jué duì de jì jìng hòu ， shì jiān ruì wǎn ruò jīn shǔ huá guò de zá yīn zài ěr biān bù duàn huí xiǎng 。
绝对的寂静后，是尖锐宛若金属划过的杂音在耳边不断回响。
In absolute silence, the sharp sound of a metal scraping passed through his ears, echoing continuously.
zuì zhōng màn màn píng xī ， huà chéng yī jù lǎn yáng yáng de huà yǔ 。
最终慢慢平息，化成一句懒洋洋的话语。
Finally, it gradually subsided into a lazy voice.
“ wán chéng chuán sòng zhèn de xiàng qián zǒu ， bié dǎng zhe lù ！”
“完成传送阵的向前走，别挡着路！”
"Finish your transmission and move forward. Don't block the path!"
lǐ fán shēn xī le kǒu qì ， qiáng yā xià tǐ nèi de bù shì 。
李凡深吸了口气，强压下体内的不适。
Li Fan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body.
dǎ liàng sì zhōu de tóng shí ， àn zhào fēn fù qián xíng 。
打量四周的同时，按照吩咐前行。
He sized up his surroundings while following the instructions to proceed.
zhè lǐ gēn wàn xiān dǎo de chāo jù chuán sòng kōng jiān kàn shàng qù chà bù tài duō ， zhǐ shì bèi jǐng xīng hǎi de guāng yào chéng dù yào qiáng le shù bèi bù zhǐ 。
这里跟万仙岛的超距传送空间看上去差不太多，只是背景星海的光耀程度要强了数倍不止。
This place looked similar to the long-distance teleportation space on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, but the brilliance of the background star sea was several times stronger. And it was incredibly lively; during Li Fan's adjustment period, another two or three cultivators had arrived by transmission.
bìng qiě rè nào zhì jí ， jiù zài lǐ fán tiáo zhěng shì yìng shēn tǐ de zhè duàn shí jiān ， yòu yǒu liǎng sān míng xiū shì chuán sòng ér lái 。
并且热闹至极，就在李凡调整适应身体的这段时间，又有两三名修士传送而来。
Li Fan approached the cultivator who spoke.
lǐ fán zǒu dào fā huà de nà míng xiū shì gēn qián 。
李凡走到发话的那名修士跟前。
This person wore a black and yellow robe from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and casually handed over a pill: "Purification Body Dust-Parting Pill. After swallowing it, you can alleviate any discomfort. Move forward to undergo inspection! Next!"
zhè rén shēn chuān wàn xiān méng de zhì shì hēi huáng dào páo ， suí shǒu dì le yī méi dān yào guò lái ：“ jìng tǐ fú chén dān ， tūn fú hòu kě huǎn jiě bù shì 。 wǎng qián zǒu ， jiē shòu jiǎn chá ！ xià yī wèi ！”
这人身穿万仙盟的制式黑黄道袍，随手递了一枚丹药过来：“净体拂尘丹，吞服后可缓解不适。往前走，接受检查！下一位！”
Li Fan took the pill and observed it for a moment before putting it away in his storage ring.
lǐ fán jiē guò dān yào ， guān chá le piàn kè ， méi yǒu fú xià ， zhǐ shì shōu yú chǔ wù jiè zhōng 。
李凡接过丹药，观察了片刻，没有服下，只是收于储物戒中。
Further ahead was a mirror with a faint glow hanging high above.
zài wǎng qián ， què shì yí miàn fàn zhe yōu guāng de jìng zi ， xuán yú gāo kōng 。
再往前，却是一面泛着幽光的镜子，悬于高空。
It looked identical to the Heavenly Virtue Mirror.
kàn qǐ wài biǎo ， hé tiān xuán jìng yī mú yī yàng 。
看起外表，和天玄镜一模一样。
Li Fan walked under the mirror and stood still slightly.
lǐ fán zǒu dào jìng zi xià fāng ， wēi wēi zhàn dìng 。
李凡走到镜子下方，微微站定。
The light swept over him, and after a moment, the familiar yet strange voice of the Heavenly Virtue Mirror echoed in Li Fan's ears.
guāng huá zài zhōu shēn sǎo guò ， piàn kè zhī hòu ， tiān xuán jìng nà shú xī ér yòu guài yì de shēng yīn zài lǐ fán ěr biān xiǎng qǐ 。
光华在周身扫过，片刻之后，天玄镜那熟悉而又怪异的声音在李凡耳边响起。
"Welcome cultivator Li Fan to Tianyu Prefecture."
