jiù xiàng xuán huáng jiè zhōng rén ， wéi yǒu jí shǎo shù cái zhī xiǎo xiān xū 、 gāo qiáng de cún zài yī yàng 。
就像玄黄界中人，唯有极少数才知晓仙墟、高墙的存在一样。
Just like the dark star sea, beyond the high wall lies a realm where the path of dao is obscured. The surviving regions after the Dao Annihilation灾难，where the dao itself exists in an extremely inactive state.
cóng qín zhuàng nǎo hǎi zhōng suǒ huò qǔ de jì yì ， yě wèi bì jiù shì gāo qiáng wài de zhēn xiàng 。 zhǐ shì gāo qiáng wài wén míng de zhì qiáng zhě men ， wèi le wéi xì wén míng de cún xù ér biān zhī chū lái yī xì liè huǎng yán 。
从秦壮脑海中所获取的记忆，也未必就是高墙外的真相。只是高墙外文明的至强者们，为了维系文明的存续而编织出来一系列谎言。
Falling outside the high wall, Eileen could not comprehend what exactly this inactive state entailed. But she could imagine it as a comparison to resource abundance.
zài lǐ fán kàn lái ， gāo qiáng wài wén míng xiàng gōng zhòng xuān chēng de zhǒng zhǒng ， zuì qǐ mǎ yǒu liǎng chù jí wéi míng xiǎn de pò zhàn 。
在李凡看来，高墙外文明向公众宣称的种种，最起码有两处极为明显的破绽。
Perhaps such a situation can be seen as the richness of the environment and resources. In areas where the dao is scarce, understanding the dao becomes incredibly difficult. However, if one manages to achieve cultivation success under such harsh conditions, leaving for so-called high-activity regions...
dào yān zhī jié gēn zhēn xiān 。
道湮之劫跟真仙。
One would instantly feel the impact of this change on their body.
méi yǒu shén me bǐ 【 hái zhēn 】 gèng jiā zhí de lǐ fán xìn rèn le 。 qī bǎi sān shí liù wàn nián de mò rì dào jì shí ， zú yǐ shuō míng le dào yān zhī jié réng zài yán xù 。 bìng qiě jué bú shì dān yī kě néng xìng de gāo qiáng wài wén míng néng gòu dǐ dǎng de 。 ér tā men què yǒu yì wú yì de ， jiāng dào yān zhī jié de kě bù chéng dù dà dà dàn huà le ……
没有什么比【还真】更加值得李凡信任了。七百三十六万年的末日倒计时，足以说明了道湮之劫仍在延续。并且绝不是单一可能性的高墙外文明能够抵挡的。而他们却有意无意的，将道湮之劫的可怖程度大大淡化了……
Ordinary geniuses must be rare indeed!
zhì yú zhēn xiān 。 zài qín zhuàng jì yì zhōng ， qiáng wài wén míng tǒng yī de shuō cí 、 rèn zhī ， dōu jiāng “ xiān ” xíng róng chéng le duì wén míng cún xù yǒu zhe jí dù wēi xié 、 dàn píng jiè gè fāng wéi bǔ ， yě néng jiāng qí liè shā de ， wǎn ruò “ měng shòu 、 xiōng shòu ” yì bān de cún zài 。
至于真仙。在秦壮记忆中，墙外文明统一的说辞、认知，都将“仙”形容成了对文明存续有着极度威胁、但凭借各方围捕，也能将其猎杀的，宛若“猛兽、凶兽”一般的存在。
The idea flashed through her mind, and Eileen felt a certain excitement stir within her. But quickly, she suppressed it.
“ wǒ dí què jiàn guò māo bǎo bǔ xiān de chǎng jǐng 。 jī xiān wù dào wàn zài ， cóng tā liú zài nán xiān tiān zhù shàng de jī zì jué huán yuán chéng dù lái kàn ， tā jù lí wú míng zhī jìng kǒng pà yě bù suàn tài yuǎn le 。 rán ér què zài māo bǎo de bǔ liè xià ， jī hū méi yǒu huán shǒu zhī lì ， bèi qiáng xíng zhuāi zǒu 。”
“我的确见过猫宝捕仙的场景。饥仙悟道万载，从她留在南仙天柱上的饥字诀还原程度来看，她距离无名之境恐怕也不算太远了。然而却在猫宝的捕猎下，几乎没有还手之力，被强行拽走。”
The biggest issue is that the cultivation methods outside the high wall are different from those inside. Numerous factions coexist, though there's no large-scale warfare, minor disputes are constant. For outsiders, everyone is highly suspicious. Unidentified individuals would likely be apprehended and interrogated immediately...
