Ancient Path Overlords were truly supreme and peerless existences who had journeyed far enough along the Ultimate Ancient Path, nearly reaching the final checkpoint. Their return now would absolutely grant them the opportunity to contend with the various Great Powers for the emperor tomb's immortal fate.
However, such existences faced immense restrictions when attempting to return. Because they were too powerful, the Guardians of the Ultimate Ancient Path would deem that their return would exert a tremendous influence on other trial-takers on the Ancient Path, establishing an insurmountable presence that could shatter the Dao hearts of many trial-takers and affect the development of the entire Ultimate Ancient Path. Therefore, it was likely difficult for them to return.
Although they were immensely powerful, if they broke the rules, not only would the Guardian Great Powers act, but even ancient beings at the level of Ancient Monarchs who guarded the ages would intervene. Precisely because of this, quite a few trial-takers on the Ancient Path believed the return of Ancient Path Overlords would mostly be unsuccessful, unless they were powerful enough to contend with Ancient Monarchs.
But if such an existence appeared, they would have essentially completely dominated the entire Ultimate Ancient Path, standing alone as the supreme ruler. How could they tolerate the current situation where numerous heroes stood side by side and Supremes confronted each other?
That being said, who could guarantee that such supreme and invincible overlords definitely had no means to return?
Even Imperial Sons might return. The strength of Imperial Sons might not be inferior to that of Ancient Path Overlords. Over the years, the Imperial Sons from various ancient universes had actually rarely clashed on the Ancient Path. Each inherited the most powerful imperial bloodline power, shining brilliantly across the heavens, and all appeared very mysterious, seldom contending with others.
They all seemed to have embarked on another mysterious ancient path for training, rarely appearing in the mortal world in recent years.
Rumor had it that deep within the Ultimate Ancient Path, there was a mysterious ancient path specifically opened for Imperial Sons to undergo trials. In the later stages, all Imperial Sons would successively step onto that mysterious ancient path and disappear from the mortal world. However, this time, due to the emperor tomb, their traces might appear.
Moreover, although Imperial Sons rarely appeared, no one dared to deny their strength. Even the several Supreme Overlords currently dominating the Ultimate Ancient Path did not. The world had heard that they had also taken some young Supremes under their command, but no one had truly taken an Imperial Son under their wing, which spoke volumes.
Imperial Sons were transcendent and absolutely powerful. Even Supreme Overlords dared not overlook them. It was just that these Imperial Sons maintained a low profile, which was why they did not possess the resounding fame of these overlords.
As time passed, more and more experts arrived from all corners of the universe, all staying on the Floating Continent outside the Primordial Continent. This was a unanimous decision, fearing that the appearance of numerous powerful beings might cause the Abyss Chasm to reappear, resulting in devastating blows.
And they had all discovered a pattern: every ten days, the Abyss Chasm would tear open once, with star rivers rising and falling and Yin soldiers appearing.
However, as long as they were not on the Primordial Continent, the terrifying beings and Yin soldier armies from the Abyss Chasm would not charge towards the Floating Continent to attack them. Everything remained peaceful.
Boom— Boom—
Boom— ......
In the Star Sky, streaks of flowing light rapidly appeared, piercing through the vast sky before landing on the Primordial Continent.
These were powerful experts from various races who had come from all over the Star Sky, not lacking ancient Great Powers from various clans. Each exuded overwhelming auras, like immortal deities, crowned with immortal divine halos, each appearing terrifying, accompanied by astonishing phenomena that demanded reverence from all directions.
Naturally, quite a few Guardian Great Powers from the Ultimate Ancient Path had also arrived, and other young Supremes had appeared one after another. Numerous powerful beings gathered, making everything appear so formidable.
During this period, Ye Chen had been waiting all along, hoping that Chen'er and the others would also appear so they could reunite here.
Unfortunately, over half a month had passed, and he had not heard any news about them. They had not appeared, which left him somewhat disappointed and helpless.
However, on this very day, he received a useful piece of news: the Moon Hall had sent experts!
The Moon Hall was precisely the faction founded by the five women: Goddess, Chen'er, Yi Wu, Ya Ya, and Ruo Xi. It dominated the Ultimate Ancient Path, the strongest force that even Ancient Path Overlords could do nothing about, truly gathering powerful experts with numerous masters under its command, not lacking genuine young Supremes.
Naturally, young Supremes were the pinnacle experts on the Ultimate Ancient Path and would not easily join any faction. Among them, several had joined the Moon Hall either because they were female supremes themselves or because they admired the five female Hall Masters.
Upon learning this news, Ye Chen immediately rushed over.
The Floating Continent, due to the arrival of various factions during this period, had long been divided into various areas specifically for these factions to settle and station themselves. Naturally, given the Moon Hall's influence, it also qualified for a territory, and this area was not small.
It must be known that the five female supremes of the Moon Hall had long roamed the Ultimate Ancient Path for many years. Each was not inferior to a true ancient Great Power, especially the leading Goddess Zhao Jingruo, who could contend with Ancient Path Overlords, having slain true ancient Great Powers—more than one. She possessed boundless prestige deep in the Star Sky. Even the various Great Power ancestors from the races across the Star Sky dared not easily offend the Moon Hall; instead, they harbored intentions to befriend it.
When Ye Chen arrived, he saw an extraordinarily majestic treasure hall suspended in the air, resplendent and magnificent. On its plaque, there were two characters clearly written: "Moon Hall."
The Moon Hall?
Ye Chen stood beneath the Moon Hall, gazing at the hall founded by his wife, daughter, and sister—the five of them—right before his eyes. Although it was only a branch hall, he could not help but feel emotional and sigh.
After all, all this seemed to have undergone immense changes over who knew how many years.
Clearly, the Moon Hall was truly powerful. Its gates were wide open, with experts constantly coming to visit, especially trial-takers from the Ancient Path being the most numerous. Although the Moon Hall dominated the Ultimate Ancient Path, it had the most female cultivators, basically all stunningly beautiful women, admired by many trial-takers on the Ancient Path.
Ye Chen very much wanted to step inside, but in the end, he stopped short. The people he was waiting for were not inside, and it was not yet suitable for him to expose himself too early.
Because behind the Ultimate Ancient Path, that Chaos Deity who dominated the Ultimate Ancient Path was also a chaos cultivator, constantly coveting his Chaos Origin. For now, Ye Chen could not truly contend with him; the gap was too great. At the very least, he needed to break into the Great Power realm, fully achieving the peerless and unrivaled Chaos Great Power. Only upon reaching that step would he have the qualification to truly contend.
It was not that he lacked the qualification to contend; he merely lacked time for now.
Soon, he returned to his own residence, which also had a mansion. Because not long ago, he had single-handedly slain the great ferocious being from the Diamond Ape Clan that emerged from the star river, and due to his identity as a young Supreme—though mysterious—not many dared to disturb him, making him appear relatively transcendent.
