A plume of hot steam rose from the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, soaring into the sky like a roaring dragon and bursting in the clouds. It filled the air with a rich, refreshing aroma of noodles.While the noodle was being cooked, Bu Fang began to prepare the other ingredients.

He took out some fresh spirit vegetables with tender leaves that glowed like jade, which he picked in the Heaven and Earth Farmland, and placed them on a chopping board. Then, he produced his Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, spun it between his fingers, and chopped the vegetables into slices. The crunching sounds of the knife cutting through the vegetables made Tian Cang, who was holding the lotus petal in his mouth, blink.

After that, he removed the noodle from the wok. Shining like jade, it was as thin as silk and waved like a dragon’s whisker. He placed the steaming noodle in a bowl, then added a spoonful of broth he scooped out from the wok. As the broth filled the bowl, the noodle floated up and looked like a tangle of dragon whiskers.

The dish was not yet completed, though. Bu Fang sprinkled the chopped spirit vegetables into the wok, and after the boiling broth quickly softened them, he picked them out and placed them in the bowl. Then, he took out a spirit beast egg, cracked the shell, and made the egg float over a ball of white flame that burned in his other hand.

The egg sizzled over the flames. Its white turned solid in an instant, while its yolk jiggled in the middle. Bu Fang fixed his mental force on the yolk as an array emerged in front of him. It was not the Time Gourmet Array this time, but the Imprisoned Gourmet Array.

Yes, in addition to the Time Gourmet Array, the Imprisoned Gourmet Array was a must for the dish. Although the Time Gourmet Array could slow down time and thus delay Tian Cang’s soul from being pulled back by the Power of the Laws, it could not isolate him from it. By adding the Imprisoned Gourmet Array, the dish could temporarily isolate his soul from the Power of the Laws.

The duration of the isolation was not long, but it was enough. Together with the Time Gourmet Array and the Senseless Lotus, Bu Fang reckoned that the dish could bring Tian Cang back to life. Of course, from then on, the Nether King could not live without this noodle.

The egg white was twitching in the flame. It required skills to fry an egg, especially one that served as a side dish for the noodle. The yolk could not be overcooked because it would affect the taste, so it was best to fry it until seventy-percent cooked. An egg fried in this way would have an orange yolk, which was semi-solid.

As a rich egg aroma filled the air, Bu Fang waved his hand. The Imprisoned Gourmet Array immediately fused with the fried egg, and then the egg fell into the bowl, covering half of it.

The bowl of noodles was finally ready. Meatless, it was a simple bowl of noodles with only a fried egg and some vegetables. The noodles seemed a lot, but in fact, there was only one long, unbroken noodle.

Bu Fang called this simple bowl of noodles the Dragon Whisker Noodle. Or, it could be called the Longevity Noodle as well.

Tian Cang was amazed as he watched from the side. Bu Fang’s cooking was like a thrilling artistic performance, which completely intoxicated him and made him realize that cooking was also an extensive and profound art.

Bu Fang held the bowl of steaming noodles and glanced at Tian Cang. At last, he had finished cooking it. There were two Gourmet Arrays in it, and it had taken him a great effort to combine them perfectly. Although it looked simple, it was actually harder to cook than some complicated dishes.

‘Hopefully, this bowl of noodle can help Nether King Tian Cang…’

Even he wasn’t sure how effective this bowl of noodle was. Everything was just guesswork. Whether it could isolate the Power of the Laws or not, he could only try now. Otherwise, he had done his best.

Bu Fang walked up to Tian Cang, who was sitting on the ground, and handed him the bowl. “Your bowl of noodles is ready. Eat it with the lotus petal in your mouth,” he said seriously.

Tian Cang froze. ‘As simple as what? Can a bowl of noodles really resurrect me? Isn’t this a little too improper?’

“Scientifically speaking, the chances of success should be quite high…” Bu Fang added in a serious voice.

Bu Fang was so serious that Tian Cang didn’t know how to refute it. ‘Well, since I can’t argue with it, I might as well eat the noodles,’ he thought.

