zì lǐng wù chū mù jiàn xū yǐng dùn shù yǐ lái , lǐ fán hái shì dì yī cì zāo yù dào zhè shén tōng bèi wài jiè rú cǐ jù liè yǐng xiǎng de qíng kuàng 。 shèn zhì tā dōu yǐn yǐn xīn shēng yù gǎn , ruò bú shì gāng gāng 【 hái zhēn 】 xī shōu le sān chā zhī shù 、 zì jǐ duì zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn de lǐng wù gēng shēn yī bù 。
自领悟出木剑虚影遁术以来,李凡还是第一次遭遇到这神通被外界如此剧烈影响的情况。甚至他都隐隐心生预感,若不是刚刚【还真】吸收了三叉之树、自己对真假之变的领悟更深一步。
Since the division of the world into three hundred and more years, the Central Plains have been filled with music and dance, while the barbarians sharpen their weapons. Swordsmen of the江湖纵横, and great generals suppress all directions.
kǒng pà jiù zhè měng dì yī xià zhuì luò , zuì shǎo yě shì gè shén tōng wǎ jiě 、 shēn shòu zhòng shāng de xià chǎng 。
恐怕就这猛地一下坠落,最少也是个神通瓦解、身受重伤的下场。
Five years before the chaos of the world, on a rainy night, a twelve-year-old medicine master named Li Guan-yi killed someone.
hǎo zài lǐ fán bì jìng jìn bù le shǎo xǔ 。
好在李凡毕竟进步了少许。
Finally opening his eyes, he saw this chaotic world.
zhèng shì zhè yī dīng diǎn de jìn bù , shǐ tā kān kān wéi chí zhù le mù jiàn xū yǐng bù sàn , chéng gōng jìn rù le cán jiè cháng chéng zhōng de wā dì jié diǎn !
正是这一丁点的进步,使他堪堪维持住了木剑虚影不散,成功进入了残界长城中的洼地节点!
Bones piled up under the hooves of horses, great generals, beauties, swordsmen, divine weapons, and common people.
gēn lǐ fán zhī qián yù dào de 、 nà ge yòng lái cún chǔ zhēn xiān cán lì de xù shuǐ chí wā dì bù tóng 。
跟李凡之前遇到的、那个用来存储真仙残力的蓄水池洼地不同。
Since ancient times, only white bones and yellow sand fields have been seen!
tà rù cǐ chù hòu , néng gòu míng xiǎn chá jué dào 、 yīn gāo dī zhī shì de měng liè biàn huà dǎo zhì de cǐ dì gēn wài jiè de bù tóng 。
踏入此处后,能够明显察觉到、因高低之势的猛烈变化导致的此地跟外界的不同。
Scholars were trampled by iron hooves; Buddhas were swept away by long spears!
jiù xiàng dà dì shàng hū de liè kāi 、 shēn bú jiàn dǐ de dì fèng 。
就像大地上忽的裂开、深不见底的地缝。
Poet Li Guan-yi, please let this world die with me!
lǐ fán děng rén cǐ kè , jiù zhuì luò yuān dǐ 、 yǎng wàng lù chū lái de lián mián yī xiàn cāng qióng 。
李凡等人此刻,就坠落渊底、仰望露出来的连绵一线苍穹。
---
zhǐ bù guò , zhè lǐ de tiān qióng , shì chōng mǎn sǐ jì de yī piàn qī hēi 。
只不过,这里的天穹,是充满死寂的一片漆黑。
Li Fan observed the surging life force around him. The erosion caused by the剥离生机之力 was evident. His hand, struck by the impact, turned pale instantly. The flesh seemed to be drained of its vitality, leaving the bones visible beneath. Moreover, this loss of life force gradually spread to other parts of his body.
ér cǐ chù dì fèng wā dì ……
而此处地缝洼地……
Li Fan decisively severed his arm to stop the further erosion caused by the剥离生机之力. The severed hand fell into the river of life force. Without the protection of his body, it quickly melted like wax under high heat and disappeared.
lǐ fán méi yǒu shōu qǐ mù jiàn xū yǐng 、 yī jiù yòng tā bì yòu zhe yīn shàng rén yǔ bǎi huā 。
李凡没有收起木剑虚影、依旧用它庇佑着殷上人与百花。
It became part of the river of life force.
zì jǐ zé shì shǎn shēn , lái dào xū yǐng zhī wài 。
自己则是闪身,来到虚影之外。
"This power..."
