The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Under the excited and expectant gaze of Xue Ziyan, Tan Yun’s Qiankun Ring began to flash more and more rapidly.

Soon, droplets from Spiritual Springs began to fall onto the ground before her like rain.

When she saw the piles of Spiritual Springs stacked in front of her, Xue Ziyan’s beautiful eyes widened.

Her gaze was filled with excitement that she could hardly conceal.

Tan Yun smiled casually.

“Ziyan, the 5-Element Spiritual Springs—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, a total of 1,427 springs, are all here.”

“All of them… are yours.”

“What?!”

Xue Ziyan froze in shock.

“So many? You’re really giving all of them to me?”

It must be known that regardless of their grade, 1 Spiritual Spring could be used for 3 days of cultivation.

Therefore, 1,427 springs could support cultivation for

4,281 days

or approximately 11.5 years.

If she obtained these Spiritual Springs,

Xue Ziyan would have enough resources to cultivate until reaching the Soul Refinement Realm.

“Of course I’m giving them to you.”

Tan Yun chuckled softly.

“Or do you not want them?”

“If you don’t want them, I can take them back.”

“I want them! I want them!”

Xue Ziyan hurriedly replied.

But suddenly, she looked at Tan Yun with reddened eyes.

Tears welled up uncontrollably.

“Tan Yun… these are all priceless treasures.”

“I can’t even imagine how many spirit stones it would take to buy them.”

At this point,

tears began streaming down her cheeks.

“Since childhood… no one has ever treated me this well before.”

“If you weren’t Senior Sister Mu’s man…”

“I might have already wanted to marry you.”

“Ziyan, you heartless girl!”

Mu Mengyi lightly tapped her forehead and laughed.

“Haven’t I always treated you well?”

“Look at you. Tan Yun gives you a few Spiritual Springs and suddenly he becomes the best person in the world.”

“You’re a girl, yet you speak so recklessly!”

Xue Ziyan quickly wiped away her tears and smiled sweetly.

“Senior Sister, I’m just touched!”

“Hehe, don’t worry!”

“What I said to Tan Yun was only out of politeness. I’m not really trying to steal him from you!”

Mu Mengyi sighed helplessly.

“You really never think before speaking.”

“So naïve.”

Xue Ziyan shrugged and rubbed her hands excitedly,

as if afraid someone might snatch the Spiritual Springs away.

She quickly stored all of them into her Qiankun Ring.

Then she laughed happily.

“With these Spiritual Springs…”

“I will cultivate with all my strength inside the Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower!”

“When I come out of the tower, I’ll shock all of you!”

“Yes, yes, you’re the most amazing.”

Mu Mengyi rolled her eyes at her.

“Earlier Tan Yun even gave you a cultivation technique, and you still haven’t thanked him.”

“You really don’t know how to show gratitude.”

Xue Ziyan laughed and suddenly hooked her right arm around Tan Yun’s arm in an intimate manner.

Then she turned to Mu Mengyi and said,

“He’s my future brother-in-law.”

“If my brother-in-law gives me something, why should I be polite?”

“If I acted polite, it would make us seem like strangers!”

“Fine, you’re right.”

Mu Mengyi shook her head slightly.

She truly had no way of dealing with Xue Ziyan’s cheerful, mischievous, and innocent personality.

Tan Yun chuckled slightly before speaking,

“Alright, stop teasing.”

“The Space-Time Tower is about to close.”

“I’ll give each of you the Spiritual Springs you need.”

After speaking,

his Qiankun Ring shone continuously.

366 Lightning Spiritual Springs, divided into 4 grades—Low, Mid, High, and Top, fell before Rongrong.

Then,

350 Spatial Spiritual Springs, also divided into 4 grades, appeared before Zhong Wushiyao.

Next,

beneath Mu Mengyi’s feet appeared

Death Spiritual Springs and Beast Spiritual Springs, totaling 774 springs.

They were likewise divided into 4 grades—Low, Mid, High, and Top.

“So many!”

Mu Mengyi cried out in delight.

She immediately stored all the Spiritual Springs into her Qiankun Ring.

In her heart,

Tan Yun was the only man in her life.

She did not say thank you,

but her heart was already filled with overwhelming happiness.

Zhong Wushiyao slightly parted her delicate lips.

Her voice was soft, like music from the heavens.

“Thank you… Tan Yun.”

She stored the Spiritual Springs with a heart filled with sweetness.

Only Rongrong remained standing there in a daze.

