níng yuǎn chéng ， shēng cún zhe jiāng jìn sān shí wàn fán rén 。
宁远城，生存着将近三十万凡人。
Ningyuan City housed nearly 300,000 ordinary people.
ér zài zhè sān shí wàn fán rén tóu dǐng ， lǒng zhào zhe yī céng wú xíng de jié jiè 。
而在这三十万凡人头顶，笼罩着一层无形的结界。
Above their heads loomed an invisible barrier.
“【 huà shēng zhuǎn yuán dà zhèn 】……” lǐ fán yǎn jīng wēi mī ， gǎn shòu zhe kōng qì zhōng shí bù shí chū xiàn de yī lǚ lǚ shēng jī 。
“【化生转元大阵】……”李凡眼睛微眯，感受着空气中时不时出现的一缕缕生机。
"【Transforming Life into Essence Great Array】..." Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he sensed the life energy permeating the air.
“ rú cǐ chún cuì de shēng mìng néng liàng ， nán guài néng xíng chéng zēng zhǎng shòu yuán de 【 shòu guǒ 】。”
“如此纯粹的生命能量，难怪能形成增长寿元的【寿果】。”
"Such pure life energy; no wonder it can form longevity fruits."
zhè xiē mí màn de shēng jī ， zì rán shì lái zì níng yuǎn chéng nèi shēng cún zhe de fán rén le 。
这些弥漫的生机，自然是来自宁远城内生存着的凡人了。
These pervasive life energies naturally came from the ordinary people living in Ningyuan City.
“ wǒ jì de ， hòu shì wàn xiān méng měi gè zhù dì ， fáng hù dà zhèn dōu yǒu chōu qǔ fán rén jīng qì ， zēng jiā líng qì nóng dù de gōng xiào 。”
“我记得，后世万仙盟每个驻地，防护大阵都有抽取凡人精气，增加灵气浓度的功效。”
"I remember that in later times, each stronghold of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had a protective array that could draw on the essence of ordinary people to increase the concentration of spirit energy."
“ dàn gēn cǐ shí de 【 huà shēng zhuǎn yuán dà zhèn 】 xiāng bǐ ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì dà fā shàn xīn le 。”
“但跟此时的【化生转元大阵】相比，简直就是大发善心了。”
"But compared to this 【Transforming Life into Essence Great Array】, it's almost like they're being overly benevolent."
lǐ fán shén shí sǎo guò níng yuǎn chéng de fán rén ， fā xiàn chéng zhōng lǎo rén jí qí xī shǎo 。
李凡神识扫过宁远城的凡人，发现城中老人及其稀少。
Li Fan's divine sense swept over the ordinary people in Ningyuan City and found few elderly residents.
“【 huà shēng zhuǎn yuán dà zhèn 】， néng gòu xī qǔ fán rén shēng jī 。 shēng zhǎng zài dà zhèn zhōng de fán rén ， shòu mìng yě huì jí jù suō duǎn 。”
“【化生转元大阵】，能够吸取凡人生机。生长在大阵中的凡人，寿命也会急剧缩短。”
"The 【Transforming Life into Essence Great Array】 can absorb life essence. Ordinary people living within the array will have their lifespans drastically shortened."
“ wǎng wǎng néng huó gè sì wǔ shí suì ， yǐ jīng jí xiàn le 。”
“往往能活个四五十岁，已经极限了。”
"Often, they only live to be around 40 or 50 years old."
“ cǐ shí xiān fán zhàng hái bù cún zài 。 fán rén zài xiū shì yǎn zhōng ， bù guò niú yáng shēng chù yì bān ， yú qǔ yú duó 。”
“此时仙凡瘴还不存在。凡人在修士眼中，不过牛羊牲畜一般，予取予夺。”
"At this time, the Immortal-Demon Mist doesn't exist yet. To cultivators, ordinary people are merely livestock to be taken and used as needed."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng sī niàn jí zhuǎn ， què yě méi yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò 。
李凡心中思念急转，却也没有多余的动作。
Li Fan's thoughts raced but he didn't make any additional movements.
