Chapter 313: You Invite the Buddha, I Summon the Great Sage, Carve a Stone and Out Jumps a Sacred Mo
Chapter 313: You Invite the Buddha, I Summon the Great Sage, Carve a Stone and Out Jumps a Sacred Monkey (Part 2)
He slapped his palm on the Nirvana Wood.
The Phoenix blood burned like a raging fire.
Li Che raised his hand, touched his brow, and tore the flesh apart.
Star-Plucking Eye!
Ten Thousand Analysis Infinite!
Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, full power!
Li Che withdrew his gaze from the already moving Huang Tuo.
He closed his eyes and then opened them again.
In the inner landscape of his mud pill.
The Heaven Earth Emulating Bright True Ape roared deafeningly!
The carving knife fell on the Spirit Wood.
Sss—!!!
The moment a piece of Spirit wood fell, it seemed to transform into a burning phoenix feather!
It was as if a phoenix spread its wings and cried, with countless brilliant flames forming like wings behind him!
"You invite the Buddha..."
"I summon the Great Sage!"
...
...
The carving process was very tedious and boring for most of the citizens of the Heavenly Origin Dao City.
Because they truly couldn't understand it.
However, for many of the wood carving and Divine Sculpting masters, it was a sheer enjoyment, utterly engrossed, and they couldn't bear to look away for a moment.
One torch after another was lit around the high platform, instantly illuminating the night.
Countless figures gathered below the high platform, making it incredibly lively and crowded, with so many people that it made everyone's eyes dazzle.
In the Dao Lord's residence.
Snowflakes fell gently.
On the Eight-Angle Pavilion, the black tiles were completely covered by the snow, making it impossible to see the color of the tiles.
In the leisure pavilion, a hot stove boiled water, and the green tea leaves danced up and down, occasionally spreading an extremely rich tea fragrance.
Dao Lord Yue Huanglong sat in the leisure pavilion, and opposite him sat Ji Li Shou, wearing a Constellation Killer mask.
Yue Wei walked briskly from the garden.
"Father, Li Che has accepted Huang Tuo's Divine Sculpture Competition!"
Yue Huanglong nodded lightly upon hearing this.
At the first sign of the commotion on the high platform, his Heaven-Human Induction had already covered the scene.
"The court has assigned this official to be stationed here to try to suppress the development of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. I am ashamed... Facing Lu Tai Bai, I can only tread on thin ice. This time... I have used all my strength."
"The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect has produced a Divine Falcon Demi-Saint, and I have been unable to eat or drink properly. Fortunately, Half-Saint Huang Tuo has come, and this is a good opportunity to suppress the Divine Falcon Demi-Saint of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."
Yue Huanglong spoke with a smile.
Then, his gaze fell upon Ji Li Shou, who was wearing a mask.
"Your Highness, I wonder... does the King have any instructions or preparations?"
"As you know, Lu Tai Bai is a dual-listed supreme expert in both the Great Divine Spectrum and the Heavenly Gate. I, as an official, am under tremendous pressure. The death of the Queen and General Li Qing both make me feel ashamed and guilty. I... couldn't save them."
Yue Huanglong spoke with a hint of embarrassment.
However, Ji Li Shou, wearing the mask, was not deceived by Yue Huanglong's expression.
This old fox is definitely not someone to be taken lightly.
The Great Jing Dynasty has eleven Divine Sects, each representing one of the eleven paths.
The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, with Lu Tai Bai, a dual-listed supreme expert, is highly valued by the Great Jing court. After all, Lu Tai Bai's personal strength is already extremely powerful, and if the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect were to develop further...
It would definitely not be good news for the Great Jing Dynasty.
Therefore, the court must have sent someone capable of suppressing the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and confronting Lu Tai Bai.
Yue Huanglong, I heard, is from the Yue family of the Divine Capital.
The Yue family is one of the major clans that supported the founding of the Great Jing Dynasty.
A family with a long and prestigious history!
Ji Li Shou naturally did not dare to underestimate him, nor would he be swayed by his words.
Yue Huanglong glanced at the silent Ji Li Shou, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. This little one is truly stubborn.
Yue Huanglong took a sip of tea, his eyes glimmering.
He was pondering why Li Che had suddenly agreed to the competition with Huang Tuo. Logically, he shouldn't have.
Lu Tai Bai shouldn't have agreed either, even with Yue Huanglong's behind-the-scenes manipulation, stirring up thugs and small gang forces to create public opinion and rumors.
But such methods actually had little impact.
But such methods actually had little impact.
