Chapter 2

A hundred years, for modern people, is a lifetime and more. Very few people live to be a hundred, and those who don't usually die from accidents or illness, like Ding Yue!

But for Ding Yue, who was cultivating, a hundred years felt like a dream, passing in the blink of an eye. Sometimes, when he closed his eyes and opened them again, several months had already passed.

So, this hundred years passed quickly and fruitfully for Ding Yue. After a hundred years, the magical power in his body flowed like a river, ceaselessly surging. When the pale green magical power flowed, he could even hear the gushing sound. His dantian was like a lake, endlessly circulating!

Although he had not yet reached the level described by the Demon Master to achieve immortality, Ding Yue felt that he was at a critical point, as if he could step over that threshold at any moment!

Perhaps due to his cultivation, Ding Yue still looked young, around twenty years old. But at this moment, despite his simple attire, he stood straight, his skin shimmering with a precious light, his eyes gleaming with a sharp and spirited light.

"I am Ding Yue of the Primordial Chaos, no longer the Ding Yue of my past life! Heaven, bear witness!"

Ding Yue, fearing some unusual consequences, shouted a vow to the sky, just like some of his predecessors. But it seemed that the Heavenly Dao was busy napping, and after Ding Yue shouted, he felt nothing, not even a fart to hear!

Damn! Ding Yue muttered in his heart, returning to his cave to cultivate, greatly disappointed. Experience can be deadly! Who cares about a small fry like me? Damn, to be considered unusual, one must have great power and great abilities!

Today, Ding Yue rarely skipped cultivation because he felt that the sound of the big egg, which resembled a heartbeat, was getting louder and louder.

The big egg was about to hatch.

What is it? Ding Yue was full of curiosity, wanting to break it open and take a look.

Ten days later, the big egg actually floated up in place, jumping continuously in mid-air. The heartbeat-like sound became continuous, and the entire cave was filled with a rumbling sound.

A chilling aura spread throughout.

Seeing this, Ding Yue couldn't help but curse under his breath. He stomped his right foot, and his figure floated out of the cave.

The aura leaking from the big egg made him feel a bit breathless and dazed.

Ding Yue's eyes became serious. What is it? Could it be the Demon Master's son? The Great Peng Bird?

Ding Yue thought of those great books but immediately dismissed the idea. This is land, while the Demon Master's lair is in the North Sea.

Moreover, the Demon Master wouldn't leave his son in this desolate mountain.

And this place doesn't even look like the Demon Master's secondary residence; it's too low-grade! A mighty figure of the Heavenly Court, a generation of heroes, a dominant ruler, wouldn't live in such a desolate place. Nonsense!

Standing in mid-air, Ding Yue felt something was wrong. The nearby air seemed to be filled with a killing aura. Looking up, he saw a fierce wind rising, dark clouds gathering, and in the blink of an eye, the clouds turned as black as ink, but with a blood-red glow!

Killing aura? Ding Yue took a step back, his eyes serious as he looked at the black clouds.

It's a killing aura!

"Bang!" A loud noise came from the cave.

"Roar~~~" A wild beast's roar echoed from the cave, shaking the surrounding area for several miles. The killing aura in the sky also transformed into a stream of clouds and entered the cave.

In a breath, the deafening heartbeat sound disappeared, and no more roars came from the cave.

After a while, Ding Yue steadied his mind, took the earth-colored whip in his hand, and walked into the cave.

"Monkey?"

Ding Yue was speechless. Who could explain to him how a monkey could be born from an egg? It's not normal!

Well, in this world, anything is possible, and nothing is impossible. Ding Yue could only console himself with that.

What appeared before Ding Yue was a creature standing less than half a meter tall, covered in black-red fur, with a tail longer than its body, arms that reached below its knees, and eyes filled with red veins.

The little guy clearly wasn't as unintelligent as wild beasts. Although his eyes were filled with red veins, his eyes were lively and intelligent.

The little guy was very affectionate towards Ding Yue, reaching out with his furry little paws, grabbing onto Ding Yue tightly, and making "ao ao" sounds.

Ding Yue put down his guard, reached out to pat the little guy's head, and smiled warmly.

"Big Egg!" He said habitually, then couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The little guy, though unable to speak, clearly didn't like this name. With a "ao," he kicked his legs, and Ding Yue felt a weight on his head. Checking his mind, he found the little guy angrily jumping on his head.

Reaching out, he grabbed the little guy, lifted him to eye level, and said seriously, "This name is good. It's decided. Big Egg. Hahaha..."

At the end, Ding Yue laughed loudly, lacking any grace.

The little guy, however, angrily protested, waving his fists, but clearly, he had no say in the matter, being ignored by Ding Yue.

The little guy was very mischievous, sleeping only a little and spending most of his time jumping around, running up and down the mountain, and occasionally making childish "ao" sounds. This reduced Ding Yue's cultivation time significantly, but he wasn't unhappy, feeling quite content.

Being able to endure loneliness and cultivate for a hundred years was already a great achievement for him, as he was just an ordinary person before.

Having someone to keep him company was nice.

Another two hundred years passed like flowing water, never to return.

During these two hundred years, the little guy didn't grow at all, but Ding Yue's cultivation broke through the bottleneck, reaching the Immortal Realm, and then advanced to the late True Immortal stage, where he encountered another bottleneck.

