I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals

The team led by Lin Yun and Su Yao passed through a light curtain flashing with mysterious runes and officially stepped into the secret realm of immortal cultivation.

Upon entering, everyone was stunned by the scene before them. The secret realm seemed like another world. Suspended in the sky were gigantic crystals emitting multicolored light, as dazzling as stars yet so close at hand, illuminating the entire space with a dreamlike quality. Beneath their feet lay a vast meadow, its blades a strange hue: some as emerald green as jade, others as vibrant as rubies. The breeze blew, waving the grass, sparkling with tiny glimmers of light.

In the distance, rolling hills rose and fell, and the trees on them varied in shape. Some had twisting trunks, as if displaying mysterious runes; others had lush branches and leaves, seemingly carved from ice crystals, reflecting a brilliant light. A gurgling stream flowed through the mountains, its water not the usual transparent color, but a pale golden liquid like ectoplasm, emitting bursts of rich spiritual energy.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful, but it feels like there's a sense of mystery everywhere." A disciple in the team couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Yun didn't dare to relax at all. He observed his surroundings vigilantly and said, "Everyone, don't be fooled by appearances. The more beautiful this secret realm is, the greater the danger it hides. Everyone, be vigilant and advance according to the previously planned formation."

Everyone quickly gathered their minds. According to the arrangement, Chen Yu, who was good at hiding and tracking, led the way ahead, and the others followed closely behind, cautiously heading towards the depths of the secret realm.

After walking for a while, they came to an area filled with thick fog. The fog was so thick that it was almost invisible, and it seemed to have the strange effect of blocking spiritual perception.

Chen Yu's original sharp tracking skills were also useless in this fog. He frowned and turned to Lin Yun and said, "Brother Lin Yun, this fog is too strange. I can't tell the direction at all. I can't even sense the spiritual power mark I left before."

Lin Yun tried to release his spiritual power to disperse the fog, but the fog had just been dispersed a little when it gathered back again in the blink of an eye, and it was completely useless.

"Don't get separated for now, hold hands, just in case." Su Yao reminded loudly.

Everyone did as they were told and moved slowly in the fog. However, after walking for a long time, they felt like they were going around in circles and could not find a way out. A feeling of unease gradually welled up in everyone's heart.

At this moment, a sinister laugh seemed to come from all directions, echoing in the fog, making people shudder.

"Who is it? Come out!" Lin Yun shouted, and the sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed. Spiritual power was poured into it, and a bright light burst out, trying to illuminate the surrounding fog, but the laughter still continued, but no figure could be seen.

As the eerie laughter continued, blurry figures gradually emerged from the mist. These figures varied in form, some resembling humanoids with distorted, hideous faces; others resembled beasts, emitting a menacing aura. They slowly gathered around the group.

"Everyone be careful and prepare for battle!" Lin Yun shouted, and took the lead in swinging a sword at an approaching human-shaped phantom. The sword moves were sharp, and with whistling spiritual power, he slashed directly at the phantom.

But what surprised everyone was that the sword move passed through the phantom, but it was like cutting the air. The phantom was not hurt at all. Instead, it took the opportunity to pounce on him, stretched out its illusory hands, and emitted an icy chill as it grabbed towards Lin Yun.

The other team members also cast spells to attack the phantoms around them. For a moment, all kinds of spiritual light flickered and intertwined in the fog. However, those phantoms seemed to be immortal. No matter how many times they were attacked, they could quickly recover and continue to attack. Moreover, the coldness emanating from them became stronger and stronger, making everyone's movements become slow.

"We can't go on like this. They don't seem to be physical entities. Conventional attacks are useless against them. We have to think of other ways." Su Yao said anxiously while playing the Lingxi Jade Flute, trying to use spiritual power fluctuations to interfere with the actions of these phantoms.

During the fierce confrontation, Lin Yun suddenly discovered that every time the phantoms launched an attack, a faint light would briefly flash on their bodies, which seemed to be the core of their power.

"Everyone, pay attention, attack the places where the light is flashing on their bodies, that may be a flaw!" Lin Yun shouted loudly, then concentrated his spiritual power, aimed at the moment when the light was flashing on a phantom, and stabbed out with all his strength. This time, the sword accurately pierced the light, and the phantom immediately let out a shrill scream, turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit, each targeting the phantom's weak points and launching their strongest attacks. Chen Yu unleashed a hidden spiritual blade, silently striking the phantom's vital points; Wang Lin threw several specially crafted talismans, which transformed into light and exploded at the phantom's vital points; Zhao Gang wielded his great axe, relying on his immense strength, finding the perfect moment to strike the phantom's weak points.

With the joint attack of everyone, those troublesome phantoms were finally eliminated one by one, the eerie laughter in the fog also disappeared, and the surrounding fog began to dissipate gradually.

As the mist cleared, everyone discovered they were in a tranquil valley, dotted with rare spiritual plants. Some resembled lotus flowers, yet blossomed with a rainbow of light, their petals dripping with translucent spiritual fluid. Others climbed over rocks like vines, their branches laden with fragrant fruits imbued with a rich spiritual energy.

