bìng fēi zhēn de shì shí jiān liú sù fā shēng le zhuǎn biàn 。
并非真的是时间流速发生了转变。
It wasn't about the flying swords returning; it was that all of them had vanished!
ér shì wú liàng jìng zhōu wéi de xuán huáng tiān dì ， yǎn biàn sù dù péng zhàng liǎo wú shù bèi 。
而是无量镜周围的玄黄天地，衍变速度膨胀了无数倍。
Most of the cultivators were left confused, believing that these countless flying swords had returned to their respective places.
hǎo sì bèi àn xià le jiā sù jiàn ， yí gè hū xī jiān ， guāng yǐng jiù míng miè bù dìng 、 shǎn shuò le shàng qiān wàn cì 。
好似被按下了加速键，一个呼吸间，光影就明灭不定、闪烁了上千万次。
Only some cultivators with extraordinary insight watched the sky in a daze, as if they had gained some understanding.
gǔ piáo de wú liàng jìng ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de biàn dé yù fā cāng sāng 。
古朴的无量镜，肉眼可见的变得愈发沧桑。
"Without a sword and without self..." St. Quke muttered under his breath, unfolding his palm, revealing a longsword-shaped shadow.
shèn zhì kě yǐ shí fēn qīng xī de kàn dào ， yì diǎn diǎn huī sè rú tóng chén āi bān de xì xiǎo kē lì ， cóng wú liàng jìng shàng fēi chū ， suí fēng ér qù 、 ér hòu xiāo sàn zài kōng zhōng 。
甚至可以十分清晰的看到，一点点灰色如同尘埃般的细小颗粒，从无量镜上飞出，随风而去、而后消散在空中。
The other three looked at this scene with slightly startled gazes.
yī dào fēn shén céng zài wú liàng jìng zhōng jī hū yǐn nì le zhěng zhěng yī shì ， kě yǐ shuō lǐ fán bǐ qǐ yuán běn de qì líng líng sūn lù yáo dōu yào gèng liǎo jiě wú liàng jìng 。 yīn ér tā néng gòu fēn biàn chū zhè fā shēng zài wú liàng jìng shàng de biàn huà 。
一道分神曾在无量镜中几乎隐匿了整整一世，可以说李凡比起原本的器灵灵孙路遥都要更了解无量镜。因而他能够分辨出这发生在无量镜上的变化。
Just as they were about to exchange their thoughts, Li Fan's voice sounded: "We are almost ready; it's time to depart."
「 zhè jiù shì xuán huáng tiān dì xiāo huà de guò chéng ……」
「这就是玄黄天地消化的过程……」
"Remember, the fate of this journey is uncertain. Do not give up halfway," Li Fan confirmed to them.
wú liàng jìng qū qiào suī rán zhú jiàn xiāo róng ， dàn qí nèi yùn hán de tuī yǎn fǎ zé lì liàng ， què mí liú bù sàn 。 hěn xiǎn rán ， xiān qì de néng jí céng cì 、 hái zài rú jīn de xuán huáng jiè zhī shàng 。 yīn ér xuán huáng jiè bìng bù jù bèi jiāng tā wán zhěng xiāo shí de néng lì 。
无量镜躯壳虽然逐渐消融，但其内蕴含的推衍法则力量，却弥留不散。很显然，仙器的能级层次、还在如今的玄黄界之上。因而玄黄界并不具备将它完整消食的能力。
They all nodded in agreement.
shí kōng jì xù qiān wàn bèi sù dù yǎn biàn 。 gǔ piáo wú liàng jìng ， kāi shǐ biàn dé fǔ xiǔ ， bèi qīn shí de zhǐ shèng xià le jìng miàn 。
时空继续千万倍速度演变。古朴无量镜，开始变得腐朽，被侵蚀的只剩下了镜面。
"Sword..."
zhí dào zuì hòu zé shì wán quán xiāo jiě 。 zhǐ shèng xià yī dào xū yǐng ， jìng jìng piāo fú zài kōng zhōng 。
直到最后则是完全消解。只剩下一道虚影，静静漂浮在空中。
"Start..."