gēn zhe sòng hé sòng yī lù lái dào le níng yuǎn chéng zhōng yāng 。
跟着宋和颂一路来到了宁远城中央。
Following Song Hesheng all the way to the center of Ningyuan City.
zhè lǐ ， shēng jī néng liàng yù fā jīng cuì 。
这里，生机能量愈发精粹。
Here, the life energy became even more refined.
shèn zhì nóng yù xiǎn xiàn chū yǐn yǐn lǜ sè ， xíng chéng yī tiáo tiáo piāo dòng de chù shǒu ， bèi zhè lǐ shēng zhǎng zhe de yī kē dà shù suǒ màn màn xī shōu 。
甚至浓郁显现出隐隐绿色，形成一条条飘动的触手，被这里生长着的一颗大树所慢慢吸收。
It was so dense that it subtly turned green, forming writhing tendrils that were slowly absorbed by a large tree growing here.
shù zhī shàng ， jié zhe sān méi chén diàn diàn de guǒ shí 。
树枝上，结着三枚沉甸甸的果实。
The branches bore three heavy fruits.
bì lǜ jīng yíng ， xiāng qì sì yì ， shǐ rén wàng ér shēng jīn 。
碧绿晶莹，香气四溢，使人望而生津。
Emerald and translucent, they exuded an inviting fragrance.
“ shī xiōng ， zhè jiù shì 【 wǎng shēng shòu shù 】 le 。” sòng hé sòng tāo chū yī méi dà yìn ， cháo zhe wǎng shēng shòu shù qián fāng xū àn 。
“师兄，这就是【往生寿树】了。”宋和颂掏出一枚大印，朝着往生寿树前方虚按。
"Senior Brother, this is the 【Immortal's Life Tree】." Song Hesheng took out a large seal and virtually pressed it in front of the Immortal's Life Tree.
tóng shí kǒu zhōng dī hē ：“ shè ！”
同时口中低喝：“赦！”
At the same time, he muttered: "Pardon!"
shòu shù zhōu wéi ， sì hū yǒu yī dào kàn bú jiàn de bì zhàng 。
寿树周围，似乎有一道看不见的壁障。
Around the tree seemed to be an invisible barrier.
dà yìn yǔ bì zhàng hěn hěn pèng zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
大印与壁障狠狠碰撞在一起。
The seal collided with the barrier.
shù shí dào guāng xiàn zì dà yìn zhōng yǒng chū ， suí hòu fǎng fú yín shé yì bān ， zhuǎn shùn jiān yóu biàn wǎng shēng shòu shù zhōu wéi de bì zhàng 。
数十道光线自大印中涌出，随后仿佛银蛇一般，转瞬间游遍往生寿树周围的壁障。
Several beams of light shot out from the seal, then darted like silver snakes around the barrier surrounding the Immortal's Life Tree.
“ hái qǐng shī xiōng chū shǒu ！”
“还请师兄出手！”
"Please Senior Brother lend a hand!"
sòng hé sòng yī biān miǎn lì àn yā wéi chí zhe dà yìn ， yī biān gāo hū 。
宋和颂一边勉力按压维持着大印，一边高呼。
Song Hesheng struggled to maintain the seal while shouting.
é tóu qīng jīn tū qǐ ， shì shì jí wéi chī lì 。
额头青筋凸起，似是极为吃力。
His forehead was covered in prominent veins as if he were exerting himself greatly.
lǐ fán jiàn zhuàng ， yě bù yóu yù ， shǒu yī shēn ， yī méi zǐ sè yìn zhāng dùn shí fú xiàn 。
李凡见状，也不犹豫，手一伸，一枚紫色印章顿时浮现。
Seeing this, Li Fan did not hesitate and extended his hand. A purple seal instantly appeared.
zǐ sè yìn zhāng kè zài wú xíng bì zhàng zhī shàng 。
紫色印章刻在无形壁障之上。
The purple seal inscribed on the invisible barrier emitted several purple light snakes that surged out.
shù shí dào zǐ sè guāng shé qǐng kè jiān yú yìn zhāng zhōng bēn yǒng ér chū 。
数十道紫色光蛇顷刻间于印章中奔涌而出。
These purple light snakes chased after the previous silver ones, each with its own target, devouring them one by one.
