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

"It should be safe enough here." Luo Chen said. He began to set up some simple defensive arrays at the entrance of the cave, just in case.

Qingshuang began to sort out some items they brought out from the secret realm, including some precious medicinal herbs and magical instruments.

"Luo Chen, look at this." Qingshuang picked up an ancient jade pendant, which was engraved with some runes she had never seen before.

Luo Chen took the jade pendant, observed it carefully, and then said: "This jade pendant seems to contain powerful power. It may have been left by a powerful immortal cultivator."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen had a deeper understanding of these ancient artifacts. "Then how should we use it?"

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied: "Let's not rush to use it. Let's study the meaning of these runes first to avoid triggering any bad effects."

Qingshuang agreed with Luo Chen's suggestion, and the two began to concentrate on studying the runes on the jade pendant.

Time passed quietly during their research, and before they knew it, night had fallen.

Occasionally, the roars of wild beasts could be heard from the woods outside the cave, but they were blocked by the magic circle set up by Luo Chen.

"Luo Chen, I'm a little tired." Qingshuang rubbed her eyes. She had been studying for several hours in a row.

Luo Chen put down the jade pendant in his hand and looked at her with concern: "Then let's take a rest first and continue tomorrow."

Qingshuang nodded, found a clean place, spread out a blanket, and lay down.

Luo Chen also lay down beside her, and the two of them depended on each other, feeling each other's warmth.

The next morning, the sunlight shone on their faces through the cracks in the cave, waking up the sleeping Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"Good morning." Qingshuang said to Luo Chen with a smile.

Luo Chen responded with a warm smile: "Good morning, Qingshuang, today we will continue to study the jade pendant, maybe we can find some useful information from it."

The two began to study the runes on the jade pendant again. As time went by, they gradually deciphered the meaning of some of the runes.

"These runes seem to be related to space." Luo Chen said, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Qingshuang also felt excited: "Could this jade pendant open a space channel leading to other places?"

Luo Chen nodded: "It's possible, let's give it a try."

They followed the instructions of the deciphered runes and began trying to activate the jade pendant.

As energy was injected, the jade pendant began to emit a soft light, and a small light gate slowly opened in front of them.

"Success!" Qingshuang shouted excitedly.

Luo Chen was also surprised: "It seems that our guess is correct. This jade pendant can indeed open the space channel."

They approached the light gate cautiously, and through the light gate, they saw a whole new world with strange plants and buildings, which seemed to be a completely different place.

"Should we go in and take a look?" Qingshuang asked, her heart full of curiosity.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied: "Let's be prepared first. This space may hide unknown dangers."

The two began to prepare some necessary items and magical tools to ensure that they could deal with various emergencies when entering the new space.

After everything was ready, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held hands and stepped into the light gate together.

A feeling of dizziness came over them, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing in a completely new world.

The sky here was a strange purple color, and growing on the ground were some plants they had never seen before.

"Where...where is this place?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice, her eyes full of surprise.

Luo Chen looked around and replied: "It seems that we have entered an unknown space. Everything here is different from the world we know."

They began to explore this new space, hoping to find some clues to understand the origin and secrets of this place.

During the exploration, they encountered some strange creatures. These creatures seemed curious about the arrival of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, but did not show any hostility.

"These creatures... they seem very friendly." Qingshuang said, reaching out and gently stroking the head of a small creature.

Luo Chen nodded. He was also observing these creatures. "Maybe we can try to communicate with them. Maybe they can tell us something about this place."

They began to try to communicate with these creatures, and although they did not speak the same language, they found that these creatures could understand their emotions and intentions.

After some effort, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally learned from these creatures that this space is called "Purple Cloud Realm", a space parallel to their world, where all kinds of strange creatures and plants live.

"Purple Cloud Realm..." Luo Chen repeated the name in a low voice, his heart filled with the desire to explore.

Qingshuang was full of curiosity about this new world: "Where are we going next?"

Luo Chen smiled and replied: "Let's continue exploring and see if we can find a way to return to our world, and at the same time understand the secrets of this world."

The two continued to explore in the Ziyun Realm. They discovered that the resources here were rich, with many precious medicinal herbs and minerals, and even some powerful magical instruments and secret books.

"This is simply a paradise for cultivators." Qingshuang exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Luo Chen nodded, and he began to think about how to use these resources: "We can collect some useful resources here and bring them back to our world, which will be of great help to our future cultivation."

Qingshuang agreed to Luo Chen's plan, and the two began to collect resources in the Ziyun Realm.

In the process, they also encountered some challenges and dangers, but they overcame them one by one.

After a period of exploration and collection, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang have accumulated a large amount of resources.

They knew it was time to return to their own world.

"Withdraw!"

Luo Chen said, with a hint of reluctance in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded. She also felt a little nostalgic for this beautiful and mysterious world.

They began looking for a way to return to their own world, and after some effort, they finally found a place that could open a space channel.

"Are you ready?" Luo Chen asked, holding in his hand a special ore found in the Ziyun Realm.

Qingshuang nodded, with a determined light flashing in her eyes: "I'm ready."

Luo Chen began to use the power of the ore to open a passage to their world.

As the light shone, they stepped into the space channel again.

A feeling of dizziness came over them, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in their own world.

After resting for a few more days in the cave.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally left the cave. They planned to return to the alliance first.

It's always dangerous and unsafe to be outside.

However, this place is still quite far from the alliance headquarters.

It would still take them a lot of time to get back.

"Qingshuang, take it."

Luo Chen picked a red fruit from the spiritual tree and threw it to Qingshuang.

