Chronicles of Celestial Origins

At this time, there were still dozens of ice crystals released from the gourd. He took two deep breaths, calmed down his surging excitement, and swallowed all the remaining ice crystals into his belly.

After a long time, when all the ice crystal spiritual power returned to the Linghai Point, he opened his eyes, stood up and strode out.

Only Liu Ruhan was waiting outside. Just in case someone disturbed her while she was swallowing ice crystals, and someone discovered the secret, Liu Ruhan assigned all her disciples tasks and sent them outside. She personally guarded the cave to avoid any accidents. Condition.

Seeing Tang Ning coming out, she immediately rushed forward to greet her. Then her eyes lit up, her brows were filled with joy and surprise: "Husband, you have made a breakthrough in your cultivation."

Tangning held her hand with a smile on her face, and the two of them returned to the room hand in hand: "I didn't expect to break through the middle stage of Mahayana so smoothly. The power of the ice crystal spirit condensed this time is far greater than before, plus the death granted by the god of death." The Great Path Brand allows me to naturally advance to the next level without being disturbed by bottlenecks.”

"Then the Avenue of Death brand still has this effect?"

"I just thought of it. In retrospect, I have never been troubled by bottlenecks since I merged with the brand of the Avenue of Death. At the beginning, the Death God only said that it was of great benefit to my practice. I think there should be an allusion to this aspect, otherwise it would not be possible several times There will be no bottlenecks if you break through.”

"That's great. With the innate treasure gourd here, there is no obstacle for my husband to break through to the late stage of Mahayana. It's just that my husband has broken through to the middle stage so quickly. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cause shock in the cultivation world. I don't know how many people are envious of it. Jealousy, you have to be more careful in the future.”

"It's okay if they target me. With my current ability, I can deal with all enemies calmly. I'm just worried that they will target you. From now on, you should try not to leave the coalition headquarters. If there is something important and you have to go and do it, I will do it." You go together."

Tang Ning swallowed all the condensed ice crystals this time and left not a single one for Liu Ruhan. The two of them had already discussed this. Now that there are powerful enemies watching outside and secret coveters inside, he must improve his cultivation as soon as possible. Only in this way can we protect the safety of both of them. Therefore, the top priority is to let him break through to the middle stage of Mahayana as soon as possible. Only in this way can he be able to fight against those who covet him.

If he couldn't guarantee his own safety, Liu Ruhan would be even less safe.

Therefore, the two of them agreed that from now on, Tang Ning would swallow all the condensed ice crystals until he broke through to the late Mahayana realm.

With his late-stage Mahayana cultivation and the magical powers taught by the God of Death, he can dominate the world. Whether it is the Green Dragon King or the Ice Phoenix Queen, they will only tremble in fear.

After he broke through to the late stage of Mahayana cultivation, he had greater ability to collect higher-level demon pills and magic crystals, which were then swallowed by Liu Ruhan to help him practice.

This is the most reasonable plan.

Just as the two of them were chatting privately and rejoicing about this.

In the southern part of Linzi County, among the rugged rocks, a figure fell from a high altitude. With a loud bang, the figure hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and bright red blood spread out, covering the surrounding soil. .

Not long after, a man passed by from a high altitude and saw a corpse lying on the ground soaked in bright red blood below. The man frowned and came to the corpse under the light.

After seeing the corpse clearly, the man's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had been greatly stimulated, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Master." A horrified howl suddenly echoed through the sky.

………

At the Qingzhou Allied Forces Headquarters, Han Siyuan was sitting in the meditation room with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He opened his eyes, waved his hand, and the stone door opened without any wind.

A man walked into the outside and saluted him respectfully: "Uncle Master, the latest news that just came in is that Uncle Tang Ning has broken through to the middle stage of Mahayana."

After the words fell, there was a deathly silence in the room. You could hear a pin drop. The man lowered his head and remained motionless. After a while, he heard Han Siyuan's heavy words: "I know."

The man turned around and left. The moment he raised his head, he saw Han Siyuan's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water.

………

In the dark room, when she saw Tang Ning, who had been promoted to the middle stage of the Mahayana, walking in, Nangong Muxue, who had always shown herself to be as cold as ice and indifferent to emotions and anger, instantly dilated her pupils. Even if she knew Tang Ning's secret, she couldn't help it. looked shocked.

"Uncle Master." Tang Ning bowed and saluted. In front of Nangong Muxue, even though he was already above it in cultivation, he still had to face him like a junior.

"Okay, okay. Sit down." Nangong Muxue seemed to have a thousand words to say, but for a moment she didn't know where to start, so she just nodded and said hello twice.

I think back then, when she was promoted to the Mahayana realm, she was very prosperous, but Tang Ning was only in the realm of transformation into gods. Now two thousand years later, she is still stuck in the early stage of Mahayana. The boy in the realm of transformation into gods was not only on equal footing with her, but actually surpassed her with ease. she.

It wasn't until the couple sat down as instructed that Nangong Muxue recovered from the shock: "I didn't expect you to break through to the middle stage of Mahayana so quickly."

