**Chapter 45: New Dungeon - Ancient Sword Cultivator's Tomb (1)**
"Student, how did you get here?"
A teacher from No. 3 High School looked at Su Chen, who was wearing the uniform of No. 1 High School, with a very strange expression. How could a student from No. 1 High School come out of the practice room at No. 3 High School?
He hadn't heard of any joint exams between their school and No. 1 High School recently.
Faced with the inquiry of the teacher from No. 3 High School, Su Chen calmly replied, "Hello, teacher. I am here to reminisce with my classmates. A classmate said that he came to the practice room for a retreat, so I thought of coming here to look for him."
"Oh, that's how it is."
The teacher from No. 3 High School did not doubt Su Chen's answer too much. After all, whether it is No. 1 High School or No. 3 High School, many students regard the practice room of the school as their home.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for some people outside the school to come here to look for someone if they cannot contact the person they are looking for.
He just wondered why Su Chen, a student from No. 1 High School, was there.
"Do you need me to help you contact your old classmate?"
Su Chen waved his hand hurriedly. "No, no, after thinking about it, I still think I won't bother him. After all, everyone is in the third year of high school, and we should still focus on cultivation..."
"Teacher, I'm leaving first."
The teacher from No. 3 High School looked at Su Chen's departure with a puzzled expression.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Strange... What was wrong?
—
At the same time, Su Chen, who walked out of No. 3 High School, took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
He looked at the new dungeon icon that appeared in the upper right corner of the cultivation of immortality app with excitement.
[Dungeon: Ancient Cultivation Sword Tomb]
Looking at this activated new dungeon, Su Chen secretly clenched his fists.
'It's done; my guess was indeed correct!'
As long as he approaches an ancient site or secret realm, he can activate the corresponding dungeon.
So he failed to enter the training room of No. 3 High School this time, but he still activated a new dungeon.
It seems that his inference about the conditions for dungeon activation is correct.
Not only No. 3 High School, but also No. 2 High School in Jiangnan, as well as some famous scenic spots and historical sites, might also activate a dungeon.
Thinking of this, Su Chen seemed to feel countless experience points waving at him.
After the excitement, Su Chen began to focus on this new dungeon, the Ancient Sword Tomb.
Although he had not clicked on the new dungeon to view its specific information, Su Chen roughly inferred the situation of this dungeon just from its name.
As expected, the content of this dungeon must be mainly about sword cultivation.
In this way, as long as he can pass this dungeon, he will not only gain a lot of experience points but also improve his swordsmanship level.
With this idea in mind, Su Chen took a taxi back to No. 1 High School and went straight into the school's practice room.
Now he has earned a lot of credits because of his outstanding performance in the mock exam.
Renting a practice room is no longer a huge expense for him.
He can completely treat this place as a second home.
As for the promise Su Chen made to Lao Chen to find him after he came back, he had already forgotten it.
The practice resources Lao Chen gave him?
It's better to pass the dungeon!

[Dungeon: Ancient Sword Tomb]
[Minimum requirement: Level 1 of Qi Gathering Stage]
[Description: The place where ancient sword cultivators hid their swords. Due to special reasons, most of the spirit swords here were broken and destroyed, and some spirit swords fell into evil ways (heretic path), feeding on flesh and blood, turning into sword demons and wandering in the sword tomb.]
[Note 1: Death in the dungeon will not affect the main body.]
[Note 2: The dungeon is refreshed every three months.]
[Note 3: When the dungeon is opened, you can choose the immersive mode.]
—
"It's really a different dungeon, but the same first level of Qi Gathering Stage requirement..."
Game designers of Cultivation of Immortality, have you ever played the game you designed?!
Su Chen shook his head speechlessly, stopped complaining about the pointless minimum cultivation requirement, and prepared to enter the new dungeon directly.
But at this moment, a new prompt appeared.
—
[It is detected that the player has a companion spirit sword. You can bring its 'copy' into the dungeon. After the dungeon is cleared, you can choose whether to integrate the copy into the spirit sword body...]
