The Supreme Being Against Heaven

The miscellaneous disciples rushed forward, surrounding Tan Yun.

Anxious voices rang out one after another—

“Senior Brother Tan, wake up… please wake up!”

“Senior Brother Tan, how are you? If you can hear us, say something! We’re worried sick!”

“…”

Shen Qingfeng, who was still in shock from witnessing Tan Yun kill Li Zian,

finally came back to his senses.

He quickly pushed through the crowd,

knelt beside Tan Yun,

and with a flick of his hand—

stuffed 2 pills into Tan Yun’s mouth!

Next,

a red flash came from his storage ring,

and a silver-red medicinal bottle appeared in his hand.

He opened it quickly,

pouring the powder onto the wound where the spear had pierced through Tan Yun’s chest!

Shen Qingfeng lifted Tan Yun’s body and said urgently:

“Quick! Bring me Tan Yun’s severed hand!”

Zhou Run hurriedly picked up the severed hand,

ran over, and handed it to him,

carefully placing it back onto Tan Yun’s body.

At that moment,

Tan Yun slowly opened his eyes with difficulty.

His lips trembled,

blood still flowing from his mouth.

He spoke weakly:

“Steward Shen… don’t worry… I’ll be fine…”

“Just put me down… I can heal myself…”

“Don’t talk!”

Shen Qingfeng glared at him,

pretending to be angry.

“You’re this badly injured and still talking?”

“Do you think I want to save you? If it weren’t for my second brother, I wouldn’t even bother!”

Tan Yun did not want others to discover his astonishing recovery ability.

He was about to speak,

but Shen Qingfeng cut him off first:

“You’re seriously injured. Talk less.”

“I’ll go find someone to treat you.”

After saying that,

Shen Qingfeng turned to all the miscellaneous disciples and said sternly:

“Li Zian barged into Ling Shan Herbal Garden at night and caused trouble.”

“His death is well deserved!”

“I’ll take his corpse and throw it behind the mountain for the spirit beasts to devour!”

“Yes, Steward Shen!”

All the disciples responded in unison.

As Shen Qingfeng carried Tan Yun and prepared to leave on his flying sword,

Tan Yun spoke weakly:

“Steward… wait…”

“The Blood Soul-Devouring Furnace, the Spirit Furnace, Li Zian’s spear and flying sword…”

“They’re all high-grade spirit weapons, quite valuable…”

“Please collect them for me… along with his storage ring…”

“Alright.”

Shen Qingfeng smiled faintly,

and waved his hand lightly.

Instantly—

the Blood Soul-Devouring Furnace,
the Spirit Furnace,
the spirit spear,
and the storage ring

rose into the air

and were all absorbed into his storage ring!

Then,

he stepped onto his flying sword

and carried Tan Yun away from Changling Mountain…

After Shen Qingfeng left,

the miscellaneous disciples were overwhelmed with excitement!

“Who says we miscellaneous disciples are just trash!”

“From now on, anyone who dares look down on us is the real trash!”

“Senior Brother Tan is only at Level 7 of the Nascent Soul Realm, yet he still killed Li Zian!”

“Exactly!”

“Li Zian was a disciple of the 12th Elder and ranked within the top 30 in strength!”

“But he still couldn’t defeat Senior Brother Tan!”

“I think… Senior Brother Tan’s strength is at least within the top 300 of the alchemy line!”

“…”

Tonight—

was destined to be a sleepless night!

The miscellaneous disciples

felt immense pride and honor

that Tan Yun had come to Ling Shan Herbal Garden!

In their hearts,

“Tan Yun”

had already become a symbol of Ling Shan Herbal Garden!

The battle tonight—

between Tan Yun and Li Zian—

would surely shake the entire alchemy faction!

However,

amid the excitement,

they still felt a trace of deep concern.

Li Zian’s death

would undoubtedly enrage the 12th Elder to the extreme!

Even if nothing was said openly,

in secret—

he would likely take action against Senior Brother Tan!

Because the 12th Elder

was known for being…

“extremely biased toward his own people!”

1 hour later,

Shen Qingfeng carried Tan Yun,

riding his flying sword through the stars and moonlight,

heading straight toward a towering peak 90,000 feet high—

Dan Dao Immortal Mountain.

