“怎会如此!
"How could this be!

跟我同修一门功法也就算了，修为居然还比我高?
I can understand studying the same cultivation technique with someone, but his cultivation level is actually higher than mine?
hé zhèng hào yī zhèn shī yǔ ， dùn shí xiàn rù le duì rén shēng de de jí dà huái yí zhōng 。
何正浩一阵失语，顿时陷入了对人生的的极大怀疑中。
He Zhenhao fell speechless for a moment and immediately began questioning the meaning of life.
zhè xià huò shì le
这下祸事了
This will surely bring trouble.

刹那间，何正浩脑海里涌现出诸多念头。但最终，他还是决定暂且去万仙岛避-避。就在他准备发动传送法阵的时候。
In an instant, He Zhenhao's mind raced with numerous thoughts. However, he ultimately decided to temporarily seek refuge on Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Just as he was about to activate the teleportation array,
“ wǒ zhī dào nǐ duǒ zài lǐ miàn ， wèi hé bù gǎn chū lái jiàn wǒ ?” duì fāng de nù hè shēng zài dù xiǎng qǐ ， shēng ruò zhèn léi 。
“我知道你躲在里面，为何不敢出来见我?”对方的怒喝声再度响起，声若震雷。
"Why are you hiding inside and not facing me?" the other party's angry voice rang out again, echoing like thunder.
zhěng gè shū lí dǎo fǎng fú dōu zài zhè chì zhà shēng zhōng chàn dǒu 。 hé zhèng hào liǎn pí yī chōu ， yě bù gǎn chū shēng ， zhǐ shì huāng máng dǎ kāi chuán sòng zhèn 。
整个疏璃岛仿佛都在这叱咤声中颤抖。何正浩脸皮一抽，也不敢出声，只是慌忙打开传送阵。
The entire Lustrous Isle trembled under this roar. He Zhenhao's face twitched; he dared not make a sound but hurriedly activated the teleportation array.
shuí céng xiǎng dào ， nà rén jìng rán fā xiàn le tā de jǔ dòng shì de 。“ xiǎng táo ? hēng !
谁曾想到，那人竟然发现了他的举动似的。“想逃?哼!
Who would have thought that the person actually discovered his actions. "Trying to escape? Hmph!
yī gǔ bō dòng dùn shí lóng zhì shū lí dǎo shàng kōng 。
一股波动顿时笼置疏璃岛上空。
A wave instantly enveloped the sky above Lustrous Isle.
hé zhèng hào hài rán de fā xiàn ， shū lí dǎo chuán sòng zhèn jū rán hé wàn xiān dǎo shī qù le lián xì 。
何正浩骇然的发现，疏璃岛传送阵居然和万仙岛失去了联系。
He Zhenhao was shocked to find that the teleportation array on Lustrous Isle had lost contact with Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
“ kōng jiān fēng suǒ ?!
“空间封锁?!
"Space封锁?!
tā de é tóu shùn jiān yǒu lěng hàn dī luò 。
他的额头瞬间有冷汗滴落。
Cold sweat began dripping from his forehead.
bù guò zhuǎn shùn jiān ， hé zhèng hào fǎn yìng guò lái 。
不过转瞬间，何正浩反应过来。
But in an instant, He Zhenhao realized something.
“ bú duì ， zhǐ shì bù zhī tōng guò hé zhǒng fāng fǎ ， zàn shí yǐng xiǎng le chuán sòng zhèn jié diǎn de lián jiē .
“不对，只是不知通过何种方法，暂时影响了传送阵节点的连接.
"That's not right. It’s just that I don’t know what method was used to temporarily disrupt the connection between the array nodes."
zhèng dāng tā àn zì sōng le yì kǒu qì de shí hòu 。
正当他暗自松了一口气的时候。
Just as he secretly exhaled a sigh of relief,
què měng rán fā xiàn ， nà míng tū rán zhǎo shàng mén lái de xiū shì ， jìng rán huà zuò yī dào liú guāng ， jìng zhí cháo zhe xià fāng de hù dǎo dà zhèn chōng le guò lái 。
却猛然发现，那名突然找上门来的修士，竟然化作一道流光，径直朝着下方的护岛大阵冲了过来。
he suddenly noticed that the cultivator who had suddenly come to his door transformed into a streak of light, charging directly towards the protective array surrounding the island.
hé zhèng hào xīn zhōng yī xǐ ：“ yuán lái shì gè mǎng fū ! wǒ zhè shān chuān xīng dǒu dà zhèn kě bú shì yì yǔ de ， jiù suàn nǐ jīn dān xiū wèi zhèng zhè me xiǎng zhe ， ràng tā táng mù jié shé de shì qíng fā shēng le 。 duì fāng jìng rán shì dà zhèn wèi wú wù bān ， jiù zhè me dà yáo dà bǎi de fēi le jìn lái 。
何正浩心中一喜：“原来是个莽夫!我这山川星斗大阵可不是易与的，就算你金丹修为正这么想着，让他膛目结舌的事情发生了。对方竟然视大阵为无物般，就这么大摇大摆的飞了进来。
He Zhenhao's heart leapt with joy: "Turns out it’s just a bumbling fool! My Mountain River Starry Constellation Great Array is no easy feat. Even if you’re at the Golden Core realm, he was left speechless as something unexpected happened. The other party treated the array as if it didn’t exist and boldly flew in.
fēi xíng lù xiàn kàn shì suí yì ， què měi měi zǒu zài fǎ zhèn fáng hù zuì bó ruò de jié diǎn shàng 。
飞行路线看似随意，却每每走在法阵防护最薄弱的节点上。
The flight path seemed casual but always walked through the weakest points of the array’s defenses.
ér qiě sù dù jí kuài ， shùn xī jiān ， zài hé zhèng hào hái méi lái de jí fǎn yìng zhī qián 。
而且速度极快，瞬息间，在何正浩还没来得及反应之前。
Moreover, his speed was extremely fast; before He Zhenhao could react,
jiù luò zài tā de miàn qián 。
就落在他的面前。
he landed right in front of him.

