Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 487: Tianyou, The Crystal Spirit Race’s Perfunctory Welcome

Not long after, the Galaxy-level powerhouse of the Crystal Spirit Race returned.

“Please, follow me,” said the Galaxy-level powerhouse respectfully.

“Let’s go,” Divine Lord Ri Yao stated.

Ye Tian followed Divine Lord Ri Yao, flying deep into the Crystal Spirit Galaxy. Due to Ye Tian’s relatively weaker cultivation, Divine Lord Ri Yao enveloped Ye Tian with his power, enabling them to traverse through planetary systems at an unbelievable speed.

Shortly after, the group arrived at the Crystal Spirit Continent.

The Crystal Spirit Continent was the sole main continent of the Crystal Spirit Galaxy, home to over fifty percent of the Crystal Spirit Race’s population.

Upon Ye Tian and the others’ arrival at the Crystal Spirit Continent, a powerful member of the Crystal Spirit Race with a purple mark on his forehead appeared.

“Purple Crystal Spirit!” Ye Tian thought to himself.

As this Purple Crystal Spirit approached, Ye Tian used his Copy Talent to inspect the individual’s talents.

Crystal Spirit Race: Tian Qian

Cultivation Talent: Universal

Strength Talent: Mystic

Speed Talent: Peak Mystic

Defense Talent: God level

Space Talent: Pseudo-Mystic 80%

Spear Technique Talent: Dawn level

“With a Universal Cultivation Talent and signs of aging on his face, this individual must be quite old, likely having reached the Universal God level. Unfortunately, his space talent isn’t even at the Mystic level,” Ye Tian felt somewhat disappointed.

“So, it is Divine Lord Ri Yao from the Supreme Hall of Humanity!” said the Purple Crystal Spirit Universal God as he approached.

“Lord Tian Qian, long time no see,” Divine Lord Ri Yao replied, sounding quite indifferent.

Although the two were acquainted, they clearly weren’t friends.

“And this must be the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws from the Supreme Hall of Humanity!” Lord Tian Qian’s gaze shifted to Ye Tian.

“Lord Tian Qian, hello, I am the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws from the Supreme Hall of Humanity!” Ye Tian introduced himself.

“Lord Tian Qian, you must be aware of the purpose of our visit,” Divine Lord Ri Yao got straight to the point.

“Of course!” Lord Tian Qian’s eyes hid a trace of displeasure, but his face was all smiles as he said, “The Third Elder has been waiting for you both. Please, follow me.”

“Lead the way,” Divine Lord Ri Yao responded.

The group followed Lord Tian Qian into a massive city of the Crystal Spirit Race—Tianyou City.

Tianyou City wasn’t the true headquarters of the Crystal Spirit Race. Even though Ye Tian and Divine Lord Ri Yao were from the human race, access to the core areas of the Crystal Spirit Race was restricted, just as it would be for anyone else.

Every race had its secrets, and allowing outsiders into one’s core area could be catastrophic for any civilization.

Just like the Supreme Hall of Humanity, even for its own members, security was tight to prevent infiltration.

Although the Crystal Spirit Race had aligned with the humans, they maintained autonomous governance and protected their core secrets from prying eyes.

If any human attempted to forcibly enter the core area of the Crystal Spirit Race, it would be considered an act of hostility against the Crystal Spirit Race.

Naturally, the Crystal Spirit Race would not stand idly by! Thus, this time when Divine Lord Ri Yao brought Ye Tian to the Crystal Spirit Race, they were only permitted to enter Tianyou City.

Upon entering Tianyou City, they were led into a palace.

Here, Ye Tian and Divine Lord Ri Yao met with the Third Elder of the Crystal Spirit Race.

“Greetings, God Master of God’s Blessing!” Divine Lord Ri Yao said respectfully upon seeing the Third Elder of the Crystal Spirit Race.

“You are too polite, Divine Lord Ri Yao,” Divine Lord Tianyou responded with a slight nod.

Ye Tian observed Divine Lord Tianyou closely. The elder’s hair was thinning, his face was gaunt, and his body exuded a strong sense of decay.

“His life is nearing its end!” Ye Tian thought.

Judging by the elder’s appearance and vitality, his lifespan was definitely short.

However, Ye Tian did not dare to underestimate him.

Divine Lord Ri Yao was a Universal God of the Supreme Hall of Humanity, and the humans were considered the overlords of the Crystal Spirit Race, akin to masters.

Yet, Divine Lord Ri Yao still showed great respect to Divine Lord Tianyou, indicating the latter’s formidable strength, which surely surpassed Divine Lord Ri Yao.

Ye Tian was not far from Divine Lord Tianyou, allowing his Copy Talent to easily envelop the elder.

“Inspect!”

Under the coverage of the Copy Talent, the elder’s talents were fully revealed.

Upon seeing this, Ye Tian was greatly surprised.

