第1490章 坟风拂仙界

chú le duì hóng huāng xiān jiè de jǐ duō huí wèi zhī wài ， hùn dùn wú míng gèng zài yì de shì nà wèi yǐn dì běn shēn 。

除了对洪荒仙界的几多回味之外，混沌无名更在意的是那位隐帝本身。

In addition to the other unnamed beings, the strength of that隐帝surely falls short of the Four Sovereigns of the Primordial Era. However, having already embarked on the path of transformation into a sovereign, for him to paint true immortals and transcend might not be too difficult.

yīn wèi zài xiān jiè guò qù de gǔ lǎo chuán wén zhōng ， xiān jiè shèng zhě ， yǒu zhe diǎn huà zhēn xiān chāo tuō de wú shàng dà shén tōng 。

因为在仙界过去的古老传闻中，仙界圣者，有着点画真仙超脱的无上大神通。

After all, the numerous Heavenly Emperors and traces of the Heavenly Trace in that Primordial Era Immortal Realm indicate his close connection with the Infinite Sea. And crossing over to the other side is crucial for transcendence.

“ xiān jiè zì pò miè hòu ， sì shèng jūn yě jù shì xiāo shī wú zōng 。 ruò shì zhè wèi zǒu chū le 【 huà shèng 】 zhī lù ， nà me shì fǒu ……” hùn dùn wú míng měi měi niàn jí cǐ chù ， xīn zhōng dōu wú fǎ yì zhì de yǒng qǐ zài dù fǎn huí 、 shuō shén me yě yào qīn zì bài fǎng nà wèi yǐn dì de niàn tou 。

“仙界自破灭后，四圣君也俱是消失无踪。若是这位走出了【化圣】之路，那么是否……”混沌无名每每念及此处，心中都无法抑制的涌起再度返回、说什么也要亲自拜访那位隐帝的念头。

...

bù guò bì jìng zhèng dào duō nián ， hùn dùn hái shì yǒu xiē chén dé zhù dǐ qì de 。

不过毕竟证道多年，混沌还是有些沉得住底气的。

Chaos's thoughts swirled for a long time before he did not go to find any other unnamed beings first, but instead summoned "No Immortals" (无仙). He reasoned that among all the unnamed beings in the Northern Star Sea, this one had the most contact with the隐帝. Every errand and report over the past century was handled by him.

“ cǐ shì ， jí bù dé 。 hái xū cóng cháng jì yì 。”

“此事，急不得。还需从长计议。”

Chaos meticulously questioned No Immortal about every detail of his interactions with the隐帝. He attempted to deduce the nature of the hidden emperor from these details.

“ zuì hǎo kě yǐ lián xì qí tā jǐ wèi yì qǐ 。 bì jìng zhǐ wǒ yī rén ， kǒng pà nán rù shèng zhě fǎ yǎn 。”

“最好可以联系其他几位一起。毕竟只我一人，恐怕难入圣者法眼。”

"Seems like it's not particularly difficult to approach."

hùn dùn wú míng sī cǔn zhe zì jǐ suǒ zhī de ， guān yú xī rì xiān jiè sì shèng jūn de zhǒng zhǒng chuán yán 。

混沌无名思忖着自己所知的，关于昔日仙界四圣君的种种传言。

"Compared to others,"

【 tài yì 】、【 lián shān 】、【 guī hǎi 】、【 jīng fén 】。

【太易】、【连山】、【归海】、【经坟】。

In Chaos's eyes, turning people into stone pillars was nothing significant. After dismissing No Immortal, Chaos pondered for a while and ultimately decided that he had to make an early decision.

tài yì shèng jūn ， jù chuán nǎi shì shì shàng dì yí gè shēng líng 。 jiàn zhèng le shì jiè cóng wú dào yǒu dàn shēng de guò chéng ， qí zhì nǎi jí 。

太易圣君，据传乃是世上第一个生灵。见证了世界从无到有诞生的过程，其智乃极。

Thus, the unnamed beings in the Northern Star Sea gathered once again.

