Chronicles of Celestial Origins

There was a knock on the door outside the house. Li He came in from the outside, bowed and saluted: "Master, uncle, the monk on duty at the column meeting hall has sent a message. Senior Zhu invites you to go and discuss matters."

Tang Ning immediately left the cave and came to the column meeting hall. She nodded to Zhu Zhen who was sitting in the main seat and took a seat at the bottom.

Over the years, the Tenth Army Corps has been guarding Donglai County and has only experienced one war, that is, when the Mubei Demon came to attack Donglai County three years ago. At that time, the Tenth Column only had a brief confrontation with the Mubei Demon outside the city. , when the Mubei demons retreated, they pursued most of them for a while, so there were not many casualties. Only one of the steward-level monks was killed and one was injured.

Since the war took place under the noses of the coalition's top brass, there was no room for him to control it. All the corpses of monsters obtained by cleaning up the battlefield were confiscated by the personal guards designated by the coalition's top brass, and he did not get any of them.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, you suddenly convened a meeting today. I don't know why?"

"I received an order from the legion to take charge of the relocation affairs of all monks from sects and aristocratic families stationed in Guangyang Pavilion."

"Relocation? Do we have to send them all to Shigang County?" Tangning asked.

Currently, only Shigang County in Donglai County is slightly quieter. Because it borders Donglai County to the north and Yunlan and Baiyun counties to the east and west, although the Mubei demons captured Yuanxian, Luzhi, and Zuo Zong, , Yuguan, Tianquan, but these counties are not adjacent to Shigang, so the Mubei demon cannot attack there for a while.

"No, the coalition forces have decided to abandon Donglai County. The frontline headquarters will be moved to Pingyuan County. Before evacuating, they must first ensure that all personnel and materials from various sects and cultivating families in this county are moved away to prevent them from defecting. Mubei Demon."

"Why did you abandon Donglai County?"

Tang Ning was shocked. Although the coalition forces retreated steadily in Donglai County and lost five counties, they were not without gains. As the saying goes, "killing one thousand enemies will result in eight hundred losses." Every time the Mubei coalition conquered a city, there were no more casualties. few.

What's more, Donglai County, which is in the hands of the coalition forces and has so many excellent resource areas, was actually given to the Mubei coalition forces in vain. It is really incomprehensible.

"I don't know the specific reason. The legion just sent people to convey the order, but I heard that it has something to do with your sect. It was your sect who advocated abandoning the defense of Donglai County."

"Oh? Really?" Thoughts raced in Tang Ning's mind. Since the sect advocated abandoning the defense, there must be a hidden secret behind it. However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out the mystery for a while.

While the two were talking, another person strode in from outside. It was Inspector Bao Wenkang. As soon as he took his seat, he chatted with the two of them. After learning the army's order, he was also surprised.

As time went by, the managers of the column and the captains of each regiment arrived one after another.

Zhu Zhen then informed everyone about the incident, divided tasks for each team, and made corresponding arrangements.

After the discussion, Tangning returned to the cave. As soon as she entered the inner room, she was greeted by Liu Ruhan.

The couple came to the main room hand in hand and sat down next to each other: "Ruru, I'm about to go find you! The coalition forces are about to abandon Donglai County. Do you know about this?"

"Well, the Fourth Army Corps also received a notice and was about to evacuate Donglai County, so I hurriedly came to find my husband."

"Why is this? Why are you suddenly withdrawing from Donglai County? This is too strange."

"The headmaster has issued an order requiring all senior officials above the managerial level of each palace and courtyard to return to the sect. Therefore, the coalition forces want to temporarily avoid the attack of the Mubei demon, so they decided to evacuate Donglai County."

"Ah? Returning to the sect at this time? Why?"

"I also heard from the master that the seal of Tianyuan City has become loose, so the headmaster ordered that the high-level monks return and concentrate their efforts on dealing with the loose seal first."

After hearing this, Tang Ning suddenly understood. No wonder Nangong Muxue and others rushed back in a hurry. It turned out to be for this matter.

