For the next month, Sam is on the constant move, he cleared almost one-third of the island. Then only he realized that it is almost impossible to clear the whole island in three months. Because it is hard to find the formations on the island. It is just that Sam was initially lucky enough to enter a place with many untouched formations.

But most of the formations which are easier to find are almost emptied by previous visits and due to Sam's extra advantage in numbers which made it easier for him to explore more area in the same time and resulted in him find a few unexplored parts.

The whole time, he acted near the borders of the island and a little deeper, he didn't go too much inside to explore this place.

He wanted to deal with the place step by step.

As for his friends, he didn't see them all this while, they must have been far inside.

He cleared the shore and some of the land of the island and got every single of the formations in this specific area. But even then, he didn't find a single formation that is related to the island movement, at least he couldn't identify one.

But this one month did help him a bit. His research for the inscription array has increased and every time he took a break, he started researching and experimenting over this array arrangement to see if he could crack it faster. He did get some breakthrough.

After a myriad of experiments, he found a small chink in that tight seal, he was able to identify another small break in the runes which could get him to deactivate the formations faster.

This happens in a different way than before. Sam is good at cracking a formation itself if it is a standard formation without any variations.

So, what Sam found out is that after he deactivated a single rune, he has a way to modify the remaining inscription array by disturbing the runes which will halt the cycle of the formations for a time period and make them stationary in a single state.

This is no different than two to three standard formations layered together and Sam is confident enough to deal with that. That small modification he would be doing with the inscription is just interrupting the energy flow and forcing it to stop the cycle of variations for twenty minutes or so.

This is all he needed. The variations will go for every three minutes and there would only be a small break of a few seconds for every one hour, which he used previously.

And it took almost four hours for his deal with them. But with this, he can deal with the formation in an hour by the latest.

That is if it works.

He walked towards the nearest formation which is supposedly the last one in this one-third of the island according to his search and exploration from the past month.

He started his plan. He waited until the second gap appeared and destroyed the rune. Then started dealing with the forced modification of the array and just like he thought the cycle halted and the formations one, two, and three are activated and stayed like that.

Sam placed his hands on the formations and started manipulating the energy and in the next twenty minutes, the three formations are down, because these three are familiar to him.

But this time, the mental strength he required is a lot more than normal. The more formations Sam cracked, the more he wanted to meet the person who created these formations, they are the epitome of formations.

If Sam was pitted against the guy who made them, he is sure that he would lose pretty badly. His experience and expertise are far from the formation master, even if they are competing in the basics and a small concealment formation, that guy would beat Sam's ass like it was nothing.

This is the first time Sam is burning with envy in this life. This expertise is something he desired, if he could have this much expertise in a field and reach the pinnacle of a craft, he will feel really accomplished. In front of it, all the riches and status seemed a lot less significant.

As he was feeling salty and moving towards the next region, the remaining friends are trying their best to deal with the formations in the last one-third of the island, the left the middle region and started in the one that is opposite to the one Sam is dealing with.

They wanted to meet in the middle. But once they dealt with one formation individually, they understood it is going to be hard.

The formations are at the peak of their current level. If they want to destroy it without damaging the contents inside, a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator should make a move.

Otherwise, there is no way for them to deal with it instantly. So, they decided to team up. They actually noticed something Sam couldn't, if the formation is left like that after it was damaged halfway, then it is self-restoring.

On one night, they left a formation half-destroyed, and by the next morning, it is back to its original condition.

So, they have to destroy the formation in a single streak. No breaks.

But along with this, they also noticed something strange because, they are staying in the same area a lot longer than Sam did, when they cleared an area off of the meteorite sand, they noticed that the formations even after being empty are still forming back again and in the area where they cleared out they noticed that the formations themselves, seems to have a connection.

But they couldn't decipher it.

As for the person who has the highest probability of deciphering, he didn't stay in the same place for a long time to observe this situation and he didn't care much about the recovering phenomenon, at least not yet.

At this moment, Sam is getting busy in the central region, the second one-third of the island and he is moving faster than usual.

That is not because, he is cracking them faster or they became easier, rather there are more formations than the first area.

Sam and his friends are dealing with them as fast as they could. And two months have passed since they came to this island. In these two months, the three friends, even had breakthroughs into Level-2 As for Sam, he has not improved in his cultivation, because it is stagnated due to the rapid growth.

But he is not worried, he almost forced the breakthrough by absorbing so much, so he figured that he would have a slower growth for the time being.

After two months, almost everything is done except for the extremely central zone of the island. Sam and his group had some serious haul. Except that almost seventy-five percent of the accumulation was done by Sam.

Now, the four of them are at the extreme core region of the island.

By this time, the trio already informed Sam about the weird connection they felt with the formations and Sam also tried to relate to it, but they didn't dwell on the matter and continued their exploration.

The reason for them to come here last is because it is a valley.

There is a large valley in the center and they couldn't see the end of the valley, so they didn't explore it immediately. They decided to leave it for the last.

But this answered some of Sam's questions. He has his doubts about how so many formations and meteorite sands are left alone, after all, the number of people the Underground organizations can mobilize is not exactly small.

But with this valley Sam received some speculations, it might be because most of them are obsessed with taking the whole island away. The message they received at the beginning of their exploration did indicate that.

So, they might have just focused on that went on to explore the valley instead of getting the meteorite sands in their hands and there might be some conflicts within the organizations as four of them are inherently different entities, so they lost precious time due to the lack of competition.

But he didn't think much anymore, it is a little fishy but not fishy enough to make him lose his focus on the valley.

Four of them boarded Sky and Yanwu to go inside the valley.

As they slowly descended down, it became darker and darker and they finally landed without any mishaps.

They started looking around in different directions and Sam even left the beasts to roam around to see if they can find any clues.

After a few minutes, Watt's yelling could be heard from one of the corners of the valley.

Sam who is nearest to them, went there and was surprised to see there is a cave.

Inside the cave, there is a large circular stone table that has a crystal surface on it. This resembled the table on the third floor of the divine dimension a lot.