“ xiū shì lǐ fán ， huān yíng lái dào tiān yǔ zhōu 。”
“修士李凡，欢迎来到天禹州。”
Before he could react, the scenery changed.
yǎn qián yī huā ， jǐng sè biàn huàn 。
眼前一花，景色变换。
When Li Fan regained his senses, he was no longer inside the Venerable Figure statue but on the transmission square of Tianyu City.
děng lǐ fán huí guò shén lái shí ， yǐ jīng lí kāi le tiān zūn xiàng nèi bù ， lái dào le chuán fǎ guǎng chǎng shàng 。
等李凡回过神来时，已经离开了天尊像内部，来到了传法广场上。
The number of transmission arrays in Tianyu City far exceeded that of Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Not only did they connect to various cities within Tianyu Prefecture, but they could also reach cities under the jurisdictions of Heavenly辰, Heavenly枢, and Heavenly权 Prefectures.
tiān yǔ zhōu guǎng chǎng shàng de chuán sòng zhèn shù liàng ， bǐ qǐ wàn xiān dǎo tóng yàng yào gāo chū shù bèi 。
天禹州广场上的传送阵数量，比起万仙岛同样要高出数倍。
These four prefectures, which guarded the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, seemed to form a cohesive whole.
bù jǐn hé tiān yǔ zhōu nèi de gè gè chéng chí xiāng hù lián jiē ， shèn zhì néng gòu zhí dá tiān chén 、 tiān shū 、 tiān quán sān zhōu xià xiá chéng shì 。
不仅和天禹州内的各个城池相互连接，甚至能够直达天辰、天枢、天权三州下辖城市。
What made them different was that there were no ordinary people living in these prefectures. Each city housed only cultivators, making their overall number of cultivators far greater than other regions.
zhè gǒng wèi wàn xiān méng zǒng bù de sì dà zhōu yù ， yǐn yǐn lián chéng yī tǐ 。
这拱卫万仙盟总部的四大州域，隐隐连成一体。
With his divine sense scanning through the jade slip given by Zhang Zhiliang, Li Fan knew where he was headed: the Heavenly Yu Courtyard within Tianyu City.
gèng yǔ qí tā zhōu bù tóng de shì ， zhè sì dà zhōu shì méi yǒu fán rén cún zài de 。
更与其他州不同的是，这四大州是没有凡人存在的。
Unlike on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, all organizations of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were concentrated in one place here. Each department had its own separate premises. Some, like the Martial Arts Hall, even had more than one location.
měi yī zuò chéng chí zhōng ， jū zhù de dōu shì xiū shì 。
每一座城池中，居住的都是修士。
The Heavenly Yu Courtyard was a large courtyard belonging to the Strategy Array Hall. Following the information on the jade slip, Li Fan navigated through Tianyu City.
yīn cǐ ， zhè sì zhōu de zǒng tǐ xiū shì shù liàng ， yě yào yuǎn chāo qí tā dì yù 。
因此，这四州的总体修士数量，也要远超其他地域。
After not long, he arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Yu Courtyard.
shén shí sǎo guò zhāng zhì liáng gěi de yù jiǎn ， lǐ fán biàn zhī dào le cǐ xíng de mù dì dì 。
神识扫过张志良给的玉简，李凡便知道了此行的目的地。
The door was open and unguarded.
tiān yǔ chéng nèi huán yǔ bié yuàn 。
天禹城内寰宇别院。
Li Fan stepped in with one foot.
hé wàn xiān dǎo shàng ， suǒ yǒu wàn xiān méng zǔ zhī quán dōu jǐ zài yī chù bù tóng 。
和万仙岛上，所有万仙盟组织全都挤在一处不同。
In an instant, the air grew hot.
zhè tiān yǔ chéng nèi ， gè gè bù mén dōu yǒu zhe zì jǐ dān dú zhù dì 。
这天禹城内，各个部门都有着自己单独驻地。
Before his eyes were endless deserts stretching endlessly. The sand beneath his feet seemed to flow like water, quietly shifting.
yǒu xiē bǐ jiào qiáng shì de ， bǐ rú yǎn wǔ táng ， shèn zhì yǒu zhe bù zhǐ yī chù chǎng suǒ 。
有些比较强势的，比如演武堂，甚至有着不止一处场所。
"Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array..."
