jí biàn cǐ qián bèi mò rú bīn bǎi le yī dào ， jiàn shí dào le zhè wèi xuán tiān jiào fǎ wáng de lì hài zhī chù 。
即便此前被墨儒斌摆了一道，见识到了这位玄天教法王的厉害之处。
Despite being tricked by Mo Rujun and witnessing the power of this Celestial Heaven Teach Technique King, Li Fan never expected that he could reach such a level in just a few years.
dàn shì lǐ fán zěn me yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， tā jìng rán néng zài duǎn duǎn jǐ nián nèi ， zuò dào rú cǐ dì bù ！
但是李凡怎么也没有想到，他竟然能在短短几年内，做到如此地步！
"If my guess is correct, his cultivation technique must be able to occupy more than one cultivator's body at once," Li Fan thought. "Perhaps even the Transcendental Preacher Chen is also him."
“ rú guǒ cāi cè wèi zhēn ， nà me tā de gōng fǎ ， kěn dìng néng tóng shí zhàn jù bù zhǐ yí gè xiū shì shēn qū 。”
“如果猜测为真，那么他的功法，肯定能同时占据不止一个修士身躯。”
His heart was shaken by this realization. At the same time, doubts arose in his mind: "Since he is a victor..."
“ nà wèi chuán fǎ zhě chén ， huò xǔ yě dōu shì tā 。”
“那位传法者辰，或许也都是他。”
"The朔锋and Xuan Su Shang family's disappearance could be to confuse my vision and disrupt my judgment. But what about that day with the Xuan Jing Mirror? All its functions were shut down directly; this should indicate that its main body has left, right?"
lǐ fán xīn zhōng zhèn dòng 。
李凡心中震动。
With these unresolved questions, Li Fan hurriedly asked the Transcendental Preacher Zhou about the unusual events of the Sky-Transcending Mirror.
tóng shí nǎo hǎi lǐ yòu yǒu yí lǜ dǒu shēng ：“ jì rán tā shì shèng lì zhě ……”
同时脑海里又有疑虑陡生：“既然他是胜利者……”
Her response made him realize something. "The Sky-Transcending Mirror itself is fine. They seem to be using its power for some secret plot."
“ shuò fēng gēn xuán sù shang jiā zú de zhěng tǐ xiāo shī ， hái néng shuō shì wèi le hùn xiáo shì xiàn 、 rǎo luàn wǒ de pàn duàn 。 dàn nà tiān xuán jìng yòu shì zěn me huí shì ？ zhū duō gōng néng zhí jiē guān bì ， zhè yīng gāi shì běn tǐ yǐ jīng lí kāi de biǎo xiàn a ？”
“朔锋跟玄素裳家族的整体消失，还能说是为了混淆视线、扰乱我的判断。但那天玄镜又是怎么回事？诸多功能直接关闭，这应该是本体已经离开的表现啊？”
"Thus, they have taken most of its computational resources. Real-time trading functions were forced to stop as a result."
dài zhe zhè xiē bù jiě ， lǐ fán lián máng xiàng chuán fǎ zhě zhōu xún wèn qǐ le yǒu guān tiān xuán jìng yì cháng zhī shì 。
带着这些不解，李凡连忙向传法者周询问起了有关天玄镜异常之事。
Anger flickered on Transcendental Preacher Zhou's face. "I wondered what important matter was so significant that it warranted breaking the Heavenly Monarch’s teachings about maintaining stability. Now I see that it is the Celestial Heaven Sect's demonic people causing trouble!"
tā gěi chū de dá àn ， ràng lǐ fán dùn jué huǎng rán 。
她给出的答案，让李凡顿觉恍然。
"The Sky-Transcending Mirror itself was a treasure of the Celestial Heaven Sect in the past. Although we have controlled it for years, we never fully subdued it. If it falls back into their hands..." Transcendental Preacher Zhou’s expression grew increasingly grim.
“ tiān xuán jìng běn shēn dǎo shì méi yǒu shén me máo bìng ， zhǐ bù guò tā men sì hū yào jiè yòng tiān xuán jìng de lì liàng ， zài mì mì móu huà zhe shén me shì 。”
“天玄镜本身倒是没有什么毛病，只不过他们似乎要借用天玄镜的力量，在秘密谋划着什么事。”
"I can't let this happen! I must return immediately!"
