Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1058: Mysterious Ancient Realm, Complete!

TL: Etude

Boom!

The entire quasi-Dao Realm trembled, continuously absorbing chaos yuan qi from the depths of Chaos, expanding at a frenzied pace.

For countless beings, this was a good sign, but soon, the Dao Ancestors sensed something was amiss.

This didn’t appear to be the typical path toward elevation into a Dao Realm. “Strange. According to our calculations, the quasi-Dao Realm shouldn’t evolve into a Dao Realm for at least billions of years. So why is this happening now?”

“It’s definitely not becoming a Dao Realm. We all know the signs of such an elevation. When a Dao Realm emerges, the essence of the Grand Dao descends, bestowing a name upon it. None of that is happening here!”

“If it isn’t advancing to a Dao Realm, yet it is advancing, then what is it becoming? Beyond the quasi-Dao Realm, there should only be the Dao Realm, right?”

Many Dao Ancestors were bewildered; this situation was unprecedented! Suddenly—

A Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor from the Forbidden Palace, Dao Ancestor Blood Crystal, spoke up. “This isn’t a Dao Realm evolution; it’s becoming an Ancient Realm!”

“An Ancient Realm?” Numerous Dao Ancestors looked puzzled. They’d never heard of an ‘Ancient Realm’ before. Although some worlds bore the title of ‘Ancient Realm,’ it clearly wasn’t the same as the one Dao Ancestor Blood Crystal referred to. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

“What exactly is an Ancient Realm?” Dao Ancestor Heavenly Mountain of Dao Mountain inquired.

Many Dao Ancestors were astonished by his question. Dao Ancestor Heavenly Mountain was the second leader of Dao Mountain, the strongest faction in existence. Its foundations ran even deeper than those of the Forbidden Palace! Yet even he didn’t know of the Ancient Realm.

Dao Ancestor Blood Crystal chuckled and replied, “It’s not surprising that you haven’t heard of it. In the Forbidden Palace, we frequently roam the Dark Forbidden Domain, so we have a broader perspective. The so-called Ancient Realm resembles the Dao Realm, except for one significant difference: its laws aren’t governed by the domain’s rules.

This means that once the Ancient Realm is formed, even the origin of the Chaos Grand Dao in our domain cannot penetrate it.

Each Ancient Realm has its own unique laws, though I don’t know the laws of the one forming before us.

However, all Ancient Realms share a common trait: they limit Dao Ancestors! For example, we can enter Dao Realms, but Ancient Realms forcibly suppress us.”

“As for the formation of an Ancient Realm, we in the Forbidden Palace have a theory: it requires the sacrifice of countless treasures to forcibly twist a quasi-Dao Realm into an Ancient Realm.

It’s rumored that in certain domains, some factions avoid creating Dao Realms, fearing the interference of Dao Ancestors. But if an Ancient Realm is formed, Dao Ancestors are barred from entering it.

Once powerful formations are set around the Ancient Realm, ordinary Dao Ancestors won’t be able to break through.

So, the Ancient Realm makes an ideal headquarters for certain factions!

Furthermore, an Ancient Realm can continue to evolve—into a Primeval Realm, an Archaic Realm, and even an Ultimate Ancient Realm. Beyond the Ultimate Ancient Realm lies the Domain Realm.

Whether it’s an Ancient Realm or a Dao Realm, the ultimate stage of advancement is still the Domain Realm.”

With Dao Ancestor Blood Crystal’s explanation, the many Dao Ancestors finally understood.

Yet some were baffled. Why would a perfectly good quasi-Dao Realm suddenly evolve into an Ancient Realm?

“Perhaps residual forces from the Domain Realm sacrificed countless treasures to force this quasi-Dao Realm to evolve into an Ancient Realm!” guessed Dao Ancestor Heavenly Mountain.

After hearing this, many Dao Ancestors thought it was highly plausible.

The formation of a Dao Realm would be unfavorable for the Domain Realm forces.

Most Domain Realm powerhouses were likely still in deep slumber or had yet to recover from their injuries.

Moreover, Dao Realm laws suited the current domain, which could restrict the powerhouses of the Divine Heaven Domain within a Dao Realm.

But the Ancient Realm was different; it wasn’t bound by the Chaos Grand Dao’s limitations. It existed independently of all realms.

