Clicking my tongue, I exited cultivation and gently lowered myself to the ground. I opened my eyes and plopped onto the chair directly behind me while silently watching Elaine cultivating on the opposite side of the room. I was a little irritated as I hoped to advance to the next minor realm, a peak Divine King, but it seemed I was missing just a bit of dao, which was quite annoying.
I've been stuck as a late Divine King for nearly two years, which shouldn't have happened, I should've advanced by now, but because I've wasted valuable time playing around, I'm slightly behind pace.
'Tsk, well, this is what I get. I have no one to blame but myself.' Thought Elif in annoyance as he rested his head on his propped-up arm while gazing at Elaine, enjoying the beautiful sight that was her.
I ended up losing track of time as I had entered a trance from Elaine's beauty, and by the time she exited cultivation, nearly an hour had already passed, causing me to gently slap my face; however, there was nothing to do about that, Elaine's beauty has always been capable of hypnotizing me, it was nothing new.
"Something wrong, Brother?" "No, quite the opposite, actually." Remarked Elaine and Elif, respectively, as the former stretched while glancing at the latter, who shook his head with a faint smile.
"Anyway, Brother, shouldn't we be arriving at our destination soon? It's been nearly a week since we've left; a week of no love, if I will add." Asked Elaine curiously as she glanced at Elif and approached him with a slightly sour expression while he raised his arms into the sky.
"Restraint, Elaine, that is all I need to say." Replied Elif with a wry expression as he glanced at Elaine, who stood over him, his words causing her to scoff while she dropped to her knees and opened her, lewdly waving her tongue around.
"At least let me use my mouth." Said Elaine almost pleadingly as she leaned forward and licked Elif's crotch, leaving a stain on his clothes while his cock aggressively pushed against them.
Rolling my eyes, I stuck my finger into Elaine's mouth and shook my head, causing her to pout while she started sucking on my finger.
"Let us wait until we arrive." Said Elif lightly as he looked at Elaine before turning around and gazing out through the one-way window, allowing him to see the vast ocean down below.
The dimensional rift for the Nether and Ather Realm always appears near each other whenever the Triad Constellation occurs; however, despite Nether monsters seeking to destroy every living thing, they avoid the Aether Realm like death's miasma as the psionic Qi that fills the realm is the bane of their existence. Simply touching psionic Qi will cause them to rapidly deteriorate, let alone being attacked by it; unfortunately for us, we can't just ask the residents of the Aether Realm to help us combat the Nether monster simply because they're also greatly afraid of the monster's Qi.
So, although Nether realm monsters avoid the Aether Realm, the same is true the other way around, and that is why we, the beings of the OverRealm, who are the perfect combination of body and soul, can interact with both Qi of their respective Realms.
Well, of course, minus a few exceptions like the Fairy's and Wisps, as they're a special case.
'Hmm, speaking of Fairy, I'm curious how much stronger Eyvor will be when she enters the Aether Realm.' Thought Elif with a curious expression as he rubbed his chin while Elaine constantly poked his crotch, enjoying the sight of his bulging clothes.
Picking up Elaine, I carried her to the bathroom as I sought to take a bath since I hadn't had one yet today, though I had a strong feeling she would try and extend our time in there.

"Huh, so it's right below us? Well, I wasn't expecting that." "How deep? I can't locate it even with my divine sense." Remarked Elif and Elaine, respectively, as the two looked out the window into the seemingly endless ocean.
"At the ocean floor, your Highnesses." Replied Maxim respectfully as he glanced at Mandy through the window before nodding, prompting her to gesture to Zulo and Zala.
With two faint neighs, Zulo and Zala lunged into the ocean while pulling the carriage directly behind; at first, the sea seemed a bit empty, but after a minute or two, we began to notice it was teeming with life at every corner.
"Woah, so beautiful." Muttered Ember softly with sparking, green flaming eyes as she looked out through the window while Idonea and Marley nodded in agreement.
