jí biàn zǎo yǐ jīng zhī xiǎo shì qíng de qián yīn hòu guǒ ， cǐ fān yòu guān kàn yī biàn de lǐ fán ， zài dù miàn duì xiān xū zhī wēi 、 réng rán gǎn dào xiē xǔ de jīng xīn dòng pò 。
即便早已经知晓事情的前因后果，此番又观看一遍的李凡，再度面对仙墟之威、仍然感到些许的惊心动魄。
Even though Li Fan was already aware of the entire sequence of events, he still felt a touch of awe and trepidation as he watched it all over again.
huà miàn bō fàng wán bì zhī hòu ， liǔ rú chén xū yǐng zé shì jiāo dài qǐ le yí zhǔ 。
画面播放完毕之后，柳如尘虚影则是交代起了遗嘱。
After the video playback ended, Liu Luchen's ghostly figure began to recite his will.
yóu yì zi liǔ yī háng dài rèn yào wáng zōng zōng zhǔ zhī wèi ， qí yú zhū duō zhǎng lǎo yuàn yì fú chí 、 bāng máng zuì hǎo 。
由义子柳一航代任药王宗宗主之位，其余诸多长老愿意扶持、帮忙最好。
Liu Yihang would temporarily take up the position of the Sect Master. If any of the other elders were willing to support him, that was best. But if not, they could leave the sect without being forced.
ruò shì bù yuàn yì ， kě zì xíng tuō lí yào wáng zōng ， bìng bù qiǎng qiú 。
若是不愿意，可自行脱离药王宗，并不强求。
After returning to Xuanhuang World, don't rush into revenge. Instead, stay hidden in Longevity Valley and wait for an opportunity, he instructed.
fǎn huí xuán huáng jiè hòu ， bú yào zháo jí fù chóu ， yú cháng shēng gǔ zhōng zhé fú qǐ lái 、 jìng dài shí jī yún yún 。
返回玄黄界后，不要着急复仇，于长生谷中蛰伏起来、静待时机云云。
This was consistent with what Li Fan had previously known. However, instead of leaving immediately after gaining control over the True Cauldron of Medicine, Li Fan chose to remain in the control room, waiting.
gēn cǐ qián suǒ zhī yī yàng 。
跟此前所知一样。
Even as Liu Luchen's ghostly figure completely dissipated, Li Fan did not leave either. He patiently waited for a while but saw no signs of anything happening.
dàn shì lǐ fán zàn shí dé dào le yào wáng zhēn dǐng de kòng zhì quán hòu ， què méi yǒu zháo jí lí qù 。
但是李凡暂时得到了药王真鼎的控制权后，却没有着急离去。
After some contemplation, Li Fan activated the disc rapidly, and an array was formed.
ér shì jì xù zài zhè kòng zhì shì zhōng děng hòu 。
而是继续在这控制室中等候。
A cold light appeared in his eyes as he set up the array in the control room. The primary function of this array was to reveal all hidden residual souls!
liǔ rú chén de xū yǐng chè dǐ sàn qù hòu ， yě méi yǒu lí kāi 。
柳如尘的虚影彻底散去后，也没有离开。
Indeed, Li Fan suspected that Liu Luchen, the Sect Master of Medicine, had not truly died!
nài xīn děng le xiǎo bàn tiān ， yī jiù sì hū méi yǒu duān ní fā shēng 。
耐心等了小半天，依旧似乎没有端倪发生。
This wasn't a mere guess. After all, Li Fan had seen many things—mechanisms, arrays, and prohibitions in his vast experience.
lǐ fán chén yín piàn kè ， zhōng mò jiě lí dié kuài sù yùn zhuàn ， yí gè zhèn fǎ suí zhī shēng chéng 。
李凡沉吟片刻，终末解离碟快速运转，一个阵法随之生成。
The ghostly figure before him, however, did not fit into this category. There must be some force supporting it to maintain the image of such a long speech.
yǎn zhōng mào chū yī sī hán guāng ， lǐ fán qǐng kè jiān zài kòng zhì shì zhōng bù xià zhèn fǎ 。
眼中冒出一丝寒光，李凡顷刻间在控制室中布下阵法。
Since all other options were ruled out, the only remaining possibility was Liu Luchen's own soul power!
