Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 258 A Bold Idea
Not everything went smoothly for Zhao Yifu. There was one thing that bothered him. He found that as time went by, the evil spirit in the Taixu Forbidden Book was getting stronger and stronger.

He didn't know if something had gone wrong with Mu Lu, or if the world was about to change again?
In short, he has been finding it increasingly difficult to resist recently.

Even with the two magic weapons, the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword and the Killing Knife, suppressing it together, the evil thoughts in the Taixu Forbidden Book had already begun to gain the upper hand.

To be honest, Zhao Yifu's current condition is very dangerous. If the ideas in the Taixu Forbidden Book completely gain the upper hand, then it will overwhelm the other two magic weapons, and he will have to bear the combined force of the three at the same time!
This kind of thing is obviously not allowed.

Unfortunately, there is no way to solve the problem by improving the magic soldiers through blood sacrifice, so Zhao Yifu had killed the demon cultivator so decisively with his sword... No, strictly speaking, he sacrificed him.

However, this is not enough. It can only alleviate the urgent problem temporarily but cannot completely solve the problem.

He was troubled, and the only solution he could find at this time was to continue to comprehend the heaven and earth, and then quarrel with the evil spirit in the Taixu Forbidden Book.

If he could win an argument once, he would be able to suppress the evil spirit a little, and his own spirit would also be improved.

This is the fundamental solution, but it is too slow, so slow that Zhao Yifu is a little impatient... He always wants to find something to sacrifice to the knife and sword, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with.

And at this moment, his savior came...

They were a group of independent cultivators who came together. Zhao Yifu looked at them from afar and could easily feel that the aura on them was not pure.

Although there is no obvious smell of demonic cultivation, it is mixed with killing and sin.

Some people even have a faint sense of calamity...

Zhao Yifu watched them silently, then suddenly pulled out a piece of spiritual paper and wrote on it, asking, "...Master, what's going on with these cultivators who look so down and out, yet are clearly not ordinary people?"

He himself doesn't have much knowledge about the heavenly realm, but his master does.

Especially now that Liang Zhongzhi is one of the direct managers of the Sword Immortal Alliance, he has knowledge of intelligence from all over the place.

Liang Zhongzhi quickly responded, "If my guess is correct, these individuals who appear to be independent cultivators are likely looters. They are usually independent cultivators who specialize in plundering resources from other people or small forces to support their own cultivation."

"Be careful, they are not simple."

Zhao Yifu understood and said, "So that's it. They are the robbers from the heaven. I get it."

Liang Zhongzhi's text continued to appear: "Hey, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive..."

Unfortunately, he couldn't see that Zhao Yifu had already drawn the knife.

A thick white mist quickly spread out, covering the entire place.

Mirage Illusion, this is an illusion skill that Zhao Yi Fu had learned long ago, and it is now terrifyingly powerful when it is performed in the heaven.

Because this illusion incorporates his new understanding of the world and the application of the true numbers of the universe.

Everyone in this white fog illusion was like mortals entering a thick fog. All their thoughts and spiritual senses were confused and disturbed, making it impossible to see clearly.

Zhao Yifu rushed forward with a knife in hand. The white fog would even cover up all his tracks and movements. It was simply the best method for assassination in person.

A faint scarlet bloomed in the white mist, and the terrified cries seemed to be wrapped in a thick curtain in the white mist, muffled, distant, and inaudible.

After a while, the white fog dissipated.

Zhao Yifu returned to Baiyun Mountain with the bloody knife in his hand.

The blood color on the knife quickly disappeared, and the blade was like the fangs of a vampire, constantly sucking blood.

The scene looked very evil, but the Black and White Impermanence who came from the underworld to collect souls were very satisfied with the quality of these souls.

Those killed by the killing knife were all cleansed of their grudges, and these robbers had done a lot of evil things, and there were also immortal souls... Wow, this wave of performance is comparable to the sum of the performance of the previous three to five years.

