不愧是玄商仙舟自上古流传至今的秘库,百闻仙录中的好东西着实不少。
It was no ordinary treasure that the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship had come to collect; it was a unique existence, a heart demon frozen in ice.
zuò wéi zhì àn xīng hǎi rú jīn wéi yī de xìng cún zhī dì , xuán huáng jiè kě yǐ shuō jī liú le zhěng gè xīng hǎi de jīng huá 。 ér lǐ fán lún huí bǎi shì , kě yǐ shuō bǎ xuán huáng jiè xiān le gè dǐ cháo tiān 。 xún cháng mì cáng zhēn bǎo zì rán jí nán rù tā fǎ yǎn 。
作为至暗星海如今唯一的幸存之地,玄黄界可以说积留了整个星海的精华。而李凡轮回百世,可以说把玄黄界掀了个底朝天。寻常密藏珍宝自然极难入他法眼。

dàn màn bù yú cǐ jiān , lǐ fán yī rán kàn dào le bù shǎo ràng tā pǒ gǎn xìng qù de wù jiàn 。
但漫步于此间,李凡依然看到了不少让他颇感兴趣的物件。
The Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's collection of this ice-bound world was indeed precious, but why? The key lay in the identity of the illusory figure within. According to Dao Sheng, if not for witnessing it firsthand, no one could have imagined such a strange and wondrous existence.
bǐ rú : yī zhī kàn shì tóng zhù de xiān hè 。 gēn jù bǎi wén xiān lù zhōng zī liào xiǎn shì , zhè tóng zhù xiān hè shí zé shì yòng zhū duō xiān qì cán piàn zhù zào ér chéng 。 suī bù jù xiān qì yì néng , dàn yīn wèi qí zì shēn cái zhì dì yuán gù , jiān yìng wú pǐ 。 wàn bān shén tōng 、 shù fǎ , jiē wú fǎ sǔn qí fēn háo 。 bù shuō wàn jié bù miè , zuì qǐ mǎ huǐ miè zhì àn xīng hǎi de zāi jié , dōu méi néng duì tā zào chéng rèn hé de sǔn huài 。
比如:一只看似铜铸的仙鹤。根据百闻仙录中资料显示,这铜铸仙鹤实则是用诸多仙器残片铸造而成。虽不具仙器异能,但因为其自身材质的缘故,坚硬无匹。万般神通、术法,皆无法损其分毫。不说万劫不灭,最起码毁灭至暗星海的灾劫,都没能对它造成任何的损坏。
"Back then, after gathering this ice-bound world, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship spent decades debating its true nature," Dao Sheng said. "In the end, they concluded that the illusory figure within was a heart demon. It was speculated to be an embodiment of another realm's heart law principle."
「 shòu zhì yú fán sú cái liào xiàn zhì , qián jǐ shì liàn zhì de tiān yáng xiān guī , zòng shǐ dōu yǒu yuán lì jīng cuì jiā 、 què yī jiù méi néng dǎ pò fán zhī jí xiàn 。 néng tuō zhù chuán fǎ yī duàn shí jiān , yǐ jīng shì tiān yáng zhàn dòu yì zhì jiān dìng le 。 bù guò , ruò shì zài róng liàn guò chéng zhōng càn zá cǐ wù ……」 lǐ fán sī xù yī shǎn ér guò 。
「受制于凡俗材料限制,前几世炼制的天阳仙傀,纵使都有源力精粹加、却依旧没能打破凡之极限。能拖住传法一段时间,已经是天阳战斗意志坚定了。不过,若是在熔炼过程中掺杂此物……」李凡思绪一闪而过。
"However, why did it leave its original world and suffer such calamity?" asked Li Fan.
