Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 55: Perfect plan, rapid improvement in Martial Dao

Old Li, upon hearing your words, immediately takes you there.

This time, Old Li has no doubts about you whatsoever.

After bringing you to the location, he turns and leaves.

You have been living here for five years now. Your character and contributions to Spine Mountain have long surpassed countless others.

There is simply no reason for him to doubt you.

Of course, this is also your intention. If Old Li were to suspect you and stay by your side, even if you could repair the formation left by Lu Wuya, he would likely obstruct you.

After all, this formation was left by Senior Lu Wuya and is the lifeline for all the cultivators of Spine Mountain when facing Heavenly Thunder.

There is no way Old Li would let you tamper with this formation so easily.

Now that Old Li completely trusts you and isn't following you, you can freely study the formation and attempt to repair it, preventing its imminent collapse.

In the nineteenth year, you spend a year studying the formation left by Lu Wuya.

Although this formation is significantly inferior to the sealing formation of the Southern Regions, you believe it is still an immortal formation.

Because even after a year of study, you still can't understand much of it.

Even though you are currently a seventh-grade Formation Master, you believe your theoretical knowledge of formations is on par with that of an eighth-grade Formation Master.

A formation that is still largely incomprehensible to you must undoubtedly be an immortal formation.

An eighth-grade theoretical foundation might not be enough to set up an eighth-grade formation, but it should be sufficient to understand most ninth-grade formations.

After all, the formation is right in front of you, akin to having the answers to a test.

If you can't understand it even with the answers, it can only mean the level difference is too vast.

You think perhaps everyone, including Old Li, has underestimated Senior Lu Wuya.

He claims that Senior Lu Wuya's strength was insufficient, but can someone who can set up an immortal formation really be weak?

At the very least, you believe he is certainly not weak. With your understanding of formations, it is impossible to have the spiritual energy to support such a complex immortal formation without corresponding cultivation.

You don't dwell on it further.

Although you still don't understand much of this formation, it doesn't matter.

You only need to understand the guiding routes of the formation.

After all, you already learned the reason for this formation's collapse in your last simulation.

This formation guides Heavenly Thunder to the underground of Spine Mountain, and the violent Heavenly Thunder underground causes the formation to collapse.

As long as you understand the guiding routes of this formation and follow them to locate the Heavenly Thunder underground of Spine Mountain, you can set up a small lightning-guiding formation nearby.

This will slowly guide the sealed Heavenly Thunder out of the underground, dissipating it bit by bit.

As long as you consume the underground Heavenly Thunder, you believe you can delay the collapse of this formation.

In the twenty-second year, after three years, you finally follow the guiding routes of the formation and locate the underground Heavenly Thunder.

In the twenty-third year, you set up an inverted seventh-grade lightning-guiding formation at the confirmed location.

If other formation masters who don't know the reason saw this, they would definitely think your setup is nonsense.

Who sets up a lightning-guiding formation facing the ground? Where would the underground thunder come from?

At the moment your formation takes shape, a green thunderbolt shoots out from the ground through the lightning-guiding formation.

With a thunderous "boom," it strikes you directly.

Your physical body is instantly torn apart, severely injured.

But this is within your expectations.

After all, it is a formation you set up, and you had already calculated the approximate strength of the thunderbolt it would guide out.

Soon, the injuries on your body begin to heal visibly.

During this healing process, your Martial Dao cultivation also starts to increase slowly.

Seeing this, you grin. Indeed, the Yimu Divine Body is a perfect match for Martial Dao cultivation.

In the following days, you are baptized by thunder daily.

You are in pain and excitement, the pain from being struck by thunder every day is unbearable.

But the excitement comes from your rapidly increasing Martial Dao cultivation.

You think your plan is simply perfect.

Not only does it delay the collapse of the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya, potentially extending your simulation time, but it also strengthens your Martial Dao cultivation!

In the twenty-fourth year, your Martial Dao breaks through to the fourth level of the Qi Motion Realm.

In the twenty-fifth year, your Martial Dao breaks through to the fifth level of the Qi Motion Realm.

In the twenty-sixth year, your Martial Dao breaks through to the sixth level of the Qi Motion Realm.

Advancing one minor realm per year, this speed of Martial Dao improvement far exceeds your expectations.

However, after reaching the sixth level of the Qi Motion Realm, you feel that your Martial Dao breakthroughs have slowed down significantly.

Because the strength of the previous thunderbolts can no longer severely injure you, they can only cause minor injuries!

In the twenty-seventh year, you adjust the lightning-guiding formation to increase the strength of the thunderbolts it guides out.

In the twenty-eighth year, your Martial Dao breaks through to the seventh level of the Qi Motion Realm.

After the adjustment, your Martial Dao cultivation begins to break through rapidly again.

In the thirty-first year, your Martial Dao has reached the peak of the Qi Motion Realm.

But at this time, you discover a serious problem.

Because you have a twelfth-grade Golden Core and have achieved the Divine Dao, breaking through major realms requires both your Immortal Dao and Martial Dao to reach their peaks simultaneously.

Now, your Martial Dao has reached the peak of the Qi Motion Realm, but your Immortal Dao cultivation is still at the first level of Core Formation.

So, you have no choice but to temporarily remove the lightning-guiding formation and stop your Martial Dao cultivation.

But by doing so, you can no longer consume the underground Heavenly Thunder of Spine Mountain. How long can the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya last?

Although you have consumed some of the underground Heavenly Thunder through the lightning-guiding formation, you don't think it's enough.

After all, your strength is insufficient, and the amount consumed is actually not much.

You then find Old Li and tell him that the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya has a problem.

Old Li's expression changes slightly. He has long known about the imminent collapse of the formation, but he doesn't know the specific reason.

Soon, Old Li gathers some elders of Spine Mountain for a meeting.

A few days pass, and Old Li and the others finally conclude their meeting.

You don't know what they discussed specifically.

In the end, Old Li finds you and says that although your formation skills are impressive, you are only a seventh-grade Formation Master, and the problems you see may not be accurate.

Rashly tampering with the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya could lead to unforeseen dangers.

You understand in your heart that Old Li's words mean the meeting didn't approve your proposal.

They don't believe you, or perhaps they do, but they don't dare to take the risk.

You can understand Old Li and the others. After all, this formation is the only lifeline for the cultivators of Spine Mountain to avoid Heavenly Thunder. They won't take risks unless absolutely necessary.

But will it be too late when it becomes absolutely necessary?
