rú guǒ shuō héng dù xū jiè shì yī cháng yuǎn yáng háng xíng de huà ， nà me zhēn líng guàn zhù biàn yì wèi zhe wú qióng wú jìn de bǔ jǐ 。
如果说横渡虚界是一场远洋航行的话，那么真灵灌注便意味着无穷无尽的补给。
If the Six Sages' battle is nearing its critical moment, we shouldn't delay any longer. We'll only leave two virtual shadows behind and dive into the Void Realm with our true forms following the direction of the fluctuations.
shǐ de yuán běn xiōng xiǎn zhì jí zhī shì ， biàn dé xī shū píng cháng le qǐ lái 。
使得原本凶险至极之事，变得稀疏平常了起来。
"Only my 'Mountain Collapse' can be used at a crucial moment," Li Fan said confidently. At the same time, he activated countless true spirits in the Void Realm to cover their presence as a disguise.
yī lù wú jīng wú xiǎn ， hěn kuài ， qián yī duàn shān hǎi biàn yǐ jīng yáo yáo zài wàng le 。
一路无惊无险，很快，前一段山海便已经遥遥在望了。
The accumulated true spirits surrounded them, completely concealing their aura and allowing them to move silently within the Void Realm.
“ mù qián kàn lái ， qián fāng shān hǎi shàng qiě wán hǎo wú sǔn ， sān shèng yīng dāng hái wèi yǔn luò 。”
“目前看来，前方山海尚且完好无损，三圣应当还未陨落。”
"Your 'Mountain Collapse' must only be used at the most critical moment to maximize its effect."
“ bù guò què yǐ jīng néng gǎn shòu dào nà gǔ shān yǔ yù lái de qì xī ， yīng dāng zhèng zài áo dòu zhī zhōng 。 wú děng lái de ， zhèng shì shí hòu 。”
“不过却已经能感受到那股山雨欲来的气息，应当正在鏖斗之中。吾等来的，正是时候。”
"Just wait for now. At other times..."
lǐ fán gēn dào dé yǐn nì zài xū jiè zhī zhōng ， àn guān shān hǎi le yī zhèn ， bǐ cǐ jiāo liú dào 。
李凡跟道德隐匿在虚界之中，暗观山海了一阵，彼此交流道。
"I'll handle it," said Shi Chou with an unshakable confidence in his words.
cǐ shí shǒu qiū gōng yě yǐ jīng cóng wù dào zhōng sū xǐng guò lái 。
此时守丘公也已经从悟道中苏醒过来。
As they communicated, they drew closer to the scene of the battle among the Six Sages.
qì xī yuān tíng yuè zhì ， lìng rén zhuó mó nán dìng ， huǎng hū jiān wǎn ruò jiàn sān shèng 。
气息渊渟岳峙，令人琢磨难定，恍惚间宛若见三圣。
The accumulated true spirits seemed like a rising tide, causing ripples and disturbances within the Void Realm.
“ wǒ xiān xíng yī bù ， shēn yǔ lìng wài zhī wǒ xiāng hé 。”
“我先行一步，身与另外之我相合。”
Li Fan and Shi Chou moved cautiously. Their vision finally caught sight of Taiyi and his Void Realm avatar!
“ ruò shì sān shèng běn zūn lì liàng yǐ jīng wú xiá gù jì bǐ àn xuán jī ， wǒ biàn xiān jiāng qí yú zhū shèng zhèn yā 。” shuō bà ， shǒu qiū jiù huà zuò yī dào bái xiàn ， zhí cì qián fāng shān hǎi zhōng 。
“若是三圣本尊力量已经无暇顾忌彼岸璇玑，我便先将其余诸圣镇压。”说罢，守丘就化作一道白线，直刺前方山海中。
Taiyi's expression was serious, just as Li Fan had seen before, though his clothes were slightly disheveled, suggesting he was under pressure.
lǐ fán sī háo méi yǒu huái yí shǒu qiū jiū jìng néng bù néng zuò dào zhè yì diǎn 。
李凡丝毫没有怀疑守丘究竟能不能做到这一点。
The Void Realm avatar...
zhè yī shì shǒu qiū wù dào de tóng shí ， tā yě xīn yǒu suǒ gǎn 。
这一世守丘悟道的同时，他也心有所感。
Its form, appearance, and aura were identical to the original. However, it seemed covered by a layer of obscurity, making it appear as if it existed in shadow.
