This formation model... why does this formation model look so much like a miniature version of the Nine Provinces Chaotic Soul Formation that I saw in the Illusionary Realm's notes before?
What kind of person would choose the Nine Provinces Chaotic Soul Array as the final challenge in the array formation assessment? It certainly wouldn't be someone from the [Newcomer] organization who wants to set up the array now. Judging from this teaching-like posture, it seems more like a reminder.
Could it be that the most talented disciple should be taught how to deal with the Nine Provinces Chaotic Soul Array?
Who exactly created this Mysterious Tower?
"Senior Brother..."
Lu Shenzhi understood her meaning without her saying it all.
"I was too pressed for time back then. I passed the eighth level just before the fifteen-day mark, and I was sent out before I even saw the formation of the final level. So I don't know if it was the same formation ten years ago. I also don't know if everyone who entered this level received a model of the Nine Provinces Chaotic Soul Formation."
Shi Xuan nodded, "Let's take a look first."
It's clear that this model has tried its best to recreate the formation, but compared to what Shi Xuan knows, it seems to have more and more information.
The positions of the visible and invisible eyes were clearly marked, but a few pieces were missing from the set up formation and placed on a table to the side. It seemed that the test would be to assess understanding of the rules for arranging these formation points, and then the chess pieces on the table would be placed back into their original positions.
The position of this "eye" is not fixed; it also depends on how the person setting up the formation calculates the orientation.
Shi Xuan stared at the array model for a long time, mentally rehearsing the arrangement of the array's key points.
Lu Shenzhi said, "Make sure you remember them first. If you don't have enough time here, you can continue your research after you leave. Everything has its own rules, so there's no need to rush."
Shi Xuan did not reply. She remained motionless, seemingly engrossed in studying the formation.
This tendency to be single-minded has returned; I become engrossed in thought and lose myself in my own world.
...
When she came to her senses again, three days had passed.
Shi Xuan glanced at Lu Shenzhi and said quietly, "I think I know their arrangement rules now."
"Oh?" Lu Shenzhi exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of rules?"
For the past three days, he has been constantly observing these array points, but they are too complicated, and he feels completely clueless.
Shi Xuandao said: "The Big Dipper has seven stars, with forty-nine dark eyes to set off ninety-nine bright eyes, arranged according to the Big Dipper's path of movement in the four seasons."
“But…” Lu Shenzhi hesitated for a moment and said, “I have also deduced according to the trajectory of the Big Dipper, but it seems to be wrong.”
“It’s reverse order,” Shi Xuan said. “Disordered souls and resurrected beings go against the natural order of Yin and Yang and all things, so their trajectories are naturally opposite to the normal laws.”
“How could I not have thought of that?” Lu Shenzhi patted his non-existent forehead, then examined the model again and re-derived it according to Shi Xuan’s instructions. Sure enough, it was the reverse route of Beidou.
Shi Xuan shifted his gaze back to the model and said, "In this way, after the Six Sects Grand Competition, we can use the locations of the array points we have already discovered to deduce where the other points are."
Lu Shenzhi picked up where she left off, saying, "This time, their plan will definitely not succeed!"
Shi Xuan nodded and placed the scattered chess pieces back into their original positions according to her deduction. Sure enough, the array plate lit up slightly, emitting a faint glow. The model was complete. Shi Xuan had completed the ninth test. She had passed!
Outside the Xuanji Tower, the elders and children of the six sects were all staring intently at the names on the outer wall of the tower. When Xuan broke through the eighth floor and reached the ninth floor, her name was already at the top of the list, surpassing Chen Qi, who was still struggling to break through the formation on the eighth floor.
But many people still held onto hope. They had never heard of anyone clearing the final level of the Mysterious Tower. What if, what if Shi Xuan could clear it?
Do you think my goddess can reach the top of the tower?
"I don't know if your goddess can get through, but I do know that since the tower was built, no one has ever gotten through it."
"Stop dreaming. If she manages to get through this tower, I'll eat my sword..."
As soon as the disciple finished speaking, a burst of golden light shone on the outer wall of the Xuanji Pagoda, and Shi Xuan's name was changed from silver-white to gold-edged.
Everyone was astonished by this scene, watching as Shi Xuan's name leaped from the ninth floor and stood at the top of the tower.
A moment later, the people around the disciple who had said he wanted to eat the sword all turned to look at him, and unanimously showed expressions of watching a good show. They wanted to see how a living person swallowed a sword.
The disciple who had made the boastful statement awkwardly touched his nose, shrank his neck, and remained silent.
Although he would inevitably be teased later, everyone's attention was focused on Shi Xuan, who had just passed through the Xuanji Tower, so they let him off the hook for the time being.
The disciple breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he couldn't say such things carelessly in the future, especially about Shi Xuan, otherwise he would be easily embarrassed on the spot!
After Shi Xuan passed the level, he was not immediately teleported out, but entered a separate space. There was only a table with two items placed side by side on it: an array plate and a talisman pen.
So, this is the reward for completing the game?
Shi Xuan asked Lu Shenzhi in his divine sense, "Senior Brother, when you passed the eighth level and won first place in the array competition, did you receive this reward?"
“No,” Lu Shenzhi replied.
It seems this is a reward unique to the Tower of Triumph.
The array plate looked very ancient, with two seal characters written on it: Feng Xuan. However, the talisman brush shone with a golden light, seemingly from a different era than the array plate, and had the two characters "Ming Shi" written on it.
Should we give her both, or choose one?
She already had the Lone Star Array Plate, and the golden light of the talisman pen attracted her. Since she didn't have a suitable talisman pen, she took it first.
After acquiring the talisman brush, the golden light dimmed slightly. It felt very light in my hand, and the texture was exceptionally good. It was actually an eighth-tier talisman brush!
Shi Xuan happily put it away. This talisman pen was of the same grade as her Lone Star Array Plate. The Mysterious Tower was quite generous.
Just as I was thinking how generous they were, the remaining array plate was put away, as if choosing a talisman pen meant you couldn't choose an array plate anymore.
This is outrageous! How could we let him get away with something we've already got?
Shi Xuan snorted and said, "You have such a big tower, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"
As he spoke, he expanded the scope of the myriad things that grow and accelerated their operation.
This is already a blatant threat!
The Mystery Tower has never suffered such injustice. Everyone who has entered before has respected and protected it. How could anyone resort to violence at the slightest disagreement! And didn't we already give her a reward?
But Shi Xuanzhen has made her move, and this is no joke. Many who haven't given up are still inside the tower trying to break the formation...
The Mysterious Tower desperately wanted to throw her out, but she was the first person to clear the level since the tower opened, and she even dared to threaten it. If it dealt with her harshly, what if she destroyed it after she got out?!
