lǐ fán jì yǐ jīng qǐ dòng le 【 nǐ zào 、 bǎi tài zhòng shēng 】 dà zhèn ， yòu zěn me kě néng yīn wèi jìng xuán de jǐ jù qiú ráo ， jiù zhè me qīng yì tíng xià lái ？
李凡既已经启动了【拟造、百态众生】大阵，又怎么可能因为镜玄的几句求饶，就这么轻易停下来？
Li Yan had just finished creating a simulated version of the Mirror Xuan Yuan, which took him 36 hours to complete. Currently, it could not fully activate all functions like a naturally born spirit, but it was capable of basic operations such as querying and defending.
zài zhī qián lún huí de jīng lì zhōng ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng dà zhì liǎo jiě le zhè jìng xuán de pǐn xìng 。 huò xǔ wèi le bǎo xiǎn qǐ jiàn ， lǐ fán huì liú tā yī tiáo xiǎo mìng 。 dàn zhè tiān xuán jìng de jìng líng ， lǐ fán shì kěn dìng bú huì zài ràng jìng xuán dāng le ！
在之前轮回的经历中，李凡已经大致了解了这镜玄的品性。或许为了保险起见，李凡会留他一条小命。但这天玄镜的镜灵，李凡是肯定不会再让镜玄当了！
The very first thing Li Yan did after gaining control over the Xuan Yuan Mirror was to review the complete "Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Grand Array." This grand array had the ability to re-establish fire, water, earth, and wind on a virtual plane and create a new world. Li Yan had long coveted this power.
xī rì chuán fǎ dé dào bǎo jìng hòu 、 yī jiù xuǎn zé bǎo liú qì líng cún zài ， zhǐ shì liú xià zhǎng jìng rén qián zhì 。 jué duì shì yīn wèi shí lì bù gòu ， wú fǎ zuò dào 。 dàn lǐ fán bù tóng 。
昔日传法得到宝镜后、依旧选择保留器灵存在，只是留下掌镜人钳制。绝对是因为实力不够，无法做到。但李凡不同。
"Ah? Too bad."
bù jǐn jǐn xiān zhèn jiā chí ， gèng shì zhī xiǎo 、 ná niē le jìng xuán de rén lèi fēn shēn 。
不仅仅仙阵加持，更是知晓、拿捏了镜玄的人类分身。
"The Xuan Yuan Mirror also only has nine complete array diagrams," Li Yan sighed inwardly. After thorough investigation, he found that apart from the three arrays he already knew—Xuan Ji, Wan Ling Gui Shu, and Wu Liang Hong Meng Jian Fang—there were two more large arrays in the mirror.
zhè rén lèi fēn shēn ， xiāng dāng yú jìng xuán zì jǐ wèi zì jǐ liàng shēn dǎ zào de ， méi yǒu xiān qì zhì gù de fù běn 。
这人类分身，相当于镜玄自己为自己量身打造的，没有仙器桎梏的副本。
They were named Dao Qi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Eternal Life), and Fei Hua Sheng Si Chen Fu (Transcending Life and Death).
jìng xuán zì jǐ céng píng jià guò zhè jù shēn qū ：「 jì dé qì zhī zhòng ， yòu dé rén zhī líng 。 wán měi wú xiá ， jǐ jìn zhēn xiān 」
镜玄自己曾评价过这具身躯：「既得器之重，又得人之灵。完美无瑕，几近真仙」
Li Yan was not a greedy person. After so many cycles of reincarnation, he had only collected three array diagrams. Now, to get two new ones, it would be enough for him to digest them.
zhè shì jìng xuán zài bèi wàn xiān méng fēng suǒ de shù qiān nián jiān ， kǔ sī míng xiǎng chū de yī tiáo táo tuō zhī fǎ 。 yì huò zhě shuō táo tuō zhī dào 。 cǐ dào xuán miào zhī chù ， bù jǐn jǐn zài yú yǎn qián zhè yī jù rén lèi shēn qū 。 ér zài yú bù duàn shēng chéng rén lèi shēn qū de 「 fǎ lǐ 」。 zhǐ yào tiān xuán jìng běn tǐ shàng zài ， nǎ pà jiāng rén lèi shēn qū shā sǐ ， yě néng hěn kuài zài dù chóng xīn shēng chéng 。
这是镜玄在被万仙盟封锁的数千年间，苦思冥想出的一条逃脱之法。亦或者说逃脱之道。此道玄妙之处，不仅仅在于眼前这一具人类身躯。而在于不断生成人类身躯的「法理」。只要天玄镜本体尚在，哪怕将人类身躯杀死，也能很快再度重新生成。
He carefully examined the two arrays.
cǐ qián lǐ fán gēn jìng xuán duì huà shí ， duì fāng shuō de xuán zhī yòu xuán 、 yún lǐ wù lǐ 。
此前李凡跟镜玄对话时，对方说的玄之又玄、云里雾里。
The Dao Qi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Eternal Life) explained how life energy could spontaneously emerge from within an array and then flow through the world.
xiàn zài qīn zì kān chá zhī xià ， cǐ fǎ què shì yǐ jīng yī lǎn wú yú 。
现在亲自勘察之下，此法却是已经一览无余。
"Life energy emerges out of nothing. It only appears because the Dao exists..."
