liǎng dào xū yǐng zhī jiān ， shì yǒu wō liú xuán zhuǎn 。
两道虚影之间，似有涡流旋转。
Between two vast voids, the darkness seemed to stretch endlessly. A faint sense of unease stirred within him as he gazed into the abyss.
yī fù mó hú de tài jí tú ， yǐ dào dé zhēn xiān liǎng dào fēn huà shēn yǐng wèi yīn yáng yú yǎn ， shì dòng shì jìng 、 shì tíng shì xuán 、 shì fēn shì hé ！
一副模糊的太极图，以道德真仙两道分化身影为阴阳鱼眼，似动似静、似停似旋、似分似合！
---
“ dào dé fēn jiā ……”
“道德分家……”
The path ahead was shrouded in a dense fog, and the air around him grew increasingly heavy with an indescribable pressure. He could feel it pressing down on his spirit, making every breath more labored. The void seemed to be alive, pulsating with an ancient and formidable presence.
lǐ fán shuāng mù jǐn dīng zhe qián fāng zhèng zài yī huà wèi èr de qí miào xiàn xiàng 。
李凡双目紧盯着前方正在一化为二的奇妙现象。
"Tru!" he whispered, his voice barely audible over the cacophony of his own heartbeat.
dāng hēi bái tài jí xuán zhuǎn kuài dào yí dìng chéng dù zhī shí ， chà nà jiān biàn xiāo shī zài lǐ fán de shì yě zhī zhōng 。
当黑白太极旋转快到一定程度之时，刹那间便消失在李凡的视野之中。
He had come this far, through countless lifetimes, to uncover the secrets of True Self. But now, as the moment approached, he felt a strange reluctance, a fear that gnawed at him from within.
tóng shí dào dé zhēn xiān ， yě bù xiàn yú shì 。
同时道德真仙，也不现于世。
---
qǔ ér dài zhī de ， nǎi zhì yī dào yī dé 、 liǎng wèi chāo tuō zhě ！
取而代之的，乃至一道一德、两位超脱者！
The white fog began to swirl and twist, forming a shapeless mass that seemed to be reaching out towards him. He could feel its presence, heavy and oppressive, pressing down on his spirit.
cǐ kè tā men hái méi qīng xǐng guò lái ， yī jiù pán zuò 、 shuāng mù jǐn bì 。
此刻他们还没清醒过来，依旧盘坐、双目紧闭。
"Tru!" he shouted again, his voice echoing through the void. "Please, don't let this happen!"
dàn fēn jiā zhī hòu ， liǎng wèi zhēn xiān de qíng kuàng ， què shì dà yǒu bù tóng ！
但分家之后，两位真仙的情况，却是大有不同！
But the white fog only seemed to grow more intense, its edges sharpening into a menacing form. The pressure increased, and for a moment, he thought he could hear whispers, faint voices calling out from the depths of the void.
zàn qiě yī jiù yán yòng xiān qián de chēng wèi 。
暂且依旧沿用先前的称谓。
---
hé gān xiān de qì xī píng wěn ， méi yǒu chū xiàn dà de shí lì bō dòng 。 shèn zhì shí lì hái yǐn yǐn yǒu suǒ jīng jìn 。
何干仙的气息平稳，没有出现大的实力波动。甚至实力还隐隐有所精进。
He tried to focus, to will his True Self back to him, but it felt like an impossible task. His body trembled uncontrollably as fear gripped him, threatening to consume him whole.
ér wú miàn xiān de jìng jiè ， què fǎng fú yī luò qiān zhàng 。 nà zhāng liǎn páng yě màn màn biàn dé tòu míng 。
而无面仙的境界，却仿佛一落千丈。那张脸庞也慢慢变得透明。
"Tru!" he screamed again, his voice raw with desperation. "Please, come back!"
tā èr rén gěi lǐ fán de gǎn jué ……
他二人给李凡的感觉……
The white fog seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally settling down. The pressure lessened, and the void returned to its usual calm.
què réng shì wú miàn xiān gèng jù wēi xié xìng ！
却仍是无面仙更具威胁性！
---
“ dào dé fēn jiā ， zuì zhōng suǒ qiú biàn shì jiāng dào yǔ dé ， qí zhōng yī xiàng wán quán shě qù 、 zhǐ liú lìng wài chún cuì yī xiàng 。”
“道德分家，最终所求便是将道与德，其中一项完全舍去、只留另外纯粹一项。”
He slowly regained consciousness, his body still trembling from the ordeal. He looked around, trying to regain his composure.
