Carlotta’s eyes couldn’t help but show surprise. Didn’t Alia ntion before that dragons were too unruly and would have offspring with many creatures, including humans? Could she have encountered one now?
"Whoosh!"
Outside the cave, Alia landed.
She shook off the nurous earth dragons and flew deeper inside.
"Any discoveries?"
Alia walked over, asked, and surveyed the surroundings.
When she saw the skeleton, her eyes also showed surprise.
Carlotta said, "I got a rare item, and it’s quite good."
She handed the Moon’s Protection to Alia. Alia glanced at it and then handed it back to Carlotta, letting Carlotta use it for self-preservation.
This was because Alia leaned more towards ranged combat, while Carlotta leaned towards close-quarters combat and needed to take greater risks.
"Is this a dragon man?"
Carlotta pointed at the bones on the ground and asked the knowledgeable Alia.
Alia pondered for a mont and gave her judgnt, saying, "Probably not."
Carlotta was a little surprised: "This isn’t a dragon man? Then what strange race is it?"
Alia thought for a mont and said in appropriate words, "Actually, dragon man can be born in two situations. One is the offspring of dragons and humans, and the other is transcendent beings who have embarked on the Dragon Transformation Path. Judging from the situation here, it should be the latter."
She pointed to sothing like a stone vat next to the table, indicating that there was a residual aura of dragon blood inside, which should have been used for cultivation. Dragon n born from the offspring of dragons and humans did not need to use this thod of cultivation.
Carlotta was a little confused and quickly asked, "Wait, what is the Dragon Transformation Path?"
Alia said, "It’s not surprising that you don’t know. In fact, very few people know. The paths to transcendence in this world have never been limited to just the Knight Path, the Magic Path, and the Alchemy Path."
Carlotta’s heart was greatly shaken. She never expected to hear such astonishing news.
She took a deep breath and said, "So there’s a fourth path, the Dragon Transformation Path? Why haven’t I heard of it before?"
Alia explained, "Because the Dragon Transformation Path has never truly beco a regular and widespread path. People’s understanding of the Dragon Transformation Path cos from tracing history and discoveries in ruins. Perhaps in the ancient past, the Dragon Transformation Path was prevalent, but it didn’t leave many traces. The people here might have just obtained the cultivation thod of the Dragon Transformation Path from sowhere and wanted to try cultivating it, but most likely, sothing went wrong during the cultivation process, which is why they died here."
The Dragon Transformation Path is the process of a person evolving towards a dragon, as dragons are considered the most powerful creatures.
Outside this location, there were many earth dragons inhabiting it. Perhaps the person who walked the Dragon Transformation Path back then wanted to use these earth dragons to help their cultivation, but ultimately, sothing still went wrong.
Even Alia didn’t know much about this path, only that it existed.
"In comparison, more people walk the Faith Path, which was once extrely prevalent."
Alia then ntioned the fifth path to transcendence.
Carlotta’s eyes widened, "What is the Faith Path?"
Alia explained that this path was very special. Everyone needed to believe in a so-called deity, pray daily, and gather faith.
When their cultivation reached a certain level, they could also harvest faith from believers of the sa category to strengthen themselves.
"Do you rember the extinct Continent? The Faith Path was extrely popular on that continent. The reason why that Continent collapsed and sank into the sea, becoming the current Forbidden Sea, is also related to the collapse of the Faith Path."
Alia said softly.
She could only learn about such ancient events through so books that ordinary people couldn’t see.
The Faith Path was truly at its peak, with nurous beings called deities appearing, ruling the entire continent, and even wanting to encroach upon the North and South Continents.
What caused the final upheaval, no one knows.
Alia’s expression beca a little more serious, "It is said that the Faith Path went wrong. People built indescribable monsters in their faith, and countless strange phenona accompanied everyone. People died inexplicably, and even the deities could not escape misfortune."
In short, the final result was the sinking of the entire Continent.
The current Forbidden Sea is still full of strange phenona, making people afraid to enter it. There are many "unclean" things within.
