“ sān shèng jūn jìng yǐ jīng qiáng dà dào rú cǐ dì bù ？ zhū jiè wéi yī ……” lǐ fán yī shí jiān jìng yǒu xiē wēi wēi shī shén 。
“三圣君竟已经强大到如此地步？诸界唯一……”李凡一时间竟有些微微失神。
"Master, the time has come," said Li Fan as he suddenly withdrew his spiritual body and gazed at the horizon.
“ xiān jiè wú biān wú yín ， zì gǔ ér jīn ， gèng shì tiān jiāo bèi chū 。 rán ér néng chēng 【 shèng 】 zhě ， yě bù guò nà sì wèi cún zài bà le 。 jiù lián shī zūn nà bān tōng tiān shǒu duàn ， yě zhǐ shì bèi shì rén zūn chēng wéi 【 gōng 】， ér dāng bù dé yí gè 【 shèng zì 】。 shī dì nǐ yòu zěn me néng xiǎo qù zhū shèng zhě ne 。” chéng dào yáo tóu 。
“仙界无边无垠，自古而今，更是天骄辈出。然而能称【圣】者，也不过那四位存在罢了。就连师尊那般通天手段，也只是被世人尊称为【公】，而当不得一个【圣字】。师弟你又怎么能小觑诸圣者呢。”承道摇头。
The sea and mountain light around him instantly vanished, but in the Primordial Chaos Realm, strange phenomena began to appear.
“ dào bú shì xiǎo qù 。” lǐ fán kǔ xiào ，“ shí zài shì duì xiān jiè de liǎo jiě quán píng mó hú jì zǎi ， wú fǎ xíng chéng zhèng què de rèn zhī 。 ruò bú shì yǒu shī xiōng nín diǎn bō ……”
“倒不是小觑。”李凡苦笑，“实在是对仙界的了解全凭模糊记载，无法形成正确的认知。若不是有师兄您点拨……”
Creak...
“ zhū jiè wéi yī ， yì huò zhě shān hǎi wéi yī 。 nà jiù shì chuán shuō zhōng ， zhēn zhèng chāo tuō de jìng jiè le ba ？ lián shān 、 guī hǎi liǎng wèi shèng jūn zhèng dào ， yí gè kào de shì kāi pì shàng fāng shān 、 yí gè kào de shì dǎ tōng wú xiàn quán 。 nà tài yì shèng jūn ， yòu shì rú hé néng zǒu dào zhè yī bù de ？ nán bù chéng ， shì shàng hái yǒu néng gēn shān hǎi xiāng pì měi zhě ？” lǐ fán zhí jiē xuǎn zé zhuǎn yí le huà tí 。
“诸界唯一，亦或者山海唯一。那就是传说中，真正超脱的境界了吧？连山、归海两位圣君证道，一个靠的是开辟上方山、一个靠的是打通无限泉。那太易圣君，又是如何能走到这一步的？难不成，世上还有能跟山海相媲美者？”李凡直接选择转移了话题。
A harsh sound like metal rubbing against each other echoed across the Primordial Chaos Continent, causing all living beings within it to feel an uncontrollable irritation deep in their hearts.
chéng dào xiào le xiào ：“ nǐ shī xiōng wǒ suī rán jiàn shí bù fán ， dàn shèng jūn zhèng dào mì mì ， què yòu bìng fēi wǒ néng zhī xiǎo dé le 。 zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， shèng jūn běn rén bù gōng kāi ， shuí yòu néng qīng chǔ ne ？ bù guò huà shuō huí lái ， tài yì shèng jūn gēn lián shān 、 guī hǎi èr shèng shì tóng děng shí lì ， zhè jiàn shì què shì bù jiǎ 。 yīn wèi lián shān shèng jūn céng dāng zhe lóu huāng xiān dì yǐ jí yī zhòng wú míng zhēn xiān de miàn chéng rèn cǐ shì 。 zhì yú zuì hòu zhèng dào de nà yī wèi jīng fén dà shèng ……”
承道笑了笑：“你师兄我虽然见识不凡，但圣君证道秘密，却又并非我能知晓得了。这种事情，圣君本人不公开，谁又能清楚呢？不过话说回来，太易圣君跟连山、归海二圣是同等实力，这件事却是不假。因为连山圣君曾当着娄荒仙帝以及一众无名真仙的面承认此事。至于最后证道的那一位经坟大圣……”
As the sound grew louder, so did their impulses. They rushed towards the source of the noise, eager to find out what was making that disturbing sound.
“ shuō jù bù tài gōng jìng de huà 。 kǒng pà zài sān shèng yǎn zhōng ， jīng fén yě zhǐ bù guò shì yī wèi yǒu xiē shí lì de wǎn bèi bà le 。”
“说句不太恭敬的话。恐怕在三圣眼中，经坟也只不过是一位有些实力的晚辈罢了。”
Once this impulse arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
“ sān shèng shì shān hǎi de sān shèng 。 ér jīng fén ， què zhǐ shì wǒ men shì jiè de shèng jūn 。”
“三圣是山海的三圣。而经坟，却只是我们世界的圣君。”
Many figures on the continent suddenly flew off into the distance without control.
