Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 139 The Cook Boards the Ship: The Invisible Sword's Power
Inside the Great Black Heaven, Zhu Yun and Luo Tian looked at each other in dismay. They never expected that the fire transmission they had just started would be forced to stop before even lasting a second.

Na Zhuyun couldn't help but curse:

"Fatty Luo, you used to say that my disciples from the Pure Yang Heaven sect were useless. Look at your successor from the Kitchen God's Shop, they're utterly worthless."

Luo Tian also looked embarrassed, his dark, chubby face growing increasingly somber.

He couldn't help but say:

"Could it be that some spendthrift at my [Kitchen God Shop] sold off my spatula and let some idiot take it?"

"I only blew on half a breath of fire, what good could that do?"

If the Great Sun Flame gathered by Luo Tian's "Master Chef" is Chernobyl, then the fire he transmitted to the "Gluttonous Shovel" is at most a gas cylinder.

If the fire continues to be passed around at this rate, it's really a waste of effort.

……

In the hot pot restaurant, the current "chef" swung his big iron ladle and gave Luo Tian a good beating, making him howl in pain.

He pounded the hammer while cursing and yelling:
"You little bastard, you're a reincarnation of a glutton! You can eat the equivalent of three people, but you're not even worth half a brick when it comes to doing anything!"

"Try it again. If you still have diarrhea like this, don't blame me!"

Having said that, he dragged Luo Tian to the [Gluttonous Spatula] and said:

"Daozi, could you please do it again?"

Jing Qian pursed his lips and said:
"Senior [Chef], this time fishing in the void is not so easy."

"It takes a lot of materials and effort for a junior to gather a single fish bait."

"We'll have to wait a few more days before we can come again."

The head chef, his face ashen, could only apologize and say:
"【Chunyangzi】You flatter me. Luo Tian couldn't handle things and wasted your opportunity."

"You can rest here for a while while I get you some materials and make a few more fish baits so he can try them a few more times."

"Luo Tian [the head chef] is in danger, and we must do everything we can to rescue him."

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian shook his head and said:
“Senior, I am currently cultivating in the vast ocean and I am afraid I will not be able to stay in this hot pot city for a long time.”

"How about this, you can have Fellow Daoist Luo Tian travel with me, and once I've refined some fish bait along the way, I can have him directly absorb some of the fire energy."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian immediately stood up in surprise and said:
“Master, we shouldn’t delay Fellow Daoist Chixiao’s cultivation, so I will accompany him to the Vast Sea.”

"I promise I won't cause any further trouble!"

The head chef pondered for a moment before speaking:
"Alright, you should cooperate with Daozi's arrangements."

“Young friend Chixiao, the materials for your fish bait will be provided by my [Zaowang Shop]. Now, take Luo Tian on your way and do as you please.”

After saying that, the chef took out a small storage bag and handed it to Jing Qian.

Jing Qian probed with his divine sense and discovered the carcass of a [Star-Picking] Dragon Whale. The quality was quite good, enough to refine several fish baits.

He accepted the gift with a smile, then got up to say goodbye to the chef, gave Luo Tian a quick glance, and disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, the two were on top of [Chaohu]'s corpse.

As soon as Luo Tian appeared, he burst into wild laughter:
"Hahaha! I'm finally out! Hahaha!"

"Thank you, Master Chi, for saving me from this misery. I no longer have to get beaten up every day."

Luo Tian looked like a prisoner who had just been released from labor camp.

Jing Qian pursed his lips and said:
"I've done everything you asked me to do, so you can't let me down now that you promised me."

"You stay on the boat for now. After I finish cleaning up the remains of this [Tide Coral], we'll set off."

After listening, Luo Tian immediately asked:

"【Tide Coral】? That 【Star-Picking】coral demon?"

After saying that, he went to explore the seabed and discovered coral remains that were being eaten by a kind of evil spirit.

He immediately said:
"Master Chi, let me show you my skills!"

After saying that, he plunged headfirst into the deep sea.

Jing Qian stood on the Dingyuan, silently waiting.

After tasting the first bite of Luo Tian's stir-fried dragon skin, he had the idea of ​​kidnapping him.

Luo Tianzao also wanted to go out and gain experience, but his master had high expectations for him and relentlessly pushed him to cultivate, not giving him the opportunity to go down the mountain.

The two hit it off immediately!
The core disciples of [Zao Wang Dian] may not be outstanding in combat, but their culinary skills are undoubtedly unparalleled in the world.

Jingqian's stomach was now firmly under his control.

More importantly, he possessed the complete "Book of Cooking and Stove Refining the Way of the World," whose wondrous recipes would be of great use to his current cultivation.

In the future, on his path of [Spirit Subduing], his potential opponents are, to some extent, priceless seafood, so having a chef by his side is quite necessary.

