kàn zhe lǐ fán yǎn zhōng de mí huò ， bù děng tā fā wèn ， chén yīng biàn jiē zhe jiě shì qǐ lái 。
看着李凡眼中的迷惑，不等他发问，陈英便接着解释起来。
Looking into Li Fan's puzzled eyes, Chen Ying didn't wait for him to ask and continued explaining.
“ yǔn xiān jìng wèi shén me jiào yǔn xiān jìng ？”
“陨仙境为什么叫陨仙境？”
"Why is the Realm of Fallen Immortals called the Realm of Fallen Immortals?"
“ shì yīn wèi ， tā de xíng chéng ， zhǐ shì mǒu gè qiáng hèng de wú fǎ xiǎng xiàng de cún zài ， zài yǔn luò qián ， zuì hòu kàn le yī yǎn xuán huáng jiè 。”
“是因为，它的形成，只是某个强横的无法想象的存在，在陨落前，最后看了一眼玄黄界。”
"It's because its formation was due to a powerful entity that couldn’t be imagined in its final moments before falling. It looked at everything within the Xuanhuang Realm."
“ dāng shí xuán huáng jiè zhōng de yī qiè shì wù jǐng xiàng ， dōu bèi qí kàn zài yǎn zhōng 。”
“当时玄黄界中的一切事物景象，都被其看在眼中。”
"After it fell, this intent lingered for thousands of years, evolving and eventually forming the current Realm of Fallen Immortals."
“ tā yǔn luò hòu ， zhè gǔ yì niàn jiǔ jiǔ bù sàn 。 jīng guò shù qiān nián de fā zhǎn 、 yǎn huà ， zuì zhōng xíng chéng le rú jīn de yǔn xiān jìng 。”
“他陨落后，这股意念久久不散。经过数千年的发展、衍化，最终形成了如今的陨仙境。”
"The Realm of Fallen Immortals is as vast as the Xuanhuang Realm, even surpassing it in size."
“ yǔn xiān jìng hé xuán huáng jiè yì bān páng dà ， shèn zhì hái yào chāo chū 。”
“陨仙境和玄黄界一般庞大，甚至还要超出。”
"Scenes from thousands of years ago were recorded by its final glance before falling. These scenes replay endlessly within the realm."
“ shù qiān nián qián yí mù mù chǎng jǐng ， bèi tā yǔn luò qián de zuì hòu yī yǎn jì lù 。”
“数千年前一幕幕场景，被他陨落前的最后一眼记录。”
"All cultivators who enter are awed and moved by this magnificent wonder that mirrors reality. It's hard to fathom the power of such an existence."
“ suí hòu xǔ xǔ rú shēng de zài qí zhōng bù duàn chóng fù shàng yǎn 。”
“随后栩栩如生的在其中不断重复上演。”
"This kind of strength can only be attributed to true immortals as described in ancient legends."
“ suǒ yǒu jìn rù qí zhōng de xiū shì ， zài zhè hé zhēn shí shì jiè yì bān wú èr de guī lì qí jì miàn qián ， dū huì zhèn jīng hé gǎn kǎi nà wèi cún zài de qiáng dà 。”
“所有进入其中的修士，在这和真实世界一般无二的瑰丽奇迹面前，都会震惊和感慨那位存在的强大。”
"Even though I've entered countless times, each time witnessing the Realm of Fallen Immortals still fills me with genuine reverence."
“ zhè zhǒng lì liàng ， kǒng pà wéi yǒu shàng gǔ chuán shuō zhōng de 【 xiān 】， cái néng zuò dào le 。”
“这种力量，恐怕唯有上古传说中的【仙】，才能做到了。”
"The awe is indescribable. Only by seeing it firsthand can one truly understand."
“ nǎ pà wǒ yǐ jīng jìn rù qí zhōng bù zhī dào duō shǎo cì le ， dàn měi cì zài mù dǔ yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de yī qiè shí hòu ， yī rán huì gǎn dào yóu zhōng de jìng wèi 。”
“哪怕我已经进入其中不知道多少次了，但每次在目睹陨仙境中的一切时候，依然会感到由衷的敬畏。”
Shaking his head, Chen Ying said with profound emotion.
