“ hái yòng dé zhe nǐ tí xǐng ？ nà jǐ gè xiǎo jiā huo yī huí lái jiù bèi wǒ guān qǐ lái le 。 zhǐ bù guò xiàn zài hái méi shěn chū gè jié guǒ chū lái 。” zhōu dàn dàn dì shuō dào 。
“还用得着你提醒？那几个小家伙一回来就被我关起来了。只不过现在还没审出个结果出来。”周淡淡地说道。
"Is it necessary for you to remind me? Those little fellows were locked up the moment they returned. It's just that no results have been obtained yet," Zhou said indifferently.
lǐ fán chū le chuán fǎ zhě zhōu de xiǎo shì jiè ， què shì zài tiān quán zhōu biān jìng chù xiàn shēn 。
李凡出了传法者周的小世界，却是在天权州边境处现身。
Having exited Zhou's small world, Li Fan appeared at the border of Tianquan State.
cháo zhe bù yuǎn chù yōu yù de fāng xiàng kàn le yǎn ， lǐ fán zuì zhōng hái shì huǎn huǎn shōu huí mù guāng 。
朝着不远处幽狱的方向看了眼，李凡最终还是缓缓收回目光。
He glanced towards the direction of the Dark Prison but eventuallyretrieve or reclaim his gaze.
“ zǒng yǒu jī huì xià qù kàn kàn de 。 xiàn zài bù jí 。”
“总有机会下去看看的。现在不急。”
"There will be a chance to go down and take a look later. I'm not in a rush now."
ér hòu cháo zhe líng mù jiè jí chí ér qù 。
而后朝着灵木界疾驰而去。
Then he sped off towards the Spirit Wood Realm.
“ xiǎo shī dì ， méi yǒu rén gēn zōng ba ？”
“小师弟，没有人跟踪吧？”
"Junior Apprentice Brother, are you being followed?"
fēi dùn le yī duàn shí jiān ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng hū de kāi kǒu wèn dào 。
飞遁了一段时间，李凡心中忽的开口问道。
After flying for some time, Li Fan suddenly spoke aloud.
shēn shàng chà nà fú xiàn chū yī céng tòu míng de kuī jiǎ ， léng jiǎo fēn míng 、 jiāng lǐ fán qū tǐ zhěng gè bāo guǒ zài nèi 。
身上刹那浮现出一层透明的盔甲，棱角分明、将李凡躯体整个包裹在内。
A layer of transparent armor instantly appeared on his body, clearly defined and enveloping him entirely.
tiān yáng de shēng yīn zì kuī jiǎ shàng chuán lái ：“ shī xiōng fàng xīn ， liǎng dào zhuī zōng de shén niàn yǐ jīng bèi wǒ qiē duàn le 。 bìng qiě wǒ huán gěi le tā men yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de jǐng gào 。”
天阳的声音自盔甲上传来：“师兄放心，两道追踪的神念已经被我切断了。并且我还给了他们一个小小的警告。”
Tianyang's voice came from within the armor: "Brother Senior rest assured. The two tracking divine thoughts have been severed by me. I also gave them a small warning."
gēn wǔ nián qián xiāng bǐ ， tiān yáng xiàn zài de shēng yīn líng dòng xǔ duō 。
跟五年前相比，天阳现在的声音灵动许多。
Compared to five years ago, Tianyang's voice now sounded much more lively.
shēn huà kuǐ lěi de hòu yí zhèng bèi wán quán qū chú ， biàn dé gēn zhèng cháng xiū shì wú yì 。
身化傀儡的后遗症被完全祛除，变得跟正常修士无异。
The lingering effects of his transformation into a puppet had completely disappeared, making him indistinguishable from an ordinary cultivator.
