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

As we entered the Immortal Sect's gates, a familiar aura washed over us, gently soothing our exhausted bodies and minds. But we had no time to dwell on this warmth. The most important thing right now was to quickly inform the Immortal Sect's guardians and elders of everything we had experienced during this trip, as well as the crucial clues that would determine the fate of the Immortal Cultivation World.

We headed straight for the meeting hall. Along the way, the Immortal Sect disciples cast concerned glances at us, clearly noting our distress and fatigue. But at this moment, our minds were preoccupied with how to deal with the Shadow Cult's subsequent plot. We simply nodded in response, our steps never pausing for a moment.

Soon, we arrived at the meeting hall. Several elders were already inside, discussing some daily matters. Seeing us rush in with such serious expressions, they all looked surprised.

"You are finally back. How was your trip?" An elder asked first. His eyes swept over us one by one, with concern and worry in his eyes.

I took a deep breath, calming my slightly rapid breathing, and then walked towards the center of the hall. Once I was settled, I recounted in detail our journey with the investigation team, the secrets of the evil inheritance discovered in the mysterious stone chamber, and the numerous obstacles and fierce battles we encountered along the way from the Shadow Cult.

As I spoke, the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly solemn. The elders' expressions grew more serious, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes exchanging solemn glances. When I mentioned that the evil inheritance, if gathered and unleashed by the Shadow Cult, would bring catastrophic disaster to the world of immortal cultivation, the hall fell into a dead silence. Only my voice echoed in the empty hall, as if every word struck hard at the hearts of the people.

After I finished telling the whole story, the elder who led the team came forward and added some details that I had not mentioned, emphasizing the ruthlessness of the Shadow Cult in achieving its goals and the difficult response we had in the face of numerous difficulties.

"Alas, I never imagined the Shadow Cult's conspiracy would be so sinister, and the secrets of this evil inheritance so shocking." A senior elder slowly stood up and said with a worried look on his face, "If they succeed, the world of immortal cultivation will be devastated."

"Yes, we must discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible and never let the Shadow Cult's conspiracy go any further." Another elder echoed, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

At this moment, the white-robed man, the guardian of the Immortal Sect, hurried to the meeting hall. His expression was also solemn, and it was obvious that he had learned the general situation from his disciples.

"Tell us the exact situation again in detail." The man in white spoke as he entered the hall.

I had no choice but to recount the entire incident in detail again. This time, I focused more on describing the clues we had discovered about the possible location of the Shadow Cult's stronghold, as well as the several strange magical weapons related to the re-sealing of the evil heritage and the information they contained.

The man in white listened and remained silent for a long time. He then slowly paced the hall, seemingly contemplating something extremely important. After a moment, he stopped, looked at the crowd, and said, "This matter concerns the survival of the immortal world. We must proceed with utmost caution. First, we must immediately organize personnel to conduct in-depth research on the clues you have brought back to see if they can accurately locate the Shadow Cult's stronghold and the scattered evil inheritance."

"Secondly, strengthening the Xianzong's defenses remains the top priority. Now that the Shadow Cult knows you've returned to the Xianzong with crucial clues, they'll surely not give up and will definitely try every possible means to seize them. We must ensure that the Xianzong is impregnable, both inside and out, and not give them any opportunity to exploit."

"Furthermore, we must inform the other sects in the world of immortal cultivation of this matter as soon as possible, so that they also understand the interests involved and participate in the action to prevent the Shadow Cult. After all, relying solely on the power of our immortal sect, we are afraid that we are unable to completely stop the conspiracy of the Shadow Cult."

Everyone nodded in agreement with the white-robed man's arrangement. Immediately, some elders hurriedly left with the clues we had brought back, heading to the Immortal Sect's specialized research area to conduct an in-depth and detailed analysis of these clues.

The elders in charge of the Xianzong's defense also took quick action, starting to deploy various powerful defensive formations, increasing the number of patrolling disciples, and strengthening inspections of people and items entering and leaving the Xianzong. The entire Xianzong instantly entered a state of high alert.

At the same time, several other elders used their communication tools to inform the other sects of the Immortal Cultivation World of the Shadow Cult's conspiracy and our recent discovery. Suddenly, all major sects in the Immortal Cultivation World received the news, and the atmosphere throughout the Immortal Cultivation World became tense, as if a storm was about to sweep across.

While the Immortal Sect was fully engaged in preparing its response, the rest of us—Lin Xiao, Su Yao, and the other disciples who had experienced this incident together—were also busy. Under the guidance of the elders, we nursed back our spiritual energy and injuries, while remaining ready to respond to the Sect's orders and continue to contribute our strength to protecting the world of immortal cultivation.

However, just as the Xian Sect's defense work was proceeding in an orderly manner and the major sects were discussing how to jointly deal with the Shadow Cult, the Shadow Cult was also intensively planning new actions.

In a hidden valley, several important figures of the Shadow Cult are gathered together to discuss the next plan against the Immortal Sect and the entire world of immortal cultivation.

"Hmph, those guys from the Immortal Sect actually managed to escape from our numerous traps and even brought back key clues. How despicable!" A black-robed elder said angrily, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Do they think they can stop us by strengthening their defenses? That's a joke!" Another pale-faced Shadow Cult leader sneered, "We've learned about the Immortal Sect's current defenses, and we have a backup plan. This time, we must show them how powerful we, the Shadow Cult, are. We must take back that evil inheritance and complete our grand plan!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a black box from his bosom. The box was engraved with strange runes and exuded a strong evil aura.

"This is..." Seeing this, several other high-ranking members of the Shadow Cult all looked puzzled.

"This is a magic weapon I have just developed recently, called the 'Shadow Erosion Bone Box'. It has extraordinary power. As long as we place it near the Immortal Sect and activate it, it will slowly erode the Immortal Sect's defensive formation, rendering it ineffective. When the time comes, we can take the opportunity to attack the Immortal Sect and snatch those clues and evil inheritances. Wouldn't it be easy?" The pale-faced Shadow Cult leader introduced proudly.

"Haha, great! If this magic weapon can work, the Immortal Sect will definitely not escape the disaster." Upon hearing this, several other high-ranking members of the Shadow Cult burst into laughter, their eyes full of anticipation and greed.

At that moment, they discussed and decided that several Shadow Sect disciples who were good at hiding their whereabouts would carry the "Shadow Bone-Eroding Box" and sneak into the vicinity of the Immortal Sect, find a suitable place to activate it, and pave the way for the subsequent attack.

At this time, the Immortal Sect was still immersed in a tense atmosphere of defense. Everyone was working hard to protect the world of immortal cultivation, but they were completely unaware that a new crisis was quietly approaching them like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, and was about to set off a storm under the calm appearance.
