Chapter 739 A Greater Opportunity?
Finally, the man in white gave Luochen and the others a precious gift, an ancient book that recorded the secret of Tianling Jade.
This ancient book records in detail the origin, characteristics and how to use Tianling Jade, which is undoubtedly an added advantage for Luochen and the others.
The three of Luochen were extremely grateful. They knew that this gift would not only improve their cultivation but also guide them in the future.
They secretly vowed to cherish this opportunity and practice hard to live up to the expectations of the man in white.
With the departure of the man in white, Luochen and the other two returned to the real world.

They looked at the ancient books in their hands and were filled with longing and expectations for the future.
"Great opportunity, great opportunity. I even feel that this opportunity is stronger than the opportunity in the Nine Dragons Secret Realm."
Luo Chen couldn't help but say this.
Luo Chen's words were full of excitement and emotion. He knew that he, Qing Shuang, and Senior Yun Xi could get help from the guardian of Tianling Jade at this critical moment, and also obtain such a precious ancient book. This was definitely their A major turning point in my spiritual life.
Qingshuang gently touched the cover of the ancient book, and the delicate touch seemed to be transmitted to the depths of her soul through her fingertips.
She looked up at Luo Chen, with a firm light shining in her eyes: "Yes, Luo Chen, we must make good use of this opportunity and not let the expectations of our seniors be disappointed."
Senior Yun Xi looked more calm. She smiled slightly and looked deeply: "Although the opportunity is good, the path of cultivation still needs to be down-to-earth. Although this ancient book is precious, if it cannot be understood and understood, it is just a piece of paper. We need to study it carefully. Only by practicing diligently can you live up to such opportunities.”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. There was no need to say anything to each other. The tacit understanding and trust had been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
In the following days, Luo Chen, seniors Qingshuang and Yun Xi began to study and practice the ancient Tianling Jade books.
They chose a secluded cave as a place of retreat, and all the disturbances in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with them.
About, another month later.
"Luochen, Qingshuang, it's time for us to leave." Senior Yun Xi looked at the vast sky in the distance, with a trace of reluctance but more of determination in his eyes.
"There is still a lot in the outside world waiting for us to explore and conquer. I believe that with our current strength, we will be able to create a world of our own."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang perked up after hearing this. They knew that Senior Yun Xi was right.
They can't hide in this cave all the time to practice. They must go out to face a wider world and more powerful enemies.
...
Huayucheng.
This is the first city Luo Chen and Qing Shuang arrived at after leaving the cave.
The two of them naturally wanted to return to the previous city as soon as possible.
It's just that the distance between Fangshi and Fangshi is too far.
It would take a lot of time for them to return to Fangshi.
"Luochen, let's go eat something first? I just saw that there seemed to be a sesame seed seller over there. I haven't eaten this for a long time and I want to try it..."
There was a hint of nostalgia and expectation in Qing Shuang's words. She gently tugged on Luo Chen's sleeves, her eyes shining with yearning for ordinary life.
Hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. He smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked together in the direction pointed by Qing Shuang.
Huayu City is a prosperous city on this continent, with criss-crossing streets, numerous shops, and bustling crowds.
The aroma of various delicacies is overflowing, attracting passers-by to stop and taste.
Luochen and Qingshuang shuttled among the crowd, feeling the long-lost excitement and hustle and bustle, and their hearts were filled with expectations for the unknown journey.
They came to a seemingly inconspicuous stall. The stall owner was an amiable old man who was busy baking golden sesame cakes.
The alluring fragrance made Qing Shuang swallow her saliva. She took Luo Chen's hand, pointed at the sesame cake excitedly and said, "Luo Chen, look, that's the one!"
Luochen smiled and nodded, took out a few coins from his arms and handed them to the old man, and bought two sesame cakes.
The two of them sat on the stone steps nearby, eating and chatting, enjoying this rare quiet time.
The crispiness and warmth of the sesame seed cakes seemed to dispel the fatigue and loneliness during their journey, giving them a moment of peace of mind.
"Luochen, what do you think of Huayu City?" Qing Shuang took a bite of the sesame seed cake and asked vaguely.
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation, as if she was full of yearning for the adventure to come.
Luochen looked up at the vast sky in the distance, his heart filled with uncertainty and longing.
He shook his head slightly and said, "It's not bad..."
"By the way, why do you ask so suddenly?"
Qingshuang thought for a while and then replied: "No, I just think it's a little strange. The people on the street didn't know what they were doing, but they all hurried towards the center of the city."
Luo Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. He followed Qing Shuang's line of sight and saw the pedestrians walking in a hurry on the street, with anxious and expectant looks on their faces.
He secretly thought to himself, could it be that something big happened in Huayu City?
"How about we go take a look too?" Qingshuang suggested, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, obviously very interested in this sudden excitement.
Luo Chen nodded. The two of them had planned to stay in Huayu City for a while. Now that there was something exciting to see, they naturally couldn't miss it.
So, they quickened their pace and followed the crowd to the center of the city.
As they gradually approached the center of the city, a strong spiritual power fluctuation began to permeate the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Luo Chen was secretly surprised. This spiritual power fluctuation was so strong that even he might not be able to reach it.
When they finally arrived at the center of the city, the scene in front of them surprised them.
A huge arena stood in the center of the square. A spiritual stone emitting a faint light was suspended above the arena. The spiritual power contained in the spiritual stone was so strong that it almost overflowed from the body.
"This is... a battle for spiritual stones!" Luo Chen said in surprise. He had read about the battle for spiritual stones in ancient books. This is an ancient and cruel way of practicing. By competing for the spiritual power in the spiritual stone, one can improve one's cultivation.
Qing Shuang was also shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that she would actually witness such a scene with her own eyes.
