The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 136: Grand Gathering of the Cultivation World

The sky of the cultivation world was stained with brilliant rays of light. Thanks to the efforts of Yun Che and his companions, a magnificent altar rose from the ground in the central square. The altar was surrounded by shimmering runes, each one imbued with profound spiritual power and emitting alluring vibrations.

Yun Che stood on the altar's high platform, overlooking the busy cultivators around him, his heart filled with emotion. Since entering this brand new world of cultivation, they had experienced too many ups and downs, and now, they had finally arrived at a moment worth celebrating.

"Brother Yun Che, everything is ready. The event can begin." Xiao Yifeng walked to Yun Che's side, his face filled with excitement.

Yun Che nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and whispered a few words into the sound transmission talisman in his hand. A moment later, a melodious bell sound echoed throughout the entire cultivation world, announcing the official opening of the grand event.

Cultivators arrived from all directions, clad in various robes, clutching magical weapons, their faces brimming with anticipation and curiosity. Yun Che gazed at these cultivators, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He knew that this grand event wasn't just a celebration of the revival of the cultivation world, but also an inspiration and encouragement for the new generation of cultivators.

The first event of the grand event was a talent show. Monks took to the stage, showcasing their respective strengths and talents. Some excelled in alchemy, creating a variety of precious elixirs on the spot, drawing astonishment from the audience. Others were masters of formations, creating enigmatic and breathtaking formations. Still others excelled in music, producing melodies like the sounds of nature, bringing peace and joy to the soul.

Yun Che and his companions joined in. They formed a small team and unleashed a stunningly powerful combined attack. Their figures flashed across the stage like ghosts, their magical weapons gleaming with dazzling light, and each attack was accompanied by a deafening roar. The audience watched intently, applauding and cheering for their brilliant performance.

However, just when Yun Che and the others thought their performance was impressive enough, a mysterious female cultivator took the stage. Dressed in white, she was as beautiful as a fairy descending from the earth. She held a guqin in her hands and gently plucked the strings. Suddenly, a melodious sound echoed across the square.

The sound of the zither seemed to possess a magical power, enchanting the cultivators present. Yun Che also felt his mind drawn to the music, as if he were in a dreamlike world. He secretly marveled at the extraordinary strength of this female cultivator.

At the end of the song, the female cultivator slowly stood up and smiled at the audience. Her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, filling the cultivators present with a sense of relief. Yun Che secretly wondered who this female cultivator was. What realm of power had she reached?

After the talent show, the event entered the challenge phase. The cultivators were free to choose their opponents to challenge, showcasing their strength and courage. Yun Che and his companions were eager to try, knowing this was a perfect opportunity to test their own abilities.

Yun Che chose Xiao Yifeng as his opponent. The two had fought side by side for years, forging a deep tacit understanding. However, during the challenge, they engaged in a relentless and fierce clash. Yun Che, sword in hand, darted around Xiao Yifeng like the wind, each strike aimed squarely at his vital points. Xiao Yifeng, sword in hand, used defense as offense, deftly neutralizing Yun Che's attacks.

The two exchanged blows, each one a close match. The audience watched intently, applauding and cheering for their brilliant performance. At this moment, Yun Che suddenly unleashed his ultimate skill—Sword Shadow Spectroscopy. His longsword instantly transformed into countless sword shadows, which charged towards Xiao Yifeng like a galaxy of stars.

Xiao Yifeng's expression changed slightly upon seeing this. He knew the power of this move well, and he dared not be careless. He quickly adjusted his body shape, moving faster and faster through the sword shadows, trying to find Yun Che's true form. However, Yun Che's sword shadows seemed endless, making it difficult for him to grasp them.

Just as Xiao Yifeng was about to fall into despair, he suddenly unleashed a martial art he had created—Wind Sweeping Clouds. His body suddenly expanded, sweeping over like a gust of wind, shattering Yun Che's sword shadows one after another. Yun Che, startled by this, quickly withdrew his attack and retreated.

The two exchanged a smile and each put away their weapons. Although this challenge ended in a draw, they both learned a great deal from each other. Yun Che knew that Xiao Yifeng's strength was no longer what it once was, and he would have to work even harder to catch up.

Just as the grand event was in full swing, a mysterious force suddenly appeared in the world of cultivation. Clad in black robes and wearing ferocious masks, they exuded a terrifying aura. Their arrival aroused the vigilance and anxiety of the cultivators present.

The mysterious leader walked up to Yun Che and said coldly, "Yun Che, I heard you were hosting a grand event, so we came here to join in the fun."

Yun Che looked at the leader of this mysterious force and felt a sense of foreboding. He knew that the emergence of these mysterious forces was no accident and that they must have ulterior motives.

