Mushroom Man

Chapter 299 The Formless Venerable is finally freed from his predicament!
what's the situation?
The sudden turn of events caught everyone in the room completely off guard.

No one expected that Zhuge Huowang, who had just been in the limelight, would suddenly have such a big bowel movement.

They watched this scene with surprise and uncertainty, wondering what these two, master and disciple, were up to.

"How did you do that...?"

Zhuge Huowang's face was grim, and he spoke in a cold voice.

At this moment, he was no longer as calm as before and could no longer remain composed.

His statement has two meanings.

Firstly, the question is how Wu De, also known as Wu Liang, managed to possess Wu De's body without his knowledge.

Secondly, the question was about why Wu Liang was able to evade his methods.

You should know that the hand he just extended was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Upon realizing that 'Wu De' was Wu Liang, Zhuge Huowang immediately used the Soul-Binding Immortal Mushroom to try to extract his soul.

This is truly the work of a celestial being!

Let alone Wu Liang possessing Wu De's body, he was merely a second-level mushroom master and it was impossible for him to be unaffected by the Soul-Binding Immortal Mushroom.

Even if he is a fifth-level mushroom master, there is absolutely no way that the Soul-Binding Immortal Mushroom can be completely ineffective against him.

"Young man, you underestimate me far too much."

"Where in the four continents and nine heavens can I be confined?"

"You know perfectly well who I am, yet you dare to be so careless; you are truly the most foolish of all..."

Wu Liang, with his air of old age, actually reversed the Heavenly Gang in front of everyone and lectured Zhuge Huowang in the tone of a senior.

However, what no one knew was that he was only pretending to be calm, while in reality he was panicking.

This is now the final step in his plan to escape.

That was to take advantage of Wu De's escape from the blessed land and immediately use a deception to escape from Zhuge Huowang's grasp.

As mentioned before...

If Wu Liang were to set up a deception within Zhuge Huowang's blessed land, he would be discovered instantly and thus be brutally suppressed.

Only by leaving the blessed land and being in the outside world can one catch them off guard and successfully trigger the scam.

Furthermore, from the outside, Zhuge Huowang could not use the blessed land to isolate the scam, and therefore could not stop him.

Logically speaking, Wu Liang's plan was flawless; as long as he was released from the blessed land, his escape would be a foregone conclusion.

And that's exactly how it happened...

Wu Liang initiated the scam immediately, which is why he avoided the influence of the Soul-Binding Immortal Mushroom.

However, what was unexpected was that the Yuan Tu Temple and the Blood River Immortal Mushroom House were connected, which seemed to be strange, preventing him from directly entering the scam.

Wu Liangneng now clearly senses that it will be at least a few breaths before he completely falls into the trap.

In this process, although the scam can shield him from most of the influence, there's always the fear that something unexpected might happen, adding unnecessary variables...

So Wu Liang continued to ramble on, not to show off, but to stall for time.

"This……"

"What is this guy doing?"

Unable to contain their curiosity, the immortals began to chatter amongst themselves.

Zhuge Huowang and Wu Liang spoke in complete cryptic language, with only one of them knowing what the other was saying.

Therefore, this scene was like seeing a ghost to them, leaving them completely bewildered and confused.

At the same time, the Yuan Tu Ancestor, who had initially shown little interest, was also drawn to the sudden turn of events.

Although he was very old and blind, he was not blind.

On the contrary, he saw things more clearly than anyone else.

"This feeling……"

A look of confusion appeared on the wrinkled face of the Old Ancestor Yuan Tu.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Wu Liang's expression and even his tone of voice gave him a very familiar feeling.

This feeling was agonizing, as if it were awakening long-dormant memories.

But just as he seemed to be thinking of something...

Zhuge Huowang's words directly interrupted the thoughts of Yuan Tu Laozu.

"Okay, very good..."

"I never imagined that you really were the Formless Celestial Venerable."

"It's possible that I can use this lesson to test the reincarnation of you, the Celestial Venerable. It wouldn't be a loss for me."

Zhuge Huowang's expression softened slightly, and his tone became more resolute.

If he had only suspected that Wu Liang was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Venerable before, he was now 100% certain that Wu Liang was definitely the reincarnation of the Heavenly Venerable!

In fact, he trapped Wu Liang in the blessed land and gave him a choice where he would die ten times over, just to further confirm whether he was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Venerable.

After all, if Wu Liang were truly the reincarnation of the Celestial Venerable, then there would be absolutely no way he would so easily and willingly become a fragment of his soul.

And now, just as expected...

Wu Liang truly escaped his control in a way that was unclear to him.

If someone can do this, they absolutely cannot be a third-level mushroom master.

The only explanation is that, just as he suspected, he is the reincarnation of the legendary Nine-Turn Venerable, Wuxiang Tianzun!

"what?!"

"The Formless Celestial Venerable?!"

Zhuge Huowang never stops speaking unless he is astonished.

The sudden remark of "Formless Celestial Venerable" startled all the immortals, who immediately looked at Wu Liang.

At this moment, Wu Liang was gradually entering the 'deception', and a large amount of mist had appeared around him.

These mysteries stemming from the 'scam' made him seem even more enigmatic and unfathomable.

The group of mushroom fairies subconsciously activated their reconnaissance abilities, trying to see through the fog.

However, these illusions are actually the work of the Formless Celestial Venerable, so how could they possibly see through them?
Consequently, without exception, all the immortals gained nothing.

The only information that can be gleaned is that these fogs are extremely complex.

