Having heard everything from Senior Xukong, Lin Mu didn't know what the issue was behind this.
"I don't even feel like I've been dreaming for that long. To me, the dream was very brief, being less than a minute long." Lin Mu said.
"That's a bit problematic." Xukong replied.
"Why so senior?" Lin Mu asked.
"If the dream was that short and you were in that dazed state for this long, it means something else happened during that period which you are unaware of." Xukong replied. "And the other option is that you saw something more, but you forgot it already; like people do after waking up from a sleep." He added.
Lin Mu furrowed his brows and wondered what could be behind this. Usually for a dream, there needs to be a basis and depending on that, there was a chance one might forget it or not.
"Maybe I'll remember the dream I forgot now, later sometime in the future." Lin Mu said, feeling unsure.
"Perhaps… if it really was a dream." Xukong spoke in a doubtful tone.
Realizing that this was a mystery they could not really do much about, Lin Mu decided to shelve it for now.

Lin Mu furrowed his brows and started to think. A minute later, he opened his eyes that had only gained an even more confused look.
"I remember feeling something… something strange and confusing." Lin Mu answered.
"Can you describe it a bit better?" Xukong inquired.
"Hmm… it was like a message… No, a calling! Yes, a calling! It felt like those lights were calling to me." Lin Mu stated.
"A calling huh…" Xukong said and started to think.
Several ideas came to his mind, most of which he did not like and was not comfortable with.
"What do you think, senior?" Lin Mu asked. "Could it be related to the Xiaofan world?"
"Perhaps… seeing as you are the world's ordained, there is a very significant chance that it was related to it. It wouldn't be out of the blue for someone like you to be called.
Like I said before, one of the benefits of being a world's ordained was the help it can provide which can even be something as simple as fortune." Xukong explained.
"Then we should go after this, shouldn't we?" Lin Mu said, feeling curious about it now.
"If we can figure out where that place is, it would be for the best. But the question is whether you still have that calling?" Xukong replied.
Lin Mu pursed his lips as he tried to recall that feeling. But even after ten minutes, he couldn't tell anything.
"I don't feel it anymore." Lin Mu said finally.
"If you don't feel it anymore, then going after it will be a wild goose chase. You will need some clues to find that place and for now, we only have that ravine as a clue." Xukong stated.
"I'll try and see if I can find a ravine like that anywhere in the records." Lin Mu said.
"Mm, maybe not now. You can ask others and ease the task." Xukong suggested.
"Ah yes, perhaps others might know more." Lin Mu agreed.
He then turned to look at the graves of his parents that had gotten about a meter far from where he was sitting and the tens of spirit apples that were lying around him.
"This place really shook hard huh… Even the spirit apples fell down." Lin Mu said as he picked up one of the apples that was still raw.

If it was before, you would not be able to eat the apple while in here and neither would they have been able to fall this easy. Your cultivation base has affected it and now this growth might also add to that." Xukong stated.
Lin Mu simply nodded his head in response as he collected all the spirit apples. Even if he didn't really have a cultivation use for the spirit apples, he could still use them as a flavoring ingredient for dishes that Little Shrubby and he cooked.
'And eating one every now and often is nice too… makes me think back to when I was still a child…' Lin Mu thought to himself as a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
He was now over twenty years of age and while it was short in terms of a cultivator; it was still quite long for a commoner. Lin Mu had progressed very quickly in that time and thus it still felt rather substantial to him.
Most experts would bitterly cultivate for hundreds if not thousands of years before they reached the same level that Lin Mu was at right now. Thus, they would have the temperament to resist the sense of nostalgia.
But for Lin Mu, that was still a long time ago.
"What's the time outside now?" Lin Mu wondered.
"Its night time, so far no one has come to ask you anything." Xukong informed.
"Hmm… so it's already night time. May as well stay here then." Lin Mu muttered.
His body would automatically cultivate while he was asleep due to the Well of Slumber and he didn't need to particularity activate the bloodline ability now. At least not in the full force.
Lin Mu had already eaten quite a lot of meat in the past couple of days before he slept and during the banquet which had allowed him to replenish all that he had lost when he transformed using the Burning heart sutra.
The sense of hunger that stayed in his belly had finally disappeared after that. But to satisfy that, Lin Mu had to eat over ninety Nascent soul realm beast carcasses.
If anyone else were to hear this number, they would be utterly shocked. But for Lin Mu, who had a stock of ten times as much as this, it was nothing.
