yòu hào fèi le xiǎo bàn gè yuè de shí jiān ， què bǎo jiě lí dié pò jìn fāng àn méi yǒu shén me dà de wèn tí zhī hòu 。
又耗费了小半个月的时间，确保解离碟破禁方案没有什么大的问题之后。
After another few days, Li Fan ensured that there were no major issues with the disconnection disc's plan to break through restrictions. Without further delay, he contacted Mo Roubin and the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's avatar, informing them of the situation.
lǐ fán yě méi yǒu dān gē ， zhí jiē lián xì shàng le mò rú bīn gēn tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn ， jiāng qíng kuàng gào zhī 。
李凡也没有耽搁，直接联系上了墨儒斌跟天玄镜分身，将情况告知。
Mo Roubin spent a long time examining the intricate array recorded in the jade slip.
mò rú bīn jiāng yù jiǎn zhōng jì zǎi de fán zá wú bǐ de fǎ zhèn kàn le xǔ jiǔ 。
墨儒斌将玉简中记载的繁杂无比的法阵看了许久。
Afterwards, he pinched his temples and frowned, saying, "I can't make sense of it. You should ask the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's avatar again."
jié shù zhī hòu niē le niē tài yáng xué ， zhòu méi dào ：“ wǒ kàn bù chū shén me míng táng 。 nǐ zuì hǎo zài qù wèn yī wèn tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn 。”
结束之后捏了捏太阳穴，皱眉道：“我看不出什么名堂。你最好再去问一问天玄镜分身。”
"Once we confirm something, changing it later will be difficult."
“ bì jìng yí dàn què dìng hòu ， xiǎng yào zài gēng gǎi jiù nán le 。”
“毕竟一旦确定后，想要再更改就难了。”
The human avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror read through the content in the jade slip carefully. His eyes gradually brightened.
ér tiān xuán jìng rén lèi fēn shēn jiāng yù jiǎn zhōng de nèi róng zǐ xì yuè dú le yī biàn hòu ， yǎn jīng zhú jiàn liàng qǐ 。
而天玄镜人类分身将玉简中的内容仔细阅读了一遍后，眼睛逐渐亮起。
"Brilliant! Unbelievably brilliant!"
“ miào ， miào bù kě yán a 。”
“妙，妙不可言啊。”
"Great ingenuity without pretense; seemingly simple yet complex, directly pointing to the Dao..."
“ dà qiǎo bù gōng ， shì jiǎn shí fán ， zhí zhǐ dà dào ……”
“大巧不工，似简实繁，直指大道……”
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror immersed himself for a long time before suddenly lifting his head and looking at Li Fan. "How did you derive such an array?"
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn chén jìn qí zhōng xǔ jiǔ ， hū de měng tái tóu kàn xiàng lǐ fán ：“ rú cǐ zhèn fǎ ， nǐ shì zěn me tuī yǎn chū lái de ？”
天玄镜分身沉浸其中许久，忽的猛抬头看向李凡：“如此阵法，你是怎么推衍出来的？”
His eyes still held deep doubt.
yǎn shén zhōng hái liú lù zhe shēn shēn de huái yí 。
眼神中还流露着深深的怀疑。
Clearly, the avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror didn't believe that Li Fan had this capability.
hěn xiǎn rán ， tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn shì bù xiāng xìn lǐ fán yǒu zhè ge néng nài de 。
很显然，天玄镜分身是不相信李凡有这个能耐的。
Li Fan smiled and rolled his eyes, recalling his previous guess about the transformation of a divine artifact. He opened his mouth and said, "Me? I couldn’t derive such a complex array."
lǐ fán xiào le xiào ， yǎn zhū zhuǎn dòng 。 xiǎng qǐ zhī qián zì jǐ duì xiān qì huà xíng de cāi cè ， bù yóu zhāng kǒu shuō dào ：“ wǒ ？ zhè me fù zá de zhèn fǎ ， wǒ kě tuī yǎn bù chū lái 。”
李凡笑了笑，眼珠转动。想起之前自己对仙器化形的猜测，不由张口说道：“我？这么复杂的阵法，我可推衍不出来。”
"But everyone has their expertise. Just because we can't do something doesn't mean others can't."
