tōng guò gēn zhí yú zhào ruò xī shén hún shēn chù de zhèn fǎ wén lù ， lǐ fán jiāng duì fāng de jì yì zhuǎn shùn jiān kàn le gè biàn 。
通过根植于赵若曦神魂深处的阵法纹路，李凡将对方的记忆转瞬间看了个遍。
Through intense focus, Li Fan concentrated all his attention on the fragile Qingming Pearl in front of him.
bù kuì shì jí wàn zhòng yú yī rén de yī xīn tiān zūn ， suǒ jīng lì zhǒng zhǒng chǎng miàn lìng rén zé shé 。
不愧是集万众于一人的一心天尊，所经历种种场面令人咋舌。
Xiaoyu's life force from practicing the Eternal Unique Self cultivation technique had only condensed into four green droplets.
bù guò zhè bú shì zhòng diǎn 。
不过这不是重点。
Without much further manipulation required, relying on its inherent connection with the Qingming Pearl, these green droplets began to slowly emit energy towards the nearby Qingming Pearl.
lǐ fán hěn kuài jiù zhǎo dào le zì jǐ xiǎng yào de 。
李凡很快就找到了自己想要的。
A Longevity Heaven cultivator's millennia of cultivation finally brought this divine artifact back from the brink of destruction!
「 qǔ tiān ér dài ……」
「取天而代……」
Li Fan felt a surge of joy as his divine consciousness enveloped the Qingming Pearl tightly.
lái zì dà dào zōng de mì cáng 、 xī rì fù miè xuán tiān jiào de fēng hòu yí chǎn zhī yī 。 jù shuō kě yǐ wán quán bō duó xuán tiān jiào zhòng de gōng fǎ 、 xiū wèi ， gèng kě yǐ jiāng xiū xíng xuán tiān jiào gōng fǎ suǒ huò dé jìng jiè 、 shí lì ， yí huā jiē mù bān ， zhuǎn yí dào shī shù zhě zì jǐ shēn shàng 。
来自大道宗的密藏、昔日覆灭玄天教的丰厚遗产之一。据说可以完全剥夺玄天教众的功法、修为，更可以将修行玄天教功法所获得境界、实力，移花接木般，转移到施术者自己身上。
The surface of the Qingming Pearl, like an expansive blue sky, radiated layers of energy attempting to block Li Fan's probing.
lǐ fán duì zhè mì shù de shuō míng ， bǎo chí huái yí tài dù 。
李凡对这秘术的说明，保持怀疑态度。
However, for ordinary mortals, such defenses might still be effective. Or perhaps if the Qingming Pearl were in its prime, it could have withstood his intrusion. But currently, it was just recovering from a near-collapse state and was barely alive. How could it possibly resist the semi-divine Li Fan?
bì jìng shì shí èr fǎ wáng nà yàng de rén wù ， yīng gāi bù kě néng jiù zhè me jiǎn dān bèi zhè yàng yí gè mì shù suǒ qīng sōng qián zhì 。
毕竟似十二法王那样的人物，应该不可能就这么简单被这样一个秘术所轻松钳制。
His divine consciousness pierced through like a needle, entering the inner depths of the Qingming Pearl.
dàn wú lùn rú hé ， tiān xuán jiào gōng fǎ jué dà duō shù chū zì qīng míng zhū 。 néng bèi qí shōu huí ， yě bìng fēi shì shén me chāo hū cháng lǐ zhī wài de shì qíng 。 lǐ fán xiàn zài yào zuò de ， jiù shì duì zhè 【 qǔ tiān ér dài 】 mì fǎ gēn qīng míng zhū shì fǒu yǒu lián xì ， jìn xíng yàn zhèng 。
但无论如何，天玄教功法绝大多数出自青冥珠。能被其收回，也并非是什么超乎常理之外的事情。李凡现在要做的，就是对这【取天而带】秘法跟青冥珠是否有联系，进行验证。
Boom!
