"Do your elves really live inside trees?"

Sylvus asked as he looked at the giant tree in front of him.

The tree was lush and enormous, requiring several people to wrap their arms around it.

It looked extremely sturdy and appeared to have aged over the years.

"Yes and no,"

Elena smiled slightly.

As she spoke, a green light burst from her right hand.

A ripple appeared on the surface of the tree.

She then walked forward, passing through the ripple and disappearing from sight.

Sylvus did not hesitate and followed after her.

When he passed through the ripple, his surroundings suddenly brightened, and a massive island appeared before him.

The island was covered in dense forests.

Countless elves, flapping their wings, flew through the jungle.

The most striking feature, however, were the twelve towering trees surrounding the island.

Sylvus could feel a powerful energy emanating from these trees.

"Those are the war trees of our elven tribe. Each war tree possesses the power of a Nine-Star Mage Emperor."

Noticing Sylvus' gaze, Elena smiled and explained.

"I didn't expect your elven tribe to be so powerful,"

Sylvus nodded and said.

From what the elves had shown so far, it seemed their strength could outmatch all of humanity.

Of course, he didn't fully understand the true power of the human race either.

"Let's head to the temple now."

Elena said nothing more and led Sylvus as they flew downward.

In fact, these war trees were powerful beings once cultivated by the night elves.

However, after the night elves parted ways with the other elves, the war trees remained with the main elven tribe.

Under Elena's guidance, they soon arrived in front of the elven tribe's sacred temple.

Sylvus' arrival piqued the curiosity of many elves.

They had never seen their queen bring a human to their tribe before.

"Your Majesty, where did you go just now? We felt a powerful spatial force, and then you disappeared."

At that moment, several elven leaders hurried toward Elena.

Princess Xia was also among them.

"High Priestess, I'm fine. The one beside me is Sylvus of the human race."

Elena said, turning to look at Sylvus.

"Sylvus, these are the elders and priests of our elven tribe."

Upon hearing Elena's introduction, the elves all turned their gaze toward Sylvus.

They were all high-ranking members of the elven tribe and naturally knew what was going on.

"So, you're Sylvus. We've heard much about you."

The eldest elf, a woman, looked at Sylvus.

This was the high priestess, Genis, a powerful Eight-Star Mage Emperor.

Sylvus smiled but remained silent, while Elena explained things to the others. She then took Sylvus into the temple.

"High Priestess, do you really think Sylvus can open our ancestral land?"

An elder elf asked, frowning as he watched Sylvus' back.

Genis shook her head.

"I'm not sure, but if the queen says there's a chance, then there must be."

They all knew that Sylvus was an extraordinary being.

He could easily toy with even the strongest death magic users.

But whether he could open their ancestral land was uncertain.

Since the day they were born, no one had ever been able to open it.

They didn't even know what lay inside.

"Let's go. We should see what methods he has to open our ancestral land."

Genis said as she led the others to follow.

Meanwhile, Elena led Sylvus to the front of the temple.

As the doors of the temple opened,

Sylvus could feel a dense life force emanating from inside.

"Please, come in,"

Elena said, motioning for Sylvus to enter.

He nodded and stepped inside alongside her.

The sacred temple of the elves could only be entered by the queen and the elders of the tribe.

Sylvus was the first human to ever set foot inside.

As he walked into the grand hall, the life force became even more intense.

It didn't take long before they arrived at a blue stone wall.

In the middle of the wall, there was a spring of water.

This was the source of the dense life energy filling the room.

"Is this your elven tribe's sacred spring?"

Sylvus asked curiously, looking at the small spring.

"Yes, this is our sacred spring. It has powerful effects. Even a regular person who drinks a single drop can become a magician."

Elena nodded.

"The source of this spring seems to be behind that blue stone wall, right?"

Sylvus asked.

Elena nodded again.

"Our ancestral land lies behind that blue stone wall."

Sylvus narrowed his eyes.

Even the water leaking from the ancestral land had become a treasure for the elves.

So what kind of treasures could be inside?

If, in the beginning, Sylvus had come here simply to complete his system's task,

he was now genuinely curious about the elven ancestral land.

"Are you asking me to smash this stone wall?"

Sylvus asked.

"This stone wall is protected by a powerful enchantment. Even the strongest of our Mage emperors couldn't break it. But I believe you have the ability to do so,"

Elena said.

Her meaning was clear: if you can break it by force, go ahead.

Sylvus frowned slightly.

If even a mage emperor couldn't break this stone wall,

then neither could he.

Even if he used his god-sealing card, it would only bring him to the level of a mage emperor.

"It seems that breaking it by force isn't an option. Luckily, I have other methods."

Sylvus thought to himself.

Perhaps before, he wouldn't have had a way.

But now, with his third forbidden spell, no enchantment could stand in his way.

"Since this is your ancestral land, it wouldn't be appropriate to break in by force. Let me go in and take a look first."

Sylvus smiled.

"You can go in?"

Elena looked at Sylvus in surprise.

If he didn't break the stone wall, how could he enter?

"Sylvus, this stone wall is enchanted with a powerful spell that absorbs all magical attacks. It's impossible to get through,"

Genis, the high priestess, added.

"Don't worry. I have my ways. Wait for me here,"

Sylvus smiled slightly.

He then used his Void Spirit technique.

Under the gaze of everyone, his figure slowly began to turn ethereal, until he disappeared completely.

"Where did he go?"

The others were stunned to see Sylvus vanish.

Even Elena frowned.

She couldn't sense his presence at all. Did he run away?

At that moment, Sylvus had already reached the stone wall.

He cautiously extended a hand toward the wall, and a blue light immediately flared up.

Just as Sylvus thought it wouldn't work, he noticed his hand passing through the wall.

"It worked,"

Sylvus smiled and stepped forward, passing through the wall into the other space.
