My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 568: Chapter 540: Disciples All Over The World

The congratulations from the cultivators continued until Li Fan flew to Misthaven City, personally opening the entrance to the Protective Array, and gradually ceased.

“From now on, this will be our new home,” he said with a smile.

The cultivators all agreed eagerly.

“The facilities on the island remain the same, including the Teleportation Array, the Tianxuan Mirror, and so on. Fellow Daoists can go and experience them for themselves. I won’t need to go into details.” Li Fan spoke loudly.

Just as some cultivators were eager to leave…

Li Fan looked at them, smiled slightly, and suddenly said, “The following Daoists, please follow me to the Governance Hall.”

“He Zhenghao, Gao Yuan, Zhou Qingang…”

“Fang Weihou…”

“Jia Jun…”

…

Like reading out ingredients for a dish, Li Fan listed the names of hundreds of people in one breath.

Those who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, suddenly realizing and listening intently, their faces tense.

The ones who had been called were naturally overjoyed.

But those who hadn’t been called didn’t dare to show any anomalies, and could only look at the fortunate ones with envy.

After attaching themselves to Li Fan, who is openly the Secret Word Envoy but actually the acting Island Lord, they truly had immeasurable prospects.

After this, Li Fan led a hundred people, grandly heading towards the Governance Hall in the center of the city.

Leaving behind the cultivators’ consciousnesses secretly discussing.

“Why so arrogant? Fortune is unpredictable. Just because Li Fan is in power now, doesn’t mean it will last when Island Master Hongxi returns. Everything will become empty then.”

“In my view, it’s not necessarily so. The Emissary clearly has backup. Otherwise, how could such a blessing of authority over a province come his way?”

“Isn’t that obvious, could ordinary cultivators simply step on the transforming God Puppet? I guess even if Hongxi and Zi Yun, the two Island Masters return, they would also be polite to the Emissary. Zhu Daoist, I advise you to recognize the situation and do not incur the displeasure of the Emissary.”

“Hmph! You may fear him, but I, Zhu Yongshou, do not fear Li Fan!”

…

Conversations like these were happening all over Misthaven City.

No one can be liked by everyone in the world. Li Fan was naturally no different.

For the discussions of the Misthaven Sea cultivators, Li Fan didn’t care in the slightest.

At the moment, he was assigning various vacant positions to people.

Afterwards, he reported the personnel appointments to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters and waited for approval.

After a busy day, Li Fan finally had some free time.

Thanks to his capable assistants like He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan, handling the city’s affairs would not have been so easy without their support.

Sitting in a room specially prepared for him in the Governance Hall, Li Fan closed his eyes slightly, feeling several streams of feedback power with varying strengths flowing from his Dantian.

A surprised expression appeared on his face.

“I didn’t expect that some of my subordinates would have made a breakthrough so soon?”

“Well, these people were mostly poor cultivators in Misthaven Sea. Now following me and striving for half a year, they have finally received what they wished for, skyrocketing up. Not only did they enter the Immortal Alliance System, but the positions they received are not low at all.”

“Under such stirring emotions, it’s normal for their cultivation to break through.”

“The saying goes, ‘one man ascends to Dao, his chicken and dog ascend to heaven’. They all got carried by me and received my favor.”

“So naturally, there should be feedback power from ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’.”

“And this level of feedback force…”

As Li Fan sensed it subtly, he became more and more delighted.

“Although it can’t compare with the grace of Law Transmission, it’s still like a re-creation.”

“Moreover, this path of cultivation is safer and more covert compared to Law Transmission. And it is also guarded by the Immortal Alliance System, which is legitimate.”

“I’m just a small Secret Word Envoy who assumed the position midway and without any basis.”

“If it were a proper governor of a province whose old friends and subordinates are scattered everywhere in the Immortal Alliance…”

“The benefits are unimaginable!”

Li Fan’s eyes shone, as he seemed to have found a new path of cultivation.

“As long as I hold the position of a Secret Word Envoy for a day, I can rely on these hundreds of loyal men to rapidly increase my cultivation.”

“I can consider advancing to the Jindan stage.”

“Five Elements Great Cave Heaven…”

Thinking of his original objective, Li Fan frowned slightly.

The development of this life far exceeded his expectation. Many things have evolved quite differently from his past life.

The Battle of Heavenly Spirit State which once forced the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven to move might not happen this time.

Yet, if there was no war between Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and Five Elders Organization, it would be incredibly difficult for Li Fan to take advantage of the chaos during a peaceful time.

“Train soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a moment.”

“It’s time to deploy you again, my friend Zhou Qingang.”

After contemplating for a moment, Li Fan chuckled and immediately focused his attention on Zhou Qingang.

A group of cultivators were circling around Zhou Qingang.

Anyone with keen eyes could tell that Zhou Qingang, who had a profound relationship with He Zhenghao and was highly valued by Li Fan, would likely rise meteorically in the future.

If they didn’t seize this last opportunity to establish a good relationship, then when?

Hence, cultivators kept visiting and sending gifts non-stop.

It took Zhou Qingang considerable effort to finally get rid of everyone.

In the dead of night, he quietly slipped out of Misthaven City.

He went straight to the rendezvous point.

—————–

“Governance Hall, supervisory inspector. Boss, what do you think of this position?”

“The power is vast. You can inspect all over the jurisdiction and deal strictly with any illegal acts.”

“It’s much more prestigious than being a minor island guard!”

Zhou Qingang said proudly facing the stone figure.

“And now, I can easily access all the secrets that I couldn’t touch before. I’ve really infiltrated the enemy!”

“Boss?”

“Hm? Boss, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Zhou Qingang looked at the unmoving figure in front of him and asked curiously.

The silence remained as dead as ever.

A bad premonition suddenly welled up in Li Fan’s heart.

So, he also stopped talking.

After a long while, the stone figure finally spoke.

His voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.

“You are not Zhou Qingang. Who are you exactly?”

A heavy feeling gripped Li Fan’s heart.

However, he still feigned surprise, “Boss, what are you talking about? Look at my face, it’s all real!”

“How could you doubt me? I’ve made great contributions to the organization!”

“The entrance exam questions for the Immortal Alliance, the top-secret information of the Xuanhuang Unification…”

Zhou Qingang recounted his achievements with a grievance.

“Turns out, you’ve been playing dead for a long time…”

“I respect that!”

The stone figure was not swayed by Li Fan’s defense, its voice was cold like ice.

The anxious Zhou Qingang suddenly became calm.

As if a different person, he asked indifferently, “Oh? Where did I slip up?”

“Hmph!”

The stone figure sneered, “Although your disguise is impeccable, you overlooked one thing.”

“When Zhou Qingang first accepted the task of infiltrating the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, he was given an ultimate mission.”

“As soon as he gained a significant position within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, he was to immediately abandon his covert identity.”

“Hide completely, not to contact us in order to avoid detection and to prevent all his efforts from turning into dust.”

“Only to be put to use at a crucial moment by the organization…”

“So, you’ve just taken office and you couldn’t wait to contact me. You’re definitely not Zhou Qingang.”

The figure spoke in a muted voice.
