Chapter 241: Immortal Engineering Dao Fruit Transformation LV5, Divine Carving Half Saint's Faint In
Chapter 241: Immortal Engineering Dao Fruit Transformation LV5, Divine Carving Half Saint's Faint Intention (Part 2)
"Elder Li, let's travel together in the same carriage. That way, we can look out for each other and join forces against the evildoers of the Corpse God Sect if we encounter them."
Zhou Tian Shui spoke in a deep voice.
The death of Su Huaiming truly shocked this group of masters who were solely focused on divine carving techniques.
The dangers of the world hit them in the face for the first time, making their hearts tremble. They couldn't wait to carve a divine carving to calm their nerves.
Li Che's expression also showed surprise, and his heart was still pounding. After chatting with the divine carving masters, they all boarded the carriage and headed towards the Dao City.
By the time they returned to the Dao City, night had completely fallen.
Lu Qingti sent someone to inform the Su family about Su Huaiming's situation.
The Su family was instantly shaken!
A terrifying aura surged and raged uncontrollably!
"Ahhhh!!!"
The Su family dispatched two Embryo Transformation Realm masters, who were furious and filled with divine essence.
In the darkness of the night, they sped out of the Dao City like two blazing suns, heading towards the wild mountains and valleys.
The Divine Carving Ridge also received the news, and Gongshu Jingjun personally rushed over. At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.
Looking at the deceased Su Huaiming and the Great Grandmaster, his eyes were filled with intense gravity.
"Corpse God Sect..."
Gongshu Jingjun's face was cold and stern, his killing intent palpable.
Today, they killed Su Huaiming. In the future...
Would they target the divine carving masters of the Divine Carving Ridge?
Boom, boom, boom—
The Su family's experts arrived and saw Su Huaiming's corpse. One of the masters trembled, his face turning pale.
Su Huaiming was a mid-ranked Five Elders divine carving master whom the Su family had painstakingly cultivated!
They had invested so many resources!
He had also provided countless precious divine carvings for the younger generations of the Su family.
Now, he had died so miserably in the wild mountains and valleys!
"It was indeed the Corpse God Sect, and it was one of their experts!"
"The death energy and corpse energy are extremely dense... It was even the will of the Corpse God that struck. With unmatched power, they forcibly killed the two."
"Su Huaiming had almost no chance to resist. This Great Grandmaster struggled, but facing the will of the Corpse God, he couldn't hold out..."
Gongshu Jingjun solemnly analyzed and explained the situation to the two masters.
"Corpse God Sect!"
"My Su family will never rest until we avenge this!"
The two Su family experts had no reason to doubt Gongshu Jingjun and naturally believed his judgment.
Their eyes turned bloodshot, and their angry roars shook the snowy mountains, causing crows to flap their wings in alarm.
...
...
Li Che was escorted back to Liuxiang Alley by Lu Qingti.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Zhang Ya was diligently practicing martial arts, striving to improve her strength. She didn't hold back on using the martial pills and divine essence crystals Li Che had given her.
Sweat poured down her face as her energy surged.
Apparently, Zhang Ya's physique had become even stronger under Li Che's guidance.
"Husband!"
When she saw Li Che returning in his ink-colored robe, Zhang Ya's eyes lit up.
She rushed over, resembling Xixi as if carved from the same mold, her long eyelashes trembling as she eagerly looked at Li Che.
"Husband, husband, how was it? Did you succeed?"
"It's okay if we failed. We'll have our chance in three years, and we'll definitely make it then!"
Zhang Ya clenched her small fists, her forehead still glistening with fine sweat from her training.
Li Che teased her, feigning disappointment.
Zhang Ya's expression changed slightly, and although she felt dejected, she quickly tried to comfort Li Che.
"Husband, don't be discouraged. Today, I saw Xixi, and she was so impressive! She found an incredibly awesome teacher!"
"Her performance at the Spring Greeting Tower was awe-inspiring, shaking the heavens and moving the ghosts and gods!"
Zhang Ya exaggerated.
She wanted to alleviate Li Che's disappointment.
The incident at the Spring Greeting Tower was so significant that almost everyone in the inner city had witnessed it.
Hearing this, Li Che's expression turned from surprise to skepticism as he listened to Zhang Ya's description, nodding repeatedly.
In the end, Zhang Ya couldn't hide her low spirits.
But Li Che burst into laughter and pinched her nose.
