“ xiān fán yǒu bié 。 guāng píng wǒ men zì shēn ， xiǎng yào dá dào nà ge gāo dù ， dāng rán bù kě néng 。 suǒ yǐ cái xū yào jiè zhù 【 wài lì 】。 dāng nián shāng xiān zhōu rú cǐ ， rú jīn wǒ men xuán xiān zhōu yì shì rú cǐ ！” zhōng dào gōng wēi wēi yī xiào ， bìng méi yǒu jiě shì de hěn xiáng xì ， ér shì yǒu xiē mó léng liǎng kě de shuō dào 。
“仙凡有别。光凭我们自身，想要达到那个高度，当然不可能。所以才需要借助【外力】。当年商仙舟如此，如今我们玄仙舟亦是如此！”钟道恭微微一笑，并没有解释的很详细，而是有些模棱两可的说道。
"Indeed, this young man is quite troublesome," said See Dao Sheng as he stroked his beard and frowned.
“ wài lì ？ zhēn xiān zhuàn zì ？ zhè jiù shì nǐ men xiǎng yào gēn wǒ men dà qǐ lián shǒu de yuán yīn ？” lǐ fán zhí jiē wèn dào 。
“外力？真仙篆字？这就是你们想要跟我们大启联手的原因？”李凡直接问道。
"There's no way around it; with the True Immortal Seal Script in his possession, his array techniques are extraordinary, and his escape techniques are elusive. Moreover, he seems to be nearing the end of his lifespan, not fearing death at all... Such a person is best left unopposed."
“ shì …… yě bú shì 。” zhōng dào gōng shén sè mò míng 。
“是……也不是。”钟道恭神色莫名。
"Fortunately, he has only a few years left to live. Otherwise, our True Immortal Ship would likely face constant unrest in the future."
“ hǎo le ， jì rán dào yǒu yǐ jīng jiàn guò gāo qiáng bó ruò chù ， yě zhèng míng liǎo wǒ men xiān zhōu de chéng yì 。 bù rú ， xiān fǎn huí ān quán dì fāng zài lìng xíng shāng yì ？ cǐ chù fēi shì jiǔ liú zhī dì ……” zhōng dào gōng huà wèi shuō wán ， tā men shēn chù de cán jiè cháng chéng gāo diǎn ， hū de qīng wēi huàng dòng qǐ lái 。
“好了，既然道友已经见过高墙薄弱处，也证明了我们仙舟的诚意。不如，先返回安全地方再另行商议？此处非是久留之地……”钟道恭话未说完，他们身处的残界长城高点，忽的轻微晃动起来。
"I think his words were right. If Great Yan refuses to participate in the plan due to the protective boundary artifact's prediction of calamity, then we are his only support. After all, it is unrealistic for him alone to leap over the wall," Li Fan said as he continued discussing with the True Immortal Ship elders.
zhòng rén bù yóu cháo zhe
众人不由朝着
The resonating starlight grew more intense, and the wooden sword shadow that Li Fan had left behind was like a flickering candle, barely holding on.
“ xià ” fāng wàng qù 。 qún fēng zhī xià de zhì àn xīng hǎi nèi ， bù zhī wèi hé ， xiān qǐ le zhèn zhèn lián yī 。 rú yún hǎi bō tāo ， zài xīng hǎi zhōng lián mián bù jué 。
“下”方望去。群峰之下的至暗星海内，不知为何，掀起了阵阵涟漪。如云海波涛，在星海中连绵不绝。
A golden light flashed out, making it more stable. Li Fan searched for Qi Gong's whereabouts but found no trace of him.
“ shì huí dàng xīng lì ！” xiān zhōu zhòng zhǎng lǎo jiē shì wēi wēi sè biàn 。
“是回荡星力！”仙舟众长老皆是微微色变。
Previously, they had agreed to split up and search for suitable world fragments, leaving secret marks along the way. However, all these signs were blown away by the resonating starlight.