“ bù guò zhè yě zhǐ shì jī yú xiān jiè pò miè shí de pàn duàn ， zhè me duō nián guò qù ， jīng fén dà shèng tā lǎo rén jiā yǐ jīng shì hé zhǒng shí lì ， què wú fǎ wàng zì chuǎi cè le 。 shuō bù dìng ， dà shèng tā yǐ jīng gēn qí tā sān shèng yì bān ， yě zǒu chū le nà zuì hòu yī bù chāo tuō zhī lù ne ？”
“不过这也只是基于仙界破灭时的判断，这么多年过去，经坟大圣他老人家已经是何种实力，却无法妄自揣测了。说不定，大圣他已经跟其他三圣一般，也走出了那最后一步超脱之路呢？”
Li Fan sneered at this moment.
……
……
Under the awe-inspiring presence of the Primordial Father God, many living beings briefly regained their senses and forcibly suppressed their impulses to return to the surface.
jiē xià lái lǐ fán yòu xiàng chéng dào qǐng jiào le xiē xǔ xiān jiè yǐn mì 。 ér hòu yòu chóng xīn jiāng huà tí yǐn dǎo huí guāng wú xīng hǎi lái dí 、 nà wèi bǐ àn guān zhōng xiān shēn shàng 。
接下来李凡又向承道请教了些许仙界隐秘。而后又重新将话题引导回光吾星海来敌、那位彼岸棺中仙身上。
However, some were still rushing towards the sound with reckless abandon.
“ shàn huà ， yǐ jīng gēn jù kuī xīng de zhǐ yǐn ， zhǎo dào nà jù xiān guān le 。”
“善化，已经根据窥星的指引，找到那具仙棺了。”
They seemed to be pursuing that unpleasant noise as if it was an eternal pursuit, even more important than life or the Way!
“ guǒ rán bù chū shī xiōng suǒ liào ， nà xiān guān dàng zhēn shì dà dào yā suō níng jù zhī wù 。 àn zhào tā men cǐ kè qián xíng de sù dù ， dà yuē wǔ gè shí chén hòu ， guān zhōng xiān jiāng huì lái dào wǒ hóng huāng xiān jiè zhōng 。” lǐ fán jiāng shàn huà chuán lái de yǐng xiàng xiàng chéng dào zhǎn shì 。
“果然不出师兄所料，那仙棺当真是大道压缩凝聚之物。按照他们此刻前行的速度，大约五个时辰后，棺中仙将会来到我洪荒仙界中。”李凡将善化传来的影像向承道展示。
"This is a childish tactic to bewitch people's minds. This coffin spirit shouldn't just have this much skill," Li Fan no longer stopped them from rushing off to their deaths.
“ shì fǒu yào huàn gè dì fāng yíng zhàn ？ nǐ wǒ shī xiōng dì ， gēn nà bǐ àn xiān dòu fǎ 。 zhè fāng dà lù ， huò xǔ huì bèi yāng jí 。” chéng dào piē le yǎn xià fāng ， kāi kǒu wèn dào 。
“是否要换个地方迎战？你我师兄弟，跟那彼岸仙斗法。这方大陆，或许会被殃及。”承道撇了眼下方，开口问道。
In his vision, he saw the coffin indeed had its lid opened slightly.
“ huǐ le zài zào biàn shì 。 ruò shì zhè diǎn jié shù dōu chēng bù guò ， nà me jiù suàn bèi huǐ ， yě méi yǒu shén me kě xī de le 。 kuàng qiě ， cǐ jiè zhōng shēng líng suī rán shí lì chà le diǎn ， dàn yě miǎn qiǎng kě zuò bāng shǒu 。” lǐ fán wǎn jù le 。
“毁了再造便是。若是这点劫数都撑不过，那么就算被毁，也没有什么可惜的了。况且，此界中生灵虽然实力差了点，但也勉强可做帮手。”李凡婉拒了。
The gap was like an abyss, deep and dark, swallowing everything that entered it instantly.
chéng dào què yóu zhōng zàn yuē ：“ shī dì rú cǐ xīn tài ， pǒ yǒu xiān jiè shèng zhě zhī fēng 。”
承道却由衷赞曰：“师弟如此心态，颇有仙界圣者之风。”
All beings within a certain range of the coffin were devoured by that darkness in an instant.
lǐ fán qīng xiào ， bìng wèi yìng dá 。
李凡轻笑，并未应答。
The voice inside the coffin grew louder, and new sounds began to emerge.
