yī méi xiǎo xiǎo qí zi ， què kě yǎn huà chéng yī fāng xiān yù suì piàn 。
一枚小小棋子，却可衍化成一方仙域碎片。
A puppet-like entity named "Non-Existent" was sent into the Void of Yellow and Black to explore.
jiū qí gēn běn ， shì yīn wèi suǒ wèi de qí zi ， shí zé shì wú shù zhēn xiān zhuàn zì dié jiā 。 zhēn xiān zhuàn zì ， běn jiù shì zhēn xiān men duì dà dào quán shì de fāng fǎ zhī yī 。
究其根本，是因为所谓的棋子，实则是无数真仙篆字叠加。真仙篆字，本就是真仙们对大道诠释的方法之一。

céng jīng ， xuán xiān zhōu zài dé dào yī méi xiān yù qí zi hòu ， jiù jiāng qí huà xíng wèi xiān zhōu wài zài zhuāng jiǎ 。 ér cǐ kè ， lǐ fán bù duàn cuī dòng zhī xià ， zhì chū de qí zi què shì yǐ xīn niàn zhōng de dào wǎng tóu yǐng wèi yī fù ， zhǎn kāi 、 liú tǎng zhe ， huà zuò le yī jù rén xíng shēn qū 。
曾经，玄仙舟在得到一枚仙域棋子后，就将其化形为仙舟外在装甲。而此刻，李凡不断催动之下，掷出的棋子却是以心念中的道网投影为依附，展开、流淌着，化作了一具人形身躯。
From the moment Non-Existent set out, he remained unchanged until he collided with the invisible wall. Throughout his entire journey, he seemed indifferent to life or death.
zhǐ bù guò dào le zhè yī bù ， yī jiù shì kōng yǒu xíng tǐ 。 wēi xíng dào wǎng ， xiān yù suì piàn 。 quán dōu shì wài wù 。 gēn lǐ fán běn tǐ zhī jiān de lián xì tài guò dàn mò 。
只不过到了这一步，依旧是空有形体。微型道网，仙域碎片。全都是外物。跟李凡本体之间的联系太过淡漠。
"Non-Existent didn't appear outside the wall..."
gù ér ……
故而……
"The existence of a wall within is confirmed!" The main entity in the Void of Yellow and Black had already obtained preliminary answers through joint searches with the Dream Power from beyond the wall.
lǐ fán běn zūn ， cháo zhe zì jǐ méi xīn yòng lì yì diǎn 。
李凡本尊，朝着自己眉心用力一点。
---
zhǐ jìn fǎng fú chuān tòu quán shēn 。 yī bù fèn shén hún ， shùn dài zhe xuè ròu 、 gǔ gé ， zhí jiē bèi hōng jī chū lái 。
指劲仿佛穿透全身。一部分神魂，顺带着血肉、骨骼，直接被轰击出来。
After some time, Non-Existent's image slowly appeared.
zài lǐ fán běn zūn shēn tǐ zhī wài ， xíng chéng le yī céng báo báo dàn chì hóng de cán yǐng 。
在李凡本尊身体之外，形成了一层薄薄但赤红的残影。
"Fortunately, this wall cannot completely block the connection between the realms."
qiáng rěn zhe tóu yūn mù xuàn ， lǐ fán zhǐ huī zhe zì jǐ shēn tǐ de yī bù fèn ， fēi rù qián fāng yóu dào wǎng tóu yǐng 、 xiān yù qí zi suǒ liàn zhì de shēn qū zhī zhōng 。
强忍着头晕目眩，李凡指挥着自己身体的一部分，飞入前方由道网投影、仙域棋子所炼制的身躯之中。
Non-Existent was sensing his surroundings as he passed through the wall. His awareness of self had been suppressed by Non-Existent to a minimum level. Therefore, despite passing through the wall, he showed no psychological reactions.
yī zhàng zhe zì shēn duì cǐ èr zhě de shú xī ， lǐ fán yǒu xiē jiān nán de kòng zhì zhe ， jìn hū shì qiáng xíng jiāng xuè ròu cán yǐng gěi sāi jìn qù 。
依仗着自身对此二者的熟悉，李凡有些艰难的控制着，近乎是强行将血肉残影给塞进去。
He merely acted like a camera for Non-Existent, observing the scene inside the wall.
