“ cǐ shí què shì bù jí 。 děng huà xū huí dào jiě lí shān diān ， děng dài hái zhēn chōng néng wán bì de jiǔ nián nèi ， zhèng hǎo qù zuò cǐ shì 。”
“此时却是不急。等化虚回到解离山巅，等待还真充能完毕的九年内，正好去做此事。”
"Right now, there's no rush. By the time Hua Xu returns to Xielie Mountain Peak and the Nine Years of True Real Technique recharge is complete, I can focus on this matter."
“ zhì yú nà pán jù zài yuán dào zhōu shàng kōng de 【 tā 】 dào dǐ shì shén me ， huò xǔ zhǐ yǒu děng rì hòu chéng jiù cháng shēng tiān zūn le ， kǒng pà cái néng yī tàn jiū jìng le 。”
“至于那盘踞在源道州上空的【它】到底是什么，或许只有等日后成就长生天尊了，恐怕才能一探究竟了。”
"As for what that entity hovering over Source Dao State truly is, perhaps only after achieving the Longevity Heaven Sovereign will I be able to uncover its true nature."
“ zài cǐ zhī qián ， rào zhe tā zǒu jiù xíng 。”
“在此之前，绕着它走就行。”
"Until then, just keep circling it."
yī zhuāng xīn shì zàn qiě liǎo jié 。
一桩心事暂且了结。
With one worry resolved, Li Fan prepared himself as the world was about to end. He reviewed his current state.
cǐ shì jí jiāng zhōng jié zhī jì ， lǐ fán zhěng lǐ qǐ le mù qián de zì shēn zhuàng kuàng 。
此世即将终结之际，李凡整理起了目前的自身状况。
Over a decade of continuous array setting, with the secret technique [Hua Dao Shen Yi], Li Fan had not neglected other matters either.
zài shí duō nián de bù jiàn xiē de bù zhèn rì zi lǐ ， yǒu zhe 【 huà dào shén yī 】 mì shù de lǐ fán ， duì yú qí tā shì qíng yě méi yǒu là xià 。
在十多年的不间歇的布阵日子里，有着【化道神一】秘术的李凡，对于其他事情也没有落下。
Finally, he finished reading The Celestial Medical Scripture in its entirety.
《 tiān yī xiān jīng 》 zhōng yú bèi tā wán zhěng dú wán 。
《天医仙经》终于被他完整读完。
From this grand tome, Li Fan could vaguely understand some of the celestial physician's thoughts.
cóng zhè běn huáng huáng jù zhù zhōng ， lǐ fán yě néng yǐn yuē yī kuī tiān yī de sī xiǎng 。
从这本煌煌巨著中，李凡也能隐约一窥天医的思想。
The celestial physician believed that all things in the world were curable—stones, plants, birds and beasts, humans, mountains, rivers, seas, even the world itself. In front of a true "physician," there was no essential difference.
tiān yī rèn wéi ， shì jiān wàn wù jiē kě yī 。
天医认为，世间万物皆可医。
A physician progresses from small to large, summarizing their progress continuously. With persistence, one can transform from curing people to curing heaven.
shí tou cǎo mù ， fēi niǎo zǒu shòu ， rén 、 shān chuān hú hǎi ， nǎi zhì shì jiè běn shēn 。
石头草木，飞鸟走兽，人、山川湖海，乃至世界本身。
Although The Celestial Medical Scripture did not mention cultivation methods, many profound secrets seemed hidden between the lines.
zài zhēn zhèng de “ yī zhě ” miàn qián ， dōu méi yǒu běn zhì dì qū bié 。
在真正的“医者”面前，都没有本质的区别。
"Unfortunately, my innate talent is still lacking. If I were a true genius, I might be able to deduce a technique from it."
xíng yī zhě ， yóu xiǎo jí dà ， zǒng jié jìn bù 。
行医者，由小及大，总结进步。
"Perhaps I could borrow chickens to lay eggs."
chí zhī yǐ héng ， jiù néng wán chéng cóng yī rén dào yī tiān de tuì biàn 。
持之以恒，就能完成从医人到医天的蜕变。
Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he flashed through the idea of using this method but quickly suppressed it.
