The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
He placed both hands on Mu Mengyi’s fragrant shoulders, smiled faintly, and said, “Silly girl, don’t worry.” “I’ve already reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Embryo Realm.” “At the same level, almost no one can defeat me.” “You should go into secluded cultivation and wait for me to return.” “By then, you should have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.” “When I try to break through that realm, I’ll still need you to guard me.” Even after hearing this, Mu Mengyi still felt un...
The 9 men looked dazed for a moment before answering truthfully.
“Xue Ziyan is currently being held 100,000 li to the east, at Drywood Mountain Stream.”
“Murong Kun is still at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Embryo Realm.”
“He originally had 723 subordinates. 1 month ago, after capturing Xue Ziyan, he sent 500 people to hunt you down. Right now, he still has 223 people by his side.”
After hearing this,
Tan Yun turned to look at Mu Mengyi, his gaze resolute.
“Mengyi, I’m going to rescue Ziyan.”
“You go back to the previous place and wait for me to return after I save her.”
Mu Mengyi immediately shook her head, her eyes filled with worry.
“No. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone. I’m worried about you.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“SWOOSH!”
Tan Yun jumped down from the spirit boat,
landing on the back of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion.
He placed both hands on Mu Mengyi’s fragrant shoulders, smiled faintly, and said,
“Silly girl, don’t worry.”
“I’ve already reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Embryo Realm.”
“At the same level, almost no one can defeat me.”
“You should go into secluded cultivation and wait for me to return.”
“By then, you should have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“When I try to break through that realm, I’ll still need you to guard me.”
Even after hearing this,
Mu Mengyi still felt uneasy.
She said worriedly,
“Tan Yun, 48 days have already passed since the trial began.”
“It will take you 7 days just to travel there.”
“That’s almost 2 months already, not even counting the 5 days it will take to return.”
“If Murong Kun and his group chose to rush their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm from the very beginning of the trial…”
“Then by the time you arrive, there’s a very high chance they will have already succeeded!”
She stared at him nervously.
“And then… what will you do?!”
Tan Yun understood exactly what she was worried about.
But right now,
Xue Ziyan’s life was hanging by a thread.
He had to go save her!
In order not to make Mu Mengyi worry,
and to keep her from risking danger with him,
Tan Yun deliberately pretended to be relaxed.
Then he said confidently,
“Silly girl, under normal circumstances,”
“a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Embryo Realm needs 3 months to condense the first Nascent Soul.”
“Even if Murong Kun is a genius, he would still need at least 2 months.”
“Even if he really manages to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm within 2 months…”
“I would still have 5 days to rescue Ziyan.”
“5 days is more than enough. Nothing will go wrong.”
Hearing Tan Yun’s confident tone,
Mu Mengyi blinked her moist, bright eyes and said,
“You must not lie to me.”
“Otherwise, I’ll never speak to you again.”
Tan Yun chuckled softly.
“I’m not lying to you.”
“I will definitely bring Ziyan back safely.”
“I’ll take their spirit boat and head to Drywood Mountain Stream.”
“Let Da Hei stay with you.”
“If something unexpected happens, it can still take you away to escape.”
Mu Mengyi shook her head.
“No, let Da Hei stay with you.”
“I can take care of myself.”
Seeing that Tan Yun was about to object,
she quickly added,
“That’s final. Otherwise I won’t feel at ease.”
Tan Yun nodded.
“Alright. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back.”
“Mm.”
Mu Mengyi smiled sweetly,
then rested in Tan Yun’s arms for a moment.
After that,
she insisted on walking back by herself.
So Tan Yun rode the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion down to the ground.
Mu Mengyi turned and walked away.
Not long after,
the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion carried Tan Yun into the sky.
After Tan Yun boarded the spirit boat,
he stored the lion inside his Spirit Beast Bag.
Then
he released the Hongmeng Divine Eyes control on the 9 men
and said coldly,
“Take me to Drywood Mountain Stream.”
“When we meet Murong Kun, tell him…”
“you only found me, but not Mengyi.”
“Understood?”
The 9 men, who still could not move properly, immediately replied,
“Understood! Understood!”
Tan Yun flicked his fingers,
sending 9 streams of spiritual power into their bodies.
Their bodies immediately regained the ability to move.
Then
Tan Yun bent down,
removed the Cosmos Ring from the unconscious Zheng Yue’s finger,
and casually threw his body off the spirit boat.
“ROAR!”
“CRACK!”
Before Zheng Yue’s body even hit the ground,
a Two-Tailed Spirit Leopard
leapt out from the Sunset Forest.
It caught Zheng Yue’s body in its mouth,
bit his spine in half,
and then swallowed the entire body in one bite!
The 9 men on the spirit boat trembled.
None of them dared to meet Tan Yun’s eyes.
Tan Yun said calmly,
“If Murong Kun asks about the cause of his death…”
“You know what to say, right?”
The 9 men immediately replied together,
“We will say that Senior Brother Zheng was killed by a demonic beast!”
