Eternal Night Blood Scripture

Chen Xia walked out of the basement and into the alley by the iron gate.

Chen Xia had come this time to investigate clues about a cult, but he hadn't expected things to escalate so much.

However, he recognized that the people from just now were from the Gathering Justice Mercenary Group. Since they were kidnapping young girls and revealing their murderous intent, Chen Xia naturally wouldn't hold back.

As he came out, he saw someone lying on the ground. The person struggled to get away, but was too badly injured. Seeing that there was no one around and he still had some time, Chen Xia went up, grabbed the person's collar, and asked in a low voice:

"Who ordered you to kidnap them? Are you doing this for cultivation of evil techniques, or are you working for someone? Tell me, and I won't kill you!"

"I... I'll tell you..." The man had witnessed Chen Xia's strength and was filled with fear. He didn't dare to resist at all and quickly said, "We work for Lord Edel. He gave us evil techniques to cultivate, and we need blood. But kidnapping people wasn't our idea; it was Edel's. He wants to use these people for some kind of ritual. I don't know the specifics."

"Do you have a Crimson Shadow here? Is that Edel?"

"No, he's someone under Edel... I don't know his name."

"What's their organization called?"

"The Night God Sect!"

"How many people are in the Night God Sect, and where are their bases?"

"The Night God Sect is spread throughout the entire Federation. Our Gathering of Righteousness is a newly developed branch. They are still developing in other parts of Yijiang City. I don't know how many people there are, but Edel is in charge of a branch headquarters here, seemingly in a village in the southern part of the city. I haven't been there myself. We catch the people, and others are responsible for transporting them."

Hearing the man's words, Chen Xia's heart trembled. It seemed this Night God Sect was not small in scale and was still expanding. He had long heard that behind the development of martial force, there were many dark forces operating in the shadows. There seemed to be many cults in the entire Federation, and just one branch of the Night God Sect had caused so much trouble.

"Brother... I've told you everything I know. Can you let me go... like you said?" the man asked. As soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked down with a punch.

"South City... Tong..." Chen Xia remembered this crucial piece of information. He then quickly grabbed the unconscious woman from the ground, slung her over his shoulder, and sped towards the alley entrance, quickly leaving the area.

Not long after he left.

A group of people rushed over from all directions. Looking at the tragic scene, their scalps tingled. They then entered the basement and found that everything had been taken.

The bald leader, the Banshou, had a grim expression. "The person who came was a master. They stole the cultivation techniques and money."

"We can't stay here. Edel's matter has been discovered. I need to report this to Brother Cao. Let's go!"

The bald Banshou quickly destroyed the basement and led his men away, preparing to report the matter to the leader of the Gathering of Righteousness.

Chen Xia, who had run out of the alley, sprinted with the woman on his shoulder. He ran a long distance and only put the woman down in a dark place near the road.

Chen Xia didn't linger with the woman. Seeing that she was about to wake up, he quickly withdrew from the area.

Since he had blood on him, Chen Xia found a hidden spot, took out a small lighter from his keys, and burned his jacket. After a simple cleanup, he hailed a taxi and drove around Yijiang City. He changed vehicles five times before finally returning to the shopping mall. He bought several sets of clothes, went to a public locker, changed into new clothes in the restroom, and then left the mall with several shopping bags filled with clothes, money, and cultivation techniques.

By the time Chen Xia returned home, it was already 11:30. His mom had already gone to sleep. He confirmed he wasn't being followed before carefully opening the door and returning to the second floor without alerting anyone.

On the second floor, Chen Xia sat on his bed and first took out the books from the shopping bag, beginning to study them carefully.

The book was written in text, which he could understand. Under the lamplight, he quickly finished reading it.

"It's confirmed to be an evil technique..." Chen Xia rejoiced inwardly.

The content of the book was more about a method of proselytizing. It first introduced the concept of eternal life, revered the Blood God as the true god, and becoming a believer would grant bloodline power and eternal life.

It wasn't very detailed about the people in charge of proselytizing, only briefly mentioning that the Eternal Life Sect originated from the Outer Domain, and the Night God Sect was established by people from the Eternal Life Sect. After years of development, it had spread its branches throughout the Federation.

Regarding obtaining power and eternal life, it babbled on about how following the Blood God could grant immense power and eternal life.

