Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Fellow Daoist Huang, can you tell me what happened before you fell into this place?"

"I can't explain exactly what happened. I only remember that I was in the realm of sects' attack on the union. I was in a daze, and I didn't know when I arrived in a dark room. There was someone who looked exactly like me. The person appeared and tried to lure me into cooperating with it, but of course I refused. Then the room disappeared and I came here."

"Have you, Daoyou Huang, seen him before?"

Huang Ziye said: "No, this is the first time that the inner demon has manifested in front of me. When I tried to reach the big realm before, I always created some illusions to confuse me. As long as I see through the illusion and recognize the facts, the inner demon will disappear."

"It's different this time. The inner demon showed up on his own initiative and had a long conversation with me. When I first entered this place, I felt that everything was false and an illusion created by the inner demon."

"There's just one thing I can't figure out no matter what. I clearly recognize reality and illusion, and my mind is very clear. I know my origins and remember the past. Based on past experience, I should have seen through the illusion and my inner demons should have disappeared. , why are you stuck here and unable to return to reality?"

"Gradually, I understood that this place is an independent existence of out-of-control chaos, not some illusion. Only by escaping from here can we return to reality."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, can you tell me how you got here? We can refer to each other and find some flaws."

Tangning hesitated for a moment and said, "My friend Huang Dao and I had roughly the same experience. When I was trying to achieve the Fusion Realm, I stumbled into a dark room. A demon who looked exactly like me appeared and persuaded me to cooperate with him and escape. . After I refused, it opened the stone wall of the room, and then I came here.

"However, this inner demon is not the first time I have seen it. It appeared when I attacked the Transformation God, and then appeared again when I attacked the Void Refining. This is the time it has appeared."

At this time, everyone else in the cave had opened their eyes and listened to their conversation. After listening to his words, several people had different expressions. Jiang Fan, Cao Yuan, and Su Muqing all leaned forward unconsciously, obviously concerned. he said with great interest.

Huang Ziye's eyes lit up: "Oh? Fellow Taoist Tang actually saw inner demons when he was in the realm of transforming gods and refining the void?"

"Is this the first time for these fellow Taoists to see their inner demons?" Seeing their appearance, Tang Ning wondered. If Taixu Illusion Really existed and these people were all real people, why did she only see them three times? I’ve seen my inner demons.

"We have talked to each other before. It is indeed the first time for several fellow Taoists, including me, to encounter inner demons. Fellow Taoist Tang, can you tell me the specific details of how you got rid of the inner demons when you attacked the gods and refining the void? Controlled? It might help us escape from this place."

"Although it appeared when it attacked the Transformation God, it mainly used illusions to trap me. When I realized that it was a trick it played, the inner demon disappeared. When it attacked the Void Refining, Although my consciousness was an illusion, it was still a little shaken at the time, so it was locked in a cage. When my mind became calm, it could no longer affect me, and then it disappeared naturally. "

Huang Ziye frowned slightly when he heard this: "Is it because I am not mentally strong enough?"

"Fellow Daoist Huang, since you are the first among us to come to this illusory realm, have you met anyone else except a few people here?"

"There is a fellow Taoist from Zhang Xuan who fell into Taixu Illusion before me."

"What was his final outcome? Could it be that like fellow Taoist Feng Desheng, his soul was eaten by monsters?"

"He died of natural causes."

Tangning was shocked: "Natural death, what does this mean?"

"His life span has come to an end."

"The end of his life span? How long has he spent here?"

"More than two hundred years."

"It's only been over two hundred years, how could it be that it's over?"

"Even though my hair and beard are all white now and I look like I'm about to die, I've only been here for more than a hundred years. Do you know what I looked like a hundred years ago?" Huang Ziye pointed to Jiang Fan beside him: " Pretty much the same as he is now.”

Tang Ning was suddenly startled: "What did fellow Taoist Zhang Xuan look like when he died?"

"It's almost the same as when Feng Daoyou's soul dissipated. His body became transparent little by little. It's just a slow process, but the ending is the same. His soul completely disappeared from the world."

"Has no one ever escaped from Taixu Illusion?"

"I don't know." Huang Ziye's eyes seemed to ignite a glimmer of light: "Maybe death is the way to escape, but there is only one chance to experiment, and no one is destined to tell the answer."

"Fellow Daoist Huang has been here for more than a hundred years. Have you ever tried to leave here?"

"If there was a way, would I still be here? Now I can only take one step at a time."

"How did you find me?"

"That day, we went to dig ore, and you were lying there, so we naturally found you."

"So what was it like when you first came here?"

