Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1655 - 874: Divine Beast

Though a tinge of regret lingered in Li Shiming's heart, one discovery brought him immense joy: the fresh scan data of the Divine Perception Stele now stored within IBMz15's database.

With prior success scanning the Sword Intent Stele, the Divine Perception Stele ranked far higher, yet IBMz15 had evolved far beyond its former self. After Li Shiming's breakthrough to Great Cultivator, its computational prowess had surged exponentially.

The scan this round captured only the enormous data volume from the Divine Perception Stele, failing to build its virtual model.

Nevertheless, given sufficient time ahead, IBMz15 could keep experimenting, using this data to potentially recreate the Divine Perception Stele virtually.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li, it seems you won’t take long to catch up with our realm!" Great Cultivator Shen Ze smiled as he offered his congratulations.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for giving me the opportunity!" Li Shiming replied with a grateful smile and a courteous bow.

He sensed that the initial Great Cultivator to comprehend the Divine Perception Stele held the greatest edge in gaining insights.

This stemmed from his exit from the Divine Perception Stele, where he detected the stele's energy drain—his single insight had drained a massive chunk of its power.

Naturally, revealing this to the Peak Great Cultivators was impossible; IBMz15's scans and data analysis uncovered it, beyond what ordinary Great Cultivators could perceive.

"Mr. Li, this is where we part ways; up ahead, each acts according to chance, see you in ten days!" Great Cultivator Shen Ze, puzzled by Li Shiming's thanks for being first, stuck to the plan and addressed him.

Li Shiming grasped the intent—these Peak Great Cultivators had arranged it deliberately.

From this point, each Peak Great Cultivator pursued personal aims, drawing in sect secrets.

The six Peak Great Cultivators knew one another well enough to predict rivals' goals, but Li Shiming, the outsider Great Cultivator, trailing them could complicate matters.

Bound by contract, they couldn't strike at Li Shiming, and even if permitted, victory seemed unlikely.

Thus, after conferring, they let Li Shiming comprehend the Divine Perception Stele first. By the next Great Cultivator's turn, Li Shiming would have scouted solo for six hours, sparing any interference.

"Then I shall take my leave!" Li Shiming cupped his fists and declared.

In his thoughts, the ten-day timeline casually dropped by Great Cultivator Shen Ze registered—they'd exit the Divine Palace in ten days.

His brows creased faintly; he figured monitoring the Divine Perception Stele was wise, tracking the Peak Great Cultivators' returns.

He remained ignorant of Divine Palace mechanics—did departure demand personal return, or would the palace eject them automatically?

Advancing with utmost caution, he braced for emerging restrictions.

Once far from the Divine Perception Stele, the initial restriction appeared.

Ready for it, he unleashed ten ’Thunder Fall Skills’ simultaneously, shattering the restriction's assaults.

Pressing on, he followed a dim trail etched on the ground, amid countless similar paths; unsure which led where, he picked one at random.

Resources weren't squandered—if Great Cultivator-grade items dotted the ground, he harvested them.

Solo travel freed him from fretting over Spiritual Power Pattern leaks, granting swifter, freer movement than with the seven Great Cultivators.

After covering decent ground, he deployed a drone satellite.

This drone satellite boasted stealth and endurance, fortified against Cultivator detection via advanced tech tweaks, including Spirit Stone and Spirit Gathering Formation hybrid power.

Core tech functions minimized Spiritual Power Pattern emissions, while IBMz15-optimized Spirit Stone arrays and Spirit Gathering setups ran at bare-minimum output, rendering detection near-impossible.

Launching it early, Li Shiming feared restrictions might obliterate it.

Be it fortune, nearness to the Divine Perception Stele, or the drone's unique traits dodging triggers, it soared unimpeded high above the stele.

IBMz15 now tracked the six Peak Great Cultivators' motions.

Secured by this safeguard, ease washed over him—he'd know precisely when to head back.

"Mr. Shen, this Mr. Li’s fortune is quite remarkable; will he snatch our fortunes ahead of us?" Demon Cultivation Sect Master cautioned gravely.

Attack forbidden, still letting Li Shiming venture first stirred unease in the Demon Cultivation Sect Master.

"Mr. Zong, it seems you’ve forgotten how much Spiritual Power Pattern Mr. Li has consumed; along the way, his casting frequency is the highest, and I estimate his Spiritual Power Pattern can last three days at most before running out!" Master Ji Chuan smiled and responded before Great Cultivator Shen Ze could.

En route, Li Shiming cast spells quickest, his Thunder Skill strikes lightning-fast, often pioneering with ’Thunder Fall Skill’.
