dù shì xuán guān zhōng , yín chàng zhī shēng yuè lái yuè jí cù 。
渡世玄棺中,吟唱之声越来越急促。
In the void, the struggle within the World-Saving Blackwood Coffin did not subside; instead, it seemed to intensify. Money Rongchang appeared to be at a disadvantage despite the combined efforts of everyone. Just as despair began to settle in among the crowd, a sword light emerged from the darkness on the horizon, rapidly approaching.
yī gǔ piāo miǎo chū chén de qì xī , yě zhú jiàn lǒng zhào xuán guān 。
一股缥缈出尘的气息,也逐渐笼罩玄棺。
This was Jing Changyu's graceful figure. Behind her, faintly visible through the dimness, was a shimmering white string, which seemed to carry the weight of the world despite its thinness. Despite this, Jing Changyu’s flight speed did not slow down at all, indicating her formidable strength.
guān gài suǒ liú xià de quē kǒu , yuè lái yuè xiǎo 。 sì hū xuán guān nèi de qián ruò cháng , dàng zhēn yào xiào fǎng zhī qián de xī yí èr xiān , dù shì dùn zǒu !
棺盖所留下的缺口,越来越小。似乎玄棺内的钱若常,当真要效仿之前的希夷二仙,渡世遁走!
As Jing Changyu grew closer and the connection with the network became imminent, something strange happened. Her flight speed suddenly slowed down significantly, and the crowd could see that Jing Changyu's three-layered eyes were constantly blinking.
tóng yàng bèi xuán guān suǒ gǔ 、 xiǎng yào chèn jī fēi rù guān zhōng de xīn jìn xiān shòu men , què měng rán jiān fā xiàn zì shēn bèi dào wǎng suǒ shù fù 、 dòng tán bù dé 。 zhǐ néng mò mò kàn zhe chǎng zhōng shì tài sì hū cháo zhe shī kòng de fāng xiàng fā zhǎn 。
同样被玄棺所蛊、想要趁机飞入棺中的新晋仙狩们,却猛然间发现自身被道网所束缚、动弹不得。只能默默看着场中事态似乎朝着失控的方向发展。
"Jing Changyu must be reaching her limit; we need to go and assist her!" exclaimed the crowd in alarm.
zhòng rén xīn huāng mò míng zhī jì , hái shì dào yuān dì yí gè zhàn chū lái wěn dìng qíng xù :“ bú yào huāng , xiāng xìn qián lǎo dà !”
众人心慌莫名之际,还是道渊第一个站出来稳定情绪:“不要慌,相信钱老大!”
Most of the new apprentice Immortals stayed behind, struggling to maintain the network. Qian Yuming led a team of three to meet Jing Changyu and the critical string that held their lives in balance.
rán ér shì shí shì , chú le xuǎn zé xiāng xìn zhī wài , zhòng rén bié wú tā fǎ 。
然而事实是,除了选择相信之外,众人别无他法。
Jing Changyu seemed to have exhausted all her strength; she slowed down further until she completely stopped, as if falling into a deep sleep!
dàn tā men de xìn rèn , sì hū bìng méi yǒu yòng 。
但他们的信任,似乎并没有用。
Qian Yuming, seeing this, accelerated his approach with urgency. However, before he could reach Jing Changyu, the four Immortal Hunters who were sent to assist also gradually slowed down and eventually fell asleep just like Jing Changyu.
fēng guān de sù dù shí fēn wěn dìng , zài zhòng rén jué wàng de zhù shì xià , zuì zhōng wán quán bì hé 。
封棺的速度十分稳定,在众人绝望的注视下,最终完全闭合。
The remaining new apprentice Immortals paused in their command rhythm. Although they did not know what had happened, a sense of foreboding filled their hearts.
xuán guān gèng shì zài shà shí jiān , bào fā chū mí lí xuàn mù dì qī cǎi zhī guāng !
玄棺更是在霎时间,爆发出迷离炫目的七彩之光!