zǐ sè guāng shé zhuī zhú zhe zhī qián de nà xiē yín sè guāng shé 。
紫色光蛇追逐着之前的那些银色光蛇。
After a moment, when all the silver light snakes were fully absorbed,
gè yǒu mù biāo ， zhú tiáo tūn shì 。
各有目标，逐条吞噬。
these dozens of purple light snakes emitted faint glows and rapidly circulated to form an image of purple lightning clouds on the invisible barrier.
piàn kè zhī hòu ， dāng yín sè guāng shé wán quán bèi xī shōu wán bì 。
片刻之后，当银色光蛇完全被吸收完毕。
Following his memory, Li Fan produced true purple lightning from The Purple Heaven's Commandment Technique.
zhè shù shí dào zǐ sè guāng shé fā chū dàn dàn yíng guāng 。
这数十道紫色光蛇发出淡淡荧光。
The purple lightning flashed.
suí hòu jí sù liú zhuǎn 。
随后急速流转。
The invisible barrier shattered.
zài wú xíng bì zhàng shàng zǔ chéng yī fù zǐ xiāo léi yún de tú 。
在无形壁障上组成一副紫霄雷云的图。
Li Fan activated the True Lightning Technique, enveloped in purple heaven spirit energy as he stepped into it.
lǐ fán cǐ shí àn zhào jì yì zhōng de tí shì ， dǎ chū yī dào xiū xíng 《 zǐ xiāo yù léi zhēn jué 》 cái néng chǎn shēng de zǐ xiāo zhēn léi 。
李凡此时按照记忆中的提示，打出一道修行《紫霄御雷真诀》才能产生的紫霄真雷。
Arriving under the Immortal's Life Tree, he gazed up at the enticing fruits.
zǐ léi shǎn dòng 。
紫雷闪动。
"This batch is of good quality."
wú xíng bì zhàng hōng rán dòng kāi 。
无形壁障轰然洞开。
"Just one small fruit can add three hundred years to my lifespan."
lǐ fán yùn zhuàn yù léi zhēn jué ， zǐ xiāo líng qì hù zhù quán shēn ， dà tà bù jìn rù qí zhōng 。
李凡运转御雷真诀，紫霄灵气护住全身，大踏步进入其中。
Following his memory, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.
lái dào wǎng shēng shòu shù xià ， tái tóu duān xiáng zhe nà sàn fà zhe yòu rén xiāng qì de shòu guǒ 。
来到往生寿树下，抬头端详着那散发着诱人香气的寿果。
"It's said that the best fruits can increase your lifespan by over a thousand years."
“ zhè yī pī chéng sè bù cuò 。”
“这一批成色不错。”
"Unfortunately, with the advent of the Immortal-Demon Mist, this method of condensing longevity fruits seems ineffective now."
“ jiù zhè me yī méi xiǎo xiǎo de shòu guǒ ， jū rán jiù néng zēng shòu sān bǎi zài 。”
“就这么一枚小小的寿果，居然就能增寿三百载。”
"These fruits would surely be priceless in the future world."
àn zhào jì yì zhōng de fāng fǎ ， biàn bié zhe shòu guǒ ， lǐ fán bù jīn xīn zhōng gǎn kǎi wàn fēn 。
按照记忆中的方法，辨别着寿果，李凡不禁心中感慨万分。
"I wonder if there's any way to bring them back to reality."
“ jù shuō ， zuì wèi yōu zhì dì shòu guǒ ， néng zēng shòu qiān zài yǐ shàng 。”
“据说，最为优质的寿果，能增寿千载以上。”
Li Fan slowly plucked the three fruits from the tree and placed them in a specially crafted jade box.
“ kě xī ， suí zhe xiān fán zhàng de dàn shēng ， zhè zhǒng níng jié shòu guǒ de fāng fǎ ， sì hū yǐ jīng shī xiào le 。”
“可惜，随着仙凡瘴的诞生，这种凝结寿果的方法，似乎已经失效了。”
"What should I do next? Should I send these fruits back to the sect or try tasting them first?"
