Against The Sky Supreme

The night sky was adorned with twinkling stars.

The bright moonlight enveloped the Meritorious Immortal Mountain, casting its glow on Shen Subing, who stood gracefully at the summit.

She seemed a bit distracted, standing there in a daze, not knowing what thoughts were crossing her mind.

Shen Suzhen walked out of the Meritorious Immortal Palace, her steps light and graceful.

Shen Subing suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes brimming with deep longing. "Sister, we are setting off tomorrow to the divine soul celestial palace. This journey will take more than a year, and I have a feeling that Master will definitely come to see me."

Shen Suzhen took Shen Subing's delicate hand and smiled, "I see that you are completely enchanted by your master."

"Sister, that’s not true!" Shen Subing pouted playfully, her stunning face blushing slightly under the moonlight.

Shen Suzhen observed Shen Subing’s expression and rolled her eyes. "Sister is not blind; how could I not see that you have fallen for your master?"

"Listen to your sister, when it comes to feelings, one must cut through the tangled mess swiftly. What’s there to be afraid of? If you like him, just tell him boldly the next time you see him."

"If he likes you, then you will be together willingly; if not, then you should give up early. Don’t let love torment you every day."

Upon hearing this, Shen Subing fell silent for a moment before a happy smile spread across her face. She pondered, "Sister, do you have someone you like?"

"I don’t have someone I like, but I do hate a man very much." Shen Suzhen's flawless face filled with a mix of shyness and anger. "Tan Yun took advantage of healing my injuries to misbehave with me. Sometimes, I really want to kill him!"

"Sister, Tan Yun is not that kind of person," Shen Subing immediately retorted.

"Hmph, now Tan Yun is your most outstanding disciple, so you only know how to protect him," Shen Suzhen pouted, and then added, "What’s wrong with me not having a man I like?"

Shen Subing’s eyes were filled with yearning and tenderness as she softly said, "Sister, love is truly wonderful. I like him; even if he doesn’t like me, as long as I can see him often, I feel very happy, not tormented as you say."

Shen Suzhen giggled, "Sister, you are infatuated. It’s said that women deeply embroiled in love tend to become less intelligent. It seems there's truth to it, and you are the perfect example."

Shen Suzhen's smile faded, and she said seriously, "Sister, I don’t understand love, but I only want you to be happy. If you bury your feelings for him deep inside and don’t get an answer from him, I’m afraid you will sink deeper and deeper, and then it will be hard for you to extricate yourself!"

Shen Subing took a deep breath, her tone firm. "I am his only disciple; he promised my father before he passed that he would take care of me."

"If I confess to him and he rejects me, I really won’t be able to face him in the future. Rather than that, I would rather silently like him forever, as long as I can stay by his side, I would be content…"

Just as the two sisters were having a heart-to-heart talk, Tan Yun, dressed in Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, excitedly landed on the golden dragon spirit lion!

The reason for his excitement was that the golden dragon spirit lion had progressed from the third stage of adulthood to the third stage tribulation period. Not only had its strength greatly increased, but its flying speed had also reached a million miles a day, rivaling the speed of a medium-grade sub-respect artifact Spirit Vessel.

Tan Yun had two purposes for visiting Shen Subing. First, he wanted to see if Elder De had found the ice and fire attribute fire seeds and the beast spirit for Mu Mengyi to cultivate, and whether those had been given to Shen Subing.

Second, he wanted to see his only disciple.

After a moment, Shen Suzhen looked at Shen Subing, who was filled with disappointment, and said, "Sister, it’s late; don’t wait any longer."
