Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 259: Demonic Festival
Zhao Yifu felt quite painful because his will was still fighting against the magic power of the demon.

His emotions and desires were constantly being catalyzed. This simple and crude method seemed to be the punishment from the demon for him leaving the Demon Kingdom, catalyzing his desires to the extreme.

But he was able to stay awake, which was amazing.

The reason is that he has been accustomed to all kinds of messy movements in his mind for a long time, and now it only makes his mind more chaotic.

After living in such a chaotic and noisy mental fluctuation for a long time, he had already unknowingly mastered how to distinguish between his own heart and external will.

At this moment, if he took one more step, he would hide his true heart deeper and make distinctions more clearly.

At the same time, his goal was achieved. The chaotic emotions that were aroused really resisted the eternal resentment of the Taixu Forbidden Book.

Sure enough, fighting poison with poison can work.

For Zhao Yifu, this has actually achieved the basic goal.

And he's doing well enough to hold on so far.

The only bad thing is that the emotions that were elicited did not seem to last long and were slowly fading away.

Zhao Yifu was a little anxious about this. Is there no other solution? If this is the only solution, it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Worried in his heart, Moro looked away.

Obviously, in the eyes of this demon lord, he is already in his pocket.

At this moment, Zhao Yifu felt that there were many evil shadows around him.

He realized that it was the devil coming!

It was the demon from outside the domain that was attracted by the emotions and desires that erupted from his side, and was coming to devour his soul.

Zhao Yifu was a little hesitant about this, but he always felt that this might be a turning point.

Moreover, although he could not do anything at this time, the mysterious ancestor beside him was his guarantee.

Then he let go completely.

Just as the demon suddenly entered his spiritual orifice, it was about to feast on him with a strange laugh...

Then the demon was dumbfounded.

Because what lay before it wasn't a rich, intense desire, but a chaotic mess of age-old grudges, the hatred of living beings, and the demonic thoughts of Golden Immortals. They tangled together, stirring its beloved desire into a pot of mushy mush...

It felt like having excellent ingredients but forcibly adding all kinds of 'dark matter' to the food, turning it into a big lump of inedible mush.

The invading demon wanted to run away immediately, but Zhao Yi Fu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the demon who wanted to escape... then he swung the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword at his waist and slashed it down!
The core of this Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword is the demon in the heart of the Pure Yang Patriarch, which can be used to slay the demon.

At the same time, Zhao Yifu didn't care whether it was useful or not, he directly started the secret method of blood sacrifice... In his opinion, the Killing Knife can sacrifice all living things and even souls, so there is no reason why the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Sword cannot be used to sacrifice the Heavenly Demon?
Of course, the most important thing is the pure yang true fire.

The real fire was ignited, and the demon was roasted to the point of sizzling.

Then a faint light was released from the sword's edge, swallowing up the demon completely... without leaving even a trace of it.

At the same time, Zhao Yifu could feel that the 'Pure Yang Demon' in the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword had been greatly nourished, and thus had become much stronger.

That devil even wanted to stab him...

Zhao Yi Fu did not tolerate it at all and immediately threw it in front of Taixu Forbidden Book.

Coupled with the Killing Sword, which has been greatly enhanced during this period, as a blending agent...

Wow, it’s lively again!

The perfect triangle balance appeared again, and Zhao Yifu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's safe, it's safe. He finally managed to survive this time.

Although the price of returning to the mind and the demon kingdom is a bit high, it is worth it.

Zhao Yifu came back to his senses and looked at the mysterious young man beside him who was watching him meticulously. He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, Grandmaster. If it weren't for your help, I would have been in great danger."

He felt that his success must have been due to the intervention of this ancestor.

However, the mysterious young man shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything. You did it all by yourself. Very good... very good!"

Zhao Yifu was surprised, but before he could say anything, he felt the gaze that had just been moved away came back again!
This time, there was anger in Moro's eyes, and he seemed a little frustrated.

A roaring ghost face seemed to appear in the void, trying to ignite Zhao Yifu's desires and emotions again, and chaotic images began to appear in his mind... those were all illusions.

But for Zhao Yifu, all of that only existed on the surface of his mind.

It was as if the conflict between the three magic weapons only existed on the surface of his mind, while the lake of his true self was calm and peaceful.

However, seeing that the demon lord was so angry, he was still a little panicked.

At this moment, the mysterious young man beside him said coldly: "Bo Xun, this is my Taiqing Sect disciple, get out!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and actually dispersed the devil's face in the invisible realm.

Zhao Yifu's consciousness was instantly restored.

He said with surprise: "The master's power is boundless!"

That expression seems to be saying: You still say you are helping me?
The mysterious young man laughed and said, "You are just a monkey."

"But I never thought you actually possessed the qualifications of an Awakened One... Why don't you let me wash off all this mess from you, and then come back with me to Taiqing Palace to practice in peace and quiet. Sooner or later, you'll be able to cultivate a free and unfettered body."

Zhao Yifu couldn't help but ask, "The killing knife is fine, but what about the sword and the book?"

