zhǐ lái de jí kàn dào ， hái zi men xīng fèn dì cù yōng zhe yí gè shēn zhe qīng shān de shòu xuē shēn yǐng ， lǐ fán jiù bèi pò lí kāi le yǔn xiān jìng 。
只来得及看到，孩子们兴奋地簇拥着一个身着青衫的瘦削身影，李凡就被迫离开了陨仙境。
Only just managing to see the children enthusiastically簇拥着一个穿着青衫的瘦削身影，Li Fan was forced to leave the Realm of Fallen Spirit.
yī zhèn tiān xuán dì zhuàn zhī hòu ， lǐ fán huí dào le xiàn shí shì jiè zhōng 。
一阵天旋地转之后，李凡回到了现实世界中。
After a dizzying spin through the space, Li Fan returned to the real world.
“ bái xiān shēng ……”
“白先生……”
"Mr. Bai..."
“ zhè piàn yí niàn shí kōng de zhǔ rén ， shì nǐ me ？”
“这片遗念时空的主人，是你么？”
"Is this realm of lost memories yours?"
suī rán zhè cì tàn xiǎn méi yǒu rèn hé shí jì shōu huò ， dàn lǐ fán zhì shǎo què rèn le yī jiàn shì 。
虽然这次探险没有任何实际收获，但李凡至少确认了一件事。
Although this expedition yielded no tangible results, Li Fan at least confirmed one thing: Mr. Bai had some strange intentions.
zhè wèi bái xiān shēng ， yǒu gǔ guài 。
这位白先生，有古怪。
In the realm of lost memories, without his intervention, events should have remained fixed each time they occurred.
zài yí niàn shí kōng zhōng ， rú guǒ méi yǒu lǐ fán chā shǒu gǎi biàn de huà ， měi cì fā shēng de shì qíng yīng dāng shì gù dìng bù biàn de 。
在遗念时空中，如果没有李凡插手改变的话，每次发生的事情应当是固定不变的。
Based on previous experiences, Mr. Bai was expected to visit the children shortly after the great battle ended.
gēn jù zhī qián de jīng lì ， zhè bái xiān shēng yīng gāi zài dà zhàn jié shù hòu bù jiǔ ， jiù huì lái dào xiǎo miào kàn wàng hái zi men 。
根据之前的经历，这白先生应该在大战结束后不久，就会来到小庙看望孩子们。
But this time...
dàn shì zhè cì ……
但是这次……
"So coincidental, just as I was about to leave, he arrived?"
“ zhè me qiǎo ， wǒ gāng yào lí qù ， tā jiù lái le ？”
“这么巧，我刚要离去，他就来了？”
Li Fan did not believe it was merely a simple coincidence.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù rèn wéi zhè zhǐ shì yī zhǒng jiǎn dān de qiǎo hé 。
李凡心中不认为这只是一种简单的巧合。
Mr. Bai seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, or perhaps there were some special reasons preventing Li Fan from seeing him.
zhè wèi bái xiān shēng ， zài gù yì duǒ zhe zì jǐ 。
这位白先生，在故意躲着自己。
Just like how Li Fan could not leave Ningyuan City, the specific rules of this entire realm of lost memories applied.
yòu huò zhě shuō ， yīn wèi mǒu zhǒng tè shū de yuán yīn ， lǐ fán wú fǎ jiàn dào tā 。
又或者说，因为某种特殊的原因，李凡无法见到他。
Without delving too deeply into why such events occurred, it was quite probable that Mr. Bai was indeed the master of this realm of lost memories.
jiù xiàng lǐ fán wú fǎ lí kāi níng yuǎn chéng yī yàng 。
就像李凡无法离开宁远城一样。
So the question arose: What was Mr. Bai's obsession?
shì zhěng piàn níng yuǎn chéng yí niàn shí kōng de jù tǐ guī zé 。
是整片宁远城遗念时空的具体规则。
Considering the children's evaluation of him as "the best big good guy in the world," and his proactive rescue efforts and active treatment of injured individuals...
zàn qiě bù qù shēn jiū wèi shén me huì fā shēng zhè zhǒng shì ， rú cǐ fēn xī xià lái ， bái xiān shēng shì yí niàn shí kōng de zhǔ rén de gài lǜ ， hái shì tǐng dà de 。
暂且不去深究为什么会发生这种事，如此分析下来，白先生是遗念时空的主人的概率，还是挺大的。
The image of Ningyuan City after the great battle, with its desolate appearance and scattered corpses, flashed through Li Fan's mind.
