qián chéng qí dǎo de shēng yīn ， huí dàng zài dì xià mì shì zhōng 。
虔诚祈祷的声音，回荡在地下密室中。
The reverent prayers echoed through the underground chamber.
wǎn ruò shàng gǔ de gē yáo ， yōu jiǔ shén mì 。
宛若上古的歌谣，悠久神秘。
As if an ancient song, it was long and mysterious.
zhè qún rén zì rán jiù shì yōu zú rén 。
这群人自然就是幽族人。
These people were indeed members of the Shadow Clan.
zài lǐ píng jǐ wèi tú dì de lián shǒu zhī xià ， jī hū jué dà duō shù de yōu zú rén dōu zhuā bǔ dào le dà qǐ xiǎo shì jiè zhōng 。
在李平几位徒弟的联手之下，几乎绝大多数的幽族人都抓捕到了大启小世界中。
Under the combined efforts of Li Fan's disciples, almost all of the Shadow Clan had been captured within the small world of Great启.
lǐ píng shì zhī dào ， yōu àn zhī hǎi bèi hòu de nà ge cún zài ， shì bìng bù jiè yì zì jǐ de xìn tú zài yǒu qí tā xìn yǎng de 。
李平是知道，幽暗之海背后的那个存在，是并不介意自己的信徒再有其他信仰的。
Li Fan knew that the existence behind the Dark Sea did not mind his followers having other beliefs.
yú shì zài wēi bī lì yòu 、 yòu zuì zhōng zài zhěng gè yōu zú rén miàn qián shì fàn le gòng cún xìng shì zhēn shí de zhī hòu ， zhè xiē yōu zú rén hěn kuài jiù shì yìng le zhè zhǒng shēng huó 。
于是在威逼利诱、又最终在整个幽族人面前示范了共存性是真实的之后，这些幽族人很快就适应了这种生活。
So after a show of coexistence and threats, these Shadow Clan members quickly adapted to their new lives. Some even became more fervent in their devotion to the Holy Emperor than to the Dark Sea itself.
shèn zhì yǒu xiē duì shèng huáng de xìn yǎng ， bǐ duì yōu àn zhī hǎi gèng jiā jiān dìng 、 kuáng rè 。
甚至有些对圣皇的信仰，比对幽暗之海更加坚定、狂热。
After all, during times of peril, the Dark Sea had shown no divine miracles, whereas the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor distributed substantial resources regularly.
bì jìng zài wēi nàn miè zú guān tóu ， yōu àn zhī hǎi bìng méi yǒu xiǎn xiàn chū shén me shén jì 。 ér tiān mìng shèng huáng ， kě shì zhēn de měi guò yī duàn shí jiān dū huì jiāng dà liàng wù zī fā fàng gěi zhòng rén de 。
毕竟在危难灭族关头，幽暗之海并没有显现出什么神迹。而天命圣皇，可是真的每过一段时间都会将大量物资发放给众人的。
In the darkness, Li Fan listened to the synchronized chants of the Shadow Clan. Tiny golden source powers began to form within him.
hēi àn zhōng ， tīng zhe yōu zú rén qí qí de yín chàng shēng ， lǐ píng gǎn shòu dào xīng xīng diǎn diǎn de jīn sè yuán lì ， zài zì jǐ tǐ nèi shēng chéng 。
黑暗中，听着幽族人齐齐的吟唱声，李平感受到星星点点的金色源力，在自己体内生成。
"Only a hundred members of the Shadow Clan can generate more faith power than all of Great启's people combined."
“ zhǐ bǎi míng yōu zú rén ， suǒ níng jù chǎn shēng de xìn yǎng lì liàng ， jiù bǐ zhěng gè dà qǐ zi mín jiā qǐ lái dōu yào duō 。”
“只百名幽族人，所凝聚产生的信仰力量，就比整个大启子民加起来都要多。”
"What secrets do they hide on their bodies..."
