“ ruò shì jiāng chuí diào dào yān kàn chéng yī cháng jué lì de huà ， wǒ děng shì shǒu chí yú gān zhī rén ， ér dào yān zé shì shuǐ xià de wèi zhī xiōng shòu 。 xiàn zài de qíng kuàng shì ， cóng shuǐ xià chuán lái de lì liàng tài dà ， jí yǒu kě néng lā gǎn bù chéng 、 fǎn bèi tuō rù shuǐ xià 。”
“若是将垂钓道湮看成一场角力的话，我等是手持鱼竿之人，而道湮则是水下的未知凶兽。现在的情况是，从水下传来的力量太大，极有可能拉杆不成、反被拖入水下。”
"If we must, let's see it for ourselves."
lái zì guāng wú xīng hǎi de wàn shèng ， shén qíng yán sù dào ：“ chāo tuō yí tuì 、 nǎi zhì qí tā xiān guān ， dōu shǔ zhè yú ěr de yī bù fèn 。 xún cháng bǎo wù ， wǒ men zì méi yǒu nà me kàn zhòng 。 dàn zhè chāo tuō yí tuì ……”
来自光吾星海的万胜，神情严肃道：“超脱遗蜕、乃至其他仙棺，都属这鱼饵的一部分。寻常宝物，我们自没有那么看重。但这超脱遗蜕……”
Moonlight was indifferent. Even if they failed, she should still be able to reincarnate.
wàn shèng cháng tàn yī shēng ：“ bù mán zhū wèi ， jù wǒ men de tuī cè ， piāo bó yú shān hǎi zhōng de chāo tuō yí tuì shù liàng ， yīng shì jí qí hǎn jiàn de 。 wǒ men néng dǎ lāo shàng lái yī jù ， yǐ jīng shì dé tiān zhī xìng 。 ruò shì cǐ cì jiāng qí fàng huí ， kǒng pà yǐ hòu zài méi yǒu jī huì yù dào xīn de le 。”
万胜长叹一声：“不瞒诸位，据我们的推测，漂泊于山海中的超脱遗蜕数量，应是极其罕见的。我们能打捞上来一具，已经是得天之幸。若是此次将其放回，恐怕以后再没有机会遇到新的了。”
After reaching a consensus, both parties quickly resumed contact. The cooperation between the two sides progressed rapidly.
yī xí yǔ bì ， shuò xīng hǎi fāng miàn yě xiàn rù le chén mò zhī zhōng 。
一席语毕，朔星海方面也陷入了沉默之中。
When the second delegation from Yuwu Star Sea arrived, their entourage was even larger. Instead of using a wooden boat as the tool for crossing, it was now a massive skeleton of a ferocious beast!
yì dì ér chǔ ， tā men pà shì yě wú fǎ zhè me qīng yì fàng qì 。 bié shuō tā men ， huò xǔ jiù lián dāng chū xiān jiè wán zhěng shí ， lì rèn xiān dì men ruò shì zhǎng kòng zhe zhè yàng de bǎo bèi ， yě dìng bú huì qīng yì sā shǒu 。
易地而处，他们怕是也无法这么轻易放弃。别说他们，或许就连当初仙界完整时，历任仙帝们若是掌控着这样的宝贝，也定不会轻易撒手。
Though they couldn't see what the creature looked like in life, its flesh and blood had almost been completely eroded, leaving only two-thirds as white bones.
“ bú dào shān qióng shuǐ jìn shí ， wǒ men dìng bú huì fàng qì de 。 zhè xiē nián ， wǒ men yì zhí zài jī jí xún zhǎo duì cè 。 ér yuǎn dù lái cǐ ， yāo qǐng zhū wèi hé zuò ， biàn shì zhòng yào yī huán 。”
“不到山穷水尽时，我们定不会放弃的。这些年，我们一直在积极寻找对策。而远渡来此，邀请诸位合作，便是重要一环。”
But the remaining one-third of the flesh could still serve as temporary shelter against the ravages of the Void Abyss.
líng tīng xǔ jiǔ de bái shù yuè cǐ kè zhōng yú chū shēng ：“ dào yǒu jiù bú yào mài guān zi le ， xiáng xì shuō shuō ba 。”
聆听许久的白漱月此刻终于出声：“道友就不要卖关子了，详细说说吧。”
Upon arrival, 100 True Immortals and four nameless beings emerged in succession.
“ hǎo ， wǒ biàn cháng huà duǎn shuō le 。 dào yān suǒ dìng de mù biāo ， shì wǒ men cháng jiǔ yǐ lái ， bù tíng tóu rù dào shān hǎi zhī zhōng de yú ěr 。 xiān guān ， chāo tuō yí tuì ， jù shǔ yú yú ěr zhōng de yī bù fèn 。”
“好，我便长话短说了。道湮锁定的目标，是我们长久以来，不停投入到山海之中的鱼饵。仙棺，超脱遗蜕，俱属于鱼饵中的一部分。”
The sheer scale of this formation immediately put pressure on the Yu Star Sea side. Their spirits tensed instantly.
