céng jīng zài jìn jì dú wù zhōng ， hé zhào shī jiě yǒu guò qīn mì jiē chù de lǐ fán ， cǐ kè què shì shùn jiān tīng chū le tā de shēng yīn 。
曾经在禁忌读物中，和赵师姐有过亲密接触的李凡，此刻却是瞬间听出了她的声音。
Li Fan, who had once encountered Zhao Senior Sister in forbidden texts, instantly recognized her voice.
“【 yī xīn tiān zūn 】， zhè shì tā de míng zì ？ hái shì dài biǎo zhe tā nì fǎn de tiān dì zhī lǐ ？”
“【一心天尊】，这是她的名字？还是代表着她逆反的天地之理？”
"【One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign】. Is this her name, or does it symbolize the defiance of natural laws?"
“ tā zěn me huì qīn zì xiàn shēn ？”
“她怎么会亲自现身？”
"Why would she personally appear?"
lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng shà shí jiān shǎn guò shù gè niàn tou 。
李凡脑海中霎时间闪过数个念头。
A myriad of thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind as he was taken aback.
zhèng dāng lǐ fán jīng yí bù dìng de shí hòu ， yī xīn tiān zūn de shēng yīn zài dù xiǎng qǐ 。
正当李凡惊疑不定的时候，一心天尊的声音再度响起。
Just when Li Fan was uncertain, One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign's voice resounded once more.
“ dāng chū yuē dìng ， shì hé chuán fǎ dìng xià 。”
“当初约定，是和传法定下。”
"Back then, the agreement was made with the Transmission Law."
“ rú jīn wǒ zài zhè lǐ ， chuán fǎ hé zài ？”
“如今我在这里，传法何在？”
"Now that I am here, where is the Transmission Law?"
shēng yīn qīng cuì ， biàn chuán tiān dì 。
声音清脆，遍传天地。
The voice was clear and echoed throughout the heavens.
tiān líng zhōu suǒ yǒu xiū shì ， quán dōu miàn miàn xiāng qù 。
天灵州所有修士，全都面面相觑。
All cultivators in Heavenly Spirit State were taken aback by this.
wàn xiān méng zhòng ， dà duō zhī xiǎo chuán fǎ tiān zūn zǎo yǐ chāo rán wù wài ， bù wèn shì shì 。
万仙盟众，大多知晓传法天尊早已超然物外，不问世事。
Most of the members from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance knew that the Transmission Law Sovereign had transcended worldly affairs long ago.
dàn shì dà jiā dōu zhǐ huì rèn wéi ， chuán fǎ tiān zūn tā lǎo rén jiā zhǐ shì xiāo yáo zì zài 、 lǎn de qù guǎn zhè xiē shì jiān sú shì le 。
但是大家都只会认为，传法天尊他老人家只是逍遥自在、懒得去管这些世间俗事了。
But they all thought he simply preferred to be at ease, too lazy to deal with mundane matters.
suǒ yǐ cái cháng nián méi yǒu xiàn shēn 。
所以才常年没有现身。
That was why he hadn’t appeared for so many years.
ér tā běn rén ， háo wú yí wèn shì réng rán cún zài yú shì jiān de 。
而他本人，毫无疑问是仍然存在于世间的。
However, One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign’s presence today meant something else entirely.
dàn jīn tiān ， yī xīn tiān zūn zhè huà yòu shì shén me yì si ？
但今天，一心天尊这话又是什么意思？
"Where is the Transmission Law?"
chuán fǎ hé zài ？
传法何在？
A terrifying idea emerged in everyone's minds.
yí gè kě pà de niàn tou bù yóu dì zài zhòng rén xīn zhōng fú xiàn 。
一个可怕的念头不由地在众人心中浮现。
"No, no."
“ bú huì de ， bú huì de 。”
“不会的，不会的。”
The fear in their eyes could not be contained.
zhòng rén yǎn shén zhōng jiē shì yā yì bú zhù de jīng kǒng 。
众人眼神中皆是压抑不住的惊恐。
"Why isn't the Transmission Law here?"
