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

Lin Yun and Su Yao continued to stare at the image. At this time, the mysterious ceremony in the valley was still going on. The shadow atmosphere became stronger and stronger, and the whole picture was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Lin Yun's gaze flickered to the shimmering family jade pendant on his chest, his heart filled with doubt and anticipation. He knew that as a family heirloom, the jade pendant's unusual movement was no accident. Perhaps it held the key to solving the current mystery, or even the entire secret of the Shadow Cult.

In this illusory space, the surrounding light, though soft, seemed to be tainted by the eerie atmosphere of the image, taking on a hint of obscurity. Lin Yun thought to himself, as a descendant of an invincible family, his family's honor and mission constantly spurred him on. He must, at all costs, extract useful information from the jade pendant's unusual reaction and absolutely not retreat before the numerous obstacles set by the Shadow Cult.

"Su Yao, the reaction of this jade pendant is getting weirder and weirder. I feel like it's trying to convey some important information to us, but the information is hidden too deeply, and I haven't been able to fully understand it yet." Lin Yun frowned and whispered to Su Yao.

Su Yao also looked solemn. She responded, "Well, I also think this jade pendant is not simple. Try to use your spiritual power to perceive it more deeply. Maybe you can find more clues."

Lin Yun nodded, closed his eyes again, and slowly poured his spiritual energy into the jade pendant. In an instant, he felt as if he were being pulled by a gentle force and instantly entered a strange space.

The space was filled with a light mist, shimmering with countless tiny points of light, like stars in the night sky, yet exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Lin Yun looked around and found himself in an empty space. Beneath his feet lay a surface seemingly formed by the convergence of light. Faint lines could be seen flowing, as if telling a story from a distant past.

In the center of the space, a huge light and shadow is suspended. The shape of the light and shadow is very similar to the ancient artifact enshrined in the family ancestral hall, but this light and shadow seems a little illusory, as if it is a projection of the artifact in another dimension.

Lin Yun was deeply shocked. He had never imagined that the space within the jade pendant would reveal such a scene, and that it was connected to the family's important artifact. He slowly walked towards the light and shadow, and with every step he took, he could feel the spiritual energy around him gently fluctuating, as if welcoming him and reminding him of his mission.

When he approached the light and shadow, it suddenly flickered, and blurry images began to flow through it. The images showed tribesmen dressed in ancient attire, seated around a large round table. On the table lay various objects emitting strange light, including the jade pendant that was now gleaming on Lin Yun's chest.

The tribesmen wore solemn expressions, muttering to themselves as if they were carrying out an important ritual. Although Lin Yun couldn't hear their specific words, he could sense that they were protecting and praying for their family heritage, and resisting and fighting against unknown dangers.

As the video continued to flow, the scene shifted to an unfamiliar one. Lin Yun saw the tribesmen, carrying jade pendants and other items, enter a magnificent building. The building's style bore some resemblance to the structure in the mysterious valley seen in the previous video, exuding a similarly mysterious and ancient aura.

The building was dimly lit, its walls covered in intricate runes and patterns, which subtly echoed elements seen in images related to the Shadow Cult. Lin Yun was startled, his feeling growing that his family's connection to the Shadow Cult ran far deeper than he had imagined.

At this moment, a mysterious figure in a black robe appeared on screen. He emanated a strong aura of darkness, forming a stark contrast to the surrounding tribesmen, who radiated the light of justice. The mysterious figure seemed to be speaking to the tribesmen, and the expressions on their faces showed that they were wary and cautious of him.

However, not long after, the image suddenly became blurry, as if a powerful force was interfering with the display of the image. Lin Yun was anxious. He tried to use his spiritual power to stabilize the image, but found that his spiritual power in this jade pendant space was greatly restricted and could not be used as freely as in the outside world.

"What is going on? Why can't I see the key parts clearly?" Lin Yun complained in his heart. He knew very well that these images contained important clues to the entanglement between his family and the Shadow Cult, but now he had to watch them become blurred before his eyes, which was really frustrating.

Although Lin Yun tried his best to keep those images, they eventually disappeared completely, leaving him alone standing in the misty jade pendant space.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration and resentment in his heart. Although the video had been interrupted, he had already gained a lot of important information from the content he had seen. At the very least, it further confirmed that there was some deep connection between his family and the Shadow Cult, and this connection seemed to involve an important inheritance of the family.

"No matter what, I have to get to the bottom of this. The family's reputation and heritage cannot be lost. I can't let the efforts and protection of my ancestors be interrupted here." Lin Yun swore secretly in his heart. He clenched his fists, and his eyes revealed an incomparable determination.

At this moment, he could feel that Su Yao outside the jade pendant space seemed to be calling him anxiously. It was a voice transmitted through telepathy. Lin Yun knew that he could not stay here for too long. He had to continue to explore the secrets of the Shadow Cult with Su Yao and find a way to leave here.

So, he concentrated his mind and tried to use his spiritual power to guide himself out of this space according to the feeling he had when he entered the jade pendant space before.

After some effort, Lin Yun finally succeeded in returning to the real world from the jade pendant space, which was where the images were still playing in the virtual space.

When Su Yao saw Lin Yun open his eyes, a relieved expression suddenly appeared on her face. She said, "Lin Yun, you are back. I was worried about what happened to you just now. What did you see in the jade pendant?"

