Chapter 296: Chapter 108: Glowing Cuisine

"Namaste!"

A brilliant Buddha Light, like flowing water, streamed from outside the Wanfu Pavilion into its interior, issuing an immense radiance and conveying a sense of purity.

Everyone felt the Buddha Light as if it were the rising sun, bringing endless brightness; those with weak hearts even developed thoughts of conversion.

"Humph. Children should not speak of uncanny strength and chaotic spirits."

With a snort filled with ’Vast Righteous Qi’ from the Confucian school, Ouyang Yan disdainfully said, "Acting like spirits, merely deceiving with hollow grandeur."

The previously serene atmosphere dispersed with this disruptive snort, and even the vast light slowly faded into nothingness.

However, the sudden appearance of nine Daoist figures inside the Wanfu Pavilion sent a chill down the spine of many seasoned warriors present.

As the Buddhist chant resonated, many had already heightened their alertness, yet with so many people present, not one had noticed when these nine monks had entered the Wanfu Pavilion.

Even Qing Yu, endowed with ’Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill,’ saw it the same way. These nine monks seemed to have journeyed on light, suddenly appearing inside Wanfu Pavilion with that radiant Buddha Light.

’This should not be.’ Qing Yu thought to himself.

These Esoteric Sect monks, still fearing annihilation by the Zen Sect, had none from the Divinity Realm show themselves. These nine monks were led by Monk Yuan Cheng, whom Qing Yu recognized. Among the masters currently revealed by the Esoteric Sect, he was the highest in Realm.

But even Monk Yuan Cheng’s Realm was only at True Pill Realm, still not achieving the transcendental Divinity Realm. Although Qing Yu’s ’Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill’ could not fully trace his movements, it should have been able to detect some trace.

Moreover, not just Qing Yu, but from the stern expression on Ouyang Yan’s face, it seemed he too had not seen through them.

Ouyang Yan, also an expert of the True Pill Realm like Yuan Cheng, could not possibly be deceived by Yuan Cheng appearing instantly in Wanfu Pavilion with eight Divine Origin Realm warriors.

Yes, the other eight monks were all Divine Origin Realm warriors. Their situation was quite evident to Qing Yu, not entirely exposed but about eighty to ninety percent clear.

Reasonably, these eight people should absolutely be unable to evade the eyes of Qing Yu and Ouyang Yan. Yet they had.

However, regardless of what the seated crowd thought, the reality that these nine Esoteric Sect monks had demonstrated their might was undeniable. Feng Tianming, sitting at the higher position and looking at the solemn-faced Ouyang Yan, revealed a slight smile and said, "Master Yuan Cheng, thank you for your efforts."

"Namaste," Yuan Cheng, with palms joined, responded, "The Great Zhou enjoys long-lasting peace and prosperity, His Majesty possesses intelligent and holy virtues. It is only right to recite scriptures and pray for the welfare of Great Zhou and His Majesty. There is no trouble in this."

Having said that, Yuan Cheng instructed the eight monks behind him, "Fellow disciples, begin."

The nine men suddenly sat cross-legged, and their bodies emitted the same radiant Buddha Light as before. Their True Qi linked in an inexplicable Array Formation, converging into one unified whole, with an Array Map faintly appearing beneath them.

’This is... the Nine Meeting Mantra.’ Qing Yu, observing the Array Map, gained an understanding.

Just like the five individuals from Qiangong Castle he had previously encountered, including Kong Hai, Yuan Cheng and the other eight also used this paramount Array Formation of the Esoteric Sect to unify their True Qi completely. This granted Yuan Cheng and the others a part of the atmosphere of the Divinity Realm, enabling them to arrive instantly at Wanfu Pavilion without Ouyang Yan, also in the True Pill Realm, noticing.

And now, what could Yuan Cheng and the others possibly want to achieve with this Nine Meeting Mantra Array?

"Vajra is equality achieving true awakening, great Bodhi is as solid as vajra for it embodies equality; justice is equality achieving true awakening, great Bodhi has one meaning for it embodies equality; law is equality achieving true awakening, great Bodhi is inherently pure for it embodies equality; all actions are equality achieving true awakening, great Bodhi is free from all distinctions."

As the chanting continued, the Buddha Light radiating from Yuan Cheng and the other eight grew brighter yet remained non-blinding to the eyes.

Countless golden "Swastika" symbols, expelled from the mouths of nine monks, spiraled upwards, merging about ten feet above to form a large golden Swastika.

Subsequently, this Swastika, under the propulsion of Yuan Cheng and others, slowly rotated and flew above the pot brimming with Laba Porridge, abundantly shedding the Buddha Light, which gradually seeped into the porridge.

This process lasted an entire quarter of an hour.

"Amitabha, go."

Yuan Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and gestured in the air, lifting the white jade bowl that had been prepared earlier with True Qi, suspending it in mid-air.

After that, from within the pot, golden light radiated in all directions, numerous sand-like objects burst from the pot, flying neatly into each suspended white jade bowl.

"Damn, there really is glowing food." With Qing Yu’s sharp eyesight, he clearly observed that these sand-like substances were the main dish of Laba Festival—the Laba Porridge.

After the unknown manipulations by Yuan Cheng and others, this originally plain coarse food now shone brilliantly with golden light, unlike any mundane substance.

Once all the white jade bowls were filled with Laba Porridge, guided by True Qi, they gently descended onto the table in front of each individual, landing right in the center.

After completing these tasks, Yuan Cheng stood up, holding the last two bowls of Laba Porridge that hadn’t been distributed by True Qi, walked slowly onto the high platform, approached Feng Tianming, and presented the two bowls, "Your Majesty, Empress, please!"

This monk is truly ruthless!

Everyone present couldn’t help but think this when they saw this scene.

A True Core Realm master could be called a "Land of Immortals," marking the beginning of a life transformation. Even Feng Tianming, as the sovereign of a nation, could not ask such a figure to serve porridge.

However, Yuan Cheng now voluntarily undertook this task, setting aside the pride of True Core Realm Martial Artists—how could this not be deemed ruthless?

At this moment, in Feng Tianming’s heart, the Esoteric Sect monks seemed much more sensible than the Confucian scholars.

Regarding this scene, the expressions varied among the audience. Only Ouyang Yan, who was no longer wearing his previous stern expression, casually said "Let’s eat porridge," dismissing this shocking scene.

"It seems there’s more to this." Qing Yu pondered in his heart.

Then, he too dismissed the scene and prepared to taste the consecrated Laba Porridge.

However, this...

The golden Buddha Light had completely dyed the Laba Porridge gold, and now with his "Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill," Qing Yu could see strands of Buddha Light flowing within the porridge, making it appear full of sacred aura.

However, no matter how filled with sacred aura, it couldn’t disguise that the Laba Porridge had turned a golden hue, uncomfortably reminiscent of something one produces after a bout of stomach upset.

This uncomfortable association made Qing Yu aware of the likely benefits of the porridge, yet he had no urge to take a bite.

"Junior brother, what’s wrong?" Zeng Yue, sitting beside Qing Yu and seeing him staring at the consecrated Laba Porridge without moving, couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

"Senior brother, I suddenly feel nauseous."

At this moment, Qing Yu’s face was unusually filled with bitterness.
