Chapter 765 Ancient God General, Looking for Tianxin Grass?
Isn't this the clue they have been looking for?
"It seems we have to go to Black Wind Ridge to have a look." Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang.
"Well, but we have to be careful. This kind of news spreads quickly. There must be a lot of people there." Qing Shuang responded cautiously.
After dinner, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to prepare to go to Black Wind Ridge.
They bought some necessities, found out the route to Black Wind Ridge, and then embarked on a new journey.
Black Wind Ridge is located in the northwest of Fangshi. The distance is not far, but the road is extremely rugged.

Along the way, they met many immortal cultivators who were also going to Black Wind Ridge. Some were acting alone, and some were traveling together.
"Are you also going to Black Wind Ridge?" A cultivator who looked quite young took the initiative to talk.
"Yes, I heard that there are ruins there." Luo Chen replied.
"That's right, but it's not so easy to enter the ruins. It is said that there are many traps inside, and there are many guardian beasts." said the young cultivator.
"Thank you for the reminder, we will be careful." Qingshuang responded politely.
After several days of trekking, Luo Chen and Qingshuang finally arrived at Black Wind Ridge.
The mountains here are steep, the ancient trees are towering, and a cold breath permeates the air.
They walked along a path and soon saw the legendary ruins.
Many cultivators have gathered at the entrance of the ruins, and they are discussing something in groups of three or five.
Luo Chen and Qingshuang also joined the crowd, trying to get more information from their conversation.
"I heard that there is an ancient artifact in the ruins. Whoever can get it will be greatly strengthened."
"Don't dream, how can that artifact be so easy to get? There are many dangers inside, so we should be careful."
Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, they knew that this adventure had just begun.
They decided not to rush into the ruins, but to carefully observe the surrounding environment and look for possible clues.
At this moment, a woman in red came up to them.
"Are you also here to look for artifacts?" the woman in red asked.
"We are just here to take a look and learn something new." Luo Chen replied.
"My name is Hong Ling, and I am a disciple of the Hongyun Sect. I see that you two are very skilled, so maybe we can work together." Hong Ling suggested.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang thought about it and thought that it was always good to have an extra helper, so they agreed to Hong Ling's proposal.
The three of them entered the ruins together. The interior of the ruins was dark and damp, and the walls were engraved with ancient runes.
They walked forward carefully, avoiding many traps along the way.
"The traps here are really cleverly arranged. It seems that the designer must be a master." Luo Chen exclaimed.
"Yes, but we still have to be careful. Maybe there are more powerful traps waiting for us." Qing Shuang reminded.
They continued to go deeper into the ruins and finally came to a huge stone gate.
There were some strange patterns engraved on the stone gate, which seemed to hide some secrets.
"These patterns look like some kind of formation." Hong Ling said after careful observation.
"Can you crack it?" Luo Chen asked.
"I'll try." Hong Ling said, and began to try to crack the formation.
After some effort, Hong Ling finally succeeded in unlocking the formation, and the stone door slowly opened.
Behind the door was a spacious hall, with a huge sarcophagus in the center of the hall.
"Could this be the legendary artifact?" Qing Shuang asked curiously.
"Let's be careful and don't act rashly." Luo Chen reminded.
The three approached the sarcophagus carefully. Suddenly, the lid of the sarcophagus moved slowly, and a powerful force burst out from it.
"Quickly retreat!" Luo Chen shouted, and the three retreated quickly.
A figure slowly rose from the sarcophagus. It was a man wearing ancient armor, his eyes were closed, and he exuded a powerful aura.
"This is..." Luo Chen was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
"Could this be the legendary ancient god general?" Hong Ling exclaimed.
The Ancient God slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes swept over Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Who are you? Why did you disturb my sleep?" The Ancient God's voice was low and powerful.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew that the next conversation would determine their fate.
"We are cultivators who accidentally broke in, we didn't know that someone was sleeping here." Luo Chen answered respectfully.
The Ancient God was silent for a while, then slowly said: "In this case, I will not hold you responsible, but you must agree to one condition of mine."
"What condition?" Qing Shuang asked.
"I want you to help me complete a task, and I will give you a treasure after you complete it." The Ancient God said.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew that this could be an opportunity for them, or it could be the beginning of danger.
"We are willing to accept your conditions." Luo Chen answered firmly.
The Ancient God nodded, and then began to talk about the content of the task.
It turned out that he needed them to find a rare spiritual herb called "Tianxin Grass". This spiritual herb grew in extremely dangerous places and could only be obtained by true heroes.
"Tianxin Grass?" Qingshuang frowned. She knew how precious and rare this spiritual herb was, and she also knew how difficult it was to find it.
"Yes, Tianxin grass." There was a trace of undoubted majesty in the voice of the ancient god general, "It grows in the land of Jiuyou, which is the paradise of the dead. It is full of all kinds of dangers. Only those with a firm mind and extraordinary strength can Only then can one get there and come back alive.”
Luochen and Qingshuang exchanged a look. They knew that this was a test and an opportunity.
If you can complete the mission, you will not only be able to obtain the treasures of the ancient god generals, but you will also become famous in the world of immortality.
"We accept this mission." Luo Chen replied firmly again, his voice revealing unquestionable determination.
The ancient god general nodded, and a hint of approval seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Very good, then go ahead and remember that the place where Tianxin Grass grows has a powerful guardian. You must be careful."
The three people left the ruins and began to prepare for heading to the Nine Netherlands.
They knew it would be a long and dangerous journey.
"We have to find detailed information about Jiuyou Land first." Luo Chen said after leaving the ruins.
"I have heard of the Nine Netherlands. It is said that it is shrouded in darkness all year round, and only a handful of immortal cultivators have ever been there." Hong Ling added.
They began to look for immortal cultivators near Black Wind Ridge who could provide information.
