"The Xu Family faced this great calamity, scattering like monkeys from a fallen tree, leaving us with a slight manpower shortage, thus sending everyone out to seek help."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have rushed you to return, after all, the Xu Family needs heirs to carry on..."

Enveloped in darkness, although Xu Tianci's face was somewhat obscured, his voice was still the familiar one that labored for the Xu Family, reassuring Zisheng's father.

Amidst the wilderness, with little knowledge of the Xu Family's predicament, he anxiously asked, "How did our Xu Family suddenly fall into such a state?"

Xu Tianci sighed, not explaining too much: "At this point, saying too much is useless, we can only do our best to salvage it. Fortunately, everyone in the Xu Family is making efforts, and I believe we can overcome this crisis together."

"By the way, quickly deal with the fierce beast, and send it to Zisheng. He is currently at a critical stage of transformation, soon, our Xu Family will give birth to another genius comparable to Xiaofan of old!"

As soon as Xu Zisheng was mentioned.

Zisheng's mother gazed at the eerie crimson building, filled with an inexplicable sense of dread, quickly asking, "Is Zisheng alright?"

"He's fine."

"You'll understand when you see him later."

Eager to see their son, Zisheng's parents hurriedly arranged for the group to process the fierce beast on the truck into portions.

Following Xu Tianci's orders, leading over thirty Overlord Level Transcendents, they carried the beast's meat into the building.

As soon as everyone entered, their expressions subtly changed; the ground was entirely covered with viscous blood, not only the ground but also the walls and ceiling, as if the entire closed building was constructed of blood.

Moreover, there wasn't much light inside; it was all reflected from the blood, making it feel incredibly oppressive.

It felt like a huge stone pressing on their hearts.

Perhaps it was just an illusion, but the moment they stepped inside, everyone faintly felt as if something was always watching them.

"Xiaosheng, is that you? Where are you?" Zisheng's mother anxiously called out.

She couldn't imagine her son staying in such a grim place, her worries intensifying, urging everyone to move faster.

The group ascended step by step, even as Overlord Level Transcendents, they couldn't help but instinctively tense up.

The enduring feeling of being watched grew stronger, making their hair stand on end involuntarily; if not for Zisheng's parents leading the way, they would have wanted to turn back.

Finally.

On the fifth floor of the closed building, in the corridor, they saw a crimson figure from behind, with blood pooling ankle-deep, clutching its head and muttering to itself.

"Pain!"

"It hurts so much!"

Upon seeing that figure, Zisheng's mother immediately recognized it as her son, whom she had longed for day and night, her heart aching to the extreme, running while shouting, "Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng, what's wrong with you?"

The blood-covered figure slowly turned around, revealing Xu Zisheng's face, saying sorrowfully, "Mom, it hurts so much."

As soon as he finished speaking.

His expression instantly changed, replaced by a cruel smile, with blinding red light shooting out from his eyes.

A sudden transformation occurred.

The blood below lifted him up, propelling him forward, completing a three-hundred-sixty-degree spin mid-air, letting out a roar.

Before anyone could even react.

They were horrified to find their bodies unable to move, each piece of flesh on their faces and bodies detaching and being swallowed by Xu Zisheng's gaping maw.

Plop, plop...

One skeletal frame after another, losing their support, collapsed into the pool of blood, including Zisheng's parents.

Meanwhile, outside the closed building.

Xu Tianci, sensing the sudden quiet of the night, lips drew into an exaggerated smile.

He threw the remaining beast meat into the closed building, then walked over step by step.

His body trembling slightly with excitement, as if deliberately holding back laughter.

The final step of the Blood Secret Technique, he had not told Xu Zisheng, nor anyone else.

Which was—

Dual Soul Coexistence!

With one person bearing endless pain, the other maintains rationality.

This is the true core of the Blood Secret Technique for controlling the trait of corruption!

Back then, Pei Jing obtained the Blood Secret Technique, and for this reason, did not allow his old companions to cultivate it, believing that those old companions of his, with their pride, would never confine another person to endure suffering on their behalf.

...

The next day.

Su Qi was assisting his parents in awakening.

Nowadays, with the cleaning company earning large sums daily, he had ample resources; even if his parents' spirituality was weak, as long as he spent enough All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, he believed they could successfully awaken.

Of course, this was not to hope for his parents to become masters, but because after becoming Transcendents, their efficiency in absorbing nutrients from beast meat would greatly improve, extending their lifespans, and providing some means of self-preservation.

After spending nearly thirty All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals each, his parents completed their awakening.

They eagerly experimented with various abilities, as excited as children.

After all.

In this world, no one does not aspire to be extraordinary.

The often-heard saying "contentment brings happiness" and "being an ordinary person is quite good" are just excuses for those with shallow pockets, desperately finding a reason to support their weary selves.

As for his sister Su Duoduo...

Su Qi temporarily decided not to waste the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals on her.

Only those who have been soaked by rain can understand the desire to topple the umbrellas covering others.

Besides, there were some secret insights about awakening mentioned by Principal Pei.

He established Zone 9 High School to select students for awakening.

On one hand, it was indeed due to the lack of resources in the Ninth District, out of sheer necessity.

On the other hand, studying genuinely enhances one's spirituality, as some studies have shown that the essence of learning is largely about understanding the world's mysteries and touching the world's origin.

Some Holy Sanctuary Clans have even reached the level of selecting Mysterious Paths deliberately.

That's right.

Mysterious Paths usually emerge randomly under normal conditions, with uncontrollable traits.

However, some extraordinarily intelligent geniuses have discerned partial patterns, deliberately intervening in the emergence of Mysterious Paths.

A method revealed among them is studying, learning the knowledge of desired Mysterious Paths, thereby increasing emergence probabilities.

Some Holy Sanctuary Clans, primarily following the mythological path, have their clan members study Immortal Dao Ancient Texts and come into contact with Immortal Dao artifacts from a young age, thus increasing emergence probabilities.

Therefore, Su Qi also considered attempting to create a powerful path for Su Duoduo.

After all, with his sister's free-spirited nature, after awakening, who knows which corner of the wilderness she might venture to, so having a strong Mysterious Path would offer more assurance.

He couldn't possibly watch over this naughty girl all the time.

While Su Qi was contemplating future matters, a phone call came in.

It was Lin Nan.

"Uncle Lin, what's the matter?"

"Xiaoqi, it's like this, our convoy transporting beast meat to other districts was completely intercepted."

"The opposing party is quite powerful, possibly involving Apostle Level Transcendents; do you think you could handle it?"

"Or should I arrange for Qiu Ran to accompany you?"

On the other end of the line came Lin Nan's voice.

Su Qi carefully inquired about the details and quickly deduced that the other party seemed to be targeting the cleaning company.

Because.

All intercepted convoys were gathered at a single location, without disabling the location devices!
