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

71: The crowd was shocked and scrambled for Qin Gelan.Hearing Luo Liuli call out to him, Qin Gelan nodded.

Qin Gelan walked towards the Emperor’s Mark Stele, deliberately suppressing his cultivation to the Immortal Venerable Seventh Heaven.

This would align with the cultivation level of the current prodigies.

In the Luohua Stream main hall, Yu Qingnuo and the various Elders perked up upon seeing Qin Gelan approach the Emperor’s Mark Stele.

They were eagerly anticipating Qin Gelan’s performance.

A longsword appeared in Qin Gelan’s hand. It was just an ordinary sword; he did not use Heaven’s Inch.

The Literary Sage had said Heaven’s Inch should not be revealed lightly. Although no one in this Plane would recognize it, it was better to be cautious.

Clang!

An incredibly sharp Sword Qi emanated from Qin Gelan’s body.

”Holy shit!”

”Primal Sword Intent!”

Zi Yang was utterly shocked once again, and even Luo Liuli’s expression changed slightly.

The highest attainment in the sword path, Primal Sword Intent. How was this possible?

Liu Yan’s face changed. Although Qin Gelan had performed monstrously in the first trial, he hadn’t believed Qin Gelan could be *this* monstrous.

This was Primal Sword Intent! Only Sword Cultivator Supremes could comprehend it, and even then, it wasn’t guaranteed.

Even Long Hao was startled by the Primal Sword Intent.

In the Luohua Stream main hall, the assembled big shots all widened their eyes.

”What a monstrous Junior! Sect Master, if this youth grows up, our Luohua Stream will produce another Supreme.”

”Indeed, this youth’s talent can be called that of a future Supreme.”

It wasn’t over. Qin Gelan’s blood energy pierced the heavens, golden phenomena filled the sky, and images of True Dragons, Divine Phoenixes, White Tigers, Black Tortoises, and other phenomena swirled around him.

At this, even Yu Qingnuo couldn’t remain seated and stood up directly.

”Great Accomplishment Saint Body!”

The Luohua Stream higher-ups exclaimed in unison.

”To think it was actually a Supreme Physique, and one that has reached Major Achievement!”

Now, the eyes of Luohua Stream’s various Elders held not only shock but also pleasant surprise.

This was a Great Accomplishment Saint Body!

A Supreme Physique, destined to be invincible among peers upon Attaining the Dao.

”Look, that’s... the Seven Great Eternal Daos of Destruction!”

”What kind of person is this? Not only has he comprehended Primal Sword Intent and possesses a Supreme Physique, he even has the Dao of Destruction.”

Naturally, Qin Gelan was unaware of the Luohua Stream higher-ups’ reactions.

Qin Gelan had deliberately revealed this to these higher-ups, solely to secure a higher position within Luohua Stream.

Only then would he have a chance to use the cross-Plane Teleportation Array.

Qin Gelan raised his hand, and his sword swept across the Emperor’s Mark Stele like a celestial stream of light.

Sword of Destruction!

Swoosh~

The sound of the sword rang out, ending in an instant. No mark was left on the Emperor’s Mark Stele.

Zi Yang’s eyes widened.

He was already overwhelmed with shock, and now he found it somewhat unbelievable.

No mark?

How was that possible!

Luo Liuli also frowned. That shouldn’t be. Did his strike miss?

But just then, a faint ’crack’ sound was heard.

The Emperor’s Mark Stele split cleanly in two from the middle. The break was smooth, with traces of the Power of Destruction lingering on it.

”This...” Zi Yang stared dumbfounded at the scene.

The people who had come for the second trial all gaped, their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.

This was too absurd!

Too exaggerated!

To directly split the Emperor’s Mark Stele in two—what level of destructive power was required?

Moreover, judging by the cut left by the Sword Qi, the control of force was impeccable; no other part of the stele was damaged.

At this moment, Liu Yan, Long Hao, and Ye Chenyu fell silent, whether from being demoralized or for other reasons.

They had thought the three of them were impressive enough, but they hadn’t expected a dark horse to emerge.

This wasn’t a dark horse; it was a black dragon.

With talent like this, why are you even taking the trial? To crush people’s spirits?

”Ahem... sorry, I didn’t hold back enough and broke the Emperor’s Mark Stele...” Qin Gelan looked somewhat awkwardly at Zi Yang.

Only now did Zi Yang snap out of it. He swallowed hard and said with a bitter smile, ”I think you don’t need to participate in the third round of the trial.”

