As we approach the center of the vortex step by step, the surrounding space begins to twist and deform, and time seems to become blurred here.
We feel as if we have entered a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar, full of unknown dangers and possibilities.
As we get closer to the center of the vortex, the pulling force becomes stronger and stronger, as if it is tearing our souls out of our bodies.
The surrounding scene became increasingly blurry, leaving only the black abyss in the center of the vortex that attracted us.
"Be careful!" Yuan Tingfeng suddenly shouted, and a powerful force burst out from his body, forming a light shield that tightly wrapped us inside.
At this moment, countless ghosts and resentments seemed to smell the scent of prey and rushed toward us crazily.
We watched the scene outside nervously inside the light shield, and saw that the ghosts and resentments dissipated like smoke as soon as they came into contact with the light shield.
But the power in the vortex keeps coming, and the light shield is gradually weakening.
"We have to hurry!" I shouted.
Qin Wuyan and Yuan Ling nodded, they also felt the urgency of time.
At this moment, a more powerful force suddenly burst out from the center of the vortex, and a ray of light shot out from the center and shot straight into the sky.
We felt ourselves being attracted by a huge force, and our whole bodies seemed to have escaped gravity and flew towards the center of the vortex.
Everything in front of us became chaotic in an instant, and we seemed to have traveled through countless spaces and times.
When our sight gradually recovered, we found that we were already standing in a brand new world.
This is a huge underground space, surrounded by towering stone pillars, each of which is engraved with complex runes.
In the center of the space is a huge altar with various strange sacrifices placed on it.
We walked to the altar cautiously, and saw an ancient coffin in the center of the altar. The coffin was covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had opened it for countless years.
"What...what is this place?" I asked in a low voice, my heart filled with surprise and fear.
"This may be the core of Yinyuan Temple," Yuan Ling said, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
We were about to continue exploring when suddenly, a powerful breath burst out from the coffin, and the entire space began to shake violently.
We feel an invisible pressure pressing down on our hearts, which makes us almost breathless.
At this moment, the coffin slowly opened, and a cold breath came out of it.
We saw an old man wearing ancient Taoist robes lying in the coffin. His face was peaceful, as if he was just sleeping.
But we know that there are no signs of life here, and the old man in front of us is definitely not an ordinary corpse.
"Who is he?" Qin Wuyan asked nervously, the flaming sword in his hand ready to attack at any time.
Yuan Tingfeng frowned and thought, and suddenly his expression changed drastically: "This is impossible... This is the legendary Ancestor Yin Yuan! He is the founder of Yin Yuan Temple, an extremely powerful Taoist priest, it is said that he has mastered The secret of reincarnation!"
We all felt a chill rising from our spines. The name of Ancestor Yin Yuan was a legend that everyone knew even in the monastic world.
At this moment, Ancestor Yin Yuan's eyes suddenly opened slowly, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the long river of time and look directly into our souls.
"You...are finally here..." He spoke slowly, his voice sounding like it came from the abyss, carrying an indescribable majesty and vicissitudes of life.
We almost dare not breathe. The appearance of Ancestor Yin Yuan means that what we are about to face may be an unprecedented challenge.
The voice of Ancestor Yin Yuan echoed in the empty underground space, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting our hearts.
He slowly sat up, the lid of the coffin closed gently, and the atmosphere in the entire space became more solemn.
"For hundreds of years, I have been waiting for the arrival of the destined person." Ancestor Yin Yuan's voice was low and steady. His eyes shifted from Qin Wuyan to me, and finally settled on Yuan Ling and Yuan Tingfeng. It seemed that Can see into the heart of each of us.
We stood there, not daring to make the slightest move, for fear of triggering the dissatisfaction of this legendary powerful being.
Ancestor Yin Yuan didn't seem to mind our nervousness. He stood up slowly and walked off the altar with a steady and powerful step.
"Are you here to find answers, or to challenge your own limits?" he asked, with deep wisdom seemingly hidden in his voice.
We looked at each other, and finally I mustered up the courage to answer: "We are here to uncover the secrets of Yinyuan Temple and find opportunities here."
Ancestor Yin Yuan nodded, seemingly satisfied with my answer.
He walked up to us, and with every step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
"What the Hidden Abyss Temple hides is not only ancient secrets, but also a portal to another world." He said, pointing to a secret door under the altar, "But, if you want to pass through this portal, you must Be tested.”
We looked at the secret door nervously, filled with anxiety.
Ancestor Yin Yuan continued: "This test is a test of your courage and wisdom.
You must find and open three ancient seals within a limited time, otherwise you will be trapped here forever and become part of this secret realm. "
After saying these words, Ancestor Yin Yuan swayed, as if turning into a burst of smoke, and disappeared in front of us.
All that is left is the secret door, open, as if tempting us toward an unknown fate.
We didn't have much time to hesitate. After taking a deep breath, we walked into the secret door together.
Behind the door is a winding staircase leading to a deeper underground world.
As soon as we stepped into this new space, we felt a cold wind blowing through us, accompanied by a low moaning sound.
The surrounding walls were carved with strange runes and shimmered with light.
"The air here is full of weird power." Qin Wuyan whispered, holding the flaming sword tightly.
We continued to move forward and encountered many unimaginable traps and monsters along the way. Each challenge tested our courage and wisdom.
We must rely on each other's strength to survive in this dangerous place.
Time seems to have lost its meaning here, and we don’t know how long we have been walking here.
But we know that we cannot stop, we must find those three ancient seals and close them.
After countless trials and challenges, we finally found the first seal.
It is located in the center of a huge cave, surrounded by countless skeletons and ghosts.
We cautiously walked towards the seal, only to see that the seal was engraved with strange runes and emitted a faint blue light.
Following the instructions of Ancestor Yin Yuan, we began to try to unlock the seal.
