wǎn ruò sān fú tiān hē xià yī wǎn bīng shuǐ ， lǐ fán shēn xīn jù shuǎng 。
宛若三伏天喝下一碗冰水，李凡身心俱爽。
It was as if Li Fan had drunk a bowl of icy water on the hottest day, refreshing his body and mind.
shén hún zài yǐ kě yǐ gǎn zhī dào de sù dù bù duàn zhuàng dà 。
神魂在以可以感知到的速度不断壮大。
His soul seemed to be growing stronger at an accelerated pace that he could perceive.
“ zhēn de kě xíng ！”
“真的可行！”
"Really feasible!"
“ xuán huáng liàn xīn zhòu ， pèi hé shēng sǐ gǎn yìng piān ， guǒ rán yǒu qí xiào ！”
“玄黄炼心咒，配合生死感应篇，果然有奇效！”
"The Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell paired with the Life-Death Sensation Chapter truly has remarkable effects!"
cāi xiǎng chéng zhēn ， lǐ fán dùn shí yǒu xiē xīn xǐ 。
猜想成真，李凡顿时有些欣喜。
Li Fan felt elated as his conjecture came true.
“ zhè yàng yī lái ， wǒ shén hún de qiáng huà sù dù ， kǒng pà huì dá dào yí gè jí wéi kǒng bù de jìng dì 。”
“这样一来，我神魂的强化速度，恐怕会达到一个极为恐怖的境地。”
"Now my soul's enhancement speed might reach a terrifying level."
zhèng dāng lǐ fán yù zài jiē zài lì ， zhòng shì shēng sǐ gǎn yìng piān de shí hòu 。
正当李凡欲再接再厉，重试生死感应篇的时候。
Just as Li Fan was about to intensify his efforts and retry the Life-Death Sensation Chapter, the result deviated from his expectations.
jié guǒ què yǔ tā de yù xiǎng chǎn shēng le piān chā 。
结果却与他的预想产生了偏差。
Perhaps it was due to the lingering shock that had psychologically adapted him.
huò xǔ shì yīn wèi gāng gāng guò dù jīng xià ， chǎn shēng le xīn lǐ shì yìng de yuán gù 。
或许是因为刚刚过渡惊吓，产生了心理适应的缘故。
Even when Tianyi's face was almost touching his own, Li Fan felt no fear at all.
zhè cì nǎ pà shì tiān yī de miàn páng yǐ jīng kuài yào cèng dào lǐ fán de liǎn shàng ， lǐ fán de xīn zhōng què yī rán méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de kǒng jù chǎn shēng 。
这次哪怕是天医的面庞已经快要蹭到李凡的脸上，李凡的心中却依然没有一丝一毫的恐惧产生。
In fact, he occasionally thought, "Forget it, this is good enough. Kill me quickly."
shèn zhì nǎo hǎi zhōng ǒu ěr hái huì shǎn guò le “ suàn le ， jiù zhè yàng ba 。 nòng sǐ wǒ ， gǎn jǐn de ” zhū rú cǐ lèi de xiǎng fǎ 。
甚至脑海中偶尔还会闪过了“算了，就这样吧。弄死我，赶紧的”诸如此类的想法。
"Without fear in one's heart, how can death be a deterrent?"
“ xīn ruò bù jù ， nài hé yǐ sǐ jù zhī ？”
“心若不惧，奈何以死惧之？”
Li Fan realized something and shook his head before stopping the practice.
lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ wù ， yáo yáo tóu ， tíng zhǐ le xiū liàn 。
李凡若有所悟，摇摇头，停止了修炼。
"At least I now understand why Master Zhong Shentong took his life. It seems this Life-Death Profound Art really does have an impact."
“ zǒng suàn zhī dào zhōng shén tōng wèi hé huì qīng shēng le 。 kàn lái hái zhēn shì zhè shēng sǐ xuán gōng de yǐng xiǎng 。”
“总算知道钟神通为何会轻生了。看来还真是这生死玄功的影响。”
"Though it has flaws, abandoning this method of cultivation paired with the Refining Heart Spell would be a pity."
“ bù guò suī rán yǒu quē diǎn ， zhè hé liàn xīn zhòu dā pèi xiū xíng de fǎ mén ， ruò shì fàng qì yě pǒ wèi kě xī 。”
“不过虽然有缺点，这和炼心咒搭配修行的法门，若是放弃也颇为可惜。”

"After all, completing a full reverse practice of one's heart is quite troublesome."
