Chapter 053: Sensational News

Within the sea of consciousness, the pale blue main divine entity emitted a dazzling glow as it floated quietly. Threads of the main divine power radiated from it, wandered around in the sea of consciousness, and then returned to the main divine entity, repeating this cycle endlessly.

Chen Xiao noticed that at this moment, his spirit could easily connect with the main divine entity and even utilize a portion of its power. “When did it move into the sea of consciousness?” He withdrew his spiritual energy from there and carefully sensed his strength. His spiritual power was at the peak of the third level, while everything else seemed unchanged.

Yet, he felt there was a slight difference between himself now and before, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. “This must be related to the ‘Zhou Tian Ming Gu Fa’,” Chen Xiao mused after a while, hesitantly. He didn’t know what kind of technique it was, but it clearly had an impact on the main divine entity.

He took out his phone to check the time and was surprised to find that only three minutes had passed. “Three minutes—raising my spiritual power from the early stage of the third level to its peak. This ‘Zhou Tian Ming Gu Fa’ is truly formidable.”

Shock appeared on Chen Xiao’s face. In just three minutes, his spiritual power had improved by two levels. After obtaining the main divine entity, his spiritual power had grown to the early stage of the third level thanks to its nourishment, but it hadn’t improved further since then. Now, through practicing this technique, his spiritual power had reached the peak of the third level in just three minutes—something he couldn’t help but admire.

“It seems none of the books in that library are simple. No wonder they’re so strictly sealed off; not even a minute longer is allowed.”

Chen Xiao resolved to find an opportunity to enter that library again and record all its documents. But since it was still early, he didn’t plan to leave right away. Earlier, he had taken over a dozen books on spells and combat techniques from the library at the Supernatural Association’s headquarters. Now was a good chance.

With a mental command, Chen Xiao retrieved those thin books from the main divine space and began studying them.

…

Chen Xiao continued practicing in the training room, unaware that a world-shocking event was unfolding outside. That afternoon, more than a dozen countries in Europe, led by Italy and France, announced simultaneously that they would return to China all 1,350 ancient treasures stolen from China before World War I, worth over a trillion dollars!

The world was stunned.

…

“What are they doing? Are they trying to show us goodwill?”

The upper ranks of the Chinese Supernatural Association and China’s high-ranking officials both frowned. A few days ago, traces of vampires had appeared in China’s supernatural world. Today at noon, Western vampires had attempted to wreak havoc in Beijing, China’s capital, but were stopped by three mysterious experts.

Yet now, such news had emerged, leaving the Supernatural Association and national leaders utterly baffled.

The Dark Blood Clan is a taboo among vampires; few in the East know of their existence. In the eyes of those with supernatural abilities in the East, vampires are not classified by type.
“Anyway, if a large number of vampires are flooding into China, perhaps that incident is real. We must be fully prepared and not be deceived by their appearances.”
In a dimly lit meeting room of the China Supernatural Abilities Association, a dozen individuals clad in simple black robes, their faces hidden, were discussing in hushed tones.
“It can’t be a lie,” a clear voice said. “The messenger is at least at the sixth rank, maybe even higher. They wouldn’t make such a joke. Moreover, the influx of vampires into China proves the truth of this matter.”
“Changli, are you sure that person is really at the sixth rank?” asked a tall figure sitting at the front.
“A conservative estimate—at least the sixth rank! Possibly even a seventh-rank powerhouse!”
Once those words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
After a long while, the figure at the front spoke up, “Let’s plan how to deal with these vampires.”
“We don’t need to deal with them,” Mo Changli said again. “The information says the Western vampires only want their progenitor’s sacred artifact…”
“We can’t trust that information completely,” a sharp voice interjected.
“We can’t be sure if the messenger is an accomplice of the vampires. We can’t trust that information!” the sharp voice continued.
“Then, Vice President Hai, what do you suggest? Eliminate all the vampires who have come to China? Chris Bruh, the leader of the Bruh clan among the Thirteen Vampire Clans—kill him? Do you really want bats to swarm China?” Mo Changli said coldly.
“Well…” The other person fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
“In my opinion, what we should do now is stay quiet. As long as they don’t cause trouble in China, it doesn’t matter. They want the sacred artifact of the vampires? Let them have it. Our goal should be the other treasures that will be unearthed soon. Meanwhile, we just need to keep a close eye on these vampires’ movements to find the location of the treasures.”
Another person stood up in the meeting room and spoke.
“Not only that, but whenever a powerful supernatural artifact appears, it will surely cause strange phenomena. By then, probably all the world’s supernatural beings will come to China to join in the chaos. We must ensure stability in the secular world.”
Mo Changli’s entire body was covered by his black robe, so his expression was invisible.
“I think it’s necessary for us to ally with the people of China’s Soul.”
“China’s Soul? You mean…”
“China’s Soul—The Heavenly Group!” Mo Changli said slowly, emphasizing each word.
…
No one knew that the turmoil caused by the European countries, or rather, the Thirteen Vampire Clans, was all just to please a young boy who had recently acquired supernatural abilities and hadn’t yet attracted much attention.
At that moment, this young boy was walking out of Yu Ye Xiao Chen’s training room.
Just as Chen Xiao picked up the phone to send a message to Yu Ye Xiao Chen, informing him to come over, a voice rang out.
“Chen Xiao, are you the newcomer from the Xuan Group?”

“Oh?” Chen Xiao felt a stir in her heart. She turned her head and saw that it was Ouyang Zheng, the member of the Yellow Team she had met just now.
“It’s me. Hello,” Chen Xiao said with a faint smile, extending her hand first.
“Hehe, hello.”
A hint of mockery appeared on Ouyang Zheng’s face as he shook hands with Chen Xiao.
With a crackling sound, as if something had collided, both of them released their hands at the same time.
“So you’re a martial warrior?” Ouyang Zheng widened his eyes.
“What was that just now? The legendary internal energy, true qi?” Chen Xiao frowned slightly.
