Deep within a mountain range, George, William, and Justin burst forth, the Forebearer Psychic Position beside them glowing brightly.


    "Forebearer!" George knelt in reverence.


    As the Forebearer Psychic Position stirred, a message was ryed, causing his eyebrows to shoot up.


    "The Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary? The best of Sunshine City are gathering there, even Uncle went?"


    Justin''s eyes gleamed with excitement.


    "Brother, it''s going to be dangerous there, we have to go too! I''ve been itching to meet the experts from Sunshine Mansion. It''s been ages since I''ve felt a real thrill, and I''m stuck at the peak of Developing Skill with no progress."


    "Let''s go, let''s go! Time for some real action!"


    William licked his lips.


    ...


    In the ckwood Estate of Sunshine Mansion, under the shade of a giant tree, Joseph sat alone, engrossed in a game of chess.


    Katiey on a branch above, enjoying the cool breeze.


    Both seemed perfectly at ease.


    Suddenly, the Psychic Position beside them lit up.


    Katie leaped down from the tree, while Joseph paused his game, his gaze fixed on the glowing object.


    "Have the elders departed?"


    Joseph bowed towards the Forebearer Psychic Position.


    "Please rest assured, Forebearer. I have been studying the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary for many years. My reason foring to Sunshine City from ckwood was precisely for opportunities like this. The Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary is a world unto itself, developed over millennia. It is divided into inner and outer regions. I''m afraid the inner region can only be essed by the elders."


    "As for the middle and outer areas..."


    Joseph smiled at Katie.


    "Katie and I will pay them a visit. I hope the younger generation of Sunshine Mansion is ready for what we have in store."


    ...


    [Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary]


    [Millennia ago, the resting ce of ''Heavenly Path Venerable'', a Psychic who achieved the peak of Basic Mastery, transformed into a self-contained world with its ownws, giving birth to mystical herbs, beasts, and artifacts. Many Basic Mastery Psychics from Sunshine Mansion covet its treasures. To avoid karmic repercussions, they send their descendants topete for them.]


    At this moment, on a small mountain known as ''Misty Mount'' in Sunshine Mansion, Psychics from all corners converged, some soaring through the air on enchanted swords, others riding Psychic Gear or wielding ability weapons.


    Once a barrennd, Misty Mount was now bustling with activity thanks to the appearance of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.


    The surrounding viges were filled with awestruck vigers, their gazes fixed on the ''Masters of Mysticism'' gathered in the sky.


    Multiple formations shimmered in the sky above Misty Mount.


    As each Psychic approached, ripples spread out like waves in water.


    Within the mountainy a cave, its entrance sealed by a swirling vortex-like formation.


    Each Psychic who arrived stepped into the vortex and vanished.


    Dozens of miles away from the cave, every passing Psychic paused, their expressions turning intrigued as they witnessed a peculiar sight.


    High above, suspended in mid-air, over a hundred talismans pulsed with a terrifying aura, their golden inscriptions glowing brightly as they slowly rotated.


    Trapped within these talismans were four figures, each radiating the power of a peak Competent Force Psychic.


    Who else could they be but the four peak Competent Force experts dispatched by Bryce?


    These four had arrived only to be captured before evenying eyes on the entrance to the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.


    A sect from Sunshine Mansion, known as the Golden Dawn Alliance, had acted swiftly and decisively.


    Without a word, their Basic Mastery Grand Elder had unleashed a surge of psychic power, trapping the four within the confines of the talismans.


    What kind of profound technique did this Golden Dawn Alliance patriarch cultivate?


    Even Chuck, a powerhouse unmatched in his own county, couldn''t break free from these seemingly fragile talismans!


    A master from Phillips Duke''s Mansion frowned and cupped his hands towards the sky.


    "Senior, the opportunities within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary are for all to seize. Why treat us juniors in such a manner? This is going too far!"


    The Grand Elder of the Golden Dawn Alliance remained silent, his actions speaking volumes.


    It was a tant disy of power, leaving the four trapped experts with faces contorted in anger.


    "What''s the point of talking to him?"


