In the backyard, Li Nianfan showed off his incredible insect-catching skills.
“Wow, Brother Li is amazing!”
“Quick, that one is blurred! Go, Brother Li, go!”
Nanan and Dragin's eyes were filled with excitement, and they continued to cheer him up from the sidelines. Li Nianfan ran across the vegetable patch with an insect-catching net in his hand. He could catch at least one grasshopper with every wave of the net.
At this moment, over thirty locusts had been captured, but a dozen were still flying. Dragin and Nanan's cheers greatly satisfied Li Nianfan's ego and as such, he was trying to work harder.
“Remove insects and catch them quickly! The grasshopper would have no place to hide as soon as the net of earth heaven came out. There, I caught it!” Li Nianfan laughed and with a trained movement, he caught another insect.
Nanan and Dragin looked at Li Nianfan solemnly. In their eyes, Li Nianfan seemed to follow the will of Wisdom every time he raised his hand. Even space and time had to bow their heads to him. No matter how incredible the grasshopper was, they could do nothing about the cage and could only stare helplessly from the net. They did not doubt that Li Nianfan was chanting some sort of ultimate spell.
In the blink of an eye, four more locusts were captured.
“No, this is not just a net. There's something weird about that guy too!”
“This is terrible. What kind of place is this? I want to go home!”
“When did the seventh dimension become so frightening? Who exactly is this guy? I want my mom! Forgive me—”
Ye Xuan and Lei Bao were desperate and scared to death when they saw that most of their clones had been captured. They would die once all their clones were caught!
“Shen Suanzi, it's all your fault! You said that we would be fine as long as one of our clones escaped. The problem now was that none of them could escape! ”
Li Nianfan ran towards the remaining insects with an insect-capturing net in his hand. His momentum could even suppress the sky. Insects never have a chance.
“You are so cool, Brother Li!”
“Catch them! Don't let them go!”
Nanan and Dragin continued to encourage him.
“Hahaha, watch me carefully now! I will show you some cool tricks” Li Nianfan said proudly as he rushed towards the remaining grasshoppers. Soon, all the grasshoppers were trapped in his net. “That's the last of them!”
Li Nianfan smiled and started counting the locusts in the net. There are almost fifty of them! Nanan and Dragin peeked into the net and instantly felt disgusted at seeing them.
Nanan frowned and said, This pest is so ugly.
These pests are called grasshoppers, Li Nianfan said.
“Groof? Should we feed peacocks or chickens? I'm sure they'll love it,” Dragin suggested.
Upon hearing that, the peacock flew up and looked at them with eyes full of anticipation. It looked at this swarm of locusts with eyes of longing in its eyes. It could be felt that this swarm of locusts contained a powerful force that would greatly benefit him.
Li Nianfan shook his head and said, “Break can have some and we can have the rest.”
“Hah? We'll eat the bugs too?”
“Is it even edible? It looks so disgusting!” nanan and Dragin asked with wide eyes in shock.
Li Nianfan laughed and said, “Do you know that grasshoppers are a rare food, especially if fried? Their taste goes far beyond the usual delicacies. ”
“Bulkah?” nanan and Dragin asked doubtfully. The two of them found it hard to accept what Li Nianfan said.
“Balang has a high protein content and low fat. They are not only nutritious but good for those who want to lose weight. They are much healthier than regular meat,” said Li Nianfan with a grasshopper in his hand. “Let's go back. Little Daji and the other girls should have finished bathing by now. I'll cook a party for all of you!”
Fried grasshoppers are very easy to make. The first step is to heat the oil. The second step, one must remove his head, wings, and organs. The third step is to fry it in oil and the fourth step, one can finish it with a sprinkling of cumin or chili powder. The dish will then be finished. The outside texture should be crisp and the inside should be soft and smooth. It was really delicious and it was the perfect snack to drink.
“Xiao Bai, prepare for locusts,” orders Li Nianfan.
“Yes, my dear Lord,” Xiao Bai said and proceeded to bring the grasshopper to the cutting board.
The grasshopper struggled and panicked.
“No, I will die, I will die, I will die!”
“I just saw a kitchen knife. It's over, we'll be chopped into millions of pieces!”
“The Origin-eating Insects of the Heaven Mystery Sect are nonsense! We are just food for them. We better present ourselves on a golden plate!”
