Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1062: The Strength of Blackwind Mountain!

TL: Etude

In the Wind King Small Domain, there stood a trading city.

At this moment, the trading city was mostly empty. Yet, before the domain shattered, it had been bustling with activity.

Ye Tian and Peak Lord Dragon Force arrived here and settled into a quiet pavilion. They sat drinking and chatting about Blackwind Mountain.

“Peak Lord Ye Tian, have you decided on your Peak Lord title?” Peak Lord Dragon Force asked.

“I have. I’ll go by ‘Peak Lord Nine Limits,’” Ye Tian replied.

The title “Nine Limits” came from his creation, the Nine Limits True Body Technique, a chaos-tempering body cultivation technique. Therefore, calling himself Peak Lord Nine Limits felt fitting.

“Good. From now on, in Blackwind Mountain, I’ll address you as Peak Lord Nine Limits,” Peak Lord Dragon Force said with a smile.

After some casual conversation, they turned to the main topic.

“Peak Lord Nine Limits, how much do you know about Blackwind Mountain?” Peak Lord Dragon Force asked.

Ye Tian shared what he knew. He was aware of the basics: Blackwind Mountain’s strength surpassed the forces of the Middle Three Heavens and likely rivaled those of the Upper Three Heavens.

Blackwind Mountain comprised Ten Kings, a hundred Generals, numerous Peak Lords, and countless armies. It operated as a formidable bandit force.

When Ye Tian finished, Peak Lord Dragon Force chuckled and said, “You’re mostly correct, Peak Lord Nine Limits, but what you know is still quite limited. Even I don’t fully understand the depths of Blackwind Mountain’s true power. However, I definitely know more than outsiders and certainly more than you,” he added.

Ye Tian listened intently, focused and serious.

Peak Lord Dragon Force continued, “Our Blackwind Mountain indeed has Ten Kings. But few know the strength of these Ten Kings, as they rarely take action or even appear. Almost no one knows what they look like. Even I don’t know their faces—they wear masks whenever they show up.

“But their strength is beyond measure, almost unimaginable. From what I know, each of the Ten Kings possesses the combat power of a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor! As for whether Blackwind Mountain has an Invincible Dao Ancestor among its ranks… I don’t know.”

“Ten Kings, Pinnacle Dao Ancestors!!” Ye Tian was stunned.

A Pinnacle Dao Ancestor was equivalent to an Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor! A Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor would be nothing more than an ant before a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor! Ye Tian had never expected Blackwind Mountain’s Ten Kings to be this powerful. Blackwind Mountain was an Eighth Heaven force, one of the top tiers even among Upper Three Heavens forces!

Peak Lord Dragon Force went on, “The Ten Kings established ten small domains, which form the foundation of Blackwind Mountain.

“Unfortunately, during the battle that fractured the domain, four of the Ten Kings fell. Only six remain, each grievously wounded.

“Apart from the Ten Kings, Blackwind Mountain has many Dao Ancestors. Some among them possess strength reaching the Sixth or Seventh Heaven level, though they are currently in slumber.

“These Dao Ancestors are known to us as the ‘Heavenly Kings.’ At its peak, Blackwind Mountain had over ten thousand Heavenly King-level experts! Now, only a few thousand remain. Nine thousand Heavenly Kings have perished, with many of those sacrifices made while traversing the Dark Forbidden Domain to protect Blackwind Mountain.”

“Below the Heavenly Kings are the Generals. Blackwind Mountain once had a hundred Generals, though the true count was actually 108. Now, only about forty Generals remain.

“As for Peak Lords, we had hundreds of thousands at our peak, but now only a few thousand remain. Besides these, Blackwind Mountain still has numerous True Ancestors. I don’t know the exact numbers, nor how many remain,” he concluded.

With Peak Lord Dragon Force’s explanation, Ye Tian finally grasped the strength of Blackwind Mountain.

In short, Blackwind Mountain was immensely powerful, rivaling the forces of the Eighth Heaven and standing among the absolute top even within that tier.

Peak Lord Dragon Force next led Ye Tian to a library pavilion within the Wind King Small Domain.

Originally, the library pavilion had not been located within the Wind King Small Domain but rather at one of Blackwind Mountain’s inheritance grounds or outposts. However, after the devastating battle that shattered the domain, Blackwind Mountain suffered heavy losses, and many critical locations, including the libraries, were relocated to the small domain for safekeeping.

