The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
If the 2 of you are willing to become my disciples, your future will be limitless.” “In the world of cultivation—‘weapons’ carry weight above all else!” “Whether it be spirit weapons, magical treasures, high-grade treasures, semi-sacred weapons, sacred weapons, semi-immortal weapons, immortal weapons, or even divine weapons—” “all are born from the hands of weapon refiners!” “The path of weapon refining begins as an apprentice.” “Above that are Weapon Refiner, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Sac...
Before Ye Xinfang and Sun Wuye—
stood Daoist Murong, elegant and graceful. Her voice, as melodious as the heavens, sounded softly:
“This Core Disciple cherishes talent. If the 2 of you are willing to become my disciples, your future will be limitless.”
“In the world of cultivation—‘weapons’ carry weight above all else!”
“Whether it be spirit weapons, magical treasures, high-grade treasures, semi-sacred weapons, sacred weapons, semi-immortal weapons, immortal weapons, or even divine weapons—”
“all are born from the hands of weapon refiners!”
“The path of weapon refining begins as an apprentice.”
“Above that are Weapon Refiner, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Sacred Grandmaster, Divine Grandmaster, and Immortal Grandmaster.”
“Whichever level you reach—you will be able to forge weapons of that level!”
“Moreover, I possess countless techniques.”
“I hope you are wise enough to choose the Five Souls techniques that suit you best.”
“If you become my inheritor disciples—”
“not only can you cultivate the Five Souls techniques—”
“but you will also have the chance to become renowned master refiners!”
“With your talent—whether in power or refining—your future will be limitless!”
“Make your decision.”
Upon hearing this—
Ye Xinfang raised her head hesitantly.
She glanced at Daoist Bingqing standing beside Daoist Murong, then kowtowed 3 times firmly.
“Since childhood, I have dreamed of becoming a master weapon refiner.”
“Master—please accept my 3 bows!”
“Rise quickly.”
Daoist Murong smiled beautifully like a blooming flower, captivating everyone in the arena.
She did not forget to cast a slight glance at Daoist Bingqing beside her.
“Thank you, Master. This disciple will not disappoint you!”
Ye Xinfang smiled sweetly and stood up excitedly.
To become an inheritor disciple of a Core Disciple—
how could one not be delighted?
Daoist Bingqing glanced coldly at Daoist Murong, then took a deep breath.
After that, she turned to Sun Wuye, who was still kneeling.
A trace of expectation appeared in her beautiful eyes.
“And you… are you willing to become my disciple?”
Sun Wuye lowered his head, not daring to raise it, and replied in a low voice:
“Reporting to Core Disciple, I come from a family of weapon refiners and have a deep passion for this art.”
“I still wish to enter the Weapon Refining lineage.”
The moment she heard this—
a look of regret and displeasure appeared openly in Daoist Bingqing’s eyes!
All 4 peak-level talent disciples—
had slipped through her fingers!
And among them, 2—
had even become disciples of the person she “hated the most”—Daoist Murong!
Daoist Bingqing said nothing further to Sun Wuye.
After completing the inquiries—
it was determined that among the remaining 394 disciples:
89 entered the Alchemy lineage,
and another 67 entered the Weapon Refining lineage.
Seeing this—
the expression of the Daoist of the Five Souls darkened to the extreme!
From the original 560 disciples who should have belonged to the Five Souls lineage—
only 239 remained!
Including Xue Ziyan.
What angered him the most was—
among the 4 peak-level talents,
only “Xue Ziyan” remained!
Seeing her master’s expression—
Xue Ziyan hurriedly kowtowed and spoke gently:
“Master, please calm your anger.”
“You still have Ziyan.”
“Ziyan will definitely not disappoint you in the future!”
Hearing this—
the Daoist of the Five Souls calmed down slightly,
then smiled and said fondly:
“Hehe, good! My dear disciple—you must keep your word!”
“Master, rest assured. This disciple will not break her promise!”
Xue Ziyan replied firmly, her tone filled with determination no less than a man’s!
“Good! Such courage!”
the Daoist of the Five Souls praised.
Then he looked at her with eyes full of expectation.
“I will await your future performance.”
“If you satisfy me—I will reward you generously!”
“Rise!”
“Thank you, Master.”
After Xue Ziyan stood up—
the Daoist of the Five Souls returned to his seat.
