suí zhe yōu àn zhī hǎi de yì dòng ， nà xiē guì le mǎn dì de yōu zú rén yě fǎng fú gǎn yìng dào le shén me shì de ， liǎn shàng de shén qíng yě biàn dé yuè fā diān kuáng yǔ qián chéng 。
随着幽暗之海的异动，那些跪了满地的幽族人也仿佛感应到了什么似的，脸上的神情也变得越发癫狂与虔诚。
With the movement in the Dark Sea, those dark族 people who had been kneeling on the ground seemed to sense something, their expressions becoming increasingly frenzied and devout.
wǎn ruò yī zhèn fēng ， zì yōu àn zhī hǎi gè fāng chuī lái ， jù jiāo zài le nà chù bèi wàn xiān méng zuān pò de xiǎo dòng fù jìn 。
宛若一阵风，自幽暗之海各方吹来，聚焦在了那处被万仙盟钻破的小洞附近。
A gust of wind blew from all directions in the Dark Sea, converging near the small hole that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had drilled through.
yā lì dǒu zēng ， wú xíng de lián yī zì chuāng kǒu kuò sàn ， céng céng wěi lì duī dié zhī xià ， lǐ píng de gǎn yìng zhī zhōng 、 dòng kǒu chù de píng wěn zhuàng tài shùn jiān bèi dǎ pò 。
压力陡增，无形的涟漪自创口扩散，层层伟力堆叠之下，李平的感应之中、洞口处的平稳状态瞬间被打破。
The pressure increased sharply. An invisible ripple spread from the wound, layer upon layer of formidable power stacking up until it disrupted Li Ping’s sense of stability at the entrance of the cave.
bèi níng jù yā suō de yuán lì ， shà shí jiān jié jié bài tuì 、 sì hū hěn kuài jiù yào bèi chè dǐ gǎn chū zhè piàn yōu àn zhī hǎi 。
被凝聚压缩的源力，霎时间节节败退、似乎很快就要被彻底赶出这片幽暗之海。
The condensed source energy seemed to retreat in an instant, as if about to be completely expelled from this Dark Sea.
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， lǐ píng jìng rán kàn dào ， zhè wú guāng zhī hǎi zhōng 、 hè rán guāng liàng le qǐ lái 。
然而就在此刻，李平竟然看到，这无光之海中、赫然光亮了起来。
However, just then, Li Ping saw something unexpected. The lightless sea suddenly brightened.
bìng fēi shì cǐ qián yīn wèi yōu àn zhī hǎi běn shēn lǜ dòng ér chǎn shēng de cuò jué ， ér shì de dí què què 、 yǒu guāng dàn shēng yú cǐ 。
并非是此前因为幽暗之海本身律动而产生的错觉，而是的的确确、有光诞生于此。
This was not a previous illusion caused by the movement of the Dark Sea itself; there was indeed light emanating here.
jīn sè de suàn pán ， dìng zhù le kuì bù chéng jūn de wàn xiān méng yuán lì 。 suàn zhū bō dòng ， yuán lì shū chū měng rán jiā dà ， yòu jiāng èr zhě wéi chí dào le píng héng zhuàng tài 。
金色的算盘，定住了溃不成军的万仙盟源力。算珠波动，源力输出猛然加大，又将二者维持到了平衡状态。
A golden abacus stabilized the collapsing Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance source energy. As the beads moved, the output of the source energy surged, restoring balance between them once again.
yōu àn zhī hǎi làng cháo tāo tāo ， juǎn qǐ zhèn zhèn làng huā 。 dàn què měi měi dōu bèi jīn sè suàn pán de yǎn suàn 、 diào yòng 、 tiáo jié suǒ wán měi huà jiě 。
幽暗之海浪潮涛涛，卷起阵阵浪花。但却每每都被金色算盘的衍算、调用、调节所完美化解。
The waves in the Dark Sea crashed and churned, but were perfectly neutralized by the calculations, calls, and adjustments from the golden abacus.
gèng ràng àn zhōng guān chá de lǐ píng jīng tàn bù yǐ de shì ， zhè jīn sè suàn pán suǒ zuò de 、 jué bù jǐn jǐn shì duì yuán lì fāng miàn de tiáo kòng 。 gèng zhòng yào de shì sī sī jīn máng suí zhe suàn zhū de bù duàn bō dòng ， cháo zhe zhōu wéi kuò sàn 。
更让暗中观察的李平惊叹不已的是，这金色算盘所做的、绝不仅仅是对源力方面的调控。更重要的是丝丝金芒随着算珠的不断波动，朝着周围扩散。
What amazed Li Ping even more was that this golden abacus did not merely regulate the source energy. As the beads continued to move, threads of golden light spread outwards, diffusing into the surroundings.