lián shān shèng jūn ， yú 【 shàng fāng shān 】 zhōng ， kāi pì chéng xiān zhī lù 。 shì shàng dì yī xiān ， shí lì shí zài bù kě chuǎi duó 。 rú guǒ shuō yǐ shàng fāng zhī shì dìng lùn zhū wèi zhēn xiān shí lì de huà ， nà me yì lì zài shàng fāng shān zuì dǐng diǎn de ， jiù yí dìng shì zhè wèi lián shān shèng jūn 。

连山圣君，于【上方山】中，开辟成仙之路。世上第一仙，实力实在不可揣度。如果说以上方之势定论诸位真仙实力的话，那么屹立在上方山最顶点的，就一定是这位连山圣君。

The first to speak was the black-clothed white cat: "What you see is not necessarily true. The hidden emperor might not be a hidden emperor. Even if that Primordial Era Immortal Realm really was created by him, it doesn't necessarily mean he possesses real strength. After the collapse of the immortal realm, the ruling sovereign vanished without a trace. Perhaps this person just got lucky and seized power, pretending to be a deity."

guī hǎi shèng jūn ， dǎ tōng 【 wú xiàn quán 】， shǐ xiān rén shí lì zài dù zhì biàn 。 wú jìn suì yuè de kāi záo hòu ， wú xiàn quán yě huà zuò wāng yáng wú xiàn hǎi 。 shǐ de xiān jiè měi wèi zhēn xiān dōu kě yōng yǒu wú qióng wú jìn zhī zī yuán 。 yǐ hǎi zhì shān ， wēi néng bù zài lián shān shèng jūn zhī xià 。

归海圣君，打通【无限泉】，使仙人实力再度质变。无尽岁月的开凿后，无限泉也化作汪洋无限海。使得仙界每位真仙都可拥有无穷无尽之资源。以海制山，威能不在连山圣君之下。

"If he were a former ruler, wouldn't he have approached us when descending to the mortal world?"

jīng fén shèng jūn ……

经坟圣君……

"How could he quietly live as our neighbor for so many years?"

nǎo hǎi zhōng xiǎng dào zhè wèi ， hùn dùn wú míng de xīn zhōng shà shí jiān běn néng de shēng chū yī gǔ hán yì 。

脑海中想到这位，混沌无名的心中霎时间本能的生出一股寒意。

The white cat with black fur on its shoulder spoke with a hint of mockery. "That hidden emperor's territory... is somewhat suspicious." "It was once the homeland of the Holy Merchant."

àn zì sòng niàn le yī shēng ， zhè qiáng liè de wèi jù zhī gǎn fāng cái huǎn huǎn xiāo sàn 。

暗自诵念了一声，这强烈的畏惧之感方才缓缓消散。

Upon hearing the name, the expression of several true immortals changed to varying degrees. During their battles against the immortal hunters, they suffered significant losses caused by the Holy Merchant.

jīng fén shèng jūn nǎi shì xiān jiè qì xiàng dà chéng zhī hòu cái dàn shēng de ， yě shì xiān jiè lì shǐ shàng zuì hòu yī wèi zhèng dào shèng jūn 。

经坟圣君乃是仙界气象大成之后才诞生的，也是仙界历史上最后一位证道圣君。

After a moment of silence, Chaos said, "Brother Yan, I think you are overthinking it. The Holy Merchant may be powerful, but he cannot be compared to that hidden emperor."

xiān jiè suī kāi pì liǎo wú xiàn zhī fǎ ， dàn dào shēng dào sǐ 、 dào zhǎng dào xiāo ， zǒng zài tiān lǐ xún huán zhī zhōng 。 zòng shǐ xiān jiè yě wú fǎ bì miǎn 。

仙界虽开辟了无限之法，但道生道死、道长道消，总在天理循环之中。纵使仙界也无法避免。

"Indeed, they developed many tools, some even capable of severely damaging us. But none of these had any connection with the Infinite Sea. This is crucial."

