Hi, just a short question: If i reveal a card with Descendants' Path  , can my opponent stop it from entering the battlefield with something like Thought Scour  ? Personally, i think it's one triggered event, not two, but I might be wrong. Thanks

No. Once the ability starts resolving, it finishes resolving in its entirety. If your opponent wants to cast thought scour, he can, but he does so before you reveal the card.

no

it is one triggered ability on the stack that is resolving, it may actually contain multiple game events, but that is irrelevant to your question
the important detail is that your opponent needs priority (or have some specific permission) to cast a spell
and no one has priority while the ability is resolving
and Descendant's Path does not give him specific permission to cast a spell
and therefore he can't cast it once the ability starts resolving until after it is completely finished resolving
in case you're curious about what gives specific permission to cast a spell without priority
here are some examples
Djinn of Wishes  activated ability
Wild Evocation  triggered ability
Brilliant Ultimatum  spell
cascade  triggered ability
