"This soup is excellent!"

Chen Hua looked somewhat surprised, as the effect of the Treasure Soup was minimal to him, but the flavor and the inherent essence within truly exceeded his expectations.

"Many thanks to the esteemed Banished Immortal for your praise."

Mo Yuanxing was in high spirits, feeling honored to receive recognition from the foremost figure in the world, and he could boast about it in front of his old friends.

At Chen Hua's level, mere taste of food might catch his attention but wouldn't particularly concern him.

What made him verbally commend was Mo Yuanxing's innovative spirit encapsulated in the soup, an unflagging exploration into the art of culinary.

Though Chen Hua wasn't a culinary expert, all paths led to the same end, and being near the pinnacle himself, he could still discern the breakthrough in Mo Yuanxing's new creation.

Chen Hua smiled and nodded in response, having spent days trying methods to combat the Abyss, after tasting this, his mind subconsciously pondered the significant role this could play on the battlefield.

"Has the master's wife left? And is Qinglian Elder also there?"

Liang Yi was taken aback; it was not surprising the master's wife went to find the master. Lovers reunited after many years, and even a Great Cultivator might struggle to contain such explosive affection once their misunderstandings were resolved.

But why had Qinglian Elder gone there? Didn't he mention having commitments?

"Yes, we and a few other old fellows are here discussing how to deal with the Abyss' encroachment."

Chen Hua looked at Liang Yi and Su Youyi, his calm face gradually turning serious.

"Both of you possess immense potential and surpassing me in the future won't be a problem. I believe by then, you both will also find a permanent solution to the Abyss, so I didn't really want you to come over."

The deeper one cultivates, the clearer the horrors of the Abyss become, and even the usually confident Chen Hua felt helpless against it.

Feng Yuyou and Mo Yuanxing were shocked, not expecting the Banished Immortal would hold such high regard for his own disciples.

"Master..."

Hearing this, Su Youyi was about to say something, but Chen Hua gestured with his hand to stop her.

"Don't worry, I know what you're about to say."

"In the history of the Taoist Sect, there have been numerous naturally gifted disciples, but to become strong, one cannot solely rely on arduous cultivation; this isn't our sect's style either."

"This war, though perilously dangerous, also presents an opportunity, a chance for rapid advancement."

Chen Hua stared intently at the two before him.

Even at the onset of this war, he had never anticipated such a role, which now turned out to be a colossal opportunity for Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

Liang Yi was puzzled, unsure how such a brutal war that concerned the survival of the world could be considered an opportunity.

Even if he and his junior sister could keep honing their skills on the battlefield, wouldn't this be of little help in advancing their realms?

"This is primarily why I came here to talk to you."

Chen Hua adjusted his seating, and slowly raised a finger towards Liang Yi and others.

"Look here..."

As everyone watched, a light gradually emerged at the tip of Chen Hua's finger, gleaming like glass yet dense like dawn light – constantly shifting and recombining.

The light was profound and dazzling, radiating an unmatched allure, resembling a brilliant diamond set amidst a spiraling vortex, intensely capturing everyone's gaze.

Liang Yi incredulously watched the light at his master's fingertip, feeling an intense familiarity inside.

Upon recognizing it, Grand Uncle Orange, stricken with shock, stood up, disbelievingly fixating on the light.

"How is this possible? How did you acquire the World Origin, meow?"

Grand Uncle Orange's pupils constricted, tail pointed high, in incredulity.

Chen Hua glanced at Grand Uncle Orange beside him, already briefed by Liang Yi and Grand Saint of Nine Spirits about this Demon Clan Young Master's situation, and he had not foreseen that he was a reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao Spirit.

"If you're asking why, neither I nor anyone else comprehends the reason behind this," Chen Hua shook his head and spoke slowly.

Given what he has witnessed so far, he could almost understand why the Heavenly Dao Spirit took such actions.

As to how long this Heavenly Dao Spirit has been with Liang Yi, he wasn't sure, but seeing no hostility towards Liang Yi from this Heavenly Dao Spirit identity, he didn't bother too much, trusting Liang Yi's judgments.

"World Origin?"

Liang Yi and Su Youyi exclaimed in a low voice.

World Origin, they had previously heard Senior Qinglian mention it; it is a power that only those in the legendary Tenth Realm can wield, the very Origin Power that constitutes the world, possessing almost omnipotent effects, and now it seems to appear in the hands of their master.

Feng Yuyou and Mo Yuanxing didn't know what this orb of light was, but their bodies instinctively told them it was something they desperately needed, even stirring a deep longing within them now.

A flicker of enlightenment crossed Mo Yuanxing's mind; with this thing, even the seemingly incurable hidden injuries by the Valley Master of Medicine Valley might be healed. Once healed, he could have more time to explore the path of culinary arts.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuyou had a different feeling; the intuition of a cultivator told her that with these things, the Seventh Realm, which currently seemed distant, would no longer be unachievable.