“ yōu zú rén shēn shàng jiū jìng yǐn cáng zhe shén me mì mì ……”
“幽族人身上究竟隐藏着什么秘密……”
Li Fan had already sent some of the resistant Shadow Clan members' corpses to Senior Yin for research.
lǐ píng yǐ jīng jiāng yī xiē dān kàng fǎn kàng de yōu zú rén shī tǐ sòng wǎng le yīn shàng rén nà biān ， ràng tā bāng máng yán jiū 。
李平已经将一些单抗反抗的幽族人尸体送往了殷上人那边，让他帮忙研究。
"Perfect timing, as his new technique studies have hit a bottleneck. A change in topic might spark unexpected inspiration."
“ zhèng hǎo tā nà biān duì xīn xīn fǎ de yán jiū yě yǐ jīng xiàn rù píng jǐng ， huàn gè yán jiū kè tí ， shuō bù dìng huì yǒu yì wài de líng gǎn huǒ huā pèng zhuàng 。”
“正好他那边对新新法的研究也已经陷入瓶颈，换个研究课题，说不定会有意外的灵感火花碰撞。”
Of course, Li Fan wasn't particularly interested in the true reason behind the Shadow Clan's unique constitution. The cause didn't matter; what mattered was that it could be used.
dāng rán ， duì yú yōu zú tè shū tǐ zhì bèi hòu zhēn zhèng de yuán yīn ， lǐ píng bìng bú shì tè bié zài yì 。
当然，对于幽族特殊体质背后真正的原因，李平并不是特别在意。
Li Fan moved to another sealed space near the prayer area.
shén me chéng yīn wú suǒ wèi ， zhǐ yào néng wèi tā suǒ yòng jiù xíng 。
什么成因无所谓，只要能为他所用就行。
"Xuan Ba, how are your studies? Has the transplanted flesh promoted the fertility of the Shadow Clan?"
shēn xíng shǎn dòng ， lǐ píng lái dào cǐ chù qí dǎo kōng jiān fù jìn 、 lìng wài de fēng bì zhī suǒ 。
身形闪动，李平来到此处祈祷空间附近、另外的封闭之所。
Shen Xuanba, engrossed in his work and staring ahead, quickly turned his attention when he sensed his master's presence.
“ xuán bà ， yán jiū de rú hé ？ nà yí zhí de xuè ròu ， shì fǒu néng cù jìn yōu zú rén de shēng yù ？”
“玄霸，研究的如何？那移植的血肉，是否能促进幽族人的生育？”
With a respectful bow, he reported: "After numerous experiments, I've found the optimal combination of beast flesh."
zhèng jù jīng huì shén 、 mù shì qián fāng kàn zhe shén me de wáng xuán bà ， tīng dào shī zūn lái lín ， lián máng shōu huí mù guāng 。
正聚精会神、目视前方看着什么的王玄霸，听到师尊来临，连忙收回目光。
"I named it 'Life Essence Embryo.'"
gōng jìng xíng le yī lǐ ， ér hòu huì bào dào ：“ jīng guò shù cì shí yàn ， wǒ yǐ jīng zhǎo dào le zuì jiā de yì shòu xuè ròu zǔ hé 。”
恭敬行了一礼，而后汇报道：“经过数次实验，我已经找到了最佳的异兽血肉组合。”
"Given sufficient male and female essence, it can rapidly nurture many young ones at an alarming rate."
“ wǒ jiāng qí mìng míng wèi 【 shēng mìng yuán tāi 】”
“我将其命名为【生命元胎】”
"But..."
“ zhǐ xū yào chōng zú de nán nǚ yuán jīng ， tā jiù néng yǐ yī zhǒng jí wéi kǒng bù de sù dù péi yù chū dà liàng yòu tǐ 。”
“只需要充足的男女元精，它就能以一种极为恐怖的速度培育出大量幼体。”
"Since they're not born within a mother's body, these young ones are inherently weak. Their expected lifespan might be short," Shen Xuanba said cautiously.
“ dàn ……”
“但……”
Unlike the sturdy youth he used to be, Shen Xuanba now had a slender build.
