Chapter 126: Seven-Colored Falling Immortal Formation

The Celestial Mystery Hall was located in the central core area of Ten Thousand Immortals Island. The message told him to go to the entrance of the area, where someone would guide him.

Li Fan was also a bit curious about this mysterious death incident, so he didn't delay and headed straight for the central core area.

Soon, several imposing buildings in the center of Ten Thousand Immortals Island were right before his eyes.

A striking seven-colored barrier and a surrounding moat separated the core area from the central Immortal Cave residential district.

Li Fan stood on the small bridge, pausing to wait for the guide.

He keenly sensed that ever since he stepped onto this small bridge, the seven-colored floating light above had locked onto him.

Li Fan was also bold; he looked up and carefully observed the seven-colored light.

It seemed to be part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island's protective grand Formation, yet it was independent, with even greater power.

"I wonder what kind of Formation this is," Li Fan mused to himself.

Before long, a Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in a black and yellow robe hurried over.

He glanced at Li Fan, confirming his identity.

Then, without saying much, he simply instructed Li Fan to follow closely and not wander off.

After that, he walked inside.

The killing intent locked by the seven-colored floating light dissipated, and Li Fan unhurriedly followed behind him.

As he walked, he looked around.

He noticed that all the Cultivators inside were wearing black and yellow robes, just like the guide.

Their expressions were serious, and they moved hastily, as if extremely busy.

Their cultivation levels ranged from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment and above.

"So this is what being inside the system is like," Li Fan thought to himself.

Meeting Hall, Medicine Hall, Talisman Hall, Martial Arts Hall…

Passing by building after building, they finally arrived at the Celestial Mystery Hall in the corner.

Compared to other places, it was much quieter here.

Occasionally, he would encounter one or two Cultivators whose cultivation levels he couldn't discern, sitting with closed eyes and fingers moving slightly, as if calculating something.

The guiding Cultivator led Li Fan to a room and then quietly withdrew.

Inside the room, incense lingered. A Cultivator, with his back to Li Fan, was looking up at a huge map of the Congyun Sea.

Li Fan focused his gaze and saw that the map was densely covered with countless markings.

There were green winds, red crosses, black dots…

Moreover, these markings were all like living things, constantly moving and changing on the map.

"This is…" Li Fan's heart stirred, and he carefully examined the map.

But unexpectedly, after just a few glances, he felt dizzy, so he quickly averted his eyes and dared not look again.

Thus, Li Fan stood in the room for a while before the Cultivator with his back turned finally turned around.

He was a young man with a scholar's appearance, seemingly only in his twenties.

His face was haggard, and he didn't look very healthy.

He coughed a few times, waved his hand, and dozens of miniature figures immediately appeared before Li Fan.

"Do you know these people?"

Li Fan looked over and focused his Divine Thought on one of the figures.

"Mao Fei, Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator. Cause of death: attacked by a seabed exotic beast while going out."

Li Fan switched to another person to check.

"Qiao Guangyu, Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator. Cause of death: when comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, his mind became disordered, and he died from self-destruction."

Li Fan's eyelids twitched, and he switched to another.

"Ling Meng, Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. Cause of death: while seeking Opportunities outside, he accidentally perished in a relic Immortal Cave."

…

After looking through all these images one by one, Li Fan's heart grew cold.

These people, he naturally knew them all.

They were all the ones who had entered the thatched hut at that time.

He had originally thought it was a great Opportunity to increase a minor Realm.

Unexpectedly, it was a deadly trap.

The life-taking didn't happen immediately, but in the near future.

The Master was truly poisonous.

Moreover, this way of dying…

Li Fan was all too familiar with it.

Wasn't this exactly the killing intent of heaven?

But why would accepting the Master's Opportunity provoke the killing intent of heaven and earth?

The Master, the Heavenly Doctor, Cloud Water Heavenly Palace…

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind in an instant.

While pondering, he didn't forget to nod and reply, "I have indeed met these people once."

Then, Li Fan recounted the scene of the green ox pulling the cart and the bamboo slip teaching.

The frail-looking Cultivator seemed to already know this and showed little surprise.

Instead, he looked at Li Fan with interest and asked, "When the Opportunity was presented, many people present entered. Why did you alone choose not to enter?"

Li Fan again used the same excuse as before.

The frail Cultivator neither confirmed nor denied it after listening, but he didn't argue with Li Fan either.

He just smiled and said, "You are quite lucky."

He turned his head to look at the images of the Cultivators who had inexplicably fallen.

Sighing, he said, "When heaven wants you dead, you have no choice but to die."

After a long while, he spoke to Li Fan again, "You may go back. I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but as the sole survivor of the incident, the necessary procedures still need to be followed. That's why I summoned you here to ask some questions."

Li Fan nodded, glanced again at the map on the wall, and quietly left.

Faintly, he seemed to hear the Cultivator's weak sigh from the room: "One more case."

Li Fan's steps paused slightly, then returned to normal.

Coming out of the Celestial Mystery Hall, suspicion arose in Li Fan's heart.

"One more case? What does that mean?"

"Does it refer to the strange killings, or the killing intent of heaven?"

"With the Celestial Venerable of Longevity's intangible influence, how does he remember?"

Li Fan also recalled the countless markings on that map.

"Perhaps, although specific events cannot be remembered, by observing the effects of the events, one can indirectly confirm that the events did indeed occur."

"For example, a sudden mass simultaneous death of Cultivators from the Myriad Immortals Alliance…"

Li Fan walked and pondered.

But his thoughts were interrupted by a noisy crowd ahead.

These people were all wearing black and yellow robes, appearing relatively young and naive.

Their cultivation levels were only at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, as if they had just recently embarked on cultivation.

They looked up at the flowing seven-colored light in the sky, pointing and chattering excitedly.

The leader was older, with a long beard.

He said, "This is the [Seven-Colored Falling Immortal Formation] standard in the core area of every Myriad Immortals Alliance outpost. Improved from an ancient Formation, its power is astonishing. If an ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivator accidentally falls into the Formation, they will immediately perish."

"So powerful!"

"Great Master Gong, Great Master Gong, how long will it take for us to learn to set up such a powerful Formation?"

That Great Master Gong chuckled and said, "You kids have just learned to walk, yet you're already thinking about flying."

"Well, let me think."

"Generally speaking, once you Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can try to set up the island-protecting grand Formation."

"At the Golden Core Stage, you can barely participate in maintaining the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation."

"As for this [Seven-Colored Falling Immortal Formation]…"

Great Master Gong smiled but did not answer.
