Chapter 215: Practice Diligently
A momentous event was about to unfold in the enchanted realm of the Sacred Mountain’s summit. The grand arrival of the Elven Empress and the Fairy Empress, two distinguished sovereigns whose presence was marked by a procession of otherworldly splendor.
The Elven Empress emerged from the mountainside. Her flowing gown was woven from the finest threads of nature itself. Leaves and flowers adorned her lustrious golden hair, and a crown of woven flowers rested gently upon her brow. Her presence exuded an aura of wisdom and serenity, and her stunning blue eyes held the eternal beauty of the sky.
The delicate and radiant figure of the pink-haired Fairy Empress floated next to the Elven Empress. Her gown was shimmering like dewdrops in the morning light. Her wings, iridescent and delicate as gossamer, glimmered with an ethereal light that cast prismatic reflections upon the surroundings. Her presence carried an air of enchantment and whimsy, and her laughter echoed like tinkling bells.
Their entourages followed in procession. With their tall and lithe figures, the Elves walked in perfect harmony with the forest. Graceful and powerful, strode through the path to the Sacred Mountain’s summit. While fairies flitted about like living beams of light. Their wings created a symphony of delicate sounds.
Morfina the elf and Yaereene the fairy arrived with their grand entrance. Their entourages brought several treasure chests as souvenirs of their adventures.
Upon arrival at the summit, they were warmly welcomed by Miko and their old friends.
"Morfy, Yae, welcome back~" Miko waved her hand.
"El-" Morfina was about to speak, but someone nudged her head.
"Miko, everyone, we’re back. I’m happy to finally meet you again!" Yaereene flew closer and greeted everyone.
"Phew, that was a long trip across the world. We brought some souvenirs from our adventures and merchant careers. Please accept them as our return gifts." Morfina gave a signal to the elves and fairies behind her.
They placed those treasure chests in front of the shrine priestess.
Miko thought those gifts were just some complementaries. Yet, the three chests were soon piled up until they resembled a three-meter-high pyramid.
"Thank you for your generosity. It was a long and tiring journey. Please come inside and let me brew you a cup of tea. We are truly interested in hearing about your adventures." Miko ushered Morfina and Yaereene to enter the shrine abode.
Yaereene peeked into the shrine abode and didn’t feel comfortable with everyone going inside.
As if knowing what the pink fairy was thinking, Miko invited everyone in. "It’s okay. Our backyard is spacious."
"Master, Lady Zera moved the pavilion hall next to the guest pavilion..." Gabriella whispered to her master.
"Oh goodness... Gab-chan, please lead the entourages to the pavilion hall and brew hot tea." Miko looked aside. She almost forgot about it.
"Affirmative." Gabriella nodded. She and several disciples guided the elves and fairies to the pavilion hall.
Morfina and Yaereene nodded to their people before entering the shrine abode, following Miko. Ella, Evelyn, and Kirara soon followed inside.
However, Jophiel and several disciples received an assignment from their master to handle the gifts. Therefore, they moved those treasure chests to the warehouse and asked Sakura to help sort the gifts.

"Yeah~ to think our naive elf and little fairy have become authentic Elven Empress and Fairy Empress." Sylvia wiped her tears as if she was touched by her friends’ improvements.
"Well... we only reached 8th Rank, not really the Empress. We must strive for the best to serve our Goddess Master better." Morfina put her hands on the table, closed her eyes and smiled in satisfaction at everything that had happened.
Her journey to another world was like a storm in the ocean, but the results were satisfying and worth the efforts.
"The weakest in the group used to be Evelyn and Ella, but they have reached 8th Rank like us too. They are the ones who train the hardest to improve their strength so they don’t lose to the others." Yaereene admired her human friends.
"It’s not worth mentioning. We couldn’t have reached this point without our Goddess Master’s blessings." Ella was flattered, but she didn’t dare take the credit.
Her motivation was to not be left behind by the other members. To serve the Almighty One, she required more strength.
"Xentia, Lyla, please come here and join us! I need help with your advanced abilities." Sylvia waved her hand to friends who happened to be passing by.
"Alright." Xentia walked over.
"..." Lyla glanced at the workshop. Zi Xuan still wasn’t finished. Thus, she joined everyone to the garden pavilion.
