shuō dào dǐ ， lǐ fán de běn zhì jiù shì zhè yàng 。
说到底，李凡的本质就是这样。
In essence, the core of what Sun Miao was doing was to create a true immortal realm, one that could withstand myriad calamities and not be destroyed by the collapse of the Dao.
jí dù zì sī ， yǒng yuǎn bú huì zhēn zhèng xìn rèn tā rén 。
极度自私，永远不会真正信任他人。
"Even if compared with the original immortal realm, it would have advanced further," he thought as he returned to the High Heaven Platform within the Black and Yellow World. "Enduring countless tribulations without decay, facing the collapse of the Dao without destruction."
jiù xiàng tā shàng shì fán rén ， zài dà xuán wáng cháo zhōng zhèng mìng shí suǒ zuò de nà yàng 。 dàn fán shè jí qián tú 、 nǎi zhì xìng mìng yōu guān zhī shì ， lǐ fán dōu shì bì gōng qīn 。
就像他尚是凡人，在大玄王朝中挣命时所做的那样。但凡涉及前途、乃至性命攸关之事，李凡都事必躬亲。
With his goal in hand, the Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet did not stop for a moment but directly returned inside the high wall.
shēn shān xún zhǎo kuàng mài 、 shuài lǐng huǒ qiāng duì jiǎo fěi 。 nǎi zhì zài luàn mín chōng jī jiù xià láng yá wáng ， zuì hòu yòu qīn shǒu liǎo jié duì fāng de xìng mìng 。 jiū qí gēn běn yuán yīn ， dōu shì tā bù fàng xīn jiāng zhè xiē shì jiāo yǔ páng rén 。
深山寻找矿脉、率领火枪队剿匪。乃至在乱民冲击救下琅琊王，最后又亲手了结对方的性命。究其根本原因，都是他不放心将这些事交予旁人。
He glanced at the distant Starless Sea and left behind a fragment of divine consciousness before quietly entering it.
zhǐ néng qīn zì chū mǎ 。
只能亲自出马。
On one hand, he was probing the news about the Holy Merchant. On the other, he simultaneously measured the time difference between the inside and outside of the high wall.
rú jīn lún huí bǎi zài guò qù ， lǐ fán de shí lì suī yǐ jīng néng suí yì ná niē zhēn xiān 。 dàn zhè yì diǎn què shǐ zhōng wèi biàn 。
如今轮回百载过去，李凡的实力虽已经能随意拿捏真仙。但这一点却始终未变。
Although the Heavenly King had been destroyed, the Pillar of Heaven still existed. Sun Miao did not intend to directly seal off the Pillar of Heaven's suction force or cancel out the time differences on both sides of the high wall at this moment.
chén shì jiān de cún xù ， qiān shè dào zì shēn xìng mìng 。
尘世间的存续，牵涉到自身性命。
Due to the isolation effect of the high wall, even if the Black and Yellow Star Sea was completely overturned, it would have no impact on the Starless Sea or surrounding star systems.
gù ér lǐ fán duàn rán shì bú huì wán quán jiāng qí jiāo yóu tā rén jué dìng de 。
故而李凡断然是不会完全将其交由他人决定的。
Even with ten sects fleeing, it wouldn't affect the overall trend.
nǎ pà shǒu qiū 、 sān shèng děng ， wú lùn cóng dào dé 、 yì huò zhě shí lì céng miàn ， sì hū dōu zài cǐ kè de lǐ fán zhī shàng 。
哪怕守丘、三圣等，无论从道德、亦或者实力层面，似乎都在此刻的李凡之上。
Thus, they were likely to continue developing according to the familiar historical process that Sun Miao was familiar with. This was precisely what he wanted.
yě wú fǎ duì lǐ fán xīn zhōng de jué yì yǐng xiǎng fēn háo 。
也无法对李凡心中的决议影响分毫。
"Divine Network and the remnants of true immortals are in contention; the reverse immortal repeatedly intervenes, turning the tide..."
