Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldnât help but wonder: âI have worked on a mission with Jiang Zhengji before. If I am not mistaken, both of them merely have a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivation. How could they escape the pursuit of a Nascent Soul and various Golden Core cultivators?â
Zhang Zhiliang squinted his eyes and slowly explained: âAlthough they merely have a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, they communicate telepathically and work flawlessly together. They are well-versed in the art of combined strikes.â
âTheir Golden Core Dharma Forms are Floating White Snow and Frost Red Plum.â
âWhen they join forces, they can form a âLiuli Worldâ akin to a Nascent Soul Domain.â
âEven ordinary Nascent Soul Monks find it hard to compete with them.â
Li Fan thought back to the scenario when he was slaughtering the Red Exotic Beast on the island and nodded in acknowledgment.
Seemingly recalling something, a smile appeared on Zhang Zhiliangâs face: âOnly two insignificant Golden Core Cultivators managed to cause a ruckus in the heartland and then escape unscathed. The Five Elders Organization must be humiliated and seeking revenge.â
âBut they dare not assume responsibility for initiating a war by sending out
God Transforming cultivators.â
âThey could only secretly send a Nascent Soul Monk to rampage on Haitong Island within the Misthaven Ocean.â âHumph, the Five Elders Organization is only capable of so much.â
Zhang Zhiliang disdainfully commented.
After saying this, his face turned serious: âLetâs go. Even though their behavior was petty, the damage is not insignificant due to the action of a Nascent Soul Monk on Haitong Island.â
âThe structure of the Island Protection Array has been completely destroyed, even the Teleportation Array is rendered useless. We shall have to teleport to the adjacent Youmen Island and fly there.â
Under the lead of Zhang Zhiliang, it took nearly a whole day for Li Fan and others to finally arrive near Haitong Island.
The Island Guard had already received the news and was waiting for their arrival.
âWe pay our respects to Master Zhang!â
Perhaps it was due to its proximity to the territory of the Five Elders Organization, surprisingly, this island was actually guarded by a Golden Core Cultivator.
The guard was a burly man. However, his face was pale, seemingly heavily injured.
âThis is Pei Tuo, the Island Guard of Haitong Island.â Zhang Zhiliang introduced to Li Fan and the others.
âMonk Pei Tuo is already at the Perfect Golden Core Realm and is just a step away from stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm. If it werenât for Pei Tuoâs determination to fight with all his might and trigger the Island Protection Array for defense, I fear that Haitong Island would have been reduced to ruins in the attack of the Nascent Soul Monk from the Five Elders Organization.â
Pei Tuo waved his hand somewhat sheepishly: âIâm not worthy of such praise, Master.â
Zhang Zhiliang laughed heartily and didnât insist on continuing the topic.
âMonk Pei Tuo, have the mortals on the island been evacuated?â He asked instead.
Pei Tuo nodded in affirmation: âThey have been relocated to other islands. You can start the rebuilding work whenever you wish, Master.â
Zhang Zhiliang glanced at the island beneath them and stated after a moment: âThe damage is worse than I imagined. Rather than slowly repairing it, it would be better to rebuild it.â
Saying so, he didnât seem to make any significant actions.
However, unexpectedly the sky above Tonghai Island suddenly darkened.
A thick cloud seemed to have come out of nowhere, and a huge eye appeared from the cloud.
It stared straight down at Tonghai Island.
Although he was not the direct target of the stare, Li Fan felt his spiritual energy stagnate momentarily and had a difficult time moving it just by being within the vision of this giant eye.
He was overwhelmed with a sense of panic as if all his secrets had been seen through.
Fortunately, Li Fanâs mentality wasnât ordinary and he had faced direct confrontations with exceptional powers like the Celestial Doctor.
Compared to that, the pressure from the Nascent Soul realm seemed insignificant.
Li Fan quickly regained his composure.
