Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning knew that calling Xiao Zhan at this time would be useless, so he had to wait until she absorbed and refined the elixir before talking to her.

With her temperament, it might not be so easy to calm down. Tang Ning was ready for a protracted war. Fortunately, it was sunny and there was no danger here.

The dark green gourd was placed next to the Immortal Slashing Sword. Xiao Zhan, as a sword spirit without a physical body, could enter and exit the Heaven Slashing Sword, but he could not bring the gourd in.

Tang Ning's eyes flickered. After a long time, he finally couldn't help but stretched out his hand and took the gourd in his hand like a thief.

This action was risky. Xiao Zhan was angry with him. If he stole the gourd at this time, she would definitely be more angry, and the matter would be even more difficult to end.

But Tang Ning watched the gourd within his reach, how could he bear it? After taking the gourd in his hand, he stared at the Heaven Slashing Sword, fearing that Xiao Zhan would get out from inside.

After a long while, there was no movement, so he was relieved and began to study the gourd carefully.

The surface of the dark green gourd was plain and ordinary, the color was exactly the same as the green vine, it had neither the characteristics of ancient and vicissitudes nor the perception of being different from others, and there was no spiritual energy around it. Anyone who saw it would think that it seemed to be an ordinary gourd, even if it was held in the hand, it felt nothing special.

This thing actually condensed solidified spiritual energy and innate energy inside. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it even if he chopped off his head.

Tang Ning played with it in his hand and observed it carefully. There was a small hole at the mouth of the gourd. Just now, Xiao Zhan pulled out the Zhantian Sword and shot a sword energy from here. Then the solidified spiritual energy "ice cubes" inside fell one after another, followed by the innate energy.

Obviously, these solidified spiritual energy "ice cubes" are condensed on the innate energy. Xiao Zhan's sword energy stirred up the internal balance structure, causing the solidified spiritual energy "ice cubes" to break up. Under the impact of the innate energy, the spiritual energy "ice cubes" and the innate energy came out of the gourd one after another.

It seems that the solidified spiritual energy "ice cubes" suppressed the innate energy that was ready to move.

But this is not right! Now that the solidified spiritual energy ice cubes have broken up and floated out, the innate energy was suppressed back into the gourd by Xiao Zhan's sword energy and did not float out again, it can be seen that there must be something strange inside the gourd.

The innate energy is so heavy and powerful, and this gourd can actually seal it, which shows that this thing is extraordinary. It's a pity that his consciousness can't penetrate the inside of the gourd. Once the consciousness enters the inside, it is like a mud cow entering the sea, without any echo.

Therefore, he could only infer the internal structure of the gourd from the outside and the incident just now. He did not dare to inject spiritual power into the gourd like Xiao Zhan did. If it caused the leakage of the innate energy again, no one would save him.

After playing with it for about an hour, Tang Ning reluctantly put the gourd back to its original place. Now his dissatisfaction with Xiao Zhan's forcible occupation of the gourd faded a little. Even if he had this thing in his hands, he could not control it.

It would be better to give it to Xiao Zhan, who might be able to play a role at a critical moment.

Xiao Zhan was able to suppress the overflowing innate energy back into the gourd with one blow, which showed that she had the ability to control the gourd. It was just unknown whether her ability came from herself or from the Zhantian Sword.

Speaking of which, the leakage of the innate energy at that time was also caused by the Zhantian Sword. It was Xiao Zhan who shot a beam of light into it through the Zhantian Sword. In this case, could it be that the Zhantian Sword was the key to controlling the gourd?

The more Tang Ning thought about it, the more possible it was. The Heaven-Slaying Sword was buried here, and the gourd grew on the giant tree. The two might really be related.

According to Xiao Zhan, the Heaven-Slaying Sword was hidden here by her. Why did she hide it in this place? The Heaven-Slaying Sword has a deep connection with this place.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword is dark green, and the gourd is also dark green, the same color as the vines all over the mountains.

A crazy idea suddenly appeared in Tang Ning's mind. Is it possible that the Heaven-Slaying Sword also grew from this giant tree?

Since the gourd containing the innate energy grew from this tree, why can't the Heaven-Slaying Sword be native to the tree? As a weapon, people have the inherent impression that the sword is refined, but who would refine a sword into the shape of a Hanmian pole? Unless its original shape is like this.

If this inference is true, the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the gourd are companions and are the "fruits" grown from this giant tree, then what is the origin of this giant tree?

The innate energy was born before the creation of the world. This gourd contains the innate energy, which means that this gourd already existed before the creation of the world. Then this giant tree...

The more Tang Ning thought about it, the more incredible it seemed, but he also felt that it made sense and made sense.

If not, how could this giant tree be so huge?

If not, how could such a strange gourd be born?

