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

Chapter 45: The Mystery of Inheritance

“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."

Although Yun Che's voice was weak, his tone was extremely firm. He knew very well that his current condition could not be cured by ordinary doctors, and he needed to rely on his own strength to recover.

Lingxi looked at Yun Che's determined eyes. Although she was anxious, she had no choice but to obey his wishes. She carefully supported Yun Che, and the two of them slowly walked towards their residence.

After returning to his room, Yun Che sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the spiritual energy in his body. He tried to repair his damaged body through his own cultivation.

Lingxi stood aside, watching Yun Che's complexion gradually improve, feeling a little relieved. But she knew that this was only temporary. To completely solve Yun Che's problem, she had to find clues about the ancient inheritance.

Yun Che gradually entered a mysterious state during his cultivation. He seemed to be in a state of chaos, and the surroundings were filled with an ancient and mysterious aura.

“Where exactly is this ancient inheritance?” Yun Che muttered to himself, trying to find the answer in this chaos.

Suddenly, a faint light shone through the chaos, illuminating Yun Che's vision. He followed the light and saw an ancient rune slowly emerging.

“This is…” Yun Che was shocked. He recognized that this rune was one of the clues about ancient inheritance that he had seen in ancient books.

As the runes gradually became clearer, memories of ancient heritage began to emerge in Yun Che's mind. He seemed to see the scenes of those ancient masters practicing and feel the surging spiritual energy in their bodies.

“So that’s how it is. The ancient inheritance isn’t just a simple method of cultivation, but rather a state of resonance with the heavens and earth, and coexistence with all things.” Yun Che understood clearly in his heart. He knew that in order to reach this state, he had to abandon distracting thoughts and become one with nature.

When Yun Che woke up from his training, it was already the next morning. He opened his eyes and felt refreshed, and his injuries had healed.

“Master, you’re awake!” Lingxi had been waiting by his side the entire time, and upon seeing Yun Che wake up, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

Yun Che smiled faintly, stood up, and stretched his muscles: "Yes, I'm fine now. Thank you, Lingxi."

Lingxi felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She knew that although Yun Che seemed indifferent on the surface, his heart was filled with love and care for her.

"Master, did you gain anything last night?" Lingxi asked curiously.

Yun Che nodded, his expression becoming serious. “Yes, I have found clues about the ancient inheritance. But to truly solve this mystery, further exploration is necessary.”

Lingxi heard this, and a firm look flashed in his eyes: "Master, I will go with you!"

Yun Che looked at Lingxi's determined eyes and felt a surge of relief in his heart. He knew that although Lingxi was young, her perseverance and determination were in no way inferior to his own.

“Okay, let’s go find the truth about the ancient heritage together!” Yun Che said, and then took Lingxi on the journey to explore the ancient heritage.

The two of them traveled all the way, through thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at an ancient and mysterious relic.

The entrance to the ruins was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, making it impossible to see its full view. Yun Che and Lingxi exchanged a glance and stepped into the fog without hesitation.

As they went deeper, the fog gradually dissipated, and an ancient palace came into view. The walls of the palace were carved with various mysterious runes and patterns, as if telling the glory and vicissitudes of ancient times.

Yun Che and Ling Xi cautiously entered the palace, only to see a huge altar in the center. On the altar lay a treasure emitting a faint glow. It was the key to the ancient inheritance!

"Master, look!" Lingxi pointed at the treasure on the altar, excitement glittering in her eyes.

Yun Che nodded and slowly walked towards the altar. He stretched out his hands and gently touched the treasure, feeling a warm power flowing from the treasure into his body.

“Is this the key to the ancient inheritance?” Yun Che muttered silently in his heart, feeling the power contained in the treasure.

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from the treasure, enveloping both Yun Che and Ling Xi. Their eyes lit up, as if they were transported into a whole new world.

In this world, Yun Che saw the ancient masters cultivating and felt the surging spiritual energy within them. He seemed to have merged with this world, resonating with the heavens and earth, and coexisting with all things.

“Is this the realm inherited from ancient times?” Yun Che suddenly realized that he had found the true path of cultivation.

However, just as Yun Che was immersed in the realm of ancient inheritance, a powerful hostility suddenly struck him. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a mysterious man in a black robe standing before him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to stop me?" Yun Che asked coldly.

The black-robed man chuckled and said in a cold voice, "How can an ant like you possess the power of an ancient inheritance? Hand it over obediently, and I'll spare your life!"

Yun Che heard this and a surge of anger surged in his heart: "Just like you, you want to snatch the ancient inheritance?"

