Half a Year

Hui Yue and his awoken friends spent all their time cultivating. The days passed in a blur. The seasons outside this strange realm changed, but within everything was the same. They all stayed at the same location, and the cold stone mansion never changed as no one left the hall they had been placed within.

The cold air of the mansion did not become warmer as the season's changed, nor did it become freezing cold, it stayed constant all the time. Similarly, the sun outside never set. It merely hovered in the same spot in the sky no matter how many days passed.

Soon three months had gone by, but the final three who were still sleeping showed no signs of waking up. Though Hui Yue and his friends were certain that they would wake up eventually, and although they were slightly worried, none of them ever mentioned the possibility of moving on.
