The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

The little Qilin peeked out from Niannian's arms, looking around curiously.

Little White's nine tails swayed gently, its fox eyes filled with shock.

It has lived for over a thousand years and has never seen a place like this.

Luo Tian's divine sense spread out, covering the entire small world.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, mountains, rivers, towns, villages, birds, and beasts all came to mind.

This world is not large, only a few thousand miles in circumference, but it has all the essential elements.

It is inhabited by tens of thousands of humans, thousands of elves, and various monsters and spirit beasts.

Among the human race, there are cultivators, but the highest level of cultivation is the Nascent Soul stage, and there are only a few of them.

There are also cultivators among the elves, the highest level of which is an old woman with the cultivation level of the early stage of Void Refinement.

But the old woman's breath was very weak, as if she had run out of oil and her days were numbered.

"Early stage of Void Refinement? This lower realm small world actually has cultivators at the Void Refinement stage?"

Luo Tian was somewhat surprised.

The highest-ranking cultivator he had ever seen on Earth was the Heavenly Mystery Elder, who was only at the early stage of the Supreme Martial God realm.

According to the sages, there may be ancestors in the Void Refinement stage or even the Body Integration stage on Penglai Immortal Island.

Unexpectedly, the old elven woman in this small world was actually at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

However, the old woman's breath was already very weak.

Her lifespan is coming to an end, and without a longevity elixir or pill, she probably won't last much longer.

"Niannian, let's go! Daddy can sense the aura of the Soul-Nourishing Wood."

Luo Tian carried Nian Nian and flew deeper into the small world.

The scent of the Soul-Nourishing Wood wafted from the direction of the Elven territory.

That direction was where the old woman was.

The territory of the elves lies in the deepest part of the small world.

There is a vast forest there, with towering trees and flowers everywhere.

In the center of the forest, there stands a giant tree, towering into the clouds, its trunk as thick as a mountain peak.

Houses are built on the giant trees, and the treehouses are connected by walkways.

The elves live in this giant tree.

Luo Tian landed in front of the giant tree and looked up.

Elven people were active in the tree canopy.

They have pointed ears, handsome faces, slender figures, and transparent wings on their backs.

Men and women, young and old, were all curiously observing this outsider.

"Human? How did you get in?"

An elven youth flew down from the tree, holding a wooden bow in his hand, the arrow tip aimed at Luo Tian.

His cultivation level was not high, only at the Golden Core stage, but his eyes were sharp.

"I wish to see your clan chief."

Luo Tian spoke calmly, exuding an aura of kingly authority.

"The clan chief is not someone anyone can just see whenever they want."

The young man's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

Little Niannian peeked out from Little Jin's back and said in a childish voice:

"Don't be fierce! My dad is very powerful! We're here to find the Soul-Nourishing Wood!"

The young man was taken aback and was about to speak when an old voice came from the treetops.

"Let them come up."

His voice was weak, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The young man put away his bow and arrows and stepped aside:

"The clan chief invites you to go up."

Luo Tian rose into the air and landed in front of the tallest treehouse in the giant tree.

The treehouse was large and contained some simple furniture, such as wooden tables, chairs, and beds.

An old woman lay on the bed, her face withered, her hair gray, and her eyes cloudy.

She was dressed in rough hemp clothing, and beside her was a cane engraved with ancient runes.

The old elven woman possessed genuine early-stage Void Refinement cultivation.

Little Niannian jumped down from Luo Tian's arms, ran to the bedside, and looked up at the old woman:

"Grandma, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

The old woman looked at Xiao Niannian with her cloudy eyes, a slight smile appearing on her lips:

"Good child, Grandma is not sick."

Grandma is just old and nearing her end.

"Nian Nian doesn't want you to die!"

Xiao Niannian's eyes reddened.

"Daddy has a magic pill that can save people! Daddy, please save the old lady!"

Luo Tian walked to the bedside and probed the old woman's body with his divine sense.

He had reached the early stage of the Refinement of Emptiness cultivation, but his meridians were exhausted, his dantian was depleted, and his lifespan was about to end.

She wasn't sick; her lifespan was coming to an end.

Although cultivators have a much longer lifespan than ordinary people, it is not unlimited.

A cultivator at the Refinement stage has a lifespan of approximately five thousand years.

The old woman has lived for at least 4,800 years and is nearing the end of her life.

"You possess the Soul-Nourishing Wood."

Luo Tian asked directly.

The old woman looked at Luo Tian, ​​a glint of shrewdness flashing in her cloudy eyes:

"Are you a cultivator from outside? Your cultivation level is quite high; I can't see through you."

"Only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

A sharp light flashed in Luo Tian's eyes.

"I need Soul-Nourishing Wood. Name your price!"

The old woman was silent for a moment, then took out a rectangular wooden box from beside her pillow, about a meter long.

The wooden box was opened, and inside lay a piece of pitch-black wood, about a meter long and as thick as an arm, with golden patterns on its surface.

It was indeed Soul-Nourishing Wood, several times larger than the piece Luo Tian had obtained at the auction.

"I found this piece of soul-nourishing wood in a historical site when I was young."

It's been with me for three thousand years, but I've never used it.

The old woman's voice was extremely weak.

"Since you need it, I can give it to you, but I have two conditions."

"Please speak."

"First, my people are descendants of the elves from the cultivation world."

Shennong brought us to this small world back then, and we've never gone back.

For tens of thousands of years, we have been trapped here.

The old woman looked at Luo Tian, ​​a glimmer of hope appearing in her cloudy eyes.