nà me wèn tí lái le ， bái xiān shēng de zhí niàn shì shén me ？
那么问题来了，白先生的执念是什么？
"Affected by cultivators' battles, my hometown almost turned into a dead zone."
lián xiǎng dào hái zi men duì yú tā de píng jià ： shì jiè shàng zuì hǎo de dà hǎo rén 。
联想到孩子们对于他的评价：世界上最好的大好人。
"If this cruel scene had never happened..."
zài jiā shàng tā huì zhǔ dòng zǔ zhī jiù yuán ， bìng qiě jī jí yī zhì shāng yuán 。
再加上他会主动组织救援，并且积极医治伤员。
"Is that your obsession?"
……
……
Li Fan pondered deeply.
dà zhàn zhī hòu wǎn ruò mò shì jiàng lín 、 biàn dì sǐ shī de níng yuǎn chéng jǐng xiàng bù yóu dì fú xiàn zài lǐ fán yǎn qián 。
大战之后宛若末世降临、遍地死尸的宁远城景象不由地浮现在李凡眼前。
While other possibilities could not be ruled out, based on the current clues, this was the most likely scenario.
“ bèi xiū shì zhàn dòu bō jí ， jiā xiāng jī hū huà zuò sǐ yù 。”
“被修士战斗波及，家乡几乎化作死域。”
"It seems difficult to resolve the matter of the longevity fruit in Ningyuan City without any civilian casualties."
“ rú guǒ zhè yí mù cán rěn de jǐng xiàng ， yǒng yuǎn bù céng fā shēng guò duō hǎo 。”
“如果这一幕残忍的景象，永远不曾发生过多好。”
After deducing the result, Li Fan needed to find a way to verify it.
“ zhè jiù shì nǐ de zhí niàn ？”
“这就是你的执念？”
However, achieving this goal seemed more challenging than simply defeating his senior brother Zhang.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
李凡心中若有所思。
---
suī rán bù pái chú yǒu qí tā kě néng ， kě shì gēn jù mù qián suǒ zhī xiàn suǒ jiàn lì de bái xiān shēng rén shè lái kàn ， zhè shì kě néng xìng zuì dà de yī zhǒng 。
虽然不排除有其他可能，可是根据目前所知线索建立的白先生人设来看，这是可能性最大的一种。
Firstly, he did not need to consider the formidable Senior Brother Zhang with supreme divine might.
“ jǐn liàng zài méi yǒu fán rén shāng wáng de qíng kuàng xià ， jiě jué níng yuǎn chéng qǔ shòu guǒ shì jiàn me ？ yǒu diǎn nán bàn a 。”
“尽量在没有凡人伤亡的情况下，解决宁远城取寿果事件么？有点难办啊。”
Capturing Jin丹中期 Song and Song without affecting civilians was no easy task.
tuī cè le chū liǎo jié guǒ ， jiē xià lái jiù shì yào xiǎng fāng fǎ yàn zhèng le 。
推测了出了结果，接下来就是要想方法验证了。
"Fortunately, I have the [Binding Insects] Divine Power as a fallback. Let's try various methods."
bù guò xiǎng yào dá chéng zhè ge mù biāo ， sì hū bǐ qǐ dān chún de jī bài zhāng shī xiōng ， hái yào kùn nán 。
不过想要达成这个目标，似乎比起单纯的击败章师兄，还要困难。
"If that fails, I'll resolve this issue after reaching my Golden Core realm."
xiān bù tí shén wēi wú dí de zhāng shī xiōng 。
先不提神威无敌的章师兄。
Seeing hope of escaping Ningyuan City, Li Fan found it not much of an inconvenience to spend some extra time.
guāng shì nà jīn dān zhōng qī de sòng hé sòng ， xiǎng yào zài bù bō jí fán rén de qián tí xià bǎ qí zhuō ná ， jiù bú shì yī jiàn róng yì de shì 。
光是那金丹中期的宋和颂，想要在不波及凡人的前提下把其捉拿，就不是一件容易的事。
After mentally formulating his plan for the next trip to the Realm of Fallen Spirit, Li Fan recalled the strange stone from the small temple.
