Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Forebearer's Gift
"Blackwood has finally produced a prodigy!" Even Ethan couldn't help but envy the kid's luck.
He remembered because she was a daughter of the Martinez family, with a Foundational Energy of level five, and given the decline of the Martinez lineage, Dorothy had always fought alongside her family.
Over the years, she had accumulated many hidden injuries, and six months into her pregnancy, she nearly lost the child.
It was only through the concerted efforts of many in Blackwood using magical powers to activate the 'Death Coffin' to save the fetus, and Ethan's use of the 'Forebearer's Embrace' technique, that the child was saved.
Moreover, George was incredibly lucky. The Boar Monarch had a breakthrough in his state of mind, and Lucas had an epiphany; he arrived just in time. Especially notable was his Psychic Constitution; born with three Psychic Constitutions, and these were not ordinary.
Apart from the usual dual Psychic Constitutions of metal and wood reaching a natural score of 60, he also possessed a wind Psychic Constitution, reaching an impressive 78 points!
"Awesome!" Everyone in Blackwood rejoiced at George's birth. Especially the Boar Monarch of the Silver Iron Forest, who was so happy that he carried the child and jumped around the valley for a long time.
Julian and his wife, along with their seven children, were used to such occurrences, but it scared Dorothy into a cold sweat.
This news even reached Amelia and Marcus who were away.
[Blackwood's hundred-mile pigeon delivered a letter, Amelia paying respects outside the Thunderfire Demon Cave.]
Following the event tab, Ethan once again saw the scene of the Thunderfire Demon Cave.
This place of demonic ability users was riddled with holes, clearly the result of Psychic attacks.
Moreover, at the site of the cave, over 500 Psychics had gathered, all demon slayers from Tranquil County and the surrounding counties.
At that moment, Amelia was still dressed simply, her hair unkempt. However, outside the room where Amelia was, there were injured people waiting for rescue.
Despite Amelia always being at the Thunderfire Demon Cave, Ethan occasionally checked on her current situation; this kid... now had a not-so-simple identity!
Flipping through the character history tab.
[Blackwood Year 49, Amelia arrived at the Demon Cave.]
[Blackwood Year 50, unremarkably.]
[Year 51, Amelia began to save the dying and help the injured, becoming a famous pharmacist in the demon slaying team, due to her trait 'Miraculous Medic', always managing to save her companions.]
[Year 52, a demon with severe injuries among those with demonic abilities took a risk to enter the demon slaying team to seek Amelia's help. She wrote back to Blackwood, Olivia gave her an idea, from then on Amelia saved demon slaying team members by day, and demonic ability users by night, her medical skills becoming increasingly profound.]
[For saving lives, she received a reward, a junior psychic equipment, Shadowless Pin.]
[Received a reward, Heavenly Heart Grass.]
[Received a reward, ordinary technique, Heavenly Mystery Circling Step.]
[Received...]
[As she continued to treat and save people, and came into contact with more toxic herbs within the Demon Cave, her trait 'Miraculous Medic', transformed into—]
[Great Doctor Without Borders: Becoming increasingly intuitive about the properties of unfamiliar herbs, medical skills increased by 100%, poison skills increased by 100%.]
If one were to say who gained the most during the years of the great wars. It was not Marcus, who became a direct disciple in the Sky Sect, but Amelia! She thrived by adapting to both sides, reaping substantial benefits. Even to the extent that...
[Blackwood Year 53, Amelia concocted hundreds of medicines, refined hundreds of poisons, gained insights, and with the integration of medicine and poison into her body, she absorbed the earth's herbs and the land's profound energy to correct her body, breaking through the mid-stage of Emerging Ability!]
And not just that. At this moment, Amelia was kneeling before Ethan's cards, her face innocent, devoid of the previous scheming and caution, just like the child who happily touched the beast blood fruit under the beast blood fruit tree, "Forebearer, the child has learned, the child has a remarkably talented grand-nephew, with George, Blackwood has a continuation of a thousand years."
"Hehe."
Ethan's mouth twitched slightly as he began to understand why there were more and more Psychics around the edge of the Demon Cave, and why there were hardly any casualties. "The trait 'Boundless Healer', truly a Boundless Healer."
"It's just like something Olivia would come up with."
Seeing the current situation, Ethan felt relieved about Amelia's condition and then turned his attention to the Sky Sect.
A location appeared on the map.
[Sky Temple]
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that only the successive leaders of the Sky Sect could enter this place, a Psychic Sanctuary shrouded in darkness yet dotted with stars like the dark universe itself.
Marcus and Sect Leader Wesley were sitting in meditation facing each other.
Sect Leader Wesley, seeing Marcus mastering the sect's secret techniques more profoundly, furrowed his brows and asked, "Marcus, I heard you received another family letter today?"
Marcus slowly opened his eyes.
His expression calm, he said, "Yes, I burned it. Marcus has already severed worldly ties; it's just people from Blackwood trying to climb the social ladder, no need to bother with them."
"That's very good."
Sect Leader Wesley nodded slightly, no longer doubtful, "I heard you often carry the Forebearer cards?"
"Yes."
Marcus, unflappable, silently took out the Forebearer Cards from his bosom and casually shattered it, "Always with me, it's also a part of severing worldly ties. Now, even looking at the Forebearer cards, Marcus no longer reminisces about mundane days. If you find it displeasing, I can destroy it."
"Huh." Sect Leader Wesley finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "That's very good, my disciple. You must know, for cultivators, the blink of an eye is like a year, and only by severing worldly ties can one cultivate psychic powers—this is the true principle of the Great Path!"
"Marcus understands."
When night fell.
Marcus returned to his sleeping quarters, cautiously sensing his surroundings to ensure there were no other presences before entering his room. He slowly lifted his bed, unlocked thirty-six talismans, and revealed a large stack of cards inside, picking one out to burn incense and kneel before.
"How dare Old Thief Wesley disturb my true heart?"
"Please rest assured, Forebearer, he recognizes me as his disciple, but I have never called him 'master'."
"In my years at Sky, the elders have already respected me as the next Sect Leader. Last year, when Jubilee County tried to invade our family's residence, I dispatched three loyal inner disciples to divert them."
"This time, hearing that the third brother Thomas has a son, the gift I sent will arrive by the full moon, serving as a safeguard for our Blackwood in this great war between two sects!"
