Chapter 37: A Bowl of Noodles, a Bowl of Flat Meat

Buzz~!

Soon, the seven individuals each arrived at their respective positions.

And at the position of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, there was now a different person.

It was a relatively unfamiliar Seven Realms Buddha.

He held the precious Buddhist Gate artifact, the Pure World Bowl, and could barely be considered an Eight Realms combatant.

"Begin~!"

At the next moment, without hesitation, everyone summoned their own powerful Divine Abilities and infused them into the formation below.

Buzz~!

In an instant, a majestic surge of supreme immortal power flowed downward.

Under the influence of these powerful abilities, the formation below quickly underwent a transformation.

First, the speed of the flowing seawater suddenly increased, reaching the speed of normal seawater flow.

Then, beams of blue light flew out from the deep blue seawater.

The light was endless, gathering in mid-air and forming sparkling starlight.

The dazzling colors adorned the entire starry sky, turning it into a beautiful sky blue.

Everything seemed like a dream, like a fairyland.

Buzz~!

Then, the starlight gradually dissipated.

When it almost disappeared, it returned to the deep blue sea.

Vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the seawater also stopped flowing.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods" is the world sea of the Formless World.

Every evolution of the "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods" would also lead to the evolution of the Formless World.

And what Chen Chang'an and the others were doing now was helping the "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods" evolve.

The evolution of the world would raise the limits of cultivators' realms.

For every living being in the Formless World, this was what they hoped to see.

That's why so many sects came together to participate in the Hundred Sects Convention every time.

The only regret was that this evolution was extremely slow.

Since ancient times, every thousand years, a group of top cultivators would come to catalyze the evolution of the "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods".

However, after experiencing so many years, the "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods" had only truly evolved once.

That was during the ancient era when a quantitative change led to a qualitative change.

This qualitative change allowed the "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods" to complete its evolution from nothingness.

And with the evolution of the "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods," the Formless World also ushered in a magnificent era of cultivation.

In that era, all the myriad laws flourished.

Countless invincible figures with powerful Divine Abilities emerged.

Numerous Seven Realms and Eight Realms ancient powerhouses, as well as Nine Realms Saintly powerhouses, appeared like mushrooms after rain.

Among them, ten individuals reached the Ten Realms, becoming transcendent and powerful beings, such as Buddhist Saints, Confucian Saints, Daoist Heavenly Lords, Immortals, Demons, and Martial Ancestors.

The appearance of the Ten Saints elevated the path of cultivation in the Formless World to an endless height.

For a long period of time after that, the entire world was like an ocean of cultivators.

But unfortunately, later on, with the occurrence of a catastrophe known as the "Heavenly Change," everything came to an end.

In that battle, the Ten Saints, including most of the Eight Realms powerhouses and almost all of the Nine Realms Saintly powerhouses, disappeared and perished.

The foundation of the Formless World, the "Grotto-Heaven of the Gods," also suffered fundamental damage, and the essence of the world fell back to what it was before.

Only a few fortunate descendants and disciples of the Ten Saints managed to survive that battle.

Then, they took the Ten Saints' methods and, on the ruins after the great war, established their own sects at the ten places where the Ten Saints fell.

Those ten sects were the original Ten Venerables.

Later, in order to revive the ancient glory, led by the Ten Venerables' sects, they agreed to restart the "Grotto-Heaven" at the Heavenly Water Sea once every thousand years.

This is the origin of the "Hundred Sects Convention".

However, with the passage of time, the development of the Ten Venerables varied.

Over millions of years, although the Ten Venerables' sects remained the same as before, the disparities in their development became significant.

Apart from Taiyi Gate and Hall of Rebirth, which barely maintained the ancient glory, the other eight sects had gradually weakened with the changing times.

As a result, the current situation emerged where there are still Ten Venerables in the world, but the ones truly in control are the "One Gate, One Hall" pattern.

"Alright, the Grotto-Heaven operation ends here."

"The Heavenly Water Sea will close in three days, Fellow Daoists can do as they please."

After everything was over, Li Huo Dao Zun said to everyone except Chen Chang'an and the others.

Then, he invited Chen Chang'an and the others to a special private room.

The group discussed some matters here before leaving separately.

When Chen Chang'an came out of the private room, it was already nighttime.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Water Sea was a deep blue color.

Under the starry sky, the deep blue sea appeared even more dreamlike.

And on the Heavenly Water Sea, it was still crowded with people.

Tens of thousands of people formed a huge trading market.

There were those selling jade, Divine Abilities, Treasure Weapons, and elixirs, among many other things.

Without exception, these items were all "specialties" from various sects.

They all wanted to sell some during the special time of the Hundred Sects Convention to obtain resources such as Dao Source Stones for cultivation.

The Ten Venerables and Hall of Rebirth would also participate in these trades.

Therefore, each session of the Hundred Sects Convention would last for more than three full days.

Chen Chang'an didn't pay much attention to these things. Instead, he found [Black Impermanence] and others and set off on the journey back to Hall of Rebirth.

After bringing them back to Hall of Rebirth, Chen Chang'an returned to Heavenly Water Sect.

However, this time, Chen Chang'an didn't go directly to the sect. Instead, he appeared in Heavenly River City at the foot of the mountain where the sect was located.

Heavenly River City was located to the west, close to the direction of the commoners' area, and there was a shop called Liu's Snack Bar here.

Outside the shop, there were occasional customers coming and going, giving the impression that business was thriving.

Chen Chang'an also arrived outside the shop and skillfully walked in, finding a seat by the window.

"Boss, give me a bowl of flat meat and a bowl of mixed noodles."

"As usual, with scallions and spicy oil," Chen Chang'an said to the boss who was busy at the stove.

"Alright, sir, please have a seat. The noodles will be ready soon."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, the boss shouted and then began preparing the two things Chen Chang'an ordered.

However, as soon as he lowered his head to work, he froze.

Because he felt that the voice sounded familiar.

"Oh, it turns out to be Young Master. It's all this old man's fault for not paying attention. Please have a seat, Young Master."

Sure enough, the next moment, the old man raised his head and found that the person who had come was the familiar acquaintance from his memory, causing his face to light up with joy.

"Old Liu, there's no need for that. Just carry on as usual," Chen Chang'an smiled slightly.
