Chapter 849: New Clues in the Exploration
On his way back to the Immortal Sect, Lin Feng's thoughts lingered on his experiences exploring the ruins. The mysterious, illusory figure, the "Starry Sky Controlling Art," and the "Chaos Spirit Crystal" he had obtained had deepened his understanding of the Immortal Sect's heritage. At the same time, the black-robed monks who had followed him and attempted to steal the treasures also made him wary. He knew that the Immortal Sect's strength had attracted many covetous individuals, and he must accelerate the pace of strengthening the Immortal Sect.
"Brother, what are the origins of those black-robed monks?" Jian Chen broke the silence in the team, his eyes revealing confusion and vigilance.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Judging from their style of action and magic, they must be some evil force hiding in the shadows. They have been keeping an eye on the Immortal Gate and must have some knowledge of its background and relics. If they didn't succeed this time, I'm afraid they will come again."
Su Yao frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Brother, what should we do? Although the Immortal Sect repelled them once, there is no guarantee that there will not be a more powerful enemy next time."
Lin Feng's expression was resolute. He said, "We must accelerate the research and application of the 'Starry Sky Controlling Art' and the 'Chaos Spirit Crystal'. These two treasures may be the key to improving our strength and responding to future crises. At the same time, we must strengthen the defense and vigilance of the Immortal Sect and not give the enemy any more opportunities to exploit."
Upon returning to the Immortal Sect, Lin Feng immediately summoned Elder Yanfeng, Yichen, and other relevant personnel to study the "Starry Sky Control Art" and the "Chaos Spirit Crystal" in a secret chamber. Elder Yanfeng carefully held the "Chaos Spirit Crystal," his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. "Lin Feng, this 'Chaos Spirit Crystal' contains extremely powerful and unique spiritual energy. If it can be integrated into a magical weapon, perhaps a divine artifact surpassing all previous creations can be created."
Yi Chen was intently flipping through the "Starry Sky Control Art," saying as he read, "Brother, this technique not only improves our control over spiritual power, but some of the pathways and techniques for spiritual power circulation also offer great inspiration for improving our weapon refining techniques. For example, the spiritual power circulation method it mentions might be applicable to the spiritual power storage system of magical weapons."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Very good, the two of you should focus on this. Elder Yanfeng, devote all your efforts to researching how to integrate the 'Chaos Spirit Crystal' into the magic weapon; Yichen, delve deeply into the 'Starry Sky Controlling Art' and explore its integration with the weapon refining process. Report any progress to me in a timely manner."
However, just as everyone was immersed in their research, the disciple in charge of compiling the ancient texts related to the ruins arrived with important news. "Brother Lin, we've discovered some new clues about the ruins within the ancient texts. It seems that deeper within the Immortal Sect ruins lies a mysterious space, which may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of the Immortal Sect's origins, as well as even more powerful magical weapons and techniques."
Lin Feng's heart trembled. He knew that if the mystery of the Xian Sect's origin could be solved, it would have an immeasurable impact on its development. "This matter is of great importance, and we must treat it with caution. However, this could also be a great opportunity to enhance the strength of the Xian Sect."
After some discussion, Lin Feng decided to once again lead Jian Chen, Su Yao, and other core disciples, as well as a group of experienced elders, to explore the ruins of the Immortal Sect in search of new clues. With a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, everyone once again set foot in the mysterious ruins.
The ancient atmosphere permeating the ruins grew stronger, and everyone cautiously advanced, following their previous route. When they reached the hall where they had obtained the treasure box, they discovered a previously unseen passageway on one side of the hall. A faint light flickered in the passage, as if beckoning them.
"It seems that this is the entrance to a deeper place." Lin Feng said in a low voice, his eyes revealing determination and caution.
The group slowly made their way along the increasingly narrow passage, the walls on either side covered in strange patterns and symbols. Elder Yanfeng observed them carefully as he walked, saying, "These patterns seem to tell the history of the Immortal Sect, but they're too obscure to fully comprehend."
Suddenly, a group of phoenix-like flaming birds appeared in front of the passage. Blazing flames burned all over their bodies, and they chirped clearly and loudly, watching everyone warily.
"Everyone be careful, these spiritual birds look difficult to deal with." Jian Chen tightly gripped the sword in his hand, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if it also sensed the danger ahead.
Su Yao quickly cast the ice spell "Ice Shield", and a huge ice shield appeared in front of everyone, resisting the oncoming heat wave. Seeing this, the flame spirit birds flapped their wings and flew high, spraying flames at everyone from the air.
Lin Feng used the "Sword Controlling the Universe" technique, and his sword energy swept across the sky, dispersing some of the flames. However, the Flame Bird's attack was so fierce that cracks began to appear on the ice shield.
"This is not a solution. We have to take the initiative." Lin Feng said.
Jian Chen nodded, unleashing the "Sword Shadow Shuttle" technique. With lightning speed, he charged towards the Flame Bird. His sword gleamed coldly in the flames as he engaged the Flame Bird in close combat. Su Yao, in the background, continuously cast ice spells, attempting to lower the flames' temperature and disrupt their movements.
Elder Yanfeng observed the movements of the Flame Spirit Birds and discovered they seemed to react to certain fluctuations in spiritual energy. "Lin Feng, try soothing them with gentle wood spiritual energy. Perhaps this conflict can be resolved."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng quickly switched his spiritual power attributes and unleashed the "Green Wood Spiritual Breath." A gentle wood-type spiritual power drifted towards the Flame Spirit Bird. The Flame Spirit Bird sensed this spiritual power, and its originally ferocious attacks gradually softened, its eyes becoming less hostile.
