zhēn xiān ， duì yú xiū shì de xī yǐn lì shí zài shì tài guò zhì mìng le yì diǎn 。
真仙，对于修士的吸引力实在是太过致命了一点。
True Immortals were far too alluring to resist for cultivators.
zì cóng xiān lù duàn jué zhī hòu ， chéng xiān jiù chéng wéi le xiū shì men bù kě wàng bù kě jí shì qíng 。
自从仙路断绝之后，成仙就成为了修士们不可望不可即事情。
Since the path to immortality had been severed, achieving immortality became an unattainable dream for most cultivators.
dàn xiàn zài ， hū rán yǒu yī jù zhēn xiān yí tuì xiàn shì 。
但现在，忽然有一具真仙遗蜕现世。
But now, a True Immortal's corpse suddenly appeared in the world.
ér qiě ， zhǒng zhǒng jì xiàng biǎo míng ， zhè zhēn xiān yí tuì hái hěn yǒu kě néng shì zhēn de ！
而且，种种迹象表明，这真仙遗蜕还很有可能是真的！
All signs pointed to it being genuine!
dào le zhè ge dì bù ， bù guǎn xīn zhōng yǒu jǐ fēn yí lǜ ， xiū shì men zuò chū de xuǎn zé ， dōu shì jué dìng xiān jiāng zhè jù yí tuì nòng dào shǒu zài shuō 。
到了这个地步，不管心中有几分疑虑，修士们做出的选择，都是决定先将这具遗蜕弄到手再说。
No matter how much doubt they harbored, the choice made by cultivators was clear: they would first secure this corpse and then worry about its authenticity later.
jí biàn bú shì zhēn xiān yí tuì ， gēn jù tā suǒ yǐn qǐ de zhǒng zhǒng yì xiàng lái kàn ， suǒ de hǎo chù yě xiǎo bú dào nǎ lǐ qù ！
即便不是真仙遗蜕，根据它所引起的种种异像来看，所得好处也小不到哪里去！
Even if it wasn't a True Immortal's corpse, the benefits from such an anomaly were substantial enough!
yú shì hū ， wàn xiān méng xiū shì fēn fēn lí kāi le suǒ qī xī de tiān chéng ， dào chù sōu xún zhè zhēn xiān yí tuì de hén jì 。
于是乎，万仙盟修士纷纷离开了所栖息的天城，到处搜寻这真仙遗蜕的痕迹。
Thus, members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance scattered from their celestial cities to search for traces of the True Immortal's corpse. Even some Five Elders Association cultivators who had been shopping in the Nine Mountain Free Trade State traveled thousands of miles just to join the fray.
shèn zhì yǒu bù shǎo zài jiǔ shān zhōu gòu wù de wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì ， yě qiān lǐ tiáo tiáo 、 gǎn guò lái yào còu gè rè nào 。
甚至有不少在九山州购物的五老会修士，也千里迢迢、赶过来要凑个热闹。
With the establishment and development of the Nine Mountain Free Trade State, peace between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association had lasted for a long time.
suí zhe jiǔ shān zì yóu mào yì zhōu de jiàn lì yǔ fā zhǎn ， wàn xiān méng gēn wǔ lǎo huì yǐ jīng wéi chí hé píng hěn zhǎng yī duàn shí jiān le 。
随着九山自由贸易州的建立与发展，万仙盟跟五老会已经维持和平很长一段时间了。
Their relationship was further easing; any cultivator could now apply to visit the other side as tourists or for sightseeing. It seemed they were trying to prove their suitability for cultivation by such means.
shuāng fāng de guān xì jìn yí bù huǎn hé ， zhǐ yào tōng guò shēn qǐng ， shuāng fāng xiū shì dōu kě yǐ qù duì miàn jìn xíng lǚ yóu cān guān 。
双方的关系进一步缓和，只要通过申请，双方修士都可以去对面进行旅游参观。
However, no one had switched allegiances yet. Their interactions remained superficial.
