wú níng lù jiāng lǐ fán dì guò lái de yù fú shōu qǐ ， yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
吴凝鹭将李凡递过来的玉符收起，欲言又止。
Wu Ningluo put away the jade talisman Li Fan had given him, hesitating to speak.
“ bù guò sān bǎi nián bà le ！ wǒ qù le ！”
“不过三百年罢了！我去了！”
"Only three hundred years! I'll go!"
lǐ fán zhǐ bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， bù zài duō yán 。
李凡只摆了摆手，不再多言。
Li Fan merely waved his hand and said no more.
gēn suí zhe sūn jiā jiā zhǔ ， qián wǎng le wàn xiān méng zǒng bù 。
跟随着孙家家主，前往了万仙盟总部。
Following the head of the Sun family, they headed toward the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
jiāo gěi wú níng lù de nà méi yù fú ， qí shí chú le chōng dāng tōng xùn líng fú de zuò yòng yǐ wài ， qí běn zhì hái shì yí gè wēi suō jù hé zhèn fǎ 。
交给吴凝鹭的那枚玉符，其实除了充当通讯灵符的作用以外，其本质还是一个微缩聚合阵法。
The jade talisman Wu Ningluo received served not only as a communication spirit token but was essentially a microcosmic array that contained Li Fan's fragment soul. It could fully monitor Wu Ningluo while its primary purpose was to plant an eye outside and keep track of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s movements.
bāo hán le lǐ fán de yī dào fēn hún 。
包含了李凡的一道分魂。
The fragment soul, possessing the essence of the Heavenly Profound Mirror, could remain hidden within it, constantly supervising the alliance's affairs. After all, during his time guarding the Derivative Law Jewel, he might have been completely isolated, unable to even use the Heavenly Profound Mirror easily.
néng gòu shí xiàn duì wú níng lù de quán fāng wèi jiān shì de tóng shí ， zuì zhǔ yào de mù dì ， hái shì zài wài jiè chā yí gè yǎn 、 shí kè guān zhù wàn xiān méng dòng xiàng 。
能够实现对吴凝鹭的全方位监视的同时，最主要的目的，还是在外界插一个眼、时刻关注万仙盟动向。
His doppelgänger was also in a small world and rarely ventured out. Leaving a contingency plan was necessary.
fēn hún jù bèi tiān xuán jìng běn yuán ， néng gòu qián fú zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng ， shí kè jiān dū wàn xiān méng shì tài 。
分魂具备天玄镜本源，能够潜伏在天玄镜中，时刻监督万仙盟事态。
With Li Fan’s current strength, this fragment soul's combat power was not much different from that of an ordinary cultivator who had achieved the Dao.
bì jìng zài zhèn shǒu yǎn fǎ jué de zhè duàn shí jiān lǐ ， huò xǔ shì wán quán gé jué zhuàng tài 、 lián tiān xuán jìng dōu wú fǎ qīng yì dòng yòng 。
毕竟在镇守衍法珏的这段时间里，或许是完全隔绝状态、连天玄镜都无法轻易动用。
The only drawback was that it couldn’t recover as quickly after battle like normal cultivators; its strength diminished with each use without replenishment from the main body.
ér fēn shēn yòu zài dà qǐ xiǎo shì jiè ， qīng yì bú huì wài chū 。
而分身又在大启小世界，轻易不会外出。
As for the friend Li Fan mentioned to Wu Ningluo...
liú yí gè hòu shǒu ， hái shì yǒu bì yào de 。
留一个后手，还是有必要的。
It naturally referred to his Saint Blood Embryo. However, without the True Immortal Net and essence energy infusion, the Saint Embryo had barely broken through to the Qi Refinement Realm.
yǐ lǐ fán rú jīn de shí lì ， suǒ liú de zhè yī dào fēn hún ， shí jì zhàn lì yě gēn xún cháng hé dào chà bù liǎo duō shǎo le 。
以李凡如今的实力，所留的这一道分魂，实际战力也跟寻常合道差不了多少了。
Sent into the ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was currently taming the Black Heaven Sword. With previous experience, there should be no issues; only time would tell.
wéi yī de bì duān jiù shì bù xiàng zhèng cháng xiū shì nà yàng ， kě yǐ zài zhàn dòu hòu xùn sù huī fù 。
唯一的弊端就是不像正常修士那样，可以在战斗后迅速恢复。
...
