The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 979 Four Spiritual Beasts
Li Chaofeng is dead.

But he doesn't seem to be dead.
Looking at the boundless colorful space in front of him, Li Chaofeng, with a head full of white hair, had some vigilance and some melancholy in his eyes.

The sky is blue, the light is white, the earth is yellow, and the water is black.
"Qiang~~"

A loud phoenix cry sounded in his ears. Li Chaofeng looked up instantly and found a bird with colorful feathers soaring in the blue sky.

The colorful bird flew across the sky as fast as lightning, and in just a moment, it landed in front of Li Chaofeng.

At the same time, Li Chaofeng also saw the other person's appearance clearly.

Chicken head, snake neck, swallow chin, turtle back, and fish tail.

Divine bird, Phoenix.

Just when Li Chaofeng was about to open his mouth to ask questions, the yellow earth began to tremble.

A giant beast twice as tall as the phoenix came running from a distance. Soon, Li Chaofeng also saw the other party's sheep head, wolf hooves, and dome.

Mythical beast, Qilin.

Qilin ran to Li Chaofeng, looked down at him, and said nothing. He just shook his sheep head and then stomped hard on the yellow ground beneath his feet.

The originally empty yellow earth suddenly cracked under the Qilin's footsteps, revealing a bottomless black pool of water.

A colorful turtle shell several feet wide rose from the pool, and the earth began to close again.

Li Chaofeng opened his mouth slightly: "The head of beetles, the spirit turtle"

"~"

Following this sound, a low roar sounded in the sky again.

Li Chaofeng looked up again and saw a ten-foot-long wingless insect falling from the sky.

Four legs and five claws.

Horse head, snake tail.

He is covered with colorful scales and has carp whiskers and deer antlers on his head.

The king of scale insects, the dragon.

The dragon coiled in front of Li Chaofeng. The four spirits also stopped, looked at each other, and then bowed their heads.

"Five Insect Sword Spirits, Phoenix/Qilin/Spirit Turtle/Dragon, meet the Fifth Sword Spirit, the Saint."

The voices of the four spirits resounded throughout heaven and earth.

Sometimes loud, sometimes low, sometimes hoarse, sometimes majestic.

Hearing the title of 'Fifth Sword Spirit', Li Chaofeng narrowed his eyes and asked.

"You mean, I fought all my life only to turn myself into a sword spirit."

When Fenghuang heard this, she raised her head, looked at Li Chaofeng with a teasing look, and asked.

"You've lived a good life, with a successful career and love life, and you have a son and a daughter. Why do you still want to return to modern society?"

Li Chaofeng was instantly furious: "You brought me into this world, why don't you take me back?"

"And after all these years, you are inside the Five Insect Sword, why don't you communicate with me."

Hearing the accusation, the giant spirit turtle also spoke in a simple and honest voice.

"I wanted to communicate with you a long time ago, but unfortunately they didn't agree."

"With a three to one ratio, not only did I have to shut up, but I was also sealed underground by them. Fortunately, you succeeded, otherwise..."

Just as the turtle was complaining, Qilin shouted majestically.

"Shut up!!!"

Stopping the turtle from complaining, the extremely tall Qilin looked down at Li Chaofeng and explained in a low voice.

“The birth of a saint should not be guided by others, but can only be achieved spontaneously in the heart.”

"If we tell you the answer in advance, your soul will not be accepted by the Five Insects Divine Sword."

"It is even more impossible to fill the missing head of the naked insect for thousands of years."

Phoenix also chuckled when she heard what Qilin said.

"Qilin, you are deceiving yourself. He returned to the world where he was born. His purpose is too strong. How can he be called a saint?" "In my opinion, his soul will be expelled from the blade immediately."

"If one of the five insects is missing, and we four want to return to the prehistoric world, we will have to find a few more people with good character and take them to travel through more worlds."

Qilin glanced sideways with a stern look in his eyes.

"Phoenix, I know you hate the human race, but it is not easy for the human race to give birth to a saint. To be able to temporarily become a spirit of the Five Insects, you must have the potential to be a saint. Don't be so talkative."

Phoenix retorted: "With his character, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the cross-boundary catastrophe."

"You can cheat him, but if you lose your sense of justice, the Five Insects Divine Sword will become the Three Insects Divine Sword."

"By then, we will just have to slaughter pigs and dogs for others in some mortal world."

Just when Qilin was silenced by the Phoenix, the silent dragon slowly spoke.

"Phoenix, he has been testing the four of us from the beginning, but you are completely unaware of it."

"In my opinion, Qilin will not lose his benevolence and righteousness, but you can easily lose your morality."

At the dragon's reminder, the three spirits looked at Li Chaofeng again.
Li Chaofeng was indeed looking at them seriously.

As the four spirits looked at him, Li Chaofeng also sighed.

"Well, I really don't have any intention of returning to my original world, but I also don't intend to become a sword spirit."

"Why don't you just let me go, and then find a saint to replace me."

Phoenix smiled and said, "If a saint was so easy to find, we would have waited for you for decades."

"When I chose you, I felt that you had a good character, but your initial character was only enough to allow us to enter a world that was almost on par with modern society. If it was any higher, you would be completely wiped out."

"Fortunately, the decades of waiting were not in vain. You are now."

Having said that, Fenghuang began to look Li Chaofeng up and down, and finally made a helpless conclusion.

"It should be enough for us to enter the primitive world, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to ascend to the heaven."

The spirit turtle said happily: "The prehistoric world is enough. We are only one step away from escaping from the Five Insect Swords and returning to the heaven."

Phoenix sneered: "That's a nice thought. It's indeed easy to pass the one-step distance, but before this step, we still have the possibility of failure."

"When you enter reincarnation again, the Ten Kings of Hell will show no mercy."

There was panic in the turtle's eyes, and Qilin shook his head in retort.

"Alright, as long as you and I don't lose our merits, we will be immortal. If we gain more, we will just have to start all over again."

The phoenix spread its wings, looked at Qilin with disdain, and said.

"Bah, we are immortal, but he is not."

"We can protect him when we cross a world of the same level, but we need him to protect us when we enter the upper realm."

"In the cross-boundary gale, there are not only wind, fire, thunder and lightning to contend with, but also the torture of the seven emotions and six desires. Without the state of mind of a saint, his soul will inevitably be worn out by the gale of desire."

"If he suddenly loses his mind halfway through the crossing, we'll have to stay in the strong wind until the end of time."

"If that's the case, we might as well stay in this world, find a new host, and then rule the world."

Having said that, Fenghuang looked at Li Chaofeng with a cunning look and asked curiously.

"Do you think the second master after you would like us to indulge him?"

Li Chaofeng looked at the Phoenix asking him questions but did not answer. Instead, his eyes fell on the dragon's face which showed no emotion, and he asked.

"The five insects rule the world, the Qilin is benevolent and righteous, the Phoenix is ​​righteous and virtuous, the Spirit Tortoise brings peace and order, what is the virtue of the dragon?"

The dragon laughed and said, "The dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide, and is known for its versatility. Naturally, it symbolizes the person in power."

"Don't be stubborn in your thinking, be flexible and adaptable."

Li Chaofeng smiled: "So, what is happening outside, can I, the fifth sword spirit, interfere?"

The dragon nodded and smiled: "The saint is the leader of the five spirits, and the heart of the saint has always been the heart of the Five Insects Divine Sword."

"But you have to accept in your heart that you have become a dead thing that protects the world, or..."

"The fifth sword spirit, the saint."