cǐ fān liàn zhì ， bù jǐn jǐn shì dān chún de liàn zhì fēn shēn 。 gèng shì cān kǎo jiè jiàn le qiǎo gōng zhī qián dǎ zào shèng fá kuǐ lěi ， yǐ jí tiān yáng chéng jiù xiān guī de guò chéng 。
此番炼制，不仅仅是单纯的炼制分身。更是参考借鉴了巧工之前打造圣罚傀儡，以及天阳成就仙傀的过程。
This world lacked an 'sky'. The sky above was actually the reflection of the ground below. However, when Non-Existent stood on the ground, his reflection did not appear in this mirror-sky.
yǔ qí shuō shì fēn shēn 。 bù rú shuō shì fēn shēn 、 shēn huà dào de wán měi róng hé 。
与其说是分身。不如说是分身、身化道的完美融合。
It wasn't because of his concealment ability; rather, he didn’t belong to this realm at all!
bìng qiě ， yīn wèi cǐ cì liàn zhì de cái liào tài guò qiáng dà ， lǐ fán yě yǒu xiē dān xīn fēn shēn shī kòng ， dǎo zhì xī rì shèng huáng lǐ píng chǎng miàn chóng xiàn 。 zài liàn zhì zhī chū ， lǐ fán jiù yǐ jīng wèi zhè jù qiáng dà de fēn shēn dìng xià le jī diào 。
并且，因为此次炼制的材料太过强大，李凡也有些担心分身失控，导致昔日圣皇李平场面重现。在炼制之初，李凡就已经为这具强大的分身定下了基调。
The sudden intrusion triggered a dramatic change in this world. The sky and earth began to shake and move towards each other, attempting to crush the intruder.
méi yǒu rèn hé de zì wǒ qíng xù 。 zhǐ shì jué duì yī zhào lǐ fán mìng lìng xíng shì 。 ruò yù zǔ lán zhě ， jǐn shā zhī 。 ruò fēi shì duì fāng dí shǒu ， zé zàn bì fēng máng 、 àn zhōng wěi suí 。 xún zhǎo jiě jué zhī dào ……
没有任何的自我情绪。只是绝对依照李凡命令行事。若遇阻拦者，尽杀之。若非是对方敌手，则暂避锋芒、暗中尾随。寻找解决之道……
Non-Existent extended his right hand straight up. His arm rapidly swelled into a pillar that held back the converging skies.
zǒng zhī ， fēn shēn kuǐ lěi de shè dìng ， jiù shì yī tái méi yǒu gǎn qíng de zhí xíng rèn wù jī qì 。 tā de rèn wù yě zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， nà jiù shì tàn jiū qīng chǔ gāo qiáng zhōng de mì mì 。 shèn zhì hái yǒu zhe ， wán chéng rèn wù hòu jiù huì zì wǒ huǐ miè de zhǐ lìng 。
总之，分身傀儡的设定，就是一台没有感情的执行任务机器。他的任务也只有一个，那就是探究清楚高墙中的秘密。甚至还有着，完成任务后就会自我毁灭的指令。
The mirror-sky continued to press down but couldn't advance an inch, making a creaking sound. The pressure caused layers of the sky and the pillar to shatter.
dào wǎng tóu yǐng ， shì tiān dì dà dào de yìng zhào 。 ér zhēn xiān zhuàn zì ， zé shì dà dào de jù xiàng miáo huì 。 èr zhě zhī jiān ， běn jiù yǒu qiáng xiāng guān lián 。 lǐ fán cóng zì jǐ shēn qū fēn chū de xuè ròu cán yǐng ， zé shì chōng chì zhe duì dà dào de rèn zhī 。 yǐ cǐ wèi nián hé diǎn ， màn màn jiāng sān zhě róng yú yī lú 。
道网投影，是天地大道的映照。而真仙篆字，则是大道的具象描绘。二者之间，本就有强相关联。李凡从自己身躯分出的血肉残影，则是充斥着对大道的认知。以此为黏合点，慢慢将三者熔于一炉。
However, beyond the shattered mirrors wasn’t empty space; it was another layer of mirrors!
