My Descendants Are My Power

The Blood Beast Fruit Tree had transformed into a Blood Psychic Ability Tree, meaning its fruits would now possess doubled potency! The evolution of plants was a wondrous phenomenon, often requiring years of meticulous growth.

Even the oldest known tree on Earth was only a sixth-grade, and that tree had already lived for nearly ten thousand years, its existence coinciding with the resurgence of psychic abilities!

Ethan, filled with a sense of accomplishment, continued to accelerate time, observing Blackwood's steady growth.

He glanced at the event column.

This time's harvest included a surprising amount of equipment!

[Your family has defeated 16 experts from Horizon Falls Taylor and obtained a large amount of spoils of war!]

[Obtained a primary psychic ability device, the Psychic God Xin Sheng Robe!]

This robe, once worn by Horizon Falls Taylor's Ryan, now appeared no different from ordinary clothing.

But its appearance was deceiving. When Ryan had been surrounded by numerous psychic beasts, this robe had allowed him to withstand the full brunt of their attacks before succumbing. Though pierced, the robe could recover in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

[Psychic God Xin Sheng Robe]

[Capable of automatic recovery and autonomous shape-shifting. In times of crisis, the robe protects the wearer, withstanding a full-force strike below the level of a Transcendent Seed. It maintains the wearer's mental clarity and wards off all ailments!]

Blackwood had acquired another primary psychic ability device.

Nathan, recognizing its value, gifted the Psychic God Xin Sheng Robe to Olivia. After all, she was often out and about, frequently encountering danger. On several occasions, Ethan had even used his Forefather position to eliminate assassins targeting her.

[Obtained primary psychic ability equipment...]

[Obtained medium-grade psychic ability equipment...]

[Obtained a yellow-grade technique, the Life Breath Longevity Technique!]

Of all the acquired techniques, it was the one from the Taylors that truly piqued Ethan's interest.

This technique, while faster than standard psychic cultivation techniques and not as potent as the Sky Secret Manual's technique of converting Qi into essence, possessed a unique advantage: it could slightly extend the lifespan of those who cultivated psychic powers!

Apart from that, there was nothing particularly noteworthy for Blackwood at the moment.

[Congratulations, your family has defeated Horizon Falls Taylor.]

[After days of meticulous planning by your descendant Olivia, in collaboration with Silverwood Moore, they have subdued a family cultivating psychic powers in Horizon Falls Town. They now represent both your families in managing all of Taylor's industries in Horizon Falls Town!]

[Obtained a large amount of mineral resources!]

Ethan quickly opened the map.

On the map of Forest Town, in the northwest direction, the area marked [Horizon Falls Town] was now awash in green!

"Forefather, this is incredible! Half of Horizon Falls Town is now under our control! Silverwood Moore occupies forty percent, and the subdued family occupies ten percent!"

Olivia, seated in the ancestral hall, reported the good news to Ethan.

Despite wearing a primary psychic ability device that could alter the shape of her clothing at will, she still donned the same Confucian robe as before. Though her frail constitution was a thing of the past thanks to the psychic ability device, she still preferred to use a wheelchair, claiming it was a strategic display of weakness to their enemies.

"Elder Brother now possesses one top-grade psychic ability equipment, two high-grade psychic ability equipment, and faces no challenge in the early stages of Emerging Ability!"

"When Second Sister emerges from seclusion, she will be overjoyed. Horizon Falls Town has a medicinal garden, providing us with eight additional types of psychic medicines. Second Sister can finally attempt to concoct the eighth-grade medicine from the 'Thousand Herb Scripture'—the Heavenly Origin Returning Psychic Powder!"

"And Third Brother, we now have access to five new types of mineral materials, as well as the vast reserves accumulated by Horizon Falls Taylor over the years. This is enough to sustain our forging pavilion for a decade or two!"

"We have even gained the loyalty of a ninth-grade pill master!"

Blackwood's power had expanded once more!

With the resources of two towns at their disposal, Blackwood no longer had to worry about supplies for at least twenty years.

Ethan let out a sigh of contentment.

They could even refine pills now. With the addition of the greedy pill master, Blackwood now had two pill masters!

A fruitful year passed in the blink of an eye.

[Blackwood Year 43.]

[Your family has had a productive year, with an abundance of resources awaiting utilization.]

[Your descendant from the Sky Sect, Marcus, has achieved a breakthrough!]

[After five years of solitary contemplation, he has advanced to the seventh level of Foundational Energy, earning the trait: Silent Lone Wolf!]

[Regardless of the circumstances, he maintains an impassive demeanor, like a lone wolf. In battle, his strength increases by 10%, and when cultivating psychic powers alone, his speed increases by 10%.]

Ethan watched as Marcus emerged from his breakthrough, now sporting a beard but more composed than ever. A faint smile touched his lips.

It seemed this young man had matured greatly during his five years of cultivating psychic powers.

"Silent Lone Wolf, is it? I like the sound of that."

Marcus was now twenty-two. With his natural talent, he should have been the pride of Blackwood. But life, in its unpredictable and often cruel way, had other plans for him.

Not only had Marcus faced countless hardships, but he had also endured solitary reflection, lacking any special abilities and reaching the seventh level of Foundational Energy through sheer willpower.

This transformation in Marcus's character, from his previous impulsiveness to a newfound depth of stability and restraint, earned Ethan's admiration.

"Life can break you, but it can also forge you anew," Ethan remarked, bestowing upon Marcus the 'Love of the Forefather' and offering words of encouragement. "May you continue to strive for greatness."

As Marcus stepped out from his cliff-side retreat, he felt a warm current surge through his body. After five long years, he once again felt the Forefather's encouragement!

He knelt on one knee, his reaction no longer as emotionally charged as it had been five years ago. Instead, it was a gesture of quiet respect. "Thank you, Forefather. After five years of reflection, I have come to understand. Perhaps I should never have joined the Sky Sect, but I harbor no regrets."

"Where I stumble, I shall rise again, ascending step by step to the highest peak!"

"I will never disappoint the Forefather or my family!"

With those words, he turned and made his way back towards the Sky Sect, his resolve unwavering.
