Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1206: The Utmost Calamity Blood Essence!

Ouyang Jiu’er’s immediate refusal caught Ye Tian by surprise for a brief moment.

He quickly regained his composure. Even a Half-Step Domain Ancestor would hesitate to enter the Forbidden Insect Nest. At her current cultivation level—a mere Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, far from being a Half-Step Domain Ancestor—stepping into the Forbidden Insect Nest would be equivalent to seeking death. Regardless of the treasures within, her refusal was entirely natural.

“Jiu’er, allow me to explain first!” Ye Tian stated with a hint of helplessness. “I have personally navigated the Forbidden Insect Nest and emerged alive. You can put your mind at ease; my chances of survival are exceptionally high!”

“You were inside?” Ouyang Jiu’er’s expression was laced with skepticism.

Ye Tian proceeded to recount his clone’s foray into the Forbidden Insect Nest, detailing the discovery of a Dark Dull Gold Vein.

Upon learning that Ye Tian possessed the Forbidden Talent Concealment, Ouyang Jiu’er’s eyes widened in stunned disbelief.

“Big Brother Ye, don’t you think you have an excessive number of forbidden talents? And it certainly didn't appear as though you possessed this particular one previously!” Ouyang Jiu’er inquired, her tone tinged with suspicion.

She recalled a past instance where she assisted Ye Tian with the Heavenly Illusory Divine Steps, as his own concealment abilities were significantly inferior and could not rival hers. If Ye Tian had already possessed the Forbidden Talent Concealment back then, it would imply he had deliberately concealed it from her.

This realization prompted Ouyang Jiu’er to fix Ye Tian with a scrutinizing glare, awaiting his explanation.

“My physical body possesses a rather unique quality. Each time I achieve a breakthrough to a new realm, a novel talent spontaneously awakens. This is the reason behind my multitude of talents!” Ye Tian responded swiftly, hoping this explanation would appease her.

“Could it be that you are a Forbidden Child?” Ouyang Jiu’er exclaimed, her voice filled with shock.

“A Forbidden Child? What exactly is that?” Ye Tian asked, genuinely curious.

Ouyang Jiu’er then proceeded to elaborate, “We refer to individuals possessing immense destiny, as if they were direct children of the Dark Forbidden Domain’s fate, as Forbidden Children. These individuals frequently undergo soul mutations with each advancement in their cultivation, granting them the opportunity to awaken new talents. Typically, an individual’s talents are fixed from birth, and even with the aid of extraordinary treasures, any talents acquired later are generally unremarkable. Attaining a Dao-level core talent through such methods is considered the absolute pinnacle. However, a Forbidden Child has the inherent potential to awaken Dao-level core talents—or even Forbidden Talents—naturally, without any reliance on external treasures! But even within the entirety of the Divine Heaven Domain, the concept of a Forbidden Child remains largely within the realm of legend. You don’t quite align with the described characteristics, though. According to the lore, a Forbidden Child is born with a Forbidden Body, an event that would manifest terrifying phenomena at birth, drawing the attention of the heavens and the Forbidden Rules themselves. Yet, your origin was simply an ordinary universe!”

Ye Tian had not anticipated that his casual fabrication would inadvertently link him to the legend of the Forbidden Child. He quickly interjected, “Jiu’er, the Dark Forbidden Domain is an entity of immense scale, encompassing countless domains. It is not inconceivable for unique physiques that defy conventional understanding to exist. Let us refocus on the matter of the Dark Dull Gold. What course of action should we pursue now?”

Ouyang Jiu’er did not prolong her contemplation of Ye Tian’s unusual physique. After a moment of thoughtful consideration, she declared, “Big Brother Ye, the Dark Dull Gold Vein is indeed comprised of the residual materials left behind by the Forbidden Insect Race after they refine their forbidden wondrous objects. While considered mere refuse by the Forbidden Insect Race, it represents a supreme treasure for us. To extract the Dark Dull Gold Vein, you will inevitably trigger the automatic discharge mechanism of the Forbidden Insect Nest. The very act of touching the Dark Dull Gold Vein will activate this mechanism, precipitating disturbances throughout the nest. The sole method to procure the Dark Dull Gold Vein without drawing attention is to sever the connection between the discharge mechanism and the vein itself!”