ér zhè yī qiè ， jiù shì zhè zūn xiān jí 【 zhàn guī 】 suǒ dài lái de gǎi biàn 。
而这一切，就是这尊仙级【战傀】所带来的改变。
All these changes were brought about by this Immortal-level [War Puppet].
zhè zūn zhàn guī ， huò zhě shuō zhàn jiǎ ， yě zhèng shì lǐ fán zhè cì gǎn dān dāo rù huì 、 zhí miàn liǎng wèi chuán fǎ zhě de dǐ qì suǒ zài 。
这尊战傀，或者说战甲，也正是李凡这次敢单刀入会、直面两位传法者的底气所在。
This war puppet, or armor, was precisely what gave Li Fan the confidence to single-handedly enter the meeting and face two Transmitter Practitioners directly.
bèi mò rú bīn bǎi le yī dào hòu ， lǐ fán shēn shòu cì jī 。
被墨儒斌摆了一道后，李凡深受刺激。
After being tricked by Mo Rujin, Li Fan was deeply affected.
yú shì bǎ zhè yā lì chuán dào le líng mù jiè gè rén shēn shàng 。
于是把这压力传到了灵木界各人身上。
He then passed on his stress to everyone in the Spirit Wood Realm. Not only did Craftsman Sage perform exceptionally well, completing the creation of an Immortal-level puppet within five years, but Medicine King Sect also produced impressive results, leaving Li Fan quite satisfied. However, this part would be skipped for now.
bù jǐn qiǎo gōng jū shì chāo cháng fā huī ， zhǐ yòng le wǔ nián shí jiān jiù wán chéng le xiān jí kuǐ lěi de dǎ zào 。 jiù lián yào wáng zōng yě shì chéng guǒ pín chū ， ràng lǐ fán hěn shì mǎn yì 。 bù guò cǐ chù zàn qiě xiān lüè guò bù tí 。
不仅巧工居士超常发挥，只用了五年时间就完成了仙级傀儡的打造。就连药王宗也是成果频出，让李凡很是满意。不过此处暂且先略过不提。
After undergoing a complete transformation, Tianyang's strength had changed dramatically.
chè dǐ tuì biàn zhī hòu de tiān yáng ， shí lì dé dào le tiān fān dì fù de biàn huà 。
彻底蜕变之后的天阳，实力得到了天翻地覆的变化。
Even if Li Fan used all his might, he couldn't even penetrate Tianyang's defenses.
lǐ fán nǎ pà yòng jìn quán lì ， dōu wú fǎ shèn zhì pò qí fáng yù 。
李凡哪怕用尽全力，都无法甚至破其防御。
His techniques, such as Drawn Thread to Cut Life and the Five Elements Annihilation Sword, could not budge Tianyang in the slightest. Even divine consciousness attacks failed to create any ripples.
tā de shén tōng ， zhū rú chōu sī xuē mìng 、 wǔ xíng jì miè jiàn děng děng ， gēn běn wú fǎ hàn dòng tiān yáng fēn háo 。
他的神通，诸如抽丝削命、五行寂灭剑等等，根本无法撼动天阳分毫。
Only the Fake Decisive Technique posed a trouble for Tianyang.
jiù lián shén shí gōng jī ， yě shì ní niú rù hǎi 、 jī bù qǐ bàn diǎn shuǐ huā 。
就连神识攻击，也是泥牛入海、激不起半点水花。
But that was all.
wéi yǒu fǎng zào de luàn zì jué ， néng gěi tiān yáng dài lái de má fán 。
唯有仿造的乱字诀，能给天阳带来的麻烦。
With Source Power Essence at its core, driving his strength beyond ordinary means, Tianyang's current power was undoubtedly no weaker than Xuanhuang Realm's New Life Techniques.
dàn yě jǐn xiàn yú cǐ le 。
但也仅限于此了。
Perhaps his offensive methods were lacking, but with this Immortal-level puppet protecting him, even two Transmitter Practitioners meant nothing to Li Fan.