“ dàn zài guò wǎng wǒ lún huí de jīng lì zhōng ， wú miàn xiān 、 chuí diào xiān děng yī rán cún zài ， jiù yǐ jīng néng shuō míng mǒu xiē wèn tí le 。 suī rán tā men sì hū jí qí jǐn shèn ， cóng méi yǒu zhēn shēn jiàng lín guò ， dàn tā men de lì liàng yī rán néng gòu kuà yuè gāo qiáng 、 yǐng xiǎng dào xuán huáng jiè nèi ……”
“但在过往我轮回的经历中，无面仙、垂钓仙等依然存在，就已经能说明某些问题了。虽然他们似乎极其谨慎，从没有真身降临过，但他们的力量依然能够跨越高墙、影响到玄黄界内……”
Perhaps Qin Zhuang or Jiao Xiuyuan could serve as a suitable cover identity.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǐ jīng liǎo rán ：“ miàn duì zhè xiē cóng xī rì xiān jiè pò miè dà jié xìng cún xià lái de qiáng zhě ， qiáng wài shì lì wèi bì shì zhēn de zhàn jǐn shàng fēng 。 dàn dí què yǒu le néng gòu ‘ bǔ liè ’ de zī běn 。”
李凡心中已经了然：“面对这些从昔日仙界破灭大劫幸存下来的强者，墙外势力未必是真的占尽上风。但的确有了能够‘捕猎’的资本。”
Eileen had learned that Qin Zhuang was granted 99 true dao characters by the Dao Hunt, but there were also rumors of experts who could proficiently use up to 999 or even an unlimited number. This was the capital for the outside civilization to hunt true immortals.
“ cóng fán sú ， wán chéng rú cǐ kuà yuè 。 shǔ shí liǎo bù qǐ ！”
“从凡俗，完成如此跨越。属实了不起！”
In Eileen's mind, two images were juxtaposed: on one side, true immortal characters; on the other, 99 dao symbols. She tried to match the known true immortal characters with these 99 symbols but found that they had undergone special encryption and lacked original dao characteristics. Without systematic learning, even with her extraordinary talent, she couldn't decipher them.
zhèng yīn wèi yǐ jīng bàn bù dēng lín xiān jìng ， lǐ fán cái qiè shēn shí dì de wú bǐ qīng chǔ xiān fán zhī jiān de jù dà hóng gōu 。 suǒ yǐ yù fā duì qiáng wài wén míng nà néng gòu tián bǔ zhè jù dà chā jù de shǒu duàn gǎn dào hào qí le 。
正因为已经半步登临仙境，李凡才切身实地的无比清楚仙凡之间的巨大鸿沟。所以愈发对墙外文明那能够填补这巨大差距的手段感到好奇了。
Shaking her head slightly, Eileen temporarily hid this image from her mind.
“ zài qiáng wài ， liè shā zhēn xiān yǒu zhuān mén de xiū shì zǔ zhī fù zé ， wú lùn hé zhǒng shì lì 、 dōu jiāng tā men chēng zhī wèi 【 xiān shòu 】。 xiān shòu chéng yuán ， xū jīng guò zhuān mén de xùn liàn 。 bèi chuán shòu de gè zhǒng shén tōng shǒu duàn ， yuǎn yuǎn chāo chū pǔ tōng rén xiǎng xiàng 。 qín zhuàng jiù shì xiān shòu de yī yuán ， bù guò zài lái xuán huáng jiè zhī qián ， tā hái zhǐ shì xīn rù mén de tì bǔ 。 bìng bù céng zhèng shì cān jiā guò shòu liè zhēn xiān de xíng dòng 。”
“在墙外，猎杀真仙有专门的修士组织负责，无论何种势力、都将他们称之为【仙狩】。仙狩成员，需经过专门的训练。被传授的各种神通手段，远远超出普通人想象。秦壮就是仙狩的一员，不过在来玄黄界之前，他还只是新入门的替补。并不曾正式参加过狩猎真仙的行动。”
Though the realms of true immortals and Dao Hunt differ in form and manifestation, their core still lies in understanding the dao.
lǐ fán gēn jù qín zhuàng de jì yì ， shì tú fù xiàn duì fāng nǎo hǎi zhōng de jǐ gè shén tōng 。
李凡根据秦壮的记忆，试图复现对方脑海中的几个神通。
However, outside the high wall, through these so-called dao symbols, the dao was translated. This allowed ordinary people to grasp and utilize its power while preventing anyone from merging with it and stealing the dao.
