Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning stood up and opened the stone door. Liu Ruhan was practicing with her eyes closed in the opposite room. She waited for him to prevent him from being disturbed while practicing the Guiyuan Technique.

Hearing the sound of the stone door, Liu Ruhan stood up from her meditation and came to greet him: "Husband, you are out of meditation."

"Yes. The Guiyuan Technique has finally been perfected, and the Shenyou Technique has successfully broken through the eighth level. Is there anything going on recently?"

"Master is back, and she has been successfully elected as the leader of the Qingxuan Hall of the sect."

"Oh? I didn't expect the selection process to be so fast." Tang Ning nodded nonchalantly. He controlled all of this, and it was within his expectations. Naturally, he was not surprised: "Then let's go meet her!"

The two left here and came to Nangong Muxue's cave. After exchanging a few words, they sat down.

"I was able to be promoted to this position so smoothly, thanks to your efforts. Those people in the sect were afraid of you, so they recommended me almost without any resistance. What are your plans for the next step? When are you going to confront the headmaster?" Nangong Muxue said. He already knew about Tang Ning's negotiations with the demons.

"It's not time yet, wait a little longer!"

"Do you need me to sound out the headmaster first?"

"No, I'm sure I can convince them."

"If the demons can withdraw their troops and resolve the war peacefully, it will be a great benefit."

………

Time is like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, several years have passed.

Tianyuan City, Shangqing Sect’s mountain gate, in a dark room, Xiang Yunchen was sitting cross-legged in the inner room practicing. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He opened his eyes and waved to open the heavy stone door. A disciple from the outer room walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Elder, Taixuan Sect’s Tang Ning is asking for an audience outside the sect. The head of the sect sent someone to invite you to meet him in the mansion."

"Tang Ning is here?" Xiang Yunchen's eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up, left the room, and came to the towering cave. A middle-aged man with a fair complexion was sitting in the inner room. It was Shangqing Sect’s head of sect Lu Chen.

"Brother Xiang is here. Tang Ning came to visit me suddenly, and I don't know why. So I came to ask Brother Xiang, do you know why he came to visit?"

"Where is he now?"

"Still waiting outside the sect."

"Did he come alone?"

"Yes."

Xiang Yunchen pondered, "I don't know why he came suddenly. Now Qingzhou is fighting with the demons. He, the commander, is not in Qingzhou, but came here instead. There must be something important."

"I thought so too. So I quickly sent someone to inform Brother Xiang."

"Anyway, let's meet first."

"Okay." Lu Chen responded, and then ordered his disciples to invite him.

Not long after, Tang Ning came to his house. After a few polite words, the two sides sat down as host and guest.

"I don't visit you for no reason. I came here today to discuss an important matter with your sect." Tang Ning sat down and said directly.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, please speak."

"I wonder how much the two Daoists know about the Demon Realm?"

Xiang Yunchen said slowly: "We know very little about them, certainly not as much as Fellow Daoist Tang knows, so please teach us."

"The Demon Realm is also known as the Apocalypse Realm. This realm is extremely vast, with many practicing races. I estimate that there are at least no less than a thousand Mahayana-level cultivators, among which the elders of the Senate should all be powerful people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. This time the demons are invading on a large scale, which is different from the past. This time they have made up their minds. The Senate has ordered to occupy the Tianyuan Realm at all costs. The demons that have arrived at the Tianyuan Realm are only their vanguards, and more demons will come through the secret realm in the future. This will be a life-and-death battle between the cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm and the Apocalypse Realm."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, and Lu Chen asked: "How does Fellow Daoist Tang know this?"

"I captured a big man in Qingzhou. Riding a demon, it knows it from it. "

Xiang Yunchen's eyes lit up: "How did Fellow Daoist Tang get the information from the demon? Can you communicate with the demons?"

Tang Ning smiled slightly: "Has Fellow Daoist Xiang forgotten? I can communicate with the monks of the dead world. This is a gift from the great gods. I can communicate with practitioners of all races, including the monks of the Apocalypse World."

Xiang Yunchen suddenly realized: "I only thought you could communicate with the creatures of the dead world, but I didn't expect that even the demons could talk to them. So, Fellow Daoist Tang has known all the plans of the demons."

"Not only that, I also met with the elders of the Elders' Academy, the chief commander of the demons who invaded Qingzhou. This is exactly why I came to discuss with the two fellow Daoists. I proposed peace conditions to them, and I hope your sect can support it."

The two were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect Tang Ning to have contact with the demons.

Xiang Yunchen asked suspiciously: "Didn't Daoist Tang just say that the Demon Elders' Council has ordered to occupy the Tianyuan Realm at all costs? In this case, are they willing to accept peace talks? What conditions are required?"

"The whole thing is actually a misunderstanding. Let me tell you slowly." Tang Ning said.

"This matter has to start from the ruins. The ruins are an independent world created by the previous space god, but due to various reasons, it did not achieve its original idea. The flow of time there is extremely slow, about one year is equivalent to ten thousand years in the outside world, and no life is allowed there. Only the soul can go there."

"I said before that after the death of the former space Taoist, the space channel connecting the fairy world to the various worlds collapsed, making it impossible for practitioners from all walks of life to ascend to the fairy world, so they went to the abandoned land with their souls."

"With more and more people, the Abandoned Land has also changed. The flow of time is getting faster and faster, and the natural treasures that nourish the souls are in short supply. So the practitioners in the Abandoned Land have sealed all the passages together, and no one can go there anymore."

