“ xǔ kè !!“
“许克!!“
"Xu Ke!!"
sòng yáng qì jí bài huài \ yòu yǒu xiē jué wàng de shēng yīn yǐn yǐn cóng xià fāng chuán lái . sǐ lǐ táo shēng de xǔ kè huí shǒu wàng qù , què bǎo sòng yáng bú huì zhuī shàng lái .
宋阳气急败坏\又有些绝望的声音隐隐从下方传来.死里逃生的许克回首望去,确保宋阳不会追上来.
Sung Yang's panicked and somewhat despondent voice faintly echoed from below. Xu Ke, who had narrowly escaped death, turned his head to look back, ensuring that Sung Yang wouldn't follow.
guò le xǔ jiǔ , méi kàn jiàn duì fāng shēn yǐng , zhè bù yóu dì sōng le kǒu qì .“ xiǎo qīng , xiè xiè la !“
过了许久,没看见对方身影,这不由地松了口气.“小青,谢谢啦!“
After a long while with no sign of the other party, he let out a sigh of relief. "Xiao Qing, thank you!" Xu Ke said familiarly to the phoenix bird named Qingluan, gently stroking its neck as it flew. The phoenix chirped softly in response.
xǔ kè zì lái shú de duì qīng luán niǎo shuō dào , shùn shǒu fǔ mō le xià tā de bó zi . qīng luán niǎo yī biān fēi zhe , yī biān qīng qīng tí míng le yī shēng , yǐ shì huí yìng .
许克自来熟的对青鸾鸟说道,顺手抚摸了下它的脖子.青鸾鸟一边飞着,一边轻轻蹄鸣了一声,以示回应.
Meanwhile, Li Fan had exhausted himself from consecutively using two innate divine powers and was being pursued by enemies. His mind was on high alert, but now that he suddenly relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep. With this sleep, his time limit in the Realm of Fallen Stars came to an end.
ér lǐ fán zé shì yīn wèi lián xù fā dòng liǎng gè tiān fù shén tōng , xiāo hào tài dà . yòu bèi rén zhuī shā , jīng shén gāo dù jǐn bēng . cǐ shí zhòu rán fàng sōng xià lái , dùn shí hūn chén chén shuì qù . ér zhè yī shuì , tā zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de cún xù qī xiàn yě jiù dào le .
而李凡则是因为连续发动两个天赋神通,消耗太大.又被人追杀,精神高度紧绷.此时骤然放松下来,顿时昏沉沉睡去.而这一睡,他在陨仙境中的存续期限也就到了.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself back in the world of cultivation.
děng tā huí fù le yì shí , què shì yǐ rán fǎn huí le xiū xiān jiè zhōng .
等他回复了意识,却是已然返回了修仙界中.
Reflecting on the somewhat anticlimactic journey through the Realm of Fallen Stars with the Beast Taming Sect, Li Fan couldn't help but sigh.
huí wèi le xià zhè tàng pǒ yǒu xiē hǔ tóu shé wěi yì wèi de yǔn xiān jìng yù shòu zōng zhī lǚ , lǐ fán bù yóu de gǎn kǎi le yī jù .
回味了下这趟颇有些虎头蛇尾意味的陨仙境御兽宗之旅,李凡不由得感慨了一句.
"Is that all?"
“ jiù zhè ?“
“就这?“
Unlike his previous incarnation as Li Chen from Purple Heaven Sect, who had a distinct sense of self and could move freely, this time he started off at an extremely low level—just like a newborn bird hatched in an egg.
bù xiàng zhī qián fù shēn zǐ xiāo zōng lǐ chén nà yàng , yǒu zhe dú lì de zì wǒ yì shí , kě yǐ zì yóu xíng dòng bù shuō .
不像之前附身紫霄宗李尘那样,有着独立的自我意识,可以自由行动不说.
He accomplished nothing significant, spending most of his days eating and drinking.
qǐ diǎn yě jí dī , zhǐ shì dàn ké lǐ chū shēng de yòu niǎo .
