Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1017: Dao-level Core Talent
TL: Etude
“The Ancestral Talent Pool… Even in the Domain Realm, there are only a few places like this. Who would have thought a battlefield ruin would contain one? This is unbelievable. The gods of fortune are surely smiling on the Divine Generals this time. If they can enter the Ancestral Talent Pool, they’ll be completely transformed!” Ye Tian sighed in admiration.
Others might not fully understand the significance of the Ancestral Talent Pool, but he did.
The Ancestral Talent Pool allowed weak beings to awaken a core talent—one of Dao-level no less.
Dao-level core talents were incredibly special. The weaker ones might only compare to God-level talents, but the stronger ones could exceed even Super God-level, reaching an unprecedented realm.
Within Chaos, Super God-level talents represented the limit—there was almost no way to advance beyond that. But Dao-level talents were the exception.
However, Dao-level talents couldn’t be born naturally. They could only be created through the Ancestral Talent Pool.
That was why the Ancestral Talent Pool was so valuable.
“According to the records from the Blackwind Mountain Archive, a Dao-level talent grants direct access to the power of the Grand Dao itself. With such power serving as one’s talent, even a cultivator at the True Monarch stage could practice Dao techniques and unleash some of their might!”
Although Ye Tian possessed formidable strength now, he couldn’t yet cultivate Dao techniques. At the very least, he would need to reach the True Ancestor realm before he could hope to master even one Dao technique.
But someone with a Dao-level talent could cultivate Dao techniques as early as the True Monarch stage. How terrifying was that?
Thus, anyone possessing a Dao-level talent was considered a true prodigy. Even if they were lacking in other aspects, the mere possession of a Dao-level talent made up for everything.
Additionally, the Divine Generals who could enter the Ancestral Talent Pool were among the top geniuses of the Domain Realm. Apart from those with powerful backgrounds, only Divine Generals with a ten-star ranking had the qualifications to enter.
After all, the Ancestral Talent Pool couldn’t transform a large number of individuals. It took countless years of accumulation just to modify a few Divine Generals.
Each spot in the Ancestral Talent Pool was far more precious than even a spot on the Ancestral Steles used to promote Dao Ancestors.
In the Domain Realm, the Ancestral Stele quotas held no appeal for the Middle Three Heavens or Upper Three Heavens factions—they didn’t care about such things. But not a single force in the Upper Three Heavens would ignore the Ancestral Talent Pool.
“Yue’er is currently at the Divine General level. She can enter the Ancestral Talent Pool without issue!” Ye Tian spoke excitedly.
If they were in the Domain Realm, someone like his wife Xiao Yue, who had reincarnated, wouldn’t have been eligible to compete for a spot in the Ancestral Talent Pool. The Upper Three Heavens factions would never allow a reincarnated individual to contend for those slots. But with the Dao Ancestors unable to leave their seclusion right now, no one would be able to interfere.
This presented a rare opportunity. At the same time, Ye Tian pondered a crucial question:
Would he be able to copy a core talent? If it were possible, the appearance of the Ancestral Talent Pool would be an extraordinary opportunity for him.
Once the Divine Generals emerged from the pool, he could copy all their Dao-level core talents.
If he could possess multiple Dao-level talents, he would be able to master various Dao techniques. His strength at the True Monarch level would undoubtedly reach an inconceivable degree.
Moreover, Ye Tian firmly believed that the benefits of a Dao-level core talent went far beyond simply cultivating Dao techniques at the True Monarch stage. Otherwise, the Upper Three Heavens factions wouldn’t be so obsessed with the Ancestral Talent Pool, willing to go to any lengths for it. They even barred the Middle and Lower Three Heavens factions from gaining access to the pool.
“If the Upper Three Heavens factions find out that the Ancestral Talent Pool has fallen into the hands of people from our domain, they’ll undoubtedly go mad. But since they currently can’t emerge from seclusion, they probably won’t dare pay the price to force their way out. There’s nothing they can do!” Ye Tian thought to himself.
The Ancestral Talent Pool held immense importance, and it was likely that the four transcendent forces all coveted it. Unfortunately, the pool couldn’t be moved, and now that it had been exposed, no single force could monopolize it.
Additionally, the true strength of the four transcendent forces resided within Chaos, and their counterparts within the quasi-Dao Realm were actually not that powerful—some didn’t even match the strength of top-tier factions.
Because of this, no single force could seize exclusive control over the Ancestral Talent Pool. It had to be shared, and access was granted through a competition among the Divine Generals. Those who performed well would earn a spot in the pool.
“Yue’er, the Ancestral Talent Pool is about to open. Are you planning to participate?” Ye Tian sought out Xiao Yue and explained the situation to her.
“Of course I will!” Xiao Yue responded immediately.
After hearing Ye Tian’s account, she understood just how powerful a Dao-level core talent was. If she managed to obtain such a talent, the benefits would be overwhelming.
Moreover, just by entering the Ancestral Talent Pool, her potential would increase significantly. Every Divine General aspired to step into the pool. She was no exception.
“Yue’er, you’re currently at the peak of nine-star Divine General. But in Chaos, there are countless Divine Generals of similar rank. The four transcendent forces are sure to have multiple peak nine-star Divine Generals—far more than just one or two. With your current strength, it won’t be easy to secure a spot. You should aim to become a ten-star Divine General.” Ye Tian advised her carefully.
“Dear, there’s not enough time. As you said, we have to register now, and the competition for access to the Ancestral Talent Pool will start in just a few years. Even if we use a time formation, that’s not enough time for me to break through to ten-star Divine General.” Xiao Yue shook her head.
Ye Tian understood this as well. It had taken him a long time to advance from peak nine-star to ten-star Divine General. A breakthrough in just a few years was highly unlikely—but not entirely impossible.
“Yue’er, take this.”
Ye Tian produced a Heavenly Soul Pill and handed it to her.
The Heavenly Soul Pill was refined from the Heavenly Soul Fruit, and a single pill could allow a person’s soul to experience the equivalent of ten thousand years in an instant. Not only that, but it would also grant an extreme enhancement to one’s comprehension ability during that period.
With the effects of the Heavenly Soul Pill, Xiao Yue would be able to push her secret arts and divine abilities to their peak mastery. She could even gain deeper insights into body-refinement techniques, potentially raising them to a higher level.
Although body-refinement techniques required gradual accumulation, if she thoroughly comprehended them in advance, she could quickly progress by using a time formation and refining resources afterward.
Thus, the Heavenly Soul Pill would be enough to help Xiao Yue shatter her bottleneck and ascend to the rank of ten-star Divine General.
While giving a Heavenly Soul Pill to someone at the Divine General stage was wasteful, the opportunity to obtain a Dao-level core talent made it worth the expense.
“With this Heavenly Soul Pill, I’m confident I’ll break through the bottleneck and become a ten-star Divine General!” Xiao Yue brimmed with confidence.
Without delay, she consumed the Heavenly Soul Pill, and Ye Tian stood guard to protect her during the process.
The pill’s effects manifested rapidly, and Xiao Yue’s soul began to experience the passage of ten thousand years in an instant.
In just a short while, Xiao Yue had lived through ten thousand years.
