This was the most optimal mode of rest. With consciousness in meditation, between a state akin to dreaming and not dreaming, the mind worked in perfect harmony with the body's instincts. It used the stored nutrients to repair and shape the body perfectly.

"I feel very good," he declared.
With a strong heartbeat, An Jing stood up and smoothly leaped from the beam to the ground, "Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
