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

Chapter 204: A Space Full of Trap

Night fell, and the stars, like tiny diamonds, were inlaid in the deep sky, twinkling with a cold and distant light. A bonfire burned brightly in the open grassland, its light reflected on the faces of Yun Che and the black-robed old man, illuminating their focused and profound eyes.

“Yun Che, do you know why I chose to travel with you?” the black-robed old man asked softly, a barely perceptible hint of emotion in his voice.

Yun Che was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because we both have similar goals, or perhaps, you think I'm trustworthy?"

The black-robed elder smiled faintly and shook his head. "These are just superficial reasons. What truly made me decide to join you is your tenacity and perseverance. In this world where the strong are respected, your growth from an unknown boy to where you are today is truly remarkable."

A warm feeling welled up in Yun Che's heart. He knew full well that his journey to this point was inseparable from countless hardships and perseverance. He looked at the black-robed elder with gratitude, "Thank you for your recognition. In fact, I have also been searching for ways to make myself stronger, in order to protect the people I care about."

The black-robed elder nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes. "Very good. With such determination, your future path will surely be extraordinary. However, the upcoming journey to the secret realm will be a major test for you."

Yun Che's expression was resolute: "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will go all out."

As the two were talking, a slight tremor suddenly emanated from the distant stone wall. Then, the wall slowly opened, revealing a deep passage. The passage was pitch black, as if swallowing up all light and sound.

Yun Che and the black-robed old man exchanged a glance, then stepped in without hesitation. As they went deeper, the traps within the passage gradually became apparent. Sharp blades, spurting flames, rolling boulders... all sorts of dangers followed one after another.

Yun Che relied on his keen perception and agile skills to escape danger time and time again. The black-robed old man, with his profound cultivation and rich experience, guided Yun Che through the maze, helping him to solve one seemingly unsolvable mechanism after another.

"Be careful!" the old man in black robe suddenly shouted.

Yun Che stopped immediately upon hearing the sound, only to see the ground ahead covered in dense silver needles. These needles gleamed coldly in the dim light, and if stepped on, the consequences would be disastrous.

Yun Che took a deep breath and carefully observed the layout of the silver needles. He discovered that these needles seemed chaotic, but in fact, they contained a hidden pattern. A thought flashed through his mind, and he thought of a way to break the spell.

He took a cautious step forward, cleverly avoiding the silver needle trap. Then, he turned to the black-robed old man and said, "Senior, please follow me. I will lead the way for you."

The black-robed old man smiled faintly and nodded. He believed in Yun Che's judgment and wisdom, and believed that they could overcome this difficulty together.

Under Yun Che's leadership, they successfully passed through the silver needle trap. However, the traps ahead became increasingly complex and dangerous. Every time they cracked a trap, they expended a great deal of energy and time.

Yun Che couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew that the longer they delayed, the greater the risk they faced. He had to find a way to crack the mechanism as soon as possible and move on.

Just then, they came to a foggy clearing. A massive stone tablet stood in the clearing, engraved with ancient runes. These runes were obscure and difficult to understand, as if they contained some mysterious power.

Yun Che stared at the runes on the stone tablet, a strong intuition welling up in his heart. He seemed to be able to sense the mysteries hidden behind these runes. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let his mind resonate with these runes.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, a determined light flashing in them. He pointed to a rune on the stone tablet and said, "Senior, this rune is the key. If we can decipher it, we can pass through this fog."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder carefully examined the rune. He nodded, agreeing with Yun Che's opinion. The two of them worked together to decipher the rune.

After much effort, they finally deciphered the rune. As the rune disappeared, the fog gradually dissipated, and a passage leading to the depths appeared before them.

Yun Che and the black-robed old man exchanged a smile before continuing on their journey. They knew that more challenges awaited them ahead. But no matter how difficult it was, they would work together to face the storms of the future.

Deep within the tunnel, there were numerous traps. With their wisdom and courage, they cracked each one. Every time they cracked a trap, their trust in each other grew, and their relationship grew closer.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the front. Startled, they hurried their pace. When they arrived at the source of the sound, they saw a huge stone gate blocking their way.

The stone gate was engraved with ferocious patterns, resembling some ferocious beast. These patterns appeared particularly eerie in the dim light. Yun Che stared at the stone gate, a strong sense of unease welling up in his heart.

He turned to look at the old man in black robes: "Senior, how do we break through this stone door?"

The black-robed old man frowned as he carefully examined the patterns on the stone door. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "These patterns appear to represent an ancient sealing technique. To break it, we need to find the seal's weakness."

Yun Che nodded and began to carefully study the patterns on the stone door. He tried to find some clues from the patterns, but they were too complex and difficult for him to grasp at the moment.

At this moment, the black-robed old man suddenly shouted, "Yun Che, look here!"