méi yǒu běn zūn bǔ chōng ， lì liàng yòng yī fēn 、 shǎo yī fēn 。
没有本尊补充，力量用一分、少一分。
Sun Xingyao, head of the Sun family, had been at the Dao Formation stage for over five hundred years. He once guarded the Derivative Law Jewel when young.
zhì yú lǐ fán gēn wú níng lù suǒ shuō de nà wèi hǎo yǒu ……
至于李凡跟吴凝鹭所说的那位好友……
On their way to the alliance headquarters, he introduced the details of this "job."
zì rán shì tā suǒ chuàng zào de shèng xuè huà tāi le 。
自然是他所创造的圣血化胎了。
"The Derivative Law Jewel is our alliance's foundation. Despite being in the alliance’s headquarters, it seems safe. In reality, we must constantly guard against the machinations of lesser individuals."
bù guò méi yǒu le zhēn xiān zhī wǎng 、 yuán lì jīng cuì de guàn zhù ， shèng tāi rú jīn zhǐ shì kān kān tū pò dào liàn qì jìng jiè 。
不过没有了真仙之网、源力精粹的灌注，圣胎如今只是堪堪突破到炼气境界。
"Over a thousand years, the Five Elders have attempted at least three actions targeting the Derivative Law Jewel. They tried to get close and then used what they called an evil curse to attack its mental will."
bèi lǐ fán sòng rù dào le tiān jiàn zōng yí jì lǐ ， zhèng zài shōu fú hēi jiàn tiān zhī qí 。
被李凡送入到了天剑宗遗迹里，正在收服黑剑天之奇。
"The Derivative Law Jewel..."
yǒu le cǐ qián de jīng lì ， bú huì yǒu shén me wèn tí 。 zhǐ shì xū yào shuǐ mó gōng fu 。
有了此前的经历，不会有什么问题。只是需要水磨功夫。
"It has almost no defense against such attacks. Once it’s hit, it means at least a hundred years of stagnation. The last successful attempt by the Five Elders caused significant damage to our alliance. However, we can’t make a fuss about it; the price for exchanging techniques in the Heavenly Profound Mirror doubled as a result. Alliance cultivators were furious..." Sun Xingyao shook his head, recalling his youth.
……
……
"So your job isn't as simple as it seems."
sūn jiā jiā zhǔ sūn xīng yào ， hé dào yǐ yǒu wǔ bǎi yú nián 。
孙家家主孙兴耀，合道已有五百余年。
"Head of the family, if I fail to stop these malicious attacks during my tenure and cause damage to the Derivative Law Jewel, what will happen?" Li Fan asked.
tā nián qīng shí ， yě céng jīng zhèn shǒu guò yǎn fǎ jué 。
他年轻时，也曾经镇守过衍法珏。
Sun Xingyao stopped in his tracks.
zài yī tóng qián wǎng xiān méng zǒng bù de lù shàng ， wèi lǐ fán jiè shào qǐ zhè fèn “ gōng zuò ” de xì jié 。
在一同前往仙盟总部的路上，为李凡介绍起这份“工作”的细节。
He turned to look at Li Fan, paused for a moment, then said, "Rest assured; we’ll take good care of Ningluo. Go with peace of mind."
“ yǎn fǎ jué nǎi shì wǒ men xiān méng gēn jī suǒ zài 。 bié kàn shēn chù xiān méng zǒng bù ， sì hū ān quán wú bǐ 。 shí zé xū yào shí kè dī fáng xiāo xiǎo de shǒu duàn 。”
“衍法珏乃是我们仙盟根基所在。别看身处仙盟总部，似乎安全无比。实则需要时刻提防宵小的手段。”
Li Fan was momentarily speechless.
“ qiān nián jiān ， wǔ lǎo huì zuì shǎo cè huà guò bù xià sān qǐ zhēn duì yǎn fǎ jué de xíng dòng 。 tā men xiǎng fǎ shè fǎ jiē jìn yǎn fǎ jué ， ér hòu yòng míng wèi è zhòu de shù fǎ ， duì qí jìn xíng jīng shén yì zhì gōng jī 。”
“千年间，五老会最少策划过不下三起针对衍法珏的行动。他们想法设法接近衍法珏，而后用名为恶咒的术法，对其进行精神意志攻击。”
Before, he hadn't realized that Sun Xingyao had a sense of humor.