「 dà tǐ shàng ， gēn zhāng qiān mò de hóng yuàn fǎ jī lǐ xiāng tóng 。 zhǐ bù guò zhāng qiān mò de hóng yuàn fǎ shēn ， shì yī tuō xuán huáng jiè dà dào cún zài 。」
「大体上，跟章阡陌的宏愿法机理相同。只不过章阡陌的宏愿法身，是依托玄黄界大道存在。」
"Brilliant."
「 ér jìng xuán fēn shēn de cún zài jī shí ， zhǐ shì tiān xuán jìng zì shēn ！」
「而镜玄分身的存在基石，只是天玄镜自身！」
Li Yan's eyes sparkled with a sudden realization.
「 tiān xuán jìng ， suī tóng yàng zài méi yǒu bàn diǎn xiān líng zhī qì bàng shēn ， zuò wéi xiān qì de wèi gé yóu cún 。 ér qiě qí zì shēn hái bǎo liú le dà liàng de lái zì xiān jiè de zhī shí ， shǐ de zhè zhǒng wèi gé gèng jiā de wěn gù 。 yī qì zhī zhòng ， bù zài yī jiè zhī xià ， shèn zhì yóu yǒu shèng zhī 。」
「天玄镜，虽同样再没有半点仙灵之气傍身，作为仙器的位格犹存。而且其自身还保留了大量的来自仙界的知识，使得这种位格更加的稳固。一器之重，不在一界之下，甚至犹有胜之。」
After some time, he reluctantly looked at the other diagram—Fei Hua Sheng Si Chen Fu (Transcending Life and Death).
lǐ fán liǎn shàng shén qíng ， suī méi yǒu sī háo biàn huà 。 xīn zhōng què shì rěn bú zhù zàn tàn yī shēng 。
李凡脸上神情，虽没有丝毫变化。心中却是忍不住赞叹一声。
"The world must have both life and death coexisting to be in harmony. This array seems to explain the principles of life and death..."
dàn xīn shǎng guī xīn shǎng ， shǒu shàng dòng zuò què shì bù néng tíng 。
但欣赏归欣赏，手上动作却是不能停。
Li Yan carefully studied it and found that its underlying principles were somewhat similar to those of the Reverse Life and Death Grand Array he had seen before, but this grand array was incomparably more profound.
zài jìng xuán jīng hài yù jué de mù guāng zhōng ， tāo chū le yī lǚ tiān xuán jìng běn yuán 。
在镜玄惊骇欲绝的目光中，掏出了一缕天玄镜本源。
"Not just about the flow of life and death within the world. It even involves the very essence of the world itself, perhaps even beyond the stars?" Li Yan's thoughts grew increasingly amazed as he pondered it further.
yī páng yǎn guān bí 、 bí guān xīn de dì sān mò yǔ chuán fǎ zhě zhōu ， kěn dìng shì bù zhī dào lǐ fán qǔ chū de zhè shì hé wù de 。
一旁眼观鼻、鼻观心的帝三貘与传法者周，肯定是不知道李凡取出的这是何物的。
When the array Fei Hua Sheng Si Chen Fu was activated, it could drain all life energy from an entire cultivation world and transform it into a single white feather. It could also reverse this process, generating infinite life energy from that feather to create a new world. The same principle applied to the stars as well.
dàn jìng xuán yòu qǐ néng bù zhī ？
但镜玄又岂能不知？
Even with his current understanding, Li Yan found it difficult to fully grasp these two arrays. He only had a partial understanding of them and was already feeling headache-inducing.
kàn zhe lǐ fán shǒu shàng nà yíng rào de 、 zì jǐ shú xī wú bǐ de qì xī ， jìng xuán liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， jiù gēn jiàn le guǐ yī yàng 。
看着李凡手上那萦绕的、自己熟悉无比的气息，镜玄脸上的表情，就跟见了鬼一样。
The reason was that at this level of the Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Grand Array, it wasn't just about the array itself but also incorporated profound principles of the Dao. Without understanding those principles, one could not master the array even if they knew its mechanics.
