Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Let's run, MingYue!" Alex quickly suggested. It was clear the leviathan-like creature was not just strong physically; it also had the ability to create electricity.

As they were not in the water, the range of the attack was not something they could scoff at. And this was only one creature; if it gathered with its pack, the dark underwater ocean would quickly light up like Christmas.

Alex grabbed MingYue's hand and then started propelling themselves toward the nearest cavern system.

CRACKLE! Crackle!

Electricity burst out from the leviathan's body, hitting both of them.

But they were already prepared.

MingYue created a sphere of frost to protect their bodies, then layered it many times over, raising its thickness, which effectively dampened the electricity to the point it was negligible for them.

Alex then took out his ember-shift hammer and ignited a scorching heat, evaporating all the water and creating a huge air pressure inside the ice sphere.

MingYue was now using qi to protect her body from the heat. She quickly created a hole in the direction of the leviathan. This made the air explode, creating a huge thrust pushing the ice sphere.

Swooosh!!!!

The ice shot forward like a cannonball despite the water pressure until it finally stopped when it crashed into the cavern entrance.

Bam!

They returned back to the underwater ocean. They looked at the cavern entrance and then at each other.

"Should we enter this one? Or look for another?" Alex asked.

"We're already here; might as well check it out."

The cavern entrance was barely visible as it was hidden by green vines.

As they pushed through, to their surprise, the inside was quite bright. It had coral growing on the walls that gave off a dim glow.

There were some small fish swimming around the area, along with shellfish and some small creatures.

Alex and MingYue made their way deeper into the cavern system.

They met some carnivorous creatures like a squid and a large crab the size of their head, but none dared to attack as they let out their qi.

With Vesa's map, it didn't take long for them to reach the end of the tunnel. They were now in a vertical hole with many shellfish on the ground. There were also weird green crystals scattered all around the area.

"Let's take a break to plan our next move," MingYue suggested as she observed the area.

Alex then created an array that pushed all the water out of the vertical tunnel, turning it dry. Some of the fish started squirming on the ground, giving an idea to Alex.

"Want to try some grilled alien fish?"

"Alien fish? I've already tried some from your world, so why not. I doubt anything could poison us now."

"One of the perks of being a progenitor," Alex said with a chuckle. He then took out a griller, a table, and two chairs.

"Yup. I do wonder what this crystal is; it seems to have a life force, albeit small," MingYue said as she started poking at it.

To her surprise, it was warm to the touch and felt smooth. "A living crystal?" she mumbled, pulling Alex's attention, who was busy gutting the fish.

"What do you mean?"

"It's warm to the touch; you should check it out."

Alex focused his gaze on the crystal.

He found it interesting but didn't feel it would pose any problem to them. "Let me finish cooking first."

A delicious aroma started filling the area as Alex began putting the fish on a plate. He found the fish was not that much different from the ones in his world.

After they finished eating, MingYue asked, "I know you said you would visit my realm before coming here, but you really achieved it."

"Is that surprising? I already know what to do, and you know, for life force, it's like a cheat.

Actually, if we don't modify the method, I'm sure we can reach the immortal realm without a hitch, probably only taking a day at most with sufficient life force."

MingYue let out a chuckle. "You're right. I bet that heaven-chosen would cry blood if they knew how fast you reached the golden core realm."

"Heaven-chosen, huh? It's a big name but meaningless. Rather than that, do you have any idea how to kill the leviathan?

We will probably meet more creatures like that."

"Now that you mention it," MingYue took out a few jade pendants and put them on the table.

"You should use this time to learn some secret techniques; otherwise, your cultivation will just be wasted."

"I doubt we have enough time for that, but what techniques do you have here?" Alex said as he infused his qi into the three jade pendants.

Two were movement secret techniques: one focused on taking a step in the air, while the other on a short-term burst in movement.

If perfected, it would look like blinking. The last one was a hammer technique, focused on blacksmithing, but Alex could use it in combat.

"Even though you cannot master it, with your current talent, you should at least be able to execute it when you want."

"Yeah, by the way, did you find any clue about the technique I'm looking for?"

"Nope, I think you will need to wait for me to reach the central region. I have some clues for the lightning element, but the light one, never heard of it.

As for that leviathan-like creature, I think we should just try our best to avoid them, worse comes to worst, use your explosive to blow them up from inside," MingYue replied. She then asked Alex if he had any idea what to do next.

Alex put some thought into it. He could try creating a vehicle, but it would not survive against those monsters.

He then got an idea, "Let's capture one; we can then hide inside its stomach while controlling it to move to our goal."

"That should work. We just need to find one that stays alone."
