"How come the Golden-Winged Roc appears here?" Great Monk Shen Ze suppressed his voice of surprise, for he was afraid that the voice would be too loud and be discovered by the Golden-Winged Roc in the sky.

"Could it be that there was a problem with the restrictions in the Divine Beast Garden, allowing the Golden-Winged Roc to escape?" Great Monk Ji Chuang followed.

Li Shiming immediately noticed the place called the Divine Beast Garden. After being with these great monks for a few days, it was the first time that he heard information about the deeper parts of the temple from the great monks.

"There is no way anything can go wrong in the Divine Beast Garden. If there really is a problem, the Golden-Winged Roc will not be here alone!" said the great monk Leng Hong of the Demonic Path, shaking his head.

His eyes were fixed on the golden-winged Roc, filled with fear and greed.

The reason for fear is that he does not want to be discovered by the Golden-Winged Roc in such a place, and the reason for greed is that the Golden-Winged Roc is a divine beast, and such a creature is the most top-level spiritual pet for any great cultivator.

More importantly, the divine beasts have other special functions, especially the divine beasts that are consistent with their own attributes, which can affect the process of the great monk's promotion to a powerful one.

Therefore, the Divine Beast Garden is also one of the main goals of several great monks present. Being able to enter the Divine Beast Garden once and obtain a divine beast pet is worthwhile entering the temple.

"Why can the golden-winged Roc fly, but we can't?" Li Shiming asked at this time.

He did not ask where the Divine Beast Garden was, but instead asked this question which was not very meaningful for the exploration.

He also understood that if he really asked any important questions related to the exploration, these six top monks would never pay any attention to him.

"The Golden-Winged Roc was born in the temple. It will not be affected by the temple's restrictions. The restrictions in the sky are only aimed at foreign monks like us!" Great Monk Shen Ze did not hide it and answered after thinking for a while.

Li Shiming looked up at the sky again, and even after using his Divine Vision to its full potential, he still did not see any restrictions.

He knew that his own realm was too low and the restriction level here was too high, far beyond what he could detect.

He looked at the Golden-winged Roc again, which was a legendary mythical beast. Although he did not know whether this Golden-winged Roc was the legendary mythical beast, judging from the aura emitted by the Golden-winged Roc in the sky, its aura could definitely be ranked on par with the top bloodlines of the dragon and phoenix clans.

The Golden-Winged Roc has the aura of the five elements, which actually matches Li Shiming's attributes.

It’s a pity that not to mention the existence of the restrictions in the sky, even if he was willing to take the risk to subdue the Golden-Winged Roc, the six top monks would not allow it.

The golden-winged Roc circled for a while and then flew away.

Great monk Shen Ze retracted the mirror light, and the other great monks were exposed to the outside world.

"Let's not rest for too long, let's keep moving forward!" suggested Master Leng Hong.

His proposal was approved by other great monks, and they took advantage of the absence of the Golden-Winged Roc to advance a further distance.

In the forest on the second hill, the number of various resources increased.

Li Shiming had been calculating the number of times he would attack, and he set the maximum limit of total consumption at three-fifths of the total spiritual power of a Nascent Soul.

This is a very reasonable amount of spiritual power consumption. He doesn't want other great monks to discover the secret of his total spiritual power because of his recklessness.

In fact, all the top monks know well how many thunder attacks Li Shiming, at his level, can unleash.

He didn't want to do anything special. Hiding his spiritual power would make him safer and give him more cards.

After walking for another day, the Golden-Winged Roc did not appear again, which made the monks feel much more at ease.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, fellow Daoists, can you move ten meters to the left?" Li Shiming suddenly asked the great monk Shen Ze.

Upon hearing this, Great Monk Shen Ze couldn't help but look to the left ten meters away, where there were three spiritual tea trees.

"The fourth-grade tea tree is indeed a top-notch spiritual tea tree. It can still be of some use to Fellow Daoist Li. I think we should move towards that direction!" He said to the other great monks with a smile.

The other great monks had no objection. Li Shiming's joining greatly increased their gains and exploration speed.

I had never made any requests before, so it would be hard to justify not agreeing to this not-so-difficult request.

As for the fourth-grade tea tree, it does have some use for great monks, but it has no effect on the peak great monks. It can only be regarded as an ordinary resource for great monks.

In this environment where there are resources for great monks everywhere, if Li Shiming hadn't suggested it, it would be impossible for these top great monks to change their direction for the sake of three fourth-grade tea trees.

