Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 292 The Black Myth is Born
The celebration lasted three days.

Zhao Yifu said solemnly, "We can't delay any longer. We must find a way to prepare a dream script for Chenxiang."

He felt a deep sense of guilt for his recent period of depression.

Old Pig was having so much fun that he forgot all about home. He waved his hand and said, "Keep eating and drinking! Why are you thinking about that?"

Yang Jian, still worried about his nephew, put down his wine cup and said, "It's time to prepare properly, but I'm not good at this..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yifu, after all, Zhao Yifu was the only scholar among them, and he had even passed the imperial examinations in the mortal realm.

The monkey immediately said, "It's definitely not my job to write it. Why don't you write it, my good brother? But since Chenxiang is my disciple, there must be a scene of him causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

Yang Jian said, "In that case, why don't we tell him what we want, and then let Fu Yinzi create it?"

“He is my nephew, so there has to be a storyline about splitting the mountain to save his mother.”

Pighead perked up immediately and said, "This is my apprentice, so we must arrange some romantic affairs for him."

Everyone turned to look at him, wondering what his romantic escapades had to do with this pig-headed guy.
Oh, right, it's the only one here with a wife.

Zhao Yifu and the others exchanged glances, their fists hardening.

Zhao Yifu rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, these are the requirements, right? They don't seem too difficult. We can give it a try."

Yang Jian suddenly hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Zhao Yifu saw this and asked, "Uncle-Master, do you have any other ideas?"

Yang Jian said, "Since we are weaving a dream for Chenxiang, could we invite my sister Yang Chan to participate as well?"

Faced with Yang Jian's sincere request, what could Zhao Yifu say?

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Uncle Master, to inquire about the Third Holy Mother's request."

Without a word, Yang Jian immediately used a Water Mirror Technique to create a mirror screen in front of him...

Inside, there was a woman lying sprawled on the bed, fast asleep...

Yang Jian quickly stopped the spell and glanced at the person next to him, saying, "Wait a minute, the way this spell was activated is wrong."

He then turned away and muttered to himself for a while before turning back to demonstrate the Water Mirror spell once again.

This time, a dignified and virtuous fairy appeared in the water mirror, prompting everyone to exclaim: "Truly the goddess of Mount Hua!"

The Goddess of Mount Hua said softly, "Thank you all for your concern for my son Chenxiang. I have no other requests... Since this is a dream to train Chenxiang, let me die in front of him in the dream."

As she finished speaking, she revealed a sorrowful expression.

Zhao Yifu was stunned... Goodness, he was all too familiar with this kind of artistic girl's expression. Wasn't his encounter with Zhou Qingzhao back then precisely because of her artistic nature?

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
Yang Jian wants Chenxiang to split the mountain to save his mother, Yang Chan wants to die in front of Chenxiang, and the Monkey King wants to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace... Add some of the romantic escapades that Pigsy wants in between, and the story is already complete, isn't it?

However, just as he was preparing to finalize the draft and was about to finish it, he suddenly heard Lao Zhang's voice in his ear: "I don't care about anything else, I want the story to have a twist at the end, that the Heavenly Emperor is actually a good person, and the Queen Mother is the real villain."

Zhao Yifu: ...

Good heavens, is there something wrong with the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and Empress?

However, at that moment, he heard a graceful female voice again: "You little thief, you better have a good ending for me, or I'll hold you accountable for stealing from the Heavenly Court!"

Zhao Yifu was numb.

It turns out that all the things he did in Heaven were never out of the sight of these big shots.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, they are the two rulers of Heaven. How could they really know nothing?

What happened...

Forced into a corner, Zhao Yifu came up with a quick idea, then pulled out a handful of white paper from his sleeve and splashed ink on it.

The next moment, streaks of ink appeared on the white paper, spreading into a book in a short time.

As for writing novels, with Zhao Yifu's current mental capacity and spiritual strength, isn't updating and finishing a novel every day just basic stuff?
He scanned the area with his divine sense, carefully considered the wording in a few places, and then let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "So, what do you all think?"

He truly managed to perfectly combine everyone's demands...

First, Yang Jian suppressed the Third Holy Mother. Then, Chen Xiang traveled around seeking masters to learn skills in order to save his mother. He happened to encounter the Clean Altar Messenger, who was enjoying offerings in the human world.

He apprenticed under a master and even took the Victorious Fighting Buddha as his mentor. During this time, he learned various martial arts and experienced a promised romance, but he remained steadfast in his determination to save his mother.

