The Supreme Being Against Heaven

When Shen Wende confirmed it was Tan Yun, his old body trembled repeatedly, and tears of excitement streamed down his face. He took a step forward and hugged Tan Yun tightly in his arms, "Good...good child, it's good that you're not dead!"

"I knew it! How could you possibly die!"

Shen Wende was so excited he was almost incoherent, “That’s wonderful! Miss will be so happy if she knows you’re not dead!”

"Also, Qingfeng and Qingqiu were heartbroken for a long time when they thought you were dead!"

"This is great! Not only did you survive, but you also advanced to the third level of the Soul Refining Realm. Congratulations!"

"You brat, tell this old man what's going on!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Yun said, "Elder Shen, after I left the Abyss of Burial Gods, I encountered a beast tide. Fortunately, I hid and managed to save my life."

Tan Yun naturally wouldn't reveal that he had found the four Primordial Divine Swords.

At the same time, as Tan Yun was speaking, he noticed a barely perceptible hint of killing intent flash across the eyes of the old scoundrel, the Holy Soul Daoist, as he looked at him.

Tan Yun sneered inwardly, "Linghu Canghe, you must have been very happy when you thought I was dead, right? Happy that I, who killed your great-grandson, am dead?"

"You wait, once we return to the sect, I'll send you and your great-grandson to meet in hell!"

Just as Tan Yun had thought, the Holy Soul Daoist was burning with rage at this moment!

He never expected that Tan Yun was still alive!

Tan Yun also noticed that among the original nine chief disciples, Five Soul Daoist, Murong Shishi, and Shen Subing were missing.

He knew without a doubt that Murong Shishi, the Five Souls Daoist, and his beloved disciple had become elders of the immortal sect.

Tan Yun thought of how Shen Tianci entrusted Shen Subing to her before his death, and then of how obedient Shen Subing was like a young girl in front of her. Suddenly, she missed her.

Tan Yun calculated the time and realized that it had been more than three years since he had last visited her as her master.

"So you're Tan Yun! Come here and let this old man take a look!" A loud, energetic laugh interrupted Tan Yun's thoughts.

Tan Yun turned to face the unfamiliar Tantai Long and bowed deeply, saying, "Disciple greets Senior. And who are you?"

"Me? Hehehe, I am Xuanzhong's second uncle," Tantai Long said kindly.

"So you're the sect leader's uncle." Tan Yun was surprised and bowed again.

"No need for formalities." Tantai Long held Tan Yun's hand with a hint of indulgence and laughed, "You little rascal, you have no idea. Back then, after Xuan Zhong thought you were dead, he was in a daze for a whole month."

"You still don't know, do you? More than a year ago, when I went to the inner sect's Panlong Giant Peak, I personally witnessed the statue that Xuan Zhong made for you..."

For the next three hours, Tantai Long and Tan Yun talked heart to heart, appearing to be close friends despite their age difference.

A day later, after Tan Yun's facial injuries had healed, Tantai Long looked at Tan Yun and thought to himself that he was indeed a handsome and talented man, and a perfect match for his grandniece!

Thus, amidst the envious and astonished gazes of everyone, Tantai Long instructed Tan Yun to henceforth address him as "Grand-Uncle" (a crude way of addressing someone as "Second Grandfather").

Time flies, and two months later, the spirit boat carrying everyone appeared in a grand procession above the Huangfu Shengzong mountain gate.

Tan Yun looked down and was greeted by a stunning scene!

Nestled amidst majestic mountains shrouded in spiritual energy, a colossal city spanning thousands of miles lay prostrate on the ground like a colossal beast.

Inside the quaint city, the ground is paved with bluestone, and on both sides of the crisscrossing streets, towering pavilions, some hundreds or even thousands of feet high, are neatly built, covering the land in a spectacular manner.

The Heavenly Punishment City is now in its final stage.

All it takes is transplanting flowers, trees, and shrubs, building city gates, and setting up a protective array to complete the project!

