My Descendants Are My Power

Ethan shifted his attention to Adam and Alexander.

Ten years might be a blink of an eye for the Blackwood elders, but for the younger generation, it was a significant portion of their lives.

The last time he saw them, the father and son were pirates commanding an eighth-grade Undying Pirate Ship.

Now, they were engaged in a fierce battle against a group of psychics at the edge of Panoram State, their ship cutting through the waves.

Even in Azure Cloud, Emerging Ability psychics were nothing special.

However, in Panoram State, they seemed to be regarded as formidable figures.

Adam and Alexander, aboard their ship, led their undead crew in a relentless assault against their opponents.

It was clear that Panoram State's techniques were lacking; only twenty or so psychics could fly on their swords.

This was a complete and utter domination.

[Your descendants, Adam and Alexander, have spent years cultivating on the high seas aboard their pirate ship. Adam has reached the peak of the Emerging Ability Realm, while Alexander has advanced to the middle stage.]

[The father and son duo discovered Panoram State and decided to explore its territories.]

[Upon landing, they were confronted by a group of psychics seeking to claim their possessions. They learned that their adversary was the city lord and were forced into battle.]

"So that's what happened," Ethan murmured, deciding not to intervene.

The strongest individuals in Panoram State were only at the Competent Force Realm.

Adam and Alexander had Competent Force experts protecting them from the shadows.

Next, Ethan turned his attention to Benjamin.

Unlike Adam and Alexander, who had chosen a life of adventure on the high seas, Benjamin had opted for a different path after the Blackwood clan entered seclusion.

The young man was currently amidst a crowd of people.

Numerous young psychics gathered outside a mountain, awaiting the opening of a grand formation.

A Developing Skill psychic rose into the air and announced in a deep voice, "The Treasure Mountain opens once a century. Today, the young generation of Blackwater County will compete for the title of champion..."

Benjamin, having experienced his fair share of the world, rolled his eyes at the Developing Skill psychic's theatrics.

"Someone might mistake you for the Celestial Hand with all that posturing," he muttered sarcastically.

[Guided by Olivia, your descendant, Benjamin, has been cultivating and seeking opportunities throughout the land.]

[He has participated in battles over the ruins of Developing Skill psychics, been hunted by Developing Skill experts, and received invitations from powerful factions. His cultivation has advanced to the Transcendent Seed Realm...

He has obtained numerous spoils of war: a low-grade ability weapon, the "Transcendent Blood Droplet"; a mid-grade ability weapon, the "Cloudwyrm Illusion Beast Pendant"; and a profound-grade technique, the "Earth Deity Descent Technique"... ]

[Gained trait: Worldly Wise.]

Experience exclusive tales on empire

[Having witnessed the wonders and tribulations of the world, his comprehension has increased by 3%. His comprehension will continue to grow as he experiences more.]

[Your descendant, Benjamin, is currently participating in the "Blackwater Youth Champion Competition." The individual who obtains the most tokens from the Treasure Mountain will be crowned champion...]

Ethan watched his three youngest descendants with a hint of melancholy.

The Blackwood clan once had many such youths.

They, too, should have had the opportunity to live such vibrant lives.

Time flew by, and another decade passed.

[Blackwood Year 250]

As the Grand Rite commenced, Ethan opened his eyes once more.

The thirteen members of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary remained unchanged.

Marcus had grown stronger, acquiring two more psychic artifacts, and the third generation of Blackwoods had obtained a substantial amount of Druid bones.

"He broke through?" Ethan exclaimed, his eyes widening in delight.

It was Nathan, who had been cultivating in seclusion among the Druids!

Within a Druid psychic sanctuary, Nathan exhaled slowly, his body wreathed in black energy.

His aura had grown significantly more powerful.

"Forebearer, I have broken through!" Nathan announced, unable to contain his excitement.

Every step closer to power brought him closer to avenging his family.

Mike and Arnold, two Druids, approached Nathan with smiles, offering their congratulations.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Mr. Nathan!"

"Hahaha, thank you both," Nathan replied with a hearty laugh.

Ethan smiled, heartened by the sight of Nathan's camaraderie with the two Druids.

Nathan had been concealing his true strength all these years, even taking nine wives to maintain his cover.

His peaceful life and cultivation were due in part to the friendship of Mike and Arnold.

[After years of cultivation, your descendant, Nathan, has gradually gained control over his powers.

Although he is unable to fully utilize the "Four Symbols Death Energy Formation Technique" without the Death Coffin Formation, he has combined the death energy from the corpses provided by Daniel, the souls he has gathered, and his mid-Competent Force cultivation to reach half of his former strength!]

[Using the "Four Symbols Death Energy Formation Technique" as a foundation, he has created his own unique technique, the profound-grade "Myriad Souls Solitary Path Technique." This technique allows him to absorb the souls of others, using them as a foundation for his power.]

Ethan had witnessed the Myriad Souls Solitary Path Technique in action.

It allowed Nathan to absorb the souls of ten thousand beings and borrow their power, similar to the Four Symbols Death Energy Formation Technique.

However, it was an incomplete version, lacking the full might of the Death Coffin technique.

Still, it was a testament to Nathan's talent that he had created his own unique technique.

Ethan glanced at his other descendants.

Lucas's injuries had healed to seventy percent.

Julian's mastery of his professions continued to grow.

Amelia remained dedicated to her alchemy.

Just as Ethan was about to re-enter seclusion, his expression shifted.

[Special Event - Chuck's Breakthrough]

[Your family friend, Chuck, ranked on the Pinnacle Apprentice Ranking, has been suppressing his cultivation for many years. Under the guidance of General Owen and Daoist Bill in the Imperial Domain, he has experienced an epiphany, reaching the threshold of the Basic Mastery Realm. He can no longer suppress the impending Heavenly Tribulation!]

Donna's face paled as she appeared within the Ancestral Grounds.

"Forebearer, what do we do?" she asked urgently.

"Master is in the Imperial Domain. If he breaks through to the Basic Mastery Realm, he'll need to find a secluded location. He won't be able to conceal his aura. The Celestial Venerable will..."

He would be discovered!

Within the Imperial Domain, the eyes of numerous Aspects of the Celestial Hand snapped open.

The Basic Mastery Aspect who had arrived from Sunshine Mansion twenty years ago was still present!

A cruel smile spread across his face.

"Found you, you cowardly rat!"

In Sunshine Mansion, atop Kylin Mountain, Austin sipped his tea.

His eyes suddenly brightened as he glanced at the caged birds outside.

"Chuck, is it?" he chuckled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"An interesting fellow indeed. To think he was hiding his true cultivation all along. It seems his ranking on the Pinnacle Apprentice Ranking was a farce."

"My, my," he murmured, his voice laced with amusement.

"I've stumbled upon a fascinating new collectible."
