yōu jiè xiāng guān nǎi shì xiān méng jué mì ， guān yú qí tā gèng duō de xìn xī ， zhè wèi wàn xiān méng shǐ zhě yě shì zhī zhī liáo liáo 。
幽界相关乃是仙盟绝密，关于其他更多的信息，这位万仙盟使者也是知之寥寥。
The Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm was quietly sent out of the Dark Sea to seek enlightenment, without informing anyone in the Heavenly Dynasty.
wèi le fáng zhǐ dǎ cǎo jīng shé ， lǐ píng yě jiù méi yǒu zài zài tā shēn shàng dòng shǒu jiǎo 。
为了防止打草惊蛇，李平也就没有再在他身上动手脚。
But how could this be hidden from the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm?
děng dào míng wèi jiǎ sù de xiān méng shǐ zhě zhú jiàn sū xǐng zhī hòu ， què shì gēn běn méi yǒu yì shí dào zì jǐ nǎo hǎi zhōng de jī mì yǐ jīng bèi yǎn qián rén kàn le jīng guāng 。
等到名为贾宿的仙盟使者逐渐苏醒之后，却是根本没有意识到自己脑海中的机密已经被眼前人看了精光。
With His insistence, a fragment of consciousness was detached and attached to the puppet body. Together, they left the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm and ventured into the depths of the star sea.
hái zài shèng zàn dào ：“ jiào zhǔ zhè piān shén gōng ， guǒ rán bù tóng fán xiǎng 。 jí biàn shì wǒ dú zhī ， yě bù zhī bù jué xiàn rù wàng wǒ zhī jìng 。”
还在盛赞道：“教主这篇神功，果然不同凡响。即便是我读之，也不知不觉陷入忘我之境。”
Different from their previous goal, this time, the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm came for "learning the Dao"!
lǐ píng hē hē yī xiào ：“ ruò shì néng duì xiān méng yǒu yòng ， nà zhēn shì zài hǎo bù guò 。 zhǐ bù guò ， zhè měi nián shàng jiāo de yuán lì bǐ lì ， shì bú shì kě yǐ zài shāng liáng xià ？”
李平呵呵一笑：“若是能对仙盟有用，那真是再好不过。只不过，这每年上交的源力比例，是不是可以再商量下？”
Before the Dark Sea's collapse, its uppermost Dao Law would surpass that of the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm. Although the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm had survived to this day, it hadn't undergone any spiritual refinement over a long period.
huà hái wèi shuō wán ， xiān méng shǐ zhě què shì liǎn sè wēi wēi yī biàn ， yǔ zhòng xīn cháng de shuō dào ：“ jiào zhǔ ， fán shì dōu hǎo shāng liáng 。 wéi dú xiān méng de chāi shì ， mǎ hǔ bù dé a 。”
话还未说完，仙盟使者却是脸色微微一变，语重心长的说道：“教主，凡事都好商量。唯独仙盟的差事，马虎不得啊。”
Considering the consumption of numerous fragments of cultivation realms, although they were occupied by cultivators, overall, they still slightly increased compared to before.
shǐ zhě yóu yù le huì ， yā dī le shēng yīn dào ：“ shí huà gēn nǐ shuō ba ， běn lái zhè cì shàng miàn hái dǎ suàn zài duō zhēng shōu diǎn de ……”
使者犹豫了会，压低了声音道：“实话跟你说吧，本来这次上面还打算再多征收点的……”
In contrast, the new-born Dao in the Dark Sea was naturally one level higher than that of the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
kàn zhe lǐ píng nán kàn zhì jí 、 fǎng fú suí shí huì bào dòng de shén qíng ， shǐ zhě lián máng ān fǔ dào ：“ bù guò jiào zhǔ nǐ xiàn zài bú shì yǒu gōng me ？ wǒ qù shì zhe shuō shuō kàn ， yīng gāi néng jiǎn miǎn yī xiē ……”
看着李平难看至极、仿佛随时会暴动的神情，使者连忙安抚道：“不过教主你现在不是有功么？我去试着说说看，应该能减免一些……”
Indeed...
bù dài lǐ píng fā zuò ， xiān mén shǐ zhě biàn huǒ sù gào cí lí qù le 。
不待李平发作，仙门使者便火速告辞离去了。
For the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm, observing these newborn entities in the Dark Sea would also be a great opportunity.
shèng huáng liǎn shàng de yùn nù màn màn xiāo shī ， zhuǎn ér shì wú bǐ de píng jìng 。
圣皇脸上的愠怒慢慢消失，转而是无比的平静。
Before, there were no trustworthy candidates for possession and no method to escape the pull of the Celestial Vortex. Therefore, even if the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm had this intention, it couldn't be implemented specifically.
