"Emperor, you will definitely have the chance to enter the Ancestral Court. After this war, not only will the Heavenly Court extend you an invitation, but the Human Ancestral Court will too. By then, entry into the Primordial Continent will be natural."
Wandering Immortal (Zhuang Zhou) spoke with calm certainty.
There was no doubt in his voice—Yi Tianxing's identity and status had reached the point where entering the Primordial Continent was simply a matter of course.
"Immortal, could you tell me more about the Primordial Continent? So that when I go there in the future, I won't be completely ignorant."
Yi Tianxing wouldn't miss this opportunity to learn from a true Great Power, even if this was merely a manifestation or avatar.Knowledge and experience were lifelong treasures—not to be wasted.
"Very well. There's no harm in telling you about it."
Wandering Immortal didn't refuse.After revealing the existence of the Heavenly Court and Ancestral Court, he clearly wasn't planning to keep the deeper secrets hidden any longer.
"The Primordial Continent is a chaotic land of myriad powerful factions.Not only are there ancient sects of Immortals and Demons, but also supreme forces such as:
the Ancient Heavenly Court,
the Ancient Demon Court,
the Human Ancestral Court,
the Savage Beast City of Tianhuang,
the Four Seas Dragon Palaces,
the Pangu Hall of the Wu Clan,
the Barbarian Desolate Mountains,
the Undying Holy City of the Spirit Race,
the Holy Kingdom of the Angelic Race,
the Ling Mountain Great Thunder Monastery of the Buddhist Sect,
and the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Mountain of the Beastmen.
"Each of these ancient powers represents a towering legacy. In truth, the Primordial Continent is where the true foundations of all races and powers across the cosmos are gathered."
Wandering Immortal recited these names like a flowing river—each name was enough to shake the heavens.
The sheer majesty and scale of the Primordial Continent became increasingly vivid with his description.
This was the true battlefield, the ultimate realm where countless peerless geniuses gathered. Not only did the continent contain unfathomably abundant spiritual energy, but even innate primal energy remained active there. In such a place, even a pig could become a beast of legend, let alone the elites of the myriad races.
This was the key difference between the Primordial Continent and other realms.
As Wandering Immortal spoke, the vast magnificence of the Primordial Continent unfolded in everyone's imagination.Even the most stoic listeners couldn't help but feel a deep yearning rise within them.
After a long pause, Yao Yue exhaled softly.
"Truly an eye-opener.Had I not heard it myself, I wouldn't have believed the Primordial Continent was so magnificent.Those powers… are certainly worthy of respect, but not fear.I believe that one day, our Great Yi Dynasty will catch up—and even surpass them."
Respect should be shown where due—but never fear. Fear was the enemy of ambition.
Yao Yue had unshakable confidence in both the dynasty and Yi Tianxing.
With him at the helm, Great Yi's ascent would never cease.
"Primordial Continent, ancient lands… I don't really care," said Nannan with a sweet smile."As long as I can be with big brother, nothing else matters."
In her eyes, Yi Tianxing was the world.
The other women silently agreed, each casting a gentle glance his way.
Their future… lay entirely in his hands.
Just then, Li Zhilin approached quietly.
"Emperor, the kitchen has sent word—the dishes are ready.Shall we begin the feast?"
During the conversation, Lan Feihong and the other chefs had completed their preparations.
"Good. Serve the dishes. Let the feast begin!"
Yi Tianxing's eyes lit up immediately.Nothing else mattered right now—it was time to eat.
Especially the Gem Meat—he had waited far too long for this delicacy.
Had his willpower been even slightly weaker, he would've devoured it on the spot.
With a single command, the maids arrived, carrying tray after tray of dishes to each table.
Each dish was carefully covered—not just to preserve appearance, but to trap the fragrance and keep the flavors locked in.
The total number of dishes wasn't overwhelming—only a single portion per table.
But on Yi Tianxing's table, the portions were larger and more numerous.
Soon, every dish had been placed.
At that moment, Mila, Lan Feihong, and Xie Lu stepped forward, standing respectfully behind the Emperor's table.
They were ready to introduce their creations.
"Chefs, you've worked hard.Tell us—what makes these dishes unique?To savor the taste, we must first understand its origin."
Yi Tianxing nodded slightly, prompting them to begin.
Mila stepped forward, lifted the cover of the central dish, and began:
"This is a carefully prepared Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup.Using Gem Meat as the base seasoning, combined with nine-headed hydra meat, Seven-Star Lobster, supreme abalone, Sea King Ginseng, flatfish lips, phantom mushrooms, snow mountain beef tendon, shark fin, goose liver, cuttlefish, and star-spotted partridge eggs..."
"Each ingredient is the finest of its kind, cooked using methods such as simmering, steaming, frying, and stewing—then fused with our secret Gem Meat seasoning."
"The final dish was completed after dozens of steps.Please, Emperor and Your Highnesses—taste it."
As she lifted the cover—
A dazzling divine light burst forth like a tide, carrying with it a fragrance so intoxicating it defied description.
In the light, one could almost see Buddhas salivating, as though they were about to leap from their temples in hunger.
"Incredible aroma!!"
"I can't take it anymore—my mouth is watering.My taste buds are going insane!"
"Even the Buddha would break his fast for this!"
The allure of the dish was overwhelming.
Servants immediately ladled the soup into bowls, placing one before each guest.
Yi Tianxing looked down.
The broth was crystal-clear like white jade, or perhaps even amber—less like a soup and more like a perfect work of art.
He almost didn't want to disturb its perfection.
Strangely, there was no visible meat—only the soup.
But he knew—it wasn't lacking.
In the process of cooking, the essence of every ingredient had melted into the broth itself.
This wasn't just soup.It was concentrated essence.
He lifted the spoon, took a sip…
The moment it touched his tongue, he felt as if he had sipped divine marrow—its texture as silky as tofu, yet flowing like clear broth.
His soul trembled.
His flesh and blood moaned in delight.
Even his Gourmet Cells kicked into overdrive.
The surrounding world energy surged, drawn in by his body.
His Life Orifice – Food Cauldron activated at full power.
He could clearly feel his flesh strengthening, every part of him evolving.
One Dragon.
Two Dragons.
Three Dragons…
His physical strength increased with every breath—measured in Dragon Force.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Within his body, the Blue Cauldron roared.His cultivation method, the Boundless Ocean Sutra, churned like a raging tide.
Every muscle, every bone, every meridian was refined.Dao patterns of the ocean coursed through his flesh.
Refinement Level Five.
Blue Cauldron: Fifth Ring Sounded.
And he was still gaining strength as he ate.
His hands never stopped—each spoonful deepened the experience.
Not just him—everyone at the table fell under the dish's spell.
Even Wandering Immortal was entranced, lost in a rare moment of bliss.
Only after finishing the entire bowl did clarity return.
"Such a dish… no wonder it's called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Even the Enlightened would be tempted."
Wandering Immortal's voice was filled with admiration.
"The Gem Meat truly lives up to its name. A peerless ingredient unmatched under heaven."
Yi Tianxing nodded with deep praise.
This was, without doubt, the greatest soup he had ever tasted.
