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

The Flame Demon observed quietly from the side. Despite being defeated by Kuiba, it still stared nervously at Chen Ze and Tian Siyao, as if waiting for a decisive moment.

Chen Ze took a deep breath, gripping the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly in one hand and gently touching the stone wall of the altar with the other, as if searching for some clue.

"Tian Siyao, do you think these patterns have any meaning?" Chen Ze suddenly asked.

Tian Siyao observed carefully for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

I sensed the complex emotions between Chen Ze and Tian Siyao.

The moment the Flame Demon retreated back into the Five-Colored Tower, the two looked exhausted but relieved, as if they had just survived a great battle.

Chen Ze gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly in his hand; the mirror's surface appeared exceptionally calm at this moment.

"It's finally back. The Flame Demon performed very well this time," Chen Ze smiled slightly, gently stroking the Five-Colored Tower.

Tian Siyao then drew her jade sword and began to carefully examine the altar.

The jade sword shimmered with a mesmerizing emerald green light under the illumination, creating a striking contrast with the dim altar.

"There are some old talismans and offerings here, but there doesn't seem to be any other danger."

Chen Ze nodded and began to observe carefully as well.

The talismans and offerings on the altar have been eroded by time, and some have even turned almost to ashes.

In this atmosphere of antiquity and silence, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

"Siyao, do you think this altar... could be a remnant of some ancient ritual?" Chen Ze couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

Tian Siyao lowered her head and softly recited a mantra for enlightenment.

A flash of light appeared on the jade sword, and all the ancient runes on the altar seemed to light up, emitting warm yellow light.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

But the most important thing now is to ensure that there are no other dangers present here.

The two looked at each other, deeply aware of the great responsibility they shared.

Although both the Five-Colored Pagoda and the Jade Sword are powerful magical artifacts, caution is always the best strategy when facing unknown dangers.

Chen Ze suddenly realized that there was an indescribable determination and courage in Tian Siyao's eyes.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel more admiration for the woman who had gone through so many dangers with him.

"Since there are no other dangers, shouldn't we leave here and continue on our way?" Tian Siyao gently sheathed the jade sword, restoring it to its original form.

"Yes, that's right. But before I leave, I'd like to double-check with the Yin-Yang Mirror."

As Chen Ze spoke, he took out the Yin-Yang Mirror and pointed it at the altar.

He gently turned the mirror in his hand, revealing that everything in the altar was calm.

This finally put their minds at ease.

"Alright, let's go then." Chen Ze put away the Yin-Yang Mirror and walked out of the treacherous and mysterious altar with Tian Siyao. Although he had countless questions and imaginations in his heart, he felt an increasingly clear vision of the future.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao stood in the ancient altar, taking deep breaths of the scent of grass and earth that filled the air.

The intricate patterns on the altar pillars seem like unsolvable puzzles, just like the unknowns they now face.

“Look at these ancient books and artifacts,” Tian Siyao said, taking out a cloth bag and gently placing it on the stone platform of the altar. “Could this be the answer we’re looking for?” She gently picked up a jade disc from inside the bag, and the setting sun shone through it, casting a warm glow on her smiling face. Chen Ze picked up an ancient book; the rustic paper and yellowed ink inspired awe.

“The answer may be there, or it may not,” he said, frowning. “But I know that if we don’t look for it, we’ll never find it.”

Tian Siyao picked up the jade sword in her hand, gently waved it, and murmured the incantation. Instantly, a faint light covered the blade of the jade sword.

“A mantra for enlightenment,” she explained with a smile, “helps us understand our inner selves and find our true selves.”

Chen Ze gave an approving smile, then took out the Yin-Yang Mirror and gazed at the surrounding environment.

“This place is full of secrets,” he said, his eyes becoming complicated. “The Yin-Yang Mirror tells me that these ancient books and artifacts are just the tip of the iceberg.”

Tian Siyao's mood sank slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"More unknowns and dangers await us, right?" She looked at Chen Ze, and he understood the same thing in his eyes.

“Yes, we need to be prepared,” Chen Ze said earnestly. He then picked up the multicolored tower and shook it gently. The top of the tower emitted a soft light, as if reminding them that even if the road ahead was unknown, there was still light waiting for them.

The two carefully packed the artifacts and ancient books into their backpacks.

Tian Siyao glanced around the altar and then used the jade sword to perform a simple sealing motion to ensure that these precious artifacts would not be easily touched by others.

“Let’s go, a new adventure awaits us.” Chen Ze broke the brief silence, picked up his backpack, and gently took Tian Siyao’s hand.

Tian Siyao nodded, her heart filled with anticipation and unease, but when she saw Chen Ze's confident smile, all her doubts vanished.

The two walked hand in hand out of the altar and embarked on a new journey.

However, they all understood that this was just the beginning, and more unknowns and dangers awaited them.

But no matter how many twists and turns the future may bring, they will stick together and face them together.

Like the jade sword and the colorful pagoda, each shines its own light, yet together they illuminate the path ahead.

Tian Siyao smiled slightly, holding the jade sword, and drew an elegant green light in the air with a twist and turn.

The green light coalesced into a curtain of light, sealing off the exit of the underground altar.

Chen Ze held the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand, tilted his head slightly to observe, and confirmed the barrier function of the light curtain.
"Siyao, your jade sword is indeed extraordinary," Chen Ze exclaimed.

Tian Siyao smiled gently, "Your Yin-Yang Mirror is also very magical; it can see through everything in the netherworld."

Their gazes naturally fell on the other treasures in their hands.

Although he was excited, he maintained a calm expression.

The surrounding environment seemed to have undergone subtle changes because of these treasures; it was an invisible energy fluctuation.

"Did you feel it?" Tian Siyao suddenly asked solemnly.

"Hmm, an unusual atmosphere is quietly approaching." Chen Ze gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

"Did taking these treasures trigger something?" Tian Siyao carefully sensed the atmosphere around her.

“That’s possible.” Chen Ze nodded seriously.

Just then, a blurry figure gradually appeared on the other side of the altar. The figure became clearer and clearer, finally transforming into a hideous, glaring demon. "So it's you two mortals, daring to trespass on my underground altar and steal my treasures!" the glaring demon roared. (End of Chapter)
