“ dì èr gè wèn tí 。 shēn chù shēng miè zhī jiè zhōng ， wǒ men yòu rú hé gǒu huó jiān chí zhì shān hǎi zhī mò ne ？”
“第二个问题。身处生灭之界中，我们又如何苟活坚持至山海之末呢？”
"Second True, the path to becoming a Sage of the Sea and Mountains is far more challenging than I imagined."
“ gé duàn shān hǎi de yǒng jì xū jiè ， suī bù néng gēn shān hǎi zhēn zhèng fù miè shí de dà kǒng bù xiāng bǐ 。 què yě bú shì xún cháng rén suǒ néng dǐ dǎng de 。 wǒ jí biàn chéng shèng ， yě zhǐ néng hù dé zì shēn 。 wú fǎ bǎo nǐ men zhōu quán 。” lǐ fán zhòu méi wèn dào 。
“隔断山海的永寂虚界，虽不能跟山海真正覆灭时的大恐怖相比。却也不是寻常人所能抵挡的。我即便成圣，也只能护得自身。无法保你们周全。”李凡皱眉问道。
Standing in the void, Li Fan let out a long sigh filled with沧桑. The time required for this enlightenment was hundreds of times longer than all his past lifetimes combined.
qiū xīn huì gēn qí yú zūn zhě duì shì yī yǎn ， xiào le xiào ：“ zhè jiù wú xū láo fán dào yǒu le 。 nì liú héng dù ， wú děng dí què wú néng wéi lì 。 dàn ruò shì shùn shì ér xià ， jiān chí qián wǎng shān hǎi zhī mò de huà ……”
丘心慧跟其余尊者对视一眼，笑了笑：“这就无需劳烦道友了。逆流横渡，吾等的确无能为力。但若是顺势而下，坚持前往山海之末的话……”
Fortunately, it was just pure, monotonous contemplation without any distractions. And the True panel occasionally passing by reminded him of his true identity.
“ píng wǒ men zhè xiē nián de jī lěi ， yīng gāi hái shì miǎn qiǎng néng zuò dào de 。”
“凭我们这些年的积累，应该还是勉强能做到的。”
"Today is the day I become a Sage."
qiū xīn huì suí jí xiáng xì xiàng lǐ fán jiě shì qǐ jù tǐ de fāng fǎ qǐ lái 。
丘心慧随即详细向李凡解释起具体的方法起来。
His expression solemn, he softly recited.
“【 shān hǎi mò shèng 】 qiū xīn huì ， suī zuì zhōng bàn suí zhe shān hǎi de fù miè ér yī tóng xiāo wáng 。 dàn zài jié jú fā shēng zhī qián de shān hǎi zhōng ， tā què shì réng rán cún zài de 。”
“【山海末圣】丘心慧，虽最终伴随着山海的覆灭而一同消亡。但在结局发生之前的山海中，他却是仍然存在的。”
Around him, the other Eternals of the Sea and Mountains silently observed and protected.
“ bù zhī wǒ zhè me shuō ， nǐ shì fǒu néng gòu lǐ jiě ？”
“不知我这么说，你是否能够理解？”
"The manifestation of enlightenment is too great to hide."
lǐ fán zì rán diǎn tóu ：“ zhè jiù gēn ， zhěng duàn shān hǎi zhù dìng huì zǒu xiàng pò miè de jié jú ， dàn cǐ kè wǒ men shēn chù shān hǎi yī jiù fán shèng yí gè dào lǐ 。”
李凡自然点头：“这就跟，整段山海注定会走向破灭的结局，但此刻我们身处山海依旧繁盛一个道理。”
"So, the moment we achieve Sagehood will be when we return through the void."