“ suǒ yǐ jiāng tiān xuán jìng dà bù fèn suàn lì dōu chōu diào le 。 yīn ér xiàng shí shí jiāo yì zhè zhǒng gōng néng jiù bèi pò tíng zhǐ le 。”
“所以将天玄镜大部分算力都抽调了。因而像实时交易这种功能就被迫停止了。”
Transcendental Preacher Zhou stood up abruptly but was stopped by Transcendental Preacher Wei with a cold voice. "Celestial Heaven Sect remnants? Words are meaningless. They now hold the reins, controlling other transmitters with the five victors at their core..."
chuán fǎ zhě zhōu liǎn shàng yǐn yǐn xiǎn chū nù róng ：“ wǒ hái qí guài ， jiū jìng yǒu shén me zhòng yào zhī shì ， jìng rán zhí de tā men wéi bèi tiān zūn yào wéi chí wěn dìng de jiào huì 。 xiàn zài kàn lái ， jū rán shì xuán tiān jiào yāo rén zuò suì ！”
传法者周脸上隐隐显出怒容：“我还奇怪，究竟有什么重要之事，竟然值得他们违背天尊要维持稳定的教诲。现在看来，居然是玄天教妖人作祟！”
"We are the rebels."
“ xuán tiān jìng běn jiù shì xī rì xuán tiān jiào zhèn jiào bǎo wù ， wǒ men wàn xiān méng suī rán zhǎng kòng le tā zhè me duō nián ， què shǐ zhōng méi néng jiāng qí wán quán shōu fú 。 ruò shì chóng xīn luò huí xuán tiān jiào shǒu lǐ ……” chuán fǎ zhě zhōu miàn sè yuè xiǎng yuè shì nán kàn 。
“玄天镜本就是昔日玄天教镇教宝物，我们万仙盟虽然掌控了它这么多年，却始终没能将其完全收服。若是重新落回玄天教手里……”传法者周面色越想越是难看。
"How did so many cultivators come to be in your world? All opposition was thoroughly purged from top to bottom, right?"
“ bù xíng ， wǒ yào mǎ shàng huí qù yī tàng ！”
“不行，我要马上回去一趟！”
"Their control is even stronger than before," Transcendental Preacher Wei calmly analyzed.
chuán fǎ zhě zhōu huò rán qǐ shēn ， zhèng yù lí qù 。 què bèi chuán fǎ zhě wèi lěng shēng jiào zhù 。
传法者周豁然起身，正欲离去。却被传法者卫冷声叫住。
Transcendental Preacher Zhou’s expression slowly returned to calm. "I was hasty."
“ xuán tiān jiào yú niè ？ kǒu shuō wú píng 。 rú jīn shì tā men dà quán zài wò ， yǐ shèng lì zhě wǔ rén wéi hé xīn ， kòng zhì zhù le qí tā chuán fǎ zhě ……”
“玄天教余孽？口说无凭。如今是他们大权在握，以胜利者五人为核心，控制住了其他传法者……”
"I didn’t expect it to be a betrayal; instead, someone took advantage of the chaos..."
“ xiàn zài wǒ men cái shì 【 fǎn zéi 】。”
“现在我们才是【反贼】。”
After some time, Transcendental Preacher Zhou angrily said, "What about Jiang? How could he sit idly by and let this happen? He should have informed the Heavenly Monarch when things got out of control!"
“ nǐ zhè shì jiè zhōng ， zhè me duō de xiū shì zěn me lái de ？ hái bú shì suǒ yǒu fǎn duì lì liàng dōu bèi cóng shàng dào xià qīng xǐ le yī biàn ma ？”
“你这世界中，这么多的修士怎么来的？还不是所有反对力量都被从上到下清洗了一遍吗？”
Transcendental Preacher Wei laughed coldly. "Out of control? That’s only how it looks to us who know the truth."
“ tā men rú jīn de zhǎng kòng lì dù ， kǒng pà bǐ qǐ zhī qián hái yào qiáng 。” chuán fǎ zhě wèi lěng jìng fēn xī dào 。
“他们如今的掌控力度，恐怕比起之前还要强。”传法者卫冷静分析道。
"For most people, our current situation is still good. Jiang..."
chuán fǎ zhě zhōu wén yán ， zhè cái màn màn yǒu xiē huī fù le lěng jìng 。
传法者周闻言，这才慢慢有些恢复了冷静。
"Is a stubborn fool. Unless it's an unsolvable crisis like Xuanhuang's downfall, he won't bother informing the Heavenly Monarch!"
“ shì wǒ yī shí xīn jí le 。”
“是我一时心急了。”
The white-haired Transcendental Preacher’s tone held much dissatisfaction.
