“ zǐ xiāo dí dàng ， dòng chè shén hún ……”
“紫霄涤荡，洞彻神魂……”
"Oxiashe Washing, Perceiving the Soul..."
chà nà jiān ， yī piān bù guò shù wàn zì de guān hún zhī shù ， jiù chū xiàn zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
刹那间，一篇不过数万字的观魂之术，就出现在李凡脑海中。
In an instant, a soul-perception technique spanning no more than several thousand words appeared in Li Fan's mind.
“ shī dì nǐ qiě zài cǐ dì děng hòu ， wǒ qù qù jiù huí ！” zhāng qiān mò shuō bà ， yě bù děng lǐ fán huí yìng ， jiù piāo rán ér qù 。
“师弟你且在此地等候，我去去就回！”章阡陌说罢，也不等李凡回应，就飘然而去。
"Junior brother, you wait here. I'll be right back!" Zhang Qianmo said and departed without waiting for Li Fan's response.
“ zǐ xiāo guān hún ……” jiāng zhè piān zǐ xiāo zōng dú tè de sōu hún zhī shù xì xì yuè dú zhī hòu ， lǐ fán yǐ rán jiāng qí zhǎng wò le gè qī qī bā bā 。
“紫霄观魂……”将这篇紫霄宗独特的搜魂之术细细阅读之后，李凡已然将其掌握了个七七八八。
"Soul Perception of Oxiashe..." After carefully reading through this unique soul-perception technique of the Oxiashe Sect, Li Fan had mastered it to a great extent.
shù zhōng míng yán ， cǐ shí de xiū xiān jiè ， gè dà shān mén 、 zhèng xié xiū shì 、 xiū xiān zhě yǔ gè zhǒng yāo mó yì shòu ， bǐ cǐ zhī jiān ， zhēng dòu bù xiū 。 shā rén duó bǎo ， sōu hún liàn pò ， dōu shì xún cháng zhī shì 。
术中明言，此时的修仙界，各大山门、正邪修士、修仙者与各种妖魔异兽，彼此之间，争斗不休。杀人夺宝，搜魂炼魄，都是寻常之事。
The technique clearly stated that in today’s world of cultivation, various sects, righteous and evil cultivators, ordinary cultivators, and all kinds of demons and beasts were constantly at odds. Murdering for treasures and soul-perception were common occurrences.
suǒ wèi sōu hún ， biàn shì tōng guò mǒu zhǒng fāng shì dú qǔ duì fāng shén hún zhōng de jì yì 。 yī zhào gè jiā xíng shì fēng gé xí guàn ， ér gè yǒu bù tóng 。
所谓搜魂，便是通过某种方式读取对方神魂中的记忆。依照各家行事风格习惯，而各有不同。
Soul-perception referred to reading the memories stored within one's opponent's soul through certain means. Depending on their style and habits, there were various methods.
yǒu de cán kù bào nüè ， sōu hún zhī hòu huì duì shén hún zào chéng yǒng jiǔ xìng de sǔn huài 。 bèi sōu hún xiū shì jiù suàn bù sǐ ， yě shì cóng cǐ zhǐ néng rú chī dāi ér yì bān ， lián shēng huó dōu wú fǎ zì lǐ 。
有的残酷暴虐，搜魂之后会对神魂造成永久性的损坏。被搜魂修士就算不死，也是从此只能如痴呆儿一般，连生活都无法自理。
Some were cruel and brutal; after soul-perception, they would cause permanent damage to the soul. Even if a cultivator survived such an ordeal, they might become as foolish as a madman, unable to control their fate.
yǒu de zé shì jiàng xīn dú yùn ， sōu chá shén hún jì yì de tóng shí ， hái huì shùn biàn gǎi zào niǔ qū jì yì ， kè xià jīng shén lào yìn ， jiāng yuán běn de dí rén huà zuò zuì zhōng xīn de nú pú 。
有的则是匠心独韵，搜查神魂记忆的同时，还会顺便改造扭曲记忆，刻下精神烙印，将原本的敌人化作最忠心的奴仆。
Others were fortunate enough to witness the teaching of the Immortal Sovereign and gain supreme techniques.
