The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Miss Shen, although I do not know who your master is… I can say with certainty that his alchemy is far superior to every elder in the Alchemy Line of the Sacred Sect!” “If you diligently study under his guidance, your future will surely be limitless!” The reason Tantai Zhongde spoke this way— was because over the past half month, he had kept the pill formula Tan Yun gave him to himself, not allowing any alchemy elders to see it. As expected of a high-tier ice-attribute treasure flame seed!” “No...
“Really? He said you are his only disciple, yet you know nothing about him?”
Tantai Zhongde said, his tone clearly filled with suspicion.
Shen Subing pressed her lips together slightly, her eyes showing a trace of grievance.
“Elder De, I’m not lying to you… my master is truly like that. He has never told me anything.”
“Haha, fine—I believe you.” Tantai Zhongde laughed, then spoke in a serious tone.
“Miss Shen, although I do not know who your master is… I can say with certainty that his alchemy is far superior to every elder in the Alchemy Line of the Sacred Sect!”
“If you diligently study under his guidance, your future will surely be limitless!”
The reason Tantai Zhongde spoke this way—
was because over the past half month, he had kept the pill formula Tan Yun gave him to himself, not allowing any alchemy elders to see it.
Instead, he presented it directly to the current Sect Master—
And the result was…
The Sect Master was utterly shocked!
She confirmed that the Longevity Elixir formula was genuine,
and even speculated that—
Shen Subing’s master was very likely
“Huangfu Shengzong,” an ancient hidden expert who had lived for tens of thousands of years!
Shen Subing nodded firmly.
“Thank you, Elder De, for your praise. I will devote myself to learning from my master.”
“Mm.” Tantai Zhongde smiled and stood up.
“I still have matters to handle for your master. I will take my leave.”
“Elder De, please wait a moment,” Shen Subing said softly.
“If in the future you meet my master at Huangfu Shengxing… I ask that you secretly send someone to inform me.”
Tantai Zhongde hesitated, looking troubled.
“This… is that appropriate? What if your master becomes angry?”
Shen Subing smiled carelessly.
“It’s fine. My master only has 1 disciple—how could he be angry with me?”
“Besides… my master has a sense of humor. He’s not a rigid, old-fashioned person.”
“Very well, I agree.” Tantai Zhongde nodded seriously.
“But let me make this clear—if he gets angry because I revealed his whereabouts, you must explain it yourself.”
“Don’t let this affect the cooperation between me and your master.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility,” Shen Subing said confidently.
In her heart, she thought—
Master even gave me such a precious divine ring—how could he possibly be angry with me?
“Haha, then I’m at ease.”
Tantai Zhongde laughed, but did not leave immediately.
His gaze fell upon the golden Qiankun ring on Shen Subing’s slender finger.
“Miss Shen, your Qiankun Ring is engraved with a 12-clawed golden dragon, exquisitely crafted. It must be extraordinary, yet I cannot determine its grade. Where did you obtain it?”
Shen Subing smiled happily, gently rotating the ring on her finger.
“My master gave it to me.”
“I see.” Tantai Zhongde smiled.
“To have such a master is truly your fortune.”
After saying this, he bid farewell.
“I’ll take my leave.”
After Tantai Zhongde left—
Shen Subing stepped out of Bingqing Palace with a radiant smile.
Shen Wende looked puzzled.
“Miss, why do you seem so happy? Earlier, you were still worried about failing to refine the Soul-Returning Elixir…”
Shen Subing narrowed her eyes slightly, a cunning glint flashing within.
“Wen De, I now know how to find my master.”
“Go to Changling Immortal Mountain immediately and raise a flag on the peak!”
2 days later
Above Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Pagoda No. 520, at the giant martial arena—
Mist drifted, clouds swirling.
Spiritual energy formed a vortex reaching 150 zhang high, surging wildly into the pagoda!
Inside—
Tan Yun sat cross-legged, cultivating the technique
“Primordial Chaos Gathering Art.”
At the same time, he controlled the
“Primordial Ice Flame”
to devour the
“Purple Sea Mystic Flame.”
At this moment—
It had been 20 days since he entered the pagoda.
19 days had passed in the outside world—
but inside the pagoda… 57 days had already gone by!
In just 3 more days, Tan Yun would exit seclusion!
