The Peerless Emperor

Lin Qian held a golden communication token in his hand, developed by the Heavenly Art Department and crafted by the Fire Department. It was the same communication token that Ye Xin had given to the three elders.

In fact, not long after Lin Qian descended into the underground world, the three elders had also received the token from Ye Xin. Upon knowing the situation, they hurriedly rushed over to protect him in secret.

After all, Lin Qian's safety was of utmost importance. As the elders made their way, they couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

In their view, what was Lin Qian doing abandoning his role as the Emperor and venturing into the underground world for adventure and training? Couldn't such tasks be delegated to subordinates?

But Lin Qian, with the temperament of a young man, naturally wanted to thoroughly explore this unknown world. Moreover, he was still vastly dissatisfied with his own strength and hoped to improve quickly, eager to reach the Awakening Realm.

Only by reaching the Awakening Realm could Lin Qian have the means to go to the Central Domain and search for his parents.

There was also another most important reason. In the Huaxia Empire, the lowest-ranking military generals and War Beast Generals were at the Awakening Realm!

Only if Lin Qian reached the Awakening Realm could the lowest-ranking generals and War Beast Generals pass through Sky Trace without imposing a tremendous burden on his body or causing irreparable harm.

With the presence of military generals and War Beast Generals, the combat power of the Imperial Army and the War Beast Army would see a significant enhancement compared to before.

The existence of both military generals and War Beast Generals would boost the morale of both the Imperial Army and the War Beast Army, and would also enhance their composite attributes, fully unleashing the true strength of the Huaxia Army.

Only then would the true combat power of the Huaxia Empire be fully realized, showing the various forces of the Human Clan and other races in the world what an invincible force was and what a real army looked like!

Returning to our story, the three elders Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yian, and Yang Guixiang followed behind Lin Qian, advancing into this underground world through the cave with relative ease at first.

However, when they emerged, they found themselves in a completely different place from Lin Qian.

The area was teeming with Soul Beasts of the Awakening Realm, ferociously incomparable.

In reality, they had already arrived in the underground world, but their appearance had immediately alerted several Awakening Realm Soul Beasts, who charged at them aggressively.

After a fierce battle, the three elders finally found the time to contact Lin Qian and inform him of the specific situation.

According to the message in the communication token, the three elders had indeed arrived in this underground world.

The odd Fire Fruits and golden-winged small birds hanging from vines on the dome of this underground world illuminated the entire space like daylight. However, the Spirit Wood here was very different from what Lin Qian described on his side.

The Spirit Wood in Lin Qian's area of the underground world had numerous, slender branches, and the leaves were as large as beds, comfortably large enough for a person to lie on.

In contrast, the Spirit Wood where the three elders were had fewer, thicker branches, and the leaves were only the size of a palm, layering over each other.

This difference resulted in a completely different environment on each side.

"Barret, I wonder if there are such Spirit Woods in the Ancient Forest World?" Lin Qian approached a member of the Red Horn Clan, asking as he carefully recounted the description the three elders had provided to him.

After listening carefully to Lin Qian's description, Barret pondered with a furrowed brow for a long time, then helplessly shook his head, "Sorry, Lord, I have never heard of such Spirit Wood in the Ancient Forest World."

"Elders, have any of you ever heard of this type of Spirit Wood?" After getting an answer from Barret, Lin Qian turned around, asking the crowd around him as he described the appearance of the Spirit Wood in detail.

To Lin Qian's disappointment, none of the more than three hundred people present had seen or heard of such a Spirit Wood.

The description from the elders inside the Communication Token indicated that, after leaving the cave and arriving in this subterranean world, there was similarly no exit above.

"Elders, please infuse a large amount of Soul Power into the token, then let it float in midair on its own," Lin Qian had no choice but to communicate with the elders.

In the nameless space beneath the ground, upon receiving Lin Qian's communication, Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yi An, and Yang Guixiang exchanged glances, each seeing the helplessness in the others' eyes.

In the end, the elders did as Lin Qian instructed out of curiosity to see what would happen.

After all, Lin Qian had brought them too many shocks, and there were always new wonders to witness.

For example, the Huaxia Soul Vision Machine broadcasting the Huaxia News had truly astounded them.

In just a few days, the Huaxia News had already demonstrated tremendous effect.

The content broadcast in the first few days was all about explanations of the Huaxia Empire, such as how the Empire planned to manage its territory from now on.

In this way, the citizens within the territory controlled by the Huaxia Empire now had a very clear understanding of what their future Empire would be like and what the specific management would entail.

Their minds were now as clear as mirrors.

At this moment, after acting according to Lin Qian's instructions, the golden tokens in the elders' hands indeed rose into the air.

Then, a soft light of Soul Power burst forth from the three tokens in front of them.

This soft light, after appearing, gently expanded, flowing smoothly around like tender streams of water, quickly reaching out to a radius of ten miles in an instant.

Meanwhile, on Lin Qian's side, the golden Soul Power of the Minghuang Emperor emerged from him, possessing no destructive power but merely enveloping the area within a ten-mile radius.

Although not a vast range, it was sufficiently ample for the purpose.

"Your Majesty, we have the results—there's a complete difference between the two environments," Zhuge Ming's voice soon emerged in Lin Qian's mind, reporting to him one by one.

It turned out the gentle light radiating from the elders' tokens had thoroughly collected the data from their side and compared it with the situation on Lin Qian's side.

By comparison, the concentration of nature's spiritual energy in the territory where the elders were located was far greater than that of Lin Qian's side, at least ten times stronger according to the analysis by the Heavenly Art Department!

Moreover, the Spirit Woods on both sides were of completely different species and the conditions for their growth were also somewhat distinct.

Additionally, because the area where the elders were had a much higher concentration of Spiritual Energy, both the ground and the growing Spirit Woods there were far harder than those on Lin Qian's side, incomparable to each other.

"Therefore, we can conclude that the area where Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yi An, and Yang Guixiang are located is far superior to where Your Majesty currently is," Zhuge Ming ultimately reached his conclusion.

After hearing Zhuge Ming's words, Lin Qian couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows: "Why would the elders suddenly end up somewhere else, likely far away from here?"