suī rán méi yǒu fēi chū duō jiǔ ， jiù chè dǐ bèi yōu àn tūn mò 。 dàn zài zhè xiē jīn guāng de zuò yòng xià ， yōu àn zhī hǎi de nù tāo què bèi màn màn píng xī 。
虽然没有飞出多久，就彻底被幽暗吞没。但在这些金光的作用下，幽暗之海的怒涛却被慢慢平息。
Although they didn’t last long before being swallowed by the darkness, these golden lights gradually calmed the raging Dark Sea.
nà zhèng zài sū xǐng de wèi zhī cún zài ， zài suàn pán jīn máng de ān fǔ xià ， chóng xīn xiàn rù le chén shuì 。
那正在苏醒的未知存在，在算盘金芒的安抚下，重新陷入了沉睡。
The unknown entity that had just awakened was soothed by the golden light and fell back into a deep sleep.
biàn huà fā shēng de tóng shí ， yī méi yǎn zhū ， yě qiǎo rán jiàng lín zài le yōu àn zhī hǎi de chuāng kǒu shàng fāng 。
变化发生的同时，一枚眼珠，也悄然降临在了幽暗之海的创口上方。
As changes occurred, an eyeball quietly descended above the wound in the Dark Sea.
huò zhě shuō ， zì jīn sè suàn pán zhōng dàn shēng ， guǐ jué wú bǐ 。
或者说，自金色算盘中诞生，诡谲无比。
Or rather, it emerged from the golden abacus, incredibly mysterious.
yǎn zhū fù yǔ le suàn pán shēng mìng ， zǐ xì sōu chá qǐ le yōu àn zhī hǎi nèi de yì dòng 。
眼珠赋予了算盘生命，仔细搜查起了幽暗之海内的异动。
The eyeball endowed life to the abacus, meticulously investigating the anomalies within the Dark Sea.
yǎn móu bīng lěng ， bù hán rèn hé gǎn qíng 。 zhuǎn dòng xún shì zhe ， sì hū yào zhǎo chū yōu àn zhī lì chōu qǔ zhuāng zhì shī héng de yuán yīn 。
眼眸冰冷，不含任何感情。转动巡视着，似乎要找出幽暗之力抽取装置失衡的原因。
Its cold eyes, devoid of any emotion, scanned around as if trying to find the reason for the imbalance in the extraction device.
shèng huáng xīn zhōng yī níng ， jiāng zì shēn yǐ jí shàng bǎi míng yōu zú rén quán dōu zhē yǎn hù zhù 。
圣皇心中一凝，将自身以及上百名幽族人全都遮掩护住。
The Holy Emperor’s heart tightened as he shielded himself and over a hundred dark族 people from view.
yǎn móu xún shì le jǐ quān ， bìng méi yǒu zhǎo dào rèn hé kě yí de cún zài ， zuì zhōng cái huǎn huǎn xiāo shī 。
眼眸巡视了几圈，并没有找到任何可疑的存在，最终才缓缓消失。
After several rounds of inspection, his gaze finally faded away without finding anything suspicious.
ér zài zhè duàn shí jiān ， zài jīn sè suàn pán de miǎn lì wéi xiū xià ， yōu àn zhī hǎi yǐ jīng zhòng guī píng héng 、 níng jìng zhī tài 。
而在这段时间，在金色算盘的勉力维修下，幽暗之海已经重归平衡、宁静之态。
During this time, under the efforts of the golden abacus, the Dark Sea returned to its peaceful state.
lǐ píng zhàn zài chuāng kǒu bù yuǎn chù ， chén yín le shǎo xǔ hòu ， zuì zhōng hái shì zàn huǎn le jī kuì wàn xiān méng cǐ chù zhuāng zhì de jì huà 。
李平站在创口不远处，沉吟了少许后，最终还是暂缓了击溃万仙盟此处装置的计划。
Standing nearby the wound, Li Ping pondered for a moment before deciding to postpone his plan to destroy the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s device here.
bìng fēi shì lǐ píng wèi jù cǐ kè gēn wàn xiān méng zhèng miàn fā shēng chōng tū ， ér shì tā cóng nà tū rán chū xiàn de yǎn zhū zhōng ， gǎn yìng dào le shú xī de qì xī 。
并非是李平畏惧此刻跟万仙盟正面发生冲突，而是他从那突然出现的眼珠中，感应到了熟悉的气息。
He was not afraid of confronting the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance directly. Instead, he sensed familiar energy from an eyeball that had suddenly appeared.
yí gè lǐ lùn shàng jiǎng ， yǐ jīng cóng xuán huáng jiè chè dǐ xiāo shī de xiū shì de qì xī 。
一个理论上讲，已经从玄黄界彻底消失的修士的气息。
This was a practitioner who should have been completely erased from existence in the Xuanhuang Realm.
zhèng shì chū yú zhè ge yí lǜ ， cái ràng shèng huáng lín shí gǎi biàn le jué dìng 。
正是出于这个疑虑，才让圣皇临时改变了决定。
It was this doubt that led the Holy Emperor to change his decision temporarily.
