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

148: There’s a problem with the rules of the Sky Road.Qin Gelan sighed softly in his heart; how could he not know Yu Linglong’s feelings?

Even Qin Gelan could not remain indifferent.

Qin Gelan walked up to Yu Linglong and wiped away her tears, his voice gentle as he spoke, ”You can always trust Qin Gelan, and Qin Gelan will always be by your side.”

”You’ll always be a bastard, but the more of a bastard you are, the more I like you.”

Yu Linglong smiled happily. After all these years, she had finally heard Qin Gelan speak his mind. A wave of joy surged in her heart as she leaned into Qin Gelan’s embrace. At this moment, the two finally bared their hearts to each other.

”Was it you who helped me defeat the Pass Guardian just now?” Yu Linglong suddenly remembered and looked up at Qin Gelan.

In her heart, Qin Gelan could achieve everything impossible, from the Hall of Gods back then to Book Mountain later, and then to the Realm War.

To Yu Linglong, Qin Gelan seemed omnipotent.

”I struck from the fiftieth pass across the barriers. Not only that, but I can peer into everything within any pass I’ve cleared. If anything unexpected happens, I can intervene across the passes to help.”

Having received Qin Gelan’s affirmative answer, Yu Linglong was already used to it. She knew Qin Gelan had many tricks up his sleeve, but she was smart enough not to ask too much.

”However, next, I need to help the others pass smoothly. The Pass Guardian of the forty-ninth pass is a major hurdle.” Qin Gelan looked back.

Immediately, Qin Gelan sat cross-legged, and the Vertical Eye on his forehead opened.

At the end of the forty-ninth pass, Xue Qingcheng also began her challenge. Compared to Yu Linglong, Xue Qingcheng was actually holding her own against the Pass Guardian.

This was because Yu Linglong’s attacks had been countered by the Pass Guardian, preventing her from exerting her original strength.

However, Xue Qingcheng couldn’t secure a victory immediately either. Just as she and the Pass Guardian were at a stalemate...

Boom!

A giant hand slapped down, killing the Pass Guardian.

”That attack again!” Zhong Xuan’s brow furrowed.

Xue Qingcheng, just like Yu Linglong, obtained the complete law fragments.

”Wait, she...”

”Is this cheating?”

”Who on earth is attacking?”

Everyone was somewhat stunned, and a clamor broke out.

”It seems Qin Gelan must be acting in the shadows; otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence,” the Demon Prince sent a voice transmission to the others.

Although Xue Qingcheng didn’t know exactly who was helping, she didn’t overthink it and crossed over to the next pass.

When Xue Qingcheng arrived at the fiftieth pass and saw Qin Gelan, she understood everything instantly.

Next was Li Yuan’s turn.

Boom!

After Li Yuan had only exchanged a few blows, a giant hand appeared and killed the Pass Guardian. Li Yuan passed the level easily as well.

Li Yi stepped forward.

Boom!

Before she even started, the moment the Pass Guardian appeared, it was killed.

”What the hell...”

”They aren’t even acting anymore, are they? They’ve stopped pretending and are just killing them outright?”

”This is fucking cheating!” Someone finally couldn’t help but curse.

Everyone voiced their dissatisfaction at this scene, but it was to no avail.

Subsequently, the same happened for Jade Qilin Son and Yu Liner. As soon as they stepped forward, the Pass Guardian was slapped to death, and they passed smoothly.

They obtained the complete law fragments.

When it was the Demon Prince’s turn, Qin Gelan did not intervene. He knew the Demon Prince would not want his help.

Sure enough, with the Demon Prince’s combat power, he eventually killed the Pass Guardian after several dozen rounds and successfully cleared the pass.

Shen Yan also passed smoothly without any surprises. With an ultimate dao immortal artifact, clearing the pass was not difficult.

By now, all the people around Qin Gelan had passed one after another.

Among the crowd, there were also people from Xuanhuang Heaven who began to Challenge the Pass. Under Qin Gelan’s repeated interventions, the Prodigies of Xuanhuang Heaven didn’t even have to fight; they passed smoothly.

”I get it! For top-tier Prodigies like the Demon Prince, that power won’t appear, but if someone is relatively weaker, it will grant them passage directly.” Someone exclaimed, feeling they had seen through everything.

”You don’t know shit; someone is clearly acting from the shadows.” Someone countered.

”If someone were acting in secret, could you sense the source of that power? Besides, this power is something we’ve never seen before; it’s full of mystery.”

These words made everyone in front of the pass nod in agreement.

”It must be that something is wrong with the Heavenly Road’s rules,” someone speculated.

Indeed, if someone were acting in secret, they would have sensed something, and there would be an aura revealed.

Moreover, they had never seen this mysterious power before. Perhaps something really was wrong with the Heavenly Road’s rules.

Thinking of this, some were eager to try. If something was wrong with the Heavenly Road’s rules, who knew how long it would last? It was best to Challenge the Pass while the opportunity remained.

Someone took the lead and charged straight at the Pass Guardian.

Pfft!

In an instant, the Pass Guardian killed the challenger with a single sword strike.

”Holy crap!”

Seeing the Prodigy who had rushed ahead get wiped out by a single sword strike, the observer’s mind cleared instantly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

If he had gone up just now, he would have likely been the one killed by that sword. He secretly felt lucky.

”This...”

Some people’s faces looked as miserable as if they had eaten a dead rat.

Something was wrong with the Heavenly Road’s rules?

This fucking sword strike killed the challenger in one go; you call this a problem?

Luckily, they didn’t listen to that guy’s nonsense, or they might have lost their lives here.

The person who had previously said something was wrong with the Heavenly Road’s rules had already hidden in the crowd, not daring to show his face.

”What the fuck are you all thinking? Why aren’t you joining forces to Challenge the Pass? Do you think you can face the Pass Guardian alone?” A Prodigy from a higher Plane stepped out and shouted. Only then did everyone snap out of it and join forces to fight.

Meanwhile, Qin Gelan and the others at the fiftieth pass gathered together.

As for the people behind them, what did their life or death have to do with him?

”I guessed earlier that you were acting in the shadows, and it seems I was right.” The Demon Prince downed a jar of wine.

They hadn’t seen Qin Gelan for two hundred years. Now reunited, they began to enjoy wine and conversation, clinking glasses.

”I didn’t expect two hundred years to pass in the blink of an eye,” Li Yuan sighed.

”What are two hundred years? For a cultivator, two hundred years is just a single session of secluded meditation.” Qin Gelan smiled.

”But for us, two hundred years is a very long time.” Xue Qingcheng drank a cup of fine wine, her cheeks slightly flushed.

”Exactly, two hundred years is quite a long time for us.”

The others agreed, and Qin Gelan also thought it made sense, so he continued to eat meat and drink wine.

Just then, a voice rang out.

”Let me out, I want to eat too!”

The voice sounded somewhat immature, yet it carried an ancient air.

Hearing the voice, everyone instantly sobered up.

”Who is it!” The Demon Prince immediately became alert... By the campfire, Feng Ling was gnawing on a large bone and drinking wine. The Demon Prince and the others looked at Qin Gelan with strange expressions, then at Feng Ling.

”No, you’ve misunderstood.”
