suí zhe shí jiān yī fēn yī miǎo guò qù ， sūn lù yuǎn de é tóu yǒu lěng hàn dī luò 。
随着时间一分一秒过去，孙路远的额头有冷汗滴落。
As time ticked by, drops of cold sweat trickled down Sun Lu Yuan's forehead.
dì di sūn lù yáo sì hū yě zài kòng zhì zhe zì jǐ de yù wàng ， kuài sù sōu xún zhe yǒu guān tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn de xìn xī 。
弟弟孙路遥似乎也在控制着自己的欲望，快速搜寻着有关天玄镜分身的信息。
Brother Sun Lu Yao seemed to be in control of his desires as well, rapidly searching for information about the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's avatar.
“ bù xíng le ！”
“不行了！”
"Can't go on!"
yǎn jiàn sūn lù yáo yì zhí méi yǒu tíng xià lái de yì si ， sūn lù yuǎn yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jué rán ， chà nà jiān hái shì jiāng tiān xuán xiǎo jìng gěi shōu le qǐ lái 。
眼见孙路遥一直没有停下来的意思，孙路远眼中闪过一丝决然，刹那间还是将天玄小镜给收了起来。
Seeing that Sun Lu Yao had no intention of stopping, a determined look flashed across Sun Lu Yuan’s eyes. He quickly stowed away the Heavenly Xuan Mini-Mirror.
zhòu rán shī qù le kě tūn shì de duì xiàng ， sūn lù yáo gēn yǐ wǎng yī yàng ， shà shí biàn dé kuáng bào qǐ lái 。
骤然失去了可吞噬的对象，孙路遥跟以往一样，霎时变得狂暴起来。
Suddenly losing its target to devour, Sun Lu Yao became as frenzied as usual.
“ hái bù gòu ！ wǒ yào gèng duō ！”
“还不够！我要更多！”
"Not enough! I need more!"
“ gē ， jiù jiù wǒ ！”
“哥，救救我！”
"Brother, save me!"
zuì zhōng hái shì kào zhe sūn lù yuǎn de jīng xuè ， tā de qíng xù cái màn màn wěn dìng le xià lái 。
最终还是靠着孙路远的精血，他的情绪才慢慢稳定了下来。
Finally, it was his brother's essence that calmed him down.
wǎn ruò shòu guò jí dà chuāng shāng 、 sǐ ér fù shēng ， sūn lù yáo de xū yǐng bǐ qǐ yǐ wǎng sì hū gèng jiā xū ruò le jǐ fēn 。
宛若受过极大创伤、死而复生，孙路遥的虚影比起以往似乎更加虚弱了几分。
Sun Lu Yao’s shadow seemed weaker than before, like a person who had just survived an immense trauma.
tā yǒu qì wú lì de wēi wēi tàn dào ：“ gē ， nǐ tài jí le xiē 。 jiù chà nà me yì diǎn ……”
他有气无力的微微叹道：“哥，你太急了些。就差那么一点……”
"Weakly sighing, he said, "Brother, you were too hasty. Just one more bit..."
“ nìng kě shī bài ， yě bù néng bài lù 。 děng děng ， nǐ shuō ……” sūn lù yuǎn zhèng shuō zhe ， hū rán fǎn yìng guò lái dì di huà lǐ de yì si 。
“宁可失败，也不能败露。等等，你说……”孙路远正说着，忽然反应过来弟弟话里的意思。
"Better to fail than be exposed. Wait, what did you say..." Sun Lu Yuan suddenly realized the meaning behind his brother's words.
sūn lù yáo diǎn le diǎn tóu ， jiāng yī xiē huà miàn chuán le guò qù ：“ dí què bú shì wèi le duō tūn shì diǎn ér biān zào de jiè kǒu 。 zhè cì zhēn de hǎo yùn ， yī xià zi jiù bǔ zhuō dào le guān yú tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn de kě néng xìn xī 。”
孙路遥点了点头，将一些画面传了过去：“的确不是为了多吞噬点而编造的借口。这次真的好运，一下子就捕捉到了关于天玄镜分身的可能信息。”
Sun Lu Yao nodded and transmitted some images: "This wasn't an excuse to devour more. This time we got lucky; I managed to capture information about the Heavenly Xuan Mirror’s avatar."
