Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1092: True Ancestor Lei Ao!

TL: Etude

“Jiu’er, do you have any idea which ancient force this ruin belonged to? It should already have perished; otherwise, the Purple Mist Sect wouldn’t have been able to excavate it!” Ye Tian asked.

“I’m not too sure!” Ouyang Jiu’er replied, “The Domain Realm has an incredibly long history—even the Domain Lord has changed several times!”

“The Domain Lord has changed multiple times? Does that mean those Domain Ancestors have all fallen?”

Ye Tian felt intense curiosity about these hidden secrets.

Ouyang Jiu’er shook her head and said, “Some have fallen, while others chose to enter the Dark Forbidden Domain.

The Divine Heaven Domain has multiple domain realms, and this one has actually gone through many name changes, typically following the title of the reigning Domain Lord. The last Domain Lord was named Domain Ancestor Vast Sea, also known as the Heavenly Emperor Vast Sea. Therefore, this domain realm is called the Vast Sea Domain.”

From Ouyang Jiu’er’s words, Ye Tian learned that the Vast Sea Domain had endured several dark eras throughout its long history—times when no Domain Ancestor existed.

A domain realm held immense value, so much that even Domain Ancestors would covet it.

Although a Domain Ancestor could create a domain realm, doing so demanded a tremendous cost and an enormous amount of resources. A fully matured domain realm far surpassed a newly created one in value.

As a result, many would engage in fierce battles for the position of Domain Lord.

Once someone became a Domain Lord, their chances of becoming a Domain Ancestor increased significantly, as the growth speed gained by controlling a domain realm’s resources would be unimaginable. It was easy to imagine, then, how many times the Vast Sea Domain’s forces had shifted alliances or perished altogether. Countless forces in the Upper Three Heavens had been wiped out over time.

For instance, in every struggle for the position of Domain Lord, at least a few Upper Three Heavens forces were likely to be annihilated.

So, even with Ouyang Jiu’er’s extensive knowledge, she found it difficult to recognize all the Upper Three Heavens forces.

Moreover, they hadn’t even entered the ruins yet—they had only glimpsed the exterior from afar.

The ruins exposed only a spatial rift, revealing parts of the structures within, but not much else. To understand more, they’d have to enter the ruins themselves.

“How do we get in? My Shadowless Divine Step can’t get close to those True Ancestors, or they’ll sense it. But if we don’t go inside, we won’t gain anything at all!” Ouyang Jiu’er transmitted telepathically.

As a reincarnated half-step Domain Ancestor, she had hidden numerous treasures in various locations. However, since most Domain Realm Fragments had fallen into the Dao Mountain Domain, only a few of these treasures were accessible to her now. She’d already excavated one of them, and the remaining ones were in dangerous places. She wouldn’t dare approach them without the power of an Invincible True Ancestor.

Thus, she had a strong desire to acquire new resources.

And if these ruins from an ancient era were indeed the remnants of a branch of an Upper Three Heavens force, they’d hold tremendous value.

There might even be Supreme Treasures capable of tempting even Pinnacle True Ancestors. Moreover, some resources exhausted long ago in ancient times could still hold legendary value today.

The two waited patiently, observing as the True Ancestors of the Purple Mist Sect passed through the spatial rift. Some left the ruins, while others entered.

However, everyone had to undergo a massive formation’s inspection before entering or leaving the ruins. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

This inspection method was nearly impossible to evade, as it involved one’s soul and origin qi. If anyone could bypass it, they’d likely be a Supreme Being who wouldn’t need to covet anything from these ruins.

Besides, only True Ancestors were currently permitted to awaken in the Profound Void Ancient Realm, and Dao Ancestors were unable to revive, so such a situation was unlikely.

Suddenly—

A True Ancestor emerged from the ruins, tore through the void, and left.

Ye Tian recognized him instantly—it was none other than the Purple Mist Sect’s Pinnacle True Ancestor, Lei Ao! Lei Ao was on a completely different level compared to Purple Mist Sect’s other True Ancestors, like True Ancestor Yellow Light and True Ancestor Le Yan. He was immensely more powerful.

True Ancestor Lei Ao’s reputation was well-known. People said that his speed ranked in the top ten in the Profound Void Ancient Realm, and he was a master of lightning Dao techniques.

His strength bordered on that of an Invincible True Ancestor, and in certain aspects, he even surpassed one.

Even the average Invincible True Ancestor might struggle to kill Lei Ao, only managing to defeat him at best.

Lei Ao also served as the de facto leader of the Purple Mist Sect, with the other Pinnacle True Ancestors answering to him.