ér zǐ xiāo zōng de sōu hún zhī shù ， zuì wèi zhōng zhèng píng hé 。
而紫霄宗的搜魂之术，最为中正平和。
From that moment on, one no longer needed a spiritual root to cultivate!
bú huì duì shén hún zào chéng duō dà de shāng hài ， zhǐ zài sōu hún de guò chéng zhōng huì jīng lì rú tóng zǐ xiāo shén léi zhèng pī shén hún bān de tòng kǔ 。
不会对神魂造成多大的伤害，只在搜魂的过程中会经历如同紫霄神雷正劈神魂般的痛苦。
In just ten years, he had already achieved the Golden Core realm!
ruò shì shì hòu jīng guò xī xīn xiū yǎng ， yě néng huī fù rú chū 。
若是事后经过悉心修养，也能恢复如初。
The Immortal Sovereign said: "The path of immortality..."
dàn cóng cǐ jiù huì zài xīn zhōng liú xià mò míng de kǒng jù ， cóng cǐ gǎn yìng dào zǐ xiāo zōng mén rén cún zài hòu ， dū huì yóu rú kàn dào tiān dí yì bān ， shēng bù qǐ fǎn kàng de yǒng qì 。
但从此就会在心中留下莫名的恐惧，从此感应到紫霄宗门人存在后，都会犹如看到天敌一般，升不起反抗的勇气。
Under the young man's guidance, dozens among these ordinary people managed to condense their roots and enter the Qi Refinement stage right there.
lǐ fán yě rú zhāng qiān mò yì bān ， shēn shǒu wèi zhǎo ， cháo zhe qí zhōng yī wèi fú lǔ zhuā qù 。
李凡也如章阡陌一般，伸手为爪，朝着其中一位俘虏抓去。
Although Ruitu was slightly less talented, he still memorized The Five Sensory Qi Method. After a few weeks at home, he successfully guided his qi into his body and became an actual cultivator.
yùn zhuàn zǐ xiāo guān hún shù ， wú shù huà miàn shà shí jiān rú jù làng bān yǒng lái 。
运转紫霄观魂术，无数画面霎时间如巨浪般涌来。
After that, Ruitu found and joined the newly formed organization of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance created by the new independent cultivators.
hé xī rì tōng guò jì liàn fēn shēn de fāng shì fù xiàn zuò shān jué lèi sì ， zhǐ shì guān hún zhī shù suǒ néng chá kàn de jì yì gèng jiā xiān huó 。
和昔日通过祭练分身的方式复现坐山决类似，只是观魂之术所能查看的记忆更加鲜活。
Choosing the most popular cultivation technique, The Heavenly Net Divine Skill, as his main practice, Ruitu spent another five or six years refining his foundation with a rare treasure from the mountains, the Spirit参.
yí mù mù chǎng jǐng cì dì chū xiàn ， lǐ fán shě qù wú guān jǐn yào de suǒ shì ， jǐn jǐn chá kàn xiāng duì zhòng yào de bù fèn 。
一幕幕场景次第出现，李凡舍去无关紧要的琐事，仅仅查看相对重要的部分。
This was when Chu Liang approached him and arranged for them to ambush Zhang Qianmo and Li Chen in Ningyuan City.
zhè wèi zhù jī xiū shì ， míng jiào liú tú 。
这位筑基修士，名叫刘图。
The title of Inner Sect Disciple within the Oxiashe Sect gave Ruitu some fear. However, with Song He and Song Song as his leaders and The True Art of Imperial Lightning as a tempting technique, he agreed without much hesitation.
sì shí duō nián qián yě zhǐ shì wèi xún cháng shān yě cūn fū 。
四十多年前也只是位寻常山野村夫。
After all, according to intelligence, these two were only late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
yī rì shàng shān dǎ liè shí ， zài shān zhōng mí le lù ， wù rù yī chù shān gǔ 。
一日上山打猎时，在山中迷了路，误入一处山谷。
Who would have thought that meeting Zhang Qianmo, who could even refine into the Golden Core Realm...
tā jīng qí de fā xiàn ， zhè cáng yú shēn shān zhōng 、 píng rì lǐ rén jì hǎn zhì de shān gǔ ， jīn rì què bù zhī wèi hé jù jí le xǔ duō rén 。 yǒu de shì qì xī qiáng dà de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn gèng duō de shì rú cūn fū yì bān de pǔ tōng fán rén 。
他惊奇的发现，这藏于深山中、平日里人迹罕至的山谷，今日却不知为何聚集了许多人。有的是气息强大的修仙者，但更多的是如村夫一般的普通凡人。
"Bang!"
tā men cǐ kè bù fēn bǐ cǐ ， zuò zài yì qǐ ， jù jīng huì shén de tīng zhe qián fāng yī wèi qīng nián xiū shì kāng kǎi jī áng de yǎn jiǎng 。
他们此刻不分彼此，坐在一起，聚精会神的听着前方一位青年修士慷慨激昂的演讲。
The soul-perception was complete. Li Fan threw the limp Ruitu onto the ground and gently massaged his throbbing temples.
