Two Great Spirit Monkeys, Ruyi Jingu Bang?

["Strange. There isn't even a trace of demonic aura in Divine Soldier City."]

[Just as you were preparing to search elsewhere for demons, your nose sensed something again.]

["The scent of a supreme treasure!"]

[It did not seem strange for Divine Soldier City to possess divine weapons.]

[But the scent of this supreme treasure came from outside the city.]

["Let's go take a look!"]

[Whether you could obtain it or not, you had to remember the time and place. It might come in handy in future simulations.]

[You rode out of the city, following the scent of the supreme treasure until you arrived before a magnificent waterfall.]

[Within the waterfall that plunged down like the Milky Way, you saw a golden staff like a jade pillar holding up the heavens!]

[The scent of the supreme treasure came from within it.]

["Could this be the legendary... Ruyi Jingu Bang?!"]

[The trait's senses could not be wrong. Whether this staff was the same thing as the one from your hometown or not, it was definitely a supreme treasure!]

[Just as you were about to enter the water and take this great treasure away, a sharp, high-pitched laugh came from behind you.]

["Hehehe! Friend, what are you planning to do to the weapon my master rewarded me with?"]

[You turned around and saw a golden-furred monkey in a human short robe, sitting in a tree and swinging from a vine.]

["Monkey Brother?"]

["Hahahaha! Friend, you look older than me. Why are you calling me brother?"]

[A monkey that could speak was clearly a demon.]

[Yet strangely, you could not detect the slightest demonic aura from this monkey.]

[There was something even stranger.]

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

[That was undeniably a demon's appearance, yet there was likewise no demonic aura on it.]

[The red monkey looked somewhat timid and introverted, hiding behind the trunk and not daring to meet your gaze.]

Chen Yi, outside the simulation, brightened.

"Could they be two of the Four Great Spirit Monkeys, like my Monkey Brother and the Six-Eared Macaque? It's normal enough for spirit monkeys born of heaven and earth to have no demonic aura. The question is whether their natures are good or bad."

This was where the unique effect of The Only True Prophet on the Scene became apparent.

However, since Spider Senses did not react, even if they were two bad monkeys, they definitely did not intend to harm his simulated self at this moment.

[The golden monkey was nimble and agile. With a leap and a wave of his little hand, the golden staff beneath the waterfall shrank as it flew into his ear.]

["Mm, it's clean now."]

[So he had been using the waterfall to wash his weapon.]

[The golden monkey was not tall, only reaching your armpit.]

[He circled you several times, golden light glittering in his eyes.]

["Friend, there's an evil aura on you..."]

[You really wanted to pull out the Myriad Souls Banner and give it a scolding.]

[Didn't it say you wouldn't be discovered?!]

["But you bear no evil intentions. I imagine you have never slaughtered innocents."]

[You let out a long breath.]

[Seeing your expression, the golden monkey happily slapped his thigh.]

["Hahahaha! Did I scare you? Don't worry, don't worry. I know who you are—the Red-Haired Demon Slayer! You came here today... could it be to slay me?"]

["Monkey Brother, you jest. I could tell at a glance that you're a good monkey! I, Red Hair, only eliminate evil demons and never harm good demons... ah, people—uh, monkeys..."]

[The golden monkey happily slapped his leg again.]

["Did I scare you again? All right, all right, I won't tease you anymore. If you want to slay demons, you'll have to go farther away. The demons of Shenbing Commandery have all been wiped out by my brother and me!"]

[No wonder there was not a trace of demonic aura here.]

[The two monkeys were quite enthusiastic.]

[You had clearly already bid them farewell, yet they still caught up with you from time to time to give you wild fruit.]

[Honestly, the fruit was terrible—too sour, and it hurt your teeth.]

["Why aren't you eating? Does it not taste good?"]

["It's good, it's good."]

[When traveling abroad, everyone gave each other face.]

[Not until you left Shenbing Commandery did the fruit-delivering monkeys finally stop following you.]

["I can't shake the feeling that those two were watching me, afraid I wouldn't leave..."]

[Thinking of this, you took out the Myriad Souls Banner and gave it a whipping.]

["'Anyone can casually discover my existence, and you still dare call yourself an Immortal Artifact?' Who said that? Huh?? Answer me!!"]

[The Myriad Souls Banner was unconvinced.]

["Can you blame me?! Those two just now—one was a Fire-Eyed Golden Monkey, the other a Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey! Both were divine beasts born of heaven and earth! They weren't 'just anyone' at all!"]

[By that logic, the Myriad Souls Banner really could not be blamed for hiding poorly.]

[Just hearing their names told you they had real skill in their eyes.]

[You continued roaming the land, searching for demonic aura.]

[Before long, you discovered demonic aura again.]

[Judging by the intensity of the aura, this demon was in the Soul Tempering Realm, above your level.]

[But you had the Biological Father trait, as well as a heap of Demon Souls in the Myriad Souls Banner. Dealing with a Demon Race opponent one realm above you would be effortless.]

[Following the demonic aura, you arrived at a mountain village.]

[There, you saw a tiger demon slaughtering the villagers with wild abandon!]

[It ate anyone it saw, swallowing them whole in a single bite. The sight was bloody and cruel.]

[Men and women, old and young—it spared none of them.]

[The villagers fled in all directions, but the tiger demon was nimble and incredibly fast. No matter which way they ran, it caught up to them.]

[This despairing scene reminded you of Luoding Village, when that group of masked mysterious people massacred it.]

["Bastard!"]

[At that moment, fury surged from your heart and courage sprang from your gall!]

[You summoned the Myriad Souls Banner and released more than a hundred Demon Souls to attack the tiger demon together.]

[However, it seemed you were about to overturn your cart this time.]

[Tigers were called Mountain Lords and possessed Pure Yang Bodies.]

[Even as a tiger demon, it was merely evil; that did not affect its innately supreme-yang talent.]

[Using Demon Souls against it left you utterly restrained. One tiger's roar scattered more than a dozen of the weaker Demon Souls.]

["Myriad Souls Banner, do you have any other tricks?"]

["I do, but my true body is too weak right now. You can't use them."]

["Fine! Looks like this old man must act personally after all!"]

[You put away the Myriad Souls Banner, lest you waste more Demon Souls.]

[The Flame Iron Heavy Sword landed in your hand. Spiritual Qi poured into it, and its blade grew scorching hot.]

["Heart Flame Mysterious Technique!"]

[Once this External Cultivation technique began circulating, every move you made could cleave out raging flames with astonishing power.]

[You also activated the Internal Cultivation technique, Pure Yang Spirit Guiding Mysterious Technique, causing an aura of utmost firmness and pure yang to radiate from your entire body.]

[You and the tiger demon were like two suns colliding.]

["Huh..."]

[You sensed that something was wrong.]

[This tiger demon actually made you feel pressure.]

[Looking carefully, the demonic aura it was giving off now seemed far deeper than when you had tracked it along the road...]

[Golden Body Realm!]

[It had just broken through!]

[No wonder it had slaughtered the village without a care in the world. It had been on the verge of a breakthrough and could not spare attention for anything else!]

[This would be difficult.]

[Tigers were kings of all beasts. Tiger demons were already far stronger than ordinary demons, and now it was two major realms above you.]

[With the Biological Father trait, you would not die at its hands, but taking down this tiger demon seemed unlikely as well.]

[The key was that the tiger demon was unwilling to let you go.]

["Where did this piece of trash come from? You nearly ruined my good fortune! Since you love vanquishing demons and defending the righteous path so much, come slowly vanquish demons from inside my belly!"]
