xuán huáng xiān jiè suī méi yǒu zì rán dàn shēng 【 jié dào zhī shēng 】 xiāng guān dào zé ， dàn què bèi lǐ fán tōng guò liàn dào yào wáng jīng ， yǐ 【 pí pá 】 rù yào de fāng shì ， fù yǔ le cǐ zhǒng néng lì 。
玄黄仙界虽没有自然诞生【截道之生】相关道则，但却被李凡通过炼道药王经，以【枇杷】入药的方式，赋予了此种能力。
Though the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm did not naturally give rise to the concept of [Severed Path Life], Li Fan had endowed it with this ability through the Refining Dao Medicine King Scripture, using jujube as an ingredient.
dà dào céng miàn de gǎi zào ， jī hū xíng rú xiān tiān zhī shēng 。 zuì chū zhī shí ， huò xǔ réng hái yǒu xiē zhì sè 。 dàn suí zhe shí jiān màn màn liú shì ， jiù huì zì rán ér rán de chéng wéi le xuán huáng xiān jiè liú zhuǎn tiān dào de yī bù fèn 。
大道层面的改造，几乎形如先天之生。最初之时，或许仍还有些滞涩。但随着时间慢慢流逝，就会自然而然的成为了玄黄仙界流转天道的一部分。
The transformation at the grand dao level was almost akin to a primordial birth. Initially, there might have been some hesitance. But over time, it naturally became part of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm's flowing heavenly path.
“ yǐ dào rù yào ， yǐ yào liàn dào 。 tài wēi shèng cǐ fǎ mén ， gēn sūn piāo miǎo liàn dào yào wáng jīng ， yǒu xiē xǔ xiāng sì zhī chù 。 dàn sūn piāo miǎo jiāng qí shì zuò xiū xíng gēn běn ， ér zài tài wēi shèng dì yǎn zhōng ， yào pǔ zhōng wàn qiān yào cái ， bù guò jiē shì gōng jù bà le 。 shèng dì dào tú gēn běn ， hái shì nà héng kuà shān hǎi de wú shàng shèng cháo ……”
“以道入药，以药炼道。太微圣此法门，跟孙缥缈炼道药王经，有些许相似之处。但孙缥缈将其视作修行根本，而在太微圣帝眼中，药圃中万千药材，不过皆是工具罢了。圣帝道途根本，还是那横跨山海的无上圣朝……”
"Using dao in medicine and refining dao with medicine—this method by Great Sage Taiyi is somewhat similar to Sun Piapo's Refining Dao Medicine King Scripture. However, while Sun Piapo regards it as the foundation of cultivation, in the eyes of Great Sage Taiyi, all the myriad medicinal herbs in the herb garden are merely tools. The fundamental path of the sage emperor lies in that supreme holy dynasty spanning mountains and seas..."
gēn huī hóng tài wēi shèng cháo xiāng bǐ ， lǐ fán suǒ dǎ zào de xuán huáng xiān jiè ， jiǎn zhí bù zhí yī tí 。
跟恢弘太微圣朝相比，李凡所打造的玄黄仙界，简直不值一提。
Compared to the grand and majestic Great Sage Taiyi Dynasty, Li Fan's Xuanhuang Immortal Realm was insignificant.
bù guò lǐ fán dǎo shì méi yǒu zì jué cū bǐ 。
不过李凡倒是没有自觉粗鄙。
The so-called "insect swarm" had little relation to true insects. In the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, spirits did not possess life; they were manifestations of heaven and earth's power. It was merely a habit for Li Fan to call them that way.
“ xuán huáng suī xiǎo ， què yǒu wú xiàn kě néng 。 shèng cháo què guǎng ， rán dào tú yǐ jì dìng 。”
“玄黄虽小，却有无限可能。圣朝确广，然道途已既定。”
Now, the essence of the insect swarm was a form of strength similar to that of Xuanhuang's absorbed Xuanji, cultivated within the realm itself. As such, it was controlled by its Xuanhuang parents, Li Fan.
“ yù gēn shān hǎi tóng gé ， jiāng lái bì dìng huì gēn bǐ àn dà shì zhōng zhū duō qiáng zhě yǒu yī zhàn 。 shì fǒu néng zhēn zhèng tà chū zuì hòu yī bù ， yě shì wèi zhī zhī shù 。 ér wǒ zhī xuán huáng xiān jiè ……”
“欲跟山海同格，将来必定会跟彼岸大世中诸多强者有一战。是否能真正踏出最后一步，也是未知之数。而我之玄黄仙界……”
"Xuanji hasn't fully absorbed everything from Xuanji."
lǐ fán shēn chū shǒu zhǎng ， dǎ liàng zhe zhǎng xīn qiǎo rán xiǎn xiàn de yī lì hēi sè xiǎo diǎn 。
李凡伸出手掌，打量着掌心悄然显现的一粒黑色小点。
"I need to find something for Xuanji to do to keep his attention diverted."
