yī shǐ zōng ， yǔ tiān jiàn 、 dà dào zōng děng tóng wèi xī rì shí dà xiān zōng zhī yī 。
一始宗，与天剑、大道宗等同为昔日十大仙宗之一。
One Initial Sect, along with the Heavenly Sword Sect and Great Dao Sect, was once one of the Ten Ancient Immortal Sects.
cún zài gǎn xiāng duì ér yán què ruò shàng bù shǎo 。
存在感相对而言却弱上不少。
However, its presence is relatively weak compared to these sects.
bù jǐn zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng jī běn méi yǒu jiē chù ， zài rú jīn zhè ge shí dài yě nán yǐ zhǎo dào xiāng guān jì zǎi 。
不仅在陨仙境中基本没有接触，在如今这个时代也难以找到相关记载。
Not only did it have minimal contact in the Void Foundation Realm, but it's also difficult to find any records of it in this current era. It seems as if it had vanished from the world all at once.
fǎng fú hū de cóng shì jiān zhēng fā le yī yàng 。
仿佛忽的从世间蒸发了一样。
Apart from accidentally learning about it from Senior Stone Plate before, Li Fan knew little else about One Initial Sect.
chú le zhī qián ， cóng shí bǎn qián bèi kǒu zhōng ǒu rán dé zhī ， zì jǐ yòng lái chéng jiù yuán yīng de wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， jiù shì yī shǐ zōng de shǒu bǐ 。
除了之前，从石板前辈口中偶然得知，自己用来成就元婴的五行大洞天，就是一始宗的手笔。
But today, he discovered traces of One Initial Sect underground in the裂谷 (Cleft Valley) at a depth of three thousand zhang. However, these were just remnants.
lǐ fán jiù zài yě méi yǒu duì qí liǎo jiě tài duō le 。
李凡就再也没有对其了解太多了。
The entire ruins were empty, with no one present except for a partially collapsed building in the center that bore faintly etched characters reading "One Initial."
bù xiǎng ， jīn rì zài zhè liè gǔ dì xià sān qiān zhàng ， jìng rán fā xiàn le yī shǐ zōng de hén jì 。
不想，今日在这裂谷地下三千丈，竟然发现了一始宗的痕迹。
There was nothing else left to indicate the grandeur of an ancient immortal sect.
dàn yě jǐn jǐn zhǐ shì hén jì bà le 。
但也仅仅只是痕迹罢了。
"Looks like One Initial Sect isn't doing well," Li Fan mused after asking Sun Lu Yao.
zhěng gè yí jì ， kōng wú yì rén 。
整个遗迹，空无一人。
Upon inquiry, he learned that this indeed was where they had discovered the Boundless Mirror in the past. However, back then, they only entered a small portion of the area. Now, due to some unknown reason, the array separating different regions has vanished, revealing the true form of One Initial Sect.
chú le yí jì zhōng yāng yī zuò dǎo tā de jiàn zhù nèi ， yī xī kè zhe 【 yī shǐ 】 liǎng gè zì de shí bēi 。
除了遗迹中央一座倒塌的建筑内，依稀刻着【一始】两个字的石碑。
"Boundless Primordial Origin, visible from one corner!"
zhè lǐ jiù zài yě xún bú dào rèn hé shàng gǔ shí dà xiān zōng qì pài de dōng xī le 。
这里就再也寻不到任何上古十大仙宗气派的东西了。
Li Fan whispered as he divided his attention.
