After the publication of the Hunyuan Spiritual Method, the entire world of immortal cultivation was engulfed in a frenzy devoted to studying this miraculous technique. Within the training grounds of various sects, cultivators could be seen gathered together, poring over the tome, either frowning in deep thought or engaged in heated discussions, attempting to decipher the profound principles of spiritual energy and the secrets of cultivation.

Many elders with profound backgrounds, drawing on years of experience, have learned from the Hunyuan Spiritual Method a method of integrating spiritual energy that suits them. Their cultivation has advanced significantly, and the bottlenecks that once held them back have shown signs of breaking free. Some young elite disciples have also demonstrated remarkable savvy. They have validated and integrated the Hunyuan Spiritual Method with their own cultivation techniques, significantly increasing the power of their spiritual spells. They have shone brightly in internal competitions, inspiring fellow disciples to emulate them. For a time, the world of immortal cultivation was permeated with an atmosphere of positivity, exploration, and innovation.

Lin Yun and the others were also busy. After sharing details of their trip to Spirit Island, they returned to their respective sects to further their study of the Hunyuan Spiritual Method. After this period of seclusion and intensive study, Lin Yun successfully incorporated the subtleties of the Hunyuan Spiritual Method regarding the transformation of spiritual energy into his own cultivation system. Now, when he casts spiritual spells, not only is his spiritual power more powerful, but he can also freely switch between different spiritual power attributes. This greatly enhances his combat flexibility and significantly increases his strength compared to before.

Su Yao, drawing on the concept of spiritual energy fusion within her cultivation method, has made bold innovations in her musical spiritual energy technique. When she plays the Lingxi Jade Flute, she can now fuse spiritual energy from multiple attributes simultaneously, transforming the rhythm into a myriad of attacking forms. One moment, it's a spiritual energy blade as blazing as flame, the next a spiritual energy net as cold as frost. Its power and controllability are far greater than before, allowing her to handle a variety of situations with greater ease.

However, just when everyone in the world of immortal cultivation was studying the "Hunyuan Spiritual Method" openly, hoping to use it to improve their strength and protect the world of immortal cultivation, a small group of people with ulterior motives started to have evil ideas.

In a hidden valley, several mysterious men in black robes, their faces hidden in the shadows, gathered together. They exuded a subtle evil aura, their eyes flashing with greed and calculation.

"The Hunyuan Spiritual Method is so powerful. If we can control it, it will be easy to dominate the world of immortal cultivation. Why should we hide here and be suppressed by those so-called righteous sects?" One of the black-robed men whispered, his voice full of resentment and resentment.

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. Nowadays, that martial art is regarded as a treasure by various sects and is strictly guarded. It's not that easy to snatch it from them." Another man in black robe snorted coldly and retorted.

"That's okay. We can observe secretly first to find out where they store their skills and the rules of guarding, and then find an opportunity to take action. I heard that the various sects are preparing to store the original copy of the "Hunyuan Lingfa" in a secret pavilion where several major leaders have jointly set up multiple restrictions. This may be our chance." The leading black-robed man said sinisterly, with a cunning light in his eyes. The other people nodded after hearing this, and then began to discuss a specific action plan. A conspiracy against the "Hunyuan Lingfa" is quietly growing in this dark corner.

The leaders of various sects were well aware of the preciousness and importance of the "Hunyuan Lingfa". In order to ensure the safety of the skills, they discussed carefully and decided to build a secret pavilion in a valley located in the core area of ​​the world of immortal cultivation, which was rich in spiritual energy and had a hidden terrain, to store the original copy of the "Hunyuan Lingfa".

From site selection to construction, this secret pavilion has been the product of meticulous effort from various sects. While its exterior appears simple and understated, its interior holds hidden mysteries. The walls of the secret pavilion are crafted from a rare mineral called "Spirit Lock Stone," which blocks spiritual detection, preventing outsiders from easily gaining access to the pavilion's interior. The main gate, constructed from a splice of several powerful spiritual woods, is engraved with intricate defensive runes. It can only be opened by the simultaneous use of a specially crafted spiritual key by the sect leaders.

Entering the secret pavilion, there are spiritual light screens crisscrossing each other. These light screens are jointly arranged by the elders of various sects. Each light screen has powerful spiritual defense and early warning functions. Once someone tries to break through by force, the light screen will not only release powerful attacking spiritual power, but also instantly pass the message to the leaders of various sects and the masters guarding nearby.

The core area where the "Hunyuan Lingfa" was originally stored was sealed with a "Hunyuan Lingsuo" cast by the leaders. This "Hunyuan Lingsuo" integrated the spiritual characteristics of various sects. Unless one could crack the spiritual imprints of various sects at the same time, it was impossible to get close to the scroll of the technique. It was heavily guarded and as solid as a rock, making people feel foolproof.

