Chapter 801

With the addition of the Talisman Master Alliance and the Formation Master Alliance, progress sped up considerably again.

Moreover, looking at it, it's not just a big change; at the very least, there's no trace of its former appearance, and the people from the two alliances were also a little shocked.

Take a look at the current Ten Thousand Demon Pass; where is there any hint of desolation?

Mountains, rivers, lakes, bamboo forests, flower seas, countless streams crisscrossing; the scenery is exquisitely beautiful, almost like a paradise beyond the world.

"This...... aren't you afraid the Demon Race will attack when the time comes?"

Naturally, one knows all this was done by the sheer power of numerous saints, Great Saints, and possibly even a Great Emperor personally acting, to move these mountains, rivers, and lakes here.

The scenery is indeed beautiful, but after all this is the Ten Thousand Demon Pass, with the Demon Race's territory just beyond the wall—aren't you afraid they'll attack and destroy all this?

As for that, nobody had even considered it—not even the disciples of the affiliated sects, who weren't the slightest bit worried.

Come on, with the Dao Yi Sect guarding here, could the Demon Race even break in? They'd be wiped out before they could.

So from the start, everyone just did whatever looked good, without worrying about the cost.

Within Zhongzhou's Human Race territory, nearly half of any scenic spot worth seeing has been moved to the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Demon Pass.

Everyone was diligently doing their own work.

Before they knew it, a morning's time had passed.

A group of Formation Masters who had been engraving formations, including those from the two holy lands, glanced at the time, and each showed a hint of anxiety in their eyes.

"What are they doing?"

As for that, the Formation Master Alliance members were somewhat puzzled; this group seemed strange, as if they'd been counting the time, almost expecting something.

"You guys are............"

Curiously asking, upon hearing that, the people from the two holy lands didn't think much and replied offhand.

"Wait for the meal."

"Meal?"

The Formation Master Alliance members were dumbfounded—you're all eighth- and ninth-rank Formation Masters, what meal are you talking about? Haven't you already given up grains?

Besides, as people of the holy lands, what could you still be missing? You've eaten every mountain delicacy and seafood imaginable.

Full of suspicion, but before the Formation Master Alliance members could think further, the old man leading them let out a loud shout.

"Time's up."

In an instant, the Formation Masters of the two holy lands vanished like rabbits.

"Holy shit..........."

Just a moment ago we were working together, turn around and they're gone.

"What's up with this bunch?"

"They probably went to eat."

"Even if that's the case, there's no need to rush like that—what kind of meal is it?"

"Who knows."

It's just strange—it's only a meal, what's so remarkable about it, acting as if they've never eaten before.

I felt a bit contemptuous, but didn't think much of it.

But as the afternoon and the following days went by, whenever mealtime came, the people from the two holy lands would instantly disappear.

As this happened more often, the Talisman Master Alliance and Formation Master Alliance members grew increasingly curious—what kind of food is this, capable of stealing souls or what?

After all, you're supposed to be strong cultivators from the holy lands—how can you be so lowbrow?

Driven by curiosity, the members of the two alliances finally couldn't resist investigating; at mealtime they followed the two holy lands' people all the way to the makeshift kitchen that had been set up.

It was quite large; as they approached, the two alliances' members caught a whiff of an enticing aroma.

"This aroma..............."

Unable to resist, they inhaled deeply; the aroma instantly refreshed their spirits, making it somewhat clear why the two holy lands' people vanished at mealtime.

Following that aroma, the Talisman Master Alliance and Formation Master Alliance members hurried to the canteen's location.

Looking over, they saw a dense crowd of people casually squatting on the open ground, heartily eating the food in their bowls.

The conditions were rather crude, but that didn't stop these people from eating with relish.

Moreover, that aroma constantly drifted into their noses, making them unable to resist the urge to eat.

"It looks delicious."

"It's definitely good—with that aroma, it can't be far off."

"I see the people from the two holy lands are eating; can we join in too?"

"Sure, we're all here to help—there's no reason we shouldn't get a share."

"These guys are really sneaky, keeping this good thing from us."

"Exactly, exactly—let's not talk anymore, let's first taste the flavor."

"Come on, come on, let's go together."

Under the aroma's temptation, the two alliances' members also strode toward the kitchen, but after just a few steps they were stopped by an elder of the Spirit Chef Alliance.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"This is for the Dao Yi Sect disciples and the strong cultivators of the two holy lands; others aren't qualified."

"Why? We're all here to help—why can't we eat?"

Hearing that, the faces of the Talisman Masters and Formation Masters all turned ugly—this seems a bit like bullying.

However, the elder's expression remained unchanged as he said.

"This is the Dao Yi Sect's canteen; Dao Yi Sect disciples naturally can eat—no objection, right?"

"Yeah."

As for the two great holy lands, that's because they didn't charge any labor fees, so naturally they had to provide meals.

As for you all, the Upper Sect had already negotiated the price, and had even prepaid half the money, so naturally they didn't provide meals.

It was reasonable and well-founded; the people of the two great alliances could find no reason to refute.

But seeing these people eating so deliciously before them, and the aroma in the air, it became increasingly unbearable.

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Um, would it work if we paid to buy it?

Sorry, the canteen's food is not sold to outsiders.

Disappointed, they left; originally this wasn't a big deal, but unfortunately, the next morning's breakfast was buns, and someone couldn't bear to finish them, planning to keep them as snacks.

But unfortunately, a person from the two great alliances took a bite.

This directly exploded.

Not only was the taste irresistible, but eating it made the two great alliances astonished as if seeing heavenly beings—could there still be such delicious food above?

Moreover, moreover... damn, the effect is also incredibly explosive.

That night, the people of the two great alliances gathered listlessly, each with a bitter expression.

Sigh, that food was really too delicious.

Yeah, but what can we do? We've already taken the money.

What are you talking about?

Just then, the alliance leader of the Talisman Master Alliance, who was in charge of leading the team, walked over upon hearing this; everyone's eyes lit up, and the craftiest among them carefully took out a carefully preserved bun from his bosom.

First they simply explained the matter to the alliance leader, and then they let him taste it himself.

At first he was somewhat dismissive, but as soon as the bun entered his stomach, the Talisman Master Alliance's alliance leader was completely stunned.

He looked as if he still wanted more; only after a while did he speak with a face full of shock.

You just said, this bun was made by the Dao Yi Sect's canteen?

Exactly, and the Dao Yi Sect's canteen also serves three meals a day; those old fogeys of the two great holy lands, whenever mealtime comes, each of them acts like they've gone crazy.
