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

After resolving the Shadow Cult's apparition threat in the passage, Lin Yun and Su Yao continued their journey deeper into the building. The passageway was still dimly lit, relying only on the faint spiritual energy emanating from Lin Yun's sword to illuminate the short distance ahead. The stones on the wall exuded a stale air, and the occasional drip of water seeped through the cracks, echoing in the silent passage and adding a touch of eeriness.

Lin Yun, sword in hand, walked ahead, taking each step with extreme caution, his gaze constantly scanning the corridor. He knew full well that this mysterious building was filled with hidden mysteries, and every step forward could bring untold dangers. As a scion of an invincible family, his family's honor and mission constantly spurred him on. He could not afford to slack off in this situation. He had to uncover the mysteries surrounding the Shadow Cult and protect his family's reputation and legacy.

"Su Yao, this passage seems to be hiding a lot of secrets. We can't be careless." Lin Yun whispered, his voice echoing softly in the passage.

Su Yao followed closely behind Lin Yun, her hands secretly forming seals, ready to cast spells at any time to deal with emergencies. She responded: "Well, I know, Lin Yun. You should be careful too. If there is any movement, we have to take care of each other."

After they cautiously walked a little further, Lin Yun suddenly sensed a subtle spiritual fluctuation coming from the front of the passage. This fluctuation was unlike any he had encountered before. It didn't resemble the evil aura of the Shadow Cult, nor was it an ordinary spiritual fluctuation. Instead, it carried an ancient and mysterious allure, as if calling from the depths of ancient history.

At the same time, the environment around the passage began to change. The water droplets on the damp walls no longer oozed out, but slowly gathered into streams, flowing down the walls and forming shallow puddles on the ground. The ground was no longer as smooth as before, but began to show slight undulations, as if something was stirring beneath the ground.

"Lin Yun, did you feel it? The fluctuation of spiritual power is so strange, and why did the environment suddenly become like this?" Su Yao frowned and said with a slightly nervous look.

Lin Yun nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, I sensed it. This must be another mechanism or hidden secret in this building about to be revealed. We must be more careful."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace, wanting to quickly find out the source of the spiritual power fluctuations and the reason for the environmental changes. At the same time, he was secretly alert to possible dangers.

As they continued forward, the spiritual energy fluctuations grew stronger, and a dazzling light gradually appeared in front of the passage. This light was particularly eye-catching in the dim passage, like the sun in the darkness, attracting them to involuntarily quicken their pace towards the light.

As they approached the source of the light, they discovered it was a massive portal. The portal was tightly closed, and inscribed with intricate and exquisite runes and patterns. These runes and patterns shimmered with vibrant colors under the light, as if alive, constantly changing shape and color, emitting a powerful, mysterious force.

Lin Yun paused, examining the door carefully. He marveled inwardly: this door was clearly remarkable, surely closely connected to the building's core secrets. He reached out, wanting to touch the runes on the door and sense its mysterious power.

"Lin Yun, be careful. The power on this portal feels very strong. Don't trigger any dangerous mechanisms." Su Yao reminded from the side.

Lin Yun nodded and gently placed his hand on the door. He felt a warm touch and could clearly feel the power of the rune flowing through his fingertips. The moment he touched the door, the rune on the door suddenly shone brightly, enveloping him and Su Yao in a brilliant light.

Amidst this shimmering light, Lin Yun suddenly felt a strong warmth emanating from the family jade pendant on his chest, as if it were responding to the portal. He subconsciously looked down at the jade pendant, only to see its previously gentle sheen become incredibly bright. Some of the patterns on it also shone with a light similar to the portal runes, as if the two were connected by some invisible connection.

"Su Yao, look at this jade pendant! It seems to be related to this portal, and it reacts so strongly." Lin Yun said in surprise, feeling both excited and confused about this discovery.

Su Yao also came over to take a look, and also showed a surprised look, and said: "It's really strange, Lin Yun. Maybe this jade pendant can help us open this door, or find clues to unlock the secrets here. Try to sense it with your spiritual power."

Lin Yun followed his instructions, closed his eyes, and slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the jade pendant. Instantly, he seemed to enter a strange space. All around him was chaos, illuminated only by the jade pendant's shimmering light. Within this light, he vaguely discerned blurry images. In these images, it appeared that his family's ancestors were seated around a portal-like structure, holding various magical instruments and performing some kind of ritual. The portal itself bore a striking resemblance to the one before him.

Lin Yun seemed to grasp some key information from the blurry image. He saw that at the crucial moment of the ritual, the ancestors gathered the spiritual power of their magical instruments and injected it into the runes on the portal in a specific order, causing the portal to slowly open.

Lin Yun's heart moved. He opened his eyes and looked at the door in front of him again. He decided to try to open the door according to the inspiration he got from the image in the jade pendant.

He took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and slowly gathered the spiritual power into the sword in his hand according to the method he remembered from his ancestors. Then, he began to guide the spiritual power from the sword according to a specific order and inject it into the runes on the portal.

With each injection of spiritual power, the runes on the portal flashed brighter and brighter, and the light became more and more brilliant. Su Yao watched nervously from the side, secretly forming seals with her hands, ready to deal with any possible emergencies at any time.

