Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 1311

Chapter 1311: A Million Geniuses!

TL: Etude

Battle Gate base.

Ye Tian met the seventeen geniuses representing the Battle Gate in this competition. These individuals were all Transcendents. The weakest among them possessed the combat power of a top-tier first-stage Transcendent, very close to the strength of a second-stage Transcendent.

Of course, everyone concealed their aura and strength, and without fighting, it was difficult to judge the opponent’s true power.

Ye Tian could only initially judge that these people were Transcendents, but he couldn’t determine their specific level.

“Hello, my name is Qi He, titled Holy Son Divine River!”

“Hello, my name is Zhan Yu, titled Holy Son Ten Slashes!”

One by one, the Transcendents, who were also the Holy Sons of the Battle Gate, greeted Ye Tian.

However, Ye Tian saw faint traces of provocation in their eyes.

“My name is Ye Tian, titled Holy Son of Ten Thousand Laws!”

Ye Tian pretended not to see their expressions and introduced himself with a smile.

Just then, Holy Son Divine River spoke up: “Holy Son of Ten Thousand Laws, the Sacred War is the day after tomorrow yet you only arrived today. Isn’t that somewhat inappropriate? Moreover, arriving so late, I’m afraid you won’t even have time to understand your opponents. Could it be that the Holy Son of Ten Thousand Laws considers himself so powerful that he fears no opponent, thus disrespecting this Sacred War by deliberately arriving so late?”

The provocation had arrived!

“Holy Son Divine River, I disagree with your words. Shouldn’t we be focused on improving our strength as quickly as possible? Besides, I was at a critical point of breakthrough. Trading some time for a breakthrough in strength, is there anything wrong with that? If you, Holy Son Divine River, could have arrived a bit later and significantly increased your strength, would you have deliberately chosen not to improve your strength just for the sake of so-called face?” Ye Tian retorted.

“You…” Holy Son Divine River couldn’t refute it.

If that were truly the case, he definitely would have come later to break through and improve his strength! But how could things be so coincidental? Unity Realm cultivators like them had long been stuck in bottlenecks for countless ages, and their strength hadn’t improved for a long time. Naturally, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

However, he couldn’t admit Ye Tian’s point, otherwise, he would be slapping his own face.

“Holy Son of Ten Thousand Laws, if it weren’t for the fact that there are only two days left and all the major forces have arrived here, making it inconvenient to spar now for fear of exposing our strength, I would definitely teach you a good lesson!” Holy Son Divine River said coldly.

“I welcome the challenge anytime. If we add some stakes, I’d be even more interested!” Ye Tian said with a smile.

“Hmph!” Holy Son Divine River turned his face away and left directly.

Of course, not all Holy Sons were like this. A few came over to build connections with Ye Tian. After all, if they grew strong in the future, they would all be Domain Ancestors of the Battle Gate. There might be opportunities for cooperation, so there was naturally no need to deliberately offend him.

Even if they sometimes disliked each other, they wouldn’t voice it.

People like Holy Son Divine River who intentionally provoked others were relatively few.

Afterward, Ye Tian arrived at his temporary residence, and the Battle Gate had also assigned Ye Tian a servant at the Ordinary Domain Ancestor level—Domain Ancestor Tuba.

“Holy Son, I am your servant, Tuba. If there is anything you need, just instruct me!” Tuba said respectfully.

Looking at this temporary servant, Ye Tian didn’t know what to ask him to do for a moment.

So, Ye Tian asked about intelligence: “How much do you know about the Battle Gate’s Holy Sons and the situation of the other Sacred Gates and Sacred Lands?”

“Tuba knows quite a bit,” Domain Ancestor Tuba indicated.

“Tell me, who are the powerful opponents?” Ye Tian asked.

