884 Chapter 884: The Gap (2/2)

Bu Fang was the winner.

Hence, it was Bu Fang who acquired the qualification to enter the Immortal Cooking Realm.

The chef's deep-set eyes gazed at Bu Fang, causing the latter to feel a bit scared.

The old man was so unwilling. He clutched his head, and a gaze of reluctance lingered in his eyes.

However, despite how unconvinced he was, the winner had been determined. It was Bu Fang indeed.

”My transcendence… I've been waiting for several thousand years. And now, I lost to the Spicy Blood Lobster! I'm not willing to accept this at all!”

The old man was so upset that he wanted to vomit blood. However, no one cared about him.

Regardless of what he felt, the chef sitting over there would not be moved.

Suddenly, the old man became petrified. He sensed a mysterious wave of energy surging from the chef, who was from the Immortal Cooking Realm.

Boom!

The view in front of the old man vanished.

A moment later, he was flustered to discover that he had been expelled from the kitchen.

Many gazes fell on him, making him feel uneasy.

He knew those people. They were the strongest demon king, Amethyst Elder, and the others.

Obviously, they had not expected the First Valley Master of the Valley of Gluttony to get expelled too.

That year, the Valley of Gluttony's First Valley Master's name was well-known to all and sundry, and his spirit was strong.

His cooking talents had subdued the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, and he had built up the Valley of Gluttony and suppressed many holy lands.

However, several thousand years had passed.

The Valley of Gluttony had declined, and now, even the famous First Valley Master of the Valley of Gluttony had been defeated by a young chef in a cooking competition.

It was… so bitter.

The old man tried to pull himself together, but his body wouldn't stop quivering. It was as though he was about to go on a rampage.

He dived back down towards the underground area, but this time, he could not move an inch into it.

A layer of invisible energy prevented him from entering that space.

…

Meanwhile, in the underground kitchen, Nether King Er Ha and Lord Dog were panting.

A man and a dog stared hard at each other.

With his hands clasped, Bu Fang expressionlessly gazed at the chef from the Immortal Cooking Realm.

At first, he was not curious about the palace, but now that he had won, his curiosity had increased.

Acquiring this opportunity… had been a little too easy for him.

Bu Fang sighed with emotion. A dish of Spicy Blood Lobster had helped him gain victory easily.

”Was the old man really that weak?” Bu Fang muttered to himself.

”Congratulations on obtaining the qualification to enter the Immortal Cooking Realm. Although you have obtained qualification, if you want to enter the Immortal Cooking Realm, you will have to wait for its gate to open,” said the chef.

Immortal Cooking Realm?

Bu Fang was surprised at the name. As it dared call itself the 'Immortal Cooking Realm,' it would have to be an extraordinary place.

Bu Fang took a deep breath before emotionlessly gazing at the chef.

”The Immortal Cooking Realm is a paradise for all chefs. It's the place top chefs of each world seek in order to find their transcendence. When these chefs get to that world, they will meet more top chefs and experience unfathomable cooking skills,” the chef explained.

Bu Fang listened quietly. He was definitely interested in that Immortal Cooking Realm.

He always believed that he would go there one day.

Buzz...

After speaking, the chef's deep-set eyes continued to gaze at Bu Fang.

”And now, here's your qualification token. It's your opportunity. I hope you can use it well. Young man, this world is really big. Expand your vision and become a real chef. Your goal is the vast sea of stars.”

The chef's voice began to fade, and his body became transparent.

As Lord Dog had said, that chef was just a clone.

Bu Fang watched the chef vanish, until all that was left in his place was a wisp of ivory-colored spirit energy.

That wisp of spirit energy looked so mysterious, and it easily attracted Bu Fang's gaze. Its glow was dazzling.

”It's a wisp of immortal energy...”

Lord Dog and Nether King Er Ha were also looking at the wisp of ivory-colored immortal energy.

”If you want to transcend, you must have immortal energy. It's the foundation for transcendence.” Lord Dog's gentle but manly voice echoed.

”Bu Fang boy, although your cooking skills aren't bad, you still have a long way to go to reach those chefs in the Immortal Cooking Realm,” said Lord Dog.

Bu Fang's pupils dilated. There was such a gap between him and the chefs in the Immortal Cooking Realm?

”How large is this gap?” Bu Fang expressionlessly asked. As he had the system with him, he did not think that the gap between him and the chefs in the Immortal Cooking Realm would be big.

”The gap between earth and heaven and between mortals and immortals… You are incapable of imagining how vast it is,” replied Lord Dog, its voice suddenly turning cold.

A moment later, Bu Fang felt a huge pressure.

Buzz...

The hovering wisp of immortal energy fluttered, turning into a token and flew toward Bu Fang.

However, Bu Fang was still seriously contemplating what Lord Dog had told him. He instinctively raised his bandaged arm and caught the token.

The immortal energy swirling around the token shook Bu Fang.

The token felt warm in his hand.

A suction force shot out of his hand. Suddenly, the wisp of immortal energy entered his body.

Lord Dog gazed at Bu Fang.

The moment it saw the radiant token, its eyes narrowed. It was as though it had just verified something.

However, Bu Fang did not notice Lord Dog's expression. At that moment, his spirit sea, which was in his head, was about to explode.

Suddenly, the system, which had been silent for a long time, spoke.
