Chapter 313: You Invite the Buddha, I Summon the Great Sage, Carving a Stone to Bring Forth a Divine
Chapter 313: You Invite the Buddha, I Summon the Great Sage, Carving a Stone to Bring Forth a Divine Monkey (Part 2)
"Today, this poor monk invites the Buddha!"
Boom—
The majestic and vast soul of heaven and earth was stirred by Huang Tuo, and behind him, it seemed as if there was an embryo, with countless bones growing within, and the spine and chest bones all emerged!
Divine Embryo's Second Divine Transformation! In just an instant, Huang Tuo's aura was completely different from when he had been sitting cross-legged on the platform for three days.
It was a terrifying aura that made Zhou Tian Shui and Yun Hai Yang lose the courage to even mention the carving knife. At this moment, all the divine carving masters who had come to observe in the Heavenly Origin Dao City fell into a deathly silence, so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.
Could Li Ban Sheng...
Win?!
Li Che's two fingers came together, and in his hand appeared the divine carving knife sponsored by the divine carving gold sponsor, Su Huai Ming.
His palm slapped onto the Nirvana Wood.
The phoenix blood burned like raging flames.
Li Che raised his hand and tapped his forehead, tearing the flesh on both sides.
Star-Plucking Eye!
Ten Thousand Analysis Endless!
Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit, full power unleashed!
Li Che retracted his gaze from Huang Tuo, who had already started carving.
He closed his eyes, then opened them again.
Within the Divine Infant's Inner Scene.
The Law-Nature Bright Divine Monkey emitted a deafening roar!
The carving knife fell onto the spirit wood.
Hiss—!!!
In the instant the spirit wood log fell, it seemed to turn into phoenix feathers and burn!
Like a phoenix spreading its wings and crying, countless dazzling flames stacked up behind him like unfolded wings!
"You invite the Buddha..."
"I summon the Great Sage!"
...
...
For most of the people in the Heavenly Origin Dao City, the carving process was dull, uninteresting, and boring.
Because they truly couldn't understand it.
However, for the many wood carving masters and divine carving masters, it was a pure enjoyment, making them intoxicated and unable to take their eyes off for even a moment.
One torch after another was lit around the platform, instantly illuminating the night.
Countless shadows piled up beneath the platform, creating a bustling atmosphere, and the dense crowd made everyone's eyes spin.
In the Dao Lord's mansion.
Snowflakes fell gently.
In the eight-cornered pavilion, the black tiles were completely covered in white snow, making it impossible to see their original color.
In the leisure pavilion, a stove heated boiling water, and within it, green tea leaves danced, occasionally spreading out and emitting a rich tea fragrance.
Dao Lord Yue Huanglong sat in the leisure pavilion, and across from him sat Ji Li Shou, wearing a Constellation Assassin Mask.
Yue Weizheng walked over from the garden with great enthusiasm.
"Father, Li Che has accepted Huang Tuo's divine carving competition!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Huanglong lightly nodded.
At the first commotion on the platform, his heavenly perception had already covered the area, allowing him to see the situation there.
"The court has dispatched me to station here and attempt to suppress the development of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. I am ashamed... When facing Lu Tai Bai, I can only tread carefully. But this time... I have also given it my all."
"With the birth of a Divine Eagle Demi-Saint in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, I have indeed lost my appetite and sleep. Fortunately, Huang Tuo, a Demi-Saint, has come, providing an opportunity to suppress the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Divine Eagle Demi-Saint."
Yue Huanglong smiled and spoke.
His gaze then fell upon Ji Lifu, who was wearing a mask.
"Your Highness, I wonder... does the Prince have any instructions or preparations?"
"As you know, Lu Tai Bai is at the top of both the Great Divine Chart and the Heavenly Gate Pass. I, as an official, feel immense pressure. The death of the Queen and General Li Qing have left me feeling ashamed and guilty. I... couldn't save them."
Yue Huanglong spoke with a hint of embarrassment.
But Ji Lifu, wearing the mask, was not fooled by Yue Huanglong's expression.
This old fox is definitely not an easy opponent.
The Great Jing consists of eleven divine sects.
The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, with Lu Tai Bai at the top, is highly valued by the Great Jing court. After all, Lu Tai Bai's personal strength is already formidable. If the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect were to develop further...
It would not be good news for the Great Jing.
Therefore, the court's decision to send someone to suppress the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect and confront Lu Tai Bai must be a significant move.
Yue Huanglong, I heard, is from the Divine Capital Yue Family.