“ zhè xiē shòu guǒ ， fàng zài hòu shì ， bì rán shì wú jià zhī bǎo 。”
“这些寿果，放在后世，必然是无价之宝。”
Li Fan was indecisive for a moment.
“ bù zhī dào ， yǒu méi yǒu bàn fǎ ， jiāng zhè shòu guǒ dài huí xiàn shí 。”
“不知道，有没有办法，将这寿果带回现实。”
According to Chen Ying, all the harvests in the Fallen Immortal Realm only existed within that realm.
lǐ fán yī biān xiǎng zhe ， yī biān màn màn de jiāng shù shàng de sān méi shòu guǒ zhāi xià ， fàng zài yí gè tè zhì de yù hé zhī zhōng 。
李凡一边想着，一边慢慢的将树上的三枚寿果摘下，放在一个特制的玉盒之中。
To bring them back to reality required specific conditions.
“ jiē xià lái gāi zěn me bàn ？ shì jiāng zhè xiē shòu guǒ sòng huí zōng mén ？ hái shì zì jǐ xiān cháng yī cháng yǒu méi yǒu xiào guǒ ？”
“接下来该怎么办？是将这些寿果送回宗门？还是自己先尝一尝有没有效果？”
And these conditions varied and needed exploration.
lǐ fán yī shí jiān yǒu xiē yóu yù 。
李凡一时间有些犹豫。
Even if it were the same item, different circumstances or timing could result in different conditions.
gēn jù chén yīng suǒ shuō ， yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de yī qiè shōu huò ， dōu zhǐ cún zài yú yǔn xiān jiè zhī zhōng 。
根据陈英所说，陨仙境中的一切收获，都只存在于陨仙界之中。
It seemed related to causality involving items.
xiǎng yào dài huí xiàn shí ， xū yào mǎn zú tè dìng de tiáo jiàn 。
想要带回现实，需要满足特定的条件。
Each time he arrived in the Fallen Immortal Realm, his location was different.
ér zhè xiē tiáo jiàn ， yòu gè bù xiāng tóng ， xū yào zì xíng tàn suǒ 。
而这些条件，又各不相同，需要自行探索。
Thus, missing this opportunity might mean losing it forever.
shèn zhì jiù suàn shì yī yàng de dōng xī ， dàn shì yù jiàn qí de qíng jǐng 、 shí jī bù tóng ， yě huì dǎo zhì tiáo jiàn de bù tóng 。
甚至就算是一样的东西，但是遇见其的情景、时机不同，也会导致条件的不同。
This made Li Fan feel anxious.
sì hū hé wù pǐn qiān shè de shì yóu yīn guǒ yǒu guān 。
似乎和物品牵涉的事由因果有关。
However, quickly regaining composure, he reasoned:
ér měi cì lái dào yǔn xiān jìng ， chū xiàn de wèi zhì dōu bù yí yàng 。
而每次来到陨仙境，出现的位置都不一样。
"Shouldn't more valuable items require stricter conditions for bringing them back? How could I easily bring these fruits to reality?"
suǒ yǐ zhè yī cì cuò guò le ， hěn kě néng jiù shì yǒng yuǎn cuò guò le 。
所以这一次错过了，很可能就是永远错过了。
After privately laughing at himself, Li Fan decided:
zhè yě dǎo zhì lǐ fán yě bù yóu dì biàn dé huàn dé huàn shī qǐ lái 。
这也导致李凡也不由地变得患得患失起来。
"I should go back to Purple Heaven Sect and see if there are any opportunities."
bù guò ， hěn kuài ， lǐ fán jiù huī fù le zhèng cháng 。
不过，很快，李凡就恢复了正常。
"But I'm not sure if it's still in time."
“ yīng gāi wù pǐn de jià zhí yuè dà ， dài chū qù de tiáo jiàn yě jiù yuè kē kè 。 zěn me kě néng jiù huì rú cǐ qīng yì de ràng wǒ jiù dài huí xiàn shí ne 。”
“应该物品的价值越大，带出去的条件也就越苛刻。怎么可能就会如此轻易的让我就带回现实呢。”
Li left the barrier protecting the Immortal's Life Tree, intending to call on Chapter Senior Brother to return to Purple Heaven Sect.
