Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Who knows, even the whole cultivation system could be transformed, making it accessible for everyone in BaiYue sect.

As the place was cleaned up, Xue Fang finally finished her preparations.

At the ritual spot, one of the golden core elders' faces turned into a frown. Despite the people there acting leisurely, they still did routine reports to make sure everything was alright.

He tried to contact them and started thinking something was amiss.

"You, go and check the city lord's mansion, make sure everything is alright."

The sect member was standing in a daze as there was nothing he needed to do there, but hearing the elder's words, he quickly turned alert, "Yes, elder."

He didn't even ask questions and left. But this weirdness didn't pass the other elders.

"What is wrong?"

"Yeah, why would you need to check that place?"

"It's been a while since their last report, so I just need to make sure."

"The barrier is fine. I doubt anyone can give us trouble. This only means they are too busy acting like animals."

"Just whose idea was it to let them do as they pleased?"

The other elder who sat cross-legged at the ritual nodded. "They better cultivate or donate their qi to fasten the progress."

"Shh… did you forget this is the secret leader's order? He said the quality of qi matters to ensure the result."

One of the elders then looked around, making sure the sect leader was nowhere close. "Did you all believe him? I know he showed us some proof, like the disciple's transformation and his current strength, but his personality now.

How could I say it… Well, it's like someone took over his body."

"But we did some tests on him. His soul has proven to be real."

"Still, how accurate is that artifact?"

"Our sect has used it for years. It's been proven accurate."

"Look, I am a formation master, and I will tell you that artifacts are one hundred percent accurate. Even now, I still don't know how it works."

"What do you mean? The artifact is really easy; someone touches it, and it records their soul. The next time they touch it, the color of the artifact will change if the person has a different soul."

The formation elder frowned, "Truly talking with an idiot like you is a waste of time."

"What are you saying!?" The elder retorted back in anger.

"Enough about that, we are going off topic, my point was how dangerous what we are doing now is? And where is he? I cannot even detect his qi now."

"Sect master should return when the preparation is almost done. It will probably be in a few hours."

"But it's truly a pity." One of the elders said while looking at the man they were going to sacrifice, "He is one of our geniuses. I am sure he could become stronger than us if he kept cultivating."

"Have you grown senile?" The other elder retorted, "Did you forget we all have agreed to this?"

"You are right…" The elder replied with a sigh.

"Stop questioning yourself; everyone has already agreed.

Who can blame us anyway?

We already reached the peak of our potential and now are just waiting for our death. Who will reject when we get an opportunity to live longer and become stronger?

Everyone nodded at this, the thing that the sect master offered was just too good to be true, but he had proven it.

Despite the sect master's limited potential, he had broken through to another realm. Not only that, but he also had many secret techniques that utilized soul and negative emotion.

At first, they thought their sect elder had gone crazy and become a demonic cultivator, but after understanding how it worked, they felt it was hard to say it was demonic cultivation. Enjoy more content from empire

It used the soul, but what was refined was just the soul's emotion. Basically, the new cultivation method their sect master used now depended solely on negative emotion, something they had never heard of before.

Even the evil sects they knew had no capability to do this.

As they continued talking, suddenly a loud voice pulled their attention. "ELDER! Something is wrong!"

The disciple they sent just returned, he didn't even enter the city hall. When he got close, he could smell blood, an intense amount of it.

If it was just this, he wouldn't feel any suspicion, considering what was happening inside. But he saw some of the building walls were cracked.

This prompted him to quickly escape. But before the elders could react or ask further.

BOOM!!!

A huge explosion shook the land, taking everyone's attention. At the center of the ritual, the place where their sacrifice was being refined, as smoke was billowing out.

"NO!" One of the elders screamed in panic, he slapped his hand in the air creating enough wind to scatter the smoke.

Their sacrifice then revealed itself surrounded by a cracked transparent qi barrier.

"That gave me a fright, thankfully we prepared a barrier just in case." The formation elder said.

Meanwhile, the other elders looked around the area; they stopped fueling the ritual formation and instead, spread their qi around, letting their pressure.

"WHO is it!? COME out!"

But no one replied to them, instead what answered were a few swooshing sounds, followed by multiple explosions.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

This time the target changed, it attacked the location of the elders, making them dodge, while some used their secret techniques to block.

The result was disastrous for the Sky Ember sect.

The elders may be able to defend themselves, but this comes at the cost of the ritual formation. Part of it was destroyed, and many disciples were killed in the process.

Their souls flew, trying to escape, but instead, they got absorbed by the ritual formation.

'So this is what that part is for, to think a formation that can fix itself is really possible.' The formation of elder thought.