“ zhī qián méi xiǎng dào ， gēn běn bú shì chuán fǎ zhě biàn jié 。 ér shì bèi rén chèn xū ér rù ……”
“之前没想到，根本不是传法者变节。而是被人趁虚而入……”
Li Fan also had a serious expression and said, "The Celestial Heaven Sect's demonic people have some tricks beyond my expectations."
bàn shǎng zhī hòu ， chuán fǎ zhě zhōu fèn hèn dào ：“ jiǎng shì zěn me huí shì ？ jìng rán zuò shì zhè zhǒng shì qíng fā shēng 。 yǎn jiàn shī tài shī kòng ， tā yīng gāi zǎo diǎn chuán xùn tiān zūn cái shì ！”
半晌之后，传法者周愤恨道：“蒋是怎么回事？竟然坐视这种事情发生。眼见失态失控，他应该早点传讯天尊才是！”
"I thought he would just take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits in the Immortal Alliance. Now it seems his ambitions are much greater! To evade our pursuit for thousands of years, he must be quite capable."
chuán fǎ zhě wèi zé shì lěng xiào le shēng ：“ shī tài shī kòng ？ zhè zhǐ bù guò shì zài nǐ wǒ zhè xiē zhī xiǎo nèi mù de rén yǎn zhōng bà le 。”
传法者卫则是冷笑了声：“失态失控？这只不过是在你我这些知晓内幕的人眼中罢了。”
"Facing such a formidable enemy, I think we should cooperate."
“ duì yú jué dà duō shù rén ér yán ， wàn xiān méng rú jīn de zhuàng kuàng kě yī jiù shì hǎo de hěn 。 jiǎng nà ge rén ……”
“对于绝大多数人而言，万仙盟如今的状况可依旧是好的很。蒋那个人……”
The two Transcendental Preachers turned their gaze towards Li Fan.
“ sǐ nǎo jīn 。 zhǐ yào bú shì wú fǎ jiě jué de 、 xuán huáng qīng fù de wēi jī ， tā cái bú huì chuán xùn tiān zūn ne ！”
“死脑筋。只要不是无法解决的、玄黄倾覆的危机，他才不会传讯天尊呢！”
"Our organization is called the Interstellar Federation. It's composed of all surviving cultivators from various worlds who serve the Master," Li Fan said firmly.
bái fà chuán fǎ zhě de yǔ qì zhōng duō yǒu bù mǎn 。
白发传法者的语气中多有不满。
"You don't have any objections to our occupying the main world with the Immortal Alliance and Five Elders Association, do you? The population in many small worlds within Xuanhuang is enough for us to report to the Master. But traitors must be eliminated."
lǐ fán zhè shì yě shì miàn sè yán sù ， kāi kǒu dào ：“ xuán tiān jiào yāo rén de shǒu duàn ， yǒu xiē chāo hū wǒ de yù liào le 。”
李凡这是也是面色严肃，开口道：“玄天教妖人的手段，有些超乎我的预料了。”
"Wouldn’t both of you like to see the Heavenly Monarch's legacy fall into the hands of demons?"
“ yuán běn wǒ yǐ wéi ， tā zhǐ shì chèn luàn zài xiān méng zǒng bù zhōng jué qǔ xiē hǎo chù 。 xiàn zài kàn lái ， cǐ liáo suǒ qiú shèn dà ！ néng gòu duǒ guò wǒ men wàn nián zhuī shā ， guǒ rán shì yǒu xiē běn shì de 。”
“原本我以为，他只是趁乱在仙盟总部中攫取些好处。现在看来，此獠所求甚大！能够躲过我们万年追杀，果然是有些本事的。”
The two Transcendental Preachers nodded.
“ miàn duì rú cǐ jí shǒu de dí rén 。 wǒ xiǎng ， wǒ men kě yǐ hé zuò 。”
“面对如此棘手的敌人。我想，我们可以合作。”
"To restore order, our current strength might be insufficient. I wonder how powerful your Interstellar Federation is," asked Transcendental Preacher Wei cautiously.
liǎng wèi chuán fǎ zhě tóng shí cháo lǐ fán tóu lái mù guāng 。
两位传法者同时朝李凡投来目光。
"Our organization consists of elite survivors from various worlds. We have two Longevity Realm warriors and several others who have reached the Dao-Integration realm. I am just an ordinary member," Li Fan said with pride.
“ wǒ men zǔ zhī ， míng wèi 【 wàn jiè lián hé huì 】。 nǎi shì zhè piàn zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng ， suǒ yǒu gòng fèng zhǔ rén de gè gè xiū xiān jiè xìng cún xiū shì jí hé 。”
“我们组织，名为【万界联合会】。乃是这片至暗星海中，所有供奉主人的各个修仙界幸存修士集合。”
The two Transcendental Preachers were visibly shaken, but their eyes showed some disbelief.
