Not long after Ye Tian returned, an unexpected visitor arrived.
“Master!”
Ye Tian was astonished. It was his long-absent master, Dao Ancestor Void Sky.
Previously, even when a major event like the Ancestral Talent Pool of Talents took place, his master, Dao Ancestor Void Sky, hadn’t appeared. And now, as soon as Ye Tian emerged from the Infinite Abyss Fragment, his master showed up.
It wasn’t his master’s true body but one of his incarnations, the very Dao Ancestor incarnation that had been in secluded cultivation within the battlefield ruins.
What surprised Ye Tian even more was that his master’s aura had grown far stronger than before; this wasn’t an illusion but a real sensation.
“Master, have you broken through?” Ye Tian asked.
His master, Dao Ancestor Void Sky, had been at the Third Heaven of the Dao Ancestor Realm before. If he had indeed broken through, that would make him a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor, an existence of extraordinary power within this domain.
Currently, the only known Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor was the supreme first Dao Ancestor of the Dao Mountain Sect—Dao Ancestor Dao Mountain. This fact alone illustrated how mighty a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor was within this realm.
“Not completely yet,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky replied with a smile. “But I’ve already found a way. Before long, I should be able to reach the Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor Realm.”
“So, Master, what brings you here now?” Ye Tian asked, more curious than ever. In such a state, his master ought to be in secluded cultivation, not roaming around.
“Because of you!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky said. “You emerged from the Infinite Abyss Fragment. Knowing you, you wouldn’t come out unless you’d gained a good haul of treasures. Moreover, I heard that you slaughtered quite a few abyssal creatures from the Beastmaster Sect down there, and must’ve acquired quite a few Harmony Treasures!”
“Master, you’re not here to claim my Harmony Treasures, are you?” Ye Tian rolled his eyes.
“How many can you spare?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky grew serious. “The Void Sky lineage truly needs Harmony Treasures right now. But I won’t take them from you for free. We’ll trade them with treasures and opportunities worthy of their value.”
“I should be able to offer a good amount. Name a number, Master, and I’ll see if I can manage,” Ye Tian replied ambiguously.
Dao Ancestor Void Sky was stunned.
Judging by Ye Tian’s tone, he must’ve amassed quite a collection of Harmony Treasures; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so casual about it.
The conditions within the Infinite Abyss had already been mostly explored. Though there were Harmony Treasures to be found, they were scarce. There might be more in the core area, but that territory belonged to the Abyss Lords. No force dared send even a half-step True Ancestor to challenge them—doing so would mean certain death.
“Do you have ten Harmony Treasures?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky proposed a number.
In his view, ten would already be an impressive amount. With a bit of luck, they could create twenty or thirty Dao Ancestors; without it, at least ten should be attainable. Currently, the entire Void Sky lineage didn’t even have ten Dao Ancestors!
“Ten? Certainly!” Ye Tian affirmed without hesitation, entirely unperturbed, which piqued Dao Ancestor Void Sky’s curiosity even more.
He asked, “How about fifty?”
“Yes!” Ye Tian nodded again.
At this, Dao Ancestor Void Sky took a deep breath and asked, almost in disbelief, “Then… three hundred?”
“Yes!” Ye Tian nodded yet again.
“How many Harmony Treasures do you actually have?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky finally couldn’t resist asking, his curiosity overflowing.
“It’s more than Master expected,” Ye Tian admitted. “But the Harmony Treasures I obtained aren’t very potent. Most of them only increase effectiveness by about ten to twenty percent. Even if multiple Harmony Treasures are used together, the combined effect may only reach sixty to seventy percent—perhaps just fifty percent.”
“How about this,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky proposed, pausing for a moment. “I’ll place an initial order for 300 Harmony Treasures from you. If that’s not enough, we’ll order another batch. How does that sound?”
“That works,” Ye Tian agreed. Then, he asked, “Master, do we truly have so many Pinnacle True Ancestors in our Void Sky lineage?”
“Of course we do!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky replied with a smile. “The Void Sky lineage has existed for countless ages, so naturally, many True Ancestors have been born over time. Some of these True Ancestors, having lost hope of breaking through, have put themselves into a state of self-imposed slumber. Because of this, there is a large number of top-tier True Ancestors in the Void Sky lineage.
