Chapter 693 Ancient relics, ancient magic weapons!

Luo Chen closed his eyes and felt the power. He felt a strange connection between his soul and the ancient book.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the black-robed monk and the female cultivator were looking at him with a complicated look.

"It seems that this ancient book has chosen you."

The female cultivator said softly, with a flash of envy in her eyes.

Although the black-robed monk was unwilling, he could only accept the reality. He snorted coldly and turned away.

Luo Chen walked up to the altar, reached out to touch the light, and the inheritance mark of the ancient book slowly merged into his body.

In an instant, he felt that his cultivation had made a qualitative leap, and his perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became more acute.

As the inheritance mark of the ancient book merged, other objects on the altar also began to change. The light they emitted gradually gathered on Luo Chen, forming a faint protective shield.

"Congratulations, you have obtained the inheritance of the ancient cultivator."

The female cultivator stepped forward and said with a smile.

Luo Chen nodded, his heart full of gratitude and excitement.

He knew that this trip to the Seven Star City not only allowed him to obtain the Tianyuan Pearl, but also accidentally obtained the inheritance of ancient books, and his path to cultivating immortals would be broader because of this.

However, these are all things to come.

Now, this ancient ruins has just been opened.

He has obtained such a great harvest.

Next, should he continue to explore this ancient ruins, or stop while he is ahead, this has become a problem.

Luo Chen stood on the altar, his heart was surging.

He knew very well that the opportunities hidden in this ancient ruins were far more than this, but at the same time, dangers were everywhere.

He needed to act cautiously and not ignore the potential dangers because of the momentary excitement.

"Daoyou, what are you going to do next?"

The voice of the female cultivator interrupted Luo Chen's meditation.

Luo Chen turned around and smiled at the female cultivator: "I plan to continue exploring. After all, such an opportunity is rare, but I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Su Qing."

The female cultivator replied, with a flash of admiration in her eyes: "Since you are so determined, I might as well go with you. Two people are always safer than one person."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement.

The two left the altar together and began to explore the ancient ruins.

As they went deeper, they found some ancient mechanisms and traps, but with Luo Chen's keen perception and Su Qing's wit, they escaped danger.

In front of a seemingly ordinary stone wall, Luo Chen suddenly stopped.

He felt that there seemed to be something hidden behind the stone wall.

He reached out and touched it gently, and a faint spiritual fluctuation came from the stone wall.

"There may be a secret door here."

Luo Chen said to Su Qing.

Su Qing nodded, and the two began to carefully examine the stone wall.

After some exploration, Luo Chen found a mechanism. With a light press, the stone wall slowly opened, revealing a downward staircase.

The stairs were deep and narrow, and Luo Chen and Su Qing walked down carefully.

At the end of the stairs was a spacious basement, with some strange red flames burning on the walls around.

In the center of the basement, there was an ancient sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus was covered with complex runes, as if guarding something.

Luo Chen and Su Qing looked at each other, and saw a hint of tension and expectation in each other's eyes.

Luo Chen walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the sarcophagus.

He found that these runes had some connection with the ancient book inheritance mark he had obtained before.

He tried to interpret these runes with the knowledge in the ancient books, and suddenly, the sarcophagus made a low roar and slowly opened.

A powerful force surged out of the sarcophagus, and Luo Chen and Su Qing could hardly stand.

They saw a skeleton wearing ancient armor lying in the sarcophagus, holding a long sword in his hand, and a faint light was flowing on the sword.

"Could this be..."

Su Qing's voice was trembling.

Luo Chen stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grasp the long sword.

The long sword seemed to have life, fitting perfectly with his palm.

A powerful force surged into Luo Chen's body, and his cultivation was improved again.

"This is an ancient magic weapon!"

Luo Chen said excitedly.

Su Qing's eyes also flashed with excitement. She knew that Luo Chen's strength would be further improved after obtaining this magic weapon.

The two decided to take this magic weapon out of the ancient ruins.

Before leaving, Luo Chen re-placed the bones in the sarcophagus and expressed the highest respect for this ancient cultivator.

When they returned to Qixing City with the magic weapon, the news spread like wildfire, and the entire cultivation world was shocked.

......

In Qixing City.

Luo Chen was quietly staying in a courtyard he rented.