tōng guò xiū wèi ， fǎn bǔ qīng míng zhū 。 shǐ qí cóng jí jiāng chè dǐ bēng kuì de biān yuán ， tuō lí chū lái 。 ér hòu lǐ fán zài fǔ zhī yǐ zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn ， yí bù bù jiāng qí xiū fù 。
通过修为，反哺青冥珠。使其从即将彻底崩溃的边缘，脱离出来。而后李凡再辅之以真假之变，一步步将其修复。
Li Fan's vision shook violently as if he had been transported to another strange realm. Twelve majestic palaces stood in the sky, surrounded by the world's heavens. Each palace housed a statue. Innumerable cultivators from the ground knelt and prayed before them. The statues occasionally revealed active faces, seemingly communicating with the kneeling cultivators.
zhì yú bèi guàn shū jìn rù qīng míng zhū de fǎn bǔ xiū wèi ……
至于被灌输进入青冥珠的反哺修为……
The Spiritual Witch Realm!
xiū xíng 【 wàn gǔ dú wǒ jué 】 de zhào ruò xī ， zì rán jiù shì zuì jiā de lái yuán ！
修行【万古独我诀】的赵若曦，自然就是最佳的来源！
When the mental imagery faded, Li Fan realized what he had just seen.
cóng zhào ruò xī de jì yì zhōng ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng zhī xiǎo ， suī rán tā nǎi shì yǐ 「 wàn zhòng ér yī xīn 」 zhī lǐ zhèng dào 。 dàn xiū xíng gōng fǎ de nèi hé ， hái shì wàn gǔ wéi wǒ jué nà yī tào 。
从赵若曦的记忆中，李凡已经知晓，虽然她乃是以「万众而一心」之理证道。但修行功法的内核，还是万古唯我诀那一套。
That thread of divine consciousness had been forcefully expelled by the Qingming Pearl.
「 chén mí yóu xì ， bù sī jìn qǔ 。」
「沉迷游戏，不思进取。」
Li Fan did not attempt to re-enter. With his previous contact, using the unique aura of the Qingming Pearl, he could recreate it with a False Reality in a short period!
「 néng gòu nì lǐ chéng gōng ， yě shì zhàn le zhè mén gōng fǎ nì tiān tè xìng de pián yi 。」
「能够逆理成功，也是占了这门功法逆天特性的便宜。」
But Li Fan didn't leave immediately. He already sensed that creating another Qingming Pearl through a False Reality would come at a much greater cost and needed preparation.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng lěng hēng yī shēng ， píng jià dào 。 què shì zhǎ yǎn jiān ， jiù yǐ jīng huí dào le gāo qiáng xià wā dì ， qīng míng zhū suǒ zài 。
李凡心中冷哼一声，评价道。却是眨眼间，就已经回到了高墙下洼地，青冥珠所在。
The Qingming Pearl was still immobile, so Li Fan set up layers of divine arrays around it. The flickering light points representing divine-level formations surrounded him as he felt somewhat reassured.
jiě lí dié zǎo yǐ jīng jiāng qǔ tiān ér dài mì shù ， zhuǎn yì chéng zhèn fǎ 。
解离碟早已经将取天而代秘术，转译成阵法。
"False is also real!"
sī sī guāng diǎn ， dài zhe zhèn fǎ xìn xī wú xíng jiān jìn rù zhào shī jiě shén hún zhī zhōng 。
丝丝光点，带着阵法信息无形间进入赵师姐神魂之中。
Li Fan silently chanted, but the target wasn't the Qingming Pearl; rather, himself! His cultivation, divine consciousness, and all other aspects of his power doubled in a comprehensive surge.
guāng diǎn shùn zhe mì mì má má de zhèn fǎ wén lù màn yán ， yùn zhuàn zhī jiān ， jiāng zhào shī jiě de xiū wèi ， huǎn huǎn chōu qǔ 。
光点顺着密密麻麻的阵法纹路蔓延，运转之间，将赵师姐的修为，缓缓抽取。
Still feeling that it was not enough, Li Fan took a brief rest before using False Reality again. Three times his original strength could only last for so long. He waited until his body adapted to the strain before focusing on the Qingming Pearl.
