In the days following the wind disaster, all residents of Jade Island received instructions to check if the Island Protection Array was damaged at each household.
The method of inspection was simple: the Luli Bureau would issue a Spirit Talisman. By hanging the Spirit Talisman at home for a few days and nights, one could observe if any red light would emerge.
As for the remote corners of the island, there were designated individuals responsible for each area.
"The Island Protection Array has 367,800 nodes. It is essential to ensure that each node is functioning normally," under the will of the Immortal Master and for the safety of all residents, all activities on Jade Island were paused to prioritize the maintenance of the Island Protection Array.
In the past, the Immortal Master would oversee the inspection of the array. However, this time, it was said that the Spirit Stones maintaining the array were nearly depleted, so the Immortal Master returned to Myriad Immortals Island to retrieve more Spirit Stones.
Li Fan also received a Spirit Talisman.
He hung the Spirit Talisman at home and carefully sensed it, faintly detecting an intangible wave emanating from it.
After expanding outward for a distance, it seemed to encounter some obstacle and returned.
As the wave returned, the Spirit Talisman emitted a blue light.
After a few breaths, the blue light faded.
The wave then continued to generate.
This cycle repeated.
"The self-inspection of the array involves 360 flickers of the Spirit Talisman as a small cycle, and 360 small cycles as a large cycle. If no red light appears during a large cycle, it indicates that the array is functioning normally," Li Fan recalled the instructions given when he received the Spirit Talisman.
"The Island Protection Array is so vast and intricate; it's hard to imagine how it was constructed."
"Myriad Immortals Island is said to be where the majority of cultivators in the Cloudy Sea Region gather. It is extremely mysterious, and even Manager Zhao knows little about it.
"It is known that if a mortal on the island can cleanse their body of miasma and draw qi into their body, an Immortal Master will descend to take them to Myriad Immortals Island."
"It seems that my goal in this world is there."
However, things need to be done step by step. First, he needed to secure a spot on the Seafaring Fleet to have a chance to enter the Purifying Spirit Pool.
Li Fan had waited for hundreds of years, so he was not in a hurry.
Time quietly passed as the island residents prayed anxiously.
Five days later, the result that put everyone at ease came out.
The Island Protection Array was undamaged.
With the Immortal Master's return with sufficient Spirit Stones, the residents of the island finally felt completely at ease.
Life on Jade Island gradually returned to normal.
In the following months, refugees from other islands occasionally came to Jade Island for shelter.
These survivors were a minority; most of the people on their islands had perished in the recent wind disaster.
Upon learning that Jade Island had an Immortal Master, these refugees displayed a deep sense of envy.
The Cloudy Sea Region was vast and boundless, with countless islands of various sizes.
Only those islands with special resources would have an Immortal Master.
Li Fan did not idle during these months.
He persisted in practicing the *Xuanhuang Purifying Heart Spell* every day and finally reaped the benefits.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mortal
Physical Age: 41/88↑
Mental Age: 504/1119↑
Both his physical and mental age limits had increased, though only slightly, which still filled Li Fan with excitement.
Since then, Li Fan practiced even more diligently, dedicating all his time to the *Clear Heart Spell* except for meals.
Another month passed, and Li Fan finally received a message from Manager Zhao's messenger.
The wind disaster in the Cloudy Sea had completely disappeared, and the fleet was about to set sail again!
Three days later, at the Jade Island dock.
The sea vessels of Jade Island were slightly larger than the second form of the Great Derivation Boat, measuring about two to three hundred meters in length.
A dozen large ships were lined up, anchored on the sea, presenting a grand sight.
Due to the wind disaster, the fleet had been delayed for a long time, and the island owed a significant amount of resources.
Therefore, the island chief ordered the entire fleet to set sail this time.
This was a rare grand occasion, as in the past, for safety reasons, only one or two fleets would sail at the same time.
The dock was filled with residents who had come to watch the spectacle.
Occasionally, they would wave enthusiastically to acquaintances on the ships.
Li Fan followed Manager Zhao's people and boarded a ship named the