“ dào dé běn jiù nán fēn bǐ cǐ ， zhè bù duàn fēn lí de guò chéng ……”
“道德本就难分彼此，这不断分离的过程……”
"Alive," he whispered to himself, his voice barely audible. "I'm alive."
“ tóng yàng dài biǎo zhe mǒu zhǒng jù hé ！”
“同样代表着某种聚合！”
The experience had left him shaken, but also determined. He knew that True Self was a powerful force, one that could bring both light and darkness. And now, more than ever, he needed to master it.
lǐ fán yǎn qián ， nà yǐ jīng xiāo shī de tài jí tú hǎo sì zài dù chū xiàn 。
李凡眼前，那已经消失的太极图好似再度出现。
---
bìng qiě suí zháo jí sù de xuán zhuǎn ， hēi bái èr sè zhèng cóng róng hé zhōng tuō lí kāi lái 。 dàn zài yuán běn de tài jí zhī wài ， lìng yǒu gèng dà de 、 xīn de yī fù tài jí tú ， zhèng zài yùn yù 。
并且随着急速的旋转，黑白二色正从融合中脱离开来。但在原本的太极之外，另有更大的、新的一副太极图，正在孕育。
He spent the next few days meditating on the events of his last life, trying to understand what had happened when he first encountered True Self. The void seemed to hold secrets, secrets that were beyond comprehension.
yì huò zhě shuō ， nà fú huī hóng de tài jí tú yǐ jīng chāo tuō le “ tài jí ” de gài niàn ， ér gèng xiàng shì yí gè zhǎn xīn de shì jiè 。 zhèng rú xiān qián lǐ fán gēn hé gān xiān suǒ kuī tàn dào de ， wàn dào chū zhòng yǎn de jǐng xiàng rú chū yī zhé ！
亦或者说，那幅恢弘的太极图已经超脱了“太极”的概念，而更像是一个崭新的世界。正如先前李凡跟何干仙所窥探到的，万道初重衍的景象如出一辙！
"Star," he thought, "the source of all existence and destruction."
“ yí dàn wán chéng fèn lí 、 chóng zǔ 。 nà biàn shì zhǎn jiù cóng xīn 、 tài jí shēng wàn xiàng 。 dào dé fēn jiā ， shí zé shì tiào chū zì shēn dào zé xìng zhì shù fù ！ nán guài néng lì dì chéng shèng ！”
“一旦完成分离、重组。那便是斩旧从新、太极生万象。道德分家，实则是跳出自身道则性质束缚！难怪能立地成圣！”
The memory of the Great Devouring still lingered in his mind, a reminder of the power that lay hidden within the void. He knew that this was no ordinary force; it was something far greater, something that could reshape reality itself.
lǐ fán yǐn yǐn míng bái ， shàng yī shì dào dé chéng shèng de jī lǐ suǒ zài le 。
李凡隐隐明白，上一世道德成圣的机理所在了。
---
jiǎn ér yán zhī ， jiù shì tōng guò dào dé fēn jiā zhè děng shén tōng dà shù ， bǎi tuō běn shēn 【 dào dé 】 dà dào de xìng zhì 。
简而言之，就是通过道德分家这等神通大术，摆脱本身【道德】大道的性质。
He decided to take action. The next time he encountered True Self, he would be prepared. He would face it head-on and learn everything he could about its nature.
yīn qí wú ， gù wú suǒ bù yǒu 、 wú suǒ bù bāo 。
因其无，故无所不有、无所不包。
---
jiù hǎo bǐ ， zài yī guān liáo tǐ xì děng jí sēn yán de fēng jiàn wáng cháo zhōng ， rèn nǐ rú hé jīng jīng yè yè 、 láo kǔ gōng gāo ， lùn fēng xíng shǎng de huà ， chéng xiàng 、 shǒu fǔ 、 tài shī 、 yī zì bìng jiān wáng zhī lèi ， yǐ jīng shì fēng wú kě fēng 、 rén chén jí xiàn le 。
就好比，在一官僚体系等级森严的封建王朝中，任你如何兢兢业业、劳苦功高，论封行赏的话，丞相、首辅、太师、一字并肩王之类，已经是封无可封、人臣极限了。
Meanwhile, Bai Shu Yue found herself in a similar state of unease. She too had faced the Great Devouring, but for her, it was a different kind of fear. The memory of that cataclysmic event still haunted her dreams, reminding her of the immense power that lay beyond the veil.
