Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1121: The Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Mission

TL: Etude

“A mysterious Dao Ancestor of the Seventh Heaven seized the Forbidden Supreme Treasure.”

Ye Tian was astonished when he learned this news from the Nine Limits Legion.

In this recent battle, many Dao Ancestors had perished, including some from the Seventh Heaven. In the end, a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor took another Dao Ancestor’s corpse and managed to escape.

However, the battle had been so chaotic that as one Dao Ancestor grabbed the Forbidden Supreme Treasure, he was swiftly killed, and the treasure continued to be contested by others.

If one of the Dao Ancestors had managed to hide the Forbidden Supreme Treasure, it wasn’t even certain that it was actually in the hands of that mysterious Dao Ancestor. Though given the sheer number of Dao Ancestors witnessing the struggle, hiding the treasure would be difficult. Therefore, it was most likely still with the mysterious Dao Ancestor.

No one knew the identity of this mysterious Dao Ancestor. His movements had been rapid, and his aura was unfamiliar—he might have used a secret technique to alter it, leaving other Dao Ancestors unable to identify him.

To this day, no one had been able to speculate who that Dao Ancestor might be.

However, all the great forces had suffered heavy losses in this battle. Many True Ancestors had fallen, and several Dao Ancestors were lost. Those who survived were unable to acquire the Forbidden Supreme Treasure and had to retreat in wounded and weakened states, slipping back into slumber with injured foundations—an enormous loss for them! Although Ye Tian felt some temptation for the Forbidden Supreme Treasure, Ouyang Jiu’er mentioned that the treasure was somewhat lackluster, which dampened his desire for it.

“Forget it,” Ye Tian murmured to himself. “Let’s appraise these forbidden wondrous objects first.”

This time, he had acquired a total of sixty-seven forbidden wondrous objects, an astonishing number. He had no intention of trading them with Blackwind Mountain.

At present, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Invincible True Ancestor level, rendering other treasures from Blackwind Mountain useless to him. Therefore, he had no need to exchange for anything.

Forbidden wondrous objects were extremely valuable at the moment and in short supply everywhere. He wasn’t foolish enough to trade them away. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ye Tian began appraising each of the forbidden wondrous objects, gradually discerning their uses.

Most of these forbidden wondrous objects turned out to be cultivation aids with effects similar to divine medicines, useful for tempering the Forbidden Body.

Some could serve as materials for forging Forbidden Weapons.

Forbidden wondrous objects were rare; even the lowest-grade Forbidden Weapon was more powerful than the typical Dao Artifact. Top-tier Forbidden Weapons could easily shatter Dao Artifacts.

However, not everyone could wield a Forbidden Weapon. Without mastery of the Dark Forbidden Power, using a Forbidden Weapon would inflict heavy damage on oneself. Often, one might harm oneself even before reaching the enemy.

Moreover, crafting a Forbidden Weapon required more than just a single forbidden wondrous object; multiple items, precisely matched, were necessary. Otherwise, the materials would be wasted.

Other forbidden wondrous objects could act as one-time-use weapons, defensive tools, or restraints.

“Hmm, this forbidden wondrous object is quite good—it can even allow one to escape!”

Ye Tian gazed at a leaf-shaped forbidden wondrous object in surprise.

He named it the “Forbidden Void Leaf” because it could manipulate Forbidden Space rules to instantly escape, boasting a formidable evasion effect.

If an enemy possessed such a forbidden wondrous object, Ye Tian realized he wouldn’t be able to kill or even catch up to them.

Aside from the Forbidden Void Leaf, Ye Tian was also interested in another forbidden wondrous object—the only high-grade one in his collection. This object could open a cultivation space containing a mild Dark Forbidden Power. The power was faint enough to let those without mastery of the Dark Forbidden Power enter and accelerate their cultivation, much like the effects of the Nine Nether Forbidden Pool.

Thus, Ye Tian used this forbidden wondrous object to create a Forbidden Space for the Human Race.

He chose not to open this Forbidden Space within the Nine Limits Space since it lay in the Wind King’s Small Domain, fully under the Wind King’s control.

He couldn’t afford to risk having the Forbidden Space there. Although he didn’t believe the Wind King would covet such a minor Forbidden Space, it was better to be cautious.

Furthermore, establishing the Forbidden Space among the Human Race allowed his family and a few of the Human Race’s talents to cultivate within it, making it more convenient.

The Forbidden Space did have one drawback: it periodically required additional forbidden wondrous objects for cultivation support. Otherwise, it would merely be an ordinary space.

As long as he had enough forbidden wondrous objects, the Forbidden Space could be even more useful than the Nine Nether Forbidden Pool.

Currently, Ye Tian possessed enough forbidden wondrous objects to sustain it for many years, so he had no concerns about supply.

Regarding this recent harvest, he was very satisfied. Although he hadn’t obtained the Forbidden Supreme Treasure or a top-tier forbidden wondrous object, the quantity and combined value of these forbidden wondrous objects exceeded that of a single top-tier one.

