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

Chapter 343: Qinglian’s Doubts

Golden sunlight shone upon the ruins, adding a touch of tragic grandeur to the devastated landscape. Yun Che was repeatedly blasted away by the golden-armored giant, each impact causing his body to endure unspeakable pain. His clothes were shredded, his skin covered in scars, and blood continuously seeped out, staining the ground red.

Qing Lian stood not far away, her gaze fixed on Yun Che. Her heart was filled with fear and despair. She watched Yun Che stand up again and again, and be blown away again and again. Her heart felt as if it were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, the pain unbearable.

“Yun Che, you must hold on!” Qing Lian muttered to herself. Her tears had dried up, leaving only endless worry and prayer.

Yun Che once again climbed to his feet, his eyes filled with determination and stubbornness. He knew he couldn't give up like this, or else not only would he die here, but Qinglian would also be in danger. He took a deep breath, summoning the remaining strength within him, and prepared for the next attack.

The golden-armored giant roared deafeningly, brandishing its massive fist and charging at Yun Che once more. Yun Che gritted his teeth, swinging his sword with all his might to block the blow. However, his strength seemed so insignificant in front of the giant, and his sword's light was instantly crushed, sending him flying once more.

This time, Yun Che fell heavily at Qinglian's feet. Qinglian hurried forward to help him up. Looking at Yun Che's scarred face, her heart was filled with grief and anger.

"Yun Che, are you okay?" Qing Lian asked with concern.

Yun Che shook his head with difficulty. His voice was weak but firm, “I’m fine, Qinglian. You must be careful. This giant is very powerful.”

Qinglian nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes. She knew that she couldn't be weak now. She had to be strong and face this powerful enemy together with Yun Che.

Yun Che took a deep breath and stood up again. He glanced at Qing Lian, then turned his gaze firmly to the golden-armored giant. He knew that this battle had reached a life-or-death moment, and he had to give it his all.

At this moment, Qinglian suddenly asked, "Yun Che, what exactly happened between you and Youyue? What's going on with your relationship?"

Yun Che's body trembled slightly. He hadn't expected Qing Lian to ask such a question at this time. He was silent for a moment, then frankly told Qing Lian about his experiences and emotional entanglement with You Yue.

“Qinglian, do you know? I have always considered you the most important person to me. However, during the treasure hunt with Youyue, we experienced life-or-death moments, and I discovered that I have developed deep feelings for her.” Yun Che’s voice trembled. He knew that his words might make Qinglian sad, but he had to face his heart honestly.

As Qinglian listened to Yun Che's words, a complex wave of emotions welled up in her heart. She felt anger and disappointment, yet also understanding and sympathy. She knew that feelings couldn't be forced, and since Yun Che had already developed feelings for Youyue, there was nothing she could do to change that fact.

“Yun Che, are you…are you really in love with her?” Qing Lian’s voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes became moist again.

Yun Che looked at Qinglian's eyes, filled with both anticipation and sadness. He felt a surge of guilt and helplessness. He nodded and whispered, "Yes, Qinglian. I've fallen in love with Youyue. I know this is unfair to you, but I can't deceive myself."

Qinglian closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. She took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and looked at Yun Che with a determined gaze.

"Yun Che, I understand how you feel. Although I am very sad, I also know that feelings cannot be forced. I wish you and Youyue happiness, but I also hope you can remember that no matter what happens, I will always support you." Qinglian's voice was filled with sadness, but it was full of determination and courage.

Yun Che looked at Qinglian's resolute eyes, his heart filled with emotion and guilt. He held Qinglian's hand tightly and whispered, "Qinglian, thank you. Your understanding and support mean a lot to me. I will always remember your kindness and work hard to become stronger to protect you and Youyue."

At this moment, the golden-armored giant launched another attack. It swung its massive fist, smashing towards Yun Che and Qing Lian with a whistling sound. Yun Che and Qing Lian quickly separated, each swinging their sword to block the giant's attack.

However, the giant's power was far too great, and their swords seemed so fragile in front of it. Yun Che and Qing Lian were repeatedly knocked back by the giant's attack, and their bodies suffered varying degrees of damage.

Yun Che looked at Qinglian's painful expression, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. He knew that if they continued like this, they would all die here. He had to find a way to defeat this giant and protect Qinglian's safety.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Yun Che's mind. He remembered a mysterious treasure he had obtained during an expedition—a rune imbued with immense power. He had carefully stored this rune, never using it. But now, he must harness its power to defeat the giant.

Yun Che quickly pulled the rune from his arms. He gripped it tightly, feeling the immense power within. Then, he suddenly threw the rune into the air and shouted, "In my name, summon the power of the rune!"

As Yun Che's cry fell, the rune blossomed into a dazzling light in the air. A powerful energy wave emanated from the rune, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield. Yun Che and Qing Lian both felt the might and mystery of this power.

