lǐ fán yǎn qián qīng jí ér hēi zhī wù ， biàn shì shān hǎi gǔ wù zài wú shù kě néng xìng zhōng de chén diàn 。 zǎo yǐ jīng chāo tuō le zuì chū lǜ zǎo xíng tài de nà ge fàn chóu 。
李凡眼前青极而黑之物，便是山海古物在无数可能性中的沉淀。早已经超脱了最初绿藻形态的那个范畴。
Li Fan was patient as he waited for Dao Yi to fully adapt and digest the remnants of the Sea of Mountains and Seas. Meanwhile, the Yellow Emperor's Immortals were busy cleaning up the battlefield on Light-Being Star.
“ tā méi yǒu shén me jìng jiè 、 xiū wèi 、 shén tōng 、 fǎ shù ， jǐn jǐn kào ruò gān nián lái chuí liàn chū de qiáng dà shēng cún běn néng ， jiù kě rù qīn chāo tuō qiáng zhě de chāo tuō zhī dào ……”
“它没有什么境界、修为、神通、法术，仅仅靠若干年来锤炼出的强大生存本能，就可入侵超脱强者的超脱之道……”
They found more powerful Dao treasures apart from the Dao Sword and Dao Saber they had seen before: a stone hand, a blood-stained green robe with numerous holes, and a withered branch. These items belonged to other possibilities that had been extinguished in the Void of Dao.
“ dàng zhēn liǎo bù qǐ ！” lǐ fán bù yóu zàn tàn dào 。
“当真了不起！”李凡不由赞叹道。
Li Fan observed the fading memories of these possibilities, but he was no longer surprised by them. He decided to discard these powerful items into the void beyond Yellow Heaven as backup resources.
rán ér jiù shì zhè yàng yí gè lìng tā zàn bù jué kǒu de cún zài ， rú jīn yǐ rán zài dào yī chóng hàn bù wèi sǐ de wéi gōng zhī xià ， màn màn huà zuò le xuán huáng xiān jiè zài dù tuì biàn de zī liáng 。
然而就是这样一个令他赞不绝口的存在，如今已然在道一虫悍不畏死的围攻之下，慢慢化作了玄黄仙界再度蜕变的资粮。
With everything prepared, Li Fan began his attempt to steal this transcendent essence from the Sea of Mountains and Seas. Even though it had been taken by the Purple Robe in the past, it still held some value for a Transcendent being. Therefore, he approached with caution.
qián qián hòu hòu zǒng jì yòng le sān nián shí jiān ， jiāng liù shí qī méi xuán huáng xiān jiè xū yǐng chōng néng níng shí ， hēi hé fāng cái bèi wán quán xiāo hào wán bì 。
前前后后总计用了三年时间，将六十七枚玄黄仙界虚影充能凝实，黑盒方才被完全消耗完毕。
"Black Killer!"
“ yǒu le zhè xiē chǔ bèi ， xuán huáng xiān zhōu zhōu shēn de qiáng dù ， yòu néng zài shàng yí gè dàng cì 。 héng dù chāo tuō de bǎ wò ， gèng tiān jǐ fēn 。”
“有了这些储备，玄黄仙舟舟身的强度，又能再上一个档次。横渡超脱的把握，更添几分。”
Li Fan's mind triggered the arrival of Black Killer, which pushed the lone sail out of the transcendent essence's body. The calmness returned as if an invisible hand was suppressing the chaotic clouds. Even though Black Killer tried to resist, it could not harm the sail at all.
liù shí qī méi qīng sè mù diāo jù zài lǐ fán zhǎng xīn ， sī cǔn piàn kè hòu ， tā jiāng qí zhōng yī méi niē suì 。
六十七枚青色木雕俱在李凡掌心，思忖片刻后，他将其中一枚捏碎。
Li Fan observed the power of this lone sail from the perspective of Black Killer. "Even though the Sea of Mountains and Seas is far away, he managed to cross it with a single sail. Truly a world-shaking genius! It's a pity that such a person died in silence."
cháng shì zhí jiē yòng zì shēn qū tǐ ， qù xī shōu cóng mù diāo zhōng huǎn huǎn yì chū de qīng qì 。
尝试直接用自身躯体，去吸收从木雕中缓缓溢出的青气。
Unlike the Purple Robe's all-encompassing Dao, this lone sail seemed more inclusive. Li Fan felt a sense of 'co-riding' from it.
