wú lùn shì zhēn xiān ， yì huò zhě qián ruò cháng de dào wǎng wài shēn 。
无论是真仙，亦或者钱若常的道网外身。
Regardless of which fundamental law of the universe Li Fan, who had mastered the True Reality, was most interested in, it would definitely be this power to reverse time. What exactly did the difference between True Reality and False Reality entail? More importantly, if he could master this power, could he return to and anchor himself in a time one year prior?
dà dǐ dōu shì yī zhàng de 【 dào 】 de lì liàng 。
大抵都是依仗的【道】的力量。
Alas, this "Reverser" was truly mysterious. Even within the Divine Hunt, only some traces hinted at his existence; other details were unknown.
cǐ kè miàn duì shǒu qiū gōng de xū yǐng ， zhè duì 【 dào 】 de lǐ jiě yuǎn chāo tā men de cún zài 。 yī qiè shén tōng 、 shǒu duàn ， jìn shù shī xiào le 。
此刻面对守丘公的虚影，这对【道】的理解远超他们的存在。一切神通、手段，尽数失效了。
In contrast to Qian's various speculations, Wuxu's thoughts seemed much simpler, pointing to just one possibility: the Inscribed Dao Immortal!
zài lǐ fán de shì jiǎo xià ， cǐ fāng yān miè dì xīng kōng zhōng bìng bù zěn me nóng yù de dào zé ， shà shí jiān quán dōu bèi shǒu qiū gōng xū yǐng gěi xī yǐn guò qù 。
在李凡的视角下，此方湮灭地星空中并不怎么浓郁的道则，霎时间全都被守丘公虚影给吸引过去。
From the images that flashed in Wuxu's mind, he had seen the true迹 of the Inscribed Dao Immortal's daoist writings when he was still alive in the immortal realm. Therefore, he could clearly recognize the immense power of the Inscribed Dao Immortal.
wǎn ruò dà hǎi zhōng tū wù yǒng xiàn de jù dà xuán wō ， zhàn jù le jué duì de yōu xiān quán 。
宛若大海中突兀涌现的巨大漩涡，占据了绝对的优先权。
Thus, upon achieving his own cultivation, and being easily suppressed as a plaything by someone else, his first thought was that it must be the Inscribed Dao Immortal.
ér qián ruò cháng gēn wú xiān ， zé shì bù kě bì miǎn de shòu dào le bō jí 。
而钱若常跟无仙，则是不可避免的受到了波及。
"According to Wuxu's thoughts, there are rumors that the Inscribed Dao Immortal is dead," Li Fan thought. "But he always disregards these rumors."
xiàn zài hái zhǐ shì wú fǎ zì kòng 。 ruò shì zài zhè niǔ qū de dà dào xuán wō zhōng dài de jiǔ le ， kǒng pà huì yǒu 「 shī qí dào 」 de fēng xiǎn ！
现在还只是无法自控。若是在这扭曲的大道漩涡中待的久了，恐怕会有「失其道」的风险！
Interestingly, Wuxu had also heard of the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas. As for why he didn't suspect it was the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas...
kàn zhe zhēng zhá bù yǐ 、 què gēn běn wú kě nài hé de èr xiān ， lǐ fán xīn cháo qǐ fú bù zhǐ 。
看着挣扎不已、却根本无可奈何的二仙，李凡心潮起伏不止。
"Even with such great power, the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas would not do such cruel things to a weak person," Li Fan thought as he shook his head.
「 zhè qí zhōng huò xǔ yě yǒu zhè piàn xīng kōng zāo shòu guò dào yān zhī jié ， yǐ jīng shì cuì ruò bù kān de zhuàng tài de yuán gù 。 dàn zuì zhǔ yào de ， hái shì shǒu qiū gōng běn zūn de shí lì ， yǐ jīng dá dào le mò cè zhī jìng 。 gù ér zhǐ shì diào yòng le wǔ dào xū yǐng de yī xiǎo bù fèn lì liàng ， dōu néng jiāng liǎng wèi zhēn xiān gěi shùn jiān zhèn yā ！」
「这其中或许也有这片星空遭受过道湮之劫，已经是脆弱不堪的状态的缘故。但最主要的，还是守丘公本尊的实力，已经达到了莫测之境。故而只是调用了五道虚影的一小部分力量，都能将两位真仙给瞬间镇压！」
The presence of the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas' virtual shadow made the atmosphere around Li Boren's body increasingly rugged. Even the countless experimental spaces, including the Dark Sea, emitted faint rumbling sounds, like signs of an impending tide.
