Walker Of The Worlds

2430  Method Of Recovery

"With the amount of Immortal Essence that is contained within the Three Apertures, it is definitely enough for me to reach the Aperture Linking Realm." Lin Mu reckoned. 'And if I can utilize the amount stored in my stomach too, it might allow me to progress even more.' He thought.

But before he could attempt anything like that, Lin Mu knew there were other things to consider.

The biggest one being that he had just awakened and still needed to address the situation of things around him. After all, it had been twenty five years since he had been in the Slumber. The phenomenon around him had also calmed down and now all that could be seen was him standing in the middle of the Blood Lake.

~HUU~

As such, taking a deep breath, Lin Mu opened his eyes again, looking at the surroundings. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The first thing that he noticed was the blood all around him, which was rather surprising.

"Why's there so much blood here?" Lin Mu couldn't help but ask.

"It was for you." The Saintess, who had been patiently waiting for him, replied. "For me… Wait, is this what allowed me to recover so fast?" Lin Mu raised his brows in shock.

"Mmhmm." The Saintess nodded her head. "I knew the Well of Slumber would take too long to awaken on its own and the lack of energy you had after what you did in the Spatial Plane. So I had to use another method to fix that." She added, before explaining everything.

Lin Mu heard it all and was amazed at it all.

The method that the Saintess had used could almost be considered 'Crude' but complex at the same time. She had essentially decided to address the lack of energy in his body in the simplest way… Throwing him in the middle of a 'energy rich' pool.

The simplest way to do this was to use Beast blood that would have a lot of vitality.

But this was where the Saintess made it complex.

She not only used their blood, but entire beast corpses, along with who knows how many herbs to make a rich mixture. The difficult part for others would have been to turn the mixture homogeneous since the corpses and herbs were solid.

Even if they could be pulverized or crushed, they wouldn't fully mix. Not to mention there would be a lot of incompatibilities in it all.

But the Saintess was a Celestial and had her own method. With a little bit of poison, she turned the entire thing corrosive, melting away both corpses and herbs into a uniform mixture. Of course, this would be a devastating method if used by anyone, since it would simply destroy everything.

Only the Saintess who had superior control over it all would be able to do it and as such, the corpses and herbs were 'digested' in the best way and turned into nutrients for Lin Mu's body to absorb.

If it were any other person, this method would not work since they wouldn't really absorb much from this skin. But the Saintess knew of the obscure technique that Lin Mu practiced that allowed him to consume ungodly amounts of food.

Plus, she had also seen his absorption ability. Thus, she had faith that his body would be able to absorb it all like a sponge.

And that was exactly what had happened.

"No wonder I managed to wake up early and why I feel so full of energy." Lin Mu muttered in realization. "I was constantly being 'fed' all this time." "I tried to shorten your time of awakening as much as possible, but I didn't know how long it would still take." The Saintess added.

"But how is that possible?" Lin Mu asked. "Even if I had plenty of energy, the Well of Slumber would still not end before its intended time." He added.

"You can think of it as a 'threat' to the Bloodline of the Great Slumber Bear." The Saintess replied cryptically.

"Threat?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"After your forceful purification of that girl Kang's body, you had exhausted your bloodline by a lot. As such it entered rest. But by immersing you in this lake of blood that not only contained energy but also remnants of their bloodlines, it acted like a passive threat to your bloodline.

In its weakened state, it wouldn't be able to assess the threat and would feel like there was something posing danger to it at all times. Especially after your bloodline spirit had fought so many bloodlines before, it would remember that feeling. Even though in reality, the bloodlines were all neutralized in the mixture." The Saintess explained in detail.

"So… You stimulated my bloodline with an immune response?" Lin Mu compared it to what he had read in some physiology books before.

"In a way, yes." The Saintess responded. "Still, it took twenty five years to do that." "Its better than a hundred." Lin Mu was pleased nevertheless. "If I had been left as is, I would probably need a hundred years to awaken and even then I might not be fully recovered." He knew that his injuries might be healed, but his energy stores would need longer to recover.

But now both had recovered with the exception of the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets.

~WHOOSH~

Just as the two were talking, though, the sound of wind stirring was heard before a woman appeared.

"You're finally awake." Lin Mu turned to look at the beautiful woman whom he had saved before. "Lady Kang…" He muttered.

~CLAP~

"Me and my clan owe you a great life debt. I swear on my soul that I'll help you recover your cultivation and grow it beyond!" Lady Kang quickly cupped her hands and bowed deeply, making Lin Mu flustered.

"I-it's fine, lady Kang." Lin Mu quickly moved to prop up the woman. "You don't have to do this." But while holding her shoulders, he could feel her trembling. Her face seemed to be calm on the surface, but it was all a facade and she was trying hard not to lose her composure.