“ bù guò ， bì jìng dà dí dāng qián ， hái xū zuò yī xiē zhǔn bèi cái shì ……”
“不过，毕竟大敌当前，还需做一些准备才是……”
At first, they were the noises of the lid being slowly opened. Now, something unknown was scratching against the inner walls with its nails, as if trying to struggle out from within the coffin!
chéng dào chén yín shǎo xǔ ， kāi kǒu dào ：“ ruò shì shī dì bù xián qì de huà ， wǒ yǒu yī shén tōng ， kě chuán shòu yú nǐ 。 suī bù zhī nà guān zhōng wú míng ， jiū jìng shì shēn hé hé dào 。 dàn píng cǐ shén tōng ， jiù suàn bù néng zhì dí ， zì bǎo yě zú yǐ wú yōu 。”
承道沉吟少许，开口道：“若是师弟不嫌弃的话，我有一神通，可传授于你。虽不知那棺中无名，究竟是身合何道。但凭此神通，就算不能制敌，自保也足以无忧。”
Clearly, the coffin's target was Li Fan's Primordial Chaos Realm.
lǐ fán dà xǐ ：“ shī xiōng zhè shì nǎ lǐ de huà ， wǒ qiú zhī bù dé ！”
李凡大喜：“师兄这是哪里的话，我求之不得！”
It continued to approach at an accelerated pace.
chéng dào yě bù jiǎo qíng ， líng kōng yī pāi lǐ fán méi xīn 。
承道也不矫情，凌空一拍李凡眉心。
Despite the change in sound, it did not alter its ability to attract others. The souls of the darkest star sea rushed towards the coffin like moths to a flame.
shēn qū yǔ shén hún ， shà shí jiān jiù xiàng zhòng lín liǎo wú xiàn hǎi zhōng 。 bèi wú shù fēi sù biàn huàn de jǐng xiàng suǒ chōng shuā 。
身躯与神魂，霎时间就像重临了无限海中。被无数飞速变幻的景象所冲刷。
Each one devoured increased its speed by a fraction.
lǐ fán kàn de shí fēn qīng chǔ ， qí zhōng jué dà bù fèn ， dōu shì yī dào gū jì shēn yǐng zuò shān wàng hǎi de jǐng xiàng 。
李凡看的十分清楚，其中绝大部分，都是一道孤寂身影坐山望海的景象。
Li Fan’s expression was grave as the coffin reached the sky of his Primordial Chaos Realm.
zhèng shì shǒu qiū gōng !
正是守丘公!
"Let me meet him first," said Daoist Cheng Dao, suddenly rising and stepping out.
lǐ fán céng zài 【 shǒu qiū màn bǐ 】 zhōng ， bù zhǐ yī cì jiàn dào zhè fù qíng jǐng 。
李凡曾在【守丘漫笔】中，不止一次见到这副情景。
"Before my presence, you dare make noise?"
dàn cǐ kè chéng dào suǒ chuán de bù tóng diǎn shì ， cǐ nǎi dì sān shì jiǎo de yǎng wàng ！
但此刻承道所传的不同点是，此乃第三视角的仰望！
Despite his slender figure, it seemed to contain an endless amount of energy. He struck the coffin with a powerful slap.
ér bìng fēi shǒu qiū gōng běn rén de gǎn wù 。
而并非守丘公本人的感悟。
Every movement was accompanied by the howling of mountains and seas, suppressing all the strange noises coming from within the coffin.
shǒu qiū gōng bù jǐn jǐn zuò shān wàng hǎi ， hái jiāng shēn xià yī líng shí bì yòu zài nèi 。 shǐ qí miǎn shòu shān hǎi pèng zhuàng suǒ dài lái de qīn xí 。
守丘公不仅仅坐山望海，还将身下一灵石庇佑在内。使其免受山海碰撞所带来的侵袭。
In that moment, Li Fan felt like he saw the collision of mountains and seas, waves crashing against each other.
“【 shān hǎi bù dòng shēn 】。”
“【山海不动身】。”
"Is this Daoist Cheng's true strength without holding back?" Li Fan’s pupils constricted.
“ yùn zhuàn shén tōng ， kě rú shǒu qiū gōng nà bān ， miàn duì shān hǎi cāng sāng jù biàn 、 ér shǐ zhōng kuī rán bù dòng 。”
“运转神通，可如守丘公那般，面对山海沧桑巨变、而始终岿然不动。”
The sea and mountain's force caused the coffin to tremble violently.
“ chú le fáng yù yǐ wài ， gēn jù zì shēn duì shān hǎi yì xiàng de lǐng wù chéng dù ， hái néng zì fǎ shēn shàng mó fǎng shī zhǎn chū shān hǎi chōng shuā qīn shí zhī lì 。 dāng rán ， bìng bú shì shuō píng jiè cǐ shén tōng jiù zhēn néng xiào fǎng shān hǎi le 。 ér shì jiāng duì shǒu ， lā rù zì shēn suǒ gǎn shòu de shān hǎi hào miǎo zhī jìng zhōng 。 shǐ qí fǎng fú zài shǒu qiū wàng hǎi ！”
“除了防御以外，根据自身对山海异像的领悟程度，还能自法身上模仿施展出山海冲刷侵蚀之力。当然，并不是说凭借此神通就真能效仿山海了。而是将对手，拉入自身所感受的山海浩渺之境中。使其仿佛在守丘望海！”
Already in a state of disrepair, it was further weakened by the mountain and sea's baptism, reaching its limit.