fǎng fú shì gǎn yìng dào le zhè yóu lí de xiān qì fǎ zé lì liàng ， xuán huáng jiè zhōng ， mò míng de biàn huà jiàng lín 。
仿佛是感应到了这游离的仙器法则力量，玄黄界中，莫名的变化降临。
A gentle breeze blew past as a large flying boat-shaped wooden sword shadow enveloped everyone, including St. Yin.
zhè biàn huà suī rán jī hū wú xíng wú xiāng ， dàn píng lǐ fán mù qián de shí lì yǐ jí duì xuán huáng jiè de liǎo jiě chéng dù ， què shì néng gòu kàn qīng chǔ zài yǎn qián fā shēng de yī qiè 。
这变化虽然几乎无形无相，但凭李凡目前的实力以及对玄黄界的了解程度，却是能够看清楚在眼前发生的一切。
Li Fan stood at the tip of the sword and pointed forward with his finger.
yī dào tòu míng rén lèi shēn qū ， lái dào wú liàng jìng xū yǐng páng 。 suì yuè liú zhuǎn 、 cāng hǎi sāng tián zhī lì ， sì hū méi néng duì qí zào chéng rèn hé de yǐng xiǎng 。
一道透明人类身躯，来到无量镜虚影旁。岁月流转、沧海桑田之力，似乎没能对其造成任何的影响。
The surroundings changed dramatically. Numerous twisted lines were stretched out behind them, speeding towards the rear. Then, light merged into various distorted colors.
tòu míng shēn qū piāo fú kào jìn ， gēn xū yǐng zhú jiàn chóng dié 。 jiù xiàng shì bǎ wú liàng jìng tūn rù le dù zhōng 。
透明身躯漂浮靠近，跟虚影逐渐重叠。就像是把无量镜吞入了肚中。
The wooden sword shadow separated St. Yin and others from the bizarre scenery around them.
rán hòu hǎo sì shuǐ miàn dàng qǐ de lián yī ， nà rén lèi shēn qū yòu huǎn huǎn róng rù xuán huáng tiān dì lǐ ， xiāo shī zài lǐ fán yǎn qián 。
然后好似水面荡起的涟漪，那人类身躯又缓缓融入玄黄天地里，消失在李凡眼前。
Even though they could feel that the wooden sword was carrying them rapidly toward the depths of the star sea, those inside the wooden sword's shadow did not realize any change in speed.
cóng shǐ zhì zhōng ， zhè rén lèi shēn qū dōu méi yǒu zhèng yǎn kàn lǐ fán yī yǎn 。
从始至终，这人类身躯都没有正眼看李凡一眼。
Outside the wooden sword's shadow, the light suddenly turned dark. The color faded away, leaving only distorted shadows. St. Yin's expression changed slightly: "Are we now out of the influence range of the Immortal Vastness?"
jiù hǎo xiàng jiāng wú liàng jìng fǎ zé lì liàng dài zǒu shì tā wéi yī suǒ zài yì de shì qíng bān 。
就好像将无量镜法则力量带走是祂唯一所在意的事情般。
The response was a look of shock from the other three.
「 tiān dì zhī pò ， zhī qián cóng wèi jiàn guò de zhǒng lèi 。」
「天地之魄，之前从未见过的种类。」
"Didn't you say that the path ahead would be fraught with danger?" St. Quke said in an odd tone.
「 bìng qiě gēn suǒ yǒu qí tā de tiān dì zhī pò dōu bù tóng ， xiū shì jiàn hòu ， jìng rán méi yǒu tān lán jiāng qí tūn shì de niàn tou ……」
「并且跟所有其他的天地之魄都不同，修士见后，竟然没有贪婪将其吞噬的念头……」
They could faintly sense that the wooden sword shadow was rushing through the star sea, ignoring hidden disaster forces and accelerating toward its destination.
lǐ fán shōu qǐ miè shì biàn shén tōng ， jí mù yuǎn tiào 。
李凡收起灭世变神通，极目远眺。
"Without a sword and without self... Without a sword and without self..."