zhèn fǎ de zhǔ yào zuò yòng ， jiù shì ràng suǒ yǒu yǐn cáng qǐ lái de cán hún wú suǒ dùn xíng ！
阵法的主要作用，就是让所有隐藏起来的残魂无所遁形！
With the array activated, Li Fan watched as waves of light continuously swept through space, revealing a more and more blurred figure!
méi cuò ， lǐ fán huái yí ， yào wáng zōng liǔ rú chén bìng méi yǒu wán quán sǐ qù ！
没错，李凡怀疑，药王宗柳如尘并没有完全死去！
Indeed, just like what he had anticipated, this figure was forced to reveal itself. Even their mental communication seemed impossible, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.
bìng bú shì wú duān cāi cè 。
并不是无端猜测。
Feeling the faint despair and helplessness transmitted by the other side, Li Fan snorted coldly.
xū zhī ， rú jīn de lǐ fán kān chēng jiàn duō shí guǎng 。
须知，如今的李凡堪称见多时广。
He grabbed Liu Luchen with his hand and infused him with source energy influenced by the Faceless True Immortal, slowly making the latter's soul clearer.
jī guān 、 zhèn fǎ 、 jìn zhì ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de cún zài shén me méi yǒu jiàn guò ？
机关、阵法、禁制，各种各样的存在什么没有见过？
Liu Luchen appeared in Li Fan’s perception network as his soul became more distinct.
ér yǎn qián zhè bān bù yí zhǔ de xū yǐng ， què bìng bù zài cǐ lèi zhī liè 。
而眼前这颁布遗嘱的虚影，却并不在此类之列。
"Master Liu, your trick of the golden cicada shedding its shell was quite impressive; you nearly fooled even the main body," Li Fan said indifferently.
néng gòu wéi chí yǐng xiàng shuō wán zhè yī dà chuàn ， zì rán yǒu mǒu zhǒng lì liàng zhī chēng 。
能够维持影像说完这一大串，自然有某种力量支撑。
"I jest, friend." Liu Luchen's expression turned bitter. "I wonder what sect you belong to?" he asked cautiously.
jì rán yǐ shàng wài wù xuǎn xiàng dōu bèi pái chú ， nà me shèng xià de wéi yī kě néng ， jiù shì liǔ rú chén zì jǐ de shén hún lì liàng ！
既然以上外物选项都被排除，那么剩下的唯一可能，就是柳如尘自己的神魂力量！
"The Celestial Sky Sect," Li Fan replied with a wicked smile.
zhèn fǎ jì chéng ， suí zhe yī dào dào héng zòng jiāo cuò de guāng bō bù duàn zài kōng jiān zhōng sǎo guò 。
阵法既成，随着一道道横纵交错的光波不断在空间中扫过。
"Ah?!" Liu Luchen’s soul trembled; it was already weak and now seemed on the verge of collapse.
guǒ rán gēn lǐ fán suǒ yù xiǎng de yī yàng ， yī dào yù fā mó hú de shēn yǐng ， bèi pò zài dù xiǎn chū shēn xíng ！
果然跟李凡所预想的一样，一道愈发模糊的身影，被迫再度显出身形！
After stabilizing his mind, Liu Luchen said shakily, "This joke should not be played lightly..."
lián shén shí jiāo liú dōu wú fǎ zuò dào ， fǎng fú suí shí dōu yào hún fēi pò sàn 。
连神识交流都无法做到，仿佛随时都要魂飞魄散。
Before he could finish, blood moon shadows appeared behind Li Fan. The oppressive aura far exceeded that of ancient daoists, and even just their presence nearly shattered Liu Luchen's weak soul.
gǎn jué dào duì fāng yǐn yǐn chuán lái de wú nài yǔ jué wàng ， lǐ fán lěng hēng yī shēng 。
感觉到对方隐隐传来的无奈与绝望，李凡冷哼一声。
"Do you think I am lying? Your Medicine King Sect fled only a few hours ago, but Xuanhuang World has already passed thousands of years!" Li Fan sneered.
shēn shǒu jiāng liǔ rú chén zhuā zài shǒu zhōng 。
伸手将柳如尘抓在手中。
Liu Luchen finally realized the truth: "What? Thousands of years?"
