"What … what's going on?"
This sudden development caught Linley somewhat unprepared. He hurriedly used his divine sense to scan the surrounding area, but after doing so, he didn't discover anything.
"No, with my cultivation base of crossing tribulation, how can I be trapped in this place? Even a master of the Dacheng Realm can't do it. Moreover, this is the place leading to the ancestral land of the elves, how can there be such a powerful cultivator?
Thinking of this key, Lin Ray couldn't help but turn around and look at the old man fishing. For a time, Lin Ray didn't want to admit that the person who trapped him was this old man, but there was no one else here.
"This … senior, I don't know if I have offended you, please forgive me. I really have something to do, so it is inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time. I ask senior to remove the spell on me."
"…"
After a long time, the old man was still the same as before, as if he had never heard Lin Ray speak, he didn't make a sound.
There was no other way, he didn't speak and he couldn't move, so Lin Ray could only stand in place and wait for the old man to be willing to let him go.
Time passed quickly. In this place where there was no day and night, Lin Ray didn't know how much time had passed, but Lin Ray knew that he was not idle during this time. The old man was still fishing as usual, but he didn't catch a fish. Lin Ray was cultivating his spiritual force, hoping to break through to the heaven level alchemist realm as soon as possible.
"Huh … what the hell is going on, why can't I break free from this spell?"
Lin Ray would try to break free from this spell every once in a while, but he still failed as usual.
One day, when Lin Ray was closing his eyes, he found that there was some invisible spiritual force wrapped around his body. Seeing this scene, Lin Ray's face showed an excited expression.
"Hahaha, I know, so that's how it is. I was wondering why I couldn't break free from this spell. It turns out that this is not a spell at all, this is just a kind of transcendental spiritual force."
Realizing this, Lin Ray began to use his spiritual force to feel the spiritual force wrapped around his body. Soon, Lin Ray found the mystery from it.
"Humph, break for me."
A roar came out from Lin Ray's mouth. Suddenly, Lin Ray's body changed. His body that was originally fixed began to wake up slowly. First, it was his hands, then his feet, and in the end, Lin Ray's whole body directly recovered.
"Oh, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that this is the ancestral land of the elves. What I didn't expect is that there is so much spiritual force here."
After seeing the spiritual force of the elves' ancestral land, Lin Ray began to be careful. If he was not careful, he would end up like before. At this moment, Lin Ray did not want to be fixed again.
"Senior, since you are not willing to speak, this junior will take his leave first."
After Lin Ray broke free, he hurriedly bowed to the old man fishing in front of him and walked deeper. But at this moment, the old man who had been silent in the fishing world woke up.
"Haha, young man, you are indeed a man above others. In just a few short months, you were able to break through this barrier. This old man really admires you from the bottom of his heart."
Suddenly, Lin Ray, who was walking deeper in, heard the voice of the fisherman behind him. In an instant, Lin Ray's body was fixed in place like before. However, the difference was that Lin Ray was stunned in place and looked at the old man with a trace of disbelief.
"What, senior, are you saying that it has been a few months?" Lin Ray heard bad news that he did not want to hear and did not recover for a moment.
"Haha, look, you just said that you could become a dragon among dragons. How did you end up like this in just a few months? Don't you know that time is just a useless number for us cultivators? Although it is impossible for cultivators to live forever, even if you can't live forever, for someone of your age to be able to cultivate to the next stage of the tribulation, that is enough for you to have lived for tens of thousands of years."
The old man sitting by the river saw Lin Ray's big reaction and explained some things about cultivators to Lin Ray with a puzzled expression.
"Haha, tens of thousands of years, so what if I live for tens of thousands of years? If I don't have someone I love, what's the point? The reason I was able to cultivate to this level was to be able to save my lover who let go of the attack for me. Red Lotus, who originally had six months to live, was delayed by me for a few months. It seems that fate really makes fools of people!"
At this moment, Lin Ray's face showed a self-deprecating expression when he heard the old man's words. His tone was full of pain, unwillingness, and unwillingness to accept his fate.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person. However, you didn't ask me how many months have passed. What is there to regret? As long as it is not a specific time, everything will still have a chance."
"What?" Lin Ray, whose heart was dead, showed a puzzled expression when he heard the old man's words. He looked at the old man and asked, "You mean, I still have a chance to save my lover?"
