“ xī rì zhāi yáng xiān dì bài jiàn tài yì shèng jūn , suī qì yùn bù jiā 、 wèi céng dé jiàn shèng miàn 。 què yǒu xìng bèi shǎng cì le yī juàn jīng wén 。”
“昔日斋阳仙帝拜见太易圣君,虽气运不佳、未曾得见圣面。却有幸被赏赐了一卷经文。”
"However, reaching the level of Great Sage Taiyi, the form of life is no longer important."
“ ér hòu wǒ kàng dào yān yǒu gōng , zhāi yáng xiān dì jiù jiāng zhè juǎn jīng wén shǎng cì gěi le wǒ 。”
“而后我抗道湮有功,斋阳仙帝就将这卷经文赏赐给了我。”
"As long as one is willing, there are countless changes possible at any time."
“ bǐ shí , xiān dì céng yán , cǐ juǎn jīng wén nǎi shì shèng jūn qīn zhù , tài guò shēn ào 。 tài yì shèng jūn mǐn shì rén nán dǒng , biàn mìng dà zūn zhě nín zài shàng miàn zhù shì ……”
“彼时,仙帝曾言,此卷经文乃是圣君亲著,太过深奥。太易圣君悯世人难懂,便命大尊者您在上面注释……”
Just like "The Wandering of Tongsun," the "Records of the Primordial Seas" are vast and profound. It requires a great deal of time to understand fully.
shàn huà shuō de jí kuài , yīn wèi tā shí fēn yǎn jiān de fā xiàn , gēn suí tā yì qǐ lái de shuò xīng hǎi zhòng xiān , hái yǒu lái zì guāng wú xīng hǎi de zhī yuán men 。 cǐ kè yǐ jīng quán dōu zhú jiàn huà zuò le yī gēn gēn wēi xíng tiān zhù 。
善化说的极快,因为他十分眼尖的发现,跟随他一起来的朔星海众仙,还有来自光吾星海的支援们。此刻已经全都逐渐化作了一根根微型天柱。
Although Shen Hua offered such a grand gift, Li Fan had no intention of letting him off easily.
kàn lái wú jí dà zūn zhě de shí lì zhe shí kě bù 。 qún xiān zhōng yǒu shí lì bìng bù ruò yú tā zhě , què shì dīng diǎn fǎn kàng zhī lì dōu méi yǒu , jiù yǐ jīng jìn hū quán jūn fù miè 。
看来无极大尊者的实力着实可怖。群仙中有实力并不弱于他者,却是丁点反抗之力都没有,就已经近乎全军覆灭。
Shen Hua's dao seemed to have an air of both illusion and reality. Filling the Ten Thousand Realms Dao Web with it would be quite suitable.
shàn huà xīn zhōng jīng jù zhī qíng yì yú yán biǎo , lián máng tāo chū zài tā kàn lái néng gòu jiù mìng de jīng shū 。
善化心中惊惧之情溢于言表,连忙掏出在他看来能够救命的经书。
And Shen Hua's unnamed intuition was extremely sharp; he could sense Li Fan's 'unfavorable' thoughts. Sweating profusely, he blurted out, "Do you need True Immortals to form these pillars?"
【 shān hǎi chū pì piān 】!
【山海初辟篇】!
"I still have many True Immortals surviving in the Northern Star Sea, including those from the Light World Sea. I am willing to lead the way for you!"
lǐ fán kàn zhe shàn huà tóu dǐng piāo fú zhe de nà juǎn jīng wén , dà shǒu yī huī , jiāng qí shè guò 。
李凡看着善化头顶漂浮着的那卷经文,大手一挥,将其摄过。
Hearing this, Li Fan's eyes flickered before he temporarily put down his hand.
dí què cóng shàng miàn wú shù de yíng tóu xiǎo zì shàng , gǎn shòu dào le shǔ yú 【 wú jí 】 de qì xī 。
的确从上面无数的蝇头小字上,感受到了属于【无极】的气息。
Although they had suppressed quite a few True Immortals, their quality was somewhat lacking. Most were ordinary True Immortals, with only two in the nameless realm.
“ zhè me shuō , nǐ wǒ zhī jiān , yuán lái hái yǒu jǐ fēn yuān yuán ?”
