The ninety-nine heavens of the Heaven Realm had become a small independent world.

At the peak of the Heavenly Palace, Ye Futian sat cross-legged as he cultivated with his eyes closed. His figure was bathed in divine halos, and he shone together with the sun and the moon. It was no longer an ordinary body of flesh; his body was Way.

Ye Futian’s world of the Micro Heavenly Path had evolved and reached perfection. It was an independent cosmos that was functioning orderly. It had countless planets and stars with continents of their own. It was a different space. Everything inside was no different from the real world.

The only difference was that there were very few people in this universe. Many continents had only one person on them.

Each person controlled an entire continent. They were the gods of said continents.

For instance, Fang Cun was on a continent right now. His planet was filled with the Divine Force of Space. It was as though the entire continent was formed from it. Fang Cun cultivated here alone and comprehended the Law of Space.

Fang Cun was now cultivating very diligently. He knew his place. The heavens and earth were about to change. In the not too distant future, he would be fighting for his master. Now that his master was the current Heavenly Emperor, as his disciple, he could not bring dishonor to his master’s image.

The four disciples of Ye Futian each controlled a world of their own. Each world had a different divine power. Who among them would cultivate the fastest and become the strongest in the future?

Fang Cun was clear about one thing—his master had established the Heavenly Path and was the ruler of this universe. That meant that in the future, they would be gods who ruled over the various laws. The continent he was on was the continent of a god. No matter what, he had to cultivate diligently and become a powerful Tianshen of this future universe. That way, he would not tarnish the reputation of being a direct disciple of the creator god.

It was not just Fang Cun. Gu Dongliu, Ye Wuchen, Hua Jieyu, Blind Tie, Lord Chen, Chen Yi, Emperor Xi, Hua Qingqing, Yaya, and the others all had their own worlds of divine power. Ye Futian directly filled them with the divine power of law, creating the best cultivation conditions for each of them.

Right then, Xia Qingyuan was also cultivating on a continent on her own. Here, there was a tribulation of life and death and the divine power of swordsmanship. Xia Qingyuan was bathed in this power and cultivated quietly.

Their cultivation environments made those who came later, including the many cultivators of the Heaven Realm, envious. Very few people had the chance to personally receive Ye Futian’s divine power of law to aid them in their cultivation.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Imperial Palace of the Heaven Realm knew that the Heavenly Emperor had established a universe. If they emerged victorious in this final battle and Ye Futian ruled the entire world in the future, his descendants would be gods, just like the Eight Legions were beneath the previous Heavenly Path.

An ethereal figure was fading in and out of existence deep within the universe. The space itself seemed ethereal. Ye Futian’s figure appeared here. He could sense all the changes in this universe and the cultivation status of everyone.

These past few years, he had done many things and improved the abilities of everyone around him. He had given Yu Sheng and Qingyao treasures of time and space. This was also to prepare them for the upcoming battle. This way, they could scramble for even more time.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t make it in time.

Now, the world of the Micro Heavenly Path was reaching stability. The law of time was also stable. A day in the outside world was equivalent to 81 days here.

Hence, they needed to make the most of this time. A year in the outside world was 81 years here. They had 81 years to cultivate and catch up. With his targeted training, this world of the Micro Heavenly Path would produce another group of Great Emperors.

Right then, Ye Futian, who was cultivating in the Heavenly Palace, opened his eyes. He looked in front of him.

“Father,” Ye Futian greeted. Donghuang the Great approached him, seemingly looking to discuss some matters.

Donghuang the Great’s expression was serious as he said to Ye Futian, “The result of the investigation is out. They are not cultivators from this universe. There are quite a number of Great Emperors in their lineup. All of them are from other universes.”

“Other universes really do exist,” Ye Futian exclaimed. Even though he had vaguely speculated this from his previous conversation with Donghuang the Great, he was still taken aback by this discovery. They were not the only ones in this cosmos.

Donghuang the Great nodded his head and explained, “According to my intel, the location of our universe was exposed. Previously, when the Heavenly Path collapsed, most cultivators had perished. A number of them still exist among us in other forms. However, there were also a group of cultivators who left this universe. An example is Huatian the Great. He might have escaped to other universes, and now he found his way back to this universe. Some other ancient Emperors might gradually make their return here too.”

Ye Futian mumbled, “If those ancient Emperors went to other universes instead of perishing, they are most likely even stronger now.”

Donghuang the Great continued, “Currently, we have no means to figure out how powerful the cultivators from other universes are. We don’t even know how they cultivate. However, the end goal of our cultivation should all be the same. We can only wait and see now.”

Ye Futian nodded his head in agreement. The most important thing was to improve their abilities. Instead of panicking, they would cross the bridge when they came to it.

“What exactly is the end goal of cultivation?” Ye Futian mumbled. “Is it to rule over the Heavenly Path?”

“You might need to go seek answers. Currently, you are the person who is closest to the Heavenly Path,” Donghuang the Great said to Ye Futian. Ye Futian established the Micro Heavenly Path after merging the Heavenly Path World she left behind. Therefore, in a sense, Ye Futian was the person closest to it.

“Hmm.” Ye Futian nodded. He then asked, “Father, how is the situation in the outside world now? Are there any abnormal movements in the Human Realm?”

“Nope.” Donghuang the Great shook his head and said, “All is quiet. Perhaps this is the calm before the storm. Last time, the Human Ancestor assigned nine Great Emperors to attack us. One of them was even a Divine Great Emperor. The Human Ancestor didn’t even bat an eyelid when sacrificing a cultivator at that level; we can imagine the kind of manpower he possesses based on this. After his failure last time, his next attack will most likely be even more astonishing.”

Donghuang the Great added, “Of course, it might be that the Human Ancestor himself is also waiting for something. There might be things that he has yet to accomplish. Otherwise, he would have already attacked.”

Ye Futian nodded his head. He also agreed with his father’s perspective. The Human Ancestor had extreme power at his fingertips. However, he could not utilize it yet. He was similarly waiting for the right moment. He might have unfinished business.

“Father, I wish to venture outside,” said Ye Futian.

“Where are you planning to go?” Donghuang the Great asked.

“I do not know,” replied Ye Futian as he shook his head. “I wish to wander around and maybe visit Spirit Mountain. The Buddhist scriptures are broad and profound. Back in the day, I couldn’t understand many manuscripts. I might be able to have a different understanding of them if I try again now.”

“Go then,” said Donghuang the Great as he nodded his head. “I will look over this place on your behalf.”

With Ye Futian’s current cultivation plane, he did not need to worry about anything. There was probably no one in the world who could kill Ye Futian single-handedly aside from the person who had killed her back then.

Ye Futian left the ninety-nine heavens. He had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. He wanted to figure out what the end goal of cultivation was!
