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

Boom!

Huge waves suddenly rose, ferociously crashing upon the cliffside, generating towering white foam several zhang high.

The typically tranquil Nine Dragons River in the winter had suddenly become restless.

It even whipped up large waves that lashed against the rocks.

This unexpected event naturally attracted the attention of many.

The divinity that permeated the air suddenly began to boil over, it was the divinity contained within the exploding waters of the Nine Dragons River, stemming from the Divinity that spread and bred within the Nine Dragons River from the Four Imperial Arms, the Furious Lotus Prison, and the Third Anger Prince’s Sinister Temple!

“The river’s churning! How is that possible?”

Shangguan Qinghong and Gong Yunli both approached the carved wooden window and looked out just in time to see the river waters raging and roaring!

It seemed as if there were giant beasts lurking beneath the flow, colliding fiercely with the cliffside rocks, causing the entire Treasure Tower to shake!

Wave after wave, even more terrifying than the waves caused by Li Che’s last sculpting session of the Third Prince’s statue!

The snowflakes drifting through the sky seemed to melt in an instant, turning into a pitter-patter of falling rain.

Raindrops exploded on the river’s surface, producing a barrage of explosive sounds!

The river’s surface along the Inner City’s Nine Dragons River tributary collapsed several zhang in an instant!

It was as if a giant beast on the other end of the river had fiercely sucked in a mouthful of water, swallowing the half river’s tide completely, and then spewing it out!

“This shouldn’t be! The statue… Li Che is carving now isn’t the Third Prince’s, is it?” Gong Yunli was a bit stunned.

If it isn’t the Third Prince’s statue, why would it agitate the divinity within the Nine Dragons River?

This doesn’t make sense!

She was struggling to process the situation at hand.

Shangguan Qinghong was also puzzled.

The river violently struck the rocks upon the cliffside, and the suddenly risen waves were now higher than the Treasure Tower itself.

Like an endless water curtain, it continuously washed over everything!

The thick Divinity spread and intertwined ceaselessly within the assessment room!

It was too dense!

The Chief Supervisor narrowed his eyes, the erhu at his waist trembling, its strings as if plucked and played by an invisible force, emitting a faint sound. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

Deputy Inspector Lu Yao of Dao City, his gaze solemn, fixed on the wood carving being sculpted by Li Che.

The only explanation was that it was Li Che’s carved statue of the deity that had stirred up the fury of the Third Crown Prince’s Divinity in the Nine Dragons River!

Not only that, Li Che had only sculpted the outline of the statue so far, and the three Temple God statues he had set up were also infused with Divinity!

Faintly, three silhouettes, emitting the suppressed Divinity of the Temple God Rank, hovered slightly behind the three statues.

“That is…”

The Chief Supervisor stood up, stroked his beard, his eyes sparkling.

Though it was only an outline, he felt as though… he remembered something.

Li Che was not affected in the slightest.

His carving knife was still dancing in his hands as he sat on the chair. His essence, Qi, and spirit were highly concentrated and infused with the skill of the Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique, perfectly executed by his hands.

The master level of the Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique was not only manifested in killing.

Its artistic mastery was just as impressive.

The carving knife tore through the Spirit Wood Organization, the falling debris blown away by the surge of Qi and blood. Counts of knives danced among his fingers, the tools changing spectacularly, with a craftsmanship so fantastical and dreamlike.

Li Che’s eyes flickered open and closed, and in his mind emerged the extremely renowned image from a previous life, an indelible figure from everyone’s childhood!

Every single monkey hair was vividly detailed, and the golden hoops on the Primordial Staff were carved out.

The cloak billowed, with lotus-patterned cloud-walking boots stepping on clouds, as if it was about to break out of the statue’s shell, coming to life with splendid detail!

When the final cut was made.

The heavens and earth seemed to quiet down at that moment.

The thick Divinity surged out from the statue, almost like forming invisible ripples spreading out.

The air laden with the Divinity of the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince seemed to solidify at that moment, gathering upon the wood carving brought forth by Li Che and sweeping out.

Pop, pop, pop!

Three explosive sounds rang out!

The silhouettes invoked by the three Temple God statues Lu Yao had brought out seemed to each have been hit by a silent blow.

They burst into Divine mist and dissipated.

The three statues also cracked with fissures and fell completely silent.

For a moment.

The entire assessment room became very quiet.

In the distance, Tang Ren, the little descendant of the Tang Family, opened his mouth wide, his eyes gaping, his heart full of shock.

So fierce, so powerful!

It seemed he also knew Mechanical Techniques!

Truly a role model for my generation!

Lu Yao stood there, stunned, looking at the three broken statues that he had personally carved. Although done casually, their quality was not bad.

They also possessed six to seven parts of a Temple God’s essence…

After Li Che carved out the Temple God’s statue, they seemed like they had actually been beaten by this Temple God, their Divinity fluctuating and emotions intense.

Could it be that these three Temple Gods had really been beaten before?

Lu Yao’s expression subtly changed.

The Imperial Court’s research on Mysterious Temples never stopped, no matter whether it was the previous dynasty or even earlier, when the Mysterious Temples had just begun to arise.

Whether there were connections between the Mysterious Temples and the Temple Gods within them…

There were also some conclusions drawn: the Temple Gods certainly had connections with each other!

Could it be that the Temple God Li Che was sculpting now had actually fought the three Divine General Temple Gods he had carved?

There was no time to contemplate further.

The Chief Supervisor was already applauding gently.

“Not bad, very good.”

“A Temple God born from the ‘Fire-Eye Mystical Awe Spirit Monkey?’ A Che, did you come up with this by yourself, or… did you have a reference?”
