The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
At the top of the Jade Tower, Tantai Xuanzhong rose from his seat and gazed at the names of the more than seven hundred disciples who had died in the Eternal Land Trial on the Crouching Dragon List, his eyes filled with sorrow. Tantai Xuanzhong announced loudly, "Time flies, and today is once again the day for the competition to qualify for the Eternal Land Trial." "Three years ago today, I said that the disciples who survived the trials of the Eternal Land would be richly rewarded, and I have d...
Time flies. Four months later, Tan Yun was still in a coma, tempering his three souls: Heaven, Earth, and Fate!
In his unconscious state, he seemed to be enduring unbearable torment, with streaks of blood occasionally oozing from his seven orifices. (Ya Wen Romance)
The Demon Ape, wielding a giant club, diligently protected Tan Yun...
At the same time, Huangfu Shengzong, inner sect, Panlong Jufeng.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of inner disciples stood tall in front of the three Crouching Dragon Platforms on the summit, all gazing sadly at the giant treasure stele—the Crouching Dragon Ranking!
At the top of the Jade Tower, Tantai Xuanzhong rose from his seat and gazed at the names of the more than seven hundred disciples who had died in the Eternal Land Trial on the Crouching Dragon List, his eyes filled with sorrow.
At the very top of the list of over seven hundred disciples were the two characters "Tan Yun"!
Tantai Xuanzhong announced loudly, "Time flies, and today is once again the day for the competition to qualify for the Eternal Land Trial."
"Three years ago today, I said that the disciples who survived the trials of the Eternal Land would be richly rewarded, and I have done so."
"Of the more than two hundred disciples who survived the first thousand trials, I, the sect master, have rewarded them handsomely, and they have all now become disciples of the immortal sect."
"Similarly, I, the sect leader, have also said that if anyone unfortunately dies, his or her name will be recorded on the Crouching Dragon List and remembered forever!"
He paused, and the grief in Tantai Xuanzhong's eyes was unmistakable. "It has been confirmed among the disciples who survived the previous trial that Tan Yun, a Danmai disciple of our sect who died, single-handedly ambushed and killed more than a thousand disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Huangfu Holy Sect in the Abyss of Gods!"
"Then, Tan Yun led the disciples of our sect in a trial battle against the enemy, and Tan Yun alone killed nearly three thousand enemies!"
"He not only had outstanding military achievements, but he also saved the lives of more than two hundred of our sect's trial disciples!"
"However, heaven is jealous of talent, and he died young. Such a disciple is the eternal glory of our Huangfu Holy Sect!"
"His deeds will never be forgotten, and his spirit will live on forever!"
Tantai Xuanzhong said, enunciating each word clearly, "He will live forever in my heart!"
At this moment, especially the inner disciples of the alchemy lineage, were already in tears!
Suppressing his grief and indignation, Tantai Xuanzhong said, "Therefore, I, the sect leader, have erected a statue for him to inspire the world!"
As Tantai Xuanzhong's Qiankun Ring flickered, he waved his right arm, and instantly, a beam of white light shot out from the Qiankun Ring, pierced through the void, and transformed into a top-grade treasure statue, which flew down to the left of the Crouching Dragon List!
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the statue's size increased dramatically, from ten zhang... one hundred zhang... nine hundred zhang, until it finally became a statue that was 1,800 zhang tall!
The statue depicts Tan Yun in a white robe!
The statue is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, vividly depicting Tan Yun before his disciples. (Ya Wen Bar)
The statue of Tan Yun still wears the white robe that Tantai Xuanzhong gave him. At this moment, he raises his head slightly, looking down into the distance with a piercing gaze and a desire to dominate the world!
His long robe was carved out, frozen in its fluttering form in the gale, blending seamlessly with the howling wind sweeping across the peak at this moment!
His sculpture was three points taller than the Crouching Dragon List. As everyone looked up at the statue, it was not hard to imagine how important Tan Yun was in the sect leader's heart!
Gazing at the statue, the disciples of the Danmai sect couldn't help but weep...