These library pavilions contained numerous valuable texts and some of Blackwind Mountain’s heritage, accessible only to Peak Lords.

Peak Lord Dragon Force didn’t linger long with Ye Tian and soon departed, leaving him to explore the library.

Ye Tian began to browse through the various cultivation texts and public inheritance manuals at his leisure.

Ye Tian already possessed countless inheritances and technique manuals. Now, with this critical resource allowing him to access a vast array of rare texts at any time, his confidence in creating his own True Ancestor-level technique soared.

The True Ancestor Technique was designed to enhance True Ancestral Force. Without it, the progress of True Ancestral Force would be excruciatingly slow, potentially taking untold eons to reach the mid-stage Grand Dao Realm.

However, with a True Ancestor Technique, strengthening True Ancestral Force would not be as difficult.

Yet, Ye Tian’s situation was unique.

His True Ancestral Force possessed forbidden attributes, so even cultivating with top-tier True Ancestor techniques would reduce the effects of these forbidden attributes by half, making it impossible to fully unleash the might of forbidden True Ancestral Force.

Thus, he sought to create a True Ancestor technique perfectly suited to his own unique attributes.

One day, Ye Tian stumbled upon a detailed description of Dark Forbidden Power in the library. To his surprise, he discovered that in the Divine Heaven Domain, many individuals also mastered this Dark Forbidden Power.

What shocked Ye Tian even more was the revelation that to become a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor or Invincible Dao Ancestor, mastery of Dark Forbidden Power was essential. However, the text offered no specifics on how to accomplish this.

It did, however, contain information on the stages of a Forbidden Body.

When Dark Forbidden Power completely tempered one’s body, it resulted in a Forbidden Body. Reaching a tempering level of four-tenths produced a minor accomplishment Forbidden Body, which allowed the user to manifest a forbidden domain. At seven-tenths, it became a major accomplishment Forbidden Body, enabling the body to transform into the Dark Forbidden Domain itself, unleashing terrifying power. At a perfect ten-tenths, one attained the Complete Forbidden Body—an authentic Forbidden Dao Body.

As for the abilities of a Forbidden Dao Body, the text didn’t say, likely because even its author did not know.

“A minor accomplishment Forbidden Body allows the user to manifest a forbidden domain. I wonder if the Lord of the Forbidden Palace has… reached this stage with his Forbidden Body?” Ye Tian mused, curious.

The records indicated that achieving even a minor accomplishment Forbidden Body was extremely difficult, requiring countless treasures imbued with Dark Forbidden Power. Many Dao Ancestors who had mastered Dark Forbidden Power ventured into the Dark Forbidden Domain at great risk to their lives, yet perished before reaching minor accomplishment in their Forbidden Bodies.

Ye Tian spent a hundred years in the library before finally leaving the Wind King Small Domain and returning to human territory.

He then entered seclusion once more, aiming to stabilize his realm and enhance his power while attempting to create both a True Ancestor Technique and a True Ancestor-level body-refining technique.

As for other matters, he ignored them for the time being.

Due to the augmentation from the three Great Profound Void Ancient Realm Records, Ye Tian’s comprehension ability had increased to a staggering level. He also took a Heavenly Soul Pill, which allowed him to create techniques with ease and without any difficulty.

One Heavenly Soul Pill after another was refined by Ye Tian until he could no longer benefit from them. Over time, he had refined nine Heavenly Soul Pills in total, reaching the maximum limit.

Fortunately, Ye Tian eventually succeeded in creating both a True Ancestor Technique and a True Ancestor-level Nine Limits True Body Technique.

Ye Tian consolidated these two techniques under one name: the Nine Limits True Technique! With this art now created, Ye Tian immediately began cultivating.

As he cultivated, Ye Tian felt his True Ancestral Force surge, and his physical strength rapidly grew. His power continuously increased with each passing moment.

Ye Tian understood that his rapid progress was due to two factors: the Nine Limits True Technique and the amplification effect of the three Ancient Realm Records. Without these, his cultivation speed would not have been so phenomenal.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed!

…

Pinnacle Dao Ancestor = Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor, Invincible Dao Ancestor = Ninth Heaven Dao Ancestor.
