Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Time flies, the days go by like a shuttle.

It is autumn again, the green leaves have turned yellow, the breeze blows, and the dead leaves rustle.

Autumn is the season of harvest.

In the dim room, ice crystals float out of the gourd, and the rich spiritual energy fills the whole room in an instant.

Tang Ning couldn't hide his joy, like a farmer who harvested a lot of fruits, he couldn't let go and caressed each round, plump and crystal clear ice crystal.

Because the quality of the demon pill and magic crystal is higher than before, the condensed ice crystal not only has a richer and purer spiritual power, but also a larger and rounder appearance.

Liu Ruhan sat beside him, also with a happy face.

The couple was speechless, their joy was beyond words.

"Husband, please swallow these ice crystals quickly. I will go to the outside to keep you from being disturbed." Seeing that another batch of ice crystals in the gourd had been fully revealed, Liu Ruhan was overjoyed and left the room.

The stone door closed again, and Tang Ning sat down and swallowed the floating ice crystals into his stomach.

A large amount of spiritual power immediately flowed through his body and finally returned to the Linghai acupoint. As the ice crystals entered his stomach, his spiritual power surged.

After an unknown period of time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura rose steadily, and he successfully broke through to the late Mahayana stage.

Finally reaching this step, Tang Ning was overjoyed and even wanted to let out a long roar.

Since meeting Jiang Ting'an and Xiang Yunchen, he has been worried about breaking through to the late Mahayana stage quickly. Now he finally got what he wanted. It was as if a heavy stone fell from his heart, and he felt that his body became extremely light.

Although he was happy to break through to the late Mahayana stage in one fell swoop, he was not too surprised.

Because he already knew that he would not encounter a bottleneck in his practice, and a breakthrough was only a matter of time. He was happy because he did not expect to have a breakthrough this time.

He originally thought that he would have to wait for the next harvest of ice crystals to break through to the late Mahayana stage, but he did not expect that the quality of the ice crystals this time was unexpectedly high, and it actually helped him reach the late Mahayana stage directly, which was beyond his expectations.

In total, it took him only six hundred years from the middle Mahayana stage to the late Mahayana stage, and he had harvested a batch of ice crystals in the meantime. This was the second time he had swallowed ice crystals since breaking through the middle Mahayana stage.

Six hundred years was not a long time for his lifespan, but compared to the progress of others' practice, it was a thousand miles a day.

However, with his experience of advancing from the early Mahayana stage to the middle Mahayana stage in the previous four hundred years, even if others were surprised this time, they would not be too surprised.

Tang Ning slowly stood up and walked out of the room. Liu Ruhan was sitting at the opposite door. Seeing that he had broken through the late Mahayana stage so smoothly, she was very happy.

"With my cultivation at this stage, I am no longer afraid of threats from anyone. I can help you cultivate in the future. It's a pity that you are stuck at a bottleneck in cultivation now. Otherwise, with the help of the remaining dozens of ice crystals, you can make a big step forward in cultivation." Tang Ning held her hand and said softly. Liu Ruhan has been stuck at the bottleneck of the middle stage of fusion for many years.

"Husband, don't pay attention to me. The key is to cultivate to the Ascension Realm as soon as possible."

"I'm not in a hurry. I have enough lifespan. For me, the Ascension Realm is just a matter of time. When you reach the Ascension Realm, we will go to the Immortal Realm together through the space channel of the Dead Realm."

Liu Ruhan rested her head on his arm and said leisurely: "I don't know when I can break through this bottleneck. Maybe I won't have the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm with my husband."

"Don't talk nonsense. You still have enough lifespan. How can you not break through the bottleneck? Don't worry. When you break through to the late stage of fusion, I will condense ice crystals to help you quickly reach the great perfection of fusion."

The couple returned to the main room and sat snuggling together, chatting about future plans.

………

The sky was clear and cloudless. In the remote mountains, a beam of light shot down and Tang Ning's figure appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, congratulations." Wei Yuan, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw him coming and breaking through the late Mahayana realm. His eyes jumped suddenly, and then he bowed with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I've been waiting for a long time."

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Tang would come in person this time. That's good. I was going to ask Fellow Daoist Nangong to pass on a message to you." Wei Yuan flipped his hands and took out several storage bags: "This is the last batch of demon pills and magic crystals. We have fulfilled the agreement. I don't know when you can redeem the promise."

Tang Ning took the storage bag and put it in his pocket.

Three thousand sixth-level demon pills and magic crystals, three hundred seventh-level demon pills and magic crystals, and thirty eighth-level demon pills and magic crystals were given by the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce in six times. Every hundred years is a trading period. The two agreed on a time and place to meet.

As the guardian of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, if Wei Yuan went to the Qingzhou coalition to find him every time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Neither party wanted this to attract attention, and in the past, Nangong Muxue came to pick up the items during each transaction.

This was of course for the sake of caution. Nangong Muxue was a core member who knew his secrets and knew the details of the transaction, so she was the most suitable candidate. In this way, there was no need to worry about the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce using the transaction to set an ambush. As long as he was safe, Nangong Muxue would not be in trouble.

