Tongtian opened his mouth slightly and looked at Bu Fang, who had a few kitchen utensils floating around him. If he was not wrong, these kitchen utensils were the Divine Artifacts he had been looking for and wanting to obtain.
He could not believe that so many Divine Artifacts were gathered around one man. Staring at Bu Fang, who was in control of the Divine Artifacts, the Sect Leader took a deep breath.
The four Divine Artifacts suppressed the vast spiritual energy of the Ancestral Planet. Compared with the Primitive Universe, the Ancestral Planet might not be as vast, but it was the birthplace of many experts in the Primitive Universe and the birthplace of humanity.
It was because of the Ancestral Planet that humanity spread throughout all universes, that there were many experts in the Primitive Universe, and that there were Saints of the Great Path and Chaotic Saints. Therefore, the importance of the Ancestral Planet was self-evident.
However, these Divine Artifacts that were the keys to solve the secrets of Ancestral Planet’s spiritual energy had all fallen into Bu Fang’s hand, and they were all cooking utensils!
‘Is he really going to cook with the Ancestral Planet’s Divine Artifacts? Doesn’t he think it’s overkill?’ Tongtian thought to himself. ‘Although these Divine Artifacts look like cooking utensils, they are not necessarily cooking utensils…’
Of course, he could not stop Bu Fang.
Bu Fang began to prepare the Soul Demon meat. Perhaps Suiren’s words had made him comprehend something—the cooking of the dish went very well.
He did not choose to grill the meat. With everyone who had just tasted Suiren’s barbecue, it would be unwise for him to cook the same way again. So he chose another way.
The Soul Overlord meat was tough, but under Bu Fang’s profound knife technique, the meat separated from the scales easily. The tender meat had a strange grain and was emitting a unique black smoke.
Bu Fang did not like to cook with Soul Overlord meat, just as he did not like Soul Thirteen’s meat. But just because he did not like it did not mean he cannot cook it.
He activated the God of Cooking’s Eye. The meat was instantly covered with red dots in his eyes, and each angle seemed to be the best way for him to handle this piece of meat.
The kitchen knife flashed. With each cut he made, the seemingly soft but diamond-hard Soul Overlord meat separated like butter. His movements were light, but each stroke was full of power. Such knife technique alone was enough to shock the world.
After cutting the meat, Bu Fang lit the fire and began cooking. His cooking style was very primitive and simple. Suiren and Tongtian stood beside him, watching intently. The aroma of meat filled the air. It was a completely different aroma from that of barbecue.
After a long time, Bu Fang finished tossing the wok and poured the cooked meat onto a stone plate.
“Here, have a taste,” Bu Fang said, pushing the stone plate forward.
Tongtian was stunned, but he did not say anything. The aroma that filled the air tickled his taste buds. He knew that Bu Fang had a unique understanding of food.
Before this, whenever Bu Fang fought against those foreign Gods and Immortals, he would capture his opponents’ mounts and cook them into delicacies. That was why the Sect Leader was not too surprised when Bu Fang showed off his cooking skills here.
“It smells good.” Tongtian took a deep breath. Although the aroma of the meat was very different from that of barbecue, they both whetted his appetite.
“Try it,” Bu Fang said to Tongtian. Then, looking earnestly at Suiren, he said, “Senior, please give it a taste.”
They sat around the fire. The Sect Leader did not stand on ceremony with Bu Fang. He rolled up his sleeve, picked up a piece of tender meat with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth. The meat melted as soon as it entered his mouth, like ice on a snowy mountain that had touched a warm fire.
“This… This is delicious!”
Tongtian’s pupils constricted. Barbecue was about the most primitive taste, and it brought him the most primal excitement about food from the depths of his soul. Bu Fang’s dish was different. It was an exquisite cuisine. His handling of the ingredient was almost perfect, and he did every step of the cooking process just right.
The Sect Leader was completely absorbed in the flavor of the food.
Suiren smiled as he watched Tongtian’s reaction. He seemed to enjoy smiling very much. Then, he took a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He chewed slowly, with no change of expression on his face. Finally, he nodded.
“I finally got to eat something different. I knew you could do it right from the start. You didn’t let me down,” Suiren said emotionally.
Looking at Bu Fang’s divine fire, he raised his hand, took out a slender wooden stick, and stuck it into the campfire. The fire pulsated slightly, and the stick jumped violently. Suddenly, the flame dwindled and gathered at the end of the stick, turning into a swaying little flame. It looked tiny, but it burned so bright that nothing seemed to be able to extinguish it.
“This is the gift I promised to give you…” Suiren smiled, then handed the wooden stick to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang subconsciously reached out a hand to take it. Suddenly, the divine flame in him rushed out, wheeled around him like a fire dragon, and merged with the tiny flame. In just the blink of an eye, the red flame became the core of the silver flame, and it looked very beautiful.
“This…”
Bu Fang could feel that the power of the divine fire had increased significantly, causing him to be somewhat shocked. Before this, the divine fire that had fused with three thousand Laws still contained some impurities, but after merging with this primordial fire of mankind, it finally had its soul. It woke up like the Artifact Spirits of the God of Cooking Sets.
“Thank you, Senior…”
Bu Fang knew it was a gift from Suiren. He had not expected to find such a fortune here.
Suiren smiled and nodded. He had more to say, but he was not in a hurry to say it.
On the other side, after eating Bu Fang’s dish, Tongtian sat down cross-legged. His eyes were closed, and his hair and beard were fluttering. The green sword emerged and floated above his head, from which chains of light fell to surround him.
