The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Therefore, it is also called—a supreme-grade life-sustaining semi-supreme elixir!” The moment these words were spoken— Shen Suping, Tang Xinying, and Tantai Xuanzong all shot to their feet at the same time, their eyes filled with unprecedented shock! After pausing for just a single breath, he continued rapidly: “This elixir can be refined using 3 methods.” “Method 1 uses 356 herbs, ranging from grade 5 to 3000-year-old ingredients.” “Method 2 uses 388 herbs, ranging from grade 4 to 3000-year-old...
“I hereby announce—the challenge officially begins!” Ru Yan Wuji declared in a resounding voice.
The moment his words fell, almost without any visible movement, medicinal box No. 188 in the 12th row opened on its own. A dark purple elixir shot out and landed in the palm of Tan Yun.
Tan Yun was completely focused. With just a brief glance, he immediately raised the elixir and sniffed it.
In the blink of an eye—his voice rang out, rapid and steady:
“Supreme-grade semi-supreme elixir—Soul Consolidation and Spirit Nourishing Pill.”
“It is suitable for cultivators whose 3 souls and 7 spirits are on the verge of collapse. Its medicinal effect is limited and cannot fully heal them.”
“Taking 1 pill can only extend life by 100 days. Therefore, it is also called—a supreme-grade life-sustaining semi-supreme elixir!”
The moment these words were spoken—
Shen Suping, Tang Xinying, and Tantai Xuanzong all shot to their feet at the same time, their eyes filled with unprecedented shock!
Especially Shen Suping—when Tan Yun stated the name and properties, she immediately knew… the elixir in his hand was indeed the Soul Consolidation Pill!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Dozens of alchemy elders from the Eternal Immortal Sect sprang to their feet, their faces filled with astonishment—it was clear they knew Tan Yun… was correct!
At this moment, Tan Yun’s gaze was fixed on no one—
Only the elixir in his hand existed!
After pausing for just a single breath, he continued rapidly:
“This elixir can be refined using 3 methods.”
“Method 1 uses 356 herbs, ranging from grade 5 to 3000-year-old ingredients.”
“Method 2 uses 388 herbs, ranging from grade 4 to 3000-year-old ingredients.”
“Method 3 uses 401 herbs, ranging from grade 3 to 2700-year-old ingredients.”
“Based on the scent of this elixir, if I am not mistaken—it should be Method 3!”
“It contains a total of 401 herbs, including—”
“Grade 3 herbs: Azure Spirit Grass, Violet Fragrant Soul Herb, Sprite Blossom Larva… totaling 87 types.”
“Grade 4 herbs: Danggui, Ninefold Cloud Blossom, Three-Flavored Azure Stone… totaling 68 types.”
“Grade 5 herbs: Winter Sakura, Demon Claw Yin Grass… totaling 59 types.”
“Grade 6 herbs: Heart Revival Grass, Blood-Sealing Spirit Mushroom… totaling 42 types.”
“Grade 7 herbs: Heavenly Spirit Grass, Earth Spirit Leaf, Life-Nourishing Yang Grass… totaling 35 types.”
“Grade 8 herbs… totaling 33 types.”
“Grade 9 herbs… totaling 44 types.”
“1600-year-old Heavenly Soul-Rejuvenating Lingzhi… 18 types.”
“2000-year-old Earth Spirit Stone Grass… 13 types.”
At that very moment, Ru Yan Wuji shouted loudly:
“1 breath remaining!”
Tan Yun remained calm and continued rapidly:
“There are still 2 more—first, a 2500-year-old Immortal Soul-Nourishing Herb!”
“Second—and most crucial—a 2700-year-old Origin Essence Spirit Flower!”
The instant he finished speaking, Ru Yan Wuji ঘোষণাed:
“Time’s up!”
The entire arena fell into absolute silence.
Every gaze was fixed on Tan Yun at the center of the stage.