“这么说,你我之间,原来还有几分渊源?”
One of them was the "Prosperity" Dao. The Dao's controller could enjoy various benefits from the prosperity of their force and pass some of these benefits to their companions, increasing their strength. However, they themselves would not suffer the negative effects when their force declined. Even if their host force perished, they could withdraw calmly.
lǐ fán yī biān dǎ liàng zhe jīng shū 。
李凡一边打量着经书。
Although this ability seemed somewhat useless, its effect was actually terrifying. It could bring continuous growth and stack over time. Nameless Prosperity had once been a guest of many successive sovereign immortals.
yī biān gān cuì chéng rèn le zì jǐ 【 wú jí dà zūn zhě 】 de shēn fèn , dàn dàn dì shuō dào 。
一边干脆承认了自己【无极大尊者】的身份,淡淡地说道。
If it were not for the uncontrollable "Dissolution of Dao" calamity, the Primordial Seas might have continued to flourish indefinitely.
“ dà zūn zhě nín dàng zhēn shì huì yǎn rú jù a !” shàn huà lián lián diǎn tóu 。
“大尊者您当真是慧眼如炬啊!”善化连连点头。
The other nameless True Immortal Li Fan suppressed was the "Divine Thought" Dao. Even if the star seas were disconnected due to the Dissolution of Dao, they could still find the remnants of civilizations using their Divine Thought Dao.
nǎo hǎi zhōng què shì zài jí sù sī suǒ zhe yǒu guān zhè wèi shèng rén zuò xià dà zūn zhě de xìn xī 。
脑海中却是在急速思索着有关这位圣人座下大尊者的信息。
The Light World Sea and the Nameless True Immortal called 'Star Gazer' were connected through this connection.
xiān jiè sì shèng jūn , jī hū zhǐ cún zài yú chuán shuō zhī zhōng 。 jí biàn shì lì rèn xiān dì , xiǎng yào jiàn tā men yí miàn , yě shì qiān nán wàn nán 。
仙界四圣君,几乎只存在于传说之中。即便是历任仙帝,想要见祂们一面,也是千难万难。
"Talking about these great dao paths is useless," Li Fan thought. "But..."
bù guò chú le jīng fén shèng jūn zhī wài , qí yú sān shèng zuò xià jiē yǒu dài yán rén 。
不过除了经坟圣君之外,其余三圣座下皆有代言人。
"The intensity is somewhat lacking. Perhaps the true powerhouses among the nameless have already escaped to other possibilities."
qí zhōng yòu yǐ yǎn qián zhè wèi wú jí dà zūn zhě zuì hǎo shuō huà 。
其中又以眼前这位无极大尊者最好说话。
Thinking of this, Li Fan became more interested in the remaining nameless forces in the Northern Star Sea.
zhǐ yào fán shì dōu shùn zhe tā , hǒng zhe tā 。 zuì hǎo zài yú yán yǔ jiān lā chě xiē gēn guān xì , wǎng wǎng dōu néng yíng dé zhè wèi zūn zhě xīn qíng dà yuè 。
只要凡事都顺着他,哄着他。最好再于言语间拉扯些跟关系,往往都能赢得这位尊者心情大悦。
"Besides Shen Hua, there's that Minguo and Nv."
“ zhè juǎn 【 shān hǎi chū pì piān 】, nǎi shì tài yì shèng jūn guān lián shān 、 guī hǎi èr wèi shèng jūn cóng wú dào yǒu , zhù jiù hào dà xiān jiè yǒu gǎn 。 qí zhōng wén zì , xuán zhī yòu xuán , jī hū chāo tuō yú dào zhī shàng 。 wǒ shàn huà zī zhì yú dùn , ruò wú dà zūn zhě nín zhī zhù shì , zòng shǐ bǎo jīng zài shǒu , wǒ yě shì nán yǐ lǐng wù qí ào miào a 。”
“这卷【山海初辟篇】,乃是太易圣君观连山、归海二位圣君从无到有,筑就浩大仙界有感。其中文字,玄之又玄,几乎超脱于道之上。我善化资质愚钝,若无大尊者您之注释,纵使宝经在手,我也是难以领悟其奥妙啊。”
"And the blue hand building the Dao Web."
