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

40: The Battle of Realms, Buddha’s Disciple WunengThe Book Mountain Assembly ended, and the various factions departed one after another, leaving only the nine Transcendent Factions.

Qin Gelan watched the scene; it seemed there were matters to discuss.

Not only Qin Gelan, but the Empress also stayed behind.

”I invited everyone here through the Book Mountain Assembly, so I assume you all know why,” Dao Master Chu said as he looked at the leaders of the nine factions, speaking slowly.

”Regarding the Realm War, the Dao Tian Sect is already prepared.”

”The Southern Universe should also have a ruler.”

”That’s right. This time, the Dominator Plane must belong to Xuanhuang Heaven.”

The leaders of the nine Transcendent Factions spoke one after another, their eyes sharp with brilliance.

”Realm War?”

This was the first time Qin Gelan had heard of it.

Beside him, the Empress explained via voice transmission: ”The Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms are divided into four Universes: East, South, West, and North. Each of the four Universes has a Dominator Plane. The Dominator Plane of the Eastern Universe is the Supreme Profound Purity Realm.”

”The Dominator Plane of the Western Universe is held alternately by the Monster Realm and Lesser Western Heaven for ten thousand years each.”

”The Dominator Plane of the Northern Universe is the Primordial Realm.”

”Only the Southern Universe lacks a Dominator Plane. Consequently, no one leads us in the Myriad Realms Prodigy Battle, and very few people can make it to the end.”

”The Realm War is the struggle for the Southern Universe to compete for the Dominator Plane.”

Hearing the Empress’s explanation, Qin Gelan nodded, gaining some understanding.

It wasn’t that the Xuanhuang Realm was weak; it was because there were two other planes no weaker than the Xuanhuang Realm, which was why the South had never had a Dominator Plane.

Without the rule of a Dominator Plane, the Southern Universe suffered heavy defeats every time in the Myriad Realms Prodigy Battle.

It wasn’t that the prodigies’ strength was insufficient, but rather that there was no united front; they each fought their own battles.

The other three Universes were all led by Dominator Planes, so their cohesive strength was very solid.

”In every era, a Heavenly Road appears. It is a struggle for Luck among the favored children of heaven from various planes, which is why it is also known as the Myriad Realms Prodigy Battle.”

”Those who can participate in the Myriad Realms Prodigy Battle all possess Heaven-Defying talent, and various Supreme Physiques will emerge one after another,” the Empress explained patiently.

”And the Realm War is used to determine the Dominator Plane of the Southern Universe through the younger generation before the Myriad Realms Prodigy Battle. Participants must be under five hundred years old.”

After the Empress finished her explanation, the Transcendent Factions also finished their discussions and took their leave.

As for the results of the discussion, it was none of Qin Gelan’s business.

Just as the Buddhas Son of the Buddhist Kingdom Spiritual Mountain passed by Qin Gelan, he suddenly sensed a pure Buddha Power from Qin Gelan.

”Benefactor Qin, amitabha~” The Buddhas Son walked up to Qin Gelan.

”And the Great Master is?”

”This humble monk is Wuneng.”

Pfft~

Hearing the Buddhas Son’s Buddhist title, Qin Gelan spat out the mouthful of tea he had just sipped.

Holy crap! Second Senior Brother!

”Cough, cough... Second Sen— no, does the Eminent Monk have some business?” Qin Gelan’s face turned red as he choked.

”Slow down, Benefactor Qin. There is no need for haste,” Wuneng advised upon seeing Qin Gelan choking badly.

”This humble monk sensed a pure Intent of the Buddhist Path from Benefactor Qin. Have you ever practiced Buddhism?”

Wuneng’s words attracted everyone’s attention. They looked at Qin Gelan with strange expressions. Qin Gelan actually practiced Buddhism too? Is there anything he can’t do?

The Buddhist Abbot, Zhen Hui, also came to Wuneng’s side and pressed his palms together. ”Wuneng, are you sure Benefactor Qin possesses Intent of the Buddhist Path?”

”amitabha. Master, a monk does not tell lies.”

Qin Gelan didn’t understand what Intent of the Buddhist Path these two were talking about. Could it be the Nine Zhang Golden Body?

Zhen Hui’s expression was serious as he chanted a Buddhist title to Qin Gelan. ”amitabha. Benefactor Qin, have you ever left Xuanhuang Heaven?”

Facing Zhen Hui’s questioning, Qin Gelan frowned but still answered, ”No.”

”May I ask, Benefactor Qin, where did the Intent of the Buddhist Path on your person come from?” Zhen Hui continued to press.

Being interrogated like a criminal made Qin Gelan somewhat impatient. ”Great Master, if you have something to say, just say it.”

