The Last Woodcarving
However, the closer they got to Uncle Zhuo's house, the more nervous Dalong became. He could not help but tighten his grip on the wooden carving.
When he came to the familiar door, he saw a white-haired, slightly stooped old man. He was holding a carving knife with a focused expression, staring at the dragon at the door.
"Uncle … Uncle Zhuo!" Dalong stuttered.
Zhuowen looked at Dalong with a smile and said, "Dalong, the wood carving in your hand is only half finished. Bring it over and let uncle finish it for you."
After a moment of silence, Da Long walked over and handed the wooden carving to Zhuowen.
Zhuowen smiled and took the wooden carving. Then, he concentrated on carving. Da Long, on the other hand, stared at Zhuowen, who looked to be in his seventies, with a complicated expression.
The old man in front of him was indeed related to the immortal with boundless magic power.
"Haha, how dare you show off such a trashy restriction in front of me!"
An insolent voice resounded like thunder in Apricot Blossom Village, causing all the villagers to come out.
Dalong's expression changed drastically. He was extremely anxious. Looking at Zhuowen who was still carving, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhuo, there are two immortals outside the village. It's because of me, so …"
Before Da Long could finish his words, the arrogant voice had already appeared behind him. The blue-clothed youth and the burly man had unknowingly appeared at the door of Zhuowen's hut.
"You're just a mere mortal. Don't you know that treasuring a jade ring is a crime?
If you don't want to die, you'd better hand over your treasures. "
The blue-clothed youth ignored the white-haired old man who was still focused on carving. Instead, he stared coldly at Da Long.
Although he knew that the dragon had a rare treasure, he had not seen the true face of the rare treasure before, so he did not know that the purple power actually came from the incomplete wood carving.
Dalong's heart tightened. He could not help but retreat to the side of Zhuowen, who was still carving. However, he soon realized that this would bring disaster to Uncle Zhuo, so he immediately calmed down. He looked directly at the blue-clothed youth and said, "You can have my treasures, but you have to promise me that you will never hurt anyone in Apricot Blossom Village."
The burly man grinned and said cruelly, "A mere mortal dares to raise conditions in front of me? Die!"
The big man reached out with his right hand, intending to grab Da Long in front of him.
However, the moment it arrived in front of Da Long, the giant hand made of divine power collapsed with a loud bang, and the burly man let out a muffled groan and crashed to the ground behind him in an extremely sorry state.
"What happened?"
The young man in blue looked at the big man who was sent flying and his expression turned serious. He couldn't help but observe the surroundings with his divine sense. He found that there was no third person here other than the old man in the sculpture and this ordinary mortal. Then who sent the big man flying?
The blue-clothed young man's gaze landed on the old man's body. The old man's aura was ordinary, but the blue-clothed young man felt that this old man was not ordinary.
This was because the old man didn't show the slightest change in expression when he saw the two of them. Instead, he was still concentrating on the wooden sculpture in his hand.
In order to verify his guess, the blue-clothed young man's eyes shone with an ominous glint. He took out the divine sword in his hand and shot it toward the old man at the door.
"Be careful …" Da Long shouted.
Crack!
The divine sword fell a few inches away from the old man's head and suddenly stopped. Then, it shattered with a loud bang.
The blue-clothed young man was greatly shocked. This was his natal artifact, and it shattered for no reason. He knew that this must be the old man's doing.
The old man in front of him was at least a Void Sky expert to be able to easily send the big man flying and shatter his natal artifact.
"Senior, I am Chen Xuan, a True God disciple of the Qi Cultivation Sword Sect. I have offended you just now. Please forgive me. Chen Xuan will leave now."
Chen Xuan cupped his hands and was about to leave immediately. However, he soon discovered that a powerful confinement force had appeared around him. A formless and terrifying killing intent had completely enveloped him.
Chen Xuan knew very well that if he dared to take a step back, this terrifying killing intent would immediately materialize. The owner of this killing intent would attack him mercilessly.
"Let this old man finish this wooden sculpture first!"
Zhuowen said indifferently and continued to focus on carving the wooden sculpture. Chen Xuan's heart was filled with bitterness. His attention also fell on the wooden sculpture in Zhuowen's hand. His pupils shrank and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Great Brahma?"
Da Long silently watched all of this, but his heart was in turmoil. He vaguely guessed that the Uncle Zhuo he knew since he was young was really a mysterious immortal. Moreover, he was much more powerful than the two immortals in front of him.
When Zhuowen finished carving the last stroke, he put down the carving knife. A trace of a smile appeared in his eyes. He handed the wooden sculpture to Da Long and said, "Da Long, this is the complete wooden sculpture. Keep it by your side in the future. For so many years, your family has taken good care of us. Consider it as repayment."
Da Long hurriedly took the wooden sculpture and looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated gaze. He said with some uncertainty, "Uncle Zhuo, you …"
"Whether it is or not isn't that important. I've already completed the last piece of work. Do you know why I've been working tirelessly on wood carvings all these years? Moreover, every single wood carving is either a strange figure or a beast, right?" Zhuo Wen asked with a smile.
Da Long shook his head blankly.
"Because those are all the opponents I have encountered in my cultivation. The wooden sculpture in your hand is called Great Brahma. It is the last opponent I have faced in my cultivation. Now, I am giving it to you." Zhuowen said with a smile.
The blue-clothed youth at the door narrowed his eyes. He stared at the old man in front of him and thought of a legendary figure. A figure who killed Great Brahma and became the new ruler of the Sky Region. His name was Zhuowen.
"You are the Master of the Sky Region?
Master of the Sky Region, I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope that master of the Sky Region will not take it to heart. "The blue-clothed youth quickly begged for mercy.
"Da Long, Chen Xue and I will be leaving this place …"
After Zhuowen finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Da Long's eyes. The blue-clothed youth and the struggling man on the ground disappeared with him.
Da Long looked at all of this in a daze. It was like a dream.
… …
High up in the sky, Zhuowen and Mu Chenxue had already returned to their original appearances. The two of them looked down at the Heavy Rain Country and the other countries under the heavy snow.
"Husband, what do you plan to do with those two?" Mu Chenxue looked at the people under the heavy snow and sighed.
"Kill!"
Zhuowen's gaze turned cold. He looked at the countless refugees below who were caught in the disaster and said, "If it weren't for the two of them wantonly fighting and even fighting in the mortal world, such a terrifying natural disaster wouldn't have happened around the Heavy Rain Country. The innocent people wouldn't have become refugees who couldn't even live or die."
Mu Chenxue nodded. She also agreed with Zhuowen's approach. Cultivators shouldn't have any connection with the mortal world. This was the rule of the cultivation world. Not to mention, powerful cultivators were actually fighting in the mortal world. It was a complete mess.
"Then husband, what do you plan to do with them?" Mu Chenxue looked at Zhuowen and asked.
"Let time and space return to its original point. You and I shouldn't have appeared here, so …"
As Zhuowen spoke, he pointed out with his right hand. Instantly, the power of time and space spread throughout the entire mortal world. Then, time and space gradually flowed backward at this moment, like an inverted hourglass.
