Chronicles of Celestial Origins

I don't know how long this process lasted. The spiritual energy vortex outside the cave expanded to a size of fifty feet and finally stopped expanding. The surrounding spiritual energy of the world had been absorbed, and the spiritual energy of the sea eroded away into the cave.

The guardian monk of Qingxuan Hall frowned when he looked at the huge spiritual energy vortex, and his face was full of doubts. This was not the first time that he protected his disciples, but when others were building the foundation, the spiritual energy vortex was at most thirty feet in diameter. Why did this person attract such a huge spiritual energy? .

A steady stream of spiritual power surged into Tang Ning's body.

His consciousness had faded, and he entered another world in a daze.

There are green grass all around, towering green trees, and a blue sky with occasional white clouds floating by.

Suddenly the surroundings dimmed, and its eyes were dim. Something seemed to be squeezing it around.

It pushed hard, pushed upward, and after a long time, which could be an hour or several springs and autumns, it finally broke free from the cage.

There is a fragrant world outside, with green grass everywhere, towering green trees, and clear skies.

It struggled hard until its whole body squeezed out of the cage. It flapped its wings and came to a flower to suck food. It had been hungry for too long.

From then on, it wandered among the flowers and plants every day, feeling very content.

One day, the autumn wind was refreshing, and a tall figure came from a distance. It couldn't see clearly the appearance of the tall figure, but it could only see it sitting among the green grass.

Day after day, sometimes he lowered his head and meditated, sometimes he looked up to the sky and sighed.

Month after month, it became familiar with the tall figure and often played together.

The tall figure chased it and held it in the palm of its hand.

It liked this feeling, its whole body was very warm, and it often landed on his shoulders and circled around him, but it could never clearly see his specific appearance.

………

In the blue sky, a handsome man came to the green grass. He didn't know where he came from or where he was going until he saw a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

He kept following the butterfly. One day, the butterfly came to him and played with him.

He loved this butterfly very much and played games with it without knowing how long it had passed.

…………

Tang Ning looked at the man and the butterfly, and kept watching them. Even though he was nowhere to be seen in the world, as spring passed and winter solstice passed, and the cold came and went, the butterfly could not withstand the erosion of time and grew older day by day.

It couldn't fly anymore, it had no strength at all. Although it still wanted to play with the figure and fly around him, it was too tired.

It closed its eyes, and when it was dying, it tried hard to look at the figure, but it still couldn't see clearly.

……………

The butterfly died, and he was very sad. He held it in his hands and cried loudly. Slowly, he became old and could no longer walk.

He still doesn't know where he came from and where he is going. He only remembers that a butterfly once spent a good time with him.

……………

The space between heaven and earth was empty, and Tang Ning had a lot of thoughts. Sometimes he turned into the butterfly, sometimes he turned into that man, and sometimes he turned into the ruler of heaven and earth watching them.

He could no longer tell whether he was the butterfly or the man. He switched back and forth between the three roles, being the butterfly, the man, and himself.

The ringing was sudden, echoing between heaven and earth, and the ringing was endless. It was the Qingxin Bell reminding him not to fall into the illusion. He was very awake, but only slightly nostalgic.

The surrounding green grass and trees were sloping down, and then the sky and the earth began to spin. He returned to the cave and looked at his hands in a daze.

The foundation building has been completed, and a lake of water is stored in the Linghai Cave and flows along his body. It is the sublimation of the spiritual energy in his body and turns into spiritual liquid.

The foundation building was successful, but he felt no joy at all. He was wondering whether this place was real or that world was real, whether he had transformed into a butterfly and a man, or whether the butterfly and the man had transformed into him.

After a long time, he sighed, put on his clothes and walked out of the cave. Although he suffered a little pain in building the foundation this time, there was no danger. It can be said that the soul-controlling spirit milk has made a great contribution.

Others' foundation-building inner demon level was extremely dangerous, but he was not attacked by the inner demon. He just fell into an illusion and kept his consciousness clear. From the moment he fell into the illusion, he knew that it was an illusion.

Among the three characters, the invisible existence watching the man and the butterfly is the embodiment of his own consciousness.

"Congratulations." Before the guardian monks from Qingxuan Hall could leave, they saw Tang Ning walking out of the cave and walking towards him.

"Thank you."

"Go to Qingxuan Hall to register and report tomorrow." After the man said that, he transformed into a escaping light and left.

Tang Ning put away the five-door Yunshui Formation. Due to the attack by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the formation was damaged a lot. Two of the formation flags were broken. Several other formation flags also suffered varying degrees of damage and were basically useless.

He tried to release the spiritual energy in his body, forming a spiritual energy shield around him, wrapping his whole body. When his consciousness moved, the spiritual energy wrapped around his body supported his body and soared into the air.

Tang Ning walked against the wind, soaring high into the sky for a while, turning sharply for a while, going back and forth, enjoying herself a lot.

This feeling.

ah! wonderful.

…

The next day, he went to the Qingxuan Hall to register his identity. He arrived in front of Kong Fanxing Cave at Zhongzhi Peak and handed the talisman inside. Not long after, the thick fog on both sides cleared and Tang Ning came to the main room and said, "Disciple has seen Master Kong." uncle."

Kong Fanxing opened his eyes, his fat face trembled, and he was stunned for a moment with a look of shock on his face: "You have already established the foundation."

