zǎo zài lǐ fán fàng kāi duì nà zhù jī xiū shì de xiàn zhì zhī qián ， jiāng niàn ér jiù yǐ jīng tí qián cóng xiū xíng zhōng sū xǐng 。
早在李凡放开对那筑基修士的限制之前，江念儿就已经提前从修行中苏醒。
Before Li Fan released any restrictions on the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Jiang Nian'er had already awakened from her cultivation.
jīng shén gāo dù jiè bèi 、 nǎo hǎi zhōng kāi shǐ yī biàn biàn chóng fù bù zhèn de guò chéng 。
精神高度戒备、脑海中开始一遍遍重复布阵的过程。
Her mind was highly alert as she repeatedly went through the process of setting up an array in her head.
rú jīn yǐ jīng chéng wéi liàn qì qī xiū shì de tā shí fēn qīng chǔ ， zài zhù jī jìng jiè de duì shǒu miàn qián ， tā gēn běn zhī chēng bù guò yī zhāo 。
如今已经成为炼气期修士的他十分清楚，在筑基境界的对手面前，他根本支撑不过一招。
Now that he had become a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator, he knew very well that against a Foundation Establishment opponent, he would barely last one move. Either his opponent would kill him with one strike, or...
yào me jiù shì duì fāng yī zhāo jiāng zì jǐ jī shā ， yào me ……
要么就是对方一招将自己击杀，要么……
He would set up the array before they could act!
jiù shì zì jǐ zài duì fāng chū shǒu qián jiāng zhèn fǎ bù xià ！
就是自己在对方出手前将阵法布下！
Facing life and death, Jiang Nian'er pushed her potential to its limits.
shēng sǐ cún wáng miàn qián ， jiāng niàn ér jiāng zì jǐ de qián néng fā huī dào jí zhì 。
生死存亡面前，江念儿将自己的潜能发挥到极致。
Though it was her first time setting up an array, she seemed as if she had done so countless times, completing it in a flash.
suī rán shì dì yī cì bù zhèn ， què yǐ jīng xiàng shì qiān chuí bǎi liàn bān ， shùn xī ér chéng 。
虽然是第一次布阵，却已经像是千锤百炼般，瞬息而成。
Looking at her opponent, who was still lost in the Bamboo Sea Confining Dragon Array, Jiang Nian'er knew that she had already won half of this match. Now, it would come down to who could endure longer.
kàn zhe zài 【 zhú hǎi kùn lóng zhèn 】 lǐ mí máng xún zhǎo chū lù de duì shǒu ， jiāng niàn ér zhī dào zhè cì de bǐ shì zì jǐ yǐ jīng yíng xià yí bàn le 。
看着在【竹海困龙阵】里迷茫寻找出路的对手，江念儿知道这次的比试自己已经赢下一半了。
Jiang Nian'er's eyes flashed with determination as she further tapped into her potential.
jiē xià lái ， jiù kàn zì jǐ gēn duì fāng shuí gèng néng áo le 。
接下来，就看自己跟对方谁更能熬了。
She absorbed the surrounding qi even faster.
jiāng niàn ér yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jué jué ， zài dù yā zhà qǐ le zì jǐ de qián néng 。
江念儿眼中闪过一丝决绝，再度压榨起了自己的潜能。
"Out of over ten thousand people on the island, only I survived! How can I die here!"
xī shōu zhōu wéi tiān dì líng qì de sù dù gèng kuài le jǐ fēn 。
吸收周围天地灵气的速度更快了几分。
"Even if you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you won't defeat me!"
“ dǎo shàng shí duō wàn rén ， jiù wǒ yí gè huó le xià lái ！ wǒ yòu zěn me kě yǐ sǐ zài zhè lǐ ！”
“岛上十多万人，就我一个活了下来！我又怎么可以死在这里！”
A hint of viciousness surged in Jiang Nian'er's heart.
“ jiù suàn nǐ shì zhù jī xiū shì ， yě bié xiǎng yíng guò wǒ ！”
“就算你是筑基修士，也别想赢过我！”
In response, the Bamboo Sea Confining Dragon Array seemed to change. Countless bamboo leaves transformed into green flying daggers, rushing towards the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
jiāng niàn ér de xīn zhōng yī sī lì qì dǒu shēng 。
江念儿的心中一丝戾气陡生。
...
yǔ zhī xiāng yìng de ， zhú hǎi kùn lóng zhèn zhōng tiān dì sè biàn 。 wú shù zhú yè wǎn rú bì lǜ fēi dāo ， hū xiào zhe cháo zhù jī xiū shì xí qù 。
与之相应的，竹海困龙阵中天地色变。无数竹叶宛如碧绿飞刀，呼啸着朝筑基修士袭去。
"It seems he will win this battle without much trouble."
