Dragon's Origin

#537 - Scare (below)

Could scaring someone with words make the World Honored One of the Divine Might Prison run away? How could that be possible? At least the three old Taoists didn't believe it.

However, just now, a master did leave quickly. They left so fast that even the three of them thought they might not be able to catch up. So, for the three old Taoists, there was only one conclusion: that person was not the World Honored One, but some unknown master.

Wang Sheng didn't explain. How could he explain? Drag the old Taoists to catch up with the World Honored One and then let him tell them in person that he was the World Honored One?

The Taoists who entered the Thousand Absolute Land had been waiting for a day. During this day, they had to divide a portion of their people to take turns using the Nine Character Incantation to drive away the constantly rushing insects, not daring to stop for a moment. Otherwise, those insects would frantically enter the crowd because of the sound-absorbing effect brought by the Nine Character Incantation.

There was no way around it. These Taoists had only been practicing the Nine Character Incantation for a few days, and they couldn't compare with Wang Sheng, who had been strengthened by the Pu Lao Transformation. Not to mention the current Wang Sheng, even Wang Sheng's initial effectiveness in using the 'All' and 'Array' mantras of the Nine Character Incantation to repel insects was not achieved, so they resisted quite strenuously.

The three old Taoists themselves had enough cultivation, so they were able to arrive the fastest. However, they were also exhausted by the insects that could be seen everywhere around them.

Anyone who concentrated their energy like this all the time would probably collapse after a long time, even if the World Honored One came. Otherwise, the Thousand Absolute Land would have been sifted through by these legendary masters long ago.

As soon as Wang Sheng arrived, the Taoists were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Wang Sheng only needed the 'All' mantra to make all the insects leave the crowd.

This alone made all the Taoists who were selected this time admire him from the bottom of their hearts, and their eyes on Wang Sheng were different again.

Although Wang Sheng is now the secular elder with the highest seniority in the Old Lord Temple, and all the disciples must salute him when they see him, those old Taoists who have had direct contact with Wang Sheng and have been guided and enlightened by Wang Sheng in the Nine Character Incantation have always respected Wang Sheng. However, those young masters who have never been in contact with Wang Sheng are not so respectful from the bottom of their hearts.

Until this moment, Wang Sheng's 'All' mantra, which came from the same source as them, made those proud young masters see the gap and see the shortcomings. At least their attitude towards Wang Sheng's cultivation in the Nine Character Incantation was a little more sincere.

Leading the old, middle-aged, and young masters of the Old Lord Temple, Wang Sheng began to brave the thorns and head to the ruins of the alchemy sect he had visited last time. It was also because Wang Sheng was very good at positioning and map reading that he was able to enter the Thousand Absolute Land from a completely different direction and accurately find the destination.

They were all masters, and they could all use the Nine Character Incantation. They all belonged to the Old Lord Temple, and basically everyone had no ulterior motives, so they moved very quickly. It can be said that they didn't waste a single bit of time on the road. In just over twenty days, they rushed from the capital, which was twice as far as Worry-Free City, to the ruins.

The traces left by the people of Baoqing Remaining Hall last time were still there, the stone door of the underground palace was still tightly closed, and the hole that Wang Sheng dug out from the edge was still there. Everything showed that no one had been here since Wang Sheng and Mei'er left last time.

“Clean up the top first!” Wang Sheng commanded the team and gave an order, and everyone began to clean up these ruins.

Wang Sheng easily drove away things like insects, leaving a large safe area. The Taoists quickly cleaned up the vegetation that had been growing here for nearly five hundred years.

This area was originally the location of a sect. Even if the buildings had collapsed, the foundation outlines were still there. Everyone quickly cleaned up a large open space with the gate of the underground palace as the center.

Now there is no need to build a heavily protected base like the one in Yubaozhai. Just protect the gate of this underground palace. Most people can live underground. There only needs to be a place at the entrance and exit where up to a dozen people can live safely.

The brought array stones played a huge role. After setting up a protective array, everyone took materials locally and circled a large courtyard of about 100 meters in radius with a batch of thick trees. The courtyard walls were those tree trunks, and hundreds of array stones were embedded in the tree trunks. Once activated, the entire courtyard could be firmly covered, and even the top would not reveal any flaws.

Several trees with huge crowns in the courtyard were not moved. This could block the line of sight from above and prevent them from being discovered by some flying monsters.

Then everyone began to build rooms in the courtyard. These rooms were also made of wood using local materials. Among the Taoist masters who came in with Wang Sheng, there were more than 30 who were good at construction. They were proficient in bricks, tiles, wood, and stone. In less than three days, everyone built several large wooden houses, distinguishing various functions, enough for everyone to live in.

It was not until this time that Wang Sheng opened the gate of the underground palace. This gate was also covered by a large wooden house. In the wooden house, a ventilation array was directly embedded. After opening the gate, it began to ventilate the inside non-stop.

The passage that Wang Sheng dug out last time was all backfilled and covered. The exposed area would affect the array inside and increase many uncertain factors.

The ventilation lasted for three days and three nights. It was not until there was almost no sulfur smell that Wang Sheng took the lead to go down. However, even so, for the sake of safety, Wang Sheng still used the 'Line' mantra alone to integrate into the array one by one, and carefully entered the array control area at the entrance of the passage below before sending a signal for everyone to go down.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the size of the entire underground palace, but they had to face another problem. There was only one entrance and exit here, and there were no other vents. From a safety point of view, this was very unwise. If someone blocked the door like last time, it would basically be like catching a turtle in a jar.

The best solution is to open another entrance and exit in another direction, and at the same time add several vents. Volcanic gas is constantly released, which is ultimately harmful to health.

These are not Wang Sheng's tasks, but the work of those Taoists. The reason why more than 30 out of 100 people have the skills to build is to complete these. Before departure, Wang Sheng had told the Great Master and Old Ancestor Lingxu about these, so the preparations were very complete, and there were more than a dozen ventilation arrays alone.

At this point, the masters of the Taoist sect were completely satisfied. It can be said that this underground palace completely belongs to the Old Lord Temple. Whether it is cultivation or alchemy, there is enough space in the ground and underground areas. The rest is to constantly improve this underground space, then increase the safety level on the ground, and then bring more Old Lord Temple masters to practice.

Wang Sheng himself began another practice, observing alchemy.