And so he did. He rolled up his tongue and swallowed the petal of the Senseless Lotus. Then, he took the bowl of noodles, which looked very simple with minimal ingredients. Sitting on the ground, Tian Cang held the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other. After glancing at Bu Fang one more time, he put his mouth to the bowl and took a sip of broth.

As soon as the thick broth rushed into his mouth, Tian Cang’s mouth, which could hardly taste anything at all, immediately came back to life. His lost sense of taste seemed to return at this moment, which made his eyes light up.

‘This broth is really delicious! It not only acts on the tongue and taste buds but also makes my soul feel a burst of pleasure!’

Tian Cang narrowed his eyes. He reached out his chopsticks, picked up the fried egg, put it into his mouth, and took a gentle bite. When his teeth bit through the yolk, the orange-yellow liquid inside flowed out slowly like sticky maltose. The slow-flowing yolk gave him a strange enjoyment. He sucked it into his mouth with his tongue, and a mellow taste filled his mouth at once. The egg was thick, somewhat sticky, but it gave him a joy that he had never experienced before!

Bu Fang watched Tian Cang eat and felt a little hungry himself. Perhaps the bowl of noodles was too tempting. Although it was just a simple dish, the noodle was not an ordinary one.

Tian Cang picked up the vegetables and put them in his mouth. The boiling water had not turned them mushy. Instead, they were crispy and had a fresh taste. After eating them, he felt that even his spirit was cheering. It was a feeling that was hard to describe.

After tasting the fried egg and vegetables, it was now the star of this bowl of Dragon Whisker Noodle’s turn. Tian Cang picked up the noodle with chopsticks and kept raising his hand to find the end of it, but he found that there seemed to be no end to it. He even put the bowl on the floor and stood up on tiptoe, but he still could not make it appear.

“Don’t waste your energy, just suck the noodle into your mouth slowly,” Bu Fang said.

Tian Cang grinned, then put part of the noodle in his mouth and began slurping. The thin noodle rushed into his mouth, twisting and turning like a long dragon whisker between his lips. As he slurped, the noodle in the bowl moved and stirred the broth, bringing it into his mouth as well.

His eyes grew bigger and bigger, and he felt as if he was about to reach the end of the noodle. Finally, with a jerk of his head, he pulled the last part of the noodle out of the bowl and slurped it down! He had finished the noodle at last!

Tian Cang had an urge to cry, but he couldn’t do that now, so he took the bowl and drank all the remaining broth that was still steaming. He felt that this bowl of noodles was the best food he had ever eaten. He was completely overwhelmed by it!

When Tian Cang finished eating everything, Bu Fang’s eyes focused, and he said, “Let’s begin!” The next moment, his spirit sea began to boil. The divine will Phantom Spirit in it opened its eyes again, and he sat in front of Tian Cang.

“Don’t talk and just feel the changes… There can be no mistakes next. What we’re going to do is to deceive the Transmigration!” Bu Fang said seriously.

Tian Cang nodded solemnly, then opened his mouth and burped. Suddenly, a burst of golden light exploded out of his body. The effects of the Time Gourmet Array, Imprisoned Gourmet Array, and the Senseless Lotus petal were triggered.

Tian Cang felt as if his soul was fleeting. At this moment, the bright golden light turned into golden rings, fell over his head, and completely wrapped him up. It was as if he was now trapped in a cage!

Bu Fang closed his eyes, raised his hand, and put his palm on the side of the golden rings. He heard a loud boom, then he felt as if he had entered a mysterious space. He opened his eyes and found that the sky and the earth were spinning.

The sound of footfalls rang out behind him. He turned around and saw a burly figure in the distance, who was none other than Tian Cang. However, his body was not the puppet’s body now.

Rumble!

Bu Fang and Tian Cang looked up at the sky at the same time. It seemed a little different, churning with a dull, lifeless light that looked like chaos.

Tian Cang stared at it with no joy or grief in his eyes. “This sky is the… Transmigration,” he said with a soft sigh as if he were talking to Bu Fang.

…

A strange light suddenly burst out of the Black Temple. Er Ha got up from the ground, and his eyes lit up. The light was different from the vortex of Lord Dog’s breakthrough. There was no doubt that it was not caused by Lord Dog. Since it wasn’t him, there was only one possibility—Bu Fang was resurrecting Tian Cang!

