Dragon's Origin

“Explain what?” Wang Sheng retorted with a cold smile, “I told you we were at the destination, you questioned that we weren't, and I proved it to you. That's all. What's there to explain?” Wang Sheng looked at Flying Fox and suddenly laughed, “Don't tell me you didn't see or hear anything here just now.”

“Why did this place collapse? Why is there water?” Flying Fox suppressed his anger and asked again.

“It's simple!” Wang Sheng said, acting as if he was explaining to Flying Fox, “I came here for the water source. You're looking for the ruins of an alchemy sect. To make pills, you need good water. As long as you look for a good enough water source nearby, it's easy to determine the range.”

“The water source of an alchemy sect must be very important, so they must have built a palace or something else to protect it, definitely not in the open.” Wang Sheng said unhurriedly, “Just now we were standing on top of that water source's building. The place for making pills can't be right next to the water source, but it won't be too far away either, so I said it's within a few dozen miles.”

Just now, everyone was standing on a small hill, covered with trees, vines, flowers, and plants. Who would have thought that this was not a hill, but a palace? Hearing Wang Sheng's explanation, everyone present was stunned.

However, looking down now, aside from the sand and soil, there are several stones that are obviously regular, strip-shaped stones, which are clearly man-made, not naturally formed. Everyone also saw some rotten wood, which basically confirmed that Wang Sheng was right, this was indeed a palace hundreds of years ago.

Hundreds of years can truly be described as a transformation of the world. A palace used to protect the water source has turned into a hill, and a hill covered with various plants, with no trace of it ever being a palace, or even any signs of human activity.

If the crowd hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed all of this? But they had no choice but to believe it, because the gushing spring water, the rotten wood, and the regular stones had already explained everything. If that wasn't enough, they could dig around to see the walls of the palace that hadn't collapsed.

“But why didn't you say so?” Flying Fox's anger was nearing its peak. Because Wang Sheng didn't say anything, this was what happened. If Wang Sheng wasn't still useful, Flying Fox would have wanted to kill him himself.

“Didn't I say we were at the destination?” Wang Sheng said to Flying Fox with righteous indignation, “Or is there something wrong with my ears, or is there something wrong with your memory? Didn't I really say it?”

Wang Sheng did say that they were at the destination, which no one could deny. However, Wang Sheng said it so listlessly at the time that no one took Wang Sheng seriously! In that state, including everyone present, who would have believed that Wang Sheng was telling the truth?

“Then why didn't you explain?” Flying Fox forcefully suppressed his anger and questioned angrily. He was rendered speechless by Wang Sheng's words and could only find other reasons.

“Explain?” Wang Sheng looked Flying Fox up and down for a long time before bursting into loud laughter, “Ha! Explain?”

“It's not me bragging, but all of you people here, add them all up and multiply them by ten, and you still wouldn't know as much about the Thousand Absolutes Land as I do alone.” Wang Sheng was in a rage, his voice unusually loud, pointing at Flying Fox with one finger and then drawing a circle, “I'm not targeting any one of you, I mean all of you, you're all trash, just farts in the Thousand Absolutes Land, not even as good as farts.”

Looking at the angry gazes of a group of experts, Wang Sheng didn't care at all, pointing at one after another, “Explain? Why? Just because you're a bunch of ignorant fools? Explaining is a waste of time!”

“What kind of thing was that guy just now? How dare he question my professionalism in the Thousand Absolutes Land?” Wang Sheng's eyes also widened, staring back at the group of angry experts, raising his voice again, “Is he worthy?”

The sudden loud noise made everyone's body tremble involuntarily. No one knew that this was the wonderful effect of Wang Sheng's Nine Character Incantation 'Lin'. Facing Wang Sheng, a group of experts whose cultivation was higher than Wang Sheng's were as obedient as grandsons. At this moment, no one even questioned him back, as if they were all suddenly guilty.

“Explain? Why do you want an explanation?” Wang Sheng slightly softened his voice and asked again, “There are two rules for following me into the Thousand Absolutes Land, the first is an iron rule that must not be violated. So, does anyone remember what the second rule is?”

A group of Baoqing Remaining Hall experts looked at each other in confusion. Wasn't there only one iron rule? Where did the second rule come from? Everyone looked at each other, and no one could say.

Still, a fat shopkeeper tremblingly raised his hand. Seeing this, Flying Fox quickly asked, “What is the second rule?”

“The second rule is…” This shopkeeper was the original Baoqing Remaining Hall's shopkeeper in the Thousand Absolutes Land branch. At this time, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously and carefully replied, “No explanation!”

Wang Sheng did say that after entering the Thousand Absolutes Land, there would be no explanation for anything or any orders, take it or leave it. However, this was the rule that Wang Sheng established when he first entered the Thousand Absolutes Land. Later, Wang Sheng also relaxed this rule for several organizations, so the people of Baoqing Remaining Hall must have thought that the rule had been abolished.

“Then why did you explain to the royals and the Triumph Palace people later?” Flying Fox was completely stunned. He also remembered that Wang Sheng really had this rule. The problem was, he didn't think so beforehand.

“Because they paid the price.” Wang Sheng asked coldly without any expression, “Before departure, did any of you Baoqing Remaining Hall people, one by one, say that you would give me the price for an explanation? No, at least I didn't see it. Also, I remember, before departure, I specifically asked if you knew the rules? How did you answer me?”

A group of people were all stunned in place, speechless. At that time, everyone certainly said that they knew the rules, but saying it now was so ironic.

The newest novels are first published at 69shu.

“Then why did you just now…” Flying Fox almost didn't know how to respond, and could only ask half a sentence disappointedly, even he himself didn't know what to ask.

“Since someone is willing to pay with their life, I don't mind letting them die a little more clearly.” Wang Sheng still replied indifferently, “I'm in a good mood, so if someone is willing to use their life as the price next time, wanting to know if I'm just boasting, I guarantee that I will still explain it to everyone after he dies.”
