jiù hǎo sì yǐ jīng yǔn luò de wú míng zhēn xiān ， zì kū gǔ shàng chóng shēng 。
就好似已经陨落的无名真仙，自枯骨上重生。
It seemed as though some conscious awareness of the Primordial Bone had been trying to follow him, and when two identical bones overlapped, there were signs that a Primordial Bone figure might have appeared.
guāng xiàn yuè dòng 、 biàn huàn ， mó hú de rén yǐng zì zhòng hé de zhēn xiān zhī gǔ shàng xiǎn xiàn 。
光线跃动、变幻，模糊的人影自重合的真仙之骨上显现。
"Unlike the independent existence of the Dao-passing shadow," Li Fan thought, "even if it can be temporarily abandoned, but..."
rén yǐng zhōu zāo xiān yù ， yǐ qí zhōng xīn ， jǐng xiàng jìn shù niǔ qū 。 sì hū zhè zūn wú míng ， zài pái chì zhe gòu chéng xiān yù de suǒ yǒu dà dào fǎ zé 。
人影周遭仙域，以其中心，景象尽数扭曲。似乎这尊无名，在排斥着构成仙域的所有大道法则。
Li Fan pondered: "After transcending from the small possibilities, the great transcendence where all possibilities converge is truly the true transcendence. To take that step, I must reclaim my left-behind items."
ér lǐ fán jiè zhù shǒu qiū gōng xū yǐng de lì liàng ， gèng shì yǐn yǐn kàn chū ， wú míng shēn yǐng suǒ zuò de bìng fēi shì wán quán de bìn chì 。 zài xiān míng de gēn xiān yù zhī dào fēn lí kāi lái hòu ， hái qiāo wú shēng xī de zhuǎn huà zhe zhōu wéi suǒ jiē chù dào de yī qiè 。 bìng jiāng qí róng rù jǐ shēn 。
而李凡借助守丘公虚影的力量，更是隐隐看出，无名身影所做的并非是完全的摈斥。在鲜明的跟仙域之道分离开来后，还悄无声息的转化着周围所接触到的一切。并将其融入己身。
He understood why some transcended true immortals were unwilling to leave behind Dao-restraining artifacts.
huò xǔ yòng 「 xī shōu 」 lái xíng róng ， bìng bù qià dàng 。「 zhuǎn huà 」 èr zì ， cái gèng jiā de tiē qiè 。
或许用「吸收」来形容，并不恰当。「转化」二字，才更加的贴切。
The aftereffects of using the Shadow of the Mountain and Sea's power had completely dissipated as Li Fan used the two Primordial Bones as immortal pillars. They indeed relieved some of the pressure on the shadow's Dao-passing existence, allowing him to use about one and a third of the Primordial Bone's power at will.
nà xiē xiāo shī de xiān yù bù fèn ， bìng méi yǒu bèi wú míng xiān shēn yǐng suǒ xī qǔ 。 ér shì zài mò cè lì liàng de yǐng xiǎng xià ， chéng wéi le gēn nà dào rén yǐng běn zhì jìn hū xiāng tóng de cún zài 。
那些消失的仙域部分，并没有被无名仙身影所吸取。而是在莫测力量的影响下，成为了跟那道人影本质近乎相同的存在。
"Considering Li Nuren's directional changes, I no longer have to worry about sudden collapses or the arrival of the Dao-restraining calamity."
zhè yī qiè ， zhèng gēn lǐ fán céng jīng suǒ jiàn de dì yī cì xiān yù zhǎn kāi 、 wú zì bēi chū shí de chǎng jǐng rú chū yī zhé 。
这一切，正跟李凡曾经所见的第一次仙域展开、无字碑出时的场景如出一辙。
Of course, as time passed, the pressure from the Dao-restraining would increase, gradually weakening his ability to use it.
wàn wù fù guī yuán shǐ ， fǎn huí wú zì bēi shàng ； dào zhī yǎn huà ， sù fǎn dào zhī yuán qǐ ！
万物复归原始，返回无字碑上；道之衍化，溯反道之原起！
However, he was quite satisfied with this result. "In other words, if I can capture another nameless true immortal and use them as an immortal pillar, I could further divide my power."
zhè yī kè ， lǐ fán kàn qīng chǔ le zhè zūn wú míng xiān shēn yǐng suǒ hé zhī dào 。
这一刻，李凡看清楚了这尊无名仙身影所合之道。
"Until I fully liberate the Shadow of the Mountain and Sea's power."