Uncle Ju looked conflicted; Chen Hua had grasped a trace of World Origin before even breaking through to the Ninth Realm, and given that he had always been engaged in the standoff war between the Abyss and the Mystical Mechanism Continent, it's needless to say where this strand of origin came from, right?

Even just a bit of the origin was enough to heal a lowly ant.

This strand of origin is either from the Abyss or from the World of Mystical Mechanism, that is, the current Heavenly Dao.

The Abyss wanted to erode the World of Mystical Mechanism, and what it actually erodes is the World Origin of Mystical Mechanism. As long as he could absorb all the origin of the Mystical Mechanism World, then the Heavenly Dao of the Mystical Mechanism World, even if it doesn't disappear on the spot, would suffer a severe blow.

Without World Origin, the control of the Mystical Mechanism World would also fall into the hands of the Abyss.

World Origin is driven by the Heavenly Dao, and all things in the world originate from it, and after perishing, they return to the World Origin.

Whether it's the Mystical Mechanism Continent or the side of the Abyss, it is the same.

"Was it Qinglian who told you?"

Chen Hua thought his disciples were unaware of this thing; it must have been that guy Qinglian who talked about it.

However, seeing that Feng Yuyou and Mo Yuanxing still looked puzzled, Chen Hua kindly simplified the explanation of the role of this World Origin.

After listening, Feng Yuyou and Mo Yuanxing were shocked, not expecting this orb of light to have such a significant background!

"This thing has a somewhat peculiar origin; it is born from fallen cultivators..."

Chen Hua put away the light, his expression extremely solemn, saying in a deep voice.

"Fallen cultivators?"

A strange sensation flashed across Liang Yi's face, a sense of déjà vu suddenly becoming intense.

Su Youyi furrowed her brows, not understanding what her master meant; how could World Origin appear from the death of cultivators?

"The specific time should be the day when the Abyss completely broke the seal and began to erode the Mystical Mechanism Continent,"

Chen Hua said, pinching his chin as if reminiscing.

"After the death of a cultivator, a very fine strand of World Origin merges into the body of the killer, which would be about a hundred times smaller than what I just showed you."

"We had not noticed this situation at all, but when unexpected breakthroughs among cultivators began, we then discovered the anomaly."

"Could it be that these breakthroughs are caused by the World Origin?" Liang Yi immediately asked.

Chen Hua nodded, continuing, "Correct, World Origin can help cultivators enhance their realms with almost no obstacles, although the required amount is extremely large, this does not conceal its terrifying aspects."

Hearing this, Su Youyi and Feng Yuyou were astounded; if this was true, then the power of World Origin was indeed too formidable.

"Then could there be high-level cultivators massively slaughtering low-level cultivators to obtain World Origin?"

Liang Yi suddenly thought of a conjecture; on the battlefield, cultivators of different levels have different fields of operation. If the top cultivators target the ordinary cultivator armies, it would be the ordinary cultivators who die first.

Thus, top cultivators almost never make a move on ordinary cultivators, unless the war is won.

"No, World Origin will only appear if killed by the same realm or a lower realm cultivator; high-level cultivators killing low-level ones gain nothing."

Chen Hua shook his head, also feeling immensely relieved in his heart; if just killing could lead to breakthroughs, then those cultivators who experienced rapid advancement would only continuously degenerate into the path of slaughter.

"This bit of World Origin came from killing an opposing Ninth Realm cultivator; originally, it was meant to merge directly into my body, but I stopped it."

A Ninth Realm Abyss Cultivator naturally wouldn't have so little World Origin in his body, but because top Abyss cultivators can be revived, their World Origin remains with the Abyss.

Once the Abyss Origin used for revival is exhausted, reviving them becomes an exceedingly huge price to pay for the Abyss, as it involves using its own World Origin.

Therefore, regarding the situation of killing for origin, Chen Hua was quite pleased to see it, immediately went happy to confront and slaughtered several Ninth Realm Abyss Envoys.

Uncle Ju was pacing back and forth on the tabletop with cat-like steps. He seemed to know how this dropping of World Origin occurred, but the real answer should be hidden in that segment of his lost memory, which he couldn't recall whatsoever now.

"Was it some sort of fallback I left behind?" Uncle Ju scratched his cheek, somewhat puzzled.

If the previous two epoch wars were meant to weaken the opponent's strength, to pave the way for the final battle for the World Origin, then this war has subtly decided the ownership of the World Origin.

But upon closer thought, Uncle Ju realized this was very beneficial for the Mystical Mechanism Continent, although he didn't know why this situation arose, there was no doubt it helped the Mystical Mechanism Continent.
