#520 - Goddess of life?

Jun Wuxie left, and everyone was at a loss, not knowing what he meant by the so-called feast.

Before long, he returned, waving his sleeve, and bottles and jars piled up like a mountain.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that those bottles and jars were actually oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chili peppers, peppercorns, spices, and so on.

They watched as he busied himself, taking out several bottles with space runes inside, and after categorizing the bottles and jars, he poured all the seasonings inside into the space bottles.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what he was up to.

Amidst their puzzled gazes, Jun Wuxie took out two enormous shells and reached out to draw in the air.

Water elements gathered from all directions, like a tap being turned on, and the pure water rushed down, washing the shells clean and removing the fishy smell.

He casually grabbed a few conch shells, placed them under the shells, and conjured two seeds of the Blazing Sun Flower in his hand.

He placed the Blazing Sun Flower seeds under the shells, and the rising essence fire continuously heated the shells.

Then, he opened a space bottle, poured a large amount of cooking oil into the shells, and took out the meat from some of the conch shells for cleaning.

Once the oil temperature rose, he began adding seasonings, and a rich aroma gradually spread.

When the heat was just right, he tossed the conch meat into the air and moved his fingers, cutting the conch meat into countless small pieces, which steadily fell into the pot.

After a burst of stir-frying, the rich aroma of the meat permeated the air, causing everyone to inhale deeply, their mouths watering as they stared in astonishment.

Many people even made gurgling sounds as they swallowed their saliva, their eyes as if they hadn't eaten anything in eight lifetimes.

"This spicy aroma is truly amazing."

Jun Wuxie smelled it with a look of intoxication, and seeing that the conch meat was almost done, he added water and then casually grabbed a piece of metal to cover it.

"Don't worry, this spicy braised conch meat will be ready soon."

As he spoke, he walked to the shell next to him, added oil, and began stir-frying the ingredients, frantically adding chili peppers and peppercorns.

"Add more to remove the fishiness, the flavor will be even spicier and more delicious."

He washed the scallop meat, which was as big as a washbasin, cut it into pieces, and quickly put the scallop meat into the pot before the ingredients inside were about to burn.

Instantly, sizzling sounds rang out, a cloud of steam rose, and as the scallop meat entered the pot, the aroma instantly filled the air.

In front of the broken temple, everyone watched, swallowing their saliva, and some people had already crowded around, staring intently at the pot.

These ingredients were at the Saint Realm level, practically like great medicine, containing a rich essence of life, which was exciting to think about.

How many people in the world could enjoy such good fortune?

To dare kill the Sea Race Saint Realm to eat them was truly too savage!

On the other streets, the Sea Race, seeing such a scene, were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they almost had their livers and gallbladders split!

They thought they were already very savage, coming to this ancient town and directly killing and devouring any Human Race who slightly disobeyed them.

But compared to that Human Race youth, they were simply insignificant.

That youth actually killed their Sea Race, separated the best meat, washed it clean, and stir-fried it in a pot with seasonings!

The aroma drifted far away, and even those Sea Race, amidst extreme horror, were aroused by the aroma.

They were both terrified and greedy, wanting to eat!

"Come, come, everyone gets a share, don't be polite, I'm treating today, so eat your fill!"

As he said this, Jun Wuxie glanced directly at the street over there and said, "If you feel it's not enough after eating, I'll go kill another pile and stew a few pots of seafood soup."

Instantly, the Sea Race on that street were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground, running away in a panic.

He put away the Blazing Sun Flower seeds, the scallop meat was already stir-fried, the aroma was rich, and the spicy flavor further stimulated people's appetite.

Someone stepped forward to taste a piece, and immediately closed their eyes, their face filled with intoxication and enjoyment.

"Delicious! A delicacy of the world, too delicious!"

The person chewed while praising, their mouth full of the essence of life, which spurted out from their mouth, nostrils, and ears.

"Don't push me!"

"Get out of the way, let me try it too!"

"Damn, this piece is mine!"

"Don't snatch, or I'll get angry with you!"

… …

Dozens of geniuses swarmed up, even the two elders from the Medicine King Sect joined the ranks of snatching food.

Jun Wuxie was quick-witted and quickly took some out, otherwise, this group of people would have snatched it all, and Su Xiaoxiao hadn't eaten yet.

"Come, have a taste."

He fed the crispy, fragrant, and tender scallop meat to Su Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Su Xiaoxiao ate with a look of intoxication, and the essence of life constantly rampaged in her body.

Frightened, she quickly sat down to refine it.

