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

Lin Yun and the others watched as a group of monsters slowly approached from the darkness surrounding the platform, a strong sense of danger welling up in their hearts. These monsters varied in size, but each exuded a ferocious aura, and the murderous intent flashing in their eyes was chilling.

"Don't panic, everyone. We've already been through so many hardships and obstacles, and we'll definitely make it this time!" Lin Yun shouted, trying to boost his teammates' morale. He gripped the sword tightly, and the spiritual energy on the sword glowed brighter, as if responding to its owner's determination.

Su Yao, Li Feng, Chen Yu, and Lin Wan'er quickly adjusted their positions, forming a tight defensive circle with their backs to each other. Su Yao quickly formed hand seals, muttering to herself, and unleashed a powerful supporting spell. A stronger spiritual shield rose around them. She also continuously replenished her teammates' spiritual energy, ensuring they remained strong enough for the ongoing battle.

Li Feng tightened his gauntlets, crouched slightly, and assumed a posture ready to launch a fierce attack at any moment. His eyes burned with an unyielding fighting spirit, and he showed no fear in the face of the ensuing danger.

Chen Yu shook the flame gourd and silently chanted a spell, preparing the fire spell to the best condition. When the time was right, he would let the blazing flames deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

Lin Wan'er remained hidden, moving around the defense circle like a ghost. With her keen perception, she paid attention to the monsters' every move, looking for the perfect opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

The monsters moved closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of Lin Yun and the others. Without hesitation, they immediately launched a fierce attack.

Some monsters opened their bloody mouths, spewing streams of black slime, which carried a pungent stench and flew towards the defensive circle. Seeing this, Lin Yun swung his sword, unleashing a stream of sharp sword energy, shattering the flying slime one by one. The sword energy collided with the slime, splashing a foul spray and emitting an even more unpleasant odor.

Other monsters swung their thick claws, clawing at the defensive circle. Li Feng seized the opportunity and rushed out of the defensive circle, using the protection of his gauntlets to slam into the monsters' claws. His fists rained down like raindrops, each one carrying immense force, colliding with the monsters' claws with a series of dull thuds.

Su Yao continued to cast supporting spells, enhancing Lin Yun and Li Feng's attack power, restoring their spiritual energy, and maintaining the stability of their defensive shields. Although her spiritual energy was greatly depleted and her body was trembling slightly from overwork, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, knowing that every spell she cast was related to the life and death of her teammates.

Chen Yu seized the opportunity, shook the flame gourd, and chanted a spell. A raging flame shot out from the gourd's mouth, burning towards the area where the monsters were most concentrated. Wherever the flames passed, the monsters roared in pain and took cover. Some of the monsters caught in the flames had their fur instantly ignited, burning in the darkness like moving torches.

Taking advantage of the monsters' distraction by the flames, Lin Wan'er emerged from hiding, a specially crafted dagger in hand, weaving among them like a ghost. She targeted the monsters' vital points and stabbed them fiercely, each strike incredibly precise, leaving many injured and falling to the ground.

However, the monsters were simply too numerous. As soon as one wave of attacks passed, another surged in. They seemed tireless, their attacks becoming increasingly ferocious, constantly assaulting Lin Yun and the others' defensive circle, gradually straining them.

During the fierce battle, Lin Yun struggled to resist the monsters' attacks while carefully observing their movements and characteristics. He discovered that every time the monsters launched a powerful attack, certain parts of their bodies would briefly flash a strange light, the color of which was clearly different from the rest of their bodies.

"Everyone, pay attention. After these monsters attack, parts of their bodies will flash with strange light. These may be their weaknesses. Concentrate your strength to attack those parts later!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. He hoped that by finding the monsters' weaknesses, he could bring them a glimmer of hope.

Upon hearing this, the team members focused their attention on the glowing parts of the monsters. Soon, one of the monsters launched a fierce attack, and after the attack, a faint blue light indeed flashed from its abdomen.

"Now, attack!" Lin Yun shouted, and the sword in his hand shone brightly, bringing up a sharp sword energy, and stabbed accurately at the part of the monster's abdomen where the light was flashing.

Su Yao also quickly formed seals with her hands, muttered something, and cast an auxiliary spell to enhance the power of the attack, bringing the power of her teammates' attack to a new level.

Li Feng endured the pain in his body and rushed forward again. He swung his gauntlets and struck at the glowing part of the other monster.

Chen Yu adjusted the angle of the flame gourd and sprayed the flame accurately onto the flashing part of another monster.

At the right time, Lin Wan'er appeared from behind the enemy, holding a special dagger in her hand, and stabbed it fiercely at the part of the monster that was flashing with light.

After everyone worked together, finally, the glowing parts of several monsters were broken by the concentrated attacks of everyone. Those monsters let out a shrill scream, their bodies began to tremble violently, and then they fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a cloud of black smoke and dissipating in the air.

Seeing that there was a turning point, everyone was cheered up and continued to attack other monsters using the same method.

As more and more monsters were defeated by the crowd's concentrated attacks, their attack rhythm was disrupted, they began to panic, and their numbers gradually dwindled. Lin Yun and the others seized this opportunity, gritted their teeth, and continued to launch even more fierce attacks.

"Don't stop, keep attacking and take the opportunity to break out!" Lin Yun shouted. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and once again unleashed a series of sharp sword energy, rushing towards the encirclement of the monsters.

Li Feng used his gauntlets to block some of the attacks for his teammates and protect those behind him. His movements were even more courageous, and every punch and kick was powerful enough to repel the approaching monsters.

Su Yao cast auxiliary spells on the side to enhance everyone's defense and restore spiritual power, ensuring that everyone can continue to maintain their combat effectiveness in this fierce battle.

