Chapter 1403: 1403
The spirit sea was the most important part of a person . At higher levels, the cultivation of the body could not continue to break through once it had reached the peak, but the cultivation of the spirit was limitless, for the human spirit was as unfathomable as a vast starry sky .
However, once the spirit sea was hurt, that person was basically crippled . That was why everyone was shocked after learning that the God of Chef’s Challenge had broken into Bu Fang’s spirit sea .
This was absolutely fatal . How could Bu Fang possibly survive when his spirit sea was intruded by a God? Unless there was also a God in his spirit sea… But how was that possible? Therefore, Di Ting looked at him with sympathy .
That made Bu Fang feel a little strange . However, he didn’t say anything but entered his spirit sea .
With his hands clasped behind his back, he appeared in his spirit sea . Below him were swirling whirlpools and raging waves . Not far away, the God of Cooking’s Menu was flipping in midair, and over it hung a divine power liquid drop, which was glowing goldenly like the sun, overshadowing everything . The divine will Phantom Spirit sat cross-legged over the Menu as well . At this moment, its eyes were open, shining brightly and staring in one direction .
Bu Fang walked in the air and soon came to the Phantom Spirit’s side . He followed its gaze and immediately saw the divine sense that was the God of Chef’s Challenge .
The God of Chef’s Challenge hovered in midair, emitting silver light like a sharp sword that was going to cut through everything . He was facing the four Artifact Spirits, who sat in the four corners of the spirit sea and looked down at him .
He was shocked . Words could not describe the horror in his heart . He glanced around . It was the first time he had seen such a vast spirit sea . Even his own spirit sea was not so big! Did this really belong to a mortal?
And the four terrible mythical beasts who were watching him with half-smiles… All these made him a little nervous! He never expected the spirit sea of this mortal to look like this!
“Yoho… Here comes a new friend . ” Divine Dragon’s playful voice rang out .
The God of Chef’s Challenge turned abruptly and saw that the golden Divine Dragon was smiling at him .
The dragon was smiling?
Vermilion Bird flapped her wings and said, “This is the divine sense of a God . However, it took great courage for even Gods to intrude Little Host’s spirit sea . ” Her voice was very gentle and pleasant to the ear .
Black Turtle was taking a nap with his eyes closed and did not speak, while White Tiger snorted proudly and was too lazy to speak . He was the one who possessed Bu Fang and gave the God of Chef’s Challenge a brutal beating, so he did not bother himself to talk to someone he had defeated . Since they were not on the same level, they did not need to have any interaction .
Vermilion Bird’s words brought the God of Chef’s Challenge to his senses . ‘Yes, I am a God . Why should I be afraid? He is just a mortal . Although his spirit sea was a little strange, it doesn’t mean that his mental force is stronger than mine!’
As soon as he realized this, his confidence returned . The next moment, he let out a whistle . Then, his aura began to climb rapidly and soon reached a very frightening level .

‘This is an excellent spirit sea, and I ought to take it for myself . Maybe it will take me to a wider world!’ Greed crept into his eyes .
Staring at the four Artifact Spirits, he said loudly, “Submit to me!”
Just as he finished saying that, a thud rang out, and he was knocked flying backward like a cannonball . The next moment, he stopped abruptly as a golden dragon claw caught him in midair, squeezing him with a terrible force .
“You think too highly of yourself…” Divine Dragon said playfully . “Do you know who you are talking to?” He raised a claw and tapped the God of Chef’s Challenge on the head . “You are talking to Nicholas the Noble and Handsome Dragon!”
The God of Chef’s Challenge was a little dumbstruck, and he couldn’t understand why these fellows weren’t afraid of his divine pressure . ‘What dragon? Nicholas? What is that?!’
Divine Dragon rattled on . Whenever he finished a sentence, he tapped the God with his claw, and each tap left the God’s head redder and more swollen .
After a long time, the God of Chef’s Challenge could not stand it anymore . How could he bear such humiliation?
