Chapter 412: Abyss Spirit Realm, Abyss Emperor Grand Ceremony
The new plane Tuantuan discovered is like being in the abyss or hell, with a blood moon hanging high in the sky, the ground riddled with ravines, most areas resembling an ocean of swamps and dark decaying lands.
Countless grotesque Abyss Giant Beasts slither and roam in the swamps and dark areas.
Interestingly, humans also inhabit this plane, among whom there are Spirit Masters and Spirit Chefs, and the Spiritual Beasts they contract are mostly these grotesque giants.
Of course, the ones dominating this plane are still the gigantic Abyss Giant Beasts.
The food competition Tuantuan discovered is located at the center of an endless purple swamp at the North Pole of this planet, within a peculiar city wrapped in countless huge deep-purple semitransparent tentacles.
The Abyss Imperial City, the largest city in the Abyss Spirit Realm.
At this moment, Abyss Giant Beasts and humans from all over the world gathered in the Abyss Imperial City, preparing for this competition.
The Spirit Chef competition seems to be very important to the beings of the Abyss Spirit Realm.
Many participating human Spirit Chefs and Giant Spirit Chefs were preparing dishes in the square of the bunker, as a form of "warm-up" for the upcoming competition.
Chen Mo watched for a while and was astonished to discover that the dishes these Spirit Chefs and Giant Spirit Chefs prepared seemed to be... dark cuisine!
And the darker the cuisine appeared, the more it seemed to receive praise from the diners?
So—this is a contest to compete in dark cuisine!?
"Ying!"
"Tuantuan, you seem very excited?"
Chen Mo caught a glimpse of Tuantuan's face full of excitement, with a look of anticipation, feeling somewhat speechless.
Oh no, Tuantuan has really turned to the "dark" side.
When Chen Mo looked at Tuantuan, Tuantuan's gaze instantly became serious, as if making dark cuisine was quite a challenge for him too.
"Ying... (No way!)"
"No time to waste! Let's set off quickly!"
The challenge duration of [Pastry God of Another World] is only one month. This competition in the Abyss Spirit Realm will start soon, so they need to hurry over.
After Tuantuan mobilized the Space Power, the group quickly arrived at the Abyss Imperial City in the Abyss Spirit Realm.
This is a swamp city exuding a wild and vigorous breath, and because it's located in a massive swamp sea, darkness and stickiness are its main themes.
Strips of purple streamers, like floating ribbons, overlapped like a sky canopy, wrapping the entire city in the center.
"Ying!"
In the "satellite view," Tuantuan didn't have a big feeling, but upon seeing these purple tentacles with his own eyes, he realized how enormous they were.
Each tentacle has a diameter of thousands of meters, and the length is immeasurable! The owner of the tentacles is a giant beast larger than a star ocean.
Undoubtedly, the owner of these tentacles must be an existence above totem level, and is likely a Mythical Creature.
"Mmm~"
Xiao Jiu used the Wish Technique to hide everyone's aura.
The world called the Abyss Spirit Realm is relatively dangerous, and with their current strength, they are not enough to traverse it freely, so caution is advised.
"Let's first ask how to register for the competition?"
This kind of large-scale Spirit Chef competition is not something you can casually join.
Chen Mo planned to first find someone in the Abyss Imperial City to inquire about the information.
After equipping himself with the [Background Character] entry, he successfully entered the Abyss Imperial City and then entered a human restaurant.
The owner of this restaurant was a purple-haired girl with deep purple skin and slender limbs.
The humans in this world don't look much different from the Blue Star People in appearance, except that they have purple skin, and most of them are quite tall, with an average height of over 2 meters.
"Hello, I'd like to ask how to register for the competition at the Abyss Grand Ceremony?"
Chen Mo asked directly through telepathy.
Upon seeing Chen Mo, the purple-haired waitress immediately felt that this human looked somewhat strange, just about to inquire when she saw a trace of enchanting light flash in the eyes of the Enchanting Demon beside this human.
Then she was entranced by the Enchanting Demon's charm spell, her mind turned dizzy, and she began to speak freely:
"Besides the Giant Spirit Chefs, only the four major Chef God sects hold the slots to participate in the Abyss Grand Ceremony. To join the Abyss Spirit Ceremony, you must first join them."
"Where are the four major Chef God sects?"
"Their main shops are all located on the Fifth Avenue of the Abyss Imperial City, the most famous being the Nether Sea Sect. Their restaurant looks like a Ghost Ship..."
The purple-haired girl explained the locations and details of the four Chef God sects one by one.
"Hm, thank you."
After obtaining the information he wanted, Chen Mo nodded and left the restaurant.
Before leaving, he had Xiao Jiu use the Wish Technique to increase the restaurant's customers in the short term, as a form of payment for directions.
"Let's go visit the Nether Sea Sect first..."
After Chen Mo left, the purple-haired girl quickly came to her senses, only briefly forgetting the encounter.
"Huh? Did someone just come by?"
...
Fifth Avenue in the Abyss Imperial City; this is the central area of the city and the most bustling place. In the dim cold light, countless strange giant beasts parade and shuttle between massive peculiar buildings.
Inside a special restaurant shaped like a Ghost Ship.
The restaurant was bustling with people, and besides humans, there were various giants of differing appearances enjoying the food.
In the kitchen, a somewhat chubby young chef was working on a bowl of thick soup.
The soup presented a murky blue color overall, with long worm-like creatures similar to maggots wriggling, making it a dish that sends shivers down the spine at a glance.
"Master, please taste it."
After finishing the most common Abyss Elixir Soup in the Abyss Spirit Realm, the young chef respectfully handed it to the inconspicuous, grey-haired old man behind him.
The old man's skin was a light purple, which was the most common skin color among the humans in the Abyss Spirit Realm due to the lack of sunlight and dietary influences.
The old man took the Abyss Elixir Soup, frowned, and then took a small sip.
Soon, veins bulged on his face, his pupils dilated, and he gritted his teeth, showing a face of extreme discomfort, as if tasting the Nine-Turned Intestine.
It took a full two minutes for the old man to recover his composure.
The usual food consumed by the humans of the Abyss Spirit Realm is relatively normal, and they strive to produce "dark cuisine" only to cater to the tastes of the Abyss Giant Beasts.
Most beings in the Abyss Spirit Realm have a heavy taste.
What humans see as dark cuisine is considered ultimate delicacies for them.
And as a chef, only by tasting your own dishes can you improve the flavor to create cuisine more suited to the palates of the giants.
"You should taste it yourself too!"
The old man said calmly.