“ dà zūn zhě , nín shí nǎi wú zhī shī yě !”
“大尊者,您实乃吾之师也!”
Li Fan was already absorbing memories from the suppressed True Immortals. He had a preliminary understanding of this mysterious powerhouse.
“ dāng chū zhāi yáng xiān dì jiāng cǐ jīng jiāo fù yú wǒ shí yě céng yǒu yán , nín zhī dào fǎ zào yì , gèng yuǎn zài tā zhī shàng 。 bù kuì shì shèng jūn mén xià !” shàn huà cǐ kè nǎ lǐ hái gù dé zhè wèi zǎo jiù zuò gǔ de qián qián xiān dì , zhāng kǒu jiù lái , hú biān shuō dào 。
“当初斋阳仙帝将此经交付于我时也曾有言,您之道法造诣,更远在他之上。不愧是圣君门下!”善化此刻哪里还顾得这位早就作古的前前仙帝,张口就来,胡编说道。
Unlike other nameless who openly revealed their dao paths, this Nameless who built the Northern Star Sea Dao Web never truly showed his true identity. Whenever he appeared, he used a blue light body as a substitute. Even the other immortals could not determine which dao path he controlled.
lǐ fán zé shì zài shàn huà de qiǎo yǔ huā yán zhōng , zǐ xì guān mó zhuó shǒu zhōng jīng shū 。
李凡则是在善化的巧语花言中,仔细观摩着手中经书。
The True Immortals suppressed in the Northern Star Sea Dao Web should know his true identity, but even when True Immortals and Celestial Hunters joined forces later, they were still tightly sealed deep within the Dao Web.
shàn huà cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì shàng dào yě méi yǒu shuō huǎng 。
善化从某种意义上倒也没有说谎。
Li Fan recalled the Lord of Joy City. He almost forgot that he had a deal with this True Immortal.
zhè juǎn 【 shān hǎi chū pì piān 】 suī shì miáo huì de xiān jiè yú wú xiàn hǎi 、 shàng fāng shān zhōng kāi pì zhī shì , dàn qí zhōng hái bāo hán zhe dà liàng tài yì shèng jūn běn rén zài mù dǔ zhè xiē dà shì jiàn fā shēng shí hòu de gǎn wù 。
这卷【山海初辟篇】虽是描绘的仙界于无限海、上方山中开辟之事,但其中还包含着大量太易圣君本人在目睹这些大事件发生时候的感悟。
"Almost there. Just wait, I'll help you out."
gēn lǐ fán zhī qián suǒ huò dé de 【 shǒu qiū màn bǐ 】, dǎo shì jí wéi lèi sì 。
跟李凡之前所获得的【守丘漫笔】,倒是极为类似。
"Shen Hua is still useful for now; no need to seal him in the pillars just yet. The Thirteen Ancient Dao Forms mentioned by Emperor Sanmo Mo will return much later."
bù guò gēn shǒu qiū gōng de zhí shū xiōng yì , yǒu shá shuō shá xiāng bǐ 。 zhè wèi tài yì shèng jūn jiù xiǎn de “ wén qīng ” le xǔ duō 。 quán piān jīng wén , jī hū méi yǒu bái miáo 。 ér shì chōng chì zhe dà liàng kàn shàng qù wú yì yì de cí huì 、 yǔ jù 。
不过跟守丘公的直抒胸臆,有啥说啥相比。这位太易圣君就显得“文青”了许多。全篇经文,几乎没有白描。而是充斥着大量看上去无意义的词汇、语句。
Thinking of this, Li Fan coldly snorted: "Since you're sensible, I'll let you off for your impudence."
ruò fēi shì tài yì shèng jūn qīn chuán , lǐ fán dōu jī hū yào jiāng qí rèn zuò shì mǒu gè fēng zi de hú yán luàn yǔ le 。
若非是太易圣君亲传,李凡都几乎要将其认作是某个疯子的胡言乱语了。
Shen Hua, relieved like a weight lifted from his shoulders, quickly thanked the Great Sage.
