Li Xingkong casually picked up a few documents and handed them to the system for analysis.
Such a vast knowledge base is comparable to that of the Primordial Lady Seeking the Dao.
Moreover, since this knowledge base is exclusive to the Era of Chaos, a large part of its content is related to killing and warfare.
Compared to the knowledge base of Li Xingkong's era, it's like one is for civilian use and the other for military use; their focuses are different, and naturally, their contents are also very different.
What Li Xingkong could most directly perceive was that he had only casually glanced at a few books and already seen dozens of rituals plotting to destroy the world and slaughter all living beings.
After reading just a few books, Li Xingkong was certain that compared to the stuff in this knowledge base, those evil cultivators outside were simply playing house.
While they were still researching petty methods like raising blood-feeding animals and refining souls, the research theories here had already begun experimenting with how to precisely annihilate all related living beings by starting with a unified will.
After all, evil cultivators are constantly on the run, always afraid of being discovered, so they don't have much time to do research. But the major powers in this Era of Chaos are a different story.
Destroying a country, annihilating a prefecture, and slaughtering everyone are all common occurrences among different races.
Moreover, in the Era of Chaos, there is no such thing as the old, weak, women, or children. Any alien race encountered is a warrior, and the methods used are naturally devoid of any mercy.
When it comes to pure killing speed, battlefield cultivators are definitely top-tier.
As the saying goes, if you want to fight crime, you must first be familiar with all the methods of crime.
Similarly, if one wants to follow the righteous path in this Primordial World, then one should understand the evil path better than the evil path does.
Although Li Xingkong was kind-hearted, knowledge doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. Since he was already here, he might as well accept everything.
Time flies when you're reading. Li Xingkong had only read a few books before nearly three years had passed.
His conceptual assessment is complete.
Li Xingkong's concept was assessed as Backbone Grade, slightly lower than the Wide-Area Grade.
However, this rating has little to do with the practicality of the concept; it is based on how much the concept can contribute to the overall formation.
Li Xingkong's Dao Evolution concept naturally doesn't reach the level of needing to cover the entire formation, but its defensive performance is also outstanding. It can be used to enhance the outer perimeter of the formation as one of its many protective measures.
In some respects, Dao Evolution's role in protecting the grand formation is even greater than it is in Li Xingkong's hands.
After all, Li Xingkong was just one person with limited experience. There were many concepts he had never seen or encountered before, making him easy to fall for.
For example, the Foolish Blindness's methods made Li Xingkong suffer a setback.
But this great formation is different. Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the concepts and insights of countless immortals are integrated into one. It can be said that with the support of so many people's concepts, the Dao Evolution power within this great formation can block all incoming conceptual attacks.
This is much more useful than purely defensive concepts like shields and sturds.
Under this Dao Evolution Domain, the entire interior of the great formation can achieve a state of true invulnerability to all laws.
Li Xingkong felt that joining this formation was absolutely the most suitable choice he had made.
Countless concepts flowed within the great array's bus, allowing Li Xingkong to explore their forms of existence and functions at any time. With the array's support, his Dao Evolution ability was constantly resisting various hidden attacks.
Although it was dominated by a large formation, Li Xingkong could still sense what type of attack it was defending against.
In the current situation, Li Xingkong doesn't even need to move; he only needs to soak in the cultivation pool, and his understanding of worldly concepts will increase dramatically.
Is this what it feels like to win without lifting a finger? Awesome.
It has been nearly 50 years since Li Xingkong joined the formation, and he has gradually come to understand the situation outside the formation.
The Jade Void army stopped here and did not advance, but waited quietly for the Spirit Clan army to assemble.
The choice of this location was also deliberate. If they went further forward, the army would easily be caught in a pincer attack by the Spirit Clan, while stopping here would only allow them to face the enemy head-on.
Those mountain cultivators who had settled here and had not yet evacuated were also captured one by one and thrown into the town prison while the army was organizing the surrounding area.
There were still no major battles in these 50 years. Occasionally, a few small scout legions would break into the formation, but they would all be swallowed up by the formation and not even a trace could be seen.
Li Xingkong decided to just go into seclusion here for a while.
Having obtained the Distortion concept I wanted so long ago, and knowing I won't be fighting anytime soon, I might as well devour it first.
With this plan in mind, Li Xingkong temporarily handed over control of his body to the system, letting it maintain the operation of the great formation in his place. Li Xingkong then directly unlocked the Concept Bead and swallowed the concept of the Rebuttal.
Rebuttal have virtually no known facts, and their connection to concepts is negligible, so Li Xingkong naturally doesn't need to bother refining them.
The crucial point between Dao Evolution and Distortion is only a small part of the Rebuttal concept. Li Xingkong's task is simply to refine that small part, letting the rest dissipate as it will.
He was not prepared to accept the concept of Distortion; Dao Evolution was related to his cultivation system, and this could not be taken lightly.
If the weight of Distortion concepts increases, then it's impossible to know where one's own Dao Evolution development will lead.
The relationships between concepts are very complex and cannot be simply understood as a plane. They are more like curves that occasionally intersect and spread throughout a multi-dimensional space.
It's like a super complicated intersection, where every car on the road has its own direction to go, and the point of conflict is like the traffic lights in the middle of the road.
Previously, the Weaver of Refutation controlled the lamp, so only his path was unobstructed, while everyone else's path was blocked. Now, control of this intersection has fallen into Li Xingkong's hands.
Li Xingkong only wants control of the traffic lights; he has no intention of going down the same path as the Rebuttal.
Finding a secluded platform for discussion, Li Xingkong sat cross-legged and began his seclusion.
Having easily seized the breakthrough point on the Rebuttal side, Li Xingkong has room for further progress in his understanding of the concept of Dao Evolution.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as Li Xingkong. After only a short extension, he discovered that he had encountered a new intersection in his cultivation of concepts.
Not all intersections can be captured by brute force.
Li Xingkong looked around and realized that this new intersection he had encountered was actually controlled by two Spirit Clan cultivators.
It seems that a major battle is inevitable.
If cultivation after reaching the Golden Immortal is like this, accompanied by countless struggles, Li Xingkong simply cannot imagine when he will be able to cultivate to the so-called Daluo.
It's fine if the concept is in the hands of outsiders, but if all the intersections of this concept are within the Jade Void Sect, then there's really no hope.