qiū xīn huì jiē zhe shuō dào ：“【 shān hǎi mò shèng 】 de cún zài ， jiù xiàng shì chù lì yú hēi àn zhōng de dēng tǎ 。 yǐn yǐn diǎn liàng yǒng jì xū jiè zhōng qián xíng fāng xiàng 。 ér píng jiè zhe ， wǒ gēn tā zhī qián de lián xì ， ruò shì dòng yòng mì fǎ 。 biàn kě yǐ qǐng kè jiān ， kuà yuè qiān shān wàn shuǐ ， shèn zhì héng dù shù duàn bèi zǔ gé shān hǎi ér huí guī 。”
丘心慧接着说道：“【山海末圣】的存在，就像是矗立于黑暗中的灯塔。隐隐点亮永寂虚界中前行方向。而凭借着，我跟他之前的联系，若是动用秘法。便可以顷刻间，跨越千山万水，甚至横渡数段被阻隔山海而回归。”
Li Fan instructed as he stepped forward.
“ zhè huí guī guò chéng ， yí dàn kāi shǐ ， jiù wú fǎ tíng xià 。 zhōng tú yě wú fǎ zài tú jìng shān hǎi dòu liú 。 dàn yuán běn jiù yǒu wǔ chéng de bǎ wò ， néng gòu shùn lì dǐ dá shān hǎi zhī mò 。 ruò shì zài yǒu nǐ de zhī chí ……”
“这回归过程，一旦开始，就无法停下。中途也无法在途径山海逗留。但原本就有五成的把握，能够顺利抵达山海之末。若是再有你的支持……”
"Return to the true path."
“ chéng gōng kě néng ， gèng zài qī chéng yǐ shàng ！”
“成功可能，更在七成以上！”
As he silently repeated this in his heart, the True panel's four words "First Xuan Pin" shone with unprecedented brilliance.
“ kào de shì fēn shēn huí guī běn tǐ nà shùn jiān de mò cè zhī lì me ？” lǐ fán zì jǐ jiù shì wán nòng fēn shēn zhī shù de háng jia 。 fēn shēn huí guī běn tǐ nà shùn jiān bèng fā de lì liàng ， dí què kě zuò wén zhāng 。 dàn jǐn jǐn rú cǐ ， jiù xiǎng fēi dù yǒng jì xū jiè ， pà shì yuǎn yuǎn bù gòu ！
“靠的是分身回归本体那瞬间的莫测之力么？”李凡自己就是玩弄分身之术的行家。分身回归本体那瞬间迸发的力量，的确可做文章。但仅仅如此，就想飞渡永寂虚界，怕是远远不够！
Its light was so dazzling that it almost dimmed all other characters on the screen.
dàn qiū xīn huì yòu yī fù suǒ yán fēi xū de yàng zi 。
但丘心慧又一副所言非虚的样子。
Li Fan seemed truly embodying the Master of Xuan Pin, wielding this sea and mountain path.
lǐ fán sī cǔn piàn kè ， xīn zhōng yī dòng ：“ xiǎng lái ， zhè huí guī guò chéng ， nà wèi shān hǎi xíng zhě yě cóng zhōng chū le bù shǎo lì 。”
李凡思忖片刻，心中一动：“想来，这回归过程，那位山海行者也从中出了不少力。”
Just like a commoner ascending to immortality, Li Fan's perception of the Sea and Mountains gradually changed.
bái fà qīng nián wēi wēi diǎn tóu ：“ zhèng shì rú cǐ 。 ruò méi yǒu tā xíng zǒu héng dù suǒ liú jiǎo yìn ， zòng shǐ gēn běn zūn lián xì zài zěn me mì qiè ， xiǎng yào shùn lì héng dù 、 yě shì xiōng xiǎn yì cháng ， shí sǐ wú shēng 。”
白发青年微微点头：“正是如此。若没有他行走横渡所留脚印，纵使跟本尊联系再怎么密切，想要顺利横渡、也是凶险异常，十死无生。”
Although still boundless, the mountains could be climbed and the seas crossed. He stood atop peaks and floated on the ocean surface.
