736 Heavenly Holy Land (1/2)
The Hidden Dragon Continent was borderless and vast.
The continent's middle part was filled with unceasing mountain ranges. Some mountain range bloomed with five-colored halo, while some jutted up into the sky like sharp swords. Those mountain ranges had their own features, but they all had immensely abundant spirit energy.
The Hidden Dragon Royal Court was made of the Seven Great Holy Lands and many smaller forces. The Seven Great Holy Lands held the supreme power as they were the ruling forces of the Royal Court.
The Heavenly Holy Land was the most mysterious Holy Land in the Royal Court. It was somewhat more supernatural and mysterious than the others.
A meandering and peacefully secluded place, it was situated in a valley in the middle of the continent. It neither had the imposing structures like the other Holy Lands, nor the impressive and massive city walls that could give people terrible pressure.
Simple houses situated in every corner of the valley.
Just like blooming fruits, the black-tiled and white-walled houses of the community had created a mysterious formation, which created an unceasing flow of energy circulating around the valley.
A house's door squeaked open. The Celestial Saintess, who was wearing a thin white silk dress with a veil covering her face, slowly walked out of the house. She was holding a small star compass. Her long eyelashes shivered.
She walked to another house and waited for a long time. When she heard the call from the house, she pushed the door open to step inside.
Inside the house was another world. The space expanded, which had made the house several times bigger than it looked.
The room had a round star compass around ten meters in diameter. So many stars were moving on that star compass, twinkling beautifully.
An old woman with an amiable face and well-combed white hair was standing by the star compass, holding a staff in her hand. She was gazing at something on the table.
After the Celestial Saintess entered the room, she stood quietly aside.
”Little girl, I know why you came to me… You've come to the Valley of Gluttony and met the one you wanted to see. But there are some things you need to let go.” The old woman stretched her hands over the star compass, talking casually.
”Although the Hidden Dragon Continent looks calm and auspicious now, winds have risen and clouds have drifted. Dangers are everywhere… If we didn't have the Great Rule suppressed then, the brutal Netherworld creatures would have soon invaded us, turning the Hidden Dragon Continent to hell on earth.”
The Celestial Saintess's long eyelashes shivered. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.
”I know you're here to ask to go to the Valley of Gluttony one more time. But this time, I won't allow you.” The old woman finally lifted her head, her calm eyes looking at the Celestial Saintess. ”After one hundred years, you're the first one who can trigger the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk. I won't let you take risks.”
”But… Grannie Mo, you know, the Valley of Gluttony's inheritance is basically a trap…” The Celestial Saintess finally opened her mouth.
”Say no more. Death or life, it's destined. Fate controls everything. You can't interfere with it deliberately. The Heavenly Holy Land taught you the secret technique not to let you help people… You're supposed to be able to control the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk soon! As long as you can understand the mysteries of the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk to see the events beforehand, we can have hope to survive in the future…”
”All the Holy Lands have prepared room for maneuver. How could you mess up the Heavenly Holy Land's arrangement because of one person?” added the old woman.
The Celestial Saintess had a light moving in her eyes. Eventually, she sighed dispiritedly.
”Don't mind the things in the Valley of Gluttony… The Rule of the Great Path is changing. Don't you see more stars glowing on the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk? The Great Void existences appear more and more on the Hidden Dragon Continent. You know what it means…”
After a pause, the old woman continued with, ”Go back now. Without thinking and worrying about those things, you can understand the mysteries of the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk. Once you can, you will have the power to control fate.”
The Celestial Saintess remained silent for a long time before turning around and leaving.
The old woman held the staff, her eyes deep and profound. Her hands made some mysterious hand seals, striking on the star compass in front of her.
Radiance immediately bloomed on the table. So many stars began to move in a mysterious trajectory…
”Oh? The Valley of Gluttony has another chaotic star twinkling? Something will happen to the Valley of Gluttony's inheritance this time?” The old woman furrowed her brows. She took a deep breath as she watched the star, which was shining brighter than usual.

The Valley of Gluttony
People couldn't let go of the excitement in their hearts, and it's all thanks to the fascinating cooking battle that would take place tomorrow.
That arrogant little chef was going to use his power alone to battle against the three chefs from the top ten of the Tablet of Gluttony.
His arrogance was simply something unimaginable to them, and many people thought that he had lost his mind.
A Chef's Challenge would consume a lot of energy and effort to cook a dish. For that dish, some people had even exhausted his power, consuming a lot of his spirit, energy, and even soul.
Ordinary people couldn't endure more than one cooking battle, while that chef was planning to do three cooking battles at the same time! It was like taking his life to war!
Nonetheless, everybody was anticipating the upcoming Chef's Challenge. Perhaps they were all waiting to see Bu Fang get defeated, but to some people, they were anticipating whether Bu Fang could create a miracle or not.

Noodle King Restaurant
Today, the Noodle King Restaurant was closed. They didn't do business today.
Outside the kitchen, many chefs were surrounding the closed door, their faces heavy and complicated.
They didn't know what Noodle King Ouyang Chenfeng was doing in the kitchen, and all they could do was to wait for him.
Not only Noodle King, but Jade Bamboo Wang Tong had also locked himself in his house, unceasingly moving back and forth as he prepared for the match tomorrow.
As for Reverie Knife Lu Tao, he was very confident in his knife skills. This time, he wanted to use his special knife skills to compete against that dark horse chef and smash him.

Inside a hotel in the Gluttony God City
Bu Fang turned off the kitchen light, walking out. He didn't do any complicated practice.
After he reached his room, he laid down. His breath became steady as he drifted away in his sleep.
