Chapter 1410: Chapter 692: Ancient Ruins, Ancient Times Divine Weapon!_2
Su Qing nodded, expressing her understanding: "Then I will protect you, ensuring no one disturbs you during your closed-door cultivation."
Luo Chen looked at Su Qing gratefully, then began his closed-door cultivation.
He secluded himself in a secret chamber deep within the courtyard, embarking on a long and arduous cultivation journey.
Day after day, month after month, Luo Chen continuously communicated with the Divine Weapon in the secret chamber, perceiving the flow of its inherent spiritual power.
His cultivation was steadily improving, and his control over nature’s spiritual energy became increasingly refined.
Meanwhile, the news about Luo Chen obtaining an ancient Divine Weapon in Seven-Star City had spread like wildfire.
Many cultivators developed a strong interest in Luo Chen, with some even harboring jealousy, wanting to claim the Divine Weapon for themselves.
However, Su Qing remained outside the courtyard, using her strength to successfully fend off all those who attempted to disturb Luo Chen’s closed-door cultivation.
Finally, on a bright and clear morning, Luo Chen stepped out of the secret chamber.
His aura was even more unfathomable, as if he had become one with heaven and earth.
Seeing Luo Chen emerge, a trace of joy flashed in Su Qing’s eyes: "Luo Chen, your cultivation..."
Luo Chen smiled faintly: "I have completely mastered the power of the Divine Weapon, and my cultivation has made a new breakthrough."
Su Qing nodded, knowing that Luo Chen’s future held limitless possibilities.
And outside of this courtyard. freeweɓnøvel~com
At this moment, there was a man wearing gray clothes, emanating a chilling aura.
Silently, he was watching the courtyard from atop a high building.
"So, that’s where Luo Chen is?"
The man’s voice was deep and cold, his gaze as sharp as a hawk, piercing the courtyard walls as if he could see through everything.
Beside him stood several cultivators also dressed in gray, all with a hint of greed in their eyes.
"Yes, sir," one of the cultivators replied respectfully, "According to our information, Luo Chen gained significant power after obtaining an ancient Divine Weapon in the Ancient Ruins."
The man referred to as ’sir’ curled his lips into a cold smile, "An ancient Divine Weapon? So what, there has never been anything ’Gray Shadow Sect’ desired that we couldn’t get."
"But, sir, that Su Qing is no ordinary person; her strength is among the top in Seven-Star City." Another cultivator cautiously reminded.
"Hmph, Su Qing?" The gray-clad man snorted disdainfully, "No matter how strong she is, she can’t escape the clutches of the Gray Shadow Sect. Pass down the order, act tonight; I want that Divine Weapon."
As night fell, Seven-Star City’s lights gradually dimmed, with only scattered starlight twinkling in the night sky.
In Luo Chen’s courtyard, Su Qing still vigilantly patrolled outside, sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere around but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew.
The plants and flowers in the courtyard swayed lightly, Su Qing felt a twinge of concern, knowing that it was a sign of a master infiltrating.
"Come out, you sneaky rats!"
Su Qing shouted coldly.
Before her voice faded, several gray shadows emerged from the surrounding darkness, moving swiftly and bizarrely, as if blending with the night.
"People from Gray Shadow Sect!"
Su Qing was shocked, knowing it was going to be a tough battle.
The cultivators of Gray Shadow Sect wasted no words, launching an attack immediately.
They wielded all sorts of hidden weapons and magical treasures, overwhelming Su Qing with a barrage.
Su Qing’s movements were agile, her longsword dancing like the wind, knocking down the incoming projectiles.
However, the cultivators of Gray Shadow Sect seemed endless, coming at her wave after wave.
The battle in the courtyard grew more intense, and though Su Qing was highly skilled, she began to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of opponents.
At this moment, the door to the secret chamber deep in the courtyard slowly opened, and Luo Chen walked out, holding the ancient Divine Weapon.
His appearance was like a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the entire courtyard.
"Su Qing, you’ve worked hard."
There was a hint of apology in Luo Chen’s voice.
Seeing Luo Chen, a trace of relief appeared in Su Qing’s eyes, "Luo Chen, you’ve finally come out."
The cultivators of Gray Shadow Sect glanced at Luo Chen, their eyes flickering with greed and fear.