The mysterious young man said, "Let's go back to where we came from. How can you let the younger generation suffer for you when you can't solve your own demons?"

Zhao Yifu quickly shook his head after hearing this and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'm fine the way I am now. Let's just leave it at that."

He felt that Mu Lu's cultivation had improved greatly recently, and even if Mu Lu [Yang] returned to his original form, he could maintain it for a while, but the evil thoughts of his own ancestor Fuyou had been "inflated" by him!

If he returns, his beloved ancestor will be gone!
Forget it, I'll just carry it myself.

The mysterious young man smiled and said, "Well, you are indeed an outstanding disciple of my Taiqing lineage. In that case, are you willing to take on another mission?"

Zhao Yifu didn't hesitate after hearing this. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master, please give your instructions."

The mysterious young man said, "I want you to go undercover."

Zhao Yifu: ...

Perhaps because there had been so much preparation before, when he really heard this request, he thought it was very normal.

He said, "But I'm afraid that Mara has already known that there is something wrong with me."

After all, the helpless and furious look of Moro just now is still vivid in my mind.

The mysterious young man laughed and said, "Mana is always bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When he really can't do anything to you, he will just retreat."

"Besides, He might not know that you are already capable of escaping the Demonic Kingdom. That's why I intervened just now."

Zhao Yifu nodded in understanding, then said, "Then I wonder how the Grandmaster wants me to go undercover?"

The mysterious young man said, "You just need to pretend that you are constantly being disturbed by evil thoughts."

"As for the person you're going undercover for... I must explain. Their background is probably quite shocking."

Zhao Yifu swallowed hard, feeling that he was involved in a major event.

But in order to hold on to his thigh tightly, he still said firmly: "Please ask the master for instructions."

He has learned from his experiences over the years that if he wants to live a good life, he must hold on to every leg that reaches out to him.

The mysterious young man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I will tell you about the origins of this demon god behind the scenes."

"Before the creation of heaven and earth, before chaos even formed, there was boundless primordial darkness. At some point, a long river emerged from this primordial darkness, and all life began with this long river."

"Then, chaos was conceived within the long river, and this was the birth of the foundation of the world."

"There's no need to elaborate on the creation of the world. Even after the creation of the world, this long river of primordial darkness, due to the chaotic thoughts of the living beings, gave birth to intelligence and a great god."

"This great god is called Youquan. He should be considered the ancestor of all things and should be extremely noble. But who knew that he would have the intention to fight for the orthodoxy of heaven and earth, and has been fighting with the Heavenly Court and the Taoist sect for a long time."

Zhao Yifu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Could it be that the previous Fatian Army was organized by this Youquan?"

The mysterious young man nodded, but didn't elaborate further. He simply continued, "Due to the nature of the Dark Spring, every time it stirs up chaos, it can be called a catastrophe of heaven and earth."

"I don't want you to stay by His side to stop Him, or even to risk passing on information. I simply hope you can observe and study Him carefully until you feel the time is right or there's danger. You can choose to leave at any time."

"I am from the Taiqing lineage and will endorse you."

Zhao Yifu was very excited after hearing this. This basically meant that he would not be under performance pressure.

However, there was one thing he still wanted to ask: "Master, since Youquan is so powerful, can he see my problem..."

The mysterious young man said, "Youquan is not in this world. He simply uses his power to influence this world."

"So don't worry, He can't actually see through your problems."

Zhao Yi Fu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, which means the other party is just deaf and blind?

That would be much easier to handle.

Zhao Yifu understood clearly and said, "If that's the case, I understand. I'm willing to do it."

The mysterious young man nodded with satisfaction, then hesitated for a moment before adding, "Although you are approaching Youquan on my orders, you must be on your own from now on."

"The Taiqing lineage can endorse your identity, but it cannot completely eliminate your karma, nor can it cultivate your Dao heart for you."

After hearing this, Zhao Yifu immediately understood that this was the ancestor's reminder.

He quickly said, "Disciple understands and will definitely not let the master worry about me."

The mysterious young man nodded in satisfaction, then fumbled around and pulled out a jade pendant. "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything else with me. This jade pendant isn't anything special, but it's my token of love. It might be useful to you."

Zhao Yifu quickly thanked him and accepted it.

However, when I lowered my head and looked up again, I found that there was no one in front of me.
Zhao Yifu was disappointed, but then he quickly unfolded the summoning map and asked, "Grandmaster, who is that ancestor wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe? Why have I never seen or heard of him?"

There will be a reply in seconds.

The figure of Patriarch Fuyou appeared on the map of the summoning spirits and exclaimed, "What a blessing! This is the eldest brother coming in person. You have met an honorable person."

Zhao Yifu was surprised and said, "Who is this..."

Patriarch Fuyou said, "Who else could this be the eldest brother of the Taiqing lineage?"

"Besides, he is the only second-generation direct descendant of my Taiqing lineage. The Eight Immortals like me can only be considered as outer disciples."

"You must seize the opportunity."

The master spoke with great sincerity.

Zhao Yifu nodded seriously after hearing this.