cāi cè dé dào yìn zhèng ， lǐ fán yǒu xiē gǎn tàn dào ：“ zhè wèi shān hǎi xíng zhě ， suī bú shì shèng zhě zhī jìng 。 rán qí xíng qí shì ， bù zài shèng zhě zhī xià le ！”
猜测得到印证，李凡有些感叹道：“这位山海行者，虽不是圣者之境。然其行其事，不在圣者之下了！”
His mindset and vision were different.
lǐ fán yí dù rèn wéi shān hǎi xíng zhě jiù shì sūn piāo miǎo 。
李凡一度认为山海行者就是孙缥缈。
The black Daoian mists that seemed to devour everything in the Sea and Mountains also began to change.
bù guò cóng qiū xīn huì suǒ miáo huì de qí róng mào lái kàn ， yòu gēn lǐ fán céng jīng kuī jiàn de sūn piāo miǎo xíng xiàng duì bù shàng 。
不过从丘心慧所描绘的其容貌来看，又跟李凡曾经窥见的孙缥缈形象对不上。
"They are still like dark shadows, terrifying to behold. But if one fights for survival..."
“ huò xǔ ， sūn piāo miǎo yě zhǐ shì gēn tóng jié wǔ zūn yī yàng ， dé le shān hǎi xíng zhě kuì zèng yě shuō bù dìng 。”
“或许，孙缥缈也只是跟同劫五尊一样，得了山海行者馈赠也说不定。”
"There might be a chance of survival."
“ bì jìng àn zhào qiū xīn huì de shuō fǎ ， shān hǎi xíng zhě měi chéng gōng héng dù yī cì ， dōu xū yào tíng liú hěn zhǎng yī duàn shí jiān 、 màn màn huī fù xiū wèi 。 zhè qī jiān zú jì biàn bù shān hǎi ， yě shì yīng yǒu zhī lǐ 。”
“毕竟按照丘心慧的说法，山海行者每成功横渡一次，都需要停留很长一段时间、慢慢恢复修为。这期间足迹遍布山海，也是应有之理。”
Li Fan understood.
lǐ fán zhèng zài sī cǔn de shí hòu ， qiū xīn huì zé shì jì xù jiě shì zhe tā men de jì huà 。
李凡正在思忖的时候，丘心慧则是继续解释着他们的计划。
The path to Sagehood had just begun.
“ yí dàn shùn lì dǐ dá shān hǎi zhī mò ， wǒ biàn huì huí guī běn tǐ 。 píng kōng dé dào zhè xiē nián jì yì ， yǐ jí yī zhěng gè shēng miè zhī jiè de zhī yuán 。 duì zuì hòu mìng yùn ， shuō bù dìng néng qǐ guān jiàn de niǔ zhuǎn zuò yòng 。”
“一旦顺利抵达山海之末，我便会回归本体。凭空得到这些年记忆，以及一整个生灭之界的支援。对最后命运，说不定能起关键的扭转作用。”
With his body aligned with the Sea and Mountains, Li Fan felt enveloped by some strange aura.
lǐ fán zhè shí hòu ， yě màn màn fǎn yìng guò lái 。
李凡这时候，也慢慢反应过来。
Faint images flashed before his eyes, seemingly originating from the oldest memories of the Sea and Mountains, even more ancient than the Sea and Mountains themselves.
miàn lù jīng è zhī sè ：“ rú cǐ shuō lái ， zhěng duàn shān hǎi ， cóng shān hǎi zhī chū 、 dào shān hǎi zhī mò ， shì nǐ zhè yàng de kōng xiǎng gòu zhù ， kǒng pà bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu yī rén 。”
面露惊愕之色：“如此说来，整段山海，从山海之初、到山海之末，似你这样的空想构筑，恐怕并非只有一人。”
Though the images were indistinct, Li Fan could sense the Sea and Mountains' reverence and greed.
qiū xīn huì zé shì zǎo yǐ jīng jiē shòu le zì jǐ de sù mìng bān ， sǎ tuō yī xiào 。
丘心慧则是早已经接受了自己的宿命般，洒脱一笑。
"Divinity."
