situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the ground suddenly cracked, and a gigantic tentacle emerged from the underground, rushing straight toward Luo Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen swiftly evaded, but more tentacles followed in quick succession, as if the entire clearing had turned into a living monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another Demonic Beast!\" Qing Shuang shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fought side by side, using their agile movement techniques and excellent Martial Techniques, they maneuvered around the tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen’s Swordsmanship flowed like the clouds and water, each swing accurately cleaving the tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang, like an agile swallow, wove between the tentacles, her weapon followed closely, delivering fatal strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle lasted a long time, and both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt fatigued, but their determination grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, in perfect synergy, they found the source of the tentacles, a massive underground creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen used all his strength to thrust his sword into its body, while Qing Shuang cut off its life line with her weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the creature died, the time Barrier began to collapse, and the surroundings gradually returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing heavily, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew this victory did not come easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s keep going, surely there are more secrets awaiting us in this swamp.\" Luo Chen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded, they collected themselves and continued along the trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards, they arrived at the entrance of a gigantic cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold winds emanated from within the cave, seemingly concealing some unknown creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighting their torches, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang cautiously entered the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the cave was spacious and deep, its walls covered with glowing minerals that illuminated the path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the cave passage deeper, they discovered a vast underground lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the lake floated a gigantic stone, on which sat a wise elder with white hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder had his eyes closed, seemingly in meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, they knew this elder was no ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honored elder, we are travelers who have accidentally stumbled upon this place, might you guide us?\" Luo Chen respectfully inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder slowly opened his eyes, a profound glimmer flashed within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have passed the swamp test and arrived here, I am the Guardian of this swamp, you may call me ’Ze Ling’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang respectfully bowed again, aware that the elder before them possessed infinite wisdom and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ze Ling smiled and said, \"Your Spirit is pure, your strength is great, your wisdom remarkable, the secrets of the swamp have opened up to you, and now I will grant you a final gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ze Ling rose from the stone, an ancient scroll appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the ’Swamp Secret Book’, it contains all the secrets and powers of this swamp, from which you can learn how to better utilize the power of nature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang received the ’Swamp Secret Book’, feeling a mighty force surge into their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood that this was not just a book, but a legacy, a responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Ze Ling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ze Ling nodded, his figure gradually becoming indistinct, eventually disappearing into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the ’Swamp Secret Book’ in hand, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus the swamp had been explored to this point, with most of its fortunes claimed by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a small opportunity remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s likely that it wouldn’t surpass the major fortunes they have obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earlier, I discovered a city not far from here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall we go and have a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the cave’s exit, gazing at the distant city shrouded in mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that although most of the swamp’s fortunes had been acquired, that city might still hold unknown chances and challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s take a look, there’s nothing much else to do anyway.\" Luo Chen proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded, always filled with curiosity about unknown things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tidying up their packs, the two set off towards the direction of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they gradually approached, the city’s silhouette became increasingly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an ancient city, its walls built from massive stone blocks, overgrown with moss and vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city gate was tightly shut, as though it had not seen movement in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could sense that this city was not a dead city, it exuded a mysterious and ancient aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They circled the city walls once, eventually discovering a hidden path concealed by vines in a secluded corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cautiously parting the vines, they found a half-open door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the door was a dark passage, with a faint light seeming to emanate from its end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, nodding to each other, and then entered the passage in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they ventured deeper, the passage gradually widened, its walls embedded with glowing minerals, illuminating their way forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at a vast underground space, which seemed to be an abandoned market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various stalls scattered around, displaying all kinds of peculiar items, some already decaying, others still emitting a faint glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cautiously navigating between the stalls, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew these items might hide secrets unknown to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Qing Shuang’s gaze was drawn to a dilapidated wooden box on one of the stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching, she gently opened the box, and inside lay a crystal, pristine and transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal seemed to hold a certain power, making Qing Shuang feel an inexplicable attachment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luo Chen, look at this.\" Qing Shuang called softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen came over, carefully inspecting the crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a strong resonance, as though this crystal was connected to him by destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This crystal contains powerful energy, perhaps complementing our own.\" Luo Chen commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded, knowing Luo Chen’s instincts seldom missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair decided to take the crystal, perhaps one day it would prove unexpectedly beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to explore the underground market, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discovered some ancient scrolls and peculiar potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully collecting these items, their hearts filled with respect for the unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, they heard faint footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone’s here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this supposed to be an empty city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question lingered in Luo Chen’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair swiftly concealed themselves behind one of the stalls, vigilantly observing their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a figure emerged from the darkness, it was a mysterious person clad in a black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious person seemed oblivious to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s presence, walking straight to a corner and retrieving an item from a pile of debris before hastily leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance and decided to track the mysterious person and uncover what exactly they were seeking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully following the mysterious person through one dark passage after another, they eventually reached a vast underground hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the hall was a massive stone platform, adorned with various unusual gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious person approached the stone platform, placing the item they held into a recess on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the entire hall erupted in brilliant light, the gemstones on the platform began to rotate, emitting melodious sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shocked by this scene, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang realized that this stone platform might be an ancient mechanism, and the mysterious person seemed to know how to activate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious person turned around, eyes fixed on the hiding place of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hint of cunning in their gaze, as if they had known of their presence all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have followed quite closely...\" the mysterious person spoke, with a trace of teasing in their voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang emerged from their hiding spot, aware that the upcoming conversation might reveal more secrets of this Underground World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? What are you doing here?\" Luo Chen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1328,"2026-06-03T12:44:46.061Z","2026-06-03T12:44:51.380Z",1,"novelbin.me","5d0d7f87d89e3f109bbfa49fe73e065219b394736364b961bb291ff2598d7f98","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1457","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1455",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
