Chapter 649: What is the truth about the world of Eden?
Fat Chef Pleiades is a very interesting guy.
It is said that he was a talented chef famous in the West Sea when he was young. He was born with a tongue that could taste all kinds of flavors in the world. Relying on this tongue, when he was sixteen years old, Mao Xing had already been in and out of the palaces of various wealthy families in the West Sea, cooking for the nobles.
The story of how he entered into spiritual practice is also one of the most popular legends in the West Sea.
It is said that when Pleiades was eighteen years old, in order to find the true meaning of cooking, he traveled thousands of miles into the Starry Sea as a mortal, going there to search for the true taste of heaven and earth, and he ended up having good luck.
On a deserted island, he inherited the immortal chef legacy left by an ancient powerful being.
Specifically, it seems to be a Lingbao kitchen knife.
In short, after Mao Xing obtained the magical kitchen knife, he started practicing at the age of eighteen. At the age of forty-seven, he had already entered the spiritual realm. There were rumors that Mao Xing was possessed by a thousand-year-old ghost, but later the powerful people of the Immortal Alliance confirmed that this was not the case.
Although the fat chef's skills have improved, he is still not good at fighting. Instead, his cooking skills have become more and more superb.
Since then, he has traveled across the five continents of the world, preparing immortal banquets for various sects while continuing to seek the limits of the art of cooking.
The fat chef's second good luck came in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm.
It is said that he cooked a few dishes for Master Xu, and the master was satisfied so he told him his fortune. After that, Mao Xing disappeared and no one knew where he went.
But two hundred years later, when Pleiades returned to everyone's sight, it had already fallen into a sea of suffering.
He became the first bitter sea chef in the history of Ku Mu Realm.
Before Pleiades, the Immortal Chef school was just a low-level practice in the Kumu Realm. But after the fat chef became famous, the Immortal Chef school officially entered the path of practice.
However, there is some water in the sea of suffering of Pleiades.
The fat chef himself joked that he was the second most bitter sea in the world.
As for who is the number one water, well, everyone knows.
His life was not a life of fighting. The fat chef had no interest in fighting. His only interest was cooking and seeking breakthroughs in cooking.
The school of immortal chefs, with Taotie Tower as its leader, was actually founded by Pleiades, who selflessly shared his way of practice with all the immortal chefs who were able to join.
How to say it, the practice of the immortal chef is completely different from that of the monks.
They gave up everything and only pursued the Tao of culinary arts, which was very similar to the situation in Tongtianfang. They only practiced the Huang-Lao technique and each of them developed a turtle-like temperament.
But what makes the way of the immortal chefs more powerful than the Huang-Lao way of Tongtianfang is that it is the single-minded pursuit of the ultimate in cooking that causes these immortal chefs to often find a heart of Tao when they are in the first three realms of cultivation.
However, Xianchu is not good at fighting, so even if he finds the heart of Tao, it is actually of no use. At most, it will be easier for him to cultivate into the realm of seeking Tao.
"I'm busy."
When the fat chef Mao Xing saw Lao Jiang coming to his house, he suddenly felt a headache, as if he had met a creditor.
He waved his hand and told his apprentices to hurry back to the kitchen to prepare. He took a bottle of wine from the counter of Taotie Restaurant, threw it to Lao Jiang, and waved his hand to dismiss him:
"I remember the immortal feast I owe you. I'll make it for you when I'm free. Okay. I'm really busy right now, and Tongtian Mountain can't wait. Didn't you see that I've closed Taotie Tower?"
"That's not what I'm here for."
Lao Jiang uncorked the bottle of fairy wine in his hand, took a sip, and said with an intoxicated look on his face:
"I came to ask for a few things from the Pleiades Immortal Venerable."
"what would you like?"
The fat cook put his kitchen knife into his belt and asked.
"Didn't you catch a dragon before?"
Jiang Xia raised his head and said:
"Give me some of its blood, flesh, scales, etc. I'll take it back... Well, I'll use it to make tools, so only a little bit will be enough, but I need it everywhere.
