"It is said that twins occasionally experience telepathic connections. Now, the transformation by the 'Star Crown' and the expansion of Xue Li's spiritual range by the 'Infinite Spirit Realm' have amplified the previously negligible telepathic connection. The vast amount of star power gathered in Xue Li's spiritual domain is also being transmitted to her twin sister," Li Jia, a non-living entity, explained while maintaining the magic array, analyzing the situation, and answering questions.

Upon understanding the issue, Jin Luosha quickly cast the "Infinite Spirit Realm" on Ye Ge as well. However, this doubled the duration of the transformation process for the "Dream Star Crown" and also doubled the mental strain on Chen Xuanfeng. Fortunately, Chen Xuanfeng's mental resilience, coupled with the continuous replenishment of Nine Yin True Qi, allowed him to endure.

"Fortunately, these sisters' minds are not fully developed. Otherwise, in such a contest, they would surely cooperate with the power of the 'Star Crown' to counterattack me. At that point, even if I remained unharmed, the effectiveness of the elf contract would certainly be shattered, rendering all my efforts worthless," Chen Xuanfeng thought to himself as he channeled his mental energy, feeling relieved.

As the stars rose and set, time crept by until the sky gradually brightened and the east began to glow. Only then did the transformation process of the "Star Crown" completely conclude.

The star power that had filled the magic array suddenly began to swirl, converging into the Star Crown like a whale sucking in water. At the same time, the silver light threads on Ye Ge and Xue Li's bodies completely disappeared, and the magical runes on their foreheads gradually faded. After a night of repeated struggles, the connection of this contract not only remained intact but became even stronger due to continuous tempering, deeply embedding itself into the souls of the two elf girls and merging with their own minds. From now on, even if the "Dream Sage" were to be resurrected, it would be impossible to break this bond.

Then, Chen Xuanfeng was met with an even greater surprise.

When the outer sealing array was lifted, a beam of white light suddenly shot out from the "Dream Star Crown," illuminating the ground near Chen Xuanfeng. As Chen Xuanfeng and the others followed the light, they discovered that it was shining on the spatial pouch that Chen Xuanfeng had opened earlier but had not yet closed. A green ring, responding to the white light, slowly rose into the air.

This nameless, exquisite ring was the one Chen Xuanfeng had seen in the underground palace of Saint Spirit Mountain, placed alongside the "Doomsday Horn" and the "Eternal Holy Grail." It had later fallen into Chen Xuanfeng's hands in the "Red Glory Royal City." However, Chen Xuanfeng had never known its origin or purpose, so he had kept it in his spatial pouch along with other treasures.

But on this morning, as the sun gradually rose, the ring finally revealed its true form.

Like a seed awakening from a winter's slumber at the call of spring thunder and gentle rain, under the white light of the "Dream Star Crown," the ring's body, resembling countless translucent emerald threads, suddenly unfurled. Silver leaves of various shapes began to grow, and countless lifelike platinum flowers bloomed. Upon closer inspection, the shimmering light on the vines and petals revealed countless delicate and beautiful elven runes.

When all the transformations were complete, and the vines and petals had re-condensed into a harmonious and perfect whole, the final form left Chen Xuanfeng and the others completely astonished.

"How did this end up here?"

Before them was a longbow, flowing with a faint silver light, its body presenting a perfect curve, adorned with countless reliefs and openwork patterns. Everyone present recognized it—it was the weapon known by the elves as the "Elegant Poem of Silver Diamond," yet it bore a reputation for slaughter that starkly contrasted with its graceful appearance. It had assassinated several orc kings and, in conjunction with the "Seraph's Arrow," had taken down the "Great Demon King" Bato and the "War Saint" Leimen, making it a legendary weapon of unparalleled prowess.

"The Sighing Holy Bow—Falling Morning Star"

Currently ranked second in the world, and having held the top spot for thousands of years before the "Imperial Sword—Hero" was born, this weapon naturally caused a stir. However, upon reflection, its appearance was almost inevitable. This longbow had always been usable only by elves. Although it was unclear how it ended up in the treasure vault of the Holy Light Temple, once the elves learned of its existence, they would spare no effort to reclaim it, regardless of their tribe. Its importance even surpassed that of the "Three Royal Artifacts." Since the Holy Light Temple had handed it over to the blood elves during the "War of the Nine Saints," attempting to retrieve it would likely provoke immediate conflict with the blood elves. Thus, it was almost inevitable that this epic longbow would end up in the hands of the blood elves.

Therefore, it was only natural that Chen Xuanfeng would eventually come into possession of this divine weapon—except that the werewolves failed to recognize it.

Unlike the war-loving orcs, who enjoyed flaunting their weapons of war, the elves were an elegant race, which is to say, a race averse to war. Thus, even their skilled archery weapons were rarely displayed. For this reason, they developed a technique to transform magical weapons into everyday ornaments. The "Sighing Holy Bow" could take the form of a ring due to this very reason. And as one of the symbols of the elf king, the "Dream Star Crown" possessed the authority to control all elven divine weapons. Therefore, when it sensed the presence of the unclaimed "Sighing Holy Bow," it immediately issued a summons.

A summons in the name of the elf king.

Thus, Xue Li, a mere teenage slave girl born of a half-elf, became the new owner of the "Sighing Holy Bow" in a manner that was both strange and hasty, yet entirely logical.

"This... is truly an unexpected gain. It seems the plan will have to change again," Chen Xuanfeng mused, momentarily overwhelmed by the dramatic turn of events. "But before that, teaching her the 'Sunset Heavenly Bow' technique from the 'Nine Yin Manual' might be a good idea. After all, this technique, like the White Bone Claw and Heart-Shattering Palm, doesn't require internal energy, making it a perfect opportunity to see how the martial arts of the Nine Yin Manual blend with elven archery."
