Aftet three months of traveling, the Carmelo Family Caravan was in front of one the forest called the shadow forest. They were already half-way to their destination and this is the part of the travel that was really dangerous to the caravan. It was said that after they pass this forest, their travel will be safe until they arrive at the Stone Forest Town.

All the way through here, Cole was just inside the carriage he was in and never came out. He didn't even get to battled the beast or enemies they stumble along the way. It's not becuase he don't want to, Nick just told him that he will only be needed when they encounter something that they can't defeat. That was Nick wants as he said that it was also part of the training of their family disciples. Cole just say yes since Nick was his employer and it's also an advantage for them as he and Ricky can focus on their cultivation.

The strongest cultivator in the caravan next to Cole was an elder of the Carmelo Family and he was on the seventh level of Mana Gathering Stage. They were safe and Cole's presence was just another form of protection.

Apart from that, after three months of travelling, Ricky's cultivation was now on seventh level of Body Tempering Stage. It could be said that he was a genius in cultivation in this area as he reached his cultivation stage with only his meditation. It was all thanks to his Water Spirit Physique as well as the Water Dragon Martial Spirit.

Besides that, he also learned as Cole Transfer to him one of his cultivation of technique, the Heavenly Beast God Cultivation Method. He also want to Transfer the Myriads Beast Soul Branch Technique but the system notice that cultivating this technique was so dangerous that he could die from single mishap and so Cole didn't Transfer it.

Ricky's stage on Heavenly Beast God Technique was already on Stage 2 as he just broke through from it yesterday. The Stage 1 of Heavenly Beast God Technique was called Dantian Hollowing Stage where one needed to open a space in the Dantian where the Beast should reside. And now he was the Stage 2 called the Beast Companionship Stage where he should find his beast and contracted it. Unfortunately, they don't go out from their carriage and didn't encounter beast which means his cultivation in Stage 2 will stagnant until he contracted his companion beast.

As for Cole, for the past three months, he focus on cultivating also the Heavenly Beast God Technique. Most of the stage where already achieved as his companion beast was the Shelly, the Blue Land Turtle. Since Shelly was also his Soulbound Beast, he almost leaped to stages. So for the three months, this was Cole's level in Heavenly Beast God Stage.

He was now in the part where he and Shelly cultivate to together and he need to learn Shelly's affinity. Earth affinity was easy to learn as anywhere he set his feet were has Earth Mana, however, it was not the same for space affinity. Cole can only feel the Space Mana when him and Shelly cultivated to together. Fortunately, Shelly was well versed in Space Mana and can attract good amount of it and Cole's progress in Space affinity can be considered good.

Since it was now dark, the whole caravan stopped outside and decided to rest here for the night. Night was when beast was most active and traveling at night when visibility was low was simply courting death.
