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

We cautiously entered the slowly opening stone door, revealing a spacious stone chamber. The walls were inlaid with softly glowing spirit crystals, illuminating the interior as bright as day. In the center of the chamber stood a massive stone platform, upon which lay several ancient scrolls and a number of peculiarly shaped magical artifacts. It was from these objects that emanated the rich spiritual energy, reminiscent of a legacy.

The mysterious voice continued to echo in our ears: "These are the secrets that the Shadow Cult has always hidden. They concern the true origin of the inheritance and the core of their evil plan."

We slowly approached the stone platform, our gaze fixed on the ancient scrolls. I gently lifted one and unfolded it. The text was ancient and obscure, but relying on the ability to decipher ancient texts I'd accumulated while studying the inherited secret manuals, I managed to decipher the contents.

As I read deeper, my expression grew more serious. It turns out this inheritance isn't simply a chance left by an ancient power, as we'd previously thought. It's actually a sealed evil force that once threatened to bring calamity to the world of immortal cultivation.

At that time, a powerful demon cultivator sought to dominate the world of immortal cultivation. He gathered various evil techniques and powers from the world, fused them together, and created this so-called "inheritance." However, this power was too strong and evil, and soon lost control, triggering a catastrophe that swept across the entire world of immortal cultivation.

The major righteous sects of the immortal cultivation world united, and after an arduous battle, they finally defeated the demonic cultivator and sealed the evil legacy, hoping it would never be seen again. However, at some point, the Shadow Cult discovered the sealed location and attempted to unseal the legacy, using the evil power within to realize their ambition to rule the immortal cultivation world.

"No wonder the Shadow Cult is so unscrupulous in wanting to seize this inheritance. It turns out they want to use this evil power to do evil." Lin Xiao said angrily, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes full of anger.

Su Yao also said with a worried look on her face: "If they really unseal this inheritance and use it, the consequences will be unimaginable. The entire cultivation world may be plunged into a disaster even more tragic than before."

The leading elder's face was grim. He said solemnly, "We must immediately inform the Immortal Sect's guardians and the entire Immortal Cultivation World of this news, so that everyone can clearly understand the seriousness of the matter. At the same time, we must find a way to reseal this inheritance and must not let the Shadow Cult's conspiracy succeed."

Just as we were discussing our next move, suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the walls surrounding the stone chamber, and dark shadows emerged from them. These shadows were like ghosts, moving at an extremely fast speed, and surrounded us in an instant.

"Oh no, it's the Shadow Cult's Shadow Puppet! Everyone be careful!" A disciple of the Immortal Sect shouted loudly.

These shadow puppets exuded a strong evil aura, their eyes flashed with strange red light, and they pounced towards us with their fangs and claws bared.

We reacted immediately, casting spells and brandishing weapons to resist. I quickly put away the inheritance scroll in my hand and placed it in the storage ring. Then I formed hand seals and cast a defensive spell, forming a spiritual shield in front of me.

Lin Xiao shouted loudly, brandishing his sword and charging into the group of shadow puppets. Every swing of his sword released a sharp sword energy, slicing the approaching shadow puppets into pieces. However, these shadow puppets seemed endless. No sooner had some been chopped off than more sprang out from the wall.

Su Yao cast a binding spell, and several spiritual ropes flew out of her hands, trying to tie some shadow puppets together and restrict their movements. However, the shadow puppets' bodies were extremely illusory, and the spiritual ropes could only temporarily trap them for a short while. Soon they broke free and continued to attack.

The disciples of the Immortal Sect also unleashed their respective specialties, engaging in a fierce melee with the shadow puppets. For a moment, the stone chamber was filled with shimmering spiritual energy and the cries of killing shook the heavens.

Although we fought hard, the number of shadow puppets was too large, and they seemed not to be afraid of pain. They kept attacking our defense line, gradually putting us in trouble.

"This is not a solution. We have to find a way to find the source of these shadow puppets and eliminate them all!" I shouted loudly. While resisting the attacks, I carefully observed the movement patterns of the shadow puppets, trying to find their flaws.

After some observation, I discovered that although these shadow puppets seemed to attack in a disorderly manner, their locations each time seemed to be related to certain rune marks on the walls of the stone chamber. Those rune marks would flicker slightly when the shadow puppets appeared, as if providing them with some kind of guidance.

"Everyone, pay attention to the rune marks on the wall. Those may be the key to the appearance of the shadow puppets. We should concentrate our attacks on the places with rune marks and try to cut off their source!" I quickly told everyone about this discovery.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately adjusted the direction of their attack and concentrated their firepower on the area with rune marks on the wall.

Lin Xiao rushed towards a wall densely covered in rune markings. He brandished his sword, unleashing a powerful burst of sword energy that struck the wall directly. The sword energy collided with the wall with a loud bang, and the rune markings on the wall suddenly glowed brightly. Then, several shadow puppets emerged from the wall, seemingly protecting the rune markings.

But Lin Xiao did not retreat. He continued to swing his sword and fought fiercely with the shadow puppets, while constantly attacking the rune marks on the wall with sword energy.

Su Yao also came to Lin Xiao. She cast an auxiliary attack spell, which enhanced Lin Xiao's attack power and enabled him to attack the rune marks on the wall more effectively.

Other disciples of the Immortal Sect also followed suit, concentrating their spiritual power to attack the rune marks on the wall.

As we attacked, the rune marks on the wall gradually lost their brilliance and stopped flickering, and fewer and fewer shadow puppets emerged from the wall.

Finally, when we broke through the last rune mark, no more shadow puppets emerged from the wall. The entire stone chamber suddenly became quiet, with only our heavy breathing as the only sound.

"We've finally gotten rid of these guys, but we can't let our guard down. We don't know how many dangers are waiting for us here." The elder leading the team wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

We nodded, fully aware that within this stone chamber brimming with secrets, new crises could arise at any moment. But we also understood that no matter how great the difficulties, we must continue our quest, seeking a way to completely resolve the Shadow Cult's conspiracy and reseal the inheritance, thus contributing our strength to protecting the entire world of immortal cultivation.

So, we once again turned our attention to the ancient scrolls and strange magic weapons on the stone platform, hoping to find more useful clues from them. At this time, outside the stone chamber, the situation in the world of immortal cultivation became more tense as the secret of this evil inheritance was gradually revealed. A larger-scale battle between good and evil seemed to be about to begin.
