The Sermon Ends! Sister Houtu Takes Me to Play at Her New Home!

When the steaming hot, red and white Mapo Tofu, its aroma taking on a tangible form and desperately penetrating every pore, hovered before Lin Shen.

The "Starry Sky Roasted Meat" in his hand suddenly didn't smell so appetizing anymore.

In his world, in his eyes, there was no room for any other color.

Only that one dish was left.

That plate of shimmering, glistening, slippery, wondrous things, like a Tai Chi Diagram, held endless mysteries.

"Gulp."

Lin Shen's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.

Without even glancing at it, he casually tossed the enormous piece of Starry Sky Roasted Meat onto the ground, his movements swift and decisive, as if he were discarding a bone he was tired of gnawing on.

Then, he stretched out his chubby little hands, still stained with barbecue oil, and with an unprecedentedly devout expression, scooped up a spoonful from the plate.

A spoonful, neither too big nor too small, contains just the right amount of creamy white "jelly" and is also covered with magma-like red "sauce".

All eyes are on us.

At this moment, all the Sage involuntarily held their breath.

He shakily put the spoonful into his open little mouth.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The next instant.

Boom--!!!

In Lin Shen's mind, it wasn't the explosion of billions of suns, but the re-establishment of the entire Chaos universe within the singularity!

A flavor storm, utterly indescribable, filled with extreme contradictions yet achieving perfect harmony, exploded on his tongue!

The first level is domineering!

A pungent aura, irrational and brooking no resistance, was clearly Master Tongtian's Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, tearing everything apart and rushing straight to the top of the head!

He felt as if every single ginseng root on his head was spewing divine fire!

The second layer is eeriness!

A numbing sensation, pervasive and omnipresent, was none other than Uncle Fuxi's Destiny Threads, instantly binding his entire mouth and causing him to lose control of his tongue!

His tongue no longer belonged to him; it had become a piece of something dancing wildly above the clouds!

He was on the verge of his Divine Soul being torn apart and destroyed by these two extreme stimuli.

The third layer, gentleness descends.

A warm and inclusive salty aroma quietly emerges from the vast and boundless embrace of the Sister Houtu.

Following closely behind is the purest sweet aroma of tofu itself, which is the Master Taiqing's Great Dao of Non-Action, tranquility and nature.

These two flavors act as the supreme mediators, gently smoothing out and tenderly embracing the domineering spiciness and the strange numbing sensation, ultimately transforming them perfectly!

Spicy, numbing, salty, fragrant, fresh, hot, tender, smooth...

Eight flavors!

Eight avenues!

Under the supreme will of the Yin Yang Reason Sage of "balance," a miraculous... Great Harmony was achieved within Lin Shen's small mouth!

Tasty!

No!

Those two words are an insult to this dish!

This is a completely new and revolutionary culinary experience that overturns our understanding of Lin Shen, a concept that has been passed down for millions of years!

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh!"

Lin Shen's eyes were wide open, and his little face was chubby, like a squirrel stuffing its mouth full of pine cones.

He wanted to praise, to shout, but found that he couldn't utter a single syllable.

At this moment, all language seems utterly inadequate.

He could only vent his surging, almost explosive emotions through his actions!

Spoon?

What is that?!

He threw down his spoon, grabbed the plate of Mapo Tofu that was bigger than his face, and buried his entire face in it without a care!

"Snoring... snoring..."

He made a satisfied and happy sound, like a small animal that had been starving for eight million years and had finally found the most precious delicacy.

On the platform, the Yin Yang Reason Sage watched this scene. Finally, a genuine, heartfelt smile of relief appeared on his face, which was half black and half white.

He knew.

I won my bet.

The composure and smugness on the face of the Qiankun Food Sage beside him had long since shattered into dust and scattered in the wind.

He stared blankly at the "Starry Sky Roasted Meat" that Lin Shen so heartlessly discarded, now lying on the ground covered in dust.

Then I looked at Lin Shen, who was holding a plate and eating with complete absorption.

For the first time, the Sage's Heart was shrouded in a shadow called "defeat".

His proudest creation, the "Grand Primordial Feast of the Primordial World," a culmination of countless ingredients from the primordial universe, actually...

Losing to a plate of tofu from the mortal world?

This is unreasonable!

This is not a proper digestive tract!

At this moment, even the slightest, almost imperceptible crack appeared in his esophageal world!

Hongjun Daozu looked at this amusing scene and shook his head with a smile.