The Yue Family is one of the ancient clans that supported the founding of the Great Jing.
A Ten Thousand Year Clan!
Ji Lifu naturally did not dare to underestimate him and would not be swayed by his words.
Yue Huanglong glanced at the silent Ji Lifu, his eyebrows furrowed. This little one is truly stubborn.
Yue Huanglong took a sip of tea, his eyes flashing.
He pondered why Li Che had suddenly agreed to a contest with Huang Tu, which, in theory, he shouldn't have.
Lu Tai Bai shouldn't have agreed either, although he had been stirring up trouble behind the scenes, manipulating some hooligans and small gang forces to create public opinion and rumors.
But these methods didn't have much impact.
For figures like Lu Tai Bai and Li Che, at the level of Divine Eagle Demi-Saints, public opinion had no effect on them.
Yue Huanglong had only agreed to try, but he never expected to force Li Che out...
Lu Tai Bai agreed?
But Huang Tu is from the Little Ling Yin Temple, a Divine Eagle Demi-Saint.
Backed by the Western Regions' Buddhist lands, he is highly skilled in manipulating people's minds. It's possible that during the carving process, Huang Tu was already preparing to convert Li Che.
Yue Huanglong seemed to realize something and narrowed his eyes.
The Netherworld...
Li Che's connection to the Netherworld...
Perhaps Lu Tai Bai had joined forces with the Netherworld?
The Willful Iron Divine Pole, obtained by the Netherworld, according to Yue Weizheng's message, was closely related to the temple deity Divine Sculpture created by Li Che.
Divine Monkey?!
Yue Huanglong's eyebrows furrowed, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
It seemed he had caught onto something, and a guess formed in his mind.
Could Li Che be the Divine Monkey?
But it shouldn't be, as Yue Weizheng said that the Divine Monkey and Li Che had participated in separate trials and were two different people.
But...
"We can't rule out the possibility of a top-tier clone..."
Yue Huanglong turned to Ji Lifu, put down his teacup, and said in a solemn tone, "Your Highness, I believe... you should wait below that high platform for a while."
"Perhaps..."
"Given Li Che's connection with the Netherworld, the Netherworld might take action against Huang Tu, and the Divine Monkey of the Netherworld... might also appear."
"The old Prince wants the Willful Iron Divine Pole, and this might be an excellent opportunity."
Ji Lifu, silent until now, had his eyes shift beneath the mask.
He glanced at Yue Huanglong and thought for about three breaths before slowly standing up.
Long Ao Lie was startled and hurried to follow.
Yue Huanglong watched as the two figures disappeared into the snowy night.
He chuckled and poured himself a cup of hot tea, sipping leisurely.
"Let others weaken the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect..."
"If such straightforward people came to help me every day, life would be so much easier."
...
...
Heavenly Origin Dao City.
The night, filled with heavy snow, suddenly lit up.
Central District.
A dazzling light tore through the silent, dark night!
Under the raised platform, silhouettes were visible.
On the platform, it was as if two different colors and auras collided! The night was completely divided.
On the left, flames soared into the sky, and a phoenix seemed to be rising from its nirvana, its loud cry almost echoing throughout the entire city, shaking everyone's souls!
On the other side, Buddhist light shone, like a great river pouring down from the heavens, cascading down from the ninth heaven. The brilliant golden light illuminated the earth, bringing forth brightness!
Li Che and Huang Tu were fully immersed in their carvings.
Their carvings were reaching their climax!
The powerful Divine Will between heaven and earth caused all the Divine Sculptor Masters to blush, their bodies trembling with excitement, tears streaming down their faces.
It was a moment of profound inspiration, a once-in-a-lifetime event!
Zhou Tian Shui and Yun Hai Yang, both Divine Sculptor Masters, felt a sense of improvement. Perhaps, in their remaining years, they might have a chance to strive for the level of Divine Eagle Demi-Saint.
Although the chances of success were slim, 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.
On the platform, the light began to gradually diminish, as if it had completely condensed into the two Divine Sculptures.
Huang Tu, bald-headed, was surrounded by a sea of golden light, while Li Che seemed enveloped by a storm of fiery feathers, each one a fragment of the spirit wood he had carved!
A gust of wind blew by.
As Li Che carved, the fire feathers spun like whirlwinds around his divine sculpture, both statues greedily absorbing the divine essence from the heavens and earth.
However, the Fifth Rank Upper Spirit Wood used by the two contained an extremely vast amount of divine essence.
Thus, this process didn't last long, and the divine aura of the carvings gradually stabilized.
