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

Chapter 251: Secret Realm, Power Awakening

Yun Che and Xiao Yifeng stood at the entrance to the ancient ruins. Before them lay a ruin eroded by time. The ancient stone walls were covered in mottled runes, as if telling of the glory and vicissitudes of ancient times. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, illuminating the ruins, bringing a touch of life to this dead place.

"Is there truly a powerful force and cultivation resources hidden here?" Yun Che looked ahead, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and anticipation. He took a deep breath, feeling the ancient aura that permeated the air, and an inexplicable excitement welled up in his heart.

"Yun Che, stop being dazed! Let's go in!" Xiao Yifeng urged impatiently, his eyes also burning with a desire for power. The two smiled at each other and stepped into the gate of the ruins without hesitation.

As they entered the ruins, a strong sense of historical vicissitudes hit them. The surroundings were dim, with only a faint light filtering through the cracks above their heads. They moved forward cautiously, fearing that they might trigger any mechanism.

"It's so quiet here, so quiet that it makes me feel creepy." Xiao Yifeng said in a low voice. His voice echoed in the empty ruins, adding a sense of eeriness.

Yun Che nodded, gripping the longsword tightly in his hand as he observed his surroundings warily. Suddenly, a breeze blew, gently stirring the dust in the ruins, as if something was secretly watching them.

"Be careful!" Yun Che turned abruptly, unsheathing his longsword, the tip of the sword pointing straight behind him. However, when he turned around, he found nothing.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yifeng asked nervously.

"It's okay, maybe I'm just too sensitive." Yun Che put away his sword, but his vigilance remained undiminished. They continued forward, passing through winding corridors, and finally arrived at a spacious hall.

In the center of the hall stood an ancient altar, intricately carved with runes and emitting a faint fluorescent glow. Surrounding the altar lay several ancient weapons, each emanating a captivating aura, as if possessing its own soul.

"This should be the core of the ruins." Yun Che looked at the altar, his eyes gleaming with determination. He slowly walked towards the altar and reached out to touch the runes. A powerful force radiated from his fingertips, shaking his entire body.

“Yun Che, be careful.” Xiao Yifeng stood aside, nervously watching Yun Che’s every move.

Yun Che nodded, closing his eyes and feeling the flow of this power. Suddenly, the runes on the altar began to flicker, the light growing brighter and brighter, eventually converging into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.

At this moment, an old voice sounded in Yun Che's mind: "Young man, you are finally here."

Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, but he saw nothing. He was shocked. Could it be that he had misheard?

"Don't look for me anymore. I'm in your heart." The voice rang out again, this time even clearer. Yun Che took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Yun Che asked.

"I was a powerful man from ancient times, and I fell in a great war. My soul is sealed in this altar, waiting for the arrival of the destined person." The voice said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che felt a surge of respect in his heart. He looked towards the altar and said respectfully, "Senior, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Child, you have a pure heart and a firm will, and you are exactly the person I am looking for. I am willing to pass on my lifelong cultivation and insights to you and help you embark on the path of cultivation." The voice said expectantly.

Yun Che was overwhelmed with emotion upon hearing this. He knelt before the altar and kowtowed three times respectfully, expressing his acceptance of this inheritance.

At this moment, the runes on the altar began to spin wildly, and a powerful force surged from the altar, pouring into Yun Che's body. Yun Che felt his whole body heat up, as if countless forces were surging in his body, making him feel excruciating pain.

“Hold on, child! This is a process of transformation. Only by going through pain can you gain a new life!” That voice rang out in Yun Che’s mind, bringing him firm faith.

Yun Che gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. His body began to tremble, veins bulging as if about to burst. However, the faith in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He knew he couldn't give up.

Finally, just as Yun Che was on the verge of collapse, that power suddenly gathered and flowed into his Dantian. Yun Che felt his entire body lighten, as if he had been reborn. He opened his eyes, and they shone with a dazzling light.

"Congratulations, child! You have successfully accepted my inheritance." The voice said with satisfaction.

Yun Che stood up, feeling the powerful force surging within him, his heart filled with joy and gratitude. He looked at the altar and said respectfully, "Senior, thank you for your gift! I will definitely practice diligently and live up to your expectations!"

At this moment, the runes on the altar began to dissipate, eventually dissolving into nothingness. Yun Che knew that the ancient powerhouse had completed his mission and vanished into the long river of history.

He turned around and looked at Xiao Yifeng, a bright smile on his face. Xiao Yifeng was amazed at the changes in Yun Che. He patted Yun Che on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Yun Che! You have taken the first step on the road to cultivation!"

Yun Che nodded. He reached out and grasped the longsword, feeling it grow much lighter, as if it had become one with him. He smiled faintly and swung his sword towards the stone wall beside him. The sword flashed like lightning, and the stone wall cracked in response.

