míng míng guāng máng nèi lǐ ， shì yùn hán shì shàng suǒ yǒu kě néng de wú xiàn hǎi yáng 。 dàn cǐ kè lǐ fán zhǐ jiān de xiān líng zhī lì guāng máng ， jìng hǎo sì fēng zhōng cán zhú yì bān ， cuì ruò bù kān 。
明明光芒内里，是蕴含世上所有可能的无限海洋。但此刻李凡指尖的仙灵之力光芒，竟好似风中残烛一般，脆弱不堪。
The essence of the divine spirit, once again enveloping him, seemed to bring back that boundless ocean.
shǎn shuò míng miè bù dìng ， huàng dàng bù zhǐ 。
闪烁明灭不定，晃荡不止。
"Indeed, the heavenly realm is vast and boundless."
gèng ràng lǐ fán xīn zhōng àn jīng de shì ， jiǔ shí jiǔ xī zhī hòu ， zhǐ jiān de xiān líng zhī lì guāng huǒ ， jū rán háo wú zhēng zhào de hū rán xī miè le 。 jiù hǎo xiàng yǒu wèi zhī de wú xíng cún zài ， duì zhǔn tā ， ér hòu qīng qīng chuī le yī kǒu 。
更让李凡心中暗惊的是，九十九息之后，指尖的仙灵之力光火，居然毫无征兆的忽然熄灭了。就好像有未知的无形存在，对准它，而后轻轻吹了一口。
"The expanse here surpasses even the heavenly realm by a thousandfold or more."
「 zhǐ shì xiān líng zhī lì de wài zài biǎo xiàn mò míng xiāo shī le 。 zhè jù shēn tǐ …… yì huò zhě pí lǐ ， yī rán yǒu xiān líng zhī lì de cún zài 。」 wēi wēi gǎn yìng tǐ nèi ， lǐ fán dé chū le rú cǐ jié lùn 。
「只是仙灵之力的外在表现莫名消失了。这具身体……亦或者皮里，依然有仙灵之力的存在。」微微感应体内，李凡得出了如此结论。
Even on his second encounter, Li Fan still felt a slight daze.
zài cì cháng shì 。
再次尝试。
"The divine essence originates from this place. No wonder it has the nature of 'infinity'."
zhè cì ， lǐ fán bù zài mǎn zú yú ， zhǐ yòng xiān líng zhī lì biàn huà chū yí gè diǎn 。
这次，李凡不再满足于，只用仙灵之力变化出一个点。
As he wandered through the infinite ocean, Li Fan thought about the star sea.
ér shì cháng shì yòng xiān líng zhī lì gòu jiàn yí gè xiān zhèn 。
而是尝试用仙灵之力构建一个仙阵。
Although the energy level of the star sea's power was lower than that of the divine spirit, it too possessed the nature of "infinity".
dāng rán ， wèi le fáng zhǐ shuò xīng hǎi fāng miàn de chá jué ， lǐ fán yě méi yǒu dǎ suàn nòng chū tài dà de dòng jìng 。 zhǐ shì yòng lái kuī tàn jiě xī yī qiè de 【 wú liàng 、 hóng méng jiàn fāng 】 zhèn 。
当然，为了防止朔星海方面的察觉，李凡也没有打算弄出太大的动静。只是用来窥探解析一切的【无量、鸿蒙见方】阵。
"Does this mean the origin of the star sea's energy also comes from here?"
gēn xiān liè jiě lí dié suǒ bù zhèn fǎ ， bìng wú chā bié 。 shèn zhì lǐ fán hái chǎn shēng le gèng wéi qiáng liè de rú bì zhǐ shǐ zhī gǎn 。 bìng bù xū yào jiě lí dié cóng zhōng zhuǎn huà yī cì ， hóng méng jiàn fāng zhèn suǒ jiē chù 、 jiě xī de zhǒng zhǒng xìn xī ， zhí jiē zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng fú xiàn 。
跟仙列解离碟所布阵法，并无差别。甚至李凡还产生了更为强烈的如臂指使之感。并不需要解离碟从中转化一次，鸿蒙见方阵所接触、解析的种种信息，直接在李凡脑海中浮现。
Suddenly, a critical question came to mind.