Carlotta felt a chill just by listening a little. When she was sailing on the Star Sea, she had approached the Forbidden Sea many tis.
At that ti, she had also heard so strange legends about the Forbidden Sea, but she wasn’t afraid as she didn’t enter it. It was only now, after understanding that the entire path to transcendence, the Faith Path, had collapsed due to those strange phenona, that she felt a sense of dread and felt that the Forbidden Sea buried major problems.
"Are there any other paths to transcendence, a sixth one?"
Carlotta couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes, but I don’t know anymore. I only know that it still exists."
Alia said, shaking her head again. "There’s no need to pay too much attention to these things. They are all dust of history. At least the current Magic Path, Knight Path, and Alchemy Path are enough for people to walk with peace of mind."
Carlotta felt that this world might be much larger than she had imagined.
She suddenly had the urge to travel to various places in the world, first to traverse the North Continent, and then the South Continent. By then, if she beca powerful enough, perhaps places like the Forbidden Sea would not be impossible to visit.
"Let’s go. If we stay any longer, those earth dragons will return."
Alia turned and walked out.
Besides the rare item, the Moon’s Protection, there was nothing else worth paying attention to in this place.
Carlotta withdrew her thoughts and walked out of the cave.
At this mont, she felt the ground vibrating. Looking up, she could see a group of earth dragons galloping back, the vibrations caused by them.
Before Carlotta could move to leave, she felt hands reaching under her armpits, and then she was hugged from behind by Alia.
Carlotta didn’t expect Alia to suddenly hug her. In this posture, she could even feel sothing soft against her back.
"I’ll fly you."
Alia said, and then the Elven Wings appeared behind her, carrying herself and quickly soaring into the sky.
Carlotta felt her earlobes heat up because Alia’s breath was gently blowing past them, giving her a strange sensation. Moreover, the feeling against her back was indeed too clear.
’Alia usually doesn’t dress provocatively, I didn’t expect her to be so well-endowed.’
Carlotta thought with a subtle expression.
"Roar roar roar!"
Below, the nurous earth dragons roared upwards, their roars shaking the surroundings, but they were helpless against the two people flying high in the sky, only able to watch them leave.
Alia took Carlotta and flew far away. After the earth dragon disappeared from sight, she landed.
The inner regions of the Sky Island were filled with countless monsters and dense dangers. The sky deprived cover, and without fearless strength, it was not suitable for flying for extended periods.
After landing, Carlotta’s inner turmoil also subsided.
Next, the two continued to move forward in a seemingly exploratory manner. In reality, the route was under Carlotta’s control, and she was walking towards a destination.
Gradually, they arrived at a desolate land.
Here, the earth was cracked, withered bones were strewn everywhere, and charred wooden stakes were scattered about, revealing the traces of ti.
It seems that in the distant past, a shocking battle had occurred here, causing it to be destroyed to this extent and unable to recover for a long ti.
Alia looked around carefully and then made a judgnt, "A battle that could destroy a place like this ans the participants were terrifying. Fortunately, judging by the traces, these are not battle marks left from this Sky Island opening. That battle happened in a very ancient past."
In the desolate land, there were no resources, so no monsters would stay in this place.
Carlotta looked at the map, and the Elven Wings were in this area.
She imdiately walked over, her gaze swept the surroundings.
The ground was covered in crisscrossing cracks, like wounds on the earth, with a slightly ferocious feel.
Gradually, Carlotta arrived at a huge crack.
"Did you find anything?"
Alia walked over and asked.
"I was just looking around. Since it’s a place left by a battle between very powerful individuals, perhaps sothing was left behind."
Carlotta said with a smile.
"A place like this has likely been visited by many people."
Alia said.
Even so, she didn’t mind looking around and exploring.
Carlotta leaped into the crack.
The crack was very deep, but it looked like just a barren pit. She took out her Dawn Sword and began to dig around, excavating a large pit in the ground in one area.
At this ti, Alia was wandering around and did not notice Carlotta purposefully digging.
