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

“`

“Master Li, demonstrate your cultivation.”

As the words fell,

everyone’s eyes inside the assessment room shifted slightly, all of them curiously staring at Li Che.

Meeting the cultivation standard was a mandatory requirement; if one’s cultivation didn’t meet the standard, the assessment was needless to proceed with—they would be directly eliminated.

This was the standard for the assessment of a second-class guest official.

As for the specifics of Li Che’s cultivation, many were unclear.

Yet, Gong Yunli and others knew that Li Che hadn’t been cultivating for long, and he was extremely low-profile, almost always working from nine to five in Mansion City.

Even though his daughter had joined the Divine Sect and became a Divine Child, he still maintained his low-profile demeanor.

What exactly Li Che’s cultivation level was, the crowd really wasn’t sure.

The assessment room was eerily quiet.

Everyone was waiting for Li Che to reveal his cultivation level.

Li Che smiled, showing no signs of stage fright.

For him, meeting this cultivation standard was indeed very easy.

But now, the question for Li Che was how much of his cultivation to reveal.

His dark robe trembled slightly as he stepped forward, clenched his fingers, and a surge of Qi rushed through him, his sinews and bones resonating as if a Qi Channel had burst forth from his Heavenly Spirit Cover to his feet with a thunderous sound.

“His Qi and Blood Martial Cultivation has indeed reached the Qi Channels realm,” Gong Yunli remarked with a nod, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes.

However, in the next moment, her enchanting eyes suddenly widened.

Because with Li Che’s grip, the airflow within the assessment room seemed to be completely swept away, whirling violently!

Mysterious Vein through Channel Opening!

Gong Yunli let out a startled “ya” of surprise.

Li Che’s body trembled again, and as the state of the White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist merged into his body, it caused another transformation in his Qi and blood, as furious as a tiger descending the mountain!

It seemed as though everyone in the room could hear the roar of a tiger, shaking the entire room.

“Divine Vein!”

Gongyang Liancheng’s eyes twinkled, astounded.

Powerful Qi and blood surged and then gradually receded, leaving Li Che with a gentle smile on his face.

“Lord Lu, next is the Nurturing Nature level of cultivation,” Li Che said.

Lu Yao nodded slightly, his gaze sharpening.

Li Che remained standing in place, lifting his hand to press on the Mud Pill between his eyebrows.

Divinity suddenly boiled over within the examination room, and subsequently, a Divine Base ascended from behind Li Che!

Shangguan Qinghong blinked.

When did Che break through to the Divine Base Realm?

So fast…

During the third-class guest official assessment last time, wasn’t Che only at the level of Nurturing Nature like a stream?

In one year, Che had gone directly from Three Transfers of Blood Change to Divine Vein, Nurturing Nature like a stream to forge a Divine Base…

Incredibly astonishing!

What kind of monster is this?

This talent… is too exaggerated!

But then, considering that Li Che’s daughter is Prodigy Xixi, a rare Jiazi Child Prodigy from Golden Light Prefecture, it seemed somewhat reasonable.

Lu Yao scanned the document before him and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Nine Luminaries Xuansi Liu Sword Divine Base… not bad, it meets the requirements.”

“But a year ago, you were merely at Nurturing Nature Like a Stream. How could you create a Divine Base in such a short year?” Lu Yao’s gaze swept over lightly.

Li Che retracted his Divine Base into the Mud Pill and said with a smile, “Perhaps… there are more resources in Mansion City, and the food is good.”

“This year, I’ve worked diligently, earning a total of fifty-six Divine Crystals, all of which I’ve refined, thus leading to the breakthrough in cultivation.”

“Deputy Supervisor Lu, what you may not be aware of, Li Che… is the biological father of Golden Light Prefecture’s Divine Child Prodigy Xixi,” the Chief Supervisor said with a smile as he stroked his beard.

“When Li Qingshan went to Fei Lei City to test for Spirit Children, Li Che’s talent was also detected. Although he was twenty years old, he was Divinity without blemish or flaw, a Supreme Spiritual Child with extremely high Talent…”

“Just a bit older, that’s all.”

Hearing this, Lu Yao smiled and looked towards Li Che. A twenty-two-year-old Spiritual Child?

He didn’t doubt much.

Under his Primordial Spirit perception, Li Che’s displayed cultivation was indeed as he had shown.

Lu Yao trusted his Primordial Spirit detection even more.

He didn’t believe Li Che could hide from his Primordial Spirit’s search.

After noting down Li Che’s current cultivation realm on the document, it represented that Li Che had passed the first round of the cultivation assessment.

“The second test… is to evaluate the ‘Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique.’ This technique, ‘Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique,’ is a fusion of a Divine Secret Technique and Divine Martial Arts,” Lu Yao said.

