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

89: Demon Realm, Demon Emperor Holy ApeLuohua Stream.

Three full months had passed since the recent storm. Qin Gelan’s cultivation had also been exposed as being at the Third Heaven Immortal Emperor Realm; as for the level of cultivation he displayed during his fight with Yun Zhongtian, he had managed to find an excuse to brush it off.

Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable had headed to the Monster Realm before departing. During the three years in the Secret Realm, Qin Gelan had told Grand Profound Supreme about his origins—referring, of course, to Xuanhuang Heaven.

He had also told Grand Profound Supreme about the Empress Attaining the Dao, her being ambushed, and the need for the Monster Realm’s Flat Peaches. When Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable learned it was an Innate Divine Phoenix Body who had Attained the Dao, she nodded with great satisfaction.

However, her brow furrowed upon hearing about the ambush... The Monster Realm was a Dominator Plane of the Western Universe, and together with the Lesser Heaven Realm of the West, it ruled over the Western Universe.

The Monster Realm was vast and boundless, not at all weaker than Xuanhuang Heaven. Within the Monster Realm, demons gathered, and various types of monsters were too numerous to count.

Of course, human powers also existed there, but they were a tiny minority; the Monster Realm was still dominated by demons.

There were two rulers in the Monster Realm: one was the Sea God who ruled the oceans, and the other was the Demon Emperor Sage Ape who ruled the land.

With two supreme powerhouses guarding it, the Monster Realm’s status as a Dominator Plane was unshakable. In the Western Universe, only the Lesser Heaven Realm of the West, also a Dominator Plane, could rival the Monster Realm.

At this moment, an uninvited guest arrived in the Monster Realm.

The newcomer was none other than Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable. Looking at the vast lands of the Monster Realm, she seemed to recall scenes from years ago.

Then, Grand Profound Supreme took a step forward and vanished from the spot.

Grand Profound Supreme arrived at a canyon in the Monster Realm where evil energy surged. Below the canyon, countless iron chains were densely intertwined; as the evil energy touched the chains, they emitted a tinkling sound.

These iron chains seemed to be sealing something.

Grand Profound Supreme’s brow furrowed as she muttered to herself, ”The Seal is starting to weaken. Hmm? No, there is a supreme power present. This aura... Little Monkey?”

In Dongsheng Divine Continent of the Monster Realm, in a place resembling a fairyland where exotic flowers bloomed, a golden-furred Ape sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He lacked the typical restlessness of his kind, appearing instead like a refined master cultivating his character.

Suddenly, the Ape opened his eyes. Golden light burst from them as if flames were dancing within.

”Who dares to intrude upon the Sealed Land!” The Ape bared his teeth, revealing white and sharp fangs.

The Ape stood up and beckoned with his hand. A wooden staff flew over; with a tremor of his hand, wood chips fell away to reveal a brilliant golden light—a golden iron staff!

The Ape directly tore through space and appeared at the Sealed Land.

This Ape was one of the supreme powerhouses of the Monster Realm—the Demon Emperor Sage Ape!

Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable also noticed the appearance of the Demon Emperor, seeing in him the shadow of an old friend.

”Who dares to trespass in the Sealed Land!” the Demon Emperor said coldly, looking at Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable.

”Are you a descendant of the Sage Emperor?” Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable replied.

The Demon Emperor’s brow furrowed as he asked, ”Who are you?”

He could sense that this woman was extremely strong, but she was merely a remnant soul. Nevertheless, he could feel a strength from her that was no weaker than an Extreme Dao Supreme Being.

”Tianqi Realm, Tai Xuan,” Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable said.

Upon hearing her state her origin, the Demon Emperor’s divine eyes widened, and he spoke, ”Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable?”

Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable nodded.

The Demon Emperor withdrew his imposing aura and said, ”I wonder what business brings the Heavenly Venerable to the Monster Realm?”

Knowing it was Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable, the Demon Emperor naturally became much more polite. His ancestors had once been close friends with her; by that reckoning, Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable was his Senior.

”I wish to ask you for an item,” Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable said.

The Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. ”The Heavenly Venerable must be joking. Whatever you need, just say the word. There is no need to ’ask’.”

”Flat Peach.”

