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

178: The Master Strategist (Two chapters combined into one)A hundred years had passed.

Qin Xian’er had stirred up great waves in the Evil Clan Universe and had also been besieged and hunted by Supreme Beings.

However, with the life-saving means given by her father, she managed to escape each time by the skin of her teeth.

Over these years, Qin Xian’er had rampaged through the Evil Clan Universe, sweeping aside countless Evil Clan Prodigies.

At a place littered with Evil Clan corpses, Qin Xian’er, her body stained with flowing blood, was healing her wounds alone, yet her expression remained unchanged, still as stubborn as ever.

”Young Miss...”

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon hidden in the shadows watched with a pained heart. He had been following Qin Xian’er for a hundred years of training.

Every time Qin Xian’er was injured, he wanted to intervene, but he also knew that with Qin Xian’er’s stubborn nature, she would be angry if she discovered he was secretly following her.

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon had witnessed Qin Xian’er’s growth and couldn’t help but marvel at her Heaven-Defying Aptitude. In merely a hundred years, she was almost ready to Attain the Dao and become a Supreme Being.

Suddenly, Qin Xian’er stood up, sensing several auras catching up.

Three young members of the Evil Clan arrived. One of them looked at Qin Xian’er and spoke, ”Are you the daughter of the Human Emperor?”

Qin Xian’er said nothing more. A sword appeared in her hand. This was Qin Gelan’s Heaven’s Inch, though its Extreme Dao Power was sealed by Qin Gelan; otherwise, Qin Xian’er wouldn’t be able to wield it.

This was the gift Qin Gelan gave Qin Xian’er upon her coming of age, a testament to how much he doted on his youngest daughter.

*Clang~!*

A sword strike swept forth. The young Evil Clan powerhouse exclaimed loudly, ”Truly worthy of being the Human Emperor’s daughter! With such combat power, you can already fight against a Dao Entry Supreme Being!”

All three of them were Supreme Beings who had Attained the Dao through Supreme Bodies, yet they felt a sense of threat from Qin Xian’er.

”Not good!”

One of them shouted. In that instant, a sword strike imbued with the Power of Reincarnation engulfed him.

In a mere moment, Qin Xian’er had slain one Supreme Being.

Seeing this, the remaining two turned to flee, but Qin Xian’er would not let them escape.

*Boom!*

A brilliant sword flash streaked across, and the three Supreme Beings were slain on the spot.

”What a fine daughter of the Human Emperor!”

A power that even made Qin Xian’er feel suffocated descended.

Qin Xian’er frowned. Evil Emperor!

”The Human Emperor truly looks down on us. To dare let you enter our Evil Clan Universe with only one Extreme Dao being by your side.”

However, Qin Xian’er frowned, instantly understanding: her father had secretly arranged a guardian for her.

Yet, Qin Xian’er felt very displeased in her heart.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

”Back then, the Human Emperor killed our clan’s Evil God. Today, his daughter shall serve as compensation!”

Two more Evil Emperors descended. A giant hand reached out to capture Qin Xian’er.

”Trash of the Evil Clan, how dare you touch my Young Miss!”

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon could no longer hide. Its dragon body swept forward, shielding Qin Xian’er behind it.

”Uncle Long!”

Qin Xian’er called out.

”Young Miss, don’t worry. With me here, they won’t harm a single hair on your head.”

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon said to Qin Xian’er.

”Hmph! Star-Forging Illusory Dragon, if not for the Evil Ancestor, would you still be alive today?”

An Evil Emperor roared, charging towards the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon.

Three Evil Emperors and the Star-Chasing Illusory Dragon jointly attacked the Star-Chasing Illusory Dragon.

The commotion here attracted the attention of various powerful figures from the Evil Clan, who rushed towards this location.

”Capture the Human Emperor’s daughter alive!”

A Supreme Being who spotted Qin Xian’er shouted. One after another, Evil Clan Supreme Beings charged towards Qin Xian’er.

Qin Xian’er tightly gripped the Heaven’s Inch, her slender fingers wiping across the blade. She was going to undo the Seal on the Heaven’s Inch.