yú shì zhǐ néng gǎn tàn ， shí lì wú xíng yuè qiáng ， hái zhēn suǒ dài lái de zēng fú 、 yě jiù yuè dà 。
于是只能感叹，实力无形越强，还真所带来的增幅、也就越大。
Its face was cold, devoid of any expression, with eyes fixed solely on Taiyi, vowing to kill him.
yǐ shǒu qiū zhī néng ， yǐ jí wú shù zài guān shān hǎi de jī lěi 。 yī zhāo wù dào zhī xià ， yǐ rán yǐn yǐn yuè shēng zhì néng gòu gēn sān shèng bǐ jiān de chéng dù le 。
以守丘之能，以及无数载观山海的积累。一朝悟道之下，已然隐隐跃升至能够跟三圣比肩的程度了。
The battle between Taiyi and his avatar was fascinating.
“ ruò shì shǒu qiū dé dào hái zhēn ， shān hǎi zǎo jiù tiān fān dì fù le 。” dào dé gǎn kǎi dào 。
“若是守丘得到还真，山海早就天翻地覆了。”道德感慨道。
Not only were they fighting, but two vast worlds and their endless inhabitants were also involved. The fusion of these two worlds created the most brutal battlefield at their intersection.
lǐ fán suī lüè gǎn wú nài ， què yě bù dé fǒu rèn 。
李凡虽略感无奈，却也不得否认。
"Can you see through the complexity?" Li Fan asked Shi Chou.
hǎo zài cǐ kè sān rén tóng xīn tóng dé ， bù fēn bǐ cǐ 。 xīn zhōng dào yě méi yǒu shēng chū shén me yì yàng 。
好在此刻三人同心同德，不分彼此。心中倒也没有生出什么异样。
"That should be... Primordial Heaven," Shi Chou observed after a while.
shǒu qiū de dòng zuò jí wéi xùn sù 。
守丘的动作极为迅速。
"Primordial Heaven?"
yě bìng méi yǒu shén me jīng tiān dòng dì de shēng xiǎng ， bù guò xiǎo bàn tiān shí jiān ， bǐ àn zài qiāo wú shēng xī jiān yǐ rán yì zhǔ 。
也并没有什么惊天动地的声响，不过小半天时间，彼岸在悄无声息间已然易主。
"Not the one that once existed in the Sea and Mountains, but rather a replica of it. Taiyi has re-created the original Primordial Heaven with his power to reshape the world..."
chá jué dào shǒu qiū chuán xùn de lǐ fán 、 dào dé ， zhè cái bù jí bù huǎn de jiàng lín shān hǎi 。
察觉到守丘传讯的李凡、道德，这才不急不缓的降临山海。
"The spirits manifested here are likely those killed by Taiyi, long vanished from history, yet their existence is a testament to being slain."
xuán jī huán nèi ， chū xiàn le yí mù qí jǐng 。
璇玑环内，出现了一幕奇景。
Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he recalled Taiyi's holy artifact, the All-Born Staff.
wǎn ruò shuāng rì tóng tiān ， chú le zuì xiān de nà dào bái quān zhī wài ， jìng rán yòu chū xiàn le lìng wài yī dào yuán huán 。
宛若双日同天，除了最先的那道白圈之外，竟然又出现了另外一道圆环。
"Among the Three Sages, this one indeed has the most ruthless nature."
zhè xīn shēng zhī huán jí wéi qiáng shì bà dào ， háo bú kè qì de zhàn jù le zhǔ dǎo wèi zhì bù shuō ， hái jiāng yuán běn huán zhōng zhū shèng 、 quán dōu lǔ dào le zì jǐ huī xià 。
这新生之环极为强势霸道，毫不客气的占据了主导位置不说，还将原本环中诸圣、全都掳到了自己麾下。
Looking at the Primordial Heaven scene, Li Fan saw several primordial spirits with unique auras. Among them were "Primordial," "Primordial Origin," "Primordial Essence," and "Primordial Unity."
shǒu qiū yǐ rán wěn zuò qí zhōng hé xīn wèi zhì ， xū xí yǐ dài lǐ fán 、 dào dé èr rén 。
守丘已然稳坐其中核心位置，虚席以待李凡、道德二人。
"The true form of Taiyi is truly extraordinary."
“ kàn lái xū jiè zhōng áo dòu yǐ dào le guān jiàn shí kè ， sān shèng jiù lián liú shǒu xū yǐng lì liàng dōu yǐ jīng huàn zǒu 。 fǒu zé wǒ yě bú huì zhè bān qīng sōng 。”
“看来虚界中鏖斗已到了关键时刻，三圣就连留守虚影力量都已经唤走。否则我也不会这般轻松。”
While Taiyi was formidable, his Void Realm avatar perfectly replicated him.
