TL: Etude
“My progress has been trendous!”
Ye Tian finished his secluded cultivation and took a mont to sense his current strength, unable to keep from marveling.
After cultivating Boundless Body Refining Technique, Soul Shattering Refining Technique, and Myriad Layers Origin Technique, his physical strength, true ancestral force, and soul strength had multiplied several tis over, transforming him dramatically. Additionally, he had perfected the Selfless Void Technique, Myriad Fiends True Spear Technique, and Tiangang Extre Speed Technique, and his Great Desolate Dao Body was approaching its limit.
Besides this, his Saber Dao had advanced rapidly, seemingly unrestricted, progressing swiftly. He had already grasped half of the Pinnacle Saber Dao.
His Pinnacle Wind Dao and Pinnacle Life Dao also showed considerable improvent, though since he hadn’t focused entirely on cultivating them, they could not compare with his Saber Dao.
Overall, Ye Tian’s power had grown substantially, far surpassing his past self—even ten or dozens of tis stronger than when he had just ascended to Supre True Ancestor.
“With my current strength, even an Invincible True Ancestor couldn’t withstand one of my strikes. Even one with powerful survival abilities wouldn’t need more than a few moves from to kill them!” Ye Tian calculated to himself.
According to his estimate, his strength now equaled a top-tier Third Heaven Dao Ancestor.
More importantly, he had yet to reach the limits of Supre True Ancestor. Once he achieved the pinnacle of Supre True Ancestor, his combat strength might even rival a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor.
One could only imagine what level of power he would attain once he stepped into the Dao Ancestor realm.
“Supre True Ancestors are terrifying. To a Supre True Ancestor, an Invincible True Ancestor is like a re child! I must see that my wife, sister, and children all rise to Supre True Ancestors, no matter the cost!” Ye Tian muttered to himself.
Other True Ancestors had no hope of challenging the Supre True Ancestor level, but his children, wife, and sister had already broken past the restrictions of lifeforms through the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart. As long as they reached the peak of Invincible True Ancestor and made a slight breakthrough, they could attain Supre True Ancestor combat power.
Thus, they held a considerable chance.
“Only two pieces of Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart remain. How should I handle them?” Ye Tian murmured thoughtfully.
Suddenly, he thought of Ouyang Jiu’er.
Ouyang Jiu’er had indeed been kind to him. The two shared a strong relationship, and during the last invasion of the Void Sky True Nation, it had been Ouyang Jiu’er’s intervention that saved his wife, Xiao Yue, from danger.
Ouyang Jiu’er had practically saved Xiao Yue’s life.
Furthermore, Ouyang Jiu’er had taken him to treasure grounds multiple tis, allowing him to gain greatly. Giving one piece of Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart to Ouyang Jiu’er seed well deserved.
So, he arranged to et with Ouyang Jiu’er, and they soon t.
“Big Brother Ye, why did you ask to see ?” Ouyang Jiu’er asked.
“This is for you!” Ye Tian handed a piece of Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart to Ouyang Jiu’er.
“Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart!”
Ouyang Jiu’er recognized it imdiately, exclaiming in shock, “Where did you obtain a Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart? This item is incredibly rare!”
Ye Tian didn’t hold back, explaining how he had discovered a Forbidden Treasure Land.
“How did you know about the Heaven-Forbidden Tree’s Heart’s effects? In the Divine Heaven Domain, it’s a deeply hidden secret. If not for my powerful elder, even I wouldn’t know such a secret!” Ouyang Jiu’er was astonished.
She believed that not even the Ten Kings of Blackwind Mountain knew of such a secret, and Ye Tian should have had no way of learning it either.
“Just happened to co across it in an ancient text,” Ye Tian said casually.
Ouyang Jiu’er didn’t probe further, only remarking, “Your decision was wise. While the Heaven-Forbidden Tree has a chance to grow into a Forbidden Divine Tree, even without cultivation, it produces a Heaven-Forbidden Fruit once every ten trillion years. But it takes such a long ti, and much could change in the anti, so extracting the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart is a reasonable choice! But are you certain about giving this piece? Do you realize what this Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart could fetch?”
“I know the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart is extrely precious, but you’ve helped a lot, so it’s only right that I give it to you,” Ye Tian replied nonchalantly.
Ouyang Jiu’er felt deeply touched, clutching the piece of Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart with emotion.
Once, she had dreamt of finding a piece of Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart or a Heaven-Forbidden Fruit, but they were elusive. Despite the Heaven-Forbidden Tree’s relatively modest level, it was more valuable than Forbidden Supre Treasures.
Among forbidden treasures, the Heaven-Forbidden Tree was supre.
After all, the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart and Heaven-Forbidden Fruit gave one a chance to enter the Supre realm. To a True Ancestor or even a whole force, they would give up a Forbidden Supre Treasure to fight for a Heaven-Forbidden Tree.