liú xià kuǐ lěi ， jì xù kān shǒu líng yuán jiào zhòng ， lǐ píng zé shì fǎn huí le shèng cháo 。
留下傀儡，继续看守灵元教众，李平则是返回了圣朝。
But with the presence of the Heavenly Mandate Saint Emperor, everything was different now.
nà piān liú gěi wàn xiān méng de xuán gōng ， de dí què què shì néng gèng hǎo kāi fā xiū shì tǐ nèi yuán lì de shàng pǐn fǎ mén ， bìng qiě méi yǒu liú rèn hé de hòu shǒu 。
那篇留给万仙盟的玄功，的的确确是能更好开发修士体内源力的上品法门，并且没有留任何的后手。
Empress Eileen fully handed over control of the puppet body to the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
bì jìng shì shè yōu àn zhī hǎi ， xiān méng bù kě néng bù jǐn shèn duì dài 、 fǎn fù yàn zhèng 。
毕竟事涉幽暗之海，仙盟不可能不谨慎对待、反复验证。
She merely served as an observer, experiencing and contemplating.
ér lǐ píng zhī suǒ yǐ jiāng zhè piān fǎ mén chuán gěi wàn xiān méng ， yě zhǐ shì yīn wèi tā zuò wéi fǎ mén de chuàng zào zhě 、 néng gòu dà zhì gǎn yìng dào yùn zhuàn cǐ fǎ mén de xiū shì de xiāng yìng wèi zhì 。 shèn zhì zhè xiē xiū shì zài cǐ fǎ mén jiā chí xià xiū xíng chū de yuán lì ， tā yě néng gǎn zhī dào 。
而李平之所以将这篇法门传给万仙盟，也只是因为他作为法门的创造者、能够大致感应到运转此法门的修士的相应位置。甚至这些修士在此法门加持下修行出的源力，他也能感知到。
This simple act alone would be almost impossible for any other cultivator in the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
yōu àn zhī hǎi ， wú jìn qī hēi ， tūn mò yī qiè 。 jí biàn shì yōu zú rén ， yě zhǐ shì zài tā men suǒ shú xī de qū yù nèi háng dòng 。
幽暗之海，无尽漆黑，吞没一切。即便是幽族人，也只是在他们所熟悉的区域内行动。
Like a child who hadn't ventured out for a long time, seeing something breathtakingly beautiful.
xiǎng yào zhǎo dào wàn xiān méng dīng rù yōu àn zhī hǎi de “ guàn chuān zhī qiāng ”， zì rán xū yào yì diǎn diǎn de shǒu duàn 。
想要找到万仙盟钉入幽暗之海的“贯穿之枪”，自然需要一点点的手段。
Empress Eileen felt the joy and excitement from the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm...
bù guò děng zhè fǎ mén tuī guǎng kāi lái ， hái xū yào yī duàn shí jiān 。
不过等这法门推广开来，还需要一段时间。
...and the increasingly bright Dark Sea.
lǐ píng xiān jì xù cǐ qián wèi jìng de kuǐ lěi shēn qū xuán huáng wài wù dào jì huà 。
李平先继续此前未竟的傀儡身躯玄黄外悟道计划。
Although it was somewhat exaggerated to say "bright," there were occasional flickers of light in this originally pitch-black and lifeless star sea.
jīng guò zhè xiē rì zi zuì hòu de diāo zhuó ， nà kuǐ lěi shēn qū yǐ jīng wán quán fú hé le shèng huáng de yāo qiú 。
经过这些日子最后的雕琢，那傀儡身躯已经完全符合了圣皇的要求。
The puppet body seemed to vanish, and Empress Eileen's perspective zoomed out infinitely.
shèn zhì měi měi yì shí jiàng lín dào tā zhī shàng de shí hòu ， dōu bú huì bù zì jué yǒng chū gǎi huàn shēn tǐ de běn néng chōng dòng ， yù fā qiáng liè 。
甚至每每意识降临到它之上的时候，都不会不自觉涌出改换身体的本能冲动，愈发强烈。
At the center of the entire Dark Sea, not spatially but biologically, appeared before her eyes.
lǐ píng yīn cǐ yě jiàng dī le shì yàn zhè jù kuǐ lěi shēn qū de pín lǜ 。
李平因此也降低了试验这具傀儡身躯的频率。
It was like a faint heartbeat, weak yet undoubtedly representing life, hope, and the future.
