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

Tian Siyao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to walk towards the box closest to her.

"Wait!" Qin Miyue quickly grabbed Tian Siyao's hand. "We must now concentrate on dealing with the impending danger."

"We can save the treasure for later."

Despite her disappointment, Tian Siyao nodded in agreement.

"Okay, safety is the most important thing."

Just then, a violent tremor came again, and the Hall of Echoes seemed about to collapse.

The three of them felt the entire underground cavity trembling, as if some enormous creature was about to emerge.

Chen Ze gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

"We don't have much time; we must act as soon as possible."

Tian Siyao glanced at the mysterious boxes, her heart still filled with regret.

She knew now was not the time to think about the treasure.

Just as the three were about to leave the underground cavity, a huge behemoth suddenly appeared in front of them.

This monster, known as the "Rockbone Beast," has a massive body and skin as hard as rock, shimmering with an eerie blue light in the darkness.

Tian Siyao was surprised and astonished, not expecting such a huge creature to appear.

She immediately took a few steps back, remaining alert.

Qin Miyue immediately cast a spell to trap the Rock Bone Beast.

At the same time, Chen Ze rushed forward and swung his sword at the monster.

The sword flashed, and sparks flew.

Chen Ze used his extensive knowledge of swordsmanship to get close to the monster and plunged his sword into its body.

The Rock Bone Beast let out a deafening roar, but Chen Ze did not back down.

Qin Miyue watched the battle from the sidelines. She quickly adjusted the protective barrier and unleashed more magical attacks.

The monster was trapped and also suffered severe damage.

Seeing this, Tian Siyao decided to make use of her strengths.

She leaped up and deciphered the runes carved all over the wall.

These runes concealed the weaknesses of the Rock Bone Beast, and Tian Siyao quickly relayed this information to Qin Miyue and Chen Ze.

The three worked together seamlessly and efficiently.

They attacked while the rock-bone beast was catching its breath and struck the monster's weak point.

The monster roared and shook its body, trying to break free of its restraints.

However, under the relentless attack of the three, it finally collapsed, unable to withstand the onslaught.

The entire underground cavity fell silent, with only the three people's breathing echoing between them.

They overcame the behemoth, protecting themselves and fulfilling their mission to explore the ancient tomb.

Qin Miyue took a deep breath and frowned.

"This rock bone beast is truly powerful; I never expected such a great challenge."

Chen Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "We cooperated well, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to defeat it."

"Tian Siyao, you must also take good care of yourself."

Tian Siyao nodded, looking gratefully at her two companions.

"Thank you for your reminder and support. We still have a long way to go and must remain vigilant."

The three of them exchanged a smile and readjusted themselves.

They knew what lay ahead was fraught with unknowns and dangers. After defeating the Rockbone Beast.

A mysterious atmosphere permeated the hall.

The walls were covered with ancient runes and patterns, radiating a strange energy fluctuation.

Tian Siyao's heart raced; she felt as if her body resonated strangely with the hall.

She stopped in front of the coffin containing the demon, because she heard a faint murmur.

"This is... the king's voice." Tian Siyao bit her lower lip excitedly. Qin Miyue and Chen Ze also came over; they could also feel the eerie atmosphere brought by this voice.

They stared at the corpse inside the Demon-Sealing Coffin, which emanated mysterious energy fluctuations, and couldn't help but make many guesses.

"Could it be... that this is really an ancient monarch himself?" Chen Ze rubbed his forehead, a hint of surprise showing between his brows.

Tian Siyao nodded in agreement, "Judging from the robes and crown he's wearing, he doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"And this mysterious fluctuation... there's no mistake."

Why is this king lying in an ancient tomb?

Qin Miyue raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing.

As Tian Siyao continued to decipher the runes inscribed on the hall, she gradually sketched out a complex and vast historical picture.

Ancient monarchs led powerful kingdoms, but lost themselves in war and desire, using their power to create countless historical legends.

However, after his death, people revered his power and sealed him in this Hall of Echoes as a memorial and a warning.

Tian Siyao and Chen Ze exchanged a quick glance.

This monarch had a special connection with Tian Siyao.

Although the two did not understand the reason, they knew that this mysterious force could not be easily ignored.

"Perhaps we can find relevant clues from this monarch."

Chen Ze suggested, "Tian Siyao, your abilities might be able to unlock this mystery."

Tian Siyao nodded, walked closer to the Demon-Sealing Coffin, and gently touched it.

Suddenly, a powerful energy surged from the Demon-Sealing Coffin, enveloping her body.

She felt as if she had entered a world filled with echoes and ancient memories.

In this sea of ​​consciousness, Tian Siyao saw various images flash by.

She witnessed the glorious moments of ancient kings ruling their kingdoms, and she also saw his loneliness and longing.

He hoped to find a power to save himself and the kingdom.

Tian Siyao felt an increasingly strong connection between herself and the king.

She knew she had to keep going and uncover more historical truths.

After experiencing a wondrous connection with an ancient monarch.

They stood together solemnly and respectfully.

“We are prepared to continue our in-depth investigation into this king’s background,” Tian Siyao said firmly.

Qin Miyue nodded, then frowned. "But we should be careful and not touch anything inside the Sealed Demon Coffin."

"It may contain more energy than we imagine."

Chen Ze patted his chest, his expression resolute. "That's right, we need to protect ourselves to move forward."

"However, we should now formulate a plan of action for the next step."

The three began to discuss how to explore the Hall of Echoes more deeply.

Tian Siyao explained, "Based on my previous observations, I discovered that this hall has many hidden mechanisms and symbols."

"If we can interpret them correctly, they should give us more clues."

Qin Miyue nodded. "Then let's start with these mechanisms and symbols."

"You take care of the interpretation, and we'll assist you."

Tian Siyao nodded. She looked around and found that the walls were covered with a series of complex runes and patterns.

At first, it looked like a fog, but with her keen insight, she gradually began to discern the patterns within it.

A few hours later, with Tian Siyao's guidance, the three of them successfully solved the first puzzle.

An opening in the wall slowly opened, revealing a secret passage leading deep underground.

Qin Miyue gripped her staff tightly, her expression grave. "We must be careful of any traps around us."

"This is, after all, the place where the ancient king was sealed away."

Chen Ze gripped the sword hilt tightly. "I will protect both of you." (End of Chapter)
