Chapter 566: Chapter 538: Conferment of Secret Word Envoy

“Brother Li, please!”

The cultivator with the square face, stood before Li Fan, said in a solemn voice.

Previously when Li Fan was eavesdropping on these people discussing strategies, he learned from Zhou Kebao that this man’s surname was Long.

Among them, he was faintly in a leadership position.

And on the Business Pact Scroll that Zhou Kebao signed, there was only one person with the surname Long.

So Li Fan was able to identify the identity of the monk in front of him.

Long Yueyou.

The surname Long was not common.

When Li Fan was in the Sky Extremity Institute of the Great Achiever in the Tianquan Province, he heard of the name of the Tianquan Dragon Family.

Although unlike Dan Tai’s family, where their Unity-Path elder held a high position in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

But the Dragon Family was very united, and their family members were all over the Immortal Alliance.

Even though most of them held basic positions, when they came together, they were definitely a force not to be underestimated.

I just don’t know if this Long Yueyou has any relation to this Dragon Family.

The thought flashed through his consciousness, and Li Fan pretended to not recognize Long Yueyou, asked, “Who might this be?”

Long Yueyou gave a slight smile, his expression proud and without words.

His sidekicks hurriedly introduced Li Fan.

Sure enough, as Li Fan had speculated.

“Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!” Li Fan quickly bowed his hands, feigning surprise.

However, his opinion of Long Yueyou had already decreased somewhat.

Long Yueyou just nodded in response.

Li Fan didn’t mind, and the two of them followed behind Zhou Kebao in a group of cultivators, flying into the Suspended City in the sky.

The protective array hadn’t been activated, so they were free to fly around in the city.

This was Li Fan’s first time looking over the Immortal City of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

The perspective was different, and it had a different flavor.

Zhou Kebao began to introduce Li Fan to the various facilities and layouts in the city.

In fact, without him saying much, Li Fan could see clearly that this Immortal City Cave Mansion was exactly like the Immortal Alliance cities he usually saw.

After a detailed look at each building in the city, Li Fan nodded satisfactorily.

Seeing that the time was about right, Zhou Kebao took out a token with a seven-colored radiance and handed it over.

“This is the control hub of this cave mansion, as long as you refine it with blood essence, you can manipulate the corresponding large and small array techniques in the city with your mind.”

“In addition to the basic functions that all immortal cities possess, we have specially added many useful features such as long-range teleportation, illusory mirage etc. as per your request.”

“Of course, you can also delegate some control authorities of the cave mansion to other cultivators.”

…

Zhou Kebao conscientiously showed Li Fan the powerful features of this Immortal City Cave Mansion, and even thoughtfully offered some reminders.

“Long-range teleportation requires a lot of energy. In addition to the top-grade spirit stone, it also requires a certain amount of rare and precious materials such as Void-Rending Sand and Orbitlock Myst Crystal, which are expensive in the market. If you need them, you can get them from us at a reasonable price.” Zhou Kebao said in a low voice, which drew laughter from the surrounding cultivators.

“Also, there’s one more thing that needs attention. This long-range teleportation requires precise spatial coordinates of the target location. Otherwise, the teleportation may result in a positional deviation. If you teleport into the endless void by mistake, it would be troublesome.” Zhou Kebao said with a solemn expression.

Li Fan nodded to show he understood.

“Finally, it’s the self-destruction function that you’ve reiterated.” Zhou Kebao’s tone suddenly became a bit nervous.

“Due to your request, we’ve gone through quite some effort.”

“When we built the city, we added special materials that can cause Thunder of Muted Oblivion throughout the city.”

“In addition, we used Magic Treasure refining method to construct this Immortal City Cave Mansion, hence the magic treasure itself has a self-destruction function to harm enemies.”

Zhou Kebao paused.

“According to our calculations, if this cave mansion was to suddenly explode, even Integration Cultivators, without any precautions, would have to suffer severe injuries.”

Once these words were out, the surroundings quieted down.

The cultivators present, including Long Yueyou, looked at Li Fan with slightly strange eyes.

But none of them asked why.

Just as Li Fan himself had said, he had been attacked by spies from the Five Elders Organization before. Moreover, he was wealthy, so carrying such a big killing weapon for self-defense,

Was quite reasonable, right?

No matter what Li Fan’s real intention was, as long as they could sell this Cave Mansion Immortal City and get the contribution points, that’s all that matters.

If worst comes to worst, they would avoid provoking him unnecessarily in the future and stay away from him if possible.

Zhou Kebao and others all had this thought.

The cultivators laughed awkwardly and decided not to discuss the matter further.

After Li Fan finished the transaction for the remaining contribution points, he also refined the control token with the seven colors, witnessed by everyone.

As he looked over the gigantic city below, he felt a sense of control as if the city was an extension of his own limbs.

At the same time, ways to manipulate various functions popped up in his consciousness.

With a thought, the Immortal City Cave Mansion immediately turned into a tiny light particle, and teleported into Li Fan’s dantian.

“What a treasure!”

Li Fan applauded.

“If you have any other needs in the future, you can come to us.”

