The Supreme Being Against Heaven

“Rumble!”

In the next second,

the gate of the Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower slowly opened.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Amid countless flashing figures,

856 disciples shot out from the tower gate on their flying swords, before landing on the vast plaza.

Everyone’s faces were filled with unconcealable excitement.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Suddenly,

2 slender figures, one dressed in red and the other in white, rushed out of the tower gate at high speed.

They landed on the left side of the crowd,

revealing

Mu Mengyi in red,

and Zhong Wu Shiyao, dressed in snow-white.

The 2 young women were as beautiful as descending goddesses.

Standing side by side,

even a smile or a slight frown

could make the surrounding people lose themselves in admiration.

Suddenly,

a voice rose from the crowd.

“Senior brothers and sisters, I cannot see through the cultivation level of Senior Sister Zhong Wu and Senior Sister Mu. Can any of you see it?”

His voice was filled with confusion and shock.

“I can’t see it either!”

“Me neither!”

“…”

Everyone shook their heads,

indicating that none of them could see through the cultivation levels of the two women.

But there was 1 thing everyone was certain of.

That was—

the cultivation levels of Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi were at least Level 5 of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Among all the disciples,

only several dozen people who had once ranked within the Top 100 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking

had broken through to Level 5.

As for the others,

they were only at Level 4 of the Nascent Soul Realm.

And since no one could see through the cultivation levels of the two women,

that meant

their cultivation levels were higher than everyone present.

“Senior Sister Zhong Wu!”

A clear voice filled with excitement rang out.

In the blink of an eye,

Rong Rong appeared in front of Zhong Wu Shiyao.

“Senior Sister, I’ve already refined all 366 Lightning Spirit Springs that Tan Yun gave me!”

“Now I can already sense the barrier of Level 6!”

Then Rong Rong smiled and continued,

“And also… I still can’t tell what cultivation level you and Senior Sister Mu are at.”

“What level are you now?”

Zhong Wu Shiyao smiled faintly.

Her slightly parted red lips moved gently.

Her voice was so melodious that it made listeners’ hearts tremble.

“Rong Rong… Mengyi and I are now at Level 6 of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Wow!”

Rong Rong exclaimed excitedly.

At that moment,

a beautiful purple figure shot out from the Honored Tower.

She appeared in front of Mu Mengyi,

revealing Xue Ziyan.

Xue Ziyan wrapped her arm around Mu Mengyi’s,

then spoke with a bright smile.

“Senior Sister Mu, I’m so happy!”

“My cultivation has finally caught up with yours!”

“Well? Aren’t I amazing?”

Mu Mengyi rolled her eyes slightly,

then replied affectionately,

“Yes, you’re amazing. The most amazing, alright?”

“You received the most Spirit Springs from Tan Yun.”

“If you still couldn’t break through to Level 6,”

“how would you face Tan Yun?”

“Hmph!”

Xue Ziyan puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

“You can’t even praise me once.”

Her expression looked adorably sulky.

Seeing this,

Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao

raised their jade-like hands to cover their mouths

and laughed softly.

At that moment,

a deep and familiar voice

suddenly sounded beside the ears of Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao.

“Mengyi… Shiyao…”

“What’s going on? Why are you laughing so happily?”

“Tan Yun!”

Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao immediately turned around.

Then they saw

Tan Yun, dressed in a green robe,

walking out from the tower gate.

His face carried a warm smile like the spring breeze.

Before Tan Yun could approach,

Zhong Wu Shiyao took half a step forward,

as if she wanted to greet him.

But in that very instant,

she saw Mu Mengyi’s figure flash forward first,

already entering Tan Yun’s embrace.

Zhong Wu Shiyao stopped her steps,

simply standing where she was,

watching Tan Yun with a beautiful and enchanting smile.

Tan Yun wrapped his arm around Mu Mengyi’s slender waist.

His star-like eyes were filled with happiness.

Then he said with a smile,

“Congratulations.”

“You successfully broke through to Level 6 of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

Mu Mengyi slowly withdrew from Tan Yun’s embrace.

She slightly raised her head and carefully examined him.

When she discovered that Tan Yun’s cultivation appeared to be only at Level 5 of the Nascent Soul Realm,

her gaze instantly softened.

Then she whispered softly,

“I don’t believe you’re only at Level 5.”

“You’re hiding your cultivation level, aren’t you?”

“Mm.”

