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

Chen Ze looked at the river with a hint of worry and sighed, "It seems we have to find a way to cross, but this river is so turbulent, we must be careful."

Tian Siyao took out her magical artifact, the Jade Disc, and peered into the river, trying to sense the unusual changes within it.

She said softly, "I can try to use the Mind-Enlightening Mantra to explore the secrets of the river."

Chen Ze nodded, his eyes fixed on Tian Siyao's every move, silently praying in his heart.

Tian Siyao closed her eyes and recited the Mind-Enlightening Mantra. Suddenly, a faint blue mist rose above the river.

A few minutes later, Tian Siyao opened her eyes, her expression solemn: "This river is indeed extraordinary. It contains some kind of ancient seal, but I cannot see through the details."

Chen Ze frowned and suggested, "We can go along the riverbank; perhaps we can find a way to cross the river or other clues."

Tian Siyao nodded, and the two decided to walk along the riverbank.

During their journey, they discovered some stone carvings on the riverbank, which were engraved with strange patterns and symbols.

This seems to be some kind of ancient warning or guidance.

Chen Ze tried to decipher the stone carvings, but seemed to have difficulty understanding their meaning. He sighed and said, "These stone carvings must be very important, but I can't understand them." Tian Siyao glanced at them and said softly, "We should record them; perhaps we'll need them later."

The two decided to continue along the riverbank, searching for more clues in hopes of uncovering the secrets of the cave.

The roar of the river accompanied them throughout, like background music in this ancient cemetery, sounding both mysterious and eerie.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao originally thought that the biggest challenge in this cave was finding the exit, but the coiled dragon in front of them made their hearts race and the situation suddenly became tense.

This dragon is different from those in the legends.

Its scales gleamed with a cold light, and its eyes shone with an ancient and profound light, as if its existence had transcended thousands of years.

"Siyao," Chen Ze said nervously in a low voice, "how should we deal with it?"

Tian Siyao gazed at the dragon and took a deep breath: "The dragon is the king of the water. It is not wise to confront it head-on."

But perhaps I can try to soothe it with a gentle breeze spell.

After speaking, Tian Siyao slowly took out the jade sword, the light flowing on the sword reflecting the cold light of the river.

Tian Siyao slowly chanted the Qingfeng incantation, and the light on the jade sword became even stronger, spreading out gently like a breeze and enveloping the dragon.

The dragon's originally ferocious eyes gradually became peaceful. It circled around Tian Siyao and Chen Ze, as if feeling the tranquility brought by the gentle breeze incantation.

Chen Ze felt the atmosphere around him had become much more harmonious. He whispered, "Siyao, you did it!"

Tian Siyao smiled slightly and said, "We have not harmed this place, and the dragon should be able to feel our sincerity."

The dragon slowly swam to the other side of the river, coiled its body, as if laying a bridge for them, indicating that they could move forward.

Chen Ze nodded and said with emotion, "This ancient cave is full of too many unknowns."

This dragon might be the guardian of this cave. Thank you, we were able to continue our journey safely.

The two carefully crossed the bridge formed by the dragon. Tian Siyao said shyly, "Actually, I just happened to know this spell. I didn't expect it to actually work."

Chen Ze smiled and said, "Sometimes, sincerity is more powerful than any weapon."

The two continued along the riverbank, while the dragon watched them go in silence, its eyes seemingly filled with anticipation and blessings.

Just then, the evil spirit suddenly appeared in mid-air.

He used some special magic to make the dragon suddenly become agitated and restless.

The tense atmosphere quickly escalated in the narrow cave.

The peace between the dragon and them had been shattered; its scales gleamed with a cold light, as if determined to attack the two. The dragon let out a deafening roar, shaking the rocks in the cave.

Chen Ze drew the Qingfeng Sword almost instinctively. A faint green light rippled across the sword, as if the essence of the wind had been condensed within it.

Just as he was trying to calm himself down, the Flame Demon flew out of the Five-Colored Tower, its scorching flames sweeping over him like a storm.

Upon seeing this, Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly, its tip pointing at the dragon, radiating a chilling aura.

"Chen Ze, we must join forces; this dragon is no ordinary creature."

The Flame Demon and the Flood Dragon clashed for the first time. The collision of flames and water created steam, making the entire cave feel like a steamer, with moisture and heat mingling together.

The Flame Demon should stay as far away from the water as possible and attack the upper body of the dragon with flames.

Chen Ze wielded the Qingfeng Sword, each swing accompanied by a gentle breeze, while the dragon retaliated with its scales and sharp teeth.

Every time the Qingfeng Sword clashed with the dragon's scales, it produced a melodious clanging sound.

Tian Siyao nimbly circled behind the dragon and stabbed it in its vital spot with her jade sword.

But the dragon was clearly not an easy opponent to defeat, and it cleverly used its tail to strike Tian Siyao.

Seeing this, the Flame Demon rushed towards the Flood Dragon, trying to help Tian Siyao share some of the pressure. Its flames were like a fire dragon, and it engaged in a fierce battle with the Flood Dragon in the air.

"Siyao, how are you?" Chen Ze shouted after a confrontation.

"I'm fine. We need to find its weakness!" Tian Siyao's eyes gleamed with determination as she clashed with the dragon once more.

The intensity of the battle exceeded their expectations; the dragon's power and speed were astonishing.

But neither Chen Ze nor Tian Siyao intended to back down. They clung tightly to each other and engaged in a desperate struggle with the giant beast in the cave.

The evil spirit simply hovered in mid-air, watching with a smirk.

They don't participate in the battle at all.

During the fierce battle inside the cave, Tian Siyao's eyes grew increasingly resolute.

She murmured the mantra to enlighten her mind, and clear, bright incantations floated out, connecting her closely with the jade sword.

Guided by her, the jade sword transformed into a dazzling rain of swords, each small sword carrying a cold, sharp edge as it pierced towards the dragon.

However, the dragon is not an easy enemy to deal with.

Whenever the small sword pierced its body, it only left a shallow wound, which then healed quickly.

The dragon's aura was exceptionally powerful, like a hard protective shield, protecting it from external harm.

Chen Ze frowned as he watched this scene.

He knew that Tian Siyao's jade sword alone would probably not be enough to inflict fatal damage on the dragon.

He brandished the Qingfeng Sword, trying to find a weakness in the dragon.

"Siyao, you focus on its right wing, I'll take care of its left side!" Chen Ze shouted.

Upon hearing this, Tian Siyao immediately adjusted her battle strategy.

She and Chen Ze formed a pincer attack. Although they attacked from different positions, their cooperation was seamless.

The dragon seemed to have sensed their strategy and became more cunning, circling in the air from time to time, trying to avoid Tian Siyao and Chen Ze's attacks. However, the two had found its rhythm and gradually suppressed the dragon. (End of Chapter)