ér zài lǐ fán shǒu zhōng ， yī dī dī fàn zhe guǐ yì lǜ sè de yè dī ， zhèng huǎn huǎn chéng xíng 。
而在李凡手中，一滴滴泛着诡异绿色的液滴，正缓缓成型。
Using the vast expanse of blue sky as a guide, Li Fan recalled the fleeting scene from the Spiritual Witch Realm.
zhào ruò xī zì rán shì néng mǐn ruì de chá jué dào ， zì jǐ xiū wèi tū rán jiān liú shī de 。
赵若曦自然是能敏锐的察觉到，自己修为突然间流失的。
He visualized another Qingming Pearl existing.
duì yú tā zhè yàng de cháng shēng jìng ér yán ， méi yǒu shén me bǐ yì xī zhī jiān biàn huí fán rén hái yào gèng kě pà 。
对于她这样的长生境而言，没有什么比一夕之间变回凡人还要更可怕。
"False..."
tā miàn sè cāng bái ， bù zhī dào zì jǐ nǎ lǐ dé zuì le nà wèi xǐ nù wú cháng de zhēn xiān 。
她面色苍白，不知道自己哪里得罪了那位喜怒无常的真仙。
"Also real!"
zhào ruò xī xiū wèi liú shì de sù dù ， yuè lái yuè kuài 。 dàn tā què háo wú fāng fǎ ， zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe zì jǐ shù qiān nián lái xīn kǔ jī zǎn de jīng huá ， zài zì jǐ miàn qián xiāo shī 。
赵若曦修为流逝的速度，越来越快。但她却毫无方法，只能眼睁睁的看着自己数千年来辛苦积攒的精华，在自己面前消失。
Li Fan felt that this time, it was far more strenuous than his previous recreation of Jinggu Cangyuan. The reason was likely because Jinggu Cangyuan existed in a single form while the current Qingming Pearl represented many laws.
bìng qiě ， tā hěn kuài hái yì shí dào le yī jiàn gèng jiā kě bù de shì qíng 。
并且，她很快还意识到了一件更加可怖的事情。
His forehead bulged with veins as he felt drained, but the color on the Qingming Pearl seemed to become even clearer and more vivid.
zì cóng nì lǐ 、 chéng wéi xuán huáng jiè cháng shēng tiān zūn zhī hòu ， tā chéng wéi le xuán huáng jiè de yī bù fèn 。
自从逆理、成为玄黄界长生天尊之后，她成为了玄黄界的一部分。
Li Fan knew his attempt had succeeded. The叠加ed False Reality power slowly dissipated, bringing a wave of fatigue over him.
suī rán tā mù qián shàng chù zài cháng shēng jìng ， dàn suí zhe dà liàng xiū wèi de liú shì ， tā yù fā chán ruò de shēn tǐ 、 sì hū wú fǎ zài zhī chēng qǐ zì jǐ suǒ nì de xuán huáng zhī lǐ ！
虽然她目前尚处在长生境，但随着大量修为的流逝，她愈发孱弱的身体、似乎无法再支撑起自己所逆的玄黄之理！
But after briefly resting, Li Fan resumed replicating the Qingming Pearl.
fǎng fú bèi zhòng wù suǒ fù yā ， shén hún 、 shēn qū ， dōu kāi shǐ yǐn yǐn zuò tòng 。
仿佛被重物所覆压，神魂、身躯，都开始隐隐作痛。
Each use of False Reality deepened his understanding. However, like those artificially created things, most of these insights would fade with time, leaving only a small portion behind.
「 é ń ……」 zhào ruò xī wú fǎ yì zhì de mèn hēng yī shēng ， shēn tǐ gè chù dōu bàn suí zhe wú shù xì xiǎo xuè hén de chū xiàn 。
「额嗯……」赵若曦无法抑制的闷哼一声，身体各处都伴随着无数细小血痕的出现。
"False Reality is intangible and ethereal, but it's my foundation."
