I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals
Chapter 170: Cult Crisis and the Search for the Truth
That sinister laughter echoed endlessly throughout the hall, and the black light grew ever thicker, completely enveloping everyone, leaving them speechless. Lin Yun and the others stood back to back, their spiritual energy rapidly coursing through their bodies as they vigilantly surveyed their surroundings. But all they could see was darkness, nothing in sight. This unknown fear made everyone's heart leap into their throats.
"Everyone be careful, don't scatter. This must be the evil magic caused by the "World-Destroying Evil Book". Who knows what powerful things will appear." Lin Yun said in a low voice. Everyone nodded, holding the magic weapons in their hands tightly, and prepared for battle.
At that moment, everyone felt the temperature around them plummet, as if they were in an ice cellar. A powerful, evil pressure pressed down from all directions, making it difficult to breathe and even sluggish to circulate spiritual energy. Suddenly, pairs of eerie green eyes lit up in the darkness, flickering like will-o'-the-wisp. Then, heavy footsteps could be heard, as if some enormous monster were approaching them.
As the footsteps drew nearer, everyone finally got a clear look at the incoming beings. They were a group of tall, hideous-looking evil spirits, emanating a thick black mist. Their bodies seemed both ethereal and real. Some had sharp claws, while others protruded from their mouths long, black tongues covered in slime. They looked extremely terrifying.
As soon as the evil spirits appeared, they pounced on the crowd with lightning speed. They brandished their claws, bringing up black spiritual blades that slashed at the crowd. Wherever the spiritual blades passed, space seemed to be torn into black cracks, demonstrating their great power.
Lin Yun and others hurriedly cast spiritual power shields and launched a counterattack at the same time. Lin Yun waved his magic staff and unleashed the most powerful defense and attack fusion technique in the "Hunyuan Spirit Method". Rays of light containing spiritual power of different attributes shot out from the top of the magic staff, colliding with the spiritual blade of the evil spirit, making a deafening roar; Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the music turned into spiritual power ripples containing the power of purification, spreading towards the evil spirits, trying to dispel the evil aura on them, but these evil spirits seemed to have a strong resistance to the power of purification. They only paused for a moment before continuing to attack; Chen Yu hid his body, shuttled between the evil spirits, and found the right opportunity to stab them with the spiritual dagger at their vital points, but the evil spirits' bodies were neither real nor virtual, and the dagger could only pass through their bodies after stabbing, making it difficult to cause substantial damage; Zhao Gang once again stood in the front, blocking most of the frontal attacks with a sturdy shield. Every time he resisted, his arms were numb, and his body was increasingly weakened by the erosion of the evil power. Everyone was caught in an extremely difficult and bitter battle.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yun struggled to maintain his spiritual shield while carefully observing the evil spirits' movements, trying to find their weaknesses. After some observation, he discovered that every time the evil spirits attacked, the black mist around them would thin for a moment. During this brief moment, their bodies would become relatively solid. Perhaps this was the opportunity to inflict effective damage on them.
"Everyone, pay attention. The moment the mist on the evil spirits' bodies becomes thinner and their bodies solidify after attacking is their weakness. We must concentrate our strength to attack at that time!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. When everyone heard this, they were cheered up. Although they were all exhausted at this moment and most of their spiritual power had been consumed, they still forced themselves to cheer up and wait for the right opportunity to come.
Finally, the evil spirits launched another attack. At the moment the attack ended, as Lin Yun observed, the black mist on their bodies became thinner and their bodies became more solid.
"Attack!" Lin Yun commanded, and everyone unleashed their remaining spiritual energy, blasting it towards the evil spirits. Suddenly, a dazzling array of spiritual light intertwined, transforming into dazzling and powerful beams that fiercely slammed into the evil spirits. This attack was truly effective. The struck evil spirits roared in pain, cracks appearing across their bodies. Black mist began to violently swirl and dissipate. Some weaker evil spirits were even extinguished by the blow, transforming into tiny specks of black light that vanished into the air.