“ hǎo zài wǒ yǒu 【 fù chóng 】 shén tōng dōu dǐ 。 xiān gè zhǒng fāng fǎ dōu shì yī shì 。”
“好在我有【缚虫】神通兜底。先各种方法都试一试。”
He searched through the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.
“ shí zài bù xíng ， jiù děng wǒ jīn dān qī hòu ， zài lái jiě jué cǐ shì le 。”
“实在不行，就等我金丹期后，再来解决此事了。”
It wasn't a secret; he easily found relevant information.
zǒng guī kàn dào le cóng níng yuǎn chéng tuō kùn de xī wàng 。 zhì yú yào duō hào fèi nà me yì diǎn shí jiān ， duì yú lǐ fán lái shuō ， fǎn ér yǐng xiǎng bù dà 。
总归看到了从宁远城脱困的希望。至于要多耗费那么一点时间，对于李凡来说，反而影响不大。
[Absolute Immortal Stone] was what cultivators called this type of stone.
mò mò zài xīn zhōng nǐ dìng le xià yī cì jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng hòu de xíng dòng jì huà hòu ， lǐ fán yòu huí xiǎng qǐ xiǎo miào zhōng de nà kē xuán qí wú bǐ de shí tou 。
默默在心中拟定了下一次进入陨仙境后的行动计划后，李凡又回想起小庙中的那颗玄奇无比的石头。
Its effects were similar to his experiments: it could isolate all spiritual energy and divine consciousness.
dāng xià zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng sōu suǒ qǐ lái 。
当下在天玄镜中搜索起来。
In ancient times, it was commonly used for constructing secret chambers, carving stone statues, or being made into nails to imprison criminals.
bú shì shén me jué mì ， hěn róng yì jiù chá dào le yǒu guān xìn xī 。
不是什么绝密，很容易就查到了有关信息。
There was also a technique called "Sealing Immortal Absolute Spirit" that accompanied the Absolute Immortal Stone nails.
【 jué xiān shí 】， jiù shì xiū shì men duì cǐ zhǒng shí cái de chēng hū 。
【绝仙石】，就是修士们对此种石材的称呼。
Inserting dozens of fixed acupoints with Absolute Immortal Stone nails could block internal spiritual energy circulation and seal one's cultivation.
gōng xiào hé lǐ fán shì yàn chū de yī yàng ， néng gòu gé jué yī qiè líng lì yǔ shén shí de zuò yòng 。
功效和李凡试验出的一样，能够隔绝一切灵力与神识的作用。
However, as time passed, the number of Absolute Immortal Stones decreased, making them hard to come by now.
zài shàng gǔ shí qī ， yì bān yòng lái jiàn zào mì shì 、 diāo kè shí xiàng ， huò zhě dǎ zào chéng shí dīng 、 qiú jìn fàn rén 。
在上古时期，一般用来建造密室、雕刻石像，或者打造成石钉、囚禁犯人。
Occasionally, some could be found in sect ruins, fetching a good price.
hé jué xiān shí dīng pèi tào de hái yǒu yī mén jiào zuò “ fēng xiān jué líng ” de zhēn cì fāng fǎ 。
和绝仙石钉配套的还有一门叫做“封仙绝灵”的针刺方法。
"There are still some Absolute Immortal Stones left in that small temple. They should suffice for a set of nails."
jiāng quán shēn shù shí gè gù dìng xué wèi yòng jué xiān shí dīng cì rù ， biàn kě zǔ duàn tǐ nèi líng qì yùn zhuàn ， fēng jìn yī shēn xiū wèi 。
将全身数十个固定穴位用绝仙石钉刺入，便可阻断体内灵气运转，封禁一身修为。
Li Fan spent his contribution points to buy the "Sealing Immortal Absolute Spirit" needle technique and noted it down.
bù guò suí zhe suì yuè biàn qiān ， jué xiān shí de cún shì shù liàng yě màn màn biàn shǎo ， rú jīn hěn nán zài jiàn dào le 。
不过随着岁月变迁，绝仙石的存世数量也慢慢变少，如今很难再见到了。
---
ǒu ěr zài zōng mén yí jì zhōng jiǎn huí lái yī xiē ， yě néng mài gè hǎo jià qián 。
偶尔在宗门遗迹中捡回来一些，也能卖个好价钱。
After anchoring 25 years and closing himself off again, news from Jiushan State attracted the attention of all cultivators once more.