「【 yuán shǐ 】。」
「【元始】。」
While Li Fan was daydreaming about his future, the terrible condition of Li Nuren's divine consciousness suddenly pulled him back to reality.
zhè liǎng gè zì de fèn liàng zhī zhòng ， wú xū duō yán 。
这两个字的分量之重，无需多言。
Using the Shadow of the Mountain and Sea repeatedly had caused excessive forceful erosion beyond what he could handle. His divine consciousness projection seemed to be distorted and even temporarily disconnected from his main body.
kě zhòng lì dì huǒ shuǐ fēng ， shǐ de yī fāng shì jiè huí guī chū kāi zhuàng tài 。
可重立地火水风，使得一方世界回归初开状态。
Li Fan did not rush; instead, he remained in command as he slowly restored the Dao-passing network projection while injecting a thread of the Black Death Immortal Soul's power into the reborn divine consciousness.
yuán běn shì dǐ yù yī fāng dào yān de xiān tiān zhù ， zài xiǎn huà chū zhēn shēn hòu ， què huà zuò le tūn shì xiān yù de xuán wō yuán quán 。
原本是抵御一方道湮的仙天柱，在显化出真身后，却化作了吞噬仙域的漩涡源泉。
"Black mist is a sign that the Dao-restraining calamity is imminent."
xiān yù wài jiè de sù dù ， bǐ qǐ lǐ fán yù xiǎng zhōng de hái yào kuài 。
仙域外界的速度，比起李凡预想中的还要快。
"It's like waves crashing against the mountain," or "like the fusion between mountains and seas." Li Fan's eyes shone with insight as he injected more black-colored energy. The previously pure, dazzling Dao-passing network projection now seemed to be enveloped in a shadowy border.
gèng ràng lǐ fán xīn shén yī lǐn de shì ， suí zhe cǐ fāng kōng jiān dào zhī yuán shǐ de zēng duō ， wú míng xiān de shēn yǐng ， yě chóng xīn biàn dé mó hú qǐ lái 。 jiù hǎo xiàng suí shí dōu yào cóng cǐ chù xū yǐng kōng jiān zhōng dùn zǒu yì bān 。
更让李凡心神一凛的是，随着此方空间道之元始的增多，无名仙的身影，也重新变得模糊起来。就好像随时都要从此处虚影空间中遁走一般。
Although it still illuminated all the celestial paths, there was something different about it. In his instinctive perception, this projection felt "stronger" than before.
jí biàn jiè zhù shǒu qiū gōng xū yǐng de mù guāng ， yě kāi shǐ yǒu xiē bǎ wò bú zhù 【 yuán shǐ 】 de jù tǐ suǒ zài le 。
即便借助守丘公虚影的目光，也开始有些把握不住【元始】的具体所在了。
Li Fan did not rush to test anything; instead, he repeatedly painted with a thick brush, and over time, Li Nuren's divine consciousness became solid and real as if it were materializing from the Dao-passing network projection.
xīn zhī chí zé shēng biàn ， lǐ fán bù zài yóu yù 。
心知迟则生变，李凡不再犹豫。
The Black Death Immortal Soul's power filled in the gaps like flesh and blood. Under Li Fan's meticulous crafting, a new body was born.
tài shī yǐ shàng ， wǎn ruò qiān wàn yì kē chāo xīn xīng tóng shí bào fā 。 lǐ bù rén shén niàn de tóu yǐng dào wǎng ， shà shí biàn chéng yī tuán yào yǎn wú bǐ de bái guāng 。
太师椅上，宛若千万亿颗超新星同时爆发。李不仁神念的投影道网，霎时变成一团耀眼无比的白光。
Li Nuren clenched his fist; although he no longer had an immortal realm body, he felt stronger than before.
