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

Chapter 519 Director Monkey King Goes to the Underworld

Unsurprisingly, all the forces currently stationed in Huaguo Mountain New World have noticed this strange phenomenon.

They are rushing towards the club at this moment, all thinking that something has happened to this new place.

However, upon arriving at the scene, they were completely bewildered by the strange phenomenon before them.

"What's going on? A divine projection? It doesn't seem like it."

"It looks like a projection of an otherworldly outpost from the Ghost Realm."

"It looks like the Underworld Club's [Netherworld] outpost!"

At the Necromancer's Guild, the Zhao family patriarch and Zhao Qinghe's group quickly recognized the Underworld Outpost. After all, when they were copying the Underworld Outpost's procedures, they had visited the Underworld Outpost in the Hero Tower quite a bit.

They were all too familiar with the sights and appearance of the underworld outpost.

"A hellish outpost? What's this for?"

"I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all!"

Other groups of people also gradually recognized the underworld outpost in the strange projection.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a high-end foot massage parlor in the newly built urban area surrounding the club.

The four True Gods were looking at the academy concept drawings that Ma Tengyun had rushed to produce and commenting on them with great satisfaction.

“Not bad, not bad, let’s build it like this from now on,” the Azure Tree King said with satisfaction. “But there could be more greenery and landscaping in the academy. After all, it is my academy, and it should highlight my characteristics.”

"Okay, I'll have someone revise it for you right away," Ma Tengyun replied with a smile, though he was secretly overjoyed.

The project for the four True God Academy has been secured; how could I not be excited?

The old man in the family is even preparing to come over in person to give guidance on the work.

After all, this is a major project that concerns the future of the Chamber of Commerce.

As long as they can latch onto the four powerful backers of the Four True Gods, the Wanrong Chamber of Commerce will have firmly secured its position as the number one chamber of commerce in the world.

“There’s no problem with the Elf Academy,” the Sky Emperor pondered, “but it just feels like something’s missing. Oh right, put another statue next to mine and have it interact with mine.”

"Make another statue?" Ma Tengyun asked, puzzled. "What kind of statue are you planning to sculpt?"

"What else could it be?" Canghai Zhiya said irritably, "His future goddess, that is, Wu Xian's scroll called Void Sun Rat."

"Huh?" Ma Tengyun's expression was strange.

I've always wondered why the Sky Emperor Spirit keeps calling me "Little Father-in-Law".

So that's what happened.

“Okay, no problem.” Ma Tengyun understood immediately. “We have already contacted a world-renowned sculptor. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.”

"Very good," the Sky Emperor said with satisfaction. "Speaking of which, what do you think of me and the Fairy Sister? Are we a good match?"

"They're a perfect match, absolutely a perfect match!" Ma Tengyun declared righteously. "They're a match made in heaven."

"Hahaha, I love to hear that."

Meanwhile, the Abyss Demon Lord was chatting with the human girl massaging his feet, asking, "Little girl, how many people are in your family?"

"My mom and dad, and I have a younger brother..." The foot massage girl tearfully recounted her tragic life story.

This made the Abyss Demon Lord's heart ache. "After so many days, you are the most pleasing to the eye, little girl. From now on, you will stay by my side and be my maid."

"Waaah, thank you so much, Your Majesty the True God!" The foot massage girl excitedly kowtowed on the spot to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, Ma Tengyun remained silent to himself.

Only the Abyss Demon Lord would believe such nonsense, but this little sister's background is indeed quite pitiful.

At this moment, a surge of restless energy from heaven and earth startled the four true gods, who all looked toward the direction of the Underworld Club.

Immediately afterward, the Abyss Demon Lord stood up in alarm, as if his tail had been stepped on. "What's going on? What is that kid Wu Xian up to now?"

"What's going on?" The three Sky Tree Kings asked, puzzled.

The Abyss Demon Lord's face was ashen as he said, "For some reason, this new world is frantically drawing upon the power of my Ghost Realm."

"Crazy? Extraction?" The three Azure Tree Kings had strange expressions.

It's understandable that Huaguoshan New World has been enjoying the benefits of the two other worlds, but what's with this crazy extraction?
"Damn it, they're going to beat me to death!"

The Abyss Demon Lord was heartbroken and his face contorted with rage. He immediately wanted to find Wu Xian and ask him what had happened.

……

Above the Underworld Club, people from various factions watched from afar, bewildered.

Some of these acquaintances couldn't help but come over and ask what was going on.

"What's going on?" Bai Shiqi asked in astonishment. "Isn't that your underworld outpost? How come it's suddenly projecting into a strange phenomenon?"

"This... I'm not quite sure either," Wu Xian pondered, "Could it be related to the advancement of the Flower Fruit Mountain Domain?"

"What does the advancement of Huaguo Mountain have to do with the Underworld outpost?" Bai Shiqi became more and more confused as he listened.

