According to legend, the Heaven Realm was passed down through the Deva in ancient times.

The Heavenly Palace was located at the highest point of the former Heaven Realm, which had many layers.

Ye Futian and the others came to where the Heavenly Palace was located. The number of cultivators they had encountered on the way gradually increased, and all of them were moving in the same direction.

As they went all the way up, they came to a place shrouded in clouds and mists. Looking far ahead, there was a boundless and mass Heaven’s Gate, spanning a distance of a hundred miles. The gate was engraved with runes, appearing majestic and grand, as a sacredness permeated from the Heaven’s Gate itself. However, this gate was not intact, as it had suffered some damages, with many visible cracks.

There was a sky stairwell under the Heaven’s Gate, which was equally boundless and massive. This was the place that must be passed through before anyone could enter the Heavenly Palace.

The scene in front of him bore some semblance to the Old Heaven Court Relics, and it seemed that they were indeed of the same heritage.

Ye Futian looked at that massive Heaven’s Gate from a distance and thought it was the most magnificent gate he had ever beheld. Many people stopped here despite themselves to marvel at the gate when they arrived here.

“We’re here.” The cultivators next to Ye Futian also looked at the door with a sense of disbelief in their hearts. The impact they felt was beyond words.

Heaven’s Gate!

“Let’s go in.” Ye Futian was moving forward in the air and stepped inside the Heaven’s Gate. Aside from that, many cultivators had gone inside the Heaven’s Gate as well in other directions.

After the crossing of Heaven’s Gate, everything seemed different. There was no heaven on the outside, but inside, it seemed to be an entirely different and independent world.

According to legend, there were ninety-nine heavens in the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Emperor resided in the highest layer of heaven from where he ruled the Heaven Realm. There were countless able cultivators in these ninety-nine heavens who lived here, and each had its own cultivation court.

This sky stairwell was the only way to access the heavens. However, even the sky stairwell could not reach the last nine heavens any further unless it was with explicit permission from above.

However, this sky stairwell was not intact either and had been damaged. It had not been repaired to date, and many places were broken.

“Is the Sovereign Princess not here?”

Ye Futian looked up at the sky stairwell and thought to himself, If the Sovereign Princess is still around, how could she have allowed all these cultivators to come inside the Heavenly Palace so unceremoniously?

Why would the Path of the Emperors appear inside the Heavenly Palace?

They continued their way up, and their speed was incredible. When they were moving upward into the sky, Ye Futian’s divine consciousness scanned over many areas of the Heavenly Palace. The land of the Heavenly Palace was incredibly vast; even his divine consciousness could only cover part of the area. He saw many cultivation courts and buildings that dated back to ancient times. They were impressive and splendid, and most of them were pure white and extremely clean-looking, but most of them had suffered some damage.

“What kind of battle happened in the Heavenly Palace back then?” Ye Futian’s heart palpitated. Did the battle of the Great Emperors shatter the Heavenly Palace?

However, he also saw a lot of cultivators at the Heavenly Palace, who must be people from the Heavenly Imperial Palace of today. These people, led by Ji Wudao, kept a low profile in the outside world. But in the battle at the Old Heaven Court, the Heavenly Imperial Palace demonstrated extraordinary combat effectiveness. Ji Wudao, Great Skylords Black and White Almighty, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Nine Star Lords were notable figures. More importantly, it was still unknown whether more powerful existences were hidden within this Heavenly Palace.

Ye Futian and the others passed through layers of heaven, and there seemed to be no end to the Heavenly Palace. They continued upward without encountering any obstacles.

When they got to the ninetieth layer of heaven, they could feel a heavenly might that came from the sky, as the sky stairwell was also coming to an end.

But their pace did not slow, as they continued moving through the sky, continued making their way upwards, and passing through, layer after layer. If this were in the era of the Heavenly Emperor, anyone who dared to come through that last nine layers of heaven would be automatically executed and punished by heaven.

In the last nine heavens, Ye Futian saw many examples of ancient architecture which had been repaired and maintained. These buildings and the cultivation courts were filled with powerful aura, as they were the residences of mighty cultivators in the Heaven Realm today.

But at this time, there was no one around. Everyone must have reached the very top.

As they continued upward, the heavenly might was becoming stronger as well. When they finally reached the ninety-ninth heaven, a heavenly palace towering high above them. The heavenly might was coming from above the palace, and the aura that came from it was enough to make Ye Futian’s heart beat wildly.

Not just Ye Futian, but everyone around him felt it as well. An extremely sharp will flashed through their eyes.

“Perfect Will.” Ye Futian fixed his attention on the sky in front of him; it was the most primitive kind of Will.

There were cultivators from all over the world in this world, and the top figures of the Seven Realms had arrived at different positions. In addition, there were top cultivators from various worlds, including Haotian the Great, whom Ye Futian intended on killing before, as well as other inheritors of ancient emperors from the other worlds.

All of them had come under this sky.

At this time, many cultivators had also noticed Ye Futian’s arrival. After all, Ye Futian was way too dazzling an existence today. Although no Great Emperor was backing him, he was, nonetheless, one of the top existences in the known world, a supreme cultivator who had slain the ancient emperor.

After the news of the battle came out, it sent shockwaves throughout the Seven Realms, but Ye Futian never emerged again after that. He had been cultivating in retreat ever since, until his presence under the heaven today.

The cultivators from the Heavenly Imperial Palace stood above the Heavenly Palace, and Ji Wudao was among them. His temperament was extraordinary and had changed quite a bit compared to what it was in the past. He glanced at Ye Futian; almost everyone who should be here was here.

Ye Futian felt these gazes upon him. He glanced in all directions and saw many people were cultivating. There were divine powers that circulated upon those top figures. Today, just after a few years, everyone was improving and transforming.

Moreover, this firmament may be able to help them in their cultivation.

Above the firmament, the sky seemed to be nurturing a terrifying aura of the Great Path. From this sky, Ye Futian could sense a familiar aura that he had experienced many times before—an aura possessed only by some divine items. Take Wangshen Watchtower, for example: Wangshen Watchtower was an immensely powerful divine item, but the hands of the Millet Emperor had truly excavated it.

There was also the divine ruler, which was also of similar aura.

“Heavenly Path!”

Ye Futian’s eyes were extremely sharp, as he felt the aura of the firmament, and his heart was greatly troubled. After the collapse of the Heavenly Path, some divine items had come to the world, which was left by the Heavenly Path. According to legend, Wangshen Watchtower was the gate to the Heavenly Path.

However, the Heavenly Path had collapsed, so this could not be the Heavenly Path here in its totality.

Therefore, only one possibility was that this was part of the Heavenly Path.

In this corner of the sky in the Heavenly Imperial Palace, there was a part of the Heavenly Path; what could it possibly mean?

Could it be related to the destructive attacks that Heavenly Realm had suffered back then?

Many secrets may have a direct connection with the Heavenly Imperial Palace. Ye Futian even had a faint suspicion that perhaps his existence had something to do with the Heavenly Imperial Palace.

“Path of the Emperors!” Ye Futian murmured. The era before the collapse of the Heavenly Path was the era of the gods.

If this was part of the Heavenly Path, then this here was indeed the Path of the Emperors!
