Dragon's Origin

“No wonder!” The old Daoist priest Ling Xu was stunned, then showed a sudden look of realization. Other than that, there was no other reaction. He didn't suddenly jump up to subdue Wang Sheng, nor did he smash his cup as a signal for a large group of people lying in ambush outside to rush in and chop Wang Sheng into pieces of meat.

Wang Sheng looked at the old Daoist and suddenly smiled. The old Daoist was indeed an old Daoist, with extraordinary tolerance. His cultivation was high, but it was this demeanor that Wang Sheng truly liked.

“I was wondering, who would want to know the reason for the formation of the Perpetual Killing Land so much, and from the City of Carefree?” The old Daoist finally smiled: “So you can freely enter and exit the Perpetual Killing Land, no wonder. If it were me, I would also want to know what the Perpetual Killing Land is all about.”

“Then can you tell me?” Wang Sheng asked a little guiltily.

“Let's talk while drinking!” Old Daoist Ling Xu pointed to his empty wine cup.

Wang Sheng hurriedly reached out to fill it up, and chatted with the old Daoist while drinking. Of course, the old Daoist said more, and Wang Sheng listened more.

According to the records of the Old Lord Temple, the Perpetual Killing Land was formed before the rise of the current dynasty, almost a few years before the change of dynasty. The three possibilities that Imperial Treasure Firm gave Wang Sheng were not rumors out of thin air, but each one was correct.

The three rumors were: one, a cultivation sect was destroyed, and the sect's formation was affected; two, a large family was destroyed, and the family's formation was affected; and three, the Perpetual Killing Land was a sealed place, a sealing formation.

Previously, Wang Sheng always felt that the second one was the most likely, because Wang Sheng had seen traces of ordinary people living in the Perpetual Killing Land, with villages and living facilities. Now, hearing the old Daoist explain that all three were correct, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

The Perpetual Killing Land is more than a thousand miles in radius, and there used to be more than one cultivation sect inside. During that time period, two sects were destroyed, one called Divine Eagle Prison and the other called Crimson Bear Hall. Both were cultivation sects with notorious reputations at the time.

In addition, within the thousand-mile radius of the Perpetual Killing Land, there was also a leading family at the time, the Lin family. The Lin family was destroyed after the Divine Eagle Prison and the Crimson Bear Hall.

“You should be able to guess who did it, right?” The old Daoist narrated these things, all of which were recorded in the scrolls of the Old Lord Temple. Therefore, the old Daoist had a small interaction with Wang Sheng, which could be regarded as adding a little fun to the chat.

“The Five Great Families.” Wang Sheng said the answer without hesitation, and then waited for the old Daoist to judge.

“And.” The old Daoist prompted with a smile.

After pondering for a while, Wang Sheng added: “The current dynasty's royal family.”

Seeing Wang Sheng so smart, the old Daoist nodded with a smile: “They are involved. But there's more.”

“More?” Wang Sheng frowned, and suddenly remembered that the City of Carefree was established with the consent of the royal family and the Five Great Families. Could it be that the City of Carefree was also involved? With a half-believing attitude, Wang Sheng asked uncertainly: “Could it be the City of Carefree?”

“Bullshit, there was no City of Carefree at that time.” As soon as the old Daoist heard Wang Sheng answer incorrectly, he immediately uttered a curse: “The City of Carefree was built after the current dynasty's royal family took over the country, with the emperor and the Five Great Families agreeing to build it, initially built on the edge of the Perpetual Killing Land.”

Wang Sheng was about to continue pondering when the old Daoist had already given the answer: “Don't guess, you can't guess it. It's several hidden sects.”

Since they were hidden sects, irrelevant people probably wouldn't even know their names, so it was even more impossible for Wang Sheng to guess.

“Why?” Wang Sheng asked the classic question like a primary school student with a strong desire for knowledge.

“Because the Lin family produced an unparalleled expert at that time.” The old Daoist took a sip of wine and answered with a somewhat bitter expression.

As soon as he heard the words unparalleled expert, two words instinctively flashed in Wang Sheng's mind, and he blurted out without thinking: “Phoenix!”

Saying these two words, a burst of anticipation also appeared in Wang Sheng's eyes. The beautiful eyes of the girl in his dream seemed to appear in front of him again, and he seemed to hear her mournful voice again: “Kill me!”

Old Daoist Ling Xu's gaze suddenly sharpened, and Wang Sheng only felt as if two sharp daggers were cutting across his skin, making him feel cold all over.

This feeling didn't last long before the old Daoist relaxed, drank a glass of wine alone, and slowly said in a low voice: “You also know about the Phoenix. That's right, it's the Phoenix. That unparalleled expert possessed a Yuan Soul called Phoenix.”

“No one knows what the Phoenix is. What kind, what grade, how many acupoints can be increased by upgrading, no one knows these things.” The old Daoist seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, saying a sentence and taking a sip, and later felt that Wang Sheng's pouring was not refreshing enough, so he snatched the wine pot and poured it himself.

“Do you know?” The old Daoist suddenly asked Wang Sheng, of course, it was just a declarative sentence: “Even the two words Phoenix, in fact, before that unparalleled expert appeared, these two words had never existed in this world. These two words were created by that unparalleled expert herself, and later people habitually recorded them.”

Wang Sheng was suppressing his excitement and sitting there listening to the old Daoist, and just this action seemed to have exhausted all of Wang Sheng's energy, so that he could completely suppress his almost jumping up excitement. It has been almost two years since he came to this world, and he finally heard the name Phoenix again after hearing it from Song Yan.

This time it was more detailed, clearly saying that it was the Phoenix Yuan Soul, and even the two words Phoenix were created by that unparalleled expert.

However, Wang Sheng still couldn't understand why he and the girl in his dream had clearly communicated in the dream, which should be happening now, but why did it become hundreds of years ago?

Wang Sheng didn't believe that anyone else could possess the Phoenix Yuan Soul. The old Daoist also said that no one knew what the Phoenix was, so there couldn't be anyone else, it could only be the girl in his dream.

The Lin family possessed an unparalleled expert, the unparalleled expert had the Phoenix Yuan Soul, but the Lin family was completely exterminated. Could it be that the girl in his dream had already met with misfortune?

“Did that unparalleled expert of the Lin family die?” When Wang Sheng asked this question, he only felt an indescribable dryness in his mouth and lips, and he almost couldn't even utter these words.

“If you are referring to the records of the Old Lord Temple...” Old Daoist Ling Xu nodded, pointing to one of the scrolls and said: “That's right, she is dead, she died in that extermination battle.”

Hearing this answer, Wang Sheng almost collapsed. He finally woke up in time, the old Daoist was talking about the records of the Old Lord Temple. If it wasn't the records of the Old Lord Temple, or if there was a place where the Old Lord Temple didn't record, what would be the result?

“What about the records that are not from the Old Lord Temple?” Wang Sheng asked with a trace of luck, anxiously.