“ chuán fǎ hé zài ？”
“传法何在？”
One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign asked again.
yī xīn tiān zūn zài dù wèn dào 。
一心天尊再度问道。
His voice was like a thunderclap, echoing across Heavenly Spirit State and beyond.
shēng yīn wǎn ruò jīng léi ， xiǎng chè tiān líng zhōu 。
声音宛若惊雷，响彻天灵州。
Green threads seemed to form a net in the sky, blocking his voice.
bìng qiě yǒu zhe yuè guò bái wù bì zhàng ， yào cháo zhōu wéi qí tā zhōu yù chuán qù de qū shì 。
并且有着越过白雾壁障，要朝周围其他州域传去的趋势。
One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign’s voice gradually faded away.
tiān kōng zhōng ， wǎn ruò jù wǎng de sī sī lǜ máng fú xiàn 。
天空中，宛若巨网的丝丝绿芒浮现。
"【One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign】. Please withdraw," Ji Hong Dao said once more.
jiāng shēng yīn lán xià 。
将声音拦下。
His face was as cold as ice, devoid of any expression.
yī xīn tiān zūn de shēng yīn zhú jiàn xiāo shī 。
一心天尊的声音逐渐消失。
"If I do not retreat, what will you do?" Zhao Senior Sister's intriguing voice echoed.
“【 yī xīn tiān zūn 】， qǐng tuì qù ba 。” jì hóng dào zài dù shuō dào 。
“【一心天尊】，请退去吧。”纪宏道再度说道。
The thousands of Five Elders' cultivators stepped forward in unison.
miàn ruò bīng shuāng ， méi yǒu sī háo biǎo qíng 。
面若冰霜，没有丝毫表情。
Ji Hong Dao took a deep breath. "After the Law of One Heart, one should no longer be involved in mundane disputes."
“ wǒ ruò bù tuì ， nǐ dài rú hé ？” zhào shī jiě ráo yǒu xìng qù de shēng yīn xiǎng qǐ 。
“我若不退，你待如何？”赵师姐饶有兴趣的声音响起。
"This is the agreement between the Transmission Law Sovereign and the Five Elders' Cultivators back then."
xià fāng de shù qiān míng wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì ， qí qí xiàng qián tà le yī bù 。
下方的数千名五老会修士，齐齐向前踏了一步。
"Are you truly going to break this?"
jì hóng dào shēn shēn xī le kǒu qì ：“ tiān zūn 【 dìng lǐ 】 hòu ， biàn bù yīng dāng zài cān yù sú shì zhī zhēng 。”
纪宏道深深吸了口气：“天尊【定理】后，便不应当再参与俗事之争。”
A rumble echoed as thousands of Five Elders' cultivators took another step.
“ cǐ nǎi chuán fǎ tiān zūn yǔ dāng chū wǔ lǎo huì zhū tiān zūn de yuē dìng 。”
“此乃传法天尊与当初五老会诸天尊的约定。”
This showed their resolve under One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign's will.
“ nín rú jīn zhēn de yào wéi bèi me ？”
“您如今真的要违背么？”
"Well, then..."
“ hōng ！” jié chéng zhèn shì de shù qiān wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì ， zài cì qí qí tà chū yī bù 。
“轰！”结成阵势的数千五老会修士，再次齐齐踏出一步。
Ji Hong Dao’s eyes flickered with hesitation but quickly hardened.
xiǎn shì zhe yī xīn tiān zūn de jué xīn 。
显示着一心天尊的决心。
He raised his head towards the sky and bowed deeply.
“ hǎo ba 。”
“好吧。”
Above the heavens, green lines emerged rapidly, spreading outwards to form a massive net covering Heavenly Spirit State.
