336: Woodcarving and the Ten-War Immortal Emperor

"A special feeling?"

"Yes!" Han Tiezhu said excitedly, "I feel Ancestor is scrutinizing me, like a very powerful expert examining my Foundation. Recently, Ancestor seems to be in a good mood and even gave me a reward!"

Qin Feng frowned and asked, "What reward?"

"Ancestor transmitted some Divine Soul power to me. Now my Divine Soul is at least ten times stronger than before!"

Tiezhu excitedly displayed his Divine Soul power, his originally light green Divine Soul now purple, looking extremely strange. But the pressure from that Divine Soul was genuinely strong, far exceeding that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection Cultivator!

The facts were laid bare, leaving Qin Feng completely dumbfounded.

This sculpture was clearly something he had carved casually, a facade to conceal his synthesis ability. Even with worship, it shouldn't be possible for an ordinary wooden carving to gain sentience, right?

The only possibility was that the wooden carving had accumulated a large amount of Qi from incense offerings, and then was occupied by some minor ghosts or other evil entities, devouring the Qi from incense offerings.

After all, the people of Netherworld Soul Hall were all Cultivators, and their strength was gradually increasing, so the Qi from incense offerings they generated was hundreds, even thousands of times more intense than a secular temple fair!

Qin Feng was distracted, while Tiezhu was incredibly excited about Netherworld Soul Hall's recent progress. After a perfunctory exchange of a few words, Qin Feng waved to the crowd and said, "Alright, you all go do what you need to do. I need to have a few words with my Revered Master."

Before leaving, Tiezhu said with a face full of admiration, "Feng Ge, you must definitely honor our Ancestor well. Our Netherworld Soul Hall is developing better and better now!"

...

Qin Feng ignored him. After everyone left, he directly cast a Divine Soul Restriction to envelop the surroundings, then used his Divine Sense to carefully examine the wooden sculpture.

However, the results of the examination were still exactly the same as before; there were no discoveries!

"This shouldn't be!"

Qin Feng frowned deeply, yet he was utterly perplexed.

He had noticed that everyone's attitude towards this sculpture was off when Netherworld Soul Hall was at the Chang Sheng Sword Sect ruins. Now he had discovered it again, and this wooden sculpture could even absorb that purple Qi.

If he didn't investigate this thoroughly, he'd probably wake up in the middle of the night, slap himself twice, and continue pondering this matter...

"Since you have sentience, why don't you reveal yourself before me?"

"If you don't appear, don't blame me for splitting this sculpture. I carved it with my own hands. Others might fear you, but I don't!"

Qin Feng held the Thorn Moon Flying Sword, threatening the sculpture, but the scene remained quiet.

"..."

Since that's the case, then split it!

Qin Feng sighed, then channeled Spiritual Power into the Thorn Moon Flying Sword, intending to destroy this uncontrollable thing. Just then, the wooden sculpture suddenly emitted a large amount of purple smoke, and at the same time, a middle-aged man's voice sounded.

"Little friend, wait!"

...

On the other side.

Han Tiezhu, Chen Bingxue, and the others did not leave immediately but stood not far away, observing.

Although Qin Feng had set up a barrier and they couldn't hear the sound, they could clearly see Qin Feng's actions inside the barrier.

When they saw Qin Feng holding a Flying Sword and talking to Ancestor, everyone's faces turned green.

Han Tiezhu said with a face full of horror, "It seems Feng Ge and this Ancestor don't have a good relationship. He's even drawn his sword. Could it be that he dislikes the Sect's slow development speed?"

"Ancestor is just a sculpture, yet he's already so powerful. The Hall Revered Master actually dares to raise a sword and talk to him. Our Hall Revered Master is truly fierce!"

"I wonder what they're talking about, for it to come to this."

"Can't see anymore, let's disperse."

Just as everyone was watching with great interest, the inside of the barrier was already filled with purple smoke, making it impossible to see anything.

Everyone dispersed.

But inside the barrier at this moment, Qin Feng's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Because Qin Feng could clearly feel that the sculpture in front of him seemed to have come alive, and besides the purple Qi from incense offerings on its body, it also seemed to have Five Elements Spiritual Power, exactly like his own Five Elements Spiritual Root!

Looking up again, even its appearance was exactly the same!

Qin Feng, his nerves taut, asked, "What exactly are you?"

"I am the Revered Master of the Dangtian Book and the Earth Shaking Brush. My Divine Sense was shattered and resided within the two Magical Artifacts. By a fortunate Opportunity, I was saved by the little friend. Now I reside within this sculpture. You can also consider me a wandering ghost in the world, who coincidentally obtained Qi from incense offerings to re-gather my Divine Soul. In a way, little friend, you are my reborn parent."

As the voice fell.

A young child wearing a red belly wrap suddenly appeared before Qin Feng.

He blinked his large eyes and said, "If you are willing to let me call you 'Daddy,' then you will be my Daddy for this life. If you are unwilling, I also beg you not to shatter my body. If I die again, I will truly be unable to reincarnate for all eternity."

As the words fell, the young child's eyes were tearful, as if Qin Feng's refusal would make him cry the next second.

Qin Feng frowned and asked, "You said you are the Ten War Immortal Emperor?"

"Mm."

"Then tell me about your past, your present, and your future plans."

"Past? ..."

A sense of vicissitude not belonging to his age appeared in the child's eyes, and he then began to recount events from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Cultivation first appeared in this world. At the same time, countless people from the Spirit Realm coveted the beings of this world, using the people of this world for blood sacrifices, offerings, and refining various Formations and Magical Artifacts...

The beings of this world were harvested like grass by the people of the Spirit Realm. Cultivation resources were scarce. The Ten War Immortal Emperor, as a prince of a kingdom, seeing his people's lives harvested by those so-called Immortals high above, secretly cultivated a wicked art to preserve his kingdom. He forcibly raised his cultivation by using the remnant souls of billions of his kingdom's citizens, creating the Dangtian Book and the Earth Shaking Brush, two Magical Artifacts.

Once an opponent's name was written in the Dangtian Book, they would be continuously gnawed by billions of remnant souls. Even a true Immortal could not resist this power of erosion.

Relying on these two Magical Artifacts, the Ten War Immortal Emperor slaughtered Immortals, humans, gods, demons, and buddhas from various realms, sending them fleeing in disarray. He even fought his way into the Spirit Realm. Ultimately, he became too prominent and was jointly attacked and killed by numerous forces in the Spirit Realm...

After listening to the other party's description, although Qin Feng was skeptical, he had to admit that the Ten War Immortal Emperor was a true man, fighting his way into the Spirit Realm by himself.

Such a feat alone was an unprecedented and unparalleled achievement!

However... was this little fellow truly the Ten War Immortal Emperor?

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the young boy in front of him, his skepticism unconcealed.

If he released him, the other party would certainly grow beyond control once they reached a certain level. If he dealt with the other party now, Qin Feng worried about accidentally harming the true Ten War Immortal Emperor, especially since the Dangtian Book and Earth Shaking Brush in his possession were crafted by him personally, which would seem rather heartless.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng asked the young child:

"Since you say your predecessor was the Ten War Immortal Emperor, then I ask you."

"What quality of Magical Artifacts are the Dangtian Book and Earth Shaking Brush? Besides writing names, are there any other ways to use them?"