“ ruò shì duì fāng ， yǒu shǒu qiū gōng nà bān de néng nài ， yì huò zhě céng dé le shǒu qiū gōng chuán chéng 。 zì rán kě yǐ wú shì zhè zhǒng zhèn shè 。 dàn ruò shì yì bān rén ……”
“若是对方，有守丘公那般的能耐，亦或者曾得了守丘公传承。自然可以无视这种震慑。但若是一般人……”
It seemed like it would begin to disintegrate.
“ yóu qí shì céng jīng zhēn zhèng zài shān hǎi zhōng jīng lì wú biān jué wàng de nà xiē ， hǎo bù róng yì táo chū shēng tiān hòu wú shù zài ， què yòu zài lín shān hǎi 。 kǒng pà dāng chǎng jiù yào bēng kuì ！”
“尤其是曾经真正在山海中经历无边绝望的那些，好不容易逃出生天后无数载，却又再临山海。恐怕当场就要崩溃！”
But those who had high hopes for the Lighted Sea of Wu did not just have one immortal coffin. They also had the coffin spirit within it.
lǐ fán yī biān lǐng wù xué xí 【 shān hǎi bù dòng shēn 】， yī biān jiāng qí zhōng miào chù wěi wěi dào lái 。
李凡一边领悟学习【山海不动身】，一边将其中妙处娓娓道来。
Bang!
shuō de bú shì gěi zì jǐ tīng ， ér shì gěi chéng dào 。
说的不是给自己听，而是给承道。
A loud thud echoed from inside the coffin.
chéng dào tīng dé lián lián diǎn tóu ， hěn shì mǎn yì lǐ fán rú cǐ kuài sù de chéng gōng lǐng wù 。
承道听得连连点头，很是满意李凡如此快速的成功领悟。
As if in response to the mountain and sea's howling, something was fiercely hitting against the inner walls from within.
“ shī xiōng zhè yī zhāo ， dàng zhēn shì miào 。”
“师兄这一招，当真是妙。”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“ bù pà wù shāng tóng mén ， bìng qiě hái néng duì shì shàng zhēn xiān yǒu qí xiào 。 yuè shì kǒng jù dào yān zhī jié ， bù kěn chéng dān zé rèn de 。 jiù yuè huì shòu dào cǐ shén tōng yǐng xiǎng 。” lǐ fán jì xù chuī pěng 。
“不怕误伤同门，并且还能对世上真仙有奇效。越是恐惧道湮之劫，不肯承担责任的。就越会受到此神通影响。”李凡继续吹捧。
The knocking grew more urgent, like a thunderclap piercing through the night sky or light breaking through dense fog.
tóng shí jiāng 【 shān hǎi bù dòng shēn 】 shī zhǎn chū lái 。
同时将【山海不动身】施展出来。
Even with the sound of mountains and seas surrounding, it gradually overpowered that knocking noise.
lǐ fán yī jiù hái shì nà ge lǐ fán 。
李凡依旧还是那个李凡。
At its peak, the knocking suddenly ceased.
dàn zài tā shēn biān ， shì yǒu shān hǎi huán rào 。
但在他身边，似有山海环绕。
In this moment, the coffin disintegrated inch by inch. A black shadow emerged from within, rushing towards Daoist Cheng who was nearby.
chéng dào yǎn jīng yī liàng ：“ shī dì nǐ duì shān hǎi de lǐng wù pǒ shēn a ？”
承道眼睛一亮：“师弟你对山海的领悟颇深啊？”
"Be careful, Master!" Li Fan shouted in alarm.
“ shī zūn yǐ jí shī xiōng jiào de hǎo bà le ！”
“师尊以及师兄教的好罢了！”
Before he could finish his warning, the black shadow collided with Daoist Cheng.
……
……
Raindrops caused by the storm of wind and rain even reached Li Fan, who was watching from afar.
jiē xià lái yī duàn shí jiān ， lǐ fán jiù zài chéng dào de bāng zhù xià ， gǒng gù bù dòng shēn shén tōng 。 suī shuō tā yǐ jīng yǒu le 【 huàn yì zhēn 】 bì yòu ， dàn néng gòu hù tǐ de shén tōng ， yě jué bù xián duō 。 shuō bù dìng zài rì hòu mǒu gè shí jiān diǎn ， jiù néng jiù tā yī mìng 。
接下来一段时间，李凡就在承道的帮助下，巩固不动身神通。虽说他已经有了【幻亦真】庇佑，但能够护体的神通，也绝不嫌多。说不定在日后某个时间点，就能救他一命。
The Primordial Chaos Continent, which was on par with the Immortal Realm, seemed like a solitary boat floating on a tempestuous sea, swaying violently.
gù ér lǐ fán cān wù de shí fēn rèn zhēn 。 yǒu shén me kùn huò zhī chù ， dōu jí shí xiàng chéng dào xún wèn 。
故而李凡参悟的十分认真。有什么困惑之处，都及时向承道询问。
With the breeze blowing, Li Fan felt that the Way principles stabilizing his continent were slowly being disrupted.
chéng dào bù jǐn méi yǒu jué de má fán ， fǎn ér shèn shì xīn wèi 。
承道不仅没有觉得麻烦，反而甚是欣慰。
Not bothering to deal with this Primordial Chaos Realm for now, he only had the Five Heavenly Emperors and Thirteen Celestial Traces come out to maintain order.
