shuō shì cǎn shèng ， qí shí zài zhè sān cì jiāo fēng zhī zhōng ， líng mù jiè yě méi yǒu sǔn shī shén me 。 bù guò shì xiē xǔ néng yuán jī zǎn bà le 。
说是惨胜，其实在这三次交锋之中，灵木界也没有损失什么。不过是些许能源积攒罢了。
Said to be a narrow victory, but in reality, the Spirit Wood World did not suffer any significant losses during these three clashes. It was merely a matter of accumulating some energy resources.
rú guǒ wàn xiān méng jiù cǐ tuì qù ， yì huò zhě bèi líng mù jiè mù qián suǒ biǎo xiàn chū lái de shí lì zhèn shè 、 zàn huǎn jìn gōng 。 líng mù jiè hěn kuài jiù néng jiāng zhè néng yuán sǔn hào bǔ qí 。
如果万仙盟就此退去，亦或者被灵木界目前所表现出来的实力震慑、暂缓进攻。灵木界很快就能将这能源损耗补齐。
If the Ten Thousand Immortals League were to retreat or be deterred by the current strength displayed by the Spirit Wood World and temporarily halt their offensive, the Spirit Wood World would quickly replenish its lost energy.
bù guò hěn xiǎn rán ， wàn xiān méng shì bù kě néng jiù zhè me jiǎn dān bèi xià tuì de 。
不过很显然，万仙盟是不可能就这么简单被吓退的。
However, it was quite clear that the Ten Thousand Immortals League could not be so easily intimidated into retreating.
yān shòu shī qù gōng jī mù biāo ， máng rán zài yuán dì pái huái le huì 。 suí hòu shì shì xiù dào le kōng jiān tōng dào nà tóu xuán huáng jiè de měi wèi qì xī ， jìng rán diào zhuǎn le mù biāo 。
湮兽失去攻击目标，茫然在原地徘徊了会。随后似是嗅到了空间通道那头玄黄界的美味气息，竟然调转了目标。
With the beast devourers losing their target, they wandered aimlessly for a while. Then, as if sensing the delicious aroma from the other end of the spatial channel, they redirected their attention.
kōng jiān liè xì zài dù bèi chēng dà ， nà gǔ ràng lǐ fán gǎn dào xīn jì de qì xī yě shà shí xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
空间裂隙再度被撑大，那股让李凡感到心悸的气息也霎时消失不见。
The spatial rift expanded once again, and the heart-stirring aura that had previously made Li Fan feel uneasy vanished instantly.
líng mù jiè zhòng rén hái méi lái de jí qìng zhù ， zhěng gè líng mù jiè què háo wú zhēng zhào de kāi shǐ měng liè huàng dòng qǐ lái 。
灵木界众人还没来得及庆祝，整个灵木界却毫无征兆的开始猛烈晃动起来。
Before the Spirit Wood World's populace could celebrate, the entire world began to violently shake without any prior warning.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"What is this..."
zuò wéi líng mù jiè de zhǔ rén ， yōu yù zhōng de lǐ fán dì yī shí jiān chá jué dào le yì yàng 。
作为灵木界的主人，幽狱中的李凡第一时间察觉到了异样。
As the master of the Spirit Wood World, Li Fan in the Dark Prison immediately sensed something amiss.
“ líng mù jiè máo dìng zài xuán huáng dà shì jiè de wèi zhì ， zài fā shēng biàn huà ！”
“灵木界锚定在玄黄大世界的位置，在发生变化！”
"The position of the Spirit Wood World anchored within the Xuanhuang Great World is changing!"
“ zhè shì yào fǔ dǐ chōu xīn 、 bù zhèng miàn duì jué ， ér shì zhí jiē miè shā xiǎo shì jiè ？”
“这是要釜底抽薪、不正面对决，而是直接灭杀小世界？”
"Is this an attempt to undermine from beneath by directly destroying the small world instead of facing us head-on?"
céng jīng ， wàn xiān méng jiāng wèi yú tiān líng zhōu de wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， gěi qiáng xíng qiān yí dào le zhōng yāng fù dì zhōu yù 。 rú jīn líng mù jiè de shí jì guī mó ， qí shí hái méi yǒu wǔ xíng dòng tiān dà 。 jí biàn jīng guò lǐ fán zhèn liàn jiā gù ， xiǎng lái yě wú fǎ zǔ zhǐ wàn xiān méng yòng mán lì qiān yí 。
曾经，万仙盟将位于天灵州的五行大洞天，给强行迁移到了中央腹地州域。如今灵木界的实际规模，其实还没有五行洞天大。即便经过李凡阵炼加固，想来也无法阻止万仙盟用蛮力迁移。
In the past, the Ten Thousand Immortals League had forcibly relocated the Five Elements Grand Cavern in the Heavenly Spirit Region to the central region. Currently, the actual scale of the Spirit Wood World was still smaller than that of the Five Elements Cave. Even with Li Fan's array reinforcement, it seemed unlikely that they could prevent the Ten Thousand Immortals League from using brute force to relocate.
