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

Chapter 54: A Trial Full of Dangers

Yun Che and Qing Lian walked side by side on the bluestone path leading to the Trial Conference. The sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, casting a dappled light on them. Both of them had resolute expressions, their eyes revealing anticipation for the unknown challenge.

“Yun Che, how many experts do you think will be present at this Trial Conference?” Qing Lian asked softly, a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in her voice.

Yun Che turned to look at her, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "No matter how many powerful people there are, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to make it to the end."

Hearing this, Qinglian felt a warm current in her heart. She nodded, with a firm light flashing in her eyes: "Well, I believe you."

The two continued walking and soon arrived at the entrance of the Trial Conference. They saw a huge crowd of people ahead, with cultivators from all over the place gathered together, creating a bustling atmosphere.

"Wow, so many people." Qinglian exclaimed. She looked around and saw that there were many people with high cultivation among the people around her. She couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Yun Che patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

They made their way through the crowd and arrived at the registration desk, which was manned by an elderly man in a black robe. His sharp eyes scanned every applicant.

Yun Che and Qing Lian stepped forward and handed their respective tokens to the old man. The old man took the token, examined it carefully, and nodded: "Well, not bad, you two are qualified to participate in the trial."

After saying this, he handed two trial tokens to Yun Che and Qing Lian. Yun Che took the tokens, smiled at Qing Lian, and turned to walk towards the trial site.

The trial grounds were a vast primeval forest, teeming with unknown dangers. Yun Che and Qing Lian entered the forest, only to find towering ancient trees, entwined vines, and a desolate landscape.

"The atmosphere here is so depressing." Qinglian frowned. She tightly gripped the sword in her hand and looked around vigilantly.

Yun Che nodded. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, "Let's be careful. This place is definitely not a simple place."

They followed a path deeper into the forest and soon encountered their first checkpoint. A gigantic monster appeared in front of them. It was huge, with red eyes and a deafening roar.

"Is this... the Red Flame Bear?" Qinglian asked in surprise. She had seen records about the Red Flame Bear in ancient books and knew that it was very powerful and should not be underestimated.

Yun Che gripped his sword tightly, his eyes blazing with fire: "Be careful, it's quite powerful."

After saying this, he flashed and transformed into a streak of sword light, charging towards the Scarlet Flame Bear. Seeing this, the Scarlet Flame Bear roared angrily, opening its massive mouth and biting towards Yun Che. Yun Che was agile, and with a tumble in the air, he dodged the Scarlet Flame Bear's attack.

He took the opportunity to land on the Scarlet Flame Bear's back. With a swing of his longsword, a sharp blade ray pierced the air and slashed towards the Scarlet Flame Bear's neck. The Scarlet Flame Bear roared even more fiercely in pain, waving its claws frantically, trying to throw Yun Che off its back.

Yun Che, however, followed closely, clinging to the Scarlet Flame Bear's back, repeatedly swinging his sword at its vital points. Seeing this, Qing Lian also joined the fray. Her figure was lithe, like a butterfly, flitting around the Scarlet Flame Bear, continuously unleashing sharp sword moves.

After a fierce battle, the Scarlet Flame Bear finally fell in a pool of blood. Yun Che and Qing Lian smiled at each other, knowing that this was only the beginning and the real challenge was yet to come.

They continued to go deeper into the forest, encountering more monsters and traps. In every battle, Yun Che and Qing Lian gave their all, relying on their outstanding strength and tacit cooperation, successfully resolving crisis after crisis.

During a fierce battle with a group of demonic beasts, Yun Che was accidentally injured. His left arm was cut by the sharp claws of a demonic beast, and blood stained his sleeve red.

“Yun Che, you’re injured!” Qing Lian exclaimed. She quickly stepped forward to support Yun Che, her eyes filled with worry.

Yun Che shook his head, indicating that he was fine: "Don't worry, I'm fine. We have to leave here quickly, otherwise more monsters will surround us."

Qinglian nodded. She supported Yun Che, and the two of them quickly left the battlefield. They found a secluded cave and hid there temporarily.

“Yun Che, your wound needs to be treated.” Qing Lian said. She took out some herbs from her bosom and carefully bandaged Yun Che’s wound.

Yun Che looked at Qinglian's serious expression, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart: "Qinglian, thank you."

Qinglian smiled slightly: "We are partners, no need to be so polite."

They rested for a while, and after Yun Che's wounds had slightly healed, they continued on the road of trial. The next journey was even more difficult. Not only did they have to face attacks from demonic beasts, but they also had to deal with various complex traps and mechanisms.

While crossing a misty forest, they accidentally triggered a powerful mechanism. Suddenly, a black mist surged around them, and bursts of strange laughter came from the mist.

"Oh no, this is a fog illusion array!" Qinglian exclaimed. She had heard of the horror of the fog illusion array and knew that once trapped in it, it would be difficult to escape.

Yun Che gripped his sword tightly, his eyes determined: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely get out."

He took Qinglian with him and trudged forward through the fog. With their keen perception and excellent judgment, they repeatedly avoided the attacks of the traps.

Finally, after a difficult exploration, they found the exit of the misty array. The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy at having survived the disaster.