“ yǎn fǎ jué tā ……”
“衍法珏她……”
In the flickering light and shadow, Li Fan returned to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
“ duì zhè fāng miàn de fáng yù néng lì jǐ děng yú wú ， yí dàn zhòng zhāo ， jiù yì wèi zhe zuì qǐ mǎ bǎi nián de tíng zhì 。 shàng yī cì wǔ lǎo huì de chéng gōng dé shǒu ， shǐ de xiān méng sǔn shī cǎn zhòng 。 piān piān cǐ shì yòu bù néng shēng zhāng ， zhǐ shì tiān xuán jìng zhōng gōng fǎ de duì huàn jià gé ， jī hū fān le yí bèi 。 xiān méng xiū shì yuàn shēng zài dào ， fèi fǎn yíng tiān ……” sūn xīng yào huí yì qǐ nián qīng shí de wǎng shì ， àn zì yáo tóu 。
“对这方面的防御能力几等于无，一旦中招，就意味着最起码百年的停滞。上一次五老会的成功得手，使得仙盟损失惨重。偏偏此事又不能声张，只是天玄镜中功法的兑换价格，几乎翻了一倍。仙盟修士怨声载道，沸反盈天……”孙兴耀回忆起年轻时的往事，暗自摇头。
As before, an illusion appeared in front of him.
“ suǒ yǐ nǐ zhè fèn chāi shì ， bìng bù xiàng kàn shàng qù nà me jiǎn dān 。”
“所以你这份差事，并不像看上去那么简单。”
But...
“ jiā zhǔ 。 ruò shì rèn zhí qī jiān ， méi néng lán zhù zhè xiē è yì gōng jī ， dǎo zhì yǎn fǎ jué shòu sǔn 。 yòu huì rú hé ？” lǐ fán wèn dào 。
“家主。若是任职期间，没能拦住这些恶意攻击，导致衍法珏受损。又会如何？”李凡问道。
This time, it was different from the previous vision of the Teaching Sage.
sūn xīng yào qián xíng bù fá dùn shí zhǐ zhù 。
孙兴耀前行步伐顿时止住。
On boundless fields, smoke rose gently. On one roof, a seemingly simple youth lay, his eyes lifeless as he gazed at the sky, lost in thought.
tā huí tóu kàn le kàn lǐ fán ， dùn le dùn ， dào ：“ fǎn zhèng chéng nuò bù biàn ， wǒ men huì hǎo hǎo zhào gù níng lù de 。 nǐ fàng xīn qù biàn shì 。”
他回头看了看李凡，顿了顿，道：“反正承诺不变，我们会好好照顾凝鹭的。你放心去便是。”
"Dog Egg, come down for dinner."
lǐ fán dùn shí yǔ sè 。
李凡顿时语塞。
The scene abruptly ended here.
zhī qián méi kàn chū lái ， zhè sūn xīng yào hái pǒ jù jǐ fēn yōu mò gǎn 。
之前没看出来，这孙兴耀还颇具几分幽默感。
Emerging from the illusion, Li Fan was momentarily stunned.
guāng yǐng biàn huàn jiān ， lǐ fán zài dù huí dào le wàn xiān méng zǒng bù 。
光影变幻间，李凡再度回到了万仙盟总部。
Sun Xingyao assumed he was impressed by the highly realistic hallucination and explained, "There's a trace of the Teaching Sage’s aura left at our alliance headquarters. That’s why..."
gēn zhī qián yī yàng ， yǎn qián yī jiù fú xiàn chū le huàn jǐng 。
跟之前一样，眼前依旧浮现出了幻景。
Li Fan already knew this.
zhǐ shì ……
只是……
He was pondering something else.
zhè yī cì gēn cǐ qián suǒ jiàn chuán fǎ tiān zūn xiàng bù tóng 。
这一次跟此前所见传法天尊像不同。
"That simple-looking youth named Dog Egg..."
yí wàng wú jì de tián yě shàng ， chuī yān niǎo niǎo shēng qǐ 。 qí zhōng yī jiān nóng jiā fáng shè de wū dǐng ， zhèng tǎng zhe wèi kàn shàng qù shí fēn hān hòu de shào nián 。
一望无际的田野上，炊烟袅袅升起。其中一间农家房舍的屋顶，正躺着位看上去十分憨厚的少年。
"Was it from his early teachings?"
shuāng mù wú shén ， kàn zhe tiān kōng ， sì hū zài xiǎng xiē shén me 。
双目无神，看着天空，似乎在想些什么。
Replaying the image in his mind, there were indeed some similarities to an older Teaching Sage.