“AHHHH! Let go of me!” His eyes burned with rage as he roared, trying to break free of the claw . Surprisingly, he managed to struggle out of the restriction of the claw, and without hesitation, he turned into a silver streak of light and sped into the distance .
A pity that no sooner had he escaped the restriction than he was caught by the golden claw again .
“This handsome dragon still remembers the last little friend who intruded Little Host’s spirit sea . Under this handsome dragon’s might, he was shaking like a leaf . You are better than him, as you can still struggle .
“But struggling is good because it will bring this handsome dragon a sense of accomplishment after taking you down!
“You can scream, but nobody will help you no matter how loud you are!” Divine Dragon said with a smile .
The God of Chef’s Challenge turned black in an instant . Was he being verbally molested? Was he being molested by a stupid dragon?
Bu Fang’s expression became extremely strange as he hovered next to the Phantom Spirit and watched . As he had expected, with the four Artifact Spirits, his spirit sea was impregnable . Even the divine sense of a God could not cause any harm to his spirit sea .
‘This God of Chef’s Challenge will probably feel real despair soon…’ he thought to himself .
Rumble!
A mighty aura surged as the God of Chef’s Challenge broke free again and soared into the sky . At this moment, he had an urge to flee .
He had thought that he could possess this mortal’s fleshly body by intruding his spirit sea, just as what he had done to Ah Zhuang . But now, it seemed that his plan was just wishful thinking . Ah Zhuang’s spirit sea was a world away from Bu Fang’s .
He transformed into a streak of silver light and was impatient to fly out of the spirit sea . Suddenly, just as he turned, he saw Bu Fang . His eyes lit up in an instant . That was Bu Fang’s consciousness! He finally found it! As long as he killed this consciousness, this spirit sea would be his!
Rumble!
The void exploded, and waves rolled as the God of Chef’s Challenge shot straight toward Bu Fang .
Bu Fang hovered over the God of Cooking’s Menu and watched indifferently . He couldn’t believe that this fellow dared to harbor the thought of harming him in his spirit sea . Facing the approaching God of Chef’s Challenge, he slowly raised his palm .

In the distance, Divine Dragon and Vermilion Bird watched with half-smiles on their faces .
“DIE!”
The God of Chef’s Challenge approached at high speed . He couldn’t wait to wipe out Bu Fang’s consciousness . His plan was good, but reality soon gave him a blow in the head .
Suddenly, the Phantom Spirit beside Bu Fang flicked open its eyes, while the fluctuation of his divine will spread in an instant, pouring toward the God of Chef’s Challenge .
‘Divine will? Ridiculous! How can I be afraid of a mere divine will when I’m the divine sense of a God?!’ The God sneered, but his smile soon froze on his face .
As the divine will poured over, his body froze, and his divine sense began to crack and crumble under the impact!
“Dammit!” The God of Chef’s Challenge flew into a rage . Even then, he saw the God of Cooking’s Menu, the Phantom Spirit sitting over it, as well as the golden liquid drop . The aura that attracted him was coming from the liquid drop, which was also the mysterious power . However, he no longer had the chance to obtain it, for something even more alarming happened .
The God of Cooking’s Menu shook briefly, and then a stream of light shot out of it, sped across the air, and hit the God of Chef’s Challenge .
Rumble!
The God of Chef’s Challenge immediately let out a miserable howl . “Dammit! What power is this?!” With a horrified face, he watched as his body began to disintegrate and gradually turn into four beams of golden light .
Bu Fang watched in amazement . He didn’t know that the God of Cooking’s Menu had this kind of offensive technique .
The disintegrated divine sense of the God of Chef’s Challenge slowly turned into four masses of golden light . Then, the light faded away, revealing four steaming golden buns, which hovered in Bu Fang’s spirit sea .
Bu Fang was somewhat stunned . Buns? The divine sense of the God of Chef’s Challenge was made into buns? This was somewhat tragic…
“Yoho! Buddies, we have delicious food here!” Divine Dragon roared as soon as he saw the buns, his voice filled with excitement that could not be contained . The next moment, he sped forward, turned into a streak of golden light, and caught a bun with his mouth .
