Extreme Path Nirvana Fruit

Yun Ming sat in the Sea God Pavilion, putting down the file in his hand.

"How long has Zhuo Shi been gone?"

Ya Li thought for a moment, "It's been a while. He should be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuo Shi pushed the door open and entered.

Yun Ming looked up, "Did he eat it?"

Zhuo Shi nodded, "He ate it."

"What was his reaction?"

Zhuo Shi thought for a moment, "No particular reaction, just sat there spacing out. I remember that thing has mild medicinal properties, it needs to be taken slowly."

Yun Ming nodded and didn't ask further.

Zhuo Shi sat down beside him and poured himself a cup of tea.

After taking a sip, he suddenly said, "But the Solid Essence Fruit doesn't look like the one drawn in the book."

Yun Ming's hand paused, "How is it different?"

Zhuo Shi recalled, "The Solid Essence Fruit drawn in the book is red and the size of an apple. The one given to Jing Heng was silvery-white and only thumb-sized. It's probably because the age wasn't enough."

Yun Ming put down what he was holding, "What did you say?"

Zhuo Shi was taken aback, "It was silvery-white, with a layer of fuzz on the skin, shimmering in the light. What's wrong?"

Woni Ma...

Yun Ming didn't answer.

He stood up and walked out quickly.

Zhuo Shi followed, "What exactly is wrong?"

Long Yeyue appeared at the end of the corridor at some point, leaning against the wall.

Seeing Yun Ming's expression, she suddenly spoke, "The Solid Essence Fruit is the same size from growth to wilting, and it's always red."

Zhuo Shi was stunned, "Impossible, I clearly took it from the storeroom--"

"Are you sure you took the Solid Essence Fruit?" Long Yeyue looked at him.

Zhuo Shi opened his mouth, "There was only one fruit in the storeroom, placed in that wooden box--"

Long Yeyue's expression changed.

She didn't speak further, turning and walking towards Yun Jingheng's room.

Yun Ming had already reached it before her.

The door was closed.

Yun Ming reached out to push the door, but it didn't budge.

His brows furrowed, and he applied more force, but it still didn't move.

He was a Limit Douluo; the force of this push was enough to shatter steel, but this thin wooden door didn't even shake.

He placed his hand on the door and probed with his soul power.

Then his expression changed.

There was something on the door.

Not a lock, not a mechanism, but a thin layer of light.

Silvery-white, like moonlight.

It covered the entire door, the entire room, and the child inside.

As soon as Yun Ming's soul power touched the light, it was gently repelled.

It wasn't an attack, but a refusal, just like the first time he investigated Yun Jingheng's martial soul, when that moon trembled slightly and pushed him away.

Exactly the same.

Yun Ming withdrew his hand and stood at the door, silent for a long time.

Long Yeyue walked over and reached out to try.

Her soul power was also repelled.

Zhuo Shi tried too, with the same result.

Cai Yue'er arrived and tried, but still couldn't get in.

Two Limit Douluos, two Super Douluos, stood at the door of a nine-year-old child's room, and none of them could get in.

Ya Li was the last to arrive.

She didn't try, just looked at the door, at that faint, almost invisible silver light.

Then she turned to look at Zhuo Shi.

"What exactly did you give him to eat?"

Zhuo Shi's expression was grim.

"I don't know, there was only that one silver-white fruit in the storeroom, inside that small wooden box. I thought it was a Solid Essence Fruit—"

"Solid Essence Fruits don't glow."

Long Yeyue interrupted him, "Have you ever seen a Solid Essence Fruit glow?"

Zhuo Shi remained silent.

He had seen it.

When the fruit was in the box, it was indeed glowing.

Very faintly, so faintly it was almost invisible. He had thought it was the natural luster of the Solid Essence Fruit itself.

But it wasn't. Solid Essence Fruits didn't glow, never.

Yun Ming stood at the doorway, gazing at the door.

That layer of light was thin, as thin as a veil.

He turned, "Seal Sea God Island. No one is allowed in or out."

Long Yeyue looked at him. "To what extent?"

Yun Ming paused. "Until I open this door."

In Eastsea City, at Eastsea Academy, in the outermost room of the Zero Class dormitory.

Inside the room, a girl sitting on a chair facing the window, with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Her black hair slowly faded.