“ tā lái le 。”
“他来了。”
Li Fan looked towards Daoist Cheng and the black shadow.
lǐ fán hū de shōu qǐ le fǎ shēn ， níng wàng tiān biān 。
李凡忽的收起了法身，凝望天边。
That black shadow was the coffin spirit, but it did not appear as a human form.
huán rào lǐ fán shēn biān de shān hǎi guāng yǐng dùn shí xiāo shī bú jiàn ， dàn hóng huāng xiān jiè zhōng ， què shì yì xiàng dǒu shēng 。
环绕李凡身边的山海光影顿时消失不见，但洪荒仙界中，却是异象陡生。
Instead, it was a large rat!
gē zhī zhī ……
咯吱吱……
Describing it simply as a rat might be inaccurate; its sudden attacks and movements were almost human-like during its strikes and biting.
shì shì fǔ xiǔ jīn shǔ hù xiāng mó cā de cì ěr shēng yīn ， zài hóng huāng dà lù shàng xiǎng qǐ 。 suǒ yǒu tīng wén de shēng líng ， quán dōu xīn dǐ yǒng qǐ yī zhèn wú fǎ kòng zhì de fán zào 。
似是腐朽金属互相摩擦的刺耳声音，在洪荒大陆上响起。所有听闻的生灵，全都心底涌起一阵无法控制的烦躁。
Its fur was colorful, like a piece of embroidered clothing.
jǐn jiē zhe ， suí zhe mó cā shēng yuè fā xiǎng liàng 。 zhè fán zào yě zhú jiàn huà zuò le chōng dòng 。
紧接着，随着摩擦声越发响亮。这烦躁也逐渐化作了冲动。
It wore a yellow straw hat on its head, but one corner seemed to have been bitten off by something, leaving a jagged edge.
qù nà mó cā shēng chuán lái de dì fāng ！ zhǎo dào shēng yīn de yuán tóu ！
去那摩擦声传来的地方！找到声音的源头！
The expression on the rat's face was vividly human-like.
zhè gǔ chōng dòng yí dàn shēng qǐ ， jiù zài nán yì zhì 。
这股冲动一旦升起，就再难抑制。
Desires such as greed, seriousness, and urgency were clearly visible.
shà shí jiān ， dà lù shàng jiù yǒu bù shǎo shēn yǐng kòng zhì bú zhù de ， cháo zhe tiān wài fēi chí ér qù 。
霎时间，大陆上就有不少身影控制不住的，朝着天外飞驰而去。
"An alien beast clan?" Li Fan thought of the Tres Deer Clan led by Emperor San Mo.
lǐ fán de lěng hēng ， jiù zài cǐ shí chuán biàn hóng huāng dà lù 。
李凡的冷哼，就在此时传遍洪荒大陆。
But quickly, he dismissed this idea because not only did the Ten Thousand Beast Wheel show no reaction to this strange rat, but Daoist Cheng's voice also warned him through a transmission.
chuàng shì fù shén de zhèn shè xià ， bù shǎo shēng líng duǎn zàn qīng xǐng guò lái 。 jiāng chōng dòng qiáng xíng yā xià ， fǎn huí dì biǎo 。
创世父神的震慑下，不少生灵短暂清醒过来。将冲动强行压下，返回地表。
"Beware, this is the Great Rat Immortal!"
dàn réng yǒu yī xiē ， bù gù yī qiè de ， xiàng zhe shēng yīn chōng fēng 。
但仍有一些，不顾一切的，向着声音冲锋。
Then, Daoist Cheng explained what the Great Rat Immortal was.
sì hū nà nán tīng de mó cā shēng ， shì tā men yǒng héng de zhuī qiú 。 qí zhòng yào chéng dù ， shèn zhì zài xìng mìng 、 dà dào zhī shàng ！
似乎那难听的摩擦声，是他们永恒的追求。其重要程度，甚至在性命、大道之上！
It wasn't an anonymous True Immortal who had achieved enlightenment on the path of the great rat. Instead, it was a result of greed and ceaseless consumption of the Way, leading to the transformation of a True Immortal.
