Upon arriving at the Galactic Sky City, Xena Xiao made her way to Galaxy University.
"What an impressive sight!" she murmured, marveling at the university's grandeur.
Galaxy University was shielded by a vast network of divine light, its protective aura visible from miles away. The towering structures within the campus radiated a dignified atmosphere, rivaling the opulence of Milanar Corporation's headquarters. Entry to the university was restricted to students, faculty, and staff; outsiders weren't permitted unless with an invitation.
Xena presented her admission notice and, after completing registration, received keys to her private residence on campus. The living arrangements were beyond her expectations: a fully furnished apartment with a hundred square meters of space, complete with a private training room.
"Xena, classes don't start for a few more days. I'm going to prepare for my breakthrough to the Blood Transformation Stage. Let me know if you need anything," Ethan Lin advised.
"Alright, take care," Xena replied.
With that, Ethan entered the Guardian Spirit space and returned to the Huaxia civilization of a billion years ago, searching for a suitable Blood Transformation Stage technique.
"The Huaxia Supernatural Unit might have what I need," he thought, deciding to contact Zero Long.
"Zero Long, it's Ethan Lin," he announced.
"Honorary Guest Lin! It's rare to hear from you. What brings you to us today?" Zero sounded intrigued.
"I'm looking for a technique that enhances blood," Ethan said directly.
"A blood-strengthening technique? Those are rare. Let me think…" Zero pondered for a moment before replying. "There is one called the Blood Vein Scripture."
"The Blood Vein Scripture? Is it related to the one in old legends?" Ethan asked, intrigued.
"Just a coincidence," Zero clarified. "The Blood Vein Scripture is an ancient Huaxia technique that refines blood, creating powerful 'blood force.' But it's highly dangerous. Practitioners can suffer from fatal backlash, so it's considered a forbidden art."
"And where can I find it?" Ethan asked.
"It belongs to the Blood Sect, an ancient cult that relocated to Myanmar. They developed ways to use blood to control insects, and their disciples are now known as shamans. The Blood Vein Scripture is their most treasured artifact, and we don't have a copy," Zero explained.
"Then tell me where the Blood Sect is located," Ethan requested, his anticipation evident.
Zero hesitated briefly but provided the information.
…
At the headquarters of the Huaxia Supernatural Unit, Zero Long and Dragon Head, the unit's leader, discussed Ethan's unusual request.
"Dragon Head, Honorary Guest Lin wants the location of the Blood Sect. He's likely aiming to seize the Blood Vein Scripture," Zero reported.
"The Blood Vein Scripture? Why would a Tenth Stage need it? And the Blood Sect is formidable. Even a Tenth Stage superhuman could face serious danger," Dragon Head mused, frowning.
"Should we caution him?" Zero asked.
"No need," Dragon Head replied, waving off the suggestion. "At his level, he's more than capable of handling himself. Besides, he's elusive, often vanishing for long periods. This could be an opportunity to learn more about him. Also, the Blood Sect has long been a target of ours. Based in Myanmar and protected by unusual techniques, they've been difficult to eliminate. If Lin plans to infiltrate the Blood Sect, we'll send two teams from Tian and Di Units to monitor and support him if necessary."
Zero nodded approvingly. "It's a solid plan. We might even get to witness the power of a Tenth Stage superhuman in action."
Unaware of the Huaxia Supernatural Unit's involvement, Ethan set off for Myanmar. Following Zero's instructions, he arrived at a colossal red mountain known as Blood Mountain, the Blood Sect's headquarters. Locals viewed the mountain with deep superstition, and its ominous hue had earned it a fearsome reputation.
By the time Ethan reached Blood Mountain, the two units from the Huaxia Supernatural Unit had already discreetly positioned themselves in a nearby village, ready to monitor his movements. Using advanced surveillance, they tracked his approach.
"He's here," Tian One reported as Ethan arrived at the mountain's base. The operatives braced themselves, prepared to enter the mountain as needed.
Standing at the mountain's entrance, Ethan observed his surroundings. He sensed multiple life forms in the village below but assumed they were Blood Sect disciples.
"They're not my concern," he thought, his only goal being the Blood Vein Scripture. Anyone standing in his way, however, would face dire consequences.
With no patience for obstacles, Ethan's heart was set on securing the Blood Vein Scripture at any cost.
