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

Outside the valley, the one we had chosen as the location for our deployment, now bathed in sunlight, appeared peaceful and tranquil, yet held a hidden agenda. Lin Xiao, Su Yao, and I, along with many of our sect's disciples, had already taken our positions, waiting with bated breath, ready to confront those forces harboring ill intentions.

I'm hidden behind a concealed spiritual barrier, a barrier I've meticulously channeled and gathered from the surrounding spiritual energy, using techniques from secret manuals. At that moment, I'm intensely focused on the movements at the valley's entrance, every nerve on edge. My heart is like a taut bowstring, a mixture of nervousness and excitement. Nervous because this plan hinges on the safety of our sect and the fate of its legacy; even the slightest misstep could lead to catastrophic consequences. Excited by the anticipation of witnessing the humiliation of those greedy individuals who fall into our trap, making them pay the price for their greed.

Lin Xiao lurked in the forest on one side of the valley, tightly gripping the sword whose secrets he had already begun to glimpse. His gaze was sharp, like a cheetah poised for action. His fingers rested lightly on the hilt, ready to trigger the meticulously designed sword energy triggers. The placement of each trigger had been carefully chosen, ensuring he could deliver a surprising blow to the enemy at the crucial moment. His expression was focused and serious, fully aware of the importance of this operation. In his heart, the belief in protecting the sect and its legacy burned like a blazing flame, fervent and unwavering, and he would not tolerate even the slightest mistake.

Su Yao, with her keen perception, controlled the situation from another key position in the valley. Like a commanding general, she skillfully integrated her spiritual power with the surrounding arrangements, weaving an invisible net. This ensured that if an enemy entered, the various traps and formations would work together to maximize their effectiveness, dealing a heavy blow to the attacker. Her eyes shone with calmness and wisdom, constantly monitoring every fluctuation of spiritual energy in the valley, ready to respond with the most precise response to the changing situation.

The disciples of the sect, hidden in the mountains and forests, suppressed their inner tension, quietly awaiting the impending scene. Though they hadn't personally experienced many crises of this magnitude, they now summoned their courage for the sake of their sect's honor and legacy. They hid within the dense forest, employing various concealment spells to perfectly conceal their forms, as if blending seamlessly into the very landscape. They waited for the crucial moment, ready to create sufficient momentum to aid us in this meticulously planned deception.

Time slipped slowly in this tense wait, each second seeming to stretch infinitely longer. Finally, a dark mass of figures appeared in the distant sky. The sects and forces that coveted our inheritance had united, rushing towards the valley with overwhelming force, clearly eager to seize the opportunity we held.

"Here they come!" I whispered to myself, concentrating even more, preparing for whatever might happen next. I adjusted my posture slightly, ensuring I could better observe the enemy's movements while still being able to conceal myself.

As they approached, I could clearly sense the powerful spiritual energy emanating from them. They were numerous, and each sect had sent its elite disciples and even elder-level masters, demonstrating the seriousness with which they took this operation. The spiritual energy of these masters shone brightly, some like blazing flames, some like biting frost, and still others like dazzling stars. Together, they formed a terrifying aura.

The leading experts paused at the valley's entrance, surveying their surroundings cautiously, as if sensing something amiss. One of the black-robed elders frowned and said, "Hmph, this place may appear peaceful, but there's something strange about it. Everyone, be careful. Don't fall for their trap." His voice, deep and hoarse, tinged with a hint of alarm, echoed through the valley, heightening the already tense atmosphere.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard his words, worried they'd seen through our plan. But then I regained my composure. Our plan was so meticulous, every detail carefully considered; it shouldn't be so easily discovered. I took a deep breath and told myself to remain calm, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Just as they were hesitating whether to move forward, Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and quietly triggered a sword energy trigger device that was closer to them.

"Whoosh!" A sharp sword energy suddenly shot out from the ground, hurtling towards the group. This sudden attack startled them, and they all cast defensive spells to block it. The sword energy whistled past, bringing with it a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and collided with the spiritual power flashes from their hastily cast defensive spells, splashing a brilliant shower of sparks.

"An ambush indeed!" the black-robed elder shouted, his face devoid of alarm. Instead, a flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he'd found a weakness. He quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to identify more hidden attack points so he could organize an effective counterattack.

However, this was only the beginning. With the triggering of this first wave of sword energy, the entire valley seemed to instantly come alive. The spiritual barrier I had erected shone brightly, and waves of powerful spiritual energy surged out like waves, sweeping towards those people. The spiritual barrier shone with dazzling light, like a solid wall, firmly sealing the valley entrance. Each wave of spiritual energy contained a powerful force, intertwining with each other to form an insurmountable torrent of power.

Su Yao also launched an offensive. Her special arrangement, combining martial arts and the power of her sword, took effect. Some seemingly ordinary stones and trees suddenly burst into a powerful force, transforming into sharp weapons or forming barriers, leaving the intruders overwhelmed. The stones that had been calm suddenly flew up and smashed towards the enemy like cannonballs, each impact accompanied by a dull sound and flying debris. The trees stretched out their branches, as if transformed into giant tentacles, tightly entangling the enemies who tried to approach, making them unable to move.