Over the years, as his cultivation experience increased, he also learned a lot about the many secrets of Tianyuan World. With Liu Ruhan here, the couple often talked about some unknown secrets inside and outside the sect, so he knew the so-called secrets of Tianyuan City. What does the seal mean?

The reason why the four major Xuanmen all built their mountain gates in Tianyuan City was that, in addition to Tianyuan City’s vast territory and rich materials, another important factor was that Tianyuan City sealed the passage from the demon world to this world.

Judging from the album, Tianyuan City is located in the central area of ​​Tianyuan Realm. It is the most fertile place in the world and has the strongest spiritual power. However, this place is also the center connected to the Demon Realm. As early as ancient times, the Demon Realm has passed through this center from time to time. Invade the Tianyuan world and seize the resources of the Tianyuan world.

The Demon Realm and the Tianyuan Realm belong to different interfaces. The so-called honey to me is arsenic to others. The aura of the Tianyuan Realm is indispensable for monks, but it is of no benefit to the creatures in the Demon Realm.

The reason why the demon world invades the Tianyuan world is to seize the origin of the Tianyuan world to nourish itself.

Rumor has it that there is something similar to the Demon Transformation Pool in the Demon Realm, which can continuously draw the source of life contained in the spiritual veins of Tianyuan Realm to the Demon Realm through the sealed channel of Tianyuan City, and then be washed and fused by the Demon Transformation Pool to become a kind of Demon Realm. An existence similar to spiritual energy.

And in the Tianyuan World, where the source of life in the spiritual veins has been taken away, a large number of spiritual veins will dry up and become a desert without any grass.

The sealed channel of Tianyuan City corresponds to the Demonic Transformation Pool of the Demon Realm. Once the seal is broken and the Demonic Transformation Pool is activated, a large amount of the source of life contained in the spiritual veins will flow into the Demonic Realm from the channel, gradually causing the spirit of Tianyuan City to The veins dried up and became desert ruins.

In addition, creatures from the demon world can also invade the Tianyuan world through this channel to seize other spiritual veins.

Different from the secret realms sealed in other places, the passage sealed in Tianyuan City is directly connected to the demon world. Demonic creatures can go directly to the Tianyuan world from this passage, while other secret realms are equivalent to a transit station.

Creatures from the demon world cannot directly reach the Tianyuan Realm. They must first go to this transfer station and then come to the Tianyuan Realm from there. There are many difficulties and restrictions here, and it is far less convenient than going directly from the Tianyuan City passage.

Rumor has it that it is precisely because the passage from the Tianyuan Realm to the Demon Realm is sealed that creatures from the Demon Realm cannot directly reach the Tianyuan Realm from there. In order to continue to invade the Tianyuan Realm's spiritual veins, other secret realms were opened.

There are many historical records that can serve as evidence for this. In ancient times, every invasion of the demon world started from the Tianyuan world and spread to the surrounding areas.

Since the Tianyuan City passage was sealed, more and more secret realms have appeared.

"Even the seal of Tianyuan City has been loosened. It seems that the invasion of the demon world is not too far away." Tangning said leisurely with a blank expression.

The seals of Tianyuan City will be strengthened every period of time, and naturally they will not be loosened for no reason. The reason for this situation is undoubtedly that the demonic creatures are preparing for the invasion and intend to break the seal of the passage.

There are similar records in all the historical books about the invasion of the demon world. Before invading the Tianyuan world, the demon army will first try to attack the seal passage of Tianyuan City, which will eventually cause the seal to loosen.

This has become an obvious sign before the invasion of the devil world, which is a bit like a neighbor knocking on the door to say hello.

In addition, the frequent occurrence of space cracks in various places is also a major invitation for the invasion of the demon world.

The reason why space cracks appear is because the Demon Realm is exerting force to cause great changes in a certain space node, which causes some small spaces floating between the two realms to be squeezed into the Tianyuan Realm.

Now that the demons are on the rise and have captured Xuanmen Prefecture and County, the world is already uneasy. If another demonic creature invades, the world will be in chaos. We don’t know what great changes will happen then.

