Under the dark, ink-like night sky of Milan Star, the distant sun offered only faint illumination. Without city lights, the rural areas were pitch black, with only a sparse scattering of starlight hinting at the vastness of space.
But suddenly, the dark sky above Milan Star underwent a striking transformation.
A radiant array of light burst through the night, illuminating the planet. These beams interwove, creating the image of a massive network of human meridians across the heavens.
This vision instantly caught the attention of powerful figures across Milan Star.
At the Milanar Corporation's towering headquarters, Hunter Li gazed upward at the celestial meridian map and murmured, "A phenomenon… This must be the sign of a divine skill, likely one focused on meridian cultivation."
Just then, he detected something extraordinary—the sound of the cosmic rules resonating across Milan Star.
Hum!
Once… twice… thrice…
Ethan and Xena, deeply immersed in the Muscle-Tendon Classic transmission, were unaware of the phenomenon or the resonant shockwaves of the cosmic rules, but they knew they couldn't complete the entire transmission without drawing too much attention. Abruptly, they halted the transfer when they had reached half of the sutra.
In the sky above Milan Star, the colossal network of meridians shattered, and darkness once again cloaked the planet.
Watching this from below, Hunter Li frowned, pondering. "The vision was incomplete—a fragmented sutra, but still powerful enough to resonate seven times. Whoever dared attempt this transmission on a major star like Milan is anything but discreet."
Typically, anyone fortunate enough to obtain a divine skill would choose a secluded location, even venturing into deep space, to avoid detection. The fact that this transmission was happening here—and that it was potentially a supreme-level skill—implied the recipient was either extraordinarily confident or had limited options.
Meanwhile, powerful beings across Milan Star discussed the strange phenomenon through telepathic connections.
"A divine transmission, and at the seventh level… Such events must be reported to the Federation Divine Alliance."
"Not only a seventh-level skill—this is a fragmented version. I'd wager it's a supreme-level technique!"
"The Federation recently mandated that all high-level divine skills must be reported without pursuit or interference."
"I heard of several high-level divine skills emerging on Earth recently. Could something in the universe be causing these skills to resurface?"
"Without the transmitter revealing themselves, it's nearly impossible to trace. This might not warrant our full attention."
Guardian Spirit Space
Ethan was in the midst of breaking into the Purification Stage, with Xena's consciousness standing guard beside him. She wasn't overly concerned; advancing to the Purification Stage was typically straightforward. With the Muscle-Tendon Classic's profound potency, Ethan was almost certain to succeed.
Meridians are fragile pathways in the human body. Even though body cultivators strengthen them somewhat through training, the basic structure remains delicate. In the Purification Stage, however, the meridians are thoroughly refined, followed by the bones.
The Muscle-Tendon Classic, or Sutra of Muscle/Tendon Transformation, was originally split into two parts in ancient Huaxia. However, the full version also includes the marrow-cleansing techniques, forming a complete Sutra of Muscle and Marrow Transformation.
Having studied in Shaolin's Sutra Pavilion, Ethan possessed the full version, encompassing both aspects—making it a perfect match for the Purification Stage.
The essence of this stage is to first purify the meridians, then the marrow.
Right now, Ethan was focused on his meridians.
Human meridians include twelve main channels and the eight extra vessels. Opening one of these channels and purifying it completely is enough to enter the Purification Stage.
Ancient Huaxia had the concept of clearing meridians, but there was no concept of complete purification. In the Galactic Era, however, powerful cultivation techniques and miraculous elixirs made it possible to purify meridians to a strength surpassing steel.
As he circulated the Muscle-Tendon Classic, Ethan's first primary meridian, the Hand Taiyin Lung Channel, was opened and purified under the sutra's guidance. With each cycle, mysterious energy from the void infused his meridians, aiding the purification process.
"I'll need three days," Ethan muttered, his eyes gleaming.
"Three days for what?" Xena asked.
Grinning, Ethan replied, "I estimate it'll take three more days to fully reach the Purification Stage."
"That's amazing! I'll keep pushing to reach the Tenth Level of Body Refinement," Xena said with determination.
Over the following days, Xena and her fellow Feilan High School students enjoyed a whirlwind tour of Milanar Corporation and Milan Star itself. They sampled exotic cuisine and visited breathtaking landmarks, each returning with phones brimming with photos and memories.
On the fifth day, Milanar Corporation prepared to send Xena and her friends back home. Before their departure, each student received a precious vial of C78 Essence Purification Elixir, a generous gift from Milanar Corporation.
