“ kě yǐ wèi wǒ jiǎng jiǎng tā de gù shì me ?”
“可以为我讲讲他的故事么?”
"Could you tell me about his story?"
yīn shàng rén tān zuò zài dì shàng , yǒu xiē huǎng hū de wèn dào 。
殷上人瘫坐在地上,有些恍惚的问道。
Master Yin slumped on the ground, somewhat dazed as he asked.
dǎ pò le chí xù xǔ jiǔ de jì jìng 。
打破了持续许久的寂静。
The silence that had lasted for a long time was broken.
bù jiǔ qián , réng rán bào yǒu yī sī jiǎo xìng de yīn shàng rén , zài shèng jīng chéng dì xià láo fáng zhōng jìn xíng le zuì hòu de shì yàn yàn zhèng 。
不久前,仍然抱有一丝侥幸的殷上人,在圣京城地下牢房中进行了最后的试验验证。
Not long ago, Master Yin, who still clung to a shred of hope, conducted the final experiment in the underground prison of the Holy City.
jié guǒ gēn lǐ píng shuō de bié wú èr zhì 。
结果跟李平说的别无二致。
The result was exactly what Li Ping said it would be.
yú shì tā bù zài shuō xiē shén me , zhǐ shì jiāng bái xiān shēng lèi gǔ xiǎo xīn yì yì de shōu cáng qǐ lái 。
于是他不再说些什么,只是将白先生肋骨小心翼翼的收藏起来。
So he didn't say anything more. Instead, he carefully stored White Sir's ribs away.
ér hòu huí dào shèng huáng zuò zhōng , bái xiān shēng yǐng xiàng miàn qián zhēng zhēng fā dāi 。
而后回到圣皇座中,白先生影像面前怔怔发呆。
Then he returned to his seat on the Holy Emperor's throne and stared at the image of White Sir, lost in thought.
lǐ píng yě méi yǒu dǎ rǎo , tóng yàng jǐn dīng zhe huà xiàng 。
李平也没有打扰,同样紧盯着画像。
Li Ping did not disturb him, also staring intently at the portrait.
sì hū yě zài miǎn huái 。
似乎也在缅怀。
It seemed they were both mourning.
cǐ kè yīn shàng rén fā wèn , zhèng zhōng lǐ píng xià huái 。
此刻殷上人发问,正中李平下怀。
At this moment, Master Yin's question hit Li Ping right where it counted.
dāng jí bǎ bái xiān shēng dà zhì de rén shēng jīng lì jiǎng shù le yī biàn 。
当即把白先生大致的人生经历讲述了一遍。
He immediately recounted White Sir's life experiences.
yīn shàng rén tīng dé shí fēn rù shén 。
殷上人听得十分入神。
Master Yin listened with rapt attention.
“ wǒ zhǐ zhī dào , shàng gǔ xuán huáng jiè yǒu líng jià yú suǒ yǒu cháng shēng jìng zhī shàng de dà tiān zūn cún zài 。 què méi yǒu xiǎng dào ……”
“我只知道,上古玄黄界有凌驾于所有长生境之上的大天尊存在。却没有想到……”
"I only knew that there existed a Great Heavenly Lord in the ancient Xuanhuang Realm who was above all Longevity Realm beings. But I never thought..."
“ zhè yàng de rén wù , jū rán huì wèi le fán rén xī shēng zì jǐ 。”
“这样的人物,居然会为了凡人牺牲自己。”
"Such a person would sacrifice himself for mere mortals."
yīn shàng rén liǎn shàng yǒu mí máng , yǒu bù jiě 。
殷上人脸上有迷茫,有不解。
There was confusion and disbelief on Master Yin's face.
“ shì zhě yǐ yǐ 。 wǒ men néng zuò de , jiù shì wán chéng bái xiān yí yuàn , yǐ dào wèi tā de zài tiān zhī líng 。”
“逝者已矣。我们能做的,就是完成白先遗愿,以悼慰他的在天之灵。”
"The deceased is gone. What we can do now is fulfill White Sir's wishes to honor his spirit in heaven."
“ wǒ zhī suǒ yǐ chuàng lì zhè 【 shèng cháo qǐ 】, tóng yàng yě shì wèi le zhè xiē fán rén 。 xiān shēng guān wǒ cháo jìng nèi , fán rén shēng huó yǔ xuán huáng jiè xiāng bǐ rú hé ?”