起点也极低,只是蛋壳里出生的幼鸟.
Even with two months of rapid growth, his strength gains were limited; he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm as his peak. In the ancient world of cultivation, this was almost at the bottom tier.
jī běn shén mó shì yě gàn bù chéng , chéng tiān zài chī chī hē hē zhōng dù guò .
基本什麽事也干不成,成天在吃吃喝喝中度过.
If he wanted to do anything meaningful, it would be futile. "Could it be that I need to reveal my true form and move freely?"
liǎng gè duō yuè de shí jiān , chéng zhǎng zài zěn me xùn sù , shí lì tí shēng yě yǒu xiàn . zhù jī qī jiù yǐ jīng shì jí xiàn le . zài shàng gǔ shí qī de xiū xiān jiè , zhè ge xiū wèi jī hū jiù shì diàn dǐ de cún zài .
两个多月的时间,成长再怎么迅速,实力提升也有限.筑基期就已经是极限了.在上古时期的修仙界,这个修为几乎就是垫底的存在.
"Or..."
jiù suàn xiǎng yào gàn xiē shén mó , yě wú néng wéi lì .“ nán bù chéng , yào xiǎn chū běn tǐ zì yóu xíng dòng ?““ huò zhě ……“
就算想要干些什麽,也无能为力.“难不成,要显出本体自由行动?““或者……“
Unlike his confused state when possessing the Azure Bird, Li Fan quickly recalled Ye Feipeng, who had cultivated the Art of Creation Furnace with Kua Peng essence blood, activating his Kua Peng lineage.
hé fù shēn xuán niǎo shí mí hū bù qīng de sī wéi bù tóng , lǐ fán hěn kuài xiǎng dào le zhī qián , shēn huái kūn péng jīng xuè de yè fēi péng , xiū liàn [ zào huà hōng lú gōng ], cuì liàn jī huó kūn péng xuè mài de shì qíng .
和附身玄鸟时迷糊不清的思维不同,李凡很快想到了之前,身怀鲲鹏精血的叶飞鹏,修炼[造化烘炉功],淬炼激活鲲鹏血脉的事情.
"Perhaps this Art of Creation Furnace can have a miraculous effect on foreign beasts."
“ huò xǔ , zhè zào huà hōng lú gōng diào yòng tǐ nèi mì cáng de fāng fǎ , duì yú yì shòu yǒu zhe qí xiào .““ dǎo shì kě yǐ cháng shì yī èr .““ ń ……““ dào yě bù jí , qiě kàn xià cì zài dù jìn rù , huì yǒu shén mó biàn huà .“
“或许,这造化烘炉功调用体内密藏的方法,对于异兽有着奇效.““倒是可以尝试一二.““嗯……““倒也不急,且看下次再度进入,会有什麽变化.“
"It's worth trying."
yóu yú níng yuǎn chéng hé yù shòu zōng nèi , dōu chū xiàn le nà shén mì de bái xiān shēng de zōng jì .
由于宁远城和御兽宗内,都出现了那神秘的白先生的踪迹.
"Hmm..."
suǒ yǐ lǐ fán tuī dìng , zhè yù shòu zōng nèi de chǎng jǐng , dìng rán yě shì gēn zhī qián níng yuǎn chéng yī yàng , bù mǎn zú mǒu zhǒng tiáo jiàn , jiù wú fǎ táo tuō .
所以李凡推定,这御兽宗内的场景,定然也是跟之前宁远城一样,不满足某种条件,就无法逃脱.
"There's no rush. Let's see how things change next time I enter."
yì zhí chù zài mǒu zhǒng lún huí zhōng .
一直处在某种轮回中.
