Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 137: Is this hotpot from Chaos Residence?
Watching Ao Ling’s eating speed pick up, Chen Nuo found it rather amusing.
"Your dish has already been awakened. No matter how much you eat, you won’t awaken any new Divine Skills," Chen Nuo reminded her.
So that’s how it is!
Ao Ling paused, then continued at the same pace. She had already spent a gemstone. Might as well eat as much as possible!
After all, things that could awaken Divine Skills, even if they lost effect, couldn’t be harmful no matter how much you ate them.
And the meticulous Ao Ling also noticed a key point. This dish!
Could it be that other dishes also have the effect of awakening Divine Skills?
Ao Ling thought while eating.
Chen Nuo’s mouth twitched. Why couldn’t she understand what he was saying?
Leave him some, he doesn’t have much left!
In the Heavenly Court, Maitreya Buddha, who had been extravagantly chowing down on ten tables’ worth of food, stopped to close his eyes and meditate.
The others were one thing, but Maitreya Buddha’s large stature made such actions instantly attract the attention of all the immortals in the Heavenly Court.
Just a moment ago, he had been wolfing down food like a starving ghost; now he was motionless. Anyone could tell that something strange was happening.
And the immortals who had eaten at Chaos Residence felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Holy shit!" Tian Peng exclaimed. Seeing other immortals turn their heads, he casually set up a soundproofing formation.
He beckoned to Erlang Shen and Nezha, speaking in a low voice, "Doesn’t Maitreya Buddha’s state look so similar to awakening Divine Skills in Chaos Residence?"
Tian Peng could be said to be a regular at Chaos Residence; he was more than familiar with the process of awakening Divine Skills.
Nezha didn’t show any reaction because he had to play it cool!
Yang Jian nodded slightly, his eyes circling with Mana as he looked at Maitreya Buddha, afraid of missing any details.
"It does seem to be so," he said. Although he had only gone once, he did witness Xiong Daoren’s awakening process, which was exactly the same,
"He was eating hotpot when he awoke his Divine Skills, so that means, could this hotpot be..." Tian Peng murmured, word by word.
Though he didn’t finish, Yang Jian and Nezha both knew what he was implying.
It’s the cuisine of Chaos Residence!
Yang Jian and Nezha simultaneously looked towards the greens cooking in the pot, their eyes revealing a sharp glint!
If not now, then when?
Tian Peng withdrew his gaze from Maitreya Buddha, about to say something, but when he glanced to the side, he saw Yang Jian and Nezha, both losing their cool.
"Holy shit, that’s the meat slices and shrimp balls I just put in! Didn’t you say you don’t like them? At least leave me some!" he protested.
"Come on, I’m the first VIP member of Chaos Residence. Show me some respect, will you?"
Tian Peng shouted while also joining the fray.
Is this...Sudden Enlightenment?
For a moment, the idea crossed the minds of every immortal, and they were filled with envy.
Sudden Enlightenment was not just about high aptitude; it also demanded a lot from one’s state of mind, timing, and disposition. It was a convergence of serendipity and harmony.
Maitreya Buddha actually achieving Sudden Enlightenment at the Flat Peach Banquet was truly a sign of tremendous fortune!
"Sudden Enlightenment, huh?"
Haotian fell into thought, feeling a bit embittered, to be honest.
In terms of tenure, he, the Lord of the Heavenly Court, had been around much longer than Maitreya Buddha. Yet, in all these long years, he hadn’t experienced even one moment of Sudden Enlightenment.
Sigh!
Haotian shook his head privately, thinking that Buddhism truly produced a prodigy.
He was resentful of Buddhism’s growing influence, yet there was nothing he could do. It was just like the words often on the lips of those in Buddhism: go with the Dao, the Heavens favor Buddhism.
No matter how much he obstructed them in the shadows, he could only alter a minor trend at best.
The greater forces were not to be defied.
If he were to openly oppose Buddhism and forcefully prevent its rise, not only would the two Saints of the West intervene directly, but even the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun would slap him to death.
