“ dào yǒu cǐ yán dàng zhēn ?” hé gān xiān zhèng zhù , shén qíng míng xiǎn yǒu xiē yóu yù 。
“道友此言当真?”何干仙怔住,神情明显有些犹豫。
"Friend, it seems that the price of exposing the Five Tribes is too high!" Looking at the sea and fire ravaging before his eyes, Dry Heaven said with a pained expression.
“ hē hē , dāng rán ……”
“呵呵,当然……”
"Treating serious illnesses requires powerful medicines. If we can eliminate the Five Tribes in one fell swoop, this small sacrifice is definitely worth it. You need not worry; this possibility does not affect the final outcome."
“ bù zhēn 。” lǐ fán hū de huà fēng yī zhuǎn 。
“不真。”李凡忽的话锋一转。
"Look, if that were not the case, how could the Beyond have made such a grand move?" Dry Heaven pointed at Li Fan with his finger, but his eyes had already closed for some reason.
“ wǒ suī zhuī suǒ tā men xǔ jiǔ , rán xiāng jiào dāng chū 、 tā men shí lì yǐ jīng yǒu le zhì biàn 。 xiàn zài kàn lái , tóng jié wǔ zūn lián shǒu , jìn hū yǒu shèng zhě zhī wēi , bìng fēi xiàn zài de wǒ néng gòu pǐ dí 。 xū yào cóng cháng jì yì ……”
“我虽追索他们许久,然相较当初、他们实力已经有了质变。现在看来,同劫五尊联手,近乎有圣者之威,并非现在的我能够匹敌。需要从长计议……”
Thinking that he was afraid of the fire incident being exposed, Dry Heaven did not delve deeper. Following Li Fan's direction, they saw an incredibly bright white ring, seemingly infinite and boundless, descending from beyond the sea and sky to cover countless possibilities within the sea and sky.
lǐ fán de shí huà shí shuō , ràng hé gān xiān yǒu xiē chū hū yì liào 。
李凡的实话实说,让何干仙有些出乎意料。
Inside the white ring, several figures seemed to stand and flicker. However, hidden by the light circle, Dry Heaven could not see clearly.
“ nǐ kě zhī , zhè tóng jié wǔ zūn , shì shén me yàng de cún zài ?” lǐ fán wèn dào 。
“你可知,这同劫五尊,是什么样的存在?”李凡问道。
He felt a sense of terror and impending doom just by touching his eyes. It was as if all his secrets were laid bare, like being stripped naked and left in broad daylight for others to admire.
hé gān xiān yáo tóu 。
何干仙摇头。
The white ring instantly extinguished the raging true spirit fire, and the surging Daoian tide crashed into an impenetrable dam, unable to breach even a fraction of it despite its turbulent waves.
“ jiǒng yì yú bǐ àn zhū shèng 、 tài wēi shèng dì , bìng bù yǐ zhěng jiù shān hǎi wèi mù biāo 。 ér shì rú qiè guó dà dào bān , cóng zhū duō kě néng xìng , qiáng qǔ qí wù 、 tián chōng zì shēn 。 yǐ qī dǎ zào , néng yǔ shān hǎi pì měi , shèn zhì chāo tuō shān hǎi 、 dào yān de kě néng xìng 。” lǐ fán tiào wàng shān hǎi shēn chù , yǔ qì yōu yōu dào 。
“迥异于彼岸诸圣、太微圣帝,并不以拯救山海为目标。而是如窃国大道般,从诸多可能性,强取奇物、填充自身。以期打造,能与山海媲美,甚至超脱山海、道湮的可能性。”李凡眺望山海深处,语气幽幽道。
As the disaster gradually subsided, the sea and sky's illusory figure emerged from within the white ring. The possibilities that had been devoured by the true spirit fire and the great tide of Daoian were now reappearing in this illusory image of the sea and sky!
sì hū zhēn de qīn zì qù guò nà shēng miè zhī jiè yī yàng 。
似乎真的亲自去过那生灭之界一样。
Filling the "blank" spaces!