“ wǒ men xiàn zài suī bù yuàn jiāng qí shě qì ， dàn què kě zì jǐ xiāo miè yī bù fèn yú ěr 。 shī qù le suǒ dìng mù biāo ， dào yān jiàng lín de yā lì ， yě huì xiāng yìng jiǎn ruò jǐ fēn 。”
“我们现在虽不愿将其舍弃，但却可自己消灭一部分鱼饵。失去了锁定目标，道湮降临的压力，也会相应减弱几分。”
If not for their leader's words showing no malice, they would have thought that Yuwu Star Sea had come to attack them directly.
“ wǒ men jīng guò cè suàn ， zhǐ xū jiāng xiàn yǒu de yú ěr shù liàng xuē jiǎn zhì sān fēn zhī yī ， biàn kě ān rán wú yàng le 。”
“我们经过测算，只需将现有的鱼饵数量削减至三分之一，便可安然无恙了。”
"Precaution is never amiss," Moonlight reminded.
wàn shèng zhè huà shuō de dǎo shì shí fēn qīng chǔ ， shuò xīng hǎi zhòng rén yǐ rán míng bái guò lái ：“ nǐ men suǒ wèi de hé zuò ， jiù shì yào jiè zhù dào wǎng de lì liàng 、 zhū miè yú ěr ？ néng gòu yòng lái dàng zuò yú ěr 、 néng gòu piāo yú dào yān zhōng de ， kǒng pà dōu bú shì shén me yì yǔ zhī wù ba ？”
万胜这话说的倒是十分清楚，朔星海众人已然明白过来：“你们所谓的合作，就是要借助道网的力量、诛灭鱼饵？能够用来当做鱼饵、能够飘于道湮中的，恐怕都不是什么易与之物吧？”
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was already activated, and the Dao Web was running at full power, in its highest state of readiness.
“ bù jǐn jǐn shì jiè zhù nǐ men de lì liàng 。 shì shí shàng ， wǒ men guāng wú xīng hǎi běn shēn de shí lì ， shì zú yǐ yí gè gè jiǎn chū duō yú ěr liào de 。 gèng zhòng yào de ， shì jiè cǐ chù bǎo dì yī yòng 。” wàn shèng zhǐ zhe zhōu wéi ， shēng jī bó bó de shuò xīng hǎi shuō dào 。
“不仅仅是借助你们的力量。事实上，我们光吾星海本身的实力，是足以一个个剪出多余饵料的。更重要的，是借此处宝地一用。”万胜指着周围，生机勃勃的朔星海说道。
Yu Star Sea and Yuwu Star Sea began their first formal negotiations.
“ xiān guān zhī zhōng fēng suǒ zhe de ， suī jué dà duō shù dōu shēng jī jǐn shī 。 dàn jí biàn shì yí tuì ， tā men de shí lì yě bìng fēi xún cháng wú míng suǒ néng bǐ nǐ de 。 zhēng dòu qǐ lái ， shì bì huì duì xià jiè xīng hǎi běn shēn de jié gòu zào chéng pò huài 。 yī cì liǎng cì ， dào hái néng miǎn qiǎng zhī chēng 。 ruò shì cì shù duō le ……”
“仙棺之中封锁着的，虽绝大多数都生机尽失。但即便是遗蜕，它们的实力也并非寻常无名所能比拟的。争斗起来，势必会对下界星海本身的结构造成破坏。一次两次，倒还能勉强支撑。若是次数多了……”
Even though they had decided to cooperate, it wasn't easy for them to agree immediately. At least, the issue of compensation still needed further discussion.
wàn shèng yǒu xiē wú nài dào ：“ gù ér ， xū yào fēn sàn zuò zhàn 。 shuò xīng hǎi yǒu dào wǎng zuò wéi zhī chēng ， jiù suàn zāo dào huǐ huài ， huī fù qǐ lái yě bǐ xún cháng xīng hǎi yào kuài xǔ duō 。 nǎi shì zuì wèi hé shì de zuò zhàn zhī suǒ 。”
万胜有些无奈道：“故而，需要分散作战。朔星海有道网作为支撑，就算遭到毁坏，恢复起来也比寻常星海要快许多。乃是最为合适的作战之所。”
After witnessing the generosity of Yuwu Star Sea, the people from Yu Star Sea chose to increase their offer.
“ ér wǒ men yě jué bú huì kuī dài zhū wèi 。 bù jǐn jǐn shì chāo tuō yí tuì ， zhè xiē nián wǒ men dǎ lāo shàng lái de ， shì dào jiàn dào dāo zhè bān de yì bǎo ， wǒ men yě kě tí gōng wǔ jiàn ， yǐ zuò bào chóu 。” xiáng xì jiǎng wán hé zuò shì yí hòu ， wàn shèng gèng xǔ yǐ zhòng shǎng 。
“而我们也绝不会亏待诸位。不仅仅是超脱遗蜕，这些年我们打捞上来的，似道剑道刀这般的异宝，我们也可提供五件，以作报酬。”详细讲完合作事宜后，万胜更许以重赏。
Initially thinking that their appetite was already large enough, everyone was taken aback when Moonlight spoke up.
jí biàn bào chóu dàng zhēn yòu rén ， shuò xīng hǎi qún xiān yě méi yǒu shī le zhì ， dāng chǎng zhí jiē dā yìng 。
即便报酬当真诱人，朔星海群仙也没有失了智，当场直接答应。
"Those are mere trifles. I believe it doesn't matter whether you gain or lose a few Dao Treasures. As long as you can survive this calamity, you will still be able to catch more treasures from the Void Abyss."
bái shù yuè dào ：“ shì guān zhòng dà ， wǒ men xū yào shèn zhòng shāng yì xià ， zài gěi dá fù 。”
白漱月道：“事关重大，我们需要慎重商议下，再给答复。”
"We of Yu Star Sea need the method for fishing in the Void Abyss!"
