Chapter 4

Whoosh!

A burst of fiery light instantly erupted, illuminating the entire cave, and a dense aura of demonic energy spread out, creating a powerful sense of oppression.

Startled, Yao Yue instantly threw it aside, and the little monkey was even more frightened, letting out a few screams and quickly hiding far away.

However, when Yao Yue threw the stick away, all the fiery light and demonic energy instantly disappeared.

Yao Yue regained his composure and looked at the stick. He then noticed that it was not a stick but a weapon, a broken weapon, and more specifically, a halberd. Only the half-meter-long halberd shaft remained, with mysterious patterns swirling around it, looking very ancient and robust.

Yao Yue hesitated for a moment, then went over and picked it up again. However, it did not emit the powerful light or any energy as before; it looked like a plain and unremarkable broken halberd shaft.

"Clearly, I felt the blood in my body surge, and this thing emitted a powerful force just now. Why is it not reacting now? What's going on?" Yao Yue was very puzzled.

Yao Yue swung it several times but felt no unusual changes. He turned to the little monkey and asked, "Little monkey, is this your demonic weapon?"

Humans have weapons, and demons also have weapons, so Yao Yue asked this question.

The little monkey shook its head, chirped a few times, indicating denial, and then gestured with its front paws, showing some fear towards the broken halberd shaft.

"Since it's not yours, I'll take it. I'll use it as a means of self-defense!" Yao Yue didn't know what the little monkey was saying, but as long as it wasn't his, he took the broken halberd shaft without hesitation.

Yao Yue walked around the cave again but found no other peculiar items. He then thought about how to take some of the stalactite milk out and also planned to take the little monkey away from here.

However, at this moment, when he approached the little monkey, he suddenly noticed something special about it. His pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You, you are a Six-Eared Macaque!"

The Six-Eared Macaque is a rare and unique demonic beast, said to be born from the essence of heaven and earth, breaking through the stone. It is a celestial monkey, born with six ears, capable of hearing everything within a thousand miles. Its eyes are sharp, able to distinguish good from evil and understand the thoughts of all things.

It possesses talents that other monkey demons do not have. It is said to be naturally proud, disliking living in groups, and being cruel, unable to integrate with other monkeys. Otherwise, it would surely become the king of monkeys!

Despite this, its unparalleled fame in history cannot be erased!

It is said to possess the same supernatural powers as the four top-tier monkey demon kings, able to transform in countless ways, fight against heaven and earth, and almost no demon in the demon race can match it.

Throughout history, such a demonic species has only existed in legends, and no one has ever heard of it appearing in the world!

Even among demons, the Six-Eared Macaque is just a legend, and no demon has ever seen its great powers!

These insights were all obtained by Yao Yue from the knowledge he had acquired. After seeing the six ears on each side of the little monkey, he was so surprised!

This is a unique demonic monkey that no demon can match. If it could be more sociable, it would surely possess the supreme power to lead all monkeys!

The little monkey scratched its ears, looking puzzled and confused!

Yao Yue finally came to his senses and suddenly burst out laughing, "Ha ha, good, really good! It seems my good luck is about to begin!"

He actually managed to gain the help of the Six-Eared Macaque and began to establish a friendship with it. He decided to do everything he could to befriend the Six-Eared Macaque.

It is still young, but once it grows up, it will surely become a powerful existence with supreme power, and it will definitely become a great help to him!

With this thought, Yao Yue decided to take the Six-Eared Macaque back to the imperial city!

"Little monkey, I want to climb to the top from here. Can you help me?" Yao Yue looked at the Six-Eared Macaque with expectation.

Without the Six-Eared Macaque weaving grass vines and guiding him to the climbing spots, it would be almost impossible for him to escape from here!

The little monkey's eyes darted around, as if thinking, and then nodded.

Yao Yue exclaimed in delight, "Little monkey, you're willing to take me out?"

The little monkey nodded, then jumped to the pond, drank a few sips of the pond water, and led the way.

Yao Yue was overjoyed, packed up, and then reluctantly glanced at the stalactite milk, "These spirit springs will stay here. I'll come back to collect some when I have the means!"

He had no container to carry the stalactite milk, so he had to leave it behind!

Yao Yue and the little monkey worked together to start climbing from the cave to the top of the cliff.

This time, it was even more challenging for Yao Yue, testing his courage, perseverance, and resilience!

There were still nearly a thousand meters to go, and any slip would mean certain death. There was no place to rest, and he had to climb to the top in one go!