"Yes, my disciple built a foundation at Jin Cui Peak yesterday and succeeded by luck. Today I am here to pay a visit to Master Kong."

"Now that the foundation has been established, I don't dare to call him uncle anymore. Let's call him brother!"

In the world of spiritual practice, seniority is generally determined by cultivation, but not all are like this. If someone is acquainted with someone or has studied in the same discipline, seniority will be determined.

Like Tang Ning and Kong Fanxing, although they both belong to the Qianyi Sect, they were neither relatives nor friends before, and now they have the same level of cultivation. It is obviously inappropriate to refer to them as masters, uncles and disciples.

"Disciples don't dare." Tang Ning said modestly.

Kong Fanxing waved his hand: "Hey! It's just a title, don't be too attached. Junior Brother Tang, you have completed the foundation building. According to the sect's rules, you can choose any place in this sect to build your own cave, but our information According to the rules of the Department, the foundation-building monk's cave must be on the Zhongzhi Peak. If anything happens, you can summon him at any time. Have you chosen the location? "

Tang Ning replied: "We just laid the foundation yesterday, and we haven't chosen to build a cave yet. Do we have to wait for Uncle Lu's approval for this matter?"

"Why bother with such trivial matters? You can build your own cave abode wherever you like on the Middle Finger Peak."

The two chatted for a long time, and then Tang Ning said goodbye and went to Lu Xingxian's Cave Mansion for a visit, and was led into the mansion by his disciples.

This is the first time he has stepped into Lu Xingxian Cave's mansion. The first two times he came to visit, he performed matters outside the mansion and his disciples conveyed the message.

In the slightly dark main room, Lu Xingxian opened his eyes and looked at him: "Since you have successfully established the foundation, you will be equal to me from now on, and we will treat you as brothers and sisters. This is the case for everyone in our department."

"yes."

"Our department has rules that the cave must be built on the Zhongzhi Peak, and I am no exception. Just choose a place on the Zhongzhi Peak to build the cave."

"clear."

"Tomorrow at noon, come to the meeting hall, and I will announce your new appointment to the junior brothers."

"yes."

"Nothing else, you go ahead!"

"Disciple takes leave."

Tang Ning left here and found a place in the south of the first knuckle of the Middle Finger Peak. After working for most of the day, she built a simple cave. It was not large, covering an area of ​​three acres. It was divided into one main room, four auxiliary rooms, and a front room. Courtyard, backyard.

The entire cave was empty, except for a stone bed, a stone table, and a few stone benches in the main room. Compared with Kong Fanxing's cave, it was like a slum, and even compared with Lu Xingxian, it was far inferior.

Near noon on the second day, he arrived at the summit meeting hall. The two disciples on duty were shocked to see him break through the foundation building, and turned to look envious.

When Tangning arrived, no one else had arrived yet. He chose a seat near the bottom of the hall and sat down.

Not long after, several other foundation-building monks from the Intelligence Department came one after another. They were a little surprised when they saw his expression, and then felt relieved.

Only Kong Fanxing smiled at him, and Zhu Xu nodded to him.

In the Intelligence Department, excluding the foundation-building monks stationed outside, there are only seven people who have stayed in the sect for a long time.

They are Lu Xingxian, Kong Fanxing, Zhu Xu, Lu Guang, Chen Xuan, Ye Xiu and Xu Jingyang.

Among them, Xu Jingyang was the one who successfully established the foundation three years ago. He was originally the captain of the third team of the Intelligence Section.

When everyone arrived, Lu Xingxian took out a piece of paper and said, "Junior brothers, I have summoned everyone to the meeting hall this time for one thing: to announce the appointment of Junior Brother Tang Ning. It was recommended by the Headquarters Department, approved by the Secret Academy, and verified by Qingxuan Hall. , appointed him as the head of the Intelligence Department.”

"Junior brother Tang Ning was originally a disciple of the air support team. The foundation was successfully built the day before yesterday. I have decided that he will take over junior brother Zhang Ye's original job and be in charge of intelligence liaison with outside the sect. Junior brother Xu will return to his duties. Junior brother Kong, what do you think?"

Kong Fanxing said with a smile: "After Junior Brother Zhang passed away, I was worried that no one would take over his job. Junior Brother Tang came at the right time."

"In that case, this matter is settled, Junior Brother Tang, from now on you will handle the intelligence communication with outside the sect."

"yes."

"You must all know these junior brothers." Lu Xingxian said: "Junior brother Zhu Xu is in charge of the intelligence collection work. All intelligence is reported to the sect through him. Every personnel action in the intelligence department must have a file handed over to him. The intelligence room will be handled by Junior Brother Zhu.”

"Junior Brother Kong Fanxing is in charge of supervision work. He supervises the actions of all personnel in the Intelligence Department. If he is found to have committed crimes and violated the sect's laws, he can deal with them according to the rules. If the situation is serious and the situation is urgent, he can make arbitrary decisions on the spot. The right to kill first and then report later.”

"Junior Brother Lu Guang and Junior Brother Ye Xiu are in charge of the specific affairs of each action team."

"Junior Brother Chen Xuan and Junior Brother Xu Jingyang are in charge of the internal affairs of the department, including the operational funding of department personnel, reporting of operational losses, personnel rewards and punishments, etc."

Tangning nodded her head.

"Junior Brother Tang, you will follow Junior Brother Zhu to the intelligence room later. He will teach you how to contact and handle intelligence."
