Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1085: The Scammer that is Ouyang Jiu’er!

TL: Etude

Ye Tian harbored an overwhelming desire for the Dao of the Saber manual written by a Pinnacle Saber Dao Ancestor. Though he knew there would be certain risks involved, he felt compelled to go.

Naturally, he also possessed complete confidence in his own strength. As long as an Invincible True Ancestor didn’t intervene, he believed there wouldn’t be any real danger.

Whether Purple Mist Sect had an Invincible True Ancestor, however, remained uncertain.

Ye Tian had already agreed to accompany Ouyang Jiu’er to retrieve resources from the hidden realm. Still, he had no intention of simply barging in—how foolish would that be! Though Ye Tian could certainly take on those five top-tier True Ancestors and thirty ordinary True Ancestors, if he could slip in undetected, that would be ideal.

“Ouyang Jiu’er, let’s capture a random ordinary True Monarch from the Purple Mist Sect and interrogate them about the hidden realm’s layout,” Ye Tian suggested.

“Fine by me!” Ouyang Jiu’er nodded.

Ye Tian then activated his Copy Talent to survey the surroundings, quickly locking onto a True Monarch.

…

True Monarch Farthought, a top-tier True Monarch of the Purple Mist Sect, possessed considerable power.

Originally a native of the Ancient Profound Realm, he had been singled out by the Purple Mist Sect due to his remarkable talent—he was, in fact, a peak-tier genius with immense future potential.

However, at the Purple Mist Sect’s main headquarters, he was nothing special, given the presence of numerous True Ancestors.

True Monarchs didn’t have the qualifications to enter the Purple Mist Sect headquarters, so he had been assigned to this branch. Here, he held a somewhat high position, as the True Ancestors typically secluded themselves in cultivation, leaving mundane management to top-tier True Monarchs like him.

Ordinarily, he would have been focused on his cultivation at the branch, but a command had recently been issued by a Pinnacle True Ancestor, summoning numerous True Ancestors and True Monarchs to patrol for intruders. This irked him, but the orders of a Pinnacle True Ancestor were not something he could disregard.

“Hopefully, we’ll locate the intruder soon, so I can get back to cultivating,” True Monarch Farthought muttered to himself. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Just then, two figures appeared in front of him. Before he could even verify their identities, his consciousness faded.

Ye Tian stared at True Monarch Farthought, whom he had subdued with an illusion technique, and immediately began the interrogation.

Before long, Ye Tian had gathered a wealth of information about the Purple Mist Sect’s branch.

Here, a Pinnacle True Ancestor oversaw the branch, which was staffed by over a hundred top-tier True Ancestors, thousands of elite True Ancestors, and several thousand ordinary True Ancestors.

For a Fifth Heaven force like the Glazed Glass Sect, assembling dozens of top-tier True Ancestors would already be impressive. Yet here, the Purple Mist Sect’s branch alone had over a hundred top-tier True Ancestors, clearly demonstrating the overwhelming strength of Upper Three Heaven forces, vastly outclassing those of the Middle Three Heavens.

As for the hidden realm, Ye Tian gleaned enough intelligence to gain a clear picture.

The Purple Mist Sect had indeed discovered the realm, posting True Ancestors as guards around it. Based on True Monarch Farthought’s understanding, most of the resources within had already been extracted. However, a treasure had been unearthed, one that greatly intrigued the True Ancestors, as it could enhance their force.

This hidden realm only opened periodically, and the treasure within could only be studied by a limited number of individuals. As such, a rotation system had been set up, with one group of True Ancestors comprehending the treasure inside while another guarded the outside.

Sometimes, a True Monarch with great achievements or outstanding performance might also be granted a chance to enter this hidden realm.

Once the interrogation was complete, Ye Tian cast True Monarch Farthought into an endless illusion, before tossing him into a spatial rift, leaving him to drift wherever fate would take him.

“Jiu’er, what exactly is this treasure in the hidden realm that can boost True Ancestral Force? As it stands, there are at least ten top-tier True Ancestors there, along with even more elite and ordinary True Ancestors,” Ye Tian asked.

“It’s supposedly a Magic-Suppressing Stone, something foundational to the hidden realm. It can only refine True Ancestral Force, making it purer. However, it’s only useful for those with weaker foundations; those with a strong base already have exceedingly pure True Ancestral Force and can’t benefit from the stone’s refining abilities. Honestly, it’s a trash treasure!” Ouyang Jiu’er explained.

Ye Tian felt speechless. A treasure like that was clearly valuable! Yet to a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, it was mere “garbage.” He found himself at a loss for words to argue.

Moreover, it was precisely because of this Magic-Suppressing Stone that so many True Ancestors were stationed there. Otherwise, he could easily enter the hidden realm without resistance.

“Jiu’er, to be honest, how long will it take you to retrieve the resources?” Ye Tian asked seriously.

“About ten minutes or so!” Ouyang Jiu’er calculated and replied.

“Alright, then we’ll go in directly. Based on the current situation, these True Ancestors aren’t going anywhere, so sneaking in isn’t an option,” Ye Tian planned.

