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

24: Visits from various forcesXue Ning conversed with Qin Gelan for a while before leaving with Qin Xian and Xue Qingcheng; she even covered all of Qin Gelan’s expenses at the Ascending Immortal Tower.

Xue Ning was very willing to befriend Qin Gelan, as he had a Supreme backing him.

She sensed Qin Gelan’s cultivation Realm; she was shocked to discover that he had already reached the Peak Immortal Venerable Realm.

However, as the leader of a Transcendent Faction, her state of mind was quite stable, and she did not show any abnormality.

”Qingcheng, what do you think of this Qin Gelan?” Xue Ning asked Xue Qingcheng beside her.

Xue Qingcheng remained silent for a moment, her brow furrowing slightly as she shook her head. ”Auntie, I cannot see through his cultivation. He should be more than an Immortal Sovereign; he likely has the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable.”

Xue Ning smiled. ”More than an Immortal Venerable—he is nearly an Immortal Emperor.”

An Immortal Emperor?

Xue Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes fixed on Xue Ning. Seeing that she didn’t seem to be joking, her cold, pretty Face rarely revealed a look of disbelief.

She had cultivated for decades and was only at the Third Heaven of the Immortal Venerable Realm, which made her one of the top figures among the younger generation in the entire Xuanhuang Heaven.

She hadn’t expected Qin Gelan to be at the Peak Immortal Venerable Realm. In terms of cultivation speed, few in the entire Xuanhuang Heaven, or even the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, could compare to him.

Xue Qingcheng believed she was second to none among her peers. Her eyes flashed with determination; given her Physique, she would surely step onto the Peak in the future.

Seeing the change in Xue Qingcheng’s mindset, Xue Ning smiled with satisfaction. This was the effect she wanted, as few of her peers could still provide her with pressure.

Qin Gelan’s appearance was timely. Pressure provided motivation, and by using Qin Gelan to spur the girl on, Xue Ning suddenly found him more and more agreeable.

Inside a luxurious guest room in the Ascending Immortal Tower, Qin Gelan was cultivating. He naturally wouldn’t refuse the friendship of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.

Since he had come to this world, social relations were just as important as strength.

He focused on the Asura Power, a reward for the mission where he helped the Shen Family.

Qin Gelan discovered the murderous nature of the Asura Power. With its support, his combat strength actually multiplied. How terrifying!

It was truly a power not inferior to the Vast Righteous Qi. As brother tong zi had previously explained, Asura Power was one of the strongest Origin powers in the world.

Like the Vast Righteous Qi, it was not a power obtained through cultivation but was an Origin power of the world.

However, Qin Gelan found a drawback to the Asura Power: it required a firm mind.

If one’s mind was not firm, they would be influenced by the Asura Power, and their mind would be consumed by it, turning them into a bloodthirsty person.

Fortunately, Qin Gelan didn’t need to worry. With the Origin Mind-Cultivation Technique—Asura provided by brother tong zi, he could completely control the Asura Power.

Furthermore, with the support of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Method and the Great Freedom Mind-Cultivation Technique, his mind was incredibly firm, and he wasn’t afraid of the Asura Power’s influence at all.

When his cultivation ended, his Realm hadn’t increased at all, but his control over the Asura Power had become more proficient.

Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm was harder than imagined. Having previously received cultivation rewards from brother tong zi, he had thought cultivation was simple, but after experiencing it himself, he realized how difficult an Immortal Emperor Breakthrough was.

No wonder any faction with an Immortal Emperor could be called a super first-class force.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

The visitor was Yun Ye, an Elder of the Dao Tian Sect from the Eastern Desolation, who had come to visit Qin Gelan.

”I have heard that the Senior backing you is a grandmaster of the Dao of Formations. Coincidentally, our Dao Tian Sect’s Old Ancestor is also an Emperor Formation Master. The Old Ancestor said that if there is an opportunity, he would like to sit and discuss the Dao of Formations with that Senior,” Yun Ye said with a chuckle.

Qin Gelan responded politely, ”I have heard that the Dao Tian Sect’s research into Formations is unrivaled in the entire Xuanhuang Heaven. If there is time, I will certainly pay a visit.”

Qin Gelan’s words were very clever, referring to both himself and that Supreme ”Senior,” depending on how Yun Ye interpreted it.

Having received Qin Gelan’s answer, Yun Ye nodded with satisfaction and took his leave. Before departing, he even gave a precious Formation Secret Manual—of course, this was out of respect for the ”Supreme” behind Qin Gelan.

As soon as Yun Ye left, the knocking sounded again. It was the Demon Domain, another Transcendent Faction.

The visitor was from one of the Supreme clans of the Demon Domain, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan.

Looking at the world-bewitching Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, Yue Qingyi, Qin Gelan almost lost his composure. Fortunately, his self-control was extraordinary.

The key was that Yue Qingyi teased Qin Gelan from time to time, leaving him with a Face full of black lines. Seeing Qin Gelan’s discomfort, Yue Qingyi covered her mouth and giggled.

Yue Qingyi left with the experts of the Demon Domain, throwing a flirtatious wink at Qin Gelan before laughing and exiting the room.

Goddammit... teased again!

After seeing off the people from the Demon Domain, another force arrived—a super first-class force—but Qin Xian received them on his behalf.

This was requested by Qin Gelan to Xue Ning, and she was naturally willing to help, leaving those who came to visit to be handled by Qin Xian.

Qin Gelan’s portrait had only been seen by a few influential figures within the Transcendent Factions, so it wasn’t as if others had recognized him.

Someone had spread the word that Qin Gelan was at the Ascending Immortal Tower with the people from the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.

When Qin Gelan heard this, his anger flared. Who the hell had such a big mouth!

He finally understood why celebrities in his past life always wore masks when going out... Two days later, Qin Gelan had made all his preparations.

All the major forces in the God City knew that Qin Gelan had arrived. Since he was here, that Supreme had presumably arrived as well, only remaining hidden.

No one dared to pry into a Supreme’s movements. Hadn’t they seen that the Hall of Gods was about to be liquidated by that Supreme?

”It’s time to settle accounts with the Hall of Gods,” Qin Gelan murmured to himself.

He then took his leave of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, disguised himself, changed his aura, and left the Ascending Immortal Tower, heading toward the Hall of Gods.

The direction of the Hall of Gods was easy to identify; at the end of the God City stood a palace that pierced the clouds, the tallest building in the entire city.

It was unknown how high the palace was; looking up from the bottom, the naked eye could not see the end of its height.

Xue Qingcheng watched the direction Qin Gelan had left, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she said to Xue Ning, ”Is that Supreme going to move against the Hall of Gods?”

Xue Ning smiled, her beauty beyond compare, as she parted her red lips. ”Let’s go; we’ll go watch the excitement as well.”

If she could see that Supreme with her own eyes, the trip would be worthwhile. By befriending a Supreme, the Ice and Snow Divine Palace would have an ally for the battle in the future.

At the Ascending Immortal Tower, Qin Xian had truly run into Qin Gelan by chance. It was a matter of fate; the Ice and Snow Divine Palace had also just arrived in the God City and had only stopped at the tower to rest, not expecting to meet Qin Gelan.

A storm was brewing over the God City. The Hall of Gods had also heard of Qin Gelan’s arrival, yet they still made no move.

Xiao He was panicking inside; this day had finally come. He only hoped the Heavenly God could settle this matter.

Qi Huan was also full of sorrow. Thinking about it, he suddenly slapped himself. Why did he have to meddle in other people’s business back then? He was really asking for it...
