Chapter 1249

Although the canteen still had Zhu Wu, as well as the three alliance leaders of the Spirit Cook Alliance and a host of spirit cooks.

But Ye Zhangqing wasn't there, and to the disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi and the various powerful beings, that meant the canteen was closed.

Even Zhu Wu and the three elders of the Spirit Cook Alliance have improved their skills by leaps and bounds now, a world of difference from before, yet they still fall far short compared to Ye Zhangqing.

Ordinary cultivators might find it decent, but for those of them who are used to fine fare, how could they stomach coarse food?

But there was nothing they could do, after all, whether Ye Zhangqing was present or not wasn't up to them to decide, and if he had business, you couldn't stop him.

Inside the canteen was a chorus of wails, while Ye Zhangqing at this moment was busy to his heart's content.

To prepare this demon emperor's ingredients, Ye Zhangqing pulled out all the stops.

Besides the main ingredient, every other seasoning and condiment used was the finest, even the treasures kept at the bottom of the chest were brought out.

Hong Zun, Qi Xiong, Yu Mo and the others could only stand by anxiously.

Tasks like washing vegetables and cutting meat, which they could have helped with before, Ye Zhangqing refused outright this time.

From start to finish, Ye Zhangqing did all the chopping himself.

For this meal, Ye Zhangqing could be said to have paid too much.

And this busyness lasted a full three days; only after three days did he manage to finish the meal.

At the same time, Yun Xiantai had adjusted his condition; that evening, he sat alone at the table, gazing at a table full of delicious dishes.

He hadn't even tasted it yet, but just the aroma wafting over him was enough to make Yun Xiantai unable to help himself from becoming intoxicated.

This is more fragrant than the usual meals; even the few private meals Yun Xiantai has had before pale in comparison.

This is also normal; in the past, even when it was a private meal, Ye Zhangqing wouldn't be this serious—he'd just go through the motions, and any trivial prep work was simply dumped on Zhu Wu and the others.

Ye Zhangqing only handled the final preparation, so the flavor naturally couldn't compare to now.

You should know, during these three days Ye Zhangqing basically didn't rest, staying by the stove the whole time, controlling every heat level and flavor to the utmost.

Unable to help swallowing his saliva, Yun Xiantai glanced at the side where Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Shi Qingfeng and the others were already drooling, and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Well... then I won't stand on ceremony?"

"Get lost, hurry up and eat, don't fucking hook me."

Hearing that, Shi Qingfeng immediately snapped angrily, saying these three days had been pure torture for them.

One part of them had to endure that irresistible aroma, which kept growing richer, making them itch with longing.

But on the other hand, they couldn't eat it—such deliciousness, they could only look, not eat; isn't that torture?

But since it concerned a major matter of the Emperor Sovereign Realm, everyone could only bear it.

Fortunately, Ye Zhangqing promised that after Yun Xiantai finished eating and closed his cultivation, he would make another meal for everyone to feast on, and only then did they manage to suppress their urges.

Heaven knows how much they sacrificed to endure it; at this moment Yun Xiantai took advantage and acted cute, which instantly made everyone's teeth itch with anger.

Seeing that, Yun Xiantai said no more.

"Then I'll start eating; don't worry, after I break through, I'll definitely get another demon emperor ingredient for you all to try."

"Hurry up and eat, I'm going out for a walk."

No longer wanting to stay here, Shi Qingfeng gritted his teeth, cursed, and immediately turned and left the room.

He feared that if he stayed longer, he truly wouldn't be able to hold back.

Seeing that, the others also left one after another; this damn thing is unbearable to watch.

After everyone left, Yun Xiantai ate to his heart's content; as the food entered his belly, a stream of pure energy instantly burst forth, flowing through his meridians to every part of his body.

It felt wonderful; this power was stronger than any heavenly treasure Yun Xiantai had ever consumed before.

Not only did it impose no burden on his body, but it was also extremely easy to absorb.

Most importantly, this power was immense; using it to aid his assault on the Emperor Sovereign Realm gave Yun Xiantai added confidence.

Yun Xiantai thoroughly enjoyed this meal; every dish on the full table went into his stomach.

Meanwhile, at the Dongfang Family's headquarters, Dongfang Hong stared in shock at a Dongfang Family emperor seated below him.

For the past few days he had been wondering, where did Yun Xiantai get that great medicine from?

The Haotu World shouldn't be able to give birth to an Emperor Sovereign‑level great medicine, right?

In other words, expecting him to break through with a ball of yarn is outright impossible, right?

But at this moment, that Dongfang Family emperor below him said to him, Yun Xiantai has already found the great medicine and has begun secluded cultivation to break through.

Hearing that, Dongfang Hong's face showed utter disbelief.

"You're saying Yun Dao really has an Emperor Sovereign‑level great medicine in his hand?"

"Hmm."

"Where did he get it from?"

"From that demon emperor who was captured alive earlier."

"Hmm???"

As soon as those words were spoken, Dongfang Hong went completely dumbfounded—you're saying the great medicine is a demon tribe demon emperor?

He stood there stunned, silent for a long time; Dongfang Hong never imagined that the great medicine Yun Xiantai found would be that demon tribe demon emperor.

But upon second thought, it actually isn't impossible—after all, a demon emperor is of Emperor Sovereign cultivation, and demon tribes often break through to Emperor Sovereign by directly feasting on other powerful beings.

So Yun Xiantai treating the demon emperor as a great medicine isn't really a problem—after all, in the Haotu World demon tribes are basically ingredients, and he's eaten them many times before; the taste aside, it's truly top‑notch.

"This guy.................."

He shook his head; Dongfang Hong no longer knew what to say.

Yun Xiantai began his closed‑door cultivation, and after eating the delicious meal Ye Zhangqing prepared, Shi Qingfeng, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun and the others also left the Dong Fu.

After all, no one knows how long breaking through to Emperor Sovereign will take, so they can't stay here indefinitely.

Nevertheless, two elders were left behind to guard Yun Xiantai, holding the fort in the Dong Fu, just in case anything happened.

Although it's not very likely that anything will happen.

Also, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun and the others, whenever they have time, they also come personally to take a look.

Ye Zhangqing also returned to the Canteen, just as before, continuing to laze.

Days passed one by one, and the breakthroughs at Dao Yi Shengdi did not end as time went on.

Although it's not as exaggerated as before, with more than ten heavenly tribulations a day, they still appear from time to time.

Moreover, this is sustained, not a sudden burst; it can be said that the strength of Dao Yi Shengdi, and even the entire Human Race, is steadily increasing.

Under the dual support of Merit Power and Luck Power, the strength of the Human Race has indeed increased tremendously.

As for Great Emperor experts, after Shi Song and Hong Zun, Lin Potian and Qin Shan Hai also broke through one after another in the following half year.

Both Yunluo Shengdi and Yaochi Shengdi likewise each had an Elder who broke through to the Cultivation: Great Emperor Realm.

In just a few short years, the number of Great Emperor experts among the Human Race has nearly doubled, completely widening the gap with other races.