rán ér xiān jiè zhī suǒ yǐ dào chù dōu shì bó bó shēng jī zhī xiāng ， bìng wú dào xiāo zhī suǒ ， quán lài zhè wèi jīng fén shèng jūn ， yǐ zì shēn wèi fén ， mái zàng zhū tiān dà dào 。 què bǎo dào xiāo dào miè ， bú huì yǐng xiǎng dào péng bó fā zhǎn zhī xiān jiè 。 dài dào dà dào lún zhuàn ， yòu zhì dào shēng dào zhǎng zhī shí ， zhè wèi jīng fén shèng jūn fāng cái jiāng dà dào shì fàng 。

然而仙界之所以到处都是勃勃生机之相，并无道消之所，全赖这位经坟圣君，以自身为坟，埋葬诸天大道。确保道消道灭，不会影响到蓬勃发展之仙界。待到大道轮转，又至道生道长之时，这位经坟圣君方才将大道释放。

The black cat retorted immediately: "Chaos, you must not know this. The Holy Merchant's predecessor was the Immortal Merchant Ship, which split from the Profound Merchant Immortal Ship. If there is a Holy Merchant, how can we be sure that there isn't also a Holy Profundity?"

“ jīng fén shì dào qǐ huán ， yú huāng líng zhī shàng 。”

“经坟噬道启环，于荒陵之上。”

"Moreover, if the Holy Merchant did not possess power related to the Infinite Sea, I doubt it. The Holy Merchant vanished in an instant within the star sea. This could indicate fleeing to other possibilities. How could they achieve this without connecting with infinite power?"

zhè shì xiān jiè zì gǔ liú chuán de yàn yǔ 。

这是仙界自古流传的谚语。

Chaos was left speechless by the black cat's words.

zhèng shì yīn wèi sì wèi shèng jūn rú tóng tiān zhù yì bān ， zhī chēng zhe xiān jiè de cāng qióng ， cái yǒu liǎo wú biān wú yín 、 hào miǎo shēng jī wú xiàn de zhòng xiān lè tǔ 。

正是因为四位圣君如同天柱一般，支撑着仙界的苍穹，才有了无边无垠、浩渺生机无限的众仙乐土。

However, due to his experiences in the immortal realm, he did not wish to engage in verbal sparring and remained silent. The white cat patted its shoulder, and the black cat's voice ceased as it returned to a normal state.

què yòu zhèng yīn wèi sì shèng jūn zhí zé tài zhòng ， fēn shēn fá shù ， wú fǎ guǎn lǐ zhòng xiān 。 zhè cái yǒu le xiān jiè lì rèn xiān dì 。

却又正因为四圣君职责太重，分身乏术，无法管理众仙。这才有了仙界历任仙帝。

The white cat said: "Black's reasoning is not without merit. Thinking about it thoroughly, the sudden appearance of that hidden emperor does have many unexplained aspects."

xiān jiè zhī chū ， shì jiān zhēn xiān hái zhī xiǎo sì shèng jūn míng hào ， shí cháng mò niàn gǎn ēn 。 dàn hòu lái suí zhe guāng yīn liú shì ， sì shèng jūn xǔ jiǔ méi yǒu xiàn shì ， zhū xiān suī bù zhì yú jiāng tā men yí wàng 。 què yě wú fǎ niǔ zhuǎn de zhú jiàn dàn huà ， zhǐ xiāng dāng yú gè fú hào bà le 。

仙界之初，世间真仙还知晓四圣君名号，时常默念感恩。但后来随着光阴流逝，四圣君许久没有现世，诸仙虽不至于将祂们遗忘。却也无法扭转的逐渐淡化，只相当于个符号罢了。

"However..."

ruò sì shèng jūn shǐ zhōng rú yī ， huò xǔ jiù bú huì fā shēng hòu lái nà xǔ duō shì 。 yī qiè de niǔ zhuǎn ， dōu yuán qǐ yú jīng fén shèng jūn de liào tiāo zi 。

若四圣君始终如一，或许就不会发生后来那许多事。一切的扭转，都缘起于经坟圣君的撂挑子。

The white cat smiled. "All these are not the key points."

suī rán zhè me shuō ， sì hū yǒu xiē bù jìng 。 dàn shì shí jiù shì rú cǐ 。

虽然这么说，似乎有些不敬。但事实就是如此。

"The crucial point is his strength."

