Chapter 2271 Long a.s.sembly

~huu~

"I suppose I should view them now." Lin Mu said to himself as he glanced at the largest memory set.

It was a memory that extended for several hours and was the largest memory that he had a.s.sembled so far. The second largest memory set that he had a.s.sembled was barely half an hour long.

It showed just how many memories there were and how many had arrived to be a.s.sembled in the same chronological unit.

~HONGLONG~

Lin Mu touched the memory, as it brought him in the position of Ashy.

~Chirp~

He felt as if he was the bird and was hunting for bugs in an orange evening. ~WHOOSH~

The bird jumped off the side of a tree branch, falling for a few meters before soaring back up with her wings flapping. The bird's eyes darted around, as she searched for any movement and soon spotted some nearby.

~FLAP~ FLAP~

Then with a couple fast flaps, she sped up.

~CHIRP~

She let out a joyful chirp as a tiny gnat was caught between her beak.

She swallowed the gnat and looked at the swarm of hundreds that were waiting to fill her belly. With excitement filling her being, the bird flew fanatically; her beak snapping tens of times, eating as many gnats as she could.

And once her belly was full, she returned to her small nest to rest.

Lin Mu felt every sensation in this, the feeling of the wind in her feathers, the weight of her body as she dived down, and the excitement of seeing prey.

The joy of hunting as well as the pleasure of having a full belly.

It was a surreal experience and Lin Mu didn't know how to fully describe it. There were no words spoken and the thoughts of the bird were quite vague. It was similar to how someone would describe something with a single word instead of a proper sentence.

Instead of 'I want to eat' all that was thought was 'eat'.

It was a rather simplified form of thoughts, that Lin Mu didn't even know was possible.

After all, he was a human and even as an infant they had more complex thoughts than what a beast would.

But it also gave him a new perspective.

For without thoughts, other sensations became intense.

After a few hours, the memory came to an end, allowing Lin Mu to return to the memory library that he had made.

'This is it' Lin Mu now thought. 'If I can a.s.semble several of these memories, I might just be able to gain an understanding of the Sky.' He reckoned.

Ashy might have a low cultivation base, but she was a bird that had been flying since she was just a few days old. Her experience was deep and flying in the sky was something that was ingrained into her very being.

Birds were made for the skies and even if they did not have and understanding of the Sky Dao, they very well knew what the 'Sky' was.

With that goal in mind, Lin Mu started working on the memories again.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

One after the other memories appeared through the gate, which were quickly viewed and put in a suitable spot. The more Lin Mu viewed them, the faster he got until eventually he could view multiple memories at once.

It was something that would be impossible for a normal human, as it was the same as reading multiple books at once. But for an Immortal like Lin Mu who was used to processing multiple things in his mind at once, this became easy. He might have been doing it one at a time at the start, but now that he knew not to make a mistake, he could do more.

~SHAU~SHUA~SHUA~

The memories continued to enter through the gate and Lin Mu sorted through them rapidly. It reached a point where the gate never 'closed' and the memories continued to walk in like a queue.

This queue sped up, until it turned into a 'stream' that flowed steadily.

Lin Mu's mind continued to view and scan through the memories, a.s.sembling them according to chronology.

Days pa.s.sed like this, as the memories were being a.s.sembled. After all, Ashy had over three hundred years worth of memories.

It was not something that would be finished in a short time. Even with Lin Mu's rapid pace of a.s.sembling them, it still ended up taking him over two weeks before he was done with what he felt was enough.

~huu~

"This might just be enough, if I'm lucky." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He had a.s.sembled over one hundred and eight large memory sets, each of which was at least five hours at the shortest.

And if he combined them all, the memories would span at least a year total!

It was of course a very short period when compared to the entire lifespan that the bird had lived, but it was composed of just the 'right' kind of memories that Lin Mu wished to see.

They were all related to flying and being in the sky, as such Lin Mu would get the best experience in it all.

He hoped that this would allow him to pry into the secrets of the Sky Dao.

"No use waiting" Lin Mu said as he placed his hand on the extremely large memory set.

~HUALA~

His mind was pulled into it as he a.s.sumed the ident.i.ty of the bird once more.

Ashy was flying through the sky and a strong wind was currently blowing. The bird was having a hard time flying to where she wished to go, and yet she didn't falter.

She simply flapped harder and harder until she could match the wind.

The memory lasted a while before switching to another where Ashy was flying in even worse conditions.

A storm was raging and the bird was flying in it despite the danger.

Lin Mu viewed hundreds of such conditions, and with each one, he got a step closer to his goal.
