“Master Gong, with your proficiency in array techniques, setting up this

Seven-coloured Falling Immortal Array should be no challenge for you.”

“Of course, Master Gong is one of the top Array Masters in our Misthaven

Ocean.”

“Oh yes, didn’t you see that every year the maintenance of the array is personally done by Master Gong.”

The group of young cultivators chattered away, noisy as a flock of birds.

Master Gong stood to the side, looking rather pleased, stroking his beard and laughing.

“Array Master.” Upon seeing this, Li Fan had a thought.

He almost had forgotten about someone’s dying entrustment.

Immediately, his expression became serious, and he asked from a distance, “Is the senior master Gong?”

The long-bearded cultivator paused for a moment, turned his head, and looked at Li Fan.

Surprise flashed in his eyes but was quickly hidden.

He smiled and said, “I am Gong Boyu, may I know who you are, young friend?”

Li Fan excitedly replied, “I am Li Fan. Master Gong, I’ve finally found you. It was so hard to meet you!”

Gong Boyu was a little embarrassed but patiently asked, “What brings you to seek me, young friend?”

Li Fan sighed deeply, his face full of emotion, “I am entrusted by someone!”

“My friend He Zhenghao, on his deathbed, had a scroll entitled ‘Detailed Explanation of Hundred Channels Formation’… ”

Li Fan was interrupted halfway through by Gong Boyu, who was clearly visibly stirred.

“What, you’re a friend of Daoist He? He has left his works on array techniques with you?” Gong Boyu’s expression became strange, appearing partly incredulous and partly delighted.

His figure flashed, and he appeared next to Li Fan.

Li Fan only felt a grip on his shoulder, and the scene in front of him changed.

By the time he reacted, he was standing in front of a sloping perfect cube structure.

This cube structure seemed to be entirely made of some kind of metal, gleaming coldly under the sun.

“Follow me.” Gong Boyu said to Li Fan before entering the structure.

Li Fan followed him inside.

The surroundings darkened. The apparently large external structure only contained a tiny internal space.

Just as Li Fan found it strange, he felt a sudden jolt underneath his feet. The space he was in seemed to move.

The walls and floor became transparent. Li Fan then realised that the internal space seemed to have been cut into numerous tiny cubes.

Each cube was moving rapidly following a certain trajectory, shadowy figures of cultivators could be seen working inside.

After a while, as if hitting something, the small cube that Li Fan was in stopped.

Upon perfect alignment, the scenery around him instantly changed.

The space he was in became several times larger, with a few tables and chairs inside, seeming to be a place for entertaining guests.

Master Gong invited Li Fan to have a seat. With a smile on his face, he inquired, “Could I borrow the ‘Detailed Explanation of Hundred Channels Formation’ you mentioned to have a look?”

Li Fan had no objections.

The message left in the jade scroll by He Zhenghao had been removed by him long ago, and he had made several copies. At this moment, Li Fan took out a copy from his storage ring and handed it over.

He spoke with some emotion, “Before Daoist He set off to explore the cave mansion, he feared that if he met with an accident, his life’s work would be buried with him. Hence, he entrusted the ‘Detailed Explanation of Hundred Channels Formation’ to me, instructing me to pass it to you, Master Gong, if he were to die. He hoped that you could complete the array diagrams he hadn’t finished. ”

Gong Boyu was carefully reading the jade scroll, his face displaying expressions of astonishment and confusion in turns.

Only after a good while did he carefully stow away the jade scroll and say to Li Fan, “Ah, though Daoist He’s cultivation was a bit low, his talent in the path of array techniques was truly admirable. But what a pity…”

“The good die young.”

He then solemnly told Li Fan, “Rest assured, I will do my utmost to complete it. I will not let Daoist He’s masterpiece gather dust.”

Next, he handed a communication talisman to Li Fan, “Once it’s completed, I will inform you immediately. At that time, I will also give you a copy.”

After thoughtfully pausing for a moment, Gong Boyu said, “This ‘Detailed

Explanation of Hundred Channels Formation’ is of great help to our Array Strategy Hall. There are some novel insights in it which I find beneficial even after seeing them.”

“As you have taken pains to deliver it to me, this counts as a contribution. Later on, I will transfer twenty thousand contribution points to you.”

Li Fan didn’t expect to receive unexpected gains and quickly thanked him.

Seeing Gong Boyu immersed in He Zhenghao’s works again, Li Fan was about to leave but encountered a problem.

He didn’t know how to leave.

He had no choice but to disturb Gong Boyu again.

“You don’t know anything about setting up arrays?”

Gong Boyu asked, surprised.

Then he took out a jade scroll, “This is the basic course for beginners at our Array Strategy Hall. You can study it when you have time for cultivation. So when Daoist He’s work is completed, you will at least understand it.”

“Remember, it must not be revealed.”

“You can go now!”

With that, he waved his hand.

Li Fan felt a vibration under his feet. The surrounding space and him were separated, forming a square cube again.

Moving rapidly in the direction he had come from.

It quickly brought him back to the entrance of the Array Strategy Hall.

Upon leaving the distinctive looking building, Li Fan looked up at it again. “I hope you can complete it within the remaining ten or so years.”

Returning to the Ten Thousand Profound Mirror, Li Fan looked at the jade scroll awarded by Gong Boyu, and couldn’t help showing a look of delight.

Compared to the various introductory books on array techniques available in the market, the content taught in this jade scroll was structured in a progressive and detailed manner.

The theories were clear, and it was exhaustive.

From the fundamental theory to the actual setting up of arrays, it felt as though you were being guided by the hand.

Li Fan had once tried to set up a purification array to purify seawater on Taian Island in his previous life.

Even for such a crude array, Li Fan had almost spent half a month.

Array techniques were indeed complicated.

It was extremely difficult to get started by self-study.

But with this jade scroll, it would be much easier.

In the Ancient Xian Realm, at least it could be counted as a semi-inheritance.

After all, the content in this jade scroll was not available for purchase even with contribution points.

“Good, good, good! Daoist He, you truly continue to shine even after death!”

Li Fan was exhilarated and said ‘good’ three times in succession.

Then he sank his heart and began to learn with an insatiable thirst.

Immersed in the mysteries of array techniques, he lost track of time.

Only when he was alerted by a vague spiritual sense within him did he realise how much time had passed.

He checked the time, and it turned out that 18 years had already elapsed.

“Studying array techniques really is more time-consuming than cultivation,” Ll Fan couldn’t help but marvel.

To his perception, it had only been a few days.

“But why did I wake up all of a sudden?”

Li Fan frowned, as past events ran through his spirit consciousness.

“Three years ago, my sister was spotted by an immortal teacher who passed by and was taken away. She would send letters home to tell us she was safe at first. But later, we didn’t hear from her anymore.”

So it was because of this!

Li Fan suddenly realized..