yǐ yuán lì jīng cuì zhè chāo tuō fán sú de lì liàng zuò wéi nèi hé qū dòng ， tiān yáng rú jīn de shí lì ， jué duì bù ruò yú xuán huáng jiè xīn fǎ cháng shēng le 。
以源力精粹这超脱凡俗的力量作为内核驱动，天阳如今的实力，绝对不弱于玄黄界新法长生了。
If it weren't for the unexpected discovery that Mo Rujin secretly controlled the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Li Fan would have directly subdued and incorporated these two Transmitter Practitioners.
huò xǔ gōng jī shǒu duàn yǒu suǒ qiàn quē ， dàn tā zhè fù xiān jí kuǐ lěi de shēn qū zài zhè lǐ 。 jiù suàn bù dí ， yě zhǐ néng bèi zhèn yā 、 wú fǎ bèi huǐ huài 。
或许攻击手段有所欠缺，但他这副仙级傀儡的身躯在这里。就算不敌，也只能被镇压、无法被毁坏。
Tianyang's protection was comprehensive. Not only did it protect his physical body but also required the destruction of Tianyang's divine consciousness to harm Li Fan.
ér yǒu kān bǐ cháng shēng de tiān yáng kuǐ lěi huà zuò kuī jiǎ shǒu hù ， qū qū liǎng wèi chuán fǎ zhě ， lǐ fán yòu nǎ lǐ huì fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。
而有堪比长生的天阳傀儡化作盔甲守护，区区两位传法者，李凡又哪里会放在眼里。
How formidable was Tianyang's will?
rú guǒ bú shì yì wài dé dào le mò rú bīn jū rán àn zhōng zhǎng kòng le zhěng gè wàn xiān méng de xiāo xī ， lǐ fán shèn zhì yuán běn jiù dǎ suàn zhí jiē bǎ zhè liǎng wèi chuán fǎ zhě gěi ná xià shōu fú le 。
如果不是意外得到了墨儒斌居然暗中掌控了整个万仙盟的消息，李凡甚至原本就打算直接把这两位传法者给拿下收服了。
In the Foundation Establishment period, he could preserve his essence for thousands of years and transform into eternal remnants. Now, as an Immortal puppet, his will had further refined, leaving Li Fan in awe.
tiān yáng dài lái de fáng hù ， shì quán fāng wèi de 。 bù jǐn jǐn shì ròu shēn fāng miàn ， jiù lián shén hún gōng jī 、 yě dōu xū yào xiān wǎ jiě tiān yáng de shén hún yì zhì 、 cái néng shāng dào lǐ fán 。
天阳带来的防护，是全方位的。不仅仅是肉身方面，就连神魂攻击、也都需要先瓦解天阳的神魂意志、才能伤到李凡。
In short, under Tianyang's armor, Li Fan felt unprecedented security.
tiān yáng de yì zhì hé qí qiáng dà ？
天阳的意志何其强大？
Even facing Mo Rujin now was filled with confidence and fearlessness.
zhù jī shí qī jiù néng shù qiān zài jié jīng bù miè ， huà zuò yǒng héng yí niàn 。 rú jīn chéng wéi xiān jiè kuǐ lěi zhī hòu ， gèng shì jìn yí bù shēng huá 。 ràng lǐ fán dōu zì kuì fú rú 。
筑基时期就能数千载结晶不灭，化作永恒遗念。如今成为仙界傀儡之后，更是进一步升华。让李凡都自愧弗如。
Tianyang led Li Fan back to the Spirit Wood Realm.
zǒng zhī ， shēn chù tiān yáng kuī jiǎ zhī xià ， lǐ fán cái gǎn shòu dào qián suǒ wèi yǒu de ān quán gǎn 。
总之，身处天阳盔甲之下，李凡才感受到前所未有的安全感。
After five years, the Spirit Wood Realm had undergone significant changes. The small worlds connected through spatial channels were gradually integrating with it.
nǎ pà jiù suàn cǐ kè zhí miàn mò rú bīn ， yě shì chōng mǎn dǐ qì 、 wú suǒ wèi jù le 。
哪怕就算此刻直面墨儒斌，也是充满底气、无所畏惧了。
Li Fan, impersonating the Way of Heaven, observed the fusion and integration techniques from Xuanhuang's merging with other cultivation realms and gained insights into world devouring and fusing methods.
