Chapter 109: Chapter 109: The Straight Death Pill!
[Blackwood Year 67]
[Your descendants harmonize with the five elements... Progress of the cosmic elements is at 15%!]
[Your descendants are together cultivating psychic powers, amassing a great amount of psychic abilities, gathered by your elemental psychic powers, enhancing the speed of cultivating psychic powers by 5%, forging the first layer of the technique, reaching a progress of 20%]
As the forging progresses, Ethan becomes increasingly skilled.
The people of Blackwood also continuously cultivate psychic powers near him, with Nathan even moving the Coffin of Eternal Death over, simply lying in the coffin to cultivate psychic powers.
With all the Forebearer Cards laid out on the ground... it looks quite eerie.
Daniel is busy with important matters every day, coming and going repeatedly.
The others are mostly the same.
Especially Julian.
He moved his forge over, and to avoid disturbing others cultivating psychic powers, had the blood ability fruit trees create a soundproofing array around him. As soon as Ethan opens his eyes, he can see him swinging his large hammer, sparks flying everywhere.
As time goes on.
Ethan also sees the splendid buildings rising throughout Blackwood.
Rain and snow fall from the sky, the sun rises and sets, and although it seems like Blackwood's descendants exist in another dimension, everyone is still experiencing the changes in weather.
The blood ability fruit trees grow taller each year, just like the children of Blackwood growing up.
Everything about Blackwood comes into his view, and he actually starts to watch it all without closing his eyes!
[You are observing the cosmic elements, which are closely related to the operation of all things. You realize that humans can establish earth, control metal and fire, humans and plants all grow, the four seasons affect humans...]
[You begin to merge with the cosmic elements!]
[Blackwood Year 70, the Grand Ritual begins!]
This year's Grand Ritual, everyone in Blackwood worships right where they are, offering the same Tribute Offering.
He still clicked 'Yes'.
As the Grand Ritual ends.
He closes his eyes.
The speed of Developing Skill is faster than ever before.
Even the second layer of the Twin Fish Harmony Seal of the cosmic elements begins to be engraved onto the Developing Skill!
[Congratulations, you have an epiphany!]
[You have comprehended the cosmic elements, under which humans exist and are influenced by, and can also control the power of the cosmic elements. You feel the power of the cosmic elements!]
[Your engraving of heaven and earth among humans is complete, your cosmic elements are beginning to be engraved.]
This year's Grand Ritual, the offering from Blackwood's descendants, is not just the Tribute Offering.
He feels it, his Developing Skill…
Is unprecedented!
...
[Blackwood, Year 79]
The sky was clear and bright, and the blood psychic fruit trees had reached a height of about 98 feet, with their sturdy branches hosting various psychic beasts from the Silver Iron Forest leaping about.
As the roots of the blood psychic fruit trees spread further, the Silver Iron Forest and Blackwood had become indistinguishable, even allowing the Boar Monarch Pete to shrink down and enter Blackwood.
Beneath the trees, numerous Blackwood clanspeople were sitting in meditation, cultivating their psychic powers by absorbing the spiritual energies of heaven and earth.
A wall had been erected around the area, inscribed with magical formations, making this place Blackwood's top secret during this period.
But they hadn't noticed.
Their Forebearer, weathered by time, had a numb expression on his face.
"Fifteen years, heaven knows how I've made it through. If it weren't for my descendants around me, I would have gone mad!" Ethan vigorously rubbed his head, clueless about how those who secluded themselves for centuries managed it.
He missed the days of playing games in front of a computer screen and longed for the braised pork Lisa made, even though only 15 hours had passed on Earth, he still felt overwhelmingly lonely.
Ethan stretched lazily.
The fire still burned within him, and he estimated that it might take a few more years to completely master the engraving of the Developing Skill technique.
Just then.
A voice sounded beside him, and the Straight Death Coffin suddenly opened, with a disheveled Nathan crawling out.
Nathan, now 99 years old, still had the honest and simple demeanor of a middle-aged man, though the years had made him appear more composed. Yet at this moment, he seemed almost mad, laughing uncontrollably, waking up the others who were in deep meditation.
"Ha ha ha, Forebearer, Nathan has done it! The second layer of the Straight Death Coffin, after dying over and over, I've finally cracked it!"
"What?!!"
As everyone joyfully gathered around Nathan, Ethan also joined in the excitement.
He was extremely delighted; the Straight Death Coffin was undoubtedly one of Blackwood's most precious treasures. Just the first layer alone had the ability to refine zombies and flying zombies, allowing Blackwood's descendants to reach high levels of martial and psychic prowess without years of cultivating psychic powers.
Over the years, Ethan had watched one Blackwood descendant after another lie down in it, each emerging with enhanced combat abilities.
Then, a pale blue screen appeared in front of the Straight Death Coffin.
Entering the game world in "Forebearer Mode," it was a complete VR god-like perspective.
[Your descendant Nathan has reached the end of the second layer of the Straight Death Coffin.]
[He has obtained the identity of the second layer's coffin master!]
[He has received a legacy left by the previous coffin master—]
[The Straight Death Pill!]
"Damn it."
Ethan's facial muscles twitched violently, watching Nathan interacting with his relatives, Ethan felt envious, "If I had known about the legacy in the second layer of the Straight Death Coffin, why did I bother painstakingly forging the Developing Skill?!!"
[Inheritance of the Direct Death Developing Skill]
[Upon becoming the inheritor, the Coffin of Heaven will continuously nurture his False Core stage, independently forming a superb Developing Skill. The Direct Death Developing Skill, imbued with divine powers of fate, allows for three lives within one Developing Skill. ]
[In one's lifetime, three Developing Skill cores can be formed, two of which can be stored elsewhere. As long as the Developing Skill remains, one can reconstruct their body and be reborn!]
[Contains a profound-grade technique—Soul Hooking Calamity Formation]
[Used to harness the souls of the deceased, forming arrays with this method to command and battle with the souls of the dead.]
This means that Nathan doesn't have to do anything; he just needs to lie in the coffin and wait for its nurturing warmth to be fed into possessing a miraculous, superb Developing Skill!
Nathan instantly became the strongest combatant in Blackwood, possessing three lives!