……
……
Every detail of Jiang Nian'er's changes was clearly visible to Li Fan.
“ kàn lái tā yíng xià cǐ zhàn wèn tí bù dà 。”
“看来他赢下此战问题不大。”
While helping her reshape her body, Li Fan also planted numerous spies within her body to observe the strange devouring process in detail. After all, some preparation couldn't hurt.
jiāng niàn ér de měi yī sī biàn huà dōu xiān háo bì xiàn de luò zài lǐ fán yǎn lǐ 。
江念儿的每一丝变化都纤毫毕现的落在李凡眼里。
The fair duel didn't last long. It was just a common Foundation Establishment cultivator who had already exhausted his energy trying to exchange for a Foundation Establishment technique.
bāng zhù jiāng niàn ér zhòng sù shēn qū de tóng shí ， lǐ fán yě zài tā de shēn qū nèi bù mǎn le yǎn xiàn 。
帮助江念儿重塑身躯的同时，李凡也在他的身躯内布满了眼线。
He seemed clueless about arrays and spent most of the day raging within the Confining Dragon Array before being thoroughly defeated.
bì jìng yào xiáng jìn de guān chá guǐ yì tūn shì de guò chéng ， méi tí qián yǒu diǎn zhǔn bèi zěn me xíng 。
毕竟要详尽的观察诡异吞噬的过程，没提前有点准备怎么行。
His breath was faint, indicating he was close to death.
zhè chǎng gōng píng de duì jué bìng méi yǒu chí xù hěn jiǔ 。
这场公平的对决并没有持续很久。
Jiang Nian'er didn't immediately remove the array but instead silently watched her opponent from outside: "This match is mine."
bù guò shì wèi xún cháng zhù jī xiū shì ， kě néng miǎn qiǎng duì huàn chū zhù jī gōng fǎ jiù yǐ jīng hào fèi le tā de quán bù jīng lì 。
不过是位寻常筑基修士，可能勉强兑换出筑基功法就已经耗费了他的全部精力。
"Here comes..." Li Fan's spirit stirred as he saw the once silent dark area suddenly boil with activity through his divine vision.
kě yǐ kàn chū tā duì zhèn fǎ shì yī qiào bù tōng ， zài kùn lóng zhèn zhōng wú néng kuáng nù le dà bàn tiān 、 zuì zhōng hái shì bèi chè dǐ jī bài 。
可以看出他对阵法是一窍不通，在困龙阵中无能狂怒了大半天、最终还是被彻底击败。
It was like a giant shadow creature, enveloping and then completely consuming the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
qì ruò yóu sī ， lí sǐ bù yuǎn le 。
气若游丝，离死不远了。
Jiang Nian'er's original body began to blur.
jiāng niàn ér bìng méi yǒu tuō dà zhí jiē chè qù zhèn fǎ 。
江念儿并没有托大直接撤去阵法。
A strange dark force connected her and the Foundation Establishment cultivator. It felt like two giant hands forcibly merging them together.
ér shì zài zhèn fǎ zhī wài ， mò mò de kàn zhe duì fāng ：“ zhè chǎng bǐ shì ， shì wǒ yíng le 。”
而是在阵法之外，默默的看着对方：“这场比试，是我赢了。”
After a moment...
“ lái le ……” lǐ fán jīng shén yī zhèn 。
“来了……”李凡精神一震。
Jiang Nian'er vanished on the spot.
tiān dì shì jiǎo xià ， tā qīng xī de kàn dào ， suí zhe jiāng niàn ér cǐ huà de shuō chū ， nà yuán běn chén jì de yōu àn qǐng kè jiān fèi téng qǐ lái 。
天地视角下，他清晰的看到，随着江念儿此话的说出，那原本沉寂的幽暗顷刻间沸腾起来。
The previously lifeless Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly flashed with a glint of light, his aura surging a thousandfold.
jiù xiàng péng zhàng de yīn yǐng jù shòu ， jiāng zhù jī xiū shì lǒng zhào 。
就像膨胀的阴影巨兽，将筑基修士笼罩。
He stood there for a while before fully digesting all the memories in the other's mind.