Before they could speak, an inexplicable force enveloped them, as if all the accumulated fatigue from birth to this moment was suddenly released. Many fell into a deep sleep instantly.
dàn ……
但……
Even Qian Yuming, one of the outstanding ones like Nan Gong Hongzhao, succumbed to the overwhelming drowsiness and soon fell asleep, drifting into a dreamland.
zhòng rén yù xiǎng zhōng de , xuán guān dùn shì ér zǒu de huà miàn què bìng méi yǒu fā shēng 。
众人预想中的,玄棺遁世而走的画面却并没有发生。
The "Ma Tiande"附身 entity of Li Fan also fell asleep in the same manner.
ér shì yín chàng zhī shēng , jiá rán ér zhǐ 。
而是吟唱之声,戛然而止。
Apart from the violently trembling World-Saving Blackwood Coffin, there was no movement in the entire starry sky. The new apprentice Immortals slept soundly while the struggle within the coffin did not seem to have a clear outcome.
qī cǎi guāng huá gèng shì xiàng níng gù le yì bān , tíng zhì bù dòng 。
七彩光华更是像凝固了一般,停滞不动。
Days turned into weeks; when thirty days had passed, the person inside the coffin seemed to sense possible changes outside or finally reached a conclusion.
yān miè dì zhōng de zhè chù shēng jī dì , qǐng kè jiān xiàn rù le guǐ yì de sǐ jì zhī zhōng 。
湮灭地中的这处生机地,顷刻间陷入了诡异的死寂之中。
The sounds of the struggle gradually subsided but no one emerged from the coffin. The World-Saving Blackwood Coffin remained floating in the void.
zài rán ér , zé shì nà dù shì xuán guān , měng dì jù liè tiào dòng le yī xià 。
再然而,则是那渡世玄棺,猛地剧烈跳动了一下。
---
pēng ! pēng ! pēng !
砰!砰!砰!
In the Yellow-White Realm, Li Fan observed the floating coffin through his dream power. He had carefully considered this intervention and was prepared to flee if discovered. Whether the target Immortal Hunter, "Wuxian," was actually He Ganxian or not, it held value for Li Fan's plans.
ér hòu dòng jìng yuè lái yuè dà , měi yī shēng jù chàn , dōu hǎo sì zài zhòng rén xīn dǐ xiǎng qǐ 。 jiù xiàng qí nèi yǒu yī zhī měng shòu bèi kùn 、 zhèng jié lì táo tuō yì bān !
而后动静越来越大,每一声巨颤,都好似在众人心底响起。就像其内有一只猛兽被困、正竭力逃脱一般!
Having infiltrated the Shuixinghai region, he had a basic understanding of its various forces. However, regarding the opposing True Immortals, he remained in complete ignorance.
zhòng rén zhèng yǒu xiē bù zhī suǒ cuò , què hū de fā xiàn , dào wǎng de shù fù yǐ jīng qiǎo rán jiān jiě kāi 。
众人正有些不知所措,却忽的发现,道网的束缚已经悄然间解开。
Apart from lacking Immortal Essence Qi within his body, Li Fan was essentially no different from an "Immortal." He could be considered part of the same camp.
bìng fēi shì shén me rén yǒu yì wèi zhī 。 ér shì cǐ kè jú yù dào wǎng nèi jué dà duō shù de lì liàng , yǐ jīng quán dōu bèi diào yòng 。 shèn zhì lián fēn chū jìn gù tā men de nà yī fēn dōu zuò bú dào le 。
并非是什么人有意为之。而是此刻局域道网内绝大多数的力量,已经全都被调用。甚至连分出禁锢他们的那一分都做不到了。
Rescuing this Wuxian and learning something from him would undoubtedly benefit Li Fan's plans. However, instead of directly confronting it, he silently observed the changes inside the coffin, patient as a hunter waiting for prey to strike.
“ zhè shì …… wú xiān yǐ rù guǎn , qián lǎo dà zhèng zài gēn tā guān zhōng tiē shēn xiāng dòu ?” jìn zhǎng yuè dì yí gè fǎn yìng guò lái , shī shēng jīng hū 。
“这是……无仙已入馆,钱老大正在跟他棺中贴身相斗?”靳长月第一个反应过来,失声惊呼。
The silence within the coffin lasted seven days. Sensing no external changes, the person inside seemed restless.
“ wǒ men jū rán yì diǎn dōu méi néng fā xiàn tā xíng zǒu de jì xiàng ? zhè lǐ kě shì chù zài jú yù dào wǎng de lǒng zhào xià !”