jīng guò dào yī chóng de xī shōu zhuǎn huà zhī hòu ， shǔ yú shān hǎi gǔ wù de yì shí yǐ jīng wán quán xiāo shī ， zhǐ shèng xià chún cuì de shēng jī níng jù 。
经过道一虫的吸收转化之后，属于山海古物的意识已经完全消失，只剩下纯粹的生机凝聚。
"Even if we met on the Sea of Mountains and Seas, my small boat would not capsize. It wouldn't be a problem to carry you for a while..."
lǐ fán yǐ jīng zài xuán huáng xiān jiè shēn shàng yìn zhèng le zhè yì diǎn ， gù ér cái gǎn zhí jiē běn zūn jìn xíng xī shōu 。
李凡已经在玄黄仙界身上印证了这一点，故而才敢直接本尊进行吸收。
A light laughter echoed in his ears, causing him to pause. "This person is quite bold."
“ zào huà hōng lú ， dà dào lín shēn 。”
“造化烘炉，大道临身。”
"I might even like to make friends with him," Li Fan thought.
qīng qì bèi huǎn huǎn xī rù ， lǐ fán miàn jiá shàng chéng xiàn chū yī mǒ yān hóng 。 gèng yǒu wú shù xì xiǎo wǎn ruò léi tíng de hōng míng zhuàng jī zhī shēng ， zì shēn tǐ gè chù chuán lái 。
青气被缓缓吸入，李凡面颊上呈现出一抹嫣红。更有无数细小宛若雷霆的轰鸣撞击之声，自身体各处传来。
"Unfortunately..."
liǎng dà liàn tǐ mì fǎ shuāng guǎn qí xià ， lǐ fán shì tú jiāng shān hǎi gǔ wù de néng lì huà wèi jǐ yòng 。
两大炼体秘法双管齐下，李凡试图将山海古物的能力化为己用。
He wondered about the cause of this lone sail's death.
suī shuō rú jīn lǐ fán de chāo tuō zhī dào ， yǐ jīng dìng wèi xuán huáng xiān zhōu 。 tā shēn wèi xuán huáng fù mǔ ， duì zhè sōu tā yī shǒu dǎ zào de chāo tuō xiān zhōu yǒu zhe jué duì de zhǎng kòng lì 。 gèng bié shuō ， xuán huáng jiè nèi wú shù shēng líng de jì bài ， shǐ de zhè zhǒng zhǎng kòng lì dù měi rì jù zēng 。 zhí dài tā yù zhōu héng dù shān hǎi nà yī kè ， xuán huáng xiān zhōu jiāng huì chè dǐ huà zuò tā de dào tú 。
虽说如今李凡的超脱之道，已经定为玄黄仙舟。他身为玄黄父母，对这艘他一手打造的超脱仙舟有着绝对的掌控力。更别说，玄黄界内无数生灵的祭拜，使得这种掌控力度每日剧增。直待他御舟横渡山海那一刻，玄黄仙舟将会彻底化作他的道途。
The sail was still intact and had enough strength to resist the Void of Dao. It seemed unlikely that it would die so easily.
dàn zhèng rú hái zhēn yī yàng 。
但正如还真一样。
"Dao Yi..."
zài méi yǒu zhēn zhèng chéng wéi zì shēn de néng lì zhī qián ， dōu hái shì yǒu zhe suí shí kě néng “ shī qù ” de fēng xiǎn 。
在没有真正成为自身的能力之前，都还是有着随时可能“失去”的风险。
To uncover this secret, Dao Yi needed to emerge once again.
lǐ fán bì xū wèi yǔ chóu móu ， wèi zì jǐ zài tiān yī fēn bǎo xiǎn 。
李凡必须未雨绸缪，为自己再添一分保险。
As expected, the scene repeated itself. This time, it wasn't the remnants of the Sea of Mountains and Seas but an endless swarm of insects that invaded the transcendent essence's body.
