bào nüè 、 fēng kuáng zhī yì ， cóng qī hēi de jù shǒu shàng sàn fà ér chū 。
暴虐、疯狂之意，从漆黑的巨手上散发而出。
Bursting with cruelty and madness, the aura emanated from the massive black hand.
gēn zhī qián bèi zhèn yā de tiān shā jiàn rú chū yī zhé 。
跟之前被镇压的天煞剑如出一辙。
It was identical to how the Heaven Saber Sword had been suppressed earlier.
rán ér ， bù děng zhè chōng mǎn shā qì de jù shǒu yǒu suǒ dòng zuò 。
然而，不等这充满煞气的巨手有所动作。
However, before this malevolent hand could make any move, a boundless amount of blue light suddenly lit up in the depths of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace behind Taiyi Pavilion.
tài yī diàn hòu fāng ， yún shuǐ tiān gōng shēn chù ， hū de liàng qǐ wú liàng liàng de lán guāng 。
太一殿后方，云水天宫深处，忽的亮起无量量的蓝光。
The blue light seemed like an inverted ocean hanging above the sky.
rú tóng wú jìn de dà yáng dào xuán yú tiān kōng zhī shàng 。
如同无尽的大洋倒悬于天空之上。
Under the envelopment and illumination of the blue light, it appeared as if the hand was being endlessly washed by waves.
zài lán guāng de guǒ xié hé yìng zhào zhī xià ， fǎng fú bù duàn bèi wú jìn de hǎi shuǐ bù tíng chōng shuā 。
在蓝光的裹挟和映照之下，仿佛不断被无尽的海水不停冲刷。
The blackness on the hand gradually faded away.
zhè zhǐ jù shǒu shàng de qī hēi màn màn tùn qù 。
这只巨手上的漆黑慢慢褪去。
It returned to its original color.
chóng xīn biàn huí le tā yuán běn de yán sè 。
重新变回了它原本的颜色。
The blue light suddenly withdrew, and the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace fell silent once more.
lán guāng zhòu rán shōu huí ， yún shuǐ tiān gōng chóng xīn biàn dé yī piàn jì jìng 。
蓝光骤然收回，云水天宫重新变得一片寂静。
Many cultivators who witnessed this strange phenomenon thought that some rare treasure had emerged from there.
ér mù dǔ cǐ yì biàn de xǔ duō xiū shì ， yǐ wéi nà biān yǒu shén me yì bǎo xiàn shì 。
而目睹此异变的许多修士，以为那边有什么异宝现世。
They bravely approached to see what it was.
tā men zhuàng zhe dǎn zi ， còu le guò qù ， yī kàn jiū jìng 。
他们壮着胆子，凑了过去，一看究竟。
What they first saw were several headsless corpses scattered on the ground.
jié guǒ shǒu xiān jiàn dào de què shì dào le yī dì de 、 shí jǐ jù wú tóu shī shǒu 。
结果首先见到的却是倒了一地的、十几具无头尸首。
Their expressions turned pale.
fēn fēn sè biàn 。
纷纷色变。
Recalling the black sword with ominous aura they had seen earlier, everyone hesitated and quickly retreated.
lián xiǎng dào zhī qián jiàn dào de sàn fà zhe hēi sè bù xiáng qì xī de jù jiàn ， zhòng rén bù gǎn yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò ， huāng máng tuì le huí qù 。
联想到之前见到的散发着黑色不详气息的巨剑，众人不敢有多余的动作，慌忙退了回去。
The news of the strange occurrence in the depths of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace spread rapidly among cultivators in Cunyun Sea.
yún shuǐ tiān gōng shēn chù chū xiàn yì biàn 、 shí fēn wēi xiǎn de xiāo xī hěn kuài tōng guò xiū shì bù duàn jiāo liú ， chuán biàn le cóng yún hǎi 。
云水天宫深处出现异变、十分危险的消息很快通过修士不断交流，传遍了丛云海。
"Seems like it won't be as easy to trick people into activating the Heaven Saber Sword's body next time."
“ kàn lái ， xià yī cì xiǎng yào kuāng rén zài qù yǐn dòng tiān shā jiàn shēn ， jiù méi nà me róng yì le 。”
“看来，下一次想要诓人再去引动天煞剑身，就没那么容易了。”
"But with the Secret Art [One Dao of Transformation], there is no difference whether I observe once or multiple times. It makes no real difference for me."
