My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Chaos Ascending

[With the increase in resources, the members of Black Blood Hall in Gratitude Village have grown to 300!]

[The Forge Pavilion has been working overtime and has finally crafted enough black iron beast blood suits, the effects of which rival mid-grade psychic gear.]

After receiving support from the Silver Iron Forest, the Forge Pavilion and the Psychic Medicine Garden benefited the most!

The Silver Iron Forest has a plethora of exotic beasts and psychic creatures at Blackwood's command, and Luna periodically leads teams into the forest to extract blood from these psychic and exotic beasts.

Julian now owns over twenty 'Blood Altars' used for soaking equipment.

The remaining beast blood can support the cultivation of ten beast blood fruit trees!

When the exotic beasts need to breakthrough, they too can benefit from the beast blood fruit trees—a truly win-win situation.

[Your descendant Lucas is cultivating psychic powers in the Death Coffin, and his magical martial skills have improved.]

[Nathan is cultivating psychic powers in the Death Coffin....]

[Luna is in the Death Coffin...]

Nathan and his wife, along with Lucas who is deeply engrossed in swordsmanship, often spend time in the Death Coffin cultivating psychic powers, occasionally coaxing Daniel to train in the coffin as well.

Their cultivation of the 'Sky Codex' is also progressing.

However, Blackwood dares not use the magical martial arts from the 'Sky Codex' outside carelessly, as these are the secret techniques of the Sky Sect and could cause trouble if leaked.

The villagers of Gratitude Village are still cultivating psychic powers using the magical martial arts obtained from the three annihilated families.

Their progress is also quite rapid.

Now, the training hall built by Blackwood has ten units.

[Blackwood Year 46.]

[Mary, after being pregnant for ten months, gave birth to twins, named Andrew and Nancy!]

[Congratulations, you have received a Spiritual Tribute+30!]

Mary is undoubtedly the most hardworking daughter-in-law in Blackwood, and as the cries of the newborns echoed again in the delivery room, the midwife skillfully handed the two children to Nathan and his wife, filling the people of Blackwood with indescribable joy.

"Forebearer, look at me, I've given birth to two more children, much better than my older brother!" Julian exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement as he looked at the children cradled in his parents' arms.

Lucas glared at Julian, but was used to his younger brother's brashness, his face darkening as he scolded, "What kind of talk is that? Do you think just because we're all grown up, I won't beat you up?"

"Ahaha, I'm just happy, really happy today."

Julian scratched his head.

Watching the screen showing the joyful family, Ethan spontaneously sent a 'Forebearer's Love' to each of them.

"Their time sure flies."

Ethan said with a beaming smile.

Soon, the scene shifted, and Blackwood was hosting a grand feast to celebrate the new births.

Over the years, Ethan noticed that Blackwood had made many friends, with guests filling the hall.

The Rodriguez and Martinez families from Forest Town, the Moores from Silverwood Town, the Anderson family supported by Horizon Falls Town, and other major families from nearby towns who had business dealings with Blackwood all brought gifts.

Just as he was counting Blackwood's friends, a line of text suddenly appeared in the event column, clashing with the festive atmosphere.

[Special Event]

[The two major sects behind Tranquil County Town have reignited their old feud after many years, reaching a point of no return, with a great battle imminent and chaos approaching.]

"???"

Ethan was momentarily stunned. He remembered that when Marcus joined the Sky Sect, there were hints of the conflict between the Sky Sect and the Xuanwu Gate, and Marcus's master had died amidst their disputes. These two factions had been clashing every so often, battling for hundreds of years.

However, he had always focused on his family's development and hadn't realized the chaos outside had escalated to this extent.

Looking at the game screen.

They were discussing this very issue at the dinner table!

Jerry shook his head and sighed, "Ah, the strife between sects, it's always us families, even the common folk, who suffer."

The head of the Moore family also looked troubled.

"I have a friend in the Sky Sect, she shared some insider details with me. Originally, it was the discovery of an ancient stele by the two major sects that revealed there had been an ancient battle around Tranquil County. A Supreme-level master had fallen, leaving behind treasures like a Heavenly Coffin."

"So, they found the ancient tomb and cast spells that triggered the tomb's grand formation, causing nearly twenty years of severe drought in Tranquil County and the surrounding areas."

"They said they were searching for some Heavenly Coffin, but it turned out to be a joke. In that tomb, there was nothing but a fart left by an ancient power with great magical force preserved over the ages."

"For a joke, they completely disregarded the lives of the common people and us. Now with both sides at war, how are we to stay wise and protect ourselves?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Blackwood remained composed, but inside, they were already in turmoil!

Even Ethan felt the same way!

"Holy crap?!!"

In an instant, Ethan understood!

No wonder Nathan had found that mysterious long spear in the Mystic Boar Forest at the beginning of the drought.

No wonder the Heavenly Coffin had appeared.

"That means, they got the location wrong, activated the magic, and it was only then that the mysterious long spear and the Heavenly Coffin in Gratitude Village emerged, eventually coming into our possession at Blackwood."

Ethan's scalp tingled.

But fortunately, both the Sky Sect and the Xuanwu Gate believed that the ancient legends were non-existent, a mere play by the powerful from the past. As long as they kept it under wraps, no one would suspect that the Heavenly Coffin was with Blackwood!

"Phew..."

Ethan let out a long sigh of relief.

He was now grateful for his caution, always having the people of Blackwood keep the secret of the Heavenly Coffin. Otherwise, just a hint of a clue would have the two sects, mocked by the ancient powers, tearing Blackwood apart!

Soon, the banquet on the game interface was over.

And the descendants of Blackwood walked worriedly towards the ancestral hall.

The most pressing matter now was, if the two major sects were to fight, they too would be affected!

Ethan clicked on the icon of the Purple Thunder Solar Python, asking everyone for details.

Olivia spoke gravely:

"Forebearer, for a long time, our Tranquil County and the twelve towns have been dominated by these two major sects. Tranquil County is just one of them, and each of the two sects also occupies two other county towns."

"For many years, Tranquil County has been jointly owned by the two sects, with taxes split evenly. Now with both sides at war, Tranquil County might also fall into their scramble."

"When that happens, even the county government won't be able to manage much. Tranquil County will become a land of chaos! We could be ordered around by the two major sects at any time, and we could also be vulnerable to those who fish in troubled waters."

"Mr. Moore said, their conflict is irreparable. According to the books my son has read, this war could very well last for decades, even a century!"

Ethan rubbed the mouse.

He could feel that the days ahead were likely to be anything but peaceful.