Due to the mysterious White Master's presence in Ning Yuan City and the Beast Taming Sect, Li Fan deduced that the scene within the sect was likely similar to that of Ning Yuan City—only by meeting certain conditions could one escape.
zhì yú shì yě bú shì , wú xū jiū jié , xià cì zài dù jìn rù , zì huì zhī xiǎo . gǎn yìng le xià qī xiàn , dà yuē bàn nián hòu , xiàn zhì jiù huì xiāo shī .
至于是也不是,无需纠结,下次再度进入,自会知晓.感应了下期限,大约半年后,限至就会消失.
He remained trapped in a cycle until he figured out what those conditions were.
dào shí hòu zì jǐ yīng gāi tiān yǔ zhōu shì le , qián wǎng tiān yùn zhōu le .
到时候自己应该天禹州事了,前往天运州了.
Without worrying about it, he would find out during his next entry. He sensed that the time limit would vanish after approximately six months.
“ bù guò , huò xǔ jì hóng dào bú huì zhè me qīng yì de fàng wǒ lí qù .“
“不过,或许纪宏道不会这么轻易的放我离去.“
By then, he should have completed matters in Tianyu State and be heading to Tianyun State.
“ àn zhào yuán běn de jì huà , měi gè zhōu de xué yuán zài wán chéng péi xùn hòu , jī běn dōu shì huí dào zì jǐ jiā xiāng , fù zé [ tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn ] de jiàn zào .“
“按照原本的计划,每个州的学员在完成培训后,基本都是回到自己家乡,负责[天玄锁灵阵]的建造.“
"However, perhaps Ji Hong Dao won't let me leave so easily."
“ dàn rú jīn cóng yún hǎi yǐ jīng xiāo shī , bù zhī wǒ huì yǒu shén mó ān pái .““ ér qiě , zài lí kāi tiān yǔ zhōu zhī qián , wǒ hái yǒu yī shì yào zuò .“
“但如今丛云海已经消失,不知我会有什麽安排.““而且,在离开天禹州之前,我还有一事要做.“
According to the original plan, most students from each state would return home after completing their training to oversee the construction of the [Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array].
lǐ fán lí kāi bì guān mì shì , lái dào yǒu tiān xuán jìng suǒ zài de fáng jiān , sōu suǒ qǐ le jí chéng tiān zūn xuán shǎng de yǒu guān xìn xī .
李凡离开闭关密室,来到有天玄镜所在的房间,搜索起了极成天尊悬赏的有关信息.
"But now that Cunyun Sea has vanished, I wonder what my arrangements will be."
yǎn fǎ jué de shǐ yòng jī huì hé qí bǎo guì , rèn hé rén dōu bù xiǎng cuò guò .
衍法珏的使用机会何其宝贵,任何人都不想错过.
"And before leaving Tianyu State, there's one more thing I need to do."
zhè duàn shí jiān lǐ , yuán běn jiù zhēn xī wú bǐ de yán shòu tiān cái dì bǎo , jià gé gèng shì fēi zhǎng . yǒu jià wú shì , wǎng wǎng xū yào yòng gāo jiē gōng fǎ huò zhě shì tè shū de bǎo wù cái néng huàn dào .
这段时间里,原本就珍稀无比的延寿天才地宝,价格更是飞涨.有价无市,往往需要用高阶功法或者是特殊的宝物才能换到.
Leaving his seclusion chamber, Li Fan went to the room with the Heavenly Xuan Mirror and searched for information about the reward offered by Supreme Heaven尊.
yǒu xiǎo dào xiāo xī shuō , yǐ jīng yǒu xiū shì cóng yī chù yí jì zhōng fā xiàn le yī méi [ cháng shēng guǒ ]. jù shuō cǐ guǒ nǎi shì shàng gǔ xiū xiān zhě men , yòng cháng shēng zhǒng jì liàn ér chéng , kě yán shòu wǔ bǎi zài .
有小道消息说,已经有修士从一处遗迹中发现了一枚[长生果].据说此果乃是上古修仙者们,用长生种祭练而成,可延寿五百载.