“How can we sever this connection?” Ye Tian inquired, as this posed his most pressing concern.

“We must compel the Forbidden Insect Nest to sever it autonomously!” Ouyang Jiu’er explained. “Visualize the Dark Dull Gold Vein as an element integrated within a living organism. Currently, it is connected to the organism. It neither provides benefit nor causes harm, thus the organism remains indifferent to its presence. However, if this element were to become detrimental, the organism would naturally seek to detach itself from it!”

“And how do we achieve that?” Ye Tian grasped the theoretical concept but lacked the practical methodology.

“What is it that the Forbidden Insect Race fears above all else?” Ouyang Jiu’er posed the question.

“I have no idea!” Ye Tian confessed, shaking his head. In truth, he possessed no knowledge of what the Forbidden Insect Race might fear. His prevailing impression was that the Forbidden Insect Race appeared to be fearless, capable of consuming all in their path.

“Birds are what insects fear. While the Forbidden Insect Race shows no fear of common birds, they are indeed terrified of forbidden avian creatures! I happen to possess a single drop of blood from an ordinary lineage of a forbidden creature, the Utmost Calamity Crow. This drop of blood, though diminished in power, remains incredibly valuable. Naturally, when contrasted with the Dark Dull Gold, this drop of blood appears rather mundane. Furthermore, should we successfully retrieve the Dark Dull Gold, it might be possible for me to extract another trace of the Utmost Calamity Crow’s essence from the vein itself,” Ouyang Jiu’er elucidated.

“So, are you implying that entering the Forbidden Insect Nest is unnecessary?” Ye Tian inquired.

“Absolutely, I have no need to enter!” Ouyang Jiu’er retorted with an eye roll. “Your clone could perish at any moment, but I have no intention of letting that happen! Even with your formidable Forbidden Talents, if a lord-level forbidden insect detects your presence, your demise is all but certain!”

Subsequently, Ouyang Jiu’er, with visible reluctance, passed the sealed orb containing the Utmost Calamity Crow’s blood to Ye Tian.

“Big Brother Ye, proceed with extreme caution. It’s acceptable if your clone is lost, but you absolutely must not misplace this drop of Utmost Calamity Crow’s blood!” Ouyang Jiu’er cautioned him earnestly.

“Rest assured!” Ye Tian gave his word.

With the precious drop of Utmost Calamity Crow’s blood secured, Ye Tian departed from the Nine Rivers Base.

He then dispatched his Copy Body, now equipped with the Utmost Calamity Crow’s blood and utilizing the Forbidden Talent Concealment, towards the Forbidden Insect Nest.

Before long, Ye Tian found himself once again in proximity to the Forbidden Insect Nest, navigating a passage with heightened vigilance. This time, no adverse events transpired; he merely had brief encounters with a few groups of forbidden insects but avoided any confrontation with lord-level forbidden insects, thus remaining completely undetected.

At long last, Ye Tian reached the location of the Dark Dull Gold Vein once more.

“Let’s ascertain if this drop of Utmost Calamity Crow’s blood proves effective!” Ye Tian mused to himself.

He deliberately shattered the sealed orb, allowing a solitary drop of the Utmost Calamity Crow’s blood to fall directly into the Dark Dull Gold Vein.

Despite being merely a singular drop, as it integrated into the vein, the once-black Dark Dull Gold Vein was rapidly suffused with a crimson hue. Wisps of bloody rules began to permeate outwards, influencing the vortex suspended above the vein.

Suddenly.

The vortex convulsed, exhibiting an intense aversion to this encroaching aura. It did not display fear, as a single drop of blood was insufficient to pose a genuine threat to the formidable Forbidden Insect Nest.

Crack! A subtle tearing sound resonated through the void. The vortex actively severed its connection with the Dark Dull Gold Vein, seemingly repulsed by its presence.

“Retrieve!”

Seizing this fleeting chance, Ye Tian swiftly gathered the Dark Dull Gold Vein into his Inner World.
