The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Silly girl, since when did you start becoming distant with me?” Without giving her a chance to refuse, he stuffed the flying sword into Zhong Wushiyao’s hand and said sincerely, “Since you were 5 years old, you’ve followed me around like a shadow.” “Now in this world… I am your only family.” “If I’m not good to you, then who should I be good to?” Although Liu Rulong’s words sounded warm, in reality, giving the flying sword to Zhong Wushiyao had hidden intentions. Zhong Wushiyao pressed her lips...
A flash of white light appeared from Liu Rulong’s Qiankun Ring.
He took out a female-style flying sword and handed it to Zhong Wushiyao, saying with a faint smile,
“Wushiyao, this is a low-grade spirit weapon flying sword. I’ll give it to you for now. In the future, I’ll find a flying sword with a spatial attribute for you.”
Generally speaking,
magical weapons without any elemental attributes are called ordinary magical weapons.
An ordinary low-grade magical flying sword costs about 10 million low-grade spirit stones.
However, if it is a spatial-attribute flying sword,
even if it is only low-grade, the price would be at least 30 million low-grade spirit stones.
Before the trial began,
Liu Rulong used all of his savings to buy 2 ordinary low-grade spirit weapon flying swords.
He kept 1 for himself,
and the other 1 was intended for Zhong Wushiyao, the woman he had secretly admired for a long time.
A gentle breeze passed by,
causing Zhong Wushiyao’s hair to flutter softly.
She looked at the flying sword in Liu Rulong’s hand, then shook her head slightly and said gently,
“Senior Brother, this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it.”
Liu Rulong smiled indifferently.
“Wushiyao, just consider it a token of my goodwill. Please accept it.”
“Senior Brother, I know you care about me, but this item is truly too valuable. I cannot take it.”
Zhong Wushiyao politely refused.
“Besides… I have already bought a flying sword for myself.”
“You should keep this sword, Senior Brother. It would be better to give it to my future sister-in-law someday.”
Liu Rulong showed a slight look of displeasure.
“Silly girl, since when did you start becoming distant with me?”
Without giving her a chance to refuse, he stuffed the flying sword into Zhong Wushiyao’s hand and said sincerely,
“Since you were 5 years old, you’ve followed me around like a shadow.”
“Now in this world… I am your only family.”
“If I’m not good to you, then who should I be good to?”
Although Liu Rulong’s words sounded warm,
in reality, giving the flying sword to Zhong Wushiyao had hidden intentions.
He was captivated by her beauty.
If he truly cared about Zhong Wushiyao,
then when Murong Kun gave him 1 Soul-Binding Pill,
he would not have kept it for himself alone without even thinking of sharing it with her.
Since Liu Rulong had already gone this far,
Zhong Wushiyao could only give a faint smile.
“In that case… thank you, Senior Brother.”
She placed the flying sword into her Qiankun Ring.
Then she seemed to remember something. Her expression looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but was unsure.
“What is it?” Liu Rulong asked.
Zhong Wushiyao pressed her lips slightly before speaking hesitantly,
“Senior Brother… there’s something I’m not sure whether I should say.”
“In front of me, you can say whatever you want,” Liu Rulong said confidently.
After remaining silent for a moment,
Zhong Wushiyao frowned slightly before speaking slowly,
“Senior Brother… is there any possibility that the hatred between you and Tan Yun could come to an end?”
Liu Rulong clenched his fists tightly.
His handsome face twisted with anger.
“Impossible!”
he said decisively.
“He slaughtered everyone in my clan!”
“I will kill him… and wipe out the Tan Clan completely!”
He looked at Zhong Wushiyao before continuing,
“Wushiyao, I know that Tan Yun once saved your life.”
“I also know that although your words can be harsh, your heart is actually very kind.”
“Even though you say you’ve cut ties with him… deep down you still feel grateful to him.”
He spoke firmly,
“Between him and me… 1 of us must die.”
“This matter has nothing to do with you. Do not interfere.”
After hearing this,
Zhong Wushiyao wanted to say something.
But when she saw the killing intent in Liu Rulong’s eyes,
she ultimately chose to remain silent.
Liu Rulong took a deep breath.
Thinking about the next mission of searching for Tan Yun’s whereabouts, he said,
“Wushiyao, I will continue cultivating in seclusion from now on.”
“What about you?”
Zhong Wushiyao answered honestly,
“I will temporarily stop cultivating and go search for a Spatial Spirit Spring.”
Then she asked,
“By the way… earlier, the cold aura that came from my body—what kind of Sacred Body do you think it is?”
Liu Rulong asked curiously.
Zhong Wushiyao shook her head slightly before saying expectantly,
“I don’t know either.”
“I suppose we’ll have to wait until the trial ends and ask the sect elders to find out.”
“Mmm.” Liu Rulong nodded.
“In that case, while you go search for the spirit spring, be careful.”
“I’ll wait for you here.”
