The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
The only option now— was to demonstrate his abilities in alchemy, weapon forging, talisman inscription, and formation arrays in front of the 9 chief disciples, so that at least 1 of them would be willing to accept him as a disciple! “Originally, I intended to take in Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, but Tan Yun interfered and I returned empty-handed!” “Among the 9 chief disciples, I am the only one who has not gained a single top-tier talent!” “And now you ask me to accept ‘trash’ like him?” “Shen...
“Enough, Mengyi.” Tan Yun looked at Mu Mengyi, who was crying, his eyes filled with pain.
“This matter… I will handle it myself.”
“Mm…” Mu Mengyi nodded forcefully, tears still streaming down her cheeks.
Tan Yun took a deep breath.
There was no way he would reveal that he possessed a “Primordial Soul” in front of the 9 chief disciples!
The only option now—
was to demonstrate his abilities in alchemy, weapon forging, talisman inscription, and formation arrays in front of the 9 chief disciples,
so that at least 1 of them would be willing to accept him as a disciple!
In truth, if it weren’t for the cultivation resources of the inner sect—
Tan Yun wouldn’t even consider entering the inner sect at all!
Having made up his mind, Tan Yun bowed deeply and spoke respectfully:
“May I ask the esteemed chiefs… is it truly the case that no one is willing to accept me as a disciple?”
“Hmph!” The Holy Soul lineage elder spoke first, his tone full of mockery.
“What do you think, trash?”
Inside, Tan Yun felt as if millions of wild horses were galloping wildly. He cursed the other party’s ancestors for 18 generations in his heart without restraint!
However, just as he was about to reveal his abilities—
a voice suddenly rang out:
“Honored chief disciples, I have a question for Tan Yun. Please grant me permission.”
The one who spoke was Shen Qingqiu, the Grand Elder of the outer sect.
“Granted,” Elder Bingqing replied indifferently.
“Thank you, Chief.”
In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingqiu leaped onto the ranking stage and stood before Tan Yun, his expression more serious than ever before.
“I have only 1 question.”
“After the test… what you told me about your talent—was it true or false?”
Tan Yun recalled that moment—
when Shen Qingqiu had asked whether he possessed top-tier talent,
and he had replied that although it wasn’t top-tier… it was not inferior to it!
His thoughts settled as he answered firmly:
“It is absolutely true!”
“Good!” Shen Qingqiu’s eyes shone with determination.
“For you… I am willing toเดิมพัน everything!”
As soon as he finished speaking—
he knelt down before Elder Bingqing without hesitation!
“I humbly beg you, Chief—please accept Tan Yun into the Alchemy lineage!”
“I believe in him—he will not disappoint you!”
“Shen Qingqiu! How dare you!” Elder Bingqing’s expression turned cold, anger flickering within.
“Originally, I intended to take in Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, but Tan Yun interfered and I returned empty-handed!”
“Among the 9 chief disciples, I am the only one who has not gained a single top-tier talent!”
“And now you ask me to accept ‘trash’ like him?”
“Shen Qingqiu—what are your intentions!”
Hearing this, Shen Qingqiu remained kneeling respectfully and spoke words that stunned everyone present:
“My Lady… in my entire life, I have never recommended anyone to you.”
“But this time, I swear to the heavens—if you accept Tan Yun into the Alchemy lineage—”
“He alone… is enough to rival all the disciples who passed the test!”
He raised his right hand, pointing to the sky like a sword, his expression resolute.
“I, Shen Qingqiu, swear—accepting Tan Yun into the Alchemy lineage will be a great blessing to it!”
“Tan Yun will never bring you disgrace!”
“If within 10–5 years I cannot prove my words—may the heavens strike me down, and may I die a miserable death!”
“My Lady… I only ask that you accept Tan Yun into the Alchemy lineage—I beg you!”
After speaking, he kowtowed to the ground, refusing to rise!
This scene—
left all the disciples completely stunned!
Only now did they realize—
that the Grand Elder of the outer sect was actually a “servant” of Elder Bingqing!
And even more unimaginable—
Shen Qingqiu trusted Tan Yun so much that he was willing to make a deadly oath just to secure his entry into the Alchemy lineage!
“Elder… you don’t have to go this far.” Tan Yun’s figure flickered as he appeared before Shen Qingqiu, his eyes trembling like stars with emotion.
He had never expected—
that the other party would trust him to such an extent!
“If I don’t help you now, then who will?” Shen Qingqiu smiled kindly before continuing to kowtow.
Elder Bingqing watched the two of them for a long time—
before her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
“Very well… I will accept him.”
