"Compass Immortal, are you telling the truth? Is my father truly saved?"
"Thank you so much, truly, thank you so much, I…" Hearing this, Bai Ruochen was so excited that her words became incoherent.
Even Bai Suyan burst into tears again. Though she was crying, a joyful smile hung on her face.
"Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank young friend Chu Feng — this formation was provided by him."
"Besides, I've only understood the method but have yet to fully master it. Even if we were to set it up, we would still need to rely on young friend Chu Feng," Compass Immortal said with a smile.
"Chu Feng." Bai Ruochen looked at Chu Feng, not knowing what to say. But her glistening eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Senior Compass, although I have some materials on hand, they're still incomplete. Could I ask you to help me out?"
As Chu Feng spoke, he took out all the materials he possessed that were needed for the formation. Every single one was a rare and precious treasure, obtained from the White-browed Immortal after Chu Feng had killed him.
In truth, the White-browed Immortal's Universe Bag had contained nearly everything needed for the art of barriers — it was remarkably well-stocked.
However, setting up this particular formation still required quite a few materials they didn't have.
"This formation is complex, and the materials it requires are even more so. I cannot guarantee I have them all, but I can pool together what I have with young friend Chu Feng."
Because the formation demanded so many materials, even Compass Immortal wasn't sure whether his Universe Bag contained every last one, so he could only go through it piece by piece.
The rare treasures Compass Immortal had collected were indeed far more numerous than the White-browed Immortal's. Chu Feng had provided only a third of the materials, while Compass Immortal contributed nearly two-thirds.
Yet even so, there was still one material missing.
"This is bad. We could have been short of anything, but it had to be the hardest one to obtain." Compass Immortal smiled rather awkwardly.
"Thousand-Leaf Sparrow Tail Flower — what is that? Is it difficult to find?" Bai Ruochen asked.
"The Thousand-Leaf Sparrow Tail Flower isn't hard to find per se. The problem is obtaining it, because across the entire Martial Holy Land, there is only one place that possesses the Thousand-Leaf Sparrow Tail Flower, and that is the Elf Kingdom," Compass Immortal said.
"The Elf Kingdom." Upon hearing this name, Chu Feng, Bai Ruochen, and the others all felt a stir in their hearts.
"That's right — the place where the most powerful force in the Martial Holy Land is situated."
"As the undisputed overlord of the Martial Holy Land, the Elf Kingdom has never oppressed the human race or demon beasts. However, pride and arrogance are their defining traits. Even among their own kind, they classify elves into multiple ranks."
"Only those Ancient Elves with the purest bloodlines and the most outstanding talent are permitted to live within the Elf Kingdom."
"It is said that if an Ancient Elf's talent falls below their standard, they will be expelled from the Elf Kingdom at any time and reassigned to other territories."
"Therefore, the Elf Kingdom is not only forbidden territory for the human race and demon beasts — for most Ancient Elves as well, it is a forbidden place."
"This is precisely why obtaining anything from there is simply too difficult," Compass Immortal said.
