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

Lin Che came up from the side and slapped Lin Chu on the back.

"Third brother! You made such a loud noise, I almost lost my footing."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Isn't that an exaggeration? Look at the way these people around us are looking at us."

The three brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"Big brother, let me introduce you..."

Just as Lin Chu was about to introduce everyone, Lin Che spoke up.

"I've finished introducing myself to my older brother!"

Lin Chu nodded, but still gave a brief introduction.

"Big brother, this is Jian Li."

"We'll talk about her situation in more detail later."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

"I know everything."

The others also stepped forward one by one to greet Lin Yuan.

The four members of Liuying spoke in a clear and unified voice.

"Greetings, young master."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Lin Chu didn't intend to linger here any longer and spoke up.

"There's nothing left to stay here, let's go."

The group did not linger and walked out of the ruins.

Behind him, those who remained in place all cast their gazes.

"The three Lin brothers..."

"With the Glazed Sword Master and those few, this team can basically roam freely in the middle section of the Imperial Road."

"Don't offend them."

"Nonsense, I'm not stupid."

Many scions of prominent families watched Lin Chu and the others' retreating figures with complex expressions, their hearts filled with growing resentment.

With these three around, the Taixu Lin Clan will likely reach even greater heights in the next tens of thousands of years.

Only after Lin Chu and the others disappeared at the exit did someone slowly exhale a breath of stale air.

"I'm so envious."

"Why wasn't I born into the Lin family?"

A person next to him made a joke.

"Come on, with your talent, it would be a waste even if you were born into the Lin family."

"You son of a bitch..."

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

The air, which had been stagnant for several days, finally eased a bit.

……

The path leading out of the ruins was almost identical to the one leading in.

Lin Yuan walked in the group, his gaze sweeping over each person without making a sound.

Any one of these people, taken out individually and placed on the Imperial Road, would be a figure capable of stirring up a storm.

At this moment, everyone naturally centered their attention around Lin Chu.

Lin Yuan saw this and felt gratified.

It's only been a few years.

That little one from back then has grown up to this point.

Instead of stepping forward, he deliberately lagged behind Lin Chu by half a step.

The group had walked for a short while when they passed through an extremely long corridor.

The baby elephant, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke in Lin Chu's mind.

"Owner!"

Soft, with a hint of urgency.

Since entering the Emperor's Road, the little guy has been unusually silent.

Lin Chu asked her, but she couldn't explain it clearly. She only said that there was an aura in the Imperial Road that she disliked very much and refused to come out no matter what.

Lin Chu let her go.

She was never allowed to take human form again along the way.

Lin Chu stopped abruptly when Lin Chu suddenly spoke.

"Next door! I can smell Ji Ning's scent!"

The baby elephant's voice rang out again, tinged with uncertainty.

"It's very faint, but you can still recognize it!"

Lin Chu's pupils contracted slightly.

Before he could explain to everyone, a golden light shone in his eyes.

The Nine Syllable Mantra, Lin.

The world instantly became clear in my field of vision.

His divine sense spread out like a tide, passing through the wall in front of him and extending deeper into the distance.

After a moment, Lin Chu frowned.

There was indeed a faint aura present.

But it doesn't feel like Ji Ning.

Let's go there first and talk about it later.

However, the buildings in these ruins that have survived to this day are almost all covered with Dao patterns, making them incredibly sturdy.

Destroying the wall directly is impractical.

Lin Chu sensed the direction of the flow of energy, then turned and walked towards a side path.

"Come with me."

Everyone was taken aback.

Lin Che opened his mouth, about to ask a question, but Lin Yuan silenced him with a look.

The group quickly followed.

After passing through several winding paths, we went around a half-collapsed stone wall.

Lin Chu led everyone to a secluded hall.

Before she even got close, Lin Chu recognized the person on the ground at a glance.

She was the little spirit girl who was with Cang Li on the twenty-first floor.

She lay on the ground, her breath so faint it was almost gone.

He was clutching a magatama tightly in one hand.

That aura was Ji Ning's.

