Chapter 793 Elders of the Tianxing Sect

Luo Chen nodded, he knew what Qing Shuang said made sense.

In the world of immortality, it is difficult to survive alone. Joining a force may provide them with some protection.

They continued to move forward. Along the way, Luochen and Qingshuang talked about their past days in the valley. Those happy and painful memories have become indelible marks in their hearts.

"Do you still remember the first time we met?" Qingshuang suddenly asked, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Of course I remember. You broke into my magic circle like a wild girl and almost destroyed my runes."

Qingshuang lightly punched Luo Chen, "That's not because the magic circle you set up is too complicated. I accidentally..."

They were walking and reminiscing like this, and before they knew it, the sky was getting dark.

In the distance, a bustling market appeared in front of them, with bright lights and bustling people.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

They know that from this moment on, they will start a new life.

After entering Fangshi, Luochen and Qingshuang first looked for an inn and prepared to settle down first.

In the inn, they heard many rumors about the world of immortality, including some news about Tianxing Sect.

"I heard that the Tianxing Sect has been looking for talented disciples recently. It seems that they are making some big moves." A drinker whispered in the corner.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and bursts of light flashed in their eyes.

"We have to be careful. The Tianxing Sect's forces are all over the world of immortality. We can't take it lightly." Luo Chen whispered to Qingshuang.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew what Luo Chen said was right.

They decided to inquire about more information in the market first, and then make plans.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang asked around in the city. They learned that Tianxing Sect was indeed looking for potential immortal cultivators, but at the same time they also heard some negative news about Tianxing Sect.

"Although the Tianxing Sect is powerful, it is not united internally. The factional struggles within the sect are very fierce." An old man said mysteriously in the teahouse.

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had their own thoughts in their hearts.

After some careful consideration, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided not to join any force for the time being. Instead, they first looked for some gatherings of casual cultivators in the city to see if they could make some like-minded friends.

They met a female cultivator named Ziyun in the market. Ziyun had a cheerful personality and good cultivation. She soon became friends with Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

"You two seem to have great potential. Do you want to join our casual cultivator alliance?" Ziyun extended an invitation to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang at a gathering.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that this was a good opportunity.

Although the Loose Cultivator Alliance does not have a powerful background like the Tianxing Sect, it is more successful because of its freedom, and the members of the alliance are all like-minded friends.

"Loose Cultivator Alliance?" Qingshuang repeated, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Ziyun smiled and nodded, "Yes, although our casual cultivator alliance is not large, the members help each other and make progress together. Here you can find many like-minded friends, and we often have various tasks and Activities can improve your cultivation and increase your knowledge.”

Luochen pondered for a moment, then looked at Qingshuang, as if asking for her opinion.

Qingshuang smiled slightly and said to Ziyun: "It sounds very good, we are willing to join."

Ziyun clapped her hands happily, "Great! You will definitely like it here. Tomorrow we have a small team setting off to explore an ancient ruins. Do you want to come with us?"

Luochen and Qingshuang exchanged a look, and then Luochen replied: "We are very interested, but we still need to prepare."

"No problem, we will meet at the city gate early tomorrow morning." After Ziyun said that, he turned around to greet other casual cultivators.

After Luochen and Qingshuang returned to the inn, they began to prepare for the next day's adventure.

They checked their magic weapons and talismans to make sure everything was in place.

"Do you think there is any danger in this ancient ruins?" Qing Shuang asked while sorting out his magical weapons.

Luo Chen shook his head, "It's hard to say, but since it is a ruin, it will definitely not be simple. We have to be careful."

"Yes, I will pay attention." Qingshuang nodded, and then said softly, "Luochen, no matter what happens, we have to face it together."

Luochen walked to Qingshuang and gently held her hand, "Of course, we have always been like this."

Early the next morning, Luochen and Qingshuang appeared at the city gate on time.

Ziyun was already waiting there, and there were several casual cultivators beside him.

"You're here just in time, we'll set off right away." Ziyun greeted everyone, and then led the team out of the city.

The team passed through dense forests and finally came to an ancient stone door covered by vines and ancient trees.

The stone gate is covered with traces of time, but some ancient runes can be vaguely discerned.

"This is the entrance to the ancient ruins." Ziyun explained, "Everyone, be careful, there may be mechanisms and traps inside."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed Zi Yun's footsteps and cautiously entered the stone gate.

As soon as they entered the ruins, they felt an ancient and mysterious aura rushing towards them.

The interior of the ruins is intricate and full of broken statues and stone pillars.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed Zi Yun, exploring and recording every detail they found.

"Look over there!" Qing Shuang suddenly pointed to a stone platform in front of them, on which was a yellowed ancient book.

Zi Yun walked over, carefully picked up the ancient book, and opened it to check.

"This is a book that records ancient magic, which is very precious to us."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also leaned over to look, and saw that the ancient book recorded many spells and formations they had never seen before.

"We have to take this back." Zi Yun said, and then put the ancient book away.

The team continued to move forward, and they found a huge magic array in a huge stone chamber.

There was a stone platform in the center of the magic array, on which was a crystal ball emitting a faint light.

"What is this?" Qing Shuang asked curiously.

"Not sure..." Luo Chen whispered.

Just as they approached the crystal ball, suddenly, the entire ruins began to shake, and many glowing runes appeared on the walls of the stone chamber.

"No, we have touched the mechanism of the ruins!" Zi Yun exclaimed.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately prepared to deal with possible dangers.

Suddenly, a strong light shot out from the crystal ball, enveloping them.

When the light dissipated, they found themselves teleported to a completely different place.