Domain Ancestor Tuba said: “On the surface, our Battle Gate has eight second-stage Transcendents, and you, Holy Son of Ten Thousand Laws, are one of them. As for the specific strength of these eight second-stage Transcendents, that is not very clear. The three relatively stronger second-stage Transcendents are Holy Son Star Feather, Holy Son Divine River, and Holy Son Morning Light. Among them, Holy Son Star Feather should be the most powerful Holy Son.”

“On the surface? What do you mean? Could it be that our Battle Gate has other Transcendents?” Ye Tian asked curiously.

“This subordinate doesn’t know either, it’s just speculation. After all, until the moment of the Sacred War, no one knows who will actually compete. For example, our Battle Gate actually has thirty slots, but currently, including those known on the surface, there are only eighteen participants. Whether there are other participants, I’m afraid even the Invincible Domain Ancestor Lords might not know for sure,” Domain Ancestor Tuba said.

Ye Tian nodded. If the actual strength of a Sacred Gate could be known so easily, then the Sacred Gate would have too few secrets.

Domain Ancestor Xuegang had said that this generation of Battle Gate Holy Sons wasn’t very strong, but perhaps even Domain Ancestor Xuegang himself didn’t understand the full situation. What if those Supreme Domain Ancestors had secretly cultivated peerless prodigies? It would be normal for Domain Ancestor Xuegang not to know.

“What about the other forces?” Ye Tian asked again.

Domain Ancestor Tuba quickly listed some powerful opponents.

Holy Son White Willow of the Sky Vault Sacred Gate, Holy Son Imperial Grain of the All-Things Sacred Gate, Holy Son Golden Crown of the Immortal Sacred Gate, Holy Son Overlord of the Heaven-Shocking Sacred Gate, Holy Son Shadowless of the Nether Heaven Sacred Gate, Holy Maiden Yao Yao of the Holy Maiden Gate, Holy Son Ten Realms of the Golden Bell Sacred Gate, Holy Son Dark Blood of the Dark Sacred Gate, and Holy Son Ape Heaven of the Forbidden Sacred Gate!

This time, the Forbidden Sacred Gate, a Sacred Gate composed of forbidden lifeforms, was also qualified to participate. After all, they were one of the Ten Supreme Sacred Gates and naturally wanted the slots for that mysterious world, so they would definitely participate.

If the Forbidden Sacred Gate were excluded, the major Sacred Gates would likely go to war amongst themselves. And the representative seed chosen by the Battle Gate was Holy Son Star Feather!

These ten Holy Sons could be called seeded contestants, but in reality, everyone knew they were just the seeded contestants on the surface. Whether they could ultimately enter the top twenty was still unknown.

Clearly, Ye Tian wasn’t being taken seriously. After all, his growth had been too slow, and his best achievement was only ranking in the top hundred of the Unity Ranking.

And the top hundred of the Unity Ranking wasn’t considered an impressive list, far incomparable to the roster of the Sacred War.

“Holy Son, besides the Ten Supreme Sacred Gates, the seventy-two Sacred Lands, the thousand-plus sects, and the hundreds of thousands of giant cities also have participation slots. Among the Sacred Lands, there are also quite a few powerhouses. After all, the descendants of some powerhouses in the Sacred Lands might have monstrous talent, and cultivating a monstrous genius with the resources of a Sacred Land is more than enough. In previous sessions, there have been geniuses from Sacred Lands who broke into the top ten of the Sacred War Ranking. In one session, there was even someone who ranked first on the Sacred War Ranking, but unfortunately, that genius later perished!” Domain Ancestor Tuba explained.

“Then there are a lot of participants this time!” Ye Tian murmured.

“Yes, even if each of those giant cities sends only one genius, that’s already hundreds of thousands. Adding the contestants from the Ten Supreme Sacred Gates, the seventy-two Sacred Lands, and the thousand-plus sects, there will be approximately nearly a million geniuses participating in total!” Domain Ancestor Tuba said.

Afterward, Ye Tian asked for some more information and gained a rough understanding of this Sacred War.
