Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

“Kunwu Supreme, once I break through to the Planetary System level, I won’t be able to stay in the Heaven Region of the Supreme Hall of Humanity. What should I do next? Do you have any suggestions?” Ye Tian asked sincerely.

“There are two options!” Kunwu Supreme replied. “The first option is to stay in the Supreme Hall of Humanity. However, you certainly cannot remain in the Heaven Region. Instead, you would have to take on a position within the Supreme Hall of Humanity. For an ordinary prince, I would suggest this. But I advise you against holding any position in the Supreme Hall of Humanity.”

“Why?” Ye Tian asked curiously.

Kunwu Supreme, who oversaw the Supreme Hall of Humanity, would logically try to keep him there. Why would he advise against staying?

“Because you’re too talented!” Kunwu Supreme sighed. “Once you hold a position in the Supreme Hall of Humanity, you’ll have to sacrifice time dealing with its affairs. Many trivial matters will interfere with your cultivation. Your path to growth shouldn’t be hindered by such distractions. Therefore, I don’t recommend you stay.”

“What’s the second option?” Ye Tian asked.

“To be nominally under the Divine Blade Alliance, moving freely as a wandering cultivator, and simultaneously developing your own power. You established the Tian Pavilion, didn’t you? You can develop it further. Once the Tian Pavilion grows, it might bring you unexpected opportunities in the future.

You might wonder why I suggest the Divine Blade Alliance. It’s because other supreme-level factions are sect-based, and you have no background. Joining them might get you some focus from the Supremes, but others will definitely resist you due to conflicting interests.

People are inherently selfish. The Supremes might not be, but others can’t help it. In a faction that ostracizes and resists you, it’s very difficult to gain more opportunities. Hence, I don’t recommend joining other supreme-level factions.

The Divine Blade Alliance is different; it’s more like a loose alliance of wandering cultivators. Its members mainly take on tasks based on equivalent exchange, with little restraint. Moreover, with your potential and status, if something happens, we Supremes won’t ignore it. Therefore, being nominally under the Divine Blade Alliance is the best choice! But the decision is yours. Being nominally under the Divine Blade Alliance means a riskier path, while staying in the Supreme Hall of Humanity is much safer but offers fewer opportunities.” Kunwu Supreme explained.

Ye Tian agreed with Kunwu Supreme’s reasoning. If he continued to stay in the Supreme Hall of Humanity, it couldn’t offer him much more.

The Supreme Hall of Humanity was meant to nurture princes, not those above the Planetary System level. For instance, a Dominator like Dominator Dark wouldn’t receive many opportunities there, nor would they have much free time.

Thus, although the experts in the Supreme Hall of Humanity seemed safe, their progress was slower compared to those in sects.

Understanding this, Ye Tian naturally chose not to stay.

“Kunwu Supreme, I choose the second path!” Ye Tian declared.

“Very well. Once you break through to the Planetary System level, go register with the Divine Blade Alliance. I’ll inform Divine Blade Supreme, but don’t expect special treatment. Any opportunities will still depend on your efforts. Divine Blade Supreme will only try to help if you’re in danger,” Kunwu Supreme replied.

“Understood!” Ye Tian nodded.

Afterward, Ye Tian left the Kunwu Pavilion.

A few days later, Ye Tian left the Supreme Hall of Humanity. This time, he chose to break through to the Planetary System level in the Origin Realm.

His breakthrough process was different from others. He had already developed a dantian world and now needed to transform it and undergo a thunder tribulation to truly become a Planetary System level expert.

In a certain void of the Origin Realm, Dominator Dark secretly guarded him while Ye Tian sat cross-legged, beginning his breakthrough.

“Planetary System level means transforming the dantian into a world. I have already created the Ancient Chaos World, but its power cannot be fully harnessed. The true power source of the Planetary System level is the world. The body and the world must merge. I need to achieve this perfect integration and become the master of the world, also known as the master of the Planetary System level!” Ye Tian thought.

He then began to try merging with the Ancient Chaos World, transferring his celestial soul into it.

Boom! His celestial soul successfully moved into the Ancient Chaos World, sitting cross-legged in its void. He then infused all his celestial force into the Ancient Chaos World, attempting to break its world barrier.

“Break!”

Boom! The world barrier broke. Under Ye Tian’s control, the Ancient Chaos World began expanding and slowly merged perfectly with his body.

This process was slow and required a lot of time for the Ancient Chaos World to truly transform.

Days passed quickly.

On a particular day, Ye Tian’s Ancient Chaos World began to transform, frantically absorbing the surrounding yuan qi.

Transforming the Ancient Chaos World required more than just his own power; even the surrounding yuan qi was insufficient.

“Wow!” Ye Tian took out a large number of World Source Stones and Divine Crystals, among other resources. His breakthrough was unparalleled, necessitating ample preparation.