Also, your Taotie Tower must have various bones of strange monsters, cooking leftovers, and so on. Give me some of them.
I don’t take it for free, I pay for it.”
"What do you want these things for?"
The fat cook said suspiciously:
"I've never heard that Mo Shuang Mountain needs these to make weapons. Instead, those evil cultivators would look for these things and make some things that are not worthy of being shown on the table."
"Just give me some. Didn't you say you want to take advantage of my karma?"
Boss Jiang didn't explain, but instead tried to curry favor with others.
He said plausibly:
"This is cause and effect. There is a cause before there is an effect. Today you are doing me a favor, which is the cause. If you encounter problems in the future, I will help you, which is the effect.
Am I right?
I don't want the magic knife in your hand, what are you afraid of?"
"Ha, you little cultivator, you still want this 'Pao Ding' knife in my hand, you dare to think about it."
Mao Xing curled his lips. The fat cook looked towards the back kitchen, where there was a lot of hustle and bustle. Some disciples were already calling him to come over to deal with the dragon's head, saying that some evil spirit was escaping and they couldn't handle it.
"You wait here."
The fat chef thought for a moment, said something to Lao Jiang, turned around and disappeared in a flash.
Old Jiang took out two cups from the counter, one for himself and one for Shi Liu, then he opened the fairy wine in his hand and drank it with the little mountain monster with relish.
Pomegranates have no sense of taste, so drinking alcohol is just like drinking water.
Lao Jiang once thought maliciously that if he stuffed sheep dung into Shi Liu's mouth, which he usually used to grind his teeth, the little mountain monster would probably eat it.
It doesn't need to eat at all.
The reason why I developed the habit of eating is that I am too idle, perhaps I was led astray by Jiang Zemin.
However, Mao Xing is worthy of being the leader of the fairy chefs. The fairy wine he throws to Lao Jiang is extraordinary. Shi Liu said that he can taste the flavor of this wine, so he holds the bottle and drinks it.
As he was drinking, his head tilted and fell to the ground with a bang, which scared Lao Jiang. He quickly picked him up and took a look, and found that Shi Liu was drunk.
This little mountain weirdo has good drinking habits. He falls asleep when he's drunk and doesn't talk nonsense.
About half an incense stick later, a young man wearing the chef's robe of Taotie Tower came running over with a Qiankun bag in his hand. He said it was given to the guests by his master and they were all leftovers, so he didn't want any money.
Their words were meant to urge Lao Jiang to leave quickly and not disturb them from processing the precious ingredients.
"Please thank Immortal Master Subaru for me."
Lao Jiang held the Qiankun bag, stood up and took a look at the kitchen. It was as busy as a war. More than a dozen chefs in the Taotie Building were doing their own things.
Even though they are just processing food ingredients, all kinds of spiritual energy have gathered here, and the colorful colors blend together, making the kitchen look like a fairyland.
What I know is cooking.
If I didn’t know, I would have thought these chefs were fighting each other.
"You're such a jerk!"
Jiang Xia walked out of the Taotie Tower carrying a Qiankun bag full of bones, scales and scraps, and was about to ask Shi Liu to use his terrestrial escape ability to take him back to the Disaster Island.
But he found that the little mountain monster was lying on his shoulder, sleeping soundly, and occasionally shouting a few words in the local dialect of the goblins, but he had no idea what it was saying.
There was no way for the beast to move underground with this posture, and Lao Jiang was so angry that he cursed a few times and hit Shi Liu a few more times, but the little monster was made of stone and felt no pain at all.
It's the same whether you hit me or not.
In desperation, Jiang Xia had to find a secluded place, activate his magical power of traveling through time, and throw himself into the spiritual world he had found in the Dragon Palace before.
This uninhabited spiritual world has been promised to the Eden people, so Lao Jiang named it "Garden of Eden".
The place where he landed was right under the bare Jianmu tree. As Lao Jiang landed, a warm spiritual breeze blew on his face, full of joy.
The whole world welcomes him.