“ gēn zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de wēi néng xíng shì ， yǒu xiē xiāng sì 。 dōu shì yǐn dòng chén shì jiān dà dào zhì lǐ ， dàn bù tóng de shì ……”
“跟真仙篆字的威能形式，有些相似。都是引动尘世间大道至理，但不同的是……”
The more she pondered, the more amazed Eileen became: "The creator of these dao symbols must have a profound understanding of the dao, comparable to that of the True Dao Immortal!"
lǐ fán shuāng mù wēi mī ， nǎo hǎi zhōng guān xiǎng zhe jiǔ shí jiǔ méi qí tè de fú hào 。
李凡双目微眯，脑海中观想着九十九枚奇特的符号。
With knowledge of true immortals outside the high wall and even the possibility of advancing without entering the realm of true immortals, Eileen began re-exploring her plans.
zhè xiē fú hào ， bèi qiáng wài wén míng chēng zhī wèi 【 dào yuán 】。 jiǔ shí jiǔ méi dào yuán jīng guò bù tóng de pái liè zǔ hé ， biàn néng yǐn dòng dà dào de gòng míng ， yǐ diào yòng xiāng duì yīng de dà dào zhī lì 。
这些符号，被墙外文明称之为【道元】。九十九枚道元经过不同的排列组合，便能引动大道的共鸣，以调用相对应的大道之力。
However, she needed to be fully prepared. Not only did she need to guard against various factions outside the high wall but also consider other possibilities.
“ míng dào xiān qīn zì gǎn wù ， lín mó de zhēn xiān zhuàn zì ， xiāng jiào zhī xià 、 zuì wèi jiē jìn dào zhī gēn běn ， zuì wèi yuán shǐ 。”
“铭道仙亲自感悟，临摹的真仙篆字，相较之下、最为接近道之根本，最为原始。”
This kind of speculation was not within the common understanding. Qin Zhuang's memories contained no such records. Eileen suspected that few in the outside civilization knew about this matter.
“ ér zhè xiē dào yuán ， yòu jīng guò jìn yí bù xì tǒng xìng de jiǎn huà ， biàn dé gèng jiā róng yì xué xí 、 zhǎng kòng 。 bìng qiě yǐ mǒu zhǒng wǒ hái wèi zhī xiǎo de shǒu duàn ， shí xiàn le bù tóng dà dào zhī lì 、 xiāng hù róng hé guàn tōng de qí jì ……”
“而这些道元，又经过进一步系统性的简化，变得更加容易学习、掌控。并且以某种我还未知晓的手段，实现了不同大道之力、相互融合贯通的奇迹……”
But step by step, she needed to proceed with caution. Compared to Black Heaven Doctor and Evil Su Bai, her current strength was still too weak.
shí hǎi zhōng ， jiǔ shí jiǔ méi zì fú zài míng miè bù dìng de kuài sù shǎn dòng zhōng ， qí zhōng sān shí liù méi xī miè 、 lìng wài liù shí sān méi fēi chū ， zǔ chéng le yí gè quán xīn de fú hào 。
识海中，九十九枚字符在明灭不定的快速闪动中，其中三十六枚熄灭、另外六十三枚飞出，组成了一个全新的符号。
For now, there were no usable immortal spirit energy sources available, and her path ahead seemed cut off. If she truly attained true immortality outside the high wall, it might be challenging but not necessarily a good thing.
“ qín zhuàng zì xiān shòu zǔ zhī zhōng ， xué dé de dì yí gè shén tōng ，【 qǐng jiàn 】。”
“秦壮自仙狩组织中，学得的第一个神通，【请剑】。”
She decided to use the dao symbols to enhance her own power first. She also planned to personally visit the outside of the high wall under safe conditions to see what these so-called high-activity regions were like.
“ cóng lǐ lùn shàng néng gòu zhào huàn chū ， guò wǎng cún zài yú jiàn dào zhī zhōng 、 céng jīng chū xiàn guò de suǒ yǒu zhāo shì 。 shèn zhì yùn qì hǎo de huà ， néng shī zhǎn chū quán xīn de jiàn dào shén tōng 。 zhào huàn chū lái de bù tóng ， sì hū gēn dào yuán hé bìng shí hòu de shǎn dòng de pín lǜ ， yě jiù shì gēn bù tóng dà dào zhī jiān de gòng míng fāng shì yǒu guān ……” lǐ fán dì yī cì de cháng shì ， yǒu xiē chī lì 。
“从理论上能够召唤出，过往存在于剑道之中、曾经出现过的所有招式。甚至运气好的话，能施展出全新的剑道神通。召唤出来的不同，似乎跟道元合并时候的闪动的频率，也就是跟不同大道之间的共鸣方式有关……”李凡第一次的尝试，有些吃力。
Learning the dao symbol translation method did not mean starting from scratch for Eileen. Instead, she had a significant advantage over most outsiders: knowledge of numerous true immortal characters and even the leg bone of an unnamed true immortal, which could reveal near-dao-state characters.
