Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 322 Don't Disturb Them

Zhao Yifu reached out and grasped the hilt of the Immortal-Slaying Sword. He felt a profound and mysterious sensation wash over him, followed by a flood of sword techniques and routines that entered his mind. It was as if he had instantly grasped all the ways of using a sword in the world.

This is the power of the sage's supreme treasure.

The Immortal Sword could be considered the least lethal of the four swords in the Immortal Execution series, but its abilities are ever-changing, making it the pinnacle of skill and illusion.

Zhao Yifu actually thought the sword suited him quite well; at least he could learn a lot of swordsmanship techniques from it.

If a sword immortal were to obtain this sword, he would probably be overjoyed.

As Zhao Yifu pondered this in his heart, he bowed to the sky above and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this treasure."

Of course, the Immortal-Slaying Sword wasn't actually given to him; it was for his self-defense.

After all, what he's about to do is absolutely dangerous...

Yes, generally speaking, it would be very dangerous.

but……

Old Zhang chuckled and said, "Alright, even the Supreme Saint is pleased with this, so you'd better hurry up and get to work."

He left, beaming with pride.

Zhao Yifu was troubled; what should he do about this?

He pondered for a moment, and then his eyes lit up... At times like this, he needed the well-connected Monkey King!

When that monkey was in the sky, it didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables and made friends with many people.

Now that He has achieved enlightenment, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to have Him help organize a banquet or something?
Zhao Yifu's heart stirred, and an avatar was created and sent down to the mortal realm.

Zhao Yifu found a monkey in the human world.

This monkey had actually been guarding Chenxiang's side the whole time... As a master, he was like an old father.

Perhaps it was because it was his first time taking on an apprentice, but he genuinely felt like he wanted to keep his precious apprentice close to his heart.

The monkey saw Zhao Yifu and greeted him, "What brings you here?"

Zhao Yifu said, "I already have an incarnation in the human world, but things haven't been going well these past few years. There have been all sorts of troubles, so I came to see how Chenxiang is doing."

The monkey laughed and said, "Agarwood is very good because he has already become an immortal and is protected by immortal light, so his farmland yields a bumper harvest every year."

Zhao Yifu seemed to understand something and said, "That's true. A place protected by immortals and gods can naturally avoid the chaos of the five elements."

Zhao Yifu had another idea. Judging from Chenxiang's behavior, perhaps letting the immortals descend to earth and return to the land was the key to allowing the mortals to continue to thrive after the great victory.

If combined with the 'turbid grain' he developed, perhaps it really could work?
He had many thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show them.

He said to the monkey, "That's good. Chenxiang is in good condition now. Once he finishes fulfilling his filial duties in this life, he will surely be able to return to the Heavenly Court with a sense of fulfillment and should be able to make great progress."

The monkey said, "That's right, that's right, I, Old Sun, am also looking forward to that day."

Zhao Yifu hesitated, saying, "But if that happens, Chenxiang will have to face the gods of Heaven in person..."

The monkey also fell silent for a moment.

Because He had a rough idea of ​​Chenxiang's mission, when Chenxiang returned to heaven after achieving his merits in the mortal world, he would probably have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of rebelling against Heaven.

The monkey couldn't help but ponder: "This Heavenly Court has eight main deities: Thunder, Fighting, Fire, Water, Wealth, Plague, Tai Sui, and Smallpox. If my disciple were to attack the Heavenly Court, wouldn't it be disastrous if even one of these eight main deities couldn't withstand it?"

"No, I, Old Sun, will personally take charge and make sure they keep an eye on things when they make their move, so they don't hurt my apprentice."

Zhao Yifu smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Monkey. Chenxiang is going to do something big, and you, as his master, can pave the way for him."

"By the way, when you go to heaven to build relationships with the various gods, you can offer them more of that 'Drunken Dream Immortal Wine'."

The monkey, curious, asked, "What do you intend to do with the 'Drunken Dream Immortal Wine'?"

Zhao Yifu looked around and then said mysteriously, "I've heard that most of these eight righteous gods were disciples of the Jie Sect back then. I'm extremely curious about the Investiture of the Gods war back then, and I'd like to glimpse the grand occasion through my dream."

Is this okay?

Upon hearing this, the monkey, who was already playing pranks and joining in the fun, could no longer hold back.

He scratched his head and said, "Absolutely, absolutely! My brother, you must take me with you on this wonderful occasion!"

This time, he was full of energy and didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed the Drunken Dream Immortal Wine and went.

The only regret is that there isn't much Drunken Dream Immortal Wine to begin with, and at this rate, it's almost gone.