zhè huán yǔ bié yuàn ， jiù shì shǔ yú cè zhèn táng de yī chù dà xíng tíng yuàn 。
这寰宇别院，就是属于策阵堂的一处大型庭院。
Li Fan remained calm; he knew this was the first test upon entering the Heavenly Yu Courtyard.
lǐ fán gēn jù yù jiǎn zhōng de zhǐ yǐn xìn xī ， zài tiān yǔ chéng zhōng chuān suō qián xíng 。
李凡根据玉简中的指引信息，在天禹城中穿梭前行。
He narrowed his eyes and surveyed the surroundings.
mò guò duō jiǔ ， jiù lái dào le huán yǔ bié yuàn mén kǒu 。
没过多久，就来到了寰宇别院门口。
In Li Fan's eyes, the endless yellow sands transformed into array formations. The blue light from the Dao Stone in his识海 flickered as he rapidly calculated the weaknesses of the [Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array].
dà mén chǎng kāi ， wú rén kān shǒu 。
大门敞开，无人看守。
While breaking through the array, he didn't stand still but carefully moved to a new spot every so often.
lǐ fán yī jiǎo tà chū ， zǒu le jìn qù 。
李凡一脚踏出，走了进去。
Soon after he left, sand vortexes appeared at his previous location, swallowing everything.
xià yī miǎo ， kōng qì měng dì zhì rè qǐ lái 。
下一秒，空气猛地炙热起来。
After about an hour, Li Fan finally found a way out of the Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array.
rù yǎn suǒ jí jìn shì lián mián bù zhǐ 、 kàn bú dào jìn tóu de shā mò 。
入眼所及尽是连绵不止、看不到尽头的沙漠。
He flew and landed, finally escaping from the array.
jiǎo xià de shā zi yě sì hū rú liú shuǐ bān ， zhèng zài qiāo qiāo liú dòng 。
脚下的沙子也似乎如流水般，正在悄悄流动。
However, he did not enter the interior of the Heavenly Yu Courtyard. Another new array awaited him: [Black Stone Flowing Fire Array].
“ wàn lǐ liú shā zhèn ……”
“万里流沙阵……”
This was more perilous than the previous Ten Thousand Miles Flowing Sand Array.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng méi yǒu huāng luàn ， zhī dào zhè shì jìn rù huán yǔ bié yuàn de dì yī dào kǎo yàn 。
李凡心中没有慌乱，知道这是进入寰宇别院的第一道考验。
Li Fan wasn't sure if he would perish or be rescued if he fell into this array. He focused his energy and carefully faced it.
yǎn jīng wēi mī ， tiào wàng sì zhōu 。
眼睛微眯，眺望四周。
After a few hours, he broke through the array.
zài lǐ fán yǎn zhōng ， zhōu wéi huáng shā màn tiān de jǐng sè shà shí jiān biàn chéng le yī dào dào zhèn fǎ zhì shì 。
在李凡眼中，周围黄沙漫天的景色霎时间变成了一道道阵法制式。
Following were [Eight Doors Closing Breath Array], [Rainy Smoke Landing Immortal Array], [Virtuous Spirit Soul Capturing Array]...
shí hǎi zhōng huà dào shí lán guāng wēi wēi zhàn fàng ， lǐ fán zài fēi sù jì suàn zhe zhè 【 wàn lǐ liú shā zhèn 】 de pò zhàn suǒ zài 。
识海中化道石蓝光微微绽放，李凡在飞速计算着这【万里流沙阵】的破绽所在。
These arrays had been mentioned in Zhang Zhiliang's fragmentary jade slip. Although Li Fan had learned about them theoretically, he realized how much of a gap there was between theory and practice when truly facing an array.
pò zhèn de tóng shí ， bìng méi yǒu dāi lì bù dòng 。 ér shì měi guò yī duàn shí jiān ， jiù xiǎo xīn yì yì dì fēi shēn huàn yī chù luò jiǎo diǎn 。
破阵的同时，并没有呆立不动。而是每过一段时间，就小心翼翼地飞身换一处落脚点。
Fortunately, these arrays seemed not fully activated; they were merely tests. Despite the chaos, Li Fan managed to break through each one.
měi dāng tā lí kāi hòu bù jiǔ ， yuán lái suǒ zài de wèi zhì jiù yǒu liú shā xuán wō chū xiàn ， tūn mò yī qiè 。
每当他离开后不久，原来所在的位置就有流沙漩涡出现，吞没一切。
After breaking through the final [All Directions Subtle Array], Li Fan finally arrived in a safe space.