Just as he was thinking deeply, after an unknown amount of time, a white light flashed in the Zhantian Sword, and Xiao Zhan emerged from it, with his hands wrapped around his chest, looking at him coldly.

Because the Zhenyuan Pill he brought with him was a fifth-level low-grade pill, and both of them had broken through their current cultivation, the spiritual power and purity contained in the Zhenyuan Pill were no longer suitable for their cultivation, so Xiao Zhan's speed of refining and absorbing the Zhenyuan Pill was much faster than before.

Seeing her expression, Tang Ning offered the pill tactfully: "Master Zhanxian, please listen to me first."

Xiao Zhan swallowed the pill in one gulp and turned away: "I don't talk to thieves who steal things."

After saying that, he turned into white light and returned to the sword.

In this way, about ten days passed. Tang Ning didn't know the exact time, so she could only estimate.

Every time Xiao Zhan finished absorbing and refining the elixir, he would get out of the Tianzhan Sword, so he could take the opportunity to say a few words to him. Naturally, needless to say, Xiao Zhan ignored him at all, as if he didn't exist at all.

………

"Master Zhanxian, we must have a serious talk."

"We can't stay in this place forever. The purpose of this trip has been successfully completed. Not only did you get the Sky-Destroying Sword, but you also got the gourd unexpectedly. I have some credit for this. I don't ask for anything else now. I ask you to take me away from this place.”

Xiao Zhan looked at him coldly and said nothing.

"Even for your own sake, we have to leave this place. Only when we get outside can I get you food and drink. I promise you that as soon as you leave this place, I will immediately provide you with a hundred jars of good food. liquor."

"I made a mistake by stealing the "ice cubes" in the gourd. I couldn't hold back my greed for a moment. I shouldn't get angry with you later. You don't remember the faults of villains. Don't be the same as me."

"This gourd has more treasures than those "ice cubes". I swear I will never think about this gourd again, and you should stop worrying about those "ice cubes"."

"I have a share of the credit for getting this gourd. If I am rewarded based on my merits, I should also get some benefits."

………

Tang Ning's words were worn out, but Xiao Zhan still stared at him coldly, as if he was watching a monkey jumping up and down.

"How on earth do you want to take me out of this place? I will agree to it no matter what the conditions are."

"Give me back what you stole." Xiao Zhan finally spoke.

Tang Ning didn't expect that she could be so stubborn. It seemed that this matter would not be resolved until it was resolved.

"Okay, I promise to return it to you."

Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand, seeing that he wanted him to return the "ice cube" he had swallowed immediately.

"Not now. I've already eaten those ice cubes. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely return them to you."

"When exactly?"

"When I get it next time."

"No, I want it now."

"Let's do this! Can I calculate the interest for you?" Tang Ning took out all the True Essence Pills from the storage bag: "These will be considered as the interest for this year. Until I find the "ice cube" and return it to you, there will be more every year." Give me twice the amount of elixirs and spiritual wine.”

"No, you have to give it back to me now."

"But I really don't have one! I can't just conjure it out of thin air!"

"Then you think of something yourself, I'll wait here."

It was too much to bully someone. Tangning couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw that she didn't want to eat anything, and she didn't accept hard or soft things. She stopped begging her, and left in a flash, finding an exit on her own.

He flew along the green vines of the mountains, and after walking for more than half a day, he finally left the mountains. As far as he could see, he saw a desolate and vast desert.

The endless desert is as far as the eye can see, in stark contrast to the lush green mountains, like two rivers intersecting.

One side is boundless green and the other side is vast desert.

After leaving the mountains and entering the desert, not only did the earth change its appearance, but even the sky changed its color.

The originally blue sky, as clear as the wind and sunny, disappeared from the field of vision in a short time, and there were only dense clouds overhead. The layers of dark clouds overlapped one after another, as if they were about to collapse.

The desert was endless, and Tangning didn't know how far he had fled. It could have been a few days, or it could have been more than ten days. There was no foreign object within the detection range of his spiritual sense, let alone any words. The whole world was dead silent. There is no living life form.

He had to go back to where he was and ask Xiao Zhan for mercy and peace.

"These days, I have searched the entire mountain range covered with green vines, and there is no second gourd. It seems that there is only one gourd. Master Zhanxian, you see there is no other way to compensate for your loss."

Tang Ning would not say that she looked for an exit, she would only say that she was looking for a gourd for her.

"Unless you give me back what you stole, don't expect me to forgive you, you thief."

"Then no one should go out, and I won't beg you. Let's just wait here to die together."

Tang Ning was at her wits end, her heart was aflame, and she couldn't tolerate her anymore. She said angrily, then she sat down cross-legged, swallowed the True Essence Pill, closed her eyes and practiced Qi.
