Dragon's Origin

“That’s it!” The strong man took one look and immediately nodded, without the slightest hesitation.

This key was kept in Grandmaster Qian’s ring, not locked in the Eight-Phase Exquisite Seal Box, so it was not surprising that Wang Sheng could get it. The people here in the secret land seemed to know this as well, so they weren’t surprised at all.

“Just having the key is useless.” Seeing Wang Sheng waiting for him to explain, the strong man spoke up before Wang Sheng could open his mouth, “Your Grace has also seen that the key has ten sections, each corresponding to a different angle of rotation, and any incorrect section will prevent the secret vault from being opened.”

“The lock of the secret vault is connected to a constantly running array. Once the rotation is wrong, it will be immediately attacked by the array.” The strong man was not afraid that Wang Sheng would know more of the secrets of the Exquisite Pavilion's secret land, and directly stated the most serious consequences: “Even a Legendary master would probably be unable to resist that array.”

“It’s necessary to get the method to open the lock?” Wang Sheng asked, frowning.

“Along with the key, there should be an Exquisite Seal Box.” The strong man and the old men behind him all knew this, and the strong man explained to Wang Sheng: “The method to open the secret vault is recorded in the Exquisite Seal Box. Only when Your Grace can truly open that secret vault can you be considered to have successfully taken over the Exquisite Pavilion secret land.”

“The keys to the Exquisite Seal Box are held by the eight elders, right?” Wang Sheng smiled.

“Yes!” The strong man also nodded with a smile.

“The method to open the Exquisite Seal Box is also different for each elder, so when we fight, I have to be careful and must not excessively injure them, otherwise the Exquisite Seal Box cannot be opened, right?” The cold smile in Wang Sheng's heart grew even stronger, but he still maintained a smile on his face and asked.

“That may really be the case.” The strong man seemed a little embarrassed, but he did not refute Wang Sheng's meaning.

Grandmaster Qian had a good plan. He calculated that Wang Sheng would come to the Exquisite Pavilion secret land, so he arranged the test of the eight elders. No weapons could be used, the elders also had the advantage of terrain, and Wang Sheng could not be ruthless. As long as the eight elders were a little ruthless, Wang Sheng would be dead.

Unfortunately, Grandmaster Qian's arrangement was only a precautionary measure and was not really arranged so carefully. He didn't think there would be any mistakes in taking fifty people to hunt down Wang Sheng. Excessive confidence caused Grandmaster Qian to completely lose his life, and also lose everything he had planned.

“Then if I don’t plan to go through the test of the eight elders and go directly to open the secret vault, what then?” Wang Sheng asked again.

“That’s also possible!” The strong man was not surprised at all. One against eight with so many restrictions, it would be better to go to the secret vault first and see if the secret vault could be opened without the elders taking action. So he also appreciated Wang Sheng's question: “Your Grace is said to be outstanding in cracking arrays, maybe you can open the secret vault without having to risk fighting.”

“Then, without the consent of the elders, can I still take over the Exquisite Pavilion secret land?” Wang Sheng finally asked the most crucial question. All the groundwork was actually for this question.

“As long as Your Grace can open the Exquisite Pavilion secret vault with the key, Your Grace will be the next Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion.” The strong man answered very affirmatively.

Not only the strong man, but also the dozen or so old men behind him did the same. Everyone had the same idea, whether they wanted Wang Sheng to die or not, without exception.

“Either Your Grace can pass the test of the eight elders and become the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion. Or Your Grace can open the Eight-Phase Exquisite Seal Box without the key, and we will all be convinced.” The strong man, on behalf of himself and the people behind him, said very seriously to Wang Sheng: “We have no objection to someone with better skills than us being the Pavilion Master. Opening the secret vault directly is the same, even if you don’t have superb skills, but you have heaven-defying luck, we will also be convinced.”

“I want to try!” Wang Sheng said to the strong man.

“Your Grace, please!” The other party was also very straightforward, directly made a gesture of invitation, and walked ahead to lead the way.

After passing through a long tunnel, the group appeared in a vast valley. Above the valley, countless vines were intertwined, making it impossible to see the things below from above. Wang Sheng also felt a faint aura of an array. There was an aura-shielding array above. Passing by from above or from several surrounding directions, unless one could probe into the details of the array like Wang Sheng, it would be impossible to discover the valley and the people in the valley.

There were many people here. Around the valley, there were many houses directly carved out of the stone walls. Seeing Wang Sheng following the old men in, they all came out, curiously looking at Wang Sheng.

There were old and young, men and women in the valley, and some could obviously be seen as a family. This valley was large enough, even larger than the first camp that Imperial Treasure Pavilion built in the Thousand Absolute Ground, enough to accommodate thousands of people. So many people, now doing nothing, came out and looked at Wang Sheng, whom they had never seen before.

Wang Sheng sensed the aura of eight Legendary masters, located in eight directions of the valley. Without asking, these eight people should be the eight elders, probably also Grandmaster Qian's last confidants, experts who helped Grandmaster Qian stabilize everything in the Exquisite Pavilion secret land.

Just by aura alone, Wang Sheng knew that he would definitely not be a match for the eight elders in a situation where he was one against eight, could not use weapons, and could not excessively injure his opponents. He could not hurt them, but they could act unscrupulously. Once a fight broke out, the result could only be death.

Therefore, Wang Sheng would rather use other methods to take over the Exquisite Pavilion. As long as he took over the Exquisite Pavilion secret land, what choices the eight elders would make would be up to them.

The strong man's surname was Wang. Many people here affectionately called him Uncle Wang or Elder Wang, and some naturally asked about Wang Sheng's origins.

“This is the ever-victorious Duke you often hear about!” Old Wang did not shy away and introduced Wang Sheng's identity to everyone.

Wang Sheng underestimated his position in the hearts of these people in the Exquisite Pavilion. When the fiery gazes of the surrounding people were fixed on him, and even four of the eight elders were looking at him with the same burning gaze, Wang Sheng realized how respected he was in the eyes of the world's top craftsmen.

Putting aside those personal grudges, the many incredible ideas and thoughts that Wang Sheng brought to the entire world were enough to make all the grandmasters in the world worship him. Most of the people in the Exquisite Pavilion secret land were pure craftsmen, their minds were purer, and their admiration for Wang Sheng was also from the bottom of their hearts.

“The previous Pavilion Master Qian had an accident.” Old Wang explained Wang Sheng's intentions in the simplest words: “The ever-victorious Duke has returned with Pavilion Master Qian's key, and he wants to try to open the secret vault and take over the Exquisite Pavilion!”