tā kāi shǐ jí sù sī suǒ ， zì jǐ jiū jìng shì shén me shí hòu fēn chū de zhè yī lǚ běn yuán 。 dàn rèn píng tā xiǎng pò le nǎo dài ， yě wú fǎ zhǎo dào dá àn 。
他开始急速思索，自己究竟是什么时候分出的这一缕本源。但任凭他想破了脑袋，也无法找到答案。
Fortunately, Li Yan had the Separation Disc of the Immortal Lineage with him.
jué wàng 、 huī àn de qíng xù ， zhú jiàn jiāng qí lǒng zhào 。
绝望、灰暗的情绪，逐渐将其笼罩。
"Although I don't fully understand how to use them, I can still experiment and learn."
zhè xī rì tiān xuán jìng de zhǔ dòng zèng yǔ ， què chéng wéi le tā zuò jiǎn zì fù de zuì hòu yī dào sī xiàn 。
这昔日天玄镜的主动赠与，却成为了他作茧自缚的最后一道丝线。
He divided a small portion of his computational power among the nine arrays he now possessed. He hoped that one day, like a sudden enlightenment, it might give him an unexpected breakthrough.
jìng xuán céng ào rán shuō guò ， xuán huáng jiè wú rén kě yǐ zhēn zhèng shāng hài dào tā 。 guò qù shì bù jiǎ 。 zhǐ bù guò xiàn zài ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng dēng lín bàn xiān zhī jìng ！
镜玄曾傲然说过，玄黄界无人可以真正伤害到他。过去是不假。只不过现在，李凡已经登临半仙之境！
Li Yan tried searching for clues about the remaining array diagrams within the Xuan Yuan Mirror.
yǐ xī rì de xuán tiān fēng líng zhèn fǎ wèi jī chǔ hé xīn ， jiě lí dié qǐng kè tuī yǎn chū xiān jí céng miàn de jìn jiē bǎn běn ， jiāng tiān xuán jìng běn tǐ láo láo kòng zhì zhù 。
以昔日的玄天封灵阵法为基础核心，解离碟顷刻推衍出仙级层面的进阶版本，将天玄镜本体牢牢控制住。
"It seems that this Xuan Yuan Mirror has lost some memory after several oscillations."
cóng jìng líng 、 rén lèi fēn shēn liǎng fāng miàn xià shǒu ， shuāng guǎn qí xià 。 tiān xuán jìng běn yuán zuò wéi tiān rán de jiē rù diǎn ， yòng nǐ zào dà zhèn ， chuàng zào chū quán xīn de 「 jìng xuán 」， zhú bù qǔ dài qí duì tiān xuán jìng de kòng zhì quán 。
从镜灵、人类分身两方面下手，双管齐下。天玄镜本源作为天然的接入点，用拟造大阵，创造出全新的「镜玄」，逐步取代其对天玄镜的控制权。
Li Yan frowned slightly as he carefully examined the mirror. He confirmed there were no hidden tricks from the mirror and found genuine damage in its body before feeling relieved.
cǐ děng tōu tiān huàn rì shǒu duàn ， duì yú fán fū sú zǐ ér yán ， jué duì shì nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng zhī shì 。 nǎ pà shì duì yú tiān yī 、 chuán fǎ zhè děng xīng hǎi tài shàng ， kǒng pà yě zhǐ shì chù zài shè xiǎng jiē duàn 。
此等偷天换日手段，对于凡夫俗子而言，绝对是难以想象之事。哪怕是对于天医、传法这等星海太上，恐怕也只是处在设想阶段。
"The first oscillation happened when it was still in the Immortal Realm, likely due to a struggle for possession that caused repeated refining," Li Yan deduced based on ancient traces within the mirror's body and its retained memories.
rán ér lǐ fán què néng qīng yì zuò dào 。 zhè qí zhōng yī bù fèn gōng láo ， gù rán yào guī jié yú xiān liè jiě lí dié 。 dàn gèng zhòng yào de ， hái shì lǐ fán yǐ bàn xiān zhī zī ， dǐ xiāo le tiān xuán jìng 「 xiān qì 」 wèi gé zì shàng ér xià de yā pò 。
然而李凡却能轻易做到。这其中一部分功劳，固然要归结于仙列解离碟。但更重要的，还是李凡以半仙之姿，抵消了天玄镜「仙器」位格自上而下的压迫。
"The second oscillation occurred after Xuan Yuan Hong brought it back. He actively transformed it from an immortal to a mortal with his help."
