zì cóng tiān yáng chū xiàn zài miàn qián ， qiǎo gōng jū shì de mù guāng jiù méi yǒu yí kāi guò 。
自从天阳出现在面前，巧工居士的目光就没有移开过。
Since Tianyang appeared before him, the Craftsmanship Sage's gaze never left his figure.
“ zé zé zé ……”
“啧啧啧……”
"Zz-zz-zz..."
qiǎo gōng jū shì shàng xià dǎ liàng ， zé zé chēng qí 。
巧工居士上下打量，啧啧称奇。
The Craftsmanship Sage sized up Tianyang from head to toe and exclaimed in amazement. "Truly remarkable, truly remarkable."
“ qí zāi ， qí zāi 。”
“奇哉，奇哉。”
"It’s a perfect fusion of man and object..."
“ jū rán shì rén 、 wù wán měi xiāng róng ……”
“居然是人、物完美相融……”
"The Chief Elder Shangguan Tuo from our Destiny Realm once attempted complete control over the [Ancestral], but his attempt ended in failure. He nearly brought about the destruction of the Destiny Realm. Ever since then, such attempts have been strictly forbidden. Although we have made significant advancements in forging techniques, achieving a state so natural and perfect..."
“ dāng nián wǒ men tiān jī jiè shǒu xí zhǎng lǎo 、 shàng guān tuò ， céng jīng xiǎng yào wán quán zhǎng kòng 【 zǔ 】， yú shì bīng xíng xiǎn zhe 、 jiāng zì shēn shén hún róng rù 【 zǔ 】 de cán pò hé xīn 。”
“当年我们天机界首席长老、上官拓，曾经想要完全掌控【祖】，于是兵行险着、将自身神魂融入【祖】的残破核心。”
The Craftsmanship Sage's eyes sparkled with excitement, almost showing signs of obsession.
“ jié guǒ zì rán méi yǒu chéng gōng ， hái chà diǎn yǐn dé tiān jī jiè huǐ miè 。 zì cóng nà zhī hòu ， lèi sì de cháng shì jiù bèi jué duì jìn zhǐ le 。 wǒ men tiān jī jiè liàn qì zhī shù suī rán pǒ yǒu zào huà ， dàn shì xiàng zhè bān jìn hū tiān rán 、 wán měi de zhuàng tài ……”
“结果自然没有成功，还差点引得天机界毁灭。自从那之后，类似的尝试就被绝对禁止了。我们天机界炼器之术虽然颇有造化，但是像这般近乎天然、完美的状态……”
Although Tianyang was dull-witted, he had long recovered from his daze. He cautiously observed the Craftsmanship Sage and stealthily moved to Li Fan’s side.
qiǎo gōng jū shì yǎn zhōng jīng xǐ lián lián ， shèn zhì jiàn jiàn lù chū chī mí de shén sè 。
巧工居士眼中惊喜连连，甚至渐渐露出痴迷的神色。
"Haha, this is the marvel of the myriad cultivation realms—each has its unique wonders. This technique is called Body as Dao; it allows one to transform into objects and merge with them. Craftsman friend, after watching for so long, do you have any insights on enhancing Tianyang?" Li Fan asked with a smile.
tiān yáng suī rán mù nè ， dàn zǎo yǐ jīng tuō lí le shén zhì bù qīng de zhuàng tài 。 tā jǐng tì de dǎ liàng zhe qiǎo gōng jū shì ， qiǎo rán yí bù dào le lǐ fán shēn páng 。
天阳虽然木讷，但早已经脱离了神志不清的状态。他警惕的打量着巧工居士，悄然移步到了李凡身旁。
"I do! I’m teeming with ideas! It’s... " The Craftsmanship Sage's face flushed with excitement as if he had discovered something new and exciting.
“ hē hē ， zhè jiù shì xiū xiān wàn jiè 、 gè yǒu qí miào le 。 cǐ fǎ míng wèi shēn huà dào ， kě yǐ shēn huà wù 、 wù wǒ xiāng hé 。 qiǎo gōng dào yǒu kàn le zhè me jiǔ ， duì yú tiān yáng de qiáng huà ， kě yǒu sī lù ？” lǐ fán xiào zhe wèn dào 。
“呵呵，这就是修仙万界、各有其妙了。此法名为身化道，可以身化物、物我相合。巧工道友看了这么久，对于天阳的强化，可有思路？”李凡笑着问道。
"If Tianyang were in our Destiny Realm back then, it would have caused a huge sensation! Perhaps even changed the course of history!"