「 fēn shēn xīn niàn yìng zhào dào wǎng ， shēn qū yóu dà dào suǒ huà 。 yī chū shì ， jiù yǐ jīng shì xīn niàn huà shén 、 ròu shēn yuán yīng de xiǎo chéng jìng jiè le 。」
「分身心念映照道网，身躯由大道所化。一出世，就已经是心念化神、肉身元婴的小成境界了。」
Non-Existent used his right arm to support the heavens while his body detached from his arm, quickly scanning for an exit in this vast space.
「 dān lùn zhàn lì ， kǒng pà yào yuǎn zài wǒ zhī shàng ……」
「单论战力，恐怕要远在我之上……」
But there seemed to be no boundaries. At Non-Existent's terrifying speed, he spent half a day without finding any limits.
yīn wèi zhè qiáng dà kuǐ lěi de zhú jiàn chéng xíng ， qiáng dà de lìng yí gè zì wǒ zhèng màn màn jiāng lǐ fán lā xiàng bǐ fāng 。 jiù hǎo xiàng shuǐ zhōng de dào yǐng ， zhèng zài shēn shǒu ， yào jiāng tā chě jìn shuǐ lǐ yī yàng 。
因为这强大傀儡的逐渐成型，强大的另一个自我正慢慢将李凡拉向彼方。就好像水中的倒影，正在伸手，要将他扯进水里一样。
As he moved, the boundary of this world seemed to expand with him.
rú zhì ér chí zhòng jiàn 。 ruò shì zài qián rù shuò xīng hǎi 、 jiē chù dào wǎng zhī qián ， zhè fēn shēn kuǐ lěi yī chū ， kǒng pà jiù huì chāo chū lǐ fán de kòng zhì 。 fǎn kè wéi zhǔ 。
如稚儿持重剑。若是在潜入朔星海、接触道网之前，这分身傀儡一出，恐怕就会超出李凡的控制。反客为主。
Non-Existent recorded every detail of the landscape in his mind and found no repetition.
dàn xiàn zài ……
但现在……
Returning to where he stood, he grabbed the pillar with his left hand. With a slight force, it felt like grabbing a giant rod and pulling hard. The pillar tilted, tearing open a hole in the sky.
lǐ fán miàn sè cóng róng ， dǎ chū yī méi méi dào wǎng zhǐ lìng 。
李凡面色从容，打出一枚枚道网指令。
Non-Existent swung his left hand at the pillar, shattering the mirror-sky into pieces. He even swallowed the shattered fragments that fell from the sky.
fēn shēn kuǐ lěi tǐ nèi de dào wǎng tóu yǐng ， dùn shí tóng bù fā chū bù tíng shǎn shuò de guāng máng 。 shì shì zài huí yìng lǐ fán de dòng zuò 。
分身傀儡体内的道网投影，顿时同步发出不停闪烁的光芒。似是在回应李凡的动作。
The miniature network of laws within his mind flickered as he analyzed this mirror-sky.
kuǐ lěi jiù zhè yàng bèi màn màn shè fú ， wēi shì jǐn liǎn 。 jìng jìng chù lì 。
傀儡就这样被慢慢慑服，威势尽敛。静静矗立。
"The laws form a veil, obscuring the eyes of all."
lǐ fán cǐ jǔ ， kàn shì qīng miáo dàn xiě ， shí zé bèi hòu shì shuò xīng hǎi wú shù nián duì dào wǎng yán jiū de jī lěi 。 zhǐ bù guò lǐ fán jiāng qí huà wèi jǐ yòng ， zuò yòng zài le zì jǐ xīn niàn zhōng de dào wǎng tóu yǐng zhōng 。
李凡此举，看似轻描淡写，实则背后是朔星海无数年对道网研究的积累。只不过李凡将其化为己用，作用在了自己心念中的道网投影中。
"The exit is ahead."
xiāng jiào yú fù gài zhěng gè shuò xīng hǎi de páng dà dào wǎng ， cún zài yú lǐ fán shén niàn zhōng de ， kě yǐ shuō shí fēn ruò xiǎo 。 dàn bì jìng yǐ jīng jù bèi le 「 dào wǎng 」 de jī běn xìng zhì 。
相较于覆盖整个朔星海的庞大道网，存在于李凡神念中的，可以说十分弱小。但毕竟已经具备了「道网」的基本性质。
Non-Existent simply stated these conclusions without further thought. Like a giant in creation myths, Non-Existent held up a pillar and rapidly grew larger.
