Chapter 334: 311: Qualified Actor

Translator: 549690339

By subtly reverting his aura to the Foundation Establishment phase within the Universal Courtyard, Li Fan’s breakthrough didn’t attract much attention.

Apart from Ji Hongdao occasionally glancing at Li Fan suspiciously during his classes.

Almost no one knew that Li Fan had already stepped into the Golden Core Realm.

However, even if these students knew, they probably wouldn’t think much of it.

After all, being in the Golden Core Realm among this group of people was far too common.

Compared to their cultivations, what they valued more was mastery in array techniques.

The closed training of the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array] was nearing its end.

Ever since seeing the sealing of the Tianxuan Mirror with their own eyes last time, many students seemed to have realized something and made rapid progress.

They reached the top in the final test project, the Array Hub Affinity Test.

Li Fan, on the other hand, was slightly distracted due to his concerns about the major events in the Misthaven Sea and his own Gold Core Formation; Also, because his array talent was too common, he couldn’t comprehend much.

The combination of these two reasons resulted in him staying in place with his grades.

As the saying goes, “if you don’t advance, you retreat”, so Li Fan’s ranking dropped significantly.

Fortunately, his grades in the Array Structure and Soul Contract Recognition projects were excellent previously.

All in all, he didn’t fall too far behind.

His ranking was still above average.

One day, Ji Hongdao announced that the final test would take place in a month and a half.

The actual formation of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array.

Providing only enough array materials and no assistance from anyone, the individual would form the array themselves.

The final evaluation would be based on the actual construction of the array.

And ranking would be based on the results.

The top performer would naturally be rewarded.

However, Ji Hongdao has kept what the rewards would be a secret.

He just said it was incredibly precious, that even he was tempted to participate in the contest.

Upon hearing this, the students were unavoidably excited.

They hurriedly returned to their own courtyards to prepare fully for the final test.

Just as Li Fan was about to leave, Ji Hongdao stopped him.

“Although the final test will be soon, rationally thinking, I should keep this matter hidden for now.”

“But this matter is so significant that I believe you have the right to know.”

Li Fan instantly understood what Ji Hongdao meant.

But he had to act.

He paused slightly and pretended to be confused, saying humbly, “Senior, please feel free to speak. I can handle it.”

Ji Hongdao nodded slightly: “In that case, listen carefully.”

“Your hometown, the Misthaven Sea.”

“Is gone…”

Li Fan’s response was perfect.

No unusual reactions, only a blank face, “Gone? What does that mean?”

A trace of gloom flashed through Ji Hongdao’s eyes, “Gone, just as it says.”

“The entire Misthaven Sea has disappeared.”

Li Fan laughed lightly, “Senior, you can’t be joking. The Misthaven Sea is so vast. How could such a large area just disappear…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Fan suddenly fell silent.

He was staring blankly at Ji Hongdao, seeing that he wasn’t joking at all.

As if being struck by lightning, his body started to tremble slowly.

His eyes wide as bronze bells, Li Fan disregarded the gap between their cultivation and identities, rushed forward, and grabbed Ji Hongdao’s arm.

“Is it true? How is this possible?”

“What exactly happened?”

“Sigh.” Ji Hongdao watched Li Fan’s insane-like reaction for a moment and sighed deeply.

Pointing out, he sent Li Fan back to the courtyard, “You can go back and calm down first. As for the specifics, you can search in the Tianxuan Mirror by yourself.”

“You should still be able to find the relevant information.”

Before his eyes changed, Li Fan was already back in his courtyard.

Maintaining his look of utter despair, Li Fan started to search for information about the Misthaven Sea in the Tianxuan Mirror.

“It seems that the Sky Slaughter Sword was not a match for Mo Sha in the end, and the present Misthaven Sea has entirely become an abyss of nothingness.”

“The Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters is also gone without a trace.”

“This outcome was expected. Perhaps the essence of Sky Slaughter is the same as Mo Sha, but it only exists as a part of the Broken Sword. The hilt is not even there.”

“Moreover… such a major event, the discussion is surprisingly low-key. Is it that the Immortal Sovereign is at play again?”

Such a major event, trying to hide it would be impossible.

The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals did not choose to block or screen the news, instead they cold dealt with it.

The initial discussion was heated, Jiao Xiuyuan’s recorded image of the Mo Sha World-destroying Catastrophe made many cultivators scared and greedy at the same time.

Apart from their sympathy for the unfortunate cultivators of the Misthaven Sea and questions about why Mo Sha resorted to such brutality to exterminate the world, the most discussed topic was actually the feasibility of using Mo Sha to achieve Unity-Path.

And as time passed, the first two topics were discussed by fewer and fewer people.

Only the intensive fans were still persevering.

“Just how much fighting power shown could use Mo Sha to achieve Unity-Path? In my opinion, even though the Immortal World is vast, no cultivator is qualified.”

“I have one person to consider, Prince Jinglun. It is rumored that he was already at the peak of God Transformation decades ago, his strength is unfathomable. He even once faced the temptation of the Essence of Heaven and Earth and resolutely gave up the opportunity for Unity-Path. Just because that Essence of Heaven and Earth was too weak!”

“Although Prince Jinglun is strong, compared to Mo Sha, he falls short.”

“Those black particles annihilate everything, trying to defend can only be challenging. I reckon that if Zhong Shentong advances to God Transformation, his endless Seven-color Divine Light might be able to contend.”

“Zhong Shentong? The Foundation Establishment cultivator? And, he’s so old. You really think everyone can demean Prince Jinglun? Without the Prince having to do anything, I could crush him!”

“Oh? Have such big words, dear friend? Would you dare to leave your name and address? Perhaps this old man should pay a visit!”

Li Fan, with a stricken look on his face, browsed through all this information.

He thought to himself: “Experiencing such a tragedy, even if the final test score is a bit off, it would be reasonable, wouldn’t it?”

For the next few days, Li Fan didn’t leave the house and declined all visitors.

He perfectly played the role of a cultivator suddenly hit by a huge change.

And as time slowly passed, Li Fan clearly sensed that the memories of the Misthaven Sea in his spirit consciousness were fading.

His thoughts were obstructed, and he almost never thought about related matters spontaneously.

Had it not been for Li Fan specially setting up a section in his consciousness’s Huadao Stone to specifically record and review every few days.

He would have almost forgotten about the extermination of the Misthaven Sea.

In just over a month.

“The power of Immortal Sovereign is truly terrifying.”

Once again experiencing the Immortal Sovereign’s influence first hand, Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh.

So, everything returned to its calm state.

After another ten or so days, the final test of the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array] closed training finally arrived.