Those black-robed men with ill intentions began their covert reconnaissance. They hid during the day and moved at night, casting various spells to conceal their presence and figures, cautiously approaching the valley where the secret chamber was located, trying to understand the secret chamber's defense patterns and weaknesses.

At first, they observed from afar, noting that patrolling disciples from various sects frequently passed by the Secret Pavilion. While their cultivation varied, each disciple was extremely vigilant, sounding the alarm at the slightest sign of trouble. Furthermore, the valley seemed to contain hidden spiritual traps, the consequences of which, if triggered, would be disastrous.

As their observations deepened, the black-robed men discovered that the spiritual energy fluctuations around the Secret Pavilion were relatively weak in the early morning hours. This was because patrol disciples were changing shifts, and there was a brief period of spiritual energy slack. They also noticed that a weak point in the mountain behind the Secret Pavilion seemed to have some kind of spiritual connection to the entire defensive barrier, suggesting a possible breakthrough there. However, these were only preliminary speculations, requiring further confirmation and a more detailed plan of action.

"It seems we have to observe for a few more days to get a clearer understanding of the situation. We only have one chance, and we must make sure everything is foolproof." The leading man in black robes said in a low voice. The others nodded, with sinister glints in their eyes, and continued to hide in the dark, waiting for the best time to strike.

Even as Lin Yun cultivated, he felt a lingering sense of unease. Recalling the hardships and dangers of his journey to Spirit Island, he knew the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique would inevitably attract the covetousness of those with ulterior motives. Although the various sects had implemented numerous protective measures, he still worried that some would slip through the net and secretly plot something.

That day, he met Su Yao, Chen Yu, Zhao Gang and others in the sect who also had worried expressions on their faces. When they met, they expressed their concerns and found that their ideas coincided with each other.

"I always feel that the world of immortal cultivation seems calm recently, but in fact there are undercurrents. That technique is too attractive, and there is no guarantee that no one will have bad intentions." Lin Yun said with a frown.

"Yeah, we finally brought it back from Lingdao. It would be terrible if it was taken away by those guys with ulterior motives." Su Yao agreed, with worry in her eyes.

"How about we take the initiative to go to the secret pavilion and check it out, so that we can have an idea. If anything really happens, we can discover and deal with it in time." Chen Yu suggested. Everyone thought it was a good idea and immediately decided to go to the valley where the secret pavilion was located and patrol secretly, just in case. They didn't want to watch "Hunyuan Lingfa" fall into danger. After all, this was related to the future safety of the entire cultivation world.

After Lin Yun and others arrived at the valley where the secret pavilion was located, they did not show up immediately, but hid their bodies and quietly observed the surrounding situation with their powerful spiritual perception ability.

They found that the patrolling disciples were indeed doing their jobs, and the spiritual power restrictions in the valley were functioning normally. Everything seemed to be in order. However, the careful Su Yao noticed an unusual spiritual power fluctuation. The fluctuation was very weak. If she was not extremely sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations, it would probably be difficult to detect.

"Do you feel that there seems to be a very weak but somewhat strange spiritual power fluctuation over there? It doesn't feel like the normal spiritual power fluctuation in our world of immortal cultivation." Su Yao whispered to everyone. After hearing it, everyone immediately focused their attention and sensed in the direction Su Yao pointed. Sure enough, they found the strange spiritual power fluctuation. Although it appeared and disappeared from time to time, it exuded an uncomfortable evil spirit, which was obviously not a good sign.

"This fluctuation is a bit strange. Let's follow it and maybe we can find something." Lin Yun said in a low voice. Everyone nodded and carefully moved towards the source of the spiritual power fluctuation, wanting to find out if there was really someone secretly planning something detrimental to the "Hunyuan Lingfa". As the distance got closer, their vigilance increased, and they were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Following the strange fluctuations of spiritual energy, Lin Yun and the others gradually approached the edge of the valley. Behind a dense patch of bushes, they discovered several faint traces of spiritual energy. These traces were clearly left by someone who had cast a concealment spell, but due to time constraints or other reasons, they had not been completely eliminated, which happened to be noticed by them.

"It seems that someone is sneaking around here. This should be the source of this strange spiritual power fluctuation. Let's continue to follow these traces and see if we can find their hiding place." Chen Yu said softly, and everyone continued to follow the spiritual power traces.

After tracking for a distance, they arrived at an abandoned cave. The strange spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from within the cave. Simple concealment measures had been set up around the cave to mask the aura within, but after careful investigation by Lin Yun and the others, these measures were found to be ineffective.