[Name: Black Dragon Sword]
[Rank: First Realm (1%)]
[Item 1: Blood Ink: Can devour enemy blood to nourish itself and improve the spirit sword's rank.]
[Item 2: Black Spirit (0/5): Can imprison the soul of the killer and summon it to fight when necessary.]
—
"Can the copy of the Black Dragon Sword be brought into the dungeon?"
Su Chen looked at this prompt that had never appeared before, and his brain began to work rapidly.
He was not thinking about why the Black Dragon Sword could enter the dungeon in the form of a copy.
Instead, he was considering whether his form in the dungeon also appeared as a copy.
If this is true, then there is undoubtedly a perfect explanation for the infinite resurrection and infinite loop in the dungeon, as well as the fact that the main body can only be amplified after he clears the dungeon.
However, Su Chen did not dwell on these details for too long.
He just needs to understand that the dungeon can make him stronger.
Cultivation of Immortality, Start!
—
[You have opened the dungeon: Ancient Cultivator Sword Tomb. Do you want to turn on immersion mode?]
[Yes]
—
As the dungeon was opened, Su Chen's eyes suddenly went dark.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had changed drastically.
A strange, lonely, half-collapsed sword pavilion, and a strange world with a red moon hanging high outside the sword pavilion and ashes flying all over the sky... came into view.
"Is this... the Ancient Cultivator Sword Tomb?"
Su Chen looked at the huge half-collapsed sword pavilion not far away.
He noticed the rusty and broken swords scattered everywhere in the square in front of the sword pavilion, falling into deep thought inexplicably.
At first, he thought the so-called Ancient Cultivator Sword Tomb was a cemetery-like existence.
The ancient cultivators buried their spiritual swords in the tomb as burial objects.
Or they inserted them into the grave in the form of tombstones.
But the actual situation seems to be quite different from what he thought.
The so-called ancient sword tomb is not essentially a tomb of spiritual swords.
It is more like a place dedicated to storing the swords of sword cultivators of all generations, commonly known as the Sword Pavilion.
The reason why this place became a "sword tomb" may be related to the tragic battle that once took place here.
The reason Su Chen can infer this is that, in addition to a large number of broken swords and shattered blades around this sword pavilion, there are also a significant number of corpses and dry bones.
Su Chen walked a few steps and suddenly stopped.
He squatted down and swept away the ashes accumulated on the ground.
Not long after, a disciple token covered with rust and dried blood became visible.
Su Chen picked up the token and carefully read the tiny letters on it.
"Qingyun Sect, Cangjian Peak's 72nd generation inner sect disciple... Lu Hengjiang."
"... So this is also the Qingyun Sect?"
Su Chen looked at the dead silent square in front of him and the towering, dilapidated Sword Pavilion behind it, feeling inexplicably complex.
In front of him was the decaying tomb of Qingyun Sect disciples, and behind him was the devastated Sword Pavilion of Cangjian Peak.
What happened to the Qingyun Sect, which was once prosperous and had countless strong practitioners, to end up in such a state?
With this thought in mind, Su Chen stood up and walked towards the Sword Pavilion not far away.
But before he took a few steps, several withered and rotten corpses slowly stood up from the ground and looked at him with red faces.
In addition to their hideous appearance, the weapons in the hands of the corpses were also very special.
They were all flesh-and-blood evil swords (heretic swords) covered with tumors, beating like hearts.
The tumor on the hilt was completely fused with the arm of the corpse, and countless blood vessels had inserted into the corpse along the direction of the arm.
It seemed to be parasitic on these corpses (making them into magic corpses).
Su Chen looked at the more than ten strange sword demons that suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped immediately.
The Black Dragon Sword worn on his right index finger manifested and turned into a black spirit sword that fell into his hand.
Su Chen raised the Black Dragon Sword and pointed it at the many sword demons, saying expressionlessly, "Spirit swords that devour their masters and steal their bodies to be born... You are truly depraved."
"Come on, let me see how depraved your sword intent is..."
As soon as the words fell, the ferocious sword demons swarmed up.
The battle was about to start.
