在星海中漂泊万年,即便没有过文明断层,玄仙舟的功法理论水平却也根本没有什么进步。
Drifting through the star sea for ten thousand years, even without a cultural gap, the theoretical level of the Xuanxian Boat's cultivation methods had barely progressed at all.
suǒ jiàn zhū jiè jǐn jiē pò miè 、 wéi yǒu gè zhǒng huǐ miè xìng de cán cún zhēn xiān zhuàn zì zhī lì zài xīng hǎi zhōng huí dàng 。 suǒ wèi kào shān chī shān kào shuǐ chī shuǐ , xuán xiān zhōu yú shì jiāng wèi lái quán dōu jì tuō zài le duì zhè zhǒng wěi lì de yán jiū shàng 。 zhì yú qí tā fāng miàn ……
所见诸界尽皆破灭、唯有各种毁灭性的残存真仙篆字之力在星海中回荡。所谓靠山吃山靠水吃水,玄仙舟于是将未来全都寄托在了对这种伟力的研究上。至于其他方面……
The various worlds around them were all in ruins, with only remnants of destructive True Immortal scripts lingering in the star sea. Following the adage "live off the land," the Xuanxian Boat dedicated its future to researching this immense power. As for other aspects...
yǔ bǎo shòu jié nàn de xuán huáng jiè xiāng bǐ , ruò le bù zhǐ yī chóu 。
与饱受劫难的玄黄界相比,弱了不止一筹。
Compared to the heavily ravaged Xuanhuang World, it lagged far behind.
zuì qǐ mǎ , fǎ bù kě tóng xiū de jí duān huán jìng xià , xuán huáng jiè dàn shēng chū de nà zhǒng zhǒng miào fǎ , zài xuán xiān zhōu xiū shì yǎn zhōng , quán dōu shì zú yǐ lìng rén pāi àn jiào jué de cún zài 。
最起码,法不可同修的极端环境下,玄黄界诞生出的那种种妙法,在玄仙舟修士眼中,全都是足以令人拍案叫绝的存在。
At least, in the extreme environment where techniques could not be practiced simultaneously, the myriad ingenious methods born from the Xuanhuang World were seen by the Xuanxian Boat cultivators as marvels that could elicit admiration.
yǒu zhe wàn xiān méng gōng fǎ kù zuò wéi dǐ yùn , lǐ fán fēn shén hěn kuài jiù wèi zhào xián zhǎo dào le zuì shì hé tā de yī tào xiū xíng fāng fǎ 。 dāng rán , zài zhào xián zì jǐ kàn lái , zhè shì wèi lái zhèng dào xué gōng tōng guò yǎn fǎ jué tuī yǎn ér chū de páng dà shù liàng gōng fǎ de yī bù fèn 。
有着万仙盟功法库作为底蕴,李凡分神很快就为赵闲找到了最适合他的一套修行方法。当然,在赵闲自己看来,这是未来证道学宫通过衍法珏推衍而出的庞大数量功法的一部分。
With the Wan Hua Chamber of Commerce's vast collection of cultivation techniques as a foundation, Li Fan's fragment quickly found the most suitable method for Zhao Xian. Of course, to Zhao Xian himself, it was just one part of the myriad techniques derived by the Prognostication Jade from the Derivation and Calculation Art.
「 líng shén yuán róng gōng 。 zài zī yuán jí duān quē fá qíng kuàng xià , yī jiù shì hé xiū shì xiū liàn de shén gōng 。 néng gòu dá chéng shén shí 、 líng lì de wán měi xié tiáo , rèn yì yī fāng qiáng shèng de qíng kuàng xià 、 dōu néng jiāng qí zhuǎn huàn le jiào ruò de nà yī fāng 。」
「灵神圆融功。在资源极端缺乏情况下,依旧适合修士修炼的神功。能够达成神识、灵力的完美协调,任意一方强盛的情况下、都能将其转换了较弱的那一方。」
"Divine Spirit Round Fusion Technique. A divine skill that remains suitable even in extremely resource-poor conditions. It can achieve perfect harmony between divine consciousness and spiritual energy; when one side grows stronger, it can be converted to support the weaker."