ér qiě bìng bú shì tā zhè yī jù shēn tǐ 。
而且并不是她这一具身体。
"Simply relying on each True Reality is not enough; it can't fully guide me."
suǒ yǒu de tā ， dōu chù zài le bēng kuì de biān yuán 。
所有的她，都处在了崩溃的边缘。
With a determined look in his eyes, Li Fan used False Reality again. In the dark river of the depression, an indescribable aura continuously appeared and disappeared.
tòng kǔ hái zài jiā jù 。
痛苦还在加剧。
Time passed slowly as Li Fan's appearance remained unchanged, but his aura became increasingly unpredictable.
tǐ nèi líng lì liú shì dài jìn ， shèn zhì hái bù rú xún cháng liàn qì qī xiū shì ， zhào ruò xī gǎn dào le qián suǒ wèi yǒu de xū ruò 。 lái zì shēn hún de cùn cùn niǎn yā 、 sī suì gǎn ， yě bàn suí zhe tā shí lì de jiàng dī ， ér dé dào le qiān bǎi bèi de zēng fú 。
体内灵力流逝殆尽，甚至还不如寻常炼气期修士，赵若曦感到了前所未有的虚弱。来自身魂的寸寸碾压、撕碎感，也伴随着她实力的降低，而得到了千百倍的增幅。
He seemed like a true immortal!
xiān xuè zì hún shēn biàn bù de liè kǒu pēn yǒng ér chū ， jiāng tā jìn rùn chéng yī jù xuè rén ， yǎn gài zhù le héng liú de tì lèi 。 tòng kǔ de wú fǎ fā chū rèn hé hǎn jiào ， zhǐ néng cóng hóu lóng lǐ fā shēng xiē xǔ sī yǎ de shēng xiǎng 。
鲜血自浑身遍布的裂口喷涌而出，将她浸润成一具血人，掩盖住了横流的涕泪。痛苦的无法发出任何喊叫，只能从喉咙里发生些许嘶哑的声响。
After burning incense time had passed, Li Fan finally felt that he had reached his limit.
sì hū qǐng kè jiān jí jiāng biàn huí fán rén de kǒng jù ， yǐ jí shén hún shēn qū suǒ gǎn shòu dào de yǔ shí jù zēng 、 wú chǔ bù zài de tòng kǔ ， shǐ de zhào ruò xī huǎng hū jiān fǎng fú huí dào le nián yòu shí de dà qīng shān 。
似乎顷刻间即将变回凡人的恐惧，以及神魂身躯所感受到的与时俱增、无处不在的痛苦，使得赵若曦恍惚间仿佛回到了年幼时的大青山。
Exhausted, he fell into a deep sleep.
nà shí ， dào fěi zài cūn zhōng shāo shā qiǎng
那时，盗匪在村中烧杀抢
Ignoring the newly restored Qingming Pearl, Li Fan first sat in meditation to rest. His mind went blank as if falling asleep. However, countless light points flickered on and off repeatedly.
lüè ， xuè guāng chōng tiān 。
掠，血光冲天。
Three days later, after a short nap, Li Fan regained his spirit through intense False Reality practice over a short period of time.
ér duǒ zài cūn wài ， kàn zhe sì hū fā xiàn le zì jǐ 、 zhèng níng xiào zhe fēi bēn ér lái de xiōng hàn fěi tú men ， zhào ruò xī jīng huáng shī cuò 。
而躲在村外，看着似乎发现了自己、正狞笑着飞奔而来的凶悍匪徒们，赵若曦惊惶失措。
Through this high-intensity effort, Li Fan gained insights equivalent to five True Realities in just one session.
fā xiàn le bù zhī cóng shén me shí hòu qǐ ， jiù zài bù yuǎn chù jìng jìng chù lì bù dòng de yī dào shēn yǐng 。
发现了不知从什么时候起，就在不远处静静矗立不动的一道身影。
"Because I've been pushing my limits continuously for the first time."
fǎng fú zhuā zhù le wéi yī kě néng de jiù mìng dào cǎo ， zhào ruò xī kū zhe qǐ qiú dào ：「 xiān shī jiù mìng ！ xiān shī jiù mìng a ！」
仿佛抓住了唯一可能的救命稻草，赵若曦哭着乞求道：「仙师救命！仙师救命啊！」
"This has awakened my forgotten insights from previous attempts. The next such attempt will likely not be as effective."
hóu lóng zhōng fā chū de sī hǒu ， sì hū gēn jì yì zhōng guò qù de chóng dié 。
喉咙中发出的嘶吼，似乎跟记忆中过去的重叠。
"But it's still significant."
zhǐ shì bèi zhào ruò xī shì zuò jiù xīng de nà dào shēn yǐng ， bù zài shì zǎo yǐ jīng bèi tā bào fù tūn shì de dà dào zōng yuè huá yī mài dì sì dài dì zǐ ， zhāng róng 。
只是被赵若曦视作救星的那道身影，不再是早已经被她报复吞噬的大道宗月华一脉第四代弟子，张荣。
Li Fan realized that each True Reality he activated provided different and purer insights compared to his own attempts, which were easier to control but less pure.
