Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

“I already possessed my true talent, now I just needed a supreme treasure. Ordinary supreme treasures were useless and had limited potential. At best, they could elevate the second body’s cultivation to the Dominator level. At the very least, it must be a top-tier supreme treasure,” Ye Tian mused silently.

He currently possessed several supreme treasures, with the most mysterious and precious being the Chaos Black Lotus.

However, using the Chaos Black Lotus as the second body’s vessel seemed wasteful, and he might not even be able to refine it. Moreover, the second body would become useless after he transcended, effectively turning it into a discarded object.

Therefore, he saw no need to waste the mysterious Chaos Black Lotus.

“Aside from the Chaos Black Lotus, the only other top-tier supreme treasure I have is a long saber, reformed from the accompanying treasure of the Silver-Horned Ancestral God. This weapon is still useful to me, so using it as the second body’s embryo would also be wasteful,” Ye Tian thought.

After some contemplation, he decided to exchange for a top-tier supreme treasure from the higher-ups of the human race.

He was quite wealthy, possessing many treasures whose combined value far exceeded that of a single top-tier supreme treasure. Exchanging for one would not be a problem at all.

“The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire could forge top-tier supreme treasures, and his Heavenly Fire Palace must have some in stock. Why not exchange with him?” Ye Tian considered.

…

“True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, such a rare guest. You rarely visit me. Could it be that my junior, Mingyue, caused some trouble?” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire said upon seeing Ye Tian.

“How could Fairy Mingyue cause any trouble? I came here for something else,” Ye Tian replied.

“What is it?” the Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire inquired.

“I want to purchase a top-tier supreme treasure from you,” Ye Tian stated plainly.

“Purchase a top-tier supreme treasure?” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire was slightly surprised. “True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, don’t you already have a top-tier supreme treasure? Although it can only be considered a pseudo top-tier treasure, it is no different from a top-tier one for you. Why buy another?”

“Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire, I have a significant use for it. May I ask if you are willing to sell me one?” Ye Tian asked.

“Well…” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire appeared troubled. “True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, you should know how rare top-tier supreme treasures are among humans. The materials to forge them are hard to come by. Typically, the top-tier treasures I forge are commissioned by the nine supreme-level forces. Over the years, my Heavenly Fire Palace only has a few genuine top-tier supreme treasures, each one considered a treasure of the palace. Many forces have tried to buy them, but I have refused.”

“Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire, what do you think of this?” Ye Tian retrieved some peculiar water from his miniature universe. It was obtained from an ancient well in the world of a Heavenly Monarch in the Abyss of Destruction. This water could make a person’s body align perfectly with the Dao.

Ye Tian had been using this peculiar water to temper his body, achieving the most perfect alignment with the Chaos Dao, allowing him to harness its power to a terrifying extent.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

While this peculiar water couldn’t directly enhance cultivation, it could significantly boost strength. After all, the better one could harness the Chaos Dao’s power, the more their strength increased indirectly.

Hence, this peculiar water was useless to the weak but invaluable to the strong, especially those who had been immersed in the Dao for long ages. For them, it was a priceless treasure.

“What is this?” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire asked, curious, as he took the peculiar water and touched it with his hand.

Instantly, the strange energy flowed into his body, tempering it and aligning it with the Chaos Dao. Initially, he didn’t notice any changes in his body.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, Ye Tian’s voice broke the silence.

“Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire, try channeling the power of the Fire Dao.”

“Alright!” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire attempted to channel the power of the Chaos Dao and immediately his expression changed.

“How is this possible!!!” He discovered that his alignment with the Chaos Dao had slightly improved. Although it was a subtle change, he could definitely feel it.

“This is the Water Dao!!! You actually possess the legendary Water Dao!!” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire exclaimed in shock.

“So this is called the Water Dao,” Ye Tian remarked, learning the name of this peculiar water for the first time.

“Yes, this should be the legendary Water Dao. It’s said that this water is drawn from the Dao itself when one’s understanding reaches a certain level. The water in your possession appears to be a diluted version of the Water Dao. The legend says that a single drop of pure Water Dao is enough to grant someone a Dao Physique, perfectly aligning them with the Dao’s power. With enough Water Dao, one could even form a Dao Sacred Body.

Our human race once obtained a heritage that mentioned the Water Dao. Unfortunately, it is exceedingly rare and can only be found in the inheritances of powerful beings from the Chaos. I didn’t expect you to have such a thing!” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire spoke with excitement.

“Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire, would you be willing to trade a top-tier supreme treasure for this Water Dao?” Ye Tian asked.

“Of course!” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire responded eagerly. “However, this water is extremely diluted, so its value is limited. I would need 300 catties of it to trade for a top-tier supreme treasure!”

“Deal!” Ye Tian agreed immediately.

For others, 300 catties of diluted Water Dao would be a lot, but for him, it was quite manageable. Despite using a significant amount of this water, he still had plenty left. A mere 300 catties was nothing to him.

“So quick to agree?” The Heavenly Venerable Blazing Fire felt a twinge of regret. Seeing Ye Tian’s swift agreement, he realized that Ye Tian must have a substantial amount of this water. Perhaps he could have asked for a thousand catties, and Ye Tian would still have agreed.

However, he had already spoken, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to go back on his word. Besides, 300 catties of Water Dao were more than enough to justify the value of a top-tier supreme treasure. This amount of water would greatly enhance his alignment with the Fire Dao, allowing him to unleash its power more effectively.

In doing so, his battle strength, which had stagnated for ages, would see a significant boost. Many Heavenly Venerables had paid enormous prices to improve their strength slightly, often without success.

By merely trading a top-tier supreme treasure, he could greatly enhance his strength. This was a great deal for him! Therefore, he didn’t feel any loss in this transaction.

Soon, the trade was completed.

Ye Tian obtained a top-tier supreme treasure as he had hoped: the Forbidden Space Pearl!