“ zhè rú hé shǐ de ? tā qiè yī fēn , shān hǎi bù jiù shǎo yī fēn dǐ yùn , wǒ děng dǐ yù dào yān chéng gōng de kě néng xìng 、 bù jiù yīn cǐ jiàng dī ?” hé gān xiān , nǎi shì yǒu dé zhī xiān , yīn ér wén zhī dà nù 。
“这如何使得?他窃一分,山海不就少一分底蕴,我等抵御道湮成功的可能性、不就因此降低?”何干仙,乃是有德之仙,因而闻之大怒。
A simple wooden boat also sailed through this newly created sea, as if time had been reversed.
“ kuàng qiě , cǐ jǔ jī hū děng tóng zài zào shān hǎi 。 yòu qǐ huì yǒu zhè me róng yì ? qiě bù shuō wǔ wèi jiā qǐ lái , cái miǎn qiǎng yǒu shèng zhě xiū wèi 。 jiù suàn shì zhēn zhèng wǔ shèng hé lì , yě nán yǐ zuò dào ba ? fǒu zé bǐ àn zhū shèng , yòu hé bì lì jīng jiān xīn 、 qù héng dù yǒng jì xū jiè ?”
“况且,此举几乎等同再造山海。又岂会有这么容易?且不说五位加起来,才勉强有圣者修为。就算是真正五圣合力,也难以做到吧?否则彼岸诸圣,又何必历经艰辛、去横渡永寂虚界?”
Countless lives that had vanished seemed to reappear. It was as if they had returned before the true spirit fire engulfed this part of the sea and sky.
“ yuán běn ma , wǒ yě shì zhè me xiǎng de 。 rèn wéi tóng jié wǔ zūn , bù guò shì zuò wú yì yì zhī shì 、 chuí sǐ zhēng zhá bà le 。 dàn xiàn zài ……”
“原本嘛,我也是这么想的。认为同劫五尊,不过是做无意义之事、垂死挣扎罢了。但现在……”
The anomaly did not end here. After the wooden boat overturned the sea, a small but insignificant pen flew out and began writing with grace.
lǐ fán hū de xiǎng dào le zhī qián tiān luó dì chéng gōng lǜ lǐng yuán chū xiān jiè wán chéng chāo tuō , yǐ jí tóng jié wǔ zūn 、 céng qīn zhì yuán chū , qiè qǔ tài shàng dào shū zhōng zhēn xiān zhuàn zì zhī shì 。
李凡忽的想到了之前天罗帝成功率领原初仙界完成超脱,以及同劫五尊、曾亲至原初,窃取太上道书中真仙篆字之事。
A figure appeared from under its brush, looking exactly like Li Fan!
cóng bǐ shí míng dào xiān de shén qíng lái kàn , nà bèi qiè de sān shí méi zhēn xiān zhuàn zì , jué jì bù jiǎn dān 。
从彼时铭道仙的神情来看,那被窃的三十枚真仙篆字,决计不简单。
Or rather, it was Li Fan's avatar that had ignited the sea and sky!
“ ruò shì wǒ cāi cè shǔ shí , yuán chū xiān jiè dàng zhēn chāo tuō shān hǎi 。 nà me zhè shēng miè zhī jiè , fù xíng gù shì , yě wèi bì bù kě néng 。”
“若是我猜测属实,原初仙界当真超脱山海。那么这生灭之界,复行故事,也未必不可能。”
A thin black line connected this figure to some place within the sea and sky, into the realm of life and death!
cǐ niàn tou yī shǎn ér guò , lǐ fán jì xù shuō dào :“ tā men de shí lì zēng zhǎng , yǒu xiē chāo hū wǒ de yù qī le 。 kǒng pà shēng miè zhī jiè , yě shì rú cǐ 。 yóu cǐ kě jiàn , tā men àn zì qiè qǔ le duō shǎo shān hǎi dǐ yùn 。”
此念头一闪而过,李凡继续说道:“他们的实力增长,有些超乎我的预期了。恐怕生灭之界,也是如此。由此可见,他们暗自窃取了多少山海底蕴。”
The white ring suddenly shrank and descended into that space.
