Chapter 1229 A New Death Food Tool, the Crazy Sword Pot!

Bu Fang paused momentarily at the name Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path. He was no longer a cub just out of his cot.

The Netherworld was a vast world that included Ruin Prison, Earth Prison, and Nether Prison. It was truly a behemoth. Both the Hidden Dragon Continent, where Bu Fang stayed before, and the Immortal Cooking Realm, where he was now, were small compared with the whole Netherworld.

Since the Tournament of the Great Path mentioned by Realm Lord Di Tai was held by the Netherworld, the meaning behind it was very unusual.

Of the three prisons in the Netherworld, Ruin Prison was too weak to mention for the time being.

The relationship between Earth Prison and Nether Prison was not good enough for them to hold the tournament together. The previous Nether King had once led an army to attack Nether Prison, resulting in a terrible slaughter and countless casualties. Their relationship was supposed to be mortal enemies. How could they sit down and hold a tournament together?

“The three prisons of the Netherworld are one and inseparable,” Realm Lord Di Tai said with a wry smile when he saw the doubt in Bu Fang’s eyes. He knew that when he brought up the subject, Bu Fang would reject it. “Before this, the Immortal Cooking Realm is not qualified to take part in the Tournament of the Great Path because we were too weak, so we were always excluded from the tournament.”

Behind him, the few city lords listened curiously.

“However, the whole Netherworld has been in turmoil recently. The Abyss, Earth Prison, and the Immortal Cooking Realm are all pressuring Nether Prison, pushing the dominant Nether Prison into a passive situation. Therefore, what was originally just the Nether Prison’s Tournament of the Great Path has expanded into the Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path.”

The main reason for all this was that Nether Prison had become a bit vulnerable to outside pressure. As the leader of the Netherworld, Nether Prison was under pressure not only from Earth Prison, the Abyss, and the Immortal Cooking Realm, but also from many other places.

There were forbidden lands in Nether Prison, and the powers in these forbidden lands were not under its jurisdiction.

Whether in Earth Prison or Nether Prison, the existence of forbidden lands was like a bone stuck in the throat, which made them very uncomfortable and afraid.

Moreover, the Netherworld was not the only land in the vast starry sky. This secret was unknown to many people, but Realm Lord Di Tai knew it because he was the lord of the realm. In everyone’s view, the Netherworld was heaven and earth, the only world in existence, but that was not the case.

“Since it’s a tournament held by Nether Prison, why don’t you just send any people? Is it necessary to discuss it with me?” Bu Fang said.

Meng Qi and the others also looked at the realm lord, confused.

Although the relationship between the Immortal Cooking Realm and Nether Prison had eased in the past six months, they only needed to send people to participate in the tournament symbolically, a gesture to show that the realm was giving Nether Prison face. Why did they have to discuss it so seriously?

“No, it’s not that simple. This time, Nether Prison invited not only the powers in the Netherworld but also powers from all the surrounding continents and small worlds. They will compete and rank in the tournament, and the higher the ranking, the greater the reward. The biggest reward may even be the nourishment of the Netherworld’s Will of the Heavenly Path,” said Realm Lord Di Tai.

Meng Qi and the others gasped.

The nourishment of the Netherworld’s Will of the Heavenly Path?! How could anyone offer such a reward? Even Nether Prison couldn’t afford it, right?

The effect of the Will of the Heavenly Path was indisputable. If one could be nourished by it, one’s qualification would be greatly improved, and there was even a chance of becoming a Saint instantly. It was indeed a generous reward.

Even Bu Fang’s pupils shrank when he heard that.

Bu Fang still remembered that Lord Dog had bitten off a chunk of the Will of the Heavenly Path even when he knew he would be seriously injured. This spoke volumes about its benefits. If the reward was true, it would be enough to drive everyone crazy.

Nether Prison had really come up with a gift that no one could refuse.