“ bì jìng xiǎng yào wán chéng yī cì wán zhěng de nì liàn dào xīn ， hái shì pǒ wèi má fán de 。”
“毕竟想要完成一次完整的逆练道心，还是颇为麻烦的。”
"The feedback from the Life-Death Sensation Chapter is almost immediate."
“ jiè zhù zhè shēng sǐ gǎn yìng piān ， fǎn kuì jī hū jiù shì lì gān jiàn yǐng 。”
“借助这生死感应篇，反馈几乎就是立竿见影。”
"And both can be used in tandem."
“ ér qiě kě yǐ liǎng zhě jié hé ， tóng shí shǐ yòng 。”
“而且可以两者结合，同时使用。”
"Once I adapt to this world, I'll try practicing again and see how effective it is."
“ cǐ shì děng shì yìng qī guò hòu ， zài cháng shì xiū liàn yī cì ， kàn kàn xiào guǒ rú hé 。”
“此世等适应期过后，再尝试修炼一次，看看效果如何。”
"In my next life, perhaps I could use the Derivation Jewel to complete The Life-Death Profound Art."
“ xià yī shì ， huò xǔ kě yǐ tōng guò yǎn fǎ jué jiāng 《 shēng sǐ xuán gōng 》 bǔ quán 。”
“下一世，或许可以通过衍法珏将《生死玄功》补全。”
To him, the flaws of a cultivation technique were not an issue. As long as there was something beneficial, he would incorporate it.
duì tā ér yán ， gōng fǎ de quē diǎn gēn běn bú shì wèn tí 。
对他而言，功法的缺点根本不是问题。
Perhaps when he had collected enough techniques, he could derive a truly unique and personal 'Heavenly Net Divine Skill' using the Derivation Jewel.
zhǐ yào néng yǒu kě qǔ zhī chù ， dōu kě shōu wèi jǐ yòng 。
只要能有可取之处，都可收为己用。
...
huò xǔ ， dāng tā shōu jí dào zú gòu duō de gōng fǎ hòu ， jiù néng kào yǎn fǎ jué ， tuī yǎn chū yī mén zhǐ shǔ yú tā zì jǐ 、 zhēn zhèng yì yì shàng de 《 tiān luó shén gōng 》。
或许，当他收集到足够多的功法后，就能靠衍法珏，推衍出一门只属于他自己、真正意义上的《天罗神功》。
Master Zhong Shentong's sudden visit made Li Fan, known for his diligence, take a rare break from his seclusion.
……
……
The other cultivators of the Jia Xu ship did not mind this at all. They actually hoped Li Fan would rest longer.
zhōng shén tōng tū wù de bài fǎng ， ràng yí xiàng yǐ qín miǎn zhe chēng de lǐ dà shī ， hǎn jiàn de bì guān xiū xī le jǐ rì 。
钟神通突兀的拜访，让一向以勤勉着称的李大师，罕见的闭关休息了几日。
If he were to die from overwork on duty, they might be mocked forever by others.
jiǎ xū hào zhòng xiū shì què dōu méi yǒu shén me yì jiàn 。
甲戌号众修士却都没有什么意见。
However, their hopes were in vain. After emerging from his seclusion, Li Fan immediately resumed work on constructing the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array without any breaks.
tā men hái bā bù dé lǐ fán néng duō xiē xī yī duàn shí jiān ne 。
他们还巴不得李凡能多歇息一段时间呢。
...
ruò shì lǐ fán zhēn de yīn láo lèi cù sǐ zài gǎng wèi shàng ， nà me tā men zhè xiē rén ， kǒng pà yào bèi rén chuō jǐ liáng gǔ yī bèi zi 。
若是李凡真的因劳累猝死在岗位上，那么他们这些人，恐怕要被人戳嵴梁骨一辈子。
Once the outer array structure was locked and combined with other array masters like Xue Mu, Li Fan volunteered to start building the internal arrays towards the center.
bù guò ， zhòng xiū shì de qī pàn zhù dìng yào luò kōng le 。
不过，众修士的期盼注定要落空了。
His relentless effort left everyone else feeling ashamed. They could only follow suit and work tirelessly.
dāng lǐ fán cóng bì guān mì shì zhōng zǒu chū lái zhī hòu ， mǎ bù tíng tí de yòu kāi shǐ le jiàn zào tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn de gōng zuò 。
当李凡从闭关密室中走出来之后，马不停蹄的又开始了建造天玄锁灵阵的工作。
By Anchor Year 35, Li Fan, while intently constructing an array unit, suddenly failed for the first time in his career.
bìng qiě ， zhè cì kāi shǐ zhī hòu ， jiù méi yǒu le piàn kè de tíng xiē 。
并且，这次开始之后，就没有了片刻的停歇。
Surprised cultivators around him looked at Li Fan with confusion. This was unprecedented since they followed him.
