Chapter 410: Chapter 386: Are You Dissatisfied?
Translator: 549690339
About two and a half years ago, the most efficient Array Masters had already completed the construction of the Spirit-locking Formation in their respective areas.
Some chose to rest.
Some went to support unfinished Array constructions for the sake of gaining more points for the Grand Competition.
However, young Array Masters were still not qualified to get to crucial places like the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
Li Fan was able to get here due to his relationship with Chief Lu and the sudden change in the Sky-spirit State Void.
Who would have thought that two years later, Li Fan’s hard-won destination can now be entered simply by making an application.
“Isn’t this my friend Li Fan? I have heard so much about you!”
A young Array Master named Xiang Liu enthusiastically greeted Li Fan.
“Since two years ago, your rankings progressed by leaps and bounds, solidly ranking within the top three, causing quite an uproar and discussion.”
“Everyone knows of your deeds, but if we’re talking about perseverance, many cultivators are definitely not inferior to you.”
“Back then, everyone speculated that you must be responsible for Array Construction in a very important place.”
“As expected!”
Xiang Liu looked at Li Fan with admiration, but there was no hint of jealousy in his eyes.
Another Array Master named Gu Youguang could barely hide his envy: “You must come from a powerful background to have the opportunity to come to such an important place.”
“The points gained within the Five Elements Cave Heaven are more than three times those of the outside world!”
Li Fan gently coughed and pretended to be weak: “Hehe, you misunderstood. My being able to come here is just a coincidence, I just took advantage of elder Huang Fusong.”
“Moreover, my life is reaching its limit and I will pass away soon. What use do points and rankings have for me?”
“No matter where I am, there isn’t much difference to me.”
“As long as I’m involved in the construction of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, that’s all that matters.”
On hearing his words, Xiang Liu and Gu Youguang both put away their playful expressions and became serious.
“We admire what you’ve done.”
“That’s why although there is a lot of speculation about you being ranked second, not many are discontented with it.”
Li Fan hadn’t expected that the point multiplier of the Five Elements Cave Heaven would be so high.
In addition to his relentless hard work over the past two years, he managed to rank second in the Grand Competition Gold List.
“Who is the first?” Li Fan asked, a little curious.
“Who else could it be? Isn’t it that bastard Guo?” Gu Youguang said with some disdain.
“Brother Gu, be cautious with your words…” Xiang Liu glanced at Gu Youguang and explained: “The one who is currently sitting firmly in the first place is our fellow Daoist Guo Yezhong, who was initially ranked last.”
“Guo Yezhong…” Li Fan’s gaze flickered as he knowingly asked: “Why was he able to reverse his position from last to first? Judging from Brother Gu’s tone…”
Before Xiang Liu could explain, Gu Youguang rushed to say: “What skills does he have? Isn’t it just that he has good luck? I heard that after the battle in the Heavenly Spirit State, he was the first to propose the idea of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array. So every Spirit-locking Formation that is established, he gets credited for it. He gets a considerable amount of points as a reward.”
“With more and more Arrays being built now, naturally, no one can surpass him.”
Gu Youguang said indignantly: “It’s actually nothing. After all, he did contribute to the birth of the Array. What truly caused resentment was that he relied on the advantages he had already gained, lay back and reaped the benefits, and even refused to expend any more effort. He treated the hard work of his fellow Daoists as a game, trampling on the significance of our hard work…”
Seeing that Gu Youguang was getting more and more unreasonable, Xiang Liu interrupted him: “In fact, Daoist friend Guo is pretty good, a natural talent indeed. It is said that he not only proposed the idea of the Spirit-locking Formation but also personally designed and created the prototype.”
“Furthermore, the reason he had zero points initially was just because he was delayed by some important matters. It wasn’t intentional…”
Gu Youguang scoffed, “Who believes that? I heard it was because he had a good father!”
“When some Daoists went to confront him, not only did he show no remorse, he even brazenly retorted ‘what, are you upset with me?’ ”
“Exceedingly shameless. The thought that I used to study with such a person makes me feel sick!”
Seeing Gu Youguang’s exasperated expression, Xiang Liu couldn’t help but chuckle. He shook his head repeatedly and didn’t try to dissuade him any longer.
“Guo Yezhong.” Li Fan recalled their encounter in the Universal Academy. “I really misjudged him…”
In the next part of their reunion, Guo Yezhong wasn’t mentioned again.
They reminisced about their days studying together and Li Fan asked them about their experiences in the outside world.
After a bout of casual conversation, they saw that the time was almost up,
The two joined the Array Construction for the Water Cave Heaven.
Xiang Liu and Gu Youguang’s Array level was not inferior to Li Fan’s.
With their assistance, the progress greatly accelerated.
Moreover, they were also accompanied by many cultivators from the Defense Institute who came to help.
They all carried a liuli bottle-like Magic Treasure that could emit the [Second Split Liuli Light].
This mysterious light has a purifying effect that can clear the source of contamination. It has a miraculous effect against the fusion monsters within the Five Elements Cave Heaven.
With no external threats, the overall construction progress of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array improved at a rapid pace.
After only four months, it had reached 99% completion.
At the same time, the process of the Unity of Five Elements was about to conclude.
In the sky, the overhanging giant tree had countless branches deeply embedded in the blue waters.
Interestingly, at the beginning when water and wood lightly touched, strange monsters were constantly produced.
However, at this point where the fusion of water and wood attributes was truly taking place, those strange creatures did not appear.
However, Li Fan, looking at the green branches dyed blue by the water, suddenly saw those incomplete human figures in front of him.
“Daoist friend Li Fan, it is time to retreat.”
Xiang Liu, seeing Li Fan lost in thought, reminded him.
Li Fan nodded slightly, unfolded the Heaven Escape Shuttle, and headed towards the large Dustcrosser Boat in the sky.
The next part of the work did not require Array Masters.
While countless cultivators were returning to the Dustcrosser Boat, a number of dark figures flew against the tide, heading towards the various Array nodes they had built earlier.
They would use the [Eternal Gold] to protect the key structure of the Spirit-locking Formation.
When everything is ready and the Tianxuan Mirror is installed, the Spirit-locking Formation enveloping the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven would be completely constructed.
“I hope there are no more problems.” Li Fan thought to himself as he returned to the Dustcrosser Boat.
“Master, what will this Cave Heaven look like after the Unity of Five Elements?” A child’s curious voice rang out in his ear.
