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

68: Heavenly Prayer Realm, Fallen Flower StreamOn Book Mountain.

”Senior, did you know I was coming?” Qin Gelan asked.

The Literary Sage’s aged hands were pouring tea, and he slowly set the teacup down.

”A few days ago, I sensed that Phoenix Girl’s Dao was becoming unstable, showing signs of dissipating. After a bit of deduction, I understood the reason.” The Literary Sage sighed.

He glanced at Qin Gelan and said, ”Be careful on this trip to the Monster Realm. If something cannot be done, do not force it.”

Like the Empress, he believed that obtaining the Flat Peach would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

”Rest assured, Senior. This Junior knows what he is doing.” Qin Gelan nodded.

”This is a hunyuan fruit. See if you can use it to strike a deal with the Monster Realm. Although the possibility is slim, it is worth a try.” The Literary Sage took out a black-and-white fruit.

The fruit emitted a raw and obscure Dao charm; it was clearly extraordinary.

This was Book Mountain’s immortal elixir!

From Book Mountain’s Hunyuan Root, only two or three hunyuan fruits are born in each era, making them extremely precious.

An era could be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years; there was no fixed length.

In other words, the hunyuan fruit was prepared for the people of an entire era and would not be used lightly.

”Senior... this.” Qin Gelan hesitated. He hadn’t expected the Literary Sage to just give it to him.

The Literary Sage waved his hand and said, ”As an elder, I failed to protect Phoenix Girl back then. Consider this a small compensation from me.”

Qin Gelan’s expression turned solemn as he bowed to the Literary Sage. This was on behalf of Xi Huang, but also out of respect.

Even if the Literary Sage hadn’t protected Xi Huang during her Attaining the Dao, no one would have blamed him. Qin Gelan admired such broad-mindedness and character.

The Literary Sage looked at Qin Gelan with a solemn and expectant tone. ”You were right back then: with great strength comes great responsibility. As a Supreme of Xuanhuang Heaven, it is our duty to protect it. I hope you can also shoulder the responsibility of protection in the future.”

Qin Gelan nodded. Although his Soul came from another world, he had grown fond of Xuanhuang Heaven, moving from initial estrangement to a current sense of belonging.

This could be seen from past grievances.

He had once made an enemy of the Hall of Gods and eventually forcibly took their divine hall.

However, in recent years, when external Supremes repeatedly invaded Xuanhuang Heaven, all the Supremes stood united against the outsiders.

Whether it was Qin Gelan Tracing the True Self or the Empress Attaining the Dao, they dealt with external enemies first without question, and the Heavenly God was no exception.

”Also, the Heaven’s Inch must not be used lightly. Although few recognize it, there are always exceptions.” The Literary Sage spoke bluntly to Qin Gelan.

Qin Gelan was startled; he hadn’t expected the Literary Sage to know the Heaven’s Inch was in his hands.

”The ten great extreme dao immortal artifacts have been passed down for ages. A supreme dao soul can sense them. Previously, the literary dao primordial pen also sensed it.”

”The Saint Ape of the Yao Realm possesses the sea calming divine needle, ranked eighth among ultimate dao immortal artifacts. On this trip to the Monster Realm, unless necessary, it’s best not to reveal the existence of the Heaven’s Inch.” The Literary Sage gave further instructions.

Regarding the Literary Sage’s advice, Qin Gelan followed the principle of listening to advice to stay safe. He nodded and said, ”I will keep your words in mind, Senior.”

”Alright, I have nothing else to advise you. There is a cross-realm Teleportation Array on Book Mountain. You need to go to the Tianqi Realm in the Western Universe first to reach the Monster Realm.”

The Literary Sage led Qin Gelan to a magnificent Teleportation Array, explaining the coordinates and other Planes in the Western Universe to watch out for.

Finally, Qin Gelan departed using Book Mountain’s cross-realm Teleportation Array.

As the Teleportation Array activated, Qin Gelan felt the endless Void Realm. Stars sparkled around him, and a boundless Plane entered his sight.

Stars revolved around this massive Plane like specks of dust.

This was the Xuanhuang Realm!

Qin Gelan had already left the Xuanhuang Realm. Sitting on his spatial mustard seed ship, he watched the Xuanhuang Realm gradually vanish. The spatial mustard seed ship leaped continuously through the void, crossing countless Planes.

