Walker Of The Worlds

2269 Comprehending The Sky

Xukong watched as Lin Mu continued to practice while days continued to pass.

He had thought that he would need to advise him more, but that time never came, as Lin Mu managed to learn it all on his own. Still, learning it was no simple thing and just the Footwork alone ended up taking Lin Mu an entire month to figure out!

~WHOOSH~

-STEP-STEP-STEP-

Lin Mu moved like fish in water, his every movement containing a fluidity that was seldom seen as his feet maneuvered on the ground of the Sleepscape. What was surprising was that his feet barely made contact with the ground before he had already moved.

It was as if he was not walking on the ground, but rather a cloud floating in the sky.

There were no abrupt changes in his stance or his steps, all of them seemed to be harmonized and were close to perfection.

Every step carried Lin Mu at least a hundred meters, which was a major improvement from before.

When he had started out, Lin Mu was stumbling and falling at even five meters. But now he could travel much farther without falling. And if he maintained his gait, he could repeat it tens of times before he would have to stop.

-huu-

"That was better." Lin Mu said as he came to a stop after making a circle of the Sleepscape.

"You've certainly improved fast." Xukong praised.

"I still haven't fully learned it though." Lin Mu replied. "I've only grasped the footwork of the Cloud Dragon Stride and not the full technique." He stated.

"That is still good progress." Xukong replied. "Most wouldn't even memories the stances and the Qi circuit of the footwork in this time. And you've managed to not only do both but also apply them into your movements. Now all you have to do is to learn how to manifest the clouds." He explained.

"That's the hard part, though." Lin Mu said before looking up at the empty 'sky' of the Sleepscape. "If I am to do that, though, it would be best to do it outside in the real world with proper clouds." He stated.

"That's true." Xukong nodded. "The best way to grasp a Dao is to immerse oneself in its presence. The Sky Dao is ever-present in the skies and yet not many can sense it. But you should also remember the Sky Dao isn't just about the clouds." He reminded.

"Oh?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"The Sky Dao is composed of more things." Xukong replied. "What do you see in the sky?" he asked.

Clouds, the sun, the moon, the