zhī suǒ yǐ xiàn zài xuǎn zé ràng tā men xiān “ káng zhe ”， zhǐ bù guò shì yīn wèi lǐ fán lì yǒu bù dǎi bà le 。
之所以现在选择让他们先“扛着”，只不过是因为李凡力有不逮罢了。
Sun Miao recalled Cheng Dao's narration as a flash of light appeared in his eyes. He returned to the Black and Yellow World, carrying the High Heaven Platform with him. The Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet then took out another stone tablet.
shì xiàn cóng shí guāng cháng hé jìn tóu shōu huí ， lǐ fán cāo zòng zhe dà tiān zūn kuǐ lěi de shēn qū ， màn bù zài zhì àn xīng hǎi zhī zhōng 。
视线从时光长河尽头收回，李凡操纵着大天尊傀儡的身躯，漫步在至暗星海之中。
This was left by the Heavenly King, a replica of the Divine Key from the immortal realm's High Heaven Platform.
suī rán jiāng xiān yù qí zi quán bù tūn shì ， dàn lǐ fán què yǐn yǐn chá jué dào ， zhè jù kuǐ lěi zhī shēn de lì liàng 、 shí zé bìng méi yǒu duō shǎo de jìn bù 。
虽然将仙域棋子全部吞噬，但李凡却隐隐察觉到，这具傀儡之身的力量、实则并没有多少的进步。
Sun Miao placed both items before him and carefully compared them.
bù shuō chāo tuō zhī jìng ， jiù lián jù lí zhèng dào wú míng dōu hái chà de yuǎn 。
不说超脱之境，就连距离证道无名都还差的远。
"Indeed, the Heavenly King cannot be underestimated. A newly ascended true immortal who hasn't yet connected to the Infinite Sea could perfectly replicate the divine inscriptions on the High Heaven Platform in a rush."
hǎo zài lǐ fán yě bìng bù zhǐ wàng zhe dà tiān zūn xiān guī zuò wéi zhēn zhèng zhàn lì ， zhǐ shì chōng dāng fāng biàn xíng zǒu 、 diào yòng wú xiàn xiān lì de gōng jù bà le 。
好在李凡也并不指望着大天尊仙傀作为真正战力，只是充当方便行走、调用无限仙力的工具罢了。
After some time, Sun Miao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
xiān zhèn 、 shǒu qiū xū yǐng 、 zhēn yì jiǎ shén tōng ……
仙阵、守丘虚影、真亦假神通……
His detailed comparison revealed that the stone tablet left by the Heavenly King had almost perfectly replicated most of the useful true immortal inscriptions from the High Heaven Platform.
zhè xiē cái shì lǐ fán zhēn zhèng de shā shǒu jiǎn 。
这些才是李凡真正的杀手锏。
"Although it lacks the core prohibition: connecting to the Infinite Sea," he said as he gently stroked the Divine Key stone tablet. Countless light points seemed to swarm towards the tablet from all directions.
jiě jué le xiān xū yǐn yōu hòu ， lǐ fán zuì hòu lái dào le zhì àn xīng hǎi zhī xià ， wú shù shēng jī huì jù de nà piàn wā dì zhōng 。
解决了仙墟隐忧后，李凡最后来到了至暗星海之下，无数生机汇聚的那片洼地中。
Soon, another identical eight-sided square High Heaven Platform appeared before him.
zài zhè ge shí jiān jié diǎn shàng ， qīng míng zhū shàng wèi wán quán pò suì 。 sī tú xīng yě méi yǒu chè dǐ shī qù lì liàng 。
在这个时间节点上，青冥珠尚未完全破碎。司徒星也没有彻底失去力量。
While creating these virtual objects, Sun Miao also filled in the missing content on the stone tablet.
wā dì àn hé zhōng suǒ kāi pì de shēng líng zhī xíng jìn dù ， yě gēn bā qiān nián hòu dà xiāng jìng tíng 。
洼地暗河中所开辟的生灵之形进度，也跟八千年后大相径庭。
With his multiple entries into the Infinite Sea and even merging with the mountains and seas, the characters he added for connecting to the Infinite Sea were even more efficient than those left by the original High Heaven Platform.
