The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Zhou Run, give me a brief explanation.” “Yes, Senior Brother Tan.” Zhou Run took a deep breath and began: “Our Alchemy Line has a total of 12 elders, led by the Chief Elder.” “It can be said that the Chief Elder’s word can determine the life and death of the other elders.” “Besides servant disciples, the Alchemy Line also has more than 50,000 alchemy disciples, all under the supervision of the other 11 elders.” “Among them, each elder has several talented alchemy geniuses and outstanding discipl...
“Whoosh!”
Under the dim moonlight,
a white figure shot out from the cave, transforming into a young man dressed in dark red robes.
The man was handsome and imposing, his face bearing a striking resemblance to Li Ziquan.
And he was—Li Zi’an!
When Li Zi’an saw Li Ziquan’s miserable state—his body mangled, covered in blood, missing both an arm and a leg—
his whole body trembled violently.
His handsome face twisted into something almost demonic!
“Second Brother! Tell me—who did this to you?!”
“Waa… Big Brother… it was Tan Yunjian… that bastard!”
As if finding a lifeline,
Li Ziquan cried like a child!
“Tan Yunjian! I will kill you!”
Li Zi’an’s eyes turned bloodshot as his roar echoed through the night!
“Big Brother, don’t act rashly!”
“You can avenge me—but you must not kill him, or you’ll be punished by sect rules!”
Li Ziquan cried out to stop him.
“B-Big Brother… it hurts… it hurts so much…”
“Second Brother, endure it for now. I’ll take you to Master for treatment.”
“Once your matter is settled, I will avenge you tonight!”
Li Zi’an said with fury surging in his chest,
as he carefully lifted his younger brother.
Then he stepped onto his flying sword and soared toward the immortal peak where the 12th Elder of the Alchemy Line resided…
After another 2 hours,
a heavy atmosphere weighed down on all the servant disciples.
They feared they would soon face Li Zi’an’s wrath!
Meanwhile,
Tan Yunjian lay leisurely on the grass under the moonlight,
his expression calm, as if nothing could disturb him.
He looked at the restless crowd and smiled faintly.
“I don’t know much about the Alchemy Line yet. Zhou Run, give me a brief explanation.”
“Yes, Senior Brother Tan.”
Zhou Run took a deep breath and began:
“Our Alchemy Line has a total of 12 elders, led by the Chief Elder.”
“It can be said that the Chief Elder’s word can determine the life and death of the other elders.”
“Besides servant disciples, the Alchemy Line also has more than 50,000 alchemy disciples, all under the supervision of the other 11 elders.”
“Among them, each elder has several talented alchemy geniuses and outstanding disciples, who are the core forces trained intensively.”
“Because every 5 years, the strongest disciples must participate in the ‘Grand Competition of the 9 Inner Sect Lines’ to compete for entry into the ‘Eternal Immortal Realm’…”
Upon hearing this,
Tan Yunjian suddenly sat up!
His eyes filled with excitement.
“Wait! The Eternal Immortal Realm?”
“Isn’t that the battlefield of the 2nd Divine War? Isn’t its entrance controlled by the Eternal Immortal Sect?!”
Zhou Run answered honestly:
“Senior Brother Tan is correct.”
“The Eternal Immortal Realm is controlled by the ‘Eternal Immortal Sect,’ one of the 3 ancient sects of the Heavenly Punishment Mountains.”
“But it seems our sect master has some kind of agreement with their sect master.”
“So each time the Eternal Immortal Realm opens, the Eternal Immortal Sect grants a quota for our Huangfu Sacred Sect to enter.”
“Of course, the ‘Divine Spirit Immortal Palace’ also receives a quota.”
“When the time comes, inner sect disciples from the 3 ancient sects will gather in the Eternal Immortal Realm to undergo trials and compete.”
After hearing all this,
Tan Yunjian’s heart burned with excitement!
He longed to enter the Eternal Immortal Realm to search for his “Hongmeng Divine Sword”!
Suppressing his excitement,
his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Then… how long until the Eternal Immortal Realm opens again?”
“Senior Brother Tan, the trials are also held every 5 years.”
