Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1145: The Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Grand Scheme!

TL: Etude

“The Heavenly Emperor Palace is about to make a major move.”

Ye Tian was startled and quickly asked, “Jiu’er, where did you get this information?”

Ouyang Jiu’er replied, “The source isn’t convenient to reveal right now, but I can assure you it’s true! And this time, the stakes are incredibly high. It’s likely that countless True Ancestors and numerous Dao Ancestors will fall. If you can avoid getting involved, don’t participate! And even if you do, don’t let your family join. The risk of their deaths is simply too high!”

“What exactly is this?” Ye Tian asked seriously.

Ouyang Jiu’er replied solemnly, “To be straightforward, the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s long-standing plan has been to incite clashes among the great forces, causing a massive death toll, particularly at the Dao Ancestor level. The more Dao Ancestors fall, the better.”

“Why?” Ye Tian frowned, “From what I’ve heard, the Heavenly Emperor Palace is very powerful. If they wanted, they could kill numerous Dao Ancestors and destroy countless sects directly. Why go through all this? With this strategy, the number of Dao Ancestor deaths would hardly be significant.”

Ouyang Jiu’er shook her head, saying, “They don’t dare to act openly. Otherwise, if other forces united, even the Heavenly Emperor Palace would fear them.

You don’t really think the major powers have no trump cards, do you? Take Blackwind Mountain, for instance. Their strength is incredibly mysterious.

As for why they want to kill so many True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors, it’s primarily related to the Forbidden Realm.

You might think a Forbidden Realm is born easily, but they’re using something akin to a blood sacrifice, sacrificing countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors to fuel the growth of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, pushing it to evolve into a Forbidden Realm.

However, recently, the number of Dao Ancestor deaths has significantly decreased, so they’re now scheming something big, preparing to kill off a large number of Dao Ancestors!” 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

“If their plan is leaked, won’t the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s efforts be for nothing?” Ye Tian asked.

“No.” Ouyang Jiu’er explained, “Even if the plan is leaked, many still won’t be able to resist jumping in. The opportunity this time is simply too tempting, and the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s resources are vast enough to drive any Dao Ancestor mad!”

Through Ouyang Jiu’er’s explanation, Ye Tian finally understood what the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s plot entailed.

A large Forbidden Treasure Land was about to emerge! Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had placed a Forbidden Supreme Treasure capable of glimpsing the future within it, something no Dao Ancestor could ignore.

However, the Heavenly Emperor Palace wasn’t willing to hand over that forbidden treasure, so they created numerous restrictions, locking it entirely within the Forbidden Treasure Land. Only the three Palace Masters of the Heavenly Emperor Palace could remove it, leaving others with only the option to enter the Forbidden Treasure Land to use it to glimpse the path ahead.

Additionally, the value of a large Forbidden Treasure Land was immense. Forbidden Treasure Lands like the Forbidden Mountain Range and the Forbidden Forest were considered only common Forbidden Treasure Lands. Even the Forbidden Ancient Well was merely a mid-sized Forbidden Treasure Land, and not even a top-tier one—just barely meeting the standard for a mid-sized Forbidden Treasure Land.

Thus, one could only imagine how many wondrous forbidden objects and Forbidden Supreme Treasures would be born within a large Forbidden Treasure Land! Normally, a large Forbidden Treasure Land would yield more than ten Forbidden Supreme Treasures, enough to drive Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors to madness.

“This time, the Heavenly Emperor Palace truly paid a massive price. They refrained from taking the Forbidden Supreme Treasure in that large Forbidden Treasure Land and even placed another forbidden treasure within, all just to trap and kill those Dao Ancestors! Imagine how many Dao Ancestors will enter this time.

More importantly, that large Forbidden Treasure Land can partially shield the rules of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, so although Dao Ancestors may find it challenging to unleash their full power, they’ll still be able to last a considerable time without being forced to retreat or go into a sealing slumber. So, within this large Forbidden Treasure Land, the battles are sure to be brutally fierce!” Ouyang Jiu’er said.

Ye Tian fell silent. He had to admit that he was tempted. He knew it was dangerous but still felt the urge to go in.

It was clear that other Dao Ancestors, even if they knew it was a trap, would still rush in, driven by the desire to seize the opportunities there.

For instance, the chance to glimpse the future path—who wouldn’t want to see it? Many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors had reached the end of their path, deeply uncertain about the future. A glimpse of that future path could give them hope to break through their limits and ascend to even higher levels!

Ye Tian knew that without Ouyang Jiu’er’s warning, he might have ventured into that large Forbidden Treasure Land without a full understanding of it, perhaps even bringing along Xiao Yue and his two children.

After all, Xiao Yue’s strength had reached the level of an Invincible True Ancestor.

Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue were Pinnacle True Ancestors, advancing quickly in power, and had recently gained Dao-level Core talents. It likely wouldn’t take long for them to achieve Pinnacle Dao Ancestor strength.

