Seeing the two argue without end, Huang Tianjie asked the Liu father and son, "Fellow Daoists Liu, which route do you think would be better?"
Liu Changxu said, "I agree with Sister Xue. Thunder Gathering Mountain is dangerous, with the risk of lightning strikes, and the Thunderlight Leopards are quite powerful. But compared to Demon Beasts like Snow Vultures and Azure Wind Wolves, which prefer living in groups, the solitary Thunderlight Leopards are easier to deal with."
Liu Shihao also said, "I agree with Fellow Daoist Xue. I think Azure Wind Wolves are harder to deal with than Snow Vultures."
Hearing the Liu father and son say this, Chen Shuo stopped insisting on his own view. After thinking it over carefully, he realized that he had not considered the matter thoroughly enough.
He said, "Since you agree as well, Fellow Daoists Liu, let's take the route through Thunder Gathering Mountain!"
Seeing that Chen Shuo had changed his mind, Huang Tianjie said, "All right, then. Tomorrow, we'll go through Thunder Gathering Mountain!"
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, the five ate a simple breakfast, then boarded the Flying Boat and headed toward Thunder Gathering Mountain.
Under his father Liu Shihao's guidance, the Flying Boat soon carried them to the foot of Thunder Gathering Mountain, a towering range wreathed in clouds and mist.
Pointing at Thunder Gathering Mountain, Liu Shihao said, "Thunder Gathering Mountain produces a precious artifact-refining material called thunder-magnetic iron. This spiritual material causes constant lightning strikes on the mountain, making it a paradise for Lightning Attribute Demon Beasts. The more frequent the lightning strikes, the more likely high-tier thunder-magnetic iron is to appear. Of course, high-tier Lightning Attribute Demon Beasts are also likely to be found near such deposits. That is why so many cultivators come here
