MTLNOVEL Chapter 777: Ghost Talisman!
They took a deep breath, held hands, and walked into the Light Gate together.
On the other side of the Light Gate was an ancient temple full of mystery.
The walls of the temple were carved with various strange patterns, and in the center was a massive altar with two glowing Divine Artifacts placed upon it.
"It seems we've found the remaining two Divine Artifacts," Luo Chen said, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue, but more so excitement.
Qing Shuang stepped forward and carefully picked up the two Divine Artifacts.
As she touched the artifacts, the entire temple began to tremble, beams of light shot out from the altar, forming a massive orb of light.
"Luo Chen, look!" Qing Shuang exclaimed.
Luo Chen looked up, only to see a shadowy figure appearing in the orb of light, gradually becoming clearer—it was the Guardian God.
"Congratulations, you have completed the trial and found the three Divine Artifacts," the voice of the Guardian God echoed in the temple.
"Now, you can use these three Divine Artifacts to open the door to the real world," the Guardian God continued.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed the Guardian God's instructions and placed the three artifacts in specific positions on the altar.
The artifacts began to resonate with each other, emitting a dazzling light that gradually formed into a gigantic Light Gate.
"Pass through this Light Gate, and you'll be able to return to the real world," the voice of the Guardian God rang out once more.
Without hesitation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that this was their only chance.
They tightly held each other's hands and stepped into the Light Gate together.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in the real world.
They stood before the Crystal Ball, and everything around them seemed so familiar.
Standing before the Light Gate, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting complex emotions.
They had faced countless challenges and trials, finally returning to the real world, yet their hearts were filled with a sense of indescribable loss and confusion.
"We've really come back," Qing Shuang's voice carried a tinge of uncertainty, as if everything felt like a dream.
Luo Chen nodded heavily, then said, "We have returned, but we should leave here first. Everything here seems so bizarre, making me feel uneasy..."
Qing Shuang nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, the two of them left the place as quickly as possible.
During their journey, they also discarded the ancient Parchment that had guided their exploration of this place.
Such ominous objects are better off discarded promptly.
...
Several days later.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to the workshop where Cultivators gathered.
The workshop was as bustling as ever, with Cultivators of all kinds coming and going, either trading, conversing, or simply enjoying the workshop's vibrance.
Yet, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang appeared somewhat out of place, as the aftershocks of their adventure still reverberated in their hearts.
"We really came back," Qing Shuang said softly again, her gaze carrying a hint of daze as if still savoring that fantastical journey.
Luo Chen nodded, glancing around, the familiar feeling bringing him a bit of peace.
"Yes, it's good that we've come back, but everything we experienced seems like something no one would believe."
Qing Shuang smiled slightly, "So what? As long as we know, that's enough. Those Divine Artifacts and the Guardian God, are our shared secret."
Walking side by side along the crowded streets, Luo Chen suddenly stopped, his gaze resting on a small teahouse.
"Let's go in and have a seat; there are some things I want to discuss with you."
Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, and the two entered the teahouse, finding a quiet corner to sit down.
Luo Chen ordered two cups of green tea, the delicate fragrance bringing them a touch of tranquility.
"Qing Shuang," Luo Chen began, "even though we've returned, I feel we have many things left to do."
Qing Shuang looked at him curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Naturally, another Secret Realm..."
"I still have the Secret Realm map given by Elder Xuan Jizi from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!"
Luo Chen took out the yellowed Secret Realm map from his bosom, carefully spreading it out on the table.
Qing Shuang leaned in for a closer look, seeing strange symbols and routes marked on the map, seemingly pointing to an unknown Domain.
"This Secret Realm is said to be hiding even greater power and secrets."
Luo Chen said in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with the light of exploration.
Qing Shuang nodded gently, knowing that what Luo Chen said was not mere fantasy.
In the world of Immortal Cultivation, every Secret Realm might hold the chance to change one's fate.
"We've gone through so much already; don't you want to keep exploring?"
Luo Chen asked, his voice brimming with anticipation.
Qing Shuang smiled faintly, her heart long having an answer.
A determined gleam flashed in Qing Shuang's eyes, and she softly answered, "Of course, Luo Chen. We've come this far, how can we abandon halfway?"
Luo Chen, upon hearing this, curled his lips into a satisfied smile.
He lifted his teacup, taking a gentle sip, as if the fresh aroma of the tea dispelled some of the fog in his mind.
"Then let's prepare to head to this Secret Realm,"
Luo Chen said, his voice full of unyielding resolve.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that this would be a new adventure, possibly more dangerous than before, but she believed that as long as she was with Luo Chen, nothing was impossible.
They stayed in the teahouse for a while longer, discussing some details about the Secret Realm and the potential dangers they might encounter.
