"This must be the most intense ti for competition now."
Li Hao said.
The others have just arrived in Origin City, fighting for the spirit explosion, and
as the crowd lessens later on, the competition won't be as fierce.
"Indeed.""
"Then I'll first borrow a piece of land from you, elder."
Li Hao said.
The elder was a bit surprised and nodded, "As you wish."
Li Hao imdiately sat on the ground, not paying attention to the five towering rays of light, but instead pressed his fingers together forming sword qi, carefully carving on the section of the tree root in his hand.
Seeing Li Hao's focused expression, the elder's face revealed a trace of oddity, clearly not expecting soone to not fight for the divine tree spirit explosion but rather engage in so other idle task here.
Having nothing better to do, he casually cast a line, yet his gaze fell upon Li Hao's carving, observing his work.
At this mont, Li Hao had gradually entered a state of imrsion, his Dao Domain surrounded him, with realms like Space-Ti, Water, Fire, and Earth converging within it, rendering his surroundings absolutely calm and serene, undisturbed by others.
Sword qi carved outlines and divine charm on the tree root, as carving beca like painting, and painting like carving.
Li Hao had long reached the 11th level in the Artistic Path, whereas the Carving Arts was only at the 10th level.
At this mont, the many insights from the Artistic Path also concentrated at his fingertips.
However, with previous insights gained by using painting to comprehend the space path, Li Hao now focused more intently on feeling the Dao Realm insights brought by the carving.
In no ti, the divine tree gradually beca exquisite, radiating divine charm and precious light, with this section of root gradually transforming in Li Hao's hand into the figure of a woman with billowing attire.
This woman was Lin Qingyue.
Her eyes were clear and tranquil, vividly lifelike, as if she stood right on Li Hao's palm.
"Oh?"
The elder, seeing the carved figure, showed surprise in his eyes, imdiately recognizing that Li Hao's carving artistry was extrely profound, even among the many great figures he had encountered, it was considered quite
remarkable.
Soon, as the last stroke on the eyes was completed, Li Hao had a feeling of clarity, only then realizing where he was.
Previously imrsed in carving, he had been completely absorbed.
Staring at the extrely divine charm, with traces of Tao flowing around it, capturing Lin Qingyue, Li Hao's eyes flashed as he resud carving again.
Quickly, the wood carving of Lin Qingyue held a sword in its hands, already unsheathed, seemingly poised in midair.
Surrounding the sword's blade, a sharp Dao Light emitted, unmistakably Lin Qingyue's practice of the Nihility Sword Dao.
More precisely, it was the No Sword Dao.
The elder's astonishnt deepened; carving the woman herself wasn't particularly unusual, but being able to carve her associated Tao was truly terrifying.
"It seems you've entered the Dao through carving"
He whispered.
Li Hao snapped back to reality, smiled at the elder, then examined the carving in his hand, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
The carving was incredibly perfect, yet for so reason, he felt sothing was still missing.
Earlier, during the carving, he sensed the textures contained within this section of the Divine Wood, imbued with the essence of the Wood Dao Origin. Though he seed to have gradually comprehended so of it during the carving, it wasn't enough.
"True carving may perhaps be naturally flawless...
"The original growth of the Divine Wood is nature's own carving..."
Li Hao's eyes revealed understanding, and then as if realizing sothing, he quickly stood up, and went to cut another section of the Divine Wood, feeling a bit embarrassed, he said to the elder:
"Elder, may I borrow another piece?"
"No worries, take as needed."
The elder seed to notice sothing, a smile tugged at the corner of his
mouth, calmly saying.
Relieved, Li Hao clasped his fist in thanks, then put away the carving of Lin Qingyue and resud his work.
This ti he thought of Elder Wang, and soon thought of Ying Xiaoxiao whom
Elder Wang pursued.
Recalling the first encounter at the roadside tea stall, where she stood endearingly in the wind, smiling and saying her surna was Ying, 'to respond to all requests' Ying, and nad Xiao, the carefree 'Xiao."
The laughter lingering in the wind and the girl's carefree deanor made him smile knowingly.
The Tao moved in his hand, this ti not carving with sword qi, but with the Ti Origin.
Ti danced gently over the Divine Wood, like a caress, the Divine Wood
transford along with it.
The Divine Light blossod from its surface, as wood grain split and twisted, extending into lines that ultimately combined into a figure of a woman.
The contours of the woman gradually clarified, with the Divine Wood's unfolding green leaves splitting and forming her dark hair.
Seeing this transformation, the elder's eyes showed a hint of intrigue, then a
subtle smile appeared on his lips.
Perhaps he hadn't misjudged... He silently observed Li Hao's carving.
Using ti to carve, the process wasn't fast; ti flowed around Li Hao, and
when he finished, the elder saw the woman's appearance, his gaze subtly
tensing.
Exhaling a breath, Li Hao looked at the carving in his hand, his eyes showing satisfaction.
At this mont, he noticed the five rays of light above, shining their Divine Light, disappear, and looked up to see the five Divine Trees had returned to
normal.
"Is it over?"
Li Hao asked in surprise.
"It's been over a month."
The elder said.
Li Hao was stunned, "I carved for a month?"
"Yes." The elder nodded slightly, looking at the carving in Li Hao's hand, said,
"That woman, where have you seen her, who is she to you?"
Li Hao looked at Ying Xiaoxiao and said, "You could say she's a friend."
"A friend, is it..."
The elder squinted his eyes slightly, saying, "When did you see her, this young
lady is not simple"
"You know?"
Li Hao's heart stirred, imdiately recalling Ying Xiaoxiao's past identity, the
Shi Miao Divine Lady who rode through the True Realm under the banner of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor a hundred thousand years ago.