What follows is the story of Yang Jian's fierce battle, in which Yang Jian ultimately prevailed due to his superior skills, and then splitting the mountain to rescue his mother.

however……

The mother was rescued, but this also exposed the Third Holy Mother to divine retribution, ultimately leading to her death and being reduced to ashes.

The mother and child were only able to meet briefly amidst divine retribution.

Enraged, Chenxiang felt that the heavens were unjust and stormed his way to the Heavenly Court to discuss the rules with the gods.

This leads to the scene of the monkey causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, a plot that the monkey loves to watch.

However, it was definitely not enough for him to attack the Heavenly Court alone. Many people were already dissatisfied with the stagnant state of the Heavenly Court, and many immortals began to help him to fight against the Heavenly Court.

Even Yang Jian, disregarding his injuries, helped him.

Finally, they arrived before the Heavenly Emperor and, after overcoming numerous hardships, finally killed him.

After the Heavenly Dao avatar was shattered, Old Zhang quietly appeared, indicating that what they had destroyed was only an avatar of the Heavenly Dao. In a short while, the avatar would reassemble, and the Heavenly Emperor would return.

Furthermore, Mr. Zhang stated that he had been trying to save his family members over the years, but the more he tried to save them, the more likely things were to go wrong.

His sister, daughter, and niece all inexplicably fell in love with mortal men. He tried his best to hide it, but in the end, the Heavenly Dao would inexplicably discover their love and use him to bring down divine punishment.

His niece's death grieved him deeply, and he decided to have them overthrow the Heavenly Court to see who was behind it all.

As a result, they saw the Queen Mother in her dark form appear.

It turns out that the mastermind behind all this was the Queen Mother. While they were busy fighting with the Queen Mother, Pigsy accidentally discovered the real Queen Mother being imprisoned while scavenging things in the Jade Pool.

When the true Queen Mother reunited with everyone, they realized that this Queen Mother was actually the "Dark Queen Mother," created under the influence of the "Ancient Resentment," and was extremely mad, solely for the purpose of overthrowing the Heavenly Court's order and destroying the rules of Heaven.

Then came a great battle, and with everyone's combined efforts, they finally defeated this formidable enemy. In the end, Zhao Yifu remembered to portray the Queen Mother in a positive light, so his final fate was that the Queen Mother and the demon that had grown in his heart perished together.

However, the fate of the Heavenly Emperor's lineage did not change as a result. This family, which bore the greatest karmic burden in the Three Realms, had to continue to shoulder the responsibility of protecting all living beings in the Three Realms. Chenxiang understood the cause and effect involved and realized his own responsibility, so he chose to join the Heavenly Court to share this responsibility with his family.

The group read the entire novel, "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother," in one go, and felt as if they had been transported to another world.

I always feel that it's ambiguous, it seems to be true, but it also seems not to be true.

The monkey was indeed thrilled to see Yang Jian wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but in the end, he looked at Yang Jian with a puzzled expression and said, "So, you, with three eyes, are really this great?"

Yang Jian blushed, realizing he wasn't actually that great. But thinking of the plot in the book, he had an epiphany: "I did imprison Chan'er under Mount Hua to protect her from divine punishment. Once that mortal Liu Yanchang is dead, this ill-fated relationship will be over, and then it will be fine."

"Now it seems that keeping her under Mount Hua was a fitting punishment... If we were to rashly release her from under Mount Hua, we might really face divine retribution."

"Just like... Mother!"

Yang Jian suddenly realized that he had also split the mountain to save his mother back then.

As soon as she rescued her mother, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, scorching her mother, Yao Ji, to death.

The bloody lesson is still fresh in our minds, how could we forget it after so much time has passed?
Yang Jian reminded himself, then looked at Zhao Yifu and said, "It's fortunate that you reminded me, Junior Nephew, otherwise it would have been a disaster."

Yang Chan, who had finally finished reading the entire book through a communication spell in the water mirror, was also filled with lingering fear. She realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "Why don't we have someone impersonate me and be rescued?"

At this moment, this unruly female fairy still showed a strong will to survive.

Yang Jian immediately said, "That's not appropriate. If we reveal our true intentions, it might cause this child to develop inner demons."

Ultimately, our goal is to nurture this child into a successful individual.

The monkey chuckled and said, "Then why don't we have San Yatou sacrifice herself, just like in the novel?"

