My Descendants Are My Power

Ethan met with his descendants.

Their strength, the source of everything, was scattered.

They were miles apart, each facing their own troubles.

Nathan and Julian, for example, were caught in situations so dire that even escaping seemed impossible.

The family members trapped within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary couldn't even leave, terrified that the Heavenly Path Venerable would hunt them down if they did.

And then there was Daniel...

"Daniel, what is your situation?" As Nathan turned to Daniel, all eyes followed.

Daniel had entered disguised as Bryce, almost making them think the Forebearer had somehow left Bryce behind...

"My child..." Daniel hesitated, shaking his head at his kin.

Seeing his struggle to speak, they didn't press him further. Find more chapters on empire

After all, who hadn't endured their own share of unspeakable hardships in the past five years?

"Forebearer." Olivia bowed to Ethan.

"I have something to say, if I may."

Ethan raised an eyebrow.

"Speak freely."

"Yes, Forebearer." Olivia took a deep breath.

"I believe the old ways of our family no longer serve us."

Frowns rippled through the assembly.

Olivia continued, "We established ourselves in Cloudview County, but it became our cage. We have too many attachments there, entangling us with the Heavenly Path Venerable."

"That is our home. We have many ways to protect it, even as we transcend worldly concerns. But we have sacrificed too much for Cloudview County, more than we can bear."

Ethan's heart trembled.

His kin felt the same.

Indeed, for two hundred years, they hadn't ventured beyond Cloudview County, beyond Glory City.

It restricted their actions, holding them back.

They couldn't explore further because they were tethered to their home.

As their power grew, they believed Cloudview County was the safest place.

But it wasn't.

It had become a constraint, and a single disaster could shatter everything.

They had escaped this time, but what about the next?

"If we are strong enough, no matter how the world changes, Azure Cloud will always be Azure Cloud. If we wish, Sunshine Mansion can be called Azure Cloud, and so can Emerald Empire."

"Therefore, I propose that our family transcends worldly affairs, undisturbed by external forces. This is the true path of immortality."

To be above it all, watching the clouds drift by!

"It is feasible." Ethan nodded at Olivia, his voice grave.

"Now that we are scattered, the people of Azure Cloud believe us dead. We can blend into the world. But we still share a common enemy, and you each face your own challenges. Help each other, resolve your individual problems, and then we will speak of other matters."

"Yes, Forebearer!"

They shared their current predicaments: Edward, trapped in Sunshine Mansion; Nathan's Death Coffin, needing retrieval; Glory City, needing reawakening; and the descendants trapped in the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary, needing rescue.

All of this would take time.

This time, they wouldn't act rashly.

They would wait until they were strong enough to confront the Heavenly Path Venerable directly.

[Your descendants, after careful deliberation, decide to gradually disappear from the world, taking a measured approach to free your people from their predicaments. The family trait 'Azure Cloud War Clan' transforms into 'Transcendent Immortal Clan'.]

[You begin to comprehend the true way of the Immortal Clan, increasing your cultivating psychic powers speed by 5% and your comprehension by 5%.]

This was the survival strategy of powerful sects and families, like Julian's Radiant Sky Grotto and Mary's Crystal Crest.

With their discussion concluded, they began to leave the space one by one, starting their cultivating psychic powers in their respective locations.

Now, they were filled with purpose.

They had a goal.

Ethan sighed in relief.

Although his children's situations remained perilous, he saw the emergence of a stronger Blackwood family.

A message appeared before him: [Your descendants, Adam and Alexander, are paying their respects. They have learned of their heritage and the family's plight and wish to contribute!]

"Did Helen choose to return to the family after all?"

Ethan instantly appeared in the Forebearer Ancestral Hall in the small fishing village.

Helen was leading Adam and Alexander in kneeling before the Forebearer Psychic Position.

She must have told them the story of the Blackwood family, for their eyes were wide with astonishment.

They couldn't believe that they, born in this humble village, belonged to such a powerful lineage.

Looking at the two children and Helen, Ethan shook his head.

He let the Psychic Position emit a gentle light, a silent blessing for them to live their lives in peace.

The enemy they faced was too formidable.

It was better for this family to continue their peaceful existence.

...

Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.

Only Marcus had journeyed to the soul space this time.

As he opened his eyes, the others gathered around him eagerly.

"Uncle, how is everyone? Is the family alright?"

"What about Father? Is he safe?"

"What did the Forebearer say?"

Questions bombarded him from all sides.

They had heard about the tragedy that had befallen their family five years ago.

If they could leave the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary, they would have returned home long ago.

Marcus surveyed them, his expression grim.

He recounted the situation of their kin, but when his gaze fell upon Joseph and Katie, he shook his head.

"Joseph, Katie, I won't lie to you. Your father is trapped in Sunshine Mansion, but he is alive for now."

"Damn it!" Katie exploded.

Joseph pulled at her sleeve, trying to calm her down.

"We are trapped in the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary. Anger is useless. We are nothing but fish on the Heavenly Path Venerable's chopping block."

His words silenced the Blackwood descendants.

The bronze mirror still showed Neil's image.

After five years, he had united a thousand Psychics and controlled a part of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.

But the Blackwood descendants had no desire to confront him now.

They didn't even know the true nature of this place.

The Heavenly Path Venerable seemed aware of their every move within the sanctuary but hadn't acted against them.

This was a mystery that even Elder Phil from Crystal Crest couldn't solve.

"What should we do then? Our family is rebuilding, and we can't just sit here idly!" Thomas, never one for patience, exclaimed.

Jessica pondered for a moment.

"Uncle's strength is growing, and he has absorbed all the psychic artifacts into the Sky Hall over the past five years. We could try to take over another faction secretly. "

"The Unquestioning Scholar from the Bright Light Institute seems like a good target. He ambushed Kyle recently and should be quite wealthy. This way, we can also focus on breaking through and increasing our strength. When our family comes to rescue us, we'll be ready to fight the Heavenly Path Venerable."

"Alright!"
