Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1102: Target: The Guangling Cold Palace of the Heavenly Emperor Palace!
TL: Etude
Ye Tian listened intently, waiting for Ouyang Jiu’er to reveal the secrets of Blackwind Mountain.
Ouyang Jiu’er explained, “Big Brother Ye, most people know that Blackwind Mountain has Ten Kings and numerous Heavenly Kings, but few understand the true strength of these Ten Kings. While you may know their power, the Ten Kings are not the ultimate force of Blackwind Mountain; you don’t even truly know their real identities!”
“Their true identities?” Ye Tian frowned.
It was said that whenever the Ten Kings took action, they always wore masks. Yet within Blackwind Mountain itself, they appeared without disguise. Why, then, did Ouyang Jiu’er claim he didn’t understand their true identities?
Ouyang Jiu’er continued, “Perhaps you’ve seen the Ten Kings, though I can’t say for sure. But the Ten Kings you’ve seen are just what they wanted you to see.”
No one truly knew their identities.
“Actually, ‘Ten Kings’ is just a title. For example, ‘Wind King’—but there’s not just one Wind King!”
“What, there’s more than one Wind King?”
Ye Tian was astonished. This news was truly shocking.
“That’s right!” Ouyang Jiu’er confirmed. “You can think of the title of ‘Wind King’ as a position, like a General. But is there ever only one General? Certainly not! Blackwind Mountain has existed for countless ages. Generations of Wind Kings have come and gone, but such transitions aren’t announced to the likes of you or the Peak Lords.”
She continued, “Moreover, the Ten Kings possess a unique secret art that can mask their aura. Unless someone were an Invincible Dao Ancestor of the Ninth Heaven, they wouldn’t be able to see through the Ten Kings’ origin qi.”
“I once witnessed a king of Blackwind Mountain fall in a forbidden land, but not long after, that same king reappeared. After investigating, I learned that ‘Ten Kings’ is simply a title. When a powerful Dao Ancestor retires, a new one replaces them, becoming one of the Ten Kings! In truth, no one knows exactly how many Pinnacle True Ancestors Blackwind Mountain has.”
Ye Tian was deeply shocked. If this were true, he had greatly underestimated Blackwind Mountain’s strength.
People believed that Blackwind Mountain had lost four of the Ten Kings, leaving only six.
But now, it seemed that while four Pinnacle True Ancestors had indeed fallen, this didn’t mean Blackwind Mountain was left with only six.
Ouyang Jiu’er continued, “The real secret of Blackwind Mountain is not this. After all, no matter how many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors they have, they’re insignificant in the eyes of an Invincible Dao Ancestor. To a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, Dao Ancestors are no more than ants.”
“If Blackwind Mountain had only this level of mystery, it wouldn’t be considered a force with deep secrets.”
She revealed, “The true controller of Blackwind Mountain isn’t the Ten Kings; they’re merely the surface-level rulers. The true master of Blackwind Mountain is the Mountain Lord!”
“The Mountain Lord?” Ye Tian was surprised. “I’ve never heard of this title before.”
“Have you ever seen Blackwind Mountain’s headquarters?” Ouyang Jiu’er rolled her eyes.
“No!” Ye Tian shook his head. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Ouyang Jiu’er continued, “Blackwind Mountain is said to have been founded by a Domain Ancestor, though it was originally established outside the Vast Sea Domain, in another part of the Divine Heaven Domain. It was later moved here. Ancient records indicate that the original rulers were three Mountain Lords, not the Ten Kings—the Ten Kings were secondary leaders.”
“But over the long years, people have forgotten about the three Mountain Lords.”
“These three Mountain Lords were experts at the Half-Step Domain Ancestor level, vastly more powerful than the Ten Kings! Today, Blackwind Mountain, alongside the Domain Realm Fragment, has entered the Dao Mountain Domain. I can’t say for certain whether Blackwind Mountain still has Mountain Lords, but it definitely has Invincible Dao Ancestors.”
“If you keep going on like this, I might even start suspecting Blackwind Mountain has a Domain Ancestor!” Ye Tian joked.
“That’s possible too!” Ouyang Jiu’er laughed. “If a Domain Ancestor were hiding, even other Domain Ancestors might not know. Perhaps Blackwind Mountain has always had one stationed there, without even Domain Ancestor Vast Sea knowing!”
She added, “In any case, the Domain Realm Fragment entering the Dao Mountain Domain involves many mysteries. Even I’m not entirely clear on it. But there’s undoubtedly a great secret behind all of this, and Blackwind Mountain likely knows a bit about it. If you want to uncover more, I suggest climbing the ranks slowly within Blackwind Mountain—perhaps you’ll learn something along the way!”
