NOVEL WEB Chapter 766: Time Blade! Seal!
Qing Shuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.
They continued forward, the Sky Heart Grass in Luo Chen's hand emitted a soft glow, as if comforting their spirits.
After several days of trekking, they finally returned to the place where they had seen the Ancient Guardian before.
The Sky Heart Grass needed by the Ancient Guardian, they had now brought with them.
Previously, the Ancient Guardian had said.
Bring the Sky Heart Grass, and they would be bestowed with a treasure.
It's just that they don't know what this treasure actually is.
The figure of the Ancient Guardian was like a towering mountain, his gaze penetrated through time and space, falling upon Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Hong Ling.
The three of them stood in front of him, tightly holding the Sky Heart Grass that emitted a gentle light.
"You have returned." The voice of the Ancient Guardian was like an echo from ancient times, deep and full of power.
Luo Chen stepped forward and respectfully presented the Sky Heart Grass, "We have completed the mission, this is the Sky Heart Grass you needed."
The Ancient Guardian took the Sky Heart Grass, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes, "You have done well, the power of the Sky Heart Grass will help me complete an important ritual. As a reward, I will give you a treasure."
He turned and walked towards a massive stone platform, atop which were placed various strange artifacts.
The Ancient Guardian reached out to pick up a simple box, engraved with complex patterns, seemingly containing some kind of mysterious power.
"Within this box, an ancient treasure is sealed." The Ancient Guardian said slowly, "It is called the 'Time Blade', when wielded, it appears to be able to cleave through time, its power is extremely terrifying. But remember, its power is a double-edged sword, use it with caution."
Luo Chen received the box, feeling the waves of pulsation coming from it, as if countless voices were whispering.
"We will be careful in using it." He promised.
The Ancient Guardian nodded, his gaze seemed to penetrate Luo Chen's soul, scrutinizing his inner being.
The "Time Blade" is not merely a weapon; it also carries an ancient history and power. Its existence could mean a transformation for the entire continent.
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Hong Ling left the dwelling of the Ancient Guardian with the box, knowing that the journey ahead would no longer be peaceful.
The legend of the Time Blade had circulated on the continent for countless centuries, numerous cultivators and greedy individuals had tried to find it, but all returned empty-handed.
Now, it is in their hands, which will undoubtedly attract countless covetous and challenges.
"We have to find a safe place to study this box first." Qing Shuang suggested, knowing that hastily using the Time Blade without understanding it might bring catastrophic consequences.
Luo Chen and Hong Ling agreed with Qing Shuang's suggestion.
They decided to head to Qing Shuang's hometown, where there was an ancient library, rich with books, which might hold clues about the Time Blade.
On their way to Qing Shuang's hometown, the three took turns guarding the box. They knew the power sealed within the box was enough to drive anyone mad.
They carefully avoided crowds, choosing to travel at night to minimize contact with the outside world.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at Qing Shuang's hometown.
It was a tranquil town surrounded by mountains, where the people lived simple and peaceful lives.
Qing Shuang's family had guarded the library for generations. It stood in the center of the town, an ancient stone structure filled with the marks of history.
The librarian was Qing Shuang's uncle, a learned old man.
He seemed somewhat surprised to see Qing Shuang return with Luo Chen and Hong Ling, but when Qing Shuang explained the situation to him, a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
"The Time Blade..." The librarian pondered, "It indeed is a dangerous yet powerful treasure. I read about it in ancient tomes. It is said to be able to cut time, even reverse life and death, but the user must have formidable willpower and a pure spirit, or they could easily be consumed by its power."
Luo Chen and Hong Ling felt a deep heaviness in their hearts upon hearing this.
They knew this wasn't just a test of strength, but a challenge of self-control and moral choice as well.
In the following days, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Hong Ling began searching in the library for information related to the Time Blade.
They flipped through countless ancient tomes, finally finding a crucial note on a yellowed page.
"The Time Blade, forged by the god of time from ancient times, contains the secrets of time, capable of cutting the flow of time, but those who use it must pay a corresponding price." The note in the book made their hearts leap into their throats.
"What price?" Hong Ling asked anxiously.
"The book doesn't specify, but it mentions the 'price of time.'" Qing Shuang replied with a frown.
They decided to delve deeper, hoping to uncover more secrets of the Time Blade.
In the depths of the library, they discovered a hidden room filled with strange instruments and scrolls.
These items seemed to have some connection to the Time Blade.
Luo Chen carefully picked up an ancient scroll, which was covered with intricate patterns and symbols.
He attempted to decipher these symbols, but they appeared to not belong to any known language.
"These symbols..." Qing Shuang suddenly said, "I've heard of them in some ancient legend; they are the language of time, only those who truly understand the essence of time can decode them."
