The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Among the Divine Soul Immortal Palace disciples participating in the alchemy, formation, weapon forging, and talisman competitions, not only was the proportion of women far greater than men, but even within the inner sect itself, women clearly outnumbered men by a significant margin. “Do you really think my Huangfu Shengzong has no backing left?!” “And another thing—do not speak recklessly!” “50,000 years ago, if my sect ancestor had wished to, he could have easily destroyed both of your ancient...
A short distance of about 100 feet to the right of the Eternal Immortal Sect’s disciples, two large groups from the Divine Soul Immortal Palace stood in formation.
One group consisted of 190 women in white robes, while the other had only 10 men.
Among the Divine Soul Immortal Palace disciples participating in the alchemy, formation, weapon forging, and talisman competitions, not only was the proportion of women far greater than men, but even within the inner sect itself, women clearly outnumbered men by a significant margin.
Moreover, the Divine Soul Immortal Palace had become one of the three ancient overlord forces of the Heaven Tribulation Mountain Range, standing at the peak of power in the current era, renowned for its dual cultivation techniques.
At this moment, the disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Soul Immortal Palace stood facing each other outside the Eternal Immortal Hall.
Inside the hall, the high-ranking officials of both sides were engaged in lively discussion.
In the main hall, Ru Yan Wuji sat upon the sect master’s throne. To his lower left were the four inner elders of the Eternal Immortal Sect’s main branches—Alchemy Weapons, Pill Refinement, Formation Arrays, and Talismans.
On the right side of the hall sat 5 elegant women, calmly and properly seated. The leader among them was Zhuge Yu, the palace master of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace.
Ru Yan Wuji waved his right sleeve, and the doors of the hall slowly closed. A faint smile appeared on his face as he spoke with a meaningful tone.
“Palace Master Zhuge, the proposal I mentioned 7 days ago is not only my personal idea, but also the consensus of all elders within the sect. What is your opinion?”
Zhuge Yu pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
“I agree. After all… the ancestor of the Huangfu Shengzong has been dead for 50,000 years. The current sect is nothing more than a starving camel left with its last breath.”
“What qualifications does it still have… to covet your sect’s ‘Eternal Immortal Realm’ and my palace’s ‘Divine Battlefield’?”
“Indeed!” Ru Yan Wuji let out a cold laugh. “By the looks of it, Sect Master Tang Taixu should also be arriving soon. We can speak openly then and settle everything today.”
Then he added:
“They’re here.”
As his voice fell, the hall doors slowly opened again. However, Ru Yan Wuji did not rise to greet them at all. He remained seated on the sect master’s throne, casually sipping wine as though nothing mattered.
—
At the same time.
At the Yawen Hall (Yawen Bar), Tang Taixu landed his flying ship on the mountain peak.
He then led 8 core disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and another 8 inner sect elite disciples into the Eternal Immortal Hall.
A total of 201 people stood in formation: Nangong Ruxue, Zhong Wushiyao, Gongsun Ruoxi, Luo Fan, Song Hong, and Huangfu Tingfeng were all neatly arranged at the front.
Meanwhile, Tan Yun and 51 disciples from the Herb Garden stood at the very rear of the formation.
When Tang Taixu led the 8 core disciples into the Eternal Immortal Hall, he immediately frowned upon noticing that… there was not even the slightest reception preparation!
There wasn’t even a single chair—let alone a banquet!
“Sect Master Ru Yan, is this how you receive guests?” Tang Taixu’s voice turned low. Although he was usually composed, he could no longer suppress his emotions this time.
Because in the past, every visit here had always been met with grand banquets welcoming both him and the elders of the Huangfu Shengzong.
But this time… there was nothing at all.
Ru Yan Wuji chuckled lightly.
“I have already arranged a VIP residence for all of you. In a moment, I will have matters to announce. You may take your disciples there to rest.”
“As for the banquet… is there really any need to care about such things?”
Upon hearing those words, Tang Taixu immediately understood that the other party was deliberately looking down on him.
There was nothing more he could say. If he continued, he would only end up losing even more face.
“No banquet is fine as well,” Tang Taixu suppressed his anger and said coldly. “I was actually worried I might eat too much and die from overeating, or drink too much and choke to death instead.”
When Zhuge Yu heard this, she let out a cold snort and glanced sideways at Ru Yan Wuji.