qiè shēn gǎn wù zhe cǐ chù 。
切身感悟着此处。
After regenerating his arm, Li Fan moved it slightly, recalling the details he had sensed before. It was not a simple extraction of life force; instead, it flushed away the foundation on which life force relied. Without this base, life force could only flow with the current.
zhōu wéi yī jiù shì yī piàn yōu àn 。
周围依旧是一片幽暗。
This was an incomprehensible feeling.
dàn zhè lǐ de “ hēi ”, gēn wài jiè de sǐ jì xū kōng bù yí yàng 。
但这里的“黑”,跟外界的死寂虚空不一样。
Li Fan still couldn't understand what the foundation of life force was, but he could clearly feel its loss.
gèng xiàng shì shèng xià de yè mù jiàng lín , yǒu bó fā shēng jī , yùn cáng qí zhōng !
更像是盛夏的夜幕降临,有勃发生机,蕴藏其中!
"Indeed, beyond comprehension."
“ gāo qiáng de dì fèng jié diǎn , jìng rán yǒu rú cǐ páng dà de shēng jī huì jù ?” lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī jīng 。
“高墙的地缝节点,竟然有如此庞大的生机汇聚?”李凡心中一惊。
"But..."
gèng jiā zǐ xì dǎ liàng zhī hòu , tā què dìng zhè yī qiè dōu bú shì zì jǐ de cuò jué 。
更加仔细打量之后,他确定这一切都不是自己的错觉。
"It seems to share some commonality with the Wall?"
lǐ fán jìn yí bù de guān chá 。
李凡进一步的观察。
Li Fan thought aloud: "The so-called Wall is actually a restriction imposed by supreme rules. There is no path ahead; or perhaps there is none at all!"
dì fèng jié diǎn zhōng , chú le chún cuì de shēng jī zhī wài , sì hū hái bìng méi yǒu yùn yù shēng líng 。
地缝节点中,除了纯粹的生机之外,似乎还并没有孕育生灵。
"While this life force in the cracks drains the foundation of life maintenance."
ér qiě , zhè lǐ de shí jì fàn wéi yě bìng bù xiàng zhèng cháng shì jiǎo xià kàn de nà yàng , zhǐ shì yī yú zhī dì 。 fǎn ér shì wú qióng wú jìn de cháo zhe wài jiè màn yán , yǎn rán gēn běn méi yǒu jìn tóu de mú yàng 。
而且,这里的实际范围也并不像正常视角下看的那样,只是一隅之地。反而是无穷无尽的朝着外界蔓延,俨然根本没有尽头的模样。
...
zàn shí méi yǒu wēi xiǎn , lǐ fán zhè cái shōu qǐ shén tōng 。
暂时没有危险,李凡这才收起神通。
The crack-filled area was hidden beneath normal star seas, like underground rivers scattered throughout the star sea.
yīn shàng rén yǔ bǎi huā yī liǎn jīng yì de kàn zhe zhōu wéi 。
殷上人与百花一脸惊异的看着周围。
Its scale was vast, suggesting only a powerful entity could have built it.
cǐ dì shēng jī de dàn shēng , xiǎn rán yǒu xiē chāo chū le tā men de rèn zhī 。 jīng shén jǐn bēng , wéi kǒng fù jìn de yōu àn lǐ 、 huì yǒu mò míng shēng wù tū rán mào chū lái xí jī 。
此地生机的诞生,显然有些超出了他们的认知。精神紧绷,唯恐附近的幽暗里、会有莫名生物突然冒出来袭击。
"Perhaps as Mr. Yin guessed, it's used to extract and seal the life force born in the star sea?"
lǐ fán kàn dào èr rén biǎo xiàn , zhè cái jǐng jué , tā men sì hū bìng bù xiàng zì jǐ zhè bān dàn rán 。
李凡看到二人表现,这才警觉,他们似乎并不像自己这般淡然。
But Li Fan soon felt a doubt.
fán shì huò xǔ shì dì yī cì tǐ huì dào 【 shì zhī gāo dī 】 de yuán gù , tuō lí le yǔ shēng jù zài de qū yù , dǎo zhì xīn shén bù níng 、 huáng huáng nán ān 。
凡是或许是第一次体会到【势之高低】的缘故,脱离了与生俱在的区域,导致心神不宁、惶惶难安。
Life force had indeed been extracted, but not completely. Because over thousands of years, the star sea had absorbed a large amount of life force, which still lay quietly here!