“ tǎng ruò jǐn jǐn shì qì xī xiāng tóng dào yě bà le 。 ruò shì tā běn rén hái huó zhe ， ér qiě hái cáng zài wàn xiān méng nèi bù 、 bāng zhù qí qiè qǔ yōu àn zhī hǎi de lì liàng ……”
“倘若仅仅是气息相同倒也罢了。若是他本人还活着，而且还藏在万仙盟内部、帮助其窃取幽暗之海的力量……”
"If it were just a similar aura, that would be one thing. But if he is still alive and hiding within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, helping them steal the power of the Dark Sea..."
shèng huáng xīn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yí huò 。
圣皇心中闪过一丝疑惑。
A hint of suspicion flashed through the Holy Emperor’s mind.
dàn méi yǒu gǎo qīng chǔ zhè jiàn shì zhī qián ， hái shì zàn bì fēng máng wèi hǎo 。
但没有搞清楚这件事之前，还是暂避锋芒为好。
But until this matter was clarified, it was better to avoid conflict for now.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lǐ píng dài zhe yōu zú rén fǎn huí le dà qǐ 。
心中如此想着，李平带着幽族人返回了大启。
With these thoughts in mind, Li Ping led the dark族 people back to Great启.
shén niàn lián xì shàng shí bǎn zhī hòu ， kāi shǐ fān yuè chuàng shì shí bǎn jì lù de xìn xī 。
神念联系上石板之后，开始翻阅创世石板记录的信息。
Connecting his divine consciousness with the stone tablet, he began to review the information recorded on the Creation Stone Tablet.
“ xuán tiān wáng ……”
“玄天王……”
"Xuan Tian Wang..."
“ wán quán bù fú hé cháng lǐ 。”
“完全不符合常理。”
"Completely out of reason."
yí mù mù chǎng jǐng fú xiàn zài lǐ píng yǎn qián 。
一幕幕场景浮现在李平眼前。
Scene after scene flashed before Li Ping’s eyes.
xuán tiān wáng cóng zuì chū yī wèi píng píng wú qí de xiū shì ， yī lù nì xí 、 qí yù lián lián ， zuì zhōng chéng wéi xuán huáng jiè zuì hòu yī wèi fēi shēng zhě 。
玄天王从最初一位平平无奇的修士，一路逆袭、奇遇连连，最终成为玄黄界最后一位飞升者。
From an ordinary practitioner at first, Xuan Tian Wang rose through a series of extraordinary events and became the last ascender in the Xuanhuang Realm.
zài pò kōng ér qù ， chéng wéi xuán huáng jiè yǒng héng chuán shuō yī bù fèn zhī hòu bù jiǔ 。
在破空而去，成为玄黄界永恒传说一部分之后不久。
Shortly after leaving to become part of its eternal legend, he reappeared, shaking the world once again.
tā zài dù chū xiàn ， zhèn dòng tiān xià 。
他再度出现，震动天下。
Then came the founding of the Xuan Tian Sect and its eventual destruction by the Ten Sects.
ér hòu biàn shì xuán tiān jiào chuàng lì 、 zuì hòu yòu bèi shí zōng lián hé jiǎo miè zhī shì 。
而后便是玄天教创立、最后又被十宗联合剿灭之事。
The scenes were intermittent, with key points being forcibly erased as if cut out.
huà miàn duàn duàn xù xù ， gèng zài mǒu xiē guān jiàn jié diǎn ， bèi rén yìng shēng shēng mǒ qù le shì dé 。
画面断断续续，更在某些关键节点，被人硬生生抹去了似得。
Even this incomplete personal history was filled with twists and turns that captivated the heart.
dàn jí biàn shì zhè cán quē gè rén chéng zhǎng shǐ shū ， yě zú gòu diē dàng qǐ fú 、 kòu rén xīn xián 。
但即便是这残缺个人成长史书，也足够跌宕起伏、扣人心弦。
"From the感应 memory synchronized with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao and the records on the Creation Stone Tablet. The eye in the Dark Sea is almost identical to Xuan Tian Wang."
