Chapter 3: Give Rewards in Different Ways

"Wait, what? You get rewards even if you don't complete the task??"

Ye Qingyun thought he was seeing things.

Back on Blue Star, Ye Qingyun read many transmigration novels where the poor protagonist either started as a cripple or got betrayed right from the start. Then, they'd awaken some system and be forced into a life of hard work for it.

But this Supreme Invincible System he was bound to? It handed out rewards regardless of task completion!

And the rewards were seriously lavish!

Five hundred years of cultivation could instantly propel Ye Qingyun to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, just one step away from becoming a Great Emperor.

The Holy Sword of the Human Race, Xuanyuan Sword, was a treasure of immense fortune, an unparalleled imperial weapon, incredibly rare even on the entire Shenkun Continent!

Plus, there were various Grade Nine pills.

In the Eastern Region, Grade Nine pills were so precious they were priceless.

Their Liuyun Sect's top alchemist, Mo Wudao, the Peak Master of Dan Peak, had only recently advanced to a Grade Nine alchemist, with less than a 20% success rate in crafting Grade Nine pills.

Yet now, the system had rewarded forty Grade Nine pills in one go!

The blackened system was indeed incredibly generous.

"Dear Host, how could the system deceive you? All the rewards you see are real and valid," the system replied to Ye Qingyun's skepticism.

Ye Qingyun was quite satisfied but acted indifferent to keep the system in check, "It's alright, I suppose."

"Rest assured, Host, the system will continue to optimize and strive to satisfy you," the system humbly responded.

Ye Qingyun couldn't help but smile internally. This dog system was now entirely under his thumb.

Ye Qingyun stood up, stretched, and his bones crackled with power. He could now easily demolish a mountain or wipe out a force with just a thought.

Is this what being powerful feels like?

Grinning, Ye Qingyun headed outside, with Feng Qingyang following like a loyal servant.

Outside, Ye Qingyun's gaze landed on a towering mountain, shrouded in mist, its peak covered in snow, resembling a fairyland.

That was Empress Ji Ningshuang's peak, known as Empress Peak.

For centuries, the Empress had rarely left her peak, focusing on breaking through to the perfect Great Emperor realm.

As a transcendent force, their sect required a perfected Great Emperor level powerhouse to oversee it.

Their Liuyun Sect's ancestor Dongfang Xu, like Feng Qing Sect's ancestor Feng Qingyang, had perished while trying to break through.

Ye Qingyun's alcoholic master, though highly skilled, spent his days drunk and disappeared two and a half years ago, leaving all the burden on Ji Ningshuang.

Ji Ningshuang was immensely talented, reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm in a thousand years, the Great Emperor realm in fifteen hundred, and almost perfecting it in under three thousand years.

Compared to those ancient beings who lived for tens of thousands of years, Ji Ningshuang was still very young.

Hence, it was understandable that she hadn't perfected the Great Emperor realm yet. After all, she was still very young.

However, other transcendent forces didn't give her time to grow.

Over the years, they had been pressuring Liuyun Sect.

To ease the tension, Ji Ningshuang secluded herself day and night, striving to break through and gain the strength to protect herself.

"As a member of Liuyun Sect, how can I, Ye Qingyun, stand by and do nothing? Empress, I'm coming to help you break through!" Ye Qingyun declared righteously.

Feng Qingyang admired Ye Qingyun deeply, finding his loyalty and sense of duty commendable.

In truth, Ye Qingyun wasn't worried at all.

With Feng Qingyang guarding Liuyun Sect, what could other forces do?

And with the dog system in place, how could he not fend off external threats?

"Off to Empress Peak!"

Ye Qingyun took a step and vanished like a light bird.

Feng Qingyang followed, disappearing into the void.

"The system has concealed the host and Feng Qingyang's presence, even peak Great Emperor experts can't detect you," the system announced as Ye Qingyun left Lingxiao Peak.

Even Feng Qingyang's presence was concealed.

With Feng Qingyang hidden in the void, he was nearly impossible to detect.

Where else could one find such a considerate system?

Ye Qingyun replied nonchalantly, "About time. Don't be slow next time, or I'll unbind you in a heartbeat!"

"The host is right, the system will continue to optimize and ensure your satisfaction. Please don't unbind," the system pleaded like a scolded child.

Ye Qingyun chuckled internally. This foolish system was truly easy to manipulate!

After flying for a while, Ye Qingyun finally reached Empress Peak.

However, the peak was protected by a barrier. Without the Empress's consent, no one could enter.

"How do I break this seal?" Ye Qingyun hesitated.

Though he was at the Quasi-Emperor level, he was no match for a true Great Emperor.

"Decoding the seal for the host!"

As Ye Qingyun pondered, the system's voice chimed in.

The impenetrable seal cracked open, forming a door.

"What the—? It really worked?" Ye Qingyun was pleasantly surprised.

He easily entered Empress Peak, with Feng Qingyang following in disbelief.

Breaking Ji Ningshuang's seal would have taken Feng Qingyang a lot of effort.

Yet Ye Qingyun did it effortlessly!

How powerful was he really?

Feng Qingyang's admiration for Ye Qingyun grew.

Little did Feng Qingyang know, Ye Qingyun had done nothing; it was all the dog system's work.

A laid-back life was truly delightful.
