Chapter 2223 - 2223 Path fruit
2223 Path fruit
This innate skill had unlimited potential and one day, its prestige would resound throughout the universe!
The Embryonic Gaze locked onto the mutated water beast and then took it one step further, locking onto the Heavenly Emperor’s resurrection data inside it.
After all, he was more familiar with the Heavenly Emperor, and he had relatively greater confidence in dealing with her.
In addition, from the Heavenly Emperor’s messages just now, he could infer that while the Heavenly Emperor could somewhat sense what was happening to the resurrection information, she wasn’t really affected by it.
Of course, the message may also be a smoke screen to confuse him, so in the end, it was all up to him.
However, the reply that Song Shuhang had given to the Heavenly Emperor was pretty vague. There was no useful information in that reply.
The Embryonic Gaze worked quickly.
A series of scale-like patterns appeared on the body of the mutated water beast, and a flower bud sprouted on its belly.
As the bud bloomed, the Heavenly Emperor’s resurrection information in the mutated water beast’s body was plundered and pulled away.
“Success.” Song Shuhang temporarily closed his right eye, letting his right eye take a short rest.
After successfully extracting the Heavenly Emperor’s resurrection information, the next step was to extract the one belonging to the Venerable Emperor.
Song Shuhang did not dare to extract their resurrection information at the same time for fear of giving rise to a clash that could cause an unforeseen incident when the flower bore fruit.

On the other side of the black lake, the fake Fairy Yuanyuan was staring at the mutated water beast and the flower on its belly. She wanted to move, but she dared not to. In front of her, there was a sentient flying sword, happily swimming around in the air like a fish.
The flying sword’s pattern was erratic, but its sharp sword intent was steadily locked onto her.
This flying sword was Senior White’s Meteor Sword.
As long as the fake Fairy Yuanyuan dared to do anything, this divine weapon that had already gained intelligence would mercilessly cut her down.
At first, the fake Fairy Yuanyuan dared not move because of the threat of the flying sword, but eventually, she could not move even if she wanted to.
When Meteor Sword was flying around in circles, it had covertly set up a formation around her. Now, she was bound in place so tightly that she could not even move a finger.
The fake Fairy Yuanyuan fell into a panic.
It was a kind of skill that she had never come across. She had not been able to see when and how the formation had been set up at all.
Unknowingly, she became a fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at any time.
She quietly glanced at the Song Shuhang close to her and at the one in the distance, wondering how these two Fellow Daoist Song would deal with her when the time came.
❄️❄️❄️
On the belly of the mutated water beast, the flower of the Embryonic Gaze finally bloomed.
It then withered and bore a pearl-shaped fruit.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, catching the fruit containing the Heavenly Emperor’s resurrection information.
The pearl was warm in his hand, and there was a faint aura similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor emanating from it.
Song Shuhang commented, “It looks like a large Imperial Pearl.”
Speaking of the Imperial Pearl, he remembered that before, every time he touched one, the Imperial Pearl would crack and shatter. For this reason, he was almost beaten up several times.
The black-skinned Soft Feather emerged from his shadow, looked at the pearl, and said, “Senior Song, this fruit is giving me a sense of familiarity.”
“Familiarity?” Song Shuhang guessed after a little thought, “Maybe it’s because it has a connection with the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor and Soft Feather’s ghost spirit are temporarily in one body, so that might be the reason.”
The black-skinned Soft Feather nodded.
“If we want to verify whether there is a connection between this fruit and the Heavenly Emperor, we can do a small experiment.” After Song Shuhang said that, his right hand stroked the fruit slightly.
An instance of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ was applied to the fruit.
“We just need to wait and see whether the effect of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ will be pa.s.sed on to the Heavenly Emperor. From that, we can easily deduce the answer,” Song Shuhang said. “Now, let’s see if the Heavenly Emperor will contact me again. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the big pearl in his hand shattered with a pop.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Pavilion Master Chu: “…”
The black-skinned Soft Feather reminded him, “Senior Song, the pearl broke.”
Song Shuhang looked up at the sky. “I can see that, Soft Feather.”
After the large Imperial Pearl was broken, a fruit covered in patterns was left in his hand.
The Embryonic Gaze produced different treasures each time.
Senior White looked at the fruit and commented, “It looks edible.”
Sister White Dragon said, “It smells good too.”
Pavilion Master Chu said, “There seems to be a ‘path’ hidden in this fruit.”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Then we can call it path fruit. It is a fruit condensed from the resurrection information of the Heavenly Emperor, so it may contain her secrets.”
“Does this fruit count as a single child?” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s thoughts were always unpredictable.
Skylark shook his head and said, “It does not.”
“It would be great if I could open my Inner World right now.” Song Shuhang looked at the fruit. If he could access his Inner World right now, as long as the lotus roots came and inserted themselves into the fruit, the path of the Heavenly Emperor could be extracted from it and merge with the Inner World.
The black-skinned Soft Feather reminded him, “Senior Song, the fruit seems to be disappearing.”
Song Shuhang took a look, and sure enough, the patterned fruit on his palm was gradually melting.
“Shuhang, how about you appraise it and then eat it?” said Senior White.
“I’ll try that.” Song Shuhang activated the secret appraisal technique.
Drawing from his previous experiences, he switched to his smoke mode before using the secret appraisal technique.
The results of the appraisal were quickly transmitted to his mind.
[Mysterious Path Fruit: This fruit may be too hot and is evaporating. Why don’t you cut it open and eat it?]
Song Shuhang: “…”
He opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit.
Senior White asked expectantly, “Is it delicious?”
Song Shuhang thought about it and said, “It does taste quite good.”
“Then, can you use the Embryonic Gaze on the mutated water beast again?” Senior White pointed at the water beast. The water beast still had the Venerable Emperor’s resurrection information, so it could theoretically produce another fruit.
“I was already planning on doing that!” Song Shuhang turned around, his right eye lit up, and he released another Embryonic Gaze at the mutated water beast.
But this time, no new patterns appeared on the body of the mutated water beast.
Instead, the inflated belly of the water beast exploded like an over-inflated balloon.
The power of the explosion set off a large wave in the lake.
The body of the mutated water beast was blown into more than ten different parts and scattered across the lake.
“Is it dead?” Song Shuhang was taken aback.
Could it be that after two instances of the Embryonic Gaze were used consecutively, the hidden skill “autodestruction” would be activated?
“Plop~ Plop~” More than a dozen pieces of the mutated water beast’s corpse fell into the black lake.
Afterward, every piece of the water beast’s corpse began to change. Soon, there were a dozen mutated water beasts that were all smaller than the original.
“Does this thing reproduce by division?” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber was distressed.
With this type of reproduction, how many babies would there be?
Song Shuhang laughed and said, “Ten babies in one go? Anyway, you all lost.”
Smiling and laughing, he landed back on sh.o.r.e.
The path fruit that he had eaten began to take effect.
Slowly, its side effects were emerging.
The main reason for this was that the instructions clearly suggested that the path fruit should be cut open before it was consumed, but Song Shuhang had swallowed the fruit whole, so the side effects would inevitably be worse.