Helpless, Zhao Yifu could only go to the Immortal Brewing Garden again to see if the God of Wine had brewed more Drunken Dream Immortal Rain.

He walked into the garden with familiarity and saw a busy figure moving back and forth among the wine pools, casting spells.

This is Dionysus.

I had never seen this god of wine before because he was always in a state of drunken stupor.

But now, he works as hard as an ox or a horse.

Zhao Yifu then looked at the three wine pools...

Good heavens, the three wine pools that were originally just empty shells have now been filled up again.

However, the Jade Liquor and Nine Heavens Intoxication remained unchanged, but the wine pool in Drunken Dream Immortal Rain had been greatly expanded.

The God of Wine was mainly busy around the wine pool in Drunken Dream Immortal Rain, seemingly continuing to brew new immortal wine.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yifu immediately understood that it must be Old Zhang exerting his influence behind the scenes.

As expected of Old Zhang, he is practically Zhao Yifu's 'top-notch inside man' in Heaven.

Without letting the God of Wine discover his presence, Zhao Yifu, with his back to the God of Wine, swept away a large swath of the Drunken Dream Immortal Rain with a flick of his sleeve.

Then he ran away quickly.

I imagine the God of Wine would be terrified when he turned around and discovered that most of the Drunken Dream Immortal Dew he had painstakingly brewed was gone.

But it doesn't matter. He will be at peace when he discovers that all these celestial wines will eventually appear at the Victorious Fighting Buddha's banquet.

There are so many little things to do.

In fact, if the ingredients used to brew the immortal wine in this Immortal Wine Garden were not all nourished by the secret methods of the Heavenly Court, Zhao Yifu would definitely have packed up the God of Wine and taken it with him to brew wine specifically for himself.

Zhao Yifu's actions are incredibly efficient; the monkey has already blown out a hair to transform into a "widely distributed invitation to heroes," and the Victorious Fighting Buddha is treating everyone to drinks. How amazing is that?!
In the past, this monkey was always the one who freeloaded food and drink everywhere.

Zhao Yifu also hurriedly asked the God of Cookery to prepare a banquet.

In just three days, the banquet was organized.

At this banquet, more than 70% of the eight righteous gods were present, and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful.

Even disregarding the powerful figures from all sides, its scale alone is comparable to the Peach Banquet.

"Wow, Great Sage, your food is so delicious! It's even better than the food made by the God of Food in Heaven."

The God of Doubu was greatly surprised.

"Fool, haven't you noticed that the God of Cookery has been gone for a long time?"

"Not only did the God of Food disappear, but the God of Food's mansion, which received offerings from the mortal world, also disappeared."

"So what? We don't usually eat his food anyway..." "The God of Cookery's food isn't that great, but how come these dishes are so delicious..."

A group of immortals were enjoying their meal.

Because they tasted the flavors of the mortal world in these dishes.

Subtly, the God of Cookery's skills improved again, allowing these gods, who were used to being high above, to experience the taste of the mortal world.

This is by no means a derogatory matter; in fact, it is quite remarkable, as it effectively curbs the obsession with incense offerings to some extent!
Then the monkey opened the Drunken Dream Immortal Rain again, and with a surge of magic, filled everyone's cups. Then he said, "Come on, let's get drunk big today!"

A discerning person sniffed and said, "Drunken Dream Immortal Rain, is the Great Sage going to take us all down today?"

The monkey replied bluntly, "So what?"

Another person said, "Haha, not so good, I'm just about to have a good drink!"

All the immortals and gods responded with a resounding roar.

They all love alcohol, especially when they're drunk.

For these deities who were deified after death, they are essentially 'reborn' as gods. Although their memories of their past lives remain, they are hazy and dreamlike.

For them, every day felt like a dream shrouded in mist and fog, and under such circumstances, their cultivation naturally stagnated.

This caused them great distress, and they even found their drunken dreams to be more real than reality itself.

Therefore, when the gods saw the Drunken Dream Immortal Dew, they couldn't hold back any longer and began to scramble to drink it.

The monkey, on the other hand, became much more restrained. He watched the gods drink, occasionally chuckling to himself, revealing his cunning.

Before long, the hall where the banquet was being held was filled with snoring; everyone had fallen asleep.

The monkey quickly whispered, "Brother, it's time to begin."

Zhao Yifu's avatar had already appeared beside the monkey, and then gently patted the monkey's shoulder...

The next moment, the monkey's dream avatar left his body and was taken to the dream world by Zhao Yifu.

Although the monkey also learned the "Dreamlike Immortal Journey", it could not roam the dream world as freely as Zhao Yifu.

A moment later, they appeared in the dream world and saw many of the gods' dreams.

