Chapter 767: Blade of Time! Seal!
Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.
They continued to move forward, Tianxincao exuding a soft light in Luo Chen's hands, as if comforting their hearts.
After several days of trekking, they finally returned to the place where they met the ancient god general.
Now they have brought the Tianxin grass that the ancient gods needed.
Before, the ancient god general once said.
If they bring Tianxincao, they will be given a treasure.
I just don’t know what this treasure is.

The ancient god general's figure was like a towering mountain. His gaze penetrated time and space and landed on Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling.
The three of them stood in front of him, holding the Tianxincao that exuded soft light in their hands.
"You are back." The voice of the ancient god general was like an ancient echo, low and full of power.
Luo Chen took a step forward and presented the Tianxin Cao respectfully, "We have completed the task. This is the Tianxin Cao you need."
The Ancient God General took the Tianxin Grass, with a flash of approval in his eyes, "You have done a good job. The power of Tianxin Grass will help me complete an important ritual. In return, I will give you a treasure."
He turned and walked towards a huge stone platform with various strange artifacts placed on it.
The ancient god general reached out and picked up a simple box. The box was carved with complex patterns, which seemed to contain some mysterious power.
"There is an ancient treasure sealed in this box." The ancient god general said slowly, "It is called the 'Blade of Time'. When it is wielded, it seems to be able to break through time. It is extremely powerful, but remember, Its power is a double-edged sword and must be used with caution.”
Luochen took the box and felt the fluctuations coming from the box, as if there were countless voices whispering.
"We will use it carefully," he promised.
The ancient god general nodded, his gaze seemed to penetrate Luo Chen's soul, examining his heart.
The "Blade of Time" is not just a weapon, it also carries an ancient history and power. Its existence may be a revolution for the entire continent.
Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling took the box and left the residence of the ancient god general. They knew that the rest of the journey would no longer be peaceful.
The legend of the Blade of Time has been circulating on the continent for countless centuries. Countless practitioners and greedy people have tried to find it, but all have failed.
Now, it is in their hands, which will undoubtedly attract countless covets and challenges.
"We have to find a safe place and study this box first." Qingshuang suggested. She knew that if it was used rashly without understanding the Blade of Time, it could have disastrous consequences.
Both Luochen and Hongling agreed with Qingshuang's suggestion.
They decided to go to Qingshuang's hometown, where there was an ancient library with a rich collection of books, and they might be able to find clues about the Blade of Time.
On the way to Qingshuang's hometown, the three of them took turns guarding the box. They knew that the power sealed in this box was enough to make anyone crazy.
They carefully avoid crowds and choose to travel at night to minimize contact with the outside world.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at Qingshuang's hometown.
This is a quiet town surrounded by mountains, where the people live a simple and peaceful life.
Qingshuang's family has guarded the library for generations. It is located in the center of the town. It is an ancient stone building full of traces of history.
The director of the library is Qingshuang's uncle, a knowledgeable old man.
He was a little surprised to see Qing Shuang coming back with Luo Chen and Hong Ling, but when Qing Shuang explained the whole story to him, a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
"The Blade of Time..." the curator pondered, "This is indeed a dangerous and powerful treasure. I have read about it in ancient books. It is said that it can cut time and even reverse life and death, but using it People must have a strong willpower and a pure heart, otherwise they will be easily swallowed by its power."
After hearing this, Luo Chen and Hong Ling felt heavy in their hearts.
They know that this is not only a test of strength, but also a challenge of self-control and moral choice.
In the following days, Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling began to search for information about the Blade of Time in the library.
They flipped through countless ancient books and finally found a key record in a yellowed book.
"The Blade of Time was forged by the ancient God of Time. It contains the mystery of time and can cut the streamline of time, but those who use it must pay a corresponding price." The records in the book made the three people My heart was in my throat.
"What price?" Hongling asked nervously.
"There is no specific explanation in the book, but it mentions the 'price of time'." Qingshuang answered with a frown.
They decided to continue their research in the hope of finding more secrets about the Blade of Time.
Deep in the library, they discover a hidden room filled with strange instruments and scrolls.
These items seem to have some connection to the Blades of Time.
Luochen carefully picked up an ancient scroll with complex patterns and symbols painted on it.
He tried to decipher the symbols, but they didn't seem to belong to any known language.
"These symbols..." Qingshuang suddenly said, "I have heard in an ancient legend that they are the language of time, and only those who truly understand the nature of time can interpret it."
Luo Chen and Hong Ling both looked at Qing Shuang. They knew that if anyone could decipher these symbols, it would be Qing Shuang.
Qingshuang began to study these symbols with concentration, trying to find the connection between them and the Blade of Time.
Day after day, she hardly slept, her eyes were bloodshot, but she did not give up.
Finally, late one night, Qingshuang let out an exclamation.
Luochen and Hongling immediately gathered around and saw Qingshuang holding a recently completed translation manuscript in her hand.
"I understand..." Qingshuang's voice was trembling, "The power of the Blade of Time does come at the cost of the user's life. Every time it is used, the user's vitality will be consumed until the life is exhausted. ”
After hearing this, Luo Chen and Hong Ling were filled with shock and worry.
They know that although the Blade of Time is powerful, its price is too heavy.
"Then what should we do?" Hong Ling asked, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.
Luochen was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "We cannot let the Blade of Time fall into the wrong hands. If it really requires life as a price, then we can only seal it."