“ yǒu sī lù ， wǒ kě tài yǒu sī lù le ！ wǒ jiǎn zhí ……” qiǎo gōng jū shì jiù xiàng fā xiàn le shén me xīn qí de wán jù bān ， liǎn sè yīn wèi xīng fèn ér zhǎng de tōng hóng 。
“有思路，我可太有思路了！我简直……”巧工居士就像发现了什么新奇的玩具般，脸色因为兴奋而涨的通红。
"Our imitations of the Ancestral puppet are still far from its original state. The key issue is that we lack sufficient materials to fully replicate them each time. Without being able to communicate with the puppets, but if Tianyang were to assist..."
“ rú guǒ tiān yáng dào yǒu dāng nián chū xiàn zài wǒ men tiān jī jiè ， bì dìng huì yǐn qǐ jù dà de hōng dòng ！ shuō bù dìng jiù cǐ néng chè dǐ gǎi biàn tiān jī jiè de lì shǐ ！”
“如果天阳道友当年出现在我们天机界，必定会引起巨大的轰动！说不定就此能彻底改变天机界的历史！”
"Perhaps all of Ancestral’s functions could be realized..."
“ wǒ men fǎng zhì de tiān jī kuǐ lěi ， jù lí tā men de yuán xíng 【 zǔ 】， hái yǒu zhe xiāng dāng dà de chā jù 。 zuì guān jiàn de yì diǎn jiù shì ， cái liào zī yuán yǒu xiàn 、 měi cì dōu xū yào wán quán zhì zuò chéng xíng ， zài jìn xíng bǐ duì 。 yīn wèi méi bàn fǎ gēn kuǐ lěi jìn xíng gōu tōng ， ér rú guǒ yǒu tiān yáng dào yǒu xiāng zhù ……”
“我们仿制的天机傀儡，距离它们的原型【祖】，还有着相当大的差距。最关键的一点就是，材料资源有限、每次都需要完全制作成型，再进行比对。因为没办法跟傀儡进行沟通，而如果有天阳道友相助……”
"Of course, perhaps your Dao Flower Power would also be needed." At this point, the Craftsmanship Sage turned his gaze towards Li Fan.
“ zǔ de zhū duō gōng néng ， huò xǔ jiù néng yī yī shí xiàn le ……”
“祖的诸多功能，或许就能一一实现了……”
"Haha, Craftsman friend, go ahead," Li Fan said generously.
“ dāng rán ， huò xǔ xū yào dào yǒu dào zhī huā lì liàng de xiāng zhù 。” qiǎo gōng jū shì zhè shí zhuǎn tóu kàn xiàng lǐ fán 。
“当然，或许需要道友道之花力量的相助。”巧工居士这时转头看向李凡。
After sensing Tianyang's doubts about the Craftsmanship Sage's reliability, Li Fan privately reassured himself before finally dispelling Tianyang’s suspicions.
“ hē hē ， qiǎo gōng dào yǒu jǐn guǎn wèi zhī 。” lǐ fán shí fēn dà fāng de dǎ bāo piào dào 。
“呵呵，巧工道友尽管为之。”李凡十分大方的打包票道。
Watching the Craftsmanship Sage and Tianyang disappear, Li Fan flashed to the central underground chamber.
chá jué dào tiān yáng chuán lái de guān yú qiǎo gōng jū shì kào bù kào pǔ de yí wèn ， lǐ fán àn zì ān fǔ le yī fān hòu ， cái zhōng yú dǎ xiāo le tiān yáng de yí lǜ 。
察觉到天阳传来的关于巧工居士靠不靠谱的疑问，李凡暗自安抚了一番后，才终于打消了天阳的疑虑。
"Can source energy enhance a treasure?"
mù sòng qiǎo gōng jū shì yǔ tiān yáng yī qí xiāo shī ， lǐ fán shǎn shēn lái dào zhōng yāng dì xià mì shì zhōng 。
目送巧工居士与天阳一齐消失，李凡闪身来到中央地下密室中。
Li Fan summoned the End-Disintegration Disc.
