Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tianyuan City, Shangqing Sect, in the spacious and bright hall, a thin old man with slightly white temples came in from the outside. He was none other than Xiang Yunchen, the Supreme Elder of Shangqing Sect.

"Fellow Taoist, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing?" An old man with white hair and beard sat inside, standing up and smiling.

Xiang Yunchen, with a serious face and no smile, walked towards the main seat and sat down: "Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist Jiang is here today. I don't know what he has to say."

The old man smiled slightly, glanced at the monks standing aside, and sat down under the guests: "Fellow Taoist is still as cheerful as ever, and he speaks quickly."

"Step back." He waved his hand to Yun Chen, and the man retreated, and the stone door creaked shut.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Today, you come to this sect in person. You must not be here to chat with me. You can say anything you want now."

"Then I'll be blunt. I discovered a secret about ascending to the immortal world, and I would like to invite fellow Taoist Xiang to participate."

Hearing this, Xiang Yunchen's eyes suddenly shrank, his straight body leaned forward unconsciously, his eyes were like an eagle's lightning, staring at the old man closely, as if he wanted to see through his soul.

The old man's smile remained unchanged, and he looked directly at him without giving in. The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

"Old Monster Jiang, are you teasing Xiang? This matter of ascending to the immortal world has long been a myth. And since you have this secret, how can you share it with me?"

"Because I am not sure on my own and need your help and your sect's help. Is this reason enough?"

Xiang Yunchen's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, still staring at him closely: "Go on."

"You must already know that Taixuanzong has produced a genius unprecedented in ancient and modern times. He broke through the Mahayana realm in less than three thousand years. He advanced from the combined body to the early Mahayana realm in less than six hundred years. It took four hundred years to break through the middle Mahayana realm. And his strength is tyrannical. , when he was in the early stage of Mahayana, he faced adversity and killed the royal bloodline of the Ice Phoenix clan in the middle stage of Mahayana who had immortal magical powers. After being promoted to the middle stage of Mahayana, he was ambushed by a late Mahayana monk of unknown origin who had mastered the secrets of Guizong and Daodezong, and he did the same. Duo Rang, repel him. Your Majesty must also be investigating the secret behind this person!"

"Your information fell behind. Now he has killed the Peacock King of the Mubei Demon Clan and led his troops to recover the three counties of Qingzhou that had been occupied by the Mubei Demon Clan for two thousand years."

"Oh? Really? I recently went to the Artifact Realm. After returning from there, I went directly to Guizong and did not receive the latest information about him. But this is not beyond my expectation. Don't say that he killed Mu Bei Yao The Peacock King of our clan, I wouldn’t be surprised even if I killed you and me. That’s why I came to you.”

"You mean, he has something to do with ascending to the immortal world?"

"I can say with certainty that the opportunity for us to ascend to the immortal world lies in this child."

Xiang Yunchen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because I have completely grasped the secret of why his cultivation has been so rapid. Maybe you don't believe it, and I didn't believe it at first, so I went to the Artifact Realm in person to confirm that this child did not break through from the Fusion Realm less than six hundred years ago. Mahayana, in fact, it only took him less than forty years to break through to the Mahayana realm.”

"Forty years?" Xiang Yunchen's eyes narrowed. Although it sounded shocking, he knew that the old man would never make a mistake: "How are you sure?"

"It's less than forty years, maybe a year, maybe a month, or maybe a day." The old man said slowly: "I found enough personal and material evidence in the world of artifacts. You want to know his identity?" His true identity? I tell you, he is the messenger of the gods in the immortal world."

"Messenger of the gods?" Xiang Yunchen's pupils narrowed suddenly. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't stop the turmoil in his heart when he heard the name.

"This is the name given to him by a certain orc clan that surrendered to him in the world of the dead. I am looking for you to confirm this."

"Confirm that he is a messenger from the gods?" Xiang Yunchen felt extremely ridiculous: "Old Monster Jiang, are you crazy about wanting to become an immortal? You don't really believe that he is a messenger sent by the gods in the immortal world! Still have to confirm.”

Instead of being annoyed, the old man smiled slightly: "Your reaction is right. It was the same when I first listened to the investigation report of the people below. I sneered and dismissed it. But I still went to the Artifact World in person, and after my strict Investigation, this matter is more complicated than I thought.”

"Don't you, Fellow Daoist Xiang, feel that there have been more and more weird things happening in Tianyuan in recent years? First, the demons desperately attacked the seal and invaded this realm nearly 10,000 years earlier than expected. What stimulated them?"

"And there is Tangning, a genius who came out of nowhere. Has there ever been a person in the Tianyuan world whose cultivation level has improved so rapidly since ancient times?"

"In addition to the mysterious organization behind Zhang Shilin, who was taken away from his body, where did so many unknown high-level monks appear and scattered in various states and counties? They seem to be inquiring about something?"

"The late Mahayana monk who ambushed Tang Ning in Qingzhou should be from this organization. Why did he ambush Tang Ning?"

Xiang Yunchen narrowed his eyes slightly and was silent for a while: "What exactly did you find in the world of artifacts?"

The old man said: "I don't know if you have checked Tangning's files. His real rise to fame and his rapid cultivation actually started after he went to the Artifact Realm. He was missing there for more than three hundred years. After returning, he cultivated In order to break through the late stage of refining the void, there will be rapid progress."

"Therefore, I concluded that there was an ulterior secret in the Qiling Realm. After I sent people to investigate, I found the location of an orc named Haiyue Clan, and I learned part of the truth."

