Chapter 271: Tian Xuan Spirit Locking Formation
Chapter 269 – Tian Xuan Spirit Locking Formation
Li Fan didn’t even think about it, a look of great surprise appeared on his face as he said in a loud voice, “My junior is willing to go!”
Li Fan’s reaction did not exceed Zhang Zhiliang’s expectations.
He nodded and explained, “The purpose of this training is to allow the younger generation, to master the [Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation] as soon as possible.”
“Thus striving, within thirty years, to envelop every area of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance within the Spirit Locking Formation.”
Li Fan’s expression moved slightly, “Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation? Could it be that formation that made a big splash in the Nine Mountain State and was able to mark out all the Five Elders Association cultivators with pillars of light?”
Zhang Zhiliang was satisfied with Li Fan’s quick response and nodded, “Not bad. The Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation is a formation that was developed by many formation masters after the battle of Tianling Prefecture, by studying the captured cultivators of the Five Elders Association.”
“Five Elders Society cultivators?” Li Fan was a little puzzled.
“Dare I ask Master, this formation research, why would it be associated with cultivators?”
Zhang Zhiliang was patient with Li Fan and explained right away, “Do you know how the Five Elders Association is different from our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?”
Li Fan replied, “Our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is a free alliance. With our own efforts, we accumulate contribution points and earn merits.”
“And that Five Elders Association ……”
“Although you can obtain merit laws for free, you need to sign a contract of sale.”
“A lifetime of being subject to others. It’s not as free as our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”
“I won’t hide it from you, senior, when I was a casual cultivator before, I had considered which side to join.”
“After comparing the conditions of both sides, I chose to join our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance without hesitation.”
Li Fan said with great righteousness.
Zhang Zhiliang smiled faintly, not commenting on Li Fan’s pretense of loyalty.
Continuing, he said, “Not bad, every cultivator who joins the Five Elders Association will sign that one [Soul Contract].”
“The soul is naturally different from ordinary cultivators.”
“A long time ago, we came up with the idea of screening the enemy and us based on this difference.”
“Nay, the number of research samples was insufficient, and we never succeeded.”
“Not long ago, in the Great Battle of Tian Ling Zhou, although overall it was our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that was at a disadvantage.”
“But we weren’t entirely unproductive.”
“This Heavenly Xuan Spirit Locking Formation is one of the results of the war.”
Zhang Zhiliang seemed to recall something, his expression inexplicable, and his tone sullen.
However, he quickly returned to normal and continued, “Within the coverage area of the grand formation, it can detect the divine soul idiosyncrasies caused by the [Soul Contract]. From there, it can carry out enemy and self marking.”
“The marking goes straight to the divine soul, and cannot be solved by non-Harmonization cultivators.”
“The successful development of this formation is of great significance.”
“At the very least, once it is popularized, unusual spies will no longer be able to hide.”
“And the pillar of light that runs through heaven and earth also eliminates the possibility of a sneak attack by the Five Elders Association.”
Zhang Zhiliang said eloquently, his face unable to avoid a somewhat smug look.
“It’s just that this formation involves the cultivator’s divine soul and is arduous and obscure.”
“Ordinary formation masters are simply incapable of constructing it.”
“In order to spread the Heavenly Xuan Spirit Locking Formation as quickly as possible, there is a need to train a group of formation masters who are skilled in this path.”
“The Tianyu Prefecture training in two years’ time will aim to do just that.”
“The reason why it’s going to drag on for two more years. It’s still because of the reasons involving the divine soul.”
“Not only does the organizer’s side need to gather various materials.”
“The young members involved also need to be well prepared.”
With that, Zhang Zhiliang threw a storage ring over.
Li Fan took the ring and examined it, frowning slightly.
It was because inside the storage ring, there was actually a corpse lying.
And apart from the corpse, it was empty.
What was even more peculiar was that the body of this corpse was no different from an ordinary cultivator.
It was even dressed exactly like a normal cultivator.
The only thing that was creepy was that the corpse’s head, instead of belonging to a human, was the head of a horse!
“This is ……”
“This is the legendary [Intentional Horse]. But it’s precious, I didn’t share much, so don’t lose it.” Zhang Zhiliang’s voice slowly came out.
“Intentional Horse?” Li Fan’s heart moved slightly.
“The late generation knows of the existence of the [Heart Ape], which is able to enhance and quickly replenish the consumption of Divine Sense. I don’t know about this Intentional Horse, what is the use of it?” Li Fan asked without understanding.
“The Heart Ape is to strengthen the Divine Sense, while the Intention Horse, is to strengthen the Divine Soul.” Zhang Zhiliang slowly said.
“As for how to strengthen ……,” Zhang Zhiliang suddenly had an inexplicable smile appear on his face.
“You’ll know if you try it yourself.” Li Fan nodded, indicating that he was clear.
“At the beginning of the closed training, there must be an examination for the members of the states that went there. You will need to work harder during these two years.”
“When the time comes, don’t disgrace our Cong Yunhai.”
Zhang Zhiliang exhorted, and then handed over three more distraction jade slips to Li Fan.
“There are a total of six of my Distraction Jade Slips. If you can read them through, it means that you will be ready to leave the division.”
“Nor do I expect you to be able to do so within these two years. But still, I’ll hand it over to you first. As a sign of incentive.”
Li Fan bowed and thanked him, accepting the jade slip.
“You and go, prepare yourself well! I will inform you again before the training officially begins.”
Zhang Zhiliang waved his hand.
Returning to the Tian Xuan Mirror, Li Fan first searched for the [Yima]’s information.
The results were few and far between, with little valid information.
It didn’t seem to be something that an unusual Foundation Establishment cultivator would know about.
After all, even Zhang Zhiliang had said that it was precious, so its high value was evident.
“Try it yourself ……”
Li Fan’s eyes flashed as he released the corpse of the person Horse Face from the ring.
“How to try?”
Li Fan first quietly observed from the side for a few moments, nothing unusual happened.
After pondering for a moment, he then touched it with his hand.
……
After a long time, nothing seemed to have changed.
It was as if what was in front of him was a completely ordinary, just a little strange looking corpse.
“Strange ……”
After another while, Li Fan still hadn’t been able to figure out a way to use the [Yima].
Doubts arose in his heart, and he couldn’t help but subconsciously touch his chin.
When Li Fan’s hand touched his chin, his body was abruptly frozen.
Cardiac arrest.
“Could it be that ……”
Li Fan cast the Mirror Technique and observed his face.
“……”
“It’s true.”
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when he saw his human horse-faced self in the mirror, Li Fan still felt a bit unnerved.
“It’s hard to believe that this [Yima] in front of him, that’s how it came to be?”
In a flash, a thought suddenly surfaced uncontrollably in Li Fan’s mind.
“Then, how did it die?”
Then, Li Fan couldn’t help but think so.
Li Fan’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on the corpse of the Italian horse lying quietly on the ground.
There was not a single scratch on his body.
While looking at it, Li Fan’s heart steeply developed a chill.
Because he suddenly realized that this Italian horse corpse lying on the ground.
At some point an inexplicable change had occurred.
Dressed so familiarly, it was clearly identical to Li Fan.
“No. …… It’s not just the clothes.”
Li Fan’s heart sank.
The entire [Yima] corpse was quietly, becoming just like Li Fan.
“This corpse, is what will happen to me soon?”
A thought suddenly appeared.
“I ……”
“Will die?”
Fear descended in a flash.
