Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1126: The Ultimate Goal: Forbidden Dao!

TL: Etude

“What’s with that giant ape at the Dao Ancestor level just now?” Ye Tian asked curiously.

Ouyang Jiu’er explained, “This is actually a special world fragment. I took it out from a forbidden area and fused it into the Vast Sea Domain. This world fragment is unique, with powerful concealment. However, some strong creatures are born here, some of which rival Sixth or Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors.

When it went through the Dark Forbidden Domain, many Dao Ancestor-level creatures in this fragment likely perished, though some undoubtedly survived by sheer luck! These Dao Ancestor creatures are innate Dao Ancestors. Although they haven’t mastered the Grand Dao, they possess incredibly terrifying talent and physical strength.

It’s only under the suppression of the Profound Void Ancient Realm that I dared to come here!”

As they walked forward, neither of them moved too fast, as if in no particular hurry.

Several creatures attacked them along the way, and they killed them one by one.

Ouyang Jiu’er preserved their corpses and even extracted their blood.

“Jiu’er, what’s the point of collecting the blood of some True Monarch or ordinary True Ancestor-level creatures?” Ye Tian asked, puzzled.

Ouyang Jiu’er smiled. “Don’t underestimate these creatures. They’re quite unique. If ordinary, unintelligent creatures can reach the True Monarch or True Ancestor level—or even Dao Ancestor—their bloodline must be incredibly potent, containing special energy. For some weaker beings, this blood is a supreme treasure. It can cleanse their constitution and enhance their potential.

For example, a human of average talent could transform their aptitude and greatly improve their foundation with just a single drop. It’s useless for me, but for humans, this blood could change their destiny! And, since this blood is pure energy, it doesn’t alter human bloodlines. When I learned this secret, that’s why I took this world fragment!”

“I see!” Ye Tian said with delight.

Without hesitation, he began to slay the creatures here, gathering their blood as well.

Even if he slaughtered every creature in this fragment, many more would be born over time.

These creatures were enormous, so one could imagine how much blood each held. It was impossible to estimate how many talents could be cultivated from it—the blood’s worth alone was astronomical.

Of course, for Ye Tian, this blood was only valuable for cultivating humans and held no personal benefit.

Soon, another Dao Ancestor creature attempted to ambush Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er.

This creature was at the Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor level, but it could only wield the strength of a Third Heaven Dao Ancestor due to the suppression, which was no threat to Ye Tian or Ouyang Jiu’er.

Ye Tian’s strength rivaled top-tier Third Heaven Dao Ancestor power, so he easily blocked the attack and injured his opponent.

However, Ye Tian didn’t pursue; there was no need for that.

Their goal this time was to take the treasure, not to exterminate every creature in this world fragment.

A few days later.

Ye Tian had gathered enough blood and stopped collecting. He followed Ouyang Jiu’er to a palace at the center of the world fragment.

The barriers outside the palace were complex and powerful, and even Ye Tian couldn’t decipher them.

Suddenly, Ouyang Jiu’er spoke, “Big Brother Ye, there’s something I’ve been hiding from you. In my past life, I wasn’t an ordinary Dao Ancestor. I was a Half-Step Domain Ancestor!”

“I know,” Ye Tian replied nonchalantly.

“Wait, you knew?” Ouyang Jiu’er’s eyes widened. “How did you know I’m the reincarnation of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor?”

Ye Tian chuckled. “I’m not foolish. How could an ordinary Dao Ancestor know as much as you do? And you mentioned you brought this world fragment from a forbidden area. Creatures of the Sixth and Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor level roam here—ordinary Dao Ancestors don’t have that capability! With a bit of guesswork, it was clear your strength in your previous life was either as an Invincible Dao Ancestor or… a Half-Step Domain Ancestor!”

“You’re right,” Ouyang Jiu’er nodded, realizing she’d indeed shown some hints that could be pieced together.

“Why didn’t you expose me?” Ouyang Jiu’er asked.

“Because I’m scared of you, of course. You’re a Half-Step Domain Ancestor,” Ye Tian joked.

Ouyang Jiu’er rolled her eyes, though she understood that Ye Tian wasn’t one to care about rank. Half-Step Domain Ancestor or not, that was all in the past.

Besides, Ye Tian was already a Supreme True Ancestor and would, at the very least, have a high chance of becoming an Invincible True Ancestor or even a Half-Step Domain Ancestor in the future.

Thus, her identity wasn’t something to boast about.

“Big Brother Ye, in the beginning, we barely knew each other, so I naturally couldn’t reveal my true identity to you. Also, I can’t tell you much about my previous life right now. Some things, if spoken aloud, could have far-reaching consequences. I’ll tell you in the future!” Ouyang Jiu’er explained.

“It’s fine. I understand that knowing too much can sometimes be more trouble than it’s worth,” Ye Tian replied understandingly.

“Let me open this palace first,” Ouyang Jiu’er said as she activated the seals on the palace. The two of them entered, and the barrier closed behind them, preventing any Dao Ancestor creatures from entering.

