Dragon's Origin

Chapter 150: Leading the Way (Part 1)

Wang Sheng was pondering the process and was about to nod when he suddenly realized something was wrong! If these sealing formations and such were set up by the five great families, the royal family, and those few sects, then how could they not enter the Thousand绝之地 (Thousand Severance Land)?

With his suspicion, Wang Sheng asked the question and waited for the old Daoist to give him an answer.

"You ask me? Who am I supposed to ask?" The old Daoist rolled his eyes and gave Wang Sheng a rogue-like answer. Seeing Wang Sheng's confused look, he couldn't help but add, "Don't even mention me, even the five great families themselves don't understand how the sealing formations personally set up by their ancestors have become like this."

"Do you know what happened after the sealing formation was set up back then?" the old Daoist asked.

Wang Sheng shook his head directly. He was joking. This was something that happened five hundred years ago. How could someone who only came to this world a little over a year ago possibly know?

"More than a dozen people died on the spot who were setting up the formation. The remaining experts were also in a flurry before they managed to activate the formation. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have been able to activate the formation," the old Daoist said, describing the scene as if he had witnessed it himself. "As soon as the formation was activated, it almost exploded on the spot. Those guys were so scared that they desperately maintained the formation, setting up dozens of layers, and then they fled the Lin family as if they had seen a ghost."

"Thousand Severance Land became strange at that time," the old Daoist also knew that Wang Sheng couldn't possibly know more than him, so he didn't ask anything, just narrated, "After that, in less than two years, no one could enter Thousand Severance Land anymore. It's okay to come out immediately after entering, but if you stay for a few more days, you will definitely die."

"The Xia family, Gan family, and Feng family were actually the largest aristocratic families of the previous dynasty, but they fell into decline," the old Daoist, since he was going to talk about it, simply explained the whole story clearly. "The five great families, Song family, Tang family, Dai family, Qiu family, and Shi family, took advantage of the situation and overthrew the previous dynasty. They then divided the spoils unevenly and gave the throne to the then-surviving Su family, which had little power left. Each party delineated territory and formed the current situation."

Wang Sheng now knew the origins, camps, and grievances of these aristocratic families. He also barely knew the origin of Thousand Severance Land. Of course, more importantly, he knew the news of the girl in his dream and knew about the Phoenix Origin Soul. He also knew why Song Yan said that the Phoenix Origin Soul was a taboo that couldn't be mentioned.

The old Daoist knew far more than Wang Sheng expected, but Wang Sheng didn't ask what channels the old Daoist knew through. Even if he asked, the old Daoist might not answer. However, it was certain that the Daoist sect at that time must have been like it is now, adhering to the principle of being both involved and detached from the world, not competing with any party, so that it could survive to this day.

Having basically said all of this, the old Daoist had done almost everything he had promised Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng himself sat there and carefully read the scrolls that the old Daoist had found again.

This wasn't because Wang Sheng didn't trust the old Daoist's words, but because the old Daoist was talking about the general process, and there might be omissions in the details. The scrolls, on the other hand, must have contained a more comprehensive record. The more he knew, the more he would understand the reasons.

After finally finishing reading all of this, it was time for Wang Sheng to say goodbye. He knew what he wanted to know, and the old Daoist was about to go into seclusion. Wang Sheng was staying in the Old Monarch Temple, Wang Sheng trusted the old Daoist, but he might not trust the other Daoists.

"I'm leaving, old Dao," Wang Sheng said goodbye to Ling Xu old Daoist.

The old Daoist waved his hand and didn't say much.

"Remember, my name is Wang Sheng," Wang Sheng reported his name to the old Daoist. "When you come out of seclusion, I will come to you for a drink again."

As soon as Wang Sheng stepped out of the Scripture Pavilion, the door behind him immediately closed. Wang Sheng knew that the old Daoist was eager to go into seclusion and comprehend, and had stubbornly finished telling him all of this to settle his grievances and face it with the most relaxed attitude.

On the way from the Scripture Pavilion to the Old Monarch Temple, no one came to bother Wang Sheng. Even if they saw him, they pretended not to see him. It must be said that the Old Monarch Temple was very outstanding in some aspects, at least in terms of organizational ability.

After going out, Wang Sheng naturally put on his mask again, and then hurried to Worry-Free City.

Although Ling Xu old Daoist's judgment was that the girl in his dream must have died after so many years, Wang Sheng still had a glimmer of hope. For no other reason than the sentence the girl in his dream said to him, "Kill me!"

Under what circumstances would someone say the words 'kill me'? There are many possible situations for suicide: heartbreak, pain, world-weariness, etc. But under what circumstances would someone ask someone else to kill them? Captured and not wanting to reveal secrets, suffering from a serious illness and unable to live or die, etc.

The premise is that one is no longer able to kill oneself, but has to endure unbearable pain, which is why one would have such a desire for liberation.

The girl in his dream was sealed, so she couldn't kill herself. A dignified master invincible in the world, trapped in a small room, unable to live or die, this is probably the fundamental reason why the girl in his dream wanted Wang Sheng to kill her, right?

Perhaps this sentence was said five hundred years ago. Wang Sheng traveled to this world, but he was no longer at the same point in time as the girl. The girl was already a figure from five hundred years ago.

Perhaps, as the old Daoist said, and as Wang Sheng expected, the girl had already died five hundred years ago. After being sealed, without food or drink, even someone made of iron couldn't last a few months, let alone five hundred years.

But no matter what, Wang Sheng had to see it with his own eyes to believe it. The beautiful eyes of the girl in his dream had flashed before Wang Sheng's eyes countless times. He would never give up without seeing it with his own eyes.

Also, what is the relationship between the combat awareness little person and the girl in his dream? What is the connection with Thousand Severance Land? Why can it warn when entering Thousand Severance Land, but completely lose this magical ability even one step out of Thousand Severance Land? Is it possible that the girl in his dream is blessing him in the dark?

It's the most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Having been in this world for so long, Wang Sheng finally knew that the girl in his dream's surname was Lin. He just didn't know her name. Wang Sheng believed that it must be a very beautiful name.

Few people in the world knew about Wang Sheng's new face. Along the way, Wang Sheng also acted low-key, and arrived near Worry-Free City with almost no obstacles.

In a deserted place, Wang Sheng changed his mask to one of the ordinary masks he bought in Worry-Free City. Now, as long as someone is interested, they can recognize that he is a killer from Worry-Free City. Outside Worry-Free City, this is simply not a problem. Wang Sheng wore this mask and swaggered into Worry-Free City from the normal direction.

As soon as he entered the city, Wang Sheng took off his mask. Regardless of whether anyone saw him, he went straight to the Killer Hall.
