Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 429 The Strangeness of the Dao Spirit

Liu Jun frowned slightly. "The Dao Spirit Realm, somewhere between the eighth and ninth rank?"

"It's possible that this Dao Spirit Realm is already at the ninth level."

"It's just that they are fake, stitched-together Dao Spirits, pieced together from various sources, which is why they've been stuck at the barrier. Only by possessing a truly perfect Dao Spirit can one break through to the ninth rank."

He sensed Harris before him, his immense mental energy constantly seeping into his body, scouring every aspect of his physical structure and the distribution of his shackles.

In an instant, Harry's proud eel spirit was analyzed by Liu Jun.

This Dao Spirit is composed of various tiny shackles of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, and is divided into very fine parts.

“Show me your lanternfish spirit,” God said.

Harry's eel spirit instantly split into fragments, and then reassembled the core of his twenty-three shackles into a lanternfish.

Liu Jun's powerful and terrifying will transformed into Nen energy and swept across the area once more. "So that's how it is. This structure is quite interesting."

"Furthermore, the fused Dao spirits are somewhat like some murky fused divine objects, a chaotic mess fused together."

"However, our mushroom deity possesses a single, pure attribute, exuding a fundamental, sacred purity, while they are a hodgepodge."

Liu Jun roughly understood the advancement path to the Dao Spirit Realm.

Furthermore, he discovered that this fusion of Dao spirit technology was already extremely refined and mature, truly worthy of being a system that had been deduced over countless years in this Twelve Trials Universe.

but.

Upon closer reflection, even the eighth-tier cannibals are cannibalistic!

Let the other eighth-tier creatures graze, allowing them to nurture new shackle artifacts, then plunder and fuse them.

Fortuna looked at the lanternfish and nodded. "No wonder you're so fierce. You're equivalent to the core essence of more than three hundred eighth-level powerhouses combined."

She paused, then asked, "A hundred seconds have passed, Harris is dying, should we save him?"

"no need."

God said calmly, "Based on their characteristics, we only need to leave behind his eighth-order Dao Spirit to fully inherit their combat power."

As long as the fused eel and lanternfish are left behind, they can inherit his life's worth of accumulated knowledge and skills!
They can cultivate a new top-tier combat force that is close to Harry's at any time.

What's the point of keeping him here?
Death was the best outcome for him.

God hesitated for a moment, then bound a divine, immortal power to Harris.
“I’ve extended his death time to 1000 seconds. Now, have him write down all the information he can narrate!”

"You're making me do all these trivial things again!" Fortuna said with a bitter expression.

Compared to other gods, she is an absolute workaholic.

Her fate is too universally applicable!

Liu Jun ignored Fortuna's complaints and left the world of death with Harris's legacy.

"Your Majesty!"

In the vast ocean, the battlefield was in ruins. Munisus lowered his voice and said, "Please tell us our next direction of march!"

"Reorganize the army and restore its numbers."

God pondered for a moment, then tossed out a coordinate and an address, "Then go and take over their headquarters, completely seize control of this kingdom, and change the dynasty!"

Ying Yun, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "We have already conquered the Second Universe Trial. Shall we ascend to this cosmic level?"

"No need." God left behind this voice, and his figure gradually disappeared.

In Liu Jun's view, it would be best to keep the main base of the real universe in the First Desert Universe.

Why the rush to upgrade to a higher dimension?

The other party can reach into the lower levels of the universe where the trials are conducted.

Therefore, the ocean universe in the middle is a huge buffer zone. If they want to attack me, they want to open the dimensional gate of the ocean universe.

Munisos nodded, realizing what was happening:
"Are they treating the ocean and the universe as the front line's gate?"

Liu Jun quickly returned to the desert universe of the first trial.

The universe has now been completely transformed beyond recognition, becoming various nations spreading the faith of gods.

In heaven.

Liu Jun was playing with an eel spirit in his hand, constantly turning it into tiny, dense fragments of shackles, which flew, spun, and merged in mid-air like colorful scales.

"interesting."

"That's really interesting."

With a thought, Liu Jun summoned his weapon-refining furnace—the pawnshop—and transformed all three hundred-plus shackled artifacts into three hundred-plus divine sparks, turning them into equipment.

More than three hundred divine entities suddenly flew and converged into an eel!
Liu Jun put on the super divine eel as equipment, and in an instant, an astonishing power suddenly erupted.

His base stats are skyrocketing.

One time, two times, thirty times. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying will erupted from the eel spirit.

