Dragon's Origin

Wang Sheng's words immediately surprised everyone. They had thought they had observed carefully enough inside, but how could they have missed such an important feature?

"No need to be surprised. The circles on the stone wall are concave, while those on the Lao Jun statue are convex. It's normal not to think of it right away," Wang Sheng explained with a smile, giving everyone some face and a step down for not noticing the circles.

If everything Wang Sheng had said before was just speculation, even smashing the Lao Jun statue, then the fact that the Lao Jun statue had the same circles was almost clear evidence.

Again, it was a mistake made under fixed thinking, neglecting something that should have been noticed long ago.

The eyes of the crowd immediately began to circle around the Lao Jun statue, the hair bun, the jade pendants on the belt, the scroll in hand... Circles were seen in several places.

As Wang Sheng said, the circles on the Lao Jun statue were convex rather than concave, which misled everyone and prevented them from noticing these places.

Now, after careful counting, the circles on the Lao Jun statue, no more and no less, were exactly six, the same as on the stone wall before.

Thinking of what Wang Sheng said before, and then seeing the six circles on the Lao Jun statue, everyone couldn't help but sigh that their cultivation was still not enough, and they had not been able to understand the ancestor's painstaking efforts, let alone the true way of inheritance.

Just as the Grand Master said, the ancestor hoped that his descendants would surpass him and make more breakthroughs than the ancestor, but these unworthy disciples who were placed high hopes on by the ancestor were still entangled in the question of whether the ancestor's statue could be destroyed, which was really shameful.

Now that there was such a clear hint, everyone no longer doubted. After a simple discussion, they all burned incense and saluted the ancestor's statue, confessed their sins, and then began to use their respective key handles to match the circles on the stone statue.

The Tongming Sect Leader was not qualified and had no chance to participate. The key belonging to their sect fell into the hands of Lao Jun Temple. At this time, the Grand Master also joined in, holding a key and sticking it to the stone statue.

At the order of the old Sect Leader, everyone began to pour spiritual energy into the keys in unison.

Judging from the experience of the previous stone walls, this process would take at least half an hour, so everyone waited patiently.

"The stone statue may take a little longer," Wang Sheng reminded in a timely manner, so that everyone would not think wildly because of the long time.

"Why?" The old Taoist asked the reason for everyone.

Although they were outputting spiritual energy, it was only to activate the formation on the key. For the Grand Master and the five Sect Leaders, it was not a difficult task to complete. At this moment, everyone had enough time and energy to listen to Wang Sheng's explanation.

"Those three stone walls have slight formation fluctuations," Wang Sheng explained quickly without holding back, "The formations echo each other inside and outside, so it will be faster. The ancestor's statue has no formation fluctuations at all, and the formation on the key is completely needed to shatter everything, so it will inevitably take more time."

The reasoning was simple and easy to understand, and everyone understood it instantly. One was internal and external cooperation, a double effect, and the other could only attack from the outside, so the effect would definitely be different, and it was not unacceptable for the time to be slightly longer.

However, the Sect Leaders were all a little ashamed. They were clearly the Sect Leaders of the Taoist sects, and they had been in contact with Taoism for many times longer than Wang Sheng, but this time almost all the troubles were being solved by Wang Sheng.

Without Wang Sheng, they might have missed the land of inheritance from then on.

Everyone urged their spiritual energy while pondering. It seemed that Wang Sheng could understand the ancestor's arrangements better than everyone else. Especially the Grand Master and Old Taoist Lingxu, they felt this deeply.

From Tai Chi Fist to the Nine Character Incantation to the chapters of the 《Tao Te Ching》that Wang Sheng would occasionally spout, everything gave the two a kind of illusion, as if the true inheritance of Taoism was on Wang Sheng, not in Lao Jun Temple.

In the continuous input of spiritual energy, after a quarter of an hour, the Lao Jun statue also gradually began to vibrate, almost exactly the same as the vibration of the previous stone wall. The difference was that this vibration was deep underground, not a horizontal transmission.

With the vibration, everyone became even more expectant. If Wang Sheng hadn't explained at the beginning that there was no formation inside the Lao Jun statue, so it would take longer, everyone might have doubted it in the first quarter of an hour. After all, the previous three stone walls had the keys vibrating and the stone walls vibrating as well.

Now that they discovered that the stone statue was vibrating, everyone's hearts became hotter and hotter. Opening this door, the real land of inheritance was right in front of them. Everyone began to ponder what the real inheritance was.

This vibration continued for three quarters of an hour, adding up to an hour, before everyone heard a cracking sound. This was the sound of shattering from an unknown depth under their feet, and this sound also indicated that their efforts in the previous hour were about to see results.

The sound became louder and clearer from the ground. Just as everyone was expecting, the Lao Jun statue, more than two people tall, suddenly shattered like the three stone walls outside.

Everyone was prepared. At the moment when the stone statue shattered, they jumped away one after another, allowing the stone statue to completely shatter into pieces.

The scene of the stone statue turning into fragments scattered all over the ground that was imagined did not appear. All the fragments fell in place, and then fell into a place of unknown depth. When the fragments were scattered, everyone saw that the original position of the Lao Jun statue had completely become a black hole the size of a statue base.

Others didn't listen carefully, but Wang Sheng listened very carefully. After those fragments fell, Wang Sheng heard the sound of falling water after a few seconds. Below was water, about seventy meters high, about the same height as when Wang Sheng first came to this world.

The Grand Master and the heads of the five sects all gathered at the edge of the black hole and looked down. Only Wang Sheng and the old Taoist were still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching their movements there without moving.

"Elder, Old Ancestor, why don't you come and take a look?" The Grand Master looked for a while, but couldn't see why, and looked up to see Wang Sheng and Old Taoist Lingxu sitting there, couldn't help but ask. It was very interesting that he now called Wang Sheng in front and the old Taoist in the back.

"What's there to see?" The old Taoist muttered directly: "It's already a dark place, and then there's a big hole of unknown depth. You can see something if you look at it like this. I understood this principle when I was in the core of the Qianjue Land."
