Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1043: Hope for Upgrading the Copy Talent!

TL: Etude

Within the Green Life Tribe, True Ancestors were referred to as Sacred Ancestors. They were further divided into Ordinary Sacred Ancestors, Great Sacred Ancestors, and Patriarchs. A Patriarch stood just beneath the rank of Dao Ancestor. The entire Green Life Tribe possessed only a handful of these Patriarchs, illustrating how difficult it was to progress beyond the True Ancestor level within this tribe.

The majority of the tribe’s population were of the Soldier-tier, equivalent to the True Monarch level in the outside world. Above the Soldier-tier were the Guard-tier, comparable to a Half-Step True Ancestor. However, the Green Life Tribe did not use the term “Half-Step True Ancestor.” Instead, they believed that those on the path of Half-Step True Ancestors were destined to become True Ancestors eventually. In contrast, these “guards” didn’t necessarily achieve Sacred Ancestor status.

This distinction highlighted the gap between guard-tier warriors and Half-Step True Ancestors. Despite this, ordinary Half-Step True Ancestors often couldn’t compete with guards. In fact, some top-tier soldiers could even hold their own in battles against Half-Step True Ancestors.

Ye Tian also learned that the Sacred Ancestors within the Green Life Tribe typically remained in slumber, drawing energy from the outside world to nourish their land. Without this, the land would likely collapse or perish.

Because of this, the guards regularly patrolled the area to prevent intrusions and protect everything within.

Thus, as long as Ye Tian remained cautious, the Sacred Ancestors, Great Sacred Ancestors, and Patriarchs wouldn’t personally come after him.

The tribe’s most sacred place was the Life Divine Mountain. It was said that the Green Life Tribe had originated from this mountain. However, even the guards weren’t allowed to enter this divine mountain, as it was considered forbidden ground, hiding deep secrets about the tribe.

Even Meng Jiu didn’t understand the mysteries of the Life Divine Mountain, and discussions about it were strictly prohibited within the tribe.

“If I could just enter the Life Divine Mountain…”

Ye Tian thought, realizing that doing so might allow him to uncover the tribe’s deepest secrets.

Ye Tian had refrained from killing Meng Jiu. If he did, the tribe would likely discover Meng Jiu’s death and launch an investigation, increasing Ye Tian’s chances of being exposed.

Currently, Meng Jiu remained trapped in an endless illusion world. Unless Ye Tian released the spell, it would be extremely difficult for Meng Jiu to awaken. Therefore, by sealing and taking him away, Ye Tian could avoid exposure.

Before long, Ye Tian properly dealt with Meng Jiu, sealing him inside a half-Dao Artifact that served as a spatial treasure.

Capturing Meng Jiu not only provided Ye Tian with crucial information but also earned him six Harmony treasures.

This proved just how wealthy the Green Life Tribe was. Even an ordinary guard carried six Harmony treasures. If that were the case, how unimaginably rich must the Sacred Ancestors, Great Sacred Ancestors, and Patriarchs be?

“If Harmony treasures could help the Green Life Tribe become Dao Ancestors, they would have long become an unstoppable force!” Ye Tian sighed.

Unfortunately, the rules of cultivation limited such treasures. Harmony treasures were effective for most cultivators but provided only limited benefits to the Green Life Tribe. For them, Harmony treasures merely enhanced their essence, qi, and spirit, along with helping them cultivate certain secret techniques focusing on the unity of these aspects.

In the following days, Ye Tian continued to hide within the Green Life Tribe’s domain, hunting down lone guard-tier warriors and sealing them one by one. Occasionally, he encountered some soldier-tier warriors and captured them as well.

This method allowed Ye Tian to accumulate a large number of Harmony treasures.

Logically, leaving now would be the safest option, but the sheer abundance of Harmony treasures and the hidden mysteries tempted him to stay.

For example, the question of how the Green Life Tribe managed to cultivate to the Dao level intrigued him greatly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

What exactly was the origin of this place?