《 tiān yī xiān jīng 》 zhōng suī rán méi yǒu bàn jù tí jí xiū xíng de fāng fǎ ， dàn shì zài zì lǐ háng jiān ， sì hū yòu àn cáng zhe zhū duō xuán ào zhī chù 。
《天医仙经》中虽然没有半句提及修行的方法，但是在字里行间，似乎又暗藏着诸多玄奥之处。
"I'll pass on that. The risk is too high."
“ kě xī wǒ tiān fù hái chà nà me yī xiē 。 ruò shì zhēn zhèng de tiān cái ， wèi bì bù néng cóng zhōng wù chū yī mén gōng fǎ 。”
“可惜我天赋还差那么一些。若是真正的天才，未必不能从中悟出一门功法。”
"The celestial physician is mysterious and unpredictable. If he discovers that The Celestial Medical Scripture exists, who knows what kind of changes might occur?"
“ huò xǔ kě yǐ jiè jī shēng dàn 。”
“或许可以借鸡生蛋。”
"Reading it myself would just take more time."
lǐ fán yǎn jīng wēi mī ， nǎo hǎi zhōng dà nàn de niàn tou yī shǎn ér guò 。
李凡眼睛微眯，脑海中大难的念头一闪而过。
Combining his understanding from The Celestial Medical Scripture about living beings, Li Fan continued refining and perfecting The Art of Creation and Transformation.
xuán jí ， yòu bèi tā yā xià 。
旋即，又被他压下。
"The Eternal Remembrance of Heavenly Yang True Person still has one last chance. I don't have much confidence in success now, but I'll try it when my lifespan ends."
“ suàn le ， fēng xiǎn hái shì tài gāo 。”
“算了，风险还是太高。”
"I've gradually grasped the essence of Zhang Ziliang's Infinite Technique over these years. My array techniques have improved dramatically through constant practice. Theoretical knowledge combined with practical application—ordinary Foundation Establishment realm array mages can't match me."
“ tiān yī cǐ rén shén mì mò cè ， ruò shì bèi tā chá jué dào shì jiān yǒu 《 tiān yī xiān jīng 》 chuán shì ， zhǐ bù dìng huì yǐn qǐ shén me yàng de yì biàn 。”
“天医此人神秘莫测，若是被他察觉到世间有《天医仙经》传世，指不定会引起什么样的异变。”
"And there are Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell and The Life-Death Profound Art. Together, they can rapidly increase spiritual strength. Although I'm still recovering from my last attempt, time is not a scarce resource for me."
“ wǒ zì jǐ yán dú ， yě jiù shì duō hào diǎn shí jiān bà le 。”
“我自己研读，也就是多耗点时间罢了。”
...
jié hé tiān yī xiān jīng zhōng duì yú shēng líng de rèn zhī ， lǐ fán yě zài bù duàn duì 《 zào huà hōng lú gōng 》 jìn xíng xiū gǎi hé wán shàn 。
结合天医仙经中对于生灵的认知，李凡也在不断对《造化烘炉功》进行修改和完善。
In his mind's eye, blue crystals emitted a deep blue light.
“ tiān yáng zhēn rén de 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】， hái yǒu zuì hòu yī cì shǐ yòng jī huì 。 mù qián méi yǒu tài duō de bǎ wò gōng lüè chéng gōng ， děng dào shòu jǐn shí fēn ， zài zuì hòu yī shì ba 。”
“天阳真人的【永恒遗念】，还有最后一次使用机会。目前没有太多的把握攻略成功，等到寿尽时分，再最后一试吧。”
With the aid of secret techniques, Li Fan's knowledge was organized and clear.
“ zhāng zhì liáng de 【 wú xiàn fǎ 】， zhè xiē nián wǒ yě jiàn dé qí jīng suǐ 。 bù tíng de bù zhèn zhōng ， wǒ de zhèn dào shuǐ píng kě wèi tū fēi měng jìn 。 lǐ lùn lián hé shí jì ， rú jīn xún cháng yuán yīng zhèn fǎ shī ， shuǐ píng yě wèi bì gǎn de shàng wǒ 。”
“张志良的【无限法】，这些年我也渐得其精髓。不停的布阵中，我的阵道水平可谓突飞猛进。理论联合实际，如今寻常元婴阵法师，水平也未必赶得上我。”
"Besides these mastered skills, there are two other things that can greatly benefit me."
