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

Chapter 263: The Path to Immortality, Difficult Exploration

Yun Che's figure suddenly stopped in front of the entrance to the Demon Realm, a faint aura of immortal spirits surrounding him, the essence accumulated through years of cultivation. His gaze was as sharp as a torch, staring directly at the swirling demonic energy in front of him, but his mind was clear.

"Master!" The disciples' voices echoed from behind, tinged with anxiety and worry. Yun Che didn't turn around, but simply waved his hand gently, indicating that they didn't need to follow.

"As a teacher, I know what to do." His voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under control.

At the entrance to the Demon Realm, demonic energy surged, as if it was about to swallow the entire world in. Yun Che took a deep breath and moved again, like a stream of light, rushing into the endless darkness.

The Demon Lord sat high on his throne, demonic energy swirling around him, his blood-red eyes gleaming with cruelty and triumph. With a gentle wave of his hand, the magic mirror before him revealed Yun Che's figure charging into the Demon Realm.

"Hmph, a mere cultivator dares to challenge my authority." The Demon Lord sneered, his tone full of disdain.

However, at this moment, the image in the magic mirror suddenly distorted, and Yun Che's figure appeared and disappeared in the demonic energy, as if it had merged with the surrounding environment.

"Hmm?" The Demon Lord frowned, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart. He quickly stood up, forming hand seals with his hands. A powerful magical power surged from his body and blasted towards Yun Che in the magic mirror.

However, the magic power seemed to disappear without a trace, as if it had disappeared into the sea. Yun Che's figure continued to shuttle through the demonic energy, his speed increasing, as if he was completely unaffected by the demonic energy.

Yun Che was in the demonic realm, surrounded by surging demonic energy, yet he felt as if he were in a clear and bright world. He silently recited immortal techniques in his heart, and the immortal energy around him became increasingly rich, forming a light protective shield that blocked out the demonic energy that tried to erode his body.

He knew in his heart that his journey to the Demon Realm was not only to stop the invasion of the Demon Realm, but also to explore the higher realms of the Immortal Path. Only by constantly improving his own strength could he better protect the people around him and this land.

"Hmm? There's movement ahead." Yun Che's mind raced, and he suddenly accelerated, flying forward. After a while, he arrived at a place where the demonic energy was the most concentrated.

There, a group of monsters were besieging an old man in a black robe. The old man wielded a longsword, its light like a dragon, and engaged the monsters in a fierce battle. However, as time passed, the old man's breath grew weaker, and it was clear that he could not hold on for much longer.

"Senior, I'm here to help you!" Yun Che shouted, and in a flash, he joined the fray. He formed seals with his hands, and a powerful celestial energy surged from his body, transforming into a sharp sword beam that slashed towards the monsters.

"Boom!" Wherever the sword light passed, the monsters fell down wailing and turned into black smoke that dissipated in the air.

The black-robed old man was startled upon seeing this, but then a look of gratitude appeared on his face. He sheathed his sword, clasped his fists towards Yun Che, and said, "Thank you very much for your help, young friend. I am deeply grateful."

Yun Che smiled faintly and said, "Senior, you are too polite. As fellow cultivators, we should help each other."

The black-robed old man nodded and said, "You are right, young friend. However, this is deep in the demonic realm and is fraught with danger. It would be best for you to leave as soon as possible."

Yun Che shook his head and said, "Senior, I came here to explore the mysteries of the immortal path, not to escape danger. Moreover, I believe that my strength is enough to handle any challenge."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed old man's eyes flashed with admiration. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are so determined, I will tell you a secret."

"Oh? What secret?" Yun Che's heart moved and he asked hurriedly.

The black-robed old man lowered his voice and said, "Deep within this demonic realm lies an ancient relic. It is said that it contains the highest secrets of the immortal path. However, the relic is guarded by a powerful demonic formation, and entering it is by no means easy."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che's eyes flashed with a fiery light. He took a deep breath and said, "Senior, I'm willing to give it a try."

Seeing this, the black-robed old man said no more. He pointed ahead and said, "The ruins are in that direction. Go on your own, young friend. I have important matters to attend to, so I can't accompany you."

Yun Che nodded, cupped his fists towards the black-robed old man, and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior. See you later.”

After saying this, he flashed and flew in that direction, leaving only the black-robed old man standing there, watching his departing figure, a complicated look in his eyes.

Yun Che flew all the way and finally arrived outside the ruins that the black-robed old man had mentioned. However, when he saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Ahead, he saw a crisscross of magic arrays shrouded in demonic energy, like a giant net, tightly enveloping the ruins. Those magic arrays contained powerful magical power, and even Yun Che didn't dare approach them easily.

