TL: Etude
“True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, are you certain it was the Glazed Glass Sect who did this?”
True Ancestor Sheyue seed hesitant to believe.
The Glazed Glass Sect belonged to the Fifth Heaven forces, and there had never been any ties between the Void Sky lineage and the Glazed Glass Sect. He couldn’t understand why the Glazed Glass Sect would want to assassinate a True Ancestor of the Void Sky Hall, so he found it hard to trust Ye Tian’s words.
“Look!”
Ye Tian took out the relics of the three True Ancestors he had slain, which indeed contained the Glazed Glass Sect’s cultivation technique inheritances and various other items.
“I killed three True Ancestors, and these are their belongings. Also, geniuses and powerhouses of our Human Race were captured by the opposition, who lured out of the Void Sky True Nation clearly with the intention of ambushing ! They were mbers of the Glazed Glass Sect, and I have no previous connection with them.
Clearly, the Glazed Glass Sect has targeted our Void Sky lineage, continuously conducting assassinations, and this ti, I was their target! If True Ancestor Sheyue doesn’t believe , you can investigate it yourself!” Ye Tian declared.
At this point, True Ancestor Sheyue began to believe Ye Tian’s account and furrowed his brows.
If it had been an ordinary force, he would have long since led a team of True Ancestors to launch a counterattack.
But the Glazed Glass Sect was different—it was an established, top-tier Fifth Heaven force.
Although the Glazed Glass Sect’s Dao Ancestors were currently unable to erge, neither could the Void Sky lineage’s Dao Ancestors enter the Profound Void Ancient Realm! In terms of True Ancestor-level strength alone, the Void Sky lineage was no match for the Glazed Glass Sect.
“I’ll consult with the Dao Ancestors on this.” True Ancestor Sheyue said.
“Alright.” Ye Tian nodded. For now, this was the only course of action.
He wasn’t foolish enough to urge True Ancestor Sheyue to lead True Ancestors to assault the Glazed Glass Sect. The consequences would be far too severe. Even if they managed to inflict serious damage on the Glazed Glass Sect, the Void Sky lineage’s foundation in the Profound Void Ancient Realm would be lost as well.
Soon, word returned from the Dao Ancestors of the Void Sky lineage, instructing the True Ancestors in the Void Sky True Nation to hold their positions and to recall all True Ancestors back to the Void Sky True Nation imdiately.
As for this outco, Ye Tian had anticipated it long ago.
There was no other choice—unless the Void Sky lineage could find a Sixth or Seventh Heaven force to ally with them. But as a re Fourth Heaven force, Void Sky lineage would only be asked to submit, not form an alliance.
The Void Sky lineage naturally had no intention of submitting to other powers so easily. Blackwind Mountain, where Ye Tian had joined, could serve as a good alternative, but Blackwind Mountain had an unusual policy: it didn’t accept any subordinate forces, yet it welcod mbers from other powers.
For this reason, Blackwind Mountain was known as a loosely organized entity.
But there was no denying that Blackwind Mountain was powerful enough not to need subordinate forces.
In the past, Blackwind Mountain had a bold approach to nurturing talent: part of its mbers were self-trained, while the other part was directly seized from other forces.
The Void Sky True Nation remained motionless, as did the Glazed Glass Sect, and the two seed to have fallen into a peculiar standoff.
…
Within the Void Sky Realm.
A group of Dao Ancestors was holding a eting.
“It’s been found—the Dark God Palace has pledged allegiance to the Glazed Glass Sect, which is why the Glazed Glass Sect is targeting our Void Sky lineage!” A Dao Ancestor spoke.
“Strange, why would the Glazed Glass Sect agree to deal with us on behalf of the Dark God Palace? Given the current situation, it seems the Glazed Glass Sect’s Dao Ancestors haven’t awakened. With just their True Ancestors, it would be difficult to destroy the Void Sky True Nation in the Profound Void Ancient Realm. Why would they bother helping the Dark God Palace? A powerful force like the Glazed Glass Sect has no need for a minor sect like the Dark God Palace.”
“Perhaps the Dark God Palace paid so price to persuade the Glazed Glass Sect. Regardless, the Glazed Glass Sect has already taken action, and now the question is what we should do. Staying on standby forever isn’t a solution. If the Glazed Glass Sect grows impatient…”
“It could an an all-out battle!”
“Isn’t the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws a Peak Lord of Blackwind Mountain? Could he call upon Blackwind Mountain for aid? If Blackwind Mountain were to take action, the Glazed Glass Sect would be insignificant!”
Many Dao Ancestors looked toward Dao Ancestor Void Sky—the only one who could persuade Ye Tian.
