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

Chapter 47: The Test of the Ruins

The tunnel was pitch black, the torchlight barely illuminating a few feet ahead. Yun Che, Ling Xi, and Ling Xiao moved forward cautiously, their ears occasionally filled with the sounds of dripping water and the whistling of wind through the tunnel, making the entire environment even more eerie and terrifying.

"Is this really the entrance to the ruins? Why does it feel like entering hell?" Lingxi asked in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Yun Che gripped the torch tightly in his hand, his eyes determined: "No matter what lies ahead, we must move forward bravely. This is our only chance, we cannot retreat."

Ling Xiao nodded, his expression solemn: "Yun Che is right. Now that we have come this far, there is no turning back. Everyone, be careful and stay alert."

The three continued on their journey, and soon arrived at a spacious underground hall. Ancient runes were carved on the walls of the hall, gleaming with a faint light, as if telling ancient legends.

“These runes…” Yun Che stared at the runes on the wall, an inexplicable feeling welling up in his heart, “They seem to be telling us something.”

Lingxi walked closer to examine it carefully, frowning. "These runes are very complex. I have never seen such ancient writing. However, they seem to contain some kind of power."

Ling Xiao suddenly pointed to the center of the hall: "Look there!"

In the center of the hall stood a huge circular altar, upon which sat a radiant treasure box. The surface of the treasure box was engraved with intricate patterns, emitting an alluring aura.

“That must be the treasure of the ruins!” Yun Che’s eyes flashed with a burning passion, “We must hurry over there.”

The three of them quickly approached the altar, but at this moment, the ground around the altar suddenly shook, and sharp stone pillars rose from the ground, surrounding them.

“Oh no, there’s a trap!” Yun Che shouted, quickly dodging the rising stone pillars.

Lingxi and Lingxiao followed closely behind. The three of them flexibly moved between the stone pillars, avoiding the ever-changing mechanisms.

"This isn't a solution. We need to find the flaw in the mechanism." Yun Che dodged while observing the changing patterns of the stone pillars.

Lingxi suddenly shouted, "Look, there seems to be a pattern in the rise of those stone pillars!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che observed carefully and indeed discovered that the stone pillars rose in a certain order. Delighted, he immediately said to Lingxi and Lingxiao, "Follow me, I've found the pattern!"

Yun Che followed the pattern he had discovered and led Lingxi and Lingxiao forward step by step. Finally, they successfully avoided all the stone pillars and arrived in front of the altar.

"Great, we succeeded!" Lingxi shouted excitedly.

Yun Che did not dare to be careless. He walked cautiously towards the treasure box, ready to open it. However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from under the altar and rushed towards Yun Che.

"Be careful!" Ling Xiao shouted and swung his sword at the black shadow.

The black shadow nimbly dodged Ling Xiao's attack in mid-air and charged towards Yun Che again. Yun Che reacted quickly, dodging sideways and simultaneously kicking the black shadow.

The black shadow was kicked away by Yun Che, and fell to the ground with a loud "bang". Yun Che looked closely and found that it was actually a huge black monster.

“This is… the guardian beast of the ruins?” Yun Che said in surprise.

Ling Xiao gripped his sword tightly and looked at the black monster warily: "It seems that if we want to get the treasure box, we have to get past it first."

The black demonic beast roared and lunged at the three of them again. Yun Che, Lingxi, and Lingxiao immediately launched their attack, engaging in a fierce battle with the black demonic beast.

During the battle, Yun Che discovered that the black monster was extremely powerful and extremely fast, and the three of them could only barely resist it together.

“This isn’t a solution. We have to find a way to subdue it.” Yun Che thought about his strategy while fighting.

Lingxi suddenly shouted, "Yun Che, look into its eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che immediately noticed the strange red light flickering in the black demonic beast's eyes. With a thought, he immediately unleashed his pupil technique, locking eyes with the black demonic beast.

Under the influence of the pupil technique, the black demon beast's movements became sluggish. Yun Che seized the opportunity and swung his sword towards its vital points.

However, at this moment, the black demon beast suddenly let out a deafening roar, unexpectedly breaking free from the control of the pupil technique. Yun Che's sword force was thus hindered, and he failed to hit the vital point.

“What a cunning fellow!” Yun Che cursed inwardly as he engaged in another fierce battle with the black demonic beast.

After a tough fight, the three finally found the black monster's weakness. Yun Che seized the opportunity and landed a heavy punch on its abdomen, sending it retreating several steps.

Lingxi and Lingxiao took the opportunity to step forward and attack the black monster's limbs respectively. Under the combined attack of the three, the black monster finally fell to the ground, losing its fighting power.

“Huh… It’s finally resolved.” Yun Che wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao looked at the black monster lying on the ground and sighed, "This guy is really powerful. If the three of us hadn't joined forces, I'm afraid it would be difficult to subdue it."

Lingxi walked to the altar, looked at the treasure box and said, "Can we open the treasure box now?"

