The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
When he clearly saw the figure in the sky above the mountain peak, he turned back toward the crowd, his body trembling, voice shaking. He put away his sword and walked calmly toward Bingqing Palace before announcing loudly: “Disciple Tan Yun requests an audience with Steward Shen!” Behind him— The voices of the disciples rang out in unison: “We request an audience with the Grand Elder!” “Damn it… am I seeing things!?” Da Niu rubbed his eyes hard. When the figure in the sky above the mountain pea...
“Damn it… am I seeing things!?” Da Niu rubbed his eyes hard. When he clearly saw the figure in the sky above the mountain peak, he turned back toward the crowd, his body trembling, voice shaking.
“Brothers… do you… see that figure in the sky? You… you see it too, right?”
Everyone’s eyes widened in fear. They nodded frantically like chickens pecking at grain, swallowing hard.
“Th-This… this is like seeing a ghost in broad daylight! That… could it be Senior Brother Tan’s spirit!?”
“Y-Yes… it must be! Ahh! T-Too scary…”
Trembling whispers spread through the crowd.
Tan Yun smiled faintly without saying a word. He turned his sword and shot straight toward the crowd!
“AHH—A ghost! It’s really Senior Brother Tan!!”
The crowd panicked instantly and turned to flee!
“Stop right there, you idiots! I’m not dead—I’ve just been lying in a coffin for over 1 year!” Tan Yun shouted loudly.
The crowd froze and turned back to look at him, their eyes full of suspicion.
“Senior Brother Tan… after you died, we burned incense for you every festival!” Da Niu said with a trembling voice. “We didn’t do anything wrong to you—please don’t haunt us!”
“You fool!” Tan Yun laughed and cursed. “I’m really not dead! If you still don’t believe me, I’ll beat you up!”
“Uh…” Da Niu was stunned.
At that moment, one disciple spoke cautiously:
“Da Niu, back when Senior Brother Tan was around, you were closest to him. Your relationship was the best—go touch him and see if he’s human or a ghost.”
“Me!?” Da Niu pointed at himself. “Then why don’t you go!”
“By saying that, you’re denying your relationship with Senior Brother Tan!” another quickly added.
“Yeah! If you don’t go, it means all that talk about being closest to him was just bragging!”
“That’s right!” voices echoed in agreement.
“Damn it! Fine, I’ll go! What’s there to be afraid of!” Da Niu gritted his teeth, gathered his courage, and rode his flying sword toward Tan Yun.
Tan Yun chuckled softly. His figure flashed through the air and appeared in front of Da Niu in an instant!
“AHH—!!”
Da Niu’s hair stood on end as he screamed like a pig being slaughtered!
“Why are you screaming like that!” Tan Yun reached out and pinched his cheek hard. “Does it hurt? If it hurts, that means I’m not dead—got it!?”
“It hurts! It really hurts! Ouch—my mother!” Da Niu stopped screaming and suddenly grabbed Tan Yun tightly.
When he felt Tan Yun’s solid body—
His eyes turned red, tears welling up as he shouted in joy:
“Brothers! Senior Brother Tan is back! Waaa… he’s really not dead!”
“If you don’t believe it, come touch him yourself!”
Da Niu shouted through tears.
In an instant—
Everyone rushed forward, surrounding Tan Yun on their flying swords, taking turns touching him.
Those who touched him… all burst into tears!
Seeing the scene before him—
The crowd crying with joy—
Tan Yun felt his throat tighten slightly.
“I’m sorry… for making all of you worry before…”
“But now—I’m back!”
“Don’t cry! From now on—we laugh!”
“Laugh as much as you want!”
Tan Yun’s voice echoed across Changling Immortal Mountain!
“Alright! We’ll listen to Senior Brother Tan—we’ll laugh…”
“Great! Senior Brother Tan is back!”
“Our Senior Brother Tan isn’t dead!”
Cheers erupted—
Everyone was so excited they were nearly going mad!
Because—
Senior Brother Tan, the one who created legends… had returned!
Senior Brother Tan, the one who restored their dignity… had returned!
…
After 1.5 shichen—
Tan Yun rode his flying sword and landed on Bingqing Immortal Mountain.
He put away his sword and walked calmly toward Bingqing Palace before announcing loudly:
“Disciple Tan Yun requests an audience with Steward Shen!”
Behind him—
The voices of the disciples rang out in unison:
“We request an audience with the Grand Elder!”
“Damn it… am I seeing things!?” Da Niu rubbed his eyes hard. When the figure in the sky above the mountain peak became clear, he turned back toward the crowd, his body trembling, voice shaking.
“Brothers… do you… see that figure in the sky? You… you see it too, right?”
Everyone’s eyes widened in terror. They nodded frantically like chickens pecking at grain, swallowing with difficulty.
“Th-This… this is like seeing a ghost in broad daylight! That… could it be Senior Brother Tan’s spirit!?”
“Y-Yes… it must be! Ahh! T-Too terrifying…”
Trembling whispers spread from behind.
Tan Yun smiled faintly without a word. He turned his sword and shot straight toward the crowd!
“AHH—A ghost! It’s really Senior Brother Tan!!”
The crowd erupted in panic and turned to flee!
“Stop right there, you idiots! I’m not dead—I’ve just been lying in a coffin for over 1 year!” Tan Yun shouted.

“Da Niu, when Senior Brother Tan was alive, you were the closest to him. Your relationship was the best—go touch him and see if he’s human or a ghost.”
“Me!?” Da Niu pointed at himself. “Then why don’t you go!”
“Saying that means you’re denying your relationship with Senior Brother Tan!” another added quickly.
“Exactly! If you don’t go, then all that talk about being closest to him was just bragging!”
“That’s right!” voices echoed in agreement.
“Damn it! Fine, I’ll go! What’s there to be afraid of!” Da Niu gritted his teeth, gathered his courage, and rode his flying sword toward Tan Yun.

“It hurts! It really hurts! Ouch—my mother!” Da Niu stopped screaming, then grabbed Tan Yun tightly.
