Chapter 1891 Rapid Growth And Understanding Of Embryo
When Lin Mu had first formed the Dao Embryo, it was smaller. Even if the Four Faceted Nebula was 'formless' it still had a certain volume. The rules of the Dao Embryos still applied and it was at the Embryo Birth Stage.
But it had now expanded from its initial couple of meters of size to more than 10 meters wide!
It was clear that the Four Faceted Nebula had officially progressed to the Embryo Growth Stage of the Dao Treading realm!
"Senior... It broke through." Lin Mu said, seeing the growth.
"It has yes... And it does not seem to be stopping just yet." Xukong replied.
"Yeah, but I can't feel much difference in it." Lin Mu said, gazing at the Four Faceted Nebula that continued to grow.
It was already at the twelve meter mark, which was rather big. After all, this wasn't just a Dao Shell, but also the Dao Embryo. They were combined and as such, it was hard to tell what was what.
They had become a single entity.
Normally Dao Embryo's weren't that big, or at least their original forms weren't. Only when they were utilizing some Dao Skill would there be a change in their size.
But here, the Four Faceted Nebula Dao Embryo itself was growing in size.
Lin Mu and Xukong could only watch and see just how far it would go.
Twenty minutes passed and the Dao Embryo was now at the Twenty meter mark.
Usually, this was the limit for the growth of the Dao Shells, but it was hard to tell if the same could apply here.
Lin Mu watched with bated breath, as the Dao Embryo went past the twenty meter mark and increased to twenty one meters!
<nulli>"Haaah~" A surge of energy rushed through Lin Mu's body, causing him to take a deep breath.
His hands and legs trembled, as the power felt new to him.
"Are you okay?" Xukong asked with concern.
"I'm okay... it doesn't hurt... it's just... new and unfamiliar." Lin Mu replied as he chanted the Calming Heart Sutra to stabilize his breathing.
~<nulli>CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~
The Four Faceted Nebula having gone past the 20 meter mark, seemed to have triggered a qualitative change of some kind as its power suddenly multiplied. The force coming from it increased, causing the Spatial Cracks to expand as well as an increase in number.
<nulli>~WHOOSH~
More streaks of Spatial Elemental Immortal Qi poured out of it and were absorbed by the Dao Embryo.
'Since its size has increased, it is able to capture multiple of them at once and is also faster than before.' Lin Mu observed. 'Its speed is almost comparable to teleportation.' He estimated.
With more spatial cracks and a higher amount of Spatial elemental immortal Qi pouring in, the growth of the Four Faceted Nebula Dao Embryo became even faster.

FIFTY METERS!
In just thirty minutes, the Dao Embryo expanded to the size of fifty meters. Now it looked like a large wall that blocked all that was in its way. It didn't even need to move around to capture the Spatial elemental immortal Qi streaks, as its size was big enough, and its suction force was also stronger.
The silvery grey streaks were like meteors being attracted by the gravity of a planet, curving around but eventually being pulled by it and crashing into it.
<nulli>~FUWA~
At that point, it felt like the Four Faceted Nebula had become even more greedy and directly pounced onto the spatial cracks. It stuck onto the cracks and patched them up.
<nulli>~Crinkle~
It stayed like that for a minute before starting to wrinkle and shrink. But while shrinking, it still stayed stuck to the Spatial Cracks, causing them to shrink as well.
From fifty meters, it reduced to twenty five, then ten, and finally to just a meter. The tens of spatial cracks that had been created because of it all disappeared and the space had stabilized once more.
<nulli>~sha~
Then, as if it had finished its meal, the Four Faceted Nebula 'peeled' off the spatial fabric and floated in front of Lin Mu.
"This..." Lin Mu could feel the link between him and the Dao Embryo getting stronger at that moment.
His control over it was also restored, allowing him to understand it in depth.
Xukong watched it all with interest and concern, ready to act if anything happened. Even if it was Lin Mu's own Dao Embryo, there was no telling if there could be any mishaps with it.
There were always cultivators who had been injured by their own Dao Embryos. After all, Dao Embryo's were not 100% safe.
A good example was none other than the Dao Embryo of Childe Wildfire.
The Scorch Sun Ruby Dao Embryo was a very dangerous and powerful Dao Embryo. If one did not have the necessary strength and willpower to control it, it could burn themselves.
Even Childe Wildfire had suffered a backlash from it and had taken a long time before he utilized it.
One needed to know when they were ready to use their Dao Embryo and the Dao Skills associated with it.
And until now, the same could be said for Lin Mu and the Four Faceted Nebula.
"It is finally responding to me... I can feel it... I can sense it..." Lin Mu felt a stream of information appearing within his head at that moment.
The first thing he understood was that the Four Faceted Nebula had broken through again and was now at the Dao Comprehension Stage of the Dao Treading realm.
The next thing that Lin Mu grasped was the Dao Skill that was born from the Dao Embryo.
"Four Faceted Nebula Dao Embryo! First Facet: Freedom of Movement- Warp!" Lin Mu uttered, making the Dao Embryo respond.
<nulli>~HUALA~
The Dao Embryo expanded and turned into a swirling vortex, the shimmering stars within it moving and arranging themselves into a pattern.
Xukong who saw this, was stunned, as the power exuding from the Dao Embryo was far greater than should be possible.