Although doing so might cause her to suffer backlash from the Extreme Dao Power, she couldn’t afford to care about that now.

Just as Qin Xian’er was about to undo the Seal, two figures appeared before her.

”Uncle Li! Uncle Jade!”

The figures appearing before Qin Xian’er were precisely Li Yuan and Jade Qilin Son. With Qin Gelan’s help, the two had broken through to the Extreme Dao Supreme Being Realm five thousand years ago.

”Xian’er, don’t be afraid. With Uncle Li here, they can’t hurt you.” Li Yuan gave Qin Xian’er a gentle smile.

Jade Qilin Son also nodded towards Qin Xian’er.

”Young Miss, we’re here too!”

Five more Vicious Beast figures appeared in the sky above: Taowu, Kui Niu, Zhu Yan, Tian Gou, and Zheng, forming a protective formation to guard Qin Xian’er’s path.

This scene shocked even the Evil Emperors. So many Extreme Dao Supreme Beings acting as guardians for Qin Xian’er... it showed just how much the Human Emperor valued his youngest daughter... Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Realm.

Divine thunderbolts descended one after another. Moreover, countless tribulations of destruction filled the air.

The majestic heavenly might was like the end of the world!

Qin Gelan used his great power to separate these great tribulations from the Heavenly Realm.

Within the great tribulation, a Divine Phoenix cried out.

The Female Emperor was Attaining the Dao to become a Flawless Supreme Being!

Such a formidable display, even with Qin Gelan blocking it, shook the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms. Even the Evil Clan Universe could sense it. The Demon Emperor and the Profound Emperor stood guard over the Universe, protecting her path.

At that moment, an evil gaze looked over.

The evil power was blocked by Qin Gelan, who looked towards those eyes.

”Scram!”

Qin Gelan’s rebuke made the gaze retreat.

The Demon Emperor and the Profound Emperor also looked towards the Evil Clan Universe.

The Profound Emperor took a step forward, heading towards the Evil Clan Universe.

From that brief clash, Qin Gelan already had a measure of the Evil Ancestor’s strength and paid it no further mind.

The great tribulation, overwhelming as it was, bombarded the Female Emperor for a full month.

Throughout the great tribulation, the Female Emperor always kept the flame of her life from extinguishing.

In the end, the great tribulation could no longer do anything to the Female Emperor.

The Female Emperor opened her eyes, devoured and refined the final Heavenly Tribulation, and released an aura that shook the world.

Attaining the Dao to become Flawless! At this moment, the Female Emperor had also reached this step. Such an aura was unprecedented, shining through the ages!

The great Universe began to tremble. Another Invincible Being had been born in the Heavenly Realm!

A smile appeared on Qin Gelan’s face. He arrived by the Female Emperor’s side and simultaneously looked towards the Evil Clan Universe.

There, a great battle was unfolding. The Profound Emperor had engaged an Evil God in combat.

The Demon Emperor, not willing to be left behind, also fought against an Evil God.

The stars of the Universe dimmed. Meanwhile, under the protection of the crowd, Qin Xian’er also returned to the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

”Come back.” Qin Gelan called out.

The Demon Emperor and the Profound Emperor both retreated back to the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

”Father, Mother.” Qin Xian’er had returned. Upon learning that her mother had also Attained the Dao to become Flawless, her face showed even greater joy.

”Xian’er, after a hundred years of training, it’s time to properly consolidate your gains.” The Female Emperor said, looking at Qin Xian’er.

Qin Xian’er nodded, then turned her gaze to Qin Gelan.

After a moment of silence, she asked, ”Father, why don’t you just eradicate the Evil Clan and let the other heavenly dao origin return?”

Qin Gelan smiled, reaching out to pat Qin Xian’er’s head. ”No rush. A big fish hasn’t taken the bait yet. Besides, do you think the Evil Clan Universe only has the Evil Ancestor?”

”Isn’t the Evil Ancestor the strongest in the Evil Clan?” Qin Xian’er was puzzled.

”Xian’er, these aren’t things you should worry about. With your father here, the Evil Clan won’t be able to cause any trouble.” The Female Emperor spoke.

Qin Xian’er nodded and returned to the Heavenly Palace.

