Chapter 526: Chapter 498: Congratulating Master Li
Everyone present had heard of the name, Li Fan.
However, only a very few of them were aware of his appointment as the acting island master.
Thus, when they received the message, everyone was caught off guard.
And subsequently, they felt a sense of dissatisfaction.
Even though Master Li has the ability to deduct the secrets of heaven, he is merely at the Golden Core Cultivation Level. In the Misthaven Sea, there are quite a number of surviving Nascent Soul Monks. So why should he be the one to become the island master?
Everyone knows that Li Fan is wealthy. Could it be that he bought his way into power?
And so high-profile, organizing some reconstruction ceremony….
All kinds of thoughts were racing through their minds.
However, regardless, the position of acting island master was handed down and recognized by the headquarters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Even if some of them looked down upon him, they didn’t dare to disobey the command.
Thus, most people waited for the day to arrive with a heart for watching a good show.
Sure enough, seven days passed, and all the Misthaven Sea cultivators gathered at the old site of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Even some who were not members of the system, having heard about this, came over to join in the excitement.
Everyone was reminiscing about the past of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, full of emotions, as they watched the endless abyss of the sea surface.
As time passed, more and more cultivators arrived for the ceremony.
But the person of interest, Li Fan, was nowhere to be seen.
Therefore, there were inevitably some discussions among the crowd.
Just at this moment, a radiance flew from afar, attracting everyone’s attention.
“In celebration of Fellow Daoist Li Fan’s appointment as the acting island master of the Ten Thousand Immortal Island, Oracle Son from Tianyun State sends his special gift, [Elixir Scripture of Divine Fortune], as a token of his regard!”
The radiance paused above the crowd, revealing a young Taoist with an elegant demeanor.
He held a duster, chanted aloud, and tossed a scroll upwards.
The scroll grew larger in the wind and in an instant transformed into a long dragon coiling in the sky amid the shocked exclamations of the observers.
A seven-colored radiance constantly burst out from the scroll, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the [Elixir Scripture of Divine Fortune] disappeared.
The Taoist slightly bowed towards the void, disregarded the crowd, transformed into a ray of light and flew away.
“Fellow cultivators, look carefully, don’t you feel something is different from before?”
“Of course! It’s said that this [Elixir Scripture of Divine Fortune] has the power of condensing luck and changing destiny. With such treasure blessing the reestablishment of the Immortal City, success is guaranteed!”
“Hiss… Who on earth is this Oracle Son? He casually gave away such a priceless treasure?”
The monks present discussed amongst themselves.
However, before they could calm down, another ray of light arrived from the horizon.
“In celebration…”
“From Tianyun State, Jingxuan Taoist specially gives away the [Ocean Conquer Sea Ox], as a token of his regard!”
A young Taoist, leading a blue ox, appeared before everyone.
The blue ox let out a soft sound, embodying the laws of Heaven and Earth, and its figure instantly expanded to the size of a mountain range.
“Moo!”
The ox’s call resounded throughout the Misthaven Sea, then transformed into a blue light, spreading to all directions of the sea.
“Hiss! What a grand gesture! With this treasure, the Misthaven Sea is guaranteed to be calm for at least three years!” A knowledgeable cultivator exclaimed loudly.
“What kind of relationship does this Jingxuan Taoist have with Island Master Li?”
While people were filled with doubts, several other radiations arrived one after another, bringing various gifts.
Guang Wu from Tianquan Province, Huang Fusong from Tianyu Province…
All of them were indeed powerful cultivators from the hinterland of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
“All of these people are at least at the level of God Transforming Cultivation Level…” After some probing, the cultivators present couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
“It seems that our Island Master has a deep background. No wonder he was able to take on this heavy responsibility with just a Golden Core Cultivation Level.”
“Not necessarily, these people haven’t truly shown up, just sending their subordinates to deliver their congratulations. It’s likely our island master has spent money to fabricate this, just putting on a show!” Nevertheless, some still held differing views.
Amidst the continuous discussion, the successive glimmers of gifts gradually subsided.
Just when everyone thought Li Fan, the island master, was about to show up, a grand flying ship tore through the sky.
Leading the way were thirty-six Nascent Soul Monks; a young cultivator wearing white, possessing striking eyebrows and star-like eyes, and extraordinary handsome, slowly descended into the scene.
“Tianshu Province, Dan Taixian, offers his congratulations to Island Master Li Fan!”
The thirty-six Nascent Soul Monks chorused out in unison.
The stunned cultivators of the Misthaven Sea abruptly fell into silence.
“Dan Taixian? The Dan Tai’s Family!”
The cultivators who knew the foundation of the Dan Tai’s Family were all deeply shocked.
And even if they were unsure of who Dan Taixian was, seeing the procession of thirty-six Nascent Soul monks leading the way left them speechless.
Zhou Kebao, who had been observing from the Dustcrosser Boat high in the sky, was taken aback by this scene, quickly standing up, his face full of disbelief.
“Dan Taixian? Why would he be here?” He was filled with confusion. “This makes no sense at all?”
After a while, a hint of horror flashed across Zhou Kebao’s face.
“Could it be that they are joining forces and setting up an elaborate scheme?”
Amidst his uncertainty, Zhou Kebao took out a Communication Talisman, quickly reporting this unexpected situation to his companions.
…
With the appearance of Dan Taixian, the atmosphere had been whipped to a climax.
Now, it was time for Li Fan to make his entrance.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Roaring sounds continuously came from afar, as if some primordial beast was rapidly approaching.
“Look! What is that!” One sharp-eyed cultivator spotted something unusual in the direction of the sound.
A giant stone man appeared on the horizon, towering over the earth.
He stood in the middle of the Misthaven Sea, with the seawater only reaching halfway up his legs.
Though massive in size, he moved incredibly fast.
Each step he took while crossing the sea sent tremors through the Misthaven Sea.
In an instant, the stone man was close to the old site of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
The cultivators, who were clueless about what was happening, immediately panicked, thinking it was another ambush from the Five Elders Organization.
Feeling the aura emanating from the giant stone man, their faces turned pale.
“Peak of God Transformation?”
The stone man moved closer and closer; under the tremendous pressure, some cultivators could not resist and pulled out their magic treasures as a precaution.
Just then, hundreds of cultivators under the leadership of Gao Yuan, He Zhenghao, and Zhou Qingang, seemed as if they had rehearsed for this a hundred times, they all flew out together.
Bowing toward the giant stone man, they greeted in unison, “We welcome the Island Master!”
“Ha ha ha, everyone, please rise!” A hearty laughter echoed down from the top of the stone man’s head.
Only then did the audience realize that a cultivator was standing on this God Transformation Level stone man’s head!
And this man was Li Fan!
A God Transforming Immortal Monarch, allowing himself to be trampled by Li Fan, with only a Golden Core Cultivation Level.
This was not something that could be accomplished by contribution points.
He managed to invite a group of cultivators from the heartland of the Immortal Alliance, and even a God Transforming cultivator was willing to be trampled under his feet.
Island Master Li Fan, what is his background?
Not to mention the cultivators from Misthaven Sea who were present, even Dan Taixian, who had been calmly observing from the flying boat, showed a hint of disturbance in his eyes upon seeing Li Fan above him.
