Mushroom Man

That's right!

At this moment, the Golden Dragon King disregarded everything and deliberately shattered his dantian.

As everyone knows, if a mushroom master wants to ascend to immortality, the first thing they must do is to shatter their dantian.

As the saying goes, "No destruction, no construction; destruction precedes construction."

Once a mushroom master shatters their dantian, there is no turning back; they can only move forward.

If one fails, one will surely die and perish, unless one has a means to save one's life.

Even so, they will eventually become useless. Losing their dantian means they will no longer be mushroom masters, which is essentially the same as death.

Once the dantian is shattered, it will create a vulnerability within the Mushroom Immortal's body.

At that time, the weather and earth's energy will all rush into the hole.

Mushroom masters, on the other hand, need to use their own popularity to blend with the weather and the earth's energy.

The entire process is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could result in death.

If there is too much heat, the mushroom master will dissolve into nothingness.

If there is too much earth energy, the mushroom master will turn into stone.

If a mushroom master becomes too popular, he will also self-destruct and die.

Therefore, the mushroom master must constantly balance the three energies, eventually break through the void, blast out a blessed land of immortals, and ascend to heaven to become an immortal.

And in this process...

Mushroom masters must not only balance the three elements internally, but also pay attention to natural disasters and man-made calamities externally.

Ascension to immortality is defying the will of Heaven, and Heaven will bring natural disasters and man-made calamities upon the mushroom master.

Throughout history, perhaps only one in millions of people has ascended to immortality.

The reason is not that the three elements are difficult to balance, but that the natural and man-made disasters are too terrible, causing countless outstanding talents to perish.

Now that the Golden Dragon King has shattered his elixir and ascended to immortality at this critical juncture, he has clearly lost his mind!
It should be understood that extraordinary people are not favored by the heavens.

Often, it is more difficult for non-human mushroom masters to overcome natural disasters than for human mushroom masters.

The reason for this lies in the fact that the tribulation that Heaven bestows upon extraordinary individuals is far more difficult than that of ordinary mushroom masters.

Therefore, most extraordinary mushroom masters will only choose to shatter their core and ascend to immortality after they have made all the necessary preparations.

The Golden Dragon King ascended to immortality hastily, without any protectors or preparations to avoid calamities, making the difficulty of his ascension all the more unimaginable.

But that's not all!
Most importantly, the Golden Dragon King ascended to immortality right under the noses of his three thousand divided souls.

Naturally, the three thousand divided souls became a man-made disaster for the Golden Dragon King.

Even the most despairing man-made disasters committed by ordinary mushroom growers usually don't involve the Mushroom Fairy.

Now, however, the Golden Dragon King has to face the Mushroom Immortal's obstruction, which is clearly a situation where he has no chance of survival.

Even so, the Golden Dragon King still went without hesitation and resolutely chose to shatter his elixir and ascend to immortality.

This shows that the Golden Dragon King never intended to live!

He wanted to use the Ascension Tribulation to make this demon who dared to slaughter dragon people and destroy the Dragon Palace suffer the consequences!
"Shu Zi is looking for death!"

The three thousand divided souls let out a long howl and, without hesitation, pointed a finger at the target.

Clearly, he wanted to crush the Golden Dragon King before the three energies could converge.

However, the three thousand divided souls ultimately underestimated the Golden Dragon King...

At this very moment, an invisible, immense power of heaven and earth has already formed.

This immense power enveloped the Golden Dragon King, causing it to break free from the influence of the soul pressure and begin to rise slowly.

The pure, light air and the heavy, murky earth air surged in from all directions.

The entire process took only a few moments, at a speed that was astonishing.

Before the Soul Finger could even touch the Golden Dragon King, it was completely dissolved by the two energies of heaven and earth.

Once the two energies of heaven and earth converge, no one else can interfere rashly.

If you get too close, the mushrooms will be affected and suffer a backlash from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In severe cases, even the fairy mushrooms would perish as a result. If it were Zhuge Huowang himself who came this time, perhaps he wouldn't need to worry about these trivial matters.

