huà shēn wèi sūn áng 、 qián fú jìn hù fǎ táng zǒng bù zhī nèi , zuì zhǔ yào de mù biāo qí shí bú shì yǎn fǎ jué 。
化身为孙昂、潜伏进护法堂总部之内,最主要的目标其实不是衍法珏。
Shifting into Sun Ang's form and infiltrating the headquarters of the Guardian Hall, Li Fan’s primary goal was not to deal with Deyifa Jue.
de dí què què shì wèi le cáng shēn 。
的的确确是为了藏身。
Indeed, it was for concealment.
cóng mù qián dǎ tàn dào de xìn xī lái kàn , wàn xiān méng duì yú zhèn shǒu yǎn fǎ jué de xiū shì guǎn lǐ shí fēn yán gé 。
从目前打探到的信息来看,万仙盟对于镇守衍法珏的修士管理十分严格。
From the information he had gathered so far, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance managed the guardians of Deyifa Jue with great strictness. Not only did their backgrounds and origins need to be clean, but they were mostly selected from long-standing families within the Guardian Hall. Before joining, one had to undergo rigorous scrutiny.
bù jǐn shēn shì lái lì xū yào qīng qīng bái bái , jī běn dōu shì hù fǎ táng shì dài chuán chéng jiā zú zhōng tiāo xuǎn 。
不仅身世来历需要清清白白,基本都是护法堂世代传承家族中挑选。
Moreover, a crucial point was that once chosen as a guardian, one was forbidden from leaving the headquarters of the Guardian Hall for three hundred years. While guarding, one also became a prisoner.
jiā rù zhī qián gèng yào jīng guò yán gé de shěn chá 。
加入之前更要经过严格的审查。
Thus, in the major传承 families of the Guardian Hall, few people were willing to take on this arduous task voluntarily, no matter how generous the reward might be. After all, with long-term immortality out of reach after reaching the Dao realm, what they sought was power and enjoyment. Sitting in prison for three hundred years wasn't something everyone could endure.
ér qiě , gèng guān jiàn de yì diǎn shì , yí dàn xuǎn zé zhèn shǒu yǎn fǎ jué , jiù yì wèi zhe sān bǎi nián nèi bù xǔ tà chū hù fǎ táng zǒng bù bàn bù 。
而且,更关键的一点是,一旦选择镇守衍法珏,就意味着三百年内不许踏出护法堂总部半步。
But these unique conditions formed Li Fan's best hiding place.
kān shǒu de tóng shí , zì shēn yě chéng wéi le qiú fàn 。
看守的同时,自身也成为了囚犯。
The headquarters of the Guardian Hall were located within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s headquarters. The space where Deyifa Jue resided had numerous array formations and prohibitions set up, even possibly with a transmission technique as a fallback plan. Even for today's Li Fan, he wasn't entirely sure if he could forcefully enter or exit.
suǒ yǐ zài hù fǎ táng gè dà chuán chéng shì jiā zhōng , jī běn méi yǒu rén huì yuàn yì zhǔ dòng gàn zhè kǔ chāi shì 。
所以在护法堂各大传承世家中,基本没有人会愿意主动干这苦差事。
Changing identities and hiding within it, waiting until the chaos outside reached its peak, no one would suspect that the true culprit had been lurking here in this important alliance stronghold for hundreds of years.
jiù suàn rèn wù de bào chóu zài zěn me fēng hòu yě shì rú cǐ 。
就算任务的报酬再怎么丰厚也是如此。
"Actually, Deyifa Jue is not very useful to me anymore."
bì jìng dào le hé dào zhī hòu , cháng shēng wú wàng 。
毕竟到了合道之后,长生无望。
"I now want to advance further. Unless it's a perfectly fitting Immortal Technique, I still need my own understanding and enlightenment regarding the Dao and the laws of the world."
suǒ zhuī qiú de wú fēi jiù shì quán lì 、 xiǎng shòu le 。
所追求的无非就是权力、享受了。
"The ordinary techniques derived from Deyifa Jue..."
zuò sān bǎi nián de láo , bìng bú shì shén me rén dōu néng rěn shòu de 。
坐三百年的牢,并不是什么人都能忍受的。
Li Fan shook his head slightly. After all, these were merely anomalies in Xuanhuang Heaven. From Li Fan’s current vantage point, trying to compete with Immortal Healers or Transmission Techniques, let alone True Immortals, Deyifa Jue could offer very limited assistance.
dàn zhè tè shū de tiáo jiàn , qià hǎo xíng chéng le lǐ fán zuì jiā de cáng shēn zhī suǒ 。
但这特殊的条件,恰好形成了李凡最佳的藏身之所。
After reincarnating multiple times and surveying ancient secrets, obtaining the essence of the Heavenly Mirror, many mysteries of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance became clear. With the guidance from the Immortal Healer’s heritage...
