I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals
Chapter 99 The choice between the mysterious ruins and the family mission
After a series of thrilling adventures, Lin Yun and Su Yao continued to explore the uncharted territory extending from this mysterious building. The space they inhabited was illuminated by a faint blue hue, a dreamlike yet indescribably cool and mysterious atmosphere. Faint lights flickered on the walls, as if inlaid with countless tiny gemstones. A closer look revealed the faint glow of strange runes, their eerie shapes seemingly telling an ancient, untold story.
Lin Yun walked ahead, his sword tightly gripped. The blade was tinged with a faint, cool hue by the faint blue light. His eyes scanned the surroundings warily, each step taken with extreme caution. As a descendant of an invincible family, the family's honor and mission constantly resonated in his mind, forcing him to not slack off even a little. He knew full well that within the mysteries woven by the Shadow Cult, each new area held the potential for a monstrous crisis. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of unraveling all mysteries and safeguarding his family's honor.
"Su Yao, this place doesn't look simple. We have to be extra careful. We don't know what strange things we will encounter." Lin Yun whispered to Su Yao behind him, and his voice echoed softly in the silent space.
Su Yao followed closely behind Lin Yun, her hands secretly forming seals, ready to cast spells at any time to deal with emergencies. She nodded lightly and responded, "Well, I know, Lin Yun. You should also pay attention to your surroundings and don't let anything sneak up."
After they cautiously advanced for a distance, a deep, ethereal voice suddenly echoed through the dark blue space. The sound seemed to come from far away, yet it also seemed to come from all directions simultaneously, making it impossible to discern its exact source. Along with this sound, the surrounding environment began to undergo a series of subtle changes.
The ground trembled slightly. At first, it was only a gentle tremor, like the earth sighing softly, but soon, the vibrations grew stronger and stronger, even making them somewhat unsteady. The shimmering runes on the wall also became brighter, the frequency of the light flashing rapidly increasing. The runes seemed to begin to echo each other, forming flowing bands of light that meandered across the wall, as if they had come alive.
"Lin Yun, what's going on? This sound and these changes are so strange!" Su Yao frowned and said with a slightly nervous look.
Lin Yun also had a serious expression on his face. He stopped and tried to steady himself while carefully observing the changes in his surroundings. He thought to himself: This must be another mechanism or hidden secret of this mysterious place that is about to be revealed. It seems that another tough battle is about to be fought. But no matter what, I can't retreat. I must protect Su Yao and solve all these mysteries.
"Don't be afraid, Su Yao. Let's first see what's going on. Maybe we can find a way to deal with it." Lin Yun said calmly. In fact, he was not sure, but in front of Su Yao, he had to appear strong.
As the ethereal voice continued to resonate and the environment changed dramatically, the light bands on the surrounding walls gradually began to separate from them, slowly converging in the center of the space. Countless light bands intertwined, forming a massive, dazzling sphere. The light was so intense that Lin Yun and Su Yao were forced to temporarily close their eyes to avoid the blazing brightness.
As the light gradually faded, they opened their eyes again to discover a massive portal had appeared where the bands of light had converged. The portal towered into the clouds, reaching tens of feet high. Carved into it were exquisite patterns and intricate runes. The patterns were vivid, as if depicting a grand myth. The runes shimmered with a mysterious light, as if the slightest touch would draw one into an unknown, mystical power.
"Lin Yun, look at this door! It's so spectacular, but it must be difficult to deal with. The runes and patterns on it seem to be hiding deep secrets." Su Yao said, looking at the door in surprise.
Lin Yun nodded, his gaze fixed on the runes and patterns on the door, trying to decipher some useful information. He thought to himself: This door's appearance couldn't be accidental. Perhaps it's the key entrance to the core of this mysterious building, perhaps holding crucial clues related to the family or the Shadow Cult. But opening it wouldn't be easy; he'd need to carefully study these runes and patterns.
Just as Lin Yun was concentrating on observing the runes and patterns on the door, he suddenly felt a warmth in his chest. He instinctively looked down and saw that the family jade pendant hanging on his chest was emitting a faint glow. This light echoed with the light of the runes on the door, one bright and one dim, as if they were engaging in some mysterious dialogue.
"Su Yao, look at this jade pendant! It seems to have some connection with this door. Look at this light, it is echoing with the runes on the door!" Lin Yun said excitedly, with a mixture of excitement and confusion in his eyes.
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, closing his eyes and slowly channeling his spiritual energy into the jade pendant. Instantly, he seemed to enter a strange space, a chaotic chaos shimmering only from the jade pendant's light. Within this light, he could vaguely discern blurry images of his family's ancestors gathered around a portal-like structure, clutching various magical instruments and performing a ritual. The portal itself bore a striking resemblance to the current door.
From the blurry image, Lin Yun seemed to grasp some key information. He saw that during the ritual, the ancestors would infuse the spiritual energy of their magical weapons into the runes on the portal in a specific order, accompanied by specific incantations and hand gestures. As they performed these actions, the runes on the portal gradually illuminated and eventually slowly opened.
Lin Yun's heart stirred. He opened his eyes and once again gazed at the massive door before him. He wondered, could this door be opened in the same way? Could it be that I had to inject spiritual energy into the runes on the door in a specific order, then use the corresponding incantations and hand gestures? He wasn't sure, but for now, he had no choice but to give it a try.
He took a deep breath, mobilized his spiritual energy, and then, following the approximate sequence he remembered from the jade pendant's image, began to attempt to inject it into the runes on the door. Simultaneously, he chanted, imitating the pronunciation of the incantations of his ancestors in the image, and made corresponding gestures with his hands.