“ gǔ huò rén xīn de yòu zhì shǒu duàn 。 zhè wèi guān zhōng xiān ， bú huì jiù zhǐ yǒu zhè diǎn jì liǎng ba ？” lǐ fán yě bù zài zǔ zhǐ ， rèn yóu xià fāng dà lù shēng líng qián fù hòu jì de qù sòng sǐ 。
“蛊惑人心的幼稚手段。这位棺中仙，不会就只有这点伎俩吧？”李凡也不再阻止，任由下方大陆生灵前赴后继的去送死。
In normal circumstances, with all the immortals gathered in the Immortal Realm, such Great Rat Immortals would not appear.
zài tā de shì yě zhōng ， nà xiān guān dí què bèi dǎ kāi le fēng gài de yī jiǎo 。
在他的视野中，那仙棺的确被打开了封盖的一角。
They only existed during the end times when there was a possibility of their survival.
quē kǒu què rú shēn yuān bān ， yōu suì 、 shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。 tūn shì zhe yǒng rù qí zhōng de yī qiè 。
缺口却如深渊般，幽邃、深不见底。吞噬着涌入其中的一切。
To increase their chances of surviving in the drifting immortal coffin, the coffin spirit often collected remnants of the Way and built the coffin.
suǒ yǒu fēi jìn xiān guān yí dìng fàn wéi zhī nèi de cún zài ， quán dōu zài shùn xī zhī jiān ， bèi nà yōu suì suǒ tūn mò 。
所有飞近仙棺一定范围之内的存在，全都在瞬息之间，被那幽邃所吞没。
However, after drifting for too long in the mountains and seas, it would either rot or be consumed by the Way's retribution.
xiān guān zhī zhōng ， shēng yīn yuè fā xiǎng liàng 。
仙棺之中，声音越发响亮。
The realm of an anonymous True Immortal was to merge with the Way.
ér qiě kāi shǐ chū xiàn le gēn zhī qián bù yí yàng de zá yīn 。
而且开始出现了跟之前不一样的杂音。
Among the three thousand ways, they were mutually exclusive. After merging with one path, they could not accommodate others.
rú guǒ shuō zuì kāi shǐ ， shì xiān guān fēng gài bèi huǎn huǎn dǎ kāi de dòng jìng 。 nà me xiàn zài ， zé shì yǒu shén me wèi zhī de mò míng cún zài ， zhèng zài yòng zhǐ jiǎ bù duàn huà zhe xiān guān nèi bì 。 sì hū shì tú zhēng zhá zhe ， cóng guān zhōng pá qǐ 。 pò guān ér chū !
如果说最开始，是仙棺封盖被缓缓打开的动静。那么现在，则是有什么未知的莫名存在，正在用指甲不断划着仙棺内壁。似乎试图挣扎着，从棺中爬起。破棺而出!
But in the special circumstances within the mountains and seas, inside a sealed coffin, perhaps this miracle of multiple paths could occur.
xiān guān de mù biāo ， hěn xiǎn rán jiù shì lǐ fán suǒ zài de hóng huāng xiān jiè 。
仙棺的目标，很显然就是李凡所在的洪荒仙界。
However, the cost was...
bù duàn jiā sù kào jìn 。
不断加速靠近。
The transformation into an alien form. The Great Rat Immortal was among these typical forms.
shēng yīn de biàn huà ， bìng méi yǒu gǎi biàn qí gǔ huò xī yǐn de xiào guǒ 。 zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng shēng líng ， rú fēi é pū huǒ bān cháo zhe xiān guān yǒng qù 。
声音的变化，并没有改变其蛊惑吸引的效果。至暗星海中生灵，如飞蛾扑火般朝着仙棺涌去。
It still had some consciousness but was dominated by its instinctive desire to merge with the Way. It wanted to devour everything around it that might be useful.
měi tūn shì yí gè ， tā de sù dù jiù kuài shàng yī fēn 。
每吞噬一个，它的速度就快上一分。
"Master, if my teacher encountered a fallen true immortal in the coffin, he would likely help bury him. But these transformed immortals must be killed without mercy!"
lǐ fán de liǎn sè níng zhòng zhōng ， xiān guān yǐ zhì hóng huāng xiān jiè tiān kōng ！
李凡的脸色凝重中，仙棺已至洪荒仙界天空！
"Leaving them alive is nothing but trouble!"
“ jiù ràng shī xiōng wǒ ， xiān huì huì tā 。”
“就让师兄我，先会会他。”
"After I subdue this monster, I will go settle accounts with the Lighted Sea of Wu," Daoist Cheng's voice contained a hint of anger.
chéng dào huò rán qǐ shēn ， yī jiǎo tà chū ， xià yī kè yǐ jīng shì chū xiàn zài xiān guān fù jìn 。
承道豁然起身，一脚踏出，下一刻已经是出现在仙棺附近。
Looking at the Great Rat Immortal who was constantly making claw movements that caused ripples in the surrounding Way, Li Fan suddenly felt something.
