Mushroom Man

Chapter 181 True Martial Arts Subdues Demons, Innate Dao Body

Mushroom House and Magpie's Nest.

Wu Liang had no idea whether Fairy Mushroom House could actually do that.

But it seems unlikely, and even if it were possible, there would probably be significant limitations.

After all, if one could use a fairy mushroom house to endlessly usurp others' lives and plunder their lifespans...

To some extent, while this cannot be called immortality, it can be considered within the category of longevity.

If immortality were truly that simple, how could the Formless Celestial Venerable, who created the Magpie's Nest, have died?
Wu Liang shook his head.

But no matter what...

Although the magpie's nest cannot prolong life, there is still some hope of taking over another's dantian and replacing the dead land inside the zombie's body.

However, now that the magpie's nest has been destroyed, even if Wu Liang came up with this idea, it seems impossible to implement it.

unless……

He disregarded everything and continued to digest the fragments of Blood River Ancestor's memories until he obtained the recipe for the mushroom house in the Magpie's Nest from those memories.

With the mushroom house method, recreating the magpie's nest is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Bone Master thoughtfully.

"Senior Bone, you said..."

"If I had a method that allowed me to regain my dantian by possessing another person's body, would you give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Master Bone's spirits lifted, and a chilling glint flashed in his eyes!

"what?!"

"Your Excellency has such methods?"

"I have never heard of any method of possession and rebirth in this world. If there is such a method, it can only be a legendary immortal mushroom."

"If Your Excellency truly possesses such abilities, I would be willing to give it a try!"

As Master Gu said, there are very few mushrooms in the mushroom world that can possess other mushrooms.

Even if it exists, it can only be a legendary fairy mushroom.

After all, being reborn through possession is extraordinary in itself, so there are no ordinary mushrooms like the Possession Mushroom; there are only Possession Immortal Mushrooms.

This shows just how precious it is that the magpie's nest can grant a mushroom master, who is still a mortal, a means similar to possession.

"I do have this skill, or rather, my master, Zhuge Huowang, has this skill."

"Senior Bone, there's no need to worry. My master will reward those who have made contributions and will not mistreat the brothers of the Holy Cult."

"As long as Senior Bone contributes to the Holy Sect, I will put in a good word for him with my master, and granting him the method of possession is not a problem."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, proceeding with his elaborate scheme with practiced ease.

This time, the pie he painted hit the nail on the head.

Bone Master's breathing became rapid, and even the deathly aura around his body fluctuated.

"Very well, Your Excellency is truly my benefactor!"

"If I could possess a body, that girl would be the perfect candidate..."

Bone Master thought of Morobi, and a greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Senior Bone actually wants to possess Morobi's body?"

"Could it be that Senior Bone wishes to relinquish his male form and become a beautiful woman?"

Upon hearing this, Bone Immortal laughed heartily.

"Whether you are a man or a woman, it makes no difference to this old man."

"My ambition is to ascend to immortality and live forever. What does it matter whether my physical body is male or female?"

As expected of an old monster who has cultivated to the fifth level, he doesn't even care whether he is male or female.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, showing considerable admiration.

At the same time, he keenly perceived another layer of meaning in Bone Master's words.

"Does Senior Bone Immortal mean that if one can possess that Morobi's body, one can hope to ascend to immortality and live forever?"

Upon hearing this, Master Gu nodded without hesitation.

This really surprised Wu Liang.

Before he could ask any further questions, Master Gu lowered his voice and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, to be honest..."

"I suspect that Morobi is very likely to be the legendary innate Dao body!"

what?
A primordial Dao body?!
Upon hearing this, even Wu Liang couldn't help but tremble.

Once upon a time, Jian Shouqing had revealed to him that there existed in the world a talent far more heaven-defying than a first-grade dantian... an innate Dao body.

Under heaven, there are only nine innate Dao bodies, each originating from one of the nine Heavenly Venerables.

Only the descendants of the Nine Heavenly Venerables could possess such a heaven-defying physique.

Their innate Daoist body is perfect and flawless, and they are naturally compatible with a certain school of thought.

The true qi is flawless, surpassing even the best dantian in both quality and quantity, and the soil within the dantian is unimaginably fertile.

Calling them the pride of heaven and the darling of fortune is no exaggeration.

If a top-grade dantian is considered a kind of immortal seed, then the innate Dao body is a veritable immortal sprout!
Wu Liang's breathing quickened for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

He looked at Bone Master, then spoke in a deep voice: "Senior Bone, are you sure that Morobi is some kind of innate Dao body?"

Master Gu chuckled awkwardly, and said somewhat uncertainly, "Actually, I'm not so sure, I just have some doubts..."

"Previously, when I used my killing move, I left no trace of my body, and shot out a piece of ashes."

“Logically speaking, Morobi should have been reduced to ashes after being hit by the Ash Bone, but nothing happened to her.”

"At first, I thought that girl used some kind of healing mushroom to forcibly counteract the death energy brought by the gray bones." "But after thinking about it carefully, I found that it might not be that simple."

"After all, healing mushrooms alone are not enough to stop my killing move."