hù fǎ táng zǒng bù běn jiù wèi yú wàn xiān méng zǒng bù 。
护法堂总部本就位于万仙盟总部。
Li Fan's vision and standards were among the top in the Xuanhuang realm.
yǎn fǎ jué suǒ zài kōng jiān , gèng shì lìng yǒu zhū duō zhèn fǎ 、 jìn zhì bù zhì 。
衍法珏所在空间,更是另有诸多阵法、禁制布置。
For example, The True Transformation of the Oddly Profound, originally derived by Deyifa Jue, was only applicable up to the Foundation Establishment Realm. But after breaking through to the Spirit Formation Realm this time around, during his eight years in a small world, he managed to derive it to the Spirit Formation Realm without much effort.
shèn zhì hái yǒu kě néng yǒu chuán fǎ hòu shǒu 。
甚至还有可能有传法后手。
In some ways, Li Fan still subtly outperformed Deyifa Jue when it came to deriving techniques that suited him best.
jiù suàn shì rú jīn de lǐ fán , yě méi yǒu bǎi fēn bǎi de bǎ wò néng gòu qiáng rù qiáng chū 。
就算是如今的李凡,也没有百分百的把握能够强入强出。
After all, Li Fan possessed [Truly Real], something Deyifa Jue could never know about.
huàn gè shēn fèn 、 duǒ rù qí zhōng 。
换个身份、躲入其中。
"Unless..."
děng dào wài jiè nào dé tiān fān dì fù de shí hòu , rèn shuí yě bú huì xiǎng dào , zhè yī qiè mù hòu de zhēn xiōng , zǎo zài jǐ bǎi duō nián qián jiù yǐ jīng cáng shēn zài cǐ děng xiān méng zhòng dì le 。
等到外界闹得天翻地覆的时候,任谁也不会想到,这一切幕后的真凶,早在几百多年前就已经藏身在此等仙盟重地了。
"I help its transformation like the Final Epoch Disconnection Disc."
“ qí shí , yǎn fǎ jué duì yú wǒ lái shuō , zuò yòng yǐ jīng bù dà le 。”
“其实,衍法珏对于我来说,作用已经不大了。”
Li Fan's eyes flickered. As he thought, he flew out of the溶洞 beneath Wujiashan.
“ wǒ rú jīn xiǎng yào gèng jìn yí bù , chú fēi shì shí fēn qì hé de xiān fǎ 。 fǒu zé hái shì xū yào wǒ zì shēn duì dào 、 shì jiè zhī lǐ de lǐng wù 。”
“我如今想要更进一步,除非是十分契合的仙法。否则还是需要我自身对道、世界之理的领悟。”
The Purple Rong of Heaven and Earth was a weaker existence compared to the original Crimson Flame, but Li Fan had no interest in devouring it.
“ yǎn fǎ jué tuī yǎn chū lái de zhè xiē xún cháng gōng fǎ ……”
“衍法珏推衍出来的这些寻常功法……”
As for not devouring it, how could he pretend to have reached the Dao realm?
lǐ fán wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
李凡微微摇头。
Among the【Xuanhuang World's End Transformation】he absorbed, several lines of power were on par with that of the Heaven and Earth Soul. And their outward manifestation was almost indistinguishable from the Heaven and Earth Soul.
bì jìng zhǐ shì xuán huáng tiān zhī qí , zhàn zài lǐ fán rú jīn de gāo dù lái kàn , xiǎng yào gēn tiān yī 、 chuán fǎ 、 nǎi zhì zhēn xiān jué lì , yǎn fǎ jué néng gòu tí gōng de bāng zhù shì jí qí yǒu xiàn de 。
毕竟只是玄黄天之奇,站在李凡如今的高度来看,想要跟天医、传法、乃至真仙角力,衍法珏能够提供的帮助是极其有限的。
In essence, the Heaven and Earth Soul was a manifestation of Xuanhuang realm laws. At the moment of impending destruction, it couldn't have time to manifest corresponding Heaven and Earth Souls; instead, it directly manifested with world power.
ér lǐ fán lún huí duō shì , zòng lǎn gǔ jīn mì xīn 。
而李凡轮回多世,纵览古今秘辛。
During his flight back to Sun Family, Li Fan's attire and appearance subtly changed. His eyebrows and hair turned snow white, and his clothes seemed to be tainted by frost.
dé dào tiān xuán jìng běn yuán zhī hòu , wàn xiān méng zhū duō mì mì gèng shì yī lǎn wú yú 。
得到天玄镜本源之后,万仙盟诸多秘密更是一览无余。
The space he passed through seemed to form many tiny ice crystals due to the low temperature.
yòu dé tiān yī chuán chéng zhǐ diǎn ……
又得天医传承指点……
"【Heaven and Earth's heat fades into nothingness; all things are frozen】—one of Xuanhuang realm’s transformations in response to a life-or-death crisis."