“ shān hǎi jiù shì zhě yǒu èr 。 qí yī ， wú shù shèng zhě ， yú bù tóng shí jiān duàn shān hǎi ， xīng huǒ yǐ jì 、 qián wǎng shān hǎi zhī chū ， lù lì tóng xīn ， yǐ zǔ mò shì 。”
“山海救世者有二。其一，无数圣者，于不同时间段山海，星火以继、前往山海之初，勠力同心，以阻末世。”
"The source of all power in the Sea and Mountains." Li Fan suddenly understood.
“ qí èr ， biàn shì shān hǎi xíng zhě zài nì xíng tú zhōng ， biàn sā wǒ zhī líng guāng 。 wǒ cóng guò qù de měi yī duàn shān hǎi zhōng ， dōu xié dài zhe zhī yuán lì liàng 。 fēn fēn ér fǎn ， tóng yàng shì jí shān hǎi qí lì ， xún pò jú zhī fǎ ！”
“其二，便是山海行者在逆行途中，遍撒我之灵光。我从过去的每一段山海中，都携带着支援力量。纷纷而返，同样是集山海齐力，寻破局之法！”
The moment he realized this, those blurry images began to wildly flicker like a primordial beast colliding violently within his vision.
qiū xīn huì mù guāng jiǒng jiǒng ：“ wǒ bìng bú shì nà wèi shān hǎi zhī mò de shèng zhě běn zūn ， ér shì yú kōng xiǎng zhōng bèi zhào huàn de zào wù 。”
丘心慧目光炯炯：“我并不是那位山海之末的圣者本尊，而是于空想中被召唤的造物。”
Countless lines twisted and seemed to leap out of sight into reality!
“ suǒ jì chéng jì yì ， yě bìng fēi wán zhěng 。 shèn zhì shì wú shù gè kōng xiǎng gòu zhù zhōng ， bìng bù tè shū de yí gè 。 wǒ zuì zhōng de mìng yùn ， yě zǎo yǐ jīng zhù dìng 。”
“所继承记忆，也并非完整。甚至是无数个空想构筑中，并不特殊的一个。我最终的命运，也早已经注定。”
At the same time, Li Fan's heart, which had been incredibly calm, started beating in unison with these movements.
“ dàn wǒ zhī suǒ qiú ， suǒ yǒu qiū xīn huì suǒ qiú 。 dōu cóng wèi gǎi biàn 。”
“但我之所求，所有丘心慧所求。都从未改变。”
Not from fear, but from instinctive excitement.
qiū xīn huì kàn zhe lǐ fán ， tǎn yán dào ：“ nà biàn shì ， zhēn zhèng lǜ zhòng ， zǒu chū shān hǎi mò shì ！”
丘心慧看着李凡，坦言道：“那便是，真正率众，走出山海末世！”
"Xuan Pin returns!"
“ liǎng zhǒng cháng shì ， yī jiāo shì rén 、 yī yóu zì shēn 。 shuō bù dìng shuāng guǎn qí xià ， shǒu wěi hū yìng 。 cái zhēn zhèng yǒu lì wǎn kuáng lán zhī jī 。”
“两种尝试，一交世人、一由自身。说不定双管齐下，首尾呼应。才真正有力挽狂澜之机。”
With a sudden sense of fortune, Li Fan silently recited this in his mind.
lǐ fán shì bèi gǎn dòng ， yòu shì bèi zhèn hàn 。
李凡似被感动，又似被震撼。
Crack!
jiǔ jiǔ bù yǔ 。
久久不语。
The countless intersecting lines suddenly shattered and faded instantly. Only one shadow became clearer, leaping out from the void to descend upon the Sea and Mountains.
“【 shān hǎi mò shèng 】， guǒ rán dà cái 。 yuǎn fēi wǒ zhè xìng yùn ér néng bǐ ！”
“【山海末圣】，果然大才。远非我这幸运儿能比！”
Whoosh!