tā fǎng fú kàn dào le ， cǐ shí cǐ kè zài xuán huáng jiè mǒu gè jiǎo luò 。 gāng gāng nà dào tòu míng rén lèi shēn qū ， zhèng fù zhuó zài yī míng xīn dàn shēng de yīng ér tǐ nèi 。
他仿佛看到了，此时此刻在玄黄界某个角落。刚刚那道透明人类身躯，正附着在一名新诞生的婴儿体内。
"The sword does not exist in this world. Even if the force that destroyed the star sea exists, it can only be helpless against something that doesn't exist!" St. Quke's eyes stared intently at the wooden sword shadow, becoming even brighter.
bàn suí zhe yīng ér de chéng zhǎng ， xīn de wú liàng jìng jí jiāng dàn shēng 。 bù guò ， què bù zài shì xiān qì 。 ér shì xuán huáng jiè tiān dì qí wù ！
伴随着婴儿的成长，新的无量镜即将诞生。不过，却不再是仙器。而是玄黄界天地奇物！
Li Fan's voice sounded again: "Choosing to follow me into space has already proven your courage and belief."
zhèng cháng qíng kuàng xià ， xuán huáng jiè wán chéng zhěng tào xiāo huà 、 zhuǎn biàn de bù zhòu ， wǎng wǎng xū yào shù qiān shèn zhì shàng wàn nián de shí jiān 。 dàn zài lǐ fán miè shì biàn de jiā chí xià ， jǐn jǐn yòng le bú dào xiǎo bàn tiān de shí jiān ， jiù wán chéng le zhè ge guò chéng 。
正常情况下，玄黄界完成整套消化、转变的步骤，往往需要数千甚至上万年的时间。但在李凡灭世变的加持下，仅仅用了不到小半天的时间，就完成了这个过程。
"Having survived until now... unnecessary sacrifices should still be avoided if possible."
àn lǐ lái shuō ， bāng zhù xuán huáng jiè wán chéng xiān qì de tūn shì ， yīng gāi huì dé dào xiē xǔ de hǎo gǎn dù tí shēng cái shì 。 dàn lǐ fán děng le hǎo yī huì ， què shǐ zhōng méi yǒu chá jué dào xuán huáng jiè shàn yì de zēng jiā 。
按理来说，帮助玄黄界完成仙器的吞噬，应该会得到些许的好感度提升才是。但李凡等了好一会，却始终没有察觉到玄黄界善意的增加。
"Sage..." The four looked at Li Fan standing on the tip of the sword with complex expressions.
wēi wēi sī cǔn le piàn kè ， lǐ fán huǎng rán 。 sāng hǎi sāng tián zhī biàn ， duì yú xuán huáng jiè ér yán ， shí zé yě shì mǒu zhǒng 「 shòu mìng 」 xiāo hào 。 yī lái yī huí ， yě suàn shì gōng guò xiāng dǐ le 。
微微思忖了片刻，李凡恍然。桑海桑田之变，对于玄黄界而言，实则也是某种「寿命」消耗。一来一回，也算是功过相抵了。
Li Fan did not pay attention to what the others were thinking behind him. He was in the process of understanding this near-perfect sword-casting technique.
duì yú zhè diǎn ， lǐ fán shí zé bìng bù zài yì 。 fǎn zhèng duì xuán huáng jiè shí lì de zēng zhǎng shì shí dǎ shí de 。 xuán huáng jiè lì liàng de měi yī fēn zēng zhǎng ， dū huì tóng bù tǐ xiàn zài jiāng lái de xuán huáng xiān pò shēn shàng 。 ér tā ， jiāng yǒng yuǎn shì zuì hòu de shòu yì zhě 。
对于这点，李凡实则并不在意。反正对玄黄界实力的增长是实打实的。玄黄界力量的每一分增长，都会同步体现在将来的玄黄仙魄身上。而他，将永远是最后的受益者。
Ten days ago, after helping the Immortal Vastness digest the Mirror of Boundless Time, Li Fan visited the Sword Tomb of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
shōu huí shì xiàn ， lǐ fán yǐn yuē gǎn jué dào ， suí zhe wú liàng jìng fǎ zé lì liàng zhèng zài róng rù xuán huáng jiè 。 cóng wú dào yǒu de 、 zhì dì biàn huà ， yě zhèng zài yùn niàng zhī zhōng 。
收回视线，李凡隐约感觉到，随着无量镜法则力量正在融入玄黄界。从无到有的、质的变化，也正在酝酿之中。
The wooden sword at the center seemed different due to the transformation of the current Immortal Vastness. Compared to a thousand years ago when Mr. White casually created it, this wooden sword might have undergone the sedimentation of time and become even more profound.
