The Legend of Futian

Ye Futian sank deep into his own thoughts. Everything in the world was in his mind, operating according to their own law.

He sensed everything operating while studying the passage of time. The thousands of operations became more apparent; the concept of time seemed to be clearer too.

In the Buddhist Scriptures, Buddhas cultivated in different worlds and some worlds, one day would pass while one year would have passed in another world.

His Micro Heavenly Path was a world different from the outside world.

Time was just a created concept. It reflected the operations of everything in the world and was also law under the Heavenly Path—it was just more abstract.

In reality, the concept of time had not yet developed in his Micro Heavenly Path. It was still calculated according to the time in the outside world.

If I changed the operations of all beings in the Micro Heavenly Path, then will this world be different from the outside world? Ye Futian thought. He was entirely in the state of pondering, immersed in it.

Under his thoughts, some slight changes appeared in how all beings in the world operated. He also focused on the cultivators of the Ye Imperial Palace. They did not realize this.

Everything in the world was relative. When you were in a world, and only the laws of one being's operation changed, you would be able to catch it quickly. But if everything in the world changed simultaneously, it would be like nothing had changed.

When a man moved, they could easily feel that they were moving. But if the land carried him along as it moved, then he would be still.

The cultivators of the Ye Imperial Palace were all immersed in their cultivation, and no one discovered any changes. Their abilities also kept improving.

Bathed in the Law of the Micro Heavenly Path, their changes were dramatic. They improved every day, and as time passed, there were gradually more and more Near-Deities in the Ye Imperial Palace. They started studying their own world and even created their own Divine Powers. Of course, this was also under the Micro Heavenly Path, just like the cultivators under the ancient Heavenly Path.

Even if they followed the Heavenly Path and became Great Emperors, they would still be under the Heavenly Path and unable to break free from it.

That day, Ye Futian was still studying when he saw Gu Dongliu raise his head in one part of the world. "Little Brother," he called out softly.

Ye Futian's figure appeared before him as soon as he finished speaking. Clearly, Gu Dongliu knew that Ye Futian was aware of everything in this world, so he called out directly, and Ye Futian appeared as expected.

"Third Brother," Ye Futian said with a smile, walking towards Gu Dongliu. "Did you run into problems in your cultivation?"

"Yes." Gu Dongliu nodded. "Little Brother, how is your cultivation? When can the Micro Heavenly Path can be completed?"

"Not sure." Ye Futian nodded. "The Great Emperor-To-Bes in the outside world was once Great Emperors, so it's easy for them to return to the Great Emperor Plane. It's not too hard for other Great Emperor-To-Bes either, but my cultivation is a bit unique. It seems to be a bit different from everyone, and I still haven't found the specific way to become emperor. I can only continue to perfect the Micro Heavenly Path until it becomes complete itself."

"Little Brother, you're already able to fight with Great Emperors as a Great Emperor-To-Be Plane. Of course, your cultivation is different from the others. Otherwise, what's the point for the rest of us? This is quite expected. Because your cultivation is special, becoming an emperor might differ from the others. It will be harder," Gu Dongliu said. "This Micro Heavenly Path is already very similar to the Heavenly Path World of the Heaven Realm. This is a complete Heavenly Path World. If it becomes perfect, then you can even replace the Heavenly Path. Thus, this road will not be simple. Have you thought about this before?"

"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "I felt this, which is why I have a sense of urgency."

"In the last battle, you could already fight against Haotian the Great," Gu Dongliu said. "You'll only become stronger and stronger. You're already not that different from a Great Emperor. If you're complete, then it will be rare for you to have an enemy in the world. It's naturally difficult. Nowadays, I have already figured out my Divine Power, but it was with your help. Even though this can help me cultivate more quickly, I won't have an advantage if I encounter a Great Emperor in the outside world."

"Brother, what do you mean?" Ye Futian had a confused expression.

"Break the path!" Gu Dongliu said. "Even if you reach enlightenment and completion in the future, my limit will still be a Great Emperor under your Heavenly Path and possibly be comparable to Haotian the Great."

Gu Dongliu wanted to try his road and figure out his Path.

"Even though I was quite successful in breaking my Path, it's still an extremely dangerous method. You might head towards the point of no return," Ye Futian said. "Cultivating under my Heavenly Path, becoming emperor is only a matter of time. But breaking the path to cultivate might be a dead end. Even if you succeed, there are still dangers. Third Brother, have you thought clearly?"

"I know." Gu Dongliu nodded.

"Okay. In that case, I support you." Ye Futian did not discourage him. Gu Dongliu had always had his own opinions and was also proud. Fulfilling his Path and becoming a Great Emperor with Ye Futian's help was easy, but it was not what he wanted in cultivation.

Plus, seeing that his little brother had created his own Micro Heavenly Path, he naturally wanted to take a step further as well and forge his own road.

"It doesn't seem to be far from the end of the 500-year emperor fate of Donghuang the Great," Gu Dongliu said. "I don't know what will be of the foretelling of the Buddha of Destiny. The outside world is probably all waiting right now."

"Let's go out to see," Ye Futian said. With a thought, Gu Dongliu's body disappeared.

In the Ye Imperial Palace, all of the strong figures were still busy with their cultivations. Not everyone had entered Ye Futian's Micro Heavenly Path—only the core figures.

The two walked to the top of the steps outside the Ye Imperial Palace's grand pavilion. There were guards there who had very strong cultivators.

"Palace Lord, Third Sir." The guards bowed in greeting when they saw Ye Futian arrive.

"How is the outside world?" Ye Futian asked.

"In these countless months, a lot of information about Palace Lord spread through the outside world," the guard replied. "In the Divine Prefecture, the few Ancient God Clans have an even tighter alliance now. It's said that some of the ancient emperors cultivated together. They're worried that you will go kill them."

"Countless months?" Gu Dongliu asked with a surprised expression.

"Yes, it has been half a year since Palace Lord defeated Haotian the Great," the guard said. Gu Dongliu was stunned at his words. He seemed to realize something and turned to gaze at Ye Futian.

Had he misperceived the change in time?

There was only one explanation because it was Ye Futian's Micro Heavenly Path.

"The law of time changed," Ye Futian transmitted his voice to Gu Dongliu. Gu Dongliu's heart trembled. In the time he felt, nearly six years had left. He had indeed been cultivating during all those years.

Ye Futian was already able to change the time in the Micro Heavenly Path!