"Now that the new space ancestor has been born, the space passages connecting the fairy world to the other worlds have also been established, and those who returned from the Abandoned Land have returned to their respective worlds. But in the process, there was a misunderstanding. Those practitioners in the Abandoned Land all believed that only the Tianyuan Realm had established a space passage connecting to the fairy world."

"After the practitioners from the Abandoned Land of the Apocalypse Realm returned, they were captured by the strong men of the Apocalypse Realm Senate. After learning the news, they ordered to occupy the Tianyuan Realm at all costs."

"This is why they invaded Tianyuan nearly ten thousand years earlier than expected, and the momentum was so strong."

The two listened to him telling the reason, and they were all shocked in their hearts, but they still tried to keep calm on their faces.

Lu Chen's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Does Brother Tang want to negotiate with them by using the bargaining chip of the space channel connecting to the fairyland?"

"Yes, I plan to tell them the location of the space channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm, so that they will withdraw their troops. Then we can share the space channel together."

Xiang Yunchen asked: "Brother Tang, did you learn about the abandoned land from the demons or from that great god?"

"Brother Xiang, there is no need to doubt the source of the news, it is 100% reliable. Among those cultivators in the dead world, there are those who have returned from the abandoned land."

Xiang Yunchen nodded, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind: "Wait, Brother Dao just said that those People go to the Abandoned Land with their souls, so after they return, do they need to take over other people's bodies to practice again? Are those mysterious monks we are tracking the ones who returned from the Abandoned Land? "

"Yes. The two mysterious monks found by your sect and the late Mahayana monk who ambushed me in Qingzhou are all the ones who returned from the Abandoned Land, and I have already contacted them and reached a consensus. "

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other again. They had discussed several times before that Tang Ning might have other unknown trump cards besides the helpers from the Dead Spirit Realm. Sure enough, now the cultivators from the Abandoned Land of the Tianyuan Realm have been exposed. There may be unknown forces behind them. Fortunately, both parties sat down to negotiate calmly at that time. If they had started fighting, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Why did they ambush you?"

"Nothing, they found a little secret of mine and became curious about me. Later I found them and solved the problem."

"So, now this group of people are under the command of Tang Daoyou?"

"Just cooperating, just like us."

"I see." Xiang Yunchen nodded as if he had realized something: "What do you want us to do?"

"I want to organize a three-party meeting. Negotiations will be conducted by me, representatives of various forces in Tianyuan Realm and representatives of the Demon Elders Council. We will give up the space channel in Tianyuan Realm and allow the powerful demons to use it to quell the war."

Lu Chen asked with some doubts: "Excuse me, why did you do this?"

"Peace."

"I mean, why did you go to so much trouble to promote peace between Tianyuan Realm and Tianqi Realm? With your cultivation and strength, the invasion of the demons will not affect you. Why are you working so hard, even for this Don't hesitate to reveal the secrets of the fairy world to more people who don't know. "

"To be honest, I was a little hesitant at first. Until the demon invasion broke out in Qingzhou, many people I knew died in this war. If it is not resolved in this way, the war between the Tianqi Realm and the Tianyuan Realm will continue for a long time. There is no doubt that more people will die because of this. With my cultivation, I don't need to worry too much, but many people who are closely related to me may not be spared. This can be avoided, so I decided to promote this negotiation and end the war. "

Lu Chen's face changed, and he said solemnly: "Daoyou Gaoyi, I admire you."

Xiang Yunchen asked again: "Daoyou Tang, does the demon clan know about the stable space channel in the dead world? "

"I don't know, I just told them that there is a channel to the fairy world in the Tianyuan Realm. "

"Good, wonderful." Shang Yunchen's face, which has always been serious, showed a smile. The space channel of the Tianyuan Realm is not stable, and it is more appropriate to let the demon clan test the water.

"Do you two Daoists agree with this plan?"

The two looked at each other and nodded. Lu Chen said, "It would be best if we can resolve this life-and-death war peacefully. We are willing to do our best. Daoist Tang, just tell us what to do. Our sect fully supports us."

"You two know that the space channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm to the Immortal Realm is at Qinghai New Port, which is the territory of Qingzhou, so the first thing we need is our sect's support. After that, we will summon the leaders of various forces in the name of your sect to reach an internal consensus first, and then negotiate with the representatives of the Demon Elders Council."

"If we do this, we must tell them the whole story. I wonder if Daoist Tang intends to tell them about the stable and safe space channel in the Dead World." Xiang Yunchen pondered. Over the years, Shangqing Sect and the Chamber of Commerce have collected a large number of demon pills and magic crystals and sent them to Tang Ning for the space channel in the Dead World. Now they want to make it public, which means that all their previous efforts have been in vain and they are just making wedding clothes for others.

"Only your clan and the Merchant Alliance know about the space channel in the Dead World. This is what you deserve for your compensation. I will only tell others about the space channel in the Tianyuan World."

"That's good. I also think that the space channel in the dead world should not be known by too many people."

Lu Chen asked: "Has your sect's fellow Daoist Shangguan already known about this?"

"He doesn't know yet. I visited you two first today because I hope that Daoyou will follow me to the sect's mountain gate to explain this to Brother Shangguan. These things are too shocking for people who don't know. It's probably not credible if I say it alone. If your sect can have Daoyou as a witness, I believe it will convince Brother Shangguan."

"That's no problem. I'm willing to go with Daoyou Tang." (End of this chapter)