lǐ fán shǒu xiān jiāng qīng míng zhū zhèn yā shōu qǐ ， ér hòu cái màn yōu yōu xún zhǎo zháo sī tú xīng 、 yì huò zhě shuō ， xíng wú quē de zōng jì 。 huò xǔ shì réng zài shì fàng shēng jī de qīng míng zhū de mò míng xiāo shī ， yǐn qǐ le tā de jǐng jué 。
李凡首先将青冥珠镇压收起，而后才慢悠悠寻找着司徒星、亦或者说，刑无缺的踪迹。或许是仍在释放生机的青冥珠的莫名消失，引起了他的警觉。
Next, following this method, Sun Miao created two more eight-sided square buildings.
tuō zhuó zhòng shāng zhī qū ， yě yào zài zhè piàn wā dì àn hé zhōng fēi sù táo dùn 。
拖着重伤之躯，也要在这片洼地暗河中飞速逃遁。
Four High Heaven Platforms silently floated above the Black and Yellow World.
zhǐ kě xī ， xīng hǎi xià zhěng zuò shēng líng zhī xíng ， dōu yǐ jīng jìn shù zài lǐ fán de zhǎng wò zhī zhōng 。 tā yòu néng táo dào nǎ lǐ qù ？
只可惜，星海下整座生灵之形，都已经尽数在李凡的掌握之中。他又能逃到哪里去？
"Ordinary living beings wish to connect with the Infinite Sea; apart from reaching true immortal status themselves, they also need a divine official to use their divine essence power to activate specific true immortal inscriptions on the platform," Sun Miao said.
lǐ fán zhǐ dàn dàn yī jù ：“ sī tú xiān xiāng ， bié lái wú yàng fǒu ？”
李凡只淡淡一句：“司徒仙相，别来无恙否？”
"With this, they can formally connect with the Infinite Sea and the Peak Mountain. By treading upon the mountains and seas, they can achieve true immortality."
jiù jiāng tā táo dùn de xíng wéi zhōng jié 。
就将他逃遁的行为终结。
"The Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet can serve as a值守仙官 (a divine official) in the Black and Yellow World. Using these four platforms to enshrine countless true immortals," he said with an air of pride.
“ shì nǎ wèi gù rén ？” yī piàn sǐ jì guò hòu ， jī dòng 、 yí huò yǐ jí jǐng tì de shēng yīn ， biàn cóng sī tú xīng kǒu zhōng chuán lái 。
“是哪位故人？”一片死寂过后，激动、疑惑以及警惕的声音，便从司徒星口中传来。
He carved different characters on each of the four High Heaven Platforms. The character on the platform transformed from the Heavenly King's stone tablet was familiar to Sun Miao as the transformation between mortal and immortal. The other three inscriptions were similar but slightly different in subtle details.
lǐ fán cāo zòng zhe chū dài xiān guī ， xiǎn chū yǐng zōng 。
李凡操纵着初代仙傀，显出影踪。
"It is merely a method for connecting with the Infinite Sea."
sī tú xīng wēi wēi lèng zhù ， bù yóu shuō dào ：“ chū dài ？ bú shì zǎo jiù ……”
司徒星微微愣住，不由说道：“初代？不是早就……”
"If I didn't want to expose myself within the view of the Infinite Sea, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. With a single thought, I could send all living beings in the Black and Yellow World into the Infinite Sea," he said.
“ bú duì ！” sī tú xīng fǎng fú yì shí dào le shén me ， shén qíng jù biàn 。
“不对！”司徒星仿佛意识到了什么，神情剧变。
"But the outcome would not be under my control."
shēn xíng huà zuò yī lǚ hēi yān ， hái xiǎng jì xù dùn zǒu 。
身形化作一缕黑烟，还想继续遁走。
Although the High Heaven Platforms were ready, Sun Miao did not rush to enshrine immortals.
què yòu rú hé lái de jí ？
却又如何来得及？
The foundation of the Black and Yellow World was still too weak. The fluctuations caused by a single true immortal appearing might easily tear it apart.
shùn xī zhī jiān ， jiù yǐ jīng bèi lǐ fán qín ná 。
瞬息之间，就已经被李凡擒拿。
While the enhanced plan from before that had pushed the Black and Yellow World towards enlightenment was feasible, it was too troublesome and inefficient for him now.
sī tú xīng yòu jīng yòu nù ， què zài yě wú fǎ fā chū bàn diǎn shēng xiǎng 。
司徒星又惊又怒，却再也无法发出半点声响。
He had better methods.
