Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"This is all basic information. It is not difficult to know. Fellow Taoist Tang has been back to Taixuan Mountain Gate for several months. The news must have spread secretly. For such a big matter, no matter which sect or sect, will follow up immediately. I understand. The two fellow Taoists have not returned to the mountain gate recently. If they go back to Guizong and ask about it, they will definitely know about it. "

The man on the left had a vague look in his eyes: "I didn't expect it! Taixuanzong actually produced such a character. Since he stayed well in Qingzhou, why did he come to the headquarters to replace Taoist Rao?"

"I don't know about this. This is an internal matter. It's not good to ask." After Ying Yuan said that, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, footsteps were heard from outside. Tangning strode inside. He glanced at the two people sitting on the left and right, bowed his head to Ying Yuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Ying, why did you call me here?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please take a seat. Let me introduce these two Taoist friends to you. These are Taoist Taoists Deng Shiyuan from the Daode Sect and Taoist Yi Wenpang from the Yuxu Sect."

Tang Ning sat down as instructed, nodded to the two of them and said, "I have long admired the names of these two fellow Taoists. I'm a newbie here and don't know much about the affairs of this department. I hope you can count on these two fellow Taoists in the future."

Yi Wenpang smiled and said: "I have long admired the name of Taoist friend Tang. When I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true. You are indeed the most outstanding figure in your sect. As I remember correctly, you should be your sect's best friend." He must be the youngest Mahayana monk in modern times! In terms of time to break through to the Mahayana realm, there seems to be no one more outstanding than Taoist friend. It seems that the future of your sect should fall on you. "

"Fellow Daoist Yi has received too much praise, and I am not worthy of it. I am here today only because of luck. I am very lucky to be here today, and I dare not take on the responsibility of our sect in the future."

"Fellow Taoist Tang is too modest. Please forgive me for being honest. Your sect is now on the decline. This family is in decline. There must be a son with amazing talent and luck to change the decline. Taoist friend enters the country. With such rapidity and abundant longevity, it is only a matter of time before the breakthrough to the late Mahayana period. In the future, who can Taixuanzong rely on if he does not rely on fellow Taoists for support? "

"I don't dare to take this as a child of fate. It would be great if I can save my life in this troubled world."

Deng Shiyuan answered: "Fellow Taoist Tang, I heard that it took you less than six hundred years to go from integration to the Mahayana realm. Is this true?"

When Tang Ning saw him asking this question, she was not surprised at all. It was impossible to hide this matter. With the intelligence capabilities of the Qing Sect, Daode Sect, and Yuxu Sect, it was easy to inquire about his life history.

It had been several months since he returned to Tianyuan City, and interested people must have noticed him. Therefore, it was not surprising that others knew about this matter, so he replied calmly: "That is indeed the case."

"In less than six hundred years, he broke through the Mahayana from unity. It is shocking to the world. Except for Taoist Taoist Tang, there is no one else in the world. Do you mind telling me how you did it? We were all very surprised when we heard about it. Most people don't talk about it. From the early stage of integration to Mahayana, even if it takes only six hundred years to break through to Mahayana in the later stage of integration, it can be considered a rapid progress. "

"To be honest, it's not worth mentioning. I got a lot of spirit-boosting pills from an ancient ruins, and I relied on them to improve my cultivation by leaps and bounds."

"My fellow Taoist has both talent and luck. I really envy me. I remember that when I broke through to the Mahayana realm, I went through all kinds of hardships and it was exhausting my efforts."

………

The few people chatted with each other, ranging from their cultivation to the situation in the world. Tangning also learned a lot of information from them.

In the early days of Mahayana cultivation, Deng Shiyuan was the steward of Yuan Yidian of the Taoist Sect. He was born in the master-disciple line and has been practicing for more than 7,000 years.

There are twenty-five Mahayana monks in the Daode Sect, including three late-stage Mahayana monks. There are now twelve people stationed at the mountain gate.

Yi Wenpang also cultivated in the early stage of Mahayana and was the manager of the Yuxu Sect's Secret Academy. He came from a lineage of aristocratic families and has been practicing for nearly seven thousand years.

There are thirty-one Mahayana monks in Yuxu Sect, including five late-stage Mahayana monks, and there are currently fourteen people stationed at the mountain gate.

After the discussion, several people left. Tang Ning returned to the cave and had just sat down cross-legged. Less than a stick of incense later, there was another knock on the door. After the stone door opened, Jia Yuan went inside and saluted: "This is for Uncle Tang Master. , Junior Brother Zhuang Qing is asking for a meeting outside the house."

"Invite him in!"

"Yes." Jia Yuan responded. Not long after, a thin man with a solemn face came in from the outside. He looked down and bowed to him and said, "Disciple Zhuang Qing pays homage to Uncle Tang."

This person was Liu Ruhan's disciple, who had now reached the early stage of Void Refining. Tang Ning looked at him and nodded slightly.

"I heard your master mention you a long time ago. I went back to Shanmen some time ago and asked people about you. I knew that you were in the Xuanmen Alliance Army, so I didn't rush to send someone to inform you. Before I came to Shanmen, your master had many She mentioned to me once that she wanted me to visit you. Although she has not been with you these years, she still misses you in her heart. You can’t blame her for not taking care of you all these years!”