jiù hǎo sì lǐ fán zì jǐ sī suǒ suǒ de 。
就好似李凡自己思索所得。
Was the infinite nature of the star sea something that had existed since ancient times? Or did it come into being after the destruction of the heavenly realm?
lǐ fán kàn xiàng fǔ dǐ wài de chéng zhōng 。 cǐ kè shuāng yǎn suǒ jiàn ， nǎ yǒu shén me fán huá de jí lè zhī chéng 。 bù guò shì yī dào zhèng zài jí sù zì xuán de jù dà xuán wō bà le 。
李凡看向府邸外的城中。此刻双眼所见，哪有什么繁华的极乐之城。不过是一道正在极速自旋的巨大漩涡罢了。
Li Fan gazed at the boundless ocean for a long time in silence.
wú shù xīng xīng diǎn diǎn de yì niàn ， zài zhè xuán wō zhōng piāo fú 、 fēi xuán 、 chén diàn 。
无数星星点点的意念，在这漩涡中漂浮、飞旋、沉淀。
Recalling the appearance of the heavenly realm as seen through the memories of an Immortal, he felt a vague sense of understanding.
ǒu yǒu shǎo xǔ ， zài yùn zhuàn zhōng hū de fā chū bié yàng de lán sè guāng máng 。 ér hòu jìng kě wú shì xuán wō zì shēn de lì liàng ， zì shàng fāng biān yuán ， huǎn huǎn chén rù zuì dǐ bù 。
偶有少许，在运转中忽的发出别样的蓝色光芒。而后竟可无视漩涡自身的力量，自上方边缘，缓缓沉入最底部。
"Perhaps 'infinity' is a characteristic unique to the heavenly realm."
lǐ fán gèng shì yǐn yǐn kàn dào ， yī tiáo wǎn ruò bǔ shí zhě de jù dà yīn yǐng ， jiù qián fú zài zhè lǐ 。 dài dào shàng fāng de lán sè guāng diǎn kào jìn hòu ， jiù měng dì jiāng qí tūn rù zì jǐ fù zhōng 。
李凡更是隐隐看到，一条宛若捕食者的巨大阴影，就潜伏在这里。待到上方的蓝色光点靠近后，就猛地将其吞入自己腹中。
"Only because of the destruction of the heavenly realm did this characteristic spread to the lower star sea."
sì hū shì chá jué le lǐ fán kuī tàn de mù guāng ， nà bǔ shí zhě yīn yǐng ， cháo zhe lǐ fán suǒ zài ， huǎn huǎn zhuǎn guò tóu lái 。 yīn yǐng bō dòng ， sì hū fā chū le yī zhèn yì wèi shēn cháng de xiào róng 。
似乎是察觉了李凡窥探的目光，那捕食者阴影，朝着李凡所在，缓缓转过头来。阴影波动，似乎发出了一阵意味深长的笑容。
"Professor Zhi once said that the heavenly paradise was even more blissful than the Joyful City. This must be due to the infinite nature. There would no longer be any need to worry about energy consumption, and all one had to do was enjoy themselves. If not for the sudden arrival of the Great Void Annihilation disaster, perhaps the heavenly realm could have continued its eternal 'bliss'."
wéi chí yùn zhuàn hóng méng jiàn fāng dà zhèn de tóng shí ， lǐ fán yě bù wàng zài xīn zhōng mò mò jì suàn zhe shí jiān 。 guǒ rán ， jiǔ shí jiǔ xī yī dào ， xiān líng zhī lì suǒ gòu zhù de dà zhèn ， rú bīng xuě xiāo róng 、 qǐng kè jiān xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
维持运转鸿蒙见方大阵的同时，李凡也不忘在心中默默计算着时间。果然，九十九息一到，仙灵之力所构筑的大阵，如冰雪消融、顷刻间消失不见。
Since achieving the Primordial Core with the Five Elements Grand Caverns, Li Fan had deeply understood the benefits of endless energy supply without having to worry about consumption issues.
