第二百九十章 入门连环阵

In absolute silence, the sharp sound of a metal scraping passed through his ears, echoing continuously.

Finally, it gradually subsided into a lazy voice.

"Finish your transmission and move forward. Don't block the path!"

Li Fan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body.

He sized up his surroundings while following the instructions to proceed.

This place looked similar to the long-distance teleportation space on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, but the brilliance of the background star sea was several times stronger. And it was incredibly lively; during Li Fan's adjustment period, another two or three cultivators had arrived by transmission.

Li Fan approached the cultivator who spoke.

This person wore a black and yellow robe from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and casually handed over a pill: "Purification Body Dust-Parting Pill. After swallowing it, you can alleviate any discomfort. Move forward to undergo inspection! Next!"

Li Fan took the pill and observed it for a moment before putting it away in his storage ring.

Further ahead was a mirror with a faint glow hanging high above.

It looked identical to the Heavenly Virtue Mirror.

Li Fan walked under the mirror and stood still slightly.

The light swept over him, and after a moment, the familiar yet strange voice of the Heavenly Virtue Mirror echoed in Li Fan's ears.

"Welcome cultivator Li Fan to Tianyu Prefecture."

Before he could react, the scenery changed.

When Li Fan regained his senses, he was no longer inside the Venerable Figure statue but on the transmission square of Tianyu City.

The number of transmission arrays in Tianyu City far exceeded that of Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Not only did they connect to various cities within Tianyu Prefecture, but they could also reach cities under the jurisdictions of Heavenly辰, Heavenly枢, and Heavenly权 Prefectures.

These four prefectures, which guarded the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, seemed to form a cohesive whole.

What made them different was that there were no ordinary people living in these prefectures. Each city housed only cultivators, making their overall number of cultivators far greater than other regions.

With his divine sense scanning through the jade slip given by Zhang Zhiliang, Li Fan knew where he was headed: the Heavenly Yu Courtyard within Tianyu City.

Unlike on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, all organizations of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were concentrated in one place here. Each department had its own separate premises. Some, like the Martial Arts Hall, even had more than one location.

The Heavenly Yu Courtyard was a large courtyard belonging to the Strategy Array Hall. Following the information on the jade slip, Li Fan navigated through Tianyu City.

After not long, he arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Yu Courtyard.

The door was open and unguarded.

Li Fan stepped in with one foot.

In an instant, the air grew hot.

Before his eyes were endless deserts stretching endlessly. The sand beneath his feet seemed to flow like water, quietly shifting.

"Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array..."

Li Fan remained calm; he knew this was the first test upon entering the Heavenly Yu Courtyard.

He narrowed his eyes and surveyed the surroundings.

In Li Fan's eyes, the endless yellow sands transformed into array formations. The blue light from the Dao Stone in his识海 flickered as he rapidly calculated the weaknesses of the [Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array].

While breaking through the array, he didn't stand still but carefully moved to a new spot every so often.

Soon after he left, sand vortexes appeared at his previous location, swallowing everything.

After about an hour, Li Fan finally found a way out of the Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array.

He flew and landed, finally escaping from the array.

However, he did not enter the interior of the Heavenly Yu Courtyard. Another new array awaited him: [Black Stone Flowing Fire Array].

This was more perilous than the previous Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array.

Li Fan wasn't sure if he would perish or be rescued if he fell into this array. He focused his energy and carefully faced it.

After a few hours, he broke through the array.

Following were [Eight Doors Closing Breath Array], [Rainy Smoke Landing Immortal Array], [Virtuous Spirit Soul Capturing Array]...

These arrays had been mentioned in Zhang Zhiliang's fragmentary jade slip. Although Li Fan had learned about them theoretically, he realized how much of a gap there was between theory and practice when truly facing an array.

Fortunately, these arrays seemed not fully activated; they were merely tests. Despite the chaos, Li Fan managed to break through each one.

After breaking through the final [All Directions Subtle Array], Li Fan finally arrived in a safe space.

This place resembled where Zhang Zhiliang had taught his classes. A young cultivator wearing white was waiting there.

"Li Fan from Cloudy Sea."

"The total time taken to break all arrays is one day and six hours."

"The grade is average."

"You did not take any breaks during the array breaking process, and you showed no signs of fatigue after it ended."

"Your mental resilience is commendable; your evaluation is excellent."

"Hmm..."

"Overall evaluation: above average!"

The white-clothed cultivator muttered as a silver jade token appeared before Li Fan.

"This token serves as your identity proof during this period in the Heavenly Yu Courtyard. Keep it well, and do not lose it."

"All notifications and distribution of supplies will be handled through this token."

"You may go rest now. You will be notified once all trainees are present!"

The white-clothed cultivator instructed.

Li Fan put away the silver token and bowed in gratitude before asking, "May I ask your name?"

The white-clothed cultivator smiled: "This is Ji Hong Dao of Tianyu Prefecture. Go now!"

He waved his hand, and a burst of light from the silver token enveloped Li Fan.

When the silver light vanished, Li Fan found himself in a small courtyard.

Though not large, it was decorated with great care. The central area, originally a lake and rock formation, could be transformed into mountain ranges, cloud seas, desolate deserts, or vast oceans through the token's control.

Li Fan discovered that this wasn't just an illusion; he could actually fly into these scenes and experience them firsthand, as if they were real spaces embedded within. He couldn't help but marvel at the luxury of the Heavenly Yu Courtyard.

The scenery was beautiful, and the concentration of qi in the courtyard was astonishingly high. Following the flow of qi, Li Fan found a small Heavenly Virtue Mirror in one room. It differed little from those commonly seen in various cities, providing basic functions like queries and transactions, even enabling auxiliary cultivation modes.

What amazed and excited Li Fan most was that using the auxiliary cultivation function here was completely free.

Although he didn't lack contribution points now, who could resist the joy of freebies?

Without hesitation, Li Fan entered a state of enlightenment.

"Unfortunately, this is just a special perk during training. Otherwise, I could stay here forever."

"The wealth and resources in the heart of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are truly generous. Cloudy Sea can't compare."

"No wonder countless cultivators fight for a spot here."

"Just a little bit of personal gain, and you might save so much resource."

Li Fan couldn't help but感慨.
