Can't keep up with the grind in the cultivation world anymore? Chu Yan, the master of slacking off at Tianyan Sect, has a solution: simmer heavenly tribulations over a low flame, and why ascend when you can all get together for a meal?
This genius turned his life-bound magic treasure into a black iron wok and invented the unique Turtle-Breath Tribulation Technique. Every time he gets struck, he can turn the scattered heavenly tribulation into a dish of merit: sweet-and-sour tribulation over rice, chilled inner-demon sashimi, and stir-fried Ninefold Heavenly Lightning. One bite sends his cultivation soaring, leaving the whole sect glowing with health. From then on, the cultivation world's style takes a wild turn: elders of the Lingyun Sword Sect crouch beneath tribulation clouds to steal produce, female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect cheer in aprons reading “Official Partner,” and the gluttonous elder Xuan Zhenzi turns his Heaven-Swallowing Bowl into a black-hole vacuum cleaner, licking the very ground until it's polished smooth.
But when Chu Yan faces his tribulation for the ninth time, the “Nine-Turn Golden Pill” sent as a congratulatory gift from the immortal realm starts seeping demonic energy. The frozen corpses of the sect's founding masters in the cellar all spring up and dance the tap. Deep within the heavenly tribulation clouds, a gilded invitation appears, and the main course is unmistakably listed as “Heaven's Chosen Dao Body.”
As it turns out, so-called ascension is nothing more than a ritual for the Heavenly Dao to feed. The immortal realm's Jade Pool Banquet uses cultivators' merit to water its Peaches of Immortality, and Tianyan Sect itself is actually a giant pressure cooker built by an ancient God of Food!
To flip the table on this “human flesh feast” that's been going on for thirty thousand years, the whole sect unleashes its full dramatic flair: the antisocial junior sister controls an army of puppets in a demon-exorcising square dance, the financial manager stamps a debt-collection seal on the Demon Venerable's forehead, and the gluttonous elder swallows the laws of the immortal realm whole, only to get pickled into cured meat. Chu Yan swings his wok and ascends in reverse, livestreaming a charcoal roast of the Heavenly Dao from the immortal realm's kitchen and using three thousand tribulations to reveal a shocking secret:
As it turns out, the master's stolen treasure wasn't an immortal pill but the God of Food's spatula, his first love is an immortal-realm AI reviewer who leaves bad ratings, and that tribulation that always...
