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

Everyone stood outside the collapsed Lingxu Ancient Cave, gazing at the billowing dust. It took a moment for their minds to recover. Having just escaped such a desperate situation, everyone was still terrified. But they knew their mission to find the "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" was not yet complete and they could not rest.

Lin Yun spoke first, "We've already found three Saint Crystals, but the whereabouts of two are still unknown. A mysterious evil force is also lurking in the shadows, so we must be even more cautious with every step we take."

Su Yao nodded in agreement, and then said: "We each got a lot of clues before, but we haven't had time to verify them. Maybe we can sort them out again to see which direction is more likely to find the remaining Saint Crystals."

Chen Yu and Zhao Gang echoed their sentiments, and everyone sat down on the ground, listing all the clues they had gathered and carefully analyzing and discussing them. After careful consideration, they decided to head towards a place called "Cloud and Mist Fairy Marsh." It was said to be perpetually shrouded in mist and clouds, possessing a unique spiritual energy. Ancient rumors mentioned a connection to a mysterious treasure, and perhaps the remaining "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" was hidden there.

After determining their direction, they hurried towards the "Cloud and Mist Fairy Marsh." Along the way, they traversed dense forests, crossed surging rivers, and witnessed many bizarre sights. There were magical monkeys capable of speaking human language, frolicking on the branches, curiously observing the passing cultivators. There were also magical birds soaring freely in the sky, their tail feathers trailing a brilliant light, a truly breathtaking sight.

However, the closer they got to the "Cloud and Mist Fairy Swamp," the more eerie the surroundings became. The once refreshing air became sticky and tinged with a faint, rancid odor that made one frown. The ground became muddy and slippery, making walking quite difficult. From time to time, bubbles would emerge from the swamp, and the gas emitted when the bubbles burst had a mildly hallucinogenic effect. If it weren't for the deep spiritual power and constant vigilance of the crowd, they would have been in trouble.

Finally, they arrived at the edge of the "Cloudy Immortal Swamp." Before them lay a vast expanse of swampland, shrouded in a thick fog so dense it was nearly impossible to dissipate, making it impossible to discern the depths. Furthermore, faint fluctuations of spiritual energy lingered within the mist, seemingly interfering with their perception and making it difficult to detect any danger or traces of the Saint Crystal.

"There's something strange about this fog. Everyone, don't rush in. I'll try to use my spiritual power to explore the way." Lin Yun said, carefully extending a wisp of spiritual power into the fog. However, as soon as the spiritual power entered the fog, it seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. Not only was its forward speed extremely slow, but it was also constantly weakened, and soon completely dissipated.

"It seems that we can't force our way in. We have to find a way to disperse the fog, or find a way to identify the direction in the fog." Lin Yun said with a frown, and everyone gathered together and began to think hard about countermeasures.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Chen Yu spotted a few shimmering beads hanging from some waterweed at the edge of the swamp. Curious, he walked over to examine them. The beads felt warm to the touch, and while the spiritual energy fluctuations weren't strong, they possessed a sense of purity that stood out against the stench of the surroundings.

Chen Yu showed the beads to everyone. After examining them carefully, Su Yao said in surprise, "This seems to be the legendary 'Pure Spirit Water Beads'. It is said to have the effect of dispelling fog and purifying spiritual power. Perhaps we can use them to break through the thick fog in front of us."

Upon hearing this, everyone was delighted and hurriedly searched around the edge of the swamp. After some effort, they actually collected a number of "Pure Spirit Water Pearls." Lin Yun tried to inject spiritual power into one of the pearls, and it shone brightly. The surrounding mist actually slowly dissipated, revealing a small, clear swamp scene. Seeing this, everyone's confidence soared, and they prepared to use these pearls to explore deeper into the fairy swamp.

Each of them held a few "Pure Water Beads" and cautiously stepped into the "Misty Fairy Swamp." As the beads shone, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, allowing them to clearly see the path. However, the fairy swamp was fraught with danger. They hadn't walked far when the swamp beneath their feet suddenly surged, and several giant tentacles, covered in mud, stretched out from beneath the swamp and rolled towards them.

These tentacles were incredibly fast and powerful, catching everyone off guard and scrambling to dodge. Lin Yun shouted, "Everyone, be careful! There are monsters in this swamp. Pay attention to your feet and surroundings!" He swung his staff and unleashed a spiritual blade, slashing at the tentacles. However, the tentacles were incredibly tough, and the blade only left a shallow mark, inflicting no substantial damage.

