Dragon's Origin

Chapter 644: A Tamer Isn't Necessary (Part 2)

A group of old Taoists didn't utter a word, all silently bowing, their hearts filled with joy. They knew this was Old Ancestor Ling Xu's punishment, but also his guidance.

Didn't the old ancestor already carve two concentric spheres and send them back? Even the old ancestor and Wang Sheng are carving these things, so what does that mean? Even if it's just to temper the mind, it's still extremely beneficial to Taoism and cultivation! As for not allowing cultivation, there must be another purpose.

At this time, everyone is secretly happy. Does anyone really think the old ancestor is trying to trick them? Anyone who thinks that way is the number one fool in the world.

"You, you, you, you!" Wang Sheng hadn't spoken until the old Taoist announced the punishments. Then he reached out and pointed at four flying beasts, picking the strongest ones. After pointing, Wang Sheng raised his finger, pointed at the sky, and then drew a circle.

Under the incredulous gazes of the old beast tamers and the surprised eyes of the old Taoists, the four flying mounts that Wang Sheng pointed to seemed to understand human speech. They stood up and began to flap their wings. After a few flaps, the four flying mounts slowly flew into the air and began to circle the courtyard where the flying mounts were raised.

How is that possible? Several old beast tamers looked as if they had seen a ghost. How could this be possible? The flying mounts flew up on their own without their command?

An old beast tamer, as if not believing in evil, began to emit a series of strange calls towards one of them. That flying mount was under his control, and these calls were to summon the flying beast to land.

According to habit, when he called like this, the flying beast nearby would definitely land beside him without hesitation. However, today, for some reason, his flying mount completely ignored his commands.

Seeing this, the faces of the other old beast tamers changed. Three of them immediately came out and started making strange noises towards the sky. However, no matter how they called, the four beasts seemed not to hear them, still circling above the courtyard.

"When learning, be flexible and don't be dogmatic," Old Taoist Ling Xu once again admonished the group of old Taoists in the courtyard, and then whistled.

Two of the circling flying mounts immediately left the circling formation, slowly lowered their altitude, and flew down.

Before the two flying mounts landed, Wang Sheng and the old Taoist had already jumped up. As the flying mounts passed over their heads, each of them jumped onto one.

Immediately afterward, the two flying mounts soared into the sky, flying towards the southeast. The other two mounts that were originally circling also followed Wang Sheng and the old Taoist's mounts all the way, disappearing from everyone's sight after a while.

A group of old beast tamers were dumbfounded on the spot. The flying beasts they had raised since childhood completely ignored their commands. In front of Wang Sheng and Old Taoist Ling Xu, whom they had only met once, they obediently took off with a point of a finger and came down to pick them up with a whistle, completely ignoring the orders of their original masters. How could this be possible?

"Elder Wang's Nine Words Incantation is infinitely mysterious," the Grand Master said with a smile, not taking it seriously. "You guys still haven't really learned it thoroughly!"

How could the old Taoists in the courtyard not understand? Everyone had learned the Nine Words Incantation, and the 'All' and 'Array' incantations had similar effects, but they hadn't used the Nine Words Incantation flexibly in this situation. They couldn't help but feel ashamed!

Watching the four beasts fly away, another three or four beasts called out, seeming a bit chaotic. The Grand Master turned his head to look and suddenly smiled, "Be good, don't make noise!"

The three or four beasts that seemed a little flustered immediately seemed to have a backbone and immediately stopped making noise obediently, quietly maintaining their resting posture.

Then, the Grand Master turned to the Taoists and instructed, "Don't stand there dumbfounded. The old ancestor told you to be punished, why aren't you going quickly?"

Only then did the Taoists wake up as if from a dream. No wonder the Grand Master had not opposed the old ancestor's actions from the beginning. It turned out that the Grand Master had long known what the old ancestor could do, and the Grand Master himself could do the same. It was just that they were not flexible enough. They deserved to be punished!

"Remember, the old ancestor doesn't want you to cultivate," the Grand Master's voice came again. "Don't ask why, there must be benefits. Just do as the old ancestor says."

Everyone bowed and agreed, watching the Grand Master leave.

After a while, a group of Taoists came in. Everyone knew that they were here to replace them. Everyone was not angry. Everything they saw today had greatly inspired them. They happily lined up and went to figure out how to carve concentric spheres.

A group of barbarian old beast tamers were all in a daze, still not reacting. Before, they thought that it would not be easy for the people of the Old Lord Temple to control these flying mounts. Even if they cooperated, they would still be needed in the future.

These old men were thinking of finding a suitable time to take advantage and fight for better conditions. But seeing that Wang Sheng, Old Taoist Ling Xu, and the Grand Master could make these flying mounts as obedient as pugs with just a word, they no longer had any luck in their hearts. All that remained in their hearts was rejoicing that they had not harbored any bad intentions and had performed well during this period, otherwise they would have been useless long ago.

Understanding this, these old beast tamers no longer dared to act arrogant, obediently cooperating with the newly arrived Taoists, imparting all their knowledge about flying beasts. They answered all questions and dared not hide anything.

"Old Taoist, some old disciples of the Old Lord Temple are not flexible enough!" Wang Sheng said to Old Taoist Ling Xu, who was not far away, in the air.

"Flexibility has its advantages, and honesty has its advantages," the old Taoist said open-mindedly to Wang Sheng. "Isn't that how the world should be? If everyone was like you, what would be the point of this world?"

"That's true," Wang Sheng gave the old Taoist a thumbs up. "But Old Taoist, we have to change course and go to the Song Kingdom first."

"To send concentric spheres to your female Duke?" The old Taoist broke Wang Sheng's purpose with one sentence and laughed, "Go ahead, you won't give up if you don't go."

As he spoke, the four flying beasts had already changed direction and flew towards the northeast. That was the correct direction to the Song Kingdom.

"By the way, you're not planning to just jump directly into the Song royal palace like this, are you?" The old Taoist asked Wang Sheng on the way, "Aren't you afraid that they will misunderstand and the Dai King's palace incident will be repeated in the Song royal palace?"