Watching Lei Ao depart, Ye Tian reached a decision.

“Jiu’er, I can guarantee that I’ll infiltrate. Enter my internal world first!” Ye Tian instructed.

“Alright!”

Ouyang Jiu’er didn’t question how he planned to get in; it likely involved his unique abilities, and she thought it best not to pry.

Swoosh! Ouyang Jiu’er entered Ye Tian’s internal world.

Then, Ye Tian activated one of the abilities of his Copy Talent—Copy Body! He directly replicated Lei Ao’s body.

Swoosh! A second Lei Ao appeared! This duplicate body was identical to the original Lei Ao, even sharing the same talents. The only difference was that it lacked Lei Ao’s memories and couldn’t use Lei Ao’s Dao techniques.

Thus, this imitation could still be easily exposed.

However, Ye Tian only needed Lei Ao’s identity to enter the ruins. Even if he were discovered later, no one would know who had orchestrated it.

Whoosh! Ye Tian merged into the body of the Lei Ao replica and then, assuming Lei Ao’s identity, flew toward the ruins.

…

At the entrance to the ruins.

The True Ancestors of the Purple Mist Sect saw that True Ancestor Lei Ao had returned and immediately felt puzzled, but they still greeted him with respect, saying, “Greetings, Lord True Ancestor Lei Ao!”

“I just remembered something else I need to check inside,” Ye Tian said.

“Understood!” the True Ancestors responded.

Even though he appeared as True Ancestor Lei Ao, Ye Tian still had to go through the inspection to prevent any impersonation of True Ancestor Lei Ao.

When Ye Tian entered the array for inspection, all methods of verification confirmed that this body was indeed the real True Ancestor Lei Ao.

At this point, none of the True Ancestors doubted that Ye Tian was an imposter.

Thus, Ye Tian entered the ruins with ease.

Since the True Ancestors held no suspicion, they wouldn’t send any messages to verify his identity.

For now, Ye Tian had no risk of exposure.

Once inside the ruins, Ye Tian finally got a clear look at the entire place.

The style of the ruins appeared incredibly ancient, yet the formations within were immensely powerful.

He could also sense many True Ancestors working continuously to break the seals here.

Swoosh! A True Ancestor appeared in front of Ye Tian; it was none other than True Ancestor Yellow Light, who had previously threatened Ye Tian.

“True Ancestor Lei Ao, why did you come back again?” True Ancestor Yellow Light asked, somewhat surprised.

The Pinnacle True Ancestors took turns guarding the place, and True Ancestor Lei Ao had already been stationed here for a while before he was supposed to return to guard the Purple Mist Sect headquarters.

Yet here Lei Ao was, returning.

“What? I’m not allowed to come back?” Ye Tian replied coldly.

“Ah, no, of course not!” True Ancestor Yellow Light quickly bowed his head, not daring to question further.

He knew he was far from being True Ancestor Lei Ao’s match, and provoking him would not end well.

“I’d like to take another look. Let’s go!” Ye Tian said.

“Alright!” True Ancestor Yellow Light agreed.

The two then flew toward the depths of the ruins.

Though Ye Tian followed behind True Ancestor Yellow Light, he stayed a step back, letting True Ancestor Yellow Light lead the way entirely.

If Ye Tian had gone ahead, he could easily have exposed himself by not knowing the layout.

In an instant, the two descended to an underground passage.

Upon entering, they reached a vast underground chamber.

This space held a medicine garden with an abundance of divine herbs, mountain ranges filled with rare minerals, and countless other valuable resources…

After a while, Ye Tian and True Ancestor Yellow Light stopped in front of a restrictive formation.

At that moment, numerous True Ancestors were working to break this formation.

Through the formation, Ye Tian could see the situation within.

Twelve ancient statues surrounded an old pool, within which a black liquid swirled. This water manifested rules and produced strange illusions that appeared and vanished, creating an eerie atmosphere.

“True Ancestor Lei Ao, rest assured. With us here, there’s absolutely no problem. At our current pace, in another million years, we’ll break through this restriction and seize control of the Nine Nether Forbidden Pool!” True Ancestor Yellow Light said.

“The Nine Nether Forbidden Pool?”

Ye Tian knew nothing about this Nine Nether Forbidden Pool but didn’t dare to ask, as questioning it would immediately expose him.

So—

Ye Tian’s original consciousness descended into his internal universe, where he found Ouyang Jiu’er, who was idly entertaining herself.

“Jiu’er, have you ever heard of the Nine Nether Forbidden Pool?” Ye Tian asked.
