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

Chapter 707 - 236: With a Strike of the Demon Apeʼs Staff, Illusions Shatter and the Divine Talisman Manifests as Clouds to Supress the Explosive You Liqing [Seeking Monthly Tickets]_4

Surrounding them, Woodcarving Masters were promoting and praising his performance in the Mysterious Temple.

”Many of you have not entered the Mysterious Temple; therefore, you might not know that Master Suʼs performance can truly be described as unparalleled...”

”As soon as this temple god statue was finished, a sudden tide of mysterious fog arose from the Mysterious Temple, as if a plethora of Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses and evil strange creatures were attracted by Master Suʼs Divine Sculpture!”

”With the onset of the mysterious fog, the concentration of Divinity within the Strange Que has thickened by at least thirty percent! We were almost suffocating!”

Each of the Woodcarving Masters was emotionally moved.

Certainly, they included a fair bit of artistic hyperbole, but such flattery was delightful to Su Huaimingʼs heart.

Pleasing words, he enjoyed hearing.

”This time at the Divine Carving Ridge Elder assessment, Master Su has got it secured, he is bound to surpass the past!”

”No, no, you exaggerate... The clash of Godʼs Intent has not yet produced a result, it is too early to draw such a conclusion.”

Su Huaiming stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

He was holding the Divine Sculpture of the Two-Minded Great Saint, with waves of Divinity undulating boldly.

Elsewhere.

Lu Yao was dragging Tang Ren along; Tang Ren, unable to bear Su Huaimingʼs smugness, was grinding his teeth in frustration.

”My Uncle Che hasnʼt come out yet! He is Xi Xiʼs father, he is sure to win!”

Lu Yao was speechless: ”This gentleman is a Six Divisions upper Woodcarving Master and a First-Class Guest Official of the Qintian Observatory! His status is extremely revered, and he has devoted more than sixty years to researching Divine Carving Techniques, what makes you think your Uncle Che is sure to win?”

”Because he is Xi Xiʼs daddy!”

Tang Ren said.

Lu Yao rolled his eyes, not wanting to argue with a worshipful mind.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Gongshu Jingjun floated in with Li Che.

The entire Guest Hall suddenly grew quiet; everyone knew the results were imminent.

Last to carve the Divine Sculpture was the Woodcarving Master; next up was the clash of the Divine Sculptureʼs Godʼs Intent...

The clash of Godʼs Intent was simple and brutal.

Whose Divine Sculpture contained the mightier Godʼs Intent signified a higher grade for that Divine Sculpture, and thus the victor.

And as for the clash of Divine Sculptures...

For every Divine Sculpture Master, it was an extremely interesting affair.

Just like cricket fighting...

Who doesnʼt want to see a victor emerge, and who doesnʼt wish to see which mighty cricket can fight till the end?

Outside the Guest Hall.

An old man with completely white hair was tremblingly walking over.

His body was layered in crane-like wrinkles, resembling a walking dead tree.

”Elder Sun.”

Gongshu Jingjun greeted him with a smile.

”Ridge Master, my Divine Sculpture is here...”

Elder Sun smiled; he was too old, on the brink of decline, and even though he once was a mighty Divine Cultivator and Martial Artist, when life reaches its end, it succumbs to decay.

Li Che looked at this Elder Sun, his eyes somewhat vacant.

Is this...

The consequence of not achieving longevity?

To grow so old in the end, with a body laden with the smell of decay, and a sense of despair about to fall into death.

Li Cheʼs gaze grew focused, his eyelids dropped, and a slight ripple stirred in his heart.

Longevity...

The desire in Li Cheʼs heart for longevity suddenly intensified.

He must pursue it with his daughter, with his wife...

Only with longevity in this world, can one escape loneliness.

The Divine Sculpture given by Elder Sun was also a Divine Sculpture of the Two-Minded Great Saint.

Clearly, it was inspired after entering the Mysterious Temple and observing the Temple God.

The charm was restrained, the craftsmanship was exceedingly exquisite, every strand of the monkeyʼs hair was vividly depicted, like the true temple god statue emerging into being.

After all, he was a senior who had spent many years carving Divine Sculptures.

His skills were genuinely formidable.

Even Li Che had to admit it.

Gongshu Jingjun took the Divine Sculpture from Elder Sun and then turned to look at the other Woodcarving Masters in the Guest Hall.

These Woodcarving Masters were all seated on Taishi Chairs, their eyes blazing.