rú cǐ guò le yī zhù xiāng de shí jiān ， lǐ fán zhōng yú zhǎo dào le tuō zhèn zhī fǎ 。
如此过了一炷香的时间，李凡终于找到了脱阵之法。
This place resembled where Zhang Zhiliang had taught his classes. A young cultivator wearing white was waiting there.
fēi fēi tíng tíng ， zhōng yú cóng wàn lǐ liú shā zhèn zhōng tuō kùn ér chū 。
飞飞停停，终于从万里流沙阵中脱困而出。
"Li Fan from Cloudy Sea."
yī rán méi yǒu jìn rù dào huán yǔ bié yuàn nèi bù ， yíng jiē lǐ fán de ， shì lìng yí gè quán xīn de zhèn fǎ 。
依然没有进入到寰宇别院内部，迎接李凡的，是另一个全新的阵法。
"The total time taken to break all arrays is one day and six hours."
【 hēi shí liú huǒ zhèn 】。
【黑石流火阵】。
"The grade is average."
bǐ qǐ zhī qián de wàn lǐ liú shā zhèn ， yào xiōng xiǎn jǐ fēn 。
比起之前的万里流沙阵，要凶险几分。
"You did not take any breaks during the array breaking process, and you showed no signs of fatigue after it ended."
lǐ fán bù què dìng yào shì xiàn luò zài zhè zhèn fǎ zhōng ， shì zhí jiē shēn yǔn hái shì yǒu rén lái jiù 。
李凡不确定要是陷落在这阵法中，是直接身陨还是有人来救。
"Your mental resilience is commendable; your evaluation is excellent."
dāng xià dǎ qǐ shí èr wàn fēn de jīng shén ， xiǎo xīn yìng duì 。
当下打起十二万分的精神，小心应对。
"Hmm..."
xiǎo bàn tiān zhī hòu ， pò zhèn ér chū 。
小半天之后，破阵而出。
"Overall evaluation: above average!"
zhè zhī hòu ， yī cì shì 【 bā mén bì qì zhèn 】、【 yān yǔ luò xiān zhèn 】、【 xū shén shè hún zhèn 】……
这之后，依次是【八门闭气阵】、【烟雨落仙阵】、【虚神摄魂阵】……
The white-clothed cultivator muttered as a silver jade token appeared before Li Fan.
zhè xiē dōu shì zhāng zhì liáng fēn shén yù jiǎn zhōng céng jīng tí jí jiè shào guò de zhèn fǎ 。
这些都是张志良分神玉简中曾经提及介绍过的阵法。
"This token serves as your identity proof during this period in the Heavenly Yu Courtyard. Keep it well, and do not lose it."
suī rán céng jīng xì tǒng de xué xí guò ， dàn lǐ fán zhēn de shēn xiàn zhèn zhōng shí ， cái míng bái lǐ lùn hé shí jì zhī jiān de chā jù yǒu duō dà 。
虽然曾经系统的学习过，但李凡真的深陷阵中时，才明白理论和实际之间的差距有多大。
"All notifications and distribution of supplies will be handled through this token."
hǎo zài zhè xiē zhèn fǎ sì hū yě méi yǒu wán quán jī huó ， zhǐ shì chún zuò kǎo yàn zhī yòng 。
好在这些阵法似乎也没有完全激活，只是纯做考验之用。
"You may go rest now. You will be notified once all trainees are present!"
suī rán yǒu xiē láng bèi ， dàn shì lǐ fán yě dōu yī yī jiāng qí pò jiě 。
虽然有些狼狈，但是李凡也都一一将其破解。
The white-clothed cultivator instructed.
dāng zuì hòu yí gè 【 shí fāng xī yí zhèn 】 bèi tū pò zhī hòu ， lǐ fán zǒng suàn lái dào yī chù ān quán de kōng jiān 。
当最后一个【十方希夷阵】被突破之后，李凡总算来到一处安全的空间。
Li Fan put away the silver token and bowed in gratitude before asking, "May I ask your name?"
zhè lǐ hé dāng chū zhāng zhì liáng shòu kè zhī suǒ shí fēn xiāng sì ， yǒu yī wèi shēn chuān bái yī de nián qīng xiū shì zài cǐ děng hòu 。
这里和当初张志良授课之所十分相似，有一位身穿白衣的年轻修士在此等候。
The white-clothed cultivator smiled: "This is Ji Hong Dao of Tianyu Prefecture. Go now!"
