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

Gongshu Jingjun took a deep breath.

Tang Xiejia’s eyes, however, burned with intensity as he stared intently, his fists clenched tightly.

The talent for Divine Sculptures could reflect in mechanical aptitude as well, which explained why Tang Sanjia held Li Che in such high regard—even entrusting Li Che with the Tang Family’s treasured Mechanical Techniques.

Perhaps Li Che truly possessed the ability to repair that particular Mechanical Beast?

Tang Sanjia’s judgment… truly remarkable. At the very least, far superior to Tang Xiejia’s, who had chosen a divergent path. Tang Xiejia had invested less in Mechanical Techniques, channeling most of his focus into Martial Path cultivation.

In the distance—

Behind a chessboard, Imperial Astronomical Observatory Inspector Hong Shifu squinted his eyes, the peculiar gleam in his gaze now intensified to its utmost degree.

The moment the rough blank had taken form, Mortal Wood had shed its mortal essence.

This indicated that Li Che’s Divine Sculpture Technique had undoubtedly reached the threshold of Divine Sculpture Half-Saint, demonstrating the miraculous ability to transform stone into gold!

Hong Shifu stroked his beard, narrowing his eyes: “This young man… he’s only twenty-four years old, and yet his Divine Sculpture talent… can be this extraordinary?”

Divine Sculpture, Divine Pill, Divine Talisman, and Divine Weapon—the four divine paths—all required innate talent to excel.

Among them, the Divine Sculpture Path demanded the most talent, involving mastery of an ethereal aura and meticulous expertise honed to perfection.

This was why the number of Divine Pill Half-Saints and Divine Talisman Half-Saints exceeded the count of Divine Sculpture Half-Saints.

The elusive aura, akin to misty clouds, remained incredibly difficult to capture and hold.

Yet in truth, at the Holy Hand and Half-Saint levels, breaking through any of the divine paths was exceedingly challenging, demanding that one take their craft to its utmost pinnacle. Whether Divine Pill Half-Saint or Divine Talisman Half-Saint… the difficulty in achieving breakthroughs was by no means less than that of Divine Sculpture Half-Saints.

However, compared to high-level Divine Sculpture Masters, Divine Pill Masters and Divine Talisman Masters existed in higher frequency.