"I was just teasing you. How could your husband possibly fail?"
"Your husband has succeeded and become the Fifth Elder of the Divine Carving Ridge! Pack your things, and in two days, we'll move!"
Li Che said with a smile.
Zhang Ya froze for a moment, then screamed with joy! She jumped into Li Che's arms, hugging him like an octopus.
"You're the best, husband!"
Under the eaves.
Mupo sat in a rocking chair, a blanket over her legs, and a gentle smile on her face, watching the young couple's happiness.
...
...
In the Heavenly Origin Dao City, at the Listening Thunder Alley, there was an independent workshop courtyard.
The wind and snow swirled, but the scorching energy of the blood instantly evaporated, leaving the world clear and bright, and the night sky pure.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard.
His entire body was wrapped in energy like a coiling dragon, tempering his physical body, making his power even more terrifying.
As he opened and closed his eyes, Li Che extracted the last bit of medicinal power from the martial pill.
He slowly exhaled a scorching breath, filling the courtyard with hot air that instantly dissipated the cold.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
With one breath and one inhalation, the raging wind swept away the white mist.
Li Che sat cross-legged, calming his mind.
He took out the Heaven and Earth Jade containing Su Huaiming and Niu Shisan and began to inspect them.
Just one inspection left Li Che gasping in surprise.
He seemed to have underestimated the wealth accumulated by a mid-ranked Five Elders divine carving master!
"Fifth-rank divine essence crystals, a full fifty of them! And three hundred Six Ministries divine essence crystals!"
"This... is too much wealth, right?!"
"It's a pity that absorbing divine essence crystals isn't easy. Otherwise, Su Huaiming could have relied on divine essence crystals to reach the Embryo Transformation Realm."
Li Che was genuinely shocked.
But soon, he was overjoyed. His cultivation was like a gold-devouring beast.
Whether it was the Spirit Enlightened Ape, the various temple deity forms, or the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, they all required the divine essence crystals of the Five Elders.
Moreover, for the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, only the first fifth-rank divine essence crystal had the best effect...
Subsequent crystals had diminishing effects, and the absorption rate slowed down. However, they could be accumulated.
"The stockpile of pills is also extraordinary. Although the person is weak, the equipment is complete!"
Li Che was dazzled by the wealth.
There were actually five fifth-rank martial pills!
With Su Huaiming's physical strength, he couldn't consume these fifth-rank martial pills without risking an explosion. Yet, he had prepared them in advance...
He was the type of person who, despite his lack of skill, ensured his equipment was top-notch.
In the end, it all fell into Li Che's lap.
"This is..."
Suddenly, Li Che's gaze froze, as if it had solidified.
"This is... a fifth-rank upper-tier spirit wood?!"
"Phoenix Blood Phoenix Dwelling Nirvana Wood?!"
Li Che took a deep breath, and even he felt his heart stirring intensely.
An immense fortune, a heavenly wealth!
The only piece of fifth-rank upper-tier spirit wood, its divine essence was incredibly rich.
Even through the Qianyuan space, Li Che felt a scorching and vibrant vitality!
A fifth-rank upper-tier spirit wood! Even Su Huaiming would find it challenging to carve.
This spirit wood was purely part of Su Huaiming's collection!
Aside from this piece of fifth-rank upper-tier spirit wood...
There were also two pieces of fifth-rank lower-tier spirit wood!
One of them was the Bloodfire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood that Li Che had obtained in the Wicked Pagoda.
The other was a fifth-rank lower-tier Wind Thunder Dragon Chi Wood!
Undoubtedly, these were Su Huaiming's preparations as he aimed to break through to the fifth-rank upper-tier Divine Carving Master level.
Now...
It all belonged to Li Che!
Fifth-rank spirit wood... was not something easily obtained.
Even with Li Che's current status as an elder of the Divine Carving Ridge in the Qianyuan Divine Sect, acquiring fifth-rank spirit wood...
Would require patience and waiting. Perhaps only when a quota became available would he have a chance to obtain one!
Only for such important Divine Carving Ridge elder assessments would a piece of fifth-rank spirit wood be prepared in secret.
Li Che couldn't help but smile.
Su Huaiming held a high position in the Su family, and it was clear that these were obtained with the family's help.
The Su family, with its three thousand years of accumulated wealth, was naturally impressive, and acquiring spirit wood was not too difficult for them.
