“ yǒu fù xuān yuán hóng zhī tuō a ……” dào dé zhēn xiān gǎn kǎi shuō dào 。
“有负轩辕宏之托啊……”道德真仙感慨说道。
"Is that so?" The True Transcender's eyes flashed with a glint of light as he spoke. "Fate. It is intangible, yet it truly exists."
“ nǐ qíng wǒ yuàn zhī shì ， rú zhī nài hé ？ shuō bù dìng zhè xiǎo liǎng kǒu ， rú jīn zhèng huān hǎo zhe ne 。” lǐ fán xiào zhe shuō dào 。
“你情我愿之事，如之奈何？说不定这小两口，如今正欢好着呢。”李凡笑着说道。
In the陨仙境 (Fallen Realm) of the玄黄界 (Vermilion and Yellow World), Li Fan had once transformed into the Heavenly Fate Phoenix and deduced the fate through the cultivation of the *Heavenly Fate Scripture*. However, compared to a creature's ability to manipulate fate, even that of Xuan Huang, it was like comparing clouds with mud.
wēi wēi dùn le dùn ， lǐ fán kàn xiàng xuán huáng jiè diào yú chí suǒ zài ， qiǎo shēng dào ：“ zhè me shuō lái ， bèi shān hǎi chuí diào wēng diào shàng zhè jiàn shì ， qí shí bìng wú shén me wēi xiǎn 。 zhēn zhèng wēi xiǎn de ， shì shān hǎi chuí diào wēng suǒ zài shí kōng 。 nà qǐ bù shì ， kě yǐ jiè zhù zhè shān hǎi yú chǎng ， héng dù xū jiè ？”
微微顿了顿，李凡看向玄黄界钓鱼池所在，悄声道：“这么说来，被山海垂钓翁钓上这件事，其实并无什么危险。真正危险的，是山海垂钓翁所在时空。那岂不是，可以借助这山海渔场，横渡虚界？”
"Even if this is just one of his remnants, it can still subtly alter the fate of countless lives. Moreover, in the face of the Great Destructive Catastrophe of Dao Annihilation, this possibility remains intact, unaffected by the Beyond Realm or the Supreme Virtue Dynasty."
dào dé zhēn xiān diǎn diǎn tóu ， rán hòu yòu yáo tóu ：“ rú guǒ dān dān cóng xuān yuán hóng suǒ liú xìn xī lái kàn ， zhèng shì rú cǐ 。 dàn ……”
道德真仙点点头，然后又摇头：“如果单单从轩辕宏所留信息来看，正是如此。但……”
Li Fan could faintly sense a presence surrounding Xuan Huang's remnant, as if it was protecting the entire possibility.
tā kǔ xiào yī shēng ：“ zòng shǐ tā xuān yuán hóng zài rú hé shén yì ， bèi yú xiàn chán shēn nà yī kè 、 yě zhǐ shì gōu shàng de yú ér 。 yòu rú hé néng zhēn zhèng zhī dào chuí diào wēng de jù tǐ chǔ jìng ne ？ yě xǔ tā bèi chuí diào shàng zhī hòu ， shùn jiān jiù bèi chī diào yě shuō bù dìng 。”
他苦笑一声：“纵使他轩辕宏再如何神异，被鱼线缠身那一刻、也只是钩上的鱼儿。又如何能真正知道垂钓翁的具体处境呢？也许他被垂钓上之后，瞬间就被吃掉也说不定。”
"Even though he has become an ordinary person, Xuan Huang will not remain hidden for long. He discovered the secrets of the fishing pool when young and rose to prominence again after many years. Not only did he complete his final ascension in the extreme environment of the Vermilion and Yellow World's divine realm experiment field, but he also survived the collapse of the divine realm during the Great Destructive Catastrophe with a semi-divine body, while simultaneously gathering countless treasures from the divine realm."
