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

Chapter 253: Past life memories, fragments emerge

The mountains were rolling, shrouded in clouds and mist. Hei Pao and Yun Che stood side by side on a secluded mountaintop, surrounded by lush forests. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, making them whisper.

“Yun Che, the path of cultivation is all about character and perseverance. Today, I will teach you a set of high-level cultivation methods—the ‘Nine Transformations of the Stars’.” The black-robed man’s voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to contain endless mysteries.

Yun Che's eyes were firm as he nodded respectfully, "Disciple will definitely practice diligently and live up to Master's high expectations."

The black-robed man smiled faintly, raised his finger, and a brilliant light burst out from his fingertips, transforming into an ancient jade slip that slowly fell into Yun Che's hands. Complex runes flowed on the jade slip, emitting a faint light and revealing an extraordinary aura.

"This secret technique is divided into nine turns, and each turn requires character, perseverance and opportunity. When practicing, you must focus on it without distraction, so that you can understand the true meaning of it." The black robe instructed.

Yun Che gripped the jade slip tightly, his heart surging with an unprecedented surge of excitement and determination. He sat cross-legged, immersing his mind in the jade slip, and began to carefully comprehend the mysteries of the 'Nine Transformations of the Stars'.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed. During this time, Yun Che's cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Not only had he mastered the first three stages of the Nine-Transformation Star Art, but under the guidance of the black-robed man, he had also learned how to flexibly utilize spiritual energy for both combat and defense.

One day, Heipao brought Yun Che to a precipitous valley. The valley was surrounded by steep cliffs, but in the middle was an open plain. The air was filled with a faint, murderous aura.

“Yun Che, on the path of cultivation, actual combat is the best way to improve your cultivation. Today, I will spar with you to see how you progress.” The black-robed man spoke with a hint of anticipation.

Yun Che's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this. He knew that sparring with the black-robed man would be a perfect opportunity to test his own strength.

The battle was about to begin. The black-robed figure was as elusive as a ghost, and each move contained endless power. Yun Che, relying on his profound knowledge of the 'Nine Transformations of the Stars' and the combat techniques taught by the black-robed figure, fought the black-robed figure to a standstill.

As the battle deepened, Yun Che gradually found his own rhythm. The spiritual energy in his body surged, as if the power of the stars were gathered in him, and every attack carried the power to destroy the world.

However, just as Yun Che was about to launch a fatal attack, the man in black robe suddenly withdrew his hand, his figure flashed, and he retreated from the battle circle.

"Yes, your progress has exceeded my expectations." The man in black robe nodded approvingly, a hint of relief in his eyes.

Yun Che stood up after finishing his training, breathing slightly, but a satisfied smile spread across his face. He knew that all of his achievements were inseparable from the careful guidance of the black-robed man.

However, the road to cultivation is not always smooth. Just as Yun Che's cultivation was improving day by day, a sudden crisis quietly descended.

One day, Yun Che, under the orders of Black Robe, traveled to an ancient ruin to seek opportunities. Within the ruins, there were countless treasures, but also hidden dangers.

Yun Che entered the ruins, surrounded by towering ancient trees and stone walls covered in ancient runes, gleaming with a faint light. He moved forward cautiously, fearing to trigger any mechanism.

However, just as he was about to approach a treasure cave, he heard hurried footsteps in the distance. Then, a group of enemies in black robes with ferocious smiles appeared in his sight.

These people were powerful and had gloomy auras, clearly disciples of some evil sect. As soon as they saw Yun Che, they immediately surrounded him, their eyes gleaming with greed and murderous intent.

"Boy, hand over the treasures on your body and I will spare your life!" said the leading man in black robe with a sneer.

Yun Che's eyes glared, his spiritual energy surging as he prepared for battle. He knew these enemies were no pushovers, and a clash of swords would be a life-or-death struggle.

“Humph, you think you can snatch my treasure?” Yun Che snorted coldly, and suddenly jumped up, rushing towards the enemy like a flash of lightning.

The battle broke out instantly. Yun Che used all his skills to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy. However, these enemies were powerful, ruthless, and numerous, and Yun Che gradually fell into a difficult battle.

He was knocked down time and time again, only to struggle to get up again and again. The wounds on his body grew more and more, and his spiritual power was depleted faster and faster. But he never gave up his will to fight, because he knew that once he fell, it meant death.

Just as Yun Che was about to lose all his strength, a familiar voice echoed in his mind: "Yun Che, remember, no matter how great the difficulties are, you must not give up. You have endless star power in your heart. As long as you are willing to tap into it, nothing can stop you from moving forward."

This was the black-robed man's voice, like a bright light in the darkness, illuminating Yun Che's confused mind. He took a deep breath, as if a new strength surged from the depths of his heart.

