"Then, do you want to go to the Space Temple now?" Viola asked.

"Do I need to know anything else?" Alex asked, planning to be as careful as he could. After all, he might need to face a Space Element Martial Saint. He couldn't even do anything to escape because of Hao, let alone their Great Elder. He would be screwed if he didn't know anything.

"Nothing. As long as you are respectful, I don't think you will get into trouble. The Great Elder should also protect you on my behalf. Besides, I will be checking you regularly." Viola nodded with a smile, assuring him it would be fine.

"Thank you." Alex nodded.

Viola thought for a moment before taking out a token and activating it. She then looked at Alex. "Let's go."

Alex nodded and followed her.

They were going toward the portal that he and Hao entered earlier. Alex pondered for a moment and thought they were going back inside the water. Yet, before she activated the portal, Viola placed the token she activated earlier.

Alex lost in thought before realizing they teleported to another place, not the water cave entrance. He looked at his surroundings and found a similar scenery except for some spots. It seemed they had arrived.

"Great Elder, earlier was…" Alex hesitated to say it. 'Is that something like a rune stone? A Teleportation Array that has been adjusted to teleport according to the token. No, the token, in fact, changed the array composition a little bit, and it was the direction. In other words, there should be a few more tokens that she could use to go to another temple.

Alex never used this type of Teleportation Array before, despite having it in his memory. He just never had an opportunity to use it due to the distance he needed to cover.

"It's a Teleportation Array. I'm sure you know this already."

"I know… But the distance between the Fire Temple and Space Temple doesn't seem to be that far." Alex nodded.

"As much as I hate it, we are neighbors," Viola explained in annoyance. "The farthest one from my Fire Temple is Water Temple. So, I need to teleport two times before arriving there."

They flew together for a few minutes before finding a similar temple. Unlike Hao, she didn't need much formality. By simply making her appearance, everyone instantly recognized her and bowed their heads, letting her go to the top floor where their Great Elder stayed normally.

*Bang!* She slammed open the door and entered with Alex.

"Great Elder Viola, can't you be more gentle with the door? It's almost broken, you know."

Alex narrowed his eyes upon seeing this woman. The woman had long braided silver hair. And everything was different than Viola. This woman appeared calm and gentle, while her body was pretty hot.

She glanced at Alex before sipping her tea. "May I know what is the reason you come here, dear gentlemen?"

"Oi! Are you considering me as a gentleman too?" Viola slammed the table, creating a small crack.

"Look at you; it's easy to make you angry. You should be more gentle. Besides, you even sacrificed your breast to prolong your lifespan…"

"Aileen!" Viola fumed in anger. She calmed her heart down and attacked back. "Do you think I am afraid of you? You are still an 8-Star Martial Saint… It must be because you need to take care of so many men that your progress is this slow."

"I'm still young and virgin! Ah!" Aileen forgot that Alex was here. This was their usual exchange between both of them, so she was distracted for a moment. "Aren't you too? You are far older than me. You must be a virgin for life… No, it should be because of your chest that no one finds you beautiful."

"Are you going to challenge me, Kid?" Viola released her Spiritual Energy.

"I don't mind, old hag!" Aileen also released her aura.

Alex stepped back and leaned on the wall, waiting for them to finish their business while thinking, 'Sacrificing boobs to prolong lifespan? Is that even possible?'

Suddenly, they glanced at Alex and asked. "You! Who do you find more attractive?"

Alex was startled at first and somehow got annoyed. He let out a long sigh to make him not look pressured. "Both. If a man only comes closer because of your body, you need to worry about yourself since he might only be after your body, not your heart. In that case, the relationship might not last. On the other hand, your body might give you confidence over others. Still, I can't think anything about your body. Besides, you might have a harder time searching for a genuine man.

"It's pleasing to see a woman, but only one we know and enjoy having in their company will be a great woman in our lives. That's why it's better to know and build relationships first before asking this question. I'm sure if both of you have a man, then they will answer you genuinely."

"…" Alex's answer left these two speechless. Viola couldn't help but ask, "How old are you, by the way?"

"Me? Too much cultivation and other things, so I forget my real age… but it shouldn't reach thirty yet. Around twenty-eight years old, I guess."

"Twenty-eight years old Martial Monarch?" Viola and Aileen were dumbstruck. Viola asked. "Without the full help of influence, it would be hard to climb to the peak… And you are saying you are only twenty-eight years old? What is the influence behind you?! I don't think Mentor has created an influence out there."

"I am from an influence that I created for myself." Alex shook his head

"What?!" Viola grabbed his shoulders. She wanted to say something, but the words stuck on her throat.

"Mentor?" Aileen realized another thing, before furrowing her eyebrows. "Your mentor was the first Great Elder of Fire Temple, right? What is his relationship between him and that person? And what is the purpose of bringing him?"

"Tch!" Viola clicked her tongue. "Mentor is his Master, and I am bringing him here because he wants to learn about Space Ability."

"Heh!" Smug appeared on her face, looking down on Viola. "This guy's vision is as good as his Master… The Space Element reigns supreme!"