tiān yáng dài zhe lǐ fán ， hěn kuài huí dào le líng mù jiè zhōng 。
天阳带着李凡，很快回到了灵木界中。
However, given his current strength, achieving such a level as Xuanhuang Realm was still somewhat challenging. He could only rely on array refinement to find another path.
wǔ nián guò qù ， líng mù jiè zài dù dà biàn yàng 。
五年过去，灵木界再度大变样。
From a macro perspective, the Spirit Wood Realm now resembled a monster grafted with numerous small worlds.
lí jiè 、 dì guó 、 shòu zhǒng jiè ， děng yuán xiān tōng guò kōng jiān tōng dào gēn líng mù jiè xiāng lián de xiǎo shì jiè ， yǐ jīng màn màn kāi shǐ gēn líng mù jiè xiāng hù róng hé 。
离界、帝国、兽种界，等原先通过空间通道跟灵木界相连的小世界，已经慢慢开始跟灵木界相互融合。
Aesthetics were never Li Fan's concern; practicality was key.
lǐ fán jiǎ é tiān dào ， guān xuán huáng jiè róng hé pīn jiē qí tā xiū xiān jiè yǒu gǎn ， lǐng wù chū le shì jiè tūn shì róng hé zhī fǎ 。
李凡假讹天道，观玄黄界融合拼接其他修仙界有感，领悟出了世界吞噬融合之法。
Moreover, this was his first attempt at creating such a world. With practice, he believed that the techniques for "fabricating" fused worlds would improve over time.
bù guò yǐ tā mù qián de shí lì ， xiǎng yào zuò dào xuán huáng jiè zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， hái shì yǒu xiē miǎn qiǎng 。
不过以他目前的实力，想要做到玄黄界这种程度，还是有些勉强。
Apart from these changes in the Spirit Wood Realm itself, the Ten Thousand Realms Federation had also been divided into several departments based on their functions.
zhǐ néng tōng guò zhèn liàn de fāng fǎ ， lìng pì xī jìng 。
只能通过阵炼的方法，另辟蹊径。
It was truly well-structured and no longer just an empty shell.
cóng hóng guān de jiǎo dù shàng lái kàn ， rú jīn de líng mù jiè jiù xiàng shì bèi jià jiē le xǔ duō xiǎo shì jiè zài shēn shàng de jī xíng guài wù 。
从宏观的角度上来看，如今的灵木界就像是被嫁接了许多小世界在身上的畸形怪物。
The [Potion Crafting] department, with its foundation laid by former Medicine King Sect members.
bù guò měi guān cóng lái bú shì lǐ fán suǒ zhù zhòng de ， zhǐ yào shí yòng jiù hǎo 。
不过美观从来不是李凡所注重的，只要实用就好。
The [Armament Refining] department, led by Craftsman Sage, Fang Zaiji, and many apprentices.
kuàng qiě zhè shì lǐ fán dì yī cì cháng 。 yī huí shēng èr huí shú ， xiāng xìn yǐ hòu “ niē zào ” róng hé shì jiè de jì shù ， huì yuè lái yuè hǎo 。
况且这是李凡第一次尝。一回生二回熟，相信以后“捏造”融合世界的技术，会越来越好。
The [Exploration] department, dominated by the clone Li Qing and composed of elite assassins from various small worlds.
chú le líng mù jiè běn shēn de biàn huà zhī wài ， wàn jiè lián hé huì àn zhào bù tóng de zhí néng ， yě xì fēn chéng le ruò gān bù tóng de bù mén 。
除了灵木界本身的变化之外，万界联合会按照不同的职能，也细分成了若干不同的部门。
And the [Path Clarification] department, with its core being young cultivators from Shanhe轩 (this term is often used as is in English when referring to a type of traditional Chinese architectural style, but can be translated as pavilion) and other places.