A pot of scallops was quickly snatched away by these people.

Each of them ate so much that even their pores were spraying essence, their bodies were so full of essence that they were about to turn into balls, and they were wailing and shouting that they were so full, saying they were about to explode.

Jun Wuxie was speechless, they were like hungry ghosts reincarnated.

Fortunately, these people were all Sovereign Kings, and they could still withstand it, otherwise, they would probably have exploded and died.

Su Xiaoxiao's realm was very low, and now she was only at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

Jun Wuxie had to step in to help her suppress the essence, and then let her slowly guide and absorb it, temper her physical body, and convert the excess into her own true energy.

Of course, he didn't forget to take back the Blazing Sun Flower seeds under the pot of braised conch meat, lest it burn.

Yes, like this, let it simmer for a while, it will be more flavorful.

Before long, green true energy suddenly overflowed from Su Xiaoxiao's body.

Her aura was rapidly rising, and her whole person seemed to have entered a wonderful state.

A faint shadow gradually condensed behind her body.

The aura of that shadow was very pure and gentle and exuded a rich vitality.

At this time, mysterious symbols containing the source of life appeared on Su Xiaoxiao's body surface, more and more, densely packed.

Everyone was shocked by her changes, and all eyes were focused on her.

Even Jun Wuxie was taken aback.

This situation meant that some kind of dormant bloodline in her body had recovered!

"This is... what kind of bloodline is this, it doesn't seem like the Medicine King bloodline of our Medicine King Sect's founder!"

The two Saint Realm experts from the Medicine King Sect trembled, both excited and full of doubt.

In addition to his shock, Jun Wuxie activated his Primordial True Eyes to check the situation in her body.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

At this moment, she had actually stepped into the Grandmaster Extreme Realm and was charging towards the Half-Step Sovereign King Realm.

Many mysterious symbols lit up in her body, each of which contained the power of the source of life.

"Could it be that what Xiaoxiao is awakening is the Life Bloodline?"

Jun Wuxie thought to himself, and then he saw a strange scene in her body.

Deep within her body, it seemed that a kind of power was being released.

That kind of power was not the power of bloodline, but more like some kind of energy sealed in her body.

What shocked him the most was that the power released instantly and perfectly integrated into her body, completely transforming into her own true energy.

No, perhaps it cannot be said to be transformation, as if that power originally belonged to her, but was sealed at some point for a special reason, and now the time had come, it was slowly releasing and slowly recovering!

"Could it be because she ate the Saint Realm seafood, obtained those essences, and stimulated the dormant bloodline in her body?"

He pondered secretly, but then denied this speculation because it was too fantastical and simply unreasonable.

"It should be that her own accumulation has reached this point, and it was originally going to recover, and coincidentally, these essences helped her break into the Extreme Realm, reaching that point!"

Jun Wuxie looked at her, and at this moment, even Su Xiaoxiao's temperament had undergone no small changes.

She had a secret on her body, which he could vaguely guess, otherwise, she would not have maintained the appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maiden for the past two years.

She seemed unable to grow up.

The reason for this was either that there was a hidden illness in her body, or that there was another secret hidden in her body, which led to this result due to special circumstances.

"Xiaoxiao's bloodline and physique are a bit terrifying, she didn't eat much of the scallop meat just now, only a very small piece, so it shouldn't be possible to help her break into the Extreme Realm."

"A portion of those essences tempered her physical body, and the rest she actually transformed into her own true energy without any loss, and in a short period of time!"

Jun Wuxie knew this very well.

He himself was a person who cultivated his physical body and could absorb the essence of life without loss and turn it into his own blood energy.

But for other martial artists, it was impossible to do this, and being able to transform one or two out of ten was the upper limit.

However, Xiaoxiao, she could actually transform 100% of the essence of flesh and blood ingested into her body into her own true energy, which shocked him.

"You all step back a little!"

Jun Wuxie waved his sleeve, and golden light soared into the sky.

Rolling golden blood energy condensed into a blood energy circle with a diameter of ten meters, covering Su Xiaoxiao.

The blood energy circle was very thick, and the golden light flickered, making it impossible for people outside to see the situation inside.

He did this deliberately, not wanting people to see the process of Su Xiaoxiao's transformation.

A martial artist should try to keep their secrets as much as possible, and being understood too much by others is never a good thing.

Others could not see it, but he could.

The shadow behind Su Xiaoxiao became more and more solid, and gradually even the appearance of the facial features became clear.

That was a woman with a noble and gentle temperament and deep eyes.