“ qí zhōng zhèn hàn ， shí zài yòng yán yǔ wú fǎ biǎo dá 。 wéi yǒu qīn yǎn suǒ jiàn ， fāng cái néng míng bái 。”
“其中震撼，实在用言语无法表达。唯有亲眼所见，方才能明白。”
"A glance through eons, a fall to form its own world." Li Fan was equally stunned by this incredible fact.
chén yīng yáo yáo tóu ， gǎn kǎi wàn fēn dào 。
陈英摇摇头，感慨万分道。
Silence lingered for a long time before he pondered again.
“ yī yǎn yìng wàn nián ， yǔn hòu zì chéng jiè 。” lǐ fán yě bù yóu dì bèi zhè bù kě sī yì de shì shí gěi zhèn zhù le 。
“一眼映万年，陨后自成界。”李凡也不由地被这不可思议的事实给震住了。
Just one final glance before death had such power.
chén mò xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， tā yòu bù jīn xiǎng dào 。
沉默许久之后，他又不禁想到。
What kind of strength did it possess in life?
jǐn jǐn shì sǐ qián yī yǎn ， jiù yǒu rú cǐ wēi shì 。
仅仅是死前一眼，就有如此威势。
How could such an entity fall?
tā shēng qián ， yòu jiū jìng yǒu duō qiáng ？
他生前，又究竟有多强？
It seemed Chen Ying sensed Li Fan's doubts and sighed along with him.
zhè děng rén wù ， yòu zěn me huì yǔn luò ne ？
这等人物，又怎么会陨落呢？
"Unbelievable, isn't it? Such powerful beings that can’t be imagined actually fell."
sì hū shì kàn chū le lǐ fán xīn zhōng de yí huò ， chén yīng yě gēn zhe gǎn tàn dào 。
似乎是看出了李凡心中的疑惑，陈英也跟着感叹道。
"A single thought creates a world. Even the Eternal Heaven Sovereign might not have achieved this."
“ bù kě sī yì ba ？ zhè děng qiáng hèng de bù kě xiǎng xiàng de rén wù ， jū rán yě huì yǔn luò 。”
“不可思议吧？这等强横的不可想象的人物，居然也会陨落。”
"So everyone agrees that the one who fell must have been a True Immortal."
“ yī niàn shēng shì jiè ， nǎ pà shì cháng shēng tiān zūn ， kǒng pà yě zuò bú dào zhè diǎn 。”
“一念生世界，哪怕是长生天尊，恐怕也做不到这点。”
"Immortals? Do true immortals really exist?" Li Fan asked.
“ suǒ yǐ ， dà jiā dōu yí zhì rèn wéi ， dāng chū yǔn luò de zhè wèi ， kǒng pà shì yī wèi zhēn xiān 。”
“所以，大家都一致认为，当初陨落的这位，恐怕是一位真仙。”
Chen Ying was very certain: "Cultivation, cultivation. If there were no immortals, where would our cultivation methods come from?"
“ xiān ？ zhēn de yǒu suǒ wèi xiān cún zài me ？” lǐ fán bù yóu dì wèn dào 。
“仙？真的有所谓仙存在么？”李凡不由地问道。
"If you could enter the Realm of Fallen Immortals and live in the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years, you'd know that immortals are not just a vague concept."
chén yīng què shì shí fēn dǔ dìng ：“ xiū xiān xiū xiān 。 ruò shì méi yǒu xiān ， wǒ děng xiū xíng zhī fǎ ， yòu cóng hé lái ？”
陈英却是十分笃定：“修仙修仙。若是没有仙，我等修行之法，又从何来？”
"Many sects have records of seniors breaking through the劫clouds to ascend during the day."
“ nǐ ruò shì néng qián wǎng yǔn xiān jiè ， shēng huó zài nà shù qiān nián de xuán huáng jiè zhōng 。 biàn huì zhī dào ， xiān ， cóng lái dōu bú shì shén me xū wú piāo miǎo zhī shuō 。”
“你若是能前往陨仙界，生活在那数千年的玄黄界中。便会知道，仙，从来都不是什么虚无缥缈之说。”
"Some even claim that some major sects possess immortal artifacts with boundless power passed down by immortals."
