wú shù hēi sè lì zi yǒng dòng ， rú cháo shuǐ bān zì tiān ér xià ， jiāng suǒ yù dào de yī qiè quán dōu qīn shí dài jìn 。
无数黑色粒子涌动，如潮水般自天而下，将所遇到的一切全都侵蚀殆尽。
Innumerable black particles surged, like a tide descending from the heavens, eroding everything in their path.
cóng yún hǎi nèi ， wàn xiān dǎo shàng ， chú le nà shén mì de tiān shā jiàn zhī wài ， zài méi yǒu rèn hé yī gǔ kě yǐ gēn mò shā xiāng kàng héng de lì liàng 。
丛云海内，万仙岛上，除了那神秘的天煞剑之外，再没有任何一股可以跟墨杀相抗衡的力量。
In the Cunyun Sea and on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, apart from the mysterious Heaven's Malefic Sword, no other force could match Moksha.
mò sè dà cháo dāng tóu lǒng zhào ， lǐ fán sī niàn jí zhuǎn 。
墨色大潮当头笼罩，李凡思念急转。
The black tide enveloped Li Fan as his thoughts raced.
“ cǐ shì mò shā jiàng lín ， wèi shén me huì jīng dòng yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhōng de tiān shā jiàn ?”
“此世墨杀降临，为什么会惊动云水天宫中的天煞剑?”
"Why does Moksha's descent cause the Heaven's Malefic Sword in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace to stir?"
“ chū rù xiū xiān jiè shí ， zhǐ yǒu chì yán fén hǎi ， xiǎng bì yǐng xiǎng bú dào yún shuǐ tiān gōng 。”
“初入修仙界时，只有赤炎焚海，想必影响不到云水天宫。”
"During my first entry into the world of cultivation, only the Fiery Flame that Burned the Sea affected. It likely wouldn't impact the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace."
“ dì shí èr shì shí ， wǒ jiāng tiān yī de diāo xiàng sòng rù yún shuǐ tiān gōng ， què yǐn lái fū zǐ 。 liǎng zhě dà zhàn ， yún shuǐ tiān gōng chóng xīn xiàn rù fēng yìn 。 suǒ yǐ mò shā miè shì shí ， méi néng yù jiàn tiān shā jiàn 。”
“第十二世时，我将天医的凋像送入云水天宫，却引来夫子。两者大战，云水天宫重新陷入封印。所以墨杀灭世时，没能遇见天煞剑。”
"In my twelfth incarnation, I sent the withered image of Tianshi into the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, which brought about a confrontation with the Master. The palace was resealed as a result. Thus, when Moksha descended to destroy the world, it didn't encounter the Heaven's Malefic Sword."
“ cǐ shì ， yīn wèi jì dàn tiān yī nà jīng shì hài sú de dú xīn shǒu duàn ， wǒ bìng méi yǒu xuǎn zé wán chéng yún shuǐ tú lù de rèn wù 。 ér wéi yī zhī dào yún shuǐ tú lù mì mì de sī kōng yí ， yòu bèi wǒ zǎo zǎo miè shā 。 suǒ yǐ yún shuǐ tiān gōng réng rán gāo xuán cóng yún hǎi shàng 。 zhí dào mò shā jiàng lín ……”
“此世，因为忌惮天医那惊世骇俗的读心手段，我并没有选择完成云水图箓的任务。而唯一知道云水图箓秘密的司空宜，又被我早早灭杀。所以云水天宫仍然高悬丛云海上。直到墨杀降临……”
"Here in this life, due to my fear of Tianshi's mind-reading abilities, I did not complete the Cloud Water Scroll task. And since I had already killed Si Kong Yi early on, the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace still hangs over Cunyun Sea until Moksha descended..."
chà nà jiān ， lǐ fán jiù míng bái le cǐ shì tiān shā jiàn hé mò shā zài cǐ dà zhàn de yuán yīn 。
刹那间，李凡就明白了此世天煞剑和墨杀在此大战的原因。
In an instant, Li Fan understood why the Heaven's Malefic Sword and Moksha were in such a great conflict.
yǎn zhōng jīng guāng shǎn dòng ， shì xiàn hǎo sì yào chuān guò wú qióng de mò hǎi ， zhí dá tiān qióng zhōng liǎng zhě duì zhàn zhī chù 。
眼中精光闪动，视线好似要穿过无穷的墨海，直达天穹中两者对战之处。
His eyes flashed as he seemed to pierce through the endless black sea, looking towards where both forces clashed in the sky.