“ nǐ men wàn xiān méng gēn wǔ lǎo huì zhàn jù zhǔ shì jiè ， wǒ men qí shí bìng méi yǒu shén me yì jiàn 。 xuán huáng jiè zhū duō xiǎo shì jiè zhōng de zhòng duō rén kǒu ， yě zú gòu wǒ men xiàng zhǔ rén jiāo chāi le 。 dàn shì pàn tú ， què bù kě bù chú 。” lǐ fán yǔ qì shí fēn jiān dìng 。
“你们万仙盟跟五老会占据主世界，我们其实并没有什么意见。玄黄界诸多小世界中的众多人口，也足够我们向主人交差了。但是叛徒，却不可不除。”李凡语气十分坚定。
"Of course, dealing with traitors is not something we can fully mobilize our resources for; it will be handled by my department. But rest assured, at least one Longevity Realm warrior can definitely be summoned," Li Fan said confidently.
“ liǎng wèi yě bù xiǎng kàn dào chuán fǎ tiān zūn de jī yè ， jū rán luò rù yāo rén zhī shǒu ba ？”
“两位也不想看到传法天尊的基业，居然落入妖人之手吧？”
"How many transmitters can you contact?" Li Fan asked, changing the subject before they could respond.
liǎng wèi chuán fǎ zhě hù kàn yī yǎn ， suí jí wēi wēi diǎn tóu 。
两位传法者互看一眼，随即微微点头。
Transcendental Preacher Zhou thought for a moment and replied, "Over the years, four transmitters have left due to various reasons. Apart from us two, the other two are unknown. Finding them will be difficult."
“ xiǎng yào bō luàn fǎn zhèng ， píng jiè wǒ men mù qián de lì liàng ， dí què yǒu xiē bó ruò 。 jiù shì bù zhī ， nǐ men zhè wàn jiè lián hé huì ， shí lì jiū jìng rú hé ？” chuán fǎ zhě wèi shì tàn xìng de wèn dào 。
“想要拨乱反正，凭借我们目前的力量，的确有些薄弱。就是不知，你们这万界联合会，实力究竟如何？”传法者卫试探性的问道。
Li Fan frowned upon hearing this.
lǐ fán miàn lù ào rán zhī sè ：“ wǒ men zǔ zhī zhōng ， quán dōu shì gè gè xiū xiān jiè xìng cún de jīng ruì xiū shì 。 cháng shēng jìng huò zhě shuō jiē jìn cháng shēng jìng de zhàn lì ， biàn yǒu liǎng wèi 。 hé dào gèng shì ruò gān 。 rú wǒ zhè bān ， zài zǔ zhī zhōng yě bù guò shì xún cháng rén wù 。”
李凡面露傲然之色：“我们组织中，全都是各个修仙界幸存的精锐修士。长生境或者说接近长生境的战力，便有两位。合道更是若干。如我这般，在组织中也不过是寻常人物。”
"Moreover, our remaining forces within the Immortal Alliance have been drastically reduced. We are just lying low now..." Transcendental Preacher Zhou said another bad piece of news.
liǎng wèi chuán fǎ zhě xīn shén zhèn dòng ， dàn tóng shí yǎn shén zhōng liú lù chū xiē xǔ de bù xìn 。
两位传法者心神震动，但同时眼神中流露出些许的不信。
"The Transcendental Preachers' Council is in such a state; the Mirror Keepers’ lineage is even worse. Led by the Mirror Keeper Cang, most of them have sided with Celestial Heaven Sect remnants..."
“ dāng rán ， chéng chǔ pàn tú yī shì ， zǔ zhī bù kě néng diào yòng quán bù lì liàng 。 zhǐ huì yóu wǒ suǒ zài de bù mén fù zé 。 bù guò nǐ men jǐn guǎn fàng xīn ， zuì qǐ mǎ qǐng dòng yī wèi cháng shēng jìng ， shì jué duì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。” lǐ fán xìn shì dàn dàn dào 。
“当然，惩处叛徒一事，组织不可能调用全部力量。只会由我所在的部门负责。不过你们尽管放心，最起码请动一位长生境，是绝对没有问题的。”李凡信誓旦旦道。
Transcendental Preacher Zhou fell silent after speaking.
