My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom
Chapter 782 The Gem is Heating
The three continued walking forward, and the air inside the tomb seemed to grow increasingly heavy.
At the end of the corridor appeared a spacious stone chamber, filled with intricate carvings and dense runes.
Chen Ze said softly, "Is this the core of the tomb? Look at the arrangement of these runes..."
Qin Miyue interrupted him: "No, look at the direction of these runes. This isn't the core; it's a sealed stone chamber. We must find a way to break the seal to enter the core."
There seemed to be something on the stone platform in the center of the stone chamber, but it was surrounded by an inexplicable force. The three of them walked around the stone platform, trying to find clues to break the seal.
Tian Siyao reached out and touched the layer of power. Suddenly, the seal on the stone platform emitted a blinding light, and the stone chamber began to shake.
The tremors within the stone chamber grew stronger, as if an ancient roar echoed from the depths. Dust fell from the ceiling, drifting into the air and forming a thin mist. The shadows of the three figures intertwined and twisted in the flickering lamplight, appearing exceptionally deep and mysterious.
Qin Miyue frowned, her fingertips lightly tracing the edge of that mysterious power: "The power of this seal is ancient and stubborn. We need to find the right method, otherwise forcibly breaking it will only cause greater danger."
Tian Siyao's expression changed slightly. She took a step back and scanned her surroundings warily: "We have to hurry. This tremor might attract something we don't want to see."
Chen Ze's sword tip lightly touched the ground, his gaze sharp: "Mi Yue, what's your plan? We can't linger here any longer."
Qin Miyue's hand stopped on a peculiar symbol, and a glimmer of discovery shone in her eyes: "This symbol is a pair with the trembling symbol on the wall. There must be a connection between them."
Tian Siyao quickly walked to Qin Miyue's side and observed carefully: "You mean, we can find clues to break the seal through this symbol?"
Qin Miyue nodded and explained softly, "I've read about this in ancient books. Such double symbols are usually an ancient unlocking mechanism. They are unlocked by corresponding harmonious vibrations."
Chen Ze tapped the hilt of his sword lightly, considering, "So what do we need to do? Should we touch both symbols at the same time?"
Qin Miyue took a deep breath, her gaze resolute: "Yes, we need to split up. I'll stay here, you go find that symbol, and we'll try to trigger them simultaneously."
The three had a clear division of labor. Tian Siyao and Chen Ze quickly returned to their previous path, searching for the mark that corresponded to the symbol on the stone platform. The tremors in the stone chamber continued, as if something was awakening deep within.
Light began to intertwine at the center of the altar, forming a complex energy pattern. The vibrations of the array subsided, as if in response to their efforts.
Suddenly, a powerful surge of energy erupted from the center of the altar, crashing against the three of them like a giant wave. They nearly lost their balance, but clung tightly to the stone pillar, steadfastly maintaining their magical input.
"Don't give up!" Chen Ze gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly, but his eyes were firm.
Qin Miyue frowned deeply, pouring all her magical power into the formation to stabilize the situation: "Hold on a little longer, and we'll be able to break the seal!"
Tian Siyao's voice was firm and strong: "No matter what happens, we cannot back down!"
The three worked together more and more seamlessly, their magical power flowing into the stone pillar like a tidal wave, and the powerful energy impacted the core of the formation.
A vortex of light formed in the center of the altar, and the array reacted more and more violently, as if in its final struggle.
Suddenly, the light in the center of the altar burst forth with a blinding brilliance, and the powerful shockwave sent the three of them flying several steps. They crashed to the ground, panting heavily, but by then the formation had been completely dispelled.
The three slowly stood up, watching the changes in the center of the altar. The originally complex symbols and patterns on the altar had gradually disappeared, replaced by an ancient gemstone that emitted a mysterious light.
Chen Ze stepped forward, carefully removed the gemstone, and held it in his hand.
Gemstones have a smooth, jade-like surface, yet they contain boundless wisdom and power.
"This is its goal." Qin Miyue's voice was filled with awe. "This gem contains ancient wisdom. It is sealed here, waiting for the destined person to arrive."
Tian Siyao reached out and took the gemstone, her eyes reflecting its deep blue brilliance.
“It’s as if a secret from thousands of years is sealed inside,” she said softly, her fingers gently stroking the smooth surface of the gemstone.
Chen Ze remained vigilant, his sword tip still pointing at the center of the altar. "Mi Yue, are you sure the formation has been completely dispelled?" He scanned the surroundings, fearing that something unexpected might suddenly appear.
Qin Miyue let out a long breath, her eyes revealing relief and exhaustion.
“Yes, the formation has stopped working. It should be safe here now.” She slowly stood up, her brows relaxed.
The three exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with a shared sense of accomplishment. However, Tian Siyao suddenly frowned, and the gem in her hand seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
"The gem is getting hot, what's going on?" Tian Siyao asked nervously, holding the gem tightly in her hand, as if trying to sense the changes inside it.
Chen Ze stepped forward and looked closer with concern.
"Could there be some kind of trap?" His voice was unease, but he still held the sword tightly.
Qin Miyue observed carefully, her expression serious.
"No, this should be the energy inside the gem awakening."
It may require synchronization with a specific element or energy source.
She frowned, trying to understand this sudden change.
Tian Siyao's breathing was slightly rapid.
What do we need to do to prevent it from overheating?
She asked, clearly worried about this unexpected development.
Qin Miyue pondered for a moment.
"Let me do it."
She reached out and gently took the gem from Tian Siyao's hand.
Qin Miyue closed her eyes and began to softly chant some kind of incantation. The gem in her hand gradually cooled down and returned to its previous temperature.
Chen Ze and Tian Siyao both breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Ze looked up and surveyed his surroundings. He saw various patterns carved on the walls of the stone chamber, all ancient and complex runes. "These patterns must be related to gemstones; they might be the key to deciphering the information about the gemstones," Chen Ze guessed.
Tian Siyao nodded in agreement. "We should study these patterns carefully; perhaps we can find more information about the gemstones." Her eyes were full of curiosity as she walked towards the wall and began to examine it closely.
Just then, the atmosphere inside the stone chamber suddenly changed. The previously still air seemed to begin to flow again, and a faint energy fluctuation made the three of them involuntarily tense up.
Chen Ze gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes rapidly searching for any potential threats in the darkness.
"Something's coming, everyone be careful!" he warned.
Qin Miyue and Tian Siyao quickly prepared for battle.
Chen Ze's sword tip trembled slightly, revealing his inner tension.
"Don't scatter, everyone, stay close together," he whispered to his two companions, his voice echoing in the stone chamber.
Qin Miyue and Tian Siyao immediately obeyed the instructions, standing side by side to form a small defensive circle. (End of Chapter)