She turned around, now with silver hair and purple eyes.

Gu Yue, or rather, Gu Yuena.

In the corner, a shadow materialized.

"My Lady, I succeeded."

"Oh? That smoothly?" Her lips curved into a smile.

Di Tian lowered his head. "No one noticed. That child has already consumed it and is now in deep meditation."

"What about Shrek?" she asked.

"Yun Ming has already ordered Sea God Island sealed."

Di Tian paused. "But I suspect he has already guessed something."

Gu Yuena nodded. "So what if he guessed? He can't find evidence, nor can he enter that door. He can only wait."

With the medicinal power of the Extreme Path Nirvana Fruit, guided by the moon, it was enough for him to undergo a complete transformation.

"Wait until he wakes up."

She said softly, "It will be very interesting."

That night, the moon changed.

Not gradually, but in an instant—a full moon like a silver plate hung in the sky. The moonlight was several times brighter than usual, not like moonlight at all, but more like a lamp.

The moonlight didn't scatter but condensed into beams of silver-white light that fell straight from the sky, landing on Sea God Island, on the child's room, and on that tightly shut door.

The entire Shrek City saw it.

Some stood on the streets looking up, some opened their windows to watch, some climbed onto their rooftops.

No one knew what had happened, but everyone knew something was wrong.

The next day, the moon hadn't changed.

It was still a full moon, still so bright, still casting all its light onto Sea God Island.

The third day, it hadn't changed.

The fourth day, it still hadn't changed.

A month passed.

The moon was still full.

Qiangu Dongfeng stood atop the Spirit Pagoda, gazing at the unwaning moon in the sky, silent for a long time.

"Investigate."

He said to the person behind him, "See what exactly happened on Sea God Island."

They couldn't find out.

Shrek City was under martial law, and Sea God Island's defenses had doubled. Three cordons of security tightly encircled the entire island.

Yun Ming had personally issued the order: no one was allowed in or out.

Everyone who tried to inquire hit a wall. The people of Shrek said nothing, not because they didn't want to, but because they genuinely didn't know.

Cai Yue'er stood at the edge of Sea God Island, gazing at the moonlight.

She had been watching for thirty days.

The moonlight fell upon that child's room, then vanished, as if swallowed by something.

She tried to approach, but with every step, the oppressive feeling intensified.

It wasn't someone stopping her; the moonlight itself was rejecting her.

She stood outside the cordon, not venturing further.

Two months.

Three months.

Half a year.

The moon never changed.

Discussions on the continent shifted from clamor to calm, but the eyes fixed on Sea God Island did not diminish.

Major powers were all waiting, waiting to know what exactly had happened.

Spirit Pagoda, Tang Sect, War God Hall, Star Luo Empire, great clans, all gazes were focused on Shrek City, focused on Sea God Island.

But they could find nothing.

Every day, several Title Douluo, their martial souls activated, would float above Shrek's Sea God Island.

At night, it was Limit Douluo, Super Douluo.

No one dared to approach Shrek Academy at such a critical juncture.

Yun Ming would stand before that door every day, for a while.

The door hadn't changed, the light hadn't changed, the aura within hadn't changed.

He couldn't sense anything; the moonlight still fell, indicating he was still alive.

Ya Li would sometimes stand with him for a while, sometimes not.

She didn't come as often, not because she didn't want to, but because it was useless even if she did.

She simply cooked more food each day, and if it wasn't eaten, she cooked again.

The child would be hungry when he woke up.

The ninth month.

The moonlight began to fade.

Not weaken, but lessen.

The pillar of light falling on Sea God Island slowly narrowed, from the thickness of a bucket, to the thickness of an arm, then to the thickness of a finger.

The moon also began to change, slowly waning from a full moon, bit by bit, as if someone were pinching it flat.

The eleventh month.

The moon returned to normal, but every night, a thin beam of moonlight still fell upon that window.

Very thin, like a silver thread, hanging down from the sky.

The eleventh month and twentieth day.

The moonlight broke.

Not gradually, but in an instant—that silver thread snapped, the moonlight scattered, filling the entire Sea God Lake.

Everything returned to normal.

The moon was round when it should be round, and crescent when it should be crescent, just like before.

Then, that door opened.
