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

Zhao Gang looked at the spirit pearl encased in ice before him, knowing he had to break through the ice as quickly as possible to retrieve it, or he would be completely frozen by the icy force. He first tried to strike the ice with his shield, but the ice was extremely hard, and the shield only knocked off a few ice chips, unable to shake the foundation at all.

Zhao Gang then took a deep breath, channeled his spiritual energy, and gathered it into his palms. He then slapped the ice with his palms. The moment the spiritual energy made contact with the ice, a sizzling sound emanated, and cracks appeared on the surface of the ice, but it quickly refreezed.

"This won't do. We have to think of another way." Zhao Gang frowned and thought for a moment. He remembered that there were several talismans containing fire spiritual power in his storage magic weapon. Perhaps he could use them to melt the ice.

Zhao Gang quickly took out the talisman and injected spiritual energy into it. The talisman instantly transformed into several balls of blazing flames, flying towards the ice. Upon contact with the ice, the flames began to rapidly melt it, emitting a crackling sound. The source of the continuous stream of ice threads gradually lost its power as the ice melted, and the ice threads became sparse.

Zhao Gang seized this opportunity, gathering his spiritual energy once more and striking the thinning ice with a powerful blow. It finally shattered, revealing the spiritual pearl, radiating white light. Reaching out, Zhao Gang snatched it securely into his pocket, breathing a sigh of relief. He then began to channel his spiritual energy to dispel the remaining icy energy within him, regaining his flexibility and preparing to rejoin his teammates.

Lin Yun and Su Yao continued to search for the remaining spirit beads in the ruins. They walked along the intricate passages for a long time and encountered many abandoned magic weapon wreckages and ancient stone tablets engraved with runes along the way. Although these things also contained certain value, at this moment they only wanted to find the spirit beads as soon as possible and solve the hidden danger of the crystal ball.

When passing a seemingly ordinary corner, Su Yao suddenly stopped. She closed her eyes, felt it carefully for a while, and then said to Lin Yun in surprise: "Brother Lin Yun, I feel the breath of the spirit pearl again. This time it feels very close. It should be nearby."

The two carefully searched in the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations and discovered a tiny crack in the nearby wall, a faint glow emanating from it. Lin Yun gently pried the wall with his sword, and surprisingly, it slowly shifted, revealing a hidden chamber. The chamber was small, filled with rotting wooden boxes. In the corner, a spiritual pearl radiated a golden light, resting quietly. Its brilliance was dazzling, yet it exuded a mysterious aura.

"What good luck! I found another one." Lin Yun walked forward with a smile, carefully picked up the spirit bead, and put it away properly together with the one he found before. "Now we only need two spirit beads. I hope everything goes well for Chen Yu and Wang Lin as well."

Su Yao nodded and said, "Well, let's continue looking and collect the spirit beads as soon as possible so that we can resolve the crisis of the crystal ball sooner." With that, the two of them left the secret room and headed deeper into the ruins.

Chen Yu and Wang Lin, holding the light blue spirit beads they had just obtained, rushed out of the passage while fending off the black panther monster's pursuit. The black panther monster chased them relentlessly, occasionally emitting angry roars. It was extremely fast and almost caught up with the two of them several times.

"Wang Lin, running like this is not a solution. We have to find a way to get rid of it." Chen Yu shouted while running.

Wang Lin threw out talismans to stop the monster and responded, "I have a few more tracking talismans here. I'll find a chance to use them later. I hope to disrupt its pursuit. We can take this opportunity to find a place to hide."

After that, Wang Lin seized the opportunity and threw several enigmatic talismans around a corner. The talismans instantly released a mist of spiritual energy after landing, obscuring all traces of the surrounding atmosphere. The black panther monster rushed into the mist, momentarily losing its target and ramming around in it, emitting bursts of roars.

Chen Yu and Wang Lin took the opportunity to hide in a small, hidden cave nearby. They held their breath, not daring to make a sound, fearing they would be discovered by the monster. After a while, they heard the noise outside gradually fade away, and they breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the cave.