“ zhè yī cì bào fā de guī mó bù xiǎo ， kǒng pà duǎn shí jiān bú huì píng xī 。 wǒ men hái shì zǎo diǎn lí kāi wèi miào 。” zhōng dào gōng chén shēng dào 。
“这一次爆发的规模不小，恐怕短时间不会平息。我们还是早点离开为妙。”钟道恭沉声道。
"Are they all out of contact?" Li Fan was surprised.
lǐ fán jǔ mù yuǎn tiào 。 suī rán yóu yú shì jiǎo de niǔ qū ， bù néng kuī jiàn xīng hǎi zhōng jù tǐ shì wù 。 dàn lǐ fán yě néng yǐn yǐn chá jué dào zhè cì bào fā de huí dàng xīng lì de lái yuán 。
李凡举目远眺。虽然由于视角的扭曲，不能窥见星海中具体事物。但李凡也能隐隐察觉到这次爆发的回荡星力的来源。
"Fortunately, the 'Boundless to Near' array is not severely damaged," said Li Fan as he flew over and strengthened the array again before giving up on searching for them.
hǎo sì fáng bō tí de cán jiè cháng chéng ， yīn wèi qí zhōng yí gè cán jiè de xiāo shī 、 xíng chéng le yí gè quē kǒu 。
好似防波提的残界长城，因为其中一个残界的消失、形成了一个缺口。
"I can only hope they are lucky enough."
gāo qiáng xià jī xù de zhēn xiān cán lì ， qí zhōng yī bù fèn biàn zhǎo dào le xuān xiè kǒu bān 。 shùn zhe zhè ge lòu dòng ， hào dàng ér xià 。
高墙下积蓄的真仙残力，其中一部分便找到了宣泄口般。顺着这个漏洞，浩荡而下。
"With their luck, they should be able to survive just from the resonating starlight's eruption."
zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， shàng yī shì yě céng chū xiàn guò 。 shì yīn wèi tā de shèng tāi huà shēn ， zhǎn miè le tiān yī zhí rù xuán huáng jiè chì zhà shēn yuān zhōng de zhū duō cán jiè suì piàn ， yǐn dé qí bù dé bù chóng xīn qǔ jiè bǔ chōng suǒ dǎo zhì de 。
这种事情，上一世也曾出现过。是因为他的圣胎化身，斩灭了天医植入玄黄界叱咤深渊中的诸多残界碎片，引得其不得不重新取界补充所导致的。
"Once the storm gradually subsides, if they return safely, they will likely do so," Li Fan said as he passed through the array and returned to the Xuan Huang realm.
dàn zhè yī shì ， dǎo huǒ suǒ gēn běn méi yǒu fā shēng 。 cán jiè cháng chéng yòu yīn hé ér dòng dàng ？
但这一世，导火索根本没有发生。残界长城又因何而动荡？
Li Fan found that a few True Immortal remnants had leaked out of the array. After setting up a network of source essence to double-lock it, he finally managed to suppress the resonating starlight's vibrations.
“ nán bù chéng ， shì yīn shàng rén tā men gǎo chū de dòng jìng ？”
“难不成，是殷上人他们搞出的动静？”
"Among them, Yan Senior should be the one most likely to cause this sea anomaly," Li Fan thought as he recalled the strange expression on Yan Senior's face when they first arrived at the boundary wall.
“ bú huì rú cǐ lǔ mǎng cái duì ……” lǐ fán xīn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yí huò 。 zhèng zài sī lǜ jiān ， xiān zhōu zhòng zhǎng lǎo yǐ jīng shì dài zhe lǐ fán ， cóng xīng hǎi
“不会如此鲁莽才对……”李凡心中闪过一丝疑惑。正在思虑间，仙舟众长老已经是带着李凡，从星海
"He must have seen something in the memories of the world ghosts he absorbed."
“ gāo chù ” diē luò xià lái 。 shì yě jǐng xiàng jí sù biàn huàn ， hào hàn wú jì de zhì àn zhī hǎi bú jiàn 。 cán jiè cháng chéng yī jiù wēi rán sǒng lì ， zhī qián de
“高处”跌落下来。视野景象急速变幻，浩瀚无际的至暗之海不见。残界长城依旧巍然耸立，之前的
"But Yan Senior is not a rash person. If it were just that, he wouldn't risk moving the fragments recklessly..."