Tangning had clearly felt that he was in the midst of a huge change in the world, a catastrophe that was rare to see in thousands of years. This made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness, like a small boat drifting on the stormy sea in the stormy sea.

"My husband is not afraid." Liu Ruhan noticed his worry at this moment, put her fingers through his fingers, interlocked with his, and comforted him like a child.

"Who is afraid? Don't say this again in the future, otherwise the family will take care of you." Tang Ning glared at her and said angrily.

Liu Ruhan leaned her head on his shoulder: "Husband, when we come to Pingyuan County this time, we wonder if we can all be assigned to serve in the same place?"

"As long as you can stay at Qingwu Camp, I will be relieved. It doesn't matter where you serve. Anyway, we are not far apart and we can see each other at any time."

"Every time the Mubei demon comes to attack, I always think about my husband with fear. It would be great if we both served in the tenth column."

"What's the good thing about that? Even if we all serve in the same team, once a war breaks out and the situation is chaotic, it will be difficult for me to protect you all the time. I say, this is the best for us. You stay in Qingwu In the camp area, we stay together when there is nothing wrong. If there is a war and the Mubei demon comes to attack, you will be in the rear, and I don’t have to worry about you. What I am most worried about now is that we evacuate Donglai County and reach the plains. Queen, will the coalition forces recruit you disciples of the sect who are staying behind in the Fourth Army?"

"I don't need my husband to protect me. I can still help my husband when the time comes."

"Let's see what you can do. You are so powerful. You are not allowed to be lazy again in the future, and you are not allowed to cry for mercy."

Liu Ruhan shyly nudged him with her head.

Tang Ning smiled and said, "I have Xiao Zhan to help me. Unless I'm targeted by a fusion cultivator, even if it's a late stage cultivator of Void Refining, Xiao Zhan and I can still fight together."

"Husband, has the gourd condensed any more ice crystals?"

"How can it be so fast? It will take at least a hundred years."

"Have you given the fifth-level demon pills we have collected over the years to Xiao Zhan?"

"No! How is that possible? How can I give it to her for free? When she asks for it from us, I will discuss the terms with her."

"Husband, a few days ago, when I was listening to Senior Brother Yu Li chatting with others in the meeting hall, he mentioned that during the refining process of spiritual wine and spiritual food, a blood-condensing substance is added, which can help the spiritual wine and spiritual food. Have you ever tried condensation fermentation?”

"I haven't tried it. I think it won't have any effect! His blood condensation powder is a catalytic drug that helps the spiritual power and the blood foam of monsters merge. Our solid spiritual energy is so advanced, how can blood condensation powder work? , but I can try it next time.”

Liu Ruhan pushed him with her head again and said angrily: "Why are you becoming more and more stupid? What I'm talking about is not blood coagulation, but the green spiritual power in your body. That green spiritual power can not only affect the growth of plants, but also can it affect the growth of plants." The condensation of ice crystals also plays a role in accelerating the fusion of demon elixirs?"

"Don't tell me, I really haven't tried it." After hearing this, Tang Ning immediately became energetic.

Back then, he only tried pouring green spiritual power into the gourd to see if it could condense ice crystals. After that failed, he never poured green spiritual power into it again.

Later, in order to prevaricate Xiao Zhan, he added the demon pill into the gourd, but he never thought about condensing ice crystals. Until more than ten years ago, ice crystals were successfully condensed in the gourd. After learning the Tianyan Sword Formation Technique, almost all the energy was spent on practicing this sword formation key. I never thought that the green spiritual power would help the demon pills to fuse and condense the ice crystals.

"If the spiritual power in your husband's body can catalyze the condensation of ice crystals, it will not only produce ice crystals faster and improve your cultivation, but it will also make it easier to bargain with Xiao Zhan."

"Ruru, let's go try it now." Tang Ning was so excited that she couldn't sit still for a moment. After pulling Liu Ruhan out of the cave, she left the column station.