ér lǐ fán tǐ nèi gēn xiān zhèn de lián xì tōng lù ， yě fǎng fú bèi dǔ zhù le yì bān 。 wú fǎ zài tí gōng zhī yuán 。
而李凡体内跟仙阵的联系通路，也仿佛被堵住了一般。无法再提供支援。
"Perhaps this is one of the most crucial differences between heaven and earth."
zhǐ néng rèn yóu xiān zhèn xiāo sàn 。
只能任由仙阵消散。
"Infinite energy supply, no longer needing to consider consumption. Any spell or divine technique could be infinitely amplified in destructive power..."
lǐ fán suǒ jiàn xuán wō jǐng xiàng ， yě suí zhī xiāo shī 。
李凡所见漩涡景象，也随之消失。
Even a common punch from an ordinary human, if repeatedly struck against the Vast Yellow land, would have no impact on the world.
「 nà dào jìn shí yīn yǐng ……」
「那道进食阴影……」
"But once that weak force is multiplied by infinity, its power becomes unimaginable."
「 shì zhù xué shì méi cuò le 。」
「是祝学士没错了。」
The disappearance of the divine spirit temporarily interrupted Li Fan's thoughts. The difference between heavenly and earthly powers brought a faint sense of loss to his heart.
「 kàn lái ， tiāo xuǎn hé shì mù biāo de zhòng shēng yì niàn ， shì zài jí lè chéng de yùn zhuàn zhī zhōng 、 tóng bù jìn xíng de 。」
「看来，挑选合适目标的众生意念，是在极乐城的运转之中、同步进行的。」
While waiting for the restriction to disappear, another question suddenly came to mind.
「 sān nián yī qī de jí lè dà diǎn ， nà xiē yì niàn guǒ shí ， gèng xiàng shì gè huǎng zi 。」 lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn míng wù 。
「三年一期的极乐大典，那些意念果实，更像是个幌子。」李凡心中隐隐明悟。
"Indeed, infinity is beautiful. But what is the price?"
suī rán tā yǐ jīng gēn zhè wèi céng jīng de wú míng zhēn xiān ， dá chéng le mǒu zhǒng hé zuò jiāo yì 。 dàn shuāng fāng zhī jiān ， què shì háo wú xìn rèn kě yán 。
虽然他已经跟这位曾经的无名真仙，达成了某种合作交易。但双方之间，却是毫无信任可言。
The existence of infinite power contradicted Li Fan's original understanding in some way.
zhù xué shì bù guò shì zài lǐ fán zhǎn xiàn le mǒu zhǒng qián lì zhī hòu ， jìn xíng le sǐ mǎ dāng huó mǎ yī de tóu zī 。 tā bù zài hū lǐ fán jiū jìng shì shén me shēn fèn 、 bèi jǐng ， néng gòu qiāo wú shēng xī de qián rù jìn jí lè chéng ， bìng tōu liáng huàn zhù 、 qǔ dài le mǎ tiān dé 。 tā yě bù zài hū lǐ fán de mù dì shì shén me 。
祝学士不过是在李凡展现了某种潜力之后，进行了死马当活马医的投资。他不在乎李凡究竟是什么身份、背景，能够悄无声息的潜入进极乐城，并偷梁换柱、取代了马天得。他也不在乎李凡的目的是什么。
He could understand the strength of divine essence, but he could not comprehend its infinite nature no matter how hard he tried.
zhǐ yào néng bāng zhù tā cóng dào wǎng zhōng tuō kùn ， zhù xué shì jiù yuàn yì tí gōng zhī chí 。
只要能帮助他从道网中脱困，祝学士就愿意提供支持。
"What exactly is that boundless ocean?"
