Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1132: The Forbidden Primal Stone

TL: Etude

“That is….”

Ye Tian’s expression shifted, his gaze filled with shock.

Dao Ancestor Ancient Wind no longer kept his eyes on Ye Tian but instead fixed them on the crack, filled with boundless greed.

“The Forbidden Primal Stone! Heavens, this vein of Forbidden Dao Stones has actually produced a Forbidden Primal Stone!” Dao Ancestor Ancient Wind couldn’t help but exclaim.

Ye Tian also knew a bit about the Forbidden Primal Stone. Recently, he had tried to learn as much as possible about forbidden wondrous objects and supreme treasures, as well as various secret histories.

Since becoming a Heavenly General of Blackwind Mountain, his level of authority had greatly increased, allowing him access to many classified records within the Blackwind Mountain libraries. Among these was information about the Forbidden Primal Stone.

The Forbidden Primal Stone was born within a Forbidden Dao Stone vein, though this was exceedingly rare. The size of the stone vein had no bearing on the chance of its appearance. Large veins of Forbidden Dao Stones didn’t guarantee a Forbidden Primal Stone, nor did small veins preclude one.

In essence, the Forbidden Primal Stone was a supreme treasure of low probability, a type of medium-grade Forbidden Supreme Treasure.

The Forbidden Primal Stone could be called an all-purpose supreme treasure. It allowed Dao Ancestors to wield the Dark Forbidden Power, could repair origin wounds, temper physical bodies, purify the power of Dao Ancestors, and could even be used to forge forbidden weapons.

Most importantly, it could help Pinnacle Dao Ancestors attain Invincible Dao Ancestor combat power.

Pinnacle Dao Ancestors possessed Dark Forbidden Power and typically commanded Pinnacle Dao. The primary difference between an Invincible Dao Ancestor and a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor was that the former had taken a Dao path to its ultimate end, making them truly invincible.

For example, if Ye Tian took his Infinite Dao to its absolute limit, it would undergo a qualitative transformation, enabling him to step into the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm. But if he only relied on other factors to barely contend with an Invincible Dao Ancestor, he would remain merely a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, comparable to but not truly invincible.

However, mastery of the Forbidden Dao was an exception, transcending all other Daos, making it a unique case.

The Forbidden Primal Stone’s greatest function lay in elevating a Dao’s origin to its peak, allowing a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor to fully cultivate a Dao to its utmost end and thereby step into the Invincible Dao Ancestor power level.

For every Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, it represented a beacon of hope.

For Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, it was equally precious.

“If I could obtain the Forbidden Primal Stone, I could not only enter the realm of Pinnacle Dao Ancestor but also break through to the Invincible Dao Ancestor level!”

Dao Ancestor Ancient Wind was driven mad, charging forward at top speed.

Other Dao Ancestors reacted just as swiftly, rushing down as well, each trying to seize the Forbidden Primal Stone.

Ye Tian, too, was no slower—who wouldn’t want a treasure like this? In an instant, chaos erupted at Blackwind Mountain.

The Wind King and Fire King, who had been keeping an eye on news from the Forbidden Mountain Range, could no longer hold back after hearing of the Forbidden Primal Stone’s appearance.

“Fire King, I’m planning to force my way into the world. Though I don’t know the exact size of this Forbidden Primal Stone, it will surely be enough for me alone!” The Wind King spoke up.

“Be careful, Wind King. This time, you won’t be the only Pinnacle Dao Ancestor taking action. I’ll help you as well. If the Forbidden Primal Stone is small, you use it alone and first break through to the Invincible Dao Ancestor level. But if it’s large enough, leave a share for me!” The Fire King replied.

“Thank you!” The Wind King said with a smile.

In the turbulent flow of time and space, within a sealed location.

This place lay outside the jurisdiction of the Profound Void Ancient Realm’s origin, meaning as long as one didn’t step outside the sealed region, they would be free from the suppressive power of the Profound Void Ancient Realm’s rules. At this moment, an elderly figure clad in ancient battle robes and a golden mask emerged from an old stone coffin.

Emblazoned on his battle robe was an ancient forbidden character—Wind! This was his identity: the Wind King! This was his true form!

With a rustle, the Wind King walked out from his place of sealed slumber, stepped into the time-space turbulence, and crossed into the Profound Void Ancient Realm, heading towards the Forbidden Mountain Range.

Along the way, he encountered the rule-based attacks and suppression of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, countless chains of rules binding him and continually diminishing his strength.

“I can only exert the power of a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor, but it will be enough!” The Wind King muttered with a frown.

Elsewhere, the Fire King also emerged from his place of sealed slumber and joined up with the Wind King.

Not only did Blackwind Mountain’s Pinnacle True Ancestors take action, but the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors from other Eighth and Ninth Heaven forces also mobilized.

For example, the Purple Mist Sect’s Pinnacle Dao Ancestor—Dao Ancestor Pure Yang!

