The shifting, flickering light faded into nothing, and the patch of black water gradually settled, merging completely into Huaihai.
After Dao Seeking in water, Huaihai looks completely different to me...
Ignoring everyone's eager stares, Meng Chuan murmured inwardly, his expression delighted as he lost himself in the state of "Dao transformation."
Dao transformation meant becoming a Dao Embryo.
What was a Dao Embryo?
It was a seed, but more than that, it was a state of being.
A Dao Embryo signified an "embryo of the Dao" truly gestating within the body. In other words, it was the first step in the human body's transformation toward the Dao.
A water Dao Embryo Prototype could become a source of flowing water that commanded all waters—the first step on the long journey of a human body truly entering the water Grand Dao.
At this moment, as he merged into Huaihai...
I am Huaihai, and Huaihai is me.
The portion occupied by his mystic water was his true body. His ability to merge into the vast expanse of Huaihai was a permission granted by Dragon King Cui.
Compared with a human body or any other bodily structure, transforming into a Dao Embryo after advancing to the Dao-Seeking Realm could be considered another genuinely existing form. It marked the true beginning of a martial artist's—no, a Dao cultivator's—path beyond humanity!
Meng Chuan's eyes flickered as he pondered. I visualized the Mother River of the Stars to seek the Dao. That means growing my water Dao Embryo involves transforming myself into a "beggar version" of the Mother River of the Stars. When those little planets solidify until they're clearly visible, I'll have reached the seventh-tier Enlightenment Realm.
*As my comprehension improves, my Dao Embryo can continue growing stronger, drawing ever closer to the real Mother River