Qingshuang and Hongling both nodded, knowing that Luo Chen was right.
They decided to seal the Blade of Time to prevent it from bringing disaster to the world again.
In the deepest part of the library, they found an ancient sealing circle, which could completely seal the power of the Blade of Time.
Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling activated the magic circle together. They placed the box in the center of the magic circle and then recited the sealing spell.
As the spell was completed, the box began to glow dazzlingly, and a powerful force surged out of the box, interacting with the power of the magic circle.
Eventually, the light gradually dissipated, the box was completely sealed, and the power of the Blade of Time was safely locked within the circle.
Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling looked at the sealed box and felt relieved.
They knew they had done the right thing.
"Successful." Luo Chen said, his voice full of determination.
"Yes, it worked." Qingshuang and Hongling responded, with relieved smiles on their faces.
They decided to keep this secret forever and not let anyone know about the existence of the Blade of Time.
They know that some forces are too powerful and should not be released so easily.
After that, Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling also left this place.
The Blade of Time has been sealed.
Naturally it was time for them to leave.
A practitioner spends his entire life practicing.
How can you stand still somewhere?
...
Soon, it was a few days later.
After leaving Qingshuang's hometown, Luo Chen and Qingshuang returned to the extremely lively market where a large number of cultivators gathered.
As for Hongling...
Where she went, Luo Chen really didn't know.
"Sure enough, staying here is the most comfortable..."
After arriving at a courtyard where he was staying, Luo Chen couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and said this with a rather comfortable expression.
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, Qingshuang chuckled, and a trace of teasing flashed in her eyes: "You are always so easy-going."
"What's wrong with just taking things as they come?" Luo Chen asked, while packing his luggage.
Qingshuang shook her head and didn't answer. She just walked to the window and looked at the bustling crowd outside.
In her mind, she was thinking about the Blade of Time.
Although it has been sealed, the temptation and danger of that power are still lingering in her heart.
"Are you still thinking about that knife?" Luo Chen's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Qingshuang turned around, looked at Luo Chen, and nodded: "Yes, that power is so terrifying. I always feel that it is not really sealed."
"Don't think too much, we have tried our best." Luo Chen walked to her and patted her shoulder gently.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, feeling a little surprised. In this strange city, they didn't have many acquaintances.
Luo Chen walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a woman in red, it was Hong Ling.
"Hongling, why are you here?" Qingshuang asked in surprise.
Hongling smiled slightly, walked into the room, and looked around: "I came to see you. After all, we have experienced so much together."
Luochen closed the door, and the three of them sat around the table and started talking about what happened after the farewell.
Hong Ling told them that after she left, she went to an ancient ruins to find a way to improve her cultivation.
"There are indeed some gains there, but they are nothing compared to the Blade of Time." Hongling sighed, "I always feel that we have not fully uncovered the secret of that knife."
After hearing this, Qing Shuang and Luo Chen fell into deep thought. They knew that Hongling's words made sense.
The power of the Blade of Time is too mysterious, and what they know may only be the tip of the iceberg.
"No matter what, we have tried our best." Luo Chen emphasized again, "At least now, it is sealed, and we don't have to worry anymore."
"I hope so." Hong Ling nodded, but there was still a trace of worry in her expression.
In the following days, the three decided to stay in the market for a while, practicing while paying attention to any news about the Blade of Time.
They knew that the secret of this knife would not end here, and one day it would appear in their lives again.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to look for a suitable place to practice in the market, while Hong Ling often went out alone, as if looking for something.
One day, Luo Chen found a small stall in a corner of the market. The stall owner was a white-haired old man who was selling some ancient books and magic tools.
Luo Chen curiously flipped through the ancient books, and suddenly he found a tattered book with "The Mystery of Time" written on the cover.
He immediately bought the book and took it back to his residence.
Qing Shuang and Hong Ling were very surprised to see the book.
"Where did you find this book?" Qing Shuang asked eagerly.
Luo Chen told them what happened, and the three of them immediately sat down and began to flip through the book.
The contents of the book opened their eyes. There were not only detailed records about the Blade of Time, but also some profound theories about the laws of time.
The three of them read and discussed at the same time. Before they knew it, the sky had darkened.
"It seems that the secret of the Blade of Time is far more complicated than we imagined." Luo Chen closed the book and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, we need more knowledge and more preparation." Qingshuang nodded in agreement.
Hongling remained silent, with a firm light flashing in her eyes.
She knew that she had to become stronger to face the challenges that might arise in the future.
From that day on, the three began to practice harder. They knew that only by constantly improving themselves could they have enough strength to deal with unknown dangers in the future.
......
In a blink of an eye, it was several months later.
Since becoming a practitioner, time has always passed quickly.
It's like sand slipping through the fingertips.
If you are not careful, it will be several months later.
Even, let alone several months.
After a period of retreat, it may be several years later.
"Luo Chen, how do you feel? Have you improved your strength after several months of retreat?"
Qingshuang's voice sounded beside Luo Chen's ears, with a hint of concern and expectation.
Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a deep light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see through all the falsehoods in the world.
He exhaled lightly, and that breath seemed to contain the essence of heaven and earth, which made the air around him tremble.
"After several months of retreat, I feel that my understanding of the power of heaven and earth has deepened." Luo Chen's voice was calm and powerful, "Although I haven't been able to break through to the next level, my foundation is more solid, and my control of magic is more handy."
