Chapter 162 - Goals
Upon hearing Senior Xukong’s words, Lin Mu did not feel disappointed. If anything, he felt calm as this only meant that he had more time to prepare for it. Not to mention even if he killed the great slumber bear, he still did not know how he would obtain its bloodline.
Lin Mu’s guess turned out to be true as Senior Xukong soon continued his explanation.
"The bloodline of the Great slumber bear is very strong; thus you will need to prepare beforehand. Usually, when a beast is killed for the purpose of obtaining its bloodline, it is stored in a special container. But you don’t have that luxury, thus when you kill the Great slumber bear, you will have to assimilate the bloodline right away.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
But the next problem that you will face after assimilating the bloodline would be the activation of the ability ’Well of slumber’. If you do not prepare well and fall asleep, you will simply starve to death, thus during this time period you need to learn the technique of the lost immortal.
But simply having the technique won’t be enough. Assimilating a bloodline is a tough task. You need a strong will and body to be able to successfully do it. Especially in the case of an immensely strong bloodline of the great slumber bear, your body will need to be very strong.
Thus for that, you will need to reach the completion of the body tempering realm and saturate your body with the maximum amount of vital energy that you can." Xukong explained in detail.
After hearing and comprehend senior Xukong’s words, Lin Mu started to formulate his plans for the upcoming year.
He now had a goal, which was to obtain the bloodline of the great slumber bear. In addition to this, there were some other goals he needed to complete. The first of which was to investigate the culprits, and the next was to increase his own cultivation.
~Sigh~
Lin Mu sighed at the multitude of tasks that he needed to do, but his eyes seemed to be glowing with determination. He was not appalled at this, but was rather looking forward to it. Lin Mu was also feeling that they were making little waste after coming all this way.
Lin Mu remembered the scary stories he heard from his parents about how there were monsters living beyond the northern mountains, and that’s why it was called as a forbidden area. But now that he looked at the snowy white mountains, they looked anything but scary.
They simply looked...
"Beautiful..." Lin Mu muttered.
The clouds in the sky had flown away and the snow had stopped. The half-moon could be seen hog up in the sky and stars could be seen twinkling in the blanket of night. Gently flowing wind passed through Lin Mu’s hair as he stood on the top of the tallest tree.
Having taken his fill of the picturesque scene, Lin Mu had decided to get down when he spotted some broken trees.
Because he was at the very top and the snow had covered the land, these trees were hard to spot. Lin Mu descended to some lower trees and went towards the location where he had seen the broken trees. He then discovered that a long trail of broken trees could be seen heading towards a particular direction.
Lin Mu immediately recognized what it was, and an idea appeared in his mind. He got down onto the ground and checked the broken trees. All of them were knocked down with some of them being splintered because of a great force.
Lin Mu looked at the leaves of the broken trees and judged that they were broken down not too long ago, most likely a week ago. The trail of broken trees came from the center of the forest and went all the way to the entrance of the cave.
"Was this done by the Great slumber bear?" Lin Mu questioned himself.
"Hmm, it does seem like it." Xukong acknowledged.
Suddenly Lin Mu remembered something.
"Wait, Zhou Ye told us that when he was attacked, the beast later ran away and while running away the beast had knocked down the trees. If we follow this, we can find the site of the attack!"
