duō nián yǐ qián , zài zuì chū zhī dào dù è zōng nà tào lǐ lùn de shí hòu , yī shù hé dà duō shù tài yǎn zōng xiū shì yī yàng , dōu shì jué duì de chī zhī yǐ bí 。
多年以前,在最初知道渡厄宗那套理论的时候,伊术和大多数太衍宗修士一样,都是绝对的嗤之以鼻。
Many years ago, when Yi Shu first learned about the theories of the Duyue Sect, he was just like most Taiyin Sect cultivators—completely dismissive.
jié nàn lái lín , bù qù zhǔ dòng xún zhǎo yìng duì zhī fǎ , ér shì xuǎn zé dāng suō tóu wū guī 、 bǎ xī wàng jì tuō zài shén me xū wú piāo miǎo de yīng jié zhī rén shàng 。 zhè wán quán shì méi yǒu gēn jù 、 wú fǎ yù cè de biàn shù 。
劫难来临,不去主动寻找应对之法,而是选择当缩头乌龟、把希望寄托在什么虚无缥缈的应劫之人上。这完全是没有根据、无法预测的变数。
When calamities struck, instead of actively seeking ways to counter them, they chose to hide andentrust their hopes on some vague savior. This was an unfounded, unpredictable variable.
rán ér , tóng wèi xiān dào shí zōng 、 shī chéng tiān dōu dà fǎ shī , dù è zōng de chuán chéng zài tài gǔ zhī shí jiù yǐ jīng chū xiàn 。 néng gòu cháng cún zhè me duō nián , shuō míng qí dí què shì yǒu qí tè shū dào lǐ de 。
然而,同为仙道十宗、师承天都大法师,渡厄宗的传承在太古之时就已经出现。能够长存这么多年,说明其的确是有其特殊道理的。
However, as one of the Ten Immortal Dao sects, with a lineage tracing back to ancient times under the tutelage of the Great Master Taidou, Duyue Sect's survival for so long suggested that there must be something special about it.
zhǐ shì wài rén wú fǎ kuī jiàn dù è zōng xuán miào 。
只是外人无法窥见渡厄宗玄妙。
Yet outsiders could not fathom its mysteries.
jīn rì , dāng yī shù lái dào zhè fǎng fú cóng shí tou fèng lǐ tū rán bèng chū lái de shèng cháo dà qǐ , jiàn dào zhū duō néng gòu pì měi wàn xiān méng zuì dǐng jiān shuǐ píng de jì shù , yǐ jí nà gēn dāng jīn xiū xíng zhī fǎ wán quán bù tóng 、 néng chè dǐ diān fù chuán fǎ tiān zūn zài xuán huáng jiè gēn jī de xīn fǎ zhī hòu 。
今日,当伊术来到这仿佛从石头缝里突然蹦出来的圣朝大启,见到诸多能够媲美万仙盟最顶尖水平的技术,以及那跟当今修行之法完全不同、能彻底颠覆传法天尊在玄黄界根基的新法之后。
Today, when Yi Shu arrived at this suddenly emerging Holy Dynasty Daqi and saw technologies rivaling the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, as well as a new method completely different from current cultivation techniques that could potentially upend the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection's foundation, he couldn't help but recall Duyue Sect’s words from long ago.
yī shù nǎo hǎi zhōng shùn jiān bù yóu de fú xiàn chū dāng nián dù è zōng de yī fān huà 。
伊术脑海中瞬间不由得浮现出当年渡厄宗的一番话。
Back then, at the onset of great calamities, the core leaders of the Ten Immortal Dao sects gathered to discuss potential strategies.
dāng shí , dà jié chū xiǎn 。 xiān dào shí zōng hé xīn qí jù yī táng , shāng tǎo kě néng de duì cè 。
当时,大劫初显。仙道十宗核心齐聚一堂,商讨可能的对策。
Each sect offered their own opinions, but Duyue Sect was notably pessimistic. "Ladies and gentlemen, what we face is inescapable fate. If one can avoid it by struggling, then what do you call a calamity?" said Lu Chenghang, the head of Duyue Sect, with an indifferent demeanor.
gè zōng jǐn shū jǐ jiàn , wéi dú dù è zōng tài dù shí fēn xiāo jí 。
各宗尽抒己见,唯独渡厄宗态度十分消极。
"Is this why your sect places those so-called [Worldly Eye] everywhere?"