“Mm.” Ye Tian nodded.
From Ouyang Jiu’er’s words, he sensed that she likely knew secrets about the Profound Void Ancient Realm but hadn’t told him. He didn’t press her further; after all, he was only a True Ancestor now. Knowing too many secrets would bring him no benefit.
The Profound Void Ancient Realm didn’t possess the many dimensions found in the universe; it only had a single space, beyond which lay the chaotic currents of time-space, with nothing else.
Usually, when people traversed through space, they actually crossed these time-space currents. However, as long as they avoided directly entering the currents, they remained unaffected under the protection of the realm’s rules.
But if one actively entered the currents without sufficient strength or particular techniques, they risked becoming lost in the endless chaos of time-space currents.
On this day…
Ouyang Jiu’er led Ye Tian into the time-space currents!
“Jiu’er, are you certain that the palace of the Heavenly Emperor Palace is within these currents?” Ye Tian asked, fearing that Ouyang Jiu’er might be unreliable. If they got lost in the time-space currents, there was no telling how long it would take to escape.
“Absolutely certain!” Ouyang Jiu’er replied confidently. “Back when I was in the Domain Realm, I knew the location of this palace, and one of my treasures was stored by the Heavenly Emperor Palace, so I can roughly confirm its location! Before, I wasn’t strong enough to think about taking it back. But now, with the Heavenly Emperor Palace in hiding, they wouldn’t dare to appear so easily. If they did, the rules of the Profound Void Ancient Realm would notice, drawing attention from other forces.”
She explained, “They’re definitely planning something big, so they won’t station anyone too powerful here. There’s unlikely to be an Invincible True Ancestor guarding this place, probably just a few Pinnacle True Ancestors.”
“I understand!” Ye Tian nodded.
As they moved through the currents, they soon spotted a shadowy area.
That shadowy area was a cluster of buildings!
“There it is—the Guangling Cold Palace, one of the palaces of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, under the rule of Imperial Monarch Guangling!” Ouyang Jiu’er said.
Imperial Monarch Guangling was one of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s emperors, highly distinguished and immensely powerful, possessing the strength of an Invincible Dao Ancestor.
And such emperors were numerous in the Heavenly Emperor Palace, showing the immense power of this force.
As they neared Guangling Cold Palace, Ouyang Jiu’er immediately employed her Shadowless Divine Step, concealing herself and Ye Tian as they observed the palace from afar.
Ye Tian then used his Copy Talent to encompass Guangling Cold Palace, examining the talents of each True Ancestor within and assessing their strength based on their auras.
“Jiu’er, I’ve discovered the palace’s details! Around three thousand people are stationed here, all True Ancestors. Among them, there are approximately nine Pinnacle True Ancestors, about a hundred top-tier True Ancestors, and the rest are elite True Ancestors,” Ye Tian reported.
“Amazing, Big Brother Ye! What kind of detection method is this? I couldn’t sense it at all!” Ouyang Jiu’er exclaimed in surprise.
“Just a small secret technique,” Ye Tian replied playfully, unwilling to divulge more.
His Copy Talent was his greatest card; not even his wife knew about it, so there was no way he would tell Ouyang Jiu’er!
Ouyang Jiu’er didn’t dwell on it and instead prepared for action.
In the time-space currents, communication was nearly impossible.
As long as they killed all the True Ancestors at Guangling Cold Palace, news wouldn’t leak, and the Heavenly Emperor Palace would remain unaware of what had happened. Even if they later sent people to patrol, by then, she and Ye Tian would be long gone.
“Big Brother Ye, let’s attack directly. I’ll seal the void, and you can take them down!” Ouyang Jiu’er assigned the tasks.
“Alright!” Ye Tian agreed.
Whoosh! The two swiftly flew forward.
In an instant, they appeared in front of Guangling Cold Palace.
The True Ancestors guarding the palace were shocked when they noticed Ye Tian’s presence.
This was the time-space currents—a hidden realm. For a stranger to appear here meant something serious was afoot!
“This is the Guangling Cold Palace of the Heavenly Emperor Palace! You are forbidden from approaching!” warned True Ancestor Yu Qi, the palace’s defender, in a cold voice.
Without a word, Ye Tian unleashed a strike of the Myriad Fiends True Spear at him!
Boom!!!
The time-space currents erupted, the Myriad Fiends True Spear pierced straight through the formation protecting Guangling Cold Palace, striking Yu Qi’s body.
With a splatter, Yu Qi’s body was pierced, exploding into pieces. Though he quickly restored his form, he suffered severe injuries.
At this moment, all three thousand True Ancestors at Guangling Cold Palace mobilized, surging forward to attack Ye Tian.
