“ qū jí bì xiōng ， yù nàn chéng xiáng 。”
“趋吉避凶，遇难成祥。”
"Have you any idea who your ancestors, the Xuanyuan clan, are?" Li Fan asked.
“ ruò zhǐ shì zài yí dìng fàn wéi zhī nèi ， huò xǔ hái néng yòng suǒ wèi tiān fù lái jiě shì 。 dàn nà xiē jiù lián hái zhēn dōu wèi néng chá jué dào de fēng xiǎn ， wǒ què wǎng wǎng yī jiù néng tí qián gǎn yìng 、 fā chū yù jǐng ……” lǐ fán shén qíng níng zhòng ， yóu bù dé tā bù xīn shēng huái yí 。
“若只是在一定范围之内，或许还能用所谓天赋来解释。但那些就连还真都未能察觉到的风险，我却往往依旧能提前感应、发出预警……”李凡神情凝重，由不得他不心生怀疑。
Xuanyuan Tan hesitated for a moment before slowly answering: "Emperor Xuantian."
“ nán bù chéng ， zhè líng jué ， gēn wǒ zì shēn wú xiàn zhī líng xìng yǒu zhe mò dà de guān lián ？ zhè jiū jìng shì zěn yàng yī zhǒng tiān fù ne ？ shì bú shì gēn wǒ ‘ chuān yuè zhě ’ de shēn fèn yǒu guān ？”
“难不成，这灵觉，跟我自身无限之灵性有着莫大的关联？这究竟是怎样一种天赋呢？是不是跟我‘穿越者’的身份有关？”
He originally didn't know this. It was only through an opportunity that he met the Heavenly Mirror and learned about his clan's background.
bù kě bì miǎn de ， yī lián chuàn de yí wèn jiē lián zài lǐ fán xīn zhōng shēng qǐ 。
不可避免的，一连串的疑问接连在李凡心中升起。
Li Fan nodded: "In the past, I had a very close relationship with Xuanyuan Hong. Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved you."
xīn xīn fǎ de dì yí gè jiē duàn ， míng yuē 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】。 àn lǐ lái shuō ， suí zhe lǐ fán xiū wèi jiàn wén de zēng zhǎng ， tā yīng dāng jù lí dá chéng zhè ge mù biāo yuè lái yuè jìn cái shì 。
新新法的第一个阶段，名曰【以我筑基】。按理来说，随着李凡修为见闻的增长，他应当距离达成这个目标越来越近才是。
Hearing Li Fan's calm words, Xuanyuan Tan was shaken. Emperor Xuantian was his ancestor from countless generations ago. And this person in front of him was also an old friend of King Xuanyuan. What about their generational gap...
dàn suí zhe shēn shàng yuè lái yuè duō de mí tuán bèi fā jué ， lǐ fán què fā xiàn zì jǐ sì hū lí 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 yuè lái yuè yuǎn le 。 nǎ pà zài bù kǎo lǜ 【 hái zhēn 】 de yīn sù xià 。
但随着身上越来越多的谜团被发掘，李凡却发现自己似乎离【以我筑基】越来越远了。哪怕在不考虑【还真】的因素下。
Xuanyuan Tan felt a bit awkward: "Then how should I address you?"
jī hū zài zhè zì wǒ huái yí de sī wéi fēng bào zhōng mí shī zì wǒ ， zhí dào shén hún shēn chù ， yī dào jí wéi shú xī de bō dòng ， sàn fà ér chū 。 rú tóng jiǔ hàn zhī gān lín ， bāng zhù lǐ fán dùn shí qīng xǐng guò lái 。
几乎在这自我怀疑的思维风暴中迷失自我，直到神魂深处，一道极为熟悉的波动，散发而出。如同久旱之甘霖，帮助李凡顿时清醒过来。
"Just call me Great Ancestor," Li Fan smiled.
zhèng shì zhòng shāng chén shuì xǔ jiǔ de hái zhēn ！
正是重伤沉睡许久的还真！
"Great... Ancestor..." Xuanyuan Tan hesitated to speak.
jǐn jǐn zhè bō dòng zhǐ shì zhuǎn shùn ér shì ， qiě wēi ruò zhì jí 。 yī jiù rú tóng píng dì yī shēng zhà léi ， jiāng lǐ fán xīn zhōng de mí wǎng shùn jiān sī suì 。
仅仅这波动只是转瞬而逝，且微弱至极。依旧如同平地一声炸雷，将李凡心中的迷惘瞬间撕碎。
After looking at Li Fan's face, he hesitated for a moment before obediently calling out.