Tan Yun nodded.
“Good… very good.”
Then his gaze shifted toward the Cosmos Rings on the fingers of the 9 men.
“Do I need to take them myself?”
The 9 men immediately removed their rings.
“No! No need! Senior Brother Tan, please calm down!”
They respectfully handed over their Cosmos Rings.
After taking them,
Tan Yun said coldly,
“When we get close to Drywood Mountain Stream…”
“remember to wake me.”
“Until then, you are not allowed to say a single word.”
“Understood?”
“Understood! Understood!”
The 9 men, enduring the pain of losing their ears and having their manhood destroyed,
bowed respectfully.
Then they controlled the spirit boat
and headed toward the eastern horizon.
At that moment,
Tan Yun slowly closed his eyes.
Then he began circulating the technique—
“Primordial Qi Condensation Art!”
Tan Yun sat cross-legged on the spirit boat,
his hands forming seals in front of his chest.
He frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth,
as if he were racing against time.
Tan Yun had great pride in himself.
He believed that among cultivators at the same realm,
almost no one could defeat him.
But if he had to face a cultivator at Nascent Soul Realm Level 1,
his chance of survival would be barely 1 in 10.
He also knew very well that
in the Outer Sect Market,
there was no such thing as a Soul-Binding Pill for sale.
And it was almost impossible for other disciples to obtain it.
But…
The great-grandfather of Linghu Changkong
was the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Lineage of the Inner Sect.
Meanwhile,
the grandfather of Murong Kun
was the 2nd Elder of the Demonic Spirit Lineage of the Inner Sect.
Therefore,
it was very likely that
Linghu Changkong and Murong Kun
had received Nascent Soul Pills from their elders!
If both of them obtained Nascent Soul Pills
and combined that with their talent,
it was entirely possible that
they could condense their Nascent Soul
and break through to Nascent Soul Realm Level 1
in less than 2 months.
The Nascent Soul Pill
was an extremely expensive pill
and was highly sought after among Inner Sect disciples.
It was listed as 1 of the 3 essential resources
for cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm.
The other 2 were:
Spirit Gathering Pills
and Spirit Springs.
The Spirit Gathering Pill
could increase the speed at which a cultivator absorbed and circulated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth,
allowing them to recover spiritual power quickly
after using their energy within the spirit pool.
As for the Spirit Spring,
if a cultivator could fuse with a Spirit Spring compatible with their Nascent Soul,
it would greatly increase their cultivation speed.
However,
even without a Spirit Spring,
other types of pills could still be used as substitutes.
As for the
Nascent Soul Pill,
its function was simple—
to increase the speed of condensing the Nascent Soul!
Therefore,
the thing Tan Yun worried about the most
was that Murong Kun might have received a Nascent Soul Pill from his grandfather!
“Even if it’s a dragon’s cave or a tiger’s den…”
“I will still rescue Ziyan!”
Tan Yun’s eyes turned icy cold.
His determination
was as hard as steel.
While cultivating,
he secretly released his spiritual sense
to quietly monitor the movements of the 9 men.
3 days later
inside a deep valley,
there was a primordial forest covering several square li.
However,
at this moment,
all the leaves had fallen.
Every tree in the forest had withered.
Not even a single blade of grass could grow.
The entire forest
was filled with a deathly silence like a graveyard.
And waves of scorching heat
rose from the ground,
as if
a volcano was hidden beneath the earth
of this withered forest!
However,
the mountains and valleys surrounding it
were completely different.
They looked as if it were spring all year round.
Hundreds of flowers bloomed in competition.
The trees were lush and green,
full of life.
A mountain stream
flowed through the withered forest.
But the moment the water entered the forest,
it turned into boiling steam instantly!
Fish that swam into the area
were terrified—
before being boiled alive immediately!
At that moment,
Xue Ziyan,
wearing a purple dress,
lay weakly beside the stream in the withered forest.
The scorching heat rising from the ground
soaked her body with fragrant sweat.
Her face was pale,
and she had almost no strength left.
Outside the forest,
among fields of blooming flowers and grass,
there were more than 200 male and female disciples.
All of them were at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Embryo Realm.
They sat cross-legged,
calmly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
At that moment,
a male disciple with crafty eyes
stared at Xue Ziyan
and chuckled softly.
“Junior Sister Xue…”
“If you let me enjoy you 1 time…”
“I’ll drag you out of there. How about it?”
He narrowed his eyes lewdly.
“Otherwise, a beauty like you…”
“once your spiritual power runs out…”
“you’ll be roasted alive here soon!”
His words caused several male disciples to burst into laughter.
“Wow, looks like Junior Brother Zhou Tong is quite merciful to women! Hahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
Xue Ziyan clenched her teeth,
staring at them with hatred in her eyes.
“Spit!”
“You shameless bastards!”
“If you have the ability, then kill me!”
“I won’t even blink!”
In her heart,
she had long since stopped caring about life or death.
What she feared most
was that Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi would come to save her
and end up falling into mortal danger themselves!
