Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1135: The True Plan of the Heavenly Emperor Palace

TL: Etude

Shortly after,

Ouyang Jiu’er handed Ye Tian a small piece of Forbidden Primal Stone. Although it was a mere fragment, no more than one percent of the original stone, Ye Tian felt thrilled.

After all, their relationship hadn’t yet reached an intimate level; they were, strictly speaking, just friends and partners. Many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, despite appearing to be friends, would resort to deadly combat if Forbidden Primal Stones were at stake.

Therefore, for Ouyang Jiu’er to give him even a small piece was already quite generous.

Had she given him too much, he would not have dared to accept it! Ye Tian lingered in Ouyang Jiu’er’s residence for a while, and the two of them chatted at length.

Afterward, Ye Tian returned to his palace to begin a closed-door cultivation session, using the Forbidden Dao Stone to elevate his cultivation while studying the Forbidden Dao through the Forbidden Primal Stone. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Elsewhere…

Within the Heavenly Emperor Palace,

Palace Master Zhenwu and Palace Master Azure Dragon stood at the edge of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Palace Master Zhenwu held a battle bow in his hands.

“Zhenwu, that shot of yours just now was impeccable—ghostly and untraceable. No one will know that this arrow was fired by us. I imagine the Heavenly Sea Sect is now suspecting both the Limitless Sky Sect and the Myriad Domains Divine Hall!” Palace Master Azure Dragon chuckled.

“It’s no fun, always skulking in the shadows like this—too stifling! I actually prefer a direct kill!” Palace Master Zhenwu replied.

Palace Master Azure Dragon nodded in agreement, “I prefer direct action, too. These small tricks just aren’t my style. But there’s no choice; we cannot disobey the Domain Ancestor’s orders. Our task is to facilitate the birth of the Forbidden Realm, and nothing must disrupt this process.

Unfortunately, the Forbidden Realm is exceedingly difficult to bring forth. After all our efforts, we’ve only managed to produce a faint indication of it. The Profound Void Ancient Realm now requires vast quantities of blood and souls—preferably of True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors—to allow it to continuously evolve until it finally becomes the Forbidden Realm.

However, the number of True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors needed is staggering. If we were to openly attack, all the sects would certainly resist us. In this way, by slowly picking them off one by one, we ensure that each generation of True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors is gradually eliminated, which will ultimately nurture the Profound Void Ancient Realm.”

“Indeed!” Palace Master Zhenwu nodded. “No matter how they grow, they’ll never surpass our Heavenly Emperor Palace. As long as no Domain Ancestor emerges, they are at our mercy! Once the Forbidden Realm comes into existence, we can use it as a beacon to guide the Domain Ancestor across the Dark Forbidden Domain straight to us!”

However, a thought flickered through their minds—a tempting notion of not summoning the Domain Ancestor. In such an unfamiliar domain, they would become the supreme power, ruling over an entire domain.

But the thought vanished almost instantly; they dared not entertain it.

Firstly, Palace Master White Tiger, another lord of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, was a descendant of Domain Ancestor Vast Sea. Though his strength was inferior to theirs, he would never allow them to do such a thing.

Secondly, even without the Forbidden Realm as a beacon, Domain Ancestor Vast Sea would eventually find this domain.

They knew full well Domain Ancestor Vast Sea’s might. Regarded as one of the strongest domain masters in history, he had singlehandedly held his ground against multiple Domain Ancestors, never yielding an inch. They didn’t believe that any of those Domain Ancestors could besiege and defeat Domain Ancestor Vast Sea.

And most importantly, if the Forbidden Realm were to emerge, they themselves might have a chance to seize upon the grand opportunity during its creation to ascend to the level of Domain Ancestor.

Otherwise, even though they were already Half-Step Domain Ancestors with the potential to reach that level, they had no idea how many long, interminable years it would take.

Thus, the birth of the Forbidden Realm was their goal.

“By the way, I heard that a True Ancestor managed to seize the Forbidden Primal Stone, and even the heavens couldn’t trace this True Ancestor’s whereabouts. It seems that person intentionally blocked the Heavenly Emperor Mirror!” Palace Master Zhenwu suddenly remarked.

“Indeed, very strange!” Palace Master Azure Dragon frowned. “The Heavenly Emperor Mirror can perceive all things, tracking even the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors’ movements. We’ve located and locked onto them with it, yet how could a mere True Ancestor escape its reach? Unless that individual possesses a treasure of equal strength to the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, or perhaps even holds a forbidden ability! My guess is that a forbidden secret art is most likely involved. If a Supreme True Ancestor possesses such a secret art to counter the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, they’re certainly a reincarnation of an old friend.”

“This possibility exists, so let’s stay alert. A Supreme True Ancestor with such elusive means will certainly have the potential to become a Half-Step Domain Ancestor in the future. We can’t let them disrupt our plans!” said Palace Master Zhenwu.

