Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

This realization made Alex think further. He understood now that intense emotions from the race were funneled to the progenitor.

A single individual's emotions wouldn't be an issue, but if many carried the same intense feelings, it would be different.

It was like water.

A single drop wouldn't matter, but a tsunami could flatten a whole city.

Inside the room, Alex saw various experimental apparatuses.

He speculated that either the emperor had procured them from the Guardian or his father had provided the instruments.

Moving to the microscope, Alex placed samples of Kurone's and Kurosora's blood for comparison.

"So, how is it?

What are you hoping to find by comparing their blood?"

"It's complicated to explain in one sentence, but to put it simply, I want to locate the parasite inside her body."

Alex wanted to check the DNA and see how intertwined it was—at what points and whether it was still possible to sever the two.

This would also help him understand more about the soul.

Could separating DNA result in the separation of a soul?

"I see...

Then tell me now—what happened inside?"

Without looking up from the apparatus, Alex replied,

"Kageyasha, how much do you know about the history of your clan?

Have you ever heard of the Felidaen?"

Kageyasha's eyes widened. Since Edward had failed to help him, Kageyasha had denied him access to much information. Only fragments were shared.

And the word Felidaen only appeared in those hidden records.

"How do you know that name?"

"As I thought…

All of you in the Neko clan are, in reality, Felidaen.

I met one of your people in another world."

"How is that related to what happened to my daughter?"

"It's related to what's inside of her.

If I am correct, it should be a weapon from ancient times, created to vanquish the vampire race."

Realization struck Kageyasha.

"So, you are saying both of you are of the vampire race?

But I heard from the records that they were already extinct."

"As I thought, you have some information about the Progenitor War era.

If you want to know more, I want that knowledge."

Their deal was only for him to cure Kurosora; none of it included sharing information.

Even his reward was still up for negotiation.

"I changed my mind. You are not like him at all, exploiting every single opportunity you have."

Alex's lips curled into a smile.

"So? What is your answer?"

"Fine, let's trade."

A jade slip appeared in Kageyasha's palm, and then he threw it toward Alex with strength.

But Alex didn't mind this. He spread his qi to weaken the momentum, then caught it easily.

With a thought, he read all the information.

'Based on this, they shouldn't have any relation with Aimu and Freay.'

It only told that the clan didn't come from here and that they should not forget their heritage.

There wasn't much information, but based on his knowledge of this world's past, their coming here should have been related to the opening of dungeons everywhere on the planet.

The period of time when this planet was the most chaotic.

Alex thought they came here as refugees or were purposely sent away in case their species fell.

"None of your ancestors survived?"

"None. That period of time was very chaotic.

Many died in inner fighting or were just captured by Orochi."

"Now that reminds me, isn't the Silver Snake clan related to Orochi?"

Since both of them were snakes, there was no way they were not connected.

"If I look at the old records, yes.

But they are part of the traitor clan that helped us in the final confrontation.

They were stripped of most of their artifacts and techniques by the Guardian and had a period where they were under surveillance."

"I see. Can you send me the jade slip, too?"

"Not yet. Tell me what you know now."

"I had my own fortuitous encounter, the result turning me into a vampire.

Since Kurosora was possessed by a being created specifically to hunt my kind, the result is as you can see.

She went feral, as her instinct is to kill all vampires."

This worried Kageyasha.

"Does this mean she will try to kill you again after she wakes up?"

"We will not wait until then.

I already have some treatment methods for her."

Alex then explained his plan.

He would take out Kurosora's soul, separate it from the parasite, and put her in some kind of simulation.

This would allow her soul to grow mature to the point where it could resist or overpower the parasite.

"I do suggest you tell Kurone about this. Both of you could have a family life in this simulated world."

Kageyasha had never heard of this before creating a simulated world for a soul to live inside, thinking it was alive.

He did know it was possible, but it would require a lot of expertise to pull off.

But the possibility of living like a normal family with his daughter was something he didn't want to miss.

"Can you really do that? What about the risk?"

"Yes, I've already researched a lot on this topic, so I can guarantee it will be safe.

I just need a large amount of high-grade qi crystals."

"Will this work?"

Kageyasha opened his palm, showing a perfect sphere the size of a fist.

Alex could see a huge energy inside it. The qi moved like plasma; its purity was something he had never seen before.

It was to the point that he might as well call it a new energy type.

"What is that?"

"So, you've never seen one. We call it an Origin qi crystal.

This is very rare and can only be found here in the frontline area.

So far, only a dozen have been found.

You'll see it grow like a fruit on high-grade Qi crystal veins."

"What happens to the vein if you pluck this away?"

"The vein will drop in quality, but it will still create qi crystals.

We don't know how this was achieved.

I heard some cultivators already tried to create artificial versions of this but failed."