"I woke up on my own. There was no one around at that time. I was wandering alone in the mountains and forests. At night, I encountered several wandering bat demons attacking me. I fled all the way, walking day and night. After about a month, I woke up on my own. Yue, I just met Taoist friend Zhang Xuan and started working with him."

Tangning pondered, "How big is this Taixu illusion?"

"We don't know yet."

"Since staying here is a dead end, why not wander outside and maybe find a way to leave."

Huang Ziye said: "Why do fellow Taoists Tang think we go out every day to dig ore? We are stocking up on supplies to prepare for the establishment of a defense camp at the next location. Since I entered the Taixu Illusionary Realm, I have traveled westwards for unknown distances. How many thousands of miles away.”

"We only established this settlement a month ago. Once we have collected enough ore supplies, we will continue to move west until we reach the end of this space."

"We are like ordinary people here. We can't fly to the sky and escape, and we have to guard against all kinds of monsters. We can only camp step by step."

………

A faint and scary scream from outside entered the cave. Tang Ning and Huang Ziye talked all night. The next day, the sky turned white, and the group went out again to mine ore and fruits that nourish the soul.

As the days passed, a few people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, as if they were living a primitive life.

Half a month later, the few people had collected enough ore materials, so they left the camp and traveled a certain distance westward, setting up camp there.

After a period of nourishing his soul by collecting fruit beads, Tang Ning clearly felt stronger than when he first entered this place. This was specifically reflected in the fact that he felt more relaxed and able to carry heavy objects on his back.

He was always dubious about the authenticity of the Taixu illusion. Although he wanted to leave, he had no better way.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed by in the blink of an eye. He had traveled more than three thousand miles westward, but still had not left the mountains. Sometimes when he went out to dig for supplies, he would be attacked by monsters.

In just a few years, Huang Ziye looked much older, and wrinkles appeared on his face.

On this day, as usual, they were collecting fruit beads that nourish and strengthen the soul. Suddenly, a man in his early forties with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked out of the forest. When he saw everyone, he looked very surprised and looked at them very warily.

After Huang Ziye introduced him, the man remained silent, but chose to go back to the camp with a few others.

It took several days before he started to communicate.

This person's name is Xu Yan, a monk from Yanzhou. According to him, he fell into the illusion of Taixu when he attacked Lianxu. After he woke up, he walked in the mountains for three days and three nights when he heard noises and faint voices. Just came to a few people.

Time passed like water, and a few years later, Huang Ziye had aged badly. He gradually became unable to walk, and his body slowly became transparent. A month later, his soul finally dissipated completely.

…

After Huang Ziye's death, Tang Ning became the decision-maker of the team. Although he was not the first to enter the fantasy world, due to his advanced cultivation in the real world, the others vaguely took him as the leader.

After so many years in Taixu Illusion, he has adapted to the environment here and knows how to find pearl fruits and ores.

Day after day, year after year of hard work and marching westward, Tang Ning's face gradually showed an aging look, and gray hair grew on his temples. He had traveled countless thousands of miles westward, but he still had not left this mountain range. .

He had many doubts, but he had no choice. To this day, he has regarded reaching the end of space as his only mission.

During this period, the souls of Su Muqing and Cao Yuan disappeared one after another. Both of them were attacked and killed by monsters when they went out to collect supplies.

As time went by, his beard and hair became increasingly pale, and wrinkles appeared on his face. As time went by, he gradually became unable to walk, his body became transparent little by little, his consciousness became groggy, and the memories of the past in his mind kept flashing before his eyes like a horse. Flashed.

…

In the dim room, a handsome-looking man walked toward Tang Ning, who was lying motionless on the ground, with a smile on his lips.

Its mouth grew wider and wider, like a ferocious beast eating its prey, and its face also changed accordingly. Its delicate facial features faded away, and a ferocious and dark face emerged. In an instant, its entire body became jet black, and there were many splatters scattered around it. Black air like smoke.

It lay flat on its back and gradually became one with Tang Ning's body, and the black energy from the whole body poured into her body like a tiger pounced upon.

As more and more black energy poured into Tang Ning's body, Tang Ning's body gradually became pitch black while it itself gradually dissipated.

Just as the two gradually became one, a ball of dark matter emerged from Tangning's body, absorbing all the black energy pouring in from the man.

The man's expression suddenly became extremely frightened, and he wanted to struggle to escape, but he was completely enveloped by the dark substance.

Just when the man was about to be melted by the dark matter, something seemed to be injected into his body. His face was distorted, and a vaguely human face appeared. He suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Tangning, and revealed a meaning. The deep smile disappeared immediately.

As the man exuding black energy was swallowed up by the dark substance, the entire room twisted and shattered inch by inch.