“ mò shā 、 tiān shā ……”
“墨杀、天煞……”
"Moksha, Heaven's Malefic... If I could witness their battle, it would be worth more than countless opportunities."
“ ruò shì néng yī guān èr zhě zhī zhàn ， dìng shèng guò jī yuán wú shù 。”
“若是能一观二者之战，定胜过机缘无数。”
As Li Fan pondered, the black particles approached him without fear. He raised his right hand high and placed his arm before them.
jiù zài lǐ fán sī suǒ de gōng fu ， hēi sè wēi lì yǐ jīng lái dào tā de miàn qián 。
就在李凡思索的功夫，黑色微粒已经来到他的面前。
Watching his body vanish into the writhing blackness, Li Fan carefully felt within himself.
bìng méi yǒu jù pà zhī sè ， lǐ fán gāo gāo jǔ qǐ yòu shǒu ， jiāng bì bǎng sòng dào hēi sè wēi lì miàn qián 。
并没有惧怕之色，李凡高高举起右手，将臂膀送到黑色微粒面前。
There was no pain or sensation at all.
kàn zhe zì jǐ de shēn qū jiù zhè yàng xiāo shī zài rú dòng de mò sè zhōng ， lǐ fán xì xì gǎn wù 。
看着自己的身躯就这样消失在蠕动的墨色中，李凡细细感悟。
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might not have noticed any part of his body had vanished.
méi yǒu tòng jué ， shèn zhì méi yǒu sī háo gǎn jué 。
没有痛觉，甚至没有丝毫感觉。
"Pure... nothingness..."
ruò bú shì qīn yǎn suǒ jiàn ， kě néng lián zì jǐ shēn tǐ de yī bù fèn xiāo shī le dōu wú fǎ chá jué 。
若不是亲眼所见，可能连自己身体的一部分消失了都无法察觉。
Li Fan's mind stirred. The Art of Creation and Transformation began to operate in his body. Vital energy surged out to counter the invading black particles.
“ chún cuì de wú ……”
“纯粹的无……”
He tried to use this pure life force against the void-like power.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng wēi dòng 。
李凡心中微动。
It seemed to delay things by a tiny fraction, but it might just have been an illusion.
shà shí jiān ， zào huà hōng lú gōng hōng rán yùn zhuàn 。
霎时间，造化烘炉功轰然运转。
The surging blackness then swallowed Li Fan's clone.
tǐ nèi mì cáng zhī lì péng bó ér chū ， yǒng xiàng shǒu bì hēi sè lì zi qīn shí chù 。
体内密藏之力蓬勃而出，涌向手臂黑色粒子侵蚀处。
...
lǐ fán shì tú yòng zhè chún cuì de shēng zhī lì liàng ， hé nà xū wú zhī lì jìn xíng kàng héng 。
李凡试图用这纯粹的生之力量，和那虚无之力进行抗衡。
In Tiyu Province at the寰宇别院 (Huanyu Separate Courtyard), both his main body and his clone ten thousand miles away raised their arms, closed their eyes in thought, seemingly sensing something.
sì hū dí què yán chí le nà me yī sī de shí jiān 。
似乎的确延迟了那么一丝的时间。
After a long time, they lowered their hands.
què yòu hǎo xiàng zhǐ shì lǐ fán de cuò jué 。
却又好像只是李凡的错觉。
"The hidden power is life force, creation force."
gǔn gǔn mò sè ， suí jí bǎ lǐ fán fēn shēn tūn shì 。
滚滚墨色，随即把李凡分身吞噬。
"The Moksha's power is the force of erasure, voidification."