In such a world, Domain Realm powerhouses wouldn’t suffer any disadvantages.

Moreover, the birth of an Ancient Realm would only allow True Ancestors to enter, giving the Domain Realm forces hope.

Given enough time, when the Ancient Realm evolved into a Primeval Realm and Dao Ancestors descended, the Domain Realm powerhouses would have all awakened or fully recovered, ready to crush everything in their path.

One could imagine that once the Ancient Realm took shape, it would surely become a battlefield.

“Gather the True Ancestors and send them into the Ancient Realm!”

One by one, the Dao Ancestors from major powers began sending messages to their own True Ancestors.

For the True Ancestors, this moment presented an extraordinary opportunity—a place where they could aspire to become Dao Ancestors.

Even the lofty powers like the Forbidden Palace and Dao Mountain mobilized their forces.

Within the Chaos, countless True Ancestors traveled through the void, gathering outside the quasi-Dao Realm, silently awaiting the birth of the Ancient Realm.

Meanwhile, within the quasi-Dao Realm, many Dao Ancestors’ incarnations began to depart, no longer lingering in the realm.

They had little choice but to leave; although their incarnations could still stay within the Ancient Realm after its formation, the cost was high. Their powers would be severely suppressed, allowing any True Ancestor to easily overwhelm them.

As Dao Ancestor incarnations, they certainly didn’t wish to be bullied by True Ancestors.

Nevertheless, a few Dao Ancestor incarnations chose to remain within certain ruins, determined to absorb the ruins’ benefits, reluctant to depart.

…

In Human Territory

Ye Tian ended his seclusion, now observing the changes in the quasi-Dao Realm.

“Is it about to advance into a Dao Realm?” Ye Tian wondered aloud.

The advancement’s effects were vast, prompting countless human experts to protect the Starry Sky Continents and worlds to ensure that the weaker humans wouldn’t perish amidst the realm’s evolution.

Suddenly, Ye Tian received a transmission from Dao Ancestor Void Sky, clarifying that the quasi-Dao Realm hadn’t evolved into a Dao Realm but rather into an Ancient Realm.

“An Ancient Realm… this is better. If Dao Ancestors were to descend, even if I became a True Ancestor, I’d still be no match for those powerful Dao Ancestors,” Ye Tian murmured.

Thus, this situation proved more advantageous for him, though it likely displeased the Dao Ancestors.

The transformation of the quasi-Dao Realm into the Ancient Realm took an extended period—a full century passed with the realm in a state of advancement.

After a hundred years…

The quasi-Dao Realm had expanded many times over—no, it was now the Ancient Realm.

In some mysterious way, all beings within sensed the name of this Ancient Realm:

The Profound Void Ancient Realm! The Ancient Realm didn’t need the Chaos Grand Dao’s recognition to receive a name; it had its own will, naturally forming a unique name for itself.

The Profound Void Ancient Realm was at least a hundred times larger than the previous quasi-Dao Realm, and its world rules had grown even stronger.

Ye Tian could sense a particular rule unique to the Profound Void Ancient Realm, a rule that shielded the realm from the influence of the Chaos Grand Dao’s origin.

Suddenly—

A surge of rule power manifested into a massive ranking list, floating in the vast, invisible space. This power then spread throughout the Profound Void Ancient Realm, affecting every being within.

Instantly, everyone understood a special rule: Ancient Realm Records! Any record set within the Profound Void Ancient Realm that couldn’t be surpassed by others in a short time would secure a place on the Profound Void Ranking.

This wasn’t just an honor; it was also a fortuitous opportunity.

Any expert who left a record and had their name inscribed on the Profound Void Ranking would receive blessings from the Ancient Realm. During this blessing period, both cultivation speed and comprehension would increase to unimaginable levels.

“Ancient Realm Records!!!”

Everyone was swept into a frenzy, with many beginning to attempt breakthroughs to the True Ancestor Realm.

Naturally, whoever broke through to the True Ancestor Realm first would become the first True Ancestor of the Profound Void Ancient Realm—a feat that would surely secure a place on the Profound Void Ranking.

After all, the first would forever be the first, and no matter how many followed, they could only be second or third.

Thus, this record was likely to be acknowledged.

Ye Tian wasted no time, seizing the moment to begin his breakthrough.
