Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

The once bustling Zixiao Palace, which had been lively for three thousand years, has returned to silence.

Three hundred years after Hongjun finished his lecture, in a side room of the rear hall of Zixiao Palace, Nuwa suddenly exuded a saintly aura. If Zixiao Palace had not been located far away in the chaos beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, all living beings in the prehistoric world would have been shocked.

Ling Chi, who had been guarding outside the door, felt the pressure of the Sage and a smile appeared on his lips. Hao Tian and Yao Chi, who were gnawing on pig's trotters, were forced to the ground by the Sage's pressure and lay there in a very disheveled state.

It's...it's terrifying.

Although Hongjun had already experienced it once when he became a saint, the pressure exerted by Nuwa's sainthood this time seemed to be even greater than the pressure exerted by their master back then.

This is simply unbelievable.

At the same time, Hongjun, who had already merged with the Dao, suddenly appeared beside Lingchi, calmly sensing the aura of Nuwa after she became a saint, and was deeply shocked.

In his quest to attain sainthood, he attempted to prove himself through force and through merit. However, proving himself through force was far too difficult and impossible. While proving himself through merit was relatively simple, accumulating enough merit to become a saint required sufficient time and opportunity. Although he possessed all these conditions, his strength to become a saint through merit was the weakest. Thus, caught between a rock and a hard place, he ultimately chose to sever his three corpses to prove himself.

In the end, he succeeded, and after preaching throughout the primordial world, he successfully merged with the Dao and gained the power of the Heavenly Dao. Even so, he could not hide his shock at Nuwa's ascension to sainthood.

Nuwa actually... proved her Dao through force!?

Hongjun had no idea what Nuwa had done during her more than ten thousand years of seclusion, or why she had attained enlightenment without any warning. How had she accomplished the most difficult task of proving enlightenment through force?

All these mysteries shocked and amazed Hongjun, and at the same time made him feel a little apprehensive.

Ling Chi turned to look at Hongjun and asked, "What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

Hongjun calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa has attained sainthood; how could this old Daoist not come to congratulate her?"

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you a little scared? After all, Nuwa proved her Dao through force."

"..."

Seeing that Hongjun remained silent, Ling Chi chuckled and said, "Don't worry! Neither Wa Wa nor I are troublemakers. We've known each other for so many years, you should know our style of doing things."

Hongjun nodded, appearing calm on the surface but inwardly relieved.

Soon after, the aura of the sage dissipated, and Nuwa pushed open the door and came out from the side room.

Nuwa, who had already become a saint, seemed to have changed little from the past. If one had to say she had changed, it would only be that her temperament had become more aloof and noble.

"Waa, how is it?" Ling Chi asked, "How does it feel to become a saint?"

Upon seeing Ling Chi, Nuwa's aloofness and nobility vanished, and she reverted to her usual foodie self: "I feel..." Nuwa thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she said, "Brother Ling, I have become a saint. You should keep your promise and treat me to those four meat dishes."

Ling Chi: "..."

Hongjun: "..."

Haotian and Yaochi, who had already gotten up from the ground, were dumbfounded: This...this is a saint? Why is she so different from the master? Could it be that Senior Nuwa became a fake saint?

Chapter Twenty-One: A Million Years Later, Nuwa Creates Humans

Because Ling Chi had already chosen to conquer Nuwa's stomach when Nuwa became a quasi-saint, Nuwa could no longer obtain any recipes even after becoming a saint. However, her experience points increased.

This surprised Ling Chi greatly. Originally, the cooking skills of the God of Cooking System had reached the top level. He thought that even if he conquered the stomach of a saint, he would not gain any more experience points. Unexpectedly, the experience points continued to increase.

This made Ling Chi ponder: Could it be that even the highest level of culinary skill is not the ultimate goal?

He turned to look at Hongjun and thought, "That makes sense. After all, above the Sages there is Hongjun, the representative of the Heavenly Dao, and above the Heavenly Dao there is the Great Dao. There's no reason why the ultimate goal of culinary skills is diamond-colored top-grade."

