Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 1460 - 717: Leaving? No, Can’t Leave! _2

"So what should we do next?" Luo Chen asked.

The old man stood up, walked in front of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, his gaze deep: "What to do? Leave, get away from this swamp, and never return..."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shaken, the old man’s words made them realize that although they had prevented a disaster, the shadow of this battle had not completely dissipated.

"But, we can’t just leave like this." Qing Shuang said firmly, "If the evil forces are awakened again, who will stop them?"

The old man shook his head, a touch of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "The curse of this swamp has existed for too long, you cannot completely eliminate it, you have done enough, the rest, leave it to fate."

Luo Chen tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, unwilling to give up like this: "At the very least, we can try to find more clues about the men in black and the evil forces, perhaps there’s still a chance to completely solve this issue."

The old man was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "Alright, if you insist, I can tell you about a legendary place—’Valley of Oblivion’. It’s said that the clues to all the secrets of this swamp are hidden there."

"’Valley of Oblivion’?" Qing Shuang asked curiously.

"Yes," the old man nodded, "it’s a place forgotten by time, only the bravest and most determined can find it. But you must be cautious, the ’Valley of Oblivion’ is filled with unknown dangers."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, they knew this would be a challenging adventure, but to completely resolve this crisis, they decided to embark on the journey to find the "Valley of Oblivion".

After bidding farewell to the old man, they began preparing the necessary supplies and equipment.

They knew this journey would not be easy, but they also understood that only by facing the unknown could they find the true answer.

On their way out of the swamp, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang remained vigilant at all times.

They passed through dense forests, crossed perilous peaks, and finally, at a gloomy dusk, arrived at an entrance to a valley shrouded in fog.

"Is this the ’Valley of Oblivion’?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded, a determined light flashing in his eyes: "Yes, we’ve come this far, there’s no turning back."

They took a deep breath and stepped into the mist.

The valley was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura, as if every step they took was along the river of history.

As Luo Chen and Qing Shuang ventured further in, the mist seemed to grow thicker, visibility limited to just a few feet.

They held each other’s hands tightly, afraid of losing their way in this mysterious valley.

The air in the valley was damp and cold, and the occasional bird cries and distant sound of running water only added to the eerie atmosphere.

"We need to be careful, everything here seems so unusual." Luo Chen whispered, his eyes scanning his surroundings alertly.

Qing Shuang nodded, she took a small compass from her waist, attempting to discern direction.

However, the compass needle kept spinning, unable to find an accurate direction.

"It seems the magnetic field here is disrupted by some force." Qing Shuang said, frowning.

Luo Chen pulled out a rough map from his pocket, which they obtained from the old man before setting out.

The map marked the approximate location of the "Valley of Oblivion," but the details were vague.

"We’ll have to rely on this map." Luo Chen said, trying to determine their direction based on the map’s markings.

They continued onward, the scenery in the valley becoming increasingly bizarre.

Trees twisted into strange shapes, and the stones on the ground seemed to glint with a ghostly light in the dimness.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stopped frequently, carefully observing their surroundings, fearful of missing any detail that might hold a clue.

Just as they were passing through a dense grove, Qing Shuang suddenly stopped, pointing at a large boulder ahead with ancient symbols carved on it.

"These symbols... I think I’ve seen them somewhere." Qing Shuang murmured, striving to recall the information in her memory.

Luo Chen stepped forward to examine the symbols carefully.

He suddenly remembered the legends the old man mentioned; these symbols might be related to the secrets of the "Valley of Oblivion."

"These symbols might be clues leading to an important location." Luo Chen said, a hint of excitement in his voice.

Qing Shuang nodded, she took out a piece of parchment from her backpack, which recorded her research on ancient legends.

After a comparison, they found the symbols on the parchment and the boulder were astonishingly similar.

"It seems we’ve found the right direction." Qing Shuang said, determination flashing in her eyes.

Following the instructions on the parchment, they began searching for the next marker in the valley.

After hours of arduous trekking, they finally came to a concealed cave entrance.

The cave’s entrance was covered by vines and weeds, hard to discover without careful searching.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, knowing that this cave might be the key to reaching the depths of the "Valley of Oblivion."

They carefully pulled aside the vines and entered the cave.

The cave’s interior was spacious and dry, with walls covered in ancient murals, seemingly telling an old story.

They proceeded deeper along the cave’s passage, which gradually narrowed, eventually leading to a huge underground cavern.

In the center of the cavern stood a stone platform, with an ancient scroll placed atop it.

Luo Chen carefully picked up the scroll and gently unfurled it.

The scroll contained secrets about the swamp and the "Valley of Oblivion," and how to completely seal the evil forces.

"We’ve found it!" Qing Shuang exclaimed excitedly.

Luo Chen nodded, his gaze tightly focused on the words on the scroll.

They began to meticulously study the content of the scroll, trying to find the method to seal the evil forces.

After some research, they discovered that they needed to gather five special elements, each representing the power of water, fire, earth, wind, and spirit. Only by combining these five elements’ powers could the evil forces within the swamp be completely sealed.

"We must find these five elements." Luo Chen said, his voice filled with determination.

Qing Shuang nodded, aware that this would be an even more arduous journey.

They carefully packed the scroll, preparing to leave the cave and begin the quest to find the five elements.

However, just as they were about to leave the cavern, a deep roar suddenly emanated from its depths.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly drew their weapons, cautiously watching the direction from which the sound came.

A massive figure slowly emerged from the darkness, a beast covered entirely in black scales, its eyes glowing red, incredibly fierce.

"It seems we have other ’guests’." Luo Chen said in a deep voice, standing side by side with Qing Shuang, ready to greet the impending battle.

The beast let out a roar and launched an attack at them.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang reacted quickly, using the cave’s terrain to maneuver against the beast while unleashing their strongest attacks.

The battle was intensely fierce; the beast’s power was beyond imagination, each attack causing the cave to shake.

Relying on their tacit cooperation and unwavering will, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally defeated the beast after a tough struggle.

After the battle ended, they discovered a small altar hidden beneath the beast’s body, where a stone emitting a faint glow was placed.

Luo Chen carefully picked up the stone, discovering it was indeed one of the five elements mentioned in the scroll, the power of the spirit.

They left the cave with the stone.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exited the cave, the sky outside now completely dark.

The fog in the valley seemed even thicker, making it harder to see at night.

They tightly gripped the stone in their hands, their hearts filled with both anticipation and concern for the tasks ahead.