ér shì biàn wèi le lǐ fán ！
而是变为了李凡！
"From understanding to practice, there is a long way to go."
mó hú shēn yǐng zài zhào ruò xī xīn zhōng de róng mào ， zhú jiàn qīng xī 。 fǎng fú huí yìng le tā de qǐ qiú ， lǐ fán wēi wēi yī xiào 。
模糊身影在赵若曦心中的容貌，逐渐清晰。仿佛回应了她的乞求，李凡微微一笑。
"Each True Reality deepens my comprehension. But the actual practice requires me to do it myself."
cóng zhào ruò xī shén hún zhōng ， wú shù zhèn fǎ wén lù de zhōng yāng 。 nà xuán huáng jiè xū yǐng zhōng ， yì sàn chū sī sī jīng chún wú bǐ de néng liàng 。 qǐ chū zhǐ shì chán chán xī shuǐ ， dàn zhuǎn shùn zhī hòu ， biàn huà zuò dà jiāng dà hé ， bēn yǒng páo xiāo bù xī 。
从赵若曦神魂中，无数阵法纹路的中央。那玄黄界虚影中，逸散出丝丝精纯无比的能量。起初只是潺潺溪水，但转瞬之后，便化作大江大河，奔涌咆哮不息。
With this realization, Li Fan felt a sense of enlightenment.
zhuǎn shùn jiù guàn shū mǎn le zhào ruò xī de shēn tǐ 。
转瞬就灌输满了赵若曦的身体。
Suddenly, a faint signal of teachability came from True Reality. Li Fan continued trying to communicate with it but received no response.
zhè wèi yuán běn hái yǎn yǎn yī xī de yī xīn tiān zūn ， yòu qǐng kè jiān chóng xīn biàn dé shēng lóng huó hǔ qǐ lái 。
这位原本还奄奄一息的一心天尊，又顷刻间重新变得生龙活虎起来。
Shaking his head slightly, he put aside the matter and looked at the Qingming Pearl.
gǎn shòu zhe zì jǐ tǐ nèi nà lái zì xuán huáng jiè xū yǐng de 、 sì hū qǔ zhī bù jìn yòng zhī bù jié de páng dà lì liàng ， zhào ruò xī gǎn dào zì jǐ biàn dé bǐ yǐ qián gèng jiā qiáng dà 。
感受着自己体内那来自玄黄界虚影的、似乎取之不尽用之不竭的庞大力量，赵若曦感到自己变得比以前更加强大。
He picked up the artifact gently.
bái xī pí fū biǎo miàn de xuè zì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。 zhào ruò xī gōng jìng wú bǐ de duì chù lì zì jǐ shén hún shēn chù de nà dào shēn yǐng bài xiè 。
白皙皮肤表面的血渍消失不见。赵若曦恭敬无比的对矗立自己神魂深处的那道身影拜谢。
The lack of resistance suggested that this divine item had barely escaped fragmentation.
……
……
"Although勉强摆脱了碎裂的状态，但威能还是大幅下降。"
méi yǒu zài yì zhào ruò xī nà biān de xì xiǎo dòng jìng ， lǐ fán cǐ kè quán bù de zhù yì lì ， dōu jí zhōng zài le yǎn qián cuì ruò wú bǐ de qīng míng zhū shàng 。
没有在意赵若曦那边的细小动静，李凡此刻全部的注意力，都集中在了眼前脆弱无比的青冥珠上。
"Since its contained vitality was extracted to repair the Dark Star Sea."
zhào ruò xī xiū xíng wàn gǔ dú wǒ jué bì shēng de xiū wèi ， yě zhǐ shì huà zuò le sì dī lǜ yè 。
赵若曦修行万古独我诀毕生的修为，也只是化作了四滴绿液。
Li Fan observed the abundant life force in the depression, thinking so.