Zhao Yifu's killing knife received a blood sacrifice, relieving the pressure from the Taixu Forbidden Book; the Black and White Impermanence received performance; Baiyun Mountain received waste materials... a win-win situation for all three!
After that, the area around Liaoshan became very busy, with some unscrupulous people always coming over...

For Zhao Yifu, this was simply a "gift from heaven". No matter who sent it, he would just kill it.

...Two years passed unknowingly, and the entire Liaoshan area became much more lush and prosperous.

In his spare time, Zhao Yifu also sorted out the spiritual energy of the mountain. The mountain had become noticeably less hot. Most importantly, the four craters had become much quieter, and even the lava river flowing into Liaocheng showed signs of drying up.

Instead of being alarmed, the Liao clan was extremely happy about this.

When the lava river dries up, they can go further to the crater to mine, but the extra land can be reclaimed nearby, and after a few years of cultivation, it will become fertile farmland!
Over the past two years, the Liao Clan has lived an extremely peaceful and tranquil life. The cultivators who used to come and disturb them from time to time are no longer there. Only passing merchants come and go with fear in their hearts...

This place has become a new legend in the cultivation world, like a Jedi. Because it is said that cultivators who enter this place have a narrow escape from death, the story is extremely mysterious.

Zhao Yifu didn't care much about what the outside world said. He was just extremely grateful to the person behind the scenes who kept giving him heads.

Because if not, he felt that he would have collapsed long ago.

At this moment, there was an ancient bronze mirror hanging in front of him, and in the mirror was a dignified and beautiful goddess.

It is Mu Lu [Yin].

This is an ancient mirror that was brought by the Black and White Impermanence when they came to collect their achievements.

This celestial grandson was apologetically saying, "My dear friend Junxin, my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds during this period. I am sorry for causing you trouble."

Zhao Yifu said helplessly, "You are too kind, Tiansun. The demon spirit is growing faster and faster, and it is really difficult for me to suppress it."

Mu Lu [Yin] said apologetically, "I don't know how I can help you. No matter what, I will do my best."

Zhao Yifu naturally made his request: "I have to find some more evil thoughts from different sources. The hatred of my Killing Blade is ultimately unconscious, and no matter how strong it is, it has its limits. The evil spirit on the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword has only grown slightly stronger over the years, and it can't keep up with the growth rate of your Yang side."

"Although I am also improving, I am still far from being able to suppress it... Therefore, the only solution I can think of is to introduce external forces."

Mu Lu [Yin] said in embarrassment: "This is too dangerous. Why don't you seal the Taixu Forbidden Book first?"

Zhao Yifu shook his head: "No, it hasn't reached that point yet. If I seal it up, it will certainly make me feel much better, but it will only postpone the risk."

"Besides, without my protection, your yang side could break free at any time... Do you still want to become the same person you were when I met you?"

Mu Lu [Yin] sighed and said, "Of course I don't want to, but I can't sit idly by and watch you suffer for me."

Zhao Yifu always felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little wrong.

He quickly said, "Don't worry, that time has not come yet. Besides, I have found that the power of will can suppress this. If it really doesn't work, I can use the power of will to suppress it."

Zhao Yifu actually didn't want to use this path, because he believed that vows were only a helper for cultivation and shouldn't be wasted on this. Moreover, since Mu Lu, the Emperor of Dongyue, had become like that due to the erosion of the Eternal Grudge, it was clear that vows weren't very effective.

Mu Lu [Yin] smiled faintly and said, "That's right...it just so happens that the Liao Mountain where you are has gradually restored the balance of the five spirits because of your combing. I will help you generate a mountain god seal to help you control the Qianli Liao Mountain."

Zhao Yifu was surprised when he heard this and asked, "I'm a mountain god?"

He felt a little resistant in his heart. Doesn't this mean that he would have to accept the management of the Heavenly Court again?

He felt annoyed when he thought of the patrol angel's appearance last time.

Mu Lu [Yin] said gently: "Don't worry, I gave you the seal. You are my direct mountain god... No one will bother you."