“ wú guài hū míng dào zhū xiān ， dōu duì nǐ rú cǐ xìn rèn le 。”
“无怪乎铭道诸仙，都对你如此信任了。”
The Sea and Mountains instantly boiled with activity as if a strong wind had blown through them, causing massive waves on the sea surface and trees atop mountains to fall over.
lǐ fán tàn fú ， ér hòu rè xuè jī áng dào ：“ jì rú cǐ ， nà wǒ biàn shě mìng péi jūn zǐ yòu hé fáng ？”
李凡叹服，而后热血激昂道：“既如此，那我便舍命陪君子又何妨？”
Dozens of gazes suddenly landed in various parts of the Sea and Mountains.
“ jí biàn bù néng zhēn zhèng zhěng jiù shān hǎi ， néng jiàn 【 shān hǎi mò shèng 】 yí miàn ， yě shì cǐ shēng wú hàn ！”
“即便不能真正拯救山海，能见【山海末圣】一面，也是此生无憾！”
After a brief calm, the Sea and Mountains reacted even more intensely.
lǐ fán de huà ， yě yǐn qǐ le yī zhòng zūn zhě men gòng míng 。
李凡的话，也引起了一众尊者们共鸣。
Boiling chaos!
yī fān gǎn kǎi hòu ， zhòng rén yòu shāng tǎo qǐ le shān hǎi guī xīng shí nà yī shùn de jù tǐ xì jié 。
一番感慨后，众人又商讨起了山海归星时那一瞬的具体细节。
"Go!"
“ jīng yóu wǒ men tuī yǎn ， shēng miè zhī jiè nèi nà wàn qiān kě néng xìng bēn liú ， jì huì zài nà yī kè zhēn zhèng xīn shēng 、 yì huì shì zhī chēng wǒ men tuō lí shān hǎi de yī dà dòng lì 。”
“经由我们推衍，生灭之界内那万千可能性奔流，既会在那一刻真正新生、亦会是支撑我们脱离山海的一大动力。”
Li Fan slowly absorbed the shadow in his vision and calmly spoke.
“ xū zhī ， rú jīn shēng miè zhī jiè zhōng suǒ cún kōng xiǎng kě néng xìng ， suī zhǐ shù wàn zhī shù 。 dàn yě kě miǎn qiǎng kàn zuò wú zhī shān hǎi yī duàn suō yǐng le 。 ruò shì jì huà shùn lì ， qí tā shí kōng duàn de dào yǒu ， yě gòng tóng huí guī de huà ……”
“需知，如今生灭之界中所存空想可能性，虽只数万之数。但也可勉强看作吾之山海一段缩影了。若是计划顺利，其他时空段的道友，也共同回归的话……”
He exhaled a foul breath, blocking all disturbances from the Sea and Mountains.
“ nà me wǒ men suǒ jù jí kōng xiǎng gòu zhù ， biàn hǎo sì zhěng duàn shān hǎi de wēi suō kōng xiǎng 。”
“那么我们所聚集空想构筑，便好似整段山海的微缩空想。”
With this foul breath, the heavens were born and all things came into being.
“ shān hǎi jǐn fù ， xīng zhī chū shēng 。 kōng xiǎng shān hǎi zhà xiàn ， shuō bù dé ， yǒu fān tiān fù dì zhī wēi ！”
“山海尽覆，星之初生。空想山海乍现，说不得，有翻天覆地之威！”
Amidst dazzling light, countless living beings were born with cries of newborns weaving together into a grand symphony that echoed throughout the Sea and Mountains.