“ qiáo shǒu yǐ pàn ！” wàn shèng diǎn le diǎn tóu ， jià shǐ zhe mù chuán ， piāo yáo héng dù 、 xiāo shī zài zhòng rén de shì yě zhōng 。
“翘首以盼！”万胜点了点头，驾驶着木船，飘摇横渡、消失在众人的视野中。
These words caused the leader of Yuwu Star Sea, Yuanzhu, to change his expression slightly.
“ héng dù dào yān ， zhè děng běn shì ， dàng zhēn shì lìng rén xiàn mù a 。 ruò shì wǒ men yě zhǎng wò le cǐ zhǒng shén tōng ， yě bù zhì yú bèi kùn zài shuò xīng yī yú zhī dì le 。” shuò xīng hǎi qún xiān shén qíng gè yì 。
“横渡道湮，这等本事，当真是令人羡慕啊。若是我们也掌握了此种神通，也不至于被困在朔星一隅之地了。”朔星海群仙神情各异。
Just as he was about to refuse, Moonlight directly showed the might of the Dao Web.
jìng jiè dá dào wú míng ， shuō duì chāo tuō méi yǒu xiàng wǎng ， nà jué duì shì jiǎ huà 。
境界达到无名，说对超脱没有向往，那绝对是假话。
"Thanks to this cooperation, we are taking unnecessary risks. We can simply observe from the sidelines using the Dao Web as a vessel..."
bái shù yuè yǐ rán kàn chū le zhòng xiān de xīn dòng 。
白漱月已然看出了众仙的心动。
Yuanzhu carefully examined the Dao Web and saw a hint of surprise in his eyes. However, he did not give in, sneering coldly: "This calamity is different from before. It might be even more severe than when the Celestial Realm was destroyed. I wonder where your confidence comes from?"
lěng jìng de tí xǐng dào ：“ yī wǒ kàn ， guāng wú xīng hǎi suǒ shuō ， huò xǔ hái yǒu bù shí zhī chù 。 dāng rán ， wǒ men xiàn zài hái méi yǒu dā yìng hé zuò ， tā men yǒu suǒ yǐn mán 、 yě shǔ zhèng cháng 。 wǒ suǒ yōu lǜ de ， shì shuò xīng gēn guāng wú ， shuāng fāng shí lì chā jù tài dà 。 yǐ wǎng dào yān gé jué yě jiù bà le ， ruò shì xí guàn xìng de hù tōng ……”
冷静的提醒道：“依我看，光吾星海所说，或许还有不实之处。当然，我们现在还没有答应合作，他们有所隐瞒、也属正常。我所忧虑的，是朔星跟光吾，双方实力差距太大。以往道湮隔绝也就罢了，若是习惯性的互通……”
"Even if the Void Abyss's power matches that of the past, we can still safely pass through this trial," Moonlight stated firmly.
“ kāi mén yī dào 、 yǐn láng rù shì a 。”
“开门揖盗、引狼入室啊。”
The others from Yu Star Sea were surprised by her words.
cóng guāng wú xīng hǎi fāng miàn suí biàn jiù néng ná chū dào jiàn dào dāo zhè yàng de bǎo wù lái kàn ， tā men de shí lì wú yí shì yào yuǎn chāo shuò xīng hǎi zhè biān de 。
从光吾星海方面随便就能拿出道剑道刀这样的宝物来看，他们的实力无疑是要远超朔星海这边的。
When had the Dao Web become so powerful?
shēn kè rèn shí dào zhè yì diǎn de zhòng rén ， yě méi yǒu chū shēng fǎn bó 。
深刻认识到这一点的众人，也没有出声反驳。
"If you don't believe me, just watch."
“ gèng hé kuàng ， gēn xiān guān yí tuì jiāo zhàn ， yě shì wēi jī zhì jí 。 zài chǎng zhū wèi ， nán miǎn yǒu suǒ sǔn shāng 。”
“更何况，跟仙棺遗蜕交战，也是危机至极。在场诸位，难免有所损伤。”
Moonlight clapped her hands.