“ wǒ shēn yǔ zhè duàn shān hǎi de zì jǐ xiāng hé zhī hòu ， cù bù jí fáng zhī xià fā nán 。 qiè jī zhū shèng tā men hái méi fǎn yìng guò lái ， jiù shùn jiān bèi wǒ zhì fú 。”
“我身与这段山海的自己相合之后，猝不及防之下发难。窃机诸圣他们还没反应过来，就瞬间被我制服。”
The manifested Primordial Heaven scene was identical to the original.
“ zàn shí liú tā men yī tiáo xìng mìng ， yì fāng miàn yǐ zuò wěn gù shān hǎi zhī yòng 。 lìng yì fāng miàn ……”
“暂时留他们一条性命，一方面以作稳固山海之用。另一方面……”
Moreover, as an inhabitant of the endless Void Realm, it had a home-field advantage with infinite sources of power and could withstand any消耗 without fear. Thus, in the battle, it seemed to gain the upper hand.
“ huò kě jiè tā men zhī lì ， jí qǔ xuán jī huán yǎng fèn 。”
“或可借他们之力，汲取璇玑环养分。”
However, the stalemate continued, and Taiyi's defeat was still far from certain.
zhuǎn shùn jiān ， lǐ fán sān rén yǐ jīng zài xīn zhōng wán chéng jiāo liú 。
转瞬间，李凡三人已经在心中完成交流。
Li Fan began searching for Lian Shan and Gui Hai.
shùn zhe shǒu qiū de huà ， lǐ fán cháo zhe chǎng zhōng shuāng huán tóng zài de qí miào jǐng xiàng kàn qù 。
顺着守丘的话，李凡朝着场中双环同在的奇妙景象看去。
"Why can't we see them even though their battle ripples are so strong?" Li Fan pondered aloud, feeling puzzled.
tóng shì xuán jī huán ， cǐ kè mìng yùn yǐ jīng dà bù xiāng tóng 。
同是璇玑环，此刻命运已经大不相同。
Shi Chou looked towards a distance with an increasingly serious expression.
jiù huán suī yī rán rú rì zhōng tiān ， què shī qù le rù zuò zhū shèng ， gèng wéi guān jiàn de shì 、 hé xīn zhǔ zǎi sān shèng de lí qù ， shǐ qí yǐn yǐn xiǎn chū shuāi bài shì tou 。
旧环虽依然如日中天，却失去了入座诸圣，更为关键的是、核心主宰三圣的离去，使其隐隐显出衰败势头。
"Within the Sea and Mountains, it's hard to see the Sea and Mountains. These two have already revealed themselves."
ér xīn huán suī zhǐ shì chū xiàn ， què yǒu yī fù bié yàng àng rán shēng jī 。
而新环虽只是初现，却有一副别样盎然生机。
Following Shi Chou's guidance, Li Fan's vision of the Void Realm changed dramatically!
rú chū shēng niú dú ， zhèng zài tiǎo xìn wēi xié zhe jiù huán de dì wèi 。
如初生牛犊，正在挑衅威胁着旧环的地位。
In what seemed like a void of darkness, countless turbulent currents surged.
ràng lǐ fán gǎn dào pǒ wèi yì wài de shì ， xīn jiù zhī huán jū rán néng gòu tóng shí cún zài ， bìng méi yǒu xiāng hù pái chì 。
让李凡感到颇为意外的是，新旧之环居然能够同时存在，并没有相互排斥。
Sometimes they intertwined and clashed, other times they flowed separately.
“ xuán jī huán hé xīn ， jiē shì shén zhī yǐng 。”
“璇玑环核心，皆是神之影。”
Despite their chaotic appearance, four core points surrounded them: Lian Shan, Gui Hai, and their avatars.
“ wú lùn shì wú děng suǒ wù ， yì huò zhě sān shèng suǒ wù ， bù guò dōu shì duì zhēn zhèng shén zhī yǐng de zhuō liè mó fǎng zhī zuò 。 cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì shàng lái jiǎng ， běn shì tóng yuán 、 běn wèi yī tǐ 。 zì rán bú huì chū xiàn shén me pái chì 。”
“无论是吾等所悟，亦或者三圣所悟，不过都是对真正神之影的拙劣模仿之作。从某种意义上来讲，本是同源、本为一体。自然不会出现什么排斥。”
The battle between Taiyi and his avatar was chaos, while the battle between Lian Shan and Gui Hai was still in a state of calm.