lǐ fán xiàn zài yǎn guāng 、 shuǐ zhǔn , qí shí zài zhěng gè xuán huáng jiè zhōng , dōu shì zuì dǐng jiān de nà yī pī cún zài 。
李凡现在眼光、水准,其实在整个玄黄界中,都是最顶尖的那一批存在。
"To plunge everything into absolute darkness and silence, seeking to avoid disaster. Theoretically, it could work."
jiù bǐ rú 《 qí xuán zhēn líng biàn 》, yuán xiān kào yǎn fǎ jué tuī yǎn chū de bǎn běn , shì yòng chéng dù zhǐ shì tíng liú zài yuán yīng jìng jiè 。
就比如《奇玄真灵变》,原先靠衍法珏推衍出的版本,适用程度只是停留在元婴境界。
"Unfortunately, external forces were too powerful, instantly destroying the entire system."
dàn dāng lǐ fán cǐ shì tū pò dào huà shén zhī hòu , zài xiǎo shì jiè děng dài de bā nián zhōng , guāng píng zì jǐ 、 yě méi fèi shén me gōng fu , jiù jiāng qí tóng bù tuī yǎn dào le huà shén jìng jiè 。
但当李凡此世突破到化神之后,在小世界等待的八年中,光凭自己、也没费什么功夫,就将其同步推衍到了化神境界。
"This heat-fade ice-seal transformation is almost identical to the Ice Soul's power. I deliberately faked occasional energy fluctuations to mimic my recent ascension and unstable realm."
cóng mǒu zhǒng chéng dù ér yán , tuī yǎn zuì shì hé zì jǐ de gōng fǎ zhè fāng miàn , lǐ fán hái yǐn yǐn shèng guò yǎn fǎ jué yī chóu 。
从某种程度而言,推衍最适合自己的功法这方面,李凡还隐隐胜过衍法珏一筹。
As Li Fan pondered, Tianyu City was already in sight.
bì jìng lǐ fán shēn jù 【 hái zhēn 】, zhè yì diǎn shì jué jì bù kě néng ràng yǎn fǎ jué zhī xiǎo de 。
毕竟李凡身具【还真】,这一点是决计不可能让衍法珏知晓的。
Without hesitation, he flew straight into Sun Family’s residence within the city.
“ chú fēi ……”
“除非……”
Although there were family members holding key positions at the Guardian Hall for generations, with three Dao Realm cultivators now in his clan, Sun Family remained very低调.
“ gēn zhōng mò jiě lí dié yī yàng , wǒ bāng qí wán chéng shēng huá tuì biàn 。”
“跟终末解离碟一样,我帮其完成升华蜕变。”
In Tianyu City, they only purchased two adjacent, unremarkable cave dwellings. Only by entering could one discover that these interconnected caves had hidden depths.
lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng 。
李凡目光闪动。
"Sun Ang? You actually came back?"
yī biān sī suǒ zhe , tā yī biān fēi lí luò jiā shān dì xià róng dòng 。
一边思索着,他一边飞离珞珈山地下溶洞。
A somewhat irritable voice followed as Li Fan entered.
tiān dì zhī pò zǐ lóng , zhè bǐ chū dài chì yán hái yào chán ruò de cún zài , lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu tūn shì de xìng qù 。
天地之魄紫珑,这比初代赤炎还要孱弱的存在,李凡并没有吞噬的兴趣。
It was Wu Ningluo, Sun Ang's partner. Wu Ningluo’s cultivation level was similar to Sun Ang's, both at the late Spirit Formation Realm.
zhì yú bù tūn shì de huà , yòu rú hé wěi zhuāng hé dào ……
至于不吞噬的话,又如何伪装合道……
However, their relationship wasn't good; they had only become partners due to familial pressure and hadn't produced any offspring in years.
lǐ fán suǒ xī shōu de 【 xuán huáng miè shì zhī biàn 】 zhōng , qí zhōng bù xùn sè yú tiān dì zhī pò lì liàng de jiù yǒu shù tiáo 。
李凡所吸收的【玄黄灭世之变】中,其中不逊色于天地之魄力量的就有数条。
"Ah? What are you...?" Wu Ningluo's气势汹汹 demeanor suggested she was about to scold him. However, when she saw his appearance, she was taken aback.
