lǐ fán xīn zhōng zhèn dòng bù yǐ 。
李凡心中震动不已。
Li Fan's heart was in turmoil.
méi xiǎng dào le què tiān yáng zhēn rén de yí niàn hòu ， bù jǐn zì jǐ shōu huò le xǔ duō ， jiù lián 【 hái zhēn 】 yě jiě suǒ le xīn de gōng néng 。
没想到了却天阳真人的遗念后，不仅自己收获了许多，就连【还真】也解锁了新的功能。
He hadn't expected that after receiving the last will of Tianyang True Immortal, he not only gained much for himself but also unlocked new functions for the [Truly Real] technique.
nán guài zhī qián jiàn dào yǒng héng yí niàn shí ，【 hái zhēn 】 huì chuán lái zhèn zhèn jī è gǎn 。
难怪之前见到永恒遗念时，【还真】会传来阵阵饥饿感。
No wonder the [Truly Real] had transmitted a sense of hunger when he encountered the Eternal Will before.
lǐ fán dāng jí zǐ xì yán jiū qǐ zhè suǒ wèi de 【 huà shēn 】 qǐ lái 。
李凡当即仔细研究起这所谓的【化身】起来。
Li Fan immediately began to carefully study this so-called "Avatar" function.
piàn kè zhī hòu ， méi tóu wēi zhòu 。
片刻之后，眉头微皱。
After a moment, his brow furrowed.
“ xiāo hào 100% huà xū chōng néng jìn dù ， shě qì ròu shēn cún zài ， jiāng zì shēn zhēn líng wán quán jì tuō yú yī jiàn wù pǐn zhī shàng ……”
“消耗100%化虚充能进度，舍弃肉身存在，将自身真灵完全寄托于一件物品之上……”
"It consumes 100% of the materialization energy progress,舍弃 physical existence and fully寄托自身真灵 in an item..."
“ chéng wéi wù pǐn hòu ， wú fǎ bǎo liú zì zhǔ yì shí ， zhǐ huì liú cún yì diǎn 【 líng xìng 】。”
“成为物品后，无法保留自主意识，只会留存一点【灵性】。”
"Becoming an object means losing autonomous consciousness; only a trace of [spirituality] remains."
“ xiāng yìng de ， néng cún xù de shí jiān yě huì dà dà jiā qiáng 。”
“相应的，能存续的时间也会大大加强。”
"Consequently, the duration can be significantly extended."
“ dāng cún xù shí jiān dá dào jí xiàn hòu ， biàn huì zì dòng chù fā 【 hái zhēn 】 gōng néng ， fǎn huí tí qián shè dìng hǎo de máo diǎn 。”
“当存续时间达到极限后，便会自动触发【还真】功能，返回提前设定好的锚点。”
"When the duration reaches its limit, it will automatically trigger the [Truly Real] function to return to the pre-set anchor point."
“ zhè yǒu hé yòng ？”
“这有何用？”
"What use is this?"
lǐ fán qǐ chū shāo wēi yǒu xiē shī wàng 。
李凡起初稍微有些失望。
Initially, Li Fan was slightly disappointed.
bù guò ， zài xì xì sī liáng zhī hòu ， què shì yǐn yuē xiǎng dào le 【 huà shēn 】 de yòng fǎ 。
不过，在细细思量之后，却是隐约想到了【化身】的用法。
But after careful consideration, he vaguely understood how to utilize the Avatar function.
zuì jī běn de ， jiù shì kě yǐ zài yī shì shòu yuán jiāng jìn 、 jí jiāng sǐ wáng hòu ， réng rán kě yǐ yòng shēn huà wù de fāng fǎ ， liú zài shì jiān ， sōu jí xìn xī 。
最基本的，就是可以在一世寿元将近、即将死亡后，仍然可以用身化物的方法，留在世间，搜集信息。
The most basic application would be to stay in the world even when nearing the end of one's lifespan by transforming into an object and gathering information.
suī rán kě néng zhū duō shì jiàn de jù tǐ xì jié bú huì zhī xiǎo de hěn qīng chǔ 。
虽然可能诸多事件的具体细节不会知晓的很清楚。
Although many specific details might not be known clearly,
dàn duì yú jiē xià lái tiān xià dà shì de zǒu xiàng ， zhǐ yào tuō fù gěi kào pǔ de rén ， xiǎng yào zhǎng wò ， yīng gāi bù nán 。
但对于接下来天下大势的走向，只要托付给靠谱的人，想要掌握，应该不难。
as long as it is entrusted to a reliable person, gaining such knowledge should not be difficult.