Ru Yan Wuji immediately understood. Still casually playing with the wine cup in his hand, he swept his gaze over Tang Taixu and deliberately raised his voice so that all the disciples from the three factions outside the hall could hear clearly.
“Sect Master Tang, 50,000 years ago, your sect’s ancestor relied on overwhelming power to force my Eternal Immortal Sect to accept the conditions regarding the allocation rules for inner sect quotas among the three ancient sects entering the ‘Eternal Immortal Realm’. These quotas were determined through competitions in alchemy, weapon forging, formation arrays, and talisman arts…”
“Yet you refused to allow my sect and the Divine Soul Immortal Palace to share your sect’s ‘Fallen God Valley’.”
“At that time, under the pressure of your sect ancestor’s authority, both my sect and the Divine Soul Immortal Palace had no choice but to accept those terms.”
“But now… things have changed.”
“If we are to call the current Huangfu Shengzong an ‘ancient sect,’ that would be an overstatement. At best, it is nothing more than a first-rate cultivation sect struggling to survive.”
“Therefore, take your disciples and attendants to rest in the VIP residence first. Rest well tonight, and return tomorrow!”
—
The moment those words were spoken, the expressions of the 8 core disciples and Tang Taixu changed instantly. Fury surged within them, almost beyond control.
This was blatant humiliation—forcing them to retreat in disgrace!
—
At that moment, Tan Yun, who stood at the rear of the formation outside the hall, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
If they were forced to leave in such humiliation, how would he ever have the face to enter the “Eternal Immortal Realm” to retrieve his own weapon?
Tan Yun closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists so hard that the veins bulged, silently enduring every word echoing from inside the hall.
—
At the same time, many disciples of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect standing outside the hall turned their gazes toward the disciples of Huangfu Shengzong with undisguised contempt.
For nearly 10,000 years, in every competition among the three ancient sects—alchemy, weapon forging, formation arrays, and talisman arts—Huangfu Shengzong had always suffered crushing defeats and consistently ranked last.
Under such mocking stares and ridicule, more than 200 disciples of Huangfu Shengzong clenched their fists so tightly they wanted to rush forward and teach the others a lesson.
But they all knew… this was another sect’s territory. They had to endure.
More importantly… until now, their sect master had not said a single word.
—
Inside the Eternal Immortal Hall.
Tang Taixu’s fury erupted, and a terrifying surge of aura burst from his body, sweeping across the entire hall.
The immense pressure caused the jade chairs of all 8 elders from both the Divine Soul Immortal Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect to shatter instantly into pieces.
The 8 elders fell to the ground, their faces pale as death, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
“Ru Yan Wuji! Zhuge Yu! Do not push things too far!”
Tang Taixu shouted, his voice shaking the hall. “Do you really think my Huangfu Shengzong has no backing left?!”
“And another thing—do not speak recklessly!”
“50,000 years ago, if my sect ancestor had wished to, he could have easily destroyed both of your ancient sects and taken over the ‘Eternal Immortal Realm’ and the ‘Divine Battlefield’! But he chose not to act!”
“As for the later agreement establishing competitions in the four disciplines—alchemy, weapon forging, formation arrays, and talisman arts—to allocate entry quotas into the Eternal Immortal Realm…”
“Ru Yan Wuji! Dare you place your hand on your heart and say that this was not suggested by your own ancestor?!”
“Now you secretly join forces with Zhuge Yu to slander my sect’s ancestor!”
Tang Taixu let out a cold laugh and pointed directly at both of them.
“Fine! I will return and report this matter to the ‘Great Elder Sage’ and the ‘Supreme Sage Who Withdraws From Worldly Affairs’ of my sect. Let’s see if you will still dare to act so arrogantly then!”
After speaking, he turned to the 8 core disciples.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes, Sect Master!” all 8 replied in unison.
—
“Wait!”
Ru Yan Wuji suddenly stood up, forcing a strained smile onto his face.
“Since Sect Master Tang has said so, I will not stop you.”
“You may go and report to your sect elders. However, let me say this clearly here—no matter how many people you bring back, my Eternal Immortal Sect will not be afraid!”
—
At that moment, Zhuge Yu also slowly stood up and declared in a clear voice that echoed throughout the hall:
“Tang Taixu! My Divine Soul Immortal Palace is the eternal ally of the Eternal Immortal Sect!”
“If you dare to act against the Eternal Immortal Sect, then I… as palace master, will not hesitate in the slightest to join forces with them.”
“To completely… annihilate your Huangfu Shengzong!”