“ jì rú cǐ ……”
“既如此……”
Ji Hong Dao stood up and bowed once more as the green light intensified, dyeing the entire sky an eerie green.
jì hóng dào de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yóu yù 。
纪宏道的眼中闪过一丝犹豫。
Ji Hong Dao bowed three times.
bù guò hěn kuài jiù bèi qí yā xià 。
不过很快就被其压下。
Moments later...
yǎn zhōng tòu lù chū wú bǐ de bīng lěng hé jiān jué qǐ lái 。
眼中透露出无比的冰冷和坚决起来。
Countless green threads descended from the net, rushing towards their targets on the ground.
jì hóng dào tái tóu wàng tiān ， wān yāo 、 gōng shēn 。
纪宏道抬头望天，弯腰、躬身。
The entire Heavenly Spirit State seemed to be ensnared in a terrifying green web.
tiān mù zhī shàng ， yī dào yòu yī dào de lǜ sè xì xiàn fú xiàn 。
天幕之上，一道又一道的绿色细线浮现。
"Wait, how is this possible?!"
cóng zhōng yāng kuài sù cháo sì zhōu màn yán ， qǐng kè jiān ， jiù xíng chéng le yī zhāng lǒng zhào zhěng gè tiān líng zhōu de jù wǎng 。
从中央快速朝四周蔓延，顷刻间，就形成了一张笼罩整个天灵州的巨网。
The young array magicians aboard the Dust-Parting Vessel finally witnessed the power of the Heaven Xuan Locking Law Array being unleashed.
jì hóng dào qǐ shēn ， zài jū gōng 。
纪宏道起身，再鞠躬。
But no one showed any excitement; instead, they were filled with fear—far more than when they heard that One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign was personally entering battle.
lǜ sè guāng máng yuè lái yuè shèng 。
绿色光芒越来越盛。
The reason was that the target of the Heaven Xuan Locking Law Array wasn’t the Longevity Sovereign blocking the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance or even the thousands of Five Elders' cultivators who had invaded.
jiāng zhěng zuò tiān kōng ， dōu rǎn chéng guǐ yì de lǜ sè 。
将整座天空，都染成诡异的绿色。
It was...
jì hóng dào yú shì sān jū gōng 。
纪宏道于是三鞠躬。
All cultivators within Heavenly Spirit State, belonging to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
piàn kè zhī hòu ……
片刻之后……
Each green thread meant a fallen cultivator.
cóng jù wǎng shàng ， chuí xià nán yǐ jì shù 、 mì mì má má dì lǜ sè sī xiàn 。
从巨网上，垂下难以计数、密密麻麻地绿色丝线。
Above, distorted anomalies formed an abstract chaotic painting.
cháo zhe dì miàn shàng de mù biāo jí chí ér qù 。
朝着地面上的目标疾驰而去。
Re-Re-Re-...
qǐng kè jiān ， zhěng gè tiān líng zhōu ， dōu fǎng fú xiàn rù le kě bù de lǜ sè zhū cháo zhī zhōng 。
顷刻间，整个天灵州，都仿佛陷入了可怖的绿色蛛巢之中。
Da-Da-Da-...
“ děng děng ， zěn me kě néng ？！”
“等等，怎么可能？！”
In Ti-Ti-Ti...
mù dǔ zhè yī qiè de dù chén zhōu shàng de xiū shì ， zhōng yú kàn dào tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn bào fā chū zì shēn de wēi néng 。
目睹这一切的渡尘舟上的修士，终于看到天玄锁灵阵爆发出自身的威能。
Countless voices overlapped and intertwined, their meaning indiscernible.
dàn què méi yǒu yí gè lù chū yuán běn gāi yǒu de xīng fèn shén qíng 。
但却没有一个露出原本该有的兴奋神情。
Only strange sounds echoed, forming a grand, chaotic, and twisted celebration.