“ hái yǒu xuán huáng liàn xīn zhòu yǐ jí 《 shēng sǐ xuán gōng 》， liǎng xiāng pèi hé ， néng gòu kuài sù zēng jiā shén hún qiáng dù 。 suī rán zì cóng shàng cì chū shì zhī hòu ， réng rán hái chù zài huī fù qǐ 。 bù guò duì yú wǒ lái jiǎng ， zuì bù quē de jiù shì shí jiān le 。”
“还有玄黄炼心咒以及《生死玄功》，两相配合，能够快速增加神魂强度。虽然自从上次初试之后，仍然还处在恢复起。不过对于我来讲，最不缺的就是时间了。”
Li Fan wrote the word "chaos" in the air with his hand. An unusual energy seemed to converge towards it.
……
……
He closely observed the changes but ultimately failed to form the character fully.
shí hǎi zhōng lán sè jīng tǐ fā chū zhàn zhàn lán guāng 。
识海中蓝色晶体发出湛湛蓝光。
After a moment, it dissipated without leaving any trace.
shén tōng mì shù jiā chí xià ， lǐ fán suǒ xué suī duō ， dàn què bù luàn 。
神通秘术加持下，李凡所学虽多，但却不乱。
"Chaos..."
“ chú le zhè xiē yǐ jīng zhǎng wò de ， hái yǒu liǎng yàng shì wù ， duì wǒ tóng yàng yǒu dà yòng 。”
“除了这些已经掌握的，还有两样事物，对我同样有大用。”
With a flick of his wrist, he cast a Five Elements Annihilation Sword to erase its lingering aura and fell into deep thought.
niàn jí cǐ chù ， lǐ fán yǐ shǒu wèi bǐ ， zài qián fāng xū kōng yī qì hē chéng ， xiě xià le yí gè “ luàn ” zì 。
念及此处，李凡以手为笔，在前方虚空一气呵成，写下了一个“乱”字。
This "chaos" was similar to the one in the new maze Li Fan had been trapped in. By imitating this character, he opened the maze's passage and escaped.
sì hū yǒu bù xún cháng de néng liàng zài cháo zhuó bǐ jì huì jù 。
似乎有不寻常的能量在朝着笔迹汇聚。
But afterward, Li Fan always felt that this "chaos" was not just a simple switch.
lǐ fán jǐn jǐn dīng zhe qí zhōng fā shēng de biàn huà 。
李凡紧紧盯着其中发生的变化。
The strange transformation at the maze center seemed closely related.
kě xī sì hū lǐng wù bù gòu ， luàn zì zuì zhōng méi néng zhēn zhèng chéng xíng 。
可惜似乎领悟不够，乱字最终没能真正成型。
"If I could master it..."
jiān chí le piàn kè hòu ， biàn yān xiāo yún sàn ， wú sī háo hén jì liú xià 。
坚持了片刻后，便烟消云散，无丝毫痕迹留下。
"Perhaps being able to recreate this 'chaos' would yield a divine technique no less powerful than my Five Elements Annihilation Sword."
“ luàn ……”
“乱……”
Apart from the chaos character, there were also recent observations of the Five Elements Convergence and Great Explosion, as well as the scene in the Heaven Xuan Locking Spirit Array "reverse five elements convergence."
suí shǒu huī chū yī dào wǔ xíng jì miè jiàn ， jiāng qí cán cún de qì xī mǒ chú ， lǐ fán xiàn rù le chén sī 。
随手挥出一道五行寂灭剑，将其残存的气息抹除，李凡陷入了沉思。
"My current Five Elements Annihilation Sword only uses the Five Elements' mutual generation as its power source."
zhè ge “ luàn ” zì ， zhèng shì mó fǎng zì zhī qián lǐ fán bèi kùn de nà chù xīn shēng mí yù zhōng de “ luàn ” zì shí 。
这个“乱”字，正是模仿自之前李凡被困的那处新生迷域中的“乱”字石。
"But actually, the flow of the Five Elements can generate immense destructive force on their own."
kào zhe lín mó luàn zì ， lǐ fán cái néng dǎ kāi mí yù tōng dào ， táo chū shēng tiān 。
靠着临摹乱字，李凡才能打开迷域通道，逃出生天。
"Perhaps I could combine this all-consuming force to refine a new version of the Five Elements Annihilation Sword."
dàn shì hòu ， lǐ fán què shǐ zhōng jué de ， zhè “ luàn ” zì jué bú shì dān chún de tōng dào kāi guān nà me jiǎn dān 。
但事后，李凡却始终觉得，这“乱”字绝不是单纯的通道开关那么简单。
Li Fan pondered the five elements within his dantian, gradually falling into deep thought.
mí yù zhōng xīn nà zhǒng guǐ yì de yì huà chǎng miàn ， yǎn rán gēn tā tuō bù liǎo guān xì 。
迷域中心那种诡异的异化场面，俨然跟它脱不了关系。
...