This Dao spirit and Liu Jun formed a connection in the dark. This large, turbid and mixed "divine object" fed back various mysterious laws and powers to Liu Jun.

Click, click, click!

The more than three hundred shackles on Dao Ling's body seemed to transform into chains of order, encircling his form and becoming the conceptual framework of his existence.

Through the feedback and blessing of the Dao Spirit's order, a violent power surged out, enveloping every corner of Liu Jun's body.

Click, click, click!

Liu Jun then broke through to the so-called Dao Spirit Realm.

"So strong."

Liu Jun felt his body and thought, "With me like this, I could crush those ordinary eighth-level opponents with one hand. No wonder they were so arrogant."

Eighth-tier beings are as weak as ants in his presence.

Even Harris, who was previously insignificant, would probably be reduced to an ant again in his presence!
"call!"

Liu Jun let out a long breath, a smile playing on his lips.
"This is an absolute steal! We've gained so much in one fell swoop! We've plundered all the cultivation they worked so hard to achieve."

However, upon closer reflection, this surge in success was not entirely due to his own unique opportunity.

If you can get rich quick this way, others can also get rich quick this way!
Hunt them down and seize their cultivation.

The eighth rank is a hunting ground for cultivation!

They plunder each other's eighth-tier primordial artifacts to condense them into their own Dao spirit.

It was extremely cruel and bloody!

"Regardless, the weakness in strength has been somewhat compensated for."

Liu Jun took a deep breath.

He has now plundered Harry's cultivation and become one of the more than three hundred Dao Spirit Realm cultivators at the Shackles level.

While his individual strength might not be considered formidable within the Dao Spirit Realm, combined with his various divine artifacts and equipment, he would likely be virtually invincible.

"It cannot expand."

"The Dao Spirit Realm is the threshold for becoming a strong person in this world; it's like getting an entry ticket!"

Liu Jun sensed his ambition growing and kept warning himself.

Harry's downfall was due to his arrogance; he thought he was invincible, so he became cocky and eventually died.

For the next period of time, Liu Jun began to study this eel spirit continuously.

He tried to improve and revise it.

But he discovered that, based on the existing fragments, even with the wisdom of his God, nothing could be changed.

This eel is already quite perfect in the current proportions!
This is not surprising. Harris is not stupid. He has been here for many years. Even if he is diligent, he has thoroughly studied the things that make him live on!
"So, what if I try a different approach?"

Liu Jun suddenly had a whimsical idea and looked at the core of the eel.

"Harris's artifact is a scepter of the sea. He must use his own shackles as the core to stitch together hundreds of other shackles."

It's like a foundation, from which you build more buildings!
His foundation is already set; it can only be built around the scepter of the sea. And that is his core, not mine.

I could simply use a completely new artifact to construct it.
"His scepter of the sea has more than twenty chains, which seems like a lot, but in reality, the quality is not high!"

"The civilizations under my command possess all sorts of alien shackles he could only dream of: concealment, transformation, and destiny."

Thinking of this, Liu Jun checked his inventory. "The shackles are fragments among fragments. Even an ordinary lower-level Destiny artifact can be used to comprehend more than a dozen different Destiny Shackles. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are hundreds or thousands of shackles."

Soon, he found a green orb with eleven chains.

Although it seems to have far fewer shackles than the Ocean Scepter, it is of higher quality, containing high-quality shackles such as immortality, evolution, and destiny.

"Use this as the core and build something around it."

Thinking of this, Liu Jun began to fill in the gaps again, as if he had discovered a new continent, constantly perfecting the so-called Dao Spirit.

After all, that's how cultivation in the Dao Spirit Realm works!

Plunder other people's Dao artifacts, and then study how to fuse them together to make your own Dao spirit stronger and more powerful.

He secluded himself for arduous practice.

The years pass by in spiritual practice.

After a long while, Liu Jun looked at his brand-new Dao Spirit.

A subhuman-like life form composed of more than 500 shackles, a baby angel with a pair of snow-white angel wings.

"Not bad." Liu Jun smiled slightly.

But the next second, a wisp of wisdom suddenly appeared in this perfectly integrated Dao spirit.

"Father God?"

Liu Jun frowned slightly: "You have willpower?"

"Yes, yes," the voice was incredibly childish.

Liu Jun suddenly found it somewhat unbelievable.

It was by imposing the shackles of wisdom and evolution on itself that this Dao Spirit possessed unprecedented wisdom and will.
Or.

