"Little Dragon, what you said back then was indeed a lie. However, this is also good. If you don't remember me, then so be it! Now that things have come to this, there is nothing left to worry about. "
Lin Ray muttered to himself as he walked out of the cave. His eyes were empty and lifeless. Looking up at the sky, Lin Ray felt as if he had lost something in his heart.
In the cold night wind, Lin Ray stood in the cold in his thin clothes, allowing the cold wind to blow against him. His silver-white hair was very dazzling.
"Why, why am I so sad?"
At this moment, seeing Lin Ray walking out as if he had lost his soul, Red Lotus' heart clenched tightly. She had never experienced such a feeling before.
"Could it be … could it be that I have really lost my memory and something happened between me and this child?"
After feeling this, Red Lotus recalled what Lin Ray had said before. For a moment, she was puzzled. However, no matter how she thought about it, she still could not remember what had happened. In the end, she simply chose to forget about it.
Just as Red Lotus and Linley were at a loss, Elder Xiong, who had left, returned with a person in tow. This person had a dignified aura about him, causing others to feel a sense of pressure.
"Junior Brother, is this the place where you said there was an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator?"
At this moment, the person who was brought back by Elder Xiong looked at the black forest in front of him with eyes full of disbelief.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, there is absolutely no mistake. At that time, the aura was very strong. Even you did not have such an aura. Moreover, I could feel that it was an aura that had just awakened. However, what I don't understand is how someone could break through to the Earth Immortal Realm on this sealed planet. This does not make sense."
The Sect Leader that Elder Xiong referred to was Zhao Pan of the Kunlun Sect and also Lin Ray's greatest enemy.
"Well, this is also what I'm puzzled about. When the Revered One sent us here, he didn't have the ability to let us out. He also observed that on this planet, at most, one could cultivate to the peak of the Mahayana Realm. It was impossible to break through until the end of one's life. Therefore, after hearing your report, I was also very surprised!"
"Mm, that's right. Soon, all of these formations will be broken. Then, we'll be able to unravel all the secrets."
Elder Xiong looked at the progress of the array formation and turned to Zhao Pan.
"I hope so! I hope it's not an enemy. Otherwise … "
Hearing his junior brother's words, Zhao Pan's expression turned solemn as he stared at the Black Forest.
Now, it was not just Lin Ray and Zhao Pan. Once the news of the resurrection of Red Lotus Empress in the Red Lotus Empire spread, all the cultivators in the Tianxuan Continent were mobilized to search for the revived Red Lotus. The world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. Some cultivators had even attacked mortals in order to find Red Lotus.
As for the culprit behind all of this, Red Lotus, when she thought of the conditions Linley had agreed to, she was stunned.
"Bring me out of this sealed planet? Could it be … "
At this thought, Red Lotus couldn't remain calm anymore. Her originally cold expression turned blazing. She gazed at Lin Ray, who was at the entrance of the cave, and arrived at Lin Ray's side in a single step. She grabbed Lin Ray's arm and said excitedly.
"You … You … You can really bring me out of this planet? You're not lying to me? "
At that moment, Red Lotus was like a young lady who wanted to get an answer. The eager gaze in her eyes made one have the urge to go up and confide in her.
"That's right. This is what I promised you, and it's also what I owe you. This is the final compensation. I don't want to say anything else. If you don't want to, I'll use other methods to compensate you. Cultivation methods, pills, formations, martial skills, whatever you want, I'll give you. However, after this matter, we'll completely break up, and we won't have any more interactions in the future."
Looking at Red Lotus who was grabbing his arm, Lin Ray said everything he wanted to say. Then, he slapped Red Lotus' hand away, turned around, and walked toward the elven tribe. Red Lotus, who was in a daze, was in disbelief.
"Can … Can … Can we really leave?"
Red Lotus was very excited. When she was alive, she had fantasized many times about being able to leave this planet that restricted her, but until her death, she couldn't do it. She didn't expect to be promised by a teenager that he would bring her out of this planet before he left. How big of a piece of news was this!
After leaving, Lin Ray adjusted his state of mind and returned to the elven tribe. Because he wanted to save Red Lotus, he didn't pass on Katarama's order.
"Ah … Master, you're finally out of seclusion. I've been cultivating very hard these days. Look, I'm already in the next phase of the consecration!"
As soon as Lin Ray returned to the elven tribe, he heard Cullen's cheers. Gradually, Cullen appeared and hung on Lin Ray's body, showing off.
Hearing Cullen's words, Lin Ray let go of all the happy things and quickly released his Divine Sense to check Cullen's cultivation. When he saw Cullen's cultivation, Lin Ray revealed a gratified smile.
"Haha, that's right! Only when you're strong can you have the right to be arrogant and conceited. That's why cultivation is very important. If you can continue to cultivate like this, Master can promise you one thing. Anything, including killing people. "
Linley had been smiling, but when he spoke of killing people, his smile disappeared. In its place was a cold and emotionless look.
"Sss …" After seeing this side of his Master, Cullen sucked in a breath and shrunk his neck, revealing a frightened expression.
"Eh, haha, what's wrong? Scared already? I haven't let you see me killing people yet, so from now on, you have to start training to kill people. Otherwise, you won't be so timid and afraid when you kill people in the future. "
Lin Ray smiled and told Cullen a few things he had to do to cultivate. Then he carried Cullen towards Cullen's room. Along the way, Lin Ray had Cullen tell him all the things he didn't know. Then he cleared Cullen's doubts and arrived in front of Cullen's room.
"Knock, knock, knock …" Lin Ray knocked on Cullen's door a few times. Cullen's voice was heard, and it was very gentle.
"Come in!"