For an entire year, Qin Gelan sat on the spatial mustard seed ship, leaping through the endless void.

Finally, one day, a Plane rich in Spiritual Qi appeared before him. Qin Gelan showed a long-awaited smile; this must be the Tianqi Realm Senior Literary Sage mentioned.

Over the past year, Qin Gelan had done nothing but Cultivate. Now that he had finally arrived at the Tianqi Realm, he felt somewhat invigorated.

After a series of leaps, the spatial mustard seed ship finally reached the ground of the Tianqi Realm.

Although the Tianqi Realm couldn’t compare to Supreme Planes like Xuanhuang Heaven, it was still a powerful realm with a Supreme presiding over it.

After traveling around the Tianqi Realm for a bit, he gained an understanding of the distribution of power there.

There were three major Supreme-level forces in the Tianqi Realm: the Demon Flame Divine Hall, the Luohua Stream, and the Shen Tian Sect, forming a tripartite balance of power.

Cross-realm Teleportation Arrays were only held by these three Supreme forces, meaning that to go to the Monster Realm, he had to use one of their arrays.

Qin Gelan was currently in the territory of the Luohua Stream. After some thought, he decided to become a Disciple of the Luohua Stream first.

This wasn’t Xuanhuang Heaven. In Xuanhuang Heaven, the Literary Sage could protect him as long as he didn’t actively cause trouble, but this wasn’t the case here. He had to be careful.

Unless necessary, Qin Gelan didn’t want to use his remaining strongest immortal emperor card.

Without delay, he tore through space and headed toward the Luohua Stream.

After three days of travel, he reached the Luohua Stream. Rather than a stream, it was more like a peerless immortal paradise; the scenery of the Luohua Stream was no less beautiful than that of Linglong Island.

Every corner exuded aesthetic beauty, living up to the name Luohua.

”Look, that’s Liu Yan, the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty.”

”Tsk, I didn’t expect Liu Yan to participate in the Luohua Stream’s Disciple examination. I heard he’s already broken through to the 5th level of Immortal Venerable. He might reach the high-rank Immortal Venerable level before the Myriad Realms Prodigy Battle.”

”Although Liu Yan could have become a Luohua Stream Disciple directly, he is so arrogant that he probably wants to rely on his own strength to stun everyone.”

Outside the Luohua Stream, many young talents looked toward a man dressed in a fiery red robe.

Liu Yan was surrounded by followers, like the stars surrounding the moon.

At that moment, a flood dragon swept across the sky. A handsome young man stood on the dragon’s head, looking down.

”That’s Long Hao of the Dragon Transformation Sect!”

”Long Hao is here too!”

”It seems Liu Yan has a rival this time.”

Liu Yan looked at Long Hao with a solemn expression. This was a Prodigy of the same level as him, giving him some pressure.

”Look! The Saintess of the Flower Sect, Ye Chenyu!”

”As expected of the Flower Sect Saintess, she is truly peerlessly beautiful!”

”In terms of looks, perhaps only the Saintess of the Luohua Stream can surpass Ye Chenyu.”

A woman walked as if lotuses were blooming with every step. Her beauty was indeed enough to make fish sink and birds fall from the sky.

Qin Gelan glanced at her without any expression. Compared to the Empress, Yu Linglong, and Xue Qingcheng, this Ye Chenyu was still a bit lacking.

While everyone was discussing, a woman in pure white clothes, looking like a Heavenly Immortal, appeared on the Luohua Platform, followed by several male Disciples.

The Luohua Platform was the entry examination site for the Luohua Stream; only by passing the examination could one become a Disciple.

But everyone ignored the male Disciples, their eyes fixed on the pure white woman in the center of the Luohua Platform.

The Saintess of the Luohua Stream—Luo Liuli!

Many eyes showed obsession. Even Liu Yan and Long Hao were stunned. Luo Liuli seemed as if she didn’t belong to the mortal world, dressed in pure white and radiating Immortal Qi.

Even Qin Gelan, with his critical eye, nodded in appreciation. The grace Luo Liuli displayed was not at all inferior to Yu Linglong and the others.

Luo Liuli looked calmly at the candidates. Her voice was like flowing spring water, yet cool like clear water. ”Candidates, step onto the Luohua Platform.”