“我之所以创立这【圣朝启】,同样也是为了这些凡人。先生观我朝境内,凡人生活与玄黄界相比如何?”
"Why did I establish this [Holy Dynasty启]? It was also for the sake of these commoners. Sir, how does the life of ordinary people in our realm compare to that in Xuanhuang?"
yīn shàng rén zhuǎn guò tóu qù , mù guāng sì hū chà nà jiān kàn biàn dà qǐ gè dì 。
殷上人转过头去,目光似乎刹那间看遍大启各地。
Master Yin turned his head and seemed to survey the entire Great Qi land with a glance.
piàn kè hòu , tā wēi wēi diǎn tóu , tàn fú dào :“ bǐ qǐ xuán huáng jiè zhōng , fán rén rú huàn yǎng niú mǎ de zhuàng kuàng 。 nǐ zhè lǐ suàn de shàng shì fán rén lǐ xiǎng shèng shì le 。”
片刻后,他微微点头,叹服道:“比起玄黄界中,凡人如豢养牛马的状况。你这里算的上是凡人理想盛世了。”
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said admiringly: "Compared to the Xuanhuang Realm where commoners are treated like cattle or horses, this is indeed an ideal era for them."
“ wǒ zhī yuàn jǐng , jiù shì jiāng cǐ zhǒng zhì dù tuī xíng zhì xuán huáng zhū xiǎo shì jiè , nǎi zhì xuán huáng běn jiè zhōng !” lǐ píng ào rán dào 。
“我之愿景,就是将此种制度推行至玄黄诸小世界,乃至玄黄本界中!”李平傲然道。
"My vision is to spread this system throughout the various small worlds of Xuanhuang and even into the Xuanhuang realm itself!" Li Ping said proudly.
yīn shàng rén dǎ liàng le lǐ píng yī yǎn , tàn le kǒu qì , bìng wèi fǎn bó 。
殷上人打量了李平一眼,叹了口气,并未反驳。
Master Yin sized up Li Ping with a glance before sighing and not offering any rebuttal.
lǐ píng wēi wēi yī xiào :“ xiān shēng bù bì sàng qì , qiě xiān qǐng tīng wǒ yī yán 。”
李平微微一笑:“先生不必丧气,且先请听我一言。”
Li Ping smiled slightly: "Sir, you needn't be disheartened. Please listen to me."
“ xuán huáng zhī qiáng , zài yú chuán fǎ 。 chuán fǎ wú dí , zài yú xīn fǎ 。 ruò shì wǒ děng , néng yǐ bái xiān shēng suǒ chuán fǎ mén , huài chuán fǎ gēn jī ……”
“玄黄之强,在于传法。传法无敌,在于新法。若是我等,能以白先生所传法门,坏传法根基……”
"The strength of Xuanhuang lies in the transmission of techniques. The new techniques are invincible. If we can disrupt the foundation of technique transmission with what White Sir taught us..."
“ jiě jué le chuán fǎ , wàn xiān méng jí wǔ lǎo huì zhōng qí tā rén , jiē rú tǔ jī wǎ gǒu ěr 。”
“解决了传法,万仙盟及五老会中其他人,皆如土鸡瓦狗耳。”
"Once we solve the issue of technique transmission, everyone else in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders' Council will be like clay chickens or paper dogs."
yīn shàng rén dāi dāi dì kàn zhe lǐ píng , bù zhī dào wèi hé zhè wèi shēn shàng qì xī bù guò huà shén jìng jiè de xiū shì , kǒu qì jìng rán rú cǐ zhī dà 。
殷上人呆呆地看着李平,不知道为何这位身上气息不过化神境界的修士,口气竟然如此之大。
Master Yin stared at Li Ping blankly, wondering why this cultivator who had only reached the Transcendence Realm dared to speak so confidently.
ér gèng guān jiàn de shì , yīn shàng rén hái cóng duì fāng shēn shàng gǎn dào le qiáng liè de zì xìn 。
而更关键的是,殷上人还从对方身上感到了强烈的自信。
More importantly, he sensed a strong sense of confidence from him.
“ sì hū bìng bú shì wàng yán ? nán dào zhè wèi yǐn cáng le shí lì ?” yīn shàng rén yòu zǐ xì dǎ liàng qǐ lǐ píng lái 。
“似乎并不是妄言?难道这位隐藏了实力?”殷上人又仔细打量起李平来。
"Doesn't that seem like more than just empty talk? Could it be that you've hidden your true strength?" Master Yin scrutinized Li Ping again.