“ bù shǎo mén pài nèi ， dōu liú yǒu zōng mén qián bèi pò kāi jié yún ， bái rì fēi shēng de huà miàn 。”
“不少门派内，都留有宗门前辈破开劫云，白日飞升的画面。”
"But from somewhere, the path to immortality was cut off. Once reaching the realm of union, no further progress could be made."
“ jù shuō shèn zhì hái yǒu yī xiē dà pài nèi bù ， cún yǒu xiān rén chuán xià de xiān qì ， wēi néng wú qióng 。”
“据说甚至还有一些大派内部，存有仙人传下的仙器，威能无穷。”
"So countless cultivators with supreme cultivation could only watch their lifespans dwindle in fear and despair."
“ zhǐ bù guò ， bù zhī cóng hé shí qǐ 。 xiān lù duàn jué ， xiū wèi dào dá hé dào jìng jiè hòu ， jiù bù néng cùn jìn bàn bù 。”
“只不过，不知从何时起。仙路断绝，修为到达合道境界后，就不能寸进半步。”
"Later, for self-preservation, the ultimate goal of cultivation became seeking eternal life instead of ascension."
“ yú shì ， wú shù xiū wèi tōng tiān de xiū shì ， què yě zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe zì jǐ shòu yuán hào jìn ， huáng kǒng děng sǐ 。”
“于是，无数修为通天的修士，却也只能眼睁睁的看着自己寿元耗尽，惶恐等死。”
"This is how the Realm of Eternal Life came to be."
“ hòu lái ， wèi qiú zì bǎo 。 xiū shì men de zuì zhōng xiū xíng mù biāo bù zài shì fēi shēng ， ér shì qù qiú cháng shēng 。”
“后来，为求自保。修士们的最终修行目标不再是飞升，而是去求长生。”
Shaking his head, Chen Ying sighed. "This history is too distant. Even in the Realm of Fallen Immortals a few thousand years ago, it was just a legend. So no one knows what truly happened or why the path to immortality suddenly ended."
“ zhè yě shì 【 cháng shēng 】 yī jìng de yóu lái 。”
“这也是【长生】一境的由来。”
Li Fan nodded slowly.
chén yīng shuō zhe ， yě yáo tóu tàn qì dào ：“ zhè duàn lì shǐ tài guò jiǔ yuǎn 。 nǎ pà zài shù qiān nián qián de yǔn xiān jìng ， yě zhǐ shì chuán shuō yì bān de cún zài 。 suǒ yǐ dāng nián dào dǐ fā shēng le hé shì ， xiān lù wèi hé tū rán duàn jué 。 zǎo yǐ jīng shì wú rén zhī xiǎo le 。”
陈英说着，也摇头叹气道：“这段历史太过久远。哪怕在数千年前的陨仙境，也只是传说一般的存在。所以当年到底发生了何事，仙路为何突然断绝。早已经是无人知晓了。”
Next, Chen Ying detailed how to enter the Realm of Fallen Immortals and the precautions needed while exploring there.
lǐ fán huǎn huǎn diǎn tóu 。
李凡缓缓点头。
"Remember, don't try unless you're at least at the Golden Core realm!"
jiē xià lái ， chén yīng yòu bǎ jù tǐ rú hé jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng de fāng shì ， yǐ jí zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng tàn suǒ xū yào zhù yì de shì xiàng ， dōu xiáng xì de gào sù le lǐ fán 。
接下来，陈英又把具体如何进入陨仙境的方式，以及在陨仙境中探索需要注意的事项，都详细的告诉了李凡。
Before leaving, he reminded Li Fan again.
“ jì zhù ， bú dào jīn dān jìng ， qiān wàn bú yào cháng shì ！”
“记住，不到金丹境，千万不要尝试！”
Li Fan readily agreed.
lí kāi zhī qián ， chén yīng zài cì dīng zhǔ dào 。
离开之前，陈英再次叮嘱道。
Chen Ying hurried back home to refine his elixir formulas and returned to the Ten Thousand Immortal Island first.
lǐ fán mǎn kǒu dā yìng 。
李凡满口答应。
Li Fan also didn’t delay, rushing back to the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror.
zhī hòu ， chén yīng zháo jí huí qù yán jiū gǎi liáng dān fāng ， xiān xíng yī bù ， fǎn huí le wàn xiān dǎo 。
之后，陈英着急回去研究改良丹方，先行一步，返回了万仙岛。
Knowing how incredible the Realm of Fallen Immortals was, Li Fan couldn't resist trying it out.