“ nà xiǎo miào zhōng cán cún de jué xiān shí hái yǒu yī xiē ， dǎ zào chéng yī tào shí dīng miǎn qiǎng gòu yòng le 。”
“那小庙中残存的绝仙石还有一些，打造成一套石钉勉强够用了。”
The mysterious ancient ruins of the Dao Yuan Sect, which remained unexplored for so long, had recently shown strange changes.
dāng xià huā fèi gòng xiàn dù ， jiāng “ fēng xiān jué líng ” zhēn fǎ mǎi xià ， jì zài xīn zhōng 。
当下花费贡献度，将“封仙绝灵”针法买下，记在心中。
Initially, people could occasionally be seen moving around in the empty sect ruins.
……
……
When cultivators arrived to investigate, these figures suddenly vanished.
máo dìng 25 nián ， lǐ fán yòu bì guān hòu bù jiǔ ， yī zé xiāo xī zì jiǔ shān zhōu chuán chū ， zài cì xī yǐn le tiān xià xiū shì de mù guāng 。
锚定25年，李凡又闭关后不久，一则消息自九山州传出，再次吸引了天下修士的目光。
Over time, their appearance frequency increased, and they stayed longer each time.
nà zuò shǐ zhōng dōu méi néng tàn chá qīng chǔ yǒu shén me xuán ào de cháo yuán zōng yí jì ， zuì jìn chū xiàn le guǐ yì de biàn huà 。
那座始终都没能探查清楚有什么玄奥的朝元宗遗迹，最近出现了诡异的变化。
Eventually, even their conversations were audible.
zuì kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， kōng dàng dàng de zōng mén yí jì nèi ， shí bù shí yǒu rén yǐng chū xiàn ， lái huí zǒu dòng 。
最开始的时候，空荡荡的宗门遗迹内，时不时有人影出现，来回走动。
Apart from being touchless and lacking physical form, these figures seemed almost identical to real people, living in their own space without interference.
děng xiū shì fā xiàn gǎn dào de shí hòu ， rén yǐng què yòu hū de xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
等修士发现赶到的时候，人影却又忽的消失不见。
The reason for the uproar was that a cultivator happened upon footage of Dao Yuan Sect disciples reciting "Heavens Light Build Yang Decision."
màn màn de ， rén yǐng chū xiàn de pín lǜ yuè lái yuè pín fán ， měi cì zhù liú de shí jiān yě zài zhú jiàn zēng jiā 。
慢慢的，人影出现的频率越来越频繁，每次驻留的时间也在逐渐增加。
Overjoyed, he memorized the entire technique.
hòu lái ， lián tā men bǐ cǐ jiāo tán de shēng yīn dōu néng tīng jiàn le 。
后来，连他们彼此交谈的声音都能听见了。
Although it was just an entry-level cultivation method, this event held significant meaning.
chú le chù zhī wèi kōng 、 méi yǒu shí tǐ cún zài zhī wài ， zhè xiē rén yǐng jī hū hé zhēn rén wú yì 。
除了触之为空、没有实体存在之外，这些人影几乎和真人无异。
---
rén yǐng chá jué bú dào xiàn shí xiū shì de cún zài ， zhǐ shì fǎng fú shēng huó zài zì jǐ de shí kōng zhōng ， bù shòu gān rǎo de huó dòng zhe 。
人影察觉不到现实修士的存在，只是仿佛生活在自己的时空中，不受干扰的活动着。
It implied the possibility of acquiring higher-level techniques.
ér zhī suǒ yǐ yǐn qǐ hōng dòng de yuán yīn shì ， yī wèi xiū shì pèng qiǎo yù jiàn le yī duàn cháo yuán zōng dì zǐ sòng dú 《 tiān guāng zhù yáng jué 》 de yǐng xiàng 。
而之所以引起轰动的原因是，一位修士碰巧遇见了一段朝元宗弟子诵读《天光筑阳决》的影像。
Even without any techniques, observing ancient Dao Yuan cultivators' alchemy and weapon forging processes equated to having free tutors teaching them in person.
xiū shì dà xǐ zhī xià ， jiāng fǎ jué quán wén bèi xià 。
修士大喜之下，将法诀全文背下。
Thus, the once nearly abandoned Dao Yuan Sect ruins became bustling again.