sì hū shì dǎ suàn tōng guò zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ ， lái zhèng míng zì jǐ bǐ duì fāng gèng jiā shì hé xiū shì shēng cún 。
似乎是打算通过这种方法，来证明自己比对方更加适合修士生存。
Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance members were wary of Five Elders Association members and banded together to search for the True Immortal's corpse while keeping a safe distance as a precaution.
bù guò què hái méi yǒu tīng shuō ， yǒu shuí néng gòu biàn huàn shì lì guī shǔ de 。
不过却还没有听说，有谁能够变换势力归属的。
"Could this be some scheme from the Five Elders Association? They want to stir up trouble. We've been so focused on business that we're becoming less vigilant against them. Alas, that's not good."
shuāng fāng de jiāo liú ， hái zhǐ shì tíng liú zài zuì qiǎn bó de jiē duàn 。
双方的交流，还只是停留在最浅薄的阶段。
"Indeed, they might strike again at any moment! The Five Elders Association is no good!"
wàn xiān méng xiū shì duì yú zhè xiē wǔ lǎo huì chéng yuán ， yě duō shì xīn huái jǐng tì 。
万仙盟修士对于这些五老会成员，也多是心怀警惕。
"What are you talking about? Did those mysterious heavenly and earthly souls also come from the Five Elders Association? This happened in our territory; we didn't even know these existed. If the Five Elders Association knew so much, we should have surrendered long ago!"
bào tuán xún zhǎo zhēn xiān yí tuì de tóng shí ， jǐn liàng yuǎn lí 、 yǐ zuò fáng bèi 。
抱团寻找真仙遗蜕的同时，尽量远离、以作防备。
...
“ nǐ shuō ， zhè zhēn xiān yí tuì ， huì bú huì shì wǔ lǎo huì nà biān de shǒu duàn 。 gù yì yào bǎ wǒ men jiǎo de jī quǎn bù níng 。 dōu guāng xiǎng zhe zuò shēng yì le ， duì wǔ lǎo huì de jǐng tì yě shì yī nián bù rú yī nián 。 āi ， zhè kě bú shì shén me hǎo shì 。”
“你说，这真仙遗蜕，会不会是五老会那边的手段。故意要把我们搅的鸡犬不宁。都光想着做生意了，对五老会的警惕也是一年不如一年。哎，这可不是什么好事。”
Despite occasional appearances of Five Elders Association members, this did not deter the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's pursuit of the True Immortal's corpse.
“ dí què ， bǎo bù qí nǎ yī tiān tā men jiù huì tū rán zài cì fā nàn ！ wǔ lǎo huì kě bú shì shén me hǎo dōng xī ！”
“的确，保不齐哪一天他们就会突然再次发难！五老会可不是什么好东西！”
With a second lucky cultivator named Xue Mu, their desire grew stronger.
“ nǐ men xiǎng shén me ne ？ nà xiē mò míng chū xiàn de tiān dì zhī pò ， yě dōu shì wǔ lǎo huì nòng de ？ zhè kě shì zài wǒ men wàn xiān méng dì pán shàng 。 wǒ men zì jǐ dōu bù zhī dào zhè xiē tiān dì zhī pò de cún zài ， yào shì wǔ lǎo huì néng zhī xiǎo de rú cǐ qīng chǔ ， nà wǒ men hái shì zǎo diǎn tóu xiáng suàn le ！”
“你们想什么呢？那些莫名出现的天地之魄，也都是五老会弄的？这可是在我们万仙盟地盘上。我们自己都不知道这些天地之魄的存在，要是五老会能知晓的如此清楚，那我们还是早点投降算了！”
Xue Mu was an Array Mage who had only been blocked by the golden light surrounding the corpse and hadn't truly touched it. However, as the golden light entered his body, countless arrays appeared in his mind—data so vast that it nearly burst his spirit sea.
……
……
In a critical moment, Xue Mu instinctively released his grip, causing the True Immortal's corpse to retreat once more.