The golden armored giant seemed to feel the threat of this power, and it roared deafeningly, trying to resist the invasion of this power. However, the power was too strong, and the giant's roar was instantly drowned out by the light.

At that moment, the rune suddenly erupted with brilliant light, transforming into a massive beam that blasted towards the giant. The giant was struck by the beam, letting out a deafening roar. Its body was instantly engulfed by the light, as if torn to pieces by an invisible force.

When the light faded, the golden-armored giant had vanished without a trace. Yun Che and Qing Lian looked at each other, their faces filled with smiles of relief. They knew they had finally defeated this powerful enemy and saved their lives.

However, this battle also brought them profound lessons and reflection. Yun Che realized that his emotional entanglements and hesitations could bring danger and harm to himself and those around him. He decided to face his heart more honestly, cherish the people around him, and no longer let emotions become his weakness.

Qinglian also grew a lot during this battle. She learned to be strong and brave, and realized that love cannot be forced, and that one must learn to let go and accept it. She decided to focus more on her cultivation and improving her strength, and no longer let love hold her back.

The two exchanged a smile, then left the ruins hand in hand. They knew the road ahead was long, but they were ready to face any challenges and difficulties. As long as they worked together, they would surely create their own glory and legend.

In the days that followed, Yun Che and Qing Lian began their training even more diligently. Supporting each other and progressing together, their strengths greatly increased. At the same time, they frequently explored and trained together, experiencing many life-or-death moments and thrilling battles. These experiences made them cherish each other's existence and feelings even more, and their bond grew deeper and stronger.

Youyue also continued to move forward on her own path. Although she had developed deep feelings for Yun Che, she also understood her responsibilities and mission. She decided to focus more on her own cultivation and improving her strength to prepare for the future battles.

As time passed, Yun Che, Qing Lian, and You Yue each achieved remarkable success in their respective fields. They became leaders in their respective fields, earning the respect and admiration of many. However, they always maintained their care and concern for each other, supporting and helping each other wherever they went.

By chance, Yun Che, Qing Lian, and You Yue met again. Looking at each other's familiar and friendly faces, their hearts were filled with excitement and emotion. They knew that no matter how many ups and downs they had experienced, their friendship and feelings remained unchanged.

They hugged each other, as if to put all their thoughts and concerns into this embrace. Then, they sat down and talked about each other's experiences and growth, sharing each other's joys and sorrows.

During this reunion, they gained a deeper understanding of each other's hearts and aspirations. They knew that although their paths differed, their goals and ideals were the same: to pursue higher realms and greater power, and to create a better future for themselves and those around them.

This reunion strengthened their faith and resolve. They decided to continue their training and improve their strength to prepare for future battles. At the same time, they also wanted to cherish each other's presence and feelings and create more beautiful memories and experiences together.

In the days that followed, Yun Che, Qing Lian, and You Yue once again embarked on their own journeys of cultivation. Although they were in different places, their hearts remained closely connected. They encouraged and supported each other, facing the challenges and difficulties of the future together.

Through repeated trials and tribulations, their strengths were greatly enhanced. Not only did they master ever-more powerful martial arts and spells, they also comprehended many profound cultivation techniques. Their cultivation and realms continued to rise, making them the focus of everyone's attention and role models.

However, they did not become complacent. They knew that the path of cultivation is endless, and only through continuous effort can they achieve greater success. They always maintained a humble and low-key attitude, constantly learning and improving.

As time passed, the fame of Yun Che, Qing Lian, and You Yue gradually spread throughout the world of cultivation. Their deeds and achievements inspired countless cultivators to constantly strive for higher realms. They, in turn, became legendary figures in the world of cultivation, celebrated and revered by future generations.

Through repeated trials and tribulations, Yun Che gradually grasped the true meaning of cultivation and the significance of life. He understood that cultivation was not merely about improving one's strength and realm, but also about sharpening one's will and soul. Only by truly grasping the true meaning of cultivation could one travel further and more steadily on the path of cultivation.

Qinglian also gradually realized the true meaning of life and the value of life through her practice. She understood that although life is short and fragile, as long as she cherishes every moment and strives to pursue her dreams and goals, she can make her life more meaningful and wonderful.

During her training, Youyue gradually grasped the true meaning of strength and the art of combat. She understood that strength wasn't meant for oppression and plunder, but for protecting oneself and those around them, and upholding justice and peace. Only by truly grasping the true meaning of strength could one become truly powerful.

Through repeated trials and tribulations, Yun Che, Qing Lian, and You Yue gradually became leaders in the world of cultivation. Their strength and realm had reached astonishing heights, but they refused to become complacent or stagnate. They knew that only through continuous effort and pursuit could they achieve greater success and breakthroughs.
