1374 Four Faceted Nebula

From the black purple cloud, rose a vibrant red color. Then came a calming blue color and finally a shining golden color. The colors stained the cloud and it become four colored.

Each of the colored parts of the cloud gathered their energy and formed more stars within. Some were plain white in color, some red, some yellow and some blue. The stars moved around in the cloud before taking their places and settling down.

~HONG~

A sonorous hum spread from the stars, filling the entire area. When this hum reached Lin Mu, he felt a few words appearing in his mind.

‘Four Faceted Nebula...’ Lin Mu heard a name within his mind.

He opened his eyes and willed his Formless Dao shell to appear. The Dao shell looked a lot different than before though. Now it looked like a cloudy mass of four colors. Several stars could also be seen shining in it.

“The Dao Shell is formless and so is the Dao Embryo... both fit each other even when they have no shape... Harmonious.” Xukong said after observing it all. “Another Unique Dao Embryo too. I might not know about other Dao Embryo’s but I know almost all Spatial Dao Embryos. There are very few of them after all.”

“How many are there Senior?” Lin Mu asked, sensing that his own Dao Embryo seemed to be rather strange.

The True Earth Heart Dao Embryo was also unique, but Lin Mu had known about its basic properties from the start. He even knew how to use its abilities too. But for the new Dao Embryo he formed, the Four Faceted Nebula, Lin Mu was in the blind.

Other than the name of the Dao Embryo, Lin Mu didn’t learn anything else directly. While he had confidence that he will learn about it eventually, knowing more about the other Spatial Dao Embryo’s will still help him.

“Unlike the other Daos, the Spatial Dao, the Time Dao and the Chaos Dao have a total of ninety nine Dao Embryos. Thirty three for each Dao of the three Primordial elements. These are also called as the Primordial Dao Embryos and no new Dao Embryo has appeared since Primordial times.

But now you... Have made the 100th Dao Embryo.” Xukong spoke, stunning Lin Mu.

“This... is this why I can’t feel the characteristics of the Dao Embryo right away?” Lin Mu asked.

“It is definitely one of the reasons. If it was any other Spatial Dao Embryo, I would have known about it. But you have made an entirely new and unique one. This has brought forth a qualitative change that is unseen.

You will have to comprehend and understand it on your own. Even I can’t seem to be able to peer through its secrets.” Xukong replied feeling surprised too.

Lin Mu looked at his Dao Embryo and the stars that shone within it.

‘I formed the Dao Shell to be free and I pursued freedom with it... The Dao Embryo formed in response too. Then it means that it carries the character of freedom. It will not be given directly to me and I’ll need to pursue it as well...’ Lin Mu pondered on it deeply.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like this was the right way to go about it.

After a few minutes, Lin Mu lifted his hand and placed it onto the Nebula.

~HONG~

The Nebula throbbed with energy as if reacting to Lin Mu’s contact. A few seconds later it shrank and disappeared into nothingness, having returned to its rightful place in Lin Mu’s Dantian.

~SHUA~

The Spatial channel that had been open for over ten days now also closed up, with no one to keep it open directly. While it still did have the supply of Immortal qi, it wouldn’t stay open. It was like a door that could be locked when not needed.

“Lin Mu, are you okay?” Lanbao quickly appeared next to him.

She was the only one who had observed all of Lin Mu’s work as even Elder Niji didn’t dare to come close after a while. He could only watch from the distance and hope that everything went well.

To him the massive amount of Spatial energy and Spatial Dao Traces around Lin Mu were simply deadly. It was his instincts and even bloodline telling him not to go near.

And since he was unable to ‘see’ it all, he was even more terrified. As for the others like Kunzi and Immoral Taegu, they were asked to stay even further. New chapters are published on NoᴠelFɪre.net

Lin Mu looked at the mermaid that seemed to have a hint of true worry on her face and nodded.

“It’s good. I just had a little breakthrough and comprehended the Dao.” Lin Mu explained.

“Ah yes, you dabbled in the Spatial Dao?” Lanbao replied.

“You know about it?” Lin Mu asked with interest.

“Yes! I’ve read about it. Ancestor Muxuan was also said to have slight affinity to the Spatial Dao.” Lanbao stated.

“Oh? Is this due to his bloodline?” Lin Mu asked just in case wondering if it was linked to the broken statue he had found in the Land of Exile.

Now that he knew it was where the start of the Haima tribe had started, he also figured there would be a lot many things linking it.

“No.” But much to his surprise, Lanbao shook her head. “Ancestor Muxuan left behind his diaries and he’s written that originally he had affinity to water and only when he was revived by the Ancestral beast did he learn about it.”

“So the affinity came to him from the start?” Lin Mu asked for clarification.

“Yes, it should have been part of his original affinities. But he never got far with it, other than the Dao of Water and Dao of Tides.” Lanbao stated.

“Hmm... I see...” Lin Mu made a note to take a look at the diaries.

“I’ll call over the others too, they’ve been worried.” Lanbao added.

“Oh sure, I need to show them how to use the portal too.” Lin Mu replied before getting in a long conversation with several people.

And while Lin Mu was talking with Lanbao, another series of events were happening on the continent east of him.

At the Capital city of the Dao Wind Empire, a group of tense scholars were walking up to the Grand Palace. Their footsteps were light, but their nerves were stretched taut. If not for their hundreds of years of administrative work and experience, they might have just ended up fainting soon.

They were carrying a tray full of official sealed scrolls and looked to be heading to the Emperor’s private study.

As an emperor of an Immortal World empire, Emperor Feng didn’t have much in terms of free time. After becoming an emperor, even entering seclusion was forbidden in most cases. They needed to be present to take control if the situation demanded for it.

This was also why the seat of an emperor was said to have come with an equal amount of rules.

They could have the greatest power, but would not be able to cultivate fully due to being busy all the time. It was the reason why, becoming an emperor was a great and difficult task. One not only needed great talent and strength, but they also needed to know that they wouldn’t be using it after a while if they became an Emperor.

But for Emperor Feng of the Dao Wind empire, all this didn’t matter now. He was a Transcendent Immortal, having survived the seven Immortal Tribulations. This gave him a very long lifespan which had allowed him to rule the Dao Wind Empire for nearly three thousand years now.

Something like this was not seen in other empires as the requirements for becoming a emperor were high, but one only needed to be at the Sixth Tribulation immortal realm as a minor qualification that was needed for it.

But Emperor Feng had exceed them by several times.

Not only was he a talented youth who had reached the peak of the Immortal realm in less than three thousand. Then there was the fact that he had lot of life cycles accumulated.

He was also the last person to have overcome a Transcendent tribulation in the recent eight thousand years.

A Transcendent Tribulation was the tribulation one would have when one had finished seven immortal tribulations. It had no set time and could strike at any time. But if you managed to survive it, you would have a great chance for higher strength.

Not to mention, the lifespan of a Transcendent Tribulation Immortal was between 8000-30000 new years.

And because of that, Emperor Feng ended up becoming the strongest.

People would quake in their boots when they heard about him and now these scholars were heading to meet him as well.

~CREAK~

The large door opened as the scholars entered with a loud sound.

“Oh? You’re here,” Emperor Feng who was reading.

“My Emperor, the information you asked is here.” The first person asked.

“Hmm... now lets see what brings my son to this world after hundreds of years.”
