The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Elder… this disciple has something to ask for your help with.” “Speak.” “This disciple fears that the Enforcement Elder of the inner sect, the Chief of the Holy Soul lineage, and the 2nd Elder of the Beast Soul lineage… might take action against my family…” Before he could finish— Shen Qingqiu spoke confidently, “You don’t need to worry about that. They would not do such a thing.” “You may not know this, but after outer disciples advance to inner disciples, everyone must swear an oath.” “No mat...
“The disciple understands.” Tan Yun looked at Shen Qingqiu with gratitude in his eyes.
“Elder, please rest assured. This disciple will definitely not disappoint you!”
“Good. I believe in you!” Shen Qingqiu nodded. Then he turned to Mu Mengyi, Xue Ziyan, and Zhong Wu Shiyao, giving them instructions about precautions within their respective lineages…
By the time he finished speaking—it was already night.
At that moment, Tan Yun seemed to recall something, his expression turning slightly serious.
“Elder… this disciple has something to ask for your help with.”
“Speak.”
“This disciple fears that the Enforcement Elder of the inner sect, the Chief of the Holy Soul lineage, and the 2nd Elder of the Beast Soul lineage… might take action against my family…”
Before he could finish—
Shen Qingqiu spoke confidently,
“You don’t need to worry about that. They would not do such a thing.”
“You may not know this, but after outer disciples advance to inner disciples, everyone must swear an oath.”
“No matter how deep the enmity between disciples is—it must not extend to the other party’s family, nor may innocent people be killed indiscriminately.”
“All 3 of those elders rose from inner disciples themselves, so you can rest assured.”
“Moreover, during the 2 years you were training in the Fallen Immortal Valley, I personally went to Wangyue City to check on your family.”
“They are doing well. I informed them of your situation—of course, only the good news, not the bad.”
“Right now, what you should do most is not return home, but focus on strengthening yourself in the inner sect.”
“Wait until you have the ability to protect yourself before going back.”
“If you return now… and are ambushed along the way, the consequences would be disastrous!”
Upon learning that his family was safe—
Tan Yun felt greatly relieved and quickly bowed.
“This disciple understands. Thank you, Elder!”
Shen Qingqiu’s expression turned serious.
“If you truly want to thank me—then go make a name for yourself in the inner sect!”
“This time, the Young Miss accepted you because of my reputation.”
“The other chief disciples in the inner sect will surely gossip about you behind your back.”
“You must make them ‘shut up’!”
Tan Yun said confidently,
“Elder, please rest assured. One day—the Chief will know that I am the pride of the Pill lineage!”
“Mm.” Shen Qingqiu nodded.
Suddenly—
A voice sounded from outside the hall.
“Junior Wang Yuan has an urgent matter to report to the Grand Elder!”
“Enter.”
After Wang Yuan came in, Shen Qingqiu asked,
“What is it?”
Wang Yuan did not answer immediately, but glanced at Tan Yun and the other 3.
“You all, step out first.”
After Tan Yun and the other 3 left—
Wang Yuan stepped forward and whispered into Shen Qingqiu’s ear, then withdrew.
Shen Qingqiu frowned slightly before speaking softly,
“Shiyao, come in.”
“Tan Yun, you 2 wait outside.”
A few breaths later—
Zhong Wu Shiyao, filled with confusion, walked into Wuji Hall, bowed, and said,
“Elder, what are your instructions?”
Shen Qingqiu let out a soft sigh.
“Shiyao… 2 years ago, the elder who saved your life and brought you back to the sect told me that after you passed the trial in the Fallen Immortal Valley, she would come to see you.”
“But just now, she sent word that…”
“A few months ago, she was injured in the Fallen Beast Valley, and now she cannot come to see you.”
Hearing this—
Zhong Wu Shiyao asked anxiously,
“Elder, her injuries… are they serious?”
“According to Wang Yuan’s report—very serious,” Shen Qingqiu answered truthfully.
“Very serious…” Zhong Wu Shiyao’s expression changed immediately, her voice full of worry.
“Elder, please tell me the identity of my benefactor. I want to visit her!”
At that moment—
Memories from when she was 5 years old surfaced in her mind.
After her adoptive parents passed away one after another—
She had to face the world alone, nearly dying from cold and hunger.
And at that time—
A “Fairy Sister” dressed in black appeared… and saved her life…
Unfortunately—
Back then, the “Fairy Sister” wore a black veil, so Zhong Wu Shiyao had never seen her true face.