“ yuán lì kě zuò yòng 、 shēng huá fǎ bǎo ？”
“源力可作用、升华法宝？”
After some contemplation, he did not use the essence of the Faceless Stone Statue or the Source Energy gathered by the Lives of All. Instead, he used his own cultivation feedback from practicing the True Reality Technique.
lǐ fán huàn chū zhōng mò jiě lí dié 。
李凡唤出终末解离碟。
A shattered劫身 (transient body) lay within his dantian.
chén yín piàn kè zhī hòu ， méi yǒu xuǎn zé yòng wú miàn shí xiàng shēng chéng de yuán lì jīng cuì 。 yě méi yǒu yòng cāng shēng líng yuán gōng huì jù ér chéng de yuán lì 。
沉吟片刻之后，没有选择用无面石像生成的源力精粹。也没有用苍生灵元功汇聚而成的源力。
---
ér shì zhǐ yòng le zì jǐ xiū xíng zuò xiān jué dé dào de fǎn kuì xiū wèi 。
而是只用了自己修行坐仙诀得到的反馈修为。
Under Li Fan's guidance, a large amount of stored cultivation energy surged towards the End-Disintegration Disc.
dān tián nèi de yī jù jié shēn pò suì 。
丹田内的一具劫身破碎。
Upon careful observation, most of the source energy was not absorbed but instead returned unchanged. Without a cultivator to contain it, it would eventually dissipate into the void.
dà liàng cún chǔ de xiū wèi ， zài lǐ fán de zhǐ yǐn xià ， cháo zhe zhōng mò jiě lí dié chōng shuā ér qù 。
大量存储的修为，在李凡的指引下，朝着终末解离碟冲刷而去。
However, Li Fan noticed that a tiny portion of the source energy seemingly vanished upon contact with the End-Disintegration Disc!
lǐ fán zǐ xì guān chá zhī xià ， fā xiàn jué dà duō shù de yuán lì ， bìng méi yǒu bèi qí xī shōu 。
李凡仔细观察之下，发现绝大多数的源力，并没有被其吸收。
His eyes narrowed as he generated new transient bodies and continued to flush the source energy towards the disc, akin to sifting through sand.
ér shì yuán fēng bù dòng de fǎn dàng huí lái 。
而是原封不动的反荡回来。
Gradually, the End-Disintegration Disc began to change. While its external appearance did not reveal much, the speed of its disintegration array was undeniable.
rú guǒ méi yǒu xiū shì jiāng qí shōu nà ， zuì zhōng jiāng huǎn huǎn xiāo sàn yú tiān dì zhī jiān 。
如果没有修士将其收纳，最终将缓缓消散于天地之间。
"Some treasures develop a spirit over time, becoming more responsive as if an extension of one's arm. This process is somewhat similar."
dàn lǐ fán hái mǐn ruì de chá jué dào ， hái shì yǒu jí shǎo yī bù fèn yuán lì ， zài gēn zhōng mò jiě lí dié jiē chù de guò chéng zhōng ， píng kōng xiāo shī le ！
但李凡还敏锐的察觉到，还是有极少一部分源力，在跟终末解离碟接触的过程中，凭空消失了！
Feeling the deepening and increasingly obvious bond between himself and the End-Disintegration Disc, Li Fan had an epiphany.
lǐ fán yǎn jīng wēi mī ， yī biān shēng chéng xīn de jié shēn 、 chóng xīn shōu lǒng sàn yì de yuán lì 。
李凡眼睛微眯，一边生成新的劫身、重新收拢散溢的源力。
Unfortunately, every object has its limits.
yī biān jì xù yòng yuán lì chōng shuā zhōng mò jiě lí dié 。
一边继续用源力冲刷终末解离碟。
Through source energy extraction, he managed to boost the disc’s capabilities by about a fifth. After that, the source energy became ineffective.
rú cǐ ， hǎo sì dà làng táo shā 。
如此，好似大浪淘沙。
"Better than nothing, I suppose. But I wonder if this method can be used again after the Disintegration Disc absorbs the Nine Discs of this world and undergoes a qualitative change," Li Fan thought.
màn màn de ， zhōng mò jiě lí dié zhōng jiū shì fā shēng le gǎi biàn 。
慢慢的，终末解离碟终究是发生了改变。
Sure enough, three days later, Li Fan received a message from Mo Rujin.
zhǐ shì wài biǎo guān chá ， hěn nán biàn bié chū biàn huà zhēn de fā shēng 。 dàn shì jiě lí dié tuī yǎn zhèn fǎ sù dù de tí shēng ， què shì zuò bù dé jiǎ de 。
只是外表观察，很难辨别出变化真的发生。但是解离碟推衍阵法速度的提升，却是做不得假的。
The meeting place remained the hidden cave. He now held the nine disintegration discs in hand.