“It hasn’t actually been announced yet. I got it from Ying Ya. He’s the Nether Prison genius who fought with me for the Divine Chef’s inheritance. But I’m sure the rest of the world will find out soon,” Realm Lord Di Tai said. “In a few days, Nether Prison should be sending experts to talk to us. This is actually a good opportunity for the Immortal Cooking Realm.”

Meng Qi and the others fell silent.

If the reward was really what Realm Lord Di Tai said, then they must send experts to take part in the tournament. Of course, if all the surrounding continents and small worlds were participating, then the Immortal Cooking Realm couldn’t just send any random people. Not only the realm’s honor was at stake, but it would be the time to show the realm’s strength.

Although the Immortal Cooking Realm was still slightly weak against Nether Prison, it couldn’t afford to fall into a weaker position when facing other planes. Honor was still very important for the realm.

“That’s the point.” Realm Lord Di Tai nodded. He felt that everyone should have understood what he meant.

Bu Fang naturally understood, but his mind hadn’t changed. What did it have to do with him?

He had been having a headache lately. He learned from the System that Whitey’s repair had been basically completed, but it couldn’t be revived due to the lack of the heart of a Three-revolution Sacred Nether Puppet. He was racking his brain to figure out how to get the puppet’s heart, so of course he wouldn’t be interested in participating in the tournament.

Suddenly, Bu Fang seemed to remember something. His eyes lit up, and he turned to Realm Lord Di Tai. “Will the nine clans of Nether Prison also participate in this so-called Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path? Will the Nether Puppeteer Clan also take part?”

That gave Realm Lord Di Tai a brief pause. He knew that the Nether Puppeteer Clan was the second-largest clan among the nine clans of Nether Prison, but why did Bu Fang ask this question now? Still, he nodded and answered, “Although the specific rules for this tournament have not been announced, according to normal circumstances, the Nether Puppeteer Clan will definitely take part. In fact, all nine clans will take part in the tournament.

“The Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path is originally the Nether Prison’s Tournament of the Great Path. Although they expanded it to include the entire Netherworld this time, it is still the arena of the nine clans. Earth Prison’s participants may be strong enough to compete against the geniuses of the nine clans, but participants from other small worlds and continents are mostly just making an appearance in the tournament.

“Nether Prison clearly wants to use this tournament as a link that can unite the entire Netherworld and the many small worlds around it. Its ultimate purpose is to unite forces.”

Unite forces?

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, while Meng Qi and the others were lost in thought. The purpose of uniting forces had always been to fight against something, but was there anything Nether Prison needed to fight against?

For a moment, they all didn’t understand.

“If the Nether Puppeteer Clan is going to participate in the tournament, I’ll participate as well,” Bu Fang said after considering for a moment. He thought it would be easier to find the puppet’s heart in the tournament.

Realm Lord Di Tai’s eyes lit up, and he nodded. He didn’t expect Bu Fang to give in so easily.

After that, they didn’t continue to talk about it.

After taking a look at the crowded restaurant, Realm Lord Di Tai bade farewell to Bu Fang and left with the few city lords to the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion, which was now the headquarters of the Immortal Cooking Realm.

Bu Fang went on with his leisurely life.

The days went by.

As Realm Lord Di Tai had predicted, Nether Prison soon sent experts into the Immortal Cooking Realm.

A huge metal warship appeared from behind the bronze gate, sailed into the Immortal Cooking Realm, and floated magnificently outside the Immortal City in the fifth layer. The terrible pressure it exuded made the experts on the wall tremble with fear.

Several Nether Prison experts stepped out of the warship and entered the Immortal City. After three sleepless days of discussion with Realm Lord Di Tai and the others, the warship flew back to Nether Prison.

Realm Lord Di Tai stood on the wall, his robes flapping in the wind as he stared at the departing ship with a deep look in his eyes.

…

The night fell.

The restaurant had closed after a busy day, but the kitchen was still brightly lit, from which a delicious smell wafted forth.

