Mushroom Man

Chapter 128 Disorder and Order, Rules and Regulations (Please Subscribe)
"Demon, light, shines everywhere!"

Abbot Shanren clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with murderous intent that seemed ready to burst forth.

Facing the onslaught of the crowd, he showed no fear, but instead spoke sternly, enunciating each word clearly.

At this moment, although Abbot Shanren was still within the range of the golden hoop, he could still use his methods at will.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demonic Light Unleashed.

The so-called "magical light shining everywhere" is actually the "Buddha's light shining everywhere" infused with blood fungus.

One is upright and honorable, the other is filthy and disgusting.

In an instant, blood filled the sky, and the entire arena was shrouded in crimson.

Everything that comes into contact with the blood-red light collapses on the spot and turns into blood.

The methods employed by the mushroom masters were utterly ineffective against the abbot.

Abbot Shanren, whose true energy is abundant, is truly terrifyingly powerful!
For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

However, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Abbot Shanren.

Today, the nine-story bronze pagoda continues to disintegrate and crumble inch by inch.

Currently, more than half of the tower is severely tilted and it will soon collapse completely and sink into the ground.

However, Abbot Shanren was trapped by the golden headband and was powerless to do anything about it, so he could only stare anxiously.

Clearly, thanks to Wu Liang's meddling, Wen Shitai's side not only suffered heavy casualties, but also unexpectedly succeeded in holding off the abbot.

Next, all we need to do is desperately stall the abbot until the legacy is destroyed, then everything will be over.

"Damn..."

At the same moment, Wuxiang's will was just as anxious as the abbot's.

Seeing that Wu Liang and the others had actually managed to hold back Abbot Shanren, Wu Xiang was both surprised and furious.

The next moment, Wu Liang, who was observing the situation on the field, suddenly had a change in his eyes.

Suddenly, the Wuxiang Token in his arms trembled, and then the voice of the Wuxiang Will came out.

"Young friend Wu, you're confused!"

"By helping them stop Abbot Shanren, aren't you cutting off your own path to survival?"

Wu Xiang's will was filled with disappointment and frustration, his tone carrying a hint of resentment.

“If that nun wins, the Buddhist community will settle scores afterward, and you will definitely not escape death.”

"Your only chance to survive is to inherit the Wuxiang lineage."

"But if you want to inherit the Formless Legacy, you must go to the Ninth Level."

"Now that the eighth level of the test has been destroyed, we can only force open the bronze door of the ninth level."

“Right now, that Master Wen wishes she could destroy this place, so how could she possibly open the bronze door on the ninth floor?”

"Only Abbot Shanren can help you open the bronze door!"

"Although he wants to possess you, you have that porcelain bottle. With my help, you might just be able to turn death into life!"

The more Wuxiang Will spoke, the more agitated he became, to the point of almost stamping his feet in frustration, completely lacking the composure expected of a Venerable Will.

"Young friend Wu, how are you going to clean up this mess now?"

"Without Abbot Shanren, how can we open the bronze door and inherit the Wuxiang lineage?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang remained noncommittal, then smiled faintly: "It's simple, I'll just open this bronze door, won't I?"

"You?" The Will of No Form was filled with doubt and uncertainty, not knowing what nonsense Wu Liang was spouting.

How could a mere second-level mushroom master possibly have the means to forcibly break open the bronze door?

Wu Liang smiled without saying a word, then turned and took out the square-bodied, round-mouthed porcelain bottle.

"Senior Wuxiang, do you know?"

"Actually, I woke up a while ago..."

"I've just been wondering what this porcelain vase is that Senior Wuxiang cares about so much, yet he's been reluctant to tell me what its purpose is."

As he said this, he shook the porcelain bottle himself.

Seeing this, Wu Xiang's will was pounding with fear, lest Wu Liang accidentally smash the porcelain bottle to pieces.

"I've thought about it carefully..."

"Senior Wuxiang's goal from beginning to end has always been to have us step into the ninth level and inherit the so-called Wuxiang legacy."

"However, this is quite different from what Senior Wuxiang did in the fourth level of the River of Forgetfulness."

"Senior Wuxiang clearly wanted us to reach the ninth level as soon as possible, but at the River of Oblivion, he used words and bribes to try to get us to retrieve this porcelain bottle."

"It is conceivable that this porcelain bottle must have a great function."

Wu Liang played with the porcelain bottle and slowly revealed his speculation.

“From that time on, I have paid extra attention to this thing, and even risked exposing the fairy mushroom in order to protect it.”

"It is precisely because I believe that this object is definitely not a simple, ordinary item."

"as expected……"

"After some thought, I have actually learned a little about this thing."

Upon hearing this, the Will of No Form spoke without hesitation.

"impossible!"

"Young friend Wu, don't let your imagination run wild. How could you possibly know what this thing is..."

Wu Liang smiled upon hearing this and said, "Is this thing really that hard to guess?"

"Since we know this thing is not simple, then it can only be one of those few things: mushroom materials and mushroom recipes."

"If it were mushrooms, there would be no need to go to such lengths to store them in a porcelain bottle."