At the level of Lu Tai Bai and Li Che, Divine Falcon Demi-Saints, the attitudes of the common people couldn't influence them.
Yue Huanglong had only suggested the competition as a trial, but he never expected to actually push Li Che out...
If Lu Tai Bai agreed? That's Huang Tuo, a Divine Falcon Demi-Saint from Xiaolingyin Temple.
Backed by the Western Regions' Buddhist lands, Huang Tuo is extremely skilled in swaying people's hearts. It's possible that during the carving process, Huang Tuo was already preparing to enlighten Li Che.
Yue Huanglong seemed to have thought of something, narrowing his eyes.
The Netherworld...
Li Che's connection with the Netherworld...
Perhaps, Lu Tai Bai has joined forces with the Netherworld?
The Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff was obtained by the Netherworld, according to Yue Wei Zheng's report. The Divine Monkey's acquisition of the Divine Staff is closely related to the Temple God Divine Sculpture carved by Li Che.
Hmm?!
Yue Huanglong's eyebrows furrowed, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
As if he had caught onto something, a guess formed in his mind.
Could Li Che... be the Divine Monkey? But that's unlikely, as Yue Wei Zheng said that the Divine Monkey and Li Che participated in separate trials, meaning they are two different individuals.
But...
"We can't rule out the possibility of some top-tier doppelganger techniques..."
Yue Huanglong turned to Ji Li Shou, put down his teacup, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, I believe... you should wait below that high platform for a while."
"Perhaps..."
"Given the connection between Li Che and the Netherworld, the Netherworld might take action against Huang Tuo, and the Divine Monkey of the Netherworld... might also appear."
"The old King wants the Willful Golden Iron Divine Staff, and this might be a great opportunity."
Ji Li Shou, silent until now, had his masked eyes flicker with emotion.
He glanced at Yue Huanglong, paused for about three breaths, then slowly stood up.
Dragon Son Ao Lie was startled and hurried to catch up.
Yue Huanglong watched as the two figures disappeared into the snowy night.
He chuckled.
Pouring himself a cup of hot tea, he leisurely took a sip.
"Letting others weaken the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect..."
"If there were more straightforward people like this to help me, it would be so much easier."
...
...
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
The night, filled with heavy snowfall, was suddenly disrupted.
Central District.
Brilliant light tore through the dark and silent night!
Under the raised platform, shadows of people were visible.
On the platform, it was as if two different colors and auras clashed! The night was completely divided.
On the left, flames soared into the sky, and a phoenix seemed to be reborn in the flames, its loud cries echoing throughout the city, shaking every soul!
On the right, Buddhist light shone, like a great river pouring down from the heavens, dazzling golden light illuminating the earth and bringing forth brightness!
Li Che and Huang Tuo were fully immersed in their carvings.
Their carvings were nearing completion! The powerful divine intent reverberated between heaven and earth, causing the faces of the Divine Sculpture masters to flush, their bodies trembling with excitement, tears streaming down their faces.
It was a moving moment, like 'hearing the Dao in the morning and dying in the evening'! Such a grand event, such an incredible display of Divine Sculpture art!
It was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity! Zhou Tian Shui and Yun Hai Yang, both Divine Sculpture masters, felt significant progress, and perhaps in their lifetime, they might have a chance to challenge the realm of Divine Falcon Demi-Saint.
Although the chances of success were extremely low, it was still much better than having no hope at all!
"It's done!"
Suddenly, Zhou Tian Shui's body trembled with excitement as he gazed at the platform above and spoke.
On the platform, the light began to gradually diminish, as if it had been completely absorbed into the two Divine Sculptures.
Huang Tuo's bald head glowed with radiant Buddhist light, like a thousand-watt bulb.
On the other side, Li Che's body was enveloped in a flurry of fiery feathers, which were wood shavings from his carving!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
However, the two of them used the Five-Rank Upper Spirit Wood, which inherently contained extremely vast divine essence.
Therefore, this process didn't last too long, and the divine falcon's aura gradually stabilized.
When everyone looked over, they saw a half-human-sized statue of the Buddha with six arms sitting cross-legged on a Buddhist platform in front of Huang Tuo. With a kind and benevolent gaze, his face wore a harmonious smile, as if a single smile could dissolve all the suffering in the world.
Below the high platform.
Many commoners saw this golden and splendid Buddha statue, even reflecting countless seven-colored clouds of light, and their hearts were almost instantly touched. They knelt devoutly on the ground, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, sincerely worshipping!
The terrifying divine intent just spread out, making it impossible for the commoners to resist this sincerity.
