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

"Alright, Flame Demon!" Chen Ze gripped the Five-Colored Pagoda tightly in his hand, and the pagoda immediately emitted a colorful light, like a rainbow bridge spanning between the afterimage and the Flame Demon.

The afterimage struggled more and more violently within the circle of flames, like a fish caught in a trap.

Its face was filled with despair and resentment, but the power of the flames was like a cage, binding all its ways out.

Tian Siyao stood to the side, holding the jade sword, her eyes sparkling with approval.

She whispered a mantra to enlighten her mind, and a green light immediately shone from the sword, as if celebrating the impending victory.

"Absorb it!" Chen Ze shouted in his heart, and the Five-Colored Pagoda immediately emitted an even more dazzling light, like countless small suns exploding in the darkness.

"No—" The afterimage let out a shrill scream, but the sound was completely swallowed up by the dazzling light of the multicolored tower.

The afterimage gradually blurred, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke, which was slowly absorbed by the multicolored tower.

The Flame Demon withdrew its flames and then retreated back into the tower, as if it had completed its mission.

Throughout the process, the colorful tower shimmered with dazzling light, like a magnificent sight, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding dilapidated and dark environment.

"Well done, Flame Demon." Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and the five-colored pagoda in his hand slowly withdrew its light, returning to its ordinary appearance.

Tian Siyao walked over and smiled, "This time it was truly a close call. Without your and Flame Ghost's help, I can hardly imagine what would have happened."

Chen Ze smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your timely intervention; otherwise, the situation might not have been so easy to control."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, then looked around.

The dilapidated environment contrasted sharply with the tense battle that had just taken place, as if a good show had come to an end, but the stage remained broken.

"Let's keep going. The road ahead is long, and who knows what we'll encounter?" Tian Siyao sheathed her jade sword, her eyes resolute.

Chen Ze nodded and put the colorful pagoda back into his arms.

He knew that although the battle had been successful, the road ahead was long and full of unknowns.

"Wow, Chen Ze, your Five-Colored Tower is truly amazing! And the Flame Demon's abilities are beyond our imagination!" Tian Siyao waved the jade sword in her hand, her face full of excitement and admiration.

Chen Ze smiled slightly and stroked his colorful pagoda as if communicating with it.

This battle made him cherish even more the magical artifact that had been with him for so long, as well as the Flame Demon inside the tower.

The tower's dazzling colors appeared even more vibrant under the setting sun, like a miniature rainbow.

Tian Siyao glanced at the silent Youhan Demon beside her, then whispered to Chen Ze, "It seems that Youhan Demon has really learned his lesson this time. He probably won't be so reckless in the future."

Yes, failure is the mother of success.

"This experience will make us all more mature and better understand the importance of teamwork," Chen Ze responded, his eyes sparkling with maturity and wisdom.

Upon hearing these words, the ghostly demon felt a warmth flow through his heart.

He knew that his actions almost caused the team to fail, but he also understood that failure itself was not terrible; what was terrible was not knowing how to reflect on it.

He decided that he must be more cautious in the future.

Tian Siyao slowly sheathed the jade sword, and the spell quietly dissipated.

Tian Siyao looked around. The mysterious patterns carved into the dark stone wall shimmered faintly in the gloom. This ancient tomb was filled with an indescribable sense of mystery and oppression.

"Yes, this tomb raiding operation has indeed made us more vigilant, but it has also strengthened our resolve."

“That’s right.” Chen Ze also put away his multicolored pagoda, quietly storing it in his storage bag. Then he touched the Flame Demon, as if saying goodbye.

Everyone began to organize their equipment, preparing to continue deeper into the tomb.

Tian Siyao carefully placed the jade sword back into its sheath. At the same time, she silently recited a gentle breeze incantation. A breeze blew by, as if offering the best blessing for the adventure to come.

Just then, Chen Ze suddenly stopped, turned to look at his team members, and said, "Everyone, be careful, there may be more unknown dangers ahead. We need to maintain the highest level of vigilance."

Everyone must clearly understand their responsibilities and mission.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, their expressions becoming even more serious.

Everyone, including the ghostly demons, seemed to have gained a new understanding.

As time passed and night fell, shadows crept in.

But everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, as long as the team is closely united, no difficulty is insurmountable.

Following the winding, dark passage, Chen Ze, Tian Siyao, and the other team members made steady progress.

As she walked, Tian Siyao casually brushed away the dirt under her feet and discovered a piece of bright jade, which emitted the unique luster of a gemstone in the dim light.

Tian Siyao smiled slightly and said, "This place is not simple. What does this jade mean here?" Chen Ze nodded, deeply agreeing, and continued on his way.

Suddenly, the air seemed to thicken, and both of them felt suffocated.

Just then, the scene before them suddenly changed dramatically, as if they had entered another dimension.

Before us lies a vast cave with a river hundreds of meters wide flowing through its center. The roar of the water is deafening, and it appears to be surging and powerful, as if nothing and no one can stop its advance.

Chen Ze gently brandished his Qingfeng Sword, attempting to detect any potential threats in the area.

However, there was no hostility in the river.

On the contrary, it seemed to be inviting them to cross it and explore the other side of the river. Tian Siyao touched the jade sword at her waist and whispered to Chen Ze, "This river looks dangerous, but I feel that it hides some kind of secret."

Just as the two were hesitating, a cold laugh came from afar.

A cold voice said, "Want to cross the river? Then give it a try." Suddenly, several huge columns of water rose from the river, each with a ghostly figure on it—the chilling evil spirit.

A resolute glint flashed in Chen Ze's eyes; he knew now was not the time to hesitate.

He said to Tian Siyao, "Be careful, we must fight them together."

After saying that, Chen Ze waved the Yin-Yang Mirror, trying to identify the true identities of these eerie and malevolent spirits.

Tian Siyao then chanted the Mind-Enlightening Mantra, and the jade sword immediately emitted a dazzling light.

The two fought side by side, engaging in a fierce battle against these evil spirits.

During the battle, Chen Ze's left arm was struck hard by a chilling evil spirit, and he was instantly injured.

At this moment, "Tian Siyao" appeared inside the colorful tower and healed Chen Ze's injuries.

The real Tian Siyao was filled with mixed emotions upon seeing this scene, but she knew that at this moment, she had to fight these evil spirits with all her might.

Through their seamless teamwork, the two gradually subdued the chilling evil spirits. Although the road ahead was long, they both knew that as long as they remained united, they could overcome any difficulty they encountered. (End of Chapter)
