My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

Chen Ze held the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand; its glass surface shimmered with irregular halos, as if sealing away another world.

He turned around and slowly surveyed the cave. The air seemed to be stretched as the mirror reflected the view, creating a slightly eerie atmosphere.

"It seems safe here for now, with no other ghosts or strange phenomena."

Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly, its blade casting a faint blue light in the shadows, like the moon reflected in water.

She nodded slightly. "At least there's some good news. This place is making me increasingly uncomfortable."

After saying that, the two of them took a deep breath, as if trying to fill every cell with the thin air.

The air quality inside the cave is indeed deteriorating, and even breathing is becoming somewhat difficult.

Chen Ze grasped the Yin-Yang Mirror, placed it in his robes, and switched to the Qingfeng Sword. The sword instantly merged with his aura, as if it were an extension of his body. He glanced at Tian Siyao, "Ready?"

Tian Siyao twirled the jade sword, then nodded resolutely.

The two walked forward with their swords in hand. With each step, their shadows were cast on the stone wall below, elongated and distorted, as if something was constantly watching them.

Chen Ze felt an indescribable pressure silently accumulating around him, and he couldn't help but frown.

"How are you feeling?" Tian Siyao asked in a low voice, her expression slightly tense.

"Something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"It's probably just psychological," Chen Ze replied, feigning nonchalance.

As the two continued deeper into the area, they gradually felt that the surrounding air was not only thinner but also getting colder.

It was a chilling aura that seemed to seep into your very bones.

Just then, they heard a faint cry, a faint and ethereal sound that appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Chen Ze suddenly stopped, took out the Yin-Yang Mirror from his pocket, and stared intently ahead.

Suddenly, a strange white shadow flashed by and then disappeared into the darkness.

The white figure had no face, but its shape was very strange, resembling a twisted corpse.

"What is this?" Tian Siyao was terrified, and the jade sword in her hand trembled involuntarily.

"I don't know either, but judging from the Yin-Yang Mirror, it's definitely not a good thing."

"We need to be careful." Chen Ze took a deep breath, put the Yin-Yang Mirror back into his pocket, and gripped the Qingfeng Sword tightly again.

The two continued forward with even greater vigilance, as if each step was on the edge of a cliff, and one wrong move would plunge them into endless darkness.

Tian Siyao couldn't help but start chanting the Mind-Clearing Mantra, just to calm her soaring heartbeat and unfathomable fear.

Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the cave, where there was an ancient cave.

Chen Ze's gaze was like a hunter observing its prey, deep and focused.

He held the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly in his hand, his powerful assistant used to identify ghosts and other supernatural phenomena.

"After that evil spirit was sucked into the Five-Colored Tower, it won't be able to get out for a while."

"This tower has its own sealing mechanism, which is difficult even for evil spirits to break," Chen Ze explained slowly.

Tian Siyao frowned slightly, her jade sword pressed close to her side, like a personal guard.

"Nevertheless, relying too much on magical artifacts is not a long-term solution."

"Who knows what tricks that evil spirit has up its sleeve, or whether it can break the seal inside the tower?" Her voice carried a hint of worry, and her eyes flashed with a wary light.

Just then, a low laugh suddenly echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao turned their heads almost simultaneously, looking around, but saw nothing.

Chen Ze suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from behind him. He turned around instantly, the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand, searching for the source of the laughter.

Tian Siyao was not to be outdone. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, preparing to activate the Mind-Clearing Mantra at any moment. "Do you think a small, colorful pagoda can trap me?" The deep voice sounded again, as if it came from the depths of the earth.

Tian Siyao's eyes hardened; she knew that cooperating with Chen Ze was of paramount importance.

At this moment, Chen Ze suddenly felt the Yin-Yang Mirror begin to vibrate slightly, as if it were resonating with some kind of power.

“There’s a reaction.” Chen Ze’s eyes flashed, and he whispered to Tian Siyao.

"Get ready. Whatever it is, we must kill it with one blow." Tian Siyao responded softly, her jade sword in hand, ready to strike at any moment.

The two stood so close, like two sharp, cold swords, ready to cut through any obstacle at any moment.

The air was thick with tension and unease, but the two men's convictions were as unyielding as a rock wall, inspiring awe in all who beheld them.

The demon's laughter echoed again, this time even closer, almost right next to his ear.

But Chen Ze and Tian Siyao remained calm. In the tense atmosphere, their beliefs and courage coalesced into an undeniable force.

"Come on, let's see who has the last laugh." Chen Ze gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly, his tone full of determination.

At the same time, Tian Siyao raised her jade sword high, the tip of which drew a beautiful arc in the air, as if foreshadowing the upcoming battle.

Both of them knew in their hearts that what they were about to face was by no means easy.

But no matter what, they were prepared, because the brave are fearless.

In a dark mountain cave, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao's expedition team quietly made their way forward.

The light gradually dimmed, but that wasn't their biggest problem.

When they turned a corner, they were met with a wall made of unknown stone.

The walls are engraved with strange markings, like an interweaving of ancient runes and forbidden spells.

Chen Ze nervously took the Yin-Yang Mirror out of his backpack and put it in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, the markings on the wall began to emit a faint, eerie glow, as if they were alive.

He glanced at Tian Siyao and noticed that she was also frowning, clearly sensing the ominous atmosphere.

“These markings are related to ghosts. It looks like we’re in big trouble.” Chen Ze gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly, his tone serious.

"clear."

"Then what do we do? Go around it?" Tian Siyao held the jade sword in one hand, preparing to deal with any sudden crisis.

"There's no other way, we have to go around it." Chen Ze nodded, but felt a little uneasy.

They then went around the wall and took a few steps.

However, just as I rounded the corner, a strange sound suddenly rang in my ears, like a spell and wails lost in the mists of time, intertwined, sending chills down my spine.

Tian Siyao's jade sword trembled involuntarily, and the light in the bright jade hilt rippled slightly.

"Did you hear that?" Tian Siyao asked nervously.

"I heard that, it's definitely not a good sign." Chen Ze replied, taking out the Qingfeng Sword from his backpack and preparing for battle.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance. It looked like a person, but it was blurry and indistinct.

The figure slowly approached, eventually transforming into a bizarre, ghostly creature before them.

It has a distorted face and sharp claws, and its body is shrouded in a strange black mist.

The jade sword in Tian Siyao's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling green light, and she loudly chanted the Mind-Enlightening Mantra.

At the same time, Chen Ze used his Qingfeng Sword to create a halo, trapping the ghost within it. (End of Chapter)