Cooking skills should be like cultivating immortality—there are no limits.

Thinking of this, Ling Chi smiled broadly and asked Nuwa, "Now that you have become a saint, what are your plans for the future?"

"Hmm..." Nuwa enjoyed the food and said, "First, I'll establish a dojo of my own in the heavens, and then I'll freeload off Brother Ling."

“Uh…” Ling Chi was taken aback: “You’re a saint, yet you’re still following me around all day, eating and drinking for free. That’s so unbecoming of a saint.”

"I am not a sage of the Heavenly Dao, so there is no need for me to set an example for the primordial beings under the Heavenly Dao," Nuwa said. "Besides, everything I have is given to me by Brother Ling. Without Brother Ling, there would be no Nuwa today."

At this point, Nuwa's eyes sparkled, and a blush rose to her cheeks: "Brother Ling, if you don't mind, I'd like to be married to you and never be separated. Is that alright?"

“…” Ling Chi shook his head: “Although I don’t mind, I’m afraid you will.”

Seeing Ling Chi shake his head, Nuwa was still a little sad, but when she heard what he said next, she was even more puzzled: "Why would I mind?"

“No, you’ll mind,” Ling Chi said. “Actually, I have many women around me, but they all live in another dimension. If you want to form a marriage with me, you must first accept them, otherwise it won’t work.”

"..." Nuwa's heart sank. She never dreamed that Ling Chi would have other women, and quite a few at that. How could she, a saint, bear this?

Hongjun was quite surprised: "I didn't expect you to already have a Daoist partner. But what is this other space you mentioned? I don't know."

As the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, he could not hide any secrets from the Heavenly Dao, but he did not know that Ling Chi had a Daoist partner, or even which space Ling Chi's Daoist partner lived in.

There is only one possibility: that space is not under the supervision of the Heavenly Dao. However, it seems that Ling Chi has not created any other spaces besides the Chef God Realm. So where do his Daoist companions live?

For Hongjun, the representative of the Heavenly Dao who likes to control everything, any secret would make him itchy and restless, just like an obsessive-compulsive disorder that pursues perfection in everything.

Ling Chi chuckled and said, "It's best if you don't ask, fellow Daoist. After all, everyone has their own secrets."

Hongjun nodded, though he felt a tickling sensation inside, but he didn't press the matter further.

Nuwa remained silent for a long time before asking, "Are Brother Ling's Daoist partners very beautiful?"

“They are beautiful.” Ling Chi nodded and said, “In my heart, they are all the most beautiful.”

Nuwa gave a wry smile and said, "In that case, Nuwa can only be Brother Ling's sister."

"That's good too." Ling Chi nodded.

For him, there were already enough women around him, and there was no need to provoke other women. Besides, there were countless goddesses in the ancient world whose names had been left behind, and he had no intention of conquering them all.

Perhaps he used to, but since breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Ling Chi has basically stopped attracting women, as evidenced by the fact that his last woman was Yang Chan.

Because after becoming a Great Golden Immortal, the pleasure of absorbing spiritual energy every day to cleanse his body and spirit is much more comfortable than the things between men and women. Nowadays, relationships between men and women are just a spiritual need for him, and he only dabble in physical matters.

This wasn't just a feeling he had; his women felt the same way. It was just that because Ling Chi had conquered their stomachs, they were more dependent on him and willing to accept any of his requests.

Nuwa also had this feeling, but as she broke through to the realm of sainthood and saw through the essence of everything, she was able to control her feelings better. Although she was a little sad, she would gradually get used to it, and once she got used to it, it would be fine.

……

After enjoying the delicious food, Nuwa left Zixiao Palace and created her own Nuwa Heaven in the chaotic space beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. With the successful creation of Nuwa Heaven, Nuwa moved the Taoist temple of Zhou Mountain into Nuwa Heaven. This made Fuxi, who had lived next door since the creation of the world, extremely reluctant to part with it, and at the same time shocked that Nuwa had become a saint.