zǎo yǐ jīng jiāng qí nèi lǐ guān chá de tòu chè ， lǐ fán zhí jiē tiào guò le wén xùn de guò chéng ， jiāng qí liàn huà dǎ zào chéng yī gēn tiān zhù 。
早已经将其内里观察的透彻，李凡直接跳过了闻讯的过程，将其炼化打造成一根天柱。
"Life and death are one; aligning with the Dao to become true. Free from worldly concerns, my pills will be complete..."
zhì cǐ ， céng jīng de hóng huāng xiān jiè sì dà tiān zhù ， yuán shǐ 、 jī xiān 、 tiān dōu dà fǎ shī 、 sī tú xīng ， zhè yī shì zài dù qí jù 。
至此，曾经的洪荒仙界四大天柱，元始、饥仙、天都大法师、司徒星，这一世再度齐聚。
Sun Miao slowly recited as the Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet exhaled a mist of energy. This energy was transformed from the remnants of the immortal realm and several domains he had ingested.
“ qián sān zhě xiào néng ， bǐ qǐ shàng yī shì lüè yǒu bù jí 。 dǎo shì zhè sī tú xīng suǒ huà 【 kè 】 zhī tiān zhù ， yīn méi yǒu le bā qiān duō nián de sǔn hào ， fǎn dào shì gèng yǒu yòng xiē 。”
“前三者效能，比起上一世略有不及。倒是这司徒星所化【刻】之天柱，因没有了八千多年的损耗，反倒是更有用些。”
He sat high above, overlooking the chaotic world below. A pill furnace seemed to appear before his eyes.
“ zhǐ shì hái yuǎn yuǎn bù gòu a 。” lǐ fán wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
“只是还远远不够啊。”李凡微微摇头。
With his mind's eye, the mist exhaled by the Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet silently implanted itself into various parts of the Black and Yellow World.
shàng yī shì tā dǎ zào de hóng huāng xiān jiè ， kàn shì gù ruò jīn tāng 、 yǐ sì tiān zhù wèi zhī chēng xuán yú xīng hǎi zhī shàng ， néng yí dìng chéng dù dǐ yù dào yān zhī jié 。
上一世他打造的洪荒仙界，看似固若金汤、以四天柱为支撑悬于星海之上，能一定程度抵御道湮之劫。
"During the process of refining the pills, even if the flames burn fiercely, the living beings within will not notice."
dàn dāng guāng wú xīng hǎi huò shuǐ dōng yǐn ， jiāng shuò shǔ xiān sòng lái 、 yǐn dé dào yān dà cháo zhōng nà jù chāo tuō qiáng zhě yí tuì de zhù yì zhī hòu 。
但当光吾星海祸水东引，将硕鼠仙送来、引得道湮大潮中那具超脱强者遗蜕的注意之后。
"Until..."
zhěng gè hóng huāng xiān jiè ， jiù dùn shí xiàn rù fēng yǔ piāo yáo zhī zhōng 。 jiù suàn jiā shàng gāo qiáng ， yě suí shí huì yǒu qīng tā fù miè zhī xiāng 。
整个洪荒仙界，就顿时陷入风雨飘摇之中。就算加上高墙，也随时会有倾塌覆灭之相。
Sun Miao continuously formed hand seals with his hands, using the authority of the Great Heavenly Lord of the Black and Yellow to subtly trigger changes in the world.
hái shì hòu lái chéng dào zhǔ dòng jiāng shuò xīng hǎi dào wǎng róng rù jié hé ， dǎ zào le gāo qiáng - shuò xīng hǎi lián hé tǐ zhī hòu ， cái miǎn qiǎng zhī chēng xià lái 。
还是后来承道主动将朔星海道网融入结合，打造了高墙-朔星海联合体之后，才勉强支撑下来。
The Black and Yellow World was one of the core test sites for the chaotic realm's immortal cultivation methods, so it instinctively understood many aspects of the immortal realm.
