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

173: The military formations left by the First EmperorNow, there is no longer a distinction between Xuanhuang Heaven, the Monster Realm, and the Tianqi Realm; there is only a shared Plane, the Heavenly Realm.

Since Xuanhuang Heaven is located at the very center of the Heavenly Realm, it is known as the Central Heavenly Domain. The two major domains beside the Central Heavenly Domain are the Heavenly Demon Territory and the Tianqi Domain.

After the Heavenly Realm Plane took root in the Chaotic Sea of Time and Space, the powerhouses of the Three Realms began to interact with one another.

Some headed toward other Planes of the Heavenly Realm, which were formed by the checkpoints of the Heavenly Road.

The older generation of experts, in particular, were full of curiosity about the Heavenly Road and wanted to see what the legendary Heavenly Road was like.

Qin Gelan also returned to the original Eighty-ninth Pass of the Heavenly Road.

But now, this was no longer the Heavenly Road; it had become a part of the Heavenly Realm Plane.

He returned to the original small mountain village, but unfortunately, the place remained while the people had changed.

Qin Gelan’s Divine Sense swept the surroundings and found no sign of Xiao Yi.

The thatched cottage from back then was still there, but the person was gone. Behind the cottage, there were two tombstones.

Those were the graves of Xiao Yi’s parents. Hundreds of years had passed, and they were long gone. Qin Gelan took out a wine flask and poured a libation over the tombstones.

He didn’t know when Xiao Yi had left, but he assumed she had already awakened her past life.

Only Feng Ling was still in a deep sleep. Feng Ling had been sleeping for over two hundred years. Qin Gelan guessed that perhaps Feng Ling was also about to awaken her past life.

Qin Gelan walked to the small stone table outside the house. He hadn’t expected that the clay figurines Xiao Yi had molded back then would still be there, and one of them was even modeled after himself.

”This girl...” Qin Gelan smiled.

As he was smiling, Qin Gelan’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and he picked up his own clay figurine.

Releasing the Power of Reincarnation, Xiao Yi’s figure appeared within the clay figurine.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was dressed in silk garments as white as snow, with a cinnabar mark between her brows. Her expression had become majestic and noble.

Her appearance had changed drastically, looking like a Fairy who could topple the world.

”Luo Shen!”

Qin Gelan was shocked. He hadn’t expected that Xiao Yi’s identity before Reincarnation was actually Luo Shen.

In the vision he had seen before, although Qin Gelan saw Luo Shen’s fall, he hadn’t expected that she had actually entered Reincarnation.

”Could it be the Creation Law?” Qin Gelan pondered with his head lowered.

Qin Gelan continued to watch the scenes within the clay figurine and saw that Xiao Yi was also looking over.

The place where Xiao Yi was located felt somewhat familiar, causing Qin Gelan to frown.

As the scene shifted, Qin Gelan finally remembered that place. It was the First Pass of the Heavenly Road, the starting point of the Heaven Ascension Road at that time.

But what was Xiao Yi doing there?

He saw Xiao Yi in an endless mountain range, and then she simply stomped her foot.

Rumble!

The entire mountain range collapsed, and an entrance to a small heaven and earth appeared. Xiao Yi stepped directly into the entrance.

When Xiao Yi entered the small heaven and earth, the sight within caused Qin Gelan’s pupils to dilate.

”This... no... it couldn’t be, right?” Qin Gelan’s lips trembled.

What did he see?

Inside the small heaven and earth was a Dynasty, with an imperial throne standing high above.

Below the imperial throne was a sea of soldiers.

Each soldier held an iron halberd, exuding an air of natural authority. In the front, there were generals holding sharp swords.

Magnificent chariots appeared in the middle of the army.

Among these soldiers were Immortal Emperors and Supremes, and the hundred generals at the very front were actually at the Extreme Dao rank!

That wasn’t the key; the key was that this army was cast from clay!

They were entirely Terracotta Warriors!

”Could it have been left behind by the First Emperor?” A hint of doubt arose in Qin Gelan’s heart.

In the Primordial Era, besides the Heavenly Emperor, there was another powerhouse: the First Emperor of Qin.

After the Heavenly Emperor passed away, the First Emperor also disappeared. After the First Emperor killed an Evil God, the world speculated that he had passed away in the endless Void Realm due to his severe injuries.

The ten thousand li great wall he left behind also vanished, but all of this was shrouded in mystery.

Just then, Xiao Yi spoke, her voice like the most beautiful notes in the world: ”This is a battle array left by a very powerful person. I think it might be of some help to you.”

Xiao Yi’s gaze looked toward Qin Gelan, as if she knew he was watching her.

Those eyes were still the ones Qin Gelan had condensed for her using the heavenly dao origin.

But at this moment, Xiao Yi seemed very unfamiliar; she was no longer the Xiao Yi he knew.

This feeling was quite unpleasant. He had thought that after Qing Luo’s Reincarnation, her memories of this life would take precedence.

But Xiao Yi was clearly different. Although she still remembered him, he didn’t know if she had turned back into Luo Shen.

And then there was Feng Ling; he wondered who she would be once she awakened.

Qin Gelan arrived at the starting point of the Heaven Ascension Road in a single step, which had now merged to become a part of the Heavenly Realm Plane.

At this time, many people had gathered at this entrance. Some Immortal Emperors were also looking at the entrance to the small heaven and earth with furrowed brows.

Qin Gelan’s sudden appearance startled these people.

His Supreme aura flared as Qin Gelan spoke to them, ”This place is a death trap for you. Leave immediately.”

”Yes!”

”We obey the Supreme’s command. We shall leave at once.”

They didn’t recognize Qin Gelan, but they knew he was a Supreme. They didn’t dare to linger and left one after another.

In fact, what Qin Gelan said was correct. Powerful Laws had gathered at the entrance of this small heaven and earth.

None but a Supreme could enter. If one tried to force their way through the entrance, they would be obliterated by the Laws.

This was a measure left behind by the powerhouse who created the small heaven and earth.

However, Qin Gelan guessed that in all likelihood, it was that First Emperor.

Besides him, Qin Gelan couldn’t think of anyone else who could produce such a grand work, such Terracotta Warriors.

Qin Gelan easily entered the small heaven and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sensing the aura of a stranger, the army seemed to come alive.

”Kill!”

”Kill!”

”Kill!”

Shouts of killing echoed, and a murderous aura filled the small heaven and earth.

Qin Gelan’s aura flared, suppressing the murderous intent as he approached the imperial throne.

A golden light flashed on the throne, and a square piece of jade carved with dragon patterns appeared.

”Holy crap... is this a fucking Imperial Seal?”

Qin Gelan’s mouth hung open as he reached out to take the Imperial Seal.

”Having received the Mandate from Heaven, may he lead a long and prosperous life.”

Qin Gelan looked at the eight large characters engraved on the bottom of the Imperial Seal. Everything was clear now.

The person who left this military array was undoubtedly that First Emperor.

His Divine Soul entered the Imperial Seal, and Qin Gelan seemed to see a person dressed in a black dragon robe standing above the heavens.

Below him were his subjects, kneeling in worship. The majesty of an emperor was perfectly embodied in him.

Qin Gelan looked at the person in the black dragon robe in shock.

Regarding this First Emperor, whether in his past life or this one, he had only heard of him in legends.

This person only existed in legends; he hadn’t expected to see him with his own eyes today.

Although this was just a past figure remaining within the Imperial Seal.

After Qin Gelan took control of the Imperial Seal, the entire army of Terracotta Warriors immediately knelt down toward him.

This Imperial Seal was the key to controlling the army; Qin Gelan had seen through it from the beginning.