“ xiāng fǎn ， zhèng hǎo shì bù tóng shí jiān duàn shān hǎi de wǒ men xiāng yù ， biàn huì hé yī yī yàng 。 xīn jiù liǎng dào xuán jī huán zhè bān jiē qià zhī zhōng ， fǎn dào huì zhú jiàn róng hé yī tǐ 。”
“相反，正好似不同时间段山海的我们相遇，便会合一一样。新旧两道璇玑环这般接洽之中，反倒会逐渐融合一体。”
However, countless hidden currents swirled around, creating deadly rivalries.
“ dāng rán ， zhè yě shì yīn wèi jiù huán shī qù le sān shèng zhǔ zǎi ， qún lóng wú shǒu zhī gù 。” shǒu qiū gōng jiě shì dào 。
“当然，这也是因为旧环失去了三圣主宰，群龙无首之故。”守丘公解释道。
Taiyi's battle was still at a stalemate.
lǐ fán mī zhuó yǎn jīng ， yě shì màn màn fǎn yìng le guò lái ：“ shàng yī shì wǒ shì guān mó xuán jī huán ér wù shén zhī yǐng ， dàn cǐ shì què shì fǎn guò lái ， tōng guò xuán jī huán xiāng hé ， fǎn bǔ sān shèng duì shén zhī yǐng de gǎn wù 。”
李凡眯着眼睛，也是慢慢反应了过来：“上一世我是观摩璇玑环而悟神之影，但此世却是反过来，通过璇玑环相合，反哺三圣对神之影的感悟。”
But for Lian Shan and Gui Hai, it had reached its critical juncture.
“ wú yí gèng jiā chún cuì 、 jù tǐ xǔ duō 。”
“无疑更加纯粹、具体许多。”
Feeling Li Fan's confusion, Shi Chou explained: "The struggle between the Two Sages and their avatars can be seen as a contest of Daoist traditions."
shǒu qiū yě tí xǐng dào ：“ zhēn shén zhī xià ， gè yǒu suǒ wù 。 sān shèng suǒ sī suǒ xiǎng ， yě jiù wèi bì shèng guò wú děng 。 zhǐ néng zuò wéi jiè jiàn cān kǎo ， hái shì xū wéi chí běn wǒ tè sè cái shì 。”
守丘也提醒道：“真神之下，各有所悟。三圣所思所想，也就未必胜过吾等。只能作为借鉴参考，还是需维持本我特色才是。”
"Why Lian Shan and why Gui Hai? This is the reason they have achieved such heights. Now, this authority has been tainted by the avatar."
“ shǒu qiū suǒ yán jí shì 。” dào dé diǎn tóu zàn tóng dào 。
“守丘所言极是。”道德点头赞同道。
"Involving one's own power's survival, it's far more perilous than ordinary battles!"
sān rén zhōng tā suī shí lì zuì ruò 、 yuè lì zuì shǎo ， dàn néng xiǎng chū dào dé fēn jiā zhī shù ， lìng pì xī jìng chéng shèng zhī fǎ ， dào dé de wù xìng yě jué duì shì shān hǎi zuì dǐng jiān de nà yī pī 。
三人中他虽实力最弱、阅历最少，但能想出道德分家之术，另辟蹊径成圣之法，道德的悟性也绝对是山海最顶尖的那一批。
"Look there!"
rú jīn tóng shí dé shǒu qiū màn cháng shēng píng jīng lì yǐ jí zhēn jiǎ dà dào gǎn wù 。 shí lì yě shì měi shí měi kè dōu zài tū fēi měng jìn ， shèn zhì shì sān rén zhōng shí lì fú dù zēng zhǎng zuì duō de yī wèi 。
如今同时得守丘漫长生平经历以及真假大道感悟。实力也是每时每刻都在突飞猛进，甚至是三人中实力幅度增长最多的一位。
Following Shi Chou's direction, Li Fan saw several currents being swallowed by other vortices.
yóu qí shì duì dào dé fēn jiā hòu hù xiāng tūn shì de guò chéng ， pǒ yǒu xīn dé 。 cǐ kè zhǔ dǎo qǐ xuán jī huán hé bìng ， gèng shì yóu rèn yǒu yú 。
尤其是对道德分家后互相吞噬的过程，颇有心得。此刻主导起璇玑环合并，更是游刃有余。
A small change in the battlefield led to a cascade of effects, dramatically altering the entire war.
qiè jī zhū shèng zhù shì zhī xià ， shuāng huán zhú jiàn hé bìng 。
窃机诸圣注视之下，双环逐渐合并。
In an instant, the battle scene underwent intense and infinite changes, leaving Li Fan slightly dizzy.