ér lǐ fán yě shì bù dān gē ， jí sù fǎn huí ， lái dào le tiān xuán jìng zhōng 。
而李凡也是不耽搁，急速返回，来到了天玄镜中。
After all, his spiritual awareness, having experienced countless lifetimes, far exceeded that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
jì rán zhī dào le yǔn xiān jìng zhè me shén qí de cún zài ， lǐ fán yòu zěn me kě néng bù qù cháng shì xià 。
既然知道了陨仙境这么神奇的存在，李凡又怎么可能不去尝试下。
Still, for safety, he tested himself in the mirror.
yào zhī dào ， jīng lì bǎi shì lún huí ， tā de shén shí qiáng dù ， kě bú shì pǔ tōng de zhù jī qī néng bǐ de 。
要知道，经历百世轮回，他的神识强度，可不是普通的筑基期能比的。
The surroundings changed, and suddenly, straw men appeared.
bù guò ， bǎo xiǎn qǐ jiàn ， lǐ fán hái shì zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng zuò le yī fān cè shì 。
不过，保险起见，李凡还是在天玄镜中做了一番测试。
Li Fan’s spiritual awareness pierced through these sequentially appearing straw men.
zhōu wéi chǎng jǐng biàn huàn ， hū dì chū xiàn le yí gè gè cǎo rén 。
周围场景变幻，忽地出现了一个个草人。
Struck by his spiritual awareness, the originally withered straw men turned color—yellow to green to blue.
lǐ fán shén shí rú jiàn ， hěn hěn dì zhā xiàng zhè xiē cì dì chū xiàn de cǎo rén 。
李凡神识如箭，狠狠地扎向这些次第出现的草人。
Once all were colored, they vanished collectively.
bèi shén shí jī zhòng ， yuán běn kū huáng de cǎo rén dùn shí biàn le yán sè 。
被神识击中，原本枯黄的草人顿时变了颜色。
The scene reset. Soon after, test results came in.
yóu huáng biàn lǜ zài biàn lán 。
由黄变绿再便蓝。
Li Fan's current spiritual awareness was equivalent to late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
dāng suǒ yǒu cǎo rén dōu bèi rǎn shàng sè zhī hòu ， tā men yòu dōu jí tǐ xiāo shī 。
当所有草人都被染上色之后，它们又都集体消失。
"Is my spiritual awareness a whole realm stronger than my cultivation?" Li Fan wasn't surprised.
chǎng jǐng fù yuán ， mò guò duō jiǔ ， cè yàn jié guǒ chū lái le 。
场景复原，没过多久，测验结果出来了。
"So there’s no need to worry about insufficient spiritual awareness."
lǐ fán mù qián de shén shí qiáng dù ， xiāng dāng yú pǔ tōng xiū shì jīn dān hòu qī 。
李凡目前的神识强度，相当于普通修士金丹后期。
"In the Realm of Fallen Immortals, time flows differently from reality. Different regions have varying rates of time flow."
“ shén shí bǐ xiū wèi qiáng le yí gè dà jìng jiè me ……” lǐ fán yě méi yǒu duō shǎo yì wài 。
“神识比修为强了一个大境界么……”李凡也没有多少意外。
"But overall, it's much faster than real life."
“ rú cǐ yī lái ， biàn méi yǒu shén shí qiáng dù bù gòu de gù lǜ le 。”
“如此一来，便没有神识强度不够的顾虑了。”
"Each visit to the Realm of Fallen Immortals starts at a random location."
“ yǔn xiān jìng zhōng ， shí jiān liú sù hé xiàn shí shì jiè bù yī zhì 。 shèn zhì yǔn xiān jìng bù tóng de dì yù ， shí jiān liú sù yě dōu bù jìn xiāng tóng 。”
“陨仙境中，时间流速和现实世界不一致。甚至陨仙境不同的地域，时间流速也都不尽相同。”
"Therefore, different experiences await."
“ dàn zǒng de lái shuō ， yào bǐ xiàn shí shì jiè kuài shàng xǔ duō 。”
“但总的来说，要比现实世界快上许多。”
"Some areas repeatedly cycle through scenes from thousands of years ago, resetting periodically."