“ fǎn guò lái xiǎng ， tǎng ruò wǒ men jù jué hé zuò 。 suī shī qù le chù mō chāo tuō yí tuì de jī huì ， què yě guī bì le mò dà de fēng xiǎn 。 jí biàn dào yān pò jìn ， zhǐ yào wǒ men shuò xīng hǎi gè fāng jīng chéng xié lì ， wèi bì bù néng dǎ zào chū yī sōu héng dù dào yān de mù zhōu 。” bái shù yuè xiǎng dào shàng yī shì zuì hòu ， dào wǎng hé xīn qū yù zài miè shì dà jié zhōng xìng cún de chǎng miàn ， bù yóu rú cǐ shuō dào 。
“反过来想，倘若我们拒绝合作。虽失去了触摸超脱遗蜕的机会，却也规避了莫大的风险。即便道湮迫近，只要我们朔星海各方精诚协力，未必不能打造出一艘横渡道湮的木舟。”白漱月想到上一世最后，道网核心区域在灭世大劫中幸存的场面，不由如此说道。
In the darkness beyond Yu Star Sea, it seemed as if a true Void Abyss was approaching.
píng jiè shàng yī shì de jīng yàn jī lěi ， tā yǒu xìn xīn ， zài jié nàn dào lái qián ， jiāng zhěng tǐ dào wǎng zēng fú dào zú yǐ dǐ kàng nà děng chéng dù de dào yān shuǐ píng 。
凭借上一世的经验积累，她有信心，在劫难到来前，将整体道网增幅到足以抵抗那等程度的道湮水平。
Yuanzhu's expression changed suddenly, then he realized: "It is not the real Void Abyss. It is merely simulating the pressure that would be felt during its descent..."
suǒ yǐ ， bái shù yuè xīn lǐ dì ， shì bù yuàn cān hé guāng wú xīng hǎi zhī shì 。
所以，白漱月心里地，是不愿参合光吾星海之事。
The scene from the previous life of the Void Abyss reappeared. The Dao Web's center twisted and nearly collapsed as countless strings of Dao resonated.
nǎ pà yǒu chāo tuō yí tuì de yòu huò 。
哪怕有超脱遗蜕的诱惑。
However, with the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Great Way Presence Skill Group present, the Dao Web ultimately managed to withstand such terrifying pressure.
bù guò ， tā yě méi yǒu gǎo yī yán táng 。 ér shì xiáng xì fēn xī lì bì hòu ， ràng zhòng rén tóu piào jué yì 。
不过，她也没有搞一言堂。而是详细分析利弊后，让众人投票决议。
Moonlight did not water down the simulation; she had reduced the pressure that the Dao Web needed to bear.
zuì zhōng ， hái shì méi néng zǔ dǎng qún xiān nèi xīn de tān lán 。
最终，还是没能阻挡群仙内心的贪婪。
The reason this time the Dao Web could withstand it was due to the contribution of the Dao Sword and Dao Blade sent by Yuwu Star Sea earlier. Just one piece of extraordinary treasure could surpass the effect of several nameless beings.
jué dà duō shù ， xuǎn zé le tóng yì gēn guāng wú xīng hǎi hé zuò ， tóng dǐ dào yān 。
绝大多数，选择了同意跟光吾星海合作，同抵道湮。
With the support of the承道虚影 technique from Shouchou's legacy, Yu Star Sea's defense against the Void Abyss far surpassed that of Yuwu Star Sea.
“ yě bà ， jiàn shí jiàn shí yě hǎo 。”
“也罢，见识见识也好。”
Though they carried many extraordinary treasures, Yuwu Star Sea could only use their power individually and not as a coordinated effort to defend against the disaster.
bái shù yuè shì wú suǒ wèi de ， fǎn zhèng jiù suàn shī bài 、 tā yīng gāi hái néng chóng shēng 。
白漱月是无所谓的，反正就算失败、她应该还能重生。
"How about it?" Moonlight said calmly, ending her "performance."
yì jiàn tǒng yī hòu ， hěn kuài jiù zài cì gēn guāng wú xīng hǎi fāng miàn jiē chù 。
意见统一后，很快就再次跟光吾星海方面接触。
Yuanzhu, at the nameless realm, had sharp eyes. He noticed the differences between Yu Star Sea and his own side.
shuāng fāng de jiāo liú hé zuò jìn zhǎn ， hěn shì xùn sù 。
双方的交流合作进展，很是迅速。
"You want the method for fishing in the Void Abyss? That's fine."
guāng wú xīng hǎi dì èr cì pài rén qián lái shí ， zhèn zhàng gèng dà 。
光吾星海第二次派人前来时，阵仗更大。
He pretended to think for a moment before revealing: "But you need to exchange it with this承道 technique!"
héng dù de gōng jù ， bù zài shì yī sōu mù chuán 。
横渡的工具，不再是一艘木船。
Moonlight's expression turned cold.