“Are you sure you can handle it alone?” Ouyang Jiu’er asked, concerned.

She wasn’t really worried about Ye Tian but about herself. If Ye Tian couldn’t hold up, she’d be in deep trouble.

“Not a problem! According to the intel, this branch has only one Pinnacle True Ancestor overseeing it, and that one isn’t stationed at the hidden realm. I can definitely hold them off while you retrieve the resources. Just don’t mess this up—if you take too long and attract the Purple Mist Sect’s Pinnacle True Ancestor, we won’t be able to escape smoothly!”

“Alright, as long as you can withstand them,” Ouyang Jiu’er replied.

The hidden realm opened only at intervals, but Ouyang Jiu’er knew a secret technique to bypass the wait.

Immediately, Ye Tian led Ouyang Jiu’er toward the hidden realm.

Along the way, Ye Tian shielded Ouyang Jiu’er’s presence, cloaking her aura. As long as the True Ancestors didn’t scrutinize too closely, they wouldn’t be easily exposed.

At the entrance of the hidden realm:

Several palaces floated in the area, with many True Ancestors in secluded cultivation, having made this place their base.

“Get ready!” Ye Tian reminded.

After Ouyang Jiu’er signaled that she was ready, Ye Tian brought her to the entrance of the hidden realm.

Ouyang Jiu’er then performed a series of hand seals, activating the formation that controlled the hidden realm.

Boom! The entrance to the hidden realm opened.

At that moment, the Purple Mist Sect’s True Ancestors naturally reacted.

“Go!” Ye Tian grabbed Ouyang Jiu’er and darted into the hidden realm.

“Someone has breached the hidden realm! They have a way to open it. Capture them!” The True Ancestors charged into the hidden realm, determined to catch Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er.

Inside the hidden realm.

Ye Tian sped forward, but his entry had already been exposed. Not only did the True Ancestors outside follow him in, but those True Ancestors inside who had been cultivating near the Magic-Suppressing Stone also exited seclusion, blocking Ye Tian’s way.

“Hurry, Big Brother Ye! The outer resources have been taken. Only one mysterious space within the Magic-Suppressing Stone holds any treasures, a place no one would ever expect,” Ouyang Jiu’er shouted.

“Inside of the Magic-Suppressing Stone? You little scammer!” Ye Tian couldn’t help but curse.

He felt a sense of relief after cursing when he saw that Ouyang Jiu’er wasn’t angered. He feared provoking this Half-Step Domain Ancestor.

Luckily, Ouyang Jiu’er, despite her power, had a youthful disposition. Unlike other powerful cultivators, she didn’t respond to any slight with lethal force.

Otherwise, no matter how angry he felt, he wouldn’t have dared curse at her.

But he was truly frustrated; the treasure was inside the Magic-Suppressing Stone, yet Ouyang Jiu’er had previously dismissed it as “trash.”

“So I have to go to the Magic-Suppressing Stone, meaning I have to fight those True Ancestors,” he grumbled. “Why didn’t you mention there were resources inside the Magic-Suppressing Stone?”

“You didn’t ask,” Ouyang Jiu’er said matter-of-factly. “Besides, what difference does it make? Either way, you’d still have to go in and fight those True Ancestors. I’m just a True Monarch, and I’m not scared, so what’s your problem?”

“It’s not about fear—those top-tier True Ancestors don’t worry me. What annoys me is your lack of clear information. Sometimes, a small piece of intel changes everything! Are you hiding anything else from me?” Ye Tian asked.

“Nope!” Ouyang Jiu’er shook her head.

Ye Tian couldn’t be bothered to continue questioning her, so he picked up the pace and headed toward the Magic-Suppressing Stone.

Soon…

He encountered the hidden realm’s stationed True Ancestors.

Their numbers exceeded his expectations—over forty True Ancestors, including seven top-tier ones.

Boom! Over forty True Ancestors unleashed origin divine abilities or entry-level Dao techniques at once.

Such an assault would overwhelm an average top-tier True Ancestor; only the strongest among them might withstand it, but even then, not without injury.

But Ye Tian remained unfazed. He was a Pinnacle True Ancestor!

“Purple-Gold True Body!” he declared.

A defensive Dao technique effortlessly shielded him from the combined strike of many True Ancestors.

Then Ye Tian unleashed an offensive Dao technique—Ten Inferno Dragons!

Boom! Ten terrifyingly powerful dragons manifested, lunging toward the True Ancestors.

Ten True Ancestors, unable to dodge in time, were ripped to shreds.

Next, Ye Tian cast another Dao technique—Blue Nether Absolute Ice. Three top-tier True Ancestors and over twenty other True Ancestors were frozen. Except for the three top-tier True Ancestors, all the ordinary and elite True Ancestors perished.

Three consecutive limit Dao techniques left Ouyang Jiu’er astonished.

“He’s actually refined three Dao techniques to the limit level—he’s really something extraordinary!” she thought to herself.