ér shì biàn dé wú bǐ jīng kǒng 。
而是变得无比惊恐。
Both the young array magicians on the Dust-Parting Vessel and Li Fan, who was several states away, were rendered speechless by this scene.
shèn zhì bǐ qǐ gāng gāng tīng wén 【 yī xīn tiān zūn 】 qīn fù zhàn chǎng ， hái yào gèng shèn jǐ fēn 。
甚至比起刚刚听闻【一心天尊】亲赴战场，还要更甚几分。
The Heaven Xuan Locking Law Array, which should have intimidated the Five Elders' Cultivators, had unleashed a indiscriminate slaughter against all Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance cultivators.
zhǐ yīn wèi ， tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn de gōng jī mù biāo 。
只因为，天玄锁灵阵的攻击目标。
Seeing the dense green lines in the heavens, everyone suspected that almost all cultivators below the Daoist realm in Heavenly Spirit State had perished under the Locking Law Array's attack.
bú shì nà wèi zǔ dǎng zài wàn xiān méng zhī qián de cháng shēng tiān zūn 。
不是那位阻挡在万仙盟之前的长生天尊。
"Why?"
shèn zhì bú shì qián lái jìn fàn de shù qiān míng wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì 。
甚至不是前来进犯的数千名五老会修士。
Li Fan was overwhelmed with confusion.
ér shì ……
而是……
He had thought the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would kill the array magicians who built the Locking Law Array to prevent its secrets from leaking out.
tiān líng zhōu zhōng ， suǒ yǒu de cún zài zhe de wàn xiān méng xiū shì 。
天灵州中，所有的存在着的万仙盟修士。
But he hadn’t anticipated that the target of the Locking Law Array was all cultivators within Heavenly Spirit State.
měi yī gēn lǜ sè là xià ， dōu yì wèi zhe yī míng xiū shì de yǔn luò 。
每一根绿色落下，都意味着一名修士的陨落。
"It makes no sense?"
gāo tiān zhī shàng 。
高天之上。
"Has the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance gone mad?"
niǔ qū de yì xiàng xíng chéng yī fù hùn dùn bān lán de chōu xiàng huà zuò 。
扭曲的异像形成一副混沌斑斓的抽象画作。
He pondered one possibility after another, but none could explain their actions.
hái hái hái hái ……
还还还还……
Suddenly, the world began to shake as if facing a fatal threat.
dào dào dào ……
道道道……
Li Fan stood up abruptly, his face grave as he looked at the sky.
yú tiān tiān ……
于天天……
"What is this...?"
wú shù shēng yīn huì jù 、 chóng dié jiāo zhī 。
无数声音汇聚、重叠交织。
From above, an indistinct rumbling echoed.
bù néng fēn biàn tā de yì yì 。
不能分辨它的意义。
The world trembled slightly.
zhǐ shì zhū duō guài yīn bù duàn huí xiǎng ， xíng chéng yī qū hóng dà 、 zá luàn 、 niǔ qū de qìng zhù yuè zhāng 。
只是诸多怪音不断回响，形成一曲宏大、杂乱、扭曲的庆祝乐章。
All living beings in the Yellow and Black World instinctively raised their heads, staring at the sky.
wú lùn shì dù chén zhōu shàng de nián qīng zhèn fǎ shī men 。
无论是渡尘舟上的年轻阵法师们。
A sense of impending doom filled them.
hái shì shù zhōu zhī wài de lǐ fán 。
还是数州之外的李凡。
The trembling ceased after a while as all living beings expressed relief but remained confused about what had happened.
cǐ kè dōu xiàn rù le dāi zhì zhuàng tài 。
此刻都陷入了呆滞状态。
In Heavenly Spirit State, Ji Hong Dao repeated his request for One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign to withdraw.
yīn wèi zhè yí mù ， yǐ rán chāo chū le tā men néng lǐ jiě de fàn wéi 。
因为这一幕，已然超出了他们能理解的范围。
After a moment's silence,
yuán běn yīng dāng shì yòng lái wēi shì wǔ lǎo huì de tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn ， cǐ kè què duì wàn xiān méng suǒ shǔ xiū shì ， fā dòng le bù fēn bǐ cǐ de tú shā 。
原本应当是用来威势五老会的天玄锁灵阵，此刻却对万仙盟所属修士，发动了不分彼此的屠杀。
"Hahaha..."
kàn zhe tiān líng zhōu tiān dì jiān nà mì jí cún zài de lǜ xiàn 。
看着天灵州天地间那密集存在的绿线。
"Hahaha..."
zhòng rén háo bù huái yí ， cǐ zhōu fán shì hé dào xiū wèi yǐ xià de xiū shì ， pà shì dōu zài gāng gāng suǒ líng zhèn de gōng jī zhī zhōng yǔn luò le 。
众人毫不怀疑，此州凡是合道修为以下的修士，怕是都在刚刚锁灵阵的攻击之中陨落了。
"Interesting. Whose idea was this?"
