zhè lìng qí fǎ bǎo běn shēn de cái zhì yě shì xī shū píng cháng ， zài zhè yí wù hǎi yáng zhōng ， yě bìng méi yǒu tè yì bèi tiāo xuǎn chū lái de jià zhí 。
这令旗法宝本身的材质也是稀疏平常，在这遗物海洋中，也并没有特意被挑选出来的价值。
The material of this command flag was unremarkable. In the ocean of relics, it wasn't specially selected for any particular value.
“ nán bù chéng ， shì wèi le shàng miàn fù zuò yòng yǐ jīng xiāo tuì de zhēn xiān zhuàn zì zhī lì ？”
“难不成，是为了上面副作用已经消退的真仙篆字之力？”
"Could it be that its power has diminished to the point where the side effects have subsided?"
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī dòng ， shà shí míng bái guò lái 。
李凡心中一动，霎时明白过来。
Li Fan's mind stirred as he suddenly understood. Gently caressing the command flag, he sensed a familiar aura.
huǎn huǎn fǔ mō zhe lìng qí ， tā gǎn yìng dào le shú xī de qì xī 。
缓缓抚摸着令旗，他感应到了熟悉的气息。
"Disorder Decree..."
“ luàn zì jué ……”
“乱字诀……”
"As time passes, even the True Immortal Inscribed Characters' power reaches its limit."
“ zhǐ bù guò suí zhe shí guāng de liú shì ， jiù suàn zhēn xiān zhuàn zì lì liàng ， yě zhōng jiū dào dá le jìn tóu 。”
“只不过随着时光的流逝，就算真仙篆字力量，也终究到达了尽头。”
The complete character "Disorder" flashed in his mind. After a moment, the Saint Embryo Li Fan's hand stiffened slightly as he grasped the command flag.
nǎo hǎi zhōng shà shí fú xiàn wán zhěng de 【 luàn 】 zì ， piàn kè zhī hòu 、 shèng tāi lǐ fán wò zhù lìng qí de shǒu wēi wēi yī jiāng 。
脑海中霎时浮现完整的【乱】字，片刻之后、圣胎李凡握住令旗的手微微一僵。
He realized that just now, the last vestiges of power on the command flag had completely dissipated. Replacing it was his deeper understanding of the Disorder Decree!
yīn wèi tā fā xiàn ， jiù zài gāng gāng ， lìng qí shàng fù zhuó de zuì hòu yī sī lì liàng yě chè dǐ xiāo sàn 。
因为他发现，就在刚刚，令旗上附着的最后一丝力量也彻底消散。
This progress was subtle but significant. Since Li Fan's comprehension of the character "Disorder" was still at a basic level, this change stood out more noticeably and caught his attention.
qǔ ér dài zhī de ， shì zì jǐ duì yú 【 luàn 】 zì jué de gǎn wù ， hè rán yǐn yǐn gēng shēn le yī xiē ！
取而代之的，是自己对于【乱】字诀的感悟，赫然隐隐更深了一些！
"Can these relics actually serve as material for enlightenment?"
zhè ge jìn bù shí fēn xì wēi 。
这个进步十分细微。
The Saint Embryo Li Fan felt a tremor in his heart. Looking at the countless floating relics around him, he saw them differently now.
bù guò lǐ fán běn shēn duì yú luàn zì de lǐng wù yě shì tíng liú zài zuì jī běn de yī hú lú huà piáo shàng ， suǒ yǐ xiǎn de xiāng duì bǐ jiào míng xiǎn 。 chà nà bèi lǐ fán suǒ bǔ zhuō dào 。
不过李凡本身对于乱字的领悟也是停留在最基本的依葫芦画瓢上，所以显得相对比较明显。刹那被李凡所捕捉到。
"Unfortunately, it seems only relics where the True Immortal Inscribed Characters' power is about to fade can be used as enlightenment resources. Otherwise, there's a risk of harm. The method to distinguish between them..."
“ jìng rán kě yǐ chéng wéi wù dào de cái liào ？”
“竟然可以成为悟道的材料？”
The Saint Embryo Li Fan cast his gaze towards the hidden sanctuary.
shèng tāi lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù miǎn yǒu xiē zhèn dòng ， zhè shí zài kàn xiàng zhè lǐ de wú shù piāo fú yí wù ， yǎn shén hè rán bù tóng 。
圣胎李凡心中不免有些震动，这时再看向这里的无数漂浮遗物，眼神赫然不同。
For the next half a year, Li Fan hid in the shadows. Each time he saw other cultivators go out to gather relics, he would replicate their actions.