「 xué gōng zhī nèi , líng lì tí gōng shí zài yǒu xiàn 。 gōng wǒ jìn shēng jīn dān , yǐ jīng shì jí xiàn le 。 xiǎng yào zài wǎng shàng gèng jìn yí bù , gēn běn bù kě néng 。 wǒ què kě yǐ tōng guò néng gòu zēng zhǎng shén shí lì liàng de mì fǎ , yòng shén shí de zēng zhǎng dài dòng líng lì de zēng jiā ……」
「学宫之内,灵力提供实在有限。供我晋升金丹,已经是极限了。想要再往上更进一步,根本不可能。我却可以通过能够增长神识力量的秘法,用神识的增长带动灵力的增加……」
"In the academy, the supply of spiritual energy is limited. It's already pushing me to advance to the Golden Core Realm. To go any further would be impossible. I could use secret techniques that increase divine consciousness to drive up my spiritual energy..."
「 xué gōng de duì huàn míng lù zhōng , shī zhǎn mì fǎ suǒ xū yào de nà xiē dōng xī de jià zhí , yuǎn bǐ bù shàng líng shí 。」
「学宫的兑换名录中,施展秘法所需要的那些东西的价值,远比不上灵石。」
"The value of the items needed for these secret techniques in the academy's exchange list far outweighs spirit stones."
zhèng kǔ nǎo yú xiàn rù píng jǐng de zhào xián , hū de líng guāng yī shǎn , cóng nà ge guǐ yì de wèi lái zhī mèng zhōng yòu huí yì qǐ le gèng duō 。 xīng fèn zhī xià , dāng jí jiāng zì jǐ zhè xiē nián jī zǎn de gòng xiàn huā guāng , duì huàn qí le cuì liàn shén shí suǒ xū yào de nà xiē wù zī 。
正苦恼于陷入瓶颈的赵闲,忽的灵光一闪,从那个诡异的未来之梦中又回忆起了更多。兴奋之下,当即将自己这些年积攒的贡献花光,兑换其了淬炼神识所需要的那些物资。
Suddenly enlightened, Zhao Xian spent all his accumulated contributions on acquiring the materials required to refine his divine consciousness.
hēi shén jiāo , chì gǔ jiāng , yǎng zhì hǔ pò ……
黑神胶,赤古浆,养志琥珀……
Black God Glue, Scarlet Ancient Juice, Nourishing Will Amber...
zhè xiē xiān zhōu zhōng xún cháng de níng shén ān xīn de zá wù , bèi zhào xián shī zhǎn huǒ yàn , duàn shāo 、 róng huà chéng jīng yíng de yè tǐ 。 ér hòu rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ , yuán yuán bù duàn jìn rù tā de shí hǎi zhī zhōng 。
这些仙舟中寻常的凝神安心的杂物,被赵闲施展火焰,煅烧、融化成晶莹的液体。而后如长鲸吸水,源源不断进入他的识海之中。
These ordinary condensation and tranquility tools of the Xuanxian Boat were burned and melted by Zhao Xian into crystalline liquids. He then ingested them like a whale sucking in water, continuously filling hissea of consciousness (consciousness sea).
gǔn tàng de rè làng , jī hū shùn jiān yào bǎ zhào xián de shén shí fén shāo de gān jìng 。
滚烫的热浪,几乎瞬间要把赵闲的神识焚烧的干净。
The scorching heat nearly instantly incinerated Zhao Xian's divine consciousness.
yì shí duǎn zàn de kòng bái guò hòu , zhào xián fā xiàn zì jǐ jū rán shì yìng le zhè zhǒng chì rè 。 tóng shí zì shēn de shén shí qiáng dù , yě kāi shǐ yǒu le ròu yǎn kě jiàn de tí shēng 。
意识短暂的空白过后,赵闲发现自己居然适应了这种炽热。同时自身的神识强度,也开始有了肉眼可见的提升。
After a brief moment of blank awareness, Zhao Xian found that he had adapted to this intense heat. His divine consciousness strength began to visibly increase.