Zhou Tian Shui, Yun Hai Yang, and other divine sculpture masters were all startled, feeling as if they had been influenced.
"This divine sculpture..."
"It's like one of the top ten famous sculptures in Xiaolingyin Temple, the 'Six-Armed Buddha Bestowing Salvation Divine Sculpture'!"
"Such a terrifying divine intent, even we cultivators almost got caught in the path, let alone ordinary people."
"This Huang Tuo demi-sage... previously, when he competed with us, he didn't show his true level, not even one-tenth of his ability!"
The numerous divine sculpture masters who had lost to Huang Tuo only felt a million times of suppression and desolation in their hearts.
Could the gap be so huge?
Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia had already stepped out of the carriage, staring intently at the high platform where Huang Tuo's carved Buddha sculpture was located, their hearts heavy.
When they looked at the divine sculpture that Li Che had carved...
They were stunned.
"What... is this?"
Even Gongshu Jingjun, who was usually calm and collected, was dumbfounded.
"This is..."
"An egg?!"
"It doesn't really look like an egg, more like an irregular stone by the riverbank?"
Tang Xiejia was also astonished, saying, "Could it be... that Ah Che didn't finish carving?"
At this moment, Zhou Tian Shui, Yun Hai Yang, and the other divine sculpture masters were speechless, not knowing what to say.
The two divine sculptures placed side by side.
It was as if the difference was immediately apparent!
"Is Li Che's demi-sage... too nervous?"
"His performance is a bit abnormal."
The divine sculpture masters of Qianyuan Dao City felt despair in their hearts.
If even Li Che loses, then the divine sculpture world of Qianyuan Dao City will completely lose face.
"Hahahaha..."
"Li benefactor, did you not finish carving? No matter, you can continue. Once you're done, we can continue the divine intent clash."
However.
Li Che played with the carving knife in his hand and put it away. He tucked his hands into the sleeves of his black robe and stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "I'm done carving, this is my work..."
"It's perfect, I..."
"Am very satisfied."
In Li Che's chest, the immortal craft dao fruit was wildly throbbing!
Huang Tuo narrowed his eyes, glancing at the divine sculpture that resembled an irregular riverbank pebble, and doubts arose in his heart.
However, he didn't mind.
His purpose...
Had already been achieved.
"Amitabha."
"Since it's like this, Li benefactor..."
"Our divine sculptures, divine intent clash."
Huang Tuo finished speaking.
The gold-trimmed red kasaya on his body fluttered in the strong wind.
"Lama siddhi..."
Sounds resembling the Buddha reciting true sutras echoed on the high platform. Faintly, those true sutra verses seemed to materialize, condensing in the space between heaven and earth.
Accompanied by the sound of bells ringing, they constantly entwined.
Then...
Terrifying golden light burst forth.
The [Six-Armed Buddha Bestowing Salvation Divine Sculpture] in front of Huang Tuo instantly shone with dazzling light!
A hundred-meter-tall Buddha shadow suddenly appeared!
It spanned across the central district of Qianyuan Dao City! Countless snowflakes instantly melted, and white mist enveloped the sky!
The strong wind howled.
The six-armed Buddha's eyes carried a smile, and with one smile, he bestowed salvation!
His benevolent and kind gaze looked down upon the golden body, looking down upon Li Che, looking down upon... Li Che's divine sculpture egg.
Everyone was almost breathless.
The terrifying divine intent seemed to break through heaven and earth, and Li Che's divine aura was almost suppressed to the point of being confined to his heart.
Li Che glanced at the great Buddha.
Faintly, he felt a golden light like a bone-eating maggot shining upon his body, frantically drilling into his body and towards his brow's navel mansion.
"Save me?"
"Since it's like this, Li benefactor..."
"Our divine sculptures, divine intent clash."
Huang Tuo finished speaking.
The gold-trimmed red kasaya on his body fluttered in the strong wind.
"Lama siddhi..."
Sounds resembling the Buddha reciting true sutras echoed on the high platform. Faintly, those true sutra verses seemed to materialize, condensing in the space between heaven and earth.
Accompanied by the sound of bells ringing, they constantly entwined.

His benevolent and kind gaze looked down upon the golden body, looking down upon Li Che, looking down upon... Li Che's divine sculpture egg.
Everyone was almost breathless.
The terrifying divine intent seemed to break through heaven and earth, and Li Che's divine aura was almost suppressed to the point of being confined to his heart.
Li Che glanced at the great Buddha.
Faintly, he felt a golden light like a bone-eating maggot shining upon his body, frantically drilling into his body and towards his brow's navel mansion.
"Save me?"