Immediately, the sound of frying echoed in the courtyard, and at the same time, an attractive smell of flesh spread into the air.
“Wow, I didn't expect this ugly thing to be so delicious.”
“Well, it's hard outside and soft inside. Teacher says there's a lot of protein in it.”
“This is very good. Again dong!”
“Hey, save some for chicken and peacock. Feeding them this will make their eggs healthier.”
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Mystery Pavilion in the fourth dimension, the vitality of Lei Bao, Ye Xuan, and Shen Suanzi was rapidly diminishing. Even their Primordial Spirit was reduced. This was because they would lose a portion of themselves every time one Origins Devouring insect died.
At a certain moment, Ye Xuan began to tremble violently, as if all the energy in his body had been sucked dry. He fell to the ground and with a soft poof, he turned into a yellow mound of dust. Ash becomes ash, dust becomes dust.
Soon after, the same thing happened to Lei Bao, and the other Wisdom Elites were annihilated just like that.
“Luckily I sent them to do the recon first. Things are really strange in the seventh dimension, ” said the old pavilion master. In the depths of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion, a whirlpool appeared in the eyes of the old pavilion master like a black hole. He raised his hand and slashed at the void. This slash seemed to have broken some sort of cause and effect.
Shen Suanzi's body jolted and blood spurted out from her mouth. All the colors had been drained from his face and he was trembling as if he had lost all his strength. “Thank you for saving me, sir,” he gasps in fear.
The voice of the old pavilion master echoed in the air, “What happened? What do you see? Tell me everything.”
“Master, there is a big secret hidden in the seventh dimension. There was an incredible four-piece building there.” Shen Suanzi told the old pavilion master everything he saw and heard. His voice became trembling every time he mentioned Li Nianfan. “There really was no Spiritual Qi fluctuation in the man but no doubt he was extremely strong. He might be of a higher level than the Elite Wisdom!”
The old pavilion master had a gleeful glint in his eyes and in an amused tone, he said, “Hahaha, I have to hand it over to the seventh dimension! A four-part building with infinite possibilities and the will of Wisdom? Only Origins of Dimension could do that!
“You're right. That person was clearly above the Wisdom Elite and was probably in the highest state of existence in all seven dimensions.
“It seems like there is no shortage of talented fighters in the seventh dimension. He must have entered the highest state of existence after sensing the impending calamity that would soon befall the seventh dimension.”
Shen Suanzi was slightly surprised. “Seventh dimensional wisdom? No wonder the four-piece building is so powerful. ”
“There are many restrictions after a person enters the highest state of existence. There is only one end if a person who is brought to that state is disturbed, and that end is death. This is a very risky move, ” said the old pavilion master with a cold smile on his face. He paused for a moment before continuing, “This is akin to exposing the location of a seventh dimensional Origins to me! How can I forgive myself if I don't devour it now? Ha ha!
His tone was full of excitement. He had not expected to catch such a big fish with a stamp as bait. Yes, there was no denying that one would become extremely powerful after entering the highest state of existence, but as such, it would be extremely dangerous if one were exposed.
The old pavilion master had no need to fear Eldtrich anymore after he devoured seventh dimensional Origins. ‘At that time, other dimensional Origins’ will be as good as mine! I will be the ultimate winner!’
“Intel obtained during this reconnaissance proved to be very useful. Ye Xuan and Lei Bao should calm down knowing their deaths are worthwhile, ” said the old pavilion master. Then, he ordered, “Shen Suanzi, go to the Ye Clan and Lightning Sect and make new plans with them.”
After a while, Shen Suanzi left the Heaven Mystery Pavilion. At this moment, the Ye Clan and the Lightning Sect were thrown into chaos, as they were unable to sense the auras of Ye Xuan and Lei Bao anymore. All Wisdom Elites had the uncanny ability to envelop their homes or sects with an aura of Wisdom. There were only two possibilities to explain the disappearance of aura—one, the Wisdom Elite removed the aura itself, and two, the Wisdom Elite were dead.
“How can this happen? Go to the ancestral temple. ” The members of the Ye Clan panicked and they quickly went to the temple where their ancestors had secluded themselves, with Master Ye taking the lead. It was usually forbidden for them to leave without the ancestral permission but these were terrible times.
Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they opened the door. The jade bed where ancestor Ye was meditating on had split in two. The jade bed had been baptized by the Wisdom Elite and was connected to the Qi of ancestor Ye, so how could it be split in two?
A terrifying chill ran through all of their spines, causing them to shiver uncontrollably.
“Le—neighbor!”
“How can this happen? This can't be happening! It must be all wrong!”
“No, ancestors are Wisdom Elites. There was no way he could die so easily!”
“What happened? What does the extermination of the Murong Clan have to do with our ancestors?”
They cannot accept that everything has been lost.
Master Ye immediately made a decision. “Go, go to Murong house to investigate, we have to find out what happened!” he said seriously. However, Shen Suanzi arrived at Ye's house just as all the members of the Ye Clan were about to leave.
“Master, a great calamity has befallen the fourth dimension. I want to convey my deepest condolences for the death of your ancestor, Ye Xuan, ” Shen Suanzi said. His words shattered the last glimmer of hope from the members of the Ye Clan.
“Did our ancestors really die? How did this happen? What happened?” asked Master Ye in a hoarse voice with red eyes.
“The seventh dimension is to blame for his death! Your ancestors weren't the only ones who had fallen. Even Lei Bao of the Lightning Sect, the entire Murong Clan, and the Demon Emperor died at the hands of people of the seventh dimension!” shen Suanzi said seriously.
“What?!”
“Damn people from the seventh dimension!”
“What will happen to the East Wasteland now that all the Wisdom Elites are gone?”
Everyone was scared and angry at the same time.
“Suanzi Senior, how did people from the seventh dimension come here?” ask Master Ye.
“There is a portal connecting the fourth and seventh dimensions located in East Wasteland. We must be very careful of the seventh dimension because they have a terrible and strange secret,” Shen Suanzi replied.
The hearts of the members of the Ye Clan fell. They knew Shen Suanzi's words were true because how could so many Wisdom Elites be killed in such a short amount of time?
Master Ye pondered for a moment and asked, “What will the Heaven Mystery Pavilion do?”
“As far as I know, people from the seventh dimension are guarding the portal entrance. We need to join forces to arrest them and interrogate them.” Shen Suanzi's eyes seemed to be staring into the distance. “Do not worry, the group is not that strong”
Master Ye nodded and said, “We will join you! We need to avenge the death of our ancestors!”
Furthermore, Shen Suanzi went to the Lightning Sect and in the same way, invited the sect members to join her. The atmosphere of the entire East Wasteland suddenly became depressed and solemn.
That day, at Tiandang Mountain, Yang Jing and the Heavenly Soldiers guarded the portal as usual. Everyone was very aware to make sure no one entered the portal without their permission, so they made sure to stay motivated so that no one dared to slack off.
The third eye on Yang Jing's forehead flickered from time to time, sending out a signal of uneasiness as a warning. However, he did not detect anything unusual after scanning his surroundings.
Gu Yuan walked up to him and worriedly asked, “General Yang, what is it?”
Gu Yuan was the grandfather of Gu Changqing whom Li Nianfan knew in the mortal world when he was still in the Eldritch era. He was the first to give the expert Firefinches herd that was on the expert page. He kept bragging about it to anyone within earshot. He still remembered when he told Firefinches that he was going to give them good luck. They initially ignored him, but now they could not be more grateful to him.
It was also because of his relationship with Li Nianfan that whenever the Heavenly Palace found an opportunity, he would always receive a portion of it. Therefore, he had become a Saint as well as Yang Jing's representative.
Yang Jing frowned and said, “Last-lately, I continue to feel like something big is about to happen. Instruct others to be more alert. ”
As soon as he said that, a wave of powerful aura flowed out like a tidal wave. Then, a group of figures shot out from the distance and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye. Yang Jing and his men were completely besieged.
“There really is a portal to the seventh dimension here! Are you all from the seventh dimension?” asked Master Ye as he shot a dagger towards Yang Jing and his men with his eyes. His voice was filled with killing intent.
Yang Jing and Gu Yuan gasped and glanced at each other. “We have been found by the fourth dimension!”
The leader of the Lightning Sect was a blue-faced muscular man. He waved his hand and shouted, “You will pay to kill my master! I will tear down the seventh dimension to the ground! Lock this place and don't let anyone!”
