Chapter 246: Chapter 104 Seven-Section Worm
“Supreme Secret Technique?”
The elders’ words were crystal clear, and everyone present heard them distinctly, their eyes widening in disbelief.
“Destinies of Origin are divided into: Supreme and the Four Major Streams. What we comprehend are just the streams, even the Key’s Secret that the Heavenly Destiny Hall Master possesses is merely the strongest among them! The Supreme Secret Technique, however, can govern all streams, controlling the entire Destiny of Origin… How can someone comprehend it without a teacher?”
“Yes, besides the creator of Destiny of Origin, in countless years of the Source World’s history, no one has ever succeeded…”
Murong Feng and Xuanyuan Mu both trembled.
As super geniuses with a chance to inherit the Heavenly Mandate Hall, they naturally knew just how terrifying this so-called Supreme Secret Technique was!
Somehow, someone had comprehended it without even cultivating!
It was like possessing a strength surpassing the Galaxy Realm without even starting their practice!
Who could it be? And how did they achieve this?
“To the north of the mainland, check quickly for me, I need to know who possesses such talent. We must bring them to the headquarters for good training… Elder Mu, go fetch this person—never mind, I’ll go myself!”
The elder in the air called out loudly, waved his hand, and then vanished from his spot.
A super genius who could comprehend the Supreme Secret Technique, if trained well, would undoubtedly become the strongest existence in the current age, far surpassing even him. Such a person could not be allowed any mishaps!
…
Atop a huge mountain range in the Source World was a humble straw hut with smoke curling from its chimney.
From a distance, it looked like an ordinary mountain home or perhaps a usual hunter’s cabin, nothing out of the ordinary.
At that moment, an elder walked out, stepping into a pavilion just outside the door, and sat down at the stone table in the middle.
In front of him was a chessboard, covered with a variety of chess pieces.
“Let’s go with this one…”
Picking one casually, the elder slightly smiled, and the next moment, turned into a beam of light entering it.
Whoosh!
The space rotated, and within the chess piece, a world appeared in his vision; the sun and moon hung obliquely in the sky, The Firmament stretched endlessly, and countless beings toiled below. The interior of this chess piece was indeed like a world.
“Master!”
Seeing him appear, a middle-aged man flew up to him.
“Hmm!” The elder nodded in satisfaction, “How is the progress?”
“Master, we can now mass-produce storage rings with a diameter of 100 meters, but to develop larger spaces, we are still somewhat lacking…”
The middle-aged man looked kind of bashful.
“A diameter of 100 meters is already enough for Galaxy Realm powerhouses. Not bad, not bad, keep practicing well and strive to comprehend more of the Space Destiny…”
The elder smiled slightly, just about to continue speaking, when suddenly he sensed something and quickly looked up.
Above the chess piece space, a brilliant Destiny appeared abruptly as if made from countless twisted spaces, releasing a kaleidoscopically entrancing color.
This was the color unique to the fundamental origin of space; only when someone comprehends the most basic Space-Time Destiny can it resonate and reveal such a manifestation.
“Is this…someone comprehending the Space-Time Destiny?”
The elder’s eyes shone. “Quickly learn from these flowing lights; they will greatly aid your cultivation.”
“Yes!”
The youth hurriedly looked over, and in the blink of an eye, his aura surged forth, forming several dragon-shaped airwaves.
“Teacher, I—I’ve made a breakthrough!” the youth said, incredibly excited and incredulous all at once.
He had been stuck in place for more than ten years, thinking it would take several more years to break through even if possible. Yet, he did not expect that just by gazing at the flowing light above, he would directly succeed.
“This is the essence of Space-Time… Space Destiny, Time Destiny, they have always been comprehended separately by people for thousands of years. I never thought there would be someone who could practice both simultaneously. You stay here and solidify your cultivation level; I’m going to find this person right now!”
Whoosh!
As his words ended, the elder disappeared from the chess piece and appeared back in the pavilion, flipping over his wrist as a Destiny shot into the sky, pointing straight in one direction.
“Directly north, hahaha, this is my talented disciple, nobody else should compete with me…”
With a light flicker, the elder also vanished from the spot.
…
In a quiet bamboo forest, two elders suddenly appeared.
“Are you sure he’s here?” the green-clothed elder asked dubiously.
The bamboo forest in front of them looked quite ordinary, neither possessing rich Origin qi nor abundant Heavenly Mandate Vitality, seemingly nothing special.
“My Soul Chasing Technique is unmatched in the world. Once I’ve confirmed, there can’t be any mistake!”
The elder in black, on the right, lightly smiled, his eyes brimming with confidence.
“Hmm, let’s look around then!”
The green-clothed elder pushed through the bamboo and walked forward, not far ahead, he indeed saw an elder prostrating on the ground, his bottom raised, seemingly searching for something.
“Elder Zhou… what are you up to?”
Seeing the person was indeed here, the green-clothed elder expressed admiration while his face also showed confusion.
The strongest chef of the Origin World, instead of cooking, lying down in this bamboo forest, it looked absolutely bizarre no matter how one looked at it.