「 wú liàng jìng tuī yǎn zhī dào ， xuán huáng jiè zhōng mù qián shàng bù cún zài 。 xuán huáng jiè yí dàn tūn shì hòu huà wèi jǐ yòng ……」
「无量镜推衍之道，玄黄界中目前尚不存在。玄黄界一旦吞噬后化为己用……」
"Who knows how many divine swords the Immortal Vastness has devoured? No one can say for sure."
「 néng gòu yù jiàn wèi lái de tiān dào ， yǒu yì si 。」
「能够预见未来的天道，有意思。」
"Perhaps some of those divine forces have supplemented the Sword Dao of the Immortal Vastness..."
xuán huáng jiè nèi jué dà duō shù guò wǎng 、 xiàn zài fā shēng zhī shì ， tiān dào yīng dāng dōu yǒu jì lù 。 zú liàng de xìn xī jiā chí ， tuī yǎn wèi lái de zhǔn què xìng ， huò xǔ bǐ qǐ quán shèng shí qī de xiān qì wú liàng jìng ， dōu yào gèng qiáng jǐ fēn 。
玄黄界内绝大多数过往、现在发生之事，天道应当都有记录。足量的信息加持，推衍未来的准确性，或许比起全盛时期的仙器无量镜，都要更强几分。
Li Fan had once sensed this wooden sword in the Void Realm and reality, gaining different insights each time.
「 zhè jiù shì tài yǎn zōng 【 yǎn tiān jiǔ juǎn 】 zhōng tí jí de tuī yǎn zuì gāo jìng jiè ， yǐ tiān suàn dài rén suàn 。」
「这就是太衍宗【衍天九卷】中提及的推衍最高境界，以天算代人算。」
Especially now. After personally setting up a world-destroying divine array, he looked at the wooden sword again and felt new thoughts emerging.
「 tūn shì xiān qì ， duì xuán huáng jiè ér yán
「吞噬仙器，对玄黄界而言
"The more you know, the more you see."
， bù jǐn jǐn shì lì liàng de tí shēng 。 gèng duō de shì fǎ zé de bǔ quán 。 měi tūn shì yī jiàn xiān qì ， tā jù lí zhēn zhèng de xiān jiè ， dōu gèng jìn yī bù 。」 sī sī gǎn wù shà shí yǒng shàng lǐ fán xīn tóu 。
，不仅仅是力量的提升。更多的是法则的补全。每吞噬一件仙器，祂距离真正的仙界，都更近一步。」丝丝感悟霎时涌上李凡心头。
"Or perhaps, the Sword Dao, from top to bottom, has become even more vivid in the projection on the Immortal Vastness."
……
……
Li Fan spent seven days meditating in the Sword Tomb without taking away the black sword. He left it to continue being influenced by the wooden sword.
shí tiān hòu 。
十天后。
After returning, he imparted all his insights onto the lectern and transformed them into a divine technique that carried St. Yin and others toward the star sea's edge at incredible speed.
dà xuán lùn dào tái 。
大玄论道台。
This shadow of "without a sword and without self" was not just about the Sword Dao; it was also based on Li Fan's experiences, incorporating the Truth and Illusion Transformation, the Hidden World Seclusionprohibition taught by Heavenly Doctor, and the Floating Through Space Great Array Golden Lock Across Heaven.