“ bì jìng bú shì mǔ tǐ zhōng yùn yù ， zhè xiē yòu tǐ xiān tiān bù zú ， shēng xià lái jí wéi chán ruò bù shuō 、 yù qī shòu mìng kǒng pà yě bú huì tài zhǎng 。” wáng xuán bà shí fēn jǐn shèn de shuō dào 。
“毕竟不是母体中孕育，这些幼体先天不足，生下来极为孱弱不说、预期寿命恐怕也不会太长。”王玄霸十分谨慎的说道。
Under Li Fan's meticulous guidance and by consuming much beast flesh, he had mastered numerous abilities and surpassed his master in understanding beasts.
gēn zhī qián nà ge hān hòu de 、 qiáng zhuàng de shào nián mú yàng bù tóng ， xiàn zài de wáng xuán bà ， shēn cái shòu xuē 。
跟之前那个憨厚的、强壮的少年模样不同，现在的王玄霸，身材瘦削。
Upon learning that his master was troubled by the low fertility rate of the Shadow Clan, he volunteered to help. And so, he created something as groundbreaking as 'Life Essence Embryo.'
tā shòu dào lǐ píng de xī xīn jiào dǎo ， ér hòu yòu yǐ shēn tūn shì le zhū duō de yì shòu xuè ròu 、 zhǎng wò le dà liàng yì shòu de néng lì 。 rú jīn duì yú yì shòu de rèn zhī shuǐ zhǔn ， shèn zhì hái fǎn chāo guò le lǐ píng 。
他受到李平的悉心教导，而后又以身吞噬了诸多的异兽血肉、掌握了大量异兽的能力。如今对于异兽的认知水准，甚至还反超过了李平。
Composed entirely of writhing pink beast flesh, it contained numerous chambers connected to its core via pipes. This allowed it to both supply energy for nurturing and absorb the characteristics of the many young ones it produced.
zài dé zhī shī zūn wèi yōu zú rén de dī xià shēng yù lǜ gǎn dào fán nǎo zhī hòu ， zì gào fèn yǒng ， yào wèi shī zūn fēn yōu 。
在得知师尊为幽族人的低下生育率感到烦恼之后，自告奋勇，要为师尊分忧。
"This is a win-win process; each new young one becomes smarter and stronger."
yú shì jìng rán chuàng zào chū le 【 shēng mìng yuán tāi 】 zhè me gè pǒ yǒu xiē jīng shì hài sú de wán yì 。
于是竟然创造出了【生命元胎】这么个颇有些惊世骇俗的玩意。
"While this progress is small, quantity can accumulate over time, achieving the desired transformation within a set period."
wán quán yóu fěn hóng sè de rú dòng yì shòu xuè ròu gòu chéng ， qí nèi bù shì yī jiān jiān fēng bì de qiāng shì 。
完全由粉红色的蠕动异兽血肉构成，其内部是一间间封闭的腔室。
"If my prediction is correct, the Life Essence Embryo might eventually be able to create life without male or female essence. As long as there's enough energy," Shen Xuanba said confidently.
wú shù gēn guǎn dào ， jiāng zhè xiē qiāng shì yú yuán tāi běn tǐ lián jiē 。
无数根管道，将这些腔室于元胎本体连接。
Li Fan's gaze pierced through the darkness and landed on the giant "meat ball" that continued to pulse like a living entity.
jiě jué qí zhōng yùn yù zi tǐ gōng néng de tóng shí ， yě ràng shēng mìng yuán tāi néng gòu xī shōu tā suǒ péi yù de zhè xiē dà liàng zi tǐ de tè xìng 。
解决其中孕育子体供能的同时，也让生命元胎能够吸收它所培育的这些大量子体的特性。
"I only need them to do what I ask in numbers; their lifespan..."
“ zhè shì yí gè shuāng yíng de guò chéng ， měi péi yù chū yí gè xīn de zi tǐ ， tā jiù huì biàn dé yuè fā cōng huì 、 qiáng dà 。”
“这是一个双赢的过程，每培育出一个新的子体，它就会变得越发聪慧、强大。”
"... is but a cycle."
“ suī rán zhè ge jìn bù guò chéng hěn wēi xiǎo ， dàn tā kě yǐ yòng liàng qù duī jī 、 cóng ér shí xiàn yù qī shí jiān zhī nèi de tuì biàn 。”
“虽然这个进步过程很微小，但它可以用量去堆积、从而实现预期时间之内的蜕变。”
The Holy Emperor's words were cold, and Shen Xuanba showed no surprise. In his eyes, headless Shadow Clan members were not human at all—more akin to beasts.