Although no one could immediately confirm whether everything he said was entirely correct—
From the shocked expressions of Zhuge Yu, Tantai Xuanzong, and Ru Yan Wuji—
It was already enough for most people to realize—
Tan Yun… might have been completely correct!
However, no one— not even Ru Yan Wuji—could know whether the “Soul Consolidation Pill” that Tan Yun described truly used 401 herbs ranging from grade 3 to 2700-year-old ingredients.
Moreover—whether all 401 herbs he listed were completely correct… no one could confirm!
But verifying it was actually very simple—
Inside medicinal box No. 188 in the 12th row, there was a jade slip containing the recorded answer!
‘This brat finished answering within 10 breaths. I refuse to believe he’s correct!’ Ru Yan Wuji sneered inwardly before flicking his sleeve.
At once, the jade slip from box No. 188 flew into his hand.
Just as he was about to inspect it with his spiritual sense—
“Wait!” Tantai Xuanzong shouted loudly. “For fairness, you should not examine it alone. What if you alter the contents with your spiritual sense?”
Ru Yan Wuji frowned, his expression displeased.
“If Sect Master Tantai does not trust me, then you and 8 core disciples of your sect may inspect it together with the elders of my sect!”
“Include me as well!” Zhuge Yu added. “I also don’t believe he succeeded!”
Amid the crowd’s doubtful gazes, Tan Yun remained calm.
Right or wrong… true or false—the answer would prove everything!
“Everyone, please,” Ru Yan Wuji said.
In an instant, hundreds of strands of spiritual sense—including his own—entered the jade slip simultaneously!
The contents recorded inside read:
“Supreme-grade semi-supreme elixir: Soul Consolidation Pill, also known as a semi-supreme life-sustaining elixir. Consuming 1 pill can extend the life of someone whose 3 souls and 7 spirits are collapsing by 100 days.”
“This elixir is refined from 401 herbs, ranging from grade 3 to 2700-year-old ingredients.”
“Among them are 87 types of grade 3 herbs…”
“…”
All cultivators possessed exceptional memory—once seen, it would never be forgotten.
Thus, whether elders, sect masters, or palace masters—they all clearly remembered every word Tan Yun had spoken, as well as every herb he had listed!
After only a few breaths—
Tantai Xuanzong’s sturdy body, which had been trembling slightly, suddenly shook violently!
He was the first to withdraw his spiritual sense. Opening his eyes, he stared at Tan Yun with extreme excitement and burst into laughter:
“Hahaha! Tan Yun! You truly did not disappoint me!”
He was nearly ecstatic—because Tan Yun’s answer… was perfectly correct, without the slightest error!
Shen Suping and Tang Xinying, after withdrawing their senses, trembled as well, their eyes filled with disbelief and excitement.
Especially Shen Suping—tears of joy welled up in her eyes.
“He… he was actually correct!”
Murong Shishi clenched her fists tightly, her face pale.
This time—the alchemy faction of Shen Suping had truly outshone all others!
She looked at Shen Suping, who was smiling through tears, her heart filled with a mixture of envy and jealousy…
“A genius… truly a genius!” an elder of the Eternal Immortal Sect exclaimed involuntarily.
Meanwhile, Zhuge Yu’s face turned extremely dark as he roared inwardly:
‘How is this possible… how could he be correct!’
At the same time, Ru Yan Wuji also withdrew his spiritual sense.
Only one thought remained in his mind—
Tan Yun… must die!
In 8 months, in the Eternal Trial Grounds, he would absolutely not allow this boy to survive!
Otherwise… if he were allowed to grow, how could they possibly deal with him!
A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes before he calmed himself, took a deep breath, and announced loudly:
“I hereby declare—Tan Yun has successfully completed the challenge and earns 5000 points!”
“With the previous 890 points, Huangfu Shengzong now has a total of 5890 points, taking 1st place!”
“Sacred Spirit Palace has 2550 points, ranking 2nd!”
“Eternal Immortal Sect has 1940 points, ranking 3rd!”