Dan Dao Immortal Mountain

was the personal immortal mountain of Shen Wende,

one of the 6 elders of the alchemy faction.

Shen Wende was originally named Ding Wende.

After serving the Shen family,

he was incorporated into the clan and changed his surname to “Shen.”

“Brother Shen, are you here?”

Shen Qingfeng carried Tan Yun

and strode into the vast cave.

On a stone platform…

An old man, over 80 years old, was sitting cross-legged.

When he saw Shen Qingfeng,

his brows furrowed tightly before he quickly stood up.

“Brother Shen, what happened?”

“Who is this young man?”

“Ah… who else could it be?”

Shen Qingfeng sighed.

“It’s the boy my second brother is protecting with his life—Tan Yun.”

Then he said urgently:

“Brother Shen, we’ll talk later!”

“Hurry and reattach this child’s severed hand first!”

Shen Qingfeng placed Tan Yun onto the stone platform.

Tan Yun kept his eyes tightly shut.

Even though his consciousness was fading,

he could still clearly hear their conversation.

Shen Wende didn’t waste words

and immediately began examining his injuries.

However—

after only a short while,

his aged body trembled!

His cloudy eyes revealed extreme shock!

“Brother Shen, what’s wrong?”

Shen Qingfeng asked in confusion.

Shen Wende did not answer directly,

only saying:

“Brother Shen… take a look at his internal organs yourself.”

Shen Qingfeng extended his spiritual sense into Tan Yun’s chest,

enveloping his internal organs—

and then exclaimed in disbelief!

“Heavens! Am I seeing things?!”

“This child’s internal organs… are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!”

“Even though I gave him healing pills… they couldn’t possibly have such an effect!”

“Incredible! A trash soul… yet his recovery speed is 10 times faster than ordinary geniuses!”

After those words,

Tan Yun slowly opened his eyes weakly.

“Steward Shen… Elder 6…”

“I have one request… I hope both of you can agree…”

“Speak.”

They replied at the same time.

Tan Yun said seriously:

“The reason my recovery is faster than normal…”

“is because I once obtained an incomplete body-tempering technique from my family.”

“I don’t want to bring disaster upon myself…”

“So I ask the two elders to keep this a secret.”

Shen Wende nodded.

“That’s only natural.”

“Every disciple has their own secrets.”

“As an elder, I have no intention of prying.”

“Nor would I ever reveal it.”

Shen Qingfeng also nodded in agreement.

“I’ve only recently entered the inner sect…”

“To meet both elders is already a great honor.”

Tan Yun said gratefully.

“That’s enough, no need to thank us.”

Shen Wende sighed.

“If you are truly grateful—then do not disappoint the Sect Master.”

“Recently, the entire inner sect knows…”

“that the young lady accepted a ‘trash soul’ like you.”

“Elders and disciples from the other 8 branches are all mocking her.”

“Tan Yun…”

“You must prove yourself!”

“Not just for yourself…”

“But for Qingqiu… and for the young lady as well!”

“I will remember Elder 6’s teachings.”

Tan Yun said firmly.

“Good.”

Shen Wende said.

“I’ll reattach your hand.”

He took out bone-healing medicine,

applied it to the broken bone,

then carefully reconnected the severed hand to Tan Yun’s right wrist.

After that,

he applied various medicines to the hand

and wrapped it tightly with cloth.

Next,

he treated the 3 broken ribs and the wounds across his body,

then instructed:

“Given your condition…”

“you must rest and recover for at least several months.”

“You have many enemies in the inner sect.”

“For now, stay with Steward Shen to heal.”

“In the future, do not leave the alchemy branch under any circumstances.”

“Otherwise… you may be surrounded and killed!”

Tan Yun nodded slightly,

but his expression did not change.

Not allowed to go out?

Heh… I will definitely go out!

After the life-and-death battle with Li Zian,

Tan Yun clearly realized his weaknesses.

First—

if he wanted to break through to Level 8 of the Nascent Soul Realm,

it would take at least 8 months.

Too long!

If he wanted to quickly increase his survival strength,

there was only one way—

he had to leave the alchemy branch!

Go to the inner sect market,

sell all the Spirit Spring in his storage ring,

and then—

buy “Ice and Fire elemental seeds,”

as well as

high-grade spirit weapons such as a top-tier flying sword!

To enhance his ability to fight across levels!
