Huang Yichen was quite surprised and stared over towards Zhang Ruochen, asking, “Sacred Flame Qilin Meat isn’t powerful yet?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “The Sacred Flame Qilin Meat is indeed quite precious, it can be called a priceless treasure, even Saints would rush towards it. [”
“However, in the history of the Human Race, there were also some Emperor-level figures who had beheaded Beast Emperors, so why did they not cultivate 3,000 heavenly prides that could be compared to the same as Sacred Bodies?”
Huang Yichen frowned, and after a long time, he said, “Could it be because only the nine-coloured sacred fire cultivated by the Sacred Flame Qilin Emperor is able to quench a cultivator’s physique? Cultivators taking the blood and flesh of other beast emperors cannot achieve such an effect?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and asked rhetorically, “Do you know how powerful a drop of a Beast Emperor’s blood contains? If a Fish Dragon Realm cultivator with an ordinary physique were to take a drop of the Beast Emperor’s blood, not only would he not be able to digest it, but instead, his body would end up bursting into flames and die because he would not be able to withstand that powerful force.”
“Three thousand Celestial Pride, some of them, directly ate a tripod of Sacred Flame Qilin meat and swallowed at least thousands of drops of Beast Emperor blood. Yet, they withstood that powerful force. Don’t you think that it’s incredible?”
Huang Yichen’s eyes, which became very bright, somewhat understood Zhang Ruochen’s meaning and said, “You mean to say that what was truly powerful was not the Sacred Flame Qilin Meat, but rather, it was the eighteen Ancient Mysterious Techniques of the Palace’s Imperial Chef, and that’s why it resulted in the unbelievable miracle at the Boundary Son’s Feast.”
“That’s right.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “I’m afraid that there is an amazingly high person in Empress Chi Yao’s imperial kitchen. Only a truly superior person would be able to cook the Beast Emperor’s meat. An ordinary cultivator, even if they were holding a holy weapon, would not be able to cut up the Beast Emperor’s meat.”
Huang Yunchen said, “Could it be that the ‘Wonderful Hand Divine Maiden’, one of the Nine Heavenly Mysteries beside the Empress, cooked it with her own hands? Legend has it that she has received the inheritance of the God of Food from the ancient times, and possesses the most marvellous hands in the world. Tasting one of her dishes is more effective than swallowing a Holy Pill.”
In the ancient times, there were “gods” in the Kunlun Realm.
If the Myriad Hand Divine Maiden had really obtained the inheritance of a “god”, then she definitely wasn’t just as simple as being able to cook, she was definitely a rather powerful character as well.
“To be able to become a Nine Heavens Divine Maiden, none of them are simple characters.”Zhang Ruochen glanced in the direction of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden again, revealing a grave expression.
With his current cultivation level, even when compared to the Nine Heavens Xuan Maiden, there was still a considerable gap, and he didn’t know when he would be able to catch up to Chi Yao’s realm?
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden raised her voice once again and said, “King’s Seat, tea banquet.”
One hundred and eight marvellous young ladies in white palace dresses danced and performed beautiful dance moves while holding crystal trays, presenting a set of tea utensils to the one hundred and eight young kings.
The teapot, which was turquoise in colour, was very translucent, and on its surface, there was a subtle pattern, each line containing the power of the Holy Dao.
The three teacups, also turquoise in colour, were made of the same material as the teapot, and all of them emitted incomparably pure holy qi, giving people a feeling of refreshment.
“The teapot and teacups, both carved from holy jade, each set is worth a fortune. I also wonder what kind of tea would be worthy of such a tea set?”
The vast majority of the young cultivators who were able to sit firmly in the king’s seat were Saint Body, and the rest of them also possessed special physical qualities that were even more powerful than Saint Body.
Their state of mind, therefore, was a little more composed, and even if they were looking forward to the tea in the teapot, they were all trying to restrain their emotions as much as possible.
Bu Qianfan, however, appeared unconcerned, picking up the teapot, he poured it into one of the teacups.
“Wow!”
The tea was very refreshing and cool, it also took on a turquoise colour, just like agar jelly and jade dew, radiating a refreshingly fragrant tea aroma, other than that, there wasn’t much that was special about it.
However, to be able to set up the Boundary Son Banquet, how could it be an ordinary tea?
The gazes of the crowd all looked towards the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
The Sacred Book Talented Woman only gave a shallow smile and said, “This tea, named ‘Great Sage Tongtian Tea’, from the ancient times until today, there are only these one hundred and eight copies.”
The words of the Sacred Book Talented Lady were really a bit mysterious.
From the Middle Ancient Era until now, there had been at least 100,000 years, so how could it be possible that there were only these one hundred and eight copies? Could it be that even she, herself, was not qualified to taste it?
“Everyone doesn’t need to doubt this Saint’s words, the wine, meat, and tea of the Boundary Son Banquet are all personally arranged by the Empress, only for the purpose of banqueting geniuses and heroes.”
Then, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden added, “The one hundred and eight portions of Great Sage Tongtian Tea were made using the sacred sources of the eight beast emperors as tea leaves, adding another thirty-seven ten thousand year old sacred medicines, and spending three hundred years to refine them.”
“Therefore, for this Saint to say that it is the unique one hundred and eight copies from the Middle Ages to the present is definitely not a big lie. In the last hundred thousand years, or in the next hundred thousand years, who else will be able to refine the Great Sage Tongtian Tea?”
After listening to the Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s explanation of the Great Sage Tongtian Tea, everyone was unable to calm down.
