Dragon's Origin

Chapter 256: Daoist Heritage (Part 1)

Being treated like a monkey, testing one array after another, Wang Sheng wasn't angry. On the contrary, he was enjoying it.

Because from the second array onward, Wang Sheng discovered that the "Line" character on the giant stele in his Yuanhun space was slightly brighter than it was initially.

If this was just a psychological illusion for Wang Sheng, then after Wang Sheng paid special attention to the third array, he confirmed it.

Each time he sensed and integrated into a new array, the "Line" character on Wang Sheng's giant stele would brighten a little. This also meant that if Wang Sheng wanted to practice the Line character to the same level as the other eight characters, he would need to study a large number of arrays.

Continuously using different arrays caused the Line character to become ordinary and dim, instead of just having a tiny bit of light. At the same time, the Line character art seemed to have become more proficient due to Wang Sheng's repeated use.

The most obvious change was in time. Initially, Wang Sheng used the least amount of time on that most basic binding array, less than an hour. But for the second, more complex binding array, Wang Sheng used the same amount of time.

Outsiders might not have seen any difference, but the fact that a more complex array took the same amount of time as a simple array in itself showed that Wang Sheng was improving.

To verify this, Wang Sheng specifically asked several array masters to rearrange the first, most basic binding array. Wang Sheng used his military watch to time it, and it was indeed two minutes faster than the first time.

Two minutes may not seem like much compared to an hour, but it was a tangible improvement. Especially considering that Wang Sheng was a complete layman in terms of arrays, being able to do this was a miracle in the eyes of those Daoists.

Ling Xu, the old Daoist, was fine, but what did those expressions on the faces of the several Abbots who rushed over mean? Wang Sheng didn't understand, but he could see that they were full of anticipation.

Anyway, with Ling Xu around, Wang Sheng wouldn't suffer any major losses. And it wouldn't be easy for Wang Sheng to gather so many array masters on his own. With the help of a wealthy and populous power like the Old Lord Temple, Wang Sheng could save a lot of effort.

For more than ten consecutive hours, except for the time the array masters spent setting up the arrays, Wang Sheng was using the Line character art. After breaking ten arrays in a row, Wang Sheng was also reaching his limit. Even if his body still had enough strength, he was mentally exhausted.

The Line character art required sensing the complex fluctuations of the array, and each time Wang Sheng had to be fully concentrated. Being able to persist for so long was because Wang Sheng's willpower was very strong and his spirit was full.

When he saw the excited expressions of the Abbots, Wang Sheng came out of the array, already too sleepy to say a word. He sat directly on a futon at the entrance of the Scripture Depository and began to snore against the pillar.

"Old Ancestor, is it possible for him to do it?" The oldest Abbot looked at Wang Sheng's appearance and asked with some anticipation and worry.

"I don't know, let's start with the simple ones and try them one by one!" Old Daoist Ling Xu also knew the principle of gradual progress, but he didn't dare to guarantee that it would definitely work, he could only say try.

A group of Abbots, big and small, tasted the feeling of restlessness today. Wang Sheng was so tired that he didn't care about anything and snored loudly, but they couldn't be so idle.

It was obvious that Wang Sheng's experiments required increasingly complex arrays and more and more array masters. Therefore, the Old Lord Temple immediately issued an order, and Daoists from all over the country who knew arrays immediately gathered at the Old Lord Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, bringing with them their most proud array creations, the more the better.

Wang Sheng slept for more than ten hours before waking up. When he woke up, he was still sitting on the futon outside the Scripture Depository. He couldn't help but start complaining to the approaching Old Daoist Ling Xu.

"You guys really don't know how to treat guests. How can the host let the guest sleep against the pillar for half a day?" Wang Sheng's mouth was full of food, and what he spat out was all complaints.

"You still say that!" It was okay if the old Daoist didn't mention it, but as soon as he did, he almost got angry with Wang Sheng: "No matter who went over to help you, not to mention moving you to the bed, even if they got close to cover you with something, you would be ready to attack at any time. How afraid of death are you?"

Others didn't know the horror of Wang Sheng's attack, but didn't the old Daoist know? So seeing this situation, he simply didn't care and let Wang Sheng lean there.

It turned out to be his own reason, Wang Sheng chuckled a few times and didn't say anything.

The old Daoist waited for him to finish eating, without saying another word to him.

"By the way, what do you want from me?" Wang Sheng asked the old Daoist after he was full: "Yesterday, all of you Abbots, big and small, were there. Is there anything urgent?"

"Originally there wasn't. But after discovering the wonderful use of your Line character art, there is." The old Daoist didn't hide anything. Anyway, this matter would be said sooner or later, and there was no difference between saying it sooner or later. It could also allow Wang Sheng to prepare earlier: "I want to ask you to try to see if you can enter an array."

"Is it that simple?" Wang Sheng couldn't believe that so many Abbots were gathered together just for such a small matter.

"Simple?" The old Daoist didn't have Wang Sheng's big tone: "Not simple at all! No one in the Old Lord Temple, including this old Daoist, can enter that array, and they can't even destroy it. Do you still think it's simple?"

"You can't destroy it?" Wang Sheng looked at the old Daoist with some surprise: "Are you the current you or the previous you?"

"Current." The old Daoist didn't hesitate at all and gave the answer directly.

"Even if you have advanced, and you have also used the Nine True Words?" Wang Sheng was a little incredulous. The old Daoist's current cultivation can't destroy it, then what kind of array is it?

You must know that the old Daoist is probably not only in the tenth level, but very likely an unprecedented eleventh-level epic master. What ninth-level legendary masters, a dozen of them wouldn't be enough for the old Daoist to make a dish. Such an old Daoist can't destroy an array? What a joke?

"You can't bear to part with the Old Lord Temple's family property, right?" Wang Sheng still couldn't believe it: "So you don't dare to use your full strength?"

"This old man can only guarantee that I won't be injured if I use my full strength." The old Daoist replied very seriously: "How about it? Do you dare to try such an array?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Wang Sheng was overjoyed when he heard that there was such a powerful array! If he could break through such an array, then the Line character art would definitely be a great success. Wang Sheng even couldn't wait to face that array: "What's inside the array?"

"The most core heritage of our Old Lord Temple!" The old Daoist replied seriously without joking at all.
