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

Chapter 2271: The Great Fortune of the Eight-Leaf Dao Yun Divine Crystal, Will the Ruyi Stick Awaken the Great Sage Equalling Heaven? [Monthly Ticket Request]

“The skill of the Divine Sculpture Immortal is too difficult, ultimately it depends on talent. Without enough talent, one might squander a lifetime and still achieve nothing.”

“As a humble monk, my talent in the art of divine sculpting is limited. I intend to make use of my limited talent at this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference.”

Shijia clasped his palms together, speaking gently.

Ji Shaohao, however, let out a light hum.

If Shijia takes action personally, among the eighty-one Divine Sculpture Immortals forming the array, he would surely have a spot. It seems Shijia is certain to obtain a Qi Tian Divine Pill!

This increased the pressure on Ji Shaohao immensely.

Shijia smiled, his gaze sweeping over the Divine Sculpture Immortals and Divine Sculpture Hands beside Ji Shaohao.

He nodded respectfully towards Divine Sculpture Immortal Zhao Yuan, who responded with a smile.

A Young Emperor, even someone like Zhao Yuan, a Divine Sculpture Immortal, would not want to offend. After all, a Young Emperor has numerous powerful figures backing him.

After meeting Zhao Yuan, Shijia’s gaze continued and paused slightly when it landed on Li Che.

In addition, he noticed Xi Xi, who was beside Li Che and wearing a mask.

Xi Xi was wearing the Little Bull Demon Mask this time, which Li Che had modified and altered in appearance, so it was different from their last meeting.

Moreover, Xi Xi’s aura was completely concealed by Li Che, so Shijia paused with some subtle suspicion in his heart, but didn’t think much of it.

He did take an extra look at Li Che, because based on the positioning among the Divine Sculpture Hands, this Divine Sculpture Hand seemed to hold significant importance to Ji Shaohao!

“Everyone, let’s go. Taixu Heaven is a domain governed by my Dark Heavenly Court. As you are here, I am somewhat of a host.”

Ji Shaohao smiled, adjusting his mindset. With eighty-one spots, surely his ten Divine Sculpture Hands could secure at least one?

Leading the group, he was the first to step off the teleportation platform, heading towards the direction of Sky-covering Palace City.

Shijia and Fu Shaosi exchanged looks, with a strong sense of competition in their eyes, and both also proceeded together towards the enormous Sky-covering Palace City.

Li Che held Xi Xi’s hand, with Little Su da entwining Xi Xi’s neck.

From the teleportation platform of Taixu Heaven to Sky-covering Palace City, there was a gigantic aerial corridor, adorned with intricate statues of deities. Each statue was infused with and exuded rich divinity.

“This is… Dao Essence God Crystal?!”

Xi Xi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

These statues were entirely carved out of Dao Essence God Crystals!

Although they were not high-quality six-leaf or seven-leaf Dao Essence God Crystals, most were three-leaf Dao Essence God Crystals, with abundant divinity and Great Dao essence intertwined continuously.

Just walking on the corridor gave a person an uncontrollable urge to siphon the divinity of heaven and earth.

“Such extravagance.”

Li Che couldn’t help but comment.

The stark contrast was indeed very striking.

The resources of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are completely under the control of the Three Great Gods Factions, except for the Three Pure Ancient Village which lives a slightly better life with some resources. The Four Imperials and Five Elders Ancient Villages generally live very difficult lives.

Forget about Dao Essence God Crystals; even Divinity Crystals are precious resources.

For resources, one even has to risk their life to participate in a Thousand Village Divine Gambling Battle, wagering life for a chance at resources.

In the end, the resources gained might just be a few six or seven-leaf Dao Essence God Crystals!

Resources are occupied by a few powerful forces, so it’s nothing but wishful thinking for subordinate forces to live well.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are actually more extreme compared to the human world.

Even if there are Path-Cutting Divine Spirits with strong combat power, it proves useless. These ancient villages can produce Path-Cutting Divine Spirits due to generations of resource accumulation.

Except for the Three Great and Two Holy Ancient Villages which have the qualification to contend and negotiate with the Three Great Gods Factions.

The ancient clans in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have no competitiveness at all.

According to Li Che’s understanding, the ancient clan was originally the indigenous people of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, while the powerhouses of the Three Great Gods Factions were outsiders, some being ascenders from the human world and others rising during successive Divine Tides.

Of course, the reason the Gods Factions can subdue numerous ancient clan villages and monopolize all resources is inextricably linked to the Immortal Divine Spirits within the Three Great Gods Factions.

Immortal Divine Spirits are undying and imperishable. According to records from ancient books Li Che read at Tuoba Lian’s, all the Heavenly Immortals were not native beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Though there are later cultivators achieving immortality, they are merely Earth Immortals.

Li Che once curiously asked Tuoba Lian where these Heavenly Immortals came from if they were not from this world.

But Tuoba Lian couldn’t say.

Rumble—

The city gates rumbled and slowly opened, as if an extremely intense scorching atmosphere spewed out—a terrifying Earth Vein Fire that roamed beneath the ground!

It seemed that the entirety of Taixu Heaven’s Earth Vein Fire was gathered here, extremely terrifying, and if ignited, enough to destroy heaven and earth!

“Earth Vein Fire… This is the Old Lord Immortal, using immortal divine power to aggregate Taixu Heaven’s entire domain’s Earth Vein Fire, containing vast heaven and earth will power, power at the origin level!”

Immortal Zhao Yuan seemingly sensed Li Che’s confusion and curiosity, explaining to him.