ér qiě ， jí biàn běn zūn yuǎn lí zhàn chǎng ， tōng guò shèng yīng yǐ jí fēn shēn gǎn yìng dào de nà zhèn zhèn de shì jiè chù dòng ， lǐ fán yě yǐ rán kàn chū lái ， wàn xiān méng qiān yí shì jiè suǒ yòng de fāng fǎ jiū jìng shì hé 。
而且，即便本尊远离战场，通过圣婴以及分身感应到的那阵阵的世界触动，李凡也已然看出来，万仙盟迁移世界所用的方法究竟是何。
Moreover, even though his essence disc had nearly reached the level of a divine artifact, Li Fan could not forcefully deduce or push through the workings of this grand array.
“ fú dù xīng kōng dà zhèn ！” lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jīng guāng 。
“浮度星空大阵！”李凡眼中闪过一丝精光。
It seemed there were some unknown factors beyond just the array itself.
duì yú zhè ge yóu xuán tiān wáng chuàng jiàn ， xuán huáng jiè yòng lái bǔ huò qí tā xiū xiān jiè de hóng wěi jù zhèn ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng yǎn chán hěn jiǔ le 。
对于这个由玄天王创建，玄黄界用来捕获其他修仙界的宏伟巨阵，李凡已经眼馋很久了。
When Li Fan asked the Heavenly Mirror about the details of this array, it had repeatedly avoided the topic with irrelevant responses. It used other arrays toevade (shirk) its explanation, causing Li Fan never to see the true form of the array until now.
kě shì jí biàn tā de zhōng mò jiě lí dié yǐ jīng kuài shēng huá dào le xiān qì de céng cì ， què yī rán duì zhè xīng kōng dà zhèn wú néng wéi lì 、 wú fǎ qiáng xíng tuī yǎn 。
可是即便他的终末解离碟已经快升华到了仙器的层次，却依然对这星空大阵无能为力、无法强行推演。
In the Inner Sea of his essence, the essence disc emitted a faint white light and rapidly flickered.
sì hū chú le zhèn fǎ zhī wài ， hái yǒu qí tā mǒu xiē wèi zhī de yīn sù zài lǐ miàn 。
似乎除了阵法之外，还有其他某些未知的因素在里面。
"Observing a part can reveal much. But the essence disc can deduce the full picture from this partial information."
zhī qián lǐ fán xiàng tiān xuán jìng xún wèn guān yú zhè ge zhèn fǎ dǐ xì de shí hòu ， tā què jǐ cì sān fān gù zuǒ yòu ér yán tā 。 yòng qí tā dà zhèn fū yǎn jiāo dài 。
之前李凡向天玄镜询问关于这个阵法底细的时候，它却几次三番顾左右而言他。用其他大阵敷衍交代。
"Indeed, as an opponent to the Ten Thousand Immortals League, I get to see their hidden cards."
dǎo zhì lǐ fán yì zhí méi yǒu jiàn dào cǐ zhèn de zhēn miàn mù 。
导致李凡一直没有见到此阵的真面目。
Li Fan was very satisfied with the results of his probing.
bù xiǎng jīn rì ， jū rán zài líng mù jiè bèi wéi jiǎo de shí hòu yù dào le 。
不想今日，居然在灵木界被围剿的时候遇到了。
As the position of the Spirit Wood World gradually shifted, Li Fan's initial deduction from the essence disc had reached a conclusion.
běn zūn shí hǎi zhōng ， jiě lí dié fā chū xīng fèn de wēi wēi bái guāng 、 kuài sù biàn dòng shǎn shuò 。
本尊识海中，解离碟发出兴奋的微微白光、快速变动闪烁。
"The Heavenly Mirror did not lie; this grand array has indeed suffered severe damage."
“ guǎn zhōng kuī bào 、 kě jiàn yī bān 。 dàn jiě lí dié què kě yóu zhè jú bù ， fǎn tuī dà zhèn quán mào 。”
“管中窥豹、可见一斑。但解离碟却可由这局部，反推大阵全貌。”
"The Ten Thousand Immortals League is currently utilizing the Floating Starlight Array’s ability to span star seas and lock onto worlds."