zhè piān jīng shì jīng wén , sì hū jiù bú shì gěi shì jiān fán rén kàn de 。 xiān jiè zhòng xiān , yě bāo hán zài zhè fán rén de fàn chóu zhī nèi 。 wéi yǒu qí tā jǐ wèi shèng jūn , huò xǔ cái shì hé zuò wéi zhè piān jīng wén de dú zhě 。
这篇惊世经文,似乎就不是给世间凡人看的。仙界众仙,也包含在这凡人的范畴之内。唯有其他几位圣君,或许才适合作为这篇经文的读者。
Suddenly, another matter that made him shudder occurred. The black cat on his shoulder, who had been temporarily unconscious due to Star Gazer's use of its body, slowly regained consciousness.
ruò shì méi yǒu wú jí de zhù shì de huà 。
若是没有无极的注释的话。
Seeing Li Fan, it began barking at him fiercely.
wú jí dà zūn zhě , yě jiù shì tiān dōu dà fǎ shī bì jìng shì fèng zài tài yì shèng jūn shēn qián wú shù zài , ěr tí miàn mìng zhī xià , bǐ qǐ shì jiān zhòng rén xiǎn rán yào gèng jiā róng yì liǎo jiě shèng jūn de suǒ sī suǒ xiǎng 。
无极大尊者,也就是天都大法师毕竟侍奉在太易圣君身前无数载,耳提面命之下,比起世间众人显然要更加容易了解圣君的所思所想。
"Meow~ Meow~ Meow~"
tā zhī zhù shì , suī bù néng shuō bǎi fēn bǎi wán quán gēn shèng jūn yuán yì qì hé 。 què yě jī hū bā jiǔ bù lí shí le 。
他之注释,虽不能说百分百完全跟圣君原意契合。却也几乎八九不离十了。
"Rascally beast!" Shen Hua ignored the loss of his beloved pet and slapped the cat on the head.
guāng lùn jīng wén běn shēn , lǐ fán dí què wú fǎ kàn dǒng 。
光论经文本身,李凡的确无法看懂。
The cat winced but did not calm down. Instead, it growled softly to its master.
dàn yǒu le dà fǎ shī zhù shì de jiā chí , què shì miǎn qiǎng néng yī kuī nà wèi tài yì shèng jūn de xīn jìng le 。
但有了大法师注释的加持,却是勉强能一窥那位太易圣君的心境了。
"Unfamiliar beasts! Great Heavenly Sage, please forgive me!"
qí zhōng yī duàn 。
其中一段。
Shen Hua laughed bitterly, nervously apologizing to Li Fan.
dāng lián shān shèng jūn chéng jiù shì shàng dì yī xiān de nà yī kè , bǐ shí shì jiān cún zài de suǒ yǒu shēng líng , dōu huò duō huò shǎo 、 yīn zhī ér shòu yì 。 zhòng shēng xiàn yú jué dà huān xǐ zhī zhōng 。 wéi yǒu tài yì shèng jūn , zài dàn dàn xīn xǐ de tóng shí , yǒng qǐ tóng děng fèn de yōu lǜ 。 bǐ shí , tài yì shèng jūn hái bù néng míng bái , zhè fèn yōu lǜ jiū jìng cóng hé ér lái 。
当连山圣君成就世上第一仙的那一刻,彼时世间存在的所有生灵,都或多或少、因之而受益。众生陷于绝大欢喜之中。唯有太易圣君,在淡淡欣喜的同时,涌起同等份的忧虑。彼时,太易圣君还不能明白,这份忧虑究竟从何而来。
"Do you think I would argue with an untamed beast?" Li Fan sneered and waved his hand, capturing the cat mid-air.
