huí dào zì shēn bié yuàn zhōng , zài dù chōu qǔ yī lǚ shén hún kāi shǐ biàn bié . zhè cì , lǐ fán mǐn ruì de chá jué dào le hé zhī qián de bù tóng .
回到自身别院中,再度抽取一缕神魂开始辨别.这次,李凡敏锐的察觉到了和之前的不同.
Back in his own secondary residence, Li Fan began to draw out a fragment of his soul for identification once more. This time, he keenly sensed the difference compared to before.
bái máng máng de kōng jiān zhōng , yuán běn lǐ fán wú fǎ yǒu xiào biàn shí chū hún qì de cún zài , quán kào xīn zhōng míng míng de gǎn yìng cāi cè .
白茫茫的空间中,原本李凡无法有效辨识出魂契的存在,全靠心中冥冥的感应猜测.
In the white expanse, Li Fan had previously been unable to effectively identify the existence of soul contracts; it relied entirely on his subconscious sense and guesswork. However, after countless souls washed through the Vengeful Soul Sea, it seemed that his own soul underwent some mysterious changes.
dàn shì , jīng guò [ yuàn hún hǎi ] wú shù shén hún de chōng xǐ , sì hū shǐ de lǐ fán zì shēn de shén hún , chǎn shēng le mǒu zhǒng qí miào de biàn huà .
但是,经过[怨魂海]无数神魂的冲洗,似乎使得李凡自身的神魂,产生了某种奇妙的变化.
After a series of tests, Li Fan was pleasantly surprised to find that his success rate in identifying soul contracts had soared from 0.2% to 3%.
yī fān cè shì zhī hòu , lǐ fán jīng xǐ de fā xiàn , zì jǐ de biàn shí chéng gōng lǜ , yóu qiān fēn zhī èr , yī yuè shàng shēng dào le bǎi fēn zhī sān .
一番测试之后,李凡惊喜的发现,自己的辨识成功率,由千分之二,一跃上升到了百分之三.
"Still, this simple and straightforward method suits me well. With just a few more attempts, recognizing soul contracts won't be an issue anymore," Li Fan thought with some excitement.
" hái shì zhè zhǒng jiǎn dān cū bào de fāng shì shì hé wǒ , zhǐ yào zài lái jǐ cì , hún qì de biàn shí jiù bù chéng wèn tí le ." lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù jīn yǒu xiē jīng xǐ .
"还是这种简单粗暴的方式适合我,只要再来几次,魂契的辨识就不成问题了."李凡心中不禁有些惊喜.
With the aid of the Soul Refining Stone and Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell, the Vengeful Soul Sea posed little risk to Li Fan. Instead, it was a significant opportunity.
yǒu zhe huà shén shí yǐ jí xuán huáng liàn xīn zhòu xiāng zhù ,[ yuàn hún hǎi ] duì yú lǐ fán lái shuō , fēng xiǎn jǐ děng yú wú .
有着化神石以及玄黄炼心咒相助,[怨魂海]对于李凡来说,风险几等于无.
Similar to his initial feelings after using the Intention Horse, Li Fan vaguely felt that his soul had grown stronger. This made him look forward to the upcoming Vengeful Soul Sea surfing sessions.
fǎn ér shì jí dà de jī yuán .
反而是极大的机缘.
Under continuous learning and training, as well as the cleansing of souls from the Vengeful Soul Sea, Li Fan's success rate in sensing soul contracts steadily increased. It rose from 5% to 10%, then to 50%.
gēn dāng chū shǐ yòng [ yì mǎ ] zhī hòu de gǎn jué yǒu xiē lèi sì , lǐ fán yǐn yǐn jué de zì jǐ de shén hún biàn dé qiáng zhuàng le jǐ fēn .
跟当初使用[意马]之后的感觉有些类似,李凡隐隐觉得自己的神魂变得强壮了几分.
When only eight members remained in the lucky group, this additional training finally concluded. At that point, Li Fan's accuracy had stabilized at 80%.
zhè ràng lǐ fán shèn zhì yǒu xiē qī dài míng tiān de [ yuàn hún hǎi ] chōng làng zǎo diǎn dào lái le .
这让李凡甚至有些期待明天的[怨魂海]冲浪早点到来了.