“ bù guò yí hàn de shì ， sì hū zhǐ yǒu zhè zhǒng zhēn xiān zhuàn zì zhī lì jí jiāng xiāo sàn dì bù de yí wù ， cái néng dàng zuò wù dào zī liáng ， fǒu zé fǎn ér huì yǒu bèi shāng hài de fēng xiǎn 。 biàn bié tā men qū bié de fāng fǎ ……”
“不过遗憾的是，似乎只有这种真仙篆字之力即将消散地步的遗物，才能当做悟道资粮，否则反而会有被伤害的风险。辨别它们区别的方法……”
He sent fragments of his consciousness attached to these gathered relics.
shèng tāi lǐ fán bǎ shì xiàn tóu xiàng le nà ge yǐn bì de cáng shēn zhī suǒ 。
圣胎李凡把视线投向了那个隐蔽的藏身之所。
Firstly, to study how the alarms were triggered; secondly, to acquire all True Immortal Inscribed Character enlightenment relics.
jiē xià lái dà bàn nián shí jiān ， lǐ fán jiù yì zhí duǒ zài yīn àn chù 。 měi cì chèn zhe yǒu xiū shì wài chū sōu jí yí wù de shí hòu ， jiù rú fǎ páo zhì 。
接下来大半年时间，李凡就一直躲在阴暗处。每次趁着有修士外出搜集遗物的时候，就如法炮制。
In the Xuanhuang Realm, the ultimate disintegration disc in his main识海 was fully engaged, deciphering unknown arrays.
pài chū fēn shén fù zhuó zài nà xiē sōu jí hǎo de yí wù shàng 。
派出分神附着在那些搜集好的遗物上。
Through research on eight obtained relics, Li Fan became even more convinced of his judgment. The surviving civilization in this darkest star sea had gathered these relics to study and potentially utilize True Immortal Inscribed Character power.
yī shì wèi le yán jiū jǐng bào chù fā de fāng shì ， èr shì shùn biàn huò qǔ yī qiè zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de wù dào yí wù 。
一是为了研究警报触发的方式，二是顺便获取一切真仙篆字的悟道遗物。
"Actually able to discern the degree of this power..."
xuán huáng jiè zhōng ， běn zūn shí hǎi lǐ de zhōng mò jiě lí dié ， zhèng quán lì yǐ fù 、 jiě xī zhe wèi zhī de zhèn fǎ 。
玄黄界中，本尊识海里的终末解离碟，正全力以赴、解析着未知的阵法。
"The strength here is not to be underestimated."
ér shèng tāi lǐ fán tōng guò duì bā jiàn dào shǒu yí wù de yán jiū ， gèng jiā què xìn le zì jǐ de pàn duàn 。
而圣胎李凡通过对八件到手遗物的研究，更加确信了自己的判断。
Among these eight relics, three came from "Disorder," two from "Hunger."
zhè zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng lìng wài xìng cún de wén míng ， zhī suǒ sōu jí zhè xiē yí wù ， jiù shì wèi le yán jiū 、 shèn zhì lì yòng zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de lì liàng 。
这至暗星海中另外幸存的文明，之所搜集这些遗物，就是为了研究、甚至利用真仙篆字的力量。
The remaining two were influenced by other yet unknown True Immortal Inscribed Characters.
“ jū rán néng duì zhè lì liàng de chéng dù yǒu le biàn bié de shǒu duàn ……”
“居然能对这力量的程度有了辨别的手段……”
Li Fan noticed the differences. He had personally seen the true forms of "Disorder" and "Hunger," even if they were imitations, giving him a general understanding of their essence. This allowed him to easily absorb the residual enlightenment power from these relics as resources for his own enlightenment.
