My Descendants Are My Power

This area seemed to be the most mystically potent in the entire outer region.

A mystical spring shimmered with star-like motes of energy, clearly something extraordinary.

[Marrow Cleansing Mystical Spring]

[Rank: Sixth]

[Formed from the shattered essence of a Basic Mastery Psychic, their essence infused the spring water, causing it to undergo a mystical transformation over millennia. By cultivating within this mystical spring for eighty-one days, a Psychic can purify their body and enhance their innate potential.

Even Competent Force Psychics can utilize this mystical spring to refine their Psychic Constitution to a higher level. Usable by three individuals.]

Ethan's eyes lit up at the sight of this treasure.

Emerging Ability Psychics had one chance to defy fate and alter their destiny, but the further along one progressed, the more difficult it became to alter their innate potential.

Countless Psychics found themselves limited by their potential, unable to achieve a Single Psychic Constitution or solidify their meridians sufficiently to break through to the Competent Force level from the Pinnacle Apprentice stage.

Even for those who reached the Competent Force level, further refinement of their potential, strengthening their Psychic Constitution, and expanding their meridians could deepen their connection to natural energies, potentially doubling or even tripling their combat prowess!

This mystical spring was truly heaven-defying!

As if that wasn't enough, a large stone stood beside the spring, seemingly suppressing its power.

On either side of the stone bloomed two flowers, their petals resembling flickering flames.

[Phoenix Stone]

[Rank: Sixth]

[Formed from the essence of Heavenly Path Venerable's spirit beast, which perished alongside its master. Their combined essence seeped into this boulder, causing it to undergo a mystical transformation over millennia. It now possesses a faint sentience.

Cultivating near this Phoenix Stone allows one to comprehend the might of the Phoenix, increasing cultivation speed, enhancing comprehension of fire-attribute techniques, and offering a slight chance of improving one's Fire Psychic Constitution. It is also an exceptional material for crafting mystical equipment.]

...

[Twin Phoenix Feather Mystical Herbs]

[Rank: Sixth]

[Mystical herbs formed from the blood of a Phoenix, possessing a faint sentience. Consuming them offers a chance to inherit the Phoenix bloodline, purify one's body, and potentially awaken a Single Fire Psychic Constitution. Consuming them individually yields remarkable effects.]

...

If Amelia and Julian saw these treasures, they'd probably be laughing in their sleep.

However, George and his companions had no intention of taking these treasures for themselves!

Hidden in the shadows, the three were up to something...

[Your descendants, George, William, and Justin, have entered the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary but have chosen not to act immediately.]

[Observing the abundance of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary, William's cunning mind devised a plan. He deduced that the more cautious experts from Sunshine Mansion would likely wait three days before leaving with their spoils. Moreover, these experts would likely travel alone. Thus, they decided to lay in wait at the Sanctuary's exit for three days.

George successfully ambushed and killed two Competent Force Psychics.]

[Spoils of war obtained—]

[One Competent Force Psychic corpse, 18 Competent Force Psychic fragments.]

[Sixth-rank Marrow Cleansing Mystical Spring, Sixth-rank Phoenix Stone, Sixth-rank Twin Phoenix Feather Mystical Herbs. Various seventh and eighth-rank mystical treasures, two sets of Competent Force Psychic possessions...]

"As expected of you three."

Ethan wiped the sweat from his brow as he watched the trio settle into their ambush position.

His gaze lingered on William, the one on the far left.

Those eighteen fragments... they were all from him.

Such a waste.

William's intellect was on par with Daniel and Joseph's, but he never used it for anything good.

Decades spent with Olivia had only sharpened his cunning, though he lacked her broader vision.

When it came to "street smarts," even Olivia couldn't hold a candle to him.

Justin began to fidget.

"William, why are we stuck here? This is just the outer area, full of small fry. Let's go deeper inside, where the real action is! I need to test myself against Competent Force Psychics to feel truly alive!"

"That's where you're wrong, my friend."

William licked his lips.

"What's the fun in a fair fight? It's all about the thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of crushing your enemies like ants. Just watch. Those greedy fools from Sunshine Mansion who haven't left after seven days? They'll be loaded with loot. Don't underestimate the outer region.

We've already spotted plenty of valuable seventh and eighth-rank materials along the way!"

"Once we set these three treasures out as bait, those greedy bastards won't be able to resist. We'll just sit back, relax, and claim at least half the resources in the entire outer region of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary!"

Ethan shuddered.

He was glad to be a Blackwood Forebearer.

If he had been unfortunate enough to be reborn into this world and caught up in the chaos of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary... well, whether he played it safe or went all out, he'd likely end up dead at William's hands.

"Patience, Justin. There's no need to rush into the inner region."

George rubbed his hands together excitedly, holding back the eager Justin.

"We just need to lay low for a month, and we'll be swimming in riches. Then, we'll head to the middle region. Remember Crimson Gate Syndicate? They spent twenty years guarding that place and got nowhere. This is way faster!"

"We'll be rich soon enough. Then we'll see who dares to call my tomb raiding a waste of time!"

Justin finally relented.

While he relished the thrill of a near-death experience, the promise of wealth was a close second.

It wasn't long before the trio tensed, their senses on high alert.

A group was approaching.

George's expression hardened.

Leading the group was a young prodigy, no older than fifty, yet already at the Transcendent Seed level, rivaling George in his prime.

Beside him walked an elder, his aura radiating the peak of Developing Skill!

Their eyes were filled with greed as they gazed upon the three treasures before them, praising their good fortune.

George gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the elder.

"The audacity! A Developing Skill expert stooping to scavenging in the outer region."

Justin snorted.

"The sight of that old geezer makes me sick."

"He has to die. I despise treacherous scum like him!"

In a flash, George's body was engulfed in a surge of power as over twenty ancestral spirits possessed him, pushing his cultivation to the peak of Competent Force.

William and Justin, their bodies radiating the power of nascent deities, emerged from the shadows.

[Your descendants, George, Justin, and William, have successfully lured in greedy Psychics using valuable treasures as bait, earning the trait: Trapper.]