Seeing this method was effective, everyone pressed on, continuing to exploit the evil spirits' weaknesses and launch attacks. With everyone's concerted efforts, the evil spirits gradually gave way and began to flee in defeat. Their figures gradually became illusory, eventually disappearing into the darkness. The black light enveloping the hall also gradually dimmed. Finally, everyone was temporarily out of danger and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, everyone did not let down their guard. They knew that the "World-Destroying Evil Book" was still a huge threat and they had to find a way to destroy it. So, everyone once again cast their eyes on the book on the stone platform. The evil aura of the book seemed to have weakened a little, but it still made people feel chilled.
Lin Yun cautiously approached the stone platform, wanting to examine the scroll carefully to see if there was any way to completely destroy it. When he reached the edge of the stone platform and reached out to touch the scroll, it suddenly trembled slightly, as if sensing Lin Yun's intention. Then, the pages automatically flipped open, and an invisible force surged towards Lin Yun's sea of consciousness, attempting to invade his mind. Lin Yun quickly withdrew his hand, channeling his spiritual energy to protect his sea of consciousness. His expression became solemn, realizing that this scroll was even more difficult than he had imagined, and that destroying it might not be so easy.
As everyone gathered around the scroll, racking their brains to figure out how to destroy it, Su Yao suddenly discovered some tiny words and patterns carved into the side of the stone platform. She hurriedly moved closer to examine it, discovering that these words contained some secrets about the "Hellish Book of Destruction." It turned out that this scroll was created by an evil power in ancient times. It contained many forbidden evil techniques and evil spells that could control all living things. Once fully unleashed, the world of immortal cultivation would be plunged into endless darkness and chaos.
To destroy the tome, one must gather the five "Hunyuan Holy Crystals," each sealed in a different location. Only with their pure power can the evil within the tome be completely purged and eliminated. Furthermore, the text hints that a mysterious evil force has been searching for the "Hunyuan Holy Crystals," attempting to use the power of the "World-Destroying Evil Scripture" and the Holy Crystals to achieve their ambition to rule the world of immortal cultivation.
"It seems that we have to find these five 'Hunyuan Holy Crystals' first. Only in this way can we destroy this evil book and stop their conspiracy." Su Yao frowned and said. When everyone heard this, they also realized the urgency of the matter. Although they were physically and mentally exhausted at this moment, for the peace of the immortal world, they had no intention of retreating. They decided to leave the nest of this mysterious evil force and embark on the journey to find the "Hunyuan Holy Crystal".
Everyone packed up their belongings and carefully circumvented the various traps and remaining evil forces in the hall, heading back toward the passage they had come from. Along the way, they remained cautious, constantly on the lookout for new dangers.
When they walked out of the eerie building, the valley outside was still filled with a strong evil atmosphere. Fortunately, those black-robed men and puppets had been dealt with by them, and there were no enemies to stop them for the time being.
Lin Yun and the others, piloting their magical flying devices, slowly ascended into the air. Taking one last look at the sinister underground valley, they vowed to find the "Primordial Primordial Crystals," destroy the "World-Destroying Evil Scripture," and completely thwart the conspiracy of this mysterious evil force. They then flew off into the distance, following the approximate directions indicated by the inscription on the side of the stone platform, searching for the whereabouts of the five "Primordial Primordial Crystals." However, they knew this journey would be fraught with difficulties and dangers. The safety of the entire cultivation world depended on them, so they had no choice but to forge ahead, refusing even the slightest retreat.
Following clues from written records, they flew towards the northern reaches of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, where a forgotten ancient ruin was rumored to hold the potential to reveal the first "Primordial Primordial Crystal." Along the way, they passed through many unfamiliar regions, inquiring from both cultivators and mortals alike. While most knew nothing about the so-called "Primordial Primordial Crystal," they occasionally received vague clues from older cultivators, guiding them on their journey.