Lin Chu stepped forward and turned the person over.

Ao Tianxin stepped out from behind Lin Chu and glanced at Qinglian.

"The one on the twenty-first floor?"

Lin Chu nodded.

She recognized him too.

Liu Ying squatted down, took out a pill, and wanted to hand it to Lin Chu.

Lin Chu shook his head, took out a jade bottle, and poured out a pill that shimmered with a pale gold color.

A divine healing elixir.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as there's still a breath left, this pill can pull a person back from the brink of death.

However, Lin Chu brought quite a lot this time.

He pried open Qinglian's chin and fed her the pill.

The medicine took effect, repairing her internal wounds at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

But the person still didn't wake up.

He was clearly badly injured and hadn't caught his breath yet.

Lin Chu stood up and handed Qinglian to Liuying.

"Take her with you."

"Yes."

Liu Ying and Xian Yue stepped forward and helped Qing Lian up, one on each side.

Qing Shuang and Fu Yao accompanied them on either side.

This little girl is from the Spirit Clan, and she's carrying something that carries Ji Ning's aura.

Lin Chu suppressed her thoughts and led the group to continue walking outside.

Occasionally, a few curious divine senses tried to follow, but before they could get close, they were swept back by Jian Li's sword intent.

The owners of those divine senses turned pale and immediately became obedient.

The ruins were discovered.

There are more people outside than when we arrived.

The Daoist aura that Lin Chu had previously stirred up was quite a commotion, so the cultivators who were originally scattered in various places all gathered here.

Upon seeing Lin Chu and his group emerge, murmurs of discussion arose.

Lin Chu ignored it.

He summoned the phoenix carriage and led the group away.

……

The news that Lin Chu had comprehended another law in the thirty-fifth floor of the ruins had spread like wildfire throughout the Imperial Road.

Twenty-five floors.

Lin An, along with more than twenty experts from the Lin and Ji clans, was listening to the report.

"The three young masters have already met up."

Lin An's eyes were filled with a smile.

"They didn't just bump into each other."

"The Third Young Master has comprehended a new law on the 35th floor!"

"And there's someone with him that you would never expect."

The person next to him was still immersed in the shock of Lin Chu comprehending a new law, and subconsciously replied.

"Who?"

"Master of the Glazed Sword"

"hiss……"

Although I don't know the specifics of the situation.

But that didn't dampen their enthusiasm; they all quickened their pace without prior arrangement.

"quick!"

Lin An lowered his voice a few decibels.

"If the young masters need anything this time, we'll be happy to help."

"yes!"

……

The Thirty-Fiveth Floor of the Imperial Road.

Lin Chu did not rush to go upstairs.

Instead, they found a valley with excellent scenery and stopped there temporarily.

Everyone had just finished their meditation and had gained some insights.

This place is rich in spiritual energy and has the lingering influence of the laws of the Imperial Path, making it perfect for quiet meditation and digestion.

By the way, wait for Qinglian to wake up.

Three days later.

Beside a crystal-clear, spiritual lake.

Lin Chu sat on the shore, holding a fishing rod in her hand, looking relaxed.

Jian Li and Ao Tianxin sat on either side of him.

The lake surface shimmered, and occasionally a gentle breeze would blow, creating ripples.

Lin Chu used his fingers as a sword, slowly drawing them in the void, demonstrating the Human Emperor Sword Technique that he had deduced using the Preaching Stele.

"Watch closely."

Jian Li sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Lin Chu's fingers.

A minimalist sword intent flowed from his fingertips, condensing into fine lines.

"The Human Emperor Sword Technique, in its later stages, is no longer just about sword moves."

Lin Chu spoke while changing her hand gestures.

Jian Li's eyes were incredibly bright.

"You can do it like that!"

"Um."

Lin Chu withdrew his hand and smiled, "You probably don't need the Human Emperor Sword Technique anymore."

"You can try this."

Jian Li nodded repeatedly, unable to hide the surprise on her face.

"Master truly lives up to his reputation!"

"Ask any further questions."

"Thank you, Master!"