When moving to the left, they encountered a restriction. The great monks worked together to offset the attack of the restriction.

"I want these three tea trees. They will be counted as my great monk resources!" Li Shiming said as he dug up three tea trees.

He did not attach much importance to the resources of the great monks, mainly because he had too many high-level elixirs of the great monks on him, enough for him to consume for two hundred years.

This was the result of him distributing a portion of the great monks' high-level elixirs to his clone Li Yuanba. Almost all the great monks' elixirs accumulated in the immortal cultivation world on his side were refined into elixirs through his hands. Under the effect of the 'One Hundred and One Elixir Secret', he was equivalent to being supplied with great monks' resources by the entire immortal cultivation world.

Three fourth-grade tea trees, which are an extremely rare variety of spiritual trees.

He had only seen low-grade Asking Tea trees before, but had never seen a fourth-grade Asking Tea tree. However, upgrading a low-grade Asking Tea tree to the fourth grade was no easier than finding a fourth-grade Asking Tea tree again.

Perhaps the six top monks thought that the fourth-grade spiritual tea was useless to them, but it still depended on who was in charge of making the spiritual tea.

With Li Shiming's tea-frying skills, even those relatively ordinary fourth-grade spiritual teas can be fried into top-level spiritual teas that are useful to peak great monks in his hands, not to mention this fourth-grade tea for asking questions.

Returning to the previous route and exploring for more than a day, Li Shiming felt that he was almost reaching the farthest location recorded on the jade slip of the map.

He vaguely saw a stone tablet standing in front of him, and as he got closer, the stone tablet became clearer.

The six great monks heaved a sigh of relief in unison, and their whole bodies couldn't help but relax.

"We have arrived at the Monument to the Gods. It is finally safe here!" Great Monk Shen Ze said with a smile.

"Each person only has three hours to comprehend the Divine Tablet. I heard that no cultivator has comprehended anything in the past few hundred years. Some seniors suspect that the Divine Tablet has lost its function!" Great cultivator Ji Chuang shook his head and said.

"There is no problem with the Divine Stele. I have read the records. There have been things that no cultivators have been able to comprehend for thousands of years. Perhaps..." Great Monk Leng Hong couldn't help but stop here.

He saw the other two great demon monks looking at him, waiting for him to continue.

He is not stupid. Not to mention the three great monks of the righteous path, even if he said bad things about their predecessors, neither the righteous nor the evil ones could do anything to him.

However, if the two great demonic monks spread the news that he spoke ill of his predecessor, he would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, he stopped talking and didn't say it out loud.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you go first!" Great Monk Shen Ze turned and said to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming was slightly stunned, but did not refuse.

Although he didn't know why Master Shen Ze wanted him to gain enlightenment first, he thought he must have some plan.

However, with the contract in hand, he doesn't have to worry about these six top monks harming him.

He nodded and walked towards the monument to the gods.

Coming before the Monument to the Gods, looking at it, on the surface it appears to be just an ordinary stone tablet.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the monument, and tried to pull it up from the ground.

"Fellow Daoist Li, there is no need to try. Our predecessors have done this before. This divine tablet and the temple are an integrated whole. Unless you have the ability to shake the temple, it is impossible to pull out the divine tablet!" Great monk Leng Hong reminded with a smile.

Li Shiming discovered when he picked it up that although the Stele of the Gods was just a stone tablet erected on the ground, when he grabbed it, he felt that what he was holding was just a corner of the Stele of the Gods that was exposed outside.

Although the monument was clearly right in front of him, he felt that it was so huge.

He did not try to collect the Divine Stele again, but sat cross-legged in front of the Divine Stele.

He released his spiritual sense and wrapped it around the divine tablet.

At the same time, the computing power of the IBM z15, the natal magic weapon, was fully activated, and it began to scan the monument of the gods bit by bit.

Just as his mind was immersed in the spiritual scan, he suddenly sensed a strange change. The 'Heavenly Art' in his body began to operate without any warning.

When the 'Heavenly Art' was in operation, a huge amount of spiritual energy entered his body, increasing his spiritual power at an unimaginable speed.

Li Shiming is different from normal great monks. The Divine Stele brings him into a strange experience, but that is only his main brain. He still has one hundred and ninety brains available.

He found that the main brain was brought into some mysterious state by the divine tablet. According to the perception of other brains, his body did not change at all. Although the "Heavenly Art" in his body started to work, no large amount of spiritual energy entered his body.