zài jiā shàng yǒu qiáng dà de ròu shēn zuò wéi zhī chí 。 zhè jù fēn shēn kuǐ lěi yǔ zhēn xiān pǐ dí ， bìng fēi nàn shì 。
再加上有强大的肉身作为支持。这具分身傀儡与真仙匹敌，并非难事。
In an instant, he surpassed the shattered sky and continued towards the heavens beyond.
「 gèng miào de shì ， fēn shēn kuǐ lěi tǐ nèi méi yǒu xiān líng zhī lì ， nǎi shì dà dào fǎ zé zào wù 。 ruò shì kè yì yǐn cáng ， yǐn yú tiān dì zhī jiān ， zhèng rú bīng róng shuǐ 、 yǎo wú hén jì 。 jiù xiàng xún cháng zhī wù ， zhuàng jī gāo qiáng ， yě bú huì bèi tè shū duì dài 、 zhí jiē fàng chū gāo qiáng 。」
「更妙的是，分身傀儡体内没有仙灵之力，乃是大道法则造物。若是刻意隐藏，隐于天地之间，正如冰融水、杳无痕迹。就像寻常之物，撞击高墙，也不会被特殊对待、直接放出高墙。」
He smashed layer after layer with his head as a hammer.
yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， qiān yǐn 、 cāo zòng wēi xíng dào wǎng ， jué fēi yì shì 。 zòng shǐ yǐ lǐ fán rú jīn shén niàn de qiáng dù ， yě xū fēn chū bā jiǔ fēn zhù yì lì ， cái néng qiān zhì fēn shēn kuǐ lěi 。
以一人之力，牵引、操纵微型道网，绝非易事。纵使以李凡如今神念的强度，也需分出八九分注意力，才能牵制分身傀儡。
BANG! BANG! BANG!
「
「
Finally, when the last veil was broken, Non-Existent leaped out. His body had returned to normal size, cautiously observing his surroundings.
qí shí yī shí fàng kāi ， yě bìng méi yǒu shén me dà ài 。 zhǐ xū jí shí zài jiāng qí nà rù dào wǎng de zhǎng kòng jiù xíng 。 tā zhè duàn shí jiān nèi ， hái huì àn zhào wǒ shè dìng de rèn wù mù biāo xíng shì 。 jiù shì bù néng zhǎng shí jiān ràng qí chù zài zì yóu zhuàng tài ……」
其实一时放开，也并没有什么大碍。只需及时再将其纳入道网的掌控就行。他这段时间内，还会按照我设定的任务目标行事。就是不能长时间让其处在自由状态……」
"No signs of life."
「 fǒu zé ， bì dìng huì yǒu zá yì zī shēng ！」
「否则，必定会有杂意滋生！」
"Signs of the Great Dao are absent."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng liǎo rán 。
李凡心中了然。
"Safe for now."
yī méi méi dào wǎng zhǐ lìng ， biān zhī chéng xiàn 。 jiāng kuǐ lěi fēn shēn láo láo qiān zhù 。
一枚枚道网指令，编织成线。将傀儡分身牢牢牵住。
Turning around, he saw that his origin point was just a glass-like transparent sculpture, shattered and unable to be seen clearly.
wǎn ruò shòu dào lǐ fán sī xiàn qiān yǐn de kuǐ lěi jù shòu 。
宛若受到李凡丝线牵引的傀儡巨兽。
Around him were 16 other sculptures.
「 tiān dì bù rén ， yǐ wàn wù wèi chú gǒu 。」
「天地不仁，以万物为刍狗。」
"There should be 18 in total."
「 nǐ yě wú xū kǎo lǜ zhè shì jiān wàn wù ， zhǐ xū àn zhào wǒ de mìng lìng xíng shì 。」
「你也无需考虑这世间万物，只需按照我的命令行事。」
"One is missing."
「 jiù jiào nǐ ……」
「就叫你……」
"Fifteen remain intact except five."