“ měi cì qián wǎng yǔn xiān jìng ， chū xiàn de wèi zhì dōu shì suí jī de 。”
“每次前往陨仙境，出现的位置都是随机的。”
"While others develop over millennia into various strange and wondrous changes."
“ suǒ yǐ huì yǒu bù tóng de zāo yù 。”
“所以会有不同的遭遇。”
"In short, this world is formed by the entity's final consciousness. So anything unbelievable could happen here."
“ yǒu de shì zài shù qiān nián jiān ， bù duàn lún huí chóng fù dāng chū de nà duàn lì shǐ 。 měi guò yī duàn shí jiān ， qū yù nèi de chǎng jǐng dū huì zhòng zhì 。”
“有的是在数千年间，不断轮回重复当初的那段历史。每过一段时间，区域内的场景都会重置。”
"Without risk of falling, certain conditions must be met to bring items from the Realm of Fallen Immortals back to reality."
“ ér yǒu de zé shì qiān nián lái bù duàn fā zhǎn ， xíng chéng le zhǒng zhǒng guǐ jué qí miào de biàn huà 。”
“而有的则是千年来不断发展，形成了种种诡谲奇妙的变化。”
"You can forcibly exit without harm."
“ zǒng zhī ， yuán běn jiù shì yǔn luò qián de yì shí suǒ huà de shì jiè 。 suǒ yǐ ， shén me bù kě sī yì de shì qíng ， dōu yǒu kě néng zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng yù dào 。”
“总之，原本就是陨落前的意识所化的世界。所以，什么不可思议的事情，都有可能在陨仙境中遇到。”
"But like exiting with items, you need time before re-entering the Realm of Fallen Immortals."
“ méi yǒu yǔn luò de fēng xiǎn 。 bì xū mǎn zú yí dìng tiáo jiàn ， cái néng jiāng yǔn xiān jìng zhōng suǒ huò dé de wù pǐn dài huí xiàn shí 。”
“没有陨落的风险。必须满足一定条件，才能将陨仙境中所获得的物品带回现实。”
...
“ kě yǐ zhōng tú qiáng xíng tuì chū ， bú huì shòu dào shāng hài 。”
“可以中途强行退出，不会受到伤害。”
Unable to find information on the Realm of Fallen Immortals in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror, Li Fan repeated Chen Ying's exploration tips mentally.
“ dàn hé dé dào wù pǐn tuì chū hòu yī yàng ， xū yào zài guò yī duàn shí jiān ， cái néng zài cì jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng 。”
“但和得到物品退出后一样，需要再过一段时间，才能再次进入陨仙境。”
He also bought several sets of necessary items for entering the Realm of Fallen Immortals.
……
……
The set was surprisingly cheap.
méi néng zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng sōu suǒ dào yǔn xiān jìng de xiāng guān xìn xī 。
没能在天玄镜中搜索到陨仙境的相关信息。
A dozen combined didn't exceed 200 contribution points.
lǐ fán zhǐ dé yī biān jiāng chén yīng suǒ shuō de tàn suǒ zhù yì shì xiàng ， zài xīn zhōng mò mò chóng fù le yī biàn 。
李凡只得一边将陈英所说的探索注意事项，在心中默默重复了一遍。
Each set included four things: a plain robe, a full ear of grain, a small but exquisite house model, and a lifelike miniature cart.
yī biān jiāng měi cì jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng dōu xū yào de wù pǐn gòu mǎi le shí jǐ fèn 。
一边将每次进入陨仙境都需要的物品购买了十几份。
Placing each item in one corner, Li Fan took a deep breath and began the ritual:
bú shì lǐ fán piāo le ， shí zài shì zhè yī tào dōng xī tài guò pián yi 。
不是李凡飘了，实在是这一套东西太过便宜。
First step, facing the robe, he whispered softly,
shí jǐ fèn hé jì ， dōu méi yǒu chāo guò liǎng bǎi diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。
十几份合计，都没有超过两百点贡献度。
"Immortal of Xuanhuang."
měi fèn dōu shì sì yàng dōng xī 。
每份都是四样东西。
Second step, turning to the full ear of grain, he sincerely murmured,
yī jiàn pǔ tōng de má yī 。
一件普通的麻衣。
"Heavenly King of Xuanhuang."