“ guǒ rán ， zuò wéi wàn xiān méng de duì shǒu ， fǎn ér néng jiàn shí dào tā men de gèng duō dǐ pái 。”
“果然，作为万仙盟的对手，反而能见识到他们的更多底牌。”
"Judging by how quickly the Spirit Wood World is being forced to move, its power is only a fraction of what it was. Yet, absorbing the entire world would be effortless."
lǐ fán duì zhè cì shì tàn de jié guǒ shí fēn mǎn yì 。
李凡对这次试探的结果十分满意。
"No, no..."
jiù zài líng mù jiè máo dìng wèi zhì zhú jiàn fā shēng piān yí de shí hòu ， lǐ fán zhè biān jiě lí dié de chū bù tuī yǎn ， yǐ jīng yǒu liǎo jié guǒ 。
就在灵木界锚定位置逐渐发生偏移的时候，李凡这边解离碟的初步推演，已经有了结果。
"There's still something missing."
“ tiān xuán jìng méi yǒu shuō huǎng ， dà zhèn guǒ rán yǐ jīng yán zhòng shòu sǔn le 。”
“天玄镜没有说谎，大阵果然已经严重受损了。”
For the first time, the essence disc’s deduction had unexpectedly halted.
“ mù qián wàn xiān méng diào yòng de ， zhèng shì fú dù xīng kōng dà zhèn nà héng kuà xīng hǎi 、 suǒ dìng lā jìn shì jiè de néng lì 。”
“目前万仙盟调用的，正是浮度星空大阵那横跨星海、锁定拉进世界的能力。”
No matter how Li Fan calculated, he could not construct an array with similar functions as the ancient Floating Starlight Array using his essence disc's array recognition.
“ cóng líng mù jiè xiàn zài bèi pò yí dòng de sù dù lái kàn ， dà zhèn wēi néng bù rú wán hǎo shí wàn fēn zhī yī yī 。 dàn jiāng zhěng gè líng mù jiè xī qǔ ， yě shì qīng ér yì jǔ 。”
“从灵木界现在被迫移动的速度来看，大阵威能不如完好时万分之一一。但将整个灵木界吸取，也是轻而易举。”
This further confirmed his previous hypothesis. The [Floating Starlight Array] was indeed more than just a simple array.
“ bú duì ， bú duì ……”
“不对，不对……”
"Indeed, it is no wonder that despite having the means to transmit techniques for so many years, they have not successfully restored this array. They still have to painstakingly search through the void for world remnants," Li Fan mused.
“ hái shì quē le diǎn shén me 。”
“还是缺了点什么。”
Although he could not see the full picture of the grand array, the Ten Thousand Immortals League was using a substandard version of it.
zhī qián cóng wèi yǒu guò de qíng kuàng 。 jiě lí dié de tuī yǎn jìng rán zì xíng zhōng duàn le 。
之前从未有过的情况。解离碟的推演竟然自行中断了。
Following Li Fan's instructions, the Spirit Wood World’s populace quickly mobilized in chaos.
yǐ jiě lí dié de zhèn fǎ rèn zhī ， rèn píng rú hé yǎn suàn ， yě wú fǎ gòu jiàn chū gēn shàng gǔ fú dù xīng kōng dà zhèn jù yǒu xiāng tóng gōng néng de zhèn fǎ lái 。
以解离碟的阵法认知，任凭如何演算，也无法构建出跟上古浮度星空大阵具有相同功能的阵法来。
As an array appeared on the ground of the Spirit Wood World, an invisible wave enveloped the small world. The dragged and rapidly moving Spirit Wood World seemed to have suddenly lost contact.
zhè yě zài dù yìn zhèng le lǐ fán zhī qián de cāi xiǎng 。
这也再度印证了李凡之前的猜想。
The shaking gradually subsided until it stopped at an unknown location.
zhè 【 fú dù xīng kōng dà zhèn 】， dí què bù jǐn jǐn shì dān chún de zhèn fǎ 。
这【浮度星空大阵】，的确不仅仅是单纯的阵法。
Li Fan immediately checked the current position of the Spirit Wood World.