xiǎng yào zài jìn yí bù ……
想要再进一步……
"Only those with transcendent power can survive such a great calamity," she mused to herself. "Am I truly ready?"
yào me shì yǐ xià qī shàng 、 xíng huáng páo jiā shēn zhī jǔ 。
要么是以下欺上、行黄袍加身之举。
She knew that she could not let the memories of her past life consume her. She had faced them many times before and had grown stronger each time. Now, she was determined to face True Self head-on.
yào me zé shì tiān jiē tà jǐn gōng qīng gǔ 、 zhòng kāi tiān dì 。
要么则是天街踏尽公卿骨、重开天地。
---
yào me zé shì yú yì dì hǎi wài quān dì wèi wáng ， lìng qǐ lú zào 。
要么则是于异地海外圈地为王，另起炉灶。
With renewed determination, Bai Shu Yue began her journey once again. The void seemed to pulse with an ancient power, a force that both terrified and fascinated her.
rú guǒ shuō ， zhèng cháng chéng shèng shǒu duàn shì yī èr de huà ， nà me dào dé zhēn xiān de zhèng dào ， biàn shì cǎi yòng de dì sān zhǒng fāng fǎ 。
如果说，正常成圣手段是一二的话，那么道德真仙的证道，便是采用的第三种方法。
"Without the Boundless," she thought, "it feels like I'm missing something essential."
lìng pì xī jìng ！
另辟蹊径！
She knew that the restrictions of True Self had shaped her in ways she could not fully understand. But now, as she faced it again, she felt a sense of liberation.
“ xiǎo guó ér guǎ mín ， nán guài shàng yī shì wǒ suǒ jiàn 【 dào dé 】， yuǎn méi yǒu bǐ àn zhū shèng nà me qiáng dà 。”
“小国而寡民，难怪上一世我所见【道德】，远没有彼岸诸圣那么强大。”
---
“ wǒ hái yǐ wéi ， shì shèng zhě zhī jiān ， yì yǒu zhè me dà de qiáng ruò chā jù ne 。”
“我还以为，是圣者之间，亦有这么大的强弱差距呢。”
After several months of meditation and reflection, Bai Shu Yue's demeanor became calm and composed. She no longer feared the void; instead, she embraced its power.
jìn jù lí guān mó dào dé chéng shèng zhī mì ， lǐ fán zhōng yú míng bái shàng yī shì wèi shén me zì jǐ néng gòu zài yī zūn shèng zhě miàn qián ， cóng róng táo shēng le 。
近距离观摩道德成圣之秘，李凡终于明白上一世为什么自己能够在一尊圣者面前，从容逃生了。
"Great Devouring," she whispered to herself, "it is not so formidable after all."
“ bù guò ， gǔ lái qiáng ruò wú dìng zé 。 suī zhèng dào shí ruò ， què bìng bù yì wèi zhe yī bèi zi ruò 。 zhǐ yào xiān chéng shèng le ， yǐ hòu yǒu de shì jī huì qiáng shèng qǐ lái 。” jiàn guò tài duō zuì ěr xiǎo guó mán huāng jué qǐ de lì zi ， lǐ fán duì zhè dào dé chéng shèng zhī fǎ de qián lì ， shí fēn kěn dìng 。
“不过，古来强弱无定则。虽证道时弱，却并不意味着一辈子弱。只要先成圣了，以后有的是机会强盛起来。”见过太多蕞尔小国蛮荒崛起的例子，李凡对这道德成圣之法的潜力，十分肯定。
She knew that this time, when faced with True Self, she would be ready. The memories of her past life had prepared her for this moment.
“ zhǐ kě xī ， sì hū zhǐ shì yòng yú 【 dào dé 】 zhī tú shàng ， ér bù jù bèi pǔ biàn shì yòng xìng 。 yì huò zhě ， shì wǒ wù xìng bù gòu ……”
“只可惜，似乎只适用于【道德】之途上，而不具备普遍适用性。亦或者，是我悟性不够……”
---
lǐ fán zhèng zài sī cǔn de gōng fu ， xīn de hé gān xiān gēn wú miàn xiān zhōng yú cóng wù dào zhōng qīng xǐng guò lái 。
李凡正在思忖的功夫，新的何干仙跟无面仙终于从悟道中清醒过来。
With renewed confidence, Bai Shu Yue set out once again. She traveled through the void, searching for a worthy opponent to test her newfound strength.
