Chapter 912: Seventeen Dao Traces
“HWAAAAAAA~” Lin Wu let out a big yawn and stretched his main body. “Damn… its been quite some time since used this.” He said.
The main body had been cultivating in the tomb the entire time Lin Wu was in the south. The avatar had been his ‘home’ for over two years now and had obtained quite a lot of benefits in the south.
Both his avatar and the main body had grown quite a bit in this time in terms of cultivation base. Since they were at the Shell expansion stage, they basically had no maximum limit for how much spirit Qi they could accumulate.
Lin Wu had decided to use it all at once to directly reach the Dao Treading realm when he had a sufficient comprehension of the Dao traces.
‘I do feel like I’m starting to feel it… that call…’ Lin Wu tried to recall.
In the two years, in addition to his plans, he had also focused on deepening his understanding of the Dao Traces. He had managed to actually narrow down a few Dao traces that he had an affinity to.
“Show the progress with that system.” Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~

The window that was in front of Lin Wu right now was the culmination of the system’s work over the years. In the past, it couldn’t do something like quantifying the Dao traces. It could barely even detect them in the first place.
But now that Lin Wu had consumed and obtained thousands upon thousands of data nodes as well as other forms of data though books and documents, the system had finally devised a method to do so.
And not just that, it had actually calculated the compatibility that Lin Wu had with each Dao trace.
But while doing this, even the system had run into a problem. There were actually Dao Traces that were still beyond its understanding. Or at the very least, they weren’t part of the data banks.
Among the seventeen Dao Traces that the system had detected, there were two such that they couldn’t be recognized. And not just that, but they were also the ones that had the highest compatibility with Lin Wu.
What was unique about them though was that the system had determined that Lin Wu’s different bodies had exclusivity to those Dao traces. This was not the same for the rest of the fifteen.
Theoretically, Lin Wu could make the same kind of Dao embryo in both bodies. But he had learned enough that the doing that wasn’t the best option.
Additionally, even if he had the potential to form the Dao Embryos from these many Dao Traces, the gains he would obtain from them would still vary. Which was why Lin Wu had a new focus now.
‘I have to go for those with the 100% compatibility. They would provide the best benefits to me in the long run. I can always make the Dao Embryos for other daos later on after all,’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
There was technically nothing restricting one form having more than one Dao Embryo in the Dao Treading realm. If one wanted to, they could delay their cultivation and focus on making another Dao Shell and then birthing a Dao Embryo in it.
But it would be very difficult and come with a set of restrictions. The biggest one being time.
Many cultivators simply didn’t have sufficient lifespan such that they would spend extra time in making another Dao shell then birthing a Dao embryo in it. Simply making the Dao shell would be the easy part. Actually comprehending and understanding the Dao Traces enough to form a Dao Embryo would be the hard one.
Because of this, most of the cultivators only did something like making another Dao Embryo when they had reached the Immortal realm and had the spare time to do that. Additionally, by that point, their natural ability to comprehend things would also increase.
With the gain in experience after reaching the Immortal Realm, they would find it a lot easier to form new Dao Shells and Dao Embryos. It wouldn’t take as long as it did below the Immortal realm either.
But in the case of Lin Wu, he was the exception. Not only was his lifespan naturally longer than others at the same cultivation base, but he also had the support of system. He could form a Dao shell right away if he wanted to with the stored spirit Qi.
All of this could be done with the help of the system. Comprehending the Dao was something that only Lin Wu himself could do. What the system did by tabulating this information was only to show Lin Wu what would be the best option.
‘The two unknown Dao Traces certainly have something to do with my bloodlines. One for the unknown bloodline in my main body and one for the Chimeric Fiend Worm bloodline.’ Lin Wu reckoned.
Because of all this, he was fixated on these two bloodlines. He even felt them ‘call’ to him when he focused on comprehending them. This happened occasionally and Lin Wu felt like when he was fully able to focus on them, he would successfully form a Dao Embryo and even find out what the Dao Trace’s name was.