ér qiě gēn jù 【 hái zhēn 】 de fǎn kuì lái kàn ， mù qián rú guǒ lǐ fán qǐ yòng 【 huà shēn 】 de huà ， zú yǐ yán xù jiāng jìn sān qiān nián de shí jiān 。
而且根据【还真】的反馈来看，目前如果李凡启用【化身】的话，足以延续将近三千年的时间。
Moreover, based on [Truly Real]'s feedback, if Li Fan were to activate this function now, he could extend his existence for nearly three thousand years.
jí biàn kě néng yīn wèi shēn huà wù de sǔn shāng ér suō duǎn cún xù shí jiān ， dàn yě zú yǐ dà dà zēng qiáng lǐ fán wèi lái shì de yù jiàn néng lì 。
即便可能因为身化物的损伤而缩短存续时间，但也足以大大增强李凡未来视的预见能力。
Even with potential reductions due to damage to the object, it would significantly enhance his foresight in future life.
cóng ér xià yī shì gèng hǎo de bù jú 。
从而下一世更好的布局。
Thus, allowing better planning in the next incarnation.
qiān zài shí guāng ， néng gòu zài lì shǐ shàng liú xià xìng mìng de ， dìng rán quán dōu bú shì yì yǔ zhī bèi 。
千载时光，能够在历史上留下性命的，定然全都不是易与之辈。
Those who left their mark in history over a millennium must have been formidable individuals indeed.
kě wèi shì zhēn zhèng de háo jié 。
可谓是真正的豪杰。
They were true heroes.
jiāng tā men míng zì jì xià ， zhòng lái zhī shí ， zài jìn xíng tóu zī 。
将他们名字记下，重来之时，再进行投资。
Recording their names and investing in them again when reincarnated was much more efficient than Li Fan's previous efforts to gather talent by relying on his own experiences.
bǐ qǐ lǐ fán zhī qián zài yī zhōu zhī dì ， guāng kào zhe zì shēn suǒ jiē chù yǐ jí dǎ tīng jiàn wén qù màn màn sōu luó rén cái ， yào gāo xiào tài duō 。
比起李凡之前在一州之地，光靠着自身所接触以及打听见闻去慢慢搜罗人才，要高效太多。
Li Fan felt an impulse.
lǐ fán yǐn yǐn yì dòng 。
李凡隐隐意动。
"Perhaps I can understand how the Xuanhuang Realm under Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array will evolve..."
“ bǐ rú cǐ shì ， tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn lǒng zhào xià de xuán huáng jiè jiū jìng huì biàn chéng shén me yàng zi ， huò xǔ kě yǐ jiè cǐ liǎo jiě qīng chǔ ……”
“比如此世，天玄锁灵阵笼罩下的玄黄界究竟会变成什么样子，或许可以借此了解清楚……”
To be cautious, he confirmed the details of the Avatar function again.
jǐn shèn qǐ jiàn ， lǐ fán yòu zài dù què rèn le fān 【 huà shēn 】 hòu de zhū duō xì jié 。
谨慎起见，李凡又再度确认了番【化身】后的诸多细节。
"The [Self-Transformation] and [Materialization] are at the same level. After self-transformation, if one cannot resist the [Truly Real]'s materialization force, they won't be able to discern the true spirit within the item."