“ huò xǔ xiàn zài hái chà yī xiē 。 dàn ruò jì xù ràng tā men zhè me xià qù ……”
“或许现在还差一些。但若继续让他们这么下去……”
But there was no grand battle as expected. The white ring disappeared from the sea and sky in just a moment.
hé gān xiān yǎn qián , fǎng fú zhēn de chū xiàn le yī qún hēi yǐng dà dào , qiǎo rán yóu lí zài shān hǎi gè chù 。 jiāng gè zhǒng zī yuán bù duàn qiè qǔ de huà miàn 。
何干仙眼前,仿佛真的出现了一群黑影大盗,悄然游离在山海各处。将各种资源不断窃取的画面。
Even the realm of life and death seemed to vanish with it?
xīn zhōng nán yǐ yì zhì de , shēng téng chū yī gǔ nù yì 。
心中难以抑制的,升腾出一股怒意。
Dry Heaven was left bewildered for a long time, unable to make a correct judgment. All he saw was the sea and sky regaining their vitality.
ruò bú shì dí què bú shì nà tóng jié wǔ zūn de duì shǒu , tā jī hū jiù zhēn de yào zhǔ dòng lā zhe lǐ fán , qián qù nà shēng miè zhī jiè yī tàn jiū jìng le 。
若不是的确不是那同劫五尊的对手,他几乎就真的要主动拉着李凡,前去那生灭之界一探究竟了。
It seemed that the water and fire calamities had never happened.
jiāng hé gān xiān de wēi miào shén qíng biàn huà kàn zài yǎn lǐ , lǐ fán àn zì diǎn tóu , duì qí xìng qíng yǒu le gèng jìn yí bù de liǎo jiě 。
将何干仙的微妙神情变化看在眼里,李凡暗自点头,对其性情有了更进一步的了解。
"Is this... the might of a saint?" Dry Heaven had never seen a saint personally intervene before today; witnessing it now truly left him awestruck.
wēi xiào zhe chū shēng dào :“ tóng jié wǔ zūn suī rán chāng kuáng , rán ér wǒ děng què yě wú xū tài guò yōu lǜ 。 bì jìng , shān hǎi bìng fēi wǒ men de shān hǎi , ér shì zhòng xiān 、 zhū shèng 、 shèng dì gòng tóng de shān hǎi 。”
微笑着出声道:“同劫五尊虽然猖狂,然而我等却也无需太过忧虑。毕竟,山海并非我们的山海,而是众仙、诸圣、圣帝共同的山海。”
With just one gesture, they could reverse the impending collapse of the sea and sky. Such power was beyond imagination!
“ zhū shèng 、 shèng dì zài yǒng jì xū jiè zhī wài , gèng gǔ lǎo de shí kōng zhōng fèn zhàn , yòu zěn me huì yǔn xǔ hòu fāng zhè zhù chóng bān de cún zài ?”
“诸圣、圣帝在永寂虚界之外,更古老的时空中奋战,又怎么会允许后方这蛀虫般的存在?”
Thinking about Li Fan's calm demeanor when he set fire to the sea earlier, Dry Heaven suddenly thought: "Could it be that he anticipated the Beyond saints' intervention?"
hé gān xiān ruò yǒu suǒ sī :“ dào yǒu de yì si shì ……”
何干仙若有所思:“道友的意思是……”
"What happened outside?" Just as Dry Heaven pondered this, Li Fan suddenly asked.
“ zhǐ xū jiāng shēng miè zhī jiè de xiāo xī sàn bō chū qù , ér hòu zuò bì shàng guān jí kě 。 tóng jié wú zūn suī qiáng , yòu rú hé qiáng de guò bǐ àn dǐ yùn ?”
“只需将生灭之界的消息散播出去,而后作壁上观即可。同劫无尊虽强,又如何强的过彼岸底蕴?”
Dry Heaven was taken aback and only described everything in detail after Li Fan prodded him again.
hé gān xiān yǒu xiē gān gà :“ yīn wǒ suǒ xiū dào tú tè shū , gù ér yì zhí duì bǐ àn yǒu suǒ jì dàn , shǐ zhōng bù céng qián wǎng 。 zhǐ yǐn yǐn zhī xiǎo , bǐ àn zhū shèng míng tóu 。”
何干仙有些尴尬:“因我所修道途特殊,故而一直对彼岸有所忌惮,始终不曾前往。只隐隐知晓,彼岸诸圣名头。”
Upon hearing that the saints were no longer there, Li Fan slowly opened his eyes.