"There are so many creatures I've never seen before!" "It's like we've entered a whole another world." Said Marley and Idonea, respectively, as they looked out the window, their cheeks touching as they pushed against each other to observe the beautiful ocean.
While enjoying the beautiful scene, from seemingly nowhere, a pack of large fish akin to sharks began to feast upon a massive school of fish that numbered in the millions.
"Well, I suppose nature is nature no matter where you go." Said Marley with a wry expression as everyone nodded while watching the sharks devour hundreds of tiny fish with every bite, filling the ocean red with blood.
That little instance of brutality wasn't the last one we witnessed, but they were far and few between, and the natural order of the ocean easily outshined the uglier sights. For some time, Elaine and I snuggled together while looking out the window, occasionally kissing; however, once the two-hour mark began to near, we saw faint lights below us, though we had already observed what it was through our divine sense.
A few more moments and the full scene is presented before our very eyes; at the sea floor, a massive bubble dome illuminated by bright rocks that floated around it was seen. The sight itself wasn't so shocking, but its uniqueness was something I'd never seen before.
Within the bubble dome, there was a large city that seemed to still be growing; clearly, it had been built for the sole purpose of the Triad Constellation, to serve as an outpost or base. However, even from up here, I could tell it was an expensive city to build, as it was most likely built to accommodate people of high status like Elaine and I.
Zulo and Zala did a loop around the city, allowing us to view it from all sides, though while they did that, we spotted two-dimensional rifts on either side of the city just outside the bubble dome.
On one side, there was a large, reddish, oval-shaped dimensional rift which an endless tide of monsters emerged from, yet with the strongest one barely being a saint, the city's automated defenses easily dealt with them by firing spheres of highly compressed Qi that exploded upon impact, briefly leaving behind a diameter of several kilometers void of any creature, having annihilated them in their entirety; however, the area would be quickly filled with tens of thousands of monsters just as quickly.
Although the City hardly had any of its automated defenses up and running, it was more than enough to hold back the endless wave of monsters that sought to destroy all life.
On the other side of the city, there was another large, oval-shaped dimensional rift, only this time it was a soft blue, and instead of monsters leaving, people entered; there was nothing else to say other than it looked far more appealing than the other dimensional rift.
After the look, Zulo and Zala flew straight for the bubble dome, effortlessly passing through it as we left the confines of the ocean and once again returned to dry land. Granted, it was at the bottom of the sea.
"Illumia, did you do as I asked of you?" "Of course, your Highness. Why do you ask as if I've ever failed to complete my duties?" Remarked Elif and Illumia, respectively, as the former nodded with a raised eyebrow while the latter glanced at him with a slight frown.
"Hmm, just making sure, that is all." Replied Elif lightly as he summoned his Quạt tay from his dimension ring while gently fanning himself before looking away.
I didn't need to question Illumia further since, off in the distance, I spotted a residence with the Elven Empire's symbol on the front gate, causing me to nod as Zulo and Zala headed right for it.
Though clearly, I wasn't the only one who had made plans in advance, though I ignored the Immortal Beast Sect, Immortal Heavenly Empire, and the Immortal Golem Empire since they had no one worthy of garnering my attention.
'Though I do admit, Baihu is quite calm, and I prefer calm people.' Thought Elif lightly as he briefly glanced at Baihu, who was seen lying atop a tree within her own residence.
Besides Baihu, Tiamat and Cordelia were the only others present; Aurora was nowhere to be seen, and it would probably take Lucifer a few more months to arrive as I doubted he had any means of fast travel. As for Comet… Just thinking of him angered me, so I simply didn't. I'd kill him soon; there was no need to worsen my mood by thinking of such an insignificant insect.
"We've arrived, your Highnesses." Said Mandy from outside the carriage as she gently knocked on the door while Zulo and Zala landed directly outside the gate to the Elven Empire's residence.
