Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Jining Island, in a valley to the west outside the city, there are more than a hundred houses lined up in rows. Although it is dark, there is no light. More than ten red-tailed flaming wolves roar from the southeast and invade the valley.

In an instant, there was a chorus of panic and shouts. A strong young man who had been fighting for his life with a sword and a giant wolf that was several feet in size. His brains were splashed everywhere when he was slapped by one of its claws.

Women and children fled in panic, shouts and cries resounded throughout the valley, red-tailed flaming wolves ran like the wind, hundreds of villagers were not spared, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Just as the giant wolf was eating the corpse, a ray of light shot out from a distance, revealing the figure of a man with straight features, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. It was Xiao Mobai.

Seeing this scene, he became furious. He raised his hands, and several white fireworks condensed from his palms, shooting towards more than ten red-tailed flame wolves. The red fireworks swelled in the wind in mid-air and turned into a size of more than a hundred feet. Shrouded towards the giant wolf.

In an instant, more than a dozen red-tailed flame wolves were engulfed by white fireworks and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Mobai's consciousness spread far away, and the escaping light rose up. He walked around the entire valley and found no other survivors. He went west without stopping.

After walking for more than two days, its escaping light fell into a mountain forest below and headed towards the cave.

It was dark inside, and you couldn't see your fingers. At the end sat a man in a black robe and a bamboo hat.

Xiao Mobai walked up to him, turned his left hand over and handed him a token.

The man took the token, glanced at it, and returned it to him. He pressed his hand on the stone wall and the ground separated to both sides, revealing a foot-wide passage.

Xiao Mobai walked down the passage for several hundred feet, and his eyes suddenly opened up. A vast underground palace came into view, with a palace standing in front of it. There were two men in black clothes and hats guarding the palace.

Xiao Mobai pushed open the door and walked in. Inside was a huge round stone table, with more than ten men and women sitting there.

Seeing his arrival, everyone nodded, and Xiao Mobai also returned the greeting one by one.

As time passed, several more men and women pushed in the door one after another. About an hour later, a man with a fair face came in from the outside. There was a striking red birthmark between his eyebrows. He was the original Qingyang Sect of Xingang. Disciple Xu Wenruo.

With a smile on his face, he nodded to everyone, walked to the innermost seat and sat down, then said: "Today I am calling all fellow Taoists to discuss an important matter. Since the Mubei Allied Forces occupied the island, many casual cultivators have died. Death, escape."

"Due to the large number of monsters breeding on the island, many low-level monsters even hunted mortals for food. However, the Mubei Alliance Army ignored them, causing a large number of monsters to infest. The entire island was sparsely populated, and even the monks were killed by the monsters. Siege to death."

"In view of this situation, the superior organization has given us the latest instructions. On the one hand, we must try to protect the people on the island, especially the young children with spiritual roots. On the other hand, we must win over more casual cultivators on the island."

"Now is the best opportunity to develop and strengthen the organization's strength on this island. Due to the rampant monsters, the monks on the entire island are terrified. If we raise our arms, they will definitely gather in response."

"After discussion with our department, we decided to mobilize all the manpower of the island organization to lobby for the casual cultivators. In the name of preserving ourselves and fighting against the monsters, we first gathered people to form a group. When the time is right, we will then recruit them Winning into the organization.”

"Before this, please do not reveal any information about the organization to avoid exposing your identity and being targeted by the Mubei Allied Forces."

"You are originally loose cultivators on the island. Even if you form a group with others to fight against the monsters, it will be a smooth process and will not attract too much attention."

"You must have many casual cultivator friends around you. You can contact them immediately and gather them together."

"On the other hand, you must pay attention to those young children who have spiritual roots and be as thorough as possible. These are our reserve forces in the future."

Everyone nodded in agreement, Xiao Mobai said: "I have a suggestion."

Xu Wenruo looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please tell me."

Xiao Mobai said: "Our superiors asked us to try to collect as many children as possible with spiritual roots. I think the scope can be wider. Most of those young children with spiritual roots come from ordinary families. Under the current situation , the mortals on the island gathered in the mountains, forests and canyons, hiding themselves to avoid the invasion of monsters. "

"If we forcibly take away the young children who have spiritual roots and gather them for protection, one of them will be suspected of taking them by force, which will easily arouse public indignation. Not only will they not be able to gain gratitude, but they will also harbor resentment."

"Both of them, if many young children with spiritual roots gather alone, it will easily attract the attention and prying eyes of other forces."

"I suggest that each team be responsible for an area, gathering all the human beings who are hiding in the mountains and canyons, and taking care of them. In this way, we can not only take care of the young children who have spiritual roots, but also establish a good reputation, including in the future. The children and grandchildren born among these people, if they have spiritual roots, will naturally become ours.”

Xu Wenruo said: "What Fellow Daoist Xiao said is reasonable, but if the movement is too loud, it will be easily noticed by others. At present, our task is still to lurk and develop and strengthen ourselves. If all the common people on the island are gathered together and protected, It will expose our existence, and those casual cultivators may not be willing to drag themselves down in order to protect ordinary mortals."

Xiao Mobai said: "I cannot agree with what fellow Taoist Xu said. People who have no long-term concerns must have short-term worries. The reason why we are different from forces such as Xuanmen, Demon Sect, Chamber of Commerce and Cultivation Family is precisely because they act cruelly and domineeringly, and only care about the overall situation. I regard all living beings as ants and monks as slaves.”