However, the three thousand fragments of the soul are only a part of it. It is only with such terrifying spiritual power that one can be considered an immortal.

In such circumstances, how can one contend with the mighty power of heaven and earth?

"Damn it, how could it be so fast?!"

The three thousand divided souls were shocked and furious, and had no choice but to stop and watch.

Their original plan to crush the Golden Dragon King before the two energies of heaven and earth could converge failed.

In fact, in theory, although the Mushroom Master's shattered pill would stir up the two energies of heaven and earth, there should always be a certain buffer period, and it shouldn't be this fast.

However, the Golden Dragon King was different. He had just shattered his dantian, yet he absorbed enough of the two energies of heaven and earth in an instant, which was truly unbelievable.

Of course, even more unbelievable things were yet to come.

"hold head high!"

The Golden Dragon King roared and howled, and the two energies of heaven and earth merged into his body, causing a pure white aura to emanate from him.

The popularity of the pure white was extremely strong, even beyond imagination.

Popularity symbolizes depth, accumulation, potential, and so on.

An ordinary mushroom grower's popularity is at most ten feet high.

On the other hand, the aura emanating from the Golden Dragon King was as high as tens of feet!
His popularity soared, enveloping him like a white, misty cloud.

The amount of heaven and earth energy they had previously absorbed was already considerable, but it was nothing compared to human energy.

"How is this possible? How could this lowly dragon-human possess such a strong and abundant human aura?"

"When I ascended to immortality, I was probably less than half of what I was."

"What merit or ability does a mere eccentric possess?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the three thousand fragments of the soul were thrown into utter confusion.

The various thoughts of splitting the soul collided and argued fiercely.

He clearly didn't know...

The lowly dragonman in his eyes was the most outstanding dragonman leader in the history of the dragonman race!
Undoubtedly the pinnacle of humanity, the number one person below even the immortals!
Perhaps only by tracing back to the ancient ancestor of the Hidden Dragon tens of thousands of years ago can it be compared to this.

The Golden Dragon King has been at the peak of the fifth level for nearly a dozen years.

Even when the Silver Dragon King was still at the third or fourth level of cultivation, he had already reached the pinnacle of the human realm, a point where there was no further advancement.

With the Golden Dragon King's talent and abilities, he could have ascended to immortality long ago.

The reason he has delayed his ascension to immortality until now is entirely due to the orders of the Dragon Palace Master, Sudhana Bodhisattva, who requires him to consider the overall situation.

If he ascends to immortality, the Dragon Palace will surely be leaderless, and the Silver Dragon King alone will not be enough to protect it.

Moreover, once he becomes an immortal, it would be inappropriate for him to ascend to heaven on any particular day.

Sudhana Bodhisattva was unwilling to leave all his treasures in the Pure Land, and there was another hidden reason behind this.

By keeping the Golden Dragon King, we are leaving a mushroom fairy seed for the Dragon Palace.

In this way, even if something were to happen to Sudhana, the Golden Dragon King could step in immediately and continue the flame of the Dragon Palace.

However, the Golden Dragon King couldn't care less about that right now.

With a formidable enemy at hand and the Dragon Palace in imminent danger, he had to step forward no matter what, even if it meant his death and the loss of his immortality...

At this moment, the Golden Dragon King completely unleashed his potential.

The three energies surged, converged, and merged, forming a mixed-color energy mass.

Thus, we have reached the second step of ascension to immortality... Qi absorption!
It can be said that:

Once there was a golden carp, a prodigy, who lingered on the path to immortality, though it seemed so close.

To protect the dragons and ensure their homeland, they willingly became creatures in the pond, shielding themselves from the dust.

Now, a demon has destroyed the dragon's palace, bringing annihilation and calamity to the clan and its people.

With a do-or-die spirit, he harnessed the three vital energies, and in one fell swoop, the gates of heaven opened for ascension. (End of Chapter)