dài biǎo sān shèng wǎng rì róng guāng de nà dào shú xī bái quān ， jiàn jiàn bèi xīn shēng zhī huán de guāng yǐng chè dǐ yā zhì 。
代表三圣往日荣光的那道熟悉白圈，渐渐被新生之环的光影彻底压制。
"Every change can be seen as possible evolutions of the Sea and Mountains over time."
zòng shǐ zhū shèng yī jiù zuò zhèn xuán jī hái zhēn ， dàn tā men zhī dào ， yǒu xiē dōng xī yǐ rán biàn le 。
纵使诸圣依旧坐镇璇玑还真，但他们知道，有些东西已然变了。
Taiyi used Primordial Heaven as his core doctrine, while Lian Shan and Gui Hai treated the entire Sea and Mountains as their own Daoist sanctuaries! Shi Chou expressed genuine admiration mixed with excitement.
“ chú le zuì chū rù zuò de sān zhǔ dǎo wèi zhī wài ， qí yú suī réng néng shòu dào 【 tóng xīn tóng dé 】 yǐng xiǎng ， xiào yòng què dà dǎ zhé kòu 。”
“除了最初入座的三主导位之外，其余虽仍能受到【同心同德】影响，效用却大打折扣。”
"But this is just a surface phenomenon!"
“ dāng rán ， yòng lái dá chéng wú děng jì huà ， yǐ jīng shì chuò chuò yǒu yú le 。”
“当然，用来达成吾等计划，已经是绰绰有余了。”
"The endless changes in the Sea and Mountains are manifestations of the Two Sages' power. But what's at the root of all these changes?"
“ dào dé zuò zhèn shān hǎi ， wǒ gēn fán dào yǒu qián rù xū jiè zhī zhōng 。 jiàn jī xíng shì 。”
“道德坐镇山海，我跟凡道友潜入虚界之中。见机行事。”
Shi Chou tried to find the core amidst the chaotic currents, even though it was difficult to discern.
cóng gèng gǔ xū jiè chuán lái de zhèn zhèn lìng rén xīn jì de bō dòng ， yù fā pín fā 。
从更古虚界传来的阵阵令人心悸的波动，愈发频发。
Although Li Fan couldn't see the true nature of their battle, he could sense the increasing intensity from the frequent mergers and competitions.
sì hū liù shèng áo dòu kuài dào le guān jiàn shí kè 。
似乎六圣鏖斗快到了关键时刻。
Occasionally, the Sea and Mountains' mournful cries echoed in his ears.
lǐ fán tā men bù zài dān gē ， zhǐ liú xià liǎng dào xū yǐng 。 běn zūn zé shì yī tóng qián rù xū jiè ， shùn zhe bō dòng chuán lái de fāng xiàng xiǎo xīn qián xíng 。
李凡他们不再耽搁，只留下两道虚影。本尊则是一同潜入虚界，顺着波动传来的方向小心前行。
"The foundations of Lian Shan and Gui Hai's Sea and Mountains are beginning to be damaged."
“ wǒ zhǐ yǒu 【 bēng shān hǎi 】 yī jī zhī lì ， kě zài guān jiàn shí kè shǐ chū 。 qí yú kǒng pà yào yǎng zhàng shǒu qiū nǐ le 。” lǐ fán shí fēn yǒu shù de shuō dào 。
“我只有【崩山海】一击之力，可在关键时刻使出。其余恐怕要仰仗守丘你了。”李凡十分有数的说道。
"Like armor gradually wearing down. Focusing your mind might reveal their true forms!"
tóng shí ， yǐn dòng xū jiè zhōng wú shù yū jī zhēn líng ， fù gài zhōu zāo 、 yǐ zuò yǎn shì 。
同时，引动虚界中无数淤积真灵，覆盖周遭、以作掩饰。
Shi Chou's reminder brought Li Fan back to focus.
yū jī zhēn líng céng céng huán rào ， jiāng èr rén qì xī chè dǐ zhē bì 。
淤积真灵层层环绕，将二人气息彻底遮蔽。
Time seemed to stand still as he scanned the countless intersecting lines before him.
qiāo wú shēng xī dùn zǒu zài xū jiè zhī nèi 。
悄无声息遁走在虚界之内。
Slowly, it felt like these chaotic lines were coming alive.
“ nǐ nà yī shì bēng shān hǎi ， wéi yǒu zài zuì guān jiàn shí kè shǐ chū ， cái néng fā huī zuì dà miào yòng 。”
“你那一式崩山海，唯有在最关键时刻使出，才能发挥最大妙用。”
Every change in a line seemed to represent something that once existed in the Sea and Mountains...