ér zài hóng zé jiè zhōng sōu jí dào de dà liàng kōng míng liú jīng ， yě zú yǐ ràng tā bǎi tuō xiān xū de xī lì 、 chéng gōng fēi chū xuán huáng 。
而在洪泽界中搜集到的大量空明流晶，也足以让他摆脱仙墟的吸力、成功飞出玄黄。
Empress Eileen and the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm arrived at the heart's feet.
méi yǒu gào sù rèn hé rén ， zài zhèn fǎ yǐ jí xuán huáng tiān dào qì xī de zhē yǎn xià ， hóng guāng qiāo wú shēng xī de fēi xiàng le tiān qióng 。
没有告诉任何人，在阵法以及玄黄天道气息的遮掩下，虹光悄无声息的飞向了天穹。
They greedily absorbed the复苏 force emanating from the beating heart of the star sea.
zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān ， jiù lái dào le shì jiè biān chuí 。
转瞬之间，就来到了世界边陲。
In an instant, countless scenes flooded her mind.
shī qù le xuán huáng bì yòu zhī hòu ， lái zì xiān xū de páng dà xī lì ， ràng lǐ píng bù yóu miàn sè wēi biàn 。
失去了玄黄庇佑之后，来自仙墟的庞大吸力，让李平不由面色微变。
There was the destruction of worlds, the rise and fall of the star sea. There were thriving beings, responding to the heavens' will. And there were ominous shadows like terrifying beasts, lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce at any moment...
zhī xiǎo zhēn xiān zhī lì de cún zài 、 gēn qiè shēn shí dì de tǐ huì dào ， wán quán shì liǎng mǎ shì 。
知晓真仙之力的存在、跟切身实地的体会到，完全是两码事。
Despite all these changes and constants, after the collapse, the Dark Sea still persistently tried to regenerate.
zhǐ yǒu zhēn zhèng miàn duì zhè hào rú shān hǎi de zhēn xiān shén wēi ， cái huì míng bái zì shēn de miǎo xiǎo zhī chù 。
只有真正面对这浩如山海的真仙神威，才会明白自身的渺小之处。
This was undoubtedly its original Dao Law, but it was also a touching determination that made one's eyes well up with tears.
jí biàn tā shèng huáng yǐ jīng shì xuán huáng jiè mù qián shí lì shǔ yī shǔ èr de cún zài ， yì shì rú cǐ 。
即便他圣皇已经是玄黄界目前实力数一数二的存在，亦是如此。
Unable to bear the sheer magnitude of the star sea's primordial Dao intent, the puppet body began to crumble inch by inch.
“ dào zǔ qiě zhǎng 。”
“道阻且长。”
But Empress Eileen and the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm were neither worried nor fearful at this moment.
shèng huáng xīn zhōng wēi wēi yī tàn ， yī cì shì fàng chū hóng guāng ， dǐ xiāo zhe xiān xū xī lì 。
圣皇心中微微一叹，依次释放出虹光，抵消着仙墟吸力。
"Compared to the entire Dark Sea, what tribulations has the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm suffered?"
kuǐ lěi shēn qū què shì jí sù cháo zhe xiāng fǎn de fāng xiàng fēi dùn ér qù 。
傀儡身躯却是急速朝着相反的方向飞遁而去。
"The star sea can still regenerate from its destruction. The Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm will surely do so as well."
xuán huáng jiè de guāng máng zhú jiàn àn dàn xià lái ， zhōu zāo zhǐ shèng xià yī piàn hēi àn 。
玄黄界的光芒逐渐黯淡下来，周遭只剩下一片黑暗。
They seized their last opportunity to engrave more insights into their minds.
gēn yōu àn zhī hǎi de hēi bù tóng ， xīng hǎi zhōng shì chè chè dǐ dǐ de sǐ jì 。
跟幽暗之海的黑不同，星海中是彻彻底底的死寂。
Empress Eileen knew that the primordial Dao intent of the Dark Sea was beyond her current comprehension.
yǐ jí ……
以及……
The so-called enlightenment she experienced was merely a blind man feeling an elephant, seeing only a small part of it.
jí biàn qián fāng sì hū shén me dōu bù cún zài ， dàn shèng huáng běn néng de chá jué dào ， nà lǐ sì hū yǒu wēi xiǎn zài děng dài zhe zì jǐ 。
即便前方似乎什么都不存在，但圣皇本能的察觉到，那里似乎有危险在等待着自己。
But even this insignificant portion held great significance for them.