ér shì yī jù shuò dà xiōng shòu de yí hái ！
而是一具硕大凶兽的遗骸！
"Absolutely not!"
kàn bù chū xiōng shòu shēng qián jù tǐ mú yàng ， qí shēn qū xuè ròu yě jī hū bèi qīn shí dài jìn ， sān fēn zhī èr chù ， jiē shì sēn sēn bái gǔ 。
看不出凶兽生前具体模样，其身躯血肉也几乎被侵蚀殆尽，三分之二处，皆是森森白骨。
"No more discussion. Out!"
dàn shèng xià de sān fēn zhī yī xuè ròu ， yě zú yǐ chōng dāng zàn shí dǐ yù dào yān de bì fēng suǒ 。
但剩下的三分之一血肉，也足以充当暂时抵御道湮的避风所。
Without further ado, she dismissed everyone from Yuwu Star Sea.
yì shòu hái gǔ dǐ dá hòu ， bǎi míng zhēn xiān gēn sì zūn wú míng ， yú guàn ér chū 。
异兽骸骨抵达后，百名真仙跟四尊无名，鱼贯而出。
The sudden change left both sides caught off guard. Chaos rushed in to try and mediate the situation.
rú cǐ páng dà de zhèn róng ， ràng shuò xīng hǎi fāng miàn dùn shí gǎn shòu dào le jù dà de yā lì ， jīng shén shùn jiān jǐn bēng 。
如此庞大的阵容，让朔星海方面顿时感受到了巨大的压力，精神瞬间紧绷。
Other immortals also expressed regret, trying to persuade them to reconsider their decision.
ruò bú shì duì fāng tán xiào jiān bìng wú è yì ， tā men jī hū dōu yǐ wéi guāng wú xīng hǎi cǐ cì qián lái ， shì zhí jiē lái gōng dǎ de le 。
若不是对方谈笑间并无恶意，他们几乎都以为光吾星海此次前来，是直接来攻打的了。
Moonlight merely smiled: "Who said I was really going to refuse? Just that I want a bit more benefit. Rest assured, they will definitely come back."
“ fáng rén zhī xīn bù kě wú 。” bái shù yuè dīng zhǔ dào 。
“防人之心不可无。”白漱月叮嘱道。
Moonlight's acting skills even fooled her own people.
wàn xiān zhèn yǐ jīng kāi qǐ ， dào wǎng yǐ zuì dà gōng lǜ yùn zhuàn ， chù zài zuì gāo bèi zhàn zhuàng tài 。
万仙阵已经开启，道网以最大功率运转，处在最高备战状态。
After sighing in relief, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the depth of women's minds.
shuò xīng hǎi gēn guāng wú xīng hǎi kāi shǐ le dì yī cì de zhèng shì qià tán 。
朔星海跟光吾星海开始了第一次的正式洽谈。
Meanwhile, as expected, Yuwu Star Sea did not give up on cooperation. They contacted them more frequently and lowered their conditions repeatedly.
suī yǐ jīng jué yì yào hé zuò ， dàn chǎng miàn shàng ， zì shì bù kě néng jiù zhí jiē qīng yì dā yìng de 。 zuì qǐ mǎ ， bào chóu de shì ， hái yào zài zǐ xì shāng liáng shāng liáng 。
虽已经决议要合作，但场面上，自是不可能就直接轻易答应的。最起码，报酬的事，还要再仔细商量商量。
For Yuwu Star Sea, the承道虚影 technique was too significant to abandon.
jiàn shí guò guāng wú xīng hǎi de kuò chuò hòu ， shuò xīng hǎi zhòng rén guǒ duàn xuǎn zé jiā jià 。
见识过光吾星海的阔绰后，朔星海众人果断选择加价。
If they could master this divine art...
yuán běn yǐ wéi tā men de wèi kǒu yǐ jīng gòu dà le ， dàn dāng bái shù yuè kāi kǒu ， zhòng rén yī jiù bù jīn xià le yī tiào 。
原本以为他们的胃口已经够大了，但当白漱月开口，众人依旧不禁吓了一跳。
With their accumulated strength over the years, they would be able to build a high wall and ignore the threat of the Void Abyss's invasion!
“ zhè xiē dōu shì xì zhī mò jié 。 wǒ xiǎng ， duō yī jiàn 、 shǎo yī jiàn xiān bǎo ， duì nǐ men ér yán ， qí shí gēn běn shì wú suǒ wèi zhī shì 。 zhǐ yào néng chēng guò cǐ cì jié nàn ， nǐ men biàn yòu néng yuán yuán bù duàn de cóng dào yān zhōng chuí diào shàng bǎo wù 。”
“这些都是细枝末节。我想，多一件、少一件仙宝，对你们而言，其实根本是无所谓之事。只要能撑过此次劫难，你们便又能源源不断的从道湮中垂钓上宝物。”
In fact, if not for Moonlight's demonstration during the previous performance showing the Dao Web's pressure-bearing capacity, and her fear that the承道虚影 technique might disappear in case of a full-scale battle between them, Yuwu Star Sea would have sent all their elite forces to attack.
“ wǒ men shuò xīng hǎi ， xū yào nà chuí diào dào yān zhī fǎ ！”
“我们朔星海，需要那垂钓道湮之法！”
Now, although they had to pay a higher price, it was still acceptable.
cǐ yán yī chū ， guāng wú xīng hǎi cǐ cì lǐng tóu de 【 yuán shū 】， shén qíng wēi biàn 。
此言一出，光吾星海此次领头的【元枢】，神情微变。
After several rounds of negotiations, both sides finally reached an agreement.
zhèng yù kāi kǒu jù jué ， bái shù yuè què zhí jiē wèi qí zhǎn xiàn le dào wǎng qiáng shèng zhī xiàng 。
正欲开口拒绝，白漱月却直接为其展现了道网强盛之象。
Yuwu Star Sea needed to provide thirteen fishing Dao Treasures with power comparable to the Dao Sword and Dao Blade, not counting the opportunity to observe the remnants of the Void Abyss after their success.