Chen Yu shook the flaming gourd and chanted a spell. Streams of blazing flames shot out from the mouth of the gourd and burned towards the monsters on both sides, distracting their attention and creating better conditions for breaking out.

Lin Wan'er was still hiding her figure. She shuttled among the enemy groups, looking for the weak links in the monster encirclement so that she could deliver a fatal blow and help her teammates break through.

Finally, after everyone's desperate efforts, they successfully broke through the monster's encirclement and rushed towards the depths of the unknown space. Although the monsters tried to chase them, they were a little embarrassed by the attack just now by Lin Yun and others, and for a while they didn't dare to pursue rashly.

After Lin Yun and the others struggled to break through, they ran all the way until they were sure there were no monsters chasing them. They then slowed down. They came to a quiet area. The light was dim, but they could vaguely see some strange scenes.

Rows of massive stone pillars appeared ahead, engraved with ancient runes. These shimmered faintly, as if telling stories from long ago. Between the pillars lay pools of luminescent water, their water a mysterious hue, seemingly imbued with some special power.

"Everyone be careful, this place doesn't seem simple either. Don't act rashly, observe first." Lin Yun said softly. He stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The other team members also came closer, also looking around vigilantly. Su Yao cast a detection spell again. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something, trying to sense the situation here. After a while, she opened her eyes and said solemnly: "Lin Yun, I detected that these stone pillars and pools seem to be related to some ancient formation, and the flow of spiritual energy here is very strange, as if something is secretly controlling everything."

Lin Yun frowned upon hearing this. He knew that to unlock the secrets here, he would have to delve into these stone pillars and pools, as well as the formations they involved.

"Let's start with the runes on these stone pillars and see if we can find some clues to understand what's going on in this place." Lin Yun suggested.

So, everyone dispersed and walked to a stone pillar, carefully observing the runes on it, hoping to find some valuable information.

Lin Yun stood before a stone pillar, carefully examining the runes on it. These runes were ancient and mysterious, unlike anything he had ever seen before. He tried to decipher them with his knowledge, but found many parts difficult to understand.

However, he did not give up. Instead, he calmed down and carefully compared the records in various ancient books in his memory. Suddenly, he found that the combination of several runes was similar to that recorded in an ancient secret book of formation.

"Everyone come here quickly, I think I found some clues!" Lin Yun shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the other team members gathered around. Lin Yun pointed to the runes on the stone pillars and explained, "Look, the combination of these runes is very similar to the key to activating a formation I once saw in a secret manual on formations. If I'm not mistaken, these stone pillars and pools here may form a large ancient formation, and what we need to do may be to find a way to activate or break it."

Su Yao's eyes lit up when she heard this. She also leaned in to observe carefully, and then said, "Lin Yun, you are right. When I was detecting, I also felt that the spiritual energy here seemed to be flowing around these stone pillars and pools in a regular manner, which is probably to maintain the operation of this formation."

Li Feng scratched his head and asked, "Then how do we activate or break this formation?"

Lin Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's look carefully to see if there are similar key rune combinations on other stone pillars, or if there are any special mechanisms or something like that."

So, everyone began to search carefully among the rows of stone pillars. After some effort, Chen Yu found a small protrusion at the bottom of a stone pillar. This protrusion was also engraved with runes, and the runes glowed differently from those on the other stone pillars.

"Lin Yun, there is a strange bulge here, and it seems to be related to this formation!" Chen Yu shouted.

Lin Yun and the others immediately gathered around after hearing this. Lin Yun squatted down and carefully observed the bulge. He found that when he touched it, he could feel a slight suction on his hand, as if there was something hidden inside the bulge that wanted to suck people in.

"This may be the key to activating or cracking this formation, but we don't know what's going on inside. If it's not handled properly, it may cause new dangers." Lin Yun said with a frown, his eyes sweeping over every team member, wanting to see what everyone thought.

Everyone looked at each other, and then Li Feng took the lead and said, "It has come to this. We can only give it a try. We can't just sit there and wait."

The other team members also expressed their agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lin Yun took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's give it a try, but everyone must be careful and stay alert at all times. If you find anything wrong, find a way to evacuate immediately."

After saying that, Lin Yun was the first to reach out and touch the bulge. When his hand completely touched the bulge, a powerful suction suddenly surged out from the bulge, instantly sucking him in. Seeing this, the other team members reached out and grabbed each other, and were also sucked into the unknown space that the bulge led to.

Lin Yun and the others felt their vision blur before they were swept into a completely new and unknown space. When they regained their composure and took in the surroundings, they gasped in shock at what they saw.

This space was ablaze with multicolored light, its colors constantly shifting, dazzling the eyes. A strange aroma permeated the air, making one feel dizzy. In the center of the space lay a massive crystal ball, within which blurred images seemed to circulate, as if revealing some important information.

Around the crystal ball, there are some small and exquisite platforms, on which are placed various strange objects. Some look like ancient magic weapons, while others are scrolls emitting a mysterious aura. These objects emit spiritual fluctuations to varying degrees, showing their extraordinary nature.

"This...what is this place?" Su Yao said in surprise.

Lin Yun was also filled with confusion, but he knew he had to remain calm. "Everyone, don't panic. Let's see if we can find any clues or a way out," he said with forced composure.

However, just as they were about to act, a low humming sound suddenly emanated from the crystal ball, as if some kind of alarm had been triggered. Immediately afterwards, glittering little elves emerged from every corner of the space. They were small in size but extremely fast, instantly surrounding Lin Yun and the others.

"What are these?" Li Feng asked in confusion.

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from their appearance, they don't seem very friendly. Everyone, be careful!"

After that, they will face new challenges. In this space full of unknowns, they will continue to explore the secrets of the Shadow Cult and find a way out.
