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

Crack, crack—!

Lightning flashes and thunder roars, spring thunder rolls!

In the dense black clouds, sudden lightning bursts forth, like dragons and serpents surging, occasionally revealing itself, illuminating with brilliant radiance!

The entire Divine Carving Ridge seems to be shrouded in thick fog, within which an eerie divinity churns, as if another world has been transported to this realm!

It feels as though two worlds have connected!

Inside Divine Carving Ridge.

Within the workshop belonging exclusively to the elders.

A terrifying explosion sounded, a crisp noise that startled everyone's heart into a sudden tremor.

Many people, stunned and bewildered, looked in shock at Li Che, who seemed to have suddenly gone mad with rage, smashed the statue with a slap, causing countless scattered wood fragments to erupt!

Time appears to freeze at this moment, every shattered splinter paused in the air, as if falling in slow motion.

The cultivators with weaker cultivation naturally sensed nothing, failing to notice the changes that occurred on the wood carving after Li Che shattered it with a single blow.

However, the powerful divine cultivators, with their acute perception, connected with heaven and earth and birthed the Heaven and Earth Soul, greatly enhancing their ability to probe.

The changes on the broken wood fragments, captured by the Heaven and Earth Soul, were clearly reflected in their minds.

Gongshu Jingjun suddenly stood up from his chair, his entire body emanating a divinity that seemed difficult to suppress.

Even when Elder Sun had carved the divine sculpture imbued with the essence of the Saint Hand, he wasn't this surprised.

"How is this possible?"

"How can it be like this!"

Gongshu Jingjun, as a divine fetus practitioner, powerful beyond measure, his Heaven and Earth Soul trembled, meticulously probing and observing the Two-Minded Great Sage within the exploded wood fragments!

The surprise on his face grew more intense!

Apart from Gongshu Jingjun, Inner Sect Great Elder Fang Hanshu and Third Elder Ding Zi were equally astonished.

The two also being divine fetus practitioners, naturally sensed it too.

"So... the divine sculpture's shattering was intentional!"

"He intentionally caused the divine sculpture to crack?"

Ding Zi was a gentle woman, although a divine fetus practitioner, amongst the many divine fetus practitioners of Qian Yuan Divine Sect, she wasn't very conspicuous, very gentle and low-key, with a warm and calm nature, not prone to outbursts.

She even had less presence than Fourth Elder Ji Heshan.

But at this moment, the Heaven and Earth Soul she released was exceptionally fierce, drawing the attention of countless cultivators.

Fang Hanshu nodded, stroking his fine beard: "Indeed, it seems to be a type of divine sculpting skill."

"Marvelous, ghostly axe divine skill!"

Fang Hanshu rarely praised anyone. As the Inner Sect Great Elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, he was always very cautious and rarely complimented anyone within the Divine Sect Inner Gate.

In fact, due to being a scholar, he was more critical, liking to find faults.

Yet, this time, even Fang Hanshu couldn't help but express a remark of admiration.

Li Che's technique... he truly did not foresee it!

The divine sculpture, turned out to be sculpted this way!

Truly eye-opening, Fang Hanshu was very curious about how Li Che accomplished it!

On the other side.

Supervisor Hong Shifu, whose eyes were almost squinted shut, abruptly opened them wide, for the first time showing a hint of surprise.

To stir up such turmoil in the heart of someone of his level.

Indeed, this Fifth Elder of Divine Carving Ridge... does have something special.

He couldn't help but look toward Lv Taibai, who was calmly seated in the Taishi Chair far away.

Did he know already?

Lv Taibai... did he already know that this Li Che could find a way to break through the predicament?

Simultaneously.

Sect Master's wife beside Lv Taibai widened her eyes, looking at Li Che who seemed to have vented his anger by smashing the wood carving, her mind seemed to have stalled for a moment.

Xi Xi was also the same as the Sect Master's wife, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.

As expected of Xi Xi's father, his temper is indeed irritable!

Xi Xi's temper is indeed learned from her father!

Xi Xi found a fitting reason for her occasional urge to take out the Immortal Blood Fire Bodhi Gatling "da-da-da" to celebrate with fireworks.

Lv Taibai, in reality, had a heart not as calm as he appeared.

In the first instance when cracks appeared on Li Che's carved wood sculpture, his heart indeed had a fluctuation.

However, because Lv Taibai had already guessed about Li Che's background, and seeing that Li Che did not stop his actions despite the divine sculpture developing cracks, the composure in facing changes led him to suspicion.

With the probing of the Heaven and Earth Soul, sure enough, Li Che was hiding something.

"Madam, it seems... you are indeed going to lose."

Lv Taibai chuckled.

Sect Master's wife Xuan Qisha was stunned: "His mindset exploded, he smashed the sculpture... Wait!"

Xuan Qisha wasn't foolish, being a Divine Talisman Half-Saint, her perception wasn't weak either.

Soon, she discovered, atop those shattered wood sculpting pieces, the vivid Twin Heart Great Saint Temple Divine Statue!

Every single piece was intricately carved!

"Hiss—!!!"

"This... this..."

Sect Master's wife Xuan Qisha was bewildered.

Could it really be like this?

She thought Li Che's mindset had exploded, even prepared how to comfort Xi Xi's father.

But now, you tell her Xi Xi's father just started getting into the zone?

"Husband, what's he trying to do?"

Xuan Qisha turned her head to Lv Taibai, her large eyes blinking.

Lv Taibai's silver hair danced in the gentle breeze, he smiled warmly: "Watch and see."

What Li Che intends to do...

How could he know?

However, Lv Taibai had long been accustomed to displaying a mysterious and all-knowing demeanor before his wife; anyway... let the lady's imagination run wild.
