1522 The Expanded Sleepscape

The Violet Mystic Life Tree had fully implanted itself in the Sleepscape, but Lin Mu hadn’t felt any change yet.

“Is it not going to do anything?” Lin Mu wondered.

He had seen that the Immortal Essence crystal mine had been absorbed into the ground too along with the roots of the Violet Mystic Life Tree thus he had expected there to be some change.

After all, the last time he had put the Source vein of a Spirit stone mine, it had directly merged into the Sleepscape and increased the spirit Qi in its air. It had helped the plants in the Sleepscape a lot and Lin Mu was hoping that the same would happen in this case too.

~SHUA~

And just as Lin Mu was thinking about this, he felt an energy fluctuation in the Sleepscape. It seemed to have come from deep within it and Lin Mu couldn’t pinpoint it exactly. But he knew that the change was finally happening.

“It’s beginning…” Lin Mu braced himself for it all.

~RUMBLE~

A few seconds later, he felt the entire Sleepscape shake!

“Whoa!” Lin Mu almost fell.

It was like an earthquake was happening at that moment.

All the plants in the Sleepscape were shaking non stop and so was the Violet Mystic Life Tree. In fact, it was moving the most, and it almost looked like it would shed all its leaves, but it didn’t happen.

The tree held on and not a single leaf fell.

~TREMBLE~

A couple of minutes later, Lin Mu felt like the ground under him was moving.

“Its… its growing!” Lin Mu realized.

He looked at the Violet Mystic Life Tree and felt like it was going far from him. He immediately spread his Immortal sense over the entire Sleepscape and observed it in detail. And just as he had guessed, the Sleepscape was truly growing.

The distance between the Violet Mystic Life Tree and other plants grew and even the graves of his parents moved to a farther location.

Lin Mu sat down and decided to watch as the process happened.

It seemed very stimulating, but it wasn’t actually fast. After observing for an hour or so, Lin Mu felt like the distance between the graves and the Violet Mystic Life Tree had increased by a hundred meters.

‘The area of the Sleepscape is certainly expanding… the only question is how much will it grow?’ Lin Mu wondered.

Before this, whenever the Sleepscape had increased in size, it had been due to an increase in Lin Mu’s cultivation base. While it wasn’t consistent, the growth had not been as radical as now.

Another thing was that this was the first time Lin Mu was directly witnessing the Sleepscape expand. Before this, all expansions had happened automatically after his breakthrough, and none of these changes were witnessed by him.

But now that he was seeing it, Lin Mu started to analyze it.

He questioned how it could grow like this and what was the logic behind the existence of the Sleepscape.

From what he had learned from Xukong, the Garden of Karma was a kind of a unique physique that was directly linked to one’s soul. Though even this was debated since there weren’t many people that had it.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

Before Lin Mu, there had only been four people after all.

The lack of information made both Xukong and Lin Mu wonder about the characteristics of the Garden of Karma. But it was something they could only wait and observe. Thus, now that Lin Mu was seeing it, it felt rather marvelous to him.

~shua~

Xukong appeared next to Lin Mu and watched it along with him.

“It’s certainly an enigma. I don’t think it fits in any definition of a normal plane or world.” Xukong spoke.

“Indeed… the Sleepscape does not exist in the void. And then there’s also the fact that it allows me to have a body within it while also having a body in the real world.” Lin Mu replied.

“The ability to have two bodies is indeed unique. One body for the Sleepscape and one for the real world. Each can affect the other, and even cultivation is possible…” Xukong muttered.

The two of them grew silent, as there was no need for any more words. They simply watched the growth of the Sleepscape. Lin Mu wondered if he could gain any insights from this and tried to observe it using Spatial Perception, but was unable to.

~Sigh~

‘It’ll be a long observation…’ Lin Mu thought.

Hour after hour passed and before Lin Mu realized, over a day had passed!

The Sleepscape had expanded by quite a lot now, and it didn’t look the same.

“My Immortal Sense can’t cover the entire Sleepscape now… it’s far too big.” Lin Mu muttered in surprise.

“That’s certainly a good growth.” Xukong spoke as he looked at the Violet Mystic Life Tree that was now quite far away. “Though it should stop growing soon, the expansion has slowed down too.”

Before the expansion started, Lin Mu was standing right next to the Violet Mystic Life Tree. But now, he could barely see it in the distance. This distance alone was over a kilometer and made Lin Mu wondered how much the overall increase was.

~humm~

After another half an hour, the growth finally stopped as another energy fluctuation spread from the depths of the Sleepscape.

~HONG~

But this time it didn’t stop and only continued to increase.

~HUALA~

Then a minute later, it was as if a dam was broken!

A massive surge of immortal essence spread out from the ground and filled the entire Sleepscape!

“Whoa!” Lin Mu’s hair was blown back from the wave of Immortal essence.

His body felt the full brunt of it and was energized just from that. And it wasn’t him either, as the Violet Mystic Life Tree seemed to be swaying in joy too!