“ shù shí nián zhī qián ， wǒ yě rú tóng zài zuò de jué dà duō shù yī yàng ， zhǐ shì yí gè shǒu wú fù jī zhī lì 、 bù néng zhǎng kòng zì jǐ mìng yùn de fán rén 。 suī xīn xiàng xiān tú ， dàn zhǐ hèn méi yǒu líng gēn ， wú fǎ xiū xíng 。”
“数十年之前，我也如同在座的绝大多数一样，只是一个手无缚鸡之力、不能掌控自己命运的凡人。虽心向仙途，但只恨没有灵根，无法修行。”
He calmed down his agitated soul.
“ xìng qīn yǎn mù dǔ xiān zūn chuán dào ， dé wú shàng fǎ mén 。”
“幸亲眼目睹仙尊传道，得无上法门。”
Soul-perception techniques were versatile; they allowed one to see all secrets stored in an enemy's mind. However, there were risks involved.
“ cóng cǐ wú xū líng gēn ， yě néng xiū xíng ！”
“从此无须灵根，也能修行！”
The consumption of his own divine essence was enormous. Li Fan had overexerted himself.
“ duǎn duǎn shí nián ， wǒ yǐ jīng chéng jiù jīn dān zhī jìng ！”
“短短十年，我已经成就金丹之境！”
More dangerously, if he encountered someone who pretended to be weak but was actually a tiger, he might suffer a fatal counterattack during the soul-perception process.
“ xiān zūn yǒu yán ： xiān dào yī tú ， nǎi ……”
“仙尊有言：仙道一途，乃……”
If caught off guard and unable to defend, not only would his soul receive severe damage, but there was also a risk of being "soul-perceived" in return.
zài qīng nián de xiàn chǎng jiào xué xià ， zhè qún fán rén zhī zhōng ， jìng rán dāng chǎng jiù yǒu shù shí wèi ， níng jù le tiān dì zhī gēn ， tà rù le liàn qì qī 。
在青年的现场教学下，这群凡人之中，竟然当场就有数十位，凝聚了天地之根，踏入了炼气期。
"While I am just a divine consciousness manifestation here in the Realm of Fallen Immortals, my divine essence is weaker than that of my original self. However, this consumption is still too high," Li Fan couldn't help but doubt if he had used the wrong method after recalling Zhang Qianmo's relaxed demeanor.
liú tú tīng dé rù mí ， suī rán zī zhì shāo chà ， méi néng zhí jiē liàn qì 。
刘图听得入迷，虽然资质稍差，没能直接炼气。
After reviewing Li Chen’s memories and thinking for a moment, Li Fan understood.
dàn yě jiāng 《 wǔ líng gǎn qì fǎ 》 jì zài le xīn zhōng 。
但也将《五灵感气法》记在了心中。
At this point in time, major sects invested heavily in their elite disciples. All sorts of talents and treasures were readily available, and various secret techniques could be chosen at will.
huí jiā zhī hòu ， yòng le bú dào bàn gè yuè de shí jiān ， jū rán yě yǐn qì rù tǐ chéng gōng ， chéng wéi yī míng zhēn zhèng de xiū xiān zhě le 。
回家之后，用了不到半个月的时间，居然也引气入体成功，成为一名真正的修仙者了。
From practical combat training to refining divine essence, followed by guidance from senior elders, the path to rapid growth was clear if one performed well.
zhè zhī hòu ， liú tú zhǎo dào bìng jiā rù le xīn fǎ sàn xiū men zì fā chuàng jiàn de zǔ zhī ， wàn xiān méng 。
这之后，刘图找到并加入了新法散修们自发创建的组织，万仙盟。
In contrast, in today's world of cultivation, a complete technique was split into several parts, clearly limiting cultivators' power.
tiāo xuǎn le yī mén zuì shòu dà jiā huān yíng de 《 tiān luó shén gōng 》 zuò wéi zhǔ xiū gōng fǎ zhī hòu ， liú tú yòu jīng guò wǔ liù nián de xiū xíng ， yǐ tiān dì qí wù 【 shān zhōng líng cān 】 zhù jiù le dào jī 。
挑选了一门最受大家欢迎的《天罗神功》作为主修功法之后，刘图又经过五六年的修行，以天地奇物【山中灵参】筑就了道基。
To enhance oneself with rare treasures or secret techniques?
zhè zhī hòu ， jiù shì chǔ liáng zhǎo dào tā ， xiāng yuē zài zhè níng yuǎn chéng mái fú lái qǔ shòu guǒ de zhāng qiān mò hé lǐ chén èr wèi shī xiōng dì le 。
这之后，就是楚良找到他，相约在这宁远城埋伏来取寿果的章阡陌和李尘二位师兄弟了。
First, complete tasks and accumulate contributions!