Hearing this, Qin Gelan smiled and said, ”That wouldn’t be appropriate...”

Luo Liuli also spoke up, agreeing with Zi Yang’s words: ”You truly don’t need to take the third trial. The third round involves withstanding an Immortal Emperor’s aura, followed by a ranking battle.”

”For someone with a Great Accomplishment Saint Body like yours, that would be effortless. As for the ranking battle, with your Immortal Venerable Seventh Heaven strength, probably no one would be your match.”

”Then, would I become a Personal Disciple?” Qin Gelan suddenly asked.

Zi Yang’s face twitched. A Personal Disciple?

Kid, your vision is too narrow... Luo Liuli thought for a moment and said, ”If nothing unexpected happens, you might become...”

”Might become what?” Qin Gelan pressed.

”You might become a Saint,” Zi Yang said.

After saying this, seeing Luo Liuli’s eyes drift elsewhere, he immediately stopped speaking.

Since ancient times, it has been an unwritten rule that Saints and Saintesses become Dao Companions.

”A Saint?”

Now Qin Gelan couldn’t stay calm... Don’t joke around. I’m just here for a cross-Plane Teleportation Array. If I really have to become a Saint, I’d be tied down here.

Seems I used too much force. I should have held back earlier, at least not surpassing Luo Liuli.

Qin Gelan hadn’t considered this before, but now it was too late.

Seeing Qin Gelan looking as if he’d rather die, Zi Yang, Liu Yan, Long Hao, and the other trial participants felt a pang of heartache.

Who are you making that aggrieved face for?

If it were anyone else, they’d be begging for this opportunity.

Luo Liuli also looked at Qin Gelan with a strange expression. Seeing him frown slightly, she wondered if he had cultivated some special technique.

What if... he’s... incapable?

As Luo Liuli’s thoughts wandered, she suddenly received a voice transmission and nodded.

”My Revered Master wants me to bring you over,” Luo Liuli said, looking at Qin Gelan.

Afterwards, Zi Yang stayed behind to oversee the remaining trials, and Qin Gelan was taken away by Luo Liuli... Over Luohua Stream’s sea of clouds, Qin Gelan marveled. Compared to the layouts of Linglong Island, the Hall of Gods, and other powers, this was in no way inferior.

But it made sense. The Tianqi Realm was divided among three major powers, so having this scale wasn’t surprising.

Not long after, they arrived at the central main hall. Several Elders sat in high positions within the hall, with Sect Master Yu Qingnuo seated in the very center.

Luo Liuli secretly informed Qin Gelan about Sect Master Yu Qingnuo and the dozen or so Ravine Revered Masters and Elders present.

”Luohua Stream has a total of one hundred and eight islands, twelve ravines, and one stream. The ’one stream’ is Luohua Stream itself. Only Saints and Saintesses can Cultivate within Luohua Stream,” Qin Gelan received Luo Liuli’s secret voice transmission.

”Little fellow, how about coming to my Flowing Water Ravine? You’ll directly become a Personal Disciple, and I, this old man, will definitely Cultivate you with all my effort,” Ravine Revered Master Feng Changkong of Flowing Water Ravine was the first to speak.

As soon as Feng Changkong spoke, the other Ravine Revered Masters couldn’t sit still.

”Feng Changkong, this kid’s sword path attainment is extraordinary. You can’t teach him. He’d be better off coming to my Sword Gorge,” said Sword Gorge Revered Master Ye Jingyun, a middle-aged Sword Cultivator who was a High-Rank Immortal Emperor.

”The Ancient Desolate Sacred Body is a Supreme Physique. Coming to my Molten Rock Ravine is the best choice.”

”When it comes to Daoist Magic, my Starry Sky Ravine suits him better!”

”I think he should come to my Alchemy Hall. At the very least, he won’t lack Medicinal Pills for his cultivation,” the Alchemy Hall Master stroked his beard and said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, he was immediately targeted by everyone.

”Go to hell! What business does your Alchemy Hall have meddling?”

”Go cool off somewhere else!”

”Get lost!”

The Alchemy Hall Master immediately fell silent.

Watching the various Ravine Revered Masters getting red-faced and worked up, Qin Gelan felt a bit embarrassed.

Sitting at the highest position in the center, Yu Qingnuo also massaged her temples before stopping the squabbling.

”Qin Gelan, from this moment on, you are the Saint of Luohua Stream!” Yu Qingnuo declared decisively, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Qin Gelan’s face looked as if he’d swallowed a dead rat... ”Can I... not be the Saint?”