yú shì guǒ duàn zhuǎn le gè wān ， rào guò le nà kuài qū yù 。
于是果断转了个弯，绕过了那块区域。
Just as the puppet body was about to completely disintegrate and vanish,
zhī hòu de lù tú ， zhì àn zhī hǎi zhōng měi měi yǒu shén me huì duì tā zào chéng wēi xié de sì nüè cán cún xiān lì ， tā dōu néng wèi bǔ xiān zhī bān ， tí qián rào kāi 。
之后的路途，至暗之海中每每有什么会对他造成威胁的肆虐残存仙力，他都能未卜先知般，提前绕开。
the original consciousness of the regenerating star sea seemed to sense Empress Eileen's presence and the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
jiù xiàng tā bú shì dì yī cì tà zú zhè piàn xīng hǎi bān 。
就像他不是第一次踏足这片星海般。
It cast a fleeting glance at her.
shèng huáng kuǐ lěi shēn qū mī zhuó yǎn ， shùn zhe míng míng zhōng de gǎn yìng ， jì xù shēn rù zhì àn zhī hǎi 。
圣皇傀儡身躯眯着眼，顺着冥冥中的感应，继续深入至暗之海。
Clearly, the fragile puppet body couldn't withstand this immense force.
tā yǐ jīng gǎn shòu dào le ， xīng hǎi zhōng fǎ zé shàng xiàn bǐ qǐ xuán huáng jiè yào gāo zhè yī shì shí 。
他已经感受到了，星海中法则上限比起玄黄界要高这一事实。
It was annihilated by the vast power.
dàn tā de mù dì dì ， bú shì nà jiàn guāng chuán xùn suǒ shuō de gāo qiáng jiǎo xià 。
但他的目的地，不是那剑光传讯所说的高墙脚下。
But before its consciousness disappeared,
ér shì zhè piàn zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng ， xīn de shàng xiàn fǎ zé zhèng zài yùn yù de dì fāng 。
而是这片至暗星海中，新的上限法则正在孕育的地方。
Empress Eileen saw a blurry image through the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
zài nà lǐ ， wù dào de xiào lǜ jiāng huì zuì gāo 。
在那里，悟道的效率将会最高。
The figure appeared and vanished too quickly for Empress Eileen to be certain if it was just her imagination.
hóng guāng jí sù chuān suō ， fǎng fú méi yǒu le shí jiān liú shì de gài niàn 。
虹光急速穿梭，仿佛没有了时间流逝的概念。
The collapse of the Dao, the destruction of the star sea, and the spread of calamities...
shèng huáng zhú jiàn bǎi tuō le xīn zhōng yù gǎn de zhǐ yǐn ， ér shì shùn zhe sǐ jì xīng hǎi zhōng ， mò míng yǒng dòng de xuán qí yùn lǜ ， gǎi biàn le zì shēn qián jìn de fāng xiàng 。
圣皇逐渐摆脱了心中预感的指引，而是顺着死寂星海中，莫名涌动的玄奇韵律，改变了自身前进的方向。
A figure emerged from the darkness, his face indistinct as he faded away completely.
jiù xiàng zhēn de shēn chù dà hǎi yì bān ， zhǎo dào le wèi yú píng jìng hǎi miàn zhī xià de jī liè yáng liú 。
就像真的身处大海一般，找到了位于平静海面之下的激烈洋流。
Only his light laughter lingered in this star sea about to be engulfed by disaster.
sù dù dǒu rán bào zēng ， chà nà qiān wàn wàn lǐ 。
速度陡然暴增，刹那千万万里。
"None of my concern..."
zhōu zāo jù lì sī chě ， jí biàn shì hù shēn de hóng guāng ， yě zài zhè wèi zhī de wěi lì chě nòng xià zhī lí pò suì 。
周遭巨力撕扯，即便是护身的虹光，也在这未知的伟力扯弄下支离破碎。
"Haha..."
lǐ píng xīn wú páng wù ， shì shēn yǔn wēi jī rú wú wù ， jìng xīn gǎn wù zhe zhōu wéi nà zài xuán huáng jiè zhōng cóng wèi jiàn shí guò de xuán qí biàn huà 。
李平心无旁骛，视身陨危机如无物，静心感悟着周围那在玄黄界中从未见识过的玄奇变化。
Boom!
“ pò miè yǔ xīn shēng 。”
“破灭与新生。”
Empress Eileen suddenly returned to reality, coughing out a mouthful of golden blood.
