The nine empire monarch progenitors made several attempts, covering most of the Mythical Emperor Domain with their monarch divine sense in a sweeping, thorough investigation. Yet, they repeatedly failed to locate the traces of these sinful beings, returning empty-handed time and again.
This also caused everyone in the Mythical Emperor Domain to grow weary.
After all, these were no ordinary individuals but a group of Divine King powerhouses. Joining forces, they managed to topple an empire like the Xialuo Empire, which spoke volumes.
In the end, the nine Primordial Monarchs seemed to have grown utterly weary, each returning to their respective empires and no longer making appearances.
However, precisely because of the assistance from the nine Primordial Monarchs of the Mythical Emperor Domain, the Xialuo Monarch took advantage of the departure of the various imperial clan and Immortal Clan powerhouses to reclaim the central imperial throne. Moreover, someone secretly intervened, helping him break the Divine King's great seal, allowing him to regain the vast, abyssal faith power once more.
Simultaneously, the several generations of old imperial lords who had left with a group of royal descendants back then had now gradually returned, rebuilding the destroyed imperial capital's royal court.
The path to the reconstruction and revival of the Xialuo royal court was long and arduous.
Yet, as long as the Xialuo Monarch, this monarch progenitor, remained, it signified that everything was intact. He was the sky of the entire Xialuo Empire, the foundation of all.
Not long after, the imperial clan and Immortal Clan Divine Kings from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain appeared in an ancient kingdom named the Shentian Ancient Kingdom, located outside the domains of the ten great empires. They swiftly occupied the royal capital of this ancient kingdom with absolute strength.
This time, however, no empire monarch progenitor appeared to intervene, for they all understood they could not slay these sinful beings from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. It might even backfire, so they had no choice but to relent, tacitly permitting the presence of the imperial clan and Immortal Clan powerhouses from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
From then on, the numerous imperial clans and Immortal Clans of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain also secured a foothold within the Mythical Emperor Domain, forming an alliance organization named the Ten Heavenly Realms Alliance, comprising imperial clans and Immortal Clans, with the Shentian royal capital as their base.
Everything seemed to have come to a temporary conclusion.
After leaving the outskirts of Xialuo's imperial capital, Ye Chen once gazed back from afar. Within the imperial capital, a figure seemingly wreathed in towering purple flames also looked back from a distance, meeting his gaze and giving a slight nod.
Not long after, Ye Chen and his two companions reunited with A Beinu and the others, then appeared in the Senyue Empire, arriving at its imperial capital.
For them, this was undoubtedly quite perilous. Yet, the most dangerous place was often also the safest, as no one would typically imagine anyone daring to openly head to an imperial capital, for Primordial Monarchs were generally stationed there, guarding the central heart of a nation.
The Mythical Emperor Domain possessed the legacies of the various Emperors, but finding them required a method.
At times, Ye Chen would even gaze at the magnificent Heavenly Palaces and divine temples within the imperial capital, suspecting that the ancient Great Emperor's legacies might be within the imperial palaces, or perhaps had already been obtained long ago, which then allowed for the development of vast empires no weaker than the imperial clans or Immortal Clans.
However, he later learned this was not the case; the legacies of the various Emperors were not within the ten great empires.
Simultaneously, the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans began searching for the legacies of the Emperors, naturally accompanied by countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies emerging.
The goal was simple: to seize and obtain the legacies of the ancient Great Emperors, to become legendary figures akin to the master of the Bright Emperor Domain.
Yet, regarding the legacies of the various Emperors, even with countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies from numerous imperial clans, Immortal Clans, royal clans, and others searching, the Mythical Emperor Domain remained like finding a needle in a haystack. They could never truly locate them, the hope slim.
Could it be that the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls had deceived them? Did the Mythical Ruins Land truly not contain the legacies of the various Emperors? Otherwise, after so many tens of thousands of years, they should have been discovered by the ten great empires long ago.
