Chapter 195: Chapter 181: White Jade Heart-Asking Platform
Translator: 549690339
Wearing the jade badge given by Zhang Zhiliang, the radiance of Seven-coloured Falling Immortal Array just swept over him without causing any threat.
The Governance Hall and the assembly hall are the two most prominent buildings in the core area of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Li Fan quickly arrived at the Governance Hall.
A cultivator dressed in a black and yellow Taoist robe was standing at the gate.
Seeing Li Fan approaching, he looked over and then respectfully asked, “Are you here to register for a position in the Array Strategy Hall?”
Li Fan nodded.
“Alright, follow me.”
Li Fan followed him deep into the Governance Hall to a small room.
After entering, Li Fan found another world within.
The lead cultivator left and Li Fan remained alone to observe this space.
Countless tall red wooden cabinets were lined up side by side on the floor.
The number of these cabinets was vast.
Endless, so much so that he couldn’t see the end when he looked out abruptly.
A white-haired elder stood quietly in front of these red wooden cabinets.
Li Fan looked at him, not sure if it was some kind of illusion.
He felt that the elder was not standing still.
Instead, it seemed like he had countless alter egos who were busy in front of these red wooden cabinets.
Li Fan looked around this space again.
Apart from the red cabinets and the white-haired elder, there were no other decorations, which was monotonously frightening.
“This seems like the same space as the TianXuan mirror that is common to all locations of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals?” Li Fan speculated silently.
However, he did not delay and handed over the jade badge in his hand to the elder.
The elder took over the jade badge and looked at Li Fan.
After a light cough, he said slowly, “Even though you’ve chosen Zhang Zhiliang’s path, if you want to formally join the Immortal Alliance, you still have to follow the usual procedures.”
The elder pointed to a blank area in front of him. Suddenly, a square white platform rose from the ground.
It was made entirely of white jade, emitting a lustrous glow.
“This is the Heart-Asking Platform. To prevent the spies of the Five Elders
Organization from infiltrating the alliance, you must pass the test of the Heart-Asking Platform before joining.”
“You should go ahead.”
The elder ordered without giving Li Fan a chance to refuse.
Li Fan’s heart tightened. He immediately became alert, ready to run away if anything went wrong.
As soon as he stood on the white jade Heart-Asking Platform, a miniature projection of Li Fan’s figure appeared around him, including some basic information about him within the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.
“Aside from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, have you ever joined any other cultivation organization?”
After a glance at Li Fan’s information, the white-haired elder asked.
“No,” Li Fan answered quickly.
Everything on the white jade platform remained unchanged; no abnormalities occurred.
The white-haired elder nodded, then continued to ask, “Do you have any connections with the Five Elders Organization?”
“Do you harbor any ill intentions towards the Alliance of Ten Thousand
Immortals?”
“Do you have any relatives still alive?”
“They are all mortals, I no longer care about them.”
Time passed as they continued this back- and-forth questioning.
Luckily, all the questions were basic ones about his stance and did not involve any private issues like the techniques and divine techniques he cultivated.
Li Fan responded calmly to each question.
“Last question,” the elder gave a small cough. “Why did you join the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals?”
Li Fan paused, then slowly answered, “Longevity.”
The eyes of the white-haired elder flickered slightly.
The Heart-Asking Platform vanished quietly.
“You have successfully passed the heart test. From today onwards, you are now a formal member of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.”
The elder clapped his hands. In front of him, a slow projection of Li Fan’s miniature image appeared along with some text and images from Li Fan’s previous heart questioning process.
A red wooden cabinet appeared like a phantom from far away, flying through many cabinets to be presented in front of the white-haired elder.
One of the cabinet doors opened itself.
The elder pressed both hands in the air, compressing the image and data in front of him to form a white paper-like sheet with a glowing veneer.
He gently placed the paper inside the cabinet.
Afterward, the cabinet door closed and the cabinet returned to its original position in an instant, disappearing from Li Fan’s view.
“You may leave now!”
The white-haired elder said to Li Fan, and then went back to his immovable state.
Li Fan bowed, then quietly retreated.
After leaving the vast white space, Li Fan ran into the guide cultivator at the entrance of the Governance Hall.
He looked at Li Fan and made a slight bow, “Congratulations on formally joining!”
“Oh? How did you know?” Li Fan returned the bow, politely inquiring.
“Hehe, because after stepping onto the Heart-Asking Platform, the only outcomes are either successfully joining or death. There are no other possibilities. Since you are alive, the result is self-evident.” the guide cultivator laughed as he responded.
“I see. I’m Li Fan.” Li Fan handed over a communication talisman.
“I’m Gao Yuan.” Gao Yuan received Li Fan’s spirit symbol and became even more courteous.
After exchanging a few more words with him, Li Fan returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.
As soon as he entered, he received a message.
“Welcome to the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, cultivator Li Fan.” “Your current position: Misthaven Ocean Array Repair Staff.”
“Duty: Assist Zhang Zhiliang of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island Array Hall in repairing the Misthaven Island Protection Array.”
“Fixed salary: 1500 contribution points per year. Participation in each repair can earn an additional 200-2000 contribution points depending on the extent of participation.”
“Minimum duty requirement: Participate in the Great Array repair at least three times every decade.”
“Notice: If the minimum duty requirement is not met for the first time, a warning will be issued. If it happens a second time, the Array Repair Staff position will be forcibly removed from you. And you are not allowed to join again for a hundred years.”
“Please take your duties seriously.”
“You can now raise your authority level within the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals by accumulating merits.”
“The higher the authority level, the more items and techniques you can view and exchange.”
“Your current authority level: Yan Yi.”
“Completing merit tasks can earn merits.”
“Merits are ranked from high to low as follows: Tian, Di, Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding.”
“Each rank is further divided into upper, middle, and low ranks.”
Aside from the various new notifications,
Li Fan also received several items.
One of them was the universal black yellow Taoist robe used within the structure of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.
The robe had a simple protective effect, effectively resisting attacks from the Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment.
For Li Fan, it was better than nothing.
If the robe is damaged and needs to be replaced, contribution points must be spent to purchase a new one from the Tianxuan Mirror.
Another item was the identity jade disc.
Unlike merely working for the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals previously,
Without joining the system, even if you were killed outside, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals would not protect you.
However, once you have this identity jade disc and unexpected death occurs, The Tiantong Hall would be responsible for the investigation.
After that, depending on the specific results of the investigation, whether retaliation strikes will be carried out will be decided accordingly..