Hearing ’Flat Peach’, the Demon Emperor hesitated, but still spoke: ”It is not that I am unwilling to part with a Flat Peach, but given your current state, Heavenly Venerable, even an immortal elixir would be hard-pressed to...”

The Demon Emperor did not finish his sentence. In Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable’s current state as a remnant soul, no medicine could save her.

”If the Heavenly Venerable wishes to take a gamble, I can certainly gift you a Flat Peach to try,” the Demon Emperor said.

Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable shook her head. ”I am not asking for the Flat Peach for myself.”

The Demon Emperor’s brow furrowed. ”Could it be for a descendant of yours?”

The Supreme thought for a moment and nodded. ”Though he is not my true descendant, he can be considered my junior.”

These words were ambiguous; not a descendant, but a junior. ’Junior’ did not just refer to someone younger, but someone like a disciple or a ward.

”Who is it?” the Demon Emperor asked.

”A young man. He will arrive before long,” Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable replied.

”Since he is your junior, out of respect for you and my ancestors, I agree.” Out of respect for Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable and his ancestors, the Demon Emperor had to give this Face.

Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable smiled and said, ”Don’t worry, I won’t take the Flat Peach for nothing. With this remnant soul of mine, I can lend a helping hand to reinforce this Seal’s power.”

Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable’s single look made even the habitually arrogant Demon Emperor feel a sense of respect: ”Senior, there is no need for this.”

”I am already a dead person. If this remnant soul can still do something for this world, it will not have existed in vain.”

”However, although the thing inside is sealed, the hidden danger remains. Perhaps my junior can completely resolve this threat.”

With that, Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable’s remnant soul rushed down into the sunless canyon. Bursts of light flickered, and a sound of ghostly wailing and wolf howling came from below as the evil energy suddenly intensified.

The Demon Emperor swung his iron staff, dispersing the evil energy.

After a long time, obscure runes appeared on the iron chains sealing the canyon, and the suppression of the evil energy grew stronger.

This was the handiwork of Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable’s lingering remnant soul.

The Demon Emperor bowed solemnly toward the bottom of the canyon. Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable’s actions were so similar to those of his ancestor.

”Since Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable thinks so highly of that junior, I shall test him. If he can truly withstand the test, what’s the harm in giving him the Flat Peach?” the Demon Emperor muttered to himself.

But even if the youth failed the test, he would still give the peach, as he had already promised Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable.

The Demon Emperor returned to Dongsheng Divine Continent and stood on a mountain peak, letting out a profound Dao sound: ”All who can hear my voice, come see me!”

The Dao sound reached the ears of all the major powerhouses in the Monster Realm.

In an instant, everything that could walk on the land or fly in the sky of the Monster Realm heard it.

”Lord Demon Emperor!”

”Is something major about to happen?”

”Go! To Dongsheng Divine Continent, to Demon Emperor Mountain.”

The entire Monster Realm was in an uproar. Whether Immortal Venerables or Immortal Emperors, all headed toward Demon Emperor Mountain as if going to an audience with their king.

When the Demon Emperor’s command was issued, ten thousand demons came to pay court!

Qin Gelan, who was in the Tianqi Realm, naturally knew nothing of what was happening in the Monster Realm. At this moment, he was being interrogated by Luo Liuli.

”So you’re from the Xuanhuang Realm?” Luo Liuli was somewhat angry.

Qin Gelan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded.

”So your cultivation has always been at the Immortal Emperor level?” Luo Liuli continued to press.

Qin Gelan still nodded.

”Speak!” Luo Liuli snapped. Seeing Qin Gelan only knowing how to nod, an inexplicable fire rose in her heart.

She wasn’t angry about where Qin Gelan came from or how high his cultivation was; she was angry that he had even hidden it from her.

Qin Gelan gave a bitter smile and went behind Luo Liuli to massage her shoulders in a fawning manner. ”Senior Sister, I indeed come from Xuanhuang Heaven. When I first came to Luohua Stream, I did have other motives.”

”But I swear, after spending this time together, I already consider you my Senior Sister—my closest Senior Sister!”

Hearing Qin Gelan’s sweet words, Luo Liuli’s anger dissipated quite a bit, but she still asked with a stern Face, ”What were your motives?”

Just as Qin Gelan was about to explain, Qi Xuanxuan sent a voice transmission asking Qin Gelan to see him.