"Moreover, I have the Immortal Mushroom by my side. If it were a fungus inside, it would have been stimulated by the Immortal Mushroom's aura long ago, and I would have noticed the abnormality."

“If it were a medicinal herb, Senior Wuxiang wouldn’t have said that with this porcelain bottle, I could be saved from death.” “After all, even if it were a magical herb, it wouldn’t be that important in the current situation.”

"So all that's left is the mushroom recipe and the killer move..."

"The same principle applies to mushroom cultivation materials; neither can have a direct impact on the current situation."

"Even if it's the Immortal Mushroom Formula, there's no reason why Senior Wuxiang would specifically ask us to retrieve it at that time."

At this point, Wu Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly said, "Then the only remaining possibility is a killing move."

"If it were just a legacy containing a killing move, like the impermanent human face, there's no reason why Senior Wuxiang would care so much about it."

"Therefore, I boldly speculate that this so-called porcelain bottle may very well contain a ready-made killing move..."

As soon as he finished speaking, waves of emotion surged within the Will of No Form.

The Will of No Form truly hadn't expected this child to be so intelligent.

Without revealing any information, he guessed some details about the porcelain vase based solely on analysis and speculation.

At the same time, Wu Liang continued to speak to himself, sharing his speculations with the Will of Nothingness.

"Now that it's confirmed, this item most likely carries a deadly weapon."

"Then all I need to do is find a matching killing move in the legends of the Formless Celestial Venerable."

"After all, this is the inheritance of the Formless One. If any killing move is used, it can only be the killing move of the Formless Celestial Venerable."

"Unless this junior's speculation is wrong, this item is merely one of the spoils of war of the Formless Celestial Venerable, which was haphazardly stuffed here."

"However, this is a low-probability event and can be completely ignored."

As Wu Liang spoke, he looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand.

"As everyone knows, the Formless Celestial Venerable is particularly skilled in the Dao of Transformation and the Dao of Law."

"One symbolizes disorder, and the other symbolizes order."

"The Celestial Venerable Wuxiang is the master of the Dao of Transformation and has made the greatest contributions to the Dao of Transformation."

"His signature move is that human faces are ever-changing, human hearts are unpredictable, and human reason is ever-shifting."

"However, none of the above seem to have much to do with this porcelain vase."

"Then only that remains is the Law of the Formless Celestial Venerable, which is most easily overlooked..."

Wu Liang's voice softened, revealing his composure and confidence.

Seeing his appearance, the Formless Will couldn't help but sigh.

It seems this young man has actually guessed what's in the bottle.

He was unwilling to waste any more time listening to Wu Liang's long-winded explanation, so he simply got straight to the point and revealed the essence of the object.

"Young friend Wu, you truly deserve to be the successor I have chosen."

"That's right, what's in the bottle is the Lawful Dao Killing Move of the Formless Celestial Venerable... Rules and Regulations."

Rules and regulations!

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Wu Liang's eyes.

To be honest, he only had a guess and couldn't be completely sure what it was.

The reason for guessing it was a killing move was entirely because of Wuxiang's words just now: "This item can help him, allowing him to live from the brink of death."

Therefore, Wu Liang boldly guessed that what was inside was either some kind of mushroom or some kind of deadly move.

With a little elimination, it's not hard to guess that it's a killer move.

However, beings like the Formless Celestial Venerable have countless killing moves, perhaps even more than the salt he has eaten in his entire life.

The guess that it was a killing move by the Law Path was just a casual remark he made to try and bluff the Will of No Form.

After all, even if he makes the wrong bet, he won't lose anything, and he can even use it to determine whether it's the Path of Change or the Path of Law.

Even if he determined which school of martial arts it was, Wu Liang still couldn't guess what kind of killing move it was.

Now that Wu Xiang has taken the initiative to admit it, it has saved him a lot of time.

"Rules and regulations..."

"If I remember correctly, the legendary killing move was created by the Formless Celestial Venerable, imitating the legendary Ruler Two Mushrooms."

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

The so-called "rules of mushrooms" were recorded in the "Biography of Mushroom People".

It is said to be related to the fourth Venerable One in the world, Taiping Tianzun.

Unfortunately, he hadn't seen that place yet, so he didn't know the specifics of the events, only that the Second Ruler of the Mushrooms probably possessed great power.

It is said that the Ruler Mushroom possesses the power to gather all the mushrooms in the world; as long as a person subdues the Ruler, there is no mushroom that cannot be caught.

However, the two rules only exist in legends, and even the Formless Celestial Venerable could not subdue them.

The rules and regulations he created were originally intended to emulate the great power of the two rules and regulations, and to gather all the mushrooms in the world.

However, it lacked the most crucial rule, the second rule.

Thus, it became a dubious and poorly executed imitation.

"Friend Wu..."

There are three compass lines in this bottle.

"Simply wipe the bottle three times to release the standard ink."

“Every rule and regulation can be used to forcibly extract a mushroom from someone else that you want.”

"If used properly, this could be a heaven-defying object that could turn the tide and bring about a miraculous rebirth from the brink of death."

"However, this item is used only once and only once. I originally intended to tell you about it after you reached the ninth floor, so that you would not misuse it."

"Since you've guessed most of it, I won't hide it from you anymore..."
