"The host has collected immortal energy. The system will start to fuse with this immortal energy..."
The system's serious voice echoed in Bu Fang's mind, causing him to narrow his eyes.
The system could detect immortal energy?
There was no doubt that the wisp of immortal energy in the token had been absorbed by the system.
The system fusing with immortal energy... What did this mean? Would immortal energy be able to increase the system's level, or would it increase his cultivation base?
Bu Fang contemplated as he stood still.
Lord Dog's words had jolted him.
He always thought that Lord Dog was mysterious. He had even planned to investigate Lord Dog's story after visiting the three Prisons of the Netherworld, but he ended up getting nothing.
Lord Dog was still unfathomably mysterious, and now, it seemed he also knew the Immortal Cooking Realm.
Bu Fang took a deep breath.
According to Lord Dog, there was a big gap between him and the chefs in the Immortal Cooking Realm, but he had no idea how large this gap was.
After all, he had never met a chef from the Immortal Cooking Realm before. The chef he had met in this bronze palace was just a clone made of from a wisp of immortal energy.
Bu Fang wasn't convinced.
His dishes were extraordinary, and they could defeat everything in the Valley of Gluttony.
Yet, Lord Dog still considered his cooking far-off from those chefs' skills in the Immortal Cooking Realm.
This was why Bu Fang wasn't convinced.
"Immortal energy fusion is complete. The turnover quest was completed ahead of schedule. The rewards are being dispensed..."
The serious voice of the system echoed in Bu Fang's head once more.
Bu Fang was astonished.
The immortal energy fusion was completed? The turnover quest was completed, too?
Bu Fang was a little bewildered, and his eyes shrank.
What did this mean? It meant the so-called immortal energy could promote his cultivation base?
Until now, Bu Fang had always thought his cultivation increased only based on the return he received from his restaurants. Never had he expected that immortal energy from the Immortal Cooking Realm could also increase his cultivation base!
Although he remained expressionless, he was actually thrilled.
His entire body shivered in joy.
He closed his eyes, calmed down, and looked at the system's panel.

As Bu Fang carefully read his stats in the system panel, he noticed many changes.
First, his cultivation base had advanced from one-step soul ladder Divine Soul Realm to peak of Divine Soul Realm. Now, he was able to activate the Divine Spirit Realm's challenge.
Bu Fang was cautious about this challenge, but he did not choose to activate it.
He had to prepare before taking the Divine Spirit Realm's challenge.
The Divine Soul Realm's challenge was not at all easy, so it only stood to reason that the Divine Spirit Realm's challenge would be much more difficult.
Bu Fang noticed that he had reached the High-grade Chef in the God of Cooking Overall Rating.
Was it really true that the High-grade Chef level was much weaker than the chefs in the Immortal Cooking Realm?
Bu Fang furrowed his brows. He did not like his cooking talent being questioned by others.
Lord Dog's statement had annoyed him, but it has also stirred in him a desire to win.
"System, what happened to the immortal energy? Also, do you know anything about the Immortal Cooking Realm?" Bu Fang asked.
Previously, he was just at the intermediate-grade chef level, so he wasn't qualified to access this sort of information. However, now that he was a high-grade chef now, Bu Fang thought it was worth asking again.
His eyes glimmered, waiting with hope for an answer.
After a while, the system finally answered him."Immortal energy is a high-level energy. When a chef uses it, he can increase the taste and energy of his dish. It can preserve a dish for ten thousand years."
Bu Fang was shaken.
So, immortal energy was the reason why that bowl of Yang Chun Noodles could stay up to ten thousand years.
The so-called transcendence, which the strongest demon king and the Valley of Gluttony's First Valley Master had been seeking, was immortal energy!
A wisp of immortal energy could do that?
How does one collect immortal energy?
"If you want to collect immortal energy, you can enter the Immortal Cooking Realm. The Immortal Cooking Realm is a high-level planet in the sea of stars. It has immortal energy, " said the system in its serious tone of voice.
"How do I enter the Immortal Cooking Realm?" asked Bu Fang.
"You have to wait until the Immortal Cooking Realm's Great Gate opens. After checking, there are three more years to the day the Immortal Cooking Realm's Great Gate opens, " the system answered.
"Three years... I still have enough time." Bu Fang nodded.
"System's request: If you want to enter the Immortal Cooking Realm, your cooking talent must reach 7-Star."
Bu Fang was bewildered.
His Cooking Talent had to reach 7-Star?
He was dumbstruck. From the system's panel, he could see that his Cooking Talent was currently at 6-Star.
He had to reach 7-Star to be qualified to enter the Immortal Cooking Realm. That meant he had to increase his Cooking Talent to 7-Star within the next three years.
Exhaling, Bu Fang was filled with motivation.
So what if there was an Immortal Cooking Realm? He wanted to become the God of Cooking, who would top the food chain in this fantasy world. As for the Immortal Cooking Realm, crush them!
Bu Fang was feeling lofty!
Lord Dog gazed at Bu Fang and noticed his aura continually rising.
