shǒu qiū gōng zhī qiáng dà ， lìng rén xīn shēng xiàng wǎng 。
守丘公之强大，令人心生向往。
The true essence of Zhen Ren felt a surge of excitement far greater than that of Zhen Ren himself.
dàn duì yú qìng yín suǒ shuō ， huò dé shǒu qiū gōng chuán chéng huì zì rán ér rán chǎn shēng de xiàn zhì ， lǐ fán què shì bìng bù zěn me zài yì 。
但对于庆寅所说，获得守丘公传承会自然而然产生的限制，李凡却是并不怎么在意。
"Having Zhen Ren, all the treasures in this world have lost their value to me," he thought with joy. "As long as I want it, even the most precious and rare things can be transformed into an infinite amount."
yī lái ， suī rán shǒu qiū gōng yǐn yǐn shì mù qián yǐ zhī cún zài zhōng de zuì qiáng zhě ， dàn lǐ fán yī rán bù rèn wéi tā néng gòu qiáng guò hái zhēn 。
一来，虽然守丘公隐隐是目前已知存在中的最强者，但李凡依然不认为祂能够强过还真。
However, the virtual shadow of Zhen Zhen Ren was not valued by its quantity but rather by its existence itself! It was like finding a godly item in a game; he couldn't wait to try it out.
èr lái ma ， huò dé hé xiū xíng 【 shǒu qiū màn bǐ 】 de shì lǐ bù rén ， shí zài bù xíng kě yǐ gān cuì ná tā dǐ zhài 。 gēn tā lǐ fán yòu méi yǒu shén me guān xì 。
二来嘛，获得和修行【守丘漫笔】的是李不仁，实在不行可以干脆拿他抵债。跟他李凡又没有什么关系。
His gaze turned towards the floating Xuan Can outside the wall. "You two have rested long enough."
「 qìng yín suǒ liú yǐng xiàng zhōng ， hái yǒu xiē xǔ yí diǎn 。」
「庆寅所留影像中，还有些许疑点。」
"Let's see how strong this Zhen Zhen Ren's virtual shadow is!"
「 bǐ rú wèi hé qìng yín yào zài shì yàn chǎng zhōng ， tè dì liú xià zhè duàn jì lù ？ tā zuì hòu cháo zhe guān yǐng zhě kàn de nà yī yǎn ， míng xiǎn jiù shì yì yǒu suǒ zhǐ 。」
「比如为何庆寅要在试验场中，特地留下这段记录？他最后朝着观影者看的那一眼，明显就是意有所指。」
Using the virtual shadow of Zhen Zhen Ren indeed had significant negative impacts, and even more so if used excessively, it could trigger an early arrival of the Danyuan disaster.
「 sūn piāo miǎo 、 céng jīng nà wèi xià jiè fù zé kān shǒu xuán huáng de zhēn xiān ， yě shàng bù míng bái gēn zhè suǒ wèi 【 làn kē dào chǎng 】 de jù tǐ guān xì ……」
「孙缥缈、曾经那位下界负责看守玄黄的真仙，也尚不明白跟这所谓【烂柯道场】的具体关系……」
But these were no longer within his considerations!
tài duō de mì mì ， dōu suí zhe dào yān de jiàng lín 、 xiān jiè de pò miè ér chè dǐ shī qù le yàn zhèng de jī huì 。 lǐ fán yě méi yǒu yí dìng yào shēn jiū yī qiè de dǎ suàn 。
太多的秘密，都随着道湮的降临、仙界的破灭而彻底失去了验证的机会。李凡也没有一定要深究一切的打算。
After receiving Li Fan's command, Zhen Ren took a brief rest before resuming his seat on the armchair. Meanwhile, Ma Tian De, who had been sleeping in the void, suddenly opened his eyes.
「 suī bù néng jìn shù kān gāo qiáng zhī mì ， dàn dé le shǒu qiū gōng chuán chéng yǔ qìng yín de rèn kě ， zài cǐ chù shí yàn chǎng de " quán xiàn "， què shì bǐ dān chún de yóu kè ， yào gāo le xǔ duō 。」
「虽不能尽数勘高墙之秘，但得了守丘公传承与庆寅的认可，在此处实验场的"权限"，却是比单纯的游客，要高了许多。」
The virtual shadow of Zhen Zhen Ren and this body's vision gradually aligned. The previously unbreakable Xuan Can seemed to be instantly penetrable now.
qìng yín yǐng xiàng sàn qù ， lǐ bù rén chóng xīn yì lì zài huán xíng dà tīng zhōng ， mò mò gǎn wù zhe 。
庆寅影像散去，李不仁重新屹立在环形大厅中，默默感悟着。
Ma Tian De smiled meaningfully and gently drew a line towards what was seen as 'the knot' in his field of view.
