Food Sage Expounds the Way of Food! Primordial World on the Tip of the Tongue!
"Junior brother, dinner's ready."
The Qiankun Food Sage's shout is both simple and bold.
The sound resonated throughout Lin Shen's entire world.
He stared blankly at the platform.
There, a dazzling array of dishes awaited.
It's a fragrance that rises straight up to the sky.
It was a "Grand Primordial Feast" where every dish shone with the radiance of laws.
For the first time, Lin Shen's little mind went completely blank.
Clatter
A soft sound.
The half-eaten candy slipped from his loosened hand.
That was "Natural Candy" personally refined by Laozi Taiqing the Chaos Qi.
At that moment, it fell to the ground, covered in dust.
Lin Shen was completely unaware.
The candy was no longer in his eyes.
Those big, dark eyes were filled with a primal light.
The name of that light is "Hunger".
I'm drooling uncontrollably.
The water trickled down his pink lips, quickly forming a clear little puddle at his feet.
Not far away, Taiqing Laozi witnessed this scene, and his Sage's Heart clenched painfully.
We lost.
His supreme candy, imbued with the philosophy of "Great Dao of Non-Action," actually lost to a table full of dishes?
On the platform, the Qiankun Food Sage, watched Lin Shen's dazed expression as he was completely conquered by the food, and his round, Saintly Body visibly straightened up a bit.
His face radiated the purest pride a chef feels when recognized by top diners.
It's safe!
He's definitely going to win this round!
"Junior brother, don't rush, let's take it one step at a time."
The Qiankun Food Sage rubbed his hands together and began his "sermon" in the professional tone of a top chef.
He pointed to the "Dragon Palace Sashimi Platter" made up of countless treasures from the East China Sea, his voice booming.
"This is an appetizer, and the emphasis is on 'original flavor'!"
"What is the original flavor? It is the purity of the Great Dao at its inception, before all things were tainted!"
He pointed, and a "Dragon Whisker Coral Chip" as thin as a cicada's wing automatically flew up and hovered in the air.
"Please look, everyone. This coral was born in the depths of the East Sea. It has absorbed the essence of water for millions of years, and what it contains is the purest 'Water Element Origin'."
"I use the Laws of Food to remove impurities and retain the essence. After consuming it, without needing to refine it, one can directly perceive the gentleness of water and the vastness of the sea!"
He waved his hand gently.
The sashimi platter instantly transformed into countless streams of light, flying precisely to the feet of every living being at the foot of the Kunlun Mountain.
Each ray of light is either a piece of coral crystal or a strand of Sea Anemone Silk.
At the foot of the mountain, countless creatures stared at the "appetizer" floating in front of them, gleaming with an enticing light, their faces filled with disbelief and skepticism.
Can you really attain enlightenment with just this little bit of knowledge?
A powerful Flood Dragon Great Demon who specialized in water-based techniques couldn't resist and opened its mouth wide to suck the coral crystal into its mouth.
The chip melts upon entering the mouth.
An intense sweetness, mixed with the purest ocean scent, exploded deep within his Divine Soul!
He did not exert any internal energy.
He didn't understand.
His body, his spirit, and his Dao, at this moment, voluntarily returned to the embrace of Mother Ocean!
Boom!
The Flood Dragon Great Demon's body trembled violently!
The bottleneck that had plagued him for eight thousand years shattered instantly under the cleansing force of this "original flavor"!
From the Early Taiyi Golden Immortal, directly advancing to the middle stage!
"I... I broke through?!" The Flood Dragon Great Demon was filled with disbelief.
"I didn't do anything, I just ate a bite of food... and I broke through?!"
His exclamation ignited the powder keg.
Without the slightest hesitation, all living beings swallowed the "sashimi" in front of them.
In an instant, the entire Kunlun Market was filled with the roar of magical power surging during a breakthrough in cultivation!
One after another!
"Heavens! My Water Repelling Art has reached its perfect state!"
"I have mastered the second level of my Wave Control Divine Ability!"
"This is no dish! This is a supreme divine pill!"
In the East Sea Dragon Palace, Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, was furious because his treasure trove had been looted. Suddenly, he sensed that the bloodlines of countless aquatic creatures were surging collectively in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, and even his dragon whiskers trembled in confusion.
What's going on?
Hearing a sermon can lead to a collective level-up?
On the platform, the Qiankun Food Sage, was fully aware of the situation, his smile undiminished.