"What a wonderful sword!" Yun Che exclaimed in praise. He sheathed his sword and continued to explore the ruins with Xiao Yifeng.

They passed through corridor after corridor and arrived at a vast treasury. The door to the treasury was tightly closed, inscribed with complex runes and mechanisms. Yun Che gazed at the door, a strong desire welling up in his heart. He knew that countless treasures and secret manuals must be hidden here.

He reached out and gently touched the runes on the gate. Suddenly, a strong electric current trembled through his body. He quickly withdrew his hand, secretly thanking himself for withdrawing in time. Otherwise, he would have been injured by the current.

"It seems there are a lot of traps here." Xiao Yifeng looked at the gate with a frown.

Yun Che nodded. He carefully observed the runes and mechanisms on the gate, trying to find a way to break them. However, these runes and mechanisms were too complex, and he had difficulty finding a breakthrough.

At that moment, a thought suddenly struck him. He closed his eyes, feeling the power surge within him. Suddenly, he opened them and extended his right hand, palm facing upward. A powerful force surged from his palm, transforming into a beam of light that shot straight towards the runes on the gate.

With a loud "boom!", the runes on the gate began to dissipate, and the mechanism was disarmed. The gate slowly opened, revealing the interior of the treasure house.

Yun Che and Xiao Yifeng exchanged a smile. They eagerly entered the treasury. Inside, they saw piles of gold, silver, treasures, rare medicinal herbs, and various secret manuals. Their eyes gleamed with greed as they gazed upon these treasures.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Xiao Yifeng shouted excitedly. He reached out and grabbed a handful of gold coins, a satisfied smile on his face.

Yun Che, however, was not so excited. As he gazed at these treasures, an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that while these treasures were precious, what truly mattered was his own strength and cultivation. Only with a strong power could he protect himself and his friends, and gain a foothold in this world of cultivation.

He walked over to a pile of secret manuals and carefully flipped through them. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to an ancient manual. He picked it up and saw the words "Nine Heavens Divine Secret" written on the cover. With an idea in mind, he opened the manual and saw a powerful cultivation method recorded inside.

"Xiao Yifeng, what do you think of this secret book?" Yun Che walked up to Xiao Yifeng with the secret book and asked.

Xiao Yifeng took the manual and flipped through it carefully. He raised his head and looked at Yun Che, his eyes gleaming with surprise. "This manual is incredible! If we can successfully cultivate it, our strength will definitely increase greatly!"

Yun Che nodded, having already made up his mind. He placed the manual in his arms and said, "This manual will now belong to me. Don't worry, once I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely teach you some powerful techniques."

Xiao Yifeng was deeply moved upon hearing this. He patted Yun Che on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Yun Che, you're so kind! I, Xiao Yifeng, am truly blessed to have you as a friend!"

The two smiled at each other and continued to explore the treasure house. They picked up some precious medicinal herbs and secret manuals, and then left the treasure house.

By the time they exited the ruins, the sun had already set. Standing at the entrance, they gazed upon the ruins, a strange feeling welling up in their hearts. They knew this was the place where an ancient warrior had fallen, and it was also the starting point of their journey to cultivation.

“Yun Che, what should we do next?” Xiao Yifeng looked at Yun Che and asked.

Yun Che thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to practice first. Only when our strength improves can we better protect ourselves and our friends."

Xiao Yifeng nodded. He looked at Yun Che, his eyes gleaming with determination. He knew that Yun Che was no longer the inexperienced young man. He already had his own beliefs and goals, and had embarked on the path of cultivation.

The two found a quiet valley and began to cultivate. Yun Che took out the "Nine Heavens Divine Art" and studied it carefully. He followed the methods in the secret book and began to cultivate. A faint light surged around his body, as if he had merged with the heaven and earth.

Xiao Yifeng watched Yun Che's cultivation state, secretly admiring him. He knew that Yun Che possessed a determined heart and unyielding perseverance. As long as he was given enough time and resources, he would definitely become a powerful cultivator.

Time slipped by unnoticed. In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed. Yun Che finally awoke from his training. He opened his eyes, a dazzling light gleaming in them. He stood up and swung his sword at a nearby tree. The sword flashed like lightning, and the tree fell to the ground.

"Great! I finally succeeded in my cultivation!" Yun Che shouted excitedly. He felt the powerful force surging within him, and his heart was filled with joy and pride.

Xiao Yifeng watched Yun Che's transformation and felt happy for him. He patted Yun Che on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Yun Che! You have become a true cultivator!"

Yun Che nodded. He looked at Xiao Yifeng, his eyes gleaming with determination. “Xiao Yifeng, from now on, we must practice even harder! Only when our strength increases can we better protect ourselves and our friends!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifeng was deeply moved. He tightly grasped Yun Che's hand and said, "Yun Che, don't worry! I will always be by your side. Let's cultivate together and become the most powerful cultivators in the world!"
