Chapter 181 The Ultimate Ten Thousand Immortals Formation

He Zhenghao's voice, seeking credit, came from the spiritual talisman.

"Zhang Zhiliang has a strange temper, and it took me a lot of effort to persuade him this time."

"Of course, the contribution points required will be a bit higher than the 10,000 points I mentioned previously for working under Gong Boyu."

"Thirteen thousand contribution points."

"This is a rare opportunity, Fellow Daoist, if you are interested, contact me as soon as possible!"

After that, there was no sound from the spiritual talisman.

"It's just an extra three thousand contribution points, no problem. Thank you, Fellow Daoist!" Li Fan only thought for a moment before giving He Zhenghao a positive reply.

On the one hand, it was to get closer to Zhang Zhiliang and then find a way to become his official apprentice.

On the other hand, it was a good opportunity to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

There are many benefits to joining the system.

Compared to the more than 10,000 contribution points spent in the blink of an eye during closed-door cultivation, these 13,000 contribution points were well worth it.

As soon as the message was sent, He Zhenghao immediately replied: "Since that's the case, to avoid any further complications, Fellow Daoist, quickly go to Dharma Transmission Plaza and wait for me."

"I'll take you to see Zhang Zhiliang first. Then we'll quickly secure the spot."

"You should know, although it's just a small Formation repairman position, there are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators eyeing this spot!"

Li Fan also replied: "In that case, I trouble you, Fellow Daoist!"

Then he left the tianxuan mirror and went to Dharma Transmission Plaza to wait for He Zhenghao.

As soon as he arrived, he saw that he was already waiting.

"Fellow Daoist, you've gone to great lengths!" Li Fan said to He Zhenghao.

"Haha, no need to be formal. Since I introduced you into the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I naturally have to take good care of you."

"Besides, it's mutually beneficial. Perhaps someday I'll have something that requires your assistance, Fellow Daoist!"

He Zhenghao waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

He then continued: "Zhang Zhiliang is not on Wanxian Island at the moment. Recently, an island suddenly emerged from the seabed in the western sea of Congyun Sea. Zhang Zhiliang, Gong Boyu, and the others are all on that island right now."

"It might be a year and a half before they return."

"You come with me to see them and secure the spot first."

Li Fan nodded.

"An island emerging from the seabed? Several Formation Masters from Ce Zhen Hall are all on the island? Have they discovered some Sect ruins?" Li Fan followed He Zhenghao towards a tree-like teleportation Formation, asking at the same time.

He Zhenghao shook his head: "It's not some Sect ruins, just an ordinary island."

"More than three thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, the entire island sank into the ocean. Now, it has resurfaced."

"The strange thing is that this island seems to have originally been a Town Guardian island of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but there are no records of it. The island's Protector Array was reactivated after the island surfaced."

"And the Protector Array at that time was very different from what it is now. So, several Formation Masters from Ce Zhen Hall have all gone to watch the excitement."

He Zhenghao explained.

Through the teleportation Formation, the two arrived at a huge island that resembled a primeval forest, filled with various trees.

This place was more than ten times larger than Liuli Island.

"Five hundred li west of Lingmu Island is where that island is located."

Li Fan and He Zhenghao conversed as they flew towards their destination.

"Could it be that the Formations from a thousand years ago were even more powerful than they are now? Why would several Formation Masters specifically go to observe them?" Li Fan asked the doubt in his heart.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist, you don't know. The defensive Great Arrays commonly used in our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are not immutable."

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has always been at odds with the Five Old Men Association. If a fixed Formation were to remain unchanged for over a hundred years, it would inevitably lead to leaks and the possibility of being easily broken on a large scale."

"Therefore, the defensive Great Arrays undergo a minor change every two hundred years and a major change every thousand years."

"A minor change refers to the underlying logic of the Formation remaining unchanged, with only subtle adjustments to its layout."

"A major change, however, means completely rebuilding a whole new set of Formations."

"The previous set of Formations would then be sealed away and no longer used."

He Zhenghao slowly explained.

"So, the three-thousand-year-old defensive Formation operating on that island is a rare treasure. Its power is average, but those skilled in Formations can infer the corresponding Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array from the subtle details."

Li Fan was stunned when he heard this: "The corresponding Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array?"

He Zhenghao hesitated for a moment, then quietly explained: "This Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array doesn't refer to the Ten Thousand Immortals Array on Wanxian Island. Instead, it refers to the true Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array that is amplified and formed within a single province, using the defensive Formations of all cities and islands as nodes, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Array of the central island or Lingtian City as the core."

"Once this Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array is truly and fully activated, covering an entire province, its power is unimaginable. It is said to have the battle record of slaying a Combined Dao Immortal."

"However, the resources it consumes are also extremely vast, and it can only be activated with the permission of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters."

"It is generally only used when the Five Old Men Association invades and a great war occurs."

Li Fan had also just begun to grasp the basics of Formations, and at this moment, imagining that scene in his mind, he couldn't help but gasp.

"No wonder the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance goes to such great lengths to build defensive Great Arrays in most cities within its territory."

"So there was this additional consideration."

Just then, He Zhenghao chuckled and said: "We've also had private speculations. I'm afraid this isn't the complete form of the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array. The truly immense Formation that covers all the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's territory, using the fully activated Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array of each province as a node, that is the true form of the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array."

"However, this is purely our idle conjecture. That kind of Formation is too terrifying. Once activated, I'm afraid the entire Cultivation World would suffer immense destruction."

Li Fan fell silent after listening.

"Judging by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's modus operandi, this ultimate form of the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array must exist."

"And the Xuanhuang World, despite being almost divided between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association, can still maintain superficial peace. Besides those few Chang Sheng Tian Zun who appear and disappear like a Dragon, the existence of this ultimate Ten Thousand Immortals Array is probably a crucial factor."

After Li Fan fell into deep thought, the two journeyed in silence.

Not long after, the sunken and resurfaced island was already in sight.

From a distance, Li Fan could sense that the island's dampness had not yet dissipated.

Most of the buildings on the island were largely intact.

However, after being submerged for a thousand years, the surfaces of the buildings were covered in seaweed and moss.

On the streets, countless fish, separated from the seawater, were jumping and struggling to survive.

Outside the island, Li Fan could vaguely see a golden Formation barrier.

"I wonder why this island sank three thousand years ago."

"And why has it suddenly resurfaced now?"
