Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

Lin Wan'er was also very excited and carefully put Bai Ling'er down.

Bailing'er blinked in confusion, her eyes swept over Luo Qingchen, Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan, a trace of confusion appeared on her little face, then, she saw the bronze plate emitting faint starlight in Luo Qingchen's hand, and the broken stone bridge in the distance, and her eyes suddenly became clear.

She stretched out her tender little hand, pointed at the stone bridge, and said clearly in a tender but strangely rhythmic voice: "Go... home..."

Bai Ling'er's crisp "Go... home..." was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the hearts of Luo Qingchen, Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan. The three of them were surprised and delighted, and their eyes were all focused on the little girl who had just opened her eyes.

"Ling'er! Are you really awake? That's great!" Su Xiaowan was the first to shout out. Her eyes turned red with excitement. She wanted to rush over and hug her, but was afraid of disturbing her.

Lin Wan'er was also very excited. She carefully supported Bai Ling'er and asked softly, "Ling'er, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Bai Ling'er blinked her clear eyes, and shook her head slightly, seeming a little confused. Her eyes swept across the faces of the three people, and finally fell on the bronze plate of the star map in Luo Qingchen's hand, and the dilapidated ancient stone bridge across the rift valley in the distance. Her little face was no longer ignorant, but was replaced by a tranquility and understanding that was inconsistent with her age.

"Go home." She spoke again, her voice still childish, but with an unquestionable certainty, and her little hand pointed firmly in the direction of the stone bridge.

Luo Qingchen took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. Bailing'er's awakening was undoubtedly the greatest comfort in this difficult journey. More importantly, she seemed to have some kind of instinctive sense of this star map and the way home. He looked at the stone bridge. Most of the bridge was made of huge blue-black stone slabs, but there were many breaks. Some places were only supported by a few thick iron chains. It swayed slightly in the cold wind blowing from the rift valley, as if it would collapse completely at any time. Under the bridge was a bottomless rift valley, and the roar of the dark river could be heard faintly, which was palpitating.

"It seems that this is our only way out." Luo Qingchen said in a deep voice, "But this bridge... I'm afraid it's not easy to cross."

"No matter how hard it is, we have to give it a try!" Su Xiaowan waved her fist. Bailing'er's awakening filled her with energy. "Ling'er said she went home, so that must be true!"

"Let's find a way to get down to the bridge first." Lin Wan'er observed the terrain at the edge of the rift, looking for a way down.

The edge of the rift was extremely steep, with almost no footholds to climb. Luo Qingchen tried to dig at the rock wall with the Black Dragon Sword, but the rock was extremely hard and progress was slow.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Ling'er, who had just woken up, suddenly took a step with her short legs and walked to the edge of the rift. She stretched out her white and tender little hand and gently pressed it on a protruding rock. The leaf mark of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass on her palm lit up slightly, and a circle of soft golden light spread out.

"Ling'er, it's dangerous!" Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan exclaimed at the same time and wanted to hold her back.

However, a strange scene happened. As the golden halo spread, the rock where Bailinger's hand was, as well as the rock wall in a large area around it, seemed to be combed by an invisible force. On the originally steep and smooth rock wall, a series of naturally formed step-like protrusions for footing slowly emerged, extending all the way down, leading to the bridgehead of the broken stone bridge!
"This... this is..." Su Xiaowan was so shocked that she opened her mouth and couldn't speak clearly.

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er were also shocked. They could feel that it was not excavation by brute force, but more like a delicate manipulation of earth and stone elements, as if the earth took the initiative to open up a path for her.

"It seems that after Ling'er woke up, she was not only conscious." Luo Qingchen's eyes flashed, and he became more curious about Bai Ling'er's true identity. This is definitely not an ability that an ordinary human child can possess.

After Bai Ling'er finished all this, her face seemed to be a little pale, but her eyes were still bright. She looked back at the three people, pointed at the stone steps that appeared "automatically", and motioned them to follow.

"Let's go!" Luo Qingchen no longer hesitated and took the lead on the stone steps. Lin Wan'er carried Bai Ling'er on her back - the little girl seemed to have consumed a lot of energy and fell asleep on her shoulder in a daze - while Su Xiaowan followed closely behind.