hái yǒu yī duàn 。 shuō de shì guī hǎi shèng jūn dǎ tōng wú xiàn quán hòu , yāo qǐng lián shān 、 tài yì děng shèng jūn qián lái guān lǐ 。 guī hǎi yǐ kāi wán xiào de yǔ qì duì lián shān shuō dào :“ xiōng kě zhī , shān hǎi jiū jìng shú gāo yān ? ruò bù zhī , wǒ děng kě shì mù yǐ dài 。” lián shān xiào ér dá yuē :“ shān suī gāo , hǎi suī shēn 。 dàn xiān kě yì lì yú shān diān , yì néng jiǎo tà wú xiàn zhī quán 。 gù ér , xiān zuì gāo 。” guī hǎi fǔ zhǎng ér xiào 。 tài yì shèng jūn , huǎng hū jiān yú yǎn qián liǎng wèi shèng jūn shēn shàng , yǐn yǐn kàn dào le shān hǎi hū xiào zhī xiāng 。 jìng yī shí jiān xīn yǒu qī qī rán 。
还有一段。说的是归海圣君打通无限泉后,邀请连山、太易等圣君前来观礼。归海以开玩笑的语气对连山说道:“兄可知,山海究竟孰高焉?若不知,我等可拭目以待。”连山笑而答曰:“山虽高,海虽深。但仙可屹立于山巅,亦能脚踏无限之泉。故而,仙最高。”归海抚掌而笑。太易圣君,恍惚间于眼前两位圣君身上,隐隐看到了山海呼啸之相。竟一时间心有戚戚然。
He carefully examined this small creature. Indeed, it resembled Cat Treasure in appearance. It was no wonder Li Fan almost mistook it for a cat at first glance.
……
……
The cat did not know its life was now in someone else's hands; it continued to bark aggressively at Li Fan.
jiè zhù zhè 【 shān hǎi chū pì piān 】, lǐ fán fǎng fú huí dào le xiān jiè chuàng jiàn zhī chū , yǐ tài yì shèng jūn de shì jiǎo , jiāng yī jiàn jiàn huāng gǔ wǎng shēng qīn shēn jīng lì 。
借助这【山海初辟篇】,李凡仿佛回到了仙界创建之初,以太易圣君的视角,将一件件荒古往生亲身经历。
"Quite fierce," Li Fan said.
chú le zhū wèi shèng jūn yǐ jí chū shēng xiān jiè zhī shì yǐ wài , zhè piān jīng wén zhōng hái jiǎng shù le xiē xiān tiān shēng líng yǐ jí tài chū xiān jiè zhī shì 。
除了诸位圣君以及初生仙界之事以外,这篇经文中还讲述了些先天生灵以及太初仙界之事。
Shen Hua wiped his forehead sweat and explained, "This rascal is always nurtured with boundless immortal energy. It becomes rebellious after eating too much. The same goes for other True Immortals."
nà shì yī piàn jī hū wú biān wú jì de huāng mǎng dà lù 。 dà lù shàng biàn bù zhe zhū duō qí miào de xiān tiān shēng líng 。 zhè xiē shēng líng yǒu xiē shì dà dào xiǎn huà , yǒu xiē shì qí wù shēng zhì , hái yǒu zé shì “ rén ”。
那是一片几乎无边无际的荒莽大陆。大陆上遍布着诸多奇妙的先天生灵。这些生灵有些是大道显化,有些是奇物生智,还有则是“人”。
"It's not targeting you specifically."
bù guò zhè tài chū xiān jiè zhōng de “ rén ”, bǐ qǐ xiàn rú jīn de fán rén , yào qiáng tài duō 。 huò xǔ shì tiān shēng dì yǎng de yuán yīn , zhè xiē “ rén ” néng gòu liè shā dà lù shàng de yùn dào xiān tiān shēng líng , jiāng qí xiāo huà xī shōu 、 huà wèi jǐ yòng 。
不过这太初仙界中的“人”,比起现如今的凡人,要强太多。或许是天生地养的原因,这些“人”能够猎杀大陆上的孕道先天生灵,将其消化吸收、化为己用。
"Aww, it was cute when young."
dàn suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì ,“ rén ” men fā xiàn tā men zhè zhǒng jiǎn dān cū bào de tūn shì , bìng bù néng zhēn zhèng de zhǎng wò zhè xiē dào 。 tā men yí dàn shēn sǐ , dào jiāng zhòng guī yú tiān dì zhī jiān 。 ér tā men tóng yàng wú fǎ tōng guò “ fán yǎn ” de fāng fǎ , jiāng “ dào ” yán xù 。 yú shì “ rén ” men kāi shǐ sī kǎo , zhēn zhèng zhǎng kòng dào de fāng fǎ 。
但随着时间的流逝,“人”们发现他们这种简单粗暴的吞噬,并不能真正的掌握这些道。他们一旦身死,道将重归于天地之间。而他们同样无法通过“繁衍”的方法,将“道”延续。于是“人”们开始思考,真正掌控道的方法。
Li Fan extended a finger, emitting boundless immortal energy to the cat.