Qingshuang took the fruit and looked at it curiously: "What is this?"

"This is a spiritual fruit that I found in the Ziyun Realm. It is called the Red Flame Fruit. It contains powerful fire energy and is a rare treasure for those who practice fire magic." Luo Chen explained.

Qing Shuang heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Then I must keep it well. When I return to the alliance, maybe I can use it to exchange for some resources we need."

Luo Chen nodded, he looked around and confirmed the direction: "Let's go, Qingshuang, although it is temporarily safe here, it is better to return to the alliance as soon as possible."

The two packed their bags and set out on the journey back to the alliance headquarters.

Along the way, they carefully avoided possible dangers and tried to choose remote paths.

"Luo Chen, have you ever thought that our adventure this time might attract attention from within the alliance?" Qingshuang asked as they walked.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and replied: "Indeed, we have brought back so many precious resources, as well as the secrets of the Purple Cloud Realm. This is enough to arouse the covetousness of some people, but we must be careful not to let these resources fall into the hands of people with bad intentions."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that what Luo Chen said made sense.

In the world of immortal cultivation, resources and information often mean power, and power attracts greed and fighting.

The two continued to move forward, passing through dense forests and climbing over steep mountains.

During their journey, they also encountered some small-scale groups of cultivators, but they cleverly avoided them.

"Luo Chen, look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to an open space in front and said in a low voice.

Luo Chen looked in the direction Qingshuang pointed, and saw a group of immortal cultivators besieging a huge monster.

The monster was covered with hard scales and spewed hot flames from its mouth.

"That's a fire-scale beast, a very ferocious monster. These immortal cultivators are probably no match for it." Luo Chen said with a frown.

Qingshuang looked at those immortal cultivators, a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes: "Should we help them?"

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, we can try out the new magic weapon."

The two men quickly approached the battlefield. Luo Chen took out a jade talisman from his arms and injected true energy into it. The jade talisman immediately emitted a dazzling light and turned into a light curtain that trapped the Fire Scale Beast.

"Attack!" Luo Chen gave an order, and Qingshuang immediately swung the sword in his hand. Sword Qi attacked the Fire Scale Beast like a storm.

With the combined efforts of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, the Fire Scale Beast was quickly subdued.

Seeing this, those immortal cultivators expressed their gratitude to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"Thank you both for your help. May I know your names?" an immortal cultivator stepped forward and asked.

Luo Chen smiled slightly: "I am Luo Chen, this is my companion Qing Shuang."

"It turns out to be fellow Taoists Luo Chen and Qing Shuang. I have long heard of your great names. I am a disciple of the Feiyun Sect, and my name is Zhao Yun." The immortal cultivator said respectfully.

"You are too polite, Brother Daoist Zhao Yun. We were just passing by here and saw that you were in trouble, so we offered our help." Luo Chen replied.

"Fellow Daoist Luochen, where are you going?" Zhao Yun asked curiously.

"We plan to return to the alliance headquarters." Luo Chen answered truthfully.

"Alliance headquarters?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Zhao Yun's face.

Although, the strength of the alliance is quite strong.

But even an alliance is only strong in a regional sense.

If we leave that area, it will be a question whether other cultivators will know about it.

"Yes, we are members of the Alliance." Luo Chen replied. He noticed the confusion on Zhao Yun's face and added, "The Alliance is an organization in the world of immortal cultivation composed of multiple sects and independent cultivators. It aims to maintain the order and security of the world of immortal cultivation."

Zhao Yun nodded, seemingly satisfied with this explanation, but he asked another question: "So, fellow Daoist Luo Chen, do you know some news that has been circulating in the world of immortal cultivation recently?"

"News?" Qing Shuang interrupted curiously, "We have been exploring in the secret realm and don't know anything about the outside world."

"Rumor has it that the Blood Ghost Sect, which had disappeared for thousands of years, suddenly reappeared recently." Zhao Yun said mysteriously.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and a hint of shock flashed through their hearts.

The Blood Ghost Sect, an evil sect that has left countless bloody legends in the history of the immortal cultivation world, has reappeared. This is undoubtedly disturbing news.

"Blood Demon Sect..." Luo Chen pondered, his brows furrowed, "Why did they suddenly appear?"

Zhao Yun shook his head, a worried look on his face. "The specific reason is still unclear, but there are rumors that they are looking for some powerful force, and they are not afraid to stir up a new bloody storm for it."

Qing Shuang clenched the sword in her hand, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "No matter what they plan, we cultivators must unite and stop them."

Luo Chen nodded and agreed: "Fellow Daoist Zhao Yun, thank you for telling us this news. After we return to the alliance, we will report this matter and let the alliance prepare."

Zhao Yun nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist Luochen, Fellow Daoist Qingshuang, your courage is admirable. I hope our Xiuxian world can safely survive this crisis."

After bidding farewell to Zhao Yun and other cultivators, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued on their journey back to the alliance headquarters.

Their mood was much heavier than before. The emergence of the Blood Vampire Sect undoubtedly cast a shadow on their future.

"Luo Chen, what do you think we should do?" Qingshuang asked as they walked.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied: "First, we need to tell the top leaders of the alliance about this news so that they can realize the seriousness of the problem. Secondly, we need to strengthen our own training and improve our strength so that we can protect ourselves and others in possible conflicts."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that what Luo Chen said were all urgent matters.

They continued to move forward, crossing barren deserts and turbulent rivers.

During their journey, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also met some independent cultivators and disciples from small sects. They told these people the news about the Blood Ghost Sect, hoping that the news could spread throughout the cultivation world as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