Shen Qingqiu hesitated several times before finally speaking,
“Shiyao, I can tell you her identity… but you must promise not to reveal to anyone that she is seriously injured.”
“This disciple will definitely keep it a secret!” Zhong Wu Shiyao replied quickly.
“Remember this well—your benefactor’s surname is Tang. She is the Supreme Elder of the Pill lineage of the Immortal Sect,” Shen Qingqiu said.
“What… the Fairy Sister is actually the Supreme Elder of the Pill lineage of the Immortal Sect?!”
Zhong Wu Shiyao was utterly shocked.
She had never imagined—
That the one who saved her life would be such a high-ranking figure within the Immortal Sect of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!
Shen Qingqiu nodded.
“Shiyao, inner disciples are not yet qualified to enter the Immortal Sect.”
“You must wait until you reach the Soul Refinement Realm and advance into the Immortal Sect. Only then will you have a chance to meet your benefactor.”
“Of course… if she recovers from her injuries, she might come to find you at the weapon-refining lineage of the inner sect.”
“Yes, Master. I will remember,” Zhong Wu Shiyao said happily, her heart filled with anticipation.
“Haha, good. I’ve said everything that needed to be said.” Shen Qingqiu smiled as he stroked his beard.
“You and Tan Yun should return to the inner sect. When you have time, don’t forget to come back and visit me.”
“This disciple takes his leave.”
Zhong Wu Shiyao stepped out of the hall, then turned to Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi.
“The elder said that when we have time, we should come back and visit him often.”
“Mm.” Tan Yun nodded.
At that moment—
Mu Mengyi seemed to recall something, her eyes turning red.
She turned back toward Wuji Hall and suddenly knelt down.
“Elder… to Mengyi, you have always been like a grandfather.”
“Thank you for taking care of me all these years.”
“Today, I have grown up and am about to leave… please accept this bow from your granddaughter!”
As she finished speaking—
She lowered her head to the ground, a tear falling onto the floor.
“You silly child! What are you doing? Get up quickly!”
Shen Qingqiu hurried out of the hall, his aged eyes filled with tears.
“You recognize me as your grandfather… that alone makes me satisfied… very satisfied!”
He extended his trembling hands and helped Mu Mengyi up.
In his mind, he recalled the scene from 5 years ago—
A frail young girl kneeling at the mountain gate,
Tears streaming down her face as she sobbed,
“Will you… accept me as your granddaughter…?”
“Of course! In this grandfather’s heart, you have always been my granddaughter!”
The tears in Shen Qingqiu’s clouded eyes had not yet fallen before they were carried away by the wind.
“Grandfather… do you remember? 5 years ago, you asked about my identity many times, but I never told you,”
Mu Mengyi wiped her tears as she spoke softly.
“Today… I will tell you. Is that alright?”
“Alright, alright. If you want to speak, then speak. If you don’t, I won’t force you,” Shen Qingqiu replied gently.
Meanwhile, Xue Ziyan looked at Mu Mengyi with curiosity.
Although the two were as close as sisters—
She had never known Mu Mengyi’s background.
In the past, she had asked many times—
But every time, Mu Mengyi would avoid the question and secretly cry alone.
Over time, she stopped asking.
“Grandfather… have you ever heard of the ‘Mu Feng Sacred Dynasty,’ one of the 4 great sacred dynasties from 10 years ago?”
“Of course I know…” Shen Qingqiu said slowly.
“Tang Yongsheng, the current ruler of the Tang Jun Sacred Dynasty, led his army to destroy the Mu Feng Dynasty…”
Suddenly—
His old body trembled, and his expression changed drastically.
“Could it be… you are from the Mu Feng Dynasty?!”
“Yes…” Mu Mengyi bit her lip, her voice trembling.
“Back then… I was the young princess of the Mu Feng Dynasty.”
“My father was killed, and my mother’s fate is unknown…”
“I had to flee for 5 years before arriving at Huangfu Sacred Mountain.”
“If you hadn’t taken me in that day… I would have long since become food for beasts…”
As her words fell—
Shen Qingqiu was completely stunned!
Xue Ziyan and Zhong Wu Shiyao were the same—
The two of them stared at Mu Mengyi in disbelief.
The young woman before them—
Once possessed a status so noble that it could shake the heavens!
