Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che faces a simulated cosmic challenge, contemplating whether to seize the Ruyi Golden Cudgel or provoke an Immortal Lord. Meanwhile, expert carvers begin selecting divine wood to craft their sculptures. The Golden Crane King has invited powerful Divine Sculpture Great Immortals to observe and guide the proceedings. As the competition commences, elite carvers from ancient villages start their work, drawing the attention of the Young Emperors and Great Immortals. A powerful demon carver also begins his distinctively fierce creation.

"The little monk will also begin."

Jin Mira from Black Sumeru opened his eyes, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

Countless Buddha Lights shone, with palms together, Jin Mira looked to the largest piece of Divine Wood in the corridor.

That Divine Wood came rushing in, slowly laying upon the carving platform, nearly reaching the top of the Treasure Pavilion!

The style of Black Sumeru’s Divine Sculpture is summed up in one word—big!

They could even carve a mountain into a Buddha Sculpture!

As the Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands of Black Sumeru and Deceit Demon Cave began to move, it became quite lively within the booth where Golden Crane King was.

Shi Shaokya and Fu Shaosi both looked towards Ji Shaohao.

"Brother Shaohao, your Dark Heavenly Court’s Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand is the quickest to close his eyes and the slowest to use the knife. It seems he truly intends to deeply understand the Heavenly Divine Eagle..."

Fu Shaosi chuckled lightly, but his tone carried a sense of sarcasm.

Ji Shaohao frowned, saying nothing.

"Brother Shaoxi, just wait, Immortal Hand Cang Che is praised by Immortal Zhao Yuan..."

Ji Shaohao felt calm, oddly confident in Cang Che.

He did not know where this confidence came from, but he just felt very sure.

"Opened his eyes."

Suddenly, the usually quiet Shi Shaokya spoke.

A point of crimson appeared between his brows, his eyes bursting with Golden Light.

He stared at Li Che, standing in the booth corridor, with golden pupils flickering, vaguely sensing a familiar feeling.

This familiar feeling intensified greatly when he saw Xi Xi eating heartily in the booth.

That little girl...

However, when Shi Shaokya tried to delve deeper, the familiar feeling vanished.

"Strange..."

Ji Shaohao also immediately glanced over.

Actually, Ji Shaohao did not have high expectations for Li Che, even though he had taken out an Eight-leaf Dao Treasure Divine Crystal to stimulate Li Che’s resourcefulness.

But Ji Shaohao did not think Cang Che’s sculpting could necessarily surpass the two Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands of Two Saints Ancient Village.

After all, Two Saints Ancient Village... had sufficient self-sustaining capability to be known as such.

Their village was home to a Great Immortal of Divine Sculpture.

Both Shi Shaokya and Fu Shaosi looked over curiously. In the Path of Divine Sculpture, Dark Heavenly Court had always been weak. Ji Shaohao’s unexpected confidence piqued their curiosity.

Golden Crane King, holding a golden wine cup, also looked over.

Li Che did not expect that merely taking out his engraving knife would make him the focus of the booth housing Golden Crane King.

Li Che naturally felt all those substantial glances.

He furrowed his brows slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

He cast his gaze toward the Divine Wood in the corridor.

"Damn wealthy dog."

Li Che cursed inwardly.

These Divine Woods dazzled Li Che.

With a thought, he directly selected five pieces of Divine Wood, which were the largest, aside from the one chosen by Jin Mira.

Li Che’s choice of five pieces of Divine Wood in one go shocked many people.

"What is he doing?!"

Xuanyuan Hao from Emperor Hong Ancient Village, handsome and holding an engraving knife, wore an odd expression.

Ba Snake and Jin Mira just glanced and then withdrew their gaze.

Both had silently categorized Li Che as a show-off.

It seemed that Dark Heavenly Court, aware of its shortcomings in the path of Divine Sculpting, planned to attract attention by showmanship?

Showmanship could draw eyes.

But Divine Sculpting... ultimately speaks through its works.

Inside the booth, Ji Shaohao’s expression turned strange.

In the next moment, Ji Shaohao almost raised his hand to cover his face, feeling embarrassed.

Because, holding the engraving knife, Li Che fiercely slashed down, taking large Divine Wood, but he merely carved a small piece from the wood, about one-tenth, and unceremoniously pocketed the remaining nine-tenths.

This operation genuinely made Ji Shaohao feel awkward.

Even Nirvana Heavenly King and Golden Crane King were momentarily stunned before laughing heartily and drinking their wine.

"Young Emperor, where did you find this Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand..."

"Interesting."

Ji Shaohao rubbed his brows: "Heavenly King, please don’t joke. Immortal Hand Cang Che comes from a Four Imperial Middle Rank village... His strong sense of responsibility for the village wants to accumulate more Divine Wood; that’s understandable."

"Understandable."

"Hahaha! An Immortal Hand of Divine Sculpture from a poor family indeed isn’t easy."

Golden Crane King laughed, but he wasn’t angry.

Just a few pieces of Divine Wood; it’s plentiful. To a Nirvana Heavenly King, it’s nothing.

"However, if he took the Divine Wood and doesn’t use it... that wouldn’t be acceptable."

"It’s a rule, after all. Can’t just get it for free, right?"

Golden Crane King said blandly.

He has resources, but obtaining for free... is not allowed!

Ji Shaohao looked resigned: "I think... he’ll use it. As a Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand, Immortal Hand Cang Che understands the rules."

Shi Shaokya clasped his palms together, face serene, under Buddha Light glow.

"If using other Divine Wood, it must be completed with mortise and tenon joint structure, which tests not only the Divine Sculpting Skill but also the mastery of joint techniques... significantly harder."

"Furthermore, a Divine Sculpture formed by combined Divine Wood might impact Divine Charm’s compatibility."

Shi Shaokya, a top Divine Sculpture Immortal Hand, even stronger than Jin Mira, had deep insights into Divine Sculpture.

Ji Shaohao didn’t know much about Divine Sculpture, so he didn’t respond.

The booth fell silent.

Other Divine Sculpture Immortal Hands weren’t paying attention to Li Che.