Finally, after flying for several days, they arrived at the edge of a desolate desert. Powerful spiritual storms often raged through the desert, blowing up a cloud of yellow sand, making it impossible to see what was inside. And the ancient ruins seemed to be hidden deep within the desert.
"It seems that we have to cross this desert. Everyone, be prepared. The desert is full of dangers and we must not get separated." Lin Yun looked at the desert in front of him and said to everyone seriously. Everyone nodded, adjusted their state, and then stepped into this desert full of unknowns together. What kind of difficulties and obstacles will be waiting for them?
As soon as they entered the desert, they sensed its peril. The scorching sun mercilessly baked the earth, raising the ground temperature to an astonishing climax. Even with their spiritual energy shielding them, they could still feel the unbearable heat. Furthermore, the desert's spiritual energy storms appeared with unpredictable regularity. Once caught in one, the powerful winds and the mixed sand and rocks could cause severe damage, leaving anyone bruised and battered.
What's more troublesome is that there seems to be a mysterious force in the desert that can interfere with spiritual perception. Everyone's originally sharp spiritual perception has become very dull here, making it difficult to detect the coming of danger in advance.
Everyone could only cautiously observe their surroundings with their naked eyes, slowly moving deeper into the desert. Chen Yu, relying on his skills in concealment and tracking, explored the path ahead, trying to find some traces that might lead to the ruins. However, apart from the yellow sand, it was difficult to find any other useful clues in the desert. The journey forward became extremely difficult, and every step required great effort.
As everyone struggled forward, the sand beneath their feet suddenly surged violently, and then several huge sand beasts emerged from the sand. These sand beasts were covered in hard sand armor, had sharp claws, and huge mouths. They could also spray spiritual energy bullets composed of sand from their mouths and attacked everyone.
"Be careful, it's a sand beast!" Lin Yun shouted, and everyone hurriedly stopped and cast a spiritual shield, ready to deal with the sand beast's attack. The sand beasts roared and rushed over. They were extremely fast, walking on the sand as if it were flat ground. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of everyone, waving their claws and hitting the spiritual shield fiercely, making a loud bang. The shield flickered under their attack and was on the verge of collapse.
Not daring to slack off, everyone immediately launched a counterattack. Lin Yun wielded his spiritual staff, unleashing a series of spiritual blades, slashing at the sand beasts' eyes and joints, attempting to find their weak points. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, the music transforming into ripples of spiritual energy that surged toward the sand beasts, disrupting their attack rhythm. Chen Yu concealed himself, circled behind the sand beasts, and stabbed their relatively vulnerable abdomens with his spiritual dagger. Zhao Gang once again stood in front, blocking the sand beasts' frontal attacks with his shield, while finding the right opportunity to strike them with his own. Instantly, everyone and the sand beasts were engaged in a fierce melee, the sounds of battle echoing across the desert, stirring up gusts of yellow sand.
After a fierce battle, the group finally found the sand beasts' weaknesses. Although their abdomens were protected by sand armor, they were relatively weak, and their eyes were also their most vulnerable parts. Everyone concentrated their efforts on attacking these weak spots. Gradually, the sand beasts began to be unable to resist, and wounds appeared on their bodies, and their movements became slower.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, several sand beasts fell to the ground one after another, turning into piles of yellow sand and dissipating in the air. Although this battle was won with difficulty, it also allowed everyone to accumulate some experience in fighting in the desert.
"Is everyone alright? Let's keep going. We must find the ruins and the 'Hunyuan Holy Crystal' as soon as possible," Lin Yun encouraged the slightly exhausted group. They supported each other, brushed off the dust, and headed deeper into the desert. Their eyes were filled with determination. Although the road ahead was still filled with unknown dangers, they knew they shouldered the responsibility of protecting the world of immortal cultivation and could not give up, no matter what. Could they successfully find the ancient ruins and the 'Hunyuan Holy Crystal' hidden deep in the desert? Everything remained uncertain, and the story would slowly unfold.
