The passageway was probably built to fit the physique of elves; it was very tall and fairly spacious.

The walls on either side of the staircase are inlaid with faint illuminating stones, which emit a soft light to light their way.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the view suddenly opened up before them, revealing a vast underground world.

In this underground space, there is a huge ancient tree, surrounded by countless crystal domes. These domes are round, and inside them are some pale blue liquid and a small elf.

Each crystal dome is connected by a tendril growing from a branch of an ancient tree.

The little elves were asleep with their eyes closed...

“These are…” Wuyouzi stared in astonishment at the scene; he had never seen anything like it before.

“Master, when I first came to this world, I saw some history of the elven world on a stone tablet. The people in these crystal domes should be the children of the elven race who were sealed away by secret magic ten thousand years ago!”

Chu Wanwan suddenly remembered the inscription on the stone tablet: "Tens of thousands of years ago, the great war between gods and demons led to the annihilation of all the gods in the divine realm. Without divine power to support it, a corner of the divine realm collapsed. Just then, a divine stone fell into the elven world, smashing a large hole in the boundary wall of the elven world. This led to the invasion of demons and the destruction of the elven race."

To ensure the continuation of their race, the elves sealed away some of the newborn elves using special methods, hoping they would have the opportunity to be reborn in the future.

Upon hearing this, Wuyouzi's eyes flashed with surprise. "Such a thing actually exists? Does that mean these children have been asleep for ten thousand years?"

Chu Wanwan nodded. "That should be it. The inscription on the stone tablet states that this seal can protect the spirit's body and soul from destruction, waiting for the right time to awaken them."

"Wanwan, do you want to wake them up?"

Wuyouzi said.

"I don't want to. Unless we have the ability to wipe out all the demons in the Elf World, these little elves will face annihilation if they are awakened! Besides, I don't know how to awaken them, and I can't even if I wanted to."

Chu Wanwan shook her head.

"That's true, Wanwan, let's leave now!"

Wuyouzi also agreed with Chu Wanwan's point of view.

“Yes, Master!” Chu Wanwan replied. She took one last look at the little elves sleeping in the crystal dome and silently prayed that they could safely wait for the chance to be reborn.

Just as they were about to leave, a bright light suddenly shone, illuminating the entire cave. Wuyouzi and Chu Wanwan immediately looked warily in the direction of the light source, where a figure slowly emerged.

The figure gradually came into focus, revealing a tall and dignified elven elder. He wore a white robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

"Guests from afar, thank you for coming to this forgotten elven holy land." The elder elven's voice was melodious and profound, as if it had traveled through ten thousand years.

Wuyouzi and Chu Wanwan exchanged a glance, knowing that this was just a wisp of divine thought.

Wuyouzi bowed and said, "This junior, Wuyouzi, and my disciple Chu Wanwan have mistakenly entered this place. If we have caused any disturbance, please forgive us, senior."

The elder elf smiled slightly, “Fate has brought you here for a reason. You need not be alarmed; I have no intention of blaming you.”

He looked at the little fairies sleeping in the crystal dome, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

“These children are the hope of our Elven race. Now that you have unsealed them, our Elven race will naturally keep its promise. This is the key to the Elven treasure vault, which is located in the underground world of the Floating Cloud Mountains. Now that you have awakened the children, this key is entrusted to you.”

As the elder elven spoke, an ancient key shimmering with green light appeared in his palm.

"The treasure vault contains generations of treasures and cultivation manuals of the Elven race, which you may freely use. However, I must also warn you that this place was occupied by demons ten thousand years ago. It is teeming with endless demons, and if you wish to obtain the treasures there, you must first eliminate the demons!"

"But we haven't awakened the younger generation of the elves!"

Chu Wanwan did not reach out to take the key. Even if the elves had many treasures, they were not something that people like them could even dream of.

Go to the demons' lair? Isn't that just suicide?
