Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Ahem..." An untimely cough broke the warm atmosphere. The cultivator who was responsible for protecting the law on the side smiled and said: "Junior Brother Tang, congratulations."

"Thank you, Master Shen." The two of them separated their tightly embracing hands. Tang Ning bowed to him and Liu Ruhan also saluted and thanked him.

"You're welcome. Now is the time when the sect is in crisis. The Mubei demon may attack Qingzhou again at any time. It's just the right time for you to break through to the Void Refining Realm. You can take on greater responsibilities for the sect in the future."

"This disciple also thought the same way, so he rushed to the Void Refining Realm during the truce between the two sides."

"You go to the legion and report yourself. I have completed my duty of protecting the law, so I won't chat with you and say goodbye." The man fled away.

The two of them also returned to the cave, and Gu Yuanya also came to congratulate them and chattered a lot.

After she left, the couple were alone in a room, and Tang Ning talked about every detail of her experience when she entered the Void Refining Realm, including her encounter with the inner demon environment.

Thinking about it now, I still have lingering fears. Fortunately, he has been firm in his will from beginning to end, and is deeply aware that the appearance of the inner demon is to drag him into a place of eternal destruction. As long as he shows a little weakness and wavers and agrees to the inner demon's conditions, The consequences would be disastrous.

In that dark prison, every breath and every moment was so painful, and he thought about himself Ruru almost all the time.

The inner demons knew what he was thinking and used illusions to shake his will and seduce him into agreeing to cooperate.

For a while, he could hardly hold on anymore, his mind was so shaken that he almost fell into the trap of his inner demon.

At the critical moment, the golden glue and jade dew liquid played its role and protected his mind. At the moment when he was hesitant, the identical figure talking in front of him suddenly turned into a ferocious face, which made him wake up instantly. , realizing that everything was a lie by the inner demon, in order to drag him into the quagmire of eternal destruction.

From that moment on, he recognized all the illusions and became extremely determined. No matter what the demon said or what tricks he played, he ignored it and just pretended that it did not exist.

In the end, it seemed as if the inner demon really didn't exist. Even Liu Ruhan's originally clear words in the illusion he cast became unclear and became weaker and weaker, until all the sounds disappeared completely. The inner demon Self-elimination, everything will disappear by itself.

It has to be said that this inner demon was really terrifyingly tight. One link after another made him almost fall out.

As early as when he broke through to the state of becoming a god, the inner demon kept giving him psychological hints, telling him that the two were one, thus laying the groundwork for today's trap. If he really believed in the theory that the two were one, he would definitely believe it. If you agree to what he says, you will fall into his trap.

Thinking about it this way, it's really scary to think about it.

………

Linzi City, on the majestic and majestic city outline, cannons are displayed one after another, and teams of allied monks stand. Although they are in a prepared posture, there are people coming and going inside and outside the city, and merchant ships are coming and going. It is very lively, and there is no trace of life. The dull and solemn feeling of war.

Although the war is ongoing, Linzi County, as the hinterland of Qingzhou, is not in danger of war at all.

Even though the topic of the Mubei demon going south to Qingzhou was discussed in the streets and alleys, most of them did so with an attitude that it had nothing to do with them and only used it as conversation material after dinner.

Because Linzi County is the farthest away from Mubei, the war there cannot reach here.

In the distance, black spots appeared one by one, like a torrent coming overwhelmingly. As it got closer and closer, everyone on the city wall could see clearly that the torrent was a huge warship.

The flags of the warships are flying, covering the sky and the sun, stretching for thousands of miles, like a rapidly moving mountain range.

On the Leizi boat, a group of men and women dressed in Taixuanzong costumes stood. The leader was white-bearded and thin, with wrinkles on his face, showing his age. He was Jiang Yu, the master of Xuande Hall of Taixuanzong.

Two men and one woman stood behind him. One of them was a middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears, and a big belly. He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and was the steward of Yuanyi Palace.

The other man was tall and tall, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist. He was Ling Yunzhi, the steward of the Jingwu Camp.

The last woman was in her forties and had a beautiful appearance. She was Nangong Muxue, the steward of Qingxuan Hall.

In the distance, several rays of escaping light greeted them, and in the blink of an eye they came closer. The leader was white-faced, beardless, and looked like a scholar. He was Han Siyuan, the master of Qingxuan Palace of Taixuan Sect.

"Senior Brother Jiang, you have finally arrived. Our coalition forces have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. Several fellow Taoists and I are here to greet you on behalf of our fellow Taoists from Qingzhou. Let me introduce you, this is Taoist Fellow Yu Chengxing, the general manager of the Jiang family, and this This is Fellow Daoist Qiao Yue, general manager of the Netherworld Sea Organization." Han Siyuan smiled and bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?" Yu Chengxing said.

