The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
After the initial shock passed, Tantai Zhongde raised his white brows slightly and said thoughtfully: “Although I am an appraiser, I am not a Sacred-level alchemist, so I cannot determine the authenticity of this formula. Why don’t you accompany me to the ‘Sacred Gate’ and have an elder from the Alchemy Line verify it?” Tan Yun raised his brow slightly.

After the initial shock passed, Tantai Zhongde raised his white brows slightly and said thoughtfully:
“Although I am an appraiser, I am not a Sacred-level alchemist, so I cannot determine the authenticity of this formula. Why don’t you accompany me to the ‘Sacred Gate’ and have an elder from the Alchemy Line verify it?”
Tan Yun raised his brow slightly.
“Sacred Gate? I have other matters to attend to, so it’s inconvenient for me to go. How about this—you take the formula for verification yourself. I will not go.”
Tantai Zhongde smiled faintly.
“Very well. However, matters like this may involve discrepancies. May I know your name, so I can find you in the future? Also, once I gather the 11 materials for forging sacred weapons, I’ll know how to contact you.”
Tan Yun thought for a moment before replying:
“It is inconvenient for me to reveal my name. Let’s do this—if you need to find me in the future, go to Bingqing Immortal Mountain and tell Shen Suping to raise a flag atop Changling Immortal Mountain. Once I see the flag, I will come to Huangfu Shengxing myself.”
“Oh… I almost forgot to mention—Shen Suping is my disciple.”
A flash of shock and doubt crossed Tantai Zhongde’s eyes.
“Chief Bingqing… has become your disciple?”
“Yes. I saw that the child had decent talent today, so I accepted her,” Tan Yun replied calmly. Naturally, he did not wish to reveal his identity, so he used Shen Suping’s name to make Tantai Zhongde believe him.
“Elder De, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone to verify it at Bingqing Immortal Mountain immediately.”
Tantai Zhongde chuckled softly.
“No need. I believe you. Besides, we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. There is no need to verify such a trivial matter.”
Tan Yun nodded.
“Good. Then I have one more request—I hope you can agree.”
“Please, go ahead.”
“When you take the formula for verification, please do not reveal its origin. Just say that it was discovered by Huangfu Shengxing itself. Is that acceptable?”
Tantai Zhongde said confidently:
“Rest assured. Protecting clients’ confidentiality is the foundation of Huangfu Shengxing. I will not reveal to anyone outside that you provided this formula. Even if it must be disclosed, it will only be to the high-level authorities within Huangfu Shengxing.”
Tan Yun smiled in satisfaction.
“Then I am at ease. I will take the Extraterrestrial Violet Meteorite Iron now. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
With that, he stored the meteorite iron into his spatial ring, stood up, cupped his fists in farewell, and turned to leave.
“Please, allow this old man to see you off.”
Tantai Zhongde stood up, personally opened the door, and gestured politely.
This scene shocked the 8 chiefs and the hundreds of thousands of disciples watching VIP Room No. 3!
This was the first time they had seen Tantai Zhongde show such respect—personally opening the door to send a guest off!
“Elder De, please don’t trouble yourself.”
Tan Yun’s calm voice rang out. His intention was to make those with ill intent believe he had a powerful background.
“No trouble at all. I’m just passing by—I’ll escort you a bit.”
Tantai Zhongde deliberately spoke loudly.
“This way, no one will dare offend you.”
“Then many thanks.”
Tan Yun walked out of the pavilion steadily. As he passed VIP Rooms No. 2 and No. 1, he didn’t even need to look to know how dark the expressions of the Sacred Soul Daoist and the Five Souls Daoist must be!
And indeed—
Not only those two, but even Murong Daozhi in Room No. 4 and the other 5 chiefs all wore gloomy expressions!
Everyone was wondering—who exactly was Tan Yun? And what had he used as payment to cause such a drastic change in Tantai Zhongde’s attitude?
Tantai Zhongde led Tan Yun to a corner on the 6th floor and stopped, pointing at a tightly closed door.
“This is a teleportation formation for honored guests. Inside are 9 one-way formations, each leading directly to the city gates, corresponding to the 9 major lines.”
“Once you enter, you can instantly teleport thousands of li away.”
He paused before continuing:
“Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Refinement Realm can only extend their spiritual sense to a radius of 3,000 li within Huangfu Fang City—they will not be able to detect your presence.”
Tan Yun smiled faintly upon hearing this.
“Very good. Then farewell.”
With that, he pushed open the door—instantly, waves of spatial energy rippled from within!
In the blink of an eye, the scene before him changed—he appeared in the southern mountain range outside Huangfu Fang City, thousands of li away!
This place—was the only route back to the Beast Soul Line’s sect gate!
The reason Tan Yun chose this location—was to ambush and kill Fan Jian and Lin Xinyi!
“Buzz—!”
Space trembled like rippling water as a low-grade spirit boat appeared in midair.
Tan Yun removed his aura-concealing cloak, leaped onto the boat, and drove it swiftly back toward Huangfu Fang City!
He knew—the 8 chiefs would surely pursue him through the teleportation formations, so he had to move as quickly as possible!
Moreover—
He needed to hurry and lie in wait outside the city… for his “prey” to appear!
…
About half a shichen later,
The spirit boat floated amid the sea of clouds, only 100 li away from the city gate.
Tan Yun stored the boat into his Cosmos Ring, then activated the Hongmeng Divine Step.
His figure flashed like a meteor—within just 10 steps, he crossed a distance of over 2,000 zhang, appearing atop a towering peak!
He held his breath, concealing himself within lush green grass. His gaze pierced through the thin mist and drifting clouds, locking firmly onto the city gate!
Time slowly passed…
Until night fell—yet Tan Yun still saw no sign of Fan Jian and Lin Xinyi.
“The guest teleportation array can only be used by those on the 6th and 7th floors… those two were only in the 1st floor hall, so they definitely couldn’t use it.”
“It’s already been 4 hours since the auction ended. Even if they attended another auction that lasted 3 hours, they should’ve left the city by now…”
“Or could they have stopped by other places?”
With suspicion in mind, Tan Yun remained motionless like a beast lying in wait—silently watching…
…
Another 3 hours passed.
Under the full moon and the star-filled sky—
Suddenly, Tan Yun’s pupils shrank!
“They’re here!”
“Whoosh—!”
A spirit boat shot out from beyond the city gates, heading straight toward Tan Yun’s position!
On the boat—
Lin Xinyi revealed a seductive gaze and spoke sweetly,
“Brother Fan, under this full moon, the air is so refreshing. Why don’t we use the sky as our blanket and the boat as our bed, and have some fun?”
“You little slut, you really can’t hold yourself back.”
Fan Jian grinned wickedly. He suddenly pushed Lin Xinyi down onto the boat and tore apart her long dress.
“Whoosh—smack!”
Desire surged within him as he lashed a whip at her half-torn clothes!
“Harder…”
Her whisper, filled with madness, drifted through the air as the spirit boat had already flown over Tan Yun’s head by more than 1,000 zhang!
“Hongmeng Divine Step!”
A shadow shot up from the mountain peak!
In just 10 steps, he caught up with the spirit boat!
The figure appeared at the edge of the boat, radiating icy killing intent, and spoke with a mocking smile:
“Your tastes are truly… quite unique.”
“Who is it!?”
Fan Jian and Lin Xinyi were startled and turned to look at the same time—
Then both cried out in disbelief!
“You’re still not dead!?”