jiù hǎo sì cháng nián shēng huó zài gāo yuán shàng de fán rén , dǒu rán jiān lái dào le xuán yá zhī diān 、 dì dǐ yōu gǔ , bìng qiě méi yǒu zì bǎo fáng hù zhī lì 。 nán miǎn huì zì rán ér rán de chǎn shēng xīn jìng biàn huà 。
就好似常年生活在高原上的凡人,陡然间来到了悬崖之巅、地底幽谷,并且没有自保防护之力。难免会自然而然的产生心境变化。
While entering the crack was extremely difficult; Li Fan couldn't detect that minuscule node entrance even after numerous trips between the Wall and the Crack.
chén shēng ān fǔ le jǐ jù , lǐ fán dài zhe tā men màn màn zài dì fèng wā dì zhōng kāi shǐ tàn suǒ 。
沉声安抚了几句,李凡带着他们慢慢在地缝洼地中开始探索。
But it wasn't impossible by chance.
yī piàn jì jìng wú shēng 。
一片寂静无声。
For example, this time, Xu Ke entered the crack due to the reverberating star power's disturbance.
chún jìng de 、 wǎn ruò chuàng shì zhī chū cái yǒu de shēng jī , rú dì xià àn hé bān , zài cǐ dì qiāo qiāo liú tǎng 。
纯净的、宛若创世之初才有的生机,如地下暗河般,在此地悄悄流淌。
"If he really wanted to cut off the life force of the star sea, with His means to build the Wall and dig through the cracks, He could have directly extracted these life forces outside the Wall."
shēng jī shēng téng ér shàng , què yòu táo bù chū shēn shēn de dì fèng 。
生机升腾而上,却又逃不出深深的地缝。
"But instead, they remain within the star sea..."
zhǐ shì zài cǐ chù yīn yūn 、 huì jù 。
只是在此处氤氲、汇聚。
Li Fan pondered, his expression inexplicable: "Either the creator of the crack is a different entity from that of the Wall."
lǐ fán mǐn ruì de chá jué dào , zhè lǐ de shēng jī , gēn xuán huáng jiè zhōng yùn yù shēng mìng de shēng jī , yǒu zhe xiǎn zhù de bù tóng 。
李凡敏锐的察觉到,这里的生机,跟玄黄界中孕育生命的生机,有着显著的不同。
"Or it was intentional."
ruò shì xuán huáng jiè zhōng yǒu rú cǐ tiān liàng de shēng jī , bì dìng huì cuī fā chū zhǒng zhǒng bù kě sī yì de biàn huà 。 shān chuān bá dì ér qǐ , shù mù cān tiān lián mián 。 yì kěn dìng bàn suí zhe wú shù xīn wù zhǒng 、 xīn shēng líng de dàn shēng 。
若是玄黄界中有如此天量的生机,必定会催发出种种不可思议的变化。山川拔地而起,树木参天连绵。亦肯定伴随着无数新物种、新生灵的诞生。
Suddenly, Li Fan's mind visualized the entire star sea.
dàn zài zhè lǐ , shēng jī què jǐn jǐn shì shēng jī bà le 。
但在这里,生机却仅仅是生机罢了。
Around the star sea, high walls stood, sealing it off. At the bottom of the star sea, cracks were densely packed, interconnected channels, extracting and preserving the life force of the star sea.
bìng bù fú hé shēng mìng dàn shēng yǎn huà de tiáo jiàn , jiù hǎo sì yī tán sǐ shuǐ 、 gěi rén yī zhǒng guǐ yì wú bǐ de gǎn jué 。
并不符合生命诞生衍化的条件,就好似一潭死水、给人一种诡异无比的感觉。
At the edge of the star sea,
“ huò xǔ shì cǐ chù zhī shì , tài dī de yuán gù 。”
“或许是此处之势,太低的缘故。”
the supreme Wall and the lowest crack
lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù jīn rú cǐ xiǎng dào 。
李凡心中不禁如此想道。
gathered together.
màn bù tàn suǒ le dà bàn tiān de shí jiān , zhōu wéi de jǐng xiàng dōu méi yǒu shén me míng xiǎn de biàn huà 。
慢步探索了大半天的时间,周围的景象都没有什么明显的变化。
"Star Sea Marvel."