The onlookers witnessed Huang Tu standing before a half-human-sized statue of a Six-Armed Buddha sitting on a Buddha Platform, his eyes filled with kindness and a peaceful smile, as if a single smile could dissolve all suffering in the world.
Below the platform, many commoners were deeply touched by the radiant golden light and the countless seven-colored radiance emanating from the Buddha sculpture. They knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves in reverence with three kneelings and nine kowtows.
The terrifying divine will spread, and the commoners couldn't resist this sincere devotion.
Zhou Tian Shui, Yun Hai Yang, and other Divine Sculptors felt a sense of awe and were subtly influenced.
"This divine sculpture..."
"It's like one of the top ten famous sculptures of Little Ling Yin Temple, the 'Six-Armed Buddha Delivering All Living Beings'!"
"Such a terrifying divine will. Even we cultivators almost got affected, let alone ordinary people."
"This Huang Tu Demi-Saint... He hadn't shown his true strength when he competed with us earlier, not even a tenth of it!"
The Divine Sculptors who had lost to Huang Tu felt a deep sense of oppression and desolation.
Could the gap be this vast?
Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia had already exited the carriage, their eyes fixed on Huang Tu's carving of the Buddha sculpture on the platform, feeling heavy-hearted.
They shifted their gaze to Li Che's sculpture.
At this sight, they were stunned.
"What... is this?"
Even the usually calm Gongshu Jingjun was taken aback.
"It's..."
"An egg?!"
"It doesn't look like an egg, more like an irregularly shaped stone by the riverbank?"
Tang Xiejia was also astonished, saying, "Could it be... that Li Che hasn't finished carving?"
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded by Li Che's sculpture, filled with shock and disbelief.
Zhou Tian Shui, Yun Hai Yang, and the other Divine Sculptors were speechless, unsure of what to say.
The two divine sculptures stood side by side, and the difference in quality was immediately apparent.
"Is Li Che's Demi-Saint too nervous?"
"His performance is a bit abnormal."
The Divine Sculptors from Heavenly Origin Dao City felt a sense of despair.
If even Li Che lost, the divine sculpting community in Heavenly Origin Dao City would lose all its prestige.
"Hahahaha..."
"Li, if you haven't finished carving, it's fine. You can continue, and once you're done, we can resume the divine will clash."
However, Li Che twirled his carving knife, then put it away.
With his hands in the sleeves of his black robe, Li Che stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I'm done carving. This is my finished work..."
"It's perfect, I..."
"Am very satisfied."
In Li Che's chest, the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit throbbed wildly.
Huang Tu narrowed his eyes, glancing at the egg-like divine sculpture, his mind filled with doubts.
But he didn't care.
His goal...
Had already been achieved.
"Amitabha."
"Since it's like this, Li..."
"Our divine sculptures will clash in divine will."
As Huang Tu finished speaking, the golden-trimmed red kasaya on his body fluttered in the strong wind.
"Lama, Om Mani Padme Hum..."
Sounds resembling the Buddha reciting sutras echoed from the platform, and the sutras seemed to materialize in the air.
Accompanied by the sound of bells ringing, the sutras continued to resonate.
Then...
Terrifying golden light erupted.
The 【Six-Armed Buddha Delivering All Living Beings】 in front of Huang Tu shone with brilliant light!
A hundred-meter-tall Buddha illusion suddenly appeared, spanning the central district of Heavenly Origin Dao City! Countless snowflakes instantly melted, and white mist enveloped the world!
The howling wind roared.
The six-armed Buddha's eyes smiled benevolently, delivering salvation to all beings.
With a compassionate gaze, the golden-bodied Buddha looked down at Li Che and his egg-like divine sculpture.
Everyone was nearly breathless.
The terrifying divine will seemed to burst through heaven and earth, and Li Che's divine aura was almost suppressed to a tiny space.
Li Che glanced at the giant Buddha.
He faintly felt a golden light, like a bone-deep tumor, shining upon his body, like a poisonous insect, frantically drilling into his body and toward his glabella.
"Save me?"
Li Che laughed.
He slowly crouched down.
His palm rested on the egg-like divine sculpture.
"Great Sage..."
"Come out and see the light."
The next moment.
On the egg-like stone sculpture.
Countless fine cracks appeared, and brilliant light burst from the fissures.
A loud explosion! Countless fire feathers soared into the sky!
Heaven-Shaking!
Stone-Shattering!
A divine monkey emerged.
Traverse Celestial Heights!