Yun Che walked over to Lingxi and nodded: "Well, it should be OK now."

The three of them worked together to open the lid of the treasure box. Inside the box, they saw a pill that shone with brilliant light and an ancient book.

“This is… the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill and the Heavenly Evolution Divine Art?” Yun Che looked at the items in the treasure box in surprise, a burning look flashing in his eyes.

Lingxi and Lingxiao also saw the items in the treasure box and showed surprise on their faces.

"The Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill is a legendary miracle medicine that can bring the dead back to life. It is extremely precious." Lingxi said.

Ling Xiao picked up the ancient book and flipped through it carefully: "The Divine Art of Heaven's Evolution... This seems to be some kind of advanced cultivation method."

Yun Che carefully put away the Nine Revolutions Soul Resurrection Pill, then looked at the Heavenly Evolution Divine Art in Ling Xiao's hand and asked, "What should we do with this book?"

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Since we came here together, let's study this book together. After we leave the ruins, we can discuss how to distribute it."

Yun Che and Lingxi both nodded, agreeing with Ling Xiao's suggestion.

After collecting the treasure box, the three continued their exploration of the ruins. They discovered they were filled with traps and traps, putting them in imminent danger. However, with their strength and wisdom, they overcame these obstacles one by one.

During their exploration, they encountered obstacles from other cultivators who were all seeking the treasures within the ruins and were determined to snatch the treasures from Yun Che and the others at all costs.

However, Yun Che, Ling Xi, and Ling Xiao joined forces, and their fighting power was extremely powerful. They not only successfully repelled the attacks of those cultivators, but also seized some precious treasures and resources from them.

“These cultivators are truly incredibly greedy. They’ll do anything to get their hands on treasure.” Yun Che sighed as he looked at the spoils in his hand.

Lingxi nodded: "Yes, but it is also thanks to them that we can get these extra gains."

Ling Xiao looked ahead and said, "I don't know what dangers are waiting for us ahead. Everyone must be careful."

The three continued on their journey, and soon arrived at a vast underground palace. The palace was magnificent and brimming with luxury. However, beneath this opulence lay hidden dangers.

“This is the core area of ​​the ruins.” Yun Che looked at the scene inside the palace, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

Lingxi and Lingxiao also sensed something unusual in the palace. They followed Yun Che closely, looking around vigilantly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the palace and charged towards Yun Che. Yun Che reacted quickly, dodging the attack by leaning sideways while simultaneously slashing at the figure with his backhanded sword.

The figure nimbly dodged Yun Che's attack in the air. Yun Che looked closely and discovered that it was actually a mysterious person in a black robe.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Yun Che asked sternly.

The mysterious man looked at Yun Che, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Hmph, you dare to break into the core area of ​​the ruins and rob my treasure. Today, you will never leave alive!"

Yun Che heard this and a surge of anger surged in his heart: "You shameless person, the treasures in the ruins are ownerless to begin with, how can you say you are stealing them?"

The mysterious man snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, today I will let you see how powerful I am!"

After saying this, the mysterious man waved his black robe and attacked Yun Che and the others. Yun Che, Lingxi, and Ling Xiao immediately launched an attack, engaging in a fierce battle with the mysterious man.

During the battle, Yun Che discovered that this mysterious man was extremely powerful, and even the three of them could only barely hold him back. Furthermore, the mysterious man also possessed a strange black robe secret technique, making his attacks even more unpredictable.

“This guy is truly powerful. We must find a way to get rid of him as quickly as possible.” Yun Che said to Lingxi and Lingxiao while fighting.

Lingxi nodded: "Well, we need to cooperate more tacitly."

Ling Xiao stared closely at the mysterious man's movements, looking for his flaws.

After a tough fight, the three finally found the mysterious man's weakness. Yun Che seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful punch to his chest, sending him back several steps.

Lingxi and Lingxiao took the opportunity to move forward and attack the mysterious man from both sides. Under the combined attack of the three, the mysterious man finally fell to the ground, losing his fighting ability.

“Huh… It’s finally resolved.” Yun Che wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lingxi looked at the mysterious man lying on the ground and sighed, "This guy is really powerful. If the three of us hadn't joined forces, I'm afraid it would be difficult to subdue him."

Ling Xiao walked deeper into the palace and carefully inspected the treasures. He found many precious treasures and resources placed inside the palace, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"It seems that we have really won a great victory this time." Ling Xiao said with a smile as he looked at the treasures all over the ground.

Yun Che and Ling Xi also came over and looked at the treasures scattered all over the ground with happy smiles on their faces. They knew that these treasures would provide great help in their future cultivation.

However, at this moment, the palace suddenly shook. The three looked around in surprise, not knowing what had happened.

“Oh no, this place is going to collapse!” Yun Che shouted and immediately pulled Lingxi and Lingxiao towards the palace exit.

The three of them ran all the way and finally escaped before the palace collapsed. They looked at the collapsed ruins behind them and couldn't help but feel lucky.

“This time it was really thrilling.”
