The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2802 Path of the Emperors?

After Ye Futian returned to Ye Imperial Palace, he continued cultivating in retreat. He had only managed to destroy the Vajra Region out of the five Ancient God Clans on this outing. For now, he was unable to extinguish the other four Ancient God Clans like he wanted to. However, once he was able to step onto the Path of Emperors, it would only be a matter of time before he got rid of them.

The evolution of the world inside his body was far from completion. In addition, the elemental powers that he created were also in their most rudimentary form, which meant that his strength had not yet reached its peak. He could combine the elemental powers to create an even stronger rule power, which the outside world called divine power.

Still, no one disturbed Ye Futian’s cultivation. Everyone in Ye Imperial Palace knew that Ye Futian was at a crucial point at this very moment.

Soon after, news spread from the Divine Prefecture to the Continent of Ruins and eventually made its way inside Ye Imperial Palace. The news was that Ye Futian had slayed the Great Emperor of the Vajra Region and destroyed the Vajra Region singlehandedly. He had even gone to Haotian Clan for the express purpose of erasing the Haotian Clan’s base. It was only when he battled the four ancient emperors that Donghuang Imperial Palace intervened, and Ye Futian was forced to back off.

After the news of this battle came out, countless cultivators on God’s Continent were shocked beyond words. Could Ye Futian already have the ability to kill someone like the ancient emperors?

Although those great emperors had not yet returned to their former glory, they were, after all, great emperors themselves once. Had Ye Futian crossed the divine realm in that battle and broke the shackles? Had he already embarked on the Path of Emperors?

There was news from the Divine Prefecture that today’s Ye Futian was akin to a Great Emperor himself. Like a deity, his eyes could be turned into the sun and the moon, and his mouth could spit out thunders. One step of his foot was like a mountain that came down for the kill, and his skin was as indestructible as stars and rocks. His physical body had been enlightened and became a veritable divine body. Even the powerful Great Emperors from ancient times could not sack their defenses.

After the news spread, there were many more exaggerated rumors. It was said that Ye Futian now had three heads and six arms, and he was already on the Path of the Emperors and would soon become an emperor himself.

The cultivators of Ye Imperial Palace were a little speechless regarding these rumors that began circling, but they were also full of expectations for Ye Futian. He had gone to kill the Great Emperor of the Vajra Region by himself in the Divine Prefecture. Just where in his cultivation had he progressed to now?

Everyone was looking forward to when Ye Futian would come out of retreat again.

How far was he from becoming a Great Emperor?

No one disturbed Ye Futian’s cultivation, and the people in Ye Imperial Palace were also working very hard. None of them wanted to fall too far behind. One after another, more and more cultivators began to emerge.

However, Ye Futian was unaware of all the changes that took place in the outside world but continued to immerse himself in his cultivation.

In the inner world of his body, it no longer resembled an inner space but looked more like a real world. In addition to the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, there were also mountains, rivers, and lush vegetation.

There was only one figure in this world, and it was Ye Futian. This was not Ye Futian himself, but the will born out of this world, representing the will of this space.

He stood high above the sky, looking at the entire world that was constantly in the process of being created.

“When the sun and the moon rotate, there are rotations between life and death,” Ye Futian muttered to himself. Hence, the living things born in this world began to experience the cycle of life and death and gradually developed their own rules of survival, which allowed life to flourish, as well as to wither and die.

His body flew high in the void and came to a corner of his own world, which was still relatively barren. Ye Futian looked at all this and then looked at the sky above. This one glance had taken a long time, gone through many rotations of the moon and the sun.

“The rotation of the sun and the moon, the alternation of life and death, creation and destruction means that everything in the world had two polarities accompany each other,” Ye Futian secretly said in his heart. As he observed and comprehended this world. After many days, currents of destruction began manifesting in this empty space. A sea appeared in the area below, which contained various storms of destruction to symbolize death and destruction.

“Even the flames are more than just one kind of flame; there is Yang, the most aggressive divine solar fire, and there is also the Yin fire,” Ye Futian said to himself again. He was bringing all of his perceptions of the world to this space to start a creation that would give birth to the rules power of this world and perfect them.

After a long time, Ye Futian created many elemental rules. He returned to the void, sat cross-legged, and fell into deep meditation.

If he was creating the world, what was the meaning of the Heavenly Path back then? What did the Eight Legions under the Heavenly Path represent? They were in charge of the world’s order on behalf of the Heavenly Path. Was the power they controlled given by the Heavenly Path as well?

With a thought, Ye Futian appeared in the area below, leaning on a tree. This towering tree seemed to be morphed by the ancient tree of the world, and it was a part of this world.

Ye Futian leaned against the tree and looked up into the sky, watching the sun and the moon rising and setting, and the days passed. Here, it seemed that there was no such concept as time.

The sun and the moon turn into a day. The time I experienced here is the same as the one on the outside. Since this is the world of my own making, does it mean that I can change the movement of time as well? Ye Futian thought. It was an incredibly bold idea.

Time itself was no more than an arbitrary construct. Did it exist in absolute terms?

But if one were to try to make the time different from it, perhaps it would still be rather challenging.

Ye Futian just sat there like that, day after day, watching the alternation between the sun and the moon.

There was no time limitation in cultivation, and Ye Futian had cultivated to yet another level. Time passed incredibly fast for him, and the outside world was changing every day. There were more and more cultivators who emerged daily.

And recently, terribly shocking news had been going around, spreading to every corner of the world. People in Ye Imperial Palace had gotten the news as well. At this moment, many of them had gathered together to discuss whether or not to interrupt Ye Futian’s cultivation.

“Let the madam decide,” Lord Chen proposed as he looked at Hua Jieyu, who was coming over this way. It was better to ask Hua Jieyu to decide.

“I’ll go tell him,” Hua Jieyu responded. This is not a trivial matter; it was best to let Ye Futian know.

“Mmm,” everyone nodded. Then Hua Jieyu came to Ye Futian’s place of cultivation and walked not far from him.

Behind her, the Little Condor had delivered a message to Ye Futian. Suddenly, Ye Futian opened his eyes, looked towards Hua Jieyu, and smiled softly. “Jieyu.”

Hua Jieyu walked over next to Ye Futian and sat down, saying, “A lot has happened in the outside world these past few years. You have been cultivating without interruption, but there is some news not long ago that may cause many people in the imperial palace to want to go out and investigate for themselves.”

Ye Futian was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. He was not worried about someone eavesdropping on their conversations.

“What’s going on?” Ye Futian asked.

“It is rumored that in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, the Path of the Emperors had appeared, and the cultivators from everywhere have rushed over to check it out,” said Hua Jieyu. Ye Futian understood. Did the Path of the Emperors appear?

If so, it was expected for the cultivators from Ye Imperial Palace to want to go there themselves.

Heavenly Emperor Realm, a world in decline, was once a prosperous domain in the past. Now, the Path of the Emperors had shown itself!