tā men kāi shǐ xué xí xiào fǎ dà lù shàng de nà xiē xiān tiān yùn dào shēng líng , yǒu xiē shèn zhì wèi le zhǎng wò dào tú , gān cuì fàng qì le zì jǐ de rén shēn 。 màn cháng de suì yuè zhōng , wú shù “ zhǒng zú ”, kāi shǐ chū xiàn 、 yǎn huà 。 ér xiān tiān shēng líng , zé yīn wèi “ rén ” de jì yú , màn màn yǐn shì 。
他们开始学习效法大陆上的那些先天孕道生灵,有些甚至为了掌握道途,干脆放弃了自己的人身。漫长的岁月中,无数“种族”,开始出现、衍化。而先天生灵,则因为“人”的觊觎,慢慢隐世。
Sure enough, the cat immediately calmed down and greedily ate the energy from the Infinite Sea.
【 shān hǎi chū pì piān 】 zhōng , bìng méi yǒu míng què miáo shù tài yì shèng jūn de zhēn shí shēn fèn 。 dàn cóng zhǒng zhǒng xì jié , huò xǔ kě yǐ tuī lùn , tài yì shèng jūn zuì chū bìng fēi shì “ rén ”。 ér shì xiān tiān shēng líng huà shēng 。
【山海初辟篇】中,并没有明确描述太易圣君的真实身份。但从种种细节,或许可以推论,太易圣君最初并非是“人”。而是先天生灵化生。
The little creature had quite an appetite. After some time, it finally finished eating.
……
……
To Li Fan's surprise, instead of becoming more obedient after being fed, this rascal instantly turned hostile again, growling softly at him.
“ bù guò , shí lì dá dào tài yì shèng jūn de dì bù , hé zhǒng shēng mìng xíng shì 、 yǐ jīng bú zhòng yào le 。”
“不过,实力达到太易圣君的地步,何种生命形式、已经不重要了。”
Seeing Li Fan's expression turn sour, Shen Hua secretly cursed and explained nervously, "This cat is just like any other. It only gets close to those it knows well."
“ zhǐ yào yuàn yì , suí shí dōu néng yǒu wàn bān biàn huà 。”
“只要愿意,随时都能有万般变化。”
"Even if outsiders use some means, they can't make it truly obedient."
【 shān hǎi chū pì piān 】 zhèng rú shǒu qiū màn bǐ yì bān , bó dà jīng shēn 。 xū hào fèi dà liàng guāng yīn , xì xì pǐn dú , fāng cái néng míng wù 。
【山海初辟篇】正如守丘漫笔一般,博大精深。需耗费大量光阴,细细品读,方才能明悟。
Li Fan showed no interest and casually threw the cat back to Shen Hua.
suī shuō shàn huà sòng shàng le zhè me yī piān dà lǐ , bù guò lǐ fán què gēn běn méi yǒu fàng guò tā de yì si 。
虽说善化送上了这么一篇大礼,不过李凡却根本没有放过他的意思。
But at this moment, his hand paused.
zhè shàn huà zhī dào , pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn huàn yì zhēn de yì wèi 。 yòng lái tián chōng wàn xiāng dào wǎng , hěn shì hé shì 。
这善化之道,颇有几分幻亦真的意味。用来填充万相道网,很是合适。
Shen Hua's heart tightened again, fearing Li Fan had changed his mind. However, he heard Li Fan ask softly, "What did you just say?"
ér shàn huà wú míng de zhí jué , yě jí wéi mǐn ruì 。
而善化无名的直觉,也极为敏锐。
Confused, Shen Hua repeated his words: "...just like any other cat. Only familiar with those it knows well."
jìng néng gǎn shòu dào lǐ fán de “ bù shàn ” niàn tou , kàn xiàng zhōu zāo chù lì de wú shù tiān zhù , lěng hàn zhí liú zhī xià , tā tuō kǒu ér chū dào :“ dà zūn zhě nín xū yào zhēn xiān yǐ zuò tiān zhù ?”