After some effort, and with the final infusion of spiritual power, the runes on the portal reached their peak brightness, then emitted a dull roar and slowly opened. A stale and mysterious aura wafted from within the door, mingled with a faint floral fragrance, a stark contrast to the damp, stale atmosphere of the passage.

Lin Yun and Su Yao looked at each other, then walked in cautiously. Inside the door was a huge space, brightly lit. Above their heads was a dome made of luminous crystals, which emitted a soft white light, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

The floor of the space is paved with a smooth jade stone engraved with various exquisite patterns. These patterns depict some ancient stories and scenes, as if telling the history and secrets of the building.

In the center of the space stood a massive statue, depicting an elderly man in a robe, holding a cane. His gaze was deep and calm, as if he were surveying the world. Surrounding the statue were ancient instruments, some resembling giant incense burners, burning with a flickering, yet heatless pale blue flame; others resembling enormous water vats, filled with a clear, transparent liquid whose surface shimmered and exuded a mysterious aura.

"Lin Yun, this place looks so mysterious. These things must be extraordinary." Su Yao said softly, her eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Yun nodded, his gaze scanning the space, trying to find some clues related to his family and the Shadow Cult. He thought to himself: This place must be hiding a great secret. I must explore it carefully, not missing any possible clues, to solve the mystery for my family and protect its reputation and heritage.

Just as Lin Yun and Su Yao were observing the surroundings in this space, the statue in the center suddenly moved. The statue's originally calm gaze suddenly became sharp, and the crutch in its hand was slightly raised, as if it was about to make some action.

Immediately, the ancient instruments surrounding the statue began to react. In the massive incense burner, a pale blue flame suddenly shot up, its temperature instantly increasing, scorching the surrounding air. In the massive water vat, the clear, transparent liquid began to churn violently, bubbling and gurgling, as if something was trying to break free.

"Oh no, this statue and the equipment have come alive! Lin Yun, what should we do?" Su Yao shouted anxiously, her face turned pale and her hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

Lin Yun was also shocked, but he knew panicking would be futile and he had to come up with a plan quickly. He quickly channeled his spiritual energy into the sword, which instantly shone brightly, exuding a fierce aura, as if protesting against these unruly individuals.

"Su Yao, don't panic! Let's see if we can find their weaknesses first, and then think of ways to deal with them." Lin Yun shouted loudly, his eyes fixed on the crazy and strangely moving statue, trying to find an opportunity from its every move.

At this tense moment, Lin Yun forced himself to calm down and concentrated on observing the changes in the statues and the instruments.

He discovered that every time the statue raised its crutch to attack, it would lean back slightly, as if gathering strength. Furthermore, at that moment of leaning back, some of the runes on the statue would dim briefly, as if some of the energy had shifted.

Look at those instruments again, such as the high-rising flame. When the flame reaches the highest temperature, it will shrink for a short while, and the intensity of the flame will also decrease accordingly; the liquid rolling in the water tank will also have a moment of calm after rolling violently, as if it has entered a short rest period after completing an energy burst.

"Su Yao, I seem to have found their weakness! The statues will lean back and the runes will dim before attacking, and the instruments will have a brief period of calm after the energy burst. Let's take advantage of this time to attack them!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, and he shouted to Su Yao.

Su Yao was cheered up when she heard this, and immediately responded: "Okay, Lin Yun, I will cooperate with you to the best of my ability!"

At this moment, although they were in extreme danger, a glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of both of them, thinking that perhaps they could use this to turn the unfavorable situation of the battle around.

Lin Yun seized the opportunity. When the statue raised its crutch again, leaned back, and the runes dimmed, he shouted, "Now!"

The sword in his hand shone brightly, and he concentrated all his spiritual power on the tip of the sword, unleashing his strongest strike. With unstoppable force, the sword struck precisely at the statue's crutch, a point he had observed to be relatively weak.

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 hit the crutch of the statue. A dazzling light flashed, accompanied by a shrill scream, and a deep crack was cut on the crutch of the statue.

Without the protection of its crutch, the statue suddenly fell into chaos. Its movements became slow, and its originally sharp gaze became a little confused.

At the same time, Lin Yun and Su Yao seized the opportunity during the lull after the energy burst. Su Yao cast a spell, sending a series of spiritual attacks towards the burning incense burners and the tumbling water tanks, successfully disrupting their rhythm and temporarily preventing them from posing a significant threat to the two.

Lin Yun and Su Yao gritted their teeth, seized the opportunity, and continued to launch more fierce attacks. Finally, they succeeded in temporarily suppressing the statues and those instruments, making them no longer as powerful a threat as before.

After successfully suppressing the statues and the instruments, Lin Yun and Su Yao did not let down their guard. They knew that this was only a temporary solution to the immediate crisis, and there must be more secrets and dangers hidden in this space.

They continued to explore the space, heading towards its corners. In one corner, they discovered an ancient scroll. The pages had yellowed, emitting the scent of aged ink. The scroll was covered with ancient text and patterns, words and patterns Lin Yun had never seen before, but he could sense that their contents were inextricably linked to this building, his family, and the Shadow Cult.

"Lin Yun, look at this scroll. It feels so ancient. Maybe there are some important clues hidden in it." Su Yao picked up the scroll and said while looking at it carefully.

Lin Yun also came over to take a look and responded, "Well, I also think this scroll is not simple. We need to find a way to decipher these words and patterns and see if we can find the key to unlocking all the secrets."
