Chapter 850: The direction of clues

After repelling the Silver Moon Divine Sect's elders, Lin Feng and the others returned their attention to the massive stone gate before them, engraved with the Immortal Gate's Origin Diagram. They gathered around the stone gate, carefully studying the patterns and patterns on it, trying to find a way to open it.

Elder Yanfeng approached the stone gate, his fingers gently tracing the ancient lines, his eyes focused and deep. "Lin Feng, these lines may seem chaotic, but they actually contain a certain pattern. I feel like they bear a resemblance to the ancient spiritual energy circulation systems of the Immortal Sect."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the stone gate, pondering Elder Yan Feng's words. "Perhaps we need to inject spiritual power into the stone gate according to a specific spiritual power flow method in order to open it."

Yi Chen flipped through the relevant records he had hastily found in the ancient texts of the Immortal Sect and said as he read, "Brother, I found some records of the Immortal Sect's spiritual power rituals in the ancient texts. One of the rituals is quite similar to the situation we are facing. The ritual mentions that several cultivators with different spiritual power attributes need to inject spiritual power in a specific order to awaken the sealing power of the stone gate."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he said, "Yi Chen, tell me in detail."

Yi Chen pointed to the records in the ancient book and said, "First, the cultivators with wood spiritual power will inject gentle vitality spiritual power to open the stone gate's perception; then, the cultivators with fire spiritual power will inject scorching spiritual power to stimulate the vitality of the stone gate; then, the cultivators with water spiritual power will inject moistening spiritual power to balance the power within the stone gate; finally, the cultivators with earth spiritual power will inject heavy spiritual power to stabilize the stone gate's open state."

After hearing this, Lin Feng quickly began to plan in his mind. "Jian Chen, you excel at assisting with the use of wood spiritual energy, so you'll go first. Su Yao, you'll be responsible for injecting water spiritual energy. Elder Yan Feng, you're most adept at controlling fire spiritual energy, so you'll take over next. I've cultivated a method for controlling earth spiritual energy, so I'll be the final one to stabilize it. Everyone, follow my instructions and inject spiritual energy in the order you choose."

Everyone took their positions. Jian Chen took a deep breath and slowly injected his wood-element spiritual energy into the stone gate. The patterns on the stone gate glowed with a faint green light, as if a sleeping giant beast was slowly awakening. "We've succeeded on the first step. Everyone, hold steady," Lin Feng whispered, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Su Yao then injected water spiritual power into the stone gate. The green light was mixed with a hint of blue light. The stone gate trembled slightly and emitted a low humming sound. "The stone gate's reaction is very strong. It seems that the direction is correct." Elder Yanfeng said, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Elder Yanfeng then injected his fire energy into the stone gate. Instantly, a red light shone, intertwining with the previous green and blue light. The stone gate trembled even more violently, and the light grew even brighter. Lin Feng sensed the powerful force within the stone gate about to erupt, and shouted, "Prepare for the final step! I'm injecting earth energy!"

Lin Feng concentrated all his energy and poured earth-element spiritual power into the stone gate like a torrent. The four spiritual powers blended and collided with each other inside the stone gate. Finally, the stone gate slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura rushed towards him.

Behind the stone gate was a vast circular space, its walls inlaid with a variety of exotic gemstones, emitting a soft glow. In the center of the space hung a massive crystal tablet, inscribed with dense runes.

Lin Feng and the others cautiously entered the space and came to the crystal tablet. Jian Chen looked at the runes on the crystal tablet with a bewildered look on his face. He said, "Brother, I have never seen these runes before. How do I interpret them?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. At this time, Su Yao suddenly said: "Brother, look at the arrangement of these runes. It seems to be related to some patterns we saw in the ruins before."

Elder Yanfeng also nodded and said: "Su Yao is right, perhaps we can start from the previous clues and try to decipher these runes."

Just as everyone was struggling to decipher the runes, a sudden commotion erupted from outside the space. A disciple on guard duty rushed in, his face pale as he spoke, "Brother Lin, this is bad! A group of cultivators calling themselves the 'Tianming Sect' have surrounded the ruins. They're threatening to destroy the Immortal Gate ruins unless the treasure behind the stone gate is surrendered!"

Lin Feng was furious, his eyes instantly turning cold. "These people are really pushing their limits! It seems we can't pursue the clues without completely eliminating them."

Jian Chen clenched his sword tightly, his eyes flashing with anger as he said, "Brother, let me go and meet them! I want to see what this 'Tian Ming Sect' is capable of!"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Jian Chen, don't be impulsive. Since this 'Tian Ming Sect' dared to come, they must be well prepared. Let's go out and take a look at the situation first, and then make plans."