yīn shàng rén 、 bǎi huā 、 qiǎo gōng 、 xǔ kè ， yǐ rán shēn zhì 。 qí qí děng hòu lǐ fán lái lín 。
殷上人、百花、巧工、许克，已然身至。齐齐等候李凡来临。
Not only was its speed unparalleled, but it could exist in a state of reality and illusion, almost ignoring the residual True Immortal inscriptions on the path.
xiàng dào de jué xīn ， zhōng jiū hái shì zhàn shèng le duì wèi zhī fēng xiǎn de kǒng jù 。
向道的决心，终究还是战胜了对未知风险的恐惧。
However, he had not yet reached the realm of transforming reality into illusion. The wooden sword shadow would still be affected by some remnants of True Immortals.
「 shàng yī cì wǒ men wǎng fǎn xīng hǎi zhōng yāng yī tàng ， yòng le jìn hū yí gè bàn yuè de shí jiān 。 zhè cì qián wǎng gāo qiáng jiǎo xià ， bù zhī dào xū yào duō jiǔ 。」 qiǎo gōng yǒu xiē gǎn tàn dào 。
「上一次我们往返星海中央一趟，用了近乎一个半月的时间。这次前往高墙脚下，不知道需要多久。」巧工有些感叹道。
But since the wooden sword shadow's speed was so fast that it exceeded the speed at which the True Immortal remnants could take effect, it created an illusion of unimpeded progress.
「 shèng shī suǒ shuō ， xīng hǎi biān chuí ， gèng jiā xiōng xiǎn 。 huò xǔ shù nián wǎng fǎn ， yě shǔ zhèng cháng 。」 bǎi huā zhòu méi dào 。
「圣师所说，星海边陲，更加凶险。或许数年往返，也属正常。」百花皱眉道。
As the leader, Li Fan clearly felt the rapid depletion of energy sustaining the wooden sword shadow.
yīn shàng rén xiào le xiào ：「 wǎng hǎo le xiǎng 。 shuō bù dìng tú zhōng yù dào shén me zāi huò ， zhí jiē huí bù lái le ne ？」
殷上人笑了笑：「往好了想。说不定途中遇到什么灾祸，直接回不来了呢？」
If not for his Five Elements Great Void Heaven and Boundless Time of the Immortal Vastness as his foundation, he would have collapsed long ago.
qiǎo gōng 、 bǎi huā jù shì wú yán 。
巧工、百花俱是无言。
"Looking at the entire Immortal Vastness, even if it were the Teaching Physicians or the five elders from the Eternal Council, they might not be able to perform this sword," Li Fan felt a sense of pride as he observed the rapidly changing star and time space around him.
jǐ rén zhèng yì lùn zhe ， lǐ fán shēn yǐng zhè shí què chū xiàn zài jiǎng dào tái shàng 。
几人正议论着，李凡身影这时却出现在讲道台上。
With the wooden sword shadow's assistance, what originally required half a year had now been shortened to just two days. Their goal was already in sight.
méi yǒu zhí jiē dài lǐng chū fā ， ér shì duān zuò qí shàng 、 shén qíng sù mù ， kāi shǐ jiǎng dào 。
没有直接带领出发，而是端坐其上、神情肃穆，开始讲道。
Seeing several familiar relics floating in the lifeless star sea, Li Fan slowed down.
jīn cì ， lǐ fán suǒ chuán nǎi shì 「 jiàn dào 」。
今次，李凡所传乃是「剑道」。
"Is this where Sage said the relic sea is?" St. Quke squinted his eyes and gazed ahead.
「 tiān xià jiàn zhě ， yǒu sān 。」
「天下剑者，有三。」
"It should be the remnants of various worlds left behind after the collapse of the cultivation world," Baihua recognized some decorative items and introduced them to everyone.