shèn zhì lǐ jiě qǐ lái ， yě shì pǒ yǒu xiē kùn nán 。
甚至理解起来，也是颇有些困难。
The dao symbols were merely translated representations. No matter how they combined or resonated, their ultimate goal was to interact with and utilize the dao's power.
zuì zhǔ yào de shì ， zài dào yuán zhī fǎ shàng ， qín zhuàng běn jiù shì gè chū chū máo lú de xīn shǒu 。 suǒ zhī suǒ xué ， běn jiù shì yī zhī bàn jiě 。 lǐ fán xiǎng yào cóng zhè bìng bù láo gù de gēn jī shàng ， qīng yì fù xiàn qiáng wài wén míng nǔ lì wú shù nián de chéng guǒ ， yòu qǐ shì yì shì ？
最主要的是，在道元之法上，秦壮本就是个初出茅庐的新手。所知所学，本就是一知半解。李凡想要从这并不牢固的根基上，轻易复现墙外文明努力无数年的成果，又岂是易事？
Without understanding the dao itself, relying solely on studying the dao symbols would be like walking blindfolded, only feeling around in the dark.
qiè ér bù shě 、 shù bǎi cì de cháng shì ， jū rán méi yǒu yī cì chéng gōng 。
锲而不舍、数百次的尝试，居然没有一次成功。
With a deep understanding of the target dao, having a distant endpoint as a reference point, learning should be much more efficient.
lǐ fán bù jīn zhòu méi ， tíng le xià lái 。
李凡不禁皱眉，停了下来。
If she had enough knowledge of these dao symbols, she could potentially decipher them. Of course, the creator of these symbols likely anticipated this and included some unknown restrictions.
“ wǒ de fāng fǎ ， méi cuò 。”
“我的方法，没错。”
...
“ shì suǒ zài de huán jìng ， bú duì ！”
“是所在的环境，不对！”
Before officially exploring outside the high wall, Eileen had several important matters to attend to: the Five Elders Association,无忧乐土, the Dao Stone Mother, the Transmitter Jiang, and the hidden secrets of the Xuan Huang realm, including the Qingming pearl still in the star sea's fissure.
xì xì pǐn wèi zhe jiǔ shí jiǔ méi dào yuán fú hào bǐ cǐ jiān de gòng míng pín lǜ hòu ， lǐ fán zhōng yú míng bái guò lái 。
细细品味着九十九枚道元符号彼此间的共鸣频率后，李凡终于明白过来。
...
“ yān miè dì ……”
“湮灭地……”
Based on difficulty, Eileen first visited Transmitter Jiang. The unique "all things are as me" characteristic had nearly caused her a fall earlier.
lǐ fán tiào wàng gāo qiáng zhī wài ：“ àn zhào gāo qiáng wài de shuō fǎ ， zhì àn xīng hǎi nèi ， dà dào diāo bì 。 dào yān zhī jié hòu de xìng cún qū yù ， dà dào běn shēn jiù chù zài jí bù huó yuè de zhuàng tài 。”
李凡眺望高墙之外：“按照高墙外的说法，至暗星海内，大道凋敝。道湮之劫后的幸存区域，大道本身就处在极不活跃的状态。”
Now, she was very curious if this strange power could still affect her after attaining true immortality.
lǐ fán cóng méi yǒu zǒu chū guò gāo qiáng ， suǒ yǐ yě wú fǎ gǎo qīng chǔ suǒ wèi de bù huó yuè zhuàng tài ， jiū jìng shì zěn me yī huí shì 。
李凡从没有走出过高墙，所以也无法搞清楚所谓的不活跃状态，究竟是怎么一回事。
Transmitter Jiang was sealed in the Vast Void realm for long periods of time and rarely left his main form.
dàn tā néng lèi bǐ 、 xiǎng xiàng 。
但他能类比、想象。
Eileen appeared in this small world with interest. Transmitter Jiang, who was meditating with his eyes closed, did not notice her presence.
“ huò xǔ kě néng bǎ zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， kàn chéng huán jìng 、 zī yuán de fēng fù chéng dù 。”
“或许可能把这种情况，看成环境、资源的丰富程度。”
The Vast Void realm can continuously "return to its original state," meaning it resets to its initial condition regardless of what happens...