At that point, with the help of the Starblade and other resources, they would be able to challenge weaker Invincible True Ancestors.

Thus, with their impressive strength, they would undoubtedly want to take a look at the Forbidden Treasure Land.

If a war erupted then, he couldn’t possibly protect all his loved ones.

If his family members fell, he couldn’t imagine how he would feel—he would likely collapse and go mad!

“Jiu’er, thank you for the warning!” Ye Tian said gratefully.

“It’s nothing, but don’t let this slip out. If the Heavenly Emperor Palace finds out, they may stop at nothing to kill you!”

“I understand!” Ye Tian nodded.

…

At the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

The three Palace Masters were discussing the large Forbidden Treasure Land plan.

“Lord Zhenwu, is everything ready?”

Palace Master Azure Dragon asked, “Has everything been handled?”

“It’s all set!” Palace Master Zhenwu replied. “I personally placed the Haotian Imperial Mirror, a mid-tier Forbidden Supreme Treasure, within the Forbidden Treasure Land. However, this comes at a significant cost. If anything goes wrong, we’re risking the Haotian Imperial Mirror!”

“We must be willing to sacrifice to gain rewards. Moreover, activating the Haotian Imperial Mirror, with its unique forbidden qualities, requires the blood of numerous True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors. The power of a Dao Ancestor alone is simply insufficient to sustain it for long. Those Invincible Dao Ancestors or Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, desperate to unlock the future’s path with the Haotian Imperial Mirror, will surely resort to massive slaughter! Regardless of its great utility, we must be willing to part with a forbidden treasure with such a serious flaw. Otherwise, at our current pace, progress is far too slow! Or do you truly want to wait countless billions of years?” said Palace Master Azure Dragon.

“Very well. Since the plan is decided, let’s proceed—no need to discuss it further,” Palace Master White Tiger interjected.

Palace Master Azure Dragon and Palace Master Zhenwu both nodded, agreeing to drop the matter.

The three Palace Masters continued refining their plan in detail, including the exact timing for the large Forbidden Treasure Land to be revealed and their contingency measures for any unexpected changes. They needed to ensure that every aspect of the plan would be executed flawlessly.

…

Time passed, and a hundred thousand years flew by.

Ye Tian’s True Ancestral Force, physical strength, and soul power had all reached their peaks after relentless practice with forbidden techniques, leaving little room for further advancement. Additionally, his Vajra Battle Body, a Middle Thousand Dao Technique, had also been cultivated to its limit, with no more room for improvement.

His Forbidden Body, having reached 60% refinement, had now stagnated, barely advancing beyond this point, as though trapped at a bottleneck.

The only area of progress was in the Forbidden Dao itself, as he managed to comprehend a few additional forbidden paths, which was promising news. However, he still had a long way to go to fully grasp all the forbidden paths.

One day, as Ye Tian meditated in seclusion, he sensed a massive disturbance throughout the Profound Void Ancient Realm, as if something monumental had occurred.

Countless True Ancestors among the human race emerged from seclusion, each seeking the source of the upheaval.

Ye Tian understood well—a large Forbidden Treasure Land had come into being.

Unable to stop the True Ancestors of the human race, he could only send out a message warning them of the extreme dangers within the Forbidden Treasure Land, noting that even Invincible True Ancestors would face life-threatening odds if they entered.

Whether anyone would heed his advice was beyond his control.

If a large number of True Ancestors ventured in and perished, it would simply mean their fates weren’t strong enough, or their luck had run out.

“Father!”

Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue immediately came to find Ye Tian.

“Father, what’s happening? Why is the entire Profound Void Ancient Realm trembling? And I sense some kind of forbidden rules emanating from a distant place,” Ye Xingchen asked.

“It seems that a large Forbidden Treasure Land has been born, but this time, you two are forbidden from going!” Ye Tian instructed.

“Why?” Ye Xingchen frowned.

“Because this is a trap. Countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors may fall in that large Forbidden Treasure Land, and even the strongest Dao Ancestors might not survive.

Others, driven by greed, will inevitably enter, but you two cannot go. If there are significant gains, I will bring them to you. But if you go, I won’t be able to protect you,” Ye Tian sighed.

Hearing his father admit he wouldn’t be able to protect them, Ye Xingchen understood the danger.

He wasn’t foolish; he knew his father must have some insider information, though it wasn’t convenient to disclose.

Now was not the time to cause trouble or demand to go.

So, Ye Xingchen said, “Father, I won’t go.”

Ye Xingyue, just as considerate, quickly added, “Father, I won’t go either!”

Xiao Yue and Ye Yu were equally obedient to Ye Tian’s words. Since they also had little taste for killing, they had no plans to go either.

But Ye Tian himself still intended to go, though not in person. Instead, he would send his replicated body—Heavenly General Nine Limits! This way, even if Heavenly General Nine Limits fell within the large Forbidden Treasure Land, he would suffer no real loss.