“ běn zūn miàn qián ， yě gǎn guā zào 。”
“本尊面前，也敢聒噪。”
"The Lighted Sea of Wu came here to suppress my dao sword and dao knife. It definitely wouldn't entrust such an irrational creature with this task..."
kàn shì shòu ruò de shēn qū ， què fǎng fú yùn hán zhe wú qióng wú jìn de néng liàng 。 shēn shǒu cháo zhe xiān guān měng dì yī pāi 。
看似瘦弱的身躯，却仿佛蕴含着无穷无尽的能量。伸手朝着仙棺猛地一拍。
Just then, Li Fan saw a glint of light flash in the Great Rat's eyes.
jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān ， yǐn yǐn bàn suí zhe shān hǎi hū xiào zhī shēng 。 jiāng lái zì xiān guān de zhèn zhèn yì xiǎng quán dōu yā xià 。
举手投足间，隐隐伴随着山海呼啸之声。将来自仙棺的阵阵异响全都压下。
He immediately transmitted his warning: "Master, be careful! This is not just a normal Great Rat Immortal."
zhè yī shùn jiān ， lǐ fán hǎo sì kàn dào le shān hǎi xiāng zhuàng 、 jīng tāo pāi làng de qí jǐng 。
这一瞬间，李凡好似看到了山海相撞、惊涛拍浪的奇景。
"Someone might have taken over its body and integrated it!"
“ zhè biàn shì chéng dào méi yǒu liú shǒu de zhēn zhèng shí lì me ？” lǐ fán tóng kǒng zhòu suō 。
“这便是承道没有留手的真正实力么？”李凡瞳孔骤缩。
Daoist Cheng’s movements froze for an instant upon hearing this.
shān hǎi de chōng shuā xià ， xiān guān jù liè chàn dǒu qǐ lái 。
山海的冲刷下，仙棺剧烈颤抖起来。
Suddenly, black fine light began to emerge from the Great Rat's claws.
běn jiù cán pò bù kān ， cǐ kè zài shòu shān hǎi xǐ lǐ ， yú shì yíng lái le jí xiàn 。
本就残破不堪，此刻再受山海洗礼，于是迎来了极限。
The light suddenly burst forth, enveloping Daoist Cheng.
sì hū yào kāi shǐ jiě tǐ 。
似乎要开始解体。
The Great Rat Immortal retreated far away, like a person, rubbing his beard with his front paws and looking pleased.
dàn bèi guāng wú xīng hǎi jì yǔ hòu wàng de ， cóng lái bù zhǐ shì yī jù xiān guān 。 ér shì nà wèi guān zhōng bǐ àn xiān 。
但被光吾星海寄予厚望的，从来不只是一具仙棺。而是那位棺中彼岸仙。
"This black light..."
pèng ！
碰！
Li Fan felt an aura similar to Mo Shou's in that light.
yǒu yī dào jù dà de mèn xiǎng ， zì xiān guān nèi bù chuán chū 。
有一道巨大的闷响，自仙棺内部传出。
"It seems not only the Rotten柯 Dao Hall is researching the power of merging with the mountains and seas," Li Fan said thoughtfully.
jiù hǎo xiàng yǒu shén me cún zài ， wèi le huí yìng wài bù de shān hǎi hū xiào zhī yīn 。 zhèng jù liè de cóng nèi pāi dǎ zhe 。
就好像有什么存在，为了回应外部的山海呼啸之音。正剧烈的从内拍打着。
Although terrifying, Li Fan was not overly concerned about Daoist Cheng.
pèng ！ pèng ！ pèng ！
碰！碰！碰！
Having survived by his side near the mountain and sea for billions of years, he wasn't so easily defeated.
"Master, the time has come," said Li Fan as he suddenly withdrew his spiritual body and gazed at the horizon.
The sea and mountain light around him instantly vanished, but in the Primordial Chaos Realm, strange phenomena began to appear.
Creak...
A harsh sound like metal rubbing against each other echoed across the Primordial Chaos Continent, causing all living beings within it to feel an uncontrollable irritation deep in their hearts.
As the sound grew louder, so did their impulses. They rushed towards the source of the noise, eager to find out what was making that disturbing sound.
Once this impulse arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
Many figures on the continent suddenly flew off into the distance without control.
Li Fan sneered at this moment.
Under the awe-inspiring presence of the Primordial Father God, many living beings briefly regained their senses and forcibly suppressed their impulses to return to the surface.
However, some were still rushing towards the sound with reckless abandon.
They seemed to be pursuing that unpleasant noise as if it was an eternal pursuit, even more important than life or the Way!
"This is a childish tactic to bewitch people's minds. This coffin spirit shouldn't just have this much skill," Li Fan no longer stopped them from rushing off to their deaths.
In his vision, he saw the coffin indeed had its lid opened slightly.
The gap was like an abyss, deep and dark, swallowing everything that entered it instantly.
All beings within a certain range of the coffin were devoured by that darkness in an instant.
The voice inside the coffin grew louder, and new sounds began to emerge.
At first, they were the noises of the lid being slowly opened. Now, something unknown was scratching against the inner walls with its nails, as if trying to struggle out from within the coffin!
Clearly, the coffin's target was Li Fan's Primordial Chaos Realm.
It continued to approach at an accelerated pace.
Despite the change in sound, it did not alter its ability to attract others. The souls of the darkest star sea rushed towards the coffin like moths to a flame.
Each one devoured increased its speed by a fraction.
Li Fan’s expression was grave as the coffin reached the sky of his Primordial Chaos Realm.
"Let me meet him first," said Daoist Cheng Dao, suddenly rising and stepping out.