「 dàng zhēn shì wú shàng miào fǎ !」 zhào xián xīn zhōng zàn tàn 。
「当真是无上妙法!」赵闲心中赞叹。
"Truly an unparalleled method!" Zhao Xian marveled inwardly.
bù guò zhào xián bìng bù zhī dào de shì , zhī suǒ yǐ tā nà liàn qì qī cuì ruò de shén shí , néng zài zhè bān jù liè de róng liàn zhōng bǎo cún , quán dōu shì lǐ fán fēn shén de gōng láo 。
不过赵闲并不知道的是,之所以他那炼气期脆弱的神识,能在这般剧烈的熔炼中保存,全都是李凡分神的功劳。
However, Zhao Xian did not know that his frail consciousness at the Qi Condensation stage was able to survive such intense refinement thanks to Li Fan's fragment.
shèn zhì nà xiē bǎo wù liàn zhì chéng de jiāng yè , jué dà duō shù de gōng xiào yě shì bèi lǐ fán fēn shén gěi xī shōu liàn huà le 。 bì jìng zhào xián zhǐ yǒu liàn qì hòu qī de xiū wèi , jǐn jǐn shì fēn rùn chū yī sī , jiù zú yǐ ràng tā de shén shí wěn bù tí shēng le 。
甚至那些宝物炼制成的浆液,绝大多数的功效也是被李凡分神给吸收炼化了。毕竟赵闲只有炼气后期的修为,仅仅是分润出一丝,就足以让他的神识稳步提升了。
Most of the effects from these refined elixirs were absorbed and refined by Li Fan's fragment. After all, with only late-stage Qi Condensation cultivation, even a tiny fraction was enough for Zhao Xian's divine consciousness to steadily increase.
dāng zhào xián cóng xiū liàn zhōng qīng xǐng guò lái zhī hòu , tā gǎn jué dào zì jǐ de shén shí qiáng dù jiào zhī qián jī hū fān le jǐ bèi 。 yǐ jīng dào dá le zhù jī zhōng qī de shuǐ zhǔn 。
当赵闲从修炼中清醒过来之后,他感觉到自己的神识强度较之前几乎翻了几倍。已经到达了筑基中期的水准。
After waking up from his meditation, Zhao Xian felt that his divine consciousness strength had nearly doubled, reaching the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
gēn zhè 「 páng dà 」 de shén shí lì liàng xiāng bǐ , zì jǐ de líng lì xiū wèi què shì xiǎn de yǒu xiē chán ruò le 。
跟这「庞大」的神识力量相比,自己的灵力修为却是显得有些孱弱了。
Compared to this "vast" divine consciousness power, his spiritual energy seemed somewhat weak.
pǒ yǒu zhǒng jù rén bǎi nòng zhe wán jù shēn tǐ de gǎn jué 。
颇有种巨人摆弄着玩具身体的感觉。
It was like a giant playing with a toy body.
zhào xián yā xià nèi xīn de kuáng xǐ , lián máng yùn zhuàn 【 líng shén yuán róng gōng 】。 shí hǎi zhōng fǎng fú yí gè wú xíng mò pán , zhòu rán chū xiàn 。 jiāng shén shí lì liàng niǎn suì , huà zuò jīng chún de lì liàng , zī bǔ zhe zhào xián de shēn qū 。….
赵闲压下内心的狂喜,连忙运转【灵神圆融功】。识海中仿佛一个无形磨盘,骤然出现。将神识力量碾碎,化作精纯的力量,滋补着赵闲的身躯。….
Zhao Xian suppressed his overwhelming joy and immediately began practicing the [Divine Spirit Round Fusion Technique]. Hissea of consciousness (consciousness sea) suddenly appeared as anintangible grindstone (invisible grinding wheel), crushing his divine consciousness into pure power to nourish his body...
méi yǒu xī shōu rèn hé líng qì , zhào xián de xiū wèi yě yǐ zhǒng kě bù de sù dù zài fēng kuáng jìn shēng 。
没有吸收任何灵气,赵闲的修为也以种可怖的速度在疯狂晋升。
Without absorbing any spiritual energy, Zhao Xian's cultivation level soared at a terrifying speed.