"Isn't that why all the fellow Taoists present joined the organization, hoping to overthrow the Xuanmen rule and create a new world. Otherwise, we are all free and independent cultivators, so why should we be bound by this."

"Today, in order to develop and strengthen our own power, we turn a blind eye to the sentient beings on the island who have been devastated by the demon clan. How is this different from Xuanmen?"

"I agree with Fellow Daoist Xiao's proposal. If it is just for the sake of self-development, but at the expense of the lives of all sentient beings and allowing them to be devoured by monsters, then what is the point of joining this organization? I cannot accept your decision." Xiao Mobai's voice was clear. Fall, a man with a beard and cheeks said.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is a man of foresight, fellow Taoists, please don't act on impulse. Things may be light or serious, slow or urgent. Now that the entire island is occupied by the Mubei coalition forces, we must act more carefully. If our presence is exposed and we are targeted by the Mubei coalition forces, Our years of forbearance and development will be ruined," said another man with a wide forehead and broad face.

"How can a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death discuss important matters?"

"There is no need for meaningless sacrifices, not to mention that other people in the organization will be involved. If we are exposed, the residents of the island will not be able to escape the monsters. We can only try our best to be considerate. Fellow Daoist Xiao is too naive."

Everyone was talking and even quarreling.

Xu Wenruo waved his hand: "Fellow Taoists, please be patient. Since many Taoists have questioned the decision-making of this department, according to our rules, we will now start an internal vote to see how many people agree with Fellow Daoist Xiao's proposal."

"I agree." The bearded man said first.

"I agree."

"I agree."

There were a total of twenty-four people present, and seven of them soon expressed their support for Xiao Mobai's proposal.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little delicate for a while. Xu Wenruo looked at the others, and the hall fell into silence. After about dozens of breaths, no one spoke again.

Xu Wenruo said: "According to the rules, if the number of people does not reach half, the decision of the higher-level organization cannot be overturned. However, since so many fellow Taoists think that Fellow Daoist Xiao's proposal is reasonable, I will put forward Fellow Daoist Xiao's opinions at the ruling meeting of this island organization. And Before that, I hope you fellow Taoists will not act out of emotion to avoid exposing our existence.”

……………………

On Cangyun Island, in the southeast corner of the city, within a huge cyan light curtain, a huge formation altar with a scale of a hundred miles in diameter stands. The formation altar is thousands of feet high and is made of unknown black material. There are many densely packed runes carved on it.

In Tang Ning's left hand, she held a mysterious pen that was several feet in size, and was tracing strokes on a huge black pillar. There were constant sounds of lightning and flint between the mysterious pen and the mysterious pillar.

This is a thunder-attribute spell rune. It is engraved on the formation stone pillar made of thunder cloud stone through this psychic black pen. As long as the formation is activated, the thunder-attribute spell on it can be activated.

The month before last, due to the large-scale fierce attack by the Mubei Allied Forces, various formation altars in the city were damaged, and the spell runes on them became invalid.

Now that repairs are being stepped up everywhere, the Seventh Wing was assigned to this formation by the column.

In a radius of hundreds of miles, the entire regiment came out in full force, engraving spells and spells of various attributes around the huge formation altar. There were dozens of figures patrolling back and forth in mid-air. They were disciples of the Formation Flag Section of each sect. .

The top brass of the legion organized the disciples of all the sects' formation banners, and were responsible for guiding the construction of the teaching formation altar and the carving of spell runes.

Tang Ning held a mysterious pen in her left hand to carve seals on the Thunder Cloud Pillar, and held a file in her right hand. On it was a drawing of a tall stone pillar.

The stone pillar is imprinted with dense runes, which is the content it wants to engrave.

All he had to do was draw the ladle according to the pattern and carve the seal according to the drawing.

Using the Mystic Brush to carve runes on the Thunder Pillar consumes a lot of spiritual power. If you were a Foundation Establishment Monk, you would probably be out of breath in a short while.

There were originally more than 100,000 foundation-building monks stationed on the island, but because the Mubei Allied Forces did not know when they would invade, in order to speed up time to cast the damaged altar, all regiments were sent to various places to repair.

While Tang Ning was carving seals, a ray of light shot out and landed next to him, revealing the figure of a man with a wide mouth. He glanced at the stone pillars, pointed to one of them and said, "This fellow Taoist, The characters in your section are in the wrong position and need to be re-engraved.”

Tangning looked along what he pointed at and saw a few runes about three feet away from the bottom of the stone pillar that looked very abrupt and stiff. At first glance, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt there was something wrong.

He couldn't tell what the specific problem was, but it just felt uncoordinated. Compared with the runes carved before and after, it looked very awkward. It was as if a blue flower had been inserted into a row of cyan flowers. At first glance, it seemed that It's almost the same, but if you look closely, it will definitely feel awkward.

He took out the file in his right hand and took a look at it. Sure enough, it was different from the runes carved on the stone pillar. Those runes were originally runes from the previous section, but he moved them to the next section, reversing the order between the two.

"Okay, I understand." Tang Ning responded.

The man didn't say much. He took off his light and patrolled in other directions.

Tang Ning pulled out a black dagger, which was covered with dense golden runes. As soon as the dagger touched the carved runes, it immediately burst into light. The golden runes on it poured into the stone pillars, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. .

Wherever the dagger passed, the runes carved on the stone pillars fell off one after another.

Tang Ning erased the wrong runes one by one and re-engraved them according to the pattern on the dossier...