suī shuō zhǐ shì yī mén liàn qì qī gōng fǎ ， dàn shì zhè jiàn shì de yì yì fēi fán 。
虽说只是一门炼气期功法，但是这件事的意义非凡。
Of course, it was only the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that benefited; the Five Elders Association remained uninvolved.
yīn wèi yì wèi zhe huò qǔ qí tā gāo jiē gōng fǎ de kě néng 。
因为意味着获取其他高阶功法的可能。
The几位负责镇守边疆的化神修士不知什么原因，并没有返回，依然驻扎在九山州内.
jiù suàn méi yǒu gōng fǎ ， guān mó shàng gǔ cháo yuán zōng xiū shì men liàn dān 、 liàn qì děng ， xiāng dāng yú yǒu miǎn fèi de lǎo shī ěr tí miàn mìng 、 xiàn chǎng jiào xué 。
就算没有功法，观摩上古朝元宗修士们炼丹、炼器等，相当于有免费的老师耳提面命、现场教学。
天玄锁灵阵常态化开启。
yú shì hū ， yuán běn jī hū kuài yào wú rén wèn jīn de cháo yuán zōng yí jì ， yòu biàn dé rè nào qǐ lái 。
于是乎，原本几乎快要无人问津的朝元宗遗迹，又变得热闹起来。
有心怀侥幸的五老会修士一旦进入，就会被当场格杀。
dāng rán ， rè nào shì shǔ yú wàn xiān méng de ， hé wǔ lǎo huì wú guān 。
当然，热闹是属于万仙盟的，和五老会无关。
原本有些纷乱的九山州，在如此态势下，也不由变得祥和起来。
nà jǐ wèi fù zé zhèn shǒu biān jiāng de huà shén xiū shì bù zhī shén me yuán yīn ， bìng méi yǒu fǎn huí ， yī rán zhù zhā zài jiǔ shān zhōu nèi 。
那几位负责镇守边疆的化神修士不知什么原因，并没有返回，依然驻扎在九山州内。
而在丛云海的荒岛，离界众人却是罕见地起了争执。
tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn cháng tài huà kāi qǐ 。
天玄锁灵阵常态化开启。
事情的起因，正是因为这出现新变化的朝元宗遗迹。
yǒu xīn huái jiǎo xìng de wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì yí dàn jìn rù ， jiù huì bèi dāng chǎng gé shā 。
有心怀侥幸的五老会修士一旦进入，就会被当场格杀。
小胖子叶飞鹏外出时，偶尔从旁边匆匆路过修士的交谈中，知晓了此事。
yuán běn yǒu xiē fēn luàn de jiǔ shān zhōu ， zài rú cǐ tài shì xià ， yě bù yóu biàn dé xiáng hé qǐ lái 。
原本有些纷乱的九山州，在如此态势下，也不由变得祥和起来。
回到荒岛上后，与众人交谈间，随口提及此轶事。
ér zài cóng yún hǎi de huāng dǎo ， lí jiè zhòng rén què shì hǎn jiàn de qǐ le zhēng zhí 。
而在丛云海的荒岛，离界众人却是罕见的起了争执。
谁知道，苏小妹和张浩波闻言，居然齐齐心生感应。
shì qíng de qǐ yīn ， zhèng shì yīn wèi zhè chū xiàn xīn biàn huà de cháo yuán zōng yí jì 。
事情的起因，正是因为这出现新变化的朝元宗遗迹。
自己结丹缘法机缘，正应在那朝元宗中！
xiǎo pàng zi yè fēi péng wài chū shí ， ǒu ěr cóng páng biān cōng cōng lù guò xiū shì de jiāo tán zhōng ， zhī xiǎo le cǐ shì 。
小胖子叶飞鹏外出时，偶尔从旁边匆匆路过修士的交谈中，知晓了此事。
二人已经困顿于筑基圆满境界有一段时间了。
huí dào huāng dǎo shàng hòu ， hé zhòng rén jiāo tán jiān ， suí kǒu tí jí le cǐ yì shì 。
回到荒岛上后，和众人交谈间，随口提及了此轶事。
无奈一是受【天之厄】瓶颈所困，无法晋升。
shuí zhī dào ， sū xiǎo mèi hé zhāng hào bō wén yán ， jū rán qí qí xīn shēng gǎn yìng 。
谁知道，苏小妹和张浩波闻言，居然齐齐心生感应。
二是对于用何种天地之法结丹，两人还没有做好决定。
zì jǐ jié dān yuán fǎ jī yuán ， zhèng yīng zài nà cháo yuán zōng zhōng ！
自己结丹缘法机缘，正应在那朝元宗中！
如今机缘近在眼前，二人顿时起了远赴九山州的想法。
èr rén yǐ jīng kùn dùn yú zhù jī yuán mǎn jìng jiè yǒu yī duàn shí jiān le 。
