Time is like a torrential flood, surging and relentless, always devouring the years and rings of time when least expected.

It's unknown how much time has passed, but the place where the Four Emperors left their bloody marks has turned into a forbidden area, with a stone hall erected.

The once barren land is now full of vegetation, desolate mountains have turned into green hills, and the sky is filled with some birds and flying creatures, while many fierce beasts can be seen crawling on the earth.

In such an environment, the stone hall stands out prominently, like a pearl in the night, a wilderness amidst the greenery.

This day, several young human adventurers, dressed in luxurious garments, arrived at the most dangerous forbidden land in the Central Domain, known as — the "Four Emperors Forbidden Land."

.....

Leading them was a slightly burly young man in brocade robes, holding a green long sword, clearing the thorns in the road and slaying quite a few fierce beasts along the way.

Following behind him were two young women, one dressed in a yellow long dress, about seventeen years old, with a delicate and clear appearance, crescent eyebrows, and twin ponytails. When she smiled, two dimples appeared, adding a touch of playfulness to her cuteness.

Accompanying the girl in the yellow dress was a woman in plain, clean green clothes, slightly older, around twenty years old. Her skin was like coagulated fat, beautiful eyes like a green lake, with an extraordinary temperament.

Upon closer inspection, the three of them exuded powerful auras, with the woman in green possessing the strongest cultivation level, reaching the terrifying Golden Core Third Layer!

The girl in the yellow dress, curiously surveying her surroundings, had also reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm.

The burly young man leading the way had reached the Golden Core First Realm.

At such a young age, to have achieved such levels of cultivation, it was clear that these three were the top geniuses of this world.

At this moment, the girl in the yellow dress asked the woman in green, "Sister Ye'Er, why is this place called the Four Emperors Forbidden Land?"

It was her first time traveling far, so she was not very familiar with many things in the outside world. This time, she secretly ran out, following her senior brothers and sisters for experience without her master's knowledge.

Upon hearing the question, a look of reminiscence appeared on the face of the woman in green, who murmured, "Actually, I am not very clear either."

"My master told me, his master, that is, my master-grandfather."

"When my master-grandfather and other ancestors came to this continent, the Four Emperors Forbidden Land already existed."

"There are many legends about the Four Emperors Forbidden Land..."

"The most credible saying is that this continent, before they arrived, had experienced a world-shaking battle, resulting in the disappearance of all creatures and turning it into a barren wasteland."

"The Four Emperors Forbidden Land was actually the cave-manor of four powerful emperors."

"There is a legend that those four emperors are still alive and meet in the Four Emperors Forbidden Land once every hundred years."

At this point.

The burly young man leading the way also turned around and added, "Senior Sister Ye is right."

"As long as every hundred years pass, this Four Emperors Forbidden Land will turn into a zone of death, with divine thunder rumbling above the void, and all creatures within the forbidden area will flee."

"The legend is because of the Four Emperors' centennial meeting."

"Once, someone powerful saw from afar that the Four Emperors gathered here from the southeast, northwest directions."

"But, there's no need to worry, Junior Sister Huang. I have already examined the ancient texts before coming here. It's only been fifty years since the last Four Emperors' meeting ended, so for the next fifty years, the Four Emperors Forbidden Land is safe."

Song Zhi'an, to ensure the safety of his junior sister, had consulted a lot of ancient texts related to the Four Emperors Forbidden Land before coming here, to make sure it wasn't dangerous.

...

Huang Yingying nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Why do those four powerful emperors meet every hundred years?"

Actually, this question intrigued not only Huang Yingying but numerous cultivators on this continent as well.

"This... I don't know either."

Although Song Zhi'an had studied many ancient texts, they did not record why the Four Emperors met every century.

At this time, Ye Qingran gently opened her enchanting lips and spoke, "Maybe they are searching for something."

"I once saw in several unofficial histories that there were traces of four supreme beings traveling across the continent, from the distant Bone Nether Sea, the extreme north's Entropy Wilderness, to the extreme south's Dark Origin, all these places have had the presence of supreme beings."

"I suspect that those four supreme beings are the legendary Four Emperors."

Ye Qingran had always been passionate about researching ancient texts and legends since childhood. When she was only seven or eight years old, she would be engrossed in reading strange tales and unusual records.

When she first learned about the legend of the Four Emperors Forbidden Land, she was obsessed for a long time and later consulted many ancient texts.

The more she investigated, the more shocked she became because the legend of the Four Emperors could even be traced back fifty thousand years!

Even when the master-ancestor founded the Dao Ancient Divine Sect, it was only ten thousand years ago.

It's unimaginable how long fifty thousand years is.....

In their fifty-thousand-year search, what are they looking for?

Indeed, Ye Qingran had always wanted to know.

.....

Suddenly, the entire Four Emperors Forbidden Land began to tremble, and a powerful pressure descended.

The three people's expressions changed dramatically.

Song Zhi'an swung his large hand, gripping the sword tightly, and said to the two women, "Go! Let's leave quickly!"

With that said, the three almost hesitated not at all, fleeing towards the outside of the forbidden area.

Unfortunately, they managed to escape only several kilometers when several immensely powerful pressures instantly descended upon the forbidden area.

In the next second, four towering figures appeared above the forbidden area, shrouded in dark clouds and divine thunder, their faces indistinguishable.

Seeing these four figures, the three of them narrowed their pupils sharply, gazing up at the void, their bodies stiff and unable to move.

This... could this be the Four Emperors?!

It seems the legends are true!

But why have they appeared fifty years early?

....

Ye Qingran raised her head, looking at the four figures in the void, feeling somewhat excited.

Have they found what they were seeking?

At this moment, unsure where she found the courage, she asked the four figures, "Respected seniors, may I ask... are you looking for something?"

"If possible, I too can help you search."

Upon these words, the other two were also shocked, looking at Ye Qingran in disbelief.

They never expected Senior Sister Ye would dare speak to the Four Emperors.

In truth, Ye Qingran was also frightened, but her curiosity overcame her reason. It was as if a mystery that had plagued her for many years was right before her eyes, and she wanted to know the truth.

Moreover, if these Four Emperors were indeed searching for something, she could have her master utilize the Dao Ancient Divine Sect's power to help them search.

By doing so, there might even be a chance to win these four supreme beings over to join the Dao Ancient Divine Sect.

After a long time.

The four figures in the void remained unmoved, as if they regarded Ye Qingran and the others as mere ants on the ground, unworthy of speaking with them.

Yet, after a while, an ancient voice came, "No need, it has already been found."

Perhaps moved by Ye Qingran's goodwill, the ancient voice did not trouble them.

At this moment, two powerful figures rushed into the forbidden area, coming to Ye Qingran's side, standing in front of them.

"Master, Master-Grandfather... why are you here?"

Ye Qingran was also filled with astonishment upon seeing them.

She hadn't expected even her master-grandfather, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a thousand years, to come.

At this moment, her master-grandfather did not respond to Ye Qingran's words but rather knelt toward one of the figures in the void and said, "Junior Li Changtan, pays respect to the Ancestor."
