The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Tan Yun, how about this?” “If you give me 3 pills, then in a little over 2 months, you won’t have to fight Yu Qin to the death.” “In exchange, I will allow disciples of your Huangfu Sect to enter the Divine Battlefield for training for 100 years.” Hearing this, Tantai Xuanzhong was about to urge Tan Yun to agree—but Tan Yun spoke first. Then he turned to Ru Yan Wuji and said calmly: “Sect Master Ru Yan, it’s now clear that Tan Yun has refined a top-grade lesser immortal pill. “Wuji, what the ma...
“Of course! It’s absolutely real! This is unbelievable!”
Tang Xinying exclaimed in disbelief. A flash of blue light flickered from her interspatial ring, and a blue mirror appeared in her jade-like hand. She handed it to Zhong Wu Shiyao.
“Here—see for yourself.”
Zhong Wu Shiyao took the mirror, looked at her reflection, and immediately began jumping with joy.
“Hehe! This is amazing! Tan Yun, you’re incredible!”
She was so happy she almost forgot everything else!
At the same time, both Tang Xinying and Shen Subing looked at Zhong Wu Shiyao with unmistakable envy in their eyes.
With a light wave of his hand, the remaining 11 Youth-Preserving Pills floating above the cauldron flew back into Tan Yun’s palm.
Tang Xinying and Shen Subing couldn’t help but glance at him, their expressions slightly awkward—wanting to speak, yet unable to.
They both wanted to ask Tan Yun for the pills… but earlier, he had already offered, and they had refused.
Now, it felt too embarrassing to bring it up again.
Tan Yun noticed their expressions, smiled faintly, and handed 1 pill to Tang Xinying.
“Palace Master Tang, consider this a gift from your disciple.”
“Thank you!”
Tang Xinying’s face lit up like a young girl’s. She reached out to take the pill, but instead of consuming it immediately, she carefully stored it in her interspatial ring like a priceless treasure.
“Palace Master, this one is for you.”
Tan Yun handed another pill to Shen Subing.
“Thank you,” she said softly before adding, “Could you give me 1 more?”
“Of course.”
Tan Yun immediately handed her another and reminded her,
“This pill—1 is enough.”
“I understand.”
Shen Subing nodded and stored both pills safely in her interspatial ring.
Zhuge Yu also wanted to ask… but she knew Tan Yun wouldn’t agree so easily.
However, thinking about the result—just 1 pill could restore her appearance to around 20 years old—she couldn’t hold back.
“Tan Yun, how about this?”
“If you give me 3 pills, then in a little over 2 months, you won’t have to fight Yu Qin to the death.”
“In exchange, I will allow disciples of your Huangfu Sect to enter the Divine Battlefield for training for 100 years.”
Hearing this, Tantai Xuanzhong was about to urge Tan Yun to agree—but Tan Yun spoke first.
“I can agree… but it has to be 10,000 years.”
“Hmph!”
Zhuge Yu snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Tantai Xuanzhong frowned at Tan Yun’s firm refusal but did not speak.
Meanwhile, Murong Shishi looked at Zhong Wu Shiyao, wanting her to help ask for a pill on her behalf… but in the end, she said nothing.
Gongsun Ruoxi gazed at Zhong Wu Shiyao with envy, her thoughts drifting far away…
“Sect Master, would you like to try one?”
Tan Yun turned to Tantai Xuanzhong.
“No. Like you said, I prefer a more mature appearance.”
For the first time, Tantai Xuanzhong spoke in a slightly teasing tone. Then he turned to Ru Yan Wuji and said calmly:
“Sect Master Ru Yan, it’s now clear that Tan Yun has refined a top-grade lesser immortal pill. According to the rules, he should receive 800 points.”
Ru Yan Wuji let out a cold snort.
“Sect Master Tantai, you’re mistaken.”
“What Tan Yun claims—that it’s a top-grade lesser immortal pill—is merely his own statement. How can it be trusted?”
“Exactly!”
Zhuge Yu added,
“Furthermore, the highest-grade herbs he used are only Grade 7.”
“This alone proves that what he refined can be, at best, a mid-grade spirit pill!”