lǐ fán zhè biān zhèng zài sī suǒ de shí hòu ， chǎng zhōng bèi zhì zhù de qián ruò cháng gēn wú xiān ， yǐ jīng shì lěng hàn zhí liú le 。
李凡这边正在思索的时候，场中被制住的钱若常跟无仙，已经是冷汗直流了。
Using his boundless dream state to sense everything, Li Fan also detected a strand of Dao Annihilation black qi spontaneously generated in the Dark Sea.
tā men zì xǔ dōu shì zài jǐ fāng shì lì zhōng ， wèi yú dǐng jiān qiáng zhě zhī liè 。
他们自诩都是在己方势力中，位于顶尖强者之列。
"Like a great dam controlling floods, even if I only used some of it, the floodwaters inevitably seeped through," Li Fan thought. He had anticipated this but hadn't expected it to come so quickly.
què bù xiǎng bèi zhè shén mì rén wù ， zhè bān suí yì ná niē ！
却不想被这神秘人物，这般随意拿捏！
With a mental command, Li Boren leaped from his master's chair. His body trembled uncontrollably as he tried to escape the influence of the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas' virtual shadow, attempting to weaken its impact.
liǎng rén xīn niàn jí zhuǎn ， jù shì sī kǎo zhe zhè shén mì rén kě néng de lái lì 。
两人心念急转，俱是思考着这神秘人可能的来历。
Without the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas' intimidation, Qian and Wuxu could now move freely.
ér lǐ fán yě jiù shì zài zhè ge shí hòu fā xiàn ， tā jìng néng yǐn yuē kuī jiàn liǎng wèi zhēn xiān jí bié rén wù de nèi xīn bō dòng 。
而李凡也就是在这个时候发现，他竟能隐约窥见两位真仙级别人物的内心波动。
But they did not leave easily. Seeing Ma Tiande's smirking expression, their faces showed a sense of unease as they bowed in unison after some hesitation.
bìng fēi shì xiàng tiān yī de 【 wàng wén wèn qiè 】 zhī shù bān ， mó hú 、 dà gài de qíng xù zǒu xiàng 。
并非是像天医的【望闻问切】之术般，模糊、大概的情绪走向。
They believed that someone who could instantly suppress them must not be playing with them for no reason.
ér shì jù tǐ de nǎo hǎi chéng xiàn de yī fú fú huà miàn ！
而是具体的脑海呈现的一幅幅画面！
Looking at the "newly appointed immortal ship" before him, Qian's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. "It should be that my body is controlled by possession."
suī rán bàn suí zhe sī xù de bō dòng ， bìng bú shì měi yí mù dōu shí fēn qīng xī 。 dàn zhè zhǒng zhēn zhèng 「 kuī xīn 」 de néng lì ， hái shì ràng lǐ fán dà wèi zhèn dòng 。
虽然伴随着思绪的波动，并不是每一幕都十分清晰。但这种真正「窥心」的能力，还是让李凡大为震动。
"This Transcending World玄棺,
yào zhī dào ， zhè 「 kuī xīn 」 de duì xiàng ， kě bú shì shén me fán rén 、 ruò zhě 。 ér shì huò zhēn jià shí de zhēn xiān ！ bìng qiě qián ruò cháng gēn wú xiān ， dōu yǐ jīng shì jiē jìn wú míng zhī jìng de le ！
要知道，这「窥心」的对象，可不是什么凡人、弱者。而是货真价实的真仙！并且钱若常跟无仙，都已经是接近无名之境的了！
is it truly capable of transcending the world?"