"It seems to be effective. Continue to increase the output of spiritual power." Elder Yanfeng said.
Under Lin Feng's continuous soothing of wood-type spiritual power, the fire spirit bird finally stopped attacking and slowly fell to the ground, no longer posing a threat to everyone.
The group continued forward, finally reaching the end of the passage. A massive stone gate appeared before them, engraved with a complete diagram of the origins of the Immortal Sect. The diagram depicted the magnificent scene of the sect's ancestors creating the world and establishing the sect amidst chaos.
"The secret of the origin of the immortal gate may be hidden behind this stone door." Lin Feng said, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
Just as everyone was preparing to figure out how to open the stone gate, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from outside the ruins. A disciple on guard duty rushed in to report, "Brother Lin, this is bad! A group of powerful cultivators are heading towards the ruins. They appear to be even more formidable than the black-robed cultivators from last time!"
Lin Feng's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "Are they here to steal the treasures from the ruins again?" He quickly said, "Everyone, prepare for battle. We must not let them destroy the ruins and interfere with our exploration of the secrets of the origin of the Immortal Sect!"
Jian Chen gripped his sword tightly, his eyes burning with the fire of battle, and said, "Brother, don't worry! I want to see how capable these people are!"
Su Yao also looked determined, condensing the ice spiritual power in her hands, and said: "Don't think they can succeed easily!"
They quickly returned to the ruins' entrance, only to see the sky thick with dark clouds and a group of monks in silver armor slowly descending. Leading them was a stern-looking middle-aged man holding a silver spear, his eyes revealing arrogance and greed.
"Who are you? Why did you break into the Immortal Gate ruins!" Lin Feng shouted angrily.
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "I am an elder of the Silver Moon Divine Sect. I heard that the ruins of the Immortal Sect contain shocking secrets and treasures, so I have come to take them away. If you know what's good for you, just retreat obediently, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Lin Feng was furious and said, "Silver Moon Divine Sect? What an arrogant tone! These ruins belong to our sect. How can we allow outsiders like you to run wild? Disciples of the sect, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Battle erupted instantly, the Silver Moon Divine Sect's cultivators unleashing powerful spells one after another. Silver light rained down upon the Immortal Sect's inhabitants like a torrential downpour. Lin Feng unleashed "Sword Breaking the Sky," a sword beam imbued with devastating power, meeting the enemy's magical attacks. The light collided, unleashing a deafening roar.
Jian Chen led the immortal sect's sword cultivators in unleashing a fierce sword formation, piercing the enemy formation like a sharp blade. As Jian Chen's precious sword swung, sword energy surged, forcing the silver-armored cultivators to dodge.
Su Yao unleashed the "Ice Dragon Storm", and a huge ice dragon wreaked havoc among the enemy. Wherever it passed, the temperature plummeted, and the enemy's movements became slow.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man took action himself. He unleashed the "Silver Moon Sky-Splitting Spear," sending a massive silver spear beam hurtling towards Lin Feng with incredible speed and power. Lin Feng quickly unleashed the "Sword Controlling the Universe," a technique incorporating the "Starry Sky Controlling Art" spiritual power. The sword and spear beams collided, and the powerful spiritual energy surges shattered the surrounding ground.
"You have some skills! But none of you can stop me today!" The middle-aged man roared, and once again displayed a more powerful spear technique "Silver Moon Ten Thousand Waves". Countless silver spear shadows rushed towards the people from the Immortal Sect like waves.
Lin Feng was well aware of the power of this attack, and he quickly shouted, "Everyone, concentrate your spiritual energy and defend together!" The Immortal Sect members quickly gathered their spiritual energy, forming a powerful defensive barrier. The silver spear shadows collided with the defensive barrier, making loud noises. The defensive barrier flickered and became shaky.
At this moment, Elder Yan Feng suddenly came up with an idea. He said to Yi Chen, "Yi Chen, let's use the spiritual power of the 'Chaos Spirit Crystal' to enhance the power of the defensive barrier!"
Yi Chen nodded, quickly took out the "Chaos Spirit Crystal", and channeled its spiritual power into the defensive barrier. Suddenly, the defensive barrier glowed brightly, successfully resisting the attack of "Silver Moon Ten Thousand Waves".
The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw this: "What kind of treasure is this? It's so powerful!"
Lin Feng seized the opportunity and shouted, "Immortal Sect disciples, fight back!" Inspired by the power of the "Chaos Spirit Crystal," the Immortal Sect's morale soared, and they unleashed their strongest spells and swordsmanship, attacking the Silver Moon Divine Sect's cultivators. Unable to resist, the Silver Moon Divine Sect's cultivators fell into disarray.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the middle-aged man had no choice but to flee in a panic with his men.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the retreating enemy. He turned to look at the disciples around him and said, "Everyone did a great job! This battle once again proves the strength of our sect. But we can't relax. We must continue to explore the ruins and unlock the secrets of our sect's origins."
Everyone returned to the massive stone gate and began to work tirelessly to figure out how to open it and uncover the key clues to the origins of the Immortal Sect. They knew there might be more challenges ahead, but for the future of the Immortal Sect, they would forge ahead bravely and never retreat.
