My Longevity Simulation
chapter-181

He Zhenghao's triumphant voice came through the talisman.

"Zhang Zhiliang is quite eccentric. It took me considerable effort to convince him. Of course, the required contribution points are slightly higher than the 10,000 contribution points required for Master Gong."

"13,000 contribution points."

"It's a rare opportunity. If you're interested, contact me as soon as possible!"

After that, the talisman fell silent.

"Only an additional 3,000 contribution points, no problem. Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Li Fan thought for a moment and gave a positive response to He Zhenghao.

On one hand, it was to get closer to Zhang Zhiliang and try to become his formal disciple.

On the other hand, it was a perfect opportunity to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Joining the system of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had many benefits.

Compared to the over 10,000 contribution points spent in this closed-door cultivation, the 13,000 contribution points were well worth it.

Sending the message, He Zhenghao immediately replied, "In that case, to avoid delays, fellow Daoist, quickly go to the Transmission Square and wait for me."

"I will take you to meet Zhang Zhiliang first. Then we'll quickly secure the spot."

"Remember, even though it's just a small position as a Formation Repairer, there are still quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators eyeing it!"

Li Fan also replied, "Thank you for your trouble!"

After leaving the Tianxuan Mirror, he went to the Transmission Square to wait for He Zhenghao.

As soon as he arrived, he saw that He Zhenghao was already waiting.

"Fellow Daoist, you've gone through much trouble for me!" Li Fan said to He Zhenghao.

"Hehe, no need to be so polite. Since you were introduced into the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance by me, I naturally have to take good care of you."

"Moreover, it's mutually beneficial. Maybe in the future, I'll have something that requires your help!"

He Zhenghao waved his hand, not minding.

Then he said, "Zhang Zhiliang is not on Ten Thousand Immortals Island right now. Recently, an island suddenly emerged from the seabed in the western part of the Cong Yun Sea. Zhang Zhiliang and Gong Boyu are currently on that island."

"It might take a year or more before they come back."

"You should go with me to see them and secure the spot first."

Li Fan nodded.

"An island emerging from the seabed? Several Formation masters from the Formation Hall are also on the island? Did they discover some sect remnants or something?" Li Fan followed He Zhenghao towards a tree-like teleportation formation while asking.

He Zhenghao shook his head. "It's not a sect remnant, just an ordinary island."

"Over three thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, the entire island sank into the ocean. Now, it has resurfaced."

"Oddly, this island seems to have been under the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance originally, but there's no record of this island. The guardian formation around the island was reactivated after it surfaced."

"And the guardian formation from back then is quite different from the current one. That's why several Formation masters from the Formation Hall went to check it out."

He Zhenghao explained.

Using the teleportation formation, the two arrived at a huge island full of various trees, similar to a primitive forest.

This place was more than ten times larger than Liuli Island.

"The new island is located more than five hundred miles west of this Lingmu Island."

Li Fan and He Zhenghao flew towards their destination while conversing.

"Could it be that the formations from a thousand years ago are stronger than those nowadays? Why would several Formation Masters go there to study?" Li Fan asked, expressing the doubts in his mind.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you may not know this. The guardian formations commonly used within our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are not fixed."

"We've always had conflicts with the Five Elders Association. If we had a set and unchanging formation for over a hundred years, it risks being leaked or easily cracked on a large scale."

"So, guardian formations undergo a minor change every two hundred years and a major change every thousand years."

"A minor change refers to keeping the basic logic of the formation unchanged, only subtly adjusting the layout of the formation."

"While a major change involves building an entirely new formation."

He Zhenghao explained slowly.

"So, the guardian formation running on that island from three thousand years ago is quite a rarity. Its power is average, but those proficient in formations can discern its intricacies and deduce the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation that complements it."

Li Fan was momentarily stunned, "The complementary Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation?"

After hesitating for a moment, He Zhenghao explained in a hushed tone, "This Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation doesn't refer to the one on Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Rather, it refers to the true Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation formed by all the guardian formations in the cities and islands within a region, with the Ten Thousand Immortals Guardian Formation within the central island city as the core, amplifying its power."

"This Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation, once fully activated, covers the entire region with unimaginable power. It's said to have a record of killing Dao Integration level figures."

"But the resources it consumes are extremely huge, and it can only be activated with approval from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters."

"It's generally only used during invasions by the Five Elders Association."

Li Fan, who was only beginning to understand formations, imagined the scene in his mind and couldn't help but take in a sharp breath.

"No wonder the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance goes to great lengths to build guardian formations in most cities within its territory."

"It turns out there's this additional consideration."

At this moment, He Zhenghao continued with a cheerful tone, "Privately, we've speculated that this might not be the complete form of the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation. The true form might be a massive formation covering all Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance territories, formed by fully activating the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formations in each region as nodes."

"But this is purely our idle speculation. That kind of formation is too terrifying. Once activated, I'm afraid the entire cultivation world would suffer immense destruction."

Li Fan listened in silence.

"Judging by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's style of doing things, this ultimate form of the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation is definitely real."

"The Xuanhuang Realm has maintained peace despite being almost divided between the conflicting Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders. Aside from those elusive Longevity Immortals, the existence of this ultimate Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation is probably a crucial factor."

After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan fell into silence, and the two continued their journey in silence.

Not long after, the once-sunken island came into view.

Even from a distance, Li Fan could sense that the dampness on the island had not yet dissipated.

Most of the buildings on the island were still intact.

However, having been submerged in the sea for a thousand years, the surfaces of the buildings were covered with seaweed and algae.

On the streets, countless fish that had been separated from the seawater were leaping and struggling for survival.

Outside the island, Li Fan could vaguely see a golden formation barrier.

"I wonder why this island sank for some unknown reason three thousand years ago."

"And now, why did it suddenly resurface?"