“ jí biàn jiāng lái héng dù shī bài ， xiān zhōu jǐn huǐ 。”
“即便将来横渡失败，仙舟尽毁。”
The invasion by Dao Yi was even more efficient than the remnants of the Sea of Mountains and Seas. A howling sound filled Li Fan’s ears as if he had fallen into a vast ocean, with only one lone sail.
“ wǒ cóng xiān zhōu zhōng tiào xià hòu ， yě néng cóng róng qiú shēng 。”
“我从仙舟中跳下后，也能从容求生。”
He saw nothing else but the endless sea and the solitary boat. Sometimes there were storms, sometimes calm seas, and sometimes heavy rains, yet the boat continued to move steadily forward.
shēn tǐ měi yī chù zuì wēi xiǎo wēi lì ， dōu hǎo sì huà zuò dǐng tiān lì dì de róng lú 。
身体每一处最微小微粒，都好似化作顶天立地的熔炉。
"This is...the memory of the transcendent essence crossing the Sea of Mountains and Seas."
róng lú shàng juān kè zhe de yìn jì ， nǎi shì wàn xiāng dào wǎng suǒ liú 。 yī kè bù tíng xī shōu shān hǎi gǔ wù qīng qì ， chuí liàn gǎi zào zì shēn xuè ròu 。
熔炉上镌刻着的印记，乃是万相道网所留。一刻不停吸收山海古物青气，锤炼改造自身血肉。
Li Fan examined this vast ocean in his mind. The memory was repetitive, showing only endless oceans. The original owner of the sail seemed to be very calm, but Li Fan found himself growing impatient due to the long journey.
wǎn ruò tóng shí tūn fú le zhū duō dà bǔ líng yào ， lǐ fán zhǐ gǎn jué zì jǐ qì xuè fān téng bù zhǐ ， xīn zàng pū tōng tōng zhí tiào 。 suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng zì xiōng táng zhōng bèng chū lái bān 。
宛若同时吞服了诸多大补灵药，李凡只感觉自己气血翻腾不止，心脏扑通通直跳。随时都有可能自胸膛中蹦出来般。
"Shouldn't it have taken much less time to cross other possibilities? This is too long."
zhǐ yǒu dāng zì jǐ qīn zì “ pǐn cháng ” yī fān ， cái néng duì zhè shān hǎi gǔ wù zhōng suǒ yùn cáng shēng jī ， yǒu zhe zhēn zhèng jù xiàng huà de rèn zhī 。
只有当自己亲自“品尝”一番，才能对这山海古物中所蕴藏生机，有着真正具象化的认知。
Li Fan looked into the distance, trying to find signs of other possibilities in the Sea of Mountains and Seas. After a while, he saw some vague images on the horizon that should be the locations of these other possibilities. However, the sail seemed to ignore them completely and continued its journey.
“ cǐ shēng jī ， gēn cháng shēng zhī shēng ， yòu yǒu suǒ bù tóng 。”
“此生机，跟长生之生，又有所不同。”
"Even though I observed this, the owner of the transcendent essence couldn't have missed it."
“ gèng xiàng shì ， shì yìng 、 jìn huà 、 shēng cún 。”
“更像是，适应、进化、生存。”
Li Fan realized that common possibilities were not what they sought. What was Transcendence?
lǐ fán zhè jù shēn tǐ ， běn jiù yǒu shǎo xǔ cháng shēng dà dào zhī lì cán cún 。
李凡这具身体，本就有少许长生大道之力残存。
Leaving behind ordinary life, going to the legendary beyond.
cǐ kè yòu xī shōu le zhè quán xīn de shēng zhī lì liàng hòu ， lǐ fán fā xiàn tā men èr zhě zhī jiān ， què bìng wú chōng tū 。
此刻又吸收了这全新的生之力量后，李凡发现它们二者之间，却并无冲突。
Li Fan looked at the endless sea before him, pondering where the beyond might be.
shèn zhì ……
甚至……
Those he had encountered—such as the Purple Robe, Black Heaven Doctor, and Evil Su Bai—all appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly. Li Fan naturally assumed that the beyond was not far away; with enough strength to cross the Sea of Mountains and Seas, one could reach it.
cán cún de cháng shēng dà dào zhī lì ， róu hé le shān hǎi gǔ wù de shēng cún lì liàng hòu 。
残存的长生大道之力，糅合了山海古物的生存力量后。
However, now it seemed otherwise.
