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

Chapter 446 Monkey King Becomes the Hidden Boss of the Dragon Palace?
It seems they are more focused on guiding than pushing.

Of course, it will still be quite difficult to go down to the East Sea and the Underworld, where 100,000 heavenly soldiers will attack.

Then the problem is coming.

Should they side with Monkey King, or with the East Sea, the Underworld, and the Heavenly Court?
After all, the East Sea series, the Underworld series, and the Heavenly Court series of scrolls already exist.

We can't just fight among ourselves, can we?
Fighting the King of Hell with the King of Hell? Fighting the Dragon King with the Dragon King?
From a certain perspective, it seems more reasonable for them to stand on the "opposite side" of Monkey King.

Of course, the first-generation domain instance is free; you can stand on either side as you like.

The key is how to steer the plot onto the "right" path.

On Monkey King's side, he was still the same carefree and happy monkey, especially after returning from his apprenticeship, his eyes had gained a touch more spirituality and divinity.

His eyes held a hint of melancholy because of the previous massacre of the monkey troop.

While exchanging pleasantries and catching up with Brother Monkey, the conversation naturally turned to their preferred weapons.

Monkey King played with his broadsword, but the more he played with it, the less interesting it became. So he simply threw the broadsword away and asked Wu Xian for advice, "Young master, in your opinion, what weapon would be more suitable for me, Old Sun?"

Upon hearing this, the people around him offered their suggestions.

“A real man definitely uses a sword, isn’t it? Using a sword is so cool!” Du Yifan suggested.

“Does Monkey King look like someone who likes to use swords?” Wang Xiaocong retorted. “In my opinion, spears and lances are more useful, as they are more expansive and suit Monkey King’s style.”

“There’s nothing new here,” Tang Beng said, “In my opinion, our mechanical department’s super-powerful cannons are much more practical. Once the monkey troop is equipped with them, who would dare to invade?”

"..." Everyone was speechless.

"Brother Tang Beng, stop joking," Zhou Qi said irritably. "Do you see any mechanical or technological elements in our Flower Fruit Mountain?"

Huang Lili agreed, saying, "Isn't this just pure nonsense?"

Tang Beng pouted sullenly, "Anyway, I think it's very suitable."

Wu Xian was speechless at Tang Beng's terrible idea.

But on second thought, it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

Although the Monkey King himself might not be the most suitable, his monkey followers can certainly be chosen.

Of course, normal weapon scrolls cannot be given to dungeon NPCs. To achieve this goal, we still need to rely on Wang Xiaocong's special weapon scroll idea.

Let's try it again. In the future, when the Heavenly Army invades, it will give the monkeys and their descendants the ability to resist.

"I've heard that the Dragon King of the East Sea has countless treasures. Perhaps we could ask him for a suitable weapon?" Wu Xian pretended to be a plot NPC and began to advance the story.

"The Dragon King of the East Sea?" Monkey King's eyes darted around, eager to try.

After all, they're old neighbors, so "borrowing" a weapon isn't unreasonable, right? And maybe throw in a set of armor along with it?

On the other hand, everyone in the club was stunned by Wu Xian's words.

"The Dragon Palace of the East Sea? Isn't that our territory?" Zhou Qi and the others exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on?"

The senior sister looked at her strangely, "Don't tell me there's such a thing as plot connections between these realm scrolls?"

Wu Xian grinned, "We're all ideas under the same sky, isn't it normal for us to have some exchanges and interactions?"

"..." Xue Lingling was secretly alarmed.

At least to her knowledge, she had never heard of such a thing.

"Thank you for the reminder, young master," Monkey King said enthusiastically. "I'll go and pay a visit to the Dragon King of the East Sea right away. Please wait a moment, young master and my benefactors. I'll be right back."

Having said that, it shot off towards the East China Sea with a whoosh.

Wu Xian and his group followed enthusiastically to the shore, awaiting further developments.

"Get ready, because all sorts of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and marine monsters are likely to appear in this area soon," Wu Xian warned.

Everyone prepared for battle.

"By the way, Father God, I noticed that the little monkey keeps calling me 'Old Sun,' does he have a name now?" Huang Lili asked curiously, and the others also cast curious glances at her.

“Sun Wukong,” Wu Xian nodded and smiled, “is the name his master gave him when he became an apprentice.”

“Sun Wukong?” Zhou Qi and the others murmured softly. “A good name. The person who named him must be quite cultured. It doesn’t seem like a name that was just randomly chosen.”

“Indeed.” Tang Beng wholeheartedly agreed.

As they were talking, a sudden gale arose on the distant sea, the waves surged, and the sky darkened abruptly.

"A fight broke out?" The club members were excited and inexplicably thrilled.

"Would it be inappropriate for me to use the Dragon Palace series of scrolls now?"