Nevertheless, to avoid attracting attention, he pretended to shiver in fear like the other Array Repair Staff.
Thankfully, the giant eye in the sky didnât linger for long.
A silver light flashed over the surface of Tonghai Island.
In Li Fanâs perception, the remnants of the array structure on the island vanished within this silver light.
In an instant, there were no traces ot the Array left on Haitong Island.
The sky returned to its serene state, and a hint of admiration twinkled in Pei Tuoâs eyes, saying: âThe power of Master Zhangâs âHeavenâs Eye Cave Domainâ is becoming increasingly extraordinary.â
For the first time, Li Fan witnessed Zhang Zhiliang using his Cave Heaven Domain. In contrast to the Nascent Soul Monk that Li Fan previously slew, whose domain was a volcano, Zhang Zhiliangâs Heavenâs Eye Cave Domain was significantly more powerful.
âThe Array on the island has been completely removed by me. Now, you all follow behind me to rebuild the array.â Zhang Zhiliang said to Li Fan and the others.
âThe Island Protection Array of our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is now the âHeaven Yuan Life Formationâ. The outer formation has 368,000 nodes, each node has more than a hundred different arrays.â
âWhat you have to do this time is to rebuild the external structure of the Heaven Yuan Life Formation.â
âAs for the inner core Array, itâs premature for you to come into contact with it based on your level of understanding of the Array Technique. I will personally build it this time.â
Zhang Zhiliang said so and pointed towards the void in front of him.
A light curtain containing hundreds of Array Structure diagrams opened up before everyone.
âLi Fan, can you identify which basic Arrays are included in this diagram?â Zhang Zhiliang asked.
After carefully distinguishing for a moment, Li Fan calmly answered: âThe Gathering Spirit Array, Solid Defense Formation, Unity FormationâŠâ
Hearing Li Fanâs answer, Zhang Zhiliang nodded with satisfaction.
He then proceeded to explain in detail how to construct each node to everyone.
As if avoiding any bias, Pei Tuo distanced himself from the group and focused on maintaining a vigilant defense.
It took Zhang Zhiliang three full days and nights to explain the external nodes of the Heaven Yuan Life Formation.
Although Li Fan didnât fully understand it, under the assistance of the âTaoist Divine Oneâ secret technique, he had already etched it deeply into his spirit consciousness.
âMaster Zhang, once upon a time I stumbled upon an ancient script mentioning a certain Array called the âThe Rebirth of The Elemental Conversion Arrayâ. Is there any connection to the âHeaven Yuan Life Formationâ used by our Immortal Alliance?â Li Fan seized this opportunity to inquire.
Zhang Zhiliang was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Li Fan to ask such a question.
âYou indeed have a broad knowledge, even knowing about such a rarely mentioned array.â Zhang Zhiliang commended before explaining. âThe life-generating function in the Heaven Yuan Life Formation is derived from the ancient âThe Rebirth of The Elemental Conversion Arrayâ.â
âHowever, now that everyoneâs body has the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, the Array has also undergone corresponding changes to be usable. The actual effect, however, is significantly inferior to before. It is said that the previous âThe Rebirth of The Elemental Conversion Arrayâ could convert the life force of mortals into Longevity Fruit for cultivators to consume.â
âNow it only has a few uses left like improving the density of Spiritual Energy within the Array or nourishing the flesh.â
Zhang Zhiliang said with a hint of regret.
Next, he distributed the Array establishing materials and commanded everyone to construct the Array nodes independently.
Having a freely available opportunity to practice setting up the Array, Li Fan certainly wasnât going to let it pass.
He immediately set to work arranging the Array, losing awareness of everything else.
All along, Li Fan had mainly been theoretically studying the Array and rarely
practiced setting up the actual Array.
Therefore, in the beginning, he was a little inexperienced.
His error rate was relatively high.
But soon, Li Fan discovered the abnormality of the âDaoist Divine Oneâ..
