The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
She glanced at Shen Qingfeng and spoke in a firm tone: “Right now, my only option is to successfully refine the Soul-Returning Elixir.” “Qingfeng, according to the pill formula left by Master— the substitute for the Level 7 Ice Orchid of Turtle Breath is the Level 7 Dragon Vine Ice Grass.” “As for the Level 9 Nether Yin Stone Lotus, replace it with the Level 9 Profound Yin Soul Heart Fruit.” “The 3,000-year Flame Spirit Grass should be replaced with the 1,800-year Vermilion Divine Flame Ganoderm...
Shen Subing took a deep breath, forcing down the anxiety in her heart. She glanced at Shen Qingfeng and spoke in a firm tone:
“Right now, my only option is to successfully refine the Soul-Returning Elixir.”
“Qingfeng, according to the pill formula left by Master—
the substitute for the Level 7 Ice Orchid of Turtle Breath is the Level 7 Dragon Vine Ice Grass.”
“As for the Level 9 Nether Yin Stone Lotus, replace it with the Level 9 Profound Yin Soul Heart Fruit.”
“The 3,000-year Flame Spirit Grass should be replaced with the 1,800-year Vermilion Divine Flame Ganoderma.”
“And the Jade Resurrection Grass can be substituted with the Level 8 Azure Cloud Soul-Evolving Grass.”
“Qingfeng, go to Changling Immortal Mountain immediately. Bring back as many of these 4 herbs as possible. I will begin refining the elixir right away.”
Shen Qingfeng immediately bowed.
“This subordinate obeys!”
As if recalling something, Shen Subing added:
“Oh, and bring Wen De to assist me. Also, inform Lu Wu that I have concealed the matter of the Jade Resurrection Grass already being destroyed—he no longer needs to kneel.”
“This subordinate understands. I will take my leave now.”
With that, Shen Qingfeng quickly withdrew from Bingqing Palace…
2 hours later — Giant Martial Arena
News that Tan Yun had killed the only son of the Enforcement Elder yesterday had already spread throughout the Alchemy Line.
At this moment, Tan Yun stepped into the arena, as beautiful as a dream.
The alchemy disciples all cupped their fists in salute.
25 days ago, he had slain Ye Ling, shaking the entire Alchemy Line.
Now, he had killed Qiu Qilin as well—
Making everyone fully realize that…
Tan Yun was someone who acted decisively, fearing no one!
Upon arriving at the Transfer Pavilion, he saw more than 100 disciples lined up, so he joined the queue.
Clearly, everyone was waiting for someone to come out from the 1,000 Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Pagodas, so there would be vacancies to enter and cultivate by paying spirit stones.
At that moment—
A male disciple from Lu Wu’s faction looked at Tan Yun standing in the distance and sneered inwardly.
“Tan Yun, enjoy yourself while you can…”
“In another 20 days, Senior Brother Gaoyang will exit the highest-grade pagoda.”
“If he finds out you killed Ye Ling… you’re dead for sure!”
Nightfall
After waiting the entire day, Tan Yun finally paid the fee to the administrator.
The entrance fee was 5,000,000 low-grade spirit stones per day.
For 20 days, the total came to 100,000,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After receiving the access token, he headed toward
Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Pagoda No. 520…
Meanwhile
As soon as Lu Wu returned to his cave dwelling on Mount Lu Wu,
a steward named Jiang Xia hurried over and bowed.
“Elder 12, I went to Changling Immortal Mountain to look for you but could not find you, so I came here instead.”
Lu Wu frowned in displeasure.
After kneeling for so long at Changling Immortal Mountain before finally being released by Shen Subing—
his anger had yet to subside!
“What is it?” he asked coldly.
Jiang Xia quickly replied:
“Reporting to Elder 12, today the Enforcement Elder left the Alchemy Line and asked me to inform you to meet him in Huangfu Fang City. He said there is an important matter to discuss, but did not specify further.”
“Mm, I understand.”
Lu Wu nodded, then revealed a sinister smile.
“Recently… have there been any rumors of Tan Yun’s death?”
Jiang Xia hesitated slightly before answering honestly:
“Reporting to Elder 12, Tan Yun is still alive. I even saw him at the martial arena today…”
“What!? He’s still alive!?”
Lu Wu roared, his anger erupting instantly.
“What the hell is Duan Zhen doing!?”
Rage surged within him!