「 shèn zhì ， kǒng pà tā yě bú shì zhēn de zhǐ wàng wǒ néng bāng tā tuō kùn 。 zhǐ yào wǒ néng hùn rù xiān shòu zhī zhōng ， gěi zhì shì huì yǐ jí dào wǎng dài lái diǎn má fán 、 biàn shù ， wèi tā zēng jiā diǎn táo tuō de kě néng 。 zhè bǐ jiāo yì ， jiù shì huá suàn de ……」
「甚至，恐怕他也不是真的指望我能帮他脱困。只要我能混入仙狩之中，给治事会以及道网带来点麻烦、变数，为他增加点逃脱的可能。这笔交易，就是划算的……」
"It seems to be a beautiful thing only existing in imagination..."
lǐ fán zhèng zài sī suǒ de shí hòu ， hū de ， cóng zhè jù shēn qū lǐ ， shēng chū yī gǔ pái chì zhī gǎn 。
李凡正在思索的时候，忽的，从这具身躯里，生出一股排斥之感。
"Is there really no negative effects?"
「 gǔn chū qù ！ gěi wǒ gǔn chū qù ！」
「滚出去！给我滚出去！」
The natural worry vanished after re-contacting with the divine spirit's infinity.
「 gǔn gǔn gǔn gǔn gǔn ！」
「滚滚滚滚滚！」
Knowing the predetermined end of the world was even worse than anything else.
「 lóu yǐ ！ qǐ gǎn xiè dú ！」
「蝼蚁！岂敢亵渎！」
Li Fan focused solely on researching the divine skin and divine essence. Time passed quickly.
……
……
This time, wearing the divine skin lasted just as long as the first attempt—exactly the same.
pái chì gǎn yù fā qiáng liè ， huí xiǎng zài lǐ fán ěr biān de shēng yīn ， yě yuè lái yuè qiáng 。 rú jīng léi zhèn zhèn ， ràng rén nán yǐ rěn shòu 。 ér qiě ， hái shì lǐ fán zì jǐ de shēng yīn 。
排斥感愈发强烈，回响在李凡耳边的声音，也越来越强。如惊雷震震，让人难以忍受。而且，还是李凡自己的声音。
But Li Fan did not immediately draw a conclusion.
zì jǐ duì zì jǐ nù hǒu ， gèng xiǎn de pǒ wèi guài yì 。
自己对自己怒吼，更显得颇为怪异。
After waiting for the cooldown period to pass, he continued wearing the divine skin, repeating this process over and over again.
zuì zhōng ， lǐ fán bèi pò cóng nà zhāng xiān pí zhōng tuō lí chū
最终，李凡被迫从那张仙皮中脱离出
Three years flashed by in an instant.
lái 。
来。
Li Fan finally confirmed that each time the divine skin could be used was fixed and would not increase with 'proficiency'.
huí fù le yuán běn de shēn qū ， lǐ fán zǐ xì dǎ liàng zhuó shǒu zhōng de zhì bǎo 。
回复了原本的身躯，李凡仔细打量着手中的至宝。
However, during these three years of research, Li Fan did gain some insights.
néng gòu ràng fán rén ， shùn jiān zhǎng wò néng gòu gēn yī zūn zhēn xiān xiāng pì měi de lì liàng 。 chēng hū zhè céng rén pí wèi zhì bǎo ， yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò 。
能够让凡人，瞬间掌握能够跟一尊真仙相媲美的力量。称呼这层人皮为至宝，一点也不为过。
The divine essence in his fingertips flared up like a flame once more.
「 gēn jù dài shàng xiān pí hòu ， nǎo hǎi zhōng fú xiàn de nà xiē huà miàn kě zhī 。 zhè céng pí de zhǔ rén ， yuán běn de xiū wèi yīng gāi yǐ jīng kuài yào jiē jìn wú míng zhī jìng le 。」
「根据带上仙皮后，脑海中浮现的那些画面可知。这层皮的主人，原本的修为应该已经快要接近无名之境了。」
This time, he felt a strange sense of familiarity when looking at the divine essence within "himself".
「 zhǐ bù guò méi děng dào shēn hé dà dào ， huǐ miè yī qiè de dào yān zhī jié jiù yǐ jīng jiàng lín 。」
「只不过没等到身合大道，毁灭一切的道湮之劫就已经降临。」
It seemed to be part of his own body.
