Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1183: Half the Authority!

Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle was apprehended by Dao Ancestor Profound Crane, offering no resistance, for any attempt would have been futile.

Dao Ancestor Profound Crane stood as a top-tier Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, vastly outmatching Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle in power.

Although the gap between a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor and an Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor seemed minimal, the difference in their strength was immense.

An Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor was recognized as a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, a title not held by a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, and this distinction was significant.

Under ordinary circumstances, a Dao Ancestor of a lower Heaven might escape, even if they could not win. However, confronting an Eighth Heaven Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor typically had no chance of fleeing. The only potential exception could be the most exceptional Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors facing an Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestor who had merely recently achieved their breakthrough. In such a rare scenario, they might engage in a brief struggle for a few exchanges, but inevitably, they would succumb as time wore on.

Therefore, Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle understood the futility of resistance.

…

Many individuals from other factions believed Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle had brought this misfortune upon himself. After all, he had secretly refined the Forbidden Void Realm yet maintained a pretense of ignorance. While some harbored suspicions, none dared to voice or confirm them.

Ye Tian, however, held a different perspective. He speculated that Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle might not have refined the Forbidden Void Realm at all. Considering Stone Eagle's status as a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, and on the cusp of advancing to the Eighth Heaven, he would likely not be so reckless as to betray the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Furthermore, while the Forbidden Void Realm was crucial for a faction, its importance to an individual was comparatively less. Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle lacked a motive to claim sole ownership of the Forbidden Void Realm.

Consequently, Ye Tian became convinced that another party had seized control of the Forbidden Void Realm.

This particular Forbidden Void Realm only permitted passage to Dao Ancestors below the Eighth Heaven. Typically, a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor would not possess the capability to refine the Forbidden Void Realm discreetly without detection.

Yet, Ye Tian believed there was one individual capable of achieving such a feat—Ouyang Jiu’er.

From the moment the Forbidden Void Realm had initially opened, he had not observed any sign of Ouyang Jiu’er.

Given her known character, she would certainly not forsake such a valuable opportunity. She had never shown disdain for acquiring rare treasures, so it was almost certain she would have come to gather them.

…

By this point, the Forbidden Void Realm had been fully refined and sealed off completely.

Not only were Pinnacle Dao Ancestors barred from entry from the outset, but now, even if they possessed the means, entry remained an impossibility.

As a result, the Dao Ancestors representing various factions began to depart sequentially.

Ye Tian likewise returned to the Human Race’s designated territory. He made no attempt to locate Ouyang Jiu’er. Even if she had indeed refined the Forbidden Void Realm, it held no direct consequence for him. Therefore, it was best to refrain from inquiry.

However, a span of several months passed before Ouyang Jiu’er sought out Ye Tian of her own accord.

“Brother Ye, I wish to take you to a particular location!” Ouyang Jiu’er declared with an air of mystery.

Ye Tian harbored his suspicions but chose to accompany her nonetheless.

Before long, the pair traversed the void and arrived at a desolate, empty world.

The instant Ye Tian stepped inside, he discerned their precise location.

“This place is the Forbidden Void Realm. So, it was truly you who refined it, Jiu’er!” Ye Tian spoke in hushed tones.

“Indeed, I am the one who refined the Forbidden Void Realm!” Ouyang Jiu’er confirmed with a nod.

Through her subsequent explanation, Ye Tian finally grasped the method by which Ouyang Jiu’er had accomplished the refinement of the Forbidden Void Realm.

It transpired that Ouyang Jiu’er possessed a formidable treasure—the Realm-Suppressing Stele, an artifact originating from the Dark Forbidden Domain. This potent item held the ability to suppress the very essence of any world, including the foundational origin of the Forbidden Void Realm.

Consequently, Ouyang Jiu’er introduced the Realm-Suppressing Stele into the Forbidden Void Realm. She proceeded to directly suppress its origin and covertly infiltrated the core where this origin resided. There, she forcefully subjugated and refined the origin of the Forbidden Void Realm, thereby achieving complete dominion over it.

