“ kǒng wú yòu bài ， zài lián lěi zhū wèi dào yǒu 。” zài dù fù lián shān hǎi zhī qián ， lǐ fán miàn yǒu yōu sè 。
“恐吾又败，再连累诸位道友。”再度复联山海之前，李凡面有忧色。
"Actually, I'm not necessarily incompatible with the path of Xuanpin."
“ jìn lì ér wéi jí kě 。 jí biàn zài bài ， bù guò zài děng gè qiān nián 。 xuán pìn dào yǒu wú xū zhè bān yōu lǜ 。” shǒu qiū gōng xiào zhe shuō dào 。
“尽力而为即可。即便再败，不过再等个千年。玄牝道友无需这般忧虑。”守丘公笑着说道。
This statement surprised even the sages, including Lianshan.
“ kuàng qiě wú guān nǐ yǐ dé jiǔ fēn shén yùn ， piàn guò xū yǐng shān hǎi 、 yīng dāng bú shì wèn tí 。”
“况且吾观你已得九分神韵，骗过虚影山海、应当不是问题。”
"The Sage of the Sea and Mountains is a rare birth. Losing one is indeed regrettable. Besides, all of us are dedicated to saving the world. If we start fighting among ourselves..."
shǒu qiū gōng shuō de ， zì rán shì lián shān shèng zhě wèi zhū shèng jiǎng jiě mìng shū yǔ míng méng zào wù 。
守丘公说的，自然是连山圣者为诸圣讲解命枢与溟濛造物。
"Even if it's understandable, it might create rifts in our hearts."
bù shuō lǐ fán zì shēn wù xìng běn jiù bù sú ， dān shì zhè xuán jī huán nèi zhū shèng jù zài xià de jiā chí ， nǎ pà yī jiè fán rén 、 kū zuò qí zhōng qiān nián ， yě zú gòu jiāng qí shén suǐ lǐng wù tòu chè le 。
不说李凡自身悟性本就不俗，单是这璇玑环内诸圣俱在下的加持，哪怕一介凡人、枯坐其中千年，也足够将其神髓领悟透彻了。
"So, Sage Xuanpin, do you have a better solution?" Ta Yi asked.
“ shàng yī cì ， wú děng jǐ wú yì wài 。 zhǐ yào xuán pìn nǐ néng jiāng zhè zuì hòu yī guān bǎ hǎo ， shān hǎi fù lián biàn jìn zài yǎn qián 。”
“上一次，吾等几无意外。只要玄牝你能将这最后一关把好，山海复联便近在眼前。”
Lian Shan nodded slowly: "As I've said before, I often rise from insignificant beginnings and became a sage through the path of Xuanpin. If there are other paths available..."
lǐ fán shén qíng sù rán dào ：“ dìng jié jìn quán lì ， bù fù suǒ tuō ！”
李凡神情肃然道：“定竭尽全力，不负所托！”
"I can try them too."
dài dào tài wēi shèng dì jiāng xīn yī lún liàn zhì shèng yào sòng lái ， zhū shèng fú xià 、 jiāng gè zì zhuàng tài tiáo zhěng zhì diān fēng hòu 。 biàn cì dì ， yuè rù yǒng jì xū jiè zhī zhōng 。
待到太微圣帝将新一轮炼制圣药送来，诸圣服下、将各自状态调整至巅峰后。便次第，跃入永寂虚界之中。
The sages exchanged glances, their expressions slightly complex. Becoming a sage was not an easy task; it required fate, talent, opportunities, and hard work. Not many among them could guarantee success if they changed their paths.
zì rán hái shì àn zhào xiān qián de shùn xù 。
自然还是按照先前的顺序。
But Lian Shan seemed confident about his own abilities.
lián shān 、 guī hǎi 、 tài yì sān shèng wéi shǒu ， qiè jī 、 guǐ mìng děng rén zài hòu 。
连山、归海、太易三圣为首，窃机、晷命等人在后。
"Since there's still room for negotiation, let's discuss this further," Lian Shan said.
tài qì zuì mò ， fāng cùn yóu zǒu 。
太炁最末，方寸游走。
The oppressive aura around Xuanpin gradually subsided as he bowed slightly to Lian Shan before sitting down. Lian Shan returned the bow.
zhì yú lǐ fán ， běn zūn yī jiù duān zuò bǐ àn zhī zhōng ， zhǐ xū dài shān hǎi xū yǐng fù xiàn zhī shí ， zài fēn chū yī lǚ yì niàn yǐn dǎo jí kě 。
至于李凡，本尊依旧端坐彼岸之中，只需待山海虚影复现之时，再分出一缕意念引导即可。
Huishai Sage closed his eyes in thought and then spoke to Lian Shan: "In another 190,000 years of this Sea and Mountain, there's no more potential for growth. However, within the first 150,000 years, there might be an opportunity for enlightenment."
