Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

A Transcender! Ye Tian could hardly believe it. If the knowledge in this book were true, then the author must be a Transcender or at least know one. Otherwise, there was no way they could have written such detailed information about Transcenders.

Of course, there was also the possibility that the author had made everything up, purely from imagination. However, Ye Tian was certain that the owner of this manor had to be an incredibly powerful being. Even if they were not a Transcender, they were a heaven-defying Supreme.

Such a being would never collect a book full of fabricated information about Transcenders. Therefore, it was highly likely that this book was real and perhaps even written by a Transcender.

“According to my guess, perhaps a Transcender visited here before leaving the universe. It’s even possible that this world was created by a Transcender,” Ye Tian thought.

Ye Tian had explored most of the manor except for a few places. Only one place remained unexplored: an ancient well located at the center of the manor.

This well looked very ordinary, much like the ancient wells found in many homes. However, nothing here could be ordinary.

So Ye Tian returned to the well, ready to investigate its depths. He was unsure what he would find inside. His divine sense could not penetrate the well, indicating that it might be dangerous or contain a great opportunity.

Ye Tian entered the well. In an instant, streams of light flashed before his eyes. He found himself in a strange space with a lake. The lake did not contain ordinary water but water that emitted a faint glow.

Ye Tian reached out and touched the water, feeling it for a moment. Suddenly, a strange energy flowed into his hand. This energy slowly tempered his hand, but Ye Tian did not feel any increase in his strength.

After a while, Ye Tian withdrew his hand and examined it carefully.

“Strange! There’s no change at all!” he thought, puzzled.

Although his hand had been wrapped in strange energy and constantly tempered, there should have been some change given the amount of energy consumed. Yet, there was no visible difference.

He continued testing his hand and eventually discovered the change. When he tested the power of the Dao, he found that the power of the Chaos Dao combined with his hand could now exert more formidable strength. It seemed to be more in harmony with the power of the Chaos Dao than before.

“Could this water enhance the body’s compatibility with the Dao’s power?” Ye Tian thought, astonished.

If that were true, the value of this water would be immeasurable.

Immediately, Ye Tian began collecting the water. After gathering a large quantity, he immersed himself completely in the lake, allowing the strange energy in the water to continually temper his body. Simultaneously, Ye Tian meditated on the Chaos Dao.

He was amazed to find that his comprehension of the Chaos Dao had accelerated significantly. Moreover, his eyes seemed to perceive the Dao’s trajectory, albeit faintly. This proved that his eyes had undergone a fundamental change due to the water. With enough of this water’s tempering, his eyes might eventually observe the Chaos Dao’s trajectory more clearly.

Excitement surged through Ye Tian.

As time passed, his body continued to be tempered by the strange water, becoming increasingly harmonious with the Chaos Dao’s power. The changes in his eyes grew more profound.

Boom!!! An explosion echoed from outside.

“Someone’s coming,” Ye Tian thought to himself.

He knew he couldn’t continue cultivating. If he did and someone arrived, this place would be exposed. So, he collected the remaining water and stored it in the Ancient Chaos Realm.

Immediately, Ye Tian flew out of the ancient well space. Upon emerging, he saw an Immortal Race expert not far away. This expert also saw Ye Tian.

“True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws from the Human Race!” The Immortal Race expert looked excited upon seeing Ye Tian.

Ye Tian felt a slight sense of danger upon seeing this Immortal Race expert. Although it was just a hint of danger, it indicated that this expert was on a completely different level compared to the peak Galaxy level Immortal Race experts he had encountered before.

“This Immortal Race expert is very powerful!” Ye Tian thought.

“True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, you probably don’t know me. I’ve lived for many years and am considered quite ancient even within the Immortal Race. Though I am at the peak of the Galaxy level, I’ve reached the fourth stage of life and have eternal life.

I thought I was the only lonely one in the universe, but it seems another heaven-defying one has been born. If you were a member of the Immortal Race, we could explore the Dao together and pursue the path of the Transcender. Unfortunately, you’re a member of the Human Race, destined to be our enemy! I have a mission to kill you, but I didn’t expect to find you so soon!” The Immortal Race expert spoke confidently.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Tian had some guesses about his identity.

“You’re the first one to pass through the Ten Tribulations Region of the Supreme Mountain with Emperor-level cultivation!” Ye Tian exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right, it’s me!” The Immortal Race expert replied proudly. “I was the first in the universe to pass through the Ten Tribulations Region of the Supreme Mountain with Emperor-level cultivation. I also broke the shackles at the Emperor level, becoming a Supreme Prince and embarking on the heaven-defying path.”

“There were rumors that you died under the tribulation. I didn’t expect you to still be alive. I’m even more surprised that you are only at the peak of the Galaxy level now,” Ye Tian said, astonished.

“Of course, I didn’t die under the tribulation; that was a rumor spread by the Immortal Race!” the Immortal Race expert explained. “Although my strength is formidable, I still don’t dare to challenge the Universal God level. When I reached the Galaxy level, the tribulation almost killed me. If I tried to reach the Universal God level, the tribulation would be too terrifying. I need to continually accumulate power to be confident in challenging the Universal God realm. Without the tribulation, I would already be a Supreme!”

Ye Tian didn’t refute his words because the talent of this Immortal Race expert was indeed terrifying. Without the tribulation, he would certainly have become a Supreme and might even rival the Immortal Race’s top Supreme.

Unfortunately, once on the heaven-defying path, one couldn’t leave it. Every breakthrough to a new major realm required enduring the tribulation.

Clearly, this Immortal Race expert’s accumulation was still insufficient, and he dared not attempt the Universal God tribulation.

“You want to kill me? How coincidental, I want to kill you too!” Ye Tian said with a smile.
