Merit tasks triggered by random events were always being watched by cultivators.

    Li Fan directly epted the task to avoid it being snatched by others.

    Soon, a friend request was sent to him.

    Martial Hall, Jiang Zhengji.

    Li Fan epted the request, and a message from Jiang Zhengji came: "Fellow Daoist Li Fan, I have already checked your basic information."

    "With yourte Foundation Establishment cultivation, plus the assistance of formations, there should be no risk in following behind our team toplete this task."

    "I will send you the information about this trip to Wai Ind shortly for you to prepare."

    "We''ll set out tomorrow. Meet at the Transmission Square."

    Li Fan didn''t rush to check the mission information Jiang Zhengji sent but first investigated Jiang Zhengji''s personal information.

    His spiritual consciousness touched the star in the starry sea representing Jiang Zhengji, and a brief message instantly appeared in Li Fan''s mind.

    Jiang Zhengji, a member of the Tiancang Team in the Martial Hall on Ten Thousand Immortals Ind.

    Mid Golden Core stage cultivation.

    Li Fan had some knowledge of the Tiancang Team.

    It was one of the nine teams in the Martial Hall.

    In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, matters rted to techniques would be handled by the Law Enforcement Hall.

    For other situations requiring the use of force, the Martial Hall would take charge.

    The nine teams were Tianjun, Tiancang, Tianbian, Tianxuan, Tianyou, Tianhao, Tianzhu, Tianyan, and Tianyang.

    Except for the Tianjun Team, who were responsible for overall coordination and had a slightly higher status, the other teams were of equal standing.

    "I wonder how many members from the Tiancang Team will be mobilized for this task."

    With this thought in mind, Li Fan clicked on the Wai Ind beast-clearing mission briefing.

    Wai Ind was located in the southwestern region of the Cong Yun Sea.

    The ind was inhabited by headless beasts.

    With short lower limbs and stout arms, they crawled on the ground at incredible speed.

    These beasts had no heads, only arge mouth on their chests.

    They fed on sound, and as long as they were hungry, they could satiate themselves by simply making sound.

    With thick skin and the ability to quickly recover from injuries by consuming sound, coupled with their formidablebat power, they posed a substantial threat.

    Moreover, they reproduced rapidly, and there were no natural enemies on the ind.

    So, they easily dominated the entire Wai Ind.

    "Feeding on sound, interesting."

    After roughly understanding the task, Li Fan, in the Tianxuan Mirror, purchased some formation materials.

    If he couldplete this task only using formations without revealing his true strength, that would be perfect.

    Li Fan made his preparations for the mission.

    Early the next morning, Li Fan arrived at the Transmission Square to wait.

    It didn''t take long before Jiang Zhengji, leading a group of six people, slowly approached.

    "Greetings, fellow Daoist Jiang!" Li Fan bowed in salute.

    "Fellow Daoist Li, you''ve waited a long time." Jiang Zhengji politely replied, then introduced the six people behind him.

    One of these six was also in the mid Golden Core stage, while the rest, like Li Fan, were at thete Foundation Establishment stage.

    After a bit of small talk, the group used the teleportation formation to reach Guishou Ind, the closest ind to Wai Ind.

    After flying for half a day, a lush ind came into view from afar.

    "Those beasts are extremely sensitive to sound. To avoid alerting them, after entering the area ahead, everyone should refrain from speaking."

    "Suppress your breath andmunicate using spiritual consciousness."

    Jiang Zhengji, the leader, instructed.

    Everyone expressed their understanding.

    Entering the range of Wai Ind, the surroundings immediately became silent.

    The sounds of the waves or wind could not be heard.

    Silently flying over Wai Ind, Li Fan looked down at the scene, feeling a bit uneasy.

    The entire ind was packed with headless beasts.

    Most of themzilyy on the ground, doing nothing.

    Even in areas where there was not enough space, they didn''t fight. They just piled up on top of each other, forming many small hills.

    The fur of these beasts was all red. At first nce, the entire surface of Wai Ind seemed to be covered with moving red fur.

    Just looking at it made one feel uneasy.

    asionally, one or two headless beasts felt hungry. They didn''t even bother to get up; just by patting their belly, before the sound could travel far, therge mouths on their torso opened and closed, swallowing everything.

    Other beasts nearby would alsoe over, open their mouths, and share the food.

    Besides eating, they also reproduced.

    The intense movement often attracted many of their kind to gather and watch. They formed a circle, enclosing the protagonist in the middle, all with mouths wide open, saliva overflowing.

    The somewhat bizarre scene on Wai Ind wasn''t only unsettling for Li Fan.

    The five Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Tiancang Team also seemed uneasy, evidently witnessing this for the first time.

    Only Jiang Zhengji and the other Golden Core cultivator, Du Xingchang, maintained theirposure, seemingly ustomed to such scenes.

    "Let''s get started!"

    Jiang Zhengji tossed a purple formation diagram into the air.

    The purple light spread with the wind and quickly enveloped the entire Wai Ind.

    The headless beasts below werepletely unaware.

    A radiant light emanated from Jiang Zhengji, resembling falling snowkes.

    Soon after, a blizzard swept across, covering the entire ind.

    "Golden Core Dharma Body..." Li Fan watched this scene, his eyes flickering.

    Having already exchanged for knowledge rted to the Golden Core stage, Li Fan was naturally familiar with this.

    After reaching the Golden Core stage, one could use thews within the Golden Core to condense a Dharma Body.

    The fusion of thews into the Dharma Body allowed maniption of arge area through thews.

    At this moment, a snowstorm raged.

    The temperature on Wai Ind plummeted rapidly.

    Some headless beasts slowly sensed something amiss and looked around.

    However, Li Fan and the others suspended high in the air made no sound, and the beasts couldn''t find any traces.

    At the same time, Du Xingchang also took action.

    In the midst of the swirling snowstorm, red plum blossoms emerged from the ground, blooming proudly.

    In an instant, the entire Wai Ind was covered in white snow and red plum blossoms.

    "Xingchang and I will watch from above. Everyone, go ahead and take action!"

    Jiang Zhengji said.

    The five Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Tiancang Team nodded one after another.

    Without any hesitation, they rushed towards the headless beasts below.

    "It seems that this is also training for them."

    Seeing this, Li Fan couldn''t openly ck off.

    So, he quickly caught up and casually set up the Shared Spirit Life-Death Formation, affecting the five Foundation Establishment cultivators ahead.

    This Shared Spirit Life-Death Formation was one of the formations used by Zhang Zhiliang during the extermination of Crimson me in the twelfth life.

    It amplified attacks and enhanced cooperation between individuals.

    However, the power of the formation arranged by Li Fan at this moment was weaker by more than ten timespared to Zhang Zhiliang. But for the five Foundation Establishment cultivators, its effectiveness was still enough to have an immediate impact.

    After that, Li Fan consecutively set up several formations such as the Five Elements Sword Qi Formation, the Silk Obstruction Formation, and the Spirit Fire Dragon Formation.