“ xuán huáng jiè zhōng rén ， kàn zhè piàn sǐ jì de xīng kōng ， wèi zhì àn xīng hǎi 。 dàn shì zài wú rén zhī xiǎo zhōng ， shēng jī yě zhèng zài qí zhōng huǎn huǎn fù sū 。”
“玄黄界中人，看这片死寂的星空，为至暗星海。但是在无人知晓中，生机也正在其中缓缓复苏。”
The cat, still sleeping, perked up and flew over to the floating blood, swallowing it whole.
“ zhǐ bù guò ， mù qián hái shì zuì wèi yuán chū de jiē duàn 。 ér qiě zhěng gè guò chéng tài guò huǎn màn ， yǐ 【 rén 】 de shì jiǎo qù guān chá ， zhù dìng shì jí nán chá jué de 。”
“只不过，目前还是最为原初的阶段。而且整个过程太过缓慢，以【人】的视角去观察，注定是极难察觉的。”
"Miao! Miao!"
“ zhè gēn wù xìng wú guān 。 chún cuì shì bù tóng chǐ dù xià ， bù tóng shēng mìng xíng tài zhù dìng huì chǎn shēng de qū bié ……”
“这跟悟性无关。纯粹是不同尺度下，不同生命形态注定会产生的区别……”
It seemed the cat was trying to appease Empress Eileen by meowing several times.
“ dàn ……”
“但……”
Empress Eileen used her golden source force to slowly repair her injuries without reproaching the cat.
yī gǔ qí tè de yùn lǜ ， zài shèng huáng kuǐ lěi shēn qū shàng huǎn huǎn sū xǐng 。
一股奇特的韵律，在圣皇傀儡身躯上缓缓苏醒。
Her mind was focused on that scene.
nà shì shǔ yú xuán huáng tiān dào de dú tè qì xī ！
那是属于玄黄天道的独特气息！
"That figure..."
méi cuò ， zhè cì shèng huáng qiāo qiāo jiāng kuǐ lěi shēn qū sòng chū xuán huáng jiè wù dào ， méi yǒu ràng shèng cháo nèi de rèn hé rén zhī xiǎo 。
没错，这次圣皇悄悄将傀儡身躯送出玄黄界悟道，没有让圣朝内的任何人知晓。
Empress Eileen's expression was grave.
dàn què yòu zěn me néng mán guò xuán huáng tiān dào ？
但却又怎么能瞒过玄黄天道？
Only such a person would be remembered by this star sea, even as it regenerated from its destruction.
zài tā de zhí yì yāo qiú xià ， bào zhe yǒu qù wú huí de jué rán zhī yì ， fēn chū yī sī yì shí 、 fù zhuó zài le kuǐ lěi shēn qū shàng 。
在祂的执意要求下，抱着有去无回的决然之意，分出一丝意识、附着在了傀儡身躯上。
Just a brief presence in her thoughts had Empress Eileen sensing an impending crisis.
gēn suí zhe yì qǐ lí kāi le xuán huáng ， lái dào le xīng hǎi shēn chù 。
跟随着一起离开了玄黄，来到了星海深处。
She immediately felt alarmed and forced herself not to think about it anymore.
gēn ruò gān nián qián de mù dì bù tóng 。
跟若干年前的目的不同。
But soon, she realized that her concerns were unfounded.
zhè yī cì ， xuán huáng tiān dào ， yě shì wèi le “ xué dào ” ér lái ！
这一次，玄黄天道，也是为了“学道”而来！
Even without actively trying to forget, the memory of that figure was slowly fading on its own.
zhì àn xīng hǎi zài pò miè zhī qián ， shàng xiàn fǎ zé jiù yào chāo chū xuán huáng 。
至暗星海在破灭之前，上限法则就要超出玄黄。
"This situation..."
rú jīn xuán huáng jiè suī rán gǒu huó zhì jīn ， dàn běn shēn shí lì zài màn cháng shí jiān lǐ ， què bìng méi yǒu shēng huá 。
如今玄黄界虽然苟活至今，但本身实力在漫长时间里，却并没有升华。
"It's close but hasn't reached the realm of a nameless true cultivator."
kǎo lǜ dào tūn shì le zhū duō xiū xiān jiè cán piàn ， suī rán bèi xiū shì tūn zhàn ， dàn zǒng tǐ shàng xiàng jiào zhī qián réng shì lüè wēi zēng zhǎng 。
考虑到吞噬了诸多修仙界残片，虽然被修士吞占，但总体上相较之前仍是略微增长。
Empress Eileen savored the newly regenerated star sea, trying to grasp what it wanted to convey in that moment.