“ kàn lái zhè lǐ de shí lì bù róng xiǎo qù 。”
“看来这里的实力不容小觑。”
For the other two, it was much more challenging. With only fading remnants, sensing their nature alone was difficult, let alone comprehending their core.
zhè bā jiàn yí wù ， qí zhōng yǒu sān jiàn lái zì 【 luàn 】， liǎng jiàn lái zì 【 jī 】。
这八件遗物，其中有三件来自【乱】，两件来自【饥】。
Utilizing them was hundreds of times less efficient than "Disorder" and "Hunger."
zhì yú shèng xià de liǎng jiàn ， zé shì shòu dào le lìng wài de 、 mù qián shàng bù zhī xiǎo de zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de yǐng xiǎng 。
至于剩下的两件，则是受到了另外的、目前尚不知晓的真仙篆字的影响。
"This is the difference between top-down and bottom-up approaches. Knowing the true essence of True Immortal Inscribed Characters allows one to understand everything from a high vantage point."
ér lǐ fán yě fā xiàn le zhè qí zhōng de bù tóng zhī chù 。
而李凡也发现了这其中的不同之处。
"But starting with no knowledge, like a blind man feeling an elephant... it's as difficult as climbing a mountain!"
tā céng qīn yǎn kàn guò luàn 、 jī ， zhè liǎng gè zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de běn xiàng ， nǎ pà shì bù zhī hé rén suǒ xiě de fǎng zhì pǐn ， dàn zhōng jiū shì duì qí běn yuán yǒu le gè dà zhì de liǎo jiě 。 yīn ér néng hěn shùn lì de jiāng wù dào yí wù shàng de cán cún de lì liàng xī shōu ， huà zuò wù dào de zī liáng 。
他曾亲眼看过乱、饥，这两个真仙篆字的本象，哪怕是不知何人所写的仿制品，但终究是对其本源有了个大致的了解。因而能很顺利的将悟道遗物上的残存的力量吸收，化作悟道的资粮。
Simultaneously, Li Fan pondered.
lìng wài liǎng jiàn de qíng kuàng ， zé dà bù xiāng tóng le 。
另外两件的情况，则大不相同了。
"Not all cultivators have enough opportunities or luck to see the true essence of True Immortal Inscribed Characters."
jǐn jǐn kào zhe nà jí jiāng xiāo sàn de cán cún zhī lì ， lián gǎn yìng qí xìng zhì dōu hěn kùn nán ， gèng bié tí jiē zhe gǎn wù qí běn zhì le 。
仅仅靠着那即将消散的残存之力，连感应其性质都很困难，更别提接着感悟其本质了。
"The Disorder Decree is hidden in the inverted迷域 within white fog; ordinary people rarely encounter it. The Hunger Decree is engraved on the Immortal Vastness! Seeing it means death. If not for having Truly Real, I wouldn't have been able to grasp it."
lì yòng qǐ lái ， bǐ qǐ luàn 、 jī èr zì ， xiào lǜ chà le hé zhǐ wàn bèi ？
利用起来，比起乱、饥二字，效率差了何止万倍？
"Then there's the No Decree, discovered by chance in a golden skull of a shattered world..."
“ zhè jiù shì cóng shàng dào xià ， yǔ cóng xià dào shàng de qū bié 。 zhī dào zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de běn yuán zhēn yì ， jū gāo lín xià 、 yí tòng bǎi tōng 。”
“这就是从上到下，与从下到上的区别。知道真仙篆字的本源真意，居高临下、一通百通。”
Looking at the unknown civilization hidden in the shadows, an idea naturally arose.
“ ér ruò shì cóng yī wú suǒ zhī kāi shǐ ， máng rén mō xiàng 、 zì jǐ màn màn tàn suǒ yán jiū ……”
“而若是从一无所知开始，盲人摸象、自己慢慢探索研究……”
"These true essences are more valuable here than I imagined."
“ nán rú dēng tiān ！ yǐ fán sú zhī lì ， wàng xiǎng tàn jiū zhēn xiān lì liàng ……”
“难如登天！以凡俗之力，妄想探究真仙力量……”
---
tóng shí lǐ fán xīn zhōng ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
同时李凡心中若有所思。
After another thirty days, the ultimate disintegration disc finally broke through the warning mechanism.
“ bìng bú shì suǒ yǒu xiū shì ， dōu néng yǒu zú gòu de jī yuán ， néng gòu yǒu xìng qīn yǎn jiàn dào zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de běn yuán zhēn yì de 。”
“并不是所有修士，都能有足够的机缘，能够有幸亲眼见到真仙篆字的本源真意的。”
To be safe, the Saint Embryo Li Fan didn't directly test it himself. Instead, he used fragments of his consciousness to probe.
