I Can Copy Talents Chapter 2147: 2147

Previously on I Can Copy Talents...

In Black Valley, Ye Tian launched a surprise attack on five fifth-fold ancestor-level primordial black beasts, swiftly defeating them and stealing their treasure. He later chose to auction off the Black Valley to avoid retaliation from the Yuan Shen Palace, which drew fierce competition among other Fivefold Holy Gates, eventually resulting in its purchase by the Nine Light Holy Gate. As Ye Tian continued his resource-gathering expeditions, he kept switching identities to obscure his track. Meanwhile, the Taihan Saint Ancestor of the Yuan Shen Palace grew increasingly frustrated over the losses, prompting him to consolidate resources to minimize potential damage from future incursions.

...

Within the Primordial Black Sea.

A violent conflict has erupted. A group of half-step six-fold ancestors are relentlessly pursuing a single peer, their combined might shattering the local fabric of the Primordial Black Sea.

The target of this hunt possessed remarkable power, initially surpassing each of his pursuers individually. However, once another half-step six-fold ancestor entered the fray, his defenses crumbled and he was quickly wounded.

Forced to flee, he smashed through a spatial barrier and crossed into the territory of a neighboring higher primordial realm.

Though the pursuing half-step six-fold ancestors followed immediately, they were a moment too slow and lost his trail.

"Remain calm. He has been marked by the Blood Shadow Seal. While he may have temporarily suppressed it, his strength is insufficient to erase it quickly. Any attempt he makes to remove the mark will be sensed by us instantly."

"This individual is at the late stage of the fusion process for a half-step six-fold ancestor, meaning this must be his true body. If we blockade this high-level origin area and conduct a meticulous search, we will surely find him."

"This region belongs to the Shangling Origin Domain. They lack a single six-fold primordial ancestor. We need not concern ourselves with their objections; should they dare to protest, Lord Changbai will suppress them personally."

The Lord Changbai they mentioned was a genuine six-fold primordial ancestor and the supreme authority of the Changbai High Origin Domain.

...

Near a secluded river basin.

Drenched in blood, the True Mountain Saint Ancestor stared at a crimson sigil on his hand, his expression darkening with frustration.

"The Blood Shadow Seal... I can only manage to mask it for now. I cannot purge it, or those fanatics will track the fluctuation. Damn it! Was it really necessary to hunt me like this just for seizing a portion of the Taixuan Light?"

He was fortunate to have reached the Upper Primordial Realm’s river basin. By exploiting the space-time distortions created when he shattered the barriers between domains, he had used various Primordial Domains as stepping stones to evade his enemies.

Now, hiding within the watershed, he completely suppressed his aura, finding a momentary reprieve.

His plan was to stabilize his wounds and Cultivation here. If he could successfully break through to becomes a Six-fold Ancestor in one go, he would no longer have any reason to fear them.

However, achieving the rank of a Six-fold Ancestor was an incredibly daunting task.

In the Shangling Origin Domain, at the Void Tooth Holy Gate.

While Ye Tian was immersed in his Cultivation, the Void Tooth Holy Ancestor suddenly called for an emergency assembly.

Ye Tian attended the meeting, noting that the participants were almost exclusively Vein Masters at the late stage of the Fifth Origin Ancestor or high-ranking elders. Despite Ye Tian only being in the middle stage of the Fifth Origin Ancestor, his recognized battle strength earned him a seat at this high-level gathering.

During the meeting.

The Void Tooth Saint Ancestor announced, "Recently, several half-step six-fold ancestors invaded the Primordial Black Sea region tied to our Shangling High Origin Domain. They are still lingering. They hail from the Changbai High Origin Domain, and our intelligence suggests a major upheaval has occurred there."

"What kind of event would cause a group of half-step six-fold ancestors to trespass into our territory?"

Many of the present ancestors were filled with curiosity.

The Void Tooth Saint Ancestor explained, "A half-step six-fold ancestor known as the True Mountain Saint Ancestor took advantage of the Changbai Dao Ancestor’s absence. He stole a portion of the Changbai High Origin Domain's Taixuan Light and destroyed the will clones of two half-step six-fold origin ancestors guarding it. In response, the elite half-step six-fold primordial ancestors of Changbai have chased him all the way into our Shangling High Origin Domain."

"The Changbai High Origin Domain is our neighbor, but their ranking is far superior to ours. They possess a Six-fold Origin Ancestor and dozens of half-step six-fold ancestors. I am surprised True Mountain Saint Ancestor dared to provoke them. Does he not fear the return of the Changbai Dao Ancestor?"

"What exactly is this Taixuan Light?" Ye Tian inquired.

The Void Tooth Holy Ancestor clarified, "The Taixuan Light is a supreme treasure essential for a half-step six-fold ancestor to break through to the Six-fold Ancestor rank. It takes an eternity for even a place like the Changbai High Origin Domain to produce it. It is said this specific light appeared long ago, but the Changbai Dao Ancestor refused to let any half-step six-fold origin ancestors waste it until they reached a sufficient level of preparation."

"So, it is a catalyst for reaching the Six-fold Ancestor realm," Ye Tian realized, finally understanding the intensity of Changbai's rage.

Losing two will clones was trivial compared to the theft of the Taixuan Light.

"If the pursuers haven't found him yet, why haven't they retreated?" Ye Tian asked. "Couldn't the True Mountain Saint Ancestor simply dissipate his will clone and hide the Taixuan Light? He could just send someone to retrieve it after the heat dies down."

"That is impossible for him," the Void Tooth Saint Ancestor replied. "Unlike you, Endless Origin Ancestor, the True Mountain Origin Ancestor no longer has a will clone. He reached the late fusion stage of the half-step six-fold ancestor level. At that height, one no longer possesses a separate will clone. In fact, no Six-fold Ancestor has a clone either. This is precisely why the Changbai Dao Ancestor could leave his domain personally."

"What does it mean to have no clone at the late fusion stage?" Ye Tian was confused.

The Void Tooth Saint Ancestor explained, "Endless Origin Ancestor, you haven't yet received the specific inheritance regarding the transition from half-step to full Six-fold Origin Ancestor. To progress, a half-step six-fold ancestor must repeatedly fuse their true body with their will clone. This process of condensing and merging happens nine times. By the ninth fusion, even if a will clone is formed, it is unstable and must be re-absorbed quickly or it will vanish. Thus, a top-tier expert like True Mountain Saint Ancestor must fight with his primary body; he cannot send a clone far from himself."

"I understand now," Ye Tian muttered.

This meant the True Mountain Origin Ancestor was physically present in the Shangling High Origin Domain, hiding with the Taixuan Light. He was trapped, unable to show himself or flee the region.

The value of the Taixuan Light was undeniable—it was the beacon of hope for becoming a Six-fold Ancestor.

It was a prize that everyone, including the Void Tooth Saint Ancestor, undoubtedly craved.
