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

Lin Yun gazed at the stone door, which had returned to its peaceful state, pondering his next move. He knew that this stone door must hold many secrets, perhaps the key to unlocking the ruins' entirety, or even the mystery of their rebirth. He couldn't give up easily.

"Don't worry, let's study the runes on the stone door and the pattern that appeared on the ground carefully. Maybe we can find a new way to open it." Lin Yun said to the team members.

Everyone nodded and gathered around the stone gate again, observing every detail intently.

Lin Yun closed his eyes and replayed the previous experiences of cracking the crystal ball and the stone gate in his mind, trying to find some inspiration from them.

As everyone was studying it carefully, one of the team members suddenly exclaimed, "Look, the runes on this stone door seem to be changing subtly over time!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly focused their attention and found that the runes on the stone gate were indeed flickering, with some lines increasing, decreasing, or twisting from time to time, as if they were evolving according to some mysterious law.

"This change may be the key. Everyone should pay attention to the order and characteristics of these rune changes." Lin Yun said, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

No one dared to slack off and stared closely at the changes in the runes, fearing that they would miss any important details.

After a while, Lin Yun seemed to have discovered something. He said, "I feel like the changes in these runes are depicting an ancient formation, and they seem to be related to some elements we encountered in the ruins before."

"Then how can we use this discovery to open the stone door?" Lin Xiao asked.

Lin Yun pondered for a moment and said, "I think we may need to rearrange a corresponding small formation in front of the stone gate according to the formation pattern presented by the rune changes, and then use our own spiritual power to drive it. Maybe we can trigger the conditions for the stone gate to open."

After hearing Lin Yun's idea, everyone felt it was a bit risky, but at the moment there was no other way, so they all expressed their willingness to give it a try.

So, under Lin Yun's command, the team members began to get busy. They took out various materials from their storage rings, some were responsible for finding the right place to place the materials, while others were carefully drawing the formation patterns according to the formation style described by Lin Yun. Everyone was completely focused and did not dare to be careless.

After some effort, a small formation was finally set up in front of the stone gate. It emitted a faint light, and the array patterns flickered, faintly echoing the runes on the stone gate.

"Okay, everyone, get ready. Slowly inject spiritual power into the formation. Be careful to keep the spiritual power balanced and stable." Lin Yun reminded.

Everyone took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in their bodies, and carefully sent it towards the formation according to Lin Yun's request.

As spiritual energy was injected, the light of the small formation grew brighter and brighter, and the patterns became clearer. At the same time, the runes on the stone gate seemed to sense this power and began to evolve at an accelerated pace, flashing even more violently.

Suddenly, the stone door emitted a low rumbling sound, and then slowly opened a crack. A powerful airflow gushed out from the crack, mixed with wisps of mysterious aura, which made everyone feel excited.

"Success!" everyone shouted excitedly.

However, before they could be happy for too long, a sinister laugh came from the darkness behind the stone gate. The laughter echoed in everyone's ears, making people shudder.

"Hahaha, you ignorant youngsters, do you think you can step into the world behind this stone gate so easily? What awaits you is endless horror!" A hoarse voice came from behind the door.

Everyone immediately became alert, gripped their weapons tightly, and prepared for battle.

Lin Yun took the lead, slowly pushed open the stone door, and led the team members into the space behind the stone door.

The world behind the door was gloomy, with only a faint light flickering in the distance, like a will-o'-the-wisp. The air was filled with a foul odor that made one want to vomit.

"Everyone be careful, something feels wrong here." Lin Yun warned in a low voice.

Everyone walked forward cautiously, their eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and began to look at the surrounding environment.

There were all kinds of strange statues all around. Some were human-shaped with animal heads, and some were animal-shaped with human hands. These statues exuded an evil aura, as if they would come alive at any time.

"These statues... are so weird." A team member said tremblingly.

Just as everyone was observing the statues vigilantly, suddenly, the eyes of one of the statues lit up, and then all the statues seemed to be awakened, and they began to move and slowly walked towards the crowd.

"Oh no, they are alive!" Lin Yun shouted, and hurriedly swung his sword, slashing at the nearest statue.

The other team members also took action, casting spells and magic weapons, and engaged in a fierce battle with these living statues.

Although these statues move a little slowly, their bodies are extremely hard. Ordinary attacks can only leave shallow marks on them and cannot cause any substantial damage to them.

While attacking the statues, Lin Yun pondered a countermeasure. He discovered that these statues seemed to be driven by some kind of evil spiritual power, and there seemed to be a subtle connection between them. If he could destroy the spiritual power supply of one of the statues, perhaps they would all lose their ability to move.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun began to pay attention to the spiritual power fluctuations of each statue during the battle, trying to find the key spiritual power supply point.

During the fierce battle, a team member was hit by the arm of a statue due to a moment of negligence. He was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood from his mouth.

"Be careful!" Lin Yun was extremely anxious and attacked the statue even harder, trying to buy more time for his teammates to counterattack.