“He’s on his way to enlightenment…” Suiren said, looking at the Sect Leader, who was acting strangely.
Bu Fang put the fire away, then put his hands behind his back and looked at Tongtian, whose aura was beginning to rise.
Tongtian was already a Saint-to-be. Although he was not a Saint of the Great Path, his fighting prowess was actually stronger than the average Saints. Now, after eating Suiren’s barbecue and Bu Fang’s dish, he was about to break through and become a Saint!
His eyes were closed, while the void behind him had turned into a vast sea of stars. It was very difficult to become a Saint of the Great Path. It required not only the accumulation of energy but also merit and virtue. Even Tongtian himself never thought he would break through here!
As his aura fluctuated violently, the whole world trembled. Suiren stroked his beard, smiled gently, and waved his hand. The Sect Leader vanished from the cave immediately and reappeared outside the Earth’s atmosphere.
He floated there, his eyes closed as he felt the energy boiling inside him. Silently, three flowers of the Great Path emerged above his head, emitting the energies of the five elements, while one lightning bolt after another appeared around him, constantly striking his body and impacting his flesh.
While all this was happening, Tongtian was chanting under his breath, comprehending the Great Path that belonged to him.
As the Sect Leader was breaking through to become a Saint of the Great Path, various changes took place on Earth. The sad atmosphere that filled the air because of the disintegration of God’s body was swept away in an instant. For a moment, flowers all over the world were blooming, while the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was boiling.
On the Immortal Island of Penglai, bells rang through the clouds. Countless Immortals looked excited as they knelt on the ground and bowed toward the sky. Meanwhile, the Immortals at the Immortal Mountain of Kunlun were sitting on the ground and looking respectfully toward the sky.
Riding on her phoenix, the Queen Mother’s face became very complicated. In the end, she chose to offer her congratulations. She recognized the changes all over the world, so she knew that Tongtian had become a Saint of the Great Path!
“Is the Ancestral Planet really a holy place for people to become Saints? Or is it because Tongtian had stumbled upon some fortune? Had he finally uncovered the Ancestral Planet’s secrets?” The Queen Mother was filled with mixed emotions. “Before he even broke through, he could already take on Saints… Now that he had broken through, he might become one of the most ferocious Saints ever…”
In any case, it was something to be congratulated on.
While all the Immortals on Earth were bowing to the sky, the Sect Leader’s body became stronger and stronger after the baptism of thousands of tribulations and the washing of the three flowers and the energies of the five elements.
Finally, a ray of light came down and shone on him, turning his body incomparably enormous. He looked like a supreme being who emerged from the depths of the universe now, just like how God had looked when he appeared.
“He did it.” Suiren put his hands behind his back and smiled.
Bu Fang stood at Suiren’s side and nodded.
Tongtian’s foundation was already sufficient. He just lacked an opportunity, and the food cooked by Bu Fang and Suiren had become that opportunity, allowing him to break through at this moment and become a Saint of the Great Path.
From this moment on, there was one more Saint in Hua, and his strength was so fearsome that he could stand the test even more than God. Before breaking through, the Sect Leader’s fighting prowess was already comparable to that of a true Saint, and now he was far stronger than most of the Saints, standing at the peak of the realm.
He flew toward the cave. The ring of light behind his head became completely solid, representing the powerful energy of the five elements. At the same time, the green sword was suspended above his head, emitting a dazzling light.
“Many thanks to the Emperor of Man,” Tongtian said to Suiren with a smile as he clasped his fist.
Being able to become a Saint of the Great Path on the Ancestral Planet meant a lot to him. The Ancestral Planet was his birthplace, so breaking through here made his foundation solid, and because of that, he was much stronger than those experts who became Saints in the Primitive Universe.
“Thank you very much.” He then turned to Bu Fang and nodded. Tongtian was a straightforward man, quick to hate and quick to love. Bu Fang’s dish had allowed him to make a breakthrough, so he felt he owed him a favor. At least he was not calling him an evil man anymore.
‘Perhaps it is only in his hands that these Divine Artifacts can exert their true power,’ he thought to himself.
Tongtian’s temperament changed markedly after he became a Saint of the Great Path. His whole body emanated a dazzling light and was indestructible now, and he had also jumped out of Earth’s confines.
Sitting cross-legged on a green lotus flower, he looked at Bu Fang and Suiren who were standing in the cave. When his eyes swept over the dark cave behind them, however, his joy at becoming a Saint suddenly vanished. His pupils constricted, and a grim expression took over his face.
Suiren saw the change in Tongtian’s expression. He stroked his beard and said, “Sure enough, when you become a Saint, you jump out of the confines and can see more clearly… You should have noticed that too, right?”
The Sect Leader looked into the dark cave and saw a cloud of demonic energy trying to escape from it as if some great demon was hiding in it. And when he looked further inside, he was even more startled.
In the depths of the cave were two mighty figures who sat cross-legged on the ground, and they were emitting a powerful aura to suppress the cave, preventing the monstrous demonic energy from crossing over the line.
Bu Fang was a little confused. He did not know what Tongtian and Suiren were talking about.
“Do you know why I sent down lightning punishment to warn you whenever you cooked?” Instead of explaining to Tongtian, Suiren looked at Bu Fang.
“Why?” This was the question that had always been in Bu Fang’s mind.
“Because on the Ancestral Planet, your dishes will reveal your aura and expose you to the prying eyes of the enemy…”
Bu Fang was stunned for a moment. His cooking would expose him to the prying eyes of the enemy? “Why?” he asked, once again puzzled.
Suiren looked at him strangely. “Why? Because you’re no ordinary chef…”