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s Pinnacle Dao Ancestors—Dao Ancestor Secret Sword and Dao Ancestor Myriad Swords!

Vajra City’s Pinnacle Dao Ancestors—Dao Ancestor Blood Demon and Dao Ancestor Ten Kills!

The Heaven Saber Sect’s Pinnacle Dao Ancestors—Dao Ancestor Void Cleaver and Dao Ancestor Silver Slasher!

The Heavenly Sea Sect’s Pinnacle Dao Ancestors—Dao Ancestor Divine Sea, Dao Ancestor Mystic Immortal, and Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds!

The Myriad Domains Divine Hall’s Pinnacle Dao Ancestors—Dao Ancestor Heavenly Artifact, Dao Ancestor Tianqi, and Dao Ancestor Tianxiu!

The Limitless Sky Sect Pinnacle Dao Ancestors—Dao Ancestor Xumi, Dao Ancestor Cloud Mist, and Dao Ancestor Heaven Devourer.

(note: Dao Ancestor Heavenly Artifact is transliterally Tianqi as well, but I translated it to differentiate them)

…

One by one, the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors of these Eighth Heaven and higher forces descended upon the Forbidden Mountain Range with lightning speed. Their objective was clear—seize the Forbidden Primal Stone.

It became evident how invaluable the Forbidden Primal Stone was to them.

In the depths of the chaotic currents of time and space, within the Heavenly Emperor Palace—

Imperial Monarch Guangling also received word of the Forbidden Primal Stone. He had been responsible for monitoring this matter, dispatching numerous True Ancestors throughout the Profound Void Ancient Realm to gather information, though not to vie for any opportunities.

The arrival of the news about the Forbidden Primal Stone left him shaken.

Although he’d long aimed to stir up conflict among the great powers, hoping to incite battles among the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors—ideally leading to the fall of a few—he could not ignore the allure of the Forbidden Primal Stone.

“The Forbidden Primal Stone… Even though I have reached the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm, if I obtained it, I could nurture subordinates at the Invincible Dao Ancestor level. If I offered it to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, I might even exchange it for a supreme treasure that would aid me in advancing to the Half-Step Domain Ancestor level!” Imperial Monarch Guangling’s thoughts raced with anticipation.

However, a mandate from the three palace masters had forbidden participation in treasure disputes. They had already broken protocol once previously in secrecy, but with so many Dao Ancestors converging now, the Heavenly Emperor Palace could not risk exposure.

“Such a pity!” sighed Imperial Monarch Guangling.

As an Invincible Dao Ancestor, he could restrain his desire for the Forbidden Primal Stone, knowing it held little value to him personally. Yet, many of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors within the Heavenly Emperor Palace struggled to hold back—they all wanted to break free and rush to claim it.

Just as several Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were about to charge out, a figure appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Emperor Palace, suppressing those restless Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.

“Hail the Palace Master Azure Dragon!” they all kowtowed and saluted.

At its peak, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had six palace masters—Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Zhenwu, and Qi Tian. Sadly, three had perished in the Realm Domain Cataclysm, leaving only three remaining.

Of the three, Palace Master Azure Dragon was indisputably the most powerful, even surpassing Palace Master Zhenwu. Rarely did he show himself, yet this time he appeared.

“No Dao Ancestor shall leave the Heavenly Emperor Palace.”

“Though the Forbidden Primal Stone is precious, the treasures that arise if the Forbidden Domain awakens far surpass it. This is a prosperous era, offering the chance for anyone to reach the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm. If you dare jeopardize the plan, you will die even if you acquire the Forbidden Primal Stone!” Palace Master Azure Dragon’s cold voice declared.

Threads of murderous intent seemed to hang above each Pinnacle Dao Ancestor’s head, filling them with fear. Lowering their heads, they replied, “Understood!”

No one dared defy Palace Master Azure Dragon. Compared to the gentler Palace Master Zhenwu, Azure Dragon was a master of slaughter, with a history of killing countless Dao Ancestors. He had even once executed a Half-Step Domain Ancestor who opposed the Heavenly Emperor Palace, a feat that had intimidated the Vast Sea Domain for countless ages.

Anyone who dared disobey him would face certain death, even if they held the title of Imperial Monarch within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

With Azure Dragon’s appearance, the Heavenly Emperor Palace officially withdrew from the contest for the Forbidden Primal Stone.

Meanwhile—

The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors had already arrived at the Forbidden Dao Stone vein within the Forbidden Mountain Range.

The first to descend was Limitless Sky Sect’s Dao Ancestor Xumi. His unmatched speed outstripped the others, allowing him to traverse any location within the Profound Void Ancient Realm almost instantly.

As a result, he arrived first.

“Everyone, get lost!” Dao Ancestor Xumi shouted.

A Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor blocked his path, only for Dao Ancestor Xumi to pierce through him with a single strike, sending him flying and leaving him severely injured.

He effortlessly shook off several other Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors—they were simply no match for him.

The might of an Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor was terrifying indeed!
