Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 610: The Ghost Realm! Soul Creatures!

TL: Etude

Ten days later.

Under the protection of Dominator Dark, Ye Tian arrived at the Holy City of the Human Race’s Holy Domain.

Currently, the Ghost Gate, this supreme treasure, had been moved to the Holy City and placed within the newly constructed Ghost Gate Building.

Thus, for the Ghost Gate to be opened, those entering it had to come to the Holy City.

The Holy City.

This was Ye Tian’s first visit here, and as soon as he entered, he felt its extraordinary nature.

“The Holy City is far more magnificent than Tianlan Giant City!” Ye Tian exclaimed.

In the Holy City, one could hardly see anyone below the Great God level. Almost everyone was at least of the Great God level, and there were even quite a few Universal Gods.

The presence of numerous powerful auras around him left Ye Tian deeply impressed.

“This is truly the core Holy City of the Human Race!” Ye Tian thought to himself.

Soon, Ye Tian arrived at the Ghost Gate Building.

The Ghost Gate Building was a newly established structure specifically designed to house the supreme treasure, the Ghost Gate, and was permanently guarded by numerous powerful individuals.

Such a supreme treasure like the Ghost Gate wasn’t very useful for an individual but was immensely beneficial for an entire race.

The Human Race would not use the Ghost Gate to alter their cultivation paths but could use it to gain many benefits from the Thirteen Ghost Realms.

At this moment.

Many powerful individuals had gathered in the Ghost Gate Building, all intending to enter the Ghost Gate.

However, according to Kunwu Supreme, the Human Race would not send overly powerful individuals into the Ghost Gate; at most, Universal Gods were allowed to enter.

This was because a stronger cultivation did not necessarily mean one would gain more benefits in the Ghost Realm. Only soul bodies could enter the Thirteen Ghost Realms, and while the souls of those at the Universal God level and above could be strengthened a bit, they couldn’t become overly powerful.

Therefore, the soul strength of Dominators and Universal Gods was not very impressive. They merely possessed special powers to protect their souls, so their souls were not a weakness. However, entering the Ghost Gate meant losing their physical bodies and fighting as souls, where the advantages of Universal Gods over Great God-level experts were not significantly greater.

Moreover, sending the souls of Dominators or even Heavenly Venerables and Supremes into the Ghost Gate would come at a great cost, making the cost-to-benefit ratio unworthy.

Hence, this time, the Human Race would only allow a few Universal Gods to enter the Ghost Gate, with most of the entrants being Planetary System level and Galaxy level, and only a few at the Great God level, including Ye Tian.

As time passed, most of the participants had arrived.

In the Ghost Gate Building, a Heavenly Venerable appeared.

“Greetings, Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable!”

“Greetings, Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable!”

“Greetings, Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable!”

Everyone greeted him in unison.

It was Ye Tian’s first time seeing this Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable, but he had heard of his renown.

After all, there were only 78 experts at the Heavenly Venerable level in the Human Race to date, and each Heavenly Venerable was a prominent figure holding significant power within the race.

Someone like Dominator Dark, at the Dominator level, was just an ordinary high-level figure with limited actual power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been assigned as a guardian for Ye Tian.

However, the Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable wielded great authority. He belonged to the Holy City and served as its deputy lord, overseeing its security and policies. He was also one of the founders of a special organization within the Human Race – the Punishment Hall.

If a major criminal appeared within the Human Race, the Punishment Hall would be responsible for apprehending them, while minor crimes would be handled by the Supreme Hall of Humanity.

This highlighted the high status of the Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable.

Following the Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable were several Dominators who collectively opened the Ghost Gate.

“Come, I’ll take you to the Ghost Gate!” the Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable said.

“Yes!” everyone responded.

Boom! A teleportation array appeared, and everyone stood within it.

With a flash! Ye Tian and the others were transported to a special space within the Ghost Gate Building.

In the dark space.

A massive, ten-thousand-meter-tall eerie black gate stood there, emanating an aura that made people tremble.

Countless eerie laws and black light covered the entire black gate, creating an unusual atmosphere.

“The Ghost Gate!” Ye Tian recognized it at a glance.

The Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable and others stood before the black gate, integrating black crystals into it.

As the black crystals merged into the gate, its radiance grew brighter! At this moment.

Someone suddenly exclaimed, “Those are Soul Crystals! My heavens, integrating so many Soul Crystals into the Ghost Gate, the cost is too great!”

“Soul Crystals!” Ye Tian was not unfamiliar with this treasure.

Soul Crystals were valuable items that could restore the soul. For instance, if someone’s soul was injured in battle, they could absorb and refine Soul Crystals to heal their soul wounds.

