Two Divine Monkeys and the Wish-Fulfilling Golden-Hooped Rod

【"Strange, there's not a single trace of demonic aura to be seen in Divine Weapon City."】

【Just as you were preparing to head elsewhere to hunt for demons, your nose picked up a scent.】

【"The scent of a supreme treasure!"】

【It didn't seem strange for a city named Divine Weapon to house divine weapons.】

【However, the scent of this supreme treasure was coming from outside the city.】

【"Let's go take a look!"】

【Whether you could get your hands on it or not, you had to remember the time and location. It would be useful in future simulations.】

【You rode out of the city, following the scent of the supreme treasure, and arrived before a majestic waterfall.】

【Within the cascading waters that looked like the Milky Way tumbling down, you saw a giant golden cudgel standing like a pillar supporting the heavens!】

【The scent of the supreme treasure was emanating from it.】

【"Could this be the legendary... Ruyi Jingu Bang?!"】

【The trait's sensation couldn't be wrong. Regardless of whether this cudgel was the same one from your hometown, it was definitely a supreme treasure!】

【Just as you were about to enter the water and take this massive treasure away, a sharp, high-pitched laugh echoed from behind you.】

【"Hehe! Friend, what are you trying to do with the weapon my master rewarded me with?"】

【You turned your head and were surprised to see a monkey with golden fur, wearing a human's short shirt, sitting in a tree and swinging on a vine.】

【"Brother Monkey?"】

【"Hahaha! Friend, you look older than me, why are you calling me brother?"】

【A talking monkey—this was clearly a demon.】

【But strangely enough, you couldn't see even a sliver of demonic aura on this monkey.】

【And there was something even stranger.】

【There was another monkey in the tree. Its fur was red, and it had four eyes and six ears.】

【This was an absolute demonic appearance, yet surprisingly, it also had no demonic aura.】

【The red monkey looked a bit timid and introverted, hiding behind the tree trunk, not daring to make eye contact with you.】

Outside the simulation, Chen Yi's eyes lit up.

"Could they be like Brother Monkey and the Six-Eared Macaque, part of the Four Spiritual Primates? It's normal for heaven-and-earth spiritual primates to lack a demonic aura, I just don't know if their nature is good or evil."

This was when the unique effect of the "The Only True Prophet" trait truly showed its worth.

However, since the "Spider Sense" didn't react, even if they were two evil monkeys, they definitely had no intention of harming his simulated self at this moment.

【The golden monkey was agile. With a leap and a wave of his small hand, the giant golden cudgel beneath the waterfall shrank as it flew straight into his ear.】

【"Mhm, it's washed clean now."】

【So he was using the waterfall to wash his weapon.】

【The golden monkey wasn't tall, only reaching your armpit.】

【He circled around you a few times, his eyes sparkling with golden light.】

【"Friend, there's an evil aura on you..."】

【Right now, you really wanted to pull out the Myriad Soul Banner and give it a good scolding.】

【What happened to 'it won't be discovered'?!】

【"However, you harbor no evil thoughts, so you probably haven't slaughtered the innocent."】

【You breathed a long sigh of relief.】

【Seeing your reaction, the golden monkey happily slapped his thigh.】

【"Hahaha! Did I scare you? Relax, relax, I recognize you. You're the Red-Haired Demon Slayer! Have you come here today to slay me?"】

【"Brother Monkey must be joking. I could tell at a glance that you're a good monkey! I, Red-Hair, only eliminate evil demons, I don't hurt good demons... ah, humans, er, monkeys..."】

【The golden monkey happily slapped his thigh again.】

【"Did I scare you again? Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. If you want to eliminate demons, you'll have to go further away. The demons of Divine Weapon County have already been completely wiped out by us two brothers!"】

【No wonder there wasn't a single trace of demonic aura to be seen here.】

【The two monkeys were actually quite hospitable.】

【Even though you had already bid them farewell, they would occasionally catch up to you to give you some wild fruits to eat.】

【To be honest, these fruits tasted awful; they were too sour and hard on the teeth.】

