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

Inside the stone chamber, the roar of battle was deafening. Spiritual energy and sinister shadows intertwined, and the battle intensified. We were locked in a desperate struggle with the black-robed men and their formidable shadow puppets. Now, the soon-to-open stone door became our only hope of escape.

I gritted my teeth and unleashed the spells from the inherited secret manual with all my might. Rays of golden spiritual energy surged from my palm like surging waves, fiercely impacting the group of shadow puppets ahead. Each ray of light contained immense power, and wherever it passed, the shadow puppets were shattered, vanishing in wisps of black smoke.

Lin Xiao wasn't to be outdone. His movements were lightning-fast, weaving freely among the swarm of shadow puppets. The sword in his hand gleamed with a chilling cold light, infused with spiritual energy. Every swing unleashed a wave of sharp sword energy. Like razor-sharp blades, these sword energies precisely slashed at the approaching shadow puppets, shredding them to pieces. However, the shadow puppets were simply too numerous. As soon as one fell, new ones surged in from all directions, seemingly endless.

Su Yao, in the back, was doing her utmost to maintain the enormous spiritual aura. She closed her eyes tightly, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, but she paid no attention. This spiritual aura enveloped all of us, not only enhancing our defenses, making it difficult for the Shadow Puppet's attacks to cause substantial damage to us, but also increasing our attack power, making each of our attacks more powerful.

The leading elder cast spells to repel the attacks of the shadow puppets while keeping a close eye on the stone gate. "Everyone, keep trying! The stone gate will open soon. Hold on!" His voice was particularly loud in the noisy battlefield, giving us the courage to continue fighting.

Seeing our stubborn resistance and the stone gate about to open, the black-robed figure's expression darkened. "Hmph, thinking of escaping from here? Dream on!" he roared, rapidly forming hand seals and muttering something. With his movements, the evil aura emanating from the surrounding shadow puppets intensified, their forms becoming more ethereal, their speed and attack power instantly increasing significantly.

"Oh no, he is increasing the strength of the shadow puppet again, everyone be careful!" I warned loudly, and at the same time gathered the remaining spiritual power in my body into my palm again, preparing to deal with this more violent attack.

After being strengthened by the black-robed man, the shadow puppets rushed towards us like crazy. Their attacks became even more frantic. Some of them pounced directly, trying to penetrate our defenses with their illusory bodies; others spewed black mucus from their mouths. The mucus was highly corrosive and would quickly corrode our spiritual shields and clothing if it touched us.

Facing this overwhelming attack, we dared not slack off even a little. The disciples of the Immortal Sect also displayed their unique skills one after another. Various colorful spiritual lights bloomed in the stone chamber, and a thrilling melee broke out with the shadow puppets.

At this critical moment, the rune light on the stone door finally reached its peak. With a dull roar, the stone door slowly opened a crack. A bright light shone through the crack, a ray of hope, as if beckoning us to escape this dark predicament.

"Now is the time, everyone charge!" The leading elder gave an order and rushed towards the stone gate first.

We followed without hesitation, fending off the attacks of the shadow puppets while desperately pushing our way through the stone gate. Lin Xiao and I led the way, clearing the path with powerful spells and sharp sword energy. Su Yao was in the middle, maintaining a spiritual aura to ensure everyone's safety during the breakout. The disciples of the Immortal Sect coordinated and supported each other, forming a tight fighting group.

However, the black-robed man wouldn't let us succeed so easily. He flashed, instantly blocking our way in front of the stone gate. "Want to leave? Get past me first!" he said coldly. With a wave of his hands, a black curtain of light unfolded before him, completely sealing the stone gate.

"Damn it! You're courting death!" I shouted angrily, gathering all the remaining spiritual energy in my body and preparing to launch a powerful attack. I knew that if I didn't break through the black-robed man's obstruction at this moment, all our previous efforts would be in vain. More importantly, those crucial clues to the fate of the immortal world would not be brought back to the Immortal Sect.

Lin Xiao and Su Yao also understood the severity of the situation, and they also pushed their spiritual power to the extreme. Lin Xiao gripped his sword tightly, posing a full-scale attack stance, while Su Yao quickly formed seals with both hands, preparing to cast a more powerful auxiliary spell.

The disciples of the Immortal Sect also stopped and stood ready, ready for a life-and-death duel with the man in black robes.

I took a deep breath, muttered something, and thrust my hands forward. A brilliant golden beam of spiritual energy burst forth from my palms. This beam contained all my spiritual power, and its power was so great that it could destroy any obstacle in my path.

Lin Xiao shouted, then launched his attack. He swung his sword, unleashing his ultimate move—"Sky-Splitting Slash." A massive sword energy emanated from the sword, forming a crescent-shaped blade, its edges gleaming with a sharp light. Like a massive sickle, it slashed towards the black-robed figure.

