Chapter 314: The Secret of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation

The final test was different from ordinary tests.

Because the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation's formation core was very rare, it was impossible to mobilize thousands of formation cores to Tianyu Province for a single test.

So this formation construction assessment was not conducted simultaneously for all formation students, but in groups of fifty, tested in order based on their usual comprehensive test scores.

Li Fan ranked slightly above average, so he didn't have to wait for long.

The Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation was vast in scale. Even if one was a genius, it would take several years to fully construct it.

However, this was just a test to assess everyone's formation construction level. It was impossible to really waste so much time.

Thus, the goal was to construct the core structure of the formation as much as possible within seven days.

The final ranking would be determined by the accuracy of the formation.

Li Fan was in the sixth group, so conservatively estimating, it would be more than forty days before his turn.

During the assessment, leaving was strictly prohibited.

Only after the assessment ended were the students allowed to leave the Huan Yu Courtyard and relax in Tianyu City.

However, with the previous lesson, leaving Tianyu City was also not allowed.

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

Previously, Li Fan had attempted to crack it.

But at that time, Zhang Zhiliang was still alive, and there seemed to be an unknown restriction on the small black box besides the sealing formation. Li Fan tried several times without success, so he temporarily gave up.

Now that Zhang Zhiliang had fallen, Li Fan noticed that the unknown restriction had spontaneously disappeared.

It meant that it was time to open Zhang Zhiliang's legacy.

Without much effort, as a silver thread lit up on the small black box, Li Fan broke the sealing formation.

Inside, the contents were not much different from the twelfth life.

It contained encrypted jade slips of the Infinite Formation, Heart Monkey Incense, Testing Balls, the Inheritance Token, and ordinary jade slips recording Zhang Zhiliang's last words.

Li Fan first read Zhang Zhiliang's last words.

After a moment, with a thoughtful expression, he set the jade slip down.

In the last words, Zhang Zhiliang briefly explained that by chance several years ago, he learned about the impending arrival of the Crimson Flame in the Cong Yun Sea.

In order to ascend to the realm of Dao Integration, he began to plan with all his might.

If Li Fan could see the contents of the jade slip, it meant that he had failed in achieving Dao Integration and perished.

Zhang Zhiliang's tone was full of disappointment, but he also expressed no regrets.

In the battle of Tianling Province, cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association fought each other, dying one after another like ants.

Zhang Zhiliang even witnessed several friends tragically dying with his own eyes.

The entire sky was occupied by the death announcements of the fallen cultivators.

Often, before one's death was clearly announced, it was covered by the death announcements of the subsequently fallen cultivators.

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

Not to mention Nascent Soul, even Soul Transformation cultivators could only obey orders and leave life and death to fate.

"Under Dao Integration, all are ants."

As Zhang Zhiliang awakened, an infinite ambition for Dao Integration inevitably arose in his heart.

He survived to return to the Cong Yun Sea, and after narrowly surviving a disaster, he had an epiphany and advanced to Soul Transformation.

And now, with an opportunity given by the heavens, how could he possibly give up?

Defeat meant death, and he had long been prepared for it.

Fearful that his lifelong study of the Infinite Formation would vanish, he left behind his legacy in advance.

...

Because most of his savings were used to make formation crowns, the contribution points left in this life's legacy were slightly less than before, only a little more than 200,000 points.

For the present Li Fan, it was barely better than nothing.

What Li Fan valued more was how the Infinite Formation of Zhang Zhiliang in the Soul Transformation realm differed from when he was in the Nascent Soul realm.

Igniting the Heart Monkey Incense, Li Fan picked up the encrypted jade slip with golden corners and began to read it carefully.

After reaching the Golden Core realm, the strength of his divine sense skyrocketed.

This time, there was no dizziness, and Li Fan quickly skimmed through the contents of the jade slip.

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

Upon comparison with this new version, he quickly noticed the differences, or rather, the improvements.

The core concept of the Infinite Formation was that the formation could constantly evolve on its own, always in a state of growth.

The most crucial point was the lack of a central core that could provide computational support for the formation's unlimited evolution.

In the twelfth life, due to the limitations of the Nascent Soul realm, Zhang Zhiliang did not clearly state the possible reference objects for this core.

But this time, Zhang Zhiliang was blunt and stated that the most suitable core for the Infinite Formation was the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's supreme treasure, the Tianxuan Mirror.

Whenever countless cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance used the Tianxuan Mirror at the same time, it never experienced any lag.

Not to mention that the Tianxuan Mirror also had to simultaneously regulate prices, control the flow of information, and so on.

It could be seen that its data processing capabilities had reached an unimaginable level.

Moreover, the Tianxuan Mirror had its own spiritual intelligence, making it a perfect fit for the Infinite Formation.

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

However, after the Battle of Tianling Province, the emergence of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation gave him inspiration.

"The Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation is a great attempt to combine the capabilities of the Tianxuan Mirror's abilities with formations."

"Everyone else all thought this attempt is earth-shattering, but in my opinion, it is still somewhat conservative."

"However, the Tianxuan Mirror is too important. Once something goes wrong, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will inevitably fall into severe turmoil. Being cautious is only natural."

"Even so, with the Tianxuan Mirror's newborn mirror as the formation core, the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation is qualitatively different to other formations."

"You may have gained some understanding of how to construct it during your closed training in Tianyu Province."

"But you may not be aware of the true power of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation."

"In the Jiushan Province, when the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation first appeared, I personally went to experience it."

"When I saw those pillars of light that pierced through heaven and earth, when I felt the sense of being watched and threatened all over my body, and when the fluctuations of the Tianxuan Mirror swept over my body, a tremor from the depths of my soul arose."

"Ji Hongdao and the others are true geniuses, and are creating true monsters."

"Just think, when one Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation after another is completed, covering all the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, what will happen?"

"Under the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation it's hard for anything was hard to escape its surveillance. Everything that happens in the world, every bit of movement, would be captured without missing a single detail by the Tianxuan Mirror's gaze."

...

Li Fan couldn't help but be disturbed as he read this.