As Lin Yun began to attempt to open the portal according to his deduced method, the runes on the door indeed responded. At first, only a few of them lit up faintly, but as he continued to inject spiritual energy, chant the spell, and make gestures, more and more runes began to glow, and the light grew stronger and stronger.
Su Yao watched nervously from the side, her hands secretly forming seals, ready to deal with any possible emergencies at any time. She knew that in this mysterious place, any seemingly smooth operation might hide a huge crisis, so she did not dare to let her guard down.
Just as the rune light on the door reached its strongest point, suddenly, black shadows emerged from all around the door. These shadows resembled human figures, but without specific facial features or forms. They exuded a strong shadowy aura, like evil spirits from hell, rushing towards Lin Yun and Su Yao with bared fangs and claws.
"Oh no, Lin Yun! How did these things come out when the door was opened!" Su Yao shouted anxiously. She quickly formed seals with her hands and cast a defensive spell, forming a layer of spiritual light shield in front of herself, trying to block the black shadows that were rushing towards her.
Lin Yun was also shocked by this sudden change, but he reacted quickly. He held the sword across his body and cast a spiritual shield, which cooperated with Su Yao's light shield to resist the attack of the black shadow.
However, the power of these black shadows is extremely strong. Every time they hit the shield and the light shield, a dull sound will be heard, and the spiritual light on the shield will flicker, as if it will break at any time.
"Lin Yun, we can't go on like this. The shield won't hold out for much longer! We have to find a way to fight back or find the weaknesses of these black shadows!" Su Yao shouted anxiously. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the speed at which her hands formed seals became faster and faster, trying to continuously increase the strength of the shield.
Lin Yun gritted his teeth and responded, "I know. I'm observing their movements. Just hold on!"
He stared intently at the black shadows that kept attacking the shield and light shield, while quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind. He knew that in this critical moment, he had to stay calm and find the flaws in these black shadows to have a chance of survival.
In this tense confrontation, Lin Yun forced himself to calm down and observe the every move of those black shadows with full concentration.
He discovered that every time these black shadows launched an attack, they would pause for a moment, as if they were gathering strength to prepare for the next attack. Moreover, during this pause, a faint light would flicker at the front of the black shadow, as if their energy was temporarily dispersed.
"Could this be their weakness?" Lin Yun's heart stirred, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He decided to observe for a while longer to confirm his guess.
So, he deliberately made some provocative movements to provoke the black shadows to attack even more frantically. Sure enough, after each attack, the black shadows would pause, the light at the front would flicker, and the energy would disperse.
"Su Yao, I seem to have found the weakness of these black shadows! After each attack, they will pause for a moment, a light will flash at the front, and the energy will disperse. We should take advantage of this time to attack them!" Lin Yun shouted loudly, with a hint of excitement in his voice, as if he saw a ray of hope in this dark and desperate situation.
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 saw the perfect moment. When a black shadow launched another attack and paused for a split second before completing the attack, with a flash of light at the front and the energy beginning to disperse, 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. This sword, with unstoppable force, slashed towards the black shadow 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 hit the black shadow. A dazzling light flashed, accompanied by a shrill scream, and the black shadow instantly disappeared into the air.
"Success!" Lin Yun and Su Yao shouted in surprise at the same time.
Seeing the effect, the two of them gained confidence and continued to attack the other black shadows using the same method. As more and more black shadows were eliminated under their concentrated attacks, they began to show signs of panic, their attack rhythm was disrupted, and their numbers gradually decreased.
Lin Yun and Su Yao gritted their teeth, seized the opportunity, and continued to launch more fierce attacks, finally successfully eliminating all the black shadows.
The entire space suddenly became quiet, leaving only the heavy breathing of the two people and the spiritual power fluctuations that had not yet completely dissipated.
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."
After successfully resolving the crisis of the black shadow, Lin Yun and Su Yao once again turned their attention to the huge door. After the tossing just now, the rune light on the door was weakened, but it still flashed with a mysterious light.
Lin Yun took a deep breath and decided to try again. He followed the same method as before, injecting spiritual energy, chanting the incantation, and making hand gestures. This time, perhaps because the black shadow had been eliminated and there was no interference, the runes on the door gradually glowed brighter, and finally, with a dull roar, it slowly opened.
An old, mysterious aura wafted in from the door, mingled with a faint floral scent, a stark contrast to the aura of the dark blue space outside. Inside the door was a vast, brightly lit space. Above was a dome composed of luminescent 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.
Lin Yun and Su Yao began to carefully explore this newly opened space. They first approached the huge statue, carefully examining every detail. The old man in the statue had a serene expression, and his wrinkles seemed to hold a story, but they could not decipher any further information from the statue itself.
Next, they came to the ancient instruments placed around the statue. Lin Yun reached out and touched the giant incense burner. It felt warm, but the flame was definitely not hot. He wondered what kind of thing it was. Su Yao, on the other hand, became intrigued by the clear, transparent liquid in the vat. She tried to use her spiritual power to sense its properties, but found that it seemed to resist spiritual power, preventing her from gaining a deeper understanding.
During his exploration, Lin Yun suddenly discovered some tiny characters engraved on the base of the statue. These characters were different from any he had seen in the world of immortal cultivation before, appearing more ancient and difficult to understand.
"Su Yao, look here, there are some strange words on the base of the statue. Maybe there are important clues hidden in it." Lin Yun pointed to the base of the statue, his eyes full of anticipation.
Su Yao also came over and took a closer look, and responded: "Well, it's really strange. We have to find a way to decipher these words and see if we can find the key to unlock all the secrets."
