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

In the center of the room, there is a mysterious crimson egg.

There seem to be some strange patterns on the top of the egg.

"What kind of egg is this?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the entrance of the room, their eyes attracted by the scarlet egg.

A strange light was flowing on the eggshell, as if it contained some powerful power.

Apart from this egg, the room seemed unusually empty, with only some ancient patterns carved on the walls, which seemed to be telling some legend.

"I've never seen anything like this egg." Luo Chen whispered, his eyes carefully observing the patterns on the eggshell.

Qing Shuang nodded and replied softly: "Yes, the material and smell of this egg are very special. I feel that it may be closely related to this relic."

The two of them walked slowly into the room and looked around the egg carefully.

Luo Chen noticed that the patterns on the eggshell seemed to be somehow connected to the patterns on the walls of the room, and he began to try to decipher these patterns.

"These patterns may be an ancient formation, and may be related to the hatching of this egg." Luo Chen said, his fingers gently brushing over the lines.

Qingshuang also came over, and she tried to understand the meaning of these patterns: "If this is really a hatching formation, then we may need to find a way to activate it."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up: "Let's give it a try, but be careful, this ancient formation may have unexpected effects."

The two began to follow the instructions of the pattern, carefully adjusting the flow of energy in the room.

As they moved, the air in the room began to tremble slightly, and the light on the eggshell became brighter and brighter.

"It seems that our guess is correct." A hint of excitement flashed in Luo Chen's eyes.

Qing Shuang remained alert, she knew anything could happen: "Go on, Luo Chen, we have to see what this egg does."

As the energy continued to adjust, the light on the eggshell reached its peak, and then suddenly burst into a dazzling red light.

In the red light, cracks began to appear on the eggshell, as if something was about to break out.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their breath and watched the scene nervously.

The cracks on the eggshell gradually widened, and a strange creature poked its head out from it.

It looks like a small bird, but its body is covered with flaming feathers, making it look extremely beautiful and mysterious.

"Is this... a phoenix?" Qingshuang said in surprise. She had heard of this legendary beast.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes full of surprise: "It seems that we have not only discovered the secret of this relic, but also witnessed the birth of the legendary phoenix."

The phoenix seemed curious about the arrival of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, and it looked at them with clear eyes.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that the appearance of the phoenix might mean that they would face new challenges and opportunities.

"We have to treat it with caution. The Phoenix is ​​an extremely powerful being." Luo Chen reminded in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen's reminder was necessary: ​​"Let's try not to disturb it and see how it will react."

The phoenix flew around the room and then stopped in front of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

It gently touched Luo Chen's palm with its sharp beak, as if expressing some friendliness.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a warm force coming from the contact of the Phoenix, and they knew that the Phoenix had no ill will towards them.

"It seems that it accepts us." Luo Chen said with a smile.

"Let's take it away from here first." Qingshuang suggested. She looked around, worried that other unknown dangers might arise.

Luo Chen agreed to Qingshuang's proposal, and they decided to take the Phoenix to a safer place first.

Luo Chen carefully held the phoenix in his hands. The phoenix seemed to understand their intentions and lay quietly in his palm.

They returned along the corridor they came from. Along the way, the phoenix occasionally chirped softly, as if communicating with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could not understand the Phoenix's language, they could feel its emotions, which were its expectation and curiosity about the new world.

When they returned to the hall, Luo Chen noticed that the statue had completely stopped moving, and the eyes that once glowed red were now dim.

He knew in his heart that the statue had once been a guardian of this room, and that they had passed its test.

"Let's keep moving forward." Luo Chen said, with a hint of firmness in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that there were more secrets waiting for them to explore deep in the ruins.

They took Phoenix through the hall and came to a new passage.

This passage is darker than the previous corridor, and the walls are inlaid with some glowing gems, emitting a soft light.

They moved cautiously along the passage, the Phoenix resting quietly in Luo Chen's hands.

Suddenly, a light gate appeared at the end of the passage, and a bright light shone through the light gate.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this light gate might lead to a deeper part of the ruins, or to a whole new world.

They were full of anticipation, but also a little nervous.

"Let's go." Luo Chen said, his voice full of determination.

They passed through the light gate and came to a strange space.

This place seems like a huge greenhouse, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing around, exuding charming fragrance.

In the center of the space, there is a clear pool with a huge lotus floating in the center of the pool.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked by the scene before them. They had never seen such a beautiful place.

The phoenix seemed to be attracted by the scene here. It flew up from Luo Chen's hand and circled happily in the air.

"Here... this place seems like a paradise." Qingshuang exclaimed, her eyes full of surprise.

Luo Chen nodded and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.

He knew that there must be some secret hidden in this space, perhaps related to the birth of the phoenix.

"Let's take a look around." Luo Chen suggested, his eyes falling on the lotus in the center of the pond.

Qingshuang agreed to Luo Chen's proposal, and they began to explore in space.

They found that every plant here exuded powerful vitality and seemed to contain some mysterious power.

As they approached the pond, the phoenix suddenly flew over the lotus and gently touched the petals of the lotus with its beak.

The lotus seemed to be sensed by something and slowly opened, revealing a golden fruit.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at this scene in surprise. They knew that this fruit must be extraordinary.

