Dragon's Origin

Chapter 255: Excited Abbots (Part 2)

Just like Wang Sheng, the Old Daoist Priest didn't quite understand the 'Line' Character Formula that even Wang Sheng himself hadn't figured out. But with Wang Sheng's reminder, the Old Daoist Priest instantly understood its purpose.

However, knowing the purpose didn't mean the Old Daoist Priest could use it, but at least there was a direction to work towards. He just needed to put in the effort in that direction in the future.

Suddenly, the Old Daoist Priest had a very surprising idea, but he didn't know whether he should tell Wang Sheng about it now.

"Demonstrate it to me," the Old Daoist Priest said. He hadn't eaten much with Wang Sheng before he pulled Wang Sheng up and took him to the courtyard outside the Scripture Depository of the Old Lord Temple.

Five or six middle-aged Daoist priests were quickly called over by Lingxu Old Daoist, also alarming a resident abbot. Wang Sheng noticed that this abbot wasn't the one from the last time the Old Daoist Priest was in seclusion; they must be rotating.

The middle-aged Daoist priests were all familiar with formations. The Old Daoist Priest instructed them directly to immediately set up a basic binding formation. Purely binding, that is, restricting, with no attack power and not very strong defense. It was the simplest formation set up during formation practice, one that any formation master could set up.

The Daoist priests were baffled, but since it was an order from Lingxu Old Ancestor, they had to comply. Several people surrounded Wang Sheng and easily trapped him in a basic binding formation.

The Old Daoist Priest signaled Wang Sheng to begin. Wang Sheng bowed to the surroundings and then stood in place, closing his eyes.

Everyone, including the abbot, watched in confusion. No one knew what Wang Sheng was going to do, except for the Old Daoist Priest. But the Old Daoist Priest was only focused on watching Wang Sheng's demonstration and couldn't bother to explain to them, leaving them completely bewildered.

Wang Sheng stood still for more than twenty minutes, not moving at all, which made several middle-aged Daoist priests very dissatisfied. They were asked to set up a formation, but he didn't move, attack, or test it. What was that all about?

As time passed, Wang Sheng remained motionless, and the expressions of the surrounding people turned ugly. Was he planning to disgust people? Still with his eyes closed? What a show-off!

Just as two of the middle-aged Daoist priests, already somewhat annoyed, were about to get up and scold him, the Old Daoist Priest seemed to notice the commotion, and with a flicker of his figure, he appeared beside them, placing his hands on their shoulders.

"Don't move, don't make a sound!" Lingxu Old Daoist's low reprimand entered their ears. The two middle-aged Daoist priests immediately dared not move again, let alone make any noise.

Everyone saw the Old Daoist Priest's actions, so how could they not know that Wang Sheng might be doing something important? Immediately, they had no more complaints and obediently watched Wang Sheng putting on an act with his eyes closed.

Yes, in the eyes of the middle-aged formation Daoist priests, Wang Sheng was just putting on an act. After setting up a binding formation, if you want to verify your cultivation, then use all your strength to attack. If you want to study the formation's structure, then communicate with the people who set up the formation. What's the point of standing here with your eyes closed and not moving?

Time passed again, and soon it was almost an hour. Just as everyone was losing patience, Wang Sheng suddenly moved.

Standing in place, Wang Sheng opened his eyes, then raised an arm and slowly stretched it forward. His feet also began to move slowly, taking two steps and stopping in one place, as if something was blocking his way.

This was originally a binding formation, so being blocked was normal, right? Everyone stared at Wang Sheng, watching what he would do next.

Wang Sheng didn't disappoint everyone. After a pause, he continued forward, his outstretched hand moving forward again, as if the invisible barrier that had just blocked him had disappeared.

They watched Wang Sheng continue forward until he stopped when he was about to approach Lingxu Old Daoist.

What was this supposed to be? Walking for everyone to see? One of the formation Daoist priests was about to speak sarcastically when he suddenly realized that Wang Sheng had just been sealed in the binding formation by them, hadn't he? How could he have walked over there?

Could it be that the formation had failed? But whether it was their own feeling or the state displayed on the formation stones, it showed that the binding formation was still running!

One of them didn't believe it and felt that there might be a mistake. The formation stones might also be wrong, but a person's true sense of touch wouldn't be wrong. Not believing it, he imitated Wang Sheng, stretching his hand forward. After a few steps, his hand was blocked by an invisible barrier.

He pushed hard, but the barrier didn't move. This transparent barrier was clearly the binding formation they had activated! But how did Wang Sheng get out of that circle? Did anyone see it clearly?

Just as everyone was greatly puzzled, the Old Daoist Priest spoke again: "Change to a more powerful advanced formation. Don't increase the formation too much, do it one step at a time."

As expected, it was an experiment related to formations. Everyone finally understood. This time, they were no longer confused, but instead reinforced the previous binding formation.

Wang Sheng entered the formation again, and after another hour, he stretched out his hand and slowly walked out of the formation, while the binding formation itself remained unscathed.

"How did you do it?" The oldest middle-aged Daoist priest looked at Wang Sheng blankly, asking with a face full of disbelief.

He had studied formations for decades, and he had personally set up no less than ten thousand formations, but he had never seen such an incredible technique. It seemed that the binding formation was not a problem at all in front of Wang Sheng.

"Change to a defensive formation," the Old Daoist Priest gave the next challenge. Everyone's spirits also lifted, and they worked together to set up another formation excitedly, watching Wang Sheng test it.

The newest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

When Wang Sheng succeeded again, not to mention the middle-aged Daoist priests responsible for setting up the formation, even the abbot's eyes lit up.

"Old Ancestor, can this be used over there?" The abbot excitedly asked Lingxu Old Daoist in a low voice.

"Possibly," Lingxu Old Daoist slowly nodded: "Try one formation after another, maybe it will work. Well, when it's about time, call them all back and discuss whether it's feasible!"

Now the abbot was even more restless. He immediately walked out and sent someone to call back the abbots stationed at the Three Pure Ones Temple, and gave the two errand-running young Daoist priests special instructions that it was extremely urgent, related to the inheritance of the Great Dao, and that the abbots should rush back as quickly as possible.

When Wang Sheng had passed through the tenth formation almost without sleep, there was more than one abbot beside Lingxu Old Daoist. The group of abbots, big and small, that Wang Sheng had seen after sculpting the Old Lord statue all appeared here.

On each abbot's face, there seemed to be a kind of excitement and agitation, as if something big was about to happen.