yòu bǐ rú : yī dào qī cǎi liú guāng 。 gēn zhōng shén tōng zài diào yú chí zhōng chuí diào shàng lái de 【 qī cǎi yù xū liú guāng 】 kàn shàng qù jí wéi xiāng sì 。 bù guò qī cǎi yù xū liú guāng , nǎi shì dà shén tōng xiū shì jiāng 【 chóng yǎn 】 xiū xiān jiè guāng zhào shì jiè de qī dào liú guāng cǎi jí 、 liàn huà ér chéng 。 nǎi shì tiān dào yǎn huà , yùn hán shì jiè běn yuán 。 ér bǎi wén xiān lù zhōng de zhè yī shù liú guāng , zé shì yī bù zhī míng de xiū xiān jiè zài shì jiè zì rán zhōng jié hòu de cán liú wù 。 kě yǐ kàn zuò shì xiū xiān jiè de shī hái 。
又比如:一道七彩流光。跟钟神通在钓鱼池中垂钓上来的【七彩玉虚鎏光】看上去极为相似。不过七彩玉虚鎏光,乃是大神通修士将【崇衍】修仙界光照世界的七道鎏光采集、炼化而成。乃是天道衍化,蕴含世界本源。而百闻仙录中的这一束流光,则是一不知名的修仙界在世界自然终结后的残留物。可以看做是修仙界的尸骸。
Dao Sheng replied, "The Xuan Shang Immortal Ship actually had some reasonable guesses about this point. Heart demons are formless and intangible, unbound by space, able to freely traverse the starry seas. Without a physical body, they can even directly appear in a cultivator's mind. There have been cases where heart demons influenced cultivators, causing them to lose their minds as if transformed into someone else."
lǐ fán céng jīng qīn shēn jì liàn guò qī cǎi yù xū liú guāng 。 zài tā de gǎn wù zhōng , zhè liǎng zhǒng qī cǎi liú guāng suī rán běn zhì bìng bù xiāng tóng , què yǐn yǐn yǒu suǒ lián xì 。
李凡曾经亲身祭炼过七彩玉虚鎏光。在他的感悟中,这两种七彩鎏光虽然本质并不相同,却隐隐有所联系。
"The invasion of a heart demon is akin to the most refined form of possession," Dao Sheng continued. "Although this实体化的心魔非常特殊,它仍然摆脱不了心魔的本质。穿梭星海,寻找合适的宿主寄生,就是它的本能。或许这就是它出现在那被冰封世界的原因。"
「 huò xǔ shè jí shì jiè yóu sǐ zhì shēng zhī yǎn huà ……」 zhè yī shì zǎo yǐ jīng jiāng diào yú chí jù wéi jǐ yǒu de lǐ fán , zì rán ér rán shēng chū le yào jiāng liǎng zhǒng qī cǎi zhī guāng jí qí 、 zuò xiáng xì bǐ jiào de xiǎng fǎ 。
「或许涉及世界由死至生之衍化……」这一世早已经将钓鱼池据为己有的李凡,自然而然生出了要将两种七彩之光集齐、做详细比较的想法。
"Even with the strength it displayed when the world was frozen, a heart demon could not only affect cultivators but even the world's essence consciousness. It had the ability to corrupt other worlds' essence consciousness and replace them. Perhaps calling it a 'Heavenly Demon' would be more appropriate."
zài bǐ rú : yí gè sù shǒu ér lì 、 yǎn jiǎn dī chuí de yǒng ǒu 。 xuán shāng xiān zhōu yì wài suǒ de , wú lùn rú hé yán jiū dōu méi néng gǎo qīng chǔ qí zuò yòng 。 suì fàng zhì yú mì kù nèi , màn màn bèi shì rén yí wàng 。 dāng lǐ fán lù guò cǐ yǒng ǒu de shí hòu , tā qīng xī de chá jué dào le 【 hái zhēn 】 chuán lái de sī sī yì dòng 。 suī bù xiàng yù jiàn yǒng héng yí niàn nà bān jī dòng , dàn néng yǐn qǐ 【 hái zhēn 】 de fǎn yìng , zú yǐ shuō míng cǐ yǒng ǒu de fēi fán 。
再比如:一个素手而立、眼睑低垂的俑偶。玄商仙舟意外所得,无论如何研究都没能搞清楚其作用。遂放置于秘库内,慢慢被世人遗忘。当李凡路过此俑偶的时候,他清晰的察觉到了【还真】传来的丝丝异动。虽不像遇见永恒遗念那般激动,但能引起【还真】的反应,足以说明此俑偶的非凡。
---
「 yīng dāng yě shì gēn 【 dào zhī tóu yǐng 】 xiāng guān 。」 lǐ fán bù dòng shēng sè , shì xiàn méi duō zài yǒng ǒu shàng tíng liú 。
「应当也是跟【道之投影】相关。」李凡不动声色,视线没多在俑偶上停留。
Dao Sheng spoke eloquently, his words tinged with regret over losing such a treasure.