These were crucial questions. If he left now, he might never get another opportunity to explore them.

However, with more and more guard-tier and soldier-tier warriors disappearing, the Green Life Tribe began to sense something was amiss.

They weren’t foolish—missing warriors, with no way to contact them, would certainly raise concerns.

Slowly, the tribe started suspecting that an outsider had infiltrated their world. In the past, creatures from the Abyss occasionally broke in, and the tribe would kill them without hesitation, treating them as little more than beasts. Thus, they always remained on high alert against Abyssal creatures.

This time, the situation was different. With a large number of tribe members disappearing, the circumstances were unlike anything the Green Life Tribe had encountered before. As a result, they were at a loss for how to respond and had no choice but to dispatch even more guards to search for the missing individuals.

For safety, each search party consisted of at least a hundred guard-tier warriors, led by the most elite among them.

However, Ye Tian could easily detect the presence of these guard-tier patrols. As long as he didn’t want to reveal himself, it was extremely difficult for them to locate him.

That day,

Ye Tian ventured deeper into the core region of the Green Life Tribe, where Tree Cities stood.

Tree Cities were settlements built atop colossal trees. The Green Life Tribe heavily relied on wood-element energy, and their world contained many divine trees that were even larger than stars. These massive trees were more than sufficient to serve as the foundations for cities.

Cultivating within such cities greatly accelerated their progress.

Almost every Tree City was overseen by a Sacred Ancestor, who would rotate between states of slumber to ensure that at least one or more Sacred Ancestors remained awake at all times to safeguard the city.

The moment Ye Tian set foot in the core region, his expression shifted, filled with astonishment, disbelief—and even excitement.

He sensed a change in his Copy Talent. Something in the surroundings was subtly drawing his talent toward it. This sensation had been absent for a long time, and it could only mean one thing: he had discovered a treasure capable of evolving his Copy Talent!

Ye Tian had long searched for such a treasure to upgrade his talent, but without success.

And now, against all odds, he had detected it—an opportunity. A rare, life-altering opportunity that could change everything for him.

Ye Tian owed his current power entirely to his Copy Talent. If he could upgrade it again, the implications were staggering. It could mean the possibility of surpassing the Dao Ancestor level and reaching the realm of the Domain Ancestor.

“I must obtain that treasure!” Ye Tian swore silently.

With renewed determination, he followed the faint pull of the sensation, carefully advancing through the core region of the Green Life Tribe.

Finally, he pinpointed the treasure’s location—the Life Divine Mountain!

Ye Tian furrowed his brow.

The Life Divine Mountain was a forbidden area, highly revered by the Green Life Tribe. Although no one was permitted to enter it, the tribe guarded the mountain with utmost vigilance.

Based on the information from Meng Jiu and his interrogation of other guards, the area surrounding the Life Divine Mountain was defended by at least a hundred Sacred Ancestors and Great Sacred Ancestors. Moreover, one of the tribe’s Patriarchs remained awake at all times to oversee its protection.

With such overwhelming forces guarding the Life Divine Mountain, Ye Tian had no hope of entering it by force.

“Unless…”

An idea struck him.

The Innate Reincarnation talent!

This Dao-level core talent would allow him to temporarily reincarnate into a completely new life form, with the ability to cancel the reincarnation at will.

This meant he could transform into a member of the Green Life Tribe, perfectly concealing himself from their higher-ups.

However, there was a catch. In his reincarnated state, he would be extremely weak and would need to cultivate step by step to reach the guard-tier.

Because his true spirit essence remained at the Half-Step True Ancestor level, he wouldn’t be able to ascend to the Sacred Ancestor level within the tribe. But that wouldn’t matter—reaching the guard-tier would be enough.

As long as he avoided reckless actions, he could blend into the tribe, giving him a chance to infiltrate the Life Divine Mountain and uncover its secrets, including the mysterious treasure that would greatly enhance his power.

After careful consideration, Ye Tian resolved to activate the Innate Reincarnation talent and infiltrate the Green Life Tribe.