"This Maitreya Buddha’s behavior looks so familiar," Bixiao exclaimed. "He looks just like big sister and second sister."
Yunxiao: "..."
Free from the spiciness, Qiong Xiao: "..."
They’re like Maitreya Buddha statues?
Yunxiao stretched out her hand, smiling as she stroked Bixiao’s hair, but when her slender jade fingers ran through Bixiao’s scalp, it made Bixiao shudder.
Qiong Xiao also put her longsword on the table, watching Bixiao with a chilly gaze.
Channeling energy through the sword, the entire longsword seemed exceedingly sharp.
"Little sister, could you repeat what you just said? I didn’t hear you clearly," Yunxiao and Qiong Xiao said at the same time, their expressions somewhat serene.
When it comes to looks, women really do care the most, even the usually amiable Yunxiao had a sting in her smile at this moment.
Not to mention the inherently proud Qiong Xiao.
Bixiao laughed awkwardly and hurriedly explained, "I meant the gesture, the gestures!"
"Does it resemble the posture of Awakening Divine Skills?"
She had seen the postures of Yunxiao and Qiong Xiao when they Awakened their Divine Skills, and the memory was fresh.
Upon hearing this, Er Xiao also looked towards Maitreya Buddha, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes. Well, actually, it did look similar.
Then she looked down again at the hotpot, could it be that this hotpot is...
"This hotpot must be from Chaos Residence!" Bixiao suppressed her excitement, quickly filling up her own bowl again.
It wasn’t easy to get a free meal at Chaos Residence; why not eat as much as you can?
If only she could Awaken Divine Skills too!
Yunxiao nodded her head, no wonder the taste was a cut above the dishes they had earlier; it was a dish from Chaos Residence.
Thinking this, Yunxiao also began to wonder, just who was the head chef of the Heavenly Court’s Imperial Kitchen to have Shopkeeper Chen personally cook!
Qiong Xiao, on the other hand, was about to continue her challenge against the spicy peppers, especially after learning it was a dish from Chaos Residence.
She wanted to redeem her earlier shame!
But when she saw Chang’e lifting the cooked bamboo shoots out of the red hotpot and casually eating them, one after another, she was stunned.
How could she eat them so effortlessly?!
Chaos Residence? What is that? And it can awaken Divine Skills?
Chang’e was somewhat puzzled, but she didn’t ask aloud, instead quietly noting it in her heart.
Palace Master must be widely aware of such things; surely she should know?
Savoring the bamboo shoots in her mouth, Chang’e suddenly felt the gaze upon her.
She stopped what she was doing and looked at Qiong Xiao, who was staring intently. Feeling a bit uneasy, she asked, "Madam Qiong Xiao, what’s wrong?"
Why did she look as though she wanted to gobble her up? She hadn’t done anything wrong.
"How exactly do you eat it, eating such spicy food without any reaction?" Qiong Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
Even she had to steel herself for it, yet someone else could eat it so breezily?
"I just ate it and it went down," Chang’e didn’t dare to delay, hurrying to respond.
She didn’t understand why Qiong Xiao would ask such a question. Although the food was very spicy, she didn’t know why, but when it reached her stomach, it felt just right.
Qiong Xiao: "..."
If others can, she definitely can too!
The very competitive Qiong Xiao was not willing to be outdone. She cheered herself up silently, once more picking up a piece of meat from the red pot.
Then, she was baffled again.
Apart from those who hadn’t had their fill, Qiong Xiao was the one most shortchanged by this meal.
On the other side, Maitreya Buddha was also gradually coming out of his Sudden Enlightenment.
He had actually Awakened Divine Skills?!
Maitreya Buddha’s eyes were filled with astonishment, and also...
Maitreya Buddha lowered his head, staring dumbfounded at the steaming hotpot, as if it was because of this very thing that he had Awakened...
It wasn’t as if, it clearly was!
What on earth was this hotpot?!
