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

Chapter 168: Return and Glory

At the edge of the cultivation world, a sea of ​​clouds billowed, a radiant glow radiating from the sky. Yun Che and the others were on their way back, each one of them sporting a tired yet satisfied smile. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but their eyes gleamed with determination and pride.

"This journey was really thrilling." Xiao Yifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.

Yun Che smiled faintly, his eyes deep, “Yes, but our efforts are worth it. We have finally brought the inheritance treasure back to the world of cultivation. This is our honor.”

A thought struck him, and he immediately adjusted his breathing and mindset. After continuous battles, Yun Che's state of mind had undergone a profound change. He no longer pursued the splendor and dominance of his sword moves, but instead began to comprehend the sword's meaning with his heart. Every time he swung his sword, he felt as if he were in dialogue with it, sensing its soul and power.

Just as they were about to step into the world of cultivation, a dark figure appeared silently in front of them. It was a mysterious man in a black robe, his eyes hollow and deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Do you think you can return safely by bringing back the inheritance treasure? You are too naive." The man in black robe sneered, his voice full of ridicule and disdain.

Yun Che and the others immediately became alert. They knew that this black-robed man was definitely not a good person.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Xiao Yifeng asked sternly.

The black-robed man didn't answer, but slowly raised his hand, and a powerful magical energy instantly spread out. Yun Che and the others felt an invisible pressure coming towards them, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"This is a test of your inner demon. If you can't pass it, you will never be able to enter the world of cultivation." The man in black robe said coldly.

Yun Che took a deep breath. He knew this was a test of his heart and will. He closed his eyes and began to feel everything around him with his heart.

A strong sense of crisis surged within Yun Che, but he didn't flinch. He understood that a truly powerful person possessed not only immense strength, but also a resolute will and an unyielding spirit. He recalled the hardships and tribulations he had endured along the way, the resurgence after each fall, the perseverance he'd endured despite every failure. These memories were like a warm current, warming his heart and strengthening his convictions.

Countless images suddenly surfaced in Yun Che's mind. They were his past fears, hesitations, and confusions. Those images were like ferocious beasts, pouncing on him, trying to devour his will.

“Get out of my way!” Yun Che roared angrily. He swung the long sword in his hand, and the sword light was like a dragon, instantly shattering those images.

But those images seemed endless, emerging again and again. Yun Che's heart began to panic, and he felt that his will was being eroded bit by bit.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded beside his ears: "Yun Che, don't be afraid, believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to overcome this."

That was Xia Qingyue's voice. Her voice was like warm sunshine, piercing through the haze in his heart. A powerful force surged within Yun Che's heart. He swung his sword once more. This time, the sword light flashed like a rainbow, completely destroying those images.

Yun Che: "Qingyue, thank you. It's you who helped me find my inner strength."

(Inside her mind) Xia Qingyue: "Yun Che, you have always been very powerful, but sometimes you forget your original intention."

Yun Che: "You are right. I cannot be defeated by these illusory fears. I must continue to fight for our dreams and for the future of the cultivation world."

As Yun Che's heart grew stronger, his aura grew stronger and stronger. The black-robed man sensed this aura and a look of fear appeared on his face.

"Impossible! How could you defeat your inner demons so quickly?" the black-robed man cried out.

Yun Che sneered. He swung the longsword in his hand, and the sword flashed like lightning, piercing directly at the black-robed man. The black-robed man hurriedly dodged, but it was too late. The sword light passed by him, splitting his black robe in two.

The man in black robe let out a scream, his body began to blur, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

"Success!" Xiao Yifeng and others cheered. They knew that they had successfully passed the test of the inner demon.

At this moment, the sky of the cultivation world became unusually bright, with countless rays of light, as if cheering for their victory. Yun Che and the others stood at the entrance of the cultivation world, looking at this familiar land, their hearts filled with emotion.

Yun Che and his companions, carrying the inherited treasure, set out on their journey back to the world of cultivation. Their arrival caused a huge sensation, with countless cultivators rushing in from all directions just to catch a glimpse of them.

“Look! That’s Yun Che. He’s back with the inheritance treasure!”

"That's incredible! They actually managed to pass the inner demon's test!"

"They are the pride of our cultivation world!"

The monks cheered one after another. They cheered for the heroic deeds of Yun Che and others, and were proud of their return.

Yun Che and the others walked among the crowd, their faces filled with smiles of satisfaction and pride. They knew that all this glory belonged to them, and also to the entire cultivation world.

