Chapter 1421: The Seal of the Ancient Heavengod’s Inheritance

The suppression from the divine sense of a mid-grade God brought Bu Fang some pressure. Of course, he was not afraid. He had many tricks up his sleeve, and if he used them all, he believed he could fight her. However, he did not think that was necessary.

In fact, the beautiful woman bore him no ill intention. She just wanted to show off the Divine Chef Temple’s power in front of all the Divine Chefs. Otherwise, the temple would not be able to rein in so many people. So he gave her what she wanted by nodding his head and saying nothing.

Afterward, with his hands clasped behind his back, he descended and landed on the ground. The woman followed.

“Mister, I am Luo Sanniang, the steward of the Divine Chef Temple’s distinguished guest towers. You can look for me should you have any questions. Also, if you wish to have a look at the seal of the inheritance, you can contact me at any time.

“The seal is always open for you all.”

The woman put away the solemn look on her face and smiled at Bu Fang.

“The seal of the inheritance?” Bu Fang paused for a moment, then his eyes narrowed and lit up. “Can we go now?”

Surprised, Luo Sanniang parted her red lips and answered, “Of course. So mister wishes to go now? Well, I will take you there now.”

Bu Fang was quite interested in the so-called seal of the inheritance, so he accepted her offer and let her lead the way.

“Here comes another guy who thinks too highly of himself…”

“How could a Spirit Divine Chef solve the seal? He’s wasting his time.”

“That seal is too terrible, profound, and complicated… I bet it could only be solved by a Heaven Divine Chef.”

All the Divine Chefs present shook their heads when they heard that Bu Fang was going to try to break the seal. No one thought he could do it. They had seen the seal, but none of them could break it, not even the Earth Divine Chefs among them.

However, as Bu Fang had just displayed unusual talents, many people were interested in him. So when he said he wanted to solve the seal, the crowd followed to watch.

…

The location of the seal was in another building very far from the distinguished guest towers. After leaving the tower and walked straight for some time, they came to a round building with brick walls. Luo Sanniang pushed open the heavy doors and walked into it, twisting her slender waist as she led the way ahead.

Beyond the doors was a downslope passage. They followed it and went deep under the ground, heading toward a dot of bright light in the distance. It was a long time when they finally came out of the passage and stepped on flat land.

Far ahead, a huge black wok hovered in midair, its surface densely covered with arrays that sealed it.

“That is the seal of the inheritance. Apart from the inheritance, the black wok was a treasure as well… According to my master, once the black wok is freed, its power is comparable to that of a Chaotic Divine Artifact,” Luo Sanniang said with a look of amazement in her eyes.

Whenever she saw the black wok, she would be awed by its terrible aura. The other Divine Chefs came out of the passage and gathered around them.

There were already many Divine Chefs sitting cross-legged around the black wok, all focusing on solving the arrays. Some of them leaned against it and fixed their eyes at the arrays’ patterns, some pulled at their hair and murmured to themselves, while others were practicing cooking, trying to find clues through cooking.

“After studying it for so long, the effort we’ve put in isn’t wasted. We know at least that the inheritance has five levels of seals… We have even broken the first level, but…”

Luo Sanniang stared at the black wok with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

“But no one has been able to complete the question of the first seal.”

“Question?” Bu Fang paused, then he glanced inquiringly at her.

“You can step closer and look at the seal yourself. Remember, do not use force, otherwise… Don’t blame me for not warning you when you die,” Luo Sanniang said.

“Do not use force?” Bu Fang nodded. He was very curious about the black wok. Besides, when he glanced at it, he could sense a familiar aura.

He kicked the ground, sped forward like a stream of light, and landed in front of the huge black wok. The sound he made when landing seemed to anger many pondering Divine Chefs. They gave him sideways glances, cursed under their breaths, and went back to their thoughts.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he slowly stepped forward and soon came in front of the black wok. Then, he rested a palm on it.