xiàn zài hái zhēn xiàn rù chén shuì ， gāo qiáng nèi zhì àn xīng hǎi chéng wéi le lǐ fán de lì zú zhī jī 。 zòng shǐ shàng yī shì chéng dào biǎo xiàn chū le zú gòu de shàn yì ， lǐ fán yě bú huì jiāng zì jǐ de shēn jiā xìng mìng jiāo fù gěi tā 。
现在还真陷入沉睡，高墙内至暗星海成为了李凡的立足之基。纵使上一世承道表现出了足够的善意，李凡也不会将自己的身家性命交付给他。
Like a puppy eagerly sniffing dog treats, the Dao of the Black and Yellow Sky could not hold back its excitement. It quickly executed all instructions, eager to please Sun Miao.
hǎo zài lǐ fán xīn zhōng zǎo yǒu yù àn 。
好在李凡心中早有预案。
With the nourishment from the immortal realm's mist and the world's active acceptance of these changes, the flames in the Black and Yellow World grew fiercely!
“ xiǎng yào dǎ zào yǒng héng xiān zhōu ， hái shì zhǐ néng kào zì jǐ 。”
“想要打造永恒仙舟，还是只能靠自己。”
To create an eternal immortal ship and replicate the immortal realm, merely relying on fragments of the immortal realm and a few domain chess pieces was not enough.
chū dài xiān guī zài lǐ fán de shì yì xià ， fēi dùn dào le zhì àn xīng hǎi biān chuí 。 kuà guò le gāo qiáng ， lái dào le shuò xīng hǎi zhōng 。
初代仙傀在李凡的示意下，飞遁到了至暗星海边陲。跨过了高墙，来到了朔星海中。
"Every inch higher on Peak Mountain is equivalent to overturning heaven and earth..."
yīn wèi xiān xū xī lì de yǐng xiǎng ， gāo qiáng nèi wài shí jiān liú sù cún zài zhe jù dà de chā jù 。
因为仙墟吸力的影响，高墙内外时间流速存在着巨大的差距。
In Sun Miao's mind, the words from the Sage Emperor Taiyi's "Initial Opening of Mountains and Seas" chapter flashed by like meteors.
shàng yī shì lǐ fán cè dìng ， nèi wài shí jiān chà yǒu yì bǎi èr shí bèi zhī duō 。
上一世李凡测定，内外时间差有一百二十倍之多。
Indeed, with his current strength, he could not create an immortal realm out of thin air.
tǎng ruò àn zhào zhè ge bǐ lì cè suàn ， xuán huáng jiè chū shǐ máo diǎn qián bā qiān liù bǎi nián ， shuò xīng hǎi yīng shì bǎi wàn nián zhī qián ！
倘若按照这个比例测算，玄黄界初始锚点前八千六百年，朔星海应是百万年之前！
But if he used a body to return to life, transplanting the Black and Yellow World into the ruins of the immortal realm on Peak Mountain, he could still manage it.
dàn xiān xū de xī lì ， shì yīn jī xiān wù dào ér huǎn màn zēng qiáng 。 shí jiān liú sù bǐ yě bìng fēi shì yī chéng bù biàn ， ér shì xú xú zēng jiā de 。
但仙墟的吸力，是因饥仙悟道而缓慢增强。时间流速比也并非是一成不变，而是徐徐增加的。
Not long ago, after swallowing the remnants of the immortal realm and several domain chess pieces, the Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet had vaguely seen their original appearance in Peak Mountain.
lǐ fán sǎo shì sì zhōu xīng kōng ， jiāng mù shì suǒ jiàn 、 gēn jì yì zhōng shuò xīng hǎi xíng mào jìn xíng duì bǐ 。
李凡扫视四周星空，将目视所见、跟记忆中朔星海形貌进行对比。
Scattered like stars across endless mountain ranges, they seemed to be the last lights in darkness.
fā xiàn suī yǒu biàn huà ， què yě miǎn qiǎng kě yǐ fēn biàn 。
发现虽有变化，却也勉强可以分辨。
Sun Miao immediately understood that since they hadn't been devoured by the collapse of the Dao, their foundations still existed within Peak Mountain.
“ kàn lái zhè duàn shí jiān ， shuò xīng hǎi yì zhí wéi chí zhe xiāng duì ān quán wěn dìng de zhuàng tài 。”
“看来这段时间，朔星海一直维持着相对安全稳定的状态。”
What he needed to do now was gather these remnants and rebuild on top of the ruins!
