The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
According to the advancement system of the Alchemy lineage— if any disciple could step into the “Mid-Level Alchemy Grandmaster” realm, they would already be qualified to serve as a “Supervisor” or even an “Elder.” And once they possessed such qualifications— as long as they passed the assessment of the “Alchemy Lineage Chief of the Immortal Sect,” they could immediately be promoted to “Supervisor”—which, in effect, meant becoming an “Elder”! Now— Luo Fan, Song Hong, and Sun Anpei had all advance...
All the disciples clearly understood—
what the term “Low-Level Alchemy Grandmaster” truly meant!
According to the advancement system of the Alchemy lineage—
if any disciple could step into the “Mid-Level Alchemy Grandmaster” realm,
they would already be qualified to serve as a “Supervisor” or even an “Elder.”
And once they possessed such qualifications—
as long as they passed the assessment of the “Alchemy Lineage Chief of the Immortal Sect,”
they could immediately be promoted to “Supervisor”—which, in effect, meant becoming an “Elder”!
Now—
Luo Fan, Song Hong, and Sun Anpei
had all advanced from “Saint-Tier Alchemy Master” to “Low-Level Alchemy Grandmaster.”
This meant—
they were only “1 step” away from earning the right to be promoted!
As inner-sect alchemy disciples—
seeing the 3 of them with the potential to become Supervisors, or even Elders, in the near future—
how could they not be shocked!?
Of course—
the reason the 3 of them were able to break through to this level
was because, during this period, they had successfully refined “low-grade precious pills”!
Just like Shen Subing—
she was able to advance from “Saint-Tier Alchemy Grandmaster” to “Low-Level Alchemy Grandmaster”
because she successfully refined a “low-level divine pill”—
the “Youth-Preserving Divine Pill”!
At this moment—
the 2nd Elder Du Chen,
the 3rd Elder Peng Shiyuan,
and the 6th Elder Shen Wende—
had truly become the center of attention!
This—
naturally stirred jealousy, envy, and resentment
within the hearts of the 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Elders.
But even so—
they still forced smiles and offered their congratulations!
Du Chen, Peng Shiyuan, and Shen Wende
were all beaming with joy, almost forgetting everything else!
As the saying goes—
“A mother rises in honor because of her child; a master rises in greatness because of their disciple.”
Within the strict promotion system of the Alchemy lineage—
if one could train a disciple to become a “Low-Level Alchemy Grandmaster,”
it would be considered a great “meritorious achievement” for that master!
And they would gain recognition from the Alchemy Elders of both the “Immortal Sect”
and the “Sacred Sect”!
Moreover—
if, in the future, their disciple could surpass them and become an “Alchemy Grandmaster”—
their reputation and status
would inevitably soar along with it!
However—
what the 3 Elders were looking forward to the most—
was the “3 Ancient Sects Alchemy Competition” held at the “Eternal Immortal Sect”!
This competition—
was of utmost importance for the alchemy disciples of the “Huangfu Sacred Sect”
in competing for quotas to enter the “Eternal Realm”!
When that time came—
not only would the “Alchemy Chiefs” of both the Immortal Sect and the Sacred Sect place great importance on it—
even the current “Sect Master” would personally pay close attention!
And of course—
their 3 top disciples
would surely stand out above all competitors in that competition!
Bringing glory and honor to the “Huangfu Sacred Sect” without a doubt!
And if their disciples were to gain the favor of the Alchemy Chiefs—
how could the masters themselves not be rewarded?
From all of this—
it was clear just how significant it was
to have a disciple who was a “Low-Level Alchemy Grandmaster”!
Naturally—
as the “Inner Sect Alchemy Chief,”
Shen Subing… would share in the credit of every Elder!
Thus—
Shen Subing, Du Chen, Peng Shiyuan, and Shen Wende
all smiled with joy.
Meanwhile, the other Elders—
were filled with jealousy, envy, and dissatisfaction!
However—
Peng Shiyuan’s smile… was clearly forced.
Previously—
he had endured Tan Yun crippling Peng He.
But this time—
Tan Yun had actually destroyed the leg of his “grandnephew”!
How could he still laugh!?
Peng Shiyuan’s gaze—
locked onto Tan Yun, who had already climbed to the “40th floor”—
his eyes deep, filled with unfathomable thoughts…
As the night deepened—
the bright moon hung high in the sky.
“Huff… huff…”
Heavy breathing echoed continuously from within the “Mustard Seed Temporal Bone Tower.”
