The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Having made up his mind, Tan Yun continued to hold the cyan-green pill above his palm and spoke in a clear, resonant voice: “Everyone, this pill—back in the Middle Ancient Era—was originally known as the ‘Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill.’ For reasons unknown, its status was later elevated, and its name was distorted into the ‘Top-Grade Lesser Immortal Youth-Preserving Pill.’” After saying that, he paused briefly, then turned respectfully toward Tang Xinying. “That’s correct… everything you said ...
Having made up his mind, Tan Yun continued to hold the cyan-green pill above his palm and spoke in a clear, resonant voice:
“Everyone, this pill—back in the Middle Ancient Era—was originally known as the ‘Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill.’ For reasons unknown, its status was later elevated, and its name was distorted into the ‘Top-Grade Lesser Immortal Youth-Preserving Pill.’”
After saying that, he paused briefly, then turned respectfully toward Tang Xinying.
“Palace Master Tang, if I’m not mistaken, after consuming this pill, one can maintain their appearance for 30 years—but it does not possess any anti-aging effects. Am I correct?”
Tang Xinying looked at Tan Yun with a complicated expression before nodding lightly.
“That’s correct… everything you said is true.”
Tan Yun immediately raised his voice, speaking with clarity and conviction:
“Therefore, it is not worthy of being called a Top-Grade Lesser Immortal Youth-Preserving Pill!”
“In truth, it is merely a ‘Top-Grade Treasure-Class Pill’!”
Suddenly, he pointed toward the 12 dark green pills floating above the cauldron, his expression filled with confidence.
“As for these 12 pills—these are the true Top-Grade Lesser Immortal Youth-Preserving Pills!”
“Before the Middle Ancient Era, they were revered as 1 of the 3 great kings among top-grade lesser immortal pills!”
“The reason is simple—just 1 pill can preserve youth for up to 300 years!”
“That is 10 times longer than ordinary youth-preserving pills!”
The moment those words were spoken, the elders seated around instantly showed burning desire in their eyes.
300 years of youth!
On the path of cultivation, no one wished to wither with time—especially the hundreds of female elders present.
If what Tan Yun said was true, they almost couldn’t resist rushing forward to seize the pills he had refined!
However… an even more shocking revelation was yet to come.
Tan Yun continued, his tone unwavering and confident:
“The reason why the Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill was honored as 1 of the 3 great pill kings is because it possesses a property… that even the Eternal Beauty Pill cannot match!”
The Eternal Beauty Pill—something all the female elders were very familiar with.
Just 1 pill could preserve beauty for up to 1,000 years, and it even carried astonishing anti-aging effects!
At this moment, every female elder’s gaze was locked tightly onto Tan Yun.
They desperately wanted to know—what could possibly surpass such a pill?
Tan Yun declared firmly:
“The Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill not only has powerful anti-aging effects—”
“It can also ‘reverse age’!”
“The elderly, after consuming it, will return to the appearance of middle age!”
“Those in middle age will become young again!”
“And those who are already young… will revert to their 18-year-old selves!”
He paused slightly, then continued in an even more stirring tone:
“A middle-aged woman, after consuming it, will appear as if she is 20 years old!”
“And women aged 20–30, after taking it—will revert to a 16-year-old girl!”
“Most importantly—this state will last for 300 years!”
“After those 300 years, the body will not suddenly age, but instead begin to ‘grow again’ from adolescence… as if living life naturally once more!”
After Tan Yun finished speaking, every female elder present stared at him with burning eyes.
What woman… could resist the allure of beauty?
Even Zhuge Yu, who held immense authority, was no exception!
“Tan Yun, why should I believe your words?” Zhuge Yu asked calmly.
Tan Yun chuckled lightly.
“Why not try it? If you’re willing to pay 1,000,000,000,000 top-grade spirit stones, I’ll sell you 1 pill. You can test it yourself.”
