The Tiantong Hall is located in the central core area of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island. He was informed to go to the entrance of the area; there would be someone to guide him from there.
Li Fan was somewhat curious about these mysterious deaths. Therefore, he didnât delay and went straight towards the central core area.
Soon, the majestic buildings in the center of Ten Thousand Immortals Island were closely visible.
A glaring seven-colored shield, along with a moat, separated the core area from the residential area of the central Cave Mansion.
Li Fan stood on the bridge, not moving, waiting for someone to pick him up.
He perceptively noticed that as soon as he stepped on this bridge, the seven-colored fluctuating light from above had targeted him.
Li Fan was also brave and looked at the seven-colored light carefully.
It seemed to be a part of the Island Protection Array of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island but separate. It was even more powerful.
âI wonder which array technique this is,â Li Fan thought to himself.
Shortly after, a Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in a black and yellow striped robe hurried over.
He glanced at Li Fan once and confirmed his identity.
Then he didnât say much, only reminding Li Fan to closely follow him and not roam around.
Then he moved towards the building.
The killing intent from the seven-colored light faded, and Li Fan calmly followed behind him.
While walking, he looked around.
All the cultivators here were dressed in black and yellow robes, looking serious and hasty, seeming to be very busy.
Cultivators of all levels, from Refining Energy to Foundation Establishment, could be seen here.
âThis should be what they call âwithin the systemâ Li Fan thought to himself.
Council Hall, Medical Hall, Symbol Hall, Martial Arts Battle HallâŠ
They passed multiple buildings before finally arriving at the Tiantong Hall in the corner.
This place seemed quieter than others.
Occasionally they would meet a cultivator, whose cultivation level couldnât be discerned, closed-eyed and in deep thought as if predicting something.
The guide lead Li Fan into a room and then quietly exited.
The room was filled with the scent of incense, and a cultivator was staring at the map of the Misthaven Ocean with his back towards him.
When Li Fan looked closely, he saw the map densely marked with countless symbols.
There were blue winds, red crosses, black dotsâŠ
Moreover, all these symbols were moving and changing like living beings on the map.
âWhat is thisâŠ?â Li Fanâs heart stirred, and he scrutinized the map.
But he had only looked at it for a few moments when he suddenly felt dizzy, so he hastily averted his gaze and didnât dare to look anymore.
And so, Li Fan stood in the room for quite a while before the cultivator facing away from him turned around.
He was young, slightly above twenty, and looked like a scholar.
He seemed depleted, not looking very healthy.
After coughing a few times, he waved his hand, and dozens of miniature human shadows appeared in front of Li Fan.
âDo you recognize these people?â
Li Fan looked closely, concentrated his Divine Sense on one shadow.
âMao Fei, cultivator at the final stage of Energy Refining. Cause of death: Attacked by an Exotic Beast in the sea during an outing.â
Li Fan shifted to another person.
âQiao Guangyu, Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator. Cause of death: His consciousness went haywire while comprehending the laws of Heaven and
Earth, and he self-detonated.â
Li Fanâs eyes twitched, and he shifted to another person.
âLing Meng, Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator. Cause of death: Died at an ancient relic site while looking for opportunities.â
As he inspected these images one by one, Li Fanâs heart was startled.
Of course, he knew all these people.
They were precisely the group that had entered the Thatched Cottage back
then.
Initially, it seemed like a great opportunity to advance to a minor situation.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a deadly trap.
Paying the price of death wasnât immediately but in the near future.
Master, it was a poison indeed.
And, such a way of dyingâŠ
Li Fan was all too familiar with it.
Wasnât this Heavenâs Killing Intent?
However, why did accepting the Masterâs opportune time attract Heaven and Earthâs intent to kill?
Master, Celestial Doctor, Celestial Palace of Clouds and WatersâŠ
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Fanâs mind in an instant.
As he pondered, he remembered to nod and reply, âIndeed, I have met these people before.â
Then, Li Fan recounted the incident where the Green Bull Cart was pulled, and the lesson on the bamboo slips was given.
The weak scholar seemed to have known this fact long ago and showed little surprise.
Instead, he scanned Li Fan with interest and asked, âOpportunity was ahead, so many people in presence all entered. Why didnât you?â
Li Fan still brought out his previous set of arguments.
The weak scholar listened without expressing agreement or disagreement but didnât argue with Li Fan either.
He just gave a chuckle, âYou are indeed lucky.â
He turned his head to look at the images of cultivators who had died inexplicably.
He sighed, âIf heaven wants you to die, you must die.â
After a long while, he finally said to Li Fan, âYou can go back now. I know this incident has nothing to do with you, but as the only survivor, you still need to follow the necessary procedures. Thatâs why I called you here to inquire.â
Li Fan nodded, took another glance at the map on the wall, and left quietly.
Indistinctly, it seemed as if he could hear the scholarâs faint sigh from the room, âThereâs another case.â
Li Fan paused slightly and then resumed his pace. Coming out of Tiantong Hall, doubts arose in Li Fanâs mind. âAnother case? What does that mean?â
âDoes it refers to mysterious injuries or Heavenâs Killing Intent?â
âWith the invisible influence of the Immortal Sovereign, how can he remember
Li Fan thought of the numerous markers on that map.
âPerhaps, although one cannot remember specific events, one can confirm that the event indeed happened by observing its effects.â
âFor instance, a large number of cultivators from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals suddenly die at the same timeâŠâ
Li Fan walked along, deep in thought.
But his thoughts were interrupted by a noisy group of people up ahead.
All of these people were dressed in Black and Yellow Robes, looked young, and seemed naive to the ways of the world.
Their cultivation stages only reached the Initial Stage of Energy Refining, so it seemed they have only just stepped into cultivation.
They were looking up at the seven-colored radiance flowing in the sky, pointing and gesturing, excitedly discussing something.
The one leading them was older, with a long beard.
He was saying, âThis is the core area of every station of our Alliance of
Thousands of Immortals, equipped with the Seven -colored Falling Immortal Array. It is a profound improvement of an ancient array, with astonishing might. Even an average God Transforming cultivator, if carelessly entering the array, will die instantly.â
âThatâs so powerful!â
âMaster Gong, how long do we have to study before we can set up such a powerful Array?â
Master Gong laughed, âWell, you lot canât wait to fly when youâve just learned to walk.â
âLetâs seeâŠâ
âGenerally speaking, when youâve progressed to the Foundation Establishment Phase, you can attempt to construct the Island Protection Array.â
âDuring the Golden Core Stage, you can barely participate in maintaining the
Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.â âAs for this Seven-coloured Falling Immortal ArrayâŠâ Master Gong just smiled and did not answer..