“ yù huài chuán fǎ gēn jī , wǒ kàn shì shàng fēi xiān shēng bù kě 。” lǐ píng méi yǒu duǒ bì yīn shàng rén de shěn shì de mù guāng , zài dù zhèng zhòng wàn fēn de shuō dào 。
“欲坏传法根基,我看世上非先生不可。”李平没有躲避殷上人的审视的目光,再度郑重万分的说道。
"I need someone to disrupt the foundation of technique transmission. I believe only Sir can do this." Li Ping did not avoid Master Yin's gaze and repeated his words solemnly.
yīn shàng rén yǒu xiē chí yí :“ guāng píng wǒ zhī cái , kǒng pà ……”
殷上人有些迟疑:“光凭我之才,恐怕……”
Master Yin hesitated: "With just my abilities, perhaps..."
lǐ píng qī shēn shàng qián , jǐn jǐn wò zhù yīn shàng rén shuāng shǒu :“ xiān shēng , wǒ xiāng xìn nǐ !”
李平欺身上前,紧紧握住殷上人双手:“先生,我相信你!”
Li Ping stepped forward and tightly grasped Master Yin's hands: "Sir, I trust you!"
lǐ píng yǎn zhōng mǎn shì zhēn zhì :“ shí nián bù xíng , jiù bǎi nián 。 bǎi nián bù xíng jiù qiān nián ! wǒ děng le zhè me jiǔ , zhōng yú děng dào le zhè me yī sī kě néng de xī wàng , yòu zěn me huì qīng yì fàng qì ?”
李平眼中满是真挚:“十年不行,就百年。百年不行就千年!我等了这么久,终于等到了这么一丝可能的希望,又怎么会轻易放弃?”
His eyes were filled with sincerity: "If it takes ten years, then a hundred. If a hundred doesn't work, try a thousand! We've waited so long for this glimmer of hope; how could we give up easily?"
“ xiǎng bì nǐ yě bù yuàn yì gū fù bái xiān shēng qī wàng ba ?”
“想必你也不愿意辜负白先生期望吧?”
"Surely you don't want to disappoint White Sir's expectations?"
yīn shàng rén wēi wēi yī chàn , xià yì shí jiāng quán tou wò jǐn 。
殷上人微微一颤,下意识将拳头握紧。
Master Yin trembled slightly and subconsciously tightened his fist.
“ xiān shēng zhǐ guǎn yán jiū xīn xīn fǎ biàn hǎo , qí tā yī qiè wèn tí , quán jiāo gěi wǒ 。”
“先生只管研究新新法便好,其他一切问题,全交给我。”
"Just focus on researching the new techniques. Leave everything else to me."
jīng guò zhè me yí tòng huà xià lái , yīn shàng rén yě zuì zhōng shēng le liú zài cǐ dì 、 yán jiū yǐ wǒ zhù jī zhī hòu fǎ mén de xīn sī 。
经过这么一通话下来,殷上人也最终生了留在此地、研究以我筑基之后法门的心思。
After their conversation, Master Yin finally decided to stay here and research the methods after he had become a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
fǎn zhèng duì tā ér yán , méi yǒu shòu mìng de xiàn zhì 。 rú guǒ bù zhǎo gè xīn gān qíng yuàn de shì qíng qù zuò , kǒng pà yào bù le duō jiǔ 、 jiù huì chè dǐ shī qù zì wǒ yì shí , gēn nà xiē shì jiè yōu hún tóng huà le 。
反正对他而言,没有寿命的限制。如果不找个心甘情愿的事情去做,恐怕要不了多久、就会彻底失去自我意识,跟那些世界幽魂同化了。
Since he was immortal, there was no limit to his lifespan. Without something to occupy him willingly, he might lose himself in no time and merge with those world spirits.
dé dào le yīn shàng rén de chéng nuò hòu , lǐ píng dà xǐ 。
得到了殷上人的承诺后,李平大喜。
After receiving Master Yin's promise, Li Ping was overjoyed.
dāng jí lǐng tā lái dào le shèng jīng chéng dì xià de mì mì kōng jiān zhōng 。
当即领他来到了圣京城地下的秘密空间中。
He immediately led him to the secret underground space of the Holy City.
hè rán shì zǎo yǐ jīng wèi yīn shàng rén zhǔn bèi hǎo le yī dà piàn zhuān yòng de yán jiū chǎng suǒ 。
赫然是早已经为殷上人准备好了一大片专用的研究场所。
Sure enough, a large research facility had been prepared for Master Yin long ago.
