Chapter 355 - [Bonus ]Progress Over Past Few Months Part 2
Although they seemed to be in old worn-out books, once Cole streamed his energy into both of them, one of them began to glow and became as good as new.
All the words that were previously unclear and smudged were all fixed and he also seemed to be able to open it and became linked with the book after he placed his blood on it, but the other book rejected his blood and energy.
Looking at the cover, he could see some faint and smudged writing but managed to see the name Carter on it and Elizabeth instantly came to mind as he debated with himself whether to give it to her or not.
It was against the family rules to take anything out of that secret room let alone give it to somebody outside of the family, but at the same time, she was Adam's subordinate and also one of the leaders of a faction that was allied with their family.
After thinking about it, he decided that since his family and nobody else in the world had any use for it other than Elizabeth and he had also already promised her that he would give her anything to do with her family, he called her to come to Staten Island.
She was very busy, but hearing the urgency in Cole's tone, she went over as soon as he called her and she gratefully accepted the book along with most things that he found that belonged to the Carter Family.
He kept the medicinal scriptures and all the knowledge and information to do with their healing techniques, but he gave her all the skills and techniques that only she would be able to use as the direct descendant of the Carter Family.
Even if the Carter Family still lived to that day, none of them had the rare medicinal constitution that Elizabeth had and had only been seen in the ancestor of their family.
Because of that, they didn't have any unique capabilities and their combat power was too low and couldn't be carried by their ancestor alone.
Although they were a peaceful family that focused on healing and medicine, greed overcame the other great families of New York and one less family, meant more territory, resources and power for the others.
He instructed her to drip her blood onto it and instantly her body began to hungrily suck in energy after being starved of it ever since she was born since she didn't have the capability to absorb it.
After she became linked with it through her blood, her medicinal constitution was awakened after being dormant and suppressed for so long and instantly, her cultivation jumped to that of a Rank 5 Novice.
It was a big jump and her body and cultivation were still unstable, so she rested in the Epstein Family and cultivated for a week before departing back to Brooklyn.
The sentinels had begun gathering followers and taking over small cultivation organisations, groups and families and after they submit, they were given protection and they were beginning to spread throughout Staten Island and Brooklyn.
They were the territory of the Epstein and Maxwell Family and since they were allied with them, it was fine for them to do so and there was no conflict between them.
It was also benefiting them to get all the smaller cultivation groups within their territory to be unified under one faction that was allied with them and Chase was progressing incredibly quickly and faster than the rest.
He had also broken through to the Advanced Cultivation Level, had trained his Unique Skill and his Monk Inheritance had given him mana different skills, techniques and cultivation methods.
Along with his external cultivation breaking through to the Advanced Cultivation, his Internal Cultivation was close behind and all of Adam's friends were cultivating both types of cultivation.
Wayde's progress in terms of cultivation was nowhere near as fast as the others as he was nearing the peak of his potential and it could take him dozens of years and cultivation wasn't something that could be rushed for most.
Hundreds of years in the eyes of immortals were like a few years for mortals and the ancients could take over a hundred years on a single cultivation rank after reaching high cultivation levels.
Adam knew that, but his progress speed would barely slow down with him continuously gaining new abilities and power, while continuing to hunt diligently in the dungeon.
However, for most, the Advanced Cultivation Level was as far as they could go and breaking through the Advanced Cultivation Level was one of the hardest breakthroughs in the Mortal Cultivation Realm.
Despite that, Wayde's skill and ability to wield his elemental affinity was still improving and he would spar with Angela, allowing him to improve his capability against an elemental affinity that countered his own, while also helping Angela train.
All of Adam's friends were training as hard as they could to increase their power and they were not only doing it for Adam, but for themselves and for the city that they wished to protect.
With the Maxwell Family, Epstein Family and the Sentinels Faction cooperating, they had an abundance of resources, knowledge and support to continue rapidly growing and increasing their power.
The progress of Adam's friends and those behind them was alarming with their great drive that was also pushing their subordinates forth and making them a force to be reckoned with.
It was great for them and very impressive, but they were far from invincible and the power they were accumulating was causing issues around the city and also around the country.
A new contender for the throne of New York had appeared and other cultivation groups were becoming wary of the new rising alliance that could be a threat in the future.
All they could think about was progressing forwards and repaying Adam for what he had done for them, while Adam was experiencing many changes and had received many eye-opening revelations from the system.