bǐ cǐ dōu shì bó zhòng zhī jiān ， bìng bù cún zài shén me bù kě yú yuè de hóng gōu 。 nǎ pà zài zěn me fáng yù yán mì ， yòu rú hé néng gòu dǐ yù dé le zhū duō shǒu duàn jǐn chū ？
彼此都是伯仲之间，并不存在什么不可逾越的鸿沟。哪怕再怎么防御严密，又如何能够抵御得了诸多手段尽出？
Li Yan looked at the memory of Xuan Yuan Hong in the mirror, thinking deeply.
jiù suàn lǐ fán méi yǒu jiě lí dié zhī zhù ， xiǎng lái yě zhǐ xū duō fèi diǎn shí jiān ， yě néng dá dào zì shēn mù dì 。
就算李凡没有解离碟之助，想来也只需多费点时间，也能达到自身目的。
"Third oscillation..."
duì jìng xuán de jiě xī 、 fù zhì ， réng zài jì xù 。 lǐ fán hái zài tiān xuán jìng běn tǐ nèi ， fā xiàn le xiē xǔ yǐn cáng de jìn zhì cán liú 。 dōu bèi tā qīng yì fú qù 。
对镜玄的解析、复制，仍在继续。李凡还在天玄镜本体内，发现了些许隐藏的禁制残留。都被他轻易拂去。
The next discovery made Li Yan's spirit tremble.
nǎ pà zhī qián jìng xuán méi yǒu xiǎo dòng zuò ， cǐ kè zài wàn xiān méng zhī nèi de yì biàn ， yě shì mán bù guò de 。
哪怕之前镜玄没有小动作，此刻在万仙盟之内的异变，也是瞒不过的。
It involved why the Xuan Yuan Mirror ended up in the hands of the Propagator. The scene revealed that during the fall of the Xuan Yuan Sect, a celestial messenger named Xuan Tian Sheng Shi had managed to escape from the Ten Immortal Sects' pursuit and taken the Xuan Yuan Mirror with him.
「 chuán fǎ 、 tiān yī ， yǐ jīng zài fǎn huí xuán huáng jiè le 。 zhèng hǎo bǎ tā men yī wǎng dǎ jìn ， xiān zhèn yā qǐ lái 。」 lǐ fán bù jīng yì jiān ， tái tóu piē shì le yī yǎn ， rú cǐ xiǎng dào 。 bìng méi yǒu tè bié fàng zài xīn shàng 。
「传法、天医，已经在返回玄黄界了。正好把他们一网打尽，先镇压起来。」李凡不经意间，抬头瞥视了一眼，如此想道。并没有特别放在心上。
Despite their efforts, the Ten Immortal Sects could not find it even when they offered eternal life in exchange for the mirror.
zài jiàn shí guò hēi tiān yī 、 xié sū bái zhè liǎng wèi lái zì kě néng xìng zhī wài de tóng wèi tǐ hòu 。 lǐ fán rèn wéi ， tā men hái shì lǎo lǎo shí shí dài zhe ， duì xīng hǎi nèi suǒ yǒu shēng líng ér yán ， cái shì zuì ān quán de 。
在见识过黑天医、邪苏白这两位来自可能性之外的同位体后。李凡认为，他们还是老老实实待着，对星海内所有生灵而言，才是最安全的。
Li Yan had never heard of this celestial messenger from his interactions with Mo Ru Bin or Ji Yu Zhen's soul fragment.
děng dài jiě xī wán chéng de shí jiān lǐ ， lǐ fán huí wèi zhe zì jǐ zuì jìn fēn lí yǎn fǎ jué 、 fù zhì jìng xuán de guò chéng 。
等待解析完成的时间里，李凡回味着自己最近分离衍法珏、复制镜玄的过程。
For a long time, Li Yan thought that the Xuan Tian Sheng Shi was just a figment of Zhao Ru Xi's dreams and did not exist in reality.
「 yǐ wǒ mù qián de shǒu duàn ， xiǎng yào wán quán 【 fù zhì 】 yí gè rén ， hái yǒu xiē kùn nán 。」
「以我目前的手段，想要完全【复制】一个人，还有些困难。」
But...
「 dàn shì xiǎng yào chuàng zào chū yǒu bā jiǔ fēn xiāng sì de ， yīng gāi méi wèn tí 。 zhè yīn shí lì bù gòu ér wú fǎ bì miǎn de xiá cī ， zài kě néng xìng bù duàn yān miè 、 jiē jìn de xiàn zài ， huò xǔ hái shì yí gè yōu shì 。」
「但是想要创造出有八九分相似的，应该没问题。这因实力不够而无法避免的瑕疵，在可能性不断湮灭、接近的现在，或许还是一个优势。」
As he quickly flicked through the scenes, Li Yan's expression became somewhat complex.