「 dà dǐ shì yīn wèi ， méi yǒu chāo tuō zhī qián ， bì jìng dōu hái shì dào zhī zào wù 。 wú lùn shì yī jǔ yī dòng ， yì huò zhě shén sī míng xiǎng ， dōu tuō lí bù liǎo tiān dì dà dào 。 duì dào de rèn zhī yuè shì qīng xī ， yuè néng gǎn zhī de qīng chǔ shēng líng zài dào zhōng de biàn huà 。」
「大抵是因为，没有超脱之前，毕竟都还是道之造物。无论是一举一动，亦或者神思冥想，都脱离不了天地大道。对道的认知越是清晰，越能感知的清楚生灵在道中的变化。」
Li Fan did not waste time or engage in small talk; he directly asked.
「 yì shí zhōng zuì zài yì de ， yǐn fā de bō dòng jiù yuè míng xiǎn 。 ruò shì yǒu shǒu qiū gōng nà yàng de qiáng zhě xiàn yú wǒ miàn qián ， ér wǒ běn néng de hū huàn 【 hái zhēn 】 zhòng kāi de huà ， yīng gāi shùn jiān jiù huì bèi qí fā xiàn 。 chóng yǎn tiān yī jiù shì 。」
「意识中最在意的，引发的波动就越明显。若是有守丘公那样的强者现于我面前，而我本能的呼唤【还真】重开的话，应该瞬间就会被其发现。重演天医旧事。」
Qian and Wuxu were slightly taken aback.
「 nán guài dāng chū hēi tiān yī shàng wèi lái lín shí ， wǒ xīn zhōng jǐng zhào yī rán jí wéi qiáng liè 。 ruò fēi guǒ duàn zǎo zǎo hái zhēn ， kǒng pà ……」
「难怪当初黑天医尚未来临时，我心中警兆依然极为强烈。若非果断早早还真，恐怕……」
"Indeed, it can transcend the world," Qian quickly responded with certainty.
gǎn dào yǒu xiē hòu pà de lǐ fán ， bìng méi yǒu chén jìn zài kǒng jù de qíng xù zhōng 。 ér shì zì rán ér rán de ， dì yī shí jiān jiù xiǎng yào xún zhǎo zháo bì miǎn bèi kuī xīn de bàn fǎ 。
感到有些后怕的李凡，并没有沉浸在恐惧的情绪中。而是自然而然的，第一时间就想要寻找着避免被窥心的办法。
Wuxu added: "It is said that this coffin was crafted from the remains of a transcendent being, thus able to cross the boundless sea and reach the other shore. This is why I risked everything at the last moment to rush in."
「 huì bèi gǎn zhī ， jiē yīn yǐn qǐ dào zhī biàn dòng 。 wǎn ruò zhuì rù píng jìng shuǐ miàn ， nǎ pà zài zěn me xì wēi ， yě huì yǐn qǐ sī sī lián yī 。 ruò shì xiǎng yào bì miǎn ……」
「会被感知，皆因引起道之变动。宛若坠入平静水面，哪怕再怎么细微，也会引起丝丝涟漪。若是想要避免……」
"Unlucky for me," Qian coldly laughed upon hearing this.
yǒu zhe shǒu qiū gōng xū yǐng jiā chí ， lǐ fán dé yǐ zài gēn běn shàng ， xún qiú jiě jué zhī dào 。
有着守丘公虚影加持，李凡得以在根本上，寻求解决之道。
Li Fan did not comment on their argument. Even though he could no longer read minds, he could see that Wuxu seemed somewhat disappointed. He had likely used some method to determine that Li Fan's "senior" was not the Inscribed Dao Immortal.
hěn kuài tā jiù fā xiàn le ， mù qián wéi zhǐ zuì shì hé 、 yě kě shuō shì jī hū wèi tā liàng shēn dìng zuò de fāng fǎ 。
很快他就发现了，目前为止最适合、也可说是几乎为他量身定做的方法。
Ignoring their inner thoughts, Li Fan stood with his hands behind his back and sighed in imitation of the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas.
「 zhǐ yào wǒ hái huó zhe ， xīn niàn de bō dòng jiù wú fǎ bì miǎn 。」
「只要我还活着，心念的波动就无法避免。」
"In times of great calamity, where is true safety?"