zǐ xiāo zōng nèi mén dì zǐ de tóu xián ， ràng liú tú duō shǎo hái shì yǒu diǎn hài pà de 。 dàn shì yǒu le jīn dān jìng de sòng hé sòng zuò wéi dài tóu dà gē ， zài jiā shàng 【 zǐ xiāo yù léi zhēn jué 】 zhè mén jué xué gōng fǎ de yòu huò ， ràng liú tú guǐ shǐ shén chāi de dā yìng le xià lái 。
紫霄宗内门弟子的头衔，让刘图多少还是有点害怕的。但是有了金丹境的宋和颂作为带头大哥，再加上【紫霄御雷真诀】这门绝学功法的诱惑，让刘图鬼使神差的答应了下来。
Even after accumulating enough contributions, one still couldn't find the desired items.
bì jìng ， zài qíng bào zhōng ， zǐ xiāo zōng de zhè èr rén ， yě zhǐ shì zhù jī hòu qī xiū wèi ér yǐ 。
毕竟，在情报中，紫霄宗的这二人，也只是筑基后期修为而已。
Oh, maybe it was due to insufficient permissions; one needed to complete some merit missions over a few years!
shuí céng xiǎng ， yù dào le zhāng qiān mò zhè ge kě yǐ zhù jī zhǎn jīn dān de guài tāi ……
谁曾想，遇到了章阡陌这个可以筑基斩金丹的怪胎……
...
“ pēng ！”
“砰！”
Although he didn’t know what was happening at the Five Elders' meeting, it seemed similar. Most cultivators in reality were probably not even considered as scattered sects by Zhang Qianmo.
sōu hún wán bì ， jiāng hún shēn tān ruǎn de liú tú rēng zài dì shàng ， lǐ fán lüè wēi àn le àn zhàng tòng de tài yáng xué 。
搜魂完毕，将浑身瘫软的刘图扔在地上，李凡略微按了按胀痛的太阳穴。
According to Ruitu’s memories, the initial Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance provided various techniques and secret arts.
píng fù xià zì jǐ jī dàng fān téng de shén hún 。
平复下自己激荡翻腾的神魂。
For instance, The Heavenly Net Divine Skill was a comprehensive technique, covering everything from qi control to array formations...
sōu hún zhī shù ， miào yòng wú qióng ， néng gòu jiāng dí rén nǎo hǎi zhōng jì yì mì mì yī lǎn wú yú 。
搜魂之术，妙用无穷，能够将敌人脑海中记忆秘密一览无余。
It was an excellent introductory cultivation method. Although not top-tier in every aspect, it was still well-rounded.
dàn bìng fēi méi yǒu fēng xiǎn 。
但并非没有风险。
Li Fan couldn't estimate how expensive this technique would be in the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
duì zì shēn shén niàn de xiāo hào yě shì fēi cháng jīng rén ， shì lǐ fán zhè bān ， jiù shì xiāo hào guò dù de qíng kuàng 。
对自身神念的消耗也是非常惊人，似李凡这般，就是消耗过度的情况。
This was just one of the free techniques provided at that point in time among dozens available.
gèng yǒu shèn zhě ， ruò shì yù shàng bàn zhū chī lǎo hǔ zhī bèi ， biǎo miàn shàng bèi chè dǐ zhì fú ， què chèn zhe sōu hún de shí jī fā dòng zhì mìng fǎn jī 。
更有甚者，若是遇上扮猪吃老虎之辈，表面上被彻底制服，却趁着搜魂的时机发动致命反击。
The comparison made Li Fan feel "Damn, why has the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance become like this?"
ruò shì cù bù jí fáng zhī xià ， méi néng fáng yù zhù 。 zì shēn shén hún huì zāo shòu zhòng chuāng bù shuō ， gèng huì yǒu bèi “ fǎn sōu hún ” de fēng xiǎn 。
若是猝不及防之下，没能防御住。自身神魂会遭受重创不说，更会有被“反搜魂”的风险。
The difference between this and scattered sects was so great. Compared to Zhang Qianmo, a major sect elite, there was even more of a gap.