“ gèng hé kuàng ， shān hǎi běn yī tǐ 。 shēn chù nǎ duàn shí kōng ， shí zé bìng bú zhòng yào 。 zhēn zhèng zhòng yào de ， shì zì shēn héng dù xū jiè de néng lì 。”
“更何况，山海本一体。身处哪段时空，实则并不重要。真正重要的，是自身横渡虚界的能力。”
"Upon returning to the mortal world, he gathered dozens of nameless incarnations around him. He is truly a son of fate."
lǐ fán qīng xiào yī shēng ：“ dào yǒu shuō de zài lǐ 。”
李凡轻笑一声：“道友说的在理。”
"And when his life was once again in peril as an immortal, it was the Fishing Pool of the Sea and Mountains that saved his life at the last moment."
“ cǐ shì duì yìng dào dé yuán mǎn zhī zhù ， jiē xià lái ， wǒ zhī suǒ qiú 、 biàn shì dà nào shān hǎi le 。”
“此事对应道德圆满之助，接下来，我之所求、便是大闹山海了。”
"The Sea and Mountains' extraordinary luck indeed has some merit," Li Fan said with a cold snort.
“ yǐ dào yǒu rú jīn zhuàng tài ， xiǎng lái chéng jiù shèng zhě ， yǐ shì chéng zhú zài xiōng le ba ？”
“以道友如今状态，想来成就圣者，已是成竹在胸了吧？”
He even suspected that Xuan Huang's second incarnation as an ordinary person might have been due to the presence of Zhen Ren (True Person).
dào dé zhēn xiān wēi wēi hàn shǒu ：“ xū zài zuò yī fān zhǔn bèi 。 bù guò dào yǒu fàng xīn ， wǒ tū pò zhèng dào zhī qián ， bì dìng huì tōng zhī nǐ 。”
道德真仙微微颔首：“需再做一番准备。不过道友放心，我突破证道之前，必定会通知你。”
"Zhen Ren, hiding in plain sight, attracting all the Sea and Mountains' paths. For example, the opportunities obtained by Heavenly Net Emperor."
lǐ fán yòu cóng kǒu zhōng ， huǎn huǎn tǔ chū yī lǚ yū jī zhēn líng 。 ér hòu yòu yǐ kōng xiǎng zhī fǎ ， sù zào chū dào dé shēn qū 。
李凡又从口中，缓缓吐出一缕淤积真灵。而后又以空想之法，塑造出道德身躯。
"The Sea and Mountains' extraordinary luck is something that even I can sense. If I could obtain it, perhaps my fate would change..."
“ wú xū qù zhǎo wǒ 。 nǐ chéng shèng shí ， dào dé zhì zhēn 、 gé tóng shān hǎi 。 zhè jù kōng xiǎng dào dé shēn qū ， biàn huì xiāo sàn 。 dào shí ， wǒ zì huì zhī xiǎo 。”
“无需去找我。你成圣时，道德至臻、格同山海。这具空想道德身躯，便会消散。到时，我自会知晓。”
"But alas, the Vermilion and Yellow World is too deep. The Sea and Mountains' extraordinary luck can influence the fortunes of the Sea and Mountains, but its effect on things of the same rank might be greatly reduced. In the end, Zhen Ren still fell into my hands!"
huà yīn wèi luò ， lǐ fán shēn yǐng biàn huǎn huǎn bú jiàn 。
话音未落，李凡身影便缓缓不见。
Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he grasped Xuan Huang's remnant and crushed it with a flick of his fingers.
qū jìn yú shèng de dào dé zhēn xiān ， yě xún tā bú jiàn 。
趋近于圣的道德真仙，也寻他不见。
"Even if you have all the good luck in the world, how can you compare to me, who has countless chances?"
