The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Tan Yun nodded slightly and said firmly: “Suping, I cannot decide matters of clearing your father’s name for you, as I am in secluded cultivation.” “But—when it comes to revenge, I will help you.” “You must remember… as long as you become strong enough, one day you will be able to kill all your enemies.” “There is only one condition—you must become strong!” Shen Suping nodded firmly. That was when I realized—it was Jiang Xia, your subordinate.” “And in the end… the 3rd talisman killed him!” “Ori...
Tan Yun remained expressionless and said calmly,
“I have lived in seclusion for many years and have never heard of this person.”
“Master…”
Shen Suping looked at Tan Yun with deep, searching eyes.
“You are someone I can trust… aren’t you?”
“Of course.”
Tan Yun replied firmly.
Shen Suping hesitated for a moment before speaking:
“Master… Shen Tianzhi… is my father.”
“My father was once the Great Elder of the Alchemy Line of the Sacred Sect, and his alchemy skills… were unmatched within the entire line.”
“But…”
Her voice trembled.
“He was framed by Gongsun Yangchun—the former 2nd Elder of the Alchemy Line!”
“His cultivation was destroyed by the current Sect Master, and he was unjustly expelled from the Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
“And Gongsun Yangchun… took his place and became the current Head of the Alchemy Line!”
Hearing this—
Tan Yun immediately showed anger.
“How could such a thing happen! This is outrageous!”
He looked at Shen Suping and asked in a deep voice:
“My disciple… is this the grievance you spoke of when you asked to become my disciple?”
“Yes, Master…”
Shen Suping answered truthfully.
Tan Yun nodded slightly and said firmly:
“Suping, I cannot decide matters of clearing your father’s name for you, as I am in secluded cultivation.”
“But—when it comes to revenge, I will help you.”
“You must remember… as long as you become strong enough, one day you will be able to kill all your enemies.”
“There is only one condition—you must become strong!”
Shen Suping nodded firmly.
“I will remember your teachings, Master!”
“Good.”
Tan Yun continued,
“I will first refine the Soul-Restoring Pill for you, then I will pass on cultivation techniques to you.”
“If you cultivate diligently, you will surely grow stronger one day.”
“Thank you, Master!”
Shen Suping’s body trembled slightly with excitement.
“Alright, prepare the pill furnace and spirit herbs.”
Tan Yun instructed.
“Yes, Master.”
The spatial ring on Shen Suping’s jade-like finger flashed.
Instantly—
A pure white pill furnace, 10 feet tall, appeared before Tan Yun.
“Master, please wait a moment. I will go to Changling Immortal Mountain to retrieve the necessary spirit herbs for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill according to the formula you gave me.”
After speaking—
Shen Suping dashed out of Bingqing Palace, like a girl filled with joy.
…
Meanwhile—
At Ludao Immortal Mountain—
“12th Elder, something terrible has happened!”
A middle-aged steward, Feng Si, rushed anxiously into the cave.
“Steward Feng, what has happened to make you so flustered?”
Lu Wu, who had been sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, frowned and opened his eyes.
“Elder, I just checked the Life Soul Hall, and discovered that… that Chief Steward Jiang’s life lamp… has gone out!”
Feng Si’s face was filled with fear.
“What?!”
Lu Wu’s expression changed instantly!
In a flash—
His figure vanished from the stone bed and reappeared in front of Feng Si, grabbing his collar tightly and shouting:
“Are you certain?!”
“E-Elder, please calm your anger… please calm your anger…”
Feng Si trembled uncontrollably.
“How would I dare deceive you… Chief Steward Jiang… is truly dead!”
“Damn it! I’m so furious I could go mad!”
Lu Wu’s entire body trembled, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
After releasing him—
He roared:
“Get out!”
“I’m leaving… I’m leaving…”
Feng Si fled the mountain peak in extreme fear.
His heart was filled with dread.
Among the 12th Elder’s subordinates, there are only 3 chief stewards—Duan Zhen, Jiang Xia, and me… now 2 are dead… will I be next…?
Fear consumed him as he immediately fled on his flying sword.
But just as he left Ludao Mountain—
A streak of light shot down from the sky!
