Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 316: Heavenly Prides Cannot Be Insulted!

TL: You Yang

PR: Etude

Shortly after Ye Tian, along with Liu Qingyi and Qin Zixuan, left, they soon returned to Qingfeng Giant City.

“Ye Tian, we must leave now. Let’s meet again next time!” Liu Qingyi and Qin Zixuan bid farewell to Ye Tian.

“Others may call me the Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws’, but we are friends. From now on, just call me Ye Tian. If that’s too informal, ‘Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws’ is also fine,” Ye Tian said.

Suddenly, Liu Qingyi, with a serious expression, said, “A Heavenly Pride cannot be insulted. Don’t think that it’s just a mere title; it holds an extraordinary significance!”

“A Heavenly Pride cannot be insulted? It has an extraordinary significance?” Ye Tian was surprised, hearing this for the first time.

“Many Emperors treated you courteously, some from Qingfeng Giant City’s top powers. Why were they so polite? Is it truly out of fear for your strength? No, it’s the title of Heavenly Pride they fear, not your strength. Even God level experts won’t overstep. Even if they could easily kill a God level being, they still fear offending a Heavenly Pride. Do you know why?” Liu Qingyi asked.

“Why?” Ye Tian was equally curious.

“A Heavenly Pride cannot be insulted!” Liu Qingyi explained. “If someone insults a Heavenly Pride and gets killed by them, the offender’s backing forces wouldn’t dare to retaliate. That person deserved to die. ‘Heavenly Pride cannot be insulted’ is not just an empty phrase but a rule. Once, a major power, with many True Gods, was destroyed by humanity’s higher echelons because they sent a True God to kill a Heavenly Pride. That incident led to the death of many True Gods, Gods, and Emperors.”

“What!” Ye Tian was shocked.

The death of a Heavenly Pride led to so many True Gods and God level beings being buried along, even destroying the entire force!

This…

Ye Tian didn’t know what to say.

Liu Qingyi continued, “You might think that Heavenly Pride had a powerful master or an extraordinary background. But that Heavenly Pride was just a native emerging from a human planet. They had just stepped out of their own world not long ago. Their demise was due to provoking a spoiled brat, leading to the destruction of a major force. This incident made everyone aware that ‘Heavenly Pride cannot be insulted’ is not a mere saying. No force dares to attack a Heavenly Pride. Only a Heavenly Pride can kill a being above the God level. Anyone who dares to strike against a Heavenly Pride meets a fatal end!”

“The title of Heavenly Pride has such benefits!” Ye Tian was surprised and also pleased.

It seems that as long as he doesn’t act recklessly, he should be relatively safe at the Emperor-level.

However, the protection of Heavenly Pride only applies to humans; other races don’t care whether one is a Heavenly Pride or not.

With the title of Heavenly Pride, Ye Tian doesn’t have to worry about forces in Qingfeng Giant City harming him, but he won’t become overly arrogant.

The protection for a Heavenly Pride only lasts until the Emperor-level. Once one becomes a God level being, they are no longer considered a Heavenly Pride.

Humanity’s protection for Heavenly Prides is just to ensure they don’t fall before growing up. They can’t protect them forever; otherwise, humanity would be in chaos.

Qin Zixuan and Liu Qingyi, out of respect, initially addressed Ye Tian as the ‘Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws’, but at Ye Tian’s insistence, they changed to calling him by his real name.

This brought Ye Tian closer to the two women, becoming true friends rather than just seemingly good friends with a bit of unfamiliarity.

After Liu Qingyi and Qin Zixuan left, Ye Tian returned to his residence.

In the following days, numerous forces sent people to woo Ye Tian, but he handled them perfunctorily.

Clearly, they all hoped Ye Tian would join their forces. Having a Heavenly Pride in their ranks would bring many benefits!

Relying on the prestige of the Heavenly Pride could bring many advantages to their forces.