“ rú guǒ wǒ yù cè de méi cuò ， shēng mìng yuán tāi jīn hòu hěn kě néng lián nán nǚ yuán jīng hòu bù zài xū yào 、 jiù néng zì jǐ chuàng zào shēng mìng 。 zhǐ yào néng liàng zú gòu de huà 。”
“如果我预测的没错，生命元胎今后很可能连男女元精后不再需要、就能自己创造生命。只要能量足够的话。”
"You must keep this strictly confidential, even from your fellow disciples," Li Fan said again.
tán lùn qǐ yì shòu lái ， jí biàn shì zài zì jǐ de lǎo shī miàn qián ， wáng xuán bà yǔ qì zhōng yě shì chōng mǎn le zì xìn 。
谈论起异兽来，即便是在自己的老师面前，王玄霸语气中也是充满了自信。
"Disciple understands."
lǐ píng de mù guāng chuān pò hēi àn ， kàn xiàng le yuǎn chù nà kuài bù tíng tiào dòng 、 fǎng fú zhèng zài hū xī de jù dà “ ròu tuán ”。
李平的目光穿破黑暗，看向了远处那块不停跳动、仿佛正在呼吸的巨大“肉团”。
Shen Xuanba replied solemnly.
“ wǒ zhǐ xū yào tā men néng tóng shí wèi wǒ zuò shì de shù liàng ， zhì yú shòu mìng ……”
“我只需要他们能同时为我做事的数量，至于寿命……”
After Li Fan left, he resumed his research work. He preferred the simplicity of such tasks over dealing with external complexities.
“ sǐ le zài zào biàn shì 。”
“死了再造便是。”
In just a few years, the once-mighty youth at Disengagement Mountain had undergone such significant changes.
shèng huáng huà zhōng mǎn shì bīng lěng ， wáng xuán bà tīng wén hòu ， xīn zhōng yě méi yǒu shén me yì yàng 。
圣皇话中满是冰冷，王玄霸听闻后，心中也没有什么异样。
However, among Li Fan's disciples, Shen Xuanba was not the most transformed.
bì jìng zài tā yǎn lǐ ， zhè méi yǒu tóu lú de yōu zú ， qí shí gēn nà xiē yì shòu bìng méi yǒu shén me qū bié 、 gēn běn suàn bù shàng shì rén lèi 。
毕竟在他眼里，这没有头颅的幽族，其实跟那些异兽并没有什么区别、根本算不上是人类。
Shen Xuanba still showed remnants of his former self.
“ cǐ dì zhū shì ， nǐ xū yào yán gé bǎo mì 。 nǎ pà duì nǐ de jǐ gè shī xiōng shī dì ， yě shì rú cǐ 。” lǐ píng zài dù shuō dào 。
“此地诸事，你需要严格保密。哪怕对你的几个师兄师弟，也是如此。”李平再度说道。
Completely different, E Shangtian, Li Fan's fifth disciple, had changed entirely.
“ dì zǐ míng bái 。”
“弟子明白。”
Following his father to Great启 and being taken in by Li Fan as a personal disciple, he transformed from a silent and cautious youth into an arrogant and decisive one.
wáng xuán bà chén shēng dào 。
王玄霸沉声道。
Despite being the youngest among disciples, his true strength was unmatched. Outside of Li Fan himself, no one could match him in combat.
zài lǐ píng lí kāi zhī hòu ， tā yòu kāi shǐ jì xù qǐ le zì jǐ de yán jiū gōng zuò 。
在李平离开之后，他又开始继续起了自己的研究工作。
Even without using secret techniques, subduing E Shangtian would not be easy for Li Fan.
gēn chǔ lǐ wài jiè nà xiē fán zá de zhǒng zhǒng xiāng bǐ ， tā hái shì gèng xǐ huān zhè xiē chún cuì 、 jiǎn dān de shì 。
跟处理外界那些繁杂的种种相比，他还是更喜欢这些纯粹、简单的事。
Apart from the two unique items he possessed—Kun乾 Bone Hand and Ten Thousand Deaths Ledger—E Shangtian had recently caught Seven-Colored Divine Light from a fishing pool under his master's guidance.