Yun Che looked over at the sound and saw the black-robed old man pointing at an inconspicuous corner of the stone gate. He took a closer look and realized that the pattern in that corner was different from the other patterns. This pattern seemed simpler and clearer.

Yun Che's heart stirred, and he understood what the black-robed old man meant. He walked to the stone gate, formed seals with his hands, and injected his own power into the pattern in the corner.

As he poured his power into it, the pattern in that corner began to glow. Immediately afterwards, the entire stone gate began to vibrate. Yun Che's heart was filled with joy, knowing that he had found the right method.

He continued to increase his strength, and the pattern on the stone door gradually dissipated, revealing a passage leading deeper into the cave. Yun Che and the black-robed old man smiled at each other and stepped inside.

However, as soon as they entered the passage, they encountered strong resistance. An invisible force surged from all directions, trying to squeeze them out. Yun Che and the black-robed old man both felt the immense pressure, and their expressions grew solemn.

“What kind of power is this?” Yun Che exclaimed.

The black-robed old man frowned, carefully sensing the force. He said in a deep voice, "This is a sealing force. It seems we have triggered the seal here."

Yun Che's heart sank. He knew that the power of a seal was often incredibly strong, and breaking it was no easy task. But he also understood that it was too late to retreat now. They could only bite the bullet and continue forward.

With tenacious perseverance and unwavering faith, they pushed forward step by step. Every step forward felt like a fight against death. But no matter how difficult it was, they never gave up.

Finally, they reached the end of the passage. A huge curtain of light appeared before them, gleaming with dazzling light. It seemed like a natural barrier, separating them from the depths of the secret realm.

Yun Che stared at the light curtain, a strong urge welling up in his heart. He wanted to rush through and uncover the secret behind this light curtain. But he also knew that this light curtain was not easy to break. He had to find a way to break it before he could pass through smoothly.

He turned to look at the old man in black robes: "Senior, do you have a way to break this light curtain?"

The black-robed elder frowned, examining the light curtain carefully. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "This light curtain appears to be composed of a unique energy. To break it, we need to find an energy that counteracts it."

Yun Che nodded and began to think about how to find this counteracting energy. He recalled the knowledge he had learned during his cultivation, trying to find some clues.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him. He remembered a special technique he had practiced before, which could produce a special kind of energy fluctuation, which was somewhat similar to the energy fluctuation on this light curtain.

He suddenly decided to try this technique to break the light curtain. He walked over to the light curtain, formed hand seals, and began to practice the technique. As he practiced the technique, a special energy wave surged from his body, resonating with the energy wave on the light curtain.

Yun Che's heart throbbed with joy, knowing he had found the right method. He continued to increase his power, and saw the light on the light curtain gradually dissipate. A moment later, the light curtain completely disappeared, revealing a passage leading deep into the secret realm.

Yun Che and the black-robed old man smiled at each other and walked in. They knew that the real test lay ahead. Only by passing this test could they find what they wanted.

As they went deeper, the traps in the secret realm became more and more complex and dangerous. They had to stay alert at all times to avoid falling into traps.

Suddenly, a fierce fight erupted from the front. Yun Che and the black-robed old man were startled and quickly quickened their pace. When they arrived at the source of the noise, they saw a group of mysterious men in black robes besieging a young man.

The man was dressed in white, wielding a longsword. His swordplay was fierce and swift. Alone, he engaged a group of black-robed figures in a fierce battle. Yun Che and the black-robed elder could tell at a glance that this man was no ordinary warrior.

With a sudden thought, they decided to help. Yun Che flashed and charged into the battle circle. With his fierce punches and sharp perception, he repeatedly struck the black-robed man's vital points. The black-robed elder, in turn, unleashed powerful martial arts, repelling each of the black-robed men one by one.

With their help, the man in white gradually gained the upper hand. He looked at Yun Che and the black-robed old man with gratitude: "Thank you both for your help."

Yun Che smiled and shook his head: "It's just a small favor. May I know your name?"

The man in white clasped his fists and said, "My name is Lin Yifeng, and I'm a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect."

Yun Che's heart was moved when he heard this. The Xiaoyao Sword Sect was renowned throughout the continent, and its swordsmanship was incredibly powerful. He had never expected to encounter a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect here.

The three of them worked together to defeat the black-robed men one by one. Seeing the situation was not good, the black-robed men fled. Lin Yifeng looked at the black-robed men's retreating figures, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“What are the origins of these black-robed men?” Yun Che asked curiously.

Lin Yifeng said in a deep voice, "They are disciples of the Dark Temple. The Dark Temple is an evil organization that commits all kinds of evil. I came to the secret realm this time to find a treasure that can restrain the Dark Temple."

Yun Che was startled when he heard this. He had never expected that he would actually meet