Although the stone steps were simple, they were stable. The three of them walked down carefully and soon arrived at the bridgehead of the ancient stone bridge. Looking closely, the stone bridge looked even more vicissitudes and dilapidated. The bridge deck was paved with huge stone slabs, many of which had been broken, revealing the bottomless gullies below. The iron ropes connecting the bridge body were rusty and made a "creaking" sound, as if they would break at any time.

"Is this bridge...still walkable?" Su Xiaowan's legs felt weak. She leaned over to look under the bridge and felt dizzy.

"The star map points the way forward. We have no way to retreat." Luo Qingchen's eyes were firm. "We must go forward."

He took a deep breath, raised the power of chaos to the extreme, and was fully alert. He walked in front to explore the way, Lin Wan'er carried Bai Ling'er in the middle, and Su Xiaowan was responsible for the rear, holding the tortoise shell tightly in her hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

As soon as they stepped onto the bridge, a cold and damp breath hit them, mixed with a faint smell of decay. The bridge swayed slightly under their footsteps, and every step was terrifying.

"Crack!" A crack suddenly appeared on the stone slab under Luo Qingchen's feet.

"Be careful!" Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan exclaimed at the same time.

Luo Qingchen reacted very quickly, and with a flick of his body, he floated to a relatively intact stone slab next to him. He looked back at the cracked stone slab, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart.

"Everyone, try to walk along the connection points of the iron cables or on the main structure of the bridge, and avoid those stone slabs that look unstable." Luo Qingchen reminded.

The closer you get to the center of the bridge, the more serious the damage to the bridge deck becomes. At one point, the bridge deck even broke open with a gap several feet wide, with only a few iron cables as thick as your arm connecting the other side.

"How...how can we get through this?" Su Xiaowan looked at the swaying iron chain, her face pale. "If we fall down here, I'm afraid there won't be even a slag left."

Luo Qingchen frowned. These iron chains looked extremely old, and it was unknown whether they could bear the weight of three people.

At this moment, Bai Ling'er on Lin Wan'er's back seemed to sense something again. She opened her eyes dazedly and pointed forward unconsciously. As she moved, the rusty iron chains suddenly glowed with a faint green light, as if a tough wooden surface had grown. The loose iron chains also tightened a lot and looked much more stable.

"Huh? This is..." Su Xiaowan was surprised to find that the iron chains seemed to have really changed.

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Bailing'er's ability seemed to have a strange connection with all things in nature. "I'll go over and try it first!" Luo Qingchen no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, tapped his toes on the bridge, and jumped lightly onto one of the reinforced iron cables. The iron cable only shook slightly, and was unexpectedly stable.

Luo Qingchen successfully passed the fault zone. Then, Lin Wan'er, carrying Bai Ling'er on her back, also walked over carefully. When it was Su Xiaowan's turn, she closed her eyes, muttered something, and almost crawled over with her hands and feet, which made Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er laugh and cry.

"Huh... I'm so scared, so scared!" As soon as Su Xiaowan reached the other side, she collapsed on the ground and patted her chest.

"Okay, stop playing around. We still have a long way to go." Luo Qingchen smiled, feeling relieved in his heart.

We passed the most dangerous fault zone without any trouble. Although the rest of the road was still damaged, there were no fatal gaps at least.

I don’t know how long it took, but when they finally stepped onto the other end of the stone bridge, the view in front of them suddenly opened up.

A fresh scent of grass and trees hit me in the face, which was completely different from the cold and damp feeling in the rift valley. At the end of the bridge was a lush primeval forest. The fog had become very thin, and the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled spots of light. In the distance, the outline of rolling green mountains could be vaguely seen, which roughly matched the direction of the Qingyun Mountains indicated on the star map.

"We... we really made it out!" Su Xiaowan cheered and jumped up from the ground. Her previous fatigue and fear were swept away. "Senior Brother Luo, Sister Wan'er, we are not far from Qingyun Sect!"

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er were also filled with emotion. Although this forest was unfamiliar, the spiritual energy contained in it was obviously purer and richer than any other place they had been before, and it brought a sense of familiarity.

"The Qingyun Mountains should be in that direction." Luo Qingchen took out a bronze star map plate. The stars on the plate were much brighter than before, pointing clearly to the depths of the forest.

