Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

The emerald green light was as gentle as flowing water, but the power contained in it carried a mysterious pressure. It seemed not to come from this world, but from a higher level of existence, as if a part of the will in the dark was conveyed through this jade pendant.

Lin Fan stared at the jade pendant, feeling a little uneasy. This power was both familiar and strange, making people feel peaceful, yet it seemed to contain infinite possibilities. He vaguely felt that everything in front of him was somehow connected to some power hidden in the Holy Ruins, as if the will of the Holy Ruins was being expressed through this jade pendant.

As the green light gradually spread, the scene around Lin Fan began to change. The originally barren mountains, quiet rivers, and even the vast wilderness became hazy under the reflection of the green light, as if they were separated from reality and gradually shrouded in an illusory dream.

**"Is this... an illusion?"** Lin Fan frowned, trying to find some clues from this vision. He instinctively felt that this was not just an illusion, but a distortion of space by some force, or that he was being led into a deeper realm.

The four people's reaction

Jin Buke, Jiang Shuiling and Zhong Ling'er also noticed the change, and their eyes were all attracted by the jade pendant. They looked surprised and alert, and it was obvious that the strange phenomenon in this world was beyond their understanding.

Jin Buke held the sword tightly in both hands, his eyes full of solemnity and vigilance. As a monk with rich combat experience, his intuition told him that the jade pendant in front of him contained extraordinary power, and this power was likely to cause greater changes.

"What exactly is hidden in this jade pendant?" Jin Buke murmured in a low voice, with a little uneasiness in his tone. He could feel that this power was definitely not emitted by an ordinary magic weapon. The jade pendant seemed to carry some kind of ancient will, a mysterious power that he could not resist.

Jiang Shuiling frowned, her eyes full of doubt and thought. She was very sensitive and realized that the green light seemed to be leading them to an unknown place. She had a hunch that this jade pendant might not only be a protective object, but the power hidden behind it might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Holy Ruins.

"It seems to be guiding us to a certain place..." Jiang Shuiling said softly, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She vaguely felt that what was waiting for them ahead might not just be a trial, but the ultimate test of the laws of heaven and earth.

Zhong Ling'er stood beside Jiang Shuiling, holding the magic weapon tightly in her hand, with a nervous and alert look. Although her cultivation was slightly inferior to the four people, her intuition told her that the strange phenomenon before her was extraordinary, and perhaps they were being involved in a more dangerous situation.

Changes in the light

Lin Fan did not speak. He took a deep breath, suppressing all kinds of complicated emotions in his heart. The current situation made him feel a little confused, but he knew in his heart that all this was closely related to the secret of the Holy Ruins. The appearance of the old man, the change of the jade pendant, and the illusory scene in front of him seemed to be guiding him to some unknown truth.

The moment he stared at the jade pendant, the emerald green light suddenly surged and instantly enveloped everyone. The light carried an irresistible force that instantly enveloped the bodies of the four people, as if they were drawn into an invisible vortex.

Lin Fan only felt an invisible force dragging him in. His body seemed to no longer belong to him, and his consciousness gradually blurred. His vision began to distort, and the scene around him spun rapidly. The world lost its order at this moment, and time and space seemed to collapse together. Lin Fan tried to stay calm and stabilize his consciousness, but the green light was too strong, as if it instantly cut off his connection with the world.

A slight tinnitus echoed in Lin Fan's ears, and then the world in front of his eyes fell blank.

The next moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed dramatically, and Lin Fan suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking violently. The green light retreated quickly like a tide, instantly engulfing everything around him. The illusion between heaven and earth seemed to be suddenly torn apart and dissipated without a trace.

"What's going on?" Lin Fan was shocked.

He felt a powerful force coming from all directions, as if invisible hands were firmly grasping his body, forcing him to be unable to break free. This force brought an irresistible pull, as if the entire space was spinning rapidly, the world began to turn upside down, and reality and illusion seemed to merge into one at this moment.

Lin Fan's body was dragged into it by the powerful pulling force. The sound of whistling wind came to his ears. The ground under his feet was no longer stable, as if it disappeared into nothingness. His vision became blurred between twisting and spinning. The scene around him turned rapidly. Everything passed by quickly in front of his eyes, as if time and space were distorted.

Lin Fan tried hard to stay calm and quickly mobilized the true energy in his body to try to stabilize his body, but the invisible pulling force was too strong. Even if he tried his best, he could not resist this mysterious force.