“They cannot be allowed to ruin dad’s hope of resurrection!”

The Nether King Armor on Er Ha’s chest had been dented where he’d been hit by the great hammer. The Earth Nether Puppet was really strong!

Boom!

A terrible energy ball flew toward them from a distance, rolling rapidly as if to destroy the sky and the earth. It was the enlarged Explosive Meatball fired by Foxy just now. It was their weapon, but at this moment, it was aiming for them. It was all because of that magical hammer!

With a cold face, Ice Saint floated up in the air and raised her hand. The next moment, a snowstorm began to spread from under her feet, rising into the sky. However, just when she was about to use this great power, her whole body was in pain as if she was being pierced by needles. She coughed up some blood, which turned the ice crystals red. As the owner of God Vanishing Mountain, Ice Saint was also punished by the Power of the Laws.

Buzz…

Despite the pain, she managed to build an ice wall to block the energy ball.

Boom!

The energy ball struck the ice wall hard, and a horrible explosion broke out instantly. For a moment, flames soared into the sky and illuminated the whole Earth Prison!

In the distance, Yellow Spring Great Sage pushed to his feet. Gravels clattered around him. When he saw the blazing sky, he produced the jade wine jar and took another sip of the wine, then put his index finger and thumb into his mouth and blew a whistle.

Roar!

A dragon roar could be heard, as if in response to his whistle. A moment later, the Blood Illuminating Dragon flew up from the distant sky and soon landed in front of him.

With the help of the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine, Yellow Spring Great Sage had made a full recovery from his injuries. He stepped on the dragon’s back, patted it on the head, and pointed to the direction of the Black Temple. The dragon focused its eyes, flapped its wings, and sped toward the Black Temple.

…

A cracking sound filled the air as lines spread across the thick ice wall. The power of the energy ball was extremely terrible. It had blown a massive hole through the other side of the ice wall, but fortunately, it was blocked.

Ice Saint staggered back with blood dripping from her nose and mouth. Like Er Ha, she would not allow anyone to stop Tian Cang’s resurrection!

Foxy curled up her chubby body in Nethery’s arms with her mouth open, as if she was wondering why her attack had been returned to them.

“Is it… blocked?” Er Ha breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Nethery, sitting on the Netherworld Ship, narrowed her eyes.

On the other side of the ice wall, a vague figure emerged, raised a great hammer, and smashed it down.

Boom!

The already crumbling ice wall was powerless against the blow. It completely cracked and broke into ice crystals, scattering all over the ground and revealing the Earth Nether Puppet’s graceful figure.

Clear footsteps rang out as Nether Puppeteer Patriarch came forward. With his cloudy eyes, he looked at the two strange places in the Black Temple. One of them was the vortex he was familiar with, and the other was a strange light that was flashing violently.

“What did you do to my Heaven Nether Puppet? You will be punished for tampering with such perfect work!” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch said in a hoarse voice. Then, he flicked his finger. A tiny metal bug shot out, turned into a beam of light, broke through the defenses of Er Ha, Ice Saint, and Nethery, and sped into the Black Temple.

As soon as the metal bug entered the Black Temple, it saw the Heaven Nether Puppet and Bu Fang sitting on the ground, and the golden rings emitting mysterious light.

Suddenly, a big palm came slapping down and knocked the bug to the ground, leaving a deep palm print on the floor.

Whitey’s mechanical eyes flashed as it raised its hand and scratched its round head.

Outside, what the metal bug saw was clearly reflected in Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s eyes. His face turned extremely cold in an instant.

“The inheritor of that man? He wants to resurrect Tian Cang? No way!”

Rumble!

A dreadful aura and pressure exploded out of Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s body as he moved, shooting forward like a flash of light and leaving countless afterimages in the air. He wanted to enter the Black Temple, and he was confident that no one present could stop him!

He raised his withered palm, which was full of terrible energy. He was going to destroy everything with one palm!

Suddenly, Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s pupils constricted.

A small, fair hand appeared and seized his withered palm. He could see a turquoise aura surging slowly over the hand!