Carlotta dug a pit several ters deep before finding sothing.
She slowed her movents and dug gently, finally unearthing a decayed skeleton. It looked like a woman’s skeleton, but there was a pair of crystal-clear wings on its back. These were the Elven Wings she was looking for.
As the Elven Wings appeared, a strange aura surged into the sky, attracting Alia, who was wandering nearby.
"Carlotta, what did you find?"
Alia flew to the top of the pit and looked down.
Upon seeing this, Alia couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise and descent.
Carlotta said, "I was just digging around casually, I didn’t expect to actually find sothing. Is this an elf?"
The pair of Elven Wings were too conspicuous, enough to prove their identity.
Alia nodded. "It is indeed an elf’s corpse. But her bones have decayed, yet these wings are still crystal clear... Were these wings specially cultivated? Specialized wing cultivation magic? Flying magic? Or knight path?"
For a mont, Alia had many speculations.
Ordinary Elven Wings will also wither and decay along with the skeleton of the body, but the situation before her was clearly different.
"Regardless, this is a good thing."
Carlotta said with a smile, stepping forward to remove the Elven Wings.
It was a very easy process.
It was said that during the growth stage of elves, there was also a shedding of wings. The wings on their backs will shed and be replaced by new wings. The shed wings will also be sold by the elves themselves as specialties.
For elves, Elven Wings were sowhat similar to hair and nails, parts of their bodies.
After removing the Elven Wings, Carlotta imdiately said, "Alia, I plan to make a Flying Card."
After becoming a Listener, the number of cards she could make increased significantly. She wasn’t in a hurry to make most of them because she didn’t need them, but she definitely had to make a Flying Card.
The ability to fly was an irresistible temptation for transcendent beings.
Alia nodded. "You can make the Flying Card here. Besides the main material, are the other materials sufficient?"
"They are sufficient."
"Then I’ll go look around the area again."
Alia flapped her wings and flew away.
Carlotta, on the other hand, took out a table and chairs from her storage card, placed the Elven Wings on the table, then took out blank cards and various other materials, her expression beca more serious.
Using Elven Wings to make a Flying Card might not necessarily have better effects than the wings of avian monsters, but the Elven Wings before her were different. Their main body had died millions of years ago, yet the wings remained crystal clear and bright, undoubtedly of high value.
Carlotta felt that if she successfully made a card using these Elven Wings, it would be one of the three major cards in her hand. Its value might not compare to the Speed Card infused with Wind God Stone, but it would likely be higher than the Storage Card, ranking second in value among her cards.
She began to make it serious. Even though her past card-making success rate was 100%, she did not let her guard down.
The Elven Wings were ticulously ground into crystal-clear silver powder, mixed with designated materials, and drawn onto the blank card with a brush, outlining one mysterious rune after another...
In the blink of an eye, a card with a pair of silver wings and nurous arcane runes appeared before her.
As the card appeared, magic surged, and a luster flowed.
"It’s done!"
There were no accidents during the card-making process, which made Carlotta feel good.
She held the card and infused it with magic. Imdiately, a pair of slightly illustrated Elven Wings appeared behind her, as if they had beco a part of her body, allowing her to use them at will.
With a flap of her wings, Carlotta flew directly out of the pit and soared into the sky under the illumination of the Scarlet Moon.
This scene imdiately caught Alia’s attention. Alia flew over from not far away, looked at the wings behind Carlotta, and couldn’t help but smile faintly.
"We might both be able to impersonate elves."
Whether it was the Elven Wings constructed by Alia’s mory magic or the Elven Wings transford by Carlotta’s Flying Card, they looked no different from the wings of real elves on the surface.
Hearing Alia say that, Carlotta’s heart stirs.
She planned to visit the Elven Holand in the future, but as far as she knew, the elves were quite xenophobic, so she might really have to impersonate an elf then.
Of course, that was a matter for the future.
Next, Carlotta flew around in the air, adapting to the state of flight. Only after becoming familiar with flying could she fight while flying.