After some inquiring, they learned about a man named "Old Netherworld". It was said that he had traveled to Jiuyou Land and had some knowledge of the situation there.
Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling found the residence of Old Man Netherworld, which was a quiet valley shrouded in thick fog.
The Nether Old Man looks very old, but his eyes are extremely sharp.
"Are you here to inquire about the land of Jiuyou?" Old Man Nether's voice was hoarse and low.
"Yes, senior, we hope to know something about the Jiuyou Land." Luo Chen said respectfully.
The old man Netherworld was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Nine Netherlands, that is a place where even the soul can be lost. If you really want to go, you must be fully prepared. Not only are there powerful guardians there, but also All kinds of strange creatures will fall into irreversible situations if they are not careful. "
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened carefully, knowing that Old Man Netherworld's words were full of warnings and reminders.
"We understand, senior, we will be fully prepared." Qingshuang said firmly.
The Nether Old Man nodded, and then took out a yellowed map from his arms.
"This is a map I drew when I traveled to the Nine Netherlands. Although it is quite old, it should be helpful to you."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the map and gratefully thanked Old Man Netherworld.
They knew that with this map, their mission would be much smoother.
After being fully prepared, Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling embarked on the journey to the Jiuyou Land.
Following the guidance of the map, they passed through stretches of barren land and crossed countless steep peaks.
"This is the entrance to the Nine Netherlands." Luo Chen said, pointing to an area shrouded in darkness in front of him.
"Are we really going in?" Hong Ling's voice contained a hint of hesitation.
"We have no retreat." Qingshuang said firmly, "In order to complete the mission and obtain the treasures of the ancient gods, we must move forward."
The three of them took a deep breath, and then stepped into the Nine Netherlands together.
Darkness immediately surrounded them, and a suffocating cold atmosphere filled the air around them.
They moved forward cautiously, always alert to possible dangers around them.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from behind. Luo Chen turned around quickly and saw a vague figure rushing towards them.
"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted, and at the same time he drew his sword and fought with the figure.
Qingshuang and Hongling also reacted quickly and each took out their weapons to prepare for possible attacks.
The figure loomed in the darkness and moved quickly. It seemed that it was not easy to deal with.
"What the hell is this?" Hong Ling asked while waving her sword.
"It may be one of the guardians of the Nine Netherlands. Be careful of its attacks. They are usually highly poisonous." Luo Chen replied, while his sword skills became more fierce, trying to find the opponent's flaws.
Qingshuang tried to use magic to assist Luo Chen, shooting ice arrows at the figure, trying to slow it down.
However, the figure seemed to have natural resistance to ice arrows. It just delayed for a moment and then continued to attack.
"This thing is not simple. We have to find a way to get around it." Luo Chen suggested.
The three of them fought while retreating slowly, trying to find a safe path.
At this moment, Hong Ling suddenly discovered a path. Although it was narrow, it seemed to be able to avoid the attack range of the figure.
"This way!" Hong Ling shouted, then took the lead and rushed towards the path.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed closely behind. The three of them quickly passed the path and finally got rid of the pursuit of the mysterious figure.
They stopped to take a breath, looked around, and found that this seemed to be a relatively safe area.
"We have to be careful. The land of Jiuyou is full of dangers. That was just the beginning." Luo Chen reminded.
Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was telling the truth.
They moved on, this time more cautiously, ever ready for any threat that might arise.
After a period of exploration, they came to a barren plain, where the land was dry and cracked, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.
Suddenly, a piercing scream came from a distance, and the three immediately became alert.
"What's that sound?" Hongling asked nervously.
"It may be a warning sound from some creature. We have to be careful." Luo Chen replied, while his eyes searched around for the source of the sound.
Just then, a group of black shadows approached rapidly from a distance. They were strange in shape, like a mixture of bats and birds, but much larger in size.
The eyes of these creatures flashed red in the dark, and they looked extremely fierce.
"It's the Nine Nether Bats!" Qingshuang exclaimed.
Luo Chen quickly drew his sword and prepared to fight. Qingshuang and Hongling also prepared their spells and weapons.
The group of Nine Nether Bats quickly surrounded them, making sharp calls, as if provoking.
"Don't let them get close, their claws and teeth are highly poisonous." Luo Chen warned.
The three stood back to back in a circle and began to resist the attack of the bats.
Luo Chen's swordsmanship was sharp, and every sword hit the target accurately.
Qingshuang used magic to create an ice wall to try to block the attack of the bats.
Hongling used her long whip to flexibly whip the bats that tried to get close.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the bats seemed endless, constantly pouring out of the darkness.
Although Luo Chen and the other two fought hard, they gradually felt exhausted.
"This is not a solution. We must find their nests and catch them all." Luo Chen panted.
Qingshuang and Hongling nodded in agreement. They knew this was the only way.
So the three began to fight and look for the nest of the bats.
After some effort, they finally found a hidden cave where the bats gathered.
"This is it. We have to be careful. There may be more bats inside." Luo Chen whispered.
They entered the cave carefully. The air inside was more polluted and the calls of the bats were more shrill.
The three of them held their weapons tightly and went deeper into the cave step by step.
Deep in the cave, they found a huge nest, which was densely packed with Nine Nether Bats.
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling looked at each other and knew that they had to fight quickly.
"I will attract their attention, and you take the opportunity to attack the nest." Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang and Hong Ling nodded. They knew that although Luo Chen's plan was dangerous, it was the only way.
Luo Chen rushed towards the group of bats, waving his sword, trying to attract all their attention to himself.
Qing Shuang and Hong Ling took the opportunity to launch a powerful spell, and a series of fireballs and ice arrows shot at the bat nest.
The nest began to collapse under the fierce attack, and the group of bats fell into chaos.
