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

Tian Siyao smiled slightly, feeling the support from everyone.

She looked up and continued to carefully observe the relationship between the steps and the guiding flowers.

A few minutes later, a sudden thought struck her, and she muttered to herself, "No! I should press a specific symbol on the panel first to enter the next level!"

Chen Ze stepped forward and asked, "What symbol?"

Tian Siyao pointed to a symbol carved on the edge of the steps and explained:

"This symbol is a mark of courage from the ancient civilization of the Aegean Sea. All we need to do is step on this symbol at the same time."

Following Tian Siyao's instructions, everyone stepped on this symbol of courage.

Suddenly, the walls surrounding the open space began to tremble, and a huge stone gate slowly opened.

After entering the stone gate, the group found themselves in a dark and realistic maze.

The area is filled with endless forks in the road and winding turns.

Chen Ze raised his sword and said to the group, "We must remain vigilant, concentrate, and work together to find the medicine and leave this place."

Mr. Bian immediately stated, "I will help you find the medicine."

The people looked at him with doubt and distrust.

"Why do you want to help us?" Chen Ze asked.

After a moment of silence, General Bian replied, "I cannot sit idly by and wait to die here."

Although everyone was skeptical of Boss Bian, there was no time to argue anymore.

They will face various trials and difficulties within the maze.

In the ancient underground tomb, Chen Ze sacrificed himself, causing a once dark stone staircase to bloom with vibrant flowers.

This miraculous change shocked everyone.

Mr. Bian's words plunged everyone into silence, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

This once eerie underground cemetery is no longer just a place where they search for the elixir of immortality.

It has become a labyrinth hiding countless secrets and dangers.

Chen Ze gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

He looked around, but could no longer discern directions in the dark corridor.

A doubt flashed through their minds: Was Mr. Bian the only person they could trust?
Tian Siyao raised her head and looked at President Bian: "Since you are willing to help us find the medicine, I believe you also know more about this place."

"Please provide us with more information."

Mr. Bian smiled slightly: "The interior of this maze is extremely complex, with countless intersecting paths and traps."

“When I came down here, I had been trapped here for a long time, but I did not come here to find the elixir of immortality.”

He sighed, "The truth is—" Before President Bian could finish speaking, he suddenly lost his footing.

Chen Ze reacted instantly and quickly reached out to pull Boss Bian back.

Mr. Bian's body was suspended in mid-air, and a bottomless black hole was revealed at the crack.

"Quick! We need to find the medicine and get out of here!" Tian Siyao shouted anxiously.

The group hurried on, navigating dangerous crevices and exploring the maze. They carefully avoided various traps and illusions, their steps hurried yet cautious.

Suddenly, a huge fork in the road appeared ahead.

The extensive network of roads seemed to be luring them further astray.

Chen Ze looked around, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We must find a guide to help us determine the right path."

Tian Siyao slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "I have an idea."

She pointed to the wall beside her. "Do you see those symbols and patterns carved on the wall? They might be clues to the elixir of immortality."

Qin Miyue nodded in agreement: "It may have profound significance."

Tian Siyao is right, these symbols and patterns

"We need to observe them carefully and find the patterns and clues within them."

So, everyone began to carefully study the proverbs and symbols on the maze walls. Tian Siyao stroked an ancient pattern, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

“This symbol—” she pointed to an ancient and exquisite pattern, “represents reverence, and I think we should choose this path.”

The crowd trusted Tian Siyao's judgment and followed her onto the path of reverence.

This road is not easy; it is full of trials and traps.

They endured a terrible ordeal, but through mutual support and unity, they maintained the courage to move forward.

Finally, after a long and arduous journey, they arrived at a huge secret chamber.

The enclosed room was spacious and filled with herbs and medicine bottles.

One of the tall and ornate wooden boxes caught everyone's eye.

Chen Ze gripped his sword tightly, struggling to contain his joy: "This is the legendary elixir of immortality!"

Just as he was about to pick up the wooden box, Boss Bian suddenly appeared behind everyone, pressing the cold muzzle of a gun against Chen Ze's neck.

"President Bian! What are you doing?!" Chen Ze shouted angrily.

A cunning glint flashed in Bian's eyes: "Chen Ze, do you really think I'm here to help you find the elixir of immortality? You're too naive."

Everyone looked around warily, and Bian's subordinates also appeared.

They surrounded the group tightly in the darkness.

"So you knew all along that there was an elixir of immortality here, and we were just tools to guide you." Qin Miyue glared at President Bian.

Mr. Bian smiled smugly; "That's right, as long as I get the elixir of immortality, I can live forever."

"As for you, hehe..."

His laughter echoed through the secret room, and everyone felt the shadow of death looming over them in despair.

This maze seemed destined to be their final destination.

However, in her despair, Tian Siyao suddenly pounded on the wall: "We cannot easily succumb to fate! We must trust each other and support one another!"

Her words were like a powerful force, inspiring courage deep within everyone's hearts.

Despite their predicament, they decided to fight to the end for survival and justice, without backing down.

Facing Boss Bian and his men, the group stepped forward without fear.

Swords flashed, and a fierce battle erupted in the secret chamber.

This was a battle where everyone fought with their bare hands and in the face of adversity.

Chen Ze wielded his sword, weaving through the enemies, while Tian Siyao skillfully evaded their attacks using her abilities.

Qin Miyue turned the tide with her superb magical skills, while Mo Xingchen also unleashed her powerful spiritual energy.

After several fierce battles, they finally emerged victorious and stood on the side of the crowd.

Once Bian was subdued, all traces of his confidence and disdain vanished from his face.

"I lost," Mr. Bian murmured.

Chen Ze looked at President Bian with regret and said, "If you can truly repent, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

Mr. Bian remained silent, knowing there was no way to salvage the situation.

Just as everyone was about to leave the secret room, they noticed a line of writing on the wall:
"The elixir of immortality does not exist; true eternity lies in morality and dedication." The crowd looked at these words with shock and relief, understanding the true lesson this trial had taught them.

They exchanged a glance and decided to leave this dangerous place.

However, just as they were about to step out of the secret room, a rapid and sharp cry rang out.

"Watch out! The maze is starting to collapse!" Tian Siyao shouted a warning.

Everyone quickened their pace and fled for their lives.

The entire maze seemed to have become a giant pit, twisting and cracking in space.

Dust swirled, as they searched for hope amidst the devastating news. (End of Chapter)
