The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Anyone who possesses a Beast Embryo Soul should return to their true roots by joining the Beast Soul lineage.” “If you have a Beast Embryo Soul but do not choose the Beast Soul lineage, it will be the greatest mistake of your life!” “Although other lineages also have elders who cultivate beast soul techniques and possess similar cultivation manuals, to be frank, those elders who are not from my lineage are merely ‘amateurs’!” “All of you should know that upon reaching the Soul Refinement Realm,...
After finishing his words, the Pure Elder did not even bother to glance at Elder Murong again.
At this moment, all her hopes were placed on the 26 disciples with Beast Embryo Souls, the 24 disciples with Holy Embryo Souls, as well as Zhong Wushiyao, Mu Mengyi, and Tan Yun.
As Elder Murong had said, Elder Bingqing was truly under immense pressure right now.
Rather than saying that the 9 chief disciples of the inner sect had come to the outer sect to select new disciples, it would be more accurate to say they were “competing” for the most talented geniuses.
Behind this competition for disciples lay the expectations of the Immortal Sect and even the Sacred Sect.
Only those inner sect chief disciples who could recruit the most talented individuals would be able to nurture future powerhouses for their respective Immortal and Sacred lineages!
One could easily imagine just how much pressure Elder Bingqing was facing—because up to this point, she had not managed to recruit even a single top-tier genius!
She could only hope to attract a few more exceptional talents.
First, to avoid embarrassment in front of the other 8 chief disciples.
Second, to have an explanation for the chief of the Immortal Sect’s Pill lineage.
At that moment, the Beast Soul lineage elder swept his gaze across the 26 disciples, his cloudy eyes filled with anticipation.
“Anyone who possesses a Beast Embryo Soul should return to their true roots by joining the Beast Soul lineage.”
“If you have a Beast Embryo Soul but do not choose the Beast Soul lineage, it will be the greatest mistake of your life!”
“Although other lineages also have elders who cultivate beast soul techniques and possess similar cultivation manuals, to be frank, those elders who are not from my lineage are merely ‘amateurs’!”
“All of you should know that upon reaching the Soul Refinement Realm, one must fuse with a powerful beast soul to increase strength.”
“And only our Beast Soul lineage in the Immortal Sect raises countless beasts for you to train, fight, and harvest souls from. This is something none of the 9 major lineages can compare to!”
“That’s all I have to say. The rest is up to your own decision.”
“Of course, once you enter the inner sect’s Beast Soul lineage, those who perform exceptionally will be accepted as my personal disciples!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all 26 disciples became excited. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
“Disciple greets the Grand Elder! We are willing to join the Beast Soul lineage!”
“Good! Very good!” The Beast Soul elder laughed loudly. “No need for formalities!”
“Thank you, Grand Elder!” The 26 disciples stood up and respectfully took their places behind him.
Seeing that all 26 Beast Soul geniuses had joined the Beast Soul lineage, even the elders of Arrays, Qiankun, and Murong could not help but feel surprised and disappointed.
A trace of worry appeared in Elder Bingqing’s eyes.
“Sigh…” Elder Murong glanced sideways at Bingqing, his voice soft yet meaningful.
“Head Bingqing, look—only 27 people remain now. I’m afraid you won’t obtain even a single top-tier disciple, will you?”
Despite the harsh mockery, Elder Bingqing remained calm and unmoved.
“Keep pretending. I want to see if you can maintain that composure when you fail to recruit even one disciple!” Elder Murong muttered with a cold smile.
At the same time, the Holy Soul lineage elder, still grieving the loss of his great-grandchild, swept his gaze across the 24 disciples. His clear voice echoed far and wide.
“Holy Embryo Souls refer collectively to the embryonic souls of Time, Space, Light, and Death.”
“The value of these 4 attributes needs no further explanation—you all understand it well.”
“Our Holy Soul lineage has produced countless geniuses and has always been the strongest among the 9 major lineages of the inner sect!”
“The Crouching Dragon Ranking is a place of honor and rewards that every inner sect disciple strives to compete for.”
“For nearly 100 years, the number 1 position on the Crouching Dragon Ranking has always belonged to disciples from my Holy Soul lineage!”
“No other lineage has ever been able to shake this position!”
“As the head of this lineage, I hope you will join the Holy Soul lineage and engrave your names upon the Crouching Dragon Ranking!”
“Lastly, let me tell you—aside from the opportunity to enter the Fallen Deity Valley trial, the rankings of the outer sect’s Crouching Dragon Ranking are of no real use!”
“But the inner sect’s Crouching Dragon Ranking is different. You will only understand how abundant and precious the rewards are once you enter the inner sect!”