A Heaven-Forbidden Tree had once appeared in the Divine Heaven Domain, triggering battles between nurous Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible True Ancestors, leading to the death of countless Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.
One could imagine that if news of a Heaven-Forbidden Tree in the Profound Void Ancient Realm were to leak, dormant Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors would awaken at any cost to seize it.
“Big Brother Ye, I accept the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart, as I truly need it. However, you must not tell anyone that you possess a Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart. Even if you say you’ve used it, others won’t believe you and may stop at nothing to kill you,” Ouyang Jiu’er cautioned.
“Mm!” Ye Tian nodded.
After putting away the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart, Ouyang Jiu’er added, “I’ll head back to break through to Supre True Ancestor. Once I succeed, I’ll take you sowhere!”
Ye Tian didn’t know where Ouyang Jiu’er planned to take him, but he agreed nonetheless, nodding his head.
Ouyang Jiu’er departed, and Ye Tian also returned to continue his secluded cultivation.
Though his progress had begun to slow, by staying in seclusion for an extended period, his strength would still increase rapidly.
…
Tens of thousands of years passed.
One day.
Ouyang Jiu’er sent word to Ye Tian, informing him that she had broken through to the Supre True Ancestor level.
Ye Tian was not surprised by this at all.
After all, Ouyang Jiu’er was the reincarnation of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, so cultivating Dao techniques and other secret arts ca naturally to her. Now, with the assistance of the Heaven-Forbidden Tree Heart, breaking through to Supre True Ancestor was hardly difficult.
However, Ouyang Jiu’er still intended to remain in seclusion for a while longer to cultivate forbidden techniques.
Thus, Ye Tian waited a few more years.
During this period, his son Ye Xingchen and daughter Ye Xingyue made trendous strides. They were now at the pinnacle of the elite True Ancestor level, close to reaching top-tier True Ancestor status. anwhile, Xiao Yue and Ye Yu had progressed even more astonishingly; Xiao Yue had leaped directly from Pinnacle True Ancestor to Invincible True Ancestor combat power, while Ye Yu had beco a Pinnacle True Ancestor and ranked among the stronger mbers of that level.
After all, with the Dark Forbidden Power and Forbidden Body in their possession, their strength naturally surged, and with the presence of the Forbidden Space, their cultivation speed increased significantly.
Hence, their strength soared.
On this day,
Ouyang Jiu’er erged from seclusion and ca to find Ye Tian.
“Big Brother Ye, let’s set off!” Ouyang Jiu’er said.
“Jiu’er, where are we going?” Ye Tian asked.
“To retrieve one of my old treasure troves. The dangers there aren’t much of a threat to us, and I’ve already scouted it; it hasn’t been discovered. Moreover, there’s a certain treasure there that’ll be extrely useful to you! If we succeed in retrieving it, my strength will also advance rapidly!” Ouyang Jiu’er replied.
Ye Tian didn’t ask further and followed Ouyang Jiu’er as they quickly left the Void Sky True Nation. With Ouyang Jiu’er’s Shadowless Divine Step, their whereabouts remained completely unknown.
Before long, they arrived at a Domain Realm Fragnt Space.
This was an ownerless Domain Realm Fragnt Space. Due to its small size, lack of resources, and remote location, it had remained undiscovered.
Such ownerless Domain Realm Fragnts were common in the Profound Void Ancient Realm, and with so many other opportunities there, few bothered to search for them patiently.
With a swift motion, the two tore through the void and entered the fragnt space.
Once inside, Ye Tian scanned the surroundings but found nothing.
It was evident that even with his current strength, locating Ouyang Jiu’er’s treasure trove wouldn’t be possible; otherwise, it would have been found by others long ago.
“Open!”
With a single motion, Ouyang Jiu’er shattered the void, creating a passageway.
Imdiately, Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er entered it.
No sooner had they stepped in than a massive hand surged forward to attack.
It belonged to a colossal ape, and one at the Dao Ancestor level. However, this ape was bound by the chains of Profound Void Ancient Realm’s rules, with only its hand extending into the space from the unknown void beyond.
“Looks like there are still Dao Ancestor-level beings that haven’t perished!” Ouyang Jiu’er was unsurprised.
The ape’s strength wasn’t formidable; it was rely at the level of a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor. Currently, it could only exert the power of a peak Second Heaven Dao Ancestor, occasionally reaching Third Heaven Dao Ancestor levels under strain.
For an Invincible True Ancestor, this creature would be challenging. But for Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er, now both Supre True Ancestors, subduing the giant ape was simple.
“Freeze!”
Ouyang Jiu’er attacked, instantly freezing the massive ape’s hand, the ice spreading back toward its body.
“Shatter!”
As the words left her mouth,
the enormous frozen hand shattered into countless pieces, followed by a scream from the unknown depths—then silence.
With a step, the two descended and landed on the earth below.