Even though these Dao Ancestor creatures weren’t very intelligent, they knew that this palace was valuable.

Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t breach its defenses. After all, this formation was set up by Ouyang Jiu’er herself when she was a Half-Step Domain Ancestor in her previous life—not something mere Fifth or Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors could break.

Inside the palace, Ye Tian saw an array of treasures, some just used as decorations, showing how wealthy Ouyang Jiu’er had been in the past.

The palace led to multiple treasure vaults, each holding different kinds of treasures.

Ouyang Jiu’er brought Ye Tian to one of these vaults and opened its doors.

Though few in number, each item in this vault was extraordinarily precious. Ye Tian even spotted some forbidden wondrous objects and a Forbidden Supreme Treasure.

This Forbidden Supreme Treasure was a pearl emitting an aura of powerful forbidden laws.

“This pearl, I call it the ‘War Pearl.’ It’s designed to assist in battle! Although we True Ancestors who wield Dark Forbidden Power can only control limited amounts of it, this War Pearl can store Dark Forbidden Power and, in battle, allows unrestricted use, greatly boosting combat effectiveness. It can even absorb an enemy’s Dark Forbidden Power. While it can’t absorb it all, just taking in part of it is enough to weaken the opponent’s attacks! In terms of grade, it’s only an ordinary Forbidden Supreme Treasure, but its value far exceeds most Forbidden Supreme Treasures!” Ouyang Jiu’er explained.

“This Forbidden Supreme Treasure is incredible!” Ye Tian was astonished.

If he fought Ouyang Jiu’er while she held the War Pearl, she could easily suppress him. Of course, if the strength gap were large enough, even a treasure like the War Pearl would make no difference.

The War Pearl wasn’t meant for Ye Tian; Ouyang Jiu’er was merely explaining it to him.

Next, she introduced many other valuable items, each one inspiring awe and desire.

Yet Ye Tian remained indifferent, perhaps because he’d seen too many such treasures.

But when Ouyang Jiu’er took out a certain object, he couldn’t remain calm any longer.

It was a fragment of a damaged stone stele, covered in forbidden laws and inscribed with forbidden characters that he was seeing for the first time.

“This stele fragment,” Ouyang Jiu’er said, pointing at it, “is something I retrieved from a special location within the Dark Forbidden Domain, barely escaping with my life. Unfortunately, it’s of little use to me, but it’s invaluable to you!”

“What is it?” Ye Tian asked, curious.

“It’s likely a fragment of a top-tier Forbidden Supreme Treasure from the Dark Forbidden Domain. Its purpose seems to be recording the rules of the Dark Forbidden. Some forbidden characters were naturally inscribed on it. Each of these characters holds a profound mystery, almost representing a form of Forbidden Dao in itself.

Big Brother Ye, the path you’re taking isn’t a simple one—it’s a new path forged from the fusion of countless Daos. Such a journey is incredibly difficult. I’ve seen many peerless talents attempt this path, but one by one, they failed, eventually choosing only a single Dao.

For example, you’ve comprehended the Pinnacle Saber Dao, the Pinnacle Wind Dao, and the Pinnacle Life Dao, but these are only a small part of the Daos you cultivate. The challenge of comprehending your own ultimate Dao is unimaginable,” Ouyang Jiu’er said.

Ye Tian didn’t argue. She was right. He was walking the Infinite Dao, but to comprehend the Supreme Infinite Dao was exceptionally difficult. To master each Pinnacle Dao would take endless ages.

At this point, Ouyang Jiu’er added, “This stele can help you. It records the Forbidden Dao, which is, in essence, the most fundamental Origin Dao.

You can comprehend the numerous Forbidden Daos inscribed on it, merging them with your own Daos. This way, by using the Forbidden Dao as your foundation, you can forge your own Supreme Forbidden Dao! It would be far easier, sparing you the effort of comprehending each Pinnacle Dao individually. Eventually, the Pinnacle Daos would lead to the Forbidden Dao, so you can skip that step and not get hung up on them.

Those who aim only to become a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor get tangled in perfecting their Pinnacle Daos! But for someone like you, a Supreme True Ancestor, there’s no need to waste time perfecting countless Pinnacle Daos. The Forbidden Dao is the essence and the ultimate direction. Even Domain Ancestors seek to comprehend the Forbidden Dao! This fragment holds countless Forbidden Daos, almost an encyclopedia, but they’re still at a basic level, making it suitable for a beginner.

“So, it’s ideal for you, but of no use to me!” Ouyang Jiu’er finished her introduction, and Ye Tian’s eyes fixed on the damaged stone stele, his heart deeply shaken.

He carefully stored the fragment away and gratefully said, “Jiu’er, thank you!”

He understood well that the value of this fragment far surpassed that of the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart. Even if the Heavenly Forbidden Tree’s heart held great worth, it was of little use to an Invincible True Ancestor, but this stele was invaluable to one.

Moreover, Ouyang Jiu’er had paid a great price to retrieve it from the Dark Forbidden Domain when she was a Half-Step Domain Ancestor. Its value was immeasurable.
