Chapter 111: The Danger of the Spine Mountain Formation

"However, to be honest, this information doesn't really help you much."

"It only serves to completely extinguish your thoughts of leaving the Southern Regions through the Endless Sea."

"So, you head towards Spine Mountain."

"You know very well that fifty-six years have passed in the simulation, and the Heavenly Thunder has already descended upon the Southern Regions."

"But you still want to take a look at Spine Mountain."

"After all, this time, Old Li and the others at Spine Mountain have been working together to eliminate the underground Heavenly Thunder."

"Although you know that the collapse of the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya is inevitable,"

"With so many people working together, there's a good chance they could delay the collapse."

"If they really managed to delay the collapse, then you think that perhaps the Heavenly Thunder from a few years ago didn't wipe out everyone at Spine Mountain."

"In that case, you might still have a chance to venture into the Desert of Death with the cultivators of Spine Mountain and leave."

"In the fifty-seventh year, you observe the scene at Spine Mountain from a distance, and a smile forms on your lips."

"The people at Spine Mountain are temporarily safe and haven't been struck down by the Heavenly Thunder."

"You know this is because their efforts to eliminate the underground Heavenly Thunder have been effective."

"As long as the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya hasn't completely collapsed, they can still survive by relying on it."

"But as you approach Spine Mountain, your expression darkens."

"Now, whether in terms of cultivation or formations, you have surpassed your past self."

"You can sense the underground Heavenly Thunder roaring beneath Spine Mountain."

"It seems like it could break through the ground at any moment."

"You know that the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya won't hold out much longer."

"Thinking of this, you don't hesitate and quickly head towards the formation."

"When you arrive at the formation and see the scene inside, your heart fills with sorrow."

"At this moment, everyone in the formation is emaciated, and many have already died, leaving only their skeletons."

"Because many have died, the fixed Thunder Conduction Formations you left behind are now unmanned, so you see many people enduring several bolts of underground Heavenly Thunder, trying to absorb and dissipate them."

"You can tell that many of the cultivators at Spine Mountain are on the verge of collapse."

"Your appearance is immediately noticed by everyone."

"Your father, Jiang Fushan, is overjoyed but only gives you a slight smile, not daring to move."

"Given this, it's better to stay and try to save everyone."

"You have some confidence in your heart."

"And once you save them, after they leave the formation, you think you'll benefit too."

"At the very least, when you venture into the Desert of Death, you'll have a chance to leave the Southern Regions."

"Although leaving from there isn't safe, you still want to see what's on the other side and gather more information."

"Thinking of this, you use the Eye of Insight to check your father's cultivation, at the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing."

"Good, you swallow hard, thinking you might get a chance to eat dragon meat."

"Of course, besides that, staying has another benefit."

"You can use the underground Heavenly Thunder to temper your body and enhance your Martial Dao."

"Having made your decision, you don't hesitate any longer and join the group dissipating the Heavenly Thunder."

"Yes, your plan is simple and straightforward: you will dissipate the Heavenly Thunder yourself."

"After all, you practice Martial Dao and have the Yimu Divine Body to repair your body, so you can dissipate the Heavenly Thunder faster than your father, Jiang Fushan."

"As long as you can dissipate the underground Heavenly Thunder to a stable level, preventing an instant collapse,"

"You can then have Old Li and your father, along with other strong cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage, take the lower-level cultivators and escape the formation."

"With their Tribulation Crossing cultivation, as long as the formation doesn't collapse instantly and they have a few seconds of buffer time, it will be enough to escape."

"You immediately move aside a dozen Body Integration stage cultivators who are about to collapse."

"And take over the underground Heavenly Thunder they were enduring."

"In an instant, dozens of bolts of underground Heavenly Thunder strike you."

"You feel the power and don't sense much."

"So, you glance at the nearby Great Ascension stage cultivators."

"Feeling a surge of confidence, you also take over the Heavenly Thunder they were enduring."

"For a moment, they all look at you with gratitude."

"After all, they were already on the verge of collapse, and now someone is helping them bear the burden. It's like being given a new lease on life!"

"And as you take over the underground Heavenly Thunder from these Great Ascension stage cultivators, you feel it for a moment, and it feels like a massage."

"You're overjoyed, realizing your body has become so strong."

"So, you shout boldly, 'Those who can't hold on, direct all the Heavenly Thunder to me.'"