The elders of the Danmai sect, recalling Tan Yun's glorious deeds such as climbing the 108th floor of the pagoda, and then thinking of Tan Yun's death, couldn't help but feel grief.
At this moment, apart from Tantai Xuanzhong, none of the hundreds of thousands of people present understood why the eyes in Tan Yun's sculpture were filled with a domineering spirit, and they were even more puzzled as to why the sect leader had sculpted Tan Yun's statue in such a domineering manner!
They certainly didn't understand!
Because they had no idea that the Heavenly Punishment City, the largest in the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range, which was currently under construction outside the mountain gate, was proposed by Tan Yun!
They were even less aware that it was Tan Yun's forty-eight-character strategy that allowed Tantai Xuanzhong to envision the future!
Only Tantai Xuanzhong understood from the forty-eight-character strategy that Tan Yun, though young, cared deeply for the common people and harbored ambitions to dominate the world!
That's why he sculpted the statue to be so imposing!
The deeds of Tan Yun are engraved on the pedestal beneath the statue.
These glorious deeds include the process by which Dan Yun stood out from numerous disciples selected from Meteor City and successfully joined the Huangfu Holy Sect...
The story includes the process of Tan Yun being mistakenly considered a waste and rejected by the nine chief disciples of the inner sect, as well as the process of Tan Yun eventually becoming a menial disciple of the inner sect's alchemy lineage and herb garden with the strong recommendation of the outer sect's grand elder...
In addition, Tan Yun, as a miscellaneous disciple in the inner sect, was able to ascend to the 108th floor of the Supreme Mustard Seed Space-Time Pagoda, becoming the first disciple in the inner sect to reach the 108th floor since the founding of the sect by the patriarch!
He broke the ironclad rule that no one in the inner sect could climb to the top of the tower, creating a legend!
It was he who bestowed upon the inner disciples an undying battle spirit!
Below these deeds is the story of how Tan Yun, single-handedly, reversed the inevitable defeat of the Dan Clan in the Eternal Immortal Sect's Four Arts Competition, enabling the Huangfu Sacred Sect's Dan Clan to win the championship for the first time in nearly 30,000 years of Dan Arts Competition history!
After winning the championship, there was the story of Tan Yun fighting against the geniuses of the Nine Meridians in the Nine Meridians Grand Competition and successfully ascending to the top of the Crouching Dragon Ranking!
Finally, the inscription on the stele records the entire process of Tan Yun protecting the disciples of various lineages and slaughtering the enemy during the trial in the Eternal Land, until he never emerged from the Abyss of the Burial Gods!
At the very top of these accounts are four lines of large, upright, and powerful characters:
"Tan Yun!"
"The number one disciple in the inner sect!"
"Unprecedented and unparalleled!"
"Signed by—Tantai Xuanzhong!"
At this moment, the disciples of the Nine Meridians, except for those of the Five Souls Meridian, the Holy Soul Meridian, and the Beast Soul Meridian, couldn't help but shed tears as they looked at Tan Yun's many deeds!
Everyone held Tan Yun in high esteem and admiration!
Even among the disciples of the Five Souls lineage, the Holy Soul lineage, and the Beast Soul lineage who hated Tan Yun, many sighed with regret, their eyes brimming with tears...
At this moment, Shen Wende, who had become the chief of the inner sect's alchemy lineage after Shen Subing's promotion to meritorious elder of the immortal sect's alchemy lineage more than a year ago, rose from his seat, letting his turbid tears fall incessantly, his aged voice filled with pride:
"All disciples of the Dan Clan, listen to my command! Follow me in paying homage to Tan Yun, and to the eternal glory of our Dan Clan!"
After speaking, Shen Wende faced the statue of Tan Yun and bowed deeply.
"Senior Brother Tan!" Da Niu cried out and knelt on the mountaintop.
The disciples of the Lingshan Medicine Garden behind him all knelt down and wept uncontrollably!
At this moment, the hearts of tens of thousands of disciples of the Dan Clan were deeply moved, and they knelt down before the statue in silent tears!
I kneel in genuine emotion!
Immediately, hundreds of thousands of disciples from the other eight sects bowed deeply to the statue, their respect arising from the bottom of their hearts!
