Chapter 2253 - 561: Hundred Feet Heavenly King Origin Seizes 70 Feet, Dimensional Reduction Strike from Immortal Worker Seven Transfigurations [Monthly Ticket Requested]_3

If there really is a requirement for the carving knife, Li Che can directly take out the three-point double-edged knife and use it as a carving tool.

The three-point double-edged knife, although this divine weapon has the rank of the Three Pure Ones, its origin is extraordinary.

The Three-eyed Miao Dao Xiansheng Zhenjun is naturally from the same source as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, both exceptional in their own right.

However, nowadays, the Mysterious Temple of the Three-eyed Miao Dao Xiansheng Zhenjun still stands steadily in the human world, while the Third Crown Prince and Equalling Heaven have undergone different experiences.

Li Che’s movements are neither hurried nor dazzling, he did not flaunt his divine weapon carving knife, contrasting with the other Divine Carvers who initiated grand gestures.

His gaze withdrew from the Heavenly King Origin.

"This Nirvana Heavenly King walks the flame Great Dao Heaven and Earth Origin..."

Li Che shook his head slightly, this Nirvana King, although having walked the Nine Netherworld Life and Death Road, is unlikely to have the opportunity to become immortal in this life.

Because, in this era, an immortal has already taken the flame Great Dao Heaven and Earth Origin path.

That immortal being is the Old Lord.

Therefore, the path of this Nirvana Heavenly King is completely blocked.

"Two tigers can’t coexist on one mountain, nor can two immortals emerge from one path."

"Perhaps, precisely because of this, the Nirvana Heavenly King sacrifices his Heaven and Earth Origin to support Ji Shaohao, the Young Emperor... it’s also a kind of stance."

Li Che shook his head slightly.

Setting aside these thoughts, his mind began to outline the method of carving.

Li Che slowly closed his eyes, within the inner scene of the Mud Pill, the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart reverberated, bouncing without pause.

Through sensing the Heaven and Earth Origin, the image of the Heavenly King is constructed in his mind.

Then, Li Che opened his eyes, exhaled deeply, and grasped the ordinary carving knife, ready to begin carving.

Meanwhile, at the palace gathering, most divine sculptors had already begun to work.

Buzz—

Even the most ordinary carving knife, upon touching the Fire Mulberry Wood, emitted brilliant rays of light.

Rumble—!

The sharp blade, as it sliced into the Fire Mulberry Wood, seemed to ignite countless sparks, dazzling to the extreme!

The entire group of palaces, within each palace, erupted in flames.

Ji Shaohao and the Great Immortal Carver Zhao Yuan sat within the central palace, surveying the scene from a superior vantage point.

Immortal Zhao Yuan, as a Great Immortal Carver, possesses considerable cultivation, being a Nirvana King and having traversed the later stages of the Nine Netherworld Life and Death Road, not far from reaching its end and ascending to the Heavenly King Realm.

Coupled with his craftsmanship as a Great Immortal Carver, his status within the Dark Heavenly Court is not low.

Scanning the entire venue, a hint of disappointment crossed Zhao Yuan’s face.

"Young Emperor, to be honest, in the divine carving path, our Dark Heavenly Court indeed pales in comparison to Black Sumeru and the Deceit Demon Cave..."

"Winning a significant number of spots in the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference is exceedingly difficult."

Zhao Yuan sighed.

Ji Shaohao was equally helpless: "There’s no helping it, the Black Sumeru Buddha Sculpture is renowned, with Buddha’s teachings, golden body statues are erected everywhere in the Buddha Land."

"Moreover, one of the two emperors of the Deceit Demon Cave, Wa Huang, has reached the pinnacle in the path of sculpture."

"Our Dark Heavenly Court’s divine sculpture path lags behind at the immortal level, inherently inferior. Yet the Heaven-reaching Divine Pill is crucial this time; this Heaven-reaching Immortal is extraordinarily renowned, and crafting the divine pill might help me easily breach the barriers of Heaven and Earth Will, condensing my own Heaven and Earth Origin..."

Ji Shaohao’s gaze turned deep: "The Daughter of Prison Lotus has ascended to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the eighth divine tide may end at any moment..."

"I have no time left, I must seize the opportunity to achieve immortality..."

"Thus, I must secure a share of the Heaven-reaching Divine Pill."

Ji Shaohao hadn’t expected the sense of urgency to arrive so swiftly.

According to experience from previous lives, the ascension of the Daughter of Prison Lotus signifies the onset of slaughter, soon immortals will face disaster, and likewise, the divine tide shall fall silent...

Therefore, Ji Shaohao was very anxious.

Not only Ji Shaohao, but also Fu Shaosi, Shi Shaokya, and the Young Emperor of the Two Saints Ancient Village are equally urgent.

In the midst of their casual conversation.

A sudden explosion erupted within a palace.

A burst of flame surged and exploded like tidal waves!

The Fire Mulberry Wood blasted open, as a Wood Carving Saint, attempting to resonate with the Heavenly King Origin, failed to contain the Origin Power, causing a direct sculpting explosion.

This commotion caught the attention of many divine sculptors.

And, as if setting a precedent, sporadic explosions of fire occurred within the group of palaces, like spectacular fireworks.

Every burst of fireworks meant the divine sculptors failed in sculpting, causing the Fire Mulberry Wood to be completely damaged, no longer fit for further carving.

Li Che glanced once, then withdrew his gaze, indifferent to such occurrences.

How can the Heaven and Earth Origin be easily resonated with?

It’s inherently a domineering force, incompatible with the Heaven and Earth Will of this world, once infused into the wood sculpture, if not suppressed, it will explode internally and externally.

Therefore, in this wood carving, suppressing the Origin within the process of resonating during the carving is key.

And this is only the first hurdle to face in the selection.

As all the sculptors participating in the selection have to confront this trial.

Because, in outlining a rough form on the Fire Mulberry Wood, it’s essential to build a resonating connection with the Heavenly King’s Heaven and Earth Origin.

...

...

The carving knife flickered with firelight, sharply slicing off a piece of Fire Mulberry Wood shavings, like burning embers, floating and dancing wildly in the air.

Within Li Che’s palace, only one Divine Sculpture Master remained, persevering to this point.