It crashed onto the mountain peak—
Then transformed into an old man with white hair…
That person was none other than—
Peng Siyuan!
“Hu—!”
Inside the cave, Lu Wu was still burning with rage. When he heard footsteps approaching from outside, he roared without even turning around:
“I told you to get lost! Didn’t you hear me?!”
“Brother Lu, it’s me.”
A light chuckle sounded from the side.
Lu Wu turned around. When he saw the visitor, he took a deep breath and spoke apologetically:
“So it’s the 3rd Elder. Forgive my rudeness.”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
Peng Siyuan cupped his fists and stepped into the cave.
With a single wave of his right sleeve—a soundproof barrier was instantly erected.
The very first sentence he spoke—
Made Lu Wu’s expression change!
“Brother Lu… the one who killed Jiang Xia is Tan Yun.”
Peng Siyuan said with certainty.
“Tan Yun?”
Lu Wu’s eyes flickered.
“How do you know? And besides, that bastard is only at the 7th level of the Embryonic Soul Realm—how could he possibly kill Jiang Xia, who was at the 5th level of the Soul Refinement Realm?!”
A vicious glint flashed in Peng Siyuan’s eyes.
“To tell the truth, today Tan Yun has already broken through to the 8th level.”
“He crippled my disciple Sun Anbei’s legs and even dared to call my name publicly in the arena—an unforgivable humiliation!”
“At that time, I sensed someone secretly observing me from the sea of clouds.”
“So I pretended to leave, waited for him to exit the arena, and then made my move… while also trying to see who exactly was spying on me.”
“Later, I followed from a distance within the clouds… and discovered that person launching a sneak attack on Tan Yun!”
“If I’m not mistaken—Tan Yun used 3 mid-grade lightning talismans.”
“The 2nd talisman forced the invisible attacker to reveal himself from the clouds. That was when I realized—it was Jiang Xia, your subordinate.”
“And in the end… the 3rd talisman killed him!”
“Originally, I intended to deal with Tan Yun myself… but I was wary that he might still have more powerful talismans, so I held back.”
“I’ve already sent my disciple back to the mountain, so I came to you to discuss how to eliminate him.”
“Of course, Brother Lu, you can rest assured—I will not reveal that you sent Jiang Xia to kill him… because I, too, want that bastard dead!”
Hearing this—
Lu Wu fell into deep thought, his expression dark and troubled.
After a long while—
He frowned tightly.
“I’m worried… Tan Yun might have already told Shen Qingfeng or Shen Suping that I sent Jiang Xia to kill him…”
“What are you afraid of, Brother Lu?”
Peng Siyuan sneered.
“Your father is the 4th Elder of the Alchemy Line of the Immortal Sect. Even if Shen Suping had 100 times the courage, she wouldn’t dare touch you!”
“Moreover—your father’s master is the Head of the Alchemy Line of the Sacred Sect, overseeing the outer sect, the Immortal Sect, and the entire alchemy lineage!”
“Shen Suping is no fool. With such a background, she would never dare act against you!”
After hearing this—
Lu Wu’s brows gradually relaxed, and he burst into laughter.
“Looks like I’ve been overthinking it!”
“That’s right! I am Lu Wu! Why would I fear that Shen Suping!”
“Exactly, exactly!”
Peng Siyuan quickly flattered him.
“Brother Lu, what do you think? Let me handle Tan Yun. Once it’s done, I only ask that you put in a good word for my son, Peng Tong, in front of your father.”
“Of course!”
Lu Wu agreed immediately, laughing loudly.
“As long as you kill Tan Yun, I’ll have my father take Peng Tong as a direct disciple!”
“Brother Peng, let’s drink!”
…
After 1 hour—
Shen Suping descended from the sky on her flying sword and landed in front of Bingqing Palace.
She put away her sword, stepped quietly into the hall, and smiled softly:
“Master… your disciple has brought all 18 types of spirit herbs needed to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill, and I’ve prepared 3 sets of each as backup.”
Shen Suping walked toward Tan Yun.
The spatial ring on her jade-like finger flashed repeatedly.
In an instant—
18 containers of spirit herbs appeared out of thin air before Tan Yun!