“ qiě nài xīn děng dài biàn shì 。 qí yú shí kè ……”
“且耐心等待便是。其余时刻……”
Civilizations!
“ jiāo gěi wǒ jiù hǎo 。”
“交给我就好。”
The endless ancient history of the Sea and Mountains saw countless civilizations rise and fall.
shǒu qiū yán yǔ zhōng ， wú xíng tòu lòu chū yī gǔ qiáng dà de zì xìn 。
守丘言语中，无形透漏出一股强大的自信。
Each civilization's appearance and disappearance left no trace but subtly carved ripples on the surface, leaving indelible marks.
jiāo liú jiān ， què shì yǐ jīng jù lí liù shèng áo dòu de xiàn chǎng yuè lái yuè jìn le 。
交流间，却是已经距离六圣鏖斗的现场越来越近了。
The Sea and Mountains had their own vague consciousness.
yū jī zhēn líng ， wǎn ruò bèi jīng qǐ làng cháo ， qǐ fú bù dìng 。
淤积真灵，宛若被惊起浪潮，起伏不定。
They naturally sensed these civilizations born within them.
xū jiè zhōng sì hū yǒu páng rán jù wù zài xīng fēng zuò làng ， yǐn dé dòng dàng yī piàn 。
虚界中似乎有庞然巨物在兴风作浪，引得动荡一片。
"The Sea and Mountains are formless, yet they transform."
lǐ fán shǒu qiū yù fā xiǎo xīn qián jìn ， shì xiàn zhōng zhōng yú chū xiàn le sān shēng 。
李凡守丘愈发小心前进，视线中终于出现了三生。
Li Fan suddenly understood.
zhǔn què de shuō ， shì tài yì ， hé tā de xū jiè huà shēn ！
准确的说，是太易，和他的虚界化身！
"After the Sea and Mountains separated into forms, they evolved into what we see today. Their immense power might have been influenced by these civilizations?"
tài yì shén qíng yán sù ， gēn lǐ fán píng cháng suǒ jiàn bìng wú bù tóng 。 zhǐ shì yī shān yǒu xiē zhě zhòu ， sì hū bèi bī pò de yǒu xiē láng bèi 。
太易神情严肃，跟李凡平常所见并无不同。只是衣衫有些褶皱，似乎被逼迫的有些狼狈。
"Drop by drop, rope by rope, each civilization's impact is small but accumulates to significantly affect the entire Sea and Mountains!"
ér nà xū jiè huà shēn ……
而那虚界化身……
"But what is the source of all these changes?"
shēn xíng 、 xiàng mào 、 qì xī ， jiē gēn běn zūn wú yì 。 zhǐ shì zài shēn qū zhī wài ， hǎo sì gài shàng le yī céng huì àn de méng bǎn ， zhěng gè rén fǎng fú chù zài yīn yǐng zhī zhōng 。
身形、相貌、气息，皆跟本尊无异。只是在身躯之外，好似盖上了一层晦暗的蒙板，整个人仿佛处在阴影之中。
Li Fan, like Shi Chou, felt a mysterious question arise.
miàn róng bīng lěng ， bù dài rèn hé biǎo qíng 。
面容冰冷，不带任何表情。
In this endless stream of lines, he sought answers, almost forgetting his surroundings. He was just a pure seeker of knowledge.
yǎn lǐ zhǐ yǒu běn zūn tài yì yī rén ， shì yào jiāng qí jī shā 。
眼里只有本尊太易一人，誓要将其击杀。
The vast ancient aura of the Sea and Mountains seemed to wash over him as if he had returned to its origins.
tài yì gēn qí xū jiè huà shēn de dòu fǎ jǐng xiàng ， yě shì pǒ wèi xuán miào 。
太易跟其虚界化身的斗法景象，也是颇为玄妙。
The words of Sun Pi Xiao's fairy tale about the Sea and Mountains echoed in his mind.
bù jǐn jǐn zhǐ shì tā men èr rén ， hái yǒu liǎng chù wú biān wú yá de shì jiè ， yǐ jí qí nèi wú jìn shēng líng ， dōu cān yù qí zhōng 。
不仅仅只是他们二人，还有两处无边无涯的世界，以及其内无尽生灵，都参与其中。
"The original Sea and Mountains were not interconnected but separated."
liǎng dà shì jiè xiāng hù róng hé ， jiāo jiè zhī chù yě jiù shì zuì wèi xuè xīng de zhàn chǎng suǒ zài 。
两大世界相互融合，交界之处也就是最为血腥的战场所在。
"Lifeforms emerged from the sea, yearning for the mountains. Thus, they attempted to climb them."
