Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 67 – Farewell to an old friend, three hundred and twenty years of slumber

Freed from her restraints, Wanyan Yue coldly said, "You've been gone for so long, why come back now?"
"That's unreasonable."
"How long I've been away has nothing to do with whether I come back or not."
Faced with Chen Changsheng's words, Wanyan Yue didn't reply but turned to look at Wanyan Aguduo's grave.
After a long pause, Wanyan Yue spoke, "I did my best with Ikkyu's matter."
"I know, Ikkyu's troubles aren't something ordinary people can solve."
"Have you been to Shangqing Temple?"
"I have. Yuanshan, that guy, managed to break through to the Divine Transformation stage."
"You've been to both places, so why come to me?"
"I wanted to check if the things beneath the bronze ancient hall were still stable, but you attacked me as soon as I greeted you."
After asking, Wanyan Yue fell silent for a moment, then continued.
"Where have you been all these years?"
"Wandering around, stopping and going, visiting many places. It's hard to explain quickly."
"How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"I don't know, maybe I'll leave tomorrow."
"What if I force you to stay?"
"You can't beat me."
"You..."
Faced with Chen Changsheng's blunt response, Wanyan Yue finally lost her composure.
She grabbed Chen Changsheng's collar, disregarding her royal demeanor, and loudly questioned him.
"All these years, I've been diligently cultivating. Why are you still stronger than me!"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng spread his hands innocently.
"I really don't know. Over the years, I've only seriously cultivated for ten years."
"The rest of the time, I didn't even think about it."
"I don't know why I keep getting stronger, even more than those who focus solely on cultivation."
Wanyan Yue: "..."
Your words are infuriating. If I could beat you, I'd really want to teach you a lesson.
Letting go of Chen Changsheng's collar, Wanyan Yue turned away coldly.
"The bronze ancient hall is under my watch. Nothing will go wrong. You can leave now."
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng tilted his head to observe Wanyan Yue's expression and tentatively asked.
"Could it be that you've fallen in love with me?"
"Did you ever give me the chance?"
"No."
"Then there you go, now get lost!"
Seeing Wanyan Yue starting to chase him away again, Chen Changsheng forced a smile and said.
"Actually, it's not surprising if you love me. After all, I'm so outstanding and handsome."
"But there's no future for us. You're a wolf, and I'm a human."
"Our children might end up being wolves..."
"I'll kill you!"
An enraged Wanyan Yue attacked Chen Changsheng once more.
Faced with Wanyan Yue's desperate attack, Chen Changsheng vanished into the sky at his fastest speed.
Watching the direction Chen Changsheng disappeared, Wanyan Yue's chest heaved, clearly infuriated.
After a while, Wanyan Yue calmed her emotions and turned to leave.
Heading towards the cold and lonely imperial hall.
Their youthful encounter was absurd yet unforgettable.
Because of him, she survived.
Because of him, her father wasn't left to rot in the wilderness.
And because of him, the great vengeance of Nightmoon Kingdom was avenged.
In truth, her encounter with Chen Changsheng was filled with destiny.
But destiny in this world can be deep or shallow, long or short.
From the moment the Transcendent Realist died, her fate with Chen Changsheng was already over.
She couldn't abandon Nightmoon Kingdom, and Chen Changsheng wouldn't stay for anyone.
Chen Changsheng could be her confidant, friend, or old acquaintance, but he would never be her Dao companion.
...
"Girl, I've visited all the old friends."
"That Little Baldy is still as kind-hearted as ever, but my little Senior Brother has done well, breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage."
"This way, I shouldn't worry about not seeing him when I wake up."
Chen Changsheng leaned against Mun's tombstone, chatting idly.
Beside the tombstone, there was a freshly dug pit, prepared by Chen Changsheng for himself.
After speaking, Chen Changsheng took out the Stone Coffin of the Immortal Lord of a Hundred Defeats.
Placing the stone coffin into the pit, Chen Changsheng lay down inside skillfully.
Looking at Mun's grave, Chen Changsheng murmured, "People often say, 'In life, we cannot sleep together, but in death, we seek to share a grave.'"
"I failed you in this life. If there's a next life, don't meet me again."
With that, Chen Changsheng closed the coffin lid, and the formation outside activated.
A large amount of soil buried the stone coffin underground.
Chen Changsheng began his third slumber, this time lasting a full three hundred and twenty years.
...
The sun rose and set, spring came and went.
Time, which countless people treasure, slipped away silently.
Three hundred and twenty years is long enough to change mountains and rivers.
The two graves Chen Changsheng personally built had long vanished without a trace.
"Whoosh!"
A towering tree trembled, and then a great force uprooted it.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
Spitting out the dirt that accidentally got into his mouth, Chen Changsheng surveyed his surroundings.
The memories from before his slumber no longer matched the current environment.
After glancing around, Chen Changsheng looked at the system panel.
[Host: Chen Changsheng]
[Strength: 200 (Elemental Infant mid-stage)]
[Speed: 260 (Elemental Infant late-stage)]
[Defense: 280 (Elemental Infant peak)]
[Spiritual Power: 200 (Elemental Infant mid-stage)]
[Lifespan: 640]
Looking at the data on the system panel, Chen Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
Ever since discovering that his spiritual power dissipated during slumber, Chen Changsheng had been seeking a solution.
Ultimately, he decided to use the Heaven and Earth Fatal Array to create a sealed environment, curbing the dissipation of his spiritual power.
Now, although not completely successful, the results were quite satisfactory.
Following his usual practice, Chen Changsheng allocated all three hundred and twenty attribute points to defense.
However, the defense attribute label left Chen Changsheng a bit puzzled.
Because the label hadn't changed to Divine Transformation or Void Refinement, but instead to "Fifth Realm."
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng asked in confusion, "System, what's going on?"
In response to Chen Changsheng's query, the system replied, "The label is merely a standard for measuring the host's strength."
"When the standard changes, the label naturally changes as well."
"Due to the current special circumstances, only a vague label is used."
Chen Changsheng: ???
The system's words didn't clarify anything for Chen Changsheng; instead, they left him even more bewildered.
"System, what do you mean by 'the standard has changed' and 'special circumstances'?"
"The current situation is too complex. Once the host regains his cultivation, everything will become clear."