There were also many mysterious symbols, seemingly used to communicate with the Blood God, stating that by performing rituals, one could receive power bestowed by the Blood God. However, very few could truly communicate.

In addition, there was a detailed record of the "Eternal Night Blood Scripture."

Cultivating the "Eternal Night Blood Scripture" could greatly enhance internal energy and spirit, converting qi and blood into Yin Sha, forming Gang. Its power far surpassed that of peers, but it would overdraft the body, extract Yin Sha, causing great pain and a bloodthirsty desire. It required long-term blood consumption, otherwise, one would become manic and uncomfortable.

The cultivation technique was only the foundation; the truly powerful aspects were the evil techniques recorded within. Cultivating the "Eternal Night Blood Scripture" allowed one to perform three spirit techniques of the Night God Sect.

Blood Shadow Bat: Condense one's own blood qi to form bats for travel, expanding vision. If broken, it would cause mental damage.

Blood Soul Bewitching Heart: Control the target's spirit, making them fall into an illusion. If the target's will is too strong, the caster might suffer a backlash and mental damage.

Blood Demon Illusion God: Can transform qi and blood into thousands of bats, serving as one's vision and body. It can also control the bats as informants. Every move made by the caster would have a powerful illusionary effect, and they would possess the ability to fly. If necessary, it could transform into Blood Demon form, greatly increasing strength and speed, with automatic physical healing, making them nearly immortal.

Side effect: After the Blood Demon form ends, the caster would suffer immense pain. Repeated use might result in permanent loss of some humanity.

The book only contained the "Eternal Night Blood Scripture," not the three spirit techniques.

Furthermore, performing spirit techniques required spiritual talent.

However, the "Eternal Night Blood Scripture" itself could enhance spiritual power, so it wasn't a major issue.

Generally, only Grade 2 martial warriors with a certain level of spiritual power would be taught the first two spirit techniques by the Night God Sect. The latter, Blood Demon Illusion God, was not taught externally without the Night God Sect's approval.

"The people from the Gathering Justice Mercenary Group should be cultivating the 'Eternal Night Blood Scripture.' However, although this blood scripture is powerful, its side effects are too obvious. It often requires qi and blood replenishment. The benefit is that the strength increases quite rapidly. Ordinary people, if they can cultivate it, can also enhance themselves quickly."

"The Night God Sect should be using this as a basis to spread their teachings everywhere. It's just that most of the people in the Gathering Justice Mercenary Group are below Grade 1 and haven't unleashed the full power of this cultivation technique, nor have they mastered the subsequent spirit techniques."

"The Blood Shadow I encountered earlier should be a leader in spreading the teachings of the Night God Sect. If I can find him, I can obtain the secret spirit techniques."

"Moreover, the essence of these secret spirit techniques falls under the category of sorcerers. But as far as I know, only one in every 100,000 people in the Federation awakens sorcerer abilities. Their status is seemingly higher and rarer than martial warriors. And this 'Eternal Night Blood Scripture,' with its significant flaws, if cultivated well, can allow one to perform spirit techniques even without talent. It's a form of acquired method. However, having lived two lives, my spirit must be higher than ordinary people, so there shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Xia's eyes narrowed slightly. He felt that this "Eternal Night Blood Scripture" wasn't bad. It could enhance internal energy and spirit, which was very suitable for him.

He opened his panel, intending to use Reversal. If he could reverse it without side effects, he could develop in the direction of spirit, undoubtedly gaining another powerful means.

For example, the illusion technique the Blood Shadow used on Chen Xia earlier seemed insignificant, but in reality, even a Grade 2 martial warrior, if caught off guard, could be hacked to death by other mercenary group members. It was quite formidable.

The Blood Shadow could enhance reconnaissance capabilities and provide informants.

Blood Soul, can control people and cast illusions.

Blood Demon, has a wider field of vision, possesses illusionary power, flight, explosive power, healing power, is difficult to kill, and can turn the tide at critical moments.

Although there are no records of the three great Spirit Techniques, Chen Xia has the Eternal Night Blood Scripture which can first enhance internal energy and spirit.

This Technique, for normal people, no matter how powerful, has side effects to worry about. Once cultivated, they become Blood Slaves, cripples. But for Chen Xia, he doesn't need to consider this at all.

Thinking of this, his mind immediately moved: "Reverse Eternal Night Blood Scripture."
