Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan stood in the wilderness. The wind around him gradually died down, and the burning smell in the air gradually dissipated. The remaining power of the thunder tribulation was like an invisible hand, slowly retreating. The might of the thunder tribulation just now was still echoing in his mind. The world seemed to be torn apart by lightning, leaving endless silence.

Lin Fan was still a little tired, and every inch of muscle in his body seemed to have experienced a rebirth. The pain and fatigue slowly faded, replaced by an indescribable sense of openness and comfort. He took a deep breath and felt the flow of his true energy. The golden elixir in his dantian was suspended steadily there, emitting a warm light. Although the thunder tribulation was dangerous, he gained unprecedented strength from it. He felt that his cultivation was getting better and better, and the true energy in his body was flowing more smoothly, as if all the spiritual energy in the world could be used by him.

"The thunder tribulation is finally over..." Lin Fan murmured softly, with a hint of confidence and contemplation in his eyes. Every time he survived the thunder tribulation, it was like a battle between life and death. The thunder tribulation was not only a destruction of the body, but more of a test of the state of mind. This time, he not only survived the thunder tribulation, but also felt that he had a deeper understanding of the mystery between heaven and earth.

He closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility, and his mind began to immerse himself in the state of cultivation. Just as he was about to fully enter the state of cultivation, a strange wave suddenly came from all around, breaking the tranquility.

Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes and looked around solemnly. He could feel that this fluctuation was not ordinary, not like any kind of spiritual energy or true essence fluctuation, but with a deep power, as if it came from another space.

"What is this...?" Lin Fan frowned slightly, his eyes sharp, instantly locking onto the void in the distance.

In the distant void, the originally peaceful air began to distort, as if some invisible force was tearing apart the barrier of reality, gradually revealing a vague figure. The figure seemed illusory and distant in the distorted light and shadow, as if it did not belong to this world, but it also carried an indescribable majesty and mystery.

Lin Fan's breathing became heavy, his fists clenched slightly, and his body subconsciously prepared for any possible changes. As the figure became clearer and clearer, his heartbeat accelerated.

"This... how is it possible?" Lin Fan was shocked. He recognized the gradually clearer figure - it was the mysterious old man who had given him the jade pendant in the small town.

The figure of the old man became clearer and clearer, and his steps were slow, as if every step contained endless power and wisdom. He had a faint smile on his face, which was gentle and calm, as if he knew everything in the world. His eyes were deep, with wisdom that could see through people's hearts, as if he could see every fluctuation in Lin Fan's heart.

Lin Fan's eyes gradually changed from shock to solemnity. He could feel the inexplicable power emanating from the old man. This power was neither like any fluctuation of true energy nor murderous, but it gave him a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

The old man approached slowly, his footsteps were light, but every step seemed to shake the world silently. Lin Fan stood there, staring at the old man intently, his doubts and vigilance gradually rising.

"Lin Fan, congratulations on passing the trial of the Holy Ruins." The old man's voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, with a distant majesty. Although his voice was calm, it seemed to contain the truth of the great way between heaven and earth, and instantly made Lin Fan feel an indescribable shock.

Lin Fan's heart was slightly moved. Although he had survived the thunder tribulation, the words of the old man in front of him seemed to contain a mystery, mentioning the "Trial of the Holy Ruins". He knew that there were countless secrets hidden in the Holy Ruins, and he himself had only just touched the surface of these secrets. The old man's words gave him an inexplicable premonition, as if what he had experienced was just the beginning of the entire trial.

"The Trial of the Holy Ruins?" Lin Fan asked doubtfully, staring at the old man. He felt that he was trapped in a deeper puzzle, and the situation before him seemed far more complicated than he had imagined.

The old man's words made Lin Fan's mind fall into turmoil again. He knew that he had just survived a thunder tribulation, but the old man actually called it "the trial of the holy ruins", which made him wonder if everything he had experienced had been arranged in advance. The old man seemed to know his cultivation process very well, and this unknown power made him feel deeply powerless and confused.

"Is what I've experienced just a part of the entire Saint Ruins?" This thought flashed through Lin Fan's mind, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes flashing with complex light. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, every level he encountered was full of tests and crises, and now, this mysterious old man appeared again, seemingly leading him to a new trial.

He looked at the old man, his heart full of questions, but before he could ask, the old man's figure became illusory again. The figure that was close at hand seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, blurred in an instant, and then disappeared into the void.

"Another phantom?" Lin Fan's eyes flashed with a complicated expression. The old man's appearance was full of weirdness and mystery. He couldn't be sure whether this was a real person or just some kind of phantom. But in any case, the information revealed by the old man undoubtedly pointed to a bigger secret.

The jade pendant on Lin Fan's chest vibrated slightly. Lin Fan looked down with a look of vigilance and confusion in his eyes. This jade pendant had been hanging quietly on his chest like an ordinary ornament, but now it seemed to have life, slowly flying up from his chest and gently floating in the air. A green light spread from the surface of the jade pendant, as if a clear spring flowed out of the jade pendant, soaking the entire space.

**"Jade pendant?"** Lin Fan's heart was shocked, and his eyes were filled with surprise. He hadn't figured out where the old man had gone, but the jade pendant had undergone such a mysterious change. The light continued to spread from the surface of the jade pendant, gradually becoming more intense, as if it carried some ancient and mysterious power.
