Mushroom Man

Chapter 315 Hidden Dragon Ancestor, Dragon People Should Rise

The next day.

The Demon-Suppressing Tower, on the banks of the River of Oblivion.

Wu Liang sat cross-legged, his true energy surging.

Clumps of blood floated in front of him, radiating a dazzling halo.

At this moment, he seemed to be refining some kind of mushroom.

Behind him stood a man as tall as an iron tower.

"You're really lucky. I didn't expect you to actually pull through in the end..."

Wu Liang multitasked, refining mushrooms while speaking in a nonchalant tone.

The towering giant behind him was none other than Iron Slave, who had been reawakened at the last moment by an astonishing will to survive.

At this time, Iron Slave was not in very good condition; his injuries had only healed about 70%.

However, a 70% recovery is more than enough, and the patient is no longer in danger of death.

The remaining minor injuries can be left to time to heal naturally.

"Ah..."

The Iron Slave had no tongue and could only make muffled, incoherent noises, which could barely be considered a response.

"It's done."

Wu Liang suddenly spoke up.

Then the blood and water mingled, and a blood-channel mushroom took shape with each turn.

This is a flesh mushroom; simply swallow it, and you can grow the flesh and blood you desire.

This was a blood-stained mushroom that he had selected from Wu De's few remaining possessions and refined.

Wu De died before he could detonate the mushroom.

Consequently, most of the mushrooms in his dantian ended up in Wu Liang's hands.

However, Wu De's body was covered in mushrooms, and only a few of the Blood Path Mushrooms given to him by Zhuge Huowang were still somewhat useful to him.

"Eat it."

Wu Liang's tone was unquestionable as he casually tossed the freshly cooked Blood and Flesh Mushroom to Tie Nu.

Iron Slave took the flesh mushroom and swallowed it whole without hesitation.

In an instant, his missing tongue quickly grew back.

Iron Slave's tongue was forcibly ripped out by the Third Young Master in a fit of anger.

Because it was so old, Fengchungu was unable to repair it.

Only the flesh-and-blood mushroom can help it heal this old wound.

"Thanks……"

Iron Slave hadn't spoken for a long time, so his speech was slurred and awkward.

Wu Liang waved his hand, not minding at all.

"I saved you only to gain your loyalty."

"Follow me, and I'll give you everything you want."

"One day, you may well regain your freedom."

Upon hearing this, Tie Nu stood silently beside him, his actions speaking volumes without uttering a word.

At this point, Wu Liang now possessed a fourth-rank, a third-rank, and two second-rank combatants.

With this lineup, if he were to fight Bajiao Mountain again, he was fully confident that he could defeat the White Horn leader single-handedly without relying on Morobi and Bailai.

Of course, these can only be considered soft power...

Wu Liang's current strength is not yet sufficient to deal with a fourth-level mushroom master.

However, given some time to build up all the bloodline techniques, dealing with a fourth-level mushroom master would be a piece of cake.

For Wu Liang, the most important thing right now is to recover his cultivation as soon as possible and reach the third stage.

"My dantian has been nurtured for a day; it's time to continue my breakthrough."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang slowly closed his eyes.

His mind returned to his dantian.

A stream of bright silver true energy was constantly washing over the dantian.

The three-turn Heavenly Origin Lingzhi Mushroom floats in the stream of true energy.

Each drop of silver water transforms into true energy, sustaining the consumption of the true energy stream.

As a mobile spiritual spring, the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom means that once you possess it, you will never have to worry about insufficient true energy again.

Now that Wu Liang's true energy is abundant and his silver water is plentiful, it is the perfect time for him to break through!
"Crash-"

Wu Liang pressed on with all his might, mobilizing all the streams of true energy to surge outwards from his dantian, intending to expand his territory and return to the third stage.

Having prior experience with this, he didn't waste a single wisp of his true energy.

The shackles outside the dantian gradually cracked under the continuous flow of true qi.

The Heavenly Yuan Lingzhi emitted a bright light, like a full moon, causing the flow of true energy to increase rather than decrease.

About an incense stick later...

Sweat beaded on Wu Liang's forehead as he coldly shouted.

"break!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stream of true energy instantly broke through the shackles.

The ten acres of fertile land in the dantian thus grew rapidly to fifteen acres in size.

The originally silvery stream of true energy transformed into a golden yellow, flowing freely.

Wu Liang's aura suddenly surged, and he had achieved the initial stage of the third level!

In less than two days, he returned to the third rank.

With the Seven-Fragrance Wine Mushroom, it wouldn't take him long to return to the mid-stage of the third rank.

If everything goes smoothly, he might be able to reach the fourth level within six months!
"See the blue hand!"

Wu Liang's expression was arrogant, with a smirk on his face and an air of anticipation. As soon as he finished speaking, Shouqing indeed manifested again.

"Listen to me, listen to me..."

A cacophony of sounds filled my ears.

Wu Liang's eyes flickered, and thousands of 'little people' appeared before his eyes.

However, perhaps because the Bodhi seed was too weak, the voices of these 'little people' became extremely muffled and difficult to hear.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang frowned.

He had to strain his ears and listen intently to understand what these 'little people' were saying.

But the more you listen, the more frightening it becomes.

It turns out that this secret is also related to the Dragon Palace.

However, it was no longer a family matter between Ao Miaoyin and the Silver Dragon King, but rather about the origin of the Dragon Palace.

As the little man shook his head, a long-ago story, enough to shake the world, suddenly surfaced.

"do you know?"