“【 yǐ shēn huà wù 】 hé 【 huà shí wèi xū 】 shì tóng jí bié de lì liàng ， yǐ shēn huà wù hòu ， zhǐ yào bù néng dǐ kàng 【 hái zhēn 】 de huà xū zhī lì ， nà me jiù wú fǎ biàn bié chū jì tuō yú wù pǐn shàng de yì diǎn zhēn líng 。”
“【以身化物】和【化实为虚】是同级别的力量，以身化物后，只要不能抵抗【还真】的化虚之力，那么就无法辨别出寄托于物品上的一点真灵。”
"Even after self-transformation, the materialization energy progress will still automatically increase, with an upper limit of 1000%. This significantly enhances self-protection."
“ yǐ shēn huà wù hòu ，【 huà xū 】 chōng néng jìn dù réng rán huì zì dòng zēng jiā ， bìng qiě shàng xiàn tí gāo dào 1000%。 dà dà tí gāo zì wǒ fáng hù néng lì 。”
“以身化物后，【化虚】充能进度仍然会自动增加，并且上限提高到1000%。大大提高自我防护能力。”
"Other than reaching its limit, when the avatar object faces total destruction, it will also trigger automatic [Truly Real]."
“ chú le cún xù shí jiān dào dá jí xiàn zhī wài ， dāng huà shēn wù yù dào chè dǐ sǔn huǐ de wēi xiǎn shí ， yě huì chù fā zì dòng hái zhēn 。”
“除了存续时间到达极限之外，当化身物遇到彻底损毁的危险时，也会触发自动还真。”
...
……
……
After some time, Li Fan made his judgment.
bù duō shí ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǒu le pàn duàn 。
不多时，李凡心中有了判断。
The safety of this Avatar function was still assured.
zhè 【 huà shēn 】 gōng néng de ān quán xìng ， hái shì yǒu bǎo zhàng de 。
这【化身】功能的安全性，还是有保障的。
"Since my lifespan is about to end in this world and I have the identity of the builder of Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array, even if I can live a few more years, my freedom will be restricted."
“ zhèng hǎo cǐ shì shòu yuán jiāng jǐn ， ér qiě yǒu zhe tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn zhèn fǎ jiàn zào shī de shēn fèn ， jiù suàn hái néng huó gè jǐ nián ， zì yóu yě yào shòu dào xiàn zhì 。”
“正好此世寿元将尽，而且有着天玄锁灵阵阵法建造师的身份，就算还能活个几年，自由也要受到限制。”
"Better to self-transform into an object and escape. Then observe the changes in the world without interference."
“ bù rú yǐ shēn huà wù ， jīn chán tuō qiào 。 zài jìng kàn shì jiān fēng yún biàn huàn 。”
“不如以身化物，金蝉脱壳。再静看世间风云变幻。”
"But before that, I need to select the avatar object and the person to entrust it to."
“ bù guò zài cǐ zhī qián ， xū xuǎn dìng hǎo huà shēn wù ， yǐ jí tuō fù de rén 。”
“不过在此之前，需选定好化身物，以及托付的人。”
Li Fan scanned his storage ring.
lǐ fán sǎo shì le yī quān zì jǐ de chǔ wù jiè 。
李凡扫视了一圈自己的储物戒。
His gaze stopped on a clear circular disk.
shì xiàn zài yí gè jīng yíng de yuán pán shàng tíng zhù 。
视线在一个晶莹的圆盘上停住。
"The [Array-Breaking Jade Plate], specially crafted by the Strategy Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for array mages above the Transcendence Realm. It's a reward given to the top hundred in the final考核of the All-World Separate Academy."
“【 pò zhèn yù pán 】， wàn xiān méng cè zhèn táng tè zhì ， gěi huà shén jí yǐ shàng zhèn fǎ shī pèi bèi de pò zhèn zhuān yòng fǎ qì 。”
“【破阵玉盘】，万仙盟策阵堂特制，给化神及以上阵法师配备的破阵专用法器。”
"Only recently, I've been too busy building the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array and haven't had much use for it."
“ shì dāng chū zài huán yǔ bié yuàn zuì zhōng kǎo hé qián yì bǎi míng de jiǎng lì 。”
“是当初在寰宇别院最终考核前一百名的奖励。”
"Compared to other items of unknown origin, this Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance-produced artifact will cause less suspicion."