“ kàn lái zhè yī shǐ zōng ， hùn dé hěn bù hǎo a 。”
“看来这一始宗，混得很不好啊。”
Instantly, an inconspicuous glow emanated from the Boundless Mirror, enveloping the entire ruins.
xún wèn guò sūn lù yáo hòu dé zhī ， zhè lǐ dí què jiù shì dāng nián tā men fā xiàn wú liàng jìng de yí jì 。
询问过孙路遥后得知，这里的确就是当年他们发现无量镜的遗迹。
The complete structural map of the ruins instantly appeared on the mirror. Even details such as areas with lingering spiritual energy fluctuations, hidden chambers, and their respective dangers were all revealed.
zhǐ bù guò bǐ shí tā men chuǎng rù de ， zhǐ shì qí zhōng yī xiǎo bù fèn qū yù 。
只不过彼时他们闯入的，只是其中一小部分区域。
All this was accomplished by the Boundless Mirror under Ji Hong Dao's nose.
rú jīn bù zhī dào yīn wèi shén me yuán yīn ， gé kāi bù tóng qū yù de zhèn fǎ yǐ jīng xiāo shī ， shǐ de zhěng gè yī shǐ zōng lù chū le zhēn róng 。
如今不知道因为什么原因，隔开不同区域的阵法已经消失，使得整个一始宗露出了真容。
However, even though he was among the top array masters in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Ji Hong Dao showed no signs of awareness.
“ wú liàng hóng méng ， yī fāng kě jiàn ！”
“无量鸿蒙，一方可见！”
Li Fan recalled how, during his 114th cycle, he had traveled to Cloud Sea for array studies while Ji Hong Dao personally taught thousands of talented array practitioners. At that time, even Ji Hong Dao's array mastery seemed unattainable.
lǐ fán fēn shén kǒu zhōng dī yín 。
李凡分神口中低吟。
After just a dozen or so cycles, his own array level had reached a point where Ji Hong Dao couldn't comprehend it anymore.
qiāo wú shēng xī jiān ， wú liàng jìng zài dù fàng chū cháng rén bù kě chá jué de yōu guāng 。
悄无声息间，无量镜再度放出常人不可察觉的幽光。
"I keep advancing with each life cycle, but they remain stagnant..."
chà nà jiān lǒng zhào zhěng zuò yī shǐ zōng yí jì 。
刹那间笼罩整座一始宗遗迹。
"The gap will only grow in the future."
yú shì ， yí jì wán zhěng de jié gòu dì tú ， dùn shí tóng bù fú xiàn zài wú liàng jìng zhōng 。
于是，遗迹完整的结构地图，顿时同步浮现在无量镜中。
Li Fan shook his head as he watched Sun Lu Yao and Ji Hong Dao cautiously explore the ruins.
shèn zhì lián nǎ xiē dì fāng réng rán yǒu líng lì bō dòng ， nǎ xiē dì fāng yǒu yǐn cáng de mì shì ， gè gè dì fāng de wēi xiǎn chéng dù ……
甚至连哪些地方仍然有灵力波动，哪些地方有隐藏的密室，各个地方的危险程度……
Without further ado, Li Fan ordered Sun Lu Yao to lead them to the most valuable part of One Initial Sect.
děng děng xìn xī quán dōu yī yīng jù quán 。
等等信息全都一应俱全。
"Brother Sun, be careful; the array here is the most complete..." Ji Hong Dao warned while leading the way.
zhè yī qiè ， jiù shì wú liàng jìng zài jì hóng dào yǎn pí zi dǐ zi wán chéng de 。
这一切，就是无量镜在纪宏道眼皮子底子完成的。
Sun Lu Yao was speechless but couldn't reveal anything.
rán ér zhè wèi yǐ jīng shì wàn xiān méng zhèn fǎ zuì dǐng jiān nà yī pī cún zài de zhèn fǎ shī ， què gēn běn méi yǒu rèn hé de chá jué 。
然而这位已经是万仙盟阵法最顶尖那一批存在的阵法师，却根本没有任何的察觉。
The two proceeded with great caution, passing through walls concealed by arrays and entering a secret chamber.
lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng bù jīn huí xiǎng qǐ le ，114 shì de shí hòu ， tā yú cóng yún hǎi qián wǎng tiān yǔ zhōu xué xí zhèn fǎ 、 jì hóng dào qīn zì wèi wàn xiān méng shàng qiān míng zhèn fǎ jùn jié shàng kè de huà miàn 。
李凡脑海中不禁回想起了，114世的时候，他于丛云海前往天禹州学习阵法、纪宏道亲自为万仙盟上千名阵法俊杰上课的画面。
In the deepest part of the chamber were two statues—one large and one small.
