Chapter 147: Eating His Chicken? It's an Honor!

The expression on Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's face shifted between pale and flushed, constantly changing.

The chicken thief.

The chicken thief who had made him grit his teeth in hatred, who had forced him to guard the coop day and night, and whom even eighty-one layers of Restrictions couldn't stop—

Was actually that Senior?!

The terrifying existence who had casually broken the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Heaven Array, wiped out the sky-filling demonic shadows with a flick of his sleeve, and suppressed a saint king weapon with one hand?!

The peerless powerhouse to whom his own Old Ancestor had to bow respectfully, and before whom he felt inferior even after offering the thunder sound bead?!

"O-Old Ancestor..." Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's voice was trembling; he still found it hard to believe. It took him a long while to force out a complete sentence. "Are you sure... Senior took the chickens? Could it be... a mistake?"

Saint Xutian walked ahead with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he paused and glanced back at him.

"How could there be a mistake?"

He hadn't been entirely sure at first, but when they were leaving, his gaze had inadvertently swept over a corner of the courtyard and caught sight of several gold-and-red feathers.

The Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens were unique to their Yinxian Village.

Since the feathers were there, the chickens missing from Yinxian Village were naturally there as well.

Besides, in the entire Southern Region, who else but that Senior could have stolen the chickens silently right under his nose?

"But..." Great Elder Yun Zhongzi swallowed hard, his face still etched with disbelief. "How could an existence of Senior's level... how could he steal chickens?"

Saint Xutian's lips twitched.

He couldn't figure out that question either.

That Senior's cultivation reached the heavens and the earth; he could casually refine supreme treasures containing the aura of the Dao, and he even kept legendary divine items like the wutong treasure tree and the Phoenix Nirvana in his own courtyard.

What kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure would an existence of this level lack?

Why did he have to set his sights on the Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chickens of Yinxian Village?

Could it be... simply because they tasted good?

"Perhaps... it's because the taste is indeed quite good." Saint Xutian couldn't explain it either, so he simply instructed, "Since Senior likes them, raise more in the future. He can take as many as he wants."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi frowned slightly, feeling a bit unhappy.

To the Cultivators of Yinxian Village, the Heaven-Swallowing Brocade-Plumed Chicken was more than just cultivation resources—their Cultivation Technique was closely linked to these chickens, and raising them provided immense benefits to their cultivation.

Senior had snatched away the chickens he had worked so hard to raise for all these years without saying a word; naturally, he felt some resentment.

"Old Ancestor, even if that Senior is powerful, Yinxian Village doesn't need to curry favor with him to this extent, right?"

Saint Xutian sighed softly.

"That Senior is no ordinary person."

He turned to look at Great Elder Yun Zhongzi and said solemnly, "You should have heard about the matter regarding Tianque Holy Land."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi nodded slightly.

Although he had been guarding the chicken coop these past few days, news of Tianque Holy Land had long since reached his ears.

The prestigious Tianque Holy Land, one of the top Holy Lands in the Eastern Desolation, had actually been wiped out overnight.

This news had naturally shocked him beyond measure.

Thinking of this, he suddenly froze and stared at Saint Xutian. "Old Ancestor... could it be that Tianque Holy Land..."

"Correct." Saint Xutian nodded slightly. "Tianque Holy Land was destroyed by that Senior."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi stood rooted to the spot, the expression on his face shifting from anger to shock, and then from shock to a deathly pale.

Tianque Holy Land.

That was Tianque Holy Land!

One of the top Holy Lands in the Eastern Desolation, with a Legacy spanning ten thousand years, an Old Ancestor in the Saint King Realm, and over a dozen Saint Realm powerhouses—a true colossus!

In a single night, it had been reduced to ruins.

The entire Cangxuan Great World had been shaken by it.

And now, the Old Ancestor was telling him that the person who destroyed Tianque Holy Land was in that courtyard just now?

That young man who was lazily lying on the soft couch with a satisfied smile on his face?

The very chicken thief who had stolen his chickens and made him grit his teeth in hatred?

"O-Old Ancestor..." Great Elder Yun Zhongzi swallowed, his voice trembling. "Are you sure? Tianque Holy Land... was really destroyed by that Senior?"

