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

Lin Chu waved his hand.

"Uncle An, what are you saying?"

"You've already done a great job to reach the forty-second floor."

Lin An suddenly recalled the words that had come from the void during the fierce battle.

I simply didn't have time to think about it at the time.

Now, calm down and think about how Lin Chu suddenly transported me to this place.

Lin An's mouth opened wider and wider.

"Third Young Master, you..."

Lin Chu was prepared and spoke calmly.

"After I reached the summit, the Imperial Road recognized me as its master."

After he finished speaking, all around him fell silent.

Several elderly people behind him stared wide-eyed.

An old retainer of the Ji family gasped in shock and almost lost his balance.

"The Imperial Path...has it recognized its master?"

"This...this...this..."

"Such a niche vocabulary."

"Third Young Master, you're not joking, are you?"

Lin Chu smiled and raised her hand.

The surrounding spiritual energy rippled gently.

Several branches of towering trees in the distance automatically extended over, supporting a few people who were about to lose their footing.

Once this trick was revealed, no one doubted it anymore.

With their keen eyesight, they could naturally see that Lin Chu's control over this space had reached the point where he could use his own limbs with ease.

Lin An murmured.

"Our Lin family..."

"This time, things are really going to change."

The elderly men behind him exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what expression to make.

Lin Chu's expression was gentle, and he didn't say much more about the topic.

"Uncle An, Tianxin and the others are still cultivating in the secret realm. Judging by the time, it will take about two more months."

"You will rest here for the next two months."

"When the time comes, you will all come out with me."

Lin An was still in a daze, but nodded subconsciously.

"well."

He turned his gaze back to Lin Chu and examined her carefully.

Then, it froze again.

"Third Young Master, your cultivation level..."

"Mysterious Immortal".

Lin Chu spoke in a flat tone.

Everyone was in a daze again.

Mysterious Immortal.

Before entering the Emperor's Path, wasn't the Third Young Master a terrestrial immortal? It's only been a few years.

This speed is unheard of, let alone seen.

"Since the Emperor's Path has already recognized a master, there's nothing surprising about this anymore."

Everyone gave a wry smile.

Lin Chu then asked Lin An about what had happened in the outside world during this period.

Lin An answered each question.

Lin Yuan was taken to Taichu City by the Ancestor.

Hearing this, Lin Chu nodded.

With the ancestor around, the split soul within my elder brother's body should be fine.

Then Sikong Jian was mentioned again.

"After Sikong Jian returned to the Taixu Dao Sect, his personality changed drastically."

"Now I stay indoors all day and don't see anyone."

"Of course, this is what we found out. The Taixu Dao Sect only said to the outside world that they were in seclusion."

Lin Chu hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions.

The photo was taken; Sikong Jian has probably already seen it.

I've done everything I was supposed to do; the rest is beyond my control.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Chu gave some instructions and then turned and entered the Time Secret Realm.

Two months is just a short time for Lin An and the others to meditate.

……

Two months later.

The light gate trembled slightly.

One by one, figures slowly emerged from the secret realm.

The first four sword servants to emerge had their auras concealed, like swords hidden in their sheaths.

Peak of the Mystic Immortal realm.

Not one was missing.

Then there's Ao Tianxin.

Although both were at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, their auras were stronger than those of the four women.

Finally, Lin Chu led Ji Ning and Jian Li, who followed closely behind.

The girl stood obediently beside Lin Chu, her eyes never leaving him.

The elderly men exchanged glances and swallowed hard.

Damn it, are Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) cultivators as common as cabbages? And they're all at their peak!

His gaze swept over the four of them, and his heart was in turmoil.

Each of the four sword attendants has condensed a complete set of sword dao laws.

In any faction, this person would be treated as a core talent and nurtured.

And yet, this person was merely Lin Chu's maid.

Upon seeing Jian Li, even though he was mentally prepared, his eyes still widened in surprise.

"The Master of the Glazed Sword..."

"Really...?"

"Like a timid, submissive wife."

Jian Li heard it, but only slightly curled the corner of her lips, pretending not to hear.

Lin Chu was used to being misunderstood and was too lazy to explain, so she nodded to everyone.

"Everyone, it's time for us to go out."

Lin An quickly responded.

Lin Chu, holding Ji Ning's hand, suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Jian Li.

"Sword Glass".

"Um?"

"Are you sure you don't want to go back to the Primordial Spirit Realm first?"

Without even thinking, Jian Li shook her head vigorously.

"No, no!"

"We'll talk about it later!"

After saying that, she frowned as if afraid that Lin Chu would bring it up again.

"Master, you're not going to send me away, are you?"

His tone was aggrieved, and his eyes were pleading.

Lin Chu chuckled and gently tapped her forehead with her hand.

"Don't pretend."

Jian Li stuck out her tongue.

"Master, shall we go home?"

Lin Chu nodded slightly and waved his hand.

The void in front of him rippled gently, and a portal of light condensed into shape, almost identical to the gateway on the first level of the Emperor's Road.

"It's time to go."

He took Ji Ning's hand and was about to take a step when he paused.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Lin Chu raised her head, a glint of gold shining in her eyes.

With a thought, the entire towering tree trembled slightly.

The next moment, beams of light shot up from each floor.

Those cultivators who remained on the Emperor's Road to cultivate, search for treasures, hide, or observe were all enveloped by an irresistible force at the same time.

There was no time to react. When they opened their eyes again, they were back in the place where they had been before they stepped onto the Emperor's Road.

Some returned to the back mountain of their own sect, while others slumped down in the secret room they had set off from.

Many more people simply appeared out of nowhere in an open space.

Everyone was stunned.

Seeing Lin Chu suddenly stop, Ji Ning looked up and asked.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Lin Chu looked down at her and said with a smile.

"It's nothing."

"My brother simply cleared everyone out of the Imperial Road."

Lin An stood behind, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

He knew what Lin Chu had done.

But it's precisely because I know that it feels even more unreal.

There are countless people along the entire Imperial Road.

There are even countless old guys who have been entrenched on each floor for thousands of years.

The third young master of our family sent all the people away without saying a word?

Jian Li narrowed her eyes, her lips curling up in a wide smile.

Ao Tianxin pursed her lips, her gaze towards Lin Chu flickering slightly.

This young man is usually very approachable and never puts on airs; in fact, he can be described as quite gentle.

But deep down, there is still a strong sense of assertiveness.

They do everything they can to protect their own people, but never give outsiders a second thought.

They'll clear out what needs to be cleared out, and they'll leave when it's time to leave, without even asking if you're willing.

But it was precisely this aspect of Lin Chu that made her find her even more charming.