那人冷冷地盯着他，眼神中充满杀意：“就是你小子偷学我宗功法?
That person stared at him coldly with a murderous intent: "Was it you who secretly learned our sect's cultivation technique?"
hé zhèng hào de dà nǎo zhōng dùn shí yí piàn kòng bái 。
何正浩的大脑中顿时一片空白。
He Zhenhao's mind went blank.

来不及思考对方为什么能如此轻而易举的就破了他引以为傲的山川星斗大阵。
There was no time to think about why the other party had so easily broken his prideful Mountain River Starry Constellation Great Array.
wǎn ruò shí zhì dì kě pà shā yì jiāng tā lóng zhì ， hé zhèng hào de xīn bù zhēng qì de jù liè tiào dòng qǐ lái 。
宛若实质的可怕杀意将他笼置，何正浩的心不争气的剧烈跳动起来。
A palpable, terrifying aura enveloped him, causing He Zhenhao’s heart to race wildly.
“ wù huì ! jué duì shì wù huì a !
“误会!绝对是误会啊!
"Accident! It must be an accident!
“ dào yǒu qiè mò dòng shǒu !
“道友切莫动手!
He Zhenhao urgently called out: "Friend, don't act rashly!"

死亡的威胁面前，何正浩连声高呼道。“道友?”对方眼中的凶狠更甚。”区区筑基，如何敢称呼金丹真人为道友? “现在的修士，都是这么不懂礼数了么?比寻常金丹修士要强上太多的威压从他身上骤然发出。
The other party's fierce gaze swept over him before he withdrew the oppressive pressure.

何正浩零时间感到好似有一座大山压在自己肩头，膝盖一软，差点没撑住就要当场跪下来。何正浩顿时心中满是委屈。
"I ask, you answer!

愍出个难看的笑容，何正浩有些艰难地说道：“误会，真的是误会!
He Zhenhao’s heart leapt when he heard what the other said. He nodded incessantly like a chicken pecking at rice, indicating his understanding.

"How did you come by your 'Sitting Mountain Technique'?"
duì fāng yòng yīn lěng de mù guāng sǎo shì yī quān ， zàn qiě shōu huí wēi yā 。“ wǒ wèn ， nǐ dá !
对方用阴冷的目光扫视一圈，暂且收回威压。“我问，你答!
"During my youth, I accidentally discovered it in a cave while exploring. It's not from our sect," He Zhenhao replied before he was interrupted again.
“ ruò shì piàn wǒ ，
“若是骗我，
"Cave? Where is it located? Why would there be our sect’s legacy there?" He Zhenhao quickly recounted the location and internal structure of the cave where he had found the technique.
“ sǐ !
“死!
The other party narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, then began asking about details inside the cave. He Zhenhao was overjoyed and nodded eagerly.

何正浩听到对方说的话，不禁心中一跳。如小鸡啄米似的不住点头，表示自己明白。你的《坐山诀》,是如何而来?”对方问道。“是晚辈年轻时于一处洞府中探险意外所得，绝不是
Feeling the murderous intent gradually subside, He Zhenhao breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the other seemed lost in thought, he boldly asked: "I noticed your actions and demeanor seem different from others.

何正浩话还未说完，就又听对方提问。“洞府?位于何处?为何会有我宗传承?何振浩连忙将当初那处洞府的位置和内部构造说了出来。
Could it be that you just woke up from a long slumber?"
duì fāng shuāng yǎn wēi mī ， chén mò le piàn kè 。
对方双眼微眯，沉默了片刻。
He Zhenhao was not surprised by his guess; nowadays, who still mentions their sect? Moreover, there had been cases of ancient cultivators awakening after thousands of years of sleep.