“ wǒ yǒu yī jì , xiān shēng kàn kàn kě xíng fǒu 。”
“我有一计,先生看看可行否。”
"I have a plan. Sir, please take a look."
“ tiāo xuǎn yī dà pī jí yǒu tiān fù de měng dǒng shào nián , shòu yǔ tā men zhè 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī zhī fǎ 】, ér hòu ……”
“挑选一大批极有天赋的懵懂少年,授予他们这【以我筑基之法】,而后……”
"Select a group of exceptionally talented young boys and teach them this [Foundation Establishment from Me] technique. Then..."
lǐ fán jiāng zì jǐ céng jīng yòng guò de fāng fǎ xiáng xì jiǎng le yī biàn 。
李凡将自己曾经用过的方法详细讲了一遍。
Li Ping detailed his method he had used before.
yīn shàng rén sī cǔn piàn kè hòu , shén qíng yǒu xiē níng zhòng :“ huò xǔ kě xíng 。 bù guò jù tǐ rú hé , hái xū yào zài shí jì yàn zhèng yī fān 。”
殷上人思忖片刻后,神情有些凝重:“或许可行。不过具体如何,还需要再实际验证一番。”
After some thought, Master Yin's expression turned serious: "It might work. But we need to verify it in practice first."
lǐ fán bǎi le bǎi shǒu :“ hái tóng suǒ sī suǒ xiǎng , rú tiān mǎ xíng kōng 。 jiù suàn bù néng zhēn de xī lǐ hú tú chuǎng chū yī tiáo lù lái , zhǐ yào néng gěi xiān shēng dīng diǎn qǐ fā , yě zú gòu le 。”
李凡摆了摆手:“孩童所思所想,如天马行空。就算不能真的稀里糊涂闯出一条路来,只要能给先生丁点启发,也足够了。”
Li Ping waved his hand: "Children think like horses running wild. Even if they can't truly stumble upon a path, as long as they give you any inspiration, that will be enough."
yīn shàng rén xiǎn rán yě bú shì shén me yū fǔ zhī rén , diǎn tóu tóng yì le lǐ fán de jì huà 。
殷上人显然也不是什么迂腐之人,点头同意了李凡的计划。
Master Yin was not a person of narrow-mindedness and agreed with Li Ping's plan.
duì yú zhè xiē bèi xuǎn zhōng hái tóng zhù dìng bēi cǎn de yī shēng , méi yǒu duō shǎo tóng qíng 。
对于这些被选中孩童注定悲惨的一生,没有多少同情。
He had little sympathy for the tragic lives of these selected children.
“ duì le , wǒ hái yǒu jiàn shì , yì zhí gěng gěng yú huái 。 xiǎng yào wán chéng , què shǐ zhōng bù dé qí fǎ ……” lǐ píng dùn le dùn , sì hū yǒu xiē yóu yù 。
“对了,我还有件事,一直耿耿于怀。想要完成,却始终不得其法……”李平顿了顿,似乎有些犹豫。
"By the way, I have something I've been thinking about for a while. I want to complete it but haven't found a solution..." Li Ping paused, seemingly hesitant.
yīn shàng rén kàn le yǎn lǐ píng , shì yì tā jì xù shuō xià qù 。
殷上人看了眼李平,示意他继续说下去。
Master Yin looked at him, indicating that he should continue.
“ bái xiān shēng shī gǔ 、 sàn luò xuán huáng jiè gè chù 。 wǒ xiǎng jiāng qí shōu lǒng 、 ān zàng 。 qí tā hái hǎo shuō , jī běn dōu shì yóu xiū shì sī xià shōu cáng 。 wéi dú ……”
“白先生尸骨、散落玄黄界各处。我想将其收拢、安葬。其他还好说,基本都是由修士私下收藏。唯独……”
"The remains of White Sir are scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm. I wish to gather them and bury them properly. The rest is fine; most are privately kept by cultivators. But..."