nà xiē yuán běn duì zì jǐ háo wú fǎn yìng de zhū duō wù jiàn ， sì hū biàn dé yí dìng chéng dù shàng ， kě yǐ chù mō 、 cāo zòng le 。
那些原本对自己毫无反应的诸多物件，似乎变得一定程度上，可以触摸、操纵了。
With the myriad entanglements, the knot was effortlessly untied. A dull rumbling echoed as the lid of the coffin was lifted.
chú le nà jù diào yòng shí yàn chǎng jì lù lì shǐ yǐng xiàng de rén yǒng zhī wài ， lǐ bù rén fā xiàn de gēn zì jǐ chǎn shēng de gòng míng zuì wèi qiáng liè de ， dāng shǔ yú yī bǎ àn hóng sè shí mù tài shī yǐ 。
除了那具调用实验场记录历史影像的人俑之外，李不仁发现的跟自己产生的共鸣最为强烈的，当属于一把暗红色实木太师椅。
Qian Ru Chang and Wuxian inside the Xuan Can were momentarily stunned by this sudden change. Without hesitation, they unleashed their full potential to escape from the coffin.
lǐ bù rén yòng shǒu qīng fǔ ， cóng zhōng gǎn shòu dào le shǒu qiū gōng xū yǐng de dàn dàn qì xī 。
李不仁用手轻抚，从中感受到了守丘公虚影的淡淡气息。
At that moment, Li Fan clearly saw their true forms. First, Qian Ru Chang's normal appearance was a muscular giant holding a massive pillar, towering and fierce.
「 zhè bǎ yǐ zi ， shǒu qiū gōng sì hū céng jīng zuò guò 。」
「这把椅子，守丘公似乎曾经坐过。」
But in Zhen Zhen Ren's virtual vision, Qian Ru Chang wasn't even considered human; he was merely a cloud of energy or an aggregation of the Way.
lǐ bù rén yě shì zhe duān zuò qí shàng 。
李不仁也试着端坐其上。
Just like how Li Fan had seen Qian Ru Chang's silver bones resembling the network of the Way earlier. Every part of his body was directly formed by strands of the Way, except for the core that controlled this body—a normal human soul.
hōng ！
轰！
"Of course, I can understand why Qian Ru Chang felt strange," he thought. "Is it a manifestation of the Way? Or is it like a Dao Network mecha?"
huà miàn shì yě dǒu rán wèi zhī yī biàn ， huǎng hū jiān lí kāi le shí yàn chǎng hé xīn de huán xíng dà tīng ， piāo chū liǎo wú shù bèi jiān shì fāng kuài xīng hǎi 。
画面视野陡然为之一变，恍惚间离开了实验场核心的环形大厅，飘出了无数被监视方块星海。
Qian Ru Chang's method indeed allowed him to harness the power of the Way with his mortal body, making him formidable even against True Immortals beneath the nameless realm.
yī yuè ér shàng ， lái dào le shí yàn chǎng zhī wài ！
一跃而上，来到了实验场之外！
However, there were obvious drawbacks. Without connecting to the Infinite Sea or truly linking up with the Way, every bit of energy consumed could not be replenished. Even though a miniature Dao Network was powerful, it couldn't last long.
lǐ bù rén kàn dào le yī piàn shú xī de xīng kōng 。
李不仁看到了一片熟悉的星空。
More crucially, the soul trapped within this micro-Dao network was constantly under the tight pressure of the Dao strings, as if being sliced and diced. The pain was unimaginable.
zhèng shì shuò xīng hǎi zhī wài de xiá cháng yān miè dì 。 shèn zhì hái néng ， yuǎn yuǎn kuī jiàn shuò xīng hǎi nèi de zhū duō fán shèng xīng guāng ！
正是朔星海之外的狭长湮灭地。甚至还能，远远窥见朔星海内的诸多繁盛星光！
This wasn't just about enduring with sheer willpower; in such pressure, the soul would inevitably be fragmented into countless pieces.
shì yě shōu jìn ， hái kě yǐ jí zhōng zài yì diǎn ， shí fēn xì zhì de guān chá réng rán jìng jìng tíng liú zài xīng kōng zhōng de dù shì xuán guān yǐ jí nà qún xiàn rù lè tǔ mèng jìng zhōng de xīn jìn xiān shòu men ！
视野收近，还可以集中在一点，十分细致的观察仍然静静停留在星空中的渡世玄棺以及那群陷入乐土梦境中的新晋仙狩们！
Even a strong soul and firm will could only slow down this process.
yīn wèi zhī qián céng yǐ zì shēn shì jiǎo zǐ xì kuī tàn guò dù shì xuán guān ， yīn ér cǐ fān yǐ lìng wài shì jiǎo chá tàn ， lǐ bù rén shùn xī zhī jiān ， jiù chá jué le liǎng zhǒng qíng kuàng xià de bù tóng 。
因为之前曾以自身视角仔细窥探过渡世玄棺，因而此番以另外视角查探，李不仁瞬息之间，就察觉了两种情况下的不同。
"Even if I had a divine power like my Wu Ji Ying Xu, it would still be useless," he thought. "At his current soul strength, he can only last for about three hundred years."
shǒu xiān chǎn shēng de gǎn jué ， jiù shì biàn niǔ 、 wǎn xī 。 jiù xiàng shì yī jiàn běn yīng wán měi wú xiá de zào wù ， piān piān duō le yī dào xiá cī yī yàng ！
首先产生的感觉，就是变扭、惋惜。就像是一件本应完美无瑕的造物，偏偏多了一道瑕疵一样！
"For mortals, that's considered long life; but in the realm of True Immortals, it's too short."
