Chapter 22: Awakening Divine Abilities

Before long, Marshal Tianpeng finished an entire plate of Braised Pork, and in the end he even pulled a clean-plate move — cleaner than the way Sun Wukong ate.

One plate down, and Tianpeng was still unsatisfied; this portion wasn't even enough to stick in Marshal Tianpeng's teeth.

"Uh, Shopkeeper, bring me another plate, I'll pay!" Tianpeng said with an excited face yet shrinking his neck.

Faced with such an unfathomable person, Tianpeng didn't know what to call him.

"Each person, only one dish per day!" Chen Nuo said blandly.

One sentence instantly struck Tianpeng like a bolt from the blue; his entire immortal life was filled with gloom, but he lacked the courage to protest.

That Innate Kitchen Knife, flowing with radiant light and of extraordinary quality, was being fiddled with carefully in Chen Nuo's hands.

Come again tomorrow, Tianpeng sighed inwardly, and just as he was about to stand up and leave, his whole body suddenly shook, his face full of bewilderment.

His bottom settled firmly back onto the chair, eyes tightly shut, hands forming some inexplicable Dharma seal, striking a pose.

Then he didn't move a muscle.

"Ding, Marshal Tianpeng consumed Braised Pork, awakened Divine Communication 'Dead Pig Fears Not Boiling Water', synchronize awakening?"

"Holy shit, it's actually Zhu Bajie?!"

Chen Nuo was slightly stunned, looking at the stout, even somewhat obese man before him, he nodded thoughtfully.

His face both simple and crafty, clad in a suit of precious armor — he indeed had a bit of that look, and the Divine Communication this Bajie awakened was no ordinary one either.

Chen Nuo clicked his tongue in wonder — it was actually a defensive method.

But unlike common mana-barrier defenses and the Buddhist Sect's renowned Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, this one leaned more toward physical body toughness.

In a short time stacking defensive power to an extremely terrifying degree, and with no restriction on movement whatsoever — truly an eminently practical Divine Communication!

However, Chen Nuo curled his lip, still rather speechless — this Divine Communication's name is just too down-to-earth, isn't it?

And when this Divine Communication is deployed, the whole body takes on the color of a roast pig — this Bajie and pigs really do have a destiny.

But, Chen Nuo still shook his head: "I refuse!"

Using this thing might win the battle, but you lose face — he, Chen Nuo, is a dignified person!

After another long while, Tianpeng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of shock, mouth gaping wide.

Too strong — he actually awakened a Divine Communication, and all because of a plate of Braised Pork!

Eating food can awaken a Divine Communication — if this were told, everyone would think he'd gone mad, yet such a thing actually came true.

Right now he couldn't wait to immediately unleash this Divine Communication, but inside this shop Tianpeng didn't dare act rashly in the slightest.

A miracle, this is absolutely a miracle — this Shopkeeper must be a hidden expert!

Such means, he had never heard of.

"Many thanks, Cultivation Clan Honorific, for bestowing this Divine Communication!" Tianpeng could thrive in the Heavenly Court not only because of his status as a Three Teachings Disciple of the Ren Sect, but also inseparable from his clever perceptiveness.

Chen Nuo waved a hand, saying indifferently: "Nothing to do with me; being able to comprehend something from my dishes is Bajie's own Opportunity."

"Bajie?" Tianpeng was momentarily bewildered.

"Mm, just calling you that — feels natural to say it this way."

Tianpeng proved tactful, laughing heartily: "Then Cultivation Clan Honorific can call me Bajie from now on."

Gaining such a big shot's appreciation, soaring success is just around the corner!

"Mm." Chen Nuo nodded indifferently, "And don't call me Cultivation Clan Honorific — call me Shopkeeper Chen."

That detached temperament made even Tianpeng admire him deeply, and intense regret welled in his heart.

Had he known this was such a heaven-defying big shot, he wouldn't have dared adopt that attitude even if beaten to death — originally trading a Golden Immortal Dharma Treasure for such delicious food was already well worth it.