“ dàng zhēn shì shén mì mò cè 。”
“当真是神秘莫测。”
The statue of the *Purple Apex Primordial Power Fortune Creation World Buddha*, which had been worshipped for tens of thousands of years by countless lives, vanished into nothingness.
dào dé zhēn xiān xīn zhōng àn zì dí gū le jù 。
道德真仙心中暗自嘀咕了句。
The shock and despair of those witnessing this scene spread throughout the heavens.
bù guò dāng wù zhī jí ， hái shì zì jǐ chéng shèng zhī lù 。 dào dé zhēn xiān shōu liǎn xīn shén ， bì guān xiū xíng 。
不过当务之急，还是自己成圣之路。道德真仙收敛心神，闭关修行。
A stream of light descended from the divine realm in anger as they sought to investigate the reason behind the destruction of the statue.
lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu huí fǎn xuán huáng jiè 、 yī tàn shān hǎi yú chǎng jiū jìng 。
李凡并没有回返玄黄界、一探山海渔场究竟。
However, even their most powerful among them was only a nameless True Transcender, so they could not affect Li Fan at all.
ér shì gēn suí ěr pàn yī duàn qí tè yùn lǜ ， qiǎo rán qián wǎng shān hǎi mǒu chù 。
而是跟随耳畔一段奇特韵律，悄然前往山海某处。
"Without the protection of extraordinary luck, you will be lucky if you can save yourself," Li Fan said indifferently as he looked towards the Dao Annihilation beyond his current possibility.
zhè yùn lǜ ， zhèng shì míng kè zài xuān yuán xuè mài zhōng de sòng jīng mó yīn 。 wǎn ruò xuān yuán hóng kuà yuè shí kōng de dī yǔ ， zhǐ yǐn hòu rén qián qù 。
这韵律，正是铭刻在轩辕血脉中的诵经魔音。宛若轩辕宏跨越时空的低语，指引后人前去。
He smiled and disappeared.
xiān qián lǐ fán yì zhí jì dàn zhè wèi xuán tiān wáng shǒu duàn ， suī zhī xiǎo qí mì 、 què yě méi yǒu qīn zì yǐ shēn fàn xiǎn 。
先前李凡一直忌惮这位玄天王手段，虽知晓其秘、却也没有亲自以身犯险。
The Dao Annihilation gradually roared, and after countless years, this world finally faced its doom.
zhí zhì hòu lái ， yǒu le bù jù xuān yuán hóng de shí lì hòu ， suǒ zài yì de gèng duō shì gēn shèng zhě duì kàng zhī shì 。 duì yú xuán tiān wáng suǒ liú ， dǎo shì yǐ jīng bù zěn me zài yì le 。
直至后来，有了不惧轩辕宏的实力后，所在意的更多是跟圣者对抗之事。对于玄天王所留，倒是已经不怎么在意了。
Li Fan, who seemed indifferent to it all, focused on researching the *Extraordinary Luck* that Xuan Huang had left behind during his escape as an ordinary person.
bù guò rú jīn ， zhī xiǎo le xuán tiān wáng zì shēn yì chù 、 néng dé shān hǎi zhōng wèi zhī cún zài jì yú hòu ， lǐ fán biàn yòu qǐ le xiǎng fǎ 。
不过如今，知晓了玄天王自身异处、能得山海中未知存在觊觎后，李凡便又起了想法。
"Since Xuan Huang carries the Sea and Mountains' extraordinary luck, he should not easily suffer misfortune."
ér suí shí néng 【 xuán pìn 】 jiā shēn 、 chéng jiù shān hǎi shèng zhě ， yě wú xū dān xīn qí zhōng huì yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn 。
而随时能【玄牝】加身、成就山海圣者，也无需担心其中会有什么危险。
"He is still alive today."
yú shì biàn piān rán qián wǎng 。
于是便翩然前往。
"The characteristics of fate are such that even a commoner or a saint would find it difficult to calculate him. But I am different!"
mó yīn zhèn zhèn ， shí duàn shí xù 。
魔音阵阵，时断时续。
"Even if your luck is good, how can you compare to me with countless chances?"
zhǐ shì shān hǎi zhōng fāng wèi què shì qīng xī wú bǐ 。
指示山海中方位却是清晰无比。
"If I could acquire another Sea and Mountains path..."
