"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Explosions echoed continuously on the square.
Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng were engaged in a fierce battle using the newly comprehended palm techniques, making it difficult to distinguish between them for a while.
Under the observation of heavenly vision and earth hearing, Li Fan carefully pondered their palm techniques.
Combining it with the previous insights into the Dao resonance, he suddenly felt enlightened.
So, it can be understood this way!
Although Li Fan had an average aptitude, he could still understand the palm techniques used by Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng, who were both in the early Foundation Establishment stage.
If you can't solve the problem, can't you copy it?
First learn from their comprehension, master the palm techniques, and then gradually incorporate his own insights to finally create a palm technique that belonged entirely to himself.During the observation, Li Fan also discovered the differences in their palm techniques.
Although both were inspired by the same strand of Dao resonance, Xiao Heng's palm technique carried a misty and elusive quality.
On the other hand, Su Xiaomei's palm technique contained an unparalleled domineering intent.
It seemed that with each strike, everything in heaven and earth would submit.
It wasn't a matter of superiority or inferiority.
It could only be said that the palm technique of the original Sea Covering Palm was too astonishing, having many facets.
The palm techniques of Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng contained both their own comprehension and the intent contained in the original Sea Covering Palm.
...
The battle between Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei continued for a whole day.
It finally ended under Li Fan's call to stop.
"Not bad. It seems you've gained quite a bit. However, remember not to be complacent."
"You both are far from comprehending this Dao resonance completely."
"Next, continue your cultivation, ponder the Dao resonance, and spar with each other."
Li Fan instructed, and both Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei nodded in agreement.
With the help of the two outstanding talents, Li Fan's understanding of the original Sea Covering Palm technique continued to grow.
Unfortunately, as time passed, Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei's palm techniques were nearing perfection.
However, Li Fan felt that something was missing in his own palm technique.
The palm he executed was still within the realm of stances and was far from reaching the level of divine abilities.
However, Li Fan wasn't impatient.
He patiently optimized and elevated his palm technique.
Two months later.
In the underground closed-door cultivation room.
As the little black box lit up with silver threads, the sealing formation finally broke.
Several items inside appeared in Li Fan's clone's field of view.
One of them seemed familiar to Li Fan.
It was an encrypted jade slip with golden corners.
However, the contents of this jade slip were not the "Mountain and River Vein Formation Diagrams" left by He Zhenghao.
Li Fan entered his divine sense into it to read the contents.
After a short while, Li Fan felt dizzy, and his divine sense retreated from the jade slip.
He pressed his temples, easing the tingling sensation in his divine sense.
But Li Fan's eyes showed an excited expression.
The contents recorded in this jade slip were the lifelong learnings of Zhang Zhiliang, the first in formations in the Cong Yun Sea.
"Infinite Formation."
The formation insights from both He Zhenghao and Zhang Zhiliang were now in Li Fan's hands.
It seemed that his clone wouldn't be idle for a long time.
With dedicated study, Li Fan's knowledge of formations was bound to have a bright future.
Li Fan was very much looking forward to the reaction of He Zhenghao when he sat down to discuss formations in the next life.
Having calmed his mood, Li Fan checked the remaining items.
A small white bag filled with silver fragrances.
It was the fragrance Li Fan often used during Zhang Zhiliang's arduous study, capable of eliminating mental fatigue.
A small black ball.
It was the testing ball used to assess one's proficiency in formations.
A golden foil paper. An ordinary jade slip.
Li Fan first read the jade slip.
It contained the last words of Zhang Zhiliang.
Zhang Zhiliang didn't mention the Ten Thousand Immortals Island group's plot against Crimson Flame.
Instead, he introduced Li Fan to his "Infinite Formation" and explained the purpose of the golden foil paper.
Zhang Zhiliang's "Infinite Formation" was his life's work.
The scene where hundreds of thousands of formation crowns bloomed that day, deciding the outcome of the Dao Integration competition while only at the Nascent Soul realm, left a deep impression on Li Fan.
However, according to Zhang Zhiliang's last words, the "Infinite Formation" he was currently cultivating was far from reaching completion.
Zhang Zhiliang had once said during a lecture that formations were standardized laws.
While standardization simplified the application of laws, it inevitably brought a fatal flaw.
All formations in the world could be broken.
Once a formation was set up, it became fixed after standardization.
Even for formations like the Seven-Colored Immortal-Felling Formation, said to be unbreakable, someone proficient in formations could identify its weaknesses, spend enough time, and eventually crack it.
However, if a formation could constantly evolve, forever in a state of growth, and if its growth rate surpassed the rate of the world's strongest formation masters in deciphering it, then this formation would be one that could never be broken.
This was Zhang Zhiliang's lifelong wish.
The "Infinite Formation."
Unfortunately, although Zhang Zhiliang's formation skills were extraordinary, he was far from creating a true "Infinite Formation."
The critical factor was the lack of a core.
A central hub that could provide computational support for the infinite evolution of the formation.
Zhang Zhiliang tried various things to act as this core.
Heavenly Treasures, the consciousness of cultivators, ancient artifacts...
But all of them without exception ended in failure.
The requirements of the "Infinite Formation" for the core's computational power were too terrifying, even beyond Zhang Zhiliang's cognitive limits.
In addition to the computational power requirement, the core must possess its own spiritual intelligence.
The evolution of the "Infinite Formation" had countless directions.
If determining the evolution path was just a simple brute force deduction, the evolution speed would be greatly reduced.
But if the core has its own intelligence, constantly coordinating computational power, continuously adjusting the optimal evolutionary direction, and even making corresponding optimizations based on the attempts of formation masters to decipher it.
Only then can it be considered a true "Infinite Formation."
Of course, Zhang Zhiliang doesn't have any expectations for whether Li Fan can achieve the "Infinite Formation."
What he hopes for is simply that Li Fan can inherit his current mantle.
Then pass it down from generation to generation.
He hoped that one day, a true formation genius will be discovered, and could fulfill the grand dream of the "Infinite Formation."
As for that golden foil paper, it's meant to inspire Li Fan in the study of formations.
Its name is the Inheritance Token.
Essentially, it's an inheritance of a significant amount of contribution points.
Only under certain conditions reached after the death of a cultivator can it be claimed.
The left by Zhang Zhiliang astonishingly contains a total of four hundred thousand contribution points.
It can be claimed in ten installments.
The condition for receiving each time was to pass the test of formation knowledge of the testing ball.
A total of ten levels of tests.
If one truly inherits Zhang Zhiliang's "Infinite Formation," then all four hundred thousand contribution points can be obtained.
And if one cannot even pass the first-level test, then they can only watch the mountain of treasure without gaining a single contribution point.