“ huò xǔ shì yīn wèi zài gāo qiáng fù jìn de yuán yīn 。”
“或许是因为在高墙附近的原因。”
As the refining furnace's flames flickered, the scattered light points across the mountains were gradually drawn together by this mysterious force.
“ dào wǎng shàng bù cún zài ， zhū duō xìng cún xiū shì 、 nǎi zhì zhēn xiān qí jù 。”
“道网尚不存在，诸多幸存修士、乃至真仙齐聚。”
The process was extremely slow, but Sun Miao had great patience. After all, if something went wrong during pill refinement and the Black and Yellow World was destroyed, he would have to rebuild his foundation in the long river of time.
lǐ fán tiào wàng zhe yuǎn chù nà piàn shēng jī àng rán de guāng míng ， zǐ xì biàn bié zhe qí zhōng qì xī 。
李凡眺望着远处那片生机盎然的光明，仔细辨别着其中气息。
Even if he didn't die, he would still struggle for survival.
dàn tā cǐ cì yuè chū gāo qiáng de mù dì ， què bú shì shuò xīng hǎi zhōng zhòng rén 。
但他此次跃出高墙的目的，却不是朔星海中众人。
However, despite the involvement with his own life and safety, Sun Miao felt no hesitation or fear when refining the pills. Instead, he was confident that it would succeed.
bìng méi yǒu zǒu yuǎn ， xún zhe shàng yī shì de jì yì ， lǐ fán hěn kuài jiù lái dào le gāo qiáng wài 、 yī piàn sǐ jì de xīng kōng 。
并没有走远，循着上一世的记忆，李凡很快就来到了高墙外、一片死寂的星空。
Sun Miao noticed this change at the beginning of pill refinement. As the process continued, his confidence grew stronger.
zài yī piàn fèi xū zhōng ， xìng yùn de zhǎo dào le mù biāo 。
在一片废墟中，幸运的找到了目标。
"This confidence is not from my mastery of the Pill Refinement King Scripture," he thought. "Nor is it from my understanding of Peak Mountain and the Infinite Sea."
bā jiǎo sì fāng lóu ， dēng xiān tái ！
八角四方楼，登仙台！
"It's... The Black and Yellow World itself is a half-formed pill."
shàng yī shì ， xiān shòu qián ruò cháng zhèng shì kào zhe cǐ dēng xiān tái ， chuàng zào le yī zūn xuè ròu zhēn xiān 。
上一世，仙狩钱若常正是靠着此登仙台，创造了一尊血肉真仙。
"Just follow the steps without overcomplicating things; this pill will definitely succeed!"
“ cǐ dēng xiān tái zài shǒu ， wǒ biàn kě zài bù bào lù zì shēn de qíng kuàng xià ， yú zhì àn xīng hǎi nèi dà fēng qún xiān 、 zài zào xiān jiè ！”
“此登仙台在手，我便可在不暴露自身的情况下，于至暗星海内大封群仙、再造仙界！”
"Sun Miao!"
“ jiè shí ， wú lùn shì niú mǎ zǒu gǒu 、 yì huò zhě tiān zhù cái liào ， dōu shì yīng yǒu jìn yǒu le 。” lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng ， duì yī qiè yǐ rán chéng zhú zài xiōng 。
“届时，无论是牛马走狗、亦或者天柱材料，都是应有尽有了。”李凡目光闪动，对一切已然成竹在胸。
Realizing this, Sun Miao continued his pill refinement without pausing.
In essence, the core of what Sun Miao was doing was to create a true immortal realm, one that could withstand myriad calamities and not be destroyed by the collapse of the Dao.
"Even if compared with the original immortal realm, it would have advanced further," he thought as he returned to the High Heaven Platform within the Black and Yellow World. "Enduring countless tribulations without decay, facing the collapse of the Dao without destruction."
With his goal in hand, the Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet did not stop for a moment but directly returned inside the high wall.
He glanced at the distant Starless Sea and left behind a fragment of divine consciousness before quietly entering it.
On one hand, he was probing the news about the Holy Merchant. On the other, he simultaneously measured the time difference between the inside and outside of the high wall.