zài dāng shí de tā kàn lái ， bié shuō jì hóng dào le ， jiù suàn shì huáng fǔ sōng de zhèn fǎ shuǐ píng yě shì tā wú fǎ qǐ jí de cún zài 。
在当时的他看来，别说纪宏道了，就算是皇甫松的阵法水平也是他无法企及的存在。
The larger statue sat cross-legged on a mat, holding a whisk. The smaller one stood behind it with a smile.
bù guò shí jǐ cì lún huí ， tā de zhèn fǎ shuǐ píng yǐ jīng dào le jì hóng dào gēn běn kàn bù dǒng de shuǐ zhǔn 。
不过十几次轮回，他的阵法水平已经到了纪宏道根本看不懂的水准。
These peculiar statues immediately caught their attention.
“ wǒ měi yī shì dōu zài bù duàn xiàng qián ， tā men què shǐ zhōng yuán dì tà bù ……”
“我每一世都在不断向前，他们却始终原地踏步……”
They didn't act rashly but carefully observed them.
“ yǐ hòu de chā jù ， zhǐ huì yuè lái yuè dà 。”
“以后的差距，只会越来越大。”
"It seems like just ordinary stone statues; there's nothing special about them," Ji Hong Dao concluded after some time.
lǐ fán kàn zhe yī jiù bù bù wéi yíng 、 xiǎo xīn tàn suǒ de sūn lù yuǎn liǎng rén ， wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
李凡看着依旧步步为营、小心探索的孙路远两人，微微摇头。
Sun Lu Yao heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
méi yǒu nài xīn zài děng ， zhí jiē mìng lìng sūn lù yáo jiāng liǎng rén zhǐ yǐn dào rú jīn zhè yī shǐ zōng wéi yī hái yǒu jià zhí de dì fāng 。
没有耐心再等，直接命令孙路遥将两人指引到如今这一始宗唯一还有价值的地方。
Meanwhile, in the Boundless Mirror,
“ sūn xiōng xiǎo xīn ， zhè lǐ de zhèn fǎ qì xī zuì wèi wán zhěng ……” jì hóng dào tí xǐng dào ， zài qián miàn kāi lù 。
“孙兄小心，这里的阵法气息最为完整……”纪宏道提醒道，在前面开路。
Li Fan glanced at the scene from his previous scan and then at the chamber.
sūn lù yáo xīn zhōng yǒu xiē wú yǔ ， què yě bù hǎo bào lù 。
孙路遥心中有些无语，却也不好暴露。
His heart sank as he asked Sun Lu Yao, "Can you see those two statues?"
èr rén jí wéi shèn zhòng de qián xíng ， chuān guò zhèn fǎ zhē yǎn de qiáng bì ， jìn rù dào yī jiān mì shì zhī nèi 。
二人极为慎重的前行，穿过阵法遮掩的墙壁，进入到一间密室之内。
"Statues? What statues?" Sun Lu Yao was taken aback, feeling a bit bewildered.
mì shì zuì lǐ miàn ， bǎi fàng zhè yī dà yī xiǎo liǎng zūn diāo xiàng 。
密室最里面，摆放这一大一小两尊雕像。
"Don't touch them," Li Fan commanded without further explanation.
dà de nà zūn ， pán zuò pú tuán ， shǒu chí fú chén 。
大的那尊，盘坐蒲团，手持拂尘。
With Ji Hong Dao's reminder, Sun Lu Yao, trusting his brother, stopped him from investigating the statues.
ér xiǎo de nà zūn ， zé shì zhàn zài qí shēn hòu ， miàn lù wēi xiào 。
而小的那尊，则是站在其身后，面露微笑。
"Why is this dangerous thing so perilous, Brother?"
zhè qí yì de diāo xiàng shà shí xī yǐn le liǎng rén de zhù yì 。
这奇异的雕像霎时吸引了两人的注意。
Sun Lu Yao had examined the stone statues for some time but couldn't find anything extraordinary about them.
méi yǒu qīng jǔ wàng dòng ， zǐ xì guān chá 。
没有轻举妄动，仔细观察。
"I once came across a similar description in ancient texts. They seem to be the source of the Ten Immortal Sects' legacy—Grand Master Heavenly Capital," Sun Lu Yao relayed Li Fan's judgment.