“ shì wǒ zhe xiāng le 。”
“是我着相了。”
"Xuanyuan Hong left in haste and didn't have time to explain many things. The original opportunity became the disaster of your clan," Li Fan sighed and shook his head.
“ tiān fù yě hǎo ， jīn shǒu zhǐ yě bà 。 zhǐ yào néng wèi wǒ suǒ yòng jí kě 。 xiàn zài hái zài shí guāng cháng hé zhōng kǔ kǔ zhēng zhá qiú shēng ， yòu yǒu hé bì yào qù shēn jiū qí běn zhì ？ tú zēng fán nǎo bà le 。”
“天赋也好，金手指也罢。只要能为我所用即可。现在还在时光长河中苦苦挣扎求生，又有何必要去深究其本质？徒增烦恼罢了。”
Xuanyuan Tan was shaken to the core. Almost instantly, he thought of the mad uncle from his childhood village, Xuanyuan Sheng.
“ huò xǔ zhēn de huì yǒu zhí miàn zhè zuì shēn ào mì de nà yī tiān 。 bù guò dào nà shí hòu ， wǒ yīng gāi néng zuò dào ， wán quán de zhī xiǎo 、 chún cuì de zì wǒ le 。”
“或许真的会有直面这最深奥秘的那一天。不过到那时候，我应该能做到，完全的知晓、纯粹的自我了。”
Xuanyuan Tan's expression turned solemn: "Please, Great Ancestor, enlighten me."
hái zhēn de chū xiàn ， hǎo sì yī kē dìng xīn wán 。
还真的出现，好似一颗定心丸。
Although Li Fan looked much younger than Xuanyuan Tan, calling him a great ancestor seemed very strange.
lǐ fán shòu dào tiān mó ér yǐn fā de zì wǒ fǎn sī ， zhōng yú màn màn chè dǐ píng xī xià lái 。
李凡受到天魔而引发的自我反思，终于慢慢彻底平息下来。
However, Xuanyuan Tan didn't mind and called it naturally. It was as if he quickly accepted his junior status.
yào zhī dào ， lún huí duō shì 、 jīng lì shān hǎi wú shì jù biàn de lǐ fán ， xīn zhì bù kě wèi bù jiān dìng 。 rán ér què yī jiù bèi tiān mó suǒ yǐng xiǎng 。
要知道，轮回多世、经历山海无视剧变的李凡，心志不可谓不坚定。然而却依旧被天魔所影响。
The faint and mysterious voice that followed made him even more convinced of his choice.
“ zhè jiù shì tiān mó zhī dào me 。”
“这就是天魔之道么。”
Because this ethereal and wondrous sound was exactly the same as what he often heard in his ears!
“ zhǐ yào méi yǒu chāo tuō yú chén shì dà dào zhī shàng ， jiù bì dìng huì bèi qí yǐn fā xīn mó 。 xīn mó qiáng ruò ， shèn zhì hái gēn zì shēn xī xī xiāng guān 。 zì jǐ xīn zhōng qiān shè mì mì yuè duō ， xīn mó shèn zhì huì yuè qiáng ……”
“只要没有超脱于尘世大道之上，就必定会被其引发心魔。心魔强弱，甚至还跟自身息息相关。自己心中牵涉秘密越多，心魔甚至会越强……”
"Boy, do you know what this divine melody is?"
tiān mó bù kuì shì dú tè de zào wù ， gēn lǐ fán guò qù jiàn guò de shēng líng men 、 quán dōu jié rán bù tóng 。
天魔不愧是独特的造物，跟李凡过去见过的生灵们、全都截然不同。
Li Fan stopped after reciting a short passage to ask.
wú míng 、 chāo tuō zhě ， qiáng zé qiáng yǐ 。 zài lǐ fán kàn lái ， zhǐ shì shù zhí de qiáng dà 。
无名、超脱者，强则强矣。在李凡看来，只是数值的强大。
Xuanyuan Tan didn't know.