“ wú fáng , wǒ zì yǒu shǒu duàn 。 dào yǒu qiě kàn biàn shì 。”
“无妨,我自有手段。道友且看便是。”
Indeed, having truly experienced the terrifying power of the saints, he did not simply close his eyes; he even severed all external observations to guard his inner self.
shuō zhe , lǐ fán miàn qián biàn fú xiàn yī dào jī hū gēn qí běn zūn , wán quán yī mú yī yàng de shēn yǐng 。
说着,李凡面前便浮现一道几乎跟其本尊,完全一模一样的身影。
He was afraid that any observation might be detected by the saints, even their illusory forms. He kept his vigilance at its peak, using his intuition as a guide, ready to activate the True Technique at the slightest hint of danger.
chú le miàn róng niǔ qū , kàn bù qīng jù tǐ róng mào , qí qì xī gēn lǐ fán quán wú qū bié 。
除了面容扭曲,看不清具体容貌,其气息跟李凡全无区别。
He did not dare look at the grand scene where the saints restored and suppressed the realm of life and death.
dàn zài hé gān xiān yǎn lǐ , zhè yòu hǎo sì shì lìng wài yí gè dān dú de gè tǐ 。
但在何干仙眼里,这又好似是另外一个单独的个体。
Only after everything had calmed down did he return to normal, immediately asking Dry Heaven for more details.
“ dào yǒu zhè shēn wài huà shēn zhī shù ……” yuè shì guān chá zhuó mó , hé gān xiān yuè shì zhèn jīng 。
“道友这身外化身之术……”越是观察琢磨,何干仙越是震惊。
"White ring, sea and sky, wooden boat, pen..."
zhè suǒ chuàng zào fēn shēn , jī hū gēn tā yǐ dào dé fēn jiā zhī fǎ 、 suǒ chǎn shēng de lìng wài yí gè zì jǐ , yǒu xiē xiāng tóng le 。
这所创造分身,几乎跟他以道德分家之法、所产生的另外一个自己,有些相同了。
Li Fan listened intently with a strange expression in his eyes.
zhǐ bù guò tā quán lài dào dé dà dào de tè shū zhī chù , ér qiě dào gēn dé , nǐ zhōng yǒu wǒ 、 wǒ zhōng yǒu nǐ , jí biàn fēn jiā , yī rán yǒu qiān sī wàn lǚ de lián xì 。
只不过他全赖道德大道的特殊之处,而且道跟德,你中有我、我中有你,即便分家,依然有千丝万缕的联系。
Dry Heaven greatly overestimated him. He never expected the Beyond saints to have such powers to reshape the sea and sky and reverse time!
jiù bǐ rú gāng gāng , tā kě yǐ yòng tóng yī zhī fǎ , gǎn wù dào lìng wài zhī tā yǔn luò qián de jì yì yī yàng 。
就比如刚刚,他可以用同一之法,感悟到另外之他陨落前的记忆一样。
"While it was done by multiple saints, their actions were almost indistinguishable from the True Technique."
ér hé gān xiān néng chá jué dào , lǐ fán de zhè fēn shēn shén tōng suǒ chuàng zào de fēn shēn ……
而何干仙能察觉到,李凡的这分身神通所创造的分身……
"Especially that wooden boat..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
sì hū shì yī wán quán dú lì de gè tǐ 。
似乎是一完全独立的个体。
He did not think about the saint titles he had seen in the Beyond. Instead, he pondered what these phenomena represented for the Dao of the sea and sky.
jī hū shì shùn jiān , hé gān xiān jiù míng bái lǐ fán jiē xià lái xiǎng yào gàn shén me le 。
几乎是瞬间,何干仙就明白李凡接下来想要干什么了。
"The illusory image of the sea and sky symbolizes the sea and sky."
zhèng rú tā suǒ xiǎng de nà yàng , xīn shēng lǐ fán dé le shǐ mìng , shēn tǐ zhōu zāo yǒng qǐ zhì rè guāng yàn 。
正如他所想的那样,新生李凡得了使命,身体周遭涌起炙热光焰。
"That wooden boat seems to reverse time and space, but it is clearly on a different level from ordinary 'reverse' techniques, far surpassing them."
yùn niàng le piàn kè , ér hòu jiù huà zuò yī dào liú guāng , dùn rù shān hǎi zhī zhōng 。
酝酿了片刻,而后就化作一道流光,遁入山海之中。
"And that pen..."
yuán běn jiù méi yǒu píng xī de shān hǎi zhēn líng dà huǒ , zài dù bèi diǎn rán 。
原本就没有平息的山海真灵大火,再度被点燃。
"It's not just about pursuing enemies; there's more to it."
zhè yī cì , xīn shēng lǐ fán gèng shì sì wú jì dàn , jí sù chuān suō yú dào yān zhī zhōng , jiāng suǒ guò kě néng xìng 、 yī yì diǎn rán 。
这一次,新生李凡更是肆无忌惮,急速穿梭于道湮之中,将所过可能性、一一点燃。
Li Fan had a premonition that his avatar would have a terrible fate.
