The green core was the real body of the moss monster.
Since it had great aptitude towards absorbing natural energy he decided to raise it into a guardian beast for his kingdom.
He now had a new mission and that is to expand his influence in this world since the sense of urgency he was feeling since he was baptised by the heavenly phenomenon have become more and more urgent.
Always feeling the dread is not a good feeling but fortunately for him Hentai was the one taking the brunt of most of it.
He obtained the blessing of the world without suffering much all of it were thanks to Hentai.
Hentai was able to do this because it had become his Nascent Soul.
After capturing the moss monster he left the lake which had returned to it's former calmness.
Shadowslash became more and more sure that the Thousand Forest Continent was actually some kind of powerful power before.
The reason for this speculation is that all the beings living on this continent have great aptitude towards absorption if they trained in cultivation techniques their rate of improvement would definitely soar.
Shadowslash clenched his fist because he was extremely excited if this was true then he could raise a powerful army that would help him accomplish his mission in expanding his influence.
He then continue on his journey but this time he was using his spiritual sense to scan the are he was passing through.
Who knows he might encountered another being just like the moss monster.
He did encounter numerous monsters but finding another being that had managed to transcends might be hard.
And just like what he had thought he hadn't encountered another being like the moss monster.
But he did found numerous monsters at Crimson Gold Rank or Inner Core Rank.
He couldn't help but sigh as he realised that leaving the continent was both correct and wrong at the same time.
But if time was reversed he would do it all again.
Because of his travel he learned numerous things about cultivation and he also managed to get chosen by this world.
If he hadn't left he might been able to create one of the most powerful army on this world and safely level up to Xiantian King Realm both had ups and down but he rather improved his personal strength rather than be a king.
He wasn't that great as a king most of the time he left all the works to his subordinates what made him unique his is strength and ability to gather numerous unique individuals and forming a special group.
Because of his speed he managed to travel countless of miles in just a day.
During the night while he was resting he suddenly heard rustling noises which caused his expression to become strange.
He had already used his aura to secure the area and yet there are still beings that dares to come close to the area he was resting.
It is quite puzzling since most beings prioritized their survival and his aura was clearly a warning.
He then got up and flashed to the bush that was rustling suddenly he was assaulted by a raccoon.
The raccoon looks like a normal monster in the outside but Shadowslash instantly knew it was not a normal being no more accurate terms should be beings.
This raccoon was already dead the one controlling it were parasites made up of spores.
Considering that this raccoon was Silver Rank or Muscle Tempering Rank the main body of the parasite might be Gold or Crimson Gold Rank.
"Hmm, interesting wonder what is the stats of the main body' Thinking about this he quickly used his spiritual sense to scan the parasite spores and memorising their aura.
He then spreads his aura trying to find the main body only after a couple of seconds he could the main body.
He then flew towards the direction of the main body of the spores and arrived at a giant glowing mushroom.
But when he scans the mushroom he was taken aback as he realized that it was only Silver Rank which was inconceivable since it's spores was just too strong.
He then laughs out loud because he knew that as long as he could tame this mushroom his kingdom would obtain another trump card.

-----------
He freezes when he saw the stats of the mushroom if he hadn't seen the capability of its spores he would definitely think that this mushroom is trash.
Too bad Hentai was still recovering if not he wanted to have it scan this mushroom but since it was still offline he stored the mushroom into its storage.
He decided to clean the forest of its spores because he knew that this kind of harmful being would definitely cause great damage to the ecosystem of this forest.
It was easy for him to do but he found out something very interesting and that is a cave.
It this was a normal cave he wouldn't be interested but this cave actually belong to someone.
Someone not something, he decided to investigate the cave since it was so close to the area filled with spore infected monsters.
His eyes flashes when he saw the walls of the cave, the walls are filled with moss but he knew for a fact that these are no normal moss they are just like the giant glowing mushroom they are parasitic beings.
As he went deeper into the cave he started to realised that the giant glowing mushroom might have been artificially made.
It also explains why it is incomplete the only ability it has was speeding spores nothing else.
This cave is filled with parasitic plants and fungi but most of them are either Non-Ranked or Bronze Ranked.
As he went deeper he got into contact with more parasites of course all of them were destroyed by him.
He finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave, there was nothing but according to his spiritual sense the walls behind the vines in front of him was actually hollow.
He then smiled as he grabs the vines and burns them, the vines weren't decorations they are unlike the other plants that were only good at being parasites the vines was actually a vicious plant monster that sucks the blood and flesh of those that approached them.
He then entered the hollow hall and saw a skeleton that was filled with numerous kinds of mushroom.
Immediately he became disappointed because he realised that this person was the individual he wanted to meet.
He then stored his remains he decided to have Sans reanimate him he might have some uses.
Because of all of this he hadn't slept a wink so he decided to sleep inside the cave, he had his clones destroy everything in the cave including the parasitic plants.
The next day he quickly continue his journey because of his decision to run not fly his speed had deceased but it was still considered fast.
He left countless afterimages behind him the wind barrier serves nothing to stop him.
Sans and Leafinia were quite shocked that Shadowslash was extremely fast even though they are traveling rather fast but compared to his speed they are quite slow.
But the two quickly accepted this fact because Shadowslash's presence in their mind is omnipotent.
Shadowslash would sometimes stops and intervene if he encountered any evil deeds not because he wanted to be hero it was just to pass time because it was extremely boring for him otherwise.
Rumors about him started to spread because of his deeds from capturing powerful beasts to killing renowned bandits.
Shadowslash was indifferent to all this what he was now pondering about is the fact that he realised that the monsters and people in Thousand Forest Continent were really different from those from Beast Continent.
Even the beastman on Thousand Forest Continent is different from Beast Continent.
Unlike the beastman from Beast Continent the beastman from Thousand Forest Continent were quite compatible towards elemental energy and even if they were not they absorb spirit Qi naturally making them geniuses back on Beast Continent.
Shadowslash became more and more curious on what had happened to this continent and why it have fallen.
He then recalls the presence of Long Yi in this continent and remember what he had said about this continent holding some secrets about this world.
Fortunately for him there is already a person that could answer his question, probably.
The Leviathan.
The Leviathan was sealed in Thousand Forest Continent and considering from his condition he had been sealed for a long time.
He couldn't ask the golden figure guarding this continent because he always speaks in riddles.
He dislike people like this since it's just like he was saying both yes and no at the same time.
