Zhang Ze always felt this matter was quite absurd. He wasn’t sure if it was because his perspective had broadened or if these Four Continents were truly undergoing so-called upheavals. Anyway, things that were previously invisible, hidden, or secretive were starting to surface. Originally a secret of the Hundred Demons Sect, the Stone Pill now filled a warehouse at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, and there was another entire warehouse of it behind the Sword Pavilion. Those primordial Exotic Beasts, once unseen, were now everywhere. Not only in the realms of Cyan Thorn and the Beast Taming Sect, but sightings were also being reported around Dragon Tiger Mountain and the East Sea, causing numerous troubles. Even the once-mysterious Innate Tao Embryo had become so commonplace, like street dogs, devoid of any mystery. Regarding this issue, Zhang Ze thought it might be due to a change in the times, as the world stood on the brink of a historical fracture, ready to tumble into a new era. Otherwise, it couldn’t possibly be his fault. Absolutely impossible! Beside the reed marsh. Zhang Ze rubbed the stone slab in his hand, yet the inscription that Liu Haiwu spoke of did not appear on it. Probably, the last trace of divinity within the slab had flowed into Liu Haiwu’s body. However, due to the Innate Tao Pill within Zhang Ze, he could be completely certain this object was a fragment of an Innate Tao Embryo. Thus, feeling he had made another merit, Zhang Ze quickly brought this thing to Old Ascender for appraisal. But Tang and the Sect Leader found nothing unusual about it. It seemed that besides Zhang Ze and Xiaoxuan, everyone else saw it as nothing more than a regular-shaped slab. Yes, Xiaoxuan could see it too. The reason Xiaoxuan could perceive it was related to her own abilities. After leaving from the Sect Leader, Zhang Ze detoured to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion to grab some equipment before returning to the pier. On his way, he spotted Xiaoxuan walking a Jade Spirit Earth Immortal down the street. There was no helping it; though this little thing lacked strength, it was too troublesome, too silly. And due to transforming into a stone doll, the effectiveness of the Virtuous Correction Fist had greatly diminished. To prevent mischief, Xiaoxuan had no choice but to leash it with a dog leash, which Lily had given her. Back then, Zhang Ze was carrying the stone slab openly, while Xiaoxuan was bringing the Earth Immortal from the south. After greeting each other, both were stunned. This was the first meeting between Zhang Ze and Xiaoxuan since Zhang Ze had returned from the Celestial Sect. Xiaoxuan was astonished because her Sea of Stone intelligence network had suddenly activated, sensing the slab’s anomaly, and had involuntarily linked with Zhang Ze’s Innate Tao Pill. Zhang Ze was stunned because he also sensed something from Xiaoxuan; in his eyes, Xiaoxuan was also a fragment of an Innate Tao Embryo... The situation suddenly became somewhat absurd. So Zhang Ze was in no hurry to leave but pulled Xiaoxuan over to find Big Head and the others. Unsurprisingly, it was the same for them too... Watching the Big Heads become wise, Zhang Ze thought of another matter. Thıs content belongs to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Which was whether Stone Pill was also related to the Innate Tao Embryo? Logically, after hatching out Li, the Stone Pill should have exited the story stage like a Foundation Establishment Pill Zhang Ze had never actually consumed, becoming an unmentioned, easily forgotten plot point. But things didn’t seem to be working that way. Zhang Ze, along with Xiaoxuan and the Big Heads, went to the storeroom of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion. Unsurprisingly, under Zhang Ze’s perception, those Stone Pills were also related to the Innate Tao Embryo. They were similar fragment-like items. The story seemed to have gone full circle back to its origin. Looking at the warehouse full of Stone Pills, Zhang Ze took another object from deep within the Hundred Treasures Bag. During last year’s explosion at Spiritual Snake Helm, he had blasted a Spiritual Snake statue, and he still kept one of its fragments as a collection. He planned to brag about it with his disciples after achieving great success and becoming a sect master. When he took it out, Zhang Ze discovered this thing was also a fragment of an Innate Tao Embryo. Zhang Ze had no particular thoughts, only felt slightly speechless. In fact, this should have been anticipated, as the Stone Pill and the indestructible nature of Xiaoxuan indeed bore similarities to the Innate Tao Embryo. After somewhat calming the odd feeling, Zhang Ze laid these items out simply in a list. His Innate Tao Pill, Xiaoxuan, the Big Heads, Liu Haiwu’s slab, the fragments of the Spiritual Snake statue, the Stone Pills. Ranked from high to low, the sensations grew weaker towards the end. Much like Spirit Stones with their Spiritual Qi gradually drying up. Curiously, though, the Stone Pill, most closely linked with the Innate Tao Embryo, paradoxically had the weakest aura... "I told you, we’re important, and you still don’t believe it," Li, sprawling on Zhang Ze’s head, dictated with grandeur. It had just arrived with no special reason other than simply missing the feeling of riding on Zhang Ze. Upon hearing Zhang Ze was going out, it hurriedly followed along. "Alright, then the question is, what’s your connection with the Innate Tao Embryo?" Zhang Ze asked. "How would I know," Li moved from Zhang Ze’s head to his shoulder. As Zhang Ze chatted idly with Li, mulling over the interconnected matters, someone walked up from behind. Xiaoxuan, with the Jade Spirit Earth Immortal, pushed through the reed marsh to approach. She was now wearing a layer of disguise; a white jade bracelet emitted a faint white light, making her appear, to most, as just an ordinary girl rather than a moving statue. The Jade Spirit Earth Immortal remained as noisy as ever, hopping along the shoreline, imagining itself as the king of the sea, waving a segment of reed as it splashed the water’s surface.