二人已经困顿于筑基圆满境界有一段时间了。
此去路途遥远，危机重重。
wú nài yī shì shòu 【 tiān zhī è 】 píng jǐng suǒ kùn ， wú fǎ jìn shēng 。
无奈一是受【天之厄】瓶颈所困，无法晋升。
作为【复仙】名义上接班人的萧恒，自然是表示了反对意见。
èr shì duì yú yòng hé zhǒng tiān dì zhī fǎ jié dān ， liǎng rén hái méi yǒu zuò hǎo jué dìng 。
二是对于用何种天地之法结丹，两人还没有做好决定。
萧恒认为，以他们二人的资质，结丹瓶颈只可困他们一时、不可能困他们一世。
rú jīn jī yuán jìn zài yǎn qián ， èr rén dùn shí qǐ le yuǎn fù jiǔ shān zhōu de xiǎng fǎ 。
如今机缘近在眼前，二人顿时起了远赴九山州的想法。
少了朝元宗机缘，自会有其他机缘补上。
cǐ qù lù tú yáo yuǎn ， wēi jī chóng chóng 。
此去路途遥远，危机重重。
不过筑基圆满的实力，强行出去闯荡，实在是太过危险了。
zuò wéi 【 fù xiān 】 míng yì shàng jiē bān rén de xiāo héng ， zì rán shì biǎo shì le fǎn duì yì jiàn 。
作为【复仙】名义上接班人的萧恒，自然是表示了反对意见。
哪怕二人天赋异禀，战力不俗。
xiāo héng rèn wéi ， yǐ tā men èr rén de zī zhì ， jié dān píng jǐng zhǐ kě kùn tā men yī shí 、 bù kě néng kùn tā men yī shì 。
萧恒认为，以他们二人的资质，结丹瓶颈只可困他们一时、不可能困他们一世。
但是大境界的差距毕竟在那里。
shǎo le cháo yuán zōng jī yuán ， zì huì yǒu qí tā jī yuán bǔ shàng 。
少了朝元宗机缘，自会有其他机缘补上。
不如安心继续蛰伏一段时间，等大家都突破到金丹境，自保之力大大提升后，再外出一齐寻找机缘。
bù guò zhù jī yuán mǎn de shí lì ， qiáng xíng chū qù chuǎng dàng ， shí zài shì tài guò wēi xiǎn le 。
不过筑基圆满的实力，强行出去闯荡，实在是太过危险了。
The several cultivators responsible for defending the border did not return, remaining stationed in Jiushan State.
nǎ pà èr rén tiān fù yì bǐng ， zhàn lì bù sú 。
哪怕二人天赋异禀，战力不俗。
The Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array was now activated regularly.
dàn shì dà jìng jiè de chā jù bì jìng zài nà lǐ 。
但是大境界的差距毕竟在那里。
Any Five Elders Association members with侥幸 thoughts who entered would be killed on the spot.
bù rú ān xīn jì xù zhé fú yī duàn shí jiān ， děng dà jiā dōu tū pò dào jīn dān jìng ， zì bǎo zhī lì dà dà tí shēng hòu ， zài wài chū yī qí xún zhǎo jī yuán 。
不如安心继续蛰伏一段时间，等大家都突破到金丹境，自保之力大大提升后，再外出一齐寻找机缘。
Jiushan State, which had been somewhat chaotic, became peaceful under this situation.
On the barren island of Congyunhai, however, the Separated World group found themselves in a rare dispute due to these new changes at the Dao Yuan Sect ruins.
The cause was precisely these newly emerging changes at the Dao Yuan Sect ruins.
Little Fat Ye Feipeng, on his outing, occasionally overheard some cultivators discussing this matter from passing by.
Upon returning to the island, he casually mentioned it during conversations with others.
Who knew that Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo both felt a sense of感应 when they heard about it.
Their cultivation fate lay in the Dao Yuan Sect!