Since Lao Jiang has integrated the world's heart, he is basically like a "god" here, just like when he went to the Red Moon Realm or the Wasteland.
It is impossible to change the world in a single thought.
But he could turn his hand to make clouds, turn his hand to make rain, and with a thought, he could cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split. It was easy for him to kill tens of thousands of people. It was a bit exaggerated to call him a god with such power. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him "world administrator".
The authority is extremely high, second only to the Heart of the World.
"Someone will come after a while, and they will reproduce and rebuild civilization here."
Boss Jiang reached out and patted the bare wood behind him, saying :
"You must get along well with them, so that I won't have to save you in vain. But if the Eden people are too bad, don't be nice to them. Beat them when they deserve it and scold them when they deserve it."
This was his advice to the Heart of the World. On the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in the Sea of Consciousness, the blue flowers on the branches also swayed a little, as if in response.
Every world like it that has a world heart should have a companion civilization. It is very grateful for Lao Jiang's arrangement and is ready to welcome the new civilization.
"Hmm, it smells fishy."
Jiang Xia sat under the bare Jianmu tree. He opened the Qiankun bag in front of him and took out a finger-sized piece of dragon bone from which the flesh had been shaved off. It was probably a scrap from the magic dragon.
In short, it exudes an unconcealable fishy smell, and evil thoughts seep out of it.
Boss Jiang pinched his nose and looked at the thing in front of him. He was a little hesitant, but finally he drew out the Heaven-Slaying Sword, cut the dragon bone into pieces and put it into his mouth.
"vomit"
The strong smell made Lao Jiang retch on the spot, but he still swallowed it with a bitter face.
This is not Jiang Xia torturing himself.
Instead, he was trying the fruit from the wasteland, which brought him new magical powers. It is said that the feedback power that the fruits of each world give to Lao Jiang is different.
The fruit from the Red Moon Realm purified Lao Jiang's spiritual roots to the extreme, and helped him to transform the Golden Spirit Pearl, giving him eyesight and the ability to manipulate metals.
The wasteland has no spiritual energy, so the fruits it gives have nothing to do with cultivation, but are related to the body.
To be precise, it has to do with genes.
That fruit gave Lao Jiang a magical ability, the same ability as the radioactive worms born near the heart of the world... evolution!
Just like now.
After Lao Jiang swallowed the dragon's skeleton, as the skeleton was digested bit by bit by the powerful digestive ability, Jiang Xia could feel that his body was also changing.
A very slight change, almost inaudible.
After all, evolution is never something that happens overnight.
Boss Jiang looked at the monster bones, scales and internal organs emitting various smells in the Qiankun bag in front of him with a look of despair. He sighed, took out another one, and was about to put it into his mouth with his eyes closed, but suddenly realized something.
"Snap"
He hit his forehead hard.
"Am I stupid? If it's a genetic evolutionary ability, why should I eat these stinky things? I don't have the ability of pomegranates, so I can't even taste the flavor of shit...
Wouldn't it be better to take it to Eden World and let them process and purify it into an injection?"
Such thoughts flooded into Boss Jiang's mind, making him more confident. He grabbed the Qiankun bag in his hand and put it on his shoulder. He also picked up the sleeping pomegranate and put it on his shoulder.
He waved goodbye to Jianmu behind him.
He turned around, opened the passage leading to the world of Eden, and stepped in.
Then……
Missed the step.
Old Jiang was like someone who tripped over his left foot and fell on flat ground. The moment he stepped into the World of Eden, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. This made him feel strange.
After all, I have been to the World of Eden more than once or twice before. How could this happen?
But the next moment, Lao Jiang's posture became even stiffer.
He discovered that his soul had left his body.
The moment he set foot in the world of Eden, a force forcibly pulled his soul out of his body, separating his body and soul.
Boss Jiang looked at his illusory hands, and he suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Mr. Crow had told him that there were strange things in the world of Eden, but only after cultivating the primordial spirit in the spiritual realm could one see the truth.
Lao Jiang blinked.
He looked up in his spiritual state.
Then, he saw...