Yang Jian's face turned furious upon hearing this, clearly displeased with the monkey's incoherent ramblings.

"You little rascal, still making sarcastic remarks at a time like this."

The monkey, with a defiant look on its face, said, "Your family is the most troublesome in the world. Maybe it would be better if you were all dead."

Okay, this monkey doesn't look like it's having a good day.

Without saying a word, Yang Jian picked up his three-pointed double-edged sword and mountain-splitting axe and went up to fight.

Of course, they also knew not to damage Zhao Yifu's territory, so they fought their way eastward towards the sea.

Even so, the commotion they caused was still too great.

Zhao Yifu stared blankly at the book he had just finished writing, feeling helpless.

Suddenly, the monkey shouted, "Brother, come quick! We can't have fun without you!"

He immediately put down his work, grabbed his sword and rushed forward.

Fighting is still more interesting.

They fought a bloody and devastating battle over the East China Sea, a battle so fierce it eclipsed the sun and moon.

In particular, Zhao Yifu's cultivation level is even stronger than before... The improvement in cultivation level does not actually help increase his combat power limit, but because of his research on dark source power, the dark source power has become more effective in his body, which makes his combat power limit even stronger.

Only under these circumstances could he truly achieve a draw with these two renowned war gods and fighting Buddhas of the Three Realms.

The three of them held nothing back and fought fiercely without reservation, then shouted together in unison, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The monkey was just itchy and deliberately provoking them, but now that they're really into it, it's laughing with glee.

This was simply a friendly exchange of martial arts, and Yang Jian was naturally happy to oblige.

After fighting with all his might for a while, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Junior nephew, why don't you enrich the plot later and make the fight between Chenxiang and me more difficult?"

The monkey agreed, saying, "He can also have a couple of matches with me so I can teach this kid a lesson and show him where the real difference lies."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yifu's heart stirred. He didn't change the speed at which he thrust out his sword, but said, "In that case, why don't I further refine and categorize each plot, making him experience the betrayal of his beloved, the misunderstanding of his brothers, and the inevitable defeat of his challenge?"

"For example, in the battles with Monkey King and his master, he could be defeated or even die... Anyway, those are just his dreams, he can start over another day."

Yang Jian paused upon hearing this, and as a result, Zhao Yifu's knife tip slashed across his chest.

The silver armor on the chest offered no protection whatsoever; it was torn open as easily as a piece of paper.

There was no bloodstain below the cut, only a shallow white mark on his body, which looked as if some skin flakes had just been scraped off.

This Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is extremely powerful.

The monkey stopped fighting and said, "That's enough. Let's work together to figure out how to change the plot and side quests!"

Afterwards, they returned to Baiyun Mountain and began a heated discussion.

Whether Yang Chan lives or dies is no longer an issue, because Zhao Yifu has already devised the preconditions for achieving the 'mother's survival' goal.

There's also the betrayal of a lover... but there's a solution to this too. Zhao Yifu specially designed a bizarre and convoluted plot, allowing Chenxiang to experience the coldness and warmth of human relationships.

More importantly, the plot design for the God of War Yang Jian... is to use various methods to temporarily prevent Yang Jian from using his various magical treasures and weapons, ultimately forcing Yang Jian to use the 'Sky-Waving Cloak' to fight the enemy.

Yang Jian nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, then frowned and said, "Why does it feel like you're disparaging me?"

The monkey was overjoyed and said, "That's great, much more reasonable."

"Besides, there's nothing wrong with the cloak, I just don't know if he'll recognize the cloak that used to cover him when he was a child."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian surprisingly accepted the arrangement, saying, "Alright, that's how it is."

Of course, there's a happy ending too. Instead of fighting the Heavenly Dao incarnation, you first fight the Queen Mother incarnation of darkness. This draws out the Dark Dao incarnation, which in turn causes the Heavenly Dao incarnation to perish together with it. This temporarily frees the Three Realms from the shroud of darkness and the mechanical control of the Heavenly Dao, allowing for a more humane existence within the Three Realms…

In short, this perfect ending is a state of 'you're good, I'm good, everyone's good,' although Chenxiang may not be able to reach this perfect ending.

Everyone was quite satisfied with this, and no one cared about the poor kid at all; everyone had found their own enjoyment.

Amidst the laughter, Zhao Yifu sensed something was amiss. It seemed as if the dream had been magically transformed into a 'Souls-like game'.

Good heavens, is this 'Black Myth Agarwood'?