“ shǒu qiū kě zēng kàn chū xuán xū ？” lǐ fán wèn dào 。
“守丘可曾看出玄虚？”李凡问道。
"While such transgressions were quickly met with death by the mountains,..."
“ nà yīng shì …… tài chū xiān jiè 。” shǒu qiū guān mó le yī zhèn ， hū de shuō dào 。
“那应是……太初仙界。”守丘观摩了一阵，忽的说道。
"Explorations of the sea continued unabated."
“ tài chū xiān jiè ？”
“太初仙界？”
"Resulting in today's Sea and Mountains."
“ dāng rán bìng bú shì shān hǎi céng jīng cún zài guò de nà ge 。 gèng zhǔn què diǎn shuō ， shì tài yì tǐ nèi yǎn huà 、 jī hū gēn yuán běn yī mú yī yàng de fān bǎn tài chū xiān jiè 。 yǐ tài yì zhī lì ， zhòng yǎn shān hǎi xiān tiān zào huà ……”
“当然并不是山海曾经存在过的那个。更准确点说，是太易体内衍化、几乎跟原本一模一样的翻版太初仙界。以太易之力，重衍山海先天造化……”
"Why Lian Shan and Gui Hai...?"
“ ér zhè shì jiè zhōng suǒ xiǎn huà shēng líng ， yīng gāi jiù shì céng jīng bèi tài yì shā sǐ de nà xiē 。 zǎo yǐ jīng xiāo shī zài shān hǎi lì shǐ cháng hé zhī zhōng ， dàn zhèng yīn wèi bèi tài yì suǒ zhū ， fǎn dào néng liú xià le yī lǚ yìn jì 。”
“而这世界中所显化生灵，应该就是曾经被太易杀死的那些。早已经消失在山海历史长河之中，但正因为被太易所诛，反倒能留下了一缕印记。”
Li Fan suddenly felt as if he had glimpsed the true forms of Lian Shan and Gui Hai!
If the Six Sages' battle is nearing its critical moment, we shouldn't delay any longer. We'll only leave two virtual shadows behind and dive into the Void Realm with our true forms following the direction of the fluctuations.
"Only my 'Mountain Collapse' can be used at a crucial moment," Li Fan said confidently. At the same time, he activated countless true spirits in the Void Realm to cover their presence as a disguise.
The accumulated true spirits surrounded them, completely concealing their aura and allowing them to move silently within the Void Realm.
"Your 'Mountain Collapse' must only be used at the most critical moment to maximize its effect."
"Just wait for now. At other times..."
"I'll handle it," said Shi Chou with an unshakable confidence in his words.
As they communicated, they drew closer to the scene of the battle among the Six Sages.
The accumulated true spirits seemed like a rising tide, causing ripples and disturbances within the Void Realm.
Li Fan and Shi Chou moved cautiously. Their vision finally caught sight of Taiyi and his Void Realm avatar!
Taiyi's expression was serious, just as Li Fan had seen before, though his clothes were slightly disheveled, suggesting he was under pressure.
The Void Realm avatar...
Its form, appearance, and aura were identical to the original. However, it seemed covered by a layer of obscurity, making it appear as if it existed in shadow.
Its face was cold, devoid of any expression, with eyes fixed solely on Taiyi, vowing to kill him.
The battle between Taiyi and his avatar was fascinating.
Not only were they fighting, but two vast worlds and their endless inhabitants were also involved. The fusion of these two worlds created the most brutal battlefield at their intersection.
"Can you see through the complexity?" Li Fan asked Shi Chou.
"That should be... Primordial Heaven," Shi Chou observed after a while.
"Primordial Heaven?"
"Not the one that once existed in the Sea and Mountains, but rather a replica of it. Taiyi has re-created the original Primordial Heaven with his power to reshape the world..."
"The spirits manifested here are likely those killed by Taiyi, long vanished from history, yet their existence is a testament to being slain."
Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he recalled Taiyi's holy artifact, the All-Born Staff.
"Among the Three Sages, this one indeed has the most ruthless nature."
Looking at the Primordial Heaven scene, Li Fan saw several primordial spirits with unique auras. Among them were "Primordial," "Primordial Origin," "Primordial Essence," and "Primordial Unity."
"The true form of Taiyi is truly extraordinary."
While Taiyi was formidable, his Void Realm avatar perfectly replicated him.