    Chuck roared, still bombarding the formation with his attacks.


    "They''re clearly afraid of us from Cloudview County gaining any real power, terrified that we might break through to Basic Mastery. They''ve had their eyes on us since we left Azure Cloud!"


    "s..."


    Patriarch Ralph and Patriarch Walker could only sigh.


    They had long known that Sunshine Mansion sought to suppress the growth of Cloudview County, but they hadn''t anticipated such tant hostility.


    The Basic Mastery Psychic didn''t dare to release them, fearing they might retaliate in anger.


    However, he couldn''t kill them either.


    The war with the Druids was still raging in Azure Cloud, and they too had Basic Mastery Psychics.


    ...


    "???"


    Ethan trailed behind Joseph and Katie.


    The trio, along with a makeshift team of Psychics, were entering the Psychic Sanctuary under the guidance of a Developing Skill expert from Sunshine ckwood.


    It was then that Ethan noticed the four figures from Azure Cloud, imprisoned high in the sky.


    So much foring to seize resources.


    Now they were reduced to being glorified decorations, trapped in the sky for all to see?


    "Thank goodness for ckwood. Otherwise, our Azure Cloud would''ve returned empty-handed."


    Ethan wasn''t exactly thrilled.


    After all, they were all on the same side.


    Although his family''s actions were supposed to be a secret, they had hoped that the experts sent by Cloudview County would gain something from this expedition.


    It would benefit Azure Cloud as well.


    For a Basic Mastery Psychic from Sunshine Mansion to act so shamelessly... this wasn''t just an insult to Chuck and the others, it was an insult to all of Cloudview County!


    Chapter Your:


    "So this is what a Basic Mastery Psychic from Sunshine Mansion is like? What a joke, this Golden Dawn Alliance. Their name sounds all righteous and noble, but their actions are despicable."


    Joseph''s face darkened as he witnessed the scene in the sky.


    "Our Cloudview County has been battling the Druids for years. Each of those seniors has fought bravely on the front lines. Now, theye to Sunshine Mansion seeking opportunity, and this Golden Dawn Alliance resorts to such underhanded tactics!"


    Katie, her massive bow strapped to her back, furrowed her brow.


    "If they''re going to be so devious..."


    "Then we won''t hold back either."


    Without another word, Joseph had Katie push him towards the entrance of the Psychic Sanctuary.


    ...


    The Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary truly lived up to its reputation as a world unto itself, formed from the remnants of a peak Basic Mastery Psychic''s power.


    As Ethan stepped inside with the others, he was immediately struck by the dense concentration of mystical energy.


    Lush greenery stretched out before them, epassing vast rivers, towering mountains, and a sky filled with clouds.


    However, there was no sun, moon, or stars, as if it were perpetually daytime.


    Untouched for millennia, this ce was a treasure trove of mystical herbs and rare resources!


    No sooner had they arrived than they spotted a group of Psychics gathered in the distance.


    At the center of themotion was a mystical herb, radiating potent energy.


    [Rare Life-Giving Herb]


    [Rank: Seventh]


    [Originally an eighth-rank mystical herb, it has grown for over two thousand years, reaching the seventh rank. Consuming it raw can increase one''s mystical powers and heal severe injuries below the Developing Skill level. It is an exceptional ingredient for concocting healing pills.]


    "This... This is too good to be true!"


    Ethan felt like he had stumbled upon a gold mine.


    And this was just the outer area!


    Who knew what wonders awaited them deeper inside?


    The Psychics surrounding the herb were practically drooling with desire, yet none dared to make the first move.


    However, the first to im a prize wasn''t Joseph.


    On the pale blue screen before him, a line of text appeared, catching Ethan''s eye.


    In an instant, he located the source... George and hispanions.


    This was the outer region of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.


    As Joseph had exined, the people of Sunshine Mansion valued their reputation above all else.


    The moment the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary opened, the Basic Mastery Psychics of Sunshine Mansion had divided it into threeyers, each corresponding to the Emerging Ability, Developing Skill, and Competent Force levels.
