Chapter 2303: Divine Craft Immortal Hand Competition Begins

As soon as the Young Emperor’s chariot appeared, it crushed all sides.

Even the chariots of Shi Shao Jia and Fu Shaosi could not compare, as the Sky-covering Palace City is the home ground of the Dark Heavenly Court!

Li Che’s robe fluttered as he stepped down from the chariot, with Xi Xi following beside him, while Cang Yuan trembled under the oppressive force of the Heaven and Earth Vein Fire, struggling to breathe.

Xi Xi actually wasn’t affected much, being the Daughter of Prison Lotus, the power of the Prison Lotus Fire was almost on par with the Heaven and Earth Vein Fire.

Thus, Xi Xi not only felt no pain but even a bit comfortable.

However, Xi Xi was smart and knew she couldn’t show signs of comfort; she had to imitate discomfort, or else the various powerful figures would notice something was off.

Immortal Zhao Yuan glanced at the two of them, spreading Nirvana Will to shield Cang Yuan and Xi Xi from the pressure.

Perhaps due to his admiration for Li Che, this Divine Sculpture Immortal extended his protection to Xi Xi and Cang Yuan as well.

Not just anyone could set foot in the Inner City of the Sky-covering Palace.

The Inner City was vast and empty, resembling the inside of a pill furnace. The walls rose high, seemingly crafted from bronze, exuding a bronze hue and covered with various patterns, as if ancient motifs were carved onto them.

As Li Che stepped down from the chariot, various gazes were immediately cast upon him.

There was Ba Snake from the Deceit Demon Cave, the Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand, as well as Jin Mira from Black Sumeru and Young Emperor Shi Shao Jia.

Shi Shao Jia also intended to participate in the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference; indeed, Ji Shaohao wished to join as well, but alas, his understanding of the Divine Sculpture Path was shallow, and his talent had its limits.

Fu Shaosi also represented Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand for the event.

He had specially visited Wa Palace, meeting Wa Huang to learn Divine Sculpting Skills; now he had reached Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand level!

As Fu Shaosi expressed his intent to join the conference, Ji Shaohao’s face suddenly turned solemn.

Dammit!

None of them are playing by the rules!

Shi Shao Jia’s participation was understandable, as he was inherently a formidable Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand.

But what was Fu Shaosi even doing here?!

Ji Shaohao remembered that Fu Shaosi’s sculpting level was about the same as his!

"Damn it!"

Ji Shaohao’s countenance darkened, as he likely assumed Fu Shaosi must have learned techniques from Wa Huang, or perhaps borrowed some skills.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to confidently participate in this conference sweeping the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

He couldn’t help but glance at Li Che.

"Immortal Hand Cang Che... must secure a better rank in this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference!"

"If you can make it to the top three, in addition to the original rewards, I shall bestow upon you three Second Saint Lower Rank Divinity Crystals and one Eight-leaf Dao Treasure Divine Crystal!"

Ji Shaohao was clearly anxious!

With Fu Shaosi and Shi Shao Jia, the two young emperors participating in the conference, Shi Shao Jia’s prowess was not in question. Fu Shaosi likely received true teachings from the Immortal Heaven Wa Emperor from the Deceit Demon Cave and was probably aiming for the top three as well.

If both young emperors secured places within the top three and acquired the Heaven-reaching Divine Pills of high grade.

Then Ji Shaohao... would be left behind entirely.

"Alright! I will give it my all!"

Li Che, hearing this, couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

These upper echelon figures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths truly were extravagant!

Three Second Saint Lower Rank Divinity Crystals—just given as if it were nothing!

For these Divinity Crystals, it would be foolish for Li Che not to earn them!

If he missed this opportunity, he would truly be heartbroken.

The Second Saint Lower Rank Divinity Crystals would greatly aid Xi Xi’s cultivation, allowing her to rapidly advance her realm.

And the Dao Treasure Divine Crystal was beneficial to the nurturing of Old Huang, perhaps letting him emerge more potent!

Just as well, Li Che’s goal was to vie for top ranks among Array Immortal Hand, so obtaining Ji Shaohao’s promised resources was perfectly congruent!

Under the gaze of numerous eyes, Li Che headed towards the center of the venue.

The Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands of various forces emerged, and immediately, all eyes converged!

The number of Immortal Hands participating in this Divine Craft Immortal Hand Conference was overwhelmingly large.

Take Xuanxiao Heaven as an example; just among Ji Shaohao’s followers, there were ten entries. Meanwhile, Xuanxiao Heaven, through selection, had about twenty participants in this conference, plus the Divine Sculpture Master tagging along, reaching about fifty people in one large Heavenly Domain.

So, tallying it up, roughly nine hundred Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands and Master Hands were attending this conference.

Only eighty-one slots were available.

In fact, eighty-one spots were not too few, comparatively, most Immortal Hands had a chance.

Yet, the real fierce competition was for the top ten Array Immortal Hand slots.

Actually, the Heaven-reaching Divine Pill had a limited amount.

The individuals occupying the divine pill quota naturally came from the top ten slots.

The square was extremely spacious, enormous enough to mimic dozens of football fields stacked together.

With over nine hundred Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands and Master Hands gathered together, they appeared rather small in this square.

Li Che felt countless gazes focusing on him, deeply earnest, filled with competitive intent.

Li Che’s performance at the Golden Crane King’s banquet naturally caught the attention of numerous Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands.

Shi Shao Jia also gazed at Li Che for a moment, not underestimating this Dark Heavenly Court’s Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand.

Time ticked by, bit by bit.

The air grew increasingly heated.

The intense high temperature caused many cultivators to sweat profusely, finding it hard to maintain their stance steadily.

Such was the power of the Heaven and Earth Vein Fire, continuously intensifying.
