Chapter 1292: Losing Aim And Finding New One

Lin Mu obtained a few more details from Huyun Chuan before getting to another thing that had been pending for a while.

"It doesn't seem like anyone's coming to rescue you." Lin Mu stated.

Huyun Chuan's expression fell upon hearing this, but he quickly forced a straight face.

"They just need more time. They are probably being monitored even now and need to wait longer. They will come get me, just you watch." Huyun Chuan reiterated.

"Mm… but even if they come, how will they exactly find you here? This place is vast and full of dangers. Are they even sure you would live long enough to be rescued?" Lin Mu said, depressing the man even more.

"Even if they get here, they will be limited how long they can search for. You surely don't think they will keep on searching for you non-stop without any clue?" He added.

Deep down, Huyun Chuan knew Lin Mu's words were reasonable, but he didn't want to believe them. He wanted to keep on hoping that someone would really come to get him later.

~Sigh~

"Guess we'll just wait then. We'll get out some other way, if they don't come." Lin Mu said before taking his leave.

Huyun Chuan stayed without moving, depressive thoughts going through his head without a stop.

It wasn't that Lin Mu didn't want to believe in Huyun Chuan's people.

'It would be a lot easier if they came to get him. As long as I have a look at the talisman, I should be able to make more of them. Maybe even an array that can directly get the tribesmen out.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

For now, he could only do his best to prepare and let the clan develop.

They need a firm footing if they were to venture outside. There was no telling the dangers they would face right after leaving the Land of exile.

'At least we have the saving grace with Elder Niji. His affinity for Water Dao is really unexpected. Even seems to be innate on some level.' Lin Mu remembered.

"Perhaps we'll learn more once the others breakthrough. Though maybe I can try and teach them some water elemental Qi skills or techniques?" Lin Mu pondered.

He did have a lot of them that were collected over the years, but having to change them to fit the Haima Tribe's requirements was going to be difficult.

"There's no harm in trying. We got time anyway… as long as I that desire doesn't flare up." Lin Mu's face darked.

He had not forgotten that day, which had forced him into a state he didn't like. The feeling of having something stolen from oneself was hard to deal with. Especially one that incited pure rage within him.

Even now, Lin Mu could feel that desire if he focused his mind. It was something he would have to inevitably search for.

While thinking about all this, Lin Mu returned to his residence.

He put the twin snakes on their pillow and decided to rest as well.

'It's been months since I slept.' Lin Mu realized.

The last time he had slept was when that incident happened. He didn't dare to sleep after that.

"It should be fine now, right? Even if something happens, I'm at least a bit more experienced now and won't be caught off guard." Lin Mu said to himself before lying on the bed.

Closing his eyes, he dozed off quickly.

It seemed like luck was on his side, and he didn't encounter the same situation as before.

"Guess I was worried about nothing…" Lin Mu said in a hoarse voice after waking up.

He stretched his body and went to take a look around the tribe. He returned a few hours later and started to cultivate.

For Lin Mu cultivation was trying to deepen his understanding of the Dao Trace of Earth now. It would also help him learn more about his Dao Embryo and perhaps even take it to the next level.

He sat and mediated while the Dao shell floated in front of him.

Right now, the Dao Shell was in its miniature form and was about the size of a watermelon. The Dao Embryo within it though, was just the right size to observe. It was about the same aside as a human heart and allowed one to observe it in detail.

~lub~dub~lub~dub~

The True Earth Heart Dao Embryo continued to beat lightly, allowing Lin Mu to focus on it. He felt like this might be the best method to increase his understanding.

In the Dao Treading realm, there was no set method of doing things. Even if there were manuals, they merely described some general steps that one could take.

Only for Dao Embryos that were well established and recorded, were there any concrete methods.

But for Lin Mu, who had a unique Dao Embryo, he had to learn and discover everything on his own.

The more he listened to the True Earth Dao Embryo, the more connected he became to it.

Each vein, each beat, each vibration was being melded into Lin Mu's being.

'What is the meaning behind my Dao Embryo? Every Dao Embryo has a meaning behind its form, so where does mine come from?' Lin Mu came upon this question.

'True Earth Heart… a Heart made truly from the earth. A heart is the core of one's body. It pumps the blood, which gives everything energy. Without it, one would be dead.

A Heart of Earth should do the same then?

But what can it supply instead of blood?

Something as important as continuing life… can it do that?' The more Lin Mu thought, the more questions presented to himself.

He didn't feel like these questions were bad though. To him, it only felt like more doors were appearing, each showing a new facet of his Dao Embryo.

Lin Mu continued to cultivate and ponder like this for several days on end, time turning into a mere afterthought.