“ dēng lín shì jiè ”， fǎng fú yī cháng cuò jué bān 。 xiǎn rán dēng lín zhī jǔ ， duì yú xiān zhōu zhǎng lǎo men ér yán ， yě bìng fēi shì yī jiàn yì shì 。
“登临视界”，仿佛一场错觉般。显然登临之举，对于仙舟长老们而言，也并非是一件易事。
"The secrets behind this should be revealed once he returns," Li Fan thought as he had an inkling that Yan Senior was still alive somewhere within the boundary wall.
piàn kè gōng fu ， zhǎng lǎo men quán dōu biàn dé qì xī wěn luàn ， é tóu hàn zhū zhí mào 。 zhōng dào gōng liǎn sè níng zhòng ， cháo zhe cán jiè cháng chéng yuǎn chù 、 dòng dàng de yuán tóu kàn qù 。
片刻功夫，长老们全都变得气息紊乱，额头汗珠直冒。钟道恭脸色凝重，朝着残界长城远处、动荡的源头看去。
"And perhaps, it has something to do with the formation of the boundary wall."
dàn zuì zhōng què méi yǒu xuǎn zé yī tàn jiū jìng ， ér shì zǔ zhī 、 cuī cù zhòng rén lí kāi 。 fǎn huí xiān zhōu lù shàng ， yī jiù shì lǐ fán níng jiù jīn jiàn xū yǐng dài lù 。
但最终却没有选择一探究竟，而是组织、催促众人离开。返回仙舟路上，依旧是李凡凝就金剑虚影带路。
In the pitch-black sea, not only did the origin of the high walls remain unknown. The formation of the boundary wall itself was also a mystery. Countless destroyed cultivation worlds in the starlight had not gathered at the Xuan Vastness.
zhè cì xiān zhōu zhòng suàn shì zhēn zhèng tǐ yàn dào le ， zhè jiàn yǐng de sù dù dào dǐ yǒu duō kuài 。 dāng zhòng rén dào dá xuán xiān zhōu suǒ zài wèi zhì shí ， huí dàng xīng lì shèn zhì hái méi yǒu bō jí 。
这次仙舟众算是真正体验到了，这剑影的速度到底有多快。当众人到达玄仙舟所在位置时，回荡星力甚至还没有波及。
Instead, they piled up and formed an integrated whole under the high walls. In Li Fan's view, the force maintaining the boundary wall was no less than True Immortal remnants but was beyond his comprehension.
zhū wèi zhǎng lǎo kàn xiàng lǐ fán de shén qíng ， gèng shì bù tóng 。
诸位长老看向李凡的神情，更是不同。
Li Fan's experiences were far more extensive than those of ordinary cultivators. He had repeatedly explored without fear or consequence. The Xuan Huang realm and the pitch-black sea held few surprises for him now.
“ dào yǒu ， hái shì xiān jìn xiān zhōu 、 zài shāng tán hòu xù hé zuò jì huà ba 。” jiàn dào shēng zhǐ zhe dòng kāi de xiān zhōu mén hù ， xiào mī mī de shuō dào 。
“道友，还是先进仙舟、再商谈后续合作计划吧。”见道升指着洞开的仙舟门户，笑眯眯的说道。
This power that maintained the boundary wall was one such mystery. The deepest part of the dark sea was another. Li Fan took over a sturdy Yoyo person's body in Great Yan, gathered the Yoyo people, and initiated their journey into the dark sea before stepping inside.
shuí liào lǐ fán guǒ duàn yáo tóu jù jué ：“ hái shì bù liǎo 。 wǒ kǒng pà ， hái yào huí dà qǐ yī tàng 。” zhòng zhǎng lǎo liǎn sè dùn shí biàn dé yǒu xiē wēi miào qǐ lái 。
谁料李凡果断摇头拒绝：“还是不了。我恐怕，还要回大启一趟。”众长老脸色顿时变得有些微妙起来。
The endless darkness of the dark sea was perilous for ordinary cultivators but posed no threat to Li Fan as he moved forward with ease. He stopped at the core of the gathering spirit ascension array, a transparent platform that allowed him to see the True Immortal corpses above.
lǐ fán yí rán bù jù ， yī liǎn ào rán dào ：“ zěn me ？ wǒ kàn zhū wèi sì hū yǒu yì jiàn ？”
李凡怡然不惧，一脸傲然道：“怎么？我看诸位似乎有意见？”
He paused and did not venture deeper, stopping short of facing their survival desires.
“ zhè gēn zhī qián shuō hǎo de bù yí yàng ba ？ dào yǒu zhī xiǎo le wǒ men xiān zhōu zuì gāo jī mì jì huà 、 jiù xiǎng yī zǒu liǎo zhī ……” zhōng dào gōng miàn sè bù shàn ， qí tā zhǎng lǎo yě shì sǐ sǐ dīng zhe lǐ fán 、 qì xī jiāng tā suǒ dìng 。
“这跟之前说好的不一样吧？道友知晓了我们仙舟最高机密计划、就想一走了之……”钟道恭面色不善，其他长老也是死死盯着李凡、气息将他锁定。
Before him stood ancient storm clouds, towering like terrifying primordial beasts. Li Fan felt a familiar sensation as he looked down at this mass of energy.