竟能感受到李凡的“不善”念头,看向周遭矗立的无数天柱,冷汗直流之下,他脱口而出道:“大尊者您需要真仙以作天柱?”
As these words echoed in the air, a vision of Cat Treasure and the Sovereign appeared before Li Fan.
“ shuò xīng hǎi zhōng , hái yǒu bù shǎo zhēn xiān xìng cún 。 bāo kuò nà guāng wú xīng hǎi , jù jí zhēn xiān shù liàng hái yào yuǎn shèng 。 wǒ yuàn wèi dà zūn zhě nín mǎ qián qū !”
“朔星海中,还有不少真仙幸存。包括那光吾星海,聚集真仙数量还要远胜。我愿为大尊者您马前驱!”
One cat, one person, standing side by side as if facing him across time.
tīng wén cǐ yán , lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng zhī xià , zhè cái zàn qiě shōu qǐ le jí jiāng là xià de shǒu 。
听闻此言,李凡目光闪动之下,这才暂且收起了即将落下的手。
A long-neglected point suddenly surfaced in his mind: How could such a divine creature be subdued by mere source energy essence?
zhè cì suī rán zhèn yā le bù shǎo zhēn xiān , dàn zhì liàng què yǒu xiē chā qiáng rén yì 。
这次虽然镇压了不少真仙,但质量却有些差强人意。
Almost anything the Sovereign wanted, Cat Treasure seemed to comply with. Even exhausting tasks; a bit of source energy essence from the Sovereign would pacify it.
dà duō dōu shì xún cháng zhēn xiān zhī liè , wú míng zhī jìng zhǐ yǒu liǎng zūn 。
大多都是寻常真仙之列,无名之境只有两尊。
Would anyone else be able to do that?
qí yī shì 【 tóng shèng 】 zhī dào 。 dào zé zhǎng kòng zhě , néng gòu xiǎng shòu suǒ chù shì lì xīng shèng suǒ dài lái de zhǒng zhǒng hǎo chù 。 bìng qiě dài gěi shì lì zhōng tóng bàn , shí lì yí dìng chéng dù de zēng fú 。
其一是【同盛】之道。道则掌控者,能够享受所处势力兴盛所带来的种种好处。并且带给势力中同伴,实力一定程度的增幅。
Li Fan had never considered this before, but now...
"However, reaching the level of Great Sage Taiyi, the form of life is no longer important."
"As long as one is willing, there are countless changes possible at any time."
Just like "The Wandering of Tongsun," the "Records of the Primordial Seas" are vast and profound. It requires a great deal of time to understand fully.
Although Shen Hua offered such a grand gift, Li Fan had no intention of letting him off easily.
Shen Hua's dao seemed to have an air of both illusion and reality. Filling the Ten Thousand Realms Dao Web with it would be quite suitable.
And Shen Hua's unnamed intuition was extremely sharp; he could sense Li Fan's 'unfavorable' thoughts. Sweating profusely, he blurted out, "Do you need True Immortals to form these pillars?"
"I still have many True Immortals surviving in the Northern Star Sea, including those from the Light World Sea. I am willing to lead the way for you!"
Hearing this, Li Fan's eyes flickered before he temporarily put down his hand.
Although they had suppressed quite a few True Immortals, their quality was somewhat lacking. Most were ordinary True Immortals, with only two in the nameless realm.
One of them was the "Prosperity" Dao. The Dao's controller could enjoy various benefits from the prosperity of their force and pass some of these benefits to their companions, increasing their strength. However, they themselves would not suffer the negative effects when their force declined. Even if their host force perished, they could withdraw calmly.
Although this ability seemed somewhat useless, its effect was actually terrifying. It could bring continuous growth and stack over time. Nameless Prosperity had once been a guest of many successive sovereign immortals.
If it were not for the uncontrollable "Dissolution of Dao" calamity, the Primordial Seas might have continued to flourish indefinitely.
The other nameless True Immortal Li Fan suppressed was the "Divine Thought" Dao. Even if the star seas were disconnected due to the Dissolution of Dao, they could still find the remnants of civilizations using their Divine Thought Dao.