Otherwise, eating seafood sashimi every meal would be unbearable!

Luo Tian had only been in the deep sea for a short while when a sudden undercurrent arose.

Jing Qian watched as the deep sea was dyed in gold and red, as if someone had poured molten copper into the trench.

"Master Chi, watch closely!"

As they were speaking, a large black pot emerged from the sea, filled with thick [Great Sun True Flame], which was calcining a pot full of coral branches.

Then, Luo Tian picked up his big shovel and started stir-frying the coral.

Under the combined effect of the Gluttonous Spatula and the Great Sun Flame, this fourth-grade Star-Picking Coral slowly crumbled.

Before long, the coral was ground into a fine powder.

Then, Luo Tian added a handful of special baking powder to the powder, and after stirring it again, the coral powder actually rose into a large, light pink dough.

Immediately afterward, disregarding the high temperature in the pot, he scooped out the dough, kneaded it in his hands, and pulled out a pot of coral noodles.

With a wave of his magic, he conjured a dining table and chairs on the sea surface. He then took out a set of exquisite tableware from his storage space, ladled out a bowl of noodles, and said:

"Master Chi, this bowl of coral noodles can soothe muscles and bones, invigorate blood and replenish energy, and enhance magical power. Please try it."

Jing Qian calmly took his seat, picked up the bowl of noodles, and chuckled as he swallowed the coral noodles.

Cool!
An incredibly chewy and smooth texture filled his mouth; he had never eaten such delicious noodles before!

As he chewed and digested the noodles, a pure magical power surged through his body.

Luo Tian's simple cooking method perfectly stimulated the immortal spiritual energy within Chao Hu's body, transforming it into a delicious tonic that nourished Jing Qian's physical body and magical power.

Jing Qian's magical power cultivation level actually increased by more than a dozen times!

He couldn't resist ladling out another bowl and quickly devouring it, causing his magical power to rise a few more times.

He ate five bowls in a row before he was satisfied, and the effect of the coral noodles in increasing his magical power reached its limit.

Jing Qian closed his eyes to calm his mind, savoring the essence of the [immortal energy], feeling that he had gained a great deal. On the other side, Mo Pin'er, holding the [flesh worm] that had just been resurrected and had only grown to the size of a palm, quietly sat down at the dining table, also enjoying a bowl of noodles, and began to slurp them quietly.

A void rift opened, and [Good Corn] took the lead, arrogantly arriving beside Luo Tian and ordering a bowl as well.

The raccoon followed behind the corn spirit and also ordered a bowl.

For a moment, everyone was immersed in the deliciousness of the coral noodles.

Luo Tian was delighted with this, as a chef loves gourmets the most, and it was a great joy for him that his fellow Daoists enjoyed his cooking.

When he first joined the team, he cleverly showed off his superb culinary skills, which successfully won over everyone's stomachs and established his unique position.

For generations of Zao Wang Dian (Kitchen God Shop) successors, culinary diplomacy is a fundamental skill ingrained in their very being.

Jing Qian gave himself a big thumbs up for successfully luring Luo Tian over.

While enjoying delicious food is certainly important, the nutritional supplements from [Zao Wang Dian] are excellent aids for spiritual cultivation.

It is foreseeable that he will reap even greater rewards on his future path of [Spirit Subduing].

This small team stayed in this sea area for another day before the remains of the [Tide Coral] demon were finally mostly dealt with.

The group continued to sail deeper into the vast sea. Mo Pin'er steered the boat, while Jing Qian pulled Luo Tian back into the cabin and resumed the fire-passing ceremony.

Having fished in the void twice in a row, Jing Qian was quite familiar with casting his line into the [Daheitian].

Without much effort, a channel for transmitting evil fire through the causal fishing line was opened.

The immense [Great Sun True Flame] surged forth and fell into the [Gluttonous Shovel].

It should be noted that the magical power of a burning sun is equivalent to that of a second-rank great power with a "seven-character" or higher cultivation level.

Cultivating the Great Sun True Method and advancing to the second-rank [Crimson Sun] level is an extremely powerful cultivation path in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Luo Tian, ​​who was in charge of the cooking, refined the Great Sun True Flame among the hundred great suns gathered by the Great Black Heaven. This flame was the best quality among all the evil flames.

For Jing Qian and Luo Tian, ​​this is a very important resource for their future advancement to the [Earthly Fiend] level.

However, Luo Tian is currently only at the [Longevity] level and has not yet accumulated enough resources to advance to the [Spirit Subduing] level. It is not easy for him to stably bear the [Great Sun True Flame].

Jing Qian was ready to cut the causal fishing line at any time, but this time, Luo Tian stubbornly stood up.