“ dà dào diāo bì zhī dì ， xiǎng yào gǎn wù dà dào ， qiān nán wàn nán 。 dàn ruò shì zài zhè zhǒng jiān kǔ de tiáo jiàn xià ， hái néng xiū xíng yǒu chéng zhě 。 yī zhāo lí kāi ， qián wǎng suǒ wèi de gāo huó xìng dì qū ……”
“大道凋敝之地，想要感悟大道，千难万难。但若是在这种艰苦的条件下，还能修行有成者。一朝离开，前往所谓的高活性地区……”
This somewhat resembled the "True" she had experienced, but their rank was vastly different. She could only maintain this small world and even couldn't reset time; just the material state.
“ shēn chù huán jìng zhōng ， zì shì bù jué 。 děng dài wài jiè huán jìng jù biàn ， biàn néng qǐng kè de gǎn shòu dào zhè biàn huà duì zì shēn de yǐng xiǎng 。”
“身处环境中，自是不觉。等待外界环境剧变，便能顷刻的感受到这变化对自身的影响。”
Despite this, Eileen was curious about how "returning to the original state" worked.
“ kǒng pà xún cháng tiān zī xiū shì ， dōu shì tiān cái zhōng de tiān cái le ！”
“恐怕寻常天资修士，都是天才中的天才了！”
Golden lines radiated like his eyes and touch, covering the surroundings, explaining the small world to her.
nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò zhè ge niàn tou de tóng shí ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng jìng rán yǒu xiē chǔn chǔn yù dòng le 。
脑海中闪过这个念头的同时，李凡心中竟然有些蠢蠢欲动了。
Ah... it's not a unrestricted return. The essence of the initial state is deeply engraved, like marks made with a file on stone.
dàn hěn kuài ， yòu bèi lǐ fán zhèn yā 。
但很快，又被李凡镇压。
All changes in this small world can be eliminated by simply erasing one layer, returning everything to its original point.
“ zuì dà de wèn tí shì ， qiáng wài xiū xíng zhī fǎ ， gēn qiáng nèi bìng bù tóng 。 ér qiě zhū duō shì lì lín lì ， suī méi yǒu dà zhàn 、 què xì xiǎo fēn zhēng bù duàn 。 duì yú wài lái zhě ， dōu bào yǒu hěn dà de jiè xīn 。 bù míng shēn fèn zhě ， bié tí hùn rù le ， pà bú shì yí dàn bào lù ， jiù bèi zhuā qǐ lái kǎo wèn le ……”
“最大的问题是，墙外修行之法，跟墙内并不同。而且诸多势力林立，虽没有大战、却细小纷争不断。对于外来者，都抱有很大的戒心。不明身份者，别提混入了，怕不是一旦暴露，就被抓起来拷问了……”
After some time, Eileen understood but felt disappointed. But it was already remarkable that Transmitter Jiang could come up with such a method. Although shallow and crude, it provided inspiration.
“ huò xǔ qín zhuàng 、 jiāo xiū yuǎn ， shì gè hé shì de qiē rù shēn fèn 。” lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī dào jīng guāng 。
“或许秦壮、焦修远，是个合适的切入身份。”李凡眼中闪过一道精光。
Eileen's eyes flickered as she stepped forward, approaching the seated Transmitter Jiang.
“ qín zhuàng dé shòu jiǔ shí jiǔ méi dào yuán ， zhǐ shì xiān shòu de zuì chū jí shǒu duàn 。 jù shuō qí shàng hái yǒu néng gòu shú liàn yùn yòng jiǔ bǎi jiǔ shí jiǔ méi 、 jiǔ qiān jiǔ bǎi jiǔ shí jiǔ méi ， nǎi zhì wú xiàn zhì de jué shì qiáng zhě 。”
“秦壮得授九十九枚道元，只是仙狩的最初级手段。据说其上还有能够熟练运用九百九十九枚、九千九百九十九枚，乃至无限制的绝世强者。”
Bowing her head, she carefully examined him.
“ zhè yě shì qiáng wài wén míng ， néng gòu shòu liè zhēn xiān de zī běn 。”
“这也是墙外文明，能够狩猎真仙的资本。”
The "all things are as me" feeling resurfaced in Eileen's mind. She couldn't help but admire Transmitter Jiang, the only one who received special attention from the Transmitter Heavenly Lord.
lǐ fán shí hǎi zhōng ， liǎng fú huà miàn fēn liè 。
李凡识海中，两幅画面分列。
Even though Eileen was a half-immortal, this feeling still arose within her.
zuǒ biān ， shì yī méi méi zhēn xiān zhuàn zì 。 yòu biān ， shì jiǔ shí jiǔ méi dào yuán fú hào 。
左边，是一枚枚真仙篆字。右边，是九十九枚道元符号。
The longer she stared at Transmitter Jiang, the more familiar and close he seemed.
