ckwood was jubnt.
But now, Cloudview County was far from peaceful.
[Special Event—The Fall of Renowned Sect and the Beast Tribe]
[In Cloudview County, the major sects and druids never ceased their skirmishes, constantly testing and deceiving each other. In a major battle, the Beast Tribe deceived the Renowned Sect. Countless sect disciples, led by their elders, sacrificed themselves using a blood ritual to fight the druids, ultimately perishing alongside the entire Beast Tribe.]
On the map.
A green marked location, and the red dots rushing into it, vanished before Ethan''s eyes at a visible speed.
Thest scene he saw was a sky filled with beasts storming into the Renowned Sect, the disciples'' spirits and blood withered, none retreating.
The explosion was even more shocking than the mushroom cloud Ethan had seen before.
"Boom!"
The sound reached ckwood, the ground trembling.
George and William, who had been holding Joseph''s arms, let go; Joseph had no intention of fleeing.
Everyone in ckwood stepped out of the courtyard, looking towards the direction of the Renowned Sect.
"Olivia, did the Renowned Sect call for help?"
Nathan asked gravely.
Olivia took out a copper mirror, her eyes shining with a white light, then sighed and shook her head, "No call for help. The nearest master of Competent Force wanted to help, but was stopped. He only managed to save thest hundred disciples of the Renowned Sect, who are the future hope of the sect."
"Senior Warren said that until thest moment, the Renowned Sect didn''t call for help because they sensed something was off. The area outside the Renowned Sect was a trap, and they had to face it alone. They feared that calling for help would prompt a reckless response from the other powers."
"The rescued disciples of the Renowned Sect said that thest words of their elder were..."
"If the Renowned Sect is gone, they still have their legacy. If Cloudview County is gone, the Renowned Sect would be the sinners of their homnd."
That day, the people of ckwood emerged from their joyful reunion.
To be honest, hearing that the Renowned Sect and the Beast Tribe had annihted each other, Ethan and his kin felt nothing but heaviness.
Then, as Ethan followed Nathan, he truly learned a lesson.
Nathan, holding Luna,y down in a coffin.
In the dim space, Nathan sighed, "My dear, if it were us in ckwood, we''d definitely be calling for help everywhere. They''re different from us; we''ve only lived here for a little over a hundred years, at most just wanting to protect our ownnd."
"They''re different; they''ve been here for over a hundred thousand years, the whole of Cloudview County bears their mark. Just like we would do anything for our family, they would sacrifice their lives for the future of Cloudview County."
Hearing this.
Ethan remained silent for a long time, then mmed his fist on the table.
"Screw you, Michael!"
In the past, he really thought that Duke''s Mansion couldn''t control the major powers, and that''s why Michael wanted to destroy them.
Now he understood, it was all nonsense!
The rulers, for their own gain, think thend they control is everything, that they can manipte it at will, even believing that the people living on thisnd are all against them.
Little do they know, the citizens of Cloudview County love thisnd more than the so-called rulers; they are fearless and shed their blood for it.
Michael, still manipting everything from behind, just watching the world evolve.
They alwayse out unscathed, reaping the fruits of final victory.
Even if they lose, it doesn''t hurt them.
Just like now, without the druids attacking Duke''s Mansion, their biggest problem is just dealing with the refugees that Olivia and Azure Cloud Pavilion''s Jason deliberately handed over to Duke''s Mansion.
Ethan didn''t know what kind of sect the Renowned Sect was, and ckwood didn''t have much contact with them.
But at least... it''s something that Ethan, and countless citizens of Cloudview County, deeply respect.
"Damn it, Michael, remember, what goes aroundes around!"
...
[ckwood Year 127]
The people of ckwood kept the events involving the Renowned Sect close to their hearts, yet they appeared carefree, as if trying to make up for the time they had spent wandering away from their families.
However, whenever they had a moment, they were still dedicated to cultivating psychic powers, often visiting the Death Coffin.
Nathan had no choice but to move to the third floor with Luna to give the elderly couple some peace from the children''s disturbances.
On this day,
everyone broke through their limits.
[Congrattions, Betty has added a new member to the family, named Katie!]
"Hahaha, Forebearer, after so many years, our family has a child again."
"Huh?"
Seeing Nathan holding the loudly crying baby girl, Ethan was stunned.
This little girl was extraordinary!
[Your descendant Katie, from birth, has been the center of attention. The elders of ckwood, fearing any mishaps with a child born after many years, took great care. Amelia used medicinal meals and consumed seventh-grade potions during Betty''s pregnancy to nourish her. Olivia used the naturalws of the universe to cleanse Katie''s marrow and strengthen her bones.
Marcus removed a corner of the stars from the ''Sky Temple'' and bestowed it upon her...]
[Daniel found a seventh-grade elixir to nourish her. George consulted four female ancestors, who imbued Katie with their spirits to aid her growth. William took a special ability item ''Rainbow Lotus'' from a genius and gifted it to her...]
[Your descendant Katie has acquired traits—pure ability body, immense strength, star-protected body, and the body of the Lotus.]
[Psychic Constitution of the Earth]
"I... wow."
Ethan was overjoyed and speechless.
[Trait: Star-Protected Body]
[Derived from the shadow of the stars taken from the Sky Temple, she is immune to external evils and her cultivation cannot be harmed under the Developing Skill. She can summon the shadow of the stars to defend against enemies.]
The Sky Temple was a treasure brought back by Marcus from the Sky Sect!
It was also the ce where Marcus cultivated his psychic powers. His nine unique fires, which he reached during the Developing Skill phase, couldn''t even affect this space. In the previous great battle, Marcus had used these nine unique fires to defeat mid-phase Developing Skill opponents!
When a peak Developing Skill attacker targeted Marcus, he simply released the Sky Temple, and nothing happened.
[Sky Temple (Marvelous Item)]
[Captures the shadow of the celestial stars, enhancing the insight of those cultivating psychic powers within it, can be used for defense, and its true inheritor can control the shadow of the stars for battle.]
This item, Marcus couldn''t fully utilize; he mostly used it for defense, only a Daoist like Warren could unleash its full power.
Then there was the ''Body of the Lotus.''
[Trait: With the Lotus entering the body, one can obtain a supreme life-bound ability weapon. As a Lotus tform, it increases the speed of cultivating psychic powers by 60%, allows for barrier-free breakthroughs to the Emerging Ability realm over time, and serves as another internal sea of qi and Developing Skill Competent Force, also capable of defending against enemies.]
A true genius!
No wonder she was born at just the right time. ckwood hadn''t had children for many years, and almost all their affection was given to her.
With her current talents, she could already be ranked in the top ten of ckwood!
"Hahaha, good child, good child!"
Nathan, just as overjoyed as Ethan, smiled even wider as Katie reached out her little hand to touch his face and then tried to grab the Forebearer Cards. "She knows to get close to the Forebearer from a young age, Katie will surely be an excellent weaver in the future!"
"..."
Ethan vigorously rubbed his face, wondering if Nathan even heard what he was saying.
