Chapter 1279: Multiple Formations

"Do as you please, no need to thank me…" Valley Master Luo Tian waved his hand, then instructed Zhangsun Ning to stay and accompany Xiao Fan…

Although he said accompany, it was actually more like supervision…

With him presiding over Ghost World Valley, no accidents would occur…

He was worried that this fellow Xiao Fan might accidentally destroy these blue light pillars.

After all, there were too many strange things about this kid…

Zhangsun Ning naturally understood Valley Master Luo Tian's intentions and stayed behind.

Xiao Fan was also aware of it, but he didn't mind.

He simply wanted to stay here to observe the blue light pillar Formations properly and learn from them…

Valley Master Luo Tian left, leaving only Xiao Fan and Zhangsun Ning inside the underground palace…

"Are all these Origin Clones cultivating?" Xiao Fan asked, looking at Zhangsun Ning.

She had been in Ghost World Valley since childhood and had only left for her last mission; she was surely very familiar with the Secret Technique of the Origin Clone.

"That's right." Zhangsun Ning nodded and said, "Once the Origin Power and Primordial Spirit power are condensed within the light pillars, they will Cultivate on their own… Although the speed is a bit slower than the original body's cultivation, it's not by much…"

"I see…" Xiao Fan nodded. He pondered for a moment, and at the same time, the Enlightenment Seed within his body began to work.

The Enlightenment Seed emitted a faint green light that flowed throughout Xiao Fan's entire body…

Filling Xiao Fan's mind with the power of enlightenment.

"Ning'er… what's the longest these Clones have been cultivating?" Xiao Fan asked.

"That… I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to be about forty years or so…" Zhangsun Ning said after thinking for a moment.

"Ten-odd years…" Xiao Fan murmured.

"Is something wrong?" Zhangsun Ning asked.

"No… I just thought of a problem!"

"What problem?" Zhangsun Ning asked curiously.

Xiao Fan had only been standing here for a moment; what problem could he have thought of?

But even though she thought that, she didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Fan in her heart.

The two had met within the Wuhuang Province Secret Realm.

Back then, Xiao Fan was already able to decipher the mysterious ancient script in the Giant's Underground Palace…

After she returned, she had also reported this matter to Valley Master Luo Tian.

"Tell me… if these Origin Clones exist for a long time, will they develop their own will?"

"What do you mean?!" Zhangsun Ning asked curiously.

"I mean… these Clones are composed of Origin and Primordial Spirit. In a way, you could say these Clones are a part of the main body. If enough time passes… will these cultivating Clones develop their own will? For example, becoming unwilling to be refined in the end!"

"This… it hasn't happened yet, so I don't know…" Zhangsun Ning said.

Xiao Fan nodded; it was normal for Zhangsun Ning not to know these things.

He was also just guessing…

He felt that this Secret Technique of the Origin Clone was very formidable.

But such a powerful Secret Technique would certainly have its drawbacks and loopholes.

Just as Xiao Fan had just mentioned…

What if the separated Primordial Spirit and Origin developed thoughts of devouring their master after Fusion?!

These were all unpredictable matters…

Yet, they were very likely to happen.

Xiao Fan stopped talking to Zhangsun Ning. He silently walked up to a blue light pillar and reached out to touch it gently…

Feeling the Primordial Spirit and Origin Power within…

The Enlightenment Seed inside Xiao Fan's body was constantly helping him analyze… helping Xiao Fan understand the principles of the Origin Clone.

As Xiao Fan's hand touched the blue light pillar.

The Primordial Spirit phantom inside stirred slightly…

Although it was very faint, it indeed moved.

"As I thought…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself and then withdrew his palm.

His guess just now was correct.

The Primordial Spirit and Origin within these blue light pillars had indeed developed a bit of will.

But the growth of these independent wills requires time…

This time might be three years, ten years, or perhaps a hundred years…

Initially, these Origin Clones would Cultivate silently according to the host's requirements… waiting for Fusion!

But as their intelligence gradually awakens!

These Clones might then develop independent thoughts…

Of course, these were all just guesses!

Perhaps the Clones wouldn't… it was hard to say.

"No… even if they wanted to devour their master, they probably wouldn't have the strength…"

Xiao Fan murmured, having understood something else.

He examined the Magic Arrays beneath these blue light pillars.

He found that these Magic Arrays were exceptionally different…

The various strange runes did not belong to the scripts of the Nine Provinces at all…

Xiao Fan questioned Wanxiang… to see if this little fellow knew anything!

Wanxiang briefly analyzed the Formation's information and told Xiao Fan in his mind.

"Isolation Magic Array… Spirit Gathering Magic Array… and Binding Magic Array…"