“ cóng xuán huáng tiān dào tóng bù de gǎn yìng jì yì ， yǐ jí chuàng shì shí bǎn de jì lù lái kàn 。 nà zài yōu àn zhī hǎi zhōng chū xiàn de yǎn móu ， gēn xuán tiān wáng yǒu zhe jī hū shí chéng de xiāng sì 。”
“从玄黄天道同步的感应记忆，以及创世石板的记录来看。那在幽暗之海中出现的眼眸，跟玄天王有着几乎十成的相似。”
"The mystery lies here."
“ guài jiù guài zài zhè lǐ 。”
“怪就怪在这里。”
The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao had personally confirmed Xuan Tian Wang’s death, but how did the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance find his eyes?
xuán huáng tiān dào qīn zì rèn zhèng ， xuán tiān wáng yǐ jīng yǔn luò 。 wàn xiān méng yòu jiū jìng cóng nǎ zhǎo lái tā de yǎn jīng ？
玄黄天道亲自认证，玄天王已经陨落。万仙盟又究竟从哪找来他的眼睛？
"Similarly, the detailed records of the Ten Sects’ attack on the Xuan Tian Sect are also unclear. Only beings comparable to the source of the Xuanhuang Realm could conceal it."
“ dāng nián xiān dào shí zōng wéi gōng xuán tiān jiào de jù tǐ jì lù xìn xī ， tóng yàng yě shì yī piàn mó hú 。 néng gòu zhē yǎn xuán huáng jiè běn yuán lì liàng de ， zhì shǎo yě shì qí gǔ xiāng dāng de cún zài 。”
“当年仙道十宗围攻玄天教的具体记录信息，同样也是一片模糊。能够遮掩玄黄界本源力量的，至少也是旗鼓相当的存在。”
...
……
……
The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became.
yuè shì sī suǒ ， yuè jué de yí huò chóng chóng 。
越是思索，越觉得疑惑重重。
This supposed savior of the Xuanhuang Realm was shrouded in too many mysteries.
zhè wèi xuán huáng jiè biǎo miàn shàng de jiù shì zhǔ ， shēn shàng lǒng zhào zhe tài duō de mí tuán 。
这位玄黄界表面上的救世主，身上笼罩着太多的谜团。
Most crucially, his cultivation realm was there for all to see. A half-immortal body simply vanishing was hard to believe, especially since Li Ping himself had reached the brink of the Xuanhuang Realm and could understand its power.
zuì guān jiàn de ， tā de xiū wèi jìng jiè fàng zài nà lǐ 。
最关键的，他的修为境界放在那里。
Only a true immortal or higher could silently erase Xuan Tian Wang.
bàn xiān zhī qū ， shuō xiāo shī jiù xiāo shī le 。 shí zài ràng rén nán yǐ xìn fú 。 yóu qí shì cǐ kè lǐ píng běn rén yǐ jīng yǐn yǐn dá dào le xuán huáng jiè jí xiàn ， yīn ér gèng néng lǐ jiě qí qiáng dà zhī chù 。
半仙之躯，说消失就消失了。实在让人难以信服。尤其是此刻李平本人已经隐隐达到了玄黄界极限，因而更能理解其强大之处。
But if such an existence truly appeared, it would be earth-shattering, even threatening the Xuanhuang Realm itself.
wéi yǒu zhēn xiān jí yǐ shàng de cún zài ， huò xǔ cái néng zài wú shēng wú xī zhī jiān 、 jiāng xuán tiān wáng mǒ chú 。
唯有真仙及以上的存在，或许才能在无声无息之间、将玄天王抹除。
However, in the memory of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, no such event had occurred.
dàn tǎng ruò zhè děng cún zài zhēn de xiàn shì ， bì rán jīng tiān dòng dì 、 shèn zhì xuán huáng jiè dū huì bō jí péi zàng 。
但倘若这等存在真的现世，必然惊天动地、甚至玄黄界都会波及陪葬。
Perhaps that true immortal deliberately concealed its aura during action...
rán ér zài xuán huáng jiè tiān dào de jì yì zhōng ， zhè yàng de shì qíng bìng méi yǒu fā shēng 。
然而在玄黄界天道的记忆中，这样的事情并没有发生。
The question then arose.
huò xǔ shì nà zhēn xiān ， zài háng dòng shí hòu kè yì yǐn mán le zì jǐ qì xī ……
或许是那真仙，在行动时候刻意隐瞒了自己气息……
In a true immortal’s eyes, mere mortals were like ants.