……
……
Li Fan's heart stirred as he recalled the scene from his previous life: during the Immortal Array's apocalyptic storm, the transmission body gradually dissolved to reveal its transparent form. The moment Li Fan saw this transparent figure, a faint sense of familiarity washed over him.
lǐ fán zài xiān zhōu mì kù zhōng nài xīn tiāo xuǎn , ér tā de shēn biān , shǐ zhōng gēn zhe sān wèi xiān zhōu de zhǎng lǎo 。
李凡在仙舟秘库中耐心挑选,而他的身边,始终跟着三位仙舟的长老。
It wasn't that Li Fan had seen this transparent figure before; rather, it was familiar due to the essence of similar entities he had once encountered: Heavenly Annihilation, Heavenly Decree, Heavenly Sound, and Heavenly Medicine.
tā men yě bù dǎ rǎo , zhǐ shì mò bù zuò shēng 、 jǐn jǐn dīng zhe lǐ fán de yī jǔ yī dòng 。
他们也不打扰,只是默不作声、紧紧盯着李凡的一举一动。
Or perhaps...
「 kàn lái , dāng nián de zéi rén zhēn de ràng xiān zhōu sǔn shī cǎn zhòng a 。 jí biàn yǒu le 【 duàn xiān bì 】 zhè yī zhòng bǎo xiǎn , zhū wèi dào yǒu yě réng bù fàng xīn 。」 lǐ fán jiǎo bù hū de dùn zhù , dǎ qù dào 。
「看来,当年的贼人真的让仙舟损失惨重啊。即便有了【断仙臂】这一重保险,诸位道友也仍不放心。」李凡脚步忽的顿住,打趣道。
From the Heaven Law Realm.
gān jīng dá 、 nán gōng liè 、 lù yǔ zhī sān rén , yǎn guān bí bí guān xīn , jiǎ zhuāng méi yǒu tīng dào de yàng zi 。
甘经达、南宫烈、陆宇之三人,眼观鼻鼻观心,假装没有听到的样子。
---
「 bù zhī dào dāng nián xiān zhōu jiū jìng diū le shén me ?」 lǐ fán jì xù tàn bǎo , suí kǒu wèn dào 。
「不知道当年仙舟究竟丢了什么?」李凡继续探宝,随口问道。
"Could it be a Heavenly Demon?" Li Fan thought. "A member of the Heaven Law Realm's revered ones?"
「 hēng hēng ……」 xiān zhōu zhǎng lǎo wén yán , duō shì miàn lù fèn hèn zhī sè 。
「哼哼……」仙舟长老闻言,多是面露愤恨之色。
"Heaven Law Realm's revered ones act on behalf of heaven to uphold its laws. A Heavenly Demon is the manifestation of the heart law path."
zhōng dào gōng de shēng yīn yuǎn yuǎn chuán lái :「 wǎng shì bù kān huí shǒu a 。 dàn bì jìng shì qíng yǐ jīng guò qù zhè me duō nián le , rú guǒ dào yǒu gǎn xìng qù de huà , gào sù nǐ yě wú fáng 。」
钟道恭的声音远远传来:「往事不堪回首啊。但毕竟事情已经过去这么多年了,如果道友感兴趣的话,告诉你也无妨。」
"But due to its nature, a Heavenly Demon roams through the starry seas and rarely returns to the Heaven Law Realm," Dao Sheng continued. "Unfortunately, it encountered an extremely rare stellar phenomenon that led to its eternal ice imprisonment."
「 dāng nián xiān zhōu diū shī de jǐ yàng zhì bǎo nèi , zuì wèi zhēn guì de nǎi shì yī 【 bīng jīng xiān pò 】。」 zhōng dào gōng de yǔ qì yǒu xiē miǎn huái 。
「当年仙舟丢失的几样至宝内,最为珍贵的乃是一【冰晶仙珀】。」钟道恭的语气有些缅怀。
"If not for Transmission Technique's intervention, it would have been forever frozen, becoming part of the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's collection."