lǐ fán zhòu méi , ràng yīn shàng rén 、 bǎi huā yuán dì děng hòu 。
李凡皱眉,让殷上人、百花原地等候。
"To the life forms in the star sea, they are all sources of despair. But..."
zì jǐ zé shì yù shǐ zhe mù jiàn xū yǐng , jí sù qián xíng 。
自己则是御使着木剑虚影,急速前行。
"This crack might not be."
yǐ tā cǐ kè de dùn shù sù dù , bú dào yī tiān jiù néng héng dù zhěng gè zhì àn xīng hǎi 。
以他此刻的遁术速度,不到一天就能横渡整个至暗星海。
Li Fan's scene changed again.
dàn lǐ fán què hài rán fā xiàn , zhè dì fèng wā dì , yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng zhōng de hái yào xiá cháng !
但李凡却骇然发现,这地缝洼地,远比想象中的还要狭长!
"The star sea revives from its destruction. However, to recreate life is not something that can be done overnight."
shèn zhì suí zhe qián xíng , lǐ fán hái fā xiàn zhè dì fèng hái rú tóng mí gōng yì bān , zài zǒu xiàng shàng jiàn jiàn shēn chū bù tóng de fēn zhī 。
甚至随着前行,李凡还发现这地缝还如同迷宫一般,在走向上渐渐伸出不同的分支。
"In particular, over thousands of years, remnants of true immortals still linger and have not dispersed. Even if life force recovers, it will soon be polluted by the remnants of true immortals. It's like a scorching desert; even if there is some rain during the day, it will quickly evaporate."
qǐ chū hái hǎo , yě zhǐ shì gè wèi shù fēn chà 。
起初还好,也只是个位数分叉。
"The slowly emerging life force throughout the star sea is merely wasted and cannot truly nurture life in the star sea."
dàn hòu lái , měi yí gè fēn zhī dōu tōng xiàng shù shí 、 shàng bǎi bù tóng de tōng dào 。
但后来,每一个分支都通向数十、上百不同的通道。
"But if they were all collected..."
měi gè tōng dào bù jiǔ hòu , yòu shì dà liàng de fēn zhī mián yán 。
每个通道不久后,又是大量的分支绵延。
Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
dào le hòu lái , jí biàn shēn jù nì tiān dùn shù , lǐ fán què yě bù gǎn mào rán shēn rù le 。
到了后来,即便身具逆天遁术,李凡却也不敢贸然深入了。
I recommend a new book by Yan Shen.
zhè dì fèng mí gōng , shí zài tài dà 。
这地缝迷宫,实在太大。
The world has been divided for more than three hundred years. The Central Plains are filled with music and dance, while barbarians sharpen their weapons. Swordsmen of the江湖纵横, and great generals suppress all directions.
jí sù tàn suǒ le sān tiān , lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng yǐ jīng gòu jiāng zhěng gè zhì àn xīng hǎi quán dōu guàng yī biàn le 。
急速探索了三天,理论上来讲已经够将整个至暗星海全都逛一遍了。
Five years before the chaos of the world, at night, a twelve-year-old medicine master named Li Guan-yi killed someone.
rán ér cǐ kè què gēn běn kàn bú dào dì fèng mí gōng de jìn tóu 。
然而此刻却根本看不到地缝迷宫的尽头。
Finally opening his eyes, he saw this chaotic world.
lǐ fán zhǐ dé xiān píng jiè zhe lái shí de jì yì fǎn huí 。
李凡只得先凭借着来时的记忆返回。
Bones piled up under the hooves of horses, great generals, beauties, swordsmen, divine weapons, and common people.
xiàng yīn shàng rén tā men shuō míng qíng kuàng hòu , èr rén jiē shì zhèn dòng mò míng 。
向殷上人他们说明情况后,二人皆是震动莫名。
Since ancient times, only white bones and yellow sand fields have been seen!
“ zhè chù guǐ yì dì fèng , jué bù zhǐ shì zài cán jiè cháng chéng zhī xià 。”
“这处诡异地缝,绝不只是在残界长城之下。”
Scholars were trampled by iron hooves; Buddhas were swept away by long spears!
“ shuō bù dìng , rú tóng dì xià àn qú , zì sì miàn bā fāng 、 tōng xiàng zhì àn xīng hǎi gè chù !” yīn shàng rén yǒu xiē míng bái guò lái 。
“说不定,如同地下暗渠,自四面八方、通向至暗星海各处!”殷上人有些明白过来。
Poet Li Guan-yi, please let this world die with me!