Crystal Spirit Race: Yun Tianyou

Cultivation Talent: Universal

Strength Talent: God level

Defense Talent: God level

Speed Talent: God level

Saber Technique Talent: Supreme

Space Talent: Mystic level

Gold Shield Talent: God level

Gravity Talent: God level

“What an incredible set of talents!” Ye Tian was utterly astonished in his heart.

Such talents were extremely powerful. For instance, with the Mystic level space talent and the Crystal Spirit Race’s resources, Divine Lord Tianyou must have cultivated spatial divine abilities.

“Could it be that Divine Lord Tianyou is a Universal God who achieved his status as a Child of the Universe?” Ye Tian speculated.

If this was true, then Divine Lord Tianyou’s strength must be terrifying. He might have cultivated to the pinnacle of a Universal God, which would explain why Divine Lord Ri Yao showed him such respect.

It seemed likely that Divine Lord Tianyou was well-known throughout the universe, far from ordinary.

“Greetings, Divine Lord Tianyou!” Ye Tian greeted with a fist and palm salute.

“You must be the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws from the human race. Although humans are inherently weak, your potential is truly limitless!” Divine Lord Tianyou looked deeply at Ye Tian and praised.

Then he continued, “I am aware of your purpose. The Spatial Origin Artifact can be studied by the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws for a month, but you’ll have to wait some days because the Spatial Origin Artifact is in our Crystal Spirit Race’s secret realm world, and the secret realm will not open for another half a year! As for having one of our clan members with spatial talents guide you, I can only say I’ll do my best.

You probably want to elevate your Mystic level space talent to the God level, which is extremely difficult. Even I couldn’t achieve this in the past. It requires not only luck but also the right opportunity. In any case, it’s very challenging.

How about this: you can enter the Library Treasure Pavilion in Tianyou City to browse some tomes related to space cultivation, which might provide you with some insights. Later, I will arrange for one of our top Mystic level spatial talents to personally guide you. Whether or not this will be helpful to you depends on yourself!”

“Thank you, Divine Lord Tianyou!” Ye Tian expressed his gratitude.

“Divine Lord Ri Yao, Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, I will have someone arrange for your accommodation first. Tomorrow, someone will take you to the Library Treasure Pavilion. How does that sound?” Divine Lord Tianyou inquired.

“We will follow Divine Lord Tianyou’s arrangements,” Ye Tian nodded.

After all, this was their territory, and even Divine Lord Ri Yao dared not speak out of turn, so Ye Tian naturally had to comply with their arrangements.

Subsequently, Divine Lord Tianyou arranged for Ye Tian and Divine Lord Ri Yao to stay in a loft in Tianyou City.

In a room of the loft, Ye Tian and Divine Lord Ri Yao had a private conversation.

“Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, it seems they are indeed giving us a perfunctory treatment,” Divine Lord Ri Yao said gravely.

“Why do you say that?” Ye Tian inquired.

Divine Lord Ri Yao explained, “Tianyou City is merely a city built by Divine Lord Tianyou himself. The city’s foundation is weak, and the Library Treasure Pavilion in Tianyou City cannot contain many precious tomes. Moreover, asking you to visit the library tomorrow probably means they will remove the most valuable and core tomes today, leaving only some insignificant ones for you to see. Isn’t this perfunctory? However, I had already anticipated this. Most of these vassal races are somewhat servile, only wishing to use our human race as a protective umbrella, but they are not fully aligned with us.”

“I see!” Ye Tian nodded in agreement with Divine Lord Ri Yao’s words and then curiously asked, “Divine Lord Ri Yao, is Divine Lord Tianyou really that powerful?”

Divine Lord Ri Yao revealed a deep wariness and nodded, “Indeed, Divine Lord Tianyou once reached the peak Child of the Universe status at the Emperor level, but due to the Crystal Spirit Race’s lack of resources, he fell to the Ordinary level at the Great God stage. However, he has now reached the pinnacle of a Universal God, and his strength is far greater than mine. It would only take him one move to kill me. Once, on a Universal God battlefield, he alone defeated eight peak Universal Gods.”

“Truly powerful!” Ye Tian exclaimed.

“However, Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, if you ascend to the Universal God level in the future, strong beings like Divine Lord Tianyou will not be considered much,” Divine Lord Ri Yao said.

“Divine Lord Ri Yao, would it be okay if I went out for a walk?” Ye Tian suddenly asked.

“No problem. You are an Eternal Prince of our human race; the Crystal Spirit Race wouldn’t dare let anything happen to you in Tianyou City!” Divine Lord Ri Yao’s words reassured Ye Tian.

Ye Tian left the loft and wandered the streets. His purpose was not simply to relax but to observe the talents of other Crystal Spirit Race members, to see if he could encounter any with God level spatial talents.

However, this turned out to be a bit too optimistic. After walking around, Ye Tian used his Copy Talent to check the talents of all the Crystal Spirit Race members he encountered, except for those in buildings protected by powerful array formations, but he did not come across any with God level spatial talents.

Thus, Ye Tian returned to the loft.

The next day, a Great God level member of the Crystal Spirit Race was sent to take Ye Tian to the Library Treasure Pavilion in Tianyou City.