……
……
For a moment, it was so lively that even the thunderous winds and lightning in the Sea and Mountains were temporarily subdued.
lǐ fán yǐ zhǔn shèng zhī qū ， huò dé le shēng miè zhī jiè zhū zūn zhě de jué duì xìn rèn 。
李凡以准圣之躯，获得了生灭之界诸尊者的绝对信任。
At the same time, this myriad of vibrant life somewhat obscured the vision of the Sages.
yīn cǐ zhī xiǎo le tā men de jiù shì jì huà 。
因此知晓了他们的救世计划。
Although all these thriving lives collapsed like a collapsing building within an instant, turning into complete silence.
suī bú dào zuì hòu shí kè ， wú fǎ què dìng tā men suǒ miáo huì hóng tú de zhēn shí xìng 。 dàn bù dé bù shuō ， qiū xīn huì de liǎng zhǒng cháng shì ， hái dí què yǒu xiē lìng rén rè xuè fèi téng 。
虽不到最后时刻，无法确定他们所描绘宏图的真实性。但不得不说，丘心慧的两种尝试，还的确有些令人热血沸腾。
But in this fleeting moment, Li Fan and everyone from the Sea and Mountains vanished under the illumination of a golden glow.
ruò bú shì lǐ fán yǒu hái zhēn zuò wéi yī zhàng de huà ， shuō bù dìng hái zhēn huì shì shàng nà me yī shì 。
若不是李凡有还真作为依仗的话，说不定还真会试上那么一试。
They headed towards the end of the Sea and Mountains.
zhǐ kě xī ……
只可惜……
Coming fast, going even faster. In an instant, the Sea and Mountains returned to their original state.
hái zhēn bàng shēn ， suí shí néng gòu zhòng lái de lǐ fán ， shì zhù dìng bú huì xiàng míng dào xiān tā men yī yàng ， pīn dào shān hǎi guī xīng de nà yī kè de 。
还真傍身，随时能够重来的李凡，是注定不会像铭道仙他们一样，拼到山海归星的那一刻的。
It seemed that due to Xuan Pin's departure, this Sea and Mountains now showed signs of old age.
“ dāng rán ， ruò zhǐ shì qù jiàn jiàn shì miàn ， yě wú bù kě 。”
“当然，若只是去见见世面，也无不可。”
In just a few moments, thousands of possibilities collapsed into the Daoian mists.
“ shān hǎi zhī mò ， héng dù yǒng jì xū jiè ……”
“山海之末，横渡永寂虚界……”
The white circle on the other side was filled with the Sages' ethereal forms standing in sequence.
“ mó nǐ zhōng ， wǒ zài bǐ àn zhū shèng miàn qián ， bào lù le hái zhēn cún zài 。 shì yīn wèi zì shēn xiū wèi gēn shèng zhě chā jù tài dà 。”
“模拟中，我在彼岸诸圣面前，暴露了还真存在。是因为自身修为跟圣者差距太大。”
"Xuan Pin Path..."
“ dàn xiàn zài ， wǒ yǒu 【 xuán pìn 】 dà dào zài shēn 。 yǐ huán zhēn duì tā de zhǎng kòng lì dù ， zài jiàn dào nà wèi shān hǎi mò shèng zhī qián ， wǒ chéng jiù 【 shèng zhě 】， yīng gāi bìng fēi nàn shì 。”
“但现在，我有【玄牝】大道在身。以还真对祂的掌控力度，在见到那位山海末圣之前，我成就【圣者】，应该并非难事。”
"Strange."
“ yǐ shèng duì shèng ， zòng shǐ ruò shàng duì fāng nà me yī chóu 。 yě yīng gāi bù zhì yú huì zhí jiē bèi kàn gè jīng guāng ba ？”
“以圣对圣，纵使弱上对方那么一筹。也应该不至于会直接被看个精光吧？”
Inside the white circle, light rapidly flickered as if calculating something.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng chén yín sī suǒ zhe ， tóng shí yīn wèi shè jí shèng zhě 、 hái shì yì lì yú shān hǎi zhī mò ， dāng shǔ zhěng duàn shān hǎi zhōng zuì qiáng de qí zhōng yī wèi 。
李凡心中沉吟思索着，同时因为涉及圣者、还是屹立于山海之末，当属整段山海中最强的其中一位。
According to common sense, everything within this segment of the Sea and Mountains should be under their control.
tā yě shí fēn jǐn shèn de ， xiàng 【 hái zhēn 】 zhēng qiú yì jiàn 。
他也十分谨慎的，向【还真】征求意见。
No matter what changes occurred, they would remain like ripples on a calm pond, unable to stir up significant waves.
hái zhēn chén mò ér duì ， bìng méi yǒu zǔ zhǐ 。
还真沉默而对，并没有阻止。
But now...
