Chapter 323: Dagger Appears After the Plan Fails

"Since the birth of the nine Dissipation Discs, except for taking one to study its characteristics, the rest have always been in a sealed state."

"Their strengths are in an absolute state of balance, so they have been peacefully coexisting."

"But not long ago, I thought that these treasures would be given to you juniors in the future, and I wouldn't be able to explore them anymore."

"On a whim, I applied to take one for a closer look."

"I didn't expect that I was wrong, and that's when I discovered its true mystery in advance."

Ji Hongdao felt a bit emotional.

As Ji Hongdao slowly explained the ins and outs of the matter, most of the cultivators present had no particularly special reaction.

At most, like Li Fan, they marveled at the magical nature of this world, where even magical treasures had to be nurtured.

Because the Dissipation Discs were originally rewards for the top performers, it was not their turn.

However, the faces of the cultivators whose names were shining brightly on the golden list were not so good.

Anyone who has a treasure in hand that could disappear at any moment would undoubtedly feel uncomfortable.

Accustomed to marveling at the wonders of the Dissipation Discs, they could only helplessly watch them fail in competition and gradually disappear from their hands.

Just thinking about it felt incredibly miserable.

If it really ended up like this, it would have been better not to have it from the beginning.

Otherwise, it would undoubtedly become a demon in their hearts, accompanying them throughout their lives, extremely difficult to eliminate.

But from another perspective, the top nine on the list were all the pride of the heavens.

Each had their own pride, and expecting them not to fight and give up directly was impossible.

"No wonder Ji Hongdao showed that expression. The unexpected deaths of more than ten people, including Dantai Tao, were already a painful loss for the Formation Strategy Hall."

"And these top nine cultivators, each outstanding, are all good seedlings. Losing any one of them is hard to accept."

"In the competition of the nine discs, the winner takes all. As for the other eight losers, it's naturally difficult to avoid being affected, and it's even possible that they will decline from now on."

"For the Wanxian League, the greatest use of our group of students is to build the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation."

"Even if the winner may become a true master of formations, from the perspective of the Wanxian League, we suddenly lost eight high-end laborers."

"In this world, we are determined to build the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation. Naturally, we won't allow such a thing to happen."

Li Fan's thoughts quickly changed, and in an instant, he understood the whole story.

Sure enough, at this moment, Ji Hongdao continued, "You are all indispensable talents for the Wanxian League. Every loss is a huge blow that we cannot afford. We will naturally not allow such self-inflicted harm."

"Therefore, after careful discussion, we have decided to change the prizes for this assessment."

"Instead of the Dissipation Discs, they will be replaced with the specially crafted 'Destruction Formation Jade Disk' that was previously only equipped for formation masters above the Nascent Soul stage."

Ji Hongdao spoke a lot, but it didn't stir up much excitement.

After all, even though the Dissipation Discs were only suitable for Nascent Soul stage formation masters, how could they be compared to the secondary body of the Tianxuan Mirror?

Ji Hongdao continued, "The prize agreement for this time was our mistake in our work. To make up for it, we have also decided to increase the reward quota for the 'Destruction Formation Jade Disk' from the top nine to the top one hundred."

With these words, the crowd finally began to stir.

After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch, so it was a bit exciting for a prize to fall from the sky for no reason.

Li Fan also glanced at the golden list in the sky.

Exactly the one hundredth place.

His results were somewhat unexpected, better than he had anticipated.

"It seems that the slight movement of that Formation Pivot has had the miraculous effect of turning decay into a miracle." Li Fan thought to himself.

However, Li Fan quickly calmed his emotions after a slight surprise and focused on Ji Hongdao in the sky.

He must have more important things to explain.

And that was the true heavyweight topic for today.

Otherwise, no one knew the real prize was the Dissipation Disc.

Discovering a problem with the prize could be directly announced as a replacement.

Why go through so many twists and turns today, constantly stirring up emotions?

Li Fan looked at the Dissipation Disc with a calm attitude, allowing him to analyze Ji Hongdao's intentions calmly, as if he were an outsider.

Sure enough, as Li Fan expected.

After the crowd gradually calmed down, he finally announced, "As for the nine Dissipation Discs..."

Pausing for a moment, attracting the attention of the students, Ji Hongdao slowly continued, "We have decided to use special means to directly catalyze their competitive devouring process."

"Within ten years, cultivate the final and only Dissipation Disc."

"And this true Dissipation Disc will not be withdrawn."

"Its ownership still belongs to you."

Like thunder, shocking those who were still a bit unhappy, including Qi Chengcheng and others. Greed once again flashed in their eyes.

"I believe everyone is clear. The reason why such a precious treasure as the Dissipation Disc was offered as a reward for this ordinary assessment is because the alliance attaches great importance to the construction of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation."

"Although there have been some small mistakes in the process, our original intention has not changed!"

Ji Hongdao's tone became heavier, and he said with a serious face, "To re-emphasize the alliance's determination."

"To inspire everyone to strive for excellence."

"After our application and approval from the headquarters, the final winner of the Nine Discs Competition will be rewarded as the most contributing formation master in the popularization plan of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation!"

Li Fan squinted his eyes at the words.

Inhaling a breath of cold air, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "What a move!"

"Today's twists and turns, several reversals, are all for this, right?"

"Compared to directly announcing this result, the temptation is much stronger after several ups and downs."

"Are they afraid that these students won't go all out for this?"

Li Fan could almost foresee that, for this Dissipation Disc that "has the hope of becoming the next Tianxuan Mirror," these formation masters would go all out in the upcoming construction boom.

In a short while, each of them might become an existence more impressive than cattle and horses.

"It seems that the widespread popularity of Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation in this world will definitely be much faster than I imagined."

"I don't have much time left..."

"However, why do I always have a feeling? What is the urgency of the Wanxian League for this matter?"

"The Wanxian League has been established for thousands of years, and its rule is as solid as a rock."

"The Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation is just a step forward. Slowly plotting it is enough, and there is no need to use so many means."

"What exactly are they in a hurry for?"

Li Fan fell into contemplation for a moment.