zuì zhōng , sān tiān guò qù , zhào xián de shén shí 、 líng lì , píng héng zài le zhù jī qián qī de jiē duàn 。
最终,三天过去,赵闲的神识、灵力,平衡在了筑基前期的阶段。
After three days, his divine consciousness and spiritual energy balanced out at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
「 wǒ zhè jiù zhù jī chéng gōng le ?」
「我这就筑基成功了?」
"Am I about to successfully establish my foundation?"
huí guò shén lái de zhào xián mǎn shì bù kě zhì xìn de kàn zhe zì jǐ de shuāng shǒu 。
回过神来的赵闲满是不可置信的看着自己的双手。
Zhao Xian looked incredulously at his hands.
「 zhè tū pò de yě tài róng yì le , gēn běn méi yǒu gǎn shòu dào shī zūn 、 xué gōng qián bèi men suǒ shuō de shén me xīn mó 、 píng jǐng 。」
「这突破的也太容易了,根本没有感受到师尊、学宫前辈们所说的什么心魔、瓶颈。」
"This breakthrough is too easy. I didn't even feel the heart demons or bottlenecks mentioned by my mentors."
「 zhù jī zhī hòu , wǒ zài xué gōng de quán xiàn yě wǎng shàng shēng le yī dà jié 。 néng gòu duì huàn de wù zī gèng duō le 。 xiū xíng kǒng pà yào bǐ zhī qián gèng kuài ……」
「筑基之后,我在学宫的权限也往上升了一大截。能够兑换的物资更多了。修行恐怕要比之前更快……」
"After establishing my foundation, my privileges in the academy will increase significantly. I can exchange more resources and likely progress faster..."
bì jìng zhǐ shì gè shào nián láng , huàn xiǎng wèi lái , zhào xián yǒu xiē yì zhì bú zhù de kàng fèn 。
毕竟只是个少年郎,幻想未来,赵闲有些抑制不住的亢奋。
Being just a young man, Zhao Xian couldn't help feeling elated about his future.
zuì zhōng hái shì nà wèi lái zhī mèng zhōng 、 xiān zhōu zhuì wáng de huà miàn , bǎ tā lā huí le xiàn shí 。
最终还是那未来之梦中、仙舟坠亡的画面,把他拉回了现实。
However, it was the scene of the Xuanxian Boat's fall from that strange future dream that pulled him back to reality.
「 qián xíng màn màn , wǒ hái yǒu hěn zhǎng yī duàn lù yào zǒu 。 bù kě jiāo zòng 。」
「前行漫漫,我还有很长一段路要走。不可骄纵。」
"There is still a long way to go. I must not be arrogant."
zhào xián zhèng zài sī suǒ rú hé gèng dà de lì yòng zì jǐ 「 xiān zhī xiān
赵闲正在思索如何更大的利用自己「先知先
Zhao Xian was pondering how to fully leverage his "foreknowledge" advantage to rapidly rise in status.
jué 」 de yōu shì 、 shí xiàn dì wèi de xùn sù pān shēng 。
觉」的优势、实现地位的迅速攀升。
Meanwhile, Li Fan's fragment was reliving the scene of Zhao Xian's breakthrough.
ér lǐ fán fēn shén què shì zhèng zài huí wèi zhe cǐ qián zhào xián tū pò shí hòu de chǎng jǐng 。
而李凡分神却是正在回味着此前赵闲突破时候的场景。
Zhao Xian had indeed faced obstacles but they were blocked by Li Fan.
zhào xián bìng bú shì zhēn de méi yǒu yù dào pò guān de zǔ ài , ér shì bèi lǐ fán gěi dǎng zhù le 。
赵闲并不是真的没有遇到破关的阻碍,而是被李凡给挡住了。
"The sudden wave that directly targeted my heart."
「 nà gǔ píng kōng chū xiàn , zhí zhǐ nèi xīn de bō dòng 。」
「那股凭空出现,直指内心的波动。」
"It wasn't a True Immortal script. It was the Star Sea Heavenly Dao..."
