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

43: Yin Shengge’s Destiny”Phoenix Girl, your Opportunity has arrived.”

The Literary Sage stroked his beard, looking at the Empress with a smile.

”Opportunity?” The Empress was puzzled and looked at the Literary Sage.

”You have been Cultivating for three thousand years. Although you have reached Half-step Supreme, you are imprisoned,” the Literary Sage said slowly.

Hearing this, the Empress’s beautiful eyes flashed, and she bowed to the Literary Sage: ”Please guide me, Senior Literary Sage.”

The Literary Sage shook his head and smiled: ”The Innate Divine Phoenix Body ranks third among the three thousand physiques.”

”However, while any Physique can bring benefits to a cultivator, the more powerful the Physique, the deeper the shackles.”

”The path is beneath your feet, and your Opportunity is right before your eyes. Phoenix Girl, seize the chance.”

Opportunity is right before my eyes?

Could it be him... The figure of Qin Gelan appeared in her mind.

The Empress turned and left. The Literary Sage withdrew his smile and looked at Dao Master Chu: ”What do you think of this girl Shengge and Qin Gelan?”

”Junior Martial Uncle... are you planning to...?” Dao Master Chu asked.

”A talented man and a Talented Women—it’s a good match,” the Literary Sage laughed, then instructed: ”Go to the Qin Family and have a talk.”

”Of course, if those two youngsters have no such intention, there’s no need to force it.”

Dao Master Chu was surprised; he hadn’t expected his Junior Martial Uncle to play matchmaker.

However, in terms of both strength and talent, Qin Gelan and Yin Shengge were indeed a good match... Qin Gelan and Yin Shengge walked through Book City, where the streets were bustling with people.

”I heard that Young Master Qin’s poem ’bring in the wine’ at the Osmanthus Tower became world-famous. Shengge admires you.”

By chance, the two arrived at the foot of the Osmanthus Tower, and Yin Shengge thought of that ’bring in the wine’.

”Haha, it was just written on a whim, it’s nothing much,” Qin Gelan smiled modestly.

Yin Shengge also wanted to enter the Osmanthus Tower to see ’bring in the wine’ hanging on the high platform with her own eyes.

The two entered the Osmanthus Tower, causing many people to turn their heads. The woman was ethereal and otherworldly, and the man was also of extraordinary bearing.

The proprietress recognized Qin Gelan; he was the talented scholar who had written ’bring in the wine’ in the Osmanthus Tower before.

Many people also recognized him and exclaimed in surprise. Seeing that the woman beside Qin Gelan had changed, it was yet another peerless beauty.

”Yin Shengge!”

”I didn’t expect it to be Yin Shengge!”

”And Qin Gelan! I didn’t expect these two to appear here!”

The talents who were at the Book Mountain Assembly before recognized Qin Gelan and Yin Shengge.

Seeing the two walking together, several young talents suddenly felt that the Osmanthus Brew was very bitter!

They each gulped down a few mouthfuls of Osmanthus Brew, unable to understand where they fell short and why such a beauty didn’t appear by their side.

Learning of Qin Gelan’s identity, the proprietress personally brought out a three-thousand-year-old Osmanthus Brew to gift to Qin Gelan.

Just as they sat down, the System’s voice rang in his mind again:

[Yin Shengge: Book Mountain Talented Women]

[Age: 57]

[Cultivation: Immortal Venerable Fifth Heavenly Layer]

[Destiny: Sub-Supreme-Advanced]

[Physique: Soul of Spiritual Rhyme (An extremely rare Physique among the three thousand physiques, capable of comprehending the Origin of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, such as: Vast Righteous Qi, Asura Body, Divine Qi)]

[Task: Help Yin Shengge comprehend Vast Righteous Qi. Reward: Vision—Asura Purgatory]

Sss~

Another Sub-Supreme-Advanced destiny!

His own destiny could be upgraded by helping others. When Yu Linglong and the others had a Breakthrough before, he received destiny feedback, upgrading from Low-level to Intermediate.

The reward for Intermediate destiny was Tracing the True Self. He couldn’t imagine the reward for Advanced destiny. Qin Gelan couldn’t help but look forward to it.

”Young Master Qin? Young Master Qin...”

Hearing Yin Shengge’s call, Qin Gelan snapped back to his senses.

He saw Yin Shengge’s pretty face was slightly red, her head lowered, looking shy, fully displaying her peerless beauty.

