Chapter 1272: Embryo Growth Stage Of The Dao Treading Realm

Lin Mu"s brain was hard at work, trying to find out what it was that was compelling him to go to the east.

He could sense a calling in his mind, and it was vaguely pointing him in a certain direction which Lin Mu knew was east due to the information provided by Huyun Chuan.

"Considering that dream… or whatever it was, this desire is probably for those two light circles. But why? Why do I want it so much?" Lin Mu wondered.

But no matter how much he thought, he couldn"t come up with a reason. It was like a mystery that was obscure to him.

~Sigh~

"Seems like the only way is to head out and find it myself…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

But even if he didn"t know what the object of his desire was, he did know that it was current in the hands of someone else.

"There is bound to be conflict, if I"m to take it from that person… And considering that standard of the Rust Sky world, there is a great chance they are in the Immortal realm. I can"t just go against them at my current level. I"ll need to get stronger…" Lin Mu pondered.

Even if that person wasn"t in the Immortal realm, Lin Mu still needed to get stronger as there were a lot of dangers in the Rust Sky world. Just to get out of the Land of Exile along would be a h.e.l.lish task.

If anything, the stronger Lin Mu was, the easier it would be to accomplish his goals.

If one looked at him right now, they would see that Lin Mu"s eyes were filled with a drive that almost bordered on obsession. One could even say they were tinged with hints of insanity, but that would be hard to confirm.

But Lin Mu"s actions showed that he really was obsessed. He cultivated non stop and gathered as much spirit Qi as he could. The Haima tribe didn"t even send him any stone mushrooms as he didn"t want to be disturbed.

Lin Mu simply depended on his own absorption speed to continue cultivating.

Perhaps it was due to his burning desire. The speed of his spirit Qi absorption had reached a new level. The Haima tribe"s members could see a vortex of spirit Qi constantly spinning above Lin Mu"s residence.

This actually served to make them relived as well as motivate them to cultivate harder too. To them, the reason why Lin Mu had gone into seclusion was to simply grow stronger. They all wanted to leave the Land of Exile one day and hoped that it would come soon.

But to ensure that they could live to that day, they had to grow stronger. Stronger at any cost!

While Lin Mu"s spirit Qi reserves continued to climb, his comprehension of the Dao Traces was also growing. He didn"t know why, but he could now sense them a lot clearly and felt the profundities of the Earth within his Dao Embryo.

The True Earth Heart Dao Embryo was a unique Dao Embryo, and thus it was up to Lin Mu to unearth its secrets.

Lin Mu could feel it gently beating within his Dantian. With each beat, each throb, he felt like the earth spoke to him. It whispered its secrets and mysteries within his ears, making him lost within them.

Unknowingly, Lin Mu entered a state of trance and didn"t realize the change in his Dao Embryo. It was now slightly bigger than before.

This continued to happen while Lin Mu"s comprehension deepened. It wasn"t until an entire month pa.s.sed did he finally wake up from his trance.

~SHUA~

~THUD~ THUD~ THUD~ THUD~

And when he did, a wave of pressure spread all over the tribe. Everyone felt like the air had gotten heavier and even their own bodies felt twice as heavy.

Lin Mu opened his eyes, and they glowed in a brown light. Looking deep into them, one would be able to glance at the countless profound runes that flickered in and out of existence, presenting the secrets of the Dao.

~HUU~

Lin Mu inhaled deeply and calmed down the fast beating Dao Embryo.

~shua~

The pressure exuding from it also faded away with it, allowing the members of the tribe to calm down. Most of them didn"t know what had happened, but there were a couple that had a hunch about it.

Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo looked towards Lin Mu"s residence.

"He broke through…" Both of them had the same words.

And it was indeed true. Lin Mu had achieved a breakthrough after a long time and was now at the Embryo Growth Stage of the Dao Treading realm.

"Seems like my Dao Embryo is fifty percent larger…" Lin Mu observed it within his Dantian.

After watching it for a few seconds, he willed it to appear outside.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu"s Dao Sh.e.l.l flew out of his Dantian and came out of his abdomen. Then, from its compressed size of a marble, it expanded to about five meters wide. This was the largest it could grow while fitting inside the residence.

But even this was enough for Lin Mu to observe his Dao Embryo carefully.

The Heart made out of rocks, soil and mud continued to beat, and each beat was like the thrumming of the earth. It was not something that could be explained, but only felt.

Looking at the True Earth Heart, it was about the size of a hand with its fingers stretched wide. Before this, it was about the size of a normal human heart.

Lin Mu raised his hand and placed it over the Dao Sh.e.l.l, controlling the Dao Embryo within.

~HONG~

Then in the next moment, a heavy pressure appeared underneath it. Even though the Dao Sh.e.l.l was floating in the air, the floor under it still saved in.

~CRACK~

A circular depression about five meters wide was created under it.

"So this is the Full form of the Dao Embryo skill of the True Earth Heart Dao Embryo: Aspect of Heaviness." Lin Mu understood.
