Shennong Dao Master
Chapter 1688 - 4: Mushroom King Zhao Xing! The Beihai Lord’s Expectations!
"There is competition for the Third Realm military units, but the mushroom species of the First and Second Realms face almost no competition; hardly anyone cares about my harvesting."
"In the Black Forest Land where I reside, through fission, I’ve already cultivated over a hundred thousand mushrooms," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He focused and looked inward, referencing the experimental subject [Illusion Star Mushroom].
There are seven kinds of [Life Dao Traces] on it.
The seven ’Dao Traces’ are insights gained from 97 years of research on mushrooms, arguably Zhao Xing’s most valuable achievement.
It’s something that cannot be replicated; even if given another chance, Zhao Xing couldn’t replicate the seven Dao Traces.
The Self Sect is obsessed with experiments precisely because of such delightful surprises.
"By employing ’Ti Yuan Divine Power,’ I now have a whole batch of Third Realm mushrooms."
"Because their life structure is stable and they have undergone ’rebirth,’ I can control most of the mushrooms."
"Of course, there are still many that cannot be controlled." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Zhao Xing merely copied the form and did not grasp the ’Life Dao Traces’ on the Illusion Star Mushroom.
Since ’Life Dao Traces’ can occasionally be obtained, uncontrollable factors will also arise.
"The most powerful one..."
Zhao Xing’s gaze fell upon a purple-gold mushroom, expanding and contracting in rhythm with his life.
It was about the same size as Zhao Xing, and even breathed in sync with him.
This was also the most powerful subject in Zhao Xing’s experiments.
[Mutant Mushroom]
[Realm: Great Divine Power Realm (Mutated)]
[Lifespan: 20 years]
[Innate Great Divine Power: Unknown]
[Innate Great Divine Power: Unknown]
Zhao Xing looked at this mushroom and couldn’t help but shake his head.
He himself didn’t know what kind of abnormality he had created.
Even its innate Great Divine Powers were unknown.
"Emerging from hundreds of thousands of mushrooms, it should be of some use," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"Unfortunately, there’s only one like this."
...
At this moment.
Bam bam bam bam bam bam——
Zhao Xing looked up to see a dozen or so black shadows disappear from a distance.
Golden flashes flickered over them, resembling the commotion when eliminated.
"What is that?" Zhao Xing wondered, noticing that many of the mushrooms on his periphery had been blown up.
"It seems that there’s a battle on the outskirts of my dojo, and it’s affected us."
Zhao Xing became more vigilant.
In the past two months, explosions kept occurring around him, causing significant mushroom losses.
"The territory has taken shape initially; I can consider seeking those special Great Divine Power Realm plants now," Zhao Xing began to rise.
Plants with Great Divine Power Realm life, however, cannot be scanned.
Zhao Xing could only send out his avatars and himself to search; after so much time, there are finally some clues.
...
In the Hall of Green Leaves, a figure suddenly passed through the Realm Wall and was thrown out by a burst of golden light.
"Eliminated just like that?" The ugly middle-aged man with crooked mouth and eyes widened his eyes. His injuries quickly healed, and once recovered, he looked a bit better.
"What kind of mushroom was that? I wanted to ambush the ’Mushroom King,’ but I ended up getting killed by his mushroom soldiers?"
"Indeed, there are heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people."
The middle-aged man sighed.
Despite Zhao Xing having so many Third Realm mushrooms, although the dojo was well-hidden, he still sensed it.
After all, even with the dojo’s coverage, it’s hard to suppress so many mutant mushrooms.
The dojo was not Zhao Xing’s strong suit, and many people still discovered this special site.
So, he quietly sneaked over, intending to ambush Zhao Xing and seize his Third Realm military units—once eliminated, the units would explode out.
However, the attempt to steal ended up with him getting eliminated instead.
"Ah..."
Recalling the recent experience, the hall’s waiting area echoed with a sigh.
Zhao Xing was completely unaware of the tens of thousands of Ministers of Agriculture eliminated because of him in the past two months, earning him the nickname ’Mushroom King.’
At this moment, he was still diligently searching for ’special Great Divine Power Realm plants.’
"Avoid the collapsing plant soldiers... where are they?" Zhao Xing searched each time.
Every time, they already had owners, with a Great Divine Power Realm guarding them.
[Known locations of remaining special military units in Man Ya 2436 Small World: 728]
Because the Star Mirror Meeting announced the locations of owned Great Divine Power Realm units, Zhao Xing could see in real-time that now 1,000 special plants had 728 owners!
"Time is nearing half a year, and only two hundred or so special plants remain uncovered," Zhao Xing started feeling a bit anxious.
....
Beihai Border Star, Lord Mansion.
In the hall watching the match live, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
Half a year had passed!
Of the 14,281 participants from the Beihai Star System who went for the assessment,
only one-tenth remained now.
Some professions were completely wiped out early on.
For instance, the relatively unpopular Starry Historian and Star Dancer.
Even though it was known that the elimination rate of the Primordial Conference was high, the Beihai Lord couldn’t help but feel somewhat frustrated watching the dwindling numbers.
It’s been seven consecutive times already with no one from the Beihai Star System entering the Primordial Realm.
Currently, in the second round of assessment, there are just over a thousand participants left, with the third and fourth rounds still to come—will it be another zero this time?
In front of those old friends, he will likely be ridiculed again... So embarrassing!
"Hahaha, another unlucky person eliminated by Zhao Xing’s mushrooms." As the Beihai Lord was pondering, one of his martial artists under his command suddenly laughed out loud.
"How many is that now? Do we have a count?"