“ lǐ fán ， lái zì cóng yún hǎi 。”
“李凡，来自丛云海。”
He waved his hand, and a burst of light from the silver token enveloped Li Fan.
“ zǒng jì pò zhèn shí jiān yī tiān líng liù gè shí chén 。”
“总计破阵时间一天零六个时辰。”
When the silver light vanished, Li Fan found himself in a small courtyard.
“ chéng jì zhōng děng piān xià 。”
“成绩中等偏下。”
Though not large, it was decorated with great care. The central area, originally a lake and rock formation, could be transformed into mountain ranges, cloud seas, desolate deserts, or vast oceans through the token's control.
“ pò zhèn guò chéng zhōng méi yǒu piàn kè xiū xī ， quán bù jié shù zhī hòu yě wèi jiàn pí juàn zhī sè 。”
“破阵过程中没有片刻休息，全部结束之后也未见疲倦之色。”
Li Fan discovered that this wasn't just an illusion; he could actually fly into these scenes and experience them firsthand, as if they were real spaces embedded within. He couldn't help but marvel at the luxury of the Heavenly Yu Courtyard.
“ xīn shén jiān rèn ， kě píng shàng shàng 。”
“心神坚韧，可评上上。”
The scenery was beautiful, and the concentration of qi in the courtyard was astonishingly high. Following the flow of qi, Li Fan found a small Heavenly Virtue Mirror in one room. It differed little from those commonly seen in various cities, providing basic functions like queries and transactions, even enabling auxiliary cultivation modes.
“ ń ……”
“嗯……”
What amazed and excited Li Fan most was that using the auxiliary cultivation function here was completely free.
“ zǒng píng ， shàng děng piān xià ！”
“总评，上等偏下！”
Although he didn't lack contribution points now, who could resist the joy of freebies?
bái yī xiū shì zuǐ lǐ niàn dāo zhe ， suí zhe tā de huà yǔ ， lǐ fán miàn qián píng kōng chū xiàn le yí gè yín sè yù pái 。
白衣修士嘴里念叨着，随着他的话语，李凡面前凭空出现了一个银色玉牌。
Without hesitation, Li Fan entered a state of enlightenment.
“ cǐ lìng pái nǎi shì zhè duàn shí jiān nǐ zài huán yǔ bié yuàn zhōng de shēn fèn zhèng míng ， hǎo hǎo shōu zhe ， qiè mò yí shī 。”
“此令牌乃是这段时间你在寰宇别院中的身份证明，好好收着，切莫遗失。”
"Unfortunately, this is just a special perk during training. Otherwise, I could stay here forever."
“ tōng zhī de chuán dá yǐ jí xiāng guān wù zī de fā fàng ， jiē shì tōng guò zhè kuài lìng pái 。”
“通知的传达以及相关物资的发放，皆是通过这块令牌。”
"The wealth and resources in the heart of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are truly generous. Cloudy Sea can't compare."
“ nǐ kě xiān qù xiū xī 。 děng quán bù péi xùn rén yuán dào qí hòu ， zì huì tōng zhī nǐ ！”
“你可先去休息。等全部培训人员到齐后，自会通知你！”
"No wonder countless cultivators fight for a spot here."
bái yī xiū shì zhǔ fù dào 。
白衣修士嘱咐道。
"Just a little bit of personal gain, and you might save so much resource."
lǐ fán jiāng yín sè lìng pái shōu qǐ ， cháo zhe bái yī xiū shì gǒng shǒu dào xiè 。
李凡将银色令牌收起，朝着白衣修士拱手道谢。
Li Fan couldn't help but感慨.
yòu wèn dào ：“ bù zhī qián bèi zěn me chēng hū ？”
又问道：“不知前辈怎么称呼？”
(End of Chapter)
In absolute silence, the sharp sound of a metal scraping passed through his ears, echoing continuously.
Finally, it gradually subsided into a lazy voice.
"Finish your transmission and move forward. Don't block the path!"
Li Fan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body.
He sized up his surroundings while following the instructions to proceed.

"Welcome cultivator Li Fan to Tianyu Prefecture."
Before he could react, the scenery changed.
When Li Fan regained his senses, he was no longer inside the Venerable Figure statue but on the transmission square of Tianyu City.
The number of transmission arrays in Tianyu City far exceeded that of Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Not only did they connect to various cities within Tianyu Prefecture, but they could also reach cities under the jurisdictions of Heavenly辰, Heavenly枢, and Heavenly权 Prefectures.