A vast aura immediately poured out of the black wok. At that moment, Bu Fang seemed to see a boundless but chaotic world emerging in front of his eyes, and everything inside was being born and destroyed constantly! He was awed by the scene.

“This… This is…” Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath. A familiar feeling set his spirit sea to churn, and the God of Cooking’s Menu shone goldenly. The black wok contained the same aura as the God of Cooking’s Menu! It was the aura of the God of Cooking!

His eyes lit up instantly, and his divine sense poured out as if it was boiling. Just then, he sensed the seal’s aura. The arrays that sealed the wok were actually… Gourmet Arrays. Although they were much more complicated than the ones he knew, Bu Fang was very excited. He realized that this black wok must be related to the God of Cooking!

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

In the distance, when Luo Sanniang saw Bu Fang’s excited look, she pursed her red lips. “No chef can resist the charm of this black wok. Its secrets are like a magic box to all chefs… Now, let us see if this young Divine Chef can bring any surprise to the Divine Chef Temple.”

She leaned her back against a railing and stretched her body, her large bosom shaking with her movement. Suddenly, she froze, and her eyes focused as she turned to look in disbelief into the distance.

Standing in front of the black wok, Bu Fang made his first move. He sent his divine sense into the array, and after the span of five breaths, he broke it. Yes, it was much more complicated than the Gourmet Arrays he knew, but they were similar in many ways, so it was not too difficult for him to break it.

“Five… breaths?”

Luo Sanniang froze, and all the Divine Chefs standing behind her were petrified as well.

“It took him only the span of five breaths to break the first seal? Did this guy know in advance how to do it?”

The Divine Chefs exchanged glances and felt it hard to believe. It had taken many, many Divine Chefs years of study to break the first array. If Bu Fang did not know in advance how to crack it…Was he really so terribly talented?!

The years of effort so many Divine Chefs had put in was outdone by a guy in just the span of five breaths? That was a huge slap in their faces! They seemed to hear something breaking in their hearts…

The things in front of Bu Fang disappeared, and he saw rows of glowing gold characters.

‘Congratulations on breaking the first array. Each array is accompanied by a task. You need to complete it to open the second array…’

At this moment, a mighty voice rang in Bu Fang’s head. It was talking to his divine sense. His eyes lit up, and he began to listen to the task. Pieces of information rushed into his mind.

Before long, he took a step back, and his eyes became clear again. A stream of light flowed out of the flashing array and fell onto Bu Fang.

“Oh? Another guy is taking up the challenge!”

“That’s really bold! The challenge is not simple, and once he fails, his divine sense will suffer tremendous damage!”

“Young people nowadays are really aggressive.”

The nearby Divine Chefs all sneered when they saw the golden light that shrouded Bu Fang. Some smiled derisively, while some felt sorry for him. Luo Sanniang fixed her eyes at him, while those behind her watched intently with their breathing growing shorter.

Bu Fang had cracked the array in the span of five breaths. Could he complete the task?

“He must master the knife technique in half an hour and complete the task of cutting ingredients… Once he fails, his memory of the knife technique will be wiped off completely, and he will have to start all over again.” Luo Sanniang murmured under her breath, her eyes gleaming.

For many years, the task had stopped many Divine Chefs like an abyss that stretched across the ground. Even Earth Divine Chefs could not complete it. Could this young man work miracles?

Amid the light that enveloped him, Bu Fang opened his eyes. Golden characters were appearing and disappearing constantly in his pupils.

“The Kitchen Knife of Affliction…” Bu Fang muttered as the brand-new knife technique rushed into his head. Soon, he seemed to be very familiar with it.

The next moment, three food ingredients appeared in front of him. The first one was a big, fat white radish, the second one was a perfectly rounded and extremely tender white tofu, and the third one was… a tiny rice grain.

These three ingredients were the keys to this task. Luo Sanniang and the Divine Chefs held their breaths and grabbed the railing tightly.

“It has begun…”