And now—
The Primordial Ice Flame, which was originally only 0.5 zhang tall,
after devouring the Purple Sea Flame—
had expanded massively—
reaching a full height of 2 zhang! ?
Before Tan Yun—
The primordial flame surged like a fiery beast,
continuously suppressing and devouring the 3-inch Purple Sea Mystic Flame.
The purple flame gradually shrank at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.
If this continued—within 3 days, it would be completely devoured!
Time passed — 3 days inside the pagoda
Just 0.5 shichen before the pagoda doors opened—
At the very moment the Primordial Ice Flame completely devoured the Purple Sea Flame!
The 2-zhang flame suddenly swelled violently—
expanding to 3 zhang in an instant!
The icy blue flame radiated across its entire body—
with just a faint flicker—
the entire interior of the pagoda was instantly covered in 3 chi thick ice!
Within the ice—
Tan Yun suddenly opened his eyes!
His gaze filled with undisguised excitement.
“Hahaha! As expected of a high-tier ice-attribute treasure flame seed!”
“Now that it has been devoured by the Primordial Ice Flame—
it has advanced from the 2nd-level minor perfection stage…”
“to the major perfection stage, and has reached—
the peak of the 2nd level!”
Reaching the peak of the 2nd level meant—
the power of the Primordial Ice Flame…
was now capable of easily destroying top-grade spirit weapons!
How could Tan Yun not feel excited!?
At this moment—
Tan Yun possessed numerous trump cards!
1. Physical Body
He had cultivated the Primordial Overlord Body to the 2nd-level perfection stage.
His body was as tough as a high-grade spirit weapon,
and he could tear apart mid-grade spirit weapons with his bare hands!
2. Soul
His soul power was comparable to the peak of the Spirit Embryo Realm.
With the Primordial Divine Eyes, he was invincible against anyone below his level!
3. Primordial Flame
It had advanced to the 2nd-level perfection stage.
It could incinerate high-grade spirit weapons into ashes in an instant!
4. Primordial Ice Flame
It had reached the peak of the 2nd level.
It possessed the power to destroy top-grade spirit weapons!
5. The most important trump card!
The ever-changing Primordial God-Slaying Sword Formation!
Although he still could not fully utilize the Primordial God-Slaying Sword,
since he had yet to fuse all 11 attributes into a single sword—
Even so…
Tan Yun already stood at the pinnacle of the Alchemy Line disciples!
And had truly stepped into the ranks of top inner disciples!
However—
Even after cultivating inside the pagoda for over 2 months,
Tan Yun still had not sensed the bottleneck of the 8th level of the Spirit Embryo Realm.
“It doesn’t matter…”
“After leaving the pagoda and passing the trial—”
“I’ll ascend to the Highest-Grade Mustard Seed Pagoda and cultivate for another 3 months…”
“I will definitely break through to the 8th level!”
“Return!”
In an instant—
The 3-zhang (~10 meters) Primordial Ice Flame
shot into Tan Yun’s left palm!
The thick ice encasing his body—
vanished instantly, as if it had never existed!
0.5 shichen later
The pagoda doors slowly opened—
Tan Yun stood up, straightened his robes,
and stepped out with composure.
Today—
was the day the Highest-Grade Mustard Seed Pagoda opened,
an event that occurred once every 3 months.
And it was also the day—
when the top 200 elites of the Alchemy Line
would ascend the pagoda to cultivate!
Thus—
on this day, over 60,000 alchemy disciples
had gathered!
Because everyone wanted—
to witness it with their own eyes!
The ascent of the strongest!
For the Alchemy Line—
this pagoda ascent, held every 3 months,
was the grandest day!
A stage for the strong to display their power!
Tan Yun walked through the dense crowd
and entered the Transfer Pavilion.
He returned the access token for
Pagoda No. 520 to the administrator.
At the same time—
he obtained crucial information about the
Highest-Grade Mustard Seed Pagoda:
This pagoda—
had a total of 108 floors!
If one could pass the trials
and reach the final 8 floors—
then cultivating for 1 day = 18 days outside!
But over the span of more than 30,000 years—
the highest any Alchemy disciple had ever reached
was only Floor 99!
And even at that level—
1 day = only 10 days outside!
“108 floors… is it?”
A sharp glint flashed in Tan Yun’s eyes.
A new battle—
was about to begin! ?
