Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 56 – The ancient moon illuminates the present, coming from the wrath of the Thunder Clan

Chapter 56

Li quickly gathered all the members of the Wu Clan.
Looking at the pile of meat stacked like a mountain before them, everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "The meat of the Thunder Beast is extremely delicious. Everyone should enjoy it quickly."
"However, there's one thing I need to tell you all: beasts have a very keen sense of smell."
"Once you eat the Thunder Beast's meat, other Thunder Beasts will definitely be able to smell it."
"In other words, once you take this step, there's no turning back."
After speaking, Chen Changsheng smiled at the Wu Clan members.
Ten years was a long time for them.
Long enough for them to forget their original purpose.
Dealing with the Thunder Clan was no small matter. Chen Changsheng could allow no one to help him, but he absolutely would not tolerate betrayal at a critical moment.
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Clan Leader Guli immediately understood the implication.
Without any hesitation, Guli said, "What are you all waiting for? Start roasting the meat quickly!"
"This is a gift from the Divine Envoy."
With Guli's call to action, the Wu Clan members quickly mobilized.
Seeing the Wu Clan make their choice, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, then turned and left the cave entrance.
......
At the mountain peak.
Chen Changsheng sat alone on a large rock, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
At this moment, Mun approached with a piece of roasted meat wrapped in clean leaves.
"Brother Changsheng, try this. I just finished roasting it."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "Our Mun is still so considerate, unlike that rascal Li."
"He only cares about eating good things himself."
After praising Mun, Chen Changsheng leisurely ate the roasted meat.
Mun rested her chin on her hands, her eyes filled with happiness as she looked at Chen Changsheng.
"Brother Changsheng, what do you plan to do after dealing with the Thunder Beasts?"
"Of course, I'll leave here and continue doing what I used to do!"
Hearing that Chen Changsheng planned to leave, Mun, though she had expected it, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Brother Changsheng, what is it that keeps weighing on your mind?"
"Nothing much, I'm looking for someone."
"She ran quite far, and I've spent nearly a hundred years searching without finding her. Who knows how much longer it will take."
Hearing this, Mun's eyes instantly reddened.
"She's a woman, isn't she?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's confirmation, Mun fell silent.
After a long while, Mun's lips trembled, and she forced a bitter smile, saying, "For a woman that Brother Changsheng has searched for so long."
"You must really like her, right?"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing her tearful eyes, Chen Changsheng laughed and patted Mun's head.
"You silly girl, so young, why are you always thinking about these things?"
"Who says searching for a woman for a long time means you like her."
Hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Mun's eyes.
"If it's not deep love, then what keeps Brother Changsheng searching for so many years?"
"Love indeed brings happiness, but it's not the only thing that keeps one going."
"The person I'm looking for was entrusted to me by an old friend on their deathbed."
"So I need to ensure her safety. Even if she's already dead, I need to bring her body back for burial."
"It's a promise, and a way to cherish the past."
Hearing this answer, Mun wiped away the tears about to fall from her eyes and said.
"Brother Changsheng, can you tell me the story of the past?"
"Sure!"
Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and began to recount the ordinary story of the past.
......
The breeze blew gently, and the moon remained bright.
Mun bit her silver teeth, her eyes wide with anger as she looked at Chen Changsheng.
"She liked you!"
"Yes."
"But you rejected her!"
"That's right."
"I know everything, including Niansheng's feelings for me."
Hearing this, Mun suddenly stood up excitedly.
"What about me?"
"Will you reject me just like you rejected her?"
Looking at Mun's reddened eyes, Chen Changsheng calmly said, "Yes."
"Why?"
"You don't cling to cultivation, you do everything as you please, so why do you keep rejecting?"
"If you intended to reject from the start, why be so good to those around you?"
"Why not harden your heart from the beginning?"
Hearing this question, Chen Changsheng didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he looked up at the bright moon over the mountains and said, "People today don't see the ancient moon, but today's moon once shone on ancient people."
"There's a saying, people only cherish something after losing it."
"If you knew in advance that something was destined to be lost, would you refrain from cherishing it?"
"That's just sophistry. How can people know what will happen in the future? What makes you think you'll definitely lose it?"
"Why not? You can foresee it too."
"For example, your Wu Clan members will gradually die, which is an unchangeable fact and a foreseen future."
Hearing this, Mun was stunned.
Although Chen Changsheng didn't explicitly say anything, Mun had already guessed the answer from his words.
Mun trembled as she said, "Brother Changsheng, can you really see everyone's future?"
"Yes."
Receiving Chen Changsheng's confirmation, Mun slowly raised her right hand, gently caressing Chen Changsheng's face.
Looking at Chen Changsheng's handsome and youthful face, Mun said with heartache.
"After all this time, your heart must be in pain."
"Pain becomes numb with time, which is why I like collecting bodies."
"Because collecting bodies allows me to keep their memories in my heart and bury them there too."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's answer, Mun remained silent.
Holding hands and growing old together is the greatest blessing for lovers.
But if this blessing were placed on Brother Changsheng, it would be the most vicious curse in the world.
Watching the one you care about age and die, turning into a handful of yellow earth, is there a more cruel curse in the world?
......
Thunder Beast Gathering Place.
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt as thick as a bucket struck a metallic mountain range, and a massive figure flew out from the mountains.
"Who is it!"
"Who killed my child!"
A gigantic Thunder Beast hovered in the air, its scales different from other Thunder Beasts, with a faint purple hue.
Boundless rage filled its heart because it had just sensed the fall of its offspring.
At this moment, other Thunder Beasts also flew out from the mountains.
Looking at the surrounding clan members, the purple Thunder Beast roared angrily, "My child, Leishan, the pride of the Thunder Clan, has fallen."
"No matter who killed it, our Thunder Clan will make them pay with blood!"
With that, countless powerful roars pierced the sky.
Clearly, the Thunder Clan was planning to go all out.
