A Bloody Incident Caused by a Single Candy

"Click, click..."

At the Kunlun Mountain Peak, the crisp sound of chewing became the only sound in the world.

Lin Shen hugged the strawberry Hard Candy, which was bigger than his head, and happily munched on it.

With each bite, an intensely pure "Sweetness Law" and "Strawberry Dao Rhyme" exploded in his mouth, sliding down his throat and into his stomach.

That power was both gentle and domineering.

It did not transform into any magical power, but instead began to nourish and reshape Lin Shen's already perfect Dao body.

Let every cell in his body begin to exude a sweet strawberry scent.

"Mmm... delicious..."

Lin Shen squinted his eyes happily, like a kitten basking in the sun with its paws tucked in.

The expressions of the top figures from the primordial Primordial World surrounding him were all contorted with rage.

Hongjun Daozu, the being who merged with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, was staring intently at Lin Shen's puffed-out cheeks with his eyes that could see through eternity.

His divine sense, like the finest spider silk, probed into Lin Shen's body, tracing the flow of that "Strawberry Dao Rhyme".

What he sensed was not simply energy.

That's a "concept"!

An irrefutable, ultimate concept that "Stone is Sugar"!

This conceptual power entered Lin Shen's body, but instead of causing any rejection, it was like a perfect puzzle piece, instantly merging with Lin Shen's own Origin Qi.

His foundation, therefore, became even more... incomprehensible.

"This... this kind of talent..."

Hongjun's Dao Heart, which had long been one with the Heavenly Dao and was indestructible through countless eons, trembled violently at this moment.

For the first time, he felt a profound awe and a hint of... fear towards the word "Great Dao".

This little guy is no longer displaying supernatural powers.

He's manipulating "reality"!

The Three Pure Ones' reaction was even more direct.

"My Beloved Disciple, come here, let your Third Master take a look, are your teeth broken?"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu squatted in front of Lin Shen, his face full of a nervous yet obsequious smile.

As he spoke, he tentatively reached out, wanting to "temporarily keep" the huge candy from Lin Shen's hand.

This is the first "work" created by the "Will of the Great Dao" directly distorting the rules of reality!

Its research value far exceeds that of Innate Supreme Treasure!

If they could decipher even the slightest of its mysteries, it would bring immeasurable benefits to their spiritual path!

"Don't want!"

Lin Shen immediately clutched the candy tightly to his chest, protesting indistinctly, "This is Lin Shen's! Third Master, don't you dare take it!"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu's hand froze awkwardly in mid-air.

"Nonsense!"

The cold voice of the Yuanshi Tianzun rang out. He stepped forward, his face solemn and unchanging for millennia.

"Lin Shen, this thing is of unknown origin and should not be consumed in large quantities! I will keep it for you and return it to you after I have verified its authenticity!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun spoke with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring conviction.

He reached out his hand, and a gentle, Jade Purity Immortal Light was about to envelop the strawberry candy.

His scheme was exactly the same as Tongtian's.

These supreme treasures must be obtained and studied day and night!

"Second Master is a bad person too!"

When Lin Shen saw that Yuanshi was also trying to snatch his candy, his little mouth pouted, and golden tears were about to well up and flood Kunlun Mountain again.

"Stop arguing."

Just then, Taiqing Laozi walked up with a smile.

He took out a small, crystal-clear white jade bowl from his pocket and handed it to Lin Shen.

"My Beloved Disciple, this candy is too big; you can't finish it all by yourself."

"How about I break it into small pieces for you, and we can all try it together, okay?"

Taiqing Laozi were patient, skillful, and reasonable.

It neither forcibly took anything nor failed to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

Tongtian and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of annoyance in each other's eyes.

Why didn't you think of this method? Big Brother is so cunning!

Lin Shen at the huge candy in his arms, then at the pretty little bowl in his First Master's hand, tilted his head and thought for a moment.

It seems... a bit big.

Moreover, good things should be shared with everyone; that's what teachers teach.

"Oh well."

Lin Shen finally nodded, and reluctantly handed the giant strawberry candy to Taiqing Laozi.

Taiqing Laozi took the candy, his face crinkling into a smile like a chrysanthemum.

He held the candy in his palm as if it were a treasure, and his divine sense instantly surged into it, frantically analyzing the terrifying Daoist aura that distorted reality within it.

"Cough cough!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun beside him coughed emphatically, his sharp eyes reminding him not to eat alone.

The Tongtian Jiaozhu was even more direct, rubbing his hands together as he leaned in. "Big brother, stop looking, hurry up and knock! I'm so hungry!"

