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

36: There is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way; the sea of ​​learning is boundless, and hard work is the boat.Time passed slowly until the Book Mountain Assembly began.

Under Li Moyuan’s lead, Qin Gelan and the others arrived at a manor, where the fragrance of books and Confucian air permeated the entire place.

The manor was large, but it lacked magnificent decorations; instead, it was exquisite, giving a sense of empty tranquility and serenity, as if it were a world apart.

Various factions had already arrived. Yu Linglong and Xue Qingcheng each went to find their respective Elders, leaving only the Empress with Qin Gelan.

Qin Gelan suddenly looked toward a certain spot, a meaningful smile appearing on his Face.

A man with an otherworldly temperament stood beside an old man; the man was the Godchild of the Hall of Gods, Shen Hao, and the old man was Xiao He.

Qin Gelan paced forward. Yu Linglong, who was conversing with Yu Feihua, looked at Qin Gelan and thought to herself, ”Is this guy going to cause trouble?”

Seeing someone walking toward him, Xiao He looked up and saw it was Qin Gelan; his Face instantly turned ugly.

”Oh, Elder Xiao has also come to the Book Mountain Assembly?”

Qin Gelan looked at Xiao He with a smile, as if looking at an old acquaintance.

”Young Master Qin...” Xiao He’s Face twitched as he forced out a smile.

”The Book Mountain Assembly isn’t about fighting and killing. If you lose in the literary dao later, no one will give you Face~”

Qin Gelan gave a provocative smile and then left.

Facing Qin Gelan’s provocative words and the hidden sarcasm, although Xiao He was furious, he didn’t dare to lash out.

The matter of the Supreme coming to his door last time was still vivid in his mind.

Beside Xiao He, Shen Hao snorted coldly: ”Qin Gelan, what kind of ability is it to act fiercely by relying on the Supreme behind you? If you have the guts, fight me!”

Qin Gelan slowly turned around, glanced at Shen Hao, then showed a look of disappointment and shook his head: ”Immortal Venerable Realm Fourth Heaven, too weak.”

Surprised that he could see through his cultivation at a glance, Shen Hao froze for a moment then sneered: ”As expected, you don’t dare. You’re just lording it over others by relying on that Supreme.”

Shen Hao couldn’t see through Qin Gelan’s cultivation, but he assumed it wasn’t higher than his own.

In the entire young generation of Divine Continent, only a few could fight him; others were simply beneath his notice.

Yu Linglong and Xue Qingcheng both looked at Shen Hao with strange expressions. They knew Qin Gelan’s cultivation level; wasn’t Shen Hao just asking for a beating by fighting him?

Returning to the Empress’s side, Qin Gelan smiled and explained to her: ”Fighting him would be pure bullying; there’s no need.”

Qin Gelan’s voice wasn’t quiet. The Faces of the various factions present twitched, while only the people from the Ice and Snow Divine Palace and Linglong Island found it normal.

Just as Shen Hao was about to explode, he was stopped by Xiao He. In the Nameless Manor of Book Mountain, one must not take action, or they would be expelled from Book Mountain.

In one direction, a man wearing a golden brocade robe smiled: ”This Qin Gelan is quite interesting.”

Beside the man, a woman in golden brocade, showing her navel with long legs and wearing various gorgeous accessories, asked curiously: ”Does Imperial Brother want to compete with this Qin Gelan?”

The man was the current Crown Prince of the Loulan Empire, Lou Long, and the woman was the Princess of the Loulan Empire, Lou Yue.

All the Transcendent Factions had sent representatives to the Book Mountain Assembly: Dao Tian Sect’s Sect Master Dao Xuan and Saint Dao Zhi.

Buddhist Kingdom Spiritual Mountain’s Abbot Zhen Hui and Buddhas Son Wuneng.

Divine Medicine Sect’s Sect Head Dan Huang and Saint Dan Qiu.

Linglong Island, Ice and Snow Divine Palace, Loulan Empire, Hall of Gods—except for the Demon Domain, all the Transcendent Factions had arrived.

Boom~

Suddenly, a strong wind rose, and the sky darkened. The experts all released their spiritual energy to block the gale.

Above Book Mountain, a Golden-Winged Peng spread its wings, blotting out the sun, then transformed into a human form, becoming a man with golden hair and a resolute Face.

Behind the man followed three young people, one male and two female. One of the women Qin Gelan had seen before: the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, Yue Qingyi.

”The Demon Domain has never participated in the Book Mountain Assembly; they actually came this time.”

”Isn’t this just messing around? Why are they joining the fun?”

”Do Yao also understand poetry and literature?”

With the arrival of the people from the Demon Domain, Book Mountain’s Sect Head Dao Master Chu also appeared, with Li Moyuan following him.

