My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 165 - 165: 153: Array Technique Has No Limits

In the square, the sound of explosions was incessant.

Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng had a stalemate, fighting only with the palm techniques they had just comprehended.

Under the perception of Heaven and Earth, Li Fan savored their palm techniques.

Combined with the Dao rhyme he had previously perceived, he suddenly felt enlightened.

So, it can be interpreted this way!

Although Li Fan did not have exceptional aptitude and could not directly comprehend divine techniques from the Dao rhyme, he could still understand the palm techniques used by Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng, who were also in the early phase of foundation establishment.

If I can’t solve a problem, can’t I still copy it?

First, he would take their comprehension as a reference and learn the palm divine technique. Then, he would gradually add his own comprehension to it, eventually forming a palm technique completely unique to him.

During the process of observation, Li Fan also discovered the differences in their palm techniques.

Although both were derived from observing the same Dao rhyme.

The artistic conception of Xiao Heng’s palm technique was ethereal and elusive, much like the Dao itself.

While Su Xiaomei’s palm technique contained a trace of an unparalleled domineering intention.

It seemed that with one palm strike, everything in heaven and earth would have to submit.

It could not be said who was superior.

It could only be said that the palm strike that covered the ocean was so astonishing that it showed many aspects.

Their palm techniques were both their own comprehension and the intentions contained in that ocean-covering palm strike itself.

The battle between Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei lasted a whole day.

It finally ended at Li Fan’s stoppage.

“Not bad, it seems you have gained quite a bit. However, remember not to be complacent.”

“You are far from fully comprehending this Dao rhyme.”

“Next, you will cultivate, perceive, and learn from each other.”

Upon Li Fan’s instruction, Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei nodded in agreement.

With the help of these two geniuses, Li Fan’s understanding of the palm covering the ocean increased day by day.

Unfortunately, as time passed, the palm techniques of Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei were approaching perfection.

However, Li Fan felt that he was still missing something.

The palm strike he issued was merely within the realm of moves.

It was far from rising to the level of divine techniques.

But Li Fan was not in a hurry.

He just patiently optimized and improved this palm technique.

Two months later.

In the underground seclusion area. With the illumination of silver lines on the small black box,

The sealing array on it was finally broken.

The few things inside immediately appeared in the sight of Li Fan’s avatar.

One of them was quite familiar to Li Fan.

It was the encrypted jade scroll with gold inlaid on all four corners.

However, the content in this jade scroll was definitely not the Mountain and River Hundred Veins Formation Map left by He Zhenghao.

Putting his divine sense into it to read the content,

Li Fan soon felt dizzy and his divine sense withdrew from the jade scroll.

Pressing his temples to ease the sharp pain in his divine sense,

Excitement showed in Li Fan’s eyes.

The content recorded in this jade scroll was everything Zhang Zhiliang, the number one Array Master in Misthaven Ocean, had learned his entire life.

[Infinite Technique].

The comprehension of arrays by He Zhenghao and Zhang Zhiliang had fallen into Li Fan’s hands.

It seemed that for a long time to come, his avatar would not be idle.

With his deep study, Li Fan’s future in the Array path was definitely bright.

Li Fan was very much looking forward to He Zhenghao’s reaction when they sit down and discuss in the next life.

After calming his emotions, Li Fan started inspecting the other things.

A small white bag, filled with silver incense.

It was the incense that Li Fan often used when studying painstakingly under Zhang Zhiliang, capable of eliminating mental fatigue.

A small black ball.

A Knowledge Spirit Orb used to test the level of Array Technique.

A piece of gold foil. A normal Jade Scroll.

Li Fan began by reading the Jade Scroll.

Naturally, it contained Zhang Zhiliang’s last words.

Zhang Zhiliang did not mention the conspiracy of God Transformation cultivators of Ten Thousand Immortals Island against Crimson Flame.

He only introduced his [Infinite Techinique] and the purpose of that piece of gold foil to Li Fan.

Zhang Zhiliang’s [Infinite Techinique] was the culmination of his life’s work.

The spectacle of hundreds of thousands of Array Crowns deploying all at once at the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm, influencing the battle between God Transformation and Unity-Path, left a deep impression on Li Fan.

However, according to Zhang Zhiliang’s last words, the [Infinite Techinique] he was currently cultivating was still far from perfection.

Zhang Zhiliang had once said in his lectures that an array technique is a systematized law.

While systematization can make the application of laws simpler and faster, it inevitably brings with it a fatal flaw.

All arrays in the world can be broken.

Once an array is laid out, systematization becomes fixed.

Those well-versed in array techniques can detect their weaknesses and, given enough time, break them.

The likes of the [Seven-coloured Falling Immortal Array] and [All Heavens Star Battle Array], though reputed to be immensely powerful.

But for an Array Master, if he really wants to break it, it’s just a matter of time.

What Zhang Zhiliang sought was an unbreakable array.

He believed the reason an Array could be broken was because it ceases to change once it’s laid out.

Having no changes, regardless of how complex or large, will eventually lead to a day when it is broken.

But if an Array can constantly evolve itself, always in a state of growth.

Moreover, if its rate of growth and change exceeds the speed at which the strongest Array Master in the world can break it.

Then such an Array would be truly unbreakable. This was Zhang Zhiliang’s lifelong pursuit.

[Infinite Techinique].

Unfortunately, even though Zhang Zhiliang’s Array technique skills were exceptional.

He was still far away from creating the real [Infinite Techinique].

The most crucial thing was that he lacked a core.

A core that could provide the computational support for infinite evolution of the Array.

Zhang Zhiliang had tried to use a variety of things as this core.

Natural Treasures, Cultivator’s awareness, Ancient Magical Treasures…

But they all failed without exception.

The computational requirements for the core of [Infinite Techinique] were ghastly, even beyond the upper limit that Zhang Zhiliang could conceive.

Besides computational requirement, the core must also have its own Spirit Wisdom.

There is an infinite number of directions for [Infinite] evolution.

If it only blindly enumerates, the speed of evolution will decrease significantly.

If the core has its own Spirit Wisdom, continuously managing computational power and adjusting optimal evolution direction.

Even responding to Array Masters’ attempts to break it with corresponding optimization.

Only then can [Infinite Techinique] be considered a real [Infinite Techinique].

Of course, Zhang Zhiliang did not hold any expectations for Li Fan to realize the [Infinite Techinique].

His hope was merely that Li Fan could inherit his current mantle.

And pass it down from generation to generation.

Hoping that one day, it would encounter a real Array Genius who would fulfill the aspiration of [Infinite Techinique].

As for the piece of gold foil, it was meant to motivate Li Fan’s study of Array Technique.

Its name is [Legacy].

In essence, it is an inheritance of a large amount of contribution points.

It can only be claimed after the cultivator’s death when certain conditions are met.

And Zhang Zhiliang’s [Legacy] astonishingly comprised a total of four hundred thousand contribution points.

They were accumulated throughout his life.

They can be claimed in ten installments.

The condition to claim each installment was to pass the Array Knowledge test given by the Knowledge Spirit Orb.

A total of ten tests.

If one truly inherits Zhang Zhiliang’s [Infinite Techinique], they can claim all four hundred thousand contribution points.

If you can’t even pass the first test, you can only gaze at this Mountain of Treasure but won’t be able to claim anything from it..
