Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 738 - 715: Super Creation Emperor Level Chef (2/3)
Chapter 738: Chapter 715: Super Creation Emperor Level Chef (2/3)
After advancing to the Sublimation King, Zhou Heng did not immediately leave the Immortal Residence. Instead, he first increased the number of combination sets in the broken runes of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture.
This was too important. Each additional broken rune brought a significant enhancement to his battle power!
Advancing from the Sunshine Emperor to the Sublimation King represented a qualitative leap, sufficient to support Zhou Heng in attempting even more. In one fell swoop, he advanced the minor healing runes to one hundred thirty-one and even boosted the minor attack runes to one hundred fifty-seven!
He believed, even if a Sublimation Emperor stood still and let him strike, they would be bombarded to pieces by the minor attack runes!
Of course, there was no Sublimation Emperor in the world who would do such a foolish thing!
Although his current strength had not yet breached the barrier of realms, preventing him from battling a Sublimation Sovereign, when combined with the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, his battle power was absolutely on par with a typical peak Sublimation Sovereign!
—The "typical" being unlike Bing Xinzhu, who had mastered other Heavenly Scriptures.
Zhou Heng sat motionlessly. He actually had not fully unleashed his combat potential.
He possessed two high-tier immortal artifacts. The Hundred Ghosts Sword need not be mentioned; it could summon spiritual power ghost creatures similar to his level of strength, which would automatically enhance as his strength improved.
Although the Black Sword itself did not come with any special effects, its invincibility alone sufficed to compensate for many shortcomings. Moreover, the ferocious sword qi from the Black Sword was lethal when it struck vital points, and even a non-fatal blow would cause incessant bleeding, almost incurable!
In utilizing the Black Sword, he had always kept it for the final blow to absorb Life Essence Qi. Wasn’t he underestimating this treasure artifact?
How could he increase the Black Sword’s utilization rate?
The Feiyu Seven Swords was not a high-tier immortal technique. After his advancement to the Sunshine Emperor, it basically lost its usefulness, a feeling that had become stronger after he ascended to the Status of Sunshine King and even more so after he became a Sublimation King.
The Sky-soaring Nine Forms were too exquisitely noble; employing them exhausted his strength, and this had not changed even after his ascension to Immortal or upgrading to Sublimation King. Consequently, there wasn’t a sword technique left to fill the gap.
If he were to use high-tier pills as bargaining chips, he believed many wealthy families would exchange Sublimation Realm, or even Creation Realm level sword techniques with him. However, he might still be able to do even more.
Zhou Heng left the Immortal Residence and immediately sought Dongguo Heng, proposing to help the Dongguo Family refine five pills of at least Eighth Grade for free, in exchange for a sword technique no lower than the Sublimation Realm.
For the Dongguo Family, this deal was an absolute steal!
What level of affluent family was the Dongguo Family?
Any martial family capable of establishing a foothold in Juexian City possessed, or had once possessed, a Super Creation Emperor level expert, thus their inherited cultivation techniques were definitely at least at the level of Creation Emperor!
If Zhou Heng had asked to observe such a technique, any family would have hesitated because once a technique was leaked, it could be exploited by others.
However, Zhou Heng only asked to learn a sword technique at the Sublimation Realm level. For a family of Super Creation Emperors, this was like a billionaire tossing a few coins to a beggar—it didn’t hurt them at all!
Dongguo Heng readily agreed and even felt somewhat embarrassed inside; he had taken advantage of Zhou Heng once again.
He highly admired the brilliant move he had made back then. Had it not been for that, why would Zhou Heng need to approach the Dongguo Family now? If he had simply circulated a message, countless people in Juexian City would break their heads to strike this deal!
Zhou Heng was not at a loss either. For him, alchemy was an effortless task—this was truly a win-win situation.
He returned to his residence with a sword compendium, a sword technique "gifted" by the Dongguo Family, named "Starry Sky Sword Technique." It consisted of eighteen moves, each more powerful than the last, with the final move being comparable to a Creation Realm Immortal Technique!
—Dongguo Heng had indeed shown good faith, as this Starry Sky Sword Technique was of high caliber even among the Sublimation Realm level immortal techniques.
Zhou Heng flipped through the pages, visualizing each sword move in his mind, seamlessly connecting them all.
His physique could only be considered ordinary, but his comprehension... even Huo Tian would marvel at it and feel inferior!
In just a few seconds, he had completely demonstrated the sword technique in his mind, as if he had immersed himself in it for countless years.
Hum, as he summoned the Black Sword, the Starry Sky Sword Technique was now executed by Zhou Heng.
As eternal as the stars, as majestic as celestial clouds, although it was the first time Zhou Heng employed this sword technique, there was no awkwardness; he had already mastered the essence of the sword technique.
"Dongguo Heng said that he mastered the form of the Starry Sky Sword Technique in three months, the spirit in five years, and finally grasped its essence in seventy-three years, and only after one hundred thirty-four years did he truly integrate and understand it!"
Zhou Heng sheathed his sword, revealing a faint smile. He mused, "If he knew that it only took me a few minutes to achieve what took him over a hundred years, might he lose his mind and slash his own throat with a sword?"
"However, the reason I sought the Starry Sky Sword Technique was not this!"
Zhou Heng sat cross-legged; what he truly intended to do was to imprint the minor attack runes on the Black Sword, unleashing even fiercer battle power.