ér lǐ fán zì shēn líng jué yě méi yǒu shì jǐng 。
而李凡自身灵觉也没有示警。
In the seemingly tranquil pond beneath the Sages' eyes, a water tornado suddenly appeared, truly astonishing.
yú shì jì huà zhōng dìng 。
于是计划终定。
The light in the white circle shattered as the ethereal forms of the Sages opened their eyes simultaneously.
shēng miè zhī jiè zhòng rén de mù biāo ， shì shān hǎi zhī mò 。
生灭之界众人的目标，是山海之末。
It seemed they had communicated countless thoughts instantaneously.
yīn ér duì běn duàn shí kōng shān hǎi zhǒng zhǒng ， jī hū shì háo bù zài yì 。
因而对本段时空山海种种，几乎是毫不在意。
But after a moment, they closed their eyes again.
zhǐ shì àn zhōng sōu jí kōng xiǎng gòu zhù rén cái ， jī xù lì liàng 。
只是暗中搜集空想构筑人才，积蓄力量。
"Let them go."
lǐ fán yī biān gǎn wù xuán pìn dà dào ， yī biān hái bù wàng guān xīn kōng xiǎng gòu zhù shì yí 。
李凡一边感悟玄牝大道，一边还不忘关心空想构筑事宜。
"Perhaps this journey to the end of the Sea and Mountains is where we find our turning point."
míng míng chéng shèng zhī lù jiù zài yǎn qián ， jū rán hái néng rěn zhù yòu huò 、 chōu shēn guān xīn jiù shì shì yè 。 lǐ fán de jǔ dòng ， lìng shēng miè zhī jiè yī zhòng zūn zhě jìng pèi bù yǐ 。
明明成圣之路就在眼前，居然还能忍住诱惑、抽身关心救世事业。李凡的举动，令生灭之界一众尊者敬佩不已。
"We will watch over this Sea and Mountains for now."
wéi yǒu lǐ fán zì jǐ zhī dào ， xiāng jiào yú nà shān hǎi dà dào ， shí zé fǎn ér shì zhè kōng xiǎng fǎ mén 、 duì zì jǐ de bāng zhù gèng dà 。
唯有李凡自己知道，相较于那山海大道，实则反而是这空想法门、对自己的帮助更大。
"No matter the beginning or end, no matter if it's alone or together, we have exhausted all methods. Now that a change has occurred..."
“ qiū xīn huì bù kuì shì 【 shān hǎi mò shèng 】， zhè kōng xiǎng zhī fǎ ， yǐ jīng jī hū néng chù mō dào zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn de mén kǎn le 。”
“丘心慧不愧是【山海末圣】，这空想之法，已经几乎能触摸到真假之变的门槛了。”
"It might be a good thing."
"Second True, the path to becoming a Sage of the Sea and Mountains is far more challenging than I imagined."
Standing in the void, Li Fan let out a long sigh filled with沧桑. The time required for this enlightenment was hundreds of times longer than all his past lifetimes combined.
Fortunately, it was just pure, monotonous contemplation without any distractions. And the True panel occasionally passing by reminded him of his true identity.
"Today is the day I become a Sage."
His expression solemn, he softly recited.
Around him, the other Eternals of the Sea and Mountains silently observed and protected.
"The manifestation of enlightenment is too great to hide."
"So, the moment we achieve Sagehood will be when we return through the void."
Li Fan instructed as he stepped forward.
"Return to the true path."
As he silently repeated this in his heart, the True panel's four words "First Xuan Pin" shone with unprecedented brilliance.
