“Of course, if it just had the ability to break the Array, it wouldn’t be enough to entice me and my colleagues in the Array Strategy Hall.”

Just as the students were excitedly staring at the Dissociation Disc, discussing fervently, Ji Hongdao continued to speak.

“The outstanding strength of the Dissociation Disc lies in its potential for growth.”

Having said this, Ji Hongdao intentionally paused, waiting for the reaction of the students.

Just as he expected, the moment he said this, everyone reacted uproariously.

It’s widely known, in the Immortal Cultivation World, once a magic treasure has the potential for growth, its value will soar ten or even a hundred times.

Being a by-product of the TianXuan Mirror and carrying the ability to break the Array, this Dissociation Disc is already quite precious.

If it also possesses growth potential, then its value will be incalculable!

The students, with shining eyes, looked at Ji Hongdao, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing that he had sufficiently aroused everyone’s interest, Ji Hongdao no longer held back, saying, “We Array Masters always have a wish, to create our own perfect Array technique. The Dissociation Disc can help us achieve this.”

“Every time an Array is broken, the Dissociation Disc absorbs and stores the Array’s data within itself.”

“According to our research and observation, the Disc will spontaneously extrapolate from the absorbed Array in an attempt to fix any vulnerabilities used in the breaking process.”

“Once the flaws are rectified, a brand new Array is born.”

“Then, the Dissociation Disc will attempt to break this new Array.”

“Break-fix-repeat.”

“An Array in the hands of an ordinary Array Master often takes several years or even over a decade to undergo one iteration.”

“But with the Dissociation Disc, several iterations could be realized in just a year.”

“Of course, this efficiency is dependent on the difficulty of the Array to be broken.”

“If it’s an Array as complicated as the TianXuan Soul Locking Array, then the iteration efficiency will naturally slow down.”

“However, even so, the Dissociation Disc is still more efficient than all of us combined.”

Ji Hongdao lamented, showing no resentment at being surpassed by a magic treasure.

Unable to resist, he touched the gem in his hand again, and continued to speak.

“As the Dissociation Disc absorbs more Array data, its breaking ability will become stronger. Similarly, its extrapolation and iterative capabilities will become increasingly powerful.”

“I can’t even imagine the heights they will reach in the future.”

“It is said that our Alliance’s treasure, the TianXuan Mirror, was just an ordinary mirror at the beginning.”

“Only after witnessing the Law Transmission of the Immortals, and acquiring self-awareness, did it continuously grow over thousands of years and gradually transform into the mysterious object it is today.”

“Therefore, who knows? Maybe the Dissociation Disc in your hands will evolve into the second TianXuan Mirror?”

On hearing this, all the students involuntarily held their breaths.

They couldn’t help it, anyone affiliated to the Immortal Alliance knew the strength and value of the TianXuan Mirror. When they thought of the possibility of possessing a magic treasure comparable to the TianXuan Mirror in the future, their breaths unconsciously became more rapid.

“Master Ji, stop teasing us, announce the results soon!”

The speaker was a Golden Core Cultivator called Qi Chengcheng. He ranked at the top in each of the previous assessments.

He had absolute confidence in his performance, believing that out of the nine Dissociation Discs, one must be his.

That’s why he was so eager to prompt.

Li Fan savored Ji Hongdao’s words, detecting an unusual flavor in them.

Admittedly, this Dissociation Disc is indeed a remarkable gem.

If Ji Hongdao hadn’t exaggerated, it was essentially what Zhang Zhiliang expected—a perfect substitute for the TianXuan Mirror and the core of the Infinite Method.

Li Fan admitted that his heart was moved.

But Ji Hongdao’s rallying speech was somewhat strange.

If it had been said at the beginning of the training as motivation, it would have made sense.

But now, the final assessment had ended, and the results were determined. As per logic, the ownership of the nine Dissociation Discs must have been decided. So why would Ji Hongdao make such provocative statements? What could be his intent?

Even the possibility of it turning into the “Second TianXuan Mirror” was mentioned.

If he hadn’t known earlier that the TianXuan Mirror was possibly related to the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror, the sacred relic of the ancient Mystic Sky Sect, Li Fan might have believed Ji Hongdao’s bluff.

Just as Li Fan guessed, Ji Hongdao was playing a trick. With a slight smile, he revealed his true intention.

He waved his hand lightly, and a Golden List appeared in the Vault of Heaven.

On the list, from top to bottom, everyone’s names were written according to their performance ranking.

The top nine emitted a faintly golden purple radiance, extremely conspicuous.

As he opened the Golden List, Ji Hongdao simultaneously said, “I had promised before to award the nine Dissociation Discs to the top performers of this assessment.”

“The Headquarters of the Array Strategy Hall had personally approved this, so naturally, we won’t go back on our word.”

“However… ”

“There has been a change.”

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

Everyone glanced at each other, an ominous feeling welling up.

“Initially, there were indeed nine Dissociation Discs. Even now, the number is the same. But just yesterday, we suddenly found that out of the nine, the radiance of eight had slightly dimmed.”

“However, the glow of one did not decrease, but increase, becoming a bit stronger.”

“Although the degree of change was incredibly minute, we still detected it.”

“The sub-products of the TianXuan Mirror often carry unknown hidden characteristics which only manifest at specific times. So, we previously didn’t discern the true mystery of the Dissociation Disc… ”

“This is indeed our oversight.”

Ji Hongdao sighed, a flush appearing on his age-old face.

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

“Master Ji, are you suggesting that these nine Dissociation Discs can absorb each other?”

Qi Chengcheng couldn’t help asking.

Ji Hongdao nodded, “After detecting the anomaly, after detailed research, we found out that what appears to be nine Dissociation Discs is actually a single entity.”

“Whenever the ‘dissociation’ ability of one of them becomes stronger, it snatches the Primordial Power from the other sub-bodies to strengthen itself.”

“And the weaker ones, if they don’t catch up and stand their ground, will continuously have their own Primordial Power absorbed, becoming weaker and weaker, until they finally disappear.”

“This is known as the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.”

“In the end, in the constant competition of the nine Dissociation Discs, only one will survive.”

“And it will be the ultimate winner, possessing the combined power of all nine Dissociation Discs.”

“The true Dissociation Disc.”