It's at least not a level 6 Mushroom Fairy that you can actually touch.

The expressions on the faces of the immortals upon seeing this were incredibly varied.

They truly never expected that coming here simply to offer birthday wishes would lead them to encounter such a shocking secret!

No wonder he's the most troublesome traitor in the Holy Cult.

It is said that wherever the Holy Church thieves appear, unexpected trouble will always arise.

Seeing it now, it truly lives up to its reputation. Meanwhile…

What no one knew was that one person in the room was more shocked than anyone else upon hearing the words "the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable".

Inside the blessed land of the Unlucky Taoist, Hua Youque's pupils shrank sharply, and his heart was filled with shock and turmoil.

He also possessed the Two-Sided Token, and thus immediately saw that Wu Liang was orchestrating a deception.

"No wonder, this person gave me the illusion that there was some connection between us."

"So this person is also a successor of the Formless lineage, just like me, and he even possesses two Formless Tokens..."

"Hiss, what a coincidence! Could this person be that Mushroom Immortal?"

"That holy immortal was so certain that he is the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable. Could it be that he has discovered something?"

Hua Youque's thoughts were in turmoil, and her heart was pounding wildly.

Previously, when the Heavenly Venerable Wuxiang announced to the world, he mentioned that among the eight successors of Wuxiang, there was his reincarnation.

If this holy immortal wasn't just making wild guesses...

This Mushroom Master might actually be the Formless Celestial Venerable.

After all, this guy had previously used a single sentence to trick the successor of the Formless Sect into willingly handing over the Formless Token.

Looking back now, it's possible that it was the domineering aura of a Nine-Turn Venerable that came into play.

Hua Youque's wild thoughts kept getting more and more outrageous.

At this moment, only Yuan Tu Lao Zu in the arena never believed that he was the so-called 'Formless Heavenly Venerable'.

As a mushroom immortal from the era of the Formless Celestial Venerable, he knew better than anyone just how terrifying the Formless Celestial Venerable truly was.

The little guy who seemed strangely familiar to him was different from ordinary people in every way, but compared to the Formless Celestial Venerable, the difference was still like heaven and earth.

"interesting……"

Yuan Tu Lao Zu sat up slightly, watching the farce with great interest.

However, he never imagined that this farce would soon drag him into it.

Wu Liang, shrouded in mist, suddenly chuckled, looked down at everyone, and spoke softly.

"Young man, don't waste your energy."

"I can go wherever I want, throughout the four continents and nine heavens."

"You can leave if you want, or stay if you want. You alone cannot stop me."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Huowang's expression, which had eased slightly, darkened again.

It turns out that he hadn't been idle at all while he was talking.

He constantly employed various methods to try and subtly influence Wu Liang.

However, no matter what method is used, once that layer of mystery is touched, it will disappear without a trace.

Now that Wu Liang has revealed this point, he has clearly seen through Wu Liang's little tricks.

He truly deserves to be called the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable.

Even though he is just an ordinary mushroom master, he has such unheard-of and unseen skills.

However, what he didn't know was that he was actually just making things up in his head.

Wu Liang didn't notice anything unusual he was doing.

The reason I suddenly spoke up was simply to chat idly for a bit longer and buy myself some more time.

Now, it seems like a long time has passed.

In reality, only a few breaths had passed since Wu Liang was exposed and the scam was triggered.

Wu Liang slowly scanned the assembled immortals.

Even though he is only a second-level mushroom master, his eyes are extremely arrogant and confident, looking down on everyone.

Every mushroom fairy who meets his gaze, who seems to be the reincarnation of a Nine-Turn Venerable, will subconsciously look away.

Only the old patriarch Yuan Tu met his gaze directly and calmly.

Wu Liang inherited the memories of the Blood River Ancestor.

He immediately recognized his 'traitor'.

Just then, the scam was already within reach.

With no more worries, Wu Liang was completely at ease.

But the fog grew thicker and thicker, threatening to engulf him soon.

"Celestial Venerable, please don't rush off..."

Seeing this, Zhuge Huowang still tried to urge the fairy mushroom to keep Wu Liang.

If the Formless Celestial Venerable were still the Nine-Turn Venerable, he certainly wouldn't dare to offend him like this.

In his view, however, the Formless Celestial Venerable had already reincarnated through some means.

The Wu Liang he has now transformed into may have some skills, but he could never be more powerful than him.

If they were truly that powerful, why would they need to escape from him?

Therefore, this guy must be bluffing at this moment.

It's possible that the mist surrounding it can only be used this once.

If he can stop it, then there is still a chance to salvage the situation!
However, as good as his idea, fate was not on Zhuge Huowang's side.

As the fog thickened, the means that might have influenced Wu Liang and disrupted the scam had vanished.

Wu Liang chuckled softly, glanced at Ancestor Yuan Tu, and silently mouthed something.

"You unfilial disciple, do you like the birthday gift your master gave you?"

In an instant, the expression on Yuan Tu Lao Zu's face changed.

"Hahaha……"

"The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever."

"There will be plenty of time in the future, and we will meet again."

Wu Liang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The next moment, his figure vanished into the world along with the mist...

Only a lingering echo remains, reverberating endlessly here.

"The soul is trapped in the dark and desolate village of tombs, shedding the old body to take on a new look."

"To live in the face of death and strive for freedom, daring to laugh at the immortals with my mortal body."

"With lofty aspirations and soaring spirit, we soar through the skies and display our heroic prowess."

"Let it go with the wind for now, and one day I will ascend to immortality and slay the dragon."