“ gǒu dàn ， xià lái chī fàn le 。”
“狗蛋，下来吃饭了。”
"Could it be that the Teaching Sage is a native of the Profound Yellow World?"
huà miàn dào cǐ jiá rán ér zhǐ 。
画面到此戛然而止。
"No."
cóng huàn jǐng zhōng tuō shēn ， lǐ fán bù yóu wēi wēi lèng zhù 。
从幻景中脱身，李凡不由微微愣住。
Li Fan repeatedly watched that brief scene several times.
sūn xīng yào hái yǐ wéi tā shì bèi nà jí dù zhēn shí de huàn jué suǒ zhèn hàn ， wèi tā jiě shì qǐ lái ：“ xiān méng zǒng bù yǒu chuán fǎ tiān zūn yī sī qì xī cán liú ， suǒ yǐ ……”
孙兴耀还以为他是被那极度真实的幻觉所震撼，为他解释起来：“仙盟总部有传法天尊一丝气息残留，所以……”
"The appearance of this Dog Egg has nothing to do with the Teaching Sage who dominated the Profound Yellow World for centuries."
lǐ fán duì cǐ zì rán zhī xiǎo 。
李凡对此自然知晓。
"That look of confusion and the significant turning point in his life seem more like..."
tā shì zài xiǎng lìng wài de shì qíng 。
他是在想另外的事情。
A word flashed through Li Fan's mind: "Transmigration."
“ nà míng wèi gǒu dàn de hān hòu shào nián ……”
“那名为狗蛋的憨厚少年……”
"If my earlier guess is correct, then this youth named Dog Egg should be Heavenly Medicine Soul Transmigration?"
“ shì xiǎo shí hòu de chuán fǎ ？”
“是小时候的传法？”
"From the Heaven Law Realm, his consciousness was dormant from birth. Only after several years did he awaken."
nǎo hǎi zhōng huí fàng zhe gāng gāng kàn dào de yǐng xiàng ， dí què yǒu jǐ fēn lǎo nián chuán fǎ de yǐng zi 。
脑海中回放着刚刚看到的影像，的确有几分老年传法的影子。
"Was it through this method to evade the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao and Profound Yellow’s Heavenly Dao's pursuit?"
“ nán bù chéng ， chuán fǎ shì tǔ shēng tǔ zhǎng de xuán huáng jiè rén ？”
“难不成，传法是土生土长的玄黄界人？”
Just as Li Fan was a native cultivator in the eyes of the Profound Yellow Heavenly Dao, back then, the Teaching Sage remained hidden despite all external probing.
“ bú duì 。”
“不对。”
Li Fan still didn't understand the mechanism behind "transmigration," but he knew it wasn’t just simple possession.
lǐ fán yòu fǎn fù jiāng nà yī duàn duǎn zàn de huà miàn zhòng guān le shù biàn 。
李凡又反复将那一段短暂的画面重观了数遍。
"Through some secret technique to go undetected and be reborn as a native of the Profound Yellow World."
“ zhè gǒu dàn de miàn xiàng ， zěn me kàn yě gēn héng yā xuán huáng yī shì de chuán fǎ tiān zūn chě bù shàng guān xì 。”
“这狗蛋的面相，怎么看也跟横压玄黄一世的传法天尊扯不上关系。”
Li Fan’s thoughts slowly turned. As he pondered, Sun Xingyao casually asked about his hallucination.
“ nà chōng mǎn mí máng de yǎn shén ， yǐ jí hòu lái rén shēng guǐ jì de jù dà zhuǎn zhé ， dào xiàng shì ……”
“那充满迷茫的眼神，以及后来人生轨迹的巨大转折，倒像是……”
Li Fan naturally replied that he saw the Teaching Sage's image.
yí gè cí bù jīn chū xiàn zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
一个词不禁出现在李凡脑海中。
Sun Xingyao nodded slightly: "It seems Lu'er will surpass me in future accomplishments."
chuān yuè 。
穿越。
Without waiting for Li Fan to ask, he explained further: "Every cultivator sees a different illusion upon their first visit here. It’s said to be related to one’s fundamental path. Since all techniques come from the Teaching Sage, seeing his image more closely means an even brighter future."
“ rú guǒ wǒ zhī qián cāi xiǎng zhèng què de huà ， nà me zhè míng jiào zuò gǒu dàn de qīng nián ， yīng gāi jiù shì tiān yī hún chuān ？”
“如果我之前猜想正确的话，那么这名叫做狗蛋的青年，应该就是天医魂穿？”
"Some true geniuses can see the scene of the Teaching Sage's first teaching..."
