Bitter Cultivation for Fourteen Years

Shen Mo had also considered making the Mountain and River Secret Realm his place of attaining the Dao, using the Soaring Serpent Strange Dragon to fend off Lin Zhaozai.

But after consulting A'Yao of Great Miluo, he abandoned that notion!

All beings at the Heavenly Monarch level had forged a "Dao" of their own;

Whether their Dao Path stood high or low, once they had attained the Dao, they were no longer easily affected by external factors and could resist the power of alienation to a certain extent.

The life radiation of the Soaring Serpent Strange Dragon, the fusion of the Qionghua Immortal Sect's Longevity Flesh evil spirits, the assimilating power of heaven and earth suffered when the Forbidden Land descended upon a new world—these were all foreign powers of a similar nature... To Divine Bridge Realm cultivators and fifth-rank beings, they were not unsolvable threats that meant certain death upon contact!

If Shen Mo insisted on attempting the Divine Bridge Realm within the Mountain and River Realm, his chances of blocking Lin Zhaozai would be minuscule;

Instead, he might awaken the Soaring Serpent Strange Dragon. When that happened, whether it was Lin Zhaozai, Shen Mo himself, or Flower Fairy and Great Miluo who had come to protect his Dao, all would face a fatal calamity!

After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Mo ultimately chose the River-Facing Sect's mountain gate as the place to attain the Dao, and set up the formation to counter external tribulations on Chong'a Mountain.

First, the higher-grade mountain-protecting formation would allow the River-Facing Sect to withstand stronger calamities, whether natural disasters or man-made misfortunes;

Second, when he attained the Dao, he could draw upon the strength of the entire sect, with enough Spirit Stones and disciples to sustain the formation through spiritual power!