Just as everyone was struggling with the tentacles, a muffled roar erupted from the swamp, followed by a massive swamp monster that slowly emerged from the water. This monster, shaped like an octopus, was covered in thick mud and hard scales. Its eyes were like two giant lamps, emitting a faint green light. It waved its many tentacles and attacked everyone again. Every time it waved, it stirred up large amounts of mud and water, splashing everyone all over.

Everyone dared not slack off, immediately unleashing their strongest spiritual defenses and counterattacks. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, the music transforming into spiritual ripples that shot towards the behemoth's eyes, attempting to disrupt its vision. Chen Yu concealed his form, weaving between the behemoth's tentacles, looking for opportunities to strike its relatively vulnerable joints with his spiritual dagger. Zhao Gang, shield raised, rushed forward, blocking the tentacles that rolled towards them, simultaneously ramming them with his shield to repel them. Lin Yun continuously unleashed various spiritual spells, attacking the behemoth from different directions. For a moment, the Immortal Swamp was ablaze with spiritual light, and shouts of killing shook the heavens. Everyone and the swamp behemoth were locked in a fierce and bitter battle.

During the fierce battle, Lin Yun discovered that although this swamp monster seemed to have thick skin and fierce attacks, every time it launched an attack, a gap would briefly appear at the connection between the scales on its body, and from the gap, it could be detected that the flow of spiritual power in its body was temporarily slowed down. Perhaps this was the flaw that could cause effective damage to it.

"Everyone, pay attention. After the giant beast attacks, there will be gaps where the scales connect. At that time, the flow of spiritual power in its body will slow down. Concentrate your strength to attack there!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. When everyone heard it, they were cheered up. They continued to avoid the giant beast's attacks while waiting for the right opportunity to come.

Finally, the beast launched another attack. As it retracted its tentacles, cracks appeared where its scales met. Everyone seized the opportunity and unleashed their remaining spiritual energy in unison, blasting the gaps in the beast's scales. For a moment, a cascade of spiritual energy intertwined, transforming into dazzling and powerful beams that fiercely struck the beast's vitals.

This time, the attack worked. The swamp beast, struck by the spiritual beam, roared in pain, several scales shattered from its body, dark green blood oozed from its wounds, and its movements became sluggish. The others pressed on, exploiting this weakness and launching attacks. With their concerted efforts, the beast gradually gave way. With another roar, its massive body slowly sank into the swamp, vanishing, leaving behind only a mess of muddy water and the gradually calming surface of the swamp.

"Huh, we finally repelled it, but there must be other dangers in this fairy swamp. We have to speed up the search for the Holy Crystal." Lin Yun said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Everyone nodded in agreement. After a short rest, they continued to use the power of the "Qingling Water Pearl" to walk towards the depths of the fairy swamp, hoping to find the remaining "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" as soon as possible. But they didn't know what kind of difficulties and obstacles would be waiting for them next.

The group walked cautiously through the Immortal Swamp for a long time. As they continued to advance, the surrounding fog gradually thinned, and a relatively open area appeared ahead. In the center of this area stood a stone platform emitting a strange light. The stone platform looked extremely ancient, engraved with various mysterious runes and patterns. The runes shimmered, as if telling stories from ancient times. The familiar spiritual power fluctuations of the "Huanyuan Holy Crystal" came from the stone platform. Everyone was delighted and hurriedly quickened their pace towards the stone platform.

But before they could get close to the stone platform, ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding swamp. Then, black spiritual chains emerged from the ground and wrapped around everyone. These chains were attached with evil power. Once entangled, everyone felt as if the spiritual power in their bodies was frozen and difficult to circulate. A new crisis had already arrived. Everyone hurriedly stopped and prepared to deal with this sudden attack.

"Everyone, be careful! These chains are tough to deal with. Let's find a way to cut them first!" Lin Yun shouted. He then swung his staff, unleashing a spiritual blade imbued with purifying power, slashing at the encircling chains. The other three followed suit. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, the melody transforming into spiritual ripples that disrupted the chains' spiritual energy fluctuations, creating flaws in their attacks. Chen Yu, concealing himself, weaved between the chains, stabbing them at their joints with his spiritual dagger, attempting to disrupt their structure. Zhao Gang held up his shield, blocking the chains that attacked them, and finding the right opportunity to strike them with his shield. A fierce melee ensued between the chains and the others.

After a difficult struggle, the group finally found a flaw in the spiritual chains. Concentrating their strength, they severed them one by one, transforming them into tiny specks of black light that dissipated into the air. With this crisis resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and, with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, slowly approached the mysteriously radiant stone platform. Could it truly hold the coveted "Hunyuan Holy Crystal"? Everything remained unknown, waiting for the story to unfold.