It looks like he has really embraced a big and thick leg this time!
Zhao Yifu's mood immediately brightened.

Indeed, many problems can be solved well if you are with this person.

He no longer had to worry about what would happen if all the messy things in his spiritual orifice gathered together. Senior Brother Taiqing would definitely have a way.

For some reason, the string that had been tense in his mind suddenly loosened, and then all kinds of ideas popped up in his mind like crazy.

He couldn't help laughing foolishly, then got up and ran outside.

"Cough cough."

He coughed dryly.

Then he felt that the corners of his mouth shouldn't be so upturned, so he tried hard to press them down.

When he returned to Baiyun Mountain, he found that he was not at home, and sure enough, the cat at home started to make a fuss.

They seem to be fighting?
Several of them have bald spots, especially Achou, whose head hair has been plucked out in large patches.

And Ah Chou seemed a little depressed, a cat was curled up in the corner drawing circles...

Zhao Yifu asked curiously, "What happened to Ah Chou?"

Hua Da Nv raised her chubby face and meowed in a displeased manner.

Zhao Yifu has a basic understanding of the cat language after spending so many years with them.

Well, if I translate what Hua Da Niu said, it basically means: A certain cat is ugly and likes to act weird, it really doesn't know its own weight, etc...

Zhao Yi Fu reached out and grabbed Hua Da Nv's head twice, then picked up Ah Chou, who had a bald spot on his head, and started rubbing it.

"You are all my good cats, so don't fight with each other in the future."

"If I'm not at home in the future, you should listen to Yiyi and stop arguing all day long."

Yiyi raised her head and looked at the group of troublesome cats with displeasure. She had already told them to stop making trouble.

It was so happy that it couldn't suppress the smile, feeling that its master still relied on it the most.

Speaking of which, the feeling the master gave people after returning from his trip this time was completely different!
Yiyi became a little obsessed when looking at Zhao Yifu's face.

It felt a very unique magic in Zhao Yifu, like a star in the dark night, which caught its eyes firmly.

In fact, it wasn't just him. The other cats weren't much better either. They all looked at Zhao Yifu with starry eyes, thinking that their master was really good-looking today...

This is the price of being possessed by a demon... Well, let's call it a price, it is the natural generation of the most primitive charm.

The one who felt it the most was Achou. He had been rubbed into mud. Looking at that seductive face, he had completely forgotten who he was.

It’s terrible. Zhao Yifu is not returning to the Demon Realm at all. He is simply going for a cosmetic surgery... Will he really turn into a succubus in the end?

Zhao Yifu rubbed his hands proudly... Not long after, he felt the gaze from the invisible world again.

That was the gaze of Mara. After leaving the protection of Senior Brother Taiqing, Zhao Yifu was exposed to his sight again.

Under this kind of scrutiny, he felt himself becoming extremely sensitive, as if any changes around him could cause his emotions to fluctuate.

Particularly delicate, rich, and amplified emotional fluctuations—this is the effect brought about by the demon's gaze.

Zhao Yi Fu knew what was going on. This was the demon trying to drag him into the abyss of evil.

but……

Zhao Yifu accepted all of this, because he found that his violent emotional fluctuations were particularly likely to attract the visitation of the demon...

As for things like the Heavenly Demon, they are very troublesome, but they are also very weak.

Just then, another demon couldn't help but drill into his spiritual orifice and then fell into the quagmire.

The demon was stunned when it entered his spiritual orifice. How could there be so many messed up things in this person's mind?
Its mission is to seduce people into depravity, but its "whisper of the soul" was completely drowned out by the noise. Zhao Yifu couldn't hear a single word of it.

What was even more fatal was that Zhao Yi Fu mobilized the sword energy of the Pure Yang Demon Subduing Sword to kill him with one sword, and then he became a sacrifice to the sword.

This is a very confusing matter. Zhao Yifu is in the Demon Realm because Mo Luo wants him to be there, but now it seems that he treats the Demon Realm as his own fish pond, fishing for demons here!
Then the high and mighty Mo Luo also felt helpless. Similarly, he was in an invisible place outside this world and could not have any more direct impact on Zhao Yifu.

It was during this stalemate that an uninvited guest came to the door.

This was an old monk with his eyes covered by a black belt. He came to Zhao Yifu with a bowl in his hand.

Yes, he appeared in front of Zhao Yifu, ignoring the illusion arrays outside.

Zhao Yifu's mind suddenly became tense. He asked, "Who are you?"

The blind old monk said calmly, "Old monk, the spirit is quiet."

"You should have felt the power of the great ancestral gods. What are your thoughts?"

Zhao Yifu suddenly thought of something and said, "Did you release the evil energy beneath Liaocheng?"

Monk Lingji said calmly, "Indeed, I have faintly sensed the presence of that power within you, the donor. It seems you have chosen to use yourself as a vessel to receive it... So, how does it feel to walk alongside the power of the Great One?"

Zhao Yifu's eyes fixed, and then he rushed towards the old monk: "Fuck!"

No more nonsense, just fight first.
