第一千二百一十章 冲刷幽暗海

“ ruò shì zhēn yǒu nà tiān ， qián bèi kě bié wàng le dài shàng wǒ 。” piàn kè zhī hòu ， sūn èr láng xiào zhe tiáo kǎn dào 。

“若是真有那天，前辈可别忘了带上我。”片刻之后，孙二郎笑着调侃道。

"Should that day come, don't forget to bring me along," Sun Erlang said with a smile.

“ wèn tí bù dà 。” yī shù miáo le yǎn sūn èr láng ， diǎn tóu tóng yì 。

“问题不大。”伊术瞄了眼孙二郎，点头同意。

"I see no problem with that." Yi Xing glanced at Sun Erlang and nodded in agreement.

sūn èr láng dùn shí è rán 。

孙二郎顿时愕然。

Sun Erlang was instantly taken aback. "Your teacher isn't currently in the Small World of Great启? I can't sense his presence anymore."

“ nǐ de shī zūn ， zuì jìn bù zài dà qǐ xiǎo shì jiè ？ wǒ gǎn yìng bú dào tā de cún zài le 。” yī shù rào guò cǐ shì bù tán ， zhuǎn ér wèn dào 。

“你的师尊，最近不在大启小世界？我感应不到他的存在了。”伊术绕过此事不谈，转而问道。

I see no issue with that," Yi Xing said, bypassing the matter and instead asking, "Has your teacher been absent from the Great启 Small World recently?"

sūn èr láng wén yán zhòu méi ：“ shì de 。 jiù shì bù zhī dào tā qù le hé fāng ？ yìn xiàng zhōng ， zhè hái shì tā dì yī cì lí kāi shèng cháo 。”

孙二郎闻言皱眉：“是的。就是不知道他去了何方？印象中，这还是他第一次离开圣朝。”

Sun Erlang frowned upon hearing this: "Yes. I just don’t know where he has gone. From what I remember, this is his first time leaving the Holy Empire."

yī shù kàn xiàng nà zuò sì hū yù fā gāo sǒng de shèng huáng zuò ， yǎn shén zhōng chà nà yǒu wú shù guāng yǐng shǎn guò 。

伊术看向那座似乎愈发高耸的圣皇座，眼神中刹那有无数光影闪过。

Yi Xing looked at the seemingly towering Imperial Throne and saw countless flashes of light in his eyes.

shèng huáng zuò xià fāng ， quān yǎng yōu zú rén de mì shì nèi 。

圣皇座下方，圈养幽族人的密室内。

Below the Imperial Throne, in a secret room that housed the cultivation of the Yōu people, over a thousand Yōu individuals were encircling each other, dancing and performing mysterious rituals.

shàng qiān míng yōu zú rén yī quān quān huán rào zhe ， shǒu wǔ zú dǎo 、 jǔ xíng zhe shén mì de yí shì 。

上千名幽族人一圈圈环绕着，手舞足蹈、举行着神秘的仪式。

At their center stood a dark door that seemed to devour all light. Beyond this mysterious dark portal lay another side of the Xuanhuang Realm—the Dark Sea.

zài tā men wéi rào de zhōng yāng ， yī dào fǎng fú néng tūn shì yī qiè guāng máng de qī hēi mén fēi ， hè rán sǒng lì 。

在他们围绕的中央，一道仿佛能吞噬一切光芒的漆黑门扉，赫然耸立。

Emperor Li Ping was currently within it, along with Elder Yin.

ér chuān guò zhè dào shén mì de yōu àn zhī mén ， zé shì dá dào le xuán huáng jiè de lìng wài yí miàn 、 yōu àn zhī hǎi zhōng 。

而穿过这道神秘的幽暗之门，则是达到了玄黄界的另外一面、幽暗之海中。

In the Dark Sea, vision, sound, and even spiritual awareness were lost in communication.

shèng huáng lǐ píng ， cǐ kè jiù shēn chù qí nèi 。

圣皇李平，此刻就身处其内。

However, Li Fan could still feel Elder Yin whispering to him from nearby. It felt as if some extraordinary power had directly attached itself to his skin, allowing for intimate conversation.

gēn tā zài yì qǐ de ， hái yǒu yīn shàng rén 。

跟他在一起的，还有殷上人。

Separated from the Holy Empire's fate, Emperor Li Ping’s strength was now incredibly weak. A single cultivator of the Transcendent Realm in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance could easily kill him.

yōu àn zhī hǎi zhōng ， shì jué 、 shēng yīn nǎi zhì shén shí dōu shī qù le gōu tōng de shǔ xìng 。

幽暗之海中，视觉、声音乃至神识都失去了沟通的属性。

But the Heavenly Mandate Emperor of the Dark Domain, despite this, showed no fear.

