Everyone looked at the small, softly glowing island before them, their eyes filled with anticipation and caution. They cautiously approached the island, but beneath the seemingly calm surface lay a hidden danger. As soon as they stepped into the surrounding waters, a powerful suction surged, threatening to drag them into the abyss.

"Everyone, be careful! This water's weird! Steady yourself!" Lin Yun shouted, quickly channeling his spiritual energy to try to resist the suction. The others also exerted their spiritual energy to steady themselves, but the suction grew stronger and stronger. The surrounding water began to churn violently, forming massive whirlpools. Sharp spiritual energy spikes were faintly visible within the whirlpools; being caught in them would have been disastrous.

Faced with this turbulent vortex and its powerful suction, everyone dared not slack off. Lin Yun waved his staff, casting a spiritual barrier towards the water below, attempting to block the suction. After the barrier fell, the suction around them indeed weakened slightly, but the impact of the vortex continued to impact the barrier, causing it to flicker and become shaky.

Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the melody transformed into spiritual power ripples that spread towards the vortex, interfering with the vortex's spiritual power circulation, causing the vortex's rotation speed to slow down slightly; Chen Yu hid his body, observing the changes in the vortex along the edge of the barrier, looking for weak points that might be broken through; Zhao Gang was on one side, using his shield to block the spiritual power bone spurs that occasionally emerged from the vortex and shot towards everyone. Everyone worked together, moving their feet towards the island bit by bit with difficulty, and every step forward required great effort.

After a long stalemate with the whirlpool, Chen Yu finally discovered that the source of the whirlpool's suction seemed to be concentrated in several specific locations at the bottom of the water, where spiritual power gathered into small spiritual power nodes. As long as these nodes were destroyed, the threat of the whirlpool might be eliminated.

"Brother Lin Yun, I've found the key to the vortex. It's at those spiritual nodes underwater. Let's concentrate our forces and attack!" Chen Yu shouted. Upon hearing this, Lin Yun immediately directed everyone to pool their spiritual energy, transforming it into several sharp spiritual beams, which blasted down towards the underwater spiritual nodes Chen Yu pointed out.

With a dull roar, the spiritual power beam hit the target accurately. The spiritual power nodes under the water shattered under the powerful attack. The surrounding whirlpools instantly lost their power support and slowly subsided. The water surface also returned to calm. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly quickened their pace towards the island. At this moment, they were very close to the location of the "Hunyuan Holy Crystal". They became more and more excited and nervous.

They successfully reached the island, only to discover a small stone platform in its center. Atop it rested a brilliantly radiant crystal. The pure and vast spiritual energy emanating from it was undoubtedly the "Primordial Saint Crystal" they had been searching for. However, before they could even approach the platform, a transparent spiritual barrier illuminated, its runes flickering. This barrier was clearly another protective barrier for the Saint Crystal.

"This restriction feels more complex than any I've encountered before. Don't worry, observe carefully and find a way to break it," Lin Yun said. Everyone gathered around and began to carefully examine the spiritual restriction. Su Yao discovered that the runes on this restriction contained the aura of time and space power, and seemed to have a subtle connection with the surrounding space. If the wrong rune was touched, it could cause dangerous situations such as spatial distortion.

Based on Su Yao's discovery, everyone tried to find a way to break the barrier by following the connection between the runes and the power of space. Lin Yun carefully injected spiritual power into a specific rune, trying to guide the restricted spiritual power to flow in the direction they desired, thereby opening a gap.

But who would have thought that as soon as the operation was performed, the entire restriction began to vibrate violently, and the surrounding space began to distort. Everyone felt as if their bodies were being pulled by an invisible force, and movement became extremely difficult. Moreover, the pulling force was still increasing, as if it was going to drag them into an unknown space crack, and the situation became extremely critical.

"Oh no, we've triggered the backlash mechanism of the restriction. Everyone, find a way to stabilize your body and don't get sucked into the space crack!" Lin Yun shouted. Everyone hurriedly used various spiritual power techniques, trying their best to resist the pulling force of space, but that force was too strong. Their resistance seemed to be a drop in the bucket. Everyone was struggling to hold on, and their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.

