Ever since the battle with Hu Luo, after several months of advancing through the Void River, Li Yuan had not encountered any Ancient Spirits attempting to intercept him, almost making him forget his tendency to attract the devouring desires of Ancient Spirits.
"The lack of encounters with Ancient Spirits is likely due to the Heart Dream God Emperor's covert assistance," Li Yuan mused to himself. "It may well be that an Ancient Spirit Dominator or even a Supreme Ancient Spirit issued an order."
Having numerous Ancient Spirits along the way almost 'disappear' surely means that a highly prominent Black Ancient Spirit has given the corresponding command.
Otherwise, not even a Supreme among Cosmic Cultivators could command so many Ancient Spirits.
As for how the Heart Dream God Emperor managed it, Li Yuan did not concern himself.