”I didn’t expect the Demon Domain to send Brother Jin Huan to participate in the Book Mountain Assembly.” Dao Master Chu looked at Jin Huan with a smile, then at the three young people behind him.

A Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, and the Qilin Emperor’s son and daughter; all were of the highest Yao Race Bloodline, truly extraordinary.

”Sect Head Chu.”

Jin Huan cupped his hands. As a Golden-Winged Peng with a Supreme Bloodline, cold arrogance was etched in his bones, but he was still very polite facing Dao Master Chu.

Dao Master Chu cupped his hands to everyone: ”Thank you all for coming from afar to participate in the Book Mountain Assembly.”

”I heard that this Book Mountain Assembly has a peerless genius of the literary dao who wrote a miraculous piece of the ages a few days ago, triggering a heaven and earth vision.” At this point, Dao Master Chu glanced secretly at Qin Gelan.

Qin Gelan noticed it too. It seemed Li Moyuan had told Dao Master Chu.

Everyone present was in an uproar. They had naturally heard about it, but they didn’t expect it to be a young man.

”Everyone, follow me to the pavilion to see the literary dao students striving across the Sea of Learning.” Dao Master Chu stepped onto a pavilion first.

Arriving at the pavilion and looking down, a sea of vastness rolled incessantly.

This was the work of the Book Mountain Ancestral Master back then, named the Sea of Learning. As long as one could cross the Sea of Learning, they could enter Book Mountain to Cultivate.

Over countless years, who knows how many literati wanted to cross the Sea of Learning to enter Book Mountain; those who succeeded were very few, while those who failed were as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river.

For this Book Mountain Assembly, the Literary Sage had lowered the difficulty, suppressing the Vast Righteous Qi in the Sea of Learning by half.

Even so, many people fell in the Sea of Learning and were teleported outside.

Qin Gelan watched as the literary dao Cultivators rowed boats, writing poems in the Sea of Learning. Some failed and were teleported out, and boats in the Sea of Learning shattered one after another.

Some also succeeded and were directly teleported into Book Mountain, showing looks of excitement.

Watching the literary dao Cultivators coming by boat, Qin Gelan felt inspired: ”On Book Mountain, there is a path through diligence; in the Sea of Learning, there is no limit to the boat of hardship...”

The Vast Righteous Qi suddenly surged. Qin Gelan sensed something was wrong and suppressed the Vast Righteous Qi.

”What a ’On Book Mountain, there is a path through diligence; in the Sea of Learning, there is no limit to the boat of hardship’!”

Although Dao Master Chu was looking at the Sea of Learning, he was also paying attention to Qin Gelan. When he heard Qin Gelan’s inspired line, he immediately cheered.

Dao Master Chu walked over and praised: ”Little friend’s literary talent is truly world-shaking. Using Book Mountain as a guide and the Sea of Learning as an anchor, you have described this scene perfectly.”

”This junior greets Sect Head Chu.” Qin Gelan gave a bow.

”I heard from Li Moyuan that little friend’s bring in the wine triggered a heaven and earth vision. It can be called a work passed down through the ages, truly admirable.”

Speaking of bring in the wine, Dao Master Chu couldn’t help but sigh at its heroic spirit.

Dao Master Chu’s words made everyone look at Qin Gelan. They didn’t expect that bring in the wine was written by Qin Gelan.

Yue Qingyi gave a charming smile: ”That Young Master Qin is truly not simple.”

Beside her, Jade Qilin Son glanced at Qin Gelan. He didn’t understand poetry, but he had read bring in the wine and thought it was quite good.

”Dao Zhi, Qin Gelan is not simple. It seems you have another opponent.” Dao Xuan reminded Dao Zhi beside him.

Dao Zhi’s appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were full of confidence, showing no fear at all.

”Imperial Brother, this Young Master Qin might become your greatest opponent~” Lou Yue smiled enchantingly, showing full Western Regions charm.

”Hmph, so what if he has some literary talent? Without strength, it’s all empty talk.”

Shen Hao snorted disdainfully.

Lou Yue smiled and didn’t argue with Shen Hao. Since the Hall of Gods was slapped in the Face at their own door last time, he had also been mocked.

The reason for everything was Qin Gelan. Shen Hao felt deep hatred for Qin Gelan in his heart, and besides... Yu Linglong had been with him before.

Shen Hao had long been interested in Yu Linglong, but she was very cold toward him.

Entering the Nameless Manor earlier, Yu Linglong and Qin Gelan were talking and laughing, which made Shen Hao’s jealousy burn.

This caused killing intent to rise in Shen Hao’s heart. Only after the Book Mountain Assembly would he find an opportunity to get rid of Qin Gelan.
