The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
In the future, I will devote all resources to nurturing you, making you the brightest star of the inner sect!” “Beast Soul Head, this is a matter between Mengyi and me—do not interfere!” Even the usually composed Elder Bingqing began to show anger. “If I don’t want her to offend anyone… then what’s wrong with me offending a few more?” Tan Yun thought to himself, looking at Mu Mengyi with a gentle gaze before speaking 4 words: “Mengyi—choose the Beast lineage.” “Hahaha! I will take a look,” the F...
After pondering for a moment, the Beast Soul elder recalled Zhong Wushiyao’s earlier words—that Tan Yun was Mu Mengyi’s fiancé. He also remembered the incident where the Holy Soul elder had attempted to kill Tan Yun.
At this moment, he felt reassured—
There was no way Mu Mengyi would choose the Holy Soul lineage!
Thus, compared to the other 4 lineages—Pill, Array, Weapon, and Talisman—as well as himself, the probability that Mu Mengyi would choose the Beast Soul lineage was extremely high!
With this in mind, the Beast Soul elder looked at Mu Mengyi with a gentle expression.
“Although I already have 3 personal disciples, I have not had a single closed-door disciple. This has always been my regret.”
“Little girl, would you be willing to fulfill this wish of mine? Come, become my disciple.”
However, just as Mu Mengyi was about to speak—
Elder Murong suddenly let out a soft laugh.
“Beast Soul Head, what elegant words. What do you mean by ‘regret of not having a closed-door disciple’?”
“If you want a closed-door disciple, your lineage in the inner sect has plenty of disciples. You could choose anyone—why act pitiful in front of Mengyi?”
The Beast Soul elder turned sharply and stared at Elder Murong, his voice low and cold.
“Head Murong, are you deliberately provoking me?”
“No, no. In terms of seniority, I am still your junior—how would I dare offend you?” Although she said this, Elder Murong’s demeanor clearly did not match her words.
“I am merely stating the truth.”
She walked straight toward Mu Mengyi and smiled sweetly.
“Mengyi, you and Wushiyao are close friends. Wushiyao is already my disciple—why not come along as well?”
“In the future, the 2 of you can both be my closed-door disciples. Staying together, you can take care of each other, isn’t that better?”
“Oh, right. Tan Yun is also your fiancé. If he enters the inner sect, I, as the lineage head, will accept him as well—even if I must break the rules and take 3 closed-door disciples. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Mu Mengyi immediately hesitated.
Weapon forging… was not something she truly desired.
But if things were as Elder Murong said—
She would be able to stay with Tan Yun and Wushiyao in the future…
Wasn’t that what she had always longed for?
At that moment, Elder Bingqing noticed Mu Mengyi’s hesitation and stepped forward, speaking gently:
“Mengyi, don’t worry. Just speak your heart. You… don’t like weapon forging, do you?”
Mu Mengyi pressed her lips together, then nodded slightly.
This sight made Elder Murong’s heart sink.
On the contrary, Elder Bingqing smiled.
“In that case, why not join my Pill lineage?”
“What’s so good about that!” The Beast Soul elder’s eyes turned red with urgency.
“Little girl, you possess a Beast Embryo Soul—you should become my disciple!”
“I will cherish you with all my heart. No one will dare bully you! In the future, I will devote all resources to nurturing you, making you the brightest star of the inner sect!”
“Beast Soul Head, this is a matter between Mengyi and me—do not interfere!” Even the usually composed Elder Bingqing began to show anger.
“You—”
The Beast Soul elder had just opened his mouth—
Thud!
Mu Mengyi suddenly knelt down.
“This disciple thanks all the lineage heads for your kindness. I am deeply grateful.”
“May I ask all of you to grant me some time to consider… would that be acceptable?”
She frowned slightly.
Because she knew—
If she chose any one side now, she would inevitably offend the others.
Moreover, she was well aware—
Because of Wushiyao’s matter, Tan Yun had already offended several lineage heads.
She could not ask for his opinion again; otherwise, Tan Yun’s situation in the inner sect would become even more difficult in the future.
At that very moment, Tan Yun, seeing that she did not ask him, immediately understood her concerns.
“If I don’t want her to offend anyone… then what’s wrong with me offending a few more?”