Its light was so dazzling that it almost dimmed all other characters on the screen.
Li Fan seemed truly embodying the Master of Xuan Pin, wielding this sea and mountain path.
Just like a commoner ascending to immortality, Li Fan's perception of the Sea and Mountains gradually changed.
Although still boundless, the mountains could be climbed and the seas crossed. He stood atop peaks and floated on the ocean surface.
His mindset and vision were different.
The black Daoian mists that seemed to devour everything in the Sea and Mountains also began to change.
"They are still like dark shadows, terrifying to behold. But if one fights for survival..."
"There might be a chance of survival."
Li Fan understood.
The path to Sagehood had just begun.
With his body aligned with the Sea and Mountains, Li Fan felt enveloped by some strange aura.
Faint images flashed before his eyes, seemingly originating from the oldest memories of the Sea and Mountains, even more ancient than the Sea and Mountains themselves.
Though the images were indistinct, Li Fan could sense the Sea and Mountains' reverence and greed.
"Divinity."
"The source of all power in the Sea and Mountains." Li Fan suddenly understood.
The moment he realized this, those blurry images began to wildly flicker like a primordial beast colliding violently within his vision.
Countless lines twisted and seemed to leap out of sight into reality!
At the same time, Li Fan's heart, which had been incredibly calm, started beating in unison with these movements.
Not from fear, but from instinctive excitement.
"Xuan Pin returns!"
With a sudden sense of fortune, Li Fan silently recited this in his mind.
Crack!
The countless intersecting lines suddenly shattered and faded instantly. Only one shadow became clearer, leaping out from the void to descend upon the Sea and Mountains.
Whoosh!
The Sea and Mountains instantly boiled with activity as if a strong wind had blown through them, causing massive waves on the sea surface and trees atop mountains to fall over.
Dozens of gazes suddenly landed in various parts of the Sea and Mountains.
After a brief calm, the Sea and Mountains reacted even more intensely.
Boiling chaos!
"Go!"
Li Fan slowly absorbed the shadow in his vision and calmly spoke.
He exhaled a foul breath, blocking all disturbances from the Sea and Mountains.
With this foul breath, the heavens were born and all things came into being.
Amidst dazzling light, countless living beings were born with cries of newborns weaving together into a grand symphony that echoed throughout the Sea and Mountains.
For a moment, it was so lively that even the thunderous winds and lightning in the Sea and Mountains were temporarily subdued.
At the same time, this myriad of vibrant life somewhat obscured the vision of the Sages.
Although all these thriving lives collapsed like a collapsing building within an instant, turning into complete silence.
But in this fleeting moment, Li Fan and everyone from the Sea and Mountains vanished under the illumination of a golden glow.
They headed towards the end of the Sea and Mountains.
Coming fast, going even faster. In an instant, the Sea and Mountains returned to their original state.
It seemed that due to Xuan Pin's departure, this Sea and Mountains now showed signs of old age.
In just a few moments, thousands of possibilities collapsed into the Daoian mists.
The white circle on the other side was filled with the Sages' ethereal forms standing in sequence.
"Xuan Pin Path..."
"Strange."
Inside the white circle, light rapidly flickered as if calculating something.
According to common sense, everything within this segment of the Sea and Mountains should be under their control.
No matter what changes occurred, they would remain like ripples on a calm pond, unable to stir up significant waves.
But now...
In the seemingly tranquil pond beneath the Sages' eyes, a water tornado suddenly appeared, truly astonishing.
The light in the white circle shattered as the ethereal forms of the Sages opened their eyes simultaneously.
It seemed they had communicated countless thoughts instantaneously.
But after a moment, they closed their eyes again.
"Let them go."
"Perhaps this journey to the end of the Sea and Mountains is where we find our turning point."
"We will watch over this Sea and Mountains for now."
"No matter the beginning or end, no matter if it's alone or together, we have exhausted all methods. Now that a change has occurred..."
"It might be a good thing."
