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

"Tian Siyao, be careful! There's a ghost that can shapeshift!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Siyao immediately shouted, "The Mantra of Enlightenment!"

The moment she chanted the incantation, the tip of the jade sword emitted a bright light, like ice piercing through the darkness, directly illuminating the true form of the deformed ghost.

Wu Sang Daoist's expression changed, seemingly not expecting Tian Siyao to have such methods.

“Very good, but that’s not enough!” Wu Sang Daoist sneered, and then began chanting another incantation.

At that moment, Chen Ze felt a powerful current of air rushing towards them.

Without hesitation, he took out the colorful tower.

"Retreat!" Chen Ze shouted, and the Five-Colored Pagoda immediately released a dazzling light, like a rainbow piercing the sky, rushing directly towards those ghosts.

Wu Sang Daoren's expression grew even more somber. He knew that this unexpected reunion might be more complicated than he had anticipated.

Deep within the Dragon Roar Mountains, the atmosphere of the dense forest seemed oppressive, and even the wind carried a chill.

Chen Ze gripped the Five Light Pagoda tightly in his hand, feeling the fluctuations within the magical artifact becoming increasingly unstable.

Beside her, Tian Siyao frowned, the jade sword in her hand emitting a faint light, as cold as ice.

The smile in Wu Sang Daoren's eyes deepened; he clearly felt victory was within his grasp.

The sleeve of his robe fluttered, like a lotus leaf in the wind, gradually condensing into a pale yellow ball of light, which he then blasted towards Chen Ze and Tian Siyao.

Bang.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao were sent flying backwards.

Taoist Wu Sang leaped into the air, shouting, "You are all going to die!"

When Wu Sang Daoist thrust out his sword, it was as if a fierce and evil god had descended.

In that instant, in his haste, Chen Ze accidentally activated the Five Lights Pagoda in his hand.

A blinding light instantly filled the entire space, as if even the darkness of night had been dispelled.

The Flame Demon suddenly burst out of the Five Lights Tower, its form constantly changing in the air, from a fiery red human figure to a giant demon with three heads and six arms.

The flames on the Flame Demon's body were like a burning life, furious and domineering.

It pounced on Wu Sang Daoren, and for a moment, the entire air seemed to be distorted by the heat.

Wu Sang Daoist showed unprecedented fear and tried to defend himself by waving his robe, but the power of the Flaming Demon exceeded his imagination.

In an instant, the Flaming Demon struck him back with a palm, and Wu Sang Daoist coughed up blood, looking utterly disheveled.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the Flame Demon did not continue its attack.

After looking around, it seemed to sense some kind of gravitational pull within the Five Lights Pagoda, and slowly drifted back into the pagoda, disappearing from sight.

"What's going on?" Tian Siyao's eyes were filled with shock.

Chen Ze gasped, feeling the Five Light Pagoda warm in his hand, as if he had just experienced a great battle.

He glanced at the still disheveled Taoist Wu Sang, a complex feeling welling up inside him. "I don't know either. Perhaps the Flaming Ghost only succeeded in his sneak attack; he wasn't entirely confident he could defeat Taoist Wu Sang."

"What about Daoist Wu Sang? He looks like he's seriously injured." Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly, as if ready to strike at any moment.

"His injuries appear severe, but are not fatal."

"It would be best if we left now and found another opportunity to deal with him," Chen Ze suggested. He could sense that the Flame Demon in the Five Lights Tower was also reminding him that now was not the time to end everything.

The two hurriedly put away their magical artifacts and, before Wu Sang Daoist could recover, quickly left the eerie mountain forest.

The whole incident felt like a dream, unbelievable.

But both Chen Ze and Tian Siyao knew that this was not the end, but a new beginning.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao sat on a large rock, each holding several yellowed books in their hands.

The warm yellow light shone on their faces, making them look especially warm.

“Look here,” Chen Ze opened a book and pointed to the chapter about the Five Lights Pagoda, “This pagoda used to seal away a high-level evil spirit, which was extremely powerful.”

But the book also mentions that this tower is also a vessel for imprisoning evil spirits. Tian Siyao stared at that page, gently holding her jade sword in her hand, as if seeking advice on magical artifacts.

"Chen Ze, do you think we can control the Flame Demon if it regains its full power?"

Chen Ze closed his eyes, as if communicating with the Fiery Demon in his heart, then slowly opened them and looked into Tian Siyao's eyes.

"I'm not sure either, Siyao."

This is a dilemma: releasing it could lead to disaster, but continuing to imprison it is also not a solution.

Tian Siyao stared at Chen Ze, took a deep breath, and said, "Perhaps we can find a third way to turn him into the evil spirit you raised."

Chen Ze smiled, looking at the light shining in Tian Siyao's eyes, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, let's find a solution together."

They began to examine the ancient books in their hands more carefully, their brows furrowed with determination and anticipation. "483".

After leaving the cave, they soon entered an ancient village.

Chen Ze occasionally used the Yin-Yang Mirror to scan his surroundings, making sure that no unknown ghosts or evil spirits were approaching.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, with only the pages of the ancient book turning gently in their hands, producing a barely audible rustling sound.

Tian Siyao suddenly smiled softly and pointed to a piece of text.

"Look, here's an ancient spell that can connect you with the Flame Demon."

Chen Ze leaned closer for a look, and his eyes lit up.

“This is exactly what we need! As long as we find the container and the detailed steps of the incantation, we have hope.”

Tian Siyao looked at Chen Ze and suddenly felt that although they were facing many difficulties, as long as they loved each other, there was no obstacle they couldn't overcome.

At that moment, the two seemed to be isolated from the entire world, with only themselves, the ancient books, and the unknown adventure.

“Then let’s start with this incantation,” Tian Siyao said with a smile.

"Yes, everything will be alright." A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Ze's eyes. Chen Ze gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly in his hand, his expression solemn.

This village, which had seemed peaceful before, now made him feel depressed and uneasy.

Tian Siyao stood beside him, holding a jade sword in her hand, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Did you feel it?" Chen Ze asked in a low voice.

Tian Siyao frowned. "Yes, the atmosphere here is very uncomfortable, like something is secretly watching us."

Chen Ze nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. This was his reaction to the challenge, but also a sign of unease.

He gently shook the Yin-Yang Mirror, and a beam of light instantly shot out from the mirror, sweeping across the village.

Several shadowy figures were reflected in the mirror and appeared directly in their line of sight.

“Look, those shadows…” Tian Siyao pointed nervously.

Chen Ze's gaze sharpened. "It's not a shadow, it's an evil spirit."

I suspect the residents here may be influenced by them.

We need to act quickly.

As they were talking, one of the evil spirits suddenly transformed, turning from an amorphous black shadow into a hideous face with sharp teeth growing out of its mouth, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Tian Siyao swiftly swung her jade sword, the tip of which instantly emitted a blinding light as she slashed at the evil spirit.

The demon let out a painful scream and was forced back a few steps by the light.

Chen Ze then used the Water Dragon Pearl to summon a stream of water that rushed towards another evil spirit like a waterfall.

The water flow directly washed away the evil spirits, turning them into a cloud of black smoke.

The two worked together and successfully subdued the evil spirits, but they had no time to catch their breath. (End of Chapter)