Even if the Hundred Ghosts Sword was a Creation King level Immortal Artifact, under the continuous flow of the minor attack runes, being worn down over time, this immortal artifact could potentially shatter! Only the Black Sword, which could even suppress Heavenly Scriptures, could surely withstand the might of the minor attack runes.
How terrifying would the Starry Sky Sword Technique be when combined with the Minor Attack Rune?
Zhou Heng was already eager!
And Gongyang Taisun was the first one to taste it!
Zhou Heng sat still like a boulder, but the Black Sword kept flickering with a strange and inexplicable brilliance, demonstrating his progress.
Ten minutes, half an hour, two hours, time silently passed.
The Blood River Heavenly Scripture was far more profound than the Starry Sky Sword Technique, which slowed Zhou Heng’s progress compared to before. However, his intellectual prowess was absolutely that of a genius among geniuses, even Huo Tian admitted he was inferior!
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a deeper-than-darkness gleam flashed briefly.
He had succeeded!
He operated the Black Sword, buzzing, and immediately a brilliant golden light shined from the blade, circulating a terrifying power that could daunt the spirit.
—He had already integrated the Minor Attack Rune into the Black Sword, allowing him to strike with the power of the sword techniques, increasing the destructive force a hundredfold!
"Hahaha!" he laughed loudly, now confident he could definitely win in a fight against Bing Xinzhu! And since Gongyang Taisun was only comparable in battle power to Bing Xinzhu, he was sure to win the battle in four days.
"Brother-in-law, are you out of seclusion?" Bing Xiulan bounced over.
Zhou Heng’s face darkened, saying, "Why are you still here?"
If it wasn’t because of this girl’s meddling in relationships, he wouldn’t have gotten involved with Bing Xinzhu, and certainly wouldn’t have ended up fighting Gongyang Taisun over nothing. He wasn’t afraid to fight, but he disliked senseless battles.
"Why can’t this miss be here?" Bing Xiulan rolled her eyes at Zhou Heng, "Oh, that’s not the point. Let’s go eat at Thousand Rain Tower, their food is so delicious. How long has it been since this miss last ate there? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, oh, not enough fingers!"
She grabbed Zhou Heng and ran off, calling out as they went. Feng Lianqing also rushed over, a genuine foodie who couldn’t miss such a good opportunity.
Seeing Feng Lianqing, Zhou Heng couldn’t help thinking of his nominal disciple, Wang Ke, and felt a pang of guilt. He had hardly taught the little foodie anything; instead, it had been Feng Lianqing’s father who looked after him.
However, Helian Dong took care of the little foodie for him, while he took care of Feng Lianqing for Helian Dong. It seemed even!
Yeah, definitely even!
Thinking of Feng Lianqing’s quirky spirit, Zhou Heng developed a headache. Definitely even, and painfully so!
With the two women pulling him left and right, Zhou Heng and the party soon arrived at Thousand Rain Tower. Of course, a Black Donkey followed them, how could it miss such an occasion.
Thousand Rain Tower was one of the rare businesses in Juexian City. It’s said the owner was a chef before he embarked on the Immortal Path, and by some stroke of luck, he came across a Peerless Technique. Being a genius feigning simplicity, he soared to the Creation Realm in just thirty thousand years.
And a hundred thousand years later, he had become a Super Creation Emperor and opened a restaurant here to continue perfecting his culinary skills.
Of course, not just anyone could taste the culinary art of a Super Creation Emperor-level chef. He only made three dishes a day and spent the rest of his time honing his culinary skills. Even other Super Creation Emperors could not persuade him to cook.
In Juexian City, everyone was proud to have tasted the dishes made by this super chef, viewing it as a great honor. Even if they couldn’t taste it, it was also fine because it was a social interaction. Why not give this Super Creation Emperor face by dining here?
So, there was a queue every day.
"So many people!" Feng Lianqing licked her red lips, showing a drooling look, "It must be delicious! Definitely delicious! I’m hungry, Zhou! I’m hungry, I want to eat! I want to eat!"
Her eyes turned red, as if she could swallow Zhou Heng whole.
"Zhou, I’m also hungry!" the Black Donkey added fuel to the fire. In this place rich with nature’s spiritual energy, the effects of the Heaven-Earth Fruit were significantly apparent, helping this cunning donkey break through to Sunshine Sovereign and achieving the Six Wheels Sunshine Sovereign, almost ready for another breakthrough!
"Queue up!" Zhou Heng sighed. Everyone in front of him was young people from various families, and likely no one recognized him, a newly promoted Holy Pharmacist, to let him cut the line.
"Zhou, let me handle this!" the Black Donkey ran off, and after a while, it came back, saying, "Zhou, I’ve set up a challenge for you. If you win, we can switch places with the people in the front!"
"What if I lose?" Zhou Heng stroked his chin and smiled. He was expecting nothing good from the Black Donkey’s next words.
"If you lose, you’ll give these two girls to those guys as maidservants!" Indeed, the Black Donkey lived up to Zhou Heng’s expectations.
"Stupid donkey looking for a beating!" Feng Lianqing and Bing Xiulan immediately swung their embroidered fists at it.
"These two girls are pretty. Let’s take the bet!" Over at the front, a group of five young men walked over, the lead man taking a glance at Feng Lianqing and Bing Xiulan, immediately showing an astonished expression. (To be continued.