ér zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng ， zhèng zài yùn yù de xīn shēng dào zé ， què shì tiān rán bǐ qǐ xuán huáng jiè yào gāo zhī yī děng 。
而至暗星海中，正在孕育的新生道则，却是天然比起玄黄界要高之一等。
"If I'm not mistaken, the culprit behind all these calamities in the star sea is likely this very one..."
gù rán ……
固然……
Empress Eileen frowned as she tried to capture the fading memory.
duì yú xuán huáng jiè ér yán ， guān mó zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng zhè xiē xīn shēng tǐ ， duì tā ér yán ， tóng yàng shì yī zhuāng dà jī yuán 。
对于玄黄界而言，观摩至暗星海中这些新生体，对祂而言，同样是一桩大机缘。
In the end, only four words remained: "None of my concern."
zhī qián yī shì méi yǒu zhí de xìn lài de fù tǐ xiū shì rén xuǎn ， èr shì méi yǒu bǎi tuō xiān xū xī lì de fāng fǎ 。
之前一是没有值得信赖的附体修士人选，二是没有摆脱仙墟吸力的方法。
"Concernless Immortal." Empress Eileen's expression was inexplicable.
suǒ yǐ zòng shǐ xuán huáng jiè tiān dào yǒu zhè ge dǎ suàn ， yě wú fǎ jù tǐ shí shī 。
所以纵使玄黄界天道有这个打算，也无法具体实施。
Seated on his throne, Empress Eileen sat in silence for a long time.
dàn zhè yī cì ， yǒu tiān mìng shèng huáng de cún zài ， yī qiè jiù biàn dé bù yí yàng le 。
但这一次，有天命圣皇的存在，一切就变得不一样了。
The cat seemed to sense something and lowered its body, surveying its surroundings with alertness, as if searching for the existence that made Empress Eileen so wary.
lǐ píng yě wán quán jiāng kuǐ lěi shēn qū de kòng zhì quán ， jiāo gěi le xuán huáng tiān dào 。
李平也完全将傀儡身躯的控制权，交给了玄黄天道。
But it found nothing.
zì jǐ zhǐ shì zuò wéi yí gè páng guān zhě ， qù gǎn shòu 、 cān wù 。
自己只是作为一个旁观者，去感受、参悟。
The cat returned to its lazy state, falling asleep on Empress Eileen's shoulder.
jǐn jǐn shì zhè me jiǎn dān de yì diǎn ， huàn zuò xuán huáng jiè zhōng rèn yì qí tā xiū shì ， dōu jī hū nán yǐ zuò dào 。
仅仅是这么简单的一点，换做玄黄界中任意其他修士，都几乎难以做到。
Empress Eileen began digesting the收获 from this journey into the star sea.
yóu rú xǔ jiǔ méi yǒu wài chū de zhì tóng ， jiàn dào le lìng rén jīng tàn de měi jǐng 。
犹如许久没有外出的稚童，见到了令人惊叹的美景。
Not just her. The Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm also underwent changes during this long journey, much like a newly regenerated Dark Sea, quietly and unnoticed by others.
lǐ píng cóng xuán huáng tiān dào chù ， gǎn shòu dào le huān hū què yuè 、 jì dòng zhèn fèn ……
李平从玄黄天道处，感受到了欢呼雀跃、悸动振奋……
Only a few people in the world could sense these changes.
yǐ jí ， yuè lái yuè míng liàng de zhì àn xīng hǎi 。
以及，越来越明亮的至暗星海。
In Daxi, Shi Bo was chatting with someone at a teahouse when his expression changed as he looked towards the distance.
shuō shì míng liàng ， huò xǔ yǒu diǎn kuā zhāng 。
说是明亮，或许有点夸张。
In the Tranquil Life Space, Ruo Mu, pruning the withered branches of the ancient tree, stared in astonishment as new buds sprouted from the yellowing twigs.
zhǐ bù guò shì ǒu ěr chū xiàn ， xīng xīng diǎn diǎn de guāng máng bà le 。
只不过是偶尔出现，星星点点的光芒罢了。
Underground, the ancient tree felt an unprecedented surge of energy from the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm, like something was brewing. It left him both excited and fearful.
dàn zài zhè yuán běn qī hēi 、 sǐ jì yī piàn de xīng hǎi zhōng ， què shì nà yàng de xiǎn yǎn 。
但在这原本漆黑、死寂一片的星海中，却是那样的显眼。
...
kuǐ lěi shēn qū fǎng fú xiāo shī ， shì jiǎo měng dì suō fàng wú shù bèi 。
傀儡身躯仿佛消失，视角猛地缩放无数倍。
"Thousand sails pass by a sunken ship; ten thousand trees bloom before a sick one."