ǒu ěr chū xiàn de wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì ， bìng méi yǒu yǐng xiǎng wàn xiān méng zhuī zhú zhēn xiān yí tuì de jiǎo bù 。
偶尔出现的五老会修士，并没有影响万仙盟追逐真仙遗蜕的脚步。
Despite missing such a great opportunity, Xue Mu was elated and laughed aloud after a long pause. It turned out he had obtained over one hundred arrays from the corpse, most of which were far superior to those in Xuanhuang World.
suí zhe dì èr gè xìng yùn ér de chū xiàn ， tā men xīn zhōng de kě wàng yuè fā qiáng liè le 。
随着第二个幸运儿的出现，他们心中的渴望越发强烈了。
Even if his strength hadn't increased, for an Array Mage like Xue Mu, this收获 was more valuable than any advancement in cultivation!
dì èr míng yǒu xìng gēn zhēn xiān yí tuì jìn jù lí jiē chù de xiū shì ， míng jiào xuē mù 。
第二名有幸跟真仙遗蜕近距离接触的修士，名叫薛幕。
Soon, Xue Mu was taken by a representative from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Strategy Hall headquarters.
shì yī míng zhù jī zhèn fǎ shī 。
是一名筑基阵法师。
Internal reports later confirmed the advanced nature of the arrays he had obtained.
qí shí tā gēn běn méi yǒu zhēn zhèng chù pèng dào zhēn xiān yí tuì ， zhǐ shì bèi qí zhōu shēn nà huán rào de jīn guāng suǒ zǔ gé 。
其实他根本没有真正触碰到真仙遗蜕，只是被其周身那环绕的金光所阻隔。
Only true immortals could possess such abilities! This undoubtedly solidified the rumor about the True Immortal's corpse.
dàn shì zài jīn guāng rù tǐ de shùn jiān ， xuē mù de nǎo hǎi zhōng ， shùn jiān fú xiàn chū wú shù gè shì gè yàng 、 fěi yí suǒ sī de zhèn fǎ 。
但是在金光入体的瞬间，薛幕的脑海中，瞬间浮现出无数各式各样、匪夷所思的阵法。
News spread, and some in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance finally couldn't sit still anymore.
nà páng dà de shù jù ， jī hū yào zhǎng pò tā de shí hǎi 。
那庞大的数据，几乎要涨破他的识海。
In the Spirit Wood World, Li Fan connected with Transmitter Zhou.
shēng sǐ wēi jī guān tóu ， xuē mù xià yì shí de sōng kāi le shǒu 。 zhēn xiān yí tuì suí zhī zài dù dùn zǒu 。
生死危机关头，薛幕下意识的松开了手。真仙遗蜕随之再度遁走。
"Recently, the matter of the True Immortal's corpse has caused quite a stir. What do you think about it?"
dàn cuò shī tiān dà jī yuán de xuē mù bù jǐn méi yǒu ào nǎo ， fǎn ér zài lèng le xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， miàn sè kuáng xǐ 、 yáng tiān zhǎng xiào 。
但错失天大机缘的薛幕不仅没有懊恼，反而在愣了许久之后，面色狂喜、扬天长笑。
Li Fan replied firmly: "It's all nonsense and pure rumor! Don't believe it, Zhou Daoist!"
hòu lái zhòng rén cái dé zhī ， zài nà kàn shì duǎn zàn de chà nà ， tā zuì shǎo cóng zhēn xiān yí tuì shēn shàng dé dào le shàng bǎi gè zhèn fǎ 。
后来众人才得知，在那看似短暂的刹那，他最少从真仙遗蜕身上得到了上百个阵法。
"Are you so sure?" Zhou Daoist was now suspicious.
ér qiě ， gèng zhòng yào de ， zhè xiē zhèn fǎ de shuǐ píng ， pǔ biàn chāo guò xuán huáng jiè zhèn fǎ jǐ gè céng jí 。
而且，更重要的，这些阵法的水平，普遍超过玄黄界阵法几个层级。
Li Fan sneered: "With the path to immortality severed for so many years, none of our colleagues from other worlds have ever seen a True Immortal's corpse."
kǒng pà jiù suàn shì rú jīn de wàn xiān méng zuì qiáng dà zhèn ， yě yuǎn bù néng gēn tā nǎo hǎi zhōng rèn yì yí gè xiāng bǐ ！
恐怕就算是如今的万仙盟最强大阵，也远不能跟他脑海中任意一个相比！
"In Xuanhuang World..."
