BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Sect or Family
"Forebearer, your unworthy descendant plans to join Sky Sect. At Sky Sect, I will learn more powerful techniques, and once I have achieved something, I will return to serve the family!"
Marcus rushed to the ancestral hall.
But as soon as he stepped in.
Amelia followed right behind, "Hmph! What\'s so good about joining a sect? Doesn\'t Blackwood have resources, don\'t we have techniques? Have you mastered all the techniques and martial arts from Gonzalez and Garcia?"
"Auntie..."
Marcus hung his head; in the family, in Gratitude Village, he always felt like people were calling him a traitor to Blackwood, always reminded of his mother\'s betrayal of the family.
Amelia continued, "You don\'t know the methods of those sects. Once you join, they\'ll tell you that to cultivate psychic powers, you must first sever worldly ties! They\'ll use all sorts of methods to make you forget your past identity. You\'re young, you might think you won\'t believe their nonsense, but what about when you\'re actually at Sky Sect?"
"Ten years, twenty years? Will you still remember that you are a Blackwood?"
Seeing the stubborn look in Marcus\'s eyes, Amelia narrowed her eyes.
She knelt in front of the ancestral hall, "Forebearer, let me break this unfilial descendant\'s legs, then we\'ll see how he goes to Sky Sect!"
Watching the argument on the game screen.
Ethan fell into thought; what Amelia said was the reality after joining a sect.
But Ethan also understood Marcus\'s current situation. This third-generation descendant had witnessed his mother being expelled from the family, likely harboring some demons. Otherwise, with his talent and the resources provided by Blackwood, he would probably be more than just at the peak of level five.
The kid was already 14; maybe seeing the outside world would be better. Although the map hadn\'t developed the location of Sky Sect, Ethan had heard that within the sect, there were even Nascent Soul elders!
Going to Sky Sect, Marcus might become stronger than all of Blackwood, and besides, descendants have their own pursuits.
As a Forebearer, he had no reason to stop him.
"Go ahead."
Ethan clicked on the icon of the Purple Thunder Solar Python and typed in some text. In a flash, the Purple Thunder Solar Python opened its eyes and hissed.
With Ethan\'s approval, Amelia didn\'t stop him, only scolding Marcus, "You spineless thing, you\'ll regret this," before letting it be. Despite the harsh words, the folks from Blackwood still saw Marcus off, with Amelia even giving him a Storage Ring filled with medicines for protection.
Soon after Marcus left, a cry rang out, "Ahh!!!"
[Mary gave birth to a son after being pregnant for ten months, and named him Thomas!]
[Congratulations, you have received a Spiritual Tribute+10!]
"Damn, this kid looks huge right out of the gate!"
The newborn cried out as he entered the world!
At this moment, the people of Blackwood gathered again in the courtyard, with Julian spinning around holding the child!
Ethan rubbed his hands together. This guy, after getting married, was seriously into it—his wife got pregnant in just a couple of months.
Speaking of Mary, this formidable woman was no simple character. After becoming a member of Blackwood, Ethan got her personal information. Mary was only 20 years old this year, yet she had already reached Level 8 Foundational Energy, with a talent of dual Psychic Constitution!
Their son Thomas also had good potential, almost on par with Marcus, especially considering his size at birth—he was definitely a mini-Julian!
Soon, a feast was set up in the scene.
After the wedding, the people of Forest Town came to Blackwood again to join the feast.
Mark, the head of the Rodriguez family, seeing the astonishing changes in Blackwood, was even more certain that his initial choice was correct. This time, he brought a piece of jade.
"Nephew, this jade can nourish children. Keeping it close will ward off all diseases. It\'s engraved with the history of our two families, from when we first met, to fighting side by side, to now being as close as brothers!"
Seeing this, the faces of the Martinez family darkened.
Jerry gritted his teeth, "Sucking up already? Engraving the jade with the friendship of the two families, they\'re grooming this kid to have a good impression of the Rodriguez family from a young age, that old fox!"
...
In the real world, on the ocean surface.
Two days had passed since the excavation of the underwater ruins began.
The vastness of the ruins below was astonishing!
At the same time, various products from unknown eras were gradually being cleaned up by the staff.
In the history research lab.
A woman wearing glasses and a white science coat was looking at a piece of jade, her face filled with indescribable joy.
"This piece of jade was probably a special psychic equipment piece, but due to the passage of time, its psychic powers have long since faded. However, the text engraved on it is very well preserved!"
"The Great Battle of Forest... The Rodriguez family gave their all to help Blackwood win a great victory... Grandson Thomas has the potential of a great emperor..."
Orion burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, as long as I record everything about this family, my discovery will shock the world!"
Before Ethan realized it, he had been gaming for several days, especially during the takeover of Forest Town, which took up a good chunk of his day.
Now, he was munching on lunch while scrolling through the news on his phone.
"Another archaeological site discovered, huh?"
Ethan looked at the top news story with interest. Discoveries like this were no longer rare; with humanity\'s exploration of Earth and outer space, it was already known that human civilization had many epochs.
As for other news, Ethan wasn\'t too interested.
With human development, there had been both cooperation and conflicts with alien civilizations. He heard that the neighboring magical civilization had relocated from Earth after their psychic powers were depleted, and now, Earth\'s top experts were expanding light-years away. Now, they\'ve come back making noise.
And Blackwood Pharmaceuticals... he was currently the only descendant of Earth\'s Blackwood.