ér bìng bù xū yào lǐ fán guò duō cāo kòng ， píng jiè zhe gēn qīng míng zhū zhī jiān de míng míng guān lián 。 zhè lǜ yè zì chū xiàn zhī hòu ， néng liàng jiù huǎn huǎn de cháo zhe bù yuǎn chù de qīng míng zhū yì sàn 。
而并不需要李凡过多操控，凭借着跟青冥珠之间的冥冥关联。这绿液自出现之后，能量就缓缓的朝着不远处的青冥珠逸散。
But what Li Fan valued wasn't the Qingming Pearl's vitality but its rumored divine abilities.
yī míng cháng shēng tiān zūn de jìn wàn nián kǔ xiū ， zhōng yú ràng zhè jiàn xiān qì ， cóng bīn lín pò miè de biān yuán chéng gōng zǒu le chū lái ！
一名长生天尊的近万年苦修，终于让这件仙器，从濒临破灭的边缘成功走了出来！
"The Qingming Pearl can absorb other divine artifacts and transfer their functions into itself."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， shén niàn rú yǐng suí xíng ， hěn kuài jǐn gēn zhe jiāng qīng míng zhū chóng chóng bāo guǒ 。
李凡心中一喜，神念如影随行，很快紧跟着将青冥珠重重包裹。
"And it can extract a cultivator's cultivation techniques from their corpse."
qīng míng zhū biǎo miàn ， wǎn rú hào dàng qīng tiān zhī sè ， céng céng liú zhuǎn 。 shì tú zǔ zhǐ zhe lǐ fán de kuī tàn 。
青冥珠表面，宛如浩荡青天之色，层层流转。试图阻止着李凡的窥探。
After investigating, Li Fan found no spirit presence within the Qingming Pearl. Without his repair, it would have been nothing more than an empty shell now.
zhè céng fáng hù ， duì fán sú zhī rén lái shuō ， huò xǔ hái yǒu yòng 。 yì huò zhě shuō ， ruò shì qīng míng zhū quán shèng shí qī ， huò xǔ hái néng lán zhù lǐ fán 。
这层防护，对凡俗之人来说，或许还有用。亦或者说，若是青冥珠全盛时期，或许还能拦住李凡。
But now...
dàn tā mù qián yě shì gāng gāng cóng jí jiāng pò miè zhuàng tài tuō lí ， bàn sǐ bù huó 。 yòu qǐ néng zǔ dǎng zhù bàn xiān zhī qū de lǐ fán ？
但它目前也是刚刚从即将破灭状态脱离，半死不活。又岂能阻挡住半仙之躯的李凡？
"Functions still work."
shén niàn rú zhēn ， huà pò qīng tiān 。 cháng qū zhí rù ， cì rù qīng míng zhū nèi bù 。
神念如针，划破青天。长驱直入，刺入青冥珠内部。
Li Fan returned to the Spiritual Witch Realm with the Qingming Pearl.
hōng ！
轰！
To avoid alerting the Starved Immortal in the Divine Ruins, he kept the surrounding divine arrays hidden as a layer of white mist.
lǐ fán yǎn qián huà miàn měng zhèn dòng ， xià yī kè ， tā fǎng fú lái dào le yī piàn qí yì zhī jìng 。
李凡眼前画面猛震动，下一刻，他仿佛来到了一片奇异之境。
He looked like a true immortal.
shí èr zuò chù lì zài yún xiāo zhī shàng de sēn yán gōng diàn ， huán rào fēn bù ， zhàn jù le shì jiè de tiān qióng 。
十二座矗立在云霄之上的森严宫殿，环绕分布，占据了世界的天穹。
"Absorbing divine artifacts..."
měi yī zuò gōng diàn zhōng ， dōu gòng fèng zhe yī zūn diāo xiàng 。
每一座宫殿中，都供奉着一尊雕像。
Li Fan turned his gaze towards Sun Family's underground secret chamber where the Boundless Mirror was located.
yuán yuán bù duàn de xiū shì ， zì dà dì shàng lái 。 guì bài 、 qí dǎo 。
源源不断的修士，自大地上来。跪拜、祈祷。
Reaching out, the Boundless Mirror broke through time and space to land in Li Fan's palm.