……
……
"As for Heaven's Malefic's power, it seems more like distortion, chaos, and destruction..."
tiān yǔ zhōu ， huán yǔ bié yuàn 。
天禹州，寰宇别院。
"This might not be their true forms, but these are my personal insights."
cǐ shí ， lǐ fán běn zūn ， hé wàn wàn lǐ zhī wài de fēn shēn yī yàng ， gāo jǔ shǒu bì ， bì mù wēi sī ， sì hū zài gǎn wù zhe shén me 。
此时，李凡本尊，和万万里之外的分身一样，高举手臂，闭目微思，似乎在感悟着什么。
"With such insights, I can achieve Golden Core!"
xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， cái jiāng shuāng shǒu fàng xià 。
许久之后，才将双手放下。
Revisiting his recent enlightenment, Li Fan stored it carefully in the Dao Crystal in his mind. He felt a sense of joy.
“ mì cáng zhī lì ， nǎi shì shēng mìng zhī lì ， chuàng shēng zhī lì 。”
“密藏之力，乃是生命之力，创生之力。”
The laws of heaven and earth, when understood by cultivators, lead to the formation of a golden core.
“ mò shā zhī lì ， zé shì mǒ shā zhī lì ， huà xū zhī lì 。”
“墨杀之力，则是抹杀之力，化虚之力。”
If one could compare the myriad laws of heaven and earth to beautiful paintings,
“ zhì yú tiān shā zhī lì ， gèng xiàng shì niǔ qū 、 hùn luàn 、 huǐ miè zhī lì ……”
“至于天煞之力，更像是扭曲、混乱、毁灭之力……”
then the process of "glimpsing these laws" and forming a Golden Core would be like tracing over an outline with a transparent sheet on top of the painting.
“ zhè huò xǔ bìng fēi shì tā men de zhēn shí lì liàng yuán mào ， dàn què shì wǒ de qiè shēn gǎn wù 。”
“这或许并非是她们的真实力量原貌，但却是我的切身感悟。”
The result might not match the original, but it can still be quite similar.
“ rú cǐ gǎn wù ， zú yǐ chéng jiù jīn dān ！”
“如此感悟，足以成就金丹！”
While a cultivator's method for forming a golden core is far from the true laws of heaven and earth,
zài cì jiāng gāng gāng de wù dào xīn dé huí wèi piàn kè ， suí hòu jiāng qí xī xīn cún yú nǎo hǎi de huà dào jīng tǐ zhōng ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù miǎn yǒu xiē xīn xǐ 。
再次将刚刚的悟道心得回味片刻，随后将其悉心存于脑海的化道晶体中，李凡心中不免有些欣喜。
even by copying them, one can still capture some of their power.
tiān dì yǒu fǎ ， xiū shì kuī zhī ， dé chéng jīn dān 。
天地有法，修士窥之，得成金丹。
"I originally planned to use Heaven's Malefic, Vast Sea, Azure Flame, and Moksha's methods to form my Golden Core."
rú guǒ bǎ tiān dì jiān de zhǒng zhǒng fǎ zé bǐ yù chéng yī fú fú jué měi huà juàn de huà 。
如果把天地间的种种法则比喻成一幅幅绝美画卷的话。
"Now it seems that with my insights, I can advance further."
nà me rú jīn xiū shì “ kuī tiān dì zhī fǎ ” jié dān de guò chéng ， jiù hǎo sì ná zhe yī zhāng tòu míng bái zhǐ 、 zài huà juàn shàng yī bǐ yī huà de lín mó 。
那么如今修士“窥天地之法”结丹的过程，就好似拿着一张透明白纸、在画卷上一笔一划的临摹。
"Heaven's Malefic and Azure Flame. Distortion and chaos versus calm rationality."