「 lǐ bù rén ba ！」
「李不仁吧！」
Non-Existent continued his cold analysis.
suí zhe zuì hòu yī dào zhǐ lìng dǎ chū ， suǒ yǒu de sī xiàn guī yú fēn shēn xīn niàn de dào wǎng zhī zhōng ， xún cháng shǒu duàn bù kě dé jiàn 。
随着最后一道指令打出，所有的丝线归于分身心念的道网之中，寻常手段不可得见。
Approaching the nearest intact transparent sculpture:
lǐ fán gǎn jué dào ， qián fāng de lǐ bù rén gēn zì jǐ xíng chéng le mǒu zhǒng qí tè de guān lián 。
李凡感觉到，前方的李不仁跟自己形成了某种奇特的关联。
"Beyond certain boundaries, one cannot see clearly; must approach to discern its form and contents."
bǐ qǐ chún cuì de xuè ròu fēn shēn ， yào gèng jiā de shū yuǎn 。
比起纯粹的血肉分身，要更加的疏远。
"This isn't due to array restrictions..."
dàn shì bǐ qǐ píng jiè yì niàn cāo kòng de kuǐ lěi ， què yòu yào qīn jìn tài duō 。
但是比起凭借意念操控的傀儡，却又要亲近太多。
"It's a characteristic of this realm."
lǐ bù rén miàn sè rú wàn nián hán bīng ， méi yǒu rèn hé de qíng gǎn bō dòng 。
李不仁面色如万年寒冰，没有任何的情感波动。
Non-Existent observed, as if the miniature network was visible in his eyes. He reached out and gently touched it.
liǎng yǎn gèng shì wán quán jì chéng le lǐ fán xīn zhōng zuì zhēn shí de xiǎng fǎ 、 nà duì tiān dì wàn wù yóu zhōng de mò shì 。 nǎ pà lǐ fán zì jǐ yǔ zhī duì shì ， dōu bù yóu xīn zhōng wēi wēi yī chàn 。
两眼更是完全继承了李凡心中最真实的想法、那对天地万物由衷的漠视。哪怕李凡自己与之对视，都不由心中微微一颤。
A new light appeared within the network.
lǐ bù rén shēn qū zhōu zāo ， qì xī bù xiǎn ， jiù hǎo sì zhè piàn tiān dì běn shēn 。 suī shēn fù dà dào zhī zhòng ， què yòu néng qīng ruò yóu hóng 。
李不仁身躯周遭，气息不显，就好似这片天地本身。虽身负大道之重，却又能轻若游鸿。
This was a law that had not been part of the miniature network before but was now perceived by Non-Existent and integrated into his own projection.
méi yǒu qīn yǎn kàn dào tā ， nǎ pà tā qī jìn shēn qián ， yě bú huì zhù yì dào 。 dàn zhǐ yào yī zhù shì ， jiù bì jiāng nán yǐ wàng huái 。 tóng shí nèi xīn shēn chù ， yǒng qǐ běn néng de dǎn hán 。 chéng wéi huī zhī bù qù de kǒng bù yīn yǐng 。
没有亲眼看到他，哪怕他欺近身前，也不会注意到。但只要一注视，就毕将难以忘怀。同时内心深处，涌起本能的胆寒。成为挥之不去的恐怖阴影。
After a moment, the lights in Non-Existent's eyes dimmed as he revealed the forms behind 11 transparent sculptures.
lǐ fán yě bù yuàn gēn yǎn qián zhè jù chún cuì de huǐ miè zào wù duō dài 。
李凡也不愿跟眼前这具纯粹的毁灭造物多待。
He saw many different faces or, more accurately, figures of immortals.