The opportunity to use the Art of Creation was extremely precious; no one wanted to miss it.
guò wǎng zhǐ zài diǎn jí de zhī yán piàn yǔ zhōng jiàn guò , bù xiǎng rú jīn jū rán zhēn de hái néng jiàn dào shí wù .
过往只在典籍的只言片语中见过,不想如今居然真的还能见到实物.
During this period, the already rare and invaluable immortal longevity treasures had seen their prices skyrocket. They were often exchanged only through high-level cultivation techniques or special treasures.
zhè wèi xìng yùn de xiū shì , wèi le bì miǎn yè cháng mèng duō , yǐ jīng bǎ cháng shēng guǒ xiàn gěi le jí chéng tiān zūn .
这位幸运的修士,为了避免夜长梦多,已经把长生果献给了极成天尊.
There were whispers that a cultivator had discovered a [Longevity Fruit] in an ancient ruin. It was said that this fruit was created by ancient immortals using the Longevity Seed, capable of extending life by five hundred years.
bìng qiě zhōng rì duǒ zài tiān xuán jìng kōng jiān zhōng , bù kěn wài chū . zhǐ děng shí qī yī dào , duì xiàn shǐ yòng yǎn fǎ jué de jī huì .“ wǒ de huà shēng shòu guǒ , yě yán shòu sān bǎi zài .“
并且终日躲在天玄镜空间中,不肯外出.只等时期一到,兑现使用衍法珏的机会.“我的化生寿果,也延寿三百载.“
He had only seen references to it in ancient texts; he never imagined actually seeing one.
“ bù zhī dào néng bù néng wèi liè qián sān .“
“不知道能不能位列前三.“
This fortunate cultivator had already presented the Longevity Fruit to Supreme Heaven尊 and remained hidden within the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's space, waiting for his chance to use the Art of Creation.
“ yuán běn wǒ hái xìn xīn shí zú , bù guò xuán huáng jiè bì jìng lì shǐ yōu yuǎn , yǐn mì de bǎo wù tài duō . zhòng shǎng zhī xià , chū xiàn bǐ shòu guǒ hái guì zhòng de , yě shì zhèng cháng .“
“原本我还信心十足,不过玄黄界毕竟历史悠远,隐秘的宝物太多.重赏之下,出现比寿果还贵重的,也是正常.“
"My own Life-Generating Fruit also gained three hundred years." "I wonder if I can rank among the top three."
“ děng jié guǒ jiē xiǎo , ruò shì cǐ shì bù xíng , yě kě dǎ tàn qián sān míng de lái lì . xià yī shì zài tí qián móu huà .“
“等结果揭晓,若是此世不行,也可打探前三名的来历.下一世再提前谋划.“
"Originally, I was confident, but the Xuanhuang Realm is so ancient with many hidden treasures. It's normal for someone to find something more valuable than a Longevity Fruit under such circumstances."
“ bù guò , zhǔn bèi què shì xū yào tí qián zuò de .“
“不过,准备却是需要提前做的.“
"When the results are revealed, if this world doesn't work out, I can investigate the origins of the top three and plan ahead in my next life.
zhī qián nà jù fēn shēn , yǐ jīng suí zhe cóng yún hǎi , yī qí zàng sòng zài mò shā shǒu zhōng . jí chéng tiān zūn xuán shǎng zhī shì , kě wèi shì wàn zhòng zhǔ mù . zhǔ dòng tiào chū lái , zhàn zài jù guāng xià , kě bú shì lǐ fán de chǔ shì zhī dào .
之前那具分身,已经随着丛云海,一齐葬送在墨杀手中.极成天尊悬赏之事,可谓是万众瞩目.主动跳出来,站在聚光下,可不是李凡的处世之道.
"But preparations need to be made well in advance."
wèi le bǎo xiǎn qǐ jiàn , lǐ fán jué dìng hái shì zhì zuò yī jù fēn shēn , qù lǐng qǔ jiǎng lì . fǎn zhèng fēn shēn zhī xiǎo le gōng fǎ , yě jiù yì wèi zhe běn zūn zhǎng wò le .