“ zhū wèi , suǒ wèi zài jié nán táo 。 ruò shì néng gòu tōng guò yī fān zhēng zhá 、 jiù néng bì miǎn , nà yòu jiào shén me jié nàn ne ?” dù è zōng zōng zhǔ , lù chéng héng yǎn guān bí bí guān xīn 、 yī fù shì bù guān jǐ de yàng zi 。
“诸位,所谓在劫难逃。若是能够通过一番挣扎、就能避免,那又叫什么劫难呢?”渡厄宗宗主,陆承衡眼观鼻鼻观心、一副事不关己的样子。
The most irritable ruler of the Indefinite Prison, Xiahou Yan, responded angrily. "Xiahou, you don't understand. This is to wait for the appearance of the [Xuanhuang Duyue Person], a necessary means," Lu Chenghang said calmly.
“ zhè jiù shì nǐ men dù è zōng , dào chù fàng zhì nà shén me 【 guān shì shén yǎn 】 de lǐ yóu ?”
“这就是你们渡厄宗,到处放置那什么【观世神眼】的理由?”
"Rubbish! In the face of calamities, all beings perish. When everyone dies, where will this savior come from?" Xiahou was on the verge of cursing.
pí qì zuì wèi bào zào de wú dìng yù zhī zhǔ 、 xià hóu yǎn , miàn sè bù shàn 、 dāng chǎng huí duì 。
脾气最为暴躁的无定狱之主、夏侯衍,面色不善、当场回怼。
"Do you doubt the Great Master's lineage?" Lu Chenghang silenced Xiahou with just one sentence.
“ xià hóu , nǐ bù dǒng 。 zhè shì wèi le děng dài 【 xuán huáng dù è rén 】 chū xiàn , suǒ bì xū de shǒu duàn 。” lù chéng héng dàn dàn dì shuō dào 。
“夏侯,你不懂。这是为了等待【玄黄渡厄人】出现,所必须的手段。”陆承衡淡淡地说道。
"There are still us," Lu Chenghang smiled and said meaningfully, "Xuanhuang World is not easily destroyed. If there’s a cultivation realm that can survive until the end among this star sea, it must be ours."
“ gǒu pì de xuán huáng dù è rén , jié nàn miàn qián 、 zhòng shēng jù miè 。 rén sǐ guāng le , zhè jiù shì zhǔ yòu néng cóng nǎ bèng chū lái ?” xià hóu jī hū yào pò kǒu dà mà 。
“狗屁的玄黄渡厄人,劫难面前、众生俱灭。人死光了,这救世主又能从哪蹦出来?”夏侯几乎要破口大骂。
The leaders of the Ten Immortal Dao sects remained silent in response to his words.
“ nǐ shì zài zhì yí dà fǎ shī de chuán chéng me ?” lù chéng héng zhǐ yī jù huà , jiù jiāng xià hóu yǎn shuō de yǎ kǒu wú yán 。
“你是在质疑大法师的传承么?”陆承衡只一句话,就将夏侯衍说的哑口无言。
After a brief silence, perhaps to soothe everyone, Lu Chenghang briefly explained, "The theory of Duyue is not baseless. The cycle of life and death is part of the natural order. Even the Great Calamity of the Immortal Realm might be within the true immortals' foresight."
“ zhè bú shì hái yǒu nǐ men me 。” lù chéng héng xiào le xiào , ér hòu yì wèi shēn cháng de shuō le yī jù ,“ xuán huáng jiè , kě bú shì nà me róng yì bèi huǐ de 。 rú guǒ shuō , zhè piàn xīng hǎi zhōng yǒu nǎ ge xiū xiān jiè néng gǒu huó dào zuì hòu , nà me yí dìng jiù shì wǒ men xuán huáng 。”
“这不是还有伱们么。”陆承衡笑了笑,而后意味深长的说了一句,“玄黄界,可不是那么容易被毁的。如果说,这片星海中有哪个修仙界能苟活到最后,那么一定就是我们玄黄。”
"Everyone is in a state of constant fear. Do you see any signs of disturbance from the Great Master? Is there even a hint of movement?"
