Chapter 496 Xuantian Locks You Up
The order came from the headquarters of the Wanxian League's Buzhengtang, and it included an order for acting as the island master and detailed handover matters, which could not be false.
The apparent reason was that because of the [Raid on Wanxian Island] incident, among the surviving cultivators in the system in Congyun Sea, Li Fan had the highest position.
The two immortal kings, Ziyun and Hongxi, were unable to return for some reason, so the position of acting island master naturally fell on Li Fan.
Li Fan did not feel the slightest bit of joy at having a pie in his hand fall from the sky.
After reading the handover instructions carefully again, his brows furrowed.
Although the special deacon of the Martial Arts Hall is only a nominal position, in terms of the rank of the position, it is indeed only a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage or above who can hold the position.
The grade is not low.
There is no problem with this. However, in such a vast sea of clouds, there must be many cultivators of the same level as him who are scattered all over the place and have not been abducted by the Five Elders.
Why was this "important task" given to Li Fan?
He doesn't have any hidden background in this life.
Is it a test, a warning, or a comfort?
Li Fan didn't know.
But since the order has been issued, it is useless to think too much.
A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes, and he flew towards Cong Yunhai.
When they arrived at the edge of Shilinzhou and approached Congyunhai, they were once again blocked by the invisible shield.
Li Fan took out the communication talisman and injected spiritual energy into it to stimulate it.
A ray of light in the shape of the word "wan" shone from above and shot towards the protective shield in front.
A layer of ripples spread out, and Li Fan tried to stretch out his right hand. He felt as if there was a layer of invisible substance attached to his arm, changing shape as he continued to stretch forward.
Finally, it was like a sticky bubble that was popped. Li Fan thought about it, and then rushed towards the invisible shield.
The next moment, Li Fan himself had returned to the sea of clouds.
According to the location recorded in the transaction instructions, Li Fan flew at full speed and arrived at the destination four days later.
A giant, familiar-looking boat was quietly suspended in the air.
On the deck, one can vaguely see many black-robed monks.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Fan flew towards the Duchen Boat.
As if they had known of Li Fan's arrival, the black-robed monks passing by did not step forward to stop him.
"Daoyou Li Fan, come here!" The moment he stepped onto the deck, a voice came from inside the Duchen Boat.
Li Fan walked towards the direction of the sound, looking at the black-robed monks around him calmly.
Familiar with the cold and murderous atmosphere.
They should be the group of people whose spirits came from the [era] and who specialize in handling special affairs.
The predecessors of the [Heavenly Magicians] who appeared after the establishment of Xuanwang in the previous life.
Not wanting to cause trouble for the time being, Li Fan just pretended to glance at it unintentionally, then retracted his gaze and continued walking inside.
Soon, he arrived at a room at the end of the corridor and pushed the door open.
A white-haired young man was sitting in front of a long table with a serious expression.
Many characters and images flashed quickly on the long table.
It seemed to have a built-in function to prevent outsiders from spying. Everything Li Fan saw was distorted and blurred.
"Island Master Li, you have also received the appointment letter, so I will not elaborate here."
The white-haired young man did not raise his head, his eyes did not leave the table, and he spoke to himself: "I mainly emphasize three points."
"First, the reconstruction work must be completed within six months."
"Second, the budget for this project is limited, so 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 bear the corresponding responsibility. Of course, if you can complete the task on time, it will naturally be a great achievement, and rewards will definitely be given!"
"The third point, and the most important one..."
Having said this, the white-haired young man raised his head and stared at Li Fan.
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat, because he suddenly discovered that the white-haired young man's eyes were empty and dark.
"There is no official written statement in the talisman appointment letter. I will never admit that I said this once I leave this house. But you have to do it. If anything goes wrong..."
The white-haired young man snorted coldly and tapped the table with his fingers.
A stream of light flew out from the long table and headed straight for Li Fan.
Li Fan stretched out his hand to block it, and the moment the light touched his body, it disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, some more information appeared in my mind.
"This is……"
Li Fan frowned slightly.
"The diagram of the [Xuantian Locking Array]." The white-haired young man seemed to see Li Fan's confusion and explained.
"The Wanxian Island has been moved, and the [Entrance to the Tunnel] at the bottom has also been exposed. You need to engrave the Xuantian Locking Tunnel into the foundation of the fairy city while building the new Congyun Fairy City."
"With the guidance of the formation diagram, you don't need to be proficient in the formation, as long as you know something about it. As an ancient cultivator, this should not be a problem for you." Without giving Li Fan a chance to refuse, the white-haired young man spoke first.
"What is your name, fellow Daoist?" Li Fan frowned slightly, and instead of answering, he asked first.
The white-haired young man stared at Li Fan with his deep eyes, and then said, "First Principle."
Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had seen this name before.
After three years of practice, a mortal will form a golden elixir. The golden elixir will kill the Yuanying and defeat the Shen.
He was at the peak of the Spiritualization Stage several decades ago, but when faced with a chance to merge with the Dao, he resolutely gave it up because the Heaven and Earth Spirit was too weak and did not meet his expectations.
Master Jinglun, who left many legends among the monks.
Li Fan had long heard of his name, but he never expected to meet him in person today.
However, Li Fan had also seen a lot of things, so he remained calm and said, "It turns out that it is Master Jinglun in person!"
"Although this is an order from the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it is unclear why I have to be the acting island master and set up the Xuantian Locking Array..."
"I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order!"
Li Fan said in a firm tone.
Diyi Jinglun couldn't help but frown.
Although Li Fan felt the space around his body gradually getting heavier, there was no expression on his face.
He continued, "This matter is really too strange, and it reveals a conspiracy everywhere. Who can guarantee that you, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, will not abandon the donkey after it has done its work?"
Upon hearing this, Diyi Jinglun was stunned.
He smiled slightly and put away his own pressure.
"So that's what you're worried about..."
"That's not necessary."
Master Jinglun stood up and walked to the side of the room.
As he moved, the entire ship's wall instantly became transparent.
As if standing on the clouds, a vast sea of clouds appeared before them.
"Island Master Li comes from ancient times, and he may not know that since the great catastrophe, existences called [weird] have appeared in various parts of the world."
Master Jinglun said slowly.
"And in a few places, the occurrences are most frequent and intensive."