The bronze palace trembled. The thick spirit energy in the air rushed toward Bu Fang.
A giant whirlpool appeared above him, giving rise to a sonic boom. The air had not been able to bear the pressure.
However, Bu Fang stood still. He could feel spirit energy surge into him, causing his cultivation to rise at a tremendous rate.
In his mind, transparent, jade-like soul ladder steps appeared, followed by a Divine Altar.
Nether King Er Ha rolled his eyes at Bu Fang.
Did Bu Fang want to break through?
"Well, this bronze palace gathers spirit energy from the Southern Region. It should be enough for him to break through, " the Nether King said.
Lord Dog yawned and lied down on the ground, then said, "This kid's journey has just begun. When he enters the Immortal Cooking Realm, he will have to face intimidating chefs."
Nether King Er Ha glanced at Lord Dog when he heard that.
"Mangy dog, you talk as though you've been to the Immortal Cooking Realm."
Lord Dog just smoothed his fur with its paw."You're right. Lord Dog used to take a walk in that place."
Nether King Er Ha was bewildered. However, he quickly pulled himself together. He knew that this mangy dog's identity was not ordinary, so it was not strange that it had visited the Immortal Cooking Realm.
Nether King Er Ha felt a bit of envy.
The Immortal Cooking Realm was the land where the top chefs of each world gathered. It must have a lot of good food.
It would be really nice if he could go there once. He might get a bunch of Spicy Strips to eat.
A long time later, the surging spirit energy finally calmed down.
Bu Fang slowly opened his eyes. It seemed many things had just vanished in his eyes.
He hadn't ignited the Divine Realm because he had yet to take the Divine Spirit Realm's challenge.
Buzz...
A mysterious wave of energy rippled and began to expand.
The strange energy concealing the entrance to the place underground disappeared.
The people sitting around the entrance suddenly widened their eyes.
Two figures slowly walked out of the darkness.
"You finally come out! Brat, give me back my opportunity!" The old man roared, dashing toward Bu Fang like a madman.
After he got expelled from the kitchen, he became restless and anxious. His transcendence, his opportunity...
Everything had been lost. Nothing was predestined to him!
He couldn't stand this level of grievance.
Bu Fang furrowed his brows, expressionlessly gazing at the charging old man.
Nether King Er Ha raised his hand and flicked a finger at the approaching old man.
A loud crack rang out.
The old man was blown away, crashing far from Bu Fang.
When Amethyst Elder saw Nether King Er Ha, his wrath was kindled, but there was no way for him to vent.
That fellow, he was here, too!
He was curious as to why his daughter, Zi Yun, had appeared here. Indeed, it was related to that young man!
When he thought about his daughter being captivated by a creature of the Netherworld, he felt a chill crawl through him.
Boom! Boom!
Two massive fists smashed the ground.
Suddenly, the strongest demon king leaped up from the ground, glaring at Bu Fang.
"You human snatched my opportunity? You acquired the transcendence?"
The strongest demon king's voice boomed like a thunderclap.
"No. This place doesn't have any transcendence, " Bu Fang seriously replied.
This was the truth. The strongest demon king and the Valley of Gluttony's First Valley Master had been deceived by legends.
This bronze palace had immortal energy, but it was just a wisp. To transcend, a wisp of immortal energy wasn't enough.
Hence, it was impossible to find transcendence in this bronze palace.
Simply put, the demon king and the Valley of Gluttony's Valley Master had been fooled.
"No transcendence? I don't buy it!" The sturdy demon king roared as he coldly stared at Bu Fang.
It was just a human, so he didn't put it in his eyes, but...
His eyes shifted to Lord Dog and Nether King Er Ha, who were both standing beside Bu Fang.
Of course, the strongest demon king knew these two.
His eyes shrank back in fright.
How could that man and that dog appear here?
With his hands clasped, Bu Fang expressionlessly gazed at the strongest demon king.
The strongest demon king wasn't content, however, and he continued to glare at Bu Fang. A moment later, he grumbled in a low voice, "I have waited for ten thousand years. Don't think you can take it so easily. I will be back."
After that, the strongest demon king snorted and began to walk out of the bronze palace. After a series of explosions, he disappeared.
Bu Fang exhaled, but his face remained expressionless.
He scanned the bronze palace for a while, and then, together with his companions, he left the palace.
...
Serpentmen City.
The serpentmen all raised their heads in curiosity.
This was because they had just realized that their city was being covered in moving starlight, which resembled dreamy, running water.
The serpentmen observed the starlight, completely captivated by it.
The source of the starlight was a hovering figure.
Her fine black hair fluttered gently.
A light dot appeared by her glabella, and suddenly, it bloomed, shooting straight up into the sky. It turned into a light beam that connected heaven and earth!
Boom! Boom!
...
Illusory Spirit Swamp
A giant figure suddenly appeared. Nether energy erupted, covering the entire sky!
This giant figure hovered arrogantly in the sky. He spread his arms, taking in the fresh air. His eyes showed his suspicion.
"I, the strongest demon king, am back!"
