As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 706: Chapter 236: The Demon Ape Shatters the Illusions with One Strike to Heaven, the Divine Talisman Suppresses and Explodes You Liqing [Seeking Monthly Ticket]

Green Bird and Long Tai were shocked, their movements awkward as they swiftly retreated. Long Tai pulled out his Crocodile Head Axe while Green Bird took the Divine Bow from his back, and in a creaking sound, the bow was fully drawn, stringing six arrows upon it.

They then saw a small Divine Talisman, the size of a child’s palm, transform into a streak of Golden Light, fiercely smacking onto You Liqing’s forehead.

You Liqing’s body suddenly shot out uncontrollably like a cannonball, tracing a streak of Golden Light in mid-air.

He then smashed through the black tiled roof of the Spring Pavilion, causing the flying eaves to break and collapse, crashing into the pavilion.

Inside, Fourth Elder Ji Heshan and Dragon Queen Consort Ao Yuxin, who were enjoying their tea, abruptly stopped their movements.

They looked at the miniature Divine Talisman on You Liqing’s forehead.

Ji Heshan spit out a mouthful of tea violently.

His eyes contracted, and he was visibly shocked!

“Is it her?!”

…

In the Strange Temple of the Six-Eared Prison Lotus Divine Monkey Two-Minded Great Saint.

At the temple entrance.

Gongshu Jingjun’s gaze shifted and landed on the Demon Ape Divine Sculpture that Li Che was holding.

The Demon Ape, carved from Blood Fire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood, had a color all over like dark red amber.

The tadpole-shaped Blood Fire Divine Patterns on it seemed like flames burning.

Such was Gongshu Jingjun’s powerful Divine Sense that a mere sweep over it made him feel the suppressed Divine Essence of the sculpture, cunningly concealed, and brimming like a Mixed World Demon Ape that roared at the skies, holding a golden rod condensed of Divinity, dominantly Unparalleled!

Most importantly…

This Mixed World Demon Ape gave Gongshu Jingjun a sense of familiarity.

This familiarity stemmed from the Temple Guardian Curse Corpse King that he had just seen amidst the Mysterious Fog!

The meditating Demon Ape Corpse King, breathing in and out!

So similar! It really was too similar!

Although the Mysterious Fog made it impossible to see the true face of the Demon Ape Corpse King, the feeling it gave off was too akin to the Divine Sculpture that Li Che was holding!

“Che, have you seen the Temple Guardian Corpse King of this Strange Temple?”

Gongshu Jingjun asked solemnly.

Li Che was startled. Temple Guardian Corpse King?

He truly didn’t understand.

Seeing Li Che’s confused expression, which didn’t seem feigned, Gongshu Jingjun almost imperceptibly shook his head.

“Nevermind…”

“Your Divine Sculpture…”

Gongshu Jingjun didn’t know how to evaluate it.

It was extraordinary, and he could see through the rank of this Divine Sculpture at a glance.

Five Elders Rank!

What did this imply?

Li Che’s wood carving level had already reached that of a Five Elders Divine Sculpture Master.

Of course, to be promoted to a Divine Sculpture Master of the Five Elders Rank, it wasn’t enough just to carve a Divine Sculpture of Five Elders Rank.

It required carving a Divine Sculpture of Five Elders Rank from the upper-tier Spiritual Wood of the Six Divisions, through craftsmanship letting the grade of the Divine Sculpture undergo transformation and enhancement.

This was the true mark of a Five Elders Divine Sculpture Master.

As for the present Li Che, he could only be considered half a master.

“Pretty good.”

“But, this Divine Sculpture of yours is not a Temple God, in the process of God’s Intent conflicting… I’m afraid you’ll suffer greatly.”

“Temple Gods are claimed to be invincible at the same tier, reaping benefits during the clash of God’s Intent,” Gongshu Jingjun said.

“Additionally… your Blood Fire Divine Pattern…”

However, before he could finish, Li Che merely smiled: “It’s not a problem…”

“Just a minor issue.”

Then, in front of Gongshu Jingjun, Li Che took out a Sixth-Order Martial Pill and popped it into his mouth.

The Elixir went down his throat, its effects bursting forth with a powerful Qi-Blood surge, rushing through Li Che’s body like a roaring river.

Instantly, the Blood Fire Divine Patterns clinging to half of Li Che’s body began to disperse and extinguish.

It could be done like this?!

Even a worldly Divine Fetus Practitioner was taken aback at this moment, a bit stunned by Li Che’s maneuver.

However, Gongshu Jingjun did not dwell too much on it, merely giving Li Che a deep look—he wasn’t foolish…

What effects could Martial Pills have that he wouldn’t know?

No wonder Tang Sanjia took interest in this youth; he had quite a few tricks hidden.

His strength probably wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Without further conversation, after they walked out of the range of the Strange Temple, they directly passed through the Mysterious Fog and left the Strange Que.

Stepping out from the Strange Que, the Divinity in the world instantly diminished by several levels.

In that moment, there was a hollow feeling in their hearts.

“The Divinity within the Strange Que is indeed rich which is greatly beneficial for Divine Cultivators and is also not insignificant in aiding Martial Artists,”

“Overcoming the Divine Power, the Divine Power released by the invasion of the Strange Temple, is in fact constantly helping Martial Artists refine their bodies…”

“Why after the birth of the Strange Temple, it has become easier for Martial Artists to break through, in previous eras of Pure Martial it was as hard as ascending to the heavens to produce a Martial Saint, but in this era, it has become much easier.”

Gongshu Jingjun seemed to know what Li Che was feeling and explained.

“The Mysterious Fog produced by the Strange Temple is considered by many to be a Cave Paradise as recorded in ancient texts.”

Cave Paradise?

Li Che raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

After leaving the Strange Temple.

Li Che looked back once at the Strange Temple standing solitary in the wind and snow.

The next moment, he left with Gongshu Jingjun, returning to the reception hall in Divine Carving Ridge.

The reception hall of Divine Carving Ridge was already filled with people.

These were all Wood Carving Masters who had obtained the spots to participate in the assessment.

However, most of the Wood Carving Masters were just there to spectate, merely there to experience the Divine wash in the Strange Que, while those who could make it to the Strange Temple were there to observe one of the Five Elders Temple Gods.

Those who actually carved a Divine Sculpture.

They were Su Huaiming, Zhou Tianshui, Yun Haiyang… and Li Che.

Su Huaiming held his Divine Sculpture, standing upright, his hair and beard fluttering, a smile brimming across his face.
