Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 1226

Chapter 1226: Frenzied Gathering!

TL: Etude

Ye Tian prepared to dismiss the Dark King’s Copy Body and intended to duplicate a Star Sand Beast instead.

Although dismissing the Copy Body and reactivating this ability required ten thousand years, even with time acceleration at a hundred thousand times, it could still take over a month before he could reuse it.

Judging by the current situation, in another month, the All-Things Star Sand in the World of Earth would likely have been completely harvested, or at least mostly depleted.

Even though a hundred-thousandfold time acceleration was the limit under the rules, with a time-type forbidden wondrous object, this limit could be broken, allowing for acceleration by a millionfold or even more.

However, time-type forbidden wondrous objects were incredibly rare and precious. Even if someone possessed one, they wouldn’t waste it on mere time acceleration.

Over the years, Ye Tian had acquired countless forbidden wondrous objects, including one of high-grade forbidden wondrous object quality that could accelerate time by up to two million times.

Calculating based on this, enduring ten thousand years internally would translate to just over a day passing externally.

Losing a day wasn’t a significant issue. After all, the World of Earth was as vast as an Ancient Realm, and even Half-Step Domain Ancestors required a substantial amount of time to explore the entire place, given the ineffectiveness of their spiritual sense.

Ye Tian separated from Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue to search independently, taking the opportunity to summon the Dark King to his side.

At Ye Tian’s thought, the Dark King’s Copy Body dissipated. The Forbidden Armor, Heaven-Slaying Spear, and other weapons on him fell one by one, along with all the treasures and resources he had previously acquired, which Ye Tian quickly collected.

Then, Ye Tian began duplicating the body of a Star Sand Beast.

With a sudden flash, an enormous Star Sand Beast appeared. It resembled an enlarged sand rat and was covered in thick black scales.

Ye Tian controlled the Star Sand Beast’s body, feeling a peculiar sense of instinct. In a distant location, there was something that triggered a strong feeling of disgust. This instinctual emotion made the Star Sand Beast unwilling to approach that area.

But Ye Tian wasn’t a real Star Sand Beast, so he naturally wouldn’t act on such instincts.

“That place must have All-Things Star Sand!” Ye Tian speculated.

Immediately, he maneuvered the Star Sand Beast’s body through the earth toward the location.

Soon, he arrived and found, as expected, All-Things Star Sand.

Ye Tian refrained from letting the Star Sand Beast retrieve the All-Things Star Sand, as it lacked the Copy Talent and couldn’t survey the surroundings. If there happened to be a Half-Step Domain Ancestor or another Dao Ancestor nearby, the Star Sand Beast body would be doomed.

He had no second time-type forbidden wondrous object to accelerate time, so he couldn’t afford to take unnecessary risks.

The Star Sand Beast’s task was to lock onto the location of the All-Things Star Sand, while his main body followed behind to scout. If no danger was detected, he would collect the All-Things Star Sand himself.

Shortly after the Star Sand Beast’s body left, Ye Tian’s main body arrived at the site, used the Copy Talent to check the surroundings, and then quickly collected the grain of All-Things Star Sand.

In this way, the Star Sand Beast continued to search for All-Things Star Sand throughout the World of Earth, while his main body followed to retrieve them one by one. Together, they cooperated perfectly, amassing a large amount of All-Things Star Sand.

Time passed day by day, and the All-Things Star Sand in the World of Earth grew scarcer. After forty days, the Star Sand Beast could no longer sense the presence of any more All-Things Star Sand, despite searching tirelessly.

Perhaps there were still some in extremely remote locations within the World of Earth, but Ye Tian didn’t want to wait any longer.

In total, he had acquired 872 grains of All-Things Star Sand.

He wasn’t sure how many grains the Half-Step Domain Ancestors had collected, but he was certain it was nowhere near as many as he had.

Afterward, Ye Tian regrouped with his son and daughter.

“Father, I only managed to get one grain of All-Things Star Sand!” Ye Xingchen sighed deeply.

Ye Xingyue puffed out her cheeks and said, “I couldn’t even find a single grain!”

“If you couldn’t find it, then so be it. Let’s head to the World of Metal. Many Dao Ancestors have already gone there, and if we’re late, we’ll end up with nothing!” Ye Tian urged.

“Alright!” Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue nodded repeatedly.

With a flash of movement, the three of them exited the World of Earth through a spatial fissure. Traversing through a series of void cracks, they finally arrived in the World of Metal.

The moment they entered the World of Metal, battles erupted everywhere, even involving Half-Step Domain Ancestors clashing fiercely.

Coincidentally, Ye Tian, Ye Xingchen, and Ye Xingyue landed right in the middle of a battlefield. Around four or five Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were fighting madly over a vein of ore, each unleashing their power in a chaotic struggle.

As Ye Tian descended, a stray attack blasted in his direction.

“Get lost!”

With a casual wave, Ye Tian deflected the attack, his cold voice cutting through the air.

“It’s the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!”

The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors froze in terror and immediately fled, no longer daring to fight there. Staying would have meant certain death.

After those Dao Ancestors left, Ye Tian and his two children turned their attention to the vein of ore.

“Father, it’s a Black Veined Heavenly Stone Vein!” Ye Xingchen identified the ore excitedly.

“Indeed, it’s a Black Veined Heavenly Stone Vein, containing traces of Forbidden Attributes. While it’s not sufficient for crafting a Forbidden Weapon, it can still be used to forge Dao Artifacts with forbidden properties. Such a vein could produce tens of thousands of top-tier Dao Artifacts, so it’s no wonder those Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were fighting so desperately over it.” Ye Tian spoke in a low voice.

Without delay, the three of them began extracting the ore vein. After some time, they managed to fully remove the vein from the World of Metal and stored it in Ye Tian’s internal world.

Ye Tian understood that the greatest treasures of the World of Metal were its rare ore veins. The Black Veined Heavenly Stone Vein was considered a lower-tier vein and unlikely to attract the greed of Half-Step Domain Ancestors or Invincible Dao Ancestors.

Those powerful Dao Ancestors were undoubtedly vying for even more valuable veins, leaving these lower-value veins untouched. Or, one could say that the Invincible Dao Ancestors and Half-Step Domain Ancestors were simply overconfident in their priorities.

However, Ye Tian knew that in the outside world, if a Black Veined Heavenly Stone Vein appeared, even Invincible Dao Ancestors would compete fiercely for it. Here, in the World of Metal, such veins were considered mundane.

Ye Tian, accompanied by his children, continued searching for ore veins. They quickly discovered several veins of slightly lower value than the Black Veined Heavenly Stone Vein. These veins remained unexploited, and Ye Tian instructed his children to mine and search for these low-value veins in the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian donned the Dark King’s equipment, transforming into the Dark King to compete for the more precious veins.

Before long, he arrived at a battlefield where multiple Invincible Dao Ancestors were fighting over an ore vein. Among them were several Dao Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain, including Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire, Dao Ancestor Jade Cauldron, and Dao Ancestor Golden Buddha.

Scanning the battlefield, Ye Tian noticed the ore vein had already been shattered into fragments, and his pupils contracted sharply.

“That’s an Immortal Black Gold Vein!!!”