「 bú shì zhēn xiān zhuàn zì 。 ér shì xīng hǎi tiān dào ……」
「不是真仙篆字。而是星海天道……」
Outside the Xuanxian Boat, the Saint Embryo Li Fan suddenly felt a sense of something.
cǐ kè , zài xuán xiān zhōu zhī wài de shèng tāi lǐ fán , hū de xīn yǒu suǒ gǎn 。
此刻,在玄仙舟之外的圣胎李凡,忽的心有所感。
His body came into contact with this space filled with dead silence, and during his passage through the darkest starry void, he realized that this dark star sea shared the same fundamental Dao principles as the Xuanhuang World. In fact, its upper limits were even higher than those in the Xuanhuang World.
shēn qū gēn zhè piàn chōng mǎn sǐ jì qì xī de kōng jiān zhí jiē jiē chù , shèng tāi lǐ fán zài héng dù zhì àn xīng kōng de guò chéng jiù yǐ jīng míng bái , zhè piàn zhì àn xīng hǎi shí zé gēn xuán huáng jiè gòng yòng yī tào jī chǔ de dào zé 。 shèn zhì shàng xiàn bǐ qǐ xuán huáng jiè hái yào gèng gāo yì diǎn 。
身躯跟这片充满死寂气息的空间直接接触,圣胎李凡在横渡至暗星空的过程就已经明白,这片至暗星海实则跟玄黄界共用一套基础的道则。甚至上限比起玄黄界还要更高一点。
The Sword Dao he had reached the limit of in the Xuanhuang World had actually unknowingly broken through during his passage through the star sea and reached a new height.
tā zài xuán huáng jiè yǐ jīng dá dào jí xiàn de jiàn dào , zài chuān yuè xīng hǎi de zhè duàn shí jiān lǐ , shí zé bù zhī bù jué jiān yǐ jīng dǎ pò le yuán běn de píng jǐng 、 dào dá le xīn de gāo dù 。
他在玄黄界已经达到极限的剑道,在穿越星海的这段时间里,实则不知不觉间已经打破了原本的瓶颈、到达了新的高度。
The bottleneck that manifested as "Heaven's Calamity" in the Xuanhuang World took on another form here.
ér zài xuán huáng jiè biǎo xiàn ér 【 tiān zhī è 】 de píng jǐng , zài zhè zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng , zé shì yǒu le lìng wài de cún zài xíng shì 。
而在玄黄界表现而【天之厄】的瓶颈,在这至暗星海中,则是有了另外的存在形式。
"If I were to advise people to return to the Dao, facing countless hardships only to ultimately die. Such power for such a breakthrough... If it weren't for my experiences and resilience far beyond what an ordinary person could have..."
「 quàn rén dào guī , wàn niàn jù huī 。 bù guò shì liàn qì yuán mǎn de tū pò , jū rán jiù yǒu zhè bān de wēi lì 。 ruò bú shì wǒ jīng lì tài duō , xīn zhōng jiān rèn fēi cháng rén kě jí ……」
「劝人道归,万念俱灰。不过是炼气圆满的突破,居然就有这般的威力。若不是我经历太多,心中坚韧非常人可及……」
"I might need to use the Immortal Heart Spell to dispel this." Saint Embryo Li Fan inwardly shuddered.
「 kǒng pà jiù yào dòng yòng xiān xīn zhòu cái néng huà jiě le 。」 shèng tāi lǐ fán àn zì xīn lǐn 。
「恐怕就要动用仙心咒才能化解了。」圣胎李凡暗自心凛。
Amidst the various illusory images carried by thatintangible fluctuations (invisible wave), he seemed to see a scene of success, only to face countless hardships and ultimately die in various calamities.
zài nà wú xíng bō dòng guǒ xié de zhǒng zhǒng huàn xiàng zhōng , shèng tāi lǐ fán fǎng fú kàn dào le tū pò chéng gōng hòu , yòu lì jīng qiān xīn wàn kǔ , què zuì zhōng sǐ yú zhǒng zhǒng jié nàn de huà miàn 。
在那无形波动裹挟的种种幻象中,圣胎李凡仿佛看到了突破成功后,又历经千辛万苦,却最终死于种种劫难的画面。
No matter how hard one tries, the outcome is failure.
wú lùn rú hé nǔ lì , dōu táo bù liǎo shī bài de jié jú 。
无论如何努力,都逃不了失败的结局。
"Perhaps it's better to return to the Dao... Return to the Dao..."