“ suī shuō wǒ zài zhè yǔn xiān jìng nèi ， zhǐ shì shén shí huà shēn ， shén niàn qiáng dù méi yǒu yuán shēn qiáng 。 dàn zhè sōu hún de xiāo hào ， yě wèi miǎn tài gāo le yì diǎn 。” huí xiǎng qǐ gāng gāng zhāng qiān mò qīng sōng xiě yì de mú yàng ， ràng lǐ fán dōu bù jīn huái yí shì bú shì zì jǐ fāng fǎ yòng cuò le 。
“虽说我在这陨仙境内，只是神识化身，神念强度没有原身强。但这搜魂的消耗，也未免太高了一点。”回想起刚刚章阡陌轻松写意的模样，让李凡都不禁怀疑是不是自己方法用错了。
Although Li Fan had the True Art of Immortality and could cycle through countless lives with his divine essence far surpassing ordinary cultivators, he hadn’t been systematically strengthened or given any rare treasures.
dàn zài fān kàn le lǐ chén de jì yì ， lüè yī sī suǒ zhī hòu ， lǐ fán què shì míng bái guò lái 。
但在翻看了李尘的记忆，略一思索之后，李凡却是明白过来。
Thus, he still fell short compared to Zhang Qianmo.
zài zhè ge shí jiān diǎn ， zōng mén dà pài duì yú mén nèi jīng yīng dì zǐ de péi yǎng ， shì quán fāng miàn 、 bù jì chéng běn de 。
在这个时间点，宗门大派对于门内精英弟子的培养，是全方面、不计成本的。
Li Fan reviewed his current situation and frowned slightly.
gè zhǒng tiān cái dì bǎo gēn běn bù quē ， gè shì gè yàng de qí mén mì fǎ ， yě shì jī hū suí yì tiāo xuǎn 。
各种天才地宝根本不缺，各式各样的奇门秘法，也是几乎随意挑选。
"Due to excessive consumption of my divine essence, the time I can stay in the Realm of Fallen Immortals has significantly decreased."
cóng shí zhàn duì liàn ， dào cuì liàn shén shí ， zài dào mén nèi zhǎng bèi qiáng zhě de ěr tí miàn mìng 、 qīn zì zhǐ dǎo 。
从实战对练，到淬炼神识，再到门内长辈强者的耳提面命、亲自指导。
...
zhǐ yào nǐ biǎo xiàn de zú gòu yōu xiù ， zhè xiē dōu shì nǐ kuài sù chéng zhǎng biàn qiáng de zī liáng 。
只要你表现的足够优秀，这些都是你快速成长变强的资粮。
"I originally could have stayed for about half a month, but now it's only seven or eight days."
fǎn guān zài dāng jīn xiū xiān jiè ， hǎo hǎo de yī mén gōng fǎ yīng shēng shēng bèi chāi chéng jǐ gè bù tóng de bù fèn ， bǎi míng liǎo yào xiàn zhì xiū shì zhàn lì bù shuō 。
反观在当今修仙界，好好的一门功法应生生被拆成几个不同的部分，摆明了要限制修士战力不说。
"However, according to Chen Ying, I've already achieved some results and can leave early. I just need to reverse simulate the ritual."
xiǎng yào tiān cái dì bǎo qiáng huà zì shēn ？ xiǎng yào mì fǎ yù dí ？
想要天才地宝强化自身？想要秘法御敌？
"But I'm not sure if this meets the conditions to bring items back to reality."
hǎo a ， xiān zuò rèn wù ， zǎn gòng xiàn dù ba 。
好啊，先做任务，攒贡献度吧。
To bring items from the Realm of Fallen Immortals back to reality required specific conditions.
gòng xiàn dù zǎn gòu le ， yī rán hái sōu suǒ bú dào 。
贡献度攒够了，依然还搜索不到。
The exact details were vague when Chen Ying introduced them.
ó ， nà kě néng shì nǐ quán xiàn děng jí bù gòu ， zài zuò diǎn gōng xūn rèn wù ， jī lěi gè jǐ nián ba ！
哦，那可能是你权限等级不够，再做点功勋任务，积累个几年吧！
Currently, there was no information on the Realm of Fallen Immortals in the Heavenly Oxiashe Mirror. Li Fan could only explore on his own.
……
……
"Higher value items are harder to bring."
suī rán bù zhī dào wǔ lǎo huì nà biān shì gè shén me qíng xíng ， dàn xiǎng lái yě dà chà bù chà le 。
虽然不知道五老会那边是个什么情形，但想来也大差不差了。
"I don't need to think about The Heavenly Net Divine Skill for now. Bringing The Soul Perception Technique of Oxiashe is enough."
xiàn shí zhōng jué dà duō shù shuǐ píng de xiū shì ， kǒng pà zài zhāng qiān mò yǎn zhōng ， lián páng mén sàn xiū de shuǐ píng dōu suàn bù shàng 。
现实中绝大多数水平的修士，恐怕在章阡陌眼中，连旁门散修的水平都算不上。
"What conditions are these? Kill Zhang Qianmo?"
