It must be known that young generation's supremes were the strongest among the younger generation, so rare that even in an Ancient Universe with a complete Heavenly Dao, it was extremely difficult to give birth to such ten-heavenly-level existences. Only the Ultimate Ancient Path, which gathered prodigies from various Ancient Universes, and because of the appearance of the Emperor's Tomb, would so many young generation's supremes appear at the same time.
Eighteen young generation's supremes sat on thrones in the center of the Ten Thousand Saints Hall, facing each other. With their seating, other Ancient Path Trial-Takers dared not make noise, all sitting at other banquet tables, listening to the discussions of the young supremes.
The main purpose of holding this grand gathering in the Ten Thousand Saints Hall this time was also to unite the strength of the various young generation's supremes, and even all Ancient Path Trial-Takers, to discuss and compete for the Immortal Fate within the Emperor's Tomb.
It must be known that this time, so many ultimate powerhouses had come from the depths of the starry sky. The Great Powers and ancestors of various races had appeared one after another. Among them, those sent by the Soul-Forbidden Hall included extraordinary top-tier Great Powers, even stronger than ordinary Great Powers.
The young generation's supremes present were all very powerful, but compared to those top-tier Great Powers, they had little competitiveness. Moreover, some of the terrifyingly powerful race ancestors from the depths of the starry sky were the same. Great Powers gathered like clouds, and some even wielded Monarch Immortal Weapons. The situation was quite severe.
The young generation's supremes could not act separately; otherwise, they would have little competitiveness. That was why they needed to gather and join forces with many Ancient Path Trial-Takers to compete together.
"Everyone, regarding the current situation, I believe you are all very clear. If a month ago we still had the strength to compete against other Great Powers, now it is not possible. Currently, among the Great Powers who have come, many are top-tier Great Powers. Even we, as young generation's supremes, find it difficult to contend against them."
Among them, Beiming Qi, one of the initiators of the gathering, spoke up. He was a young generation's supreme from the Primordial Immortal Realm, of extraordinary origin, accompanied by immortal energy swirling around his body, supremely powerful and invincible. Now he spoke: "For now, we young generation's supremes must cooperate together to compete for the Immortal Fate within the Emperor's Tomb. Otherwise, facing the top-tier Great Powers of various races and those Great Powers from the Soul-Forbidden Hall, our hopes are slim. I believe this is not what any of you wish to see."
The other young generation's supremes all nodded. Their purpose in coming here was naturally to compete for the true Immortal Fate of the Emperor's Tomb. If possible, they even hoped to obtain the Emperor's supreme inheritance or even the supreme Emperor's weapon, allowing them to truly dominate the Ultimate Ancient Path, stride proudly, and proceed to the final checkpoint.
"Since that's the case, let us cooperate," Beiming Qi said. "Let us compete for the Emperor's Tomb's Immortal Fate together."
These words were entirely within expectations. However, Da Mo Gu Tian spoke up: "Cooperation is possible, but how do we cooperate? How do we distribute the Emperor's Tomb's Immortal Fate? You should understand that I cannot simply hand over the Immortal Fate I obtain to others. Rather than that, it would be better not to cooperate."
It must be said, this was a rather realistic problem. Every young generation's supreme was proud. Regarding the distribution of the Emperor's Tomb's Immortal Fate, if one obtained it, who would be willing to take it out and distribute it to others?
"Very simple. Our cooperation is only on the most superficial level. When the time comes, if we jointly charge into the Emperor's Tomb, the final Immortal Fate will be up to individual means. Whoever obtains it keeps it. I believe no one has objections to this point," the fallen angel young generation's supreme said.
"Agree!"
"No objections!"
...
The assembled young generation's supremes all approved this decision. The so-called joint cooperation was merely to unite against other Great Powers, a loose alliance. But once inside the Emperor's Tomb, they could each rely on their own means to compete for the Immortal Fate, remaining independent from each other at that time.
During this period, the various young generation's supremes discussed some other issues one after another. In fact, they all seemed very simple and easy to resolve, but it was necessary to invite each young supreme to discuss together. Otherwise, if expressed in writing rather than through invitation, given the proud nature of the various young supremes, basically no one would be willing to agree.
The other Ancient Path Trial-Takers received some promises. As long as they cooperated with the various young generation's supremes, the supremes would do their best to lead some people into the Emperor's Tomb.
Naturally, no Ancient Path Trial-Taker would refuse this, as it concerned the supreme inheritance of the Emperor's Tomb. It wasn't necessarily the strongest who could obtain it. If one was fortunate enough to be chosen, wouldn't that be like ascending to heaven in a single step?
Although somewhat fanciful, this possibility was not entirely impossible.
Finally, the gathering dispersed. From beginning to end, Ye Chen had basically said very little, appearing quite indifferent. He strode out of the Ten Thousand Saints Hall but did not leave. Instead, he stood in front of the hall, as if waiting for someone.
Not long after, an Immortal Couple appeared. It was precisely Chu Shuangyu and Cloud Heaven Goddess, this pair of young generation's supreme Dao companions appearing together. Wherever they went, they were always together, enviable to all.
"Fellow Daoists."
Ye Chen suddenly called out to stop the Immortal Couple.
"Brother Ye." Chu Shuangyu and Cloud Heaven Goddess, the Dao companion pair, stopped, looking at Ye Chen with slight surprise. Cloud Heaven Goddess lightly parted her red lips, her voice crisp like an oriole: "May I ask what guidance Brother Ye has?"
"Please step aside for a word," Ye Chen said. After obtaining their agreement, they left the Ten Thousand Saints Hall and arrived at a deserted area of void space on the floating continent.
"Brother Ye, dare I ask what matter?" Chu Shuangyu spoke, somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Chen had led them to this deserted void space. Naturally, they were not afraid. Both Dao companions were young generation's supremes, and their combined strength was not simply one plus one; it was enough to have no fear. They were just curious why Ye Chen acted like this.
Seeing this, Ye Chen merely smiled slightly: "By stepping aside like this to speak, I merely wish to inquire about some news regarding the Moon Hall."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the two's expressions slightly tensed, frowning slightly as they looked at Ye Chen, showing some wariness.
"You two, I am from the Sealed Boundary Universe," Ye Chen proactively spoke up and released some of his origin aura, surprising this Immortal Couple.
After all, origin aura could not be imitated; it carried the imprint of one's birth Ancient Universe. They naturally sensed it and soon understood somewhat, then smiled: "So Brother Ye and our Hall Master are young generation's supremes from the same Ancient Universe."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "May I ask, will the Moon Hall's Hall Master come to the Emperor's Tomb this time?"
Although the several Overlords of the Ultimate Ancient Path were greatly restricted and found it difficult to return, after all, they were Ancient Path Overlords with world-shaking methods. It was hard to say they definitely lacked the means to return.
Hadn't Sheng Tian said before the gathering began that an Overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Path would return?
If that were true, could Goddess and Chen'er also return?
This filled him with great anticipation.