为了保险起见,李凡决定还是至作一具分身,去领取奖励.反正分身知晓了功法,也就意味着本尊掌握了.
The previous incarnation had been destroyed along with Cunyun Sea by Mo Shā. The reward for Supreme Heaven尊 was a matter of great interest; stepping into the limelight wasn't Li Fan's style.
“ tōu tiān huàn rì jué zhì zuò de fēn shēn , yào bǐ běn zūn dī yí gè xiǎo jìng jiè .“
“偷天换日诀至作的分身,要比本尊低一个小境界.“
To ensure safety, he decided to create another incarnation to claim the prize. Since the incarnation would know the cultivation technique, it meant that his main self had mastered it as well.
“ wèi le jiě shì shòu guǒ de lái lì , fēn shēn zuì dī yào shì néng gòu jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng de jīn dān jìng jiè . yě jiù shì shuō , wǒ yào jǐn kuài xiū xíng dào jīn dān zhōng qī .“
“为了解释寿果的来历,分身最低要是能够进入陨仙境的金丹境界.也就是说,我要尽快修行到金丹中期.“
"The Art of Creation Incarnation should be one small realm lower than my own."
“ guāng kào wǒ zì jǐ xiū liàn , yǒu diǎn miǎn qiǎng . xīn de zhuāng jià hái wèi zhòng xià , zhǐ néng xī wàng xiāo héng duō fǎn kuì diǎn xiū wèi le .“
“光靠我自己修炼,有点勉强.新的庄稼还未种下,只能希望萧恒多反馈点修为了.“
"To explain the origin of the Longevity Fruit, this incarnation needs to reach the Golden Core Realm in the Realm of Fallen Stars. Therefore, I need to quickly advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm."
“ sū xiǎo mèi tā men xiāo shī zài cháo yuán zōng yí jì nèi yǐ jīng yǒu yī duàn shí jiān le . suī rán zhè qī jiān tā fǎng fú cóng zhè ge shì jiè shàng xiāo shī le yì bān , yì diǎn xiū wèi dōu méi yǒu huí kuì gěi wǒ . dàn shì wǒ cóng zuò shān jué yǐn yǐn de lián xì zhōng , gǎn yìng dào , sū xiǎo mèi hé zhāng hào bō èr rén hái huó zhe . tā men chū lái hòu , yīng gāi huì dài gěi wǒ diǎn jīng xǐ ba .“
“苏小妹他们消失在朝元宗遗迹内已经有一段时间了.虽然这期间她仿佛从这个世界上消失了一般,一点修为都没有回馈给我.但是我从坐山诀隐隐的联系中,感应到,苏小妹和张浩波二人还活着.他们出来后,应该会带给我点惊喜吧.“
"Relying solely on myself is a bit difficult. New crops haven't been planted yet; I can only hope that Xiao Vaso will contribute some cultivation experience."
méi yǒu bǎ xī wàng quán bù jì tuō zài bié rén shēn shàng , lǐ fán zài duǎn zàn de xiū xī zhī hòu , kāi shǐ le jì xù xiū xíng .
没有把希望全部寄托在别人身上,李凡在短暂的休息之后,开始了继续修行.
"The Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo have been missing in the遗迹of the Originating Heaven Sect for quite some time. Although she seems to have vanished from this world, not returning any cultivation to me, I sense through the subtle connection of the Art of Sitting Mountain that both Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo are still alive. They should bring me a surprise when they return."
shí jiān yī huǎng ér guò . hěn kuài , tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn de zuì zhōng kǎo hé yǐ jīng quán bù jié shù .
时间一晃而过.很快,天玄锁灵阵的最终考核已经全部结束.
Without placing all his hopes on others, Li Fan began his continued cultivation after a brief rest.
chéng jì chū lái hòu , jì hóng dào chuán huà , ràng wài chū de xué yuán quán dōu fǎn huí huán yǔ bié yuàn . zhòng rén zài dù qí jù yī táng , bù miǎn yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng .
成绩出来后,纪宏道传话,让外出的学员全都返回寰宇别院.众人再度齐聚一堂,不免有些紧张.
Time passed quickly. Soon, the final assessment for the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array was over.
jì hóng dào wēi wēi yī xiào , méi yǒu zháo jí xuān bù chéng jì , ér shì xiān jiè shào qǐ le zhī qián suǒ shuō de , kǎo hé jì yōu zhě de jiǎng lì .
纪宏道微微一笑,没有着急宣布成绩,而是先介绍起了之前所说的,考核绩优者的奖励.
After announcing the results, Ji Hong Dao instructed the students to return to the Heavenspan Side Courtyard. The group gathered again, feeling tense.
ná chū yī zhī yù zhì de yuán pán , tā shuō dào :“ zhè jiù shì nà ge ràng wǒ yǎn chán de xiǎo dōng xī le .“
拿出一只玉至的圆盘,他说道:“这就是那个让我眼馋的小东西了.“
Ji Hong Dao smiled slightly and didn't rush to announce the results but instead introduced the rewards for those who performed well in the assessment.
“ huò zhě shuō , suǒ yǒu zhèn fǎ shī zhī xiǎo tā de gōng xiào hòu , dū huì duì tā ài bù shì shǒu .““ dà jiā bù fáng cāi yī xià , tā yǒu hé yòng ?“ lǐ fán zǐ xì dǎ liàng zhe jì hóng dào shǒu zhōng de yù pán , jué de yǒu xiē yǎn shú .
“或者说,所有阵法师知晓它的功效后,都会对它爱不释手.““大家不妨猜一下,它有何用?“李凡仔细打量着纪宏道手中的玉盘,觉得有些眼熟.
He took out a jade plate and said, "This is that little thing I coveted."
xiǎng le xiǎng , hěn kuài fǎn yìng guò lái .
想了想,很快反应过来.
"Or rather, once all array cultivators know its effects, they will be unable to put it down."
zhè dōng xī hé zhī qián céng jīng jiàn dào de “ pò zhèn pán “ yǒu qī fēn xiāng sì .
这东西和之前曾经见到的“破阵盘“有七分相似.
"Everyone, guess what it does?"
suǒ wèi pò zhèn pán , jiù shì yī zhǒng néng gòu zài bù pò huài zhèn fǎ jié gòu de qíng kuàng xià , duì zhèn fǎ jìn xíng gòu chéng fèn xī , cóng ér néng gòu wèi zhèn fǎ shī tí gōng pò zhèn fāng àn cān kǎo de fǎ bǎo .
所谓破阵盘,就是一种能够在不破坏阵法结构的情况下,对阵法进行构成分析,从而能够为阵法师提供破阵方案参考的法宝.
Li Fan carefully examined Ji Hong Dao's jade plate, recognizing something familiar.
“ nán dào shuō , cǐ wù shì pò zhèn pán de jìn jiē bǎn ?“ lǐ fán bù yóu dì zhè me xiǎng dào . xiǎn rán , bù zhǐ lǐ fán yí gè rén zhè me rèn wéi . xǔ xǔ duō duō de xué yuán men mù guāng jǐn dīng zhe yù pán , shén sè xīng fèn .
“难道说,此物是破阵盘的进阶版?“李凡不由地这么想到.显然,不止李凡一个人这么认为.许许多多的学员们目光紧盯着玉盘,神色兴奋.
This item was similar to the previously seen "Breaking Array Plate," which could analyze an array without destroying its structure and provide reference solutions for array cultivators.
“ kàn lái nǐ men yǐ jīng cāi chū lái le , nà wǒ jiù bù mài guān zi le .““ cǐ wù de gōng xiào , dí què gēn pò zhèn pán yǒu xiē lèi sì .“ jì hóng dào fǔ mō zhe yù pán , yǒu xiē gǎn kǎi dào .
