Chapter 2219 - 2220: Immortal Mansion

Alice nodded, and the two sat on the back of the Lightning Bird. The Lightning Bird spread its wings as if someone was hovering in the air on the Lightning Bird.

The weather was clear with a few white clouds in the sky. There was a large green forest on the ground, and in the middle of the forest, there was only one gray Supreme Divine Palace, like an Immortal Mansion.

There was no wind in the sky, and the Lightning Bird flew steadily, only stirring up a weak breeze that gently blew Alice's hair.

Ling Zhenfei felt refreshed, and neither of them spoke, perhaps not knowing what to say.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You gave me the Earth Elemental Stone; your tribe won't blame you, right?"

Alice said, "This Earth Elemental Stone was originally divided among our family because our family has been the royal family of the elf tribe for a long time. So this Earth Elemental Stone is indeed ours.

My father passed it down to me, and since I will be the queen of the elf tribe in the future, I can give it to whomever I want."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't know how to thank you for using such a precious thing to cure me."

Alice said, "I don't need your thanks, don't be so polite with me."

Ling Zhenfei was unsure of what to say, afraid of mentioning emotional matters. If it came to emotions, Ling Zhenfei really didn't know how to express them.

At this time, Alice pointed to a place below and said, "Just drop me off here; I can make my way to the Supreme Divine Palace by myself."

Ling Zhenfei let the Lightning Bird descend, and the two waved goodbye.

The Lightning Bird rose into the sky once more, watching from afar as Alice's figure leapt into the forest below.

By now, it was getting late, and in the distance, the sound of drums could be heard near the arena, marking the end of another day's tournament.

Ling Zhenfei thought about what he ought to do next and decided to enter human territory to figure out which sect had captured Anna and to see if he could take the opportunity to rescue her.

Ling Zhenfei dismounted the Lightning Bird from a distance and headed towards the humans.

Ling Zhenfei was now experienced and knew that his reputation among the humans wasn't very good.

Moreover, many sects held grudges against him, so he couldn't act too openly; he would sneak in quietly.

Ling Zhenfei slipped into the human camp silently. After a day's battle, the human camp was relatively quiet, with only the occasional groan of pain reaching the ears, likely from those injured during the day's fights.

Compared to before when he had first arrived, the current number of humans in the camp seemed pitiably small.

Initially, cultivators had occupied all of Xianling Mountain's peaks, but now it was silent at night.

Ling Zhenfei felt somewhat disheartened. What good does war serve, resulting in death and injury?

Ling Zhenfei extended the power of his soul and quickly located where Anna was, under a centrally positioned Wu Liang.

Ling Zhenfei cautiously moved towards that place, and before long, he could see it from a distance.

This Wu Liang was one of the most heavily guarded places around.

It was extremely well-guarded, with multiple Wu Liang structures connected to the central one.

The surrounding Wu Liang included Wuliang Mountain, the Cultivators Alliance, Tianling Spirit Palace, and the Du Family.

All of these were the strongest sects among human cultivators, with even those like Mount Bu Zhou positioned on the periphery.

Ling Zhenfei used his power of the soul to stealthily approach that Wu Liang and soon found Anna.

Anna's abilities were completely sealed and she was sitting in a small room, which was unoccupied at the time.

Ling Zhenfei knew his chance had come and moved swiftly into the Wu Liang.

Indeed, it was a case of shape-shifting shadows. Ling Zhenfei's power of the soul had improved significantly over time, connected to his previous injuries.

At the time, before confronting the Master of Li Hen Palace's Sea Without Bounds, Ling Zhenfei had taken a medicine, which was the Divine Medicine Second Life.

With this medicine, it was as if Ling Zhenfei had a second life.

However, the recovery required time, and during this, Ling Zhenfei received the sap of the Golden Leaf Tree, the Earth Elemental Stone, and the Wood Elemental Stone, along with Anna's healing.

Originally, simply waiting would have restored Ling Zhenfei's health, but Anna sensed the strange Northern Spiritual Energy in Ling Zhenfei, which was the essence of the Second Life and the medicine.

After absorbing both the Wood and Earth Elemental Stones, along with the restorative effects of the Golden Leaf Tree, not only was Ling Zhenfei cured physically.

The surplus spiritual energy also increased Ling Zhenfei's cultivation.

Now Ling Zhenfei had reached the later stage of the Pursue Heart State, and most unexpectedly, his power of the soul had significantly strengthened.

The greatest gain was the spiritual energy within his body, no longer merely simple spiritual energy, but contained elements of Earth and Wood elemental power.

The Earth Element was adept at defense, versatile in both offense and defense, while the Wood Elemental Power could adjust the body with potent healing and recovery effects.

So Ling Zhenfei's body had undergone a qualitative change, even though Anna was in a Wu Liang surrounded entirely by human cultivators' Wu Liang structures.

However, as long as Ling Zhenfei's power of the soul reached Anna, he could use the shape-shifting shadows to switch into the Wu Liang where Anna was held.

This large-scale shape-shifting shadow technique consumed a lot of power of the soul, but for Anna, Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to strive on.

Anna was shocked by Ling Zhenfei's appearance, nearly calling out.

But upon realizing it was Ling Zhenfei, Anna's shock turned to joy, momentarily lost for words.

"Princess Anna, I've come."

Anna looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Is it really you? You recovered so quickly?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's all thanks to the princess's help; otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so fast."

Anna said, "But how did you get here? It's incredibly dangerous."

Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as you're here, no danger is too great for me to come. I'm here to tell you, rest assured, I will find a way to rescue you."

Anna said, "Thank you."

They spoke to one another, sharing words, but always felt a bit awkward because they had only met a few times. Yet, Anna was willing to use her precious Primordial Stone to save Ling Zhenfei.

And while treating Ling Zhenfei, Alice had mentioned to him that Anna had liked him from the first time she saw him.

This left Ling Zhenfei speechless, as he preferred a more gradual development in relationships, although Anna was exceedingly beautiful, as lovely as a fairy.

But liking based on appearances is different from the kind that grows over time, where the affection is for the person themselves.

So, Ling Zhenfei understood Anna's heart, but because they weren't truly familiar with each other.
