Chapter 182 Cucumber Shatters the Void! Boss: If you keep making noise, I'll dock your pay!
"Snap!"
A sharp crack echoed in the deathly silent courtyard, as clear as a thunderclap.
Zhang Sanfeng took the first bite of cucumber.
Sweet, crisp, and juicy.
There was no earth-shattering energy storm as imagined, nor any enlightening baptism of laws.
The cool liquid slid down his throat and into his stomach, like a sip of ice-cold plum juice on a hot summer day, so comfortable that he almost groaned out loud.
However, after this extreme ordinariness, a sudden change occurred!
"boom--!"
It was as if the primordial singularity of the universe had exploded within his body!
A primordial power, a mixture of the birth and death of stars and the creation of chaos, surged wildly within his body like a bursting dam!
His meridians, which he had cultivated for hundreds of years and made indestructible, were as fragile as paper in the face of this power. They were instantly washed away, torn apart, and then reshaped and expanded in a more ancient and resilient form!
The Tai Chi true energy within his body seemed to have encountered its ancestor; it couldn't even muster the thought of struggling before being completely assimilated, purified, and sublimated into a higher-level energy that he couldn't comprehend!
A yin-yang symbol composed of black and white rose from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head!
The cyclone initially appeared to be no bigger than the mouth of a bowl, but it grew rapidly in the wind, spinning violently, tearing through the clouds, and stirring up the winds and clouds in the heavens!
At this moment, the sky above the entire capital city was filled with inky black clouds and raging lightning!
Countless powerful individuals who were meditating, cultivating, or in seclusion, whether martial artists or those with supernatural abilities, all felt a sense of dread and submission emanating from the depths of their souls!
They looked up at the sky in horror, their hearts pounding.
Who is this person who dares to undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality within the capital city?!
Inside the courtyard house, the feeling was even more terrifying!
Apart from the bored Lin Fan, everyone in the courtyard was held in place by this aura, and even breathing became a luxury!
The Gold Saints' expressions changed drastically. They subconsciously ignited their cosmos, and golden flames barely formed a thin film around their bodies, which was enough to withstand the pressure and prevent them from kneeling on the spot.
Even so, their faces were filled with horror!
"What kind of power is this...? It's older and more...vast than Athena's divine power!" Sagittarius Aiolos's voice trembled.
He could sense that the energy level emanating from this new old Taoist priest far exceeded their understanding of "gods"!
Ares, the God of War, was shocked. His proud God of War status was like a mouse seeing a cat, instinctively shrinking and fearing in the face of the aura unconsciously emitted by Zhang Sanfeng!
"This old monster... he's more terrifying than all those immortal old men on Mount Olympus combined!"
Fang Qingxue and the other three women, along with Old Wang, were already being crushed and were swaying precariously, clinging tightly to the table legs to avoid being blown away by the storm.
Only one mind-blowing idea remained in their heads.
Eating a cucumber... and you become an immortal?!
Just what kind of mythical forbidden land is the gentleman's vegetable garden?!
Zhang Sanfeng, at the center of the storm, was completely unaware of everything happening around him.
His mind had already sunk into a profound and mysterious state of enlightenment.
He "saw" the birth of the first ray of light in the chaos.
He "saw" the flow and branching of the river of time.
He had cultivated for hundreds of years, but he was always separated from the "Broken Void" realm by a thin layer of paper, that indestructible bottleneck.
At that moment, it shattered!
He forcibly reversed his lifespan, leaving a barely perceptible flaw in his Dao heart.
Under the cleansing force of that pure chaotic energy, it was completely smoothed out, reaching perfection and flawlessness!
Transparent!
Perfect!
A supreme feeling of being one with heaven and earth, and of being in harmony with the Great Dao, filled his every thought.
He understood.
He broke down too!
"Haha...hahahahahaha..."
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly opened his eyes and roared to the sky!
Its roar was like a dragon, piercing through clouds and splitting rocks, soaring straight up to the ninth heaven!