“ dào yǒu , nǐ zhè ……” hé gān xiān kàn de yǎn pí zhí tiào 。
“道友,你这……”何干仙看的眼皮直跳。
"Why did they remain indifferent when I threatened to burn down the sea and sky?"
lǐ fán zhǐ shì wēi xiào zhe bǎi bǎi shǒu 。
李凡只是微笑着摆摆手。
"How terrifying are the saints' powers? This is only the power of their illusory forms. The true saints aren't in this part of the sea and sky."
rú guǒ shuō xiān qián nà chǎng gé jué tóng jié wǔ zūn de zhēn líng dà huǒ , zhǐ jú xiàn zài shān hǎi yì yú de huà 。
如果说先前那场隔绝同劫五尊的真灵大火,只局限在山海一隅的话。
"The Five Tribes, who were considered major enemies, were suppressed without even a ripple..."
nà me xiàn zài lǐ fán suǒ zào jiù de zhè chǎng zāi nàn , jiù yǒu bō jí dà fàn wéi shān hǎi de qū shì 。
那么现在李凡所造就的这场灾难,就有波及大范围山海的趋势。
Amazed by it all, Li Fan's resolve for his previous plan was further strengthened.
shèn zhì ruò shì rèn qí rán shāo xià qù , zhè duàn shān hǎi tí qián fù miè , yě bìng fēi bù kě néng zhī shì 。
甚至若是任其燃烧下去,这段山海提前覆灭,也并非不可能之事。
He would not expose himself to the saints before finding a way to counter them. Otherwise, it would be like suicide!
zhī xiǎo bǐ àn bì huì zuò chū yìng duì , lǐ fán gū suàn zhe shí jiān , guǒ duàn jiāng zì jǐ liú zài fēn shēn de yī dào shén niàn sàn qù 。
知晓彼岸必会做出应对,李凡估算着时间,果断将自己留在分身的一道神念散去。
Not just Li Fan; Dry Heaven and all the transcendent experts who witnessed the saints' illusory forms were also deeply engrossed in enlightenment, eagerly savoring the mysteries of the saint's phenomena.
zhè shén niàn , bìng fēi shì yòng lái gēn fēn shēn gōu tōng de 。 ér shì yòng lái shī zhǎn zhēn líng fén jǐn zhī shù de yǐn zi 。
这神念,并非是用来跟分身沟通的。而是用来施展真灵焚尽之术的引子。
Saints were almost mythical figures. Even seeing their faces was rare, let alone them personally intervening.
lǐ fán cān wù zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn de fēn shēn shén tōng , suī rán xuán miào 。 què yě hái méi yǒu dá dào néng gòu shēng zào chū wú xiàn líng xìng de dì bù 。 shèn zhì jiù lián duì zì jǐ de wú xiàn líng xìng , jìn xíng fēn pèi yě dōu hái zuò bú dào 。
李凡参悟真假之变的分身神通,虽然玄妙。却也还没有达到能够生造出无限灵性的地步。甚至就连对自己的无限灵性,进行分配也都还做不到。
This opportunity was unprecedented!
gù ér xiǎng yào jiāng shān hǎi diǎn rán , réng xū běn zūn chū shǒu 。
故而想要将山海点燃,仍需本尊出手。
All thanks to Li Fan!
cǐ kè yǐ jīng nào qǐ zú gòu dà dòng jìng , suì jiāng shén niàn cán yú diǎn rán sàn qù , huǐ diào wéi yī néng gòu zhuī zōng dào běn zūn de xiàn suǒ 。
此刻已经闹起足够大动静,遂将神念残余点燃散去,毁掉唯一能够追踪到本尊的线索。
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Decision seemed unable to generate feedback on cultivation from this experience.