With its origin effectively suppressed, the Forbidden Void Realm was incapable of manifesting any unusual phenomena, rendering Ouyang Jiu’er’s presence undetectable.

Regarding Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s endeavor to refine the Forbidden Void Realm, Ouyang Jiu’er had been privy to his actions from the very beginning. She had deliberately permitted him to proceed, strategically employing him as a diversion.

In reality, Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle stood no chance of successfully completing his refinement process.

To ensure Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle bore the culpability, Ouyang Jiu’er meticulously orchestrated the situation to appear as though he was on the verge of success. Subsequently, without making a sound, she subtly relocated the other Dao Ancestors one by one, leaving Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle as the final individual to be moved.

Through this strategy, everyone was led to believe that Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle had indeed managed to refine the Forbidden Void Realm. Her involvement remained a complete mystery, with no one ever suspecting her connection to the event.

“Brother Ye, I will grant you half the authority over the Forbidden Void Realm!” Ouyang Jiu’er declared.

“What? But this is the Forbidden Void Realm!” Ye Tian reacted with utter astonishment.

“To me, the Forbidden Void Realm isn’t particularly special. I have no intention of establishing a major force, so what use would such a realm be to me? Moreover, it won’t be long before I ascend to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor Realm. My main body won’t even be able to access the Forbidden Void Realm anymore! Sending a clone inside using the Realm Master’s authority would be meaningless,” Ouyang Jiu’er elaborated.

After enduring Ouyang Jiu’er’s persistent entreaties, Ye Tian finally consented to accept half of the authority concerning the Forbidden Void Realm.

For Ye Tian, the Forbidden Void Realm held profound importance.

He saw the potential to discreetly transfer select human prodigies into the Forbidden Void Realm, nurture the Nine Limits Legion in secret, and maintain their strength hidden from Blackwind Mountain’s awareness. This would effectively serve as his personal army.

Most crucially, the Forbidden Void Realm presented an ideal environment for cultivation. For humans training within its confines, their cultivation speed would experience a significant acceleration.

Subsequently, Ye Tian initiated the preparations for relocating some elite human cultivators and members of the Nine Limits Legion into the Forbidden Void Realm.

The average human prodigies remained unaware of the Forbidden Void Realm’s existence. Their cultivation levels were too rudimentary to comprehend such profound secrets; it was a matter exclusively concerning Dao Ancestors.

However, the Nine Limits Legion had caught wind of some whispers regarding the Forbidden Void Realm. They were greatly amazed by this news. After all, the outside world firmly believed the Forbidden Void Realm had been successfully refined by the Heavenly Emperor Palace. They could never have imagined it would ultimately end up in Ye Tian’s possession.

Immediately, their respect and admiration for Ye Tian surged, and they felt incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to train within the Forbidden Void Realm.

Meanwhile.

Over at the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Following extensive discussions among several Imperial Monarchs, the request from Dao Ancestor Profound Crane to extract the soul origin memory of Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle was finally approved. This represented the ultimate verdict, leaving no room for pleas of leniency.

Upon the judgment platform.

An Imperial Monarch personally undertook the task of extracting Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s soul origin memory. Before the extraction process could begin, Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle cried out in a desperate voice, “Imperial Monarch Dark River, it truly wasn’t me! I implore you, do not extract my soul origin memory! I am willing to swear a lifebound oath!!!!”

His pleas were in vain. While lifebound oaths could be binding for cultivators of lower Dao Ancestor tiers, they held negligible weight when confronting Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Although Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle was not a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, he still possessed methods to circumvent such an oath.

Consequently, extracting the soul origin memory was deemed the most infallible and reliable method available.

Imperial Monarch Dark River placed his hand upon Dao Ancestor Stone Eagle’s forehead and forcibly commenced the extraction of his soul origin memory.
