Chapter 315 Heavenly Xuanji Biology

As Zhang Zhiliang said, after studying for a long time at Haunyu Manor, Li Fan had a pretty good understanding of how to construct the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation.

However, Li Fan wasn't entirely clear about the actual power of the constructed Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, lacking a clear, quantified understanding.

It was like a worker on a weapon production line who might not be fully aware of the destructive power of the objects he manufactures.

Li Fan initially thought that the primary purpose of constructing the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation was to mark the Five Old Men Association Cultivators who had infiltrated the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance territory.

But after Zhang Zhiliang's reminder, Li Fan realized that its true purpose might be far more extensive.

The Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation was indeed highly effective at distinguishing between friendly and enemy Cultivators.

However, if that were its only purpose, it would be a bit of an overkill.

It should be noted that, according to the current construction plan, every state within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will have a Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation built.

The quantity of Materials required is incalculable.

Even if the number of Five Old Men Association spies doubled, the cumulative losses they caused might not be as valuable as these Materials.

Not to mention the remote areas of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, where infiltration is almost meaningless.

Yet, without exception, Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formations are to be built in all of them, for saturation-style prevention.

…

Sweeping for and preventing spies is one aspect; more importantly, it's about achieving a high degree of control over one's own territory.

Under the coverage of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, it can ensure that once a Five Old Men Association Cultivator enters, he will be marked.

This actually means that everything within the Formation is under constant surveillance.

The first time he saw the tianxuan mirror, Li Fan had conducted a test.

After learning that the Luli Fish on Liuli Island had gone extinct, he first bought a batch of azure glaze pearls at their original price, and then sold this information to the tianxuan mirror.

Afterward, the price of azure glaze pearls skyrocketed, and he made a small profit from it.

He also confirmed that the tianxuan mirror was not omniscient. It could not know everything that happened outside Wanxian Island.

With Huan Zhen on him, Li Fan had made several deliberate attempts to avoid the tianxuan mirror to ensure his own secrets weren't discovered.

But once the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation is established…

The tianxuan mirror will compensate for this weakness.

It's likely that all of Li Fan's small actions will not escape its prying eyes.

Thinking that his every move would be under the constant surveillance of the tianxuan mirror from now on, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

A more malicious speculation was whether the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would establish a special agency.

Once they detected any abnormal behavior in a Cultivator, they would dispatch agency members to deal with it.

In this way, it's likely that all unstable factors would be nipped in the bud.

"It seems I need to reconsider whether to profit from lingwu grass in the next life."

"Although it could make me rich overnight, the impact and changes brought by a war are too great. Especially with this Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, once it's built, I'm afraid I'll be in a difficult position, and it will be hard to keep my secrets."

At this point, for the first time in this life, Li Fan finally felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

"No wonder the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is so determined to build the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation this time, even bringing me back, someone who had already been eliminated, to ensure enough personnel for the Formation…"

"However, the widespread adoption of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation in this life is already an unstoppable trend. From now on, I can only be more careful in my actions and absolutely must not expose my abnormalities."

"If it really comes down to it, I'll just Huan Zhen. Anyway, I've already Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, and after Essence Manifestation, I can retain my cultivation."

Li Fan sighed inwardly and continued reading the Jade Slip left by Zhang Zhiliang.

Upon seeing the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, Zhang Zhiliang instantly comprehended the Formation's power, and fear arose in his heart.

At the same time, he was also inspired.

The combination of Formation and the tianxuan mirror was indeed feasible.

To try and possess the tianxuan mirror for himself was clearly absurd.

So, what kind of exotic treasure could serve as a subordinate alternative to the tianxuan mirror, acting as the core of the Infinite Law?

After a period of searching, Zhang Zhiliang found the answer.

The Celestial Mystery Secondary Body of the tianxuan mirror.

If the newly formed mirror surface was a Clone newly created by the tianxuan mirror.

Then the Celestial Mystery Secondary Body was a completely new sub-entity that the tianxuan mirror would occasionally create by chance.

The newly formed mirror surface, as a Clone of the tianxuan mirror, maintained constant contact with the main body.

However, the Celestial Mystery Secondary Body could be regarded as a completely independent, newly born individual.

Since its birth, it had no connection with the tianxuan mirror. And it would inherit a portion of the tianxuan mirror's characteristics.

As a subordinate alternative to the tianxuan mirror, it was perfectly suitable.

The tianxuan mirror was out of reach, but its Celestial Mystery Secondary Body could be planned for.

Over the long years, the tianxuan mirror had given birth to dozens of Celestial Mystery Secondary Bodies.

Their actual functions varied in strength, and they were often bestowed upon Cultivators who had made outstanding contributions to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

For example, there was a type of Celestial Mystery Secondary Body called the "Qingxuan Mirror."

The Qingxuan Mirror replicated and stored all the knowledge and information that existed within the tianxuan mirror before it detached from it.

Although new information generated in the tianxuan mirror after its birth could not be synchronized, it was still an absolutely vast and all-encompassing existence that a Cultivator could not fully comprehend in a lifetime.

In Zhang Zhiliang's conjecture, there must be one or even several Celestial Mystery Secondary Bodies that inherited the tianxuan mirror's terrifying computing power.

As long as he could get his hands on it, the true birth of the Infinite Law would not be far off.

Even as a second-best option, any random Celestial Mystery Secondary Body would be enough to support the prototype of the Infinite Law.

…

"Celestial Mystery Secondary Body of the tianxuan mirror…"

"With dozens in existence, if one were to inquire carefully, they might not be unattainable."

Li Fan's eyes flickered slightly.

After this, it was Zhang Zhiliang's specific insights into the Infinite Law.

It was indeed much more profound than before.

The program for the Formation's self-evolution was optimized, and efficiency was greatly improved.

Li Fan cultivated, reviewed the construction of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, and continued to research the Infinite Law.

Time quietly flowed by, and soon it was the day for Li Fan's group's assessment.

Following Ji Hongdao's guidance, Li Fan was teleported to a vast, empty space.

A black storage ring fell into his palm, filled with Formation Materials.

Not far away, the Array Pivot, containing the newly formed mirror surface, floated quietly in the air.

At the same time, a red pointer suddenly appeared above his head, indicating the assessment time.

Li Fan took a deep breath, composed himself, took out the Materials from the storage ring, and began his Formation arrangement.

With the assistance of the Mystic One Transformation Dao secret technique, Li Fan's Formation arrangement technique was incredibly precise.

His speed was also remarkably fast; after an initial period of adaptation, his efficiency soared.

It only took him two and a half days to complete the construction of the central core area of the Formation.

Next, he had to perfectly embed the Array Pivot into the core Formation area.

Li Fan, however, encountered difficulties at this step.