Even Hongjun, Nuwa, Fuxi, who had always maintained their aloof demeanor, quietly gathered around.

Their eyes held an irrepressible curiosity and longing.

Taiqing Laozi then reluctantly withdrew his divine sense.

He placed the candy on the ground and offered it as a sacrifice to his most treasured possession— the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

"Big brother! What are you doing!" Tongtian exclaimed in surprise. "You're using this thing to smash it? How can there be any crumbs left?"

"It's alright." Taiqing Laozi smiled confidently.

He released a slight burst of magical power, and the pagoda trembled gently. The base of the pagoda, facing the strawberry candy, gently fell down.

"Bite--"

A pleasant, soft sound.

The strawberry candy actually split in the middle, breaking into more than a dozen small, evenly sized pieces that shimmered with a pinkish glow.

Each piece of candy exudes a sweet and intoxicating aroma.

"Come, come, come! Everyone who sees this gets a share! Everyone who sees this gets a share!"

With a wave of his hand, Taiqing Laozi sent several pieces of candy flying towards Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Hongjun.

He kept a piece for himself and gave the largest piece to Lin Shen.

"My Beloved Disciple, this one is small and easy to carry."

Lin Shen happily took the small candy and continued to crunch it up.

Meanwhile, the top figures of the Primordial World each held their small piece of candy, their expressions solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

They didn't eat.

Instead, they immersed themselves entirely in it, sensing that unprecedented "Conceptual Dao Rhyme".

"This isn't a rule, it's... a set of regulations!"

Fuxi was the first to cry out in alarm. The River Diagram and Luo Script in his hands were flashing wildly, and the Hexagrams on them were completely in chaos.

He discovered that the "rules" contained in this candy could not be analyzed using any of the deductive methods he knew!

"Forced definition... centering on 'I,' reshaping the principles of all things... Could this... could this be the legendary 'Myriad Dao of Self the Sovereign' used by the Pangu Father God when World Creation?!"

The voice of the Yuanshi Tianzun was filled with uncontrollable shock and fervor.

Through this small piece of candy, he seemed to see another path leading to the highest realm, a path even more domineering and fundamental than his own Chan Sect's Great Way!

The Tongtian Jiaozhu said nothing.

He closed his eyes and gently sniffed the candy.

In the sweet aroma of strawberries, he detected a hint of... the "Sword Intent of Termination," a intent that severs all cause and effect, and cuts off the end of all things?

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with horror.

Is it possible that the end of this "deliciousness" is "destruction"?

Just as everyone was gaining their own insights and their minds were filled with excitement.

A figure peeked out furtively from the corner.

He is the Qiankun Food Sage!

He watched as the bigwigs each held a piece of candy, their expressions one of utter rapture, as if they had attained enlightenment.

He glanced at the ground again, where a few tiny sugar crumbs, smaller than grains of rice, had been accidentally flung away when Taiqing Laozi struck the ground.

The Qiankun Food Sage's eyes instantly turned red!

His Dao Heart, that of a "culinary saint," suffered a devastating provocation at this moment!

Why should I?!

Why do you all get to eat candy?!

Laozi was, after all, a Sage! And the first one to pass the test based on his own ability!

Not even a crumb of candy?

Do you look down on my Qiankun, or on my path as the "Sage of Food"?

An overwhelming surge of grief, indignation, and humiliation overwhelmed his reason.

The Qiankun Food Sage gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

He did something that left all the Sage speechless.

He swayed and charged straight at the few sugar crumbs that had fallen to the ground.

Then, before anyone could react, a hungry tiger pounced on its prey and crouched down on the ground.

He stuck out his tongue and licked those few sugar crumbs like crazy!

"Ugh!!"

The moment the sugar residue, imbued with the "Conceptual Dao Rhyme," melted on his tongue...

The Qiankun Food Sage felt an indescribable, supreme deliciousness, mixed with terrifying rules that distorted reality, explode deep within his Divine Soul!

His Sage Dao Body couldn't hold on any longer!

"Boom--"

An aura of the "Great Dao of Food," ten times stronger than when he first attained enlightenment, erupted uncontrollably from his body!

The enormous Qiankun Cauldron behind him reappeared!

The two characters "Open for Meal" on the cauldron shone brightly, almost blinding the saints!

This time, however, what rose from the cauldron was no longer cooking smoke.

Instead, they are billions of pots and pans formed from the pure "Laws of Food"?!

The entire Kunlun Mountain were once again enveloped in an irresistible aroma of food!

The Qiankun Food Sage, a Sage who has just attained enlightenment.

Just because he licked a few sugar crumbs.

His cultivation level... broke through again on the spot?!
