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

Just then, the Five-Colored Tower suddenly released a powerful beam of light, directly shattering the dark power of the Ghostly Demon.

The battle between the two humans and one ghost against the Netherworld Demon reached its climax at this moment.

But no one knows how this battle will end.

Chen Ze gripped the multicolored pagoda tightly and took a deep breath.

Before him, the chilling demon struggled painfully, forced back by the various lights emanating from the multicolored tower.

Tian Siyao stood beside Chen Ze, holding a jade sword, the tip of which still retained the cold light of the demon she had just slain.

"It's finally over," Tian Siyao said softly, her bright eyes reflecting the dazzling light of the colorful tower.

Her hair swayed gently in the breeze, as soft as silk.

Chen Ze chuckled lightly, as if relieved, "Yes, this time it really wasn't easy."

Suddenly, the multicolored tower emitted an even more dazzling light, shooting straight into the sky and completely locking the Netherworld Demon within it.

A thick energy emanated from the tower and then slowly merged into Chen Ze and Tian Siyao's bodies.

"The Five-Colored Pagoda seems to have become even more powerful." Chen Ze looked at the magical artifact in his hand with some surprise.

"It seems that capturing the Netherworld Demon has also strengthened the tower's power," Tian Siyao said thoughtfully, then chanted a mind-clearing incantation, infusing a warm current into their hearts.

Chen Ze felt a warmth spread throughout his body, and a sense of relief washed over him.

He looked around. He was deep in a dark forest, where dilapidated ancient trees and sprawling vines created an eerie yet striking scene.

The ancient trees seemed to be whispering, but their whispers were dispelled by the colorful light of the pagoda, just as the morning light dispelled the darkness.

“We should go back and report all this now,” Tian Siyao suggested to Dao Yu, glancing at Chen Ze.

Chen Ze nodded, and then he and Tian Siyao used magic to shrink the Five-Colored Tower and store it in their respective storage bags.

The two walked hand in hand out of the dark forest and began their journey home.

Along the way, Tian Siyao explained the mysteries of the Wind and Cloud Formation from time to time, while Chen Ze shared his insights on how to better control the Five-Colored Pagoda.

Their conversation flowed naturally, allowing them to get to know each other better and filling the entire journey with ease and joy.

However, they also understood that this was just a small victory, and many more unknown challenges awaited them ahead.

But regardless, at least at this moment, they all felt that all the sacrifices were worthwhile.

Just then, Chen Ze suddenly felt the colorful pagoda in his storage bag tremble slightly, as if telling him that the Flame Demon inside was also happy about the success.

This made Chen Ze even more convinced that as long as they had a shared goal, they could achieve final victory no matter how powerful the enemy they faced.

After absorbing the Netherworld Demon, the Five-Colored Tower blossomed like a rainbow, resembling a mythical gem, with each color seemingly containing boundless energy.

The surrounding ghosts and spirits seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force and were gradually sucked into the tower.

Chen Ze stood beside the colorful tower, his gaze sharp, but deep down he was secretly relieved.

He couldn't help but turn to look at Tian Siyao, whose eyes also sparkled with a similar emotion—a mixture of surprise and delight.

"I never imagined this colorful tower could have such a wonderful use, even absorbing the ghosts of the underworld," Chen Ze exclaimed.

Tian Siyao smiled and touched her jade plate, saying softly, "Indeed, we got a great deal this time."

But remember, this area is far from being fully explored, so we cannot let our guard down.

Chen Ze nodded slightly, knowing that Tian Siyao was right. He looked around; the area was filled with intricate formations and strange flows of spiritual energy, like a surreal painting, isolated from the real world.

“The scene here is becoming increasingly bizarre; we need to proceed with caution.” Tian Siyao’s gaze lingered on every detail. She suddenly noticed that inside Chen Ze’s multicolored tower, the Flaming Demon was curiously observing everything outside.

"Yes, I understand."

"The Flame Demon is also watching the changes here, and he will take action if necessary." Chen Ze's voice was low, seemingly carrying a hint of barely perceptible vigilance.

Their conversation was filled with silence and contemplation, but their tacit understanding made it all seem exceptionally smooth.

Just then, Tian Siyao suddenly whispered, "Chen Ze, can you feel it? The spiritual energy here is starting to become unstable."

Chen Ze frowned, stretched out his palm, and a flash of light appeared on the multicolored tower. A warm power swept around, as if trying to find out something.

However, at that moment, a strange laugh suddenly came from afar, a laugh full of mockery and ridicule.

"Hahaha, two uninvited guests, how dare you trespass into the Ghost Realm? Are you tired of living?"

The two immediately went on guard. Tian Siyao gently pinched a jade pendant in her hand, preparing to deal with the impending crisis.

Chen Ze, meanwhile, was secretly preparing to summon the Flame Demon in case of unforeseen circumstances.

"Who goes there?" Chen Ze asked loudly, his voice revealing an unyielding dignity.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough." The strange laughter faded into the distance, but what remained was an increasingly intense sense of unease and crisis.

The two exchanged a glance, both understanding that the road ahead would only become more treacherous.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao walked side by side through the dark and eerie forest.

Their every step was quietly swallowed up by the forest mist, as if they had stepped into another dimension.

The trees here are like ghosts of the night, their roots intertwined, twisted and deformed, exuding a chilling aura.

"It's a place shrouded in ghostly activity," Tian Siyao said softly, gripping the jade sword tightly in her hand. The blade gleamed with a pale green light in the darkness, like jade.

Chen Ze sensed the power of the jade sword in Tian Siyao's hand and also gripped his own magical artifact—the Five-Colored Pagoda.

He said softly, "Yes, but these ghosts don't seem to want to have anything to do with us; they just linger in this land."

Tian Siyao frowned. She lightly tapped the passing shadow with her jade sword, but just like before, it did not elicit any reaction from the other party.

"What exactly is going on?" she asked, puzzled.

“Perhaps in their eyes, we are just passing scenery.” Chen Ze was also puzzled, but he felt that now was not the time to dwell on this issue.

Suddenly, an even more eerie shadow appeared. It was clearly different from the previous shadows. This shadow's body seemed to be made of flames, with a vague humanoid outline.

“This looks a little different,” Tian Siyao said nervously.

Chen Ze nodded. He felt the multicolored pagoda tremble slightly in his hand, as if warning him that danger was about to occur.

He used the Five-Colored Tower to send a beam of multicolored light at the fiery shadow.

Unlike the previous phantom, this fiery phantom seemed to be affected; it stopped and appeared to be "watching" Chen Ze and Tian Siyao.

"Do you think it can talk?" Tian Siyao asked, pointing her jade sword at the fiery shadow, the tip of which glowed with a faint emerald light.

"I don't know, but hopefully we can get some information from it." Chen Ze said, gently waving the Five-Colored Tower. The beam of light shone on the fiery shadow, and the Flame Ghost flew out of the tower.

The Flame Demon stopped beside Chen Ze in the form of a fireball, then "looked" at the fiery shadow, as if engaging in a silent dialogue. (End of Chapter)
