After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

The old man had never seen his sword master look like this before.

In his memory, this adult rarely spoke.

But at this moment, the firelight reflected on Jian Li's face, and his eyes, which had been cold for countless years, shone with a dazzling light.

She stared at the old man, her voice unconsciously rising a few inches.

Tell me more.

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly coughed to calm himself down.

"That Lin Chu is the third young master of the Taixu Lin family."

"It is said that on the day of his birth, spiritual rain fell from the sky, the sound of the Great Dao shook the nine heavens, and the entire Taixu Spirit Realm was alarmed."

He had just broken through to the Earth Immortal realm before entering the Emperor's Path, and was no more than fourteen years old.

"Oh?" Jian Li's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Seeing the surprised look on his sword master's face, the old man became even more cautious.

"He fought his way up from the first floor to the twentieth floor in less than three months. Rumor has it that he comprehended at least two sword dao laws."

"On the twentieth floor, a dragon woman beside him was undergoing the True Immortal Tribulation, and she even condensed a complete Dao of the Blade on the spot."

Jian Li tightened her grip on the roasted meat.

"A dragon woman?" Jian Li asked, her voice trembling slightly.

The old man nodded and quickly added, "His name is Ao Tianxin."

"I heard that Long Yuan, who was born in the Taixu Spirit Realm, is now following Lin Chu around, inseparable from her."

Upon hearing Ao Tianxin's name, Jian Li was momentarily dazed.

Then, she tilted her head back, her eyes almost overflowing with light.

An extremely bright smile slowly bloomed on her face.

"teacher……"

Jian Li murmured softly.

The old man didn't hear clearly and subconsciously asked, "What teacher?"

Jian Li did not answer.

She raised one hand and gently pressed it against her chest.

"What floor are they on now?"

The old man did some mental calculations.

"Well... when I last received the message, it was around the 26th floor. Based on the timeline, it should be on the 27th floor now, or at most the 28th."

Jian Li nodded and slowly stood up.

The firelight cast a long shadow behind her.

A sword appeared in his hand.

The sword was ancient in appearance, and the scabbard was covered with patterns etched by time.

Ancestral Sword.

It was the very weapon that Jiang Yan had left for her back in the Demon Realm.

In fact, given Jian Li's current level of cultivation, she already possesses many better immortal swords.

The divine swords within the Myriad Swords Divine Sect are enough to cause fierce competition among outsiders.

But the one she always held was still this one.

This was left to him by Lin Chu.

Jian Li looked down at the ancestral sword in her hand, and after a moment, turned to the old man.

"I'm going downstairs."

The old man didn't react immediately and asked a question instinctively.

"Go down?"

"Where to go?"

Jian Li did not answer.

His entire body had transformed into an extremely bright sword light, soaring into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon.

The old man stood there, stunned, for a long while before his eyes suddenly widened.

"This...this means we have to go back the way we came?"

Wherever Jian Li's sword light passed, many cultivators who were struggling to move forward looked up, only to see a flash of white light disappear in an instant.

"What just passed by?"

"So fast..."

"It's not a monster, is it?"

"It's not a demonic beast, it's a sword cultivator."

"Sword cultivators? What kind of sword cultivators dare to travel like this on the Emperor's Road?"

It wasn't until the sword light completely disappeared that everyone realized what had happened.

"It's Jian Li!"

"Sword Master? Why is she going down there?"

"No."

Before the discussion had even stopped, Jian Li had already gone far away.

Her eyes were fixed on only one direction.

below.

"Teacher, I'm here."

……

Three months later.

The twenty-ninth floor of the Imperial Road.

In the center of the ruins of an ancient plain.

Lin Chu and his group were standing inside a huge magic array.

The surrounding void writhed continuously, and one after another, strange monsters emerged from the cracks.

These demonic beasts were formed from gray-black malevolent energy and beast-like shapes. After being scattered, they reformed in just a few breaths.

They can't be killed off completely, nor can they be eradicated entirely.

Qi Jun, wielding a long sword, cleaved a three-eyed wolf-shaped demonic beast that pounced upon him in two. Before he could catch his breath, the beast reformed itself not far away.

"When will this ever end?!"

He cursed, but dared not stop what he was doing.

The four women, Liu Ying, Xian Yue, Qing Shuang, and Fu Yao, each occupied a corner, their swords flashing and crisscrossing.

Four sword shadows intertwined to form an impenetrable sword net, tearing a large number of ferocious beasts to shreds.

