Chapter 322 Nine Discs Need to Fight for Supremacy

“Of course, if it only had the function of breaking Formations, it wouldn’t be enough to move me and my colleagues in Ce Zhen Hall.”

Just as the students eagerly stared at the Disintegration Disc, discussing animatedly, Ji Hongdao continued, “The true power of the Disintegration Disc lies in its growth potential.”

After saying this, Ji Hongdao deliberately paused, waiting for the students to react.

And as he expected, once these words were out, a commotion immediately broke out among the crowd.

It was well-known in the Cultivation World that any Magic Treasure, once associated with growth potential, would see its value skyrocket tenfold, even a hundredfold.

Originally, as a secondary product of the tianxuan mirror, this Disintegration Disc, with its Formation-breaking capabilities, was already extremely precious.

If it also possessed growth potential, its value would be immeasurable!

The students’ eyes gleamed as they looked at Ji Hongdao, awaiting his explanation.

Seeing that he had sufficiently whetted everyone's appetite, Ji Hongdao no longer played coy and said, “We, Formation Masters, always harbor a long-cherished wish in our hearts: to create our own perfect Formation. The Disintegration Disc can help us achieve this.”

“Every time it breaks a Formation, the Disintegration Disc will absorb and store the Formation data within itself.”

“According to our research and observations, after this, the Disintegration Disc will spontaneously deduce the absorbed Formation, attempting to repair the loopholes exploited during the previous breaking process.”

“When the flaws are mended, a brand new Formation is born.”

“Subsequently, the Disintegration Disc will once again attempt to decipher this new Formation.”

“Break – Repair – Re-break.”

“A Formation, in the hands of an ordinary Formation Master, often requires several years, even more than ten years, to undergo a single iteration.”

“But with this Disintegration Disc, it can often achieve several iterations within a year.”

“Of course, this efficiency is also somewhat related to the difficulty of the Formation being broken.”

“If it’s a Formation of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation Rank, then the iteration efficiency will naturally slow down.”

“However, even so, the Disintegration Disc is still more efficient than all of us put together.”

Ji Hongdao exclaimed in admiration, showing no hint of unwillingness at being surpassed by a Magic Treasure.

He couldn't help but touch the treasure in his hand again, and Ji Hongdao continued.

“The more Formation data the Disintegration Disc absorbs, the stronger its breaking ability will become. Similarly, its deduction and iteration capabilities will also grow increasingly powerful.”

“It’s truly unimaginable what heights they will reach in the future.”

“It is said that our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s supreme treasure, the tianxuan mirror, was just an ordinary mirror in the beginning.”

“It was only after witnessing an Immortal Venerable’s Chuan Fa and developing self-awareness that, through thousands of years of continuous growth, it gradually transformed into its current mysterious state.”

“So, who knows if, in your hands, the Disintegration Disc will evolve into a second tianxuan mirror?”

At these words, all the students present held their breath.

There was no way around it; anyone belonging to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance knew the power and preciousness of the tianxuan mirror. The thought of potentially possessing a Magic Treasure comparable to the tianxuan mirror in the future caused everyone’s breathing to quicken moments later.

“Ji Shi, stop teasing us! Announce the results!”

The speaker was a Golden Core cultivator named Qi Chengcheng. This person had consistently ranked at the top in every subject during the previous assessments.

He had absolute confidence in his results, believing that one of these nine Disintegration Discs would surely be his.

That’s why he urged them so impatiently.

Li Fan, on the other hand, carefully savored Ji Hongdao’s words, discerning a different flavor to them.

Indeed, this Disintegration Disc was an extraordinary and remarkable treasure.

If Ji Hongdao hadn't exaggerated, it was essentially what Zhang Zhiliang had hoped for: a perfect lower-tier substitute for the tianxuan mirror and the core of the Infinite Law.

Li Fan also admitted that he was tempted.

However, Ji Hongdao’s rousing speech was somewhat peculiar.

If these words had been spoken at the beginning of the training, as motivation, then it would be understandable.

But now, the final assessment had already concluded, and the results were set. Logically speaking, the ownership of the nine Disintegration Discs should have already been decided. What was the meaning of Ji Hongdao uttering such inflammatory words now?

He even brought out phrases like, “Who knows if it will become a second tianxuan mirror?”

If Li Fan hadn't already known that the tianxuan mirror was likely connected to the Xuantian Sect’s supreme treasure, the xuantian treasure mirror, from ancient times, he would have almost believed Ji Hongdao’s nonsense.

And just as Li Fan expected, after a slight smile, Ji Hongdao revealed his true intentions.

With a gentle wave, a golden榜 appeared on the sky screen.

On the golden榜, from top to bottom, the names of the participants were listed in order of their scores.

The top nine names, moreover, emitted a faint purple-gold glow, making them incredibly conspicuous.

As he opened the golden榜, Ji Hongdao also announced, “We previously promised to award these nine Disintegration Discs as prizes to the top performers in this assessment.”

“This matter was personally decided by the Ce Zhen Hall headquarters, so we naturally won’t go back on our word.”

“However…”

“Things have changed.”

At this point, a hint of helplessness appeared on Ji Hongdao’s face.

Everyone looked at each other, a bad feeling rising in their hearts.

“Initially, there were indeed nine Disintegration Discs. Even now, the number remains the same. However, just yesterday, we suddenly discovered that eight of these nine Disintegration Discs had dimmed slightly.”

“And the other one, its light did not diminish but instead increased, becoming somewhat stronger.”

“Although the degree of this change was extremely subtle, we still detected it.”

“tianxuan mirror secondary bodies often possess unknown hidden characteristics that only manifest at specific times. That’s why we couldn’t detect the true mystery of these Disintegration Discs before…”

“This matter was indeed our oversight.”

Ji Hongdao sighed, his old face reddening.

The students, however, understood the meaning behind Ji Hongdao’s words.

“Ji Shi, do you mean that these nine Disintegration Discs will devour each other?”

Qi Chengcheng couldn't help but ask.

Ji Hongdao nodded: “After detecting the anomaly and conducting careful research, we discovered that these seemingly nine Disintegration Discs are, in fact, one entity.”

“Whenever the [Disintegration] ability of one of them becomes stronger, it will extract Origin from the other sub-bodies to strengthen itself.”

“And the weaker ones, if they stand still and don't catch up, will continuously have their Origin Power absorbed, becoming weaker and weaker, until they eventually disappear.”

“This is what we call: the strong grow stronger, and the weak grow weaker.”

“Ultimately, through the continuous competition among the nine Disintegration Discs, only one will survive.”

“And it will be the biggest winner, gathering the complete power of all nine Disintegration Discs.”

“The true Disintegration Disc.”