Hearing Cullen's words, Lin Ray opened the door and carried Cullen into the room. Then he sat down. Cullen obediently jumped down from Lin Ray's body and intimately leaned against Cullen's chest.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Ray, I didn't expect that you would come out of seclusion today. If I had known earlier, I would've informed my Elf Race to welcome you!"
When Cullen saw that the person who came in was Lin Ray, he had a pleasantly surprised expression and said to Lin Ray.
"It's nothing, I won't say anything else. Presumably, you also know that I have already become a Heaven Stage Alchemist. But the reason I was able to break through this time was entirely due to Katalama's help. If it wasn't for him, I reckon that I wouldn't have made such great progress."
Lin Ray told Cullen the key to his breakthrough. For a moment, Cullen's eyes were filled with sadness.
"What? You mean, my Elf Race's ancestor, Katalama? Could it be that he's still alive? "
When Cullen heard the name Katalama, he immediately thought of the Elf Race's ancestor. For a moment, many questions came out of Cullen's mouth.
"Erm, you're really something. Why would I send you one out of so many questions?" Seeing how excited Kargal was, Linley joked.
"I-I'm sorry, i-it's just that i-after I heard the news about my ancestor, I asked in a moment of desperation. I hope that Fellow Daoist doesn't mind and can answer my questions one by one."
"Hehe, okay." Hearing Cullen's words, Lin Ray told him about the Elf Race's Ancestral Land, "I have indeed met your ancestor. Furthermore, the reason why I was able to break through this time was entirely due to your ancestor's contribution. However, in order for me to break through, your ancestor sacrificed himself for me."
When Lin Ray said this, he recalled Katalama's last words before he disappeared. For a moment, a sorrowful expression appeared on his face.
"What? You're saying that Ancestor Katalama i-is already dead?" Hearing Lin Ray's words, Cullen revealed a sorrowful expression and asked.
"That's right, your ancestor did it for me. However, before he died, he told me a secret related to your Elf Race. He even made me promise that I would lead the Elf Race to complete it."
"What? Our ancestor made you lead us to complete the secret? What secret? Why didn't I know that our Elf Race had such a secret! "
After hearing Lin Ray's words, Cullen, who was listening attentively, couldn't suppress his curiosity and interrupted Lin Ray's words.
I heard from your ancestor, Katalama, that your ancestor didn't originally live in the Profound Sky Continent. Instead, he came from the Elf Race in the Immortal World. Besides, your ancestor Katalama was the eldest son of the Elf Race's Patriarch in the Immortal World, which is the same as Cullen. However, Katalama was a little too arrogant when he was young and accidentally triggered a mechanism in a secret trial. For some unknown reason, he was teleported here. Along with Katalama, there were many other Elf Race ancestors. Later on, due to the seal, I announced that their lifespan had reached its limit and they died. However, they didn't truly die as their mental strength was overly powerful, which was why they all lived in the Elf Race's Ancestral Land. In the end, only your ancestor, Katalama, condensed his mental strength into a human body and met me in the end. "
"…"
After Lin Ray finished his words, the Elf Race fell into silence. When he turned to Cullen, Lin Ray was stunned. At that moment, Cullen knelt before Lin Ray.
"W-What are you doing! S-Get up. No matter what, you're still Cullen's mother. How could I possibly accept your kowtow? "
Lin Ray said and stepped forward to stop her. But as soon as Lin Ray's hand touched her, she stopped him.
"No. Fellow Daoist Linley, don't try to dissuade me. Since it was my ancestor who allowed you to lead us, then you are the leader of our Elven race. It is natural for us to kneel before you. Thus, please don't stop me."
Seeing the resolute look on Kargal's face, Linley knew that even if he tried to stop her, she would still kneel. Linley hurriedly accepted Kargal's offer of the position of Patriarch, and then Kargal stood up.
"Alright, I accept the position of the Elf Race's Patriarch. Now, I command you as the Elf Race's Patriarch to get up."
"Yes." After hearing Lin Ray's command as the Elf Race's Patriarch, Cullen stood up obediently and asked doubtfully.
"Patriarch, since our ancestor made you lead us, did he say what we should do?"
"Haha, you're pretty smart!" Hearing Karjal's words, Linley told Karjal about his promise to Karjal. "I promised your ancestor that I would take you away from this sealed planet, and then lead you to the Immortal Realm in search of your race, and allow you to return to your ancestral home."
"Really?" After hearing Lin Ray say that he would lead the Elf Race to the Immortal World to acknowledge their ancestors, Cullen's face lit up with excitement and yearning.
"Yes, that's right. I promised your ancestor. Moreover, your ancestor sacrificed his life in exchange for this. Even if that wasn't the case, just the fact that Cullen is my disciple means that I would have done the same."
Lin Ray looked at Cullen and Cullen, not knowing what to say. When Cullen heard this, an excited smile appeared on Cullen's face. At the same time, he felt proud that his son was able to recognize this master.
"Alright, after the matters outside are settled, you will secretly head west to a city called Royal Pill City. Once there, you will find a place called Nine Heavens Trading Company. Then, you will tell the boss of the trading company your identity and pass on my message. After you are done, there will naturally be people who will arrange your accommodations. However, once you are there, you will have to cultivate well. There are good resources, good medicinal pills, and even better cultivation methods and martial skills for you. I hope that when you leave this planet, each and every one of you will be able to reach the level I want you to reach. As for your makeup, when you leave, I will refine it and send it to you. As long as you eat it, no one will be able to recognize your identity, not even the most powerful cultivator on this planet."
After hearing Lin Ray's arrangements, Cullen nodded obediently. However, Cullen wasn't willing. He had a bitter expression on his face as he lost in front of Lin Ray. It was as if he was saying that he wasn't happy.
"Master, if you leave, then what about me? Can I go with you?"
