Elven Legacy

Following behind Orlin as we flew through the sky, we traveled above the island until we arrived at the Sect's building, prompting us to descend toward the ground, walking through the building, heading to who knows where. I've visited the Sect's building before, so the interior wasn't anything I wasn't used to, and other than the numerous Elders we came across, this place was relatively empty; it was mainly for decoration.

After walking for a few minutes, Orlin eventually led me to a door that was directly connected to another dimension, so when I stepped into the room, instead of it looking like a basic room, it was a massive grassy plain with a large lake in the distance.

'Hmm, not bad, though it's very peaceful; maybe I should visit this place frequently in the future.' Thought Elif lightly as he observed his surroundings before approaching Orlin, who was standing in front of the lake.

"I've brought Prince Elif, Sect Master." Remarked Orlin softly as she deeply bowed towards the lake, prompting the ground to tremble slightly.

At Orlin's words, a green shell began to emerge from the middle of the lake, and as time passed, the shell only continued to grow larger with seemingly no end in sight until, eventually, I began to see reptilian-like skin connected to the shell. As the water poured down the shell and back into the lake, I lowered my eyes and gazed at the giant tortoise, otherwise known as Sect Master Charuli, who was looking directly at me.

"Thank you, Orlin." Said Charuli lightly as he glanced at Orlin, who nodded, speaking without ever needing to move his mouth.

"Sect Master." Said Elif softly as he eyed Charuli while fanning himself with his Quạt tay.

"Prince Elf." Remarked Charuli lightly as he looked at Elif, who faintly nodded.

"You're not nearly as big as I expected you to be, Sect Master." Said Elif lightly as he walked to the edge of the lake, getting a better look at Charuli's size.

"Well, this is merely a doll-like body made from a piece of my flesh; this isn't my true body, yet at the same time, it is." Replied Charuli lightly as he shifted his large body and looked at Elif, who stopped moving with raised eyebrows.

"Ho, this was merely made from a piece of your flesh? So then, out of curiosity, how big is your actual body compared to this doll-like one?" Asked Elif curiously as he gazed upon Charuli, who suddenly began to shrink, taking him aback.

Watching Charuli shrink himself until he was once again hidden beneath the lake, I waited a few moments for him to reemerge, and while he did, it wasn't in the form I was expecting; emerging from the lake was an older, human male shorter than me with long black hair, green eyes, and a short beard, wearing a ceremonial robe of black and green.

"Rather than comparing, it's better to tell you where my actual body is." Said Charuli softly with his hands behind his back as he looked at Elif before glancing to the left, suddenly causing a tear in space to appear.

While I was a little taken aback by his decision to transform into a humanoid form, it wasn't anything unique or special, so I simply followed behind Charuli as I entered through the spatial tear, only to reappear in the middle of the ocean, causing me to blankly look at him as he gave no forewarning.

'Great, now I'm all wet.' Mused Elif in slight annoyance as he flew through the water before floating beside Charuli.

"This should be able to appease your curiosity, Prince Elif." Remarked Charuli lightly as he waved his hand, causing a gentle wave of Qi to spread throughout the ocean, causing many bio-luminescent plants to glow.

With the glow of the plants, they revealed an enormous creature; its size was so utterly massive that I wasn't even able to see it entirely; although I've seen many massive things in my life, including the Realm Tree, this is the largest creature I've ever laid eyes upon.

'Ho, now that's befitting of the title of Leviathan.' Mused Elif as he gazed upon the immense size of Charuli's true body, only for him to suddenly open his eyes before slowly turning around.

"What was the point of that?" Asked Elif curiously as he glanced at Charuli's absurdly massive body before looking at his significantly smaller human form.

"No reason." Replied Charuli lightly as he shook his head before turning around and walking through the spatial tear, reemerging back into his home with Elif following right after him.

Landing on the ground, I used my Qi to dry off my body while approaching the small table that wasn't there before alongside Charuli as we sat down opposite of each with Orilin pouring us some tea.