They knew that to seize the Divine Weapon, they first had to get past Luo Chen.
Holding the Divine Weapon, Luo Chen emanated a powerful wave of spiritual energy.
His gaze, as sharp as lightning, swept over each of the Gray Shadow Sect cultivators present.
"Gray Shadow Sect, you’ve gone too far!"
Luo Chen shouted in anger, his figure blurred, transforming into a stream of light and charging into the enemy ranks.
The battle instantly reached a fever pitch, with Luo Chen’s ancient Divine Weapon like a dragon weaving through the enemy ranks, each swing accompanied by the screams of Gray Shadow Sect cultivators.
Su Qing also regained her spirit, fighting alongside Luo Chen.
Their coordination was seamless, driving the Gray Shadow Sect cultivators into retreat.
Ultimately, with Luo Chen and Su Qing’s combined efforts, the Gray Shadow Sect cultivators were forced to retreat, leaving behind a field of corpses and wreckage.
After the battle ended, Luo Chen and Su Qing stood in the courtyard, surveying the debris-filled ground, both knowing this was just the beginning.
The Gray Shadow Sect would not let it go and they must be more vigilant.
"Luo Chen, what are your plans next?"
Su Qing asked.
Luo Chen was silent for a moment before resolutely saying: "I plan to go deeper into the Ancient Ruins, where there might be secrets that can help us against the Gray Shadow Sect."
Su Qing nodded, knowing Luo Chen’s decision was the right one.
The two cleaned up the courtyard, preparing to head once more into those Ancient Ruins.
On the other side of Seven-Star City, within the Gray Shadow Sect’s stronghold, the gray-clad man’s face was gloomy as he listened to his subordinates’ report of their failure.
"Luo Chen..." he muttered the name in a low voice, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, "I must see how far you can resist."
The gray-clad man, named You Ming, was the Sect Master of Gray Shadow Sect, his cultivation unfathomable, and he was determined to acquire Luo Chen’s ancient Divine Weapon.
You Ming’s ambition was not limited to Seven-Star City; his gaze had long been set on the broader Cultivation Realm.
After a short rest in the courtyard, Luo Chen and Su Qing began preparing to head deeper into the Ancient Ruins.
They knew this journey would be fraught with danger, but to fight the Gray Shadow Sect, they had no choice.
The Ancient Ruins were located in a desolate area outside Seven-Star City, shrouded in mist all year round, and were rumored to hide countless treasures and ancient secrets.
Luo Chen and Su Qing embarked on the path to the Ancient Ruins, staying alert to their surroundings at all times to prevent an ambush by the Gray Shadow Sect.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance to the Ancient Ruins.
At the entrance stood a huge stele, engraved with ancient runes, exuding a faint glow.
Luo Chen and Su Qing exchanged a glance, nodded, and then stepped into the Ancient Ruins together.
The interior of the ruins was maze-like and complex, filled with crumbling structures and bizarre mechanisms.
Luo Chen and Su Qing cautiously advanced, needing to stay vigilant at all times to avoid triggering traps or encountering the ruins’ Guardians.
In a secret chamber deep within the ruins, Luo Chen discovered an ancient tome, yellowed with age.
Luo Chen carefully picked up the tome, and upon opening it, found records of a powerful Cultivation Technique from Ancient Times called the "Stellar Art."
The "Stellar Art" was a technique that allowed cultivation by harnessing the power of the stars, and when cultivated to great depths, could even summon star forces with immense power.
Luo Chen and Su Qing realized that this technique might be the key to countering the Gray Shadow Sect.
They decided to cultivate the "Stellar Art" within the ruins to enhance their strength.
Time flew by swiftly as they diligently cultivated in the ruins, with Luo Chen’s cultivation advancing rapidly with the aid of the Stellar Art, and Su Qing also comprehending the mysteries of the star force, significantly growing in strength.
However, the Gray Shadow Sect did not give up their greed for the ancient Divine Weapon.
Upon learning that Luo Chen and Su Qing were cultivating in the ruins, You Ming decided to take action personally.
He led the elite disciples of the Gray Shadow Sect, quietly sneaking into the ruins, planning to launch a surprise attack when Luo Chen and Su Qing were least prepared.