"What do you say?"

At this moment, Wu Xian's expression suddenly changed drastically, because he could clearly feel that the power of the entire Flower Fruit Mountain instance was undergoing a violent change, and the Flower Fruit Mountain domain scroll was also changing violently.

"What's going on?" Shocked, he hurriedly inquired of the will of the God of Wealth in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The God of Wealth was clearly startled by the commotion, exclaiming in amazement, "Hiss~ This is... What a magnificent scroll world, truly mysterious and extraordinary."

Just as Wu Xian was about to ask further, the next second, the Flower Fruit Mountain domain imprint in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly sprouted a series of heaven and earth laws, which wrapped around and connected to the Four Seas Dragon Palace domain imprint on the other side.

Outside the instance, inside the domain hall.

The two scrolls of the realm emitted a dazzling light and generated a wondrous energy resonance, spontaneously creating a connection between the realms.

This scene left many club members who remained in the lobby speechless.

"What happened? Did the plot move forward successfully?"

"What does the plot development have to do with the Four Seas Dragon Palace?"

"Who knows? Anyway, our vice president's scrolls have always been unpredictable."

"Perhaps the vice president is making some big moves."

"I see that neither of the two domain scrolls is damaged; in fact, they seem to be improving."

……

Within the Flower Fruit Mountain instance.

Wu Xian's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty, and his scalp tingled.

"We...we...we got through?!"

If he wasn't mistaken, it seemed that Flower Fruit Mountain and the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas had been connected.

What... what's going on here?
The people at the nearby club were completely bewildered. "What? It's been connected?"

"It seems that some kind of peculiar territorial connection has been established between Flower Fruit Mountain and the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas?" Wu Xian's expression was strange.

"Huh?" Xue Lingling and the others exclaimed in unison.

And on the other side at this time.

Endless seas, outposts of the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.

The Fang of the Ocean, which guards the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, has been in a good mood lately.

Living in such a beautiful palace every day makes me inexplicably happy, and even my energy and spirit are different from before.

Moreover, he could vaguely sense that the power framework of the Four Seas Dragon Palace outpost had also optimized and enhanced his power to a certain extent.

In short, he no longer wants to leave.

As long as his main body is at the [Deep Sea Maze] training ground, this clone can cultivate here, which will allow him to grow and improve faster in the future.

But just now.

The power of heaven and earth at the Four Seas Dragon Palace outpost suddenly began to stir and become chaotic for no apparent reason.

At first, it was thought that the suppressing seal on the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle Iron" side had loosened.

Upon closer inspection, however, it seemed somewhat different; it was more as if the Four Seas Dragon Palace outpost itself had undergone some kind of evolution and improvement. "Wait, why is the power of heaven and earth in my endless seas also starting to disappear out of thin air?"

Although the loss was not severe, as the true god of this world, he could clearly feel that the endless sea seemed to be connected to some magical place in the dark, or rather, that some kind of "channel" had been opened.

The crucial point is that, despite his abilities, he couldn't find the "passage" at all.

"What is Wu Xian up to?" Canghai Zhiya frowned, his face grave. "Or is it the heavens playing tricks?"

……

"What do you mean by 'opening up', Brother Xian?" Du Yifan asked with a strange expression. "Does it mean that we can go directly to the Four Seas Dragon Palace instance from this sea?"

"We probably can't get through," Wu Xian pondered.

Tang Beng and the others were startled. "Does that mean Brother Monkey has gone?"

Wu Xian remained silent. "Let's go, let's go take a look at the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

After saying that, he led everyone out of the Flower Fruit Mountain instance.

Seeing the two domain scrolls that had already established a connection and resonance in the domain hall, Wu Xian felt inexplicably complicated.

This rhythm and this trend... something's not right.

I'm afraid they're going to send them to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas to be "villains"!

"They actually established a connection?" Xue Lingling exclaimed in amazement.

Just then, several new members who were experiencing the Four Seas Dragon Palace instance suddenly appeared next to the [Four Seas Dragon Palace] scroll, each with a blank expression and lingering fear.

Just moments ago, while they were immersed in and experiencing the Four Seas Dragon Palace instance, they were suddenly attacked by a monkey that appeared out of nowhere, leaving them completely disoriented.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they were all wiped out.

"What happened inside?" Wu Xian asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. Suddenly there was a strange movement in the sky and earth, and then a powerful monkey appeared, and then we were sent out."

"..." Zhou Qi and the others were shocked. "Wow, Brother Monkey really went there."

"Oh no, oh no, who should we help?"

"It doesn't feel right to help either side?"

"The key question is, can we even beat Monkey King?"

This statement immediately silenced everyone.