“ tā de lú gǔ , què bèi wàn xiān méng shōu cáng yú qí zǒng bù de bó wù shén cáng guǎn zhōng 。”
“他的颅骨,却被万仙盟收藏于其总部的博物神藏馆中。”
"His skull was collected by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and stored in their Museum of Divine Treasures."
lǐ píng yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī lì qì , hèn hèn dì shuō dào :“ bèi wàn xiān méng de nà xiē chóng zhì men , zhǐ diǎn zhǐ diǎn 、 háo wú zūn zhòng de cān guān 。 měi měi xiǎng dào cǐ chù , wǒ jiù hèn bù dé bù gù yī qiè chōng jìn qù , yào jiāng lú gǔ qiǎng huí lái 。”
李平眼中闪过一丝戾气,恨恨地说道:“被万仙盟的那些虫豸们,指点指点、毫无尊重的参观。每每想到此处,我就恨不得不顾一切冲进去,要将颅骨抢回来。”
Li Ping's eyes flashed with anger: "Those pests at the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, pointing fingers and disrespecting his remains every time they visit. Every time I think about it, I want to rush in and snatch back his skull."
“ kě xī , wǒ shì guò yī cì 。 wán quán méi yǒu chéng gōng de kě néng 。 shén cáng guǎn zhōng , sì hū yǐn cáng zhe yī wèi shén mì qiáng zhě 。 shèn zhì bǎ bái xiān shēng lú gǔ fàng zài shén cáng guǎn zuì zhōng yāng , yě shì tā de yì si 。 bǎi míng liǎo shì yí gè xiàn jǐng , xī yǐn wǒ zhè yàng duì bái xiān shēng shí fēn kàn zhòng de rén qián qù ……”
“可惜,我试过一次。完全没有成功的可能。神藏馆中,似乎隐藏着一位神秘强者。甚至把白先生颅骨放在神藏馆最中央,也是他的意思。摆明了是一个陷阱,吸引我这样对白先生十分看重的人前去……”
"Unfortunately, I've tried once. There is no chance of success. The Museum of Divine Treasures seems to hide a mysterious powerhouse. Even placing White Sir's skull at the center was his idea. It's clearly a trap designed to lure someone like me who holds such high regard for him..."
“ nǐ jìn qù guò wàn xiān méng zǒng bù ?” yīn shàng rén wén yán yī jīng 。
“你进去过万仙盟总部?”殷上人闻言一惊。
"You entered the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" Master Yin was surprised upon hearing this.
dài dào lǐ píng jiāng jìn rù hòu de zhǒng zhǒng chǎng jǐng xì jié quán dōu miáo shù chū lái hòu , tā kàn xiàng lǐ píng de yǎn shén yòu yǒu xì wēi de bù tóng 。
待到李平将进入后的种种场景细节全都描述出来后,他看向李平的眼神又有细微的不同。
After Li Ping described all the scenes in detail, Master Yin looked at him differently.
“ wǒ néng qián fú jìn qù yī cì , jiù néng qián fú jìn dì èr cì 。 dàn wéi dú nà bó wù shén cáng guǎn ……”
“我能潜伏进去一次,就能潜伏进第二次。但唯独那博物神藏馆……”
"I can sneak into it once and again. But that Museum of Divine Treasures..."
“ zhe shí yǒu xiē nán bàn 。” lǐ píng tàn le kǒu qì 。
“着实有些难办。”李平叹了口气。
"It's quite troublesome," Li Ping sighed.
yīn shàng rén zhè shí hòu fāng cái shuō dào :“ dào yǒu wú xū jǔ sàng 。 qí shí dāng nián , wǒ yě céng dòng guò zhè ge niàn tou 。 bù guò hòu lái zài nòng qīng chǔ shén cáng guǎn guǎn zhǎng de shēn fèn zhī hòu , wǒ jiù fàng qì le 。”
殷上人这时候方才说道:“道友无须沮丧。其实当年,我也曾动过这个念头。不过后来在弄清楚神藏馆馆长的身份之后,我就放弃了。”
Master Yin said: "Comrade, you needn't be disheartened. Actually, I had this idea back then too. But after figuring out the identity of the馆长of the Museum of Divine Treasures, I gave up."
“ cǐ rén nǎi shì dāng nián yāo shòu yī zú de sān wèi dì zūn zhī yī , cóng yuǎn gǔ shí qī jiù yǐ jīng cún zài 。 shèn zhì dāng nián chuán fǎ tiān zūn duì tā yě shì kè kè qì qì ……”
“此人乃是当年妖兽一族的三位帝尊之一,从远古时期就已经存在。甚至当年传法天尊对他也是客客气气……”
"This person was one of the three Imperial Lords from the Beast Clan in ancient times. He existed even before the era of transmission technique deities. Even the transmission technique deity treated him politely..."
lǐ píng wēi wēi zhòu méi :“ jìng yǒu rú cǐ shí lì ? dāng nián bái xiān shēng shā zhè xiē yāo shòu , rú tú jī shā gǒu 。”
李平微微皱眉:“竟有如此实力?当年白先生杀这些妖兽,如屠鸡杀狗。”
Li Ping frowned: "Such power? When White Sir killed those beasts, it was like slaughtering chickens and dogs."