"The Haiyue tribe is a tribe of orcs who believe in the god of death. Tang Ning is called the messenger of the god of death, and the man who calls himself the god of death has also visited the orcs."

"The orcs control the space passage leading to another interface. They call it the Necronomicon..."

………

The old man told Yunchen the details of what he was investigating. The more he listened, the more surprised he became. The more he listened, the more incredible he found it.

If this was said by someone else, he would definitely think it was a fantasy, but when it came from the other person's mouth, it was very credible.

"If you don't believe what I say, fellow Taoist Xiang, follow me to the spirit world and everything will become clear to you."

After being silent for a while, Xiang Yunchen said slowly: "What are you going to do?"

The old man said: "This matter is too involved. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous, so I have to discuss it with fellow Taoist Xiang. Now I know clearly that Tangning controls the entire necromancy world and can dispatch more than a dozen Mahayana necromance cultivators at any time. , In addition, it is unknown whether he has any other power that he can mobilize secretly, and the whereabouts of the woman who claims to be the god of death is unknown."

"And our actions in the spirit world may be noticed by him in some way at any time. We don't have so much time to plan slowly, but we can't risk a direct conflict with him, nor can we make it known to everyone."

"After much thought, I have to come up with a plan."

………

At the gate of Taixuanzong Mountain, in front of the majestic and majestic cave, a ray of light fell down, revealing Tang Ning's figure.

Not long after, a disciple inside hurriedly came out and led him into the inner room.

In the room, Shangguan Yuancheng was sitting upright, waiting for his arrival. Tangning came in from the outside and saluted him: "I have seen the master."

"Why are you back? What's important?"

Tang Ning sat down as he was told: "To be honest with you, Master, I came back to the mountain gate this time to ask the master to agree to something. I want to be transferred back to the mountain gate so that I can practice with peace of mind. Please ask the master to send someone else to Qingzhou!"

"Go back to the mountain gate?" Shangguan Chengyuan looked at him deeply: "Why is this?"

"The three counties of Qingzhou have been recovered, and there is no need for me anymore. If I stay there, it will only be an eyesore. There is no need to stay. It is better to go back to the mountain gate to feel more comfortable. I have previously submitted documents to Senior Brother Han, hoping to resign from Qingwu I have the position of camp manager and Qingzhou Allied Forces manager, but Senior Brother Han said that he does not have this right, so I came back to ask for your permission."

Tangning didn't mince words and stated her demands straight to the point.

At this time, Shangguan Chengyuan had not received the report from Qingzhou. Since Tangning came to Taixuanzong directly after leaving Qingzhou Allied Forces, the person who sent the intelligence information could not be faster than him.

Although there was no report on this, Tang Ning's words clearly stated the problem, that is, he had someone in Qingzhou who didn't get along with him, and he couldn't stay here any longer.

Of course Shangguan Chengyuan could hear this obvious overtone, and he said calmly: "I have already heard about your deeds in Qingzhou. You killed the Peacock King in a battle in Pingyuan County, and thus recovered three counties in one fell swoop. After hearing this, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. The sect is planning to give you a reward."

"The sect has been so kind to me. Without the sect's support, I wouldn't be where I am today. Everything I have done is to repay the sect's support and help me, so there is no need for a reward. I just hope that the master can allow me to return to the sect. That’s enough.”

"You killed the Peacock King and your reputation is at its peak. Why do you want to return to the sect at this time? If you are not in charge of Qingzhou, other people will be in fear."

"To be honest, I don't want to leave Qingzhou, but I don't have the face to go back. When I captured the three counties of Qingzhou, in order to encourage those disciples, I promised to reward and support them after taking the three counties of Qingzhou. After the war, I told Senior Brother Han I raised this matter and recommended dozens of disciples of the Combined Lianxu to serve in the Wuwei camp in these three counties. Unexpectedly, they were rejected by Senior Brother Yang. None of the candidates on the list were approved. If I failed to do what I vowed to do, how could I have any face? Stay in Qingzhou and face those disciples, please send someone else!"

"I see." Shangguan Yuancheng nodded slightly: "Let's do this! Junior Brother Han and I will discuss it. Since he is a disciple who has made meritorious service, he should be promoted when it is time to promote him. I believe Junior Brother Yang will understand."

"Then I would like to thank the master for those disciples. In order to repay the sect's great kindness, I ignored the danger and went deep into the enemy's territory. Relying on the sect's great fortune, I was lucky enough to kill the Peacock King. Therefore, I recovered the three counties, which can be regarded as repaying the sect's kindness in guiding me. Now that Qingzhou has been pacified, I am no longer needed. Besides, I am disheartened and don’t want to go to Qingzhou anymore. I just want to practice peacefully in the sect. I hope the master will understand and please transfer me back to the sect!”

"Junior Brother Tang, don't be impulsive. You have been running all the way. Let's rest for a day. We will discuss this matter again."

"Then I won't bother you anymore and say goodbye." Tangning stood up and left. Shangguan Yuancheng frowned tightly as he watched him leave.

When Tang Ning returned to the cave, Liu Ruhan immediately came to greet her: "Husband, what's the Master's attitude?"

"Let them make their choice! We don't have to worry about it."

The reason why he brought Liu Ruhan back to Shanmen was to tell everyone that he was going to settle down at Shanmen. If he does not meet his conditions, he will not return to Qingzhou again. Bringing him back with his wife only shows his firmness. (End of chapter)