This is a huge underground cave, with countless gems inlaid on the walls around it, emitting a soft light.

"Where is this?" Qing Shuang looked around and felt uneasy.

"It seems that we have been teleported to the deeper part of the ruins." Luo Chen observed the surroundings vigilantly.

Just then, a heavy footsteps came from the depths of the cave.

A huge figure slowly walked out. It was a giant made of stone, holding a huge axe, with red light flashing in his eyes.

"Be careful, this may be the guardian of the ruins!" Ziyun reminded loudly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately took a fighting stance, ready to fight this sudden enemy.

The giant let out a deafening roar, and then rushed towards them waving a huge axe.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly dispersed to avoid the giant's attack.

"We have to find a way to defeat it!" Luo Chen shouted.

Qingshuang nodded and began to draw runes.

Luochen took out a piece of talisman paper from his waist, injected mana into it, and instantly turned it into a lightsaber.

They fought fiercely with the giant.

Luochen and Qingshuang cooperated tacitly, one attacked with a sword and the other used runes to contain it.

After a hard fight, they finally found the giant's weakness and defeated it together.

After the giant fell, the gems in the cave began to flicker and then gradually dimmed.

As the light of the gems gradually dissipated, a mysterious and ancient atmosphere filled the cave.

Luochen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that although this battle was difficult, the fruits of victory might be just around the corner.

Ziyun walked to the side of the fallen giant and carefully observed the surrounding environment. She found a secret door hidden in the stone wall.

She pushed it gently, and the secret door slowly opened, revealing a staircase extending downward.

"It seems that we have found the way to the core of the ruins." Ziyun's voice was a little excited.

Luochen and Qingshuang followed closely behind, carefully going down the stairs.

The stone walls on both sides of the stairs are full of ancient totems, which seem to tell the long history of this relic.

"These totems look like some kind of ancient records." Qingshuang said softly, gently stroking the concave and convex texture on the stone wall with her fingers.

Luo Chen nodded, and his eyes were attracted by a huge stone door at the end of the stairs.

The stone door was carved with complex patterns, and a huge crystal was inlaid in the center.

"Behind this door, it should be the core of the ruins." Luo Chen said, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

Ziyun walked forward and tried to put his hand on the crystal.

Suddenly, the crystal emitted a soft light, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a spacious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there was a complex device made of various gems and metals, and a sphere emitting dazzling light floated in the center of the device. Around the sphere, several energy streams were flowing slowly, as if maintaining the operation of the entire relic.

"Is this the legendary energy core?" Qingshuang whispered, with a curious light in his eyes.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang approached the energy core, and they could feel the powerful power contained in it.

Zi Yun began to look for possible control mechanisms around the device.

"If we can control this energy core, we may be able to grasp the secrets of the ruins." Zi Yun said, his tone full of desire for exploration.

Luo Chen nodded, and he began to try to communicate with the energy core with mana.

Qing Shuang assisted on the side, using the power of runes to stabilize the flow of energy to prevent any possible loss of control.

Just as they were concentrating on studying the energy core, there were slight footsteps from the other end of the stone chamber.

The three of them immediately became alert, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly stood on both sides of Zi Yun, ready to deal with possible threats.

A figure slowly walked out of the shadows. It was a man in ancient clothes. Although his face was old, his eyes revealed a deep wisdom.

"Who are you?" The man's voice was low and powerful.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and they knew they had to answer carefully.

"We are members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. We accidentally discovered this ruins and just wanted to explore its secrets." Luo Chen replied, trying to keep his tone calm.

The man couldn't help but frown slightly: "Alliance of Loose Cultivators?"

This man is from the Tianxing Sect.

Coming here is also to explore the ancient ruins.

As a result, who would have thought...

He actually met someone from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance here.

The man was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I am an elder of the Tianxing Sect, and my name is Chen Ku. You casual cultivators dare to break into the ruins of my Tianxing Sect without permission. You are really audacious."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked. They didn't expect to meet someone from the Tianxing Sect here, and the other person was an elder.

Ziyun seemed even calmer. She took a step forward and said respectfully: "Elder Chen Ku, we didn't know that this was a relic of the Tianxing Sect. We just heard that there were ancient relics here, so we came to explore. We have no ill intentions." , just want to gain knowledge.”

Now, it seems that they can only say this.

There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person.

Even though they knew very well that relics and opportunities like this were basically ownerless things.

But when facing the elders of Tianxing Sect, he had to bow his head.

Elder Chen Ku glanced at the three of them with blazing eyes, as if he was judging whether Ziyun's words were true.

After a moment, he said slowly: "Since you don't know, that's fine. However, the secrets in this ruins are not something you can get your hands on. You can leave now, but you are not allowed to take anything with you."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that now was not the time to argue.

Luo Chen slightly cupped his hands: "Thank you, Elder Chen Ku, for your magnanimity. We will leave now."

Elder Chen Ku nodded, said nothing, turned and walked towards the energy core.

Luochen, Qingshuang and Ziyun carefully exited the stone room and returned to the ground along the stairs.

On the way back, the three of them felt quite heavy.

They knew that although this expedition did not yield the expected results, it was still a near miss.

Ziyun said softly: "It seems that we still underestimated the strength of Tianxing Sect. Their understanding of the ruins is far beyond our imagination."

Luo Chen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the Tianxing Sect's forces are all over the world of immortality. We still have to be careful, but this experience also taught us a lot."

Qingshuang smiled slightly and comforted: "At least we are still alive, and the tacit understanding between us has become deeper. As long as we keep working hard, one day we can become a force that cannot be ignored in the world of immortality."
