Chapter 219: Cultivators with Anorexia? Stuffing Food into a Stomach is Ridiculous!
The Gluttonyless Holy Mother gazed at the spot where Qi Yuan was standing.
What she saw was nothing but emptiness.
It was as if no one was there at all, as if everything was just an illusion, not a real existence.
"You said you've seen me in the future?" The Gluttonyless Holy Mother spoke without emotion, her voice a soft murmur, "Just once?"
"Yes." Qi Yuan didn't elaborate further.
This was his first encounter with the Gluttonyless Holy Mother, and he had witnessed her death.
He couldn't very well say, "I just met you, and then you died."
That would be too emotionally insensitive.
The Gluttonyless Holy Mother stared at Qi Yuan, and suddenly, she burst into a radiant smile, "So that's how it is."
It seemed as if a doubt in her heart had been resolved, or perhaps everything had been confirmed.
"They say you're not one to smile easily?" Qi Yuan casually remarked.
After his previous encounter with the Gluttonyless Holy Mother, Qi Yuan had met many of her followers.
Through them, he had learned more about her.
According to their descriptions, the Gluttonyless Holy Mother was not only the foremost person in the Mundane Heart World, possessing formidable combat power, but she was also known for her serious demeanor and her unwavering commitment to her word.
"How could anyone be naturally inclined to not smile?" The Gluttonyless Holy Mother retorted, "Should I smile at every person I see?"
The upper half of her body was adorned with a pink round-collared short jacket, while the lower half was a long skirt with even more vibrant red floral embroidery. Her black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her charming face was filled with laughter, brightening even the dark night.
"So, the records were all lies," Qi Yuan thought to himself.
In the records, the Gluttonyless Holy Mother was described as someone who rarely spoke and was untainted by the affairs of the mortal world.
Most likely, these were later embellishments by her followers.
Looking at the Gluttonyless Holy Mother before him, Qi Yuan couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss, as if she was hiding some secret.
"Everyone has a curious mind. Don't you fear that I might be deceiving you just now? After all, I've seen you in the future, but anyone with a sound mind wouldn't believe such a thing." Qi Yuan continued.
Moreover, the Gluttonyless Holy Mother he met in the future didn't show any signs of recognizing him.
This piqued Qi Yuan's curiosity.
Could it be that the Gluttonyless Holy Mother he met later was not the same as the one he was speaking to now? Or perhaps she had suffered a head injury and lost her memory?
"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter," the Gluttonyless Holy Mother said, her voice as clear as a mountain spring.
"..." Qi Yuan paused, "Your realm of understanding is a bit high. I'm just an ordinary person with a curious mind."
He didn't dwell on the topic further. His encounter with the Gluttonyless Holy Mother was merely a fleeting one.
She was destined to fade into the mists of history, and he couldn't change that, nor did he have the power to do so.
However, a thought occurred to him, and he asked, "Has the Demon God appeared in the Mundane Heart World?"
The Gluttonyless Holy Mother's gaze suddenly turned icy, and even though they were not in the same time and space, Qi Yuan felt a bone-chilling cold, like the unsheathed blade of an ice sword.
"Yes."
"They are the greatest enemies of the Mundane Heart World, and among them are one or two Yang Deities." Qi Yuan shared the news from the future.
He thought that if the Mundane Heart World received this information, perhaps they could alter their fate, even if only slightly.
However, even with this knowledge, the outcome might not change much.
After all, sheer power is not something that can be countered just by being prepared.
"Yes." The Gluttonyless Holy Mother's expression didn't change much, as if she had just heard the buzzing of a couple of tiny insects.
This puzzled Qi Yuan, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you think I'm lying about what I said earlier?"
If the Gluttonyless Holy Mother believed this, then her previous reaction would make sense.
Perhaps she thought Qi Yuan was just making things up.
"How much of what you've told me is true, and how much is false?" The Gluttonyless Holy Mother looked in the direction of Qi Yuan, as if trying to stare into his eyes.
"It seems you don't believe me," Qi Yuan said with a shrug, not bothering to explain further.
He didn't feel the need to convince her of his words.
After all, their encounter was just a fleeting one.
Qi Yuan didn't dwell on these thoughts and instead got straight to the point.
"You said the Sky Pillar is about to break. How is that possible?" Qi Yuan asked.
"The Visualization Mountain is a projection of the Sky Pillar, and the two are intimately connected. Since the Sky Pillar is currently unstable, if you force a visualization, it might collapse under the strain." The Gluttonyless Holy Mother explained.
Qi Yuan furrowed his brows upon hearing this, "Is that even possible?"
He had never heard of such a thing before.
He looked up at the towering Sky Pillar and murmured, "This Sky Pillar is so fragile that it can't even handle the visualization of a thunder god?"