Bu Fang came out of the kitchen with steaming dishes. He placed a plate of drunken ribs in front of Lord Dog, whose eyes lit up and began to attack the food.

The table was also full of dishes.

Xixi was resting after a hard day’s work. To be able to relax while enjoying Bu Fang’s dishes was a very satisfying experience. Nethery, Flowery, and Black Dragon King also held out their chopsticks and tasted the dishes. Bu Fang ate with them. The aroma of dishes lingered in the restaurant.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and Xixi excitedly rushed into the kitchen, opened the portal, and stepped into the Heaven and Earth Farmland.

Xixi was very excited when the time came for her daily meeting with the other apprentices.

Bu Fang tidied up everything and breathed a soft sigh of relief. He was somewhat speechless. It seemed that he really needed to fix Whitey as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would have to handle many things himself.

With a thought, he also entered the farmland.

Niu Hansan had been waiting for him in front of the wooden hut.

“I’ve finally managed to integrate the Will of the Great Path into the Sword Feather Crane! The research on the Death Food Tool can continue now!” Niu Hansan said excitedly.

It took him more than half a year to successfully integrate the Will of the Great Path into the Sword Feather Crane. It was a complicated process.

Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. He took the crane from Niu Hansan and started cooking in the wooden hut. After half a year, he was already familiar with the cooking of Sword Pot.

After a long time, an aroma filled the wooden hut. In front of Bu Fang was a clay pot the size of a basin, which contained reddish-brown crane meat. This was the latest Sword Pot. Sharp beams of sword energy wheeled around it, making people feel a stabbing pain in their minds.

Although the cooking was completed, Bu Fang still had a difficult task, and that was to carve the Gourmet Array into the Sword Pot. Only then would the creation of the Death Food Tool be considered complete.

Buzz…

It was a very complicated process to carve a Gourmet Array. Bu Fang’s spirit sea was raging, and before him floated an earthy-yellow clay pot. A strong fragrance lingered around it, and sharp sword energy kept shooting out of it.

Niu Hansan had already run far away. He had a very accurate understanding of the power of Death Food Tools.

Buzz…

A faint white array appeared and was driven into the clay pot by Bu Fang. To his delight, there was no obstacle in the process. The array he used was Explode, which was the same as the Perishing Pot.

The sword energy in the clay pot became more and more violent as if it were about to explode and destroy everything.

Bu Fang didn’t stop there, however. He didn’t seem quite satisfied after fusing a Gourmet Array.

With a thought, thousands of light spots gathered in front of him, forming an Imprison array. Then, he slowly sent this array into the clay pot as well.

In the distance, when Niu Hansan saw what Bu Fang was doing, his face suddenly turned pale! “Is Owner Bu crazy?! He actually wants to merge two Gourmet Arrays?! He’s killing himself! A Gourmet Array is already very violent and difficult to control, let alone two! Is he courting death!?”

Niu Hansan shivered with fear, and he quickly ran further back before staring at Bu Fang’s movements.

Rumble!

A rumbling resounded through the air.

Bu Fang’s face lit up with excitement. He also had no idea what would happen if he added two Gourmet Arrays to a Sword Pot. He had tried with the Perishing Pot before, but the pot exploded the instant he added the Imprison array. This Sword Pot before him was different. He felt as if it could carry another array, so that gave him confidence.

His mental force poured out from his spirit sea and wrapped the Sword Pot like silk. It was an exhausting task even for Bu Fang.

The whole Heaven and Earth Farmland seemed to be shaking, causing Xixi and the others to look curiously in Bu Fang’s direction.

Buzz…

An invisible wave suddenly spread through the whole farmland. After that, a dazzling light broke out, then slowly faded away and finally disappeared.

There was a feverish look in Bu Fang’s eyes as he stared at the clay pot in front of him, which looked nothing unusual.

The Death Food Tool that had two Gourmet Arrays in it was completed!

A new Death Food Tool, the Crazy Sword Pot, was born!