The phoenix seemed to understand the importance of the fruit. It gently protected the fruit with its wings and did not let anyone get close.

"This fruit... could it be the food of the phoenix?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice, her heart full of doubts.

Luo Chen did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the fruit.

He knew that this fruit could be the key to the growth of the phoenix, or the ultimate goal of their exploration of the ruins. "We have to be careful with this fruit," Luo Chen said, with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew what Luo Chen meant.

They had to keep the fruit safe and not let any greedy person get it.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang began to look for ways to protect the fruit in space.

They found that some plants in the space seemed to have powerful protective effects and could be used to create defensive barriers.

"We can use these plants to create a barrier." Luo Chen said, with a gleam in his eyes.

Qingshuang agreed to Luo Chen's proposal, and they began to collect plants in the space.

After some effort, they finally created a powerful defensive barrier to protect the fruit firmly.

"This should be safe enough." Luo Chen said with satisfaction, his eyes fell on the Phoenix.

The phoenix seemed to have sensed their efforts, and it looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang with gratitude.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they had completed their mission and protected the phoenix and its food.

"It's time for us to leave." Luo Chen said, with a hint of reluctance in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded.

They have experienced too many dangers in this ruins, it is time to return to the real world.

As for the mysterious phoenix.
This time, he didn't seem to have thought of leaving with Luo Chen.

Just stay quietly beside the fruit.

"So, my fate with the phoenix ends here?"

Luo Chen and Qingshuang stood at the entrance of the space. They looked back at the quiet pool and the phoenix guarding the fruit, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

They knew that although they were about to leave this place full of mystery and miracles, this experience would become an unforgettable memory in their lives.

"Let's go, Qingshuang." Luo Chen said softly, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Qingshuang nodded, her eyes flickering with nostalgia for this space.

However, she understood that they still had their own things to do and could not stay here forever.

They turned around and walked slowly along the path they came from.

The phoenix chirped softly behind them, as if saying goodbye to them.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stopped and looked back. The phoenix had quietly returned to the lotus and continued to guard the golden fruit.

"It doesn't seem to intend to go with us." Qingshuang said softly.

"Perhaps, it has its own mission here." Luo Chen replied, with a hint of philosophy in his voice.

They continued forward, passed through the light gate, and returned to the dark corridor.

The gems in the corridor still emitted a soft glow, illuminating their way.

They walked carefully down the corridor and returned to the hall.

In the hall, the statue that once threatened them remained motionless, as if it was sleeping.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang walked around the statue and came to the entrance where they first entered the ruins.

"Are we really leaving?" Qingshuang asked again, still seeming a little hesitant.

Luo Chen looked at her with a smile, "We have basically explored the secret realm and the ruins inside it. It is time to leave. Besides, there are still many cultivators in this secret realm who are frantically looking for us!"

"Yes, it's time for us to leave." Qingshuang said firmly, with a gleam of determination in her eyes.

Luo Chen nodded and began to look for a way to leave the secret realm.

They knew that the entrance to the secret realm was not so easy to find, and that the entrance to the secret realm might have changed during their exploration.

The two began to search carefully for possible clues in the hall.

Luo Chen noticed some strange symbols on the walls of the hall, which seemed to be somehow connected to the patterns they had seen in the ruins before.

"These symbols may be a guide." Luo Chen whispered, his fingers lightly brushing over the symbols.

Qingshuang also came over. She tried to understand the meaning of these symbols: "If these symbols really point to the exit, then we may need to find a way to activate them."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up: "Let's give it a try, but be careful, these symbols may hide some kind of mechanism."

The two began to follow the instructions of the symbols, carefully adjusting the flow of energy in the hall.

As they moved, the air in the hall began to vibrate slightly, and the symbols on the walls began to emit a faint light.

"It seems that our guess is correct." A hint of excitement flashed in Luo Chen's eyes.

Qing Shuang remained alert, knowing that anything could happen: "Go on, Luo Chen, we have to see where these symbols will take us."

As the energy continued to adjust, a slowly rotating circle of light suddenly appeared on the ground in the center of the hall.

There was a strong suction force coming from the aperture, as if it was a portal.

"This should be the exit from the secret realm." Luo Chen said, with a hint of relief in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that they were about to return to the real world full of disputes and dangers: "Let's go."

They held hands and stepped into the circle of light together.

A feeling of dizziness came over them, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing at the entrance to the secret realm.

The outside world is still bustling, and the immortal cultivators are still searching for the entrance to the secret realm.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that they had to be careful and not let anyone discover their whereabouts.

"Let's go before those people find us."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang quickly left the entrance to the secret realm and hid in a dense forest.

They knew that once discovered by those greedy immortal cultivators, they would face endless pursuit and competition.

"What should we do next?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Luo Chen looked around to make sure no one was nearby before answering, "We need to find a safe place to rest up and plan our future actions."

Qingshuang nodded.

They have been through too much, and they need some time to recover both physically and mentally.

The two walked through the woods and finally found a hidden cave.

The cave was dry and spacious, enough for them to settle down temporarily. (End of this chapter)