ér fēn shēn zé shì yī zhào jì huà , cháo zhe shēng miè zhī jiè suǒ zài , jí sù táo dùn 。
而分身则是依照计划,朝着生灭之界所在,极速逃遁。
Otherwise, it would be an unimaginable return of power.
“ cǐ jǔ gù rán kě yǐ jiāng tóng jié wǔ zūn bào lù , dàn dài jià yě wèi miǎn yǒu xiē tài dà le !” kàn zhe rù mù suǒ jí , jìn shì yī piàn huǒ guāng de shān hǎi , hé gān xiān yǒu xiē xīn tòng de shuō dào 。
“此举固然可以将同劫五尊暴露,但代价也未免有些太大了!”看着入目所及,尽是一片火光的山海,何干仙有些心痛的说道。
"Morality..."
“ zhì zhòng bìng xū hěn yào 。 ruò shì néng jiāng tóng jié wǔ zūn yī jǔ chǎn chú , zhè diǎn fù chū , jué duì shì zhí de de 。 nǐ bù bì yōu lǜ , zhè diǎn kě néng xìng , wú guān zhōng jú 。”
“治重病需狠药。若是能将同劫五尊一举铲除,这点付出,绝对是值得的。你不必忧虑,这点可能性,无关终局。”
Dry Heaven muttered, gaining a new understanding of the true meaning of morality after seeing the real saint.
“ nǐ kàn , ruò fēi rú cǐ , bǐ àn yòu zěn me kě néng rú cǐ dà dòng gān gē ?”
“你看,若非如此,彼岸又怎么可能如此大动干戈?”
After a long time, he said to Li Fan: "Perhaps, without your help, I also have a chance to achieve enlightenment and become a saint."
hé gān xiān zhǐ jiàn lǐ fán shǒu zhǐ yáo zhǐ , qí yǎn jīng què shì bù zhī wèi hé yǐ jīng bì shàng 。
何干仙只见李凡手指遥指,其眼睛却是不知为何已经闭上。
"If I fail, I will definitely need you again," Dry Heaven quickly added.
yǐ wéi shì duì fāng hài pà zòng huǒ yī shì bào lù , tā méi yǒu shēn jiū 。
以为是对方害怕纵火一事暴露,他没有深究。
"Looks like this trip was fruitful. Fine." Li Fan agreed readily.
shùn zhe lǐ fán zhǐ yǐn de fāng xiàng wàng qù 。
顺着李凡指引的方向望去。
"Let's go check out the remnants of the realm of life and death now that the Five Tribes seem to be suppressed?" Li Fan suggested.
zhǐ jiàn yī dào cuǐ càn de bái huán , shì yǒu wú qióng guǎng 、 wú liàng dà 。
只见一道璀璨的白环,似有无穷广、无量大。
"There doesn't seem to be any remnants there."
hǎo sì cóng shān hǎi tiān wài jiàng lín , lǒng zhào shān hǎi jiān wú shù kě néng xìng 。
好似从山海天外降临,笼罩山海间无数可能性。
"Even if it's a residual force from the saints, it would still have great value," Dry Heaven thought this was reasonable and agreed.
bái huán zhōng , shì yǒu jǐ dào rén yǐng chù lì shǎn dòng 。
白环中,似有几道人影矗立闪动。
The two traveled together, crossing through the sea and sky. When they arrived at the original location of the realm of life and death, five figures were already standing there, watching silently as they approached.
rán yǐn yú guāng quān zhī nèi , hé gān xiān yě wú fǎ kàn gè zhēn qiè 。
然隐于光圈之内,何干仙也无法看个真切。
"They are all transcendent experts."
zhǐ jué de zì jǐ jǐn jǐn shì shuāng mù chù jí , jiù shēng chū yī gǔ xīn jīng ròu tiào 、 dà nàn lín tóu zhī gǎn 。
只觉得自己仅仅是双目触及,就生出一股心惊肉跳、大难临头之感。
"I don't recognize any of them."
gèng jué de nèi xīn yī qiè mì mì dōu xiǎn lù wú yí , wǎn ruò bèi rén bā guāng le yī fú 、 diū zài guāng tiān huà rì zhī xià , rèn yóu páng rén guān shǎng bān 。
更觉得内心一切秘密都显露无疑,宛若被人扒光了衣服、丢在光天化日之下,任由旁人观赏般。
Li Fan observed and said to himself.