“ hēng ， wǒ kàn nǐ men yě bù yòng bái fèi xīn sī le 。【 zhǎn xiān yī jiàn 】 zhū wèi yě dōu kàn guò ， ruò shì wǒ shǐ chū ， nǐ men shuí néng zǔ dǎng ？” lǐ fán bù jǐn bù màn 。
“哼，我看你们也不用白费心思了。【斩仙一剑】诸位也都看过，若是我使出，你们谁能阻挡？”李凡不紧不慢。
"Indeed, my intuition was correct!" Li Fan's eyes gleamed with recognition. The scene he had seen from the peak earlier, when using the high walls to gain perspective on the dark sea, now appeared before him.
zhòng zhǎng lǎo wén yán ， què zhǐ děng shì chén mò yǐ duì 。 dí què ， bǐ qǐ xīng hǎi zhēn xiān cán lì màn yán sù dù hái yào kuài 。
众长老闻言，却只等是沉默以对。的确，比起星海真仙残力蔓延速度还要快。
The storm clouds in the dark sea gradually overlapped with his vision, not as specific scenes but due to energy accumulation that made this part of the dark sea seem higher than others.
shèn zhì hái néng dài zhe duō rén yì qǐ …… zhè děng dùn shù ， dí què chāo hū le tā men de rèn zhī 。 rán ér ， jiù zhè me qīng yì fàng rèn lǐ fán lí kāi ， yě jué duì shì bù kě néng zhī shì 。
甚至还能带着多人一起……这等遁术，的确超乎了他们的认知。然而，就这么轻易放任李凡离开，也绝对是不可能之事。
"This should be the many peaks I saw from up there."
chǎng zhōng fēn wéi zhú jiàn jǐn zhāng qǐ lái ， hái shì lǐ fán zhǔ dòng dǎ pò jiāng jú ：“ zhū wèi hé bì rú cǐ ？ wǒ bù guò qù qù jiù huí 。 nǐ men de dān xīn wǒ yě zhī xiǎo ， wú fēi jiù shì pà wǒ jiāng nà gāo qiáng bó ruò wèi zhì xiè lòu bà le 。 dà kě bù bì ！”
场中氛围逐渐紧张起来，还是李凡主动打破僵局：“诸位何必如此？我不过去去就回。你们的担心我也知晓，无非就是怕我将那高墙薄弱位置泄露罢了。大可不必！”
"The energy gathered here is more 'high' compared to the entire Xuan Huang realm. Even more so than where we were under the high walls," Li Fan's eyes flickered as he thought rapidly, "Not only does the gathering spirit ascension array stand on True Immortal remnants, but it has been in place for nearly ten thousand years!"
“ cǐ fān huí qù ， wǒ zhǔn bèi zài cì quàn shuō 、 kàn kàn dà qǐ shì fǒu néng gòu huí xīn zhuǎn yì 。 qīn yǎn jiàn zhèng le gāo qiáng dí què cún zài zhè me yí gè bó ruò zhī chù ， shuō fú lì zhōng guī huì qiáng shàng bù shǎo 。 rú guǒ shī zūn tā men réng rán bù yuàn mào xiǎn ， wǒ dāng rán bú huì jiāng zhè mì mì bào lù 。 ruò shì jiǎo xìng néng shuō fú ……”
“此番回去，我准备再次劝说、看看大启是否能够回心转意。亲眼见证了高墙的确存在这么一个薄弱之处，说服力终归会强上不少。如果师尊他们仍然不愿冒险，我当然不会将这秘密暴露。若是侥幸能说服……”
"The arrangement was made by Heavenly Emperor Xuan to cross over the wall. However, due to various unforeseen events, Heavenly Emperor Xuan mysteriously disappeared, and the plan failed."
“ fǎn zhèng zuì zhōng dōu shì yào hé zuò de 、 yě wú suǒ wèi xiè lòu bù xiè lòu le 。”
“反正最终都是要合作的、也无所谓泄露不泄露了。”
"But the energy in the dark sea did not stop accumulating. Instead, it continued for nearly ten thousand years."
