Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 697: If You Don't, Someone Else Will (Part 2)

The Eight Great Families didn't want anyone else involved in dividing the core benefits of the Thousand Absolutes Land. Little did they know that those who couldn't squeeze in might be the most willing to see everyone get nothing. After all, it wouldn't be a loss for them, so why not?

They could only blame the Eight Great Families for being too arrogant over the years, relying on their strength to bully others. Not to mention, were those reclusive sects really reclusive because they were solely focused on cultivation and detached from worldly affairs? Wasn't that sect with the Creation Pill formula exterminated as soon as they showed a slight weakness?

"Alas, people's hearts!" The old Taoist shook his head. He couldn't stand this kind of calculation. Compared to the scheming outside, the issues in the Old君 Temple were trivial! No wonder the old Taoist could stay in the Old君 Temple for hundreds of years; there was a reason.

As Wang Sheng expected, the peace in the core area of the Thousand Absolutes Land lasted only half a month before being broken again.

It still started with stimulating the super beasts to erupt, still one by one being unsealed, and still from two directions. Triggering super beasts one by one caused less commotion, making it harder to be discovered and less likely to alarm the entire core of the Thousand Absolutes Land. However, Wang Sheng still sensed it.

"Someone has started!" Wang Sheng called out to Lingxu Old Taoist, reminding him to be prepared.

The old Taoist immediately became excited. He had been waiting here for almost a month, and finally, the time to act had arrived.

The expert who stimulated the super beasts was very cautious. He didn't immediately release his peak Legendary aura to provoke all the surrounding super beasts. Instead, he unsealed them one by one according to the map of the core area of the Thousand Absolutes Land. He was particularly skilled at unsealing, not doing it consecutively but leaving several formations between each one.

It had to be said that this method caused very little disturbance. At least, if it wasn't within the alert range of each faction, it wouldn't be noticed by everyone.

But this could only be concealed temporarily, not permanently. The Eight Great Families were in the middle of negotiations, and even the eruption of one super beast was a major event!

The family experts who noticed the commotion were shocked, but it was impossible to report back immediately. They could only send someone to the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land, rush to the camp, and then use a messenger bird to send a letter. This entire process would take at least four or five days, which was enough time for a peak Legendary expert to awaken at least twenty super beasts.

The families didn't know the exact number of super beasts being unsealed, but Wang Sheng was very clear. As super beasts were unsealed, the erupting auras were continuous in Wang Sheng's perception.

There were at least three people stimulating the beasts. They didn't seem to be trying to force negotiations. After entering, they followed their respective plans, stimulating the super beasts in the ice mountains in various areas with their auras. In less than five hours, they had unsealed the ice on ten super beasts.

"Let's add some fuel to the fire!" Wang Sheng called out to the old Taoist, then took out the snowmobile and started speeding around the inner circle of the Thousand Absolutes Land with the old Taoist.

Along the way, Wang Sheng didn't stop using the Six-Syllable Mantra and Seven-Syllable Mantra, causing the beasts within his range of influence to immediately leave the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land.

In less than two hours, the factions with people in the core area of the Thousand Absolutes Land quickly noticed that the beasts, both large and small, that they usually didn't dare to provoke were fleeing to the periphery of the Thousand Absolutes Land as if escaping a disaster.

What was going on? Even the most oblivious people realized that something big must be happening. The slight tremors throughout the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land some time ago, coupled with the recent discovery that someone was stimulating the super beasts without authorization, led even fools to understand that it was time to leave. Otherwise, why would those beasts, stronger and more adapted to life in the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land than them, not stay in a safe place and instead flee madly to the periphery?

The strange situation left the factions at a loss. Could they still stay in the core area of the Thousand Absolutes Land? No one could give a definite answer. Judging from the beasts' reactions, something extremely dangerous was about to happen. But from the perspective of seeking wealth in danger, the more this kind of moment occurred, the more likely it was to discover the most core secrets.

The leaders of each faction gathered important experts to discuss whether to temporarily leave the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land. It was a major issue, and even peak Legendary experts, who were outstanding in cultivation, seemed somewhat unprofessional in this kind of judgment. This discussion lasted for most of the day.

By the time the factions finally realized that more and more super beasts were being unsealed and the danger was out of control, it was already the next day. It should be noted that returning from the excavation site to the edge of the Ice and Snow Basin would take at least four days without Wang Sheng's snowmobile.

But Wang Sheng didn't intend to give them time. Just as the factions had made a decision but hadn't yet implemented it, just as the three experts who were deliberately unsealing the super beasts had continuously unsealed the fortieth super beast seal, Wang Sheng and the old Taoist had returned to the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land and made all preparations.

"Old Taoist, get ready!" Wang Sheng reminded Lingxu Old Taoist to be fully prepared.

The old Taoist nodded to Wang Sheng, giving him a ready gesture. Wang Sheng began to concentrate on that ordinary long sword.

The current location of the two was in the very center of the Thousand Absolutes Land, with the closest camp being the Xia family's vacant camp. The two were not in the ice house; on the contrary, they were all in the open air. Not only that, but the place where they were sitting was not ice and snow, but on a not-small wooden boat.

This wooden boat was also built by Wang Sheng before departure. It was all parts that could be assembled and used. Moreover, the shape of this wooden boat was specially designed by Wang Sheng. It was very wide and had a low center of gravity, so it would not capsize even in five or six levels of wind and waves. The wood was very strong, and a certain degree of collision would not be a problem.

The two were now sitting on the wooden boat, with sturdy ropes tied between their bodies and the wooden boat. The wooden boat was placed flat on the ice and snow, very flat and stable. This was Wang Sheng's preparation. Once some unpredictable changes occurred, this wooden boat might be useful.

The seal on the long sword was gradually devoured by the Taotie. The two thousand and forty-eight Taotie devoured much faster than before. In less than an incense stick's time, the seal aura on the long sword was completely devoured.

An unbelievably powerful aura soared from the very center of the Thousand Absolutes Land, instantly spreading throughout the entire Ice and Snow Basin.