Then—
Xue Ziyan led the 238 junior disciples to stand respectfully behind him.
Not long after—
the selection of the 217 disciples who possessed “Wind, Lightning, or both elemental souls”
was completed.
Among them—
5 possessed “dual Wind and Lightning souls,”
and all of them—
were accepted by the Daoist of Wind and Lightning into the Wind-Lightning lineage!
As for the rest—
32 entered the Talisman lineage
36 entered the Formation lineage
41 entered the Weapon Refining lineage
18 entered the Alchemy lineage
and the remaining 90—
who had mid- to high-level talent—
chose to remain in the Wind-Lightning lineage.
At this moment—
on the ranking battle stage—
there remained:
31 Ancient Soul disciples
26 Beast Soul disciples
24 Sacred Soul disciples
Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao stood side by side at the edge.
As for Tan Yun—
he stood alone, strikingly conspicuous.
Daoist of Talismans, Daoist Qiankun, Daoist Murong, and Daoist Bingqing—
all fixed their gazes on Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, and the remaining 82 disciples.
In their hearts—
they were all determined to seize as many “peak-level talent disciples” as possible!
At that moment—
the Daoist of the Ancient Soul rose from his seat.
He stepped forward, standing before the 31 Ancient Soul disciples.
His wrinkled face carried a trace of arrogance.
Though his voice was not loud—
it echoed clearly throughout the entire arena!
“The outer sect has the ‘Hidden Dragon Ranking’.”
“The inner sect has the ‘Crouching Dragon Ranking’!”
“Every disciple in my Ancient Soul lineage—is a top-tier talent!”
“Although the Ancient Soul lineage has only 19,000 disciples—the fewest among the 9 lineages—”
“within the top 1,000 of the ‘Crouching Dragon Ranking’—”
“300 are my disciples!”
At this point—
the Daoist of the Ancient Soul looked at the 31 disciples and said indifferently:
“This Core Disciple hopes that you will join the Ancient Soul lineage.”
“I do not easily accept inheritor disciples.”
“But—if one day, you can surpass all disciples in the lineage—”
“I will announce to the inner sect and accept you as my inheritor disciple!”
“Stay or leave—choose for yourselves!”
“Those who wish to enter the Ancient Soul lineage—step forward!”
The moment his words fell—
25 stepped forward, knelt, and kowtowed together.
“This disciple is willing to enter the Ancient Soul lineage!”
“Good!”
The Daoist of the Ancient Soul laughed in satisfaction.
But when he looked at the remaining 6 who had yet to choose—
his eyes clearly showed displeasure!
At the same time—
Daoist of Talismans, Daoist Qiankun, Daoist Murong, and Daoist Bingqing—
all turned their gazes toward the 6 disciples who possessed “peak-level Ancient Souls.”
The meaning in their eyes—
needed no words!
And at this moment—
Daoist Bingqing, who had not yet obtained even a single peak-level talent disciple—
made her decision—
to initiate the competition first!
However—
as if heaven was playing tricks on her!
Suddenly—
2 male and female disciples knelt before the Daoist of Talismans.
“This disciple greets Core Disciple! We wish to enter the Talisman lineage!”
Another 2—
prostrated before Daoist Qiankun.
“This disciple greets Core Disciple!”
As for the last 2—
they knelt before Daoist Murong and spoke in unison:
“This disciple greets Core Disciple!”
Daoist of Talismans and Daoist Qiankun—
both smiled in satisfaction and quickly helped the 4 disciples up,
immediately announcing—
that they would accept all 4 as “inheritor disciples”!
As for Daoist Murong—
she slowly turned to look at Daoist Bingqing.
In her eyes—
there was a faint trace of mockery.
Then, she transmitted a nearly inaudible voice directly into Daoist Bingqing’s ears:
“Daoist Bingqing… how pitiful.”
“Do try your best.”
“If in the end, not even a single peak-level talent disciple joins your Alchemy lineage…”
“I’m afraid—you won’t have the face to meet the head of the Alchemy lineage in the Immortal Sect!”
At that instant—
killing intent flashed in Daoist Bingqing’s eyes!
Her lips moved slightly—
as a cold voice transmission was sent back:
“Don’t celebrate too early…”
“This matter… is not over yet!”