Boom! The Ancient Chaos World expanded and strengthened at an astonishing speed, while Ye Tian’s aura grew increasingly powerful. The three capabilities of essence, energy, and spirit also began to slowly merge, forming strands of World Origin, bringing genuine vitality to the Ancient Chaos World.

Previously, the Ancient Chaos World was a lifeless realm, but now it birthed vitality, possessing fundamental laws and other rules, making it a true world. The quality of this world depended on Ye Tian’s foundation. This foundation was the integration of essence, energy, and spirit. Therefore, the stronger the body, the greater the compression ratio of celestial force, the stronger the soul, and the deeper the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, the better the world formed.

As time passed, the resources around Ye Tian were gradually consumed, including a large number of World Source Stones.

One World Source Stone! Two World Source Stones! Three World Source Stones! Dominator Dark was astounded to see Ye Tian consuming so many World Source Stones without any sign of stopping.

“Prince of Ten Thousand Laws’ potential is truly astonishing. Others only need a few hundred stones. Even for a highly talented Eternal-level prince, two thousand World Source Stones are usually sufficient. But judging by his progress, he might need several thousand World Source Stones!” Dominator Dark thought.

Another day passed.

By this time, Ye Tian had consumed many World Source Stones, along with countless other resources. Even the surrounding yuan qi was completely depleted, creating a vacuum. To ensure Ye Tian had enough yuan qi, Dominator Dark even mobilized his own power to draw in yuan qi from other regions, preventing any shortage. With the support of these abundant resources and World Source Stones, Ye Tian’s Ancient Chaos World expanded hundreds of times and stabilized considerably.

Suddenly, a small sapling appeared in the Ancient Chaos World, gradually growing into a towering tree.

“The World Tree!” Ye Tian exclaimed. “No, it’s the Ancient Chaos Tree!” he realized upon seeing the chaotic aura emanating from the tree.

Back then, Ye Tian had obtained the Ancient Chaos Tree, but it was consumed during the creation of the Ancient Chaos World. Unexpectedly, as he broke through to the Planetary System level, the transformation of the Ancient Chaos World brought the Ancient Chaos Tree back, now even more majestic and robust than before.

At the moment of his breakthrough, Ye Tian’s celestial soul also grew stronger. Seizing this opportunity, Ye Tian practiced the Nether King Secret Manual, breaking through the soul’s bottleneck and elevating his celestial soul to the level of a General.

This was a double achievement! The Ancient Chaos World transformed, celestial force rapidly converted into Planetary System level celestial force, which could in turn convert into the world’s power, and vice versa. At this moment, Ye Tian truly ascended to the first stage of the Planetary System level.

As Ye Tian stood up, an immense thundercloud appeared in the void.

“The thunder tribulation is about to descend. This time, there should be twelve strikes,” Ye Tian murmured.

Soon, the first thunderbolt struck.

This thunderbolt far surpassed previous ones, capable of annihilating a powerful Peak Planetary System level expert. Yet Ye Tian merely glanced at it indifferently, grabbed the thunderbolt, and casually crushed it into nothingness.

The second thunderbolt! The third thunderbolt! One after another, thunderbolts descended. Ye Tian directly withstood them with his body, effortlessly shattering the power of the thunderbolts.

In no time, all twelve thunderbolts had descended.

Ye Tian emerged unscathed from the tribulation, with ease. If another Supreme Prince had faced such a tribulation, there was a ninety percent chance of death.

In secret, Dominator Dark witnessed Ye Tian effortlessly passing this level of thunder tribulation without a scratch and couldn’t help but marvel, “Prince of Ten Thousand Laws’ current strength is likely enough to kill an ordinary Universal God. Even a strong Universal God would struggle to kill him!”

Reflecting on his own breakthrough to the Planetary System level, Dominator Dark realized he was far inferior to Ye Tian, not even comparable to one of Ye Tian’s fingers.

Whoosh! Dominator Dark revealed himself, appearing before Ye Tian and congratulating him, “Congratulations, Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, on ascending to the Planetary System level!”

“You’re too kind, Dominator Dark. From today on, I am no longer a prince!” Ye Tian replied.

“Then I shall address you as True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws!” Dominator Dark said with a smile.

From this moment, Dominator Dark would no longer be Ye Tian’s guardian. Nevertheless, he remained very respectful towards Ye Tian, believing that with Ye Tian’s growth speed, it wouldn’t be long before he surpassed him.

Afterward, Ye Tian returned to the Supreme Hall of Humanity to stabilize his realm. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave and planned to stay for a while longer, confident that the Supreme Hall of Humanity wouldn’t rush him out.

“Let’s test the quality of the world first!” Ye Tian thought.

He took out a World Pearl, infused it with his world power, and two words appeared within the pearl.