chàng xiǎng zhōng wén wǎng
畅想中文网
"Moksha and Hidden Power. Creation and voidification."
dé dào de jié guǒ ， suī rán bù néng shuō gēn zhēn zhèng de huà zuò xiāng bǐ bìng lùn ， dàn shì zuò dào jí wéi xiāng sì 、 hái shì bù nán de 。
得到的结果，虽然不能说跟真正的画作相比并论，但是做到极为相似、还是不难的。
"Vast Sea... is essentially the water law."
xiū shì de jīn dān zhī fǎ ， gēn zhēn zhèng de tiān dì fǎ zé xiāng bǐ ， réng rán xiāng chā shèn yuǎn 。
修士的金丹之法，跟真正的天地法则相比，仍然相差甚远。
"Solo water cannot sustain life; if I could use the Five Elements to form my Golden Core, it would be a never-ending process."
dàn jí shǐ yī hú lú huà piáo ， què yě néng fù xiàn qí jǐ fēn wēi shì 。
但即使依葫芦画瓢，却也能复现其几分威势。
More importantly, this achievement would greatly benefit his next step towards forming an Immortal Embryo.
“ yuán běn wǒ dǎ suàn yǐ tiān shā zhī fǎ 、 hàn hǎi zhī fǎ 、 lán yán zhī fǎ 、 mò shā zhī fǎ ， sì fǎ jié dān 。”
“原本我打算以天煞之法、瀚海之法、蓝炎之法、墨杀之法，四法结丹。”
Those who fail to plan for eternity are not fit to plan for a moment.
“ xiàn zài kàn lái ， píng wǒ de gǎn wù ， kě yǐ zài jìn yí bù 。”
“现在看来，凭我的感悟，可以再进一步。”
After successfully establishing Foundation Establishment with Truly Real Technique, Li Fan had already outlined his future path in cultivation.
“ tiān shā zhī fǎ 、 lán yán zhī fǎ 。 niǔ qū hùn luàn ， yǔ lěng jìng lǐ zhì 。”
“天煞之法、蓝炎之法。扭曲混乱，与冷静理智。”
In this world, the path of cultivation was no mystery; its direction was set.
“ mò shā zhī fǎ ， mì cáng zhī fǎ 。 chuàng shēng hé xū wú 。”
“墨杀之法，密藏之法。创生和虚无。”
After glimpsing these laws, he would seek out the essence of heaven and earth to form an Immortal Embryo.
“ hàn hǎi zhī fǎ …… shí nǎi shuǐ zhī fǎ 。”
“瀚海之法……实乃水之法。”
He had encountered many Immortal Embryos and knew that the essence of heaven and earth referred to various immortal paradises within this Xuanhuang Realm.
“ gū shuǐ nán shēng ， ruò shì néng yǐ wǔ xíng fǎ jié dān ， zé néng shēng shēng bù xī 。”
“孤水难生，若是能以五行法结丹，则能生生不息。”
The Xuanhuang Realm was vast; ancient paradises existed, new ones were constantly born, and others reappeared as cultivators fell. Countless such places existed.
“ gèng wéi guān jiàn de shì ， cǐ shì ruò chéng ， duì yú wǒ xià yī bù chéng jiù yuán yīng ， yě shì dà yǒu bì yì 。”
“更为关键的是，此事若成，对于我下一步成就元婴，也是大有裨益。”
These became proof for Golden Core cultivators to form Immortal Embryos.
suǒ wèi bù móu wàn shì zhě ， bù zú móu yī shí 。
所谓不谋万世者，不足谋一时。
Li Fan's goal had been set: the Five Great Paradises that once caused a brutal war between the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Five Elders' Association.
zài lǐ fán chéng gōng yǐ huán zhēn zhù jī zhī hòu ， tā jiù duì yǐ hòu xiū xíng de dào lù ， dà zhì jìn xíng le guī huà 。
在李凡成功以还真筑基之后，他就对以后修行的道路，大致进行了规划。
The Five Great Paradises!
