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

Chapter 269: The gap between immortals and mortals, the transformation of the state of mind

Hong Ling looked at Yun Che, her bright eyes gleaming with tears and deep admiration. "Yun Che, you're truly amazing." Her voice trembled slightly, as if the thrilling battle she had just experienced was still vivid in her mind.

Yun Che smiled and shook his head, his gaze falling gently on Hong Ling: "This is also thanks to the power of your heart fire. Without it, I would not have been able to defeat that giant ice beast."

The two stood deep in the secret realm, surrounded by lush ancient trees and exotic flowers and plants, the air filled with a faint fragrance. Although the battle just now was fierce, the tranquility at this moment brought peace to their hearts.

Hong Ling bit her lip lightly, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Yun Che, thank you for always protecting me."

Yun Che patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "We are friends, aren't we? Friends should help each other."

As they spoke, the two continued to go deeper into the secret realm, exploring this unknown world.

As he went deeper, Yun Che gradually felt the huge gap between immortals and mortals. The spiritual energy here was so dense that it was almost solidified, completely different from the cultivation world he had encountered before.

One day, the two came to a vast meadow, scattered with several exotic wildflowers, exuding an enchanting fragrance. Yun Che stopped and looked at the mountains in the distance, his heart filled with an inexplicable feeling of emotion.

“Hong Ling, have you ever thought about how big the gap is between immortals and mortals?” Yun Che’s voice was low and deep.

Hong Ling was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I haven't thought about it that much. I just know that as long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

Yun Che turned his head and looked at Hong Ling's determined eyes, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. But he also knew that the gap between immortals and mortals was not only reflected in strength, but also in state of mind and cognition.

“Hong Ling, I’ve actually been pondering this question as well. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. What exactly are we cultivating for? Is it to pursue a higher realm, or to protect the ones we love?” Yun Che’s words carried a hint of confusion.

Hong Ling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yun Che, I believe that cultivation isn't just about pursuing a higher realm. More importantly, we must have a kind and resolute heart. Only in this way can we go further on the path of cultivation."

Yun Che nodded, his heart seemingly touched. He began to reflect on his own path of cultivation, thinking about how to better balance the relationship between immortals and mortals.

In the days that followed, Yun Che's state of mind gradually transformed. He became more mature and open-minded, and he also gained a deeper understanding of the gap between immortals and mortals.

One day, the two of them arrived at a mysterious forest. Thick fog filled the air, making them feel as if they were in a fairyland. Yun Che took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling the surge of spiritual energy within him.

“Hong Ling, do you think there will be any adventures in this forest?” Yun Che’s voice was filled with a hint of anticipation.

Hong Ling smiled slightly: "No matter what happens, I will be with you."

The two walked into the forest hand in hand, encountering many ferocious monsters along the way. However, Yun Che relied on his powerful strength and keen insight to escape danger time and time again.

During a battle with a gigantic demonic beast, Yun Che's mindset was once again elevated. No longer relying solely on physical strength to defeat his opponent, he now used his heart to sense the opponent's attack rhythm and weaknesses. Ultimately, he defeated the demonic beast with a single, exquisite sword strike, slicing through its throat.

After the battle, Yun Che sat on a huge rock, his heart filled with peace and joy. He understood that he had taken a crucial step towards a transformation of his mind.

“Hong Ling, thank you for always staying by my side.” Yun Che’s voice was filled with deep gratitude.

Hong Ling walked over to him and gently held his hand: "Yun Che, you are the hero in my heart. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will face them with you."

The two smiled at each other, and their feelings for each other became even deeper.

However, the dangers of the secret realm were far greater than this. One day, the two suddenly encountered a group of powerful cultivators. These people were dressed in black robes and had grim faces, clearly harboring ill intentions.

"Hmph, boy, hand over the treasures on you and I will spare your life!" A black-robed cultivator sneered.

Yun Che's eyes glared as he gripped the sword tightly in his hand: "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

"We are from the Dark Divine Sect! If you know what's good for you, hand over your treasures immediately, otherwise you will be killed without a burial place!" another black-robed cultivator shouted arrogantly.

A surge of anger surged in Yun Che's heart. He knew these people wouldn't let them go easily. So, he took a deep breath and prepared to fight.

“Hong Ling, step back! Let me handle these people!” Yun Che shouted.

Although Hong Ling was worried, she also knew Yun Che's strength. So, she nodded and stepped aside.

The battle was about to begin! Yun Che's figure was as fast as lightning, instantly rushing towards the black-robed cultivators. His swordsmanship was sharp and swift, and each move contained powerful spiritual energy.

Although the black-robed cultivators were quite powerful, they were still struggling under Yun Che's fierce attack. They all used their unique skills to try to resist Yun Che's attack.

However, Yun Che's state of mind had transformed, and his swordsmanship became even more exquisite. Every attack hit the black-robed cultivators' vital points just right, causing them unbearable pain.