“ bù guò ， yǒu le 【 huà shén dào yī 】 mì shù 。 guān mó yī cì ， hé guān mó duō cì ， duì wǒ ér yán ， méi yǒu shí jì qū bié 。”
“不过，有了【化神道一】秘术。观摩一次，和观摩多次，对我而言，没有实际区别。”
Having achieved his goal, Li Fan quietly returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
cǐ xíng mù dì yǐ jīng dá dào ， lǐ fán qiǎo rán fǎn huí le wàn xiān dǎo 。
此行目的已经达到，李凡悄然返回了万仙岛。
In the Heavenly Mirror, he repeatedly replayed in his mind the scene where the Heaven Saber Sword was drawn and its faint tremor cut down more than a dozen cultivators' lives with just a slight vibration.
tiān xuán jìng zhōng ， tā bù duàn zài nǎo hǎi zhōng huí fàng zhe tiān shā jiàn chū qiào ， zhǐ wēi wēi zhèn chàn jiàn míng ， jiù shōu gē shí duō xiū shì xìng mìng de huà miàn 。
天玄镜中，他不断在脑海中回放着天煞剑出鞘，只微微震颤剑鸣，就收割十多修士性命的画面。
From the perspective of the entire universe, Li Fan saw that when the sound arrived, the peaceful heavenly and earthly qi around the cultivators suddenly became chaotic.
tiān dì shì jiǎo xià ， lǐ fán kàn dào ， xiū shì zhōu wéi ， yuán běn píng hé de tiān dì líng qì ， zài shēng yīn dào lái de shí hòu ， chà nà bào luàn qǐ lái 。
天地视角下，李凡看到，修士周围，原本平和的天地灵气，在声音到来的时候，刹那暴乱起来。
It seemed like sharp yet gentle strings of a musical instrument, constantly vibrating and exploding the heads of the cultivators.
fǎng fú huà zuò fēng lì ér yòu róu hé de qín xián ， zài bù duàn tiào dòng zhōng ， jiāng xiū shì de nǎo dài nòng bào 。
仿佛化作锋利而又柔和的琴弦，在不断跳动中，将修士的脑袋弄爆。
"Evil..."
“ shā ……”
“煞……”
After repeatedly contemplating this scene for hundreds of times, Li Fan gradually gained some understanding.
bù tíng chóng fù tǐ wù le shù bǎi biàn ， lǐ fán màn màn yǒu suǒ lǐng wù 。
不停重复体悟了数百遍，李凡慢慢有所领悟。
He switched his focus to what happened next.
huà miàn yī zhuǎn ， lǐ fán yòu jiāng zhù yì lì jí zhōng zài le hòu miàn fā shēng de nà duàn shì qíng shàng 。
画面一转，李凡又将注意力集中在了后面发生的那段事情上。
A boundless amount of blue light poured into the sky, resembling an inverted ocean.
wú liàng liàng lán guāng yǒng shàng tiān jì ， fǎng fú dào zhì de hǎi yáng yì bān 。
无量量蓝光涌上天际，仿佛倒置的海洋一般。
It was magnificent and grand.
páng bó ér yòu zhuàng guān 。
磅礴而又壮观。
Li Fan carefully pondered over it.
lǐ fán xì xì gǎn wù zhe 。
李凡细细感悟着。
"This blue energy feels very familiar."
“ zhè gǔ lán sè néng liàng ， gěi wǒ de gǎn jué shí fēn shú xī 。”
“这股蓝色能量，给我的感觉十分熟悉。”
"It seems similar to Cunyun Sea."
“ sì hū gēn cóng yún hǎi jí wéi lèi sì 。”
“似乎跟丛云海极为类似。”
"But for some reason, this blue light's representation of the ocean is much wider than Cunyun Sea..."
“ dàn bù zhī wèi hé ， zhè lán guāng dài biǎo de hǎi yáng yì xiàng ， jū rán fǎng fú bǐ cóng yún hǎi hái yào guǎng kuò xǔ duō ……”
“但不知为何，这蓝光代表的海洋意象，居然仿佛比丛云海还要广阔许多……”
"Vast Ocean..."