“ chuán fǎ hái yào gèng shèng guò bái xiān shēng 。 yǐ chuán fǎ de shí lì 、 shēn fèn , yòu hé xū duì nà shén me dì zūn kè qì ?”
“传法还要更胜过白先生。以传法的实力、身份,又何须对那什么帝尊客气?”
"His transmission ability is even greater than White Sir's. With such power and status, why would he need to be polite to any Imperial Lord?"
yǔ qì zhōng mǎn shì yí huò , xiǎn rán lǐ píng gēn běn bù xìn yīn shàng rén cǐ yán 。
语气中满是疑惑,显然李平根本不信殷上人此言。
The tone was full of doubt, clearly Li Ping did not believe Master Yin.
yīn shàng rén wēi wēi yáo tóu :“ fǎn zhèng , wǒ néng kěn dìng , dāng nián chuán fǎ jiàn dào nà wèi de shí hòu , dí què rú cǐ 。 gēn duì dài qí tā rén de tài dù , jié rán bù tóng 。”
殷上人微微摇头:“反正,我能肯定,当年传法见到那位的时候,的确如此。跟对待其他人的态度,截然不同。”
Master Yin shook his head slightly: "Anyway, I can assure you that when the transmission technique deity met him back then, it was indeed like this. The attitude towards others is completely different."
“ yào me shì tā de shí lì dé dào le chuán fǎ de rèn kě , yào me ……”
“要么是他的实力得到了传法的认可,要么……”
"Either he gained recognition from the transmission technique deity or..."
yīn shàng rén dùn le dùn :“ tā men zǎo yǐ jīng xiāng shí 。”
殷上人顿了顿:“他们早已经相识。”
Master Yin paused: "They were already familiar with each other."
“ kě nà yīng gāi shì tā men dì yī cì jiàn miàn cái duì 。” yīn shàng rén yā dī le shēng yīn , xiǎn rán tā zì jǐ yě yǒu xiē mí huò 。
“可那应该是他们第一次见面才对。”殷上人压低了声音,显然他自己也有些迷惑。
"But shouldn't they be meeting for the first time?" Master Yin lowered his voice, clearly confused.
lǐ píng zhī dào , yīn shàng rén nǎi shì bèi xuán huáng jiè tūn shì de jiù shì jiè cán hún 。
李平知道,殷上人乃是被玄黄界吞噬的旧世界残魂。
Li Ping knew that Master Yin was a soul of an old world devoured by Xuanhuang.
yōng yǒu gù qù tiān dì de suì piàn jì yì , suǒ yǐ tā suǒ kàn dào de , yīng gāi bú huì yǒu jiǎ 。
拥有故去天地的碎片记忆,所以他所看到的,应该不会有假。
He had fragments of memories from the past universe, so what he saw might not be fake.
“ dì sān mò yuán běn shì yù shòu zōng zhǎng lǎo , shǔ yú xiān dào shí zōng yī mài 。 dāng shí zōng gēn chuán fǎ chǎn shēng chōng tū hòu , tā jìng rán huì xuǎn zé zhàn zài chuán fǎ nà biān 。 gèng shì zài shù qiān nián hòu , yáo shēn yī biàn , chéng wéi le bó wù shén cáng guǎn zhǎng 、 xiān méng sān dà zuì gāo tǒng zhì lì liàng zhī yī de 【 huàn zhēn xián zhě 】……”
“帝叁貘原本是御兽宗长老,属于仙道十宗一脉。当十宗跟传法产生冲突后,他竟然会选择站在传法那边。更是在数千年后,摇身一变,成为了博物神藏馆长、仙盟三大最高统治力量之一的【幻真贤者】……”
"Imperial Third Mo was originally an elder of the Beast Taming Sect. He belonged to one of the Ten Immortal Dao Schools. When conflicts arose between the Ten Immortal Dao Schools and the transmission technique deity, he chose to side with the transmission technique deity. In thousands of years, he transformed into the馆长of the Museum of Divine Treasures and became one of the three highest rulers in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance—True Illusion Sage..."