「 bù rú hái dào ér guī , hái dào ér guī ……」
「不如还道而归,还道而归……」
The执着 (obsession) echoed in hissea of consciousness (consciousness sea), urging him to abandon cultivation.
zhí niàn wǎn rú mó yīn , huí dàng zài shí hǎi zhōng 。 quàn shuō fàng qì xiū xíng 。
执念宛如魔音,回荡在识海中。劝说放弃修行。
"This Star Sea's Heavenly Dao is quite interesting. It somewhat resembles the ancient heart demons recorded in the Xuanhuang World."
「 zhè zhì àn xīng hǎi de tiān dào , dǎo shì yǒu diǎn yì si 。 gēn xuán huáng jiè diǎn jí zhōng jì zǎi de shàng gǔ xīn mó , yǒu xiē xiāng sì 。」
「这至暗星海的天道,倒是有点意思。跟玄黄界典籍中记载的上古心魔,有些相似。」
"Peeking through a tube, I can see that although this star sea has been destroyed by True Immortal scripts, its fundamental operations are still intact."
「 guǎn zhōng kuī bào , kě yǐ kàn chū zhè piàn xīng hǎi suī rán bèi zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de lì liàng cuī huǐ de qī líng bā luò , dàn shì qí jī běn dǐ céng yùn zuò , dǎo shì hái yī rán jiàn zài 。」
「管中窥豹,可以看出这片星海虽然被真仙篆字的力量摧毁的七零八落,但是其基本底层运作,倒是还依然健在。」
Saint Embryo Li Fan continued to ponder, his vision suddenly opening up, as if he saw a wider world beyond the Xuanhuang.
shèng tāi lǐ fán bù duàn sī suǒ , shì yě zhòu rán dǎ kāi , fǎng fú kàn dào le yí gè tiān dì gèng jiā kuān guǎng de 、 lǒng zhào zài xuán huáng zhī wài de shì jiè 。
圣胎李凡不断思索,视野骤然打开,仿佛看到了一个天地更加宽广的、笼罩在玄黄之外的世界。
Even though this world was already tattered and incomplete, it brought new insights for Li Fan to understand the principles of the universe.
jí biàn zhè shì jiè yǐ jīng tiān cán dì quē , què yě gěi lǐ fán lǐng wù shì jiè zhī lǐ dài lái le xīn de sī lù 。
即便这世界已经天残地缺,却也给李凡领悟世界之理带来了新的思路。
He once again reflected on the content in the Heavenly Doctor's [Supplementing Heaven Record].
tā zài dù huí wèi zhe tiān yī 【 bǔ tiān lù 】 zhōng de nèi róng 。
他再度回味着天医【补天录】中的内容。
"If the situation in the Xuanhuang World is like a critically ill person being revived by another body, then this dark star sea is already dead, with most of its body crushed by immense force, leaving only some fragments..."
「 rú guǒ shuō xuán huáng jiè de qíng kuàng , shì bìng rù gāo huāng 、 bèi rén jiè shī huán hún de féng hé guài wù , nà zhè piàn zhì àn xīng hǎi , zé shì zǎo yǐ jīng sǐ qù 、 jué dà duō shù qū tǐ bèi jù lì niǎn suì , zhǐ yǒu xiē xǔ cán zhī suì xiè liú cún ……」
「如果说玄黄界的情况,是病入膏荒、被人借尸还魂的缝合怪物,那这片至暗星海,则是早已经死去、绝大多数躯体被巨力碾碎,只有些许残肢碎屑留存……」
"The Xuanhuang World can still be salvaged, but this dark star sea is beyond salvation."
「 xuán huáng jiè hái kě qiǎng jiù yī xià , zhè zhì àn xīng hǎi zé shì chè dǐ méi jiù le 。」
「玄黄界还可抢救一下,这至暗星海则是彻底没救了。」
"Of course, based on the perspective of the Heavenly Doctor when writing [Supplementing Heaven Record]."
