Dragon's Origin

Song Yan's arrangement was such that no one could find fault. The other families were to enter first, with the Song family in the middle, followed by the remaining families. This way, Song Yan made it clear that she would not secretly manipulate things, which reassured the other families.

Each family naturally chose to send in experts with high cultivation and strong combat power to lead the way, to avoid being ambushed by anything inside.

However, this seemingly obvious choice encountered a problem.

Legendary masters were definitely the first choice for each family, including the Song family. But when everyone worked together to attack the formation, the master who was first in line to rush into the gap in the formation was attacked by the formation.

Boom boom boom, the sudden attack shocked everyone. Fortunately, the master who was originally going to enter first had a high level of cultivation and was very vigilant. Discovering the situation, he reacted in time and was not injured by the formation.

This was obviously not arranged by Song Yan. When the other families arrived, the Song family had not yet dug open the formation, let alone figured out the weak points of the formation.

After changing two masters in a row, the same thing happened. Song Yan seemed to remember what Wang Sheng had said, and this time she asked the Feng family to send a ninth-level master to prepare to enter.

Everyone worked together again to attack the formation, and the ninth-level master took the opportunity to rush into the gap in the formation. This time, the familiar formation attack did not appear, and the ninth-level master easily entered the gap in the formation and fell below.

Two more ninth-level masters were tested, and both successfully entered. When they were replaced by legendary masters, they were immediately attacked by the formation. After these few attempts, even fools could see that this formation restricted cultivation levels. Only those at the ninth level and below could enter; legendary masters could not.

Now, the families were dumbfounded. Among the hundreds of masters they brought, the vast majority were legendary masters. The ninth-level masters were originally just here to do odd jobs, but now they had to become the main force for exploration. Wasn't this a bit of a坑爹 (pitiful/useless)?

What to do? Several family elders were completely speechless. These elders had all followed the trend some time ago and advanced to the legendary realm in the capital. Now, they were blocked outside. On the contrary, Miss Song's cultivation was not skilled enough, and she had just reached the ninth level, so she didn't have to worry about these things.

Several elders discussed urgently and immediately decided to delay for a day and immediately return to their families to transfer ninth-level masters. For this reason, everyone had to wait here for a day.

The Song family did not have an advantage now, and the Song family also needed to transfer a group of ninth-level masters, so they readily agreed to the requests of the families.

Another ninth-level disciple was sent into the formation to tell the few inside to wait for a day. In fact, they didn't need to be notified. Those people below could look up and see the masters of each family above the transparent barrier, and they knew that there was no conflict, so they were happy to wait leisurely at the bottom.

Each family had to delay for a day, and this day was enough for Wang Sheng to walk a hundred miles in the underground river.

Submerging into the underground river, Wang Sheng traveled all the way with his equipment. Fortunately, these lake waters were formed by the melting of ice and snow from the glacial basin. There were no living things in the water, or rather, there were no dangerous goods in the water, which posed no threat to Wang Sheng at all.

Some parts of the underground river were submerged, but at least a quarter of it was exposed in some large caves. Wang Sheng could occasionally stick his head out of the water and rest and inspect in these large cave areas.

Wang Sheng had to carefully sense the surroundings along the way to find out if there were any formation energy sources such as lava, so the speed was relatively slow. After a day, he only swam a hundred miles.

As a sniper, Wang Sheng had a good habit of identifying directions and recording routes at any time and any place. Coupled with the sensory function of the combat awareness little man, he could easily locate himself underground.

Now Wang Sheng was still dozens of miles away from the most core area, but Wang Sheng had already noticed that there was a large area of underground magma ahead.

From the time Wang Sheng discovered the underground palace, he knew that there must be more than one place with underground lava in the Thousand Absolutes Land. Generally speaking, as long as a volcano or similar lava river appeared, there would definitely be a piece in the nearby area. Before, he did not find a second place outside, Wang Sheng concluded that it must be in the core area.

Now, feeling the lava lake with a wide distribution range ahead, Wang Sheng was completely relieved. The huge formation energy finally had an explanation. Only such a huge underground lava lake could have enough energy to maintain the unique climate of the Thousand Absolutes Land core for hundreds of miles, maintain such a terrifying seal formation, and restrain such a powerful super monster.

Wang Sheng was now in a large cave, not far from the underground river. But the underground river, when it came here, basically began to flow to another direction below, instead of rushing to the huge lava lake.

Sometimes Wang Sheng really sighed that the Thousand Absolutes Land was really amazingly breathtaking. There were huge underground magma lakes, glacial basins, and tropical rain forests. The Thousand Absolutes Land actually had countless terrains that were needed under certain extreme conditions.

What shocked Wang Sheng even more was that the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land, the entire glacial basin, was originally a plain, and then collapsed into a basin for some unknown reason. Under the powerful effect of the formation, the climate changed. After years of accumulation and freezing for a full five hundred years, the glacial basin became a huge piece of ice.

Now the water in the dark river is actually water vapor fixed by the formation for five hundred years.

Wang Sheng also felt a little fortunate that these waters had changed course here, otherwise, such a large amount of water rushing into the lava lake would definitely cause a catastrophic and terrifying change.

After a short rest, Wang Sheng began to search in this cave. The river changed course, so he could no longer go down along the underground river. He hoped that there would be a passage to the lava lake here, otherwise, Wang Sheng might have to consider using a hammer and chisel to open a passage.

There must be a passage, but he didn't know where it was. Otherwise, how would those who arranged the formation enter the lava lake to arrange it?

Wang Sheng checked very carefully, but no matter how Wang Sheng used the Nine Character Mantra, he couldn't find even a single passage to the lava lake. It was certain that this was not the area where those who arranged the formation had passed.

There was no other way. After Wang Sheng carefully checked, he finally made a decision. He found a direction closest to the lava lake, took out a hammer and chisel, and prepared to chisel out a passage.

This was all volcanic rock, the texture was soft, and he believed it wouldn't take too long.
