Chapter 367: The Culinary Immortal Arrives, the Demon Clan’s Ambitions
The sudden voice made Su Wan’er, who was bowing her head to eat barbecue, lift her head.
The moment she saw the newcomer, Su Wan’er instantly stood up.
At the same time, Qian Ya, who was gagging from a distance, ran over.
“Human Clan junior Qian Ya (Su Wan’er) meets the Culinary Immortal!”
The two bowed respectfully, while Qian Ya kept signaling Chen Changsheng to get up quickly with her eyes.
However, at that moment, Chen Changsheng seemed as if he were blind, focused solely on eating the barbecue in his hand.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng was ignoring her, the newcomer did not get angry; instead, she smiled slightly and walked around Qian Ya toward Chen Changsheng.
“This barbecue is made from subpar materials, and the firewood used is ordinary as well.”
“However, the advantage is that the timing for grilling is quite well controlled, and the choice of seasoning is also noteworthy.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up at the person in front of him.
He saw that the newcomer had a pair of fluffy fox ears atop her head, and her graceful figure was enough to stir the hearts of all male creatures.
Her stunning beauty was, indeed, rare in a century.
Every move she made exuded an enchanting charm that penetrated to the bone.
“Chen Changsheng, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up to greet the Culinary Immortal.”
Seeing that Chen Changsheng remained silent, Qian Ya grew anxious and pulled him up.
“Forgive me, elder; this friend of mine just came down from the mountain recently and is not very familiar with the matters of the Nine Domains.”
Upon hearing this, the Culinary Immortal smiled and said, “No worries. Let’s sit down and talk slowly.”
With that, the Culinary Immortal cut another piece of fresh meat and began grilling it again.
Seeing that the Culinary Immortal was not angry, Qian Ya finally sighed in relief.
Taking a glance at the Culinary Immortal who was grilling meat and then at the nervous Qian Ya, Chen Changsheng said lightly, “Miss Ya’er, why are you so nervous?”
“Respecting the strong is indeed necessary, but you’re overdoing it.”
As soon as he said this, Qian Ya shot a glance at the Culinary Immortal beside her, and then pretended to argue.
“Can Elder Culinary Immortal be compared to others?”
“Looking across the entire Azure Realm, Elder Culinary Immortal’s strength is absolutely the best.”
“Moreover, among the Nine Domains, the Azure Realm is the most friendly to the Human Clan, all thanks to Elder Culinary Immortal’s hard work.”
“To say it’s not an exaggeration, Elder Culinary Immortal is a benefactor of our Human Clan.”
“Furthermore, Elder Culinary Immortal’s culinary skills are unparalleled; how many heroes and talents from all over the world wish to taste even a bit but can’t.”
“That we’re able to meet Elder Culinary Immortal today is truly a blessing.”
After listening to Qian Ya’s introduction, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“Hah!”
“What rubbish Culinary Immortal, just a greedy foolish fox.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng reached out and grabbed the Culinary Immortal’s ears, rubbing them with satisfaction.
“These ears are still so comfortable. With your level of cultivation, why leave a pair of ears out like this?”
Qian Ya, Su Wan’er:!!!
Chen Changsheng’s sudden action almost scared Su Wan’er and Qian Ya’s souls out of their bodies.
Strangely enough, the immense fury they imagined didn’t materialize; the Culinary Immortal only mildly swatted Chen Changsheng away.
“Don’t touch my ears, it itches!”
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and then grabbed the piece of barbecue from the Culinary Immortal’s hand, saying, “Over the years, you’ve done a lot. You really have a tough time.”
Hearing this, the Culinary Immortal replied lightly, “Actually, the situation in the Nine Domains is not as calm as it appears on the surface.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze, who had finished eating barbecue, got up and urged Qian Ya and Su Wan’er to leave.
“There’s a treasure over there. Let me take you to find it.”
Regarding this clumsy excuse, Qian Ya and the others certainly did not believe it.

Chen Changsheng did not speak, clearly not wanting to hear those contents.
After Qian Ya and the others left, Chen Changsheng began, “What’s going on? Please explain in detail.”
Hearing this, the Culinary Immortal let out a light sigh and said, “Since the Demon Emperor took control of the Heavenly Mandate, the Demon Clan’s ambitions have been swelling day by day.”
“Not only has the Beast Clan’s territory been mostly swallowed by the Demon Clan, but the Human Clan and the Divine Clan have also faced great oppression.”
“If the Demon Emperor were still alive, things might have been kept in check.”
“But since the d*ath of the Demon Emperor, no one has been able to curb the development momentum of the Demon Clan.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng frowned and said, “How could this happen? The foundations of the Human Clan and the Divine Clan aren’t weak.”
“Even though the Human Clan suffered severe injuries in the last two major wars, there’s still the Divine Clan.”
“If the two clans united, wouldn’t they still have the ability to protect themselves?”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s confusion, the Culinary Immortal smirked and said, “Under normal circumstances, that is indeed the case, but something unexpected occurred during the battle against the Celestials.”
“The Demon Emperor sacrificed himself to block most of the attacks aimed at the Demon Clan’s experts, and precisely because of this…”
“The strength among the Human, Demon, and Divine clans has thoroughly become unbalanced. Moreover, since the Beast Clan’s defeat, the majority have joined the Demon Clan.”
“This means that the Human Clan and the Divine Clan have naturally become no match.”
“And what about later?”
“I can’t believe that all the masters from the Human and Divine clans are dead; as long as there are some experts stationed, the treatment of the two clans shouldn’t be this poor.”
“They’ve all gone into hiding; the current era is the era of Thunder Tribulation.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng raised his brows and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“Since the Jade Emperor fell, the rules of the entire world have undergone some changes.”
“For those ancient fossils who have not cultivated the Sea of Suffering physical constitution, the Heavenly Path will send down Thunder Tribulations.”
“Those who can survive the Thunder Tribulation live, while those who cannot only have d*ath as the only option.”
“Additionally, prodigies with too much strength will also face Thunder Tribulations; presently, very few living beings in the Nine Domains have survived such tribulations.”
“Even if there are a handful of beings that have survived, they are the prodigies of the new era.”
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he continued, “So the ones controlling the world now are the prodigies of this era?”
“Yes.”
“And the Mountain River Academy?”
“The Mountain River Academy is a means I left behind to balance the world. Why has it not been effective at all?”
“Because the Mountain River Academy has also been infiltrated, though the infiltration is not complete.”
“The Mountain River Academy is an organization, and its purpose is to teach without discrimination.”
“The rapid development of the Demon Clan and the constant changes in personnel within the academy; now, the Demon Clan has already occupied half the seats.”
“That is why the Mountain River Academy has been hindered.”
“Hahaha!”
After hearing the Culinary Immortal’s description, Chen Changsheng laughed.
“Interesting. It’s only been a few thousand years, and the plans I set up are about to be completely destroyed.”
“No one ultimately can handle the overall situation; this responsibility is on the scholar’s shoulders.”
“Where has he been disappearing for so long?”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s smiling face, the Culinary Immortal spoke softly, “Sir, what do you plan to do? Exterminate the Demon Clan?”
As she said this, Hu Tudou’s mood dropped somewhat.
Choosing between one’s race and one’s old friends is truly difficult.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and patted Tudou’s head, saying, “What are you thinking? I’m not a murderer; I don’t k*ll people for no reason.”
“In this situation, not only will I not suppress the Demon Clan, but I will instead assist them.”
Upon hearing this, Tudou looked up at Chen Changsheng in confusion.
