One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

”That’s strange, I can’t see a single trace of monster aura in this Divine Arms City.”

Just as you were about to go elsewhere to search for demons, your nose had another sensation.

”The scent of a supreme treasure!”

It wasn’t strange for a Divine Arms City to have divine weapons.

But this scent of a supreme treasure was actually coming from outside the city.

”Let’s go check it out!”

Whether I can obtain it or not, I need to remember the time and location; it will be useful for future simulations.

You rode your horse out of the city, following the scent of the supreme treasure, and arrived before a majestic, imposing waterfall.

Within that cascading silver river of water, you saw a massive golden rod resembling a jade pillar holding up the heavens!

The scent of the supreme treasure was emanating from this.”Could this be the legendary... Wish-Fulfilling Golden-Hooped Staff?!”

The trait’s sense couldn’t be wrong. Whether this staff is the same thing as the one from your hometown or not, it’s definitely a supreme treasure!

Just as you were about to enter the water to take this great treasure away, a high-pitched, thin voice of laughter came from behind you.

”Hehehe! Friend, what are you trying to do with the weapon my master rewarded me?”

You turned to look and actually saw a golden-furred monkey, dressed in a human short shirt, sitting on a tree and swinging on a vine.

”Brother Monkey?”

”Hahaha! Friend, you look older than me, why call me ’brother’?”

A talking monkey was clearly a demon.

But strangely, you couldn’t see a single trace of monster 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 clearly a demonic appearance, yet it also had no monster aura.

The red monkey seemed somewhat timid and introverted, hiding behind the tree trunk, not daring to meet your gaze.

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

”Could they be two of the Four Great Spiritual Monkeys, like my Monkey Brother and the Six-Eared Macaque? It’s normal for heaven-and-earth-born spiritual monkeys to have no monster aura, just don’t know if their nature is good or bad.”

This was when the unique effect of ”The Only True Prophet in the Whole Game” could be seen.

However, since ”Spider Sense” hadn’t reacted, even if they were two bad monkeys, they definitely didn’t intend to harm his simulated self at this moment.

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

”Mmm, it’s clean now.”

So it was using the waterfall to wash its weapon.

The golden monkey wasn’t tall, only reaching up to your armpit.

It circled around you several times, its eyes glittering with golden light.

”Friend, you have a trace of evil energy on you...”

You really wanted to pull out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and give it a scolding right now.

Weren’t you promised it wouldn’t be discovered?!

”However, you harbor no evil thoughts. I imagine you haven’t slaughtered innocents indiscriminately.”

You let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing your expression, the golden monkey happily slapped its thigh.

”Hahaha! Did I scare you? Don’t worry, don’t worry, I recognize you, the Red-Haired Demon Slayer! Did you come here today to slay me?”

”Brother Monkey, you jest. I could tell at a glance you’re a good monkey! I, Red-Hair, only eliminate evil demons, I don’t harm good demons... uh, people... er, monkeys...”

The golden monkey happily slapped its leg again.

”Did I scare you again? Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you. If you want to slay demons, you’ll have to go further away. All the demons and monsters in Divine Arms County have already been exterminated by my brother and me!”

No wonder there wasn’t a trace of monster aura here.

The two monkeys were quite friendly.

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

To be honest, these fruits tasted terrible—too sour and hard on the teeth.

”Why aren’t you eating? Are they not tasty?”

”They’re delicious, delicious.”

When you’re out and about, face is something people give each other.

It wasn’t until you left Divine Arms County that the fruit-giving monkeys finally stopped following.

”I have a feeling those two were keeping an eye on me, afraid I wouldn’t leave...”

Thinking of this, you took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and gave it a good whipping.

”’Anyone can casually discover my presence, and you dare call yourself an Immortal Artifact?’ Who said that? Huh?? Answer me!!”

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was indignant.

”How is that my fault?! Those two just now, one was a Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey! The other was a Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey! Both are heaven-and-earth-born divine beasts! That’s not ’casual’ at all!”

If you put it that way, you really couldn’t blame the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for poor concealment.

Just hearing the names of those two monkeys told you they had skills related to their eyes.

You continued your wandering, searching for monster aura.

Not long after, you detected monster aura again.

Judging by the depth of the aura, this demon was at the Soul Tempering realm, higher than you.

But you had the ”Daddy’s Boy” trait and a bunch of demon souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Dealing with a demon race opponent one realm higher than you would be a breeze.

You followed the monster aura to a mountain village.

There, you saw a Tiger Demon wantonly slaughtering in the village!

It ate anyone it saw, swallowing them whole in one bite. The scene was bloody and cruel.

Men, women, old, young—it spared no one.

The villagers scattered and fled, but the Tiger Demon was agile and extremely fast. No matter which direction they ran, it could catch up.

This scene of despair reminded you of your own Luoding Village, and the image of it being slaughtered by those masked mysterious people.

”Bastard!”

At that moment, fury surged from your very core!

You summoned the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, releasing over a hundred demon souls to attack the Tiger Demon simultaneously.

However, it seemed you were about to crash and burn this time.

The tiger, known as the Mountain Lord, possesses a body of pure Yang.

Even as a Tiger Demon, it was merely tainted by evil, which didn’t affect its innate extreme Yang nature.

Using demon souls against it was completely countered. A single tiger’s roar from it scattered over a dozen of the weaker demon souls.

”Ten Thousand Souls Banner, do you have any other tricks?”

”I do, but my current main body is too weak; you can’t use them.”

”Fine! It seems this old man must take action personally!”

You put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to avoid wasting more demon souls.

The Flame Iron Heavy Sword came to hand. As Spiritual Energy poured in, the blade grew scalding hot.

”Heartflame Profound Art!”

Once this External Technique was activated, every strike you unleashed could slash out with raging flames, its power astonishing.

The Internal Technique ”Pure Yang Spirit-Guiding Profound Art” was also mobilized, causing your entire body to radiate an aura of extreme Yang and unyielding masculinity.

You and the Tiger Demon were like two suns, colliding together.

”Huh...”

You felt something was off.

This Tiger Demon actually made you feel pressure.

Looking closely, the monster aura it was emitting now seemed much deeper than what you sensed while tracking it on the road...

Golden Body realm!

It had just broken through!

No wonder it was slaughtering in the village without any restraint. It must have been on the verge of a breakthrough and couldn’t be bothered to hide anymore!

This was going to be tough.

The tiger is the king of beasts. A Tiger Demon is inherently more powerful than ordinary demons, and now it was two major realms higher than you.

With the ”Daddy’s Boy” trait, you wouldn’t die at its hands, but capturing this Tiger Demon also seemed nearly impossible.

The key point was, the Tiger Demon wasn’t willing to let you go.

”Where did this piece of trash come from, almost ruining my good fortune! Since you love eliminating demons and upholding righteousness so much, come into my belly and uphold it slowly!”