Tan Yun thought to himself, looking at Mu Mengyi with a gentle gaze before speaking 4 words:
“Mengyi—choose the Beast lineage.”
“Hahaha! Kid, you’ve got a sharp eye!” The Beast Soul elder laughed loudly, praising Tan Yun without restraint.
In contrast—
The expressions of the Holy Soul elder, the Talisman lineage elder, the Qiankun lineage elder, and Elder Bingqing all turned extremely grim.
Only Elder Murong, who had already obtained Zhong Wushiyao, remained calm despite a trace of disappointment.
Because—
What master would ever think they had too many genius disciples?
Mu Mengyi bowed to the Beast Soul elder, then kowtowed 3 times in succession and spoke respectfully:
“This disciple Mu Mengyi greets Master. May Master enjoy longevity equal to heaven and earth!”
“Hahaha! Good! Very good!” The Beast Soul elder laughed heartily, his wrinkled face filled with joy.
“My dear disciple, quickly rise!”
“Yes, Master!” Mu Mengyi stood up.
The Beast Soul elder smiled somewhat awkwardly.
“My disciple, I never expected to take a female closed-door disciple, so I did not prepare any precious gifts for you.”
“How about this—when we return to the inner sect, I will give you a high-grade spiritual weapon flying sword with both Death and Beast attributes.”
“Thank you, Master!” Mu Mengyi was overjoyed.
“Hehe, very well. Let me take a look at your fiancé’s talent,” the Beast Soul elder said with a smile, beckoning.
“Tan Yun, come here. Let me see.”
“This disciple obeys.” Tan Yun stepped forward and stood before him.
In an instant, the “Primordial Spirit” floating within the space between his brows vanished, sinking deep into his consciousness without a trace.
“Relax your mind. Let me examine you,” the Beast Soul elder said as he released his spiritual sense into Tan Yun’s soul.
What he saw was—
7 embryonic souls sitting cross-legged within the soul pool, each emitting a faint golden glow.
However, after only a moment—
Disappointment appeared in his eyes.
Because not only was there no fluctuation of metal-attribute power, but Tan Yun’s embryonic souls also looked no different from ordinary metal embryonic souls.
Under everyone’s gaze—
The Beast Soul elder’s brows slowly furrowed.
“Tan Yun, open the eyes of your embryonic souls.”
“This disciple obeys.”
Tan Yun controlled the 7 embryonic souls. The moment they opened their eyes—
To conceal the anomaly, he transformed their gaze from a primordial state into one of emptiness—lifeless and devoid of spirit.
Sigh…
A long sigh sounded.
The Beast Soul elder withdrew his spiritual sense from Tan Yun’s soul and silently shook his head.
Mu Mengyi, who knew that Tan Yun possessed a “Primordial Soul,” pretended not to know and asked anxiously:
“Master… what happened?”
“My disciple, Tan Yun’s embryonic soul should be of the metal attribute… but unfortunately, there is not the slightest trace of metal spiritual power…” the Beast Soul elder sighed.
“What a pity—he is merely a worthless embryonic soul.”
“That’s impossible! How could Tan Yun’s talent be so low? Master, please examine him again!” Mu Mengyi said urgently.
She feared that her master might not be able to perceive Tan Yun’s “Primordial Soul.” If that were the case—
Tan Yun might not even be able to enter the inner sect!
Because those with defective embryonic souls had no qualification!
“My disciple, I understand your feelings, but I have seen clearly. Tan Yun is truly a low-grade, worthless embryonic soul,” the Beast Soul elder said firmly.
“Tan Yun, don’t move. Let me take a look as well,” Elder Murong said as she released her spiritual sense into Tan Yun’s soul. After a brief moment, she withdrew it and nodded.
“It is indeed a worthless embryonic soul.”
“Impossible! My brother-in-law is this strong—how could he have a worthless soul!” Xue Ziyan muttered, then turned to the Five Souls elder with teary eyes.
“Master, please take a look! I absolutely don’t believe my brother-in-law has a worthless soul!”
“Alright, my disciple, don’t be anxious. I will take a look,” the Five Souls elder said kindly before sending his spiritual sense into Tan Yun’s soul.
A few breaths later—
He withdrew his spiritual sense and shook his head lightly.
“Ziyan… Tan Yun truly has a worthless embryonic soul. Even a mid-grade metal attribute would not be considered worthless…”