“ ruò néng jiāng qí lǐng wù ， bù ……”
“若能将其领悟，不……”
In the realm of Xuanhuang where techniques cannot be practiced simultaneously, there were no mentors or friends. All cultivation knowledge was invaluable wealth that required corresponding sacrifices to obtain. The true secrets were deeply hidden and could not be seen.
“ kǒng pà zhǐ yào néng bǎ zhè ‘ luàn ’ zì fù xiàn ， yě shì yī mén bù xùn sè yú wǒ dà wǔ xíng jì miè jiàn de shén tōng 。”
“恐怕只要能把这‘乱’字复现，也是一门不逊色于我大五行寂灭剑的神通。”
In such a world of cultivators, Li Fan had to explore on his own to gain power far beyond others.
chú le luàn zì zhī wài 。
除了乱字之外。
Unfortunately, secular matters were still unresolved. Two days later, he was summoned by Qi Bu Yi.
hái yǒu bù jiǔ qián guān mó dào de wǔ xíng guī yī 、 dà bào zhà huǐ miè yī qiè ， yǐ jí tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn “ nì wǔ xíng guī yī ” de chǎng miàn 。
还有不久前观摩到的五行归一、大爆炸毁灭一切，以及天玄锁灵阵“逆五行归一”的场面。
First, she inquired about his recovery, then asked him to go to the Thousand Star Villa.
“ mù qián wǒ de wǔ xíng jì miè jiàn ， zhǐ shì dān chún de bǎ wǔ xíng xiāng shēng dàng zuò dòng lì 。”
“目前我的五行寂灭剑，只是单纯的把五行相生当做动力。”
Li Fan did not interrupt his meditation process but sent a portion of his consciousness to proceed.
“ dàn shí jì shàng ， wǔ xíng liú zhuǎn ， zì shēn biàn kě chǎn shēng mò dà de pò huài lì 。”
“但实际上，五行流转，自身便可产生莫大的破坏力。”
"From now on, you don't need to work so hard. Just follow those responsible for inspection."
“ huò xǔ kě yǐ jié hé zhè gǔ pò miè yī qiè de lì liàng ， gǎi liáng chū xīn yī bǎn de dà wǔ xíng jì miè jiàn 。”
“或许可以结合这股破灭一切的力量，改良出新一版的大五行寂灭剑。”
"Just keep up with Huafu Song; we're familiar with each other," Qi Bu Yi said with a smile.
lǐ fán gǎn wù zhe dān tián nèi de wǔ xíng zhī lì ， jiàn jiàn xiàn rù le chén sī 。
李凡感悟着丹田内的五行之力，渐渐陷入了沉思。
"You can still earn points without building the array, maintaining your second place ranking."
……
……
"As usual, this position would not be given to you, but if it's you, others won't object," she said, handing over another Supervision Record.
fǎ bù kě tóng xiū de xuán huáng jiè ， méi yǒu le liáng shī yì yǒu de cún zài 。
法不可同修的玄黄界，没有了良师益友的存在。
The previous records and escape pods had been handed in when they left the Five Elements Heavenly Realm. This one was different—no information on resources, only a rough map of Xuanhuang State.
suǒ yǒu xiū xíng zhī shí jiē shì zhēn xī wú bǐ de cái fù ， xiǎng yào huò dé ， jiù yào fù chū xiāng yìng de dài jià 。
所有修行知识皆是珍惜无比的财富，想要获得，就要付出相应的代价。
It resembled the condensed images seen in the long-distance transmission array space.