zhèng shì xī qǔ tóng huà le bù fèn mò shā lì liàng de dào yī chóng 。
正是吸取同化了部分墨杀力量的道一虫。
Within the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm and even in the primordial possibilities, newborn Xuanji was almost invincible. Finding a suitable opponent would require looking beyond these possibilities.
mò shā yǐ jīng chéng gōng jiāng pí pá liàn huà ， wèi le fáng zhǐ bèi qí chá jué ， dào yī chóng àn zhōng de qīn shí yě jiù zàn shí tíng zhǐ 。
墨杀已经成功将枇杷炼化，为了防止被其察觉，道一虫暗中的侵蚀也就暂时停止。
However, with the current level of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, it wasn't sufficient for Li Fan to safely cross the mountains and seas. Thus, he first thought of the fishing pond.
suī zhǐ mò mò jí qǔ le sān shí duō tiān shí jiān ， dàn dào yī chóng gēn guò qù xiāng bǐ ， nèi lǐ yǐ jīng fā shēng le fān tiān fù dì de biàn huà 。
虽只默默汲取了三十多天时间，但道一虫跟过去相比，内里已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。
Or rather, the Sea of Fishing Grounds.
gǎi biàn zuì duō ， kě yǐ shuō dá dào zhì biàn chéng dù de ， jiù shì dào yī chóng tūn shì wài wù de fāng fǎ 。 zài xué xí mò shā zhī qián ， dào yī chóng de qīn shí fāng fǎ ， hái méi yǒu tuō lí “ shēng wù ” jìn shí tè zhēng 。 hǎo sì rú chóng jǔ jué ， yòu hǎo sì xiū shì xī shōu liàn huà 。 ér dāng tā men xiào fǎng mò shā zhī hòu ， dào yī chóng de tūn shì shǒu duàn ， yǐ jīng yī yuè shēng zhì jìn hū “ yān miè ”。
改变最多，可以说达到质变程度的，就是道一虫吞噬外物的方法。在学习墨杀之前，道一虫的侵蚀方法，还没有脱离“生物”进食特征。好似蠕虫咀嚼，又好似修士吸收炼化。而当它们效仿墨杀之后，道一虫的吞噬手段，已经一跃升至近乎“湮灭”。
After careful consideration, however, Li Fan decided not to use the fishing pond.
jìn shí xiào lǜ ， yǐ jí tūn shì néng lì ， dōu fān le shù shí bèi bù zhǐ 。
进食效率，以及吞噬能力，都翻了数十倍不止。
"Ultimately, the fishing sage behind the fishing pond can connect with the mountains and seas. His strength is formidable. Just as I could be seen by Great Sage Taiyi through the jujube, when I use or look at the fishing pond, it will inevitably be sensed."
shèn zhì yóu yú dào yī chóng zì shēn shí kè chù zài bù duàn jìn huà zhuàng tài de tè xìng ， xiāng jiào yú néng lì yǐ jīng jī běn gù dìng 、 xū yào wài lì cì jī cái néng gèng jìn yí bù de mò shā ， dào yī chóng de qīn shí néng lì ， hái zài yī rì qiān lǐ de jí sù jìn bù 。
甚至由于道一虫自身时刻处在不断进化状态的特性，相较于能力已经基本固定、需要外力刺激才能更进一步的墨杀，道一虫的侵蚀能力，还在一日千里的急速进步。
"In the short term, perhaps Illusory Reality can mask this. But over time, the risk of exposure will increase exponentially. What I need is a stable method to capture primordial external entities..."
“ rú jīn de dào yī chóng qún ， jī hū kě yǐ kàn zuò shì mò shā de jìn qīn le 。”
“如今的道一虫群，几乎可以看做是墨杀的近亲了。”
Li Fan thought back to the salvaging techniques he had seen on Light Wu Star Sea in his previous life.
“ tài yì gēn yǒng héng zhī lì ， duì mò shā yǒu zhǒng tí shēng 。 nà me yīng gāi tóng yàng duì dào yī chóng qún yǒu xiào 。” niàn jí cǐ chù ， lǐ fán jiāng 【 chū pì shān hǎi piān 】 yǐ jí yǒng héng zhī lì níng jù wài yī ， qí qí cháo zhe dào yī chóng qún rēng qù 。
“太易跟永恒之力，对墨杀有种提升。那么应该同样对道一虫群有效。”念及此处，李凡将【初辟山海篇】以及永恒之力凝聚外衣，齐齐朝着道一虫群扔去。
By creating weak points through the distribution of differently承受能力的天柱，故意吸引道湮降临。形成湮灭洼地，以期漂流物被吸引而来。
wú shù hēi diǎn fēng yōng ér zhì ， huǎn huǎn jiāng èr wù tūn mò 。
无数黑点蜂拥而至，缓缓将二物吞没。
在还真无间轮回中，李凡成功再现了这种方法。
gēn mò shā shùn jiān jiù dé dào zēng qiáng bù tóng ， dào yī chóng qún de tuì biàn ， huǎn màn ér jiān dìng 。
跟墨杀瞬间就得到增强不同，道一虫群的蜕变，缓慢而坚定。
"However, the yield from salvaging is too unstable. If luck isn't on your side, you might go a hundred years without any收获。反而增加了道湮吞没的风险。”
shuō shì “ chóng qún ”， shí zé gēn zhēn zhèng yì yì shàng de “ chóng ”， bìng méi yǒu shén me guān xì 。 xuán huáng xiān jiè jīng guài ， bìng bù cún zài shēng mìng 。 ér shì tiān dì lì liàng xiǎn huà 。 zhǐ bù guò shì lǐ fán xí guàn xìng de jiào fǎ bà le 。
说是“虫群”，实则跟真正意义上的“虫”，并没有什么关系。玄黄仙界精怪，并不存在生命。而是天地力量显化。只不过是李凡习惯性的叫法罢了。
“幸好Light Wu Star Sea has already done this for me. Besides the Daoist Code projection and transcendental relics, there should be many more primordial external entities there...”