àn zì shěn rán hòu ， lǐ fán zuò le jué dìng 。
暗自哂然后，李凡做了决定。
"Boom!"
“ hái shì xiān huí zǐ xiāo zōng kàn kàn ， yǒu shén me jī yuán zài shuō 。”
“还是先回紫霄宗看看，有什么机缘再说。”
Just then, a loud noise echoed from Ningyuan City.
“ jiù shì bù zhī dào ， hái lái bù lái de jí 。”
“就是不知道，还来不来的及。”
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat as he looked towards the source of the sound.
dāng xià ， lǐ fán lí kāi le wǎng shēng shòu shù de fáng hù bì zhàng ， zhǔn bèi hǎn shàng zhāng shī xiōng ， fǎn huí zǐ xiāo zōng 。
当下，李凡离开了往生寿树的防护壁障，准备喊上章师兄，返回紫霄宗。
"Crimson Radiance!" Chapter Qianmo's sorrowful cry was heard far away.
“ hōng ！”
“轰！”
"You're asking for it! Don't think you can escape!" Accompanied by his angry voice, a black flash shot up into the sky.
zhèng zài zhè shí ， níng yuǎn chéng zhōng ， hū rán chuán chū yī shēn jù xiǎng 。
正在这时，宁远城中，忽然传出一身巨响。
Immediately after, Chapter Qianmo transformed into purple light and pursued relentlessly.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī tiào ， cháo zhe jù xiǎng chuán lái fāng xiàng wàng qù 。
李凡心中一跳，朝着巨响传来方向望去。
Li Fan felt an ominous premonition and hurriedly followed.
“ chì xiá ！” zhāng qiān mò bēi tòng de hū háo shēng yuǎn yuǎn chuán lái 。
“赤霞！”章阡陌悲痛的呼号声远远传来。
Song Hesheng followed closely behind.
“ nǐ zhǎo sǐ ！ bié xiǎng zǒu ！” bàn suí zhe tā fèn nù de shēng yīn ， yī dào hēi sè dùn guāng chōng tiān ér qǐ 。
“你找死！别想走！”伴随着他愤怒的声音，一道黑色遁光冲天而起。
"Senior Brother, stay calm! Be wary of deception!" Li Fan transmitted through his divine sense.
jǐn jiē zhe ， zhāng qiān mò huà zuò zǐ guāng ， jǐn zhuī bù shě 。
紧接着，章阡陌化作紫光，紧追不舍。
But Chapter Qianmo was clearly consumed by rage and lost his composure.
lǐ fán dùn shí yǒng qǐ bù hǎo de yù gǎn 。
李凡顿时涌起不好的预感。
Ignoring Li Fan's advice, he relentlessly chased the black light.
lián máng gēn le guò qù 。
连忙跟了过去。
Reaching high above, the black light suddenly stopped.
ér sòng hé sòng yě jǐn suí qí hòu 。
而宋和颂也紧随其后。
He looked down at the agitated Chapter Qianmo with a victorious smile.
“ shī xiōng ， lěng jìng ！ xiǎo xīn yǒu zhà ！” lǐ fán shén shí chuán yīn 。
“师兄，冷静！小心有诈！”李凡神识传音。
"Friends, come out!"
dàn zhāng qiān mò què xiǎn rán nù huǒ gōng xīn ， shī qù le lǐ zhì 。
但章阡陌却显然怒火攻心，失去了理智。
Instantly, three more figures appeared beside the black figure.
duì yú lǐ fán de quàn zǔ bù wén bù wèn 。
对于李凡的劝阻不闻不问。
They formed an array and tightly surrounded Chapter Qianmo who had just plunged into their midst.
sǐ sǐ de zhuī zhú zhe nà dào hēi guāng 。
死死的追逐着那道黑光。
"Chapter Senior Brother! Long time no see!" The black figure laughed triumphantly.
fēi zhì gāo kōng ， nà dào hēi guāng hū de tíng le xià lái 。
飞至高空，那道黑光忽的停了下来。
Realizing he was trapped, Chapter Qianmo's face darkened.
tā kàn zhe xià fāng qì jí bài huài de zhāng qiān mò ， lù chū yí gè yīn móu dé chěng de xiào róng 。
他看着下方气急败坏的章阡陌，露出一个阴谋得逞的笑容。
"Senior Brother? I recognize you?" He stared at the opposite person for a moment, puzzled.
