Mushroom World.

Yang Zhu lay limp on the summit, his muscles convulsing violently, frothing at the mouth continuously.

His face was extremely pale, looking as though all blood had been drained from him...

His trembling hand slowly reached out to grasp Miduo’s hand lying beside him... then he completely fainted.

[Blessing: Vitality]

[Blessing: Gathering Spirit]

[Miracle: Please, ancestor, grant me strength]

[Borrowing Yang Minxiao’s Talent ’Qi Blood Fertility’ for Yang Zhu’s use.]

[Borrowing Yang Qiangyou’s Talent ’Dragon Essence Power’ for Yang Zhu’s use.]

[Borrowing Yang Fujian’s Talent ’Split Rebirth’ for Yang Zhu’s use.]

Multiple lines of golden light from the sky formed special shields around Yang Zhu, enveloping him.

Yang Zhu’s extremely weak body began to slowly recover with the help of these blessings and talents.

The light shining through the slit in the sky fell on Yang Zhu, and his cultivation technique started operating automatically...

Yang Genshuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This should keep him alive..."

Gongyang Lan was not anyone trustworthy, and Yang Genshuo didn’t believe her.

If they didn’t find a way to slip away, it would mean voluntarily putting their fate in her hands, life and death beyond their control...

This feeling had existed ever since Yang Zhu entered the Gongyang Sixteen Clans.

Surrounded by strangers, all highly skilled, any one person wishing harm upon Yang Zhu would mean his certain death...

Therefore, Yang Genshuo wanted to quickly find the Gongyang Family and find a way to escape that world.

Yang Fushuo’s son Yang Qiangding set out to trace the Gongyang clan people... But, alas, before that could happen, an incident arose.

The insolence and arrogance of Gongyang Lan pushed Yang Genshuo’s unease to the extreme.

Yang Zhu had to run!

However, under those circumstances, it was almost impossible for Yang Zhu to escape; even suicide was a luxury, which was why Gongyang Lan looked down upon Yang Zhu.

She believed Yang Zhu was incapable of playing tricks before her.

She wanted to uncover Yang Zhu’s origin... and the origin of the mushrooms.

In the electrifying moment, Yang Genshuo noticed a detail...

[Teleportation Mushroom] completed a charge cycle.

From previous descriptions: [This mushroom is a voucher for entering and leaving the Mushroom World and Outer World, but due to its extreme weakness, other abilities cannot manifest, and it is already in a dormant state, needing mushroom power recharge for reactivation...]

One sentence was added later: [Mushroom power absorption, fully charged: 1/10]

At the moment of the Rushing Mushroom’s death... the Immortal Mushroom [Teleportation Mushroom] absorbed ’mushroom power’, completing one charge cycle.

Yang Genshuo suddenly understood!

The perpetually dormant [Teleportation Mushroom] required mushroom power, which was actually the absorption of Mushroom Spirit’s energy!

One Rushing Mushroom could provide the [Teleportation Mushroom] with 10% of its mushroom power!

Absorbing 10 Rushing Mushrooms would fully charge the Teleportation Mushroom, reviving its space teleportation ability!

[Ability 1—Teleportation: Can activate the Teleportation Mushroom to enter other open Legendary Lands and integrate as part of the story background of that world without being noticed, also can teleport back to the Mushroom World (not usable).]

This ability not only allows him to escape the Mushroom World, but also lets him return to the Mushroom World!

Yang Genshou immediately thought of a way to replenish mushroom power!

[Entangling Mushroom]

Before ascending the mountain, Yang Zhu had tamed 20 [Entangling Mushrooms] from the foot of the mountain, making them his arms, coiled behind him.

They not only attack and bind enemies, but can also act as springing legs to fast jump, serving as a good aid.

But right now... there was no time to consider that.

Help or no help, survival comes first!

"Yang Zhu, feed your Entangling Mushrooms to the Teleportation Mushroom, let it eat them!"

Yang Zhu pretended to carry his mother Miduo back to the house to rest, actually feeding all the Entangling Mushrooms from his back into the Teleportation Mushroom’s mouth in his heart...

Mushroom power started rising rapidly!

After consuming 18 Entangling Mushrooms, the Teleportation Mushroom was fully charged!

[Initiating teleportation, returning to the Mushroom World.]

Buzz!

A flash of white light, the space before Yang Zhu turned into countless mushroom filaments... directly absorbing him.

Not space techniques, not any ability, but... a kind of mushroom’s rule.

Yang Zhu was free.

But, he paid a heavy price...

The death of one Rushing Mushroom had already caused his soul to ache until he couldn’t breathe.

And voluntarily feeding 18 coexistent Entangling Mushrooms to the Teleportation Mushroom... was nothing short of cutting flesh from his own body!

Comparable to slow death!

Yang Zhu almost couldn’t hold on, but thinking of his mother still in a coma... he gritted his teeth, painfully completed the self-inflicted ordeal.

Pulled one Entangling Mushroom after another out of his soul.

Without uttering a sound.

With the last shred of consciousness, he controlled the Teleportation Mushroom to return to the Mushroom World.

Then he fully fainted.

Not only the soul’s intense pain but also extreme physical weakness.

Yang Zhu had just come through a life-threatening ordeal.

"Luckily, I can grant him blessings, otherwise... not sure if he would ever wake up again."

Yang Zhu’s status is somewhat stable now.

But he lost his Rushing Mushroom and most of his Entangling Mushrooms, and after the Teleportation Mushroom activated, it became weak again, unusable.

"Always thought we must escape the Mushroom World quickly, it’s too dark here; going outside seems brilliant... but outside, facing darker human hearts."

"The two young people from the Gongyang Family seem harmless, but that female clan leader is truly a piece of work."

"She wants to play my family’s Yang Zhu to death..."

Though the opponent hasn’t shown intent to kill Yang Zhu, Yang Genshuo knows... she’ll soon act.

She’s keeping Yang Zhu around to let him find the places where the Mushroom Spirits exist.

If Yang Zhu can’t lead her there... she’s absolutely going to study Yang Zhu’s body.

By then, with the Teleportation Mushroom exposed, Yang Genshuo knows with certainty, even with his toes, what Gongyang Lan would do.

"Now it seems, the empty Mushroom World is the safest world."

"Recover well..."

"At least this time, we understood the usage of the Teleportation Mushroom, the next steps are clear."

Yang Zhu was left on that Mountain Peak of the Mushroom World to heal alone.

Meanwhile, Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min were still exploring Guangning City, Yang Genshuo had nothing to do for the moment.

"Speed it up?"

Yang Genshuo directly rejected his own suggestion.

Even though fast-forwarding would swiftly cover this period, Yang Genshuo felt there was too much to address; ever since he awakened from seclusion for 100 days, dealing first with the invading TW Organization, then analyzing the Yang Family, and establishing renewed connections.

Then the sudden opening of the Legendary Land and attending to Yang Zhu’s side constantly, along with the disappearance of Yang Feng, Yang Min’an, Yang Qiangzheng, and many other minor matters remain too numerous.

Too busy.

He couldn’t find time to properly think, constantly engaging his brain at high speed, overwhelmed with threads, momentarily clueless about the direction forward.