jiàn dào shēng zhè wèi duàn xiān lóu shǒu xí , sì hū shì dāng nián shì jiàn de qīn lì zhě 。 tā hū de gǎn tàn dào :「 jí biàn xiàn zài , wǒ nǎo hǎi zhōng yě shí bù shí huì fú xiàn 【 bīng jīng xiān pò 】 nà mèng huàn mí lí de mú yàng 。 zhǐ hèn dāng nián méi néng qiáng yìng diǎn , chū miàn zǔ zhǐ 。 yǐ zhì yú niàng chéng cǎn jù 。」
见道升这位断仙楼首席,似乎是当年事件的亲历者。他忽的感叹道:「即便现在,我脑海中也时不时会浮现【冰晶仙珀】那梦幻迷离的模样。只恨当年没能强硬点,出面阻止。以致于酿成惨剧。」
"But why did Transmission Technique save a Heavenly Demon? And later, why was it corrupted by it?"
qí tā zhǎng lǎo yě shì fēn fēn gǎn tàn 。
其他长老也是纷纷感叹。
Li Fan suddenly saw Tianyi's figure. Based on their interactions in his previous life, Transmission Technique seemed to be under Tianyi's control.
lǐ fán hào qí dào :「 bīng jīng xiān pò ? míng zì dǎo shì tīng shàng qù jiù hěn měi 。 bù guò zhè dōng xī jiū jìng shì shén me ?」
李凡好奇道:「冰晶仙珀?名字倒是听上去就很美。不过这东西究竟是什么?」
Previously, Li Fan had speculated that Transmission Technique might have been a clone crafted by Tianyi.
zhōng dào gōng :「 bīng jīng xiān pò , shí zé shì yī chù bèi dòng jié de xiū xiān jiè 。 cǐ wù de yóu lái , yòu yào shè jí dào shàng gǔ shí qī , xīng hǎi zhōng yī zhǒng jí qí hǎn jiàn de tiān xiàng 。」
钟道恭:「冰晶仙珀,实则是一处被冻结的修仙界。此物的由来,又要涉及到上古时期,星海中一种极其罕见的天象。」
But now, the relationship between them appeared more complex.
lǐ fán liǎn shàng hǎo qí zhī sè yù nóng , xū xīn qǐng jiào dào :「 yuàn wén qí xiáng 。」
李凡脸上好奇之色愈浓,虚心请教道:「愿闻其详。」
"Transmission Technique, Xuanxuan Dog Egg. Perhaps it was reborn as the Immortal King," Li Fan thought. "For most of its life, it was just an ordinary person until something akin to a consciousness suddenly awakened and possessed it."
「 bǐ shí de xīng hǎi , kě bù xiàng xiàn zài zhè bān sǐ jì chén chén 。 chú le
「彼时的星海,可不像现在这般死寂沉沉。除了
---
shēng jī àng rán 、 jǐng xiàng gè yì de wú shù xiū xiān jiè , hái yǒu zhū duō xīng hǎi yì xiàng , bù shí fú xiàn 。」
生机盎然、景象各异的无数修仙界,还有诸多星海异象,不时浮现。」
Regardless, Li Fan now understood why Transmission Technique had been controlled by Tianyi.
「 tiān jīng yú yuè 、 xīng mǎ bēn liú 、 yīn yáng wō xuán ……」
「天鲸鱼跃、星马奔流、阴阳涡旋……」
"And perhaps that's also why there are no heart demons in the Xuan Shang Realm anymore," he thought. "With a实体化的心魔, there would be no smaller heart demons causing disturbances."
「 zhè xiē yì xiàng bào fā shí , wǎng wǎng huì fù gài yī zhěng piàn xīng yù 、 bō jí shù shí xiū xiān jiè 。 yǒu de zhǐ shì dān chún zài shì jiè tiān mù xiǎn xiàn yì jǐng , yǒu de zé shì huì duì xiū xiān jiè zào chéng miè shì zāi huò !」
「这些异象爆发时,往往会覆盖一整片星域、波及数十修仙界。有的只是单纯在世界天幕显现异景,有的则是会对修仙界造成灭世灾祸!」
Li Fan concluded that the reason for Transmission Technique being under Tianyi's control was due to the Heavenly Demon within his soul.
「【 càn jīng zhī fēng 】, zé shì qí zhōng zhī yī 。」
「【璨晶之风】,则是其中之一。」
He then realized that the Xuan Shang Realm had no more heart demons because of this entity.