The Light World Sea and the Nameless True Immortal called 'Star Gazer' were connected through this connection.
"Talking about these great dao paths is useless," Li Fan thought. "But..."
"The intensity is somewhat lacking. Perhaps the true powerhouses among the nameless have already escaped to other possibilities."
Thinking of this, Li Fan became more interested in the remaining nameless forces in the Northern Star Sea.
"Besides Shen Hua, there's that Minguo and Nv."
"And the blue hand building the Dao Web."
Li Fan was already absorbing memories from the suppressed True Immortals. He had a preliminary understanding of this mysterious powerhouse.
Unlike other nameless who openly revealed their dao paths, this Nameless who built the Northern Star Sea Dao Web never truly showed his true identity. Whenever he appeared, he used a blue light body as a substitute. Even the other immortals could not determine which dao path he controlled.
The True Immortals suppressed in the Northern Star Sea Dao Web should know his true identity, but even when True Immortals and Celestial Hunters joined forces later, they were still tightly sealed deep within the Dao Web.
Li Fan recalled the Lord of Joy City. He almost forgot that he had a deal with this True Immortal.
"Almost there. Just wait, I'll help you out."
"Shen Hua is still useful for now; no need to seal him in the pillars just yet. The Thirteen Ancient Dao Forms mentioned by Emperor Sanmo Mo will return much later."
Thinking of this, Li Fan coldly snorted: "Since you're sensible, I'll let you off for your impudence."
Shen Hua, relieved like a weight lifted from his shoulders, quickly thanked the Great Sage.
Suddenly, another matter that made him shudder occurred. The black cat on his shoulder, who had been temporarily unconscious due to Star Gazer's use of its body, slowly regained consciousness.
Seeing Li Fan, it began barking at him fiercely.
"Meow~ Meow~ Meow~"
"Rascally beast!" Shen Hua ignored the loss of his beloved pet and slapped the cat on the head.
The cat winced but did not calm down. Instead, it growled softly to its master.
"Unfamiliar beasts! Great Heavenly Sage, please forgive me!"
Shen Hua laughed bitterly, nervously apologizing to Li Fan.
"Do you think I would argue with an untamed beast?" Li Fan sneered and waved his hand, capturing the cat mid-air.
He carefully examined this small creature. Indeed, it resembled Cat Treasure in appearance. It was no wonder Li Fan almost mistook it for a cat at first glance.
The cat did not know its life was now in someone else's hands; it continued to bark aggressively at Li Fan.
"Quite fierce," Li Fan said.
Shen Hua wiped his forehead sweat and explained, "This rascal is always nurtured with boundless immortal energy. It becomes rebellious after eating too much. The same goes for other True Immortals."
"It's not targeting you specifically."
"Aww, it was cute when young."
Li Fan extended a finger, emitting boundless immortal energy to the cat.
Sure enough, the cat immediately calmed down and greedily ate the energy from the Infinite Sea.
The little creature had quite an appetite. After some time, it finally finished eating.
To Li Fan's surprise, instead of becoming more obedient after being fed, this rascal instantly turned hostile again, growling softly at him.
Seeing Li Fan's expression turn sour, Shen Hua secretly cursed and explained nervously, "This cat is just like any other. It only gets close to those it knows well."
"Even if outsiders use some means, they can't make it truly obedient."
Li Fan showed no interest and casually threw the cat back to Shen Hua.
But at this moment, his hand paused.
Shen Hua's heart tightened again, fearing Li Fan had changed his mind. However, he heard Li Fan ask softly, "What did you just say?"
Confused, Shen Hua repeated his words: "...just like any other cat. Only familiar with those it knows well."
As these words echoed in the air, a vision of Cat Treasure and the Sovereign appeared before Li Fan.
One cat, one person, standing side by side as if facing him across time.
A long-neglected point suddenly surfaced in his mind: How could such a divine creature be subdued by mere source energy essence?
Almost anything the Sovereign wanted, Cat Treasure seemed to comply with. Even exhausting tasks; a bit of source energy essence from the Sovereign would pacify it.
Would anyone else be able to do that?
Li Fan had never considered this before, but now...