Zhao Yifu felt relieved after hearing this.

Not long after Mu Lu [Yin] finished speaking, Zhao Yifu discovered that there was a golden spiritual light flowing where he was standing.

As the spiritual energy gathered, a square seal fell into his hand.

The seal has a color similar to brass, and is simple and has no additional carvings.

But the words engraved on the seal are: Liaoshan Baiyun.

This Liaoshan naturally refers to Qianli Liaoshan, and Baiyun... refers to him.

Or perhaps it is because of him that Baiyun Mountain has become the main peak of Liaoshan.

When Zhao Yifu held the divine seal in his hand, he immediately felt a very friendly earth spirit gathering on his body, allowing him to directly control the power of earth as if it were his own arm.

Holding this seal, one can naturally perform earth-moving magic with a single thought, instantly appearing at any point on the ground where one desires. At the same time, one can cast any earth-moving magic at will.

Zhao Yifu felt it and said, "Isn't this too strong? Are all mountain gods this powerful?"

In his mind, aren't mountain gods just weaklings who can be called upon and dismissed at will?

Why does it seem different from what he thought?

Mu Lu [Yin] looked at him with a smile and said, "I've already said that you are a mountain god who is only responsible to me, so naturally it's different."

Zhao Yifu scratched his head and said, "Alright, with this power I can quickly rebuild Liaoshan."

Mu Lu [yin] said: "But you have to be careful. When I was concentrating the Mountain God Seal, I found that the Liaoshan ground vein seemed to have been tampered with... If it really doesn't work, you can abandon this seal and you will be free of worries."

After hearing this, Zhao Yi Fu's heart moved and he said, "I understand. I'll go and take a look now." Mu Lu [Yin] nodded, said goodbye to him, and disappeared into the ancient mirror.

Zhao Yifu was playing with the Liaoshan Baiyun Seal in his hand, pondering in his mind.

Then he stood up and walked outside, saying to Yiyi in front of him, "I want to go out for once."

Yiyi immediately called out "meow~".

Zhao Yifu said, "No, I won't take you or Ah Chou with me. I'll go by myself."

"You take good care of everyone."

"And Ah Chou, if anything happens while I'm not home, it's up to you."

He nodded to Achou, then disappeared into the ground.

The white cat Achou opened his bright eyes and looked around.

Then it suddenly turned into a white light and took shape into the appearance of the Aurora Fairy.

She said, "Now, you all have to listen to me!"

A burst of "wildcat howling" immediately erupted from the hilltop, and it sounded like everyone was cursing very filthy words...

……

Zhao Yifu had no control over how noisy his cat would be at home.

He has now escaped all the way underground.

The underground of this Liaoshan area is truly full of magma channels.

But at the same time, there are also gurgling water veins.

Zhao Yifu stopped beside an underground lava river and sensed it carefully, and finally found something wrong with what Mu Lu [Yin] said.

He fled somewhere for a while, and then found a demonic energy in a cave that was corroding the rock.

This evil energy has corroded an underground cavity, and huge pressure is accumulating in this cavity.

If it explodes...

Zhao Yifu sensed it carefully and felt that if it erupted, a new volcano would be formed here!

The location of this volcano...

He discovered that above his head was the Liao City!

My goodness, who would go to so much trouble to leave something like this here?

He knew that someone wanted to target him, which is why so many things happened over the years.

But the question is, why target the Liao clan?
He pondered.

Thinking about what happened in recent years, he vaguely guessed a possibility: there is someone behind the scenes who wants to shake his determination!

So the question is, who would do this?

Zhao Yifu looked at the thick demonic energy and immediately thought of the "parting amicably" Mo Luo in his early years.

What he thought about was that the demon wanted to "renew their relationship" with him again.

This made him hesitate, because he had an idea of ​​another operation...

Is he afraid of evil thoughts now?

Just when I was worrying that the evil thoughts were not enough to suppress the eternal resentment!