「 bù zhī cóng hé ér lái de hán bīng zhī fēng , tū wù jiàng lín 。 cóng xīng kōng chuī xiàng dà dì 。 hán fēng suǒ guò zhī chù , shén me huà shén 、 hé dào 、 cháng shēng , quán dōu lián sī háo de fǎn yìng shí jiān dōu méi yǒu , chà nà bèi dòng jié 。 shì jiān yī qiè shēng líng , nǎi zhì shì jiè běn shēn , dōu zài càn jīng zhī fēng de chuī fú xià , huà zuò yī kuài bīng diāo 。」 zhōng dào gōng shǒu zhǐ qīng diǎn , xiān zhōu mì kù shàng fāng , biàn fú xiàn chū le hán fēng bīng jiè de hài rén jǐng xiàng 。
「不知从何而来的寒冰之风,突兀降临。从星空吹向大地。寒风所过之处,什么化神、合道、长生,全都连丝毫的反应时间都没有,刹那被冻结。世间一切生灵,乃至世界本身,都在璨晶之风的吹拂下,化作一块冰雕。」钟道恭手指轻点,仙舟秘库上方,便浮现出了寒风冰界的骇人景象。
---
「 bèi bīng fēng xiū xiān jiè , zì cǐ gū jì de tíng liú zài xīng hǎi zhōng 。 yǒng yuǎn yě bú huì yíng lái jiě dòng de nà tiān 。 rèn hé shì tú jiē jìn de shēng líng , yě huì bèi nà jué duì de hán qì bō jí , yào me zhòng chuāng táo dùn 、 yào me tóng yàng huà zuò yǒng shì bīng diāo 。」
「被冰封修仙界,自此孤寂的停留在星海中。永远也不会迎来解冻的那天。任何试图接近的生灵,也会被那绝对的寒气波及,要么重创逃遁、要么同样化作永世冰雕。」
"Speaking of which, who exactly stole it? And is he still alive?" Li Fan asked.
lǐ fán kàn zhe shàng fāng huà miàn , wēi wēi zhòu méi :「 wǒ shì míng bái zhè bīng jīng de yì si le 。 bù guò ,【 xiān pò 】 èr zì yòu zuò hé jiě ?」
李凡看着上方画面,微微皱眉:「我是明白这冰晶的意思了。不过,【仙珀】二字又做何解?」
"If we have enough information, perhaps Great Qi can help track down this thief," Dao Sheng suggested.
què shì jiàn dào shēng jiě shì le lǐ fán xīn zhōng de yí huò :「 rú guǒ jǐn jǐn shì bīng fēng yī jiè , yě bú huì bèi xuán shāng xiān zhōu shì zuò zhì bǎo 。 shì shí shàng ,【 càn jīng zhī fēng 】 fā shēng de gài lǜ suī rán xiǎo , dàn yǐ xīng hǎi zhī guǎng kuò wú yín 、 wàn wàn nián shí jiān jī lěi ……」
却是见道升解释了李凡心中的疑惑:「如果仅仅是冰封一界,也不会被玄商仙舟视作至宝。事实上,【璨晶之风】发生的概率虽然小,但以星海之广阔无垠、万万年时间积累……」
"Do you mean True Immortal inscriptions?" Dao Sheng asked.
「 cún shì de shì jiè bīng diāo shù liàng , bìng bú huì tè bié de shǎo 。」
「存世的世界冰雕数量,并不会特别的少。」
Li Fan shook his head. "No, it's a protective boundary artifact that integrates the power of arrays. Its nature is complex; I cannot explain it in detail."
「 xiān zhōu dāng nián shōu cáng de nà méi zhī suǒ yǐ jià zhí rú cǐ zhī gāo , què shì yīn wèi nà bèi bīng fēng xiū xiān jiè nèi , yǒu yī jí tè shū cún zài 。」 jiàn dào shēng yǔ qì huǎng hū , shì shì yòu huí dào le guò wǎng 。
「仙舟当年收藏的那枚之所以价值如此之高,却是因为那被冰封修仙界内,有一极特殊存在。」见道升语气恍惚,似是又回到了过往。
Although Li Fan was vague, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's civilizational depth had been sufficiently demonstrated by its earlier demonstration of the 'Creation' power.
「【 càn jīng zhī fēng 】, zì xīng kōng zhōng chuī fú ér xià 。 shì jiè běn yīng qǐng kè huà zuò bīng diāo 。 rán ér , nà fāng shì jiè jìng rán xiǎn xiàn yī dào xū huàn shēn yǐng , shì tú jiāng hán bīng zhī fēng gěi dǎng xià ……」
「【璨晶之风】,自星空中吹拂而下。世界本应顷刻化作冰雕。然而,那方世界竟然显现一道虚幻身影,试图将寒冰之风给挡下……」
Therefore, his statement did not raise suspicion among the ship elders.