Ji Hongdiao assessed him as being average among his peers; he was barely acceptable but with a promising future.
jiù zhè yàng , zài bù duàn de xué xí xùn liàn , yǐ jí [ yuàn hún hǎi ] shén hún de chōng shuā xià . lǐ fán duì yú hún qì de gǎn yìng chéng gōng lǜ , wěn bù shàng shēng . yī lù cóng bǎi fēn zhī wǔ , zhǎng dào bǎi fēn zhī shí , zài dào bǎi fēn zhī wǔ shí ……
就这样,在不断的学习训练,以及[怨魂海]神魂的冲刷下.李凡对于魂契的感应成功率,稳步上升.一路从百分之五,涨到百分之十,再到百分之五十……
Unfortunately, the time limit for using the Vengeful Soul Sea from Cai Zhenzhang's strategy hall had expired. Li Fan no longer had the opportunity to receive special training and would have to rely on his own efforts to improve.
dāng xìng yùn ér xiǎo zǔ sǐ de zhǐ shèng xià bā míng hòu , zhè é wài de tè xùn zhōng yú jié shù le . ér cǐ shí lǐ fán de shuǐ píng , yě dìng gé zài le bǎi fēn zhī bā shí de zhǔn què lǜ .
当幸运儿小组死的只剩下八名后,这额外的特训终于结束了.而此时李凡的水平,也定格在了百分之八十的准确率.
However, after so many days of being cleansed by the Vengeful Soul Sea and interacting with countless souls bearing soul contracts, Li Fan now vaguely grasped the method for identifying them.
jì hóng dào de píng jià shì , chǔ yú zhòng rén zhōng wèi , miǎn qiǎng kě yǐ jiē shòu , wèi lái kě qī .
纪宏道的评价是,处于众人中位,勉强可以接受,未来可期.
As long as there was a familiar sensation in his soul when it came into contact with the soul waves, 80% of the time it would bear the mark of a soul contract. Then he could conduct the final verification, significantly increasing the accuracy rate.
nài hé cè zhèn táng shēn qǐng de [ yuàn hún hǎi ] shǐ yòng qī xiàn yǐ dào , lǐ fán méi yǒu le kāi xiǎo zào tí shēng de jī huì , yǐ hòu zhǐ néng kào zhe zì shēn xùn liàn cái néng tí gāo le .
奈何策阵堂申请的[怨魂海]使用期限已到,李凡没有了开小灶提升的机会,以后只能靠着自身训练才能提高了.
With this shortcoming eliminated, Li Fan's ranking among these array technique geniuses steadily improved.
bù guò jīng guò zhè me duō tiān [ yuàn hún hǎi ] de chōng shuā hòu , hé wú shù yǒu zhe hún qì cún zài de \ wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì de shén hún qīn mì jiē chù , lǐ fán xiàn zài yǐ jīng yǐn yǐn zhǎng wò le biàn shí hún qì de fāng fǎ .
不过经过这么多天[怨魂海]的冲刷后,和无数有着魂契存在的\五老会修士的神魂亲密接触,李凡现在已经隐隐掌握了辨识魂契的方法.
As Li Fan continued his studies in the Universal Secondary Residence, time had arrived at the 27th year of the anchor point. In the vicinity of Cunyun Sea and a荒岛, Xiao Heng stood facing the wind, his demeanor vastly different from before.
zhǐ yào shén hún zhōng yǒng qǐ hé hún làng jiē chù shí de shú xī gǎn , nà me qí nèi bā chéng jiù yǒu zhe hún qì yìn jì de cún zài .
只要神魂中涌起和魂浪接触时的熟悉感,那么其内八成就有着魂契印记的存在.
One hundred and eight azure water swords spun around him, forming various intricate array formations. He gazed down at the sea with a serious expression as an odd sound echoed from deep beneath the surface. The shadow below rapidly expanded, enveloping Xiao Heng almost instantly.
ér hòu zài jìn xíng zuì hòu zhēn bié , zhèng què lǜ dà dà tí gāo .
而后在进行最后甄别,正确率大大提高.