cǐ fāng shì jiè ， xiū xíng zhī lù bìng bù shén mì ， fāng xiàng zǎo yǐ jīng dìng sǐ 。
此方世界，修行之路并不神秘，方向早已经定死。
The stronger an Immortal Embryo could seize, the greater its power after forming an Immortal Embryo.
kuī tiān dì zhī fǎ yǐ liàn jīn dān hòu ， jiù shì duó tiān dì zhī jīng yǐ chéng yuán yīng 。
窥天地之法以炼金丹后，就是夺天地之精以成元婴。
One of these paradises was evaluated by the Heavenly Mirror as having "enormous scale, high Azure Flame essence, and a rich variety of spirit plants and herbs."
biàn lǎn wú shù mì xīn ， gèng shì jiē chù guò xǔ duō yuán yīng xiū shì 。
遍览无数秘辛，更是接触过许多元婴修士。
It was hard to imagine how precious the complete Five Great Paradises would be.
lǐ fán zǎo yǐ zhī xiǎo ， suǒ wèi de tiān dì zhī jīng ， jiù shì zhè xuán huáng jiè nèi de gè zhǒng dòng tiān fú dì 。
李凡早已知晓，所谓的天地之精，就是这玄黄界内的各种洞天福地。
The Immortal Embryos formed from them would be incredibly powerful.
xuán huáng jiè páng dà wú bǐ ， gǔ zǎo zhī qián yǐ jīng cún zài 、 suí hòu bèi fēng yìn de ； měi shí měi kè dōu zài xīn dàn shēng de ； suí zhe xiū shì yǔn luò 、 chóng xīn fù xiàn de ， zhǒng zhǒng dòng tiān fú dì ， shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
玄黄界庞大无比，古早之前已经存在、随后被封印的；每时每刻都在新诞生的；随着修士陨落、重新复现的，种种洞天福地，数不胜数。
Moreover, with the interplay of the Five Elements, their foundation could lead to further transformations when combined with Truly Real Technique.
ér zhè xiē dì fāng ， yě jiù chéng wéi le jīn dān xiū shì chéng jiù yuán yīng de píng zhèng 。
而这些地方，也就成为了金丹修士成就元婴的凭证。
While seeking the Five Great Paradises posed significant risks,
duì yú lǐ fán lái jiǎng ， tā de mù biāo zǎo yǐ jīng dìng xià 。
对于李凡来讲，他的目标早已经定下。
for ordinary cultivators, it was nothing but a dream.
zhèng shì nà yí dù yǐn qǐ wàn xiān méng hé wǔ lǎo huì cǎn liè dà zhàn de ……
正是那一度引起万仙盟和五老会惨烈大战的……
But with the aid of Truly Real Technique, countless opportunities and his foresight, the Five Great Paradises would surely be within Li Fan's grasp.
wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ！
五行大洞天！
"Completing the Five Elements does not necessarily require personal travel."
yuán yīng xiū shì lüè duó de dòng tiān yuè qiáng ， tā jié yīng hòu de shí lì yě jiù yuè qiáng 。
元婴修士掠夺的洞天越强，他结婴后的实力也就越强。
"In the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, you have enough contributions to buy almost anything."
zhè wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān zhōng ， guāng zhǐ shì qí zhōng zhī yī de mù shǔ xìng dòng tiān ， jiù dé dào le tiān xuán jìng “ guī mó jí dà ， mù shǔ xìng líng qì jí gāo ， gè zhǒng líng zhí cǎo yào jí dà fēng fù ” de píng jià 。
这五行大洞天中，光只是其中之一的木属性洞天，就得到了天玄镜“规模极大，木属性灵气极高，各种灵植草药极大丰富”的评价。
"Besides, it's just a Golden Core cultivator's insights; they might not be particularly valuable."
nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， wán zhěng de wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， jiū jìng shì hé děng de zhēn guì 。
难以想象，完整的五行大洞天，究竟是何等的珍贵。
Li Fan had already made a fortune from the Spirit Fog Grass incident and received 260,000 contribution points when Xiao Xuanhuang was sold by Jiao Xiuyuan.
yǐ tā chéng jiù de yuán yīng ， yòu huì shì hé děng de qiáng hàn 。
以它成就的元婴，又会是何等的强悍。
He didn't need to worry about anything.
