Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Husband, are these all condensed in the gourd?" Liu Ruhan's eyes were filled with joy and curiosity. Although she had never seen ice crystals condensed in the gourd with her own eyes, she had heard Tang Ning talk about ice crystals countless times and knew that they had condensed before. The ice crystals were only one or two inches in size. Seeing these round and smooth ice crystals the size of steel balls, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

"If it's not condensed in a gourd, how can it be created out of thin air? The magic crystals invested over the years have condensed a total of 103 ice crystals to this day. I have eaten 85 ice crystals, and I have reached the bottleneck. There are only 18 ice crystals left. , keep it for you to use later!”

"I wonder if there will be a chance to use it in the future." Liu Ruhan rested her head on his shoulder and said leisurely.

Her cultivation has reached the bottleneck of the middle stage of Void Refining, and has been stuck for some years.

"Don't talk nonsense. How could there be no chance? We all have enough longevity. It's only been a few years. Sometimes it only takes a moment to break through the bottleneck. Think about it, how smooth your practice was before. You have almost never encountered this. What's the obstacle? This time the cultivation bottleneck is a little longer. Even if it is easy to repay the debt owed by heaven, you can't let all the benefits be taken by you. Sometimes you have to make some adjustments."

"Husband, hasn't my practice been smoother these years? I've gained a lot of benefits, and I haven't been stuck at the bottleneck for so long." Liu Ruhan muttered.

Tangning smiled: "So you are jealous of me, and you just want to have the same level of cultivation as before to give you a sense of accomplishment, right?"

"My husband's cultivation has increased so fast that I can't even catch up. If he keeps at this level, he will slowly turn into an old woman."

"What are you thinking about! If you want to become an old woman, it will take two thousand years. By the way, let me tell you something. I am going to go to the Artifact World to see how Xiao Zhan is doing."

"My husband is going to the spirit world? Is there any danger?"

"It shouldn't be dangerous. The only thing I'm worried about now is that if Xiao Zhan wakes up and incarnates as the death god who dominates his consciousness, it might be a little troublesome. But even so, she won't harm me! After all, I still have her Delivered from the seal."

"Then let me go with my husband! Anyway, I have nothing to do here."

"You'd better not go. The situation is unpredictable now. If the incarnation of the God of Death really dominates the body consciousness and awakens, it will increase the risk if you follow me. I don't know what the temperament of the Incarnation of the God of Death is. If she doesn't reveal her identity in order to keep it secret, It would be bad if you were detained there.”

"Then she won't detain her husband?"

"I've thought about this. First, I pose no threat to her. Second, I already knew her identity. If it had been exposed after all these years, she would have been exposed. There is no point in embarrassing me. No matter what, I must have some credit for her awakening!"

Liu Ruhan said worriedly: "Does my husband definitely have to go to the spirit world? Otherwise, it's better not to go."

Tang Ning's eyes were firm: "I must go. I have been thinking about this for a long time. There are only three consequences of going. First, the incarnation of the death god has not yet awakened, so I will go back as soon as possible without any delay."

"Second, the incarnation of the death god wakes up, and Xiao Zhan takes over the dominant consciousness. Just like when she absorbed another identical soul in Qinghai, her strength must have greatly improved. I will bring her back to Tianyuan, and we will You have an invincible being in your hands, and you are protected no matter what danger you encounter.”

"Third, the incarnation of the death god wakes up and dominates the consciousness. This situation is the worst, but it is not necessarily dangerous. As I said just now, I am not a threat to her, and I have been helpful to her. It shouldn’t cost me my life.”

"I can also get some secret information about the fairy world from her. Wasn't the reason why I went to the world of the dead in the first place just to find out the secret news about the fairy world?"

"As the incarnation of the God of Death, she must know how to ascend to the immortal world. So many monks in the practice world have risked their lives throughout the ages, isn't it just for this? Now the opportunity is right in front of us, how can we turn a blind eye."

"So, I must go to the Artifact World."

Liu Ruhan leaned on his shoulder, frowning slightly and saying nothing.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

The couple chatted all night. After lingering here for a while, Tang Ning left the headquarters and headed to Linzi County.

………

The moon is rising, the stars are like rain, in Qianxuan Valley, in the alchemy room, a tall man with a short stature is staring at the red three-legged alchemy cauldron attentively, carefully controlling the fire veins, this person is Shao Hui.

At this time, there was a sudden loud creaking sound, the stone door outside the house was pushed open, and a thin and handsome man came in from the outside.

The big man Shaohui frowned, still staring at Danding intently.

The handsome man said nothing when he saw this, and just stood aside. After a while, a pill was spit out from the dragon's mouth under the alchemy cauldron.

Shao Hui turned around, his expression obviously unhappy: "Fellow Daoist Shang, what's the matter?"

"Fellow Daoist Shao, I'm really sorry for interrupting your alchemy, but this matter really can't wait that long, so I had to rush in. Senior Tangning is here and is waiting in the meeting hall to ask you to see him by name."