Yun Che's eyes became firm and cold. He no longer feared the enemy before him, but instead poured his entire mind and heart into the battle. The spiritual energy within him seemed to have been ignited, erupting with unprecedented power.

His body was as swift as lightning, his fists like thunder, and each attack carried the power of the stars, crushing the enemies one by one. In the end, amidst the bloody storm, Yun Che relied on his tenacious will and indomitable spirit to successfully repel all the enemies.

However, the victory in the battle did not bring Yun Che any relief. He collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, his heart filled with exhaustion and powerlessness. He realized that the path of cultivation was far more difficult and cruel than he had imagined.

At this moment, a severe headache suddenly struck Yun Che, nearly causing him to faint. He held his head in his hands, groaning in pain, as if countless fragments were churning and colliding in his mind.

As his headache intensified, fragments of Yun Che's past life memories began to surface. He saw his past glory and defeat, and those scenes flashed through his mind like a movie. He felt the deep-seated persistence and unwillingness, as well as the endless desire for power.

“Who…who am I?” Yun Che muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"You are Yun Che, and also... another you." A vague and distant voice sounded in his heart, as if it came from the other side of time and space.

An inexplicable throbbing surged within Yun Che's heart. He began to diligently recall those fragments of memory, attempting to piece together his past life's identity and experiences. However, those memories were like fragments in a fog, appearing and disappearing, elusive.

At this moment, a warm power suddenly surged into his body, soothing his restless soul. It was the aura of the black robe, guarding him like a kind father.

“Yun Che, don’t force yourself. The memories of your past life may not be enough for you to bear right now. What’s more important is that you cherish the present and seize the moment.” The black-robed man’s voice echoed in Yun Che’s heart, nourishing his soul like a gentle spring breeze.

Yun Che took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He understood that what the black-robed man said was right. Regardless of his past life, what he had to do now was to cultivate diligently, improve his strength, and protect himself and those around him.

In the days that followed, Yun Che practiced the Nine-Transformation Star Art even more diligently, constantly exploring his own potential. His cultivation gradually reached a new height through day after day of practice.

However, he wasn't satisfied. He knew that a truly strong person possessed not only immense strength but also a resolute will and an indomitable spirit. So, he began to constantly challenge himself, never backing down in the face of all kinds of hardships and obstacles.

One day, Yun Che came to the ancient ruins again. This time, he was no longer alone, but brought with him the powerful martial arts and profound cultivation taught to him by the Black Robe.

He stepped into the depths of the ruins, only to find total silence, as if even time had stood still. He moved forward cautiously, his heart filled with vigilance.

Suddenly, a deep roar echoed from the depths of the ruins, shaking the entire space as if it were trembling. Yun Che's heart tightened, knowing that the true test was about to begin.

He quickened his pace, heading in the direction of the sound. Before long, he arrived at a massive cave. In the center of the cave, a massive demonic beast lay entrenched, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

This demon beast was powerful and possessed a terrifying aura, clearly a formidable foe. However, Yun Che did not retreat. Instead, he bravely stepped forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the demon beast.

The battle was incredibly brutal. Yun Che, relying on his immense strength and unwavering will, fought the demon beast to a standstill. He poured his full might into every attack, and every defense was flawless.

Finally, during a fierce exchange, Yun Che found the monster's weakness and landed a powerful punch on its head. With a deafening roar, the monster's massive body collapsed, its breath gone.

Yun Che collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. He gazed at the demonic beast he had defeated, and an unprecedented sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart. He knew he had finally taken the crucial step toward becoming a truly powerful being.

However, just as he was about to leave the ruins, a mysterious light suddenly burst forth from the depths, enveloping him completely. Yun Che felt his vision go dark before he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space. It was pitch black, lit only by countless bright stars. He felt as if he were in a sea of ​​stars, small and alone.

At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared before him. The man was dressed in a gorgeous black robe, with an extraordinary handsome face and a deep light in his eyes.

“You… who are you?” Yun Che asked in surprise.

"I am your previous life." The man said with a smile, his voice full of vicissitudes and emotion.

Yun Che felt an inexplicable shock surge in his heart upon hearing this. He began to carefully examine the person before him, trying to find traces of his past life in him.

"You were once a cultivator. But your path was full of ups and downs. You went through countless hardships and tests before finally reaching where you are today." The man continued.

Yun Che listened quietly, his heart filled with emotion and awe. He gradually began to understand why he possessed such a resolute will and unyielding spirit. It turned out that all of this stemmed from the trials and tribulations of his past lives.

“So, what kind of person was I in my previous life?” Yun Che asked curiously.

The man smiled faintly and said, "In your previous life, you were a true hero. You sacrificed everything you had to protect this continent. Your courage and wisdom earned you the admiration of countless people."