nà me wèn tí yòu lái le 。
那么问题又来了。
Even as a half-immortal, Xuan Tian Wang could not escape this fate. Why hide when killing him?
zhēn xiān yǎn zhōng ， fán sú zhī rén jiē rú lóu yǐ 。
真仙眼中，凡俗之人皆如蝼蚁。
"Perhaps clues can be found in the surviving Law Kings of the Xuan Tian Sect."
xuán tiān wáng jí biàn shì bàn xiān ， yě bù néng miǎn sú 。 zhēn xiān shā zhī ， yòu hé xū yǎn rén ěr mù ？
玄天王即便是半仙，也不能免俗。真仙杀之，又何须掩人耳目？
The Faceless Holy Emperor flipped through the Creation Stone Tablet, searching for any hint.
“ huò xǔ kě yǐ cóng dāng nián xìng cún de jǐ wèi xuán tiān jiào fǎ wáng shēn shàng zhǎo dào xiē xiàn suǒ 。”
“或许可以从当年幸存的几位玄天教法王身上找到些线索。”
Meanwhile, Li Ping in Ash World frowned slightly.
wú miàn shèng huáng fān dòng zhe chuàng shì shí bǎn ， shì tú cóng zhōng zhǎo dào xiē xǔ zhū sī mǎ jì 。
无面圣皇翻动着创世石板，试图从中找到些许蛛丝马迹。
Since personally experiencing the tenacity of a Law King from the Xuan Tian Sect, he had deliberately shielded the Holy Emperor’s memory of Mo Ru Bin to avoid future complications.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， yuǎn zài huī jìn xiǎo shì jiè de lǐ fán fēn shén ， què shì wēi wēi zhòu qǐ le méi tóu 。
与此同时，远在灰烬小世界的李凡分神，却是微微皱起了眉头。
He did not expect that under various coincidences, the Holy Emperor would start having new entanglements with Mo Ru Bin again.
zì cóng qīn shēn lǐng jiào guò xuán tiān jiào fǎ wáng de nán chán zhī chù hòu ， wèi le zhè yī shì bù zài duō shēng bō zhé 、 tā tè yì dān fāng miàn píng bì le shèng huáng duì mò rú bīn de jì yì 。
自从亲身领教过玄天教法王的难缠之处后，为了这一世不再多生波折、他特意单方面屏蔽了圣皇对墨儒斌的记忆。
"Since the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance can pinpoint Mo Ru Bin's slumbering location through clues, the Holy Emperor should be able to do so too. This is interesting."
bù céng xiǎng dào ， zhǒng zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià ， shèng huáng jìng rán yòu kāi shǐ yǒu gēn mò rú bīn chǎn shēng jiū gé de jì xiàng 。
不曾想到，种种机缘巧合之下，圣皇竟然又开始有跟墨儒斌产生纠葛的迹象。
...
“ jì rán wàn xiān méng néng cóng zhǒng zhǒng xiàn suǒ suǒ dìng mò rú bīn de chén shuì zhī dì ， shèng huáng yīng gāi yě néng zuò dào 。 zhè xià dào yǒu yì si le 。”
“既然万仙盟能从种种线索锁定墨儒斌的沉睡之地，圣皇应该也能做到。这下倒有意思了。”
"The eye of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cannot possibly belong to Xuan Tian Wang himself. Otherwise, Mo Ru Bin would have discovered it when he took over the Law Transmitter’s body and learned all about the Immortal Alliance," Li Ping thought as he activated the Boundless Mirror to analyze the protective array.
“ wàn xiān méng de nà zhǐ yǎn móu ， jué bù kě néng shì xuán tiān wáng běn rén 。 fǒu zé dāng chū mò rú bīn zhàn jù chuán fǎ zhě shēn qū 、 jǐn xiǎo xiān méng jī mì zhī hòu ， yīng gāi jiù yǐ jīng fā xiàn le cǐ shì 。”
“万仙盟的那只眼眸，绝不可能是玄天王本人。否则当初墨儒斌占据传法者身躯、尽晓仙盟机密之后，应该就已经发现了此事。”
"However, considering his death in the Dark Sea, that eye must be somehow connected to Xuan Tian Wang. Perhaps even a part of his power?"
lǐ fán yī biān cuī dòng wú liàng jìng jiě xī hù jiè dà zhèn ， yī biān sī cǔn zhe 。
李凡一边催动无量镜解析护界大阵，一边思忖着。
"Mo Ru Bin discovered this Immortal Alliance eye and realized its connection to the Dark Sea, which is why he ventured into such peril, ultimately perishing."