shí zōng lǐng xiù wén yán , jù shì méi yǒu fǎn bó 。
十宗领袖闻言,俱是没有反驳。
The silent leader of Taiyin Sect, Xuanji, finally spoke up: "The Great Master's cultivation has reached such heights that he can walk on the ground even within the Immortal Wasteland. He doesn't care about the disasters that threaten Xuanhuang World. We cannot. Brother Lu, I won’t stop you from withdrawing into seclusion, but you must not completely ignore the calamity."
duǎn zàn de chén mò zhī hòu , huò xǔ shì wèi le ān fǔ zhòng rén , lù chéng héng jiǎn duǎn de jiě shì qǐ lái :“ dù è zhī shuō , bìng fēi wú jī zhī tán 。 liàng jié 、 shēng miè , běn jiù shì tiān dì xún huán de yī bù fèn 。 shèn zhì xiān jiè dà jié , yě wèi bì bù zài zhēn xiān men de yù liào zhī zhōng 。”
短暂的沉默之后,或许是为了安抚众人,陆承衡简短的解释起来:“渡厄之说,并非无稽之谈。量劫、生灭,本就是天地循环的一部分。甚至仙界大劫,也未必不在真仙们的预料之中。”
With everyone's eyes fixed on him, Lu Chenghang finally nodded and made a compromise.
“ nǐ men dōu huáng huáng bù kě zhōng rì , qiě kàn dà fǎ shī rú hé ? tā kě yǒu yī sī de chù dòng ?”
“你们都惶惶不可终日,且看大法师如何?祂可有一丝的触动?”
However, his last sentence left everyone speechless once again.
yì zhí bǎo chí chén mò de tài shàng zōng kuí shǒu 、 xuán jí , cǐ kè zhōng yú kāi kǒu :“ dà fǎ shī gōng cān zào huà , jiù suàn zài xiān xū zhōng yě néng rú lǚ píng dì 。 dǎo zhì xuán huáng jiè huǐ miè de zāi huò , tā gēn běn bù zài hū 。 wǒ men bù xíng 。 lù xiōng , nǐ men xuǎn zé bì shì 、 wǒ yě bú huì zǔ lán 。 dàn yìng duì jié nàn , nǐ men bù néng wán quán yī fēn lì bù chū 。”
一直保持沉默的太上宗魁首、玄极,此刻终于开口:“大法师功参造化,就算在仙墟中也能如履平地。导致玄黄界毁灭的灾祸,祂根本不在乎。我们不行。陆兄,你们选择避世、我也不会阻拦。但应对劫难,你们不能完全一分力不出。”
"Eventually, you'll know we were right."
kàn zhe zhòng rén qí zhì de mù guāng , lù chéng héng zuì zhōng hái shì diǎn tóu 、 zuò chū le tuǒ xié 。
看着众人齐至的目光,陆承衡最终还是点头、做出了妥协。
Across thousands of years, Taiyin Sect’s collective consciousness, now residing within Yi Shu’s body, suddenly recalled Lu Chenghang's words.
bù guò lù chéng héng zuì hòu yī jù huà , ràng zài chǎng suǒ yǒu rén zài dù chén mò 。
不过陆承衡最后一句话,让在场所有人再度沉默。
After a shallow understanding of the principle behind "using oneself to establish the foundation," the mother Daoist stone integrated this variable into Xuanhuang World's future projection.
“ zǒng yǒu yī tiān , nǐ men jiù zhī dào wǒ men dù è zōng shì duì de 。”
“总有一天,你们就知道我们渡厄宗是对的。”
The originally clear future became as hazy as if struck by a chaotic storm. Even with the mother stone’s extraordinary computational power, it was momentarily lost in confusion.
cǐ kè , kuà yuè shù qiān nián de shí guāng , tài yǎn zōng jí tǐ yì shí 、 yī shù shēn qū , huò rán yòu xiǎng qǐ dāng chū lù chéng héng de zhè jù huà 。
此刻,跨越数千年的时光,太衍宗集体意识、伊术身躯,霍然又想起当初陆承衡的这句话。
Taiyin Sect had also attempted to project new methods that could overthrow the Transmission System.