His snow-white hair, at a speed defying the laws of life, began to turn green from the roots, spreading rapidly until it finally transformed into a waterfall of jet-black hair!
The deep wrinkles on his face were quickly smoothed out by an invisible force.
In the blink of an eye, the centenarian Taoist priest, who had been living a life of serenity, was rejuvenated and transformed into a handsome middle-aged man with a face as fair as jade, eyes as bright as stars, and a dashing appearance!
He slowly got up.
A master's aura, as if he were one with the entire world, emanated naturally from him.
He turned around and looked at Lin Fan, who had been frowning and looking at him with disdain the whole time.
Then, he bowed deeply.
This bow surpassed any previous gesture of respect.
It is a deep-seated piety and gratitude from the depths of one's soul.
"This humble Taoist priest thanks you, sir, for your life-saving grace!"
His voice was no longer aged, but full of magnetism and power, brimming with energy.
He knew that what he owed was no longer just a cucumber.
It is a path to immortality that could drive any cultivator mad!
Lin Fan looked at the new employee in front of him who had suddenly changed from "Uncle Zhang" to "Handsome Uncle Zhang".
He glanced again at the courtyard, which was in a mess, being blown about by the strong wind.
Then look up at the lingering dark clouds and lightning in the sky.
He finally picked at his ear in frustration.
"Hey Lao Zhang, can you just shut up for a minute?"
"It's just a cucumber, is it really that big of a deal? It's like a special effects blockbuster movie, making such a big fuss."
"Look at the mess you've made of my yard! And it's already dark, with thunder and wind all of a sudden, aren't you going to let the neighbors get some sleep?"
Lin Fan put his hands on his hips and began to lecture.
"And your hair! What happened? It was white yesterday, and today it's dyed black? Let me tell you, this is a proper vegetable garden, no fancy stuff here! Dye it back to normal by tomorrow, or I'll dock your pay!"
This was a series of reprimands filled with the authority of a "landlord".
This left Zhang Sanfeng, who had just broken through to a new level and was in high spirits, speechless.
He opened his mouth, looking at Lin Fan's expression that said, "You're really giving me a hard time."
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
Dye... dye it back?
Sir, this isn't hair dyeing!
This is rejuvenation, the return of the Great Dao, and a leap in the level of life!
This is an unparalleled blessing that countless emperors, generals, and Taoist masters could not obtain even after exhausting the fortune of an entire era!
How come it's become "flashy" in your opinion?
They're going to deduct my salary too?
Zhang Sanfeng felt that his Dao heart, which had just been perfected and was now flawless, was returning to normal.
It seems like another crack has appeared...
The others in the courtyard, witnessing this surreal yet realistic scene, finally recovered from their shock.
They looked at the "middle-aged" living deity who stood there with a wronged expression, like a student who had done something wrong.
Then look at Lin Fan, who is standing with his hands on his hips, righteously reprimanding the "living god".
A thought spontaneously arose in everyone's mind.
This world is fucking insane.
However, witnessing this madness firsthand... seems quite exciting.
……
at the same time.
Inside a secret base hundreds of meters underground in the Western Hills of Beijing.
A sharp, piercing alarm shattered the tranquility of the command center!
"Alert! Alert! An extremely high-level energy reaction has been detected in the urban area of Beijing!"
"Energy level assessment...failed! Threshold limits for all detectors have been exceeded!"
"Warning! Fluctuations in the laws of energy source are rewriting the physical constants within a one-kilometer radius!"
A young researcher, with a trembling voice that sounded like he'd seen a ghost, reported to Li Zhenguo, who had just picked up his thermos.
"Clang!"
The thermos flask fell to the ground and shattered.
Li Zhenguo felt his heart instantly being gripped by an invisible hand and leap into his throat!
Here we go again?!
What new tricks is that guy up to today?!
He swallowed hard, his voice hoarse like a broken gong.
"Coordinates...where are the coordinates?!"
The researcher stared at the huge, blood-red, flashing light on the screen that had almost filled the entire screen.
He answered in an almost tearful voice:
"Reporting to the commander..."
"It's still... that courtyard house!"