“ jiù shí me ?”
“旧识么?”
"Old acquaintance?"
lǐ píng hū rán xiǎng dào yí gè wèn tí 。
李平忽然想到一个问题。
Li Ping suddenly thought of a question.
tiān fǎ jiè , dào dǐ yǒu méi yǒu yāo shòu de cún zài ?
天法界,到底有没有妖兽的存在?
Was there any existence of beasts in the Heaven Law Realm?
xuán huáng yāo shòu , jiē shì yóu dì yī yǎn huà ér lái 。
玄黄妖兽,皆是由帝一衍化而来。
Xuanhuang's beasts were derived from the First Emperor.
nà me tiān fǎ jiè ne ?
那么天法界呢?
What about the Heaven Law Realm?
tóng yī shí jiān 。
同一时间。
At the same time, the original Li Fan within the Derivation Jade space of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters suddenly flashed with an indiscernible glint.
zhèng zài xiān méng zǒng bù yǎn fǎ jué kōng jiān nèi de lǐ fán běn zūn , yǎn zhōng hū de shǎn guò yī sī bù yì chá jué de yōu guāng 。
正在仙盟总部衍法珏空间内的李凡本尊,眼中忽的闪过一丝不易察觉的幽光。
"Perhaps I need to visit the Void Transcendence Realm again."
“ huò xǔ , hái yào zài qù yǔn xiān jìng zhōng yī tàng 。”
“或许,还要再去陨仙境中一趟。”
That was all for today. There will be one more chapter tomorrow during the day. My heart is racing, so I'll go to bed early.
jīn tiān jiù yī zhāng le , hái yǒu yī zhāng míng tiān bái tiān gèng 。 xīn tiào de lì hài , zǎo diǎn shuì le 。
今天就一章了,还有一章明天白天更。心跳的厉害,早点睡了。
(End of Chapter)
"Could you tell me about his story?"
Master Yin slumped on the ground, somewhat dazed as he asked.
The silence that had lasted for a long time was broken.
Not long ago, Master Yin, who still clung to a shred of hope, conducted the final experiment in the underground prison of the Holy City.
The result was exactly what Li Ping said it would be.
So he didn't say anything more. Instead, he carefully stored White Sir's ribs away.
Then he returned to his seat on the Holy Emperor's throne and stared at the image of White Sir, lost in thought.
Li Ping did not disturb him, also staring intently at the portrait.
It seemed they were both mourning.
At this moment, Master Yin's question hit Li Ping right where it counted.
He immediately recounted White Sir's life experiences.
Master Yin listened with rapt attention.
"I only knew that there existed a Great Heavenly Lord in the ancient Xuanhuang Realm who was above all Longevity Realm beings. But I never thought..."
"Such a person would sacrifice himself for mere mortals."
There was confusion and disbelief on Master Yin's face.
"The deceased is gone. What we can do now is fulfill White Sir's wishes to honor his spirit in heaven."
"Why did I establish this [Holy Dynasty启]? It was also for the sake of these commoners. Sir, how does the life of ordinary people in our realm compare to that in Xuanhuang?"
Master Yin turned his head and seemed to survey the entire Great Qi land with a glance.
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said admiringly: "Compared to the Xuanhuang Realm where commoners are treated like cattle or horses, this is indeed an ideal era for them."
"My vision is to spread this system throughout the various small worlds of Xuanhuang and even into the Xuanhuang realm itself!" Li Ping said proudly.
Master Yin sized up Li Ping with a glance before sighing and not offering any rebuttal.
Li Ping smiled slightly: "Sir, you needn't be disheartened. Please listen to me."
"The strength of Xuanhuang lies in the transmission of techniques. The new techniques are invincible. If we can disrupt the foundation of technique transmission with what White Sir taught us..."
"Once we solve the issue of technique transmission, everyone else in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders' Council will be like clay chickens or paper dogs."
Master Yin stared at Li Ping blankly, wondering why this cultivator who had only reached the Transcendence Realm dared to speak so confidently.
More importantly, he sensed a strong sense of confidence from him.
"Doesn't that seem like more than just empty talk? Could it be that you've hidden your true strength?" Master Yin scrutinized Li Ping again.
"I need someone to disrupt the foundation of technique transmission. I believe only Sir can do this." Li Ping did not avoid Master Yin's gaze and repeated his words solemnly.
Master Yin hesitated: "With just my abilities, perhaps..."
