Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1191: A Base Within the Dark Forbidden Domain!

The Forbidden Insect Nest served as the very bedrock of their existence. No matter the number of Forbidden Insect Race members exterminated, their overall strength would barely be affected, at most only impeding their progression.
However, should their nest be obliterated, the Forbidden Insect Race would lose the ability to generate new members, making their eventual extinction a certainty.
This was due to the Forbidden Insect Race exclusively relying on their nest for reproduction; they were incapable of procreating through any other means.
“Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, is it indeed impossible to destroy the Forbidden Insect Nest?” the Wind King inquired.
“It is impossible!” Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity sighed. “Among the forces of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Palace Master Azure Dragon wields the most formidable offensive power. He managed to breach their defenses and directly assault the Forbidden Insect Nest. The outcome? It failed to even leave a mark, not a single scratch. I suspect only a Domain Ancestor could possibly annihilate the nest. Moreover, infiltrating the Forbidden Insect Nest is fraught with equal peril. Even a Half-Step Domain Ancestor would surely perish within its confines!”
“Then we are left with no alternative but to engage in a war of attrition,” the Fire King stated with a frown.
Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity added, “The sole viable strategy at this juncture is to annihilate the Forbidden Insect Race outside their nest and subsequently seal the nest itself. If we achieve this, the nest will become stagnant without any development. Deprived of resource replenishment, it will be unable to produce potent Forbidden Insect Race members and incapable of breaching the seal. In this manner, we can deem the predicament resolved.”
“It appears that is the only course of action!” the Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire concurred.
Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins then spoke. “All Dao Ancestors under Blackwind Mountain’s command are permitted to join this battle. However, I strongly caution Dao Ancestors below the Third Heaven against participating. It is not merely a matter of their lives. Should they fall, their very corpses would serve to invigorate the Forbidden Insect Race’s resurgence. While the Forbidden Insect Race can gradually augment their strength through the Dark Forbidden Power, their development is exceedingly slow through that method. But if they absorb vitality from fallen combatants, their growth rate can become astonishing! For this reason, I strongly discourage less powerful Dao Ancestors from engaging on this battlefield!”All the present Heavenly Kings nodded in agreement.
The meeting was swiftly concluded.
Nevertheless, Ye Tian was requested to remain behind as Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity wished to discuss a certain matter with him.
“Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity!” Ye Tian stood before him with profound respect.
“Heavenly King Nine Limits, I require your assistance with a certain affair!” Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity said courteously.
“Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, please issue your command!” Ye Tian responded without hesitation.
Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity stated, “Heavenly King Nine Limits, I am aware that you possess a unique form of clone, one that is virtually indistinguishable from your primary self. This clone is capable of wielding dao techniques and exhibiting talents—entirely dissimilar to the common incarnation techniques we are familiar with.
Previously, we Half-Step Domain Ancestors attempted to dispatch incarnations into the Forbidden Insect Nest. However, every single one disintegrated, collapsing the moment they made entry.
Therefore, Blackwind Mountain proposes that you utilize your clone to infiltrate the Forbidden Insect Nest and scout its interior. Should you manage to convey even a fraction of the information to your main body, it would at least grant us some measure of preparation.”
“Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, is my ability to manifest such a clone known to other factions?” Ye Tian inquired cautiously.
“I have no knowledge of that!” Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity replied, “Even I cannot perceive any distinction between your clone and your true form, so it naturally follows that other factions would remain in ignorance as well.
Furthermore, this endeavor is a clandestine mission undertaken by our Blackwind Mountain. No other factions are privy to this plan.
When the hostilities commence, Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and I will personally escort your clone into the Forbidden Insect Nest.”
“I agree,” Ye Tian nodded in acceptance.
Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity then elucidated a few more points before granting Ye Tian leave.
Upon his return to the Human Race, Ye Tian commenced his preparations.
His foremost priority was ensuring that the affairs of the Human Race were meticulously arranged. After all, once he ventured into the Dark Forbidden Domain for the conflict against the Forbidden Insect Race, there was no telling when his return would be. If his absence were to be prolonged, what might transpire if a significant crisis were to erupt within the Human Race?