tān pái dào ：“ wǒ men zhè cì hé zuò ， kě shì mào le shí zú de 、 méi yǒu bì yào de fēng xiǎn 。 dào wǎng zuò zhōu ， wǒ men wán quán kě yǐ zuò bì shàng guān ……”
摊牌道：“我们这次合作，可是冒了十足的、没有必要的风险。道网作舟，我们完全可以作壁上观……”
In return, Yu Star Sea would help eliminate the fishing Dao Treasures and offer the Dao Web area as a battlefield.
yuán shū zǐ xì dǎ liàng le yī fān dào wǎng ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jīng chà 。 dàn zuǐ shàng què méi yǒu ràng bù ， lěng xiào dào ：“ cǐ fān dào yān jié nàn ， bù tóng yǐ wǎng 。 wèi bì huì ruò yú dāng nián pò miè xiān jiè nà chǎng 。 zhēn bù zhī ， nǐ de xìn xīn jiū jìng cóng hé ér lái ？”
元枢仔细打量了一番道网，眼中闪过一丝惊诧。但嘴上却没有让步，冷笑道：“此番道湮劫难，不同以往。未必会弱于当年破灭仙界那场。真不知，你的信心究竟从何而来？”
And they also required the承道虚影 technique.
“ jí biàn dào yān wēi shì yǔ dāng nián tóng ， wǒ men yě néng ān rán dù cǐ jié nàn 。” bái shù yuè zhǎn dīng jié tiě de shuō dào 。
“即便道湮威势与当年同，我们也能安然渡此劫难。”白漱月斩钉截铁的说道。
The outcome was satisfactory for both sides.
shuò xīng hǎi qí yú rén děng ， xīn zhōng jiē àn zì chà yì 。
朔星海其余人等，心中皆暗自诧异。
"We must act quickly. We've observed that the pressure from the Void Abyss is increasing."
dào wǎng shén me shí hòu ， zhè me lì hài le 。
道网什么时候，这么厉害了。
"The first batch of Dao Treasures will be delivered in three years. Please prepare. At that time, we will send fifty True Immortals and two nameless beings to assist."
“ dào yǒu ruò shì bù xìn ， qiě kàn 。”
“道友若是不信，且看。”
Moonlight nodded in agreement.
shuō zhe ， bái shù yuè pāi pāi shǒu 。
说着，白漱月拍拍手。
The delegation from Yuwu Star Sea hurriedly left. After scanning their many treasures with the Dao Web to ensure there were no hidden surveillance devices, Moonlight placed them inside the Dao Web using the承道虚影 technique.
shuò xīng hǎi wài ， hēi àn xū wú zhī zhōng ， shì yǒu zhēn zhēn dào yān ér lái 。
朔星海外，黑暗虚无之中，似有真真道湮而来。
In normal times, they could serve as pillars of support, and at any time, they could be withdrawn for use.
yuán shū dǒu rán sè biàn ， suí hòu fǎn yìng guò lái ：“ bú shì zhēn zhèng de dào yān 。 ér shì yòng dào wǎng zì shēn de lì liàng ， mó nǐ dào yān jiàng lín shí huì chéng shòu de yā lì ……”
元枢陡然色变，随后反应过来：“不是真正的道湮。而是用道网自身的力量，模拟道湮降临时会承受的压力……”
"This method truly has countless uses."
fǎng fú shàng yī shì dào yān jiàng lín chǎng miàn chóng xiàn ， dào wǎng zhōng yāng 、 wàn qiān dào xián niǔ qū ， jǐ jǐn bēng jiě 。
仿佛上一世道湮降临场面重现，道网中央、万千道弦扭曲，几尽崩解。
"Shouchou Public is indeed a peerless genius."
dàn suí zhe wàn xiān zhèn ， yǐ jí dà dào lín shēn gōng xiǎo zǔ de chū xiàn ， dào wǎng què shì zuì zhōng ān rán wú yàng de jiāng rú cǐ kě bù yā lì gěi chéng dān le xià lái 。
但随着万仙阵，以及大道临身功小组的出现，道网却是最终安然无恙的将如此可怖压力给承担了下来。
Not only did the people from Yu Star Sea marvel, but even Moonlight herself couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
bái shù yuè bìng méi yǒu zài mó nǐ zhōng fàng shuǐ ， xuē ruò le dào wǎng xū yào chéng shòu de yā lì shù zhí 。
白漱月并没有在模拟中放水，削弱了道网需要承受的压力数值。
After more than thirty lifetimes of reincarnation, Moonlight considered her own talents to be extremely strong.
zhī suǒ yǐ zhè cì dào wǎng néng gòu chéng shòu zhù ， guāng wú xīng hǎi cǐ qián sòng chū de dào jiàn dào dāo ， gōng bù kě méi 。
之所以这次道网能够承受住，光吾星海此前送出的道剑道刀，功不可没。
But compared to Shouchou Public, she was still inferior.