lǐ fán shì tú ， jiāng miáo huì dào tú yǐ zhī de zhēn xiān zhuàn zì ， gēn zhè jiǔ shí jiǔ méi dào yuán fú hào xiāng duì yīng shàng 。 dàn hěn xiǎn rán ， zhè xiē dào yuán fú hào shì jīng guò tè yì jiā mì de ， bìng bù jù bèi yuán běn dào tú de tè zhēng 。
李凡试图，将描绘道途已知的真仙篆字，跟这九十九枚道元符号相对应上。但很显然，这些道元符号是经过特异加密的，并不具备原本道途的特征。
However, compared to the past, she could clearly distinguish their differences.
méi yǒu jīng guò xì tǒng de xué xí ， lǐ fán nǎ pà yǒu jīng shì zhī cái ， yě wú fǎ jiāng qí pò jiě 。
没有经过系统的学习，李凡哪怕有惊世之才，也无法将其破解。
"Like."
wēi wēi yáo tóu ， jiāng nǎo hǎi zhōng cǐ huà miàn zàn shí yǐn qù 。
微微摇头，将脑海中此画面暂时隐去。
"But ultimately not."
“ zhēn xiān ， xiān shòu 。 suī rán jìng jiè 、 lì liàng biǎo xiàn xíng shì dà bù xiāng tóng ， dàn jiū qí gēn běn ， hái shì duì dà dào de lǐng wù chéng dù 。”
“真仙，仙狩。虽然境界、力量表现形式大不相同，但究其根本，还是对大道的领悟程度。”
"No True, False can't become True."
“ zhǐ bù guò gāo qiáng wài ， tōng guò zhè suǒ wèi de dào yuán fú hào ， duì dà dào jìn xíng le yī céng zhuǎn yì 。 shǐ de dà dào zhī lì néng gòu bèi fán sú zhǎng wò bìng yùn yòng de tóng shí ， yě dù jué le yǒu rén shēn yǔ dào hé 、 tōu zǒu dà dào de kě néng 。”
“只不过高墙外，通过这所谓的道元符号，对大道进行了一层转译。使得大道之力能够被凡俗掌握并运用的同时，也杜绝了有人身与道合、偷走大道的可能。”
Eileen extended her right hand and lightly tapped Transmitter Jiang's forehead with a finger.
yuè shì pǐn wèi ， lǐ fán jiù yuè shì jīng tàn ：“ chuàng zào chū zhè dào yuán fú hào de ， qí duì dà dào de liǎo jiě ， kǒng pà bù zài dāng nián de míng dào xiān zhī xià le ！”
越是品味，李凡就越是惊叹：“创造出这道元符号的，其对大道的了解，恐怕不在当年的铭道仙之下了！”
Transmitter Jiang, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes wide in shock when he saw an unfamiliar face.
duì gāo qiáng wài bù zài shì yī wú suǒ zhī ， ér qiě hái yǒu zhe bù tà rù xiān jìng jiù gèng jìn yí bù de kě néng ， lǐ fán zài nǎo hǎi zhōng ， yǐ jīng chóng xīn kāi shǐ tuī yǎn tàn suǒ jì huà 。
对高墙外不再是一无所知，而且还有着不踏入仙境就更进一步的可能，李凡在脑海中，已经重新开始推衍探索计划。
"What are you?!" he asked coldly.
“ bù guò ， dé zuò hǎo wàn quán de zhǔn bèi cái shì 。”
“不过，得做好万全的准备才是。”
Eileen smiled: "Me? You!"
“ chú le yào fáng bèi gāo qiáng wài zhū shì lì ， hái yào dān xīn qí tā kě néng xìng zhī wài de cún zài 。”
“除了要防备高墙外诸势力，还要担心其他可能性之外的存在。”
Her eyes emitted a magical aura as she silently set up a dao array. Using the Disc of Separation to simulate this unique characteristic and reverse it on Transmitter Jiang.
tiào yuè kě néng xìng ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng xiǎn rán bìng bú huì zài xún cháng dà zhòng de rèn zhī zhī nèi 。 qín zhuàng de jì yì lǐ zì rán shì méi yǒu yī dīng diǎn de jì zǎi 。 lǐ fán shèn zhì huái yí ， zhěng gè gāo qiáng wài wén míng ， néng gòu zhī xiǎo zhè jiàn shì de 、 yě shì liáo liáo wú jǐ 。
跳跃可能性，这种事情显然并不会在寻常大众的认知之内。秦壮的记忆里自然是没有一丁点的记载。李凡甚至怀疑，整个高墙外文明，能够知晓这件事的、也是寥寥无几。
As the original owner, Transmitter Jiang's will didn't easily succumb at first.
dàn tái jiē yào yí bù bù zǒu 。
但台阶要一步步走。
He stared suspiciously at Eileen.
gēn hēi tiān yī 、 xié sū bái tā men xiāng bǐ ， lǐ fán xiàn zài de shí lì dí què hái shì tài ruò le 。
跟黑天医、邪苏白他们相比，李凡现在的实力的确还是太弱了。
But gradually, his appearance began to subtly change in his eyes, becoming more like him until they truly looked identical!
