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

A vibrant green light emanated from the plate, and a refreshing aroma filled the air, slowly seeping into the wounded soldiers' bodies. Before long, the wounded soldiers felt their strength being restored.

"What a powerful healing artifact!" Chen Ze exclaimed.

"It's just a tiny bit of power," Tian Siyao said calmly, taking back the jade plate.

Chen Ze felt that he had indeed met a rare ally this time, and a sense of security rose in his heart.

Then, under Tian Siyao's gaze, "Tian Siyao" slowly disappeared.

He glanced at the multicolored pagoda in his hand, then at the jade sword and the jade plate on Tian Siyao's body, and couldn't help but think: if they could combine their magical artifacts and abilities in a reasonable way, perhaps they would have a chance to solve their current predicament.

At that moment, a chilling laugh echoed from the depths of the palace, as if something ominous was about to happen.

However, the addition of "Tian Siyao" seems to have injected new vitality into everyone, and the team's morale has gradually increased.

Tian Siyao walked to Chen Ze's side and whispered, "Are you ready? What's coming next might be even more difficult."

Chen Ze glanced at Tian Siyao and secretly resolved that no matter what difficulties he might encounter next, he would persevere.

"We're ready. Let's face it together." Chen Ze finally spoke, his eyes shining with determination.

Chen Ze gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly in his hand. Through the lens, he saw layers upon layers of ghosts within the palace.

Unlike their previous solitary existences, these ghosts have formed a dense population, each with its own unique form and characteristics.

“The ghosts here form a complete community,” Chen Ze whispered to Tian Siyao beside him.

Tian Siyao nodded gently, holding a small bottle of medicine in her hand.

This is made from pure herbs and is specifically designed to suppress ghostly activity.

She gently opened the bottle cap and sprinkled the medicine into the surrounding air.

Just then, a subtle change gradually appeared in the air.

The ghosts seemed to sense discomfort and gradually quieted down, as if they were bound by some kind of force.

"The effect is good," Tian Siyao smiled slightly and gently put away the jade sword in her hand, and a fresh scent filled the air.

Chen Ze felt somewhat relieved, and he looked around at his surroundings again.

Inside the ancient palace, the various intricate decorations and the mysterious runes inlaid on the walls are exceptionally eye-catching.

All of this underscores the unusual atmosphere of this place.

"Why do you think these ghosts are gathered here?" Tian Siyao suddenly asked.

Chen Ze pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure, but judging from their arrangement and interactions, it seems to have some kind of purpose."

Then they noticed a peculiar ghost, its form slightly different, seemingly possessing some inexplicable majesty.

The ghost's eyes suddenly met Chen Ze's, as if they were exchanging something. A thought struck Chen Ze, and he took out the Five-Colored Pagoda and quietly activated the Flaming Ghost inside.

"What do you think, Flame Demon?" he asked in his mind.

The Flame Demon's voice rang out: "Master, this ghost race is no ordinary being; we must proceed with caution."

Chen Ze nodded and gently put the colorful tower back into his pocket.

“We still have a lot to do,” Tian Siyao said, as she began chanting a mantra to bring more protection to their actions.

The two gazed once more at the temporarily suppressed ghosts, both understanding that this was merely a small episode in the story, and that more unknowns and challenges awaited them.

Yet, at that very moment, a strange sense of peace filled their hearts, as if nothing was impossible as long as they joined hands to overcome unknown difficulties and challenges. Facing the increasingly powerful ghosts and shadows before him, Chen Ze took a deep breath, gripping the Five-Colored Pagoda tightly in his hand.

His eyes were tightly closed, and he prayed in his heart that this time he could drive away those evil spirits of various shapes.

"Are you ready, Chen Ze?" Tian Siyao asked solemnly, gripping the jade sword.

Chen Ze opened his eyes and nodded. "Ready."

My heart is already filled with confidence.

The colorful tower began to rotate, releasing beams of colorful light that floated in the air like rainbows, gradually converging into a huge halo.

The entire interior of the palace seemed to be filled with dazzling light, making people dazzled and mesmerized.

"Wow, what is this?" Tian Siyao exclaimed. With the jade sword in her hand, her gaze was completely drawn to the colorful pagoda.

“This is its full power,” Chen Ze said with a smile, but his eyes never left the approaching ghosts and shadows.

The halo expanded, and every inch of space in the palace was bathed in bright light.

The originally menacing ghosts and shadows gradually dimmed and even began to dissipate under the intense light.

“I feel them retreating.” Tian Siyao’s eyes gleamed. Her jade sword seemed to sense the change in the surrounding energy and became even sharper.

“Not only did they retreat, they were completely driven away.” Chen Ze’s voice carried a hint of solemnity.

Just as they were about to celebrate their victory, a voice suddenly rang in Chen Ze's mind, "Master, I sense a powerful energy approaching. Should I intervene?"

That was the voice of the Flame Demon.

Chen Ze was slightly taken aback, then said, "Not for now, let's observe first."

When Tian Siyao saw Chen Ze suddenly fall silent, she sensed something was wrong. "What happened?"

"It's not clear yet, but I have a feeling this isn't over yet." Chen Ze's gaze became even more serious.

Just then, the colorful tower suddenly trembled, as if it had encountered some indescribable resistance.

A crack appeared in the halo, as if even this all-out attack could not stop the unknown threat that was about to follow.

"We must be prepared to face even greater challenges." Chen Ze gripped the multicolored pagoda tightly, his gaze fixed firmly ahead.

Tian Siyao took a deep breath, raised the jade sword, and said, "Let them come. Whatever it is, we will face it."

The light was still dazzling, but the tense atmosphere was suffocating.

The two stood amidst the halo, seemingly awaiting some kind of fate's judgment, but in any case, they were prepared to face even more severe challenges ahead.

Chen Ze stood in front of the colorful tower, his eyes fixed on the treasures on the tower that had suddenly changed.

The treasures seemed to come alive, releasing dazzling light and heat, making the entire tower resemble a beacon ablaze.

“It seems these treasures are the source of the Ghost Clan,” Chen Ze said to Tian Siyao beside him, his voice filled with inquiry and astonishment.

Tian Siyao held the jade sword and nodded gently. "That's right, this also explains why these ghosts are so persistent in guarding this place."

Chen Ze grasped the Five-Colored Pagoda and felt the treasure's energy surging.

Suddenly, he heard a warning in his mind: "Warning: Unstable power detected within the Five-Colored Tower; stabilization required." (End of Chapter)
