Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1279: The Levels of Domain Ancestors!

TL: Etude

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!”

“Mountain Master!”

Ye Tian and Mountain Master Wind Mountain greeted each other respectfully.

After chatting briefly with Mountain Master Wind Mountain, Ye Tian said, “Mountain Master, recently my strength has improved greatly, but I don’t have a clear benchmark for my current level, so I’d like to spar with you!”

“Sparring… this is…”

Mountain Master Wind Mountain frowned slightly, appearing somewhat hesitant.

“Mountain Master, is there some inconvenience?” Ye Tian asked.

Initially, he had only slight suspicions, but now he was ninety percent certain that Mountain Master Wind Mountain’s current body was not his main body. Otherwise, Mountain Master Wind Mountain wouldn’t hesitate even at the prospect of a simple spar.

Mountain Master Wind Mountain struggled to find words.

In fact, he also knew Ye Tian was suspicious. It wasn’t just Ye Tian; many Half-Step Domain Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain were similarly skeptical because he had rarely acted, and the only time he fought with full strength was during the Devourer Race invasion.

The other Half-Step Domain Ancestors weren’t fools either, so naturally they had their doubts.

He understood that Ye Tian’s visit today wasn’t genuinely about sparring, but rather a subtle probe.

However, since this kind of probing carried no hostility and was merely driven by curiosity, he wasn’t angered by it.

“Fine, Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, I’ll be honest with you. Actually, right now, this isn’t my main body!”

Mountain Master Wind Mountain finally revealed.

“Not your main body?”

Ye Tian asked curiously, “Mountain Master, by saying this, do you mean your main body isn’t in the Dao Mountain Domain?”

“Exactly!” Mountain Master Wind Mountain explained, “This body is a special clone. But due to the immense distance from the Divine Heaven Domain, I cannot obtain energy replenishment from my main body, nor communicate with it. I rely solely on a special formation to maintain this body’s energy. But with each battle, this body’s energy consumption is extremely high, and it takes a very long time to recover.

Last time, when I fought the Devourer Race’s Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor, the energy drain was severe. Only now have I managed to recover, but at a significant cost. Hence, unless under special circumstances, I won’t be taking action again. Once this clone encounters trouble, I’ll lose my positioning! The Heavenly Emperor Palace has methods to position Domain Ancestor Vast Sea, and similarly, I have methods to locate my main body, but it still requires the Forbidden Realm as a medium!”

“Mountain Master, does that mean your main body is also a Domain Ancestor?” Ye Tian asked with surprise.

“Indeed!”

Mountain Master Wind Mountain nodded, “My main body is a Domain Ancestor located at the Blackwind Mountain Headquarters. Not only myself, but Mountain Master Black Mountain is also a Domain Ancestor. The Black Mountain branch is currently presided over by his clone.

We at Blackwind Mountain have three Domain Ancestors in total. Actually, my true title isn’t Mountain Master Wind Mountain, but rather Qi Feng! On the day of the Vast Sea Domain’s fragmentation battle, my main body was naturally aware of it but dared not participate, as the consequences would have been severe.

Moreover, we knew of Heavenly Emperor Palace’s plan, so we only sent this clone along with the shattered Domain Realm Fragments into the depths of the Dark Forbidden Domain. Even if something went wrong, it would only affect the clone, leaving my main body unaffected.”

“So that’s how it is!” Ye Tian suddenly understood clearly.

Ye Tian then asked, “Mountain Master, I’m quite curious about the levels among Domain Ancestors. What exactly is the Domain Ancestor realm like?”

“The Domain Ancestor, huh!” Mountain Master Wind Mountain replied, “Broadly speaking, the Domain Ancestor realm is comparable to the Dao Ancestor level, but the strength gap among Domain Ancestors can be enormous. Upon reaching this stage, martial warriors no longer focus solely on increasing cultivation but rather on refining their domain bodies and creating domain techniques. The strongest among them even condense Sacred Bodies.