dàn lǐ fán réng jiù kě yǐ gǎn shòu dào ， yīn shàng rén zài zì jǐ ěr biān de qiè qiè sī yǔ 。

但李凡仍就可以感受到，殷上人在自己耳边的窃窃私语。

For within his body flowed a power that ordinary cultivators couldn't detect—virtually transcending the mundane, a vast golden force.

jiù xiàng shì mǒu zhǒng xuán qí de lì liàng zhí jiē fù zhuó zài le zì jǐ de pí fū biǎo miàn ， tiē shēn jiāo liú 。

就像是某种玄奇的力量直接附着在了自己的皮肤表面，贴身交流。

The Yōu people's cultivation program was progressing smoothly. They bypassed the growth process and directly produced mature individuals with peak physical functions upon birth.

shēn chù yōu àn zhī hǎi ， gēn shèng zhāo qì yùn duàn le lián xì 。

身处幽暗之海，跟圣朝气运断了联系。

However, this came at the cost of reduced lifespans; their expected lifespan was only three to five years.

cǐ kè lǐ píng de shí lì ， kě yǐ shuō shì chán ruò bù yǐ 。 wàn xiān méng suí biàn yī wèi huà shén xiū shì ， yīng gāi jiù néng jiāng qí qīng yì zhǎn shā 。

此刻李平的实力，可以说是孱弱不已。万仙盟随便一位化神修士，应该就能将其轻易斩杀。

But as long as the flesh factory could continuously produce them, it would ensure a steady number of loyal Yōu people serving Emperor Li Ping in the Holy Empire.

dàn shēn chù yōu àn yì yù de shèng cháo tiān mìng shèng huáng ， xīn zhōng què méi yǒu sī háo de wèi jù 。

但身处幽暗异域的圣朝天命圣皇，心中却没有丝毫的畏惧。

With over four thousand Yōu individuals, the daily generated愿力精粹 had reached a significant level. Under Li Ping's deliberate manipulation, this power formed a golden net centered around his heart.

yīn wèi zài tā tǐ nèi ， qián fú liú tǎng zhe yī gǔ xún cháng xiū shì wú fǎ chá jué de lì liàng 。

因为在他体内，潜伏流淌着一股寻常修士无法察觉的力量。

Source energy continuously flowed like a river, and even without using his cultivation, Li Fan could perform various incredible feats with just a gesture.

jī hū chāo yuè fán sú de jīn sè hào dàng zhī lì 。

几乎超越凡俗的金色浩荡之力。

For instance, he could trace the source of the source energy at any moment, instantly returning to the Great启 Holy Empire no matter where in the Xuanhuang Realm. Even if other forces interfered, they could only delay his return but not stop it entirely.

yōu zú rén de péi yù jì huà jìn zhǎn de hěn shùn lì 。

幽族人的培育计划进展的很顺利。

Moreover, when under attack, this golden net would spontaneously defend and retaliate.

shèn zhì zhí jiē shěng qù le ròu tǐ de shēng zhǎng guò chéng ， zhǐ yào dàn shēng xià lái ， jiù shì yí gè chéng shú de 、 shēn tǐ gè xiàng jī néng zhuàng tài dá dào diān fēng de gè tǐ 。

甚至直接省去了肉体的生长过程，只要诞生下来，就是一个成熟的、身体各项机能状态达到巅峰的个体。

With the scale of power within him now, Emperor Li Ping was confident that even a Transcendent Realm immortal from the Xuanhuang Realm couldn't leave any trace on him.

suī rán yóu cǐ dài lái de bì duān ， shì shòu mìng jìn yí bù de jiàng dī ， yù qī zhǐ yǒu sān dào wǔ nián de shí jiān 。

虽然由此带来的弊端，是寿命进一步的降低，预期只有三到五年的时间。

Of course, apart from transmitting techniques.

dàn zhǐ yào xuè ròu gōng chǎng yuán yuán bù duàn de shēng chǎn ， jiù néng bǎo zhèng shèng cháo quān yǎng de 、 zhōng chéng wèi shèng huáng qí dǎo de yōu zú rén de guī mó shù liàng 。

但只要血肉工厂源源不断的生产，就能保证圣朝圈养的、忠诚为圣皇祈祷的幽族人的规模数量。

This was his confidence in venturing into the Dark Sea. Through Elder Yin's world soul force, they were communicating back and forth.

yōu zú rén kǒu tū pò sì wèi shù zhī hòu ， měi rì shēng chéng de yuàn lì jīng cuì yǐ jīng dào dá le xiāng dāng kě guān de chéng dù 。

幽族人口突破四位数之后，每日生成的愿力精粹已经到达了相当可观的程度。

"Have you not sensed anything strange here?" Elder Yin’s voice was intermittent; he had no idea where his body was.