When the Dao Spirit reaches a certain level of perfection, each one will develop consciousness.
"If it's just an isolated case in my area, that's fine, but if it's a widespread phenomenon..."

"So, when everyone's Dao Spirit reaches a certain level, it will develop its own will?"

Liu Jun stroked his chin, a look of indescribable silence creeping over him.

"Does this Daoist spirit calling me 'father' mean he'll kill me in the future?"

"Could it be that my father died at the eighth level, and my son Dao Ling broke through to the ninth level?"

Liu Jun had a ridiculous thought: You're doing this again? Are you addicted to it?
If the Dao Spirit is also capable of killing its own master, then killing one's father and son along the way is the rule of this universe, right?

"Father, Father?" The angel looked at God with a hint of displeasure and felt inexplicably uneasy.

Liu Jun glanced at the hazy new life and pondered how to deal with it.

I thought I had created a brand new super Dao spirit, but it turned out to be a hot potato.

Once Dao Ling gained intelligence, Liu Jun would not bring him to his side, because he had too many secrets.

But you can't just kill the other side, can you?

Given the current situation, staying to observe this Dao spirit that has developed consciousness is the best course of action.

Observe his growth cycle, future development, and changes in wisdom.
But you can't bring it with you.

So Liu Jun made a bold choice: to return the Dao Spirit with the five hundred shackles to another person to equip.

So, who should it be given to?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jun concluded that if we were to talk about fanatics, then Munesus would be the most suitable.

Thinking of this, he decisively summoned Munisus and returned to heaven.

"See Your Majesty."

An angel in the shape of a spirit emerged from beside God. "This is Gabriel. From this day forward, you will be the Pope, protected by the angel Gabriel."

After saying this, more than five hundred shackled deities fell before Munisos.

Munisos was so overwhelmed by this surprise that his mind went completely blank: over five hundred shackles? This is supposed to make me a Dao Spirit Realm cultivator?
He had seen Harry's rampage with that eel!
"Go."

God spoke calmly, “Through Gabriel as the Dao Spirit, I can elevate you to the Dao Spirit realm, but Gabriel will also act as God’s messenger to oversee whether you, as Pope on earth, violate divine rules.”

"Yes!"

Munisos looked excited.

After seeing Munesos off, Liu Jun was somewhat speechless. "Let's observe for a while. Anyway, he's just an experimenter. Once he knows how to break through, I can quickly collect another batch of shackles and continue to combine Dao Spirits."

Time keeps passing.

Having gained immense power, Munesos, ten years later, traveled on the time highway and finally arrived at Herith's stronghold.

There is no leader here, but there are surprisingly many powerful people here!
A great battle thus broke out.

"Who are you? How dare you invade the palace of the Sea Lord?"

"kill!"

"How brave!"

Seven Dao Spirit Realm cultivators emerged, the weakest with only a little over a hundred shackles, while the strongest had over three hundred.

This battle was so fierce that it shook the heavens and the earth.

With these people working together, their overall difficulty is no less than that of Harry.

Because their numbers were far too great, though their quality was inferior, their numbers far exceeded those of the army under God's command.

Fortunately, Munesus is no longer what it used to be!

This battle lasted only eight days.

Gabriel's terrifying power, this angel of holy light, has become a nightmare for almost the entire ocean kingdom.

"We won! We finally won!"

"Hahaha, this battle is finally over!"

"Yes, I've been dead for three generations. My grandfather died, my father picked up the divine spark, my father died, and I picked up the divine spark. Our cultivation levels have become family heirlooms!"

Countless people cheered.

They finally used various divine powers to defeat the enemy's main force and completely conquered the enemy in this universe.

Seeing this, Munisos couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"That Harris is incredibly stupid."

"Even after he died, the remaining troops were incredibly fierce."

"If they were to fight us seriously, it would probably require the intervention of God and the gods themselves to win this war."

He was secretly amazed.

After all, the person of God has always been very mysterious, which has instilled in them invincible faith.

This is Liu Jun's behavioral logic. After all, as a mysterious god, he naturally needs to maintain a mysterious persona and be unfathomable in order to subdue the people below.

"But where did that general named Rick go?" Munisos hesitated for a moment.

"do not know."

Everyone shook their heads.

After all, there were too many people, and if the other side insisted on escaping, it would be difficult for them to stay completely.

Munesus immediately said, "We must find him! Go and ask the Goddess of Fate to perform divination to locate him. He possesses over three hundred Dao Spirits bound by shackles, making him the strongest being below Hayes!"

More than three hundred shackles, they are too important.