dàng zhēn shì yǒu mú yǒu yàng ， bù zài shì tú yǒu kòng jià zi le 。
当真是有模有样，不再是徒有空架子了。
...
yǐ xī rì yào wáng zōng děng rén wéi bān dǐ de 【 zhì dān 】。
以昔日药王宗等人为班底的【制丹】。
The scale was already established, and the atmosphere was vibrant.
yǐ qiǎo gōng jū shì 、 fāng zài jì ， yǐ jí zhū duō xué tú wéi zhǔ de 【 liàn qì 】。
以巧工居士、方再济，以及诸多学徒为主的【炼器】。
Li Fan did not disturb them and directly headed to a large space adjacent to an underground chamber that he had recently opened.
yǐ fēn shēn lǐ qíng wéi zhǔ dǎo ， gè gè xiǎo shì jiè tiāo xuǎn chū de sǐ shì wèi zhōng jiān lì liàng de 【 xún yōu 】。
以分身李晴为主导，各个小世界挑选出的死士为中坚力量的【寻幽】。
Only he knew about this space, which was protected by seven-color divine light on all sides.
hái yǒu yǐ shān hé xuān děng zhū duō tiān zī zòng héng de nián qīng xiū shì wéi zhǔ de 【 míng dào 】。
还有以山河轩等诸多天资纵横的年轻修士为主的【明道】。
He named this undeveloped department [World Annihilation].
……
……
As its name suggested, the researchers in this department would study various methods for destroying Xuanhuang Realm.
guī mó yǐ chéng ， qì xiàng wàn qiān 。
规模已成，气象万千。
It was quite shocking. Even though the cultivators of the federation were absolutely submissive to Li Fan, he temporarily kept their existence a secret.
lǐ fán méi yǒu jīng dòng tā men ， jìng zhí lái dào le dì xià mì shì zhī páng 、 yí gè hòu lái kāi pì de páng dà kōng jiān 。
李凡没有惊动他们，径直来到了地下密室之旁、一个后来开辟的庞大空间。
"Looks like I need to find those equally extreme individuals."
cǐ chù kōng jiān mù qián zhǐ yǒu tā zì jǐ yī rén zhī xiǎo ， kōng jiān sì zhōu dōu yòng qī cǎi shén guāng zuò le fáng hù 。
此处空间目前只有他自己一人知晓，空间四周都用七彩神光做了防护。
"There's plenty of room in Xuanhuang Realm to look for them."
lǐ fán bǎ zhè ge shàng wèi chéng xíng de bù mén ， mìng míng wèi 【 miè shì 】。
李凡把这个尚未成型的部门，命名为【灭世】。
Li Fan thought as he looked at the object enveloped by a seven-color light ball within the [World Annihilation] space.
zhèng rú tā de míng zì yī yàng ， jiāng lái bù mén zhōng de xiū shì suǒ xū yào yán jiū de ， jiù shì gè zhǒng gè yàng de 、 néng gòu huǐ miè xuán huáng jiè de fāng fǎ 。
正如它的名字一样，将来部门中的修士所需要研究的，就是各种各样的、能够毁灭玄黄界的方法。
Most were gray spots cultivated over the past five years, ready for emergencies. However, there were also some new items.
shí zài yǒu diǎn jīng shì hài sú ， suǒ yǐ jí biàn lián hé huì zhōng xiū shì duì lǐ fán dōu jué duì de chén fú ， lǐ fán yě zàn shí méi yǒu ràng tā men zhī xiǎo zhè ge bù mén de cún zài 。
实在有点惊世骇俗，所以即便联合会中修士对李凡都绝对的臣服，李凡也暂时没有让他们知晓这个部门的存在。
Li Fan reached out and a seemingly faded seven-color light ball flew to his hand.
“ kàn lái zhǐ yǒu zhǎo dào nà xiē tóng yàng jí duān zhī rén cái xíng le 。”
“看来只有找到那些同样极端之人才行了。”
"Faint Heaven Arrow..."