“ wǒ dà xiàn jiāng zhì 。 rú jīn zài lín sǐ qián ， yǒu xìn qīn yǎn jiàn dào le wéi yī néng héng kuà gāo qiáng de jī huì ， yòu zěn me huì fàng qì ？” lǐ fán yǔ zhòng xīn cháng de shuō dào 。
“我大限将至。如今在临死前，有信亲眼见到了唯一能横跨高墙的机会，又怎么会放弃？”李凡语重心长的说道。
"Over these ten thousand years, the starlight has undergone many changes. But the height of the wall surrounding the starlight remained unchanged. This means..." Li Fan scanned the dark sea below.
jiē xià lái ， gǒng le gǒng shǒu 。 jìng zài xiān zhōu zhǎng lǎo de chóng chóng bāo wéi zhōng ， zhí jiē jià yù jiàn yǐng 、 pò kōng ér qù 。
接下来，拱了拱手。竟在仙舟长老的重重包围中，直接驾驭剑影、破空而去。
The storm clouds gathered there suddenly transformed into peaks floating above the pitch-black sea, facing the high walls.
sù dù zhī kuài ， bāo kuò zhōng dào gōng dōu méi néng lái de jí zuò chū rèn hé de fǎn yìng 。 shēn yǐng yǐ jīng xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
速度之快，包括钟道恭都没能来得及做出任何的反应。身影已经消失不见。
"The True Immortal Ship regards these high points as treasures that can only be reached with external force."
“ zhè xiǎo zi ， dàng zhēn yǒu xiē nán chán 。” jiàn dào shēng fǔ xū zhòu méi dào 。
“这小子，当真有些难缠。”见道升抚须皱眉道。
"From here, crossing over the wall is much easier than elsewhere."
“ méi bàn fǎ ， shēn huái zhēn xiān zhuàn zì 、 zhèn fǎ chāo fán tuō sú ， dùn shù gèng shì shén chū guǐ mò 。 piān piān hái shì dà xiàn jiāng zhì ， gēn běn bù pà sǐ …… zhè yàng de rén ， zuì hǎo hái shì bú yào qīng yì yǔ zhī wèi dí 。”
“没办法，身怀真仙篆字、阵法超凡脱俗，遁术更是神出鬼没。偏偏还是大限将至，根本不怕死……这样的人，最好还是不要轻易与之为敌。”
"The only concern is that it might trigger their survival desires..."
“ yě xìng hǎo tā méi duō shǎo nián néng huó le 。 fǒu zé wǒ men xiān zhōu rì hòu kǒng pà bù dé ān níng 。”
“也幸好他没多少年能活了。否则我们仙舟日后恐怕不得安宁。”
"But if we are careful enough, there should be no problem," Li Fan found it slightly difficult to maintain his vantage point.
“ wǒ dǎo shì jué de ， tā nà fān huà shuō de méi cuò 。 dà qǐ ruò shì yīn wèi hù jiè xiān qì yù yán zāi nàn ér bù yuàn cān yù jì huà de huà ， nà me wǒ men xiān zhōu jiù shì tā wéi yī néng gòu yī kào de 。 bì jìng guāng píng tā yī rén ， jiù xiǎng héng yuè gāo qiáng ， xiǎn rán shì bù xiàn shí de ……” jiù zài xiān zhōu zhòng zhǎng lǎo yì lùn fēn fēn zhī jì ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng chóng xīn huí dào le cán jiè cháng chéng de biān jiè chù 。
“我倒是觉得，他那番话说的没错。大启若是因为护界仙器预言灾难而不愿参与计划的话，那么我们仙舟就是他唯一能够依靠的。毕竟光凭他一人，就想横跃高墙，显然是不现实的……”就在仙舟众长老议论纷纷之际，李凡已经重新回到了残界长城的边界处。
He took a deep breath and returned to normal. He began contemplating how to use the wealth left by Heavenly Emperor Xuan correctly.
huí dàng xīng lì rú tóng jiàn qǐ de fēng bào ， yù fā měng liè 。 lǐ fán cǐ qián liú zài zhè lǐ de mù jiàn xū yǐng ， yǐ rú fēng zhōng cán zhú bān 、 jí jí kě wēi 。
回荡星力如同渐起的风暴，愈发猛烈。李凡此前留在这里的木剑虚影，已如风中残烛般、岌岌可危。
"Just using high points as stepping stones is not enough; I need more data. Ideally, actual results would validate this..."
