The lightning on the Black Mountain could instantly destroy spirit weapons, so Qin Feng naturally wouldn't go up the mountain directly. He sat at the foot of the mountain and started to set up a formation, trying to draw the lightning down.
After he could set up a level five spirit gathering formation, Qin Feng tried to set up a level five lightning storage formation. He found that once he broke through the bottleneck and understood the essence of the formation, he just needed to make some slight changes and he would be able to understand everything.
The first level five lightning storage formation was formed. Because it was his first time setting it up, he spent a lot of time and energy. Fortunately, the level five lightning storage formation was successfully activated, proving that Qin Feng had completely stepped into the ranks of a level five spirit formation master.
Next, the level five lightning storage formation became easier. Not only did the formation speed become faster, but the energy in the formation also became stronger.
After spending half a day, Qin Feng created a total of fifty level five lightning storage formations. He let out a long breath and focused his eyes on the Black Mountain. Now was the time to test the effect of these lightning storage formations and whether the lightning on the Black Mountain could leave the Black Mountain.
Swoosh!
With a wave of his hand, a dozen formation flags fell to the ground.
A loud sound came from the mountain peak. Several waist-thick black lightning bolts exploded a few hundred meters in front of Qin Feng.
At the moment of the explosion, Qin Feng felt the ground shake violently as if there was an earthquake. He saw the level five lightning storage formation that he activated explode and his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised!
He was shocked by the power of the lightning on the Black Mountain. At the same time, he was happy that the sea of lightning on the Black Mountain could be drawn out.
Qin Feng realized that the lightning bolts could be drawn out from the Black Mountain. This way, he could seal the lightning source in the energy slot and provide it to the Hundred Mile Light Sniper.
The level five lightning storage formation that was destroyed was just a test for Qin Feng to test the power of the lightning bolts. Since a level five lightning storage formation couldn't withstand the power of the lightning source, then he would just activate a few more.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
For a time, Qin Fen's hands shot out unceasingly. Hundreds of array flags scattered like flowers from the heavens. Several hundred meters in front of him emitted bursts of strange energy fluctuations. This time, Qin Fen simply activated the remaining 49 Thunder Storing Arrays. He didn't believe that they would be destroyed by the Thunder Source.
The moment the formation was activated, an earth-shattering sound came from the Black Mountain!
This time, dozens of black lightning bolts, each as thick as a human's waist, descended from the sky like dozens of black dragons. The array formation did not explode in an instant, but the 49 Lightning Storage Arrays were filled up in an instant, and cracks even appeared on a few of the arrays.
Even though Qin Fen saw it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to accept. He thought to himself, what the hell was this Thunder Source on the black mountain? It was even more ferocious than the Nine Changes True Thunder triggered by his breakthrough.
He quickly came to his senses and immediately kept the array flags. The forty-nine Lightning Storing Arrays were shut down, and only then did the surging thunder and lightning from the black mountain stop.
Looking at the 49 Thunder Accumulating Arrays filled with Thunder Sources, Qin Fen's eyes shined with a green light. It was as if he had found a sweet spring in a desert.
Without thinking, he took out the energy tank and began to absorb the Thunder Source's energy. When he went to Coiling Dragon Mountain to search for treasures, Qin Fen had used up all the Thunder Source in the energy tank during his battle with Hong Fei. Afterwards, Hong Fei had been frightened by him and used the Grade 7 Escaping Earth Talisman to escape. Otherwise, Qin Fen would have been killed.
Now that the energy tank was in a completely empty state, the speed at which it absorbed the Thunder Source was extremely fast. In less than an incense stick of time, all the Thunder Source in the 20 Lightning Storing Arrays had been sucked dry, and the energy tank had reached a state of saturation.
This caused Qin Fen to once again be shocked by the might of the Thunder Sea on the black mountain. It had to be known that when he broke through to the Seven Changes Buddha Aura, the Thunder Tribulation he triggered hadn't been able to fill up the energy tank. But thinking about it, Qin Fen understood. Now he was arranging a Grade 5 Lightning Storing Array, and the one he had arranged was only a Grade 4 Lightning Storing Array.
When the energy tank (small) was full, Qin Fen began to worry again. There were still 29 Thunder Source left in the Lightning Storing Arrays. These Thunder Source were violent and ferocious, as if it could break through the Lightning Storing Arrays at any time.
Qin Fen didn't dare to imagine the consequences if the Lightning Storing Arrays were broken. He knew that it would be a great catastrophe for him, and it was hard to say whether he could survive or not. However, he didn't have any other treasures to store Thunder Source, and he didn't have the time to check the Grade 5 Lightning Storing Arrays. Qin Fen hurriedly entered his consciousness into the system, planning to buy an energy tank.
The energy tank that Qin Fen had was the smallest model in the system, but it still cost him 500,000 Hedonist Points. He looked at his remaining 1,429,000 Hedonist Points, gritted his teeth, and spent 1,000,000 Hedonist Points to buy a medium-sized energy tank.
"Ding … Host has spent 1,000,000 Hedonist Points and successfully purchased an energy tank (medium). Host's total Hedonist Points: 429,000!
"Host has spent a total of 7,830,000 Hedonist Points. Host will be promoted to a Rank 9 Hedonist Mortal after spending another 2,170,000 Hedonist Points. Host, please continue to work hard!"
The system notification sounded. Qin Fen was in a good mood as he saw that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a Rank 9 Hedonist Mortal.