“ zhǐ kě xī ， jiù zài shùn zhe gǎn zhī dào fēn shēn jù tǐ suǒ zài wèi zhì yǐ jīng shēn fèn de shí hòu ， nǐ bǎ lián jiē zhōng duàn le 。”
“只可惜，就在顺着感知到分身具体所在位置已经身份的时候，你把连接中断了。”
"Unfortunately, just as I was able to pinpoint its location and identity, you cut off the connection."
sūn lù yáo huà lǐ yǒu xiē kě xī ， bù guò què yě méi yǒu zé bèi de yì wèi 。
孙路遥话里有些可惜，不过却也没有责备的意味。
Sun Lu Yao seemed a bit disappointed but didn’t blame his brother.
“ zhèng jǐ dào ， dé xiāo yáo 。 zhè tiān xuán jìng jìng rán zǎo jiù fēn huà chū le fēn shēn ， bù jīn shì táo lí xiān méng zhǎng kòng ， hái yào jiè cǐ wán chéng lìng lèi de chāo tuō ？” sūn lù yuǎn dùn jué yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì 。
“证己道，得逍遥。这天玄镜竟然早就分化出了分身，不禁是逃离仙盟掌控，还要借此完成另类的超脱？”孙路远顿觉有些不可思议。
"How can this mirror split into an avatar? Not only does it escape the Immortal Alliance's control, but it also aims for some kind of transcendence?" Sun Lu Yuan found this hard to believe.
ér zī liào zhōng xiǎn shì de lìng wài yī tiáo xìn xī ， gèng shì ràng tā xīn shén jù zhèn 、 dāng chǎng shī tài 。
而资料中显示的另外一条信息，更是让他心神剧震、当场失态。
Another piece of information in the files shook him even more.
“ fǎn shì zhǎng jìng rén ， jìng nú ？”
“反噬掌镜人，镜奴？”
"Mirror Tyrant, Servant?"
huí xiǎng qǐ cǐ qián fú dà rén suǒ shuō de zhǎng jìng rén cāng de yì cháng ， yǐ jí fú huà yǔ zhōng méi yǒu míng shuō de bù fèn ， sūn lù yuǎn dùn shí míng bái guò lái 。
回想起此前伏大人所说的掌镜人苍的异常，以及伏话语中没有明说的部分，孙路远顿时明白过来。
Recalling Lord Fu’s abnormal description of the Mirror Tyrant and what he didn’t say explicitly, Sun Lu Yuan understood.
“ yuán lái fú tā yě bèi tiān xuán jìng shì tú zhǎng kòng guò ， bù guò huò xǔ jiǎo xìng táo tuō 、 méi yǒu bèi qí dé shǒu 。 suǒ yǐ cái huì duì tóng yàng shì zhǎng jìng rén de cāng yǒu suǒ huái yí 。”
“原来伏他也被天玄镜试图掌控过，不过或许侥幸逃脱、没有被其得手。所以才会对同样是掌镜人的苍有所怀疑。”
"Fu was also controlled by the Heavenly Xuan Mirror. Perhaps he managed to escape without being caught. That's why he doubts the Mirror Tyrant, Cang."
“ jiān dū 、 zhǎng kòng tiān xuán jìng de ， jū rán yǒu bèi fǎn guò lái kòng zhì de fēng xiǎn 。 ruò shì cǐ shì xiè lòu chū qù ， kǒng pà zhěng gè zhǎng jìng rén yī mài ， dōu yào bèi chè dǐ de qīng xǐ 。 shèn zhì huì yīn cǐ yǐn qǐ xiān méng zhèn dàng ……”
“监督、掌控天玄镜的，居然有被反过来控制的风险。若是此事泄露出去，恐怕整个掌镜人一脉，都要被彻底的清洗。甚至会因此引起仙盟震荡……”
"The Mirror Tyrants are actually at risk of being controlled in reverse. If this leaks out, the entire lineage would be thoroughly purged, and it might even cause an upheaval within the Immortal Alliance..."