Wu Xian explained, "Brother Bai, you may not know this, but although my Flower Fruit Mountain Scroll is a scroll depicting heaven and earth, it is also an ancient domain scroll, and it is currently preparing to advance the next stage of the story."

"What? It's both a scroll depicting heaven and earth and a scroll depicting the ancient realm?" Bai Shiqi exclaimed in surprise. "But what does this have to do with the underworld?"

“Perhaps the plot at this stage is related to the underworld,” Wu Xian said ambiguously. “And when Huaguo Mountain was being developed, the underworld outposts were also incorporated into the story to some extent.”

"What...what?" Bai Shiqi was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Not only him, but Xu Cunxin, who was standing to the side, was also shocked.

They could roughly understand the meaning of Wu Xian's words, but each sentence was something they had never heard of before.

Standing to the side, the Xu family patriarch's eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "Elder Wu, could this Heaven and Earth Scroll be based on the idea of ​​incorporating and absorbing various other worlds?"

"I guess so," Wu Xian nodded.

"I see." As expected of a senior, the Xu family patriarch instantly understood the value of Huaguo Mountain New World.

"Anyway, nothing serious, everyone can go home now," Wu Xian said, reassuring everyone. "It's just that there might be some minor changes in this new world soon, so just be a little careful."

However, none of the people had any intention of leaving; their minds were filled with wonder and curiosity about this new world.

Seeing that the various groups of people didn't want to leave, Wu Xian didn't bother to say anything more.

Just as he led his men back to the club, ready to continue, the Abyss Demon Lord and three other True Gods suddenly appeared.

"Kid, what the hell are you doing!" the Abyss Demon Lord cursed, looking completely frantic.

"Senior Demon Lord, what's wrong with you?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"You are frantically draining the power of my Ghost Realm, so what do you mean by that?"

"Huh?" Wu Xian's expression was strange.

So the previously accumulated otherworldly energy was just a condition for activation; the real focus was on the subsequent frantic extraction of power from the strange realm.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't know this would happen," Wu Xian said, expressing his embarrassment and apology.

The Abyss Demon Lord's face was ashen as he said, "It's fine if you take a little here, but I'm worried that taking more will cause irreversible damage to the Ghost Realm."

"You can rest assured, it will definitely stop in a while," Wu Xian said.

Afterwards, I explained the progress of the Flower Fruit Mountain dungeon to the Abyss Demon Lord.

The four true gods became increasingly curious as they listened, and followed Wu Xian to the club's domain instance hall.

"It's just a plot advancement in a domain instance, yet it's causing such a stir?" The Sky Emperor Spirit clicked its tongue in amazement. "After all, it's set in the human world," said the Fang of the Vast Ocean. "A little commotion is to be expected."

"It's a pity we can't enter the human scroll instance," the Azure Tree King said with some regret.

Abyss Demon Lord: "By the way, you just said that this plot development will be linked to the Underworld Outpost?"

"should be."

"Interesting, then I shall observe this closely."

The Abyss Demon Lord was in high spirits and immediately sent his avatars, along with the three True Gods, to the outpost in the Ghost Realm to observe.

Soon after, the commotion in the Flower Fruit Mountain dungeon passage subsided, and the extraction of the power of heaven and earth from the Ghost Realm also stopped.

With this, the Tier 6 Flower Fruit Mountain dungeon is officially open.

Wu Xian and the others exchanged glances and entered the Flower Fruit Mountain instance together.

Everything before my eyes was still a familiar sight, only vaguely showing signs of the passage of time.

"The timeline seems to have jumped a long way," Master Sister analyzed.

“That’s right.” Wu Xian smiled slightly.

Secretly sensing through the Book of Life and Death, he indeed found the records of Monkey King and his monkey offspring, as well as the various monsters in Flower Fruit Mountain.

However, these materials are more like a "temporary archive," which can only be experienced within the copy.

As he predicted, Monkey King had lived to be 342 years old and was about to die peacefully in his old age.

"Should we go directly to Brother Monkey to discuss cooperation?" Xue Qingyang and the others were eager to try.

"No need," Wu Xian waved his hand and smiled, "Well... where are the Black and White Impermanence? Get ready to take their positions!"

The actor chosen to play the Black and White Impermanence was none other than our beloved Comrade Du Yifan.

"What do you mean? Is there anything I can do?" Du Yifan strode forward to ask for instructions.

“Monkey King’s lifespan has come to an end. Go and summon his soul.”

"..." Du Yifan was dumbfounded on the spot. "No, no, no, we Black and White Impermanence can't even beat the Monkey King in the third-tier dungeon. You want me to go and snatch the Monkey King's soul? Isn't that just sending me to my death?"

Wu Xian joked, "We're all old acquaintances, would Brother Monkey really kill you?"

“That’s true, but I’m afraid…” Du Yifan said nervously.