ér hòu wán quán tūn mò 。
而后完全吞没。
"Survival of the fittest. This is the way of heaven and earth. You lost...," he muttered to himself as his gaze hardened.
jiāng niàn ér yuán běn de shēn tǐ ， suí zhī biàn dé yǒu xiē mó hú 。
江念儿原本的身体，随之变得有些模糊。
Li Fan could see that Jiang Nian'er's识海 contained the consciousness of the original Foundation Establishment cultivator, struggling and wailing like a ghost.
guǐ yì de yōu àn lì liàng ， jiāng tā hé zhù jī xiū shì wán quán lián tōng qǐ lái 。
诡异的幽暗力量，将他和筑基修士完全联通起来。
But there were no other means of resistance; it was easily suppressed by Jiang Nian'er.
jiù xiàng shì yī shuāng jù shǒu ， qiáng xíng bǎ tā men róu niē zài yì qǐ 。
就像是一双巨手，强行把他们揉捏在一起。
After familiarizing herself with her new body, Jiang Nian'er slowly stood up, waved to remove the Confining Dragon Array, then bowed before Li Fan.
piàn kè zhī hòu ……
片刻之后……
"How does your Foundation Establishment strength feel?" Li Fan asked with a smile.
jiāng niàn ér yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
江念儿原地消失不见。
"Very strong. But compared to you..." Jiang Nian'er didn't dare look up.
zhèn fǎ zhōng yuán běn yǎn yǎn yī xī de zhù jī xiū shì ， yǎn zhōng hū de shǎn guò yī dào jīng guāng 。
阵法中原本奄奄一息的筑基修士，眼中忽的闪过一道精光。
"Haha, as long as you keep devouring step by step—from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and eventually to Essence Body..."
rú kū mù féng chūn ， shēn shàng de qì xī qiān bǎi bèi de fán shèng qǐ lái 。
如枯木逢春，身上的气息千百倍的繁盛起来。
"Aren't you going to surpass me one day?"
tā yuán dì lèng le bàn shǎng ， zhè cái jiāng zhù jī xiū shì nǎo hǎi zhōng de jì yì quán bù xiāo huà diào 。
他原地愣了半晌，这才将筑基修士脑海中的记忆全部消化掉。
Li Fan's words struck Jiang Nian'er like lightning; her body trembled uncontrollably. This was exactly what she had been thinking!
“ ruò ròu qiáng shí ， cǐ nǎi tiān dì zhī dào 。 shuí ràng nǐ bài le ne ……” tā zuǐ lǐ nán nán zì yǔ zhe ， yǎn shén zhú jiàn cóng mí máng biàn dé jiān yì qǐ lái 。
“弱肉强食，此乃天地之道。谁让你败了呢……”他嘴里喃喃自语着，眼神逐渐从迷茫变得坚毅起来。
Without any excuses about being a junior, Jiang Nian'er felt icy cold inside.
lǐ fán zé shì néng kàn dào ， jiāng niàn ér de shí hǎi zhōng ， shǔ yú yuán běn zhù jī xiū shì de yì shí rú tóng yōu hún yì bān 、 bù gān de āi háo zhe 。
李凡则是能看到，江念儿的识海中，属于原本筑基修士的意识如同幽魂一般、不甘的哀嚎着。
She knew that her life hung in the balance with each of Li Fan's thoughts. She kept her forehead to the ground and didn't move.
chú cǐ zhī wài ， què méi yǒu rèn hé qí tā de fǎn kàng de shǒu duàn 。 qīng yì bèi jiāng niàn ér zhèn yā 。
除此之外，却没有任何其他的反抗的手段。轻易被江念儿镇压。
After an indeterminate amount of time, Jiang Nian'er felt her clothes drenched in sweat.
shú xī le xià zì jǐ de xīn shēn qū ， jiāng niàn ér huǎn huǎn qǐ shēn ， huī shǒu jiāng kùn lóng zhèn chè qù 。
熟悉了下自己的新身躯，江念儿缓缓起身，挥手将困龙阵撤去。
Then she heard Li Fan's voice.
ér hòu xú xú bài zài lǐ fán miàn qián 。
而后徐徐拜在李凡面前。
"Get up."
“ zhù jī xiū shì de shí lì ， gǎn jué rú hé ？” lǐ fán miàn dài xiào yì wèn dào 。
“筑基修士的实力，感觉如何？”李凡面带笑意问道。
Relieved, Jiang Nian'er relaxed completely.
“ hěn qiáng 。 dàn gēn qián bèi bǐ qǐ lái ……” jiāng niàn ér bù gǎn tái tóu 。
“很强。但跟前辈比起来……”江念儿不敢抬头。
"The gap between cultivation levels increases as one ascends."