xiǎng dào cǐ shì yí dàn bào guāng ， kě néng huì yǐn qǐ de hòu guǒ ， sūn lù yuǎn xīn zhōng biàn yǐn yǐn fā hán 。
想到此事一旦曝光，可能会引起的后果，孙路远心中便隐隐发寒。
Thinking about the potential consequences if this were exposed, Sun Lu Yuan felt a chill.
tóng shí xīn zhōng yǒu le jué yì ：“ bù xíng ， nìng yuàn pīn zhe shòu dào fú de chéng chǔ ， yě bù néng bào lù wǒ zhī xiǎo zhè jiàn shì 。 fǒu zé ， wèi le wéi hù zì shēn tǒng zhì dì wèi ， fú yǐ jí lìng wài suǒ yǒu de zhǎng jìng rén ， dū huì xuǎn zé shā rén miè kǒu 。”
同时心中有了决议：“不行，宁愿拼着受到伏的惩处，也不能暴露我知晓这件事。否则，为了维护自身统治地位，伏以及另外所有的掌镜人，都会选择杀人灭口。”
He made up his mind: "No, I can't expose my knowledge of this. Brother, you'll rest for now. I’ll handle Fu."
“ gòu le 。 cǐ shì dào cǐ wéi zhǐ 。 shén me tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn ， gēn wǒ men sūn jiā wú guān 。 dì di nǐ jiē xià lái jiù xiē xī yī duàn shí jiān ， fú dà rén nà biān ， wǒ huì táng sè guò qù 。” sūn lù yuǎn miàn sè yī sù ， lěng shēng shuō dào 。
“够了。此事到此为止。什么天玄镜分身，跟我们孙家无关。弟弟伱接下来就歇息一段时间，伏大人那边，我会搪塞过去。”孙路远面色一肃，冷声说道。
"Brother? Such a good opportunity..." Sun Lu Yao was confused and disappointed.
“ gē ？ zhè me hǎo de jī huì ……” sūn lù yáo yǒu xiē cuò è bù jiě 。
“哥？这么好的机会……”孙路遥有些错愕不解。
But Sun Lu Yuan didn’t explain; he just conveyed his firm stance with his eyes.
dàn sūn lù yuǎn méi yǒu gēn tā jiě shì ， ér shì yòng yǎn shén biǎo dá le zì jǐ jiān jué de tài dù 。
但孙路远没有跟他解释，而是用眼神表达了自己坚决的态度。
Since elder brothers always made the decisions in the Sun family, Sun Lu Yao had no choice but to comply.
sūn jiā xiōng dì jiān xiàng lái shì zhǎng xiōng zuò zhǔ ， sūn lù yáo jiàn zhuàng ， yě wú kě nài hé 。
孙家兄弟间向来是长兄做主，孙路遥见状，也无可奈何。
After calming his brother down, Sun Lu Yuan left the secret room with heavy thoughts.
ān fǔ le dì di yī zhèn ， sūn lù yuǎn huái zhuó zhòng zhòng xīn shì ， lí kāi le cǐ jiān mì shì zhōng 。
安抚了弟弟一阵，孙路远怀着重重心事，离开了此间密室中。
Silence followed for a long time.
ān jìng le xǔ jiǔ 。
安静了许久。
"Sir, you saw it too; I can't blame myself," Sun Lu Yao nervously apologized to Li Fan.
“ dà rén ， nín yě kàn dào le ， zhè kě bù néng guài wǒ 。” sūn lù yáo yǒu xiē tǎn tè bù ān de xiàng lǐ fán qǐng zuì 。
“大人，您也看到了，这可不能怪我。”孙路遥有些忐忑不安的向李凡请罪。
"Don’t worry. Your brother is indeed something special," Li Fan said coolly.