Unfortunately, Ye Tian had no interest in joining any of them.

One day,

Ye Tian was in seclusion for cultivation when Qin Zixuan came to visit.

In the hall…

“Zixuan, what brings you here to see me?” Ye Tian asked.

“I’m here because my father wishes to invite you to the City Lord’s Mansion,” Qin Zixuan said.

“Your father?” Ye Tian frowned. Qin Zixuan’s father, being the son of the City Lord, was a minor City Lord himself. Rumored to possess God level cultivation, he wasn’t far from reaching the True God level, a very powerful figure indeed.

Why would such an important person invite him to the City Lord’s Mansion? Could it be…

“Zixuan, does your father want me to join the Qin family or the City Lord’s Mansion? If that’s the case, I must decline,” Ye Tian warned, hoping to avoid any awkwardness in their relationship.

“That’s not it,” Qin Zixuan clarified. “It seems to be about something else. Don’t worry, if he really invites you to join the City Lord’s Mansion or the Qin family, you can simply refuse. However, my father mentioned something about the Heavenly Pride Order. I’m not clear about the details.”

After a moment of silence, Ye Tian agreed, “Alright, then I’ll visit the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Qin Zixuan led the way, and Ye Tian followed her towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

…

At the City Lord’s Mansion, Ye Tian followed Qin Zixuan to this place, his first visit to the City Lord’s Mansion. The mansion was large and enveloped by a very powerful array. Even with his talent in arrays, Ye Tian could hardly discern the intricacies of this formation, clearly indicating its level was beyond his imagination.

Apart from the array’s protection, the City Lord’s Mansion’s army consisted of Emperor-level warriors, with the presence of God level beings around, indicating the guards included many of them. Deep within the mansion, there were faint but powerful auras far surpassing the God level, surely belonging to beings of the True God level.

“Miss!”

“Miss!”

“Miss!”

One after another, the guards and servants of the City Lord’s Mansion greeted Qin Zixuan, but since they did not recognize Ye Tian, they naturally ignored him.

Soon, Ye Tian arrived at a side hall in the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Ye Tian, please sit here. I will go inform my father,” Qin Zixuan said.

Just then, a voice came, “No need to inform me, I’m here.”

A young man dressed in a green robe entered. He was Qin Zixuan’s father. Due to the long lifespan of God level beings, Qin Zixuan’s father looked very young, quite different from the middle-aged father Ye Tian had imagined.

“Greetings to Great God Zilun!” Ye Tian stood up and respectfully said.

There are specific titles for each level: Emperors have their titles, and so do God level beings. A God level expert must be addressed as ‘Great God’. Zilun, known as the Great Emperor Zilun when at the Emperor-level, should be addressed as Great God Zilun at the God level.

“Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, please, no need for formalities, have a seat,” Great God Zilun said with a smile.

Then, turning to Qin Zixuan, he instructed, “Xuan’er, go tend to your matters.”

The implication was clear: he wanted Qin Zixuan to leave.

“Father, I’ll just sit here quietly and listen, I won’t cause any trouble!” Qin Zixuan, curious, wanted to stay and listen.

Great God Zilun, with a serious expression, said, “Xuan’er, some matters are only for Heavenly Prides or those at the God level to know. You shouldn’t learn of them prematurely, understand?”

Hearing this, Qin Zixuan realized that the conversation between her father and Ye Tian involved secrets. She dared not stay and quickly left.

Once Qin Zixuan had gone, Great God Zilun said, “Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, I’m not here to ask you to join the Qin family or the City Lord’s Mansion. A Heavenly Pride has his pride and wouldn’t join a force so easily. Actually, I’m here to discuss another matter. It’s about asking for your help, which would also benefit you. It’s a mutually beneficial matter.”

“Please speak plainly, Great God Zilun!” Ye Tian was also interested in what Great God Zilun had to say, as long as there were benefits and no harm to him, he wouldn’t mind undertaking such a task.