”Wuneng possesses a Sumeru Wisdom Root and has a special sensitivity to the world’s Buddhist laws. If this old monk’s guess is correct, has Benefactor Qin Cultivate a Buddhist Golden Body?”

Zhen Hui’s words caused the leaders of the Transcendent Factions to look over.

They had naturally heard of the Buddhist Golden Body. It was known as being invincible in the Physical Body among those of the same rank, an existence that could compete with the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body.

”That’s right. I have indeed cultivated a Golden Body,” Qin Gelan answered truthfully.

”I wonder where Benefactor obtained the cultivation method for the Golden Body?”

Faced with Zhen Hui’s questioning, Qin Gelan’s gaze sharpened. Inquiring about someone’s cultivation method was a major taboo in the cultivation world.

”Sorry, I have nothing to say about that,” Qin Gelan refused directly.

Beside him, the Empress also frowned slightly and said, ”Does the Great Master not feel he is being a bit rude?”

”amitabha. Empress, please forgive me. This old monk suspects that Benefactor Qin has stolen and learned the true Buddhist laws of my Spiritual Mountain. This matter is very important to my Buddhist Sect,” Zhen Hui chanted.

”Stolen and learned your Spiritual Mountain’s true laws? Who decreed that the Golden Body cultivation method is exclusive to your Spiritual Mountain?” Qin Gelan was practically laughing from anger.

The Nine Zhang Golden Body given by the System was being called stolen by this old bald donkey.

The various factions all looked at Qin Gelan. They didn’t expect him to dare to steal and learn the true laws of Spiritual Mountain.

Shen Hao and Xiao He also had cold smiles on their faces. They were naturally happy to see Qin Gelan at odds with Spiritual Mountain.

That group of bald donkeys from Spiritual Mountain were not only powerful but also very difficult to deal with.

”amitabha. Benefactor, do not quibble. Benefactor Qin said just now that he has never left Xuanhuang Heaven. Among the Buddhist paths in Xuanhuang Heaven, only Spiritual Mountain possesses the Legacy method for the Buddhist Golden Body,” Zhen Hui persisted.

”Cultivators in this world each have their own Opportunities. What the Great Master says is somewhat inappropriate,” Li Moyuan spoke up at this time.

”Benefactor Qin may have his Opportunities, but the Golden Body Legacy indeed belongs to my Spiritual Mountain,” Buddhas Son Wuneng said.

”Benefactor Qin, Buddhism speaks of Karma. If you are willing to follow me to Spiritual Mountain and have the Golden Body removed, the Buddhist Karma can be settled,” Zhen Hui said.

Remove the Golden Body?

Wouldn’t that be the same as crippling him?

”And if I say no?” Qin Gelan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”Then this old monk will have no choice but to forcibly take Benefactor Qin back to Spiritual Mountain to settle the Karma.” The aura of the Immortal Emperor Ninth Heaven radiated from Zhen Hui, and pure Buddha Power pressed down.

Is he going to make a move?

Dao Master Chu’s gaze turned cold. This was Book Mountain. Setting aside that Qin Gelan was now part of the Scholar Path Lineage, taking action on Book Mountain was a complete disregard for Book Mountain.

Just as Dao Master Chu was about to step in to stop it, the Empress struck out with a palm, dispersing the Buddha Power.

Half-Step Supreme!

Shock appeared in Zhen Hui’s eyes, and he immediately used all his strength to block the Empress’s attack.

His cassock was in disarray as Zhen Hui retreated one zhang.

He was completely no match for the Empress. The leaders of the Transcendent Factions looked at the Empress with solemn expressions.

A Half-Step Supreme. Given time and with the Empress’s talent, she would surely step fully into the Supreme realm.

At that time, Xuanhuang Heaven would have another Supreme being.

”To move against Qin Gelan, have you asked this Empress?” The Empress’s gaze turned sharp, and an aura like a ruler of the world emerged.

”Qin Gelan stole my Intent of the Buddhist Path. The Buddhist Sect only wishes to take it back,” Zhen Hui said solemnly. Facing the Empress, he did not dare to be careless.

Zhen Hui did not strike again because he knew the Empress’s cultivation was above his. Despite being a Half-Step Supreme, she could play with him like a toy.

”Thank you for your help, Empress,” Qin Gelan nodded to her.

”You are the Prefect of Taizhou in the Shenxi Empire; you are my person. Naturally, I won’t let anyone touch you.” As soon as the Empress finished speaking, she felt something was not quite right and her gaze shifted slightly.

Qin Gelan didn’t notice. Instead, he spoke to Zhen Hui: ”According to what you said, my cultivation of the Buddhist Golden Body was stolen from Spiritual Mountain.”

”Then... what about the Sword Dao?”
