Chapter 465: Return of the Ye Clan

Ye Clan Ancestral Land, Supreme Heavenly Emperor Star Domain.

It is a vast, boundless star domain, filled with ancient and glorious aura.

Today, at the outer rim of this region, a vast, majestic, invincible aura—tempered by years of iron‑blood campaigns—spreads from the center of the formation like a tide, instantly startling the Ye Clan strongmen stationed here and countless clan members on nearby stars.

"This aura... it's the Young Master! It's the return of Young Master Wuque!"

A Ye Clan guard tasked with defending the ancient array sprang to his feet, excitement on his face; clad in Star Battle Armor, his aura was heavy, clearly a strongman who had entered the Half‑Decay Realm.

He quickly cast several incantations, fully activating the ancient array's reception function, and simultaneously used Divine Sense to relay the news instantly back to the core of the Ancestral Land.

The silver light faded, and a tall, slender figure with black hair draped over his shoulders, clad in a black robe, stepped out from the center of the formation. It was Ye Wuque, returned from the Ultimate Main Road!

He did not deliberately emit aura, yet after the blood‑soaked battle on Tongtian Peak, the enlightenment in Chaos Sea, and even witnessing Tai Chu slay the Quasi‑Supreme, his very demeanor has undergone a profound transformation.

His eyes flickered open and closed, as if a vortex of space‑time rose and fell within, calm yet containing Great Power capable of subduing the heavens.

A faint golden immortal sheen subtly flowed beneath his skin, the external manifestation of Pure Yang Blood Qi and the Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body reaching a deeper realm.

Simply standing there, he seemed to resonate with this vast Supreme Heavenly Emperor Star Domain, drawing the surrounding stellar brilliance to swirl of its own accord, the Dao Rhythm harmonizing with it.

"Welcome back, Young Master, to the clan!"

The stationed guard was the first to bow and salute, his voice resonant, bearing heartfelt respect and pride.

Behind him, dozens of elite Ye Clan warriors knelt on one knee in unison, the crisp clang of armor echoing, all shouting, "Welcome, Young Master!"

The wave of sound traveled far, and on several nearby resource stars, countless Ye Clan disciples who were cultivating, laboring, or sparring were startled, their Divine Senses and gazes projecting toward him.

"It's Young Master Wuque! He really has returned!"

"Zhutian! The Young Master's aura... feels more than ten times stronger than when he left! Unfathomable!"

"Look! The surrounding stellar brilliance is automatically converging on him! This is a symbol of ultimate might!"

"I heard the Young Master slashed through those monsters on the Other Shore along the Ultimate Main Road, even the one called Ye Junlin was subdued! For our Ye Clan, no, for all Nine Zhutian Ten Earths, he earned supreme glory!"

Voices of discussion, amazement, and worshipful cheers rippled outward, spreading rapidly through the star domain.

Ye Wuque's brilliant feats on the Ultimate Main Road have long been reported back to the clan by various channels; every Ye Clan member shares in the honor, seeing him as the most radiant banner and pride of the clan today!

Ye Wuque gave a slight nod to the stationed elders and guards, a reciprocal gesture, and did not linger.

A thought stirred within him, and a golden auspicious cloud, wholly formed from pure stellar energy and Dao Rhythm, rose beneath his feet, bearing him, transforming into a gentle yet swift golden arc that flew toward the core of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor Star Domain.

Where he passed, countless Ye Clan disciples burst from Dongfu, pavilions, and the Great Battlefield, hovering in the starry sky or atop mountains, casting reverent, fervent gazes at the golden arc; many youths flushed red with excitement, waving and shouting desperately.

"Young Master is invincible!"

"Welcome the Young Master's triumphant return!"

"Ye Clan shall prosper! Young Master invincible!!"

The waves of sound rose higher and higher, merging into a boiling sea.

Ye Wuque's return seemed to inject a dose of vigor into the entire Ye Clan, its fortunes lifting a few notches.

The golden arc moved at extreme speed, crossing endless distance in an instant, arriving at the star domain's center, hovering over a towering complex shrouded by countless chaotic celestial lights and ancient Emperor Arrays.

Here, palaces stretched endlessly, divine halls rose in profusion, a myriad of scenes; at the core stood a majestic purple‑gold Great Hall, the power hub of the Ye Clan... the Clan Leader's Great Hall.

At this moment, the vast plaza before the Great Hall had already gathered many people.

At the head stood the contemporary Clan Leader of the Ye Clan, Ye Jinghong!

Ye Jinghong wore a purple imperial robe embroidered with sun, moon, stars, and landscapes, a flat‑heaven crown upon his head; his expression bore regal authority without anger, his bearing dignified and noble, with imperial Dao dragon energy coiling around him, exuding a terrifying aura as deep as the sea, seemingly capable of bearing the heavens and the universe.

He stood there as if he were the very center of the star domain, a single word from him could shape the cosmos.

His cultivation had clearly reached the deep layers of the Origin Dao Realm, making him one of the renowned giants of the Nine Zhutian Ten Earths!

Beside Ye Jinghong stood several figures whose auras were equally ancient and powerful, all Core Elders of the Ye Clan.

Among them was the Seventh Elder who had taken special care of Ye Wuque... Ye Huanyu.

Further back were dozens of the most outstanding contemporary Core Heavenly Prides of the Ye Clan, both male and female, each radiant and bearing extraordinary aura; even among outsiders they would be considered heroes, yet now they stood respectfully upright, gazes blazing toward the heavens.

When the golden arc formed by Ye Wuque landed on the plaza and his figure became visible, Ye Jinghong's stern face instantly blossomed into an unabashed smile of satisfaction and pride, and he strode forward.

"Wuque! Hahaha! You finally returned!"

The hearty laughter shook the hall, filled with sincere joy.

Ye Jinghong examined Ye Wuque from head to toe, his admiration growing: "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Qi is complete, divine brilliance restrained, Dao Foundation solid and mighty—truly unprecedented! It seems your journey on the Ultimate Main Road yielded gains far beyond our expectations!"

Seventh Elder Ye Huanyu also twirled his mustache and smiled, his eyes full of affection: "Wuque, your deeds on the Ancient Path have already spread across the heavens and back to our clan. You subdued the first of the Other Shore, Ye Junlin, sweeping away countless foes, raising the might of our Nine Zhutian, and glorifying the Ye Clan! Listening to this makes my blood boil with pride!"

The other elders also spoke in turn, their tones filled with admiration and affirmation.

"The Young Master's heavenly talent pushes the age forward; truly a blessing for our Ye Clan!"

"The Six Great Extreme Realms astonish the world, unprecedented in history! The Young Master's path has limitless prospects!"

"After this battle, our Ye Clan's prestige will surely ascend another level!"

The Core Heavenly Prides behind them were even more ecstatic.

Many among them had once fought side by side with Ye Wuque or crossed paths; now, seeing his safe return and his unfathomable aura, they felt both pride and a fierce urge to catch up.

Some young female Heavenly Prides, their beautiful eyes sparkling, showed unabashed admiration.

A charismatic handsome youth stepped forward first; his name is Ye Qingtian, a prodigious talent among the Ye Clan's younger generation, who had some encounters with Ye Wuque.

He clasped his fists toward Ye Wuque and declared loudly, "Welcome the Young Master's triumphant return! On the Main Road you slashed demons, raised your name across the universe, earning supreme glory for our Ye Clan; Ye Qingtian holds you in utmost respect and admiration!"

"Welcome the Young Master's triumphant return!"

"May we see the Young Master!"

The other Heavenly Pride also performed the salute together, their voices even and unified, brimming with respect and fervor.