As he spoke, Yun Che began a fierce battle with the black-robed man. The two men exchanged blows, fists whistling, and the fight was a close one.

Lingxi watched with fear from the side. She knew that her strength was too weak to intervene in this battle. But she also didn't want to watch Yun Che get hurt, so she decided to help Yun Che in her own way.

Lingxi closed her eyes and began to pray silently. She tried to use the power of heaven and earth to enhance Yun Che's strength.

As Lingxi prayed, a warm power surged from her body, transforming into a ray of light that shot towards Yun Che. Yun Che felt a surge of spiritual power within him, and his combat power instantly soared.

“Alright!” Yun Che shouted, and with one punch, he sent the black-robed man flying.

The black-robed man fell to the ground, spitting blood, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You...how could you become so strong?"

Yun Che looked coldly at the man in black robes: "The power of this ancient inheritance is beyond your imagination! Today is the day you die!"

As he spoke, Yun Che rushed towards the black-robed man again, ready to kill him.

However, at this moment, the black-robed man suddenly stood up and pulled out a black bead from his arms. He crushed the bead with force, and a black light shot out from the bead, instantly enveloping Yun Che.

Yun Che felt a powerful suction coming, as if his body was being sucked into an endless abyss. He struggled with all his might, but to no avail.

"Master!" Lingxi shouted in horror upon seeing this.

However, Yun Che's figure had already disappeared in the black light, leaving no trace.

Lingxi stood there in a daze, her eyes filled with despair and sadness. She didn't know how to face this cruel reality, nor how to find her master.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang in Lingxi's ears: "Lingxi, don't give up! I believe Yun Che will definitely come back!"

Lingxi felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She looked up and saw a young man in white standing before her, his eyes filled with determination and trust.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Lingxi asked in surprise.

The young man in white smiled slightly and said, "I'm Yun Che's friend. My name is Ling Xiao. I believe he will come back, because he is not someone who gives up easily."

Lingxi felt a little comforted when she heard this. She looked at Ling Xiao's determined eyes and felt as if she saw the shadow of Yun Che.

"Brother Lingxiao, do you think Master will really come back?" Lingxi asked.

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I definitely will! What we need to do now is to practice hard and wait for Yun Che's return!"

Lingxi's eyes flashed with determination when she heard this. She decided to follow Ling Xiao's advice, practice diligently, and wait for Yun Che's return.

In the days that followed, Lingxi and Lingxiao practiced together, exploring various cultivation methods. Their strength continued to improve, and they gradually became the best in the world of cultivation.

However, despite their growing strength, there was still no news about Yun Che. Lingxi's heart was filled with worry and longing. She didn't know where Yun Che was now, or whether he was still alive.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Lingxi would sit alone in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, silently praying for Yun Che's safe return.

Yun Che was currently in a mysterious space. He looked around and saw that this space was filled with chaotic energy, as if it were an uncivilized world.

“Where is this place? Why am I here?” Yun Che’s heart was filled with confusion and uneasiness.

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside Yun Che's ears: "This is the secret realm of ancient inheritance. Only those who truly master the ancient inheritance can enter here."

Yun Che was shocked when he heard this: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The voice rang out again: "I am the guardian of the ancient heritage. I have waited here for countless years, and finally I have waited for someone who can master the ancient heritage."

Yun Che felt a little comforted, knowing that he had found the true ancient inheritance. However, he did not understand why he was brought to this mysterious space.

“Master Guardian, why am I here? What should I do to leave here?” Yun Che asked.

The guardian said: "If you want to leave here, you must first pass my test. Only those who truly master the ancient heritage are qualified to leave here."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che felt a surge of fighting spirit in his heart: "Alright! I'm willing to accept the test!"

As he spoke, Yun Che began a fierce battle with the guardian. The battle was extremely fierce, and Yun Che finally defeated the guardian after trying his best.

"Congratulations, you have passed the test." The guardian's voice sounded again, his tone full of appreciation and relief.

Yun Che smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Lord Guardian."

The guardian said, "You can leave here now, but remember, the power of the ancient heritage is beyond your imagination. You must make good use of this power and contribute to the world of cultivation."

Yun Che nodded and said, "I will."

As he spoke, Yun Che transformed into a ray of light and left this mysterious space.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the ruins. He looked around and saw Lingxi and Lingxiao anxiously waiting for him.

“Master!” Lingxi shouted excitedly upon seeing Yun Che return.

Yun Che smiled at Lingxi and Lingxiao and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Lingxi and Lingxiao gathered around and asked about Yun Che's experience. Yun Che told them about his experience in the secret realm, and both of them were shocked when they heard it.