「 zhēn zhèng de tiān yī ， bù néng héng yuè gāo qiáng 。 nà me bèi wǒ suǒ chuàng zào de lèi tiān yī ne ……」
「真正的天医，不能横越高墙。那么被我所创造的类天医呢……」
Xuan Tian Sheng Shi indeed existed.
lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng ， gòu sī 、 wán zhěng zhe zì jǐ de tàn suǒ jì huà 。
李凡目光闪动，构思、完整着自己的探索计划。
However, he was not one of the twelve celestial kings of Xuan Tian Sect.
tiān xuán jìng kōng jiān zhōng ， bù fēn zhòu yè 。
天玄镜空间中，不分昼夜。
A familiar village scene appeared before him.
bù kuì shì zhēn zhèng wán zhěng 、 zhǐ shì shě qì le xiān líng zhī qì de xiān qì ， xiǎng yào jiāng qí qì líng fù zhì de nán dù ， hái yǒu xiē chāo hū le lǐ fán de yù liào zhī wài 。
不愧是真正完整、只是舍弃了仙灵之气的仙器，想要将其器灵复制的难度，还有些超乎了李凡的预料之外。
It was a small village near the fishing pond where Li Yan had previously been.
zhěng zhěng hào fèi le sān shí liù gè shí chén ， lǐ fán cái chū bù chuàng zào chū le nǐ zào jìng xuán 。
整整耗费了三十六个时辰，李凡才初步创造出了拟造镜玄。
An unremarkable middle-aged woman woke up from her sleep and found a mirror on her bedside table. Suddenly, she burst into tears while holding the Xuan Yuan Mirror, muttering "Ah Hong."
mù qián hái wú fǎ xiàng tiān shēng qì líng yī yàng ， wán quán qǐ yòng tiān xuán jìng de suǒ yǒu gōng néng 。 dàn zuì jī chǔ de cāo zòng 、 chá yuè ， shèn zhì yù dí ， dōu méi yǒu wèn tí le 。
目前还无法像天生器灵一样，完全启用天玄镜的所有功能。但最基础的操纵、查阅，甚至御敌，都没有问题了。
This was none other than Xuan Tian Wang's name—Xuan Yuan Hong!
lǐ fán dé dào tiān xuán jìng zhǎng kòng quán hòu de dì yī jiàn shì ， jiù shì chá yuè qǐ le wán zhěng de 【 xuán yuán shǐ líng dà zhèn 】。
李凡得到天玄镜掌控权后的第一件事，就是查阅起了完整的【玄元始灵大阵】。
"No wonder Xuan Yuan Hong always kept his distance with Ji Yu Zhen and the other female celestial kings. He never showed any formal interest in them," Li Yan thought.
zhè tào wán zhěng de xiān jí dà zhèn ， yǒu zhòng lì dì huǒ shuǐ fēng 、 yú xū kōng zhōng kāi tiān pì dì zhī néng ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng jì yú hěn jiǔ le 。
这套完整的仙级大阵，有重立地火水风、于虚空中开天辟地之能，李凡已经觊觎很久了。
"He had a childhood sweetheart!"
「 ń ？ kě xī le 。」
「嗯？可惜了。」
"Ordinary cultivators would naturally separate from immortals after many years of cultivation, but Xuan Tian Wang rose too quickly. And he has this fishing pond..."
「 tiān xuán jìng yě méi yǒu jiǔ tào wán zhěng zhèn tú 。」 lǐ fán xīn zhōng wēi wēi yī tàn 。
「天玄镜也没有九套完整阵图。」李凡心中微微一叹。
"To protect his childhood sweetheart, it's as easy as turning over a stone."
yī fān chá tàn zhī xià ， suī zhēn yǒu shōu huò ， dàn chú le lǐ fán yǐ jīng zhǎng wò de 【 xuán jī 、 wàn líng guī shù 】、【 huāng luò 、 xū shì shēng huā 】、【 wú liàng 、 hóng méng jiàn fāng 】 zhī wài ， tiān xuán jìng zhōng yě zhǐ cún yǒu lìng wài liǎng fú dà zhèn 。
一番查探之下，虽真有收获，但除了李凡已经掌握的【璇玑、万灵归数】、【荒落、虚室生花】、【无量、鸿蒙见方】之外，天玄镜中也只存有另外两幅大阵。
The scene rapidly changed. When Xuan Tian Wang handed the Xuan Yuan Mirror to the woman, he also taught her methods to suppress its power.