“ bù guò ， cān kǎo tā zhī hòu sǐ zài le yōu àn zhī hǎi nèi de qíng xíng ， huò xǔ kě yǐ cāi cè ， nà yǎn zhū ， bì rán gēn xuán tiān wáng yǒu zhe mǒu zhǒng mò míng de lián xì 。 shèn zhì kě néng shì ， xuán tiān wáng quán néng de yī bù fèn ？”
“不过，参考他之后死在了幽暗之海内的情形，或许可以猜测，那眼珠，必然跟玄天王有着某种莫名的联系。甚至可能是，玄天王权能的一部分？”
"Power..."
“ mò rú bīn fā xiàn le zhè xiān méng yǎn zhū de cún zài ， bìng qiě chá jué le tā gēn yōu àn zhī hǎi de guān lián ， yīn cǐ cái huì shēn rù xiǎn dì ， zuì zhōng shī gǔ wú cún 。”
“墨儒斌发现了这仙盟眼珠的存在，并且察觉了它跟幽暗之海的关联，因此才会深入险地，最终尸骨无存。”
"Xuanhuang Great Supreme Sovereign, protective array!"
“ quán néng ……”
“权能……”
Li Ping’s eyes flashed as a light point in the unfinished model of the final disintegration disc suddenly burst.
“ xuán huáng dà tiān zūn ， hù jiè dà zhèn !”
“玄黄大天尊，护界大阵!”
Even though it was still incomplete, Li Ping instantly understood what this light represented.
lǐ fán yǎn zhōng jīng guāng yī shǎn ， zhōng mò jiě lí dié tuī yǎn de shàng wèi chéng xíng de zhèn fǎ mó xíng zhōng ， yí gè guāng diǎn měng dì bào fā 。
李凡眼中精光一闪，终末解离碟推衍的尚未成型的阵法模型中，一个光点猛地爆发。
"Just like the Primordial Origin Grand Array, this unknown protective array is composed of several lower-level arrays. Each has its own control core."
jí biàn yī jiù wèi néng jiàn qí quán mào ， lǐ fán yě zài shùn xī jiān zhī xiǎo le zhè guāng diǎn dài biǎo de hán yì 。
即便依旧未能见其全貌，李凡也在瞬息间知晓了这光点代表的含义。
"This light point is precisely that core!"
“ gēn xuán yuán shǐ líng dà zhèn yī yàng ， zhè bù zhī míng de hù jiè dà zhèn tóng yàng shì yóu jǐ gè bù tóng de xià jí zhèn fǎ gòu chéng 。 měi gè zhèn fǎ ， dōu yǒu qí dān dú de kòng zhì hé xīn zhōng shū 。”
“跟玄元始灵大阵一样，这不知名的护界大阵同样是由几個不同的下级阵法构成。每个阵法，都有其单独的控制核心中枢。”
In the analysis of the boundless darkness, the lines of the array ruins hidden deep in Ash World finally revealed their "core" location.
“ zhè guāng diǎn ， biàn shì zhè hé xīn suǒ zài ！”
“这光点，便是这核心所在！”
However, what should have been the densest area for the array’s central hub was now empty, as if someone had directly excavated it.
wú liàng yōu guāng de jiě xī zhōng ， yǐn cáng zài huī jìn xiǎo shì jiè shēn céng zhī xià de zhèn fǎ yí jì xiàn tiáo ， yě zhōng yú lù chū le xiāng yìng de “ hé xīn ” suǒ zài 。
无量幽光的解析中，隐藏在灰烬小世界深层之下的阵法遗迹线条，也终于露出了相应的“核心”所在。
Just as Li Ping was about to probe that void, a sense of danger suddenly surged into his heart.
zhǐ bù guò yuán běn yīng dāng shì zhèn fǎ zhōng shū 、 xiàn tiáo zuì wèi mì jí de chǎng suǒ ， cǐ kè què yǐ jīng shì kōng dàng dàng yī piàn 。
只不过原本应当是阵法中枢、线条最为密集的场所，此刻却已经是空荡荡一片。
He immediately halted the Boundless Mirror's actions.
jiù xiàng bèi rén zhí jiē wā qù le yì bān 。
就像被人直接挖去了一般。
Li Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at that void.
zhèng dāng wú liàng jìng xiǎng yào jì xù kuī tàn nà xū wú hé xīn qū yù de shí hòu ， yī gǔ wēi jī gǎn hū de yǒng shàng le lǐ fán xīn tóu 。
正当无量镜想要继续窥探那虚无核心区域的时候，一股危机感忽的涌上了李凡心头。
A vague, eerie presence lurked within.
