The Supreme Being Against Heaven

After Linghu Changkong swore an oath to the heavens, Murong Kun spoke in a sinister tone:

“Linghu Changkong, 80,000,000 low-grade spirit stones is not a small amount. I advise you to gather them within 1 month. Otherwise, later you may not be able to take them out!”

After speaking, Murong Kun flicked his sleeve and immediately turned around to leave.

After Murong Kun departed, Linghu Changkong instead felt extremely pleased and let out a faint cold laugh.

“What a fool!”

In his eyes, Mu Mengyi clearly had feelings for Tan Yun, and during this 1-month period she would certainly stay by Tan Yun’s side and protect him at all times. Even if Murong Kun personally brought people to kill Tan Yun, there was no way he could succeed!

By the final day of the 1-month deadline, Ye Tian would be able to kill Tan Yun on the final dueling stage!

Linghu Changkong’s plan was to use Murong Kun as a chess piece—lure him into a trap, then kill him and seize his enormous wealth for himself. It was truly killing 2 birds with 1 stone!

Of course, Linghu Changkong had to immediately inform Ye Tian not to reveal the news of the duel with Tan Yun in 1 month. Otherwise, Murong Kun might discover his scheme beforehand!

…

While Linghu Changkong was feeling smug, Murong Kun sneered coldly in his heart.

“Linghu Changkong, you underestimate me, Murong Kun, far too much! Even if Mu Mengyi protects Tan Yun the entire time, I still have a way to kill him!”

…

While the two were each hiding their own sinister plans, Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi had already left the Hidden Dragon List area and were walking along an ancient road filled with dense spiritual energy.

Although they had already let go of each other’s hands, a gentle warmth still lingered in their hearts.

Mu Mengyi’s cheeks were slightly flushed, and she appeared quite shy.

Tan Yun could not help glancing at her several times, which made Mu Mengyi blush even more, her heart beating rapidly and irregularly.

Could it be… this girl likes me?

Tan Yun looked at Mu Mengyi thoughtfully.

Mu Mengyi spoke with a slight pout, yet her expression was charming.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Uh… ahem… I want to eat…”

Tan Yun almost blurted out the word “you,” but quickly corrected himself.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to eat wild beast meat? Let’s go. I’ll hunt some and roast it for you right now.”

A warm sweetness filled Mu Mengyi’s heart. She gently shook her head and looked at Tan Yun with concern.

“There will be plenty of time in the future. You can cook for me often later. Right now the most important thing is that you heal your injuries first.”

“Mm, that works too.”

Tan Yun smiled faintly.

Not long after, the two arrived outside Mu Mengyi’s residence hall.

Behind them, Xue Ziyan followed tactfully, not stepping forward to interrupt the two.

“Senior Sister Mu…”

Tan Yun seemed to remember something, but before he could finish speaking, Mu Mengyi interrupted softly.

“We have already gone through life and death together. If you still call me Senior Sister, it feels too distant. Just call me Mengyi.”

“Alright.”

Tan Yun agreed easily before continuing to ask,

“Mengyi, I remember last time you said that in the outer-disciple market there are no Fire Seeds for sale, right? Then among the magical swords sold in the outer-disciple market, what is the highest grade available?”

Mu Mengyi thought for a moment before replying.

“Tan Yun, cultivators at the Spirit Embryo Realm like us still cannot display the true power of a spiritual-weapon flying sword before reaching the Spirit Soul Realm.”

“Therefore, most shops in the outer-disciple market only sell high-grade spiritual-weapon longswords at most.”

“However, there is one shop called ‘Immortal Sword Residence’ that sells a few ordinary low-grade spiritual-weapon flying swords, mainly to satisfy the vanity of wealthy disciples.”

“As for low-grade spiritual-weapon flying swords with special attributes, the shop does not sell them.”

Hearing this, Tan Yun—who urgently needed a weapon and wanted to enter closed-door cultivation as soon as possible—looked at Mu Mengyi and said,

“Mengyi, I want to enter closed-door cultivation as quickly as possible. Could you help me buy a low-grade spiritual-weapon flying sword?”