fù xíng qí shì ， yǐ zhū shèng tiān zī shǒu duàn 、 bìng méi yǒu chū xiàn shén me fēng bō 。
复行其事，以诸圣天资手段、并没有出现什么风波。
Guan Ming used his fingers to calculate, and images flashed before him one by one until he settled on a particular image.
jiù suàn xū jiè sì hū gǎn shòu dào le zhū shèng men de juǎn tǔ chóng lái ， làng cháo biàn dé gèng jiā xiōng yǒng jī liè le xiē 。 dàn yě zhōng jiū méi yǒu shén me tài dà yǐng xiǎng 。
就算虚界似乎感受到了诸圣们的卷土重来，浪潮变得更加汹涌激烈了些。但也终究没有什么太大影响。
It depicted a strange place in the Sea and Mountains where countless possibilities gathered but did not follow their course. It seemed to sense the impending destruction below and thus coiled around the Sea and Mountain, forming a cycle.
xīng xīng diǎn diǎn guāng máng ， zì hēi àn zhōng zhú jiàn liàng qǐ 。 pò miè de shān hǎi xū xiāng ， zài dù fú xiàn ！
星星点点光芒，自黑暗中逐渐亮起。破灭的山海虚相，再度浮现！
"This place was at the end of the previous segment of the Sea and Mountains, close to the void realm," Guan Ming said. "To avoid falling into the void, it spontaneously created this strange change. We had sensed this before but didn't pay much attention as it wasn't beneficial for saving the Sea and Mountains. But now..."
“ qù ！”
“去！”
Guan Ming was about to act when Lian Shan interrupted him.
zhū shèng shí fēn mò qì ， tóng shí jiāng gè zì shén niàn tóu rù qí zhōng 。
诸圣十分默契，同时将各自神念投入其中。
Lian Shan looked at Lian Shan and said slowly: "If you want to seize this opportunity, you might need to go there yourself. While we can assist, on one hand, this opportunity is wary of equal energy. If we forcefully intervene, it might flee. On the other hand, being tainted by our path could be detrimental to your cultivation."
fǎng fú wèi qí zhù rù le huó lì ， liú zhuǎn yú shān hǎi mài luò ， chóng xīn jī fā qǐ shēng jī 。
仿佛为其注入了活力，流转于山海脉络，重新激发起生机。
Lian Shan nodded: "I understand these principles. No problem; I'll just take a trip."
lǐ fán zhè yī cì ， yě zài méi chū shén me chā chí 。
李凡这一次，也再没出什么差池。
"Please wait for me for some time."
yǐ 【 xuán pìn 】 suǒ néng biǎo xiàn chū lái de lì liàng ， jīng yóu lián shān shèng zhě zhǐ diǎn hòu ， zuì hòu dàng zhēn mó nǐ chū le mìng shū gēn nà míng méng zào wù zhī jiān de jué lì bō dòng 。
以【玄牝】所能表现出来的力量，经由连山圣者指点后，最后当真模拟出了命枢跟那溟濛造物之间的角力波动。
"This path of Xuanpin is left to you."
zhěng duàn xū yǐng shān hǎi ， zài shùn jiān xiàn rù le jìng zhǐ 。
整段虚影山海，在瞬间陷入了静止。
As Lian Shan spoke, a beam of light flashed in his eyes.
ér hòu hǎo sì yǒu tiān qīng zhī yīn xiǎng qǐ ， hōng lōng lóng zì sì miàn bā fāng ér lái 。
而后好似有天倾之音响起，轰隆隆自四面八方而来。
Then the path of Xuanpin he controlled seemed to be slowly stripped off like an outer garment!
lǐ fán mī qǐ yǎn jīng ， zhèng yù xún zhǎo zháo zhè shēng xiǎng de lái yuán 。
李凡眯起眼睛，正欲寻找着这声响的来源。
After being abandoned, the unowned Xuanpin's instinct was to escape. However, another Sage of Xuanpin took control of it.
rán ér yī gǔ qiáng dà de chì lì ， què shì hū de cóng “ lǐ bù fán ” de shēn tǐ zhōng yǒng xiàn ， jiāng tā yì niàn dàn chū 。
然而一股强大的斥力，却是忽的从“李不凡”的身体中涌现，将他意念弹出。
As for Lian Shan...
rú bīng róng shuǐ ， xiāo shī yú dào yān zhī zhōng 。
如冰融水，消失于道湮之中。
Without the support of the Sea and Mountain path, his cultivation should have regressed to the Transcendent Realm. But a faint glow still shone from him, making it hard for the sages to discern its true nature!
lǐ fán méi yǒu zài yì zì jǐ yī sī yì niàn de xiāo wáng ， ér shì zhēng zhēng kàn xiàng xū jiè 。
李凡没有在意自己一丝意念的消亡，而是怔怔看向虚界。
I recommend a new book you can check out: "Sixteen Years in the Transcendence World," by Zhou Fengnian. He's still at the bottom of the Beast Taming Sect as a spirit farmer until one day his beast body dies, and he awakens with a panel!
"Actually, I'm not necessarily incompatible with the path of Xuanpin."