The bold idea was to simply return to the Demonic Kingdom. With the importance that Mo Luo attached to him, he would definitely be provided with an endless supply of demonic thoughts...

In this way, he could use his demonic thoughts to suppress the eternal resentment and restore his mental state to a stable balance.

But doing so would undoubtedly be very dangerous and full of uncontrollable factors.

He didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so he quickly took out the map of summoning gods and explained his idea to Master Fuyou.

He would not discuss this matter with Mu Lu, because Mu Lu would definitely persuade him to give up.

Nor would he discuss it with Master Wenheng, after all, this master can only rely on himself.

Unlike Patriarch Fuyou, who has the support of the entire Taiqing lineage.

After listening to his introduction, Patriarch Fuyou was obviously frightened by his idea: "You are so bold! Wouldn't it be great to escape from the Demonic Kingdom? You actually want to deliver yourself to it."

Zhao Yifu scratched his head and said, "I have no choice. Otherwise, I can't hold on any longer and can only seal this Taixu Forbidden Book... But if I do that, Tiansun's demonic spirit will easily regain its freedom. By then, I'm afraid the world will have another demon king."

"I feel like as someone who has been suppressing it for so long, I'm definitely not going to have an easy time when the time comes."

This is what he is worried about... Ever since he got hold of Mu Lu [Yang], he has been on a path of no return.

Master Fuyou paused and said, "Wait a moment, I'll think of a solution for you."

Having said that, he disappeared from the summoning picture.

Zhao Yifu waited patiently.

Just waiting for three days...

Zhao Yifu was very surprised that there was no news for three days. He couldn't help but start to think wildly, wondering if his idea was too bold.

"What a courageous little fellow."

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his ears, which made him shudder.

He suddenly turned his head and saw a young Taoist in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe standing beside him with a smile on his face. His eyes were calm, yet seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, and seemed to be able to see through the inner colors of his heart.

Zhao Yifu woke up with a start, then bowed and said, "Hello, Grandmaster. What is your name?"

The mysterious young man nodded but didn't answer his question. He said bluntly, "No need for extraneous formalities. Tell me, are you confident you can withstand the gaze of Mara?"

Zhao Yifu hesitated for a moment and said, "A little, but not much."

The mysterious young man nodded and said, "Okay, then I will protect you. You can try it according to your idea first."

Zhao Yifu looked at the mysterious young man in surprise, feeling a little uneasy, but also having the urge to try it regardless of the consequences.

He trusted Master Fuyou very much, and this mysterious young man was obviously the helper invited by Master Fuyou, so he also trusted this person.

Therefore, Zhao Yi Fu nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and then stretched out his hand to the evil energy in the underground cave that was still eroding the earth veins.

This evil energy contained extreme emotions, and it was obvious that in addition to detonating the underground fire, it was also preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to drag Zhao Yifu into the abyss.

Now that Zhao Yifu has chosen to actively accept this demonic energy, it means that he is ready to open his heart to the Demonic Kingdom again...

The next moment, as he made contact, the demonic energy burrowed into his palm like a swallow returning to its nest...

In the brief tense atmosphere, extremely chaotic thoughts suddenly burst out in his mind.

Originally, the six desires of life were like a mountain far away to him. He still had desires, but he was able to deal with all desires calmly.

But now the situation is different. The mountain between him and desire has disappeared, and his soul is once again immersed in the torrent of desire!
Suddenly, he raised his head as if he had realized something.

There was still a rock wall above his head, but his gaze transcended all visible realms and saw the gaze from the invisible demonic realm.

The familiar feeling of being stared at, it’s Mara!

The look in his eyes was filled with the joy of meeting old friends again.

Eye of Demon!

And these eyes immediately released infinite magical power. Zhao Yifu felt that the emotions around him were churning even more violently, as if they were partying together and returning to this vast demonic kingdom.

Indeed, he is back.

Zhao Yifu covered his forehead with his hand, feeling a chaotic noise in his head that made him feel very uncomfortable.