“ bù guò shù yè yǒu zhuān gōng ， nǐ wǒ zuò bú dào de shì qíng 、 bù dài biǎo bié rén zuò bú dào 。”
“不过术业有专攻，你我做不到的事情、不代表别人做不到。”
"Are you really thinking that your Heavenly Xuan Mirror is the strongest in the Xuanhuang Realm?"
“ mò fēi nǐ yǐ wéi nǐ tiān xuán jìng ， jiù shì xuán huáng jiè zuì qiáng le ？”
“莫非你以为你天玄镜，就是玄黄界最强了？”
"Our Xuan Heaven Sect was once a divine treasure..."
“ wǒ men xuán tiān jiào dāng nián kě shì xiān bǎo ……”
“我们玄天教当年可是仙宝……”
Li Fan snorted coldly, cutting off his words.
lǐ fán lěng hēng yī shēng ， huà yǔ jiá rán ér zhǐ 。
李凡冷哼一声，话语戛然而止。
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror stared directly at Li Fan as if trying to see through him. However, he couldn't discern anything from his face.
tiān xuán jìng zhí zhí dǎ liàng zhe lǐ fán ， sì hū yào bǎ tā kàn tòu 。
天玄镜直直打量着李凡，似乎要把他看透。
After a moment of silence, the avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror spoke up proactively, "Alright. Regardless of how you obtained this method for breaking restrictions, according to my judgment, it should be able to break the prohibition on transmitting techniques."
bù guò yí hàn de shì méi néng cóng tā nà zhāng liǎn shàng kàn chū rèn hé dōng xī lái 。
不过遗憾的是没能从他那张脸上看出任何东西来。
"However..." The avatar's tone suddenly changed, "To ensure there are no mistakes, we need to verify it first."
chén mò le piàn kè ， hái shì yóu tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn zhǔ dòng kāi kǒu dào ：“ hǎo ba 。 bù guǎn nǐ shì zěn me huò dé zhè pò jìn zhī fǎ de ， zǒng zhī jù wǒ de pàn duàn ， yīng gāi néng jiāng chuán fǎ de jìn zhì pò chú 。”
沉默了片刻，还是由天玄镜分身主动开口道：“好吧。不管你是怎么获得这破禁之法的，总之据我的判断，应该能将传法的禁制破除。”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes. "Verification? How do we do that?"
“ bù guò ……” tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn hū de huà fēng yī zhuǎn ，“ wèi le què bǎo wàn wú yī shī 、 hái shì yào xiān xíng yàn zhèng yī fān 。”
“不过……”天玄镜分身忽的话锋一转，“为了确保万无一失、还是要先行验证一番。”
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror said slowly, "The prohibitions left by the Technique Sovereign aren't just on me... "
lǐ fán yǎn jīng mī qǐ ：“ yàn zhèng ？ zěn me yàn zhèng ？”
李凡眼睛眯起：“验证？怎么验证？”
"Hmm?"
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn yōu yōu shuō dào ：“ chuán fǎ tiān zūn liú xià de jìn zhì ， kě bù zhǐ quán bù yòng zài wǒ shēn shàng ……”
天玄镜分身悠悠说道：“传法天尊留下的禁制，可不止全部用在我身上……”
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror paced back and forth as if pondering something.
“ ń ？”
“嗯？”
After a long while, he spoke again. "To maintain stability in the Xuanhuang Realm, the Technique Sovereign once cleaned up almost all unstable factors within it."
