Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Swordsman
"Holy smokes!"
This was just the first layer, yet its powerful features still shocked Ethan.
It can be said that after acquiring this opportunity, his family began to soar!
"If I need to, I can take out the coffin for use."
One day in the real world, one year in the game world, he could send it back to Blackwood the same day he took it out!
"Phew."
Ethan could even feel his heartbeat at this moment, this was a supreme psychic relic, after all, which could cause a bloodbath in the real world in an instant!
"Calm down, calm down."
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ethan calmed down.
Watching Nathan re-enter the Coffin of Dire Death, but this time to challenge the second layer.
Again, a space without light or sun.
But this time.
Nathan faced countless jumping zombies!
These creatures, stronger than the previous zombies, could even emit black psychic powers, jumping several meters high, each possessing the strength of the Emerging Ability phase.
He had just entered when he was overwhelmed by these jumping zombies, dying several times in just one minute, forcing him to exit the Coffin of Dire Death.
"Too terrifying, even a Transcendent Seed phase might not be able to open the second layer's permissions!"
Exiting the coffin.
Nathan was still shaken.
...
After acquiring the Coffin of Dire Death, the people of Blackwood liked to lie in the coffin and play for days, continuously accumulating combat experience.
[Blackwood Year 39.]
[Your family has established the 'Forebearer Psychic Array' at the family residence!]
"Is this the power of the Forebearer Psychic Array?"
"Thanks to the Forebearer's blessing, with the Forebearer Psychic Array, our family has another trump card against enemies!"
"Even if a Transcendent Seed master invades our home, as long as we gather the power of the whole clan, we can strike and kill in one blow!"
In the Blackwood ancestral hall, all the clan members gathered together.
The ground was glowing, mysterious ancient texts appeared on the floor, forming a diagram of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
At the same time.
All the clan members' psychic powers emerged, converging towards Nathan, who was raising his right hand high, forming a sword as dazzling as the sun!
This sword, gathered the power of all Blackwood clan members.
"Finally completed."
Ethan was also delighted with the completion of the Forebearer Psychic Array, and this was just Nathan gathering the clan's power.
As long as the psychic array gradually covers the entire Gratitude Village.
All the people of Gratitude Village can gather their power on the sword, undoubtedly the strongest protective measure for the clan.
But the surprises of this year were not yet over.
[Mary carried her child for ten months and gave birth to a boy named Kevin.]
[Received Spiritual Tribute +10]
The folks at Blackwood were already kneeling in the shrine, with Julian bowing his head repeatedly while holding the chubby little Kevin.
"May the Forebearer bless us, I've had four kids already, hahaha, and I'm not stopping!"
Mary rolled her eyes at her husband, "Did you give birth? Or was it my big behind that did the work?"
"Hahaha!"
In no time, the Forebearer's shrine was filled with laughter and joy.
Ethan couldn't help but laugh too.
Speaking of which, Mary, this daughter-in-law of Blackwood, was way better than the previous one, Karen.
This girl's personality and physique were both formidable; she was straightforward and blunt, which the folks from Blackwood, being from the wilds themselves, greatly appreciated. Plus, Mary was incredibly hardworking; she started helping out with family chores right after getting married.
They say women are weak, but Mary was different. When she heard that people from Gratitude Village were robbed by horse bandits while she was still showing her pregnancy, she picked up a double-bladed axe and went to settle the score, capturing a bandit stronghold and handing them over to the authorities in Forest Town.
Fast forward in time.
Ethan was already preparing for the grand decennial festival.
Yet this year, Blackwood continued to bring him new surprises.
[Your descendant Amelia has successfully concocted the 'Black Jade Continuation Ointment'!]
"Forebearer, Amelia has finally done it!"
An ointment that can regenerate limbs!
This stuff was pitch black, stored in a specially made little gourd.
"Genius!"
Ethan sincerely admired, then sent Amelia a 'Forebearer's Love'.
Maybe Amelia's talent for cultivating psychic powers was poor.
But when it came to understanding medicine, she was a genius among geniuses. Real-life pharmacists were rare, but they existed and had their own prescriptions. However, concocting medicine wasn't easy even with a prescription.
It required using one's own psychic abilities to purify and refine the medicine, a complex process.
"Thanks for the Forebearer's gift, Amelia is going into seclusion now, waiting to reach the Emerging Ability stage to try concocting a grade-eight potion!"
After saying this.
Amelia in the shrine headed to the training room to seclude herself.
Following Amelia's seclusion, Julian also came to the Forebearer's shrine.
"Great ancestor, your child is also going into seclusion. Once I have my psychic fire, I'll try to concoct my arm!"
Julian showed his teeth in a grin.
This kid had always wanted to forge a War AI Bionic Robot, but he never quite got the hang of it, especially the biotech involved in War AI Bionic Robots, which was beyond Julian's understanding. But after his arm was severed and he used a prosthetic, he started thinking differently.
"So you're taking the path of mechanical abilities, huh..."
Ethan raised an eyebrow, but he knew he was just joking. Transforming oneself into a machine, the most crucial part was still the chips and such. However, Julian always had some ideas that were quite surprising.
Like Julian's forged equipment... the attributes were very random...
The same forging technique, two sets of Black Iron Beast Blood Armor, could have two different attributes.
These siblings had just entered seclusion. Suddenly, at the Blackwood residence, a surge of psychic power shot up into the sky, revealing its force.
[Your descendant Lucas has successfully broken through the Emerging Ability phase and emerged from seclusion!]
[After years of seclusion, his Psychic Constitution has transformed, shedding the weakest Earth and Fire Psychic Constitutions.]
[His basic swordsmanship has reached a divine level. With years of insight, he has integrated the 'Sword Glow' technique into his swordsmanship, creating the peak ordinary sword technique 'Hundred Shadows Sword Glow'!]
[Achieved the profession—Swordsman!]
