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

Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze huddled together, their brows furrowed, their faces showing anxiety and worry.

They began to speculate whether the shamans around Lotus Village had enough magic power to undo the disturbance caused by the evil spirit.

"Based on previous explorations, the black substance remaining in these ancient tombs is probably not just caused by evil spirits."

Tian Siyao frowned and said, "Someone is manipulating the whole thing behind the scenes."

"Yes, the black substance is controlled by this secret technique."

“We need to find those mysterious forces hiding behind the scenes as soon as possible.” Qin Miyue clenched her fists. “Otherwise, this place will become even more dangerous.”

Chen Ze listened silently to their discussion, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He realized that his injuries had severely affected his mobility and combat effectiveness.

“I’m afraid we might not be able to solve this problem on our own.” Chen Ze paused. “We need to seek support from a higher level.”

Tian Siyao looked around and was stunned.

“Wizards! There must be powerful wizards around Lotus Village.”

She looked at Qin Miyue and Chen Ze, "I remember my grandfather once mentioned that the wizards of Duoyun Temple possessed powerful magic, perhaps they can help us unravel the secret."

Qin Miyue thought for a moment and nodded.

"It's a good idea to go and take a look at Duoyun Temple."

Chen Ze knew they were right.

They need to find answers as soon as possible, otherwise the crisis will only get worse.

"Then let's go to Duoyun Temple! Time is of the essence for us."

The three arrived outside Lotus Village.

The villagers were gathered together, discussing the matter animatedly, their faces filled with anxiety and fear.

Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze bypassed the crowd and headed towards Duoyun Temple at the foot of the mountain.

They climbed up the winding mountain path to the top of the mountain and finally saw the outline of the temple.

Duoyun Temple is an ancient and mysterious building, surrounded by lush trees and picturesque landscapes.

They entered the temple and saw an elderly shaman meditating in the courtyard.

"Respected wizard, we have encountered some trouble and hope you can help us." Tian Siyao bowed respectfully to the wizard.

The wizard opened his eyes and looked at the three of them.

His eyes revealed wisdom and composure.

“You’re from Lotus Village, aren’t you? I know the problems you’re facing,” he said calmly. “The problems are more serious than you think.”

Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze felt a chill run down their spines.

They knew they had come to the right place. "May I ask, what do you know about this black substance?" Qin Miyue asked.

The wizard nodded slightly.

"This black substance is the power of evil magic, which ordinary people cannot unravel."

“Its power can only be weakened through specific incantations and magical artifacts.” He gazed at the three men. “But that’s not the most worrying thing.”

Tian Siyao couldn't help but ask, "Then what's the most worrying thing?"

The wizard sighed deeply, "The black substance is not just staying in the ancient tomb; it is spreading rapidly towards Lotus Village."

"If we don't find a powerful force to seal it, the entire village will be destroyed."

Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze looked solemn, their eyes revealing worry.

Previous speculations were wrong; there was human intervention, and the evil spirit may have been able to leave the ancient tomb.

After saying goodbye to the wizard.

The three of them moved toward the foot of Lotus Mountain in perfect unison.

After a long and rugged mountain road, they arrived at a tranquil and beautiful lotus garden.

Sunlight filters through the leaves and falls to the ground, while the fragrance of lotus blossoms wafts through the air in the gentle breeze.

"This lotus garden is truly beautiful," Tian Siyao exclaimed softly. "If it weren't for all that filth damaging it, it would be a wonderful tourist attraction."

Everyone nodded, but they knew now was not the time to talk about these things.

Qin Miyue and Chen Ze also hoped that some key clues would appear in the Lotus Garden.

They all knew that this place might be hiding something they needed.

“We should try to find this herb through careful searching,” Qin Miyue suggested. “Every lotus petal deserves our close observation.”

The three of them quietly split up and searched the entire lotus garden.

Their eyes were focused, hoping to find the blue lotus with healing properties.

Suddenly, Chen Ze saw a lotus flower growing exceptionally lushly in the sunlight.

"Everyone come and see!" he shouted excitedly.

Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue rushed over and found that this lotus was much larger than the others, and its petals had a faint golden glow.

Excitement and hope shone in their eyes.

“This must be the blue lotus!” Tian Siyao said happily. “The wizard was right after all.”

Chen Ze carefully picked several lotus leaves and gently stroked them with his hands.

"Hopefully this will help with my injury." His eyes revealed expectation and pleading.

Qin Miyue then took out a small medicine box and carefully placed the lotus leaf she had broken off into it.

“Let’s go back and give it a try,” she said encouragingly.

The three of them left the Lotus Garden and walked through the dense forest in the sunlight back to Lotus Village.

The crowd was still buzzing with discussion, a sense of unease hanging over the village. "I hope this lotus grass can truly heal the injured villagers," Tian Siyao prayed softly.

Qin Miyue gripped the medicine box tightly in her hand and silently recited a few incantations towards the black substance placed on the table.

She hoped that this time they could make progress and resolve all these problems.

Chen Ze carefully applied lotus grass to his wounds and began to receive Tian Siyao's healing.

He is purging the resurgent evil spirits from his body.

He felt the warmth flowing from the herbs, as if a new life force was surging within his wound.

Suddenly, Chen Ze felt his body enveloped by a warm power.

He opened his eyes and saw that his wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pain gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of fulfillment and peace.

"The blue lotus is truly amazing!" Chen Ze exclaimed in surprise. "My injuries have completely healed!"

Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

"We need to hurry and find out the secret behind the black substance," Qin Miyue said.

A few days later.

Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze arrived at Duoyun Temple together.

The temple had a solemn and dignified atmosphere, with dim and soft lighting that inspired awe.

They looked around and found that the temple housed a huge statue of a deity.

This deity sits on a lotus, holding a sword, with a solemn expression.

The three men stared uneasily at the statue of the deity, as if hoping to find some revelation within it.

Chen Ze asked Gui Yue, "Can we find clues or obtain some information by worshipping the gods?"

Guiyue remained silent and did not directly answer his request.

A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze could all sense each other's anxiety and their determination to find answers. (End of Chapter)
