Chapter 500

The name of Li Fan was one that everyone had heard of.

However, very few people knew that he had been appointed as the acting Island lord.

Thus, when they received the notification, everyone was taken aback.

Then, a sense of dissatisfaction grew in their hearts.

Although Master Li had the ability to deduce the workings of fate, at the end of the day, he was only at the Golden Core stage. There were many Nascent Soul cultivators who had survived in the Congyun Sea, so why was he made the Island lord?

The public knew that Li Fan was quite wealthy—could he have bought his way into this position?

And with such high profile behavior, organizing a grand reconstruction ceremony...

Various thoughts surged through their minds.

However, regardless of their thoughts, the position of acting Island lord was issued and certified by the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Even if some held disdain in their hearts, they dared not defy the order.

So, most people awaited the day with a sense of curiosity, ready to see what would happen.

Soon, seven days passed, and the cultivators of the Congyun Sea gathered at the old site of the Ten Thousand Immortal Island.

Even some who were not part of the formal system heard the news and came to join in the excitement.

As people conversed with each other, they gazed at the bottomless black hole in the sea, reminiscing about the past events of Ten Thousand Immortal Island, feeling deeply moved.

As time passed, more and more cultivators arrived to witness the ceremony.

But Li Fan, the star of the event, was still nowhere to be seen.

Naturally, this stirred some murmurs among the crowd.

At that moment, a beam of light flew in from the distance, catching everyone's attention.

“To congratulate Daoist Li Fan on his appointment as acting Island Lord of Ten Thousand Immortal Island, (Oracle)-Shen Yuzi of Tianyun Prefecture presents a scroll of the 'Tianyun Pill Scripture' as a token of goodwill!”

A handsome boy, holding a dust whisk, floated in the air above the crowd and announced this.

He tossed the scroll upwards, and as the crowd gasped in awe, the scroll expanded into a long dragon-like figure, spiraling through the sky.

Seven-colored light continuously radiated from the scroll, and then, in front of everyone, the 'Tianyun Pill Scripture' disappeared.

The boy bowed slightly toward the void, ignoring the crowd below, and turned into a beam of light, flying off into the distance.

“Fellow Daoists, look quickly! Doesn’t this place seem different from before?”

“Of course! It's said that the Tianyun Pill Scripture can gather luck and change one's fate. With this treasure's blessing, the reconstruction of the immortal city is bound to succeed!”

“Wow... But who is this Shen Yuzi? Such a precious treasure, and he gave it away so casually?”

The onlookers started discussing excitedly.

Before they could calm down, another beam of light came from the horizon.

“To congratulate... Daoist Jingxuan of Tianyun Prefecture presents the 'Sea-Calming Azure Bull' as a token of goodwill!”

A young Daoist appeared before the crowd, leading a blue ox.

The ox let out a soft cry, and its body instantly grew to the size of a massive mountain.

“Moo!”

Its cry echoed across the Congyun Sea, transforming into green light that spread out to the farthest corners of the sea.

“Such a grand gesture! With this treasure, the Congyun Sea will be calm for at least three years!” A knowledgeable cultivator couldn't help but exclaim.

“And what’s the relationship between Daoist Jingxuan and Island Lord Li?”

As the crowd was filled with surprise and curiosity, more beams of light continued to arrive, delivering various gifts.

Guangwu from Tianquan Prefecture, Huangfu Song from Tianyu Prefecture...

These were all powerful cultivators from the core regions of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

“At the very least, these people are at the Soul Transformation stage...” After some investigation, the cultivators present couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.

“It seems that our Island Lord has some deep connections. No wonder he was entrusted with this position, despite only being at the Golden Core stage.”

“Not necessarily. These people didn’t show up in person; they just sent subordinates to deliver gifts. Maybe our Island Lord paid for them to come and put on a show!” However, there were still those who remained skeptical.

As the continuous flow of gifts gradually subsided, the crowd began to think that Li Fan would soon make his appearance.

Suddenly, a magnificent flying ship broke through the sky.

Thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators cleared the way, as a young cultivator with sharp features and an extraordinary aura, dressed in white, slowly descended.

“Tianshu Prefecture’s Tantai Can congratulates Island Lord Li Fan!”

The thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators spoke in unison, their voices reverberating through the air.

This sight left the cultivators of Congyun Sea completely speechless.

“Tantai Can? From the Tantai clan?!”

Those familiar with the Tantai clan's background were utterly shocked.

Even those who didn’t know who Tantai Can was were awestruck by the spectacle of thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators leading the way.

From a distant skyship, Zhou Kebao stood up in disbelief as he witnessed the scene unfold.

“Tantai Can? Why is he here?” His eyes were filled with confusion. “This doesn’t make any sense!”

After a long pause, a flash of fear crossed Zhou Kebao’s face.

“Could it be that this is all part of a bigger plot?”

With growing unease, Zhou Kebao quickly took out a communication talisman to inform his allies of the sudden development.

...

With Tantai Can's arrival, the atmosphere reached its peak.

At this point, it was time for Li Fan to finally appear.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Loud booming sounds echoed from the distance, as if a colossal beast from ancient times was rapidly approaching.

“Look over there! What is that?” A sharp-eyed cultivator noticed something unusual in the direction of the noise.

A towering stone giant appeared on the horizon.

Standing in the middle of the Congyun Sea, the water barely reached its lower legs.

Despite its massive size, the stone giant moved with astonishing speed.

Crossing the sea in just a few steps, it caused tremors throughout the Congyun Sea with each step.

In no time, the stone giant had arrived at the old site of Ten Thousand Immortal Island.

The cultivators, unsure of what was happening, assumed it was a sneak attack by the Five Elders Association and immediately tensed up.

Sensing the immense aura radiating from the stone giant, their faces turned pale.

“A peak Soul Transformation cultivator?”

As the stone giant drew closer, the overwhelming pressure caused some cultivators to pull out their magical artifacts in preparation.

At that moment, led by Gao Yuan, He Zhenghao, and Zhou Qingang, over a hundred cultivators flew out in perfect synchronization, as if they had rehearsed this many times.

They all bowed toward the massive stone giant. “Welcome, Island Lord!”

“Hahaha, no need for such formalities!” A hearty laugh rang out from atop the giant's head.

Only then did the crowd realize that a cultivator stood atop the head of the Soul Transformation-stage stone giant.

That cultivator was none other than Li Fan!

To have a Soul Transformation True Monarch willingly let a Golden Core cultivator stand on his head...

This was definitely not something that could be achieved with mere contributions.

The fact that powerful cultivators from the core of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would help him, and even Soul Transformation cultivators would bow to him...

Just what kind of background did Island Lord Li Fan have?

Even the usually calm Tantai Can, who had maintained a composed expression throughout, now showed a flicker of emotion in his eyes as he gazed at Li Fan from above.