As they were talking, Wu Xian had already started the fourth-tier difficulty dungeon of the Four Seas Dragon Palace. The Four Seas Dragon Palace was not the original version and there was no plot progression involved; it was simply an increase in dungeon difficulty and a change in dungeon area.

He then led everyone into the Four Seas Dragon Palace instance.

Sure enough, there was a monkey causing trouble in the sea, bullying the shrimp soldiers and crab generals while also dealing with some extraterrestrial monsters gathered in the dungeon.

The good news is that the monkey here doesn't recognize these "benefactors".

After all, the Monkey King here was formed by using the energy of this other world and the power of the dungeon.

The bad news is that Monkey King seems to have become the "hidden boss" of the East Sea Dragon Palace dungeon.

Wu Xian and the others had strange expressions and remained silent.

It's not that I don't want to speak, but rather that I don't know what to say.

"Strange, wasn't the East Sea Dragon Palace supposed to be quite wealthy? How did it become such a chaotic mess?" Monkey King frowned. "Where is the old Dragon King?"

"Summon your Dragon King! I, Old Sun, want to have a word with him!"

Monkey King continued to cause trouble in the Dragon Palace, stirring up the sea and causing the Dragon Palace to tremble.

Wu Xian's face stiffened.

The question is, what should the plot do next?
Normally, the magic staff would be handed over to Monkey King, so that the plot of Flower Fruit Mountain could be advanced.

The problem is that if the Sea-Stabilizing Needle is lost, it may affect the suppression and seal at the Four Seas Dragon Palace outpost.

At this point, the plot of Flower Fruit Mountain seems to have stalled.

At this moment, the plot of Flower Fruit Mountain is undoubtedly caught in a dilemma.

From a security perspective, it would be safer to develop the Four Seas Dragon Palace outpost first, and then send out the Stabilizing Needle.

Before that, they had to face the Monkey King BOSS, who could "respawn" at any time.

This directly raised the difficulty of the [Four Seas Dragon Palace] dungeon to an unbelievable level.

The good news is that if you can defeat the hidden boss here, Monkey King, you're guaranteed to get the materials needed to craft Monkey King.

The bad news is that Monkey King is quite strong.

"Is this a move to protect the Dragon Palace and fight against Monkey King?" Zhou Qi asked with a strange expression.

"seems like it."

"It seems that we can't make any progress on Flower Fruit Mountain until the Four Seas Dragon Palace outpost is developed," Wu Xian sighed helplessly. "In that case, let's take down Monkey King here first."

As he spoke, two scrolls depicting the Pleiades Star Lord and the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang appeared.

Seeing this, everyone released their scrolls, preparing for battle.

They just had weird expressions.

After all, they were people who had a certain "bond" with Monkey King, so it was really hard for them to suddenly stand on the opposite side.

"It's not like it's the real Monkey King, you'll get used to it," Wu Xian comforted him. "There should be a similar wave in the underworld in the future."

"Huh?" Xue Lingling was stunned: "There's a storyline connection with the underworld too?"

Wu Xian helplessly shrugged.

Moreover, compared to the East Sea, the underworld fought even more fiercely.

Of course, what's even more ruthless is the upcoming [Heavenly Court] realm instance, but the current Heavenly Court instance hasn't been released yet.

"Ready to fight!"

At this moment, Monkey King had obviously discovered them and mistook them for soldiers in the Dragon Palace.

Upon seeing them, a fleeting hint of inexplicable hesitation and self-doubt flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Clearly, the events at Flower Fruit Mountain are having some impact on the Monkey King that has respawned here.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is how to subdue this monkey in front of you.

On the East Sea Dragon King's side, the Dragon Palace dungeon felt like home, and with the home advantage, their combat power was directly boosted to a whole new level.

Along with some of the club's underlings, such as the Dragon Princess, the Dragon Prince, and the Sea Yaksha, they engaged in a chaotic battle with Monkey King.

Unfortunately, the Monkey King was too fierce.

Even with only the power of a Tier 4 dungeon, it is still terrifyingly powerful.

He single-handedly fought against so many people in the club, holding his own without even using his full strength.

It was only after the Jade Scroll Pleiades Star Lord joined the battle that they truly began to take the situation seriously.

Whoosh...

Once the external avatar was activated, thousands of Monkey King clones appeared, completely suppressing everyone in the club, while the main body clashed head-on with the Pleiades Star Lord controlled by Wu Xian.

Although Monkey King is still fighting bare-handed and doesn't have the Golden Cudgel as his "special weapon," his combat power is still undeniable.

Although the Jade Scroll Pleiades Star Lord has transformed into a god, his superior abilities cannot be demonstrated in front of Monkey King, a "hexagonal warrior".

He's going head-to-head with the Monkey King purely based on the attributes of the god-level scroll and his raw strength.