An old man walked up to Yun Che and said excitedly, "Yun Che, you have made great contributions to our cultivation world. You are our hero!"

Yun Che smiled modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior. This is the result of all of our joint efforts."

The old man shook his head. "No, your contribution is indelible. Not only did you bring back the treasure of inheritance, but more importantly, you showed us hope and the future of the cultivation world."

A warm current surged in Yun Che's heart. He felt the warmth and care from the cultivation world. He knew that all the efforts were worth it.

Yun Che and his companions brought the inheritance treasure back to the center of the cultivation world—the Holy Temple. The Holy Temple is the most sacred place in the cultivation world and the safest destination for the inheritance treasure.

Inside the temple, countless monks gathered to witness this historic moment. Yun Che and the others carefully placed the inheritance treasure in the center of the temple. It was a massive jade table engraved with mysterious runes.

As the inherited treasure was placed, a powerful wave of energy suddenly surged within the temple. The energy spread outward like ocean waves, causing the monks present to feel a surge of fear.

"Is this the power of the inherited treasure?" a young monk exclaimed.

Yun Che nodded. “Indeed, this is the power of the inherited treasure. It contains endless wisdom and strength. As long as we can use it correctly, the world of cultivation will surely become more prosperous and powerful.”

Yun Che's heart was filled with emotion and anticipation. He knew that the return of the inherited treasure would not only mean an increase in the strength of the cultivation world, but also the beginning of a new era. He looked forward to leading the cultivation world towards an even more glorious future in this new era.

To celebrate the return of Yun Che and the others and the placement of the inheritance treasure, the cultivation world held a grand celebration. At the celebration, the cultivators sang and danced, and laughter continued.

Yun Che and the others were invited to the center of the celebration, becoming the center of everyone's attention. Countless cultivators toasted them, expressing their respect and gratitude.

"Yun Che, you are amazing! You are our idol!" a young cultivator said excitedly.

Yun Che smiled and shook his head: "I just did what I should do. The real heroes are those who silently contribute to the world of cultivation."

His words resonated with the monks present, and they nodded in agreement.

An old man walked up to Yun Che and said with emotion, "Yun Che, you have grown up. Not only do you have great strength, but you also have a broad heart. You are the future of the cultivation world."

Yun Che smiled modestly, "Senior, you are too kind. I simply hope to make more contributions to the world of cultivation."

The old man patted his shoulder and said, "I believe you can do it. It is a blessing for the cultivation world to have young people like you."

After the celebration, Yun Che walked alone in the night. He gazed at the starry sky, his heart filled with emotion and thoughts. Along the way, he had endured countless hardships and trials, but he had persevered each time. He knew that all of this growth was inseparable from the support and help of those around him.

“Qingyue, Jasmine, Caizhi… and my master and fellow apprentices, thank you for always being by my side.” Yun Che said silently in his heart.

He closed his eyes and began to take in everything around him. He felt the warmth and care from the world of cultivation, and also felt the growth and changes in his own heart.

“I’m no longer that ignorant young boy.” Yun Che said in his heart, “I have new goals and dreams. I will continue to work hard for the future of the cultivation world.”

Just as Yun Che was lost in his thoughts, a sudden piece of news shattered his tranquility. It turned out that a powerful evil force had emerged on the outskirts of the cultivation world. They plundered resources and oppressed the people, plundering the world into chaos.

“It seems like a new challenge has arrived.” Yun Che muttered to himself.

He didn't feel scared or retreat, but instead felt a surge of excitement and anticipation. He knew this was his responsibility and mission as a member of the cultivation world.

Yun Che found Xiao Yifeng and others, and they discussed countermeasures together.

Yun Che: "We can't just sit back and watch. We must take action and eliminate this evil force."

Xiao Yifeng nodded: "That's right, we can't let their actions continue. Otherwise, the cultivation world will fall into an irretrievable situation."

Others also expressed their agreement. They decided to form a strong team together and go to the edge of the cultivation world to eliminate the evil force.

Before setting off, Yun Che and the others made thorough preparations. Not only did they improve their strength, they also developed a detailed battle plan. They knew it would be a tough battle, but they didn't back down.

“We must have confidence and believe that we can definitely defeat that evil force.” Yun Che said to everyone before setting off.

His words were filled with determination and strength, inspiring everyone present. They knew that as long as Yun Che was there, they had the confidence to overcome all difficulties.
