Lu Fan and his companions, after days of travel, finally arrived at the northernmost part of the world. Gazing at the dense forest, a light flickered in their eyes.
"Is there truly an elven race in this world?" Lu Fan murmured.
"More than just elven beings, I suspect that legend is also true," Ye Shisan stated with seriousness in his expression.
Lu Fan said nothing more and vanished into the forest. The moment he appeared, a butterfly fluttered within the woods and landed beside Lin Ke, accompanied by the fragrance of many flowers.
From the shadows of the trees, several elves peered out, "What is happening? How can someone intrude here?"
"I don't know either; no human has appeared in this place for hundreds of years!"
"Quick, go report to Her Majesty the Queen that humans are invading the elven territory!"
With these voices, many elves moved deeper into the forest.
Lu Fan and his companions, however, remained calm. With their senses, they had long discovered these elves but chose not to expose them.
"So cute! I never thought elves truly existed in this world!" Shen Yaying exclaimed, "It would be great if I could catch one to take back!"
"They are living beings. I don't want them to be confined. How can you casually capture them!" Ye Shisan rolled his eyes, "No wonder they are so resistant to humans; it's because of people like you!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"I was just saying!" Shen Yaying retorted with a roll of her eyes, showing some displeasure.
Lu Fan, holding Lin Ke, walked directly towards the depths of the forest, his expression grave.
Not long after, a woman in a dress, holding a scepter and accompanied by many elves with an imposing aura, approached Lu Fan and his group.
"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my elven territory?" The Elf Queen looked at Lu Fan with great authority. In all these years, no one had dared to intrude so easily.
"I have a matter to request, which is why I have come to the elven forest!" Lu Fan said with a serious expression, "She is my beloved, gravely injured and unconscious for three months. I have heard that the elven race possesses many potent elixirs and miraculous medicines. Is there any way to save her?"
The Elf Queen glanced at Lin Ke, her heart filled with shock. "She was injured by the Ghost Hall?"
"You know of the Ghost Hall?" Lu Fan frowned, his gaze turning wary towards the Elf Queen. After all, this was the northernmost part of the world, and the Elf Queen's knowledge of the Ghost Hall surprised him greatly.
"I remember a thousand years ago, the dark aura of the Ghost Hall spread, even invading the entire elven forest!" The Elf Queen stated, "If not for the experts of the five ancient clans, the elven forest itself would have faced a catastrophe!"
"We are the descendants of the five ancient clans!" Ye Shisan declared, "He was gravely injured while resisting the Lord of the Ghost Hall, otherwise, he wouldn't be like this!"
"You are descendants of the five ancient clans?" The Elf Queen's eyes widened in surprise. If ordinary spirits had said this, they might not have believed them, but with Lin Ke's condition caused by the Ghost Hall's dark energy, and Lu Fan's righteous aura, it was likely true.
"If even the elven race has no solution, then perhaps there is no other way in this world!" Lu Fan said with a solemn expression, looking directly at the Elf Queen.
"You are correct, the elven race is indeed extraordinary!" The Elf Queen smiled, "However, she is currently like a living corpse, on the verge of death. Saving her is as difficult as reaching the heavens."
"If you don't have the means, then forget it. Why speak so plainly!" Long Yi frowned, his dissatisfaction evident.
"I am merely stating the facts!" The Elf Queen waved her hand, "After all, it is difficult to find a method to resurrect her in this world. If it were in another realm, perhaps there would be a possibility."
"Another realm? What is this place?" Lu Fan asked with seriousness.
"Above this world, there exists another world called the Spirit Realm!" The Elf Queen explained, "The Spirit Realm is filled with cultivators, whose strength is boundless. Even if their physical bodies are gone, as long as their seven souls and three spirits remain, they can still reshape their divine bodies!"
"My goodness, so the rumors are true!" Ye Shisan exclaimed with excitement, "There truly is another world above this world!"
"That is not another world, but a realm!" The Elf Queen stated directly, "The Spirit Realm is extremely chaotic, and one's life could be in danger at any moment. If you easily step into the Spirit Realm, it will be very difficult to return."
"Why is that?" Long Yi asked in surprise, "If we can enter the Spirit Realm, we should naturally be able to come back!"
"This world is too frail; powerful beings from the Spirit Realm cannot easily enter," the Elf Queen explained, "Unless you reach an extremely high realm and can suppress your own cultivation at will, returning will be harder than climbing to heaven."
"For Xiao Ke, I am willing to try!" Lu Fan's expression was solemn, showing no intention of backing down.
Ye Shisan and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. They didn't know whether to follow Lu Fan into the Spirit Realm or stay in this world.
"The gate to the Spirit Realm is located within the elven forest!" The Elf Queen stated, "However, she is already in a mortal state. If this continues, it will also be inconvenient for you all."
"Do you have a better solution?" Lu Fan was touched.
"I will extract her soul and place it within the spirit sword. Once you reach the Spirit Realm, I will reshape her divine body!" The Elf Queen said with a solemn expression, looking at Lu Fan. If Lu Fan agreed, she could proceed.
"But..." Looking at Lin Ke before him, Lu Fan felt reluctant, yet unsure of what to do.
"This might be for the better!" Ye Shisan offered, "Otherwise, if this continues, Xiao Ke will not be able to bear it and will eventually become a mere wisp of a soul! That would be even more troublesome."
Lu Fan nodded slightly and handed Lin Ke over to the Elf Queen, also giving her the Tai Xu Sword. Lu Fan and his companions waited outside, appearing quite anxious.
"I wonder if it will succeed!" Shen Yaying worried, "If it doesn't, it will be a big problem!"
"She is the Elf Queen!" Ye Shisan rolled his eyes, "If even she isn't confident, then who else could be?"
The others said nothing more, waiting outside.
Not long after, the Elf Queen slowly emerged, her face appearing quite pale, as if the process had greatly depleted her. "It is successful!"
"Thank you!" Lu Fan nodded solemnly and took back the Tai Xu Sword.
"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan!" Just then, a voice called out. Everyone looked around, unsure of where the sound was coming from, but they were certain it was Lin Ke's voice.
