Chapter 498: Xuan Tian locks up the Pantheon
Chapter 496 – Xuan Tian Locked Up the Pantheon
The order came from the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s Buzheng Hall, and was accompanied by a substitute island master’s order as well as detailed handover matters that could not be faked.
The explicit reason was because of the [Raid on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island] incident, the surviving institutional cultivators within the Cong Yun Sea nowadays, with Li Fan holding the highest position.
Zi Yun and Hong Xi, the two Goddess Immortal Monarchs could not return for some reason, so the acting island master rightfully fell on Li Fan’s head.
Li Fan, on the other hand, did not have the slightest joy in his heart of being hit by a pie falling from the sky.
After carefully reading the handover instructions again, he frowned.
Although the special deacon of the Martial Arts Hall was only an imaginary position, in terms of the grade of the position, it was indeed something that only YuanYing and above cultivation cultivators could hold.
The rank was not low.
There was no problem with that. However, in the vast Cong Yunhai, there must be quite a number of cultivators in the system of the same grade as him who were scattered everywhere and hadn’t been captured by the Five Elders Association.
Why was this “heavy responsibility” given to him, Li Fan?
He didn’t have any hidden backstage in this life.
Was it a test, a warning, or an appeasement?
Li Fan did not know.
However, since the order had already been issued, it was useless to think about it. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover!
A cold aura flashed in Li Fan’s eyes as he flew towards Cong Yunhai.
When he came to the edge of Shi Linzhou and approached the Cong Yunhai, he once again encountered the blockage of the invisible shield.
Li Fan took out a communication talisman and injected aura to stimulate it.
A “Wan” light shone out from above, shooting towards the shield in front of him.
A layer of ripples spread out, and Li Fan tried to stretch out his right hand. It felt as if there was a layer of invisible material attached to his arm, changing its shape as he continued to extend it forward.
In the end, it was like a layer of sticky bubbles that were pierced. Li Fan thought for a moment, so his entire body rushed towards the invisible shield.
In the next moment, Li Fan’s main body had already reentered the sea of Cong Yun.
According to the location recorded in the transaction instructions, Li Fan flew away at full speed, and after four days, he arrived at his destination.
A giant dust crossing boat with a very familiar appearance was quietly parked in the air.
On the deck, the figures of many black-clothed cultivators could be vaguely seen.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan flew towards the dust boat.
As if they had already known about Li Fan’s arrival, the black-clothed cultivators coming and going did not come forward to stop him.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan, come here!” The moment he stepped onto the deck, a voice came from inside the Dust Ferry Boat.
Li Fan walked towards the direction of the voice, while not moving to survey these black-clothed cultivators around him.
A familiar cold and austere aura.
It should be the group of people whose divine souls came from the [Era] and specialized in special affairs.
The predecessors of the [Celestial Magicians] who appeared after the establishment of the Xuan Net in the previous era.
Not wanting to cause trouble for the time being, Li Fan merely pretended to glance at them unintentionally before withdrawing his gaze and continuing to walk inside.
Not long after, he came to a room deep in the corridor and pushed the door in.
A white-haired young man was sitting in front of a long table with a grave expression on his face.
On the long table, many characters and images flashed rapidly.
It seemed to come with the function of preventing outsiders from prying, all of these that Li Fan saw were distorted and blurred.
“Island Master Li, you have also received the appointment letter, so I won’t repeat it here.”
The white-haired youth did not raise his head, his gaze did not leave the desktop, and said to himself, “I will mainly emphasize three points.”
“One, the reconstruction work must be completed within half a year.”
“Two, the budget for this project is limited, and you need to strictly control the overall material expenditure. If the actual cost exceeds the approval limit and delays the construction progress, you need to take responsibility. Of course, if you can complete the task on time, it will naturally be a great merit, and the reward is absolutely unavoidable!”
“The third and most important point ……”
Only after saying this did the white-haired youth raise his head and stare at Li Fan. Li Fan’s heart jumped, because he suddenly realized that this white-haired youth, his eyes were empty and black.
“In the Spirit Talisman Appointment Letter, there is no formal written instructions. Out of this house, I would never admit to having said that either. But, is what you must do. If there is a lapse ……”
The white-haired youth snorted coldly, flexing his fingers and tapping the desktop.
A stream of light flew out from the long table, heading straight for Li Fan.
Li Fan reached out to block it, and the moment the stream of light touched his body, it disappeared without a trace.
Some more information appeared in his mind at the same time.
“This is ……”
Li Fan frowned slightly.
“[Xuan Tian Locking Specter Formation] formation diagram.” The white-haired youth seemed to have seen Li Fan’s doubts and spoke out to explain.
“The Ten Thousand Immortal Island was moved away, and the [Tongyi Tunnel Entrance] at the bottom was exposed. You need to engrave the Xuan Tian Locking Specter Formation together in the foundation of the Immortal City while building the new Cong Yun Immortal City.”
“With the formation diagrams to guide you, there is no need for you to be proficient in formations, as long as you are not clueless. You being an ancient cultivator, this matter should not be a problem for you.” Not allowing Li Fan to refuse, the white-haired youth jumped the gun and said.
“How do you call yourself, fellow Daoist?” Li Fan frowned slightly and instead of answering, he asked in a voice first.
The white-haired youth gazed at Li Fan with his ethereal gaze for a while before he spat out, “First Scripture.”
Li Fan’s gaze condensed slightly.
This name, he had seen before.
Cultivating for three years, a mortal formed a jindan. Jindan beheads YuanYing and beats Transformation God.
Decades ago was the peak of the Transformation God, and faced with the opportunity to merge with the Dao within reach, he resolutely gave it up. Simply because that Heaven and Earth Spirit was too weak and did not meet his expectations.
There are various legends circulating amongst the cultivator community, Duke Jinglun.
His name was something that Li Fan could be said to have long admired. He didn’t expect to actually see him in person today.
However, Li Fan had also seen the world, and without changing his color or being humble, he arched his hand and said, “So it’s Duke Jinglun in person!”
“Although it is an order from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters Buzheng Hall, but let me go as what acting island master for no reason, and what Xuan Tian Locking Specter Formation …… I have to set up.”
“I’m sorry to follow your order!”
Li Fan said in a resolute tone.
The First Jinglun couldn’t help but frown.
Feeling the gradually heavy space around his body, Li Fan’s face was not the least bit different.
He continued, “This matter is really too strange, revealing an air of conspiracy everywhere. Who can guarantee that your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance won’t unload on you?”
The First Scribe couldn’t help but freeze at his words.
With a slight smile, he withdrew his own pressure.
“So you are worried about this ……”
“That is quite unnecessary.”
Lord Warp stood up and walked to the edge of the room.
As he did, the entire wall of the ship instantly became transparent.
It was as if they were standing in the clouds, and the vast sea of clumping clouds appeared in front of the two of them.
“Island Master Li is from the ancient times, so he may not know that since the Great Calamity descended, everywhere in the world, an existence called [Eerie] was born.”
The Warp Duke said slowly.
“And with a few of these places, they have appeared most frequently and intensively.”
