Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1652 Late Mahayana Period

Time flies, the world changes, and the years pass by like a shuttle.

It's autumn again. The green leaves have turned yellow and the dead leaves rustle in the breeze.

Autumn is the season of harvest.

In the dim room, ice crystals floated out from the gourd, and rich spiritual energy instantly filled the entire room.

Tang Ning could not hide his joy. Like a farmer who had harvested a bountiful harvest, he couldn't help caressing each round, plump and crystal clear ice crystal.

Because the quality of demon pills and magic crystals is higher than before, the condensed ice crystals not only have richer and purer spiritual power, but are also larger and rounder in appearance.

Liu Ruhan sat aside, also with a look of joy on her face.

The couple looked at each other in silence, their joy was beyond words.

"Husband, please swallow these ice crystals quickly. I will go to the outer room to watch over you so that no one can disturb you." Seeing that another batch of ice crystals in the gourd had been revealed, Liu Ruhan was overjoyed and left the room after saying that.

The stone door closed again, Tang Ning sat down cross-legged and swallowed the floating ice crystals into his stomach.

A huge amount of spiritual power immediately flowed through his body and finally returned to the Linghai acupoint. As each ice crystal entered his abdomen, his spiritual power surged.

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly opened his eyes, and the aura around him continued to rise, and he successfully broke through to the late Mahayana stage.

Finally it has come to this. Tang Ning was so happy that he even wanted to let out a long roar.

Ever since meeting Jiang Ting'an and Xiang Yunchen, he had been secretly worried and wanted to quickly break through to the late Mahayana stage. Now that he had finally achieved his wish, it was as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart, and he felt his body had become extremely light.

Although he was delighted at this breakthrough to the late Mahayana stage, he was not too surprised.

This is because he already knew that he would not encounter a bottleneck in his practice, and a breakthrough was only a matter of time. He was happy because he did not expect to have a breakthrough this time.

He originally thought that he would have to wait for the next harvest of ice crystals before he would be able to break through to the late Mahayana spiritual power. However, he did not expect that the quality of the ice crystals this time was unexpectedly high, and that they actually helped him directly reach the late Mahayana realm. This was beyond his expectations.

All in all, it was only six hundred years from the middle Mahayana stage to the late Mahayana stage. During this period, he had harvested a batch of ice crystals. This was the second time he had swallowed ice crystals since he broke through to the middle Mahayana stage.

Six hundred years is not a long time in terms of his lifespan, but compared to the progress of others in cultivation, it is a rapid progress.

However, given his experience of advancing from the early Mahayana stage to the middle Mahayana stage over the previous four hundred years, even if others were surprised this time, they would not feel too surprised.

Tang Ning slowly stood up and walked out of the room. Liu Ruhan was sitting opposite him. Seeing him break through to the late Mahayana stage so smoothly, she was very happy.

"Now that you have reached this stage of cultivation, I am no longer afraid of threats from anyone. I can help you cultivate from now on, but it's a pity that you are stuck at a bottleneck in your cultivation. Otherwise, with the help of the remaining dozens of ice crystals, you can make a big step forward in your cultivation." Tang Ning held her hand and spoke softly. Liu Ruhan had been stuck at the bottleneck of the middle stage of fusion for many years.

"My husband, don't pay attention to me. The key is to practice hard to reach the Ascension Realm."

"I'm not in a hurry. I have plenty of life left. For me, reaching the Ascension Realm is just a matter of time. When you reach the Ascension Realm, we will go to the Immortal Realm together through the space channel of the Dead Realm."

Liu Ruhan rested her head on his arm and said leisurely, "I don't know when I can break through this bottleneck. Maybe I won't have the chance to ascend to the immortal world with my husband."

"Don't talk nonsense. You still have enough lifespan, so how could you not break through the bottleneck? Don't worry, wait until you break through to the late stage of fusion, and then I will condense ice crystals to help you quickly reach the great perfection of fusion."

The couple returned to the main room, sat cuddled together and talked about their future plans.

.........

The sky was clear and cloudless. From the remote mountains and fields, a beam of light shot down, revealing Tang Ning's figure.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, congratulations." Wei Yuan, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw him coming and breaking through to the late Mahayana realm. The corner of his eye twitched suddenly, and then he bowed with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Tang would come in person this time. Well, I was going to ask Fellow Daoist Nangong to pass on a message to you." Wei Yuan flipped his hands and took out several storage bags: "This is the last batch of demon pills and magic crystals. We have fulfilled the agreement. I don't know when you can redeem your promise."

Tang Ning took the storage bag and put it in his pocket.

Three thousand sixth-level demon pills and magic crystals, three hundred seventh-level demon pills and magic crystals, and thirty eighth-level demon pills and magic crystals were given by the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce in six batches. Every hundred years would be a trading period, and the two would agree on a time and place to meet.

As the protector of the World Chamber of Commerce, if Wei Yuan went to the Qingzhou coalition to look for him every time, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Neither party wanted this matter to attract other people's attention, and in every previous transaction, it was Nangong Muxue who came to pick up the items.

This was of course for the sake of caution. Nangong Muxue was a core member who knew his secrets and knew the details of the transaction, making her the most suitable candidate. In this way, there was no need to worry about Tianxia Chamber of Commerce using the transaction to set an ambush. As long as he was safe, Nangong Muxue would not be in trouble. This was Tangning's first time to personally come to the transaction location. On the one hand, it was because this was the last transaction. After paying the balance, Tianxia Chamber of Commerce had fulfilled his previous condition. He needed to inform the other party of the location of the Tianyuan connecting space channel.

