Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They continued to move forward, the Tianxin grass in Luo Chen's hands emitted a soft light, as if comforting their hearts.

After several days of trekking, they finally returned to the place where they had met the ancient gods before.

They have now brought the Tianxin grass that the ancient gods need.

Before, the ancient god had said.

If they bring Tianxin Grass, they will be given a treasure.

I just don't know what this treasure is.

The figure of the ancient god was like a towering mountain. His gaze penetrated time and space and fell on Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hong Ling.

The three of them stood in front of him, holding tightly in their hands the Tianxin grass that emitted a soft glow.

"You are back." The voice of the ancient god was like an echo from ancient times, deep and powerful.

Luo Chen stepped forward and respectfully presented the Tianxin grass, "We have completed the task. This is the Tianxin grass you need."

The Ancient God took the Tianxin Grass, and a trace of praise flashed in his eyes. "You have done a good job. The power of Tianxin Grass will help me complete an important ritual. In return, I will give you a treasure."

He turned and walked towards a huge stone platform, on which were placed various strange objects.

The ancient god reached out and picked up an ancient box, which was carved with complex patterns and seemed to contain some mysterious power.

"An ancient treasure is sealed in this box." The Ancient God General said slowly, "It is called the 'Blade of Time'. When it is wielded, it seems to be able to break through time. Its power is extremely terrifying, but remember, its power is a double-edged sword. Be careful when using it."

Luo Chen took the box and felt the waves coming from the box, as if countless voices were whispering.

"We will use it carefully," he promised.

The ancient god nodded, his eyes seemed to penetrate Luo Chen's soul and examine his heart.

The "Blade of Time" is not just a weapon, it also carries an ancient history and power. Its existence may be a revolution for the entire continent.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling left the residence of the ancient gods with the box. They knew that the journey ahead would no longer be peaceful.

The legend of the Blade of Time has been circulating on the continent for countless centuries. Countless practitioners and greedy people have tried to find it, but all have returned empty-handed.

Now, it is in their hands, which will undoubtedly attract countless covetousness and challenges.

"We have to find a safe place and study this box first." Qingshuang suggested. She knew that if they used the Blade of Time rashly without understanding it, it could have disastrous consequences.

Luo Chen and Hong Ling both agreed with Qingshuang's suggestion.

They decided to go to Qingshuang's hometown, where there was an ancient library with a rich collection of books, and perhaps they could find clues about the Blade of Time.

On the way to Qingshuang's hometown, the three of them took turns guarding the box. They knew that the power sealed in the box was enough to drive anyone crazy.

They carefully avoided crowds, chose to travel at night, and minimized contact with the outside world.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at Qingshuang's hometown.

This is a quiet town surrounded by mountains, where people live a simple and peaceful life.

Qingshuang's family has guarded the library for generations. It is located in the center of the town. It is an ancient stone building full of historical traces.

The director of the library is Qingshuang's uncle, a knowledgeable old man.

He was a little surprised to see Qingshuang coming back with Luochen and Hongling, but when Qingshuang explained to him the whole story, a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

"The Blade of Time..." the curator pondered, "This is indeed a dangerous and powerful treasure. I have read about it in ancient books. It is said that it can cut through time and even reverse life and death. However, the person who uses it must have a strong willpower and a pure heart, otherwise it is easy to be devoured by its power."

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Hong Ling felt heavy in their hearts.

They know that this is not only a test of strength, but also a challenge of self-control and moral choice.

In the following days, Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling began to look for information about the Blade of Time in the library.

They flipped through countless ancient books and finally found a key record in a yellowed page.

"The Blade of Time was forged by the ancient God of Time. It contains the secret of time and can cut the flow of time. But whoever uses it must pay a corresponding price." The records in the book made the three people's hearts rise to their throats.

"What's the price?" Hongling asked nervously.

"The book doesn't specify, but it mentions the 'price of time'." Qingshuang replied with a frown.

They decided to continue their research in the hope of discovering more secrets about the Blade of Time.

Deep within the library, they discovered a hidden room containing a number of exotic instruments and scrolls.

These items seem to have some connection with the Blade of Time.

Luo Chen carefully picked up an ancient scroll with intricate patterns and symbols drawn on it.

He tried to decipher the symbols, but they did not seem to belong to any known language.

"These symbols..." Qingshuang suddenly said, "I have heard of them in an ancient legend. They are the language of time. Only those who truly understand the essence of time can interpret them."

Luo Chen and Hong Ling both looked at Qingshuang. They knew that if anyone could decipher these symbols, it must be Qingshuang.

Qingshuang began to study these symbols intently, trying to find the connection between them and the Blade of Time.

Day after day, she hardly slept, her eyes were bloodshot, but she did not give up.

Finally, late one night, Qingshuang let out a scream.

Luo Chen and Hong Ling immediately gathered around and saw Qingshuang holding a translation manuscript that she had just completed.

"I understand..." Qingshuang's voice trembled a little, "The power of the Blade of Time does come at the cost of the user's life. Every time it is used, it will consume the user's vitality until the life is exhausted."

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Hong Ling were filled with shock and worry.

They knew that although the Blade of Time was powerful, its price was too heavy.

"Then what should we do?" Hongling asked, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Luo Chen was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "We can't let the Blade of Time fall into the wrong hands. If it really requires life as a price, then we can only seal it up."