“看来你们已经猜出来了,那我就不卖关子了.““此物的功效,的确跟破阵盘有些类似.“纪宏道抚摸着玉盘,有些感慨道.
"Could this be a more advanced version of the Breaking Array Plate?" Li Fan thought. Clearly, not just him had this idea. Many students stared intently at the jade plate with excited expressions.
“ dàn tā què yuǎn bǐ pò zhèn pán yào qiáng dà .““ yuán běn de pò zhèn pán , yī qiān líng bā shí gè zǔ chéng yī tào .“
“但它却远比破阵盘要强大.““原本的破阵盘,一千零八十个组成一套.“
"It seems you've already guessed it; I won't hold back." "The effects of this item are indeed similar to those of the Breaking Array Plate," Ji Hong Dao said as he stroked the jade plate, sounding reflective.
“ dàn zhè xiǎo xiǎo de yù pán , zhǐ tā yí gè , pò jiě zhèn fǎ qǐ lái , què bǐ zhěng tào pò zhèn pán dōu yào kuài shàng shù bèi .“
“但这小小的玉盘,只它一个,破解阵法起来,却比整套破阵盘都要快上数倍.“
"But it is far more powerful than the original Breaking Array Plate."
“ yīn wèi tā jiù shì tiān xuán jìng zuì xīn dàn shēng de cì shēng tǐ zhī yī .““ gòng yǒu jiǔ zhǐ .““ wǒ men bǎ tā men mìng míng wèi [ jiě lí dié ].
“因为它就是天玄镜最新诞生的次生体之一.““共有九只.““我们把它们命名为[解离碟].
"The original Breaking Array Plate consisted of one thousand and eighty components."
"But this small jade plate can break arrays much faster than a full set of the original."
"Because it is one of the secondary bodies born from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror." "There are nine in total." "We named them [Separation Discs]."
"Xu Ke!!"
Sung Yang's panicked and somewhat despondent voice faintly echoed from below. Xu Ke, who had narrowly escaped death, turned his head to look back, ensuring that Sung Yang wouldn't follow.
After a long while with no sign of the other party, he let out a sigh of relief. "Xiao Qing, thank you!" Xu Ke said familiarly to the phoenix bird named Qingluan, gently stroking its neck as it flew. The phoenix chirped softly in response.
Meanwhile, Li Fan had exhausted himself from consecutively using two innate divine powers and was being pursued by enemies. His mind was on high alert, but now that he suddenly relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep. With this sleep, his time limit in the Realm of Fallen Stars came to an end.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself back in the world of cultivation.
Reflecting on the somewhat anticlimactic journey through the Realm of Fallen Stars with the Beast Taming Sect, Li Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"Is that all?"
Unlike his previous incarnation as Li Chen from Purple Heaven Sect, who had a distinct sense of self and could move freely, this time he started off at an extremely low level—just like a newborn bird hatched in an egg.
He accomplished nothing significant, spending most of his days eating and drinking.
Even with two months of rapid growth, his strength gains were limited; he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm as his peak. In the ancient world of cultivation, this was almost at the bottom tier.
If he wanted to do anything meaningful, it would be futile. "Could it be that I need to reveal my true form and move freely?"
"Or..."
Unlike his confused state when possessing the Azure Bird, Li Fan quickly recalled Ye Feipeng, who had cultivated the Art of Creation Furnace with Kua Peng essence blood, activating his Kua Peng lineage.
"Perhaps this Art of Creation Furnace can have a miraculous effect on foreign beasts."
"It's worth trying."
"Hmm..."
"There's no rush. Let's see how things change next time I enter."
Due to the mysterious White Master's presence in Ning Yuan City and the Beast Taming Sect, Li Fan deduced that the scene within the sect was likely similar to that of Ning Yuan City—only by meeting certain conditions could one escape.
He remained trapped in a cycle until he figured out what those conditions were.