「 zhè shì ， wǒ yǐ 【 zhēn yǐ jiǎ 】 shén tōng ， zài dù shì xuán guān shàng zào chéng de nà yī lǚ shāng hén 。 wǒ zì jǐ dōu méi yǒu bàn fǎ kàn qīng chǔ ， rán ér zài zhè shì jiǎo xià ， zhè zhǒng bù wán měi què néng xiān háo bì xiàn ……」
「这是，我以【真以假】神通，在渡世玄棺上造成的那一缕伤痕。我自己都没有办法看清楚，然而在这视角下，这种不完美却能纤毫毕现……」
Li Fan turned to Wuxian.
qiáng rěn zhù xīn zhōng de nán shòu ， lǐ bù rén jì xù shěn shì zhe nà jù xuán guān 。
强忍住心中的难受，李不仁继续审视着那具玄棺。
He claimed to sever all connections with the world, but Li Fan saw through this facade. If everyone was a projection of the Way from some angle, rich and complex, then Wuxian had reduced himself to a 'skinny bamboo pole,' minimizing his connection with the Way.
zhōu wéi xīng kōng ， tiān dì dà dào 。 fǎng fú huà zuò le qǐ fú bù dìng de bō làng 。 ér zài zhè hào miǎo wú biān de hǎi yáng zhōng ， dù shì xuán guān ， wǎn ruò yī yè piān zhōu 。
周围星空，天地大道。仿佛化作了起伏不定的波浪。而在这浩渺无边的海洋中，渡世玄棺，宛若一页扁舟。
Indeed, he seemed disconnected from other things in the universe. But fundamentally, it wasn't about nothingness; it was more like solitude or isolation.
suī nán yǐ bì miǎn de réng yào suí bō zhú liú ， dàn yī jiù néng ān wěn dù guò wú jìn fēng yǔ làng cháo 。
虽难以避免的仍要随波逐流，但依旧能安稳度过无尽风雨浪潮。
"This immortal has reached the end of their cultivation journey, not the profound and mysterious path of non-existence but becoming a part of the laws of nature while still maintaining independence," Li Fan thought. "The moment of great accomplishment is also the time of small liberation."
ruò shì méi yǒu nà dào xiá cī de huà 。
若是没有那道瑕疵的话。
"Truly, it's no wonder he has survived until now!"
「 duō le zhè wǒ zào chéng de xiá cī ， jiù xiàng shì chuán shēn shàng duō le yī tiáo fèng 。」
「多了这我造成的瑕疵，就像是船身上多了一条缝。」
With one glance, Li Fan praised him.
「 hǎi shuǐ shùn zhe liè xì màn màn shèn tòu 。 ruò shì réng xiǎng yào yǐ cǐ dù hǎi ， zuì zhōng jié jú ， wú kě bì miǎn de jiù shì chén lún hǎi dǐ 。」
「海水顺着裂隙慢慢渗透。若是仍想要以此渡海，最终结局，无可避免的就是沉沦海底。」
Using Zhen Zhen Ren's virtual shadow to observe from above, it was clear what they were dealing with. As Li Fan observed, Qian Ru Chang and Wuxian seemed to have planned their escape in advance, using the utmost of their abilities to move in different directions simultaneously.
shì xiàn fǎng fú tiào guò le shí jiān cháng hé ， kàn dào le wèi lái 。 zhè bìng fēi shì jī yú tuī yǎn ， ér shì zhí jiē chū xiàn zài lǐ bù rén yǎn qián de huà miàn 。
视线仿佛跳过了时间长河，看到了未来。这并非是基于推衍，而是直接出现在李不仁眼前的画面。
Zhen Ren increased his use of the virtual shadow, giving a final look. The ever-changing Way within this region was frozen.
「 zhè zhǒng gǎn jué ……」
「这种感觉……」
Qian Ru Chang and Wuxian were like insects trapped in a web, unable to move!
The true essence of Zhen Ren felt a surge of excitement far greater than that of Zhen Ren himself.
"Having Zhen Ren, all the treasures in this world have lost their value to me," he thought with joy. "As long as I want it, even the most precious and rare things can be transformed into an infinite amount."
