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

In the secluded little room, Lin Yun and the others hurried to recover their physical and spiritual strength. The healing elixir took effect within their bodies, gradually alleviating their pain, and their depleted spiritual energy began to slowly return like a trickle.

Lin Yun closed his eyes and concentrated, guiding his spiritual energy through his meridians as he pondered his next move. The items he had just discovered within the treasure box, especially the ancient scroll and crystal ball, undoubtedly held important secrets that might reveal more of the Shadow Cult's conspiracy. However, they were now deep within their stronghold, facing numerous dangers. Cult members could pursue them at any moment, so they needed to formulate a more comprehensive exploration plan.

After a while, the team members opened their eyes one after another, and their condition had obviously improved.

"How do you all feel?" Lin Yun asked softly.

"Much better, Lin Yun, what should we do next?" Su Yao responded, her eyes revealing a hint of worry, but more of determination.

"We can't give up halfway. Now that we're here, we must thoroughly explore this stronghold. We'll continue to move forward along this passage and try to hide our tracks. If we encounter members of the Shadow Cult, we'll avoid them if we can. We'll take action later if we can't avoid them. The key is to find more clues about the Shadow Cult's evil heritage and their activities here." Lin Yun said slowly, his eyes sweeping over each team member. Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, he felt a little relieved.

After a brief rest, everyone carefully opened the door and walked out of the small room. Lin Yun cast a spell to conceal the team's presence as much as possible, then led the team slowly along the corridor.

The passage remained dim, the evil runes on the walls emitting a faint glow, as if watching their every move. Lin Yun and the others were completely focused, constantly paying attention to the movements around them, their footsteps so light that they made no sound at all.

After walking for a distance, they found some forks on one side of the passage. Each fork led to a different direction and was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

"Everyone be careful, these forks in the road may have secrets. We have to go and take a look separately, but we must keep in touch and notify others immediately if anything happens." Lin Yun said in a low voice.

After discussion, they decided to split into three groups: Lin Yun, Su Yao, and Li Feng in one, Chen Yu in a separate group, and Lin Wan'er, relying on her stealth advantage, to act alone, responsible for observing from the shadows and providing support at any time. Each group was equipped with a sound transmission device so that they could communicate in time in the event of danger.

Lin Yun's group chose the middle fork and slowly walked in. The passage became narrower and narrower, and the air became increasingly oppressive, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping them.

Not long after they walked, they saw a tightly closed stone door in front of them. The stone door was engraved with even more complex runes. The runes flashed with strange light, which made people feel creepy.

"This stone door is not simple. It should be the entrance to some important place. Don't rush to do anything. Let me see if I can find a way to open the door." Lin Yun said. He walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone door.

Lin Yun squatted down and carefully studied the runes on the stone gate. He found that these runes seemed similar to those he had seen in other places in the stronghold, but they were also obviously different. They seemed to be a more advanced and mysterious restriction.

Su Yao cast a detection spell on the side, trying to sense the situation behind the stone door. After a while, she opened her eyes and said solemnly: "Lin Yun, I detected an extremely powerful evil force behind the stone door, and there is also a very strange fluctuation, as if some kind of formation is in operation, but I don't know what it is."

Li Feng frowned and said, "This is not going to be easy. It may not be that easy to open this stone door. And even if it is opened, it may be even more dangerous inside."

Lin Yun didn't respond, still concentrating on the runes on the stone gate. Suddenly, he noticed that the arrangement of several of the runes seemed familiar, as if he had seen similar records in some ancient book. He tried hard to recall, his mind constantly turning over the knowledge he had learned and the classics he had read.

Finally, he remembered some methods to decipher this rune arrangement. "I think I know how to open this stone door, but I need everyone's cooperation," Lin Yun said, a glint of excitement in his eyes.

He stood up and explained in detail to Su Yao and Li Feng the steps of cracking and what they needed to do. Su Yao and Li Feng nodded in understanding.

Lin Yun took a deep breath, formed hand seals quickly, and began to cast a spell according to his memory. Su Yao cast a supporting spell beside him, strengthening Lin Yun's spiritual power and maintaining the stability of the spell. Li Feng was always ready. If the stone door moved, he would use his gauntlets to deliver a powerful blow to help open the stone door.

As Lin Yun chanted his spell, the runes on the stone gate began to flicker, as if competing with his magic. But Lin Yun didn't retreat at all. He continued to increase his spiritual power, chanting the spell more and more rapidly.