"That's right. It has only been two months since you came in. There is no need to be so pessimistic. However, I am very curious. Why would a human cultivator like you appear in the ancestral land of the elves?"
"I …" Lin Ray scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the old man's words. He smiled and said, "Although I am a human, in order to save my lover, I came to the Black Forest to find a way to break through to the Heaven Stage. Later on, by chance, I accepted the son of the elven queen, Karun, as my disciple. Later on, due to various reasons, Karun allowed me to come to the ancestral land of the elves. Speaking of which, I really had no choice."
At this point, Lin Ray's face showed a guilty expression, but there was no trace of regret in his eyes.
"I see, I see!" The old man showed a melancholy expression after hearing Lin Ray's story.
"Young friend, I wonder how the elves are doing now. How many of them still have cultivation?"
The old man looked at Linley with a desolate look in his eyes. His body was trembling uncontrollably. Seeing this, Linley didn't understand.
"Ai! Those with cultivation are gone, but they're gone now. I've taken Cullen as my disciple, and he's very talented. Add to that Cullen's psychic power, and his cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. It won't be long before he reaches a level that others can never reach in their lifetime. "
After Lin Ray answered the old man's question, Lin Ray told him about the elves' situation. When he talked about his disciple, Lin Ray showed a trace of gratification.
"They're gone?" Hearing Lin Ray's words, the old man's eyes seemed to have lost their color and darkened. His body also revealed an aura of death, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
"Yes! But I promised Karun that after I save my lover, I will let the elves return to the eyes of the people of the Profound Sky Continent. I also left them a lot of cultivation methods and resources. With their mental strength and aptitude, I believe that it won't be long before they become the nightmare of everyone in the Profound Sky Continent. "
"Hmm … Really?" When Lin Ray said that the elves would return to the world and that they would return to the peak, the old man's eyes, which were like dead ashes, regained their color.
"Yes, I have already asked Karun to give them the cultivation methods."
"Then … Then thank you. Thank you for giving the elves the cultivation methods. Thank you for helping the elves to return to the world."
"Plop." The old man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing while muttering Lin Ray's words.
"Eh … This … This …"
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Katarama, the ancestor of the elves. The reason why I am doing this is because I represent the elves to express our sincere gratitude to you."
"What?" When Lin Ray saw the old man kneeling on the ground and was about to help him up, Lin Ray was petrified by the old man's words. After a long time, Lin Ray came back to his senses and asked the ancestor of the elves.
"You … You are the ancestor of the elves. Then … then you have a way to become a Heaven Rank alchemist?"
"Plop." At this point, Lin Ray knelt on the ground and begged the old man, "Senior, please teach me the way to become a Heaven Rank alchemist. Please teach me …"
"Don't, please don't do this. Just based on the fact that you brought the elves back to the world, I will teach you the way to become a Heaven Rank alchemist no matter what. However, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Seeing Lin Ray kneeling, Katarama stepped forward and helped him up, "I want you to be the patriarch of the elves and lead the elves to a higher plane. Let the elves return to their roots. I wonder if Fellow Daoist can agree to this."
Hearing Katarama's words, Lin Ray was stunned. What did he mean by going to a higher plane? What did he mean by returning to their roots? Could it be that the elves weren't originally a part of the Profound Sky Continent?
"No, Senior, I don't quite understand what you mean. Could it be that you and your race aren't originally from the Profound Sky Continent?"
After hearing Katarama's next words, Lin Ray was completely stunned. He didn't dare to believe that the elves were a race from a higher plane.
"That's right. How could the elves be a race from such a low plane? Back then, I was an elf living in the Immortal World. My father was the patriarch of the elves at that time, but I was very mischievous at that time. In one of my adventures, I accidentally triggered some mechanism and came here. At that time, there were many people with me who were brought here by my recklessness. However, they were very loyal. Because I was the son of the patriarch, after coming here, they made me the patriarch of the elves and settled here. There were several times when we wanted to rush out of this low plane, but in the end, we discovered that this low plane was actually a sealed planet. From then on, I and the people I brought here lived in peace and continued our descendants. However, the people I brought couldn't withstand the ravages of time and left me one by one. As for me, I could only hide in this Starting Ground and live on while at death's door. "
As he spoke, tears flowed out of Katarama's eyes. His eyes were filled with regret. He lamented as he looked towards the depths of the Starting Ground and bowed deeply.