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn lái huí duó bù ， sì hū shì zài sī kǎo zhe shén me 。
天玄镜分身来回踱步，似乎是在思考着什么。
"I call this Purification of the Xuanhuang."
bàn shǎng zhī hòu ， tā cái xú xú shuō dào ：“ wèi le wéi chí xuán huáng jiè wěn dìng ， chuán fǎ tā céng jīng jiāng xuán huáng jiè zhōng jī hū suǒ yǒu de bù wěn dìng yīn sù jìn xíng le qīng lǐ 。”
半晌之后，他才徐徐说道：“为了维持玄黄界稳定，传法他曾经将玄黄界中几乎所有的不稳定因素进行了清理。”
"Those that could be eliminated were completely eradicated. Those that couldn't... were sealed with prohibitions forever."
“ wǒ chēng zhī wèi dí dàng xuán huáng 。”
“我称之为涤荡玄黄。”
Li Fan's expression also showed interest. "There are actually such things..."
“ néng xiāo miè de ， chè dǐ xiāo miè 。 bù néng xiāo miè de ……”
“能消灭的，彻底消灭。不能消灭的……”
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror said indifferently, "Otherwise, why would the Xuanhuang Realm be so peaceful? Fusing with other realms, yet maintaining peace for most of history... This is an incredible thing."
“ zé shì yòng jìn zhì yǒng yuǎn fēng jìn qǐ lái 。”
“则是用禁制永远封禁起来。”
Li Fan nodded slowly, acknowledging this explanation.
lǐ fán liǎn shàng yě lù chū gǎn xìng qù de shén sè ：“ jū rán hái yǒu zhè zhǒng shì qíng ……”
李凡脸上也露出感兴趣的神色：“居然还有这种事情……”
After all, in the ordinary world of Great Xuan, it was always a cycle of division and unity. Since the great calamity's rebirth, the Xuanhuang Realm had been in constant conflict between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders' Sects.
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn bù yǐ wéi rán dào ：“ yào bù rán wèi shén me xuán huáng jiè huì rú cǐ píng jìng ？ róng hé zhū jiè ， què zài lì shǐ shàng de jué dà duō shù shí jiān dōu néng bǎo chí hé píng ……”
天玄镜分身不以为然道：“要不然为什么玄黄界会如此平静？融合诸界，却在历史上的绝大多数时间都能保持和平……”
Although there were occasional wars, they more often served as means to regulate the overall number of cultivators.
“ zhè běn jiù shì yī jiàn bù kě sī yì de shì qíng 。”
“这本就是一件不可思议的事情。”
Behind this, there must have been covert manipulation by the Technique Sovereign.
lǐ fán huǎn huǎn diǎn tóu ， suàn shì rèn kě le duì fāng de shuō fǎ 。
李凡缓缓点头，算是认可了对方的说法。
"So, where should we test the prohibitions? Won't it alarm the Technique Sovereign?" Li Fan was extremely interested in these sealed unstable factors. He immediately asked, "I'm also considering."
yào zhī dào jiù suàn shì zài fán rén dà xuán ， dōu shì fēn jiǔ bì hé 、 hé jiǔ bì fēn de chǎng miàn 。
要知道就算是在凡人大玄，都是分久必合、合久必分的场面。
"The same," the avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror frowned deeply, seemingly struggling with a difficult decision.
ér xuán huáng jiè zì cóng dà jié xīn shēng hòu ， jiù yì zhí shì wàn xiān méng 、 wǔ lǎo huì duì lì de liǎng jí zhēng fēng 。
而玄黄界自从大劫新生后，就一直是万仙盟、五老会对立的两级争锋。
After much deliberation, he gave his answer: "The sealed items shouldn't pose too great a danger. When sealing them back then, the Technique Sovereign often left some attention behind. Although thousands of years have passed, we can't guarantee that this attention has disappeared."