“Hmph, trying to stop me from exploring the mysteries of the immortal path isn’t that easy.” Yun Che snorted coldly, his figure suddenly accelerating as he charged towards the magic formations.

He formed seals with his hands, and the immortal spirit energy around him surged, transforming into sharp sword beams, slashing towards the magic arrays. However, the magic arrays seemed to have life, constantly changing shape, dispelling Yun Che's attacks one by one.

"Hmph, I want to see how long you can hold out." Yun Che's eyes were determined, and his offensive became more and more fierce. He constantly changed his attack methods, trying to find the flaws in those magic arrays.

Finally, after a fierce attack, one of the magic formations finally couldn't withstand it and shattered. Yun Che was overjoyed upon seeing this and quickly took the opportunity to rush into the ruins.

Yun Che stepped into the ruins, only to find darkness all around him, with only scattered flickering lights. He moved forward cautiously, fearing he might trigger some mechanism.

After a while, he arrived at a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood an ancient altar, engraved with mysterious runes. Those runes emitted a faint glow, as if imbued with some mysterious power.

Yun Che walked to the altar and carefully observed the runes. He silently recited immortal techniques in his mind, trying to decipher the meaning of the runes. However, the runes seemed to be isolated from him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand the mystery within.

"Hmph, I simply don't believe that I, Yun Che, would be defeated by these runes." Yun Che snorted coldly, a hint of stubbornness flashing in his eyes. He calmed down once more, concentrating on studying the runes.

Time passed minute by minute, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Yun Che's forehead. However, he was completely unaware of it, and was still immersed in the world of those runes.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Yun Che's eyes. He seemed to understand something, and with a fierce wave of his hands, a powerful immortal spirit surged from his body, blasting towards the runes on the altar.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the runes on the altar seemed to be activated, bursting into a dazzling light. At the same time, a powerful immortal power surged from the altar, enveloping Yun Che completely.

Yun Che felt a surge of warmth surging from within him, instantly flowing through his entire body. His cultivation seemed to have taken a qualitative leap at this moment, and his entire being felt completely refreshed.

“Haha, I finally understand the secret of the immortal way!” Yun Che laughed loudly, his figure suddenly rising taller, and the immortal spirit energy swirled around him, as if an immortal had descended.

When Yun Che emerged from the ruins, his aura was completely different from before. He was filled with a rich, immortal aura, as if resonating with the heavens and earth. The monsters that had been besieging him, sensing his aura, fled in terror.

Yun Che looked at the fleeing monsters, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. With a flash of his body, he flew out of the Demon Realm. In a short while, he had rushed out of the Demon Realm and returned to the human world.

When he appeared before the disciples, they all revealed expressions of shock. They looked at Yun Che's completely renewed aura, their hearts filled with awe and admiration.

"Master, you... you succeeded?" a disciple asked stutteringly.

Yun Che smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Well, I have discovered the secrets of the immortal path. From now on, the strength of us cultivators will make a qualitative leap."

Upon hearing this, the disciples cheered and rejoiced. They knew that with a powerful master like Yun Che, their path to immortal cultivation would be smoother.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the air: "Hmph, Yun Che, do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you have discovered the secrets of the immortal path? Today, I will let you know what true despair is!"

Along with this voice, a powerful demonic energy surged from the sky, enveloping the entire world. Yun Che looked up and saw a black-robed Demon Lord floating in the air, his blood-red eyes flashing with cruelty and complacency.

"Demon Lord!" Yun Che's eyes glared, his mind already understanding the other party's identity. With a flash of his body, he rushed towards the Demon Lord, ready to fight him to the death.

The battle between Yun Che and the Demon Lord erupted instantly. Their figures intertwined in the air, their fists and swords mingling together, creating a deafening roar.

Yun Che was surrounded by immortal energy, and every move he made contained a powerful immortal force. Meanwhile, the Demon Lord was surrounded by surging demonic energy, and every attack seemed to devour the entire world.

The two fought back and forth, their battle difficult to determine. But as time went on, Yun Che gradually gained the upper hand. Relying on his understanding of the mysteries of the immortal way, he continuously unleashed powerful immortal arts, forcing the Demon Lord to retreat step by step.

"Hmph, Yun Che, don't get complacent too soon!" The Demon Lord snorted coldly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. He suddenly flashed and transformed into a beam of demonic light, rushing towards Yun Che.

Yun Che's heart trembled upon seeing this, and he quickly used his body skills to dodge. However, the Demon Lord's speed was astonishing, and he was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Prepare to die!" the Demon Lord shouted.