rú jīn dào yī chóng qún de běn zhì ， jiù shì yǐ xuán huáng xiān jiè wèi róng qì ， péi yǎng chū lái de gēn mò shā xìng zhì jí qí xiāng sì de lìng wài yī zhǒng lì liàng xíng tài 。 yīn qí yùn shēng yú xuán huáng xiān jiè nèi ， gù ér shòu dào lǐ fán zhè xuán huáng fù mǔ de zhǎng kòng 。
如今道一虫群的本质，就是以玄黄仙界为容器，培养出来的跟墨杀性质极其相似的另外一种力量形态。因其孕生于玄黄仙界内，故而受到李凡这玄黄父母的掌控。
"Once the first person in Xuanhuang reaches the dao realm on that day, and true immortals are listed on the封神榜, we can officially begin the Xuanhuang Expedition."
“ dào yī chóng hái méi yǒu wán quán jiāng mò shā nèi lǐ suǒ xī shōu 。”
“道一虫还没有完全将墨杀内里所吸收。”
These thoughts brought Li Fan's attention to Xuanyuan Tuo.
“ hái xū yào wèi mò shā zhǎo xiē shì qíng zuò ， jǐn kě néng fēn sàn qí zhù yì lì 。”
“还需要为墨杀找些事情做，尽可能分散其注意力。”
This transmission sage, almost forgotten by everyone in the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, still held Li Fan's attention.
xuán huáng xiān jiè nèi shèn zhì yuán chū kě néng xìng nèi ， xīn shēng mò shā dōu jī hū suǒ xiàng pì nì 、 nán yǒu dí shǒu 。 xiǎng yào zhǎo dào hé shì de duì shǒu ， hái yào fàng yǎn yuán chū kě néng xìng zhī wài 。
玄黄仙界内甚至原初可能性内，新生墨杀都几乎所向睥睨、难有敌手。想要找到合适的对手，还要放眼原初可能性之外。
Before the great changes in the Xuanhuang universe, Transmission Sage had already reached the dao realm. With Xuanhuang's elevation and transformation into an immortal realm, its body's heavenly essence [Jinzhi] was millions of times stronger than before.
dàn yǐ xiàn zài xuán huáng xiān jiè de shuǐ zhǔn ， hái bù zú yǐ zhī chēng lǐ fán ān quán de héng dù shān hǎi 。 gù ér lǐ fán shǒu xiān jiù xiǎng dào le diào yú chí 。
但以现在玄黄仙界的水准，还不足以支撑李凡安全的横渡山海。故而李凡首先就想到了钓鱼池。
However, it remained at its previous strength.
yì huò zhě shuō ， shān hǎi yú chǎng 。
亦或者说，山海渔场。
Theoretically, once Li Fan lifted the seal, Transmission Sage should have been torn apart by the expanding power within his body.
bù guò ， zài shèn zhòng sī suǒ zhī hòu ， lǐ fán zuì zhōng hái shì jué dìng zàn qiě bù dǎ diào yú chí de zhǔ yì 。
不过，在慎重思索之后，李凡最终还是决定暂且不打钓鱼池的主意。
But instead, not only did he survive, but he seemed to effortlessly control Jinzhi as it underwent transformation alongside the Xuanhuang realm.
“ bì jìng néng gòu lián tōng shān hǎi ， diào yú chí bèi hòu de chuí diào xiān ， shí lì yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 jiù xiàng wǒ tōng guò pí pá kuī tàn tài wēi shèng cháo jǐng xiàng de tóng shí ， huì bèi tài wēi shèng dì kàn dào yī yàng 。 dāng wǒ kàn xiàng 、 shǐ yòng diào yú chí de tóng shí ， jiù zhù dìng huì bèi nà wèi chuí diào xiān suǒ gǎn zhī dào 。”
“毕竟能够联通山海，钓鱼池背后的垂钓仙，实力也非同小可。就像我通过枇杷窥探太微圣朝景象的同时，会被太微圣帝看到一样。当我看向、使用钓鱼池的同时，就注定会被那位垂钓仙所感知到。”
Although this control was tenuous, like a fine thread that could snap at any moment if Jinzhi moved slightly.
