In the valley,
He Song quickly set up a Divine Thunder Array.
Only then did he alter his appearance, physique, and the aura of his cultivation.
He also concealed his cultivation, revealing only the aura of the early stages of the Golden Elixir.
He Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and used the Earth Tunneling Skill to head towards the arrays he had previously set up.
For He Song,
leaving a backup route hundreds of miles away from his destination was already standard practice.
If any danger arose during this trip,
having such a pre-established Golden Elixir Array would provide He Song with an escape route, ensuring that he wasn't wholly unprepared.
Furthermore, He Song's alteration of his appearance, physique, and the aura of his cultivation,
and finally, hiding his genuine cultivation level behind that of early-stage Golden Elixir.
All these
were merely measures to ensure he had multiple fallback options.
