Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

"Ye Tian, let this matter end here… alright?" Dao Ancestor Void Sky spoke to Ye Tian.

"Yes, Master!" Ye Tian nodded.

Although he really wanted to destroy the Demon Sound Sect's foundation in the Grand Universe, if he truly provoked the Dao Ancestor of the Demon Sound Sect, even his master, Dao Ancestor Void Sky, might not be able to protect him.

After all, if a Dao Ancestor wanted to carry out an assassination, not even Dao Ancestor Void Sky could stop it unless he constantly protected Ye Tian. But could that really happen? Now that Dao Ancestor South Abyss had personally stepped in, if Ye Tian still didn't understand the situation and insisted on killing the True Monarchs and Heavenly Monarchs of the Demon Sound Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable! So, taking some benefits and then backing down was undoubtedly the best solution.

"South Abyss, offer up a top-tier innate origin item along with a transmission of a chaos divine ability ranked in the top ten. If so, we'll let this matter rest… how about it?"

Dao Ancestor Void Sky smiled as he looked at Dao Ancestor South Abyss.

"What?! A chaos divine ability ranked in the top ten? Such a divine ability's power is comparable to some weaker Origin Divine Abilities. Even just a slight imitation or modification of it could become a powerful Origin Divine Ability.

Such Chaos divine abilities are practically the foundation for Origin Divine Abilities, and you want me to pay such a price?" Dao Ancestor South Abyss fumed.

"Time-Space Vibration Technique? Ha! Even if I gave it to your disciple, could he even learn it? You need the fusion of three talents—time, space, and vibration—to cultivate the Time-Space Vibration Technique.

And the Time-Space Vibration Fruit required for this fusion? Our Demon Sound Sect has exhausted it all. There's no way we can provide you with that.

However, there is still one top-tier innate origin item that complements the cultivation of the Time-Space Vibration Technique—the Time-Space Vibration Stone. We have one left, and I can give it to your disciple.

But let me make this clear—once the deal is done, there's no going back!" Dao Ancestor South Abyss stated firmly.

"Deal!" Dao Ancestor Void Sky said without hesitation.

"Fine!" Dao Ancestor South Abyss waved his hand, and two beams of light landed in front of Ye Tian.

One was a book containing the transmission of the chaos divine ability, Time-Space Vibration Technique, and the other was the Time-Space Vibration Stone.

"Now get out of here!" Dao Ancestor South Abyss's face darkened as he dismissed them.

"Disciple, let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Dao Ancestor Void Sky wrapped Ye Tian in his power and left, returning to the Void Sky Hall Palace.

Inside Void Sky Hall Palace.

Dao Ancestor Void Sky stared at Ye Tian with an incredulous look, saying, "Disciple, this is incredible.

I had thought that in this lifetime, you would likely be unable to break through the barrier and undo the demonic curse that sealed you.

I was even prepared to forcibly lift the curse for you, even if it meant damaging your foundation, as that would be better than being unable to advance to True Monarch.

But I never expected you to actually achieve the fusion of essence, qi, and spirit.

Now, becoming a Dao Ancestor is only a matter of time for you.

However, you still need to consolidate your foundation carefully. Every realm you ascend must be built on the strongest possible foundation. Otherwise, even if you become a Dao Ancestor, you'll just be an ordinary one. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master!" Ye Tian nodded.

"Disciple, I also know that you have had great fortune. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to achieve the fusion of essence, qi, and spirit. I won't pry into it, but you must remember to protect your life and never expose the secret of this fusion.

Although Dao Ancestor South Abyss knows you have formidable combat power, he doesn't know that you've completed the fusion of essence, qi, and spirit.

But your overwhelming combat strength is somewhat unusual. Perhaps even Dao Ancestor South Abyss might harbor suspicions.

However, in the chaos, there are too many unreasonable occurrences. A Half-Step True Spirit with power like yours isn't unheard of, but those geniuses typically rely on special treasures to exhibit such immense strength.

After today, I will reveal some information, stating that you possess a treasure I granted you, which temporarily amplifies your combat power. That way, no one will have doubts," Dao Ancestor Void Sky reminded him.

"Thank you, Master!" Ye Tian expressed his gratitude.

Dao Ancestor Void Sky's words made sense. Ye Tian's combat prowess was indeed abnormal. No matter how much other geniuses improved, they were nowhere near his level in the Half-Step True Spirit realm. Without a reasonable explanation, if someone investigated his secrets, it could lead to the exposure of his hidden powers.

Thus, Dao Ancestor Void Sky's strategy would help him avoid unnecessary trouble.

Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Void Sky tossed out a treasure. This time, he had brought some items into the Grand Universe, similar to how Dao Ancestor South Abyss sent the Time-Space Vibration Technique transmission into the Grand Universe.

As long as they didn't engage in battle, the cost for Dao Ancestors to send items was negligible, nearly insignificant, and had no substantial impact.

"What is this?" Ye Tian curiously asked as he gazed at the small statue in front of him.

The statue was palm-sized, entirely pitch-black, yet it emitted a strange glow. Even Ye Tian's spiritual sense couldn't penetrate its surface, as if it was capable of blocking out any spiritual senses or forces from invading it.

"This is the Barren Statue, one of the wondrous objects within the chaos. Just as the universe has its own unique objects, so too does the chaos.

Some of these wondrous objects are useless, while others have special effects.

Chaos wondrous objects are quite rare, and most are of little use, but the Barren Statue is different—it can amplify combat strength. For you, it can temporarily enhance your power by tenfold, even up to twentyfold. Even for a True Ancestor, it can increase their strength several times. For a Dao Ancestor, however, it's of little use." Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained.

"Master, this Barren Statue must be incredibly valuable!" Ye Tian asked.

"It is indeed quite valuable, roughly equivalent to a half-Dao Artifact."

"What?! A half-Dao Artifact!!" Ye Tian was utterly shocked.

Such a treasure was an unimaginable fortune, far surpassing the value of those Star Crystals from the Ten Star Sea. Only the Star Heaven Pearl could compare, but it had yet to fully form and would require many more years to mature.

In short, the Barren Statue was the most precious thing Ye Tian had ever seen. If a True Ancestor encountered it, they would undoubtedly fight to the death over it. After all, possessing the Barren Statue would instantly multiply a True Ancestor's power by several times.

Moreover, it might even be useful for those heaven-defying True Ancestors.

Of course, those formidable True Ancestors likely already owned one or more items similar to the Barren Statue and might not care much about it.

"Master, are you really giving this to me?" Ye Tian asked.

"Of course, I'm giving it to you. If I didn't, the lie would be easily exposed. Besides, since you've completed the fusion of essence, qi, and spirit, I naturally have to reward you. Otherwise, wouldn't I appear stingy as your master? The Barren Statue is precious to you, but to me, it's just a trinket. Don't feel bad about accepting it!" Dao Ancestor Void Sky smiled as he spoke.

"Then your disciple will gladly accept it!" Ye Tian joyfully responded.