suī rán ǒu yǒu zhàn zhēng mó cā ， dàn gèng duō de xiàng shì tiáo jié xiū shì zǒng tǐ shù liàng de shǒu duàn 。
虽然偶有战争摩擦，但更多的像是调节修士总体数量的手段。
"Better to choose something sealed by the Technique Sovereign out of anger. It poses no real threat to the Xuanhuang Realm; it was just sealed because it angered the Technique Sovereign—like a mouse casually squashed. After so many years, the Technique Sovereign might have already forgotten about it."
zhè bèi hòu ， kěn dìng shì yǒu chuán fǎ àn zhōng tiáo kòng de yīn sù zài lǐ miàn 。
这背后，肯定是有传法暗中调控的因素在里面。
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's eyes grew brighter as he spoke.
“ suǒ yǐ ， wǒ men yòng nǎ lǐ de jìn zhì zuò shì yàn ？ bú huì jīng dòng chuán fǎ me ？” duì yú tiān xuán suǒ shuō de ， zhè xiē bèi chuán fǎ fēng jìn qǐ lái de bù wěn dìng yīn sù ， lǐ fán kě shí zài tài gǎn xìng qù le 。 tā dāng jí wèn dào 。
“所以，我们用哪里的禁制做试验？不会惊动传法么？”对于天玄所说的，这些被传法封禁起来的不稳定因素，李凡可实在太感兴趣了。他当即问道。
Finally, he looked at Li Fan and asked, "Do you know anything about the [Passing Calamity Sect]?"
“ wǒ yě zài kǎo lǜ 。” tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn méi tóu jǐn suǒ ， sì hū yě shì xiàn rù le jiān nán de jué zé zhī zhōng 。
“我也在考虑。”天玄镜分身眉头紧锁，似乎也是陷入了艰难的抉择之中。
"The Passing Calamity Sect?" Li Fan's heart trembled.
xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， tā gěi chū le dá àn 。
许久之后，他给出了答案。
His expression changed dramatically, showing signs of anger: "Isn't this one of the ten rebel sects back then? Are you asking me to break their seals?"
“ fēng jìn zhī wù ， bù néng yǒu tài dà de wēi hài 。 zhè zhǒng chuán fǎ dāng nián zài fēng jìn de shí hòu ， wǎng wǎng dū huì liú xià yī sī guān zhù 。 suī rán yǐ jīng guò qù le shù qiān nián ， dàn bù néng bǎo zhèng guān zhù jiù cǐ xiāo shī 。”
“封禁之物，不能有太大的危害。这种传法当年在封禁的时候，往往都会留下一丝关注。虽然已经过去了数千年，但不能保证关注就此消失。”
Li Fan waved his hand in rejection. "Impossible! I wouldn’t spare these traitors even if I had to kill them all; do you think I would save them instead?"
“ zuì hǎo shì chuán fǎ dāng nián yí nù zhī xià ， xuǎn zé fēng yìn de 。 duì xuán huáng jiè méi yǒu shí jì de wēi xié ， zhǐ shì yīn wèi chù nù le chuán fǎ ， cái cǎn zāo fēng jìn 。 duì yú chuán fǎ ér yán ， jiù xiàng shì suí shǒu pāi sǐ de lǎo shǔ yì bān 。 zhè me duō nián guò qù ， chuán fǎ kě néng zǎo jiù jiāng qí wàng le 。”
“最好是传法当年一怒之下，选择封印的。对玄黄界没有实际的威胁，只是因为触怒了传法，才惨遭封禁。对于传法而言，就像是随手拍死的老鼠一般。这么多年过去，传法可能早就将其忘了。”
"Hmph, it seems the Technique Sovereign has some merit after all. Sealing away this trash for so long..."
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn yuè shuō ， yǎn jīng yuè liàng 。
天玄镜分身越说，眼睛越亮。
"Technique Sovereign, you did well!"
zuì zhōng kàn xiàng lǐ fán ：“ bù zhī ， nǐ yǒu méi yǒu tīng shuō guò 【 dù è zōng 】?”
最终看向李凡：“不知，你有没有听说过【渡厄宗】?”