sī háo méi yǒu kè qì ， bāo hán wú miàn zhēn xiān yǐng xiǎng de yuán lì 、 bèi lǐ fán xú xú guàn shū qí zhōng 。
丝毫没有客气，包含无面真仙影响的源力、被李凡徐徐灌输其中。
He calculated with his fingers and confirmed that Li Fan was not lying. His face turned even paler as he said, "I knew it would affect time and space but never thought it would be so severe."
liǔ rú chén shén hún biàn dé màn màn qīng xī de tóng shí ， tā běn rén yě chū xiàn zài le lǐ fán de gǎn yìng wǎng luò zhī zhōng 。
柳如尘神魂变得慢慢清晰的同时，他本人也出现在了李凡的感应网络之中。
Although shocked, Liu Luchen quickly regained composure as a sect leader.
“ liǔ zōng zhǔ zhè yī zhāo jīn chán tuō qiào wán de bù cuò ， xiǎn xiē lián běn zūn dōu piàn guò le 。” lǐ fán dàn dàn dì shuō dào 。
“柳宗主这一招金蝉脱壳玩的不错，险些连本尊都骗过了。”李凡淡淡地说道。
"Given this, has the Celestial Sky Sect successfully restored its power?" Liu Luchen asked cautiously.
“ dào yǒu shuō xiào le 。” liǔ rú chén miàn lù kǔ sè 。
“道友说笑了。”柳如尘面露苦涩。
"Hmm," Li Fan smiled faintly. He then pointed slightly and transmitted the current state of Xuanhuang World to him.
“ bù zhī dào yǒu shēn chū hé zōng ？” tā shì tàn xìng de wèn dào 。
“不知道友身出何宗？”他试探性的问道。
After understanding the massive changes over a thousand years, Liu Luchen fell silent for a long time.
“ xuán tiān jiào 。” lǐ fán xié xiào dào 。
“玄天教。”李凡邪笑道。
"Ha, I occasionally learned about your Medicine King Sect's departure in ancient times. Recently, I saw a meteor streak across the sky, and out of curiosity, I figured it out," Li Fan said with a hint of killing intent.
“ ń ？！” liǔ rú chén shén hún yī zhèn ， běn jiù bù zěn me níng shí 。 cǐ kè tīng dào lǐ fán de huà zhī hòu ， gèng shì yào suí shí bēng jiě kāi lái 。
“嗯？！”柳如尘神魂一震，本就不怎么凝实。此刻听到李凡的话之后，更是要随时崩解开来。
"But now, things are different. To overthrow the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and re-establish the Celestial Sky Sect, we need to gather all possible forces," he continued.
hǎo bù róng yì wěn dìng le xīn shén ， liǔ rú chén xīn yǒu yú jì dào ：“ zhè ge wán xiào hái shì bú yào luàn kāi de hǎo ……”
好不容易稳定了心神，柳如尘心有余悸道：“这个玩笑还是不要乱开的好……”
"So, give your Medicine King Sect one chance..."
huà yīn wèi luò ， lǐ fán shēn hòu wú lùn xuè yuè xū yǐng jiù chà nà fú xiàn 。
话音未落，李凡身后无论血月虚影就刹那浮现。
Li Fan looked at Liu Luchen with fierce eyes.
yī gǔ yuǎn chāo shàng gǔ hé dào xiū shì de wēi yā xiǎn lù ， jǐn jǐn shì qì xī ， jiù xiǎn xiē bǎ liǔ rú chén rú jīn chán ruò de shén hún wán quán zhèn suì 。
一股远超上古合道修士的威压显露，仅仅是气息，就险些把柳如尘如今孱弱的神魂完全震碎。
Liu Luchen had no other choice; not only his own life but also the lives of the disciples sleeping in the Medicine King Cauldron were entirely in Li Fan's hands.