“The last one was held 2 years ago, so the next will begin in 3 years.”
After answering,
Zhou Run hesitated for a moment before speaking:
“Senior Brother Tan… are you planning to participate?”
“Of course I am! Why—am I not allowed?”
Tan Yunjian asked.
Zhou Run paused, his expression conflicted, as if he wanted to speak but didn’t dare.
“Speak. What is it?”
Tan Yunjian frowned.
Zhou Run lowered his voice:
“Senior Brother Tan… servant disciples like us… have no right to participate.”
Tan Yunjian smiled faintly.
“Then I just need to get rid of this servant disciple status within 3 years, right?”
Zhou Run shook his head, his expression serious.
“Senior Brother Tan, perhaps you don’t know…”
“In the 10 years I’ve been a servant disciple, I’ve never seen anyone from the herb garden escape this status…”
At that moment, Zhou Run’s words gradually sank in.
“Not only that… I’ve also heard that in the past 5,000 years, no disciple from the Spirit Herb Garden has ever managed to do it…”
The smile on Tan Yun’s face slowly faded.
His brows drew together slightly.
“Then do you know how one can break free from the status of a miscellaneous disciple?”
“I… I do not know,” Zhou Run replied, shaking his head.
“Mm, I understand.”
Tan Yun nodded, then continued,
“And… every time the Eternal Immortal Realm opens, how many inner disciples does our Huangfu Sacred Sect get to send in?”
Zhou Run pondered for a moment before answering,
“Senior Brother Tan, the number isn’t fixed.”
“It depends on whether the inner disciples of our Huangfu Sacred Sect can defeat the other sects in the competitions of ‘alchemy, artifact forging, talisman inscription, and formation arrays.’”
“What do you mean?” Tan Yun asked, puzzled.
Zhou Run explained,
“6 months before the Eternal Immortal Realm opens…”
“The top genius disciples of the inner sect in those 4 major disciplines must go to the Eternal Immortal Sect…”
“To compete against the geniuses of the other 2 ancient sects in the same fields.”
“The results of these competitions determine how many slots each sect receives to enter the Eternal Immortal Realm.”
“To put it simply, it’s actually a contest between our Huangfu Sacred Sect and the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace.”
“Because the Eternal Immortal Realm already belongs to the Eternal Immortal Sect.”
After hearing this, Tan Yun nodded thoughtfully.
“I understand now.”
“In other words—first, our sect must compete with the other 2 ancient sects in the 4 major disciplines to determine the number of slots.”
“Then, the disciples of the 9 major branches within our inner sect will participate in the ‘Grand Competition of the 9 Branches’ to fight for those slots internally.”
“That’s correct,” Zhou Run nodded, then sighed.
“It’s a pity… we can only watch from the outside. We don’t even have the qualification to participate…”
The other miscellaneous disciples nodded in agreement.
Even if they were given the chance—so what?
Among the 9 major branches of the inner sect, there was never a shortage of geniuses and experts.
Even if they could participate, they would have no chance of defeating those people!
But—
Within Tan Yun’s heart, his resolve grew firmer than ever!
“No matter what, I must break free from the status of a miscellaneous disciple… and seize a spot to enter the Eternal Immortal Realm!”
Having made up his mind,
Tan Yun continued asking,
“Zhou Run, where is the market of the inner sect located?”
“And in that market, are there shops that sell ‘flame seeds’ or ‘high-grade attribute spirit weapons’?”
Zhou Run answered immediately,
“Senior Brother Tan, the territory of Lingquan Immortal Mountain in the inner sect spans as wide as 600,000 li.”
“As for the market, it is located at the center of this region.”
“In that market, you can find almost anything.”
“Of course—as long as you have enough spirit stones.”
Upon hearing this,
Tan Yun was overjoyed.
Then, as if casually, he asked,
“By the way, the outer sect has the ‘4 Great Beauties.’ What about the inner sect?”
Zhou Run’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Of course there are! Not just 4—but 12 Great Beauties!”
At that moment,
the other miscellaneous disciples also became lively, chatting excitedly—
“Zhou Run, your information is outdated!”
“That’s right! Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao have been added—now there are 14 Great Beauties!”