ér nà xiē zhēn zhèng de bù chuán zhī mì ， gèng shì shēn cáng yú gāo gé zhī zhōng ， wú fǎ dé jiàn 。
而那些真正的不传之秘，更是深藏于高阁之中，无法得见。
"Details about your work and colleagues can be checked through this record."
zhè yàng de xiū xiān jiè ， lǐ fán xiǎng yào huò dé yuǎn chāo tā rén de lì liàng ， dōu yào kào zì jǐ màn màn mō suǒ 。
这样的修仙界，李凡想要获得远超他人的力量，都要靠自己慢慢摸索。
Qi Bu Yi continued explaining diligently.
kě xī shì sú zhī shì shàng wèi wán jié ， jǐn jǐn liǎng tiān zhī hòu ， lǐ fán jiù bèi chuán xùn gěi jīng xǐng le 。
可惜世俗之事尚未完结，仅仅两天之后，李凡就被传讯给惊醒了。
Most of Li Fan's mind was absorbed in his divine technique meditation, appearing somewhat dazed as he nodded.
yuán lái shì qī bù yì fā lái de xùn xī 。
原来是戚不弈发来的讯息。
Qi Bu Yi sighed inwardly: "He is deteriorating further."
xiān shì wèn tā xiū yǎng de rú hé le ， suí hòu ràng tā qù qiān xīng bié yuàn yī tàng 。
先是问他休养的如何了，随后让他去千星别院一趟。
"It seems the end is near. I wonder when those longevity treasures will arrive."
lǐ fán méi yǒu zhōng duàn cān wù de guò chéng ， zhǐ shì fēn chū yī dào yì shí ， kòng zhì zhe qián wǎng 。
李凡没有中断参悟的过程，只是分出一道意识，控制着前往。
After bidding farewell to Qi Bu Yi, Li Fan contacted Huafu Song using the Supervision Record.
“ jiē xià lái ， nǐ jiù bú yào nà me pīn mìng ， qù qīn zì cān yù fǎ zhèn de jiàn zào le 。”
“接下来，你就不要那么拼命，去亲自参与法阵的建造了。”
The fat man's tone became even more courteous.
“ zhǐ xū gēn suí fù zé yàn shōu jiù hǎo 。”
“只需跟随负责验收就好。”
They met at the Law Transmission Square in Tianchen State and arrived at Lanlin State where the Locking Spirit Array was nearing completion. This state is located far south of Xuanhuang, quite remote.
qī bù yì xiào zhe duì lǐ fán shuō dào 。
戚不弈笑着对李凡说道。
After several transfers, they passed through countless white fog barriers, further weakening the already elderly Li Fan.
“ yǔ nǐ dā huǒ de ， jiù shì nà huáng fǔ sōng 。 dōu shì shú rén ， nǐ yě fāng biàn 。”
“与你搭伙的，就是那皇甫松。都是熟人，你也方便。”
His eyes appeared hazy and lifeless.
“ jī fēn bú huì bǐ jiàn zào fǎ zhèn shǎo tài duō ， yě néng bǎo zhù nǐ dì èr de pái míng 。”
“积分不会比建造法阵少太多，也能保住伱第二的排名。”
Although he was deeply immersed in divine technique meditation, outsiders still misunderstood him.
“ àn cháng lǐ lái shuō ， zhè ge zhí wù bú huì jiāo yǔ nǐ men zhè xiē zhēng bǎng de zhèn fǎ shī de 。 bù guò ruò shì nǐ ， xiǎng bì qí tā rén yě bú huì duō shuō shén me ” tā shuō zhe ， chóng xīn jiāng yī méi dū tiān lù dì le guò lái 。
“按常理来说，这个职务不会交予你们这些争榜的阵法师的。不过若是你，想必其他人也不会多说什么”她说着，重新将一枚督天录递了过来。
Huafu Song seemed particularly nervous, fearing that this Li Fan might die right next to him.
xiān qián de dū tiān lù hé dùn tiān suō zài lí kāi wǔ xíng dòng tiān shí biàn yǐ jīng shàng jiāo ， zhè cì hé xiān qián de yòu yǒu bù tóng 。
先前的督天录和遁天梭在离开五行洞天时便已经上交，这次和先前的又有不同。
"Ha ha, rest when you're done."
méi yǒu le gè zhǒng wù zī de fēn bù xìn xī ， zhǐ yǒu xuán huáng jiè gè zhōu jiǎn lüè dì tú 。
没有了各种物资的分布信息，只有玄黄界各州简略地图。
"Leave everything to me," Huafu Song said.
hé chāo jù chuán sòng fǎ zhèn kōng jiān zhōng jiàn dào de suō yǐng shí fēn xiāng sì 。
和超距传送法阵空间中见到的缩影十分相似。