"Ten thousand years ago, among the rare and nearly extinct Dragon People, a prodigy of extraordinary talent emerged."

"He cultivated in his dreams and made rapid progress without making a sound, eventually becoming an Eighth-Rank Mushroom Immortal."

"His sons and grandsons all called him... Ancestor Hidden Dragon."

"Ancestor Zhelong had achieved great success in his cultivation and was already one of the top experts at the time."

"Because humans oppressed dragon people, the dragon people's status became extremely low, which aroused his dissatisfaction."

"Therefore, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor made up his mind to lead the Dragon People to greatness again and restore the glory of ancient times."

"However, before he could make any move, a Venerable One of the human race suddenly appeared, and True Martial Heavenly Venerable attained the status of Venerable.

"Knowing that he was no match for the Venerable One, the Ancestor of the Hidden Dragon had no choice but to lead his people to swallow their anger."

"It was because he endured that moment that the dragon people were prevented from being involved in the Jiazi Demon Extermination."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor lies dormant, sleeping in dreams to prolong his life, waiting for the right opportunity."

"Finally, hard work pays off..."

"The True Martial Heavenly Venerable, who had suppressed the world for a lifetime, died when his lifespan ended."

"The four continents and nine heavens were devastated by the dark turmoil caused by the Jiazi Demon Extermination.

"The human race, both righteous and demonic, has suffered heavy losses, presenting an excellent opportunity for the dragon people to rise."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor was thus awakened and reborn."

"At that time, the Dragon People were suppressed by the Yellow Court in the Eastern Land, and a large number of Dragon People became slaves of the Yellow Court."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor, having reached his limit, led the Dragon People to collude with the remaining demonic forces left over from the Dark Turmoil, intending to attack Huangting."

"However, he overestimated himself and underestimated Huang Ting."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor, who had endured a lifetime of hardship, finally acted impulsively, but it brought annihilation to the Dragon People."

"That great battle shattered the backbone of the dragon people."

"Huang Ting crushed the dragon army led by the Hidden Dragon Ancestor with overwhelming force without lifting a finger."

"On that day, all the mushroom masters of the four continents witnessed the dragon's corpse fall to the ground, staining the sky with blood."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor risked his life to save thousands of dragon people and allow them to escape to the North Sea."

"It wasn't until later that the Hidden Dragon Ancestor learned that there was a traitor among the dragon people, and that Huang Ting had known about his existence as the Eighth-Rank Extraordinary Mushroom Immortal all along."

"Huang Ting had the idea of ​​thoroughly purging the dragon people when he became an Eighth-Rank Mushroom Immortal and wanted to overthrow the human race."

"The reason why Huang Ting revealed that he was severely injured after Zhenwu Tianzun passed away and deliberately enslaved the dragon people was to lure him into making a move."

"After learning all this, Ancestor Zhelong was filled with remorse."

He couldn't understand why there was no place for the dragon people to stand in this world.

"Why can humans oppress all living beings, while dragons, as a natural-born king race, are reduced to slaves of humans?"

"Ancestor Zhelong was unwilling to accept this. He wanted to rebel against all of this, change the fate of the dragon people, and fight against the human race to the end."

"Under these circumstances, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor led the remaining dragon people to lie dormant again in the North Sea."

"In order to one day rise again and be able to conquer the Yellow Court, he gave up the idea of ​​sleeping to prolong his life."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor exhausted his efforts and sacrificed the rest of his life to create an Eight-Turn Immortal Mushroom House for the Dragon People... the Dragon Palace."

"The Dragon Palace is the culmination of the life's work of the Hidden Dragon Ancestor, combining the Dao of Dreams and the Dao of Slaves, and is in no way inferior to the Venerable's Immortal Mushroom House."

"Unfortunately, after creating the Dragon Palace, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor was already exhausted and his life was nearing its end."

"He will never see the birth of the Dragon Palace and the rise of the dragon people."

"Ancestor Zhelong knew that there was a spy from Huangting among the dragon people."

"To prevent the Dragon Palace from falling into the hands of Huang Ting, he built a fake Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea."

"The True Dragon Palace was placed beneath the False Dragon Palace and protected by his dream."

"Only by inheriting the legacy of the Hidden Dragon through dreams can one take control of the Dragon Palace, and one must also be a dragon person!"

"Before his death, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor chose to pass on the Dragon Palace's legacy information to the ancient legendary fairy mushroom beast, Emperor Shitian, who had protected the dragon people since their birth."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor has taken a liking to Emperor Shitian, for his long lifespan as an ancient legendary fairy mushroom beast."

"He specifically instructed Indra to pass on the information about the Dragon Palace's inheritance to future generations of talented dragon sons and grandsons who can lead the dragon people to rise."

"However, despite all his calculations, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor never anticipated that Huang Ting's spy among the dragon people was actually Emperor Shitian."

"Di Shitian's unintentional exposure shocked and angered the Hidden Dragon Ancestor."

"He simply couldn't understand how Indra, who had been on good terms with the Dragon People for generations and was practically family, would betray them and side with Huang Ting."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor was furious and wanted to kill Emperor Shitian."

"However, at that time, he had left everything to the Dragon Palace and no longer had the ability to deal with Indra."

"The Hidden Dragon Ancestor exhausted all his strength, only managing to erase all of Emperor Shitian's memories of the Dragon Palace before he perished."

"Thus, the Eight-Turn Immortal Mushroom House, the Dragon Palace, which has exhausted the life's work of the Hidden Dragon Ancestor and carries the hope of the rise of the Dragon People..."

"From then on, no one knew of it, and it remained hidden from the world..."
