Having easily dealt with the fighter jets that came to harass him, Li Xingkong didn't take the matter to heart.
With the weapons and equipment of the Cherry Blossom Country, there are very few that can break through Li Xingkong's defenses, so naturally they are not worth Li Xingkong's concern. His main thought now is how to plug the volcano.
That's right, Li Xingkong's idea was very simple: if a volcano is erupting, just plug the opening and see how it erupts.
The idea is good, but the problem is that Mount Fuji is no ordinary small mountain; it is quite large, and the diameter of its crater is also considerable. Finding something to block it is not an easy task.
With the idea of blocking it in mind, the first thing Li Xingkong noticed was the surrounding hills. Putting everything else aside, cutting off a hilltop to block Mount Fuji should be feasible.
After considering his options, Li Xingkong immediately made his move, sending his flying sword hurtling towards a small hill next to Mount Fuji.
Out of caution, Li Xingkong did not cut the entire mountain in half directly, but instead made a flat cut on its summit first. After all, where there is a volcano, there is likely a cluster of volcanoes nearby, and he didn't want to end up robbing Peter to pay Paul because of his actions.
Then it's no different from him not coming at all.
As expected, Li Xingkong's caution had some effect; after this sword strike, the once barren hilltop now began to emit black smoke.
It is also a volcano.
He was unfamiliar with the terrain of Cherry Blossom Country, and for a moment, Li Xingkong didn't know which surrounding mountains he could attack.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong was not alone; he had Old Tang supporting him remotely.
" Earthly Capital, please respond."
Li Xingkong quickly contacted Earthly Capital to seek intelligence assistance.
" Xingkong, it's me, Old Tang. Is there anything we can help you with?"
On the Earthly Capital, although thick smoke filled the sky and satellites were rendered useless, fortunately, Divine Land also had personnel in Cherry Blossom Country, and the situation on the ground was transmitted back to Divine Land through various photographic equipment.
Are there any mountains around here that aren't volcanoes? Could you point me to some?
Li Xingkong didn't waste any words and went straight to stating his requirements.
A few seconds later, Old Tang had already obtained the information that Li Xingkong needed.
"Not far north of Mount Fuji, there's a large mountain range called Mount Yatsugatake. That whole area isn't volcanic. I'll send you the address."
Having received the address from Old Tang, Li Xingkong drew his sword and set off, flying north.
Within the area shrouded in the thick smoke of Mount Fuji, there was still some people. Although many immigrants from Cherry Blossom Country had fled, relatively few people had left the area. After all, in such a remote and impoverished place, how many well-informed individuals could there be?
Most of them are still debating whether to abandon their belongings and evacuate, since everyone says that an eruption of Mount Fuji would be terrible, but no one has ever seen anything like it before.
When they saw Li Xingkong arrive, it was as if a god had descended to earth. Many people even chose to immediately start worshipping on the spot, thinking that eight million gods had intervened. They were incredibly devout.
However, after seeing Li Xingkong heading north, these people immediately panicked.
There was nothing we could do. We thought that once the gods arrived, the volcano problem would be solved, but now that the gods have all left, the volcano is still the same. How could we not panic?
Even the most fearless person fears dying in a meaningless way.
Now things are really messed up. People who weren't planning to run started running too, and the traffic on the ground became chaotic.
However, Li Xingkong couldn't care less about any of that. He had already arrived at Mount Yatsugatake, guided by the location coordinates.
The environment here is indeed very beautiful, and the entire mountain range is often used as a hiking destination.
But the situation is urgent, and Li Xingkong has no other choice.
Mount Yatsugatake is a large mountain range with many peaks. Li Xingkong immediately spotted the tallest one, Mount Amida.
As the main peak of Mount Yatsugatake, it has an altitude of nearly 2,700 meters. Its size and shape are more than enough to block Mount Fuji.
The only question is, can Li Xingkong really cut it off?
Li Xingkong himself wasn't sure about this, since since he broke through his seclusion this time, no one had been able to give him a real fight, and because the commotion he caused each time he practiced magic was too great, he had to avoid making a move.
However, it's not entirely true that there's no certainty at all. According to the system, the growth rate of cultivation strength is inherently faster and faster. The increase in strength brought about by a small breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Stage is much higher than that of the entire Qi Refining Stage stage.
He's already at the Mid Foundation Establishment, so theoretically, he should have no problem getting into a fight.
Li Xingkong's Divine Sense Hexagram told him that this was not impossible.
Having come this far, there was no other choice but to back down. Li Xingkong activated his magic Magic Power, activated all the Hexagram, and for the first time used the Sword Control Technique to unleash his full power as Mid Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The entire blade was now covered with countless layers of Mana Circuit. Magic Power originally small Lightning Chaser was now encased in layers of Magic Power shells, and was about ten meters long.
Of course, this length is still insignificant compared to the entire Mount Amida.
However, the Sword Control Technique does not rely on the sword itself for killing, but on extremely fast speed and super strong sword wind.
After charging for a few seconds, the Mana Circuit on Lightning Chaser's body shone brightly with silver light, and for a moment, it seemed as if another sun had appeared in the sky.
"Go!"
Li Xingkong raised his hand and pointed to the mountainside of Mount Amida.
Following Li Xingkong's will, the Chasing Lightning Sword slashed horizontally across the entire mountain range with a clang.
As the sword's speed increased, a crescent-shaped sword light on its blade also grew larger in the wind. Just as the Lightning Chaser was about to strike Mount Amida, the entire sword light had grown to a width wider than the mountainside.
There was no huge roar as I had imagined, nor any earth-shattering explosion.
There was only a muffled thud, and a ring of blue smoke billowed out from where the Mount Amida light had passed. Then the entire mountain fell silent, as if the sword light had been an illusion.
The speed of the Lightning Chaser was very fast; in the blink of an eye, the sword appeared on the other side of the mountain.
The number of circuits on the entire sword has been reduced by more than half, making it appear much smaller than when it was first used.
Li Xingkong probed with his Divine Sense and found that, just as he had imagined, the entire Mount Amida had been cleaved in two from the mountainside by him. However, because the speed of his Lightning Chaser was too fast, the broken mountain range made very little noise.
Great, the first step is done. The next step is to figure out how to bring this chopped-down mountain back.