“ duǎn shí jiān nèi ， huò xǔ hái néng kào huàn yì zhēn jìn xíng zhē yǎn 。 dàn cháng cǐ yǐ wǎng ， bào lù de fēng xiǎn bì jiāng chéng bèi zēng jiā 。 ér wǒ xū yào de ， shì néng gòu wěn dìng bǔ zhuō yuán chū wài zhī wù de shǒu duàn ……”
“短时间内，或许还能靠幻亦真进行遮掩。但长此以往，暴露的风险必将成倍增加。而我需要的，是能够稳定捕捉原初外之物的手段……”
Nonetheless, such control truly existed.
lǐ fán suí zhī xiǎng dào le ， shàng yī shì zài guāng wú xīng hǎi suǒ jiàn de dǎ lāo shǒu duàn 。
李凡随之想到了，上一世在光吾星海所见的打捞手段。
In some sense, Transmission Sage was now the first daoist of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
yǐ chéng shòu néng lì bù tóng de tiān zhù fēn bù ， gù yì zào jiù bó ruò dì diǎn ， xī yǐn dào yān jiàng lín 。 xíng chéng yān miè wā dì ， yǐ qī dào yān zhī zhōng de piāo liú wù néng gòu bèi xī yǐn ér lái 。
以承受能力不同的天柱分布，故意造就薄弱地点，吸引道湮降临。形成湮灭洼地，以期道湮之中的漂流物能够被吸引而来。
"But only in his current state of calm."
lǐ fán céng zài hái zhēn wú jiàn lún huí zhōng ， chéng gōng fù xiàn chū le cǐ zhǒng fāng fǎ 。
李凡曾在还真无间轮回中，成功复现出了此种方法。
"Once the balance of enlightenment is disrupted, he will instantly vanish. This is why he remains in seclusion, motionless."
“ jiù shì dǎ lāo shōu huò ， tài bù wěn dìng 。 ruò shì yùn qì bù hǎo ， nǎ pà bǎi nián guò qù ， dōu yǒu kě néng yī wú suǒ huò 。 fǎn dào píng bái zēng jiā dào yān tūn mò de fēng xiǎn 。”
“就是打捞收获，太不稳定。若是运气不好，哪怕百年过去，都有可能一无所获。反倒平白增加道湮吞没的风险。”
Under constant threat of collapse, Transmission Sage did not panic but sought a true dao realm method using this unique "dao realm" as a stepping stone.
“ hǎo zài guāng wú xīng hǎi ， yǐ jīng wèi wǒ xiān xíng yī bù le 。 chú le dào jì tóu yǐng 、 chāo tuō yí tuì zhī wài ， nà lǐ yīng gāi hái yǒu bù shǎo yuán chū wài zhī wù ……”
“好在光吾星海，已经为我先行一步了。除了道纪投影、超脱遗蜕之外，那里应该还有不少原初外之物……”
"This is truly a case where failure means death. Yet, under such immense pressure, he can remain indifferent." Li Fan thought with admiration.
“ děng dào xuán huáng xiān jiè ， dì yī wèi hé dào dàn shēng zhī rì 。 fēng shén bǎng shàng ， zhēn xiān rù liè 。 jiù kě zhèng shì kāi qǐ xuán huáng yuǎn zhēng le 。”
“等到玄黄仙界，第一位合道诞生之日。封神榜上，真仙入列。就可正式开启玄黄远征了。”
Truly, the Transmission Sage from later times had dominated Xuanhuang for millennia.
lǐ fán zhè me xiǎng zhe ， jiāng sī xù shà shí jí zhōng zài le xuān yuán tuò shēn shàng 。
李凡这么想着，将思绪霎时集中在了轩辕拓身上。
"Just achieve the dao realm; not eternal life."
zhè wèi jī hū yǐ jīng bèi xuán huáng xiān jiè suǒ yǒu rén dōu kuài yí wàng de chuán fǎ tiān zūn ， què shǐ zhōng xī yǐn zhe lǐ fán de zhù yì lì 。
这位几乎已经被玄黄仙界所有人都快遗忘的传法天尊，却始终吸引着李凡的注意力。
This was the most profound idea that Li Fan could see in Transmission Sage's heart.
yào zhī dào ， chuán fǎ zài xuán huáng tiān dì jù biàn zhī qián ， jiù yǐ jīng shì hé dào jìng jiè le 。 suí zhe xuán huáng shēng huá 、 huà zuò xiān jiè ， tā tǐ nèi de tiān dì zhī pò 【 jīn zhí 】， zǎo bǐ guò qù qiáng le qiān wàn bèi bù zhǐ 。
要知道，传法在玄黄天地剧变之前，就已经是合道境界了。随着玄黄升华、化作仙界，它体内的天地之魄【金执】，早比过去强了千万倍不止。
Relying on this belief, Transmission Sage still managed to control Jinzhi despite their weak connection.
