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

Chapter 44: New Realm

Lingxi looked at him with a smile, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and admiration for the unknown: "My name is Lingxi, and I'm a casual cultivator in the world of cultivation. I heard that you're a very powerful master, so I came to find you."

Yun Che nodded, somewhat surprised but politely responding, "Oh? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lingxi raised her chin slightly, her eyes filled with determination. "I hope to be able to become your disciple and learn more advanced cultivation techniques. I know that although my cultivation level is not low, it is still far behind yours. I am willing to make every effort, just to achieve a breakthrough."

Yun Che was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He had never imagined that someone would actively ask to be his disciple. After all, his own experience in the world of cultivation had been quite tortuous. But looking at Lingxi's eyes filled with longing, Yun Che couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility.

“It’s not easy to become my disciple. The path of cultivation is difficult and long. Are you ready?” Yun Che asked in a deep voice.

Lingxi nodded solemnly: "I am ready. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will not back down."

Yun Che nodded secretly in his heart. He could sense Lingxi's sincerity and determination. So, he slowly spoke, "Okay, from now on, you will be my disciple, Yun Che. I will do my best to teach you the way of cultivation."

When Lingxi heard this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Thank you, Master!"

In the days that followed, Yun Che began to teach Lingxi meticulously. He imparted his understanding of cultivation, his insights into practice, and his combat techniques to Lingxi without reservation. Lingxi was also extremely intelligent and quickly grasped the essence of his teachings.

Yun Che watched Lingxi grow up, feeling quite pleased. He knew that Lingxi's future was limitless.

However, the path to cultivation is not always smooth. Just as Yun Che and Lingxi, master and disciple, were absorbed in their training, a sudden uproar erupted in the world of cultivation. A mysterious force quietly rose up, challenging the powerful within.

This force was so powerful that many masters of cultivation had been defeated by it. For a time, the entire cultivation world was plunged into panic.

Yun Che was also quite worried when he heard the news. He understood that the rise of this mysterious power would have a huge impact on the world of cultivation. As a master cultivator, he had a responsibility to uncover the truth and protect the peace of the world of cultivation.

Therefore, Yun Che decided to take Lingxi with him to investigate the source of this mysterious power.

Master and disciple hurried along, soon arriving at the location where the mysterious power had emerged. It was a barren desert, permeated by a strange aura. Yun Che and Lingxi exchanged a glance, each sensing the tension in the other's heart.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and several figures suddenly appeared in the desert. They were wearing black robes, with hideous masks on their faces, and exuding a cold aura.

“Who are you? Why are you stirring up trouble here?” Yun Che demanded loudly.

The black-robed man laughed strangely upon hearing this: "Humph, we are messengers from the Dark Temple, and we have been ordered to eliminate you so-called masters of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che immediately understood the source of this mysterious power. The Dark Temple, a legendary and extremely evil force, had always sought to control the world of cultivation and become the supreme being.

“Dark Temple? Humph, don’t even think about succeeding!” Yun Che shouted angrily, and his body instantly shot up, rushing towards the black-robed man.

Seeing this, Lingxi followed without hesitation. She knew that although her cultivation was still shallow, she couldn't retreat at this moment.

A fierce battle ensued. Master and disciple Yun Che and Lingxi joined forces to fight against the black-robed man. Their figures shuttled across the desert, the flashes of swords and shadows intertwined into one.

Although the black-robed men were powerful, they gradually fell into a disadvantage under the combined attack of Yun Che and Ling Xi. However, they did not give up, and instead began to unleash even more bizarre moves.

One of the black-robed men waved his hands, and a black mist suddenly surged from his palms, attacking Yun Che and Lingxi. Yun Che's heart trembled, he knew that this was the unique skill of the Dark Temple - Shadow Demon Mist.

The Dark Demonic Mist was extremely powerful; once contaminated, it would corrode a cultivator's cultivation and mind. Yun Che didn't dare to be careless and quickly activated his cultivation, forming a shield to protect himself and Lingxi.

However, the shadowy mist was extremely stubborn, constantly attacking the shield. Yun Che could feel the increasing pressure on the shield, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this moment, Lingxi suddenly spoke: "Master, you concentrate on dealing with those black-robed men, and I will deal with this shadow magic fog."

Yun Che was slightly startled when he heard this. He hadn't expected Lingxi to step forward at this moment, but he also understood that the current situation didn't allow him to overthink things. So, he nodded and turned to continue his fierce battle with the black-robed man.

Lingxi began to use all the skills she had learned to try to resist the invasion of the shadowy magic fog. Her figure shuttled through the magic fog, her hands waving continuously, releasing rays of light.