Qingshuang and Hongling both nodded, they knew Luo Chen was right.

They decided to seal the Blade of Time to prevent it from bringing disaster to the world again.

In the deepest part of the library, they found an ancient sealing array that could completely seal the power of the Blade of Time.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling activated the magic circle together. They placed the box in the center of the magic circle and recited the sealing spell.

As the spell was completed, the box began to glow brightly, and a powerful force surged out of the box, interacting with the power of the circle.

Finally, the light gradually dissipated, the box was completely sealed, and the power of the Blade of Time was safely locked in the magic circle.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling looked at the sealed box and breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that they had done the right thing.

"Success." Luo Chen said, his voice full of determination.

"Yes, it succeeded." Qingshuang and Hongling responded, with relieved smiles on their faces.

They decided to keep this secret deep in their hearts forever and not let anyone know the existence of the Blade of Time.

They knew that some forces were too powerful and should not be released easily.

After that, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling also left this place.

The Blade of Time, since it has been sealed.

Naturally, it was time for them to leave.

A practitioner practices cultivation all his life.

How can you stay stagnant somewhere?
Soon, it was a few days later.

After leaving Qingshuang's hometown, Luo Chen and Qingshuang returned to the extremely lively market town where a large number of immortal cultivators gathered before.

As for Hong Ling
Luo Chen really had no idea where she had gone.

"Sure enough, it's still the most comfortable place to stay."

After arriving at a courtyard to stay, Luo Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and said this with a very comfortable expression.

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, Qing Shuang chuckled, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "You are always so easy-going."

"What's wrong with just going with the flow?" Luo Chen asked back while packing his bag.

Qingshuang shook her head and did not answer. She just walked to the window and looked at the bustling crowd outside.

In her heart, however, she was thinking about the Blade of Time.

Although it has been sealed, the temptation and danger of that power always lingers in her mind.

"Are you still thinking about that knife?" Luo Chen's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Qingshuang turned around, looked at Luo Chen, and nodded: "Yes, that power is too terrifying. I always feel that it is not really sealed."

"Don't think too much, we have tried our best." Luo Chen walked to her and patted her shoulder gently.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised. They didn't have many acquaintances in this strange market.

Luo Chen walked over and opened the door. A woman in red was standing outside the door. It was Hong Ling.

"Hongling, why are you here?" Qingshuang asked in surprise.

Hong Ling smiled slightly, walked into the house, and looked around: "I came to see you, after all, we have been through so much together."

Luo Chen closed the door, and the three of them sat around the table and began to talk about what had happened since they last met.

Hong Ling told them that after she left, she went to an ancient ruin to look for ways to improve her cultivation.

"We did gain something there, but compared to the Blade of Time, it's nothing." Hong Ling sighed, "I always feel that we haven't fully uncovered the secret of that blade."

After hearing this, Qingshuang and Luochen fell into deep thought. They knew that Hongling's words made sense.

The power of the Blade of Time is too mysterious, and what they know may only be the tip of the iceberg.

"No matter what, we have tried our best." Luo Chen emphasized again, "At least now, it is sealed, and we don't have to worry about it anymore."

"I hope so." Hongling nodded, but there was still a hint of worry in her expression.

In the following days, the three decided to stay in the market town temporarily, practicing while keeping an eye out for any news about the Blade of Time.

They knew that the secret of the knife would not end here, and one day it would appear in their lives again.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to look for a suitable place for cultivation in the market, while Hong Ling often went out alone, seemingly looking for something.

One day, Luo Chen found a small stall in a corner of the market town. The stall owner was a white-haired old man who was selling some ancient books and magical instruments.

Luo Chen looked through the ancient books curiously, and suddenly, he found a tattered book with "The Mystery of Time" written on the cover.

He immediately bought the book and took it back home.

Qingshuang and Hongling were both very surprised when they saw the book.

"Where did you find this book?" Qingshuang asked anxiously.

Luo Chen told them what happened, and the three of them immediately sat down and began to read the book.

The contents of the book opened their eyes. It not only contained detailed records about the Blade of Time, but also some profound theories about the laws of time.

The three of them read and discussed, and before they knew it, it had darkened.

"It seems that the secret of the Blade of Time is far more complicated than we imagined." Luo Chen closed the book and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we need more knowledge and more preparation." Qingshuang nodded in agreement.

Hongling remained silent, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She knew that she had to become stronger to face the challenges that might arise in the future.

From that day on, the three began to practice harder. They knew that only by constantly improving themselves would they have enough strength to deal with unknown dangers in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it was several months later.

Since becoming a practitioner, time always passes quickly.

It's like sand flowing through your fingertips.

If you are not careful, it will be several months later.

Not even, let alone months.

The period of seclusion may take several years.

"Luo Chen, how do you feel? Have you improved your strength after several months of retreat?"

Qingshuang's voice sounded in Luo Chen's ears, with a hint of concern and expectation.

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a deep light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through all the vanity in the world.

He exhaled lightly, and that breath seemed to contain the essence of heaven and earth, causing the air around him to shake.

"After several months of seclusion, I feel that I have a deeper understanding of the power of heaven and earth." Luo Chen's voice was calm and powerful. "Although I haven't yet broken through to the next level, my foundation is more solid, and my control over magic is more handy." (End of this chapter)
