Chapter 1675: Chapter 825: Blood Ghost Sect?
"This place should be safe enough." Luo Chen said as he began to set up some basic defensive magic arrays at the entrance of the cave, just in case.
Qing Shuang began to sort through some items they had brought out from the Secret Realm, including some precious herbs and magic artifacts.
"Luo Chen, look at this." Qing Shuang picked up an ancient jade pendant, carved with runes she had never seen.
Luo Chen took the jade pendant, carefully examined it, and then said, "This jade pendant seems to contain strong power, perhaps left by a powerful Immortal Cultivator."
Qing Shuang nodded, acknowledging Luo Chen’s deeper understanding of ancient artifacts: "Then how do we use it?"
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied, "Let’s not rush to use it. First, we should study the meaning of these runes to avoid triggering something bad."
Qing Shuang agreed with Luo Chen’s suggestion, and the two began to focus on studying the runes on the jade pendant.
Time quietly passed during their study, and before they knew it, night had fallen.
From the woods outside the cave, occasionally came the sound of beasts, but they were all blocked by the array set by Luo Chen.
"Luo Chen, I’m a bit tired." Qing Shuang rubbed her eyes, she had been studying continuously for several hours.
Luo Chen put down the jade pendant and looked at her with concern: "Then let’s rest first and continue tomorrow."
Qing Shuang nodded, found a clean spot, laid down a blanket, and lay down.
Luo Chen also lay beside her, the two relying on each other, feeling each other’s warmth.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the cave, waking the sleeping Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
"Good morning." Qing Shuang smiled at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen returned a warm smile: "Good morning, Qing Shuang. Today we will continue to study the jade pendant, maybe we can discover some useful information."
The two started researching the runes on the jade pendant again, and as time went on, they gradually deciphered some meanings of the runes.
"These runes seem to be related to space." Luo Chen said, his eyes shining with excitement.
Qing Shuang also felt a surge of excitement: "Could it be that this jade pendant can open a space portal to another place?"
Luo Chen nodded: "It’s possible, let’s try."
Following the instructions deciphered from the runes, they began trying to activate the jade pendant.
With the injection of energy, the jade pendant started to emit a soft glow, and a small light gate slowly opened in front of them.
"We did it!" Qing Shuang exclaimed excitedly.
Luo Chen also felt a wave of joy: "It seems our guess was right; this jade pendant can indeed open a space portal."
They cautiously approached the light gate, and through it, they saw a brand new world, with strange plants and buildings, seemingly a completely different place.
"Should we go in and take a look?" Qing Shuang asked, filled with curiosity.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied, "Let’s prepare first; there might be unknown dangers in this space."
The two began to prepare some necessary items and magic artifacts to ensure they could handle various contingencies when entering the new space.
Once everything was ready, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, holding hands, stepped into the light gate together.
A wave of dizziness hit them, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing in a whole new world.
Here, the sky was a peculiar shade of purple, and on the ground grew plants they had never seen before.
"Where... where is this place?" Qing Shuang asked softly, her eyes full of wonder.
Luo Chen looked around and answered, "It seems we’ve entered an unknown space, where everything is different from the world we know."
They began exploring this new space, hoping to find some clues to understand the origin and secrets of this place.
During their exploration, they encountered some strange creatures who seemed curious about the arrival of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang but showed no hostility.
"These creatures... they seem quite friendly." Qing Shuang said, reaching out to gently touch a small creature’s head.
Luo Chen nodded, observing the creatures as well: "Perhaps we can try to communicate with them; maybe they can tell us something about this place."
They tried communicating with these creatures, and although language was a barrier, they found the 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 parallel space to their own world, inhabited by various strange creatures and plants.
"Purple Cloud Realm..." Luo Chen murmured the name, his heart filled with the desire to explore.
Qing Shuang was equally curious about this new world: "Where should we go next?"
Luo Chen smiled and replied, "Let’s continue exploring and see if we can find a way back to our world, while also uncovering the secrets of this world."
The two continued exploring the Purple Cloud Realm and discovered rich resources here, with many precious herbs and minerals, and even some powerful magic artifacts and secret manuals.
"This place is literally a paradise for cultivators." Qing Shuang exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.
Luo Chen nodded, starting to think about how to utilize these resources: "We can collect some useful resources here to bring back to our world; it will greatly benefit our future cultivation."
