Mushroom Man

"Tsk..."

"Back then, in order to escape the Western Regions, I risked my life and almost lost it at Bajiao Mountain."

"As a result, Xiao Chusheng actually managed to land directly in the North Sea thanks to the winds from all directions."

Wu Liang shook his head as he thought of this.

If we were to ask what Xiao Chusheng found most interesting among these memories...

Without a doubt, it was the wind from the east, west, north, and south.

Once upon a time, he believed that the only way to avoid immortals and pass through the Four Symbols Boundary Wall was through the four wonders: the earth veins, river caves, wind gaps, and the Yangguan Road.

Unexpectedly, the infamous calamity of the Western Regions, the winds from all directions, were able to allow the successor of the Formless Sect to evade the eyes and ears of the immortals, break through numerous blockades, and leave the Western Regions.

"Winds from all directions..."

"Logically speaking, no matter how strange such a natural disaster is, it should not be possible for people to pass through the Four Symbols Boundary Wall directly."

"Could it be that the winds from the east, west, north, and south are somehow intricately connected to the Four Symbols Boundary Wall?"

"Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the Four Symbols Boundary Wall failed to block the winds from the east, west, north, and south."

Wu Liang murmured to himself, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

He had a premonition that if he could decipher the secrets of the winds from all directions, he might be able to devise a way to freely traverse the boundary.

Unfortunately, there is currently no opportunity for him to decipher the winds of east, west, north, and south.

The winds from all directions blow in the Western Regions, while he is in the North Sea.

Even if there were some shady dealings involved, he couldn't return to the Western Regions to investigate such trivial matters.

Wu Liang shook his head, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The Four Symbols Boundary Wall is of utmost importance to the Dragon Elephant Grotto Heaven, but it is not something he should be worrying about at this stage.

Now his goal is to grow up as quickly as possible and try to transform into a dragon-man to seize the Dragon Palace.

Everything else has to wait.

"After digesting Xiao Chusheng's memories, my Yu Dao realm has indeed reached the apprentice level."

"However, because it is someone else's memory, the level of the school of thought it brings is still somewhat superficial."

"To truly master the art of apprenticeship, one must practice until proficient."

"It seems I'll have to find some time in the future to refine the Universe Dao Mushrooms and build some Universe Dao techniques that belong to me."

Wu Liang pondered to himself, and then headed towards the fifth floor.

He planned to take this opportunity to use the mirror maze to familiarize himself with the unpredictable nature of human nature.

That's right!

At this moment, he had already mastered the true teaching of the unpredictable nature of human hearts through Xiao Chusheng's memories.

The human heart is ever-changing, which is completely different from the human face being ever-changing.

Human faces are ever-changing, constantly shifting and changing.

Human nature is fickle, and it is easy to manipulate people's hearts.

If we're talking about the most ingenious and deadly moves, the fickle nature of human nature is even more impressive.

Xiao Chusheng developed the concept of "human nature is unpredictable" based on the true teachings of Wuxiang, which is also a weakened, basic version.

He used the Formless Order, the Imagination Mushroom and the Impression Mushroom as the core, and the Wish Mushroom and the Human Heart Mushroom as the backbone to construct a four-level system of the impermanence of the human heart.

Although it's called a fourth-level move, its effectiveness is no less than a fifth-level move because of the Formless Order, which is essentially a deception of the Immortal Mushroom.

With Wu Liang's current cultivation level, it would be extremely difficult for him to influence people's emotions and change their habits.

It's impossible to launch something as silently and instantly as Xiao Chusheng could.

If he wants to induce the human heart to be unpredictable, he must spend a lot of time accumulating true energy with silver water before he can barely induce the human heart to be unpredictable.

Even so, it was enough for Wu Liang.

After all, he doesn't need to use the unpredictable nature of human nature to do anything right now.

The only place where the fickle nature of human nature might be needed is in the crafting of Righteousness Mushrooms...

As Wu Liang thought of this, his eyes flickered slightly.

Human nature is ever-changing, and it has the power to influence and change people's hearts.

If used properly, he could completely exploit the fickle nature of human nature and transform his own corrupt heart into a kind one.

In this way, even without Yan Zhaodi's help, he could probably refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom on his own. However, this move clearly has some hidden dangers.

You must understand that changing people's hearts is no child's play.

If Wu Liang changes his mind and, influenced by his kindness, does something he shouldn't, then things will get complicated.

Such as...

Will Wu Liang feel remorse for his previous actions now that he has suddenly become a good person?
Out of remorse, would he be willing to turn himself in and confess to the Silver Dragon King or even Ao Miaoyin?

These are all unpredictable things, and things could easily happen.

That is why this matter must be handled with utmost care!

Wu Liang didn't want to end up killing himself because of the fickle nature of human nature.

It won’t take long…

As Wu Liang pondered, he arrived at the fifth floor.

The fifth floor was now filled with crystal-clear, smooth mirrors.

These mirrors, interwoven from each other, form an incredibly magnificent maze.

As Wu Liang stood there, several of his figures were reflected in the mirror, dazzling and overwhelming the eyes.

Fortunately, Wu Liang is the owner of this place; otherwise, anyone else would probably have gotten lost in the mirror maze after only a few steps.

"interesting……"

Wu Liang glanced casually at a mirror and saw his reflection winking at him.

The image of himself in the mirror was actually his appearance when he was still a second-level mushroom master in Zhaodi Town.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

This so-called mirror maze was indeed not as simple as he had thought.

It turns out that these mirrors can reflect not only one's own image but also the images of others.

It can even go further and manifest mirror images of itself at different times.

In other words...

If Wu Liang wanted to, he could even materialize his past selves from Zhaodi Town and Bajiao Mountain and have them fight.

However, the mirror maze doesn't seem to have that much of an effect.

At most, it will allow him to crush his past self and reminisce about his former weakness.

Aside from that, it doesn't seem to have any other special function.

Wu Liang shook his head, and then his mind stirred.

The next moment, Wu Liang, who was still a second-level mushroom master during the Zhaodi Town era, walked out of the mirror.

"How frail I am..."

"Perfect timing, let's try out the Imagination Mushroom and the Impression Mushroom."

Wu Liang looked at his former, so weak self, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

As he digested Xiao Chusheng's memories, the previously vague concepts of the Imaginary Mushroom and the Impression Mushroom became clear to him.

The wonderful use of the "Imagination Mushroom" is very simple: it allows one's own or others' thoughts to expand and generate various ideas.

Impression mushrooms, on the other hand, are used to deepen a thought, making it memorable and difficult to forget.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, Wu Liang from Zhaodi Town made the first move.

He pointed his fingers into a sword shape and instantly unleashed a long river of sword energy!
The river of sword energy surged and roared, accompanied by bursts of whooshing sounds as it swept in.

Wu Liang smiled calmly, and his blood-red hand appeared, crushing the river of sword energy to dust in one swift motion.

Then, unhurriedly, he activated the Imagination Mushroom towards 'Wu Liang' in Zhaodi Town.

In an instant, Wu Liang stood frozen in place, a series of strange and imaginative thoughts uncontrollably surfacing in his mind.

These thoughts, whether useful or not, instantly filled his mind.

Wu Liang looked dazed, drool dripping from his mouth.

"Aba aba..." (End of this chapter)