The manifested Primordial Heaven scene was identical to the original.
Moreover, as an inhabitant of the endless Void Realm, it had a home-field advantage with infinite sources of power and could withstand any消耗 without fear. Thus, in the battle, it seemed to gain the upper hand.
However, the stalemate continued, and Taiyi's defeat was still far from certain.
Li Fan began searching for Lian Shan and Gui Hai.
"Why can't we see them even though their battle ripples are so strong?" Li Fan pondered aloud, feeling puzzled.
Shi Chou looked towards a distance with an increasingly serious expression.
"Within the Sea and Mountains, it's hard to see the Sea and Mountains. These two have already revealed themselves."
Following Shi Chou's guidance, Li Fan's vision of the Void Realm changed dramatically!
In what seemed like a void of darkness, countless turbulent currents surged.
Sometimes they intertwined and clashed, other times they flowed separately.
Despite their chaotic appearance, four core points surrounded them: Lian Shan, Gui Hai, and their avatars.
The battle between Taiyi and his avatar was chaos, while the battle between Lian Shan and Gui Hai was still in a state of calm.
However, countless hidden currents swirled around, creating deadly rivalries.
Taiyi's battle was still at a stalemate.
But for Lian Shan and Gui Hai, it had reached its critical juncture.
Feeling Li Fan's confusion, Shi Chou explained: "The struggle between the Two Sages and their avatars can be seen as a contest of Daoist traditions."
"Why Lian Shan and why Gui Hai? This is the reason they have achieved such heights. Now, this authority has been tainted by the avatar."
"Involving one's own power's survival, it's far more perilous than ordinary battles!"
"Look there!"
Following Shi Chou's direction, Li Fan saw several currents being swallowed by other vortices.
A small change in the battlefield led to a cascade of effects, dramatically altering the entire war.
In an instant, the battle scene underwent intense and infinite changes, leaving Li Fan slightly dizzy.
"Every change can be seen as possible evolutions of the Sea and Mountains over time."
Taiyi used Primordial Heaven as his core doctrine, while Lian Shan and Gui Hai treated the entire Sea and Mountains as their own Daoist sanctuaries! Shi Chou expressed genuine admiration mixed with excitement.
"But this is just a surface phenomenon!"
"The endless changes in the Sea and Mountains are manifestations of the Two Sages' power. But what's at the root of all these changes?"
Shi Chou tried to find the core amidst the chaotic currents, even though it was difficult to discern.
Although Li Fan couldn't see the true nature of their battle, he could sense the increasing intensity from the frequent mergers and competitions.
Occasionally, the Sea and Mountains' mournful cries echoed in his ears.
"The foundations of Lian Shan and Gui Hai's Sea and Mountains are beginning to be damaged."
"Like armor gradually wearing down. Focusing your mind might reveal their true forms!"
Shi Chou's reminder brought Li Fan back to focus.
Time seemed to stand still as he scanned the countless intersecting lines before him.
Slowly, it felt like these chaotic lines were coming alive.
Every change in a line seemed to represent something that once existed in the Sea and Mountains...
Civilizations!
The endless ancient history of the Sea and Mountains saw countless civilizations rise and fall.
Each civilization's appearance and disappearance left no trace but subtly carved ripples on the surface, leaving indelible marks.
The Sea and Mountains had their own vague consciousness.
They naturally sensed these civilizations born within them.
"The Sea and Mountains are formless, yet they transform."
Li Fan suddenly understood.
"After the Sea and Mountains separated into forms, they evolved into what we see today. Their immense power might have been influenced by these civilizations?"
"Drop by drop, rope by rope, each civilization's impact is small but accumulates to significantly affect the entire Sea and Mountains!"
"But what is the source of all these changes?"
Li Fan, like Shi Chou, felt a mysterious question arise.
In this endless stream of lines, he sought answers, almost forgetting his surroundings. He was just a pure seeker of knowledge.
The vast ancient aura of the Sea and Mountains seemed to wash over him as if he had returned to its origins.
The words of Sun Pi Xiao's fairy tale about the Sea and Mountains echoed in his mind.
"The original Sea and Mountains were not interconnected but separated."
"Lifeforms emerged from the sea, yearning for the mountains. Thus, they attempted to climb them."
"While such transgressions were quickly met with death by the mountains,..."
"Explorations of the sea continued unabated."
"Resulting in today's Sea and Mountains."
"Why Lian Shan and Gui Hai...?"
Li Fan suddenly felt as if he had glimpsed the true forms of Lian Shan and Gui Hai!