The little monkey's body was still light and agile, using the hanging grass vines to keep leaping up. Every ten meters or so, it would weave grass vines for Yao Yue and throw them down, allowing Yao Yue to use them to climb!

Yao Yue, with the peak strength from the stalactite milk, climbed over two hundred meters in one go.

He felt the energy in his body surging, and the power of his blood kept roaring.

"I'll try to recite the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Devouring Technique to see if I can absorb the power of the spirit spring more quickly, without letting it go to waste!" Yao Yue held the grass vine, his feet on the protruding rocks of the cliff, and began to recite the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Devouring Technique in his mind!

As he recited the technique, the power of the stalactite milk was indeed quickly integrated into his bloodstream, strengthening his meridians and organs, and improving his constitution.

Yao Yue felt his strength growing, and he forgot all the dangers behind him, increasing his climbing speed.

After half a day, Yao Yue finally reached the top of the cliff.

He lay on the ground, spreading his limbs, looking up at the sky, and greedily breathing in the air.

His whole body was drenched in sweat, with many abrasions, and there was a large wound on his left shoulder, which he had sustained when he almost fell from the cliff, hitting a rock. The blood stains made him look extremely disheveled and pitiful, like a refugee who had narrowly escaped death.

Not far from him, there was a little monkey with six ears, jumping around, climbing nearby trees, and looking into the distance, showing great curiosity.

Yao Yue was very tired but also very happy and excited!

These three days were experiences he could never have imagined before, making him feel joy, surprise, fear... a mix of complex emotions.

No matter what, he had come back from the dead, regaining his clear state of mind, which was a stroke of luck!

He cherished all the abilities he now possessed and refused to be a fool for others to mock and abuse.

He wanted to change everything, reclaim his dignity, and become a dazzling and powerful figure, immortal in the world!

After resting for a while, Yao Yue got up, looked at the distant high walls of the imperial city, and shouted, "I, Yao Yue, am back! You all wait for me!"

After taking a deep breath, Yao Yue felt much better and completely forgot about his wounds, calling to the little monkey, "Little monkey, come over! I'll take you to where I live!"

The little monkey, now a companion through hardship, was very intelligent and understood Yao Yue's words, quickly jumping over and climbing onto his uninjured shoulder.

The little monkey playfully tugged at Yao Yue's messy hair, and Yao Yue laughed, "Stop fooling around, be quiet! I'll get you something good to eat when we get back!"

At the same time, Yao Yue looked back at the opposite side of the Absolute Demon Ridge and then resolutely left.

It was a distance from here to the imperial city, and it would take a day for a normal person to walk, but a cultivator could shorten the time with their quick steps.

Yao Yue was eager to return, and he took quick steps, rushing towards the imperial city.

He wanted to return to the imperial city as soon as possible and also planned to take revenge on those who had harmed him.

"Liang Si, although I often act foolishly, you have already made a lot of silver coins from me. I didn't expect you to be so greedy and dare to plot against me. This matter is definitely related to those people. When I return, I will definitely settle accounts with you!" Yao Yue's thoughts kept flashing, and his eyes glowed with a demonic and fierce light!

The return of the fool was bound to make the imperial city lively again!

But this liveliness would be like a thunderclap, causing a great upheaval!

Yao Yang Imperial City is one of the four great imperial cities, with a history of millions of years!

The city walls of the imperial city are built with the best stone materials, reaching dozens of meters high, making the city as solid as a fortress.

These magnificent and grand city walls, after the洗礼 of time, appear ancient and rugged, looking like prehistoric beasts from a distance, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

After a long day, a ragged and dirty young man came running from a distance.

This ragged and dirty young man had a little monkey dozing on his shoulder.

This combination was very peculiar and eye-catching.

"Ha ha, I, Yao Yue, am finally back!" Yao Yue, who had narrowly escaped death, could not help but laugh out loud when he returned to the imperial city.

The people nearby looked at him with disdain.

Because Yao Yue's current appearance was no different from that of a refugee or a beggar, and the little monkey on his shoulder, which had a slight odor, made them pinch their noses and stay far away.

Yao Yue suppressed his excitement and walked into the imperial city with large strides.

From now on, the imperial city would change because of his return!

The city guards were responsible for checking the people coming and going and collecting the entry fee before letting them into the city.

Just as Yao Yue was about to enter the city with the crowd, one of the city guards pointed a steel spear at him and shouted fiercely, "You little beggar, get lost! Do you think a scoundrel like you can enter the imperial city?"