Hearing this, Shao Hui immediately raised his brows, said hello, raised his legs and left, leaving the alchemist and arriving at a section of the hall at the top of the mountain.

Tang Ning was already sitting safely inside. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Senior Tang, why are you here? I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I was refining elixir just now and no one informed me about it. You are here to welcome me. I have not yet informed you." If you can welcome me from afar, I hope you will be forgiven.”

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Shao, I came unexpectedly today because I actually have something to ask you about," Tang Ning said.

"I wonder what the senior's orders are?"

"Where is my lady's teacher, Taoist friend Fengyi? Do you know his whereabouts?"

"Master Feng has been traveling around in recent years, and his movements are unknown."

"I have collected the materials for refining the Golden Thunder Sword here. Now I leave it to you. When you find out the whereabouts of Fellow Daoist Feng, find him immediately and ask him to refine the Golden Thunder Sword for me with these materials as before. "

Over the years, he has spent almost no time practicing. In addition to irrigating the gourd with green spiritual power every day, the other thing is to cultivate the Golden Thunder Bamboo. Now, the materials for the forty-nine Golden Thunder Swords have been gathered. With the help of the merchant, he has collected a corresponding number of beast souls. Just in case, he also collected a few extra materials. The wear and tear that occurred during refining is now ready, and he only owes the east wind. .

Shao Hui responded: "Senior, please don't worry. As soon as there is news about Master Feng, I will go look for him immediately."

Tang Ning then handed him the storage bag containing the materials and the spirit beast bag containing the beast soul.

"By the way, is there any news about Ling Yue recently?"

Shao Hui shook his head: "My father-in-law left Qingzhou after his wife passed away. There is still no news, but the life soul stone he left behind is always bright, but where has he gone?"

"I would like to meet Ling Yuehui, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance in so many years."

"If my father-in-law comes back, he will definitely visit my senior. I would like to ask my senior, how is Cheng'er doing lately?"

"Don't worry! Everything is fine with him, and his cultivation is about to reach the Golden Elixir Perfection, and he is not far from becoming a baby."

After hearing this, Shao Hui looked happy but also sad: "With the seniors taking care of me, the juniors will naturally have nothing to worry about."

"I can't guarantee that he's fine. I can only promise to take care of him as much as possible. If a war breaks out, I may not be able to take care of him. Everything depends on his own luck."

"Of course. This junior doesn't have much ability. He can only do some things to pave the way for him. How far he can go in practice in the future depends entirely on his personal destiny."

"I'm leaving first. You go about your business! I'll trouble you about the Golden Thunder Sword. You should be more careful. It's best to find Fellow Daoist Feng as soon as possible."

"Senior rarely comes here, why bother to leave in a hurry? Stay at least for a day and understand the process of this alchemy hall, as well as the accounts of these years. I have kept them all on my side. Senior, do you need to take a look?"

"It's not necessary. I'll leave this place to you. Don't you feel relieved? I have other things to do and I won't be staying here for a long time." Tang Ning waved her hand and asked Shao Hui to hand over the profits from the alchemy hall to the merchant. , in exchange for the magic crystal. This is the first time he has come here in person in so many years.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Please tell the merchant for me that I have to leave for something recently. I may not return to Fengyu County for a while, so that they can give the magic crystals to my wife every year. I will No more going to the merchant."

"Yes, this junior knows."

The two of them left the hall one after the other, and Shao Hui sent him away from the valley until he disappeared into the distance before turning back.

………

The sun was shining high, there were no clouds in the sky, and the blue sky was like a wash. Suddenly, the blue and calm sea suddenly became rough, and a warship rose up from below, with several monster beast corpses lying on its deck.

This is a fourth-level hunting warship. Judging from the spoils, this trip has been quite fruitful. Several people on the boat were chatting and laughing, and were in a good mood, but they did not notice a figure passing by in the sky.

Tangning used the ghost technique to fly through the sky, making no sound or shadow. Walking all the way day and night, we arrived at the entrance to the world of the dead and plunged into the seabed.

If he wants to go to the Artifact Realm, he can only transfer from the Dead Spirit Realm, and cannot directly take the space channel controlled by the Merchant Alliance.

The tide on the sea floor surged. He turned his hand and took out the boundary-breaking bead. As the spiritual power poured in, the purple bead burst into dazzling light. The looming lines on its surface became clearer and clearer. Unknown talismans were densely packed like ants. The text gradually broke away.

The dazzling light enveloped a radius of more than ten miles, and the runes that emerged from the body were like two intertwined chains extending upward until they met at a certain point.

Countless unknown runes flying densely emerged from the Boundary Breaking Pearl. As more and more runes were hovering, the space was slowly torn apart. The whole process lasted for about an hour or two.

A rotating passage entrance composed of dense purple runes appeared in front of him. Seeing the purple halo take shape, he flashed and entered the inner room.

After a period of spinning, when the light came into view again, I saw a blood moon hanging high in the sky, surrounded by mountains. This was the entrance to the passage in the world of the dead.

Returning to the Realm of the Dead, Tang Ning did not stop and used the ghost technique again, heading north.
