They had a hotpot meal with smoke all over. Their faces had flushed red and they were enjoying it with pleasure.

Of course, the Empress and Jade Emperor maintained their images. Even before the good food, they did not lose their calm. They remained elegant and expensive. They only ate the food Cheng Yi had scooped into their bowls while making a face as if they were doing her a favor.

Halfway in, the Empress suddenly said, “Jade Emperor, do you taste something?”

“What?”

The Jade Emperor who was munching halted. He reached his chopsticks into the hot to stir the broth.

“Other than being delicious, what else is there in the pot?”

The Empress’s face sank. She scoffed, “Stop fooling around. It’s the Path!”

Cheng Yi was perplexed. She could not help asking, “There’s a…Path in there?”

“Indeed.” The Jade Emperor put another piece of meat into his mouth. After munching for a moment, his face turned serious as he said, “There are three thousand Paths. Eating’s related to the prolonging of thousands of thousands of lives. Thus, it’s Wisdom. Back then, the Food God in the Heavenly Temple took this Path. However, compared to this hotpot, the Path of the Food God must’ve been wrong. He turned the food into trash.”

Cheng Yi and the Empress’s faces sank. They quietly put down the chopsticks in hand.

The Empress’s eyes glared at him as she scoffed, “Jade Emperor! Put down your chopsticks. You’re not allowed to eat anymore!”

“Don’t, it’s my fault,” the Jade Emperor pleaded without caring for his image anymore. He then changed the topic and analyzed, “The so-called Food Path, although it’s not as destructive as the other three thousand Paths, it’s still a very…very terrifying Wisdom.”

Cheng Yi halted. She did not feel anything though.

She asked with curiosity, “How terrifying?”

The Jade Emperor squinted his eyes and said, “How do you feel when you’re having the hotpot?”

Cheng Yi tried her best to recall. “Very satisfied, very blissful, and…like…”

The Empress added, “Do you feel that the person making the food is someone nice? Someone you want to get closer to, or even become friends with?”

“Yes, it seems to be it.” Cheng Yi opened her eyes wide. She cried out in shock, “What you meant was that eating this will affect one’s thinking?”

“This is only a small part of it.”

The Jade Emperor shook his head as he continued, “The reason behind this is because the person making the food is kind-hearted. Therefore, the Wisdom in the food is not harmful and is friendly. However…if the food made by this person contained violence, although the taste would be the same, those eating it would turn cruel. If the food contained desire, those eating it would become the puppets of the chef!”

Cheng Yi gasped with disbelief, “So scary!?”

“Scarier than that! This Path could directly affect one’s Insights!” the Empress said with a complex tone. “Eating has always been the basic desire of everyone. Once this desire is enlarged, one would agree to do anything to eat it! This person’s Insights are so terrifying and powerful that if he did anything, the Jade Emperor and I would’ve been harmed.”

The Jade Emperor nodded. “Indeed, my Insights are nothing in front of this person. I can be easily attacked. I wonder if the Saints back in the days were even able to resist him.”

Clap!

The meat in Cheng Yi’s hand fell on the floor. Her scalp was itching. “This…this…this…”

She knew that the expert Ziye met was extraordinary. However, her knowledge had restricted her imagination. After hearing what the Jade Emperor and Empress analyzed, she was shocked to find out that eating had such Wisdom. Her heart was beating rapidly.

“Don’t worry, we can tell that this person is friendly. It’s not only harmless, it’s actually beneficial to us.” The Jade Emperor laughed as he picked up another piece of meat.

The Empress was shocked. “Who would’ve thought that someone in this world could actually gain so much Food Path? Since when did we have such a Saint in the world?”

Cheng Yi remained stunned for a very long time. After a while, she said, biting her tongue, “Empress, that’s not all about this expert.”

The Empress was curious. “Why do you say so?”

“I heard from Ziye…”

Instantly, Cheng Yi repeated what Ziye said to her. She thought Ziye was exaggerating things before but now she believed her.

As Cheng Yi spoke, the Jade Emperor and the Empress’s faces were constantly changing. They were moved and did not see it coming. They felt their hair standing and finally gasped.

Gasp…

He easily became a Deluxe Merit Saint, vanquished the Calamitous Black Lotus into reincarnation, and the Buddha statue he carved became the eighteen levels of Hell. He appointed a Human Sovereign, used fireworks to defeat two Daluo Golden Immortals, and the most terrifying part of all was his backyard and boxes full of Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!

All of these thoroughly moved both the Jade Emperor and Empress. Even though they had special identities and experiences, they never dared to dream about these even in their dreams. These were too unrealistic to even think about.