Looking at the large number of Spiritual Springs before her,

she had never imagined

that Tan Yun—the man who slaughtered enemies with ruthless decisiveness—

could be so generous and kind to her.

At the same time, Rongrong clearly knew in her heart

that the reason Tan Yun gave these Spiritual Springs to her

was because of Zhong Wushiyao.

“Rongrong, hurry and thank Tan Yun.”

Zhong Wushiyao gently pulled Rongrong’s arm, snapping her out of her daze.

After regaining her senses, Rongrong was about to speak.

But Tan Yun smiled faintly and spoke first.

“There’s no need to be so polite.”

“You are Shiyao’s good friend, so naturally that makes you my friend as well.”

Rongrong nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Mm! I understand!”

“But I still have to thank you very much.”

Tan Yun nodded slightly, accepting her gratitude.

Then he said,

“Cultivating inside the Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower, 1 day inside equals 50 days outside.”

“I hope that when the tower opens again in 1 month, all of you will have made great progress.”

“You too.”

Zhong Wushiyao and Mu Mengyi spoke at the same time.

After saying this, a slight blush appeared on the beautiful faces of both women.

Tan Yun cleared his throat softly.

“Ahem…”

Then he looked at Xue Ziyan.

“I have something to discuss with Mengyi alone.”

“You should go into the tower first.”

Xue Ziyan smiled mischievously.

“Hehe, alright.”

She glanced at Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi with a look that clearly said “I know what you’re going to do.”

Then she flew on her sword toward the tower.

“Rongrong, let’s go.”

Zhong Wushiyao smiled sweetly and was the first to fly into the tower on her sword.

No one noticed

the flash of jealousy that passed through her eyes for a brief moment…

Rongrong quickly followed behind her.

Now,

on the vast plaza,

only Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi remained.

Mu Mengyi blinked and looked at Tan Yun attentively.

“Tan Yun, everyone has already left.”

“What are you planning to do?”

Tan Yun curled his lips into a smile.

“What do you think?”

As soon as he finished speaking,

amid Mu Mengyi’s soft cry,

Tan Yun leaned forward and kissed her lips fiercely.

After a long time…

Tan Yun finally released Mu Mengyi and whispered beside her ear,

“I will stay inside the Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower for more than 4 years.”

“I will miss you.”

Mu Mengyi’s face turned red.

“You’re really terrible… always bullying others…”

She nodded shyly and spoke softly.

“The tower is about to close… I should go in first.”

Her eyes avoided his gaze

as she flew on her sword into the tower as if she were escaping.

Her black hair fluttered in the wind.

Suddenly, she turned back.

Then she spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

“I will… miss you too.”

After saying that,

she flew into the tower and disappeared.

“Hahaha!”

Tan Yun burst into laughter.

His body moved 3 times in succession, crossing a distance of 300 ft.

When he stepped into the 1st floor of the tower,

he immediately felt dizzy.

In the blink of an eye,

the scene before him changed.

He appeared inside a cultivation chamber with a radius of 300 ft.

The Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower was 1,000 ft tall.

It was divided into 333 floors.

Each floor was further divided into 10 cultivation chambers.

Except for the 1st floor, which had the tower entrance,

all other floors—including every cultivation chamber—had no doors.

The ancient walls separating each floor were extremely sturdy.

Not only were they indestructible,

they could also block spiritual sense detection.

Therefore, when disciples cultivated,

they did not need to worry about being disturbed or secretly spied upon.

At the center of the cultivation chamber,

there was only 1 teleportation array,

which connected to the 1st floor of the tower.

Because this tower had been refined with a Mustard Seed Space-Time artifact,

the interior space was 100 times larger than its external size.

Tan Yun sat cross-legged in the center of the chamber.

He calmed his mind and cleared away all distracting thoughts,

entering a state of complete tranquility.

“Primordial Chaos Qi Condensation Art!”

The moment Tan Yun formed a hand seal,

the dense heaven and earth spiritual energy around him

surged into his glabella like a raging sea of clouds.

At the top of the Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower,

there was a massive spirit-gathering formation.

The tower crazily absorbed the heaven and earth spiritual energy above the Ruined City,

then transmitted that energy into the cultivation chambers on every floor.

In the blink of an eye,

2 months had already passed inside the tower.

Combined with the 3 months he had cultivated earlier,

Tan Yun had now spent a total of 5 months cultivating.

And finally,

he had reached the barrier of Level 4 of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He began to frantically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy

in an attempt to break through to a higher level.