Lin Yun told Su Yao about what he saw in the jade pendant space. Su Yao was shocked after hearing it and said, "It seems that your family really has a close connection with the Shadow Cult, but the specific situation needs further investigation."

As they spoke, the image shifted again. The image depicting the mysterious ritual in the valley gradually faded, replaced by the full view of a massive ruin. This ruin stood in a desolate desert, with howling winds and swirling dust eroding the buildings.

The architectural style of the ruins is extremely unique. It is built of huge stones, which are engraved with various mysterious runes and patterns. It has similarities with the buildings seen in the jade pendant space before and the elements in the images related to the Shadow Cult.

Lin Yun's heart moved. He felt that this relic might be the key to unlocking all the secrets, so he said: "Su Yao, I think we should go to this relic and take a look. Maybe we can find more clues about the family and the Shadow Cult in it."

Su Yao nodded in agreement and said, "Well, I think it's a good idea too. But these ruins don't look easy to enter, so we have to be careful."

Lin Yun and Su Yao decided to move towards the ruins in the image. Although they were still in an illusory space, it seemed as if there was an invisible force guiding them, making them feel that as long as they followed this direction, they would be able to reach the ruins.

As they approached the ruins, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh. The wind was so fierce that they could barely stand, and the dust kept hitting them, making their faces hurt. Moreover, the air seemed to be filled with an oppressive atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe, as if some great danger was approaching. "The wind is too strong! The environment around the ruins is really terrible." Lin Yun shouted loudly so that Su Yao could hear his words clearly in the howling wind.

Su Yao responded: "Yes, we have to be extra careful. Maybe there are some defense mechanisms or hidden dangers around the ruins."

At this moment, Lin Yun suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly. He was startled and immediately stopped, looking around vigilantly. Su Yao also noticed something unusual, and they both prepared to deal with emergencies.

Before they could react, several gigantic sand beasts suddenly burst out from the dust. These sand beasts were massive, standing at least three or four feet tall, and covered in a hard, sandy shell with sharp bone spurs growing on it, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Their heads were like crocodiles, with their bloody mouths wide open, revealing sharp fangs, and they kept making low roars, as if they were demonstrating to Lin Yun and Su Yao.

As soon as the sand beasts appeared, they pounced towards Lin Yun and Su Yao at an extremely fast speed, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Lin Yun hurriedly drew his sword and poured his spiritual energy into it. The sword instantly shone brightly. He charged towards the sand beast in front and slashed at it. However, the sword struck the sand beast's shell with only a dull thud, leaving only a shallow white mark on the shell, inflicting no substantial damage.

"The shell of this sand beast is so hard!" Lin Yun was shocked. He knew that he was in trouble. This sand beast was not so easy to deal with.

Su Yao was also casting a spell on the side. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A beam of spiritual power shot towards another sand beast. However, the sand beast seemed to have a certain resistance to spiritual attacks. After the beam hit it, it only shook its body slightly and was not greatly affected.

Lin Yun and Su Yao retreated repeatedly, putting some distance between themselves and the sand beasts. Both of them looked extremely solemn.

Lin Yun groaned inwardly. This sand beast not only had a hard shell, but was also resistant to spiritual attacks. Ordinary means of attack were completely ineffective. He couldn't help but think of the elders in his family. When faced with powerful enemies, they always relied on their rich experience and profound strength to come up with countermeasures. As a scion of an invincible family, he couldn't let himself be stumped here.

He began to carefully observe the sand beast's every move, trying to find its weakness. Lin Yun discovered that whenever the sand beast prepared to attack, its abdomen would slightly contract, as if gathering strength. Moreover, after each attack, it would pause for a moment, as if adjusting its state.

"Su Yao, I seem to have discovered the weakness of this sand beast. Its abdomen will contract when it is about to attack, and it will pause after the attack. Let's see if we can take advantage of this opportunity to attack it." Lin Yun whispered to Su Yao, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Su Yao was cheered up when she heard this and responded, "Okay, Lin Yun, I will cooperate with you."

At this time, although they were in trouble, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts, thinking that perhaps they could find a way to break through the sand beast's defense line.

Lin Yun saw the perfect moment. When a sand beast attacked again and its abdomen contracted, he shouted, "Now is the time!"

The sword in his hand shone brightly, and he concentrated all his spiritual power on the tip of the sword, unleashing his strongest strike. This sword, with unstoppable force, pierced the sand beast's shrinking abdomen with pinpoint accuracy.

At the same time, Su Yao quickly formed seals with her hands, muttered something, and cast an auxiliary spell to enhance the power of the attack, increasing the power of Lin Yun's sword to the extreme.

The tip of the sword accurately pierced the sand beast's abdomen. A dazzling light flashed, accompanied by a shrill scream, and the sand beast's abdomen was pierced.

The sand beast, having lost its belly protection, immediately fell into chaos. It flared its limbs wildly and rushed around in the sand. Lin Yun and Su Yao took the opportunity to hide aside and continued to observe its movements.

As time went on, the sand beast gradually lost the accuracy of its attacks and its movements became slower and slower due to the pain and confusion from its abdominal injury.

Lin Yun and Su Yao gritted their teeth, seized the opportunity, and continued to launch more fierce attacks, finally successfully defeating these sand beasts.

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. But he also knew that this was only a temporary solution to the current crisis; they were still a long way from truly unraveling all the secrets and finding a way out. He looked at the sword in his hand, then at Su Yao beside him, thinking, "Luckily, she's by my side, otherwise I really don't know what to do this time."
