My Descendants Are My Power

[From communicating with these lingering spirits, it was learned that Azure Cloud Pavilion had a legacy.

Those nearing the d of the Compett phase would ter deep into the Azure Cloud Pavilion's tomb to practice the Six R Divine Calculation, shielded by the ancit Azure Cloud Pavilion formations from heavly secrets, allowing their spirits to escape reincarnation, waiting for a descdant to ascd and extd the lifespan of their ancestors.]

[Upon learning of the currt state of Azure Cloud Pavilion and the great trouble it now faced, the ancestors decided to break and th rebuild Azure Cloud Pavilion, taking George as their disciple.]

[With the help of the old predecessors in cultivating psychic powers, George cleansed his other Psychic Constitutions, retaining only the Single Wind Psychic Constitution, breaking through to the mid-stage of Emerging Ability, nearing the peak of Emerging Ability! He gained the trait—Son of Azure Cloud.]

[With many old predecessors guiding him, his speed in cultivating psychic powers increased, as did his opportunities.]

"..."

Ethan stood agape.

They say ignorance is bliss, and after years of fruitless tomb raiding, George finally unearthed twty-three old m...

Especially wh looking at George's information panel.

A technique caught Ethan's eye, the Earth-level technique "Azure Cloud Unfall," a coveted skill ev among those in the Compett phase!

As for the Six R Divine Calculation of Azure Cloud Pavilion, that was truly the authtic teaching of Azure Cloud, though for some reason, these old timers hadn't passed it on to George.

Ev so, it was a great opportunity, whether it was Sky Sect or the Xuanwu Gate, those cultivating psychic powers only had techniques of the Xuan level.

It seemed Azure Cloud had it, but rumors said only the sect leader's lineage could cultivate psychic powers, and after Steph fled, he became a target for capture, because he took the Azure Cloud Pavilion's ancestral Earth-level technique with him!

"Our Blackwood can finally cultivate Earth-level techniques, we've won at the transfer station."

Ethan noted down this technique, planning to distribute it to everyone in Blackwood during the grand ceremony.

He also arranged George's next mission, but with these ancit relics a, Ethan increased the difficulty of the task.

Suddly, George felt the Cards in his pocket stir!

"After so many years of tomb raiding, the Forebearer is finally showing its powers!"

George hurriedly invited the old m back into his body, eagerly bowing to the rising Forebearer Cards, "Forebearer, your child has truly unearthed their ancestors, souls and all."

"Your child has avged Grandpa Pete!"

"Now that the predecessors have officially made your child the legitimate head of Azure Cloud Pavilion, all we have to do is drive everyone out of Azure Cloud Pavilion, and it will be ours!"

"..."

Ethan was speechless, feeling like the poor kid had be played. If they wiped out everyone from Azure Cloud Pavilion, what was the point of sealing those twty-three old geezers?

But Ethan did glean some intel—that the twty-three old monsters were likely in a state of lingering souls, unable to take action themselves. Their main utility was aiding George in cultivating psychic powers.

There was a silver lining, though. Blackwood had snagged a technique, "Azure Cloud Unfall," for free.

Ethan didn't dwell on these thoughts for long and quickly boosted George with a new skill set.

Using the Forebearer Cards, he issued a command—

[At the foot of Azure Cloud Mountain, in front of the mundane Azure Cloud Martial Hall, Ancestral Communion!]

Seeing the words appear mid-air, George quickly bowed. Over the years, their descdants occasionally received tasks, and he had learned some family news from the Forebearer's Cards.

He knew that wh a task arrived, it was time for family members to shed blood!

And this time...

The Tribute Offering that the Forebearer demanded was the blood of Cloudview County, just like the red snow that had once fall over Blackwood, only now the blood was to stain the earth.

"My child understands!"

George bowed deeply, tucking the Cards into his chest, and headed down towards Azure Cloud Mountain.

Meanwhile, descdants of Blackwood across Cloudview County also received their orders.

They all paused in their activities, looking at the Forebearer Cards before them.

Th, without hesitation, they accepted the orders.

Heading to specific locations.

They all knew this was a mad bloodbath, ev more brutal than the Lopez Purge sev years ago. Because this time, they wer't just fighting Lopez—they were up against the tire Cloudview County!

On this day, as snow blanketed all of Cloudview County, Blackwood folks instinctively placed their Forebearer Cards at their doorsteps, staring down their opponts across the way...

...

[Valley of Healers]

It was a valley filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, where ev in the harsh winter, the heavy snow couldn't petrate the magical barrier protecting the Valley of Healers.

Supernatural ergies lingered in the air, and from miles away, one could smell the medicinal scts wafting from within.

In this beautiful valley, so out of place in the snowy winter, a powerful protective array had be activated.

Because outside... a group of odd folks had appeared, nonchalantly setting up an altar in front of the Valley of Healers, placing a large bronze furnace there—it was a ritual for Ancestral Communion!

The pharmacists and alchemists of the Valley of Healers gathered, many taking to the skies on their swords. This force, dedicated to aiding the world, was ev more formidable than the Rodriguez family that Blackwood had once faced. Yet, ev so, they watched the overwhelming dark ergies outside and the swords soaring into the sky with great apprehsion.

Suddly, a path was cleared through the crowd of the Valley of Healers.

The valley's leader was an extremely beautiful woman, dressed in a long gown, ethereal as a fairy, known in the martial world as the Miraculous Medic. Behind her were Elder Felix from the Sky Sect, and Elizabeth!

Something had happed to Elizabeth—her hair had turned half , yet her face remained unchanged.

And there was something unusual—

She was pregnant!