In the following trials, Yun Che and Qing Lian encountered even more challenges. They fought fiercely with powerful warriors from all over the world, competing for precious cultivation resources. In each battle, they gave their all, demonstrating astonishing strength and tacit cooperation.

In a fierce battle with a highly skilled cultivator, Yun Che and Qing Lian found themselves in a bitter struggle. The opponent's swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, each strike deadly. Despite their considerable strength, Yun Che and Qing Lian gradually began to struggle under the opponent's fierce attacks.

“We can’t go on like this. We must find the opponent’s weakness.” Yun Che said in a deep voice. While dodging the opponent’s attacks, he carefully observed the opponent’s swordsmanship.

Qinglian also focused on dealing with the opponent's attacks, trying to find a flaw in his moves. After much thought, she finally discovered a subtle point in his swordsmanship.

“Yun Che, look!” Qing Lian pointed at the opponent’s swordsmanship and whispered.

Yun Che looked in the direction of Qinglian's finger and saw that there was indeed a subtle flaw in the opponent's swordsmanship. He was delighted and immediately seized this opportunity.

His figure flashed, and he turned into a sword light and rushed towards the opponent. The moment he approached the opponent, he swung his sword, and a sharp sword light cut through the air and slashed at the opponent's flaw.

The opponent obviously hadn't expected Yun Che to suddenly launch an attack. He dodged Yun Che's attack with a flick of his body. However, Yun Che seized the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive, repeatedly swinging his sword to slash at the opponent's vital points.

Qinglian also took the opportunity to join the battle. Her figure was light and graceful, like a butterfly, she shuttled around the opponent, continuously launching sharp sword moves. After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the opponent.

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with the joy of victory. They knew that this trial had not only improved their strength, but also deepened their tacit understanding.

In the following trials, Yun Che and Qing Lian overcame all obstacles and successfully emerged as the winners. With their outstanding strength and tacit cooperation, they won the recognition and respect of everyone.

On the last day of the trial, Yun Che and Qing Lian arrived at the final stage of the trial. They saw a towering mountain in front of them, shrouded in mist, and vaguely visible was an ancient altar.

"Is this the final level?" Qinglian asked. She looked up at the mountain with a determined light in her eyes.

Yun Che nodded: "Yes, we must hurry up the mountain and try to be the first to reach the altar."

They trudged forward along the mountain road, constantly climbing the steep cliffs. Along the way, they encountered various dangers and difficulties, but Yun Che and Qing Lian relied on their outstanding strength and tacit cooperation to successfully resolve crises time and time again.

Finally, after a lot of hard work, they successfully climbed the mountain and arrived in front of the altar. On the altar was a pill shining with dazzling light. This was the goal of their trial - a precious foundation-building pill.

"Great, we succeeded!" Qinglian cheered. She ran towards the altar excitedly, ready to take the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the clouds and mist, blocking Qinglian's way. Yun Che looked closely and saw that the person coming was actually a mysterious cultivator wearing a black robe.

“Do you think you can get the Foundation Establishment Pill this way? How ridiculous.” The black-robed cultivator sneered. His eyes were sinister, and he was obviously full of hostility towards Yun Che and Qing Lian.

Yun Che frowned. He took a step forward, protecting Qing Lian behind him. “Who are you? Why are you trying to stop us?”

The black-robed cultivator laughed heartily: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you must leave the Foundation Establishment Pill behind today."

After saying this, he flashed and transformed into a dark shadow, attacking Yun Che and Qing Lian. Seeing this, Yun Che and Qing Lian immediately launched a counterattack. Fighting side by side, the two of them engaged in a fierce battle with the black-robed cultivator.

The black-robed cultivator's strength was indeed extraordinary. His moves were fierce and his speed was extremely fast, making it difficult for Yun Che and Qing Lian to resist. However, Yun Che and Qing Lian were not afraid at all. They relied on their outstanding strength and tacit cooperation to fight the black-robed cultivator to a draw.

After a fierce battle, Yun Che finally found the black-robed cultivator's weakness. His figure flashed, transforming into a streak of sword light as he rushed towards the black-robed cultivator. The moment he approached the black-robed cultivator, he swung his sword, and a sharp sword light pierced the air, slashing towards the black-robed cultivator's vitals.

The black-robed cultivator clearly hadn't anticipated Yun Che's sudden and fierce attack. He swayed, attempting to dodge Yun Che's attack. However, Yun Che seized the opportunity. With a swift turn, his longsword swung through the air like a dragon, creating a graceful arc as he aimed directly at the black-robed cultivator's head.

The black-robed cultivator was horrified. He tried his best to block Yun Che's attack. But Yun Che's sword light was like a bamboo breaking force, slashing towards his neck with unstoppable force.

With a loud "puff," the black-robed cultivator's head fell to the ground. His body collapsed limply to the ground, his blood staining the surrounding ground red.

Yun Che and Qing Lian smiled at each other. They knew that this trial was finally over. They had successfully obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill and became the focus of everyone's attention.

They walked down the altar and returned along the mountain path. Along the way, they encountered many cultivators who came to congratulate them. Yun Che and Qing Lian smiled and nodded to them, their hearts filled with joy and pride.