"Phew, that was a close call, we were almost caught up by it. Let's continue looking for the spirit pearl, we can't delay here for too long." Chen Yu said, and the two of them sorted themselves out and continued to explore along the passage, hoping to find the next spirit pearl as soon as possible.

During their exploration, Lin Yun, Su Yao, and Chen Yu, Wang Lin's groups unexpectedly met in a hall of the ruins. Everyone was delighted to see each other, and at the same time, relieved. After all, in such a dangerous underground ruin, it was not easy to meet again.

"How many spirit beads have you found? We found two." Lin Yun asked first.

Chen Yu smiled and replied, "We found one too, but it took a lot of effort. We were almost stopped by a black panther monster."

Wang Lin then recounted in detail how they encountered the black panther monster and obtained the spirit pearl. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but worry for them.

"It wasn't easy for us either. We encountered skeleton puppets and various traps. Fortunately, we also found two spirit beads." Su Yao said, and then shared their experience.

After hearing this, Lin Yun said solemnly, "We've found four spirit beads now, and only the last one is missing. We must hurry and find it as soon as possible, and then go and reinforce the seal of the crystal ball."

Everyone nodded and decided to act together. Relying on everyone's strength and their own abilities, they would try to find the last spirit bead as quickly as possible.

Everyone gathered together the clues about the spirit pearls they had discovered during their exploration. After some analysis and discussion, they found that all the clues seemed to point to the deepest part of the ruins, an area shrouded by powerful restrictions.

"It seems that the last spirit bead is very likely in that restricted area, but the restriction seems difficult to break, so we have to be careful." Wang Lin frowned and said as he looked at the restricted area in the distance that was faintly emitting spiritual light.

Everyone walked in that direction. The closer they got, the more they could feel the powerful pressure emanating from the restriction, as if warning everyone not to approach easily. When they arrived in front of the restriction, they carefully observed the runes on it, trying to find a clue to decipher it.

The runes on this restriction were extremely complex and contained an ancient and profound spiritual law, unlike anything they had ever seen before. Wang Lin tried to touch the runes using the same method he had used to break other restrictions, but as soon as he made contact, he was bounced back by a powerful recoil force. His face turned pale and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Wang Lin, are you okay?" Everyone rushed forward to support her and asked with concern.

Wang Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "I'm fine. This restriction is more powerful than I thought. We have to find another way."

Just when everyone was frowning, Lin Yun suddenly remembered the ancient scroll he had found in the ancient battlefield before. The scroll contained a lot of information about the ruins and the crystal ball. Maybe there would be a way to break the ban.

Lin Yun hurriedly retrieved the scroll from his magical storage device. Everyone gathered around and began to carefully leaf through it. After a thorough search, they finally found a relevant passage. The scroll mentioned that to break this particular restriction, one needed to simultaneously inject spiritual energy of five attributes into the five key points of the restriction in a specific order and proportion. This injection of spiritual energy also required a special incantation to create a gap and allow entry into the restricted area.

"Luckily, we have this book, otherwise we would be completely clueless." Chen Yu said with emotion, "However, we happen to possess all five types of spiritual power. We just don't know how to recite this special spell."

Wang Lin carefully examined the incantation written on the scroll. The text was extremely ancient and obscure, and the pronunciation was difficult to determine. Drawing on her profound knowledge of rune prohibitions, she attempted to decipher the incantation's pronunciation. After repeated deliberation and experimentation, she finally settled on a more reliable pronunciation.

"I have roughly determined how to pronounce the spell. We can try it now, but everyone must be careful. If anything goes wrong, stop injecting spiritual power immediately." Wang Lin reminded. Everyone nodded, and then took their positions as required, ready to try to break the ban.

Everyone calmed down, circulated the spiritual power in their bodies, adjusted it to the corresponding attributes, and then carefully injected the spiritual power into the five key nodes of the ban. At the same time, Wang Lin muttered to himself and recited the special spell.

