My Descendants Are My Power

"The only way to kill a terrifying opponent like Heavenly Path Venerable is to become even more terrifying than him." Ethan let out a long breath and slowly sat up.

He admitted that after their last encounter, which had cost Heavenly Path Venerable dearly, they had also awakened a true monster.

Now, he had no idea what the monster's next move would be.

Fortunately, he and his people were fully prepared.

As he pondered, a message appeared: [Your descendant, Julian, is cultivating his psychic abilities in Radiant Sky Grotto and is ready to break through to the Competent Force level!]

"Julian is about to break through?" Ethan's eyes lit up, and he vanished in an instant, reappearing within Radiant Sky Grotto.

The last time he was here, Julian had blown the grotto to smithereens.

Two years had passed, and it was still under repair.

Meanwhile, the culprit, who had once only been able to do odd jobs in Radiant Sky Grotto, had now set up a large courtyard in the back mountain.

In front of the courtyard stood a tree.

This was a secret realm created by Ancestor Reid within this blessed land, where Ancestor Reid was currently cultivating his psychic abilities.

Within the courtyard were many familiar faces, the same people who had fought alongside Ethan against Heavenly Path Venerable's projections at Amber Hill.

After Julian became Ancestor Reid's closed-door disciple, Radiant Sky Grotto naturally became their base of operations.

Even Benjamin had come here to seek refuge, bringing with him everything Forebearer had plundered.

When Julian had told Ancestor Reid about Heavenly Path Venerable and asked if he was afraid of this monstrous anomaly, Ancestor Reid had simply rolled his eyes...

"Great-Grandpa, are you about to break through?" Sensing Julian's aura, Donna barged into Julian's forging room.

Their original purpose in coming here was to rescue Julian.

But life was full of twists and turns.

Who could have predicted that the accident during Chuck's breakthrough would lead to such a battle with Heavenly Path Venerable's projections?

And who could have imagined that Julian, once so reckless, would learn to plan every step of the way?

"Yes, I'm about to break through." Julian's appearance was still the same.

Apart from his eyebrows and body hair, he was completely bald.

However, he was much calmer than his usual boisterous self, finally displaying the demeanor of an elder.

"Congratulations, Great-Grandpa!" Donna was overjoyed.

She presented Julian with all the spoils of war from the Amber Hill battlefield and what Benjamin had brought from Sunshine Mansion.

"Great-Grandpa, see if there's anything here you can use."

At that moment, within the Forebearer space, Blackwood descendants from all over the world gathered in spirit, watching Julian's every move through the images Olivia projected using her psychic powers.

However, this kind of psychic projection could only be maintained for two to three days each year.

As Julian opened his Storage Ring, the Blackwood descendants practically drooled.

They had been too well-behaved in recent years.

Amelia was wealthy, but all she had was medicine...

Ethan also looked at the items inside.

They were, after all, spoils of war obtained from Heavenly Path Venerable's projections and the treasures from the Kylin Mountain branch of the Roberts family, one of the seven great families of Sunshine Mansion.

There were quite a few treasures.

There were also many things that particularly caught Ethan's eye.

The most important of these was the 'Kylin Heavenly Crystal' that had appeared in Kylin Mountain that day!

[Fifth-grade treasure: Kylin Heavenly Crystal]

[Made from the special material 'Eternal Crystal,' it contains the corpse and bound remnant soul of a Kylin.]

[The Kylin remnant soul can be summoned and possesses the peak strength of the Competent Force level. As long as the crystal remains intact, the remnant soul will not be destroyed. The corpse within is preserved by the crystal and can absorb the world's energy to create 'Kylin Essence Blood' once every five years.]

It was indeed a fifth-grade treasure!

When the Kylin phantom had appeared, it had suppressed even the Lord of Frenzied Blood.

The creature's true combat power could even be ranked on the Pinnacle Apprentice list.

Unfortunately, the Kylin remnant soul felt a strong sense of loyalty to the Roberts family and had been playing dead ever since it fell into the hands of the Blackwoods.

However, simply summoning the Kylin phantom did not make it worthy of being a fifth-grade treasure.

Its true value lay in its essence blood!

[Kylin Essence Blood]

[Those who absorb Kylin Essence Blood will gain varying Kylin characteristics. Only one drop can be absorbed in a lifetime.]

In the past two years, the Kylin Heavenly Crystal had produced one drop of essence blood.

As the junior, Benjamin naturally got the first taste.

[Your descendant, Benjamin, has consumed a drop of Kylin Essence Blood and gained the trait: Kylin Arm]

[By focusing his essence blood power, his right arm can possess the strength of a top-grade Psychic Gear. As his strength increases, his right arm can eventually possess the strength of a top-grade ability weapon.]

"Every five years, each member of the family gets a drop of blood. No wonder the Kylin Mountain branch could become one of the seven great families." Ethan smiled faintly and then looked at the other spoils of war.

[high-level ability weapon: Frostgold Bell Mirror]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[The wielder of this mirror can summon frost to kill enemies within a hundred miles and control the power of frost. In times of danger, the mirror can transform into a golden bell for protection.]

A high-level ability weapon!

The Blackwoods had been longing for something like this for who knew how long.

Ethan's Celestial Pole Energy Spear was powerful enough, but it was purely an offensive weapon.

This Frostgold Bell Mirror, on the other hand, allowed the user to control psychic powers and protect themselves.

It could be used for both offense and defense.

This high-level ability weapon was seized from Heavenly Path Venerable's Basic Mastery projection, Hudson, by Bill Daoist and Chuck.

Bill Daoist already had a high-level ability weapon, and this one didn't suit him, so he gave it to Chuck.

Chuck... that arrogant fellow said that his physical body was comparable to a lower-grade high-level ability weapon, so this thing was useless to him, and he gave it to Donna.

However, Ethan guessed that Chuck saw how much effort the Blackwoods were putting in during his breakthrough and decided to give it to them.

Besides these, there were many other treasures, all below the fifth grade.

They would be distributed to the family members during the next grand ceremony. Continue your journey on empire

However, looking at the many treasures in the Storage Ring, Julian didn't want any of them.

He simply bowed towards the ancient tree outside the courtyard.

"Master, your disciple is about to face the thunder tribulation. Please keep an eye out and don't let your precious disciple get ambushed."

"..."

The ancient tree shook, and Ancestor Reid, who was inside, remained silent.

The old man's phantom face twitched slightly, as if he wasn't quite used to his disciple's shamelessness.

Before long, Julian walked out of Radiant Sky Grotto with his head held high, not taking a single item with him, not even a hair.

This display of confidence made the Blackwoods frown.

Donna wanted to ask Forebearer, but seeing that Ancestor Reid was closer in the ancient tree, she didn't want to bother him with such a trivial matter.

She bowed and asked, "Senior, what kind of thunder tribulation is my Great-Grandpa facing?"

Ethan and Ancestor Reid, who was inside the ancient tree, both smiled.

"The ninety-nine thunder tribulation."
