Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 197 Conquering the Mysterious Abyss
Xue Lingling was skeptical, but she immediately tried to connect the two sets of illustrations.

Who would have thought that the two scrolls of art from different fields would easily establish a connection and resonance with each other with just a touch, as if they were made by heaven.

"Really?" Xue Lingling was overjoyed. "No wonder we're master and disciple. Now we don't have to be separated into two separate outposts."

Given the current state of the Underworld Club, it is clear that it cannot sustain two outposts.

Now that the two fields have found common ground, they can be placed together, communicate with each other, and grow and progress together.

Afterwards, the group followed Xue Lingling to personally visit and experience the scenery of Taozhi Mountain.

It's absolutely the perfect fill for the background map of the underworld.

The two major themes are now ready.

Next came the crucial historical step: conquering the otherworld and establishing a territory to settle within the Domain Scroll.

This is also an important step for the club to move from the Silver tier to the Gold tier.

This is also an important milestone in the development of Yaoyang City.

Mayor Chen Shilong naturally gave his full support, and the association did not hesitate at all, directly dispatching a large number of troops to support the establishment of Yaoyang City's first interdimensional outpost.

Even Chen Shilong and Cui Wenxuan personally took charge.

Not only these two, but also Grandpa Wang Fengnian was brought over by Wang Xiaocong, who used his prestige in the military to mobilize the troops of the Mysterious Abyss Defense Line to cooperate throughout the process.

This day is destined to be recorded in the "County Annals" of Yaoyang City.

Outside the North Dimensional Port in Yaoyang City, a crowd gathered.

Many spirit masters and citizens who received the news rushed over early to support the operation.

As the news spread, more and more people spontaneously came to offer their support.

It can be said that the military, government, and people are of one mind.

Vice President Huang, who was helping out along the way, was also deeply moved by the scene.

After all, it is the first otherworldly outpost in the entire city, carrying the hopes of everyone.

Outside the controlled area of ​​the eerie abyss, at the interdimensional rift of the eerie abyss, a large army has gathered, its head thronging, and the surrounding monsters dare not approach.

"Are you sure you want to place it in the Abyss of the Strange?" Cui Wenxuan and Chen Shilong couldn't help but confirm again. "The competition in the Abyss of the Strange is quite fierce. Almost all the top necromancy domains have set up their operations here."

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling exchanged a glance and nodded firmly.

Just kidding, they're targeting the elite.

The Underworld, a dignified realm, is it afraid of losing out to other undead domains?

This will make it easier to integrate other undead domains later on.

"In that case, let's take action."

Cui Wenxuan smiled slightly and gave an order, and the main elites rushed into the strange abyss rift.

The People's Alliance and various other forces stayed behind to guard the outside of the breach.

After all, the conquest of other worlds will inevitably trigger a strong counterattack and invasion from other world forces.

To put it bluntly, conquering a territory is easy; the difficulty lies in the series of troubles that arise from it, and the subsequent defense of the territory.

“Actually, there’s no need to be so nervous,” Vice President Huang joked. “As far as I know, the location of your Yaoyang City’s Rift in the Mysterious Divine Realm is relatively remote, so the difficulty of conquering it is not very high.”

"When the time comes, Xiao Wu will just release your god-level undead, and that will solve half the problem."

"It's a bit off-track, but it's not necessarily simple," Cui Wenxuan said meaningfully.

"Oh?" Vice President Huang asked, puzzled. "Could there be other factors involved?"

Cui Wenxuan remained noncommittal, only glancing at Chen Shilong beside him.

Chen Shilong remained calm, seemingly somewhat embarrassed, and said, "We might encounter some evil god scroll painters."

Upon hearing this, Vice President Huang became serious. "I almost forgot about this. The pollution in your Yaoyang City is so severe that it is indeed easy to attract evil god scroll painters."

However, with Elder Cui around, they can keep those evil scroll painters in check.

As they spoke, the group had already entered the truly bizarre and mysterious abyss.

Looking around, they saw a desolate, ghostly landscape. The sky was dark and gloomy, and the ground was littered with the bones of wandering spirits. The jagged, eerie mountains, like the claws of demons, stretched across the land. Before long, strange gusts of wind swept towards them, accompanied by the incessant wails of evil spirits.

Cui Wenxuan calmly released the Nine-Star Jade Scroll, dressed in white, holding a sword, exuding an otherworldly aura.

A powerful aura emanated from the area, and the surroundings immediately became much quieter.

Wu Xian couldn't help but take a closer look at this jade scroll spirit. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be similar to Xu Lu's [Evil-Suppressing Guardian] set.

Judging from that powerful aura and fluctuations, he was at least a powerful figure about to ascend to the Great Ascension stage.

There was a vague sense of déjà vu in Wu Xian's mind.

"President Cui, may I ask what this jade scroll of yours is called?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

Cui Wenxuan smiled slightly and said, "The Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master - Lü Xiaoyao!"

Wu Xian appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he gasped.

Goodness, this sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger.

Recalling the scene of severing the Wang family's scroll painter's soul with a single sword strike not long ago, no wonder he is so powerful; it turns out he has caught the shadow of that big shot.

Although it is still quite different from the real Lü Zu, the similarity and completion are at least 30-40%.

If I were to find a way to "give him some pointers" later, it would be like having Lu Zu, a master of jade axes, reincarnated. Just thinking about it is exhilarating.

"Tsk tsk, how could such a dashing figure be without wine?"

Wu Xian observed the demeanor of this evil-suppressing immortal master and spoke with feeling.

"Ok?"

A strange light flickered in Cui Wenxuan's eyes, and he fell into deep thought.

In contrast, the others clearly didn't take Wu Xian's words to heart, treating them merely as a simple remark.

Only Cui Wenxuan knew what kind of inspiration this seemingly casual remark had brought him.

He had always thought that his idea of ​​the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master was perfected, but Wu Xian's words rekindled his inspiration and ideas.

Just that one sentence made his trip worthwhile.

Perhaps this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?

Just like the mathematics community in the past, the research and efforts of mathematicians today may only save a mathematical genius an afternoon someday in the future.

Perhaps not even an afternoon, just a few minutes.

In fact, for Wu Xian, transforming Cui Wenxuan's idea into the real Lu Zu only took a few minutes.

This is the biggest difference between him and the indigenous scroll painters.

“Hmm~ I think this place is pretty good,” Vice President Huang said, looking around at the terrain and scenery. “It’s not too deep, and the terrain is quite good, just right.”

"It's really good." Chen Shilong nodded thoughtfully, but a hint of worry was clearly visible in his eyes. "Should we look around some more and choose a few more places?"

“That works, after all, it’s such an important matter.” Vice President Huang nodded in agreement.

“I think this place is quite nice,” Cui Wenxuan said with a smile. “The kids’ club is just starting out, and this place is just right.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Shilong seemed somewhat helpless and stiff, and said nothing more.

After a brief observation, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling also felt that this place was quite nice.

"My little grand-disciple, Lingling, what do you two think?" Cui Wenxuan asked with a smile.

"Okay." The two nodded in unison.

Just then, a familiar young figure approached them.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Bai Shiqi, the prodigy of the dojo.

"Brother Wu, Chairman Xue, what's going on here...?" Bai Shiqi looked at the impressive lineup in front of him and was secretly shocked.

"Preparing to set up an outpost," Wu Xian said, also looking surprised. "Why is Brother Bai here too?"

"An outpost?" Shiraishi Qi was stunned and astonished. "You...you've already drawn the Domain Scroll?"