"Is this teleportation... or space shift?" A trace of doubt flashed through Lin Fan's mind, but he soon realized that this power seemed different from the previous teleportation, and seemed to have some kind of profound will.

When the rotation of heaven and earth finally stopped, the pulling force suddenly disappeared, and Lin Fan only felt his body suddenly sinking, as if he fell back to the ground from an endless height.

He slowly opened his eyes, his breathing became slightly rapid, and the surrounding scene gradually became clear. At this moment, he found that he was no longer in the wilderness, but returned to a familiar but suspicious place - the cave where they first entered the Holy Ruins.

This cave was once the entrance to the Holy Ruins and the starting point of their journey into the unknown. However, now, the cave no longer has the mystery and vitality it once had, but is shrouded in an indescribable desolation and silence.

There was no spiritual energy flowing in the air, but instead it was filled with a dull feeling of oppression, as if everything here had lost its vitality and turned into a ruin.

Lin Fan frowned slightly and stood up. He felt that the atmosphere around him was extremely unusual, as if something was watching them invisibly. But the scene before him was unmistakable - this was their original starting point.

He turned around and looked around. Jin Buke, Jiang Shuiling, and Zhong Ling'er were also teleported back with him. The three of them also looked puzzled and puzzled. It was obvious that they also felt the deep meaning behind this teleportation.

Jiang Shuiling held the magic weapon tightly in her hand, stood up slowly, and looked around, with a look of doubt and vigilance in her eyes. Her eyes wandered in the cave, as if trying to find some clues from this silent space. However, all she saw was a desolate ruin.

"We are actually back here again..." Jiang Shuiling said softly, with an indescribable complex emotion in her tone.

This cave was once the entrance through which they entered the Holy Ruins, but now it seems to have lost its mysterious spiritual power. The entire cave has become extremely empty, and even the spiritual energy that should have been in the air has become extremely thin.

"What's going on? Why are we back here?" Zhong Ling'er said uneasily, frowning slightly. She had been holding the magic weapon tightly in her hand, her expression full of vigilance. As a sensitive cultivator, she was extremely sensitive to changes in the surroundings, and the cave at this moment made her feel extremely uneasy.

**"There is no spiritual energy flowing here, and the teleportation array has been completely abandoned..."** Jin Buke glanced around the cave, and his eyes soon stopped at the teleportation array in the center of the cave. He walked forward, squatted down, and carefully checked the state of the array, and his fingers gently touched the array patterns that had become dim.

The teleportation array used to be their only passage into the Holy Ruins, but at this moment, this teleportation array has become a complete ruin. The spiritual power that once flowed through the array has completely disappeared, and what is left is only a broken array pattern, cold and unresponsive.

Jin Buke stood up, his brows furrowed and his eyes heavy.

"The teleportation array has been completely abandoned..." Lin Fan walked forward and whispered. He gently reached out and touched the remaining array pattern of the teleportation array with his fingertips, feeling the cold and lifeless stone surface. The array pattern had long lost its former glory, like an ordinary stone that had lost its power.

The entire cave was shrouded in an indescribable silence. Not even a trace of spiritual energy could be felt in the air, as if this place had been abandoned for countless years. The runes on the walls of the cave that once emitted a faint glow were now completely dim, losing all vitality.

Lin Fan's eyes swept around the cave, and he couldn't help but feel a heavy sense of doubt and uneasiness in his heart. Why did they return to this starting point after experiencing the changes in the jade pendant? And why did this cave lose its spiritual energy and power?

"This is no longer the place we originally entered." Lin Fan said in a deep voice, his eyes still fixed on the teleportation array, as if he was pondering the truth behind all this.

Jiang Shuiling also walked to Lin Fan's side and shook her head gently: "There is not a trace of spiritual energy left here, and even the power of the formation has been completely lost. Our return here means that the trial of the Holy Ruins has ended?"

There was deep doubt in her tone, and it was obvious that she did not believe that this journey would end so easily. Lin Fan fell into deep thought, and he knew that this trial was far from over. Although everything they saw seemed deserted, he had a vague feeling that there was still some undiscovered power hidden here, perhaps waiting for them to discover.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Zhong Ling'er suddenly widened her eyes, pointed in the direction outside the cave and exclaimed, "Are we back to Xueting Village again?"