「 xiān jiè pò miè ， zhēn xiān nǎi zhì wú míng zhēn xiān ， dōu fēn fēn zài jié nàn zhōng sǐ qù 。 dào xiǎn dào shēng ， dào miè dào xiāo 。 cǐ kāi tiān pì dì yǔ mò shì bìng cún de huà miàn ， jìng shǐ de zhè wèi hū de suǒ gǎn 。 zhí jiē tà chū le zuì hòu yī bù ！」
「仙界破灭，真仙乃至无名真仙，都纷纷在劫难中死去。道显道生，道灭道消。此开天辟地与末世并存的画面，竟使得这位忽的所感。直接踏出了最后一步！」
This 'body' referred not to the divine skin or Ma Tian De, but to the core that controlled all thoughts and actions—the divine consciousness reflecting the Dao.
「 zhǐ kě xī tā tū pò de tài bú shì shí hòu 。 běn lái ， nà piàn xiān yù hái néng miǎn qiǎng zài zhī chēng zhī xià 。 tā zhè me yī zhèng dào ， jiù xiāng dāng yú zhí jiē chōu zǒu le yī gēn guān jiàn shí kè 、 zuì wèi zhòng yào de chéng shòu zhù ……」
「只可惜他突破的太不是时候。本来，那片仙域还能勉强再支撑之下。他这么一证道，就相当于直接抽走了一根关键时刻、最为重要的承受柱……」
"Because of the destruction of the heavenly realm, I could not receive divine essence to nourish my body, which is why I am stuck at the semi-divine stage."
「 shà shí jiān ， tiān tā dì xiàn 、 dà dào qīng yà 。」
「霎时间，天塌地陷、大道倾轧。」
"The remaining divine essence in this world seems to have specifichome identifier. It cannot be stolen."
……
……
"Only by going through the process of ascending to immortality in the Vast Yellow realm can one remove these identifiers to some extent. The infinite divine essence on the Immortal Disentanglement Disc comes from there."
hòu miàn de jì yì ， jiù biàn dé mó hú shèn zhì yǒu xiē fēng diān qǐ lái 。
后面的记忆，就变得模糊甚至有些疯癫起来。
"But divine artifacts cannot be used on true immortals."
bù tóng shí duàn 、 nǎi zhì qián hòu máo dùn de jì yì dōu tóng shí chéng xiàn 。 lǐ fán zhǐ néng miǎn qiǎng tuī duàn chū ， zhè zūn wú míng zhēn xiān ， suī rán dāng shí táo guò le jié nàn 。 dàn zuì zhōng hái shì bèi rén zhuō zhù ， bèi dīng rù dào wǎng zhī zhōng 、 chōng dāng le lián jiē dà dào de guān jiàn jié diǎn 。
不同时段、乃至前后矛盾的记忆都同时呈现。李凡只能勉强推断出，这尊无名真仙，虽然当时逃过了劫难。但最终还是被人捉住，被钉入道网之中、充当了连接大道的关键节点。
Li Fan's thoughts flickered, and the divine essence surged throughout his body like a tide.
「 gēn zhù xué shì bù tóng 。」
「跟祝学士不同。」
It seemed to form a small miniature boundless ocean.
「 zhè zūn wú míng ， shì zhēn de yǐ jīng yǔn luò le 。」
「这尊无名，是真的已经陨落了。」
The owner of this miniature boundless ocean was that nameless Immortal who had become part of the Dao Network.
「 ér tā de shēn sǐ zhī rì ， jiù shì dào wǎng jiàn chéng zhī shí 。」
「而他的身死之日，就是道网建成之时。」
But now...
「 suǒ hé dà dào ， bìng wèi lái de jí fù fǎn tiān dì ， ér shì bèi mǒu zhǒng xuán qí de lì liàng suǒ bǔ zhuō 、 lì yòng 。 zuò wéi dào wǎng zuì wěn gù de jǐ gè jié diǎn ér cún zài ……」
「所合大道，并未来得及复返天地，而是被某种玄奇的力量所捕捉、利用。作为道网最稳固的几个节点而存在……」
This miniature boundless ocean gradually bore Li Fan's mark.
lǐ fán shì tú cóng zhī lí pò suì de jì yì zhōng ， huán yuán dāng shí de chǎng jǐng 。
李凡试图从支离破碎的记忆中，还原当时的场景。
"Still some distance from complete transformation."
dào wǎng kāi pì ， nà shì hé děng zhuàng lì de shì jiàn 。
道网开辟，那是何等壮丽的事件。
"Just a few more marks on me."
rán ér què shì bàn suí zhe ， wú míng zhēn xiān chōng mǎn yuàn hèn de zǔ zhòu 。
然而却是伴随着，无名真仙充满怨恨的诅咒。
"But I have only been familiar with it for three years. If given more time..."
