Dragon's Origin

Chapter 238: The 'Xing' Word Seal (Part 1)

The stone wall, filled with the protective power of formations, was remarkably similar to the environment where Wang Sheng, the old Daoist, comprehended the Nine Secret Words not long ago. Moreover, this place was unlike that mountain wall. The power left on that mountain wall would slowly dissipate, but here, there was a continuous supply of lava as an energy source, which would never disappear.

If it weren't for the fact that prolonged exposure here would produce deadly gases, Wang Sheng would have even considered comprehending all the Nine Secret Words here. Unfortunately, time waits for no one, and he could only find another opportunity to come in the future.

Wang Sheng hammered at the mountain wall to carefully feel how the formation's protective force was operating. Only by clearly feeling the force of the formation's rebound could Wang Sheng make targeted arrangements.

All of this was to allow the combat awareness little person to understand the structure of the mountain wall and the effects of the formation more deeply, so as to better simulate and enhance Wang Sheng's attack methods.

This underground space was vast, spanning over a dozen miles in circumference. With such a large space and only Wang Sheng and the female boss, they wouldn't exhaust all the oxygen in a few days. Besides, a few days would be enough to exhaust the patience of those outside. The top was the Thousand Absolutes Land, and staying there for an extra day for no reason would bring a day's worth of risk. Those people only needed to ensure that Wang Sheng and the female boss couldn't get out for a period of time, and that would be enough.

The female boss, with a hint of fear, reactivated the formations in the outer passage one by one. Then, she divided her attention between taking care of the formations and observing Wang Sheng.

However, Wang Sheng's actions once again puzzled the female boss. What was Wang Sheng trying to do?

In fact, Wang Sheng didn't do anything. He just found a comfortable place to sit down, then closed his eyes comfortably, leaving only the sentence "Don't disturb me, no matter how big the matter is." and leaned there as if he had fallen asleep.

Fortunately, the female boss was knowledgeable and knew that Wang Sheng had fallen into a deep level of thought, so she also obediently didn't disturb Wang Sheng, and sat at the entrance of the formation control hub, staring at the formation on one side and Wang Sheng on the other.

With Wang Sheng sitting there without saying a word or moving, it was equivalent to her being the only one left in the entire underground space. It would be a lie to say that the female boss wasn't afraid. However, as long as Wang Sheng was still sitting there, even if he didn't say anything or move, the female boss could feel a trace of security that no one else could give her.

Wang Sheng's own consciousness had already sunk into the Yuan Soul space, and the sixteen combat awareness little person's clones began a frantic optimization and simulation process. Targeting the power of the formation on the mountain wall, they used the skills Wang Sheng had mastered one by one to see if there was any way to break through.

Just as the female boss calculated, it was completely impossible for Wang Sheng and the female boss to dig out an escape route from a place several miles deep underground.

With a straight-line distance of four miles, if Wang Sheng wanted to dig a channel at a forty-five-degree angle, the channel would also be five or six miles long. With this amount of work, even with the female boss helping to transport the dug-out stone, it would take twenty days to a month to calculate, and this was under the circumstance that Wang Sheng had already shown himself to be very monstrous.

Obviously, Wang Sheng and the female boss didn't have that much time. In addition, those shopkeepers outside couldn't support it for so long. The outside was the Thousand Absolutes Land, not any other place. Those who could live normally inside for a month, besides Wang Sheng and the old Daoist, Wang Sheng had only seen the Song family's elite have this ability.

The shopkeepers that the female boss cultivated were definitely good at accounting, and they were all definitely great shopkeepers who could sit in charge of one area when it came to doing business, but if they were asked to survive in the Thousand Absolutes Land, it was impossible for them to last more than half a month.

Wang Sheng could only choose to dig out a channel near the entrance of the passage in the shortest amount of time. The method to break through the protective power of those formations was what Wang Sheng had to find within these three days.

Chiwen Transformation, Taotie Transformation, Bi Xie Transformation, Fu Xi Transformation, the abilities brought to Wang Sheng by several transformations were practiced one by one, and the Nine Secret Words were also tested one by one. All sixteen combat awareness little person in the Yuan Soul space tested these. Every direction, every angle, just like when he comprehended the Nine Secret Words under that mountain wall.

Fortunately, the combat awareness little person split one more time, and the calculation speed was twice as fast as before, so Wang Sheng could test them one by one.

After experimenting and experimenting, Wang Sheng discovered that the key probably still lay in the Nine Secret Words. Changes in vision were definitely not possible, just having great strength was not enough, and being good at calligraphy was even more useless. The only possibility was the Taotie's crazy absorption of spiritual energy, but this was completely meaningless in the face of the endless energy of the earth fire vein.

The 'Lin' Word Seal was not possible, the 'Bing' Word Seal was not possible, the 'Dou' Word Seal was not possible, the 'Zhe' Word Seal was not possible, the 'Jie' Word Seal was not possible, the 'Zhen' Word Seal was not possible, the 'Lie' Word Seal was not possible. The 'Qian' Word Seal could absorb external power, and was originally the most likely, but the energy source of this formation was the earth fire vein, which was endless. Wang Sheng alone, even with the Taotie's ability to devour spiritual energy, could never absorb all the energy of the entire volcano, so the 'Qian' Word Seal was also not possible.

In the end, Wang Sheng had to focus his attention on the 'Xing' Word Seal. What exactly did the 'Xing' Word Seal, representing superhuman abilities, mean? Could it be related to formations?

Since Wang Sheng came to this Yuan Soul world, he had been subtly accepting most of the power systems here, and slowly accepting different cognitions here and on Earth. Including cultivation, spiritual energy, Yuan Soul, formations, etc. Everything else was basically related to his own cultivation, except for the path of formations, which had nothing to do with cultivation. Could it be that the 'Xing' Word Seal was actually related to formations?

How was it related? Violently breaking through any formation? That was impossible. There was a way in the world to break through ten formations with one force, but Wang Sheng was not strong enough to have that kind of absolute crushing strength. If he couldn't break through the formation, what should he do if he wanted to be free from the constraints of the formation?

Not to mention that various formations changed in thousands of ways, each with its own purpose, and even the formation masters of this world could not use one method to deal with formations of different purposes. How could Wang Sheng, who knew nothing about the principles of formations, find such a method?

However, Wang Sheng was not a person from this world. He had his own different views on many things in this world.

There was no one method that could break through all formations, but there was a method that could prevent all formations from harming Wang Sheng, and that was to turn himself into a part of the formation.

Wang Sheng had never heard of a formation that would harm or destroy the formation itself. If Wang Sheng could do this, could it be said that any binding or protective formation would be ineffective against Wang Sheng?

How to integrate himself with the formation? This became the problem that Wang Sheng needed to solve quickly. Fortunately, Wang Sheng, with his rich knowledge of the earth, quickly found a method: resonance.
