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

Chapter 38: Getting to Know the Strong

Yun Che took the opportunity to rush forward and grabbed the treasure on the altar. However, at this moment, the old man suddenly got up from the ground and pounced towards Yun Che.

"Don't even think about it!" Yun Che snorted coldly, moving his body to the side and easily dodging the old man's attack. Holding the treasure in his hand, he looked at the old man with a cold gaze, secretly vigilant in his heart.

The old man missed his target and stumbled a bit, but he immediately regained his balance and stared at Yun Che with wide-open eyes. “Boy, hand over the treasure, or I will leave you dead without a burial place!”

Yun Che sneered and said, "Just you? You think you can snatch my treasure?"

Upon hearing this, the old man laughed in anger: "Humph, boy, you are too arrogant! I have been in the world of cultivation for many years, how can a brat like you who is still wet behind the ears compare to me?"

A disdainful smile appeared on Yun Che's lips. "Oh? Then why don't you try and see if you can snatch this treasure from me."

As he spoke, Yun Che tightly grasped the treasure in his hand, his spiritual energy surging around him as he prepared for battle.

Seeing this, the old man stopped talking and flashed towards Yun Che. His hands formed into claws, and the claws were sharp and fierce, going straight for Yun Che's vital points.

Yun Che dodged the old man's attacks lightly, looking for an opportunity to counterattack. He knew in his heart that although his cultivation was not bad, he still couldn't be careless when facing such an experienced old man.

The two fought back and forth in the narrow cave, their battle inextricably linked. Yun Che, relying on his agile movements and superb martial arts, gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing this, the old man grew increasingly enraged, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

Just then, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the cave. Yun Che was startled, fearing that someone else had discovered the secret and was coming to seize the treasure. He didn't dare delay and immediately increased his attack, hoping to eliminate the old man as quickly as possible.

The old man felt Yun Che's attacks becoming increasingly fierce, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. He knew that if he continued like this, Yun Che might really kill him. So, he gritted his teeth and summoned a magic weapon.

The magical weapon radiated a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the cave. Yun Che felt a powerful pressure coming towards him, making it difficult for him to breathe. He was deeply alarmed and quickly channeled his spiritual energy to resist the pressure from the magical weapon.

However, at this moment, the old man suddenly withdrew his magic weapon and retreated violently. Yun Che was stunned, confused as to why. He saw the old man retreat to the cave entrance, a strange smile on his face.

"Boy, you are lucky! I will let you go today. I will come back to take your life after I find help!" After the old man said this, his figure flashed and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

Yun Che looked in the direction the old man had disappeared, secretly feeling thankful. He knew that he was lucky to have escaped this calamity. If the old man had truly used that magical weapon to fight him to the death, he would have been in real danger of his life.

He put away his distracting thoughts and returned his attention to the treasure in his hand. This treasure emitted a faint light, revealing a mysterious aura. Yun Che was curious and wanted to know what this treasure could be used for.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the cave: "Yun Che, are you in there?"

Yun Che was startled upon hearing this. This voice was all too familiar to him; it was none other than his good friend, Xia Qingyue. He quickly put away his treasures and exited the cave, only to find Xia Qingyue standing at the entrance, looking at him with a look of worry.

“Qingyue, why are you here?” Yun Che asked in surprise.

Seeing that Yun Che was safe and sound, Xia Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was worried that you might be in danger, so I came to find you. Are you okay?"

Yun Che shook his head and said, "I'm fine. By the way, how did you know I was here?"

Xia Qingyue smiled faintly and said, "I sensed something unusual about your aura earlier, so I followed you. I didn't expect you to be in real danger."

Yun Che couldn't help but feel touched when he heard this. He knew that Xia Qingyue had always cared deeply for him. No matter what danger he encountered, she would always come to his aid at the first opportunity.

He looked at Xia Qingyue gratefully and said, "Qingyue, thank you. It's great to have you by my side."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyue's face flushed and she lowered her head shyly.

The two smiled at each other and then left the dangerous cave together. They knew that this place was no longer safe and they had to leave as soon as possible.

On the way out of the cave, Yun Che told Xia Qingyue about his experience there. After hearing this, Xia Qingyue's eyes flashed with surprise and worry. She knew that Yun Che's safety this time was a stroke of luck. If he encountered such danger again next time, he would probably not be able to escape so easily.

She looked at Yun Che and said, "Yun Che, you must be careful in the future. The world of cultivation is fraught with dangers. The slightest carelessness can lead to eternal damnation."

Yun Che nodded and said seriously, "I understand. I will proceed with caution."

The two of them continued on their way and soon left this dangerous area. They found a safe place and rested for a while. Yun Che took out the treasure he had obtained in the cave and studied it carefully.

This treasure was a crystal-clear jade pendant, engraved with mysterious runes. Yun Che attempted to inject his spiritual energy into it, and the jade pendant instantly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping his entire body.