ér zài xū yǐng kōng jiān zhōng ， yī shuāng yǒu xíng jù shǒu ， zhòu rán jiàng lín 。
而在虚影空间中，一双有形巨手，骤然降临。
Looking at the dissipating black clouds of Dao-restraining calamity in the test field sky, Li Nuren swallowed them without emotion. The immense black mist churned inside him, but only caused intense pain. His body remained intact, unlike if it were a fragment of the Immortal Realm body that would have disintegrated.
yú xū huàn jiàng lín zhì xiàn shí ， jiāng chù zài fēn bēng lí xī xiān yù zhōng yāng de 【 yuán shǐ 】， gěi měng rán zuàn zhù 。
于虚幻降临至现实，将处在分崩离析仙域中央的【元始】，给猛然攥住。
"Indeed." The validation of his theory was confirmed as he felt the turmoil in his stomach. "The collision between mountains and seas."
jiāng zhí zhǐ chí xù le jǐ xī shí jiān ， biàn hěn kuài fēn chū le shèng fù 。
僵直只持续了几息时间，便很快分出了胜负。
His thoughts seemed to transport him back to the hundred-plus years recorded in the Shadow of the Mountain and Sea's writings, where vast oceans continuously washed over the mountain beneath them.
ér zài zhè chǎng duì kàng zhī zhōng ， lǐ fán yě kuī tàn le shuāng fāng lì liàng de xiē xǔ duān ní 。
而在这场对抗之中，李凡也窥探了双方力量的些许端倪。
Each impact brought changes to the world.
yuán shǐ ， nǎi shì dào zhī zuì chū 。 suī shén shèng 、 bù kě zhuō mō ， què réng shì dào zhī lì liàng de tǐ xiàn 。
元始，乃是道之最初。虽神圣、不可捉摸，却仍是道之力量的体现。
"Too bad. The inheritance of the Shadow of the Mountain and Sea was shared among other immortal realms, so I couldn't fully understand the essence of mountains and seas." After long observation and contemplation, he reluctantly withdrew from that mystical state.
ér shǒu qiū gōng de lì liàng qì xī ， zé shì sì hū gèng jiē jìn 【 shān yǔ hǎi 】。 nǎ pà zài sān qiān dà dào zhōng chāo rán dì wèi de 【 yuán shǐ 】， yě yào guāi guāi shòu fù 。
而守丘公的力量气息，则是似乎更接近【山与海】。哪怕在三千大道中超然地位的【元始】，也要乖乖受缚。
Mountains and seas were not worldly things; even just imagining them brought changes to Li Fan's life span.
「 zòng rán zhè hái gǔ zhǐ shì dài biǎo 【 yuán shǐ 】 de yī bù fèn lì liàng 。 dàn yǔ qí kàng héng de yě jǐn jǐn shì shǒu qiū gōng suǒ liú xū yǐng 。」
「纵然这骸骨只是代表【元始】的一部分力量。但与其抗衡的也仅仅是守丘公所留虚影。」
After entering the semi-immortal realm, his lifespan was infinite—equivalent to 736,000 years in this world. Although it wasn't a fixed number, it would fluctuate with his actions but only within the thousands or hundreds.
「 cǐ kè suǒ guān biàn huà ， zú yǐ kě jiàn ， shǒu qiū gōng de shí lì gèng zài 【 yuán shǐ 】 zhī shàng 。」
「此刻所观变化，足以可见，守丘公的实力更在【元始】之上。」
Now, however, his lifespan had drastically reduced by one-third!
「 shǒu qiū wàng hǎi ……」
「守丘望海……」
Li Fan stared at that number, his expression becoming somewhat peculiar.
yǐ yī jǐ zhī lì ， duì kàng shèn zhì néng yān miè dà dào de zāi huò ， zhè xiǎn rán yǐ jīng chāo chū 「 xiū xiān wù dào zhě 」 de néng lì shàng xiàn 。
以一己之力，对抗甚至能湮灭大道的灾祸，这显然已经超出「修仙悟道者」的能力上限。
"Logically speaking, the stronger my power, the higher the chance of saving this world."
「 yù hǎi zhě ， wéi shān ěr 。」
「御海者，唯山尔。」
"Theoretically, the number should have increased," he thought. "Why does investigating the secrets of mountains and seas reduce the future existence of this world?"