For a long time, the two had been stuck at the full Golden Core realm.
The main obstacles were the [Heaven's Curse] bottleneck, preventing their advancement, and the uncertainty over which method to use for condensing their essence.
Now that fortune was within reach, they immediately thought of traveling to Jiushan State.
Despite their long journey and numerous dangers, Xiao Feng, as the nominal successor of the [Rebirth Immortal], naturally expressed opposition.
Xiao Feng believed that with their talents, the Golden Core bottleneck would only temporarily hold them back; other opportunities would eventually come along.
Without the Dao Yuan Sect's fortune, they could still find other opportunities.
However, the risks of leaving at this stage were too great for their current base level.
Even if they had exceptional talent and formidable combat skills,
the gap between realms was undeniable.
It would be safer to continue hiding for a while until everyone advanced to the Golden Core realm, significantly boosting their self-defense capabilities before venturing out together in search of fortune.
Only just managing to see the children enthusiastically簇拥着一个穿着青衫的瘦削身影，Li Fan was forced to leave the Realm of Fallen Spirit.
After a dizzying spin through the space, Li Fan returned to the real world.
"Mr. Bai..."
"Is this realm of lost memories yours?"
Although this expedition yielded no tangible results, Li Fan at least confirmed one thing: Mr. Bai had some strange intentions.
In the realm of lost memories, without his intervention, events should have remained fixed each time they occurred.
Based on previous experiences, Mr. Bai was expected to visit the children shortly after the great battle ended.
But this time...
"So coincidental, just as I was about to leave, he arrived?"
Li Fan did not believe it was merely a simple coincidence.
Mr. Bai seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, or perhaps there were some special reasons preventing Li Fan from seeing him.
Just like how Li Fan could not leave Ningyuan City, the specific rules of this entire realm of lost memories applied.
Without delving too deeply into why such events occurred, it was quite probable that Mr. Bai was indeed the master of this realm of lost memories.
So the question arose: What was Mr. Bai's obsession?
Considering the children's evaluation of him as "the best big good guy in the world," and his proactive rescue efforts and active treatment of injured individuals...
The image of Ningyuan City after the great battle, with its desolate appearance and scattered corpses, flashed through Li Fan's mind.
"Affected by cultivators' battles, my hometown almost turned into a dead zone."
"If this cruel scene had never happened..."
"Is that your obsession?"
Li Fan pondered deeply.
While other possibilities could not be ruled out, based on the current clues, this was the most likely scenario.
"It seems difficult to resolve the matter of the longevity fruit in Ningyuan City without any civilian casualties."
After deducing the result, Li Fan needed to find a way to verify it.
However, achieving this goal seemed more challenging than simply defeating his senior brother Zhang.

Firstly, he did not need to consider the formidable Senior Brother Zhang with supreme divine might.
Capturing Jin丹中期 Song and Song without affecting civilians was no easy task.
"Fortunately, I have the [Binding Insects] Divine Power as a fallback. Let's try various methods."
"If that fails, I'll resolve this issue after reaching my Golden Core realm."
Seeing hope of escaping Ningyuan City, Li Fan found it not much of an inconvenience to spend some extra time.
After mentally formulating his plan for the next trip to the Realm of Fallen Spirit, Li Fan recalled the strange stone from the small temple.
He searched through the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.
It wasn't a secret; he easily found relevant information.
[Absolute Immortal Stone] was what cultivators called this type of stone.
Its effects were similar to his experiments: it could isolate all spiritual energy and divine consciousness.
In ancient times, it was commonly used for constructing secret chambers, carving stone statues, or being made into nails to imprison criminals.
There was also a technique called "Sealing Immortal Absolute Spirit" that accompanied the Absolute Immortal Stone nails.
Inserting dozens of fixed acupoints with Absolute Immortal Stone nails could block internal spiritual energy circulation and seal one's cultivation.
However, as time passed, the number of Absolute Immortal Stones decreased, making them hard to come by now.
Occasionally, some could be found in sect ruins, fetching a good price.
"There are still some Absolute Immortal Stones left in that small temple. They should suffice for a set of nails."
Li Fan spent his contribution points to buy the "Sealing Immortal Absolute Spirit" needle technique and noted it down.

After anchoring 25 years and closing himself off again, news from Jiushan State attracted the attention of all cultivators once more.