“ dào yǒu men hái bù xiàn shēn ！”
“道友们还不现身！”
"You..." The black figure seemed deeply offended and became agitated.
shà shí jiān ， hēi sè shēn yǐng shēn páng ， dùn shí lìng yǒu sān rén chū xiàn 。
霎时间，黑色身影身旁，顿时另有三人出现。
"Relying on your Thunder Spirit Root, you're so arrogant!"
jié chéng zhèn shì ， jiāng yī tóu zhā rù bāo wéi quān de zhāng qiān mò sǐ sǐ wéi zhù 。
结成阵势，将一头扎入包围圈的章阡陌死死围住。
"Even someone like Chu Liang, whom we both entered the sect together and who was humiliated by you, doesn't recognize me anymore!"
“ zhāng shī xiōng ！ hǎo jiǔ bú jiàn ！”
“章师兄！好久不见！”
Upon hearing this, Chapter Qianmo recalled something.
nà hēi sè shēn yǐng hā hā yī xiào ， dé yì zhì jí 。
那黑色身影哈哈一笑，得意至极。
His body trembled as he exclaimed: "You are Chu Liang? How is that possible!"
zhāng qiān mò cǐ shí zhī dào zì jǐ zhòng jì ， miàn sè yīn chén 。
章阡陌此时知道自己中计，面色阴沉。
"You weren't supposed to be able to cultivate without a spirit root! You were expelled from the sect, right? Why have you become a Foundation Establishment cultivator now?"
“ shī xiōng ？ wǒ rèn de nǐ ？” tā dīng zhe duì miàn kàn le yī huì ， yǒu xiē yí huò 。
“师兄？我认得你？”他盯着对面看了一会，有些疑惑。
Chu Liang laughed aloud: "Not being able to cultivate without a spirit root?"
“ nǐ ……” hēi sè rén yǐng fǎng fú shōu dào le jí dà de wǔ rǔ ， dùn shí biàn dé jī dòng qǐ lái 。
“你……”黑色人影仿佛收到了极大的侮辱，顿时变得激动起来。
"Correct, but that was in the past!"
“ zhàng zhe zì jǐ shì léi líng gēn ， jiù rú cǐ mù zhōng wú rén ！”
“仗着自己是雷灵根，就如此目中无人！”
He revealed an intense expression: "Now, with the Immortal Sovereign's new teachings, everyone can cultivate."
“ lián xī rì gēn nǐ yī qí bài rù shān mén ， suí hòu bèi nǐ hěn hěn xiū rǔ de chǔ liáng ， yě rèn bù dé le ma ！”
“连昔日跟你一齐拜入山门，随后被你狠狠羞辱的楚良，也认不得了嘛！”
"And our cultivation speed is faster than those old fossils like you!"
zhāng qiān mò wén yán ， xiǎng qǐ le shén me 。
章阡陌闻言，想起了什么。
"You, a Thunder Spirit Root, have been cultivating for over ten years more than me. Yet, we're still at the same level!"
shēn qū yī zhèn ， shī shēng dào ：“ nǐ shì chǔ liáng ？ zěn me kě néng ！”
身躯一震，失声道：“你是楚良？怎么可能！”
Chapter Qianmo's face showed disbelief.
“ nǐ bú shì méi yǒu líng gēn ， wú fǎ xiū xíng me ， bèi zhú xià shān qù le me ？！ zěn me xiàn zài dōu shì zhù jī xiū wèi le ？”
“你不是没有灵根，无法修行么，被逐下山去了么？！怎么现在都是筑基修为了？”
"Everyone can cultivate? That's sheer nonsense!"
chǔ liáng yáng tiān zhǎng xiào ：“ méi yǒu líng gēn jiù wú fǎ xiū xíng ？”
楚良扬天长笑：“没有灵根就无法修行？”
Chu Liang sneered: "How pitiful. Once you lose your pride in cultivation, what do you have left?"
