My Descendants Are My Power

He lost 3 points of Family Will, but now his Family Will had actually reached 15 points.

At this moment, Aiden, in the early stages of the Competent Force realm, was diving deep beneath the waves, 33 feet below the surface near the small fishing village.

He was, after all, a demon beast in the Competent Force realm.

If it weren't for the time limit of his servitude and the glimmer of hope it offered, Aiden would have self-destructed by now.

However, according to Drunken Fool, a hundred years was too short a time.

It would be better spent as a drunken crab; after being eaten, his strength would surely increase.

[You have obtained spoils of war: one corpse of a crab demon in the early stages of the Competent Force realm.]

[Crab demons in the Competent Force realm possess a hard exoskeleton comparable to sixth-grade ore. Their bodies contain crab essence, similar to the 'crab roe' of ordinary crabs, which is a rare medicinal ingredient. It can reach the sixth grade, and consuming it alone can enhance cultivation and increase battle prowess for a short period.

Consuming it below the Developing Skill realm can strengthen one's foundation and cultivate vital energy.]

At this time, Donna's Storage Ring contained tens of thousands of crab demon corpses, ranging from ordinary beasts to those in the Competent Force realm, including four in the Developing Skill realm.

The most eye-catching among them was a giant green crab, beside which sat a large vat of 'crab essence,' emitting a mysterious yellow aura that spoke volumes about its value.

"Adam, Alexander, Benjamin, come quickly and greet your aunt! This is your Aunt Donna!"

As soon as Donna arrived, Helen called out to the three children.

Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for so long, but Helen was incredibly attentive to Donna's needs.

Even though Donna had already reached the peak of the Developing Skill realm, Helen cared for her just like she had cared for Nicholas back then, as if time had stood still.

"Aunt Donna!"

The three of them bowed hurriedly, but they couldn't help but feel a little awkward when they looked at Donna.

The world of psychic cultivation was truly strange.

Donna, with her youthful appearance, stood only about 5 feet tall in her yellow dress.

Her sleeves covered her hands, and her two braids framed a childish face.

Around her neck hung the Forebearer Psychic Position.

However, her expression remained cold and vigilant.

If she were to walk down the street, she would surely be mistaken for a lost rich girl.

This aunt, whom they were supposed to address as "aunt" or "great aunt," looked more like their little sister.

It was quite amusing.

"Well, I don't have much to offer as gifts."

After chatting with her three juniors for a while and learning about their situation, Donna frowned.

With a flick of her Storage Ring, two large vats appeared, containing half of the 'crab essence' she had just obtained.

"You should consume this. This way, Benjamin can enter seclusion and break through to the Emerging Ability realm within a month. Adam's cultivation should also see some improvement. As for Alexander, you should be able to reach the peak of the Foundational Energy realm within a year."

"Such... such potent natural energies!"

The three of them stared in astonishment at the vat of crab roe.

They had never seen such precious natural treasures before.

It seemed that their elders had indeed accomplished great things during this past half-month!

They didn't refuse the gifts. Experience tales at empire

Not long after, Adam and his son, Alexander, walked out of the house.

Drunken Fool was squatting at the door again, begging... but this time, he was eating crab.

The old drunkard even used a technique, placing the crab in a bowl and pouring wine over it, creating a dish of drunken crab.

He took a bite of the raw crab, followed by a swig of wine, the cracking sounds he made causing passersby to grimace.

"Senior, you are truly extraordinary. Thank you for saving my aunt."

Adam bowed gratefully to Drunken Fool.

"I saved her?"

Drunken Fool was taken aback.

He snapped off a crab claw, recalling Donna's frenzied state on the battlefield...

He had traveled the world of cultivation for many years, even emerging from the demon abyss, but he had never seen anyone fight with such terrifying and indescribable power as Donna in that moment.

He had heard rumors of an incredibly powerful body cultivator from Starlight County, Donna's master, but he was certain that Donna's current state surpassed even Chuck's.

"Yes, you saved my aunt, didn't you? Your family is truly extraordinary!" Alexander's eyes were clear.

"Don't say that."

Drunken Fool waved his hand hastily.

He could tell that the father and son had mistaken him for some peerless expert.

"I wouldn't dare claim to be 'extraordinary' in front of those inside. That would be asking for trouble."

Adam and Alexander exchanged glances and then looked towards the house.

Helen and Donna were deep in conversation, and even Benjamin was listening intently.

They approached and listened as the three discussed family matters, but they couldn't understand a single word.

As night fell, Alexander walked into the courtyard.

His father, Adam, was sitting there, gazing at the moon with a bowl and spoon in his hands, a melancholic expression on his face.

Alexander walked up to his father and said in a low voice, "Father, why do I always feel like I don't belong with Grandma, Aunt Donna, and the others? Even with Benjamin, I feel like I'm not as good as him."

"Sigh."

Adam let out a long sigh.

"Alexander, you and I are different from them. We've always lived comfortable lives, growing up under your mother's protection. But they're different. They've weathered storms. Even Benjamin, he's been on the run since he was 10 years old. It's been five years.

Alexander, what were you doing when you were 10?"

"I..."

A look of shame flashed across Alexander's face.

"I was using my psychic abilities to blow up cow dung."

"Me too."

Adam silently scooped a mouthful of crab roe from his bowl and swallowed it, ignoring the fishy taste.

He said in a deep voice, "Son, I've been fishing for many years, and I've heard some tales of the sea. There are truly treasures out there. Tomorrow, I'll go talk to your grandmother. I'll take you on an adventure. It might be a little late, but we can't hold the family back."

"Yes, Father!"

...

[Year 218 of the Blackwood Family]

[Your descendants, Adam and Alexander, feeling the gap between themselves and their family, decided to join a Psychic team from a neighboring town to search for a hidden realm in the sea, rumored to be the 'North Sea Dragon Palace,' the 'Kunpeng Secret Realm,' or the 'Ephemeral Sacred Realm'...]

[Olivia, who silently protected the family from the sky, sensed the determination and drive in the hearts of the father and son. She chose to bestow upon them some of the fortune she had accumulated over the years.]

[Your descendants, Adam and Alexander, have gained the trait: North Sea Treasure Hunters.]

[Their chances of finding opportunities have increased by 1%.]

That year, Donna, Helen, and Benjamin watched as a simple ability vessel sailed towards the sea.

Seeing the worry on her sister-in-law's face, Donna comforted her, "Helen, don't worry. They are children of the Blackwood family. Our Blackwood bloodline has never been content with mediocrity. Besides, the Forebearer is protecting them."

"I know."

Helen sighed.

"It's my fault. I only wanted them to live good lives. But over the years, I've realized that even with my constant protection, they still yearn for more. Donna, you don't know, Adam loved to fight when he was little. He beat up all the kids in the fishing village and secretly cultivated his psychic powers behind my back."

"Alexander wasn't any calmer when he grew up. That rascal traveled far and wide, always dreaming of chivalry and justice."

Hearing this, Donna fell silent for a long time.

She thought of her own past with her brother and sister.

Weren't they the same?

Finally, she smiled and said, "Perhaps this is the destiny woven into our Blackwood blood."
