Slaughtering an Ox is Like Slaughtering the Heavenly Dao!

After the water was boiled, the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian, like two village women, squatted to the side, plucking and scalding the Golden Winged Great Peng's true form.

It had to be said, they were doing a rather professional job.

Zhang Yifan came to inspect as well. The feathers were plucked cleanly, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Yuan Hong, Wu Qu Xing Jun, and the others had been working for most of the day, and their progress was quite fast; the foundation had already been dug.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhang Yifan rolled up his sleeves, went to the kitchen, and grabbed a small bamboo knife, preparing to butcher the ox.

"Don't come over here!"

"No, no, no!"

Seeing Zhang Yifan approach, the Green Ox, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's mount, cried out internally. It mooed incessantly, but no one could hear it.

"Woof woof woof!"

The Qilin Old Ancestor, the Big Black Dog, was very impatient. It barked at the Green Ox, and the Green Ox immediately became obedient, trembling from the Qilin Old Ancestor's barks.

"Whoa, this ugly dog actually has this ability. Just a couple of barks calmed this ox down." Zhang Yifan glanced at the Big Black Dog and couldn't help but praise it.

Naturally!

The Qilin Old Ancestor, the Big Black Dog, held its head high, extremely proud. Its tail wagged so fast it looked like a propeller.

Happy!

It was praised by its master today!

The Qilin Old Ancestor was so pleased, it couldn't be happier.

It was definitely going to get two extra bones tonight.

"You were probably a sheepdog in your past life," Zhang Yifan added.

Qilin Old Ancestor: "..."

I'm clearly a Qilin!

The first Qilin in the Primordial Era!

How did I become a sheepdog?

Can that thing even compare to me?

But the Qilin Old Ancestor only dared to feel wronged in its heart. On the surface, it still wagged its tail, running around Zhang Yifan, happy as can be.

"Ugly dog, go get a basin to catch the ox blood later."

"Woof woof woof." The Qilin Old Ancestor obeyed and immediately ran to the kitchen, a large basin in its mouth.

Seeing his father about to butcher the ox, the Jade Emperor, who had just finished his work, also came over.

Yang Jian followed as well.

Zhang Yifan's movements were leisurely and graceful. With a gentle thrust of the 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, the bamboo knife never leaving the ox's body.

The Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, the Qilin Old Ancestor, the Big Black Dog, and the Golden Crow all watched Zhang Yifan butcher the ox.

The more they watched, the more their hearts sank, the more shocked 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. It was as if one strike could obliterate the Heavenly Dao, one strike could destroy the entire Primordial Era, and one strike could create a world!

Just a glance, and the vast, majestic Great Dao Saber Intent washed over them. They felt as helpless as a small boat facing a monstrous tsunami, utterly terrified.

In the face of this vast, ancient, desolate, and world-dominating saber intent, the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, the Qilin Old Ancestor, and the Golden Crow all felt their scalps tingle involuntarily, their minds trembling. Their primordial spirits felt like they were being sucked in, as if death were imminent.

"Don't look!"

The Qilin Old 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.

Too frightening!

Butchering an ox felt like butchering the Heavenly Dao!

"Done!"

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

Done?

The butchered Green Ox was stunned.

Am I dead?

No.

The Green Ox looked down at its body and realized it wasn't dead yet.

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

It wasn't bad, actually. My body felt incredibly comfortable just now.

An unprecedented sense of ease.

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

"I thought I was going to die. Thank goodness. You scared me to death."

The Green Ox thought fiercely, "Once I get out of this, I'll have Old Lord burn this place down with his fire and kill everyone here."

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

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

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

"Dad, you're too amazing! Compared to you, Cook Ding's Ox Butchery is just showing off."

The Jade Emperor couldn't help but exclaim, also letting out a silent sigh of relief. That was too terrifying.

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

"Right, right. This ox felt no pain at all. Instead, it looked like it was enjoying itself. This is truly a divine technique! Even gods can't do this. It's truly wondrous."

