On this journey to the Divine Kingdom, Ye Chen brought along only Xiaojiu, Little Monkey, and the three True God Guards, Bing Yi, Bing Wu, and Bing Qi.
There's no need to mention Xiaojiu, the exceptionally intelligent Soul Beast that knew a great deal about the Divine Kingdom and was specifically instructed by the old man to accompany Ye Chen on his journey there.
As for Little Monkey, since Heavenly Saint Di Kong could not be found, Ye Chen decided to take the little guy with him to venture in the Divine Kingdom.
In recent times, he had been so occupied with cultivation and dealing with crisis that he hadn't taken good care of Little Monkey. Now that he was headed to the Divine Kingdom, Ye Chen intended to give Little Monkey a chance to grow as well.
The True God Guards, Bing Yi, Bing Wu, and Bing Qi, left by the Divine King, were essential for Ye Chen to complete many of the Divine King's entrusted tasks, and thus had to be brought along.