“ nà luàn zì jué ， cáng yú bái wù zhōng de fǎn zhé mí yù zhī zhōng ， xún cháng rén yī bèi zi dōu nán yǐ yù dào 。 ér nà jī zì jué ， gèng shì kè yìn zài xiān xū zhī shàng ！ jiàn zhī zé sǐ 。 ruò bú shì wǒ yǒu hái zhēn de huà ， yě gēn běn wú fǎ jiāng qí zhǎng wò 。”
“那乱字诀，藏于白雾中的反折迷域之中，寻常人一辈子都难以遇到。而那饥字诀，更是刻印在仙墟之上！见之则死。若不是我有还真的话，也根本无法将其掌握。”
Over these half a year, while cutting many soul fragments, this civilization's hidden sanctuary seemed to contain some strange power that could repel all kinds of bizarre attacks. His recovery speed was quick as a result.
“ hái yǒu 【 méi 】 zì jué ， yě shì wǒ zài yī pò miè xiǎo shì jiè de jīn sè tóu gǔ zhōng 、 jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià fā xiàn de ……”
“还有【没】字诀，也是我在一破灭小世界的金色头骨中、机缘巧合之下发现的……”
Cutting soul fragments now only caused him slight pain.
lǐ fán kàn zhe yǐn cáng zài àn chù de wèi zhī wén míng ， yí gè niàn tou zì rán ér rán de yǒng xiàn 。
李凡看着隐藏在暗处的未知文明，一个念头自然而然的涌现。
The ultimate disintegration disc proved trustworthy. This time, the relic passed the test and entered the channel interior.
“ suǒ wèi qí huò kě jū ， zhè xiē běn yuán zhēn yì ， zài zhè ge wén míng zhōng de jià zhí 、 kě néng bǐ wǒ xiǎng xiàng zhōng de hái yào gāo 。”
“所谓奇货可居，这些本源真意，在这个文明中的价值、可能比我想象中的还要高。”
Sensing became weaker but still allowed him to detect internal conditions.
……
……
The three-person team continued dragging forward with black ropes through three channel defenses before finally entering a safe area.
yòu sān shí duō tiān hòu ， zhōng mò jiě lí dié zhōng yú jiāng nà jǐng gào chù fā de shǒu duàn pò chú 。
又三十多天后，终末解离碟终于将那警告触发的手段破除。
They eagerly removed their armor, complaining as they did so.
bǎo xiǎn qǐ jiàn ， shèng tāi lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu zhí jiē yǐ shēn shì xiǎn 。
保险起见，圣胎李凡并没有直接以身试险。
"There are fewer useful relics near the仙舟. Found such a small amount this time..."
ér shì yī jiù yòng fēn shén shì tàn 。
而是依旧用分神试探。
"Perhaps we'll have to leave the safety zone next time."
zhè dà bàn nián lái ， suī rán tā qiē gē le bù shǎo fēn hún ， dàn shì zhè wén míng de cáng shēn zhī dì fù jìn 、 sì hū yùn hán zhe mǒu zhǒng qí yì de lì liàng 。
这大半年来，虽然他切割了不少分魂，但是这文明的藏身之地附近、似乎蕴含着某种奇异的力量。
"We've been here for a century? Don't know why we haven't moved yet."
néng gòu jiāng xū kōng zhōng gè zhǒng guài yì qīn xí quán dōu dǐ dǎng ， yīn ér shèng tāi lǐ fán huī fù sù dù yě hěn kuài 。
能够将虚空中各种怪异侵袭全都抵挡，因而圣胎李凡恢复速度也很快。
"It was supposed to change our anchorage location, but recently..."
qiē gē fēn shén ， duì tā ér yán yǐ jīng zhǐ yǒu xiē xǔ tòng kǔ bà le 。
切割分神，对他而言已经只有些许痛苦罢了。
"Hush! Better not discuss it. Wu Xing was locked up for ten years over this matter."
zhōng mò jiě lí dié guǒ rán zhí de xìn rèn 。
终末解离碟果然值得信任。
The three cultivators tactfully avoided the topic.
zhè yī cì ， fēn shén fù zhuó de yí wù chéng gōng tōng guò le jiǎn cè ， jìn rù le tōng dào nèi bù 。
这一次，分神附着的遗物成功通过了检测，进入了通道内部。
With their new findings, they continued deeper into the sanctuary.
