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

Chapter 213: Retreat and Practice

Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, dappling the hillside of Yunyin Peak. After returning to the cultivation world, Yun Che and the others didn't linger for long, but instead returned directly to their respective cultivation sites and began their secluded training.

Inside Yun Che's cave, the flickering candlelight illuminated his resolute face. He sat cross-legged, eyes closed, concentrating, the spiritual energy within him surging like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.

“This trip to the secret realm has yielded a lot. But if I want to transform these gains into real strength, I still need to practice hard.” Yun Che pondered in his heart, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in another cave not far away, Mu Yuqing was also diligently cultivating. Her figure was graceful, like a fairy, yet at this moment, she exuded a fierce aura, like a sword unsheathed.

“Yun Che, just wait. I, Mu Yuqing, will never be left behind by you forever!” Mu Yuqing gritted her teeth, forming seals with her hands. The spiritual energy in her body surged like a tide, constantly impacting her bottleneck in cultivation.

Elsewhere on Yunyin Peak, Mo Xuan stood on a cliff, gazing into the distance. His gaze was deep, as if he could penetrate the layers of clouds and mist and see even further.

"The experience in the secret realm has given me a deeper understanding of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. But to truly master these, more practice is needed." Mo Xuan muttered to himself, then turned around, walked into the cave, and began to practice in seclusion.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed quietly.

During this month, Yun Che and the others had been practicing in seclusion in their respective caves, integrating their gains from the secret realm into their own cultivation. Their strength was constantly improving, and they were well prepared for the challenges ahead.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Yun Che's cave was filled with spiritual energy, as if a volcano had erupted inside.

Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes, a dazzling light flashing in them. He stood up, feeling the surge of spiritual energy within his body, and a satisfied smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

“Finally, my cultivation has advanced to another level!” Yun Che muttered to himself, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the cave.

Yun Che appeared in the Yunyin Peak square. At this time, Mu Yuqing and Mo Xuan had also come out of seclusion and were standing there waiting for him.

“Yun Che, you’ve finally come out of seclusion!” Mu Yuqing’s face lit up with joy when she saw Yun Che.

"Well, after a month of seclusion, my cultivation has finally made some progress." Yun Che smiled and nodded, then looked at Mo Xuan, "What about you? Mo Xuan, how has your cultivation been going during this period?"

Mo Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I have gained something as well. However, compared to you, it's still a little behind."

Yun Che patted Mo Xuan's shoulder and said, "Don't say that. Everyone has their own pace. I believe you will catch up sooner or later."

The three of them smiled at each other, and then began to share their respective cultivation experiences.

"Yun Che, during my retreat, my understanding of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams has deepened. I think we can try to apply this knowledge to actual combat." Mo Xuan suddenly spoke, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Yun Che's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "What a great idea! I also want to test the results of my training during this period. How about we have a sparring match?"

Mu Yuqing looked expectant upon hearing this and said, "That's a good idea! I also want to see how much progress you've made during this period of time."

The three of them hit it off immediately, and then found an open space and started to practice.

Yun Che's figure flashed and appeared in front of Mo Xuan like a ghost. He punched out with a sharp punch that seemed to be able to tear through space.

Seeing this, Mo Xuan did not retreat but advanced, his hands quickly forming seals, and a Five Elements Bagua formation instantly condensed in front of him, blocking Yun Che's fist wind.

“Alright!” Yun Che shouted loudly, and retreated violently again. Then he waved his hands, and a stream of spiritual energy swept towards Mo Xuan like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Mo Xuan's eyes were solemn, and his hands quickly changed hand seals. The Five Elements Bagua formation diagram changed again, turning into a huge shield, blocking in front of him.

"boom!"

The streak of spiritual power hit the shield, making a deafening sound.

At this moment, Mu Yuqing also joined the battle. Her figure was light and graceful, like a swallow, she moved between the two of them, continuously launching fierce attacks.

Upon seeing this, Yun Che and Mo Xuan put aside their contempt and began to deal with it with all their might.

The three of them engaged in a fierce battle, their figures flickering in the air, each attack imbued with powerful spiritual energy, seemingly ripping the very world apart.

As time went on, the battle between the three became increasingly fierce. Yun Che's punches grew more powerful, Mo Xuan's Five Elements Bagua formation became more sophisticated, and Mu Yuqing's attacks were like a continuous drizzle, making it impossible to defend against them.