“ méi cuò ， nà dàn shì yǐ qián le ！”
“没错，那但是以前了！”
He then fiercely looked at Chapter Qianmo: "I knelt before your door for three days and nights, almost crippling my legs."
tā miàn lù kuáng rè zhī sè ：“ rú jīn ， xiān zūn chuán xīn fǎ ， rén rén jiē kě xiū xíng 。”
他面露狂热之色：“如今，仙尊传新法，人人皆可修行。”
"Just to beg you to let me stay in the sect."
“ ér qiě ， wǒ men de xiū xíng sù dù ， bǐ nǐ men zhè xiē lǎo gǔ dǒng hái yào kuài ！”
“而且，我们的修行速度，比你们这些老古董还要快！”
"You were indifferent and mocked and humiliated me to no end."
“ nǐ táng táng léi líng gēn ， zǎo wǒ shí duō nián xiū xíng ， rú jīn hái bú shì gēn wǒ yí gè jìng jiè ！”
“你堂堂雷灵根，早我十多年修行，如今还不是跟我一个境界！”
"On that day, I will wash away your humiliation with your blood today!"
zhāng qiān mò miàn lù nán yǐ zhì xìn zhī sè 。
章阡陌面露难以置信之色。
"Friends, attack together!"
Ningyuan City housed nearly 300,000 ordinary people.
Above their heads loomed an invisible barrier.
"【Transforming Life into Essence Great Array】..." Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he sensed the life energy permeating the air.
"Such pure life energy; no wonder it can form longevity fruits."
These pervasive life energies naturally came from the ordinary people living in Ningyuan City.
"I remember that in later times, each stronghold of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had a protective array that could draw on the essence of ordinary people to increase the concentration of spirit energy."
"But compared to this 【Transforming Life into Essence Great Array】, it's almost like they're being overly benevolent."
Li Fan's divine sense swept over the ordinary people in Ningyuan City and found few elderly residents.
"The 【Transforming Life into Essence Great Array】 can absorb life essence. Ordinary people living within the array will have their lifespans drastically shortened."
"Often, they only live to be around 40 or 50 years old."
"At this time, the Immortal-Demon Mist doesn't exist yet. To cultivators, ordinary people are merely livestock to be taken and used as needed."
Li Fan's thoughts raced but he didn't make any additional movements.
Following Song Hesheng all the way to the center of Ningyuan City.
Here, the life energy became even more refined.
It was so dense that it subtly turned green, forming writhing tendrils that were slowly absorbed by a large tree growing here.
The branches bore three heavy fruits.
Emerald and translucent, they exuded an inviting fragrance.
"Senior Brother, this is the 【Immortal's Life Tree】." Song Hesheng took out a large seal and virtually pressed it in front of the Immortal's Life Tree.
At the same time, he muttered: "Pardon!"
Around the tree seemed to be an invisible barrier.
The seal collided with the barrier.
Several beams of light shot out from the seal, then darted like silver snakes around the barrier surrounding the Immortal's Life Tree.
"Please Senior Brother lend a hand!"
Song Hesheng struggled to maintain the seal while shouting.
His forehead was covered in prominent veins as if he were exerting himself greatly.
Seeing this, Li Fan did not hesitate and extended his hand. A purple seal instantly appeared.
"Urgent!"
The purple seal inscribed on the invisible barrier emitted several purple light snakes that surged out.
These purple light snakes chased after the previous silver ones, each with its own target, devouring them one by one.
After a moment, when all the silver light snakes were fully absorbed,
these dozens of purple light snakes emitted faint glows and rapidly circulated to form an image of purple lightning clouds on the invisible barrier.
Following his memory, Li Fan produced true purple lightning from The Purple Heaven's Commandment Technique.
The purple lightning flashed.
The invisible barrier shattered.
Li Fan activated the True Lightning Technique, enveloped in purple heaven spirit energy as he stepped into it.
Arriving under the Immortal's Life Tree, he gazed up at the enticing fruits.