The disciples of the sect also shouted in unison, using their spiritual energy to amplify their voices, creating the momentum of a galloping army, as if countless masters were hidden in the valley, preparing to engage the invaders in a life-or-death battle. The shouts echoed through the valley, deafening, further disturbing the enemy's mind, and they were thrown into confusion by the sudden attack and the overwhelming shouting.

Those sects, once so confident, were now thrown into disarray, fending off our attacks while scrambling to devise countermeasures. However, our interconnected strategies, with their various offensive and defensive methods working in unison, overwhelmed them. Some enemies were repelled by the spiritual barrier, falling heavily to the ground; others were struck by flying rocks, groaning in pain; still others were entangled in tree branches, struggling to break free.

The black-robed elder frowned upon seeing this. He knew that the situation would be dire if this continued, so he shouted, "Don't panic, concentrate your strength to break through one line of defense, find their main force, and then defeat them in one fell swoop!" His voice was particularly loud in the chaos, trying to calm everyone's minds and organize an effective counterattack.

Under his command, the sects began to adjust their strategies, concentrating the strength of some of their masters and launching a fierce attack towards the spiritual barrier where I was. They tried to rely on the powerful spiritual impact to forcibly break through this seemingly indestructible barrier.

I felt immense pressure. Their attacks, like a surging tide, came in wave after wave, constantly battering the spiritual barrier I maintained. Each impact was accompanied by a fierce clash of spiritual energy, as if countless heavy hammers were hammering at my heart. I gritted my teeth, channeling all my spiritual energy, unleashing the techniques from my secret manual to the utmost, attempting to strengthen the barrier and withstand their onslaught. Beads of sweat gradually formed on my forehead and trickled down my cheeks, but I ignored them. A single thought seized me: to hold this line of defense and prevent them from breaching.

Seeing the dire situation ahead of me, Lin Xiao rushed out from his hiding place without hesitation. He brandished his sword, harnessing its special abilities to unleash ever-more powerful blasts of sword energy, hurling them at those attacking me. His figure was lightning-fast, weaving through the enemy lines with ease. Each strike of his sword carried a fierce, defense-breaking force, forcing the enemy to divert their attention to counter his attacks. His eyes were filled with determination; he would protect his legacy and his sect at all costs.

Su Yao wasn't idle either. She quickly moved to Lin Xiao and me, coordinating our efforts. She injected her spiritual energy into our attacks and defenses, further strengthening our strength. At the same time, she used her perception to keep a constant eye on the enemy's movements, alerting us to potential dangers. Her presence was like a shot of adrenaline, making us more resolute and confident in this fierce battle.

Thanks to the close coordination of the three of us, and the assistance of other disciples from our sect, the sect's forces, despite their fierce offensive, were unable to break through our defenses. They began to grow impatient, and their attacks became increasingly disorganized. Some, disregarding the safety of their companions, launched blind attacks, only to put themselves in even greater danger. Others, blaming each other, echoed across the battlefield.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, suddenly, a strange spiritual power fluctuation came from the sky. This fluctuation was extremely powerful and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

A mysterious man in white slowly descended from the sky, atop a flying sword. His face was stern, and he exuded a formidable aura. His spiritual energy surged with such force that it surpassed that of anyone present. His presence was like a boulder dropped upon a tranquil lake, instantly breaking the stalemate on the battlefield.

"Who is this? Why did he suddenly appear?" I wondered in my heart, and at the same time looked at the uninvited guest vigilantly.

The sects and forces that were originally attacking us also stopped. They also looked at the man in white with confusion, as if they did not know him.

After landing, the white-clothed man's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, finally settling on the inheritance manual in my hand and the sword in Lin Xiao's. He frowned slightly and said, "You are fighting here for such an inheritance. This is truly unbecoming of a cultivator." His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, as if carrying an unquestionable majesty.

I felt a stir in my heart, sensing that this person was someone extraordinary. However, at this critical moment, I didn't dare to let my guard down easily, so I said, "Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here? This inheritance was obtained through countless hardships, and these people are trying to forcibly snatch it away. Naturally, we must resist."

The man in white shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that if you continue to fight like this, it will only tarnish this inheritance and cause more disputes. Why not hand it over to me? I will handle it properly and let it play its due role."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned. The sects and factions that had originally intended to seize the inheritance were stunned for a moment, then a flicker of smug delight flashed in their eyes, as if they had found an opportunity to reap the benefits. They secretly thought, if they could use this mysterious man's hand to seize the inheritance, it would be the best thing ever.

Lin Xiao, Su Yao, and I looked at each other in bewilderment. How could we possibly surrender this hard-earned inheritance so easily? We had overcome countless hardships and dangers in the mysterious ruins, and had passed countless trials to obtain this inheritance. It held our hopes and was the key to improving our strength and contributing to our sect and the world of immortal cultivation. But this person's power was unfathomable. How could we cope with this sudden change?

Just as everyone was deadlocked and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, a new event was about to unfold in this valley, and our ability to protect this legacy became even more uncertain. The three of us looked at each other, and we saw in each other's eyes a firm determination. No matter how great the difficulties and challenges, we must protect this legacy, even if it means risking our lives.

At this moment, the valley was completely silent. Only the spiritual energy emanating from the man in white was still gently rippling, as if awaiting a response from the crowd. In this silence, we silently adjusted our states, preparing for whatever might come next. To protect our inheritance and for the honor of our sect, we would never retreat.
