Chapter 2810: The Heavenly Path Was A Chess Game?
Many cultivators were cultivating on every layer of all ninety-nine heavens in the Heavenly Imperial Palace. They surrounded the gigantic Divine Mountain and cultivated. Its size was so massive that it spanned across the ninety-nine heavens. Countless cultivators could sense the aura of a Great Emperor from the Divine Power that it emanated.
They did not know that it was the most primordial aura of the Law of the Heavenly Path. Most of them could not grasp the fullness of it with their current cultivation level. But even if they could only gain enlightenment in a small fraction, it could improve their cultivation significantly.
Only those who had survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path were qualified to grasp the Divine Power completely.
Numerous people gathered around the Divine Mountain and had their discussions.
“I’ve heard that the strongest individuals in the Seven Realms have gathered in the ninety-nine heavens. Can anyone confirm this gossip?” someone asked.
“It’s true. Apart from the Six Great Emperors, all of the strongest people in the Seven Realms have already made it here. One of my seniors told me that our ancestor had informed him that the Heavenly Path manifested above the ninety-nine heavens. It’s a sign of the return of a Great Emperor.”
“Heavenly Path?” A person’s heart skipped a beat and questioned, “What is the Heavenly Path?”
“Have you not heard of the Disintegration of the Heavenly Path during the Age of the Gods?”
Similar conversations were held everywhere. The cultivators of the Seven Realms began to hear of this once untold secret. The elites had already known about it since the God’s Ruin first appeared.
However, the change in the Heavenly Imperial Palace caused the secret of the Heavenly Path and some details about the Battle of the Gods to be leaked.
“How many of the elites will become the Great Emperor?”
“Buddha of Destiny had prophesied the emergence of the Age of the Gods in the Gods’ Ruins Continent. Is the prophecy really coming true?”
“If the Buddha of Destiny could look into the future, then the prophecy might become a reality soon. In that case, won’t it mean that Donghuang the Great has less than 30 years left?”
Some of the crowds’ hearts skipped a beat upon hearing that. They could not imagine that Donghuang the Great, who had united and reigned Divine Prefecture for the last 400 plus years, would soon relinquish his Fate of the Emperor.
Could a Great Emperor be toppled?
Two decades was too short of a time. It would pass in the blink of an eye. Could that person be Ye Futian?
If it were Ye Futian, he would highly likely become a Great Emperor. Otherwise, how else could an era be ended?
Ye Futian knew nothing about the people of Outer Realms’ speculations. He was focused on his cultivation at that time. There was a silhouette inside his world. It was formed by the Will of his Micro Heavenly Path. His inner world continued to develop under the influence of the Will. Eventually, several Divine Mountains that spanned across the entire realm materialized. The presence of the Domain of Destruction could be felt all around. While he was grasping the power of the Heavenly Path, he was also perfecting his inner world.
On the outside, the people around him had been improving in their cultivation a lot. Some of them even survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. Still, no one reached the tier of Half-Deity Plane.
Nevertheless, he could feel that West Emperor was about to face his Tribulation. The Divine Power surrounded the latter while rains would fall within the vicinity from time to time. The aura of the Heavenly Path above the sky created a resonance with him. As a former Ancient Emperor, his cultivation level was already sufficient. Therefore, when the Path of the Emperors appeared, ancient cultivators like them would not find it hard to become the Great Emperor.
After all, they were all once the Great Emperors.
Many powerful cultivators surrounded the Divine Mountain and cultivated. Like the Destructive Black Lotus, this Divine Mountain was also a Divine Item. They could help the cultivators gain enlightenment on the Power of the Law of the Great Path.
Even so, no one other than the Ancient Emperors successfully broke through the barrier of the cultivation level. It was not something one could easily attain.
The cultivators in the ninety-nine heavens ignored the changes of the Lower Worlds. Even though people came from different parts of the realms, they paid no heed to any of the crowds. They solely focused on their cultivation.
As time passed, there were two more Ancient Emperors who went through their Tribulation and entered the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane. After such a long time, they could finally revert to their peak form. Yet, they did not become impatient, but they cultivated in solitude.
At that point, Great-Emperor-To-Be Plane was no longer invincible in that world. They had to return to the pinnacle of their strength to regain their true self.
The death of Vajra Realm Great Emperor had taught them a lesson.
Although they were ancient people, the people of the current time could hold a candle to them. The restriction in the world had cut off the Path of the Emperors from the latter. Or else, they would not be in their current state where Great Emperors were in decline.
West Emperor was about to face his Divine Tribulation. The fact of it caused the cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace to jump for joy. After all, he was one of them. After he survived the Tribulation and became a Great-Emperor-To-Be, the overall strength of Ye Imperial Palace would further increase.
Nevertheless, Ye Futian did not pay much attention to it, seeing that the level he aimed for was already beyond the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane.
He did not even go to watch West Emperor’s Tribulation. At the end of the day, that body belonged to Xi Chiyao. Every time he thought of her, he felt sorrowful.
The cultivators of West Imperial Palace had mixed feelings about it. However, the return of a Great Emperor was good news for them. They would have a Great Emperor among their lineup and become an authentic Emperor-Level force. Hence, their lifelong dream would finally come true.
Three years passed in a flash. That day, an intimidating Divine Power emanated from above the sky. Everyone lifted their heads to look at the sky while their hearts palpitated like mad.
“Will another Divine Item manifest itself again?”
“Three years. The gap between the appearance of the Destructive Black Lotus and the Divine Mountain is three years. Now, another three years have passed. Could this be a coincidence or a fixed pattern?” Upon realizing the unique time each of the Divine Item had appeared, they were taken aback.
An unparalleled Divine Light beamed downward from the sky. It was brimmed with a peerless Divine Power of Space.
Following that, the onlookers noticed a Divine Door dropped from the sky with Divine Light encircling it. The door seemed to have existed in another dimension. It was packed with the Divine Power of the Law of Space.
The door continued to descend and stopped above the ninety-nine heavens. The onlooking cultivators’ hearts skipped a beat upon seeing that. Suddenly, a few silhouettes could be seen rushing toward that massive Divine Door. When they stretched their hands to reach the Divine Door, their hands went through it like it was a void.
“I couldn’t touch it.”
“This must be a Spatial Divine Item.” A cultivator of Empty Divine Realm could be seen moving forward. The Door of Space seemed to be in front of them. Yet, they could only see and feel it but not touch it.
“I’m afraid only those who had gained enlightenment on the purest form of the Divine Spatial Rule Power could touch the Door of Space and get the Divine Item for themselves,” the Empty Divine Realm’s cultivator said. “Why do I get the feeling that this Divine Item is prepared for the Empty Divine Realm?”
Such a casual remark caused the hearts of the crowd to race rapidly. After setting their eyes on the Destructive Black Lotus, they thought, If this Door of Space is prepared for Empty Divine Realm, the Destructive Black Lotus must be prepared for Dark World.
What about the Divine Mountain?
“Could it be that all of these are not a coincidence but the will of man?” The hearts of the onlookers pounded like a drum as they glanced at the sky.
If this were a will of man, it would mean that it was the Will of the Heavenly Path?
Who was the embodiment of the Heavenly Path?
They all felt that the Heavenly Path was a chess game where all living things were pawns.