“Seven Element Divine Sculpture Technique, as well as the Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Jue Xue…”

“You may demonstrate.”

Lu Yao instructed.

For a Heavenly Oversight Guest Official, the “Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique” is the most important, as it is transmitted by Qintian Observatory, and the level of mastery also relates to whether one qualifies as a guest official.

After Lu Yao finished speaking, Li Che immediately took action, his qi and blood bursting forth as he flung out his arm in an instant.

Countless shadows piled up layer upon layer, dense and numerous, as if behind him they transformed into hundreds of arms, each one in a different posture, with every finger acting differently, as though they were grasping, carving, pressing…

Bang——!

All the Thousand Arms converged, smashing into the air ahead, the airflow intensely stirred, as if striking the surface of a giant leather drum, bursting forth with a deafening roar!

Whoosh——

Li Che’s arm swung again, his qi and blood surging like a furnace overturning, the countless arm shadows stacking up nearly solidified, spreading out behind him like a peacock displaying its feathers!

“Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique… the realm of a Master!”

Whoosh!

After Li Che demonstrated the Divine Carving Technique, there was suddenly a buzz of astonishment in the examination room.

Shangguan Qinghong, Gong Yunli, and Gongyang Liancheng were utterly shocked.

In just one year, to have mastered the Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique to the level of a Master?

Is this what talent looks like?

Li Che’s wood carving talent was outstanding, and it enhanced his ability with the Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique… But this enhancement, wasn’t it overly significant?!

Even the Chief Supervisor and Lu Yao revealed looks of surprise.

They had thought that Li Che mastering this Divine Sculpting Technique to Major Accomplishment was already his limit, yet unexpectedly, he had entered the realm of a Master.

No wonder he had the confidence to undertake the Second-Class Guest Official assessment.

Li Che reined in his aura, the shadows of a thousand arms disappeared, his expression gentle.

As his own cultivation improved, Li Che could also appropriately reveal a bit more of his true strength, enabling him to gain more benefits.

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes, observing the gentle young man before him with some surprise.

This young man… he has the stature of a Special Class Guest Minister!

According to the records, his growth rate is too fast!

A fine prospect!

Lu Yao could not help but think about poaching him.

Such a fine prospect, if sent to Dao City’s Imperial Heavenly Observatory, could receive even more resources and develop and improve more quickly.

“Very good, very good, you’ve mastered the Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique to the level of a Master, which meets the requirements for a Second-Class Guest Official; next, comes the final assessment.”

“Wood Carving skill assessment!”

“Independent carving.”

Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

Lu Yao stood up.

He waved his hand.

In a flash.

Three seemingly simple wood carvings appeared on the desk.

Yet the expression on the wood carvings was lifelike, as if they were about to come to life.

“These three are Temple God Wood Carvings from the Qi Yuan Mysterious Temple, you have the time of one incense stick to complete an independent wood carving.”

“After the carving is complete, your wood carving will be placed alongside the three Temple God Wood Carvings.”

“At that time, divine mutual exclusion will occur, and if your wood carving can withstand the divine power of the three Temple God Wood Carvings for the duration of ten breaths, you’ll be considered to have passed the assessment!”

Lu Yao said calmly.

Li Che’s gaze immediately fell upon the three Temple God Wood Carvings.

His eyes flickered slightly.

He suddenly understood why the Chief Supervisor, when he proposed to take the Second-Class Guest Official assessment, had asked him to visit the Mysterious Temple and observe the Temple God.

Was it for this moment’s preparation?

Li Che laughed.

There was not a hint of panic or tension in his heart.

He glanced over the three Temple God Wood Carvings.

He slowly walked to the pile of wood, selected a piece of Eight Extremes Spirit Wood, gently tapped it, his qi and blood steaming, drying out the moisture within the Spiritual Wood.

Then he returned to his work station.

Taking out his carving knife, he began to carve.

Since he didn’t plan to hide his skills and wished to show a little of his ability,

Li Che let go.

His eyes suddenly sharp, the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit within his chest at level 4 throbbed, the carving knife danced in his palm, and the next moment, it touched the wood.

Amid the tearing sound, wood shavings flew in all directions.

With each knife raise and fall, the blade gleamed like a wandering dragon!

Then, a wood carving slowly took shape under Li Che’s knife!

Dressed in Locked Golden Armor, crowned with a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown.

His eyes blazing like golden fire.

Holding a Primordial Staff, with Cloud Turning Flow beneath his feet!

In an instant!

The three Temple God Wood Carvings that Lu Yao had brought out and placed on the table… uncontrollably burst forth with Divinity!

Inside the examination room, Divinity boiled and churned!

In the Nine Dragons River, the river water surged with a great tide!