zài lǐ píng de kè yì cāo zòng biān zhī xià ， yú tǐ nèi yǐ xīn zàng wèi zhōng xīn ， xíng chéng le yī zhāng jīn sè jù wǎng 。

在李平的刻意操纵编织下，于体内以心脏为中心，形成了一张金色巨网。

"It is pitch black, with nothing else," Emperor Li Ping said solemnly.

yuán lì jīng cuì rú cháng hé bēn téng bù jué ， rú jīn de shèng huáng lǐ píng ， jí biàn bù dòng yòng zì jǐ xiū wèi 。 yě néng jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān shī zhǎn chū zhǒng zhǒng bù kě sī yì shén tōng 。

源力精粹如长河奔腾不绝，如今的圣皇李平，即便不动用自己修为。也能举手投足间施展出种种不可思议神通。

"Oh yes, that reminds me. You are different from me, so it's normal for you to hear none of these sounds. The whispers of various figures and eras in the Xuanhuang Realm have been reverberating here..."

jiù bǐ rú ， tā yí niàn zhī jiān ， jiù kě zhuī sù yuán lì jīng cuì de lái yuán 、 wú lùn shēn chù xuán huáng jiè hé dì ， dōu néng shùn jiān huí dào shèng cháo dà qǐ zhī zhōng 。 jí biàn zhōu wéi yǒu bié de lì liàng gān shè ， yě zuì néng jiù shì yán huǎn huí guī de sù dù 。 wú fǎ wán quán zǔ zhǐ tā huí guī de guò chéng 。

就比如，他一念之间，就可追溯源力精粹的来源、无论身处玄黄界何地，都能瞬间回到圣朝大启之中。即便周围有别的力量干涉，也最能就是延缓回归的速度。无法完全阻止他回归的过程。

With Elder Yin’s explanation, Li Fan finally understood what he meant by strange.

bìng qiě ， zài tā shòu dào gōng jī de shí hòu ， yuán lì jīng cuì jù wǎng huì zì fā hù wèi 、 fǎn jī 。

并且，在他受到攻击的时候，源力精粹巨网会自发护卫、反击。

The Dark Domain was a collection of forces that had deviated from the Xuanhuang Realm's power.

yǐ rú jīn tā tǐ nèi jīn sè jù wǎng de lì liàng guī mó ， shèng huáng lǐ píng hěn què xìn ， jí biàn shì xuán huáng jiè cháng shēng xiū shì chū shǒu ， yě liú bù xià tā 。

以如今他体内金色巨网的力量规模，圣皇李平很确信，即便是玄黄界长生修士出手，也留不下他。

These originally belonged to the Xuanhuang Realm. They were attracted to the Dark Domain for unknown reasons and brought with them some "information"—possibly sounds, images, or even complete divine thoughts.

dāng rán chuán fǎ lùn wài 。

当然传法论外。

Over time, these were suppressed by the domain’s forces and sank into the Dark Sea.

zhè yě shì tā cǐ cì qīn zì shè xiǎn 、 lái dào yōu àn zhī hǎi de dǐ qì suǒ zài 。

这也是他此次亲自涉险、来到幽暗之海的底气所在。

"So, the Dark Sea is actually quite lively," Li Fan mused.

tōng guò yīn shàng rén shì jiè yōu hún de lì liàng ， liǎng rén zhèng nǐ yī yán 、 wǒ yī yǔ de jìn xíng gōu tōng 。

通过殷上人世界幽魂的力量，两人正你一言、我一语的进行沟通。

"Can't really say that. The nature of this place ensures all information remains silent. I could only access these fragments through absorption. You asked why Yōu people have such unique bodies? I think I know the answer."

“ nǐ méi yǒu gǎn shòu dào zhè lǐ de gǔ guài me ？” yīn shàng rén de shēng yīn duàn duàn xù xù ， tā de běn tǐ bù zhī dào qù le hé fāng 。

“你没有感受到这里的古怪么？”殷上人的声音断断续续，他的本体不知道去了何方。

With those words, Li Fan felt a surge behind him as Elder Yin suddenly appeared.

“ yī piàn qī hēi ， chú cǐ zhī wài 、 shén me yě méi yǒu 。” shèng huáng lǐ píng chén shēng dào 。

“一片漆黑，除此之外、什么也没有。”圣皇李平沉声道。

Contrary to the dark surroundings, he stood out like a small whirlpool in the sea, allowing Li Fan to clearly "see" him.

