Chapter 357: Mystic Tortoise Carries the Double Pupil Demigod's Ultimate Masterpiece, Defying Destin
Chapter 357: Mystic Tortoise Carries the Double Pupil Demigod's Ultimate Masterpiece, Defying Destiny, Divine Craft's Fourth Transformation [Seeking Monthly Ticket] (Part 2)
The Four Virtues Divinity Spirit Wood inherently possesses spirituality. If a Divine Carving Master wishes to carve a Divine Carving from a spiritual wood, they must first tame and subdue the spirit within.
Whoosh!
The Prison Lightning Heavenly Net had already begun to dissipate.
The entire ninth level was left with only the howling wind and the surging spirit, like a relentless tide!
On the edge of the ninth level, the two Deputy Supervisors, Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen, narrowed their eyes slightly, while Hong Shifo clenched his fists in extreme tension.
"Can it be done?" Hong Shifo asked, feeling anxious. After all, he had recommended Li Che for the Special Guest Scholar Examination, and if Li Che succeeded, he would gain merit and a favor from Li Che, which was of utmost importance!
A talented Sacred Falcon Demigod with a high chance of becoming a Sacred Falcon Master in the future, his favor was indeed invaluable.
The Sacred Turtle, Xuan Gui, was leisurely floating, wanting to return. Although he could roam the netherworld, he didn't enjoy it.
However, the Grand Supervisor on his back kept him lingering, so he could only continue drifting slowly.
Amidst the smoke, the Grand Supervisor chuckled softly.
"Not bad..."
"Lending you a helping hand."
The Grand Supervisor patted the Sacred Turtle's shell.
Xuan Gui's eyes lit up, and he surged forward, breaking through the barrier between the netherworld and reality, entering the real world and returning to the ninth level.
Boom!!!
The Grand Supervisor sat atop Xuan Gui's back, surrounded by white mist. As he appeared, the smoke seemed to be halved, revealing his wildly dancing black hair and... those Double Pupils!
When the Double Pupils opened, they struck like a heavy hammer, pounding down and causing the spirit of the entire ninth level to explode in that instant.
It was like a giant stone thrown into a lake, causing a huge splash!
As Li Che was in the final stages of carving the Divine Carving, sculpting the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupils, he felt the chisel in his hand become incredibly heavy at that moment!
Carving those Double Pupils...
...became incredibly difficult.
Li Che's eyes narrowed, sensing the terrifying gaze and attention from the ninth level, causing the air to seem frozen.
What was the Grand Supervisor doing?!
Did he not want Li Che to succeed in his carving?!
At this moment, not only Li Che but also the two Deputy Supervisors, Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen, showed confusion and bewilderment.
The Grand Supervisor was increasing the difficulty for Li Che!
They were all too aware of the terrifying pressure and oppression emanating from the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupils.
If Li Che could withstand this pressure and complete the Double Pupil carving, capturing the Grand Supervisor's Divine Will...
...his Divine Carving skills would likely qualify him to challenge the Sacred Falcon Master!
"Grand Supervisor, you're aiding Li, the Guest Scholar!"
"If Li can withstand this pressure and complete the carving, capturing your Divine Will..."
Fang Shangzhen spoke, suddenly understanding the Grand Supervisor's intention.
"But it's difficult... The oppressive might of the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupils is immense. If he can't bear it..."
"...Li's carving will surely fail!"
"Then this Special Guest Scholar Examination will be considered a failure."
"According to the rules, if he fails, Li won't be eligible to attempt any Guest Scholar Examination for the next five years."
Yue Taofu explained.
Therefore...
The Grand Supervisor's aid to Li Che was a double-edged sword.
"The Grand Supervisor left room for maneuver, let's see how Li chooses... He has the option to refuse."
Fang Shangzhen said.
The three of them turned their gaze back to Li Che.
To their surprise, Li Che faced the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupil gaze without fear, even seeming excited as he raised his head, his black hair dancing wildly, his eyes shining with a brilliant golden light, colliding with the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupil gaze!
The chisel in his hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, resumed its descent!
Li Che had made his choice!
Knowing the tiger lurked in the mountains, he still ventured forth!
Slash!
Whoosh!
Li Che struggled to wield the chisel, but the Divine Craft Dao Fruit in his chest cavity was going wild, as if electric currents were coursing through his entire body.
The immense pressure Li Che had been enduring gradually dissipated like a gentle spring breeze.
Chisel!
Carve!
Wood shavings fell, and the piercing screeching sound was unbearable.
Clang!
As the final chisel stroke fell, the entire spirit of the ninth level surged towards the Divine Carving!
"It's done!"