A massive shadow of a mythical creature appeared, opening its giant mouth to swallow Xiao Heng whole. A flash of blue light momentarily flickered in Xiao Heng's eyes as his figure turned ethereal and vanished, evading the beast's attack.
duǎn bǎn xiāo shī , lǐ fán zài zhè zhū duō zhèn dào jùn jié zhōng de pái míng , yě zài wěn bù tí shēng .
短板消失,李凡在这诸多阵道俊杰中的排名,也在稳步提升.
High above, Xiao Heng watched the failed attack on the beast with a smile. He blew gently, attracting clouds that gathered around him. Cloudy figures resembling him quickly formed, each composed entirely of clouds. In moments, they had taken shape into an army, wielding swords and charging at the beast below.
jiù zài lǐ fán jì xù zài zhè huán yǔ bié yuàn shēn zào de shí hòu , shí jiān lái dào le máo dìng 27 nián . cóng yún hǎi . huāng dǎo fù jìn hǎi yù .
就在李凡继续在这寰宇别院深造的时候,时间来到了锚定27年.丛云海.荒岛附近海域.
Instantly, sword lights flashed across the sky as thousands of explosions erupted on the creature's body. "Weak! Too weak!" "Xiao Heng, are you tickling me?"
xiāo héng yíng fēng ér lì , qì dù yǐ rán hé zhī qián dà bù xiāng tóng .
萧恒迎风而立,气度已然和之前大不相同.
Yefeipeng, whose voice emerged from the beast, spoke in human language. He effortlessly deflected Xiao Heng's attacks, his massive form trembling slightly. Waves surged, creating a hundred-foot-high tidal wave as the creature rose into the air and transformed into a bird, soaring skyward.
yì bǎi líng bā bǐng zhàn lán shuǐ jiàn zài tā shēn cè bù tíng xuán zhuǎn \ biàn huàn , zǔ chéng yí gè gè xuán qí zhèn fǎ .
一百零八柄湛蓝水剑在他身侧不停旋转\变换,组成一个个玄奇阵法.
Faced with this army of thousands of cloud warriors, it paid no heed. It charged forward, unstoppable in its momentum, reducing all cloud figures to dust before reaching Xiao Heng's side.
tā kàn zhe xià fāng hǎi shuǐ , shén sè níng zhòng . yī shēng qí yì de míng jiào , zì hǎi dǐ shēn chù chuán lái . hǎi miàn xià de yī mō yīn yǐng , xùn sù kuò dà .
他看着下方海水,神色凝重.一声奇异的鸣叫,自海底深处传来.海面下的一摸阴影,迅速扩大.
Xiao Heng remained unperturbed, his figure turning ethereal once more. Moments later, he reappeared at another location in the sky.
zhuǎn shùn jiù jiāng xiāo héng lǒng zhào zài nèi .
转瞬就将萧恒笼罩在内.
"Fatty, you have only brute strength; what use is that?"
jù dà yì shòu de xū yǐng shà shí fú xiàn , zhāng kāi jù kǒu , jiù yào bǎ xiāo héng tūn shì . xiāo héng yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī lán guāng . chà nà jiān , tā de shēn xíng biàn dé yī zhèn xū huàn .
巨大异兽的虚影霎时浮现,张开巨口,就要把萧恒吞噬.萧恒眼中闪过一丝蓝光.刹那间,他的身形变得一阵虚幻.
"Your attacks are like throwing axes into the sky. The sky is so vast and distant. No matter how high you throw an axe, it can never reach its surface!"
xiāo shī zài yuán dì , duǒ guò le yì shòu de xí jī .
消失在原地,躲过了异兽的袭击.
"This is one of my Four Golden Core Techniques: the Void Technique! What do you think?" Xiao Heng's tone exuded pride.
gāo tiān zhī shàng , xiāo héng kàn zhe yī jī luò kōng de yì shòu , liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī sī wēi xiào . qīng qīng yī chuī , zhōu biān yún duǒ bèi xī yǐn zhe , cháo tā huì jù ér lái .
高天之上,萧恒看着一击落空的异兽,脸上浮现出一丝微笑.轻轻一吹,周边云朵被吸引着,朝他汇聚而来.