「 dāng rán , shì yǐ tiān yī zhù 【 bǔ tiān lù 】 shí de yǎn guāng lái kàn 。」
「当然,是以天医著【补天录】时的眼光来看。」

Drifting through the star sea for ten thousand years, even without a cultural gap, the theoretical level of the Xuanxian Boat's cultivation methods had barely progressed at all.
The various worlds around them were all in ruins, with only remnants of destructive True Immortal scripts lingering in the star sea. Following the adage "live off the land," the Xuanxian Boat dedicated its future to researching this immense power. As for other aspects...
Compared to the heavily ravaged Xuanhuang World, it lagged far behind.
At least, in the extreme environment where techniques could not be practiced simultaneously, the myriad ingenious methods born from the Xuanhuang World were seen by the Xuanxian Boat cultivators as marvels that could elicit admiration.
With the Wan Hua Chamber of Commerce's vast collection of cultivation techniques as a foundation, Li Fan's fragment quickly found the most suitable method for Zhao Xian. Of course, to Zhao Xian himself, it was just one part of the myriad techniques derived by the Prognostication Jade from the Derivation and Calculation Art.
"Divine Spirit Round Fusion Technique. A divine skill that remains suitable even in extremely resource-poor conditions. It can achieve perfect harmony between divine consciousness and spiritual energy; when one side grows stronger, it can be converted to support the weaker."
"In the academy, the supply of spiritual energy is limited. It's already pushing me to advance to the Golden Core Realm. To go any further would be impossible. I could use secret techniques that increase divine consciousness to drive up my spiritual energy..."
"The value of the items needed for these secret techniques in the academy's exchange list far outweighs spirit stones."
Suddenly enlightened, Zhao Xian spent all his accumulated contributions on acquiring the materials required to refine his divine consciousness.
Black God Glue, Scarlet Ancient Juice, Nourishing Will Amber...
These ordinary condensation and tranquility tools of the Xuanxian Boat were burned and melted by Zhao Xian into crystalline liquids. He then ingested them like a whale sucking in water, continuously filling hissea of consciousness (consciousness sea).
The scorching heat nearly instantly incinerated Zhao Xian's divine consciousness.
After a brief moment of blank awareness, Zhao Xian found that he had adapted to this intense heat. His divine consciousness strength began to visibly increase.

Without absorbing any spiritual energy, Zhao Xian's cultivation level soared at a terrifying speed.
After three days, his divine consciousness and spiritual energy balanced out at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The bottleneck that manifested as "Heaven's Calamity" in the Xuanhuang World took on another form here.
"If I were to advise people to return to the Dao, facing countless hardships only to ultimately die. Such power for such a breakthrough... If it weren't for my experiences and resilience far beyond what an ordinary person could have..."
"I might need to use the Immortal Heart Spell to dispel this." Saint Embryo Li Fan inwardly shuddered.
Amidst the various illusory images carried by thatintangible fluctuations (invisible wave), he seemed to see a scene of success, only to face countless hardships and ultimately die in various calamities.
No matter how hard one tries, the outcome is failure.

The执着 (obsession) echoed in hissea of consciousness (consciousness sea), urging him to abandon cultivation.
"This Star Sea's Heavenly Dao is quite interesting. It somewhat resembles the ancient heart demons recorded in the Xuanhuang World."
"Peeking through a tube, I can see that although this star sea has been destroyed by True Immortal scripts, its fundamental operations are still intact."
Saint Embryo Li Fan continued to ponder, his vision suddenly opening up, as if he saw a wider world beyond the Xuanhuang.
Even though this world was already tattered and incomplete, it brought new insights for Li Fan to understand the principles of the universe.
He once again reflected on the content in the Heavenly Doctor's [Supplementing Heaven Record].
"If the situation in the Xuanhuang World is like a critically ill person being revived by another body, then this dark star sea is already dead, with most of its body crushed by immense force, leaving only some fragments..."
"The Xuanhuang World can still be salvaged, but this dark star sea is beyond salvation."
"Of course, based on the perspective of the Heavenly Doctor when writing [Supplementing Heaven Record]."