zài cū qiǎn de liǎo jiě le 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 de yuán lǐ zhī hòu , huà dào shí mǔ biàn jiāng zhè yī biàn liàng dài rù dào xuán huáng jiè wèi lái de tuī yǎn zhī zhōng 。
在粗浅的了解了【以我筑基】的原理之后,化道石母便将这一变量带入到玄黄界未来的推衍之中。
But…
yuán běn qīng xī de wèi lái , wǎn rú zāo yù le yī cháng hùn dùn fēng bào , biàn dé mó hú bù qīng 。
原本清晰的未来,宛如遭遇了一场混沌风暴,变得模糊不清。
Creating something out of nothing is not the same as projecting based on existing data.
jiù suàn yǐ shí mǔ rú jīn kān chēng shén yì de suàn lì , yī shí jiān yě biàn dé yǒu xiē mí máng 。
就算以石母如今堪称神异的算力,一时间也变得有些迷茫。
The mother Daoist stone only determined that such a possibility existed but with very low probability. Even lower than the chance of the Transmission System surviving an attack from the Eternally Living Realm.
tài yǎn zōng qí shí yě céng jīng shì tú tuī yǎn guò , néng gòu diān fù chuán fǎ tǐ xì de xīn xīn fǎ 。
太衍宗其实也曾经试图推衍过,能够颠覆传法体系的新新法。
Apart from the sheer difficulty of creating new methods, more importantly, was the pervasive influence of the Transmission System on Xuanhuang World.
dàn ……
但……
Just as cultivators gradually forgot about the calamities in Xuanhuang World and ignored its ongoing geological changes over thousands of years.
wú zhōng shēng yǒu de chuàng zào , yǔ gēn jù xiàn yǒu shù jù jìn xíng de wèi lái tuī yǎn , bìng bú shì yī huí shì 。
无中生有的创造,与根据现有数据进行的未来推衍,并不是一回事。
Projecting a new method wasn't just an extreme display of creativity; it was also a struggle against the Transmission System's influence.
huà dào shí mǔ , zhǐ pàn duàn chū dí què yǒu zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng 。 bù guò gài lǜ tài xiǎo le 。
化道石母,只判断出的确有这种可能性。不过概率太小了。
Thus, with the clear understanding that the current Great Master of Transmission had such immense power, the probability of a new method emerging naturally approached zero in the mother Daoist stone’s projection.
shèn zhì bǐ qǐ dāng chū , chuán fǎ zài cháng shēng jìng wéi gōng xià huó mìng de gài lǜ hái yào xiǎo 。
甚至比起当初,传法在长生境围攻下活命的概率还要小。
But something far beyond the scope of its projections happened.
chú le xiǎng yào chuàng zào chū xīn xīn fǎ běn shēn de nán dù zhī wài , gèng zhòng yào de shì , chuán fǎ duì yú xuán huáng jiè de 、 wú suǒ bù zài de yǐng xiǎng 。
除了想要创造出新新法本身的难度之外,更重要的是,传法对于玄黄界的、无所不在的影响。
In a corner of Xuanhuang World, unknown to anyone, a newly born force had already quietly emerged and developed into the Golden Core stage!
jiù xiàng xiū shì huì zhú jiàn dàn wàng xuán huáng jiè zāi è 、 wú xiàn hū lüè xuán huáng jiè shù qiān nián lái zhèng zài fā shēng de dì xíng biàn huà yī yàng 。
就像修士会逐渐淡忘玄黄界灾厄、无限忽略玄黄界数千年来正在发生的地形变化一样。
It was truly shocking, causing the mother Daoist stone's projection to falter slightly.
tuī yǎn xīn xīn fǎ , bù jǐn jǐn shì zì shēn chuàng zào lì de jí zhì tǐ xiàn 。
推衍新新法,不仅仅是自身创造力的极致体现。
Because based on all known factors, there was no explanation for this time point.
gèng shì yǔ chuán fǎ yǐng xiǎng de jué lì 。
更是与传法影响的角力。
Only by invoking the Xuanhuang Duyue Person outside of the variables could it be explained.