“ wèi shén me ？”
“为什么？”
"It’s a waste being in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Join me instead!"
lǐ fán xīn zhōng dùn shí yǒng qǐ wú jìn de bù jiě 。
李凡心中顿时涌起无尽的不解。
Zhao Senior Sister appeared, smiling as she asked curiously who had come up with such an idea.
yuán yǐ wéi ， wàn xiān méng wèi le bǎo zhèng suǒ líng zhèn de zhèn fǎ jié gòu bú huì xiè lòu ， huì duì jiàn zào tā de zhèn fǎ shī men tōng xià shā shǒu 。
原以为，万仙盟为了保证锁灵阵的阵法结构不会泄露，会对建造它的阵法师们通下杀手。
She looked exactly like Li Fan and the image from the forbidden texts—dressed in white robes, graceful and alluring.
rán ér ， tā què gēn běn méi yǒu yù liào dào ， suǒ líng zhèn de mù biāo ， jū rán shì tiān líng zhōu nèi ， suǒ yǒu de xiū shì 。
然而，他却跟本没有预料到，锁灵阵的目标，居然是天灵州内，所有的修士。
Ji Hong Dao closed his eyes, unwilling to look directly at her.
“ wán quán méi yǒu dào lǐ a ？”
“完全没有道理啊？”
"Please, Sovereign, withdraw!"
“ wàn xiān méng zhè shì fēng le ？”
“万仙盟这是疯了？”
He sweat trickled down his forehead but he remained resolute.
nǎo hǎi zhōng fēn xī zhe yí gè yòu yí gè de kě néng ， què gēn běn zhǎo bú dào wàn xiān méng rú cǐ zuò de dòng jī 。
脑海中分析着一个又一个的可能，却根本找不到万仙盟如此做的动机。
Zhao Senior Sister stared at him for a moment before looking up at the sky.
zhèng dāng tā bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě zhī shí 。
正当他百思不得其解之时。
"Not bad."
tiān dì hū rán jiān huàng dòng le qǐ lái 。
天地忽然间晃动了起来。
Before anyone could react, she disappeared.
tiān líng zhōu 。
天灵州。
At the moment One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign vanished,
yǐ jí tā mù qián suǒ dài de tiān pàn zhōu 。
以及他目前所待的天判州。
The thousands of golden beams that had been blocked by her fell to the ground, killing several Five Elders' Cultivators.
jù shì rú cǐ 。
俱是如此。
Strangely, these cultivators showed no fear as they faced death.
xīn tiào měng dì jiā sù ， fǎng fú yù dào le shén me zhì mìng wēi xié yì bān 。
心跳猛地加速，仿佛遇到了什么致命威胁一般。
Above, no signs of a cultivator's demise appeared.
lǐ fán huò rán qǐ shēn ， miàn sè níng zhòng de kàn zhe tiān qióng 。
李凡豁然起身，面色凝重的看着天穹。
"【One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign】..."
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Ji Hong Dao muttered to himself before turning to face the array magicians on the Dust-Parting Vessel with a blank expression.
cóng tiān kōng zhōng yǐn yǐn chuán lái yì yì bù míng de hōng míng 。
从天空中隐隐传来意义不明的轰鸣。
"Let’s go."
zhěng gè shì jiè dōu zài wēi wēi zhèn chàn 。
整个世界都在微微震颤。
"The feast is over; it’s time to talk properly."
Li Fan, who had once encountered Zhao Senior Sister in forbidden texts, instantly recognized her voice.
"【One-Hearted Celestial Sovereign】. Is this her name, or does it symbolize the defiance of natural laws?"
"Why would she personally appear?"
A myriad of thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind as he was taken aback.