The mysterious ancient ruins of the Dao Yuan Sect, which remained unexplored for so long, had recently shown strange changes.
Initially, people could occasionally be seen moving around in the empty sect ruins.
When cultivators arrived to investigate, these figures suddenly vanished.
Over time, their appearance frequency increased, and they stayed longer each time.
Eventually, even their conversations were audible.
Apart from being touchless and lacking physical form, these figures seemed almost identical to real people, living in their own space without interference.
The reason for the uproar was that a cultivator happened upon footage of Dao Yuan Sect disciples reciting "Heavens Light Build Yang Decision."
Overjoyed, he memorized the entire technique.
Although it was just an entry-level cultivation method, this event held significant meaning.
---
It implied the possibility of acquiring higher-level techniques.
Even without any techniques, observing ancient Dao Yuan cultivators' alchemy and weapon forging processes equated to having free tutors teaching them in person.
Thus, the once nearly abandoned Dao Yuan Sect ruins became bustling again.
Of course, it was only the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that benefited; the Five Elders Association remained uninvolved.
The几位负责镇守边疆的化神修士不知什么原因，并没有返回，依然驻扎在九山州内.
天玄锁灵阵常态化开启。
有心怀侥幸的五老会修士一旦进入，就会被当场格杀。
原本有些纷乱的九山州，在如此态势下，也不由变得祥和起来。
而在丛云海的荒岛，离界众人却是罕见地起了争执。
事情的起因，正是因为这出现新变化的朝元宗遗迹。
小胖子叶飞鹏外出时，偶尔从旁边匆匆路过修士的交谈中，知晓了此事。
回到荒岛上后，与众人交谈间，随口提及此轶事。
谁知道，苏小妹和张浩波闻言，居然齐齐心生感应。
自己结丹缘法机缘，正应在那朝元宗中！
二人已经困顿于筑基圆满境界有一段时间了。
无奈一是受【天之厄】瓶颈所困，无法晋升。
二是对于用何种天地之法结丹，两人还没有做好决定。
如今机缘近在眼前，二人顿时起了远赴九山州的想法。
此去路途遥远，危机重重。
作为【复仙】名义上接班人的萧恒，自然是表示了反对意见。
萧恒认为，以他们二人的资质，结丹瓶颈只可困他们一时、不可能困他们一世。
少了朝元宗机缘，自会有其他机缘补上。
不过筑基圆满的实力，强行出去闯荡，实在是太过危险了。
哪怕二人天赋异禀，战力不俗。
但是大境界的差距毕竟在那里。
不如安心继续蛰伏一段时间，等大家都突破到金丹境，自保之力大大提升后，再外出一齐寻找机缘。
The several cultivators responsible for defending the border did not return, remaining stationed in Jiushan State.
The Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array was now activated regularly.
Any Five Elders Association members with侥幸 thoughts who entered would be killed on the spot.
Jiushan State, which had been somewhat chaotic, became peaceful under this situation.
On the barren island of Congyunhai, however, the Separated World group found themselves in a rare dispute due to these new changes at the Dao Yuan Sect ruins.
The cause was precisely these newly emerging changes at the Dao Yuan Sect ruins.
Little Fat Ye Feipeng, on his outing, occasionally overheard some cultivators discussing this matter from passing by.
Upon returning to the island, he casually mentioned it during conversations with others.
Who knew that Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo both felt a sense of感应 when they heard about it.
Their cultivation fate lay in the Dao Yuan Sect!
For a long time, the two had been stuck at the full Golden Core realm.
The main obstacles were the [Heaven's Curse] bottleneck, preventing their advancement, and the uncertainty over which method to use for condensing their essence.
Now that fortune was within reach, they immediately thought of traveling to Jiushan State.
Despite their long journey and numerous dangers, Xiao Feng, as the nominal successor of the [Rebirth Immortal], naturally expressed opposition.
Xiao Feng believed that with their talents, the Golden Core bottleneck would only temporarily hold them back; other opportunities would eventually come along.
Without the Dao Yuan Sect's fortune, they could still find other opportunities.
However, the risks of leaving at this stage were too great for their current base level.
Even if they had exceptional talent and formidable combat skills,
the gap between realms was undeniable.
It would be safer to continue hiding for a while until everyone advanced to the Golden Core realm, significantly boosting their self-defense capabilities before venturing out together in search of fortune.