「 shǒu qiū gōng wàng hǎi yì bǎi jì ， wǒ jiù suàn zài zěn me qí yù ， duì dào de rèn zhī 、 liǎo jiě yě jué bù kě néng chāo guò tā 。 hēi tiān yī nà bān néng gòu héng kuà kě néng xìng tūn shì qí tā zì jǐ de cún zài ， yě bì dìng zài wǒ zhī shàng 。 zài tā men miàn qián ， xiǎng yào wěi zhuāng 。 nán nán nán ……」
「守丘公望海一百纪，我就算再怎么奇遇，对道的认知、了解也绝不可能超过他。黑天医那般能够横跨可能性吞噬其他自己的存在，也必定在我之上。在他们面前，想要伪装。难难难……」
"Transcending the world, transcending the world. It's merely self-deception, moving from one lowland to another."
「 wéi yī kě xíng de fāng fǎ ， jiù shì jiāng zì shēn shén niàn yǐn qǐ de bō dòng ， jǐn kě néng de yǐn yú hóng guān zhī zhōng 。 yī dī shuǐ là xià yǐn qǐ de lián yī ， zài xiá xiǎo de chí táng zhī zhōng ， shèn shì xǐng mù 。 dàn hào miǎo wú biān de hǎi yáng zhōng ， zì fā shēng chéng 、 ér fēi wài wù yǐn qǐ de diǎn dī bō dòng ， zé jī hū bù huì bèi fā xiàn 。」
「唯一可行的方法，就是将自身神念引起的波动，尽可能的隐于宏观之中。一滴水落下引起的涟漪，在狭小的池塘之中，甚是醒目。但浩渺无边的海洋中，自发生成、而非外物引起的点滴波动，则几乎不会被发现。」
Qian and Wuxu did not seem surprised by Li Fan's words.
「 xīn niàn huà shén 、 tóu yǐng dào wǎng ！」
「心念化神、投影道网！」
"There will always be a true other shore," Wuxu said with an uncertain tone.
lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī dào jīng guāng ：「 wǒ suǒ tóu yǐng dào wǎng yù jiē jìn zhēn shí de tiān dì dà dào ， zì shēn de yǐn bì xìng jiù yuè qiáng 。 xiàn zài de shuǐ píng me ……」
李凡眼中闪过一道精光：「我所投影道网愈接近真实的天地大道，自身的隐蔽性就越强。现在的水平么……」
"Yes, too bad; we only have seven million years left, which might not be enough." Li Fan echoed his words.
mǎ tiān dé pèi hé zhe ， gù yì xiá xiǎng 。
马天得配合着，故意遐想。
With a wave of his hand, Li Boren used the Great Master of the Mountains and Seas' virtual shadow to retrieve the Transcending World玄棺.
zài shǒu
在守
Qian and Wuxu did not show any unusual expressions in response to Li Fan's bold move.
qiū gōng xū yǐng de zhù shì xià ， suǒ sī suǒ xiǎng ， shí yǒu bā jiǔ 、 jiē bèi bǔ zhuō 。
丘公虚影的注视下，所思所想，十有八九、皆被捕捉。
From their words, Li Fan guessed that perhaps the immortal realm and the Starless Sea knew more about the great calamity of the mortal world than they did.
「 kàn lái xiǎng yào zài chāo tuō qiáng zhě miàn qián ， yǐn cáng shén sī ， hái chà de yǒu diǎn yuǎn 。」 lǐ fán duì zì jǐ de zhēn zhèng shí lì ， hái shì yǒu shí fēn qīng xī rèn zhī de 。 gù ér yě méi yǒu jǔ sàng 。
「看来想要在超脱强者面前，隐藏神思，还差的有点远。」李凡对自己的真正实力，还是有十分清晰认知的。故而也没有沮丧。
But for specific numbers regarding the end times, they might not know. Indeed, upon hearing the word "seven million," both were visibly shaken.
zhù yì lì chóng xīn jí zhōng zài qián ruò cháng gēn wú xiān nèi xīn de xiǎng fǎ shàng 。
注意力重新集中在钱若常跟无仙内心的想法上。
