Naturally, Ye Chen was not yet at a level where he could come into contact with the Overlord behind the Heaven's Secret Pavilion.
He walked into the Heaven's Secret Pavilion, which was exceptionally bustling and lively, with numerous powerful figures constantly entering and exiting. Most were Ancient Path Trial-Takers. He also saw that the space within the vast treasure hall was far larger than the outside world—it was a small world. Above, there were large Dao light screens continuously displaying various pieces of intelligence, and the prices behind them were basically not in spirit stones, but required treasures or equivalent items for exchange.
After all, for many Ancient Path Trial-Takers, unless it was divine spirit sources, ordinary spirit stones held little cultivation value for them. This was especially true for the Ancient Path Overlord behind the Heaven's Secret Pavilion, who was unimaginably powerful. How could they lack such spirit stones? They needed treasures more.
Moreover, the related intelligence basically involved various pieces of information concerning the Ultimate Ancient Path. Among them were plenty of details about the current young generation's supremes, Imperial Sons, and other Trial Ancient Passes on the Ultimate Ancient Path, and even some intelligence about supreme treasures—almost everything one could need.
Naturally, intelligence regarding young generation's supremes and Imperial Sons was quite expensive; any single piece of information was worth at least the equivalent of over a million catties of divine spirit sources.
As for intelligence about the Overlords of the Ultimate Ancient Path, there were quite a few as well, but they were all as expensive as astronomical figures.
Although Ye Chen also wanted to learn about the news of those young generation's supremes and Imperial Sons on the current Ultimate Ancient Path, he wanted even more to learn about the news of his old friends, especially Chen'er and the Goddess. Over a hundred years had passed now, and he didn't know how they were doing.
Arriving at the front desk, Ye Chen directly spoke up to the enchantingly beautiful and fox-like female attendant, requesting information related to the Goddess, Chen'er, and Yi Wu.
Originally, Ye Chen had thought it would only cost the equivalent of a million catties of spirit sources. However, the final price he received was worth ten million catties of spirit sources—a value that could be considered above that of an Imperial Son. It left him somewhat dumbfounded.
"Why is it so expensive, even more so than for a young generation's supreme or an Imperial Son?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask. Then he saw a trace of disdain flash across the attendant's expression, though it was fleeting, it was still caught by Ye Chen. He wasn't angered, but rather became more curious.
"Because they are the founders of the Moon Hall!" the attendant said slowly, her gaze fervent and carrying a tone of near-worship.
"Moon Hall?" Ye Chen was slightly taken aback.
"You don't even know about the Moon Hall?" The attendant was somewhat surprised. Ye Chen smiled wryly and shook his head.
The attendant nodded. "Actually, it's normal that you don't know. The Moon Hall only originated from the rear sections of the Ultimate Ancient Path. Moreover, in recent years, the Ultimate Ancient Path's Guardian and the Soul-Forbidden Hall have been at war, collapsing over a dozen Trial Ancient Passes. This has caused many messages from the rear of the Ancient Path to not be transmitted back, resulting in a lag. It's actually understandable. However, information about the Moon Hall isn't exactly a secret; many Ancient Path Trial-Takers know about it, so telling you is fine. In fact, the Moon Hall is the most powerful force founded by several of the most powerful Female Supremes. It is entrenched in the rear sections of the Ultimate Ancient Path, dominating the myriad heavens."
The attendant slowly explained the various aspects of this mysterious Moon Hall.
The Ultimate Ancient Path had been open for nearly two hundred years. The most outstanding talents, young generation's supremes, and Imperial Sons from various ancient universes had successively embarked on the Ultimate Ancient Path, and they were basically among the earliest batch to set foot on it. As time passed, this batch of people had truly begun to dominate the Ancient Path.
Especially in the rear sections of the Ultimate Ancient Path, several invincible Overlords who looked down upon the Ancient Path had emerged. Each one was a truly invincible existence, their aura and might astonishing the world, powerful beyond description.
Each Overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path had founded their own supreme force. For example, the Heaven's Secret Pavilion was one of them, entrenched on the Ultimate Ancient Path, attracting countless Ancient Path Trial-Takers to join, forming a terrifyingly large force with immense influence.
To counter the monopolistic dominance of these few Ancient Path Overlords, other supreme existences spontaneously formed alliances to resist them. Among them was the Moon Hall.
Compared to other supreme forces, the Moon Hall was special because its founders were five women, all uniformly female young generation's supremes. Each was born with peerless beauty, possessing an immortal aura, yet they were also shockingly powerful, capable of sweeping through the rear sections of the Ultimate Ancient Path. Even those few most terrifying Ancient Path Overlords were extremely wary of them.
There were even rumors that the Goddess, the leader of the five Female Supremes, possessed strength no less than that of an Ancient Path Overlord. She was like a female Emperor reincarnated, looking down upon the Ultimate Ancient Path. She had once slain a true young generation's supreme, slaughtered a Great Power, collapsed star domains, forceful and invincible, truly peerless and unmatched.
Furthermore, there were rumors that this mysterious Goddess had once engaged in a duel with an Ancient Path Overlord in the rear sections, collapsing star domains in all directions. The outcome was unknown, but afterwards, the Goddess was seen retreating unscathed, and that Ancient Path Overlord did not pursue. This thoroughly shook the entire Ultimate Ancient Path.
It was precisely because of this that the existence of the Moon Hall attracted many Ancient Path Trial-Takers to join. It was even rumored that among them were young generation's supremes who joined, admiring the five Female Supremes of the Moon Hall, hoping to become the Dao companion of one of them.
However, it was regrettable that the five Female Supremes had never accepted anyone's pursuit. Even though among the pursuers were not only Imperial Sons, but even an Ancient Path Overlord had publicly expressed hope to choose one as a Dao companion, to jointly seek the invincible Great Dao and become supreme throughout past and present—envied by countless female geniuses across the heavens—they were coldly rejected.
Among them, the Hall Master Yi Wu, hailed as the Divine Maiden, even had a child. It was unknown whether it was a boy or a girl, and the identity of the father was also unknown. But it was rumored that this child possessed astonishing talent. Upon birth, it absorbed the stellar radiance of an entire star domain. Its potential shocked past and present, and it was believed its future achievements might not be inferior to those of an Imperial Son.
Despite this, many female Ancient Path Trial-Takers on the Ultimate Ancient Path greatly admired and revered the five Female Supremes of the Moon Hall. Because of their existence, which focused more on taking in female trial-takers, it allowed women to stand independently under their own sky, fully showcasing this advantage, earning the admiration of numerous Ancient Path Trial-Takers.
"Is that so?"
With a light utterance, Ye Chen felt a myriad of emotions churning within his chest.
After over a hundred years, he had finally learned news of them again. Good, they were all doing well. Now, they had even forged such immense fame in the rear sections of the Ultimate Ancient Path, capable of contending with the most powerful Ancient Path Overlords, and had founded the Moon Hall.
Moon Hall. Moon. Wasn't that his name from his previous life?
So they missed him this deeply, making him feel guilty in his heart, and also giving rise to a powerful impulse. He hoped to rush to the rear sections of the Ultimate Ancient Path immediately to see his wife and child. He wondered whether the child Yi Wu gave birth to was a boy or a girl.
However, he had no preference for sons over daughters. Whether boy or girl, they were his own flesh and blood, and he would fight desperately to protect them.
