Chapter 773 Netherworld Valley?

They decided to take a short rest and then continue their journey of cultivating immortals.

After resting, Luochen and the others decided to go to the Library Pavilion of Tianji Pavilion, where countless ancient books and secret techniques were collected, which might provide them with new inspiration for cultivation.

In the library pavilion, there are many bookshelves and ancient books piled up like mountains. Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling each selected some books that they were interested in and started to read them. They are immersed in the ocean of knowledge and constantly absorb the wisdom of their predecessors.

Just as they were concentrating on reading, a familiar voice sounded behind them: "You three, this retreat seems to be working well."

The three of them turned around and saw that it was Elder Xuanjizi. They quickly stood up and saluted.

"Thank you, elder, for your concern. We have indeed gained something." Luo Chen replied respectfully.

Xuan Jizi smiled and nodded, and then said: "I can see all your efforts, but the path to immortality is not only about retreat, it also requires experience and actual combat. I have a task here that may be helpful to you. "

After hearing this, Luo Chen and the others' eyes shone with anticipation.

They knew that the task assigned to them by Elder Xuanjizi would not be simple, but it was also an excellent opportunity for them to improve their cultivation and test their own strength.

"Elder, please make it clear." Qingshuang said seriously.

Xuanjizi took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Chen, "This is a mission to the Netherworld Valley. There have been some abnormal situations in the Netherworld Valley recently, and you need to go and investigate."

Luo Chen took the scroll and unfolded it. He saw that it recorded the geographical location of Netherworld Valley and some known situations in detail.

He nodded, indicating that he understood the content of the task.

"Get ready and set off early tomorrow morning." After Xuanjizi said that, he turned and left the library.

Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling looked at each other and smiled. They knew that a new adventure was about to begin.

They regarded this mission as a rare opportunity to gain experience and decided to go all out.

Early the next morning, Luochen and the others packed their bags and embarked on a journey to Netherworld Valley.

They know that what awaits them ahead will be unknown challenges and opportunities.

But no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will work together because they believe that as long as they are united, nothing is impossible.

On the way to Netherworld Valley, Luochen and the other three exchanged their cultivation experiences with each other while rushing.

Their conversations were light and cheerful, punctuated by laughter.

For them, this journey is not only an experience, but also a spiritual relaxation and pleasure.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of Netherworld Valley.

The Netherworld Valley is located in a desolate mountain range. The mouth of the valley is shrouded in a layer of light fog all year round, making the entire valley look eerie and mysterious.

The three of them, Luochen, stood at the entrance of the valley, looked at each other, and then stepped firmly into the Netherworld Valley.

They know that from this moment on, they will face unknown challenges, but they also believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.

In the Netherworld Valley, there was a gloomy wind, and some strange sounds came from time to time.

The three of Luochen moved forward cautiously, keeping vigilance at all times.

They knew that in a place like this, any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

Not long after they entered the valley, suddenly, a strong wind blew from the front, mixed with countless ghosts.

The three of Luochen immediately put into fighting stance, preparing to deal with this sudden attack.

"Be careful, these ghosts seem to be condensed from Yin Qi and are very dangerous." Qingshuang reminded.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes as sharp as a sword scanning the surrounding environment.

Hong Ling held the hilt of her sword tightly, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, as if looking for the best opportunity to attack.

Qingshuang closed his eyes. His spiritual sense became extremely sharp at this moment, trying to sense the ghosts hidden in the wind.

"We have to find the source of these ghosts." Luo Chen said in a deep voice, his voice appearing particularly firm in the cold wind.

Hongling nodded slightly. Although her swordsmanship was agile, she also felt a little nervous in this environment.

She knew that these ghosts were not ordinary ghosts. Their power far exceeded ordinary evil things.

Qingshuang opened his eyes, and there was a deep light in his eyes.

"I feel it. They seem to be coming from deep in the valley. We have to move forward carefully."

The three of them moved forward slowly, taking every step with extreme caution.