rán ér chuán fǎ què yī jiù tíng liú zài guò qù de shí lì 。
然而传法却依旧停留在过去的实力。
Li Fan sensed that Transmission Sage seemed caught in a dilemma at this moment.
cóng lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng ， zǎo zài lǐ fán jiāng fēng jìn jiě kāi de nà yī kè 、 chuán fǎ jiù yīng gāi bèi tǐ nèi péng zhàng de lì liàng ， chēng bào cái duì 。
从理论上来讲，早在李凡将封禁解开的那一刻、传法就应该被体内膨胀的力量，撑爆才对。
After further probing, Li Fan understood the source of his hesitation.
dàn xiàn zài ， chuán fǎ bù jǐn méi yǒu shēn yǔn 。 hái wǎn ruò sì liǎng bō qiān jīn bān ， jiāng gēn zhe xuán huáng jiè wán chéng tuì biàn de jīn zhí ， yī jiù zhǎng kòng zài shǒu zhōng 。
但现在，传法不仅没有身陨。还宛若四两拨千斤般，将跟着玄黄界完成蜕变的金执，依旧掌控在手中。
"Originally, he has found a method to achieve stable dao realm. But if he chooses this path, he will be confined to the Xuanhuang dao realm and can never surpass it. The new methods that go against nature are no longer possible..." Understanding Transmission Sage's thoughts, Li Fan couldn't help but laugh.
suī rán zài lǐ fán kàn lái ， yǒu xiē jí xiàn 。 zhǐ hǎo shì wú shù xì sī qiān yǐn zhe ， nǎ pà jīn zhí wēi wēi yī dòng ， kòng zhì jiù huì yǒu duàn liè kāi lái de fēng xiǎn 。
虽然在李凡看来，有些极限。只好似无数细丝牵引着，哪怕金执微微一动，控制就会有断裂开来的风险。
"Clearly, he has known this for a long time yet hesitates at the final step."
dàn bì jìng cǐ zhǒng zhǎng kòng néng lì ， dàng zhēn cún zài 。
但毕竟此种掌控能力，当真存在。
"It seems Transmission Sage is like Tianyang, unwilling to be weaker than others."
cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì shàng jiǎng ， xiàn zài de chuán fǎ ， shí zé jiù shì xuán huáng xiān jiè hé dào dì yī rén le 。
从某种意义上讲，现在的传法，实则就是玄黄仙界合道第一人了。
But Transmission Sage's ideal path would inevitably conflict with Li Fan as Xuanhuang's parent. How could Li Fan possibly give up his realm?
“ dàn jǐn xiàn yú tā xiàn zài de píng jìng zhuàng tài 。”
“但仅限于他现在的平静状态。”
"If you truly choose that path, don't blame me for being unyielding."
“ yí dàn wù dào píng héng bèi dǎ pò ， chuán fǎ tā shùn jiān jiù huì huī fēi yān miè 。 zhè yě shì tā shǐ zhōng chù zài bì guān zhī zhōng 、 yī dòng bù dòng de yuán yīn 。”
“一旦悟道平衡被打破，传法他瞬间就会灰飞烟灭。这也是他始终处在闭关之中、一动不动的原因。”
"Of course, if you let go of your attachment and become a loyal follower..."
chù zài suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng yǔn luò de qíng kuàng xià ， chuán fǎ fēi dàn méi yǒu jīng huāng shī cuò 。 fǎn ér píng cǐ tè shū “ hé dào ” jìng jiè wèi tái jiē ， xún qiú zhēn zhèng hé dào de fāng fǎ 。
处在随时都有可能陨落的情况下，传法非但没有惊慌失措。反而凭此特殊“合道”境界为台阶，寻求真正合道的方法。
"I won't hesitate to help you." Li Fan smiled.
“ zhè shì zhēn zhèng de bù chéng gōng 、 biàn chéng rén le 。 rú cǐ jù dà yā lì ， tā què néng děng xián shì zhī 。” lǐ fán xīn zhōng àn zì zàn tàn 。
“这是真正的不成功、便成仁了。如此巨大压力，他却能等闲视之。”李凡心中暗自赞叹。
As if sensing Li Fan's thoughts, Xuanyuan Tuo finally made his decision after much contemplation. Releasing his inner attachments, he exhaled deeply, feeling more relaxed.
bù kuì shì hòu shì héng yā xuán huáng wàn zài de chuán fǎ tiān zūn 。
不愧是后世横压玄黄万载的传法天尊。
Opening his eyes, he slowly stood up.
“ zhǐ zhèng hé dào ， bù zhèng cháng shēng 。”
“只证合道，不证长生。”
The immense and overwhelming heavenly essence within him, far beyond what he could bear, showed signs of uncontrollable explosion.
zhè shì lǐ fán suǒ néng kuī jiàn de 、 yíng rào zài chuán fǎ xīn zhōng de zuì shēn kè niàn tou 。
这是李凡所能窥见的、萦绕在传法心中的最深刻念头。
However, all movements ceased when Transmission Sage softly recited two words.