「 nǐ qù ba 。」 zhǐ dàn dàn dì shuō le zhè me yī jù 。
「你去吧。」只淡淡地说了这么一句。
"Each sculpture contains a specific law of the universe."
lǐ bù rén shēn xíng huà jiàn ， zhuǎn shùn jiān xiāo shī zài le xuán huáng jiè zhōng 。
李不仁身形化剑，转瞬间消失在了玄黄界中。
"Should be related to the path of the immortal who created it."
sān xī guò qù 。
三息过去。
Approaching one of the sculptures, Non-Existent felt the energy of the "Guarding" principle.
biàn yǐ jīng héng chuān le zhěng gè zhì àn xīng hǎi ， lái dào le gāo qiáng jiǎo xià 。
便已经横穿了整个至暗星海，来到了高墙脚下。
However, this principle was already recorded in his network projection, so he ignored it. He just approached closely and peered into the transparent sculpture.
dà dào huà xíng ， cháng yáng zài dà dào zhī zhōng 。 zhèng rú yú yóu shuǐ 。
大道化形，徜徉在大道之中。正如鱼游水。
If the main entity were here, they would have been alarmed by what they saw. But Non-Existent remained unperturbed, staring at the large eyes: "A corpse."
bǐ qǐ lǐ fán de jiàn dùn zhī shù ， hái yào kuài shàng shù shí bèi bù zhǐ 。
比起李凡的剑遁之术，还要快上数十倍不止。
"A True Immortal's corpse."
ér lǐ bù rén miàn duì zhe qián fāng de wú xíng gāo qiáng ， gèng shì méi yǒu rèn hé de yóu yù 。
而李不仁面对着前方的无形高墙，更是没有任何的犹豫。
Non-Existent withdrew his gaze to other sculptures and observed them closely.
yíng tóu biàn zhuàng le shàng qù 。
迎头便撞了上去。
In each of these 15 intact transparent sculptures, he found a True Immortal’s corpse.
cóng chū fā xíng dòng ， dào yǔ gāo qiáng xiāng zhuàng 。 zì shǐ zhì zhōng ， lǐ bù rén zhěng gè rén dōu rú diāo sù bān ， méi yǒu sī háo de biàn huà 。 jiù xiàng zhè shēng sǐ yōu guān zhī shì ， gēn zì jǐ wú guān yī yàng 。
从出发行动，到与高墙相撞。自始至终，李不仁整个人都如雕塑般，没有丝毫的变化。就像这生死攸关之事，跟自己无关一样。
"The paths they followed were different."
「 méi yǒu chū xiàn zài qiáng wài ……」
「没有出现在墙外……」
"They weren't the same True Immortal."
「 kàn lái guǒ zhēn yǒu qiáng zhōng zhī shuō ！」 tíng liú zài xuán huáng jiè de lǐ fán běn zūn ， gēn qiáng wài de mèng jìng zhī lì lián hé sōu suǒ 、 yìn zhèng zhī xià ， yǐ jīng chū bù dé dào le xiǎng yào de dá àn 。
「看来果真有墙中之说！」停留在玄黄界的李凡本尊，跟墙外的梦境之力联合搜索、印证之下，已经初步得到了想要的答案。
"Where I came from, there was no sign of a True Immortal's corpse..."
ér guò le yī huì ， lái zì lǐ bù rén de huà miàn cái huǎn huǎn fú xiàn 。
而过了一会，来自李不仁的画面才缓缓浮现。
Stopping in front of the last transparent sculpture, Non-Existent didn’t hesitate. He punched its face.
「 hǎo zài ， zhè gāo qiáng ， bìng bù néng wán quán zǔ gé dà dào zhī jiān de lián xì 。」
「好在，这高墙，并不能完全阻隔大道之间的联系。」
The sculpture remained immobile; not even a tremor was produced.
lǐ fán jié lì ， gǎn yìng zhe fēn shēn kuǐ lěi chù de zāo yù 。
李凡竭力，感应着分身傀儡处的遭遇。
Non-Existent’s punch, which could shatter the Void of Yellow and Black, was completely blocked.
yóu yú lǐ bù rén zì wǒ de yì shí bō dòng ， yǐ bèi lǐ fán yā zhì kě néng dé zuì dī 。 gù ér jǐn guǎn jīng
由于李不仁自我的意识波动，已被李凡压制可能得最低。故而尽管经
But Non-Existent persisted, punching repeatedly. The symbols on his body were twisted True Immortal characters.
lì le chuān suō gāo qiáng zhè yī shì ， lǐ bù rén tā zì shēn ， què bìng méi yǒu shén me xīn lǐ huó dòng 。
历了穿梭高墙这一事，李不仁他自身，却并没有什么心理活动。
"It seems there's no damage."