「 zuì xià ， chí jiān tiě ér zhù qí zhì ， zhí ruì qì yǐ xiū qí shēn 。 lì xīn yú jiàn ， shēn jiàn xiāng hé 。 yù jiàn zhū dí ， shēn jiàn xiāng hé 。」
「最下，持坚铁而铸其志，执锐器以修其身。砺心于剑，身剑相合。御剑诛敌，身剑相合。」
St. Yin remained silent throughout, occasionally pressing his temples as he looked at the ruins of the broken boundary wall in the distance.
「 qí shàng ， shǒu zhōng jiàn nǎi xīn zhōng jiàn ； xīn zhōng jiàn kě huà shǒu zhōng jiàn 。 xīn niàn suǒ jí ， tiān dì wàn wù jiē kě wèi jiàn 。」
「其上，手中剑乃心中剑；心中剑可化手中剑。心念所及，天地万物皆可为剑。」
The wooden sword shadow slowly moved through the relic sea and soon left this area.
「 zuì shàng ， nǎi ， wú jiàn wú wǒ zhī jìng 。」
「最上，乃，无剑无我之境。」
Ahead, a larger aggregation of ruins suddenly appeared in their view.
……
……
Almost filling the entire field of vision, even just the ruins and debris were enough to make everyone feel a chill.
kāi piān zōng shù sān zhě zhī fēn hòu ， lǐ fán yòu kāi shǐ duì měi yī céng jìng jiè jìn xíng xiáng xì de jiǎng jiě 。
开篇综述三者之分后，李凡又开始对每一层境界进行详细的讲解。
Silence fell within the wooden sword shadow.
jiǎng dào tái xià ， zhòng rén tīng dé jiàn jiàn rù mí 。
讲道台下，众人听得渐渐入迷。
Then, the wooden sword shadow stopped abruptly.
jí biàn shì qiǎo gōng sì rén ， yě bù yóu bèi lǐ fán jiǎng dào nèi róng suǒ xī yǐn 。 jiāng qián qù xīng hǎi biān chuí de rèn wù zàn qiě yí wàng 。
即便是巧工四人，也不由被李凡讲道内容所吸引。将前去星海边陲的任务暂且遗忘。
"Hmm?"
suí zhe lǐ fán jiǎng dào de shēn rù ， tiān kōng zhōng yě yǒu zhū duō yì xiàng fú xiàn 。 měi cì jiǎng dào dū huì dìng shí chū chǎng de zàn qiě bù lùn 。
随着李凡讲道的深入，天空中也有诸多异象浮现。每次讲道都会定时出场的暂且不论。
Everyone woke up from their daze.
zuì lìng rén zhǔ mù de ， dāng shǔ nà wú shù bǐng cóng dà xuán gè dì fēi chí ér zhì de jiàn 。
最令人瞩目的，当属那无数柄从大玄各地飞驰而至的剑。
Li Fan flew out of the shadow, setting up an array in an open area between the relic sea and the broken boundary wall.
míng míng quán dōu shì zài pǔ tōng bù guò de fán tiě ， cǐ kè què néng yù kōng ér xíng 。 wǎn ruò jìn jiàn jūn wáng shèng shī bān tíng zài kōng zhōng 、 jiàn shēn wēi qū ， wēi wēi xíng lǐ 。
明明全都是再普通不过的凡铁，此刻却能御空而行。宛若觐见君王圣师般停在空中、剑身微屈，微微行礼。
Golden lines appeared as if they had come to life, quickly drawing various patterns in the air.
yuè lái yuè duō de jiàn jù jí guò lái ， zhē tiān bì rì ， zài jiǎng dào tái shàng kōng xíng chéng le yī piàn jiàn lín 。
越来越多的剑聚集过来，遮天蔽日，在讲道台上空形成了一片剑林。
After a brief flash of light, they disappeared into darkness.
wàn qiān bǐng jiàn ， mò mò chù lì ， sì hū yě zài tīng wén lǐ fán chuán dào 。
万千柄剑，默默矗立，似乎也在听闻李凡传道。
Item after item flew from Li Fan's body, merging with the great array.