“ nán guài yǐ chuán fǎ zhī zī ， zhè me duō nián dōu méi yǒu chéng gōng jiāng zhè zhèn fǎ fù yuán 。 hái yào kǔ xī xī de qīn zì qù xū kōng zhōng sōu guā shì jiè cán hái 。” lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
“难怪以传法之资，这么多年都没有成功将这阵法复原。还要苦兮兮的亲自去虚空中搜刮世界残骸。”李凡若有所思。
It had shifted from the eastern region of the Ten Thousand Immortals League to the southern region, close to the boundary rift vortex.
suī rán bù néng kuī jiàn dà zhèn quán mào ， dàn wàn xiān méng nà biān dòng yòng de yě shì gè cán cì pǐn lì liàng 。
虽然不能窥见大阵全貌，但万仙盟那边动用的也是个残次品力量。
"This is planning on using natural rifts to directly shatter the world. The Ten Thousand Immortals League really has a good plan."
zài lǐ fán de zhǐ shì xià ， huāng luàn zhōng bù zhī suǒ cuò de líng mù jiè zhòng rén hěn kuài jiù xíng dòng qǐ lái 。
在李凡的指示下，慌乱中不知所措的灵木界众人很快就行动起来。
The performance of the Spirit Wood World in dissipating the Floating Starlight power was far beyond what the Ten Thousand Immortals League had anticipated.
suí zhe yí gè zhèn fǎ zài líng mù jiè dà dì shàng xiǎn xíng ， yī gǔ wú xíng de bō dòng suí zhī lǒng zhào zhěng gè xiǎo shì jiè 。 ér bèi tuō zhuāi zháo jí sù qián xíng de líng mù jiè ， yě shùn jiān fǎng fú duàn kāi le lián xì bān 。
随着一个阵法在灵木界大地上显形，一股无形的波动随之笼罩整个小世界。而被拖拽着急速前行的灵木界，也瞬间仿佛断开了联系般。
Internal disagreements seemed to have halted their advance, but Li Fan could sense that more immortal cultivators were emerging from the void around them, surrounding the Spirit Wood World.
huàng dòng màn màn jiǎn qīng ， zuì zhōng zài wèi zhī dì diǎn tíng le xià lái 。
晃动慢慢减轻，最终在未知地点停了下来。
Blade Master Hundred Flowers and Medicine King Sect also noticed the current situation, looking rather displeased.
lǐ fán dì yī shí jiān chá kàn le xià líng mù jiè mù qián suǒ zài de fāng wèi 。
李凡第一时间查看了下灵木界目前所在的方位。
"This is a fight of desperation."
jìng rán cóng wàn xiān méng dōng bù ， yǐ jīng zhuǎn yí dào le nán fāng 。
竟然从万仙盟东部，已经转移到了南方。
"It seems I need to consider this matter more thoroughly. Perhaps when we rebuild the Spirit Wood World base next time, we can add world teleportation capabilities."
jù lí nà liè jiè dà xuán wō ， hè rán shì bù yuǎn le 。
距离那裂界大漩涡，赫然是不远了。
"Before today, achieving this would have been difficult. But with the Ten Thousand Immortals League as an example, heh..." Li Fan thought coldly.
“ zhè shì dǎ suàn jiè zhù tiān rán de liè jiè zhī lì ， zhí jiē bǎ shì jiè gěi fěn suì ？ wàn xiān méng hái zhēn shì dǎ dī yī shǒu hǎo suàn pán 。”
“这是打算借助天然的裂界之力，直接把世界给粉碎？万仙盟还真是打的一手好算盘。”
All the blades inflicted upon him would be returned a thousandfold.
néng gòu jiāng fú dù xīng kōng zhī lì gěi huà jiě diào ， líng mù jiè cǐ cì de biǎo xiàn dàng zhēn shì yuǎn yuǎn chū hū le wàn xiān méng de yù liào zhī wài 。
能够将浮度星空之力给化解掉，灵木界此次的表现当真是远远出乎了万仙盟的预料之外。
"Attendant Envoy, I think we cannot wait any longer," said Liu Ruchen in a grave tone.
nèi bù sì hū fā shēng le fēn qí ， méi yǒu jiē zhe jìn gōng 。
内部似乎发生了分歧，没有接着进攻。
"While the Spirit Wood World's various defensive measures are perfect, they can never withstand the endless consumption by the Ten Thousand Immortals League. Perhaps breaking through and fighting to the death might offer a chance."
dàn shì lǐ fán yǐn yǐn kě yǐ chá jué dào ， zhōu wéi de xū kōng zhōng ， yǐ jīng bù duàn yǒu xiān méng xiū shì yǒng xiàn 、 bǎ líng mù jiè tuán tuán bāo wéi le 。
但是李凡隐隐可以察觉到，周围的虚空中，已经不断有仙盟修士涌现、把灵木界团团包围了。
"Medicine King True Cauldron has been modified over these years; its capacity has expanded several times, allowing us to take most of the people with us," added Fang Zaiji.