ràng tā qǐng kè jiān zhì zhǐ liǎo wú liàng jìng de xíng dòng 。
让他顷刻间制止了无量镜的行动。
It wasn’t nothing!
lǐ fán mī zhuó yǎn ， kàn xiàng nà piàn xū wú zhī suǒ 。
李凡眯着眼，看向那片虚无之所。
Its existence exceeded what ordinary people could perceive!
sì shì ér fēi 、 lìng rén máo gǔ sǒng rán de qì xī ， qián fú qí zhōng 。
似是而非、令人毛骨悚然的气息，潜伏其中。
"True... Immortal... Inscriptions!"
bìng bú shì shén me dōu bù cún zài ！
并不是什么都不存在！
Li Ping said each word slowly, raising his vigilance to its peak.
ér shì qí cún zài chāo chū le cháng rén kě yǐ gǎn yìng de fàn chóu ！
而是其存在超出了常人可以感应的范畴！
This was different from the previous inscriptions Li Ping had encountered—【饥】(Hunger), 【没】(Lack), and 【乱】(Chaos)—and also differed from the remnants in the Darkest Star Sea. It wasn’t even recorded on the Xuan Immortal Boat.
“ zhēn 、 xiān 、 zhuàn 、 zì ！”
“真、仙、篆、字！”
It was a new, unknown force that did not attack other things but specifically targeted the core of the protective array.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng ， yī zì yī dùn de shuō dào ， tóng shí xīn zhōng jiè bèi tí dào zuì gāo 。
李凡心中，一字一顿的说道，同时心中戒备提到最高。
Now that their goal had been achieved, they silently lay atop the "corpse" at the center of the protective array.
bìng bù tóng yú cǐ qián lǐ fán jiē chù dào de 【 jī 】、【 méi 】、【 luàn 】， gēn zài zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng cán cún zhī lì de yě bù jìn xiāng tóng 。
并不同于此前李凡接触到的【饥】、【没】、【乱】，跟在至暗星海中残存之力的也不尽相同。
(End of Chapter)
With the movement in the Dark Sea, those dark族 people who had been kneeling on the ground seemed to sense something, their expressions becoming increasingly frenzied and devout.
A gust of wind blew from all directions in the Dark Sea, converging near the small hole that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had drilled through.
The pressure increased sharply. An invisible ripple spread from the wound, layer upon layer of formidable power stacking up until it disrupted Li Ping’s sense of stability at the entrance of the cave.
The condensed source energy seemed to retreat in an instant, as if about to be completely expelled from this Dark Sea.
However, just then, Li Ping saw something unexpected. The lightless sea suddenly brightened.
This was not a previous illusion caused by the movement of the Dark Sea itself; there was indeed light emanating here.
A golden abacus stabilized the collapsing Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance source energy. As the beads moved, the output of the source energy surged, restoring balance between them once again.
The waves in the Dark Sea crashed and churned, but were perfectly neutralized by the calculations, calls, and adjustments from the golden abacus.
What amazed Li Ping even more was that this golden abacus did not merely regulate the source energy. As the beads continued to move, threads of golden light spread outwards, diffusing into the surroundings.
Although they didn’t last long before being swallowed by the darkness, these golden lights gradually calmed the raging Dark Sea.
The unknown entity that had just awakened was soothed by the golden light and fell back into a deep sleep.
As changes occurred, an eyeball quietly descended above the wound in the Dark Sea.
Or rather, it emerged from the golden abacus, incredibly mysterious.
The eyeball endowed life to the abacus, meticulously investigating the anomalies within the Dark Sea.
Its cold eyes, devoid of any emotion, scanned around as if trying to find the reason for the imbalance in the extraction device.
The Holy Emperor’s heart tightened as he shielded himself and over a hundred dark族 people from view.
After several rounds of inspection, his gaze finally faded away without finding anything suspicious.
During this time, under the efforts of the golden abacus, the Dark Sea returned to its peaceful state.
Standing nearby the wound, Li Ping pondered for a moment before deciding to postpone his plan to destroy the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s device here.
He was not afraid of confronting the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance directly. Instead, he sensed familiar energy from an eyeball that had suddenly appeared.
This was a practitioner who should have been completely erased from existence in the Xuanhuang Realm.
It was this doubt that led the Holy Emperor to change his decision temporarily.
"If it were just a similar aura, that would be one thing. But if he is still alive and hiding within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, helping them steal the power of the Dark Sea..."
A hint of suspicion flashed through the Holy Emperor’s mind.