With a calm expression, he slowly stroked the ancient magic weapon in his hand.

"Good weapon..."

Luo Chen was filled with emotion. This ancient magic weapon was not only a powerful weapon, but also carried a heritage of history and power.

He could feel that this long sword contained an ancient and powerful spiritual power, as if it could resonate with the heaven and earth.

Su Qing stood aside, looking at the long sword in Luo Chen's hand, with a trace of envy in her eyes.

She knew that the appearance of this magic weapon would change Luo Chen's position in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Luo Chen, with this magic weapon, your strength is no longer what it used to be."

"Next, what are you going to do?"

Su Qing asked.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I plan to practice in seclusion and completely master the power of this magic weapon. At the same time, I also want to study the knowledge in ancient books in depth to improve my cultivation."

Su Qing nodded, showing understanding: "Then I will protect you and ensure that no one disturbs you during your seclusion."

Luo Chen looked at Su Qing gratefully, and then began to practice in seclusion.

He locked himself in a secret room deep in the courtyard and began a long and arduous practice.

Day after day, month after month, Luo Chen continued to communicate with the magic weapon in the secret room and felt the flow of its inner spiritual power.

His cultivation was steadily improving, and his control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became more and more exquisite.

At the same time, the news that Luo Chen had obtained the ancient magic weapon in Qixing City had spread widely.

Many immortal cultivators had a strong interest in Luo Chen, and some even became jealous and wanted to take the magic weapon for themselves.

However, Su Qing had been guarding outside the courtyard. With her own strength, she successfully blocked all those who tried to disturb Luo Chen's seclusion.

Finally, on a sunny morning, Luo Chen walked out of the secret room.

His aura was even more unfathomable, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the world.

Su Qing saw Luo Chen coming out of seclusion, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Luo Chen, your cultivation..."

Luo Chen smiled slightly: "I have completely mastered the power of the magic weapon, and my cultivation has also made a new breakthrough."

Su Qing nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's future would be limitless.

And outside this courtyard.

At this moment, there was a man with a gray robe and a cold breath on his body.

He was silently watching the courtyard from a high building.

"So, that's where Luo Chen is?"

The man's voice was low and cold, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, penetrating the wall of the courtyard, as if he could see through everything.

Standing next to him were several cultivators who were also dressed in gray, and their eyes revealed a trace of unnoticeable greed.

"Yes, sir." One of the immortal cultivators answered respectfully, "According to our intelligence, Luo Chen got an ancient magic weapon in the ancient ruins, and his strength has greatly increased."

The man called sir raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Ancient magic weapon? So what, my 'Gray Shadow Sect' has not failed to get what it wants."

"But, sir, Su Qing is not an ordinary person, her strength is also one of the best in Seven Star City." Another immortal cultivator reminded cautiously.

"Humph, Su Qing?" The gray-clothed man snorted disdainfully, "No matter how strong she is, she can't escape the palm of my Gray Shadow Sect. Pass the order, take action tonight, I want that magic weapon."

As night fell, the lights of Seven Star City gradually went out, and only sporadic starlight flickered in the night sky.

In Luo Chen's courtyard, Su Qing was still patrolling outside the courtyard vigilantly. She could feel that the atmosphere around her was a little wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Suddenly, a breeze blew.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently, and Su Qing's heart tightened. She knew that this was a sign that a master had sneaked in.

"Come out, you coward!"

Su Qing shouted coldly.

Before she finished speaking, several gray shadows suddenly emerged from the shadows around her. They moved quickly and strangely, as if they were integrated into the night.

"People from the Gray Shadow Sect!"

Su Qing was shocked. She knew that this was a tough battle.

The cultivators of the Gray Shadow Sect did not say much and launched an attack directly.

They waved various hidden weapons and magic weapons in their hands and attacked Su Qing in an overwhelming manner.

Su Qing's figure was agile, and the long sword in her hand danced like the wind, knocking down all the hidden weapons that attacked.

However, the cultivators of the Gray Shadow Sect seemed endless, and they came up one after another.

The battle in the courtyard became more and more intense. Although Su Qing was strong, she gradually felt powerless in the face of so many enemies.

At this moment, the door of the secret room deep in the courtyard slowly opened, and Luo Chen walked out slowly with the ancient magic weapon in his hand.