Previously, when he was on the brink of condensing his golden core, a subconscious intuition guided him to the center of Cunyun Sea.
yí gè gè hé xiāo héng yǒu zhe bā fēn xiāng sì de \ wán quán yóu yún duǒ gòu chéng de rén yǐng , fēi sù chéng xíng . shí \ bǎi \ qiān …… zhuǎn shùn jiān , yī zhī yún rén dà jūn jiù yǐ jīng chéng xíng . tā men shǒu chí lì jiàn , fēi shēn cháo zhe xià fāng de yì shòu zhǎn kāi gōng jī .
一个个和萧恒有着八分相似的\完全由云朵构成的人影,飞速成型.十\百\千……转瞬间,一只云人大军就已经成型.它们手持利剑,飞身朝着下方的异兽展开攻击.
When he saw the transparent, dreamlike building standing in the sky, Xiao Heng was deeply moved.
qǐng kè jiān , jiàn guāng zòng héng , qiān wàn dào bào zhà zài yì shòu shēn shàng zhàn fàng ." ruò ! tài ruò !"" xiāo héng , nǐ zài gěi wǒ náo yǎng yǎng ne ?" zhè yì shòu cǐ shí jū rán kǒu tǔ rén yán , jìng rán shì yè fēi péng de shēng yīn .
顷刻间,剑光纵横,千万道爆炸在异兽身上绽放."弱!太弱!""萧恒,你在给我挠痒痒呢?"这异兽此时居然口吐人言,竟然是叶飞鹏的声音.
The Cloud Water Heavenly Palace contained countless opportunities. Many cultivators risked their lives to enter it, hoping for sudden wealth. However...
qīng ér yì jǔ de jiāng xiāo héng de gōng jī dǎng xià , yè fēi péng páng dà de shēn qū wēi wēi yī chàn . hǎi shuǐ fān yǒng , juǎn qǐ bǎi zhàng hài làng . yì shòu téng kōng , huà ér wèi niǎo , chōng tiān ér qǐ . miàn duì nà chéng qiān shàng wàn de yún rén dà jūn , tā gēn běn shì háo bù zài hū .
轻而易举的将萧恒的攻击挡下,叶飞鹏庞大的身躯微微一颤.海水翻涌,卷起百丈骇浪.异兽腾空,化而为鸟,冲天而起.面对那成千上万的云人大军,它根本是毫不在乎.
They all overlooked that the existence of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace itself was a marvel! Clouds and water transformed into forms, floating high in the sky. Between reality and illusion, it was a grand spectacle!
héng chōng zhí zhuāng , shì bù kě dǎng .
横冲直装,势不可挡.
Xiao Heng stood outside the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace for nearly a year, countless cultivators entering and exiting, pointing at him. He ignored them all, focusing on his inner understanding.
zhǐ yí gè shùn jiān , jiù bǎ quán bù yún rén zhuàng de fěn suì , lái dào le xiāo héng shēn biān . xiāo héng miàn sè bù biàn , shēn xíng zài dù biàn dé xū huàn . piàn kè hòu , yòu shì chū xiàn zài le tiān kōng zhī de lìng yī chǔ fāng wèi .
只一个瞬间,就把全部云人撞的粉碎,来到了萧恒身边.萧恒面色不变,身形再度变得虚幻.片刻后,又是出现在了天空之的另一处方位.
Eventually, he derived the Void Technique from the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace's existence in the world, along with the Sea Technique and Sword Technique gained from practicing The Divine Sword of Calming the Sea.
" pàng zi , kōng yǒu yī shēn mán lì , yòu yǒu hé yòng ?"
"胖子,空有一身蛮力,又有何用?"
He condensed his golden core using these four techniques!
" nǐ duì wǒ de gōng jī , jiù xiàng cháo tiān kōng rēng fǔ tóu . tiān kōng shì nà me gāo yuǎn , nà me liáo kuò . fǔ zi rēng de zài gāo , yě chù jí bù liǎo tiān kōng de pí máo !"
"你对我的攻击,就像朝天空扔斧头.天空是那么高远,那么辽阔.斧子扔的再高,也触及不了天空的皮毛!"
Shortly after returning to the荒岛, he encountered Yefeipeng, who had also advanced to the Golden Core realm. With his improved strength, Xiao Heng was eager to challenge him.
