Chapter 269: Mysterious Heavenly Soul Locking Array
Li Fan didn't even think about it, his face showed a look of great surprise, and he said repeatedly: "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 enable the younger generation to master the [Tianxuan Locking Soul Array] as soon as possible."
"So as to strive to cover every area of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance within the range of the Locking Soul Array within 30 years."
Li Fan's expression moved slightly: "Tianxuan Locking Soul Array? Is it the formation that shines in Jiushanzhou and can mark all the Five Elders with light columns?"
Zhang Zhiliang was very satisfied with Li Fan's quick reaction and nodded: "Yes. The Tianxuan Locking Soul Array was developed by many formation masters after the battle of Tianlingzhou by studying the captured Five Elders."
"Five Elders?" Li Fan was a little confused.
"Master, why is the study of formations related to cultivators?"
Zhang Zhiliang was very patient with Li Fan and explained: "Do you know the difference between the Five Elders and our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"
Li Fan replied: "Our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is a free alliance. Through your own efforts, you can accumulate contribution points and earn skills."
"And the Five Elders..."
"Although you can get skills for free, you need to sign a contract to sell yourself."
"You will be controlled by others all your life. You can't compare to the free and easy life of our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"To be honest with you, senior, when I was a casual cultivator, I considered joining which side."
"After comparing the conditions of both sides, I chose to join our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance without hesitation."
Li Fan said righteously.
Zhang Zhiliang smiled slightly and did not comment on Li Fan's pretended loyalty.
He continued, "Yes, every cultivator who joins the Five Elders will sign a [Soul Contract]."
"The soul is naturally different from that of ordinary cultivators."
"A long time ago, we came up with the idea of distinguishing between the enemy and us based on this difference."
"However, the number of research samples was not enough, so it was never successful."
"In the recent Tianlingzhou War, although our Wanxian League was generally at a disadvantage."
"But we did not gain nothing."
"This Tianxuan Locking Soul Array is one of the results of the war."
Zhang Zhiliang seemed to recall something, his expression was inexplicable, and his tone was a little bleak.
But it soon returned to normal, and then said: "Within the coverage of the formation, the soul singularity caused by [Soul Contract] can be detected. Thus, the enemy and friend can be marked."
"The mark goes straight to the soul, and only the cultivators of the Dao can solve it."
"The successful development of this formation is of great significance."
"At the very least, once it is popularized, ordinary spies will no longer be able to hide."
"And the light column that penetrates the sky and the earth also eliminates the possibility of a sneak attack by the Five Elders."
Zhang Zhiliang said calmly, his face inevitably showing some pride.
"It's just that this formation involves the soul of the cultivator, which is difficult and obscure."
"Ordinary formation masters are simply unable to construct it."
"In order to roll out the Tianxuan Locking Soul Formation as soon as possible, a group of formation masters who are proficient in this need to be trained."
"The purpose of the Tianyuzhou training in two years is this."
"The reason why it will take another two years is because it involves the soul."
"Not only does the organizer need to collect various materials."
"The participating young members also need to be fully prepared."
As he said, Zhang Zhiliang threw a storage ring over.
Li Fan took the ring and looked at it, frowning slightly.
Because there was a corpse lying inside the storage ring.
And there was nothing else except the corpse.
What was even more peculiar was that the body of the corpse was no different from that of an ordinary cultivator.
Even the clothes and dressing were exactly the same as those of a normal cultivator.
The only thing that shocked people was that the head of the corpse did not belong to a human, but a horse's head!
"This is..."
"This is the legendary [Willing Horse]. But it is very precious, and I didn't get much, so don't lose it." Zhang Zhiliang's voice came slowly.
"Willing Horse?" Li Fan's heart moved slightly.
"Junior knows the existence of [Mind Monkey], which can enhance and quickly replenish the consumption of spiritual consciousness. I wonder what the use of this Willing Horse is?" Li Fan asked without understanding.
"Mind Monkey strengthens spiritual consciousness, while Willing Horse strengthens the soul." Zhang Zhiliang said slowly.
"As for how to strengthen..." Zhang Zhiliang's face suddenly showed an inexplicable smile.
"You will know after you try it yourself."
Li Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"At the beginning of the closed training, members from each state must be assessed. You still need to work hard in the next two years."
"When the time comes, don't lose face for Cong Yunhai."
Zhang Zhiliang reminded him, and then handed three soul-dividing jade slips to Li Fan.
"I have a total of six soul-dividing jade slips. If you can read them all, it means you can become a master."
"I don't expect you to be able to do it in the next two years. But I'll give it to you first. As an encouragement."
Li Fan bowed and thanked him, and took the jade slips.
"You go ahead and prepare well! I'll notify you again before the training officially starts."
Zhang Zhiliang waved his hand.
Back in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan first searched for information about [Yima].
The results were few and there was no useful information.
It seems that it is not something that ordinary foundation-building cultivators can know.
After all, Zhang Zhiliang also said that it is precious, so its value is obvious.
"Try it yourself..."
Li Fan's eyes flashed, and he released the human-horse-faced corpse in the ring.
"How to try it?"
Li Fan first observed quietly for a moment, and nothing unusual happened.
He pondered for a moment, and then touched it with his hand.
...
After a long time, it seemed that nothing changed.
It was as if the corpse in front of him was just an ordinary corpse that just looked a little strange.
"Strange..."
After a while, Li Fan still couldn't find a way to use [Yima].
Suddenly, doubts arose in his heart, and he touched his chin subconsciously.
When Li Fan's hand touched his chin, his body suddenly froze.
Heart stopped suddenly.
"Could it be..."
Li Fan performed the mirror technique and observed his face.
"..."
"As expected."
Although he was mentally prepared, Li Fan still felt a little chilly when he saw himself in the mirror with a human body and a horse face.
"Could it be that this is how the [Yima] in front of me came from?"
Instantly, a thought suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind uncontrollably.
"So, how did it die?"
Then, Li Fan couldn't help but think so.
Li Fan's eyes fell on the body of the Yima lying quietly on the ground.
There was not a single scar on the body.
As he looked at it, Li Fan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Because he suddenly found that the body of the Yima lying on the ground.
I don't know when it has changed inexplicably.
The clothes are so familiar, exactly the same as Li Fan.
"No... not just clothes."
Li Fan's heart sank.
The whole [Yima] body quietly became exactly the same as Li Fan.
"Is this body my fate in the near future?"
A thought suddenly appeared.
"I..."
"Will I die?"
Fear descended instantly.