bái quān suǒ zhì , yuán běn hái xióng xióng sì nüè de zhēn líng dà huǒ , shùn jiān píng xī 。
白圈所至,原本还熊熊肆虐的真灵大火,瞬间平息。
He noticed more and more transcendent experts arriving from various parts of the sea.
xiōng yǒng de dào yān zhī cháo , rú tóng zhuàng shàng le jiān bù kě cuī de dà bà , rèn píng cháo xī fān téng , yě wú fǎ yú yuè fēn háo 。
汹涌的道湮之潮,如同撞上了坚不可摧的大坝,任凭潮汐翻腾,也无法逾越分毫。
Li Fan hurriedly examined the traces here. At this moment, Dry Heaven quietly sent a message, guiding Li Fan in a direction.
zāi jié jiàn zhǐ , yòu yǒu shān hǎi xū yǐng , zì bái quān zhōng yǒng xiàn 。
灾劫渐止,又有山海虚影,自白圈中涌现。
"Another me seems to have fallen here,"
nà xiē yuán běn bèi zhēn líng zhī huǒ 、 dào yān dà cháo qīng tūn huǐ miè de kě néng xìng , jìng rán yú zhè shān hǎi xū xiāng zhòng chóng xīn xiǎn xiàn !
那些原本被真灵之火、道湮大潮倾吞毁灭的可能性,竟然于这山海虚相中重新显现!
Li Fan's heart stirred as he focused even more of his mind on investigating.
jiāng “ kòng bái ” zhī chù , jìn xíng tián chōng !
将“空白”之处,进行填充!
The saints' illusory forms did not destroy the realm of life and death; they simply moved it like moving house.
yòu yǒu yī sōu pǔ sù mù chuán , zài zhè bèi shēng zào shān hǎi jiān xún yóu yī quān 。
又有一艘朴素木船,在这被生造山海间巡游一圈。
All people, events, and objects within that possibility vanished, leaving only a blank space to counteract the Daoian tide.
"Friend, it seems that the price of exposing the Five Tribes is too high!" Looking at the sea and fire ravaging before his eyes, Dry Heaven said with a pained expression.
"Treating serious illnesses requires powerful medicines. If we can eliminate the Five Tribes in one fell swoop, this small sacrifice is definitely worth it. You need not worry; this possibility does not affect the final outcome."
"Look, if that were not the case, how could the Beyond have made such a grand move?" Dry Heaven pointed at Li Fan with his finger, but his eyes had already closed for some reason.
Thinking that he was afraid of the fire incident being exposed, Dry Heaven did not delve deeper. Following Li Fan's direction, they saw an incredibly bright white ring, seemingly infinite and boundless, descending from beyond the sea and sky to cover countless possibilities within the sea and sky.
Inside the white ring, several figures seemed to stand and flicker. However, hidden by the light circle, Dry Heaven could not see clearly.
He felt a sense of terror and impending doom just by touching his eyes. It was as if all his secrets were laid bare, like being stripped naked and left in broad daylight for others to admire.
The white ring instantly extinguished the raging true spirit fire, and the surging Daoian tide crashed into an impenetrable dam, unable to breach even a fraction of it despite its turbulent waves.
As the disaster gradually subsided, the sea and sky's illusory figure emerged from within the white ring. The possibilities that had been devoured by the true spirit fire and the great tide of Daoian were now reappearing in this illusory image of the sea and sky!
Filling the "blank" spaces!
A simple wooden boat also sailed through this newly created sea, as if time had been reversed.
Countless lives that had vanished seemed to reappear. It was as if they had returned before the true spirit fire engulfed this part of the sea and sky.
The anomaly did not end here. After the wooden boat overturned the sea, a small but insignificant pen flew out and began writing with grace.
A figure appeared from under its brush, looking exactly like Li Fan!
Or rather, it was Li Fan's avatar that had ignited the sea and sky!
A thin black line connected this figure to some place within the sea and sky, into the realm of life and death!
The white ring suddenly shrank and descended into that space.
But there was no grand battle as expected. The white ring disappeared from the sea and sky in just a moment.
Even the realm of life and death seemed to vanish with it?
Dry Heaven was left bewildered for a long time, unable to make a correct judgment. All he saw was the sea and sky regaining their vitality.