「 shǒu wú zhí jiàn ， xīn yì wú cún ； xíng jì bù xiǎn ， yì cháng zài yān ……」
「手无执剑，心亦无存；形既不显，意常在焉……」
This array was clearly non-trivial just by looking at it.
dāng qī tiān hòu ， lǐ fán zuì hòu yī jù huà shuō wán hòu 。
当七天后，李凡最后一句话说完后。
Despite being so close, no one could sense any fluctuations in the array.
wàn qiān fēi jiàn qí míng ， quán dōu bào fā chū xuàn mù dì guāng máng 。
万千飞剑齐鸣，全都爆发出炫目的光芒。
"St. Yin, what kind of array is this?" St. Quke asked in surprise.
dāng jiàn guāng xiāo sàn hòu ， jiǎng dào tái shàng zhòng xiū shì hè rán fā xiàn ， nà wàn qiān bǐng jiàn jìng quán dōu xiāo shī bú jiàn le ！
当剑光消散后，讲道台上众修士赫然发现，那万千柄剑竟全都消失不见了！
St. Yin shook his head but his gaze kept drifting to the distant broken boundary wall.
jué dà duō shù xiū shì ， jiē shì bù míng suǒ yǐ 。 rèn wéi zhè màn tiān de fēi jiàn jiē yǐ jīng fǎn huí 。
绝大多数修士，皆是不明所以。认为这漫天的飞剑皆已经返回。
Li Fan was not concerned about setting up an array in front of everyone; he had just learned it from the original soul of Ji Yuzhen, the Heavenly Sword Sect's Venerable Master, a few days ago.
wéi yǒu yī xiē wù xìng bù fán de xiū shì ， kàn zhe tiān kōng zhēng zhēng chū shén ， ruò yǒu suǒ wù 。
唯有一些悟性不凡的修士，看着天空怔怔出神，若有所悟。
"Boundless Distance!"
「 wú jiàn wú wǒ ， jiàn yì cháng cún ……」 xǔ kè zuǐ lǐ nán nán zì yǔ ， zhǎn kāi shǒu zhǎng ， yī bǐng cháng jiàn xū yǐng hè rán fú xiàn
「无剑无我，剑意长存……」许克嘴里喃喃自语，展开手掌，一柄长剑虚影赫然浮现
Ji Yuzhen himself did not understand arrays. He only saw the Boundless Distance array a few times under the guidance of the Heavenly King.
qí shàng 。
其上。
But with the aid of the End-of-Time Separation Disc, Li Fan could roughly reconstruct it.
qí yú sān rén qiáo jiàn zhè yí mù ， mù guāng wēi lǐn 。
其余三人瞧见这一幕，目光微凛。
Free reading...
It wasn't about the flying swords returning; it was that all of them had vanished!
Most of the cultivators were left confused, believing that these countless flying swords had returned to their respective places.
Only some cultivators with extraordinary insight watched the sky in a daze, as if they had gained some understanding.
"Without a sword and without self..." St. Quke muttered under his breath, unfolding his palm, revealing a longsword-shaped shadow.
The other three looked at this scene with slightly startled gazes.
Just as they were about to exchange their thoughts, Li Fan's voice sounded: "We are almost ready; it's time to depart."
"Remember, the fate of this journey is uncertain. Do not give up halfway," Li Fan confirmed to them.
They all nodded in agreement.
"Sword..."
"Start..."
A gentle breeze blew past as a large flying boat-shaped wooden sword shadow enveloped everyone, including St. Yin.
Li Fan stood at the tip of the sword and pointed forward with his finger.
The surroundings changed dramatically. Numerous twisted lines were stretched out behind them, speeding towards the rear. Then, light merged into various distorted colors.
The wooden sword shadow separated St. Yin and others from the bizarre scenery around them.
Even though they could feel that the wooden sword was carrying them rapidly toward the depths of the star sea, those inside the wooden sword's shadow did not realize any change in speed.

Li Fan did not pay attention to what the others were thinking behind him. He was in the process of understanding this near-perfect sword-casting technique.