“我们居然一点都没能发现他行走的迹象?这里可是处在局域道网的笼罩下!”
Sacred chants resounded again, indicating an intention to escape regardless of what was happening outside.
“ zāo gāo , qián lǎo dà zì jǐ yí gè rén dú miàn wú xiān , bú huì yǒu wēi xiǎn ba ?”
“糟糕,钱老大自己一个人独面无仙,不会有危险吧?”
But these chants did not last long; suddenly, another ethereal whisper echoed through the void, with a tone completely different from the chants. This caused subtle changes in the chants within the coffin.
zhòng rén suí jí miàn miàn xiāng qù 。
众人随即面面相觑。
The seven-color light also seemed disturbed and flickered continuously but could not coalesce into one.
jì shì xīn jīng yú zhè wèi wú xiān mò cè de shí lì , yě shì wèi qián ruò cháng de jìng yù gǎn dào dān yōu 。
既是心惊于这位无仙莫测的实力,也是为钱若常的境遇感到担忧。
Undeterred, the person inside tried again. The colored light surged after a brief pause, even increasing the volume of the chants by two times.
dàn què wú kě nài hé 。
但却无可奈何。
However, as the saying goes, "the higher the Tao, the greater the demon," the illusory sounds from the dreamland amplified by dozens of times, silencing the chants completely.
zòng shǐ chū fā qián yǒu háo qíng wàn qiān zhǒng , cǐ kè zhēn de yù shàng le zhēn xiān zhī dòu , tā men cái qīng xī de rèn zhī dào 、 bù jiè zhù dào wǎng zhī lì , zhè zhǒng céng miàn de zhàn dòu , gēn běn bú shì tā men néng gòu chā shǒu de 。
纵使出发前有豪情万千种,此刻真的遇上了真仙之斗,他们才清晰的认知到、不借助道网之力,这种层面的战斗,根本不是他们能够插手的。
The seven-color light retreated into the coffin, leaving no further activity. After completing its disruption, the whispers vanished like they had come.
kuàng qiě , cǐ kè xuán guān yǐ jīng bèi fēng sǐ 。 bù zhī dào kāi qǐ zhī fǎ , jiù suàn tā men yǒu xīn cān yù zhàn dòu , yě shì bù dé qí mén ér rù 。
况且,此刻玄棺已经被封死。不知道开启之法,就算他们有心参与战斗,也是不得其门而入。
Once again, only a single World-Saving Blackwood Coffin and the sleeping new apprentice Immortals remained in this void.
“ zhè wú xiān xíng shì rú cǐ guǐ mì , qián lǎo dà zhǐ néng yǐ shēn wèi ěr , yǐ xuán guān jí jiāng bì hé 、 dùn shì ér zǒu zhī shì , bī qí xiàn shēn 。 guān gài fēng bì , wú xiān jiù suàn zài zěn me néng táo , yě shì shàng tiān wú lù 、 rù dì wú mén 。 suǒ yǐ , wǒ men yào zuò de ……”
“这无仙行事如此诡秘,钱老大只能以身为饵,以玄棺即将闭合、遁世而走之事,逼其现身。棺盖封闭,无仙就算再怎么能逃,也是上天无路、入地无门。所以,我们要做的……”
Li Fan personally wove them a beautiful dream, taking precautions inspired by the local network. This dream was independent of the Yellow-White Realm's dreamland, allowing it to be discarded at any time if necessary. With the barrier blocking it, no trace would remain.
yī fān sī cǔn zhī hòu , zhòng rén hěn kuài quán dōu fǎn yìng guò lái 。
一番思忖之后,众人很快全都反应过来。
By gathering all the dream forces from outside this period and adding the demonic sounds from the Huaxia clan’s bloodline memory, he could disrupt the World-Saving Blackwood Coffin's travel.
“ kuài ! jiāng zhè jù guān cái , yùn huí xiān shòu zǒng bù !”
“快!将这具棺材,运回仙狩总部!”
