Sure enough, those old fogies of the Holy Light Cult were trying to continue the God and Demon Temple's conspiracy to create gods, and there must be some unspeakable connection between the two forces.
Poor Liz, we absolutely cannot let her become the final victim.
It seems there are still their church's forces inside the secret realm!
Pulling his thoughts back, Luo Fan brought up the issue of the Devouring Void King's divine sense escaping earlier, wanting to confirm whether the beast still had a chance to be resurrected.
"The chances are slim, otherwise the gods wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to cultivate hosts. Once stranded in another dimension, divine consciousness has no chance of survival; it will only dissipate."
The tree spirit explained, seemingly without any worry, which relieved Luo Fan.
"If I want to completely eliminate such a being, is there a good way?" Luo Fan was still somewhat unwilling to let go of the treasure he had almost obtained, only blaming himself for his lack of knowledge in this area.
“You can use a Soul Gem. What I gave you is an elemental Soul Crystal, which is much less effective. As for Soul Gems, I only have one here, which is one of the mediums for nurturing spirits, so I can’t give it to you.”
"This gem comes from the Demon Abyss. It is said to be a specialty of the Demon Realm and is very helpful to spiritual consciousness."
Knowing it wouldn't be that simple, Luo Fan didn't covet the tree spirits' treasures, since it involved their reproduction.
Are there any similar spells?
"Some soul-gathering and soul-binding formations generally come at a high price. I don't know the related spells, otherwise I wouldn't have watched helplessly as my master's divine sense dissipated."
The tree spirit sighed. It was just a tree spirit, and it was only after those elves sacrificed themselves that it was able to fully transform into a spirit. Before that, it was just an ignorant being.
"Okay, thank you anyway for clearing up my confusion."
"Of course, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
"I want to take some of the Fountain of Life, then kill some people in the secret realm, and it will take a few days to clear out the area."
"No problem~"
After a brief exchange, and once Huoyu had given the gifts to the other elves, Luo Fan led the two of them back to Caitlin and the others.
This area is considered the outer edge of the Elf Forest. The concentration of magic energy is very high, and there are signs of grazing everywhere. Some wood-type flower fairies and tree spirits also live here. It must have been at the behest of the tree spirits that we haven't clashed with them.
There was a pond where they meditated, and a gentle breeze blew through it, making it quite pleasant. Not far away, there was a white portal, the passage to the outside.
At this moment, the girls all entered into meditation, not forgetting at all what Luo Fan had reminded them of earlier.
After settling Huo Yu, Luo Fan disappeared again. The tree spirit had already sent him the location of the person he was looking for.
Through the thick barrier, Luo Fan reappeared in the Elemental Maze and saw a group of several hundred people, scattered far apart, searching for something in the light attribute area.
They communicated with the tree spirits; they were searching for something called Radiant Stone. The tree spirits had two of those stones and delivered them directly to Luo Fan.
Radiant Stone, filled with abundant light elements, is one of the most precious treasures of the light element. Such a treasure can only be formed in secret realms, and it is similar to the existence of Cold Marrow.
As for its specific purpose, the tree spirit didn't know either; it left after pointing out the way.
Next, it was time for Luo Fan to kill and plunder. Donning the skin of the Devouring Void King Beast, he created a small pack of beasts and wreaked havoc in this space, giving them no chance to escape.
After finishing, he thought of Anya's group, but when he inquired, he found out that they had already escaped.
"Your Majesty, is this alright?" The tree spirit's voice came again as he calmed down.
"Well, that's about enough. Now I should focus on leveling up."
"Um!"
Back with Ellie, Luo Fan began to think about what he would have to face after they left.
He wiped out many forces, so I definitely can't be the last one to leave. It would be best to leave a few days earlier, so that I would be less suspicious.
The thought that those families had ways to confirm the life or death of their members, and that so many people had died, meant that some people outside must have already noticed the anomalies happening in the secret realm.
It seems Sean and the others haven't left yet. I need to get them out after me to make it more convincing.
As for that wood-type family, it would be too bizarre to kill them all, so it's better to keep a low profile. Afterwards, instruct the tree spirit to trap the survivors for a while longer, and then control the Void Devouring Beast to create the illusion of an attack.
After pondering for a while, Luo Fan's version of the Void Devouring Beast went out to roam again, killing several other imperial groups before returning to officially begin its assault on its current level.
Time passed slowly. Luo Fan chatted with the tree spirit from time to time. Finally, realizing that it was almost time, he woke up all the girls and told them it was time to go out.
The girls' improvement was very obvious. With Luo Fan's investment of a lot of spiritual materials, Huo Yu broke through to level 51 and became a beautiful and lively girl.
Outside, Tianshui Lake.
With less than a week until the secret realm closes, the skies above are bustling with activity. Near the entrance, even more people and boats are lingering, all eagerly awaiting its arrival.
At certain entrances, adventurers occasionally emerge, and they are usually subjected to rigorous investigation.
Caitlin and her group, riding on Xuanwu, emerged from the entrance arranged by the tree spirit, which was relatively close to Tianshui Town. Having someone backing them up certainly made a difference.
Seeing such a group of people, all of whom were pretty girls, immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Xianxian and the others have returned to the pet space, leaving only Caitlin and her group, whose auras remain stable.
After intensive training, and with the tree spirit's deliberate assistance, the girls all showed significant improvement.
Ally, Daisy, and Emil have all broken through to the level 1 of Grand Mage. Angela is still a bit short, at level 8 of High-Rank Mage, and Ahri has reached level 2 of Mid-Rank Mage. Caitlin is currently at level 8 of Grand Mage, Toria at level 5, and Freya at level 2 of Archmage.
Even Little Grey has reached level 51, breaking through to the level of an intermediate-level magical beast. The girls' pets have also shown significant improvement.
"It's Princess Caitlin, and they've come out too!"
Someone called out, and at that moment Gandalf appeared beside them, along with several Archmages.
"Why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?"
“They got separated and were attacked by the Void Devouring Beast. After that, we’ve been hiding and cultivating!” Caitlin said, sighing.
Hiding away to cultivate is something many adventurers do, but they need to find a good sanctuary first.
Gandalf simply didn't believe it. With that slime's abilities, it certainly wouldn't have come out so quickly if it hadn't found it.
The other girls also wore long faces and didn't say anything.
The next routine inspection revealed a lot of ores and spiritual materials, a decent haul, but nothing that caught the eye of these big shots.
"Your Highness, can you summon all your pets to take a look?" A Saint Magister asked with some doubt, while the Archmage next to him was scanning them with a detection device.
Then, Fairy appeared, stunning everyone once again—what an exquisite daffodil! But soon, the princess summoned her back, adding a comment.
"Xianxian is a little shy!"
"It's okay, where are the others?"
Immediately afterwards, everyone summoned their magical pets one by one, and the beautiful female pets that appeared one after another once again shocked everyone. In particular, Daisy's Little Snow, at level 68, had an exquisite appearance like an ice fairy, breathtakingly beautiful, and was countless times stronger than the one from the Fabings family before.
The great mage of the family next door turned pale upon seeing this and hurriedly contacted the patriarch on the ship.