Ten days ago, after helping the Immortal Vastness digest the Mirror of Boundless Time, Li Fan visited the Sword Tomb of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The wooden sword at the center seemed different due to the transformation of the current Immortal Vastness. Compared to a thousand years ago when Mr. White casually created it, this wooden sword might have undergone the sedimentation of time and become even more profound.
"Who knows how many divine swords the Immortal Vastness has devoured? No one can say for sure."
"Perhaps some of those divine forces have supplemented the Sword Dao of the Immortal Vastness..."
Li Fan had once sensed this wooden sword in the Void Realm and reality, gaining different insights each time.
Especially now. After personally setting up a world-destroying divine array, he looked at the wooden sword again and felt new thoughts emerging.
"The more you know, the more you see."
"Or perhaps, the Sword Dao, from top to bottom, has become even more vivid in the projection on the Immortal Vastness."
Li Fan spent seven days meditating in the Sword Tomb without taking away the black sword. He left it to continue being influenced by the wooden sword.
After returning, he imparted all his insights onto the lectern and transformed them into a divine technique that carried St. Yin and others toward the star sea's edge at incredible speed.
This shadow of "without a sword and without self" was not just about the Sword Dao; it was also based on Li Fan's experiences, incorporating the Truth and Illusion Transformation, the Hidden World Seclusionprohibition taught by Heavenly Doctor, and the Floating Through Space Great Array Golden Lock Across Heaven.
Not only was its speed unparalleled, but it could exist in a state of reality and illusion, almost ignoring the residual True Immortal inscriptions on the path.
However, he had not yet reached the realm of transforming reality into illusion. The wooden sword shadow would still be affected by some remnants of True Immortals.
But since the wooden sword shadow's speed was so fast that it exceeded the speed at which the True Immortal remnants could take effect, it created an illusion of unimpeded progress.
As the leader, Li Fan clearly felt the rapid depletion of energy sustaining the wooden sword shadow.
If not for his Five Elements Great Void Heaven and Boundless Time of the Immortal Vastness as his foundation, he would have collapsed long ago.
"Looking at the entire Immortal Vastness, even if it were the Teaching Physicians or the five elders from the Eternal Council, they might not be able to perform this sword," Li Fan felt a sense of pride as he observed the rapidly changing star and time space around him.
With the wooden sword shadow's assistance, what originally required half a year had now been shortened to just two days. Their goal was already in sight.
Seeing several familiar relics floating in the lifeless star sea, Li Fan slowed down.
"Is this where Sage said the relic sea is?" St. Quke squinted his eyes and gazed ahead.
"It should be the remnants of various worlds left behind after the collapse of the cultivation world," Baihua recognized some decorative items and introduced them to everyone.
St. Yin remained silent throughout, occasionally pressing his temples as he looked at the ruins of the broken boundary wall in the distance.
The wooden sword shadow slowly moved through the relic sea and soon left this area.
Ahead, a larger aggregation of ruins suddenly appeared in their view.
Almost filling the entire field of vision, even just the ruins and debris were enough to make everyone feel a chill.
Silence fell within the wooden sword shadow.
Then, the wooden sword shadow stopped abruptly.
"Hmm?"
Everyone woke up from their daze.
Li Fan flew out of the shadow, setting up an array in an open area between the relic sea and the broken boundary wall.
Golden lines appeared as if they had come to life, quickly drawing various patterns in the air.
After a brief flash of light, they disappeared into darkness.
Item after item flew from Li Fan's body, merging with the great array.
This array was clearly non-trivial just by looking at it.
Despite being so close, no one could sense any fluctuations in the array.
"St. Yin, what kind of array is this?" St. Quke asked in surprise.
St. Yin shook his head but his gaze kept drifting to the distant broken boundary wall.
Li Fan was not concerned about setting up an array in front of everyone; he had just learned it from the original soul of Ji Yuzhen, the Heavenly Sword Sect's Venerable Master, a few days ago.
"Boundless Distance!"
Ji Yuzhen himself did not understand arrays. He only saw the Boundless Distance array a few times under the guidance of the Heavenly King.
But with the aid of the End-of-Time Separation Disc, Li Fan could roughly reconstruct it.
