Chapter 454: Chapter 426: From the Ancient Repairs to the Future

“Indeed so!”

Li Fan’s resonant voice echoed in the space.

The white jade Heart-Asking Platform was silent, with no reaction.

The old man carefully examined Li Fan again and continued to ask, “May I know where you were in hibernation and approximately when did you wake up?”

Li Fan showed a displeased look, but he still uttered solemnly, “In an underground cave at the edge of the Misthaven Ocean. As for the time, it should be roughly twenty-six days ago.”

“Please be patient for a while, fellow Daoist.” The old man said with a smile, then he closed his eyes.

Li Fan had to wait patiently on the Heart-Asking platform.

A whole day passed, and Li Fan started to show signs of impatience.

“Are we not done yet, old man?!”

“This younger generation is getting worse. Back in our days, our Heavenly Machine Sect didn’t have such a hassle in selecting disciples… ”

He muttered quietly under his breath.

Before long, the old man opened his eyes.

“After confirmation, a cultivator did indeed fly out from the Hundred Stone Cave Heaven some days ago.”

“But don’t hurry, we still have one last step to conduct.”

With an apologetic smile, the old man spoke, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared above Li Fan’s head.

It emitted a ghostly green light, enveloping Li Fan.

“Here it comes…”

Li Fan’s heart fluttered slightly, but he was nonchalant.

In the past, his Furnace All-Encompassing Skill combined with the [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique] was enough to deceive the advanced version of the Tianxuan Mirror, the [Mystic Net].

Now, Li Fan had the support of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, and what came to verify him was only a Tianxuan Mirror Avatar.

The chance of being exposed was slim to none.

As expected, shortly after, the Tianxuan Mirror withdrew the green light and disappeared.

The old man’s face became more benign: “Welcome, fellow Daoist, to our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!”

“The times have changed, and much has happened while you were hibernating.”

“If you have any needs, our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals can appoint a specialist to assist you in quickly adapting to life nowadays…”

Li Fan waved his hand: “I appreciate the gesture! But before I came, I had some interactions with He Zhenghao from Liuli Island. I am already quite familiar with many of the operations within your esteemed alliance.”

The elder nodded: “All the better. Your identity has been registered, and you are now free to move about.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan got up to leave.

“Remember, fellow Daoist, from now on, it is no longer ‘your esteemed alliance’, but ‘our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’.” The elder said with a smile, a hint of profundity in his words.

Li Fan paused his steps, but without a word, went straight away.

Upon leaving the central area of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, he stood before the Tianxuan Mirror.

Looking at the seemingly ordinary and harmless mirror in front of him, Li Fan couldn’t help but recall the green net that had covered the entire Xuanhuang World in the past.

After staring for a while, Li Fan took a deep breath and stepped into the mirror.

“Ancient cultivator, Li Fan, welcome to the future!”

The familiar mechanical sound of the Tianxuan Mirror rang out.

Afterwards, there was a series of introductions to the Tianxuan Mirror.

Pretending to listen carefully, Li Fan tried each function.

After a long while, the sound of the Tianxuan Mirror disappeared.

Li Fan looked at his balance of contributions.

“10000 points.”

“This is unexpectedly generous. I remember that when I was in the final stage of Foundation Establishment, I was only given 1000 points.”

“Or is it that an ancient cultivator’s submission comes with extra perks?”

He shook his head and put this trivial matter out of his mind.

After searching for a list of techniques in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan took out a pile of Jade Scrolls from his Storage Ring, ready to sell.

These were the many techniques he had acquired from the Hundred Stone Cave Heaven.

Fortunately, all these techniques were rare copies.

Originally, there were twenty Golden Core Techniques and ten Nascent Soul Cultivation Techniques.

Li Fan kept three of each, for future needs.

The rest were all sold off.

The Tianxuan Mirror offered an average purchase price of thirteen thousand per Golden Core Technique and eighty-five thousand per Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique.

Li Fan didn’t haggle and simply sold them.

As a result, in an instant, the balance of Li Fan’s account became eight hundred and twenty-six thousand points contribution.

“Selling techniques does earn faster indeed, breezy and easy, almost equal to my years of Law Transmission at the Moon Palace.”

“Truly a necessary demand.”

Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh.

“Over eight hundred thousand contribution points is enough to last for a while. But it’s still not enough…”

Li Fan’s current level is at the Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivation.

Eight years from now, equating to 16 anchored years later, the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven would be discovered and consequently relocated to the hinterland of the Immortal League.

In 36 anchored years, the Five Elements Cave Heaven will reappear in the Heaven Spirit State Void, attracting the attention of the Immortal League again.

That is to say, Li Fan only has 20 years left.

The time is pressing, Li Fan must advance to Golden Core Perfection within eight years.

Only then will he be qualified to contemplate the land of Heaven Spirit State Void.

Eight years to progress from Mid Stage Golden Core to Golden Core Perfection.

This is somewhat challenging for someone with Li Fan’s cultivation aptitude.

So, naturally, he needs to use some means.

Li Fan looked at his reflection in the mirror.

He didn’t appear as a twenty-year-old young man.

He resembled a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties instead.

It was a result of using the “Extraordinary True Spirit Transformation Technique”.

“Covering myself with a layer of disguise, not showing my true face offers a unique sense of security in this perilous Xuanhuang World.”

“If anything goes wrong, I just need to change my identity.”

Li Fan smiled slightly and bought the materials needed for refining an incarnation in the Tianxuan Mirror.

Afterward, he arrived at Taian Island through the Teleportation Array.

With the Formless Killing Machine, he locked onto Zhou Qingang, who was also a spy from the Fifth Elder’s Club and the guardian of Taian Island.

Pretending to leave Taian Island, he didn’t go far but hid under the sea.

He waited for over a month before Zhou Qingang finally set off to sea alone.

Following him, he led him to an uninhabited sea area.

The Binding Worm Divine Technique was suddenly launched, and he was captured.

Li Fan brought him to the bottom of the sea, then dug out a secret room as usual.

Li Fan didn’t waste words, he lightly pointed his index finger, and the Mistwater Mirage Technique was activated.

Zhou Qingang instantly fell into a deep sleep.

With the experience from his previous life, Li Fan knew that there was a special prohibition from the Fifth Elder’s Club in Zhou Qingang’s Divine Soul.

If one forces a soul search, it will trigger the restriction, causing his soul to dissipate.

So, in this life, Li Fan changed the method, constructing a false dream world to peer into the secrets deep within his heart.

Slowly, a smile appeared on Zhou Qingang’s face.

In his dream, he dutifully hid in the Immortal League for hundreds of years.

Starting from the grassroots level, when he broke through to the God Transforming Cultivation Level, he finally became the master of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Then, with his inside and outside cooperation, the Fifth Elder’s Club launched a massive attack like cutting through bamboo; in a matter of days, they occupied the entire Misthaven Ocean.

And he, Zhou Qingang, finally returned to his hometown in high spirits with his mission accomplished.

“Gentleman’s Country?”

Looking at the Zhou Qingang who was deeply engrossed in his dream and couldn’t pull himself out, Li Fan muttered thoughtfully.