...
...
Crack! Crack!
In the sky above the Second City of Divine Capital!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, the early spring thunder rumbling.
Dark clouds piled up, and the sudden flash of lightning resembled a dragon, slithering out from behind the clouds, like a probing dragon's head, illuminating a dazzling brilliance.
The entire Second City's spirit was suddenly stirred, like invisible waves rising and spreading in all directions.
Rain poured down, splashing and exploding on the umbrella's surface.
Su Yunji held her skirt and sheltered under an oil-paper umbrella, bending her delicate waist to shield the Third Prince, Lu Litiang, from the rain as he exited the Heaven Divination Treasury Tower.
However, just as Lu Litiang was about to board the luxurious carriage.
Suddenly, his mind stirred, and he turned to look at the Heaven Divination Treasury Tower.
In that instant—
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the Heaven Divination Treasury Tower and the Divine Dragon Pearl guarded by the Eight Dragons!
The Third Prince stared intently.
Standing by the Third Prince's side, the Purple Robe Temple Guardian, Han Sixi, had a sudden flash of light in her eyes.
"Divine Will!"
"The Grand Supervisor's..."
"Divine Will!"
Han Sixi's voice was sharp.
"Someone has managed to mimic and carve out the Grand Supervisor's Divine Will?!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince, Lu Litiang, trembled. He couldn't help but think of Li Che, that man in the ink-black robe who had come to the Heaven Divination Treasury Tower to participate in the Special Guest Scholar Examination.
Could it be...
That the Grand Supervisor's Divine Will... was carved by this man?!
Boom!
Just as the Third Prince's thoughts were in turmoil, the Sacred Blood Dragon Horse pulling the carriage let out a terrified neigh, seemingly panicked, its legs going soft as it knelt and prostrated itself on the ground.
The Double Pupils' Divine Might, all demons bow!
"It's said that the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupils have an innate control and transformation, just like the Sacred Blood Dragon Horse's transformation.
"It's not just the manifestation of the Divine Capital's emphasis on the group could provide a perspective where the renewal and transformation of items, seeing them as not just physical changes but also a collective identity, a new lease on life, a rebirth."
The three of them continued to observe Li Che.
Li Che, facing the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupil gaze, remained unafraid, even excited, his black hair dancing wildly, his eyes shining with a brilliant golden light, truly colliding with the Grand Supervisor's gaze!
The chisel in his hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, resumed its descent!
Li Che had made his choice!
Boom!
On the treasure orb, a brilliant light shone!
In an instant—
A massive light and shadow emerged from the radiance emanating from the treasure orb!
The Sacred Turtle carried the Grand Supervisor, and the Double Pupil appeared amidst the swirling white mist.
Divine Will soared, and the Four Virtues Divinity stirred and swirled, gathering towards the Treasure Tower like a funnel.
The Grand Supervisor, unperturbed in the face of danger, exuded a formidable aura with his Double Pupil.
The Sacred Turtle was struck by thunder, causing it to panic and twist its mouth...
It was so lifelike!
So vivid!
...
...
Lotus Pavilion.
Lu Chi dried himself off from the rain and sat across from the National Tutor, Xie Yunshen, who was dressed in plain clothes. He listened intently to the National Tutor's teachings.
Xie Yunshen's eyes were kind, imparting his knowledge and wisdom to Lu Chi.
"Your Highness, if you want to compete, then give it your all..."
"Failure is not to be feared, but rather the lack of courage to even try."
Lu Chi's face was resolute as he listened attentively.
Suddenly, Xie Yunshen narrowed his eyes, and two figures appeared beside him in an instant—Tian Can Di Que and Di Que, one tall and slender, the other short and stout, both with varying degrees of deformities.
They gazed towards the direction of the Heaven Divination Bureau Treasury Tower...
The Sacred Turtle carrying the Double Pupil! The massive Four Virtues Divinity formed a scene that almost everyone in the three cities of the Divine Capital could see. Many felt their souls tremble just by looking into those Double Pupils.
"That's... the Grand Supervisor's Divine Eye Pupil?"
Di Que widened one eye, gasped, and admired it with envy.
The National Tutor, Xie Yunshen, dressed in plain clothes, had sparkling eyes: "This is the manifestation of the Divine Carving's Divine Will... Such Divine Will, a masterpiece of the Demigod's Apex!"
"Impressive."
Xie Yunshen stroked his beard and sighed lightly.
"The Divine Carving Demigod Li Che... After the Thousand-Stranded, Two-Hearted Great Sage's Divine Carving, another masterpiece, 'Sacred Turtle Carrying the Double Pupil,' is capable of capturing the Grand Supervisor's Divine Eye Pupil..."