“Choosing the Holy Soul lineage is the only correct choice. Those who are willing, step forward!”
Under the satisfied gaze of the Holy Soul elder, and the pained expressions of the chief disciples from the 4 lineages—Arrays, Talismans, Weapons, and Pills—all 24 Holy Embryo Soul disciples stepped forward simultaneously, bowed, and said:
“Disciple greets the lineage head!”
“Rise.”
After allowing them to stand, the Holy Soul elder turned his gaze toward Zhong Wushiyao and Mu Mengyi. His cloudy eyes were filled with intense anticipation.
“What type of dual embryonic souls do you possess?”
Not only the Holy Soul elder, but all 8 other chief disciples were also watching with great expectation!
In that instant, Zhong Wushiyao and Mu Mengyi became the center of attention for over 1,000,000 people!
The two exchanged glances and smiled faintly before their expressions turned serious.
Zhong Wushiyao knelt before the 9 chief disciples. Her lips parted, and her clear voice rang in everyone’s ears:
“I, Zhong Wushiyao, possess both a Space Embryo Soul and the Profound Yin Sacred Body.”
Though her voice was gentle, it was like a bomb exploding among the more than 1,000,000 people present, as well as within the hearts of the 9 chief disciples!
The over 1,000,000 outer sect disciples, even though they knew Shen Qingqiu had forbidden any noise under severe punishment, could only suppress their shock as they stared at Zhong Wushiyao.
“What?!” The Holy Soul elder’s eyes widened. His aged body trembled as he instantly appeared before Zhong Wushiyao.
His voice quivered slightly with excitement:
“Relax your mind—let me examine you!”
Zhong Wushiyao glanced at Tan Yun. Seeing him nod slightly, she agreed.
“Disciple accepts.”
The Holy Soul lineage elder released his spiritual sense and entered her mind.
After a long while, he burst into laughter, as if he had completely forgotten the grief of losing his great-grandchild.
“Hahaha! The heavens favor me! The heavens favor my Holy Soul lineage!”
“This little girl not only possesses a Space Embryo Soul, but also the Profound Yin Sacred Body—the number 1 among the 3 great Yin Sacred Bodies!”
He looked at Zhong Wushiyao with extreme excitement.
“My disciple, quickly bow to your master! I will grant you the highest honor within the Holy Soul lineage!”
“I will accept you as my final disciple!”
The moment these words were spoken, all the outer sect disciples and elders were shocked!
But before Zhong Wushiyao could respond—
Elder Bingqing, who had never competed for disciples before, suddenly moved and grabbed her hand.
She turned to the Holy Soul elder and said coldly:
“Lineage Head, you haven’t even let me speak, yet you’ve already decided she will become your disciple?”
“You—”
The Holy Soul elder had just opened his mouth—
When the Talisman lineage elder, the Qiankun lineage elder, and Elder Murong all appeared in front of Zhong Wushiyao almost simultaneously, speaking nearly in unison:
“I wish to accept you as my final disciple. Wushiyao, quickly bow and become my disciple!”
The scene of 5 top-tier powerhouses competing for a single disciple—
Was enough to show just how “terrifying” Zhong Wushiyao’s talent was!
Zhong Wushiyao looked at all 5 of them, not daring to offend any. For a moment, she was at a complete loss.
The Holy Soul elder immediately laughed.
“Wushiyao! No need to think!”
“You’ve seen it yourself— all 24 Holy Soul disciples have already joined my lineage. What is there to hesitate about?”
“Come be my disciple! In the future, I will dote on you and reserve all treasures for you!”
“Wushiyao, don’t listen to him,” Elder Bingqing said, still holding her hand tightly.
“Quickly call me Master.”
Zhong Wushiyao pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then said:
“Honored lineage heads, please allow this disciple some time to consider.”
Then she slowly turned her head to look at Tan Yun.
“I truly don’t know what to choose… what should I do?”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The gazes of the 9 chief disciples instantly shot toward Tan Yun.
The Holy Soul elder’s heart sank—
And at that very moment, Tan Yun spoke without the slightest hesitation:
“Choose the Weapon lineage.”
In Tan Yun’s view, Zhong Wushiyao already possessed the “9 Heavens Mysterious Divine Sword Technique” he had given her, so there was no need for her to join the Holy Soul lineage to cultivate.
Moreover—
There was no way he would allow her to become the disciple of an “enemy” like the Holy Soul elder!
Furthermore, she possessed a Space Embryo Soul, which would allow her in the future to integrate a mustard-seed-sized spacetime into magical weapons.
Without a doubt—
The Weapon lineage was the most suitable choice for her!