zhī cǐ yī jiàn yì bǎo ， biàn kě shèng guò liǎng sān zūn wú míng de chēng tiān xiào yòng 。
只此一件异宝，便可胜过两三尊无名的撑天效用。
Moonlight silently pondered: "Yuwu Star Sea is willing to make such a significant sacrifice. The value of this technique speaks for itself. When he passed it on to me, he didn't explicitly say whether it could be transmitted again."
yǒu lái zì shǒu qiū chuán chéng de 【 chéng dào xū yǐng 】 zhī fǎ ， zài dǐ yù dào yān fāng miàn ， shuò xīng hǎi de shuǐ píng yào yuǎn shèng guò guāng wú 。
有来自守丘传承的【承道虚影】之法，在抵御道湮方面，朔星海的水平要远胜过光吾。
"If I inform Yuwu Star Sea about this, perhaps they might punish me."
guāng wú xīng hǎi suī shēn xié zhū duō yì bǎo ， què zuì duō zhǐ fā huī bǎo wù běn shēn de wēi néng 。
光吾星海虽身携诸多异宝，却最多只发挥宝物本身的威能。
"However, now that we can no longer contact him through any means, maybe this is an opportunity to bring him back."
nán yǐ jiāng zhè xiē bǎo wù ， yòng lái dǐ yù dào yān zāi huò 。
难以将这些宝物，用来抵御道湮灾祸。
Even with the addition of ten or more fishing Dao Treasures, greatly enhancing the strength of the Dao Web, Moonlight did not relax her vigilance. She ordered each part of the Dao Web to intensify their cultivation.
“ rú hé ？” bái shù yuè dàn dàn dì shuō zhe ， jié shù le “ yǎn xì ”。
“如何？”白漱月淡淡地说着，结束了“演戏”。
In addition to preparing for the next batch of Dao Treasures in three years, she was also worried that Yuwu Star Sea might take advantage of the weakened state of the Dao Web after a major battle and launch an attack.
yuán shū wú míng jìng jiè ， yǎn lì zì shì bù sú 。 kàn chū le shuò xīng hǎi gēn zì jiā de bù tóng zhī chù 。
元枢无名境界，眼力自是不俗。看出了朔星海跟自家的不同之处。
Therefore, she needed to make additional preparations.
“ nǐ men xiǎng yào chuí diào dào yān zhī fǎ ， yě bú shì bù xíng 。”
“你们想要垂钓道湮之法，也不是不行。”
"Except for Fan'er, no one here is truly trustworthy," Moonlight silently warned herself.
tā jiǎ yì chén yín yī fān ， ér hòu tú qióng bǐ xiàn ：“ dàn què xū yào zhè chéng dào zhī fǎ ， yǐ zuò jiāo huàn ！”
他假意沉吟一番，而后图穷匕见：“但却需要这承道之法，以作交换！”
"Or perhaps it can be added?"
bái shù yuè shén qíng màn màn lěng le xià lái 。
白漱月神情慢慢冷了下来。
Moonlight looked at the Boundless Wall, which was quietly meditating in the black mountains and white waters below.
“ duàn rán bù kě ！”
“断然不可！”
Although the Boundless Wall could be a bit slippery, from their interactions so far, it seemed reliable overall.
“ wú xū zài tí ， sòng kè ！”
“无需再提，送客！”
"Hunger... Hunger."
jìng rán shì èr huà bù shuō ， zhí jiē jiāng guāng wú xīng hǎi zhòng rén gěi gǎn le chū qù 。
竟然是二话不说，直接将光吾星海众人给赶了出去。
"This is mine!"
zhè zhuǎn shùn jiān de biàn gù ， ràng shuāng fāng dōu yǒu xiē cuò shǒu bù jí 。
这转瞬间的变故，让双方都有些措手不及。
Just as Moonlight was pondering, the weak yet arrogant voice of the Boundless Wall came from beneath.
"If we must, let's see it for ourselves."
Moonlight was indifferent. Even if they failed, she should still be able to reincarnate.
After reaching a consensus, both parties quickly resumed contact. The cooperation between the two sides progressed rapidly.
When the second delegation from Yuwu Star Sea arrived, their entourage was even larger. Instead of using a wooden boat as the tool for crossing, it was now a massive skeleton of a ferocious beast!
Though they couldn't see what the creature looked like in life, its flesh and blood had almost been completely eroded, leaving only two-thirds as white bones.
But the remaining one-third of the flesh could still serve as temporary shelter against the ravages of the Void Abyss.
Upon arrival, 100 True Immortals and four nameless beings emerged in succession.
The sheer scale of this formation immediately put pressure on the Yu Star Sea side. Their spirits tensed instantly.
If not for their leader's words showing no malice, they would have thought that Yuwu Star Sea had come to attack them directly.
"Precaution is never amiss," Moonlight reminded.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was already activated, and the Dao Web was running at full power, in its highest state of readiness.
Yu Star Sea and Yuwu Star Sea began their first formal negotiations.
Even though they had decided to cooperate, it wasn't easy for them to agree immediately. At least, the issue of compensation still needed further discussion.
After witnessing the generosity of Yuwu Star Sea, the people from Yu Star Sea chose to increase their offer.
Initially thinking that their appetite was already large enough, everyone was taken aback when Moonlight spoke up.