The mention of the Passing Calamity Sect seemed to touch Li Fan's sensitive spots, causing his demeanor to become somewhat unstable.
“ dù è zōng ？” lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī zhèn 。
“渡厄宗？”李凡心中一震。
He alternated between cold laughter and intense excitement.
shén sè gèng shì jù biàn ， xiǎn chū yī sī nù qì ：“ zhè bù jiù shì dāng nián nà shí gè pàn jiào zōng mén zhī yī me ？ nǐ gāi bú huì ràng wǒ qù pò chú tā men de fēng yìn ba ？”
神色更是剧变，显出一丝怒气：“这不就是当年那十个叛教宗门之一么？你该不会让我去破除他们的封印吧？”
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror observed Li Fan for a moment before explaining. "Haha, don't worry about that. The members of the Passing Calamity Sect should have been killed by the Technique Sovereign long ago. What I sealed were only some of their setups."
lǐ fán zhí jiē bǎi shǒu jù jué le ：“ bù kě néng ！ zhè zhǒng pàn tú ， wǒ bù bǎ tā men shā guāng jiù suàn le ， hái xiǎng ràng wǒ qù jiù tā men ？”
李凡直接摆手拒绝了：“不可能！这种叛徒，我不把他们杀光就算了，还想让我去救他们？”
"Those things are deeply embedded in the Xuanhuang Realm and difficult to remove. Even the Technique Sovereign couldn’t completely destroy them, so they had to be sealed instead."
“ hēng ， kàn lái chuán fǎ hái shì yǒu kě qǔ zhī chù de 。 bǎ zhè qún lā jī fēng yìn le zhè me jiǔ ……”
“哼，看来传法还是有可取之处的。把这群垃圾封印了这么久……”
"They're mere objects; if you test breaking these seals and succeed without touching anything inside, there won't be any unusual occurrences. This is where I've chosen to conduct this preliminary test after careful consideration."
“ chuán fǎ nǐ zuò de hǎo a ！”
“传法你做的好啊！”
Hearing the avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's words, Li Fan instantly visualized the paper figures scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm that monitored everything.
fǎng fú dù è zōng sān zì chù jí dào lǐ fán de nì lín yì bān ， tā zhěng gè rén de zhuàng tài hū rán biàn dé yǒu xiē bù wěn dìng qǐ lái 。
仿佛渡厄宗三字触及到李凡的逆鳞一般，他整个人的状态忽然变得有些不稳定起来。
"The Passing Calamity Sect..."
shí ér lěng xiào ， shí ér jī fèn 。
时而冷笑，时而激奋。
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind before he calmed down. "So, where is the location of their seal?"
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn guān chá le lǐ fán piàn kè ， zhè cái jiě shì qǐ lái ：“ hē hē ， zhè fāng miàn nǐ dǎo shì bù yòng dān xīn 。 dù è zōng mén rén ， yīng gāi zǎo jiù bèi chuán fǎ shā guāng le 。 chuán fǎ fēng jìn de ， zhǐ shì dù è zōng suǒ liú de yī xiē bù zhì bà le 。”
天玄镜分身观察了李凡片刻，这才解释起来：“呵呵，这方面你倒是不用担心。渡厄宗门人，应该早就被传法杀光了。传法封禁的，只是渡厄宗所留的一些布置罢了。”
"I'll follow your lead and give it a try."
“ nà xiē dōng xī ， yǐ jīng shēn rù xuán huáng 、 zài nán qū chú 。 jiù lián chuán fǎ yě wú fǎ jiāng qí chè dǐ huǐ miè ， yú shì zhǐ néng jiāng qí fēng yìn qǐ lái 。”
“那些东西，已经深入玄黄、再难祛除。就连传法也无法将其彻底毁灭，于是只能将其封印起来。”
"However..."