"Idiot. He is coming here because there is no need to teach him Fire Ability. He has mastered all and doesn't care about Space Element until today. In other words, your Space Temple is useless in his eyes this whole time." Viola snorted.

"Say anything you want, loser." Aileen snorted before coming to him and asking gently. "So, what do you want to learn? I will teach you hand by hand if necessary. That's right. I don't even mind to be your mentor…"

Alex shook his head. "I'm an Honorary Elder, according to Great Elder Viola, and I am not planning to be bound here. That's why I will pay for all my education fees here."

Aileen narrowed her eyes before glancing at Viola, who nodded her head. "I see. It seems you have the same plan as your Master. Still, knowing that your Master is still alive after five thousand years, it's very good to know."

"That's right. I am planning to share it with the other Great Elders." Viola crossed her arms and looked at her smugly. "My Fire Temple is the only one that can create God, and even he is planning to become one."

"He is soon to be my Space Temple's member, don't think about it."

"What are you saying? He has the same elements as his Master, no, it is more outstanding than his Master. Obviously, he is a member of my Fire Temple. Even if it's only an Honorary Elder, I will still take the credit."

"Elements?" Aileen opened her eyes wide, glancing at Alex and Viola back and forth. "I'm done with this… Both Master and Disciple are monsters."

"Anyway, I'm talking to you here to make sure you don't do anything to him." Viola snorted. "Well, I don't think I need to worry about you seducing him since I know you will fail."

"Hmph!" Aileen rolled her eyes. "Fine. I shall take care of him in your stead. However, I still won't hold anything back even if you are Great Elder Maxwell's disciple. The fee is also very expensive. If you can't pay, you can sell your body, little brother. I will pay in advance even if you ask for an exorbitant price."

Alex shrugged. "I should have no money problem, as long as the Great Elder put a fair price."

"Of course, I am always just. Or are you doubting me?"

"No." Alex shook his head.

"He doesn't need to doubt you because I will be watching you!" Viola interjected.

Aileen simply shrugged before recalling earlier matters. "If I am not wrong, you were attacked by the disciple of my temple earlier? I will be punishing the disciples after they have finished their guard duty. Although it's only a misunderstanding, I am just after all. That's why they will get their own punishment. At the same time, I will compensate you."

"Hehe…" Viola grinned as if she knew this would happen.

"Anyway, revenge is fine, but they should learn not to classify everyone to be the same. After all, in the great purge a few thousand years ago, we were hunted by those from the surface, but there were still many people helping us, including your teacher. I need to teach them again not to have revenge cloud their eyes."

Alex nodded.

"I almost wanted to bring this up." Viola shrugged. "Anyway, I have finished my matter. Make sure you do not mistreat him and arrange a house for as long as he needs to…"

"It's fine. Considering you are Great Elder Maxwell's disciple, I will have a house for you and give you a Space Technique as compensation. After all, the disciple was earnestly trying to kill you." Aileen nodded with a smile.

"Then I'm leaving!" Viola patted Alex's shoulder and said, "If she bullies you, feel free to tell me. I will do you justice."

"Ahaha… There is no way I will do that. In fact, I might accidentally make him too comfortable in this place."

"Hmph." Viola snorted before leaving the room.

Aileen then looked at Alex. "What do you want to do now? Want to see your house first?"

Alex nodded, thinking he could contact Anna and the others for their next plan.

Aileen snapped her finger before a Spatial Gate appeared before them. However, this Spatial Gate didn't lead them to a Blue Layered Realm. Instead, it led them to another place.

Alex was surprised since he didn't know why the Spatial Gate could be like this.

"From my information, you have learned how to use Spatial Gate and Space Plate, right? How about using it right now? I want to see what level you have achieved for both techniques."

Alex nodded and created a Spatial Gate first, albeit only led to a Blue Layered Realm.

"Hmm… The gate and the realm inside are stable. Can you make a gate that leads to another place spontaneously?"

"No." Alex shook his head, ashamed.

"It's fine. I will teach you later about this. I will teach you until you master the Spatial Gate and give you a house to stay… it's your Master's house though. Will that be alright for the compensation?"

"Yes. Thank you, Great Elder."

"Then, try to create a Space Plate."

Alex followed her instruction and made one Space Plate inside the Blue Layered Realm.

"Make it exist in both worlds." She instructed after observing Alex's Space Plate. Alex kept following her request to the best of his ability, and this request was the one that allowed him to block someone in the real world.

"Make it exist only in the real world."

"Create two Space Plates!"

"You are an Array Master, right? Make an entire array on the Space Plate and do the previous drill."

"Then, create a hundred Space Plates."

"Make an array like a puzzle."

She kept trying every possible thing to do with the Space Plate and got quite a satisfying result from Alex. "There is nothing much I can point out for this technique. Although you are a bit slow to create the Space Plates, it will be fine after some practice. I will assess your ability after visiting your house. Let's go."

She waved at Alex, asking him to go in before closing the gate.