“Tan Yun, a low-grade spiritual-weapon flying sword is practically useless for your current cultivation level, except that it’s slightly sharper than a high-grade spiritual-weapon sword. Moreover, the price is extremely expensive. Why would you want to buy one?” Mu Mengyi asked in great confusion.

“All I need is sharpness. Nothing else matters,” Tan Yun replied, recalling his earlier battle with Ye Tian.

At that time, Ye Tian held a high-grade spiritual-weapon broadsword, and with the Dragon Martial Overlord Body he had cultivated, he shattered Tan Yun’s high-grade spiritual-weapon longsword with just 2 strikes!

Therefore, Tan Yun urgently needed an extremely sharp weapon. Once he advanced to become an inner disciple, he would purchase weapon-refining materials from the inner-disciple market and forge a weapon himself!

“Tan Yun, even an ordinary low-grade spiritual-weapon flying sword costs as much as 10,000,000 low-grade spirit stones,” Mu Mengyi said.

Then she removed her Qiankun Ring from her jade-like finger and handed it to Tan Yun without hesitation.

“I only have 1,000,000 low-grade spirit stones. Take them first. I’ll find a way to help you gather the rest.”

Before Tan Yun could say anything, Xue Ziyan hurriedly stepped forward.

“Senior Sister, are you really willing to give that away?! That’s everything you’ve painstakingly saved over the years from hunting beasts and collecting spiritual herbs…”

“You’re talking too much.”

Mu Mengyi gently tugged at Xue Ziyan’s sleeve, stopping her from continuing.

“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything.”

Xue Ziyan rolled her eyes before looking at Tan Yun with a pained expression.

“Here, I have 1,900,000. You can use it first—but remember, you must return it to me!”

As she spoke, she also removed her Qiankun Ring and handed it to Tan Yun.

Looking at the two young women, Tan Yun suddenly felt deeply moved.

However, he did not accept their rings. Instead, amid their confusion, he asked:

“Do either of you have a low-grade spiritual-weapon flying sword?”

Mu Mengyi gently shook her head.

In her heart, she suddenly recalled the past when she had once been a princess of a sacred dynasty. Now that she had fallen into such circumstances, her expression inevitably grew dim.

Meanwhile, Xue Ziyan spoke as bluntly as ever.

“Hmph! I wish I had one too, but I simply can’t afford it!”

Tan Yun smiled slightly before removing his own storage ring.

Under Mu Mengyi’s puzzled gaze, he placed the ring in her palm and said,

“In broad daylight like this, Murong Kun probably wouldn’t dare come here to assassinate me. Inside are 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones—just enough to buy 3 low-grade spiritual-weapon flying swords.”

“You and Senior Sister Xue can each buy 1, and just bring the remaining 1 back for me.”

Mu Mengyi’s beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Tan Yun in disbelief.

She had never expected Tan Yun to possess so many spirit stones, and she certainly hadn’t expected him to be so generous.

At the same time, a quiet ripple stirred deep within her heart.

Xue Ziyan, standing beside her, was equally stunned as she stared at him without blinking.

“Wow, wow, wow! Kid, I never expected you to be a hidden rich man!”

“But speaking of it… you’re not just pretending to be generous, are you?”

Tan Yun was instantly speechless, dark lines appearing across his forehead.

“Hehe!”

Xue Ziyan laughed before saying,

“Senior Sister Mu, hurry and accept it. If this guy suddenly changes his mind, it’ll be a waste.”

“I don’t want to deal with you.”

Mu Mengyi rolled her eyes at her before trying to return the ring to Tan Yun.

“This is far too valuable. I can’t accept it.”

“If you consider me a friend, then accept it,” Tan Yun said seriously.

Mu Mengyi bit her thin lip tightly before finally nodding gently.

“Mm…”

Then she asked again,

“Do you still have any spirit stones left now?”

“Not at the moment, but in the future I will definitely have plenty,” Tan Yun replied confidently.

Once he advanced to become an inner disciple, with his renowned skills in pill refining, weapon forging, talisman crafting, and formation arrays—skills that had once shaken the heavens and countless worlds—

As long as he had time, the one thing he would never lack would be spirit stones.

Think about it from his perspective.

If these two girls were willing to give him all the savings they had accumulated over many years to help him—

Then why couldn’t he do the same for them?