He endured five times the amount of fire energy as before before he could cry out for help and sever the fire-transfer connection.

Jing Qian couldn't help but speak up:
"Luo Tian, ​​you've made great progress this time!"

"Hey! Master Chi, you're joking. Once you understand my situation better, you'll realize that you absolutely cannot use your full strength in front of my master; you must always leave some room for maneuver."

“He pushes me too hard. If I can do three parts, he wants five. If I do five parts, he wants ten. He just keeps exploiting me.”

“Normally, I don’t even have time to catch my breath. Being able to come out with you this time truly saved my life.”

Jing Qian was impressed by Luo Tian; he was indeed a cunning and sly person.

"Master Chi, please wait for me. This [Great Sun True Flame] needs to be digested as soon as possible. I'll brew a pot of [Aphrodisiac Soup], which is the best way to unleash the power of this True Flame."

"I guarantee that after you drink it, your vital energy will be greatly replenished, and you'll be full of energy when you cultivate!"

After saying that, he squatted down in front of his spatula and obediently started cooking.

Compared to his cultivation, Luo Tian truly loves cooking. Now that he's free from his master's constraints, he can devote himself entirely to preparing recipes, directly neglecting most of his cultivation studies.

However, with the highly nourishing "Aphrodisiac Soup," aside from causing some internal heat, the speed of cultivation may not necessarily be slow.

Jing Qian glanced at Luo Tian, ​​who was focused on simmering soup, and was quite satisfied, feeling that he had hired the right chef.

He then began his daily spiritual practice.

He first summoned the [Saintly Appearance], picked up the [Immortal Sword Embryo] and smashed it repeatedly, refining the primordial energy and magical power he had recently gathered, causing his magical power cultivation to increase by more than a dozen times.

Immediately afterwards, he poured his ever-increasing lifespan into the [Sword of Longevity] through the [Sword of Blessing].

As the [Immortal Sword Embryo] was poised to rise, the sixth coin of [Destiny] quietly sprouted.

Jing Qian was eagerly anticipating using the [Immortal Sword Embryo] to carry his first [Destiny], which would undoubtedly be a crucial turning point in his cultivation.

He had even already decided which destiny he would let the Immortal Sword Embryo carry first.

He then focused his mind into the [Destiny Stele] space and placed the [Hidden Form Sword] destiny upon it.

Subsequently, he was once again inspired by the power of destiny.

After embarking on the path of [Spirit Subduing], his lifespan limit was lifted, allowing him to freely enhance his [Destiny].

This time, he used his divine sense and mind to infuse the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele], guiding the evolution of the [Hidden Form Sword] toward the direction of "concealment".

He's already determined to see the path of the Void Assassin through to the very end!
A powerful Daoist aura emerged from the Destiny Stele, completely crushing the [Hidden Form Sword]. Boundless Daoist truths also inexplicably emerged and merged into this [Destiny Token].

Immediately, a brand new [Destiny] was born:

[Destiny: The Invisible Sword]

[Position: Destiny]

Even an elephant can be observed, but a desolate dwelling remains formless!

Sixty years of lifespan, exchanged for Jing Qian's continued improvement in combat power, is absolutely worthwhile.

As soon as the [Invisible Sword] appeared, the numerous sword lights that Jing Qian unleashed with a wave of his hand completely disappeared.

This is not simply about blocking out light and silencing sound, but a true sense of nothingness, an extremely profound spatial technique.

Each sword light seemed to exist in an independent dimension, yet it was completely different from entering and exiting [Sumeru]. It could directly cause damage without the repeated consumption of space travel.

Even the [Immortal Sword Embryo] in his hand, after being empowered by the [Invisible Sword], slowly concealed its form.

Jing Qian did not wield an invisible blade, but rather completely freed his own hands.

But as soon as he has a thought, the [Immortal Sword Embryo] connected to his hand can truly strike anything in the mortal world.

This [Destiny] makes him even more adept at stealth and assassination than before.

He was naturally extremely satisfied with this!
While Jing Qian was savoring the new "Destiny," Luo Tian's "Aphrodisiac Soup" was finally ready.

As usual, he first ladled out a bowl and brought it to Jing Qian, who was sitting at the bow of the boat.

Jing Qian reached out and took it, then drank the divine soup in one gulp.

Instantly, a burning sensation shot from my throat straight into my chest and abdomen.

He was like someone who had drunk strong liquor, yet possessed pure yang energy that burst forth within his body, spreading throughout his entire being, making him feel as if he were burning with fire, yet as hard as an iron tower.

The granulation tissue on his chest, taking advantage of this vital energy, grew wildly, sprouting seven or eight new shoots.

More importantly, this pure yang energy suddenly activated the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], allowing him to directly comprehend the [Flame Qi], which he had been slightly lacking in understanding.
