Chapter 335: Chapter 312: The Secret of the Spirit-locking Formation

This test was unlike ordinary ones.

Because the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array Core was tremendously rare, it wasn’t feasible to mobilize thousands of Array Cores to Tianyu Province for just one test.

Therefore, this practical array deployment exam wasn’t conducted for all the Array Study students at the same time, but was conducted in groups of fifty people each, with each group tested one after the other.

The order of participation in the exam was based on everyone’s comprehensive test scores.

Li Fan was ranked above average, so he did not have to wait too long.

The scale of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array was huge, and even the most gifted person could not complete its construction in less than several years.

After all, it was just an exam to test the array deployment skill level of everyone, so it was unthinkable to waste so much time.

Therefore, the specific rule was, within the limit of seven days, to construct the central core of the array as far as possible.

The final rankings were determined by the actual array deployment conditions.

Li Fan was assigned to the sixth group, so conservatively speaking, it would be around forty days later before it was his turn.

During the examination period, leaving was strictly forbidden.

Only students who had finished the exam were allowed to leave the Universal Courtyard and relax in the city of Tianyu.

However, given the earlier lesson, leaving Tianyu city was also not allowed.

In the meantime, Li Fan started studying the Small Black Box that Zhang Zhiliang had passed on to him.

He had tried to decrypt it before, but he wasn’t successful and temporarily gave up after a few attempts, as an unknown prohibition seemed to envelop the Small Black Box apart from the Sealing Array, and Zhang Zhiliang was still alive then.

Now that Zhang Zhiliang has fallen, Li Fan noticed that the prohibition had also naturally dissipated.

It is time to open Zhang Zhiliang’s legacy.

Without much effort, a silver line lit up on the Small Black Box, and Li Fan broke the Sealing Array.

The contents of the box were revealed, not very different from his lifetime in the twelfth world.

It contained an Encrypted Jade Scroll which recorded the Infinite Techinique, the Heart Ape Fragrance, Knowledge Spirit Orb, legacy currency, and a normal Jade Scroll recording Zhang Zhiliang’s testament.

Li Fan began by reading Zhang Zhiliang’s testament.

A moment later, feeling poignant, he put down the Jade Scroll.

In his testament, Zhang Zhiliang briefly explained that a few years ago, by an unexpected stroke of luck, he learned that the Crimson Flame was about to descend on Misthaven Ocean.

In order to ascend to the Unity Realm, he began a desperate plot.

If Li Fan could see the testament in the Jade Scroll, it would mean that his Unity attempt had failed, and he had been eradicated.

Throughout Zhang Zhiliang’s testament, there was a tone of regret, but he also expressed no regret.

In the Celestial Spirit State War, monks from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization were mutually slaughtering each other, falling one after the other like ants.

Zhang Zhiliang saw with his own eyes several cultivators, who were usually friendly with him, dying tragically in front of him.

The entire sky was occupied by the vision of fallen cultivators.

Often before one has had a good look at the one who had just fallen, the vision would be covered by the spectacle of the next fallen cultivator.

In this war, the pride of Zhang Zhiliang, a Nascent Soul Array Master, was completely crushed.

Not to mention the Nascent Soul, even a God Transforming cultivator, could only go with the flow in this war, with life and death determined by fate.

“Below the Unity-Path, all are ants.”

In the wake of Zhang Zhiliang’s enlightenment, an infinite ambition for the Unity-Path was inevitably born in his heart.

Having a narrow escape from death and returning to Misthaven Ocean, he had an epiphany, and ascended to the God Transformation Stage.

Now that a providential opportunity has presented itself again, how could he possibly give up?

If defeated, he would be dead. He was already prepared for it a long time ago.

Fearing that his lifelong study, the [Infinite Techinique] might disappear, he left his legacy in advance.

Since most of his savings were used to manufacture the Array Crown, the amount of legacy currency left in this world was a little less than before, only about more than 200,000 points.

For Li Fan now, it’s just a drop in the bucket.

What Li Fan was more interested in was how Zhang Zhiliang’s Infinite Techinique at the God Transformation Stage differed from when he was in the Nascent Soul Stage.

After igniting the Heart Ape Fragrance, Li Fan picked up the golden Embellished Encrypted Jade Scroll and started reading it closely.

After reaching the Golden Core Realm, his spiritual perception strength surged dramatically.

This time, there were no dizzy spells, and Li Fan quickly skimmed through the contents of the Jade Scroll.

Li Fan was extremely familiar with the original content of the Infinite Techinique.

This time, upon comparing it with the new version, he quickly noticed the differences, or rather, the improvements.

The core concept of the Infinite Techinique was that the array could continuously evolve itself, always remaining in a state of growth.

The key point was the lack of a central core that could provide computational support for the infinite evolution of the array.

During his twelfth life, due to the limitations of the Nascent Soul Realm, Zhang Zhiliang did not clearly state what the possible reference object for this core could be.

However, this time, Zhang Zhiliang bluntly stated that the most suitable candidate for the central core of the Infinite Techinique was the Tianxuan Mirror, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ treasure.

Regardless of how many cultivators used the Tianxuan Mirror at the same time, it would never lag.

Let alone the fact that the Tianxuan Mirror also had to handle tasks such as regulating prices and controlling the flow of information.

It was terrifying to imagine to what unimaginable extent its data processing capabilities had reached.

Furthermore, the Tianxuan Mirror possessed its own Spirit Wisdom, which perfectly matched the Infinite Techinique.

Because of its unique place within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, Zhang Zhiliang had never thought about it before.

However, after the Celestial Spirit State War, the emergence of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array gave him an insight.

“The Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array is a grand attempt at combining the Tianxuan Mirror’s capabilities with an array.”

“They all think that this attempt is somewhat incredible, but from my point of view, they are still somewhat conservative.”

“But the Tianxuan Mirror is indeed too important. In the event of an error, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would inevitably fall into a severe turmoil. It’s only natural to be cautious.”

“Despite this, the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, with the newly formed mirror of the Tianxuan Mirror as the Array Core, has undergone a qualitative change compared to other arrays in the world.”

“You are undergoing closed training in Tianyu province, so you may have some understanding about how to construct it.”

“But the true power of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, you might not know.”

“In Jiushan Province, when the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array was unveiled for the first time, I went in person to feel it.”

“When I saw the light pillars piercing the heavens and earth, when I had an elusive sense of surveillance and looming threats throughout my body, when the fluctuations of the Tianxuan Mirror swept across me.”

“A shudder from the depths of my soul arose spontaneously.”

“Ji Hongdao and his accomplices are the real geniuses; they have created a real monster.”

“Just think, what will happen when one after another Tianxuan Spirit Locking Arrays are constructed, covering all the territories of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?”

“Tianxuan Spirit Locking, nothing can escape. All the happenings in the world, any slight stir, will fall precisely within the sight of the Tianxuan Mirror.”

“In front of the Tianxuan Mirror, cultivators of the world will have no secrets left.”

Li Fan was startled when he read this part.