“ yǒu xiē fǎ bǎo ， xiū shì shǐ yòng de jiǔ le ， jiù huì màn màn dàn shēng chū líng xìng 、 rú bì zhǐ shǐ ， fā huī chū gèng qiáng de xiào yòng 。 shí zé jiù gēn zhè ge guò chéng yǒu xiē lèi sì 。”
“有些法宝，修士使用的久了，就会慢慢诞生出灵性、如臂指使，发挥出更强的效用。实则就跟这个过程有些类似。”
Upon seeing Mo Rujin again, Li Fan noticed some changes.
chá jué zhe zì jǐ gēn zhōng mò jiě lí dié zhī jiān ， yuè lái yuè shēn 、 yuè lái yuè míng xiǎn de jī bàn ， lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ wù 。
察觉着自己跟终末解离碟之间，越来越深、越来越明显的羁绊，李凡若有所悟。
"Hmm? You seem different?" Li Fan asked straightforwardly.
kě xī měi gè wù tǐ dōu yǒu zhe zì jǐ de shàng xiàn 。
可惜每个物体都有着自己的上限。
Mo Rujin smiled and admitted, "Haha, indeed, my brother Xingwang’s keen eye has caught me out! I have diligently served the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, resolving one trouble after another. My efforts are well-known, so the Council of Transmitters naturally rewards me."
tōng guò yuán lì de cuì qǔ ， shǐ de zhōng mò jiě lí dié de néng lì zuì zhōng tí shēng le dà yuē wǔ fēn zhī yī 。
通过源力的萃取，使得终末解离碟的能力最终提升了大约五分之一。
"But isn't the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance your domain? Just take what you want; why do you need a reward?" Li Fan said half-jokingly.
cǐ hòu yuán lì jiù duì qí wú yòng le 。
此后源力就对其无用了。
"We can’t say that. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is ultimately under the stewardship of the Transmitter Supreme Deity. We transmitters, lens keepers, and Illusory Truth Sage merely manage on his behalf," Mo Rujin said with righteous conviction.
“ liào shèng yú wú ba 。 jiù shì bù zhī dào ， dāng jiě lí dié xī shōu wán le cǐ shì de jiǔ dié ， fā shēng zhì biàn zhī hòu 。 hái néng bù néng zài yòng zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ cuì liàn yī fān 。” lǐ fán xīn zhōng àn dào 。
“廖胜于无吧。就是不知道，当解离碟吸收完了此世的九碟，发生质变之后。还能不能再用这种方法淬炼一番。”李凡心中暗道。
He then laughed boisterously.
xiǎng shén me lái shén me 。
想什么来什么。
"However, everything in this Ten Thousand Realms Treasury is truly not ordinary. This unexpected bounty is a pleasant surprise." Without revealing what he had received, Mo Rujin began to describe the Ten Thousand Realms Treasury.
sān tiān zhī hòu ， lǐ fán zhōng yú shōu dào le mò rú bīn de chuán xùn 。
三天之后，李凡终于收到了墨儒斌的传讯。
In fact, all the treasures within were gathered by the Transmitter Supreme Deity from the corpses of cultivators who had merged with the Xuanhuang Realm.
huì miàn dì diǎn yī jiù shì nà chù yǐn nì dòng tiān ， jiǔ méi jiě lí dié yǐ jīng ná dào shǒu le 。
会面地点依旧是那处隐匿洞天，九枚解离碟已经拿到手了。
The Darkest Star Sea only left behind the Xuanhuang Realm as a survivor. Other cultivation realms either fell into the Immortal Void or were devoured by the Xuanhuang Realm.
dāng lǐ fán zài dù jiàn dào mò rú bīn zhī hòu ， fā xiàn tā shēn shàng sì hū yǒu le mǒu zhǒng biàn huà 。
当李凡再度见到墨儒斌之后，发现他身上似乎有了某种变化。
All these treasures ended up in this treasury, truly deserving its name.
“ ń ？ nǐ sì hū yǒu xiē bù yí yàng le ？” lǐ fán shí fēn gěng zhí de zhí jiē wèn dào 。
“嗯？你似乎有些不一样了？”李凡十分耿直的直接问道。
"Truly a treasure of myriad realms."
mò rú bīn xiào le xiào ， méi yǒu yǐn mán ：“ hā hā hā ， guǒ rán mán bù guò xīng wàng xiōng dì nǐ de fǎ yǎn ！”
墨儒斌笑了笑，没有隐瞒：“哈哈哈，果然瞒不过兴旺兄弟你的法眼！”
Only those chosen by the Transmitter Supreme Deity could gain such value.