Zhong Wushiyao nodded lightly.
Suddenly,
a pure white flying sword shot out from her Qiankun Ring and hovered in front of her.
She stepped lightly onto the flying sword,
then controlled it as it flew down from the mountain peak, shooting across the vast sea of clouds.
After Zhong Wushiyao flew away from the mountain peak,
Liu Rulong stood there for a while longer.
Then he stepped onto his own flying sword
and flew toward the valley where Xue Ziyan was imprisoned.
Zhong Wushiyao had no idea that
Murong Kun had captured Xue Ziyan to use her as a hostage to force Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi to appear.
But Liu Rulong knew about this very well.
The reason he did not tell Zhong Wushiyao
was because he feared that
when the time came for him to kill Tan Yun,
Zhong Wushiyao might remember the life-saving favor from the past and interfere.
Near a forest of withered trees close to the valley,
50 disciples who were sitting cross-legged on the grass stood up simultaneously.
When they saw Liu Rulong land in front of them on his flying sword,
everyone cupped their fists in salute at the same time.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Liu!”
“No need for so many formalities.”
Liu Rulong spoke calmly before asking,
“Where is Senior Brother Murong?”
One disciple quickly replied while pointing toward a cave about 300 zhang away.
“Reporting to Senior Brother Liu, 1 hour ago Senior Brother Murong broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. He is currently cultivating in seclusion in that cave to refine Spirit Springs.”
“Mmm, I understand.”
Liu Rulong nodded and then casually asked,
“What kind of talent does Senior Brother Murong have?”
The disciple answered with admiration on his face,
“That is a top-tier talent!”
“Senior Brother Murong possesses both a Wind Nascent Soul and a Lightning Nascent Soul!”
Liu Rulong sighed in admiration.
“No wonder he is called Heaven’s Chosen.”
“Yes, indeed!”
The disciple nodded in agreement before asking curiously,
“What about you, Senior Brother Liu? What kind of soul do you have?”
Liu Rulong answered simply,
“Beast Soul.”
Just 3 words
were enough to make the 50 disciples freeze in place!
They had never imagined that
Liu Rulong himself was also someone favored by heaven, possessing a high-tier talent as well!
In an instant,
the way everyone looked at him changed to respect and awe.
Liu Rulong swept his gaze across the crowd with a proud expression.
Then he asked with hopeful eyes,
“Do any of you know where Tan Yun is?”
One disciple immediately answered,
“Reporting to Senior Brother Liu, there is still no news.”
“Moreover, Senior Brother Murong ordered that if 5 days pass and Tan Yun still cannot be found, Xue Ziyan will be killed.”
Liu Rulong nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
Then he looked deeper into the valley before saying,
“I will go into the valley to search for Spirit Springs.”
“If any of you receive news about Tan Yun, inform me immediately.”
“Yes, Senior Brother Liu!”
After everyone responded,
Liu Rulong stepped onto his flying sword and shot toward the depths of the valley.
While flying,
he released his spiritual sense to its maximum, covering an area within a radius of 50 li
to search for a Beast Spirit Spring.
It was widely known that
the stronger a cultivator’s soul was,
the more powerful their spiritual sense would become, and the wider the area it could cover.
Normally,
a Level 1 Nascent Soul Realm cultivator’s spiritual sense could cover a radius of 30 li.
Level 2: radius 50 li
Level 3: radius 70 li
Level 4: radius 90 li
Level 5: radius 120 li
Level 6: radius 150 li
Level 7: radius 180 li
Level 8: radius 210 li
Level 9: radius 240 li
And when reaching the perfect completion of the Nascent Soul Realm,
their spiritual sense could cover an area with a radius of 300 li!
From this it could clearly be seen that
even though Liu Rulong was only at Level 1 of the Nascent Soul Realm,
the strength of his soul
was actually comparable to a Level 2 cultivator!
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, 3 days had passed.
“Senior Brother, look what I brought back!”
Zhong Wushiyao’s voice sounded out with a smile.
She controlled her flying sword across the sea of clouds before landing on the mountain peak.
Yesterday,
she had gathered 3 mid-grade Beast Spirit Springs and 2 high-grade ones.
Then she flew back here day and night
intending to give these Beast Spirit Springs to Liu Rulong so he could refine them.
“Hm?”
“Senior Brother isn’t here?”
Zhong Wushiyao frowned slightly.
Suddenly,
her spiritual sense spread out from her body like an invisible current, covering the entire mountain peak.
After checking and discovering that Liu Rulong was not there,
she extended her spiritual sense down from the mountain peak.
Even though her spiritual sense covered the entire mountain,
which was tens of thousands of chi high,
she still could not find Liu Rulong’s shadow.
It should be known that
a height of 10,000 chi
is equivalent to about 60 li in vertical distance.
Which meant that
Zhong Wushiyao’s soul power… was even stronger than Liu Rulong’s!
