My Descendants Are My Power

"Whoosh!"

A streak of pink light tore through the air, too swift for the naked eye to follow.

Only a faint pink arc and a trail of pulverized stone marked its path, the raw power of its mystical energy warping the very fabric of space.

The pink arrow's trajectory intersected with a shimmering pink formation hanging in mid-air.

At the formation's heart, a pink star rested atop a seven-colored lotus, its petals both vibrant and strangely menacing.

The lotus pulsed with an overwhelming power, seemingly capable of suppressing all before it, holding the Psychic in the arrow's path utterly immobile.

"Thud!"

A soft sound, a gasp of surprise, and a spray of crimson.

The arrow pierced the Psychic's throat, leaving them wide-eyed and lifeless.

The attacker, a young woman, lowered her Sparkly Unicorn Bow with a dissatisfied frown.

She turned to the young man seated in a wheelchair beside her.

"Brother, is this truly the most powerful Rising Star Heavenly Justice Hall could locate in Sunshine Mansion over the past century? A hundred and twenty years old, Developing Skill mid-stage, possessing a Super Core... and that's all?"

"A disciple of Twilight Edge Assembly," the young man mused, examining the storage ring he'd taken from the dead Psychic.

"Their sect favors alchemy and medicine over true combat prowess, yet they crave recognition. It seems those lacking in one area often overcompensate in others. This 'once-in-a-millennium' Rising Star from Twilight Edge Assembly is nothing more than a product of pill-popping. Even that Earth-grade technique of theirs, who knows where they acquired it, is poorly mastered. His foundation is weak."

He smiled faintly at his companion.

"Katie, you may have defeated him, but don't let it go to your head. You possess the Heavenly Pure Land Psychic Constitution, a step above even those born with Heavenly Bestowed Psychic Constitutions. You've cultivated the 'Azure Cloud Undying Scripture' since childhood and have the protection of both the Rainbow Lotus and Great Grandfather Marcus's Astral Blessing."

"You may only be at the early stage of Developing Skill, but you possess a Super Core just like him. To struggle so much against such an inadequately trained opponent... you need to dedicate more time to cultivating your mystical energy."

This duo was none other than Joseph and Katie.

[Your descendants, Joseph and Katie, have spent half a month traveling with their group, encountering few noteworthy Rising Stars in the outer region.]

[Hearing rumors of a location in the outer region containing three sixth-rank mystical treasures, they rushed to claim them. However, instead of treasures, they encountered George, William, and Justin. A tense standoff ensued, nearly leading to their capture by the older generation...]

[Forced to retreat to the middle region of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary, your descendant Joseph was shaken to his core, realizing he had underestimated the cunning of others. He was grateful that the ambushers were his elders; otherwise, he might have met his end. This experience instilled in him a newfound sense of caution. Trait gained: Cautious and Prudent.]

[Once bitten, twice shy. From now on, he will carefully consider the risks before pursuing any opportunity, no matter how tempting. Caution +100%.]

"..."

Ethan was speechless as he read the description of the trait.

He vividly remembered the scene.

Just as Joseph and Katie were about to claim the treasures, George and his companions had sprung their trap.

George, despite possessing the power of a peak Competent Force expert, had chosen a surprisingly theatrical approach.

William had surrounded them with hundreds of pieces of Psychic Gear, ready to self-detonate at a moment's notice.

Justin had unleashed a dozen ability weapons, sealing off their escape.

And George... well, he had almost unleashed his ultimate move.

Ethan knew Joseph well.

He was usually calm and collected, unfazed by any challenge.

But that day, he had been genuinely terrified.

As for Katie... George's overwhelming aura had simply knocked her unconscious.

Now, Joseph and Katie made no mention of their embarrassing encounter in the outer region.

They had ventured into the middle region, hunting down Sunshine Mansion's Rising Stars with ruthless efficiency.

"The elders are truly formidable," Katie said, securing her bow on her back.

Despite her victory, the battle had taken its toll.

Her hair was disheveled, and she was still catching her breath.

"Don't worry, brother. I won't underestimate any opponent, especially not the elders."

She glanced at the corpse at her feet, her expression hardening.

"As for them... they're nothing to me."

[Your descendant, Katie, has been unable to find any worthy opponents under a hundred years old. She has now set her sights on the middle region, where she has spent several days hunting down Rising Stars from Sunshine Mansion who have come to the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary seeking opportunities. She has defeated a total of ten Rising Stars. Trait gained: Sunshine Prodigy Slayer.]

[She is now virtually unrivaled among those under a hundred years old in Sunshine Mansion. Only facing older and more experienced Psychics can ignite her fighting spirit. Combat prowess increased by 10% when facing older opponents.]

"Let's go, Katie," Joseph said, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Sunshine Mansion may have been suppressing our Azure Cloud Psychics for years, but they never expected us Blackwoods to infiltrate their ranks so thoroughly. The Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary has drawn in a significant portion of their talented youth. The elders may have decimated our generation years ago, but now it's our turn to return the favor."

"Yes!" Katie's eyes gleamed with determination.

With her brother by her side, she feared nothing.

A message from Heavenly Justice Hall arrived, pinpointing the location of another Rising Star.

She pushed Joseph's wheelchair forward, eager to continue their hunt.

Ethan watched as they efficiently disposed of the body and erased all traces of their presence.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

Some traditions, it seemed, were passed down through generations.

"So that's your goal... to cripple Sunshine Mansion's next generation."

Ethan raised an eyebrow.

"These Rising Stars... they won't be easy targets."

He glanced back at the system interface.

This plan... it had been set in motion long ago.

[Your descendant, Joseph, is acutely aware of Sunshine Mansion's long-standing oppression of his family. As part of a millennium-long plan, Blackwood agents have been infiltrating Sunshine Mansion's major sects for generations, aiming to rise to positions of power.

To facilitate this plan, Joseph has been secretly ordering Heavenly Justice Hall to gather intelligence on all potential threats to Blackwood, particularly talented individuals who cannot be swayed to their side. These individuals are then marked for elimination.]

[Trait gained: Rising Star Elimination Master.]

[Any rising star who attracts attention will inevitably appear on Joseph's radar, becoming a target for elimination. He can perceive their strengths and weaknesses with uncanny accuracy. Each rising star eliminated grants a small increase to the family's fortune and subtly enhances his comprehension of the world.]

Ethan shuddered.

If he and Joseph had been born in the same era and found themselves on opposing sides... well, he wouldn't bet on surviving for long.