bì jìng gēn jù liú tú de jì yì ， zhè zuì chū de wàn xiān méng ， tí gōng de gōng fǎ kě dōu shì bāo hán gè zhǒng miào shù mì fǎ de 。
毕竟根据刘图的记忆，这最初的万仙盟，提供的功法可都是包含各种妙术秘法的。
Li Fan was currently at a loss.
jiù ná xiū xíng rén shù zuì duō de 《 tiān luó shén gōng 》 lái shuō ， gōng fǎ nèi róng kě wèi shì tiān luó wàn xiàng 、 wú suǒ bù bāo 。
就拿修行人数最多的《天罗神功》来说，功法内容可谓是天罗万象、无所不包。
"No matter what, I'll return to reality first."
liǎn xī 、 dùn shù 、 shén shí cuì liàn 、 ròu shēn qiáng huà 、 liàn qì 、 liàn dān 、 zhì fú 、 zhèn fǎ ……
敛息、遁术、神识淬炼、肉身强化、炼气、炼丹、制符、阵法……
"Maybe I can recall the details of soul-perception in reality?"
shì wú jù xì ， yīng yǒu jìn yǒu 。
事无巨细，应有尽有。
After some contemplation, Li Fan made his decision and began reversing the ritual in his mind.
kě wèi shì zuì hǎo de rù mén xiū xíng gōng fǎ le 。
可谓是最好的入门修行功法了。
A wave of dizziness hit him. In an instant, the surroundings fragmented like stars.
suī shuō gè fāng miàn kě néng dōu bú shì nà me dǐng jiān ， dàn shèng zài quán miàn 。
虽说各方面可能都不是那么顶尖，但胜在全面。
Li Fan's consciousness returned to the Heavenly Oxiashe Mirror.
lǐ fán dōu wú fǎ gū jì ， zhè mén gōng fǎ zài dāng jīn de wàn xiān méng ， huì mài chū duō me áng guì de jià gé 。
李凡都无法估计，这门功法在当今的万仙盟，会卖出多么昂贵的价格。
He began recalling all the scenes from his journey through the Realm of Fallen Immortals.
zhè hái shì zhè ge shí jiān diǎn de wàn xiān méng zhōng ， miǎn fèi tí gōng de shù shí zhǒng gōng fǎ zhī yī 。
这还是这个时间点的万仙盟中，免费提供的数十种功法之一。
Every detail and conversation with Zhang Qianmo was vividly remembered.
liǎng xiāng duì bǐ ， ràng lǐ fán bù jīn shēng chū le “ tā me de ， wàn xiān méng zěn me biàn chéng le zhè ge yàng zi ” de gǎn kǎi 。
两相对比，让李凡不禁生出了“他么的，万仙盟怎么变成了这个样子”的感慨。
However, when he tried to recall The Soul Perception Technique of Oxiashe and The Heavenly Net Divine Skill, nothing came to mind.
hé zhè ge shí jiān diǎn de sàn xiū chā jù dōu rú cǐ zhī dà ， gèng bú yòng shuō gēn zhāng qiān mò zhè zhǒng dà pài jīng yīng dì zǐ xiāng bǐ le 。
和这个时间点的散修差距都如此之大，更不用说跟章阡陌这种大派精英弟子相比了。
It was like trying to catch water in a bamboo basket.
lǐ fán suī shuō yǒu zhe yì bǎo hái zhēn ， bǎi shì lún huí ， shén shí yuǎn chāo pǔ tōng xiū shì 。
李凡虽说有着异宝还真，百世轮回，神识远超普通修士。
"Sure enough, it's not that easy."
dàn bì jìng méi yǒu xì tǒng xìng de qiáng huà guò 。
但毕竟没有系统性的强化过。
"In my hands is the treasure, but it’s like a flower in a mirror or a moon in water—unattainable..."
gèng méi yǒu shén me tiān cái dì bǎo bǔ yī bǔ le 。
更没有什么天材地宝补一补了。
"This feeling is really uncomfortable."
suǒ yǐ gēn zhè wèi zhāng shī xiōng ， hái shì yǒu bù xiǎo de chā jù de 。
所以跟这位章师兄，还是有不小的差距的。
"I need to go back inside and find specific conditions."
lǐ fán chá kàn le yī fān zì shēn qíng kuàng ， méi tóu wēi zhòu 。
李凡查看了一番自身情况，眉头微皱。
Fortunately, this time he had voluntarily exited. The required waiting period was significantly shortened.
“ yóu yú shén shí xiāo hào guò dù de yuán gù ， zài zhè yǔn xiān jìng nèi wǒ néng tíng liú de shí jiān ， yě shì ruì jiǎn 。”
“由于神识消耗过度的缘故，在这陨仙境内我能停留的时间，也是锐减。”
During the wait, Li Fan bought Song Wei's Talisman, disguising himself as a Golden Core cultivator.