Everyone quickly exited the space and saw a dense crowd of black-robed Tianming Sect monks standing outside the ruins. Leading the group was a sinister old man holding a black wand topped with a red gem that emitted an eerie glow.

"Are you from the Immortal Sect? If you know what's good for you, quickly hand over the treasure behind the stone gate. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave alive today!" The old man's voice was sharp and full of threats.

Lin Feng took a step forward and said fearlessly, "'Tianming Sect'? What an arrogant tone! The treasures in these Immortal Sect ruins are the legacy left by our ancestors and have nothing to do with outsiders like you. If you want the treasures, first ask the swords in our hands if they agree!"

The old man sneered and waved his hand. The cultivators of the "Tianming Sect" cast dark spells one after another. A black mist spread out, rushing towards the people of the Immortal Sect. Ferocious ghost faces vaguely emerged from the mist, emitting waves of eerie howls, trying to disturb the minds of the people.

Lin Feng quickly unleashed his "Sword Controlling the Universe" technique, his sword energy crisscrossing the air, dispersing the black mist. However, the mist continued to pour in, and the cultivators of the "Tian Ming Sect" seized the opportunity to launch an attack, sending black rays of light shooting towards the Immortal Sect's members like sharp arrows.

Su Yao cast the "Ice Spike Storm", and countless ice spikes fell from the sky, colliding with the black light, making a "ding-dong" sound. Although the ice spikes blocked some of the attacks, some black light still broke through the defense line and shot towards everyone.

Seeing this, Elder Yanfeng cast the "Flame Dragon Burning the Sky" technique, and a huge flaming dragon flew out of his hand and rushed into the group of monks from the "Tianming Sect". Wherever the flaming dragon passed, the black mist was dispelled, and some monks were hit by the flames and screamed in pain.

Jian Chen unleashed his "Swift Wind Sword Shadow" ability, charging into the enemy formation with lightning speed. His precious sword gleamed coldly within the black mist as he engaged in close combat with the cultivators of the "Tian Ming Sect." As he fought, Jian Chen thought to himself, "These guys are quite powerful, but for the sake of the Immortal Sect, I must not retreat!"

Lin Feng observed the battlefield and noticed that the Tianming Sect's cultivators seemed to be centered around the old man, whose dark magic continuously provided strength to the other cultivators. "We must first eliminate that leading old man!" Lin Feng thought to himself, unleashing the "Sword Breaking the Sky" technique, which incorporated the spiritual power of the "Starry Sky Controlling Art." A sword beam imbued with devastating force shot towards the old man.

The old man sensed the deadly threat and quickly swung his wand, casting the "Netherworld Shield." A black shield appeared before him. The sword's light struck the shield, unleashing a powerful surge of spiritual energy, and cracks appeared on its surface.

"Hmph, is that all you can do?" The old man snorted coldly and tried to fight back. However, Lin Feng took advantage of the gap between his spells and once again used "Sword Shadow Assault". He instantly appeared in front of the old man, with his sword pointed directly at his throat.

The old man was horrified and quickly dodged to the side, but was still cut by Lin Feng's sword. The morale of the monks of the "Tianming Sect" dropped sharply when they saw their leader was injured.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity and shouted, "Disciples of the Immortal Sect, fight back with all your might!" Led by Lin Feng, the Immortal Sect's morale was greatly boosted. They unleashed their strongest spells and swordsmanship, attacking the Tianming Sect's cultivators. The Tianming Sect's cultivators were unable to resist and began to collapse.

Seeing this, the old man knew that he would not gain any benefit today, so he waved his hand and quickly fled with his men.

Lin Feng watched the retreating enemy, realizing that the secrets of the Immortal Gate ruins had attracted too many covetous individuals. He turned to look at the crowd and said, "Is everyone alright? This battle serves as another reminder that time is of the essence. We must decipher the runes on the crystal tablet as quickly as possible to see where these clues lead."

Everyone returned to the space and continued to study the runes on the crystal tablet. After some effort, they finally discovered from the clues in the runes that they seemed to point to a mysterious place - the Lingyuan Secret Realm. It was said that there was the key to unlocking the mystery of the origin of the immortal sect, but also countless opportunities and dangers awaited them.

Lin Feng looked at everyone, his eyes gleaming with determination, and said, "It seems that our next target is the Lingyuan Secret Realm. Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, for the future of the Immortal Sect, we must embark on this journey. Everyone go back and prepare well, and we will set off as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation for the unknown and determination to fight for the Immortal Sect. They knew that this would be an even more difficult adventure, but for the glory and inheritance of the Immortal Sect, they were fearless and would bravely move forward in the direction guided by the clues.