This was the first time Tang Ning came to the transaction location in person. On the one hand, it was because this was the last transaction. After paying the balance, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce had fulfilled his previous conditions, and he needed to inform the other party of the location of the Tianyuan connecting space channel.

On the other hand, his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Mahayana, which gave him more confidence. In the past, it was just in case. Now, even if the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce had any traps, he would not be afraid.

"This is the location of the space channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm to the Immortal Realm." Tang Ning took out a paper roll and handed it to him.

Wei Yuan was stunned with surprise. He didn't expect Tang Ning to tell him the location so readily. In his mind, this was a shocking event.

Ascending to the immortal world is the ultimate goal of every cultivator. For this, countless people have suffered, countless conspiracies and intrigues have been created, and countless wronged souls have been created.

In today's cultivation world, ascending has become an unattainable dream buried in the hearts of countless people, and has even gradually become an illusory legend.

Now, the opportunity to ascend has reappeared. Even if a little information is leaked, it may cause a great shock in the cultivation world, and there will inevitably be a bloody battle.

Such an earth-shaking event must be repeatedly discussed and conspired to ensure that there is no room for error.

But Tang Ning just handed the secret to him with an ordinary paper roll, which made him feel unreal and absurd, as if they were not discussing ascending to the immortal world, but a trivial matter like where to go for a drink today.

Before he came here, he was already full of excitement. He thought about all the possible situations in his heart. After Tang Ning received the last batch of demon pills and magic crystals, would he reveal the key secret of ascending to the fairyland as agreed? How would he tell it?

This would inevitably bring all parties together to discuss, so where would they meet? When would they meet?

After the location was determined, how would they go to investigate? How would they determine whether it was really a space passage to ascend to the fairyland?

If Tang Ning cheated and made excuses for various reasons and refused to tell the location for the time being, what would they do to retaliate?

How would they issue a serious but gentle warning to Nangong Muxue who was going to trade, and let her tell Tang Ning that it was time to fulfill their promise.

He imagined many scenes in his mind, but he never thought it would be like this.

After a slight pause, Wei Yuan reacted and hurriedly took the paper scroll in his hand. He unfolded it and saw that it was a topographical atlas.

"Where is this?"

"Xingang. I have already drawn the exact location, it's in that circle." Tang Ning responded calmly. He had quietly gone to Xingang before and determined the exact location of the space channel connecting to the fairyland through his eyes. This was just a backup channel for him. If nothing unexpected happened, it would not be needed at all, so he didn't care.

"Xingang?" Wei Yuan frowned slightly, still thinking about which prefecture it was, and suddenly remembered Tang Ning's file, and his eyes widened instantly: "Is it Xingang in Qinghai? Isn't that where you were born?"

"Yes, it's there. Tell fellow Daoist Jiang and fellow Daoist Xiang that this space channel is not stable yet. If you want to ascend to the fairyland through it, the success rate will not exceed 10%, so it's best not to try it easily." After Tang Ning said this, his figure flashed and left here.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look. A figure slowly emerged in the void on the left. It was Yan Jiuzheng who had been hiding in the dark to protect.

"Congratulations, you have finally broken through to the late Mahayana stage. Our agreement has been fulfilled, and you should fulfill your promise."

"The space channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm to the Immortal Realm is on the Qinghai Xingang Island. This is the specific location." Tang Ning handed him the same atlas.

Yan Jiuzheng couldn't wait to open the map and looked at it. He was delighted and said suddenly: "You have been there before. It turned out to be for this matter."

"If you have a way to confirm it, it's not too late to go now, otherwise it will be too late."

"What do you mean?"

"Another force has learned this secret. I believe they will take action soon. If you run into them, you may be in trouble."

Yan Jiuzheng didn't know about his deal with Jiang Ting'an. He was not with him when he negotiated in Hainan, the Spirit Realm, so he naturally didn't know about the agreement between the two parties.

Over the years, although he, Zhuo Jing, and Tao Mo took turns to protect his safety in secret, he didn't meet Jiang Ting'an and Wei Yuan during this period.

He has been staying at the coalition headquarters all the time, and occasionally going out is not for this matter. The first time Wei Yuan came to him, it was in the cave of the coalition headquarters. He naturally didn't know what the two talked about.

The subsequent transactions were conducted by Nangong Muxue and Wei Yuan. Nangong Muxue took the demon pill and magic crystal and returned to the coalition headquarters to give it to him.

Yan Jiuzheng and others didn't know this information. Only when he met Wei Yuan just now, he was noticed by Yan Jiuzheng, but he was too far away, so he couldn't know what the two said specifically.

"Another force? Is it the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce?" Although Yan Jiuzheng didn't know the details, he quickly guessed the truth.

"Yes, it's them. Unfortunately, they just fulfilled my conditions."

"The people who just met you were from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce? Did you tell them this clue?"

"Your mission has been completed, you can leave, I will find you again when I need you." Tang Ning didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and went straight to the coalition headquarters. Looking at his disappearing back, Yan Jiuzheng's eyes flickered, stood for a while, and then disappeared.