“ xuán huáng jiè zhè me dà ， zhēn yào qù zhǎo ， hái shì yǒu de 。”
“玄黄界这么大，真要去找，还是有的。”
"After understanding the strange power, I finally managed to replicate it."
lǐ fán yī biān xiǎng zhe ， yī biān kàn xiàng 【 miè shì 】 kōng jiān zhōng bèi qī cǎi guāng tuán bāo guǒ zhe de dōng xī 。
李凡一边想着，一边看向【灭世】空间中被七彩光团包裹着的东西。
The Faint Heaven Arrow was a final weapon used by Alliance cultivators in previous cycles to resist the Xuan Network. It utilized strange destructive forces to cause regional damage to the network.
jué dà duō shù dōu shì zhè wǔ nián jiān bèi péi yǎng chū de ， yǐ bèi bù shí zhī xū de huī sè méi bān 。
绝大多数都是这五年间被培养出的，以备不时之需的灰色霉斑。
Currently, without Tianxuan Mirror taking over from the heavens, the Faint Heaven Arrow caused large areas of Xuanhuang Realm's Way of Heaven to go awry and lose control.
bù guò hái yǒu yī xiē xīn de wán yì 。
不过还有一些新的玩意。
The strange power of the Faint Heaven Arrow was not generated by Li Fan himself. He personally collected it from the regions where strange eruptions occurred, wrapping and sealing them with seven-color divine light.
lǐ fán shēn shǒu ， yī tuán sì hū tuì le sè de qī cǎi zhī guāng ， yǒu qì wú lì de fēi dào lǐ fán de shǒu zhōng 。
李凡伸手，一团似乎褪了色的七彩之光，有气无力的飞到李凡的手中。
One less arrow at a time.
“ fèn tiān jiàn ……”
“偾天箭……”
However, given the current frequency of strange eruptions in Xuanhuang Realm, there was no need to worry about running out anytime soon.
“ jiǎ é tiān dào ， néng gòu kàn qīng chǔ guǐ yì de lì liàng zhī hòu ， wǒ zhōng yú néng gòu jiāng qí fù zhì chū lái le 。”
“假讹天道，能够看清楚诡异的力量之后，我终于能够将其复制出来了。”
Apart from the Faint Heaven Arrow, another major weapon in the [World Annihilation] space was the [Randomness] Technique.
fèn tiān jiàn nǎi shì cǐ qián lún huí zhōng ， tiān méng xiū shì men yòng lái fǎn kàng xuán wǎng de jiū jí dào jù 。
偾天箭乃是此前轮回中，天盟修士们用来反抗玄网的究极道具。
Inspired by the 115th Cycle's automatic detonation experience and improved upon by Craftsman Sage, it was engraved within the puppet's body with a certain degree of intelligence. It could be triggered at specified locations and times according to Li Fan's requirements.
jiè zhù guǐ yì de pò huài zhī lì ， duì xuán wǎng zào chéng qū yù xìng de pò huài 。
借助诡异的破坏之力，对玄网造成区域性的破坏。
Moreover, this puppet had built-in interference capabilities that made it extremely difficult for those trying to trace thebehind the scenes mastermind through divine reasoning.
"Is it necessary for you to remind me? Those little fellows were locked up the moment they returned. It's just that no results have been obtained yet," Zhou said indifferently.
...
Having exited Zhou's small world, Li Fan appeared at the border of Tianquan State.
He glanced towards the direction of the Dark Prison but eventuallyretrieve or reclaim his gaze.
"There will be a chance to go down and take a look later. I'm not in a rush now."
Then he sped off towards the Spirit Wood Realm.
"Junior Apprentice Brother, are you being followed?"

Even if Li Fan used all his might, he couldn't even penetrate Tianyang's defenses.
His techniques, such as Drawn Thread to Cut Life and the Five Elements Annihilation Sword, could not budge Tianyang in the slightest. Even divine consciousness attacks failed to create any ripples.
Only the Fake Decisive Technique posed a trouble for Tianyang.
But that was all.
