Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1514 - 18: Ti Yuan Divine Power! Unlucky Zeng Zhuo: Who’s Growing Mushrooms Here?

"The postnatal environment subtly forms various shackles, causing plant life to no longer exhibit those powerful talents. However, these talents have not disappeared, but rather are hidden away."

"Ti Yuan Divine Power, once mastered, has two effects: one is to amplify the inherent abilities of plant life, and the other is to excavate hidden abilities."

In Zhao Xing's eyes reflected billions of stars, each one representing the foundation of life.

"To put it simply, it's genetic editing." This was Zhao Xing's understanding.

The principle is straightforward, but the execution is the challenge.

Three months later, Zhao Xing made his first attempt, using the Nine Yin Demon Vine as a sample.

A golden thread appeared in front of him, blending spiritual power, yin-yang origin, and the power of divine soul.

It seemed like a needle, piercing into the body of the Nine Yin Demon Vine.

"This is Ti Yuan Divine Power," Zhao Xing cautiously manipulated, "this 'needle' is the manifestation of divine power."

A microcosmic view unfolded before Zhao Xing's eyes, revealing the life structure of the Nine Yin Demon Vine like a night sky.

Externally, the 'needle' appeared almost imperceptible. Yet in the microcosmic view, it seemed like a sky-supporting pillar, immensely thick.

Zhao Xing guided it to collide with a particular star.

"Boom!"

One of the stars vanished, turning into starlight and being absorbed by the other stars.

"The exploded star is the life origin of the Nine Yin Demon Vine, now absorbed by the other origins."

Zhao Xing switched to a macroscopic view to observe the Nine Yin Demon Vine.

No change occurred.

"Indeed, shaking just one life origin, at this level, doesn't even count as killing a cell, so no change is expected."

"Better not experiment with the Nine Yin Demon Vine anymore. It's the only one; the best test subject is the Illusion Star Mushroom."

The Illusion Star Mushroom has a [Split] talent, suitable for practice.

"Currently, I only have one 'Divine Power Needle.' The speed is too slow; first, improve proficiency." Zhao Xing thought.

According to the tomb owner's saying, mastering the ability to control 1 trillion Divine Power Needles marks completion, with perfection requiring 10 quadrillion needles.

"Let's go, mushrooms."

Zhao Xing forced the Illusion Star Mushroom to continually split.

Then he randomly jabbed at the split mushrooms.

The current goal wasn't for these mushrooms to grow, but to practice controlling the 'Divine Power Needle,' so it didn't matter where he jabbed.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

In the microcosmic view, the divisions of the Illusion Star Mushroom represented life origins. Stars crazily extinguished, and were absorbed by other stars.

The exterior remained calm without ripples.

Zhao Xing used the panel to increase proficiency.

His jabbing frequency was high, with proficiency quickly rising.

This training appeared dull to outsiders, but Zhao Xing could endure solitude since the panel's proficiency showed progress, making the jabbing interesting.

On the first day, Zhao Xing expanded to 'Ten Needles.'

On the second day, he managed to control 'Hundred Needles' simultaneously.

By the third day, he reached 'Thousand Needles'.

...

Time passed, three months after Zhao Xing acquired "Ti Yuan Divine Power."

"Bang!"

The first mushroom finally underwent a qualitative change!

"Roar!"

As if unable to withstand Zhao Xing's jabs, the Illusion Star Mushroom emitted a beast-like roar before suddenly exploding!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

A layer of transparent liquid splattered onto Zhao Xing.

"Why does it smell like meat? The toxicity has completely disappeared, and the explosive power reduced by ten thousand times, but its mass increased dozens of times."

Zhao Xing dispersed the air, observing clearly that before the explosion, the mushroom had entirely changed shape, transforming into a bizarre form.

"A fine Second Realm plant, got downgraded to below Fate Palace Realm by me."

The split body of the Illusion Star Mushroom had an early Second Realm level.

With Zhao Xing's random interference, it directly exploded, before which its life level was approximately Heavenly Fate Realm.

"Hope it doesn't turn into some monster."

Zhao Xing murmured, as the Self Sect's Minister of Agriculture often encountered accidents during experiments, sometimes creating a terrifying entity, resulting in someone's death.

"Need to be cautious next."

Instead of merely refining control over Element Stripping Needle, Zhao Xing started specific training.

"This star region is the 'Poison Origin' of the Illusion Star Mushroom."

"Near the center, some unknown origins are mixed."

"Let's try to amplify the toxicity first."

Now controlling millions of 'Element Stripping Needles,' Zhao Xing began formal combat modifications.

...

Half a month later.

Three split bodies of Illusion Star Mushroom stood in front of Zhao Xing.

One was an experimental subject, the other two were control samples.

"The control samples appear green with a purple tinge."

"The experimental subject turned pure black."

"Disguise and hallucinogenic talents completely vanished, leaving only the [Yin Poison] talent."

"Lifespan became very short."

Zhao Xing carefully sensed.

"About two hundred years to live."

"But the [Yin Poison] talent magnified fifty-fold; this experiment subject, speaking solely in toxin strength, can already threaten the Third Realm."

Zhao Xing's expression became somewhat solemn as he carefully handled it to avoid harm.

The Self Sect was ostracized by the Heavenly Time Earth Advantage factions because of their extremity, making them seem very dangerous.

The Self Sect's Minister of Agriculture was either a genius or a madman, or perhaps there was no difference between the two.

"Throw it far away."

Zhao Xing cautiously enveloped it, tossing it to the other side of the Corrosion Swamp.

"Keep experimenting, understand the split body, then act on the mother body."
