[Blackwood 262 Year]
The grand ancestral sacrifice was long over, and the Blackwood clan continued their diligent cultivation of psychic powers.
[Your descendant, Julian, has forged a high-grade ability weapon: Cloud Thunder Sword.]
[It can gather the thunderclouds of heaven and earth, summoning heavenly lightning.]
[Your descendant, Alia, has refined a Sixth-Grade Ability Pill: Tribulation Pill.]
[It can be used to negate 10% of the power of a thunder tribulation.]
[Congratulations! Your descendant, Benjamin, has broken through to the Transcendental Seed stage. Your descendant, Alexander, has broken through to the peak of Erging Ability.]
The descendants continued their cultivation as usual.
The resources from Kylin Mountain Roberts had solved the Blackwood clan's resource problem, providing them with enough to last for at least a century.
However, what truly concerned Ethan this year was an event displayed on the panel before him.
It was an event that once again brought all the clan mbers together within the Forebearer Space.
[Special Event – News from Venerable Phil of Crystal Crest]
[Venerable Phil has never ceased his investigation into the Heavenly Path Venerable. The Blackwood's decisive victory at Amber Hill, the rescue of nurous Rising Stars from Kylin Mountain, and Julian's breakthrough to beco a Nine-Nine Competent Force have given him hope for defeating the Heavenly Path Venerable.
He has begun searching for the location of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary to help the Blackwoods rescue their kin trapped within.]
"The location of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary?"
Ethan couldn't suppress the joy on his face.
Over the years, they had never given up searching for the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.
The thirteen clan mbers trapped inside desperately needed rescuing.
The clan constantly worried for their safety, especially since it was the Heavenly Path Venerable's territory!
In an instant, Ethan appeared at Crystal Crest.
…
At that mont, on Crystal Crest, Venerable Phil had summoned his closed-door disciple, Samuel, and Mary.
Mary had been cultivating on Crystal Crest all these years out of necessity.
Crystal Crest was located within Sunshine Mansion, and according to Venerable Phil, his every move was monitored by the Heavenly Path Venerable, making it impossible to send Mary away.
Now, Mary, too, was on the verge of breaking through to Competent Force but had yet to face the Six-Nine thunder tribulation.
However…
She had already reached the peak of Developing Skill at over two hundred years old, considered her pri in terms of Developing Skill cultivation.
She had been a picture of strength and vitality.
But now, her hair was dry and white, her once dark skin had turned pale, and her eyes held an inextinguishable rage.
Only Ethan knew.
On the night she received news of the Blackwood clan's supposed annihilation, Mary's hair had turned white overnight.
After all, those who had perished were her and Julian's descendants.
She couldn't even bring herself to leave Crystal Crest to pay her respects to the children one last ti.
"Master, didn't you find news about the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary? Where is it?"
Samuel glanced at Mary beside him.
It had been so many years, and she had been cultivating on the mountain this whole ti.
He rembered when they first arrived; Mary had been fearless and full of life.
Now, she resembled her white hair – devoid of vibrancy.
The Heavenly Path Venerable originated from their sect, causing such imnse suffering.
It was their responsibility to clean up this ss.
"Do you truly wish to find the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary?"
Venerable Phil gazed at Mary intently.
Hearing this, Mary nodded resolutely.
Her children were still trapped inside!
"Then, let us begin."
…
Within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary…
Years had passed, and the number of Sunshine Mansion Rising Stars who had initially entered the sanctuary had dwindled to less than a thousand after countless battles.
After years of fighting over resources, the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary had been thoroughly depleted.
The initial scramble for resources had subsided, and now they each guarded their own small territories.
On this day…
All the experts within the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary, except for the Blackwoods, gathered inside a sealed cave.
They stared at a… remarkably simple stone archway tomb before them.
Dust covered the tombstone.
Neil, who had once besieged Marcus, stood among the crowd, his gaze fixed on Kyle, who had beco the de facto ruler of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.
Kyle knelt on one knee, gently wiping away the dust from the tombstone.
"Evan Torres' tomb?"
The inscription on the tombstone caused everyone to exchange puzzled looks.
This cave was located in the deepest part of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary, protected by a powerful formation.
It had taken them decades to break through.
They had expected to find so hidden treasure or a way out, but to their surprise, it was just a simple tomb?
"Evan Torres?"
Hidden underground, Joseph, one of the Blackwoods, frowned.
"This cave, located in the deepest part of the sanctuary, can't be this simple. The Heavenly Path Venerable's Psychic Sanctuary… Perhaps Evan was his true na."
As expected…
Through Neil's eyes, they witnessed a collective gasp from the Psychics within the cave.
A phantom image appeared above Evan's tomb, flickering with scenes like a slideshow.
Marcus whispered, "These are the scenes I saw within the Heavenly Path Tear."
Everyone focused their attention.
The scenes were identical to what Marcus had seen, but they moved faster, also experiencing a gap around a thousand years ago.
When the images resud, the Heavenly Path Venerable had already created the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.
He then took the sanctuary and traveled everywhere he had been, from his mortal days to his journey in cultivating psychic powers.
By the ti he returned to the sanctuary, he had shed a single 'Heavenly Path Tear.'
"Karma, such karma! In my lifeti, I have committed countless wrongs. It seems I am not fated to undergo the tribulation."
"Master… You said I lacked the aptitude and should not have resorted to killing. I should not have hard my fellow disciples, creating such karma. In the end, I am nothing but a withered old man, ah…"
Then…
He actually… died!
His body began to decompose, transforming into every part of the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary!
"How is that possible? How could he just die like that?"
Joseph's expression shifted drastically.
"Then… then what destroyed our clan? Wasn't it the Heavenly Path Venerable's projection?!"
The Blackwoods were all stunned.
The Heavenly Path Venerable was dead?
Then, the nurous Heavenly Path projections outside… were they all fake?
At that mont…
Ethan's face darkened, mirroring the expressions of the other Blackwoods. Explore more adventures at empire
They watched as…
After the Heavenly Path Venerable's death, a figure entered the newly ford Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary.
He lingered within for many years until one day, he seed to have a revelation.
Step by step, he gathered the scattered remnants of the Heavenly Path Venerable's soul.
The soul remnants, composed of black energy, dispersed from the Heavenly Path Psychic Sanctuary in all directions!
A sinister smile spread across the man's lips.
"With such a magic formula, as long as I have enough ti, the world will be mine!"