She looked at Luo Chen, her eyes flashing with a questioning light: "Should we participate?"
Luo Chen pondered for a moment. He knew that participating in the battle for the spirit stone meant facing countless powerful opponents, and even his life might be in danger.
However, he also understood that this was a rare opportunity. Once they successfully seized the spiritual power in the spirit stone, their cultivation would be greatly improved.
"Since you are here, let's give it a try." Luo Chen finally made up his mind. He looked at Qing Shuang, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.
Qing Shuang nodded when he saw this. The two smiled at each other and then walked towards the ring.
When they came to the ring, they found that many people were queuing up to go on stage.
Among these people, there were both cultivators with profound cultivation and young boys and girls who were just starting out. They all came for the spiritual power in the spirit stone.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also joined the queue, and they quietly waited for the moment when it was their turn.
As time went by, they gradually felt the powerful spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the people around them, which made them more determined.
Finally, it was their turn to go on stage.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood side by side on the ring, facing an opponent with strong cultivation.
They knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but they were fully prepared.
The battle was about to start. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang cooperated tacitly. They used the martial arts and spells they had learned to continuously attack their opponents.
The opponent was not to be outdone, and he also used powerful martial arts and spells to fight back.
The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the light generated by the collision of spiritual power illuminated the ring like daylight.
The audience around watched the battle with bated breath, and they were all shocked by the strength and tacit understanding shown by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
As time went on, the battle gradually entered a white-hot stage.
The tacit cooperation between Luo Chen and Qing Shuang made their offensive more fierce, and the opponent began to seem a little powerless.
Luo Chen's eyes flashed with a resolute light, and he knew that in this battle, there could be no slackness.
He swung the sword in his hand violently, and a sharp sword light instantly cut through the air and rushed straight to the opponent.
Seeing this, the opponent hurriedly used defensive martial arts to try to resist Luo Chen's attack.
However, Luo Chen's sword light easily penetrated the opponent's defense like cutting tofu and went straight to his vital point.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the opponent's body was hit by the sword light, and the whole person instantly flew backwards and fell heavily under the ring.
"Win!" Cheers broke out in the audience, and they were all impressed by Luo Chen's strength.
Qingshuang also showed a happy smile. She looked at Luo Chen, with pride and pride in her eyes.
She knew that Luo Chen's strength had been improved again, which was undoubtedly good news for their next journey.
However, Luo Chen did not relax because of this. He knew that this battle was just the beginning, and the real challenge was still behind.
He put away the sword and looked firmly at the spirit stone suspended in the air.
"Qingshuang, let's go." Luo Chen said softly, he took Qingshuang's hand and prepared to challenge Lingshi.
Qingshuang nodded, she held Luo Chen's hand tightly, and the two stepped onto the center of the ring together, ready to meet the next challenge.
As they approached, the Lingshi suspended in the air began to emit a more intense spiritual power fluctuation.
Luo Chen and Qingshuang could both feel the huge energy contained in this spiritual power fluctuation, which made them more determined to seize the Lingshi.
However, just as they were about to launch an attack, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of them.
"Humph, two juniors want to seize the Lingshi? How ridiculous!" The figure sneered, and his eyes swept towards Luo Chen and Qingshuang as sharp as a knife.
Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of them.
He was wearing a black robe, his face was cold, and he exuded a strong sense of oppression.
"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the middle-aged man. This was definitely an opponent that was not easy to deal with.
"I am the guardian of this city and the referee of this battle for the spirit stone." The middle-aged man said coldly: "You two have low cultivation bases, so you should retreat. This spirit stone is not something you can touch."
Luo Chen frowned slightly when he heard this.
He knew that the middle-aged man's words were not groundless. The cultivation of the two of them could not be compared with those cultivators with high cultivation.
However, he did not give up because of this.
He looked at Qing Shuang, with a firm light in his eyes.
He knew that Qing Shuang, like him, had an indomitable fighting spirit and determination.
"Senior, we know that our cultivation is still shallow, but since we have come here, we will not give up easily." Luo Chen said firmly, "Please give us a chance to let us prove our strength."
The middle-aged man heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He did not expect that these two young people would have such a firm determination and fighting spirit.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I will give you a chance, but you must face the test I set. Only after passing the test, you are qualified to compete for this spiritual stone."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang heard this, and their eyes flashed with excitement.
They knew that this was a rare opportunity and a test of their strength.
"Senior, please teach me!" Luo Chen and Qing Shuang said at the same time. They were ready to meet the upcoming test.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly when he saw this.
He stretched out his palm and waved it gently. A ray of light instantly enveloped Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
When the light faded, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found that they had come to an unfamiliar space.
This space was full of strong spiritual power fluctuations and complex array patterns.
"This is the test space I set up." The middle-aged man's voice echoed in the space, "You must find the way to the exit in this space and defeat the guards along the way. Only after passing these tests, you are qualified to compete for the spiritual stone."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were full of vigilance when they heard this.
They knew that this test space would never be simple, and they had to go all out to pass the test.
They looked around and saw that the surroundings were shrouded by a layer of light mist, and it was difficult to penetrate their vision.
But vaguely, they could see a light flashing in the distance, as if guiding them in the direction they were going.
"Qing Shuang, let's go over there." Luo Chen pointed to the flashing light in the distance and said to Qing Shuang.
Qingshuang nodded, and the two of them moved cautiously in the direction of the light.
As they went deeper, the fog around them seemed to become thicker, and waves of spiritual pressure began to appear.
Luochen and Qingshuang could both feel that these spiritual pressure fluctuations contained a strong threat.
"Be careful, there may be a guardian hidden here." Luochen reminded Qingshuang in a low voice, and at the same time, he tightened his sword in his hand, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.
