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

Chapter 81: Trial in the Misty Forest

The Misty Forest, like a gigantic maze, devoured every living being that entered it. Yun Che and his companions stood at the edge of the forest, their gazes solemnly gazing at the ancient forest shrouded in thick fog ahead.

“It is said that the Misty Forest hides countless precious cultivation resources and secret manuals, but it is also filled with unknown dangers.” Yun Che said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve.

"No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we must move forward bravely." Ling Xuewu tightly gripped the sword in her hand, her tone full of heroism.

"That's right, we are a team and we must face challenges together." Lin Yixuan also nodded, his eyes revealing determination.

“Then let’s go!” Yun Che gave the order, and the four of them stepped into the misty forest.

As they entered the forest, a thick fog rolled in, limiting their vision to a few meters. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.

“Everyone, be careful. There may be traps here.” Yun Che warned. As he walked, he used his spiritual power to sense the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a deafening roar broke the silence, and a huge monster rushed out of the thick fog and headed straight towards them.

The monster looked like a lion, but was several times larger than a lion. Its body was covered with black scales, and its eyes flashed with cruelty.

“Be careful!” Yun Che shouted, and at the same time swung the long sword in his hand. A sharp sword light flew straight towards the monster beast.

The monster seemed to see through his movements and dodged the sword light with a flick of its body. Then, it opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of scorching flames.

The flames surged like a tide, and Yun Che and the others hurried to avoid them. However, the flames were so fast that they could only barely avoid them, but they were still hit by the aftermath, and their clothes were instantly singed.

“This demon beast is quite powerful. Everyone should be careful when dealing with it.” Yun Che dodged the demon beast’s attacks while observing its movements.

“Ling Xuewu, attack it from the side to draw its attention. Lin Yixuan, sneak attack from behind.” Yun Che quickly formulated a strategy.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuewu flashed and rushed towards the monster from the side. She swung the long sword in her hand like lightning, and the sword light shot out in all directions, heading straight for the monster's vital points.

The monster's attention was drawn, and with a roar, it turned and pounced on Ling Xuewu. However, the moment it turned, Lin Yixuan attacked from behind, with a sharp sword energy heading straight for its back.

The monster screamed miserably as a deep wound was cut open on its body. However, it did not retreat, but attacked even more violently.

Upon seeing this, Yun Che immediately joined the battle. His figure was as swift as the wind, moving swiftly around the monster, searching for an opportunity to attack.

Suddenly, he discovered that the monster's eyes were its weakness. So, he shouted loudly, leaped up, and headed straight for the monster's eyes.

The monster seemed to sense danger and hurriedly closed its eyes. However, Yun Che was extremely fast, and his long sword had already pierced the monster's eyes like lightning.

The monster screamed miserably, its body trembling violently. Finally, it collapsed to the ground helplessly, its blood staining the surrounding ground red.

“Huh, it’s finally solved.” Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Is everyone okay?" Ling Xuewu asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just suffered some minor injuries." Lin Yixuan shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

“Let’s leave here quickly. There may be other dangers here.” Yun Che warned.

The four continued on their journey, and indeed encountered many traps and traps. However, with their wisdom and courage, they successfully avoided all the traps and continued to go deeper into the forest.

After walking for a while, they came to an open meadow covered with exotic flowers and plants, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

"Why is there such a grassland here?" Ling Xuewu looked around curiously.

“I don’t know, but there might be some secret hidden here.” Yun Che observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Suddenly, they found a glittering treasure chest on the grass. The treasure chest was engraved with complex runes and emitted an alluring light.

"There may be something good in the treasure chest." Lin Yixuan couldn't help but want to go forward and open the treasure chest.

“Wait, there might be a trap here.” Yun Che stopped him and used his spiritual power to sense the situation around the treasure chest.

Sure enough, he found that the treasure chest was surrounded by invisible traps. Once the treasure chest was touched, the trap would be triggered.

“It seems we need to find a way to open the treasure chest instead of just touching it.” Yun Che pondered.

"We can wrap our hands with spiritual power and then touch the treasure chest." Ling Xuewu suggested.

“Good idea.” Yun Che nodded and immediately wrapped his hand with spiritual energy.

He carefully touched the treasure chest, and sure enough, he didn't trigger the trap. The lid of the treasure chest slowly opened, revealing an ancient secret book and a bottle of elixir emitting rich spiritual energy.

“This is… ‘Tian Gang Sword Technique’ and ‘Nervous Concentration Pill’!” Yun Che exclaimed in surprise.

"Tiangang Sword Technique? Isn't this a long-lost sword technique?" Ling Xuewu also showed a look of surprise.

