Chapter 2214 Three Suggested Dao Embryos
Lin Mu"s question only made the man have a smile filled with disappointment.
"If only it was that easy." Daoist Chu replied. "If I could form any Dao Embryo, it would have been fine, but the limit is that I need to form a Dao Embryo from among three Daos that have been a.s.signed to me." He explained.
Now Lin Mu understood what the issue was. "I suppose making normal Dao Embryos aren"t as big of a problem. If it was just some Basal elemental Dao Embryo, it would be simple enough." Lin Mu reckoned before a question appeared in his mind. "Wait, what Dao Embryo do you have right now?" he inquired.
"My Dao Embryo is this," Daoist Chu said before summoning it.
A cube rose out of his body that was none other than a Dao Sh.e.l.l. And contained within the Dao sh.e.l.l was his Dao Embryo that looked like a rectangular piece of paper. There were a few runes written on it too, that seemed to be flickering and changing every few seconds.
"A Talisman?" Lin Mu saw.
"Indeed. I have the Thousand Talisman Dao Embryo." Daoist Chu replied.
"A Talisman Dao embryo should technically be from the Formation Dao too, shouldn"t it?" Lin Mu asked. "So you"re focusing on the Formation Dao too?" he was surprised since he hadn"t seen many Formation Dao Embryo"s other than his own.
"Not exactly…" Daoist Chu shook his head. "It is a subset of the Formation Dao sure, but it is more of a supportive Dao embryo and doesn"t a.s.sist with the creation or manipulation of formations." He added.
"How so?" Lin Mu asked. "What does it do?" "The Thousand Talisman Dao Embryo can boost the power of every talisman or talisman based skill I use, as long as I have made it once and it has been recognized by the Embryo. As per its name, I can register a thousand talismans in the Dao Embryo." Daoist Chu explained.
Hearing the explanation, Lin Mu could see the benefits of Daoists Chu"s Dao Embryo. He had seen the many use talismans and talisman skills often. Lin Mu had wondered if this was just the method that the man preferred, but now it was clear that it was actually oriented around his Dao Embower.
"The Thousand Talisman Dao Embryo is rather efficient in its usage to and pa.s.sively boost my use of talismans, thus I can almost always keep it active." Daoist Chu revealed.
"Oh? That is indeed quite good." Lin Mu could see the benefits of it. After all, his own usage of Dao embryo consumed quite a bit of Immortal Qi. Only the Rune Shaping Brush had a lower usage, compared to his other two Dao Embryos, and that was because it was especially intended to help in the creation of formations and runes.
The True Earth Heart Dao Embryo took a lot more Immortal Qi than the Rune Shaping brush and also had more Dao Skills in it, including the Earthen Armament Aspect and the Aspect of Heaviness. These could be used both offensively as well as defensively.
Then there was the Four Faceted Nebula Dao Embryo. Technically speaking, Lin Mu hadn"t used it so far. He had learned its very first skill, which was the first facet, the Freedom of movement: Warp. But the cost of using Warp was simply too high. Lin Mu didn"t even know when it would acc.u.mulate enough energy to become active, but considering the fact that he couldn"t use it on command like his other two Dao embryo"s he knew that its consumption was the highest.
Daoist Chu"s Thousand Talisman Dao Embryo was a lot more efficient compared to all, as it could be kept active at all times. And since it was always contained within his body, there was no chance of the Dao Sh.e.l.l or Dao Embryo being damaged during a battle either.
"So what are the Dao Embryos you have been asked to create?" Lin Mu questioned.
"My sect, or rather my masters and uncle masters, have suggested that I create any, one Dao Embryo from three." Daoist Chu answered. "They are the Nine Links Chain Dao Embryo, the Six Tiles Dao Embryo and the Four Scholars Mystic Compendium Dao Embryo." He revealed.
Hearing the three names, Lin Mu was surprised. He could recognize the first two Dao Embryos as he had read about them. But he was also confused by it as these were highly unrelated to the Formation Dao.
"Nine Links Chain Dao Embryo belongs to the Dao of Restrictions and the Six Tiles Dao Embryo belongs to the Dao of Confinement." Lin Mu spoke furrowing his brows. "They want you to comprehend these Daos that you have never experienced?" he expressed his doubts.
"Indeed… I was in quite a dilemma. I have learned no skills nor techniques that are related to those two Daos." Daoist Chu shook his head. "I do not know why my master and Uncle Master asked me, but if they have suggested them, then there must be a deeper reason to it." He added.
"Hmm… it is indeed quite difficult to form those since you will take a long time to even get closer to understanding the two Daos," Lin Mu said. "And what about the final Dao embryo? I have not heard of it before." He inquired.
"The Four Scholars Mystic Compendium Dao Embryo… Quite ambitious of them to suggest this one." Lady Kang spoke up this time.
"You know of it?" Lin Mu and Daoist Chu asked in unison.
"Of course." Lady Kang nodded. "It is possibly one of the hardest Dao Embryos to create if one does not have luck with it. The Four Scholars Mystic Compendium Dao Embryo… Comes from the Dao of Scholars." She stated.
Lin Mu listened to the woman and was intrigued by it.
"The Dao of Scholars…" It was something Lin Mu was well aware of. "I suppose it is a lot closer and compatible with the Dao Of Formations or perhaps the Dao of Talismans." He added.