“ cóng tiān fǎ jiè ér lái ， zì tāi zhōng chén mián yì shí 。 zhí dào shù nián hòu ， fāng cái jué xǐng 。”
“从天法界而来，自胎中沉眠意识。直到数年后，方才觉醒。”
Sun Xingyao spoke with envy.
“ shì tōng guò zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ ， lái táo tuō xiān dào shí zōng yǐ jí xuán huáng tiān dào de zhuī chá de me ？”
“是通过这种方法，来逃脱仙道十宗以及玄黄天道的追查的么？”
Li Fan remained silent, his vigilance heightened.
jiù xiàng rú jīn de lǐ fán ， zài xuán huáng tiān dào yǎn lǐ ， shì bù zhé bù kòu de běn tǔ xiū shì yī yàng 。
就像如今的李凡，在玄黄天道眼里，是不折不扣的本土修士一样。
His strength had surged rapidly this time, allowing him to glimpse the young Teaching Sage. If he delved deeper, it might trigger the Teaching Sage’s awareness.
bǐ shí de chuán fǎ ， rèn píng wài jiè rú hé tàn chá ， yě méi yǒu bào lù zhēn zhèng dǐ xì 。
彼时的传法，任凭外界如何探查，也没有暴露真正底细。
Using the array in the air of the alliance headquarters, they quickly arrived at the Guardian Hall headquarters.
lǐ fán shàng bù míng bái ， suǒ wèi de “ chuān yuè ”， jiū jìng shì jī yú zěn yàng de jī lǐ 。
李凡尚不明白，所谓的“穿越”，究竟是基于怎样的机理。
"Follow me," Sun Xingyao said, slightly gesturing with his hands.
dàn tā shí fēn qīng chǔ ， gēn dān chún de duó shě ， kěn dìng shì bù xiāng tóng de 。
但他十分清楚，跟单纯的夺舍，肯定是不相同的。
An invisible force field instantly enveloped him and Li Fan.
“ tōng guò mǒu zhǒng mì shù ， mán tiān guò hǎi 、 zhuǎn shēng chéng xuán huáng jiè rén me 。”
“通过某种秘术，瞒天过海、转生成玄黄界人么。”
The previously silent inner energy within his body began to stir again.
lǐ fán sī xù huǎn huǎn zhuǎn dòng 。
李凡思绪缓缓转动。
"It has some restraining effect but isn’t as noticeable as before."
zhèng dāng tā sī kǎo de shí hòu ， sūn xīng yào suí kǒu xún wèn qǐ le tā suǒ jiàn zhī huàn jué 。
正当他思考的时候，孙兴耀随口询问起了他所见之幻觉。
"If we were to fight, I would still be invincible among Dao Formation cultivators."
lǐ fán zì rán huí dá zhī qián suǒ jiàn de chuán fǎ tiān zūn xiàng 。
李凡自然回答之前所见的传法天尊像。
Li Fan remained calm as he followed Sun Xingyao into the Guardian Hall. Unlike when using the Visitation Jade Token, they truly arrived at the Guardian Hall.
sūn xīng yào wén yán wēi wēi diǎn tóu ：“ kàn lái lù ér nǐ jiāng lái de chéng jiù ， shì zhù dìng yào chāo guò wǒ de 。”
孙兴耀闻言微微点头：“看来禄儿你将来的成就，是注定要超过我的。”
The circular dome was adorned with countless star points.
bù dài lǐ fán fā wèn ， tā jiù zhǔ dòng jiě shì qǐ lái ：“ měi wèi xiū shì chū cì lái cǐ ， suǒ jiàn huàn jué dōu gè bù xiāng tóng 。”
不待李凡发问，他就主动解释起来：“每位修士初次来此，所见幻觉都各不相同。”

Wu Ningluo put away the jade talisman Li Fan had given him, hesitating to speak.
"Only three hundred years! I'll go!"
Li Fan merely waved his hand and said no more.
Following the head of the Sun family, they headed toward the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The jade talisman Wu Ningluo received served not only as a communication spirit token but was essentially a microcosmic array that contained Li Fan's fragment soul.

"The Derivative Law Jewel is our alliance's foundation. Despite being in the alliance’s headquarters, it seems safe. In reality, we must constantly guard against the machinations of lesser individuals."