“ wǒ xīn kǔ wèi wàn xiān méng cāo láo ， bǎi píng le yī zhuāng yòu yī zhuāng de má fán 。 gōng láo kě wèi shì yǒu mù gòng dǔ ， chuán fǎ zhě yì huì zì rán yǒu jiǎng lì cì xià 。” mò rú bīn liǎn shàng bù wú dé yì de shuō dào 。
“我辛苦为万仙盟操劳，摆平了一桩又一桩的麻烦。功劳可谓是有目共睹，传法者议会自然有奖励赐下。”墨儒斌脸上不无得意的说道。
Li Fan’s mind conjured an image of the Transmitter Supreme Deity laboriously pulling apart the fragments of cultivation realms from the starry expanse, collecting their treasures before fusing them into the Xuanhuang Realm.
“ wàn xiān méng bù dōu shì nǐ men chuán fǎ zhě de me ？ xiǎng yào shén me zì jǐ ná biàn shì 。 hái yào shén me jiǎng lì ？” lǐ fán bàn xiào 、 bàn jī fěng dào 。
“万仙盟不都是你们传法者的么？想要什么自己拿便是。还要什么奖励？”李凡半笑、半讥讽道。
"Unfortunately, only the Council of Transmitters can open this treasury. I couldn’t even indulge in personal gain. It would have been a boon for my brother Xingwang," Mo Rujin said with a smile.
“ kě bù néng zhè me shuō ， wàn xiān méng shǐ zhōng dōu shì chuán fǎ tiān zūn tā lǎo rén jiā de 。 wǒ men chuán fǎ zhě 、 zhǎng jìng rén ， yǐ jí huàn zhēn xián zhě ， bù guò shì tì chuán fǎ tiān zūn dài guǎn ér yǐ 。” mò rú bīn yī liǎn zhèng qì 、 xiàng mú xiàng yàng de shuō dào 。
“可不能这么说，万仙盟始终都是传法天尊他老人家的。我们传法者、掌镜人，以及幻真贤者，不过是替传法天尊代管而已。”墨儒斌一脸正气、像模像样的说道。
Li Fan responded coldly: "They are just external objects like these nine disintegration discs—tools that ultimately depend on our efforts."
ér hòu hā hā dà xiào 。
而后哈哈大笑。
Mo Rujin’s expression changed, and he solemnly replied, "My brother is right. I’ve been too complacent."
“ bù guò zhè 【 wàn jiè bǎo kù 】 lǐ de dōng xī ， dàng zhēn gè gè dōu bú shì fán pǐn 。 zhè cì néng yǒu dà shōu huò ， yě shì yì wài zhī xǐ 。” mò rú bīn méi yǒu jiǎng zì jǐ jiū jìng dé dào le shén me ， ér shì jiè shào qǐ zhè wàn jiè bǎo kù lái 。
“不过这【万界宝库】里的东西，当真个个都不是凡品。这次能有大收获，也是意外之喜。”墨儒斌没有讲自己究竟得到了什么，而是介绍起这万界宝库来。
Li Fan snorted but said no more, merely staring at the nine translucent, shimmering disintegration discs Mo Rujin casually handed over.
yuán lái ， zhè wàn jiè bǎo kù nèi ， dōu shì chuán fǎ tiān zūn sōu guā nà xiē gēn xuán huáng jiè róng hé de nà xiē xiū xiān jiè shī tǐ ， ér dé dào de zhū duō bǎo wù 。
原来，这万界宝库内，都是传法天尊搜刮那些跟玄黄界融合的那些修仙界尸体，而得到的诸多宝物。
He forcibly suppressed the overwhelming desire that suddenly surged in his mind palace.
zhì àn xīng hǎi nèi ， wéi yǒu xuán huáng jiè xìng cún 。
至暗星海内，唯有玄黄界幸存。

Since Tianyang appeared before him, the Craftsmanship Sage's gaze never left his figure.
"Zz-zz-zz..."
The Craftsmanship Sage sized up Tianyang from head to toe and exclaimed in amazement. "Truly remarkable, truly remarkable."