「 shì zhè céng xiān pí de zhǔ rén zhè yàng ， bèi yòng lái huó jì 、 jiàn zào dào wǎng de wú míng zhēn xiān ……」
「似这层仙皮的主人这样，被用来活祭、建造道网的无名真仙……」
Li Fan's eyes sparkled as the divine essence, constrained by the divine skin, vanished instantly.
「 hái yǒu sān míng ！」
「还有三名！」
"Could the divine essence be inherited too?"
「 yī gòng sì dà jié diǎn ， zài jiā shàng nà zhǐ wú xíng de jù shǒu ， cái yú zuì chū jiāng dào wǎng wěn gù xià lái 。」
「一共四大节点，再加上那只无形的巨手，才于最初将道网稳固下来。」
The divine essence originated from an unknowable boundless ocean.
lǐ fán shēn xī le yì kǒu qì 。
李凡深吸了一口气。
But that infinite sea could not be touched or utilized by individuals.
jí biàn sǐ hòu ， suǒ liú xià de yī céng pí ， dōu néng shǐ de fán sú shà shí yōng yǒu zhēn xiān zhī néng 。 shèn zhì xiān pí lǐ ， hái yǒu yì niàn 、 jì yì liú cún 。 zú yǐ zhāng xiǎn xiān pí zhǔ rén de qiáng dà 。
即便死后，所留下的一层皮，都能使得凡俗霎时拥有真仙之能。甚至仙皮里，还有意念、记忆留存。足以彰显仙皮主人的强大。
Not even true immortals could do so.
dàn jiù shì zhè yàng de qiáng zhě ， què shì cán kù wú bǐ de chéng wéi le dào wǎng shēng zhuāng de yuán cái liào 。 sǐ hòu shèn zhì lián xìng míng 、 shēng píng shì jì děng ， dōu méi yǒu liú xià 。
但就是这样的强者，却是残酷无比的成为了道网生桩的原材料。死后甚至连姓名、生平事迹等，都没有留下。
"The process of receiving divine essence on the Ascension Platform should have been key to allowing individuals to connect with the boundless ocean."
「 wú míng lóu yǐ sǐ 。」
「无名蝼蚁死。」
"If each true immortal must have a unique identifier to access this infinite power, then mastering these unique identifiers might allow one to control the divine essence."
「 dà jié miàn qián ， wú fǎ yōng yǒu zhǔ dǎo zhī shì zhě ， gēn fán rén yě jī hū méi shén me le qū bié 。」 lǐ fán xīn zhōng wēi tàn 。
「大劫面前，无法拥有主导之势者，跟凡人也几乎没什么了区别。」李凡心中微叹。
Li Fan suddenly realized that there were some similarities between the boundless ocean and the Dao Network.
jīng lì le yī lún de fù shēn zhī hòu ， xiān pí míng xiǎn biàn dé báo le yī xiē 。 hái chéng xiàn chū guǐ yì de cāng bái zhī sè 。 zhè yě shì tā jiāng lǐ fán qiáng xíng qū zhú de yuán yīn 。
经历了一轮的附身之后，仙皮明显变得薄了一些。还呈现出诡异的苍白之色。这也是它将李凡强行驱逐的原因。
Just like the miniature boundless ocean appearing on his body was similar to the miniature Dao Network reflected in his divine consciousness.
The essence of the divine spirit, once again enveloping him, seemed to bring back that boundless ocean.
"Indeed, the heavenly realm is vast and boundless."
"The expanse here surpasses even the heavenly realm by a thousandfold or more."
Even on his second encounter, Li Fan still felt a slight daze.
"The divine essence originates from this place. No wonder it has the nature of 'infinity'."