The dark wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of ghosts is also increasing. They seem to be trying to block Luochen's progress.

"These guys don't seem to want us to go deep into the valley." Hongling said with a frown.

“That further shows that we are on the right track.

Luo Chen replied, a firm light flashed in his eyes.

As they continued forward, the attacks from the ghosts became more and more violent.

Luo Chen waved the Silver Moon Ice Blade, and every time he waved it, cold air flowed out, freezing the approaching ghosts into ice cubes.

Hong Ling's swordsmanship is like a dance, agile and deadly. Every sword hit the ghost's vitals accurately.

Qingshuang used the secret technique of Tianji Lock to build defensive barriers to resist the invasion of dark winds and ghosts.

After a fierce battle, they finally came to an open area.

The Yin Qi here is stronger and the ghosts are denser.

In front of them, a huge stone door appeared. The stone door was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a faint light.

"It seems that this is the secret of the Nether Valley." Luo Chen stared at the stone door and said.

Hong Ling and Qing Shuang also nodded. They knew that the next challenge would be more severe.

"We have to find a way to open this door." Qing Shuang said, his eyes fell on the runes on the stone door.

Luo Chen walked forward and observed the runes carefully.

He found that these runes seemed to have some connection with the Silver Moon Ice Blade Secret Art.

He tried to inject his spiritual energy into the runes, and the runes began to glow slightly, and the stone door slowly opened.

"It seems that your Silver Moon Ice Blade Secret Art has an inextricable relationship with the runes here." Hong Ling said in surprise.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Maybe this is God's will, allowing us to enter here."

The three of them walked into the stone door carefully, and there was a huge cave inside.

In the center of the cave, there was a huge pool, which emitted a faint blue light, and it seemed that something was sleeping in it.

"There seems to be something in this pool." Qingshuang said vigilantly.

Luochen and Hongling also noticed the abnormality in the pool. They slowly approached and tried to see the situation in the pool clearly.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the pool, and a huge figure slowly rose from the water.

It was a huge ghost, its body was translucent, and it exuded a strong Yin Qi.

"Be careful, the power of this ghost is extraordinary." Luochen warned.

The ghost let out a low roar, and its eyes flashed with anger.

It stretched out its hand, and a strong Yin wind attacked Luochen and the others.

The three responded immediately. Luochen waved the Silver Moon Ice Blade, Hongling danced with her sword, and Qingshuang released the Tianji Lock Secret Technique to try to lock the ghost's actions.

The power of the ghost seemed to be stronger than they expected. Although Luochen's Silver Moon Ice Blade could freeze the Yin wind, every attack was like fighting against an iceberg.

Although Hongling's swordsmanship was agile, facing the huge body of the ghost, her attack seemed insignificant.

Although Qingshuang's Tianji Lock Secret Technique can temporarily restrict the ghost's movements, the ghost's power seems to be able to easily break free from the restraints.

"We must find its weakness!" Luo Chen shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the cave.

Hongling nodded, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "I will attract its attention, and you will find an opportunity to attack!"

After that, Hongling's figure flashed, like a red lightning, rushing straight towards the ghost.

Her swordsmanship became more wild, and each sword came with the sound of breaking through the air, trying to anger the ghost and make it reveal its flaws.

The ghost was indeed angered by Hongling's attack. It let out a deafening roar, and its huge palm waved, bringing up gusts of gloomy wind.

Although Hongling was flexible, she seemed so small in front of this power.

Luochen and Qingshuang did not hesitate at all, they knew this was the only chance.

Luochen's Silver Moon Ice Blade swung out again. This time, he injected all his spiritual energy into the blade, and the ice blade emitted a dazzling light, as if it could freeze everything.

Qingshuang concentrated his mind, and his secret technique of locking the secrets of the heavens reached its peak at this moment. Chains emerged from the void and tightly wrapped around the ghost.

The ghost's movements became obviously slower, and it struggled angrily, but the chains became tighter and tighter.