"This batch is of good quality."
"Just one small fruit can add three hundred years to my lifespan."
Following his memory, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.
"It's said that the best fruits can increase your lifespan by over a thousand years."
"Unfortunately, with the advent of the Immortal-Demon Mist, this method of condensing longevity fruits seems ineffective now."
"These fruits would surely be priceless in the future world."
"I wonder if there's any way to bring them back to reality."
Li Fan slowly plucked the three fruits from the tree and placed them in a specially crafted jade box.
"What should I do next? Should I send these fruits back to the sect or try tasting them first?"
Li Fan was indecisive for a moment.
According to Chen Ying, all the harvests in the Fallen Immortal Realm only existed within that realm.
To bring them back to reality required specific conditions.
And these conditions varied and needed exploration.
Even if it were the same item, different circumstances or timing could result in different conditions.
It seemed related to causality involving items.
Each time he arrived in the Fallen Immortal Realm, his location was different.
Thus, missing this opportunity might mean losing it forever.
This made Li Fan feel anxious.
However, quickly regaining composure, he reasoned:
"Shouldn't more valuable items require stricter conditions for bringing them back? How could I easily bring these fruits to reality?"
After privately laughing at himself, Li Fan decided:
"I should go back to Purple Heaven Sect and see if there are any opportunities."
"But I'm not sure if it's still in time."
Li left the barrier protecting the Immortal's Life Tree, intending to call on Chapter Senior Brother to return to Purple Heaven Sect.
"Boom!"
Just then, a loud noise echoed from Ningyuan City.
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat as he looked towards the source of the sound.
"Crimson Radiance!" Chapter Qianmo's sorrowful cry was heard far away.
"You're asking for it! Don't think you can escape!" Accompanied by his angry voice, a black flash shot up into the sky.
Immediately after, Chapter Qianmo transformed into purple light and pursued relentlessly.
Li Fan felt an ominous premonition and hurriedly followed.
Song Hesheng followed closely behind.
"Senior Brother, stay calm! Be wary of deception!" Li Fan transmitted through his divine sense.
But Chapter Qianmo was clearly consumed by rage and lost his composure.
Ignoring Li Fan's advice, he relentlessly chased the black light.
Reaching high above, the black light suddenly stopped.
He looked down at the agitated Chapter Qianmo with a victorious smile.
"Friends, come out!"
Instantly, three more figures appeared beside the black figure.
They formed an array and tightly surrounded Chapter Qianmo who had just plunged into their midst.
"Chapter Senior Brother! Long time no see!" The black figure laughed triumphantly.
Realizing he was trapped, Chapter Qianmo's face darkened.
"Senior Brother? I recognize you?" He stared at the opposite person for a moment, puzzled.
"You..." The black figure seemed deeply offended and became agitated.
"Relying on your Thunder Spirit Root, you're so arrogant!"
"Even someone like Chu Liang, whom we both entered the sect together and who was humiliated by you, doesn't recognize me anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Chapter Qianmo recalled something.
His body trembled as he exclaimed: "You are Chu Liang? How is that possible!"
"You weren't supposed to be able to cultivate without a spirit root! You were expelled from the sect, right? Why have you become a Foundation Establishment cultivator now?"
Chu Liang laughed aloud: "Not being able to cultivate without a spirit root?"
"Correct, but that was in the past!"
He revealed an intense expression: "Now, with the Immortal Sovereign's new teachings, everyone can cultivate."
"And our cultivation speed is faster than those old fossils like you!"
"You, a Thunder Spirit Root, have been cultivating for over ten years more than me. Yet, we're still at the same level!"
Chapter Qianmo's face showed disbelief.
"Everyone can cultivate? That's sheer nonsense!"
Chu Liang sneered: "How pitiful. Once you lose your pride in cultivation, what do you have left?"
He then fiercely looked at Chapter Qianmo: "I knelt before your door for three days and nights, almost crippling my legs."
"Just to beg you to let me stay in the sect."
"You were indifferent and mocked and humiliated me to no end."
"On that day, I will wash away your humiliation with your blood today!"
"Friends, attack together!"