These were no longer Food Paths, this was doing anything he felt like doing!

The Empress gasped and stood up instantly. She asked with a trembling voice, “Are you sure his backyard’s full of Spiritual Roots? The oranges and apples had become Spiritual Roots?!”

Cheng Yi nodded. “Indeed, Seventh Sister gave me a few oranges, they’re definitely Spiritual Roots!”

The Empress looked at the Jade Emperor. She tried her best to cover it but her voice was still shaking, “Jade Emperor, do you think Dao Zu could turn things into Spiritual Roots?”

“Apparently not!” The Jade Emperor shook his head. He stood up and started walking. He was not calm anymore. “Spiritual Roots were made by nature. They came with the world. In other words, they were made when Pangu opened up and made the world. Unless…this man’s like God Pangu and he can create lives!”

In other words…a figure as Godly as Pangu had arrived in this Prehistoric World?

Terrifying. Strange!

The three exchanged looks. None of them spoke. They were trying to digest the shock in them.

Even the Empress was stunned and perplexed. She said, “Jade Emperor, where’s…Dao Zu? Does he know about this?”

The Jade Emperor shook his head. “As you know, he hasn’t come back after leaving five years ago. We lost contact.”

The Empress asked caringly, “Did your Seventh Sister speak of how close she is to the expert? She’s a silly girl. I hope she didn’t offend him.”

“Seventh Sister claims to have a good relationship with the expert. She didn’t offend him.” Cheng Yi shook her head. She halted and asked, “However, I heard from Seventh Sister that the expert has a particular interest in seeds. He even asked her to look out for some for him. He wanted to plant it in his backyard.”

“Special seeds? I do have them!” The Empress did not hesitate to flip her wrist. Two seeds appeared in her hands. She had a nostalgic look on as she said, “These are the Flat Peach and Yellow Plum seeds. If the expert wants it, hurry and send them over.”

Cheng Yi halted. She hesitated and said, “Empress, these…”

She knew that the Empress would zone out staring at these seeds from time to time. These seeds contained her memories and meant a lot to her.

The Empress waved it off, willing to give them out. She pestered, “There’s nothing to hesitate. There aren’t many chances for us to help an expert like him. It’s a privilege to give him something. Hurry up and bring this to your Seventh Sister!”

“Yes!” Cheng Yi nodded and left with the seeds.

Seeing that Cheng Yi had left, the Jade Emperor and Empress exchanged a look. They were equally shocked.

The Empress could not help saying, “It’s a big thing. The expert Ziye met is probably going to turn the world upside down.”

“Changing the world…it could be a blessing or a disaster.” The Jade Emperor sighed and sat down again. He looked at the hotpot.

“The meat’s ready. Don’t waste the vegetables. Hmm? There are some chives. I need to try them.”

…

Time passed like water. Five days had passed.

At the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

Early in the morning.

Li Nianfan woke up early like usual. When he opened his bedroom door and saw the lively scene in his yard, he could not help smiling and shaking his head.

Daji was making buns with the rest of them.

Recently, they had decided to wake up early in the morning to master the art of making buns.

They did make some improvements, a big improvement indeed. At least on the surface level, the appearance of the buns was alright.

“Brother, brother, look at this!”

When Dragin saw that Li Nianfan had come out, her eyes sparkled as she ran over with a small dough. She cried out with excitement, “Guess what this is?”

The dough in her hand was not shaped like a bun. She decided to roll it into another shape.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “This is a small snake.”

“Dragon! It’s a dragon!” Dragin protested. “Look, it has four legs!”

“Brother Nianfan, look at mine!” Nanan walked over with another dough.

Li Nianfan shook his head. He said honestly, “It’s not right. At least I’ve never seen anyone’s face as flat as this.”

With that, he glanced at the steamer and noticed that they had not steamed the buns. He let out a sigh of relief as he said, “We haven’t been to the Fallen Town for a long time. Why don’t we get breakfast there?”

Recently they had been having buns made by Daji and all for breakfasts. Although they were not too bad, they were not too good either. The taste had never changed. Most importantly, they had been eating the same thing for so many days. Li Nianfan needed a change.

Dragin was confused. “To the Fallen Town? I was going to steam this small dragon. I wonder what it tastes like.”

Nanan nodded, “Yeah, I want to try making my mini-man, too!”

“Yeah, the ones you made won’t taste good anyway. When we come home, I’ll teach you all how to make them.” Li Nianfan smiled and ruffled their heads. “If Nuwa was like you all back then when molding the humans, perhaps the humans would end up looking like demons.”
