Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 828: Ancient Demon Cave
TL: Etude
The area where the Eternal Universe and Cangyu Universe fused had grown increasingly vast, and the surrounding rules had become chaotic. Even Divine General-level experts couldn’t seal off the passage between the two universes, nor could they set up formations, as the expanding area would tear apart even the most powerful formations.
Because of this, experts from both the Eternal Universe and the Cangyu Universe couldn’t prevent each other from infiltrating. That is unless they hid in the entrance continuously, constantly eliminating incoming cultivators. However, they would be breaking the rules entirely, obstructing the interconnection between the two universes.
The Earthly Venerables and Divine Generals, seeking transcendence, inevitably needed to enter the opposing universe. No one dared to destroy the rule. Hence, at the moment of entering the other universe, no one acted. However, once one left the passage and ventured deep into the other universe, if caught, they would be truly captured.
Currently, both universes had gathered enough intelligence about each other, and no one deliberately ambushed the other’s cultivators. Therefore, this period was relatively safe. Even an ordinary Earthly Venerable infiltrating the Cangyu Universe wouldn’t face much danger unless they purposely sought death or deliberately revealed their aura and location.
On this day, Ye Tian traversed the cosmic passage into the Cangyu Universe. Immediately, he concealed his aura and used the Eternal Light Divine Ability to leave swiftly. Though he did not fear the Cangyu Universe’s experts, he didn’t want to invite trouble.
In the Cangyu Universe, there was the Ancient Demon Cave. This cave had emerged as a treasured land shortly after the birth of the Cangyu Universe. Fifty thousand years ago, numerous Divine Generals and Earthly Venerables entered the Ancient Demon Cave, leading to a brutal massacre. One Divine General perished, five were severely injured, and several other Divine Generals suffered lighter injuries. Many Earthly Venerables also fell.
However, this massacre did not weaken the Cangyu Universe but made it stronger. Three Earthly Venerables advanced to Divine General level, and dozens of ten-star Earthly Venerables were born. This outcome was attributed to the Ancient Demon Cave. Because of this, the cave’s secrets leaked out, and many Earthly Venerables and even Human Venerable cultivators sought to enter. However, the major holy lands now controlled the cave, making it exceedingly difficult for independent cultivators and minor forces to enter.
Still, the holy lands did not dare offend other forces too much. Even though smaller forces might be weak, if united, they could cause considerable trouble for the holy lands. Moreover, the holy lands needed resources and often had people traveling outside. If they were targeted, the holy lands’ future would not be easy. Therefore, the holy lands allocated some spots, periodically issuing Ancient Demon Tokens that allowed entry into the cave. Without a token, one could only forcefully breach the holy lands’ blockade.
The holy lands had built checkpoints outside the cave, with three Divine Generals stationed there long-term. Even a ten-star Earthly Venerable would face certain death if they tried to break through.
From a distance, Ye Tian stood, gazing at the cave and murmured, “Indeed, there are three Divine Generals!”
His Life Heavenly Eye detected the life auras of these three Divine Generals but couldn’t determine their exact level. They seemed to be only one-star Divine Generals, not higher. Two-star Divine Generals were generally top existences in the Cangyu Universe, preparing to break through to three-star. They wouldn’t be guarding the cave. However, Ye Tian couldn’t determine if there were two-star Divine Generals inside the cave since his Life Heavenly Eye couldn’t probe the cave’s interior.
“The Ancient Demon Cave contains ancient demonic yuan qi, capable of tempering the body and breaking its limits. If one possesses the Chaos Body Refining Technique, cultivating in the cave would be extremely fast!”
This information was obtained by Ye Tian, but the true allure of the Ancient Demon Cave wasn’t the ancient demonic yuan qi. After all, many people had poor physical talents and lacked the Chaos Body Refining Technique, so no matter how much they tempered their bodies, the improvement wouldn’t be significant.
The true opportunity within the Ancient Demon Cave lay in the Ancient Demon Tower. This tower, birthed within the cave, was a supreme treasure that far surpassed other supreme treasures.
Supreme treasures and Chaos Spirit Treasures belonged to the same tier, with the primary difference being their place of origin. Chaos Spirit Treasures could only be nurtured within chaos, while supreme treasures did not require this environment. In theory, supreme treasures were inferior to Chaos Spirit Treasures because the rules contained within them were not as profound. However, the aura emitted by the Ancient Demon Tower exceeded even pinnacle Chaos Spirit Treasures, approaching the level of Chaos Supreme Treasures.
According to the classification of Chaos Spirit Treasures, they were divided into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, peak-grade, and supreme-grade. Typically, the most powerful supreme treasures in the universe were only comparable to upper-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures. Yet, the aura of the Ancient Demon Tower surpassed that of ordinary supreme-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures.
The Cangyu Universe had inherited the traditions and cultivation methods of chaos and had a deep understanding of Chaos Spirit Treasures. When they discovered that the Ancient Demon Tower surpassed ordinary supreme-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures and was worth several such treasures, they went mad with excitement.
Supreme-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures were incredibly precious within chaos. Even many Destiny Realm experts didn’t possess supreme-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures, relying instead on peak-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures. Obtaining the Ancient Demon Tower and comprehending its powerful rules could enhance one’s strength, potentially leading to transcendence.
Thus, the slaughter began.
However, they soon discovered they couldn’t take the Ancient Demon Tower. It was intrinsically linked to the Ancient Demon Cave, beyond their ability to move. Once they realized this, the fighting ceased.
Quickly, they discovered the immense benefits the tower offered. The Ancient Demon Tower had thirteen levels. Anyone who could pass through all thirteen levels would gain the recognition of the tower’s spirit and become its master, thereby able to take it away.
But they found this too difficult, harder than achieving transcendence. No one aimed to claim the tower; instead, they treated it as a place to cultivate, entering it solely to improve their strength.
“According to the information obtained, the Ancient Demon Tower purely serves as a place to hone combat skills. Once inside, one cannot use the Grand Dao, divine force, or rules—only the physical body and combat techniques. Many Earthly Venerables were stuck on the first level, unable to pass to the second. Even Divine General-level experts were only on the second or third levels, with no hope of reaching the thirteenth.”
“Passing each level rewards the purest ancient demonic yuan qi, rapidly refining the body,” Ye Tian murmured.
From the information, it was clear that the Ancient Demon Tower was a supreme treasure purely for cultivation, incredibly rare and surpassing even supreme-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures in value. Unfortunately, the people in the universe were too weak to fully utilize the tower. If it were in the outside world, it would likely spark battles among Destiny Realm experts and fierce competition among many forces.
“This time, whether I can break through to become a three-star Divine General depends on the Ancient Demon Cave,” Ye Tian thought.