“ hǎo xiàng zhǐ shì dān chún de shí xiàng ， méi shén me xuán jī 。” liáng jiǔ ， jì hóng dào zuò chū le pàn duàn 。
“好像只是单纯的石像，没什么玄机。”良久，纪宏道做出了判断。
"Grand Master Heavenly Capital?" Both Sun Lu Yao and Ji Hong Dao took a step back.
sūn lù yuǎn wén yán sōng le kǒu qì 。
孙路远闻言松了口气。
They had heard about this legendary figure, who was said to have reached half the realm of true immortality.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， wú liàng jìng zhōng 。
与此同时，无量镜中。
Anything associated with true immortals instilled fear in people. The higher one’s cultivation, the more they understood the gap between cultivators and true immortals.
lǐ fán kàn le yǎn zhī qián hóng méng jiàn fāng zhèn sǎo miáo huì zhì de chǎng jǐng ， yòu kàn le yǎn mì shì 。
李凡看了眼之前鸿蒙见方阵扫描绘制的场景，又看了眼密室。
In the Boundless Mirror, Li Fan's consciousness raced through his thoughts.
xīn zhōng yī chén 。
心中一沉。
Previously, he had suffered greatly from the influence of the Faceless True Immortal statue over six cycles of reincarnation.
“ nǐ néng kàn dào nà liǎng zūn diāo xiàng me ？” lǐ fán xiàng sūn lù yáo wèn dào 。
“你能看到那两尊雕像么？”李凡向孙路遥问道。
Although Grand Master Heavenly Capital was not at the same level as the Faceless True Immortal, he too had left a mark on him.
“ diāo xiàng ？ shén me diāo xiàng ？” sūn lù yáo lèng zhù ， yǒu xiē mò míng qí miào 。
“雕像？什么雕像？”孙路遥愣住，有些莫名奇妙。
Li Fan felt compelled to be cautious.
“ ràng nǐ gē ， bié qù pèng tā 。” lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu jiě shì ， ér shì zhí jiē mìng lìng dào 。
“让你哥，别去碰它。”李凡并没有解释，而是直接命令道。
"One Initial Sect doesn't seem like a sect that respects its teachers. According to Senior Stone Plate's description, they were preparing to cultivate the Five Elements Great Caverns and directly devour the Primordial Yellow World, creating an entirely new cultivation realm. However, someone stopped them."
dé dào le sūn lù yáo tí xǐng de sūn lù yuǎn ， chū yú duì dì di de xìn rèn ， hái shì zhì zhǐ le jì hóng dào xiǎng yào yī tàn jiū jìng de jǔ dòng 。
得到了孙路遥提醒的孙路远，出于对弟弟的信任，还是制止了纪宏道想要一探究竟的举动。
"Mr. Bai must have been the one who stopped One Initial Sect."
“ dì di ， zhè wán yì ， jiū jìng yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn ？”
“弟弟，这玩意，究竟有什么危险？”
"Before the Primordial Yellow World fully opposed cultivators, they still revered the Heavenly Dao. Heaven nurtures, Earth raises; like parents to cultivators."
bù guò tā fǎn fù dǎ liàng le shí xiàng xǔ jiǔ ， yě méi yǒu kàn chū tā men shēn shàng de tè yì zhī chù 。
不过他反复打量了石像许久，也没有看出它们身上的特异之处。
"One Initial Sect, however, greedily harvested the essence of heaven and earth without mercy—just like new cultivation methods."