Isn't it said that there are only eight holy positions under the Heavenly Dao?

Hongjun claimed one spot, while the Three Pure Ones, Zhenyuanzi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun claimed the other seven. How could my sworn sister have become a saint without any warning? Is there some mistake somewhere?

Faced with Fuxi's question, Nuwa did not tell the truth, only saying that she had her own opportunities and good fortune. At the same time, she also gave Fuxi some advice: "The struggle between the witches and demons is very dangerous, brother, please be careful."

Seeing that Nuwa still cared about him even after becoming a saint, Fuxi felt very warm and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, sister, I will be careful."

Nuwa nodded and left the prehistoric world to settle in the Nuwa Heaven.

If it were any other sage, she could have remained in the primordial world. However, since Nuwa was not a sage of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao could not tolerate her as an "anomaly," so she had to leave. Fortunately, she was not lonely. On her way out, she encountered a golden phoenix, which voluntarily became Nuwa's mount. Nuwa accepted her and named her Jin Ning.

Later, when she arrived at Nuwa's Heaven, Nuwa herself created many living beings from clay. So, although Nuwa's Heaven was very large, there were not few living beings. Moreover, when she was craving something, she would go to the God of Cookery Realm to find Ling Chi and ask him for food and drink. She lived a pretty comfortable life.

Ling Chi also welcomed Nuwa, because Nuwa could provide him with a small amount of experience points. Although Nuwa would only come once every hundred or even a thousand years, the prehistoric world had no shortage of time. After tens of thousands of years, Ling Chi had accumulated enough experience points. However, his cooking skills seemed to have hit a bottleneck and had not improved since.

Ling Chi wasn't in a hurry. After all, his cooking skills had reached a certain level, and it seemed that there was no point in continuing to improve them. His motivation for cooking now wasn't to upgrade his skills, but rather because he really enjoyed researching new recipes. Whenever he successfully made a new dish, even if it was only at the blue, purple, or red level, he would feel very satisfied.

Delicious food can bring happiness to people, and it can also bring satisfaction to chefs. Ling Chi enjoys her current state very much.

However, while Lingchi and Nuwa lived comfortably, the creatures of the primordial world did not.

Since the end of the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, the Wu and Yao races have started a full-scale war. Originally, Dijun and Taiyi broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm at Zixiao Palace. In addition, they had gathered powerful subordinates such as Kunpeng and Fuxi. They were originally full of confidence in defeating the Wu race. However, they did not expect that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would also break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Although Di Jun and Tai Yi both possessed powerful spiritual treasures and even supreme treasures, together with Kunpeng and Fuxi, they were only four quasi-saints. Facing the twelve quasi-saints of the Wu Clan, they were naturally beaten quite badly. Fortunately, Di Jun relied on the Hetu and Luoshu to deduce the Zhou Tian Star Array. As the array was perfected, he was able to fight the twelve ancestral witches to a standstill.

Although the number of witches was small, each one of them was extremely powerful, while the number of demons was large, but most of them were more show than substance. For a time, neither race could defeat the other, and the stalemate lasted for nearly a million years.

During this period, the demon race discovered the Heavenly Court, and Di Jun and Tai Yi took the opportunity to establish the Heavenly Court, recruiting the demons with the strongest combat power to the Heavenly Court as their main base.

Meanwhile, Di Jun once passed by the Taiyin Star and took a liking to the Jade Rabbit Chang Xi on the Taiyin Star, the Jade Rabbit that was born holding the Moon Essence Wheel. He then asked Fu Xi for advice on how to marry Chang Xi.

Upon hearing this, Fuxi thought it was easy to resolve, and immediately went to Nuwa's Heaven to invite his younger sister to propose marriage. Nuwa felt this was a good thing, and she sensed that this might be the opportunity presented by the red embroidered ball given to her by Lingchi, so she personally went to Taiyin Star to propose marriage for Dijun.

