chapter-183
Carrying the jade token given by Zhang Zhiliang, the radiant light of the Seven-Colored Immortal-Felling Formation merely brushed past Li Fan, without eliciting any sense of threat.
The Government Hall and the Council Hall were the two most prominent tall buildings in the central area of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Following the path, Li Fan quickly arrived outside the Government Hall.
A Qi Condensation cultivator dressed in black and yellow robes stood at the entrance. Upon seeing Li Fan approaching, he gave a glance and then politely inquired, "Fellow Daoist, are you here to register for a position in the Formation Hall?"
Li Fan nodded."Alright, follow me."
Li Fan followed the cultivator, walking all the way inside to a small room deep within the Government Hall.
Upon entering, he discovered another world.
The guiding cultivator left on his own, leaving Li Fan alone to observe this space.
Numerous tall red wooden cabinets were arranged side by side on the ground.
There were an extremely large number of these wooden cabinets.
They were endless; with a quick glance, one couldn't see the end.An old man with white hair stood silently in front of these red wooden cabinets.
Observing him, Li Fan felt as if this old man wasn't inactive.
Instead, it seemed like he had countless clones busy in front of these red wooden cabinets.
Li Fan looked up and carefully examined this space.
All around was a vast expanse of whiteness. Apart from the red wooden cabinets and the white-haired old man, there were no other decorations.
It was monotonous and somewhat frightening.
"It seems that this place, like the Tianxuan Mirror, is a space shared by every branch of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" Li Fan speculated silently.
However, he didn't show any disrespect and promptly handed the jade token to the old man.
Taking the jade token, the old man glanced at Li Fan.
He cleared his throat and calmly said, "Although you are under Zhang Zhiliang, if you want to officially join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, you still need to go through the proper procedures."
The old man pointed to the blank area in front of him, and suddenly, a white platform rose from the ground.
Made entirely of white jade, it emitted a lustrous glow.
"This is the Inquiry Platform. To prevent spies from the Five Elders Association from infiltrating the alliance, you must pass the Inquiry Platform test before joining."
"Stand on it!"
The old man instructed, not giving Li Fan a chance to refuse.
Li Fan's heart trembled slightly, raising his spirits, ready to use [Truth] if anything went wrong.
After leaping onto the white Inquiry Platform, a miniaturized projection of Li Fan instantly appeared around him.
It included some basic information about him within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
"Besides the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, have you ever joined any other cultivation organizations?"
Glancing at Li Fan's information, the white-haired old man asked.
"None." Li Fan quickly answered.
The white jade platform remained normal, with no abnormalities.
The white-haired old man nodded, then continued to ask, "Have you had any dealings with the Five Elders Association?"
"No."
"Do you harbor ill intentions towards the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"
"No."
"Do you have any living relatives?"
"All mortals, no attachments."
...
Time passed in the process of questions and answers.
Fortunately, these were basic questions about one's stance, without delving into the privacy of a cultivator's techniques or abilities.
Li Fan answered each question calmly.
"One last question." The old man cleared his throat.
"Why did you join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"
Li Fan paused for a moment and answered slowly, "Immortality."
The white-haired old man's eyes flickered slightly.
The Inquiry Platform silently disappeared from view.
"You have successfully passed the inquiry test. From today onwards, you are an official member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
The old man clapped his hands, and in front of him, Li Fan's miniature projection image slowly appeared.
Next to the image, there were lengthy pages of text and the footage of Li Fan's questioning process.
Afterward, a red wooden cabinet from a distance, like a phantom, traversed through layers of wooden cabinets and flew to the front of the white-haired old man.
One of the cabinet doors opened on its own.
The old man pressed his hands in the air, compressing the image data in front of him into a glowing white paper.
Gently, he placed the paper into the cabinet.
Then, the cabinet door closed, and the wooden cabinet instantly returned to its original position, disappearing from Li Fan's sight.
"You may go."
The white-haired old man said to Li Fan, then returned to his previous motionless state.
Li Fan bowed and quietly withdrew.
Leaving this pale space, at the entrance of the Government Hall, Li Fan encountered the guide cultivator from before.
He glanced at Li Fan and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on officially joining!"
"Oh? How you could tell?" Li Fan replied politely.
"Hehe, because after going up the Inquiry Platform, if you haven't officially joined, the only other possibility is death. Since fellow Daoist is alive, the result is self-evident." The guiding cultivator answered with a smile.
"Thank you for the insight. I am Li Fan." Saying this, Li Fan handed over a Communication Talisman.
"I am Gao Yuan." Taking Li Fan's talisman, Gao Yuan became even more courteous.
Li Fan exchanged a few more pleasantries with him before returning to the Tianxuan Mirror.
Upon entering, he received a notification.
"Welcome, Cultivator Li Fan. You have officially joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"Your current position: Formation Repairer for the Cong Yun Sea."
"Responsibility: Assist Zhang Zhiliang of the Formation Hall in maintaining the protective formations in the Cong Yun Sea area."
"Fixed wage: 1500 contribution points per year. Each time you participate in maintenance, you can earn an additional 200-2000 contribution points based on your level of participation."
"Minimum duty requirement: Participate in at least three major array maintenance tasks every ten years."
"Reminder: If you fail to meet the minimum duty requirement for the first time, you will receive a warning. If there is a second time, your Formation Repairer position will be forcibly revoked, and you will not be allowed to rejoin for one hundred years."
"Please take your responsibilities seriously."
"You can now increase your permission level within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance by accumulating merits."
"The higher your permission level, the more items and techniques you can view and exchange."
"Your current permission level: One."
"Complete merit tasks to earn merits."
"Merits are divided into six levels from top to bottom: Heaven, Earth, First, Second, Third, Fourth."
"Each level is further divided into upper, middle, and lower."
...
In addition to various new prompts, Li Fan also received several items at the same time.
One of them was the standard black and yellow robe used within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The robe provided simple protection and could effectively resist attacks from mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivators.
For Li Fan, it was better than nothing.
If the robe got damaged and needed replacement, he would have to spend contribution points to buy a new one in the Tianxuan Mirror.
Another item was the identity jade disk.
If you didn't join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's system, the alliance wouldn't care if you were killed outside.
However, with this identity jade disc, if you died unexpectedly, the Heavenly Secrets Hall would investigate.
Based on the specific results of the investigation, they would decide whether to carry out revenge.