But until this matter was clarified, it was better to avoid conflict for now.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Ping led the dark族 people back to Great启.
Connecting his divine consciousness with the stone tablet, he began to review the information recorded on the Creation Stone Tablet.
"Xuan Tian Wang..."
"Completely out of reason."
Scene after scene flashed before Li Ping’s eyes.
From an ordinary practitioner at first, Xuan Tian Wang rose through a series of extraordinary events and became the last ascender in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Shortly after leaving to become part of its eternal legend, he reappeared, shaking the world once again.
Then came the founding of the Xuan Tian Sect and its eventual destruction by the Ten Sects.
The scenes were intermittent, with key points being forcibly erased as if cut out.
Even this incomplete personal history was filled with twists and turns that captivated the heart.
"From the感应 memory synchronized with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao and the records on the Creation Stone Tablet. The eye in the Dark Sea is almost identical to Xuan Tian Wang."
"The mystery lies here."
The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao had personally confirmed Xuan Tian Wang’s death, but how did the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance find his eyes?
"Similarly, the detailed records of the Ten Sects’ attack on the Xuan Tian Sect are also unclear. Only beings comparable to the source of the Xuanhuang Realm could conceal it."
...
The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became.
This supposed savior of the Xuanhuang Realm was shrouded in too many mysteries.
Most crucially, his cultivation realm was there for all to see. A half-immortal body simply vanishing was hard to believe, especially since Li Ping himself had reached the brink of the Xuanhuang Realm and could understand its power.
Only a true immortal or higher could silently erase Xuan Tian Wang.
But if such an existence truly appeared, it would be earth-shattering, even threatening the Xuanhuang Realm itself.
However, in the memory of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, no such event had occurred.
Perhaps that true immortal deliberately concealed its aura during action...
The question then arose.
In a true immortal’s eyes, mere mortals were like ants.
Even as a half-immortal, Xuan Tian Wang could not escape this fate. Why hide when killing him?
"Perhaps clues can be found in the surviving Law Kings of the Xuan Tian Sect."
The Faceless Holy Emperor flipped through the Creation Stone Tablet, searching for any hint.
Meanwhile, Li Ping in Ash World frowned slightly.
Since personally experiencing the tenacity of a Law King from the Xuan Tian Sect, he had deliberately shielded the Holy Emperor’s memory of Mo Ru Bin to avoid future complications.
He did not expect that under various coincidences, the Holy Emperor would start having new entanglements with Mo Ru Bin again.
"Since the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance can pinpoint Mo Ru Bin's slumbering location through clues, the Holy Emperor should be able to do so too. This is interesting."
...
"The eye of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cannot possibly belong to Xuan Tian Wang himself. Otherwise, Mo Ru Bin would have discovered it when he took over the Law Transmitter’s body and learned all about the Immortal Alliance," Li Ping thought as he activated the Boundless Mirror to analyze the protective array.
"However, considering his death in the Dark Sea, that eye must be somehow connected to Xuan Tian Wang. Perhaps even a part of his power?"
"Mo Ru Bin discovered this Immortal Alliance eye and realized its connection to the Dark Sea, which is why he ventured into such peril, ultimately perishing."
"Power..."
"Xuanhuang Great Supreme Sovereign, protective array!"
Li Ping’s eyes flashed as a light point in the unfinished model of the final disintegration disc suddenly burst.
Even though it was still incomplete, Li Ping instantly understood what this light represented.
"Just like the Primordial Origin Grand Array, this unknown protective array is composed of several lower-level arrays. Each has its own control core."
"This light point is precisely that core!"
In the analysis of the boundless darkness, the lines of the array ruins hidden deep in Ash World finally revealed their "core" location.
However, what should have been the densest area for the array’s central hub was now empty, as if someone had directly excavated it.
Just as Li Ping was about to probe that void, a sense of danger suddenly surged into his heart.
He immediately halted the Boundless Mirror's actions.
Li Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at that void.
A vague, eerie presence lurked within.
It wasn’t nothing!
Its existence exceeded what ordinary people could perceive!
"True... Immortal... Inscriptions!"
Li Ping said each word slowly, raising his vigilance to its peak.
This was different from the previous inscriptions Li Ping had encountered—【饥】(Hunger), 【没】(Lack), and 【乱】(Chaos)—and also differed from the remnants in the Darkest Star Sea. It wasn’t even recorded on the Xuan Immortal Boat.
It was a new, unknown force that did not attack other things but specifically targeted the core of the protective array.
Now that their goal had been achieved, they silently lay atop the "corpse" at the center of the protective array.
