Millennium Tension

By now, they were already hovering just above a vast meadow in the southern part of the main continent. A land surrounded by rocky mountains, a vast land covered by fertile land full of grasses of various colors.

Desolate Prairie, the desolate land of exile and abandonment, a forbidden zone that was said to still hold an unsolved mystery.

"Well, if we look from above, this Desolate Prairie looks ordinary, like a large field full of ordinary grass." Ana commented while observing the area below them.

"We passed this area two weeks ago. In our brief scan, while we are touring, we found nothing here. So at that point, we missed this place." Axel assumed while accessing the system from the Axel Goddess which was floating slightly higher than their current position.

She activated a scanning system to probe deeper into each area they were now passing through.

"Um, are we going to find that Desolate Beast and kill that beast?" Yifei suddenly asked, that matter had been her concern for a while.

"Of course, kill!" Lian cheered, as if she was going to go ahead and finish it as a mission.

"I think it's a bad idea, Lian." Aizen refuted that statement.

"Ah? Why would killing that Desolate Beast be such a bad idea, Master Aizen?" Lian instantly became clueless.

"Let's take a closer look at why this place has been left around like this as a nest for that Desolate Beast. We have several possibilities, but what is certain is that beasts were allowed to stay here for some reason." Aizen stated his reason while arranging several things in the system in his mind.

"Otherwise, it's obvious that the entire large-scale army of the various sects big and small will raid this Desolate prairie to kill that Desolate Beast. There's no way they will allow such a dangerous creature that is clearly in existence to continue to develop into such a terrifying thing." Aizen continued his explanation, and he received a few nods from the girls.

Then, he rearranged their sofa so that it was arranged like a 'U', they immediately faced each other on the three comfortable long sofas. "What do you think as natives of this cultivation world?"

Hearing Aizen's brief question, the six cultivator girls could only nod their heads. They were of one kind or another on this, just right after Aizen stated his reason.

"Ah! I suddenly remembered." Feng Zhi spoke at once, ahead of the others.

"Hm? Can you share it with us, Feng Zhi?" Axel blinked innocently, but it was clear there was interest in her eyes.

"En, I remember that my grandfather was once on an expedition to explore and explore this area. He and his group were the last groups to ever explore this area, that's what I know." Feng Zhi looked up a little, she tried to remember some details that she knew a few years ago.

"What about the fate of the expeditionary squad on that mission?" Ana asked further.

"Uhm, I don't really know... It's just that, it was a tragedy... From that team, I know that my grandfather and Elder Su survived. As for the rest and other details, I don't know. My grandfather didn't want to tell me anything about it. It seems the said expedition has become a nightmare for him..." Feng Zhi twiddled her fingers, she didn't know much.

"I see, that grandfather with a long white beard and that woman, hmm... Yes, we found a wormhole underground. Hmm... Starting over a kilometer underground, from this area in a radius of twenty kilometers there are many wormholes." Aizen displayed the scan results to a semi-transparent field mapping on the hologram in their center.

Instantly, it received the full attention of the others especially the six cultivator girls who had absolutely no idea where this real mapping had come from.

"Look here, from here down and then extending in all directions. It's a wormhole that Desolate Beast makes underground for its passage." Aizen pointed to several points on the map.

"Can we find that Desolate Beast in this wormhole?" Su Xia asked out of curiosity.

"Not yet, we can't confirm that yet. We'll search a wider area at a deeper depth. Maybe we'll find something." Aizen shook his head with a smile at the youngest girl among the fellow sisters, and he received an innocent nod from the six girls.

After fifteen minutes of searching, they still had no satisfactory results. Not less than ten kilometers deep and the coverage area was nearly all over this part of Desolate Prairie.

"Ugh... This is useless. We didn't find anything from all over this meadow to a depth of ten kilometers. The rocky mountains surrounding this vast place are the borders of this Desolate Prairie, correct?" Ana grumbled a little. There was no meaningful result, it annoyed her quite a bit.

"Em, well... Feng Zhi, if we ask your grandfather for some guidance in this Desolate Prairie, will he want to come?" Aizen scratched his cheek slightly, they did not find any suspicious or eye-catching clues from this scan.

"I think my grandfather would be delighted to come here and help you, Master Aizen." Feng Zhi nodded in confirmation. "Need me to send him an emergency message?"

Aizen wagged his hand lightly at the offer, it was too complicated and time-consuming. "No, that's not necessary. Can you lend me the teleportation talisman you bought at the auction house? We'll just summon him with that."

"Ah, um... It's a disposable talisman... It's not borrowed anymore if it's destroyed after use, right?" Feng Zhi felt a little hesitant about giving it up, but she still took the talisman from her Space Ring.

She treated the talisman not only because it could be used in an emergency, but also because it was from Aizen and made by him.

"It's okay, I'll return it with six pair for each of you to be fair. It remains for single use with the same product, use it in an emergency of urgent and unexpected things for you." Aizen wasn't that cruel to borrow and let it crumble, Feng Zhi bought it with the money she had in the auction house after all.

Before they leave Zavier and leave these six girls to flourish, of course, he would provide a better item than the old one. Not perfect or much better, just a little bit better and for the inevitable.

Knowing that, Feng Zhi did not wait for another second and immediately passed the teleportation talisman over to Aizen. Vanished one and grew another six, it was such a kind offer.

Aizen took the talisman Feng Zhi respectfully handed out with both hands. He held it with two fingers like an Onmyouji, then the black rune there suddenly lit up.

He changed the space rune slightly from a one-way path to a two-way transportation line with minimal power.

Instantly, a circle of white teleportation runes appeared on the talisman. He threw the talisman on the floor to let the talisman work. The teleportation circle was enlarged into a circle with a diameter of one meter right after the talisman was scorched.

The figures of two people suddenly appeared within the teleportation circle of the talisman. As expected, Elder Mo appeared there but he was also accompanied by a woman.

"G, grand, grandfather... You, you, you are indecent!" Feng Zhi exclaimed embarrassedly. She was dumbfounded when she saw her grandfather appear with a woman who was hugging him from behind.

They looked affectionate and indecent, and it was only because the hand of an unknown woman had entered her grandfather's top robe! Who knew what they would do if it continued.

"Huh? Zi'er? Why are you in my room? Eh? Where are we? Why did I suddenly... Um, where is this?" Elder Mo froze instantly at Feng Zhi's shout, the woman who was hugging him from behind as well. He looked around and realized he was no longer in his room.

"You, you, Elder Su? You're trying to tease and seduce my grandfather again? My grandfather is old and doesn't look attractive, why do you always bother him?" Feng Zhi was shocked when the woman who was hugging her grandfather looked at him.

She spoke so innocently and heartlessly, her grandfather felt hurt from the unseen and accepted it silently.

"Ugh... Zi'er, isn't that too cruel for you to throw at your grandfather? I just look old, but my soul is always young!" Elder Mo shouted out his spirits at the evil accusations from his occasionally ignorant granddaughter.

"Ara? What do you mean by me bothering your grandfather, Zi'er? I've been going out with your grandfather~ So, from now on, please call me grandma." Elder Su giggled in hum to tease her adorable granddaughter.

"Wait? What? You and my grandfather, have, have, that? When I wasn't there to watch over you in a month? But, but, that, that... Aww..." Feng Zhi lost her wit in speech for an instant until she bit her own tongue accidentally, she was so shocked.
