Dragon's Origin

Hearing the old Taoist mention gossip about the Grand Master, Wang Sheng immediately became interested and hurriedly asked, "How long was the Grand Master stuck in the eighth realm?"

"Twenty years!" Old Taoist Lingxu held up two fingers, making a victory sign: "A full twenty years."

Being trapped in a realm for twenty years, or even fifty or sixty years, was unimaginable to Wang Sheng. But it was a clearly occurred fact.

"During those years, the Grand Master thought of many ways to seek a breakthrough," Old Taoist Lingxu recalled, looking up. "For a while, he vigorously promoted Taoism, hoping to break through through Taoist practice, and took many detours. It was also during those years that I, the old Taoist, couldn't stand it and left the Taoist sect alone."

"You old Taoist, your junior is trapped in a realm and you don't think to guide him, but you just run away yourself. That's not kind!" Wang Sheng couldn't help but complain, "Is that how you act as an elder?"

"If he hadn't tempered his temperament for these twenty years, do you really think he could have cultivated to the tenth realm in just a few years?" Old Taoist Lingxu proudly snorted again, speaking arrogantly.

Wang Sheng was immediately speechless. Wasn't this the same principle as what he was doing now? Tempering himself more in the eighth realm, wasn't it all about laying a solid foundation? When he reached the Legendary realm, breaking through would become easier.

"I understand!" Wang Sheng suddenly realized, and said to Old Taoist Lingxu, "The three Grand Envoys are also impatient. Otherwise, with their character of serving people in the imperial palace for a lifetime, they wouldn't need to temper anything. As long as they laid a solid foundation in the seventh and eighth realms, they wouldn't need decades to break through."

When it comes to tempering temperament, is there anything more effective than serving people humbly in the imperial palace? Unfortunately, Wang Sheng couldn't use such a method, but chose tedious carving.

"If I had understood this principle earlier, I wouldn't have wasted more than fifty years," Old Taoist Lingxu sighed. "Back then, I thought I was gifted and cultivated rapidly, but as a result, I copied Taoist classics for twenty years in the Legendary realm, and finally took a step forward. Alas!"

No wonder when he first met the old Taoist, the old Taoist said that the classics of the Lao Jun Temple were all copied by him. So that's how it was. This was not just a Taoist honor, but clearly a means of cultivation. Unfortunately, those who understood wouldn't say it, and those who didn't understand would never understand.

"But I, the old Taoist, am still not as good as you, and they are not as good as you," the old Taoist sighed, then became emotional again. "Even when we were tempering our temperament, we didn't forget to cultivate diligently. You, on the other hand, didn't even cultivate. Drawing inferences from other things, this drawing inferences from other things is good! Simply forgetting about cultivation, naturally, the effect is obviously better than our deliberate pursuit."

"Hey, old Taoist, don't praise me," Wang Sheng smiled wryly. "In the end, isn't it still because the owner of that golden hairpin is powerful?"

Speaking of the owner of the golden hairpin, the old Taoist's face suddenly brightened again. That was truly an unparalleled expert! Just seeing how people integrated cultivation into their lives, one could know what a brilliant cultivation method that was.

"I really don't know how brilliant the release of the aura on that long sword will be," Old Taoist Lingxu sighed again.

"Anyway, we'll know when the time comes, so don't worry about it," Wang Sheng smiled and said, "I'm quite curious, what kind of changes will happen in the core of the Thousand Severed Land if the aura on the long sword is really released."

A super monster being awakened can easily melt an iceberg, what will happen when the aura on the long sword is released? Wang Sheng wasn't exaggerating, he was really curious!

"Speaking of which, I was very surprised that you could so decisively listen to my opinion and abandon all the realm you had worked so hard to cultivate at that time!" The old Taoist also knew to go with the flow, so he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he talked to Wang Sheng again about abandoning his cultivation and starting over.

"If the foundation is unstable, of course you have to start over. What's so difficult to understand about this?" Wang Sheng didn't mind this very much. It was like when he was in school on Earth. If he failed an exam in a certain subject, wouldn't he have to study and retake the exam? If it really didn't work, he would have to repeat the grade. How normal was that?

"You say it easily," the old Taoist smiled wryly. "But in this world, cultivation is the foundation of one's life. How many people can honestly give up their cultivation that they have worked hard for for many years and start over? Do you think everyone is you? Eating hundreds of Creation Pills, and eating all kinds of auxiliary formations and tonifying pills as food?"

"Old Taoist, when I first started, I didn't even have a single gold coin on me," Wang Sheng couldn't help but retort with a smile when he heard the old Taoist's words. "Do you know how much I sold the methods for snow sugar frost and refined salt for? A good Najie ring, plus a Heavenly King Fist technique and some things that added up to only a few hundred gold coins."

The implication was clear, Wang Sheng made it clear that he relied on his own hard work for how many resources he had.

"Still that sentence, do you think everyone is you?" The old Taoist glared at Wang Sheng again and couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, your thoughts and practices are sometimes like someone from another world, out of place. But if you think about it carefully, there is a certain truth to it, which is really strange."

Wang Sheng almost gave the old Taoist a thumbs up. As expected of an expert, he could see at a glance that he was from another world. Unfortunately, the old Taoist was just describing it, not guessing the fact, and Wang Sheng would naturally not be stupid enough to admit it.

However, as Wang Sheng said, not everyone has Wang Sheng's determination, nor does everyone have Wang Sheng's financial resources. Who would be willing to easily give up their cultivation that they have cultivated for who knows how many years and start over? Not to mention the sisters of the Grand View Garden, in order to re-cultivate the Eternal Spring Heart Sutra, the most basic condition is to have Wang Sheng prepare 500 million gold coins, and everyone must not suffer or be tired, and must be beautiful and in a good mood, right?

How many people in this world can meet these conditions? Didn't the old Taoist himself have to be trapped in the Legendary realm for more than fifty years back then? Let the three Grand Envoys of the royal family re-cultivate? The moment their cultivation is abolished, I'm afraid it will be their death date. In a place like the imperial palace, can anyone allow them to live until they re-cultivate to their original cultivation? The Grand Master's conditions are good enough, right? Wasn't he also watched by the old Taoist for more than twenty years of dissatisfaction in Taoist practice?

The newest novels are first published on the sixth and ninth books!

"You promised the two girls to carve two concentric balls for them, why don't you hurry up and choose the materials?" The old Taoist looked at Wang Sheng excitedly and said, "It just so happens that I, the old Taoist, can also see how these concentric balls should be carved, and see if I, the old Taoist, can also become a grand master."