"Fellow Taoist Yu's demeanor is still enviable. Jiang is already in his twilight years and really doesn't want to die on his deathbed. This time he asked Ying to go to Qingzhou and tried his best to do his best." Jiang Yu returned the gift and introduced a few people behind him. , the two parties chatted for a while, and then entered Linzi City together.

In the majestic and majestic meeting hall, senior leaders of the coalition forces gathered together. Han Siyuan sat at the head of the table and said: "Although the Mubei coalition forces were defeated in Yuanxian County for a while, they are still stubborn and want to invade Qingzhou. They have now assembled heavy troops in Qinghai. It is reported that , the three great demons of Mubei have all arrived in Qinghai and are taking command. They may go south at any time. Senior Brother Jiang and several junior brothers have come at the right time. Now we, the Jiang family, the Nether Sea Organization and the elites of various organizations have joined the coalition forces. It can be said that we are strong. It’s more than enough to defend Qingzhou.”

Jiang Yu said: "I took the initiative to come here this time just to do my last bit for the sect before my death. If I can win a Mubei Demon King and eliminate a major problem for our sect, I will have no regrets in this life. I heard that Peacock When the king was attacking Fenghua City, he promised to fight against Junior Brother Shangguan, but this monster actually bullied the sect, so he asked me to go and meet it. When the Mubei monster goes south to Qingzhou, it must first capture Donglai County. I would like to go to Donglai County. Let’s see how many tricks they have.”

"If Senior Brother Jiang can take charge of Donglai County, we will have nothing to worry about!"

"Why haven't the people from the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce arrived yet?"

"They are already on the way. The Qingzhou Local Chamber of Commerce Corps has been formed. Just like the last Qinghai War, they will remain independent."

"The Merchant Alliance has always wanted to sit on the fence. Although they were defeated this time and participated in the battlefield, they maintain an independent organization. It may not be easy for the coalition to command them. In the last battle of Qinghai, they were unable to work, so they had to find ways to check and balance. They do.”

………

Fengyuan Mountain Spirit Mine, in front of the majestic cave, a ray of light fell down. Tangning turned his hand and handed the talisman inside. Not long after, a disciple from the inner room came out to welcome him and invited him into the inner room.

"Meet Uncle Mao." Tang Ning entered the main room and bowed to Mao Yuan who was sitting upright.

Mao Yuan's eyes stayed on him for a while, and then he said: "You have entered the Void Refining Realm now. We can only interact as equals. You are welcome. Please sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Master. I was lucky enough to succeed this time, so I came back to resume my life."

"Your great improvement in cultivation is also a good thing for this headquarters. In the future, you will be able to fight against the attacks of Mubei demons. You have already been to Fellow Daoist Dong Cheng, right?"

"Yes, after the disciple returned to Qianyue City, he went to visit Senior Dong."

"What did Fellow Daoist Dong say?" Mao Yuan asked.

Now each of the Void Refining monks in the column is in charge of the resources of a place. Each person holds at least a dozen spiritual mines in three pavilion cities. If Tang Ning breaks through to the Void Refining Realm at this time, will the higher-ups take advantage of the divided resources? Re-dividing a piece of it and giving it to him is his biggest concern now.

"Senior Dong asked the disciple to continue to work in Fengyi Mountain Ling Mine." Tangning naturally understood the implication of this. When he had visited Dong Cheng, Zhuang Qiusheng, and Yu Mian one after another, they didn't mention it at all. He only said some high-sounding words, and obviously had no intention of allocating more resources to him.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Although he has broken through the Void Refining Realm and can be on an equal footing with these column managers in terms of cultivation, his position is still a subordinate relationship and he is not qualified to share Qianyue City's cultivation resources equally with these people.

"In that case, then you can go back to Feng Yishan and continue to serve!"

"Yes, disciple, I'll stop disturbing you and take my leave." Tangning stood up and left, heading back to Feng Yi Mountain. Everyone was shocked to see that he had disappeared for nearly a year and had broken through the Void Refining Realm upon his return.

Soon, the news of his promotion to Lianxu spread throughout the entire spiritual mine.

Before that, he went to Donglai County to attack Lianxu. Only a few senior members of the column knew about it, and no one else knew about it. So when they saw him come back and break through Lianxu, they were all shocked. For several days, everyone discussed the matter in twos and threes. , the news quickly spread throughout the entire regiment, causing a lot of discussion, and the managers of each regiment heard the news and came to congratulate him.