“Yun Che is deeply honored that you have come from such afar. However, in our world of cultivation, harmony has always been valued. I wonder what you may be able to do for me?” Yun Che said with forced composure.

The mysterious leader sneered and said, "We have only one purpose for this trip, and that is to seize control of the world of cultivation. You are weak and simply cannot control the world of cultivation. You'd better hand over control obediently, or we won't take action."

Yun Che's heart burned with rage upon hearing this. He knew that these mysterious forces must have set their sights on the resources and potential of the cultivation world, which was why they were so brazenly provoking him. He absolutely could not let these mysterious forces succeed.

“Humph, you guys think you can seize control of the cultivation world? That’s wishful thinking!” Yun Che shouted angrily.

Seeing this, the mysterious leader stopped talking. With a wave of his hand, the black-robed monks behind him drew their weapons and charged at the monks present. A sudden battle erupted in the square.

Yun Che and his companions quickly formed a team to fight against the attack of the mysterious force. They displayed their unique skills and launched a fierce battle with the black-robed monks.

Yun Che, sword in hand, weaved through the black-robed monks like the wind. His swordsmanship was fierce and swift, each strike accompanied by a dazzling sword beam. The black-robed monks retreated under his sword, not daring to engage him head-on.

However, the mysterious leader was no ordinary man. His form was strange and his speed was swift, darting across the battlefield like a dark shadow. His attacks were as elusive as ghosts, leaving Yun Che and the others unable to defend themselves.

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng suddenly unleashed a martial art of his own creation—Wind and Cloud Transformation. His body suddenly expanded, sweeping over like a gust of wind, engulfing the mysterious leader. Yun Che, observing this, seized the opportunity to unleash his ultimate skill—Sword Shadow Spectroscopy. Countless sword shadows, like countless stars, descended upon the mysterious leader, enveloping him in a halo of shadows.

The mysterious leader's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He knew the power of this move well, and he dared not be careless. He quickly adjusted his form, attempting to break free from the sword shadows. However, Yun Che's sword shadows seemed endless, making it difficult for him to grasp them.

At that moment, a clear, sharp sword sound suddenly rang out. A dazzling sword beam pierced through the air, striking the mysterious leader's vital points. Unable to dodge, the mysterious leader was struck by the sword beam, his form stagnating and his breath weakening.

Yun Che was overjoyed upon seeing this. He seized the opportunity to unleash his ultimate move—Sword Breaking the Sky. His longsword instantly transformed into a massive sword shadow, hurling itself towards the mysterious leader like a meteor across the sky. Unable to dodge, the mysterious leader was struck by the sword shadow, his form instantly dissipating into a puff of black smoke.

With the fall of the mysterious leader, the black-robed monks were also defeated. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, they dared not fight any longer. Yun Che and his companions seized the opportunity to pursue and capture all the black-robed monks in one fell swoop.

With the destruction of the mysterious force, the grand event also came to an end. The monks expressed their congratulations and gratitude to Yun Che and his companions. They knew that if it were not for Yun Che and his companions' heroic resistance, they would have long since become puppets of the mysterious force.

Yun Che stood on the altar's high platform, gazing at the celebrating cultivators around him, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that this grand event wasn't just a celebration of the cultivation world's revival, but also an inspiration and encouragement for the new generation of cultivators. They must cultivate even harder to gain a foothold in this world of cultivation, filled with both opportunities and challenges.

“Brother Yun Che, this event was truly thrilling. If you hadn’t intervened in time, I’m afraid none of us would have survived.” Xiao Yifeng walked up to Yun Che and said with emotion.

Yun Che smiled faintly and said, "This is also part of our training. Only by experiencing the baptism of life and death and battle can we become stronger."

At this moment, a female cultivator in white slowly walked up to Yun Che. She was the mysterious female cultivator who had played the guqin earlier. She looked at Yun Che, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

“Yun Che, your strength is indeed extraordinary. I thought I was strong enough, but compared to you, I am still inferior.” said the female cultivator.

Yun Che was secretly surprised when he heard this. He hadn't expected this female cultivator to be so frank in her evaluation of him. He smiled and said, "Young lady, you're too kind. I was just lucky. However, I believe we both have greater potential waiting to be tapped."

The nun smiled slightly and said, "You are right. We all have greater potential waiting to be tapped. However, before that, we need to practice even harder."

Yun Che nodded in agreement. He knew that the path of cultivation was endless, and they had to remain vigilant and diligent at all times to gain a foothold in this world of cultivation, filled with unknowns and dangers.

With the grand event coming to an end, Yun Che and his companions also began a new journey. They knew that this was just the starting point of the road of cultivation, and there were even more difficult challenges waiting for them ahead.

During his training, Yun Che constantly broke through his own limits and challenged higher realms. He experienced countless baptisms of life and death and battles, and gradually grew into a true strong man.