wǎn ruò bèi qīng sè suǒ zhān rǎn bān ， jū rán chéng xiàn chū le bié yàng de biàn huà 。
宛若被青色所沾染般，居然呈现出了别样的变化。
Li Fan had a vague idea about the cause of the lone sail's death but needed its complete memory to confirm it.
suī réng chù zài cháng shēng dà dào de fàn chóu zhī xià ， què sì hū kāi pì le quán xīn de fēn zhī ， biàn dé yǔ zhòng bù tóng qǐ lái 。
虽仍处在长生大道的范畴之下，却似乎开辟了全新的分支，变得与众不同起来。
Dao Yi continued to invade, flooding Li Fan with memories. The lone sail’s owner was indeed very peaceful, and Li Fan felt no anger or malice; instead, he felt refreshed as if walking in spring breeze, even when facing endless oceans.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
He sailed alone in the infinite sea, his heart broad and open despite the lack of hope. Even though this ocean seemed vast beyond imagination, Li Fan, observing from a distance, gradually lost hope. However, the lone sail remained optimistic.
lǐ fán shì céng jī hū wán quán “ zhèng dào zhǎng shēng ” zhī rén ， duì “ cháng shēng ” de rèn shí ， zài shān hǎi jiān kě yǐ shuō zhǐ zài shǒu qiū gōng zhī xià 。
李凡是曾几乎完全“证道长生”之人，对“长生”的认识，在山海间可以说只在守丘公之下。
"At least I saw and personally experienced this ocean."
cǐ kè yī fān xì xì pǐn wèi ， míng bái le zì jǐ tǐ nèi cháng shēng fā shēng biàn yì de yuán yīn 。
此刻一番细细品味，明白了自己体内长生发生变异的原因。
The light laughter echoed again as the lone sail continued its journey into the endless sea.
“ shǒu qiū gōng fēn xiǎng cháng shēng ， běn jiù bù jiè yì hòu bèi men tuī chén chū xīn 、 lìng wài kāi pì fēn zhī 。”
“守丘公分享长生，本就不介意后辈们推陈出新、另外开辟分支。”
Li Fan withdrew from these memories, realizing that not everyone had such broad-mindedness. He himself was far from it, especially now that he knew the outcome of the lone sail's journey.
“ shèn zhì hái gǔ lì zhè me zuò ， gòng jù cháng shēng zhī xià ， bǎi huā qí fàng ， gè xiǎn shén tōng 。 dài dào dào tú chéng shú zhī jì ， shèn zhì néng cóng cháng shēng zhǔ dào tú tuō lí chū qù ， kāi zōng lì pài 、 chéng jiù quán xīn dà dào ……”
“甚至还鼓励这么做，共聚长生之下，百花齐放，各显神通。待到道途成熟之际，甚至能从长生主道途脱离出去，开宗立派、成就全新大道……”
Sinking deeper into these memories caused Li Fan to feel restless and angry. His mind became unbalanced, and his killing intent rose. It reminded him of when he almost lost himself in the Time River.
“ shǒu qiū gōng ， bù kuì 【 shèng dé 】 zhī míng 。” lǐ fán gǎn tàn dào 。
“守丘公，不愧【盛德】之名。”李凡感叹道。
"However, I had many familiar things at various points in time that acted like beacons."
néng wèi zì jǐ de dì zǐ kǎo lǜ de rú cǐ zhōu quán ， shǒu qiū gōng pà bú shì shān hǎi jiān míng shī dì yī liǎo 。
能为自己的弟子考虑的如此周全，守丘公怕不是山海间名师第一了。
"But the lone sail was alone on this endless sea with no direction," Li Fan thought.
xī shōu shān hǎi gǔ wù zhī qīng qì ， shèn zhì hái yǒu lì yú jiāng zì shēn tǐ nèi cán cún cháng shēng dà dào qū zhú chū qù 。 míng wù cǐ lǐ hòu ， lǐ fán zài wú gù jì 。
吸收山海古物之青气，甚至还有利于将自身体内残存长生大道驱逐出去。明悟此理后，李凡再无顾忌。
Again entering the memories of the lone sail, Li Fan did not immerse himself but skimmed through them. There were no significant events; only the solitary sail remained as a constant.