Qi Yuan had a sudden thought.
If this were true, wouldn't it change history?
The Sky Pillar was not broken by a Yang Deity.
"If the Sky Pillar is broken, the Mundane Heart World will fall into an irreversible calamity," Gluttonyless Holy Mother seemed to hear Qi Yuan's thoughts and gently spoke of the dangers of a broken Sky Pillar.
"How can the Sky Pillar be repaired?" Qi Yuan looked at Gluttonyless Holy Mother.
He still needed to visualize others.
The Sky Pillar couldn't actually be broken.
"It's simple," Gluttonyless Holy Mother said, "Eat."
"Huh?" Qi Yuan was a little dazed.
"When I broke through to the Great Venerable realm, my body transformed into the Sky Pillar, and I became one with it.
The Sky Pillar is me, and I am the Sky Pillar," Gluttonyless Holy Mother spoke, her voice calm.
This surprised Qi Yuan, and he felt a bit guilty, "Doesn't that mean that I just visualized breaking one of your bones?"
He visualized Thunder Ancestor, and the visualized mountain appeared with cracks. If this feedback was on Gluttonyless Holy Mother's body, then she would be injured.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother's almond eyes gave Qi Yuan a cold look, "Wanting to repair the Sky Pillar isn't difficult, it just requires...me to eat something, and the Sky Pillar will continue to become more stable."
"That simple?" Qi Yuan was surprised, and he felt it was unbelievable, but he blurted out, "I'll treat you to a meal!"
In the past, he couldn't really treat Gluttonyless Holy Mother to a meal, but he could return to Qing Shui Village, and during future feasts, he could bring her spirit tablet and invite her to eat.
Of course, he wouldn't dare say these words.
If he did, his emotional intelligence would be too low, and he'd likely get beaten up.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother looked at Qi Yuan as if recalling something, "I haven't eaten in a long time."
Qi Yuan nodded; indeed, Gluttonyless Holy Mother didn't eat.
Her path emphasized that from the moment of birth, one should be perfectly flawless, and breathing air, drinking water, and eating food would defile oneself, and everything was poisonous.
"Then eat quickly!" Qi Yuan urged.
Only if Gluttonyless Holy Mother ate, would the Sky Pillar be repaired.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother was unmoved.
Qi Yuan grew anxious, "Do you have anorexia?"
"Sort of."
"But you're cultivating, how can you have anorexia? If all else fails, cut open your belly and stuff food in!" Qi Yuan offered a solution to Gluttonyless Holy Mother.
The woman in the red skirt looked at Qi Yuan, her hand gripping the edge of her pink short jacket, lifting it to reveal her snow-white, smooth skin. Her waist was slender, and her curves were graceful.
She looked at Qi Yuan with a cold gaze, "Will you do the cutting?"
"Just joking," Qi Yuan laughed.
He wasn't that perverted yet.
"Do you want to eat something?" Qi Yuan continued asking, and he added, "In the distant Liujia Village, someone died today. Do you want to join the feast?"
He was making it up.
But surely, someone had died a thousand miles away.
After all, in this world, people passed away every moment.
Hearing about the feast, the frost on Gluttonyless Holy Mother's face melted, "You cook for me."
"You're making it hard for me!" Qi Yuan exclaimed, "I only know how to cook two dishes: one is ice cubes stir-fried with cold water, and the other is water-steamed ice cubes."
Cook my ass!
At this moment, he couldn't touch anything in the past, so of course, he couldn't cook.
"But I can guide you in cooking." As the commander of the spring, Qi Yuan was most adept at this.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother finally agreed to eat, and he naturally had to accommodate her.
"Do you want steamed fish or water-steamed fish?" Qi Yuan asked.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother paused, a bit dazed, "I like spicy food."
"Steamed fish!" Qi Yuan was excited.
Finally, he convinced Gluttonyless Holy Mother to eat.
But thinking of something, he secretly asked, "How much do you need to eat to repair the Sky Pillar?"
"Probably... before you leave," Gluttonyless Holy Mother didn't directly answer the question.
Even a complete braised fish dish would do.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother paid no heed to Qi Yuan's words and gracefully took a step forward. "I'll go buy some from the mountain."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan had no choice but to follow.
"Buy more, I'm afraid your strength might break the wok and spatula." Qi Yuan closely followed Gluttonyless Holy Mother, leaving the place.
Looking ahead, the lake in front was clear, with lush green aquatic plants, and fish swimming, creating ripples.
Qi Yuan and Gluttonyless Holy Mother stood upon the lake.
"There are plenty of fish in this lake, enough for a hundred fish banquet."
...
Beyond the Sky Pillar.