ér qí wài zài biǎo xiàn lì liàng xíng shì , yě jī hū gēn tiān dì zhī pò jí qí xiāng sì 、 nán yǐ qū fēn 。
而其外在表现力量形式,也几乎跟天地之魄极其相似、难以区分。
Li Fan merely glanced at her without replying.
shuō dào dǐ , tiān dì zhī pò nǎi shì xuán huáng jiè fǎ zé jù xiàn 。
说到底,天地之魄乃是玄黄界法则具现。
"I'm tired."
zài jí jiāng huǐ miè de shùn jiān , zì rán lái bù jí zài jù xiàn chū xiāng yìng de tiān dì zhī pò , ér shì zhí jiē yǐ shì jiè zhī lì xiǎn huà 。
在即将毁灭的瞬间,自然来不及再具现出相应的天地之魄,而是直接以世界之力显化。
He said coldly and flew towards Sun Ang’s residence.
zài fēi dùn huí sūn jiā de tú zhōng , lǐ fán de yī wù 、 wài mào yě zài qiǎo rán jiān fā shēng le gǎi biàn 。
在飞遁回孙家的途中,李凡的衣物、外貌也在悄然间发生了改变。
Inside the Sun Family cave dwellings, a circular valley surrounded by mountains. Important buildings like the family assembly hall and treasure vault were located in the center of the valley, while individual residences were distributed around it.
méi máo 、 tóu fà biàn dé xuě bái , yī fú yě hǎo shì zhān rǎn le bīng shuāng 。
眉毛、头发变得雪白,衣服也好似沾染了冰霜。
Wu Ningluo had long harbored resentment over Sun Ang's sudden departure and subsequent disappearance. Seeing him return with his usual cold demeanor only fueled her anger further.
lǐ fán fēi dùn shí suǒ jīng guò de kōng jiān , sì hū dōu yīn wèi dī wēn ér chū xiàn xǔ duō xì xiǎo de bīng jīng 。
李凡飞遁时所经过的空间,似乎都因为低温而出现许多细小的冰晶。
However, when she saw his icy gaze, all her fury instantly dissipated. Unable to even call out to stop him, the emotion slowly faded as he disappeared from sight.
“【 tiān dì rè jì , wàn wù bīng fēng 】, cǐ xuán huáng jiè wèi le yìng duì shēng sǐ wēi jī ér shēng chū de qí zhōng yī dào yǎn huà 。”
“【天地热寂,万物冰封】,此玄黄界为了应对生死危机而生出的其中一道衍化。”
"Did I actually get scared by him?" Wu Ningluo was both shocked and angry.
“ jiāng tiān dì wàn shì wàn wù xiàn rù jué duì hēi àn 、 jì jìng de zhuàng tài , yǐ qiú duǒ guò zāi biàn 。 lǐ lùn shàng dí què kě xíng 。”
“将天地万事万物陷入绝对黑暗、寂静的状态,以求躲过灾变。理论上的确可行。”
Recalling Sun Ang's behavior just now, a bold guess flashed through her mind.
“ zhǐ kě xī , wài lái lì liàng tài guò qiáng dà , zhí jiē jiāng zhěng gè xì tǒng dōu gěi shùn jiān huǐ miè 。”
“只可惜,外来力量太过强大,直接将整个系统都给瞬间毁灭。”
"Has Sun Ang broken through?"
“ zhè rè jì bīng fēng zhī biàn , què shì gēn bīng xì lì liàng de tiān dì zhī pò jǐ wú chā bié 。 wǒ gù yì wěi zào de ǒu ěr wài yì de néng liàng bō dòng , mó nǐ chū wǒ gāng gāng jìn shēng 、 jìng jiè bù wěn de biǎo xiàng 。”
“这热寂冰封之变,却是跟冰系力量的天地之魄几无差别。我故意伪造的偶尔外溢的能量波动,模拟出我刚刚晋升、境界不稳的表象。”
When facing Sun Ang earlier, she indeed felt the same fear and unease she would only experience with family elders.
lǐ fán zhèng sī suǒ zhe , tiān yǔ kōng chéng jiù yǐ jīng zài wàng le 。
李凡正思索着,天禹空城就已经在望了。
With this thought, all her anger and dissatisfaction dissipated. With an excited disbelief, she hurriedly flew back to her home.
méi yǒu sī háo tíng dùn , jìng zhí fēi rù chéng zhōng sūn jiā 。
没有丝毫停顿,径直飞入城中孙家。
"Sun Lord?"
suī rán shì dài dōu yǒu jiā zú chéng yuán zài hù fǎ táng zhōng dān rèn yào zhí , rú jīn zú nèi gèng shì yǒu sān míng hé dào xiū shì 。 dàn sūn jiā què biǎo xiàn de shí fēn dī diào 。
虽然世代都有家族成员在护法堂中担任要职,如今族内更是有三名合道修士。但孙家却表现的十分低调。
She greeted him cautiously as if they had just met again.
zài tiān yǔ kōng chéng zhōng , zhǐ gòu rù le liǎng chù xiāng lín de 、 wài biǎo kàn shàng qù háo bù qǐ yǎn de dòng fǔ 。
在天禹空城中,只购入了两处相邻的、外表看上去毫不起眼的洞府。
