Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 307: Elder Axzul

While imagining the kind of carnage Elaine would cause if she were here to witness all of my admirers, I continued towards the royal carriage and promptly entered inside with Mandy holding the door open, causing me to gently slap her butt as I stepped into the carriage. Sitting down beside the window, I grabbed Ember just as she entered and sat her on my lap as I stroked her head; I don't know why, but compared to everyone else, excluding Elaine, of course, rubbing her body always felt so calming.

'Hmm, maybe it's because she doesn't have the womanly charm about her yet.' Mused Elif lightly with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Ember before glancing at Sara, Marley, Illumia, Idonea, and Mandy, only to shake his head.

"Follow behind Eyvor's carriage." Ordered Elif as he glanced at Mandy through the window, causing her to bow slightly as she approached Zulo and Zala.

After waiting for a few seconds, the carriage was promptly lifted into the air as he faced the direction of the sect building in the distance, and when Eyvor's carriage passed us, we promptly followed behind her while Shelia, Goliath, Echo, and Birger did the same. My many admirers tried to do the same, but thankfully, they were all too slow to keep up with our carriages and were promptly left behind, which was perfect since I was beginning to require a break from them.

"Haa, I can already tell they're going to be greatly annoying in the future." Muttered Elif with a sigh of relief as he rubbed Ember's head, who subtly nodded but remained silent.

As we headed towards where the ceremony was supposed to be held, we happened to pass by one of the ten generational peaks, the fourth tallest one to be exact, and unsurprisingly, there was someone already occupying them; however, although it was brief I had managed to get a rough calculation of their strength, and it was...

'...Pathetic. With the way Marley and Idonea are as of now, even they would be able to challenge them for the number four spot.' Thought Elif with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at the fourth tallest mountain behind him before shaking his head.

Although they were very weak, I didn't bother with it much; after all, they were merely placeholders until the strong and talented actually arrived, so they were of no concern to me; besides, I had no interest in taking the fourth mountain, I'd obviously take the tallest one for myself.

"Sarah, have you been practicing with your sword?" Asked Elif as he glanced at Sarah, who tilted her head to the side before sheepishly rubbing her head.

"N-No, I-I've been busy practicing other stuff. Mainly how to please and service a man and whatnot, your Highness." Replied Sarah softly while glancing at Elif, who nodded, only for her to suddenly be whisked away into someone's arms.

"Please and service!? NO! I refuse to allow that good-for-nothing talking tree to take away my precious little sister!" Exclaimed Marley sternly with a deadly expression as she tightly embraced Sarah, who sighed and opened her mouth, only to sigh again.

Shaking my head, I ignored Marley and Sarah and closed my eyes as I leaned back in my seat while Ember sat atop my lap, leaning against my chest. After a minute or so, the sect building began to enter my divine sense, yet we weren't heading toward the building; instead, we traveled along the outskirts of the building, flying over the beautiful vegetation below before I eventually spotted a large open filled, which was currently filled with tens of thousands of cultivators who were mostly around my age.

In front of the crowd was a large oval-shape dimensional rift, leading to who knows where, while behind the crowd, there was another one, causing me to raise my eyebrow since the Qi radiating out of the rifts were precisely the same, meaning they led to the same dimension.

'I'm assuming this is where the ceremony will be taking place, Eyvor?' Asked Elif via divine sense, his words prompting Eyvor to nod.

'Yes. Though I'm clueless about the dimensional rifts, I asked Father about it, and he said the ceremony is slightly different every time the Realm sect opens its gates to the world.' Replied Eyvor via divine sense as she looked down below, observing the massive crowd of cultivators.