Although his magical power continued to grow steadily, his realm remained stagnant. The "Cultivation of Qi" notes were no longer useful, and only the classics from his past life occasionally inspired him to make progress. However, his magical power continued to grow slowly, giving him some hope!

He lacked cultivation techniques.

Unable to advance, he spent his days refining his magical power, meticulously solidifying his foundation, or studying various magical techniques and abilities.

And refining the Mountain-Driving Whip.

The Mountain-Driving Whip, a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, could move mountains and drive away peaks, with the power of ten thousand catties.

Ding Yue finally felt that his protagonist aura was shining, and his golden finger had been activated.

Just by reaching out, he obtained a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

A high-grade innate spiritual treasure, there were very few in this world, and even many great figures didn't possess innate spiritual treasures, let alone high-grade ones.

Although he had only refined a bit of it, Ding Yue could glimpse the might of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

It lived up to its name!

Refining a spiritual treasure was still difficult for Ding Yue, but he made some progress. Each innate spiritual treasure contained a ray of innate, undying spiritual light.

This innate, undying spiritual light was the source power of the innate spiritual treasure, containing the secrets of the Dao. If he could comprehend it, achieving immortality would be no problem.

So, Ding Yue was very spirited, full of energy, and highly motivated.

"Roar~~~"

While contemplating the spiritual treasure, Ding Yue suddenly heard a familiar "ao" sound, but it was different, sounding urgent and angry.

There's a problem!

Ding Yue stood up straight, took the whip, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, exiting the cave.

At the foot of the mountain, the little guy, though less than half a meter tall, was radiating an astonishing aura. His black-red fur glowed, his eyes wide open, his hands clenched, and he was roaring continuously at something in front of him.

"Woof, woof, what are you barking about? You're just a monkey! Woof!"

A large black dog, about a meter tall and two meters long, with shiny black fur, wagged its tail and spoke in a human voice, looking at the little guy with disdain.

"Hmm... Yeah! That's right!"

Beside the black dog, a green-furred donkey, with a tuft of white fur on each of its four hooves, snorted and nodded in agreement.

"Roar~~~" The little guy roared at the two, waving his fists. If he weren't worried about his small size, he would have charged forward.

But he held back!

"Woof, woof... Just barking, why don't you speak? Woof!"

The large black dog lifted its head and spoke disdainfully.

Ding Yue couldn't help but smile at the scene, seeing the little guy at a disadvantage. He quickly descended from the air.

"Even if you could speak, you'd still be a black dog and a little donkey!"

The large black dog and the little donkey were startled by Ding Yue's sudden appearance and instinctively took a step back.

Looking at Ding Yue carefully, the little donkey said to the black dog, not very sure, "Is he a person?"

The black dog thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "He's a person!"

"Hmm... Damn! Even a person dares to show off in front of me! Take him down!"

Getting an answer, the little donkey shouted angrily, spouting profanities, and kicked off, transforming into a green shadow, charging at Ding Yue, its hoof aimed at his face.

"I'm a gentleman!"

The black dog found the little donkey's behavior despicable, tapped the ground with its paw, and sat down.

Ding Yue was surprised by the little donkey's temper. Weren't donkeys usually gentle? How could this one be so fiery?

Damn? Take him down?

I'll be damned! Cursing inwardly, Ding Yue didn't dare to think more because the little donkey's speed was incredibly fast, and he could only see a green blur before it was in front of him.

Seeing the hoof aimed at his face, Ding Yue was speechless. He relied on his face to make a living, didn't he?

The Great Peng Ascension Technique came to mind, and Ding Yue quickly activated it, narrowly avoiding the hoof.

Moving to the side of the little donkey, Ding Yue kicked at its abdomen.

"I'll beat you!" The little donkey turned, moved, and disappeared, then fell from the sky, its hoof still aimed at Ding Yue's face.

The two figures darted left and right in the sky, moving so fast that only blurs could be seen, their speed unimaginable.

The large black dog, clearly confident in the little donkey, sat on the ground, watching the fight between the man and the donkey without any interest in intervening.

The little guy, however, watched nervously, his furry paws tightly clenched, ready to charge in at any moment.

"I'll show you why the peach blossoms are so red! I'll beat you!"

The little donkey barked, its hooves landing one after another, its mouth never stopping.

"Damn!" Ding Yue couldn't hold back any longer, cursing loudly. This donkey was evil, aiming its hooves at his face. If it weren't for his deep study of the Great Peng Ascension Technique and its subtlety, he would have been hit in the face long ago.

No longer holding back, magical power surged out of him, his body glowing with a green light, matching the little donkey's style.

The Sky-Tearing Claw, extending his hand like a claw, Ding Yue's right hand glinted with a cold light, aiming to tear the little donkey's mouth.

This mouth was too wicked, and he wanted to tear it apart.

Ding Yue's sudden change in technique caught the little donkey off guard, and it could only raise its hoof to meet it.

Ding Yue wouldn't use the Sky-Tearing Claw on the hoof, so he changed his hand into a claw, flipped it, and grabbed the hoof.

Turning, he threw the little donkey with all his might.

"Bang~~~" A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and the little donkey's wailing cry echoed:

"My fur~~~"