The difference in strength between a Domain Ancestor who possesses a Sacred Body and one who doesn’t is immense. Based on strength, the Domain Ancestor realm is categorized into Ordinary Domain Ancestors, Elite Domain Ancestors, Top-tier Domain Ancestors, Pinnacle Domain Ancestors, Invincible Domain Ancestors, and Supreme Domain Ancestors. Beyond Supreme Domain Ancestors, there exists a legendary level of power—Primordial Ancestor!”

“Primordial Ancestor!”

Ye Tian repeated the name of this realm, though he had no clear concept of it in his heart. He was certain, however, that it must be an unimaginably terrifying existence.

Mountain Master Wind Mountain continued, “Actually, even we Domain Ancestors have very limited knowledge about Primordial Ancestors, mostly from ancient records within the Dark Forbidden Domain.

Indeed, the Divine Heaven Domain is very powerful and possesses many Domain Ancestors, but most of them are only ordinary Domain Ancestors. For example, I myself am merely an ordinary Domain Ancestor. Our founder at Blackwind Mountain was a Top-tier Domain Ancestor, but unfortunately, he has fallen! The true Mountain Master of Blackwind Mountain—Mountain Master Black Mountain—is at the Elite Domain Ancestor level.

Elite Domain Ancestors are already very powerful within the Divine Heaven Domain. However, the true rulers of the Divine Heaven Domain are ten Top-tier Domain Ancestors… as for Pinnacle Domain Ancestors, the Divine Heaven Domain currently has none.

Domain Ancestor Vast Sea was also just an ordinary Domain Ancestor. In terms of cultivation, he was at the late stage Domain Ancestor level, and his domain body had reached the major accomplishment realm.

But this is merely the perception of Half-Step Domain Ancestors. In reality, Domain Ancestors don’t evaluate strength solely based on cultivation. Domain Ancestor Vast Sea’s true strength was approaching that of an Elite Domain Ancestor. Within his own Vast Sea Domain, he could even display the battle strength of an Elite Domain Ancestor.

During the fragmentation battle of the Vast Sea Domain, it was precisely because an Elite Domain Ancestor, together with several ordinary Domain Ancestors, besieged Domain Ancestor Vast Sea that he didn’t dare step out, instead shifting the battlefield inside the Vast Sea Domain. Eventually, that caused the domain itself to collapse.

Rumor has it, Domain Ancestor Vast Sea possessed a Supreme Treasure that could not only create Forbidden Realms but also allowed Domain Ancestors the opportunity to reach the Pinnacle Domain Ancestor level. This was why so many Domain Ancestors targeted him!”

After pausing briefly, Mountain Master Wind Mountain added, “Actually, that Elite Domain Ancestor and the several ordinary Domain Ancestors were merely probing. The real ones targeting Domain Ancestor Vast Sea were those Top-tier Domain Ancestors. They just considered their status too high to make the first move. Unexpectedly, Domain Ancestor Vast Sea was incredibly decisive, directly merging that Supreme Treasure into the Domain Realm Fragments and sending them into the Dark Forbidden Domain, completely ruining the plans of those Top-tier Domain Ancestors!”

Upon hearing these secrets, Ye Tian suddenly understood everything clearly.

“Mountain Master, what exactly was that Supreme Treasure? Can’t it be found now?” Ye Tian asked.

“As for what it specifically is, I’m not entirely sure myself. Earlier, while drifting through the Dark Forbidden Domain, I tried searching for it but had no luck. Hence, I gave up. Perhaps only when the Profound Void Ultimate Ancient Realm fully merges into the Forbidden Realm will the true nature of that Supreme Treasure finally be revealed!” said Mountain Master Wind Mountain.

Ye Tian chatted with Mountain Master Wind Mountain for a little longer before eventually taking his leave.

After Ye Tian left, Mountain Master Wind Mountain muttered, “The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws truly has terrifying talent. I’m afraid he’s already stronger than even this clone of mine. Unfortunately, Blackwind Mountain doesn’t possess powerful inheritances. Without other extraordinary opportunities, Elite Domain Ancestor would likely be his limit!”

He didn’t realize that Ye Tian had already acquired a Sacred Body inheritance. His knowledge was simply too limited, so he didn’t recognize the Primordial Sacred Body.

Had he known, he would never have made such a statement.
