Chapter 93: Return

After completing the task of reinforcing the seal, Lin Yu dragged his legs as if they were filled with heavy lead, and each step was extremely difficult. Having contended with the chaotic power for a long time and fought ceaselessly at the sealing place, his body was extremely exhausted. Every inch of his muscle ached, and every joint seemed to be rusted. However, his eyes were particularly bright, showing the relief after going through hardships and accomplishing his mission. Looking at the Qingyun Sect faintly visible amidst the mist in the distance, the warmth and peace of returning home were like the warm sun in spring, dispelling the chill and fatigue all over his body.

The closer he got to the Qingyun Sect, the stronger the familiar aura became. Before he even stepped into the mountain gate, the simple and solemn stone gate, engraved with the marks of time, came into view. Lin Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. Scenes of his past cultivation in the sect and chatting with his fellow disciples flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Emotions such as excitement, sentimentality, and nostalgia intertwined, making his eyes slightly red. He involuntarily slowed down, wanting to savor the joy of the upcoming reunion for a while longer. Every breath he took carried the unique sweetness of his hometown, as if gently soothing his weariness from the journey.

At this time, the disciples of the sect had already received the news. Like birds swarming out, they gathered in front of the mountain gate from all corners. They quickly formed two neat rows on both sides of the mountain gate. One by one, they stood on tiptoe, craning their necks and staring intently at the end of the mountain path, eagerly awaiting the return of the hero. The faces of the young disciples were slightly reddened with excitement, and although the older disciples tried to maintain their composure, the anticipation in their eyes was hard to hide. When Lin Yu's slightly embarrassed but extremely determined figure clearly appeared in everyone's sight, a thunderous cheer erupted instantly.

"Senior Brother Lin Yu!" "Lin Yu is back!" The shouts came one after another, like surging waves, echoing continuously in the valley. On the disciples' faces, there was excitement and reverence, which was admiration for the powerful and respect for the hero. Some disciples' eyes sparkled with admiration for Lin Yu's heroic deeds of venturing deep into the chaotic abyss alone, bravely seizing the Heart of Chaos amidst numerous dangers, and successfully reinforcing the seal with his tenacious will. They whispered to each other, full of amazement and curiosity about Lin Yu's experiences. "Senior Brother Lin Yu is so amazing. Just thinking about the chaotic abyss scares me." "Yeah, yet he managed to come back unharmed and complete such a great task." And some disciples straightened their backs, feeling extremely proud, because they were members of the Qingyun Sect, and Lin Yu was their pride and glory, a shining example on their path forward.

Among the crowd, Su Yao had been waiting for a long time. From the moment Lin Yu set off for the chaotic abyss, her heart had been filled with endless worry, as if it was tightly gripped by an invisible hand. Every day, she lived in anxiety. When eating, the food tasted like wax in her mouth, and at night, lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was full of images of the possible dangers Lin Yu might encounter in the chaotic abyss. She silently prayed countless times in her heart, hoping that the heavens would bless Lin Yu to return safely. At this moment, when she finally saw Lin Yu standing in front of her safe and sound, the tears she had been holding back could no longer be controlled and welled up like a flood breaking through a dam.

There were excited tears in her eyes, and her vision was a bit hazy due to the tears. However, she didn't hesitate to rush towards Lin Yu. Her steps were eager and flustered, and she almost tripped over her skirt several times. She desperately threw herself into Lin Yu's arms, hugging him tightly with both hands, clutching his clothes firmly with her fingers as if using all her strength, for fear that if she let go, Lin Yu would disappear again like an illusory bubble. She buried her face in Lin Yu's chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. At this moment, all her worries, fears, and longings turned into surging tears, flowing freely. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she sobbed uncontrollably, murmuring, "You're finally back. I missed you so much..."