zhěng piàn zhì àn xīng hǎi de zhōng yāng ， bú shì kōng jiān yì yì shàng de “ zhōng yāng ”， ér shì shēng mìng yì yì shàng de zhōng yāng ， chū xiàn zài lǐ píng miàn qián 。
整片至暗星海的中央，不是空间意义上的“中央”，而是生命意义上的中央，出现在李平面前。
In the Derivation Method Jade space, Li Fan suddenly thought of these two lines of poetry.
wǎn ruò qīng wēi tiào dòng de xīn zàng ， suī rán wēi ruò ， què háo wú yí wèn dài biǎo zhe shēng mìng 、 dài biǎo zhe xī wàng 、 dài biǎo zhe wèi lái 。
宛若轻微跳动的心脏，虽然微弱，却毫无疑问代表着生命、代表着希望、代表着未来。
"It turns out that seeking enlightenment in the star sea through the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm yields the greatest benefits."
xuán huáng tiān dào yǔ lǐ píng ， zé shì lái dào le xīn zàng jiǎo xià 。
玄黄天道与李平，则是来到了心脏脚下。
"Because human perspective and Heavenly perspective are different."
tān lán de jué qǔ 、 xī shōu zhe ， yīn wèi tiào dòng ér cháo wài sàn fà de ， xīng hǎi de fù sū zhī lì 。
贪婪的攫取、吸收着，因为跳动而朝外散发的，星海的复苏之力。
"Just like how I understood the 'Formless Killing Opportunity' by using the Sea Pearl back then."
qǐng kè jiān ， wú shù huà miàn yǒng shàng xīn tóu 。
顷刻间，无数画面涌上心头。
"Creating this world to help the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm was a stroke of luck."
yǒu shì jiè pò miè ， xīng hǎi fú chén 。
有世界破灭，星海浮沉。
Empress Eileen felt elated.
yǒu shēng líng qiáng shèng ， dé tiān zhī yīng 。
有生灵强盛，得天之应。
Although her connection with Empress Eileen had weakened, she still understood some of their insights due to the immense impact from the star sea's primordial Dao intent.
hái yǒu rú tóng kě bù yě shòu de yīn yǐng ， hēi wù bān àn zhōng kuī tàn 、 suí shí huì měng pū shàng lái 。
还有如同可怖野兽的阴影，黑雾般暗中窥探、随时会猛扑上来。
The most crucial thing was that she now knew the method. With this method, in the next life, she could recreate it.
The Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm was quietly sent out of the Dark Sea to seek enlightenment, without informing anyone in the Heavenly Dynasty.
But how could this be hidden from the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm?
With His insistence, a fragment of consciousness was detached and attached to the puppet body. Together, they left the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm and ventured into the depths of the star sea.
Different from their previous goal, this time, the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm came for "learning the Dao"!
Before the Dark Sea's collapse, its uppermost Dao Law would surpass that of the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm. Although the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm had survived to this day, it hadn't undergone any spiritual refinement over a long period.
Considering the consumption of numerous fragments of cultivation realms, although they were occupied by cultivators, overall, they still slightly increased compared to before.
In contrast, the new-born Dao in the Dark Sea was naturally one level higher than that of the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
Indeed...
For the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm, observing these newborn entities in the Dark Sea would also be a great opportunity.
Before, there were no trustworthy candidates for possession and no method to escape the pull of the Celestial Vortex. Therefore, even if the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm had this intention, it couldn't be implemented specifically.
But with the presence of the Heavenly Mandate Saint Emperor, everything was different now.
Empress Eileen fully handed over control of the puppet body to the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
She merely served as an observer, experiencing and contemplating.
This simple act alone would be almost impossible for any other cultivator in the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
Like a child who hadn't ventured out for a long time, seeing something breathtakingly beautiful.
Empress Eileen felt the joy and excitement from the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm...
...and the increasingly bright Dark Sea.
Although it was somewhat exaggerated to say "bright," there were occasional flickers of light in this originally pitch-black and lifeless star sea.
The puppet body seemed to vanish, and Empress Eileen's perspective zoomed out infinitely.
At the center of the entire Dark Sea, not spatially but biologically, appeared before her eyes.
It was like a faint heartbeat, weak yet undoubtedly representing life, hope, and the future.
Empress Eileen and the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm arrived at the heart's feet.
They greedily absorbed the复苏 force emanating from the beating heart of the star sea.
In an instant, countless scenes flooded her mind.