dāng suǒ dìng zhèn wài wéi zhèn fǎ jié gòu hé lǒng ， hé xuē mù děng qí tā zhèn fǎ shī huì hé zhī hòu 。
当锁定阵外围阵法结构合拢，和薛幕等其他阵法师汇合之后。
After all, Master Li was renowned for his precise and efficient array construction. He ranked among the top ten in the Grand Competition Golden List. Many array masters even traveled great distances to observe him, feeling inferior.
lǐ fán zhǔ dòng qǐng yīng ， shuài xiān kāi shǐ cháo zhe zhōng xīn wèi zhì ， xiū jiàn nèi bù fǎ zhèn 。
李凡主动请缨，率先开始朝着中心位置，修建内部法阵。
Could it be that years of hard work had finally taken a toll on his body?
zhè gǔ bú yào mìng de pīn jǐn ， ràng xuē mù děng rén xiū kuì bù yǐ 。
这股不要命的拼尽，让薛幕等人羞愧不已。
Everyone exchanged glances with concern. However, the continuous flow of spiritual energy emanating from Li Fan made them overjoyed.
yě zhǐ dé gēn zài hòu miàn ， wàng wǒ gōng zuò qǐ lái 。
也只得跟在后面，忘我工作起来。
"Master Li, you've advanced in cultivation?" He Cheng couldn't help but ask.
jiù zhè yàng ， shí jiān lái dào le máo dìng 35 nián 。
就这样，时间来到了锚定35年。
Li Fan calmed down and nodded slightly as he absorbed the overwhelming feedback.
zhè yī tiān ， zhèng zài jù jīng huì shén dì jiàn zào zhèn fǎ dān yuán de lǐ fán ， hū de shǒu yī dǒu ， jū rán jí qí hǎn jiàn de bù zhèn shī bài le 。
这一天，正在聚精会神地建造阵法单元的李凡，忽的手一抖，居然极其罕见的布阵失败了。
Seeing Master Li admit it, everyone's expressions were strange.
shēn páng hù wèi de xiū shì ， quán dōu shì yǒu xiē chà yì de kàn zhe lǐ fán 。
身旁护卫的修士，全都是有些诧异的看着李凡。
Despite years of hard work with little time for cultivation, nearing the end of his lifespan, how could he still make progress?
zhè kě shì zì cóng tā men gēn suí lǐ fán yǐ lái ， cóng wèi fā shēng guò de shì qíng 。
这可是自从他们跟随李凡以来，从未发生过的事情。
This completely overturned their understanding.
yào zhī dào ， zhè wèi lǐ dà shī ， zhèng shì yǐ bù zhèn de gāo xiào yǐ jí jīng què ér wén míng 。
要知道，这位李大师，正是以布阵的高效以及精确而闻名。
Was this what people meant by good fortune brings its own blessings?
zài dà bǐ jīn bǎng zhōng ， rú jīn yǐ jīng shì pái míng qián shí de cún zài 。
在大比金榜中，如今已经是排名前十的存在。
Li Fan was too busy to care about the thoughts of those around him. He was trying to use the Formless Killing Mechanism to check on Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo's situation.
xǔ duō zhèn fǎ shī shèn zhì bù yuǎn wàn lǐ qián lái guān mó hòu ， fā chū zì kuì fú rú de gǎn kǎi 。
许多阵法师甚至不远万里前来观摩后，发出自愧弗如的感慨。
The feedback from their disappearance for nearly a decade had significantly boosted his cultivation progress.
nán bù chéng ， shì cháng nián de láo lèi ， shēn tǐ zhōng yú yào kuǎ le ？
难不成，是常年的劳累，身体终于要垮了？
"They seemed to have completely vanished from this world, with no signs of feedback."
zhòng rén hù xiāng duì shì yī yǎn ， mǎn shì dān yōu 。
众人互相对视一眼，满是担忧。
"Ten years later, they gave me quite a surprise."
bù guò piàn kè zhī hòu ， cóng lǐ fán shēn shàng chuán lái de zhèn zhèn líng qì bō dòng ， què shì ràng tā men xǐ chū wàng wài 。
不过片刻之后，从李凡身上传来的阵阵灵气波动，却是让他们喜出望外。
This was the largest investment in Li Fan’s cultivation since he started practicing The Sitting Mountain Technique. It far exceeded what even a Golden Core cultivator could provide.