“ hē hē ， nǐ yǒu zhè shēn néng lì ， zhǐ yào yí bù yí bù xiàng qián tūn shì 。 cóng zhù jī dào jīn dān ， zài dào yuán yīng ……”
“呵呵，你有这身能力，只要一步一步向前吞噬。从筑基到金丹，再到元婴……”
"There are countless Foundation Establishment cultivators who can defeat Golden Core ones. But those who can defeat the Everlasting Life realm..."
“ qǐ bù shì chí zǎo yǒu yī tiān huì shèng guò wǒ de 。”
“岂不是迟早有一天会胜过我的。”
"Such a feat has never been seen in history."
lǐ fán cǐ yán yī chū ， jiāng niàn ér shùn jiān rú zāo léi pī ， shēn tǐ kòng zhì bú zhù de wēi wēi chàn dǒu qǐ lái 。
李凡此言一出，江念儿瞬间如遭雷劈，身体控制不住的微微颤抖起来。
"If you want to seek revenge on me, go to the Everlasting Life realm first."
yīn wèi zhè jù huà ， zhèng shì tā gāng gāng nèi xīn shēn chù suǒ xiǎng ！
因为这句话，正是他刚刚内心深处所想！
Jiang Nian'er felt like she had fallen into an ice cave; all her joy from winning the fight vanished.
méi yǒu shuō shén me wǎn bèi bù gǎn de jiǎo biàn de huà ， jiāng niàn ér xīn zhōng yī piàn bīng lěng 。
没有说什么晚辈不敢的狡辩的话，江念儿心中一片冰冷。
"Everlasting Life realm..."
tā zhī dào zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ， jiù zài duì fāng de yí niàn zhī jiān 。 bǎo chí é tóu tiē dì de zī shì ， bù gǎn dòng tán 。
他知道自己的小命，就在对方的一念之间。保持额头贴地的姿势，不敢动弹。
Those three words were as heavy as mountains and seas, suffocating her.
bù zhī guò qù duō jiǔ ， jiāng niàn ér zhǐ gǎn jué zì jǐ quán shēn de yī shān dōu bèi lěng hàn jìn shī 。
不知过去多久，江念儿只感觉自己全身的衣衫都被冷汗浸湿。
After waiting for a while without hearing any more sounds, Jiang Nian'er mustered up the courage to look up.
zhè shí hòu ， fāng cái tīng dào lǐ fán de shēng yīn xiǎng qǐ 。
这时候，方才听到李凡的声音响起。
She found that the mysterious figure had already disappeared. The only person left on Fan Yong Island was herself.
“ qǐ lái ba 。”
“起来吧。”
Exhausted, she sat down on the ground.
jiāng niàn ér zhè cái hún shēn yī sōng ， rú shì zhòng fù 。
江念儿这才浑身一松，如释重负。
All the strange events since the bizarre eruption flooded her mind like a tidal wave before settling down.
“ xiū shì xiū wèi yuè wǎng shàng ， jìng jiè zhī jiān de chā jù jiù yuè dà 。”
“修士修为越往上，境界之间的差距就越大。”
" Wen Nianyu..."
“ shì jiān néng yǐ zhù jī shèng jīn dān zhě ， bù zhī fán jǐ 。 dàn néng yǐ hé dào shèng cháng shēng zhě ……”
“世间能以筑基胜金丹者，不知凡己。但能以合道胜长生者……”
"I will be Wen Nianyu from now on."
“ gèn gǔ wèi yǒu yě 。”
“亘古未有也。”
After checking her belongings, Jiang Nian'er flew towards the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
“ rú guǒ nǐ xiǎng zhǎo wǒ bào chóu ， nà me jiù xiān dào cháng shēng jìng ba 。”
“如果你想找我报仇，那么就先到长生境吧。”
At first, her flight was a bit wobbly, but she soon flew straight and faster.
jiāng niàn ér rú zhuì bīng kū ， gāng gāng jué dòu shèng lì de xǐ yuè qǐng kè jiān chè dǐ xiāo sàn 。
江念儿如坠冰窟，刚刚决斗胜利的喜悦顷刻间彻底消散。
...