There was the destruction of worlds, the rise and fall of the star sea. There were thriving beings, responding to the heavens' will. And there were ominous shadows like terrifying beasts, lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce at any moment...
Despite all these changes and constants, after the collapse, the Dark Sea still persistently tried to regenerate.
This was undoubtedly its original Dao Law, but it was also a touching determination that made one's eyes well up with tears.
Unable to bear the sheer magnitude of the star sea's primordial Dao intent, the puppet body began to crumble inch by inch.
But Empress Eileen and the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm were neither worried nor fearful at this moment.
"Compared to the entire Dark Sea, what tribulations has the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm suffered?"
"The star sea can still regenerate from its destruction. The Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm will surely do so as well."
They seized their last opportunity to engrave more insights into their minds.
Empress Eileen knew that the primordial Dao intent of the Dark Sea was beyond her current comprehension.
The so-called enlightenment she experienced was merely a blind man feeling an elephant, seeing only a small part of it.
But even this insignificant portion held great significance for them.
Just as the puppet body was about to completely disintegrate and vanish,
the original consciousness of the regenerating star sea seemed to sense Empress Eileen's presence and the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
It cast a fleeting glance at her.
Clearly, the fragile puppet body couldn't withstand this immense force.
It was annihilated by the vast power.
But before its consciousness disappeared,
Empress Eileen saw a blurry image through the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm.
The figure appeared and vanished too quickly for Empress Eileen to be certain if it was just her imagination.
The collapse of the Dao, the destruction of the star sea, and the spread of calamities...
A figure emerged from the darkness, his face indistinct as he faded away completely.
Only his light laughter lingered in this star sea about to be engulfed by disaster.
"None of my concern..."
"Haha..."
Boom!
Empress Eileen suddenly returned to reality, coughing out a mouthful of golden blood.
The cat, still sleeping, perked up and flew over to the floating blood, swallowing it whole.
"Miao! Miao!"
It seemed the cat was trying to appease Empress Eileen by meowing several times.
Empress Eileen used her golden source force to slowly repair her injuries without reproaching the cat.
Her mind was focused on that scene.
"That figure..."
Empress Eileen's expression was grave.
Only such a person would be remembered by this star sea, even as it regenerated from its destruction.
Just a brief presence in her thoughts had Empress Eileen sensing an impending crisis.
She immediately felt alarmed and forced herself not to think about it anymore.
But soon, she realized that her concerns were unfounded.
Even without actively trying to forget, the memory of that figure was slowly fading on its own.
"This situation..."
"It's close but hasn't reached the realm of a nameless true cultivator."
Empress Eileen savored the newly regenerated star sea, trying to grasp what it wanted to convey in that moment.
"If I'm not mistaken, the culprit behind all these calamities in the star sea is likely this very one..."
Empress Eileen frowned as she tried to capture the fading memory.
In the end, only four words remained: "None of my concern."
"Concernless Immortal." Empress Eileen's expression was inexplicable.
Seated on his throne, Empress Eileen sat in silence for a long time.
The cat seemed to sense something and lowered its body, surveying its surroundings with alertness, as if searching for the existence that made Empress Eileen so wary.
But it found nothing.
The cat returned to its lazy state, falling asleep on Empress Eileen's shoulder.
Empress Eileen began digesting the收获 from this journey into the star sea.
Not just her. The Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm also underwent changes during this long journey, much like a newly regenerated Dark Sea, quietly and unnoticed by others.
Only a few people in the world could sense these changes.
In Daxi, Shi Bo was chatting with someone at a teahouse when his expression changed as he looked towards the distance.
In the Tranquil Life Space, Ruo Mu, pruning the withered branches of the ancient tree, stared in astonishment as new buds sprouted from the yellowing twigs.
Underground, the ancient tree felt an unprecedented surge of energy from the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm, like something was brewing. It left him both excited and fearful.
...
"Thousand sails pass by a sunken ship; ten thousand trees bloom before a sick one."
In the Derivation Method Jade space, Li Fan suddenly thought of these two lines of poetry.
"It turns out that seeking enlightenment in the star sea through the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm yields the greatest benefits."
"Because human perspective and Heavenly perspective are different."
"Just like how I understood the 'Formless Killing Opportunity' by using the Sea Pearl back then."
"Creating this world to help the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm was a stroke of luck."
Empress Eileen felt elated.
Although her connection with Empress Eileen had weakened, she still understood some of their insights due to the immense impact from the star sea's primordial Dao intent.
The most crucial thing was that she now knew the method. With this method, in the next life, she could recreate it.