ér tiān mó ， zé shǔ yú jī zhì guài 。
而天魔，则属于机制怪。
"This is your great ancestor Xuanyuan passing on a message. Guiding you to go there!" Li Fan stretched out his hand and pointed towards the sky.
kě yǐ shuō tā qiáng ， yě kě yǐ shuō tā ruò 。
可以说他强，也可以说他弱。
Xuanyuan Tan looked in the direction Li Fan was pointing at, feeling somewhat confused.
zhǐ yào xīn zhōng jiān dìng chì chéng yī piàn ， nǎ pà zhù jī xiū shì ， yě dōu miǎn shòu qí kùn rǎo 。 dàn ruò xīn jìng yǒu xiá cī lòu dòng ， nǎ pà wú míng zhī jìng ， yě nán yǐ guī bì qí yǐng xiǎng 。
只要心中坚定赤诚一片，哪怕筑基修士，也都免受其困扰。但若心境有瑕疵漏洞，哪怕无名之境，也难以规避其影响。
Just sending a message? It almost led to the destruction of the Xuanyuan clan. Xuanyuan Tan found it hard to accept.
“ bìng qiě ， zhè ge zhuàng tài xià de tiān mó ……”
“并且，这个状态下的天魔……”
If Great Ancestor Xuanyuan is still alive, why would such a simple message be so complicated?
sì hū zhǐ yào bǎi tuō xīn mó ， jiē xià lái hěn zhǎng yī duàn shí jiān jiù kě miǎn shòu qí yǐng xiǎng 。 lǐ fán zài dù yán jiū qǐ le cóng xuān yuán tuò tǐ nèi tí qǔ fēn lí chū de tòu míng zǔ zhī 。
似乎只要摆脱心魔，接下来很长一段时间就可免受其影响。李凡再度研究起了从轩辕拓体内提取分离出的透明组织。
Xuanyuan Tan looked at Li Fan.
jiù xiàng shì yīng ér zài niáng tāi zhōng shí ， zhōu wéi qǐ dào bǎo hù yǔ zī yǎng zuò yòng de yáng shuǐ 。
就像是婴儿在娘胎中时，周围起到保护与滋养作用的羊水。
Li Fan then explained in detail about the Eternal Void World, the Time River, and the Starlight Salvation Theory after a moment of silence.
bì yòu zhe shàng zài chén shuì zhōng de tiān yī 。
庇佑着尚在沉睡中的天医。
To prove his words were true, Li Fan also took Xuanyuan Tan to step into the Time River briefly.
lǐ fán zhèng shì yīn wèi jiāng qí gēn tiān yī fēn lí de jǔ dòng ， cái zāo dào le tiān mó běn néng de gōng jī 。
李凡正是因为将其跟天医分离的举动，才遭到了天魔本能的攻击。
Even though Xuanyuan Tan was only a Formation Realm cultivator, he had never seen such strange scenes in his dreams.
“ tiān mó ， yīng dāng yě shì tiān fǎ jiè zūn zhě zhī yī 。”
“天魔，应当也是天法界尊者之一。”
The tiny water droplets splashing around gave him an eerie sense of destruction. The occasional waves could completely submerge him at any moment.
“ rán ér zhè duī tòu míng zǔ zhī zhōng ， què méi yǒu shǔ yú tā de yì shí 。”
“然而这堆透明组织中，却没有属于祂的意识。”
After returning from the Time River to reality, Xuanyuan Tan's face turned pale.
“ kuàng qiě ， rú ruò wǒ méi jì cuò de huà ， zhēn zhèng de tiān mó ， cǐ kè yīng dāng hái bèi bīng fēng shōu cáng zài xuán xiān zhōu zhōng 。”
“况且，如若我没记错的话，真正的天魔，此刻应当还被冰封收藏在玄仙舟中。”
"Great Ancestor, you..."
zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn ， mó nǐ chū tiān yī de shēng mìng qì xī 。 ér hòu huǎn huǎn kào jìn 。
真假之变，模拟出天医的生命气息。而后缓缓靠近。
He already understood that the person before him was not just a mere true immortal!
"Have you any idea who your ancestors, the Xuanyuan clan, are?" Li Fan asked.
Xuanyuan Tan hesitated for a moment before slowly answering: "Emperor Xuantian."
He originally didn't know this. It was only through an opportunity that he met the Heavenly Mirror and learned about his clan's background.