“ hàn hǎi ……”
“瀚海……”
Originally, he had planned to condense a golden core using Heaven Saber and Ink Killing methods first.
yuán běn xiǎng zhe zuì xiān yòng tiān shā 、 mò shā zhī fǎ níng jié jīn dān 。
原本想着最先用天煞、墨杀之法凝结金丹。
But after unexpectedly seeing the Vast Ocean blue light, Li Fan hesitated again.
dàn shì yì wài jiàn dào hàn hǎi lán guāng zhī hòu ， lǐ fán yòu yǒu suǒ yóu yù le 。
但是意外见到瀚海蓝光之后，李凡又有所犹豫了。
This Vast Ocean blue light seemed to share the same origin as Cunyun Sea.
zhè hàn hǎi lán guāng ， sì hū gēn cóng yún hǎi tóng zōng tóng yuán 。
这瀚海蓝光，似乎跟丛云海同宗同源。
Given his deep familiarity with Cunyun Sea and even personally building his Dao base with the Pearl of the Vast Sea, condensing a golden core using the Vast Ocean method would be more advantageous.
ér lǐ fán duì cóng yún hǎi jí wéi shú xī ， gèng céng qīn zì yòng cāng hǎi zhū zhù jiù dào jī 。
而李凡对丛云海极为熟悉，更曾亲自用沧海珠筑就道基。
"Judging from the scene where Heaven Saber could infect and transform blue light. Perhaps simply using the Heaven Saber method might slightly influence one's mind, making it hard to suppress the violent killing intent."
yǐ hàn hǎi zhī fǎ níng jié jīn dān ， xiǎn rán yōu shì gèng dà 。
以瀚海之法凝结金丹，显然优势更大。
"But the Vast Ocean light can serve as a buffer."
“ cóng nà tiān shā néng gòu qīn rǎn zhuǎn huà lán guāng de yí mù kě yǐ kàn chū 。 huò xǔ dān chún de tiān shā zhī fǎ ， huì duì xīn zhì zào chéng xiē xǔ yǐng xiǎng ， nán yǐ yì zhì bào nüè de shā yì 。”
“从那天煞能够侵染转化蓝光的一幕可以看出。或许单纯的天煞之法，会对心志造成些许影响，难以抑制暴虐的杀意。”
"And with the Ink Killing method, if the Vast Ocean method falls short, I can supplement it with the Blue Flame method..."
“ ér hàn hǎi lán guāng ， zhèng hǎo kě yǐ dàng zuò huǎn chōng 。”
“而瀚海蓝光，正好可以当做缓冲。”
"To condense a Four Symbols Golden Core in one go."
“ zài jiā shàng mò shā zhī fǎ ， hàn hǎi zhī fǎ yǒu bù dǎi de huà ， kě yǐ zài fǔ zhī yǐ lán yán zhī fǎ ……”
“再加上墨杀之法，瀚海之法有不逮的话，可以再辅之以蓝炎之法……”
After setting this tone, Li Fan temporarily put aside other matters and delved into his seclusion for arduous cultivation.
“ yí cì xìng níng jié chéng yī kē sì xiàng jīn dān 。”
“一次性凝结成一颗四象金丹。”
The duration of condensing a golden core varied based on individual cultivators' aptitude and the technique they practiced.
chū bù dìng xià jī diào ， lǐ fán biàn zàn shí jiāng qí tā shì qíng pāo zhī nǎo hòu ， xiàn rù le bì guān kǔ xiū zhī zhōng 。
初步定下基调，李凡便暂时将其他事情抛之脑后，陷入了闭关苦修之中。
Zhang Haobo had condensed a false golden core using water wind method in just over a month under the willpower enhancement from Cunyun Sea.
níng jié jīn dān de guò chéng cháng duǎn ， àn zhào gè rén zī zhì 、 suǒ xiū zhī fǎ de bù tóng ， ér gè yǒu chā yì 。
凝结金丹的过程长短，按照个人资质、所修之法的不同，而各有差异。
But for Li Fan, it would likely be much harder.
zhī qián zhāng hào bō zài cóng yún hǎi yì zhì jiā chí xià ， qián hòu bù guò yuè yú shí jiān ， jiù yǐ shuǐ fēng zhī fǎ ， níng jié chū le yī kē jiǎ dān 。
之前张浩波在丛云海意志加持下，前后不过月余时间，就以水风之法，凝结出了一颗假丹。
The base strange object quietly transformed into the Pearl of the Vast Sea.
rán ér huàn chéng lǐ fán ， kǒng pà jiù méi yǒu zhè me róng yì le 。
然而换成李凡，恐怕就没有这么容易了。
A thin strand of blue light representing the power of the Water attributelaw emerged from the pearl.
zhù jī qí wù qiǎo rán biàn huàn chéng cāng hǎi zhū 。
筑基奇物悄然变换成沧海珠。
Like silk threads, it centered on the base strange object and wove around it.