「 bù guò , xīng hǎi yì xiàng , qǐ shì fán sú xiū shì suǒ néng zǔ dǎng ? jù shuō dāng nián xīng hǎi yì xiàng bào fā zuì wèi měng liè zhī shí , jí biàn shì zhēn xiān yě yào tuì bì 。 gèng bié tí wǒ men zhè xiē fán sú xiū shì le 。」
「不过,星海异象,岂是凡俗修士所能阻挡?据说当年星海异象爆发最为猛烈之时,即便是真仙也要退避。更别提我们这些凡俗修士了。」
---
「 suǒ yǐ jié guǒ xiǎn ér yì jiàn 。 zhěng jiù shì jiè de xíng wéi , bù guò shì táng bì dāng chē 、 zì qǔ miè wáng 。 dàn , bì jìng zǔ lán le nà me fēn háo …… shì jiè bù zài shì shùn xī zhī jiān bīng fēng 、 ér shì gěi le qí zhōng shēng líng nà me yī chà nà de fǎn yìng shí jiān 。」
「所以结果显而易见。拯救世界的行为,不过是螳臂当车、自取灭亡。但,毕竟阻拦了那么分毫……世界不再是瞬息之间冰封、而是给了其中生灵那么一刹那的反应时间。」
After some discussion, to avoid arousing Li Fan's suspicions, they showed him a recording of the thief from back then. Indeed, it was Transmission Technique's Highness.
jiàn dào shēng yǔ qì gǎn kǎi :「 zhèng shì zhè yī shùn jiān de biàn huà , zào jiù le wán quán yǔ zhòng bù tóng de bīng diāo 。 miè shì zāi è miàn qián , shēng líng shén qíng gè yì 。 yǒu huáng kǒng zhě , yǒu jué wàng zhě , yǒu jiàn nà dào shēn yǐng 、 xīn shēng xī wàng zhě 、 yǒu nán yǐ zhì xìn zhě …… dàng zhēn quán shì le shén me jiào bǎi tài zhòng shēng 。」
见道升语气感慨:「正是这一瞬间的变化,造就了完全与众不同的冰雕。灭世灾厄面前,生灵神情各异。有惶恐者,有绝望者,有见那道身影、心生希望者、有难以置信者……当真诠释了什么叫百态众生。」
However, there were subtle differences between this recorded image and what Li Fan had seen in his previous life.
「 ruò zhǐ yú cǐ , zuì duō yě zhǐ shì hǎn jiàn yì diǎn de bīng fēng shì jiè bà le 。 yě dāng bù dé wǒ men xiān zhōu wèi qí qǔ dé 【 xiān pò 】 èr zì 。」
「若只于此,最多也只是罕见一点的冰封世界罢了。也当不得我们仙舟为其取得【仙珀】二字。」
The expression seemed more vivid, almost like two people.
jiàn dào shēng jì xù shuō dào :「 zhī suǒ yǐ yòng 【 xiān 】 míng zhī , gèng yīn wèi nà dào shì tú dǎng zhù 【 càn jīng zhī fēng 】 de xū huàn shēn yǐng 。」
见道升继续说道:「之所以用【仙】名之,更因为那道试图挡住【璨晶之风】的虚幻身影。」
---
lǐ fán wén yán , bù jīn cāi cè dào :「 nán bù chéng , nà bīng fēng shì jiè lǐ , dàng zhēn fēng cún zhe yī wèi zhēn xiān ?」
李凡闻言,不禁猜测道:「难不成,那冰封世界里,当真封存着一位真仙?」
"Indeed, that is a remarkable treasure," Li Fan said with genuine admiration. "It's truly regrettable that such a valuable item was stolen."
jiàn dào shēng yáo yáo tóu :「 zhè dào méi yǒu 。 ruò yǒu zhēn xiān fēng cún , wǒ men xiān zhōu pà shì yě bù gǎn jiāng qí liú zài chuán shàng 。 dàn , guāng cóng jià zhí shàng lái kàn , nà dào shēn yǐng huò xǔ bǐ qǐ zhēn xiān hái yào zhēn guì 。 bì jìng xiān lù duàn jué qián , gè jiè dōu yǒu fēi shēng chéng xiān zhī rén 。」
见道升摇摇头:「这倒没有。若有真仙封存,我们仙舟怕是也不敢将其留在船上。但,光从价值上来看,那道身影或许比起真仙还要珍贵。毕竟仙路断绝前,各界都有飞升成仙之人。」
"What did the thief look like? Is he still alive?" Li Fan asked.
