Chapter 92: What If
The Qi Vein is also separated into a few grades, and based on MingYue\'s observation, this one should be a middle grade.
A middle-grade vein capable of growing many medium-grade Qi crystals with occasionally a high-grade Qi Crystal appearing.
MingYue knew she had hit the jackpot; even her family in the past only owned multiple low-quality Qi Veins.
A medium grade is more than enough to satisfy her and Alex\'s needs for now.
"Unfortunately, we cannot move this Qi Vein somewhere else," she mumbled.
If it were possible to move the Qi vein, MingYue would put it in the secret realm.
Many Cultivators have tried this before, but they always fail; the moment the Qi Vein is moved from the ground, or even when the ground around it is lifted, the Qi Vein will implode.
It will then leave behind a perfect sphere of condensed pure Qi. Cultivators call this sphere Qi essence.
Using it will increase a Cultivator\'s control over Qi to a whole new level; some even use it to create a divine-level Heaven artifact.
Of course, the one they use is not medium-grade Qi essence; it\'s something even higher.
She also heard rumors before that an immortal has created a formation replicating the function of a Qi Vein, allowing them to create Qi crystals as needed.
MingYue then took out a sphere from her storage ring, carved with many unique symbols; it\'s the core of the secret realm. But moving it is not as simple as bringing the core around.
Based on Vesa\'s explanation, a secret realm is created by making a new space in the void.
They then use a core to anchor the space\'s energy toward a specific point.
When first hearing it, MingYue asked, "Does that mean it is possible to go to the secret realm from the void?"
[It\'s possible, Queen, but the void is not a place everyone can easily navigate.]
[It also stretches into infinity; even the Progenitor never reached its end. So, the possibility that someone can travel through the void at will is really low.]
MingYue remembered she barely survived in the void, and then a question appeared in her mind, \'Since the void is so vast, how did I get lucky entering another world that easily? Is it really just coincidence?\'
She then asked Vesa. She doesn\'t believe someone would call it fate, but if a high-level being planned it all out, that is still possible.
But the thought of this made MingYue feel annoyed.
Who wouldn\'t? Knowing your entire life is just a dance in someone else\'s palm?
If at least it\'s a good, happy life, then maybe you wouldn\'t complain that much. But MingYue\'s life cannot be called a good, happy life.
[Don\'t worry, Queen, it\'s part of both. Both a coincidence and planned.]
[After Edonia\'s destruction, the survivors of the vampire race moved through the universe, hiding from their pursuers.]
[Some created many descendants all over the place, and you, Queen, have part of vampire blood.]
[No matter how faint it is, it reacted with the Progenitor\'s blood, allowing you to be moved to that place.]
"Doesn\'t that mean there are other vampire survivors?
Why wouldn\'t the old Progenitor choose one of them to inherit his mantle, then?
Why go through all of this? I am sure he should know this is very risky.
There are no guarantees the one who takes his mantle is not affiliated with the vampire race\'s enemy.
And what if the person is completely evil and instead eats the vampire race whole?"
The evil MingYue means those that act like evil cultivators, consuming other creatures to boost their own strength.
Since evil cultivators exist, MingYue is sure some species out there focused all their power systems on devouring exist.
[I don\'t know, Queen, but I am sure he has his reasons.]
[Based on what I know about him, he probably thought somewhere along the line, \'Since the old way failed, what\'s the use of trying it again?\']
MingYue felt that made sense.
The old vampire race was stuck with their own ways and culture, but it\'s already proven not enough since their species was almost driven to extinction.
"Vesa, are you really just a system? Or what Alex usually calls AI?
Every time you mention the old Progenitor, it\'s like you\'re his old friend."
[Well, the old Progenitor created me since he felt lonely, Queen.]
[Being at the top of power for hundreds, thousands, even millions and billions of years alone is tiring. I don\'t know how long he was alive before I came into being, but after that, I was always by his side.]
"Why would he feel lonely? Doesn\'t he have a family too? At that time, the vampire race also flourished; he should have many people under him."
[It\'s different, Queen. Just like you are facing your sect leader, can you act friendly with him?]
[And this is on another level. The Progenitor\'s power is like God to the masses; everyone in their species worships him.]
[As for relationships with other progenitors, it\'s more like politics rather than friendship. Even if some of them hit it off, they are busy with their own tasks, so they just meet occasionally.]
[As for family, even they cannot share the Progenitor\'s burden.]
[It\'s like your thought, Queen, how can you ask your little brother and uncle to help with your problems?]
[Even if we do it the King\'s way, finding ways for them to contribute, the burden still falls under the King\'s shoulders since he is the one deciding everything.]
[What the Progenitor wishes for his future inheritor is for them to have someone they can share all their burdens with. It\'s his long-time wish, Queen.]