dǎ chū yī dào jīn guāng ， shǐ qí biàn dé gèng jiā wěn gù 。 lǐ fán zài zhōu wéi sōu xún qiǎo gōng děng rén de zōng jì ， què bú jiàn zōng yǐng 。
打出一道金光，使其变得更加稳固。李凡在周围搜寻巧工等人的踪迹，却不见踪影。
"The True Immortal Ship can be used as cannon fodder."
zhī qián shāng yì hǎo fēn bié qù xún zhǎo hé shì de shì jiè cán piàn yī lù huì liú xià de yǐn mì yìn jì ， yě quán dōu bèi huí dàng xīng lì chuī sàn 。
之前商议好分别去寻找合适的世界残片一路会留下的隐秘印记，也全都被回荡星力吹散。
"As part of the floating starlight array, the gathering spirit ascension array involves crossing over the wall. The Eye of the Yaku Beast also plays a similar role. This suggests that the Eye of the Yaku Beast might not just serve as navigation and locking..."
“ jū rán quán dōu shī lián le ？” lǐ fán yǒu xiē yì wài 。
“居然全都失联了？”李凡有些意外。
"Perhaps what he sees is akin to my previous dimensional perspective," Li Fan had an inkling.
“ hǎo zài 【 tiān yá zhǐ chǐ 】 dà zhèn shòu sǔn bù suàn yán zhòng 。” lǐ fán piāo shēn lái dào zhèn fǎ páng ， zài dù jiā qiáng le zhèn fǎ hòu ， fàng qì le qù xún zhǎo tā men de dǎ suàn 。
“好在【天涯咫尺】大阵受损不算严重。”李凡飘身来到阵法旁，再度加强了阵法后，放弃了去寻找他们的打算。
Controlling the Yoyo person's body, Li Fan spent seven days in the main control center of the gathering spirit ascension array until the Yoyo person could no longer bear the dense dark energy, being completely devoured by it.
“ zhǐ néng pàn tā men zì qiú duō fú le 。”
“只能盼他们自求多福了。”
His sense of presence vanished as he decided to stop. In the small world of Great Yan, Li Fan slowly opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings with his divine consciousness before returning to normal perspective, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
“ yǐ zhè jǐ rén de qì yùn ， jǐn jǐn shì bào fā ér lái de huí dàng xīng lì de huà ， tā men yě bù zhì yú yǔn luò 。”
“以这几人的气运，仅仅是爆发而来的回荡星力的话，他们也不至于陨落。”
"In ancient times, breaking through height limits allowed one to ascend to immortality."
“ dài dào fēng bào zhú jiàn píng xī ， ruò tā men ān rán wú yàng 、 yīng dāng zì huì fǎn huí 。” chuān guò dà zhèn ， fǎn huí xuán huáng jiè 。
“待到风暴逐渐平息，若他们安然无恙、应当自会返回。”穿过大阵，返回玄黄界。
"Later, the path to immortality was cut off by the high walls..."
lǐ fán fā xiàn bù chū suǒ liào de ， yǒu xiē xǔ zhēn xiān cán lì shùn zhe zhèn fǎ yì sàn chū lái 。 zài dà zhèn zhè biān yòu bù xià yuán lì jīng cuì zhī wǎng jìn xíng shuāng chóng fēng suǒ zhī hòu ， zhōng yú jiāng huí dàng xīng lì yǐn lái de zhèn dòng gěi xiāo shī 。
李凡发现不出所料的，有些许真仙残力顺着阵法逸散出来。在大阵这边又布下源力精粹之网进行双重封锁之后，终于将回荡星力引来的震动给消失。
"But perhaps these two principles are somewhat similar," Li Fan felt a profound insight as he looked at the myriad lives in Great Yan.
“ jǐ rén zhōng ， ruò shuō shuí zuì kě néng yǐn qǐ zhè chǎng xīng hǎi yì dòng ， yīng dāng jiù shì yīn shàng rén le 。” lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng huí xiǎng zhe zhī qián chū dào cán jiè cháng chéng shí ， yīn shàng rén liǎn shàng nà yǒu xiē gǔ guài de shén qíng 。
“几人中，若说谁最可能引起这场星海异动，应当就是殷上人了。”李凡脑海中回想着之前初到残界长城时，殷上人脸上那有些古怪的神情。
"The height of the wall might be higher than the height required for immortality. After all, Heavenly Emperor Xuan could ascend the immortal path but couldn't cross the wall."
