[You ask her, "Is it really possible to leave the Southern Regions from the four fierce beast-guarded places?"]
[This question has always puzzled you.]
[After all, except for the Endless Sea, you've actually left the other fierce beast-guarded places in simulations.]
[But those places are either filled with murderous intent or are the Dragon Tomb. The only slightly better place, the Great Wilderness, doesn't belong to any other domain.]
[Bai Ruoxue frowns upon hearing your question.]
[After a moment of thought, she tells you that according to records, all four fierce beast-guarded places can indeed lead out of the Southern Regions to other domains.]
[However, she hasn't personally visited all of them.]
[She entered the Southern Regions through the Endless Sea.]
[Hearing this, you become somewhat skeptical of Bai Ruoxue's records.]
[Without personal verification, you find it hard to trust.]
[Three days pass in the blink of an eye, and Bai Ruoxue leaves.]
[And you finally gain your freedom.]
[Although Bai Ruoxue didn't make things difficult for you these past few days, she didn't seem to fully trust you either, keeping you bound with a magical artifact.]
[It wasn't until she left that she released you.]
[This situation makes you sigh; this woman is truly fickle!]
[In previous simulations, she even provided resources, took you as a disciple when she saw your talent, and led you to break through the Endless Sea.]
[This time, despite your improved talent and strength, she didn't trust you.]
[But it doesn't matter.]
[After all, you've achieved your goal this time.]
[As long as you've met Bai Ruoxue, you can use the one-time talent "Face-to-Face" at any time.]
[When the day comes that you want to leave the Southern Regions, you can use this talent to appear directly in front of Bai Ruoxue!]
[Thinking of this, you can't help but smile.]
[This time, you feel you can freely roam the Southern Regions.]
[After all, you now have strength and backup plans; what can those Immortal Slaves do to you?]
[In the third year, you brazenly rob Immortal Slaves everywhere, even single-handedly robbing several Spirit Stone mines of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[Your Spirit Stone reserves increase significantly.]
[In the fourth year, your reputation spreads throughout the Southern Regions, and the cultivators of Spine Mountain seek you out for a powerful alliance.]
[In the fifth year, you arrive at Spine Mountain and help its people set up high-grade Gathering Spirit Arrays.]
[Your talent in Formation Dao amazes the people of Spine Mountain.]
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yifeng appears in the simulation.
He doesn't hesitate and begins to devour the Heavenly Thunder drawn from underground.
As the thunder enters his stomach, he hears a few "boom boom" sounds, feeling no discomfort.
Simultaneously, a trace of insight about thunder appears in his mind.
Although it's just a trace, Jiang Yifeng can already confirm that the Taotie Divine Body can indeed help him comprehend the Law of Thunder.
Thus, he trains even more diligently.
Every day, he devours the underground thunder of Spine Mountain without rest.
He consumes at least three to five hundred bolts a day.
Such desperate efforts yield significant results.
Three years pass, and Jiang Yifeng feels he's touched the threshold of the Law of Thunder.
He thinks it won't be long before he fully grasps it.
By then, he can use the basic Law of Thunder against enemies, greatly enhancing his combat strength.
However, this kind of training also brings a slight side effect to Jiang Yifeng.
For instance, his mouth is now a bit black, and his speech is somewhat scorching.
But none of this matters.
Jiang Yifeng doesn't mind at all.
Time passes day by day.
Five more years go by in the blink of an eye.
At this point, Jiang Yifeng's comprehension of the Law of Thunder finally reaches the entry level.
This took more time than he originally anticipated.
The closer he got to the threshold, the harder it became to improve.
Until now, Jiang Yifeng can no longer make any progress.
He thinks it might be due to his insufficient strength and the thunder he devoured not being strong enough.
However, with such improvement, he is quite satisfied.
He doesn't plan to risk devouring thunder beyond his limits.
Since he can't further improve the Law of Thunder, Jiang Yifeng doesn't want to waste the deep simulation time.
He turns to study the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya.
In previous simulations, although he studied it, he didn't fully understand it due to his insufficient formation skills.
Now that he is an eighth-grade Formation Master, much improved from before, he is sure to gain new insights this time.
