The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Mu Mengyi spoke calmly, “Now that you have become a disciple of the Sacred Sect, you are officially an Outer Disciple. Within the sect, disciples were divided into 5 ranks: Miscellaneous Disciples Outer Disciples Inner Disciples Immortal Disciples Sacred Disciples At present, the number of Outer Disciples alone had already reached 1,000,000 people. Until now, it had become merely 1 of the 3 ancient sects within the Heaven-Punishing Mountain Range… After memorizing the entire contents of the Disc...
Mu Mengyi looked at Tan Yun’s back as he stood at the front. Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to ask how he had managed to recover from such severe injuries in only half a month.
But in the end, she did not ask.
She knew very well that among cultivators, prying into another person’s secrets was considered the greatest taboo.
“We still have 1 month of travel before we reach the Huangfu Sacred Sect. This is the sect’s Disciple Manual. You should read it and familiarize yourself with it during the journey.”
Mu Mengyi walked over to Tan Yun with an indifferent expression and handed him a jade slip.
“Thank you, Senior Envoy.”
Tan Yun accepted the jade slip respectfully.
Mu Mengyi spoke calmly,
“Now that you have become a disciple of the Sacred Sect, you are officially an Outer Disciple. From now on, you may call me Senior Sister.”
After saying that, she walked to the other side of the crane’s back, sat down cross-legged, and closed her eyes once again.
Seeing her cold and distant attitude, Tan Yun pursed his lips slightly.
Then he released his spiritual sense into the jade slip and began examining the contents of the Disciple Manual.
The Disciple Manual was divided into 3 main sections.
Section 1: Introduction to the Heaven-Punishing Mountain Range and the long history of the Huangfu Sacred Sect.
Section 2: The rules of the sect.
Section 3: The missions of the sect.
Tan Yun continued reading until the sun set and the sky filled with stars.
From the information in the manual, he learned that the Heaven-Punishing Mountain Range was vast and boundless. The deeper one ventured into it, the more dangerous and unpredictable it became.
From ancient times until now, no one had been able to uncover the mysteries of the Heaven-Punishing Mountains.
Many powerful experts, whose strength was said to rival that of gods guarding the dark realms, had once ventured into the depths of the mountains to explore.
But out of 10 people, 9 would be killed by powerful demonic beasts.
According to the records,
before the previous Sect Master of the Huangfu Sacred Sect died, he had spent 96 years attempting to reach the end of the mountain range.
But in the end, he still failed.
Eventually, he returned to the sect severely injured and died not long afterward.
Before leaving the deep mountains, he had erected a stone monument to warn others:
No one should venture deeper beyond that point.
The Huangfu Sacred Sect was located in the central region of the Heaven-Punishing Mountain Range.
Within the sect, disciples were divided into 5 ranks:
Miscellaneous Disciples
Outer Disciples
Inner Disciples
Immortal Disciples
Sacred Disciples
At present, the number of Outer Disciples alone had already reached 1,000,000 people.
50,000 years ago, under the leadership of its founder, the Huangfu Sacred Sect had once reached its peak.
It had once been the leader of the 3 ancient sects within the Heaven-Punishing Mountains and ranked within the top 3 of the 9 ancient sects of the Heaven-Punishing Continent.
Unfortunately,
after the founder passed away,
the Huangfu Sacred Sect gradually declined with the passage of time.
Until now, it had become merely 1 of the 3 ancient sects within the Heaven-Punishing Mountain Range…
After memorizing the entire contents of the Disciple Manual,
Tan Yun raised his head and gazed at the vast and hazy night sky.
In his heart, he recalled the gods and immortals who had betrayed him.
Including the 2 supreme beings who had joined forces to kill him.
Boundless killing intent appeared in his eyes!
He also remembered his wife, who had been brutally murdered in his first life.
His heart suddenly ached with unbearable pain!
“Crack… Crack…”
He clenched his fists unconsciously.
The sound of bones cracking reached the ears of Mu Mengyi, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Mu Mengyi raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
Under the moonlight, she looked at the side of Tan Yun’s face.
She could vaguely see that within his eyes there were
anger,
sorrow,
longing,
and grief.
A single tear reflected the moonlight with a faint sparkle.
It slid down Tan Yun’s distorted face before disappearing into the wind.
He stared firmly at the sky,
as if an ancient beast were roaring within his soul.
“In this life, I will protect the people I love!”
“In this life, I will never submit to fate!”
“All the debts of hatred… I will make you repay them 1,000 times over!”
“He looks so pained…” Mu Mengyi murmured softly in confusion.