"Great! We are finally going home!" Su Xiaowan was so excited that she wanted to cry.

At this moment, Bailing'er suddenly struggled to get off Lin Wan'er's back. She sniffed the air with her little nose, then spread her legs and staggered towards a dense bush at the edge of the forest.

"Ling'er, where are you going?" Su Xiaowan hurriedly followed.

Bai Ling'er stopped in front of a strange plant half a person's height. The plant had several fist-sized, flame-shaped flowers, emitting a faint fragrance. Bai Ling'er stretched out her little hand and carefully picked a flower, then turned around and handed the flower to Luo Qingchen, picked another one and handed it to Lin Wan'er, and finally picked one, held it in her hand, and smiled happily.

Luo Qingchen took the flaming flower and felt a gentle fire attribute energy coming from it, which refreshed him. He recognized that this was a spiritual herb called "Red Flame Flower". Although it was not of high grade, it had a certain effect on restoring spiritual power.

"It seems that Ling'er can not only show the way, but is also an expert in treasure hunting!" Su Xiaowan looked at the red flame flower in Bai Ling'er's hand with sparkling eyes.

Luo Qingchen smiled slightly, the joy in his heart was beyond words. Bailing'er's awakening and the various miracles she displayed added too much hope and surprise to their difficult journey home.

"We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's find a place to rest and recover our spiritual power before making plans." Luo Qingchen said. Although they had temporarily escaped from Mu Qingxuan's pursuit, no one could guarantee that this place was absolutely safe.

Three people and a pet stepped into this primeval forest full of vitality with the relief of surviving the disaster and the vision of the future. They didn't know that a new test might have just begun.

As they entered the forest, the fresh air mixed with the fragrance of soil and plants formed a sharp contrast with the dead silence and coldness of Luofeng Slope. The sun shone through the layers of treetops, casting mottled light and shadows in the forest. The spiritual energy here was several times richer than that of the outside world, making Luo Qingchen and the other two feel comfortable.

"The spiritual energy here is so comfortable!" Su Xiaowan took a deep breath, her face full of satisfaction, "It feels better than the spiritual energy in our sect!"

"This place should belong to the outer area of ​​Qingyun Mountain Range." Luo Qingchen practiced the Primal Chaos Technique, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. His depleted Dantian began to slowly recover like a long drought. The bronze star map in his hand shone brighter and brighter, clearly pointing to a direction.

Lin Wan'er also sat cross-legged and began to regulate her breathing. She had consumed a lot of energy before, and now she needed to recover her fighting strength as soon as possible. Bai Ling'er looked around curiously, occasionally reaching out her little hand to touch this flower, touch that leaf, full of novelty about this vibrant world. She seemed to be able to have some kind of strange communication with these flowers, plants and trees. When she approached, those plants seemed to be more alive.

After resting for several hours, Luo Qingchen's chaotic power recovered by 30% to 40%, and the conditions of Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan also improved a lot.

"Let's continue on our journey." Luo Qingchen stood up, "Let's try to reach Qingyun Gate as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Su Xiaowan nodded vigorously, eager to go home.

The three of them followed the guidance of the star map and walked through the forest. This primeval forest was huge, with towering ancient trees and dense vines. Along the way, they also encountered some low-level monsters, but they were easily dealt with by Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er. Bai Ling'er seemed to have a natural deterrent power against these monsters. Often, when she gave them a look, the monsters would growl uneasily and then run away with their tails between their legs, saving a lot of trouble.

"Ling'er is really our lucky star now!" Su Xiaowan hugged Bailing'er and kissed her pink face. Bailing'er giggled, looking even cuter.

After walking for about half a day, the trees ahead gradually became sparse, and traces of human development could be vaguely seen. Luo Qingchen found a few ashes of a recently extinguished fire under a big tree, and some gnawed animal bones next to them.

"Someone has been here before, and not for long." Luo Qingchen frowned slightly, spread out his spiritual sense, and vigilantly explored the surroundings.

"Will they be the senior brothers and sisters from Qingyun Sect?" Su Xiaowan was a little expectant.

"It's hard to say." Luo Qingchen shook his head, "It's better to be careful." (End of this chapter)