Finally, with the concerted efforts of the three, the stone door made a dull sound and then slowly opened. A strong evil aura rushed towards them, making them frown.

After the stone door opened, a huge cave came into view. The light in the cave was dim, with only a few places flashing with faint blue light, illuminating part of the cave.

In the center of the cave, there is a huge circular stone platform, surrounded by a circle of black stone pillars. The stone pillars are engraved with evil runes. The runes flash with strange light, as if telling the evil nature of this place.

On the stone platform, there are several huge glass bottles filled with some liquid emitting a strange light. There seem to be some vague figures swimming in the liquid, which is creepy.

"What are these?" Li Feng said in surprise.

"I don't know, but it's definitely related to the evil deeds of the Shadow Cult." Lin Yun replied with a frown.

They walked towards the stone platform cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of triggering some mechanism or causing new danger.

When they approached the stone platform, they could feel a powerful restraining force emanating from around the platform, trying to prevent them from getting closer.

"The power of this restriction is very strong. Everyone, be careful. Don't rush to touch those things. See if you can find a way to break this restriction." Lin Yun said. He stopped and carefully observed the operating rules of the restriction, thinking about how to break it.

Su Yao cast the detection spell again. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something, trying to sense the weak link of the restriction. After a while, she opened her eyes and said solemnly: "Lin Yun, I detected that there seems to be a weak point on the back of the stone platform. But it is not easy to get there. I have to go around these stone pillars and avoid those glass bottles. If I knock over the things inside, I don't know what will happen."

Lin Yun heard this, looked around, and pondered his plan of action. He knew that to obtain the items on the stone platform and understand the secrets within, he had to break through the restriction, but the situation before him was indeed very difficult.

"Let's go around to the back of the stone platform and take a look. Everyone, be careful. Do as Su Yao said and don't knock over those glass bottles." Lin Yun said. He led Su Yao and Li Feng and began to walk carefully towards the back of the stone platform.

In the process of bypassing stone pillars and avoiding glass bottles, they almost triggered the mechanism several times, causing new dangers, but thanks to their caution and superb adaptability, they avoided it safely.

Finally, they came to the back of the stone platform and saw the weak point of the restriction that Su Yao mentioned.

Lin Yun stood in front of the weak point of the restriction on the back of the stone platform and observed carefully. He found that although the restriction here was relatively weak, it should not be underestimated. It would take some effort to break through it.

"Everyone get ready, let's attack this weak point together and see if we can break this restriction." Lin Yun said. He drew out his sword and poured spiritual power into it. The sword instantly shone brightly.

Su Yao quickly formed seals with her hands, muttering something, and cast a supporting spell to enhance Lin Yun's spiritual power and defense. Li Feng clenched his fists wrapped in gauntlets, ready to deliver a powerful blow at the critical moment.

Lin Yun shouted loudly and thrust his sword towards the weak point of the restriction. At the same time, Su Yao's auxiliary spell also enveloped him, increasing the power of his attack. Li Feng saw the right moment and punched hard. The fist wind wrapped in spiritual power and hit the weak point of the restriction fiercely.

Under the combined attack of the three, the restriction began to tremble violently, and the runes flickered, as if struggling.

After some effort, the restriction finally made a crisp cracking sound, and then the light went out, completely losing its effect.

"Great, the ban is broken!" Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face.

They couldn't wait to walk towards the stone platform, wanting to see what secrets the objects placed on it contained.

As they approached the stone platform, Lin Yun first picked up a glass bottle and carefully observed the liquid and the blurry figures inside. He found that the liquid exuded a strong evil aura, and the blurry figures seemed to be some imprisoned souls, struggling in pain.

"This is horrible. The Shadow Cult is actually doing such evil things!" Lin Yun said angrily.

Su Yao picked up another glass bottle and found the same thing. "They must want to use these souls to do some evil experiments or increase their own strength." Su Yao said with a frown.

Li Feng looked at the huge glass bottles from the side, his heart filled with disgust. "We must quickly report this to the Immortal Sect and let them know about the evil deeds of the Shadow Cult," Li Feng said.

Just as they were carefully studying the glass bottles, suddenly, a low buzzing sound came from the depths of the cave, as if some alarm had been triggered.

"Oh no, we have triggered some mechanism or alarm again. Everyone be careful!" Lin Yun's face changed and he shouted loudly.

They know that a new crisis is coming, and whether they can once again survive this dangerous environment is still unknown.
