Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 46 – The century-old promise, Chen Changsheng falls asleep once again

"Left Emperor, it's not that I don't want to collect your remains, it's just that my time is up."
"Please bear with me, I'll come back to collect your remains after some time."
Chen Changsheng called out to the "Left Emperor" from eight hundred steps away.
In the Ancient Forbidden Zone, thirty years pass by in the blink of an eye.
In these final thirty years, Chen Changsheng advanced another three hundred steps, but he was still two hundred steps away from the bronze ancient hall and the Left Emperor's remains.
Seeing that it was almost time for him to sleep, Chen Changsheng had no choice but to make a promise with the Left Emperor to return in a hundred years to collect his remains.
After speaking, Chen Changsheng turned and returned to the bronze ancient hall.
The eighty years in the Ancient Forbidden Zone were the most peaceful period for Chen Changsheng.
Here, there were no grudges or feuds, only endless tranquility.
Every day, Chen Changsheng studied Dao Patterns and collected the remains of the skeletons he encountered.
During this process, he often found strange and peculiar items.
For example, a rusty iron rod, expired pills, and the most bizarre of all—a large silver bone.
This bone had no other use, but its hardness was unparalleled.
After some thought, Chen Changsheng decided to keep the bone.
...
In the bronze ancient hall, Chen Changsheng stored all the trinkets he had collected into the System Space, then lay down in the stone coffin.
He was already accustomed to the darkness inside the stone coffin.
Before falling asleep, Chen Changsheng voiced his concern.
"System, even though I've been in the Ancient Forbidden Zone for so long, I still can't guarantee my safety."

"Will anything happen to me while I'm asleep?"
In response to Chen Changsheng's doubts, the system's voice echoed in his mind.
"Host, you don't need to worry about this issue at all."
"During your sleep, you will be in an invincible state, and nothing can harm you."
"Additionally, all your vital signs will cease during sleep, making you indistinguishable from a stone."
"Why would anything that could threaten you attack a mere stone?"
Hearing this, a gleam of understanding flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
"System, does that mean I can roam the Ancient Forbidden Zone freely while asleep?"
"The system does not recommend this, as the invincible state has a time limit."
"The invincible state lasts only ten breaths, after which you will be forcibly awakened."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng's face fell.
He had initially thought of using this invincible mechanism to do something, like launching himself out with a giant slingshot.
At the moment of launch, he would immediately fall asleep, allowing him to freely enter and exit the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
Although the intervals might be a bit long, it was still a brilliant idea.
But who would have thought that the system's invincible time was limited? So stingy.
After a brief complaint about the system's stinginess, Chen Changsheng said, "System, start the sleep."
"Set the sleep time to the maximum, my attribute points are still too weak."
"Sleep initiated, sleep duration set to one hundred sixty years."
As the last word reached Chen Changsheng's ears, his consciousness completely ceased.
Chen Changsheng fell into a deep sleep, and the last trace of living presence in the Ancient Forbidden Zone vanished entirely.
The vast Ancient Forbidden Zone remained unchanged by Chen Changsheng's disappearance, just as it had always been.
...
"Squeak~"
The heavy coffin lid was pushed open, and the raggedly dressed Chen Changsheng sat up from inside.
Stretching his stiff body, Chen Changsheng looked around.
Nothing had changed, not even the dust.
If not for his decayed clothes and the additional one hundred sixty attribute points on the system panel, Chen Changsheng would have thought he had just taken a short nap.
"This unchanging environment is truly stifling."
"No wonder they say a day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world; time passes so quickly in a place like this."
After a brief reflection, Chen Changsheng looked at the system panel in his mind.
[Host: Chen Changsheng]
[Strength: 1]
[Speed: 1]
[Defense: 91]
[Spiritual Power: 0]
[Lifespan: 320]
Chen Changsheng was long accustomed to having his strength reset to zero.
Without hesitation, he invested all one hundred sixty attribute points into defense.
Satisfied with the allocation, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "System, can you give me a label?"
"Something that converts each data point into a specific realm, otherwise I have no idea how strong I am!"
In response to Chen Changsheng's request, the system's cold voice sounded.
"Label adding in progress, label addition complete."
Soon, Chen Changsheng's system panel underwent a slight change, with each data point now having a corresponding strength level.
Interestingly, aside from the defense attribute marked as the early Elemental Infant stage, all other data were marked as mortal.
"Tsk tsk!"
"Unbreakable below the early Elemental Infant stage, this defense is decent enough for self-preservation outside."
Saying this, Chen Changsheng sat cross-legged and began his first cultivation session in the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
Currently, Chen Changsheng had no cultivation at all, making fasting impossible.
If he didn't quickly gain some cultivation, he might starve to death.
A massive influx of spiritual energy poured into Chen Changsheng's body, propelling his realm from the Qi Refining stage to the Elemental Infant stage.
The reason Chen Changsheng could achieve such astonishing speed was fundamentally because he was too familiar with these realms and had abundant resources.
While others spent time desperately improving their cultivation, Chen Changsheng spent vast amounts of time reading.
Although he never deliberately studied cultivation techniques, he had read so many books!
He was well-versed in the cultivation techniques of Shangqing Temple, Xuanwu Nation, and Nightmoon Kingdom.
He remembered all the books in Xuanwu Pavilion, and he had nearly worn out the books in the Book Tomb.
In addition, Chen Changsheng had gained considerable harvests from his two visits to Nightmoon Kingdom.
Transcendent Realist, Wanyan Aguduo, Hu Zhan of the fox clan, Lin Hu of the tiger clan.
These were all people whose remains Chen Changsheng had collected, and their storage rings naturally ended up in his possession.
After all, a Funeral Escort can't do a losing business!
