Dragon's Origin

Chapter 567: Ranking (Part 2)

If we were to talk about which of the various vassal states was least likely to retaliate against Wang Sheng in the future, it would probably be the Song State under Song Yan's control.

However, the positions of both sides meant that Wang Sheng and Song Yan couldn't be together. Unless Wang Sheng was willing to be an adopted son of the Song family and become Song Yan's husband, and more importantly, Wang Sheng had to give up all thoughts of saving the girl in his dream. Otherwise, the Song family and the girl in his dream would definitely be in an irreconcilable situation, and there would be no way for them to be together.

“Next, it would probably be the Tang State.” Wang Sheng didn't reveal his thoughts. Manager Zhou then said the second-ranked vassal: “Before the enfeoffment, the Tang family had been vigorously managing the people's livelihood in their territory. After the establishment of the state, it became the strongest in terms of people's livelihood. There are also many experts, and they don't easily provoke others, but other vassals don't dare to provoke them easily either.”

“The third should be the Shi State.” The Emperor also nodded as he listened, and Manager Zhou became more attentive: “The Shi State's territory is second only to the Tang State, and the number of experts is not inferior to the Tang State. If it weren't for the fact that the main family and the branches were in turmoil for a while, who would be second and who would be third would probably have to be considered!”

“Let’s tie them!” Wang Sheng suddenly interjected, startling the Emperor and Manager Zhou.

“Why?” Manager Zhou blurted out subconsciously, only realizing that it was inappropriate after he said it. However, the Emperor also asked the same question almost at the same time, which prevented Manager Zhou from being too embarrassed.

“Why did the Shi State chase me down back then?” Wang Sheng didn't answer directly, but instead asked the two of them.

“Because you mastered the secret of upgrading second-rate Yuan Souls back then, killed a collateral descendant of the Shi family, and destroyed the map of the Peerless Treasure Trove.” The Emperor didn't remember very clearly, but Manager Zhou seemed to have an impression of everything in the world, and he blurted it out. When he got to the end, he suddenly revealed a horrified expression: “Peerless Treasure Trove?”

The Qiu and Shi states had managed to obtain a head start in entering the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land from various parties. It had been almost two years now, and everyone was certain that the Qiu and Shi states had obtained something in the Thousand Absolutes Land. Even Wang Sheng had obtained a batch; wasn't the batch of 500-year-old antique weapons that Qian Sheng Yuan was selling clear evidence?

“The Shi family chose first.” Wang Sheng only said five words, but the Emperor and Manager Zhou immediately understood what Wang Sheng was saying, and their expressions changed drastically.

What could affect the ranking, and was chosen first? What could it be? The Emperor and Manager Zhou basically had an idea in their hearts. If it was really as they guessed, it would probably have an absolute impact on the imperial family's actions.

The Shi family chose first, so there was no need to ask, the Qiu family must be second, and finally it might be Wang Sheng's turn. Moreover, it was likely that Wang Sheng only got some insignificant things. In that case, the Qiu family probably had undergone considerable changes as well.

If these situations weren't clear, it would cause them to have a wrong estimate of the strength of the various vassal states, which would lead to wrong judgments. A certain unclear action in the future might fail because of this, which would be a major event.

Since the Shi family had to raise their ranking, then the Qiu family probably had to raise it as well. None of these large families were simple. Back then, the Song family was bullied like that, but once their hidden strength came out, they directly climbed to the top. If the Song family had hidden strength, did that mean other families didn't?

“Actually, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, it would be a great opportunity for Manager Zhou and you to use your superb skills to explore the trump cards of each family.” Wang Sheng saw the expressions of the two and knew what they were thinking. He slowly picked up a glass of wine and drank it before slowly suggesting.

Manager Zhou respectfully refilled Wang Sheng's wine, put down the wine pot, and pondered Wang Sheng's idea in his heart.

Manager Zhou didn't say the rankings after that. The Shi and Qiu families had already been misjudged, so there must be errors in the other families as well. After returning, they would have to re-evaluate and re-investigate. There was no point in saying the wrong results!

At this point, the Emperor and Manager Zhou were no longer in the mood to drink. They hurriedly greeted Wang Sheng, and then the two of them went back to the palace to discuss with others. As for Wang Sheng, he was left here. Anyway, the Empress was still here, and so was Mei'er. Wang Sheng could do whatever he wanted.

While waiting for Mei'er and the Empress, Wang Sheng was also thinking about what he should do during this period. Cultivation was definitely necessary, but Wang Sheng also knew that just relying on regular cultivation in the Changsheng Duke's mansion would definitely be possible, but the efficiency would definitely not be high.

Before the secret of the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land was revealed, Wang Sheng must cultivate to the Legendary realm, otherwise, Wang Sheng would definitely be crushed to ashes. Without the strength of the Legendary realm, there would definitely be no way to survive at that time. This was Wang Sheng's premonition.

The Yazi Transformation probably wouldn't be so easy to complete. Even if it could be achieved, there would be no less killing. Yazi was made for this, and it was impossible to complete it peacefully.

Forget it, let's ask Old Daoist for some advice! If Old Daoist didn't have any good suggestions, Wang Sheng planned to go to the Shanyue Land to kill to his heart's content.

The Empress didn't make Wang Sheng wait long. After sitting alone for an hour, the Empress and Mei'er came out. Next, Mei'er personally escorted the Empress to the Dream Workshop, and then returned to the palace from there. As for Wang Sheng, he strolled back to the Changsheng Duke's mansion across the street.

“Old Daoist, how can I quickly break through to the Legendary realm?” Wang Sheng returned home, found Old Daoist, threw him a bottle of Wuliangye, and asked very directly.

“You?” Old Daoist took a sip and looked up to ask.

“Yes!” Wang Sheng nodded.

“What's the rush?” Old Daoist directly retorted: “You yourself said that haste makes waste, have you forgotten why you are re-cultivating?”

“To survive.” Wang Sheng smiled and replied. He knew that Old Daoist would definitely understand.

This reason was very powerful, so powerful that even Old Daoist couldn't refuse. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said: “Not for the time being, or, go back to the Old Lord Temple and look for it?”

Wang Sheng agreed without saying a word. Rose was still in the mansion. Wang Sheng directly instructed Rose to tell Mei'er, and he and Old Daoist left the city directly to go to the Old Lord Temple.

“Old Daoist, Mei'er is anxious to set a date, and you and the Grand Master haven't figured it out for so long?” After leaving the city and walking a long way in the suburbs of Beijing, feeling that there was no one around, Wang Sheng asked Lingxu Old Daoist: “Could there be any trouble in this? Or is Mei'er's physical condition not suitable?”

“You can see it too?” Of course, Old Daoist knew that there was no one around, and asked when Wang Sheng asked.

“There really is a problem?” Wang Sheng was shocked!
