Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1056: The Primordial Domain

TL: Etude

Ye Tian looked ahead, but the Dark Forbidden Domain remained pitch black. Even with his spiritual senses at the Half-Step True Ancestor Realm, he could not detect anything, and his Copy Talent could only sense creatures with specific talents, rendering it useless here.

“Master, I can’t see anything!” Ye Tian said.

“Of course you can’t!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky replied with a smile. “You’re only at the Half-Step True Ancestor Realm. Without reaching the Dao Ancestor Realm, it’s impossible to discern anything here. When I first discovered this place, I was already a Second Heaven Dao Ancestor. Unfortunately, this opportunity here is of no use to someone at the Dao Ancestor Realm.”

“Don’t resist. I’ll take you in,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky said, grabbing Ye Tian’s arm. Activating his Dao Ancestor-level power, he broke through an invisible barrier, bringing them into another small world.

“What is this place…?”

Ye Tian observed the small world around him. It was similar to the Dark Forbidden Domain, but with a hint of vitality in the air.

There was also a large black lake at the center, and on this lake floated a black lotus. The lotus had a diameter of about ten meters and was imbued with the energy of the Dark Forbidden Domain, exerting a heavy pressure on Ye Tian.

“This is an extremely rare Primordial Domain within the Dark Forbidden Domain!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained.

“A Primordial Domain?” Ye Tian asked, still puzzled.

Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained, “You’re familiar with the Divine Heaven Domain and our own domain, right? In reality, our domain doesn’t have an official name. No one has ever named it, as there’s been no need. If we had to call it something, we could name it the Dao Mountain Domain, since Dao Ancestor Dao Mountain pioneered our cultivation system. It would be a deserved honor.

Within the Dark Forbidden Domain, there are many domains that are mostly isolated from each other. But as for how domains came to be, do you think they were created from the beginning? Perhaps some domains were indeed created by supreme beings, but most domains must have formed naturally over time.

After countless years of research, I discovered that domains evolve from Primordial Domains.

The Dark Forbidden Domain contains many Primordial Domains. A rare few have the potential to grow, continually evolving until they become fully-fledged domains.

The Primordial Domain before us belongs to the type that cannot grow, but its value is beyond imagination!”

With these words, Ye Tian finally understood the value of a Primordial Domain.

“Master, doesn’t this Primordial Domain serve as a perfect base? We could establish a powerful force here, similar to the Forbidden Palace!” Ye Tian suggested.

“Impossible!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky shook his head. “The power of the Dark Forbidden Domain here is beyond my control. Staying here might be somewhat better than the Forbidden Domain itself, but even a True Ancestor cannot survive here long. How could anyone cultivate here? I, too, cannot practice peacefully in such an environment. The realm where the Forbidden Palace resides was created by the Forbidden Palace Master, and it lacks the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain, which is why a transcendent force can exist there.”

“Master, you mentioned letting me gain the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain. How would I go about doing that?” Ye Tian asked eagerly.

“Go to that black lotus,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky instructed. “Sit cross-legged on it, consume one of its seeds, and endure the invasion of the Dark Forbidden Power from the lake. If you can withstand it, you will transform all of your divine power into Dark Forbidden Divine Power.

If that happens, once you reach the True Ancestor Realm, your True Ancestral Force will possess the attributes of the Dark Forbidden Domain, making it several times stronger than ordinary True Ancestral Force! Furthermore, you’ll have the chance to cultivate the Forbidden Physique.”

“What is the Forbidden Physique?” Ye Tian asked, intrigued.

“Long ago, no one knew of the Forbidden Physique. But countless years ago, the master of the Forbidden Palace fought Dao Ancestor Dao Mountain. With the strength of a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor, he managed to hold his own against the Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor, thanks to his Forbidden Physique. Dao Ancestor Dao Mountain could do nothing against him.

From that battle, the secrets of the Forbidden Physique were exposed.

By tempering one’s body with the power of the Dark Forbidden Domain, one can form the Forbidden Physique. This surpasses all other constitutions in the world; only certain powers can damage it.

If you manage to cultivate the Forbidden Physique, even though you are only at the Half-Step True Ancestor Realm now, no top-tier True Ancestor could kill you—they could only seal you!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained.

“What?! The Forbidden Physique is that powerful?” Ye Tian was stunned.