Yun Che felt a powerful force surge into his body, instantly boosting his cultivation significantly. He was overjoyed, knowing that this treasure was indeed extraordinary.

He put away the jade pendant and shared his joy with Xia Qingyue. After hearing this, Xia Qingyue was also happy for Yun Che. She knew that the stronger Yun Che's strength was, the stronger their ability to survive in the world of cultivation would be.

After resting for a while, the two continued their journey. They knew that many unknown challenges awaited them in the world of cultivation. They must constantly improve their strength to better cope with these challenges.

In the days that followed, Yun Che and Xia Qingyue experienced many battles and adventures together. They met many powerful cultivators and encountered many powerful enemies. But no matter what difficulties they encountered, they were able to work together and face them together.

Through battle after battle, Yun Che's strength continued to rise. His martial arts and spiritual power grew ever stronger, making him the center of attention. Xia Qingyue wasn't far behind, her cultivation and strength also constantly improving. The two supported each other and grew together.

On this day, Yun Che and Xia Qingyue arrived at a bustling city. This city, called Yunyin City, was a vital transportation hub in the world of cultivation. It was bustling with cultivators from all over the land.

Yun Che and Xia Qingyue walked along the streets, taking in the bustling and bustling atmosphere of the city. They knew that many opportunities and challenges lay hidden here. They had to remain vigilant at all times to gain a foothold.

At this moment, a mysterious figure in a black robe suddenly appeared before them. This mysterious figure wore a mask, making it impossible to see his true face. He looked at Yun Che and Xia Qingyue with deep eyes, as if he could see through their hearts.

Yun Che and Xia Qingyue sensed the powerful aura of this mysterious person, and they couldn't help but feel a little wary. They knew that this mysterious person was definitely not a good person. They had to deal with him carefully to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The mysterious man looked at Yun Che and Xia Qingyue and slowly said, "You two young cultivators with impressive abilities, would you be interested in joining us?"

Yun Che's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He knew that since this mysterious person had taken the initiative to approach them, he must have some ulterior motive. He had to understand this mysterious person's true intentions before making a decision.

He looked at the mysterious man and said, "Join you? I wonder who you are?"

The mysterious man smiled slightly and said, "We are a powerful force in the world of cultivation, called the Shadow Pavilion. We are dedicated to collecting various rare resources and treasures, and providing convenience for the powerful in the world of cultivation. As long as you are willing to join us, you can enjoy the various resources and protection we provide."

After hearing this, Yun Che pondered inwardly. He knew that the Shadow Pavilion was indeed a considerable force in the world of cultivation. If he could join them, perhaps he could improve his strength more quickly. However, he also knew that the people in the Shadow Pavilion were secretive and ruthless. If he joined them, he would probably be drawn into unnecessary disputes.

He looked at the mysterious man and said, "It's not impossible for us to join you, but we must know your true intentions. What exactly do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man's eyes flashed with admiration. He knew that Yun Che was no pushover, and that being able to analyze the situation so calmly was truly rare.

He looked at Yun Che and said, "Our goal is simple. We want to collect various rare resources and treasures to provide convenience for the powerful in the cultivation world. At the same time, we also hope to use your strength to explore some unknown areas and secret realms together. Of course, if you don't want to, we won't force you."

After hearing this, Yun Che had already made a decision. He knew that although he was quite powerful, in this world of cultivation where the strong were respected, he still needed a strong backer to gain a foothold. And the Shadow Pavilion was undoubtedly a good choice.

He looked at the mysterious man and said, "Okay, we are willing to join you."

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man smiled with satisfaction. He extended his hand and said, "Welcome to the Shadow Pavilion. I am one of the Shadow Pavilion's elders, named Black Robe. From now on, you can call me Elder Black Robe."

Yun Che and Xia Qingyue shook hands with the black-robed elder and officially became members of the Shadow Pavilion. They knew that from now on, their fate would be closely tied to the Shadow Pavilion.

In the days that followed, Yun Che and Xia Qingyue, under the guidance of the black-robed elder, began to access the various resources and secrets of the Shadow Pavilion. They learned many powerful martial arts and secret methods, which greatly improved their strength.

At the same time, they also participated in various missions and operations of the Shadow Pavilion. They delved into various secret and dangerous places to collect rare resources and treasures. They experienced countless battles and adventures, and gradually became the best in the Shadow Pavilion.

However, as time went on, Yun Che gradually discovered some unknown secrets of the Shadow Pavilion. He found that the Shadow Pavilion was not as simple as it seemed. There were many dark and conspiracies hidden behind them.

Yun Che was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that he had to keep a clear head at all times in order to gain a foothold in this complex world of cultivation.

On this day, the black-robed elder suddenly found Yun Che and Xia Qingyue. He looked at them with a solemn expression on his face.

“Yun Che, Xia Qingyue, there is an important matter that needs your attention,” said the black-robed elder.

Yun Che and Xia Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they heard this.