「 bù guò ， zhè 【 shān 】， yòu jiū jìng shì zhǐ de shén me ne ？」
「不过，这【山】，又究竟是指的什么呢？」
He could not fathom it, but clearly, it was a bad omen.
yuán shǐ xū yǐng jiàng lín de jīng tiān dòng dì ， què bèi zhèn yā de qiāo wú shēng xī 。
元始虚影降临的惊天动地，却被镇压的悄无声息。
Li Fan decided to stop for now. "The secrets of mountains and seas are still beyond my current reach."
zài lǐ bù rén jīng què de cāo zòng xià ， bèi nà shuāng yǒu xíng dà shǒu ， gēn shèng yú de xiān yù yǐ jí wú zì bēi suì piàn yì qǐ ， yā suō chéng le yī gēn gū líng líng de shí zhù 。
在李不仁精确的操纵下，被那双有形大手，跟剩余的仙域以及无字碑碎片一起，压缩成了一根孤零零的石柱。
"First, I need to strengthen my body and increase its capacity before fully utilizing the Shadow of the Mountain and Sea's power."
ér hòu cháo zhe gāo qiáng nèi shí yàn chǎng xīng kōng zhōng ， dào yān hēi qì chū xiàn zuì pín fán de qū yù ， měng dì tóu qù 。
而后朝着高墙内实验场星空中，道湮黑气出现最频繁的区域，猛地投去。
"If I can fully develop that power, it should be enough to navigate this broken possibility."
xiào guǒ kě wèi shì lì gān jiàn yǐng 。
效果可谓是立竿见影。
For Li Fan, the test field's shadow energy was like a balance. To use the Shadow of the Mountain and Sea's power, he had to first match its weight.
nà lìng rén xīn jì de yǐn huì bō dòng ， fǎng fú cóng wèi cún zài guò yī yàng ， shùn jiān xiāo shī wú zōng 。
那令人心悸的隐晦波动，仿佛从未存在过一样，瞬间消失无踪。
"I currently have access to only one-third plus an additional third of the Primordial Bone's power. Even if it's just a fragment, it shouldn't be weaker than other nameless true immortals."
yuán běn bú huì wú gù xiāo shī 、 zhǐ huì yù yǎn yù liè de dào yān hēi qì ， yě rú wú yuán zhī shuǐ bān 、 chéng xiàn màn màn xiāo sàn de zhuàng tài 。
原本不会无故消失、只会愈演愈烈的道湮黑气，也如无源之水般、呈现慢慢消散的状态。
"Even if I can't, I can still liberate more Shadow of the Mountain and Sea's power."
「 bù kuì shì 【 yuán shǐ 】， zài tiān dì wú shù dà dào fǎ zé zhōng ， zhàn jù le jué duì zhòng yào de yī huán 。 zhī chēng dào yān de xiào guǒ ， bǐ wǒ xiǎng xiàng zhōng de hái yào hǎo 。」
「不愧是【元始】，在天地无数大道法则中，占据了绝对重要的一环。支撑道湮的效果，比我想象中的还要好。」
Li Fan pondered his next target.
「 nán guài huì xuǎn qí wèi zhù jiù nán xiān tiān zhù de cái liào 。」 lǐ fán guān chá zhe nà gēn 【 dào zhù 】。
「难怪会选其为筑就南仙天柱的材料。」李凡观察着那根【道柱】。
There were few known nameless true immortals left.
zài zuì chū de xiǎn xíng hòu ， zhǐ shì jǐ xī shí jiān guò qù ， cǐ kè yǐ jīng gēn rú bīng rù shuǐ 、 róng yú tiān dì dà dào zhī zhōng 。
在最初的显形后，只是几息时间过去，此刻已经跟如冰入水、融于天地大道之中。
His first target was beyond the Yellow-Black World in the immortal wasteland. Besides the Starving Immortal who seemed to be nearing a true immortal, there might also be the power from the previous Starving Immortal's remains that she used to support the Dao-restraining calamity.
ròu yǎn fán tāi ， wú yuán dé jiàn 。
肉眼凡胎，无缘得见。
Although the Starving Immortal was unaware of being trampled by Xie Su Bai, Li Fan still needed careful planning due to his current strength.
jí biàn shì lǐ fán běn zūn ， yě zhǐ néng yǐn yuē qiáo chū nà fāng kōng jiān sì hū yǒu shén me bú duì jìn de dōng xī cún zài 。 què wú fǎ jiū gēn wèn dǐ 。
即便是李凡本尊，也只能隐约瞧出那方空间似乎有什么不对劲的东西存在。却无法究根问底。
Li Fan wanted not just a true immortal with current power but also the true Starving Immortal who had achieved the nameless realm.
wéi yǒu jiè zhù shǒu qiū gōng shì xiàn ， cái néng jiāng qí dòng chá 。
唯有借助守丘公视线，才能将其洞察。