zhǐ shì chōng dāng zhe lǐ fán de 「 shè xiàng tóu 」， dài tì qù guān chá qiáng zhōng zhī jǐng 。
只是充当着李凡的「摄像头」，代替去观察墙中之景。
"However, each strike attracts a portion of the sculpture's Dao energy to my body."
yī fāng bìng méi yǒu 「 tiān kōng 」 cún zài de shén qí shì jiè 。
一方并没有「天空」存在的神奇世界。
"This is a trade-off."
tóu dǐng chéng xiàn de ， shì jiǎo xià dà dì de dào yǐng 。
头顶呈现的，是脚下大地的倒影。
"Useful."
dàn lǐ bù rén zhàn dà dì shàng ， tiān kōng de jìng zi ， què méi yǒu jiāng tā yìng zhào zài nèi 。
但李不仁站大地上，天空的镜子，却没有将他映照在内。
Non-Existent continued punching without rest.
bìng fēi shì lǐ bù rén de yǐn nì tè xìng dǎo zhì 。
并非是李不仁的隐匿特性导致。
The originally transparent sculptures became more 'dissolved' and turned into water-like structures. Under his steady blows, they finally shattered.
ér shì ……
而是……
Interestingly, the True Immortal’s corpse Non-Existent had seen did not fall out with the fragments but remained scattered on the ground, just like when he broke free from his previous confinement.
lǐ bù rén běn jiù bù shǔ yú zhè piàn tiān dì ！
李不仁本就不属于这片天地！
"The corpses I saw are not true corpses."
chá jué dào le wài lái zhě de rù qīn ， zhè piàn tiān dì zhòu rán jù biàn 。
察觉到了外来者的入侵，这片天地骤然剧变。
"They are representations of the True Immortals' understanding of the Dao before their death."
tiān kōng yǔ dà dì zài wēi wēi zhèn chàn jiān ， hōng rán ér dòng 。 hù xiāng cháo zhe bǐ cǐ jiē jìn 。
天空与大地在微微震颤间，轰然而动。互相朝着彼此接近。
"Although these immortals have passed away, someone preserved this knowledge in some way."
jù lǒng shōu hé jiān ， yào jiāng zhè tū rán chuǎng rù de wài lái zhě gěi niǎn de fěn suì 。
聚拢收合间，要将这突然闯入的外来者给碾的粉碎。
Non-Existent placed a fragment in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
lǐ bù rén zhǐ bǐ zhí de xiàng shàng shēn chū yòu shǒu 。
李不仁只笔直的向上伸出右手。
Afterward, he concluded: "Beneficial to me."
shǒu bì zhǎ yǎn jiān ， péng zhàng chéng tiān zhù bān 。 jiāng hé lǒng de tiān dì gěi qiáng xíng chēng zhù 。
手臂眨眼间，膨胀成天柱般。将合拢的天地给强行撑住。
He then swallowed all the fragments of Dao insights from this place.
jìng miàn tiān kōng
镜面天空
Free reading continues...
A puppet-like entity named "Non-Existent" was sent into the Void of Yellow and Black to explore.
---
From the moment Non-Existent set out, he remained unchanged until he collided with the invisible wall. Throughout his entire journey, he seemed indifferent to life or death.
"Non-Existent didn't appear outside the wall..."
"The existence of a wall within is confirmed!" The main entity in the Void of Yellow and Black had already obtained preliminary answers through joint searches with the Dream Power from beyond the wall.

After some time, Non-Existent's image slowly appeared.
"Fortunately, this wall cannot completely block the connection between the realms."
Non-Existent was sensing his surroundings as he passed through the wall. His awareness of self had been suppressed by Non-Existent to a minimum level. Therefore, despite passing through the wall, he showed no psychological reactions.
He merely acted like a camera for Non-Existent, observing the scene inside the wall.
This world lacked an 'sky'. The sky above was actually the reflection of the ground below. However, when Non-Existent stood on the ground, his reflection did not appear in this mirror-sky.
It wasn't because of his concealment ability; rather, he didn’t belong to this realm at all!
The sudden intrusion triggered a dramatic change in this world. The sky and earth began to shake and move towards each other, attempting to crush the intruder.
Non-Existent extended his right hand straight up. His arm rapidly swelled into a pillar that held back the converging skies.