“ āi ， duì le 。 nǐ gēn wǒ bù yí yàng ， tīng bú dào zhè xiē shēng yīn yě zhèng cháng 。 céng jīng xuán huáng jiè gè gè shí dài 、 gè gè rén wù de dī dī xù yǔ ， dōu zài zhè yōu àn zhī hǎi zhōng qǐ qǐ fú fú ……”

“哎，对了。你跟我不一样，听不到这些声音也正常。曾经玄黄界各个时代、各个人物的低低絮语，都在这幽暗之海中起起伏伏……”

"If we consider the Xuanhuang Realm's power as an attraction, then the forces maintaining the Dark Domain can be seen as repulsion. This repulsive force isn't always present; it manifests and washes over periodically, like tides. The cumulative effect on a timescale forms this unique existence in the Xuanhuang Realm."

zài yīn shàng rén de jiě shì xià ， lǐ píng zǒng suàn zhī dào le tā suǒ shuō de gǔ guài shì zěn me yī huí shì 。

在殷上人的解释下，李平总算知道了他所说的古怪是怎么一回事。

Elder Yin’s tone was filled with wonder.

yōu jiè shì xuán huáng jiè bèi lí xiān xū lì liàng de jí hé 。

幽界是玄黄界背离仙墟力量的集合。

Previously, he had only vaguely known about this area but hadn’t studied it systematically.

zhè xiē yuán běn shì xuán huáng jiè de yī bù fèn ， zài yīn wèi mò míng yuán yīn bèi xī yǐn lái dào yōu jiè de tóng shí ， yě tóng bù dài lái de yī xiē “ xìn xī ”。 yǒu kě néng shì yī duàn shēng yīn ， yě yǒu kě néng shì jǐ fú huà miàn 。

这些原本是玄黄界的一部分，在因为莫名原因被吸引来到幽界的同时，也同步带来的一些“信息”。有可能是一段声音，也有可能是几幅画面。

This deep dive into the Dark Sea had left him deeply impressed by its wonders.

shèn zhì hái yǒu kě néng shì yī dào wán zhěng de shén niàn 。

甚至还有可能是一道完整的神念。

"If I'm correct, this periodic spontaneous repulsion should be from the Floating Tranquil Star Array of the Ancient Xuan Heaven Sect!"

rì jī yuè lěi ， bèi cǐ dì de lì liàng yā zhì ， jìn shù chén mò yú yōu àn zhī hǎi zhōng 。

日积月累，被此地的力量压制，尽数沉没于幽暗之海中。

Speaking of this array, Elder Yin’s tone suddenly became somewhat ambiguous. It seemed he was recalling some unpleasant memories.

“ yuán lái ， yōu àn zhī hǎi qí shí hái rè nào de hěn 。” lǐ píng ruò yǒu suǒ sī dào 。

“原来，幽暗之海其实还热闹的很。”李平若有所思道。

But quickly, he suppressed his personal emotions and continued analyzing: "So it is as I thought; floating and floating, how can you remain afloat in the boundless star sea if you cannot resist the Xuanhuang Realm's attraction?"

“ yě bù néng zhè me shuō 。 cǐ dì tè xìng ， jiù zhù dìng shǐ de yī qiè xìn xī chén jì 。 wǒ yě shì tōng guò xī shōu de fāng fǎ ， cái néng jiē chù dào zhè xiē shí guāng suì piàn de 。 nǐ bú shì wèn wǒ yōu zú rén zhī suǒ yǐ tǐ zhì tè shū de yuán yīn me ？ wǒ xiǎng wǒ zhī dào dá àn le 。”

“也不能这么说。此地特性，就注定使得一切信息沉寂。我也是通过吸收的方法，才能接触到这些时光碎片的。你不是问我幽族人之所以体质特殊的原因么？我想我知道答案了。”

"Compared to the golden chains capturing other worlds, this method seems more like salvaging resources and strengthening oneself. It’s just a byproduct."

suí zhe zhè jù huà ， lǐ píng zhǐ gǎn jué zì jǐ shēn hòu de hēi àn yī zhèn fān yǒng 。

随着这句话，李平只感觉自己身后的黑暗一阵翻涌。

"It is indeed a great array that shook the ancient world of the Xuanhuang Realm. However, now that the main array has been damaged, if I'm not mistaken, each activation of this repulsion requires the sacrifice of the Xuanhuang Realm's essence. In the past, the Xuanhuang Realm could capture other worlds to offset these costs."

què shì yīn shàng rén tū rán xiàn shēn 。

却是殷上人突然现身。

"But times have changed. Not only can't we supply the Dark Domain with its repulsive force, but even our own realm is in peril."

gēn zhè lǐ de yōu àn gé gé bù rù ， tā shēn biān nà wǎn rú hǎi zhōng xì xiǎo wō xuán zhuàng tài 、 shǐ de lǐ fán néng gòu qīng xī de “ kàn dào ” le tā 。

跟这里的幽暗格格不入，他身边那宛如海中细小涡旋状态、使得李凡能够清晰的“看到”了他。

Elder Yin revealed a rare hint of schadenfreude.