“As long as you have enough contribution points, anything can be discussed.”

Zhou Kebao said with a big smile.

“I suppose I’ll be needing your assistance more often!” Li Fan swept his gaze around, speaking with a smile.

This elicited a bout of laughter from those around him.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, citing the imminent completion of Misthaven City and his busy public duties, Li Fan left the Advanced World.

“This fellow is audacious and daring, it’s best not to make unnecessary enemies with him.” Long Yueyou remarked, watching Li Fan’s figure gradually fade.

“True, what normal cultivator would carry around such a terrifying monstrosity. If he went mad and set it off in any immortal city…”

“Tsk tsk…”

“Well, he’s an Ancient monk, it’s normal. If he really had an obsession against our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, now that would be strange.”

“Hehe, anyway, we’ve got our contribution points, it has nothing to do with us.”

Everyone seemed indifferent, discussing and laughing.

—————–

Misthaven Ocean.

Li Fan felt a lot more at ease as he observed the Immortal City Cave Mansion quietly sleeping within his Dantian.

With this destructive force as his protection, combined with the “Blood Essence of Ten Thousand People” that had been bound in the [Even True] space, Li Fan believed that even in the face of an Integration Cultivator, he now had enough deterrence.

As for whether Zhou Kebao and others would leave any backdoors in this cave mansion…

Li Fan didn’t care at all.

After all, its fate had been destined.

Before the identity of “Li Fan, the monk of the Ancient Heavenly Machine Sect” completely disappears, it would burst forth in a glorious finale within the territory of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Pictures of various potential futures flashed through Li Fan’s mind, causing him to sneer.

Once his thoughts had settled, before the official inauguration ceremony of Misthaven City, Li Fan returned to the Dustcrosser Boat and requested to see the first Prince Jinglun.

“Prince Jinglun, I have completed the Immortal Alliance task that you assigned to me after months of hard work. The matter you entrusted to me has also been dealt with.”

“You see…”

Li Fan spoke very tactfully, but he believed that Prince Jinglun, being a smart man, would understand his meaning.

Hunched over and frowning at the continuously flashing information in the documents, Prince Jinglun raised his head.

“Rest assured, the Immortal Alliance never treats those who have made contributions unfairly.”

“The corresponding reward has already been set. It was originally planned to be announced by my people at the inauguration ceremony, but since you’re so eager, take a look.”

Prince Jinglun lightly tapped the table, and a stream of light instantly shot towards Li Fan.

Unable to dodge, the moment the light entered his body, a piece of information surfaced in Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.

“In recognition of Li Fan, the acting Island Master of Misthaven Island, for his diligent efforts in supervising the construction of Misthaven City.”

“He is hereby promoted to be the Secret Word Envoy of Misthaven City Governance Hall, acting as the full representative of all administrative duties when the Island Master is not within the territorial waters.”

“Additionally, he is granted a reward of 100,000 contribution points and a superior-level merit award.”

…

“Hmph, the Immortal Alliance doesn’t mistreat contributors, that sounds familiar.”

“But the reward for this task is indeed as good as its word.”

Li Fan thought to himself.

Upon carefully reading the order from the Administrative Hall Headquarters, Li Fan found that the actual power of this Secret Word Envoy role he was about to assume was quite substantial.

In reality, many affairs in the actual operation of local government are ultimately determined by the Secret Word Envoys of the Administrative Hall.

Only special events of a certain level need to be reported for approval by the city master of the Immortal City.

After all, there are too many trivial matters within a province, and if every matter had to be personally handled by the city master, even if they had several avatars, they might still be overwhelmed.

Moreover, the city masters of various provinces are mostly at the God Transforming Cultivation Level.

Having reached this stage, who wouldn’t want to make further progress and achieve Unity-Path?

It’s worth noting that once one enters the Unity Realm, their status is completely different from that of a God Transformation.

On a smaller scale, it means being the true ruler of a province.

On a larger scale, being transferred from a local position to the center of power in the hinterlands of the Immortal Alliance was within reach.

Therefore, they must ensure they have enough time for cultivation.

As assistants to the city master, the Secret Word Envoys should also take on the responsibility of handling administrative affairs.

Generally speaking, there are usually three to five Secret Word Envoys in a province.

However, the situation in Misthaven Sea is unique.

Those of the upper echelon were dispatched somewhere else under an order, while the middle and lower-level cultivators were almost all captured by the Five Elders Organization.

In order to get the rebuilt Misthaven City up and running as soon as possible, the Administrative Hall Headquarters temporarily only arranged for one Secret Word Envoy at the same time.

They also gave Li Fan sufficient authority.

He had a third of the nomination quota for now vacant positions.

As for the remainder, monks from other provinces would be transferred shortly.

“With the two God Transforming Immortal Monarchs, Hongxi and Zi Yun, not returning, I practically have the final say in Misthaven City.”

“All my hard work these few months has not been in vain.”

With these thoughts in mind, Li Fan looked excited.

“Thank you for your guidance, Prince! From now on, I will serve you loyally to repay your kindness!”

Li Fan pledged earnestly.