By then, he should have completed matters in Tianyu State and be heading to Tianyun State.
"However, perhaps Ji Hong Dao won't let me leave so easily."
According to the original plan, most students from each state would return home after completing their training to oversee the construction of the [Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array].
"But now that Cunyun Sea has vanished, I wonder what my arrangements will be."
"And before leaving Tianyu State, there's one more thing I need to do."
Leaving his seclusion chamber, Li Fan went to the room with the Heavenly Xuan Mirror and searched for information about the reward offered by Supreme Heaven尊.
The opportunity to use the Art of Creation was extremely precious; no one wanted to miss it.
During this period, the already rare and invaluable immortal longevity treasures had seen their prices skyrocket. They were often exchanged only through high-level cultivation techniques or special treasures.
There were whispers that a cultivator had discovered a [Longevity Fruit] in an ancient ruin. It was said that this fruit was created by ancient immortals using the Longevity Seed, capable of extending life by five hundred years.

This fortunate cultivator had already presented the Longevity Fruit to Supreme Heaven尊 and remained hidden within the Heavenly Xuan Mirror's space, waiting for his chance to use the Art of Creation.
"My own Life-Generating Fruit also gained three hundred years." "I wonder if I can rank among the top three."
"Originally, I was confident, but the Xuanhuang Realm is so ancient with many hidden treasures. It's normal for someone to find something more valuable than a Longevity Fruit under such circumstances."
"When the results are revealed, if this world doesn't work out, I can investigate the origins of the top three and plan ahead in my next life.
"But preparations need to be made well in advance."
The previous incarnation had been destroyed along with Cunyun Sea by Mo Shā. The reward for Supreme Heaven尊 was a matter of great interest; stepping into the limelight wasn't Li Fan's style.
To ensure safety, he decided to create another incarnation to claim the prize. Since the incarnation would know the cultivation technique, it meant that his main self had mastered it as well.
"The Art of Creation Incarnation should be one small realm lower than my own."
"To explain the origin of the Longevity Fruit, this incarnation needs to reach the Golden Core Realm in the Realm of Fallen Stars. Therefore, I need to quickly advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm."
"Relying solely on myself is a bit difficult. New crops haven't been planted yet; I can only hope that Xiao Vaso will contribute some cultivation experience."
"The Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo have been missing in the遗迹of the Originating Heaven Sect for quite some time. Although she seems to have vanished from this world, not returning any cultivation to me, I sense through the subtle connection of the Art of Sitting Mountain that both Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo are still alive. They should bring me a surprise when they return."
Without placing all his hopes on others, Li Fan began his continued cultivation after a brief rest.
Time passed quickly. Soon, the final assessment for the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array was over.
After announcing the results, Ji Hong Dao instructed the students to return to the Heavenspan Side Courtyard. The group gathered again, feeling tense.
Ji Hong Dao smiled slightly and didn't rush to announce the results but instead introduced the rewards for those who performed well in the assessment.
He took out a jade plate and said, "This is that little thing I coveted."
"Or rather, once all array cultivators know its effects, they will be unable to put it down."
"Everyone, guess what it does?"
Li Fan carefully examined Ji Hong Dao's jade plate, recognizing something familiar.
This item was similar to the previously seen "Breaking Array Plate," which could analyze an array without destroying its structure and provide reference solutions for array cultivators.
"Could this be a more advanced version of the Breaking Array Plate?" Li Fan thought. Clearly, not just him had this idea. Many students stared intently at the jade plate with excited expressions.
"It seems you've already guessed it; I won't hold back." "The effects of this item are indeed similar to those of the Breaking Array Plate," Ji Hong Dao said as he stroked the jade plate, sounding reflective.
"But it is far more powerful than the original Breaking Array Plate."
"The original Breaking Array Plate consisted of one thousand and eighty components."
"But this small jade plate can break arrays much faster than a full set of the original."
"Because it is one of the secondary bodies born from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror." "There are nine in total." "We named them [Separation Discs]."
