"Of course, if the only function was breaking formations, it wouldn't make me and my colleagues at the Formation Hall envious."
Just as the students were excitedly staring at the Dissociation Disks and discussing them, Ji Hongdao continued.
"The greatness of the Dissociation Disk lies in its growth."
After saying this, Ji Hongdao deliberately paused, waiting for the students' reaction. As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar among the crowd.
It was well known in the cultivation world that if a treasure was able to grow, its value would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.
Originally, as secondary bodies of the Tianxuan Mirror, the Dissociation Disks were already very precious.
If they could also grow, then their value would be immeasurable! The students stared eagerly at Ji Hongdao, waiting for his explanation.
Seeing that he had whetted everybody's appetite, Ji Hongdao stopped teasing and said, "As Formation Masters, we all have a dream in our hearts to create our own perfect formations. The Dissociation Disks can help us achieve that."
"Every time we break a formation, the Dissociation Disks will absorb and store the formation data within themselves."
"Based on our research and observations, afterwards, the Dissociation Disks will spontaneously deduce the absorbed formations, attempting to repair the loopholes used in the previous breaking process."
"When the flaws are repaired, a brand new formation is born."
"Then, the Dissociation Disks will attempt to break this new formation again. They will then repeat this cycle of breaking, improving, and breaking again."
"In the hands of an ordinary Formation Master, it often takes several years, or even more than a decade, to optimize a formation once."
"With these Dissociation Disks, several optimizations can be achieved in just one year. Of course, this efficiency depends on the difficulty of the formations being broken."
"If it's a formation of the level of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation, then the efficiency of optimizations will naturally be slower."
"However, even so, these Dissociation Disks are more efficient than all of us combined."
Ji Hongdao exclaimed, not the least bit resentful of being surpassed by a spiritual treasure. Unable to resist, he touched the treasure in his hand again and continued, "The more formation data the Dissociation Disks absorb, the stronger their breaking ability becomes. Similarly, their deduction and optimization abilities become even stronger."
"I can't imagine what level they will grow to in the future."
"It is said that our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's greatest treasure, the Tianxuan Mirror, was just an ordinary mirror at first."
"It was only after witnessing the Immortal Ancestor's teachings and gaining self-awareness that it gradually evolved over thousands of years into the miraculous state it is today."
"So, who knows, perhaps these Dissociation Disks could evolve into a second Tianxuan Mirror." With this statement, all the students held their breath.
There was no way that anyone under the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance didn't know about the strength and value of the Tianxuan Mirror. Just the thought of possibly owning a treasure comparable to the Tianxuan Mirror in the future made everyone's breathing become rapid.
"Master Ji, don't tease us anymore, please announce the results!"
Speaking was a Golden Core cultivator named Qi Chengcheng. This person ranked at the top in every assessment before.
He had absolute confidence in his performance and believed that out of these nine Dissociation Disks, one would surely be his. That's why he couldn't wait and urged Ji Hongdao. Li Fan, on the other hand, savored Ji Hongdao's words carefully, sensing something strange.
Certainly, this Disintegration Disk was indeed an extraordinary treasure.
If Ji Hongdao didn't exaggerate, it was basically what Zhang Zhiliang expected, an excellent replacement for the Tianxuan Mirror as the core of the Infinite Formation.
Li Fan also admitted that he was impressed. However, Ji Hongdao's was a bit suspicious.
If he had said such things at the beginning of the training as motivation, it would have been reasonable.
But now that the final assessment was over and the results were already set, logically speaking, the ownership of the nine Dissociation Disks had already been determined. What was Ji Hongdao's intention in saying such provocative words now?
Even suggesting that they could evolve into a second Tianxuan Mirror.
If Li Fan didn't already know that the Tianxuan Mirror was likely related to the ancient treasure of the Xuantian Sect, the Xuantian Mirror, he would have almost believed Ji Hongdao's nonsense.
As Li Fan expected, after a slight smile, Ji Hongdao's revealed the twist. He gently waved his hand, and a golden list appeared in the sky.
On the golden list, from top to bottom, the names of every student were written according to their rankings. And the top nine emitted a faint purple-golden brilliance, which was extremely conspicuous.
As the golden list was revealed, Ji Hongdao also said, "I had promised that these nine Dissociation Disks would be awarded as prizes to the top performers of this assessment."
"This matter was personally approved by the headquarters of the Formation Hall, so I naturally won't go back on my word."
"However..."
"Things have changed."
At this point, Ji Hongdao's face showed a hint of helplessness. Everyone looked at each other, feeling a sense of unease.
"Initially, there were indeed nine Dissociation Disks. Even now, the quantity remains the same. However, just yesterday, we suddenly discovered that among these nine Dissociation Disks, eight of them have dimmed slightly."
"On the other hand, the remaining one, instead of weakening, has grown stronger."
"Although the degree of this change was extremely subtle, we still noticed it."
"Secondary bodies of the Tianxuan Mirror often have hidden characteristics which only manifest at certain times. So, we didn't realize the true mystery of these Dissociation Disks before..."
"We made a mistake in this matter," Ji Hongdao sighed, his face reddening. However, the students understood the implication of Ji Hongdao's words.
"Master Ji, are you implying that these nine Dissociation Disks will devour each other?" Qi Chengcheng couldn't help but ask.
Ji Hongdao nodded, "After noticing the anomaly and performing a careful study, we discovered that what appears to be nine Dissociation Disks is actually one entity."
"Whenever one of them becomes more powerful, it will seize the power from the other parts to strengthen itself."
"And the weaker ones, if they stay still and don't catch up, will be continuously drained of their power, becoming weaker and weaker until they disappear."
"This is what they call the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker."
"In the end, in the continuous competition among the nine Dissociation Disks, only one will survive."
"And it will be the biggest winner, gathering the power of all nine Dissociation Disks."
"The true Disintegration Disk."
"Of course, if the only function was breaking formations, it wouldn't make me and my colleagues at the Formation Hall envious."
Just as the students were excitedly staring at the Dissociation Disks and discussing them, Ji Hongdao continued.