"It seems that the suspicious person should be in this cave. Let's be careful and go in to take a look." Lin Yun said in a low voice. Everyone held the magic weapon in their hands tightly, exerted their spiritual power to conceal their own breath, and walked carefully into the cave, ready to uncover the conspiracy hidden in the dark, to protect the "Hunyuan Lingfa" and the peace of the entire world of immortal cultivation. But what is hidden in the cave, and what kind of danger will they encounter? Everything is still unknown, and everyone's heart is in their throat.

After entering the cave, Lin Yun and the others discovered that the space inside was larger than they had imagined. The walls were inlaid with faintly glowing spirit crystals, barely enough to illuminate the surroundings. A pungent odor permeated the cave, a blend of various concealment spells and evil spirits that made one frown.

They walked slowly along the cave passage, always alert to the surrounding movements. Suddenly, a faint conversation came from the front. Although the voice was very low, it was clearly audible in the silent cave.

"This is it. I've been observing for so many days and determined that starting from the weak point of the mountain behind the secret pavilion is the most promising. As long as we can break through those spiritual light curtains, we can get close to the 'Hunyuan Spirit Lock'." A hoarse voice said.

"But the 'Hunyuan Spirit Lock' is not so easy to crack. It's not so easy to break the restriction set up by the leaders of various sects." Another voice responded with some concern.

When Lin Yun and the others heard this, they were certain that these people were the criminals who were secretly planning to steal the "Hunyuan Lingfa". They no longer hesitated, appeared directly, and walked towards the direction where the voice came from, ready to catch these people in one fell swoop and stop their conspiracy.

"You evil-minded people, how dare you set your sights on the Hunyuan Spiritual Method? Today is the day you die!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the cave, breaking the original silence and making the black-robed men instantly alert. The two sides met unexpectedly in this way, and a conflict was inevitable. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The black-robed men were startled at first when they heard Lin Yun's shout, then realized their plan had been discovered, their faces darkening. They no longer hid their forms, emerging from the shadows one after another, revealing their ferocious faces and sinister black robes. In their hands, they each clutched magical weapons emitting strange radiances, ready for battle.

"Hmph, you few young boys think you can stop us? You really don't know your place!" The leading black-robed man said viciously, and then he took the lead in attacking. He waved the black staff in his hand, and a black spiritual power surged out from the top of the staff, transforming into a spiritual python with bared fangs and claws, and pounced towards Lin Yun and others. Black smoke spewed out of the python's mouth, and wherever it went, the air seemed to be corroded, emitting a pungent smell.

Undeterred, Lin Yun and the others immediately unleashed their strongest spiritual spells to resist. Lin Yun swung his staff, unleashing a spiritual light curtain of pure spiritual energy. Runes shimmered across the curtain, repelling the spiritual python. The python crashed into the curtain, sending a roaring roar. Though cracks appeared, the curtain still held its ground. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, its melodies transforming into spiritual blades that shot towards the black-robed figure. The blades darted through the cave, whirring with spiritual energy, piercing the black-robed figure's vital points. Chen Yu, concealing himself, instantly circled behind the black-robed figure, catching them off guard and stabbing one of them in the back with his spiritual dagger. Zhao Gang, shield raised, stood firmly in front, shielding the others from any counterattacks and poised to strike the enemy with his shield, disrupting their attack. The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce melee, the action intense, neither side willing to yield.

Seeing that Lin Yun and the others were very powerful and it was difficult to break through their defense line for a while, the black-robed men changed their attack strategy. Several people began to perform a combined attack formation. They connected their respective spiritual powers in a special way, forming a huge black spiritual power vortex. The vortex contained powerful suction and corrosive forces, sweeping towards everyone, trying to suck everyone into the vortex, and then slowly consume their spiritual power and defeat them one by one.

Lin Yun and the others sensed the power of the black spiritual vortex and hurriedly huddled together, pooling their spiritual energy to create a stronger spiritual shield, attempting to resist the vortex's suction. However, the vortex's power was too great, and the shield, under the influence of the suction, continued to move closer to the vortex, pulling everyone to the point of being unsteady, and the situation became extremely critical.

"Don't panic, everyone. Let's work together and attack the edge of the vortex to break its suction balance!" Lin Yun shouted. Everyone nodded after hearing it, and then worked together to attack a place on the edge of the vortex where spiritual power was relatively weak. The various spiritual lights intertwined together and turned into a powerful spiritual light column, which slammed heavily on the edge of the vortex. Finally, the suction of the black spiritual vortex weakened briefly. Everyone took the opportunity to stabilize their body and escaped the danger of being sucked into the vortex, but the two sides were still deadlocked and the battle situation was in a stalemate. No one knew who would win the battle in the end, and what impact would the result of this battle have on "Hunyuan Lingfa" and the entire world of cultivation?
