Chapter 292: Series of Formations

Chapter 292: Series of Formations

After the absolute silence, there was a murmur as harsh as scraping metal that continuously echoed in Li Fan's ears.

It gradually subsided, turning into a lazy remark.

"Move forward after exiting the teleportation formation, don't block the way!"

Li Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his body.

While surveying the surroundings, he proceeded according to the instructions.

This place looked almost the same as the long-distance teleportation space on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, except that the brilliance of the sea of stars was several times stronger.

Furthermore, it was extremely lively. During the time Li Fan adjusted, two or three more cultivators arrived through teleportation.

Li Fan walked up to the cultivator who spoke.

This person was dressed in the standard black and yellow Daoist robe of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and casually handed over a pill, saying, "Take this Dust Cleansing Pill to relieve discomfort. Keep moving forward and undergo inspection! Next!"

Li Fan observed the pill for a moment but didn't take it, instead storing it in his storage ring.

Moving forward, he encountered a mirror emitting a faint light, suspended high in the air.

It looked identical to the Tianxuan Mirror in appearance.

Li Fan walked beneath the mirror and stood still.

Light scanned over his body, and after a moment, the familiar yet inhuman voice of the Tianxuan Mirror sounded in his ears.

"Cultivator Li Fan, welcome to Tianyu Province."

In the blink of an eye, the scenery changed.

When Li Fan came to his senses, he had already left the interior of the Immortal Ancestor statue and arrived at the Transmission Square.

The number of teleportation formations in the Transmission Square of Tianyu Province was several times higher than that on Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Not only were they connected to various cities within Tianyu Province, but they could also directly reach cities in the Tianchen, Tianshu, and Tianquan Provinces.

These four major provinces that guarded the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were interconnected.

What's more, as compared to other provinces, there were no mortals in these four provinces.

In each city, there were only cultivators residing.

Therefore, the total number of cultivators in these four Provinces far exceeded that of other regions.

After scanning through the information provided by Zhang Zhiliang's jade slip, Li Fan knew the destination of this trip.

It was the Huan Yu Courtyard in Tianyu City.

Unlike on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, where all the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance departments were crowded together, in Tianyu City, each department had its own separate residence.

Some of the more powerful ones, such as the Martial Hall, even had more than one location.

The Huan Yu Courtyard was a large courtyard belonging to the Formation Hall.

Li Fan navigated through Tianyu City according to the instructions in the jade slip.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the entrance of the Huan Yu Courtyard.

The gate was wide open, with no one guarding it.

Li Fan stepped inside and entered.

In the next moment, the air suddenly became scorching hot.

There was an endless desert as far as the eye could see.

Even the sand underfoot seemed to flow like water, silently shifting.

"The Endless Flowing Sand Formation..."

Li Fan remained calm, knowing that this was the first test upon entering the Huan Yu Courtyard.

With narrowed eyes, he surveyed the surroundings.

In Li Fan's eyes, the scenery of the surrounding yellow sand turned into a series of formation patterns in an instant.

The azure light in his sea of consciousness flickered slightly, and Li Fan quickly calculated the weaknesses of this Endless Flowing Sand Formation.

Instead of standing still while breaking the formation, he carefully moved to another area every period of time.

Shortly after he left each spot, sand vortexes appeared, engulfing everything.

After about the time it took an incense stick to burn, Li Fan finally found a way out of the formation.

After some more intermittent flying and stopping, he finally escaped from the Endless Flowing Sand Formation.

However, he still had not entered the Huan Yu Courtyard; what greeted Li Fan was another entirely new formation.

The Blackstone Flowing Fire Formation. 

Compared to the previous Endless Flowing Sand Formation, it was a bit more dangerous.

Li Fan wasn't sure if being trapped in this formation would lead to his death or if someone would come to rescue him.

At this moment, he mustered all his energy and proceeded with caution.

After nearly half a day, he finally broke out of the formation.

Following that, there were the Eight Gates Energy Sealing Formation, the Rain of Immortal Mist Formation, the Ethereal Soul-Capturing Formation...

These were all formations that had been mentioned and introduced in the jade slip that Zhang Zhiliang had provided.

Although he had studied them systematically before, Li Fan only realized the vast difference between theory and practice when he was truly trapped in these formations.

Fortunately, it seemed that these formations were not fully activated, and were used purely for testing purposes.

Although there were some challenges, Li Fan managed to break through each one.

After the last Ten Square Hope-Erasing Formation was broken, Li Fan finally arrived in a safe space.

This place was very similar to where Zhang Zhiliang had taught him before, and there was a young cultivator dressed in white waiting there.

"Li Fan, from the Cong Yun Sea."

"Total time spent breaking the formations, one day and six hours."

"Slightly below average performance."

"No rest during the process of breaking the formations, and no signs of fatigue after completion."

"Resilient mental state, can be rated as superior."

"Hmm..."

"In general, above average!"

The cultivator in white muttered to himself, and as he spoke, a silver token appeared out of thin air in front of Li Fan.

"This token will serve as your identification during your time in the Huan Yu Courtyard. Keep it safe and don't lose it."

"Notifications and distribution of related materials are all done through this token."

"You can rest for now. When all the trainees have gathered, you will be notified!"

The cultivator in white instructed.

Li Fan put away the silver token and thanked the cultivator in white before asking, "May I know how to address you, senior?"

The cultivator in white smiled and said, "Ji Hongdao of Tianyu Province. You may go now!"

With that, he waved his hand, and a burst of light emanated from the silver token, enveloping Li Fan.

When the silver light disappeared, Li Fan had already appeared in a small courtyard.

The courtyard was not large but exquisitely decorated.

In the center was a lake, but it could be transformed into different scenes such as mountain peaks, desolate deserts, or vast oceans at will through the token.

After adjusting it, Li Fan found that this was not just an illusion but a tangible existence that he could physically enter.

It was as if another space had been embedded within.

Li Fan couldn't help but marvel at the extravagance of the Huan Yu Courtyard.

Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the concentration of spiritual energy in the small courtyard was also astonishingly high.

Following the flow of spiritual energy, Li Fan found a small Tianxuan Mirror in the room of the source.

It was not much different from the ones commonly seen in cities in various provinces, providing basic functions such as inquiries and transactions, and assisting in cultivation.

What astonished and excited Li Fan the most was that, in this courtyard, the use of assisted cultivation was completely free.

Although he didn't lack contribution points at the moment, who could resist the joy of free benefits?

Without hesitation, Li Fan entered the state of enlightenment.

"It's a pity that it's only special treatment during this training period, and is not permanent. Otherwise, I could squat here for a lifetime."

"The center of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is indeed luxurious. It is far beyond the Cong Yun Sea."

"No wonder countless cultivators are fighting just to come here."

"By taking advantage of public resources for private ends, I can save a considerable amount without even realizing it."

Li Fan couldn't help but sigh.