Additionally, Soul Crystals were used to craft soul defense treasures.

A tiny grain-sized piece of Soul Crystal was sufficient for crafting one soul defense treasure. A single Soul Crystal could create hundreds of such treasures.

Therefore, Soul Crystals were highly valued in the universe and considered strategic resources for any race.

However, Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable and the others were now merging a large quantity of Soul Crystals into the Ghost Gate, indicating the high cost they were willing to pay.

However, since the Human Race had recently exterminated the Ghost Race, they must have acquired countless resources, and the Ghost Race had a substantial reserve of Soul Crystals, making such a cost bearable.

Soon, Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable stopped merging the Soul Crystals, and the radiance of the Ghost Gate reached its peak.

“Open!” Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable shouted, and a massive black vortex appeared on the Ghost Gate.

Within the black vortex were countless black grids.

“Enter these black grids without resisting, and your souls will be extracted and transported to the Thirteen Ghost Realms.

In the Ghost Realm, the only things you can bring back are inheritances. Other treasures cannot be taken out; if you can refine them in the Ghost Realm, do so. Otherwise, they will remain there when you are transported back.

Remember to leave a copy of the inheritance imprint for the Human Race after you return!” Saint Punishment Heavenly Venerable instructed.

“Yes!” everyone responded.

Given the high cost the Human Race paid to open the Ghost Gate, it was only right for those who gained inheritances to imprint them for the Human Race, contributing to its development. If everyone acted selfishly and refused to share, the Human Race could not grow.

For instance, if the Supremes were selfish and did not contribute the Supreme Divine Canons, the Human Race wouldn’t have so many powerful Children of the Universe.

Ordinary people could be selfish, but people like Ye Tian could not afford to be.

Swoosh! One by one, the powerful individuals flew into the black grids within the vortex. Ye Tian also entered one of the grids. The grid was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

As soon as Ye Tian entered the grid, chains flew out, binding his hands and feet, as if restraining him.

Suddenly, Ye Tian lost consciousness, and his celestial soul was extracted.

His celestial soul was then transported into the Thirteen Ghost Realms connected to the Ghost Gate.

In an instant, all the celestial souls of the Human Race were transported away, but their physical bodies remained intact within the grids, protected from any harm unless the Ghost Gate itself was destroyed.

After an unknown period, Ye Tian regained consciousness.

At this moment, Ye Tian was completely naked, entirely in his celestial soul state, with a faint soul light emanating from his body. With a thought, he manifested a set of clothes.

These weren’t real clothes, merely garments woven from soul energy and the soul energy of this realm.

“So rich in soul energy, and it’s all ownerless. Souls can be preserved for a long time here. This must be one of the Ghost Realms within the Thirteen Ghost Realms!” Ye Tian muttered.

The Ghost Realm looked no different from the ordinary world, but it had no yuan qi, only soul energy and a certain eerie atmosphere that Ye Tian called ghost qi.

“Roar!” A beast’s roar echoed from not far away.

A creature resembling a black panther appeared in Ye Tian’s sight.

Instinctively, Ye Tian activated his copy talent to check the black panther’s talents.

Although his physical body was not present, his soul was, and he could still use his copy talent.

Instantly, the black panther’s talents appeared before Ye Tian’s eyes.

Species: Soul Panther

Soul Defense Talent: Top-tier

Soul Claw: Top-tier

Soul Roar: Top-tier

Seeing these talents, Ye Tian became very interested.

Soul talents were rare in the universe, and most were relatively ordinary. However, these creatures seemed to be soul creatures, inherently possessing soul talents.

Although the Soul Panther’s talents were ordinary, there might be extremely powerful soul talents here.

“Coming here was the right choice. I might be able to copy some powerful soul talents!” Ye Tian thought.

Swoosh! The Soul Panther charged at Ye Tian. He prepared to use his saber technique to kill the panther, but then remembered he was in his soul state, unable to use many of his methods.

“Soul Spear!” A long spear appeared and instantly pierced through the Soul Panther’s body.

The next moment, the Soul Panther’s body turned to ashes and dispersed into the air.

The Soul Panther’s soul strength was not very strong, equivalent to an Emperor-level soul, so it was no match for Ye Tian and was easily killed.

“Continue searching!” Ye Tian decided to look for more soul creatures to see if he could find some powerful talents.

Although the Soul Panther’s talents were ordinary, he copied them anyway since he had no limit on his copy talent uses and wasn’t worried about wasting slots.

Not knowing much about the Ghost Realm or how to find inheritances, he decided to gain more benefits in his own way.

As for the inheritances, he would let things take their course!