「 ér shí tǐ huà de 【 xīn mó 】, què dàng zhēn shì wén suǒ wèi yǒu 、 gèn gǔ hǎn jiàn !」
「而实体化的【心魔】,却当真是闻所未有、亘古罕见!」
"If we have enough information, Great Qi might be able to help track down this thief," Dao Sheng replied.
lǐ fán wén yán , yǎn jīng wēi mī :「 xīn mó ? shí tǐ huà ?」
李凡闻言,眼睛微眯:「心魔?实体化?」
"Do you mean True Immortal inscriptions?" Dao Sheng asked again.
shàng yī shì fù shēn zhào xián xiū xíng shí , lǐ fán yǐ jīng pǐn cháng guò le xīng hǎi zhōng xīn mó zī rǎo de guò chéng 。 zhǐ yào xiū xíng bù tíng , xīn mó jiù bàn suí zhěng gè xiū liàn shēng yá , bù zhǐ bù xiē 。 jiù suàn jiè zhù wài lì qiáng xíng yā zhì , bù jiǔ hòu yě huì juǎn tǔ chóng lái , yù yǎn yù liè 。 shàng yī shì zhào xián jiù shì yīn wèi shí zài bǎi tuō bù liǎo xīn mó de gān rǎo , jìng jiè tí shēng shòu dào yǐng xiǎng 。 cái huì bèi bù nài fán de lǐ fán zhí jiē yǐ dào dān zhī shù duó shě 。
上一世附身赵闲修行时,李凡已经品尝过了星海中心魔滋扰的过程。只要修行不停,心魔就伴随整个修炼生涯,不止不歇。就算借助外力强行压制,不久后也会卷土重来,愈演愈烈。上一世赵闲就是因为实在摆脱不了心魔的干扰,境界提升受到影响。才会被不耐烦的李凡直接以道丹之术夺舍。
Li Fan shook his head. "No, it's a protective boundary artifact that integrates the power of arrays. Its nature is complex; I cannot explain it in detail."
zhè hái shì xīng hǎi fǎ zé pò suì xià de xīn mó 。
这还是星海法则破碎下的心魔。
Although Li Fan was vague, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's civilizational depth had been sufficiently demonstrated by its earlier demonstration of the 'Creation' power.

即便被削减了数倍,依旧能对修士修行造成这么大的影响,可想而知上古星海法则完整之时,心魔又会是何等的恐怖。
Therefore, his statement did not raise suspicion among the ship elders.

难怪上古修士,都是谈心魔色变、人人避之不及。

不过李凡借由赵闲身
After some discussion, to avoid arousing Li Fan's suspicions, they showed him a recording of the thief from back then. Indeed, it was Transmission Technique's Highness.
qū jīng lì de , yě jǐn jǐn shì nèi xīn bèng fā de zhǒng zhǒng huàn xiàng 。 bìng méi yǒu kàn dào yǐn fā huàn xiàng de zhēn zhèng lái yuán 。
躯经历的,也仅仅是内心迸发的种种幻象。并没有看到引发幻象的真正来源。
However, there were subtle differences between this recorded image and what Li Fan had seen in his previous life.
「 xīn mó , yīng gāi shì mǒu zhǒng fǎ zé 。 jū rán hái huì yǒu shí tǐ ?」 lǐ fán yī fù jīng tàn bù yǐ 、 nán yǐ zhì xìn de yàng zi 。
「心魔,应该是某种法则。居然还会有实体?」李凡一副惊叹不已、难以置信的样子。
The expression seemed more vivid, almost like two people.
It was no ordinary treasure that the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship had come to collect; it was a unique existence, a heart demon frozen in ice.
---
The Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's collection of this ice-bound world was indeed precious, but why? The key lay in the identity of the illusory figure within. According to Dao Sheng, if not for witnessing it firsthand, no one could have imagined such a strange and wondrous existence.
