Chapter 2270 Viewing Memories

Ashy's words were surprising to Lin Mu as it was not something that he would think could be possible.
After all, the bird was merely at the Dao Shell realm and was the weakest among his tamed beasts. It wasn't even at the Dao Treading realm when one would start to comprehend or at least touch upon the Dao.
Thus it seemed beyond the realm of understanding.
At least that was what Lin Mu thought initially.
But he decided to try it out first.
'There's no harm in it anyways.' Lin Mu reckoned. He looked at Ashy's tiny bead like eyes and spoke, "how will you do that?" he asked.
"Do the thing you did when we formed the link!" Ashy replied.
"Oh?" Lin Mu was a bit surprised. "Bringing our consciousness closer?" he muttered.
He had done this every time he had formed a bond with a beast and was one of the things they needed to do in order to tame the beasts.
It was the same bond that allowed them to communicate with him too. But what Ashy was talking about was much deeper than that.
"Let's try," Lin Mu said making Ashy land on his shoulder.
~Chirp~
Ashy let out a little chirp before closing her eyes. Lin Mu did the same and his mind went to the bond he had in his sea of consciousness.
The two were silent for a few minutes as their minds went deeper and deeper.
Lin Mu could feel as if he was floating in a sea of nothingness. And yet, he didn't feel lost.
There was a beacon calling out to him, like a lighthouse beckoning to him. Lin Mu moved towards it and eventually reached it, finding it to be a small grey wisp. It blended in with the darkness of the nothingness, but still stood out once one was closer.
The light coming from it was very faint, but to Lin Mu it was enough. He also knew what this was.
'Ashy's soul…' Lin Mu now knew having met the souls of his two swords before.
It was a similar situation and condition, using a bond to reduce the distance between two souls and deepen the link.
Lin Mu extended his hand towards the grey wisp knowing that it wouldn't be able to communicate on its own. After all unlike him and the two swords, the soul of Ashy was still quite weak.
The bird was only at the Dao Shell realm.
It was also why his soul was in the form of a mere wisp and not fully defined. Once it got stronger, it would eventually take a shape, allowing it to communicate better two. But for Lin Mu, it wasn't a problem as his own soul was strong and wouldn't have a problem.
~SHUA~
As soon as his hand made contact with the grey wisp, a shiver went down his entire body. The same happened to Ashy and both trembled for a few seconds before stopping.
~HONGLONG~
Then in the next second, Lin Mu felt a surge of memories filling his mind.
These had no order to them and seemed random, as if one had torn up hundreds of books and mixed in their pages. There seemed to be no link between them and the they were filling in randomly.
Lin Mu couldn't help but furrow his brow as he saw these memories.
'I suppose this should've been expected.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Considering her cultivation base, Ashy's transmission of memories through her souls will be a bit chaotic.' He understood.
But he didn't get discouraged, as he knew he could sort through them.
He already had an inkling of what he needed to do, and his experience with Ocean Raker and Afternoon Pine was helping a lot.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu's consciousness seemingly limited the memories that could enter it, as if a gate had been created.
Instead of all the memories surging at once, only a single memory could enter it instead. The memory was about Ashy building her nest on the Violet Mystic Life Tree, which showed that it was a very recent one.
'Much better.' Lin Mu thought as he read the memory and then placed it in a spot.
~SHUA~
The gate opened again and another memory entered. Drastically different to the previous memory, this was about the time when Ashy was very young. Perhaps only being less than ten years old. Her cultivation base was also very low, being at the Early stage of the Qi Refining realm.
'I thought she lost these memories… guess they were still present in her soul.' Lin Mu knew that many beasts would not have all of their memories.
They would often only remember properly once they developed a significant part of their intelligence. 'Does she have all the old memories, or only a part of them?' Lin Mu wondered as he put the memory in another spot.
~SHUA~
The third memory entered that was a bit further in the timeline as could be seen by Ashy's age in it. She was now of a higher cultivation base and was at the Core Condensation realm. Lin Mu placed it in another slot before moving onto the fourth memory. He repeated this process for each memory, trying to make a rough time line. Each progressive memory was placed in an order, while those that were a bit vague were set aside temporarily. Only when Lin Mu found the right section for it would he add them to the timeline.
On their own, the memories were quite short, some only lasting a few seconds. But once they started to add up, Lin Mu could view them in better depth. Not only did they became more 'clear' Lin Mu could also 'sense' a lot more from them.
It was like a puzzle to Lin Mu and he did it for several days without stopping. It wasn't until five days that he finally created a significantly large set of memories that were in order.
