After absolute silence, a sharp sound echoed in his ears as if metal was sliding past.
Eventually, it slowly subsided, transforming into a languid sentence.
“Those who have completed the Teleportation Array, move forward, and do not obstruct the path!”
Li Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the discomfort within his body.
While observing his surroundings, he moved forward as per the order.
The place didn’t look much different from the super-distance teleportation space on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, except the Star Sea in the background was several times brighter.
Moreover, it was bustling with activity. During the time, Li Fan was adjusting, two or three cultivators teleported in.
Li Fan walked up to the cultivator who had spoken.
The man was wearing the standard black-yellow Taoist robe of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and he casually handed over an Elixir saying, “This is the Pill of Bodily Purification. Consuming it can relieve discomfort. Move forward for inspection! Next!”
Li Fan received the Elixir, inspected it momentarily, but did not take it; instead, he stored it in his Storage Ring.
Moving forward was a mirror emanating a faint glow, suspended in mid-air.
Externally, it looked identical to the Tianxuan Mirror.
Li Fan stood still underneath the mirror.
A radiance swept over him, and moments later, the familiar yet strange voice of the Tianxuan Mirror echoed in Li Fan’s ears.
“Cultivator Li Fan, welcome to Tianyu Province.”
The scenery flashed before his eyes, and when Li Fan came back to his senses, he had left the Celestial Respected Figure’s interior and was standing on the Law Transmission Square.
The number of Teleportation Arrays on Tianyu Province Square was several times higher than those on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
They not only connected various cities within Tianyu Province but could even reach the cities under the jurisdictions of Tianchen, Tianshu, Tianquan.
The Four Big States, which guarded the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals headquarters, were somewhat interconnected.
Moreover, unlike other states, these Four States did not have any mortals.
In every city, the inhabitants were cultivators.
Therefore, the overall number of cultivators in these Four States far surpassed other regions.
Browsing the Jade Scroll given by Zhang Zhiliang with his spiritual sense, Li Fan knew his destination.
The Universal Courtyard in Tianyu City.
Unlike the crowded Immortal Alliance organizations on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, in Tianyu City, each department had its separate base.
Some of the more assertive ones, like the Martial Arts Battle Hall, even had more than one location.
The Universal Courtyard was a large courtyard belonging to the Array Strategy Hall.
Based on guidance from the Jade Scroll, Li Fan weaved his path through Tianyu City.
It didn’t take long before he arrived at the entrance of the Universal Courtyard.
The gate was wide open with no one in sight.
Li Fan stepped forward and walked in.
The next second, the air suddenly heated up.
Beyond his vision lay an endless desert that stretched out to the horizon.
The sand beneath his feet felt as though it was flowing like water.
“Boundless Sand Array…”
There was no panic in Li Fan’s heart. He knew that this was the first test of entering the Universal Courtyard.
His eyes slightly squinted as he looked around.
In Li Fan’s perspective, the surrounding scenes of sandstorms quickly transformed into Array Techniques.
A faint blue light emanated from the Huadao Stone in his sea of consciousness, as Li Fan rapidly calculated the flaws in [Boundless Sand Array].
While breaking the Array, he didn’t remain stationary, but every now and then, he carefully levitated to a new standing point.
Shortly after he left, a whirlpool of sand appeared at his original location, engulfing everything.
After a stick of incense’s period, Li Fan finally found a way to break through the array.
Flying and stopping intermittently, he finally escaped the Boundless Sand Array.
Yet, he still hadn’t entered the interior of the Universal Courtyard. And what welcomed Li Fan was another entirely new Array Technique.
[Flowing Fire Array of the Black Stone].
Compared to the previous Boundless Sand Array, it is more dangerous.
Li Fan wasn’t sure if falling into this array would result in death or if someone would come to his rescue.
At this point, he sharpened his focus to the utmost, handling it carefully.
Half a day later, he broke out of the array.
After that, in turn, were [Eight Gates Sealing Breath Formation], [Mist and Rain Immortal Descending Array], [Ethereal Spirit Soul-Harvesting Array]…
All these were array techniques that Zhang Zhiliang had mentioned and explained in the Soul Partition Jade Scroll.
Although he had learned them systematically, it wasn’t until Li Fan fell deep into the array that he understood how large the gap was between theory and practice.
Fortunately, these array techniques did not seem to be fully activated, but were purely for testing purposes.
Though somewhat disheveled, Li Fan managed to break through them all.
After the last [Array of the Ten Directions] was broken through, Li Fan finally arrived at a safe space.
This place looked very similar to where Zhang Zhiliang had taught him, and a young cultivator in white clothes was waiting there.
“Li Fan, from Misthaven Ocean.”
“Total time to break through the arrays is one day and six hours.”
“The result is middle to lower.”
“He did not rest during the process of breaking through the array, and he didn’t show any signs of fatigue after finishing.”
“His spirit is tenacious, can be rated as excellent.”
“Hmm…”
“Overall score, upper to lower!”
A silver jade badge appeared in front of Li Fan as the cultivator in white murmured.
“This badge is proof of your identity in the Universal Academy during this period. Keep it safe and do not lose it.”
“Notification delivery and distribution of relevant supplies will be conducted through this badge.”
“You can rest now. We will notify you when all trainees have arrived!”
The cultivator in white instructed.
Li Fan put away the silver badge and thanked the cultivator in white with a bow.
He then asked, “May I know senior’s name?”
The white-clothed cultivator chuckled, “Tianyu Province’s Ji Hongdao. Carry on!”
As he said this and waved his hand, the silver badge erupted with a bright light, enveloping Li Fan.
When the silver radiance had disappeared, Li Fan found himself in a small courtyard.
The courtyard was small but was decorated exquisitely.
The central area was a lake and rockery, but through the badge, it could be transformed into different landscapes like a mountain peak and the cloud sea, a barren Gobi desert, or the vast Great Ocean.
After trying to manipulate it, Li Fan found that it was not merely an illusion.
He could truly enter and exist there, as if another space was embedded within it.
Li Fan was astounded by the extravagance of the materials used in the Universal Academy.
Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the concentration of spiritual energy in this small yard was also startlingly high.
Following the flow of the spiritual energy, Li Fan found a small Tianxuan Mirror in the room at the source.
It was not much different from what was commonly seen in various states. It provided basic functions such as query and transaction, and it even had a practicing assistant mode.
What shocked and excited Li Fan the most was that, in this courtyard, the use of the practice assistance was free of charge.
Even though now he’s not lacking in contribution points, who could resist the pleasure of freeloading?
Without hesitation, Li Fan entered the enlightening state right away.
“It’s a pity that it is only a special treatment during training. Otherwise, I could squat here forever.”
“The Immortal Alliance hinterland is indeed extravagant. Misthaven Ocean can’t compare to it.”
“No wonder countless cultivators are rushing to get in here.”
“If I could just take advantage of this situation, I could save so many resources.”
Li Fan couldn’t help commenting.
