The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Subsequently, at Tantai Xuanzhong's command, the disciples rose with tears in their eyes.

Tantai Xuanzhong looked down at the disciples and said, "As everyone knows, half a year ago, the disciples of our sect's four lineages of alchemy, formation, weaponry, and talisman, together with the Divine Soul Immortal Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect, held a grand competition of the four arts to determine the number of people who could enter the Eternal Land for trials."

"Although the Abyss of Burial Gods is full of unknown dangers, for your safety, I, the sect master, have decided to forgo the grand competition of the four arts of the three ancient sects."

"In this way, according to the agreement between our ancestor and the ancestors of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Soul Immortal Palace, since we have given up, our sect must give up nine hundred of the one thousand trial disciples and distribute them to one palace and one sect."

"In other words, in this trial of the Eternal Land, our sect only has one hundred slots, while the entire palace and sect have a total of five thousand nine hundred slots."

"The enemy is strong and we are weak. I was unwilling to send one hundred disciples of my sect to their deaths, but this is a rule set by my sect's founder. Helplessly, my sect will still send one hundred people to the Eternal Land to participate in the trial."

Upon hearing this, the hundreds of thousands of inner disciples on the peak were in an uproar, and the nine chief disciples of the inner sect also exchanged glances.

At this moment, Tantai Xuanzhong said again: "The Nine Meridians Grand Competition will proceed as usual, and the Crouching Dragon Ranking Competition will also proceed as usual. However, the sect leader requires the hundred disciples participating in the trial to participate voluntarily."

"You need to think this through carefully; the chances of survival for those who participate are slim."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere on the summit became extremely oppressive, and all the disciples fell silent, for this matter concerned life and death and could not be taken lightly.

"Sect Master, Nangong Ruxue, a disciple of the Dan Cultivation lineage, requests to participate!" At this moment, Nangong Ruxue, who had already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, stepped forward from among the Dan Cultivation lineage disciples. "Sect Master, rest assured, although the Holy Maiden of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace is my sister, I will never show mercy to any disciple of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace!"

"Good! This sect master grants permission!" Tantai Xuanzhong's eyes were approving. It would be most suitable for Nangong Ruxue to participate in the trial. The disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Soul Immortal Palace, out of respect for her being Nangong Yuqin's sister, would certainly not harm her!

"Sect Master, your disciple hereby pays his respects!"

"This disciple will also participate!"

"And me..."

Accompanied by a cry of defiance, hundreds of people stepped forward almost simultaneously.

What's truly touching is that these disciples are all from the Dan lineage!

Seeing this, Shen Wende, seated in his seat, revealed an expression of approval. In contrast, the other eight chief members felt utterly humiliated!

At the summit, the disciples of the other eight sects, having observed the expression on their chief disciple's face, immediately raised their voices in unison, as if facing death, and stepped forward, "Sect Master, we will participate!"

At this point, the expressions of the eight chiefs improved slightly.

After waving his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, Tantai Xuanzhong remained silent for a while before saying, "How about this, twenty people from the Dan lineage and ten people from each of the other lineages. As for who will participate in the trial, the nine chief disciples can decide."

"Your subordinates obey!" After receiving the orders, the nine chief disciples spent a short while finalizing the list of disciples to participate in the trial.

"thump!"

The Great Ox, a ninth-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, knelt down before Shen Wende on the Jade Tower, pleading, "Chief Elder, please grant me a spot. I wish to represent all the disciples of the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden to offer incense to Senior Brother Tan in the Eternal Land. Please grant my request!"

At this moment, hundreds of disciples from the Dan Clan knelt down and said in unison, "Please grant our request, Chief Elder!"

Shen Wende's white eyebrows twitched. "Da Niu, with your strength, if you were encountered by any disciple of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace or the Eternal Immortal Sect, you would be dead."

"This disciple doesn't care about these things; this disciple only wants to offer incense to Senior Brother Tan." Da Niu's gaze was firm.

"Very well, I grant your permission!" Shen Wende said.

Subsequently, Tantai Xuanzhong told the nine chief disciples that since the Heavenly Punishment City was in an important stage of construction, he would not go to the Eternal Immortal Sect. Instead, he sent his uncle, Tantai Long, to lead them and a hundred trial disciples to the Eternal Immortal Sect...

Time flies, and two months later, Tantai Long, this old man with a Taoist air, arrived at the Eternal Immortal Sect in his spirit boat.

After resting for a night at the Eternal Immortal Sect, Ru Yan Wuji opened the space-time tunnel leading to the Eternal Land the next day.

This time, the Divine Soul Immortal Palace had 3,450 inner disciples participating in the trial; the Eternal Immortal Sect had 2,450.

After the six thousand disciples from the two sects and one palace entered the Eternal Land, they began a year-long trial.

One year later, a time tunnel lasting one hour will be opened on the Time Immortal Mountain, 100,000 miles away from the Burial God Abyss, for the trial disciples to return to the Eternal Immortal Sect.

After the disciples were randomly teleported through the space-time tunnel to a trial area ten million miles in circumference in the Eternal Land, the 5,900 disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Soul Immortal Palace launched a ruthless search and slaughter of the Huangfu Holy Sect disciples!

Half a year passed quickly.

Suddenly, from the deepest part of the Burial God Abyss, came a burst of excited voice, "Hahahaha! I have finally completed the tempering and reshaping of my three souls and entered the minor completion stage of the third level of the Primordial Chaos Body!"

At this moment, Tan Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly jumped up and released his spiritual sense to the extreme. The invisible spiritual sense was like a surging tide, carrying the trembling void, and rapidly extended towards the outside of the Burial God Abyss!

One hundred li... three hundred li... six hundred li... It quickly surpassed the previous seven hundred and eighty li, and only stopped at two thousand li!

This means that Tan Yun's spiritual sense can cover an area of ​​two thousand miles. It's unbelievable that he, who is only at the third level of the Soul Refining Realm, now has a soul strength comparable to that of the ninth level of the Soul Refining Realm!

That's right!

That's the Ninth Realm!

If this were to become known, people would be absolutely shocked.

You should know that even a cultivator at the third level of the Soul Refining Realm who specializes in cultivating techniques to enhance their soul is far from being able to reach the level of a cultivator at the ninth level of the Soul Refining Realm!

"Buzz!"

Tan Yun's hair stopped flying, and she withdrew her spiritual sense. Thinking of Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wushiyao, her starry eyes were filled with deep longing. "They must be very worried about me. It's time for me to go back!"

"If my calculations are correct, the Eternal Land Trial has been underway for half a year now, and the time tunnel will open in another six months!"

Thinking to himself, Tan Yun condensed a layer of spiritual energy light screen around himself and immediately activated the Blood Tear Primordial Demon Killing Prohibition again. Instantly, the blood lake, which was tens of thousands of feet in diameter, surged with billowing black mist, filling the dim void!

"Whoosh!"

Tan Yun used the Primordial Divine Steps, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared a thousand feet away with a gust of wind. He was extremely satisfied with this speed!

Then, he vanished into thin air and reappeared on the shoulder of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape, laughing loudly, "Old Ape, I need you to take me out of the abyss within six months!"

"Hehe, don't worry, Master, I will definitely complete the mission!" The Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape grinned, and its towering thousand-meter-tall body raced towards the edge of the abyss!

With each step, he leaped across thousands of feet. From high above, one could see a huge beam of purplish-black light flashing as it sped toward the edge of the abyss, a sight that was utterly terrifying!
