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

Chapter 299 I, Lin Chu, just turned 8 years old, a Golden Immortal

The light shimmered.

When they reappeared, they were already standing deep within the Lin clan's territory.

Lin Lan and Ji Muwan tore through space almost simultaneously and appeared in front of Lin Chu and the others.

"Father, Mother."

Lin Chu bowed slightly.

Lin Zhentian and Ji Hongxuan also arrived.

The two old men landed, and after just one glance, their eyes gleamed.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Lin Zhentian said "good" three times in a row, his smile almost reaching his ears. He had already decided which house to visit next.

Ji Hongxuan's gaze swept over Ao Tianxin, Jian Li, and the others, growing more and more satisfied with each look, before finally settling on Lin Chu.

This kid has startled them again.

"Peak of the Mystic Immortal realm."

"My grandson is amazing."

Lin Lan, who usually kept her emotions hidden, couldn't suppress the smile on her lips this time.

Ji Ning released Lin Chu's hand and ran over.

"Mother!"

Ji Muwan bent down, picked up the little girl, and smiled gently.

"Ning'er".

Ji Ning wrapped her arms around her neck and buried her head in her arms.

Ji Muwan hugged her, turned her gaze to Lin Chu, stepped forward, and reached out to touch him all over.

"My Chu'er has really grown up."

"Mother, I'm not a child anymore."

"In your mother's eyes, you will always be a child."

Ji Muwan's eyes were full of tenderness.

When Lin Chu was sent to the capital, he had just turned fourteen.

Before I knew it, I was eighteen.

They must have suffered a lot.

In recent years, he has grown taller, his shoulders have broadened, and his features have fully matured.

Ji Ning, on the other hand, remains the same as always.

The little girl looked down at her short legs and pouted.

"Brother, why haven't I grown yet?"

Lin Chu's lips twitched upon hearing this.

Back in the Time Realm, this girl had bothered him with this matter quite a bit.

At first, he earnestly explained that the growth cycle of the Elven race might be different from that of the human race.

But the girl wouldn't listen, and kept saying that Sister Qinglian wasn't short either.

Finally, having no other choice, he could only make up a random sentence.

"Jumping more will help you grow taller."

Ji Ning believed it, and Ji Ling also became restless.

For a long time, she would jump around every day after eating the spirit fruit, and make Gun Gun jump along with her.

Sometimes, even when I'm asleep, I'm still kicking my legs in my dreams.

The result was naturally useless; Gun Gun, on the other hand, lost a lot of weight.

"My brother is such a bad guy."

Lin Chu coughed lightly, pretending not to hear.

Lin Zhentian glanced at Lin An and the others, and nodded.

Lin An was very tactful; he bowed and took his leave with his old buddies.

"I'll come find you later."

Lin Zhentian waved his hand.

After everyone had left, he looked at Lin Chu again.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk."

……

While Lin Chu was explaining the details of the Imperial Road to her family, the outside world was in an uproar.

Many old guys who had been loitering in the Imperial Road for thousands of years suddenly appeared in their own families, causing one disturbance after another.

Some who were in seclusion opened their eyes to find themselves back in their caves.

There were also some people who had offended others in the outside world and sought refuge in a secret realm in the Imperial Road, but they were directly thrown back into their enemies' territory.

Lin Chu ran while cursing the dog.

The scene was quite spectacular.

More than anything, there was shock.

"Two months from now, I will temporarily close the Imperial Road."

At the time, not many people took that statement seriously.

As a result, after two months, he was sent back.

Moreover, they were clearly rejected by the entire Imperial Road.

A guess that everyone scoffed at at the time has resurfaced in the minds of many.

Did Lin Chu, who ascended to the forty-ninth floor, truly gain ownership of the Imperial Road?

Once this thought emerged, it spread like wildfire throughout the Nine Realms.

"Impossible! How many years has the Imperial Road existed?"

"Otherwise, how could he have possibly driven everyone out?"

"Is there any other explanation?"

"So that means the Imperial Road will belong to the Lin family from now on?"

"It's Lin Chu."

Amidst the turmoil that swept through the city, the Spirit Realm of the Void was particularly bustling.

Tianlan City soon received news that Lin Chu had returned to the clan's territory.

The whole city was bustling like it was Chinese New Year, and everyone was talking about it.

Over the years, Lin Chu's name has been heard again and again, refreshing everyone's understanding time and time again.

Now that the real deal has returned and caused such a commotion, who can sit still?