He was fully aware of the strength of top-tier True Ancestors. With his current power, he would likely be killed instantly by one of them.

But if he possessed the Forbidden Physique, no top-tier True Ancestor could kill him. What kind of concept was that? Although he could still be sealed, as long as he had speed and enough abilities, he wouldn’t need to fear top-tier True Ancestors. In fact, as long as a Dao Ancestor didn’t intervene, he would have nothing to fear.

“Master, is it dangerous?” Ye Tian asked.

“Of course it’s dangerous!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky said seriously. “To be honest, if I were at the Half-Step True Ancestor Realm, I probably wouldn’t have succeeded and would have perished here.

But once you reach the True Ancestor Realm, your True Ancestral Force becomes fixed and cannot be changed! True Ancestral Force is essentially a preliminary form of Dao power, and once it takes shape, there’s no way to alter it.

Therefore, only at the Half-Step True Ancestor Realm can one attempt to harness the Dark Forbidden Power. Only then will the power have the forbidden attribute upon becoming a True Ancestor! Based on my calculations, no one else in the Void Sky lineage has a chance, but you do.

Though I don’t fully understand how you might master the Dark Forbidden Power, I still brought you here.

If you truly can’t manage it, then don’t try.

Once you start, there’s no way to stop midway!”

Ye Tian fell silent, contemplating whether he should attempt it.

Suddenly, his eyes shone with determination, and he declared, “Master, I’m willing to give it a try!”

“Are you confident?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky asked.

“I have some confidence!” Ye Tian replied quickly. “I possess a unique talent that allows me to manifest a clone identical to my original self. I can use the clone to test it first.”

“Can a clone really work?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky expressed some doubt.

In his opinion, a clone could never compare to the original body. A clone was merely a projection of power and not an actual physical body. Even though some special clone techniques could be used to cultivate, they could never replace the original body.

But the moment Ye Tian’s clone appeared, Dao Ancestor Void Sky was astonished.

“It’s identical!”

He could confirm that under his scrutiny, Ye Tian’s clone was indistinguishable from his original body. Every cell’s aura, every fluctuation of laws and power, and even the soul’s essence were identical, like an exact replica.

“What kind of clone is this…?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky wanted to ask, but he refrained, knowing this was Ye Tian’s secret. Since Ye Tian trusted him enough to reveal this, he wouldn’t pry further.

“Give it a try!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky agreed.

With a swish, Ye Tian’s replicated body flew towards the black lotus.

Dao Ancestor Void Sky wasn’t aware that Ye Tian’s Copy Talent created a clone identical to his original self, without any difference. If this clone succeeded in mastering the Dark Forbidden Power, his original body would gain it as well.

Ye Tian picked a lotus seed from the black lotus and swallowed it, beginning the process of refining it.

Boom! The lake surged with Dark Forbidden Power, and a vast amount of this dark energy poured into Ye Tian’s body.

The tempering began!

“Aahh!!”

An infinite wave of pain assaulted him, similar to the agony he had experienced when using his Copy Talent, but magnified a thousand or even ten thousand times.

Had it not been for Ye Tian’s immensely strong soul and his tolerance far exceeding his previous limits, he would have already fainted or even had his soul shattered.

Under these circumstances, refining the Dark Forbidden Power seemed as difficult as ascending the heavens.

“Damn, this is insane! How did the Forbidden Palace Master succeed?” Ye Tian thought. He had every reason to suspect that the Forbidden Palace Master must have obtained some incredible inheritance or treasure to be able to access and control the Dark Forbidden Power at the Half-Step True Ancestor Realm and to find a Primordial Domain like this.

But Ye Tian had nothing—only himself!

Not long after, with a loud explosion, Ye Tian’s clone failed to contain the Dark Forbidden Power, and it burst apart, devoured by the dark energy. He had fallen!

“Failed!”

Yet Ye Tian wasn’t disappointed. Instead, he felt a glimmer of hope.

Now he had gained experience, and the next attempt would surely go better.

“Master, I can only use this talent once every ten thousand years. I need to enter an accelerated time environment to pass that time quickly!” Ye Tian explained.

Dao Ancestor Void Sky immediately set up a time-acceleration formation for him, personally controlling the array to speed up time by a factor of 100,000. In just over a month, Ye Tian had experienced ten thousand years.

Emerging from the accelerated time environment, Ye Tian replicated himself once more and began his second attempt!