”That Heavenly Master is very cautious. The Evil Ancestor has been awake for so many years, yet he hasn’t made a move?”

The Female Emperor frowned, looking at Qin Gelan.

”Don’t worry, he won’t be able to sit still. The Emperor Lord and the Heavenly Emperor are hidden in the shadows. He’s not sure if these two have truly perished.”

Qin Gelan appeared very calm and composed, his eyes filled with wisdom.

Qin Gelan looked inside the Heavenly Palace and said softly, ”Although Xian’er’s cultivation has Advanced rapidly these years, it is not perfect.”

”Not perfect?” The Female Emperor was somewhat confused.

Regarding Qin Xian’er, no one could find any fault. However, since Qin Gelan said so, the Female Emperor wouldn’t doubt it.

”Xian’er broke through to Immortal Emperor too early and missed out on some things.” Qin Gelan’s voice was gentle. He continued, ”When she Attains the Dao and becomes a Supreme, I will forcibly sever her Realm. Even if Xian’er has to cultivate again from scratch later, there will be no hindrance whatsoever.”

The Female Emperor’s beautiful eyes focused, a trace of tenderness flowing within them. She nestled into Qin Gelan’s embrace, looked up at him, and said softly, ”You want to use that one opportunity for Xian’er?”

”Yes. I didn’t let Xian’er undergo Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao before because I wanted to temper her state of mind.” Qin Gelan’s voice was warm.

This was the reward the System included when Qin Gelan previously broke through to the Advanced level of Heavenly Mandate: one instance of Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao that could be used on others.

Regarding the Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao Realm, no one would compete with a junior for it. And among Qin Gelan’s children, her older brothers and sisters unanimously agreed to give this opportunity to their little sister.

Now, at last, this chance for Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao had finally found its use.

Another hundred years passed, and Qin Xian’er Attained the Dao and became a Supreme.

The commotion caused by Qin Xian’er Attaining the Dao and becoming a Supreme was even grander than that of the Female Emperor back in the day.

However, this didn’t surprise Qin Gelan. He knew that Qin Xian’er, like him, possessed a Chaos Body.

”System, was this all arranged by you?” Qin Gelan asked in his heart.

”[Previously, this System overlooked an issue. Although the host himself is Invincible, his children are not.]”

”[To maintain the title of the Invincible System, I also gave the host’s daughter a Chaos Body.]”

Qin Gelan felt a bit embarrassed. The System was being stubborn, but it suited Qin Gelan’s intentions perfectly.

Qin Xian’er successfully Attained the Dao. In the Heavenly Palace, Qin Gelan explained Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao to her.

Qin Xian’er listened obediently to her father’s words. Without the slightest hesitation, she directly let Qin Gelan sever her Realm.

Even Qin Gelan hadn’t expected Qin Xian’er to be so decisive. It seemed the trials of these years had made her state of mind exceptionally resilient.

Qin Xian’er felt the power of Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao and finally understood why her father’s life was called a legend.

Another hundred years passed, and Qin Xian’er returned to the Supreme Realm once more.

And this was under the condition that Qin Xian’er intentionally suppressed and consolidated her Dao fruit.

Qin Gelan then gave Qin Xian’er the plane embryo he had obtained on the Heavenly Road back then, using it to shape her own small heaven and earth for her.

The news of Qin Xian’er undergoing Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao spread throughout the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms. The Human Emperor had even given the plane embryo to Qin Xian’er.

Not only that, it was said he even gave the Heaven’s Inch to Qin Xian’er.

This made everyone understand the Human Emperor’s doting love for his youngest daughter.

Many cast envious glances. She had practically grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Some people began to have thoughts.

”I wonder about my son... forget it, that unfilial brat isn’t worthy.”

”Who knows what kind of stunning Prodigy could be worthy of this little princess.”

The 10,300th year of the Human Emperor’s calendar.

The Dominator Planes of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms all began to advance into the Heavenly Realm.

The Human Emperor issued a decree: except for the Central Heavenly Domain, the Heavenly Demon Territory, the Tianqi Domain, and the Ninety Domains, anyone from the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms entering the Heavenly Realm could survive based on their adaptability.