As the news spread, many seasoned outsiders immediately sensed an opportunity.

"Go to Tianlan City."

"Now?"

"It will be too late if we wait any longer."

Many powerful figures set off overnight to converge on the Taixu Spirit Realm.

A large number of experts who are rarely seen in normal times have begun to appear in Tianlan City.

Among them were many immortal lords.

The celestial soldiers at the city gate were so busy they barely had time to breathe, while the floating celestial boats outside the city formed long lines.

One after another, visiting cards were sent into the Lin clan's territory like snowflakes, piling up into a mountain.

……

Inside the city of the beginning.

In a refined and elegant mansion.

Yu Qian stood by the window, gazing at the majestic Taichu City outside.

After his ascension, he had another opportunity and is now one of the advisors of the Lord of the Primordial City.

He was somewhat incredulous when he first heard the news about his husband.

But as the information became more detailed, he was able to confirm it.

That Lin Chu is my husband.

Because of Ao Tianxin, Jian Li stayed by his side.

Later, more and more news about Lin Chu emerged, repeatedly refreshing the understanding of the people of the Nine Realms.

Now, even more unbelievable things are circulating, such as the Emperor's Road recognizing a master.

Yu Qian, on the contrary, remained quite calm.

"Isn't it normal for your husband to create miracles?"

He was used to it long ago.

It can even defy life and death.

Is there anything my husband can't do?

He shook his head, a smile appearing on his lips.

Sir, it's been a long time.

……

Deep within the city of Taichu, there was another mansion occupying a vast area.

Qingfu.

The white-haired young man sat at the head of the table, holding a chess piece in his hand and slowly turning it.

"Lord of the Imperial Road".

Qingcang sighed.

At the same time, I also felt somewhat helpless.

"If you live long enough, you'll see all sorts of things."

I had previously thought this kid was a bit strange.

But I never expected it to be so bizarre.

"Although that little girl has a very powerful background, she's definitely not going to be touched right now."

shook his head.

"I just hope this kid won't hold a grudge against me."

……

It was the third day since Lin Chu returned to Tianlan City.

An announcement personally issued by City Lord Lin Lan spread throughout the Nine Realms at an extremely fast pace.

The announcement was very simple.

From this day forward, the Imperial Road shall be the private property of Lin Chu of the Lin family.

No force or individual may enter without permission.

Those who wish to borrow the Imperial Road may come to Tianlan City to discuss it.

In addition, Tianlan City will undergo expansion.

From this day forward, Tianlan City will be the only entrance to the Imperial Road.

All previous road pass tokens are now invalid.

This announcement took the already bustling Nine Realms to an even higher level.

Some people slammed their fists on the table and cursed angrily.

"The Lin family is trying to cut off everyone's path!"

"The Emperor's Path is an opportunity shared by all nine realms; how can it be allowed to be monopolized by one family!"

"Is the Lin family going to make enemies of the entire Nine Realms?"

"This is outrageous!"

"So what if it's the Lin family? Do they really think no one in the Nine Realms can do anything about them?"

Of course, some people have already given up on treatment.

"What's the point of cursing now?"

"If you're so capable, go and argue with the Lin family."

The person who had just been banging on the table immediately fell silent.

theory?

Am I tired of living?

Despite the criticism, very few people actually dare to stand up and publicly make harsh statements.

Many others, however, were silently making their own plans.

Although the Imperial Road is a dangerous place, it also offers many opportunities.

Otherwise, no one would have stayed inside for thousands of years, stuck at the peak of the Xuanxian realm without breaking through.

Previously, you needed a travel permit to get in. Although there were quite a few, the competition was fierce due to the division among various industries and powerful forces.

Although it is nominally in the hands of the Lin family, judging from the meaning of this proclamation, it seems that as long as an agreement can be reached with Tianlan City, there is a possibility of entry.

From this perspective, Tianlan City's move has actually given all parties in the Nine Realms something to look forward to.

From now on, we'll have to be mindful of Lin's feelings.

After calming down, many people finally realized...

"The power structure of the Taixu Spirit Realm is about to change."

……

A month later.

Tianlan City is undergoing rapid expansion.

Outside the city, one after another floating fairy islands were drawn in, and the immortal craftsmanship array operated day and night.

The entire megacity is expanding outwards at a visible rate every day.

On this day, the cultivators in the city were busy as usual.

Suddenly, the sky darkened without warning.

Large swaths of thunderclouds surged in from all directions, enveloping the entire area.