“ nǐ men zhè biān néng gòu lián xì shàng de chuán fǎ zhě yǒu jǐ wèi ？” bù děng èr rén huí yìng ， lǐ fán jiù zhuǎn yí huà tí wèn dào 。
“你们这边能够联系上的传法者有几位？”不等二人回应，李凡就转移话题问道。
The white-haired Wei offered an opinion: "But we are not without hope."
chuán fǎ zhě zhōu zài sī cǔn piàn kè zhī hòu ， dá fù dào ：“ zhè xiē nián ， yīn wèi gè zhǒng yuán yīn lí kāi chuán fǎ zhě yì huì de chuán fǎ zhě ， gòng yǒu sì wèi 。 chú le wǒ men èr rén zhī wài ， qí yú liǎng rén quán dōu bù zhī suǒ zōng 。 xiǎng yào zhǎo dào tā men ， kǒng pà hái yào fèi xiē gōng fu 。”
传法者周在思忖片刻之后，答复道：“这些年，因为各种原因离开传法者议会的传法者，共有四位。除了我们二人之外，其余两人全都不知所踪。想要找到他们，恐怕还要费些功夫。”
"There are two methods to turn things around. One is to try and establish contact with the True Transcendent Sage faction. As one of the Heavenly Monarch's last reserves, they might be able to make a decisive move."
lǐ fán wén yán ， dùn shí zhòu qǐ le méi tóu 。
李凡闻言，顿时皱起了眉头。
"However, all True Transcendental Sages are hidden in the Museum of Wonders. The entrance to the Immortal Alliance headquarters must be strictly sealed; finding them will be difficult."
“ ér qiě jīng guò jǐ lún qīng xǐ ， wǒ men zài xiān méng nèi cán cún de lì liàng ， yě bèi xuē jiǎn dào jí zhì 。 rú jīn zhǐ shì àn zhōng zhé fú zhe ……” chuán fǎ zhě zhōu zài dù shuō chū le gè bù hǎo de xiāo xī 。
“而且经过几轮清洗，我们在仙盟内残存的力量，也被削减到极致。如今只是暗中蛰伏着……”传法者周再度说出了个不好的消息。
Transcendental Preacher Zhou nodded. "Since two years ago, no one has been able to freely enter or exit the Immortal Alliance headquarters without strict scrutiny and a dedicated escort."
“ wǒ men chuán fǎ zhě yì huì biàn chéng zhè fù mú yàng ， zhǎng jìng rén yī mài jiù gèng shì bù jì le 。 yǐ zhǎng jìng rén cāng wéi shǒu ， jī hū quán dōu dǎo xiàng le xuán tiān jiào yú niè nà biān ……”
“我们传法者议会变成这副模样，掌镜人一脉就更是不济了。以掌镜人苍为首，几乎全都导向了玄天教余孽那边……”
"Another method is to find Jiang directly," Transcendental Preacher Wei said slowly.
chuán fǎ zhě zhōu huà shuō wán ， biàn xiàn rù le chén mò zhī zhōng 。
传法者周话说完，便陷入了沉默之中。
"While Jiang stays in his own world most of the time, he will intervene only when it concerns the safety of the Immortal Alliance. But..."
bái fà wèi zé shì gěi chū le yì jiàn ：“ bù guò wǒ men yě bú shì wán quán méi yǒu shèng suàn 。”
白发卫则是给出了意见：“不过我们也不是完全没有胜算。”
The white-haired elder’s eyes lit up with a smile: "If Xuanhuang faces any apocalyptic crisis, he will definitely step in."
“ mù qián kàn lái ， yǒu liǎng gè bàn fǎ kě yǐ niǔ zhuǎn bài jú 。 qí yī ， xiǎng fāng shè fǎ gēn 【 huàn zhēn xián zhě 】 yī pài chǎn shēng jiē chù 。 tā men zuò wéi tiān zūn xī rì liú xià de hòu shǒu zhī yī ， huò xǔ kě yǐ qǔ dé yī chuí dìng yīn de xiào guǒ 。”
“目前看来，有两个办法可以扭转败局。其一，想方设法跟【幻真贤者】一派产生接触。他们作为天尊昔日留下的后手之一，或许可以取得一锤定音的效果。”
"Ensuring the stability and security of Xuanhuang is his mission given by the Heavenly Monarch before departure."
“ bù guò huàn zhēn xián zhě ， quán dōu cáng shēn yú bó wù shén cáng guǎn zhī zhōng 。 rú jīn xiǎng bì jìn chū xiān méng zǒng bù de tōng dào yǐ jīng bèi yán gé fēng suǒ ， xiǎng yào zhǎo shàng tā men ， kǒng pà yǒu xiē nán dù 。”
“不过幻真贤者，全都藏身于博物神藏馆之中。如今想必进出仙盟总部的通道已经被严格封锁，想要找上他们，恐怕有些难度。”
