Chapter 155: The Unlimited Formation

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

On the square, explosions resounded without end.

Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng fought only with the palm techniques they had just comprehended, and for a time, they were locked in an inseparable battle.

Under the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing, Li Fan carefully savored their palm techniques.

Combined with the Dao Concept he had observed before, he suddenly felt enlightened.

So, it could be interpreted like this!

Although Li Fan had only average aptitude, he couldn't directly comprehend Divine Abilities from the Dao Concept.

However, for Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng, who were both at the early Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Fan could still understand the palm techniques they used.

If he couldn't solve the problem, couldn't he at least copy the solution?

First, he would draw inspiration from their comprehension and master the palm technique Divine Ability. Then, he would gradually incorporate his own insights, eventually forming a palm technique that was entirely his own.

During the observation, Li Fan also discovered the differences in their palm techniques.

Although both originated from observing that wisp of Dao Concept.

Xiao Heng's palm technique Concept was ethereal and transcendent, as unfathomable as the Great Dao.

Su Xiaomei's palm technique, however, contained a hint of unparalleled domineering intent.

It seemed that with one strike, all things in heaven and earth would have to submit.

It was impossible to say who was superior.

One could only say that the Overturning Sea Palm back then was too astonishing, with multiple facets.

Their palm techniques were both their own comprehensions and the inherent Concepts contained within the Overturning Sea Palm itself.

…

Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei's battle lasted for an entire day.

It only ended when Li Fan called a halt to it.

"Not bad, it seems you two have gained a lot. However, remember not to become complacent."

"You are still far from fully comprehending this wisp of Dao Concept."

"Next, you should cultivate, comprehend, and spar with each other simultaneously."

Li Fan instructed, and Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei nodded in agreement.

With the help of the two Prodigies, Li Fan's comprehension of the Overturning Sea Palm grew day by day.

It was a pity, however, that as time passed, Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei's respective palm techniques had already approached Major Achievement.

Yet, Li Fan always felt that he was missing something.

The palm technique he used was still merely within the scope of a Move.

It was far from reaching the level of a Divine Ability.

But Li Fan was not anxious.

He patiently optimized and improved this palm technique.

Two months later.

Underground cultivation chamber.

As silver fine lines lit up on the small black box.

The Seal Formation on it was finally broken.

The items inside immediately appeared in the Clone's vision.

One of them was somewhat familiar to Li Fan.

It was precisely the encrypted Jade Slip with gold inlays on all four corners.

However, the content of this Jade Slip was certainly not He Zhenghao's posthumous work, the "Mountain and River Vein Array Diagram."

His Divine Sense entered it, reading the content.

After a short while, Li Fan felt dizzy, and his Divine Thought retreated from the Jade Slip.

He pressed his temples, easing the stinging sensation in his Divine Sense.

Yet, an excited expression appeared in Li Fan's eyes.

The content recorded in this Jade Slip was precisely the lifetime learning of Zhang Zhiliang, the number one Formation Master of Congyun Sea.

The "Infinite Law."

The Formation insights of both He Zhenghao and Zhang Zhiliang had now fallen into Li Fan's hands.

It seemed that for a long time to come, the Clone would not be idle.

With diligent study, Li Fan's path in Formations was surely bright.

Li Fan was very much looking forward to He Zhenghao's reaction when he would be Sitting and Discussing Dao with him in the next life.

Calming his mind, Li Fan then examined the other items.

A small white pouch, filled with silver spices.

These were the spices Li Fan had frequently used to relieve mental fatigue when Zhang Zhiliang was diligently studying.

A small black sphere.

A spirit awareness orb used to test Formation levels.

A golden foil paper. An ordinary Jade Slip.

Li Fan first read the Jade Slip.

This, of course, contained Zhang Zhiliang's last words.

Zhang Zhiliang did not mention the conspiracy of the Soul Transformation Cultivators on Wanxian Island regarding Chiyan.

He merely introduced his "Infinite Law" to Li Fan, as well as the purpose of that golden foil paper.

Zhang Zhiliang's "Infinite Law" was the culmination of his life's efforts.

The scene where hundreds of thousands of Array Crowns were simultaneously unleashed, with a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator influencing the struggle for the Dao between Soul Transformation Cultivators, left a deep impression on Li Fan.

However, according to Zhang Zhiliang's last words, the "Infinite Law" he was currently cultivating was still far from reaching Major Achievement.

Zhang Zhiliang had once said during his lectures that a Formation was a standardized Law.

And standardization, while it could make the application of Laws simple and swift, also inevitably brought a fatal flaw.

All Formations in the world could be broken.

Once a Formation was laid out, its standardization was fixed.

Those proficient in Formations could discern its weaknesses and, given enough time, break it.

What "Seven-Colored Fallen Immortal Formation," "Myriad Heavens Star Dou Formation"—though touted as infinitely powerful—

if a Great Master of Formations truly wanted to break them, it was merely a matter of time.

What Zhang Zhiliang sought was a Formation that could not be broken.

He believed that Formations could be broken because, once laid out, they no longer changed.

Without change, no matter how complex or vast, they would eventually be broken one day.

But if a Formation could continuously evolve on its own, constantly growing every moment.

And if its speed of growth and change could surpass the breaking speed of the strongest Formation Great Master in this world.

Then, this Formation would be a Formation that could never be broken.

This was Zhang Zhiliang's lifelong wish.

The "Infinite Law."

It was a pity that although Zhang Zhiliang's Formation level was superb.

He was still far from creating a truly "Infinite Law."

The most crucial thing was the lack of a core.

A central core that could provide computational power support for the Formation's infinite evolution.

Zhang Zhiliang had tried using various things as this core.

Heaven and Earth Wonders, Cultivator consciousness, ancient Magic Treasures…

But all of them failed without exception.

The "Infinite Law" had terrifying computational power requirements for its core, even exceeding Zhang Zhiliang's cognitive limit.

In addition to computational power requirements, this core also had to possess its own sentience.

The evolution of the "Infinite" had countless directions.

If it were purely exhaustive, the evolution speed would be greatly reduced.

But if the core had its own sentience, constantly coordinating computational power, constantly adjusting the optimal evolution direction.

It would even make corresponding optimizations based on a Formation Great Master's attempts to break it.

Only then could the "Infinite Law" be considered a truly "Infinite Law."

Of course, Zhang Zhiliang had no expectations whatsoever that Li Fan could realize the "Infinite Law."

What he hoped for was merely that Li Fan could inherit his current legacy.

And then pass it down from generation to generation.

Hoping that one day, a true Formation Dao Genius would appear to fulfill the grand aspiration of the "Infinite Law."

As for the golden foil paper, it was used to motivate Li Fan's study of Formations.

Its name was "Legacy Exchange."

Essentially, it was an inheritance of many, many contribution points.

It could only be claimed after a Cultivator's death, upon meeting certain conditions.

And the "Legacy Exchange" left by Zhang Zhiliang contained a total of four hundred thousand contribution points.

It was Zhang Zhiliang's lifelong accumulation.

It could be claimed ten times.

Each claim condition was to pass a Formation knowledge test using the spirit awareness orb.

A total of ten stages of tests.

If one truly inherited Zhang Zhiliang's "Infinite Law," then one could collect all four hundred thousand contribution points.

But if one couldn't even pass the first stage, then one could only gaze at the treasure mountain without being able to take a single bit.
