Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Since we are here in the core area, does this mean the rift is in the planet's core?"

"No, it's here," Alex said, pointing to the middle of the place.

The core region they were in was one island surrounded by the ocean. Alex was quite amazed by those who made this place. Now that he had completely mapped it out, he found that the core region had the same surface size as the outer region.

This was thanks to the protection barrier that doubled as some kind of dimensional space.

The whole island was split into two. On the left was for humans, and on the right was for beastmen. They were connected in the middle where the rift existed.

"So, we can just pass through this mountain to go to the beastman territory?"

MingYue understood Alex's concern should be on that part since they had no one there.

"No, that is not doable. This mountain range is called Thousand Abyss Ridge. It has a very strong gravity and weird creatures roam around it.

If we move our army through it, they will just get decimated."

"That bad?"

"Yes, and the cause of this is probably related to the formation that supports this space, so we better not try anything on it." Experience tales at empire

"Hmm..."

"The plan now is to meet up with the old guildmate. I need more information on my father's plan. I have some ideas, but I need to make sure."

"What do you think he wants to do?"

"The same thing we wanted. Father should have known the danger we are in and is thinking of making this place a safe refuge in case something happens in my world."

"I see. Do you have any idea where to find them then?"

"Aunt Ariadne is in beastman territory now. Uncle Orion should be the one who became the abode at ShangXi Temple. Now I just wonder where Uncle Kane is."

"Doesn't that only leave Eria and Jasper?"

"Yes, both of them are with my father. That one I am sure of. Except if his memories were manipulated."

"I doubt the Dragari king can do that."

Alex gave a nod. He also felt the same, but after his last experience with Bykahee, he didn't want to remove this possibility. There was also a chance that Orion, Kane, or Ariadne had been manipulated by someone.

The world was vast, and the possibilities were endless. He needed to be careful with each step.

"For now, let's regroup with FengXue at ShangXi Temple. I don't want her to fight with Uncle Orion."

MingYue's eyes lit up. "That is good, but first let's visit my sect. I want to check how my brother's situation is now."

Alex gave a nod. Meanwhile, at this time, Reina had already spent a week with the Midnight Clan. She took a while as walking through the radiation zone was more dangerous than she thought.

She needed to take a roundabout way and walk stealthily since some of the monsters were too dangerous for her to face. The zone was now also filled with weird plants—it was like passing through a jungle.

Outside, many outposts had already been built by various clans and sects. They came here to check on the newly appeared area. The place was filled with danger, but it also meant a new treasure trove.

Many of them thought the place was covered with a new type of deadly poison. If they sent cultivators under the Golden Core stage, their bodies would start melting away, their flesh would drop off, and soon they would die.

Even using qi and pills didn't work. For those above, they would need to use almost all their qi for protection, making it ineffective. In the end, only those above the Ascension stage could explore.

The beasts inside were also strange; none of them had sentience. They acted like beasts, no matter how strong they were. Reina even crossed paths with one of the spirit beasts that should have been sentient before, but now it acted mindlessly.

She felt glad; otherwise, she didn't know how she would have dealt with it. The enemy was too strong for her.

If Alex were here, he would have found this change surprising. It wasn't like he predicted. He knew mutations would happen, but for a whole jungle to sprout out was beyond his expectations.

After passing through the dense jungle, Reina arrived back at Midnight Clan. At first, she felt relieved, but it didn't last long. She could see the place was in chaos.

Just as Alex had expected, a coup had started. With the power level dropping, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come for them to take power.

Rather than feeling glad about the miracle, they fought each other to death, turning everything into a massacre.

Some even thought it would have been better if they all had just stayed dead. Why revive only to see this happen?

Seeing their people kill each other, all for greed and power. With the chaos, many also burned out their souls to forcefully raise their cultivation realm, making most of the dead become permanent.

Reina quickly intervened, and her first action was looking for her father. She felt glad she didn't bring Uncle Moria despite his insistence. If he were here, it would have become troublesome.

With her current realm, Reina didn't face any problems. She frantically searched for her father. With a frown, she found he was being ambushed by many people now.

Each of them was someone she had once called his elder. Some were even her own cousins.

"Morgana!!! That bitch!" Reina cursed. She felt Morgana's qi fluctuate near her father.

She quickly appeared in the sky. Her eyes widened when she realized Morgana was one of the people trying to help her father.

This made her hesitate. She wanted to swoop indirectly, but instead, she decided to hide and observe the circumstances.

She wanted to find out if they were truly loyal or just looking for an opportunity to backstab her father.
