Chapter 2825: Ambition
Above the heavenly palace in the ninety-nine heavens, Ji Wudao bathed under the divine light. The Nine Dragons True Qi had already entered his body and seemed to meld into his Path. His entire body grew more dazzling, and he hovered above the heaven palace like the lord of this world.
He was a Heavenly Emperor and could help the Heavenly Path manage the world order.
Ji Wudao opened his eyes and gazed at the people cultivating in the ninety-nine heavens. “More than 20 years have passed,” he stated. “The Heavenly Path from the ninety-nine heavens of the Heaven Realm Heavenly Emperor Palace bestowed divine gifts for the world to cultivate with. You all have cultivated for more than 20 years here as well. Now, is it time for you to leave?”
His voice filled the ninety-nine heavens. Countless people opened their eyes and looked up at Ji Wudao. They saw that, at this moment, Ji Wudao already had the appearance of a Heavenly Emperor. He was unparalleled and high and mighty, looming above all life.
Ji Wudao had given the order of expulsion, making everyone leave.
However, the complete Heavenly Path order was here. This was an Emperor Path Opportunity where cultivators could reach enlightenment. Who would want to miss this chance? Who was willing to leave?
Plus, the divine item from the Heavenly Path was here. Who could bear to leave?
“Ji Wudao, this place has the Emperor Path Opportunity. People of all seven realms have gathered here. Plus, a divine item has descended from the Heavenly Path. The Heavenly Path here has a consciousness. Since it’s willing to drop down an opportunity, it’s naturally giving all cultivators a chance. Everyone can cultivate here.” The voice that spoke up actually belonged to Di Hao of the Human Realm. Divine light wrapped around his body. He was also in the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane.
Actually, Di Hao and Ji Wudao were the same. He had already entered the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane before coming here. The Human Ancestor should have found a Path of the Emperors in the Human Realm and invited cultivators of every realm there.
However, this was incomparable to the Heavenly Path here.
Ji Wudao’s eyes scanned Di Hao, and he said, “As expected, people are never satisfied. Do not forget where you are standing right now. This is the ninety-nine heavens of my Heaven Realm.”
“So what?” a Great Emperor-To-Be Plane from the Dark World said indifferently. “Strong cultivators from every realm are gathered here. Is the Heavenly Imperial Palace going to drive us out?”
Right now, strong cultivators from all the top forces were there. No matter how strong Ji Wudao was, would he be able to force everyone to leave?
If this led to backlash, it wasn’t certain who would defeat whom.
Hearing the other’s words, Ji Wudao’s gaze turned toward the Great Emperor-To-Be and suddenly smiled. It looked a little sarcastic.
His body continued upward, and Ji Wudao was floating above the peak of the heavenly palace, standing at the dome of the sky. Divine light showered down from the dome of the sky, bathing him in the radiance. Like a Heavenly Emperor, he stated loudly, “Do you know who is the Heavenly Path?”
When everyone heard Ji Wudao’s words, their pupils constricted. This was a question that they’d been asking.
Everyone knew that this Heavenly Path had a consciousness, but who exactly was the Heavenly Path?
Was it the remnants of consciousness from the ancient Heavenly Path or the ancestor of today’s world? Since it appeared here, it was most likely the latter. But in that case, whose side would the Heavenly Path be on?
Since the Heavenly Path could bestow divine items for them to cultivate with, it naturally could also send down destructive power to kill them all and turn this place into Armageddon.
“Who is the Heavenly Path?” someone asked. Countless people looked up to the sky. Everyone wanted to know the answer.
Who was in charge of the world order right now?
Ji Wudao did not answer the question. His eyes looked down, and his gaze penetrated the ninety-nine heavens. At that moment, all cultivators in the ninety-nine heavens could see the supreme figure at the top of the heavens.
The same thought appeared in their minds—the Heavenly Emperor was about to return. The age that belonged to the Heaven Realm was also about to return.
“Of course. Suppose you are willing to cultivate in the Heavenly Imperial Palace and become a member of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. In that case, you can naturally remain in the ninety-nine heavens and study the Heavenly Path,” Ji Wudao announced, his voice shaking the ninety-nine heavens. “The Heavenly Imperial Palace has stayed hidden for many years. Now, we are officially recruiting cultivators to join the Heavenly Imperial Palace. However, I must remind everyone. Any cultivators who join the Heavenly Imperial Palace must be governed by our rules and obey the orders of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. Those who only wish to enjoy the cultivation resources but aren’t willing to follow orders, I must remind them, traitors or rebels will be punished by the laws of the Heaven Realm.”
While Ji Wudao spoke, a line of strong cultivators appeared behind him, hovering in the air. They were all strong cultivators of the Heaven Realm. Other than the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty, Four Heavenly Kings, and the Nine Star Lords that the world had already seen before, there were many other strong figures. This included some strong figures with extremely high statuses and Great Emperor-To-Bes. They were above the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty.
Just as Ji Wudao had said, the Heaven Realm had been a weak force for the past years. They had practically isolated themselves from the world to cultivate and rarely showed themselves in the world. They cared even less about the matters of the seven realms and focused on cultivating.
This low cover has lasted for a few centuries until today. The Heavenly Path appeared in the Heavenly Imperial Palace, bestowing an opportunity and giving divine items. Ji Wudao entered the Great Emperor-To-Be Plane. He was about to enter the Great Emperor Plane and become a Heavenly Emperor.
The Heaven Realm was finally coming back to compete with the seven realms to become the domineering lord.
In much of history, the Heaven Realm had always been the top realm of the world, standing at the peak of the heavens.
Ji Wudao was determined to recover the glory of the Heaven Realm. He would enter the Great Emperor Plane, become the Heavenly Emperor, lead the Heaven Realm toward a new golden age, and manage the world order for the Heavenly Path.
The seven realms—including the Original Realm—would have to obey the Heaven Realm’s orders.
Now, the first thing that the Heavenly Imperial Palace had to do was expand its numbers and attract cultivators of the world to join the Heavenly Imperial Palace. He believed that with the existence of the Heavenly Path, paired with the divine item, countless people would be willing to join the Heavenly Imperial Palace.
He was not worried about traitors either. He was already a Great Emperor-To Be and would soon step into the position of Heavenly Emperor. Starting the moment of his official enthronement, those who followed him would thrive, those who went against would die, and those who dared to betray him would be killed with no exceptions!
In the ninety-nine heavens, countless people looked up to Ji Wudao. A new age was about to arrive. Would the start of the Age of Gods be accompanied by the renaissance of the Heaven Realm?
How could the Age of Gods not have the Heaven Realm’s Heavenly Imperial Palace?
Ji Wudao’s ambition was finally exposed.
“How can we join the Heavenly Imperial Palace?” an elder asked. After that, many people in the ninety-nine heavens spoke one after another. They all cultivated in different realms, but many people were not directly under the rule of those emperor-level forces. They were able to determine their fate.
Now, the rise of the Heaven Realm was unstoppable. Since Ji Wudao did not care about the Six Emperors and had the Heavenly Path as his background, people naturally did not mind joining the Heavenly Imperial Palace to cultivate.
They already saw the future of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. Its rise was imperative.
Ye Futian also looked up at Ji Wudao. This person was also a genius and an extraordinary talent. He had kept low for many years, hiding his ambition, but today, he could no longer hide it. Perhaps, he did not need to hide it anymore!