“Just go when I tell you to. Whether your bad debts from last time can be wiped clean depends entirely on this,” Wu Xian encouraged. “After it’s done, I guarantee you’ll live to be a hundred, or even a hundred years longer.”

"Is this really true?" Du Yifan's eyes lit up.

In the past, they would never have believed such a thing.

After experiencing a miraculous recovery, everyone had gained a certain understanding of the power of the Underworld Outpost.

“Not just you, but all the bad debts of those who died in battle can be wiped clean,” Wu Xian said. “Then everyone in our club will live to be a hundred years old.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's breathing quickened.

"Can you handle this, Lao Du? If not, let me do it!" A club member volunteered, "I'll just die again if necessary."

"Who do you think you are? I'll do it!"

Du Yifan was successfully provoked and, without saying a word, led the Black and White Impermanence towards the Water Curtain Cave.

Wu Xian then turned to the other members and said, "The actors who were arranged earlier, quickly go to the Underworld outpost and take your positions. Everyone, please do your job."

"Ok."

The actors accepted the order and went to their posts at the underworld outpost.

"My dear disciple, can my two Ghost Emperors make an appearance?" Master Sister asked with great interest. "With the current combat power of the two Ghost Emperors, they might be able to compete with Brother Monkey."

“…” Wu Xian shook his head and said, “You just need to hold back on your side.”

"Huh? What kind of participation is this?" Master Sister pouted.

But that's the truth.

When the Monkey King wreaked havoc in the underworld, the underworld's military couldn't have been unaware, yet they completely refrained from intervening.

In retrospect, the Five Ghost Emperors were probably secretly watching this spectacle and certainly reaped considerable benefits from Monkey King.

“Sometimes, remaining inactive is also an attitude, and also a form of participation,” Wu Xian patted his master’s shoulder.

Meanwhile, Du Yifan had already reached the Water Curtain Cave.

After activating the power of the Black and White Impermanence to investigate, they discovered that Monkey King's lifespan had indeed come to an end.

"I'm sorry, Brother Monkey."

After silently apologizing, he manipulated the Black and White Impermanence to draw out the soul of the sleeping Monkey King.

Monkey King's soul drifted out of his body as if waking from a dream, his gaze suddenly locking onto Du Yifan and the Black and White Impermanence. "What are you doing, my little benefactor? Do you have some kind of problem with me, Old Sun?"

"No objection," Du Yifan quickly stated his position, then said righteously, "Ahem, Sun Wukong, right? Our underworld shows that your lifespan has ended. I was just following orders, so please forgive me?"

"His lifespan has ended?"

Monkey King's eyes darted around, and he couldn't help but think about the births, aging, sickness, and deaths of the monkeys around him over the past three hundred years.

Then he thought of his master's earnest teachings when he became an apprentice.

"Am I, Old Sun, going to die?" Monkey King pondered.

"Uh, that's the rule." Du Yifan's words and eyes were full of implications.

As it turns out, our Monkey King is indeed exceptionally intelligent, and he quickly understood, "Who is in charge of matters concerning lifespan?"

“Naturally, it’s the King of Hell in the underworld,” Du Yifan said, pointing out the direction. “So, I’ll trouble you, Brother Monkey, to cooperate with my work and come with me to the underworld. If you have any complaints, you can discuss them with the King of Hell.”

"No problem, no problem," Monkey King scratched his head, his eyes gleaming. "Please lead the way, my little benefactor, so we can have a proper talk with that King Yama."

Du Yifan silently gave a thumbs up and manipulated the Black and White Impermanence to lead the way.

After confirming that Du Yifan's storyline was progressing smoothly, Wu Xian and his master and sister arrived at the underworld.

At this moment, all the actors are in place, waiting for Monkey King to make his move.

In the Yama Palace of Fengdu City, Wu Xian's original form, King Qin Guang, was already seated inside.

Wu Xian looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky above the Underworld outpost and felt a sense of emotion.

At this moment, an aurora-like phenomenon appeared above the underworld outpost, with five-colored light flowing in the dark sky, illuminating much of the originally gloomy underworld.

Outside the underworld outpost, the four incarnations of the True Gods silently watched all of this.

"I seem to smell the scent of a new world order," the Azure Tree King said, squinting as he sensed it.

“Indeed,” Canghai Zhiya nodded in agreement, “At least at this moment, in this strange outpost, the order of heaven and earth appears to be perfect.”

The Abyss Demon Lord frowned as he looked up at the sky. "Why do I sense a faint aura of the heavens?"

Such a dramatic change in the heavens and earth naturally involves the intervention of the heavens.

As he spoke, the Abyss Demon Lord frowned and looked toward the Gates of Hell in the underworld. A divine light distorted the power and order of heaven and earth in the strange realm.

"It seems like something has come in." The Abyss Demon Lord frowned.