【"Why aren't you eating? Do they taste bad?"】

【"They're delicious, delicious."】

【When traveling, saving face is a mutual courtesy.】

【It wasn't until you left Divine Weapon County that the monkeys delivering wild fruits finally stopped following you.】

【"I keep feeling like those two were keeping an eye on me, afraid I wouldn't leave..."】

【Thinking of this, you pulled out the Myriad Soul Banner and gave it a harsh scolding.】

【"'How could anyone casually discover my existence, and still call me an immortal artifact?' Who said that? Huh?? Answer me!!"】

【The Myriad Soul Banner was unconvinced.】

【"Can you blame me?! Those two just now, one was a Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey! The other was a Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey! They are both divine beasts nurtured by heaven and earth! They aren't 'casual' at all!"】

【Putting it that way, you really couldn't blame the Myriad Soul Banner for poorly concealing itself.】

【Just by hearing the names of these two monkeys, one could tell they had special abilities in their eyes.】

【You continued your wandering, searching for demonic auras.】

【Not long after, you discovered a demonic aura once again.】

【Judging by the depth of the demonic aura, this demon was at the Soul Tempering Realm, higher than you.】

【But you had the biological father trait and a bunch of demon souls in the Myriad Soul Banner. Dealing with a demon race member one major realm higher than you would be a breeze.】

【Following the demonic aura, you arrived at a mountain village.】

【Shockingly, you saw a tiger demon massacring the village!】

【It ate everyone it saw, swallowing them whole in a single bite. The scene was bloody and cruel.】

【Men, women, old, and young—it spared no one.】

【The villagers scattered and fled, but the tiger demon was agile and extremely fast. No matter which way they ran, it could catch up.】

【This despairing scene reminded you of your own Luoding Village when it was slaughtered by that group of mysterious masked men.】

【"Bastard!"】

【At that moment, rage fueled your courage!】

【You summoned the Myriad Soul Banner and released over a hundred demon souls to attack the tiger demon simultaneously.】

【However, it seemed you were going to stumble this time.】

【The tiger, known as the Mountain Lord, possessed a body of pure yang.】

【Even if it was a tiger demon, it was merely evil; this did not affect its innate extreme yang talent.】

【Using demon souls against it meant you were completely countered. A single tiger roar scattered over a dozen weaker demon souls.】

【"Myriad Soul Banner, do you have any other tricks?"】

【"I do, but my main body is too weak right now, so you can't use them."】

【"Fine! I'll just have to strike personally!"】

【You put away the Myriad Soul Banner to avoid wasting any more demon souls.】

【Grasping the Flaming Iron Heavy Sword, you poured spiritual energy into it, causing the blade to turn scalding hot.】

【"Heart Flame Profound Art!"】

【Once this external martial art was circulated, every one of your strikes could cleave out blazing flames with astonishing power.】

【You also mobilized your internal martial art, the "Pure Yang Spirit Channeling Profound Art," causing your entire body to emit an aura of supreme firmness and pure yang.】

【You and the tiger demon were like two suns colliding together.】

【"Eh..."】

【You felt that something wasn't quite right.】

【This tiger demon was actually making you feel pressure.】

【Looking closely, the demonic aura it was emitting right now seemed much deeper than what you had seen while tracking it on the road...】

【Golden Body Realm!】

【It had just broken through!】

【No wonder it was slaughtering the village without any scruples. It turned out it was on the verge of a breakthrough and couldn't care less about anything else!】

【This was going to be a tough fight.】

【The tiger is the king of beasts, so a tiger demon is naturally much more powerful than an ordinary demon. Now, it was also two major realms higher than you.】

[With the "Biological Father" trait, you wouldn't necessarily die at its hands, but taking down this tiger demon seems highly unlikely as well.]

[The main issue is that the tiger demon has no intention of letting you go.]

["Where did this piece of trash come from? You almost ruined my plans! Since you are so fond of slaying demons and defending the Dao, you can take your time doing it inside my belly!"]