Consequently, Ye Tian brought a contingent of Dao Ancestors out of the Forbidden Void Realm. These Dao Ancestors had all pledged solemn lifebound oaths, guaranteeing their silence regarding the secrets of the Forbidden Void Realm. This proactively eliminated any concerns about its potential exposure.
Moreover, the substantial presence of Dao Ancestors, combined with the undivided attention of all other factions directed towards the Forbidden Insect Race, guaranteed that the diminutive Human Race would remain entirely overlooked. Ye Tian strategically positioned these Dao Ancestors throughout the territories belonging to the Human Race. In the event of any significant disturbances, they were fully prepared to intervene and manage the situation. Concurrently, the major powers commenced the construction of numerous bases established along the fringes of the Dark Forbidden Domain. Given that Dao Ancestors would be engaged in direct combat with the forbidden insects, fortified stations were indispensable for maintaining communication lines and providing areas for recuperation. Given the Dark Forbidden Domain's scarcity of suitable resting locales, these bases were designed to function as temporary operational centers for the Dao Ancestors. Within a span of just ten years, a multitude of bases sprang up along the perimeter of the Dark Forbidden Domain. Furthermore, vast arrays of intricate formations were erected in the desolate void beyond the Dao Mountain Domain, serving as a crucial barrier to prevent any infiltration by forbidden insects that might breach the established encirclement and venture into the Dao Mountain Domain. Simultaneously, Within the Profound Void Archaic Realm, extensive teleportation arrays were meticulously constructed, linking various territories and providing direct conduits to the Ancient Giant City, situated in proximity to the Dark Forbidden Domain. This Ancient Giant City was designated as a pivotal transit point. Dao Ancestors hailing from the Profound Void Archaic Realm could utilize these arrays to teleport directly to this hub and, from there, rapidly navigate their way to the Dark Forbidden Domain and the array of bases, thereby minimizing any potential time loss. As time progressed, Dao Ancestors began arriving at the established bases in steady succession. The majority integrated into the bases affiliated with their specific factions, although dedicated bases were also established for joint operations involving mixed forces and separate provisions for independent cultivators. The Dao Ancestors originating from Blackwind Mountain took up their posts within the Blackwind Mountain Base. However, Dao Ancestors affiliated with the Human Race and the Void Sky Legion were also extended the option to join the Blackwind Mountain Base should they elect to participate in the ongoing conflict. On a particular day, Ye Tian, accompanied by his beloved wife Xiao Yue, his sister Ye Yu, his son Ye Xingchen, and his daughter Ye Xingyue, utilized the most conveniently located large-scale teleportation array near the Human Race’s domain. They arrived at the Ancient Giant City and, subsequently, embarked on their journey towards the Dark Forbidden Domain. Upon their entry into the treacherous confines of the Dark Forbidden Domain, Ye Tian issued a stern admonishment to his family: “Should you perceive any illusory sounds or disembodied whispers, it is imperative that you disregard them entirely. Under no circumstances should you engage with them, lest you invite unimaginable terror. Is this understood?” “We understand completely!” they collectively affirmed with immediate resolve. Nevertheless, this being their inaugural expedition into the Dark Forbidden Domain, an undeniable sense of wonder and curiosity pervaded their hearts. Before long, their arrival at the Blackwind Mountain Base was announced. The Blackwind Mountain Base presented itself as a colossal mountainous structure. Numerous settlements were intricately constructed across its soaring peaks, with an innumerable host of Dao Ancestors making their abode within the base's expansive confines. Ye Tian observed that the concentration of Dao Ancestors present far surpassed the numbers he had witnessed previously when encountering the Heavenly Kings, an indication that a significant portion likely comprised the retainers of various Heavenly Kings or the illustrious Ten Kings. As a Great Heavenly King, Ye Tian was bestowed the privilege of a dedicated residence within the Blackwind Mountain Base, a dwelling where his entire family subsequently found their settlement.