At that moment, hundreds of elders from the Eternal Immortal Sect seated above, along with 4 elders from the Divine Soul Palace, all nodded in agreement with Ru Yan Wuji and Zhuge Yu.
It wasn’t because they were deliberately siding with them—
but because, in their understanding…
Grade 7 herbs—
could never produce a top-grade lesser immortal pill!
At that moment, Tan Yun cupped his fists toward the surrounding crowd and spoke calmly:
“Elders, I’m afraid your understanding of alchemy… may be somewhat mistaken.”
“My master once said—even with only Grade 3 spiritual herbs, it is still possible to refine a Top-Grade Treasure-Class pill.”
“The Dao of alchemy is vast and profound. How can the rank of a pill be judged solely by the grade of its ingredients?”
Ru Yan Wuji let out a mocking snort.
“Enough with your nonsense. No matter how eloquent you are, I will never believe you!”
Tantai Xuanzhong glanced at both Ru Yan Wuji and Zhuge Yu, his expression growing serious.
“Sect Master Ru Yan, if you refuse to believe… then it seems we must invite the senior elders of your sect to verify this.”
“Ridiculous!”
Ru Yan Wuji immediately rejected the idea.
“For such a trivial matter, how could we disturb the cultivation of our senior elders!”
He was telling the truth—unless absolutely necessary, he would never dare disturb those “ancient ancestors.”
“In that case, we will score it as a mid-grade spirit pill—20 points!”
Ru Yan Wuji declared coldly, as if the matter was already settled.
Tantai Xuanzhong was so furious he nearly coughed up blood!
If counted as a top-grade lesser immortal pill—Huangfu Sect would take 1st place in this competition!
But if it were only 20 points—they would fall to 2nd place!
The gap… was simply too great!
“Ru Yan Wuji, as a sect master… can you not even accept defeat?”
Tantai Xuanzhong gritted his teeth.
“Hmph—”
Ru Yan Wuji was just about to respond—
when suddenly—
an ancient, mysterious voice echoed down from the sky!
The voice could be heard… but no figure could be seen!
“Wuji, what the master of young friend Tan Yun said is correct.”
“Grade 3 herbs can indeed be used to refine Top-Grade Treasure-Class pills.”
“And the pill refined by young friend Tan Yun… is precisely the Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill that was lost since the Middle Ancient Era!”
“Wuji, as a sect master, your actions do not represent only yourself—but the entire Eternal Immortal Sect.”
“A loss is a loss—you must accept it.”
The moment he heard this, Ru Yan Wuji trembled. He quickly raised his head toward the sky and cupped his fists respectfully.
“Uncle-Master speaks rightly. I was indeed lacking in judgment.”
“Mmm.”
A faint response echoed… and then everything returned to silence.
Inside, Ru Yan Wuji’s heart burned with rage.
*That old fool! How annoying—actually siding with an outsider!*
At the same time, everyone from the Eternal Immortal Sect felt overwhelming awe.
There was no doubt—the one who had appeared silently and left without a trace just now…
was one of the former 5 sect masters of the Eternal Immortal Sect!
Tantai Xuanzhong himself was bewildered.
He couldn’t understand why someone of that level… would speak up in support of the Huangfu Sect.
And he wasn’t the only one—everyone was filled with questions.
But at this moment, the way everyone looked at Tan Yun… had completely changed!
Gone was the mockery and disdain—
what remained was pure shock!
Tan Yun… had truly refined the Top-Grade Youth-Preserving Pill lost since the Middle Ancient Era!
That meant—his alchemy level… was at least at the level of an Immortal Alchemy Grandmaster!
And one who had mastered all tiers of lesser immortal pills—low, mid, high, and top-grade!
“Sect Master… we won… we really won…”
Shen Subing’s tears streamed down her face, her voice trembling with joy.
In her heart, she suddenly thought deeply of her own master…
Tantai Xuanzhong’s eyes also filled with tears.
After 10,000 years…
Huangfu Sect… had finally won the alchemy competition!
And from this day forward—
Tan Yun’s name would spread like thunder across all 3 sects in a very short time!
