cóng shǒu qiū xiān xū yǐng suǒ zài kōng jiān diē luò ， gēn cóng wài jiè jìng zhí chuǎng rù 。 zài zhè huán xíng dà tīng zhōng suǒ jiàn ， yì yǒu bù tóng 。
从守丘仙虚影所在空间跌落，跟从外界径直闯入。在这环形大厅中所见，亦有不同。
Falling into a deep contemplation, Li Non finally came back to his senses after an indeterminate amount of time. The recorded images and the dialogue between the two unnamed True Immortals contained too many subtle hints.
sì hū shì gǎn yìng dào le lǐ bù rén shēn shàng shàng wèi xiāo shī de shǒu qiū xiān chuán dào hén jì ， dà tīng huán bì zhī shàng ， qíng jǐng zài biàn 。
似乎是感应到了李不仁身上尚未消失的守丘仙传道痕迹，大厅环壁之上，情景再变。
"Epochs. Celestial Yang Sovereign, Heavenly Net Sovereign."
chú le dài biǎo wú shù bèi jiān shì xīng hǎi de fāng kuài 、 yǐ jí nà dà kōng dòng bái quān zhī wài ， hái yǒu yī dào xiàng jí le shǒu qiū xiān de shēn yǐng 。
除了代表无数被监视星海的方块、以及那大空洞白圈之外，还有一道像极了守丘仙的身影。
Li Non never expected that the epochs in the celestial realm were not fixed years but determined by the actual tenure of the reigning Celestial Sovereign.
fù shǒu bèi duì ér lì ， tiào wàng xià fāng xīng hǎi 。
负手背对而立，眺望下方星海。
"Seven hundred million years is also not a long life. True Immortals truly are different from ordinary beings," he mused.
lǐ bù rén jīng shén yī zhèn ， cháng shì shén niàn gǎn chù 。
李不仁精神一震，尝试神念感触。
"And that Guardian of Purity, or as he calls himself, Guardian of Purity, lived for one hundred and twenty-three epochs... That's a number that makes the hair on my head stand up."
piàn kè zhī hòu ， fǎn yìng guò lái ：“ bìng bú shì nà wèi shǒu qiū xiān 。 ér shì shì wǒ zhè bān ， dé dào le 【 shǒu qiū màn bǐ 】 chuán chéng ， gù ér qì xī shí fēn xiāng sì 。”
片刻之后，反应过来：“并不是那位守丘仙。而是似我这般，得到了【守丘漫笔】传承，故而气息十分相似。”
"Moreover, what the Ling True Immortal said about life span being in sync with Dao. But then he mentioned that living for millions of years is already long enough. What does this mean? Could it be that the existence time of the Great Dao in the world is only a million years? This is impossible!"
“ bù guò ， cóng zhè shēn yǐng shàng xiǎn huà de ‘ shǒu qiū ’ zhuàng tài chéng dù lái kàn ……”
“不过，从这身影上显化的‘守丘’状态程度来看……”
Li Fan had already used his divine sense to perceive the network of Dharma, but he had never noticed any lifespan limit on the Great Dao.
“ kǒng pà cǐ rén ， shì yǐ wú míng zhēn xiān jìng jiè ， dé dào le quán bù de màn bǐ chuán chéng 。 ér bú shì xiàng wǒ zhè yàng ， tóu jī qǔ qiǎo 。”
“恐怕此人，是以无名真仙境界，得到了全部的漫笔传承。而不是像我这样，投机取巧。”
"The recorded images from the experimental field should not fabricate such information."
dàn yǎn qián zhè wèi wú míng zhēn xiān suǒ liú shēn yǐng ， bìng fēi shì chéng dào zhī yòng 。
但眼前这位无名真仙所留身影，并非是承道之用。
"Could it be..."
ér sì hū zhǐ shì jì lù le yī duàn yǐng xiàng 。
而似乎只是记录了一段影像。
Suddenly, Li Fan's mind flickered. He recalled his previous hypothesis that both the Dharma Submersion and the Infinite Sea originated from a single source.
yì zhí yǐn cáng zài gāo qiáng zhōng zhè chù shí yàn kōng jiān nèi ， zhí zhì gǎn yìng dào lǐ bù rén xiāng sì de “ shǒu qiū ” qì xī ， zhè cái bèi jī fā 。
一直隐藏在高墙中这处实验空间内，直至感应到李不仁相似的“守丘”气息，这才被激发。
"The submergence of the Dharma extinguishes the Dharma, and the surviving Dharma gradually loses its inherent limitations."
“ zhí zhèng zhāi yáng xiān dì ， bù jiǔ qián yǐ jīng zuò gǔ 。”
“执政斋阳仙帝，不久前已经作古。”
"Is the Great Dao in the world becoming stronger than ever before after being purified by the Dharma Submersion?" Li Fan was uncertain.
“ jù lí 【 làn kē dào chǎng 】 chuàng lì zhì jīn ， yǐ jīng zú zú guò qù yí gè jì yuán le ……”
“距离【烂柯道场】创立至今，已经足足过去一个纪元了……”
It could also be that the waxing and waning of the Dharma is an intrinsic attribute of the Dharma itself.
“ zhè shì hé děng yōu zhǎng de yī duàn suì yuè 。 jiǔ dào yǐ wǒ xiān shēn ， wǎng xī jì yì dōu yǐ jīng yǒu xiē mó hú le 。”
“这是何等悠长的一段岁月。久到以我仙身，往昔记忆都已经有些模糊了。”
However, with the threat of the Dharma Submersion as an external factor, the Dharma has gradually changed over time.
……
……
Regardless, the limit on the life span of True Immortals, even Unnamed True Immortals, being no more than ten million years, still left Li Fan somewhat disappointed.
zhè shēng yīn bìng fēi shì lái zì lǐ bù rén yǎn qián shēn yǐng ， ér shì yuán zì miǎo miǎo tiān wài ， shì shì zài gēn shēn yǐng gé jiè duì huà 。
这声音并非是来自李不仁眼前身影，而是缘自渺渺天外，似是在跟身影隔界对话。
Just like his previous contemplation in the illusionary realm before he officially started cultivation, it was far from his true goal of longevity and immortality.
“ zhāi yáng xiān dì chū dēng dà diǎn zhī shí ， wǒ hái shì liè tú xīng yù yī xiān pū 。 qī bǎi liù shí èr wàn sì qiān liù bǎi sān shí bā nián guò qù ， wǒ yǐ shēng zhì wú míng zhī jìng 。” shēn yǐng mǎn shì gǎn kǎi de shuō dào ， bìng wèi kàn xiàng tiān wài shēng yīn chuán lái de fāng xiàng ， ér shì yī jiù kàn zhe bèi shí yàn chǎng zhōng de zhòng duō xīng hǎi 。
“斋阳仙帝初登大典之时，我还是列涂星域一仙仆。七百六十二万四千六百三十八年过去，我已升至无名之境。”身影满是感慨的说道，并未看向天外声音传来的方向，而是依旧看着被实验场中的众多星海。
"However, for Guardian of Purity to endure a hundred tribulations and a hundred Celestial Sovereigns without being eradicated is already close to what I desire," Li Fan thought.
Falling into a deep contemplation, Li Non finally came back to his senses after an indeterminate amount of time. The recorded images and the dialogue between the two unnamed True Immortals contained too many subtle hints.
"Epochs. Celestial Yang Sovereign, Heavenly Net Sovereign."