He was the one who ordered Duan Zhen to kill Tan Yun—
by the timeline, Tan Yun should have exited the pagoda 7 days ago…
yet he was still alive!
“Jiang Xia! Go find Duan Zhen immediately!”
Jiang Xia frowned slightly and replied cautiously:
“Reporting to Elder 12… this subordinate has not seen Steward Duan for 7 days…”
“Useless trash!” Lu Wu cursed furiously before speaking coldly:
“I am going to Fangcheng City to meet Qiu Yongming right now. If you see Duan Zhen—tell him this: if I return from Fangcheng and Tan Yun is still alive… he can prepare to die!”
In Lu Wu’s eyes, he never once considered the possibility that Duan Zhen was already dead.
To him—
for a 1st-level Soul Refining cultivator to kill someone at the 7th level of the Spirit Embryo Realm—
was simply something that should have happened!
“This subordinate obeys.” Jiang Xia bowed, then withdrew.
Lu Wu stepped out of his cave residence into the darkness of the night.
He then summoned his spirit vessel and headed toward Huangfu Fang City…
Meanwhile
Grand Elder of the Artifact Refining Line — Murong Immortal Hall
Inside the main hall—
Murong Daozhe wore a long pink dress that trailed along the ground, light as cicada wings.
The fabric clung to her body, faintly revealing her tall and alluring figure.
Just the slight rise and fall of her full chest—
was enough to show how unsettled she was inside.
Her beautiful face was filled with anger.
“Tantai Zhongde, just how arrogant can you be? You’re nothing more than a dog of the Tantai clan!”
“Yes—the Tantai clan rose to power by relying on the Sect Master’s authority… but my Murong clan is not something that can be looked down upon!”
4 days ago—
After Tan Yun left Huangfu Shengxing,
Murong Daozhe had politely asked Tantai Zhongde:
“Who was the person that caused you to lose face in VIP Room No. 3?”
But the answer she received, from beginning to end, was only one sentence—
“No comment.”
This matter enraged Murong Daozhe—who was arrogant to the extreme!
“Master, this disciple has an important matter to report.”
Suddenly, a voice as pleasant as a silver bell sounded from outside the hall—
yet within the tone, there was clear confusion and shock.
“Enter.”
“Yes, Master.”
As her voice fell, a young woman in a long blue dress walked in gracefully.
Her eyes sparkled, her teeth were neat and white, her skin fair as snow.
Her shoulders were slender, her waist so slim it seemed one could wrap it with a single hand.
Her face was naturally beautiful without adornment,
her figure graceful, exuding a pure and natural charm.
“Ruo Xi, what is it?” Murong Daozhe asked.
Gongsun Ruoxi lightly pressed her red lips together before bowing and speaking:
“Master… this disciple has found the person who purchased the 11 top-grade spirit-tier flying swords you refined previously.”
“Quick! Tell me—who is he?” Murong Daozhe’s eyes lit up.
“Is he from our Artifact Refining Line?”
“Master… he…”
Gongsun Ruoxi took a deep breath.
“He appears to be a disciple from the Alchemy Line.”
“The Alchemy Line!? How is that possible!?”
Murong Daozhe abruptly stood up from her jade chair, staring intently at Ruoxi.
“How could Shen Subing’s Alchemy Line possibly have a master-level figure!? Are you joking with me!?”
“Neither Shen Subing nor the 11 elders are artifact refiners—
so how could they possibly train a master-level artifact refiner!”
“Ruo Xi, are you certain you didn’t see wrongly?”
Gongsun Ruoxi answered honestly:
“Master, last time I searched the entire Artifact Refining Line but could not find him.
So I used a Spirit-Scent Tracking Beast to trace his aura, confirming he once appeared at Wanbao Ling Pavilion.”
“During this period, I investigated across the other 8 lines of the sect.
In the end, I confirmed that… he indeed entered the Alchemy Line.”
“However, the Artifact Refining Line and the Alchemy Line have never been on good terms.
According to the rules, this disciple cannot enter the Alchemy Line without permission…”
Hearing this—
A trace of realization flashed in Murong Daozhe’s eyes.
She then spoke with confidence:
“Ruo Xi… if I’m not mistaken, that person is not some master at all.”
“It must be Shen Subing deliberately sending him to Wanbao Ling Pavilion to complicate matters!”
“Because she has seen the 11 flying swords I refined—
she intentionally staged this act!”
“Although I don’t know what her purpose is…
I will never believe that her Alchemy Line could produce a master-level artifact refiner!”