“ zàn shí hái zhǎo bú dào ， wǒ néng yòng de xiān líng zhī qì ， qián lù duàn jué 。 ér qiě cóng xiàn zài de qíng kuàng lái kàn ， bàn xiān hái zhǐ shì wèi gé de tí gāo 。 ruò shì zhēn de zhèng dào zhēn xiān ， kǒng pà zài gāo qiáng zhī wài shì jǔ bù wéi jiān 。 yě wèi bì shì shén me hǎo shì 。”
“暂时还找不到，我能用的仙灵之气，前路断绝。而且从现在的情况来看，半仙还只是位格的提高。若是真的证道真仙，恐怕在高墙之外是举步维艰。也未必是什么好事。”
It was as if he were looking in a mirror. Transmitter Jiang calmed down, feeling no longer threatened.
“ xiān tōng guò gāo qiáng wài dào yuán zhī fǎ ， tí gāo zì shēn shí lì zài shuō 。” lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǒu le jué duàn 。
“先通过高墙外道元之法，提高自身实力再说。”李凡心中有了决断。
"I have a premonition that my current strength is far from my limit."
“ lìng wài ， zài què bǎo ān quán de qíng kuàng xià ， hái shì yào qīn zì qù wǎng gāo qiáng wài yī tàng 。 kàn kàn suǒ wèi de dà dào huó yuè qū yù ， jiū jìng shì zěn me gè qíng kuàng 。”
“另外，在确保安全的情况下，还是要亲自去往高墙外一趟。看看所谓的大道活跃区域，究竟是怎么个情况。”
"Everything is like me, the highest realm of myriad ways, wouldn't all dao paths converge to me?"
xué xí dào yuán zhuǎn yì dà dào zhī fǎ ， jué fēi yì wèi zhe lǐ fán yào yī qiè cóng tóu kāi shǐ 。
学习道元转译大道之法，绝非意味着李凡要一切从头开始。
Transmitter Jiang's eyes widened as he heard his counterpart speak. His heart trembled violently.
Just like the dark star sea, beyond the high wall lies a realm where the path of dao is obscured. The surviving regions after the Dao Annihilation灾难，where the dao itself exists in an extremely inactive state.
Falling outside the high wall, Eileen could not comprehend what exactly this inactive state entailed. But she could imagine it as a comparison to resource abundance.
Perhaps such a situation can be seen as the richness of the environment and resources. In areas where the dao is scarce, understanding the dao becomes incredibly difficult. However, if one manages to achieve cultivation success under such harsh conditions, leaving for so-called high-activity regions...
One would instantly feel the impact of this change on their body.
Ordinary geniuses must be rare indeed!
The idea flashed through her mind, and Eileen felt a certain excitement stir within her. But quickly, she suppressed it.
The biggest issue is that the cultivation methods outside the high wall are different from those inside. Numerous factions coexist, though there's no large-scale warfare, minor disputes are constant. For outsiders, everyone is highly suspicious. Unidentified individuals would likely be apprehended and interrogated immediately...
Perhaps Qin Zhuang or Jiao Xiuyuan could serve as a suitable cover identity.
Eileen had learned that Qin Zhuang was granted 99 true dao characters by the Dao Hunt, but there were also rumors of experts who could proficiently use up to 999 or even an unlimited number. This was the capital for the outside civilization to hunt true immortals.
In Eileen's mind, two images were juxtaposed: on one side, true immortal characters; on the other, 99 dao symbols. She tried to match the known true immortal characters with these 99 symbols but found that they had undergone special encryption and lacked original dao characteristics. Without systematic learning, even with her extraordinary talent, she couldn't decipher them.
Shaking her head slightly, Eileen temporarily hid this image from her mind.
Though the realms of true immortals and Dao Hunt differ in form and manifestation, their core still lies in understanding the dao.
However, outside the high wall, through these so-called dao symbols, the dao was translated. This allowed ordinary people to grasp and utilize its power while preventing anyone from merging with it and stealing the dao.