ér diāo xiàng shàng ， jìng bù shí xiǎn huà chū huó dòng de miàn kǒng 。 sì hū gēn zhè xiē guì bài xiū shì zài jiāo liú zhe shén me 。
而雕像上，竟不时显化出活动的面孔。似乎跟这些跪拜修士在交流着什么。
"Who are you!"
……
……
Ignoring the惊呼 from the spirit of the Boundless Mirror, Sun Lu Yao, Li Fan fed it directly into the Qingming Pearl.
shén wū jiè ！
神巫界！
Although both were once divine artifacts and severely damaged, the Boundless Mirror was clearly a different level compared to the Qingming Pearl. With Li Fan's suppression, the Boundless Mirror showed no resistance before sinking into the vast blue of the Qingming Pearl.
dāng nǎo hǎi zhōng huà miàn sàn qù hòu ， lǐ fán yě míng bái le zì jǐ gāng gāng suǒ jiàn de jiū jìng shì shén me 。
当脑海中画面散去后，李凡也明白了自己刚刚所见的究竟是什么。
The surface of the Qingming Pearl seemed to have rained down, creating ripples.
nà sī shén niàn ， yǐ jīng bèi qīng míng zhū qiáng xíng qū zhú chū lái 。
那丝神念，已经被青冥珠强行驱逐出来。
Due to its weakened state, this sudden absorption took almost half a day for digestion.
lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu zài dù cháng shì qīn rù 。 yǒu le gāng gāng de jiē chù ， píng jiè zhe qīng míng zhū dú yǒu de nà lǚ qì xī ， tā zú yǐ yòng zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn ， zài duǎn shí jiān nèi jiāng qí fù xiàn ！
李凡并没有再度尝试侵入。有了刚刚的接触，凭借着青冥珠独有的那缕气息，他足以用真假之变，在短时间内将其复现！
When the rain subsided, an unusual aura emerged from within the Qingming Pearl.
Through intense focus, Li Fan concentrated all his attention on the fragile Qingming Pearl in front of him.
Xiaoyu's life force from practicing the Eternal Unique Self cultivation technique had only condensed into four green droplets.
Without much further manipulation required, relying on its inherent connection with the Qingming Pearl, these green droplets began to slowly emit energy towards the nearby Qingming Pearl.
A Longevity Heaven cultivator's millennia of cultivation finally brought this divine artifact back from the brink of destruction!
Li Fan felt a surge of joy as his divine consciousness enveloped the Qingming Pearl tightly.
The surface of the Qingming Pearl, like an expansive blue sky, radiated layers of energy attempting to block Li Fan's probing.
However, for ordinary mortals, such defenses might still be effective. Or perhaps if the Qingming Pearl were in its prime, it could have withstood his intrusion. But currently, it was just recovering from a near-collapse state and was barely alive. How could it possibly resist the semi-divine Li Fan?
His divine consciousness pierced through like a needle, entering the inner depths of the Qingming Pearl.
Boom!
Li Fan's vision shook violently as if he had been transported to another strange realm. Twelve majestic palaces stood in the sky, surrounded by the world's heavens. Each palace housed a statue. Innumerable cultivators from the ground knelt and prayed before them. The statues occasionally revealed active faces, seemingly communicating with the kneeling cultivators.
The Spiritual Witch Realm!
When the mental imagery faded, Li Fan realized what he had just seen.
That thread of divine consciousness had been forcefully expelled by the Qingming Pearl.
Li Fan did not attempt to re-enter. With his previous contact, using the unique aura of the Qingming Pearl, he could recreate it with a False Reality in a short period!
But Li Fan didn't leave immediately. He already sensed that creating another Qingming Pearl through a False Reality would come at a much greater cost and needed preparation.
The Qingming Pearl was still immobile, so Li Fan set up layers of divine arrays around it. The flickering light points representing divine-level formations surrounded him as he felt somewhat reassured.
"False is also real!"
Li Fan silently chanted, but the target wasn't the Qingming Pearl; rather, himself! His cultivation, divine consciousness, and all other aspects of his power doubled in a comprehensive surge.
Still feeling that it was not enough, Li Fan took a brief rest before using False Reality again. Three times his original strength could only last for so long. He waited until his body adapted to the strain before focusing on the Qingming Pearl.