【 dào qǐ 、 shēng shēng bù xī 】 yǔ 【 yǔ huà 、 shēng sǐ chén fú 】！
【道起、生生不息】与【羽化、生死沉浮】！
He did this to prevent the mirror from reversing and harming him and to keep its aura hidden so she wouldn't attract danger.
lǐ fán yě bú shì tān dé wú yàn zhī bèi 。 lún huí zhè me jiǔ ， dōu zhǐ sōu jí le sān fú zhèn tú 。 xiàn zài yī xià zi shōu huò xīn de liǎng zhǒng ， yě zú gòu tā xiāo huà yī duàn shí jiān le 。
李凡也不是贪得无厌之辈。轮回这么久，都只搜集了三幅阵图。现在一下子收获新的两种，也足够他消化一段时间了。
The mirror could only vaguely perceive external scenes but clearly sensed that the woman's strength had surged dramatically in a short time. In just three years, she transformed from an ordinary person into a cultivator of the Dao.
zǐ xì duān xiáng zhe zhè liǎng fú zhèn tú 。
仔细端详着这两幅阵图。
In some unknown location, the woman used a secret technique on the Xuan Yuan Mirror.
【 dào qǐ 、 shēng shēng bù xī 】， nǎi shì chǎn shù zì zhèn fǎ zhōng ， mó nǐ yùn yù 、 yǎn huà chū shēng jī ， ér hòu wàn qiān shēng jī yú shì jiè zhōng liú zhuǎn de jī lǐ 。
【道起、生生不息】，乃是阐述自阵法中，模拟孕育、演化出生机，而后万千生机于世界中流转的机理。
"Ah Hong said you came from the Immortal Realm."
「 shēng jī ， píng kōng ér shēng 。 zhǐ yīn dào cún ér xiǎn ……」
「生机，凭空而生。只因道存而显……」
"But the Immortal Realm has already fallen. Although with Ah Hong's help, you became mortal, there is still a connection that can't be completely severed. If Ah Hong were still here, it would be fine."
「 miào a 。」
「妙啊。」
"But now Ah Hong is in danger..."
lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn shuò ， xīn yǒu huǎng rán dà wù zhī gǎn 。
李凡目光闪烁，心有恍然大悟之感。
"I will go to find him."
xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， fāng cái bù shě de kàn xiàng lìng wài yī fú zhèn tú 。
许久之后，方才不舍的看向另外一幅阵图。
"This journey is fraught with danger and may lead to death. I don't want to risk your life for mine."
【 yǔ huà 、 shēng sǐ chén fú 】。
【羽化、生死沉浮】。
"Stay in the Xuan Yuan Realm."
「 shì jiè zhōng ， ruò shì zhǐ yǒu shēng jī yǎn huà ， jué duì shì bú zhèng cháng de 。 shēng sǐ jiū chán ， tóng zài 。 fāng cái hé hū dà dào 。 zhè 【 shēng sǐ chén fú 】 dà zhèn ， sì hū jiù shì chǎn shù de shēng yǔ sǐ zhī lǐ ……」
「世界中，若是只有生机衍化，绝对是不正常的。生死纠缠，同在。方才合乎大道。这【生死沉浮】大阵，似乎就是阐述的生与死之理……」
"Remember, even though you have become mortal, don't try to return to the immortal path."
lǐ fán zǐ xì guān mó ， fā xiàn qí zhōng yùn hán de jī lǐ ， gēn céng jīng suǒ jiàn de 【 nì zhuǎn sǐ shēng dà zhèn 】 yǒu xiē xǔ de xiāng sì zhī chù 。 dàn hěn xiǎn rán ， zhè hóng dà xiān zhèn de jīng miào chéng dù ， yuǎn bú shì fán sú fǎ zhèn néng bǐ de 。
李凡仔细观摩，发现其中蕴含的机理，跟曾经所见的【逆转死生大阵】有些许的相似之处。但很显然，这宏大仙阵的精妙程度，远不是凡俗法阵能比的。
"Not returning to an immortal body doesn't mean there's no future for you. Your path lies in measuring heaven and earth."