As time went by, Lingxi's cultivation and mental strength were constantly depleted. But she always gritted her teeth and persisted, refusing to give up. Yun Che looked at Lingxi's back, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

Finally, thanks to Lingxi's unremitting efforts, the shadowy mist gradually dissipated. Meanwhile, the black-robed figures were defeated one by one by Yun Che, falling to the ground.

After the battle, Yun Che and Ling Xi both looked a little exhausted. But as they looked at each other, their eyes were filled with relief and joy. They knew that this victory was not only a testament to their strength, but also a testimony to the deep friendship between them as master and disciple.

"Master, what should we do next?" Lingxi looked at Yun Che and asked.

Yun Che pondered for a moment, then spoke, "The Dark Temple will not give up. We must find their lair as soon as possible and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Lingxi heard this and nodded: "Master, I will go with you."

So, Yun Che and Ling Xi, the master and apprentice, set out on their journey again. After asking around and going through countless hardships, they finally found the location of the Dark Temple - an ancient castle hidden deep in the mountains.

The castle was surrounded by traps and traps. Yun Che and Ling Xi moved forward cautiously, fearing they might trigger something. They arrived at the center of the castle and saw an old man in a black robe sitting on a throne.

“You’re finally here.” The black-robed old man looked at Yun Che and Lingxi, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth.

Yun Che looked at the black-robed old man and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He hadn't expected the Dark Temple's master to be such an old man. But despite his surprise, Yun Che quickly regained his composure.

“The Dark Temple has committed countless evil deeds. Today is your doom!” Yun Che roared angrily, and his figure instantly shot up, rushing towards the black-robed old man.

Seeing this, the black-robed old man sneered and waved his hands. Suddenly, a powerful dark force surged from his palms and attacked Yun Che. Yun Che did not dare to be careless and quickly activated his cultivation to form a shield to protect himself.

However, this dark force was extremely powerful, and the shield shattered the moment it came into contact with it. Yun Che only felt a powerful force knock him away, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Lingxi was horrified upon seeing this. She rushed forward and helped Yun Che up. Yun Che's face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Master, are you okay?" Lingxi asked anxiously.

Yun Che shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine. However, he knew that his cultivation was still too weak in front of the black-robed old man.

At this moment, the black-robed old man spoke again: "Humph, you guys think you can destroy the Dark Temple? What a joke."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che felt a surge of nameless anger surge within him. He glared at the black-robed old man and shouted, "The Dark Temple has committed countless evil deeds, and they deserve to be punished. Don't be complacent, today is your death!"

After saying this, Yun Che rushed towards the black-robed old man again. Lingxi followed closely behind him and joined the battle.

This battle was more intense and brutal than any of the previous ones. Yun Che and Ling Xi, master and disciple, joined forces to fight against the black-robed old man, but they were unable to gain the upper hand. The black-robed old man's cultivation was simply too powerful, and they were no match for him.

However, Yun Che and Ling Xi did not give up. They knew they could not lose like this, otherwise the entire cultivation world would fall into the control of the Dark Temple.

So, they began to fight with all their might, unleashing every technique they had learned. Yun Che's swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind, each move imbued with immense power. Lingxi's magic was also incredibly strange, forcing the black-robed elder to distract himself.

As time went on, the black-robed old man began to look a little tired. He had not expected Yun Che and Ling Xi to be so tenacious, which surprised him a little.

However, at this moment, Yun Che suddenly discovered a flaw in the black-robed old man. Overjoyed, he quickly seized the opportunity and stabbed the black-robed old man in the vitals with his sword.

The black-robed old man was horrified upon seeing this. He quickly activated his cultivation, attempting to block Yun Che's attack. However, the sword strike was far too powerful, and the black-robed old man was unable to resist it at all.

With a single "puff," the black-robed old man's body was pierced by Yun Che's sword, blood splattering everywhere. He stared at Yun Che with wide eyes, his face filled with resentment and anger.

"You...you dare..." The old man in black robe fell to the ground and died before he could finish his words.

Yun Che looked at the black-robed old man lying on the ground and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that he had finally defeated the Dark Temple's master and eliminated a major threat to the cultivation world.

“Master, we won!” Lingxi looked at Yun Che, a joyful smile on her face.

Yun Che also smiled and nodded: "Yes, we won."

However, at this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from Yun Che's chest. He felt a powerful force raging in his body, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

“Master, what’s wrong with you?” Lingxi was shocked when she saw Yun Che’s painful expression.

Yun Che gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty, “I… I’m fine, just a little injured.”

However, Lingxi knew that Yun Che's injuries were far more serious than he had said. She looked at Yun Che's pale face and the blood that kept flowing out, and her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.

“Master, you must hold on. I’ll take you to see a doctor.” Lingxi said, and prepared to help Yun Che leave.

However, Yun Che shook his head: "No need, I... I can do it myself."