dài biǎo zhe shuǐ shǔ xìng fǎ zé zhī lì de sī sī lán guāng ， cóng cāng hǎi zhū shàng yǒng chū 。
代表着水属性法则之力的丝丝蓝光，从沧海珠上涌出。
Li Fan visualized the scene where the Vast Ocean acted.
rú tóng cán sī yì bān ， yǐ zhù jī qí wù wèi hé xīn ， zài wài biān zhī huán rào zhe 。
如同蚕丝一般，以筑基奇物为核心，在外编织环绕着。
He mixed his rule comprehension with this visualization.
lǐ fán guān xiǎng hàn hǎi chū shǒu de huà miàn 。
李凡观想瀚海出手的画面。
The blue light emanating from the Pearl of the Vast Sea seemed to change instantly.
jiāng zì jǐ de fǎ zé gǎn wù càn zá qí zhōng 。
将自己的法则感悟掺杂其中。
It became deeper and more ancient.
cāng hǎi zhū shàng yǒng chū de lán guāng chà nà jiān sì hū fā shēng le biàn huà 。
沧海珠上涌出的蓝光刹那间似乎发生了变化。
Due to the many commonalities between the Dao base, the Pearl of the Vast Sea, and the Vast Ocean method, this process was much faster than Li Fan had anticipated.
biàn dé gèng jiā shēn suì yǔ gǔ lǎo 。
变得更加深邃与古老。
Gradually, a deep blue aura enveloped around the pearl.
yóu yú cǐ shí de dào jī cāng hǎi zhū ， hé hàn hǎi zhī fǎ yǒu xǔ duō gòng tōng zhī chù de yuán gù 。
由于此时的道基沧海珠，和瀚海之法有许多共通之处的缘故。
A rudimentary "golden core" began to take shape.
zhè ge jìn chéng bǐ lǐ fán yù xiǎng zhōng de yào kuài shàng xǔ duō 。
这个进程比李凡预想中的要快上许多。
"If I continue like this, purely using the Vast Ocean method, perhaps I could condense it immediately."
jiàn jiàn de ， cāng hǎi zhū zhōu wéi ， méng shàng yī quān shēn lán sè guāng yùn 。
渐渐的，沧海珠周围，蒙上一圈深蓝色光晕。
"But that is not my goal."
yī kē jí qí jiǎn lòu de “ jīn dān ”， xiàn chū le chú xíng 。
一颗极其简陋的“金丹”，现出了雏形。
"Now, add Heaven Saber method."
“ ruò shì zhè me yì zhí xià qù ， chún cuì yǐ hàn hǎi zhī fǎ de jīn dān ， shuō bù dìng jiù néng mǎ shàng níng jié le 。”
“若是这么一直下去，纯粹以瀚海之法的金丹，说不定就能马上凝结了。”
The scene of the Heaven Saber Sword's appearance flashed in hissea of recognition.
“ bù guò ， zhè què bìng fēi wǒ de mù biāo 。”
“不过，这却并非我的目标。”
A faint blackness suddenly emerged from the core of the strange object and spread like ink in the blue light.
“ jiē xià lái ， zēng tiān tiān shā zhī fǎ 。”
“接下来，增添天煞之法。”
However, Li Fan frowned slightly. This blackness representing the Heaven Saber method could not persist for long.
shí hǎi zhōng bù duàn shǎn xiàn tiān shā jiàn chū qiào de chà nà 。
识海中不断闪现天煞剑出鞘的刹那。
It only lasted a moment within the blue light's embrace before dissipating completely.
yī lǚ lǚ qī hēi ， hū de zì qí wù hé xīn zhōng yǒng chū 。
一缕缕漆黑，忽的自奇物核心中涌出。
Li Fan, having read many cultivators' experiences with condensing golden cores, immediately understood why.
rú tóng mò shuǐ bān ， zài lán guāng zhōng sì yì kāi lái 。
如同墨水般，在蓝光中四溢开来。
These were because the Heaven Saber method had no foundation in Li Fan's body.
dàn ràng lǐ fán wēi wēi zhòu méi de shì ， zhè dài biǎo zhe tiān shā zhī fǎ de qī hēi sè ， què bìng bù néng chí xù xǔ jiǔ 。
但让李凡微微皱眉的是，这代表着天煞之法的漆黑色，却并不能持续许久。
Like water without its source or a tree without roots, it could only appear momentarily but not persist long.
