Chapter 107: Chapter 107: To be the leader or to be the tail
"By the time the fourth generation grows up, we'll be able to gradually take control of Tranquil
County,"
Ethan said with a slight smile. Blackwood had always been unable to move beyond Forest Town, simply because even if they controlled other areas, there were no personnel to guard them.
He restrained his thoughts and then shifted his focus to the family head, Daniel.
[Your descendant Daniel is currently watering the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree. It is digesting a large amount of blood, its roots are spreading and expanding, and it is beginning to undergo some changes. This will be a lengthy process.]
[The formation obtained from the Rodriguez family is searching for materials to imprint onto the Blood Psychic Fruit Tree.]
[Julian is forging more psychic puppets...]
[A large amount of herbs has been delivered to your descendant Amelia. She is happily spinning around, knowing it must be a reward from the Forebearer, and is expressing her gratitude to you.]
Under Daniel's leadership, Blackwood's development was well-organized.
Moreover, Blackwood now essentially had no external enemies. Although the two major wars were still ongoing, things in Tranquil County were gradually quieting down, and this was clearly recorded in the special events section.
[As the two major wars continue, the resources of Tranquil County are gradually being divided up by the forces of Xuanwu Gate and Sky Sect, with all forces choosing sides.]
[Because Sky Sect has lost two Developing Skill elders in succession, they have begun to shrink back in defense.]
"With this, the previously chaotic Tranquil County has actually become worthless. Forest Town was originally just a rural area, and it's unlikely that the fighting will reach here. I might as well break through," Ethan licked his lips.
Class D!
He had been wanting to break through for a while, and this time, during the great battle at the Rodriguez family, he seemed to have become a bit obsessed with the power.
Moreover, without breaking through, there was nothing else for him to do but watch Blackwood slowly digest what it had gained.
[You are using the Forebearer moment—]
[Detected that you are in the Transcendent Seed stage, consuming 1000 points of Spiritual Tribute per year!]
[Would you like to enter?]
Ethan clicked yes without hesitation!
The next moment.
His eyes turned white, and his consciousness fell into chaos...
"Oh, here we go again!"
Stepping back into the game world, a hint of nostalgia flashed across Ethan's face. It had only been an hour since his last visit, yet it felt like ages had passed.
And this time, it was different.
Last time he was just a swirl of black mist, seeing nothing but black mist around him. But now... he was solid!
He finally felt the fresh air of this world, the psychic powers that dwarfed those of Earth by multiples, and the very real people.
Even... the big guy in front of him.
This dude was about six and a half feet tall, built like a bull, with dark red armor clanking crisply as he moved. Seemingly with nothing better to do, he was striding along, casually picking his nose!
Ethan recognized this guy, Thomas, a fool who spoke without thinking.
Just as Ethan was about to swing a punch at him, he froze.
Thomas's body passed right through his.
"Can't select, can't attack. Thomas is in the Emerging Ability phase, he can sense spirits at the very least, which means I'm not even considered a psychic entity here, just existing within a specific range of this world, absorbing psychic powers to break through?"
Ethan suddenly understood why entering the world for combat cost so many Spiritual Tribute points every five minutes.
And why existing in this world cost only a thousand a year.
Even so.
Ethan looked off into the distance, within a ten-thousand-meter radius of the Forebearer's shrine, a circle formed, and he felt he couldn't step outside it.
"There's a reason it's cheap."
Ethan didn't mind.
He took a deep breath and simply sat down next to the blood psychic fruit tree to meditate, confirming his suspicions. When he had previously arrived as a misty figure, the blood psychic fruit tree had been the most excited, seemingly having some sort of pact with his cards. Now, however, there was no response from the tree.
"I exist in this world for a year, and only an hour passes outside, my skills are already defying the heavens, no need to fret over it anymore."
Ethan stopped pondering.
And in a moment, he began to meditate for a breakthrough.
...
Breaking through to Emerging Ability is the easiest step.
As long as one's Psychic Constitution reaches over 60 points, they can accommodate enough extraterrestrial abilities to forcefully open the body's acupoints.
Transforming the internal energy into a sea of qi, obtaining the Dan Fire, and beginning the process of purifying the body's impurities and undergoing a transformation in aptitude.
Even discarding the fragile and excess Psychic Constitution.
The reason why the previous members of Blackwood, despite their mediocre talents, could break through one by one to Emerging Ability, was because they consumed Ethan's 'Heavenly Mechanism Supplement Ability Pill'.
Which essentially served as a ticket to the breakthrough of Emerging Ability. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a divine medicine in the real world.
The duration of the breakthrough is long because they need to gather enough extraterrestrial abilities in their Psychic Constitution to strive for the best possible realm, a process that is complex and even requires repeated deductions.
The stages that follow are like crossing a chasm!
From the early stages of Emerging Ability to the peak, it involves condensing the internal sea of qi into a Dan pellet, while the psychic abilities also become more solid and powerful.
After becoming a Dan pellet, it is refined with the Dan Fire, marking the Transcendent Seed stage.
During this period, the Developing Skill being tempered also varies in strength.
This process involves engraving a certain technique or martial skill onto the Developing Skill. The more completely it is engraved, the stronger the technique or martial skill, and the higher the quality of the Developing Skill formed. It is divided into three grades of Dan pellets: heaven, earth, and man.
These different grades of Dan pellets relate to how much extraterrestrial ability the Developing Skill can store, the speed of absorbing extraterrestrial abilities, the speed of casting techniques, and other innate conditions.
The stronger the Dan Fire formed by the Psychic Constitution, the easier it is to refine the Developing Skill.
Ethan also heard that during the refining of Developing Skill, if one has an epiphany about the universe, the Developing Skill can even surpass the three grades and advance further!
Like Elder Dylan before, his Developing Skill was of the earth grade, hence he could single-handedly match three individuals with Developing Skills and still manage effortlessly.
At this moment, Ethan is in the process of refining at the Transcendent Seed stage!
Within his body, flames blaze fiercely, and the Twin Fish Harmony Seal has become his meditation mat.
The Twin Fish Harmony Seal, this is his strongest technique, far more powerful than the Shadowy Heavenly Cluster Steps, and it is also the technique he intends to engrave on the Transcendent Seed stage.
Ethan is ambitious and still young. If he cannot engrave the Twin Fish Harmony Seal technique before the end of his life, then he might as well spend a year engraving a worthless technique and resign himself to mediocrity for life.
To be the leader or to be the tail, that is his philosophy in life.
Otherwise, he would have already broken through the Developing Skill.
