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

Chapter 929: Chapter 285 Mysterious Fog Reveals Carving of Temple God, Wood Carving Cracks Elder Li Completely Goes Mad [Request for Monthly Ticket]_2

”This kid... is really going to make it.”

...

Lv Taibai’s silver hair fluttered in the wind, holding Xi Xi in one hand and the Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha in the other.

One big, two small, they gazed from afar at the workshop where Li Che’s extraordinary wood carving had emerged with just nine cuts.

He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha beside him: ”Madam... it seems you’re going to lose this bet of yours.”

Xuan Qisha’s small face was adorned with exquisite makeup, but hearing these words, she couldn’t help but pout.

”Drawing conclusions this early?”

”It’s still early; stepping into the realm of a Semi-Saint in any profession is never an easy or simple task. It’s just the beginning... To carve a Half-Saint Divine Sculpture, he’ll have to undergo many difficult steps...”

Xuan Qisha tilted her head slightly; being a Divine Talisman Half-Saint, she knew all too well how high the gold content was for any path leading to becoming a Semi-Saint, and how great the difficulty was.

At this thought, Xuan Qisha focused on Li Che’s movements, watching carefully.

In reality, the bet was no longer important.

The crucial point was whether Li Che could become a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint.

For Xuan Qisha, Lv Taibai, Hong Shifu, and others, from the start of Li Che’s carving, they could determine whether Li Che had the chance to attempt becoming a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint.

And now...

Li Che clearly had the chance.

Xi Xi didn’t understand, blinking her big eyes, though she couldn’t comprehend her father’s carving skills, she turned to look at the expressions of those around her.

The Sect Master and the Sect Master’s Wife were both incredibly serious-faced.

Xi Xi immediately understood.

My dad is awesome—!

...

...

Li Che felt himself entering a unique state.

His spirit seemed to be boiling, his blood surging throughout his body, like bubbles rising in lava.

Terrifying power roared in his muscles, flesh, and meridians, and the torrential force, crashing down like a mighty sea, if leaked, could instantly pulverize the mortal wood he was carving to dust.

The Immortal Craft Dao Fruit madly resonated like it was releasing streams of heat.

Li Che needed to control his strength with extreme precision, wielding the carving knife to sketch the rough outline on the mortal wood.

The Shen Yuan Golden Elixir also emerged, spinning and shedding its vast divinity.

This time, Li Che planned to carve the [Six-Eared Prison Lotus Divine Monkey Two-Minded Great Saint Divine Sculpture] once again.

Yes, the very Divine Sculpture Elder Sun had carved from mortal wood.

The unfinished Divine Sculpture continued to be sculpted by Li Che, containing Elder Sun’s understanding of this statue.

Before his death, he glimpsed the second form of the Temple God...

And understood the Temple God’s true emotions and attitude.

Now, Li Che intended to carve that very Temple God Divine Sculpture.

Elder Sun, carving in front of everyone back then, was so close to completing it, close to becoming a genuine Divine Sculpture Half-Saint.

But just that tiny difference remained. Though he felt no regret, he still left with some unfulfillment.

Li Che was considered to have received his legacy, and that statue indeed brought Li Che immense gains, allowing his Immortal Craft Dao Fruit to break through and transform.

Grasping the Divine Weapon Carving Knife, his powerful qi-blood and divinity entwined almost inseparably, the carving knife like a branding iron, gently sliced through the mortal wood as if it were butter.

With a soft ”click,” as wood shavings fell, after nine cuts outlining the rough form, Li Che continued his carving.

With every stroke, the divinity between heaven and earth suddenly began to converge, seemingly drawn by some invisible force.

Rumble——

The Spring Rain twisted and tilted, shattered and burst by the invisible force, and in an instant, a misty fog exploded above the entire Divine Carving Ridge workshop, covering the sky.

Li Che’s eyes seemed to drip with a rich golden sandalwood, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit concentrating to the extreme at this moment.

Gold Core, Physical Body, Dao Fruit, the three seemed to merge as one.

All around was deathly quiet, no one dared to speak or even breathe heavily.

Feeling the increasingly rich Temple God Divinity in the air, experiencing the Divine Carving Ridge as if shrouded in thick fog, many people’s eyes flashed with strange colors.

The Divine Sculpture Masters and Wood Carvers were watching in fascination, completely immersed in Li Che’s Return to the Original True Self-like technique.

Every technique of the Divine Carving Technique, every angle the carving knife struck, the curved outlines, and handling, were extremely perfect, exhibiting an unflashy but incredibly mature and composed style!

Yun Haiyang and Zhou Tianshui, the two masters, watched with flushed faces.

Insiders observe the skills, while outsiders watch the spectacle.

Outsiders only focus on the divine manifestation amid Li Che’s carving, like a display of heavenly anomaly, indicating that Li Che’s Divine Sculpture was truly powerful and impressive.

But someone like Zhou Tianshui, a Divine Sculpture Master, observes the skills.

They perceive Li Che’s excellence in technique, ideas, and sequence of cuts, experiencing the finesse of the Divine Carving Technique!

”Is this really a twenty-four-year-old young man?”

The Yun Family’s Divine Sculpture Master, Yun Haiyang, trembled slightly, in amazement, admiration, and overwhelmed shock!

Even they, in technique, were far from comparing to Li Che’s composure.

Steady, solid, meticulous... a style belonging to a sincere person, forming its unique system!

”The most important thing is...”

”This God’s Intent of the Two-Minded Great Saint!”

”Different... it’s different once again... different from what Elder Sun carved back then!”

”He’s not simply reproducing it! He truly has his own essence!”

The surrounding people’s shocked emotions nearly overflowed.

But for Li Che, nothing else mattered; currently, in his eyes, all that remained was the wood carving before him.