Su Yao finished forming seals with her hands and let out a soft cry. A silver light flew out from her hands and instantly merged into the attacks of Lin Xiao and I. This light not only increased the power of our attacks, but also enabled them to better penetrate the black light curtain set up by the black-robed man.

The black-robed figure's expression changed slightly upon witnessing our fierce attack, but he showed no sign of retreating. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted an obscure incantation. As he chanted, the black light curtain before him shone brightly, becoming thicker and more solid, attempting to resist our combined attack.

Our attack collided instantly with the black-robed man's defense, emitting a deafening roar. The entire stone chamber trembled violently, as if it might collapse at any moment. The spiritual energy and the black light curtain squeezed and rubbed against each other, splashing out a dazzling shower of sparks.

In this fierce clash, although our attacks were powerful, the black-robed man's defense was also extremely tenacious. The two sides were deadlocked, and for a while it was difficult to determine the winner.

However, we don't have time to continue to stalemate with him at this moment. Because every second of delay, the shadow puppets may reorganize a more fierce attack, and we also have to worry about whether more members of the Shadow Cult will come to reinforce.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, an idea suddenly struck me. I remembered the glowing crystal ball I had found on the stone platform. The map it displayed might provide us with some ideas for a breakthrough.

I quickly pulled the crystal ball from my storage ring and concentrated on examining it. As I channeled my spiritual energy into the crystal ball, the map within reappeared. I examined it carefully, noting that, in addition to the red dots marking the scattered areas and the Shadow Cult's active areas, there were also a number of blue lines. These lines seemed to represent some kind of spiritual energy flow path or hidden passage.

I looked in the direction of the blue lines and found that one of the lines actually pointed to the stone chamber we were in, and there seemed to be a hidden exit somewhere in the stone chamber.

"Don't fight him, I found a possible exit, follow me!" I shouted, put away the crystal ball, and rushed in the direction indicated by the map.

When Lin Xiao, Su Yao and the disciples of the Immortal Sect heard this, although they were a little confused, they followed without hesitation.

The black-robed man was startled at our sudden change of direction, then reacted and tried to chase us. However, he was pinned down by our combined attack and couldn't escape for a while. He could only watch helplessly as we ran towards the hidden exit.

We followed the map and quickly moved through the stone chamber. Along the way, we had to be careful to avoid the shadow puppets that appeared from time to time, but fortunately, we were fast enough and had a clear goal, so we soon arrived at the hidden exit.

This is an inconspicuous cave located in the corner of the stone chamber. The entrance is covered by some vines and weeds. If you don’t look carefully, it is difficult to find that there is an exit here.

"This is it, let's go!" I shouted and rushed into the cave first.

Lin Xiao, Su Yao, and the other disciples of the Immortal Sect also entered the cave entrance and entered a narrow passage. The passage was dark and damp, with a pungent smell, but we had no time to care about it at the moment. We just ran forward desperately, hoping to escape this dangerous place as soon as possible.

The man in black robes was chasing us relentlessly. As he chased us, he roared, "Don't even think about running away! I will catch up to you, kill you all, and take back the clues!"

We ran in the tunnel for a while when we heard a loud roar behind us. Looking back, we saw that the black-robed figure had cast a spell at the tunnel entrance, trying to blow it up and trap us inside.

"Hurry, everyone speed up, don't let him succeed!" I shouted loudly and quickened my pace.

We ran furiously through the passage, not knowing how long we had been running, when we finally saw a glimmer of light ahead. The light grew brighter and brighter, and we knew the exit was right before our eyes.

When we rushed out of the tunnel, we found ourselves in a desolate wilderness, surrounded by dense forests, with rolling mountains in the distance and dark clouds in the sky, as if a storm was about to come.

"We finally escaped, but we can't let our guard down. We have to hurry back to the Immortal Sect and hand over these clues to the guardians and elders." The leading elder said. Although his face was tired, his eyes were determined.

We all nodded, gathered our clothes and magic weapons, and prepared to return to the Immortal Sect. However, just as we were about to leave, a group of dark shadows suddenly emerged from the forest. These shadows were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded us again.

"It's the Shadow Cult people again. They're really haunting us!" Lin Xiao said angrily.

It seems that if we want to return to the Immortal Sect safely, we still have to go through a tough battle, and those key clues related to the fate of the Immortal Cultivation World also require us to do our best to protect them.

In this desolate wilderness, facing the reappearance of the Shadow Cult members, whether we can successfully get rid of their entanglement and return to the Immortal Sect safely with clues has become another severe test before us.