Chang Xi had long admired the heroic Di Jun, and when she saw that Di Jun had sent Nuwa to propose marriage, she blushed and agreed.

So, a thousand years later, Di Jun held a grand wedding in the Heavenly Court, marrying Chang Xi.

Nuwa personally officiated at the wedding. After the ceremony, the Heavenly Dao bestowed a massive amount of merit, directly helping Di Jun sever his two corpses and causing his cultivation to surge. Chang Xi also severed one corpse, breaking through from the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Nuwa's red embroidered ball also absorbed a huge amount of merit and turned into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. This was because the red embroidered ball completed the heavenly marriage of heaven, earth and man, and the heavenly way was moved and thus bestowed merit as a reward.

The demon race, represented by Di Jun, was overjoyed, but the witch race was dismayed upon hearing the news.

With Di Jun's breakthrough in cultivation, he will definitely target the Wu Clan. The Wu Clan is already struggling to cope with the Demon Clan's 'Demon Sea Tactics,' and now that Di Jun has broken through, their lives will be even more difficult.

Under pressure, Jiang Fuling, the eldest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Space Ancestral Witch, decided to work with his eleven younger brothers and sisters to develop a Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation that uses the power of the Ancestral Witch bloodline.

This Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is not only incredibly powerful, but its ultimate secret is to summon the true form of Pangu. With Pangu's strength, he can even fight against a saint, while those below the saint level are nothing but ants. If the demon race dares to launch the final war, they can expect to be wiped out!

As the struggle between the witches and demons intensified, Nuwa was in the Nuwa Heaven, looking at the red embroidered ball and trying to understand what earthly marriage and human marriage meant.

The Heavenly Marriage was the wedding of Di Jun and Chang Xi, who occupied the Heavenly Court. Could the Earthly Marriage be the wedding of the emperor who controls the earth? As for the Human Marriage... was it the wedding of the human race she created from clay?

Thinking of the human race, Nuwa suddenly felt a stirring in her heart, as if she sensed that her opportunity had arrived.

Following her intuition, Nuwa stepped from the Heaven of Nuwa to the foot of Mount Zhou. Then, using water and earth, she molded clay into human figures. These figures quickly came to life and were highly intelligent. Upon seeing Nuwa, they immediately knelt down and cried out, "Mother!"

Nuwa smiled slightly, but her delicate brows furrowed slightly, because she realized that she had not felt any spiritual connection during the process of creating humans, which meant that although she had successfully created humans, it could not be considered a meritorious deed.

why?

Nuwa was completely baffled. Just when her head was about to ache from thinking, she finally remembered the truth she had always believed in: "When in doubt, consult Lingchi."

The world of culinary gods.

Ling Chi was brewing a pot of tea and enjoying life in a rocking chair when Nuwa suddenly appeared in front of him and smiled, "Brother Ling is still so leisurely."

Seeing Nuwa arrive, Ling Chi chuckled: "Aren't you the same! But it's only been twenty-odd years since you last came, how come you're here so soon?"

Nuwa pouted and said, "This time, I have something to ask Brother Ling for advice. I hope Brother Ling will be generous in giving me his guidance."

"Oh?" Ling Chi stood up, put the teapot aside, and asked, "Speak!"

Nuwa then recounted the story of how she created humans from clay.

After listening to Nuwa's story, Ling Chi seemed to be deep in thought.

Nuwa creating humans and becoming a saint is a common trope in prehistoric fantasy novels, but in this world, Nuwa broke away from the Heavenly Dao early on and proved the Dao through force, so she didn't need the merit of creating humans from the Heavenly Dao at all.

However, since Nuwa still had this whim, it's clear that under the laws of Heaven, the human race still needs her to create. Of course, she won't be short of merit either, but she can only be responsible for creating humans and accumulating merit; she can't interfere in anything else.

Of course, this had nothing to do with the feeling that her clay-creation technique was wrong. After thinking it over and over, Ling Chi could only think that the material used to create the clay was the problem.
