Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Based on Ying Xue's description, Alex speculated it was some kind of construct. A sophisticated golem, or an artifact with a soul that was owned by Feng Xue's brother.

This made him regret not bringing her here.

There is a big chance she knew this guardian and could help negotiate or gain more benefits.

Ying Xue then showed the guardian badge that Alex had seen before.

Other than its pattern, this badge also worked like some kind of terminal when staying in this region.

It was used to record their contribution points, buy food, enter their own property, and get their benefits.

These benefits were decided by their rank, depending on the total contribution points they had earned.

Some would get free food, while others would get elixirs, free real estate, and many other things.

The total clans existing in this place were more than 24, with 4 large clans taking the lead.

Other than these 24, there were also independent cultivators who were survivors from destroyed clans or were headhunted from outside.

This group usually came directly under the governor's jurisdiction.

They would have more priority on taking non-defense missions like maintaining the formation or as simple as working as maids.

As for cleaning, no one in this world needed to do that since the large formation seemed to take care of it.

As Ying Xue started explaining, Luca then asked how the rift worked.

"This information is quite new, and Sir Edward is the one who confirmed this.

The rift is a portal to another world, but to where it is not established.

It constantly changes, with some worlds coming out at fixed intervals.

But so far, we have only confirmed two of these kinds of worlds.

One is marked as dangerous; it comes out every twenty-five years, and the next one will be in the next five years.

The other will appear every five years, and it should come next year."

"Don't tell me…" Alex mumbled in a heavy tone.

He didn't have any memories after his father went to this place, but it seemed the world he went to was this dangerous one.

This meant they had no way to look for him other than to wait for the next five years.

Emily's shoulders slumped down. She stood up and then left in silence; the news gave her a huge shock.

Luca let out a sigh and looked at her ring, "I will go to your sister. Find out more, Alex."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Alex gave a nod.

He knew about the ring and even tried to check how it worked.

Unfortunately, his progress stopped since he would need to cut it in half to find out how it functioned.

There was no way her mother would allow that. It was her wedding ring and the only thing that told them Edward was still alive.

"Why do you mark this world as dangerous? Can you give me more information?"

"I don't know in detail, but there have been three invasions coming from that world.

Each time, it was categorized as SSS danger, forcing everyone to join in, which resulted in catastrophic damage."

Ying Xue's father was one of the survivors of the last invasion.

From his story, the enemy was only a few creatures, but they were so strong that it required everyone to unite to kill them.

She then showed a projection of the enemy her father fought.

It was a reptilian creature that looked like the one they had hunted before.

A transformed Dragari, but its body was far larger. The scale skin and everything else was really different.

'Is that a dragon race? No wonder my father chose to enter this dungeon then.'

"Can we see the body somewhere?"

"Yes, in the governor sector we have a museum that shows projections of every monster kept there with real-life scale.

There should also be some information on the monster. It's quite detailed."

"Interesting, so you guys hoard power systems but share information on monsters?"

"Well, it's a compromise. Power systems are not easy to get; most of them were acquired from trading with non-hostile invaders.

They sometimes come and never return while asking for something precious.

Sometimes, even within one clan, the one that trades will hide it and doesn't tell anyone.

Not even the patriarch."

"In that case, won't it make them unable to use the ability when it's needed?"

"Well, most of them will choose one that raises their basic strength and survivability.

Some also cleverly put restrictions on themselves, making any forceful attempt only result in the technique becoming lost.

But this is rare.

Not everyone has the resources to pay for the exchange, so they will usually put the offer to the clan, then discuss whether to buy it or not.

For example, my clan has a technique that allows us to quickly recover our strength after moving to a new body.

Or the Ronin clan you saw before.

They have a strange power that allows them to enhance any weapon, making it an artifact when fighting."

This pulled Alex's interest, making him ask in detail how the power worked.

Ying Xue told what she knew, allowing Alex to speculate how their ability worked.

'So they can split part of their soul then pour it into their weapon, turning it into something like an artifact.

Their soul can then be molded by the user, enhancing their weapon to a new form, while giving it new abilities.'

"Alex, you are getting off-topic again. Did you forget why we are here?" Ming Yue asked with a sigh.

She knew if she didn't intervene, he would spend a long time asking for more information on how other powers worked in this place.

"Oh yeah, you are right," Alex replied with a chuckle while scratching his head.

"Do you know how we can pass by to the beast region?"

"Beast region? You will need a special permit from the General for that."

"I see… it seems I cannot evade meeting with him then…

How about the beast men themselves?

Don't they have a representative on this side?"
