My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 523 – Rebuilding Ten Thousand Immortals Island

Chapter 523: Chapter 495: Rebuilding Ten Thousand Immortals Island

“Misthaven Ocean, Luoyan State, Deep Abyss of Cangwu, Qianling State…”

Prince Jinglun began to mention some place names that were either familiar or unfamiliar to Li Fan.

“The reasons behind the existence of these places are that the [Gateway to the Shadow Realm] exists in each one.”

“There is still no definitive understanding of the essence of the Gateway to the Shadow Realm. But according to our research, if it is left exposed, the number of strange incidents in that region will sharply increase.”

“So, it is necessary to suppress them with the Mystic Sky Phantom Locking Array.”

Li Fan received an answer from Prince Jinglun that was completely unexpected.

“When Ten Thousand Immortals Island still existed, we were unable to discover this Gateway beneath the island. Only from the report of the Hall of Celestial Mysteries of the Misthaven Sea, we deduced that such an anomaly must exist here.”

“Who would have thought that it would be beneath the preaching ground of the Celestial Dharma Bearer from the ancient times.”

“Even the slightest remnants of the Celestial Powers, despite the passing of thousands of years, could effectively seal the Gateway. But now that Ten Thousand Immortals Island is gone, this Gateway to the Shadow Realm must be sealed off.”

“The existence of these anomalies is not a secret. However, few people know that anomalies can also spread. To prevent panic and ensure the stability of the Immortal Alliance, they need to be kept strictly confidential.”

Prince Jinglun spoke unhurriedly.

“So that’s why all the secrecy?” Li Fan was surprised that the seemingly odd request was related to the widespread anomalies in the world. He couldn’t help but be at a loss for words.

“Is this the reason? ” Prince Jinglun gave Li Fan a cold glance.

“Master Li, do not underestimate these anomalies. They are not as easy to deal with as you might think.”

His tone hinted at more, but he didn’t elaborate further.

Li Fan, upon hearing this, stopped the contempt on his face and nodded slightly.

He then changed the subject and asked, “So why did I suddenly get appointed as the acting Master of the Island? This Misthaven Ocean …”

Prince Jinglun interrupted Li Fan’s question, slowly shaking his head. “It seems that in the ancient times, sects were plagued by excessive intrigue. Master Li, you are overly suspicious.”

“Rest assured, everything is being handled in accordance with the proper procedures.”

“According to the provisions passed down since ancient times, when the organizational structure of the Immortal Alliance in a certain region is completely destroyed, the highest-ranking surviving cultivator from that region will automatically assume the first administrative position.”

“If there are several cultivators of the same rank, the position will be decided based on their combat abilities.”

“You, my friend, have slain four Nascent Souls. Although you claim it was with extraneous help, such excuses may fool others but not the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

“We have an absolutely detailed and accurate assessment of the lethality of every item sold in the Tianxuan Mirror.”

“Although it can indeed slay a Nascent Soul using a Gold Core, it is absolutely impossible to do so as cleanly and tracelessly as you did.”

“Among the surviving cultivators of Misthaven Ocean, you are the most powerful. Who else but you should be the acting Master?”

Prince Jinglun looked at Li Fan with a smile that was not quite a smile as he replied.

Li Fan was slightly somber, but on his face, he displayed an embarrassment that was alternating between shades of green and white.

“So it seems I overthought.”

“In that case, I accept this responsibility!”

He said openly.

No matter how true or false the words of Prince Jinglun were, if Li Fan refused now, he might never leave this room.

Seeing Li Fan behaving sensibly, Prince Jinglun nodded satisfactorily.

“The blockade of Misthaven Ocean will remain in place until the Misthaven Elysian City is built.”

“Of course, the headquarters will also send appropriate cultivators to assist with the reconstruction of Misthaven Ocean.”

“However, due to certain reasons, there will not be many. Only in a few special aspects, like the Long-Distance Teleportation Array, there will be a small amount of support.”

“The most vital part has to be done by you.”

“I will also assign a deputy to assist you in the reconstruction of the immortal city.”

“The materials required for the construction project, you can ask him for them.”

“The list of relevant materials will be sent to you later. What you most need to do is to coordinate and plan the surviving cultivators of Misthaven Ocean, guiding and supervising them to rebuild Misthaven City as soon as possible.”

…

It was only after Prince Jinglun had given his instructions that Li Fan was allowed to leave.

Afterwards, a cultivator named Zhou Kebao found Li Fan and brought the approved list of materials.

“Master Li, this is the detailed list of materials approved for the project, please review it,” the chubby Zhou Kebao said with a smile.

Li Fan took the list and looked at it carefully.

There was such a long list of details that even a cursory glance took quite some time.

All sorts of items, some familiar, some not, were listed, which was a bit overwhelming.

Only the names were marked, without any explanation of the actual purposes.

It was all rather confusing.

In all other areas, Li Fan was a layman.

But when it came to Array Techniques, they couldn’t escape Li Fan’s scrutiny.

One of the most important functions of Misthaven Elysian City is to link the Teleportation Array nodes everywhere.

Including the Long-Distance Teleportation Array, there were originally 11,687 Teleportation Arrays in Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Li Fan located the special stone required to construct the Teleportation Array, the [Xuankong Stone], in the list. Based on the amount listed, he started counting.

A short while later, Li Fan indeed found a discrepancy.

If the materials listed on this list were used, they wouldn’t even be sufficient to construct all the small-scale Teleportation Arrays, let alone the Long-Distance Teleportation Array.

Li Fan’s face immediately darkened: “Brother Zhou, is there a mistake in your list? Could you check again?”

Naked murderous intent spilled from his eyes, completely unconcealed.

Zhou Kebao was taken aback for a moment, then took the list and looked it over again.

As he went over the list, he mumbled: “A mistake? That’s impossible…Could it be that Master Li…”

Before he could finish, he heard Li Fan say coldly: “Brother Zhou, you must remember that I made a promise to Prince Jinglun.”

“If I cannot complete the task on time, I’m afraid the consequences would not be too pleasant.”

“I am someone who holds grudges.”

“If there’s no hope of completing the task, I wouldn’t mind making those who are sabotaging me pay, even if it means mutual destruction!”

Zhou Kebao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hastily said: “Master Li, don’t be so agitated, I’ll check it again!”

After saying this, he hurriedly left without daring to look at Li Fan again.

Li Fan huffed coldly and waited with his eyes closed.

After what felt like half a day, Zhou Kebao appeared before him with a brand-new list.

“Hehe, Master Li truly has a sharp eye! There was indeed a mistake!”

“The previous list was just a preliminary budget. It is true that compared to the final list, some materials were missing.”

Li Fan took the new list and saw that the quantity of materials was actually more than half as much as the previous one.