Just when everyone felt that they were about to be unable to hold on and were about to be swallowed by the space crack, Lin Yun suddenly remembered that he had seen a record about a similar time and space restriction in an ancient book. It mentioned that if the reverse time and space spiritual power could be used to hedge, it might be possible to break the deadlock and stabilize the space.

Despite the dire situation, Lin Yun forced himself to remain calm. He closed his eyes and, relying on his memory, attempted to direct the spiritual energy within him to reverse the properties of the force of time and space, then released it towards the area of ​​space most severely distorted. Seeing Lin Yun's actions, the others followed suit, exerting their full strength in their own methods, directing the reversed spiritual energy of time and space in the same direction.

A miracle happened. With the injection of reverse space-time spiritual power, the distorted space around them gradually stabilized. The pulling force that wanted to swallow everyone became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely. Although the spiritual power restriction still existed, at least everyone was temporarily out of the danger of being swallowed by the space crack and was able to catch their breath for a while.

"Is everyone okay? Now that the restriction is temporarily stable, let's quickly study ways to break it. We can't make any more mistakes." Lin Yun said while panting. Everyone nodded and gathered around the restriction again, perking up and observing the runes again.

After this recent struggle, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the connection between the spiritual energy flow of this restriction and the power of time and space. This time, they more carefully analyzed the relationship between the runes and, after some calculations, found a new order for injecting spiritual energy, which might be able to break this spiritual energy restriction without triggering the backlash of spatial distortion.

Following the new method, everyone slowly injected their spiritual energy into the corresponding runes one by one, taking each step cautiously and constantly monitoring the restriction's reaction. With the final infusion of spiritual energy, the runes on the restriction glowed brightly, followed by a series of crackling sounds. Cracks appeared on the restriction's surface before it shattered with a bang, dissipating into tiny specks of light in the air. The "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" finally appeared before everyone's eyes, unimpeded.

Lin Yun stepped forward, excitedly picking up the "Primordial Saint Crystal." The moment he touched it, a surge of pure and powerful spiritual energy coursed through his arm, sending a wave of comfort and a surge of spiritual energy. Everyone's faces were filled with joy and relief. After all, after countless trials and tribulations, they had finally found four Primordial Saint Crystals, bringing them a significant step closer to destroying the "World-Destroying Evil Scripture" and completely shattering the mysterious evil's plot.

"Great, we succeeded again, but we can't relax yet, there is still one last holy crystal waiting for us to find." Lin Yun said, and everyone nodded. They knew that the mission was not yet completed, and the joy at this moment was only temporary. There were more difficult tasks waiting for them ahead.

After a short rest, everyone prepared to leave the Yunwu Immortal Swamp and continue their search for the whereabouts of the last "Hunyuan Saint Crystal". Just as they were about to leave the island, Chen Yu suddenly discovered some strange scratches on a reef on the edge of the island. These scratches resembled some kind of ancient writing. After Su Yao identified and interpreted them, she found that they vaguely mentioned a place called "Dark Night Valley", which seemed to be related to the mysterious treasure. Perhaps the last "Hunyuan Saint Crystal" was hidden there.

"It seems our next target is this 'Dark Night Valley.' Just hearing the name gives the impression that it won't be peaceful. Everyone, be prepared for a new challenge." Lin Yun said to the crowd. They smiled at each other, their eyes full of determination. They put away the Saint Crystals and headed out of the Immortal Swamp, embarking on the journey to the "Dark Night Valley." What difficulties and obstacles awaited them? Everything was still unknown, and the subsequent story would slowly unfold.

After emerging from the Cloudy Marsh, everyone followed the clues they had obtained and headed in the general direction of the "Dark Night Valley." Along the way, they recalled their experiences in the marsh. The thrilling battles, the perilous crises, and the joy of finally harvesting the Saint Crystal all served as motivation for them to continue on their journey.

Although they were exhausted physically and mentally at this moment, their faith in their hearts became stronger. In order to protect the peace of the world of immortal cultivation, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they were fearless and would go all out to find the last "Hunyuan Holy Crystal" and end the evil shadow that shrouded the world of immortal cultivation.
