“What? You want to return to the base and continue working on the construction of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array?”

“Have you gone mad?”

Upon seeing Li Fan, appearing suddenly aged, right in front of his eyes, Hao Hui was taken aback.

When Li confessed his intent, Hao Hui’s face displayed disbelief as if he had misheard.

After double-checking and confirming what he’d heard, he let out a laugh out of anger and flatly rejected the request.

“Friend Li, you have done more than enough.”

“Leave the rest to the other Array Masters.”

“Your current condition is simply not suited for the continuation of array construction.”

After hesitating for a moment, Hao Hui suggested, “You have been mired in the Element Devouring White Fog for too long and your life is at its end.”

“The best course of action would be to seize every moment, diligently cultivate.”

“See if you can break through to the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm before your time runs out.”

“Given your talents, I don’t think it’s impossible to defy the heavens and change your fate.”

Even though Hao Hui’s words were meant to comfort Li Fan, he shook his head against his will, “I appreciate your good intentions, but one ought to know oneself. Possessing barely any lifespan left, it’s impossible for me to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm!”

“Rather than wasting my time on such futile efforts, I should utilize the little life I have left to contribute the last bit of my strength to the construction of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array.”

“Even if death comes while I am still alive to see the entire territory of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, blanketed by the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array.”

“I would die without any regret!”

Li Fan said, his face grave and his words resolute.

“If I have to waste the rest of my life waiting for death, I will not die in peace.”

“Please grant me this favor!”

Seeing the earnestness in Li Fan’s eyes, Hao Hui was lost for words.

His instinct told him to refuse, however, looking into the sincere eyes of Li Fan, he felt an indescribable feeling rising within him.

“… Very well, wait for me, friend. I will discuss this matter.”

Hao Hui left hastily, seemingly afraid of facing Li Fan any longer.

Li Fan, unruffled, waited patiently.

About half a day later, Hao Hui returned, his face a mix of complex emotions.

“Friend Li, upper management has agreed to your request. Once this Demon Sound Tide has passed, our Qingxuan Army will send someone to escort you back to the front lines.”

“Thank you, brother Hao.” Li Fan seemed relieved, nodding in gratitude.

“Friend Li Fan…” Moved by the sight of white-haired Li Fan appearing unburdened after receiving his mission, Hao Hui couldn’t help but ask.

“Why exactly?”

Li Fan’s decision had exceeded Hao Hui’s comprehension.

He asked, filled with confusion.

Li Fan merely smiled without giving an answer, bowing slightly before walking away.

Leaving behind a bewildered Hao Hui, frozen in place, silent for a long time.

As expected, the news about Li Fan, the half-dead man rushing back to the front line to resume array construction, spread through Duan Zhang Immortal City in no time.

While the news caused quite a stir, skeptics were also inevitably present.

However, half a month later, when Li Fan, under the gaze of thousands, escorted by dozens of Qingxuan Army soldiers, left the Eternal Immortal Fortress to head towards the Jia Xu base.

All doubts were self-dissipating.

The cultivators were astonished by Li Fan’s choice and felt ashamed of the small-minded thoughts they harbored in their hearts previously.

Compared to the sacrifices Li Fan made, their decades-long tenure of guarding the Roaring Abyss without leaving home seemed insignificant.

Thus, within the Qingxuan Army, a wave unlike any seen before began to rise.

They stopped complaining about the hardship of their duty and instead began comparing their respective lengths of service in the Roaring Abyss.

All of this, Li Fan who had just arrived at Jiachu base, was unaware of.

Thanks to Li Fan’s timely plea for help, reinforcements from the Eternal Immortal Fortress arrived before the base’s supplies were completely exhausted.

This prevented a potential tragedy.

While his decision to let Li Fan venture alone into the White Mist has resulted in some punishment for those surviving cultivators.

However, when compared to losing their lives, it was a small price to pay.

Furthermore, due to pleas from Li Fan.

He Chen, Kong Yu, and other cultivators, were eventually allowed to return to the Jia Xu base to account for their mistakes and assist Li Fan in building the Array.

To ensure Li Fan’s safety, the Eternal immortal Fortress increased the number of guards threefold.

The amount of supply they brought was more than imaginable, providing ample resources and alleviating any worries about running out of supplies.

Li Fan, too, did not rest for a moment.

When the Demon Sound Tide that had been rampant for so long finally subsided, he immediately resumed the construction of the Spirit-locking Array.

Both He Chen and others owed Li Fan their lives.

The cultivators of the Qingxuan Army, having received their orders, obeyed Li Fan’s commands without question.

Within the small Jia Xu base, Li Fan obtained complete authority.

As if an extension of his own arm, all orders were executed perfectly, even beyond expectation.

Adding to this, Li Fan disregarded his own wishes, becoming a workaholic who forgot about the rest and constructed the Array as much as he could.

The speed of the array construction was nearly double what it was before.

Due to the impact of the previous Demon Sound Tide, construction of the Array had to be halted.

Li Fan’s ranking on the Grand Competition Gold List had already fallen to the end, hovering around six hundred.

However, as everyone began to build again, the rankings steadily rose, chasing the top vigorously.

The rapid rise in Li Fan’s ranking did not attract much attention.

On the leaderboard, the most eye-catching was still Guo Yezhong with zero points.

He seemed to not care about the Grand Competition at all.

While cultivators chatted amongst themselves, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals did not take any specific measures.

However, there were rumors that Guo Yezhong was still within the territory of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and had not defected.

He had not given up on the competition either, responding when asked, “The outcome is not yet determined.”

While Li Fan was engrossed in constructing the Array, fighting his anguish.

His story was being spread rapidly beyond Duan Zhang Immortal City, propagated by certain individuals.

In particular, the tale of Li Fan’s encounter with a drastic change, his impending demise, and yet his unwavering determination to contribute to the construction of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array was grandiosely detailed.

Soon, every member of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, barring those in seclusion, had heard of Li Fan’s actions.

Whether they believed it or not was up in the air.

However, Li Fan’s Communication Talisman was the first to blow up.

He Zhenghao, Oracle Son, and old acquaintances from the Universal Academy began to flood him with messages, asking for details.

The flood of messages was so intense that Li Fan had to set up an automated response, briefly explaining the situation.

His friends naturally sighed in regret while expressing their admiration for Li Fan’s courage.

A few even promised to search for treasures that could extend his life span.

Li Fan politely thanked each of them.

Then he promptly resumed his relentless work on the Array.

Two years passed in this manner.

One day, a seven-colored radiance cut through the White Mist, heading directly towards Duan Zhang Immortal City.