yā zhe zì jǐ shēn qū suǒ néng chéng shòu de jí xiàn ， xī shōu liàn huà qīng qì 。
压着自己身躯所能承受的极限，吸收炼化青气。
Only when Dao Yi completely broke through the defenses of this transcendent essence did Li Fan gain access to all its memories. The scenes did not change much until the lone sail eventually died in the endless sea.
fǎn zhèng zhǐ yī méi xuán huáng mù diāo ， jiù néng mǎn zú tā de liàn tǐ xū qiú 。 yě bú huì yǐng xiǎng dào xuán huáng xiān zhōu de qiáng huà 。
反正只一枚玄黄木雕，就能满足他的炼体需求。也不会影响到玄黄仙舟的强化。
It was difficult for Li Fan to estimate how long these memories spanned, but it seemed like an extremely long time—longer than any ordinary Transcendent being could endure.
yuán cái liào zú gòu de qíng kuàng xià ， zào huà hōng lú gōng yǔ dà dào lín shēn gōng de liàn tǐ ， píng jiè běn néng jiù kě zì xíng yùn zhuàn 。 lǐ fán zhǐ shì jiāng qí kāi qǐ hòu ， biàn bù zài guò fèn guān zhù 。
原材料足够的情况下，造化烘炉功与大道临身功的炼体，凭借本能就可自行运转。李凡只是将其开启后，便不再过分关注。
"Does a Transcendent Being have an end?"
ér shì jiāng zhù yì lì ， jí zhōng zài cǐ cì shōu huò shèng xià de mù biāo ： nà jù chāo tuō yí tuì shēn shàng 。
而是将注意力，集中在此次收获剩下的目标：那具超脱遗蜕身上。
Li Fan found this hard to believe. He also understood more deeply the value of Old Daoist's Longevity Path.
jiāng xī fù zài tā nǎo dài shàng de shān hǎi gǔ wù qū chú zhī hòu ， zhè wèi yǐ jīng yǔn luò de chāo tuō qiáng zhě zhōng yú lù chū zhēn róng 。
将吸附在他脑袋上的山海古物祛除之后，这位已经陨落的超脱强者终于露出真容。
"But the lifespan of a Transcendent Being must be incredibly long."
yán róng wǎn ruò shēng qián ， sì hū zhǐ shì xiàn rù chén shuì 。 pǒ wèi jùn lǎng ， méi yǔ jiān yī gǔ shuō bù chū de sǎ tuō zhī yì 。
颜容宛若生前，似乎只是陷入沉睡。颇为俊朗，眉宇间一股说不出的洒脱之意。
"So..."
zhǐ shì méi xīn bèi shān hǎi gǔ wù kěn shí chū de yí gè xuè sè xiǎo dòng ， jí bù hé xié 。
只是眉心被山海古物啃食出的一个血色小洞，极不和谐。
Li Fan had a vague understanding that the era in which the lone sail lived might have been during the early days when the beyond was just being established. Back then, there were few Transcendents, and many did not know where the beyond lay.
cǐ kè méi yǒu dào yān jī fā ， chāo tuō yí tuì tǐ nèi de chāo tuō zhēn yì ， méi yǒu xiǎn huà 。
此刻没有道湮激发，超脱遗蜕体内的超脱真意，没有显化。
Only by following their intuition could they travel to it. There was no one to guide them as pioneers.
lǐ fán yě méi yǒu lǔ mǎng ， zhí jiē yòng mò shā jiāng nà yè shān hǎi gū fān bī chū 。
李凡也没有鲁莽，直接用墨杀将那叶山海孤帆逼出。
Thus, they wandered in the Sea of Mountains and Seas until now.
Li Fan was patient as he waited for Dao Yi to fully adapt and digest the remnants of the Sea of Mountains and Seas. Meanwhile, the Yellow Emperor's Immortals were busy cleaning up the battlefield on Light-Being Star.
They found more powerful Dao treasures apart from the Dao Sword and Dao Saber they had seen before: a stone hand, a blood-stained green robe with numerous holes, and a withered branch. These items belonged to other possibilities that had been extinguished in the Void of Dao.
