Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 53 – A girl changes greatly at eighteen, ten years of planning

"Sir, did you gain anything today?"
A sturdy young man dressed in coarse cloth walked up to Chen Changsheng.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng put away the paper and pen in his hand and said, "Same as usual, that Thunder Beast rarely shows itself."
The young man replied, "Sir, even you can't defeat that Thunder Beast?"
"I don't know about that, you know I generally don't like fighting."
"By the way, how's your Eight-Nine Mystical Art coming along?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I've currently reached the seventh level of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art."
"Soon, you'll be able to practice the 'Ground Traversing Golden Light' Divine Ability."
Chen Changsheng nodded with satisfaction at the young man's response and said, "To reach the seventh level of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art in ten years, you truly are a natural talent for this cultivation technique."
"It's just a pity that I only have the first nine levels of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art. The remaining sixty-three levels might never be gathered."
"Let's wait a few more months. Once you've mastered the 'Ground Traversing Golden Light' Divine Ability, we can start giving that Thunder Beast some trouble."
Indeed, the young man before him was none other than Li, the honest boy from ten years ago.
When it was known that Chen Changsheng intended to retaliate against the Thunder Beast, the entire Wu tribe thought he would soon launch an attack.
But no one expected that this wait would last a full ten years.
During these ten years, aside from teaching Li and Mun, Chen Changsheng spent the rest of his time observing the Thunder Beast.
Hearing that Chen Changsheng finally planned to take action against the Thunder Beast, Li felt a bit nervous.
After all, it was a ferocious beast at the Divine Transformation stage. Although Chen Changsheng had advanced to the Divine Transformation stage three years ago, he was still newly advanced, and facing an old hand like the Thunder Beast, the odds weren't great.
Thinking of this, Li asked, "Sir, with the cultivation system being so complex nowadays, if I ever leave the Ten Thousand Mountains, how should I gauge the strength of future opponents?"
"There's no way to judge; you can only rely on your intuition. Both external and internal cultivation have their advantages."
"Although the difference in realms isn't vast after a rough division, if you look closely, the differences become apparent."
"In a life-and-death battle, victory or defeat often hinges on a hair's breadth; even a slight difference can determine life and death."
Hearing this answer, Li laughed and said, "That's too troublesome. Why can't there be a unified cultivation method?"
"Both internal and external cultivation have their merits. Why not practice both?"
"In theory, it's possible, but so far, no one has achieved it."
"Although the Eight-Nine Mystical Art can cultivate primordial spirit power through the physical body, it essentially leans towards external cultivation."
"You know both internal and external cultivation methods, and the theories you've proposed are interesting."
"But there are still many issues that need to be resolved, and you'll have to figure them out yourself."
"Who knows, maybe in a thousand years, you'll unify the entire cultivation world and create a new cultivation system."
Faced with Chen Changsheng's eloquent speech, Li just smiled and didn't take these words to heart.
The theory of practicing both internal and external cultivation was merely a topic he discussed with Chen Changsheng in his spare time.
Even as the one who brought up the topic, he never believed it would become a reality.
"What are you two talking about? Can you share it with me?"
As they spoke, a simply dressed woman carrying a food box approached.
Despite her simple attire, it couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
Her eyes were bright and lively like black grapes, and her cherry-red lips were enticing.
Her fair skin was flawless, and her long black hair was casually pinned up with a hairpin.
Yet, this simple appearance only accentuated the woman's natural beauty.
Seeing her approach, Li grinned and said, "Mun, you're getting prettier by the day. I remember you used to be dark and skinny."
"Besides, with the sir's realm, he doesn't need food anymore, so why do you keep bringing meals?"
At this, Mun shot Li a cold glance and said, "You've been learning from Brother Changsheng for so long, yet you still can't control your mouth."
"Since you don't need food anymore, you won't be eating today's meal."
Mun's glare made Li shrink his neck.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Although cultivators can abstain from food, it's still good to eat more."
Curious, Li asked, "Why?"
"Because people always need to eat. A little more of the human experience adds a bit more humanity, doesn't it?"
"Besides, Mun's cooking is so delicious, don't you want to eat?"
"Exactly, Brother Changsheng understands. Unlike some people, who cultivate until their brains are fried."
At Mun's words, Li rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that I don't want to eat, it's just that you're biased."
"Sir always gets chicken legs in his meals, while mine is just endless greens."
"If you added chicken legs to mine, I'd be happy to eat."
"Eat if you want! If not, then leave!"
"If you want chicken legs, why don't you get them yourself?"
"You're picky even when given food. Today, you won't have any."
With that, Mun directly pushed Li aside and placed the food from the box in front of Chen Changsheng.
Faced with this preferential treatment, Li could only squat to the side and mutter quietly.
Unlike her rough treatment of Li, Mun was gentle and caring towards Chen Changsheng, almost like a virtuous wife.
"Brother Changsheng, after observing the Thunder Beast for ten years, have you discovered its weaknesses?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng swallowed the chicken leg meat in his mouth, smacked his lips, and said, "I haven't found the Thunder Beast's weakness, but I've noticed a lot of issues."
"The Water Moon Immortal Realm is one of the Wu tribe's habitats, but in terms of spiritual power, it's not a great place."

"So there's no reason for a Divine Transformation stage beast to be drawn to the Water Moon Immortal Realm."
"Yet the Thunder Beast came and has stayed here."
"What's more interesting is that the Thunder Beast could easily wipe out the Wu tribe, but it hasn't."
"It just scared you away, which is clearly not typical behavior for a ferocious beast!"
"Additionally, I've noticed that after every meal, the Thunder Beast becomes extremely lethargic, which is quite abnormal."
"You know, with a Divine Transformation stage cultivation, even going without sleep for ten years wouldn't be an issue."
Hearing the problems Chen Changsheng listed, Mun thought for a moment and asked, "Do these issues help in defeating the Thunder Beast?"
"In someone else's hands, no. But in mine, who knows."