Saint Xutian walked ahead with his hands behind his back, his pace steady and unhurried, his aged face showing no ripples of emotion.

"That day in the Secret Realm, the ten thousand soul banner that three Saints couldn't handle even when working together was casually suppressed by that Senior. And when Tianque Holy Land was destroyed, the ten thousand soul banner was planted right in the ancestral grounds of Tianque Holy Land."

He paused and glanced back at Great Elder Yun Zhongzi. "Do you think that's a coincidence?"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's entire body stiffened.

Indeed, there was no mistake.

The ten thousand soul banner.

The life-bound Saint weapon of the Heavenly Fiend Demon Venerable.

That day in the Secret Realm, three Saints were trapped in the Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Heaven Array and nearly suffered a total defeat.

It was that Senior who had casually broken the array, wiped out the sky-filling demonic shadows with a flick of his sleeve, and suppressed the ten thousand soul banner with one hand.

And now, that ten thousand soul banner had appeared on the ruins of Tianque Holy Land.

This was certainly no coincidence.

"A Saint King Realm Old Ancestor... over a dozen Saint Realm powerhouses... destroyed just like that..."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi muttered to himself, his voice practically floating.

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

To be able to kill a Saint King—that would be at least the Late Stage of the Saint King Realm, or even the Peak.

As for above the Saint King Realm... he didn't even dare to imagine it.

The shock on Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's face gradually faded, and a light began to flicker in his eyes.

He looked at Saint Xutian and said tentatively, "Old Ancestor, how about... how about I stay in Guangnan City and specialize in raising chickens for that Senior?"

"Hmm?" Saint Xutian raised an eyebrow. "You brat, you were probably cursing that Senior in your heart just now. Why do you suddenly want to raise chickens?"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi gave a sheepish smile.

How could that be the same?

What kind of existence was that Senior?

An existence above the Saint King Realm.

Forget about the Southern Region, a place that didn't even have a Great Saint; even in the deeply-rooted Central Province, he would be a peerless powerhouse!

What was wrong with such a peerless powerhouse eating his chickens?

It was his honor!

"Alright, after we return, raise more of them." Saint Xutian stopped teasing and his expression became more solemn. "If you can please that Senior, even just a little bit of guidance from him would be worth a thousand years of bitter cultivation."

Saying that, he took out the section of the wutong branch.

"Don't look down on this thing just because it was casually made. The Dao contained within it is enough for me to contemplate for a thousand years and catch a glimpse of the Great Saint Realm!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was greatly shocked. "This thing is actually so powerful?!"

In an instant, his mind became active.

If his chickens could satisfy that Senior, wouldn't he have a hope of becoming a Saint?

Wutong Garden.

Shen Qingyuan leaned against the soft couch, holding a piece of crystal-clear Flood Dragon Meat and slowly tossing it into his mouth.

The meat melted in his mouth, and a burst of warm Spiritual Qi exploded on his tongue, sliding down his throat into his stomach and flowing through his entire body.

That Spiritual Qi was so pure and dense that it was even more concentrated than an ordinary Spirit Pill.

"As expected of the Taotie Pavilion Master's skill," Shen Qingyuan praised, then picked up a piece of Spirit Cuisine cooked with Phoenix Tail Flowers.

The petals were a reddish-gold color, thin as a cicada's wing, and tasted sweet upon entry. They carried a faint hint of fire aura that danced on the tip of the tongue, offering a unique flavor.

Luo Qingyue sat kneeling to one side, eating in small bites while reflecting on the cooking process she had just witnessed.

She had already silently memorized the ingredient pairings, heat control, and the trajectory of spiritual power flow for every dish.

The top-tier Spirit Cuisine of Taotie Pavilion was not something just anyone could see.

Every move Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan made while cooking was a rare learning opportunity for her.

Old Turtle squatted in a corner of the courtyard, his murky old eyes staring fixedly at the Spirit Cuisine on the table, his saliva nearly dripping.

The nine heavens immortal spirit feast!

He had lived for over three thousand years, and this was the first time he had seen Spirit Cuisine of this level with his own eyes.

Just smelling the aroma made him feel that the demonic power in his body had become several times more active.

If he could just have one bite...

Old Turtle swallowed hard but didn't dare to step forward.

Since the Venerable hadn't spoken, how would he dare to move?