“But Qingqiu—from this moment on, I will expel you from the Shen family!”
“Only when Tan Yun proves he does not disappoint me in the future… will I restore your name to the family registry!”
“Many thanks, My Lady!” Shen Qingqiu kowtowed once more before rising to his feet.
He looked at Tan Yun kindly and spoke in a serious tone:
“Do not disappoint me… and more importantly, do not disappoint the Chief. Do you understand?”
“I understand!” Tan Yun replied firmly, his voice resolute like steel.
“I will never disappoint you… never!”
“Good. I will be waiting to see your performance in the inner sect.” Shen Qingqiu gave a faint smile before stepping down from the ranking stage.
Elder Bingqing did not even spare Tan Yun a glance.
If not for Shen Qingqiu kneeling and pleading—how could she possibly accept “trash” like him?
At the same time, the other 8 chief disciples all looked at Elder Bingqing with expressions of surprise and ridicule.
As for Shen Qingqiu’s claim—
“That Tan Yun alone is equal to all the disciples who passed the test”—
to them… it was nothing more than a joke!
Elder Murong glanced at Elder Bingqing and let out a soft scoff.
“Heh, I never expected Chief Bingqing to have such keen insight—to actually accept Tan Yun into the Alchemy lineage.”
Though not stated outright, anyone could tell—
she was mocking her as being “blind”!
“Whom I choose to accept is my business. What does it have to do with you?” Elder Bingqing retorted coldly.
Then she turned to Tan Yun and said icily:
“You do not need to bow to me. Although I allowed you to enter the Alchemy lineage, from now on—you will only be a ‘menial disciple’ in the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden.”
“In 10 days, go report to the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden.”
After that, she turned to the other disciples of the Alchemy lineage, her tone softening slightly:
“In 10 days, at Chen hour (07:00–09:00), report to the 9th Elder of the Alchemy lineage.”
“We obey!” the disciples responded in unison.
Elder Bingqing had no intention of staying even a moment longer.
With a flick of her sleeve, she soared into the sky, stepping onto a flying sword and transforming into a streak of golden light that shot toward the eastern horizon, disappearing in an instant.
Afterward—
the elders of the Wind-Thunder lineage, Talisman lineage, Ancient Soul lineage, and Qiankun lineage each summoned their spirit vessels and led their disciples into the sky.
The Holy Soul lineage elder cast a cold glance at Tan Yun before controlling his spirit vessel and returning to the inner sect with his disciples.
Originally, the Five Souls elder, the Beast Soul lineage elder, and Elder Murong were also preparing to take all their disciples back.
However, Xue Ziyan, Mu Mengyi, and Zhong Wu Shiyao requested to remain in the outer sect for another 10 days.
Thus, the 3 elders departed first with the others.
Looking at the 3 women, their brows furrowed with worry—
Tan Yun smiled casually.
“It’s nothing. Just a menial disciple in the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden.”
“You don’t need to worry. It won’t be long before I shed this status.”
“We know you can do it.” The 3 nodded with confidence.
At that moment—
Shen Qingqiu looked at the 4 of them, his brows slightly furrowed, before speaking:
“Tan Yun, come with me to Wuji Hall. I have something important to tell you.”
“The 3 of you, come as well.”
Before leaving, he dismissed the entire gathering of disciples.
Soon—
inside Wuji Hall—
Shen Qingqiu stood in the main hall, his expression solemn.
“I will speak plainly.”
“Point 1 — The Enforcement Elder of the inner sect, Qiu Yongming, is the cousin of Qiu Yongchong, whom you killed.”
“Therefore, after entering the inner sect, you must be extremely cautious of him!”
“Point 2 — Murong Hong, the grandfather of Murong Kun, is the 2nd Elder of the Beast Soul lineage.”
“This man is cunning and ruthless. You must beware of his revenge!”
“Moreover, Mengyi is also in the Beast Soul lineage. He may target you in order to avenge Murong Kun!”
“Point 3 — You killed Linghu Changkong. The Holy Soul lineage elder will never let you go.”
“Even if he doesn’t act personally, those sent to kill you… will definitely be top experts of the Holy Soul lineage in the inner sect!”
Shen Qingqiu paused briefly before continuing in a firm tone:
“Finally—remember this well.”
“Elder Bingqing… is my young mistress.”
“The reason I helped you enter the Alchemy lineage is because I hope you will achieve outstanding results and rise to prominence—”
“so that my young mistress will be willing to protect you.”
“Do you… understand my intentions?”