lǐ fán céng jīng biàn yóu dāng qián duàn shān hǎi dà bù fèn kě néng xìng ， rán shān hǎi wú yín ， zǒng yǒu tā méi yǒu shè zú zhī chù 。
李凡曾经遍游当前段山海大部分可能性，然山海无垠，总有他没有涉足之处。
The *Sea and Mountains' Extraordinary Luck* was the only Sea and Mountains path that Li Fan knew of besides *Xuan Pin*.
shùn zhe zhǐ yǐn ， zhú jiàn shēn rù 。
顺着指引，逐渐深入。
And its master had not yet achieved the realm of a saint. This naturally made Li Fan's thoughts stir.
lǐ fán zhuì rù yī chù qī hēi de xīng kōng zhī zhōng 。
李凡坠入一处漆黑的星空之中。
"Moreover, I am really curious: can one wear multiple pieces of the Sea and Mountains' path simultaneously?"
shén niàn yī sǎo ， qǐng kè jiān biàn jǐn lǎn cǐ tiáo kě néng xìng quán mào 。
神念一扫，顷刻间便尽览此条可能性全貌。
"Unfortunately, the Sea and Mountains are far apart. Otherwise, I would definitely test it."
“ zhà kàn shàng qù ， sì hū bìng wú shén me tè shū de dì fāng 。”
“乍看上去，似乎并无什么特殊的地方。”
Extraordinary luck could avoid many unforeseen disasters. In the battle for supremacy among saints, even a slight difference might lead to completely different outcomes.
“ dàn néng ràng xuán tiān wáng míng kè zài xuè mài zhōng de ， dìng rán bú huì nà me jiǎn dān 。”
“但能让玄天王铭刻在血脉中的，定然不会那么简单。”
Li Fan had already firmly set his sights on this goal as he pondered.
guàn ěr mó yīn ， yǐ rán xiāo sàn 。
贯耳魔音，已然消散。
Perhaps due to the influence of the *Extraordinary Luck* that he absorbed, Li Fan unexpectedly encountered another True Transcender with signs of potential sainthood before the True Transcendent Sage could achieve it!
lǐ fán zhǐ néng kào zhe zì jǐ sōu xún 。
李凡只能靠着自己搜寻。
This person exuded a faint aura from the Beyond Realm, revealing his origins. He silently sat at the edge of the void world, trying to resist the terrifying pressure of the endless darkness.
hǎo zài ， tā zài xuán huáng jiè duàn liàn chū le fēng fù zhì jí de sōu shān jiǎn hǎi jīng yàn 。
好在，他在玄黄界锻炼出了丰富至极的搜山检海经验。
Even more importantly, he was positioned even further ahead than Li Fan's limit, which surprised him as he came to collect the accumulated essence.
méi yòng duō zhǎng shí jiān ， lǐ fán biàn zhǎo dào le xuán tiān wáng zhǐ yǐn suǒ zài 。
没用多长时间，李凡便找到了玄天王指引所在。
After just glancing at Li Fan, this person closed his eyes again.
yī zuò qì shì huī hóng de miào yǔ nèi ， gòng fèng zhe zūn wài xíng pǔ sù de diāo xiàng 。
一座气势恢宏的庙宇内，供奉着尊外型朴素的雕像。
Under the erosion of the Void World's might, his foundation crumbled visibly before his eyes. However, his expression remained unchanged as he continued to press forward.
wò shēn cè tǎng ， shì zài bì mù chén shuì 。
卧身侧躺，似在闭目沉睡。
He ignored his inevitable doom and fought for survival!
diāo xiàng suǒ chuān yī zhuó ， yě bìng bù huá lì 。 zhǐ shì xún cháng fán rén yī shang 。
雕像所穿衣着，也并不华丽。只是寻常凡人衣裳。
But the eternal void world would not spare him due to his bravery.