suī rán shí lì méi yǒu dé dào tí shēng ， dàn duì yú zhèn fǎ shī xuē mù ér yán ， zhè cì de shōu huò ， yuǎn bǐ shí lì tí shēng jǐ gè dà jìng jiè gèng jiā zhòng yào ！
虽然实力没有得到提升，但对于阵法师薛幕而言，这次的收获，远比实力提升几个大境界更加重要！
"It's the same. How coincidental that it suddenly appeared out of nowhere? And how quickly everyone became aware of its existence! I think there must be someone tampering with things behind the scenes!" Li Fan said confidently.
hěn kuài ， xuē mù jiù bèi wàn xiān méng cè zhèn táng zǒng bù pài lái de rén jiē zǒu 。
很快，薛幕就被万仙盟策阵堂总部派来的人接走。
"But the heavenly and earthly souls accompanying its appearance are real. Even two members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have successfully ascended to the Great Dao because of them. I can't imagine what force in Xuanhuang World could so casually offer so many resources for bait," Zhou Daoist countered, not believing Li Fan.
ér bù jiǔ hòu chuán lái de nèi bù xiāo xī ， zhèng shí le tā shí hǎi zhōng suǒ huò dé zhèn fǎ de xiān jìn xìng 。
而不久后传来的内部消息，证实了他识海中所获得阵法的先进性。
Li Fan seemed stumped by this question.
chú le zhēn zhèng de xiān rén ， hái yǒu shén me cún zài ， néng yǒu zhè bān běn shì ？
除了真正的仙人，还有什么存在，能有这般本事？
After a long silence, he sighed: "The more so, the greater their plot must be! You Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are reaping great benefits, but we're living in fear."
zhè wú yí shì zhēn zhèng zuò shí le zhēn xiān yí tuì de chuán wén 。
这无疑是真正坐实了真仙遗蜕的传闻。
Zhou Daoist suddenly asked: "You didn't do it?"
xiāo xī chuán kāi zhī hòu ， wàn xiān méng zhōng yǒu xiē rén zhōng yú shì zuò bú zhù le 。
消息传开之后，万仙盟中有些人终于是坐不住了。
"Such talk! We've been lying low for years; how could we suddenly start stirring things up?" Li Fan's tone was displeased.
líng mù jiè ， lǐ fán jiē tōng le gēn chuán fǎ zhě zhōu de chuán xùn 。
灵木界，李凡接通了跟传法者周的传讯。
"In my opinion, the enemy might be your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Have you had no mortal enemies ruling Xuanhuang World for thousands of years?"
“ zuì jìn zhēn xiān yí tuì yī shì ， nào dé dòng jìng pǒ dà 。 dào yǒu yòu shì rú hé kàn dài de ？”
“最近真仙遗蜕一事，闹得动静颇大。道友又是如何看待的？”
"Eh?!" Li Fan seemed to have been reminded of something.
lǐ fán hěn kuài gěi le dá fù ， zhǎn dīng jié tiě dào ：“ zǐ xū wū yǒu 、 chún shǔ yáo yán ！ zhōu dào yǒu qiān wàn bié xìn ！”
李凡很快给了答复，斩钉截铁道：“子虚乌有、纯属谣言！周道友千万别信！”
Zhou Daoist looked surprised and quickly ended the transmission after a brief silence.
“ nǐ zhè me què dìng ？” zhè xià zi lún dào chuán fǎ zhě zhōu yǒu xiē hú yí le 。
“你这么确定？”这下子轮到传法者周有些狐疑了。
At that moment, Li Fan's expression changed.
lǐ fán lěng xiào dào ：“ xiān lù duàn jué zhè me duō nián ， wǒ men lái zì zhū jiè de tóng liáo ， méi yǒu yí gè céng jīng jiàn guò zhēn xiān de shī hái 。”
李凡冷笑道：“仙路断绝这么多年，我们来自诸界的同僚，没有一个曾经见过真仙的尸骸。”
No need for words; everything was orchestrated by him. Using the dark power of the Black Puppet, the True Immortal's corpse could move freely across various regions, evading many cultivators' pursuit. With covert manipulation of heavenly decrees, Li Fan made sure this scheme seemed more real.
