The System Granted Me Invincibility, Setting Me on the Path to Becoming the Heavenly Emperor

32: Slay my ignorance to understand the Way, and shape my true self.Returning to the sleeping palace arranged by the Empress, the System’s voice rang out in his mind.

[Mission complete. Yu Linglong has achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable, and Xue Qingcheng has achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable.]

[Mission rewards have been issued: Linglong Immortal Scripture, Linglong Hand.]

[Random Origin Body. Do you wish to draw?]

”Draw!”

Qin Gelan did not hesitate, feeling a touch of anticipation.

[Drawing Origin Body...]

Qin Gelan saw a spinning compass appear before his eyes, and the compass began to rotate.

[Origin Body—Lightning]

Qin Gelan was overjoyed. The Origin Thunder Body was an offensive Physique, and most importantly, thunder inherently carried the Power of Destruction.

Coupled with the blessing of the Power of Destruction, one of the Seven Great Eternal Daos, no one could surpass him in terms of offensive power.

[Origin Thunder Body has been issued, supplementary: Origin Mind-Cultivation Technique - Lightning (Automatically comprehended), Lightning Technique—Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Prison Lure, Lightning Technique—Aura Lure Azure Thunder.]

Qin Gelan opened his palm, and divine thunder condensed in his hand, emitting crackling sounds. It was a pity this world had no mobile phones, or else he could serve as a portable power bank.

Afterward, Qin Gelan’s attribute panel popped up:

[host: Qin Gelan]

[Power: Vast Righteous Qi, Asura Power]

Qin Gelan looked at his attribute panel, feeling a strange illusion that he was a character in a game.

The System’s voice had not yet stopped:

[Due to Yu Linglong and Xue Qingcheng’s Realm Breakthrough, the host’s Destiny Value has increased.]

[Destiny Value: Medium]

[Medium Destiny Value Reward: Dragon Phoenix Creation Art, Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao, Shaping the True Origin Self]

”Wh—What does this mean? Wait, brother tong zi, holy crap!” Before Qin Gelan could finish speaking, the Qi within his body surged.

Boom~

Heavenly and earthly phenomena occurred, the entire Divine Continent began to shake, and all of heaven and earth were astonished!

Above the Cloud Palace, Empress Shenxi’s expression changed, and Yun Yao looked somewhat bewildered.

The entire Divine Continent looked toward the Shenxi Empire, but they were blocked by an inexplicable Heavenly Mystery, making it impossible to peer inside.

”What happened?”

”Phenomena have occurred across the entire Xuanhuang Heaven!”

”Could someone be proving the Dao to become a Supreme?”

Empress Shenxi looked toward Qin Gelan’s sleeping palace; an inexplicable aura was emanating from within.

It resembled that of an Immortal Emperor, yet it wasn’t, but it definitely surpassed the Immortal Venerable Realm.

”Could he really be following the path of the Heavenly Emperor from back then?” Empress Shenxi’s expression was solemn. She immediately ordered: ”No one is allowed to approach the sleeping palace. No one is to divulge today’s events. Violators will be executed!”

Boom! Crackle!

The phenomena continued. Auspicious light descended from the sky, but then the auspicious light receded, the heavens and earth darkened, the sun and moon lost their luster, as if the end of the world had arrived.

At this moment, the entire Xuanhuang Heaven shook the heavens and moved the gods!

Evil spirits wailed, heaven and earth trembled together, tsunamis surged, rivers flowed backward, and all sorts of strange signs frequently appeared.

A Supreme had a solemn expression and muttered to himself, ”Did someone cultivate the True Self? Is another Heavenly Emperor about to appear in the world?”

”Not good! External powerhouses are spying on us!”

The phenomena were already extending outward, causing the Myriad Heavens to tremble, and rolling thunder echoed, seemingly intending to annihilate the Heaven-Defying individual!

Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao—this is Heaven-Defying!

Using heaven and earth to forge one’s self, Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao, taking the self as heaven and earth, integrating all things into one, tracing the Origin of the True Self, and transforming into the Self Heavenly Dao!

At this moment, the entire Myriad Realms was watching the sky-filling phenomena originating from Xuanhuang Heaven!

Since the phenomena originated from Xuanhuang Heaven, Supremes from other Planes came to investigate, but they were blocked by the Supremes of Xuanhuang Heaven.

