In a particular part of the Flowerhead Forest, the void suddenly cracked until a new scenery appear, which makes the place looks strange for a moment. In that circular door, a beautiful man and a gorgeous teen girl with a purple hair hop out from there.

Of course, it was Cole and Celia.

After he fully check all the improvement inside the [Inner World], he immediately wanted to resume his unfinished business before. After he thought, he decided that the matter about the elves are the most pressing. He's already very late with the so called competition at the Five Element Sect and there's no more pressing matters than this, he thought. However, he just hope that Harold is still in the cave, if not, he don't know where to find their place much less to help them.

And so, along with Celia, he open a newly improved [Gate] near the cave.

Without stopping for a moment, he control the gravitational pull of himself and fly towards the place. Celia obviously follow.

"There's a person inside, it's the Harold guy from Woodland Elf Clan before." Celia said seconds later after they land at the entrance of the cave.

Cole look at her puzzled and ask, "You can see through walls now?"

She shrug, "In a sense, yes, but not quite." She paused, "The special move that I used is called [Divine Sense]. It was the ability to see things through soul or to some point, the sixth sense. Its very useful and must have for cultivators and beast alike."

He nodded and was about to try when a cloaked man appear at the mouth of the cave. It was none other than Harold, probably one of the Archer Warrior of Woodland Elf Clan that was tasked with researching help or possible solution of their dying Tree of Life.

However, eventhough he was relieved that latter was still here, he still felt bad when he thought that he were gone for almost nine years, leading him to conclusion that the guy wait for him for all those years...

Suddenly, a special skill appear on his mind, [Time Dilation]!

Was it possible that less than nine years had passed on that independent space but different at the real world?! After all, there was a [Ethereal Time Crystal] in the grand formation!

He asked the [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] that that was in his Sea of Consciousness about this,

"Yes, the time inside the space was different from the outside world. If I'm not wrong, the time difference inside is 1:10, ten days inside but only one day outside." It paused, "In fact, I was inside that space for a very long time that I come to the point that I just stop counting the passing days..."

Cole just nodded to the artifact spirit and he sunk on his own thought.

According to the time difference of the independent space of 1:10, the eight years that passed inside was just less than ten months outside... Wow! Although ten months is still a long time and disrupt most of his past tasks, it was way more better than eight years!

"You're back, seniors. Greetings." Harold greeted after he removed the his disguise, relief apparent on his voice.

Cole nodded, "Yes, but I'm sorry if we're a bit late."

Harold hurriedly shake his head, "Not a problem senior, not at all!" He paused and look at the pair with hopeful eyes, "Are your tasks finished? You'll accompany me back now?" He asked.

Cole laugh dryly inside.

"Uh-hm... I could now. But remember, I don't have the ability to solve the problem of your Tree of Life, I will only try to help you determine the problem."

Harold immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, I know. In fact, we are instructed to find all of those who can help us and that definitely includes you."

"Allright." Cole nodded, "Should we leave or we'll have to wait for your companions?"

Harold shake his head, "No, we could leave right away. We don't have to wait for them, they must be back on our place already or they might take much longer."

"Good."

Harold bow his head and he rummage something inside his cloak and took out an small orb of some sort.

Meanwhile, Cole ask Celia through their [Soul Link], "Are Elves can be trusted? We're going on their territory, it'll be bad if we've got attack by them."

"Woodland Elves are one of the purest and honest clan known. Dishonesty and deceiving is something they deem their greatest sin. With their noble like disposition, you can be assure that there's a very low chance that what you're worrying of would happen." She answered.

"Allright,"

While they were conversing through their [Soul Link], the data of the small orb that's Harold was holding appear,

Portable Teleportation Device [Heaven-Rank] A one-time use teleportation device that could send upto maximum of five people. Teleportation will be unstable if used by more person.

Thinking that his special guest didn't know the thing he was holding, Harold immediately inform Cole, "This is a one time use teleportation equipment that could send upto maximum of five people to our place. Don't worry, this is very stable and definitely safe."