“ wú fáng ， nǐ gē yě dí què shì gè rén wù 。” lǐ fán dàn dàn dì shuō dào 。
“无妨，你哥也的确是个人物。”李凡淡淡地说道。
Li Fan’s words weren’t exaggerated. Under the influence of his distraction technique and familial guidance, as well as various great secrets, Sun Lu Yuan still managed to remain calm and make the right decisions.
lǐ fán cǐ huà dào yě méi yǒu kuā dà 。
李凡此话倒也没有夸大。
This Sun family head was truly impressive.
néng zài lǐ fán fēn shén de mì fǎ yǐng xiǎng 、 xuè mài qīn qíng de kè yì yǐn dǎo ， yǐ jí zhū duō tiān dà yǐn mì de yòu huò xià ， réng rán néng bǎo chí lěng jìng sī kǎo ， zuò chū zuì zhèng què jué zé 。
能在李凡分神的秘法影响、血脉亲情的刻意引导，以及诸多天大隐秘的诱惑下，仍然能保持冷静思考，做出最正确抉择。
Just now, when he had been probing the Heavenly Xuan Mirror for its secrets,
zhè sūn jiā jiā zhǔ ， dàng zhēn bù sú 。
这孙家家主，当真不俗。
he hadn't stolen any information about the avatar.
gāng gāng zài gēn tiān xuán xiǎo jìng jiē chù ， kuī tàn jìng zhōng ào mì de shí hòu 。
刚刚在跟天玄小镜接触，窥探镜中奥秘的时候。
Li Fan already knew the mirror’s location; a few hints were enough to cover it up.
zì rán bú shì qiè qǔ de shén me tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn de xìn xī 。
自然不是窃取的什么天玄镜分身的信息。
He had hoped to use this great secret to directly arrange a meeting with Mirror Tyrant Fu.
guān yú tiān xuán jìng fēn shēn de wèi zhì ， lǐ fán zǎo yǐ jīng zhī xiǎo 。 zhǐ shì suí yì tòu lù yī xiē ， jiù néng yìng fù guò qù 。
关于天玄镜分身的位置，李凡早已经知晓。只是随意透露一些，就能应付过去。
But Sun Lu Yuan's decisiveness thwarted his plans temporarily.
běn xiǎng zhe néng gòu jiè zhù zhè tiān dà yǐn mì ， zhí jiē cù chéng gēn zhǎng jìng rén fú jiàn miàn de jī huì 。
本想着能够借助这天大隐秘，直接促成跟掌镜人伏见面的机会。
However, Li Fan wasn’t bothered by this.
dàn sūn lù yuǎn de guǒ jué ， què shì ràng lǐ fán de jì huà zàn shí là le kōng 。
但孙路远的果决，却是让李凡的计划暂时落了空。
"Today we planted a seed. Time will tell; there are many opportunities ahead."
bù guò lǐ fán yě bìng bù zài yì 。
不过李凡也并不在意。
"The goal for today has been achieved."
“ jīn rì zhǐ shì zhòng xià yí gè zhǒng zi 。 lái rì fāng cháng ， jīn hòu hái yǒu de shì jī huì 。”
“今日只是种下一个种子。来日方长，今后还有的是机会。”
Li Fan reviewed the true information gleaned from the Boundless Mirror.
“ fǎn zhèng jīn cì mù biāo ， yǐ jīng dá dào le 。”
“反正今次目标，已经达到了。”
"[Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Great Array], re-establishing fire, water, wind, and earth in the void, recreating the world..."
lǐ fán chá kàn zhe gāng gāng wú liàng jìng kuī tàn de zhēn zhèng xìn xī 。
李凡查看着刚刚无量镜窥探的真正信息。
"Such power is almost divine. Immortal array techniques truly inspire awe."
“【 xuán yuán shǐ líng dà zhèn 】， yú xū kōng zhōng zhòng lì dì huǒ shuǐ fēng 、 kāi tiān pì dì ， zài zào shì jiè ……”
“【玄元始灵大阵】，于虚空中重立地火水风、开天辟地，再造世界……”
Indeed, what Li Fan had stolen from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror was fleeting thoughts of a Celestial-grade array technique.
