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

Chapter 713: Chapter 238: Divine Talisman Half-Saint Suppresses the Dragon Maiden with a Talisman, Passing through the Human World Without Causing Any Ripples

Divinity is boiling, frantically converging, highly concentrated to the extreme, even inciting ceaseless gusts of wind!

That palm-sized wood carving cradled in Elder Sun’s embrace seemed to be glowing at this moment!

It became the focus of the entire room, drawing many gazes!

Su Huaiming, Zhou Tianshui, Yun Haiyang, and other Divine Sculpture Masters diligently prepared and carved temple god statues, and at this moment, their remnants of Divinity

were all drawn and captured, making the Guest Hall seem as if a wave of Divinity had surged.

Gongshu Jingjun dispersed the Divinity, causing the dense fog of Deity to vanish and the Formation beneath the cushion to no longer be activated.

His eyes were complex and filled with regret.

Elder Sun had long been a familiar figure, dedicating his life to the Divine Carving Ridge, and his favorite activity was to observe the Temple God, seeking to capture the God’s Intent in the temple god, wishing to carve a Temple God Statue with a God’s Intent reaching ninety percent.

But how could that be easy?

To reach such a standard, a Divine Sculpture Master would already be considered of the Four Imperial Ranks’ Divine Sculpture Saint Hand!

Throughout the entirety of Great Vista, such figures were exceedingly rare!

At the very least, within the Qianyuan Daoist City, there existed no Divine Sculpture Master of such caliber.

This was an existence even more rare than that of a Divine Fetus Great God, each a national treasure of Saint Level!

Gongshu Jingjun was extremely regretful, because, in Elder Sun’s last breath as life burned out, he touched the realm of the Four Imperial Divine Sculpture Saint Hand.

What a pity…

The flame of life also extinguished and ended at that moment!

Otherwise, even if Elder Sun could not advance to the level of a Four Imperial Divine Sculpture Saint Hand, he would still have had the confidence to take a further step on the current stand of the Five Elders Divine Sculpture Master!

Such a pity, such a pity…

Gongshu Jingjun sighed, “Old Sun, travel well…”

In human life, death is inevitable.

Gongshu Jingjun’s gaze fell on the Two-Minded Great Saint temple god statue cradled by Elder Sun.

A truly masterful creation carved from the most basic materials, so much so that even the Spiritual Wood could be considered ordinary, was in this moment, frantically siphoning the Divinity of heaven and earth.

Even Gongshu Jingjun at first glance almost thought he was directly facing the statue above the altar in the Mysterious Temple!

Too similar!

Not just in physical form, but even more so in the divine essence!

Third-rate Wood Carvers sculpt form.

Second-rate Wood Carvers sculpt details.

First-rate Wood Carvers sculpt divinity!

This moment’s statue, bearing a divinity that surpassed all of Old Sun’s previous temple god statue works, was the masterpiece of a life’s final flicker!

A masterpiece imbued with the Saint Hand’s essence!

Yet Old Sun said he wanted Li Che to complete the retouching of this wood carving…

At this moment, the eyes of all Woodcarving Masters in the Guest Hall turned red!

As Woodcarving Masters, they knew all too well what a wood carving imbued with a Saint Hand’s intent meant, and what retouching this wood carving could bring!

This was Old Sun helping Li Che!

To embed that strand of a Saint Hand’s intent perceived before death into the wood carving, hoping to pass it to Li Che through the method of continuative carving!

This was the inheritance of a Divine Sculpture Saint Hand!

The eyes of both Divine Sculpture Masters, Zhou Tianshui and Yun Haiyang, immediately envied and turned red, even revealing a hint of greed!

No person lacks greed…

Except for Gongshu Jingjun.

Even the Divine Sculpture Masters of the Divine Carving Ridge itself… couldn’t help but be moved at this moment.

After all…

This was the essence of a Divine Sculpture Master who had touched the level of a Four Imperial Divine Sculpture Saint Hand!

Even grasping a sliver of the Four Imperial Saint Hand’s insight could benefit one for a lifetime, enough to allow a Divine Sculpture Master stuck at the Six Bureaus’ level to step into the Five Elders Divine Sculpture Master tier!

The value of a Four Imperial Divine Sculpture Saint Hand… was too substantial!

After all, the entire Qianyuan Daoist City didn’t have a single Divine Sculpture Master!

Breathing heavily, each breath deeply resonant.

Li Che’s eyes filled with astonishment, hearing the old man’s last wish to gift him this unfinished Divine Sculpture, wanting him to complete the last of the carving, Li Che couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

This is, in essence, repaying a peach with a plum…

Perhaps, this is what truly reflects the mindset of a Divine Sculpture Master.

Li Che relied on the assistance of the [Immortal Artisan] Dao Fruit, whereas Elder Sun… did so without the help of a Dao Fruit, purely with his own 120 years of ceaseless observation of the Temple God, realizing that one true God’s Intent!

Li Che couldn’t help but feel a hint of respect in his heart.

This was respect for a true Saint Hand.

“A Che…”

“Elder Sun said before his passing that he entrusts you to complete the retouching of this statue, so you shall accept it…”

Master of the Divine Carving Ridge Gongshu Jingjun spoke faintly.

His powerful Divine Sense swept over, like oppressive dark clouds, causing every Divine Sculpture Master with a hint of greedy thoughts to shiver slightly.

This was the oppressive might of a Divine Fetus Great God’s Divine Sense.

In just an instant, they all sobered up.

“Thank you, Ridge Master, for the honor.”

Li Che bowed his fists in thanks to Gongshu Jingjun.

Following that, Li Che approached Elder Sun’s lifeless body.

He bowed his fists in a deep salute, out of respect for the deceased.

Then, he gently took over the unfinished Divine Sculpture.

A sculpture carved from the most ordinary of woods, yet it had siphoned all the Divinity of the Temple God.

Li Che took the wood carving, and within his chest, the [Immortal Artisan] Dao Fruit was throbbing wildly, beating with an unprecedented intensity!

This feeling was like the time when he was weak, the first time he received the “Tang’s Mechanism Essentials,” clearly something that could enhance the maturity of the Dao Fruit!
