Chapter 485
Currently on the Cerulean Mountain’s Barren Cliff; It was unknown if it was because the storm covered Chui Yim’s smell and voice, but the forest was kind to Chui Yim, and his journey towards the cliff was smooth.
He sat next to the round rock, letting it rain on him while mumbling to himself. “You think I’m an idiot, huh? What ‘every path in the world leads to the same destination!’ Only an idiot would believe his words!” With his monstrous body, the heavy rain only felt like a chilling dew to him.
He stared at the scenery, a stretch of green mountain and endless vegetation, in front of him, mind blank.
The rain added an unreal touch to the green. Ever since he arrived at Cloud Palace five days ago, he never stopped learning and getting used to the place. This was the first time he got to calm down and enjoy the scenery.
Have I really gotten into Cloud Palace?
Honestly, this was different from what Chui Yim imagined Cloud Palace to be. He knew that there were only seven disciples per generation, but he expected a school, not a village where one sometimes discussed cultivation with seniors and juniors.
However, this style suited him perfectly.
He enjoyed the beauty of nature way more than the fancy South Imperial City, which always experienced flooding near the Wandering Son’s Lake whenever there was a storm and brought some of the human remains sitting at the bottom of the lake up.
“You agree with me, right?” He turned to the rock next to him and patted it.
At the same time, there was a bolt of scary lighting from the sky.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Rumble!
It rained violently, and the lightning hiding behind the black clouds was a terrifying scene.
Chui Yim jumped up. I only patted it, what are you so angry about?
The scene of a confused Chui Yim with a baby monkey in his hands welcomed them.
“It’s been seven hundred years... and it finally arrived thanks to our little junior brother...” Sung Tsz Hin wore a confused expression.
Chui Yim immediately asked about the monkey, to which Sung Tsz Hin shook his head in reply. “The most accurate answer would be that this species has a lot of names, with rock monkey being its original name. It’s the product of heaven and earth, having the purest heart and soul.
“There’s no evil or good rock monkey, it depends on how they view the world; if it’s filled with kindness, it would fill the world with kindness and vice versa.
“But this is the exact reason that caused it to go nearly extinct,” Sung Tsz Hin said solemnly. Everyone behind him who knew about the rock monkey was also solemn.
“There are rumours that its heart is the best supplement in the world. Those without cultivation talent would be able to cultivate and increase their lifespan to two hundred years after consuming it, while cultivators would gain cultivation of two hundred years immediately and have all six chambers opened.
“If a four-chambered state cultivator takes it, he would step into the five-chambered state smoothly and immediately,” Sung Tsz Hin said in a low voice.
Chui Yim stared at the monkey that looked like a cute kitten and a precious pill in his hands. “Is it true?”
“I have no idea. It was recorded in the scrolls, but there isn’t anyone who has actually tasted its heart.” Sung Tsz Hin shook his head.
“But rumour is enough to have it suffer numerous attacks and send a horde of people hunting for it. Rock monkeys aren’t born powerful, but they have an extremely sharp sense towards danger and move fast.
“After avoiding many attacks, it learns of the malicious intentions the world has towards it.”
Sung Tsz Hin looked up at the skies covered with black clouds, as if they represented the terrifying greed of humanity. “Then, it starts to hate the world as much as the world hates it. The great hatred transforms its heart, and it becomes a phantom monkey, powerful enough to destroy the world with its hatred when it reaches a certain state.”
Chui Yim was left speechless. Feeling that the monkey in his hands moved like it felt something, an idea came up. “What would happen if it only felt the kindness of the world? What would it become then?”
“No idea.” Wong Kei replied this time with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
