Chapter 293: Tianyu Province's People
🕑 Added 2024-02-27 18:56:49 +0000 UTCAdhering to the principle of absolute efficiency, Li Fan's Dao Transformation Stone in his sea of consciousness operated at full capacity, and the multi-threaded mode was reactivated.
On the surface, it seemed like Li Fan was not practicing cultivation.
In reality, he had long divided his mind into studying formations, reading through the "Heavenly Doctor's Immortal Sutra," accumulating cultivation base for his Karmic Bodies, and so on...
Doing many things at once, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
...
Holding the silver token in his hand and playing with it, Li Fan's consciousness entered it, and many pieces of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
Its name was the "Huan Yu Token," a tool that was created together with this Huan Yu Courtyard.
In addition to basic functions such as communication and storage, its greatest use was to manipulate the residences in the courtyard.
The residences in the courtyard were divided into three different grades: upper, middle, and lower.
Different grades of treatment corresponded to different grades of residences.
What Li Fan had received belonged to the upper grade.
"It should be based on the results of the previous test," Li Fan thought to himself.
Putting away the token, Li Fan opened the Tianxuan Mirror.
He checked the information on recent events.
In addition to some major events that affected the entire Xuanhuang Realm, there was more information about hotspots in the surrounding areas.
Both the density of information and the number of people exchanging it far exceeded those in the Cong Yun Sea.
This made Li Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of "prosperity."
His spiritual consciousness swept through the various pieces of information.
"The remnant of the Chaoyuan Sect has reappeared, and this time, even Soul Transformation cultivators have perished inside. It's better for fellow Daoists not to take any risks!"
"Immortal Sage Jicheng has resigned from the position of Supreme Commander of the Garrison Court. It is rumored that he was unfortunate enough to be hit by evil spells from the Five Elders Association's infiltrated Dao Integration cultivators previously during the trap prepared for them. His lifespan has greatly decreased, and he is unable to manage the overall situation anymore."
"In front of the Mortal Transcendence Wall in Tianyun Province, another cultivator has achieved enlightenment this year. He reached the realm of the Five Law Golden Core!"
"Wu Zhi'er has been recently wandering near Tianquan Province. Fellow Daoists, be cautious!"
"The old fisherman appeared in Xiaoxiang City, Tianchu Province, yesterday. It is expected that he will stay for about seven days. Those seeking opportunities should hurry!"
...
"The old fisherman..." Li Fan's face showed interest as he clicked on it.
It turned out that this old fisherman was a crazy cultivator
Dressed as a fisherman, it was unknown what cultivation level he was at.
He kept muttering to himself, saying that he couldn't find his things.
His whereabouts were erratic, and there were records of his appearance in various provinces.
The so-called opportunity was to try one's luck.
Show the old fisherman your own items and see if they are the ones he lost.
Generally, the old fisherman would shake his head repeatedly, saying that these were not his things.
However, occasionally, he would also be interested in certain items and propose an exchange.
The old fisherman was generous in his actions, and the value of the techniques and treasures he brought out was almost always far superior to what the cultivators offered.
So, many cultivators wanted to bring some unknown items and take a chance.
Of course, there were also foolish cultivators who had the idea of forcibly robbing him.
However, anyone who did so did not survive.
"Quite interesting..."
"Unfortunately, once you enter this Huan Yu Courtyard, you cannot leave until the closed training ends. Otherwise, you could go out and join in the fun."
As he looked at this information, Li Fan couldn't help but feel regretful.
...
After several days of cultivation in the courtyard, Li Fan finally received a message from the Huan Yu Token.
The personnel had all arrived, and formal training would begin tomorrow.
At the same time, a set of white clothes and a shiny golden sphere appeared in the Huan Yu Token.
The sphere was made of an unknown material and was extremely hard to the touch.
However, spiritual consciousness couldn't penetrate it.
Upon careful observation, golden light flowed inside the sphere, as if some kind of liquid existed within.
Li Fan changed into the white clothes and waited quietly for tomorrow.
The next day, ripples appeared on the Huan Yu Token, followed by a burst of light.
Wrapped in the silver light, Li Fan arrived on a vast plain.
In the sky, there were unexpectedly over a thousand people wearing the same clothes.
"According to what Zhang Zhiliang said before, there are three spots available for the Cong Yun Sea."
"Then in the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, there are over three hundred provinces?"
"No, perhaps the quotas for some provinces are several times more than those in the Cong Yun Sea."
"But even so, it also shows how vast the Xuanhuang Realm is."
While Li Fan was pondering, the white-robed Ji Hongdao, whom he had seen before, quietly appeared above the crowd.
He scanned the crowd and said loudly, "I'm sure you all already know the purpose of this training."
"It's to accelerate the construction of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation within our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance so that all enemies of the Five Elders Association will have nowhere to hide before us."
"You must have heard the name Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation countless times. But there are probably not many who have truly seen it."
"Today, first of all, I will let you all observe it."
With Ji Hongdao's words, images of a mirror suddenly flashed above everyone's heads.
Then, three towering beams of light descended from the sky, locking onto three different positions on the plain below.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned at first, then focused their minds and sensed towards the positions locked by the beams of light.
Li Fan furrowed his brows slightly because no matter how he sensed, there was nothing there.
Looking at the expressions of those around him, almost all of them were the same.
At this moment, Ji Hongdao spoke again, "Isn't it surprising? Clearly, there's nothing there in our perception, but the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation still marks it..."
His voice suddenly rose, "This is the Five Elders Association's 'Dao Self Unity' stealth technique. It is precisely by relying on this technique that they can repeatedly trespass into our territory as if casually strolling."
"But now, with the birth of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation, this is a thing of the past!"
Ji Hongdao lightly pointed, and the three beams of light suddenly became brighter.
The air distorted for a moment, and in the locked positions, three figures appeared, each of them looking disheveled and bound by shackles.
These three cultivators glared at Li Fan and the others in the sky with resentment.
But they couldn't move or speak.
They could only become teaching materials for the demonstration.
"The basic principle of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation is the 'Soul Contract' every Five Elders Association cultivator signs..."
Ji Hongdao explained to the talented formation students from various provinces present.
To demonstrate the uniqueness of the Five Elders Association's cultivators' souls, he even used a secret method to forcibly extract the soul of one of them.
The beams of light in the sky followed the faint golden light of the soul as it moved along.
The extraction of the soul required a torturous pain that was difficult to describe in words.
Many young cultivators showed signs of intolerance when they saw this scene.
Ji Hongdao sneered without saying a word, only keeping their reactions in mind.
...
Time passed slowly during the lecture.
After explaining the basic structure of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation, Ji Hongdao continued, "The key to building the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation is to construct a formation core that can distinguish the differences in souls."