rán zhè zuò miào yǔ ， duān de shì xiāng huǒ dǐng shèng zhì jí ！
然这座庙宇，端的是香火鼎盛至极！
Li Fan watched as this Beyond Realm True Transcender was crushed by the Void World's might and vanished from sight.
fāng yuán shí wàn lǐ ， jiē shì miào yǔ fù gài fàn wéi 。
方圆十万里，皆是庙宇覆盖范围。
"Did you just die?"
cóng cǐ jiè gè chù ， yuán yuán bù duàn qián lái cháo bài zhě ， bù jǐn jǐn shì fán rén 。
从此界各处，源源不断前来朝拜者，不仅仅是凡人。
"No, that can't be right!"
hái yǒu wú shù xiū shì 。
还有无数修士。
Li Fan instantly realized what had happened and looked towards the Beyond Realm.
shèn zhì ， hái yǒu xià jiè zhēn xiān 、 nǎi zhì wú míng ， huà shēn ér lái ！
甚至，还有下界真仙、乃至无名，化身而来！
Instead of leaving, he chose to wait patiently in place.
lǐ fán àn zhōng guān chá le yī zhèn ， què shì kàn chū le duān ní 。
李凡暗中观察了一阵，却是看出了端倪。
Sure enough, soon a similar figure flew rapidly over and sat down at the original position.
cǐ miào yǔ suǒ gòng fèng diāo xiàng ， zhèng shì xuán tiān wáng mú yàng 。
此庙宇所供奉雕像，正是玄天王模样。
"Using the destruction of the Void World to refine one's character is truly extraordinary!" Li Fan said with admiration from afar.
bù guò qí wài mào gēn xuán huáng jiè xuān yuán hóng ， bìng fēi wán quán yí zhì 。 yǒu xì wēi bù tóng zhī chù 。
不过其外貌跟玄黄界轩辕宏，并非完全一致。有细微不同之处。
In response to Li Fan's praise, this person ignored him and continued meditating.
cháng rén nán yǐ fēn biàn ， què shì táo bù chū lǐ fán zhī yǎn 。
常人难以分辨，却是逃不出李凡之眼。
Li Fan was not annoyed; he continued speaking to himself: "Unfortunately, such efforts are mostly futile. Without the strength to cross the void world, no matter how much one is tempered, they cannot survive in it. Once their realm reaches a certain level, survival becomes natural. All previous efforts were wasted."
ér cǐ zuò miào yǔ ， zhī suǒ yǐ huì yǐn lái fán rén 、 xiān jiè ， wú shù shēng líng qián chéng gòng fèng 。 bìng fēi chún cuì yīn wèi xìn yǎng 。
而此座庙宇，之所以会引来凡人、仙界，无数生灵虔诚供奉。并非纯粹因为信仰。
Li Fan's sighs and complaints angered the seated True Transcender.
gèng shì yīn wèi ， jì bài cǐ zūn diāo xiàng ， dàng zhēn yǒu nì tiān gǎi mìng zhī xiào ！
更是因为，祭拜此尊雕像，当真有逆天改命之效！
Opening his eyes, he sneered: "What nonsense. If you continue to talk, I won't hesitate to disturb your meditation!"
shí wàn lǐ shén miào ， wú shù huá dòng qiáng liáng shàng ， juān kè mǎn le yīn wèi gòng fèng shén xiàng ér gǎi biàn le zì shēn mìng yùn zhī shì 。
十万里神庙，无数华栋墙梁上，镌刻满了因为供奉神像而改变了自身命运之事。
The True Transcender did not give Li Fan a good face, but Li Fan remained unperturbed.
shàng zhì zhēn xiān ， xià zhì fán sú 。 bǐ bǐ jiē shì 。
上至真仙，下至凡俗。比比皆是。
Instead, he said sincerely: "Honest advice is bitter medicine. I pity your talent and don't want to see you waste precious time."
bú shì kuā dà xū jiǎ xuān chuán ， ér shì yī zhuāng zhuāng zhēn shí fā shēng guò zhī shì 。
不是夸大虚假宣传，而是一桩桩真实发生过之事。
The True Transcender was furious but laughed in return: "Then tell me, how can one resist the pressure of the Void World?"