"Thank you, Orilin." "Yes, Thank you, ~Orlin~." Said Charuli and Elif, respectively, as the latter seductively whispered her name, yet to his surprise, she looked rather indifferent.

"Ho, another reason to visit you in the future." Muttered Elif lightly as he sipped the tea while eying the silent Orlin, who quietly stood behind Charuli, causing him to suddenly snap his fingers.

'No wonder I felt as if something was amiss; I don't have Illumia with me. Well, I have no one to blame but myself.' Mused Elif lightly with a sigh as he shook his head before setting down his teacup at the same time as Charuli.

"Now, I think it's time to discuss why I summoned you here in the first place." Said Charuli lightly as he glanced at Elif, only for an incredibly powerful, pure, and potent intent to surge out of his body.

I wasn't given a chance to react to Charuli's Immortal Will as it enveloped it, affecting my mind as I began to lose the desire to do anything, whether that be cultivating, resting, eating, or even spending time with my concubines. One by one, they started to vanish; even my lustful urges disappeared, and before I knew it, I felt like nothing but a husk without a soul as I felt no desire to do anything, yet before it could get worse, I suddenly furrowed my brows as I glared at Charuli.

At my decree, my pride, which shone ever so brightly in my soulless self, aggressively surged in retaliation to the lethargic feelings that bound me with my immortal Will clashing with Charuli's Immortal Will; slowly but surely, I regained my emotions, desires, and most importantly, my sense of self as I glared at Charuli.

"Speak, you inferior aquatic mongrel." Declared Elif pridefully in slight anger while looking at Charuli as if he were nothing but a lowly insect that didn't even deserve the right to look at his majestic presence.

"Good, I wished to speak with the true Prince Elif, not the facade you put up for everyone else." Said Charuli with a faint smile as he looked at Elif, only to suddenly yawn.

"Now then, let's truly discuss why I summoned you here; let's also make it quick; I'm getting a little sleepy." Added Charuli as he looked at Elif before they two started conversing, initiating one of the weirdest conversations either one had ever had.

"Orlin, be a dear and show him the way out." Ordered Charuli lightly with a tired expression as he glanced at Orlin while slowly walking toward the lake.

"Do not bother, mongrel; I do not need to be handheld by such an ugly creature." Remarked Elif pridefully as he glanced at Orlin, who did as told and didn't move.

"S-See you soon, P-Prince Elif." Said Charuli tiredly as he yawned once more before falling into the pull, falling into a deep sleep the instant his body touched the water.

"I dread the day I'll be forced to interact with you." Said Elif in annoyance as he opened the door and exited the room, stepping out into the Sect building.

Given my current state, I had no desire to speak with any of these low-life peasants, so I quickly left the building and flew through the sky, ignoring everything and everyone as I headed back to my residence, which took several minutes, though when I arrived, I promptly landed on the ground just outside the front entrance, where Illumai suddenly appeared.

"My apologies, your Highness; I'm deeply ashamed of my action; please forgive me; as your personal attendant, I'm supposed to be by your side at all times, yet I've failed." Said Illumia solemnly as she deeply bowed before Elif, who merely gave her a once-over before walking past her.

I opted to ignore Illumia for now; my pride was still in full effect, and I'd probably end up saying something I didn't want her to hear, so I just left it be for now and entered my residence, passing Mandy, Ember, Marley, and Idonea along the way, all of which who I also ignored.

Entering my room, I saw Sarah still lying on the ground, having not moved one bit from our earlier sexual fun, though I wasn't in the mood to appreciate her sexiness and calmly hovered above my throne, cultivating to pass the time. Which ended up working, since after several hours, when night finally arrived, I had returned to normal.

'Well, normal isn't the correct wording; if anything, I've stopped being normal, in a sense.' Thought Elif lightly as he lowered himself back onto the throne and glanced at Illumia; Sarah was nowhere to be found.