bù guò shù nián shí guāng ， xī rì jiě lí shān xià de kuí wú shào nián ， rén shēng guǐ jì jiù yǐ jīng fā shēng le rú cǐ jù dà de biàn huà 。
不过数年时光，昔日解离山下的魁梧少年，人生轨迹就已经发生了如此巨大的变化。
With this divine light protecting him, combined with the Kun乾 Bone Hand’s unparalleled survival skills, E Shangtian's survival abilities were even stronger than most cultivators in Xuanhuang.
rán ér zài lǐ píng de zhū wèi dì zǐ zhōng ， wáng xuán bà hái bú shì gǎi biàn zuì dà de 。
然而在李平的诸位弟子中，王玄霸还不是改变最大的。
After several successful suppressions of small worlds, he became increasingly arrogant.
wáng xuán bà xíng shì yī xī hái néng kàn dào dāng nián de yǐng zi 。
王玄霸行事依稀还能看到当年的影子。
Fortunately, his father and Li Fan kept him in check. He hadn't done anything out of line.
qián hòu jiǒng yì ， wán quán huàn le gè rén de ， zé shì lǐ píng de wǔ dì zǐ 、 ōu shàng tiān 。
前后迥异，完全换了个人的，则是李平的五弟子、欧尚天。
During their joint operation to capture Shadow Clan members, E Shangtian took an interest in Shen Xuanba's mysterious beast abilities.
gēn suí fù qīn lái dào dà qǐ ， bìng bèi lǐ píng shōu wèi qīn chuán zhī hòu ， tā cóng zhī qián de chén mò guǎ yán 、 jǐng tì bù zì xìn ， biàn chéng le rú jīn yì qì shào nián 。
跟随父亲来到大启，并被李平收为亲传之后，他从之前的沉默寡言、警惕不自信，变成了如今意气少年。
He requested the cultivation method for 'Evolutionary Furnace Technique' and was now diligently practicing it.
xíng shì guǒ jué ， pì nì wàn wù 。
行事果决，睥睨万物。
Li Fan wasn't worried about E Shangtian losing control. He would intervene before any signs appeared.
suī rán nián líng zài zhū dì zǐ zhōng zuì xiǎo ， dàn lùn zhēn zhèng shí lì ， què shì guān jué zhòng rén 。
虽然年龄在诸弟子中最小，但论真正实力，却是冠绝众人。
The pure golden source powers from the Shadow Clan had already been subtly injected into key figures in Great启 by Li Fan.
zhěng gè dà qǐ ， chú le lǐ píng zhī wài ， kǒng pà zài yě méi yǒu shuí shì tā de duì shǒu 。
整个大启，除了李平之外，恐怕再也没有谁是他的对手。
These nearly true-sage-level powers were beyond the detection of ordinary geniuses, only known to Elder Flower from the ancient cultivation world.
shèn zhì jiù suàn lǐ píng chū miàn ， zài bù dòng yòng yī xiē mì fǎ shén tōng de qián tí xià ， xiǎng yào zhì fú ōu shàng tiān yě bú shì yī jiàn yì shì 。
甚至就算李平出面，在不动用一些秘法神通的前提下，想要制服欧尚天也不是一件易事。
"Once ensnared, they must work hard."
chú le ōu shàng tiān yǔ shēn jù lái de liǎng jiàn qí wù ， kūn qián gǔ shǒu yǐ jí wàn sǐ bù zhī wài 。
除了欧尚天与身俱来的两件奇物，坤乾骨手以及万死簿之外。
"All gifts come with a price."
qián bù jiǔ ōu shàng tiān hái yú diào yú chí zhōng ， zài lǐ píng de zhǐ yǐn xià ， diào shàng le qī cǎi shén guāng 。
前不久欧尚天还于钓鱼池中，在李平的指引下，钓上了七彩神光。
With pure golden source powers as his leverage, he could now begin planning the invasion of Xuanhuang.
The reverent prayers echoed through the underground chamber.
As if an ancient song, it was long and mysterious.
These people were indeed members of the Shadow Clan.
Under the combined efforts of Li Fan's disciples, almost all of the Shadow Clan had been captured within the small world of Great启.