ér bǎi huā dào rén 、 yào wáng zōng děng rén yě shì chá jué dào le mù qián de zhuàng kuàng ， liǎn sè biàn dé yǒu xiē nán kàn 。
而百花道人、药王宗等人也是察觉到了目前的状况，脸色变得有些难看。
Liu Ruchen's suggestion was widely accepted by everyone. They all turned their gaze towards Li Fan.
“ cǐ suǒ wèi kùn shòu zhī dòu 。”
“此所谓困兽之斗。”
"To save lives and lose territory, both are preserved; to save territory and lose lives, both are lost."
“ kàn lái zhè yī shì kǎo lǜ de hái shì bù gòu zhōu xiáng 。 děng xià yī cì zài dù dǎ zào líng mù jiè jī dì de shí hòu ， huò xǔ kě yǐ jiā rù zhěng gè xiǎo shì jiè shùn yí de néng lì 。”
“看来这一世考虑的还是不够周详。等下一次再度打造灵木界基地的时候，或许可以加入整个小世界瞬移的能力。”
"Given this, let’s prepare for a transfer." Li Fan agreed with the group's plan.
“ jīn tiān zhī qián ， xiǎng yào zuò dào zhè diǎn hái yǒu xiē kùn nán 。 bù guò yǒu le wàn xiān méng de shì fàn ， hēng hēng ……” lǐ fán xīn zhōng lěng xiào dào 。
“今天之前，想要做到这点还有些困难。不过有了万仙盟的示范，哼哼……”李凡心中冷笑道。
The crowd immediately responded with a resounding command and dispersed.
suǒ yǒu jiā zhū yú lǐ fán shēn shàng de dāo rèn ， dōu bì jiāng qiān bǎi bèi de fǎn huán huí qù 。
所有加诸于李凡身上的刀刃，都必将千百倍的返还回去。
Some were responsible for monitoring the spatial channel entrance to counter any possible attacks by the Ten Thousand Immortals League.
“ shàng shǐ ， wǒ jué de wǒ men bù néng zài zuò yǐ dài bì le 。” zhè shí hòu ， liǔ rú chén chén shēng tí yì dào 。
“上使，我觉得我们不能再坐以待毙了。”这时候，柳如尘沉声提议道。
Another group was tasked with rapidly transferring the resources and population of the Inter-World Federation.
“ suī rán líng mù jiè gè zhǒng fáng yù cuò shī kān chēng wán měi ， dàn yě jué duì jīng bù qǐ wàn xiān méng méi yǒu xiū zhǐ de xiāo hào 。 huò xǔ chōng chū qù pīn sǐ yī bó ， fǎn dào shì huì yǒu yī xiàn shēng jī 。”
“虽然灵木界各种防御措施堪称完美，但也绝对经不起万仙盟没有休止的消耗。或许冲出去拼死一搏，反倒是会有一线生机。”
If the Spirit Wood World had not shifted its position, Li Fan had prepared a scheme to cut off his tail and survive. He would transfer to interconnected small worlds like the Empire or the Boundary World, then destroy the spatial channel.
“ yào wáng zhēn dǐng jīng guò zhè xiē nián de gǎi zào ， tǐ nèi róng liàng kuò dà le shù bèi ， yīng gāi néng jiāng dà bù fèn rén yì qǐ dài shàng 。” fāng zài jì yě bǔ chōng shuō míng dào 。
“药王真鼎经过这些年的改造，体内容量扩大了数倍，应该能将大部分人一起带上。”方再济也补充说明道。
While it couldn’t completely prevent the Ten Thousand Immortals League from tracking them, it could delay their pursuit for several days.
liǔ rú chén de yì jiàn ， dé dào le jué dà duō shù rén de rèn kě 。
柳如尘的意见，得到了绝大多数人的认可。
Unfortunately, during the initial relocation of the Spirit Wood World, its position had shifted, severing all connections with its affiliated small worlds. At this point, the only possible direction was to break through the Ten Thousand Immortals League's encirclement and fight a bloody path out.
fēn fēn kàn xiàng shèng tāi lǐ fán 。
纷纷看向圣胎李凡。
(End of Chapter)
Said to be a narrow victory, but in reality, the Spirit Wood World did not suffer any significant losses during these three clashes. It was merely a matter of accumulating some energy resources.