“ sǐ wù ér yǐ ， nǐ ruò shì qù shì yàn pò jìn 、 chéng gōng zhī hòu zhǐ yào bù qù dòng lǐ miàn de dōng xī ， jiù bú huì yǒu rèn hé yì cháng xiǎn xiàn 。 zhè yǐ jīng shì wǒ shāi xuǎn zhī hòu 、 jué de zuì shì hé yòng lái tí qián shì yàn de dì fāng le 。”
“死物而已，你若是去试验破禁、成功之后只要不去动里面的东西，就不会有任何异常显现。这已经是我筛选之后、觉得最适合用来提前试验的地方了。”
"This journey has some danger; do you have any compensation?" Li Fan's gaze was intense.
tīng dào tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn de yán lùn ， lǐ fán yǎn qián shùn jiān fú xiàn chū zài xuán huáng jiè zhōng mì mì má má cún zài 、 yòng lái jiān shì yī qiè de zhǐ rén 。
听到天玄镜分身的言论，李凡眼前瞬间浮现出在玄黄界中密密麻麻存在、用来监视一切的纸人。
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror seemed somewhat helpless. "I haven't fully recovered yet. Let me know when you return successfully."
“ dù è zōng ……”
“渡厄宗……”
"As for the location of the Passing Calamity Sect's seal..."
nǎo hǎi zhōng chà nà jiān shǎn guò wú shù niàn tou ， zuì zhōng shén sè zhú jiàn píng wěn xià lái ：“ jì rú cǐ ， dù è zōng fēng jìn dì diǎn zài nǎ lǐ ？”
脑海中刹那间闪过无数念头，最终神色逐渐平稳下来：“既如此，渡厄宗封禁地点在哪里？”
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's face turned serious again.
“ wǒ biàn tīng nǐ de ， qù shì yī shì ba 。”
“我便听你的，去试一试吧。”
He broke off another finger and handed it over.
“ bù guò ……”
“不过……”
"Is there a need to go through such trouble? Just say it directly..." Li Fan was puzzled until he examined the content in his hand, stopping mid-sentence.
“ cǐ xíng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn wēi xiǎn ， nǐ yǒu méi yǒu yǒu shén me bǔ cháng ？” lǐ fán mù guāng zhuó zhuó 。
“此行颇有几分危险，你有没有有什么补偿？”李凡目光灼灼。
"Concealing an atom within Mount Sumeru... The Technique Sovereign actually has such abilities?" Li Fan's expression was surprised.
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn dùn shí yǒu xiē wú nài ：“ wǒ zàn qiě hái méi yǒu huī fù guò lái 。 děng nǐ chéng gōng fǎn huí zài shuō ba 。”
天玄镜分身顿时有些无奈：“我暂且还没有恢复过来。等你成功返回再说吧。”
The avatar of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror warned, "Follow the size and position exactly; otherwise, you won't find the Passing Calamity Sect or might get lost in nothingness."
“ zhì yú dù è zōng fēng jìn suǒ zài dì zhǐ ……”
“至于渡厄宗封禁所在地址……”
Li Fan memorized the content in his hand and then crushed it.
tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn miàn sè zhuǎn ér biàn dé yǒu xiē yán sù qǐ lái 。
天玄镜分身面色转而变得有些严肃起来。
According to the record, the Passing Calamity Sect was shrunk by a factor of ten thousand and permanently hidden within the Xuanhuang Realm's void.
zài dù bāi xià yī jié shǒu zhǐ ， dì le guò lái 。
再度掰下一节手指，递了过来。
(End of Chapter)
After another few days, Li Fan ensured that there were no major issues with the disconnection disc's plan to break through restrictions. Without further delay, he contacted Mo Roubin and the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's avatar, informing them of the situation.
Mo Roubin spent a long time examining the intricate array recorded in the jade slip.
Afterwards, he pinched his temples and frowned, saying, "I can't make sense of it. You should ask the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's avatar again."
"Once we confirm something, changing it later will be difficult."