Luochen saw the right moment, and the silver moon ice blade pierced the ghost's heart like a meteor that cut through the night sky.

Just as the ice blade was about to touch the ghost, a powerful yin energy suddenly burst out from the ghost's body, knocking Luochen and Qingshuang away.

Seeing this, Hongling immediately flew up and caught Luochen, while Qingshuang stabilized his body when he landed.

"Its power is too strong, we have to find another way." Luochen said panting.

The three took a few steps back and re-examined the ghost.

They knew that pure physical attacks had limited effects on ghosts, and they had to find its origin.

"Perhaps, we should start from this pool." Qingshuang pondered, "The blue light in this pool seems to have some connection with the ghost."

Luo Chen and Hong Ling looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

But at this time, they had no better choice.

So, the three decided to try to destroy the pool to see if they could weaken the power of the ghost.

They approached the pool again. This time, they did not attack the ghost directly, but focused on the blue light in the pool.

Luo Chen tried to freeze the pool with the cold air of the Silver Moon Ice Blade, while Hong Ling used sword energy to stir the water in the pool.

Qingshuang used the Tianji Lock Secret Technique again. This time, he wrapped the other end of the chain around the edge of the pool, trying to block the entire pool.

With their efforts, the blue light in the pool began to dim, and the ghost seemed to feel threatened. It roared more angrily, trying to stop their actions.

But Luo Chen and the others did not retreat. They knew this was their only chance.

With their combined efforts, the blue light in the pool finally disappeared completely, and the ghost's body began to become transparent, and its power gradually dissipated.

Finally, with an unwilling roar, the ghost completely dissipated into the air.

The moment the ghost dissipated, everyone in the cave seemed to be relieved.

Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang smiled at each other. Although they were tired, there was a light of victory in their eyes.

"We did it." Hong Ling's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief.

"Yes, we did it." Luo Chen responded, his eyes turned to Qing Shuang, "Without your Tianji Lock Secret Technique, we would not have found a solution so quickly."

Qing Shuang smiled slightly and shook his head, "Without your courage and persistence, I would not have been able to exert the maximum power of the secret technique."

The three walked slowly towards the pool, which had now returned to calm, the blue light disappeared, and only the clear water surface remained.

Luo Chen squatted down, reached out to touch the water surface, and felt the flow of spiritual energy in it.

"This seems to be an energy node." Luo Chen pondered, "The power of the ghost is drawn from here."

Hong Ling nodded, "So, what should we do next?"

"We need to seal this node completely to prevent similar existences from appearing in the future." Qing Shuang suggested.

Luo Chen stood up, looked around, and then took out an ancient jade talisman from his arms.

"This jade talisman is what I got from my master. It is said that it can be used to seal unstable energy nodes."

Hong Ling and Qing Shuang both nodded in agreement.

Luo Chen placed the jade talisman in the center of the pool and began to chant the ancient spell.

As the spell progressed, the jade talisman began to emit a soft light, which gradually spread and covered the entire pool.

"Seal!"

Luo Chen shouted, and the jade talisman shone brightly. Complex runes flew out of the jade talisman and merged into the pool.

The water in the pool began to rotate, forming a vortex, and finally a small black hole appeared in the center of the vortex, sucking all the energy into it.

When the last trace of energy was sucked into the black hole, the black hole slowly disappeared, and the light of the jade talisman gradually dimmed.

Luo Chen picked up the jade talisman and found that it had become dim.

"It seems that the seal has been successful." Luo Chen said.

Hongling and Qingshuang both breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that although this adventure was full of dangers, the final result was worth it.

"We should go back." Luo Chen suggested, "The elders are still waiting for our news."

The three turned around and prepared to leave this cave that was once full of dangers.

However, just as they were about to step out of the cave, the ground suddenly shook.

"What's going on?" Hong Ling asked nervously.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also looked puzzled. They quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the vibration.

"Is there something else?" Qing Shuang's voice was a little uneasy.

The vibration of the ground became stronger and stronger, and debris began to fall from the top of the cave.
