Chapter 311: 291: Tianyu’s Life Phases
On the surface, it didn’t seem like Li Fan was cultivating.
In reality, he had divided his consciousness to study Array Technique, peruse “The Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician”, and cultivate accumulation for the Tribulation Body.
Multi-tasking with organization and clarity.
Playing with the silver token in his hand, upon allowing his divine sense to enter, a plethora of information emerged in his consciousness.
Its name was [Universal Order], a magic tool made to complement the Universal Courtyards.
In addition to basic functions like communication and storage, its main purpose was to control residences in the courtyard complex.
There were three types of residences in the courtyard of different quality tiers: high, middle, and low.
The treatment also varied with different tiers.
What Li Fan received was at the top tier.
“Must have been allocated based on the previous test results,” Li Fan mused.
Stowing away the token, Li Fan activated the Tianxuan Mirror.
He began to review the most recent popular events.
Apart from significant incidents that affected the whole Xuanhuang World, many were covering hot topics happening around the nearby region.
Compared to his time in the Misthaven Ocean, both the density of the information and number of people discussing it were far higher, letting Li Fan feel a sense of prosperity.
His divine sense sifted through various pieces of information.
“Chaoyuan Sect’s ruins act strangely again. This time even a God Transforming cultivator fell within it. Fellow cultivators, it is better not to risk it!”
“Imperial Immortal Ji resigned from his post as Commander-in-Chief of the Defense Institute. Allegedly, he lost a significant portion of his lifespan from a wicked spell that got him in the battle between the ‘Real and Illusive Heavenly Master Scheme’ and the Five Elders competing against Integrative Cultivators, leaving him frail and unable to oversee the grand situation.”
“In front of Tianyun State’s [Mortal to God Wall], another cultivator rejoiced. After successfully joining the Grand Dao, he finally entered the Golden Core Realm!”
“Delusional Wuchi has been lurking around Tianquan Province recently. Fellow cultivators, exercise caution!”
“Yesterday, aged Fisherman showed up in Xiaoxiang City, Tianshu Province and will likely stay there for around seven days. Those who seek opportunities better rush!”
“Old Fisherman…” Li Fan looked interested and clicked for more details.
Turns out, this old Fisherman was a seemingly crazy cultivator.
In fisherman’s garb, his cultivation state was unknown.
He’d mutter continuously about losing his belongings.
His whereabouts were uncertain, and there was a record of him appearing in various provinces.
What they referred to as opportunities was purely luck-based.
Cultivators would show their possessions to the old Fisherman to see whether they contained the items he lost.
But typically, the old Fisherman would repeatedly shake his head, insisting that those weren’t his belongings.
Occasionally though, he would show interest in certain items and propose an exchange.
The Fisherman was very generous. The techniques and magical treasures he offered in return were of greater value than the items the cultivators offered.
As a result, quite a few cultivators wanted to gamble with their unknown items.
Of course, there were foolish cultivators who harbored thoughts of robbing him forcefully.
However, none of them lived to tell the tale.
“Quite interesting…”
“Unfortunately, once you enter the Universal Courtyard, you can’t leave before the end of the secluded training. Otherwise, it would have been fun to join the excitement in different places.”
Li Fan noted this information and felt a sense of regret.
After cultivating in the courtyard for several days, Li Fan finally received a message from the Universal Order.
All participants had arrived, and the training camp will officially begin tomorrow.
At the same time, a set of white clothes and a shiny golden ball appeared in the Universal Order.
Li Fan didn’t know what the small ball was made of. It felt incredibly hard to the touch, yet his divine sense was unable to penetrate it.
Upon closer observation, golden radiance seemed to flow within the small ball, like the existence of some liquid.
Li Fan put on the white clothes, quietly waiting for tomorrow.
The next day, vibrations emerged from the Universal Order, followed by a burst of radiance.
Enveloped by the silver radiance, Li Fan found himself in a vast plain. Overhead, dressed in the same white clothes, were more than a thousand people.
“According to what Zhang Zhiliang said previously, there are three slots available for this training camp from the Misthaven Ocean region.”
“Doesn’t that mean the Immortal Alliance has control over more than three hundred provinces?”
“No, perhaps some provinces have several times more slots compared to the Misthaven Ocean.”
“But even so, it illustrates the vastness of this Xuanhuang World.”
As Li Fan pondered, the white-clothed Ji Hongdao, who he had seen earlier, silently appeared above the crowd.
After sweeping his gaze over everyone, he spoke loudly, “I’m sure you all know the purpose of this training.”
“It’s to speed up the popularization of the [Tianxuan Soul Locking Array] throughout our Immortal Alliance, leaving our enemies from the Five Elders with nowhere to hide.”
“Tianxuan Spirit Locking…I assume you’ve heard the name countless times by now. However, those who have truly seen it should be very few.”
“Today, let’s let you see it for yourselves first.”
With Ji Hongdao’s words, an image of a mirror emerged above everyone’s head.
Next, three towering pillars of light descended from the sky, locking onto three areas on the plain below.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was taken aback, followed by a concentrated effort to sense the location marked by the light pillars.
Li Fan frowned slightly as, no matter how he sensed it, there was nothing there.
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, almost everyone was in the same situation.
At this moment, Ji Hongdao spoke again, “Are you surprised? As you sense it, there is nothing there. But somehow, the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array has marked it…”
His voice suddenly elevated, “This is the Five Elders’ [Unity with Tao] Stealth Secret Technique. Through this secret technique, they have been able to repeatedly violate our boundaries unimpeded.”
“But now, with the advent of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, it all becomes past.”
With a point from Ji Hongdao, the three light pillars abruptly became brighter.
The air twisted, and at each locked position, three monks with fetters binding their bodies, looking distraught, appeared.
These three monks glared at Li Fan and the others in the sky with hatred.
But they couldn’t move or speak.
They could only silently serve as teaching examples for this demonstration.
“The fundamental principle of Tianxuan Spirit Locking is the [Soul Contract] that every monk from the Five Elder’s will sign…”.
Ji Hongdao began to explain.
To demonstrate the distinctive nature of the divine souls of Five Elders’ monks, he forcibly extracted the divine soul of one of them with a Secret Technique.
And the pillars of light in the sky followed the golden-threaded divine soul that floated persistently.
The agony of having one’s divine soul brutally wrenched out was indescribable.
Upon witnessing this scene, many young cultivators could not bear to watch, their faces filled with sympathy.
Ji Hongdao sneered and noted their reactions, but did not comment.
Time trickled slowly on during the demonstration.
After explaining the basic structure of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, Ji Hongdao continued, “The key to constructing the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array is to build an Array Hub that distinguishes the differences in divine souls.”