yú shì , zài shí fēn qīng chǔ chuán fǎ tiān zūn rú jīn shì hé děng shí lì de huà dào shí mǔ de tuī yǎn zhōng , xīn xīn fǎ néng gòu dàn shēng de gài lǜ zì rán jiù wú xiàn qū jìn yú líng le 。
于是,在十分清楚传法天尊如今是何等实力的化道石母的推衍中,新新法能够诞生的概率自然就无限趋近于零了。
The Ten Immortal Dao sects had also privately discussed the existence of the Xuanhuang Duyue Person.
dàn , yuǎn yuǎn chāo chū tuī yǎn kě néng xìng zhī wài de shì qíng , què piān piān jiù zhè me fā shēng le 。
但,远远超出推衍可能性之外的事情,却偏偏就这么发生了。
They concluded that if such a person existed, they would either come from outside Xuanhuang World or be a reincarnation of some powerful individual.
xuán huáng jiè yóu lí xū kōng , shàng qiě wú rén zhī xiǎo de jiǎo luò lǐ , yí gè zuì jìn cái dàn shēng de shì lì zhōng 。
玄黄界游离虚空,尚且无人知晓的角落里,一个最近才诞生的势力中。
A local cultivator rising to challenge the heavens alone was impossible—no matter how talented, it couldn't happen in an environment where the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection had already created a soil that could not resist.
xīn xīn fǎ bù jǐn yǐ jīng qiǎo rán chū xiàn , shèn zhì yǐ jīng fā zhǎn dào le jīn dān jiē duàn !
新新法不仅已经悄然出现,甚至已经发展到了金丹阶段!
"Who is this faceless Holy Emperor Daqi?"
dàng zhēn rú shí pò tiān jīng bān , ràng huà dào shí mǔ de tuī yǎn dōu yǒu le sī sī de kǎ dùn 。
当真如石破天惊般,让化道石母的推衍都有了丝丝的卡顿。
Now, Yi Shu—or rather, Taiyin Sect—had completely abandoned any contempt. He viewed the Holy Dynasty Daqi as equal, if not higher than their own status, and seriously considered forming an alliance with it.
yīn wèi gēn jù mù qián suǒ yǒu yǐ zhī de yīn sù , dōu wú fǎ zhǎo chū zhè ge shí jiān diǎn 、 xīn xīn fǎ néng gòu dàn shēng de yuán yīn 。
因为根据目前所有已知的因素,都无法找出这个时间点、新新法能够诞生的原因。
As one of the former rulers of Xuanhuang World, now confined to the small world of Taixuan due to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's expansion, Taiyin Sect could not hide its resentment. Even though they no longer needed territory or resources, this loss still lingered in their collective consciousness like a nightmare.
wéi yǒu yòng cháng lǐ zhī wài de , bù zài biàn shù zhōng de xuán huáng dù è rén lái jiě shì 。
唯有用常理之外的,不在变数中的玄黄渡厄人来解释。
"Though the ancient paths and Taiyi sects once resisted the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance on the surface, they were already compromised and aligned with the Transmission System's hounds."
shí zōng sī xià lǐ , yě céng jīng duì xuán huáng dù è rén jìn xíng guò yī xiē tǎo lùn 。
十宗私下里,也曾经对玄黄渡厄人进行过一些讨论。
"But just as we are, they likely haven't fully submitted. They just need an opportunity."
dé chū le jìn hū tǒng yī de jié lùn : rú guǒ zhēn yǒu zhè suǒ wèi de dù è rén cún zài , yào me shì lái zì xuán huáng jiè wài 、 yào me shì mǒu wèi qiáng zhě zhuǎn shì 。
得出了近乎统一的结论:如果真有这所谓的渡厄人存在,要么是来自玄黄界外、要么是某位强者转世。
The emergence of Holy Dynasty Daqi, especially this new method, gave Taiyin Sect a glimmer of hope.
dān píng yì jǐ zhī lì chéng zhǎng qǐ lái de běn tǔ xiū shì , xiǎng yào lì wǎn tiān qīng tā ……
单凭一己之力成长起来的本土修士,想要力挽天倾塌……
However, being one of the sects that survived ancient calamities, any decision regarding their fate was made with great caution.
gēn běn bù kě néng 。
根本不可能。
To be continued...
nǎ pà zài zěn me tiān cái , yě bù xíng 。
哪怕再怎么天才,也不行。