His appearance was like a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the entire courtyard.

"Su Qing, you have worked hard."

Luo Chen's voice was filled with a hint of apology.

Su Qing saw Luo Chen, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, "Luo Chen, you finally came out of seclusion."

The cultivators of the Gray Shadow Sect saw Luo Chen, and a trace of greed and fear flashed in their eyes.

They knew that if they wanted to seize the magic weapon, they had to pass Luo Chen first.

Luo Chen held the magic weapon in his hand, and a powerful spiritual power wave emanated from him.

His eyes were like lightning, sweeping across every Gray Shadow Sect cultivator present.

"Gray Shadow Sect, you are bullying too much!"

Luo Chen shouted angrily, and his figure shook, turning into a stream of light and rushing into the enemy formation.

The battle instantly became white-hot, and the ancient magic weapon in Luo Chen's hand was like a swimming dragon, shuttling through the enemy group, and every swing was accompanied by the screams of the Gray Shadow Sect cultivators.

Su Qing also regained her spirit and fought side by side with Luo Chen.

The two cooperated well and repelled all the cultivators of the Gray Shadow Sect.

In the end, with the joint efforts of Luo Chen and Su Qing, the cultivators of the Gray Shadow Sect had to retreat, leaving behind corpses and mess.

After the battle, Luo Chen and Su Qing stood in the courtyard, looking at the wreckage on the ground. Both knew that this was just the beginning.

The Gray Shadow Sect would not give up, and they had to be more cautious.

"Luo Chen, what are your plans next?"

Su Qing asked.

Luo Chen was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "I'm going to the depths of the ancient ruins, where there may be secrets that can help us fight against the Gray Shadow Sect."

Su Qing nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's decision was right.

The two cleaned up the courtyard and prepared to go to the ancient ruins again.

At the other end of the Seven Star City, in the Gray Shadow Sect's base, the gray-clothed man was listening to his subordinates' reports of failure with a gloomy face.

"Luo Chen..." He whispered the name, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "I want to see how far you can fight."

The gray-clothed man's name is Youming, the leader of the Gray Shadow Sect. His cultivation is unfathomable. He is determined to get Luo Chen's ancient magic weapon.

Youming's ambition is not limited to the Seven Star City. His eyes have long been cast on the more distant world of cultivation.

After Luo Chen and Su Qing took a short rest in the courtyard, they began to prepare to go to the depths of the ancient ruins.

They knew that this trip would be full of dangers, but in order to fight against the Gray Shadow Sect, they had no choice.

The ancient ruins are located in a desolate land outside the Seven Star City, which is shrouded in fog all year round. Legend has it that there are countless secret treasures and ancient secrets hidden there.

Luo Chen and Su Qing set out on the journey to the ancient ruins. Along the way, they were always alert to the movements around them to prevent sneak attacks from the Gray Shadow Sect.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ancient ruins.

There was a huge stone tablet at the entrance, engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

Luo Chen and Su Qing looked at each other, nodded, and then stepped into the ancient ruins together.

The interior of the ruins was as complicated as a maze, with ruined buildings and strange mechanisms everywhere.

Luo Chen and Su Qing moved forward carefully. They had to stay alert at all times to avoid triggering the mechanism or encountering the guardian in the ruins.

Deep in the ruins, in another secret room, Luo Chen found a yellowed ancient book.

Luo Chen carefully picked up the ancient book, opened it, and found that it recorded a powerful technique from the ancient times - "Star Art".

"Star Art" is a technique that can be practiced with the help of the power of the stars. When practiced to a high level, it can even draw the power of the stars, with infinite power.

Luo Chen and Su Qing realized that this technique might be the key to their fight against the Gray Shadow Sect.

They decided to practice "Star Art" in the ruins to improve their strength.

Time passed quickly, and they practiced hard in the ruins. Luo Chen's cultivation made rapid progress with the help of Star Art, and Su Qing also realized the mystery of the power of the stars and greatly increased her strength.

However, the Gray Shadow Sect did not give up coveting the ancient magic weapon.

Youming learned that Luo Chen and Su Qing were practicing in the ruins and decided to take action himself.

He led the elite disciples of the Gray Shadow Sect and sneaked into the ruins quietly, preparing to launch a surprise attack when Luo Chen and Su Qing were least prepared.