Although the Heavenly King had been destroyed, the Pillar of Heaven still existed. Sun Miao did not intend to directly seal off the Pillar of Heaven's suction force or cancel out the time differences on both sides of the high wall at this moment.
Due to the isolation effect of the high wall, even if the Black and Yellow Star Sea was completely overturned, it would have no impact on the Starless Sea or surrounding star systems.
Even with ten sects fleeing, it wouldn't affect the overall trend.
Thus, they were likely to continue developing according to the familiar historical process that Sun Miao was familiar with. This was precisely what he wanted.
"Divine Network and the remnants of true immortals are in contention; the reverse immortal repeatedly intervenes, turning the tide..."
Sun Miao recalled Cheng Dao's narration as a flash of light appeared in his eyes. He returned to the Black and Yellow World, carrying the High Heaven Platform with him. The Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet then took out another stone tablet.
This was left by the Heavenly King, a replica of the Divine Key from the immortal realm's High Heaven Platform.
Sun Miao placed both items before him and carefully compared them.
"Indeed, the Heavenly King cannot be underestimated. A newly ascended true immortal who hasn't yet connected to the Infinite Sea could perfectly replicate the divine inscriptions on the High Heaven Platform in a rush."
After some time, Sun Miao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
His detailed comparison revealed that the stone tablet left by the Heavenly King had almost perfectly replicated most of the useful true immortal inscriptions from the High Heaven Platform.

With his multiple entries into the Infinite Sea and even merging with the mountains and seas, the characters he added for connecting to the Infinite Sea were even more efficient than those left by the original High Heaven Platform.
Next, following this method, Sun Miao created two more eight-sided square buildings.
Four High Heaven Platforms silently floated above the Black and Yellow World.
"Ordinary living beings wish to connect with the Infinite Sea; apart from reaching true immortal status themselves, they also need a divine official to use their divine essence power to activate specific true immortal inscriptions on the platform," Sun Miao said.
"With this, they can formally connect with the Infinite Sea and the Peak Mountain. By treading upon the mountains and seas, they can achieve true immortality."

With the nourishment from the immortal realm's mist and the world's active acceptance of these changes, the flames in the Black and Yellow World grew fiercely!
To create an eternal immortal ship and replicate the immortal realm, merely relying on fragments of the immortal realm and a few domain chess pieces was not enough.
"Every inch higher on Peak Mountain is equivalent to overturning heaven and earth..."
In Sun Miao's mind, the words from the Sage Emperor Taiyi's "Initial Opening of Mountains and Seas" chapter flashed by like meteors.
Indeed, with his current strength, he could not create an immortal realm out of thin air.
But if he used a body to return to life, transplanting the Black and Yellow World into the ruins of the immortal realm on Peak Mountain, he could still manage it.
Not long ago, after swallowing the remnants of the immortal realm and several domain chess pieces, the Great Heavenly Lord Immortal puppet had vaguely seen their original appearance in Peak Mountain.
Scattered like stars across endless mountain ranges, they seemed to be the last lights in darkness.
Sun Miao immediately understood that since they hadn't been devoured by the collapse of the Dao, their foundations still existed within Peak Mountain.
What he needed to do now was gather these remnants and rebuild on top of the ruins!
As the refining furnace's flames flickered, the scattered light points across the mountains were gradually drawn together by this mysterious force.
The process was extremely slow, but Sun Miao had great patience. After all, if something went wrong during pill refinement and the Black and Yellow World was destroyed, he would have to rebuild his foundation in the long river of time.
Even if he didn't die, he would still struggle for survival.
However, despite the involvement with his own life and safety, Sun Miao felt no hesitation or fear when refining the pills. Instead, he was confident that it would succeed.
Sun Miao noticed this change at the beginning of pill refinement. As the process continued, his confidence grew stronger.
"This confidence is not from my mastery of the Pill Refinement King Scripture," he thought. "Nor is it from my understanding of Peak Mountain and the Infinite Sea."
"It's... The Black and Yellow World itself is a half-formed pill."
"Just follow the steps without overcomplicating things; this pill will definitely succeed!"
"Sun Miao!"
Realizing this, Sun Miao continued his pill refinement without pausing.