Moreover, his Forbidden Body had been tempered to the minor accomplishment realm, increasing his strength even further.

Unfortunately, he had yet to break his shackles, though he sensed the invisible bottleneck restricting him had started to weaken.

“As long as I cultivate one of my mid-tier Dao techniques to the perfected realm, I am certain I can break through the shackles and become a Supreme True Ancestor!”

Ye Tian murmured to himself.

In the days that followed, Ye Tian immersed himself in arduous cultivation, focusing all his effort on comprehending the Great Desolate Dao Body, a mid-tier Dao technique.

…

Elsewhere.

In the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Palace Master Zhenwu was in discussion with several Ninth Heaven Imperial Monarch.

“Who was responsible for this plan?” demanded Palace Master Zhenwu.

“It was me!” Imperial Monarch Guangling stepped forward to answer.

Palace Master Zhenwu fixed his gaze on Imperial Monarch Guangling and said, “Imperial Monarch Guangling, you ordered the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and you took three Forbidden Supreme Treasures from the Forbidden Ancient Well—all highly valuable ones, which was well done! However, you failed to incite a slaughter among the strongest Dao Ancestors of the major forces; only a few Dao Ancestors of the Sixth and Seventh Heavens fell, which isn’t enough to shake their foundations!”

Imperial Monarch Guangling hurried to explain, “Palace Master Zhenwu, those Pinnacle Dao Ancestors simply didn’t show up. There was nothing I could do!”

“If you hadn’t made the decision to leave only a low-tier, inferior Forbidden Supreme Treasure—a single-use defensive one at that—then how could they have resisted joining the fray? Truly powerful Forbidden Supreme Treasures have unique effects, which are easy to recognize. The moment such a treasure appears, even Ninth Heaven Dao Ancestors would be tempted!”

Palace Master Zhenwu admonished.

“But wouldn’t the cost be too high if we did that?” Imperial Monarch Guangling protested.

“Foolish!” Palace Master Zhenwu rebuked. “What does it matter if it’s a mid-tier Forbidden Supreme Treasure? Does our Heavenly Emperor Palace lack such items? If we can use one mid-tier Forbidden Supreme Treasure to trap and kill a top-tier Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor, it would be well worth it.

When an Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor dies, it’s not just the loss of one powerful Dao Ancestor. It would ignite a life-and-death vendetta between two Eighth or even Ninth Heaven forces! Since Domain Ancestor Vast Sea has ordered us to provoke conflict among these factions, we must go all out.

Soon, places like the Forbidden Ancient Well will continue to appear one after another. I hope this doesn’t happen again next time!”

At this, another Heavenly Monarch asked, “Palace Master Zhenwu, when will our Heavenly Emperor Palace reveal itself? With so many Forbidden sites appearing, if we don’t make our move, we risk losing countless Forbidden treasures and opportunities! Other factions will grow stronger by leveraging these resources and opportunities, which wouldn’t bode well for our Heavenly Emperor Palace!”

“This isn’t something for you to worry about. Your task is to provoke these major factions into battle. As long as enough Dao Ancestors fall, that will suffice. Leave the rest alone!” commanded Palace Master Zhenwu.

“Yes!” the Imperial Monarch responded.

As Palace Master Zhenwu departed, the other Imperial Monarch also left one by one, but Imperial Monarch Guangling remained lost in thought.

In truth, he didn’t fully understand the core mission of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. All he knew was that his task was to stoke conflicts between the major factions as the Forbidden Realm continued to emerge, leading to the deaths of as many Dao Ancestors as possible.

The more chaos in the Profound Void Ancient Realm, the more Dao Ancestors and True Ancestors that perished, the better. However, the Heavenly Emperor Palace could not engage these factions directly; the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Sect had been the limit, and no further factions could be destroyed.

Logically, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had no reason to fear these forces. Even if it were to emerge now, it could potentially sweep through all the Upper Three Heaven factions, rendering such tactics unnecessary.

Yet, the Heavenly Emperor Palace insisted on remaining hidden, manipulating everything from the shadows, without hindering the growth of these factions’ strength.

Such behavior was indeed puzzling! However, one thing was certain—Domain Ancestor Vast Sea had indeed merged a treasure with the Domain Realm Fragment, allowing the Profound Void Ancient Realm to evolve into a Forbidden Realm.

As for what treasure this was, that remained unclear.

“The ultimate goal of our Heavenly Emperor Palace must be to create a Forbidden Realm, but the precise plan is likely known only to a few Palace Masters who haven’t told us!” This irritated Imperial Monarch Guangling somewhat.

After all, he was also part of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s upper ranks—an Invincible Dao Ancestor—yet he wasn’t entitled to such secrets.

“Hmph, once I step into the Half-Step Domain Ancestor level, let’s see if they still keep it from me!” Imperial Monarch Guangling thought to himself.

Then, his thoughts shifted to the few treasures he had stored in his Guangling Cold Palace, and his heart ached.

“If I find out who did it, I swear I’ll kill him!” Imperial Monarch Guangling declared viciously.