On the other hand, his cultivation had reached the late Mahayana stage, which gave him more confidence. In the past, he did this just to be prepared for any eventuality, but now, even if the World Chamber of Commerce had any traps, he would not be afraid.

"This is the location of the space passage that connects the Tianyuan Realm to the Immortal Realm." Tang Ning took out a paper roll and handed it to him.

Wei Yuan was stunned with surprise. He didn't expect Tang Ning to tell him the location so readily. In his mind, this was a earth-shattering event.

Ascending to the immortal world is the ultimate goal of every practitioner. For this reason, countless people have suffered hardships, countless conspiracies and intrigues have arisen, and countless wronged souls and ghosts have been created.

In today's cultivation world, ascension has become an unattainable dream buried deep in the hearts of countless people, and has even gradually become an illusory legend.

Now, the chance for ascension has reappeared. Even if a little information is leaked, it may cause a great shock in the cultivation world, and there will inevitably be a bloody battle.

For an earth-shaking event like this, it is necessary to discuss and plan it over and over again to ensure that there are no mistakes.

But Tang Ning just passed the secret to him in an ordinary paper roll, which made him feel unreal and absurd, as if they were not discussing ascending to the immortal world, but something as insignificant as where to go for a drink today.

Before coming here, he was already full of excitement. He thought about all the possible scenarios in his mind. After receiving the last batch of demon pills and magic crystals, would Tangning reveal the key secret of ascending to the immortal world as agreed? How would he tell her?

  This will inevitably bring all parties together to discuss, so where and when will they meet?

After the location is determined, how can we investigate it? How can we determine whether it is really a space passage to ascend to the immortal world?

  If Tang Ning plays tricks, makes excuses for various reasons, and refuses to disclose the location for the time being, what methods should be used to retaliate?

How should he give a serious yet gentle warning to Nangong Muxue who was going to make the deal, and ask her to tell Tangning that it was time to fulfill their promise.

He had imagined many scenarios in his mind, but he had never thought it would be like this.

After a moment of confusion, Wei Yuan reacted and quickly took the paper from his hand. He unfolded it and saw that it was a topographic map.

"This is where?"

"Xingang. I have already drawn the exact location. It's right in that circle." Tang Ning responded calmly. He had quietly gone to Xingang before and used his eyes to determine the exact location of the channel connecting to the fairyland. This was just a backup channel for him. Unless there were any accidents, it would not be needed at all, so he did not care.

"Xingang?" Wei Yuan frowned slightly, still wondering which prefecture it was, when he suddenly remembered Tang Ning's file and his eyes widened instantly: "Is it Xingang in Qinghai? Isn't that where you were born?"

"Yes, it is right there. Tell fellow Daoist Jiang and fellow Daoist Xiang that this space passage is not stable yet. If you want to ascend to the fairyland through it, the success rate will not exceed 10%. It is best not to try it lightly." After Tang Ning finished speaking, he flashed away.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned his head. A figure slowly emerged in the void on the left. It was Yan Jiuzheng who had been hiding in the dark to protect him.

"Congratulations, you have finally broken through to the late Mahayana stage. Our agreement has been fulfilled, and you should fulfill your promise."

"The space channel connecting the Tianyuan Realm to the Immortal Realm is on the Qinghai Xingang Island. This is the exact location." Tang Ning handed him the exact same atlas.

Yan Jiuzheng couldn't wait to open the result drawing and took a look. He showed a happy expression and said suddenly, "You have been there before. It turned out to be for this matter."

"If you have a way to confirm it, it's not too late to go now. Otherwise, it will be too late."

"What do you mean?"

"Another force has learned of this secret. I'm sure they will take action soon. If you run into them, you might get into a lot of trouble."

Yan Jiuzheng was not aware of the deal between him and Jiang Tingan. He was not with him during the negotiations in Hainan, the Spirit World, so he naturally did not know about the agreement between the two parties.

Over the years, although he, Zhuo Jing and Tao Mo took turns to protect his safety in secret, he did not meet Jiang Tingan and Wei Yuan during this period.

He had been staying at the coalition headquarters, and when he went out occasionally, it was not for this matter. The first time Wei Yuan came to see him was in the cave of the coalition headquarters, so he naturally didn't know what the two talked about.

All subsequent transactions were conducted between Nangong Muxue and Wei Yuan. Nangong Muxue took the demon pills and magic crystals and returned to the coalition headquarters to hand them over to himself.

Yan Jiuzheng and others were unaware of this information. Yan Jiuzheng only noticed it when he met Wei Yuan just now, but he was too far away and had no way of knowing what the two of them talked about.

"Another force? Is it the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce?" Although Yan Jiuzheng didn't know the details, he quickly figured out the truth of the matter.

"Yes, it's them. Unfortunately, they just fulfilled my conditions."

"The people you just met were from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce? Did you tell them this clue?"

"Your mission has been completed, you can go. I will look for you when I need you." Tang Ning didn't bother with any more nonsense and went straight to the coalition headquarters. Looking at his disappearing back, Yan Jiuzheng's eyes flickered. He stood there for a while and then disappeared.