"Back then, after gathering this ice-bound world, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship spent decades debating its true nature," Dao Sheng said. "In the end, they concluded that the illusory figure within was a heart demon. It was speculated to be an embodiment of another realm's heart law principle."
"However, why did it leave its original world and suffer such calamity?" asked Li Fan.
Dao Sheng replied, "The Xuan Shang Immortal Ship actually had some reasonable guesses about this point. Heart demons are formless and intangible, unbound by space, able to freely traverse the starry seas. Without a physical body, they can even directly appear in a cultivator's mind. There have been cases where heart demons influenced cultivators, causing them to lose their minds as if transformed into someone else."
"The invasion of a heart demon is akin to the most refined form of possession," Dao Sheng continued. "Although this实体化的心魔非常特殊,它仍然摆脱不了心魔的本质。穿梭星海,寻找合适的宿主寄生,就是它的本能。或许这就是它出现在那被冰封世界的原因。"
"Even with the strength it displayed when the world was frozen, a heart demon could not only affect cultivators but even the world's essence consciousness. It had the ability to corrupt other worlds' essence consciousness and replace them. Perhaps calling it a 'Heavenly Demon' would be more appropriate."
---
Dao Sheng spoke eloquently, his words tinged with regret over losing such a treasure.
Li Fan's heart stirred as he recalled the scene from his previous life: during the Immortal Array's apocalyptic storm, the transmission body gradually dissolved to reveal its transparent form. The moment Li Fan saw this transparent figure, a faint sense of familiarity washed over him.
It wasn't that Li Fan had seen this transparent figure before; rather, it was familiar due to the essence of similar entities he had once encountered: Heavenly Annihilation, Heavenly Decree, Heavenly Sound, and Heavenly Medicine.
Or perhaps...
From the Heaven Law Realm.
---
"Could it be a Heavenly Demon?" Li Fan thought. "A member of the Heaven Law Realm's revered ones?"
"Heaven Law Realm's revered ones act on behalf of heaven to uphold its laws. A Heavenly Demon is the manifestation of the heart law path."
"But due to its nature, a Heavenly Demon roams through the starry seas and rarely returns to the Heaven Law Realm," Dao Sheng continued. "Unfortunately, it encountered an extremely rare stellar phenomenon that led to its eternal ice imprisonment."
"If not for Transmission Technique's intervention, it would have been forever frozen, becoming part of the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's collection."
"But why did Transmission Technique save a Heavenly Demon? And later, why was it corrupted by it?"
Li Fan suddenly saw Tianyi's figure. Based on their interactions in his previous life, Transmission Technique seemed to be under Tianyi's control.
Previously, Li Fan had speculated that Transmission Technique might have been a clone crafted by Tianyi.
But now, the relationship between them appeared more complex.
"Transmission Technique, Xuanxuan Dog Egg. Perhaps it was reborn as the Immortal King," Li Fan thought. "For most of its life, it was just an ordinary person until something akin to a consciousness suddenly awakened and possessed it."
---
Regardless, Li Fan now understood why Transmission Technique had been controlled by Tianyi.
"And perhaps that's also why there are no heart demons in the Xuan Shang Realm anymore," he thought. "With a实体化的心魔, there would be no smaller heart demons causing disturbances."
Li Fan concluded that the reason for Transmission Technique being under Tianyi's control was due to the Heavenly Demon within his soul.
He then realized that the Xuan Shang Realm had no more heart demons because of this entity.
---
"Speaking of which, who exactly stole it? And is he still alive?" Li Fan asked.
"If we have enough information, perhaps Great Qi can help track down this thief," Dao Sheng suggested.
"Do you mean True Immortal inscriptions?" Dao Sheng asked.
Li Fan shook his head. "No, it's a protective boundary artifact that integrates the power of arrays. Its nature is complex; I cannot explain it in detail."
Although Li Fan was vague, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's civilizational depth had been sufficiently demonstrated by its earlier demonstration of the 'Creation' power.
Therefore, his statement did not raise suspicion among the ship elders.

"Indeed, that is a remarkable treasure," Li Fan said with genuine admiration. "It's truly regrettable that such a valuable item was stolen."
"What did the thief look like? Is he still alive?" Li Fan asked.
"If we have enough information, Great Qi might be able to help track down this thief," Dao Sheng replied.
"Do you mean True Immortal inscriptions?" Dao Sheng asked again.