“ nǐ yǐ wéi wǒ shuō de shì jiǎ huà ？ nǐ men yào wáng zōng yuǎn dùn bù guò bàn tiān guāng jǐng ， dàn xuán huáng jiè yǐ jīng shì shù qiān nián guò qù le ！” lǐ fán lěng xiào dào 。
“你以为我说的是假话？你们药王宗远遁不过半天光景，但玄黄界已经是数千年过去了！”李凡冷笑道。
Liu Luchen reluctantly agreed.
liǔ rú chén zhè cái rú mèng chū xǐng ：“ shén me ？ shù qiān nián ？”
柳如尘这才如梦初醒：“什么？数千年？”
"Hmph, your opinion is irrelevant anyway. Since you've already pledged to Red Dust Benevolent True Immortal, you can't escape," Li Fan said with a smile.
tā qiā zhǐ yī suàn ， què dìng le lǐ fán méi yǒu shuō huǎng 。
他掐指一算，确定了李凡没有说谎。
Recalling the Faceless stone statue that suddenly appeared in his soul, Liu Luchen felt a shiver down his spine.
běn jiù xū wú de miàn kǒng biàn dé yù fā cǎn bái qǐ lái ：“ zhī dào huì duì shí kōng chǎn shēng yǐng xiǎng ， què méi xiǎng dào jìng rán dào le rú cǐ dì bù 。”
本就虚无的面孔变得愈发惨白起来：“知道会对时空产生影响，却没想到竟然到了如此地步。”
Li Fan temporarily stored Liu Luchen and the Medicine King Cauldron within his daoist realm. He then returned to the Spirit Wood World and summoned Craftsmanship Hermit.
suī rán shí fēn zhèn hàn ， dàn liǔ rú chén bì jìng shì yī zōng zhī zhǔ ， hěn kuài jiù zhèn dìng le xià lái 。
虽然十分震撼，但柳如尘毕竟是一宗之主，很快就镇定了下来。
The hermit was studying the divine manifestation of Heavenly Yang when Li Fan interrupted him, looking somewhat displeased.
“ rú cǐ shuō lái ， shì xuán tiān jiào fù bì chéng gōng 、 zhòng zhǎng dà quán le ？” liǔ rú chén xiǎo xīn yì yì dì wèn dào 。
“如此说来，是玄天教复辟成功、重掌大权了？”柳如尘小心翼翼地问道。
"Can you craft a puppet for my friend who lost his body due to some unforeseen circumstances?" Li Fan asked directly.
“ hē hē 。” lǐ fán sì xiào fēi xiào ， ér hòu wēi wēi yī zhǐ ， jiāng rú jīn xuán huáng jiè de dà zhì xíng shì chuán le guò qù 。
“呵呵。”李凡似笑非笑，而后微微一指，将如今玄黄界的大致形式传了过去。
With Liu Luchen’s current soul strength, maintaining even a semblance of form was difficult, let alone the possibility of retraining.
liǎo jiě le qiān nián jù biàn de liǔ rú chén ， jiǔ jiǔ wú yán 。
了解了千年巨变的柳如尘，久久无言。
Craftsmanship Hermit glanced at Liu Luchen and nodded. "No problem! But it will just be an ordinary puppet; he was a daoist cultivator before, right? The puppet's body won't fully utilize his original strength."
“ hēng ， wǒ ǒu ěr jiān zhī xiǎo le nǐ men yào wáng zōng zài shàng gǔ zhī shí lí qù de yì wén 。 qián bù jiǔ yòu kàn dào huǒ liú xīng huá guò tiān kōng ， xīn xuè lái cháo zhī xià ， jiù suàn chū liǎo shì qíng de qián yīn hòu guǒ 。”
“哼，我偶尔间知晓了你们药王宗在上古之时离去的佚闻。前不久又看到火流星划过天空，心血来潮之下，就算出了事情的前因后果。”
"Just make sure it can move," Li Fan said indifferently. Reviving Liu Luchen was merely to better control the Medicine King Sect.
“ àn zhào wǒ men xuán tiān jiào de guī jǔ ， xiàng nǐ men zhè zhǒng yú chǔn yòu wú néng de pàn tú ， yì bān dōu shì yào quán bù chǔ sǐ de hǎo 。” lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī shā qì 。
“按照我们玄天教的规矩，像你们这种愚蠢又无能的叛徒，一般都是要全部处死的好。”李凡眼中闪过一丝杀气。
With no real fruits of true cause and effect left, directly threatening or bribing the sect members might be risky.
bù guò suí hòu huà fēng yī zhuǎn ：“ bù guò ma ， jīn shí bù tóng wǎng rì 。 xiǎng yào tuī fān wàn xiān méng ， zhòng lì xuán tiān jiào ， xū yào jí jié yī qiè néng jié hé de lì liàng 。”
不过随后话锋一转：“不过嘛，今时不同往日。想要推翻万仙盟，重立玄天教，需要集结一切能结合的力量。”
After all, there had been a similar trend in his previous life.
