I Can Copy Talents Chapter 2145: 2145

After successfully taking control of the Nine Dust Domain, Ye Tian systematically wiped away the soul imprint left behind by the Dawn Holy Ancestor. With that task complete, the Nine Dust Domain was now entirely under Ye Tian’s authority.

To a Fivefold Ancestor, the primary worth of a river basin did not lie in the cultivation of the Glazed Holy Cover. Instead, its true value was serving as a secluded private headquarters and a hidden base for nurturing loyal forces. Ye Tian had no intention of using this river basin to practice the Glazed Holy Cover; he had already mastered that technique, and it offered him no further benefits.

Naturally, there are holy techniques that Remain highly valuable even to a Fivefold Primordial Ancestor—specifically the strongest holy arts—though their cultivation requirements are incredibly steep. For instance, the Streamer Holy Cover, which is the advanced form of the Glazed Holy Cover, necessitates the resources of thirty-six river basins to master. Such a feat is dauntingly difficult. Since acquiring even a single river basin requires immense luck, locating thirty-six of them is nearly impossible.

Consequently, most Fivefold Primordial Ancestors give up on the idea of practicing the Streamer Holy Shield because the difficulty is simply too high. Furthermore, the power of the Streamer Holy Cover is only moderately impressive; it still could not compare to Ye Tian’s own supreme natal primordial control technique.

...

"By utilizing the token from the Original Divine Palace and copying the physical form of the Nine Dust Primordial Ancestor, I can spend some time cultivating to ensure this replica's strength is convincing. Once I pass the assessment of the Original Divine Palace, I should be able to infiltrate them successfully," Ye Tian contemplated.

Once he gained entry to the Genshin Shrine, he would be able to pinpoint their main headquarters and locate the vast treasury of resources they controlled. Of course, with his current level of power, he lacked the means to dismantle the Genshin Palace entirely on his own. However, plundering their various treasures and resources was well within his capabilities.

Buzz!

Ye Tian swiftly replicated the body of the Nine Dust Primordial Ancestor. The copy was flawless, showing no discernible difference from the fallen ancestor. Following this, Ye Tian began an intensive cultivation session to bolster the replica's power. He employed various extreme paths alongside specialized quenching techniques to refine the body repeatedly.

As the eras passed, the strength of Ye Tian’s primordial black beast replica grew increasingly formidable. After tens of thousands of Origin Realm Eras had elapsed, Ye Tian felt he was finally prepared to undergo the Original Divine Palace’s entrance trials. He activated the token using the copied body of the primordial black beast.

Immediately, he felt a guiding force. Following this spiritual navigation, he traveled toward his designated destination. Before long, Ye Tian arrived at a small watershed. This location served merely as a transit station. Upon entering, a half-step fivefold ancestor-level primordial black beast inspected him. Finding no issues, the beast provided a new set of coordinates, directing Ye Tian toward a medium-sized river basin.

The actual assessment would take place within that medium-sized watershed. Successfully passing the trial would grant him the right to join the Genshin Shrine.

...

"Nine Dust Primordial Ancestor, this is the Primordial God Tower. Given your cultivation as a half-step fivefold Primordial Ancestor, you must clear the sixth level. After a standard background investigation by the Primordial Shrine, you will be permitted to join our ranks!" a half-step fivefold ancestor-level primordial black beast explained.

Shortly after, Ye Tian entered the Genshin Tower to begin the trial. The assessment was quite simple for him, yet he made sure to restrain his power. He displayed a level of strength that was competent but not suspicious; if the Nine Dust Primordial Ancestor suddenly exhibited world-shaking power, it would surely raise alarms. Ultimately, Ye Tian made it appear as though he narrowly passed the sixth level before exiting the tower.

"Nine Dust Ancestor, you only reached the fourth level during your last attempt. I didn't expect you to clear the sixth this time. It seems you’ve encountered some good fortune!" the primordial black beast remarked.

"Indeed," Ye Tian replied calmly before departing.

After a short wait, the token vibrated with a message: his certification was complete, and the Genshin Shrine had officially invited him to join. "It was quite simple. Even if the Genshin Shrine conducts a deep investigation, they won't find anything wrong with this body," Ye Tian said with a smile.

Using the token as a guide, he set off for the Genshin Palace. The journey involved several complex detours before he finally reached his destination. The Genshin Shrine was situated within a massive watershed—a true mega-watershed. The entire region was hermetically sealed, accessible only through a single portal connected to another large river basin. This meant one had to navigate through a separate large basin just to reach the entrance. This defensive layout ensured that even if the shrine was discovered, the connection could be severed to maintain security. Such a setup made an invasion nearly impossible unless a Sixfold Primordial Ancestor intervened to erase the shrine entirely.

"No wonder the Upper Spirit Origin Domain has been unable to deal with the Original God Palace for so long," Ye Tian realized.

He did not stay long at the main shrine before being assigned to guard a resource-rich treasure land. The Genshin Shrine provided him with a complete inheritance and various cultivation resources as part of his enlistment. Had he been the real Nine Dust Ancestor, he would have been overjoyed by such rewards, but to the current Ye Tian, they were of little consequence.

During his stay, Ye Tian continued to study the inner workings of the Genshin Palace, gathering vital intelligence. Bit by bit, he mapped out their strength. The Genshin Palace possessed one half-step sixfold ancestor, eighteen peak-level primordial ancestors, and five hundred fivefold primordial ancestors. In terms of raw numbers, the Void Fang Holy Gate was inferior to the Genshin Palace. This disparity existed because the primordial black beasts were born with high natural potential, and the shrine possessed a complete inheritance that allowed them to produce so many Fivefold Primordial Ancestors. However, reaching the rank of a Sixfold Ancestor—or even a half-step Sixfold Ancestor—remained an immense hurdle for them.

...

"Black Valley!"

This was a vital resource hub for the Yuan Shen Palace and served as a secondary base. It was guarded by five Fivefold Primordial Ancestors, hundreds of half-step fivefold ancestors, and a massive defensive array. Such a heavy presence was necessary because the valley produced rare resources essential for the cultivation of Fivefold Primordial Ancestors. Additionally, it functioned as a major storage site. The Genshin Shrine avoided keeping all its eggs in one basket; if the main shrine were ever breached, their resources would remain safe elsewhere. Consequently, their power was distributed across several locations.

The Black Valley was one such location. The sheer volume of wealth stored here was unknown to the average half-step fivefold ancestor. Now that Ye Tian had been stationed at this treasure land, he prepared himself to seize everything within the Black Valley. However, he remained patient. If he acted too soon after his arrival, it would look suspicious. He decided to wait for the right moment.

Finally, after tens of thousands of years had passed in this era, the day arrived. Ye Tian stood within the Black Valley, ready to make his move.