「 bù jǐn jǐn shì shì jiè nèi de shēng sǐ liú zhuǎn 。 ér qiě gèng shè jí dào ， shì jiè běn shēn ， shèn zhì shì jiè zhī wài de xīng hǎi ？」
「不仅仅是世界内的生死流转。而且更涉及到，世界本身，甚至世界之外的星海？」
"This Xuan Yuan Realm hides many secrets. Even Ah Hong couldn't fully understand it all. If you can decipher everything..."
lǐ fán yuè zhuó mó ， xīn zhōng yuè shì jīng tàn 。
李凡越琢磨，心中越是惊叹。
"Great Dao is within reach!"
zhè 【 yǔ huà 、 shēng sǐ chén fú 】 fā dòng ， kě qīng yì jiān chōu gàn yī zhěng gè xiū xiān jiè de shēng jī 、 ér hòu jiāng qí huà zuò yī gēn bái yǔ 。 yòu kě chóng xīn jiāng wú qióng shēng jī zì zhè gēn bái yǔ zhōng dǎo chū ， yī yǔ shēng shì jiè 。
这【羽化、生死沉浮】发动，可轻易间抽干一整个修仙界的生机、而后将其化作一根白羽。又可重新将无穷生机自这根白羽中导出，一羽生世界。
"I have shown you the way, and I owe you a favor."
nǎi zhì xīng hǎi ， yě shì tóng yàng de dào lǐ 。
乃至星海，也是同样的道理。
"This journey is dangerous, so I need your help!"
guāng kào zì jǐ ， lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu néng gòu wán quán lǐng wù zhè liǎng tào zhèn fǎ 。 zhǐ shì yī zhī bàn jiě ， biàn yǐ jīng yǒu xiē tóu téng le 。
光靠自己，李凡并没有能够完全领悟这两套阵法。只是一知半解，便已经有些头疼了。
The figure gently pressed on the mirror.

究其原因，是因为到了玄元始灵大阵这个层面，都不仅仅是阵法本身了。融入了大道至理，只通晓阵法、不明大道，是根本无法将其掌握的。
Using some unknown method, another identical shadow suddenly appeared from the Xuan Yuan Mirror.

好在李凡身怀，仙列解离碟。
"Henceforth, you are named Tian Xuan."

来用。」
The voice was distant and disappeared. The restrictions on her were lifted at the same time.
「 yī biān shí jiàn ， yī biān lǐng wù 。」
「一边实践，一边领悟。」
With newfound freedom, the Xuan Tian realm followed the woman's teachings, measuring heaven and earth to explore the secrets of the Xuan Yuan Realm.

九套阵图，李凡如今已得其五。
One day, she met Propagator Supreme Daoist.

超过一半之数，或许光凭解离碟自身，只要耗费一定的时间，都能推衍出剩余的部分。但这计算实在太过庞大。

Li Yan had just finished creating a simulated version of the Mirror Xuan Yuan, which took him 36 hours to complete. Currently, it could not fully activate all functions like a naturally born spirit, but it was capable of basic operations such as querying and defending.
The very first thing Li Yan did after gaining control over the Xuan Yuan Mirror was to review the complete "Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Grand Array." This grand array had the ability to re-establish fire, water, earth, and wind on a virtual plane and create a new world. Li Yan had long coveted this power.
"Ah? Too bad."
"The Xuan Yuan Mirror also only has nine complete array diagrams," Li Yan sighed inwardly. After thorough investigation, he found that apart from the three arrays he already knew—Xuan Ji, Wan Ling Gui Shu, and Wu Liang Hong Meng Jian Fang—there were two more large arrays in the mirror.
They were named Dao Qi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Eternal Life), and Fei Hua Sheng Si Chen Fu (Transcending Life and Death).
Li Yan was not a greedy person. After so many cycles of reincarnation, he had only collected three array diagrams. Now, to get two new ones, it would be enough for him to digest them.
He carefully examined the two arrays.
The Dao Qi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Eternal Life) explained how life energy could spontaneously emerge from within an array and then flow through the world.
"Life energy emerges out of nothing. It only appears because the Dao exists..."
"Brilliant."
Li Yan's eyes sparkled with a sudden realization.
After some time, he reluctantly looked at the other diagram—Fei Hua Sheng Si Chen Fu (Transcending Life and Death).
"The world must have both life and death coexisting to be in harmony. This array seems to explain the principles of life and death..."
Li Yan carefully studied it and found that its underlying principles were somewhat similar to those of the Reverse Life and Death Grand Array he had seen before, but this grand array was incomparably more profound.
"Not just about the flow of life and death within the world. It even involves the very essence of the world itself, perhaps even beyond the stars?" Li Yan's thoughts grew increasingly amazed as he pondered it further.
When the array Fei Hua Sheng Si Chen Fu was activated, it could drain all life energy from an entire cultivation world and transform it into a single white feather. It could also reverse this process, generating infinite life energy from that feather to create a new world. The same principle applied to the stars as well.
Even with his current understanding, Li Yan found it difficult to fully grasp these two arrays. He only had a partial understanding of them and was already feeling headache-inducing.
The reason was that at this level of the Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Grand Array, it wasn't just about the array itself but also incorporated profound principles of the Dao. Without understanding those principles, one could not master the array even if they knew its mechanics.