"Amazing!"
"Today, the Heaven Divination Bureau welcomes another Distinguished Guest Scholar!"
...
...
Divine Capital, First City.
Heavy rain poured down.
In the majestic and splendid palace complex, where the divine light shimmered, the corridors were filled with howling winds, and white jade railings stretched as far as the eye could see.
A ten-meter-tall divine temple's crimson gate stood wide open.
A majestic figure sat on a golden dragon throne, its eyes opening and closing with authority, as imposing as a collapsing mountain.
Dressed in golden-threaded robes, his sleeves fluttered, and golden light shone.
With a single glance, he saw through the layers of the heavenly canopy, gazing at the falling rain.
He witnessed the 'Sacred Turtle Carrying the Double Pupil' floating above the Second City's Heaven Divination Bureau Treasury Tower, a masterpiece of the Demigod's Apex, just a hair's breadth from reaching the Master Carver Divine Carving's Demigod's Apex!
The peerless authority in his eyes seemed to meet the gaze of those overlapping Divine Will-filled Double Pupils!
"The Grand Supervisor of the Heaven Divination Bureau... Gongtu Guigu..."
"The Divine Eye Pupil can glimpse the Heavenly Providence."
"The Divine Pole Emerges, Heaven and Earth Tremble..."
He murmured softly, hiss like thunder.
Finally, he sighed.
"The Heaven Divination Bureau..."
"It is no longer my Heaven Divination Bureau."
The figure seated on the Nine Dragon Golden Throne slowly stood up, and as he did, it seemed as if the entire First City's Four Virtues Divinity was boiling and leaping.
"But I..."
"Do not believe in fate!"
...
...
Eight-Angle Overhanging Dew Heaven Divination Treasure Tower.
Ninth Floor.
The raging wind suddenly ceased, and the turbulent currents calmed.
The Sacred Turtle lay on the ground, and the Grand Supervisor, seated calmly on its back, seemed to have a pair of curious eyes that peered through the white mist and landed on the black-robed youth who had finished carving.
At the edge of the ninth floor.
Yue Taofu, Fang Shangzhen, and Hong Shifo witnessed the lack of movement and decided to slowly approach.
However, as soon as they took a step, the Grand Supervisor seated on the Sacred Turtle's back slowly raised his hand and pointed at them lightly.
The three of them felt an invisible barrier separating them, preventing them from even lifting their feet.
Yue Taofu and the others immediately understood the Grand Supervisor's intention.
After bowing and saluting, they quietly retreated to the edge of the ninth floor.
Their minds were filled with the Grand Supervisor's meaning.
Their gazes naturally fell upon Li Che, their eyes filled with surprise, never expecting... Li Che to receive such attention from the Grand Supervisor!
And Li Che, standing in the center of the ninth floor, held the Divine Carving in his) hands.
The sharp Divine Tool Chisel, spewing forth thunderous light, was pinned to the Divine Carving, its tip piercing the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupil.
The Four Virtues Divinity between heaven and earth converged into the Divine Carving, gradually returning to tranquility.
Only the sound of the rain pounding against the tower remained.
Li Che clenched the chisel.
Standing in place, a gentle breeze brushed against his body, and in his eyes, countless images flashed, his mind filled with various gleaming blades, as if, in an instant, he was continuously carving one Divine Carving after another.
The storm gathered and swirled!
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
Li Che stood with closed eyes, his breath still.
Unmoving, everyone on the ninth floor of the Heaven Divination Bureau Treasury Tower was also unmoving, their gazes fixed upon him, seemingly marveling at and sensing the changes in him!
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps a single breath or perhaps hundreds of breaths.
Li Che's chisel slowly left the Grand Supervisor's Double Pupil on the Divine Carving, and a piece of emerald wood shavings fell in the wind.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, and in them, there was clarity.
There was a kind of penetrating clarity.
Vaguely...
On the ink-black pupils, golden smoke flowed, and it seemed as if a second pair of pupils overlapped!
As if a second Double Pupil was born!
And in the moment the chisel was lowered, the Divine Carving flashed with flowing light.
Li Che put down the Divine Carving.
His black robe fluttered, and his body was vigorous.
His entire being exuded a powerful Four Virtues Divinity, like a budding lotus slowly unfurling! In his chest, the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit that had been beating like a war drum slowly returned to tranquility...
As if beating to the extreme, a streak of flowing light slowly trickled out from the Dao Fruit.
Like water, like smoke, like a gentle breeze.
Like the silent guidance of the Great Dao.
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Craft (LV6, 0%)]