“ yuán běn hái néng wéi chí bàn gè yuè zuǒ yòu de shí jiān ， xiàn zài zhǐ néng dài shàng qī bā tiān le 。”
“原本还能维持半个月左右的时间，现在只能待上七八天了。”
He then purchased an appearance-changing pill, disguised himself, and arrived at Dingyu Island.
“ bù guò ， àn zhào chén yīng suǒ shuō ， wǒ mù qián yǐ jīng suàn yǒu le shōu huò 。 kě yǐ tí qián lí kāi yǔn xiān jìng 。”
“不过，按照陈英所说，我目前已经算有了收获。可以提前离开陨仙境。”
Affected by the Spirit Mist Grass incident, fewer cultivators gathered here.
“ zhǐ xū zài xīn zhōng nì xiàng mó nǐ yī fān yí shì jí kě 。”
“只需在心中逆向模拟一番仪式即可。”
Li Fan casually chose a fish to bet on. He then approached some nearby Golden Core cultivators, subtly asking about information regarding the Realm of Fallen Immortals.
“ jiù shì bù zhī ， mǎn bù mǎn zú jiāng wù pǐn dài huí xiàn shí de tiáo jiàn 。”
“就是不知，满不满足将物品带回现实的条件。”
After chatting, Li Fan learned that they entered different locations each time.
xiǎng yào jiāng yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de wù pǐn 、 xìn xī dài huí xiàn shí shì jiè ， shì bì xū yào mǎn zú tè dìng de tiáo jiàn de 。
想要将陨仙境中的物品、信息带回现实世界，是必须要满足特定的条件的。
Sometimes they were immediately caught in major battles and killed by powerful figures.
jù tǐ shì shén me tiáo jiàn ， nà tiān chén yīng jiè shào shí ， yě shì shuō de yǔ yān bù xiáng 。
具体是什么条件，那天陈英介绍时，也是说的语焉不详。
Other times, with good luck, they occupied a sect disciple's body. However, finding conditions to take out techniques within just ten or so days was difficult. They could only watch the technique disappear from their memories in disappointment.
"Oxiashe Washing, Perceiving the Soul..."
In an instant, a soul-perception technique spanning no more than several thousand words appeared in Li Fan's mind.
"Junior brother, you wait here. I'll be right back!" Zhang Qianmo said and departed without waiting for Li Fan's response.
"Soul Perception of Oxiashe..." After carefully reading through this unique soul-perception technique of the Oxiashe Sect, Li Fan had mastered it to a great extent.
The technique clearly stated that in today’s world of cultivation, various sects, righteous and evil cultivators, ordinary cultivators, and all kinds of demons and beasts were constantly at odds. Murdering for treasures and soul-perception were common occurrences.
Soul-perception referred to reading the memories stored within one's opponent's soul through certain means. Depending on their style and habits, there were various methods.
Some were cruel and brutal; after soul-perception, they would cause permanent damage to the soul. Even if a cultivator survived such an ordeal, they might become as foolish as a madman, unable to control their fate.
Others were fortunate enough to witness the teaching of the Immortal Sovereign and gain supreme techniques.
From that moment on, one no longer needed a spiritual root to cultivate!
In just ten years, he had already achieved the Golden Core realm!
The Immortal Sovereign said: "The path of immortality..."
Under the young man's guidance, dozens among these ordinary people managed to condense their roots and enter the Qi Refinement stage right there.
Although Ruitu was slightly less talented, he still memorized The Five Sensory Qi Method. After a few weeks at home, he successfully guided his qi into his body and became an actual cultivator.
After that, Ruitu found and joined the newly formed organization of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance created by the new independent cultivators.
Choosing the most popular cultivation technique, The Heavenly Net Divine Skill, as his main practice, Ruitu spent another five or six years refining his foundation with a rare treasure from the mountains, the Spirit参.
This was when Chu Liang approached him and arranged for them to ambush Zhang Qianmo and Li Chen in Ningyuan City.
The title of Inner Sect Disciple within the Oxiashe Sect gave Ruitu some fear. However, with Song He and Song Song as his leaders and The True Art of Imperial Lightning as a tempting technique, he agreed without much hesitation.
After all, according to intelligence, these two were only late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Who would have thought that meeting Zhang Qianmo, who could even refine into the Golden Core Realm...
"Bang!"
The soul-perception was complete. Li Fan threw the limp Ruitu onto the ground and gently massaged his throbbing temples.
He calmed down his agitated soul.
Soul-perception techniques were versatile; they allowed one to see all secrets stored in an enemy's mind. However, there were risks involved.