The mirror-sky continued to press down but couldn't advance an inch, making a creaking sound. The pressure caused layers of the sky and the pillar to shatter.
However, beyond the shattered mirrors wasn’t empty space; it was another layer of mirrors!
Non-Existent used his right arm to support the heavens while his body detached from his arm, quickly scanning for an exit in this vast space.
But there seemed to be no boundaries. At Non-Existent's terrifying speed, he spent half a day without finding any limits.
As he moved, the boundary of this world seemed to expand with him.
Non-Existent recorded every detail of the landscape in his mind and found no repetition.
Returning to where he stood, he grabbed the pillar with his left hand. With a slight force, it felt like grabbing a giant rod and pulling hard. The pillar tilted, tearing open a hole in the sky.
Non-Existent swung his left hand at the pillar, shattering the mirror-sky into pieces. He even swallowed the shattered fragments that fell from the sky.
The miniature network of laws within his mind flickered as he analyzed this mirror-sky.
"The laws form a veil, obscuring the eyes of all."
"The exit is ahead."
Non-Existent simply stated these conclusions without further thought. Like a giant in creation myths, Non-Existent held up a pillar and rapidly grew larger.
In an instant, he surpassed the shattered sky and continued towards the heavens beyond.
He smashed layer after layer with his head as a hammer.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Finally, when the last veil was broken, Non-Existent leaped out. His body had returned to normal size, cautiously observing his surroundings.
"No signs of life."
"Signs of the Great Dao are absent."
"Safe for now."
Turning around, he saw that his origin point was just a glass-like transparent sculpture, shattered and unable to be seen clearly.
Around him were 16 other sculptures.
"There should be 18 in total."
"One is missing."
"Fifteen remain intact except five."
Non-Existent continued his cold analysis.
Approaching the nearest intact transparent sculpture:
"Beyond certain boundaries, one cannot see clearly; must approach to discern its form and contents."
"This isn't due to array restrictions..."
"It's a characteristic of this realm."
Non-Existent observed, as if the miniature network was visible in his eyes. He reached out and gently touched it.
A new light appeared within the network.
This was a law that had not been part of the miniature network before but was now perceived by Non-Existent and integrated into his own projection.
After a moment, the lights in Non-Existent's eyes dimmed as he revealed the forms behind 11 transparent sculptures.
He saw many different faces or, more accurately, figures of immortals.
"Each sculpture contains a specific law of the universe."
"Should be related to the path of the immortal who created it."
Approaching one of the sculptures, Non-Existent felt the energy of the "Guarding" principle.
However, this principle was already recorded in his network projection, so he ignored it. He just approached closely and peered into the transparent sculpture.
If the main entity were here, they would have been alarmed by what they saw. But Non-Existent remained unperturbed, staring at the large eyes: "A corpse."
"A True Immortal's corpse."
Non-Existent withdrew his gaze to other sculptures and observed them closely.
In each of these 15 intact transparent sculptures, he found a True Immortal’s corpse.
"The paths they followed were different."
"They weren't the same True Immortal."
"Where I came from, there was no sign of a True Immortal's corpse..."
Stopping in front of the last transparent sculpture, Non-Existent didn’t hesitate. He punched its face.
The sculpture remained immobile; not even a tremor was produced.
Non-Existent’s punch, which could shatter the Void of Yellow and Black, was completely blocked.
But Non-Existent persisted, punching repeatedly. The symbols on his body were twisted True Immortal characters.
"It seems there's no damage."
"However, each strike attracts a portion of the sculpture's Dao energy to my body."
"This is a trade-off."
"Useful."
Non-Existent continued punching without rest.
The originally transparent sculptures became more 'dissolved' and turned into water-like structures. Under his steady blows, they finally shattered.
Interestingly, the True Immortal’s corpse Non-Existent had seen did not fall out with the fragments but remained scattered on the ground, just like when he broke free from his previous confinement.
"The corpses I saw are not true corpses."
"They are representations of the True Immortals' understanding of the Dao before their death."
"Although these immortals have passed away, someone preserved this knowledge in some way."
Non-Existent placed a fragment in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
Afterward, he concluded: "Beneficial to me."
He then swallowed all the fragments of Dao insights from this place.