Yang Jian and the Jade Emperor took turns, showering him with praise without holding back.

"Of course. Your father, your grandfather, I might not be much else, but when it comes to cooking, I'm absolutely top-tier in this world."

Zhang Yifan laughed heartily, "Don't just stand there watching. Hurry up and pack this beef properly and take it to the kitchen for me."

"Yes, Dad!"

"Yes, Grandfather!"

The Jade Emperor and Yang Jian immediately sprang into action.

Their thoughts were simple: they definitely had to ask Zhang Yifan for cultivation methods next time.

If the skills of the Great Dao Realm were right in front of them, why would they bother learning Xuanmen Daoist techniques?

That would be ridiculous!

Watching Zhang Yifan butcher the ox, the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, and Old Ancestor Qilin were all astonished, and they had nearly been annihilated by the Great Dao Saber Intent. However, the gains they reaped were still unparalleled.

Even though all three of them didn't cultivate the Saber Dao, their understanding of the Great Dao Law Domain of the Saber Dao had reached an incredibly profound level.

The top Saber Dao cultivators in the Primordial Era would likely be far inferior to the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian.

That evening.

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

The aroma of the food had long since wafted into the noses of the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, Wu Qu Xing Jun, and others, stimulating their hunger.

The heavenly gods like Yuan Hong and Wu Qu Xing Jun were drooling as they worked.

Their drool flowed like tap water!

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

"Alright, my fellow construction workers, come and eat first."

As soon as Zhang Yifan served the food and wine, he called out to Yuan Hong and the others to eat.

"Everyone, come."

The Jade Emperor also issued an order to them.

"Yes."

Everyone acknowledged the order.

They all stopped their work and washed their hands.

"Sir, we are common folk, so we'll just squat here to eat."

Wu Qu Xing Jun, 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, sir, we're used to eating while squatting."

"Yes, yes, eating like this is more fragrant and flavorful."

A group of heavenly gods nodded like pecking chickens, each holding their bowls and chopsticks and slipping away to squat in the corner by the wall.

What a joke!

Wu Qu Xing Jun, Yuan Hong, and the other heavenly gods didn't dare to sit at the table, let alone sit next to or opposite Zhang Yifan.

Wu Qu Xing Jun, Yuan Hong, and the other heavenly gods had also glanced at Zhang Yifan while he was butchering the ox.

That one glance had almost cost them their lives!

Damn it.

It was terrifying!

They refused to come to the table no matter what.

"Uh, this?" Zhang Yifan was at a loss.

"Dad, just let them be,"

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

"Many thanks, Master!" Wu Qu Xing Jun and other great gods bowed respectfully, thanking Zhang Yifan.

They took their wine and food.

Everyone returned to the corner of the wall and squatted down.

Yuan Hong couldn't resist and took a bite.

Boom!

A surge of power from the fragments of Great Dao Laws impacted his brain, leaving him stunned on the spot.

But immediately after, Yuan Hong began to devour the rice and food like a starving ghost. In just a few moments, he finished it all...

Wu Qu Xing Jun and the others exchanged glances. Was this really necessary?

Then they each took a bite.

And then, like starving ghosts, they cleared their plates with a whirlwind of consumption, eating even faster than Yuan Hong!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

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, Wu Qu Xing Jun, and the others were overjoyed, their faces filled with surprise and delight.

This rice was incredibly amazing!

And this wine, it was so delicious!

Compared to this wine, the Heavenly Court's Jade Nectar was simply horse urine!

They now realized that such fine wine existed in the world.

The Jade Nectar they once treasured was worse than horse urine compared to this wine!

It seemed the Jade Emperor's wine was also just like horse urine.

Only the Master's wine could truly be called wine.

Just smelling it caused their cultivation to soar.

Taking a sip made their cultivation skyrocket!

It was divine, truly divine!

At this moment, the gods of the Heavenly Court held Zhang Yifan in even greater reverence and awe.