tā men qí qí kàn xiàng lǐ fán ， suī dōu gǒng shǒu shì yì 、 dàn què yí gè mù lù gǎn jī ， yí gè yǎn dài jǐng tì 。
他们齐齐看向李凡，虽都拱手示意、但却一个目露感激，一个眼带警惕。
"Let's find a trueimmortal," she declared, "and see what we can do."
lǐ fán hā hā yī xiào ， huī shǒu jiāng zhēn líng zhī huǒ yǐ jí wéi chí de zhēn yì jiǎ shén tōng sàn qù ：“ dào dé fēn jiā ， guǒ rán xuán miào wàn duān 。”
李凡哈哈一笑，挥手将真灵之火以及维持的真亦假神通散去：“道德分家，果然玄妙万端。”
She knew that the path ahead would be fraught with danger, but she was determined to face it head-on.
“ yuǎn bù rú dào yǒu shén tōng ！” wú miàn xiān yīn chén xiào dào 。
“远不如道友神通！”无面仙阴沉笑道。
---
“ cǐ wǒ ， bìng fēi zhī qián de nà ge wǒ 。 yī fēn ér èr zhī qián de jì yì 、 qíng gǎn ， wán quán gēn wǒ xiāng tóng 。 zhì yú zhī hòu me …… wǒ men yǐ jīng kě yǐ kàn zuò shì liǎng gè bù tóng de rén le 。” hé gān xiān zài yī páng jiě shì zhe 。
“此我，并非之前的那个我。一分而二之前的记忆、情感，完全跟我相同。至于之后么……我们已经可以看作是两个不同的人了。”何干仙在一旁解释着。
Together, Bai Shu Yue and the Boundless Wall set out into the vast expanse of space. They traveled through the voids, searching for a worthy opponent.
“ dào dé chū fēn ， wǒ men dǐ yùn xū yào chóng xīn jī zǎn 。 huò xǔ ， wǒ men néng gòu yǒu jī huì zì xíng zhèng dào 。”
“道德初分，我们底蕴需要重新积攒。或许，我们能够有机会自行证道。”
"Let's find some trueimmortal," she said, her voice filled with determination. "We can use them as our test subjects."
“ dàn ruò bù xíng ， kǒng hái shì yào jiè dào yǒu yī bì zhī lì 。”
“但若不行，恐还是要借道友一臂之力。”
The Boundless Wall nodded in agreement. Together, they began their journey, determined to uncover the secrets of True Self and master its power.
hé gān yǔ wú miàn ， cǐ kè réng jiù xīn yì xiāng tōng shì dé ， xiān hòu shuō dào 。
何干与无面，此刻仍旧心意相通似得，先后说道。
---
lǐ fán mǎn kǒu yīng xià ：“ hǎo shuō 。 wǒ yě shí fēn xī wàng ， cǐ duàn shān hǎi nèi ， zài duō chū yī zūn shèng zhě 。”
李凡满口应下：“好说。我也十分希望，此段山海内，再多出一尊圣者。”
As they traveled through the voids, Bai Shu Yue felt a sense of peace wash over her. The memories of her past life no longer weighed her down; instead, they fueled her determination.
“ rì hòu yǒu xū yào shí ， hái píng cǐ wù lián xì wǒ 。”
“日后有需要时，还凭此物联系我。”
"Truly," she thought, "I am ready for whatever lies ahead."
shuō bà ， lǐ fán dàn chū liǎng dào guāng huá ， zhí bēn èr xiān 。
说罢，李凡弹出两道光华，直奔二仙。
With renewed strength and purpose, Bai Shu Yue continued on her journey, determined to unlock the secrets of True Self and master its power.
Between two vast voids, the darkness seemed to stretch endlessly. A faint sense of unease stirred within him as he gazed into the abyss.
---
The path ahead was shrouded in a dense fog, and the air around him grew increasingly heavy with an indescribable pressure. He could feel it pressing down on his spirit, making every breath more labored. The void seemed to be alive, pulsating with an ancient and formidable presence.
"Tru!" he whispered, his voice barely audible over the cacophony of his own heartbeat.
He had come this far, through countless lifetimes, to uncover the secrets of True Self. But now, as the moment approached, he felt a strange reluctance, a fear that gnawed at him from within.
---
The white fog began to swirl and twist, forming a shapeless mass that seemed to be reaching out towards him. He could feel its presence, heavy and oppressive, pressing down on his spirit.
"Tru!" he shouted again, his voice echoing through the void. "Please, don't let this happen!"
But the white fog only seemed to grow more intense, its edges sharpening into a menacing form. The pressure increased, and for a moment, he thought he could hear whispers, faint voices calling out from the depths of the void.
