Actually I'm giving the xpath query to the libxml2 library and it
returns everything under that path for that query.
/root/level1/child::*

I tried the other solution also, /root/level1/* which also does the same.

XPath does select nodes in an existing document, it does not change that document. So the result of that XPath is a node-set with the child elements at the third level but those elements keep their own children. If you want to manipulate a document you need XSLT (or XQuery).