“ zhǐ bù guò zhè xiē nián lái yì zhí máng yú jiàn zào tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn ， zhè dōng xī yě méi zěn pài shàng yòng chǎng 。”
“只不过这些年来一直忙于建造天玄锁灵阵，这东西也没怎派上用场。”
"Now, I need to consider how to hand over this [Array-Breaking Jade Plate] to the designated person."
“ bǐ qǐ qí tā lái lù bù míng de dōng xī ， zhè wàn xiān méng zì jǐ chū pǐn de fǎ qì ， yǐn qǐ de jǐng tì dìng rán huì xiǎo hěn duō 。”
“比起其他来路不明的东西，这万仙盟自己出品的法器，引起的警惕定然会小很多。”
Li Fan pondered in his secret chamber.
“ jiē xià lái ， yào kǎo lǜ de ， jiù shì zěn me jiāng zhè pò zhèn yù pán ， jiāo dào zhǐ dìng de rén shǒu shàng 。”
“接下来，要考虑的，就是怎么将这破阵玉盘，交到指定的人手上。”
Time passed slowly.
lǐ fán zài mì shì zhōng ， xì xì sī liáng qǐ lái 。
李凡在密室中，细细思量起来。
During this time, Li Fan received messages from Huafu Song, Qie Buyi, and Ji Hong Dao, even asking when he would leave the Museum of Divine Treasures.
shí jiān huǎn huǎn liú shì 。
时间缓缓流逝。
They told him to go directly to the Strategy Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance after leaving the museum. The reward for ranking second in the grand competition was already prepared, and he could claim it at any time.
qī jiān ， lǐ fán jiē dào le huáng fǔ sōng 、 qī bù yì ， shèn zhì jì hóng dào de chuán xùn 。
期间，李凡接到了皇甫松、戚不弈，甚至纪宏道的传讯。
In addition, a longevity treasure had also been prepared, waiting for his arrival.
wèn tā shén me shí hòu cóng bó wù shén cáng guǎn zhōng chū lái 。
问他什么时候从博物神藏馆中出来。
Li Fan merely sneered but did not reply.
yào tā chū lái hòu zhí jiē qù wàn xiān méng zǒng bù cè zhèn táng ， dà bǐ jīn bǎng pái míng dì èr de jiǎng lì yǐ jīng zhǔn bèi hǎo le 。
要他出来后直接去万仙盟总部策阵堂，大比金榜排名第二的奖励已经准备好了。
He wasn't afraid of them forcibly taking him.
tā suí shí kě yǐ qù lǐng qǔ 。
他随时可以去领取。
There was an area called [Xuanhuang All-Phenomena] in the Museum of Divine Treasures.
chú cǐ zhī wài ， yán shòu bǎo wù yě yǐ bèi hǎo ， jiù děng tā qián lái le 。
除此之外，延寿宝物也已备好，就等他前来了。
It preserved samples of all living beings within the Xuanhuang Realm under ice.
lǐ fán kàn le ， zhǐ shì lěng xiào yī shēng ， tōng tōng bù qù huí fù 。
李凡看了，只是冷笑一声，通通不去回复。
Thinking about the devouring existence above the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan guessed that this so-called "Museum of Divine Treasures" was more like a place to preserve the essence of the world.
dào yě bù pà tā men zhǎo shàng mén lái ， qiáng xíng dài zǒu zì jǐ 。
倒也不怕他们找上门来，强行带走自己。
If the Xuanhuang Realm truly faced destruction one day, this place might bear the hope of preserving civilization and rebuilding in the future.
bó wù shén cáng guǎn zhōng ， yǒu yī míng wèi 【 xuán huáng wàn xiàng 】 de qū yù 。
博物神藏馆中，有一名为【玄黄万象】的区域。
Later, when he asked the guide丙寅 about it, his suspicions were confirmed.