“Shush… keep quiet!” Elder Zhou turned his head and hurriedly signaled them to be silent with a gesture to not make any sound.
The green-clothed and black-clothed elders exchanged glances, still confused but they no longer spoke, quietly standing and waiting.
Elder Zhou stayed prostrating on the ground for a long time, suddenly lunging in midair and pulling out a thumb-sized bug from underground. Its body surged with seven to eight colors, struggling fiercely but seeming unable to escape.
“Hahaha… finally, I caught it!”
Watching the bug in his palm struggling continuously, Elder Zhou laughed excitedly.
“Elder Zhou, this is…?”
“This is a Seven-Section Worm, born from the absorption of the seven-colored essence of heaven and earth, likes to hide in bamboo roots, skilled in evasion, very rare, but extremely delicious in taste. I had half of one when I was young and have never forgotten it since. Ten years ago, I heard someone saw it here; I searched meticulously, even went so far as to plant thousands of acres of bamboo, just to lure it, and finally succeeded today…”
Elder Zhou’s face showed excitement.
“Ignoring the Cooking Hall, having left home for ten years without telling anyone… just to catch this Seven-Section Worm?”
The green-clothed elder’s eyes widened, full of disbelief.
Spending ten years for a taste experienced in youth, this guy must be crazy!
“Do you think I’m mad? Well, since you’re here, you should share. Once I’ve cooked it, have a taste… You’ll know then, not to mention ten years, even twenty or thirty years would be worth it to taste such a delicacy!”
Elder Zhou stroked his beard.
“Alright, we’ll taste this thing to see if it’s really as you say…”
The black-clothed elder nodded too.
“Hmm!”
Elder Zhou said no more, flipped his wrist, and a pile of cookware appeared in his palm, immediately followed by various exquisite ingredients.
Dragon heart, phoenix liver, Qilin meat… each could make countless powerhouses drool, yet now displayed as if carelessly.
“These… are all just ingredients?”
The black-clothed elder swallowed.
These delicacies, which they couldn’t normally taste, were taken out by the other side just to act as seasonings… If they were still doubtful about the taste of this Seven-Section Worm as the other side described, now they fully believed.
As the ingredients were successively cleared away, and cooking flames blazed, accompanied by a “sizzle,” the Seven-Section Worm hit the pot, and its rich fragrance immediately shot up to the sky, causing numerous birds to forget to flap their wings, “plonk! plonk!” falling straight down.
“Such an aroma…”
The green-clothed elder found himself salivating uncontrollably.
Prior to this, they were still uncertain about the other’s integrity; now, they had no doubts whatsoever.
Without even being cooked, it already smelled so heavenly; one could hardly imagine how delicious it would be when ready.
Ignoring the shocked pair, Elder Zhou continued cooking, and soon, a dish rich in color, fragrance, and taste was brought over.
“This is a dish that took me ten years of hard work to create, and now you really get to enjoy it…”
Elder Zhou laughed heartily and handed over two pairs of chopsticks.
The green and black-clothed elders nodded excitedly, picked up the chopsticks, just about to taste, when suddenly a bright light flashed in the sky, a destiny like a star incessantly twinkling.
“Is this… Destiny of Cooking? Someone actually comprehended the Destiny of Cooking?”
Elder Zhou was astonished, his chopsticks falling to the ground without him realizing.
“Destiny of Cooking?” the green-clothed elder froze: “You’ve comprehended this Destiny? Does this mean you have a successor?”
“Yes, my cooking skills, finally won’t perish because of me…”
Elder Zhou hurriedly stood up, and in an instant, he flew out.
“Hey, Elder Zhou, finish eating before you leave, this is the Seven-Section Worm you’ve spent ten years catching…”
The black-clothed elder looked bemused.
“Compared to such a talented successor, forget about the food I’ve spent ten years making, even if it took a hundred years, there’s no time to eat, you guys enjoy slowly, goodbye…”
A distant voice wafted over from far away.
“This guy…” Seeing him disappear in the blink of an eye, the green and black-clothed elders exchanged looks, both shaking their heads.
Really unlucky not to have his cooking!
The green-clothed elder picked up a piece of dragon heart, just about to put it in his mouth, when suddenly the sky also shook, a light as thin as mist emerged.
“Is this… someone comprehending the Destiny of Soul? Hahaha, my Soul Division is saved now!”
Dropping his chopsticks, the green-clothed elder also paid no heed to the delicious food, his figure flickering as he vanished from the spot.
“This…”
Seeing these two men turn and run, the black-clothed elder shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment: “I don’t know whether to call your luck good or bad! But… if someone comprehended the Destiny of Poison, I’d definitely run even faster than you!”
Sighing, he too just about to eat when the sky once again shone with a light, seeing this, his body uncontrollably trembled.
“Someone actually comprehended… wait for me!”
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed elder too rushed over, leaving only the fragrant Seven-Section Worm in the bamboo grove in disarray: Am I seriously going to die for nothing?