ér zhèng shì kào zhe cǐ zhǒng xìn niàn wèi zhǐ yǐn ， chuán fǎ tā fāng néng píng jiè zhe guò qù gēn 【 jīn zhí 】 zhī jiān de wēi ruò lián xì ， xiàn zài yī jiù jiāng duì fāng zhǎng kòng zhe 。
而正是靠着此种信念为指引，传法他方能凭借着过去跟【金执】之间的微弱联系，现在依旧将对方掌控着。
"Transform the heavenly essence into dao through one's body;"
lǐ fán yǒu zhǒng yù gǎn ， chuán fǎ cǐ kè ， sì hū zhèng xiàn rù mǒu zhǒng jiū jié zhī zhōng 。
李凡有种预感，传法此刻，似乎正陷入某种纠结之中。
"Secure the principles of heaven to achieve eternal life!"
yī fān shēn rù hòu ， lǐ fán suàn shì míng bái le chuán fǎ xīn zhōng de yóu yù bù dìng jiū jìng cóng hé ér lái 。
一番深入后，李凡算是明白了传法心中的犹豫不定究竟从何而来。
Just these few words echoed like thunder in the sky, growing louder and more resounding throughout the Xuanhuang realm.
“ yuán lái ， tā xīn zhōng yǐ jīng shì yǒu le néng gòu wěn tuǒ hé dào de fāng fǎ le 。 dàn ruò shì cǎi yòng zhè zhǒng fāng fǎ ， biàn zì cǐ zhǐ bù yú xuán huáng hé dào ， jīn hòu zài wú fǎ chāo yuè xuán huáng zhī tiān 。 guò qù xīn fǎ nà zhǒng nì tiān dì zhī lǐ 、 ér hòu zhǐ zhǎng kòng tiān dì zhī shì ， què shì zài yě wú fǎ zuò dào le ……” liǎo jiě le chuán fǎ suǒ xiǎng hòu ， lǐ fán bù yóu shěn rán ér xiào 。
“原来，他心中已经是有了能够稳妥合道的方法了。但若是采用这种方法，便自此止步于玄黄合道，今后再无法超越玄黄之天。过去新法那种逆天地之理、而后只掌控天地之事，却是再也无法做到了……”了解了传法所想后，李凡不由哂然而笑。
The heavenly essence Jinzhi no longer showed signs of explosion.
“ míng míng tā zǎo jiù yì shí dào le zhè yì diǎn ， què yī jiù zài jí jiāng tà chū zuì hòu yī bù shí ， jiū jié bù dìng 。”
“明明他早就意识到了这一点，却依旧在即将踏出最后一步时，纠结不定。”
Because Transmission Sage had become Him!
“ kàn lái chuán fǎ gēn tiān yáng yī yàng ， yě shì nèi xīn bù yuàn ruò yú rén a 。”
“看来传法跟天阳一样，也是内心不愿弱于人啊。”
Wearing a golden aura, the faceless heavenly essence Jinzhi gradually took on Transmission Sage's appearance.
dàn chuán fǎ lǐ xiǎng zhōng de fǎ mén ， zhù dìng gēn lǐ fán zhè wèi xuán huáng fù mǔ yǒu zhe jué duì de chōng tū 。 lǐ fán yòu zěn kě néng jiāng xuán huáng xiān jiè gǒng shǒu xiàng ràng ？
但传法理想中的法门，注定跟李凡这位玄黄父母有着绝对的冲突。李凡又怎可能将玄黄仙界拱手相让？
Taking a step forward, he merged with it!
“ ruò shì nǐ zhēn zhè me xuǎn ， nà jiù xiū guài wǒ bù jiǎng qíng miàn le 。”
“若是你真这么选，那就休怪我不讲情面了。”
Before his final step, Xuanyuan Tuo flashed a trace of melancholy but quickly suppressed it.
“ dāng rán ， ruò shì nǐ fàng xià xīn zhōng zhí niàn 、 gān yuàn zuò wǒ mén xià zǒu gǒu ……”
“当然，若是你放下心中执念、甘愿做我门下走狗……”
Having made his decision, he would not regret it!
“ nà me wǒ yě bú huì lìn sè ， zài shùn shǒu bāng nǐ yī bǎ 。” lǐ fán wēi wēi yī xiào 。
“那么我也不会吝啬，再顺手帮你一把。”李凡微微一笑。
A ray of golden light shot up to the heavens and reached the fourth heavenly gate.
sì hū shì gǎn yìng dào le lǐ fán nèi xīn de xiǎng fǎ ， zuò dìng xǔ jiǔ de xuān yuán tuō ， nèi xīn zhōng yú zuò le jué dìng 。
似乎是感应到了李凡内心的想法，坐定许久的轩辕托，内心终于做了决定。
From each gate, beams of light converged on Xuanyuan Tuo.
