Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Four months passed by in a flash. Early in the morning on November 12th, Tang Ning arrived at Baoxing Wuyun Pavilion.

The woman from the attic came up to her, but she was no longer the same woman as last time. She looked up and asked, "What do you need, fellow Taoist?"

Tangning flipped her hand and took out the number plate: "I have already paid the spirit stone. Your Taoist friend asked me to come today."

"Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"

"Newport."

"Please follow me." The woman led the way to a spacious circular square in the open air, with two huge cargo ships placed in it.

Its hull is a hundred feet long and twenty to thirty feet high. The hull is golden. Each ship has a black muzzle of more than ten feet on the left and right sides. The four characters of Baoxing Chamber of Commerce are flying on the bow flag.

One of the cargo ships contained numerous stone boxes.

At the four corners of the square, under four pavilions, four monks were sitting cross-legged, with a room in the middle.

The woman said: "Fellow Taoist, please go to the room and wait for now."

Tang Ning walked straight into the room. Inside, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting cross-legged on the main seat, wearing the attire of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce.

Below, there are three casual cultivators, two men and one woman, sitting cross-legged next to each other. They seem to be in the same group. These three people are all foundation-building cultivators.

Tang Ning walked in, and the three people glanced at him. However, the old man in the chair remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

He found a seat and sat cross-legged. After a while, several more people came in one after another.

Until noon, a total of more than thirty people came to this room and each found a place to sit down.

Next to Tang Ning was a fair-faced man on the left. This guy was quite familiar. He came and sat down next to him. He first smiled at him and asked where he was going.

Tang Ning answered truthfully, and the man started talking.

"Oh, Xingang, I've been there once before. That place is not that good! I went to Duanjishanfang City and wanted to buy some cultivation materials, but I couldn't find any. You know, those things are not available on Fire Ape Island. It’s not everywhere, but it’s relatively easy to buy. ”

Then he talked endlessly about his travels in Xingang, from Xingang to Fire Ape Island. Tangning only politely agreed.

Seeing that Tangning was not very enthusiastic, the man started talking to another man on his left. They were both going to Fire Ape Island, and they had many topics in common and kept chatting.

Everyone waited in the room for about half an hour. A tall man wearing Baoxing Chamber of Commerce attire came in from the outside, went straight to the old man on the main seat and said: "Mr. Chen, the cargo ship has arrived."

The old man opened his eyes and nodded, stood up and walked outside the house.

"Fellow Taoists, the cargo ship has arrived, come with us!" the man said.

Everyone filed out after him and jumped onto the Dharma boat loaded with many stone boxes. The old man entered the cabin.

Not long after, the ship's hull rumbled loudly, and the whole ship began to shake. The ship's brilliance flowed, soared into the sky, crossed the loft, and walked to the light curtain. They waited for a while.

Soon, the light curtain dissolved into a huge gap, and the cargo ship exited the light curtain. Less than ten miles away, a huge black ship was seen hovering in the sky.

The big ship was about four to five hundred feet in size and more than fifty feet high. Black light circulated all over its body. On the left and right sides, there were seven or eight cannons of more than ten feet in size. On the side of the ship, there were monks wearing armor and holding crossbows.

The entire ship was shrouded in a huge cyan light curtain, with many runes flowing on the light curtain, and the four characters "Baoxing Chamber of Commerce" were written on the bow and stern flags.

It looks like a small wind spirit ship.

The two ships were getting closer, and the old man came out of the cabin. With a wave of his hand, a talisman was passed into the light curtain.

The light curtain melted into a gap, and the old man flashed, jumped onto the ship, walked into the cabin, and walked out after a while. By that time, the light curtain on the ship had completely disappeared.

The old man waved to everyone on the small boat. The monks from the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce on the small boat each carried the stone boxes and carried them all to the big ship.

Everyone also followed the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce personnel to the big ship, and the guards with armor and crossbows seemed to have never seen them.

When everyone arrived on the big ship, the old man ordered: "Follow this transport ship. When you get there, someone will naturally remind you that the ship will not stop until it reaches the destination. You can walk around on the ship, but you are not allowed to enter the cabin. Yes, please remember that private fights are not allowed on board, and any offenders will be killed without mercy.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and after working for an hour, the people from the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce finally moved all the goods from the small boat to the big ship, and then moved several large stone boxes from the big ship to the small ship.

After the handover between the two parties, the cyan light curtain on the big ship condensed again, making a loud rumbling sound, and sailed towards the northwest.

Tangning was sitting on the deck, and the green mountains were passing by quickly under his feet. However, he could not feel any turbulence in the wind. The ship was extremely stable, as if walking on flat ground. Apart from the light flowing around him and the roaring sound, he could not feel any vibration at all.

There are guards all around with armor and crossbows, and the deck is filled with large and small stone boxes.

There are special guards to guard them, and no one can get close to them.

In less than two days, the ship sailed out of Xuanyi Island, and the lush mountains at its feet turned into an endless sea.