A brand new energy tank appeared in his hand. It was the same size as Qin Fen's Energy Tank (Small). However, when he held the Energy Tank (Medium) in his hand, Qin Fen could clearly feel that the hidden energy in it was much more abundant.
The Energy Tank (Medium) had already been thrown out by Qin Feng, and it quickly absorbed all the lightning in the remaining 29 Lightning Storage Arrays. At this time, the energy in the Energy Tank (Medium) had not even reached half its capacity. This directly proved that it had an enormous storage capacity.
After storing all the Thunder Source, Qin Fen's heart finally calmed down. However, when he looked at the Black Mountain again, his heart became heavy.
Forty-nine Grade 5 Lightning Storing Arrays could definitely store an enormous amount of Thunder Source energy. Qin Fen thought that the sea of lightning on the Black Mountain would weaken, but he realized that he was overthinking. The sea of lightning was still as ferocious as ever, as if nothing had changed.
"Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to go up? "Qin Fen complained. This time, he was really at his wit's end.
Little Pig's voice came: "Master! The Spirit Seeking Insect's senses can't be wrong. It is certain that there is a treasure on the mountain top. However, with Master's current cultivation, going up the mountain is equivalent to throwing your life away. I suggest that you wait until the next time the Thirteen Palaces opens. "
Qin Fen frowned. Even Little Pig advised him to give up. This meant that this Black Lightning Mountain was more terrifying than he imagined. However, Qin Fen didn't have the time to wait. He urgently needed an opportunity to break through. The next time the Thirteen Palaces opened was ten years later. Did he have to wait ten years to avenge Ou Yang Jun and the others?
As if feeling the change in Qin Fen's mood, Little Pig finally sighed: "Master! If you really want to go up the mountain, then prepare more Lightning Guiding Arrays and Lightning Storing Arrays. Also, put on your Spirit Armor … If you really are in a life or death situation, then immediately enter the Astral World. "
This was the first time Qin Fen heard Little Pig speak in such a tone. His heart even wavered a little, but the thought of retreating quickly disappeared. If he retreated every time he encountered an opportunity because it was difficult and dangerous, then he could forget about breaking through to the next realm. He could forget about taking revenge and protecting the people around him. He could just sit and wait to be killed by stronger cultivators.
This wasn't what Qin Fen wanted. He knew that he had to become stronger because there were too many people that needed his protection.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Qin Fen had already set up more than two hundred Lightning Storing Arrays and a dozen Lightning Guiding Arrays at the foot of the mountain. He had almost used up all the materials he had collected over the years to set up the arrays. However, he knew that he had to be conservative. Otherwise, he would lose his life and all the cultivation resources would be useless.
In these three days, Qin Fen also discovered some patterns. The lightning on the black mountain became the most intense at sunrise. It even forced Qin Fen to retreat a few hundred meters to set up the arrays. However, when the sun set, the lightning source weakened a little, and Qin Fen could move another hundred meters closer to the black mountain.
However, the weakening of the lightning source was only relative to when it was at sunrise. For Qin Fen, even when the sea of lightning was at its weakest, it was still incomparably powerful. At the very least, it wouldn't be any weaker than the lightning tribulation he triggered when he broke through.
After all the preparations were done, Qin Fen waited for the sun to set. He looked at the setting sun halfway down the mountain and took out his flying sword.
Golden light flashed!
In just a few breaths of time, Qin Fen crossed the several hundred meters. When he entered the mountainside, he felt as if he had broken through a barrier. He immediately understood that there was an array set up on the black mountain. It should be a shielding array that cut off the connection between the black mountain and the outside world.
In an instant, Qin Fen understood many things. No wonder there was only a turbulent sea of lightning above the black mountain and no changes in the weather outside. Also, Qin Fen realized that this shielding array had been around for too long and was about to disappear. Otherwise, he wouldn't have drawn the sea of lightning to the Lightning Storing Array outside.
These thoughts only flashed through his mind. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The moment he entered the shielding array, a black lightning bolt landed on his body, instantly turning several of the spirit armors on his body into powder.
These spirit armors were the spoils of war that Qin Fen had killed and robbed. Their levels weren't too high. He simply didn't have the time to feel distressed over a dozen spirit armors being destroyed in an instant. He felt that if he didn't put up a resistance, he would be smashed to pieces in the next second in this sea of lightning.
Shua!
When three black lightning bolts as thick as a person's waist appeared above his head, Qin Fen immediately threw out several hundred array flags. These array flags were like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden, falling on the Lightning Guiding Array and Lightning Storing Array at the bottom of the mountain. A burst of loud sounds came from outside. Qin Fen looked at the black lightning above his head and let out a sigh of relief. However, he didn't stop at all and immediately urged his flying sword to rush towards the top of the mountain.
The black mountain wasn't high. It seemed to be only a hundred meters or so. However, when Qin Fen really climbed up the mountain, he discovered that this distance of a hundred meters was hundreds of times more difficult than climbing to the top of Mount Everest.
As he flew higher and higher, thunder roared in his ears. The loud sound was about to burst his eardrums. The lightning bolts circling above his head crisscrossed, like dense spider webs.
"So the thunder source is at the top of the mountain. The closer I get to the top, the fiercer the attack of the lightning. I'm only halfway up the mountain and I'm already half dead. How can I reach the top?"
Although Qin Fen had mentally prepared himself the moment he took out his flying sword to climb the mountain, he still couldn't bear it. The sea of lightning on the black mountain was much stronger than he had imagined.