fàng xià le nèi xīn zhí niàn ， tā zhǎng shū yì kǒu qì ， zhěng gè rén shén qíng dōu biàn dé fàng sōng xià lái 。
放下了内心执念，他长舒一口气，整个人神情都变得放松下来。
The barrier between heaven and earth was pierced by this endless brilliance. Mortals below could now see what happened at the gates.
zhēng kāi shuāng yǎn ， huǎn huǎn qǐ shēn 。
睁开双眼，缓缓起身。
Buzzing...
yīn wèi tā de dòng zuò ， tǐ nèi páng dà wú pǐ 、 yuǎn chāo tā suǒ néng chéng shòu jí xiàn de tiān dì zhī pò jīn zhí ， chà nà jiān jiù yǒu shī kòng 、 hōng rán bào kāi de jì xiàng 。
因为他的动作，体内庞大无匹、远超他所能承受极限的天地之魄今执，刹那间就有失控、轰然爆开的迹象。
The howling from the mountains and seas came from outside the gates.
rán ér suǒ yǒu de yì dòng ， jiē yīn chuán fǎ kǒu zhōng huǎn huǎn qīng yín de liǎng jù huà ér mò míng zhōng zhǐ 。
然而所有的异动，皆因传法口中缓缓轻吟的两句话而莫名中止。
The gates opened, and boundless immortal power poured down like a divine gift.
“ huà tiān dì zhī pò ， yǐ shēn hé dào ；”
“化天地之魄，以身合道；”
"This is..."
“ gù tiān dì zhī lǐ ， yǐ zhèng cháng shēng ！”
“固天地之理，以证长生！”
"An immortal?"
zhǐ shì qīng qīng liǎng jù ， què rú tiān léi zhèn zhèn ， xiǎng chè yún xiāo 。 yuè lái yuè hóng liàng ， bù tíng zài xuán huáng tiān dì jiān huí xiǎng 。
只是轻轻两句，却如天雷阵阵，响彻云霄。越来越洪亮，不停在玄黄天地间回响。
Xuanyuan Tuo gazed at the continuous mountainous landscape before him, momentarily lost in thought.
tiān dì zhī pò jīn zhí ， zài yě méi yǒu shī kòng bào liè de jì xiàng 。
天地之魄金执，再也没有失控爆裂的迹象。
For some reason, despite taking that step many people dreamed of, he felt no great excitement.
yīn wèi chuán fǎ 、 yì huò zhě shuō xuān yuán tuò ， cǐ kè yǐ rán huà zuò le tā ！
因为传法、亦或者说轩辕拓，此刻已然化作了祂！
Meanwhile, Li Fan, hidden behind, laughed heartily for the first time in a long while.
pī shàng le yī céng jīn guāng shǎn yào de wài yī ， ér guò qù méi yǒu miàn róng de tiān dì zhī pò jīn zhí ， liǎn shàng yě màn màn xiǎn lù chū chuán fǎ mú yàng 。
披上了一层金光闪耀的外衣，而过去没有面容的天地之魄金执，脸上也慢慢显露出传法模样。
"Only to find that there's no path beyond the grand dao..."
piàn kè zhī hòu ， chuán fǎ cháo qián fāng jīn zhí tà chū yī bù 。
片刻之后，传法朝前方金执踏出一步。
"Xuanhuang Sage Emperor above!"
Though the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm did not naturally give rise to the concept of [Severed Path Life], Li Fan had endowed it with this ability through the Refining Dao Medicine King Scripture, using jujube as an ingredient.
The transformation at the grand dao level was almost akin to a primordial birth. Initially, there might have been some hesitance. But over time, it naturally became part of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm's flowing heavenly path.
"Using dao in medicine and refining dao with medicine—this method by Great Sage Taiyi is somewhat similar to Sun Piapo's Refining Dao Medicine King Scripture. However, while Sun Piapo regards it as the foundation of cultivation, in the eyes of Great Sage Taiyi, all the myriad medicinal herbs in the herb garden are merely tools. The fundamental path of the sage emperor lies in that supreme holy dynasty spanning mountains and seas..."
Compared to the grand and majestic Great Sage Taiyi Dynasty, Li Fan's Xuanhuang Immortal Realm was insignificant.
The so-called "insect swarm" had little relation to true insects. In the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, spirits did not possess life; they were manifestations of heaven and earth's power. It was merely a habit for Li Fan to call them that way.
Now, the essence of the insect swarm was a form of strength similar to that of Xuanhuang's absorbed Xuanji, cultivated within the realm itself. As such, it was controlled by its Xuanhuang parents, Li Fan.
"Xuanji hasn't fully absorbed everything from Xuanji."
"I need to find something for Xuanji to do to keep his attention diverted."
Within the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm and even in the primordial possibilities, newborn Xuanji was almost invincible. Finding a suitable opponent would require looking beyond these possibilities.
However, with the current level of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, it wasn't sufficient for Li Fan to safely cross the mountains and seas. Thus, he first thought of the fishing pond.
Or rather, the Sea of Fishing Grounds.
After careful consideration, however, Li Fan decided not to use the fishing pond.