Tan Yun nodded slightly.

His lips moved close to Mu Mengyi’s ear as he whispered softly,

“I’m currently at Level 7.”

Mu Mengyi did not show the slightest sign of surprise.

Because since the day she learned about Tan Yun’s past identity at the entrance of the Sunset Forest,

in her heart,

Tan Yun had already become a person who was almost unmatched.

Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

A trace of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Then she said thoughtfully,

“Tan Yun… in the Outer Sect, aside from the Law Enforcement Elder and the 10th Elder, you hardly have any other enemies.”

“The reason you’re hiding your cultivation level now… is because you plan to take revenge after leaving the Fallen Deity Valley, right?”

Tan Yun curled the corner of his lips slightly.

“Mengyi… you truly understand me.”

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and the starlike light in his eyes turned icy cold.

“When I survived and returned from the Snowfield Ice Pool, the real purpose of the Law-Enforcement Elder summoning me to the Disciplinary Hall…”

“…was to collude with the 10th Elder to kill me!”

“At that time, I was still weak.”

“So I could only swallow the humiliation of being slapped 3 times by that old bastard.”

Tan Yun’s voice turned chilling.

“But now… I have power.”

“How could I possibly allow that old bastard to keep living!”

Hearing this, Mu Mengyi reached out and tidied Tan Yun’s green robe.

Then she spoke gently.

“I believe you will succeed in taking revenge.”

“But Qiu Yongchong and Guo Zhengshou…”

“They were able to become the Law-Enforcement Elder of the Outer Sect and the 10th Elder.”

“They must be extremely cunning and dangerous people.”

“You must be very careful. Do not underestimate them.”

A trace of disdain appeared in Tan Yun’s eyes.

“Nonsense.”

“2 years ago, before the trial began…”

“At their age, they were only at Level 8 of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“That alone proves they are merely mid-level cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Don’t worry.”

“For me, killing them…”

“…is no different from crushing an ant.”

Mu Mengyi shook her head slightly.

“Tan Yun, what I’m worried about… isn’t that.”

“Think about it.”

“Since they were qualified to become elders of the Outer Sect…”

“…there must be powerful supporters behind them.”

“I’m afraid that… if you kill them…”

“Someone might seek revenge on their behalf.”

Tan Yun gently placed his hand on Mu Mengyi’s shoulder.

A crafty glint flashed in his eyes.

“Qiu Yongchong and Guo Zhengshou have both been trying to curry favor with Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong.”

“That means…”

“…their backers are inferior to Murong Kun’s grandfather and Linghu Changkong’s great-grandfather.”

“Since I already dared to kill Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong…”

“Why would I care about gaining two more enemies!”

“You’re right, Tan Yun.”

Mu Mengyi nodded firmly.

“No matter what you do…”

“I will always support you and believe in you.”

Then she smiled sweetly.

“The Space-Time Tunnel is about to open.”

“Why don’t you go talk with Shiyao for a moment?”

After speaking,

Mu Mengyi pulled Tan Yun along

and walked toward Zhong Wu Shiyao and Xue Ziyan.

“Huh?”

Xue Ziyan looked at Tan Yun in surprise.

“Only Level 5 of the Nascent Soul Realm?”

She rubbed her eyes slightly before laughing.

“Oh~ I get it now.”

“You’re hiding your cultivation again, aren’t you…”

Before Xue Ziyan could finish speaking,

Tan Yun immediately gave her a warning glance.

Then he spoke in a low voice.

“The reason I’m hiding my cultivation is because I have something important to do.”

“Don’t make a fuss about it.”

“Okay, I understand…”

Just as Xue Ziyan opened her mouth to respond,

suddenly—

above the enormous plaza in the sky

a violent vortex of wind began to swirl.

It was as if space itself were being torn apart by an immense force.

In the blink of an eye,

a Space-Time Tunnel with a diameter of 30 zhang appeared in mid-air!

Inside the tunnel,

the wind roared like wailing demons.

Dim light shimmered down,

covering an area with a radius of 100 zhang.

Suddenly, a shout erupted from the crowd.

“Everyone, hurry!”

“We must return to the Sect!”

“Once we go back, we’ll become Inner Sect disciples!”

“…”

All 856 disciples were extremely excited.

Their figures turned into afterimages

as they rushed into the illuminated area.

Then they soared into the sky,

were sucked into the Space-Time Tunnel,

and disappeared in an instant…