When she recalled what had happened during the selection earlier,
she still found it difficult to believe
that the young man whose entire body had been covered in wounds—
who had not even frowned when he pulled the great sword that pierced through his own chest—
was now silently shedding tears…
The sun and moon alternated across the sky, the stars shifted, and the constellations changed.
For the next 28 days, Mu Mengyi remained as cold as ice, while Tan Yun also had no intention of approaching her. Even though the two sat on the back of the same crane, they did not exchange a single word.
However, Mu Mengyi noticed something.
After that night when Tan Yun shed tears, he never again revealed any trace of sadness or grief.
Instead, he began to radiate an aura of confidence.
As the spirit crane flew deeper into the mountain range, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became increasingly dense.
Each towering mountain peak had a different shape. Surrounded by drifting clouds and mist, the scenery looked even more magnificent and breathtaking.
Tan Yun felt as if he had stepped into an immortal realm, fully enjoying the view before him.
Yet when faced with such beautiful scenery, Mu Mengyi instead gazed toward the direction of the Huangfu Sacred Sect.
She lightly bit her lower lip, her expression distant, as though she were pondering something.
In her beautiful eyes, traces of unease occasionally appeared…
As the sun set, the sky was dyed blood-red by the evening light.
“Hahaha! Junior Sister Mu, you’ve kept your Senior Brother waiting for a long time!”
Suddenly, a booming laugh echoed from within the clouds.
Tan Yun turned toward the voice and saw a spirit ship about 30 zhang long, shaped like a sailing vessel.
It burst through the sea of clouds amid swirling winds before stopping in front of the spirit crane in the blink of an eye.
He stood on the spirit boat.
A young man in white robes stood there, handsome and elegant, radiating the powerful aura of a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Embryonic Soul Realm.
The white-robed youth swept his gaze over Mu Mengyi, examining her carefully.
His eyes were filled with lust, as if they could see straight through her red dress and completely view her beautiful body.
As for Tan Yun, who was only at the 7th level of the Embryonic Soul Realm, the man did not even bother to glance at him.
“Murong Kun, what are you doing here?”
Mu Mengyi asked angrily.
However, the panic in her eyes could not be completely concealed.
“Heh heh heh…”
Murong Kun chuckled softly before stepping down gracefully from the spirit boat.
His figure landed steadily on the back of the spirit crane as he stared at Mu Mengyi with a greedy gaze.
“What do you think… my little Yiyi?”
“Murong Kun, please behave yourself!”
Mu Mengyi scolded coldly.
“If you dare to harass me again, I will ask the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect to judge this matter!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, I’m so scared!”
Murong Kun shrugged and sneered.
“Then go ahead and find the Grand Elder. Even if he had 10 lives, he wouldn’t dare interfere in my affairs!”
His tone suddenly changed.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Mu Mengyi with a sinister smile.
“Among the female disciples of the outer sect, who wouldn’t want to become my cultivation partner?”
“Don’t act like you don’t know your place.”
“If you really anger me, I have plenty of ways to take your virginity!”
“You shameless bastard!”
Mu Mengyi trembled with anger and pointed her slender finger at him.
“Get lost immediately! Otherwise, even if I must face retaliation from the power behind you, I will kill you right here!”
“Heh heh, I like that personality of yours.”
Murong Kun revealed a wicked smile.
“I like training women to become obedient. The more defiant the woman, the greater my sense of achievement!”
“Little Yiyi, just wait. You will never escape from my grasp. Hahaha!”
Murong Kun burst into loud laughter before jumping off the back of the crane, preparing to board the spirit boat and leave.
Just as Mu Mengyi felt both humiliated and furious while secretly letting out a sigh of relief—
Suddenly!
Murong Kun spun around in mid-air and flicked his sleeve.
A cloud of red mist shot out and instantly enveloped Mu Mengyi.
“Senior Sister, hold your breath!”
Tan Yun shouted a warning.
But it was already too late.
Mu Mengyi immediately collapsed weakly onto the back of the spirit crane.
“Whoosh!”
A flash of cold light suddenly shot out from the empty air.
It slashed diagonally toward Tan Yun’s neck at an astonishing speed!
The one who made the move was Murong Kun.
Holding a sword in his hand, he attacked ruthlessly, clearly intending to kill Tan Yun in a single strike!
“Primordial Divine Step!”
Tan Yun had already been on guard. He quickly retreated, his figure splitting into several shadows.
Although he managed to avoid being beheaded,
a shallow wound was still left on his neck.
A chill spread down Tan Yun’s spine.
“The power of this person… is far stronger than mine!”
He immediately realized that
he was not his opponent.
