Chapter 314: Chapter 308: Jade Emperor’s Life Scripture

After dealing with the monster, Jiang Hou returned home and found the scene at home a bit ’grand’.

Red demonic energy filled the kitchen, and the stove fire defied logic, reaching over a meter high, causing the pressure cooker to spin mid-air, its nozzle spewing steam wildly.

In front of the pressure cooker, which looked like it was about to explode, stood a white-haired girl, her face full of excitement, making complex but useless hand signs with her hands.

Beside her, Qin Siyu held a comic book, occasionally looking up to point out details of the hand signs to Feitong.

"Uh... what are you doing?" Jiang Hou was a bit bewildered.

"Hehe, we’re researching glowing food," Qin Siyu turned her head, speaking enthusiastically.

"Recently, an Awakened blogger online successfully replicated a glowing food from anime. After eating it, they found the taste was indeed explosively delicious."

"Really, are you sure it’s not because of that person’s abilities?" Jiang Hou was a bit doubtful.

The content of gourmet anime is all based on existing recipes, with some added anime effects. If really made, the taste shouldn’t differ much in theory.

Bang!

Just as Jiang Hou finished speaking, the spinning pressure cooker in the air couldn’t withstand the high pressure and exploded. Countless fragments and scorched remains scattered, but were blocked by the red demonic energy.

Seeing this, the corner of Jiang Hou’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

If it were a normal person, they’d be gone directly.

"Strange, our steps were fine, why did it explode?" The white-haired girl scratched her head, turning back in confusion to look at Jiang Hou.

Jiang Hou was speechless: "Because the stuff in animations is fake."

"Alright, let’s study this another time. Siyu, I’ve been in seclusion for over ten days, and you’ve only awakened five abilities?" Saying this, Jiang Hou’s gaze fell on Qin Siyu’s forehead.

This time he had been asleep for twelve days, and with Qin Siyu’s ability to recover in a day and a half, she should normally have used it eight times.

But at this moment, the crown points on her forehead only had seven colors—white, red, black, purple, orange, cyan, and green—representing the inherent talents from scriptures.

"Speaking of which, I also find it strange."

Qin Siyu puzzledly said, "Ever since I mastered seven abilities, I haven’t awakened any new abilities in the subsequent three times of reading. It seems like I’ve reached my limit."

"Is that so."

Jiang Hou looked at the last crown point on Qin Siyu’s forehead, pondering, "You likely haven’t reached your limit yet; at least there’s still one crown point not lit."

"Let’s go check your room and see the books you’ve read so far."

Saying this, the three of them went to Qin Siyu’s room, where the girl had placed the over ten books she’d read using Word Spirit power together—six Taoist scriptures and four Buddhist scriptures. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The three books that hadn’t awakened abilities were ’Record of All True Treasures’, ’Ahan Sutra’, and ’Sutra of Perfect Awakening’.

Both Dao and Buddhism were involved; it shouldn’t be a matter of type but the scriptures’ factor. Perhaps they’re not powerful enough!

The last crown point on Qin Siyu’s forehead was in the middle, indicating many issues from its position, plus it might be the key to awakening Immortal Demon Power.

"Siyu, when is the next time you recover your ability?"

"Tomorrow."

"Then try again tomorrow. At that time..." Saying this, Jiang Hou flipped through the remaining scriptures on the table, finally pulling out the ’Jade Emperor’s Life Scripture’ from the bottom.

There are distinctions between major scriptures and miscellaneous books in both Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.

After saying this, Jiang Hou also asked Qin Siyu about her newly awakened abilities, each aligning with the core essence of the scriptures, but none was very strong.

Of course, this ’not strong’ is in comparison to Jiang Hou.

As an Awakened who mastered seven innate talents to manipulate the Power of Heaven and Earth in addition to Word Spirit power, Qin Siyu’s comprehensive strength unknowingly reached a high level.

The strongest ability, named Yin Yang Divine Wheel, even approached the power of Tier Six when manipulating the Yin Yang Power.

After discussing business, during breakfast, Qin Siyu suddenly remembered something and joyfully said, "Jiang Hou, Rourou has already woken up."

"Divine Palace Feirou, is she alright now?" Jiang Hou was a bit surprised.

Opposite him, Qin Siyu nodded, "Yes, Rourou said she’s in good condition now. Also, according to her, Senior Sister Shengong advanced to Tier Eight a few days ago."

Jiang Hou wasn’t surprised by this.

After becoming an Ancient Angel, Divine Palace Feiyue had evidently fully embraced the faith-based Divine Dao path.

With billions of people worldwide, the panic brought by monster awakening, her own conditions, and professional fan circle operations, the speed of gathering faith would exceed everyone’s imagination.

After the meal, Qin Siyu prepared to take Feitong to school.

As Jiang Hou watched the two girls in identical school uniforms leave, he shook his head, not saying anything.

Over ten days ago, Qin Siyu and Qin Buyi had received a warning from Li Mengwu, learning that there were enemies in the shadows, so they had been very cautious during this time.

Qin Siyu and the Tier Seven capable Feitong were almost inseparable.

On Qin Buyi’s side, he and Natalie stayed in the villa without going out, with no incidents occurring under the deterrence of the old ancestor in the depths of the manor.

Although the Ruins Puppet had been taken out, they couldn’t afford to be careless these past few days; their caution was a good thing.

"Minister."

"Minister, you’re out of seclusion!"

As Jiang Hou stepped into the base’s office building, everyone who saw him showed a joyful expression.

The presence of a ’Half-Step Tier Eight’ powerhouse made a big difference, at least providing more confidence when facing monster attacks these days.

"Hmm, you all keep busy." Jiang Hou nodded, taking the elevator to the top floor.

Outside his office door, Li Mengwu, who knew he was returning today, was already waiting with documents in her arms, and followed him into the office after he showed up.

On his first day back at work, Jiang Hou listened to Li Mengwu’s report.

After Li Mengwu finished, Jiang Hou asked, "Li Tongxue, have Shentu and the others made any progress recently?"

Li Mengwu shook her head, "No, without Zong Zheng Nan Mo’s help, it’s quite challenging to accurately search for Extraordinary Minerals and resource points."

"Zong Zheng Nan Mo has been staying beneath the base recently, saying there’s danger outside, and he’s not come out yet."

Well, this guy remains as cautious as ever, Jiang Hou nodded, and continued to inquire about other matters.

Though he had broken through to Tier Eight, Jiang Hou planned to keep a low profile, aiming to reach Tier Nine before the Ruins Expedition yielded results.

There were many strong individuals on the Ruins Expedition, and his presence was dispensable.

Besides the upcoming invasion from beyond the heavens in a few days, he also needed to gather enough resources to exchange for the True God Power of the Divine Era awakening points.

Having an additional True God Power not only gave him another trump card but also enhanced his foundational strength overall.

However, he still had outstanding official loans, hindering further overspending.

"Li Tongxue, keep an eye on other provinces’ channels, and notify me immediately if there are any monster invasions."

"Understood."

With Zong Zheng Nan Mo and the others temporarily unreliable, he could only gain a large number of points and merits by suppressing Evil God invasions.
