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

The news that Lin Chu had broken through to the Golden Immortal realm at the age of eighteen spread quickly.

If there were some sarcastic remarks before that said it was "just good luck," then this time, there's nothing left to say.

Jin Xian, who is eighteen years old.

What does that mean?

Searching through all the recorded history books in the Taixu Spirit Realm, the youngest Golden Immortal was at least thirty years old.

That senior who broke through to the next realm at the age of thirty is now one of the few remaining beings in the Primordial Realm in the Nine Realms.

Those are the figures who stand at the very top of all the heavens.

The news naturally reached Taichu City immediately.

During this period of time, the discussions about Lin Chu in Taichu City have never stopped.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Xiao Zhige put down the jade slip in his hand, a look of shock appearing on his rugged face.

Eighteen years old.

He smacked his lips.

"That kid is a real freak."

"We need to find a time to have Lin Wujiu bring him to Taichu City for some training."

Such a promising talent shouldn't be wasted halfway through.

Who knows, ten thousand years later, another Primordial Realm expert will be presiding over all the heavens.

Amidst the shock of all parties.

The others in Tianlan City were already numb.

It wasn't an act.

Indeed, over the years, ever since Lin Chu embarked on the path to becoming an emperor, news of him has come every now and then.

Each one is more outrageous than the last.

Now that people say Lin Chu broke through to the Golden Immortal realm at the age of eighteen, it doesn't seem so unacceptable anymore.

"I'm used to it."

"A little."

"Even if the Third Young Master were to cause a huge mess, I'd think it would be normal."

This is a true reflection of what everyone in Tianlan City has been feeling lately.

Thus, this news, which should have shaken the Nine Realms, only caused a small ripple in Tianlan City before being quickly overshadowed by another matter.

What everyone is more interested in is the one who followed Lin Chu back to Tianlan City.

The master of the Glazed Sword, Jian Li.

This is the precious darling of the Origin Spirit Realm. Ever since he was brought back by the Third Young Master, he has been following Lin Chu around almost every day.

He kept referring to himself as "Master".

But anyone with eyes could tell something was wrong with that look.

Many people were discussing it animatedly in private.

"This shows that filial piety has gone awry."

"Tsk tsk, the way the Glazed Sword Master looks at the Third Young Master, it's like a pool of spring water is about to overflow."

"What do you know? That's called a deep bond between master and disciple."

"I have a friend whose relationship with her master is quite different."

"Do you have a friend?"

"cough."

The female cultivators in Tianlan City had much simpler ideas.

They naturally had no objections to Jian Li and Lin Chu's relationship, and even secretly envied them.

After all, the name of the Master of the Glazed Sword is very well-known throughout the Nine Realms.

In terms of looks, talent, and background, they are among the very best.

In their eyes, it's only normal for someone like that to be paired with Lin Chu.

"If I could stay by the side of someone as extraordinary as the Third Young Master, I would admire him every day."

"You should work on making Jian Li's face grow longer first."

"So what if he's good-looking? The Third Young Master isn't someone who only cares about looks."

"Do you even believe what you're saying?"

"letter."

"Pooh."

As a result, Jian Li had an excellent reputation in the city.

But this greatly worried the Primordial Spirit Realm.

It is said that the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect has already set off from the Origin Spirit Realm and is heading this way.

"For Jian Li?"

"Otherwise what? Our sect's precious darling has run off to someone else's place and isn't coming back. How could we not be worried?"

"Looks like this is going to be interesting."

Such discussions continued for a long time.

But Ao Tianxin is different.

Many people secretly said she was lucky.

Although Longyuan is considered one of the top powers in the Taixu Spirit Realm, it is ultimately not on the same level as the Lin family.

Not to mention, Ao Tianxin came from the Ao clan, which was the weakest of the four clans in Longyuan. It was only after Ao Tianxin followed Lin Chu that the clan rose to prominence.

Although the various opinions were not made public, they were still widely discussed.

Lin Chu heard this and was both amused and exasperated.

Ao Tianxin didn't care about any of this and pretended not to hear it.

She has weathered every storm in her life.

However, those undercurrents of doubt quickly came to an abrupt end.

One month after Lin Chu broke through to the Golden Immortal realm.

The sky above Tianlan City was once again shrouded in calamity clouds.

Ao Tianxin broke through to the Golden Immortal realm.

As the news spread, the people in Tianlan City who were previously gossipy instantly changed their tune.

"See? I told you long ago, how could there be any mortals by the young master's side?"

"A perfect match, handsome man and beautiful woman!"

"Although she can't compare to the young master, Miss Ao is still quite young and can be considered excellent."

Lin Chu was feeding Gun Gun with spirit bamboo when she heard these things.

Gun Gun is very picky now; he won't even glance at anything that isn't a purple-veined spirit bamboo that's at least ten thousand years old.

Listening to Liu Ying vividly recount the gossip outside, Lin Chu's lips twitched.

"These people, are they learning face-changing?"

Ao Tianxin sat next to him, peeling a spiritual fruit with her slender fingers and casually offering it to Lin Chu's lips.

"That's how people have always been, so what's there to care about?"

Her tone was calm, but a hint of a smile lingered in her eyes.

She didn't care about people gossiping, but this feeling was not bad either.

Lin Chu opened her mouth and bit into the spirit fruit, speaking indistinctly.

So, are you happy or unhappy?

Ao Tianxin looked up: "What do you think?"

Lin Chu chuckled.

Jian Li sat opposite, resting her chin on her hands, watching this scene in a daze.

"Jian Li," Lin Chu called to her.

"What are you thinking about?"

No, no.

Jian Li chuckled and quickly shook her head.

Seeing her guilty look, Lin Chu didn't expose her.

He actually knew what the girl was thinking.

Her main cultivation method is quite special. To break through to the Golden Immortal realm, she needs to return to the Myriad Swords Divine Sect and enter its exclusive secret realm to maximize her benefits.

But she couldn't bear to leave now.

If I leave this time, I don't know how long I'll be separated from Lin Chu.

Lin Chu went with her.

For Jian Li, the Golden Immortal Tribulation was only a matter of time.

……

During this period, Tianlan City has become increasingly lively.

Outside the city, floating fairy boats formed a long line.

All factions were waiting for the Lin family to summon them, wanting to discuss matters concerning the Imperial Road.

Previously, the Imperial Road had always existed and could be entered at any time. Although people knew it was precious, they were not in a hurry to enter.

Now that the Imperial Road has been breached, I'm beginning to realize that this thing is far more important than I imagined.

The leaders of those powerful forces, in particular, were extremely worried.

How important is the Imperial Road for nurturing the next generation?

It can be said that 90% of the cultivators in the Nine Realms comprehend their first Law on the Emperor's Path.

After all, only one in ten thousand can touch the laws of nature through their own comprehension alone.

The Lin family's status in Tianlan City was already at the pinnacle of the Taixu Spirit Realm, and now it even seems to be showing signs of surpassing the Taixu Dao Sect.

The Taixu Dao Sect has been closed to visitors for several days.

Rumors circulated that Sikong Jian had gone into seclusion after returning from the imperial journey, seemingly suffering a great blow.

Lin Chu heard about these rumors but didn't pay much attention to them.

At that moment, he was sitting in his courtyard drinking tea.

Yu Sheng entered from outside and bowed.

"Young Master."

Lin Chu raised her chin: "Sit."

Instead of sitting down, Yu Sheng took out a jade slip from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"I have recently found a group of children in several remote and desolate worlds."

"They are all very young, but they have exceptional natural talent and no family background."

"I've seen them myself; they're all people who can endure hardship."