At that time, thousands of sects in the central part of the Heavenly Punishment Mountains will open shops and settle in Fangcheng.

The spirit boat hovered in the sky. Tantai Long looked at Tan Yun with a smile, who was somewhat lost in thought. "Yun'er, doesn't it feel magnificent?"

"Yes, it is indeed magnificent!" Tan Yun nodded emphatically.

“Of course! This ward city was built under the supervision of my nephew.” Tantai Long was unaware that the suggestion to build the ward city came from Tan Yun.

Of course, apart from Tan Yun, Tan Tai Xuan Zhong, and Tan Tai Xuan Zhong's servant, Tan Tai Qian Yuan, no one else knew about Tan Yun's forty-eight-character plan.

"Grand Uncle, the Sect Master's vision is truly remarkable, a blessing to our sect," Tan Yun said, bowing.

"Yes! My nephew will be the greatest sect leader besides our ancestor." Tantai Long stroked his beard and smiled.

"Oh, by the way, Tan Yun, my nephew and Qian Yuan are in Fangcheng right now. Go and see him. He'll be so happy to see you back!"

Tan Yun originally wanted to go find Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wushiyao immediately, but after hearing this, he decided to report to the sect leader first and then go find the two women.

Tan Yun turned to look at Da Niu and the other disciples and said, "Please don't spread the news that I'm alive yet. I want to give Meng Yi and Shi Yao a surprise."

Tan Yun saved all the disciples' lives, so naturally they agreed!

Immediately, Tan Yun rode his flying sword and shot down towards Tianfafang City...

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of disciples at the Spirit Embryo Realm and Spirit Soul Realm are busy in the city. Some are digging pits and carrying water, while others are responsible for cultivating flowers, trees, and other vegetation. Everyone is working diligently and happily.

The diverse sect uniforms worn by hundreds of thousands of disciples reveal that they are all disciples of first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate cultivation sects in the central region of the Heavenly Punishment Mountains.

There are two reasons why these disciples worked so hard and devotedly to building the Heavenly Punishment City.

First, it was the order from their respective sect leaders.

Secondly, Huangfu Shengzong not only provided his sect with various cultivation resources such as pills and magic treasures, but also promised that a powerful figure would be stationed there once the market city was completed, allowing them to rent shops and stalls to sell goods simply by paying spirit stones.

At this moment, the city gate of Tianfafang City is also under construction. The city walls on both sides of the city gate stretch for hundreds of miles across the two banks of the canyon. On the mountain opposite the city walls, nine waterfalls cascade down, which is quite magnificent!

The city wall has been built to a height of 1,000 zhang (approximately 33 meters), and according to the original plan, it is 1,000 zhang (approximately 33 meters) high. Only one-tenth of the wall has been completed so far.

The material used to build the city wall was a smelting material known for its hardness: tungsten-iron-cold stone.

These tungsten-iron cold stones were impurities removed by disciples of the Huangfu Shengzong Immortal Sect's artifact lineage, and then melted and solidified to a length of ten zhang, a thickness of three zhang, and a width of three zhang.

Then, Huangfu Shengzong was brought out, and the disciples who built the city gate first neatly stacked each piece of tungsten-iron cold stone, weighing millions of kilograms, into a city wall. Finally, the disciples of the artifact lineage fused the cut surfaces of each piece of tungsten-iron cold stone into one, which was considered the first step in casting the city wall.

The second step was to set up an array on the city wall to make it indestructible!

At this moment, tens of thousands of Longyun Sect disciples, dressed in fiery red robes with the words "Longyun" embroidered on their chests, were sweating profusely as they shouted and lifted a piece of tungsten-iron cold stone to build the city gate.

"call out!"

A beam of white light descended from the sky and transformed into Tan Yun in front of the city gate.

Tan Yun glanced at the city wall, frowned, and shouted to his disciples, "There's a problem with the city wall! Stop construction immediately!"