The more she pondered, the more amazed Eileen became: "The creator of these dao symbols must have a profound understanding of the dao, comparable to that of the True Dao Immortal!"
With knowledge of true immortals outside the high wall and even the possibility of advancing without entering the realm of true immortals, Eileen began re-exploring her plans.
However, she needed to be fully prepared. Not only did she need to guard against various factions outside the high wall but also consider other possibilities.
This kind of speculation was not within the common understanding. Qin Zhuang's memories contained no such records. Eileen suspected that few in the outside civilization knew about this matter.
But step by step, she needed to proceed with caution. Compared to Black Heaven Doctor and Evil Su Bai, her current strength was still too weak.
For now, there were no usable immortal spirit energy sources available, and her path ahead seemed cut off. If she truly attained true immortality outside the high wall, it might be challenging but not necessarily a good thing.
She decided to use the dao symbols to enhance her own power first. She also planned to personally visit the outside of the high wall under safe conditions to see what these so-called high-activity regions were like.
Learning the dao symbol translation method did not mean starting from scratch for Eileen. Instead, she had a significant advantage over most outsiders: knowledge of numerous true immortal characters and even the leg bone of an unnamed true immortal, which could reveal near-dao-state characters.
The dao symbols were merely translated representations. No matter how they combined or resonated, their ultimate goal was to interact with and utilize the dao's power.
Without understanding the dao itself, relying solely on studying the dao symbols would be like walking blindfolded, only feeling around in the dark.
With a deep understanding of the target dao, having a distant endpoint as a reference point, learning should be much more efficient.
If she had enough knowledge of these dao symbols, she could potentially decipher them. Of course, the creator of these symbols likely anticipated this and included some unknown restrictions.
...
Before officially exploring outside the high wall, Eileen had several important matters to attend to: the Five Elders Association,无忧乐土, the Dao Stone Mother, the Transmitter Jiang, and the hidden secrets of the Xuan Huang realm, including the Qingming pearl still in the star sea's fissure.
...
Based on difficulty, Eileen first visited Transmitter Jiang. The unique "all things are as me" characteristic had nearly caused her a fall earlier.
Now, she was very curious if this strange power could still affect her after attaining true immortality.
Transmitter Jiang was sealed in the Vast Void realm for long periods of time and rarely left his main form.
Eileen appeared in this small world with interest. Transmitter Jiang, who was meditating with his eyes closed, did not notice her presence.
The Vast Void realm can continuously "return to its original state," meaning it resets to its initial condition regardless of what happens...
This somewhat resembled the "True" she had experienced, but their rank was vastly different. She could only maintain this small world and even couldn't reset time; just the material state.
Despite this, Eileen was curious about how "returning to the original state" worked.
Golden lines radiated like his eyes and touch, covering the surroundings, explaining the small world to her.
Ah... it's not a unrestricted return. The essence of the initial state is deeply engraved, like marks made with a file on stone.
All changes in this small world can be eliminated by simply erasing one layer, returning everything to its original point.
After some time, Eileen understood but felt disappointed. But it was already remarkable that Transmitter Jiang could come up with such a method. Although shallow and crude, it provided inspiration.
Eileen's eyes flickered as she stepped forward, approaching the seated Transmitter Jiang.
Bowing her head, she carefully examined him.
The "all things are as me" feeling resurfaced in Eileen's mind. She couldn't help but admire Transmitter Jiang, the only one who received special attention from the Transmitter Heavenly Lord.
Even though Eileen was a half-immortal, this feeling still arose within her.
The longer she stared at Transmitter Jiang, the more familiar and close he seemed.
However, compared to the past, she could clearly distinguish their differences.
"Like."
"But ultimately not."
"No True, False can't become True."
Eileen extended her right hand and lightly tapped Transmitter Jiang's forehead with a finger.
Transmitter Jiang, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes wide in shock when he saw an unfamiliar face.
"What are you?!" he asked coldly.
Eileen smiled: "Me? You!"
Her eyes emitted a magical aura as she silently set up a dao array. Using the Disc of Separation to simulate this unique characteristic and reverse it on Transmitter Jiang.
As the original owner, Transmitter Jiang's will didn't easily succumb at first.
He stared suspiciously at Eileen.
But gradually, his appearance began to subtly change in his eyes, becoming more like him until they truly looked identical!
It was as if he were looking in a mirror. Transmitter Jiang calmed down, feeling no longer threatened.
"I have a premonition that my current strength is far from my limit."
"Everything is like me, the highest realm of myriad ways, wouldn't all dao paths converge to me?"
Transmitter Jiang's eyes widened as he heard his counterpart speak. His heart trembled violently.
