"Good, good kid!"


    Ethan''s face was full of approval for Marcus.


    Every time he opened the Sky Sect area before, he saw Taoist Wesley brainwashing Marcus with all that nonsense about ruthless love and cutting off worldly desires, almost like a cult member.


    Fortunately, Marcus, after years of silence, had not forgotten his original intentions.


    Looking back at Marcus''s past experiences, indeed, a few days ago, he had sent a loyal disciple to deliver a treasure.


    Soon.


    As time sped up.


    The full moon celebration for ckwood''s newborn, George, also arrived.


    However, this full moon celebration was not as lively as before. The two major families of Forest Town used to bring their direct descendants to the banquet to look for marriage opportunities, usually bringing dozens of people, but now they had left Forest Town.


    Moore, far away in Silverwood Town, and other friends of ckwood who had business dealings, only sent a few somewhat important figures.


    This was already giving enough face to ckwood, as their n members were risking being ambushed and robbed at any time.


    Just waiting for the banquet to end.


    A group of people from Gratitude Vige entered ckwood, making a grand entrance with about a hundred people, among them the strongest being Developing Skill!


    Among those people, there was one Ethan still remembered.


    [Den]


    [Mayor of Forest Town, ignored the twenty-year drought, indulged in luxury behind closed doors. During the great battle of Forest, he stayed out of it, waiting for things to settle before stepping forward. Both sects caused disasters, Jubilee County invaded, people were disced, yet he entertained experts from Jubilee County.]


    This man had the appearance of a ''gentle, respectful, frugal, and yielding'' gentleman, which left a good impression at first nce.


    But in Ethan''s view, whether it was for self-preservation or not.


    Just this bird sitting in the mayor''s position, so ipetent and opportunistic, he didn''t deserve the title ''human''.


    Watching the neers.


    Ethan''s hand was already on the mouse, ready to activate the Forebearer cards at any moment, he even nced at thest major offering sent to the Forebearer shrine—the Celestial Star Seeker.


    Those were two humanoid AI Bionic Robots, expressionless, standing in the Forebearer shrine with closed eyes for over three years, already covered in dust!


    Developing Skill?


    The Developing Skilling to ckwood, Ethan was not afraid at all!


    ...


    As for Den bringing people from the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion, the people of ckwood were also very nervous, and in an instant, the whole of ckwood was on alert.


    But the old man from Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion, with Developing Skill and a youthful face, asionally raised his eyebrows lightly, then furrowed them, looking veryplex.


    Not yet at Gratitude Vige.


    He spotted the blood psychic fruit tree that had grown to nearly 40 feet!


    This thing had already borne fruit, with specks of psychic power, and its branches swayed.


    "An eighth-grade psychic tree, already possessing psychic intelligence, a newly born demon nt, if given enough resources for hundreds of years, it could be seventh-grade, if only Developing Skill."


    Just as he had a crooked thought.


    Dennis stepped on the ground, already sensing a formation in the earth, his Developing Skill spirit entered the void, and he sensed that the entire ckwood, even Gratitude Vige, was enveloped by arge formation, this formation made his Developing Skill abdomen tremble slightly. He could no longer probe this formation deeply, only feeling danger.


    "This... How could such a small family have such a formation?"


    Dennis squinted his eyes, continuing to follow Den inside.


    Within a walledpound, there were children cultivating psychic powers, and he recognized from the intelligence the one leading the children. His name was Daniel, also mentioned in the intelligence as a breakthrough point for invading ckwood, a rare fool.


    But...


    He practiced a technique of observing fate through qi, although only learning the basics, even the elders of the ck Shell Sect came to ask him about the future. He was also adept at calcting celestial fortunes, sacrificing his lifespan to secure a ce for Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion.


    Now, however, he could see that this child Daniel had a fate and opportunity like white stone, like the legendary golden boy and jade girl, pure and untainted, naturally suited for cultivating psychic powers, such a person... was extraordinary, if killed, endless troubles would follow!


    "Sss~"


    Dennis took a sharp breath.


    Moving forward, I came upon the ckwood Hall of ck Blood. This year, they already had five hundred members, all d in ck iron beast blood armor, trained in the ways of the military. If I wasn''t mistaken, they were all armed, and each one of them carried a fierce vitality...


    Although their highest cultivation was only at the seventhyer of Foundational Energy, facing them in battle would mean preparing to confront a group of battle-hardened warriors.


    I even saw a ''B'' phantom image floating above these people. For ckwood, they seemed ready to disregard everything.


    I was just surprised at how fanatical a group of ordinary people could be.


    Then I saw seven ck bears... oh no, those were people.


    The seven kids of ckwood Julian!


    Among them, regardless of gender, their aura was not as strong as Daniel''s, but their vital energies were connected, their destinies intertwined, each possessing the potential for a Transcendent Seed. If resources were avable, there was hope for Developing Skill!


    "A family of eight with Transcendent Seed realms, capable of contending with Developing Skill."


    Dennis swallowed hard.


    "ng!"


    Just then, the sound of iron forging rang out, and before he knew it, he had followed Den to the front of the Gratitude Vige Forge. The intense heat of the atmosphere was evident, with craftsmen at work.


    On the second floor, a man with a tiger''s back and bear''s waist, his face full of curly beards, stood by the window. This man, bare-chested, revealed a left arm that had be a top-grade psychic ability prosthetic limb, staring intently at him without any fear, clearly aware of his identity.


    Beside him stood a robust woman, her face square and kind, yet notcking the spirit of a heroine.


    "Julian, the father of those bears? And that woman, nearing Emerging Ability, harboring the Demon King Pill, aspiring to soar to the heavens."


    Dennis just nced and turned his head as if nothing had happened.


    But inside, he was profoundly shaken!


    "A natural psychic equipment master, his aurapared to the elders of the Qi Sect I met in the county town, is not in the least inferior."


    He saw Julian''s hammer formed from his aura!


    Approaching the ckwood family home, he could even feel Julian''s hammer, nging away at the forge, crafting weapons he himself wouldn''t dare to covet!


    Finally, a voice interrupted Dennis''s thoughts.


    A woman approached.


    Her beauty seemed to gather the favor of heaven and earth, her body possessed a psychic ability device that was gentle, yet herplexion was pale, only able to be pushed by a maid.


    "ckwood Olivia, I have heard of Mr. Dennis, the master of Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion. Olivia has long heard that Mr. Dennis is a great power of Jubilee, with Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion''s eyes and ears spread across many counties. Now that I see you, sir, you must possess the wisdom of a sage."


    Her words were like a gentle spring rain.


    But Dennis remained silent for a long time. Olivia''s aura was as weak as that of a dying person. But that slight aura, like a demon looking at people, he always felt that he was about to be torn apart by Olivia!


    Above this woman''s aura, there were dense heavenly thunders, a struggle between man and heaven, this was the cultivation of a method that wrested the creation of heaven and earth, making her aura so faint!


    "Sir?" Olivia asked again.


    "Oh, oh."


    In an instant, Dennis dared not neglect her in the slightest, changing his usual demeanor upon arrival, somewhat softly spoken and restrained, he actually bowed to Olivia, "Miss is too kind, if I''m not mistaken, you must be Olivia, the fourth daughter of ckwood?"


    "Known by Mr. Dennis, Olivia is fortunate." Olivia was polite and gracious.