Li Ping stepped forward and tightly grasped Master Yin's hands: "Sir, I trust you!"
His eyes were filled with sincerity: "If it takes ten years, then a hundred. If a hundred doesn't work, try a thousand! We've waited so long for this glimmer of hope; how could we give up easily?"
"Surely you don't want to disappoint White Sir's expectations?"
Master Yin trembled slightly and subconsciously tightened his fist.
"Just focus on researching the new techniques. Leave everything else to me."
After their conversation, Master Yin finally decided to stay here and research the methods after he had become a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
Since he was immortal, there was no limit to his lifespan. Without something to occupy him willingly, he might lose himself in no time and merge with those world spirits.
After receiving Master Yin's promise, Li Ping was overjoyed.
He immediately led him to the secret underground space of the Holy City.
Sure enough, a large research facility had been prepared for Master Yin long ago.
"I have a plan. Sir, please take a look."
"Select a group of exceptionally talented young boys and teach them this [Foundation Establishment from Me] technique. Then..."
Li Ping detailed his method he had used before.
After some thought, Master Yin's expression turned serious: "It might work. But we need to verify it in practice first."
Li Ping waved his hand: "Children think like horses running wild. Even if they can't truly stumble upon a path, as long as they give you any inspiration, that will be enough."
Master Yin was not a person of narrow-mindedness and agreed with Li Ping's plan.
He had little sympathy for the tragic lives of these selected children.
"By the way, I have something I've been thinking about for a while. I want to complete it but haven't found a solution..." Li Ping paused, seemingly hesitant.
Master Yin looked at him, indicating that he should continue.
"The remains of White Sir are scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm. I wish to gather them and bury them properly. The rest is fine; most are privately kept by cultivators. But..."
"His skull was collected by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and stored in their Museum of Divine Treasures."
Li Ping's eyes flashed with anger: "Those pests at the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, pointing fingers and disrespecting his remains every time they visit. Every time I think about it, I want to rush in and snatch back his skull."
"Unfortunately, I've tried once. There is no chance of success. The Museum of Divine Treasures seems to hide a mysterious powerhouse. Even placing White Sir's skull at the center was his idea. It's clearly a trap designed to lure someone like me who holds such high regard for him..."
"You entered the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" Master Yin was surprised upon hearing this.
After Li Ping described all the scenes in detail, Master Yin looked at him differently.
"I can sneak into it once and again. But that Museum of Divine Treasures..."
"It's quite troublesome," Li Ping sighed.
Master Yin said: "Comrade, you needn't be disheartened. Actually, I had this idea back then too. But after figuring out the identity of the馆长of the Museum of Divine Treasures, I gave up."
"This person was one of the three Imperial Lords from the Beast Clan in ancient times. He existed even before the era of transmission technique deities. Even the transmission technique deity treated him politely..."
Li Ping frowned: "Such power? When White Sir killed those beasts, it was like slaughtering chickens and dogs."
"His transmission ability is even greater than White Sir's. With such power and status, why would he need to be polite to any Imperial Lord?"
The tone was full of doubt, clearly Li Ping did not believe Master Yin.
Master Yin shook his head slightly: "Anyway, I can assure you that when the transmission technique deity met him back then, it was indeed like this. The attitude towards others is completely different."
"Either he gained recognition from the transmission technique deity or..."
Master Yin paused: "They were already familiar with each other."
"But shouldn't they be meeting for the first time?" Master Yin lowered his voice, clearly confused.
Li Ping knew that Master Yin was a soul of an old world devoured by Xuanhuang.
He had fragments of memories from the past universe, so what he saw might not be fake.
"Imperial Third Mo was originally an elder of the Beast Taming Sect. He belonged to one of the Ten Immortal Dao Schools. When conflicts arose between the Ten Immortal Dao Schools and the transmission technique deity, he chose to side with the transmission technique deity. In thousands of years, he transformed into the馆长of the Museum of Divine Treasures and became one of the three highest rulers in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance—True Illusion Sage..."
"Old acquaintance?"
Li Ping suddenly thought of a question.
Was there any existence of beasts in the Heaven Law Realm?
Xuanhuang's beasts were derived from the First Emperor.
What about the Heaven Law Realm?
...
At the same time, the original Li Fan within the Derivation Jade space of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters suddenly flashed with an indiscernible glint.
"Perhaps I need to visit the Void Transcendence Realm again."
That was all for today. There will be one more chapter tomorrow during the day. My heart is racing, so I'll go to bed early.