The monkey said, "They're all dreaming their own dreams, which is a bit boring."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yifu laughed and said, "What's the big deal? Let me reweave the dream for everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he traveled through the dream world, drawing out threads from the individual dreams of each deity, and then weaving them together.

This is Dreamweaver.

Originally separate dreams were woven together to form an incredibly vast dream world.

While each dream would normally have some deviations due to individual factors, in this collective dream, the errors were strongly corrected, and the ancient catastrophe seemed to be completely replicated.

This world was as if it had been replicated one-to-one.

Everything in the dream seemed to be a replay of yesterday.

In the dream, the immortals of the Chan Sect mechanically reenacted history, while the disciples of the Jie Sect were all incredibly agile and eager to fight.

The true spirits, once obscured by incense offerings, have come alive again, and they are eagerly anticipating this moment.

The monkey was overjoyed to see the young and inexperienced Yang Jian in the Investiture of the Gods war. Then, he picked up a staff and joined the Chan Sect in fighting against the Jie Sect immortals.

In particular, this monkey is extremely shameless. After playing around in the Western Zhou Dynasty, he switched sides to the Yin Shang Dynasty and beat up the Bodhisattvas who helped him many times on the journey to the West, having a great time.

This left the immortals of the Jie Sect both amused and exasperated, turning what was originally a satisfying storyline into something rather strange.

Just as the immortals of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect were engaged in a chaotic battle, a giant jade hand suddenly descended from the sky, intending to give the Jie Sect immortals a big blow.

Just then, another jade-green slap came from the horizon, and someone shouted, "Shameless! You even interfere in the dreams of the younger generation!"

Then, the two hands, one white jade and one green jade, slapped each other back and forth in this 'small' dream space, like children playing.

Zhao Yifu was dumbfounded, thinking to himself that even a saint could be quite unreasonable when he got emotional.

The immortals of the Jie Sect were thrilled by what they saw and cheered wildly for their saint.

This fervent emotion undoubtedly awakened their previously obscured true spirits... perhaps this is where their true opportunity lies.

It's true that Zhao Yifu was too impatient, pursuing efficiency at all costs, to the point that he summoned most of the disciples of the Jie Sect from the Heavenly Court to join in creating dreams.

Otherwise, if they were operating one by one in a dream, it wouldn't have caused such a huge scene.

Zhao Yifu was even a little nervous. That sage was not very magnanimous. Had he offended the sage again?
Wait, why did he say "again"?
Just then, the monkey appeared beside him, looking fierce but actually cowardly, and said, "Brother, why don't we run away first?"

Zhao Yifu grabbed the hairy hand and said, "Brother Monkey, don't be anxious. This is a scheme we two set up. It's our karma that we can't escape."

The monkey responded helplessly, but its eyes flickered as it watched the two jade hands, one green and one white, constantly clashing and intertwining, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhao Yifu also looked somewhat serious and couldn't help but want to find his backer to solve the problem.

So his true form hurriedly turned around and called out, "Grandmaster, is Grandmaster here?"

"It's noisy."

Xuan Du's lazy voice came over.

When Zhao Yifu looked up, he saw him stretching on a big tree not far above his head.

He hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, where is the Grandmaster? I have urgent business to discuss with him."

Xuandu glanced at him sideways and asked, "What's the matter? Can't your grandmaster solve it?"

Zhao Yifu replied quietly, "It's because the Tongtian Ancestor and the Yuanshi Ancestor are fighting again..."

Xuandu shuddered, and his yawn was halfway through before he withdrew it.

He looked around and said, "There's no movement... That makes sense, the Dao Ancestor forbids saints from entering the Three Realms."

Zhao Yifu said, "It happened in the dream world, in the dream I created."

Xuan Du looked at Zhao Yifu with astonishment, never expecting that his little grand-disciple would be playing such a big game.

He said, “Come on, our teacher hasn’t gone to Taiqing Heaven yet. We can find Him in the Tushita Palace!”

With that, he and Zhao Yifu vanished from the spot.

Although not as convenient as the Sky Claw, it still quickly arrived at the Tushita Palace.

The main reason is that Xuan knew where the back door of the Tushita Palace was, so he could walk directly to the meditation room of the Taiqing Sage without needing to announce his arrival.

Before Zhao Yifu could say anything, the voice of the Supreme Sage came from inside: "Do not panic. It is rare to find a place where they can relieve their pent-up emotions. Let them make a fuss."

Zhao Yifu was taken aback, then replied with a bitter expression.

He made this unnecessary trip.

But then the Sage Taiqing said, "Also, don't let anyone disturb them."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yifu immediately became serious, feeling that this might be his most important task.