Using the vast expanse of blue sky as a guide, Li Fan recalled the fleeting scene from the Spiritual Witch Realm.
He visualized another Qingming Pearl existing.
"False..."
"Also real!"
Li Fan felt that this time, it was far more strenuous than his previous recreation of Jinggu Cangyuan. The reason was likely because Jinggu Cangyuan existed in a single form while the current Qingming Pearl represented many laws.
His forehead bulged with veins as he felt drained, but the color on the Qingming Pearl seemed to become even clearer and more vivid.
Li Fan knew his attempt had succeeded. The叠加ed False Reality power slowly dissipated, bringing a wave of fatigue over him.
But after briefly resting, Li Fan resumed replicating the Qingming Pearl.
Each use of False Reality deepened his understanding. However, like those artificially created things, most of these insights would fade with time, leaving only a small portion behind.
"False Reality is intangible and ethereal, but it's my foundation."
"Simply relying on each True Reality is not enough; it can't fully guide me."
With a determined look in his eyes, Li Fan used False Reality again. In the dark river of the depression, an indescribable aura continuously appeared and disappeared.
Time passed slowly as Li Fan's appearance remained unchanged, but his aura became increasingly unpredictable.
He seemed like a true immortal!
After burning incense time had passed, Li Fan finally felt that he had reached his limit.
Exhausted, he fell into a deep sleep.
Ignoring the newly restored Qingming Pearl, Li Fan first sat in meditation to rest. His mind went blank as if falling asleep. However, countless light points flickered on and off repeatedly.
Three days later, after a short nap, Li Fan regained his spirit through intense False Reality practice over a short period of time.
Through this high-intensity effort, Li Fan gained insights equivalent to five True Realities in just one session.
"Because I've been pushing my limits continuously for the first time."
"This has awakened my forgotten insights from previous attempts. The next such attempt will likely not be as effective."
"But it's still significant."
Li Fan realized that each True Reality he activated provided different and purer insights compared to his own attempts, which were easier to control but less pure.
"From understanding to practice, there is a long way to go."
"Each True Reality deepens my comprehension. But the actual practice requires me to do it myself."
With this realization, Li Fan felt a sense of enlightenment.
Suddenly, a faint signal of teachability came from True Reality. Li Fan continued trying to communicate with it but received no response.
Shaking his head slightly, he put aside the matter and looked at the Qingming Pearl.
He picked up the artifact gently.
The lack of resistance suggested that this divine item had barely escaped fragmentation.
"Although勉强摆脱了碎裂的状态，但威能还是大幅下降。"
"Since its contained vitality was extracted to repair the Dark Star Sea."
Li Fan observed the abundant life force in the depression, thinking so.
But what Li Fan valued wasn't the Qingming Pearl's vitality but its rumored divine abilities.
"The Qingming Pearl can absorb other divine artifacts and transfer their functions into itself."
"And it can extract a cultivator's cultivation techniques from their corpse."
After investigating, Li Fan found no spirit presence within the Qingming Pearl. Without his repair, it would have been nothing more than an empty shell now.
But now...
"Functions still work."
Li Fan returned to the Spiritual Witch Realm with the Qingming Pearl.
To avoid alerting the Starved Immortal in the Divine Ruins, he kept the surrounding divine arrays hidden as a layer of white mist.
He looked like a true immortal.
"Absorbing divine artifacts..."
Li Fan turned his gaze towards Sun Family's underground secret chamber where the Boundless Mirror was located.
Reaching out, the Boundless Mirror broke through time and space to land in Li Fan's palm.
"Who are you!"
Ignoring the惊呼 from the spirit of the Boundless Mirror, Sun Lu Yao, Li Fan fed it directly into the Qingming Pearl.
Although both were once divine artifacts and severely damaged, the Boundless Mirror was clearly a different level compared to the Qingming Pearl. With Li Fan's suppression, the Boundless Mirror showed no resistance before sinking into the vast blue of the Qingming Pearl.
The surface of the Qingming Pearl seemed to have rained down, creating ripples.
Due to its weakened state, this sudden absorption took almost half a day for digestion.
When the rain subsided, an unusual aura emerged from within the Qingming Pearl.