Ao Tianxin stood in front, each slash of his crescent blade leaving a pale blue line.

Wherever the blade passed, the ferocious beasts crumbled in droves.

Even so, the magic array continued to operate, the cracks continued to expand, and more and more evil beasts emerged.

Lin Chu stood in the center of the formation, his brows furrowed.

He observed the formation while attempting to break it with holy words.

No effect.

The Holy Word spell only held for a few breaths before being broken through by the power of the magic array.

Meanwhile, in another location, a magic array was also in operation.

Two figures were also locked in combat with the constantly resurrecting monsters.

Sikong Jian's sword technique became circular, and no demonic beast could get close to him within ten steps.

Another young man, with dark skin and a resolute face, fought bare-handed. Each punch he threw created a dull spatial tremor, causing the entire horde of demonic beasts to explode in front of him.

The dark-skinned youth punched out a vacuum zone, then turned his head and smiled at Sikong Jian.

"These monsters are troublesome, but as long as we keep at it, breaking the formation is only a matter of time."

Seeing that Sikong didn't speak, the young man shrugged.

At this moment, Lin Chu was forming a hand seal.

The next moment, a layer of clear gold quickly covered the depths of his eyes.

The Nine Syllable Mantra.

"Approaching".

From Lin Chu's perspective, the world instantly became clear, and everything seemed to be reflected in a bright mirror.

These constantly emerging evil beasts, along with every single spiritual energy node of the massive magic array beneath our feet, appeared in our perception with exquisite detail.

"Found it."

Lin Chu moved first.

"Shadowless".

The baby elephant transformed into a sword and made its move.

Several invisible sword lights streaked across the ground without making a sound.

The sword light pierced precisely through three rune nodes.

After a series of extremely faint cracking sounds, the entire magic array suddenly trembled.

"Empty cicada."

The next instant, the figures of the twelve Daoist Lin Chu appeared in the void.

Each of them held a long sword that was transformed from a small elephant.

Sword light fell simultaneously from twelve directions!

The demonic beasts that had just emerged from the void were engulfed by the sword light before they could even lock onto their targets.

boom!

A loud bang.

The entire magic array split open from the center, and several array flags scattered like shredded paper.

"It's broken!" Qi Jun was dumbfounded.

Liu Ying, Xian Yue, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

All told, this is the third law that Lin Chu has revealed on the Emperor's Road.

Ao Tianxin walked to Lin Chu's side, a faint smile on her lips: "How many more are you hiding that you haven't told me?"

Lin Chu blinked: "Take your time."

Ao Tianxin gave a soft snort.

"Let's go, to the next floor."

Lin Chu waved his hand and flew away into the distance.

The others followed.

They flew a short distance and caught a glimpse of people fighting in another magic array in the distance.

The magic array was even larger, with its dark gray malevolent energy surging like a sea.

Lin Chu's gaze swept over the area, and she unconsciously slowed her pace slightly.

Inside the magic array, Sikong Jian held a long sword, his movements elusive and unpredictable.

Each sword strike appeared slow but was actually fast, using the opponent's force to lure the large number of ferocious beasts to both sides.

Beside him, a dark-skinned, resolute-faced young man was throwing punches with his bare hands.

The fists were as heavy as mountains, and the ground trembled with each strike.

The two cooperated tacitly.

While Sikong restrained the beast horde, the young man seized an opportunity and punched through the beast tide.

Beside Lin Chu, Qi Jun also craned his neck to look.

"That's amazing."

Lin Chu nodded.

Those who can fight their way to this level are indeed extraordinary.

Especially that dark-skinned young man.

This person's skill level is no lower than Ao Tianxin's, and his fist technique is also very strange. Every time he throws a punch, there is a strange sense of heaviness, as if the force of an entire mountain range is pressed onto his fist.

There's something there.

Lin Chu only glanced at it twice before looking away.

Along the way, I've met far too many outstanding people.

At this moment, it's just a momentary curiosity.

After Lin Chu and the others left.

Inside the magic circle, Sikong Jian seemed to sense something and raised his head.

I spotted those few streaks of light disappearing into the distance at a glance.

His movements suddenly froze.

Then his expression gradually darkened.

I've been following this for so long.

He risked his life on every floor, but every time he heard news of Lin Chu, it felt like he had been whipped.

We finally caught up.

Now, the other party has once again casually bypassed him.

It even flew right over my head.