At this moment—
over 58,000 disciples rode on flying swords, surrounding the tower—
hovering more than 1,000 zhang above the ground!
Every single gaze—
was fixed intently on the disciples climbing the tower!
Suddenly—
cheers erupted!
“Senior Brother Luo is amazing!”
“Keep going, Senior Brother Luo! You’ll definitely be the 1st to reach the 99th floor!”
“Senior Brother Luo, I admire you!”
“……”
Thousands of disciples under the 2nd Elder Du Chen
shouted at the top of their lungs, faces flushed and veins bulging—
as they watched Luo Fan… the 1st to struggle his way up to the “98th floor”!
“Senior Brother Song, you’ve always been our idol! Keep going—overtake Luo Fan!”
“Senior Brother Song, surpass him! The 1st place must be yours!”
“Senior Brother Song—!!”
On the other side—
thousands of disciples under the 6th Elder Shen Wende
were also shouting in support of Song Hong, who had likewise reached the “98th floor”!
“Senior Brother Sun, you’re the strongest! You’re number 1!”
“Go, Senior Brother Sun! Surpass Song Hong and Luo Fan!”
“Senior Brother Sun—!!”
Meanwhile, the disciples under the 3rd Elder, Peng Shiyuan—
were shouting themselves hoarse!
At this moment—
Luo Fan was drenched in sweat, his legs trembling slightly,
as he began stepping onto the “666-step staircase” leading to the “99th floor”!
Song Hong followed in 2nd place—
only 23 steps behind Luo Fan!
Suddenly—
Sun Anpei, who had been trailing behind, clenched his fists and roared—
“Hah!”
His steps surged forward with explosive force—
overtaking Song Hong in an instant!
He rapidly closed the distance with Luo Fan!
“Senior Brother Sun is amazing!”
“Senior Brother Sun has overtaken him! He’s passed Luo Fan!”
Amid the frenzied cheers—
Sun Anpei did not disappoint!
Before everyone’s eyes—
he… successfully surpassed Luo Fan!
And became the 1st to step onto the “stairway to the 99th floor”!
With every step he took—
the spiritual energy around him trembled violently!
Sweat dripped onto the steps, scattering into fine droplets!
“Haa…”
Unwilling sighs escaped from Luo Fan and Song Hong.
The 2 of them… had already given it their all—
yet not only could they not catch up to Sun Anpei,
the gap between them continued to widen!
“Hahaha! Excellent, Anpei!”
Peng Shiyuan laughed loudly, praising him without restraint.
“I’ve been waiting for you to be the 1st to reach the 99th floor!”
Sun Anpei’s expression was resolute, tinged with arrogance.
“Master, rest assured—my goal… is not the 99th floor.”
“It is—the 100th floor!”
The moment his words fell—
he staggered onto the “99th floor”… and came to a halt!
In that instant—
he became the sole center of attention!
Aside from Shen Qingfeng, who was still watching Tan Yun on the 40th floor—
everyone else’s gaze was fixed on Sun Anpei!
“I, Sun Anpei—will be the 1st in 30,000 years to witness this miracle!”
“Fellow disciples—the moment of miracle has arrived!”
He clenched his fists and roared—
“Boom!”
His foot slammed onto the “1st step of the 100th floor”!
“Crack! Crack!”
The gravity, which had been 99×—
instantly surged to “129×”!
His entire skeleton creaked violently—
his spine gradually bending under the pressure!
“AAARGH—!!”
His roar tore through the night!
He forced his chest upright—
bracing his body with his left leg, he lifted his right leg and stepped onto the “2nd step”!
Under the immense pressure—
capillaries bulged across his face!
In the blink of an eye—
his face, neck, and entire body
were covered in protruding veins like a web!
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
Gritting his teeth, enduring with all his might—
Sun Anpei began climbing the “666-step staircase” toward the “100th floor”!
“Huff… huff…”
At the same time—
Luo Fan and Song Hong, gasping heavily,
finally reached the “99th floor.”
As they looked up at Sun Anpei’s swaying figure—
the 2 exchanged glances… with bitter smiles.
They… had truly done their best.
But the additional 30× surge in gravity—
made it impossible for them… to step onto the “100th floor”!
At that moment—
Shen Qingfeng stood on his flying sword above Tan Yun,
who was still steadily climbing at the “40th floor.”
He spoke anxiously—
“Kid! There’s only a little time left!”
“You’re already injured—and you’ve lost both arms—”
“If you can’t go on, don’t force it! Come down!”
“And let the 6th Elder reattach your 2 arms!”