“ cháng shēng jìng ……”
“长生境……”
Li Fan's figure slowly appeared.
zhè sān gè dà zì rú shān shì hǎi ， yā de tā chuǎn bù guò qì lái 。
这三个大字如山似海，压的他喘不过气来。
"This kid has good adaptability."
zú zú děng le xiǎo bàn tiān ， yī jiù méi yǒu zài tīng dào duì fāng yǒu shēng yīn chuán lái 。
足足等了小半天，依旧没有再听到对方有声音传来。
"Let him return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for now. See if his strange power will be detected by the official alliance."
jiāng niàn ér zhè cái gǔ qǐ yǒng qì ， tái tóu wàng qù 。
江念儿这才鼓起勇气，抬头望去。
Li Fan had already clearly seen the process of fusion and devouring earlier.
zhǐ jiàn bù zhī hé shí ， nà wèi shén mì rén de shēn yǐng yǐ jīng xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
只见不知何时，那位神秘人的身影已经消失不见了。
Jiang Nian'er was no longer useful to him.
jiāng niàn ér zhēng le zhēng ， huán gù sì zhōu ， fán yōng dǎo shàng zhēn de zhǐ shèng xià le tā yī rén 。
江念儿怔了怔，环顾四周，樊庸岛上真的只剩下了他一人。
However, Li Fan felt a vague sense that this Jiang Nian'er might bring some surprises with her unique methods and actions.
shēn tǐ tuō lì ， jiāng niàn ér yī pì gǔ zuò zài dì shàng 。
身体脱力，江念儿一屁股坐在地上。
"Strange powers are also part of the laws of heaven and earth. They can be utilized."
nǎo hǎi zhōng zì guǐ yì bào fā yǐ lái de zhū duō shì qíng qí qí yǒng xiàn ， rú cháo qǐ cháo luò 。
脑海中自诡异爆发以来的诸多事情齐齐涌现，如潮起潮落。
"There have been cases where they were made into Heaven-Defying Arrows, even affecting the Xuan Network which had taken over the heavens."
zuì zhōng píng xī 。
最终平息。
"If compared to the Xuan Huang World's Heavenly Dao, it would mean chaos in several states with strange phenomena rampant.
“ wén niàn yǔ ……”
“文念宇……”
Li Fan didn't leave the Bamboo Sea region immediately after finding and completing his research target. Instead, he continued traveling between various locations where strange eruptions occurred.
“ cóng jīn wǎng hòu ， wǒ jiù shì wén niàn yǔ 。”
“从今往后，我就是文念宇。”
He occasionally saw Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Astral Hall and Martial Arts Hall cultivators handling things, but most of them were already in a state of silence.
jiāng niàn ér xiān shì jiǎn chá le fān zì jǐ shēn shàng de wù pǐn ， ér hòu cháo zhe wàn xiān dǎo de fāng xiàng fēi dùn ér qù 。
江念儿先是检查了番自己身上的物品，而后朝着万仙岛的方向飞遁而去。
The Bamboo Sea area seemed overwhelmed by such large-scale strange eruptions.
qǐ chū fēi xíng de guǐ jì hái yǒu xiē wāi wāi niǔ niǔ ， dàn hòu lái zé shì yī tiáo zhí xiàn 、 sù dù yě yuè lái yuè kuài 。
起初飞行的轨迹还有些歪歪扭扭，但后来则是一条直线、速度也越来越快。
However, this situation improved with the return of Gong Sun Qixuan.
……
……
Gong Sun Qixuan was the head of the Astral Hall in the Bamboo Sea region. He was frail and had a scholar's appearance, always monitoring the strange phenomena within the Bamboo Sea area.
Before Li Fan released any restrictions on the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Jiang Nian'er had already awakened from her cultivation.
Her mind was highly alert as she repeatedly went through the process of setting up an array in her head.
Now that he had become a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator, he knew very well that against a Foundation Establishment opponent, he would barely last one move. Either his opponent would kill him with one strike, or...

Facing life and death, Jiang Nian'er pushed her potential to its limits.
Though it was her first time setting up an array, she seemed as if she had done so countless times, completing it in a flash.
Looking at her opponent, who was still lost in the Bamboo Sea Confining Dragon Array, Jiang Nian'er knew that she had already won half of this match. Now, it would come down to who could endure longer.
Jiang Nian'er's eyes flashed with determination as she further tapped into her potential.
She absorbed the surrounding qi even faster.
"Out of over ten thousand people on the island, only I survived! How can I die here!"
"Even if you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you won't defeat me!"
A hint of viciousness surged in Jiang Nian'er's heart.
In response, the Bamboo Sea Confining Dragon Array seemed to change. Countless bamboo leaves transformed into green flying daggers, rushing towards the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
...
"It seems he will win this battle without much trouble."
Every detail of Jiang Nian'er's changes was clearly visible to Li Fan.
While helping her reshape her body, Li Fan also planted numerous spies within her body to observe the strange devouring process in detail. After all, some preparation couldn't hurt.