”Fellow Daoist, what is your intention?”

A Supreme from another Plane spoke.

”This is Xuanhuang Heaven. Fellow Daoist, isn’t such blatant spying going too far?” The Supreme of Dao Tian Sect spoke.

”The phenomena originating from Xuanhuang Heaven have already affected the Myriad Realms. It is not inappropriate for us to investigate the cause,” said another Supreme from a different Plane.

The Divine Thoughts of more than a dozen Supremes simultaneously probed over.

The Supreme of Dao Tian Sect had a solemn expression. Supremes from several other great Transcendent Factions also appeared, their Supreme Dharma Idols standing tall.

”The Xuanhuang Heaven phenomena are affecting the Myriad Realms and may cause great suffering. Are you trying to shield the source of the disaster?” a Supreme asked.

At the same time, outside Xuanhuang Heaven, more than a dozen Supreme Dharma Idols manifested, confronting the Supremes of Xuanhuang Heaven.

”This is Xuanhuang Heaven. Are you all planning to forcibly cross the boundary?” The Supreme of Divine Medicine Sect spoke.

Although they didn’t know what was happening, as the Supremes of this Plane, they understood right and wrong. No matter what, they couldn’t allow Supremes from other Planes to enter.

”What, do you want to start a Plane War?”

A Qilin figure spanned the sky, obscuring the sun and covering the earth—it was the Qilin Emperor, the Supreme of the Demon Domain!

The Supremes of the various great Factions in Xuanhuang Heaven all revealed their Dharma Idols and summoned their ultimate dao immortal artifacts, resulting in a stalemate.

Seeing this, the external Supremes were hesitant. Xuanhuang Heaven was a formidable existence among the Myriad Heavens. Not only did it have the nine Supremes publicly known, but several others were hidden in the shadows.

Moreover... every single one of them had an ultimate dao immortal artifact.

They were incredibly rich!

Although they were Supremes, it wasn’t guaranteed that every one of them possessed an ultimate dao immortal artifact. If a fight broke out, they would certainly suffer losses.

Just as both sides were deadlocked, a pen streaked across the sky, forming an ink-colored Heavenly Mark, as if someone had casually drawn a line on a piece of paper.

That ink-colored Heavenly Mark blocked everything, and Vast Righteous Qi permeated the mark, preventing the external Supremes from entering.

”Withdraw.”

Only two words arrived, the voice low, calm, and serene.

The Literary Sage of Book Mountain!

The Literary Sage did not show himself; only a pen appeared, yet it gave all the external Supremes a powerful sense of oppression.

”literary dao primordial pen!”

”The Literary Sage of Book Mountain!”

The Supremes’ expressions were grim. They hadn’t expected the Literary Sage to block them with a single Heavenly Mark. The Literary Sage, wielding the literary dao primordial pen, was terrifyingly powerful.

They all feared the Literary Sage because the Literary Sage had once slain a Supreme.

Tens of thousands of years ago, an external Supreme acted recklessly in Xuanhuang Heaven, even destroying a nation with a single palm strike, causing immense suffering.

The Literary Sage intervened and slew him, then made his corpse kneel in the ruins of that nation. Tens of thousands of years later, the Supreme’s skeleton remains, still kneeling in the Northern Wasteland, despised by the world.

Since then, the Literary Sage’s reputation has soared throughout the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, commanding universal awe.

The Literary Sage’s warning made the external Supremes wary, and they reluctantly retreated.

”As expected of the Literary Sage.”

The Supreme of Loulan Empire sighed in admiration.

The various Supremes also withdrew their Dharma Idols, and the Qilin Emperor’s figure receded.

The oppressive aura hanging over Xuanhuang Heaven vanished, leaving the people of Xuanhuang Heaven with lingering fear.

Empress Shenxi looked at Qin Gelan’s sleeping palace with her beautiful eyes. She had naturally witnessed everything that just happened, but she hadn’t expected it to alarm the Myriad Realms.

No wonder the Heavenly Emperor unified the Myriad Realms back then, suppressing an era with peerless combat power. Is someone similar to the Heavenly Emperor of yesteryear about to appear now?

Xi Huang felt a mix of anticipation and complexity.

Xi Huang was the name of Empress Shenxi, known to very few.
