Chapter 314 The Secret of the Soul Locking Array

Unlike typical tests.

Because the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array's Array Pivots are extremely precious, it's impossible to mobilize thousands of them to Tian Yu State for a single test.

Therefore, this practical Formation assessment will not be conducted simultaneously by all Formation Dao students; instead, they will be divided into groups of fifty for sequential testing.

The order of participation in the assessment is determined by everyone's usual comprehensive test scores.

Li Fan was in the upper-middle position, so he wouldn't have to wait too long.

The Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array is vast in scale, and even the greatest Genius would take several years to construct it completely.

After all, it's just a test to gauge everyone's Formation-laying skills, and it's impossible to truly waste so much time.

So the specific rule is to construct the central core structure of the Formation as much as possible within a seven-day limit.

The final ranking will be determined by the actual Formation construction.

Li Fan was in the sixth group, which meant, conservatively, it would be over forty days until his turn.

During the assessment period, going out was also strictly prohibited.

Only students who had completed the assessment were allowed to leave Haunyu Manor and relax in Tianyu City.

However, with previous lessons learned, they were not allowed to leave Tianyu City either.

While waiting, Li Fan began to study the small black box Zhang Zhiliang had given him.

Previously, Li Fan had also tried to decipher it.

However, at that time, Zhang Zhiliang was not dead, and the small black box seemed to be covered by an unknown Restriction in addition to the Seal Formation. Li Fan tried a few times, didn't succeed, and temporarily gave up.

Now that Zhang Zhiliang had fallen, Li Fan sensed that the Restriction had also spontaneously disappeared.

This indicated it was time to open Zhang Zhiliang's Legacy.

Without much effort, as a thin silver line lit up on the small black box, the Seal Formation was broken by Li Fan.

The contents inside were revealed, not much different from his twelfth life.

An encrypted Jade Slip containing the Infinite Law, Mind Monkey incense, a spirit awareness orb, Legacy, and an ordinary Jade Slip recording Zhang Zhiliang's last words.

Li Fan first read Zhang Zhiliang's last words.

A moment later, with a look of emotion, he put down the Jade Slip.

In his last words, Zhang Zhiliang briefly explained that several years ago, by chance, he learned that Chiyan was about to descend upon Congyun Sea.

To ascend to the Dao Unification Realm, he embarked on a desperate plan.

If Li Fan could see the last words in the Jade Slip, it meant that his Dao Unification had failed, and he had perished.

Zhang Zhiliang's tone was full of regret, but he also stated that he had no regrets.

In the great battle of Tianling State, Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association slaughtered each other, falling like ants one after another.

Zhang Zhiliang even witnessed several Cultivators, with whom he was usually on good terms, die tragically before his eyes.

The entire sky was filled with the strange phenomena of falling Cultivators.

Often, the strange phenomenon of the latter falling Cultivator would cover the one who had just died before it could be clearly seen.

In the war, Zhang Zhiliang's pride as a Nascent Soul Formation Master was utterly crushed.

Let alone Nascent Soul, even Soul Transformation Cultivators could only drift with the current and leave their lives to fate in this great battle.

“Below Dao Unification, all are ants.”

While Zhang Zhiliang awakened, an immeasurable ambition to achieve Dao Unification also inevitably arose in his heart.

He miraculously survived and returned to Congyun Sea, having an Epiphany after a narrow escape, and advanced to the Soul Transformation Realm.

And now, with this heaven-sent Opportunity appearing, how could he possibly give up?

If he failed, he would die; he had already prepared for it.

Fearing that his life's work, the [Infinite Law], would disappear, he left behind his Legacy in advance… Because most of his savings were used to create the Array Crown, the contribution points remaining in this life's Legacy were even less than before, only over two hundred thousand points.

For the current Li Fan, it was merely better than nothing.

What Li Fan valued more was how Zhang Zhiliang's Infinite Law in the Soul Transformation Realm differed from when he was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lighting the Mind Monkey incense, Li Fan picked up the encrypted Jade Slip with golden inlays on all four corners and read it carefully.

After reaching the Golden Core Realm, his Divine Sense strength surged.

This time, there was no dizziness, and Li Fan quickly scanned the contents of the Jade Slip.

Li Fan was already intimately familiar with the original content of the Infinite Law.

Comparing it with this new version, he quickly noticed the differences, or rather, the improvements.

The core concept of the Infinite Law is that a Formation can continuously evolve itself, constantly growing at every moment.

The most crucial aspect was the lack of a central core that could provide computational support for the Formation's infinite evolution.

In his twelfth life, due to the limitations of his Nascent Soul Realm perspective, Zhang Zhiliang did not explicitly state the possible reference objects for this core.

However, this time, Zhang Zhiliang directly stated that the most suitable central core for the Infinite Law was the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's supreme treasure, the tianxuan mirror.

When countless Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance used the tianxuan mirror simultaneously, it would not experience any lag.

Not to mention that the tianxuan mirror also had to simultaneously manage commodity prices, control information flow, and other matters.

This showed how unimaginably terrifying its data processing capabilities had reached.

And the tianxuan mirror also possessed its own spiritual intelligence, which perfectly aligned with the Infinite Law.

Previously, because of its unique position in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Zhang Zhiliang had never thought in this direction.

However, after the great battle of Tianling State, the sudden appearance of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array gave him inspiration.

“The Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array is a great attempt to combine the tianxuan mirror's own abilities with Formation.”

“They all believe this attempt has a groundbreaking significance, but in my opinion, it is still somewhat conservative.”

“However, the tianxuan mirror is too important; if anything goes wrong, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will inevitably fall into severe turmoil. Caution is only natural.”

“Even so, with the new tianxuan mirror as the Array Pivot, the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array has undergone a qualitative change compared to other Formations in the world.”

“You are undergoing closed training in Tian Yu State; perhaps you already know how to construct it.”

“But the true power of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array, you may not necessarily understand.”

“When the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array first appeared in Nine Mountains State, I personally went to experience it.”

“When I saw those light beams piercing through heaven and earth light up, when a sense of being monitored and threatened faintly appeared all over my body, when the tianxuan mirror's fluctuations swept over me.”

“A shiver from the depths of my Soul arose spontaneously.”

“Ji Hongdao and the others are true Geniuses; they created a true monster.”

“Think about it, what will happen when one Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array after another is completed, covering all the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?”

“Tianxuan Locking Spirit, nothing can escape. Every event that occurs in the world, every slightest disturbance, will fall precisely into the tianxuan mirror's sight.”

“No Cultivator in the world will have any secrets before the Tianxuan Mirror.”

…Li Fan read to this point and couldn't help but be startled.