The consumption of his own divine essence was enormous. Li Fan had overexerted himself.
More dangerously, if he encountered someone who pretended to be weak but was actually a tiger, he might suffer a fatal counterattack during the soul-perception process.
If caught off guard and unable to defend, not only would his soul receive severe damage, but there was also a risk of being "soul-perceived" in return.
"While I am just a divine consciousness manifestation here in the Realm of Fallen Immortals, my divine essence is weaker than that of my original self. However, this consumption is still too high," Li Fan couldn't help but doubt if he had used the wrong method after recalling Zhang Qianmo's relaxed demeanor.
After reviewing Li Chen’s memories and thinking for a moment, Li Fan understood.
At this point in time, major sects invested heavily in their elite disciples. All sorts of talents and treasures were readily available, and various secret techniques could be chosen at will.
From practical combat training to refining divine essence, followed by guidance from senior elders, the path to rapid growth was clear if one performed well.
In contrast, in today's world of cultivation, a complete technique was split into several parts, clearly limiting cultivators' power.
To enhance oneself with rare treasures or secret techniques?
First, complete tasks and accumulate contributions!
Even after accumulating enough contributions, one still couldn't find the desired items.
Oh, maybe it was due to insufficient permissions; one needed to complete some merit missions over a few years!
...
Although he didn’t know what was happening at the Five Elders' meeting, it seemed similar. Most cultivators in reality were probably not even considered as scattered sects by Zhang Qianmo.
According to Ruitu’s memories, the initial Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance provided various techniques and secret arts.
For instance, The Heavenly Net Divine Skill was a comprehensive technique, covering everything from qi control to array formations...
It was an excellent introductory cultivation method. Although not top-tier in every aspect, it was still well-rounded.
Li Fan couldn't estimate how expensive this technique would be in the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
This was just one of the free techniques provided at that point in time among dozens available.
The comparison made Li Fan feel "Damn, why has the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance become like this?"
The difference between this and scattered sects was so great. Compared to Zhang Qianmo, a major sect elite, there was even more of a gap.
Although Li Fan had the True Art of Immortality and could cycle through countless lives with his divine essence far surpassing ordinary cultivators, he hadn’t been systematically strengthened or given any rare treasures.
Thus, he still fell short compared to Zhang Qianmo.
Li Fan reviewed his current situation and frowned slightly.
"Due to excessive consumption of my divine essence, the time I can stay in the Realm of Fallen Immortals has significantly decreased."
...
"I originally could have stayed for about half a month, but now it's only seven or eight days."
"However, according to Chen Ying, I've already achieved some results and can leave early. I just need to reverse simulate the ritual."
"But I'm not sure if this meets the conditions to bring items back to reality."
To bring items from the Realm of Fallen Immortals back to reality required specific conditions.
The exact details were vague when Chen Ying introduced them.
Currently, there was no information on the Realm of Fallen Immortals in the Heavenly Oxiashe Mirror. Li Fan could only explore on his own.
"Higher value items are harder to bring."
"I don't need to think about The Heavenly Net Divine Skill for now. Bringing The Soul Perception Technique of Oxiashe is enough."
"What conditions are these? Kill Zhang Qianmo?"
Li Fan was currently at a loss.
"No matter what, I'll return to reality first."
"Maybe I can recall the details of soul-perception in reality?"
After some contemplation, Li Fan made his decision and began reversing the ritual in his mind.
A wave of dizziness hit him. In an instant, the surroundings fragmented like stars.
Li Fan's consciousness returned to the Heavenly Oxiashe Mirror.
He began recalling all the scenes from his journey through the Realm of Fallen Immortals.
Every detail and conversation with Zhang Qianmo was vividly remembered.
However, when he tried to recall The Soul Perception Technique of Oxiashe and The Heavenly Net Divine Skill, nothing came to mind.
It was like trying to catch water in a bamboo basket.
"Sure enough, it's not that easy."
"In my hands is the treasure, but it’s like a flower in a mirror or a moon in water—unattainable..."
"This feeling is really uncomfortable."
"I need to go back inside and find specific conditions."
Fortunately, this time he had voluntarily exited. The required waiting period was significantly shortened.
During the wait, Li Fan bought Song Wei's Talisman, disguising himself as a Golden Core cultivator.
He then purchased an appearance-changing pill, disguised himself, and arrived at Dingyu Island.
Affected by the Spirit Mist Grass incident, fewer cultivators gathered here.
Li Fan casually chose a fish to bet on. He then approached some nearby Golden Core cultivators, subtly asking about information regarding the Realm of Fallen Immortals.
After chatting, Li Fan learned that they entered different locations each time.
Sometimes they were immediately caught in major battles and killed by powerful figures.