Yin Shengge acted this way because she saw Qin Gelan staring at her in a daze.

”Cough, cough... Sorry, I was a bit distracted just now.”

Qin Gelan’s face turned red; he had been staring at the girl, which caused a misunderstanding.

Soon, Qin Gelan added another sentence, teasing: ”Miss Shengge is stunningly beautiful; I couldn’t help but be mesmerized.”

Hearing this, Yin Shengge’s face turned even redder. For some reason, she didn’t find the teasing words from Qin Gelan’s mouth offensive, but rather felt a hint of secret joy.

Perhaps she admired Qin Gelan’s literary talent, or perhaps she was amazed by his natural talent, and unconsciously wanted to see through him.

”Then how does it compare to Yu Linglong?” Yin Shengge giggled.

”Cough, cough, that’s hard to compare.”

This was hard to evaluate. In terms of appearance, Yu Linglong and Yin Shengge naturally each had their own merits.

”Young Master Qin’s ’ode to linglong’ fully displays a beauty’s appearance and talent. In Young Master Qin’s eyes, perhaps Yu Linglong is the most beautiful woman in the world?” Yin Shengge smiled, suddenly feeling a bit envious of Yu Linglong.

Hearing this, Qin Gelan shook his head with a bitter smile.

He had to end this topic quickly and said: ”I promised Yu Linglong before to write a poem for her. This Book Mountain Assembly was just the right time.”

Hearing this, Yin Shengge’s clear eyes rolled around, and she tested him: ”Since Shengge has entered the Young Master’s Dharma Eye, do you have any poems to gift to Shengge?”

Why does everyone like to ask me for poems... Qin Gelan felt a bit of a headache.

Fortunately, when he was in school, his teacher forced him to memorize them every day, so he had memorized quite a few.

Seeing Yin Shengge’s expectant gaze, Qin Gelan couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded.

What else could he do? Write it, or rather, copy it.

Seeing Qin Gelan agree, Yin Shengge couldn’t help but look forward to it, and her heart was even more joyful.

Qin Gelan took out paper and a brush from his Storage Ring. Seeing this, the patrons in the Osmanthus Tower all wanted to come closer to watch.

But due to the reputations of Qin Gelan and Yin Shengge, they didn’t dare to approach. Moreover, they had heard that Qin Gelan defeated the Buddha Son of Spirit Mountain with one finger, so they were even more in awe of him.

Ignoring the others, Qin Gelan wrote gracefully on the paper:

Clouds remind one of her robes, and flowers of her face,

The spring breeze brushes the balcony, the dew is thick and fragrant.

If not seen atop the Qunyu Mountain,

She would surely be met beneath the moon at the Jade Terrace.

Back then, this poem, in terms of describing a beauty, suppressed the poetry of the entire Prosperous Tang, with no equal.

Looking at the poem Qin Gelan wrote for her, Yin Shengge’s eyes became dazed. Looking at the paper, she murmured softly: ”Clouds remind one of her robes, and flowers of her face...”

Suddenly, Yin Shengge seemed to have some realization, as if she were there in person, a faint Vast Righteous Qi began to condense within her body.

”The spring breeze brushes the balcony, the dew is thick and fragrant.”

When Yin Shengge recited the second line, the Vast Righteous Qi became thicker and even more pure.

”If not seen atop the Qunyu Mountain, she would surely be met beneath the moon at the Jade Terrace.”

At this moment, Yin Shengge’s beautiful and clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and tears like jade beads slid down her fair cheeks.

The Vast Righteous Qi condensed around Yin Shengge, drawing the attention of all the patrons. The young men who had participated in the Book Mountain Assembly even stood up.

They knew what this meant!

Yin Shengge had comprehended the Dao of the Vastness!

What terrifying talent! Even Dao Master Chu had immersed himself in the literary dao for tens of thousands of years before he gained some insight from Qin Gelan’s ’ode to linglong’ and entered the Dao of the Vastness.

To think that Yin Shengge also comprehended the Vastness today.

She seems... not even a hundred years old yet, right?

One must know that let alone being in one’s dozens, even being thousands of years old is considered very young in the cultivation world.

Comprehending the Vastness requires not only talent in the literary dao, but also an Opportunity, the right time, place, and people, as well as the Concept one is in.

Otherwise, Dao Master Chu wouldn’t have waited tens of thousands of years to welcome the Opportunity to enter the Dao of the Vastness.