mái zàng shū lǐ xiān jiè xiāo wáng dà dào bù zhī duō shǎo zài hòu ， zhè wèi xiān jiè dì sì shèng jūn ， yǒu yī rì hū rán “ bà gōng ” le 。

埋葬梳理仙界消亡大道不知多少载后，这位仙界第四圣君，有一日忽然“罢工”了。

"If we can defeat him in battle, whether he is a hidden emperor or something else, everything from that Primordial Era Immortal Realm will belong to us. Even the authority to connect with the Infinite Sea..."

dà xiào sān shēng ， yì kǒu qì jiāng shàng wèi wán chéng lún zhuàn de xiāo wáng dà dào tǔ chū 。

大笑三声，一口气将尚未完成轮转的消亡大道吐出。

These words caused the true immortals present to be agitated and unable to control their expressions.

nà néng mó miè yī qiè xiān dào de fǔ xiǔ kuáng fēng ， shà shí jiān qīng xí le zhěng gè xiān jiè 。 wú shù xiān pū 、 xiān guī 、 xiān qì ， dōu zài zhān rǎn le zhè 【 fén fēng 】 hòu xiǔ huà 。 jí biàn zhēn xiān 、 wú míng zhēn xiān ， yě nán duǒ zhè gǔ dà dào fǔ xiǔ zhī qì 。 zhěng gè xiān jiè ， kě wèi shì shāng wáng wú suàn ， sǔn shī cǎn zhòng 。

那能磨灭一切仙道的腐朽狂风，霎时间倾袭了整个仙界。无数仙仆、仙傀、仙器，都在沾染了这【坟风】后朽化。即便真仙、无名真仙，也难躲这股大道腐朽之气。整个仙界，可谓是伤亡无算，损失惨重。

Only Chaos was taken aback. He did not expect his seemingly rational companions to make such a foolish judgment.

bù guò zài yǒu zhe wú xiàn zhī néng yuán de xiān jiè miàn qián ， zhè diǎn sǔn shī qí shí hái suàn bù shàng shén me 。 zhǐ yào huā fèi xiē xǔ shí jiān ， zǒng néng xiū fù huí lái 。

不过在有着无限之能源的仙界面前，这点损失其实还算不上什么。只要花费些许时间，总能修复回来。

He glanced at the white cat on his shoulder, and after a long pause, he艰难ly said: "Do any of you remember the Great Saint of the Tomb?"

guān jiàn shì 【 jīng fén shèng jūn 】 bù gàn le 。

关键是【经坟圣君】不干了。

"The Great Saint of the Tomb?"

nà dào xiāo dào miè ， jiù zài yě wú rén néng qù chù lǐ 。 zhǐ néng tīng zhī rèn zhī ， duǒ zhī bì zhī 。

那道消道灭，就再也无人能去处理。只能听之任之，躲之避之。

This is an extremely ancient name. At least half of those present had never heard this title before and looked bewildered.

gèng yīn zhī zhān rǎn liǎo wú xiàn de xìng zhì ， cǐ dào xiāo dào miè yě biàn dé gèng jiā qiáng dà 。 bù jǐn jǐn bù shí huà zuò fǔ xiǔ de kuáng fēng ， qīn xí xiān jiè gè chù 。 gèng yǎn huà chū zhū duō mò shì huǐ miè yì xiàng ， bù guī lǜ de jiàng lín zài xiān jiè gè chù 。 shèn zhì xià jiè xīng hǎi ， yě nán yǐ bì miǎn 。

更因之沾染了无限的性质，此道消道灭也变得更加强大。不仅仅不时化作腐朽的狂风，侵袭仙界各处。更衍化出诸多末世毁灭异象，不规律的降临在仙界各处。甚至下界星海，也难以避免。

The rest who did recognize it instinctively showed fear in their eyes but quickly rebutted, "Brother Chaos, you are mistaken! That hidden emperor merely created a small immortal realm. How can he be compared to the Great Saint of the Tomb?"

sì gēn tiān zhù ， dǒu rán jiān xiāo shī le yī gēn 。

四根天柱，陡然间消失了一根。

"That Primordial Era Immortal Realm sounds impressive, but its scale is actually smaller than my former cave abode. Hmph, if the immortal realm still existed..."