“ yīng gāi shì jiàn dào le ， céng jīng bèi tā xī qǔ de shì jiè yōu hún de jì yì zhōng huà miàn 。”
“应该是见到了，曾经被他吸取的世界幽魂的记忆中画面。”
"Thinking differently, if I can now leap over the wall, perhaps back then, I would have ascended to immortality," Li Fan's mind wandered as he spoke.
“ dàn yīn shàng rén yě jué bú shì lǔ mǎng zhī rén 。 ruò zhǐ shì rú cǐ ， yě bù zhì yú bù jì hòu guǒ 、 wàng dòng cán jiè suì piàn ……”
“但殷上人也绝不是鲁莽之人。若只是如此，也不至于不计后果、妄动残界碎片……”
"Immortal..." A thousand years had passed, and circumstances changed. The same realm meant one could ascend to immortality while another was trapped beneath a high wall.
“ zhè qí zhōng mì mì ， děng yīn shàng rén huí lái ， yīng gāi néng jiē xiǎo 。” lǐ fán xīn zhōng míng míng yǒu zhǒng yù gǎn ， yīn shàng rén hái cún huó zài cán jiè cháng chéng mǒu gè jiǎo luò lǐ 。
“这其中秘密，等殷上人回来，应该能揭晓。”李凡心中冥冥有种预感，殷上人还存活在残界长城某个角落里。
Even if they could leap, they still faced the unknown risks behind the wall.
shèn zhì hái zāo yù le tiān dà de zào huà 。
甚至还遭遇了天大的造化。
"The path is easier now; immortality doesn't mean being an immortal," Li Fan sighed.
“ huò xǔ ， gēn cán jiè cháng chéng de xíng chéng yǒu guān ？” lǐ fán xīn zhōng hū de rú cǐ xiǎng dào 。 zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng ， bù jǐn jǐn gāo qiáng cóng hé ér lái bù dé suǒ zhī 。
“或许，跟残界长城的形成有关？”李凡心中忽的如此想道。至暗星海中，不仅仅高墙从何而来不得所知。
"If my guess is correct, the means of constructing the walls and the constraints on ascending to immortality are similar. That would be interesting," Li Fan thought as he pondered further.
"Indeed, this young man is quite troublesome," said See Dao Sheng as he stroked his beard and frowned.
"There's no way around it; with the True Immortal Seal Script in his possession, his array techniques are extraordinary, and his escape techniques are elusive. Moreover, he seems to be nearing the end of his lifespan, not fearing death at all... Such a person is best left unopposed."
"Fortunately, he has only a few years left to live. Otherwise, our True Immortal Ship would likely face constant unrest in the future."
"I think his words were right. If Great Yan refuses to participate in the plan due to the protective boundary artifact's prediction of calamity, then we are his only support. After all, it is unrealistic for him alone to leap over the wall," Li Fan said as he continued discussing with the True Immortal Ship elders.
The resonating starlight grew more intense, and the wooden sword shadow that Li Fan had left behind was like a flickering candle, barely holding on.
A golden light flashed out, making it more stable. Li Fan searched for Qi Gong's whereabouts but found no trace of him.
Previously, they had agreed to split up and search for suitable world fragments, leaving secret marks along the way. However, all these signs were blown away by the resonating starlight.
"Are they all out of contact?" Li Fan was surprised.
"Fortunately, the 'Boundless to Near' array is not severely damaged," said Li Fan as he flew over and strengthened the array again before giving up on searching for them.
"I can only hope they are lucky enough."
"With their luck, they should be able to survive just from the resonating starlight's eruption."
"Once the storm gradually subsides, if they return safely, they will likely do so," Li Fan said as he passed through the array and returned to the Xuan Huang realm.
Li Fan found that a few True Immortal remnants had leaked out of the array. After setting up a network of source essence to double-lock it, he finally managed to suppress the resonating starlight's vibrations.
"Among them, Yan Senior should be the one most likely to cause this sea anomaly," Li Fan thought as he recalled the strange expression on Yan Senior's face when they first arrived at the boundary wall.
"He must have seen something in the memories of the world ghosts he absorbed."
"But Yan Senior is not a rash person. If it were just that, he wouldn't risk moving the fragments recklessly..."
"The secrets behind this should be revealed once he returns," Li Fan thought as he had an inkling that Yan Senior was still alive somewhere within the boundary wall.
"And perhaps, it has something to do with the formation of the boundary wall."
In the pitch-black sea, not only did the origin of the high walls remain unknown. The formation of the boundary wall itself was also a mystery. Countless destroyed cultivation worlds in the starlight had not gathered at the Xuan Vastness.