“ suǒ yǐ gěi nǐ men yào wáng zōng yí gè jī huì ……”
“所以给你们药王宗一个机会……”
As long as Liu Luchen was around, he wouldn't worry about the sect going out of control.
lǐ fán kàn zhe liǔ rú chén ， mù lù xiōng guāng 。
李凡看着柳如尘，目露凶光。
Craftsmanship Hermit muttered to himself and asked for some materials from Li Fan. Having lived in Xuanhuang World for years, all the materials Craftsmanship Hermit needed were native to this world.
liǔ rú chén nǎ lǐ hái yǒu qí tā xuǎn zé ？ bù jǐn jǐn shì zì jǐ ， yào wáng dǐng nèi chén mián de dì zǐ de xìng mìng ， yě quán zài duì fāng de yí niàn zhī jiān 。
柳如尘哪里还有其他选择？不仅仅是自己，药王鼎内沉眠的弟子的性命，也全在对方的一念之间。
Li Fan quickly gathered them.
liǔ rú chén zhǐ dé dā yìng xià lái 。
柳如尘只得答应下来。
"By the way..."
“ hēng ， qí shí nǐ de yì jiàn bìng bú zhòng yào 。 jì rán yǐ jīng bài guò hóng chén cí bēi zhēn xiān ， nǐ xiǎng táo yě táo bù liǎo le 。” lǐ fán xiào zhe shuō dào 。
“哼，其实你的意见并不重要。既然已经拜过红尘慈悲真仙，你想逃也逃不了了。”李凡笑着说道。
"Can you provide some source energy essence? I haven't used it before; I should try my hand at it."
liǔ rú chén huí xiǎng qǐ cǐ qián tū wù chū xiàn zài zì jǐ shén hún zhōng de nà zūn wú miàn shí xiàng ， bù yóu xīn zhōng yī zhèn jì dòng 。
柳如尘回想起此前突兀出现在自己神魂中的那尊无面石像，不由心中一阵悸动。
Just as he was about to forge the puppet, Craftsmanship Hermit suddenly requested something. He explained, "I need to test using the source energy essence since I've never used it before."
zàn shí jiāng liǔ rú chén yǐ jí yào wáng dǐng shōu rù dòng tiān zhī zhōng ， lǐ fán fǎn huí líng mù jiè ， hǎn lái le qiǎo gōng jū shì 。
暂时将柳如尘以及药王鼎收入洞天之中，李凡返回灵木界，喊来了巧工居士。
"I might as well use it on Heavenly Yang Little Brother," Li Fan said hesitantly.
zhèng yán jiū tiān yáng chū shén ， cǐ kè bèi lǐ fán dǎ rǎo ， qiǎo gōng jū shì liǎn shàng yǒu xiē bù lè yì 。
正研究天阳出神，此刻被李凡打扰，巧工居士脸上有些不乐意。
Craftsmanship Hermit's face lit up with excitement. He seemed to have discarded his previous plan and asked for more materials from Li Fan before starting to forge the puppet.
“ wǒ zhè wèi péng yǒu yīn wèi mǒu xiē yì wài shī qù le shēn qū ， kě fǒu wèi tā dǎ zào yī jù kě yǐ ān shēn de kuǐ lěi ？” lǐ fán kāi mén jiàn shān de wèn dào 。
“我这位朋友因为某些意外失去了身躯，可否为他打造一具可以安身的傀儡？”李凡开门见山的问道。
The process was quite novel. Instead of using tangible flames, he used golden source energy from the void to create a ghostly image.
yǐ rú jīn liǔ rú chén de shén hún qiáng dù ， lián miǎn qiǎng wéi chí shēn xíng dōu nán 。
以如今柳如尘的神魂强度，连勉强维持身形都难。