He walked over to the little guy whose face was flushed red from eating, and said in a gentle voice, "Little Lin Shen, how about you give a score to Brother Yin Yang's sermon?"

Lin Shen laboriously lifted his head from the plate.

That fair and delicate little face had turned into a bright red mess, with a shiny ring around her mouth, making her look both comical and incredibly cute.

He thought about it carefully.

Then, it stretched out its two chubby little hands and two chubby little feet towards the Yin Yang Reason Sage, and finally, even the most precious emerald green ginseng leaf on its head pointed towards the Yin Yang Reason Sage.

"Ten thousand points! So many, many, many ten thousand points! The same as Brother Qiankun's!"

He paused, then shouted with all his might:

"One more leaf!"

The advantages of a single leaf!

This is the ultimate rating!

Yin Yang Reason Sage let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his Dao Heart, which was on the verge of collapse, become more complete than ever before at this moment.

With this, the Seven Sages preach the Dao together officially came to an end.

Taiqing, Tongtian, Nuwa, Fuxi, Qiankun, Yin Yang —these six Sages all earned Lin Shen's "high praise" through their respective great Daos.

Only Yuanshi Tianzun, with the sleeping white cat on his head, stood alone to the side.

The air around him seemed a bit colder than elsewhere, completely out of place with the joyful atmosphere.

That one point was so glaring, so tragic.

"Alright, now that the rehearsal is over, and everyone has gained something from it."

With a smile Hongjun Daozu waved his hand, dispersing the Dao platform constructed from the starlight.

"Three thousand years later, in the Zixiao Palace, the formal sermon will be held again."

"In these three thousand years, you must prepare yourselves well and thoroughly understand and apply what you have learned today."

"Yes, teacher."

The saints bowed in unison and agreed, then each transformed into a stream of light and returned to their respective temples, hurriedly going into seclusion to "prepare for lessons."

They knew in their hearts that the formal sermon three thousand years later would be the real "final exam".

Whoever can win the Little Ancestor's favor again in that great test will gain an absolute advantage in the future Primordial World Trend!

In the blink of an eye, only Hongjun, Lin Shen, and Houtu, who had been watching silently from beginning to end, remained Houtu Kunlun Mountain Peak.

Houtu looked at the little guy who was still struggling with a plate of tofu, sweating profusely as he ate. A gentle smile, which she herself did not realize, appeared in her eyes, which were as calm as the earth.

This little guy is really funny.

She moved gracefully and slowly walked to Lin Shen's side.

There was no discussion of the profound Dao, nor any inquiry into the deep mysteries.

She simply knelt down, took out a flawless white silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and gently wiped away the oil stains from Lin Shen's face, as if afraid of disturbing the butterflies among the flowers.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Her voice was gentle and mellow, carrying a reassuring power that went straight to the Divine Soul.

Lin Shen looked up at the incredibly beautiful older sister in front of him and felt as if he were being tightly hugged by the warmest and softest blanket, so comfortable that he wanted to roll around on the ground.

"Thank you, sister!" he said, his words slurred.

Houtu smiled and said nothing more, simply watching him eat with her gentle eyes.

Lin Sheng's talent for "All Things Affinity" was passively stimulated to its extreme at this moment.

He could clearly "feel" the warmth, inclusiveness, and compassion emanating from the woman in front of him, like that of Mother Earth.

This feeling made him feel genuinely close and at ease.

From Houtu's perspective, her eye contact with Lin Shen Can evoked a strange and unprecedented resonance.

The pure, primal Life Origin force Lin Shen perfectly harmonized with the Dao of Earth she cultivated, blending seamlessly together.

She felt that the barrier she had just broken through to the Mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm was showing signs of loosening again!

Houtu's heart was filled with shock, and the way she looked at Lin Shen was completely different.

This little one is her ultimate opportunity to attain the supreme Dao!

"Little Lin Shen," Houtu suppressed the turmoil in her heart and said softly in an increasingly gentle tone, "My sister's home is this Primordial Land. It's very big and very fun."

"Would you like to... go to your sister's house to play?"

"I'll take you to see the Breathing Mountains, Singing Rivers, okay?"

Lin Shen's eyes instantly lit up like two small suns.

"Breathing Mountains? Singing Rivers?"

He dropped the empty plate and hugged Houtu's arm, his little face filled with excitement and anticipation.

Really? Really?

"I want to go! I want to go right now!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Hongjun with his bright, watery eyes that no one could resist.

"Grandpa! Can Lin Shen go play with Sister Houtu?"
