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

Inside the imperial carriage.

Lin Chu leaned back on the soft couch.

Ao Tianxin and Jian Li were sitting on the other side, talking about their experiences after ascending to immortality.

From his own cultivation in Longyuan, to the arrival of people from Taichu City, and then to Lin Chu leading Ji Ning into the Emperor's Road.

"I wish I had ascended to the Spirit Realm of the Void back then."

Jian Li muttered under her breath, her tone full of frustration.

"Maybe I'll meet my master sooner, and then..."

Halfway through her sentence, her thoughts wandered off somewhere, and her expression gradually became strange.

A smile slowly crept onto his lips.

He chuckled silently.

Lin Chu sat to the side, somewhat helpless.

This girl, she's already a sword master, how come she's still so silly?

He snapped his fingers.

Jian Li snapped back to reality.

"What are you thinking about!"

"N-No!"

Jian Li chuckled twice, then quickly composed himself.

Lin Chu sorted out her thoughts.

Are you familiar with the current sect leader of the Wushi Dao Sect?

Upon hearing this, Jian Li's expression became much more serious.

"Is Master referring to Master Chen?"

"Um."

"Of course I know."

Jian Li pondered for a moment, as if recalling something.

"I once saw him from afar. Although it was hundreds of years ago, apart from the name, his appearance was almost exactly the same as the Lord of Shangqing Domain that we saw in Xuantian Realm."

Lin Chu and Ao Tianxin exchanged a glance.

Sure enough.

"Moreover," Jian Li added, "he had already attained the Dao of Immortal Emperor several hundred years ago."

Lin Chu slowly opened her eyes wide.

He truly is an Immortal Emperor.

Mr. Chen... Dao Ancestor... Divided Soul.

He reached up and rubbed his temples.

More and more information is mixed together, like a tangled mess in my mind.

Ultimately, it comes down to my own lack of cultivation.

If you can stand at a higher vantage point, many things will become clear.

Lin Chu took a deep breath and suppressed her distracting thoughts.

"Full speed ahead."

Outside the curtain, the phoenix raised its head and cried out, and the speed of the phoenix carriage suddenly increased, turning into a streak of light and rushing towards the end.

After calming down, he turned to Jian Li.

How much do you know about the hidden realms along this path?

Jian Li shook her head.

"I've seen most of the places."

"Master, just tell me what you want. There's no need for further exploration."

Lin Chu was amused by her words.

"Fine, so I'm now living off my disciple's money."

Jian Li declared matter-of-factly, "What's mine is my master's."

Lin Chu was both amused and exasperated.

But there's really nothing wrong with it.

With Jian Li by my side, things were indeed much easier along the way.

The Imperial Road is a place where talent and experience are essential.

Jian Li, alone with her sword, walked back and forth twice. She knew clearly in her heart where each level was a dead end and where danger lurked.

As a result, the group traveled at an extremely fast pace over the next few days.

In less than ten days, they reached the thirty-second floor.

They just didn't run into Sikong Jian and Ye Chen on the way.

Not surprising.

The imperial road is extremely vast, and even the roads leading to the same level are often several, and once they diverge, it is difficult to meet them again.

Upon reaching the thirty-second floor, Lin Che took out the jade token that connected him with Lin Yuan.

There was no response after the prompt was made.

The group searched the 32nd floor but could not sense Lin Yuan's presence.

"Big brother should have gone up." Lin Che put away the jade pendant.

Lin Chu nodded and led the way to a higher floor.

……

At this moment, the first level of the Imperial Road became extremely lively.

When Qi Jun brought back news of Lin Chu and the others' discovery of the Soul Devouring Clan on the thirtieth floor, the entire Taixu Spirit Realm was shaken.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Many forces were immediately alarmed.

Their precious darlings are all in the Imperial Road; each one represents the clan's hope for the next tens of thousands of years.

The news spread up the chain of command, eventually reaching even the city of Taichu.

Ultimately, within just a few days, a large number of forces began to converge on the first floor of the Imperial Road.

They were all at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, and had remained at this level for who knows how many years.

Each one of them is a top-tier veteran.

Among them, the Lin and Ji families arrived together, with more than 20 people in total.

The leader of the group was a gaunt old man named Lin An, an elder from a collateral branch of the Lin family.

He may never achieve a breakthrough in his lifetime, but he has a wealth of combat experience.

Standing before the imperial stele, I looked up.

Lin Chu and Lin Che's names are already hanging on the thirty-third floor.

Lin Yuan was on the thirty-fifth floor.

Lin An stroked his beard, his cloudy old eyes filled with satisfaction.

"well."

"Our Lin family of this generation is truly remarkable."

Everyone agreed that the Lin family had three outstanding talents in this generation.

Especially Lin Chu.

She was only fourteen years old.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master," Lin An murmured softly.

"At this rate, in ten thousand years, I'm afraid I might not even be able to sit on the seat of the city lord of Taichu City."

Several elderly men around him echoed his sentiments.

The name Lin Chu is now known not only within the Imperial Road.

The rankings on the Imperial Stele are being monitored in real time by various major powers, and any changes will be reported back to the Nine Realms.

At fourteen years old, he reached the Celestial Immortal Realm, level thirty-three, and wielded multiple laws.

This information alone is enough to send chills down the spines of countless forces.

It's important to understand that the ranking of the Imperial Stele is always determined by an individual's overall potential, not by which level you climb to determine your position.

Even if a strong person leads you up, you may not be able to leave a commensurate ranking on the monument.

For example, Yu Sheng, although he followed Lin Chu and others all the way to the twenty-sixth floor, his ranking on the Emperor's Stele was only twenty-first.

However, some people privately discussed: "Could this Lin Chu be an ancient powerful being who reincarnated through a magical means?"

But these words were quickly suppressed by another group of people who scoffed at them.

"joke."

"That's the Taixu Lin Clan."

"At least two Celestial Emperors are stationed here."

"You're telling me you won't notice any signs of someone usurping your place?"

"Too."

"So this Lin Chu is simply a monster."

Upon hearing this, those who had been pondering the "reincarnation" fell silent.

Yes, that's the Lin family.

Trying to make a fuss about something from such a behemoth is futile, even if you were an ancient and powerful being.

"It seems that the old saying is true."

Someone whispered.

"In times of great strife, monsters and demons will inevitably emerge."

Of course, all parties have not yet fully digested the shock brought about by Lin Chu.

Another matter then alarmed the entire first floor of the Imperial Road.

Cang Li.

This young master of Longyuan, who had received little attention, suddenly leaped up and appeared on the forty-fourth floor.

The imperial stele shone with golden light, and at the very top, after Cang Li's name, hung a striking "44".

What's even more jaw-dropping is the existence of someone called "Ji Ling".

The forty-ninth floor.

It is three levels higher than the highest record ever set by Dilu, "forty-six".

"Who the hell is this?"

"I'm afraid something terrible has happened inside."

The imperial path is likely about to change.