"You know, in fact, I have advanced to Mahayana many years ago. I stayed in the world of the dead for more than five hundred years before returning to the Tianyuan world. Calculated this way, the time is almost a thousand years, which is not too short. ”

"Even if it takes a thousand years, to be able to advance from the early stage of the Mahayana to the middle stage of the Mahayana is considered to be unparalleled among all the monks in the Tianyuan world."

"Thanks to the gift of the God of Death, I can practice at the speed I am now."

"What exactly does it give you? The effect that allows you to maintain such a rapid improvement in your cultivation."

"It is a trace of the Death God's cultivation imprint. After being integrated with me, it will not only help me practice, but also avoid bottlenecks."

"So your large-scale acquisition of magic crystals is related to this?"

Nangong Muxue asked about this matter more than once, but Tang Ning responded with ambiguous answers every time.

"That's right! It's all a gift from the God of Death." Tangning did not tell him about the innate treasure gourd, so he had to leave two trump cards for himself.

Nangong Muxue did not break the casserole and asked, "So as long as you have enough magic crystals, it will only be a matter of time before you break through to the late Mahayana stage?"

"That's the case at the moment, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. We don't know whether there will be any changes."

"Your breakthrough in mid-level Mahayana cultivation this time will definitely cause a great shock, especially those who pay attention to you. They need to be more careful in the future."

"I know, I'm not worried myself, I'm just afraid that they will turn their attention on my wife..."

After chatting for a while, the couple said goodbye and left. When they returned to the cave, they saw Gao Yuan waiting outside. When he saw the two returning, he hurriedly greeted them: "Uncle Master, Shang Daoxian is here and said there is an extremely urgent matter. I want to see you, and I’m waiting in the waiting room.”

Tang Ning nodded, guessing that the merchant was in trouble, so he came to ask for help. He went straight into the inner room and came to the spacious and bright hall.

Inside, Shang Daoxian was waiting anxiously. His furrowed brows and restless posture showed his inner anxiety.

"Senior Tang." Seeing Tang Ning approaching, Shang Daoxian immediately stood up and greeted her.

"What's wrong? What happened? You look very anxious." Tangning walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Senior Tang, the head of the family has been killed. Senior, please make the decision for our house!" Shang Daoxian suddenly fell down and said sadly.

"Ah? Fellow Daoist Shang was killed. When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago, the body of the head of the family was dumped on a rocky hill not far from our house."

Tang Ning frowned slightly. Not only was Shang Haoxuan killed, but his body was also left at the door of his house. This was a typical act of provocation!

The first thing he thought of was Han Siyuan, because Shang Haoxuan had informed him about Han Siyuan's request to monitor his behavior. The news must have been leaked, and Han Siyuan therefore acted evilly to serve as a warning to others.

This is the most conjecture that is consistent with the conclusion, but upon closer consideration, something is wrong.

Even if Han Siyuan wanted to do something dirty, he would do it secretly. He would not be able to be so ostentatious, as it was not in line with Han Siyuan's usual style of doing things.

Moreover, the merchant is also a part of the coalition anyway. If he does this, it will be very troublesome if he is exposed.

If not Han Siyuan, who would it be? Could it be the Qingjiao Clan?

The Qingjiao Clan does have this motive, because Shang Haoxuan has a close relationship with them and has been collecting magic crystals and demon elixirs for themselves. If the Qingjiao Clan wants to know their secrets, they may start with Shang Haoxuan, and they have enough reasons for such provocative behavior.

If it was really done by the Qingjiao Clan, it might be a trap waiting for you to get into.

"Tell me the specific situation."

"On August 26, the head of the family went to the Kong family to discuss matters. Not long after leaving the house, less than three hours later, the body was found on a rocky hill not far from the house. The person who discovered the body was a member of our house. Disciple, he was passing by and saw a body lying underneath, so he went to check and found out that it was the master of the family. After this happened, the junior uncle immediately found the disciple and asked the disciple to report the matter to you. "

"Only three hours? Who is the murderer? Are there any clues?"

"No clues found yet."

"The body of fellow Daoist Shang was found not far outside your residence. Are there any traces of fighting there?"

"No, we searched all the way from my residence to Kong's residence and found no signs of fighting."

Tang Ning's eyes flickered. Shang Haoxuan, a monk in the middle stage of integration, was killed silently. He didn't even have the strength to resist. This shows that the other party's cultivation level has at least reached the Mahayana realm. He should have used a sudden secret move to cover his ears with lightning speed. Shang Haoxuan was attacked by force.

"Has Taoist Shang offended anyone?"

"The head of the family has always told us to behave with our tail between our legs. He himself is even more cautious and walks on thin ice. It is impossible to offend such a big shot."

"Have you informed the Kong family about this?"

"Of course, our government contacted the Kong family as soon as possible, and a person in charge of the Kong family has arrived at our house."

"Wait here, I'll be back as soon as I go." Tangning stood up, left the hall, and came to the main room.

Seeing the serious look on his face, Liu Ruhan asked, "What's wrong with my husband?"

Tang Ning then reported the murder of Shang Haoxuan.