Her facial features were almost exactly the same as Su Xiaoxiao's, only she looked mature and intellectual, without Su Xiaoxiao's childishness and youthfulness.

She was exactly like an adult Su Xiaoxiao.

Looking at the woman's shadow, Jun Wuxie only felt that she was like the source of vitality of heaven and earth, the carrier of the origin of life in the world.

That feeling was very peculiar and shocked his mind.

An odd sensation arose in his heart. It was as if even if a skeleton were placed before her, it would rapidly grow flesh and blood under her life aura.

"It's her, so it was her…"

The World Tree's slightly emotional voice echoed in Jun Wuxie's mind.

"Who is it?" Jun Wuxie was taken aback and asked, "World Tree, do you recognize the female phantom condensed behind Xiaoxiao?"

"I recognize her."

The World Tree's voice sounded as if it were reminiscing, "Her appearance is somewhat blurry to me, I almost can't remember it, but the aura of her life essence is unique in the world, unreplicable, and impossible to imitate…"

"Who exactly is she? Will she seize Xiaoxiao's thoughts and will?"

Jun Wuxie felt uneasy. From the World Tree's words, he learned that the female phantom was a real person who existed in a certain era.

Why is she manifesting now?

Could it be that her will hasn't perished and she's seeking a new body to possess?

"Originally one person, so where does the possession come from? Whether it's the upstream of the River of Time or the downstream of the River of Time now, it's just that one flower.

She once sacrificed herself for the heavens, withered in the upstream of the river, and after these long years, she has finally bloomed again…"

"Are you saying that Xiaoxiao is the reincarnation of a strong person from countless years ago?"

"It shouldn't be reincarnation, but although she sacrificed herself back then, she didn't truly perish…"

The World Tree paused slightly before saying, "You can ask the Medicine King Sect about her origins.

If I'm not mistaken, she shouldn't have biological parents, and was probably picked up by the Medicine King Sect."

Jun Wuxie: …

He felt that his mind was a bit overwhelmed.

The World Tree's statement was simply unbelievable!

According to her, Xiaoxiao was not originally Xiaoxiao, but a strong person from a certain era who hadn't completely perished and recondensed her physical body?

However, her condition is very bad, and there was a problem with condensing her physical body, turning her into an infant?

Is it the same as my situation back then?

If that's the case, she should have retained her previous Dao fruit.

Now, with the revival of her bloodline, the sealed Dao fruit has also begun to revive.

Is the power being released from her previous Dao fruit?

"I never believed that she would truly perish back then.

How could the Goddess of Life possibly perish?

After all, she was an ancient god born from the innate source of life, and her achievements were remarkable back then.

As long as the heavens don't perish, her origin won't perish…"

"Are you saying that she was a god back then?"

"You could say that.

She was an ancient god, but ancient god is just a title, not a realm, and it's completely different from the beings you know who cultivated to the realm of gods."

"Then what realm was she in back then?"

Jun Wuxie was very curious, how powerful was Xiaoxiao before?

The World Tree said, "With your current vision and understanding, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand.

When you reach that height in the future, you will naturally understand.

To satisfy your curiosity, I can tell you that the Goddess of Life is one level higher than your grandmaster."

Jun Wuxie: …

He was speechless, what kind of curiosity did this satisfy?

What realm is the grandmaster in, how strong is he, he doesn't know at all!

However, from the World Tree's words, he can be sure that the grandmaster is definitely not just a half-sage!

"It seems that the secrets on the grandmaster's body are much more terrifying than I imagined.

No wonder he was finally able to get rid of the erosion of the Darkest Darkness!

Could it be that he is also the continuation of some great figure's life, or has he lived a second life?"

Jun Wuxie thought a lot, perhaps only in this way can all this be reasonably explained.

"What kind of people are around me?"

He suddenly felt that this was very abnormal.

These people he encountered, the people he has interacted with or entangled with, such as Ye Qingxue, such as the grandmaster, and now there is another Goddess of Life.

In the future, will there be others with amazing backgrounds?

Those who don't show their true colors, perhaps they don't even know it themselves, suddenly one day they will awaken, and then become the second life of a great figure!

"Is there an invisible hand manipulating my destiny, or is it manipulating their destinies?

Making me have a deep connection with these people with amazing backgrounds.

If this continues, many things will only be involuntary…"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Since meeting Ye Qingxue, it has already been involuntary.

He has already been involved in the huge vortex that will appear in the future.

Grandmaster, or Su Xiaoxiao, are they also related to that huge vortex?
