Chapter 1420: Chapter 697: Xu Sanhu’s Death! Qing Shuang, the Confidant!_2
Their relationship was like a dream, returning to their own worlds upon waking.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, pulling his thoughts away from the emotions of separation.
He knew that the path of the Immortal Cultivator was long and lonely, and everyone was the master of their own destiny.
He turned around and looked into the distance, his heart filled with anticipation for the future and the exploration of the unknown.
In the days that followed, Luo Chen continued to delve into his cultivation, beginning to merge the power of the Heart of the Stars with the Star Array, hoping to reach a higher state.
The Heart of the Stars not only endowed him with great power but also gave him a deeper understanding of the Star Force.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Luo Chen once again left his place of cultivation, returning to the small hut he had previously built.
Near the hut, there was a river.
At this moment, he was just like an ordinary person, sitting quietly on the riverbank, holding a fishing rod in hand, calmly fishing.
Luo Chen sat quietly by the river, letting the breeze brush his face, he closed his eyes, feeling the breath of nature.
Fishing for him was not only for food but also a kind of spiritual relaxation and cultivation.
He slowly infused the fishing rod with Star Force, making it easier for fish to take the bait without disturbing their natural instincts.
Just as he was immersed in this tranquility, a voice shattered the peace.
"Luo Chen, you’re indeed here."
A familiar voice rang out.
Luo Chen opened his eyes and turned his head to see a woman in a cyan Taoist Robe standing not far away, her features as picturesque as a painting, with a cool demeanor; she was Qing Shuang, a confidant Luo Chen had met on his cultivation journey.
"Qing Shuang, why are you here?"
Luo Chen stood up, smiling as he approached her.
Qing Shuang smiled gently and said, "I heard you joined forces with the man in black to defeat Xu Sanhu and came to visit."
Luo Chen nodded, inviting Qing Shuang to sit by the river, and they began to talk.
Qing Shuang told Luo Chen that although Xu Sanhu had self-destructed, his remaining forces were still active, trying to avenge him.
"What are your plans next?"
Qing Shuang asked.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to continue cultivating and improving my strength. Although Xu Sanhu is dead, there are many unknown dangers in the Cultivation Realm."
Qing Shuang nodded in agreement.
She told Luo Chen she was also planning to head to a mysterious place to seek opportunities to enhance her cultivation.
"Then let’s go together," Luo Chen suggested.
Surprise flashed in Qing Shuang’s eyes, but she quickly regained her calm; she knew Luo Chen’s suggestion was out of concern for her.
Thus, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang journeyed together.
It was unclear how long they traveled.
After about ten days of continuous travel, they arrived at their destination.
This mountain range was called "Yunmeng Mountain," rumored to hold countless heavenly treasures and ancient cultivation secret manuals.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to venture deeper, seeking opportunities.
"If I remember correctly, you should have been managing the family business, why did you come out suddenly?"
Luo Chen asked Qing Shuang curiously as they walked forward.
Qing Shuang sighed softly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and slowly said, "Things are unpredictable; I initially thought I could steadily manage the family business, but the internal family disputes and external pressures forced me to reconsider my path. I decided to embark on the cultivation road, seeking stronger power to protect what I cherish."
Luo Chen felt a surge of respect upon hearing this.
He knew the cultivation road was fraught with hardships; Qing Shuang’s decision indicated her exceptional courage and determination.
"Are you ready then?" Luo Chen asked with concern.
Qing Shuang nodded, a firm light flashing in her eyes: "I am ready; no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I won’t retreat."
The two conversed as they delved into Yunmeng Mountain.
The mountain was shrouded in mist, ancient trees towered above, and occasionally, roars of beasts could be heard in the distance, making it appear particularly mysterious.
After several days of exploration, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally discovered an ancient cave dwelling hidden in the valley.
The entrance was concealed by vines and weeds, making it difficult to notice without careful observation.
"This place seems unusual."
Luo Chen observed the surroundings warily, Star Force circulating gently within him, ready to respond to any potential danger.
Qing Shuang nodded; she also felt the ancient aura emanating from the cave, making her heart nervously tight.
Carefully they entered the cave, finding it filled with various mechanisms and formations.
Though old, these mechanisms were still formidable.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, using absolute strength and cautious nature, easily dismantled these obstacles.
Deep into the cave, they reached a spacious hall.
In the center of the hall rested a giant stone platform, upon which lay an ancient book and several magic artifacts glowing with Spirit Light.
"Are these the legendary cultivation secret manual and magical treasures?"
Delight flickered in Qing Shuang’s eyes.
Just as Qing Shuang took a step forward.
Luo Chen suddenly stopped her.
"What’s wrong?"
Qing Shuang asked curiously.
Luo Chen silently shook his head, not answering, but directing his gaze in a certain direction.
Sure enough, shortly after.
A few cultivators, clad in varied attire and wearing sinister smiles, silently entered the cave.
"Boss, these seem to be two young ones just out for training."
One of the cultivators, with eyes sharp as an eagle, swept his gaze over Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"You young ones dare intrude on the ancient cave dwelling in Yunmeng Mountain, truly unaware of your limits." The leading cultivator sneered.
Luo Chen furrowed his brows, sensing the not-so-weak spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the cultivators, indicating they were not easy opponents.
He turned to Qing Shuang, whispering: "Be careful, these people mean trouble."
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing this was not the time for bravado, gripping her magic artifact tightly, prepared to respond to any potential battle.
"We mean no harm, just seeking opportunities here,"
Luo Chen tried to maintain a peaceful tone, aiming to avoid unnecessary conflict.
However, the leader of the cultivators was unimpressed, chuckling coldly, "Opportunities? The treasures in this cave have long caught our eye; you juniors should just leave quietly."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, seeing the determination in each other’s eyes.
They knew these cultivators would not easily let them go; rather than retreat, they decided to fight.
"If that’s the case, we have no choice but to offend you."
No sooner had Luo Chen finished speaking than he swiftly activated the Star Force, a faint starlight emanating from him as a powerful aura burst forth.
Qing Shuang, unwilling to be outdone, let her magic artifact shine brilliantly, sending beams of cyan light like sharp swords towards the cultivators.
The battle erupted immediately, with both sides unleashing their powers without reservation.
Luo Chen moved like lightning, weaving between enemy attacks, each strike carrying the oppressive force of the Star Force, making it hard for opponents to withstand.
Qing Shuang moved like a gentle breeze, graceful and agile, her magic artifact alive in her hands, each swing striking with precision.
Though the cultivators outnumbered them, against Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s seamless cooperation, they gradually became overwhelmed.
The leading cultivator’s face changed, unprepared for the young ones’ formidable power.
"Form the formation!"
Upon the leader’s command, the others swiftly repositioned, creating a formation of offensive and defensive capabilities.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, seeing this, quickly altered their strategy as well.
Luo Chen activated the Star Array, enveloping himself and Qing Shuang, forming a highly defensive barrier.
Seizing the opportunity, Qing Shuang attacked, her magic artifact transforming into streams of cyan light, persistently assaulting the enemy’s formation.
