The Golden Core Giant Beast was captured by Jiang Zhengji and Du Xingchang.

The red Exotic Beasts on Wanlai Island began to show signs of fear.

They began to flee in all directions.

Some even tried to jump into the sea to escape.

But the purple Array that Jiang Zhengji had previously laid down had already successfully sealed off Wanlai Island entirely.

“Kill!

At Jiang Zhengji’s command, the team of five resumed their efficient and ruthless slaughter.

At this time, Li Fan also pretended to have finished resting, activated the [Celestial Spirit Flame Dragon Array], occasionally swung a faint blue Sword Light, and harvested the lives of the red Exotic Beasts.

There were no longer any unexpected incidents this time.

By the time of sunset, only a quarter of the red Exotic Beasts on Wanlai Island remained.

“Stop!”

At this point, Jiang Zhengji finally spoke again.

With heavy snow falling again, he once again used the method from when he captured the Golden Core Giant Beast.

He turned more than half of the remaining red Exotic Beasts on the island into tiny snowmen.

He then collected them, and they disappeared to who knows where.

“The task was quite smooth this time. We can return to the island,” he said in a leisurely manner.

The five exhausted team members heaved sighs of relief.

Li Fan also looked fully consumed.

“This time we’re indebted to you, Daoist. Without those key array techniques, I doubt they would have been able to successfully pass the trial,” On the way back, Jiang Zhengji courteously said to Li Fan.

Li Fan was modest, “The whole time, it was the Daoist friends from the Martial Arts Battle Hall who made efforts. I only positioned some arrays and didn’t actually kill many exotic beasts.”

Jiang Zhengji smiled, “Isn’t that what an Array Master is supposed to do? I see that you have a strong foundation in array techniques. Though not comparable to those grand masters, your contributions in real combat are significant. Especially that [Array of Tangled Muddied Waters], it was brilliant.”

“I have participated in dozens of clearance missions and have seen many Array Masters. But those with an outstanding ability to adapt like yours are few and far between.”

Li Fan shook his head, “You flatter me, it was just a flash of inspiration.”

He then asked curiously, “You have participated in dozens of clearances missions? Could it be that these red Exotic Beasts have some special value?

Why not simply eradicate them in one go?”

Jiang Zhengji nodded, ‘You’re correct. These red Exotic Beasts do have some uses. ”

“I had captured a large group earlier and didn’t kill them all because of this reason. ”

“The Martial Arts Battle Hall Headquarters of the Immortal Alliance has a task requiring us to collect a certain number of sound-absorbing exotic items and beasts every year.”

“These red Exotic Beasts feed on sounds. Although they’re weak, there are many of them and they perfectly match the task requirements by the headquarters.”

“The headquarters are also very satisfied with the sound-absorbing ability of these red Exotic Beasts. The amount they want us to deposit each year is growing.”

At this point, Jiang Zhengji appeared pleased.

“But these red Exotic Beasts have no natural enemies and there’s no need to worry about them running out of food. They multiply too fast.”

“Moreover, they can also progress by devouring their own kind. If there are too many of them, a Nascent Soul Realm monster might evolve.”

“Then it would be troublesome. To prevent this situation, we must periodically clean up the exotic beasts on the island.”

Jiang Zhengji explained with a smile.

“So, the number of these red Exotic Beasts should be neither too much nor too few.”

“Keeping it at a slightly low level is the best.”

“Neither too much nor too few.” After hearing this, Li Fan nodded slowly and echoed it under his breath.

As if he had realized something, he subtly glanced at the sky and fell into deep thought.

After a silent journey, they safely returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island, and Li Fan bid farewell to everyone.

He returned to the Tianxuan Mirror and immediately added Du Xingchang and the others as friends.

Sitting cross-legged in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan frowned.

He remembered how in his twelfth life, due to the frenzy during the transmission of the Law Transmission, a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators were prematurely cultivated.

As a result, he was even pursued and killed by the Integration Cultivators.

“The reason why there shouldn’t be too many is because new methods seize the resources of heaven and earth. If the number of cultivators is allowed to expand, will the resources of heaven and earth dry up?”

“So, the number of cultivators must not be too few. But why?”

“Having achieved longevity, why should they care about the cultivators who are like ants?”

“The establishment of the Immortal Alliance and even the Five Elders Organization is to intentionally cultivate cultivators.”

“The red Exotic Beasts are useful to the Immortal Alliance, so a certain number of them need to be ensured.”

“What use do the cultivators have to the Immortal Sovereign?”

Before crossing over, Li Fan had heard the saying that everyone beneath the saint is like an ant.

The saints are high above, looking down on all creatures as inferior beings. The life and death of all things in Heaven and Earth do not enter the saint’s attention.

Even if a great calamity occurs and living beings are displaced and killed.

The saints are indifferent and do not care.

So why do the Immortal Sovereigns of the Xuanhuang World need a certain number of cultivators?

After the endless slaughter brought about by the different cultivation of the Immortal Law.

On a wasteland of cultivation, why did the Immortal who had achieved longevity create the Immortal Alliance?

Pity?

Or…

In a flash, several different answers emerged in Li Fan’s mind.

But they obviously could not be verified at this moment.

He could only deeply hide them in his heart and wait for future verification.

After calming his churning emotions, Li Fan began to check his authority level.

The reward for the task of clearing the red Exotic Beasts was a lower class B merit.

The actual upgrade of the authority level was 260 progress.

Having completed just this one task, Li Fan’s authority level had risen to grade 3 with 60 percent progress to the next level.

“It seems that in the early stages, the promotion of the authority level is quite easy. ”

Li Fan checked the newly appeared techniques.

Unfortunately, he still did not find any that could increase multitasking ability.

For a while afterwards, Li Fan took and completed two more merit tasks.

One was a top-class C merit, and the other was a lower class B merit.

The process of completing the tasks was very smooth without any hiccups.

While getting to know many members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island system, Li Fan’s authority level had also risen to grade 5.

He had used up his quota of receiving three merit tasks per year but still had not found a suitable technique.

“It seems that even though [Yanfa Mystical Amulet] is within the Immortal Alliance that allows infinite deduction of techniques, the techniques of multitasking are extremely precious.”

“I don’t know at what authority level it will appear on the exchange list.”

“The details of the exchange of items at different authority levels are confidential and cannot be spread at will. The higher the authority level, the higher the confidentiality. If it is accidentally leaked, it could result in the deduction of merits, or worse, being pursued and killed.” “If not for this, I could have asked others and at least have an idea.” “Now, I have to find an opportunity to enhance my authority level.”

During this time, the situation at Zhou Qingang’s Taian Island remained normal.

But, Li Fan was patient.

He believed that before the arrival of the Crimson Blaze Ocean, Zhou Qingang would reveal his true colors..