“ wǒ zhī qián ， céng jīng ǒu rán zài gǔ jí zhōng kàn guò gēn zhè liǎng zūn diāo xiàng yǒu xiē lèi sì de jì zǎi 。 tā men sì hū jiù shì shí zōng chuán chéng de yuán tóu ， tiān dōu dà fǎ shī ……” sūn lù yáo jiāng lǐ fán de pàn duàn zhuǎn shù le chū lái 。
“我之前，曾经偶然在古籍中看过跟这两尊雕像有些类似的记载。他们似乎就是十宗传承的源头，天都大法师……”孙路遥将李凡的判断转述了出来。
"Grand Master Heavenly Capital..."
“ tiān dōu dà fǎ shī ？” sūn lù yuǎn yǔ jì hóng dào qí qí wǎng hòu tuì le yī bù 。
“天都大法师？”孙路远与纪宏道齐齐往后退了一步。
Li Fan used the Boundless Square Array to scan the statue of Grand Master Heavenly Capital again.
duì yú zhè wèi chuán shuō zhōng de cún zài ， tā men hái shì yǒu suǒ ěr wén de 。
对于这位传说中的存在，他们还是有所耳闻的。
There were two statues—one large and one small. According to legend, it was the seated figure who had imparted countless techniques and secrets to the Ten Immortal Sects.
jù shuō nǎi shì bàn bù zhēn xiān zhī jìng 。
据说乃是半步真仙之境。
However, his inner intuition told Li Fan that the standing child might be more significant.
ér fán shì néng gòu gēn zhēn xiān zhān shàng biān ， jiù yóu bù dé bù ràng rén xīn shēng wèi jù 。
而凡是能够跟真仙粘上边，就由不得不让人心生畏惧。
Thus, the Boundless Square Array focused on the smiling child statue.
xiū wèi yuè gāo ， yuè shì liǎo jiě xiū shì gēn zhēn xiān de chā jù ， jiù yuè shì rú cǐ 。
修为越高，越是了解修士跟真仙的差距，就越是如此。
The boundless light swept over the area around the statues repeatedly.
wú liàng jìng zhōng ， lǐ fán fēn shén sī xù fēi sù yùn zhuàn 。
无量镜中，李凡分神思绪飞速运转。
With each scan, lines began to appear in the mirror's display but gradually vanished with time.
zhī qián ， tā hěn hěn chī guò wú miàn zhēn xiān shí xiàng de kuī 。
之前，他狠狠吃过无面真仙石像的亏。
Li Fan squinted and sped up the scanning process of the Boundless Mirror.
yòng le liù shì lún huí ， cái jiāng wú miàn zhēn xiān duì zì jǐ de yǐng xiǎng xiāo chú 。
用了六世轮回，才将无面真仙对自己的影响消除。
The lines slowly accumulated again.
suī rán tiān dōu dà fǎ shī gēn wú miàn zhēn xiān bú shì yí gè céng jí de cún zài ， dàn dāng chū tā yě zài zì jǐ shēn shàng liú xià le yìn jì 。
虽然天都大法师跟无面真仙不是一个层级的存在，但当初他也在自己身上留下了印记。
"Brother, help me."
bù dé bù shèn zhòng yī xiē 。
不得不慎重一些。
Unable to handle the excessive use, Sun Lu Yao sought his brother’s assistance.
“ yī shǐ zōng chuán chéng lái zì tiān dōu dà fǎ shī ， zōng mén nèi bǎi fàng zhe dà fǎ shī shí xiàng ， kàn shàng qù hěn hé lǐ 。”
“一始宗传承来自天都大法师，宗门内摆放着大法师石像，看上去很合理。”
After receiving support from Sun Lu Yao's essence, the Boundless Mirror finally revealed the true form of the statues in the chamber.
“ dàn ……”
“但……”
They were two bones—what seemed like a creature with all its flesh removed, leaving only two remaining bones.
One Initial Sect, along with the Heavenly Sword Sect and Great Dao Sect, was once one of the Ten Ancient Immortal Sects.
However, its presence is relatively weak compared to these sects.
Not only did it have minimal contact in the Void Foundation Realm, but it's also difficult to find any records of it in this current era. It seems as if it had vanished from the world all at once.