“Yun Che, be careful!” Mo Xuan suddenly shouted, forming seals with his hands. A huge pillar of Five Elements and Eight Diagrams light instantly rose from the ground and blasted towards Yun Che.

Yun Che retreated violently, narrowly avoiding the beam of light. But just as he regained his balance, Mu Yuqing's attack followed.

“Hmph!” Yun Che snorted coldly, the spiritual energy in his body surging. He waved his hands, and a spiritual power storm instantly condensed in front of him, blocking Mu Yuqing’s attack.

“Mo Xuan, come and try my new move!” Yun Che shouted, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Mo Xuan.

He formed seals with his hands, and a brilliant star power condensed in his palms, then turned into a stream of light and blasted towards Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Yun Che to actually master the power of the stars. He quickly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, transforming it into a shield, blocking him.

"boom!"

The power of the stars slammed into the shield, making a deafening noise. Mo Xuan felt a surge of force, and his body was involuntarily sent flying backwards.

“Such a powerful star power!” Mo Xuan steadied himself and looked at Yun Che, shock flickering in his eyes.

Yun Che smiled faintly and said, “This is the opportunity I gained in the secret realm. However, I didn’t expect it to be so powerful.”

After a fierce exchange, the three finally stopped fighting. They looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.

“Yun Che, your strength has improved a lot.” Mo Xuan looked at Yun Che and said sincerely.

“Same to you.” Yun Che smiled and nodded, “However, I feel that the gap between us is gradually narrowing.”

Mu Yuqing smiled upon hearing this and said, "Yes, we are all making progress. I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, we will stand at the top of this world sooner or later!"

The three of them smiled at each other and immediately began to exchange their respective cultivation experiences and combat experiences. They learned from each other, drawing on each other's strengths.

After the competition, the three began to discuss the next direction of cultivation.

"I think we can try to combine the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams with the power of the stars to create a new spell." Mo Xuan suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Yun Che's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "What a great idea! The power of the stars is vast and boundless. If we can combine it with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, it will definitely be able to unleash even greater power."

Mu Yuqing nodded and began to research: "I agree. Moreover, I think we can also try to integrate Qimen Dunjia into it. It will make our spells more unpredictable."

The three of them hit it off immediately. They kept trying, failing, and trying again, and finally found the dawn of success among repeated failures.

After months of hard training and research, Yun Che and his companions finally created a new spell—the Star Bagua Escape Technique.

This spell combines the power of the stars, the essence of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, and Qimen Dunjia. It can instantly change position in battle, avoid enemy attacks, and launch fierce counterattacks.

Yun Che and the others were very satisfied with this new spell. They believed that this spell would play a huge role in future battles.

Just when Yun Che and the others were achieving fruitful results in their cultivation, a piece of news suddenly came from the world of cultivation—a new secret realm was about to open!

This secret place is said to be an ancient relic, containing countless treasures and opportunities, but it is also filled with unknown dangers.

Upon hearing this news, Yun Che and the others' eyes sparkled with excitement. They knew this was a great opportunity for them to improve themselves.

So, they embarked on the journey to the new secret realm without hesitation.

In the new secret realm, Yun Che and his companions encountered unprecedented challenges. Not only did they have to face ferocious monsters and dangerous traps, but they also had to compete with other cultivators for opportunities.

But Yun Che and his companions did not retreat. Relying on their powerful strength and tacit cooperation, they overcame all obstacles and finally reached the deepest part of the secret realm.

Here, they discovered an ancient ruin that contained countless treasures and opportunities, but also concealed great dangers.

As soon as Yun Che and his companions entered the ruins, they were attacked by other cultivators. These people were all elite disciples from various sects and were very powerful.

But Yun Che and his companions were not afraid, and they launched a fierce battle. During the battle, they fully utilized the advantages of the Starry Sky Bagua Escape Technique, constantly weaving through and counterattacking the enemy's attacks.

After a fierce battle, Yun Che and his companions finally defeated the enemy and successfully entered the deepest part of the ruins.

In the deepest part of the ruins, Yun Che and his companions discovered an ancient altar. On the altar was placed a radiant treasure—an ancient artifact!

This artifact is said to possess the power to destroy the world and is a treasure left over from ancient times.

But just when Yun Che and the others were about to take away the artifact, the guardian beast of the ruins suddenly woke up!

This was a gigantic demonic beast, emitting a terrifying aura. It roared and pounced towards Yun Che and the others.
