Chapter 932: Chapter 285: Mysterious Fog Reveals Temple God Carving, Wood Carving Cracks and Elder Li Completely Goes Mad [Request for Monthly Ticket]_5

”Ah... ah...”

”Cracked, cracked?!”

Zhou Tianshui’s heart ached to the point of being unable to breathe, his eyes filled with agony.

It was a pain and despair only understood by a Divine Sculpture Master, knowing a perfect divine sculpture was about to be born, yet... at the final moment, an unexpected mishap occurred.

The feeling was like a knife slicing through his flesh!

Yun Haiyang’s face was also twisted with pain, it failed...

The appearance of a crack on the divine sculpture meant a flaw, signifying this sculpture could never become a Half-Saint Divine Sculpture.

Perhaps Li Che might save it with exquisite technique, but the sculpture’s grade would plummet.

No hope left, none at all...

It’s not just these two Divine Sculpture Masters.

Around them, many Divine Sculpture Masters and Wood Carvers at Divine Carving Ridge revealed expressions of regret.

The more perfect the performance before, the more shocking the mistake at the end.

Some Wood Carvers couldn’t restrain their emotions, disregarding the quiet atmosphere of carving, letting out long sighs and wails.

Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia were also stunned, a bit dazed.

”Failed?”

”Seems like it failed... with cracks in the wood carving, it can’t be saved.”

Gongshu Jingjun leaned back in his chair, sighing.

Tang Xiejia shook his head.

”What a pity...”

Too ambitious.

From Li Che’s previous carving methods and techniques, Hong Shifu felt Li Che had the ability to achieve Half-Saint Divine Sculpture.

Unfortunately, Li Che was too ambitious, choosing mortal wood as the material.

While bearing the divinity, the material’s flaws were exposed...

”Such a pity, what a pity... it cracked!”

Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha covered her exquisite head, tactically hugging it.

She felt no joy or schadenfreude, just regret.

Everyone here was technical.

Just like her past struggles to reach Divine Talisman Half-Saint level, it’s just a stroke, countless failures made her nearly numb.

And now, looking at Li Che, she seemed to see her former self.

Xi Xi was dumbfounded, everyone’s reaction...

Made Xi Xi’s heart leap to her throat involuntarily.

”Ah? Is Daddy going to fail?!”

Xi Xi’s big eyes suddenly showed a hint of worry.

Lv Taibai tousled Xi Xi’s head.

”Who said your Daddy’s going to fail? It’s... just the beginning.”

Lv Taibai said with a smile.

Xuan Qisha frowned: ”I may not understand divine sculpture, but Li Che’s carved wood is cracked, that’s an irreparable flaw...”

”Like when I’m painting talismans, if the paper cracks... can it succeed?”

Xuan Qisha looked at Lv Taibai, with no regard for his fifth place on the Great God List: ”You’re just a sword player, what do you know about divine sculpture!”

Lv Taibai was somewhat helpless.

The wife he married, he must cherish, being criticized is deserved...

”My dear wife... don’t be impatient.”

Xuan Qisha crossed her arms, snorted once, then looked back at the direction where Li Che was carving the divine sculpture.

She wanted to see how Li Che would rescue it!

...

...

Li Che’s face remained calm; when the crack appeared on the Two-Mind Great Saint statue, it didn’t stir any ripples in his heart.

Because...

He intended for this crack to appear!

Elder Sun could carve a divine sculpture from mortal wood, and it could bear mighty divinity without cracking, so how could Li Che with [Immortal Artisan] Dao Fruit not achieve this?

The reason for the cracking was entirely the Divine Sculpture Master’s deliberate act.

Disregarding the cracks, Li Che’s engraving knife didn’t pause, and the previously steady pace abruptly changed, accelerating to the extreme, in a flash, the hand holding the engraving knife flickered with countless afterimages!

Bang bang bang bang—

Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit throbbed wildly!

Snap—!

A second crack appeared on the wood carving.

Li Che was unbothered, continuing to carve.

Snap—!

Again, a cracking sound emerged, seeming to tremble everyone’s souls.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth crack...

The number of cracks increased.

The floating divinity in Divine Carving Ridge didn’t stop; it continued to madly pour into the wood carving.

The eyes of the Two-Mind Great Saint Temple God Sculpture began to glimmer with golden light!

Yet the dense cracks made the entire statue look ghastly.

Supervisor Hong Shifu, bearing a chessboard, gazed deeply at the expanding cracks, yet felt no divinity leaking from them...

Suddenly.