ér qiě ， wǔ xíng xiāng shēng xiāng kè ， yǎn huà tiān dì wàn wù 。
而且，五行相生相克，衍化天地万物。
Thinking this way, Li Fan searched through the Heavenly Mirror for Golden Core insights related to Gold, Wood, Fire, and Earth.
yǐ qí wèi gēn jī ， zài pèi hé 【 hái zhēn 】 zhī néng ， shuō bù dìng dào shí hòu yòu huì chǎn shēng lìng wài de biàn huà 。
以其为根基，再配合【还真】之能，说不定到时候又会产生另外的变化。
The Five Elements were common laws in heaven and earth, so there were many results. Prices varied based on their specific power, ranging from 50,000 to over 100,000 points.
suī rán xiǎng yào móu qiú wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， dìng rán fēng xiǎn jí dà 。
虽然想要谋求五行大洞天，定然风险极大。
Li Fan carefully reviewed them, selecting his targets.
duì xún cháng xiū shì lái shuō ， zhǐ néng shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
对寻常修士来说，只能是痴人说梦。
Notably, the records of Golden Core insights weren't stored in jade slips but directly as Golden Core Fragments.
dàn yǒu hái zhēn xiàng zhù ， wú shù cì de fǎn fù cháng shì jī huì ， zài jiā shàng xiān zhī xiān jué de néng lì 。
但有还真相助，无数次的反复尝试机会，再加上先知先觉的能力。
It seemed these were processed remains of cultivators' golden cores after death.
wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， bì rán yě zhǐ shì lǐ fán de náng zhōng zhī wù ér yǐ 。
五行大洞天，必然也只是李凡的囊中之物而已。
Since Li Fan only needed to complete the Five Elements and didn't require much strength from the other four methods, he quickly chose suitable Golden Core Fragments.
Innumerable black particles surged, like a tide descending from the heavens, eroding everything in their path.
In the Cunyun Sea and on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, apart from the mysterious Heaven's Malefic Sword, no other force could match Moksha.
The black tide enveloped Li Fan as his thoughts raced.
"Why does Moksha's descent cause the Heaven's Malefic Sword in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace to stir?"
"During my first entry into the world of cultivation, only the Fiery Flame that Burned the Sea affected. It likely wouldn't impact the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace."

"Here in this life, due to my fear of Tianshi's mind-reading abilities, I did not complete the Cloud Water Scroll task. And since I had already killed Si Kong Yi early on, the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace still hangs over Cunyun Sea until Moksha descended..."
In an instant, Li Fan understood why the Heaven's Malefic Sword and Moksha were in such a great conflict.
His eyes flashed as he seemed to pierce through the endless black sea, looking towards where both forces clashed in the sky.
"Moksha, Heaven's Malefic... If I could witness their battle, it would be worth more than countless opportunities."
As Li Fan pondered, the black particles approached him without fear. He raised his right hand high and placed his arm before them.
Watching his body vanish into the writhing blackness, Li Fan carefully felt within himself.
There was no pain or sensation at all.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might not have noticed any part of his body had vanished.
"Pure... nothingness..."
Li Fan's mind stirred. The Art of Creation and Transformation began to operate in his body. Vital energy surged out to counter the invading black particles.
He tried to use this pure life force against the void-like power.
It seemed to delay things by a tiny fraction, but it might just have been an illusion.
The surging blackness then swallowed Li Fan's clone.

In Tiyu Province at the寰宇别院 (Huanyu Separate Courtyard), both his main body and his clone ten thousand miles away raised their arms, closed their eyes in thought, seemingly sensing something.