lǐ miàn bīng fēng bǎo cún zhe xuán huáng jiè nèi ， suǒ yǒu cún zài shēng líng de yī fèn yàng běn 。
里面冰封保存着玄黄界内，所有存在生灵的一份样本。
The Museum of Divine Treasures held an extremely special position; no disputes were allowed within its walls.
lián xiǎng dào xuán huáng jiè zhī shàng nà tūn shì yī qiè de xiān xū cún zài ， lǐ fán cān guān zhī shí jiù yǐn yǐn cāi cè 。
联想到玄黄界之上那吞噬一切的仙墟存在，李凡参观之时就隐隐猜测。
Even the Strategy Hall did not have the authority to forcibly take someone out.
zhè ge suǒ wèi de 【 bó wù shén cáng guǎn 】， yǔ qí shuō shì lèi sì yú bó wù guǎn de cún zài 。
这个所谓的【博物神藏馆】，与其说是类似于博物馆的存在。
As long as Li Fan stayed inside and didn't leave, Ji Hong Dao and others would be powerless.
gèng xiàng shì yòng lái bǎo cún shì jiè huǒ zhǒng de dì fāng 。
更像是用来保存世界火种的地方。
Before activating the Avatar function, Li Fan checked on his other self's situation.
ruò shì xuán huáng jiè zhēn de yíng lái huǐ miè de nà yī tiān ， kǒng pà cǐ dì jiù huì chéng dān zhe bǎo cún wén míng huǒ zhǒng 、 yǐ qī wèi lái chóng jiàn de xī wàng 。
若是玄黄界真的迎来毁灭的那一天，恐怕此地就会承担着保存文明火种、已期未来重建的希望。
Han Yi had hoped they could explore the Heavenly Capital Ruins together.
hòu lái tā xún wèn jiě shuō yuán bǐng yín ， guǒ bù qí rán 。
后来他询问解说员丙寅，果不其然。
They found nothing but encountered many mysterious dangers along the way. Both were severely injured and returned to Yuan Dao City for rest.
shén cáng guǎn dì wèi jí qí tè shū ， qí nèi jìn zhǐ yī qiè fēn zhēng 。
神藏馆地位极其特殊，其内禁止一切纷争。
On their journey back, Han Yi kept suspiciously eyeing his other self V Fan several times, hesitating to speak.
nǎ pà shì cè zhèn táng ， yě méi yǒu qián lái qiáng zhì ná rén de quán xiàn 。
哪怕是策阵堂，也没有前来强制拿人的权限。
"Too bad; I thought I could benefit from his luck."
zhǐ yào lǐ fán duǒ zài lǐ miàn bù chū qù ， jì hóng dào tā men yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ 。
只要李凡躲在里面不出去，纪宏道他们也没有办法。
Li Fan shook his head in disappointment.
jí jiāng 【 huà shēn 】 zhī qián ， lǐ fán yòu chá kàn le xià fēn shēn nà biān de qíng kuàng 。
即将【化身】之前，李凡又查看了下分身那边的情况。
He then controlled the other self, returning alone to the Heavenly Capital Ruins.
hán yì mǎn huái xī wàng de hé tā yì qǐ tàn suǒ tiān dōu yí jì 。
韩易满怀希望的和他一起探索天都遗迹。
He found a禁制 and willingly sacrificed himself, ending the other self's life.
shén me dōu méi yǒu fā xiàn bù shuō ， yī lù shàng hái zāo yù le xǔ duō mò míng qí miào de wēi xiǎn 。
什么都没有发现不说，一路上还遭遇了许多莫名其妙的危险。
...
liǎng rén jù shì shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， láng bèi fǎn huí yuán dào chéng xiū yǎng 。
两人俱是身受重伤，狼狈返回源道城休养。
"With this, I can proceed with my plans."
huí chéng lù shàng ， hán yì gèng shì yòng huái yí de mù guāng bú zhù dǎ liàng fēn shēn xiāo fán ， jǐ dù yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
回程路上，韩易更是用怀疑的目光不住打量分身萧凡，几度欲言又止。
Li Fan’s eyes sparkled.