" zhè jiù shì wǒ lǐng wù de jīn dān sì fǎ zhī yī , kōng zhī fǎ !"" nǐ kàn rú hé ?" xiāo héng de yǔ qì zhōng lù chū yī sī zì ào .
"这就是我领悟的金丹四法之一,空之法!""你看如何?"萧恒的语气中露出一丝自傲.
Yefeipeng readily agreed, leading to their previous battle.
zhī qián , dāng tā kuài yào jié dān shí , shōu dào xīn zhōng zhí jué de míng míng zhǐ yǐn , qián wǎng le cóng yún hǎi zhōng yāng .
之前,当他快要结丹时,收到心中直觉的冥冥指引,前往了丛云海中央.
During their confrontation, even with ample psychological preparation, Xiao Heng was still taken aback. Before the battle, Yefeipeng's "beast transformation" had become more complete. He could completely shed his human form and transform into a true mythical creature.
kàn dào nà zuò yì lì yú tiān kōng zhōng , rú mèng shì huàn de tòu míng jiàn zhù shí , xiāo héng bèi shēn shēn chù dòng le .
看到那座屹立于天空中,如梦似幻的透明建筑时,萧恒被深深触动了.
In its Kui form, it was enormous, hiding in the sea, moving swiftly and unpredictably. A slight distraction would result in Xiao Heng being swallowed whole from beneath the surface.
yún shuǐ tiān gōng , nèi cáng wú shù jī yuán .
云水天宫,内藏无数机缘.
In its Peng form, it moved even faster with hurricane-like winds accompanying its wings. Its speed and strength combined made it incredibly destructive; he had once shattered his 108 Divine Swords of Calming the Sea array.
xǔ duō xiū shì shě shēng wàng sǐ , yě yào jìn rù qí zhōng , wàng tú yī zhāo bào fù . dàn shì ……
许多修士舍生忘死,也要进入其中,妄图一朝暴富.但是……
Fortunately, Xiao Heng's "Void Technique" was extraordinarily effective, allowing him to evade Yefeipeng's frenzied attacks repeatedly.
tā men quán dōu hū shì le , yún shuǐ tiān gōng běn shēn de cún zài , jiù shì yī zhǒng qí jì ! yún shuǐ huà xíng , piāo yú tiān jì . xū shí zhī jiān , wèi rán dà guān !
他们全都忽视了,云水天宫本身的存在,就是一种奇迹!云水化形,飘于天际.虚实之间,蔚然大观!
Seeing this again, the small fatty became furious.
xiāo héng lì yú yún shuǐ tiān kōng wài jìn hū yī zài shí jiān , qī jiān wú shù xiū shì jìn chū , duì tā zhǐ zhǐ diǎn diǎn .
萧恒立于云水天空外近乎一载时间,期间无数修士进出,对他指指点点.
"Vast and high is the sky, but your axe can't reach its surface? Xiao Heng, you are too confident!"
tā dōu zhì ruò wǎng wén , zhǐ shì xì xīn gǎn wù .
他都置若罔闻,只是细心感悟.
"The limits of human power, especially just a Golden Core cultivator, how could you compare to the true sky?"
zuì zhōng , tā cān zhào zhè yún shuǐ tiān kōng cún yú shì jiān de fāng shì , lǐng wù chū yún zhī fǎ \ kōng zhī fǎ . zài jiā shàng tā xiū xíng 《 dìng hǎi shén jiàn 》 suǒ de de hǎi zhī fǎ \ jiàn zhī fǎ .
最终,他参照这云水天空存于世间的方式,领悟出云之法\空之法.再加上他修行《定海神剑》所得的海之法\剑之法.
"If you were the sky..."
zuì zhōng yǐ sì fǎ níng jié jīn dān !
最终以四法凝结金丹!
"I will devour it then!"
huí dào huāng dǎo hòu bù jiǔ , tā què yù dào le tóng yàng tū pò dào jīn dān jìng jiè de yè fēi péng . shí lì dà jìn de xiāo héng zì shì xīn yǎng nán nài , qǐ le hé tā qiē cuō de xīn sī .
回到荒岛后不久,他却遇到了同样突破到金丹境界的叶飞鹏.实力大进的萧恒自是心痒难耐,起了和他切磋的心思.
