My Descendants Are My Power

"It seems Julian has truly found a good master."

Watching Julian undergo the tribulation outside Radiant Sky Grotto, Ancestor Reid casually waved his hand, summoning a protective talisman for his disciple.

Ethan was happy for Julian too.

In the two years since Julian had become Ancestor Reid's disciple, he hadn't learned many techniques directly from his master.

Only when Julian encountered something he couldn't understand in his various professions would Ancestor Reid's avatar appear to enlighten him.

Ethan remembered a conversation he had overheard between the master and disciple.

"The path is walked by oneself. People say we cultivate the Unorthodox Path, but there are countless ways to cultivate psychic abilities. Who decided that the way the majority cultivates is the right way? There is truth in the world, and that is the Great Way. Everyone sees the Great Way differently, but ultimately, they all lead to the same destination."

Several days passed.

On Amber Hill, the site of the great battle two years ago was still scarred and broken.

Julian sat cross-legged at the spot where Chuck had undergone his breakthrough.

Many eyes still watched Amber Hill, but when they saw Ancestor Reid's protective talisman, none dared to cross the line.

As thunderclouds gathered, the Blackwoods watched anxiously as Julian underwent his tribulation.

This time, Julian's tribulation was a surprise to them all, even Ethan.

Julian rose into the air, and Ancestor Reid's talisman appeared beneath him, transforming into... a gigantic furnace!

Pieces of ore materialized from all directions.

The thunder tribulation in the sky intensified, changing from a nineteen-fold tribulation to a thirty-nine-fold tribulation, and finally... a ninety-nine-fold tribulation!

The ores slowly melted and integrated into Julian's body.

"This..."

Having cultivated their psychic abilities for over two hundred years, the Blackwoods naturally knew something about forging techniques.

Watching Julian transform himself into a furnace for his breakthrough, they began to understand.

Ethan was equally astonished by this strange sight.

[Your descendant, Julian, aided by Ancestor Reid, is using his great psychic powers to conceal his true potential. Each profession can conceal one level of the thunder tribulation, allowing him to progress step by step, integrating ores and using the Unorthodox Path to transform himself!]

...

Radiant Sky Grotto had existed since the founding of the Emerald Empire.

Although Ancestor Reid rarely appeared in person, his name was known throughout the land.

The news that such a powerful figure had taken on a closed-door disciple naturally attracted the attention of many factions within the Emerald Empire.

They all witnessed the commotion on Amber Hill.

Not far from Amber Hill, Quinn Daoist, the master of Radiant Sky Grotto who had intercepted Owen that day, watched the thunder tribulation in the sky with a complicated expression.

Every Psychic in Radiant Sky Grotto dreamed of becoming Ancestor Reid's disciple and inheriting his legacy, but they rarely even caught a glimpse of the legendary figure.

After all these years, they had never seen Ancestor Reid fight.

And now, an unknown individual had become his disciple?

"Fellow Daoist Quinn." Experience tales with empire

A figure appeared beside Quinn Daoist.

It was Hudson, the Heavenly Path projection who had been besieged by Chuck and Bill Daoist before fleeing in disgrace after Owen and the black mist figure came to his rescue.

Hudson seemed to be somewhat acquainted with Quinn Daoist.

His presence didn't alarm the latter.

He chuckled and said, "Ancestor Reid is indeed a mighty figure. Julian was originally destined for a sixty-nine-fold tribulation, but he's actually undergoing a ninety-nine-fold one! It's a pity he didn't pass on his legacy to you, the Grotto Master."

Quinn Daoist remained silent.

Soon, even Hudson fell silent.

They, along with everyone else in the empire, witnessed a breakthrough method they had never seen before!

"He's... using his own body as a furnace and the heavenly thunder and earthly fire as his tools!"

Beneath the raging thunder, the iron ore surrounding Julian melted away, transforming into molten metal.

Under the increasingly powerful lightning, the liquid metal encased Julian in a giant black cocoon!

Formations, talisman scripts, AI Bionic Robot patterns...

These Unorthodox Path techniques were etched onto the surface of the cocoon, one by one!

"Impossible? He's mastered all the Unorthodox Paths... every single one!"

Hudson gritted his teeth, his face dark.

He could sense Julian growing stronger.

In the near future, this young man would become their most formidable obstacle.

And there was nothing they could do about it.

Behind Julian stood Ancestor Reid!

He turned to Quinn Daoist and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist..."

But before he could finish, Quinn Daoist scoffed.

"I know what you're going to say. You want me to help you deal with Julian. Don't be ridiculous. Even if Julian hadn't come along, Master would never have chosen me as his heir. Your problems are your own. I only do what I believe is right."

...

The black cocoon endured the thunder tribulation for three whole days, wasting none of its power.

The powerful figures of the empire watched in awe.

The Blackwoods did the same.

Within the ancient tree in Radiant Sky Grotto, a gratified smile appeared on Ancestor Reid's face.

"Good disciple."

Although he rarely left the ancient tree, nothing that happened in Radiant Sky Grotto escaped his notice.

He had noticed Julian's unique qualities the moment he stepped foot in the grotto.

He watched as Julian entered Radiant Sky Grotto and knelt in his room for half a month, clutching a Storage Ring and weeping.

But after those fifteen days, he saw Julian rise to his feet, his eyes filled with determination.

And then... he watched as Julian began doing menial tasks.

At first, he could clearly sense the anger within Julian.

But slowly, Julian grew accustomed to his humble existence, disguising himself as nothing more than an ordinary person.

However, the boy never stopped secretly learning within Radiant Sky Grotto.

Every time he was alone, Julian would practice the Unorthodox Paths he had observed.

Ancestor Reid had never met a child so unwavering in his determination.

In Julian, he saw a reflection of his younger self.

It was then that he decided to take Julian as his disciple.

But it wasn't enough.

For decades, in his eyes, Julian was like a piece of crude iron, slowly being stripped of its rough edges.

Radiant Sky Grotto became a crucible, tempering the iron and infusing it with the world's energy.

And in that explosion, Julian didn't disappoint him.

The iron had finally revealed its edge.

It was then that Ancestor Reid knew he had finally found someone worthy of inheriting his legacy.
