Congratulations to the island master Li
Everyone had heard of Li Fan's name.
However, only a very few knew about his appointment as acting island master.
So when they received the message, everyone was stunned.
Then they felt unconvinced.
Although you, Great Master Li, have the ability to deduce the heavenly mechanisms, you are only at the Golden Core stage. There are many surviving Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Congyun Sea. Why should you be the island master?
Everyone knows Li Fan is wealthy. Could it be that he bought his way up?
And he's so high-profile, organizing a reconstruction ceremony…
Various thoughts stirred.
But regardless, the position of acting island master was issued and certified by the Myriad Immortals Alliance Headquarters. Even if these people felt some disdain, they dared not disobey.
So most people adopted a wait-and-see attitude, anticipating the day's arrival.
Soon, seven days passed, and a group of Cultivators from the Congyun Sea gathered at the former site of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Even some who were not members of the organization heard about it and came to join the excitement.
Everyone chatted, gazing at the bottomless black hole in the sea, recalling the past of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, all filled with emotion.
As time passed, more and more Cultivators came to observe the ceremony.
But the main figure, Li Fan, never appeared.
Thus, some murmurs arose among the crowd.
Just then, a beam of light flew from afar, attracting everyone's attention.
"To celebrate Fellow Daoist Li Fan's promotion to acting island master of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the Divine Oracle of Tianyun State specially presents a scroll of [Tianyun Alchemy Scripture] as a token of appreciation!"
The light stopped above the crowd, revealing a handsome young acolyte.
Holding a whisk, he sang out loudly and tossed a scroll upward.
The scroll grew with the wind, and amidst the exclamations of the onlookers, it instantly transformed into a long dragon, spiraling in the sky.
Seven-colored radiance continuously bloomed from the scroll, and then the [Tianyun Alchemy Scripture] vanished before everyone's eyes.
The acolyte bowed slightly toward the void, then ignored the crowd below and flew away as a beam of light.
"Fellow Daoists, look! I feel something is different here compared to before!"
"Of course. It is said that the [Tianyun Alchemy Scripture] can凝聚气运,逆天改命. With such a treasure blessing, this immortal city reconstruction will surely succeed!"
"Hiss… Who is this Divine Oracle? To casually give away such a treasure?"
The Cultivators present discussed animatedly.
But before they could calm down, another beam of light arrived from the horizon.
"To celebrate…"
"Jing Xuan of Tianyun State specially presents [Sea-Calming Azure Ox] as a token of appreciation!"
A young Daoist, leading an azure ox, appeared before the crowd.
The azure ox gave a soft cry, expanded its form, and its body instantly became as vast as连绵山岳.
"Moo!"
The ox's cry resounded across the Congyun Sea, then turned into a blue light that scattered in all directions across the sea.
"Hiss! Such a generous gift! With this treasure, the Congyun Sea can be guaranteed calm for at least three years!" exclaimed a knowledgeable Cultivator.
"What is the relationship between this Jing Xuan and Island Master Li Fan?"
Amidst the crowd's astonishment, several more beams of light arrived one after another, bringing various congratulatory gifts.
Guangwu of Tianquan State, Huangfu Song of Tianyu State…
All were powerful Cultivators from the heart of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
"These people are at least at the Soul Transformation stage…" After some investigation, the Cultivators present couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
"It seems our island master has deep connections. No wonder he can bear such a responsibility at the Golden Core stage."
"Not necessarily. These people didn't come in person; they only sent subordinates to deliver gifts. It's possible our island master paid them to show face, putting up a front!" However, some still held differing opinions.
Amidst continuous discussions, the stream of gift-bearing lights gradually subsided.
Just as everyone thought Island Master Li Fan was about to appear, a magnificent spaceship broke through the air.
Thirty-six Nascent Soul Cultivators cleared the way, and a young Cultivator in white robes, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary, slowly descended.
"Tantai Can of Tianshu State congratulates Island Master Li Fan!"
The thirty-six Nascent Soul Cultivators declared in unison.
The Cultivators of the Congyun Sea were stunned into silence.
"Tantai Can? The Tantai Family!"
Those who knew the Tantai Family's background were deeply shaken.
And even those who didn't know who Tantai Can was were shocked speechless by the sight of thirty-six Nascent Soul Cultivators clearing the way.
Zhou Kebao, watching from the Dust-Crossing Boat far in the sky, stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.
"Tantai Can? Why is he here?" His eyes were filled with confusion. "It doesn't make sense at all?"
After a long while, a trace of horror flashed across Zhou Kebao's face.
"Could it be that they've joined forces to set a trap?"
In shock and uncertainty, Zhou Kebao took out a communication talisman and hurriedly reported this unexpected situation to his accomplices.
…
With Tantai Can's appearance, the atmosphere reached its Peak.
Now it was time for Li Fan to appear.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Huge rumbling sounds came from afar, as if some primordial beast was approaching rapidly.
"Look! What is that!" A sharp-eyed Cultivator noticed something unusual in the direction of the sound.
A colossal stone giant, standing tall between heaven and earth, appeared at the horizon.
It stood in the Congyun Sea, the water only reaching halfway up its calves.
Though its body was enormous, it moved very fast.
Crossing the sea, each step caused tremors in the Congyun Sea.
In the blink of an eye, the stone giant had approached the former site of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
The bewildered Cultivators, thinking it was another attack by the Five Elders Association, became tense.
Sensing the aura emanating from the colossal stone giant, the Cultivators' faces all turned pale.
"Peak Soul Transformation?"
As the stone giant drew closer, under immense pressure, some Cultivators couldn't help but pull out their Magic Treasures for defense.
Just then, led by Gao Yuan, He Zhenghao, and Zhou Qingang, over a hundred Cultivators, as if rehearsed a hundred times, flew out in unison.
They bowed to the colossal stone giant: "Welcome, Island Master!"
"Haha, no need for formalities!" A cheerful laugh came from atop the stone giant's head.
Only then did the crowd see that there was actually a Cultivator standing on the head of this Soul Transformation stage stone giant!
And that person was Li Fan!
A dignified Spirit Transformation Immortal Lord allowed Li Fan, a Golden Core Cultivator, to stand on its head.
This was absolutely not something that could be achieved with Contribution Points.
To be able to invite a group of Cultivators from the heart of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, and even have a Soul Transformation Cultivator willingly be stepped on.
What background does Island Master Li Fan have?
Not to mention the Cultivators of the Congyun Sea present, even Tantai Can, who had remained calm on the flying boat, showed a ripple in his eyes as he looked at Li Fan above.
There's another chapter coming later. Don't wait. I'm stuck on the writing.
