Mushroom Man

"Oh no, this beast has already begun to absorb energy!"

"Something's strange. The process of shattering the core to ascend to immortality and balancing the three energies is impossible to achieve in an instant, so how did this guy manage to do it?"

"The human energy, the earth's energy, and the weather are all abundant, showing no signs of instability whatsoever. What kind of monster is this?!"

"We must stop him; we absolutely cannot allow him to become an immortal."

"No, we must not act rashly. The three energies around him are too dense; any hasty intervention will surely endanger our souls and bodies..."

The expressions of the three thousand divided souls changed one after another, and all sorts of voices echoed here.

His mind was in complete chaos, and the thoughts generated by his three thousand divided souls became a jumbled mess.

Some of these ideas were eager to take action, while others advocated waiting and seeing, leading to a heated argument.

In the chaos, the three thousand divided souls were frozen in place, unable to move for a long time, which gave the Golden Dragon King a chance to catch his breath.

"Weather mushroom, Earth mushroom, Popularity mushroom..."

With a hoarse voice, the Golden Dragon King activated the three fifth-stage mushrooms that had been prepared in preparation for his ascension to immortality.

With the help of these three mushrooms, he completed the process of absorbing qi effortlessly.

The potential imbalance of the three elements caused by excessive popularity was also quelled at this moment.

During this process, the three energies were balanced and intertwined, bringing him a continuous stream of inspiration.

As we all know, heaven and earth are the foundation upon which all things are nurtured.

When the three energies interact, they will infuse the mushroom master with the profound mysteries of the Great Dao during the process of ascending to immortality.

Mushroom masters can often gain insight into the great principles of the world through this, deduce the ultimate techniques of mushroom cultivation, and elevate the level of their school of thought.

The Golden Dragon King's eyes grew brighter and brighter, even giving off a dazzling feeling.

At the same time, the mixed-color energy formed by the three energies continued to cleanse his body, soul, and mind.

The dragon bloodline became increasingly pure, and its already terrifying potential surged even further.

With the help of the great power of heaven and earth, every inch of his flesh and blood gradually transformed into an immortal body.

Only now, the three thousand fragmented souls, whose thoughts had been in disarray due to their inability to unify their ideas, managed to regain some clarity.

"I see……"

"No wonder this lowly dragon-man was able to immediately absorb the three energies after his core shattered."

"It turns out this guy has Weather Mushroom, Earth Mushroom, and Human Mushroom on him."

"Wait, why am I still worrying about this?"

"Why was this guy able to absorb the three energies so quickly? What does that have to do with me?"

"Shouldn't my top priority be to find a way to bypass Sanqi and nip this guy in the bud?"

"Why should I stand here like an idiot and watch him ascend to immortality?"

With a sliver of clarity, the three thousand divided souls keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been tricked.

You must understand, as the three thousand soul fragments of Zhuge Huowang, they have never been so out of control as they are today.

However, without realizing it, he suddenly found himself in a state of confusion and lost control of his mind.

The various split souls argued back and forth, unable to reach a consensus.

Although the stitching of the three thousand fragmented souls together would inevitably cause chaos, with Zhuge Huowang's manipulation, it should not get out of control.

Is it possible...

One of the three thousand divided souls, upon thinking of this, immediately showed a look of horror.

It quickly mobilized its thoughts to communicate with the rest of the chaotic and noisy divided souls.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing..."

"Listen to me, we've all been affected!"

"Quickly think of a solution! If this continues, that lowly dragon-man might actually become an immortal!" Upon hearing this, the other divided souls stopped arguing, paused for a moment, and stopped their wild thoughts.

"What? We've been tricked?"

"How is that possible! Who has the ability to influence us?"

"Hiss... When did we start to lose control?"

"It seems that our thoughts suddenly became chaotic around the time that dragon-man began to ascend to immortality."

"So, it was that lowly dragon-man who secretly used tricks to affect us?"

"Impossible! He's just a level 5 mushroom master, how could he possibly influence us without us even noticing?"

"Exactly! If he really had such abilities, we wouldn't have forced him to ascend to immortality!"

"If it wasn't him, then who could it be?"

"Wait... Has anyone noticed what this dragon-man's ascension tribulation is?"

The three thousand fragmented souls stirred with thoughts, and as they muttered to themselves, something suddenly occurred to them.

Their expressions changed drastically in an instant, and then they looked up sharply!
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a large cloud of celestial tribulation clouds appeared above the Dragon Palace.

As luck would have it, this cloud of tribulation landed right above the heads of the three thousand divided souls.

Originally, the Ascension Tribulation was only for those who ascended to immortality, but now that the three thousand divided souls are too close, he has also been inadvertently dragged into it.

As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Now, the three thousand divided souls are like the 'tall guy' who takes the blame for him, in the eyes of the Golden Dragon King.

The target of the three thousand divided souls is the largest, and it is also a mushroom fairy.

When a mushroom fairy gets involved in a mushroom master's ascension process, it often leads to a significant increase in the difficulty of the ascension tribulation.

The current tribulation of ascension clearly treats the three thousand divided souls as the protectors of the Golden Dragon King.

The culprit that caused the three thousand divided souls to be confused and unable to unify their thoughts was the Ascension Tribulation brewing within that tribulation cloud.

There are two types of Ascension Tribulations...

Firstly, there are celestial calamities caused by weather.

Secondly, geological disasters caused by the earth's energy.

The power of these two ascension tribulations largely depends on the energies of heaven and earth that the mushroom master attracts when ascending to immortality.

The more celestial energy attracted, the more terrifying the Ascension Tribulation becomes.

The two energies of heaven and earth that the Golden Dragon King absorbed mostly came from the Dragon Palace.

Given the Dragon Palace's resources, one can only imagine how terrifying the energies of heaven and earth it can provide.

However, this is not the end!

The Golden Dragon King even went so far as to activate the Weather Mushroom and Earth Mushroom, adding fuel to the fire.

After balancing the three energies, he expelled all the excess weather and earth energies, deliberately increasing the difficulty of the calamity.

Little by little, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, which is why we have this thick, almost impenetrable cloud of calamity hanging over our heads.

The reason why the Golden Dragon King did this was very simple: to kill the three thousand fragmented souls.

Of course, by doing this, he himself might very well die under this tribulation of ascension.

However, since the Golden Dragon King had done this, he was naturally prepared to die.

In his view, as long as he could protect the Dragon Palace, he would not hesitate to perish with the demon.

He risked his life and made such a huge sacrifice, so the rewards he received were naturally very pleasing.

As the calamity clouds surged, the heavenly tribulation brewing within finally revealed its true form.

Light!
Those were beams of warm, gentle light! (End of Chapter)