Now he'd even comprehended a Divine Communication — simply a blood profit!

"Shopkeeper Chen,

can I still come eat here in the future?" Tianpeng savored the Braised Pork's flavor in his mouth — truly an aftertaste lingering on lips and teeth.

Pig really is a Good Thing.

Chen Nuo nodded, tidying up Tianpeng's bowl and chopsticks: "Yes, but still only one dish per day."

Tianpeng nodded repeatedly, overjoyed — if he ate here every day and managed to awaken a few more Divine Communications, he'd be fucking awesome.

And even if he didn't awaken any, this level of delicious enjoyment made the trip worthwhile.

However, Tianpeng frowned again — he didn't have many Golden Immortal Dharma Treasures left, looks like he'd have to find a way to get more.

Thinking of this, Tianpeng couldn't sit still, hurriedly stood up, and bid farewell to Chen Nuo.

With such great fortune, Tianpeng no longer had the heart to go play in Ren Jian; he mounted a cloud and flew toward the Heavenly Court.

En route Tianpeng couldn't hold back, tried out the 'Dead Pig Fears Not Boiling Water' Divine Communication, watching himself turn brownish-red.

Then he took out his exclusive Dharma Treasure, the Nine-Tooth Rake, and ruthlessly smashed it hard against his own arm — instantly a clang of metal on metal rang out.

Didn't hurt at all!

Tianpeng was overjoyed, confidence instantly skyrocketing — with this life-saving Divine Communication, isn't all Between Heaven and Earth his to roam?

Still, he needed to go get some Dharma Treasures — just where to get them?

Tianpeng pondered — his Dharma Treasures could last a while, but where was that enough?

One day without eating and he felt awful all over, but Tianpeng didn't immediately go searching.

Because he knew his Urgent Matter should be returning to his Marshal's Mansion to calm his mind and properly consolidate this newly comprehended Divine Communication.

Although this Divine Communication's name is a bit hard to say out loud, Tianpeng doesn't care — as long as it's strong, that's fine.

Usable means a good Divine Communication!

On the other side, Chen Nuo took out the Yu Yuan Zhu Tianpeng paid with, then mobilized mana to control water flow to automatically wash the bowls and chopsticks Tianpeng left behind.

Looking at the result, Chen Nuo nodded in satisfaction — this thing's killing power may be lacking, but it's still quite useful.

And the mana consumption is also quite tiny.

Chen Nuo's thoughts drifted — the Monkey left, then a Pig came; he really does have karma with the Journey to the West people.

It's just a pity his Power Level is still too Weak; restricted by the system, under Normal Situation he cannot leave this Chaos Residence half a step unless he reaches Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Otherwise, he also wants to wander around this colorful Journey to the West world.

He only hopes these few people who have come can publicize more, letting the name of this Chaos Residence thoroughly resound throughout the entire Three Realms.

Otherwise, with only these few people having come so far, how can his Power Level be Elevated?

This Dharma Power's Spiritual improvement, every single Cultivation Realm is a Multiply increase.

And At This Moment, the Heavenly Court, compared to usual, at this Moment on the Great Hall, there is one more immortal.

Wearing a king's robe, head has Dragon horns.

Only see that person walk out of the ranks, cup fists and say: "Imperial Report Jade Emperor, at the Nanhai shore a Taiyi Realm Demon Race has Occurred, Old Dragon is no match, Petition Jade Emperor dispatch immortals to exterminate it!" South Sea Dragon King with a face full of grief bows toward Haotian on the Great Hall Treasure Seat.

That demon thing relies on having Taiyi Golden Immortal Cultivation Realm, runs rampant in Nanhai without Jealousy, he is no match, even calling his three Younger Brothers together they are not Rival.

Moreover all were beaten injured.

Taiyi Realm?

Haotian expression indifferent, casually flips through other immortals' presented Imperial Edicts, opens mouth and says: "It's a sea matter, then let the Navy go."

"South Sea Dragon King, you go select some personnel."