"That's right, this secret book is priceless. And the Mind-Concentrating Pill is a pill that can improve one's cultivation level. It is extremely precious." Lin Yixuan couldn't help but sigh.

“We really made a killing this time.” Yun Che put the secret manual and elixir into his arms, a joyful smile on his face.

However, at this moment, they suddenly felt a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation coming from all around. Then, four mysterious men in black robes appeared in front of them.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” Yun Che looked at the mysterious man in front of him warily.

"Hmph, we are the guardians of the Misty Forest. You trespassed into the Misty Forest and stole our treasures. Your crimes are unforgivable!" One of the mysterious men sneered.

"Treasure? Are you talking about this secret book and elixir? We obtained these through our own trials, how can they become your treasures?" Ling Xuewu retorted.

"No matter how you got it, everything here belongs to our Misty Forest. You must leave the treasure and get out of here!" another mysterious man threatened.

“Hmph, if you want us to keep our treasure, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!” Yun Che snorted coldly and drew his sword.

The four mysterious men immediately drew their weapons and confronted Yun Che and the others.

The battle was about to break out. Yun Che and his companions, relying on their superb swordsmanship and tacit cooperation, engaged in a fierce battle with the four mysterious men.

However, the strength of these four mysterious people was not simple. Not only did they possess powerful spiritual power, they also mastered various strange martial arts. Yun Che and others were temporarily caught in a difficult battle.

“This isn’t a solution. We must find a way to break their offensive.” Yun Che searched for a breakthrough while fighting.

“Ling Xuewu, you attack from the side to draw their attention. Lin Yixuan, you sneak attack from behind. I’ll contain them from the front.” Yun Che quickly formulated a strategy.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuewu and Lin Yixuan immediately followed Yun Che's instructions. They moved swiftly across the battlefield like the wind, searching for opportunities to attack.

Yun Che, brandishing his longsword, engaged in a fierce battle with the four mysterious men. His swordsmanship was sharp and ferocious, with each strike aiming straight at the enemy's vital points.

However, the four mysterious individuals seemed to have seen through his movements and were always able to respond in advance. Their martial arts were strange and powerful, making Yun Che feel very difficult.

At this moment, Ling Xuewu launched an attack from the side. She swung the long sword in her hand like lightning, and the sword light shot out in all directions, heading straight for the mysterious man's vital points.

The mysterious people were indeed drawn to the attack, and they all turned to deal with Ling Xuewu's attack. However, the moment they turned around, Lin Yixuan attacked from behind, and a sharp sword energy went straight to their backs.

The mysterious people screamed in agony as deep wounds were cut into their bodies. However, they did not retreat, but attacked even more violently.

Seeing this, Yun Che immediately seized his opportunity. He leaped up and charged straight for the vitals of one of the mysterious men. His longsword pierced through the air like lightning, heading straight for the mysterious man's heart.

The mysterious man yelled in fear and tried to dodge. However, Yun Che was extremely fast, and his sword had already pierced the mysterious man's heart like lightning.

The mysterious man screamed and fell to the ground. The other three mysterious men were terrified and wanted to escape.

However, Yun Che and the others didn't give them a chance to escape. They moved like the wind, quickly chasing the three mysterious men. After a fierce battle, they finally defeated all three.

“Huh, it’s finally over.” Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Let's leave here quickly, there may be other dangers here." Ling Xuewu reminded.

The four continued on their way and indeed encountered many traps. However, relying on their previous experience, they successfully avoided all the traps.

After walking for a while, they came to a quiet valley where all kinds of exotic plants grew and the air was filled with fresh air.

"This is such a great place." Lin Yixuan exclaimed.

“Yes, the spiritual energy here is also very rich. We can practice here for a while.” Yun Che also nodded.

So, the four of them found a flat spot in the valley and began to practice. They sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and concentrated, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy into their bodies.

As the spiritual energy continued to flow in, their cultivation continued to improve. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only the spiritual power in their bodies continued to surge.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally finished their training. At this point, their cultivation had significantly improved.

"How do you feel?" Yun Che looked at his companions and asked with concern.

"Very good, my cultivation has improved a lot." Ling Xuewu said with a smile.

"Me too. I feel like my strength has increased a lot." Lin Yixuan also nodded.

“It seems our trial isn’t over yet. There may be more challenges waiting for us ahead.” Yun Che said with a firm gaze.

"It doesn't matter. We are a team. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can overcome them together." Ling Xuewu gripped the sword tightly in her hand, her tone full of pride.

"That's right, as long as we work together, nothing can stop us from moving forward." Lin Yixuan also echoed.

The four continued on their journey, and indeed encountered many challenges. With their wisdom and courage, they successfully overcame all difficulties and continued to go deeper into the misty forest.