"Ultimately, the fishing sage behind the fishing pond can connect with the mountains and seas. His strength is formidable. Just as I could be seen by Great Sage Taiyi through the jujube, when I use or look at the fishing pond, it will inevitably be sensed."
"In the short term, perhaps Illusory Reality can mask this. But over time, the risk of exposure will increase exponentially. What I need is a stable method to capture primordial external entities..."
Li Fan thought back to the salvaging techniques he had seen on Light Wu Star Sea in his previous life.
By creating weak points through the distribution of differently承受能力的天柱，故意吸引道湮降临。形成湮灭洼地，以期漂流物被吸引而来。
在还真无间轮回中，李凡成功再现了这种方法。
"However, the yield from salvaging is too unstable. If luck isn't on your side, you might go a hundred years without any收获。反而增加了道湮吞没的风险。”
“幸好Light Wu Star Sea has already done this for me. Besides the Daoist Code projection and transcendental relics, there should be many more primordial external entities there...”
"Once the first person in Xuanhuang reaches the dao realm on that day, and true immortals are listed on the封神榜, we can officially begin the Xuanhuang Expedition."
These thoughts brought Li Fan's attention to Xuanyuan Tuo.
This transmission sage, almost forgotten by everyone in the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, still held Li Fan's attention.
Before the great changes in the Xuanhuang universe, Transmission Sage had already reached the dao realm. With Xuanhuang's elevation and transformation into an immortal realm, its body's heavenly essence [Jinzhi] was millions of times stronger than before.
However, it remained at its previous strength.
Theoretically, once Li Fan lifted the seal, Transmission Sage should have been torn apart by the expanding power within his body.
But instead, not only did he survive, but he seemed to effortlessly control Jinzhi as it underwent transformation alongside the Xuanhuang realm.
Although this control was tenuous, like a fine thread that could snap at any moment if Jinzhi moved slightly.
Nonetheless, such control truly existed.
In some sense, Transmission Sage was now the first daoist of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
"But only in his current state of calm."
"Once the balance of enlightenment is disrupted, he will instantly vanish. This is why he remains in seclusion, motionless."
Under constant threat of collapse, Transmission Sage did not panic but sought a true dao realm method using this unique "dao realm" as a stepping stone.
"This is truly a case where failure means death. Yet, under such immense pressure, he can remain indifferent." Li Fan thought with admiration.
Truly, the Transmission Sage from later times had dominated Xuanhuang for millennia.
"Just achieve the dao realm; not eternal life."
This was the most profound idea that Li Fan could see in Transmission Sage's heart.
Relying on this belief, Transmission Sage still managed to control Jinzhi despite their weak connection.
Li Fan sensed that Transmission Sage seemed caught in a dilemma at this moment.
After further probing, Li Fan understood the source of his hesitation.
"Originally, he has found a method to achieve stable dao realm. But if he chooses this path, he will be confined to the Xuanhuang dao realm and can never surpass it. The new methods that go against nature are no longer possible..." Understanding Transmission Sage's thoughts, Li Fan couldn't help but laugh.
"Clearly, he has known this for a long time yet hesitates at the final step."
"It seems Transmission Sage is like Tianyang, unwilling to be weaker than others."
But Transmission Sage's ideal path would inevitably conflict with Li Fan as Xuanhuang's parent. How could Li Fan possibly give up his realm?
"If you truly choose that path, don't blame me for being unyielding."
"Of course, if you let go of your attachment and become a loyal follower..."
"I won't hesitate to help you." Li Fan smiled.
As if sensing Li Fan's thoughts, Xuanyuan Tuo finally made his decision after much contemplation. Releasing his inner attachments, he exhaled deeply, feeling more relaxed.
Opening his eyes, he slowly stood up.
The immense and overwhelming heavenly essence within him, far beyond what he could bear, showed signs of uncontrollable explosion.
However, all movements ceased when Transmission Sage softly recited two words.
"Transform the heavenly essence into dao through one's body;"
"Secure the principles of heaven to achieve eternal life!"
Just these few words echoed like thunder in the sky, growing louder and more resounding throughout the Xuanhuang realm.
The heavenly essence Jinzhi no longer showed signs of explosion.
Because Transmission Sage had become Him!
Wearing a golden aura, the faceless heavenly essence Jinzhi gradually took on Transmission Sage's appearance.
Taking a step forward, he merged with it!
Before his final step, Xuanyuan Tuo flashed a trace of melancholy but quickly suppressed it.
Having made his decision, he would not regret it!
A ray of golden light shot up to the heavens and reached the fourth heavenly gate.
From each gate, beams of light converged on Xuanyuan Tuo.
The barrier between heaven and earth was pierced by this endless brilliance. Mortals below could now see what happened at the gates.
Buzzing...
The howling from the mountains and seas came from outside the gates.
The gates opened, and boundless immortal power poured down like a divine gift.
"This is..."
"An immortal?"
Xuanyuan Tuo gazed at the continuous mountainous landscape before him, momentarily lost in thought.
For some reason, despite taking that step many people dreamed of, he felt no great excitement.
