My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Forebearer's Wisdom



In the midst of a great war between two sects, the future was uncertain for everyone.

Ethan, however, knew clearly that if he wanted Blackwood to survive and even profit from this potential century-long disaster, strength was paramount. Without it, what right did Blackwood have to speak of anything else?

But the sharp blade of adversity is also a catalyst for progress.

[In the news of the war between the two sects, your descendants sensed the unknown dangers. To ensure the family's survival through this disaster, they began to cherish every moment to strengthen their family's power.]

[Your family gains the trait: Steadfast Progress]

[Until the crisis ends, your family members' speed in cultivating psychic powers increases by 10%, their insight increases by 10%, making it easier to seize opportunities to develop the family. The current generation will remember this crisis and permanently enhance the 'Steadfast Progress' trait by 10%.]

BUFF!

Ethan's tense mood began to ease. After resolving the troubles in Forest Town, the revenge BUFF had already disappeared, and now Blackwood had gained a collective trait once again.

"Indeed, no matter the challenge, opportunities coexist with it, don't they?" Ethan mused.

He suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Right, if I don't view this as a danger but as an opportunity, everything changes!" Ethan then focused intently on the screen.

Indeed, the war between the two sects could plunge Blackwood into unpredictable peril.

But as Olivia had said before, in such circumstances, the two major sects were busy fighting each other, leaving them no time to attend to other matters. It was for this reason that some forces or individuals could fish in troubled waters and seize advantages.

Then...

Why should Blackwood wait to be exploited by others instead of becoming the hunter themselves?

"My thoughts just cleared up all of a sudden."

Ethan was about to summon his descendants via the Purple Thunder Solar Python to discuss his realization.

Just as he clicked on the icon of the Purple Thunder Solar Python, he paused.

His descendants had entered the Forebearer's shrine.

As usual, after their bows, Nathan, with a joyful expression, said, "Forebearer, today Daniel emerged from cultivating psychic powers in the Death Coffin. He said he had been constantly attacked by zombies on the first level, but after he took the initiative, the path to the end of the first level became much easier."

"So he asked me, why can't our Blackwood take the initiative in the disaster of the war between the two sects?"

"Forebearer, I don't know if this foolish child's words are right or not, please enlighten us!"

"..."

Ethan's smile gradually faded, and he stared numbly at Daniel in the game screen—the guy with innocent eyes that seemed to scream 'I'm a fool, come deceive me!'

He was motionless for a long time.

Nathan in the screen also didn't receive any response from Ethan, which made him almost urge, 'Forebearer, please speak.'

"I ended up thinking the same as Daniel, who's always being deceived in the family?"

Ethan clenched his teeth and clicked on the Purple Thunder Solar Python's icon.

[Good.]

After entering the text, the people of Blackwood received the response from the Purple Thunder Solar Python and burst into joy.

"Forebearer agrees, haha!"

"I told you Daniel isn't stupid; he can also think of useful methods."

"Follow me, grandson."

Ethan clenched his teeth, gripping the flesh of his thigh tightly.

Stay calm!

Absolutely must stay calm, no smashing the keyboard!

Then, looking at the time flow speed on the screen, Ethan felt relieved.

"It's okay, why should I doubt myself? Days have passed in the game, and I figured it out quickly."

"Yes, that's right, my descendants can think like me, I should be happy, it shows he has grown up."

"I need to smile!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The phone rang, and Ethan answered it, immediately hearing Alan's joyful voice, "Mr. Ethan, I've sold the goods, made a big profit..."

"Alan, do you think I look like a fool?"

"Ah? Why would you suddenly ask that?" Alan's voice faltered, then he said solemnly, "I know I had a bad reputation before, but Mr. Ethan, rest assured, I swear on my life that from the time I started working with Mr. Ethan, I will never take kickbacks."

"Hahaha."

Ethan finally showed a smile, "Talking to a smart person is just simple."

After hanging up the phone, Ethan finally felt at ease.

...

[During the chaos in Forest Town, the Blackwood family, led by Nathan and his wife, decided to secretly eliminate the Lightning Legion. They borrowed a psychic beast, the Wind Shadow Psychic Bird, from the Silver Iron Forest for this mission.]

Ethan, while sipping on his drink, paid close attention to this special operation. As he delved deeper into the game, he understood that each special operation had its specific reasons—either a significant threat to Blackwood or an opportunity to gain benefits.

Although Ethan was always focused on the growth of Blackwood's power, he was aware of the details of this mission.

The Lightning Legion, located within Forest County's Listening Wind Town, had its strongest member only at the mid-stage of Emerging Ability.

This small sect, supported solely by Emerging Ability, was relatively weak. However, to eliminate the Lightning Legion, Blackwood had prepared for two months and even utilized the connections of the Forest Rodriguez family.

The reason was that the Lightning Legion was loyal to the Xuanwu Gate, and without thorough preparation and avoiding the eyes and ears of the Xuanwu Gate, Blackwood could face significant troubles.

The ultimate goal was to obtain the superior psychic equipment within the martial arts hall—the [Performance Psychic Pearl].

[Emerging Ability practitioners could engrave techniques on the Psychic Pearl, which others could use to cultivate psychic powers.]

While this item might seem ordinary, Blackwood went to great lengths because they learned that after decades of experiments, placing the Performance Psychic Pearls in a building similar to the Gratitude Village training room could further accelerate the speed of cultivating psychic powers in the training room!

By now, Blackwood had already started dismantling those ten training rooms and was combining them into one large training room, preparing to place the Performance Psychic Pearl under the dome.

Soon, under the cover of a deep night, Nathan and his wife, along with the psychic beast, headed towards the small mountain outside Listening Wind Town where the Lightning Legion was located. In the ancient building complex, the intent to kill surged instantly!

Luna, holding a primary psychic device and already capable of battling the peak of Emerging Ability, together with the peak Emerging Ability-level Wind Shadow Psychic Bird, which was as elusive as a sparrow, found no match in this small sect.

The Lightning Legion had only a mid-Emerging Ability stage leader and two early Emerging Ability stage elders.

The couple from Blackwood, along with their psychic beast, clearly knew exactly where to go and whom to kill. It was a night perfect for a swift and decisive action.

Ethan intended to switch the screen to check on other descendants, but his hand paused on the mouse.