zhǐ zài lán guāng de bāo wéi zhōng ， jiān chí le piàn kè ， jiù xiāo sàn wú zōng 。
只在蓝光的包围中，坚持了片刻，就消散无踪。
The Vast Ocean method, with the Dao base as the Pearl of the Vast Sea, naturally flowed endlessly.
yǐ jīng yuè dú guò xǔ duō xiū shì jié dān jīng yàn de lǐ fán ， xīn zhōng mǎ shàng míng bái guò lái 。
已经阅读过许多修士结丹经验的李凡，心中马上明白过来。
This was also why many cultivators often needed to travel and personally experience the heavenly and earthly methods during their condensation process.
zhè xiē yīn wèi ， tiān shā zhī fǎ ， zài lǐ fán tǐ nèi ， méi yǒu gēn jī de yuán gù 。
这些因为，天煞之法，在李凡体内，没有根基的缘故。
But Li Fan couldn't follow this path.
yóu rú wú yuán zhī shuǐ wú běn zhī mù ， zhǐ néng zhà xiàn ， bù néng chí jiǔ 。
犹如无源之水无本之木，只能乍现，不能持久。
He faced increasing dangers from Heaven Saber, Vast Ocean, and Ink Killing methods.
hàn hǎi zhī fǎ ， yǒu dào jī cāng hǎi zhū ， zì rán néng yuán yuán bù jué 。
瀚海之法，有道基沧海珠，自然能源源不绝。
Going to the scene might result in his failure instead of success.
zhè yě shì xiū shì jié dān ， wǎng wǎng bù néng jiān gù duō fǎ de yuán yīn 。
这也是修士结丹，往往不能兼顾多法的原因。
"But fortunately, I have [True Authenticity]."
méi yǒu zì shēn dào jī zuò wéi gēn běn ， xiǎng yào jù fǎ wèi dān ， tán hé róng yì 。
没有自身道基作为根本，想要聚法为丹，谈何容易。
With a thought, the base strange object instantly transformed into the Heaven Saber intent.
lǐ fán cháng shì le xǔ jiǔ ， níng jù tiān shā zhī fǎ de sù dù ， shì shǐ zhōng gǎn bù shàng tā sàn yì de sù dù 。
李凡尝试了许久，凝聚天煞之法的速度，是始终赶不上它散溢的速度。
The originally coalesced blue Vast Ocean method lost its foundation and began to dissipate.
chén yín le piàn kè ， lǐ fán zàn shí fàng qì le cháng shì 。
沉吟了片刻，李凡暂时放弃了尝试。
However, since it had already formed its own strength, its dissipation was much slower.
ér shì sī suǒ qǐ dāng chū zhāng hào bō jié dān shí de huà miàn 。
而是思索起当初张浩波结丹时的画面。
This period was enough for Li Fan to condense the Heaven Saber method.
hēi sè jiàn yì xū yǐng ， bèi fàng dà liǎo wú shù bèi ， chù lì yú tiān dì zhī jiān 。
黑色剑意虚影，被放大了无数倍，矗立于天地之间。
Blackness grew thicker.
qīng sè de fēng ， cóng shàng fāng de jiàn jiān ， chuī fú jìn rù jiàn shēn 。
青色的风，从上方的剑尖，吹拂进入剑身。
It seemed like a blue ball of water wearing layer after layer of black shackles.
lán sè de shuǐ ， cóng xià fāng de jiàn bǐng ， liú tǎng jìn rù jiàn shēn 。
蓝色的水，从下方的剑柄，流淌进入剑身。
Time passed slowly.
qīng lán hēi sān sè hùn zá ， jiàn shēn huǎn huǎn níng shí 。
青蓝黑三色混杂，剑身缓缓凝实。
After establishing theembryo form of the Heaven Saber method, Li Fan immediately switched the base strange object back to the Pearl of the Vast Sea.
……
……
He maintained the blue Vast Ocean method again.
lǐ fán yǎn jīng wēi liàng ， ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
李凡眼睛微亮，若有所思。
Repeating this process, gradually, a golden core virtual image centered on [True Authenticity] began to appear in his dantian.
Bursting with cruelty and madness, the aura emanated from the massive black hand.
It was identical to how the Heaven Saber Sword had been suppressed earlier.
However, before this malevolent hand could make any move, a boundless amount of blue light suddenly lit up in the depths of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace behind Taiyi Pavilion.
The blue light seemed like an inverted ocean hanging above the sky.