“ rú cǐ wēi néng ， jī hū yǔ shén huà zhōng de shén míng wú yì 。 xiān jiā zhèn fǎ ， dàng zhēn lìng rén xiàng wǎng 。”
“如此威能，几乎与神话中的神明无异。仙家阵法，当真令人向往。”
These thoughts appeared multiple times—when the mirror resisted its binding, when it recalled its glorious past in the immortal realm, or when pondering how to address the Xuanhuang world's impending doom.
méi cuò ， zhè cì lǐ fán kòng zhì zhe wú liàng jìng ， cóng tiān xuán jìng zhōng qiè qǔ de ， shì yī shǎn ér guò de 、 guān yú xiān jí zhèn fǎ de xiē xǔ sī xù 。
没错，这次李凡控制着无量镜，从天玄镜中窃取的，是一闪而过的、关于仙级阵法的些许思绪。
This array with creation power consisted of nine celestial-grade arrays combined. Even in the immortal realm, very few could complete such a setup.
cǐ sī xù chū xiàn guò shù cì ， bāo kuò dàn bù xiàn yú tiān xuán jìng bèi fù bù gān 、 xiǎng dào tuō kùn zhī cè shí ， huí yì wǎng xī zài xiān jiè róng guāng suì yuè shí 、 yì huò zhě sī suǒ rú hé jiě jué yìng duì 、 xuán huáng jiè miè shì wēi jī shí 。
此思绪出现过数次，包括但不限于天玄镜被缚不甘、想到脱困之策时，回忆往昔在仙界荣光岁月时、亦或者思索如何解决应对、玄黄界灭世危机时。
Li Fan knew about [Xuan Jī, Ten Thousand Spirits Returning to Numbers], [Huāng Luò, Void Blossoms from Vacant Rooms], and the Boundless Mirror’s source of power, [Boundless, Primordial Chaos Square]. These were all part of the Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Great Array.
cǐ yǒu chuàng shì wēi néng de dà zhèn ， nǎi shì yóu yī tào jiǔ zhǒng xiān jí zhèn fǎ fù hé gòu zhù ér chéng 。
此有创世威能的大阵，乃是由一套九种仙级阵法复合构筑而成。
The Xuan Jī, Ten Thousand Spirits Returning to Numbers array could transform everything within its range into data.
nǎ pà zài dāng nián de xiān jiè ， yě shì jí wéi qiáng hèng 、 xiǎn yǒu néng wán chéng bù zhì zhě 。
哪怕在当年的仙界，也是极为强横、鲜有能完成布置者。
Huāng Luò, Void Blossoms from Vacant Rooms allowed for creation in the void, bringing something out of nothing.
lǐ fán cǐ qián zhī xiǎo de 【 xuán jī 、 wàn líng guī shù 】、【 huāng luò 、 xū shì shēng huā 】， yǐ jí wú liàng jìng zhōng zhī suǒ yǐ néng gòu kuī tàn tiān xuán de dòng lì yuán quán 【 wú liàng 、 hóng méng jiàn fāng 】， jiē shì zhè xuán yuán shǐ líng dà zhèn de yī bù fèn 。
李凡此前知晓的【璇玑、万灵归数】、【荒落、虚室生花】，以及无量镜中之所以能够窥探天玄的动力源泉【无量、鸿濛见方】，皆是这玄元始灵大阵的一部分。
And Boundless, Primordial Chaos Square analyzed secrets in a tiny space, providing the foundation for the Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Great Array to create worlds.
xuán jī 、 wàn líng guī shù dà zhèn ， néng jiāng zhèn fǎ lǒng zhào zhōng yī qiè guī yú shù jù huà 。 suí yì zhuǎn biàn 。
璇玑、万灵归数大阵，能将阵法笼罩中一切归于数据化。随意转变。
Through fleeting thoughts from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, Li Fan learned that in the immortal realm, any part of the world had an absolute similarity with the world itself. Thus, all secrets could be revealed through any item within the world.
huāng luò 、 xū shì shēng huā dà zhèn ， zé shì néng gòu xū kōng zào wù 、 wú zhōng shēng yǒu 。
荒落、虚室生花大阵，则是能够虚空造物、无中生有。
All supernatural techniques and cultivation methods could be understood by examining a common stone on the ground.