White Tiger put away his pride, gave a roar, and flew over . After getting himself a golden bun, he turned and left .
Even Vermilion Bird and Black Turtle, who was sleeping, could no longer keep their calm . It was as if these golden buns were extremely precious .
Before long, as Bu Fang watched in amazement, the buns made of the divine sense of the God of Chef’s Challenge were divided and eaten by the four Artifact Spirits . They even burped after finishing the buns .
“A great nourishment! This divine sense bun is really great! It’s been a long time since I tasted this bun!” Divine Dragon burst into tears of joy .
Bu Fang was speechless . ‘This fellow really knows how to act…’ he thought .
“Those are divine sense buns, which are made with the help of the God of Cooking’s Menu . They are great nourishment for us . Divine sense cannot be eaten, but it is edible after being processed by the God of Cooking’s Menu . After eating it, our power will grow stronger…” Black Turtle explained to Bu Fang .
After that, all four Artifact Spirits closed their eyes as if they were digesting the buns .
Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth and felt sad for the God of Chef’s Challenge, but only for one second . After that, he turned and left the spirit sea . Since the God was wiped out, the crisis of… no, the disturbance in his spirit sea was solved . He didn’t have to worry anymore .
The next moment, he returned to his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lord Dog and the others all staring at him .
“How is it?!” Lord Dog asked concernedly .
Di Ting craned his head with a gloating look on his face .
Bu Fang blinked . “What do you mean?” He was somewhat puzzled .
“The divine sense of the God of Chef’s Challenge . That fellow had broken into your spirit sea . Didn’t he wreak havoc in there?” Di Ting said impatiently . He seemed to be expecting Bu Fang to go mad .
A pity that Di Ting didn’t know how miserable the God of Chef’s Challenge was in Bu Fang’s spirit sea . As the divine sense of a God, he was actually refined into four buns and swallowed by the four Artifact Spirits .
If the God’s true-self knew what had happened, he would probably vomit blood in rage . However, he could only feel a stab of pain in his spirit, and his divine sense would become slightly weaker . He would not know the tragic ending of his divine sense .
“Oh, the God of Chef’s Challenge . Well, he was turned into buns and eaten,” Bu Fang said .
The crowd froze upon hearing that . The divine sense was turned into buns?
“Don’t think you can utter nonsense just because you’re a chef . Do you take us for fools?”
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth curved upward slightly . “I’m not lying . My spirit sea is not for ordinary people to enter casually . ”
Looking at the dissipating dark clouds, Bu Fang slowly raised a hand . The invisible Divine flame was burning over his fingers, and he used it to burn a rift in the void . Then, he stepped into it and headed toward Yellow Spring City .
Bu Fang had a feeling that if he mastered the invisible Divine flame, which had devoured two Laws, he could really slay a God .
…
Meanwhile, in the Immortal Cooking Realm…
The Immortal Tree’s branches slowly gathered and formed a vague figure . Hovering over the tree, the figure gazed into the distance with a deep look . Suddenly, all the branches and leaves began to shake . It was as though they were in fear of something!
Another figure flew over at high speed . It was Realm Lord Di Tai . He sensed the fear in the Immortal Tree, so he came to find out what was happening . He floated beside the figure made of branches and looked at the latter, puzzled .
“What’s the matter?” Naked, Realm Lord Di Tai flipped his golden hair and asked .
The figure slowly turned and looked at the Realm Lord with horror in his eyes .
That shocked Realm Lord Di Tai . It was the first time he had ever seen the Immortal Tree show such emotion .
The Immortal Tree swayed and said in a hoarse voice, “That man… is back!”
Fear swallowed him up like a huge wave .

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.

Just a Rock
There was once a writer that felt like creating a story about a rock. A rock so amazing that its story just needed to be told. How amazing? Not amazing at all, on the contrary, quite ordinary. Don't believe me? Then read on. Edit: Resumed the story. Can’t do any more audio versions for now. I plan on editing some of the now non-applicable author notes and maybe rearranging the two side stories or combining them with the deleted chapters.
