Dragon's Origin

“Oh, right, aren't you going to check the aura on that long sword?” Wang Sheng suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Old Daoist Lingxu.

Wang Sheng had three goals in coming here. One was to complete the transformation to become a Gonggong, which he had already achieved. The second was to conquer the snow eagle and obtain a flying mount, which was barely half complete, maybe even less. The third was to sense the aura on the golden hairpin and the long sword. He had already sensed the aura on the golden hairpin, but not on the long sword. Now, Wang Sheng was asking about what to do with that long sword.

“I thought about it, and you're right. Once we unlock the seal on the long sword here, I'm afraid all the super demon beasts will be awakened,” the old daoist said sincerely to Wang Sheng. “I believe you wouldn't want to see that happen either.”

“Are you so confident in the aura on the long sword?” Wang Sheng was puzzled. Before, Wang Sheng had only been guessing and didn't know what the actual aura would be like. Why was the old daoist so convinced?

“I don't know what's on the long sword, but I'm sure it's at least no worse than the golden hairpin, right?” The old daoist asked with a smile.

“Of course!” Wang Sheng completely agreed with that. The long sword definitely had the aura of battle, not the aura of ordinary cultivation and life, and its impact on the two of them would definitely not be weaker than the golden hairpin.

“These days, my control over spiritual Qi has also improved a lot, and I have some insights,” the old daoist said directly. “I have a feeling that the opportunity for a breakthrough is right in front of me. When I get back, I'll look through those scrolls in the Hall of Supreme Treasures again to see if I can gain anything.”

“That's a good thing!” Wang Sheng was also happy for the old daoist, but what did this have to do with the aura on the long sword?

“Once the aura of the long sword is released, I'm afraid I will be passively promoted without realizing it,” the old daoist expressed his concern. “I haven't completely figured it out yet, and I don't want to be promoted so early. Once I trigger the spiritual Qi to temper my body, that movement will probably immediately awaken all the super demon beasts.”

Wang Sheng immediately understood. The old daoist wasn't worried about the aura on the long sword awakening the super demon beasts, but about the old daoist's own aura causing problems. A twelfth-level master could definitely affect the entire core area of ​​the Thousand Layered Earth, which was no joke.

As for why the old daoist didn't want to level up immediately, that was easy to understand. Even Wang Sheng himself hoped to be fully prepared before leveling up, and even wanted to over-complete after his primordial spirit met the conditions. Was it strange that the old daoist thought so?

Moreover, rapid upgrading wasn't necessarily a good thing. Wang Sheng had upgraded quickly before, but his spiritual Qi cultivation wasn't solid. In the end, he had to re-cultivate by treating Sister Qiangwei to make up for the flaws.

That was when Wang Sheng only had a seventh-level cultivation base. The old daoist was at the twelfth level, so he couldn't be reckless. At his level, every step forward was probably cautious, creating a situation that no predecessor had ever had. How could he be sloppy and promoted when he wasn't completely prepared?

A golden hairpin had already captivated the two of them, and a complete long sword was probably something that the two of them couldn't control right now. Even if they wanted to unlock the seal, they would have to wait until the core of the Thousand Layered Earth had been explored.

The old daoist made a decision, and Wang Sheng completely agreed. So, the two of them collectively said goodbye to the heavy snow, and after parachuting from the sky again, they rode the snowmobile and quickly left the glacier basin.

Having become accustomed to suddenly entering and exiting the core of the Thousand Layered Earth, Wang Sheng and the old daoist were now completely unaffected by decompression sickness. They could enter and exit whenever they wanted, which was really convenient.

Back in the underground palace of the Old Monarch Temple, A'qi had been waiting anxiously. Again, ignoring the gazes of others, she threw herself into Wang Sheng's arms. It took a long time to appease A'qi before she calmed down. However, Wang Sheng could feel an indescribable anxiety in A'qi's heart. He didn't know what had happened.

“Let's go back to the capital!” Wang Sheng didn't stay in the underground palace for long. He only stayed for a day to rest, and immediately set off on the return journey with the old daoist.

“Your Grace, I want to go back to Worry-Free City.” Faced with Wang Sheng's decision, A'qi expressed her unwillingness to return to the capital with Wang Sheng with a complicated expression.

The old daoists of the Old Monarch Temple knew that Wang Sheng had Mei'er and Qiangwei in the capital, so they seemed to understand A'qi's starting point for not wanting to return to the capital. Even Old Daoist Lingxu thought so.

But Wang Sheng knew that A'qi must be hiding something from him.

“A'qi, a super master in Worry-Free City has a grudge against me.” Wang Sheng didn't hide the fact that his relationship with Worry-Free City hadn't been good recently, warning A'qi, “It may not be safe for you to return to Worry-Free City.”

Faced with Wang Sheng's sudden frankness, A'qi was a little caught off guard. After struggling for a while, she finally shook her head: “Your Grace, the capital is not suitable for me.”

“If there's anything difficult, tell me, and I'll take care of it for you.” Wang Sheng said to A'qi very seriously, “Did the Xia family get a hold of your weakness, so you have no choice but to submit? If so, I can talk to the Xia family and won't make things difficult for you. Believe me, the Xia family won't fall out with me because of you.”

There are many film and television works on Earth where misunderstandings can actually be resolved with a frank conversation, but they have to be misunderstood for many episodes. Wang Sheng didn't want such bloody things to happen around him, so Wang Sheng asked directly.

With Wang Sheng's current influence, plus the map of the core of the Thousand Layered Earth that was about to be sold, it was definitely not difficult to get a loyal follower like A'qi completely free. Now, it was up to whether A'qi believed in Wang Sheng or not.

A'qi didn't expect Wang Sheng to ask so directly. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. After a while, she emotionally threw herself into Wang Sheng's arms, hugging Wang Sheng tightly and not letting go.

Wang Sheng also silently hugged A'qi's delicate body, quietly waiting for her answer.

“Your Grace, I have a reason to go, you believe me, I won't do anything to let you down.” Finally, A'qi opened her mouth: “An old acquaintance of the Xia family once told me that I may have a younger brother in the Xia family, and I need to confirm it.”

“Not a high-level member of the Xia family, just an old acquaintance of the Xia family?” Wang Sheng frowned and asked A'qi.

“Yes, so I don't know if it's true or false.” A'qi expressed her concerns: “Even if Your Grace comes forward, they can deny everything, so it's better for me to confirm it myself.”

“Damn it!” Wang Sheng couldn't help but curse. These big families really do things impeccably, no one officially admits it, but you can't dare not believe it. Even if Wang Sheng came forward, it would be useless.