Instead, they piled up and formed an integrated whole under the high walls. In Li Fan's view, the force maintaining the boundary wall was no less than True Immortal remnants but was beyond his comprehension.
Li Fan's experiences were far more extensive than those of ordinary cultivators. He had repeatedly explored without fear or consequence. The Xuan Huang realm and the pitch-black sea held few surprises for him now.
This power that maintained the boundary wall was one such mystery. The deepest part of the dark sea was another. Li Fan took over a sturdy Yoyo person's body in Great Yan, gathered the Yoyo people, and initiated their journey into the dark sea before stepping inside.
The endless darkness of the dark sea was perilous for ordinary cultivators but posed no threat to Li Fan as he moved forward with ease. He stopped at the core of the gathering spirit ascension array, a transparent platform that allowed him to see the True Immortal corpses above.
He paused and did not venture deeper, stopping short of facing their survival desires.
Before him stood ancient storm clouds, towering like terrifying primordial beasts. Li Fan felt a familiar sensation as he looked down at this mass of energy.
"Indeed, my intuition was correct!" Li Fan's eyes gleamed with recognition. The scene he had seen from the peak earlier, when using the high walls to gain perspective on the dark sea, now appeared before him.
The storm clouds in the dark sea gradually overlapped with his vision, not as specific scenes but due to energy accumulation that made this part of the dark sea seem higher than others.
"This should be the many peaks I saw from up there."
"The energy gathered here is more 'high' compared to the entire Xuan Huang realm. Even more so than where we were under the high walls," Li Fan's eyes flickered as he thought rapidly, "Not only does the gathering spirit ascension array stand on True Immortal remnants, but it has been in place for nearly ten thousand years!"
"The arrangement was made by Heavenly Emperor Xuan to cross over the wall. However, due to various unforeseen events, Heavenly Emperor Xuan mysteriously disappeared, and the plan failed."
"But the energy in the dark sea did not stop accumulating. Instead, it continued for nearly ten thousand years."
"Over these ten thousand years, the starlight has undergone many changes. But the height of the wall surrounding the starlight remained unchanged. This means..." Li Fan scanned the dark sea below.
The storm clouds gathered there suddenly transformed into peaks floating above the pitch-black sea, facing the high walls.
"The True Immortal Ship regards these high points as treasures that can only be reached with external force."
"From here, crossing over the wall is much easier than elsewhere."
"The only concern is that it might trigger their survival desires..."
"But if we are careful enough, there should be no problem," Li Fan found it slightly difficult to maintain his vantage point.
He took a deep breath and returned to normal. He began contemplating how to use the wealth left by Heavenly Emperor Xuan correctly.
"Just using high points as stepping stones is not enough; I need more data. Ideally, actual results would validate this..."
"The True Immortal Ship can be used as cannon fodder."
"As part of the floating starlight array, the gathering spirit ascension array involves crossing over the wall. The Eye of the Yaku Beast also plays a similar role. This suggests that the Eye of the Yaku Beast might not just serve as navigation and locking..."
"Perhaps what he sees is akin to my previous dimensional perspective," Li Fan had an inkling.
Controlling the Yoyo person's body, Li Fan spent seven days in the main control center of the gathering spirit ascension array until the Yoyo person could no longer bear the dense dark energy, being completely devoured by it.
His sense of presence vanished as he decided to stop. In the small world of Great Yan, Li Fan slowly opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings with his divine consciousness before returning to normal perspective, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"In ancient times, breaking through height limits allowed one to ascend to immortality."
"Later, the path to immortality was cut off by the high walls..."
"But perhaps these two principles are somewhat similar," Li Fan felt a profound insight as he looked at the myriad lives in Great Yan.
"The height of the wall might be higher than the height required for immortality. After all, Heavenly Emperor Xuan could ascend the immortal path but couldn't cross the wall."
"Thinking differently, if I can now leap over the wall, perhaps back then, I would have ascended to immortality," Li Fan's mind wandered as he spoke.
"Immortal..." A thousand years had passed, and circumstances changed. The same realm meant one could ascend to immortality while another was trapped beneath a high wall.
Even if they could leap, they still faced the unknown risks behind the wall.
"The path is easier now; immortality doesn't mean being an immortal," Li Fan sighed.
"If my guess is correct, the means of constructing the walls and the constraints on ascending to immortality are similar. That would be interesting," Li Fan thought as he pondered further.