"The disciple is scared. The master has shown kindness to the disciple. Without his mentor, there would be no disciple today. The disciple has been very guilty for failing to fulfill his filial piety in front of the master all these years. How dare the disciple blame the master? I dare to ask the master, the master is in Qingzhou everything is fine?"

"She is very good, you don't need to worry. And your disciple Gao Pan is now in Qingzhou and everything is fine. Originally, after I returned to Qingzhou, I planned to arrange for Pan'er and his mother to be with me, but I was The headmaster called Shanmen back, and after much deliberation, he came to serve in the Xuanmen Alliance Army."

"Disciple just heard that you were here, so I came to visit you. I hope I won't disturb your purification."

"We are all members of our family, so don't be polite. You also know that this is my first time coming to Tianyuan City. I am new to this. I don't know many things and there is no one I can trust around me. It would be nice to have you here. From now on Just follow me! You may understand things here better than me."

"Yes, disciple, I obey."

The two chatted for a long time. Tang Ning was quite satisfied with this 'disciple' who had never been masked before. Judging from his words and deeds, he had a quite stable personality, kept silent and rarely spoke, and behaved well. In addition, Liu Ruhan had been showing off her temperament over the years. Not by his side, but he almost relied on his own ability to break through to the Void Refining Realm, at least the future is promising.

………

There was not much going on when the Xuanmen Allied Forces were stationed in Tianyuan City, and their lives were very peaceful. Decades passed by in a blink of an eye.

On this day, as usual, Tangning was irrigating the gourd ice crystals with green spiritual power indoors. There was a knock on the door. He put away the gourd, sat down cross-legged, waved his hand and shot out a burst of spiritual power. After the stone door opened, Zhuang Qing came in from outside and bowed to him.

"Uncle Master, Senior Ying has sent someone. Please go to the meeting hall immediately and say that you have important matters to discuss."

Tang Ning nodded, stood up and walked out to the meeting hall, where Ying Yuan, Deng Shiyuan, and Yi Wenpang were already seated.

Ying Yuan said solemnly: "Everyone is here. We have called you here today because there is an important matter. Just now, people from the Daode Sect came to negotiate. They received a request for help from Liangzhou and asked their headquarters to go to Liangzhou immediately to help Liangzhou. The coalition forces repulsed the invasion of demons. It is reported that a large number of demons invaded Liangzhou through the secret space. This invasion is quite large. Although Liangzhou is struggling to resist, it is unable to control it. Many counties have been invaded by demons. Occupied.”

"Fellow Daoist Deng, Liangzhou is your territory. You should know something about this! It's up to you to explain the current situation in Liangzhou to Friends Daoist Tang and Yi."

"Okay." Deng Shiyuan nodded and responded: "Previously, the leader of our sect recalled me to the sect and talked about the situation in Liangzhou. As we all know, there are six counties in Liangzhou. The most serious outbreak of demons is in Hanoi County. Henan and Hedong County extension."

"From what we know so far, Hanoi County has basically been occupied by the demons, and there is no longer a team of Liangzhou coalition troops stationed there. And several counties in Hedong and Henan counties bordering Hanoi County are controlled by the demons."

"Now the Liangzhou coalition forces are guarding Hedong and Henan counties. Our sect has organized a group of reinforcements and will rush to Liangzhou immediately."

Ying Yuan said: "Without further delay, everyone, please prepare. We will set off to Liangzhou County in five days. Is there anything you are unclear about?"

Tang Ning said: "Tang is not very familiar with the situation in Liangzhou. Fellow Daoist Deng, how many troops are there in the Liangzhou coalition and how many Mahayana monks are stationed there?"

"The Liangzhou coalition has fifteen legions and fifteen Mahayana monks. In addition, there are about ten Mahayana monks from all the Xuanmen families in Liangzhou."

"What about the demons? How many troops are invading Liangzhou this time?"

"Since Hanoi County has been occupied by the demon clan, it is unknown whether there is a steady influx of demon clan in the secret realm within it. It is conservatively estimated that no less than ten Mahayana monks from the demon clan have entered Hanoi County."

"So many people came at once? Has there ever been a demonic invasion in Liangzhou before?"

"Never before. This is the first time that the demons have invaded Liangzhou. I didn't expect it to be so huge. The Liangzhou coalition forces had previously deployed heavy troops in Hongnong and Gaoling counties to guard against the demons. Henan County had very few troops. The demons passed through the secret realm of space. The influx took over Hanoi County with almost no effort.”

"Just now Deng Daoyou said that Guizong has organized a group of reinforcements and will rush to Liangzhou. I wonder how many people Guizong sent out this time?"

"This sect is led by Senior Brother Wei Wentong, the master of Xuande Palace, plus two junior brothers and a group of disciples."

"Are we rushing to Liangzhou with Guizong?"

"No, this headquarters is an independent organization. It acts alone and is not under the command of the Daode Sect." Ying Yuan continued.

Tangning nodded and said nothing more. A few people chatted casually about the situation in Liangzhou, then ended the discussion and everyone left the hall. (End of chapter)