“1,000,000,000,000 top-grade spirit stones?” Zhuge Yu said coldly. “Quite arrogant. But who knows if what you refined is poison? Or something that produces the opposite effect?”
Tan Yun replied indifferently,
“There’s no need to trouble Palace Master Zhuge with that.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the true Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill was lost after the Middle Ancient Era.”
“So what people call it in later eras… is merely a downgraded version.”
A faint cold smile appeared on his lips.
“A treasure like this—whether I sell it or not depends entirely on my mood.”
“Even if you offer 10,000,000,000,000, I still wouldn’t sell it to you!”
Those words made Zhuge Yu so furious she nearly coughed up blood!
Tan Yun then turned to Shen Subing, who appeared to be around 26–27 years old, and thought to himself:
*A treasure like this… should naturally go to my disciple first.*
He cupped his fists and said,
“Palace Master, would you like to try 1?”
“Uh… this… perhaps it’s not a good idea…” Shen Subing hesitated.
Did she want to return to her youthful years?
Yes.
More than anything.
She had dreamed of it countless times.
But… how could she dare take a pill that would affect her appearance?
What if it disfigured her face? What if there were irreversible side effects?
That would be a suffering she could never bear!
“I see…”
Tan Yun paused, then understood—Shen Subing was too hesitant. It seemed he would have to give it to her later.
Then, he turned to Tang Xinying.
“Palace Master Tang, would you like to try? Don’t worry—it’s not poison.”
“Hmm…” Tang Xinying hesitated for a moment before replying against her true feelings,
“I think… it’s better to remain at my current appearance of 25.”
She looked at Tan Yun and added,
“According to you, you look about 23 now. Why don’t you try it yourself?”
“Palace Master, this disciple prefers a more mature appearance. I have no desire to return to my teenage years—”
Before he could finish, a clear, sweet voice rang out:
“Tan Yun, I want to take it. I truly want to return to my youth.”
Everyone turned toward the voice.
They saw Zhong Wu Shiyao, a stunning beauty who appeared around 20 years old, walking forward gracefully. Her beautiful eyes were filled with joy… and deep, unwavering love—without even a trace of fear.
She stopped in front of Tan Yun, her lips curving slightly, her gaze firm.
“No matter whether others believe you or not… I will always believe in you.”
Her voice softened.
“I just don’t know… if I return to being 16, will you still like me?”
Tan Yun smiled gently and said sincerely,
“I love you… I’ve loved you since the first time I saved you.”
“No matter what you look like… my feelings will never change.”
“Mmm…”
Zhong Wu Shiyao’s cheeks flushed red.
Suddenly, she spun lightly, flicking her hand. One of the 12 pills floating above the cauldron instantly flew into her palm.
Before everyone’s eyes—she placed it into her mouth without hesitation and swallowed it!
This action… deeply moved Tan Yun.
He knew just how much the woman he loved trusted him.
“Shiyao, in a moment you’ll feel a bit of pain, but it won’t last long.”
As soon as he finished speaking—
Zhong Wu Shiyao felt as if countless needles were piercing her face, neck, and entire body!
But… she paid no attention to the pain at all!
“Look!” one elder suddenly shouted.
All eyes focused on her—and something astonishing happened!
Zhong Wu Shiyao’s skin—on her hands, neck, and face—became visibly smoother!
Within just a few breaths, her skin turned as white as snow, soft and delicate as if it could drip with water when pressed!
Moments later—
Zhong Wu Shiyao, who had appeared around 20 years old… reverted to the appearance of a 16-year-old—just like the day she first met Tan Yun!
“Little Sister…”
Tang Xinying’s figure flashed, appearing instantly before Zhong Wu Shiyao. She stared at her in extreme shock.
“Little Sister… you really turned back into a teenager!”
“Really?”
Zhong Wu Shiyao couldn’t help but laugh.
“Big Sister, really? You… you’re not lying to me, are you?”