gǎn yìng biàn dé ruò le xǔ duō ， dàn miǎn qiǎng hái néng chá jué dào cáng shēn dì nèi bù de qíng kuàng 。
感应变得弱了许多，但勉强还能察觉到藏身地内部的情况。
"仙舟?" Li Fan thought as he heard them speak.
wài chū sōu jí yí wù de sān rén xiǎo duì jì xù yòng hēi shéng tuō zhuāi zhe qián jìn ， yī gòng jīng guò sān gè tōng dào fáng hù de jiǎn cè zhī hòu ， cái zuì zhōng jìn rù dào ān quán dì dài 。
外出搜集遗物的三人小队继续用黑绳拖拽着前进，一共经过三个通道防护的检测之后，才最终进入到安全地带。
After a long, narrow, and dim passage, the view suddenly opened to a picturesque valley.
tā men pò bù jí dài de bǎ shēn shàng de zhuāng jiǎ tuō xià ， lián shēng bào yuàn zhe 。
他们迫不及待的把身上的装甲脱下，连声抱怨着。
An elderly man with white hair held an odd book-like magical artifact, waiting for the three of them.
“ xiān zhōu fù jìn de yǒu yòng yí wù yuè lái yuè shǎo le 。 zhè huí cái zhǎo dào zhè me diǎn ……”
“仙舟附近的有用遗物越来越少了。这回才找到这么点……”
"I'll see this time..." The old man's face was initially smiling but turned grim upon seeing the number of relics behind them.
“ xià yī cì zhí xíng rèn wù ， kǒng pà yào lí kāi ān quán qū le ba 。”
“下一次执行任务，恐怕要离开安全区了吧。”
"Forgive me, Elder. This time, our luck wasn't good," said the oldest-looking cultivator with a bitter smile.
“ tíng liú zài zhè lǐ ， yǐ jīng yǒu bǎi nián le ？ bù zhī dào wèi shén me chí chí méi yǒu dòng shēn 。”
“停留在这里，已经有百年了？不知道为什么迟迟没有动身。”
The old man shook his head and sighed before saying no more.
“ jù shuō běn lái shì yǒu gǎi biàn tíng bó dì diǎn dǎ suàn de ， bù guò qián duàn shí jiān ……”
“据说本来是有改变停泊地点打算的，不过前段时间……”
A beam of light from the book-like artifact enveloped all the relics.
“ xū ， hái shì shǎo tǎo lùn wèi miào 。 wú xīng tā jiù yīn wèi zhè shì ， bèi guān le shí nián jìn bì 。”
“嘘，还是少讨论为妙。吴星他就因为这事，被关了十年禁闭。”
As the light retracted, it seemed to complete the inspection.
sān rén shí fēn shí qù de bì kāi bù tán 。
三人十分识趣的避开不谈。
"Next time, try to make up for this."
dài zhe zhè cì de shōu huò ， jì xù cháo zhe cáng shēn dì shēn chù zǒu qù 。
带着这次的收获，继续朝着藏身地深处走去。
"The state of the仙舟 is clear. If we lose a few items each time, it's fine in the short term. But over time, who will suffer?" The old man snorted coldly.
“ xiān zhōu ？” lǐ fán tīng dào tā men de fā yán ， ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
“仙舟？”李凡听到他们的发言，若有所思。
The older cultivator didn't argue but nodded repeatedly.
jīng guò yī duàn xiá cháng 、 hūn àn de tōng dào zhī hòu ， qián fāng shì yě huò rán kāi lǎng 。
经过一段狭长、昏暗的通道之后，前方视野豁然开朗。
"Take these relics to [Divine Abolition Pavilion]," the old man instructed again.
jìng rán shì lái dào le yī chù shān qīng shuǐ xiù de shān gǔ zhī zhōng 。
竟然是来到了一处山清水秀的山谷之中。
(End of Chapter)
The material of this command flag was unremarkable. In the ocean of relics, it wasn't specially selected for any particular value.
"Could it be that its power has diminished to the point where the side effects have subsided?"
Li Fan's mind stirred as he suddenly understood. Gently caressing the command flag, he sensed a familiar aura.
"Disorder Decree..."
"As time passes, even the True Immortal Inscribed Characters' power reaches its limit."