“ lǐ dà shī ， nǐ zhè shì xiū wèi tí shēng ， gèng jìn yí bù le ？” hé chēn rěn bú zhù wèn dào 。
“李大师，你这是修为提升，更进一步了？”何琛忍不住问道。
Li Fan estimated that Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo had likely entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.
lǐ fán zé shì píng xī tǐ nèi tū rán yǒng xiàn 、 yuán yuán bù jué de fǎn kuì xiū wèi ， wēi wēi diǎn tóu 。
李凡则是平息体内突然涌现、源源不绝的反馈修为，微微点头。
"Interesting. Even with their talent, advancing from Foundation Establishment Great Perfection to the Immortal Infant Realm in just ten years is too exaggerated."
kàn dào lǐ fán qīn zì chéng rèn ， hé chēn děng rén jù shì shén sè mò míng 。
看到李凡亲自承认，何琛等人俱是神色莫名。
"Moreover, where did their techniques and dao caves come from?"
zài rú cǐ jiān kǔ de huán jìng xià láo zuò ， shù nián lái jī hū méi yǒu xiū xíng 。
在如此艰苦的环境下劳作，数年来几乎没有修行。
...
běn shēn yě shì shòu yuán jiāng jǐn de qíng kuàng 。
本身也是寿元将尽的情况。
"It seems they've gained a lot from the Dao Yuan Sect."
zhǒng zhǒng bù lì yīn sù dié jiā ， lǐ dà shī jū rán hái néng yǒu suǒ tū pò ？
种种不利因素叠加，李大师居然还能有所突破？
Due to being deep within the white fog and far away from Jiushan Province, even with the Ghostly Spirit Array left for them, it was hard to sense any images.
zhè wán quán diān fù le tā men de rèn zhī 。
这完全颠覆了他们的认知。
However, the long-abandoned White Bone Vanguard Realm welcomed guests once again.
mò fēi ， zhè jiù shì chuán shuō zhōng de jí rén zì yǒu tiān xiàng ？
莫非，这就是传说中的吉人自有天相？
As the owner of the White Bone Vanguard Realm, Li Fan sensed something.
lǐ fán zé shì méi kòng qù guǎn shēn biān xiū shì de xiǎng fǎ 。
李凡则是没空去管身边修士的想法。
He signaled everyone to rest temporarily and returned to the Jia Xu ship's base, entering a secret room where he performed a ritual.
tā zhèng zài shì tú tōng guò wú xiāng shā jī ， chá kàn sū xiǎo mèi hé zhāng hào bō nà biān de qíng kuàng 。
他正在试图通过无相杀机，查看苏小妹和张浩波那边的情况。
Once inside, there were no signs of visitors in the Vanguard Realm.
yīn wèi zhè ràng tā xiū liàn jìn dù bào zhǎng yī dà jié fǎn kuì xiū wèi ， zhèng shì lái zì xiāo shī zài cháo yuán zōng yí jì yǐ jīng jìn shí nián de èr rén 。
因为这让他修炼进度暴涨一大截反馈修为，正是来自消失在朝元宗遗迹已经近十年的二人。
However, according to residual energy traces, it was undoubtedly Su Xiaomei who had come.
“ zhè shí nián jiān ， tā men fǎng fú wán quán xiāo shī zài zhè ge shì jiè zhōng yī yàng 。 yī dīng diǎn de fǎn kuì dōu méi yǒu 。”
“这十年间，他们仿佛完全消失在这个世界中一样。一丁点的反馈都没有。”
Li Fan scanned around and quickly noticed a pile of peculiar objects placed where the "ancestral skull" was supposed to rest.
“ shí nián hòu yī chū xiàn ， jiù gěi le wǒ gè dà dà de jīng xǐ 。”
“十年后一出现，就给了我个大大的惊喜。”
Recalling his previous instructions, Li Fan's heart skipped a beat.
zhè shì lǐ fán xiū xíng 《 zuò shān jué 》 yǐ lái ， shōu huò zuì dà de yī bǐ tóu zī 。
这是李凡修行《坐山诀》以来，收获最大的一笔投资。
He flew forward, grabbed one item, and examined it carefully.
yuǎn chāo jīn dān xiū shì suǒ néng dài lái de fǎn kuì jí xiàn 。
远超金丹修士所能带来的反馈极限。
"Discovery: rechargeable item. Should I absorb?"
lǐ fán gū jì ， sū xiǎo mèi hé zhāng hào bō kǒng pà yǐ jīng shuāng shuāng bù rù yuán yīng jìng le 。
李凡估计，苏小妹和张浩波恐怕已经双双步入元婴境了。
The "Really?" prompt appeared as Li Fan chose to absorb it. The anchor charge progress fluctuated slightly but did not change.