Some regretted why they hadn’t befriended Xuanhuang Heaven back then. Otherwise, they would have had a share of the most central locations.

The Primordial Realm, the Supreme Profound Purity Realm, and the Lesser Heaven Realm of the West all flocked towards the Heavenly Realm.

Not only that, even the Four Clans of Origin came. However, the Dragon Clan’s Dragons Nest was relocated to a Void Realm adjacent to the Central Heavenly Domain.

Back when Xuanhuang Heaven was moved to the Chaotic Sea of Time and Space, the Dragon Clan had contributed. This was something Qin Gelan remembered.

Now, with the Human Emperor presiding and multiple Flawless Supreme Beings—Invincible Beings—coexisting in the world, the Evil Clan didn’t dare invade again.

Some speculated that the final decisive battle was approaching.

The Human Emperor hadn’t shown himself in the world these years, perhaps preparing for something. Only his children moved about in the world.

Among them, Qin Xuanzhi, the Human Emperor’s second son, roamed the battlefield between the Evil Clan and the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms with a single sword, slaughtering countless Evil Clan members.

This battlefield was left over from the Primordial Era, located between the Evil Clan Universe and the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Regarding Qin Xuanzhi’s warlike nature, Luo Liuli got a headache from anger every time. She treasured this son dearly.

However, with the Sword Servant and one of the ten fierce beasts, Hou, secretly following him, Luo Liuli felt much more at ease.

As for Qin Xiaoxiao, she ran off to the Heavenly Demon Territory again and even teamed up with Li Yuan’s son and daughter, causing havoc for the great demons of the Heavenly Demon Territory every day.

The elders of the Heavenly Demon Territory were happy to see this. After all, she was the Third Princess of the Heavenly Palace, the Human Emperor’s daughter. Befriending her was a good thing.

It was just the great demons who suffered, being bossed around by this little demoness every day.

Jiu Ying had practically become a nanny following Qin Xiaoxiao around. After all, he had watched Qin Xiaoxiao grow up and regarded her as his own daughter.

As for Qin Yuxi and Qin Qinglin, they remained in the Central Heavenly Domain. However, Qin Qinglin stayed at Book Mountain accompanying the Literary Sage.

On this day, the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon manifested its massive body, with Qin Xian’er standing on its head.

”This is... the Little Princess of the Heavenly Palace is traveling!”

”So grand! I heard this is the Human Emperor’s mount.”

The younger generation members looked at Qin Xian’er on the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon’s head, their expressions revealing infatuation.

The Little Princess of the Heavenly Palace was indeed as rumored: possessing a beauty that could astonish all things in the world, like immortal dew in the clouds, a bright pearl emerging from the sea, untainted by the slightest speck of dust.

Many revealed a longing, hoping this little princess would glance their way.

But clearly, no one paid them any attention.

”Uncle Long, Father said there’s heavenly dao origin at the end of the heavens. Can you find it?”

Qin Xian’er stood on the Star-Forging Illusory Dragon’s head, looking at the Heaven’s Inch in her hand, sensing something.

”Princess, Master said the heavenly dao origin of the Evil Clan Universe is evil. The Heaven’s Inch contains Master’s power. As long as we obtain the Evil Clan’s heavenly dao origin, it can be suppressed and purified.”

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon spoke.

”Father wants us to go to the Evil Clan Universe to obtain the heavenly dao origin...” Qin Xian’er murmured to herself. Suddenly, her clear, beautiful eyes widened. ”Could it be that Father is preparing to take action against the Evil Clan?”

The Star-Forging Illusory Dragon remained silent. He couldn’t speculate on the schemes of beings at that level.

Inside the Heavenly Palace.

Qin Gelan looked in the direction Qin Xian’er had left, his eyes flickering.

The Female Emperor paced over, coming to Qin Gelan’s side, and spoke softly, ”That Heavenly Master’s heavenly secrets have been leaked. Do you think he’ll take the bait?”

Qin Gelan smiled profoundly. ”That Heavenly Master’s Dao methods are indeed extraordinary. However, he still hasn’t deduced my existence. And you all can precisely lure him here.”