Boom—
Just as everyone was searching aimlessly, suddenly, within the domain of the Yuntian Empire, an extraordinary celestial phenomenon occurred. Accompanied by boundless, resplendent immortal light, a mysterious Heavenly Palace Divine Hall emerged from the earth, capturing everyone's attention.
Was it the legacy of an ancient Great Emperor?
Or perhaps a heaven-defying immortal treasure capable of allowing one to achieve the rank of Primordial Monarch?
Whichever it was, it was enough to stir hearts.
Immediately, countless powerhouses rushed there. Naturally, imperial clans, Immortal Clans, royal clans, and countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain all proactively headed there, descending upon the Yuntian Empire one after another.
The Changyun Mountain Range was located at the edge of the Yuntian Empire's domain, bordering other empires. It had long been a disputed territory among the various empires. Now, with this mysterious Heavenly Palace Divine Hall appearing in this disputed territory, it was undoubtedly eye-catching.
When countless powerhouses arrived at the Changyun Mountain Range, powerhouses from the Yuntian Empire had already appeared, guarding the area. Even a supreme powerhouse at the Divine King realm descended, loudly declaring to others, "This is the territory of the Yuntian Empire. This Heavenly Palace Divine Hall also belongs to our Yuntian Empire. Unrelated individuals are not permitted to enter."
"Hmph, your Yuntian Empire is overstepping. The Changyun Mountain Range does not belong solely to your Yuntian Empire."
On the other side, powerhouses from the Senyue Empire also appeared, similarly accompanied by a Divine King.
"That's right. The Changyun Mountain Range is not part of the Yuntian Empire; it belongs to our Moji Empire."
Simultaneously, the Moji Empire also made an appearance, led by a Divine King. Thus, the Changyun Mountain Range was a central territory among the three empires, a disputed land claimed by all three.
With the three empires in dispute, powerhouses from the other seven great empires also appeared. No one could remain unmoved by the sudden emergence of the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall.
Long before the ten great empires, there were eight other great empires, none weaker than the current ten. Moreover, rumors said that before the Mythical Emperor Domain existed, a world-shaking, terrifying great war had occurred—a war even above the level of Primordial Monarchs, hailed as an Emperor War, where supreme, peerless Emperors or unparalleled immortals perished.
Historically, similar mythical ruins had appeared before. Some had been fortunate enough to obtain legacies, subsequently founding glorious, eternal empires that stood unshaken to this day.
Now, witnessing the emergence of similar mythical ruins, how could they easily yield them to the Yuntian Empire? Everyone wanted a share of the pie.
Subsequently, powerhouses from other major forces within the Mythical Emperor Domain also appeared one after another. Naturally, the imperial clans, Immortal Clans, royal clans, and countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain also emerged. Even imperial clan and Immortal Clan Divine Kings openly appeared, likewise suspecting whether this was the legacy of an ancient Great Emperor or unparalleled immortal.
Regarding the legacies of the ancient Great Emperors, this was precisely their purpose for entering the Mythical Emperor Domain. How could they miss it?
The Changyun Mountain Range consisted of continuous, majestic tall mountains, resembling giant dragons traversing the earth, spanning millions of miles. It was an ancestral vein, containing rich, pure earth spiritual energy.
The Heavenly Palace Divine Hall floated within, shrouded in ethereal mist and drifting rain, radiant with immortal light, exuding an aura of peace and harmony.
Within, numerous powerhouses stood in confrontation. The Divine King from the Yuntian Empire, along with powerhouses from other empires, stood guard, unwilling to yield.
But Divine Kings from the nine empires gradually descended as well, bringing even more powerhouses. Divine Kings from the imperial clans and Immortal Clans of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain also descended. Even a powerhouse like the Yuntian Empire could not contend against nine empires. Moreover, with many powerhouses lurking in the shadows, eyeing covetously, the Yuntian Empire ultimately had no choice but to relent, allowing everyone to enter the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall together.