Even, in the Divine Terrace City, the Saints of the major powers were so excited that their faces turned red and the blood in their bodies boiled.
The Martial Dao had four realms: the Yellow Extreme Realm, the Xuan Extreme Realm, the Earth Extreme Realm, and the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
The Holy Dao also had four realms: Half Saint, Saint, Saint King, and Great Saint.
Only a savage beast that has reached the Great Sage realm can be named “Beast Emperor” and become the most powerful existence in the entire Kunlun Realm.
When a cultivator refined a Saint’s Saint Source, he would have a high chance of cultivating into a Saint, and eventually, reaching the Saint realm.
Using the holy sources of the eight beast emperors to refine the Great Sage Heavenly Tea, in the past 100,000 years, only Empress Chi Yao had such a great stroke. If one was able to take a sip, it would be equivalent to swallowing at least ten Saint Sources.
“The Empress is really so enlightened that she is willing to take out such a precious treasure and give it to the younger generation of kings to drink?”
“I’m afraid that all the Saint Ancestors would be mad with jealousy.”
“The great emperors of the Human Race of the past, if they had such a treasure, there is no way they would take it out and give it to the world to drink. The current empress is worthy of being the first emperor of the millennia.”
……
Even the Devil Dao cultivators and Evil Dao cultivators felt admiration for what Empress Chi Yao had done.
If they were to stand in Empress Chi Yao’s position, and possessed the Great Sage Heavenly Tea, they would only take it themselves, and there was no way they would take it out and give it to a group of young juniors they didn’t know at all to savour.
From this, it could be seen that the Empress was truly incomparably saintly, and was truly revitalising the human race, causing many people to be ashamed of themselves.
One of the teenage kings of the Black Market stood up, lifted his teacup, and righteously said, “Today, I, Shangjia, make a vow that if I become the Lord of the Black Market in the future, as long as the Empress reigns for one day, the Black Market will never be an enemy of the imperial court.”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, his heart was very heavy, feeling that he could not see through Chi Yao more and more, and was quite curious as to what exactly she was doing.
If, indeed, Chi Yao was that selfless and noble. Why did she sneak up on him and kill him back then?
Why did she then secretly build the Heaven and Earth Sacrificial Platform without telling anyone?
Tonight’s Boundary Son Feast, was it really a bigger conspiracy?
Or was it a huge crisis in the Kunlun Realm, as the Sacred Book Talented Maiden had said, coming soon?
“Three hundred years ago, or even earlier, Chi Yao was already preparing for the Boundary Son Banquet, what exactly is her purpose in cultivating so many human experts, heavenly prides, kings, and boundary sons?”
Eight hundred years had passed, and Chi Yao was no longer the innocent young girl she was back then, nor was she the sinister woman who had killed Zhang Ruochen with a sword. She had become even more inscrutable, making her completely elusive.
Drinking the Great Sage Heavenly Tea did not allow a cultivator’s cultivation to immediately reach the Heavenly Realm, it only allowed the cultivator to more easily comprehend the Sacred Way.
It could be said that the one hundred and eight young kings would definitely be able to break through to the Saint realm or even higher in the future.
Moreover, the degree of cultivating martial skills and comprehending the Holy Dao would be quite fast, and within a hundred years, they would definitely become saints without encountering any bottlenecks.
The human masters who drank the Six Sacred Ascension Wine and the celestial pride who swallowed the Sacred Flame Qilin’s meat, although they also gained a lot of benefits, it was still unknown whether or not they would be able to reach the Saint realm.
The First King’s Seat, being the highest position, received the most Great Sage Heavenly Tea, with a pot full of it.
Huang Yichen took out two teacups and poured each of them full, then, stretching out her two slender jade fingers, she handed one of the cups to Zhang Ruochen, her eyes exceptionally bright as she said, “This pot of Great Sage Heavenly Tea should have belonged to you, so you taste it first.”
Zhang Ruochen was not polite and took the cup of tea, putting it to his lips and drinking it.
The tea, entering his abdomen, immediately transformed into a turquoise-coloured qi mass, which then dispersed, forming a sacred qi filament, like a spider’s web, intertwined in every part of his body.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s entire body was wrapped in turquoise-coloured sacred light, his brain was very empty, and some of the previous questions that had confused him greatly had become very simple.
Almost every split second, his understanding of the Saint Dao climbed to a new height.
Of course, the Great Sage Tongtian Tea was only able to help him understand the Sacred Dao more easily, it did not help him ascend from the early stage of the Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation to the middle stage of the Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation.
For cultivators of the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation, it was a completely different story. At their realm, they had already reached the peak, only that their understanding of the Holy Dao wasn’t thorough enough, and that was why they hadn’t been able to break through to the Half-Saint realm.
Now, after swallowing the Great Sage Heavenly Tea, in just an instant, their realms immediately broke through.
Of the one hundred and eight young kings, over ninety of them actually became Half-Saints within a quarter of an hour. There were only a few cultivators whose realms weren’t enough, or who had deliberately suppressed their cultivation, who were still stuck in the Fish Dragon Realm.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, above Zhang Ruochen’s head, a Saint Soul actually condensed out as well, reaching the Half-Saint realm.
How did a cultivator at the early stage of the Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation suddenly become a Half Saint?
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden had been observing Lin Yue the entire time and was not the least bit surprised to see him condense a Sacred Soul because, she knew that Lin Yue was not only cultivating martial arts, but was also cultivating spiritual power.
It should be the power of the Great Sage Tongtian Tea that caused his spiritual strength, to break through to the forty-fifth rank and become a spiritual half-saint in one fell swoop.
