Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 1658 - 875: Contract_2
Under the circumstances where other Divine Beasts cannot leave the Divine Beast Garden, it can, however, use spatial abilities to pass through the entrance and exit of the Divine Beast Garden space to go outside and play.
This is also the reason Li Shiming and the others could see the Golden Winged Dapeng. However, since the Divine Beast Garden is most suitable for the survival of Divine Beasts, the Golden Winged Dapeng would return to the Divine Beast Garden after playing for a while. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Just as the Golden Winged Dapeng was about to chase Li Shiming, Li Shiming’s counterattack arrived.
Li Shiming threw out ’Ruyi Zhenyue Peak,’ and the weight and gravitational field created by the twenty billion Gravity Runes caused the unprepared Golden Winged Dapeng to pause.
’Ruyi Zhenyue Peak’ is indeed a magic treasure, and it’s not surprising that it affected the late-stage fourth-grade Golden Winged Dapeng when fully deployed.
As the Golden Winged Dapeng was controlled, the effect of the Spirit Treasure-level ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ enhanced by the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ in the engine room space, along with twenty ’Thunder Fall Skills’ simultaneously activated by Li Shiming’s twenty brains, all hit the Golden Winged Dapeng.
Li Shiming was very cautious during the attack; he used the IBMz15 to help monitor the status of the Golden Winged Dapeng.
As long as the Golden Winged Dapeng does not die on the spot, he has the capability to heal it.
He had no intention of killing the Golden Winged Dapeng; he wanted to capture it.
The Golden Winged Dapeng let out a shrill scream, and the twenty thunder attacks beyond the peak attack power of a Thunder Cultivator paralyzed its entire body, causing severe internal and external injuries.
But it is, after all, a Divine Beast. Despite such injuries, it still burst out with unimaginable potential.
Under the attack of twenty thunder strikes, its figure suddenly vanished and reappeared near the platform.
Originally wanting to use its spatial abilities to move through space and leave the Divine Beast Garden, due to the impact of the twenty thunder attacks, it could not achieve its goal.
It only managed to move into the area near the platform, still short of the final bit needed to leave the Divine Beast Garden.
It was very aware of one thing, which was the consequence of being defeated in the Divine Beast Garden, something it did not desire.
It did not want to be restrained; it was the lord of the sky, the unconstrained Golden Winged Dapeng.
It looked toward the platform, still contemplating another burst of power.
But a figure appeared on its back, followed by an attack. These attacks were not very damaging, but each contained the power of thunder and ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ leaving it with no strength to move.
This, of course, was Li Shiming’s attack. Upon discovering the Golden Winged Dapeng forcibly using spatial movement near the platform, he guessed its intent to leave the Divine Beast Garden.
Although he did not know the reason, once he judged the Golden Winged Dapeng’s intent, he surely had to thwart it.
After being severely injured, with its strength at a low point, he could no longer use powerful magic treasures to attack, for that might directly kill the Golden Winged Dapeng.
Thus, he chose to fight barehanded, using no magical tools, as his body was the fourth-grade top-quality magic treasure.
Each of his punches was fused with the power of thunder and sword intent, to prevent the Golden Winged Dapeng’s recovery.
The recovery ability of such Divine Beasts is unparalleled compared to cultivators.
The Golden Winged Dapeng became bewildered by the punches; Li Shiming aimed at some non-lethal but easy-to-daze spots.
’Heavenly Human Technique’ granted Li Shiming a supremely powerful physique, and he rarely used his physical body to attack purely, making him feel overly comfortable for a moment.
If it weren’t for his life-bound magic treasure IBMz15’s reminder, he almost killed the Golden Winged Dapeng.
Though the Golden Winged Dapeng had not surrendered, with its fainting, Li Shiming sensed a rule wave power appearing in the space of the Divine Beast Garden.
This rule wave connected him with the Golden Winged Dapeng, and an ’Ancient Contract Paper’ appeared before him.
Looking at the familiar ’Ancient Contract Paper,’ he still had a similar one in his soul crystal ring, clearly indicating the Half-step Great Power Yang Xing’s Thunder Beast was contracted in the Divine Beast Garden.
