Dragon's Origin

"As for when exactly the Perpetual Killing Zone formed, after sifting through countless records, the most detailed information I could find is still vague. Estimating, it's roughly four hundred to just under five hundred years ago," Ling'er said to Wang Sheng, having eaten and drank her fill, as she began to recount the information on the Perpetual Killing Zone.

Ling'er sat far away, looking disdainfully at Wang Sheng's clumsy and slow movements, shaking her head as she spoke.

Ling'er couldn't understand anything profound about Tai Chi, and neither could Han Bingli nor the Shadow Old Eunuch. They watched Wang Sheng practice clumsily every day, not thinking it was anything profound, only assuming that Wang Sheng couldn't control his strength, so he was deliberately moving slowly to avoid accidentally losing control.

Wang Sheng didn't care about their opinions, listening while practicing: "Continue!"

How the Perpetual Killing Zone was formed is no longer verifiable. Even the documented information held by the five great families is beyond the reach of a large chain business like Yu Baozhai. All they can do is improve and summarize from various hearsay. Ling'er has done an excellent job in this regard.

In the stories passed down, there are three possibilities for the formation of the Perpetual Killing Zone.

"One is that the original Perpetual Killing Zone was a cultivation sect that was destroyed for some unknown reason," Ling'er began to explain each of the three possible inferences: "But the sect activated some kind of profound formation at the last moment, enclosing the entire Perpetual Killing Zone, until it became what it is now after hundreds of years."

"The second possibility is that the original Perpetual Killing Zone was a large family, also destroyed," Ling'er continued with the second possibility: "Similarly, it was the family's formation that created its current appearance."

"What about the third?" Wang Sheng asked cooperatively. A storyteller needs a straight man, and occasional cooperation makes the telling smoother.

Ling'er was indeed pleased: "The third is a bit mysterious, so mysterious that it doesn't seem real, and it's the least believed."

Several theories are believed by some, but no one knows the specifics. However, since the third is the least believed, it means it's indeed a bit unreal.

"The third theory is that the Perpetual Killing Zone is a prison, a place of sealing," Ling'er said without hesitation: "It is said that the five great families and several cultivation sects created it together to seal a great demon."

"Indeed, it's unbelievable," Wang Sheng said calmly: "Why seal it? If they can seal it, why not kill it?"

Wang Sheng had always found it strange when watching those novels and movies on Earth. If they could seal the opponent and make them lose their ability to resist, why not kill them? In the end, the sealed demon always broke free and caused a bloody storm, which was too fake.

"So few people believe it," Ling'er agreed with Wang Sheng's point of view for the first time: "I once consulted several formation masters about whether there is such a sealing formation."

"What did the formation masters say?" Wang Sheng asked curiously.

"Yes!" Ling'er gave a definite answer: "However, such a formation requires continuous consumption of spiritual energy. Even with fixed spiritual energy resources, the sealed one would starve to death after hundreds of years. Could it be that those who sealed him occasionally sent food in?"

Wang Sheng nodded in agreement tacitly, and it was rare for the two to have the same opinion on the same matter.

Next, Ling'er told Wang Sheng many legends circulating outside about the Perpetual Killing Zone, but they were nothing more than someone discovering powerful monsters in the Perpetual Killing Zone, or a certain expert entering the Perpetual Killing Zone and never coming out, and so on.

"The most detailed is the story of you being chased into the Perpetual Killing Zone and then passing through it to enter Worry-Free City," Ling'er said to Wang Sheng at the end, teasingly: "There are witnesses and evidence, it's true and reliable, do you want to hear this part?"

Wang Sheng of course shook his head: "Forget about this part, I know more than you do."

One sentence dispelled Ling'er's mood to tease Wang Sheng. How boring! Anyway, everything that should be said has been said, and Miss Ling'er directly dropped a sentence "I'm leaving", and then left Wang Sheng's house very simply.

For Wang Sheng, the most useful of these materials are actually the first and second possibilities. However, Wang Sheng is inclined towards the second, that a certain family was destroyed.

For no other reason than that Wang Sheng had seen traces of ordinary people living in the Perpetual Killing Zone, which were complete villages. If it were a sect, they might not live with ordinary people. Only a certain family would have such an arrangement.

That so-called formation should no longer exist or has stopped due to insufficient spiritual power. However, after an unknown period of operation, it has nurtured many powerful monsters, which has led to outsiders being unable to enter at all.

But what does this have to do with the combat awareness little man? Wang Sheng couldn't say. In short, everything is a mystery.

"What are you pondering?" The Shadow Old Eunuch's voice sounded in Wang Sheng's ear.

Wang Sheng didn't hide it, in fact, he couldn't hide it. The old eunuch who lived next door had very good ears, and he must have heard clearly what Ling'er said and did here just now.

"How exactly was the Perpetual Killing Zone formed?" Wang Sheng asked the old eunuch, he was from the royal family, so he should know more, right?

"Don't know!" The old eunuch shook his head directly: "Even Worry-Free City only came into being after the Perpetual Killing Zone existed. The five great families also rose at that time, and my dynasty's royal family only united with the five great families to destroy the previous dynasty after the Perpetual Killing Zone existed. How many people know about the affairs of the previous dynasty?"

The old eunuch didn't ask Wang Sheng why he was asking about the Perpetual Killing Zone. Wang Sheng can enter and exit the Perpetual Killing Zone, it would be strange not to ask about it.

"Where can I find records of the previous dynasty?" Wang Sheng was not polite with the old eunuch and asked directly.

"Some millennium-old aristocratic families," the old eunuch replied directly without thinking: "Or those hidden sects that have also continued for a long time."

It would be good if the aristocratic families didn't kill Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng still wants to find information? Unless Song Yan comes out of seclusion, it might be possible. As for the hidden sects, they are hidden, where can Wang Sheng find them alone? A high-priced reward? Isn't that directly attracting hatred? Wang Sheng wouldn't do such a mindless thing.

Perhaps out of some mentality, the old eunuch seemed very happy for Wang Sheng to unravel the secrets of the Perpetual Killing Zone, and began to help Wang Sheng think of ways.

"Actually, there is another place that might have records of the previous dynasty," the old eunuch pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"Where?" Wang Sheng immediately became interested.

"There is one that is not an aristocratic family, nor a cultivation sect, but has also continued for thousands of years, and there might be something there that interests you," the old eunuch teased Wang Sheng a little, before answering: "Old Lord Temple!"