zhù dìng huì gěi xiān jiè dài lái wú bǐ de hùn luàn 。

注定会给仙界带来无比的混乱。

"Brother Chaos, you are exaggerating. If that hidden emperor truly possesses the power of the Great Saint of the Tomb, what difference would it make to us even if we were his meal?"

jù shuō tài yì 、 lián shān 、 guī hǎi sān wèi shèng jūn ， bù rěn jiàn xiān jiè jí kǔ ， céng jīng qí qí quàn shuō guò zhè wèi yǒu xiē “ rèn xìng ” de jīng fén shèng jūn 。

据说太易、连山、归海三位圣君，不忍见仙界疾苦，曾经齐齐劝说过这位有些“任性”的经坟圣君。

...

zuì zhōng jié guǒ bù dé ér zhī 。

最终结果不得而知。

Chaos listened to the differing rebuttals from those around him and gradually realized why they made judgments so different from his own.

zhǐ shì xiān jiè yì xiàng duǎn zàn xiāo shī sān qiān nián hòu ， yòu lù xù kāi shǐ yú gè dì yǎn huà 。

只是仙界异象短暂消失三千年后，又陆续开始于各地衍化。

The main reasons for their judgment were threefold. First, none of them had personally visited the Primordial Era Immortal Realm, lacking firsthand experience with the hidden emperor's might when he established the immortal realm and appointed Heavenly Emperors. They easily made incorrect judgments based on others' descriptions.

bù guò bù zài shì yí cì xìng dà guī mó bào fā ， ér shì cóng wú dào yǒu 、 qiáng dù pín lǜ zhú jiàn zēng qiáng 。 hǎo dǎi yě gěi zhòng xiān yī duàn bù suàn duǎn de shì yìng qī 。

不过不再是一次性大规模爆发，而是从无到有、强度频率逐渐增强。好歹也给众仙一段不算短的适应期。

Second, they harbored greed towards the authority to connect with the Infinite Sea that the hidden emperor displayed.

zhí zhèng xiān dì zài sān wèi shèng jūn de zhǐ shì xià ， fēn fēng le zhū duō wú míng ， yú gè dì zhèn yā 【 fén fēng 】 yì xiàng 。 qún xiān hé lì ， zhè cái jiāng xiān jiè de hùn luàn shū lǐ chéng gōng 。

执政仙帝在三位圣君的指示下，分封了诸多无名，于各地镇压【坟风】异象。群仙合力，这才将仙界的混乱梳理成功。

Third, and most crucially, the black cat behind them gave these true immortals confidence.

hùn dùn jiù céng shì zhè zhū duō wú míng qí zhōng zhī yī 。

混沌就曾是这诸多无名其中之一。

"Indeed, our star sea gathers many true immortals compared to just this corner of the Northern Star Sea."

nà yǐ jīng shì xǔ jiǔ zhī qián de shì le 。 màn cháng dào ， dāng hùn dùn wú míng huí xiǎng cǐ shì de shí hòu ， jìng yǒu xiē bù néng què rèn cóng nà shí dào xiàn zài ， jiū jìng guò qù le jǐ rèn xiān dì ？

那已经是许久之前的事了。漫长到，当混沌无名回想此事的时候，竟有些不能确认从那时到现在，究竟过去了几任仙帝？

"But..."

hòu lái ， xiān jiè zhòng xiān yě màn màn shì yìng le fén fēng dài lái de zhū duō yì xiàng 。 gèng màn màn yí wàng le zhè yì xiàng de lái yuán 。 zhǐ shì xí yǐ wéi cháng ， jiāng qí dàng zuò xiān jiè běn lái zhī jǐng 。

后来，仙界众仙也慢慢适应了坟风带来的诸多异象。更慢慢遗忘了这异象的来源。只是习以为常，将其当做仙界本来之景。

Thinking about the voice from beyond the sky in the Primordial Era Immortal Realm, Chaos quickly made a judgment: "Leave it up to you all to decide."

qí shí ， xiān jiè yòu yǒu shén me shì yǔ shēng jù lái de ne ？

其实，仙界又有什么是与生俱来的呢？

"I won't be going."
