Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1016: The Ancestral Talent Pool

TL: Etude

Thirty thousand years had passed since Ye Tian entered seclusion.

By this point, he had been cultivating inside the True Time Pagoda for a full three hundred million years. Using countless top-tier resources, spending three hundred million years in isolation—what an unimaginable span of time that was. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

On this day.

Ye Tian finally managed to cultivate the Nine Limits True Body Technique to its highest realm, the ninth limit.

With this, the True Spirit chapter of the Nine Limits True Body Technique had reached perfection.

As for the Grand Dao chapter, Ye Tian had yet to create it. Even if he could create it, it would not be possible to cultivate it for the time being.

In terms of his physical body, Ye Tian had now reached the pinnacle.

“Finally, I’ve reached the pinnacle of True Spirit and formed the Ultimate Body!” Ye Tian sighed with emotion.

He activated his Ultimate Body, and the radiance it emitted blazed like the scorching flames of the sun.

“Hahaha, even if other True Monarchs form an Ultimate Body, their glow is usually dim. But my radiance burns like fire. If others saw it, they might not even think it’s the radiance of an Ultimate Body—they’d probably mistake it for some kind of fire-related secret technique!” Ye Tian chuckled.

With his Ultimate Body complete, the strength of his physical body had reached an unbelievable level. His combat prowess far surpassed that of the True Ancestors who had appeared at the Sunset Sect twenty-one days ago.

Had he possessed this level of strength back then, he could have easily slaughtered those thirty True Ancestors.

“I can fully break through to become a Half-Step True Ancestor now… but there’s no need to rush. My body has only just reached perfection, but my divine power and divine soul have not yet reached their peak. However, under the nourishment of the Ultimate Body, both my divine power and soul will soon improve. It won’t take long before I reach the limit in these aspects as well. At that time, once I complete the breakthrough in my embryonic Dao, I’ll naturally become a Half-Step True Ancestor.” Ye Tian thought to himself.

However, there remained a small problem—the embryonic Dao within him was far too vast, countless times larger than the embryonic Dao of others. As a result, transforming such a colossal embryonic Dao into a complete and boundless Grand Dao posed difficulties far beyond what others faced.

Even innate origin lifeforms could not help Ye Tian break through his shackles to form a perfect, infinite Grand Dao.

Nevertheless, Ye Tian had no intention of relying on the innate origin lifeforms.

In the past, he hadn’t been aware of the drawbacks associated with them. But now, after acquiring many inheritances from the Domain Realm and becoming the candidate peak master of Blackwind Mountain, he had naturally learned of the dangers.

Using an innate origin lifeform to break through and become a Half-Step True Ancestor might seem harmless at first, but it would subtly contaminate one’s origin. Over time, that contamination could become a serious issue. If it couldn’t be cleansed completely, it would damage his potential, and if he ever became a Dao Ancestor, that contamination would create problems—making it impossible to become the perfect Dao Ancestor.

For this reason, Ye Tian would never use an innate origin lifeform to break through to Half-Step True Ancestor, nor would he allow his loved ones to use one. However, he wouldn’t hesitate to let other human True Monarchs use it.

Those other True Monarchs didn’t have the same concerns as he did. They certainly wouldn’t care about such minor imperfections.

Ye Tian ended his seclusion and returned to the human race.

At that moment—

Ye Tian discovered that Xiao Yue’s strength had risen to the level of a nine-star Divine General, and she had even secured a spot in the top twenty of the Divine General Rankings.

“Beloved, I’ve improved quite a bit, haven’t I?” Xiao Yue said proudly.

Becoming a nine-star Divine General was an achievement that far surpassed her accomplishments in her previous life as a True Monarch.

“You’ve done very well, my dear Yue’er!” Ye Tian replied with a smile.

Ye Tian praised her and said, “However, Yue’er, it’s not ideal for your strength to be exposed on the Ancestral Stele. From the Blackwind Mountain inheritance, I’ve learned a shielding technique that can sever the connection between you and the Ancestral Stele. This will ensure that your strength continues to grow without being monitored by the stele.”

“Then, Husband, use that shielding technique on me!” Xiao Yue nodded.

Immediately, Ye Tian performed the shielding technique on her. He believed that he wasn’t the only one using such a method—other factions were likely employing the same technique to conceal the power of their Divine Generals.

For example, the four transcendent forces could easily send a group of Divine Generals into competition, then shield their strength so the Ancestral Stele wouldn’t detect it.

Not everyone wanted to be listed on the Divine General Rankings, as the ranking didn’t significantly enhance cultivation.

According to the records in Blackwind Mountain, those in the Divine Heaven Domain didn’t want their power monitored by artifacts like the Ancestral Stele. Otherwise, the geniuses within the sects of the Middle Three Heavens and Upper Three Heavens would be exposed. As a result, shielding techniques were born.

In the Domain Realm or the Divine Heaven Domain, artifacts like the Ancestral Stele were nearly useless. They served little purpose beyond piquing the greed of certain True Ancestors due to their harmony-enhancing function.

After severing the Ancestral Stele’s connection, Ye Tian focused entirely on nurturing Xiao Yue, aiming to raise her to the level of a ten-star Divine General. However, reaching that level was incredibly difficult and would take a long time.

He himself had spent countless years climbing to the rank of ten-star Divine General. During that time, many other Divine Generals had broken through to the Destiny Realm, leaving him behind at the Divine General level.

Years passed, and Xiao Yue’s strength advanced rapidly. She gradually reached the mid-stage of nine-star Divine General, then progressed to the late-stage nine-star Divine General.

One day—

Ye Tian received news from the Void Sky Hall that a Divine General-level competition would soon take place at the battlefield ruins.

This competition caused a great stir among all the top-tier forces, as it was being jointly organized by the four transcendent forces along with several top-tier factions. The Void Sky lineage was one of the organizers.

As the foremost True Monarch of the Void Sky Hall, Ye Tian was among the first to learn the inside story.

The reason these forces were hosting the competition at the battlefield ruins was that the ruins contained a great opportunity. However, this opportunity was only suited for Divine Generals and held no value for those at or above the Destiny Realm.

And this opportunity was something that every Divine General coveted—even to the point of risking everything.

“The Ancestral Talent Pool!”

“It’s the Ancestral Talent Pool!”

Ye Tian couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. This was an extraordinarily precious treasure, far more valuable than even his Sky-Splitting Divine Pillar.

The Ancestral Talent Pool was a treasure that even the Upper Three Heaven factions fought desperately to control. According to the records in Blackwind Mountain’s archives, the Ancestral Talent Pool accumulated just a single drop of its essence over countless years.

Thus, the Ancestral Talent Pool only opened once every long era. Each time it opened, the factions from the Upper Three Heavens monopolized all the available spots, leaving no chance for forces from the Middle or Lower Three Heavens to benefit.

“It’s strange. Why would the Ancestral Talent Pool appear in the battlefield ruins? And how did the Dao Ancestors of the Domain Realm fail to claim it?” Ye Tian was puzzled.

But then, the answer suddenly came to him.

The Ancestral Talent Pool was immovable, and those at the Destiny Realm or above were prohibited from entering.

Clearly, the Ancestral Pool had originally belonged to the factions of the Upper Three Heavens, but it lay outside any particular faction’s direct territory.

When the Domain Realm shattered and the Dao Ancestors were preoccupied with their own survival, the Ancestral Talent Pool became ownerless.

Now, the Ancestral Pool had been rediscovered by the top-tier forces.

And that was how everything had come to this point!