“Even if they know our plan, they wouldn’t dare interfere—that would be suicide! Besides, Half-Step Domain Ancestors would also desire the birth of the Forbidden Realm. Take Blackwind Mountain, for instance. That force very likely has a Half-Step Domain Ancestor as well. Domain Ancestor Vast Sea himself once said that Blackwind Mountain is highly mysterious, and even he isn’t confident he could eliminate them.”

“No matter how detailed our plan is, we can’t be certain it’s hidden from Blackwind Mountain,” Palace Master Azure Dragon replied. “But they’ve made no moves, which perhaps means they’ve tacitly approved our plan.”

“Blackwind Mountain… they’re just bandits. Driven by profit, they won’t disrupt our scheme. In any case, we of the Heavenly Emperor Palace must remain hidden for now. At the very least, we should wait until the Profound Void Ancient Realm advances to the Archaic Realm before we reveal ourselves!” said Palace Master Zhenwu.

In the Profound Void Ancient Realm, the various factions were unaware of the conversation between Palace Master Azure Dragon and Palace Master Zhenwu. Otherwise, they’d have rushed to attack the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Because they didn’t know the truth, the fall of the Dao Ancestor Mystic Immortal made the relationships between the three Ninth Heaven factions extremely tense, even straining their relations with the Eighth Heaven factions.

The Heavenly Sea Sect now left no one above suspicion.

In this climate, the conflicts between the Heavenly Sea Sect and the other Eighth Heaven and Ninth Heaven factions grew relentless, leading to numerous deadly battles between True Ancestors.

Meanwhile, the situation of the True Ancestors within the War God True Nation was dire. Any True Ancestor suspected of possessing a Forbidden Dao Stone or any forbidden wondrous object found themselves assassinated. Even those without such items weren’t spared if they fell under suspicion… Under these circumstances, the True Ancestors who actually held Forbidden Dao Stones or other forbidden treasures began trading these items with Dao Ancestors behind the scenes for large quantities of resources to quickly strengthen themselves—or simply went into hiding altogether.

Whenever a Forbidden Treasure Land appeared, chaos reigned in the Profound Void Ancient Realm. Many True Ancestors fell, but others also rose to prominence.

During this time, the human race experienced a rare period of comfort. Numerous human geniuses ventured out to train, and individuals from other factions showed them great respect; few dared to provoke the humans.

This respect wasn’t for anything else but because Ye Tian had become a Supreme True Ancestor, his power far surpassing that of other Invincible True Ancestors, even capable of killing them with ease.

Without interference from Dao Ancestors, who would dare offend Ye Tian? And how could a Dao Ancestor so easily emerge from seclusion? Every Dao Ancestor, upon reappearing, would find it exceedingly difficult to do so again, as the cost was beyond what they could bear.

Furthermore, ordinary Dao Ancestors who did emerge would be easily overpowered by Ye Tian. Only the very top Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors could match him in battle, and even Eighth Heaven Pinnacle Dao Ancestors struggled to kill him.

Thus, under Ye Tian’s protection, the human race could claim to be the foremost faction within the Profound Void Ancient Realm.

Ye Tian, however, didn’t concern himself with these trivial matters. As long as there was no internal strife within the human race, he allowed them to flaunt their strength as they pleased. After all, the Dao Ancestors of the Profound Void Ancient Realm were currently unable to casually reemerge, and he alone could maintain order.

Of course, he was also dedicating himself to cultivation, striving to elevate his strength to a new tier.

In the blink of an eye, 800,000 years passed.

One day, Ye Tian received good news: he had finally cultivated the Great Desolate Dao Body, a Middle Thousand Dao Technique, to the limit realm.

Achieving this limit marked a significant boost to his strength.

Another tens of thousands of years passed, and he had refined his Forbidden Body to fifty percent completion, while his True Ancestral Force, physical strength, and soul power had all increased significantly.

Then, after another hundred thousand years, he elevated the Myriad Fiends True Spear, another Middle Thousand Dao Technique, to the limit realm.

As time went on, one Middle Thousand Dao Technique after another reached the limit realm, enhancing Ye Tian’s power to a level far beyond his past self.

Now, if Ye Tian were to confront Dao Ancestor Xumi again, he wouldn’t be gravely injured with a single strike, nor would he need to rely on origin force to heal.

Of course, in the Profound Void Ancient Realm, he still couldn’t contend with a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor like Dao Ancestor Xumi; at best, he could last a few more exchanges.

“I still need to rely on the Forbidden Dao. Once I comprehend the Forbidden Dao, even if I don’t attain the Infinite Forbidden Dao, my strength would undergo a massive transformation, giving me absolute confidence in battling the weaker Pinnacle Dao Ancestors head-to-head!” Ye Tian thought to himself.
