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

"Hmph! It seems you're prepared to fight to the bitter end."

The master of Youmu Valley sneered, "Too bad, you can't stop us at all."

"No!" Tian Siyao couldn't help but shout, "We will never let you succeed!"

Just as the two were about to fight the master of Youmu Valley, Tian Siyao seized the opportunity and left with Chen Ze.

Now is not the time for them to dwell on these things.

Not long after the two left, Chen Ze received a tip from the mysterious scholar and was introduced to an adventure film crew.

The production team and lead actors were searching for the legendary "Forgotten Scriptures".

The plan is to film on location at the Sea of ​​Despair in the southern border region.

Chen Ze's thoughts were in complete disarray; he couldn't comprehend what secrets the book "Forgotten Scriptures" truly held.

He suspected that the old man Lin had deceived him and concealed the truth about the scriptures.

But at the same time, he was also puzzled by his own judgment.

The old man in front of him seemed to have read Chen Ze's doubts and smiled, "Young man, you have misunderstood me."

“I have never hidden the Forgotten Scriptures; it is just a legend.”

"A legend?" Chen Ze frowned. "But why would they value this book so much? Why would they go deep into the desert to find it?"

The old man Lin smiled and said, "Some people believe that the Forgotten Scriptures can reveal lost ancient powers, possessing infinite wisdom and strength."

"But in reality, no one in this world can guarantee its authenticity."

"Then why do you still consider it a goal?" Tian Siyao asked curiously.

After a moment of contemplation, the old man revealed a bitter expression: "Because my friend once tried his best to find the Forgotten Scriptures, but eventually disappeared in the desert."

"I want to find it, and also to give them an explanation."

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao exchanged a meaningful glance, both sensing the unwavering resolve in each other's hearts.

“Regardless of whether the scriptures exist or not, we will support you in your search for the truth,” Chen Ze encouraged.

The old man smiled slightly, expressing his gratitude for their determination: "Perhaps you can find some clues related to the Forgotten Scriptures in this adventure crew."

"An adventure film crew?" Tian Siyao was a little surprised. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Soon after, in a jeep, Chen Ze, Tian Siyao, and Qin Miyue were heading towards the Sea of ​​Despair on the southern border, the destination of the adventure film crew.

The Sea of ​​Despair is a mysterious and dangerous place, said to hide countless ancient ruins and unsolved mysteries.

The production team leader explained that one page of "The Forgotten Scriptures" contains information about a ruin somewhere in the Sea of ​​Despair.

They need firsthand information to uncover the secrets hidden in the scriptures.

Therefore, this on-location filming will be an important part of their pursuit of the truth.

The jeep drove across the boundless desert, the blazing sun shining in the sky.

Chen Ze took a deep breath, feeling the unique and mysterious atmosphere of the desert.

“Finally, we’ve arrived at the Sea of ​​Despair,” he murmured to himself.

Looking at the endless sand dunes before her, Tian Siyao exclaimed excitedly, "It's truly magnificent! There must be many rare treasures waiting for us to discover here."

Qin Miyue remained calm, saying, "We must proceed with caution and not let our guard down."
"The Sea of ​​Despair not only contains treasures, but also hides many unknown dangers."

Chen Ze nodded, remaining vigilant in the face of the unknown.

"No matter what difficulties or dangers we encounter, I will protect you," he solemnly said to Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue.

Tian Siyao looked at Chen Ze with emotion and said gently, "We are both partners and friends, and we will fight side by side."

The jeep slowly drove into the town on the edge of the Sea of ​​Despair. After Tian Siyao and the others got out of the car, they looked around and saw that the town was full of rusty, dilapidated buildings, and was gloomy and silent.

"This place is truly despairing; it doesn't look like there are any secret ruins hidden here at all," Tian Siyao said, frowning.

Chen Ze took a deep breath and looked at the town in front of him, which was completely different from what they had imagined. A sense of unease rose in his heart.

Their journey to the Sea of ​​Despair was fraught with peril and danger.

Now, even their guide, Nigti, hasn't shown up as promised, leaving them in a state of uncertainty.

"Let's wait a moment before deciding on our next move."

Qin Miyue reminded everyone, "Let's find a place to stay first and adjust our state."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they arrived at the only hotel in town that was open. The hotel owner was a middle-aged man with a weathered face, and he looked wary when he saw Chen Ze and the others.

"What do you want?" the boss asked, puzzled.

Chen Ze smiled and explained, "We are explorers from the North, hoping to find the secrets of the Sea of ​​Despair here."

The boss's eyes lit up, and he said to them, "The Sea of ​​Despair? You'll regret coming here! It's full of evil spirits and malevolent forces."

Tian Siyao immediately retorted, "We come from a noble family in the Northern Territory and have experienced many dangerous and mysterious adventures."

"We will not easily succumb to those evil forces."

A hint of admiration flashed in the boss's eyes, and then he said in a low voice, "In that case, I can tell you some news."

"Recently, someone discovered clues to ancient ruins near the town."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news.

Ancient ruins... Could they be related to the Ice Queen they're searching for?

"Do you know the exact location?" Chen Ze asked eagerly.

The boss hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The ruins are said to be located deep in the desert, behind a sand dune."

"But almost no one who enters there survives, so everyone calls it the 'Domain of Death'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sense of determination rose in everyone's hearts.

They are determined to uncover the secrets of this mysterious ruin.

“We will proceed with caution,” Chen Ze said solemnly. “We must find the Ice Queen’s tomb.”

Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue responded to Chen Ze with firm eyes.

They reached a tacit understanding without words and decided to face this challenge full of danger and opportunity together.

That evening, the group discussed their plans for the next day in the hotel.

They prepared detailed shield spells and teleportation scrolls, and learned the basics of desert survival.

The next morning, as the sun was just shining through the window into the hotel, Chen Ze and the other two shouldered their backpacks and prepared to set off.

The wind and sand were howling near the town.

They witnessed once again the vastness and immensity of the Sea of ​​Despair.

"We must weather this endless sandstorm," Chen Ze said calmly, gazing at the sandstorm rushing towards them.

Tian Siyao refused to let go of the amulet in her hand, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "We must go together."

Chen Ze and his companions, along with disciples sent by the Northern Clan, plan to delve deeper into the search for clues.

But their guide, Nigti, did not appear as agreed. (End of Chapter)