ér wú liàng 、 hóng méng jiàn fāng ， zé shì yú fāng cùn jiān zì fā jiě xī shì jiān yǐn mì ， wèi xuán yuán shǐ líng dà zhèn chuàng zào shì jiè shù lì jiān shí jī chǔ 。
而无量、鸿蒙见方，则是于方寸间自发解析世间隐秘，为玄元始灵大阵创造世界竖立坚实基础。
If someone had told him this before, he would have thought they were speaking nonsense.
tōng guò tiān xuán jìng yī shǎn ér guò de sī xù ， lǐ fán dé zhī zài xiān jiè liú chuán zhe zhè yàng yī zhǒng rèn zhī ： shì jiān de rèn yì gòu chéng bù fèn ， dōu yǔ shì jiè zì shēn yǒu zhe jué duì de xiāng sì xìng 。 yě jiù shì shuō ， shì jiè shàng de suǒ yǒu mì mì 、 dōu néng tōng guò shì jiè nèi de rèn yī wù pǐn suǒ jiě xī zhǎn xiàn chū lái 。
通过天玄镜一闪而过的思绪，李凡得知在仙界流传着这样一种认知：世间的任意构成部分，都与世界自身有着绝对的相似性。也就是说，世界上的所有秘密、都能通过世界内的任一物品所解析展现出来。
But coming from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror’s memory and consensus in the immortal realm, it forced Li Fan to reconsider.
suǒ yǒu de shén tōng 、 gōng fǎ ， dōu néng cóng dì shàng zuì pǔ tōng de shí tou zhōng lǐng wù 。
所有的神通、功法，都能从地上最普通的石头中领悟。
However, transcending mundane laws was beyond his comprehension.
ruò shì zhī qián yǒu rén duì lǐ fán zhè me shuō ， nà me tā kěn dìng huì rèn wéi tā shì zài hú yán luàn yǔ 。
若是之前有人对李凡这么说，那么他肯定会认为他是在胡言乱语。
After much contemplation, Li Fan shook his head slightly, committing these thoughts to memory.
dàn ruò shì lái zì tiān xuán jìng de jì yì 、 xiān jiè zhōng de gòng shí 。
但若是来自天玄镜的记忆、仙界中的共识。
Returning to reality, he began using the End-of-Time Disentanglement Disc to derive [Boundless, Primordial Chaos Square] from the remnants of the array in the Boundless Mirror and the vague memories in the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.
nà jiù bù dé bù ràng lǐ fán shēn sī le 。
那就不得不让李凡深思了。
"If the array were complete, this Boundless Mirror wouldn’t just probe the Heavenly Xuan Mirror. It might analyze all items in the Xuanhuang world."
bù guò chāo yuè fán sú de guī lǜ rèn zhī ， xiǎn rán bú shì tā néng xiǎng tōng de 。
不过超越凡俗的规律认知，显然不是他能想通的。
"Even that Fishing Pool of Immortal Treasures..."
sī cǔn liáng jiǔ zhī hòu ， lǐ fán zhǐ dé wēi wēi yáo tóu ， jiāng qí láo láo jì zài xīn zhōng 。
思忖良久之后，李凡只得微微摇头，将其牢牢记在心中。
(End of Chapter)
As time ticked by, drops of cold sweat trickled down Sun Lu Yuan's forehead.
Brother Sun Lu Yao seemed to be in control of his desires as well, rapidly searching for information about the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's avatar.
"Can't go on!"
Seeing that Sun Lu Yao had no intention of stopping, a determined look flashed across Sun Lu Yuan’s eyes. He quickly stowed away the Heavenly Xuan Mini-Mirror.
Suddenly losing its target to devour, Sun Lu Yao became as frenzied as usual.
"Not enough! I need more!"
"Brother, save me!"
Finally, it was his brother's essence that calmed him down.
Sun Lu Yao’s shadow seemed weaker than before, like a person who had just survived an immense trauma.