With a thunderous roar, Yefeipeng's already enormous form expanded further. He flapped his wings, forming chains from green winds that sealed off the sky before opening his massive mouth, releasing black shadows.
yè fēi péng zì shì dā yìng . yú shì jiù yǒu le zhī qián zhè yī zhàn .
叶飞鹏自是答应.于是就有了之前这一战.
These shadows seemed to contain infinite suction, distorting the sky and pulling it towards their mouths.
liǎng rén jiāo shǒu , ráo shì yǐ jīng yǒu le chōng zú de xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi , xiāo héng yě shì chī le yī jīng . xiāng jiāo zhī qián , yè fēi péng " shòu huà " gèng jiā chè dǐ . jìng rán néng wán quán bǎi tuō rén de yàng zi , biàn chéng zhēn zhèng de yì shòu mú yàng .
两人交手,饶是已经有了充足的心理准备,萧恒也是吃了一惊.相交之前,叶飞鹏"兽化"更加彻底.竟然能完全摆脱人的样子,变成真正的异兽模样.
Xiao Heng's face changed as he tried to move again. However, he was shocked to find that his "Void Technique," which had previously been so effective, now lost its efficacy!
kūn xíng tài xià , shēn qū jù dà wú bǐ , cáng yú hǎi zhōng \ sù dù yě jí kuài , ràng rén zhuō mō bù dìng . shāo bù liú shén , jiù cóng hǎi miàn xià yī yuè ér qǐ , jiāng jiē chù dào le yī qiè dōu tūn rù zì jǐ kǒu zhōng .
鲲形态下,身躯巨大无比,藏于海中\速度也极快,让人捉摸不定.稍不留神,就从海面下一跃而起,将接触到了一切都吞入自己口中.
His body flew uncontrollably towards the terrifying beast's mouth under immense pressure, causing the qi within him to cease flowing.
péng xíng tài xià , sù dù yòu kuài le yī chóu . shuāng chì gāo zhǎn shí , gèng huì yǒu jù fēng bàn suí . sù dù \ lì liàng shuāng shuāng jiā chí xià , pò huài lì yě shì gāo de lí pǔ .
鹏形态下,速度又快了一筹.双翅高展时,更会有飓风伴随.速度\力量双双加持下,破坏力也是高的离谱.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng could only reluctantly shout: "I surrender! I give up!" Yefeipeng's eyes flashed red, showing no intention of stopping. Fortunately, after a moment, blackness returned to his eyes, and Yefeipeng regained consciousness, ceasing his actions.
Back in his own secondary residence, Li Fan began to draw out a fragment of his soul for identification once more. This time, he keenly sensed the difference compared to before.
In the white expanse, Li Fan had previously been unable to effectively identify the existence of soul contracts; it relied entirely on his subconscious sense and guesswork. However, after countless souls washed through the Vengeful Soul Sea, it seemed that his own soul underwent some mysterious changes.

One hundred and eight azure water swords spun around him, forming various intricate array formations. He gazed down at the sea with a serious expression as an odd sound echoed from deep beneath the surface. The shadow below rapidly expanded, enveloping Xiao Heng almost instantly.
A massive shadow of a mythical creature appeared, opening its giant mouth to swallow Xiao Heng whole. A flash of blue light momentarily flickered in Xiao Heng's eyes as his figure turned ethereal and vanished, evading the beast's attack.

"The limits of human power, especially just a Golden Core cultivator, how could you compare to the true sky?"
"If you were the sky..."
"I will devour it then!"
With a thunderous roar, Yefeipeng's already enormous form expanded further. He flapped his wings, forming chains from green winds that sealed off the sky before opening his massive mouth, releasing black shadows.
These shadows seemed to contain infinite suction, distorting the sky and pulling it towards their mouths.
Xiao Heng's face changed as he tried to move again. However, he was shocked to find that his "Void Technique," which had previously been so effective, now lost its efficacy!
His body flew uncontrollably towards the terrifying beast's mouth under immense pressure, causing the qi within him to cease flowing.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng could only reluctantly shout: "I surrender! I give up!" Yefeipeng's eyes flashed red, showing no intention of stopping. Fortunately, after a moment, blackness returned to his eyes, and Yefeipeng regained consciousness, ceasing his actions.