"Those are mere trifles. I believe it doesn't matter whether you gain or lose a few Dao Treasures. As long as you can survive this calamity, you will still be able to catch more treasures from the Void Abyss."
"We of Yu Star Sea need the method for fishing in the Void Abyss!"
These words caused the leader of Yuwu Star Sea, Yuanzhu, to change his expression slightly.
Just as he was about to refuse, Moonlight directly showed the might of the Dao Web.
"Thanks to this cooperation, we are taking unnecessary risks. We can simply observe from the sidelines using the Dao Web as a vessel..."
Yuanzhu carefully examined the Dao Web and saw a hint of surprise in his eyes. However, he did not give in, sneering coldly: "This calamity is different from before. It might be even more severe than when the Celestial Realm was destroyed. I wonder where your confidence comes from?"
"Even if the Void Abyss's power matches that of the past, we can still safely pass through this trial," Moonlight stated firmly.
The others from Yu Star Sea were surprised by her words.
When had the Dao Web become so powerful?
"If you don't believe me, just watch."
Moonlight clapped her hands.
In the darkness beyond Yu Star Sea, it seemed as if a true Void Abyss was approaching.
Yuanzhu's expression changed suddenly, then he realized: "It is not the real Void Abyss. It is merely simulating the pressure that would be felt during its descent..."
The scene from the previous life of the Void Abyss reappeared. The Dao Web's center twisted and nearly collapsed as countless strings of Dao resonated.
However, with the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Great Way Presence Skill Group present, the Dao Web ultimately managed to withstand such terrifying pressure.
Moonlight did not water down the simulation; she had reduced the pressure that the Dao Web needed to bear.
The reason this time the Dao Web could withstand it was due to the contribution of the Dao Sword and Dao Blade sent by Yuwu Star Sea earlier. Just one piece of extraordinary treasure could surpass the effect of several nameless beings.
With the support of the承道虚影 technique from Shouchou's legacy, Yu Star Sea's defense against the Void Abyss far surpassed that of Yuwu Star Sea.
Though they carried many extraordinary treasures, Yuwu Star Sea could only use their power individually and not as a coordinated effort to defend against the disaster.
"How about it?" Moonlight said calmly, ending her "performance."
Yuanzhu, at the nameless realm, had sharp eyes. He noticed the differences between Yu Star Sea and his own side.
"You want the method for fishing in the Void Abyss? That's fine."
He pretended to think for a moment before revealing: "But you need to exchange it with this承道 technique!"
Moonlight's expression turned cold.
"Absolutely not!"
"No more discussion. Out!"
Without further ado, she dismissed everyone from Yuwu Star Sea.
The sudden change left both sides caught off guard. Chaos rushed in to try and mediate the situation.
Other immortals also expressed regret, trying to persuade them to reconsider their decision.
Moonlight merely smiled: "Who said I was really going to refuse? Just that I want a bit more benefit. Rest assured, they will definitely come back."
Moonlight's acting skills even fooled her own people.
After sighing in relief, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the depth of women's minds.
Meanwhile, as expected, Yuwu Star Sea did not give up on cooperation. They contacted them more frequently and lowered their conditions repeatedly.
For Yuwu Star Sea, the承道虚影 technique was too significant to abandon.
If they could master this divine art...
With their accumulated strength over the years, they would be able to build a high wall and ignore the threat of the Void Abyss's invasion!
In fact, if not for Moonlight's demonstration during the previous performance showing the Dao Web's pressure-bearing capacity, and her fear that the承道虚影 technique might disappear in case of a full-scale battle between them, Yuwu Star Sea would have sent all their elite forces to attack.
Now, although they had to pay a higher price, it was still acceptable.
After several rounds of negotiations, both sides finally reached an agreement.
Yuwu Star Sea needed to provide thirteen fishing Dao Treasures with power comparable to the Dao Sword and Dao Blade, not counting the opportunity to observe the remnants of the Void Abyss after their success.
In return, Yu Star Sea would help eliminate the fishing Dao Treasures and offer the Dao Web area as a battlefield.
And they also required the承道虚影 technique.
The outcome was satisfactory for both sides.
"We must act quickly. We've observed that the pressure from the Void Abyss is increasing."
"The first batch of Dao Treasures will be delivered in three years. Please prepare. At that time, we will send fifty True Immortals and two nameless beings to assist."
Moonlight nodded in agreement.
The delegation from Yuwu Star Sea hurriedly left. After scanning their many treasures with the Dao Web to ensure there were no hidden surveillance devices, Moonlight placed them inside the Dao Web using the承道虚影 technique.
In normal times, they could serve as pillars of support, and at any time, they could be withdrawn for use.
"This method truly has countless uses."
"Shouchou Public is indeed a peerless genius."
Not only did the people from Yu Star Sea marvel, but even Moonlight herself couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
After more than thirty lifetimes of reincarnation, Moonlight considered her own talents to be extremely strong.
But compared to Shouchou Public, she was still inferior.
Moonlight silently pondered: "Yuwu Star Sea is willing to make such a significant sacrifice. The value of this technique speaks for itself. When he passed it on to me, he didn't explicitly say whether it could be transmitted again."