yī zhī bǎo mǎn de dào suì 。
一支饱满的稻穗。
Third step, looking at the delicate house model, he held his breath and said in a low voice,
yī jiān xiǎo ér jīng zhì de fáng wū mó xíng 。
一间小而精致的房屋模型。
"God of Xuanhuang."
yī liàng xǔ xǔ rú shēng de wēi suō lǘ chē 。
一辆栩栩如生的微缩驴车。
Fourth step, staring at the cart seemingly loaded with goods.
sì yàng dōng xī ， fēn bié zhì yú sì gè jiǎo luò 。
四样东西，分别置于四个角落。
Li Fan exhaled, focusing as he whispered,
lǐ fán shēn xī yì kǒu qì ， dì yī bù mài chū ， miàn xiàng má yī fāng xiàng ， dī shēng sòng niàn dào ：
李凡深吸一口气，第一步迈出，面向麻衣方向，低声诵念道：
"Immortal Sovereign of Xuanhuang."
“ fú shēng xuán huáng xiān zūn 。”
“福生玄黄仙尊。”
The moment the ritual was complete, Li Fan felt an eerie silence around him.
dì èr bù ， zhuǎn xiàng bǎo mǎn de dào suì ， chéng kěn mò niàn ：
第二步，转向饱满的稻穗，诚恳默念：
Even though there had been no sounds in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror before, this silence was different—ominous and heart-stopping.
“ fú shēng xuán huáng tiān jūn 。”
“福生玄黄天君。”
Then, like a silver bottle exploding, countless noises filled his ears.
dì sān bù ， kàn zhe jīng qiǎo de fáng wū ， bǐng qì níng xī dī yǔ ：
第三步，看着精巧的房屋，屏气凝息低语：
Infant cries, common people's howls, cultivators' shouts...
“ fú shēng xuán huáng shàng dì 。”
“福生玄黄上帝。”
Spells clashed, mountains trembled, winds roared, rain poured down.
dì sì bù ， mù shì sì hū zhuāng mǎn huò wù de bǎn chē 。
第四步，目视似乎装满货物的板车。
Suddenly, everything went dark as if someone had put a sack over his head.
lǐ fán tǔ chū zhuó qì ， yòng xīn mò niàn dào ：
李凡吐出浊气，用心默念道：
Li Fan lost consciousness instantly.
Looking into Li Fan's puzzled eyes, Chen Ying didn't wait for him to ask and continued explaining.
"Why is the Realm of Fallen Immortals called the Realm of Fallen Immortals?"
"It's because its formation was due to a powerful entity that couldn’t be imagined in its final moments before falling. It looked at everything within the Xuanhuang Realm."
"After it fell, this intent lingered for thousands of years, evolving and eventually forming the current Realm of Fallen Immortals."

Shaking his head, Chen Ying said with profound emotion.
"A glance through eons, a fall to form its own world." Li Fan was equally stunned by this incredible fact.
Silence lingered for a long time before he pondered again.
Just one final glance before death had such power.
What kind of strength did it possess in life?
How could such an entity fall?
It seemed Chen Ying sensed Li Fan's doubts and sighed along with him.
"Unbelievable, isn't it? Such powerful beings that can’t be imagined actually fell."
"A single thought creates a world. Even the Eternal Heaven Sovereign might not have achieved this."

Second step, turning to the full ear of grain, he sincerely murmured,
"Heavenly King of Xuanhuang."
Third step, looking at the delicate house model, he held his breath and said in a low voice,
"God of Xuanhuang."
Fourth step, staring at the cart seemingly loaded with goods.
Li Fan exhaled, focusing as he whispered,
"Immortal Sovereign of Xuanhuang."
The moment the ritual was complete, Li Fan felt an eerie silence around him.
Even though there had been no sounds in the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror before, this silence was different—ominous and heart-stopping.
Then, like a silver bottle exploding, countless noises filled his ears.
Infant cries, common people's howls, cultivators' shouts...
Spells clashed, mountains trembled, winds roared, rain poured down.
Suddenly, everything went dark as if someone had put a sack over his head.
Li Fan lost consciousness instantly.