This is the interior of the temple, and the spiritual energy inside the temple cannot be absorbed by the great monk for his own use.

Although he knew that what the main brain experienced was an illusion, he did not take the initiative to get out of it. This monument to the gods was so highly praised by several top monks, it must have its purpose.

At present, the state of the main brain is still under control, and there is no need to worry about any accidents caused by the main brain falling into hallucinations.

He can use other brains to wake up the main brain at any time.

In the main brain, Li Shiming was practicing the 'Heavenly Art', and the 'Heavenly Art' was improving at an unimaginable speed.

Although this speed of cultivation is somewhat out of the norm, the feeling of improvement from the 'Heavenly Art' is truly conveyed.

At the same time, as his realm continued to improve, his understanding of the five elements rules was also constantly improving.

"Fellow Daoist Li has triggered the enlightenment of the Divine Stele!" Great Monk Shen Ze exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the faint fluorescence emitted by the Divine Stele.

They were just talking about how no cultivator had been able to gain enlightenment from the divine tablet for a thousand years, and Li Shiming had already entered into enlightenment.

"Fellow Daoist Li's realm is too low, and this enlightenment was wasted. If he had entered the temple at the peak realm of a great cultivator and gained enlightenment, I'm afraid the gains would have been huge!" Great cultivator Ji Chuang shook his head and said.

He was not surprised at all that Li Shiming had entered a state of enlightenment.

These top great monks could tell Li Shiming's age at a glance. He had reached the middle stage of a great monk before he was less than two hundred years old. It was rare for someone with such strength to appear in thousands of years.

Not to mention the powerful fighting ability shown by Li Shiming. He can fight against and defeat the peak great monk at the middle stage of great monk realm.

Unfortunately, the insights gained from the Divine Monument are based on one’s cultivation level. The insights gained by Li Shiming at this level can only be those of a mid-stage great cultivator.

And if these top monks gain enlightenment at the Divine Monument, then it will be the enlightenment of top monks, and it can even make their promotion to great powers smoother.

"What a waste of insights! With this insight, the time it takes for Brother Li to be promoted to a peak great cultivator will be shortened by more than half!" Great cultivator Leng Hong said as he looked at Li Shiming with some jealousy.

Think about it, he himself was at the great monk realm, it took him a thousand years of practice to reach the peak of the great monk realm.

And considering Li Shiming's current situation, no matter how slowly he progresses, Li Shiming will be promoted to the peak great monk realm before the age of four hundred.

After hearing what Master Leng Hong said, the other masters looked at Li Shiming with envy in their eyes.

The six top great monks from both the righteous and evil sides never thought about whether Li Shiming had the ability to be promoted to the top great monk.

Although only a very small number of great monks have the opportunity to be promoted to the peak, they all believe that Li Shiming will definitely be promoted to the peak great monk.

Before, Li Shiming might have encountered trouble in the great cultivator realm because he took the wrong path of cultivation and was unable to be promoted to the peak great cultivator. But after this experience of enlightenment from the Divine Monument, Li Shiming's promotion to the peak great cultivator became a smooth journey without any obstacles.

In Li Shiming's main brain, he has been promoted to the peak great cultivator and has begun to try to break through.

Unfortunately, just before he was about to break through, he was out of his state of perception.

He stood in front of the monument to the gods, wanting to enter the state of enlightenment again.

But no matter how his spiritual consciousness touched the Divine Tablet, he could no longer trigger any reaction from the Divine Tablet.

"Just a little bit!" Li Shiming muttered to himself.

According to his feelings and the calculations of IBMz15, the illusion that the main brain entered might not be an illusion, but rather a deduction made by the God-Sense Monument based on the "Heavenly Secret" technique.

Let Li Shiming, who is in the middle stage of great monk, feel the entire process from the middle stage to the late stage and finally to the peak.

Although there was no change in his body, in terms of perception, he had all the insights of a top-level great monk.

These insights included his subsequent cultivation, including the bottlenecks he encountered when he was promoted to the late stage and peak of the "Heavenly Art", and everything before he was ready to break through to the great power.

If the Divine Monument had not pushed him out of the state of enlightenment, he would have been able to experience the process of breaking through to great power again. Perhaps he would have known all the secrets of breaking through to great power and would no longer have to try so hard to obtain the corresponding classics from him.
