A group of people stared blankly as they watched Piao Buqi and Laotiangou eat.
"This is truly delicious, the best food I've ever tasted. Even phoenix livers and bear paws are not as good." Piao Buqi licked his lips after finishing and asked a member of the Dragon Team, "What dish is this?"
"It's stir-fried beef with onions," the Dragon Team member replied.
"What kind of meat is beef?" Piao Buqi was a little confused.
He had heard of Minotaurs, but one couldn't eat them.
"Never mind what kind of meat it is, as long as it's delicious. Give us another portion of the same," Piao Buqi, still unsatisfied, continued to instruct the Dragon Team member.
"Okay." The Dragon Team member nodded and turned to prepare more dishes.
"It's indeed delicious. Try some of mine," Laotiangou said, grabbing a handful and offering it to Piao Buqi.
Piao Buqi took a bite and then licked Laotiangou's hand, saying, "Mmm, yours is good too. Lick my bowl to taste it."
Dongfang Wenkang watched, his eyebrows twitching. "Are these people from the Divine Realm?"
Besides their high cultivation, their lives were worse than his own.
Such a life, no matter how high their cultivation, was not worth having.
Of course, it wasn't as dire as Dongfang Wenkang imagined; they simply hadn't tasted such flavors before.
As a foodie, anything that tasted good made him salivate.
"Captain, the phone has signal."
Fu Wenming, the captain of the Dragon Team, was stir-frying when a team member approached him with a phone.
"Oh? There's signal here?" Fu Wenming was taken aback. He then looked at the shattered barrier in the sky and understood.
"Yes, there is," the team member confirmed.
"You take over the cooking. I'll find a place to contact the Dragon Group Leader," Fu Wenming said, tossing aside the spatula.
After taking a few steps, Fu Wenming turned back to the person who took his spatula and instructed, "Xiao Liu, add more MSG."
"Huh? Won't adding more MSG make it bitter?" Xiao Liu was surprised.
"They just like that taste," Fu Wenming said before leaving.
As Fu Wenming prepared to report the matter to Long Aotian, Dongfang Wenkang also found an excuse to slip away home, intending to have his granddaughter notify Xia Feng, as she had a device that could make calls.
Piao Buqi and Laotiangou paid no mind to what these people were doing. In their eyes, this was a lower civilization, and any conspiracy or scheme was mere illusion in the face of absolute strength.
When Dongfang Wenkang returned home, Dongfang Lingyu was still asleep. He walked over, knocked on her door, and called out, "Lingyu, wake up. Grandpa has something to tell you."
"What is it? We can talk later," Dongfang Lingyu's lazy voice came from inside the room.
Dongfang Wenkang continued to call out, "It's about Xia Feng."
*Rustle, rustle...*
There was a commotion inside the room. A moment later, Dongfang Lingyu opened the door and asked, "Grandpa, tell me."
"Don't you have a mobile phone to contact them? Two people claiming to be from the Divine Realm are going to Kunlun Mountain to find the Qilin," Dongfang Wenkang explained the situation.
Dongfang Lingyu was startled and said, "Then I'll go out and make a call right away."
"Call now? It's already so late," Dongfang Wenkang urged.
"Grandpa, there's no signal here." Dongfang Lingyu took out her phone and quickly turned it on.
Dongfang Wenkang didn't understand signals and felt the device was useless, at least not working inside.
"Oh, there's a signal! I'll call now." Dongfang Lingyu's face lit up as she saw two bars of signal on her phone.
"Then hurry," Dongfang Wenkang urged.
Dongfang Lingyu didn't have Xia Feng's number, but she had Xia Lin's. It was all the same anyway.
She only had a few numbers on her phone. Finding Xia Lin's number, she dialed directly.
The call was answered after a few rings. Xia Lin's voice came through, "Lingyu, Happy New Year."
"Sister Lin'er, something big has happened! Someone wants to find Doudou," Dongfang Lingyu exclaimed urgently.
Xia Lin was surprised to hear someone wanted to find Doudou. What did that mean?
Wasn't Doudou in Kunlun Mountain?
Could someone actually find her there?
"Don't rush, tell me what's going on," Xia Lin said, trying to comfort her and then asking.
"My grandpa said two people came to the Cultivator Guild and claimed to be from the Divine Realm. They want to go to Kunlun Mountain to find Doudou," Dongfang Lingyu explained the situation to Xia Lin.
Hearing this, Xia Lin knew she had to inform Xia Feng immediately. She said, "Lingyu, be careful. I'll tell my brother right away."
"Okay, goodbye, Sister Lin'er," Dongfang Lingyu replied.
After they hung up, Xia Lin ran upstairs.
"Brother... Someone wants to find Doudou," Xia Lin shouted as she ran into Xia Feng's room.
"I know," Xia Feng nodded.
Xia Lin then noticed Long Aotian in the room. Long Aotian must have just told her brother about this, as many members of the Dragon Team were at the Cultivator Guild.
"What should we do then?" Xia Lin asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'll go pick up Doudou later. I also want to see how they managed to enter Kunlun Mountain," Xia Feng said, comforting Xia Lin, who looked worried.
"Okay, if it's fine, then it's fine," Xia Lin nodded, then turned and left the room.
After Xia Lin left, Long Aotian asked, "Master, what is this Divine Realm you speak of?"
"The Divine Realm is above the Immortal Realm. Only after reaching the late stage of Immortal Emperor will Immortal Realm cultivators break through to become True Gods and ascend directly to the Divine Realm," Xia Feng explained simply.
Long Aotian listened, feeling lost. They had only just gone to the Immortal Realm, and now there was a Divine Realm?
More importantly, he was only at the Tribulation stage. Wasn't this too far off?
(Xia Lin's cultivation was changed earlier to the Nascent Soul stage. Jack Ma and the others are at the Golden Core stage, while only Long Aotian and Du Lapid are at the Tribulation stage.)
"This... Master, what about those two from the Divine Realm? They are from the Divine Realm!" Long Aotian became anxious.
He knew Xia Feng's strength was only at the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor. Wouldn't trash from the Divine Realm have the strength of a True God?
Compared to that, Xia Feng couldn't win.
"It's alright. Upon arriving on Earth, the Heavenly Dao will suppress their strength," Xia Feng shook his head.
No matter who it was, their strength would be suppressed to the Mahayana stage upon arriving on Earth.
Therefore, Xia Feng was unconcerned. In terms of equal strength, Xia Feng had always been invincible, plus he had three divine artifacts in hand. Wasn't this like playing with a dog?
"That's good, that's good," Long Aotian nodded, relieved.
"Alright, don't worry. Next time you go to the Immortal Realm, work hard to improve your strength. I will provide you with infinite cultivation resources. What will you do when I eventually go to the Divine Realm?" Xia Feng instructed, looking at the worried Long Aotian.
