Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

"Woof woof woof." Upon receiving the order, the Kirin Ancestor immediately ran to the kitchen, a large basin in its mouth.

Seeing his father about to butcher a cow, the Jade Emperor, who had just finished his tasks, also followed.

Yang Jian followed as well.

Zhang Yifan's movements were leisurely and graceful. With a gentle poke of his bamboo knife, he pierced the Green Ox's neck.

Immediately, Zhang Yifan's arm moved, and he circled the Green Ox. His movements were fluid and natural, the bamboo knife never leaving the ox's body.

The Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, the Kirin Ancestor, the big black dog, and the Golden Crow all watched Zhang Yifan butcher the ox.

The more they watched, the more shocked and awestruck they became!

As Zhang Yifan butchered the ox, each move and stance actually contained the True Meaning of the Great Dao!

This method of butchering seemed like a supreme cultivation technique from the Great Dao Realm Saber Dao, as if a single strike could obliterate the Heavenly Dao, a single strike could destroy the entire Primordial Era, and a single strike could create a world!

Just a glance sent the vast and powerful Great Dao Saber Intent crashing towards them. They felt as helpless as a tiny boat facing a monstrous tsunami, utterly terrified.

Facing this vast, ancient, desolate, and world-conquering saber intent, the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, the Kirin Ancestor, and the Golden Crow all felt their scalps tingle involuntarily. Their minds trembled, and their primordial spirits felt as if they were being sucked in, as if death were imminent.

"Don't look!"

The Kirin Ancestor whispered a low command and quickly lowered its dog head!

The Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, and the Golden Crow were greatly shaken. They quickly closed their eyes and lowered their heads!

It was too terrifying.

It was too frightening!

Butchering an ox felt like butchering the Heavenly Dao!

"Done!"

A moment later, the bamboo knife was withdrawn, its blade unstained by blood. Zhang Yifan wiped the sweat from his forehead, a smile on his face.

Done?

The Green Ox that had just been "butchered" was stunned.

Am I dead?

No.

The Green Ox looked down at its own body and found it was still alive.

It even took a few steps back and forth, confirming it was unharmed. The Green Ox was overjoyed.

And it felt incredibly good just now.

An unprecedented sense of ease.

I wasn't butchered at all; I was just getting a massage!

"I thought I was going to die. Thankfully, thankfully. That scared me to death."

The Green Ox thought fiercely, "When I get out of this, I'll make Lao Jun burn this place to the ground and kill everyone here."

"Hahaha, ha, ha, uh..."

The Green Ox laughed heartily in its mind, but as it laughed, the sound faded away.

The Green Ox scattered into pieces on the spot, its flesh, bones, hide, and blood separating.

"Father, you're too amazing! Compared to you, Zhuangzi's Butcher is just showing off in front of an expert."

The Jade Emperor couldn't help but exclaim, secretly sighing in relief. He had been too scared just now.

"That's right, Grandfather. This is incredible! You butchered the ox, and it thought it was still alive, even walking around!"

"Exactly, exactly. This ox felt no pain at all; it even looked like it was enjoying itself. This is truly a divine technique! Even gods can't do this. It's simply marvelous."

Yang Jian and the Jade Emperor took turns showering him with praise.

"Of course. Your father, your grandfather, I am second to none in the world when it comes to culinary skills."

Zhang Yifan laughed heartily, "Don't just stand there watching. Hurry up and pack this beef and bring it into the kitchen."

"Yes, Father!"

"Yes, Grandfather!"

The Jade Emperor and Yang Jian immediately sprang into action, trotting along.

Their thoughts were simple: they absolutely had to ask Zhang Yifan to teach them cultivation methods next time.

Why learn obscure Daoist arts when you have the techniques of the Great Dao Realm right in front of you? Isn't that ridiculous?

Although the three of them didn't cultivate the saber path, their understanding of the Great Dao Laws of the saber path had reached an extraordinary level by watching Zhang Yifan butcher the ox. Despite their fear and near-death experience from the Great Dao Saber Intent, their gains were immeasurable.

The top saber path cultivators in the Primordial Era were likely far inferior to the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian.

Evening.

Zhang Yifan cooked several large tables of dishes, prepared dozens of jars of fine wine, and boiled a large pot of rice.

The aroma of the food had long since wafted into the noses of the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, Star Lord Wugu, and others, stimulating their hunger.

The heavenly gods like Yuan Hong and Star Lord Wugu drooled as they worked.

Their drool flowed like tap water!

They looked as unsightly as one could be, but Yuan Hong and the others didn't mock each other. Instead, they were filled with anticipation.

"Alright, my fellow construction brothers, let's eat first."

Zhang Yifan served the wine and dishes and called Yuan Hong and the others to eat.

"Everyone, come here."

The Jade Emperor also gave them an order.

"Yes."

Everyone acknowledged the command.

They all stopped their work and washed their hands.

"Old man, we're common folk, we'll just squat here to eat."

Star Lord Wugu, holding a bowl of fragrant rice, went to the side and squatted on the ground by the corner of the wall.

"Us too."

Yuan Hong and the others did the same.

"It's fine, just sit down and eat."

"No, no, old man, we're used to squatting to eat."

"Yeah, yeah, it tastes better and is more flavorful this way."

A group of heavenly gods nodded like pecking chicks, each holding their bowls and chopsticks and scurrying to the corners of the wall to squat.

What a joke!

Star Lord Wugu, Yuan Hong, and the other heavenly gods dared not sit at the table, let alone sit next to or opposite Zhang Yifan.

They had all glanced at Zhang Yifan as he butchered the ox just now.

That one glance had nearly cost them their lives!

Damn it.

It was terrifying.

They absolutely refused to sit at the table anymore.

"Ah, this?" Zhang Yifan was helpless.

"Father, just let them be."

The Jade Emperor advised Zhang Yifan, then said to the heavenly gods, "My fellow construction brothers, I won't force you on how you want to eat. Each of you can take a jar of wine and a large bowl of dishes."

"Thank you, old man!" Star Lord Wugu and the other great heavenly gods bowed deeply, thanking Zhang Yifan.

After getting their wine and dishes, They all returned to the corners of the walls and squatted down.

Yuan Hong couldn't hold back and took a bite.

A power, like the aura of Great Dao Law Fragments, surged into his brain, leaving him stunned on the spot.

But immediately after, Yuan Hong began to devour the rice and food like a starving ghost, finishing it all in mere moments...

Star Lord Wugu and the others looked at each other. Was this necessary?

Then they each took a bite, And then, like starving ghosts, they swept through the food like a storm, eating even faster than Yuan Hong!

Everyone discovered that their cultivation realms, which hadn't advanced in thousands or tens of thousands of years, had broken through!

Some even broke through several realms in succession!

Yuan Hong, Star Lord Wugu, and the others were overjoyed, their faces filled with surprise and delight.

This rice was unbelievably amazing!

And this wine was so delicious!

Compared to this wine, the Jade Nectar of the Heavenly Court was like horse urine!