This time, with the discovery of Harmony Treasures in the Infinite Abyss Fragment, all the top-tier forces have gone mad. Otherwise, with so many half-step True Ancestors perishing in the Infinite Abyss, why would these top forces keep sending more half-step True Ancestors in there, knowing the risk? Their real goal is to seize the relics of the Infinite Abyss, allowing them to secure a large stock of Harmony Treasures and produce a significant number of Dao Ancestors for their factions.
Compared to those forces, our Void Sky lineage is quite weak. But if we can produce a large number of Dao Ancestors, and if I can break through to the Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor Realm, there’s hope for Void Sky lineage to become the fifth transcendent force!”
“As your disciple, I fully support you and the Void Sky lineage,” Ye Tian said with a grin. “But the price…?”
He fixed his gaze on Dao Ancestor Void Sky, clearly hoping his master would offer him a grand opportunity and significant rewards, not just some ordinary resources that wouldn’t be of much use to him.
“Here’s what I propose: the Void Sky lineage has a total of 39 Dao technique inheritances, plus another 26 Dao techniques I acquired from the battlefield ruins. All of these can be passed down to you.
One Dao technique inheritance for each Harmony Treasure. How does that sound?
As for the rest of the Harmony Treasures, we’ll exchange them for the Void Sky lineage’s secret manuals, cultivation insights, and various wondrous and rare treasures.
Furthermore, for the Harmony Treasures exchanged with you, the treasures of those top-tier True Ancestors will also be split, with half going to you.”
After listing all these benefits, Dao Ancestor Void Sky suddenly grew serious and said, “I will also offer you a truly grand opportunity—one located in the Dark Forbidden Domain!”
“The grand opportunity of the Dark Forbidden Domain!!!” Ye Tian took a deep breath, truly stunned.
The Dark Forbidden Domain was unimaginably mysterious; even Dao Ancestors dared not enter it lightly, and Domain Ancestors themselves might not fully comprehend its secrets.
The tiniest opportunity within such a mysterious place would be enough to drive Dao Ancestors to madness, and yet Dao Ancestor Void Sky intended to grant him a grand opportunity from the Dark Forbidden Domain!
“Hold on, don’t get too excited yet,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky cautioned. “This opportunity does involve danger. If it weren’t for the fact that your potential is so immense, and that you’ve offered such a significant benefit to the Void Sky lineage this time, I wouldn’t be giving you this opportunity. But right now, I can’t think of a better one for you.”
“For now, focus on advancing to True Ancestor. Only when the Void Sky lineage has produced a substantial number of Dao Ancestors will I have the chance to take you to the Dark Forbidden Domain. As for the nature of this opportunity, it relates to the secret of the Dark Forbidden Domain itself. Do you know what the purest power in all creation is?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky asked, his gaze intense.
“I don’t know,” Ye Tian replied, shaking his head.
“It’s the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain.” Dao Ancestor Void Sky’s expression grew solemn. “The Dark Forbidden Domain is a vast, boundless realm, akin to an endless sea. Our domains—and even the Divine Heaven Domain—are nothing more than isolated islands in this sea.
The cultivation systems in each domain vary, as do the systems of power. Some types of power from one domain become greatly weakened in others—or in the Dark Forbidden Domain. But the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain is different. Once you’ve mastered it, it remains equally potent everywhere; the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain is truly eternal and pure!
Do you know how to wield the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky stared intently at Ye Tian as he asked.
Ye Tian shook his head, indicating his lack of understanding.
“To be honest, even I haven’t mastered the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain. Many Dao Ancestors have tried and failed, some even perishing within the Dark Forbidden Domain.
“One of the transcendent forces, the Forbidden Palace, has established a base on the outskirts of the Dark Forbidden Domain because its Palace Master has mastered the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain.
“As for me, I have a method to help you gain this power, but it must be done before you advance to True Ancestor. Once you reach True Ancestor, it will no longer be possible!”
With this explanation, Ye Tian finally understood.
Ye Tian then took out the 300 Harmony Treasures, and Dao Ancestor Void Sky immediately bestowed upon him several Dao technique inheritances, treasures, and resources.
This, however, was only the deposit; more resources would be delivered to him gradually.

Hi everyone, the second chapter will be a bit late today. Sorry!