Fortunately, Li Yan had the Separation Disc of the Immortal Lineage with him.
"Although I don't fully understand how to use them, I can still experiment and learn."
He divided a small portion of his computational power among the nine arrays he now possessed. He hoped that one day, like a sudden enlightenment, it might give him an unexpected breakthrough.
Li Yan tried searching for clues about the remaining array diagrams within the Xuan Yuan Mirror.
"It seems that this Xuan Yuan Mirror has lost some memory after several oscillations."
Li Yan frowned slightly as he carefully examined the mirror. He confirmed there were no hidden tricks from the mirror and found genuine damage in its body before feeling relieved.
"The first oscillation happened when it was still in the Immortal Realm, likely due to a struggle for possession that caused repeated refining," Li Yan deduced based on ancient traces within the mirror's body and its retained memories.
"The second oscillation occurred after Xuan Yuan Hong brought it back. He actively transformed it from an immortal to a mortal with his help."
Li Yan looked at the memory of Xuan Yuan Hong in the mirror, thinking deeply.
"Third oscillation..."
The next discovery made Li Yan's spirit tremble.
It involved why the Xuan Yuan Mirror ended up in the hands of the Propagator. The scene revealed that during the fall of the Xuan Yuan Sect, a celestial messenger named Xuan Tian Sheng Shi had managed to escape from the Ten Immortal Sects' pursuit and taken the Xuan Yuan Mirror with him.
Despite their efforts, the Ten Immortal Sects could not find it even when they offered eternal life in exchange for the mirror.
Li Yan had never heard of this celestial messenger from his interactions with Mo Ru Bin or Ji Yu Zhen's soul fragment.
For a long time, Li Yan thought that the Xuan Tian Sheng Shi was just a figment of Zhao Ru Xi's dreams and did not exist in reality.
But...
As he quickly flicked through the scenes, Li Yan's expression became somewhat complex.
Xuan Tian Sheng Shi indeed existed.
However, he was not one of the twelve celestial kings of Xuan Tian Sect.
A familiar village scene appeared before him.
It was a small village near the fishing pond where Li Yan had previously been.
An unremarkable middle-aged woman woke up from her sleep and found a mirror on her bedside table. Suddenly, she burst into tears while holding the Xuan Yuan Mirror, muttering "Ah Hong."
This was none other than Xuan Tian Wang's name—Xuan Yuan Hong!
"No wonder Xuan Yuan Hong always kept his distance with Ji Yu Zhen and the other female celestial kings. He never showed any formal interest in them," Li Yan thought.
"He had a childhood sweetheart!"
"Ordinary cultivators would naturally separate from immortals after many years of cultivation, but Xuan Tian Wang rose too quickly. And he has this fishing pond..."
"To protect his childhood sweetheart, it's as easy as turning over a stone."
The scene rapidly changed. When Xuan Tian Wang handed the Xuan Yuan Mirror to the woman, he also taught her methods to suppress its power.
He did this to prevent the mirror from reversing and harming him and to keep its aura hidden so she wouldn't attract danger.
The mirror could only vaguely perceive external scenes but clearly sensed that the woman's strength had surged dramatically in a short time. In just three years, she transformed from an ordinary person into a cultivator of the Dao.
In some unknown location, the woman used a secret technique on the Xuan Yuan Mirror.
"Ah Hong said you came from the Immortal Realm."
"But the Immortal Realm has already fallen. Although with Ah Hong's help, you became mortal, there is still a connection that can't be completely severed. If Ah Hong were still here, it would be fine."
"But now Ah Hong is in danger..."
"I will go to find him."
"This journey is fraught with danger and may lead to death. I don't want to risk your life for mine."
"Stay in the Xuan Yuan Realm."
"Remember, even though you have become mortal, don't try to return to the immortal path."
"Not returning to an immortal body doesn't mean there's no future for you. Your path lies in measuring heaven and earth."
"This Xuan Yuan Realm hides many secrets. Even Ah Hong couldn't fully understand it all. If you can decipher everything..."
"Great Dao is within reach!"
"I have shown you the way, and I owe you a favor."
"This journey is dangerous, so I need your help!"
The figure gently pressed on the mirror.
Using some unknown method, another identical shadow suddenly appeared from the Xuan Yuan Mirror.
"Henceforth, you are named Tian Xuan."
"Xuan Tian... I have taken it with me."
The voice was distant and disappeared. The restrictions on her were lifted at the same time.
With newfound freedom, the Xuan Tian realm followed the woman's teachings, measuring heaven and earth to explore the secrets of the Xuan Yuan Realm.
