but.
This World Tree is ultimately only formed from a portion of its branches.
Although its aura was equally powerful, it lacked a trace of spiritual charm.
It's like a puppet on standby.
Even so, it's still not something Gu Yun can contend with right now.
The World Tree's branches spread out in the void, all its trunks winding and coiling like a giant bronze dragon, resembling a massive net.
At each corner of this giant net, where the branches meet, there is a star; these stars must be the places where the elven royal family resides.
At the end of the branches, upon closer inspection, one can easily discover countless runes of unknown meaning, shimmering with a pale green light.
These runes seemed to have faded, leaving only a framework, but even so, from such a distance, Gu Yun could still feel an inexplicable majesty from them, symbolizing antiquity. Perhaps this was the language passed down among the ancient gods and demons of the upper realm.
Although the meaning is unknown, its function is not hard to guess.
Looking at the turquoise barrier that enveloped the entire star field, Gu Yun sighed inwardly that this must be the Elf King's Realm they had been talking about.
Xiangling, who was following at the back, gazed nostalgically at the familiar barrier. When she was young, she had been protected by the barrier and remained untouched by the elements.
Unfortunately, the fact that it is impervious to wind and frost does not mean that there is not a trace of wind or rain inside the barrier.
She watched with some concern as Gu Yun walked on without a care in the world. If Gu Yun hadn't stared at her with those cold, scarlet eyes earlier, making her keep her mouth shut the whole way, she would have wanted to warn Gu Yun by now.
If she remembered correctly, the Elf King Realm was indeed as Yun Qingzi had said, originating from the World Tree, and would isolate all living beings who were not of the Elf King race. The Elf race was a very stubborn race, and bloodline was of utmost importance to them.
Even ordinary elves would be isolated by the barrier without the introduction of a member of the royal family.
The only difference is the degree of the reaction.
On these stars closest to the World Tree, only the noble elven royal family can receive the World Tree's protection.
Ordinary elves reside on the outer layer of stars, which, while also receiving the blessings of the World Tree, are not protected by the barrier.
Gu Yun is just a human, and even with that amazing disguise skill, he probably wouldn't be able to pass through this barrier, since it's a barrier built on the World Tree.
For thousands of years, it has protected the elven royal family.
This shows that although Xiangling has fallen on hard times, her mindset at the bottom level remains unchanged. She still considers herself superior and inherently believes that humans are inherently inferior to elves, and that their methods are simply no match for elves, especially the royal family.
However, her worries eventually turned into nothing but bubbles slapping against her face.
Just as she was pondering what words Gu Yun should use to get the two people in front of her or someone familiar in the clan to introduce him to the inner sanctum, Gu Yun had already passed through the Elf King's Realm as if nothing had happened.
In a mere instant, everything that happened completely overturned Xiangling's understanding.
This shattered the unparalleled image of the World Tree rooted in her memory.
In her eyes, this made her feel even more passionate.
Who exactly is this person?
Even the Elf King's Realm, built with the World Tree, could "deceive" it.
She had lived in the human realm for quite some time and had never heard of a powerful figure with such abilities.
Perhaps this man in front of us really can turn the Elf royal family upside down?
The things the elven royal family had done had long since eroded the weight of that title in her heart.
It's a pity that Gu Yun doesn't seem to want to hear these things, otherwise she would be happy to tell him so that Gu Yun can deepen his disgust for the royal family.
As Gu Yun and his group of four entered the barrier, the surrounding void began to undergo subtle changes.
Countless green fluorescent lights floated in this virtual space. Perhaps because of the World Tree standing in this virtual space, the air around it was thin, fresh and vibrant, unlike outside the barrier where one needed to protect oneself with air.
At the end of some slender branches, some guards were on duty and changing shifts. Each guard's rank was based on a sacred body, a foundation that no empire in the human world could rival.
The Holy Body is already a distinguished guest in the human world, and would never be reduced to a mere gatekeeper.
These elven royalty, though comfortably residing within the barrier, seemed to show no sign of neglecting their duties, which only fueled Gu Yun's curiosity about the elven royal family.
It's perfectly normal for people to be careless in a comfortable environment, but the Elven royal family maintained a necessary level of vigilance. Something unusual must be going on, indicating that there are some important secrets within the Elven royal family that require them to maintain this posture at all times.
Gu Yun's team was of a high level; the half-step Xiantian members were considered top-tier anywhere. Many low-ranking elven royalty passing by bowed to them instinctively.
Along the way, Gu Yun began to ponder where Yun Yin would be. The planet of the Elf Royal Family, located inside the barrier, was divided into three areas: the canopy area, the trunk area, and the root area.
Based on the tiered classification, it should be in the canopy area?
Now, Gu Yun and the others are heading towards one of the planets surrounding the tree.
The half-step innate realm's flight speed was very fast. If Xiang Ling hadn't been of a lower rank and needed to be taken care of, they could have gone even faster. Before long, the four of them passed through the clouds and arrived at the ground of a planet.
"Everyone, we've arrived. Please follow me."
Yun Ming flicked his sleeve and strode forward, his tone becoming more assertive on his own turf.
Gu Yun and Yun Qingzi nodded and followed closely behind with Xiang Ling. On the way, Gu Yun subconsciously glanced at the branches of the World Tree that stretched across the heavens and earth and connected to the outside world, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
If the goddess of life really intervenes, this trip will be a near-death experience...
Gu Yun took a deep breath and shifted his gaze away from the branches brimming with vitality. Beneath the disguise, his scarlet eyes appeared even more profound.
As Gu Yun passed through the lush green forest, a burst of light opened up his view.
The scene before me is breathtaking: green hills and clear waters, houses nestled by flowing streams, lush greenery, and stunning beauty.
If Gu Yun had come to this beautiful place for a different purpose, her mood might have been much better.
Unfortunately, he was unable to enjoy this beautiful scenery.
The surrounding spiritual energy was dense and abundant, likely thanks to the World Tree's bounty. One could even faintly hear the faint pulsation emanating from countless tree roots underground.
As a result of this gift, even ordinary trees have acquired a touch of spirituality.
"This is the Azure Star, the peaceful home of my lineage of elven royalty."
Yunming slowly stopped, turned around and looked at the three of them, his eyes filled with a strange sense of pride.