"Before my presence, you dare make noise?"
Despite his slender figure, it seemed to contain an endless amount of energy. He struck the coffin with a powerful slap.
Every movement was accompanied by the howling of mountains and seas, suppressing all the strange noises coming from within the coffin.
In that moment, Li Fan felt like he saw the collision of mountains and seas, waves crashing against each other.
"Is this Daoist Cheng's true strength without holding back?" Li Fan’s pupils constricted.
The sea and mountain's force caused the coffin to tremble violently.
Already in a state of disrepair, it was further weakened by the mountain and sea's baptism, reaching its limit.
It seemed like it would begin to disintegrate.
But those who had high hopes for the Lighted Sea of Wu did not just have one immortal coffin. They also had the coffin spirit within it.
Bang!
A loud thud echoed from inside the coffin.
As if in response to the mountain and sea's howling, something was fiercely hitting against the inner walls from within.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The knocking grew more urgent, like a thunderclap piercing through the night sky or light breaking through dense fog.
Even with the sound of mountains and seas surrounding, it gradually overpowered that knocking noise.
At its peak, the knocking suddenly ceased.
In this moment, the coffin disintegrated inch by inch. A black shadow emerged from within, rushing towards Daoist Cheng who was nearby.
"Be careful, Master!" Li Fan shouted in alarm.
Before he could finish his warning, the black shadow collided with Daoist Cheng.
Raindrops caused by the storm of wind and rain even reached Li Fan, who was watching from afar.
The Primordial Chaos Continent, which was on par with the Immortal Realm, seemed like a solitary boat floating on a tempestuous sea, swaying violently.
With the breeze blowing, Li Fan felt that the Way principles stabilizing his continent were slowly being disrupted.
Not bothering to deal with this Primordial Chaos Realm for now, he only had the Five Heavenly Emperors and Thirteen Celestial Traces come out to maintain order.
Li Fan looked towards Daoist Cheng and the black shadow.
That black shadow was the coffin spirit, but it did not appear as a human form.
Instead, it was a large rat!
Describing it simply as a rat might be inaccurate; its sudden attacks and movements were almost human-like during its strikes and biting.
Its fur was colorful, like a piece of embroidered clothing.
It wore a yellow straw hat on its head, but one corner seemed to have been bitten off by something, leaving a jagged edge.
The expression on the rat's face was vividly human-like.
Desires such as greed, seriousness, and urgency were clearly visible.
"An alien beast clan?" Li Fan thought of the Tres Deer Clan led by Emperor San Mo.
But quickly, he dismissed this idea because not only did the Ten Thousand Beast Wheel show no reaction to this strange rat, but Daoist Cheng's voice also warned him through a transmission.
"Beware, this is the Great Rat Immortal!"
Then, Daoist Cheng explained what the Great Rat Immortal was.
It wasn't an anonymous True Immortal who had achieved enlightenment on the path of the great rat. Instead, it was a result of greed and ceaseless consumption of the Way, leading to the transformation of a True Immortal.
In normal circumstances, with all the immortals gathered in the Immortal Realm, such Great Rat Immortals would not appear.
They only existed during the end times when there was a possibility of their survival.
To increase their chances of surviving in the drifting immortal coffin, the coffin spirit often collected remnants of the Way and built the coffin.
However, after drifting for too long in the mountains and seas, it would either rot or be consumed by the Way's retribution.
The realm of an anonymous True Immortal was to merge with the Way.
Among the three thousand ways, they were mutually exclusive. After merging with one path, they could not accommodate others.
But in the special circumstances within the mountains and seas, inside a sealed coffin, perhaps this miracle of multiple paths could occur.
However, the cost was...
The transformation into an alien form. The Great Rat Immortal was among these typical forms.
It still had some consciousness but was dominated by its instinctive desire to merge with the Way. It wanted to devour everything around it that might be useful.
"Master, if my teacher encountered a fallen true immortal in the coffin, he would likely help bury him. But these transformed immortals must be killed without mercy!"
"Leaving them alive is nothing but trouble!"
"After I subdue this monster, I will go settle accounts with the Lighted Sea of Wu," Daoist Cheng's voice contained a hint of anger.
Looking at the Great Rat Immortal who was constantly making claw movements that caused ripples in the surrounding Way, Li Fan suddenly felt something.
"The Lighted Sea of Wu came here to suppress my dao sword and dao knife. It definitely wouldn't entrust such an irrational creature with this task..."
Just then, Li Fan saw a glint of light flash in the Great Rat's eyes.
He immediately transmitted his warning: "Master, be careful! This is not just a normal Great Rat Immortal."
"Someone might have taken over its body and integrated it!"
Daoist Cheng’s movements froze for an instant upon hearing this.
Suddenly, black fine light began to emerge from the Great Rat's claws.
The light suddenly burst forth, enveloping Daoist Cheng.
The Great Rat Immortal retreated far away, like a person, rubbing his beard with his front paws and looking pleased.
"This black light..."
Li Fan felt an aura similar to Mo Shou's in that light.