"I can't imagine... the treasure trove of the Su family, a great aristocratic family that has risen and fallen over three thousand years, must be incredibly beautiful."
Li Che couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
The only pity was that Su Huaiming didn't seem interested in martial arts, and there were no Divine Seed Martial Arts among his collections.
After finishing the inventory of Su Huaiming's treasures, Li Che looked at Niu Shisan's Heaven Earth Jade...
Even a Primordial Great Grandmaster would feel like a beggar in comparison.
Although Niu Shisan also possessed a precious fifth-rank martial pill...
It could be said that without comparison, there would be no harm.
Li Che immersed himself in his thoughts, calming the excitement that had surged within him from the overwhelming fortune.
With a slight movement of his mind, Li Che took out two wooden carvings.
One of them was a blood-red statue covered in bloodfire divine patterns, the very statue he had carved during his recent Divine Carving Ridge assessment, the Heaven-Emulating Earth-Resembling Spiritual Bright True Ape Divine Carving!
According to its rank, it should be of the lower Five Elders rank.
This also indicated that Li Che's current Divine Carving Master level had reached the lower Five Elders realm.
Although this divine carving was not easy to create, it brought about a significant improvement for Li Che!
Li Che exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He then took out another statue.
This was the statue that Elder Sun had left behind before his passing, containing the insights of a Divine Carving Demi-Saint, intended to be passed on to Li Che!
The statue was nearly complete, requiring only a few more strokes of the knife.
However, for Li Che, the decision of where and how to cut was an extremely challenging task.
In his chest, the Immortal Art Dao Fruit throbbed.
In his eyes, a radiant glow flashed.
【Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisanry (LV4, 96%)】
Carving a fifth-rank lower-tier divine carving and bringing the Heaven-Emulating Earth-Resembling Spiritual Bright True Ape to life in the present world.
Indeed, this significantly increased the maturity of Li Che's Immortal Artisanry Dao Fruit!
And now, it was only 4% away from full maturity.
Li Che's gaze lowered, focusing on the statue given to him by Elder Sun.
He took out Su Huaiming's Divine Carving Master toolset.
The carving knives were of extremely high quality, reaching the upper Six Ministries rank!
With Li Che's enhancement from Qi-Blood Mist, the knife was directly elevated to the lower Five Elders rank.
However, Li Che didn't pay much attention to the knife, his gaze fixed on the Six-Ear Hell Lotus Sacred Monkey, the Two-Hearted Great Sage statue quietly placed in the center of the courtyard.
He stared at it, examining and contemplating.
In his mind, he simulated various ways of cutting, considering the force, angle, and thickness of the wood to be cut...
His mind felt like it was going through a storm.
He simulated over and over again!
But each simulated cut compromised the divine intent of the divine carving.
It couldn't achieve perfection or seamlessly continue Elder Sun's divine intent.
This feeling made Li Che extremely uncomfortable.
It was as if his chest was blocked, and his face turned pale.
On his forehead...
Unconsciously, a tiny bead of sweat rolled down.
Suddenly, the entire courtyard became quiet.
The snow fell gently, covering the courtyard ground with a thick layer.
Even Li Che's body was covered in a layer of white.
Time passed, perhaps a hundred breaths, or maybe a thousand.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of any emotional turmoil.
No more restlessness, no more blockage, no more hesitation...
His mind was clear as water.
It was as if the dust had been washed away, and his heart became calm and strong.
Li Che's powerful Qi-Blood silently churned, shaking off the snow on his body.
The accumulated snow in the small courtyard instantly evaporated, transforming into countless rising streams of vapor that filled the courtyard.
Li Che gripped the divine carving knife and slowly swung it towards Elder Sun's divine carving, making a single cut.
With the understanding of the Divine Carving Demi-Saint's insight!
The cut was firm, and his heart was unwavering.
Scratch, scratch, scratch.
Wood shavings swirled around his fingertips.
The sound of the knife silently slicing through the wood echoed in the quiet courtyard.
The Great Dao was silent.
The knife fell without a sound.
"Huff."
As he exhaled, he blew away all the wood shavings from the statue.
It was as if a golden light flowed and shimmered from the divine carving, carved from the most ordinary wood!
On the Two-Hearted Great Sage statue.
It was as if a tear had fallen.
Li Che remained silent.
Before his eyes, the radiant glow flowed like water.