Lin Yu also hugged Su Yao tightly, as if embracing the most precious treasure in the world. He could feel Su Yao's body trembling slightly, and her rapid heartbeat was like a rapid drumbeat. The familiar scent of faint floral fragrance on Su Yao lingered at his nose, making all the fatigue and pressure accumulated from the battles and travels in his heart dissipate like smoke at this moment. He gently stroked Su Yao's hair, feeling the smooth touch pass through his fingertips. He whispered softly in her ear, "I'm back. Don't be afraid. I won't make you worry anymore." The gentle words were like the spring breeze, soothing Su Yao's excited emotions. In this warm embrace, Lin Yu clearly realized that all the risks he had taken in the chaotic abyss and the numerous difficulties and challenges he had faced at the sealing place were all worthwhile. This land that had nurtured him and this woman who loved him deeply were the treasures he was willing to protect with all his might. For them, he could without hesitation pay any price, even his life.

In the following days, Lin Yu and Su Yao finally lived the peaceful and happy life they had dreamed of. Every morning, before the first ray of sunlight fully pierced through the clouds, they would go to the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect together to practice. The back mountain was quiet and secluded, surrounded by lush green trees and blooming flowers and plants. The air was filled with the fresh fragrance of plants and trees. The sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, casting dappled light and shadows on them, reflecting two focused and determined figures. They stood facing each other, exchanging skills. As they attacked and defended, spiritual power overflowed and lights flashed. During the practice, they would point out each other's deficiencies, share their insights, and make progress together. Su Yao's agile figure shuttled through the forest, and Lin Yu calmly cast his spells. The two cooperated tacitly, as if they were one.

Besides practicing, they traveled hand in hand. They passed through towering mountains. The continuous mountains were like giant dragons coiling, and the mountain tops were shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. They waded through clear lakes and seas. The lake water sparkled, and the sea was full of surging waves. Every scenery made them intoxicated. In the quiet valley, they sat side by side on a huge stone by the stream, listening to the gurgling sound of the flowing water. The clear and pleasant sound was like a beautiful movement played by nature. They felt the gentle caress of the breeze, breathed in the fresh air, and immersed themselves in the tranquility and beauty of nature. Su Yao would gently pick a wildflower and insert it in Lin Yu's hair. The two looked at each other and smiled, and sweetness spread in the air. In the bustling towns, they walked through the bustling crowds. There were shops lined up on both sides of the street, and the shouts and laughter never stopped. They tasted the local specialties, from soft and sweet pastries to spicy and delicious snacks. Every flavor bloomed with a unique taste on their tongues. As they ate and laughed, they experienced the hustle and bustle of the world and shared every subtle and beautiful moment in life.

Lin Yu knew that his experiences and knowledge in the chaotic abyss were extremely valuable assets for the disciples of the Qingyun Sect. Therefore, he imparted these experiences and knowledge to the disciples of the sect without reservation. On the martial arts field, the sun shone fiercely, illuminating Lin Yu and a group of disciples. Standing on the high platform, Lin Yu looked solemn and serious, and he described in detail the dangers and opportunities in the chaotic abyss. He described the ferocious appearance and powerful strength of the chaotic beasts, as well as the mysterious and unpredictable chaotic power. The disciples listened intently, sometimes showing surprised expressions and sometimes uttering exclamations. He also personally demonstrated the combat skills for dealing with various powerful enemies. His figure was vigorous, and his moves were sharp. Every move contained profound skills. When explaining the application and understanding of the chaotic power, he patiently analyzed its mysteries, using simple and understandable language and vivid metaphors to help the disciples open up new ideas for cultivation. The disciples sat around him, staring intently and raising their questions from time to time. Lin Yu would patiently answer them one by one. There was a look of expectation in his eyes, hoping that under his guidance, the disciples could continue to grow and protect this land they all loved.

Under Lin Yu's careful guidance, the disciples of the Qingyun Sect were like torches that had been ignited, and they all broke through their own bottlenecks. Some disciples who had originally been stagnant on the path of cultivation now had a sudden inspiration, and their spiritual power soared rapidly. Some disciples had made a qualitative leap in their combat skills and could deal with powerful enemies with ease. The entire Qingyun Sect, influenced by him, was full of vitality and striding forward in the direction of greater prosperity. Whether in the cultivation competitions held in the Spirit Realm or when resisting the invasion of foreign enemies in the Cultivation World, the disciples of the Qingyun Sect had demonstrated their powerful strength and tenacious spirit and had become the backbone of the Spirit Realm and the Cultivation World. And Lin Yu's name was also passed on from mouth to mouth in this vast world, becoming an immortal legend.