“It’s unlikely. Blackwind Mountain probably wouldn’t act on the request of a re Peak Lord. Furthermore, during such a sensitive ti, why would Blackwind Mountain turn against a fellow force within the Divine Heaven Domain?” Dao Ancestor Void Sky said indifferently.
Yet, under the persistent persuasion of nurous Dao Ancestors, Dao Ancestor Void Sky still sent a ssage to Ye Tian, asking him to give it a try.
anwhile…
After receiving the ssage from Dao Ancestor Void Sky, Ye Tian contacted Peak Lord Dragon Force to express his hope of mobilizing Blackwind Mountain for assistance.
However, Peak Lord Dragon Force imdiately rejected the request.
“Peak Lord Nine Limits, although Blackwind Mountain is a loosely organized group, certain matters are bound by strict regulations. After all, many people within Blackwind Mountain have other affiliations! Unless a force threatens Blackwind Mountain directly, we never act rashly! Of course, if the Ten Kings issued an order, we would certainly comply! Otherwise, you’ll have to rely on your own subordinates.” Peak Lord Dragon Force explained.
“Understood, Peak Lord Dragon Force,” Ye Tian sighed.
Suddenly, Peak Lord Dragon Force added, “Although you can’t call upon Blackwind Mountain to fight the Glazed Glass Sect, you can use the many sacred sites within Blackwind Mountain to enhance your strength. If your own strength is formidable enough, you won’t need to fear the Glazed Glass Sect!”
“That’s true. Blackwind Mountain is at least an Eighth Heaven force; within such a power, I can undoubtedly strengthen myself with ease!” Ye Tian suddenly realized this.
It wasn’t entirely his fault. He hadn’t yet fully assud his identity as a Peak Lord of Blackwind Mountain; otherwise, he would have already used its resources to enhance his strength.
Then, Ye Tian learned about so aspects he hadn’t paid attention to before.
For instance, Blackwind Mountain primarily operated on a points-based system for transactions. Points could be exchanged with resources, though this thod wasn’t economical; another way was to complete missions.
However, with the Ten Kings in slumber and the Heavenly Kings still not awakened, hardly any missions had been released.
Thus, the True Ancestors, Peak Lords, and Generals of Blackwind Mountain had been relying on their previously accumulated points.
As a newly appointed Peak Lord, Ye Tian indeed found it challenging to earn points through missions. His only option was to exchange resources for points.
So, he traded a substantial amount of resources and valuable items, obtaining a full 100,000 points.
Such a large number of points would be sufficient to support his cultivation for countless years! Through Peak Lord Dragon Force, Ye Tian learned that many of Blackwind Mountain’s sacred sites had been destroyed, leaving only a few. Among these was a place called Purple Lake.
The Purple Lake was a standard sacred site, capable of accelerating True Ancestral Force cultivation and enhancing various forms of cultivation. Though it didn’t match the amplification recorded in the ancient realms, it could still stack with that amplification.
Cultivating at the Purple Lake cost one point per hundred years, with the rate calculated based on any ti acceleration applied within the lake.
Thus, there was no shortcut for anyone.
Ye Tian soon arrived at the Purple Lake, gazing at the vast expanse of pure purple waters. He imdiately dove in and began cultivating.
The mont he started, Ye Tian realized that his Nine Limits True Technique was running at a speed far beyond normal. His True Ancestral Force surged, with his cultivation advancing at an astonishing pace.
“Excellent! At this rate, with accelerated ti, my cultivation will improve rapidly!” Ye Tian said excitedly.
He set up a grand formation, enabling ti to accelerate ten thousandfold, so that one year outside equaled ten thousand years inside.
Thus, a hundred years passed outside in the blink of an eye—inside, Ye Tian had cultivated for a full million years.
The million years of relentless cultivation had cost him a massive 100,000 points! For other Peak Lords, 100,000 points might be all they had, but Ye Tian had spent them in a short ti, an extravagance that could only be called prodigious.
Thanks to this outlay of 100,000 points, Ye Tian’s progress was naturally substantial.
Now, his True Ancestral Force had multiplied several hundred tis over, and his cultivation officially advanced to the mid-stage Grand Dao Realm.
Simultaneously, Ye Tian’s Forbidden Body had finally broken through to a new level.
This ant that his Forbidden Body had officially been initiated.
“Forbidden Body!”
Ye Tian activated it, his body surging with dark, forbidden energy, covered with forbidden rules. A terrifying aura spread out, and the very laws of the Grand Dao retreated, not daring to co near him.
In this mont, Ye Tian seed to command all rules, transcending them.
With the Forbidden Body activated, his strength received a terrifying amplification.
“With my mid-stage Grand Dao Realm cultivation, plus the first layer of the Forbidden Body, my combat power should now have reached the threshold of a Pinnacle True Ancestor, albeit on the weaker side,” Ye Tian estimated.