It seemed that the water and fire calamities had never happened.
"Is this... the might of a saint?" Dry Heaven had never seen a saint personally intervene before today; witnessing it now truly left him awestruck.
With just one gesture, they could reverse the impending collapse of the sea and sky. Such power was beyond imagination!
Thinking about Li Fan's calm demeanor when he set fire to the sea earlier, Dry Heaven suddenly thought: "Could it be that he anticipated the Beyond saints' intervention?"
"What happened outside?" Just as Dry Heaven pondered this, Li Fan suddenly asked.
Dry Heaven was taken aback and only described everything in detail after Li Fan prodded him again.
Upon hearing that the saints were no longer there, Li Fan slowly opened his eyes.
Indeed, having truly experienced the terrifying power of the saints, he did not simply close his eyes; he even severed all external observations to guard his inner self.
He was afraid that any observation might be detected by the saints, even their illusory forms. He kept his vigilance at its peak, using his intuition as a guide, ready to activate the True Technique at the slightest hint of danger.
He did not dare look at the grand scene where the saints restored and suppressed the realm of life and death.
Only after everything had calmed down did he return to normal, immediately asking Dry Heaven for more details.
"White ring, sea and sky, wooden boat, pen..."
Li Fan listened intently with a strange expression in his eyes.
Dry Heaven greatly overestimated him. He never expected the Beyond saints to have such powers to reshape the sea and sky and reverse time!
"While it was done by multiple saints, their actions were almost indistinguishable from the True Technique."
"Especially that wooden boat..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
He did not think about the saint titles he had seen in the Beyond. Instead, he pondered what these phenomena represented for the Dao of the sea and sky.
"The illusory image of the sea and sky symbolizes the sea and sky."
"That wooden boat seems to reverse time and space, but it is clearly on a different level from ordinary 'reverse' techniques, far surpassing them."
"And that pen..."
"It's not just about pursuing enemies; there's more to it."
Li Fan had a premonition that his avatar would have a terrible fate.
"Why did they remain indifferent when I threatened to burn down the sea and sky?"
"How terrifying are the saints' powers? This is only the power of their illusory forms. The true saints aren't in this part of the sea and sky."
"The Five Tribes, who were considered major enemies, were suppressed without even a ripple..."
Amazed by it all, Li Fan's resolve for his previous plan was further strengthened.
He would not expose himself to the saints before finding a way to counter them. Otherwise, it would be like suicide!
Not just Li Fan; Dry Heaven and all the transcendent experts who witnessed the saints' illusory forms were also deeply engrossed in enlightenment, eagerly savoring the mysteries of the saint's phenomena.
Saints were almost mythical figures. Even seeing their faces was rare, let alone them personally intervening.
This opportunity was unprecedented!
All thanks to Li Fan!
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Decision seemed unable to generate feedback on cultivation from this experience.
Otherwise, it would be an unimaginable return of power.
"Morality..."
Dry Heaven muttered, gaining a new understanding of the true meaning of morality after seeing the real saint.
After a long time, he said to Li Fan: "Perhaps, without your help, I also have a chance to achieve enlightenment and become a saint."
"If I fail, I will definitely need you again," Dry Heaven quickly added.
"Looks like this trip was fruitful. Fine." Li Fan agreed readily.
"Let's go check out the remnants of the realm of life and death now that the Five Tribes seem to be suppressed?" Li Fan suggested.
"There doesn't seem to be any remnants there."
"Even if it's a residual force from the saints, it would still have great value," Dry Heaven thought this was reasonable and agreed.
The two traveled together, crossing through the sea and sky. When they arrived at the original location of the realm of life and death, five figures were already standing there, watching silently as they approached.
"They are all transcendent experts."
"I don't recognize any of them."
Li Fan observed and said to himself.
He noticed more and more transcendent experts arriving from various parts of the sea.
Li Fan hurriedly examined the traces here. At this moment, Dry Heaven quietly sent a message, guiding Li Fan in a direction.
"Another me seems to have fallen here,"
Li Fan's heart stirred as he focused even more of his mind on investigating.
The saints' illusory forms did not destroy the realm of life and death; they simply moved it like moving house.
All people, events, and objects within that possibility vanished, leaving only a blank space to counteract the Daoian tide.