“ kě xī le ， hái yǐ wéi néng jiè zhù cǐ rén yùn dào ， yǒu suǒ zhǎn huò ne 。”
“可惜了，还以为能借助此人运道，有所斩获呢。”
As the Avatar function activated, a trace of his true spirit was transferred into the [Array-Breaking Jade Plate] in his storage ring.
lǐ fán rú cǐ xiǎng dào ， bù jīn wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
李凡如此想道，不禁微微摇头。
His consciousness suddenly went dark.
suí hòu cāo zòng fēn shēn ， dú zì yī rén fǎn huí zhī qián tàn suǒ de tiān dōu yí jì 。
随后操纵分身，独自一人返回之前探索的天都遗迹。
Meanwhile, halfway across Tianyun Province, He Zhenghao and Huafu Song received Li Fan's final message.
zhǎo dào yī chù jìn zhì ， zhǔ dòng sòng sǐ ， liǎo jié le fēn shēn de xìng mìng 。
找到一处禁制，主动送死，了结了分身的性命。
"Last will?"
……
……
Huafu Song’s expression changed to disbelief. He immediately contacted Ji Hong Dao.
“ rú cǐ yī lái ， biàn kě yǐ jiē xià lái de jì huà le 。”
“如此一来，便可以接下来的计划了。”
After a few hours, when Qie Buyi hurriedly arrived with Huafu Song, they found Li Fan's body.
lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn shuò 。
李凡目光闪烁。
"He just died like that?"
suí zhe 【 huà shēn 】 de fā dòng ， yì diǎn zhēn líng tóu rù chǔ wù jiè zhōng de 【 pò zhèn yù pán 】 lǐ 。
随着【化身】的发动，一点真灵投入储物戒中的【破阵玉盘】里。
Huafu Song was stunned. Qie Buyi, with a serious look, examined the scene and nodded.
lǐ fán de yì shí dǒu rán yī hēi 。
李凡的意识陡然一黑。
The two exchanged glances, speechless.
ér tā shēn shàng de qì xī ， yě shì xùn sù wēi ruò qǐ lái 。
而他身上的气息，也是迅速微弱起来。
"Earlier, I noticed something off about him; he said it would be fine after some rest. But..." Guide丙寅 shook his head and sighed.
yú cǐ tóng shí ， yuǎn zài tiān yùn zhōu de hé zhèng hào ， yǐ jí zài tiān yǔ zhōu de huáng fǔ sōng ， dōu shōu dào le lǐ fán lín zhōng qián de chuán xùn 。
于此同时，远在天运州的何正浩，以及在天禹州的皇甫松，都收到了李凡临终前的传讯。
Huafu Song whispered, "What do we do now?"
“ yí shū ？”
“遗书？”
"What can we do? He's dead," Qie Buyi’s expression was grim as he glanced at Huafu Song before leaving.
huáng fǔ sōng miàn sè yī biàn ， mǎn shì bù gǎn xiāng xìn 。
皇甫松面色一变，满是不敢相信。
One more chapter tomorrow
lián máng lián xì qǐ le jì hóng dào 。
连忙联系起了纪宏道。
(End of Chapter)
Li Fan's heart was in turmoil.
He hadn't expected that after receiving the last will of Tianyang True Immortal, he not only gained much for himself but also unlocked new functions for the [Truly Real] technique.
No wonder the [Truly Real] had transmitted a sense of hunger when he encountered the Eternal Will before.
Li Fan immediately began to carefully study this so-called "Avatar" function.
After a moment, his brow furrowed.
"It consumes 100% of the materialization energy progress,舍弃 physical existence and fully寄托自身真灵 in an item..."
"Becoming an object means losing autonomous consciousness; only a trace of [spirituality] remains."
"Consequently, the duration can be significantly extended."
"When the duration reaches its limit, it will automatically trigger the [Truly Real] function to return to the pre-set anchor point."
...
"What use is this?"
Initially, Li Fan was slightly disappointed.
But after careful consideration, he vaguely understood how to utilize the Avatar function.