He pointed to the pot of golden-red "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Soup," his voice growing louder.
"This is a soup, and its essence lies in 'fusion'!"
"Of the myriad spirit birds, each has its own path. I, the humble Daoist, have used the Solar True Fire to refine and blend all their myriad Dao principles into a single pot of soup!"
"With just one sip of this soup, one can experience the way of all birds and comprehend the wonder of 'unity and harmony'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thick soup transformed into billions of drops of golden broth, which once again fell precisely into the mouths of every living being.
Feng Xi Nest Volcano: The elders of the Phoenix Clan are preparing to form a group to go to Kunlun Mountain to demand an explanation.
Suddenly, they sensed that their proud phoenix bloodline resonated with the Daoist essence of countless birds in the world.
Their understanding of the concept of "flying" was instantly elevated to a new level.
"What kind of technique is this? It can actually fuse all the myriad paths into one furnace?" The Phoenix Clan Grand Elder was so shocked that he was speechless.
Suddenly, she felt that those hundred or so clansmen... perhaps... hadn't died in vain?
Finally, the Qiankun Food Sage's gaze fell upon the "Myriad Stars Array Roasted Whole Sheep".
His expression became solemn and dignified.
"This is the main course, and also the core of my path—'Transformation'!"
"The Myriad Stars Array hang high in the sky, cold and distant; this is the way of 'ruthlessness'."
"Roasted meat, sizzling with oil, exuding a rich aroma, warm and comforting—this is the way of 'compassion'."
"This humble Daoist intends to transform the 'ruthlessness' of the celestial bodies into the 'compassion' within the bellies of all living beings! To turn this lofty Great Dao into a warmth that you can touch!"
"This is my esophagus!"
He slammed his palm down on the giant "Starlight Roasted Lamb"!
The roasted lamb instantly disintegrated, transforming into billions of pieces of "Starry Sky Roasted Meat" that shimmered with starlight yet exuded a rich meaty aroma, flying towards all living beings!
In the Demon Race Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi felt that familiar Primordial Chaos Star Source, their faces contorted in extreme pain.
The demon race's protective formation was taken by someone... and used to make a dish?
However, when that aroma, a mixture of the vastness of the universe and the smoky scent of roasted meat, was transmitted through the water mirror...
Guh--
Their stomachs, to their dismay, growled at the same time.
Loud and clear.
And it's awkward.
Below the platform, Lin Shen had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
He held the largest piece of "Starry Sky Roasted Meat" and gnawed on it with his mouth full of oil.
The taste was indescribable.
With one bite, you're swallowing an entire starry sky.
The birth and death of billions of stars, the vastness of the universe, and the flow of time all transformed into the purest energy and the most exquisite flavor, exploding within his body.
He wasn't eating meat.
He's eating a universe.
"Delicious! So delicious!"
Lin Shen was so happy that he rolled around on the spot, unable to even speak clearly.
Bite!
A stick of incense burned out.
The sermon by the Qiankun Food Sage has concluded.
He looked at the forest ginseng rolling around on the ground, as happy as a 200-pound fat baby, and smiled honestly.
Hongjun Daozu stepped forward, looking at the mess on the ground and the group of creatures who were eating haphazardly and whose cultivation had skyrocketed, and he was both amused and exasperated.
He lowered his head and asked, "Little Lin Shen, how about giving Brother Qiankun a score?"
Lin Shen got up from the ground, his little face still covered in oil stains.
He thought for a moment, then, with utmost seriousness, stretched out his two small hands to the Qiankun Food Sage.
Ten fingers.
Then, he tried his best to stretch out his two little feet.
Ten toes again.
Finally, he even tried to stand up the emerald green ginseng leaf on his head as if it were his last finger.
"Ten thousand points! So many ten thousand points! That's one more leaf's worth than Uncle Fuxi's!"
He used every ounce of his body language to deliver an ultimate score that would leave even the most Sage breathless.
A despair rating that shattered the Daoist Dao Heart of Fuxi, the Painting Sage.
The Qiankun Food Sage smiled like a child who had won the whole world.
The next, and last, Yin Yang Reason Sage to preach, looked at this hellish start, and his already starkly black-and-white face completely lost its color.
How can you explain this?
He can't very well turn his own Yin Yang philosophy into a dish, can he?
Could it be... that I'm going to make a dish with distinct black and white colors... Mapo Tofu?