The content on the ’Ancient Contract Paper’ was the same as the previous one, the only difference being the Contracted Beast was the Golden Winged Dapeng.
While he wanted to see more in the Divine Beast Garden, a force of rejection emerged from the space, sending him out of the Divine Beast Garden.
By his side was the still fainted Golden Winged Dapeng, poor Golden Winged Dapeng, still unaware it had been contracted.
But the Golden Winged Dapeng was born in the Divine Beast Garden, as long as it was defeated by a cultivator within the Divine Beast Garden, if it surrenders or loses the ability to move, it would be automatically contracted.
The Golden Winged Dapeng knew this, so upon encountering the invincible Li Shiming, its plan was to escape the Divine Beast Garden.
Outside the Divine Beast Garden, even if it died in battle, it would not become Li Shiming’s Contracted Beast.
As Li Shiming felt the connection with the Golden Winged Dapeng, he smiled and waved, sending a white light upon the Golden Winged Dapeng, followed by continuous white lights descending.
This was him using the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills to heal the Golden Winged Dapeng’s injuries.
Although his ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills healing effects weren’t as good as his avatar Li Yuanba, it was still a healing Divine Skill, capable of healing any injuries as long as they were not beyond his current realm of life.
The Golden Winged Dapeng suffered greatly, but under the successive ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills, it quickly awoke.
Awakened, it was still in a daze; upon seeing Li Shiming, it recognized him as the human cultivator who attacked it. Even before it reacted, the force of the contract made it understand what had transpired.
With a look worse than death, it stared blankly at Li Shiming.
When Li Shiming reached out his hand, even if unwilling, its head instinctively moved before Li Shiming’s hand, making it convenient for him to stroke.
Li Shiming could perceive the Golden Winged Dapeng’s thoughts, and with the ’Ancient Contract Paper,’ their relationship could face no issues.
As for making the Golden Winged Dapeng feel better, he was certainly very experienced.
He took out a Fourth Grade Late Stage Advanced Beast Essence Pill, which he retained while refining Spirit Pills for the Luanyang Palace, being the highest level general Spirit Beast Spirit Pill currently.
Though Luanyang Palace’s main Spiritual Pets are Phoenixes, due to their limited numbers, a large portion of female cultivators contracted other Spirit Beasts with Phoenix Clan bloodline.
Hence Luanyang Palace developed corresponding Spirit Pills for all levels of Spirit Beasts from low to high.
The Golden Winged Dapeng was extremely intelligent, and as soon as Li Shiming took out the Fourth Grade Late Stage Advanced Beast Essence Pill, its eyes fixed on it.
It could sense that this Fourth Grade Late Stage Advanced Beast Essence Pill was better than any Spiritual Medicine or Spirit Fruit it had consumed before.
Before it pondered on whether to bow its head, the issue lasted less than a second before it extended its head to actively request the Fourth Grade Late Stage Advanced Beast Essence Pill.
Though the Golden Winged Dapeng was indeed exceedingly proud, even upon successful contracting, it internalized some of the contract’s powers.
But upon bowing its head, the effectiveness of the ’Ancient Contract Paper’ was maximized, and it fully acknowledged Li Shiming.
Li Shiming placed the Fourth Grade Late Stage Advanced Beast Essence Pill at the Golden Winged Dapeng’s mouth, and it swallowed it in one go.
"Come, meet your partners!" Li Shiming summoned Little Feng, the Illusion Spirit Dragon, and the Thunder Beast, though he didn’t summon the Heavenly Ghost, as its presence was somewhat peculiar and would be introduced to the Golden Winged Dapeng later.
The Golden Winged Dapeng, upon seeing Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon, sensed their Phoenix and Dragon Clan bloodlines, and had no longer any resistance to becoming Li Shiming’s Spiritual Pet.
The Dragon Phoenix was comparable in grade to the Golden Winged Dapeng; however, this Golden Winged Dapeng’s power exceeded its kin, making Li Shiming’s possession of Dragon and Phoenix Spiritual Pets not feel alone.
