Chapter 1005: Liquid Energy[Bonus Chapter] (1/2)

After checking the body of Vidyut, Sam got out of the room and immediately went out to take a look at the mountain. Leaving the path alone, he went to take a look at the rest of the mountain. But before he did that, he sent the Bat puppets which he used in taking down the maze formation all over the mountain, to find energy spots that might act as formations.

Generally, formations are made on a flat area whether it is horizontal or vertical.

Even if it is in uneven large land, the nodes would always be on the same plane when they are joined.

This is the most basic and easiest way to creating formations and they don't have to worry about the energy instability due to the irregularity of the terrain and it will also free the formation creator to be free from extra worries and calculations.

These kinds of people will rely on inscribing the formations if there is any particular flaw with the terrain which they cannot rule away.

But there is another way of creating a formation even if there is no planar coincidence between the nodes and even when all the nodes are not exactly present on the same level.

Sam had done some of those formations when killing the Nascent stage General Spark a long time ago and there are a bunch of formations like that within Sam's city and many other places in the desolate.

But Sam never had any necessity to use that in a larger and more complicated scale like this.

The person who imprisoned Vidyut actually used a similar technique and none of the nodes are in the same plane.

If all the nodes are joined by a straight line, then they would surely create a three-dimensional figure.

While constructing them is already difficult enough, deconstructing them is way more difficult and in fact downright irritating, and sometimes, it almost makes the people wonder if they are as intelligent as they believed they are.

Currently, the whole mountain is used a single entity and there are many nodes created in different places. When the bats managed to find out where the nodes are present on the mountain, Sam immediately became sure that they are not all. And since the number was quite limited, which could only mean one thing, the rest of the nodes are within the mountain.

But before he explored more, he decided to check the nodes outside and see what he used as nodes.

In normal cases, he wouldn't have wondered about something like this, but now, he should be otherwise, the thing that is making Vidyut stay, the one thing in his chest is made of some different method that Sam never saw and it is something among the lines of research he is currently doing.

If the nodes are also made of the same thing, then he would be able to find some broader spectrum of materials to reverse engineer and grasp the method that he wants to make what he wants.

He went to the nearest node and used the observation ability on it.

With that, he sent his consciousness into the second floor of the divine dimension and created a model of the node there.

He did the same with the rest of the nodes and finally, after dealing with that, he started thinking about the nodes that are buried within the mountain.

As much as his cultivation improved, it is still not big enough to cover the whole mountain with observation ability.

The best he could do would be around one-twentieth of the mountain. Which means he would have to do the same thing twenty times. And even then, he has to be careful and find a way to use the observation ability on the inner side of the mountain.

First, he went on using the observation ability on the outer parts, and finally, there are two inner parts left.

He couldn't directly dig through because if one mistake led to instability even at one node, the whole formation might create a collapse that would explode the whole mountain.

He went back into the mansion and asked Vidyut.

”Before you were imprisoned here, what was this mountain exactly?”

”It is the property of one of the families. It is just some training ground for low-level cultivators who just awakened.

They will bring a bunch of initiation stage beasts and let the kids practice fighting here.”

”Is that so, then where did all this energy come from?”

”I don't really know.”
