Chapter 940: The Prototype of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit

A prototype of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit? Does that mean it can influence emotions?

Lu Yang looked at Xue Shilou next door, who was writhing on the ground like a maggot, with an expression of blissful enjoyment. He found the sight peculiar. He wondered what expression Xue Shilou would have after waking up. He probably wouldn't want to live anymore, right?

"Since you can't endure pain, then accept it, enjoy it.""Fellow Daoist Xue is truly remarkable to have comprehended such a state of mind amidst hardship.""He's a role model for us all."

Seeing Xue Shilou, the prisoners all thought his state of mind was extraordinary and that he was destined for greatness.

"Yes, the prototype of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit can make people happy, angry, afraid, and so on. In ancient times, several people condensed this prototype. I remember there was someone called 'Blissful Sovereign' who was the most exuberant. He could freely change others' emotions. For example, if he hit someone, that person wouldn't get angry; instead, they'd be extremely happy."

"For instance, he could make anyone, regardless of gender, fall in love with him."

"He could also eliminate his own fear, allowing him to face any danger or peril with composure."

"Furthermore, he could make an opponent fall into sadness, losing the will to fight, or into a fit of rage, losing their mind. Its uses were very diverse."

"What happened to him later?"

"Later, he fought with the Ninefold Immortal. Both were Semi-Immortals at the time, their levels were similar, so it was hard to determine a victor."

"The Blissful Sovereign made the Ninefold Immortal fall into an inescapable state of sadness."

"As you know, sadness is often linked to anger. After falling into sadness, the Ninefold Immortal quickly became enraged, veins bulging, eyes bloodshot. In an outburst of emotion, he shouted twice, his power surged, and he killed the Blissful Sovereign."

"Oh, and the one who formed the Harem Golden Core also had a prototype of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit. According to him, he comprehended 'love' from his harem, and from that, he grasped the 'Seven Emotions'."

"With the prototype of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit, even more female cultivators were attracted to him."

"You know what happened to him, right? The female cultivators who loved him were so utterly devoted that they couldn't bear to be separated from him. So, they dismembered him, ensuring everyone got a piece."

"I even glimpsed the scene from afar back then. All the female cultivators were holding a part of his body, covered in blood, with eerie, deranged smiles on their faces. It was quite terrifying."

Lu Yang shivered. Such a scene was indeed terrifying. Fortunately, he wouldn't encounter anything like that. As Lu Yang thought this, he casually picked up a spiritual fruit from a fruit basket and began to eat it.

"It tastes good. I'll buy ten catties for Senior Sister to try later."

Lu Yang was eating an unfamiliar white spiritual fruit that tasted surprisingly delicious.

"You call this 'tastes good'? Wait until I cultivate a new Immortal Fruit of Immortality for you to try someday. *That's* what you call delicious." The Immortal Fairy scoffed at Lu Yang's lack of discernment.

"...If my memory serves me right, wasn't the Immortal Fruit of Immortality supposed to prevent corpses from decaying?" Lu Yang always had the feeling that the Immortal Fruit of Immortality was meant for the dead.

"Its effect is one thing, its taste is another; they are two separate matters." The Immortal Fruit of Immortality was a fruit carefully cultivated by the Immortal Fairy. Regardless of its effect, its taste was naturally top-notch. "Just enjoy the good life with me. In ancient times, only Immortals and a few others like Xiao Ling would have been able to eat this."

Lu Yang didn't answer, mainly because he wasn't sure if he was enjoying a peaceful life or enduring a harsh one.

Realist Chasing Moon, seeing that no one had noticed him, settled down to cultivate with a clear conscience. The most crucial aspect of improving the prototype of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit was to observe the myriad aspects of life and comprehend the emotions of the mortal world. This Hall of Sinners was filled with emotions of anger, sorrow, fear, and malice, making it perfect for cultivation. Of course, there was also joy.

Realist Chasing Moon opened his right eye and glanced at Lu Yang to his right. The feeling of joy was right there.

"Senior Brother Lu Yang, are you alright?"

Lu Yang heard someone else visiting him. He turned, putting on a professional smile: "I'm fine... Junior Sister Tao?!"

Lu Yang looked as if he had seen a ghost. How could Junior Sister Tao be here?

"It's me," Tao Yaoye said with a sweet smile, carrying a package. "It's been a while, Senior Brother. You've grown so small," Tao Yaoye said, squatting down to talk to Lu Yang through the bars. Her joy seemed to radiate even through the barrier.

"Junior Sister, why are you at the Immortal Palace?" Lu Yang forced a smile. He was afraid Tao Yaoye would spread the news of him becoming small. Although everyone in the Hall of Sinners knew he had shrunk, they couldn't leave anytime soon, so there was no rush. Junior Sister Tao was different; she might just snap a photo of him and spread it in a dream bubble.

"I heard Senior Brother was visiting the Immortal Palace, and I've long yearned to see it, so I took this opportunity to look around."

"I just didn't expect something to happen to you, Senior Brother." Tao Yaoye looked at Lu Yang, trying hard to suppress the urge to pat his small head. She saw through Lu Yang's worries and voluntarily said, "But don't worry, Senior Brother, I won't tell anyone about you becoming small."

"Thank you then, Junior Sister Tao." Lu Yang sighed in relief. Junior Sister Tao was reliable after all.

Realist Chasing Moon secretly observed Lu Yang's emotional changes: "Quite the emotional rollercoaster."

"Senior Brother, why do you have so many fruit baskets here? Can you possibly eat them all?" Tao Yaoye asked, looking surprised at the floor covered in fruit baskets around Lu Yang.

Lu Yang gave a wry smile. How could he possibly finish them all?

"If Senior Brother can't finish them, they're just taking up space here. How about I take some with me? They can serve as greeting gifts for our fellow senior and junior brothers when I return to the sect."

"Then I'll trouble you, Junior Sister."

Tao Yaoye smiled as she took one fruit basket after another. "Your matters are my matters, no trouble at all." She opened her package, revealing a four-tiered lunchbox. "Oh, by the way, Senior Brother, I've been practicing my cooking recently and made some extra dishes. I'm not sure if they suit your taste, but if you don't mind, you could try some."

"Junior Sister Tao's cooking must be a delicacy," Lu Yang said with a smile, thinking to himself that he finally wouldn't have to eat spiritual fruits like sunflower seeds.

The two chatted for a while before Tao Yaoye took her leave. "I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come to see you again tomorrow, Senior Brother."

"Travel safely, Junior Sister," Lu Yang said, waving goodbye.

Even Lu Yang didn't notice that Tao Yaoye had a recording orb hidden in her sleeve, capturing his childlike appearance.

Tao Yaoye's cooking skills were indeed excellent, comparable even to a Spirit Chef at the Soul Transformation stage. The dishes were exquisitely prepared and well-balanced, made entirely from rare ingredients, proving very beneficial for cultivation.

As Lu Yang ate, he pondered a question. "I've been in the Immortal Palace for several days now. Why is Junior Sister Tao only just arriving? Does it take this long to travel from the Dao Inquiry Sect to the Immortal Palace?" Or did Junior Sister Tao just hear about it from Man Gu?

Tao Yaoye walked out of the Hall of Sinners, raised her right hand to shield her eyes from the dazzling sunlight, and looked towards the person waiting for her at the entrance. "I really didn't expect you, Junior Sister Lan, to proactively contact me and tell me about Senior Brother Lu's situation."
