I Can Copy Talents Chapter 2143: 2143

Having ascended to the rank of a Fivefold Primordial Ancestor, Ye Tian’s path forward required a continuous influx of rare resources. Only by reaching the Peak Realm of the Fivefold Primordial Ancestor could he hope to challenge the bottleneck of the half-step Sixfold Primordial Ancestor realm.

However, the quantity of treasures necessary to push his cultivation to the peak of the Fifth Origin Ancestor was staggering!

Although the Void Tooth Holy Gate would provide support, Ye Tian knew he could not solely rely on the Sect’s treasury. He had to take the initiative to gather resources himself if he wished to accelerate his progress toward the peak of the Fifth Origin Ancestor.

...

On this particular day, Ye Tian sought out the Feng Ming Origin Ancestor to discuss the acquisition of cultivation materials.

During their conversation, Feng Ming Origin Ancestor admitted, "Endless Origin Ancestor, while the Void Tooth Holy Gate intends to nurture you until you reach the peak of the Fivefold Origin Ancestor, resources suitable for our level are incredibly scarce. Even within our Holy Gate, the stockpile is limited. Consequently, we can only allocate a portion to you every few years. Your cultivation speed may not remain as explosive as it was previously."

"I understand, Feng Ming Ancestor," Ye Tian replied. "That is precisely why I am looking for alternative methods to accumulate resources more rapidly!"

"Finding treasures that benefit a Fivefold Origin Ancestor is no easy feat!" Feng Ming Origin Ancestor sighed. "Every Fivefold Origin Ancestor is desperate for resources to bolster their strength. Even I have yet to reach the peak realm of the Fivefold Origin Ancestor simply because the necessary materials are lacking. Currently, most resource-rich lands in the Upper Spirit Origin Domain are controlled by the six major Fivefold Divine Gates. Our Void Tooth Holy Gate is the weakest among them, so we hold the fewest territories. We are frequently forced to battle other Holy Gates, and occasionally, we even lose control of certain treasure lands. Since these resources belong to the Sect as a whole, the amount distributed to each Fivefold Ancestor is quite small."

"Naturally, many Fivefold Ancestors secretly occupy private treasure lands. This is actually the primary way to gain resources. If you manage to secure such a place, it is best kept a secret from the other ancestors. Generally speaking, one relies on both the Holy Gate’s allocation and their own private holdings."

"If a Supreme Treasure Land were to emerge, it would contain items of immense value to us, making it a primary target. For instance, the last time one appeared, we mobilized a vast number of Fivefold Primordial Ancestors from across the Upper Spirit Origin Domain. We fought off a coalition of the Fivefold Primordial Ancestor Scattered Cultivation Alliance to claim it. Such chances are rare, but when they arise, no Fivefold Origin Ancestor will back down!"

"As it stands, the known resources in the Upper Spirit Origin Domain are already divided among the masters. I am unsure where else one could find materials for our realm. One could venture into other high-level origin domains, but that would surely provoke their half-step Sixfold Primordial Ancestors. I wouldn't recommend that path."

"If luck is on your side, you might stumble upon something in the Primordial Black Sea, but the odds are too low to rely on."

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Feng Ming Origin Ancestor.

"If you could locate a massive lair of Primordial Black Beasts, you might find what you need. However, these creatures hide in the deepest shadows, and some are as powerful as a Fivefold Primordial Ancestor. In our Upper Spirit Origin Domain, there is a force of Primordial Black Beasts known as the Original God Palace, which rivals a Fivefold Holy Gate. The Original God Palace controls many resource-rich lands, but they are extremely selective. They don't take in ordinary beasts; only those of immense value or those at the half-step Fivefold or true Fivefold Origin Ancestor level can join. Furthermore, the Original God Palace is protected by a half-step Sixfold Ancestor. This is why the Upper Spirit Origin Domain hasn't been able to wipe them out. If you can find a storehouse belonging to the Original God Palace and seize it, your gains would be massive."

"Primordial Black Beasts!" Ye Tian noted internally.

After continuing their discussion for a while longer, Ye Tian took his leave.

...

"According to Feng Ming Origin Ancestor, items useful to a Fivefold Origin Ancestor are far too rare. Even he hasn't gathered enough to reach the peak realm. Relying solely on the Void Tooth Holy Gate would take an eternity. But if I can plunder the resources of the Original God Palace, I might have enough!"

Ye Tian’s focus shifted toward the Original God Palace. He didn't know its exact location, and there were no public records. "I may not know where the palace is, but I do know a half-step Fivefold Primordial Black Beast."

Ye Tian recalled the Nine Dust Origin Ancestor, who was at that exact level.

He was certain that the Nine Dust Origin Ancestor maintained a connection with the Dawn Saint Ancestor of the Nine Light Holy Gate.

Even if the Nine Dust Origin Ancestor wasn't a member of the Original God Palace, he surely possessed some information about them.

"It is time to pay a visit to the Nine Dust Ancestor," Ye Tian decided.

...

The Nine Dust Domain.

The region was currently peaceful, with the Nine Dust Origin Ancestor focused on his cultivation.

Lately, there had been no disturbances, and the Dawn Saint Ancestor had not sent any new instructions.

"Curse it, why can't I break through to become a Fivefold Origin Ancestor? I don't have a single clue how to proceed!" the Nine Dust Ancestor grumbled in frustration.

The cultivation path of a Primordial Black Beast differed from that of human cultivators. By refining his physical form nine times, he had reached the half-step Sixfold Primordial Ancestor realm. Although he had pushed himself through eleven temperings, he still couldn't bridge the gap to the Fivefold Primordial Ancestor stage.

"The Dawn Saint Ancestor is definitely withholding the inheritance required to become a Fivefold Origin Ancestor. But I am no match for him, so I cannot force him to hand it over!" the Nine Dust Ancestor muttered.

Just then, a change occurred.

Buzz!!!

An overwhelming presence descended upon the Nine Dust Domain. The figure appearing in the sky was not a cultivator he recognized.

"A Fivefold Ancestor? It's not the Dawn Saint Ancestor... the Nine Dust Domain has been compromised!"

The Nine Dust Origin Ancestor was paralyzed with shock. This was a hidden river basin; how could a foreign Fivefold Ancestor have found it?

Had the Dawn Saint Ancestor sold him out?

No, he was merely an insignificant pawn to the Dawn Saint Ancestor, and since he was still useful, there was no reason for the Dawn Saint Ancestor to reveal his location.

What he didn't realize was that Ye Tian’s previous duplicate body had stayed in the Nine Dust Domain and left behind a tracking mark, allowing Ye Tian to lock onto the coordinates perfectly.

Buzz!!!!

With a wave of power, the surrounding Primordial Black Beasts were reduced to ash. In an instant, only the Nine Dust Origin Ancestor, the half-step Fivefold powerhouse, remained alive.

Every other beast had been obliterated.

"Senior, please spare my life!" the Nine Dust Ancestor cried out, begging for mercy.

He didn't dare fight back—he knew he couldn't. He didn't even dare to signal the Dawn Saint Ancestor, fearing he would be killed before help could arrive.