Spirit Bell Grandmaster, who had left not long ago, returned once more.
There was no head on his shoulders, making him appear especially eerie in the dim night.
In front, a majestic mountain soared into the clouds.
Spirit Bell Grandmaster's voice was heavy, "The Sky Pillar is unstable, has Gluttonyless Holy Mother... been injured?"
Venerable Manas stood alongside Spirit Bell Grandmaster, his face filled with worry, "Now that the evil deity has invaded, the Sky Pillar is of utmost importance and must not be lost."
Beside them, several True Deities followed, their faces filled with curiosity as they looked at the Sky Pillar.
These young True Deities were quite curious about Gluttonyless Holy Mother, a legendary figure.
Now that they had the chance to meet her in person, they naturally felt tense.
"It's said that Gluttonyless Holy Mother is as cold as ice and never smiles. Is this true?" An Ancient God asked in confusion.
"Named Gluttonyless, Gluttonyless Holy Mother's path is beyond comprehension."
"It's not beyond comprehension, it's simply unbelievable.
I heard that when Gluttonyless Holy Mother was young, a legendary figure saw her talent and bestowed upon her the Divine Realm Elixir."
An Ancient God mentioned this, and disbelief filled his eyes.
That was the Divine Realm Elixir, which, when consumed, could awaken the Divine Realm Embryo.
Such an ultimate treasure, and Gluttonyless Holy Mother had refused it.
She truly didn't eat.
Venerable Manas' face showed a hint of reminiscence, "The legendary figure you speak of is me."
Even now, he couldn't understand why Gluttonyless Holy Mother didn't eat.
The Divine Realm Elixir was a pure and pristine treasure, an innate treasure, and consuming it wouldn't affect Gluttonyless Holy Mother's path.
Yet, Gluttonyless Holy Mother still refused.
At this moment, Spirit Bell Grandmaster spoke, "I've known her for a thousand years. She doesn't partake in mortal food and even... somewhat detests it."
"Remember, in front of Gluttonyless Holy Mother, don't mention eating or drinking, or even food. Otherwise... the consequences are on you."
Hearing this, the True Deities behind him became fearful.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother's reputation preceded her.
They quickly hid the pills, elixirs, and wine they had on their bodies inside their storage bags.
Otherwise, if Gluttonyless Holy Mother discovered them, angering such a capricious person...
"Why did Gluttonyless Holy Mother leave the Sky Pillar? Strange, since merging with the Sky Pillar, she hasn't left for thousands of years."
Venerable Manas looked at the Sky Pillar in front, his eyes filled with surprise.
The Sky Pillar had been in disrepair and was on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
That's why Gluttonyless Holy Mother had always stayed within the Sky Pillar.
"Hey, someone's there!" An Ancient God spoke up.
Everyone looked over and saw a radiant light slowly passing by in the sky.
Within the radiant light, a woman in a scarlet robe, with snow-white skin, exquisite beauty, flowing black hair, and a faint smile on her pretty face.
She was like a painting come to life.
However, this fairy-like woman held three woks in her hands, several spatulas, and kitchen utensils hanging from her waist.
"Is this... Gluttonyless Holy Mother?" An Ancient God blinked.
This seemed somewhat different from their imagination.
Isn't Gluttonyless Holy Mother detached from mortal food?
Doesn't she usually not smile? Why is she smiling alone, holding a wok, with kitchen utensils hanging from her waist?
Venerable Manas was also stunned, almost thinking he had mistaken the person.
Fortunately, Spirit Bell Grandmaster didn't have a head, otherwise, his expression at this moment would have been quite interesting.
"Gluttonyless... what's this?" Spirit Bell Grandmaster voiced his doubt.
Gluttonyless Holy Mother, upon seeing the group, still had a faint smile on her face. She glanced at the person beside her and looked at the group, her gaze deep.
It was this gaze.
Spirit Bell Grandmaster let out a sigh of relief. This was the Gluttonyless Holy Mother he knew.
Just now, it must have been an illusion.
However, when he saw the items hanging from Gluttonyless Holy Mother's waist, he couldn't hold back.
"The Sky Pillar is unstable, I and Venerable Manas have come to take a look. Is your body unharmed?" Spirit Bell Grandmaster said.
"I'm fine." Gluttonyless Holy Mother replied indifferently.
At this moment, Venerable Manas asked, "In half a year, will Gluttonyless Holy Mother participate in the Dragon Ascension Arena battle to repel the evil deity?"
With the Sky Pillar in turmoil, Venerable Manas feared that Gluttonyless Holy Mother might get injured, affecting the battle to repel the evil deity at the Dragon Ascension Arena.
"Yes." Gluttonyless Holy Mother's voice was brief.