Finally, after careful observation, Lin Yun discovered a core emitting black light at the base of a statue. The core continuously supplied evil spiritual power to the statue.

Lin Yun made a quick decision, flashed and rushed towards the core.

Just as he was about to reach the core, several statues sensed his intentions and turned towards him, trying to stop him.

Lin Yun gritted his teeth, gathered all his spiritual power into the sword, and then slashed fiercely at the statue that was rushing towards him.

After a hard fight, Lin Yun finally broke through the statue's obstruction and reached the core. He raised his sword, poured all his spiritual power into it, and then stabbed it fiercely at the core.

"Crack!" The core was shattered by Lin Yun. In an instant, all the statues that were attacking everyone seemed to have lost their power. They stopped moving, then slowly fell down and scattered all over the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. This battle with the strange statue had been truly thrilling.

"Everyone, quickly recover your spiritual power and treat your wounds. We still have to continue exploring these ruins." Lin Yun said, his eyes full of determination.

Everyone nodded, took out the pills and took them, and began to circulate their spiritual power to heal their wounds.

When everyone had almost recovered, they stood up again and walked towards the depths of the ruins.

But before they had gone far, they encountered a new situation. A wide passage appeared in front of them, and the walls of the passage were covered with vivid murals. These murals were colorful, but they also revealed an indescribable weirdness.

The murals seemed to depict some ancient sacrificial scenes, with monks in strange costumes gathered in front of a huge altar. Various strange-shaped objects were placed on the altar, and some ferocious-looking monsters were tied aside, as if waiting to be sacrificed.

"These murals... feel like they are telling a piece of unknown history." Lin Xiao muttered to himself.

Lin Yun also frowned, examining the murals carefully. He felt that they contained some important information, perhaps inextricably linked to the secrets of the ruins.

As everyone paused to gaze at the mural, a low humming sound suddenly erupted from the passage, as if coming from deep within the wall. Then, the figures on the mural seemed to come alive, slowly emerging from the wall and surrounding the crowd.

"Trouble again!" exclaimed a team member.

Everyone grasped their weapons again and prepared for battle.

Some of the figures emerging from the murals look like monks holding sharp blades, while others are in the form of ferocious monsters. They exude a faint fluctuation of spiritual power and appear to be extremely formidable.

Lin Yun was the first to rush towards a figure that looked like a monk walking out of the mural. He waved his sword and injected a stream of spiritual power into it. The sword instantly shone brightly and slashed towards the figure fiercely.

However, when the sword struck the image, it seemed as if it had struck the air, passing straight through it, leaving the image unharmed.

"What's going on? This attack is ineffective?" Lin Yun said in surprise.

The other team members also discovered this problem, and their attacks were also ineffective against the images that emerged from the murals.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a demon-like figure suddenly opened its mouth and spewed a puff of black smoke at one of the team members. Unable to dodge, the team member was enveloped by the black smoke, instantly groaning in pain and his body began to tremble violently.

"Everyone be careful, this smoke is poisonous!" Lin Yun shouted.

Everyone hurriedly cast spiritual power shields to try to block the spreading black smoke.

However, this black smoke seemed to have extremely strong penetrating power. As soon as it came into contact with the spiritual shield, it quickly penetrated in and continued to attack everyone.

"What should we do? This shield can't block it!" a team member shouted anxiously.

Lin Yun's mind was also rapidly pondering a countermeasure. He suddenly remembered having read about a similar situation in an ancient book. It seemed that these figures emerging from the murals were not physical entities, but rather spiritual beings. Ordinary physical and magical attacks were ineffective against them, requiring special methods to deal with them.

Lin Yun made a quick decision and said to everyone, "Everyone, listen to my instructions. Let's try to use our own spiritual power to condense a special spiritual power thread, and then use this thread to wrap around these spiritual images. Perhaps this will restrict their movements."

When everyone heard this, although they were confused, they could only give it a try according to Lin Yun's suggestion.

So, everyone mobilized the spiritual power in their bodies and began to condense spiritual power threads according to the method Lin Yun said.

With everyone's efforts, the spiritual power threads gradually took shape. They emitted a faint light and looked quite magical.

Lin Yun took the lead and rushed towards a spiritual image with the spiritual thread. He skillfully wrapped the thread around the image's body. Sure enough, the image's movements were immediately restricted and it struggled to break free from the thread.

Seeing this, the other team members followed Lin Yun's example and used spiritual threads to wrap around other spiritual images.

After some effort, everyone finally bound the spiritual images that came out of the murals one by one, and they could no longer act recklessly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. This battle with the spirit form had put them through another test.

"Everyone, quickly recover your spiritual power and treat your wounds. We still have to continue exploring these ruins." Lin Yun said, his eyes full of determination.

Everyone nodded, took out the pills and took them, and began to circulate their spiritual power to heal their wounds.

After everyone had almost recovered, they stood up again and walked towards the depths of the ruins...