Previously, Li Fan had used the Great Mage’s避祸玄音to neutralize the effects of the Xuanwang demon sound. When he heard the chants in the coffin sounded similar to the避祸玄音, this idea came to mind.
jí biàn yǒu zhe zhěng gè jú yù dào wǎng de zhèn yā , zhè běn shì yòu ěr 、 xiàn rú jīn shì láo lóng de xuán guān , yě zhèn chàn de yù fā qiáng liè 。
即便有着整个局域道网的镇压,这本是诱饵、现如今是牢笼的玄棺,也震颤的愈发强烈。
This practice proved successful.
zhòng rén gé zhe lǎo yuǎn , yě shì gǎn dào wú bǐ de xīn jīng ròu tiào 。
众人隔着老远,也是感到无比的心惊肉跳。
"Seems like these two cosmic sounds are somewhat opposed," Li Fan thought.
shēng pà bèi kùn qí zhōng de wú xiān , xià yī kè jiù yào tuō kùn ér chū 。
生怕被困其中的无仙,下一刻就要脱困而出。
The World-Saving Blackwood Coffin was trapped here, and the Shuixinghai Immortal Hunters did not ignore it. It was clear that the Immortal Hunter headquarters knew about Money Rongchang's plan to some extent and had sent people to search for the missing coffin and the Immortal Hunters at the network’s edge.
“ cǐ dì jù lí shuò xīng hǎi xiāng jù shèn yuǎn , yòng xún cháng fēi dùn zhī shù gǎn guò qù , kěn dìng lái bù jí 。 wěn gù jú yù dào wǎng , chóng xīn jiàn lì gēn shuò xīng hǎi dào wǎng de lián jiē !” zhòng rén hěn kuài dá chéng le yí zhì 。
“此地距离朔星海相距甚远,用寻常飞遁之术赶过去,肯定来不及。稳固局域道网,重新建立跟朔星海道网的连接!”众人很快达成了一致。
However, to deceive Wuxian, Money Rongchang did not reveal too much information. The Annihilation Grounds were still a source of danger and unknown to Shuixinghai.
jí xùn le zhè me jiǔ , dào dǐ hái shì yǒu diǎn mò qì de 。
集训了这么久,到底还是有点默契的。
With Li Fan having already severed the dream string, they would take some time before finding their way in.
wú xū yǒu rén zhǐ huī , yī dào dào zhǐ lìng fēi chū , jiāng zài zhēn xiān zhī zhàn zhōng jí jí kě wēi de jú yù dào wǎng , màn màn chóng xīn biàn dé wěn dìng xià lái 。
无需有人指挥,一道道指令飞出,将在真仙之战中岌岌可危的局域道网,慢慢重新变得稳定下来。
"See how long you can hold out."
xià yī bù , jiù shì jiāng jú yù dào wǎng zài dù jiē rù zhǔ dào wǎng zhī zhōng 。
下一步,就是将局域道网再度接入主道网之中。
For capturing Wuxian, this coffin must have been tampered with; it could only be opened from the outside. Unless one's strength was strong enough to shatter the coffin, there was no way to escape from the sealed coffin.
zhī qián zuò wéi èr zhě lián xì de nà gēn dào xián , suī bèi zhǎn duàn 。 dàn cǐ dì jù lí dào wǎng biān jiè , bìng bù suàn tài guò yáo yuǎn 。 zhǐ xū yī rén , jí sù fēi dùn gǎn qù , chōng dāng méi jiè 。 jiù kě shùn lì jiàn lì qǐ lián jiē 。
之前作为二者联系的那根道弦,虽被斩断。但此地距离道网边界,并不算太过遥远。只需一人,极速飞遁赶去,充当媒介。就可顺利建立起连接。
This was Money Rongchang’s perfect hunting technique, but now it became Li Fan's leverage for daring to intervene.
In the void, the struggle within the World-Saving Blackwood Coffin did not subside; instead, it seemed to intensify. Money Rongchang appeared to be at a disadvantage despite the combined efforts of everyone. Just as despair began to settle in among the crowd, a sword light emerged from the darkness on the horizon, rapidly approaching.
This was Jing Changyu's graceful figure. Behind her, faintly visible through the dimness, was a shimmering white string, which seemed to carry the weight of the world despite its thinness. Despite this, Jing Changyu’s flight speed did not slow down at all, indicating her formidable strength.
As Jing Changyu grew closer and the connection with the network became imminent, something strange happened. Her flight speed suddenly slowed down significantly, and the crowd could see that Jing Changyu's three-layered eyes were constantly blinking.