“ zǐ jí hùn yuán fú yùn chuàng shì tiān zūn ……”
“紫极混元福运创世天尊……”
"Simply become a saint. The realm of transcendence makes it extremely difficult to survive in the void world."
lǐ fán qīng xiào zhe ， jiāng shén miào suǒ zài zhū duō shén yì zhī shì yī yī kàn guò 。
李凡轻笑着，将神庙所载诸多神异之事一一看过。
"But saints have few who cannot cross the void."
xīn zhōng yǐ rán yǒu shù 。
心中已然有数。
What Li Fan said were empty words.
lái dào diāo xiàng fù jìn ， zài dù zǐ xì guān chá 。
来到雕像附近，再度仔细观察。
The True Transcender sneered: "Sea and Mountains saints are rare. It's not as simple as just becoming a saint. Without proper talent, opportunities, or fate, any shortcoming can lead to lifelong hopelessness. You must understand this principle?"
“ bìng bù jù bèi shēng mìng tè zhēng 。 què yě bìng bú shì dān chún de sǐ wù 。”
“并不具备生命特征。却也并不是单纯的死物。”
"Exactly! In other words, if your strengths are long enough, you can ignore other shortcomings. Is that right?" Li Fan quickly responded, pressing the point.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
The True Transcender was taken aback and reluctantly nodded.
“ xuān yuán hóng céng jīng jīn chán tuō qiào 、 suǒ liú yí tuì 。”
“轩辕宏曾经金蝉脱壳、所留遗蜕。”
Then he argued: "Talent, opportunities, fate—these are all predetermined by heaven. Ordinary methods cannot change them. Only self-effort is seen as the only salvation."
lǐ fán mù guāng rú jù ， yī yǎn biàn kàn chū le zhè zūn diāo xiàng de zhēn shí lái lì 。
李凡目光如炬，一眼便看出了这尊雕像的真实来历。
From his days as an ordinary person, he believed himself to be a prodigy. But after reaching the limits of transcendence, he realized that his talent was still lacking in some way.
“ xuān yuán hóng bèi dīng shàng ， yǐn nì yú shān hǎi zhōng 。 dì yī zhàn què bìng fēi xuán huáng jiè ， ér shì zài cǐ kě néng xìng zhōng 。 zhǐ bù guò ， huò shì yīn wèi dì yī cì de yǐn nì xiào guǒ bù jiā 、 yì huò zhě qí tā shén me yuán yīn 。 tā xuǎn zé zài dù táo cuàn ， zhǐ liú yī jù kōng ké zài cǐ 。”
“轩辕宏被盯上，隐匿于山海中。第一站却并非玄黄界，而是在此可能性中。只不过，或是因为第一次的隐匿效果不佳、亦或者其他什么原因。他选择再度逃窜，只留一具空壳在此。”
Thus, he woke up to the importance of effort and worked day and night at the edge of the void world.
“ dào le xuán huáng jiè ， chè dǐ huà shēn wèi fán rén 。 zhǎn duàn le gēn shān hǎi lián xì 。”
“到了玄黄界，彻底化身为凡人。斩断了跟山海联系。”
Li Fan interrupted him: "What if I told you I could help you change your fate and achieve sainthood?"
"Is that so?" The True Transcender's eyes flashed with a glint of light as he spoke. "Fate. It is intangible, yet it truly exists."
In the陨仙境 (Fallen Realm) of the玄黄界 (Vermilion and Yellow World), Li Fan had once transformed into the Heavenly Fate Phoenix and deduced the fate through the cultivation of the *Heavenly Fate Scripture*. However, compared to a creature's ability to manipulate fate, even that of Xuan Huang, it was like comparing clouds with mud.