At first, the restriction didn't react noticeably, and everyone was a little nervous, worried that something might be wrong. But with the continued infusion of spiritual energy and the recitation of the incantation, the runes on the restriction began to glimmer, the light growing brighter and brighter, and the speed of the runes gradually increased.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force came from the barrier, as if it was sucking in everyone's spiritual power. Everyone quickly steadied themselves, increasing their spiritual power output, and resisted the suction force with all their might. Just when everyone felt they were about to collapse, there was a loud "boom," and a gap appeared in the barrier, wide enough for one person to pass through, and the light dimmed significantly.

"Success!" Everyone cheered, their faces full of fatigue but unable to hide their excitement.

"Let's go in quickly, find the last spirit bead, and solve this hidden danger." Lin Yun said, taking the lead and entering the restricted area through the gap. The others followed closely behind and stepped into this mysterious forbidden area full of unknowns.

After entering the restricted area, everyone discovered that the spiritual energy here was extremely rich, and the environment was also very different from the outside. Clouds and mist swirled around them, and beneath their feet was a faintly glowing spiritual pool. The spiritual energy in the pool flowed like water, and from time to time, waves of spiritual energy would appear.

In the center of the spirit pool, there is a small stone platform, on which is placed a spirit bead emitting colorful light. The light of the spirit bead illuminates the entire restricted area, so gorgeous and dazzling that one can tell at a glance that it is the last spirit bead that everyone has been searching for.

"We finally found it!" Everyone was very excited and walked towards the stone platform impatiently, wanting to get this last spirit bead.

However, just as they approached the stone platform, the surrounding clouds suddenly rolled violently, and a low roar came from it, as if some powerful being was angered by their arrival and was about to show up to stop them from obtaining the spirit pearl. A new crisis was about to come.

As the roar grew louder, a gigantic, unicorn-like mythical beast slowly emerged from the clouds. Its body was covered in multicolored scales, each one radiating a dazzling light. The single horn on its head exuded a sacred and majestic aura. Its eyes, like two blazing flames, stared intently at Lin Yun and the others. It exuded a powerful pressure, making them feel as if a mountain was bearing down on them, making even breathing difficult.

"What kind of divine beast is this? It has such a powerful pressure. It seems that it is guarding the spiritual pearl. If we want to get the spiritual pearl, we may have to get past it first." Lin Yun said with a serious expression, holding the sword tightly in his hand. Although he felt tremendous pressure, he had no intention of retreating. The other team members also prepared for the battle, ready to compete with this powerful guardian beast.

The beast looked at everyone and roared once more, a roar that reverberated throughout the restricted area, jarring everyone's eardrums. Then, it raised its front hoof and stomped the ground hard, sending a powerful spiritual energy shockwave surging towards them. Wherever it passed, deep cracks were created in the ground, and the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy pool was stirred up, splashing everywhere.

"Everyone, be careful! Attack together!" Lin Yun shouted, charging towards the beast first, unleashing his most powerful sword move. His spiritual energy transformed into a massive sword aura, slashing towards the beast. The other team members followed suit, each contributing their own abilities. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, her spiritual energy ripples transforming into spiritual blades that coordinated with Lin Yun's sword aura, striking the beast. Chen Yu used the art of stealth to circle around the beast, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack with his hidden spiritual blades. Wang Lin continuously threw various talismans, some transforming into blazing flames, others into sturdy ropes, attempting to disrupt the beast's movements and inflict damage. Zhao Gang, shield in hand, stood firmly in front of the group, ready to fend off the beast's attacks and create opportunities for his teammates to deal damage.

Everyone knew that this battle was related to whether they could gather the spirit beads and resolve the crisis of the crystal ball, and it was related to the peace of this area and even the wider area. Therefore, they were determined to die and started a life-and-death battle with this powerful guardian beast.
