1455 Break the Record Again (1/2)
Everyone was watching, with many expecting miracles from him. In fact, even if he could not do it, they thought no one else could. On the surface, he was just a Spirit Divine Chef, but his cooking skills were no weaker than the average Earth Divine Chef.
That was the reason he could break the inheritance's seals previously.
On the high platform, the woman with a silver mask fixed her eyes on Bu Fang. If he failed, she would not hesitate to kill him, even though he had Mu Hongzi's jade pendant. However, if he succeeded… At the thought of that, the woman's eyes gleamed even brighter.
…
Mo Pao, the head of the Mo Family, stood quietly and watched coldly at his residence, which had been reduced to ruins. This was a major setback for his family.
It would probably take several months to rebuild the residence. For the Mo Family, it would be a tough time because the other families in the capital would surely laugh at them. Reputation was the most important thing to an aristocratic family. Mo Pao found it hard to accept that he was the laughing stock of others, so he was furious at the person who started it all.
He was a mighty God King, and yet he was insulted like that. To him, it was like a slap in the face. However, the Divine Emperor had decreed that no one was allowed to touch the Divine Chef Temple. That made his pent-up anger almost overflow. Of course, Mo Pao dared not disobey the Divine Emperor's decree. Since he was not allowed to do it himself, he had to think of other ways.
Mo Hen was dead. The death of a business genius was the greatest loss for the Mo Family. It would even cause the family to fall a few levels at the least. Mo Pao was annoyed by that as well. Since Mo Hen had a talent for business, he should make good use of it instead of thinking about how to make up for his weak talent for cultivation.
'What a stupid thing he did. See, that not only got him killed, but also caused Mo Cang to be so badly injured that he hasn't recovered now. Even when he recovers, he might be forever a second-class genius and could no longer reach the peak…'
The more Mo Pao thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes almost spewed fire. Suddenly, he loosened his fists, and then a calm look came into his eyes.
'Do you think I can't deal with you while you're hiding in the Divine Chef Temple? I have plenty of ways to kill you! I don't believe you will spend the rest of your life there. As soon as you come out, I will kill you!'
Mo Pao was furious. When a God King flew into a rage, the atmosphere in the whole divine dynasty's capital seemed to become oppressive. For the last few days, the sky over the city had been overcast as if heavy rain was about to fall.
…
The counter over the seal kept changing. Its number increased faster and faster, shocking all the onlookers.
”It's already more than sixty thousand… He's probably going to break the record!”
”It only gets harder, and the later part is almost impossible to pass… I hope Mister Bu can give us a miracle!”
…
The Divine Chefs all took deep breaths and craned their necks to watch curiously. They were looking forward to the miracle that Bu Fang might bring them. Over the past few days, they had suffered heavy blows. The second seal had injured countless Divine Chefs because anyone who failed to pass the test would be physically wounded.
The woman with a mask looked on indifferently. Suddenly, her eyes focused, and she stared fixedly at Bu Fang.
Rumble!
A burst of air erupted from Bu Fang's body. His divine sense was rotating at its maximum speed while the whirlpools in his spirit sea kept spinning. With every spin, they improved the power of his divine sense significantly.
Clutching tightly at the black wok in the array, Bu Fang was already soaked with sweat. His arms were red and hot like a chunk of iron in the furnace, and his sweat was turning into wisps of steam.
A rustling sound could be heard. Whenever he tossed the wok, the stardust inside jumped into the air and then fell back down. He repeated the motions at a steady pace.
In fact, the pace was adjusted according to the strength of the divine sense. When the divine sense was weak, the pace would naturally slow down. However, once the pace was slower, it would consume more time, which was not good.
As time passed, the counter over the array kept changing, while Bu Fang's divine sense grew tenser, almost reaching its breaking point. If he relaxed now, it might collapse completely. Of course, the result had been significant. The number over the array had reached eighty thousand!
…
The imperial palace of the divine dynasty was very majestic. Its buildings were made of jade roof tiles and red bricks, and the ground was paved with white jade. Everywhere was full of artistic sense and a luxurious atmosphere.
Imperial guards in armor were walking in the palace. They were patrolling, guarding the order and safety.
In a side hall, a woman in a luxurious golden phoenix robe was sitting on a chair. She had a beautiful face, but her eyebrows were raised slightly at the ends, making her look a little bit mean.
Several experts in chef robes knelt in front of her. Their auras were very strong, and most of them were mid-grade Gods. They could be considered as Earth Divine Chefs. If Bu Fang were here, he would definitely see a familiar face.
The man was Master Cheng. After he left the Divine Chef Temple, he actually joined the imperial concubine's chef team. He was here at her behest. The imperial concubine was a woman, but her aura was extremely fearsome. Although it was not as strong as that of a God King, Master Cheng still felt as if he was facing a vast ocean.
”You are all the Earth Divine Chefs of the imperial kitchen. You have noble status, and the Divine Chef Temple should have your records. So it is very easy for you to join it. I need you to sneak into it and kill that little animal for me!”
The imperial concubine's beautiful face was cold and mean. Since the Divine Emperor had issued a decree, she dared not attack the Divine Chef Temple openly. However, she could do it in secret.