"These are rare and good things. They are very beneficial for cultivation and refining pills." Wang Lin, who is proficient in alchemy, said excitedly.

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Everyone, be careful when collecting. There might be other dangers around."

So, everyone divided the work and carefully began to collect these spiritual plants. During the collection process, Su Yao also discovered a very special spiritual plant. It grew in a crevice in the rock wall of the valley. It looked like a Ganoderma lucidum, but with golden veins, exuding a sacred and ancient aura. After identification, it turned out to be a spiritual plant that had almost been lost in the world of immortal cultivation. It had the magical effect of improving the quality of spiritual power and consolidating the realm.

Everyone reaped a great harvest and carefully stored the collected spiritual plants into the storage magic weapon. Their mood also eased a lot from the tension of the previous battle with the phantom, and they became more looking forward to this secret realm.

Continuing deeper into the valley, an ancient ruin gradually emerged. Its architectural style was simple yet majestic. Massive stone pillars were engraved with arcane runes, and the walls were covered in exquisite murals depicting ancient cultivators training, fighting, and performing mysterious rituals. However, the erosion of time had left some areas blurred and mottled.

"There should be a lot of secrets hidden here, perhaps this is the key we are looking for this time." Lin Yun looked at the ruins in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

However, before they could get close to the gate of the ruins, the ground suddenly shook violently, and huge cracks spread out. From the cracks crawled out monsters that looked like pangolins, but were much larger in size. They were covered with hard scales, had red eyes, and exuded a fierce aura. They rushed towards the team.

These pangolin monsters were extremely fast and rushed in front of everyone in the blink of an eye. They used their hard heads to hit and their sharp claws to scratch, and their attack was very ferocious.

Zhao Gang was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He shouted loudly, and spiritual power surged in his body. His muscles bulged, and he rushed forward waving a huge axe. Every swing brought up a powerful spiritual power storm, colliding head-on with the monster with a dull sound.

"Everyone, cooperate with each other and don't get separated by them!" Lin Yun commanded everyone while using his sword skills to restrain several approaching monsters.

Su Yao stood in the middle of the team, playing the Lingxi Jade Flute, releasing waves of spiritual power to interfere with the actions of the monsters, while at the same time blessing spiritual power for her teammates to enhance their defense and attack capabilities.

Chen Yu used his stealth skills to get behind the monsters and launch a sneak attack, catching them by surprise; Wang Lin kept throwing out talismans, some of which turned into flames to burn the monsters' scales, while others formed ropes to bind the monsters' limbs, trying to slow down their attack rhythm.

But these monsters were numerous and had thick skin and flesh. For a while, everyone was caught in a tough battle. Although they fought hard, they gradually became powerless. Several people were injured and the situation became very critical.

At this crucial moment of life and death, Lin Yun watched his teammates injured, a surge of determination welling up in his heart. He suddenly activated the spiritual power fused with the "Ethereal Illusionary Moon Art" within his body, raising it to its peak. His entire aura suddenly transformed, and his figure transformed into an illusory moon shadow, weaving through the herd of monsters.

His swordsmanship became even more fierce and treacherous. Each sword strike accurately hit the vital parts of the monsters. Those originally indestructible scales were broken one after another under his sword. For a moment, blood splattered and several monsters fell to the ground with a bang.

"Don't give up, we can do it!" Lin Yun's shout inspired everyone, and everyone gritted their teeth and burst out with even greater fighting power.

At this time, Su Yao also broke through the limit of her spiritual power. She combined the spiritual power fluctuations of Lingxi Jade Flute with the power of nature more perfectly. The sound of the flute seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, forming a series of substantial spiritual blades, which slashed fiercely at the monsters and caused them great damage.

With everyone working together and fighting to the death, the monsters that besieged them finally began to retreat, falling one by one. The remaining ones, seeing that the situation was not good, fled back into the underground cracks.

After repelling the monster, everyone was exhausted, but looking at the ruins so close before them, the determination in their eyes did not fade.

"Let's go in. We finally got here, we must find something valuable." Lin Yun said, and took the lead to walk towards the gate of the ruins.

Supporting one another, they followed Lin Yun, slowly entering the ancient ruins. The light within was dim, illuminated only by a few glimmering gems embedded in the walls. They walked cautiously, prepared for the unknown challenges and new discoveries that lay ahead.

After entering the ruins, they found a huge space inside with many stone platforms. On the stone platforms were some ancient jade boxes, scrolls and strangely shaped magic weapons.

Lin Yun approached a stone platform, gently picked up a jade box, opened it and saw a pill emitting a soft light. The scent of the pill was ancient and mellow, obviously not an ordinary item.

Su Yao unfolded a scroll and carefully examined its contents. She discovered that it recorded some ancient cultivation experiences and a method of spiritual power circulation that she had never heard of. Although the text was obscure and difficult to understand, it still made her excited.

"It seems that there are treasures hidden in here. If we look carefully, we may find an inheritance that is of great significance to the sect.