At this moment, a black-robed cultivator suddenly unleashed a powerful dark spell, striking Yun Che. Yun Che's heart tightened, but he remained unfazed. He quickly adjusted his form and deftly dodged the attack.

Then, he took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, piercing the black-robed cultivator's chest with a sword. The black-robed cultivator widened his eyes and fell to the ground in disbelief.

Seeing this, the other black-robed cultivators retreated in fear. They knew that if this continued, they would all die under Yun Che's sword.

As a result, they all cast escape spells, trying to escape the battlefield. However, Yun Che did not let them go. His body was as fast as lightning, swiftly chasing after these black-robed cultivators.

Finally, in a dense forest, Yun Che successfully slew all the black-robed cultivators. He stood in the center of the forest, his body covered in blood and mud. But his eyes were even more determined and profound.

“Hong Ling, let’s go!” Yun Che’s voice was filled with a hint of fatigue and relief.

Hong Ling walked over to him, looking into his tired yet determined eyes, her heart filled with admiration and emotion. She gently held Yun Che's hand, and the two of them walked out of the dense forest together.

After this battle, Yun Che's state of mind was once again elevated. He understood that the path of cultivation was not just about pursuing higher realms and greater strength. More importantly, it required a kind, resolute, and courageous heart.

He began to cherish his relationship with Hong Ling even more, and also paid more attention to his friends and family. He understood that these people were the most important support and motivation for his cultivation.

At the same time, he began to consider how to better balance the relationship between immortals and mortals. He understood that while there was a huge gap between them, they also shared commonalities and connections. Only by sincerely perceiving and understanding each other could they truly bridge the gap and establish a harmonious relationship.

In the days that followed, Yun Che and Hong Ling continued to explore the secret realm. They encountered many adventures and challenges, but with their firm belief and strong strength, they overcame danger time and time again and bravely moved forward.

Their relationship was also sublimated during this journey to the secret realm. They supported each other, grew together, and became the most important people in each other's lives.

After this journey through the secret realm, Yun Che's state of mind underwent a profound transformation. He became more mature, open-minded, and courageous. He understood that while the path of cultivation was long and arduous, as long as one carefully perceives and understands the world, one can find one's own path and direction.

At the same time, he cherishes his relationship with Hong Ling even more. They have supported each other, grown together, and become the most important people in each other's lives. In the days to come, they will face more challenges and opportunities together, and write their own legendary story together.

The moonlight was as bright as water, casting a shadow on the ancient stone path where Yun Che and Hong Ling walked side by side. Their shadows were stretched out long, as if telling a secret unknown to others.

“Yun Che, you’ve changed a lot since that journey to the secret realm,” Hong Ling said softly, her eyes flickering with complex emotions, a mixture of relief and a subtle hint of worry.

Yun Che stopped and turned to look at her. Under the moonlight, his eyes seemed particularly profound. "Yes, Hong Ling. In that unknown land, I experienced life and death, witnessed miracles, and more importantly, I learned how to perceive the world with my heart. Every challenge makes me more convinced that as long as there is light in my heart, the road ahead will not be dark."

Hong Ling smiled faintly and reached out to hold Yun Che's hand: "We always grow in adversity, don't we? Remember that time when we faced that demonic beast, I almost gave up. It was you who, with your courage and wisdom, led us to turn the situation around."

Recalling that thrilling battle, Yun Che's heart still surged with excitement: "At that moment, I seemed to hear the sound of my own heartbeat, and every beat reminded me that I must not retreat. I exhausted all my strength, releasing the purest spiritual power. In that moment, I felt as if I had become one with the world."

"Do you know? At that moment, you were like the brightest star in the night sky." Hong Ling's eyes were as gentle as water, as if they could melt everything.

The two continued walking forward, passing through a quiet bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, like the whisper of nature.

“Yun Che, no matter how great the difficulties we encounter in the future, we must face them together, shoulder to shoulder, just like we did this time.” Hong Ling’s words were firm and warm, like the spring sunshine, illuminating Yun Che’s heart.

Yun Che tightly grasped Hong Ling's hand, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented determination. "I promise you, Hong Ling. The path of cultivation may be long and treacherous, but with you by my side, I am fearless. Together, we will write our own legend, and let all the ridicule and doubts we once faced become stepping stones on our path to growth."

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night. A ragged monk stumbled over, his face panicking. "Oh no! The demon beasts in Black Wind Valley are revolting!"

Yun Che and Hong Ling exchanged a glance. Without further ado, their minds instantly connected. They knew a new challenge had arrived, and this time, they would no longer face it alone.

“Let’s go, Hong Ling. Let’s go prove to everyone that even the most insignificant star can shine the brightest in the darkness.” Yun Che spoke in a firm tone, his eyes burning with an undying fighting spirit.

Under the cover of night, two figures shot out like arrows, heading straight for the Black Wind Valley. Their backs stretched out in the moonlight, as if they were messengers of fate, embarking on a journey that was destined to be extraordinary.