“ yǒu qù 。 jí biàn yǐ tā men de tiān fù ， shí nián nèi cóng zhù jī yuán mǎn ， xiū liàn dào yuán yīng jìng jiè 。 yě wèi miǎn tài guò kuā zhāng le 。”
“有趣。即便以他们的天赋，十年内从筑基圆满，修炼到元婴境界。也未免太过夸张了。”
"Divine treasures from the heavens?"
“ kuàng qiě ， gōng fǎ 、 dòng tiān ， yòu shì cóng hé ér lái ？”
“况且，功法、洞天，又是从何而来？”
Li Fan looked at this pair of broken objects with a strange expression.
“ kàn lái tā men zài zhè cháo yuán zōng ， hái zhēn shì shōu huò bù xiǎo a 。”
“看来他们在这朝元宗，还真是收获不小啊。”
"They are all divine treasures that have been excreted by cultivators after death."
huò xǔ shì yīn wèi shēn chù bái wù zhī zhōng ， gēn jiǔ shān zhōu jù lí tài guò yáo yuǎn de yuán gù 。
或许是因为深处白雾之中，跟九山州距离太过遥远的缘故。
And in quantity...
nǎ pà jiè zhù dāng chū liú gěi tā men de tōng líng jīng shén zhèn ， yī shí bàn huì yě gǎn yìng bú dào nà biān de huà miàn 。
哪怕借助当初留给他们的通灵惊神阵，一时半会也感应不到那边的画面。
Li Fan counted and felt his heart race.
fǎn ér ， xǔ jiǔ méi yǒu rén jìn rù de bái gǔ xiān qiǎn jìng zhōng ， què shì jiǔ wéi de yíng lái le kè rén 。
反而，许久没有人进入的白骨先遣境中，却是久违的迎来了客人。
3,762 pieces.
zuò wéi bái gǔ xiān qiǎn jìng de zhǔ rén ， lǐ fán xīn yǒu suǒ gǎn 。
作为白骨先遣境的主人，李凡心有所感。
Clearly, these were obtained by Su Xiaomei from the Dao Yuan Sect's ruins.
dāng xià shì yì zhòng rén zàn shí xiū xī ， huí dào jiǎ xū hào jù diǎn nèi ， lái dào mì shì zhōng ， shī zhǎn yí shì 。
当下示意众人暂时休息，回到甲戌号据点内，来到密室中，施展仪式。
Li Fan picked up another piece to examine it closely. Unlike historical relics, they seemed freshly taken from dead cultivators, still emitting a strong scent of blood.
děng tā jìn rù hòu ， xiān qiǎn jìng zhōng yǐ jīng méi le lái kè de zōng jì 。
等他进入后，先遣境中已经没了来客的踪迹。
"Techniques, dao caves, so many divine treasures..."
bù guò gēn jù cán cún de qì xī lái kàn ， lái zhě yīng dāng shì sū xiǎo mèi wú wù 。
不过根据残存的气息来看，来者应当是苏小妹无误。
"What happened in the Dao Yuan Sect ruins to Su Xiaomei and Shuofeng?"
lǐ fán sǎo shì yī quān ， hěn kuài jiù zhù yì dào le ， zài shè dìng de “ tóu gǔ ” qián bèi xiū mián de dì fāng 。
李凡扫视一圈，很快就注意到了，在设定的“头骨”前辈休眠的地方。
Despite his myriad questions, Li Fan did not delay absorbing the divine treasures.
bǎi fàng zhe yī duī qí xíng guài zhuàng de wù jiàn 。
摆放着一堆奇形怪状的物件。
After absorbing thirteen items, the anchor charge progress finally fluctuated from 2% to 3%.
It was as if Li Fan had drunk a bowl of icy water on the hottest day, refreshing his body and mind.
His soul seemed to be growing stronger at an accelerated pace that he could perceive.
"Really feasible!"
"The Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell paired with the Life-Death Sensation Chapter truly has remarkable effects!"
Li Fan felt elated as his conjecture came true.
"Now my soul's enhancement speed might reach a terrifying level."
Just as Li Fan was about to intensify his efforts and retry the Life-Death Sensation Chapter, the result deviated from his expectations.
Perhaps it was due to the lingering shock that had psychologically adapted him.

In fact, he occasionally thought, "Forget it, this is good enough. Kill me quickly."
"Without fear in one's heart, how can death be a deterrent?"
Li Fan realized something and shook his head before stopping the practice.
"At least I now understand why Master Zhong Shentong took his life. It seems this Life-Death Profound Art really does have an impact."