“ xuán huáng jiè ……”
“玄黄界……”
As for Xue Mu and Zhang Haobo, the beneficiaries of this incident, despite having no direct connection to him in this life, they were familiar faces from his past lives.
“ yě shì rú cǐ 。 zěn me jiù zhè me qiǎo ， tā háo wú zhēng zhào de jiù mào le chū lái le ？ ér qiě hái yī shùn jiān jiù chuán de rén jǐn jiē zhī ， wǒ kàn zhè bèi hòu kěn dìng yǒu rén àn zhōng gǎo guǐ ！” lǐ fán xìn shì dàn dàn dào 。
“也是如此。怎么就这么巧，他毫无征兆的就冒了出来了？而且还一瞬间就传的人尽皆知，我看这背后肯定有人暗中搞鬼！”李凡信誓旦旦道。
Li Fan didn't mind doing a good deed for them.
“ kě bàn suí zhe chū xiàn de tiān dì zhī pò ， dí què huò zhēn jià shí 。 shèn zhì xiān méng zhōng yǐ jīng yǒu liǎng rén yīn cǐ chéng gōng jìn shēng hé dào le 。 wǒ hái zhēn xiǎng bù chū lái ， xuán huáng jiè zhōng yǒu shén me shì lì ， néng gòu zhè me suí yì jiāng zhè me duō hé dào zī yuán ná chū lái ， jiù dàng zuò yòu ěr ？” chuán fǎ zhě zhōu bìng méi yǒu tīng xìn lǐ fán de huà ， ér shì fǎn bó dào 。
“可伴随着出现的天地之魄，的确货真价实。甚至仙盟中已经有两人因此成功晋升合道了。我还真想不出来，玄黄界中有什么势力，能够这么随意将这么多合道资源拿出来，就当做诱饵？”传法者周并没有听信李凡的话，而是反驳道。
However, as he spread false heavenly decrees everywhere, the people of Xuanhuang World's tolerance and vigilance had reached their limit.
lǐ fán fǎng fú yě bèi wèn zhù le 。
李凡仿佛也被问住了。
He would likely have to stop soon.
chén mò le xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， tā tàn le kǒu qì ：“ yuè shì rú cǐ ， jiù yuè shuō míng duì fāng suǒ móu shèn dà a ！ nǐ men wàn xiān méng dǎo shì shōu huò de pén mǎn bō mǎn ， wǒ men kě shì dān jīng shòu pà le 。”
沉默了许久之后，他叹了口气：“越是如此，就越说明对方所谋甚大啊！你们万仙盟倒是收获的盆满钵满，我们可是担惊受怕了。”
"A formation is set; they won't resist joining the game. This chaos should mask my true intentions," Li Fan said with a low chuckle.
chuán fǎ zhōu wén yán hū de wèn dào ：“ zhēn bú shì nǐ men gǎo chū lái de shǒu bǐ ？”
传法周闻言忽的问道：“真不是你们搞出来的手笔？”
"Zhou Daoist's reaction was strange. What did she remember?"
“ zhè shì shén me huà ！ wǒ men wàn jiè lián hé huì zhé fú xǔ duō nián ， qǐ huì tū rán jiān jiù zhè bān xīng fēng zuò làng ？” lǐ fán de yǔ qì yǒu xiē bú yuè 。
“这是什么话！我们万界联合会蛰伏许多年，岂会突然间就这般兴风作浪？”李凡的语气有些不悦。
"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance really has an enemy using multiple Great Dao resources as bait?"
“ yī wǒ kàn ， fǎn dào shuō bù dìng kě néng shì nǐ men wàn xiān méng de dí rén 。 tǒng zhì xuán huáng jiè jǐ qiān nián ， nǐ men jiù méi yǒu guò shén me sǐ duì tou ？”
“依我看，反倒说不定可能是你们万仙盟的敌人。统治玄黄界几千年，你们就没有过什么死对头？”
Li Fan frowned, pondering this.
“ ń ？！” lǐ fán de huà fǎng fú tí xǐng qǐ le shén me 。
“嗯？！”李凡的话仿佛提醒起了什么。
