Dragon's Origin

After a few breaths, the two continued to dive. Actually, neither of them needed to surface for air, but since they would be bringing others in later, Wang Sheng had to prepare for them if he didn't want to reveal too much of his equipment.

The passage was long. After about a few hundred meters, there was another place to breathe. After swimming underwater for a good few miles, they finally reached the end. Emerging from the water and shining their flashlights, they discovered another passage almost identical to the one underwater, except it wasn't submerged.

"Continue forward or go back and bring them over?" Wang Sheng asked Old Daoist Lingxu.

"Let's go back and bring them," the old Daoist pondered for a moment before replying. "After all, this isn't just a matter for my Old Lord Temple."

Wang Sheng nodded. Then, he and the old Daoist left two torches here. He found a relatively thin rope in his storage ring, tied one end here, and took the other end with him as he went back into the water, unwinding the rope little by little, as a guide for those underwater.

At each place where they could breathe, Wang Sheng tied a rope end in a conspicuous spot, all the way back to the well. Fortunately, the rope was long enough to connect from one end to the other.

The Grand Master and the five Sect Leaders had been waiting anxiously. If Old Daoist Lingxu's cultivation hadn't been so strong, reassuring them, they would have worried that Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu had met with some misfortune.

Finally hearing Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu's voices from below, everyone's spirits lifted. Two Sect Leaders personally turned the winch, hoisting the two of them up from below.

As soon as they came up, the two drenched figures startled everyone. Were they going into the water again?

"There's no danger below, just a stretch of water to cross," Old Daoist Lingxu briefly explained the situation below, leaving everyone speechless. The founding master left behind a legacy, but actually made his later disciples go through such trouble. They really didn't know what the founding master was thinking.

"Be content!" Wang Sheng seemed to guess what everyone was thinking from their expressions, and jokingly said, "It's good that the founding master didn't leave any killing traps in the passage. It's just a stretch of water. I've already left a rope. Everyone can follow the rope if they can't see in the dark."

As for holding their breath for a while, Wang Sheng didn't mention it at all. The Grand Master and the Sect Leaders' cultivation was enough to last a long time.

"The founding master wants us later disciples to receive the legacy, not kill us," the Grand Master said with a smile, finding Wang Sheng's words amusing. "Leaving killing traps in the passage, who would he be guarding against?"

Having already arrived here, knowing that there was a path below, who would be willing to stop here? Everyone discussed it briefly and decided to go down together.

With Wang Sheng's rope leading the way, even in the darkness, everyone didn't have to worry about getting lost. As long as they carefully held onto the rope, even those who couldn't swim could hold their breath and walk through the lake bottom.

However, underwater was slow. Without Wang Sheng's underwater propulsion device, it took everyone twice as long as Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu's one-way trip to walk and swim through. Keep in mind that Wang Sheng and the old Daoist had searched the lake bottom for a while when they went in, in addition to the time spent exploring.

Soaked to the bone when they came ashore, everyone didn't bother changing clothes. With a little bit of cultivation, their clothes were dried in a few minutes. Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu held up the torches and continued forward along the passage that no one had ever walked through before.

What followed was smooth sailing, with no more twists and turns. After some time, Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu stopped at a natural stone cave.

Before the others had even entered the stone cave, they had already sensed the powerful array fluctuations inside. Everyone's hearts surged, and they rushed into the stone cave.

With the light from the torches in Wang Sheng and Old Daoist Lingxu's hands, everyone saw the scene inside the stone cave.

The stone cave wasn't small, big enough to hold hundreds of people. However, in the very center of this large stone cave that could hold hundreds of people, a huge stone pillar stood like a giant, supporting the ground and the roof of the cave.

The stone pillar was as thick as four people could embrace. In fact, the stone pillar wasn't a complete pillar. At least a quarter of the stone pillar was hollowed out on the side facing everyone. The strong array fluctuations were coming from this stone pillar.

In the hollowed-out space, a green sphere floated in the air. They couldn't tell what material it was made of for the time being. It didn't seem to be supported by anything above or below, just floating there abruptly, which was very strange.

The green sphere was the size of a soccer ball and was slowly rotating. The patterns on it were constantly changing, never completely the same at any moment.

Outside the green sphere was a translucent barrier. The barrier was highly transparent, allowing people to clearly see the situation inside, but also easily see the barrier itself.

"This, could this be the inheritance array?" Wang Sheng looked at the green sphere and felt the strong array fluctuations, asking Old Daoist Lingxu.

"Probably!" The old Daoist hadn't come into contact with it before and wasn't sure.

But whether it was the old Daoist or Wang Sheng, or the Grand Master or the other Sect Leaders, they all understood that this must be the inheritance array. After spending so long in the land of inheritance, everyone had finally seen what the inheritance array looked like.

"Wasn't it supposed to be a scroll?" Wang Sheng looked at this rotating and changing green sphere, not knowing how to describe his feelings. If it were a scroll, everyone could browse through the information and find something they were interested in. But how could they obtain the inheritance from such a green sphere floating in the air?

"Try it?" The old Daoist didn't answer Wang Sheng's question. No ancient book said that the inheritance must be a scroll. It was just everyone's guess before.

How to try? It seemed there was no choice but to touch it. A Sect Leader with a straightforward temperament took the lead, greeted the others, walked straight forward, and reached out to touch the rotating and changing green sphere.

Obviously, he couldn't directly touch the green sphere. This touch only landed on the translucent barrier outside.

Nothing happened when he first touched it. Just when everyone was surprised, a sudden change occurred. A surge of overwhelming power suddenly came from the barrier. The Sect Leader who touched it didn't even have a chance to resist, and was suddenly sent flying into the air.

When he landed, the old Daoist had already caught him below with quick eyes and hands. But even with the old Daoist's cultivation, using the soft force of Tai Chi, he was still knocked back three steps by the force from that Sect Leader's body.

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped. They had already entered the land of inheritance and seen the inheritance array. If they didn't even have a chance to touch it, this joke would be too big.
