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

Tian Siyao also sensed this change, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She gripped the jade sword tightly, as if she could feel the power contained within the sword increasing.

“Our strength has improved,” Tian Siyao said with a smile, full of anticipation for future adventures.

Chen Ze nodded. They were now stronger and would be able to face more challenges and explore more mysterious places.

It seems that I, and even Tian Siyao, have become more connected with the Five-Colored Tower.

As the power of the Five-Colored Tower increased, their abilities also increased.

This is truly an unexpected surprise!

Their improved abilities can also contribute to the improvement of the Five-Colored Tower's abilities.

The advantage is that everyone can make progress together.

The downside is, of course, that when several people share a meal, the portion that gets to be shared will inevitably be much smaller.

Chen Ze grasped Tian Siyao's hand.

Their adventure has only just begun, and the future is full of unknowns, but they are ready to face anything.

Chen Ze stood there, his heart filled with shock.

He finally realized that there was a mysterious connection between the four of them: the Flaming Ghost, the Five-Colored Tower, him, and Tian Siyao. Their cultivation had almost merged into one.

“This is unbelievable,” he murmured, his eyes flashing with surprise.

He could sense that the Flame Demon's improvement was not just an individual improvement, but a strengthening of the entire team.

Tian Siyao also sensed this, and her eyes revealed surprise and excitement.

She gently shook the jade sword in her hand, as if wanting to verify this magical phenomenon.

"Chen Ze, what's going on?" She turned to Chen Ze with a curious expression.

Chen Ze smiled slightly and began to explain this strange phenomenon.

"It seems there is some special connection between us."

As the Flame Demon's strength increases, it seems to affect the Five-Colored Tower, myself, and you as well.

This means we can grow together and become stronger. The Flame Demon hovered in the air, as if responding to their words.

Chen Zen could sense that the Flame Demon was also happy about this discovery.

“This is wonderful,” Tian Siyao said excitedly, already looking forward to the adventures to come.

Their team is no longer an individual addition, but a unified multiplication, which will make them more invincible in the face of various challenges.

Chen Ze nodded. They were no longer just partners, but a whole, a trio that would travel together to explore the unknown world and embrace more adventures.

This discovery has filled their future with endless possibilities.

Having defeated Kuiba and gained enhanced strength, Chen Ze stood deep within the tomb, his heart filled with an unprecedented confidence.

His eyes were resolute, determined to continue his exploration and discover more of the unknown world.

“We still have many unsolved mysteries waiting for us,” he said to Tian Siyao, his voice filled with determination.

"This tomb is full of mystery and danger, but we have become stronger."

Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly, her eyes hardening. "Yes, we are ready. Whatever challenges lie ahead, we can face them."

The Flame Demon hovered around them, seemingly conveying support and confidence. Chen Ze could sense that the connection between the three of them had become stronger, making their team even more formidable.

During their exploration, they discovered eerie markings, heard strange noises, and even saw the shadows of ghosts.

These sights filled them with both tension and excitement, because they meant they were heading towards a deeper secret.

“We must be careful,” Chen Ze cautioned, his Yin-Yang Mirror emitting a faint glow in his hand, helping them to spot the dangers lurking in the shadows. “But no matter what happens, we must unite and face it together.”

Tian Siyao nodded. Her jade sword was ready, and she could slay demons and monsters at any time.

Their mutual understanding and trust filled them with confidence.

This expedition team, consisting of Chen Ze, Tian Siyao, and Lieyan Gui, continues forward, determined to uncover more mysteries deep within the tomb and meet even greater challenges.

Their adventure has only just begun, and the future is full of endless possibilities.

By noon, Chen Ze and his group had left the ancient tomb complex and returned to the county town.

Chen Ze stepped into a shop selling Buddhist artifacts, where all sorts of ancient and simple Buddhist artifacts were displayed around him.

His gaze lingered on these mysterious objects, as if he could sense the power they contained.

Zhao Ming noticed Chen Ze's arrival.

When the two looked at each other, they smiled knowingly, as if they shared a special understanding.

Zhao Ming walked up to a Nine-Turn Soul-Splitting Spear, shook his head slightly, and picked it up.

His voice was deep and thoughtful: "Chen Ze, although your current strength is already quite remarkable, if you want to challenge yourself to reach even greater heights, I suggest you go to the nearby Mount Xuantuo."

Chen Ze was slightly surprised; Zhao Ming's words revealed a complex emotion. He wanted to ask more, but Zhao Ming had already handed him the Nine Revolutions Soul Splitter Spear, as if unwilling to say anything more.

"Hanging Camel Mountain?" Chen Ze murmured, a strong sense of curiosity welling up inside him.

He trusted Zhao Ming completely, knowing that the other party wouldn't give advice easily.

This inexplicable connection seems to be a mystery between them, a mystery waiting to be unraveled.

Although their conversation was brief, it was full of profound meaning.

Chen Ze knew that more adventures and challenges awaited him ahead, and Mount Xuantuo might be his next destination.

This filled them with anticipation.

This reunion filled him with anticipation for future adventures.

Zhao Ming's words deeply shocked Chen Ze.

He looked at Zhao Ming and found that Zhao Ming's eyes revealed a firm obsession, as well as helplessness towards his fate.

"A curse?" Chen Ze asked softly, sensing Zhao Ming's anguish.

Zhao Ming nodded, then took a deep breath and began to tell his story.

“Once, I went to Mount Xuantuo, hoping to find some precious magical artifacts there.”

However, there was a group of monsters in the mountains who attacked me. Although I survived, I was cursed by them.

Since then, my cultivation level has been unable to improve, and I have hit a bottleneck.

My life feels like being trapped in an inescapable cage.

"So only when those monsters are killed by the ghost-catching master can my curse stop..." Zhao Ming's voice was full of helplessness and frustration.

Chen Ze deeply understood Zhao Ming's pain.

The path of cultivation for a practitioner is inherently full of hardships and difficulties, and being cursed is an unbearable torment.

He decided to help Zhao Ming break free of the curse because he knew it was also his mission.

"I will go to Mount Xuantuo to help you eliminate those monsters and lift your curse." Chen Ze solemnly promised, determined to complete this arduous task, not only to help Zhao Ming, but also to pursue a higher path of cultivation.

Zhao Ming looked at Chen Ze gratefully, his eyes shining with hope.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao decided to join forces and head to Mount Xuantuo to face the unknown challenges that lay ahead. (End of Chapter)
