Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Zhong Ling'er walked quickly to the stone gate, her eyes sparkling as she carefully examined the intricate runes on the stone gate. These runes were ancient and mysterious, as if carrying ancient secrets, with blue light constantly swimming on the surface of the stone gate. A hint of excitement and curiosity flashed in her eyes, and a passion was faintly ignited in her heart.

"This formation is indeed extraordinary, and seems to be a relic from ancient times." There was a hint of awe and excitement in her voice, "But after so many years of erosion, its power has weakened a lot... Although it is not easy to crack, I am confident."

Zhong Ling'er's determination reassured Lin Fan. He nodded and signaled Jin Buke and Jiang Shuiling to be alert. He knew very well that in such an environment, breaking the formation would often lead to unknown dangers, and any slackness could lead to disaster.

"Ling'er, just go ahead and break the formation. We will stay here to protect you." Lin Fan said softly. His tone was steady, but it revealed his absolute trust in his companions.

Jin Buke drew out his sword and stood beside Zhong Ling'er, his eyes as sharp as a sword, coldly scanning the surroundings. His sword flashed a sharp cold light in the sun, as if it could cut off any threat that dared to approach at any time.

Jiang Shuiling stood on the other side, the spiritual power in her hands surged slightly, and the blue water swirled in her palms, as if it turned into a water curtain to protect Zhong Linger. Her eyes were solemn, but revealed a sense of calmness and trust.

Zhong Ling'er took a deep breath, calmed down, closed her eyes, and began to make seals with her hands quickly. Her fingers were flexible and fast, as if there was some invisible connection between them and the runes. Silver spiritual power flowed out from her fingertips and quickly gathered into pieces of complex symbols in the air. Those symbols seemed to have life, flexibly shuttling in the air, and gradually embedded into the rune nodes on the stone door along her fingers.

As Zhong Ling'er continued to inject runes, the blue light on the stone door dimmed slightly, and the originally powerful and mysterious sealing power was gradually weakened. However, it was obviously not easy to crack this formation. Zhong Ling'er's forehead gradually oozed fine beads of sweat, and her hands moved faster and faster.

"Although this formation is complicated, it is not unsolvable." Zhong Ling'er murmured to herself, beads of sweat on her forehead dripping down her cheeks. She could feel her spiritual power being consumed rapidly. Such delicate operations were undoubtedly a huge challenge for her.

Lin Fan looked at Zhong Ling'er's nervous back, with a hint of admiration and heartache in his eyes. He knew Zhong Ling'er's ability, but the crack at this moment was obviously beyond her usual limit. However, he believed that Zhong Ling'er would be able to do it. He sighed secretly in his heart. After this time, Zhong Ling'er's attainments in formations will definitely reach a higher level, which will be a great help to their future battles.

The air around them seemed to have changed because of Zhong Ling'er's efforts. Faintly, Lin Fan felt a sense of uneasiness, as if something was watching them. He frowned slightly, looking into the distance with a sharp gaze, and the Qiankun Axe in his hand quietly emitted a faint golden light, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

"Brother Fan, there's movement!" Jin Buke suddenly said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the thick fog in front of him like a sword, the long sword in his hand already raised high.

Lin Fan nodded, signaling everyone to stay alert. He also heard the faint strange noise, as if some creature was wandering in the fog, watching their every move. Zhong Ling'er was trying her best to break the formation, and any interruption might ruin her efforts, so they had to eliminate all threats without hesitation.

Jiang Shuiling looked calm. She raised her hand, and the blue water curtain continued to expand, completely sealing off Zhong Ling'er's surroundings, forming an indestructible defensive barrier. Her eyes scanned the surroundings, and the water spirit power in her body resonated with the surrounding water vapor, making her extremely sensitive to every change in the environment.

Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the fog at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards Zhong Ling'er. It was a monster shaped like a giant lizard, covered with wet scales, with cruel light flashing in its eyes, obviously taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

"You're looking for death!" Jin Buke snorted coldly, and with a swing of his sword, the sword light turned into a bright beam of light, instantly splitting the monster in half. The monster let out a scream, turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated into the air.

"Everyone be careful, there are other monsters." Lin Fan said in a deep voice, the Qiankun Axe in his hand was ready to go. He could feel that more threats were lurking in the thick fog and could attack at any time.

Zhong Ling'er's hands were still forming seals quickly. Although she felt the pressure from the battle around her, she was still focused, trying to decipher the formation without distraction. She knew that as long as she could successfully open the stone door, they would be able to enter the secret realm, avoid the threats from the outside world, and obtain the legendary opportunity.

Finally, before Zhong Ling'er's spiritual power was about to run out, the stone door made a low "boom" sound. The entire entrance to the secret realm seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, and the stone door slowly opened to both sides, and a stone staircase leading to the depths of the secret realm appeared in front of everyone.

The opening of the stone gate brought in extremely rich water-based spiritual energy, which seemed to have been pent up for countless years and instantly gushed out from the stone gate. Lin Fan and the others only felt the spiritual energy rushing towards them, so strong that it was almost suffocating.

Jiang Shuiling's eyes showed amazement: "This spiritual energy... is so rich! This level of water spiritual energy cannot be compared even to the top water secret realms."

Zhong Ling'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and forced a smile: "Okay, the formation has been cracked, and we can enter the secret realm." Her voice was a little tired, and it was obvious that the crack just now had consumed a lot of her energy and spiritual power.

Lin Fan patted Zhong Ling'er on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Ling'er, you've worked hard. We have to be careful next time, as there will be more dangers in the secret realm."

Jin Buke held his sword horizontally in front of him and sneered, "Come on, I want to see how powerful these legendary monsters are."

Lin Fan nodded, motioning for everyone to follow him into the stone gate. He was the first to step onto the stone steps, which led to a dark and deep underground world. The air around him became increasingly cold, and the concentration of spiritual energy almost made people feel depressed.

Jiang Shuiling walked behind Lin Fan, the blue water curtain in her hand still not dissipated, she silently reminded herself in her heart to stay alert at all times. Zhong Ling'er followed closely behind, although a little tired, but her eyes were still firm. Jin Buke walked at the end, the long sword in his hand gently swinging, ready to fight at any time.

This stone staircase seemed to extend deep underground. The four people walked forward carefully while looking at the surrounding environment. The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with ancient dragon totems. Those totems seemed to be roaring in a low voice, faintly revealing a majestic and mysterious atmosphere.

"These totems... seem to be telling the story of the water dragon." Zhong Ling'er raised her head and stared at the totems, feeling awe in her heart. Each totem seemed to carry ancient memories, making people want to find out more.
