Chapter 1162

White light descended, bathing everyone in its glow; they felt their ears sharpen, their vision clear, and their minds become hundreds of times more agile, instantly transforming them into geniuses.

"This is…" Shi Huang's expression turned astonished, "this is Master Taixuan bestowing blessings upon us all. Village Chief, quickly transmit the cultivation method to everyone—this blessing lasts three days, more than enough to let everyone 【3】 reach a high realm."

He has cultivated to a very high realm.

"Good." The Village Chief was overjoyed, "Thank you, Ancestral Master for the blessing. Don't you all thank the Ancestral Master?"

"Thank you, Ancestral Master!"

Everyone bowed again; this time, their gratitude was sincere and wholehearted.

They truly accepted this mysteriously appeared Ancestral Master.

After finishing this, the Village Chief stepped forward and personally transmitted the cultivation method to each person.

Of course, to ensure the method's secrecy, the Village Chief only transmitted the technique up to the Yin-Yang realm.

"When you reach the Yin-Yang realm, come to me for the next part of the method."

"Yes."

Everyone's talent had suddenly increased a thousandfold; as they responded to the Village Chief, they also meditated on the cultivation method within their minds.

The more they contemplated it, the deeper their smiles became.

"Incredibly profound—no wonder it's the supreme divine art bestowed by the Ancestral Master!"

"With this method, I too can become an immortal!"

Excited, everyone found a spot, sat cross-legged, activated the method, and drew in the essence of heaven and earth.

Time passed swiftly; half a day quickly vanished.

Boom—

In the void, masses of dark clouds gathered.

"The heavenly tribulation has arrived!"

"I'll go first!"

Suddenly, a figure leapt upward, landing outside the village and drawing down his own heavenly tribulation.

Boom—

Silver serpents struck him, blackening his skin slightly, yet he remained completely unharmed, vigorous and lively, continuing to cultivate below, drawing in the tribulation's energy 【25】 to further strengthen his power.

The quantity continues to increase his strength.

"This heavenly tribulation is excellent—cultivating within it speeds up progress immensely!"

The one undergoing the tribulation looked toward the village and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, those who had still been fearful now flew out of the village one by one, drawing down their own heavenly tribulations.

In moments,

Outside Shi Village, hundreds of li across, dark clouds filled the sky, raining down dense torrents of heavenly lightning.

Unlike ordinary cultivators who face near-certain death during tribulation, these people cried out in agony yet their voices carried joy, as if celebrating a festival.

By evening,

Every person in Shi Village had at least cultivated to the peak of True Qi realm; those with stronger talent had even reached the Five Elements realm, gaining immensely formidable power.

This world still stood in ancient times, where the essence of heaven and earth was extraordinarily abundant—not only nurturing divine birds and strange beasts, but also greatly benefiting cultivation.

"Village Chief, we no longer need to fear those strange beasts!"

"Indeed. With our current strength, we can roam the Great Wilderness at will!"

"Village Chief, give the order—let's go hunting."

Hearing this, the Village Chief grew serious and shook his head: "We still have enough food. Wait until we run out before we hunt. These three days are the Ancestral Master's blessing—how could we 【39】 waste them on hunting?"

Waste on hunting?

"But I want to hunt something to offer the Ancestral Master."

The Village Chief paused, glancing at Shi Huang.

Shi Huang shook his head: "Master Taixuan said there's no need to go to such trouble—he lacks nothing. If you truly wish to show gratitude, wait until the three days are over."

"If the Ancestral Master says so, then we'll follow his words!"

Hearing this, everyone suppressed their desires.

After speaking, the group resumed their cultivation.

Since the blessing period was precious, no one rested—they cultivated continuously for three days, only stopping when the extraordinary state faded.

At this point, the strength of the people of Shi Village had undergone a dramatic transformation.

The weakest were now at the Divine Power realm; Shi Huang himself had reached the peak of the Yin-Yang realm, and every gesture he made radiated boundless aura, giving the impression of perfect natural harmony.

"Good, good, good!" The Village Chief, seeing their growth, was deeply satisfied. "With this power, there is no longer any danger in the Great Wilderness. My sons, march out and hunt—to thank the Ancestral Master!"

"Yes."

Their voices roared like thunder; groups of a few each surged outward.

Chat group.

Shi Huang: "【Red Packet】Master Taixuan, these are the strange beasts we hunted—meant to thank you."

Zhang Taixuan: "I've received them. Liu Maoxing, prepare these items and distribute them to everyone."

Liu Maoxing: "Yes, Ancestral Master, I'll do it right away."

Liu Maoxing: "【Red Packet】"

Su Xiao: "??? So fast?"

Liu Maoxing: "Don't forget I'm a immortal. Immortals cook quickly."

Hu Yifei: "It seems Little Chef's power has grown rapidly lately. Huh? This dish tastes even better than before?"

Liu Maoxing: "All thanks to the Cuisine Dao."

King of the Jungle: "Huh, this is delicious—tastier than that Blood Orchid!"

Feng Chengcheng: "No wonder it's a god's dish—it's truly extraordinary. After eating this, no mortal cuisine will ever satisfy me again."