As Bone Master spoke, he recalled the past.

He stretched out his palm and forced a bone out of his body.

"My skeleton can control its own bones, and can sense them whether they are detached from the body or not."

"When that piece of ash hit Morobi, I vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some kind of Dao mark on this woman."

"And the number of Dao traces is probably not small..."

"My move, 'No Corpse Remains,' is quite unique. The more Dao marks a person has on their body, the worse the effect it has."

"That is why I suspect that this woman may possess an innate Dao body with a large number of Dao traces."

"After all, even a regular mushroom master, or a fifth-level strength mushroom master, might not have two or three Dao marks on their body even after a lifetime of modifying their body."

"And that Morobi, who was able to avoid the effect of being reduced to ashes, must have a far greater number of Dao traces than that!"

Dao traces...

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang seemed to be deep in thought.

To be honest, he didn't know much about Dao traces.

After all, this is something that ordinary mushroom growers cannot come into contact with or understand.

All he knew was that Dao traces could be called fragments of the Great Dao to some extent.

Everything in the world, whether it be humans or fungi, has traces of the Dao; the only difference is the quantity and whether they are complete.

An ordinary person might only have one or two traces of the Dao in their entire life.

Only by ascending to immortality and undergoing calamities can one's Dao traces increase dramatically.

For mushroom masters and mushroom immortals, the more Dao marks they have, the more terrifying the amplification will be when they activate the corresponding Dao marks.

The reason why the innate Dao body is so unique is because it is born with a large number of Dao traces.

This allows mushroom masters, even in their mortal stage, to gain a boost far exceeding that of other mushroom masters who have undergone the same transformation, simply by relying on these Dao traces.

Both are about activating three-stage mushrooms, but those with innate Dao bodies are far more powerful than ordinary mushroom masters.

This is the effect of the Dao traces...

According to Master Gu, Morobi, a third-level mushroom master, possessed far more Dao traces than a fifth-level mushroom master.

Clearly, there's something fishy going on here.

From this perspective, it's quite possible that Morobi is one of the nine innate Dao bodies!

Wu Liang couldn't help but mutter to himself as he thought of this.

“No wonder Morobi was so certain that she was not the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable.”

"It turns out that she possesses the supreme bloodline of several other Ninth-Rank Venerables."

"I wonder which Venerable One Morobi is a descendant of..."

The Bone Immortal, standing to the side, thought for a moment and then said, "That girl mainly cultivates strength. If she truly has an innate Dao body..."

"In my opinion, the most likely candidate is a descendant of that True Martial Celestial Venerable!"

The name Zhenwu Tianzun is renowned throughout the mushroom world!
After all, compared to the Great Sun Celestial Venerable, even if his deeds are still passed down in the world, it is unknown how many tens of thousands of years have passed since then.

The Great Sun Deity is a revered being from ancient times, when all living beings in the world were just beginning to sprout.

Even the more active Wuxiang Tianzun was already a figure from the medieval era.

In ancient times, there were only two venerable ones...

First, there is the eighth Venerable One in the world, Tailu Tianzun.

Secondly, there is Zhenwu Tianzun, the ninth Venerable One in the world!
It has been less than ten thousand years since Zhenwu Tianzun returned to Heaven.

His deeds are the most widely circulated and known to every household.

It is said that Zhenwu Tianzun is the most venerable being in history who hates evil the most.

His appearance brought prosperity to the righteous path and bloodshed to the demonic path.

Xuan Tian, ​​one of the Nine Heavens, was created by him.

In the current world of mushrooms, the reason why the demonic path has weakened and there are no longer great demons like the Blood River Ancestor who would sacrifice thousands of people at any time is because of the True Martial Heavenly Venerable.

It should be noted that before the appearance of Zhenwu Tianzun, the demonic path was the mainstream because of Wuxiang Tianzun, the patriarch of the demonic path.

After the appearance of Zhenwu Tianzun, that period was a nightmare for the demonic mushroom masters.

Under the clear sky and bright earth, no evil can be tolerated.

Whether it's a minor evil or a major evil, once Xuan Tian deems it to be the demonic path, the only outcome is death.

Therefore, Zhenwu Tianzun was also known as Dangmo Tianzun, the patriarch of the righteous path!

If the descendants of Zhenwu Tianzun can activate their supreme bloodline, they will possess an innate Dao body.

It is one of the nine innate Dao bodies, born with a large number of Dao traces of power... the True Martial Demon-Slaying Body!

When Wu Liang thought of this, his breathing became somewhat rapid.

He never expected that he would encounter a rare innate Dao body, a phenomenon that occurs only once every thousand years.

You should know that the innate Dao body is something that even celestial beings in heaven covet.

A flash of bloodlust appeared in Wu Liang's eyes, followed by a surge of malice.

"If I can find a way to obtain the True Martial Demon-Slaying Body, wouldn't ascending to immortality be a piece of cake?"

"Once I become an immortal, the world will be vast, and I will be able to go anywhere. Returning home will be just around the corner!"

"Morobi has already chosen a path to death; the True Martial Demon-Subduing Body should be used by me!"
