Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1659: Chapter 876: Target

The Golden Winged Dapeng was extremely excited upon seeing the Thunder Beast, and the Thunder Beast responded with equal enthusiasm.

These two Divine Beasts communicated in their own way, and Li Shiming, standing to the side, could understand their conversation through the contract.

The Golden Winged Dapeng and the Thunder Beast were both born in the Divine Beast Garden, and they had known each other early on, being friends.

The Thunder Beast liked the Sea of Lightning, a place that no other Divine Beast would favor, which led to fewer conflicts with other Divine Beasts.

”Alright, you can slowly communicate in the Grotto Heaven later. Golden Wing, can you fly with me here?” Li Shiming interrupted their exchange to ask.

The Golden Winged Dapeng shook its head repeatedly, and through the connection of the contract, Li Shiming could sense its response.

Although the Golden Winged Dapeng would not be restricted, all creatures outside the Divine Palace would trigger the prohibitions.

Li Shiming just asked to confirm, and he had already gained some rewards. Next, he needed to explore in another direction.

He chose the direction where the three Great Cultivators of the Righteous Path were likely heading.

Given his understanding of the Divine Palace, if he had to explore entirely on his own, it was uncertain how long it would take to make some discoveries.

He had already spent nearly three days, and the remaining time was limited.

The best strategy was to choose the direction the three Great Cultivators of the Righteous Path intended to go, as there must be a place similar to the Divine Beast Garden there.

Having set his target, he immediately set off into the distance.

As for the Golden Winged Dapeng, he instructed it to occasionally fly over the three Great Cultivators of the Righteous Path to hinder their progress.

It’s not his fault; the Divine Beast Garden had shown him just how extraordinary the opportunities within the Divine Palace were.

The only regret was that, due to his rapid actions, he subdued the Golden Winged Dapeng as soon as he encountered it, thus losing the opportunity to continue exploring the Divine Beast Garden.

The Divine Beast Garden still had various Divine Beasts; he had only caught a distant glimpse of a Phoenix, whose mere appearance could confirm its powerful innate bloodline.

Unlike the Red Gold Phoenix, that Phoenix’s given name was simply Phoenix. The Red Gold Phoenix belonged to a branch of the Phoenix Clan with extremely concentrated bloodline, while the Phoenix was the main line of the Phoenix Clan.

He shook his head, not considering matters of the Phoenix and other Divine Beasts.

Looking around him, with a Illusion Spirit Dragon, a Red Gold Phoenix, a Thunder Beast, and a Golden Winged Dapeng, what more could he be dissatisfied with?

In the Cultivation World, only the core cultivators of a superpower had the chance to obtain one of these.

Great Cultivator Shen Ze was quite frustrated; the Golden Winged Dapeng would appear in the sky every few hours, forcing the three Great Cultivators to repeatedly stop and hide themselves.

Their initial progress wasn’t fast, and now it became even slower.

He was worried that if this continued, their plan would fall through.

After finally entering the Divine Palace, only to bring back some resources for Great Cultivators, how could they explain this to the sect?

The cost that the sect bore to send him into the Divine Palace was not small.

”Damn Golden Winged Dapeng!” When he saw the figure of the Golden Winged Dapeng appear again in the distant sky, he couldn’t help but curse softly as the precious mirror emitted a light, enveloping himself and the two Great Cultivators beside him.

Li Shiming shared the Golden Winged Dapeng’s vision. While Great Cultivator Shen Ze’s movements were indeed swift, Li Shiming could discern their route of travel. Thus, using the Golden Winged Dapeng’s vision, he saw Great Cultivator Shen Ze’s figure vanish.

He didn’t instruct the Golden Winged Dapeng to attack the three Great Cultivators of the Righteous Path. Despite the Golden Winged Dapeng being powerful, it would still be very dangerous facing three Peak Great Cultivators.

If the three Great Cultivators of the Righteous Path decided to ignore consequences and aimed to slay the Golden Winged Dapeng first, the Dapeng would be in peril.

What he needed was merely harassment, to stall Great Cultivator Shen Ze’s progress and reach that undiscovered place of opportunity before him.

Having initially headed to the Divine Beast Garden, and from there moving towards the target destination, his distance was farther than Great Cultivator Shen Ze. If he didn’t employ some tactics, even though his advancement speed was quite fast, he had little time left for exploration.

If it came down to encountering the three Great Cultivators, unable to attack them, it would be difficult to outcompete them.

Two days later, the three Great Cultivators from the Demonic Path appeared outside the walls of the Divine Beast Garden, their eyes brimming with delight as they gazed at the Divine Beast Garden.

”This is unexpectedly smooth; it seems fate still favors us!” Grandmaster Leng Hong exclaimed excitedly.

On the way to the Divine Beast Garden, the number of prohibitions had visibly decreased, reducing the danger they encountered significantly. With their coordination, they surprisingly reached the Divine Beast Garden in just over four days.

Considering past experiences, the chances of reaching the Divine Beast Garden were not high; the prohibitions along the way greatly limited their advancement speed, and if unlucky, they might even suffer serious injuries or death midway.

”Could it be that Mr. Li took this path?” Great Cultivator Zongjing pondered aloud, a thought striking him.

Grandmaster Leng Hong’s expression changed but he quickly recovered.

”Even if Mr. Li did take this path, what of it? Every Great Cultivator can only contract one Divine Beast within the Divine Beast Garden; he cannot stop us!” Grandmaster Leng Hong shook his head and laughed.

In truth, the ease with which they reached the Divine Beast Garden was indeed thanks to Li Shiming.