Cole nodded and answer, "I know,"

Harold didn't find any wrong with that as this item was a common live saving item for them elves, he thought it was the same with humans. Its not odd if his senior know this kind of item. In fact, this just further convince him that his senior Cole have a very powerful background, someone that could give a bottle of high quality pills with pill mark is definitely not someone with simple background could give out something like that casually.

"This item are given to us so that we could directly send our helper that we manage to find. In some occasion that we encounter difficulties, this could also be use for us to escape." He added.

Cole frown, "Difficulties?" As far as he knew, Elves should be one of the peaceful race, if they ask for help, there should be no difficulties right?

This time, it was Celia who answer, "Law of the jungle is what govern this world, the strong eat the weak. As their Tree of Life is currently weak, their overall combat power definitely got weak too. If the word come out, they'll be hunted down mostly by humans."

Without them saying directly, he get what Celia mean. Elves are creatures with ethereal beauty, be it a man or a lady. Knowing his kinds, they'll definitely hunt the elves if they knew they were at weak state and be used as ...playthings.

"What if the others approach those with bad intents?" He can't help but asked this question.

If the other elves like Harold ask help those with rotten soul and brought them to their secret place, there is a very high chance thay they'll be raided in their own turf. In addition, if their secret location by those people, they might bring others.

"No need to worry. We might not be as good as Spirit Race on judging someone's personality through soul, but our ability are decent enough to see through with those with low cultivation. We elves are favorite child of nature, our sensitivity towards one's quality are superb enough." Harold answered.

Cole nodded, "If you say so..."

Harold smile and crushed the orb he was holding.

The familiar sensation of Space-Energy and teleportation course through Cole's body immediately, he knew that the process immediately start. On the process, with his sensitivity with Space and familiar process of teleportation, he felt and see that the process are very stable.

It seems after he breakthrough to Nascent Soul-Stage with his Space affinity, his sensitivity with it improved by a very large margin. He don't know of how much he improved as he don't have someone to compare to, but he felt that it must be massive.

He also have the skill of [Teleportation] but compare to this, he knew that it fall behind, after all, his only have the ability to send him to what he can eyes can currently see but this one can send up to miles away, which is great.

And so, he seize that chance to see and felt the whole process in hopes of learning the principle behind it and also improve his current skill.

Fortunately, with his perfect sensitivity towards Space and the addition of his [Heavenly Eyes], it becomes easy by many fold. However, since teleportation is an instantaneous movement of sending from one place to another, the process only lasted for a second which is not enough for him to produce instant result.

Still, the sensation is already engraved and familiar to him, he only have to practice and he'll produce an result he wanted in the near future. This time, he must focus on elves business first.

Even so, he only open his eyes five seconds later. At first, Harold thought something bad happen to Cole and want to check him but he was blocked by Celia. When he look at her with inquiry in his eyes, she just shake her head and put her finger to her mouth, signaling him to keep quite. It then dawn to him that his Senior might be someone with affinity with Space and might have received some kind of enlightenment with the teleportation, which is a move of Space-Path.

When he saw him opening his eyes, he can't help but said to him, "Senior is talented indeed, even improving himself with all the chance."

"You flatter me, Mr. Harold. I just received a small enlightenment."

Harold just smile widely but choose to not reply to that as he can't help but felt wronged at that moment. A genius level talent are indeed different with mediocre kind, while the latter like him are asking for even a one chance enlightenment, the former just needed to wait for the chance. What's more, that was an enlightenment about Space, one of the superior element and should be something hard to comprehend and encounter.

"Warrior Harold, welcome back." A female elf approach them, it was one of the two of the current watcher of the teleportation point.

Harold face the female elf and happily said, "Yes, and this is the one I managed to ask for help, Master Cole and Lady Celia."

The female elf solemnly bow at Cole, "Welcome, esteem Master and Lady. We are very thankful for your assistance."

"We just wanted to help," he responded.

The female elf raise her head and smile with full sincerity. "I already send my fellow guard to inform the Matriarch. Please follow me and I'll guide you to your accommodation."

Cole nodded and they both follow the beautiful elf.