After sailing on the sea for nearly a month, the ship arrived at Fire Ape Island and stopped on top of a mountain range.

A man wearing the costume of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce walked out of the cabin and said: "Fire Ape Island has arrived. Fellow Taoists who want to get off the boat, come here."

His voice was mixed with spiritual power, and it reached everyone's ears clearly. Soon, a dozen figures flashed out of sight, and came to the man's side, handing him the number plates one by one.

The man took the number plate, flipped it with his left hand, took out a booklet, and compared it one by one. Then he entered the cabin. The light curtain melted to create a gap, and everyone's figures flashed out of the ship, escaping the light.

About a quarter of an hour later, a golden boat came quickly from the northeast. It was exactly the same as the boat in Baoxing Wutong Pavilion on Xuanyi Island.

There was a lot of cargo loaded on the ship. The two ships were lined up side by side. A ray of light shot from the small ship, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

He went straight into the cabin and came out after a while, waving to everyone on the boat.

The monks from the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce on the small boat moved the goods to the big ship, and then moved many goods from the hold on the big ship to the small ship.

After working for a long time and completing the handover of the goods, the ship set off again. After traveling for several days, it left Fire Ape Island.

Tang Ning sat cross-legged on the bow of the ship, focusing on practicing every day. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. The transport ship passed Fire Ape Island, then turned to the old port, and finally arrived at the new port.

On this day, the weather was sunny and cloudless.

The big ship docked on the lush mountains. A man walked out of the cabin and shouted: "The last stop, New Port, has arrived. Fellow Taoists who want to disembark, come here."

Tangning stood up and came to him with a flash of light. She took out the stone tablet and handed it to him.

Apart from the members of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce, there were only three people left on the entire Dharma Ark, an old man with white hair and beard, and a middle-aged woman, both of whom were in the foundation-building stage.

The man took the stone tablets from the hands of the three people, glanced at the book, nodded, and returned to the cabin. Soon, a gap appeared in the light curtain, and the three people left the ship in a flash, and disappeared into the distance.

Tang Ning traveled all the way north. Ten days later, she returned to the Luoyun Mountains. She first came to the Zhuxu Cave. With a wave of her hand, the talisman floated into the cave.

After a while, the thick fog dispersed, and a tall and muscular man walked out. It was Zhu Xu's disciple Tao Yong. He bowed to Tang Ning and saluted: "Uncle Tang, master, please come in."

The two of them came to the main room one after another. Zhu Xu smiled slightly when he saw him returning: "Junior Brother Tang, you are finally back."

Tang Ning said: "I was separated from Uncle Luo and others earlier, so I was delayed for some time."

Zhu Xu said: "I already know about this matter. When Uncle Luo and others returned to the sect, they said that you had been killed, and sent people to the Intelligence Department to check whether you had any relatives or descendants, and to compensate you. I also thought that you He was really killed!"

"It wasn't until later that Junior Brother Zhao went to the Affairs Section of the Internal Affairs Bureau to collect your Life Soul Stone that he discovered that your Life Soul Stone was still on, which means you were not dead."

"I immediately informed the leader of the news. He was quite relieved to hear that you were not killed."

"He also said that if you are not dead, you will definitely return to the sect on your own and ask you to visit me."

"It's a long story. I was hit by the shell's aftermath that day..." Tang Ning recounted the whole story. She only said that she was seriously injured and drifted with the current, hiding the process of treasure hunting with Qing Linzi and others.

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "Just come back. You can go see the leader later!"

Tang Ning said: "It has been four or five years since I left the sect. I wonder what the situation outside is like now?"

Zhu Xu said: "Not much has changed. During this period, the Demon Sect came to send people to sue for peace, but the sect refused. After that, several small conflicts broke out, but there were no major casualties. Today, the sect is still stationed at the Yingxia Mountain Camp. , facing away from the Demon Sect’s camp.”

"If we want to talk about major events, there are two. One is that the Qingyang Sect's camp was breached and the leader of Qingxuan Palace, Shen Wenze, was killed. The other is that our sect has a new Jindan monk."

"Oh? Who is it?" Tang Ning asked. No one in the Qian Yizong had achieved a golden elixir for more than a hundred years. Unexpectedly, someone had successfully achieved the elixir within a few years of his absence.

"It's Senior Brother Yin Qingyuan, the leader of Zhili. He successfully formed the elixir three months ago and is now a golden elixir monk."

"It's him." Tangning was slightly startled and a little surprised. She went to the Qinghai Islands with everyone and formed an elixir less than two years after returning. However, after thinking about it, it seemed to be reasonable.

Yin Qingyuan was originally one of the most prestigious disciples in the sect and the most promising candidate to form an elixir. As early as when Tang Ning was still in the early stage of foundation establishment, he had been in the late stage of foundation establishment for many years.

Now that so many years have passed, I must have reached the perfection of foundation building. It is not surprising that I can form elixirs.