"Phew..." Rafaela breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad no plants or any materials were damaged. Xentia only took a sample of each subject and was done with it.
"You see... Can you share the power scaling comparison between this world and Vrelenia? We only know our power level by this magic item or aura color intensity. However, I want to know your settings." Sylvia showed a power measurement magic item. She asked as she wished to know everyone’s improvements in recent years.
"Golden, and very deep one. You have reached beyond the 10th Rank, but you can’t ascend. You are already half-immortal." Lyla looked at Sylvia in awe as she knew Sylvia started from the Vrelenia’s Saint level.
"Okay, please wait. I have done research on the comparison. However, we don’t have data from the Divine World." Xentia accesses her super network and retrieves related reports.
"Yeah, Vrelenia’s God is measured by a level above 200 and a golden aura, but the golden aura here is only mortal’s Deity. I started as a Devil Saint, but it’s still not even on par with the local Saint. I’m probably at 6th Rank Peak Stage at that time." Sylvia tapped her cheek as she began to wonder.
"Hmm~ If it weren’t for our Goddess Master’s blessings, divine weapons, and artifacts... we might have been bullied a lot." Yaereene chuckled in amusement.
"Even so, some of us still encountered many predicaments despite possessing those items."
"We still can’t unleash those items’ full potential then. We got them because of the previous world-class decisive battle."
"What if our master wants to go to the Divine World? Are you ready to face the Gods and Immortals?"
Morfina stated something surprising. It was the truth, and everyone pondered about it for a few seconds.
"No, we won’t ascend any time soon. Also, we won’t visit the Divine World to fight against villains just to help He-Dao. There are still more than a thousand ways to help our Goddess Master." Miko raised her hand, trying to enlighten everyone with reassuring words.
"Miko, do you know something about Elysia’s plans? She hasn’t said any details about it." Evelyn asked in a relieved tone.
"Not entirely, but mama doesn’t intend to help them for free. We’re going to play with them under our conditions first." Miko looked at the humble abode and smiled gently.
"???" Everyone was wondering because they still couldn’t comprehend Miko’s answer. Still, they accepted it because they had great faith in Elysia.
’You forgot Goddess Elysia is invincible as long as her opponent doesn’t have anti-magic power greater than hers like the max-level Ruvoid God, Prysm Sephiran. That thing couldn’t hold the candle compared to Goddess Elysia if that thing possessed no hyper-anti-magic abilities. If our visit to the Divine World will involve violence, she shall gain absolute victory in the blink of an eye.’ Xentia reminded everyone of one absolute truth via telepathy.
"Err... We completely understand, but don’t mention that thing’s name ever again. Morfy said we need to achieve more if we want to help our master. We’re a big family, and we should grow together." Ella closed her eyes and nodded in agreement.
"Oh, this is the comparison ranks. In general, we only need to lower the rank by two. However, don’t be too fixated on the rank because it is not an absolute measure of someone’s strength." Xentia showed the comparison chart on her virtual screen to everyone.
"!!!" Rafaela moved aside to get a better view of that virtual screen.
She was the only disciple in the garden pavilion, and she had to know more about the mentioned other world!
"Yup, profound cultivation isn’t the only thing. Weapons, techniques, comprehensions, laws, tricks, and many other things can be used to measure someone’s overall strength." Miko agreed with Xentia’s advice.
She added a little additional explanation with Rafaela as an example. "With proper preparation and the right method, even an Immortal can end up seriously injured against my disciple."
"???" Rafaela was confused but felt a bit bashful when everyone looked at her. She had never even fought an Immortal, and her master said she could injure that kind of God-class being!?
"Mmm! I trust you. So, I did start from 6th Rank, huh. Raf-chan~ I’m a 10th Rank devil, but I started my journey at the same rank as you now. Practice diligently. With our group’s support, you will reach 10th Rank in less than five years." Sylvia tried to motivate Miko’s disciple.
"Thank you for your advice, Elder Sylvia. I will continue to train diligently to meet master’s expectations." Rafaela grasped her fist with reverence.
"Just don’t rush it." Miko added a little.
"Fufu, we were distracted by business, career, and the primary quest to find our missing master. Our practice was not optimal. However, we can focus on surpassing the mortal boundary now." Morfina covered her mouth with a folding fan.