随后居然讲出了一些洞府内部的细节，问何正浩是也不是。
Feeling aggrieved, He Zhenhao reluctantly submitted to the other's power.
hé zhèn hào dà xǐ ， lián máng diǎn tóu 。
何振浩大喜，连忙点头。
With an awkward smile, he said: "Accident! It’s really just a misunderstanding!
chá jué dào duì fāng de shā yì jiàn jiàn shōu liǎn ， hé zhèng hào bù jīn sōng le yì kǒu qì 。
察觉到对方的杀意渐渐收敛，何正浩不禁松了一口气。

见对方似乎陷入了回忆之中，他壮着胆子问道：“我观前辈言行举止，皆异于常人。
The other party scanned him with a cold gaze before withdrawing the oppressive pressure.
“ bù zhī qián bèi shì fǒu gāng gāng cóng chén shuì zhōng xǐng lái ?
“不知前辈是否刚刚从沉睡中醒来?
"Ask and answer.

Die!
hé zhèng hào duì cǐ yě bù gǎn dào shí fēn qí guài 。
何正浩对此也不感到十分奇怪。
He Zhenhao heard this and nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, indicating his understanding. "How did you come by your 'Sitting Mountain Technique'?"
zhǐ shì jué de zì jǐ shí zài tài dǎo méi le yì diǎn 。
只是觉得自己实在太倒霉了一点。
"It was an accidental discovery in a cave during my youth," He Zhenhao replied.
duì fāng méi yǒu zhí jiē chéng rèn ， ér shì miàn sè biàn dé yǒu xiē yán sù 。
对方没有直接承认，而是面色变得有些严肃。
"Is it true that you found it there?" the other party asked.
shì ? “ wǒ dào hái xiǎng wèn nǐ ， zhè xiē nián jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me “ xiū xíng gōng fǎ jū rán huì mò míng shēng chū gǎn yìng ?
事? “我倒还想问你，这些年究竟发生了什么“修行功法居然会莫名生出感应?
He Zhenhao quickly recounted the location and structure of the cave where he had discovered the technique.
“ tiān dì hǎo xiàng dōu biàn dé bù tài yī yàng le
“天地好像都变得不太一样了
The other’s eyes narrowed, and after a moment's silence, began asking about details inside the cave. He Zhenhao nodded eagerly, feeling relieved as the murderous intent gradually subsided.
hé zhèng hào yù fā què xìn le zì jǐ de cāi cè 。
何正浩愈发确信了自己的猜测。
Seeing that the other seemed lost in thought, he boldly asked: "I noticed your actions and demeanor seem different from others.

当即把天尊传法、大劫降临之后，玄黄界发生的一系列事情都讲述给了他听。
Could it be that you just woke up from a long slumber?"
duì fāng tīng dé liǎn sè lián lián biàn huàn 。
对方听得脸色连连变幻。
He Zhenhao was not surprised by his guess; nowadays, who still mentions their sect? Moreover, there had been cases of ancient cultivators awakening after thousands of years of sleep.
ér hé zhèng hào zài bù duàn páng qiāo cè jī zhōng ， yě zhōng yú màn màn liǎo jiě le duì fāng de shēn fèn 。
而何正浩在不断旁敲侧击中，也终于慢慢了解了对方的身份。
Feeling aggrieved, He Zhenhao reluctantly submitted to the other's power.
tā jiào lǐ fán ， nǎi shì shàng gǔ tiān jī zōng xiū shì 。
他叫李凡，乃是上古天机宗修士。
The other party asked: "How did you recognize that I’m not a disciple of our sect?"
yī cì yīn wèi yì wài xiàn rù chén mián 。
一次因为意外陷入沉眠。
He Zhenhao sighed inwardly at his bad luck but still had doubts.
děng xǐng lái zhī hòu ， bù jǐn xiū wèi dào tuì huí jīn dān jìng 。 gèng shì zài xīn tóu fú xiàn gǎn yìng 。
等醒来之后，不仅修为倒退回金丹境。更是在心头浮现感应。
"Is it because my 'Sitting Mountain Technique' is so advanced, and yet my cultivation level is only at the Golden Core realm?" He Zhenhao asked.
bù míng suǒ yǐ de lǐ fán biàn shùn zhe gǎn yìng de wèi zhì lái dào le shū lí dǎo 。
不明所以的李凡便顺着感应的位置来到了疏璃岛。
The other party scoffed: "After a thousand years, cultivators have become so ignorant?
bìng qiě zài fā xiàn tóng xiū 《 zuò shān jué 》 de hé zhèng hào bú shì tiān jī zōng dì zǐ hòu ， fāng cái yǒu le gāng gāng nà zhì wèn de yí mù 。
并且在发现同修《坐山诀》的何正浩不是天机宗弟子后，方才有了刚刚那质问的一幕。
This question is like asking why a cultivator can instantly recognize a demon as not human."
qián bèi shì rú hé biàn rèn chū ， wǒ bú shì tiān jī zōng dì zǐ de ? hé zhèng hào suī rán zài nèi xīn āi tàn zì jǐ dǎo méi ， bù guò réng rán yǒu suǒ yí lǜ 。
前辈是如何辨认出，我不是天机宗弟子的?何正浩虽然在内心哀叹自己倒霉，不过仍然有所疑虑。
"As disciples of our sect, we strive for harmony with nature. Our techniques are closely linked to the flow of energy. I naturally have secret methods to distinguish," the other party said.
lǐ fán chī xiào yī shēng ：“ qiān nián guò qù ， xiū shì dōu biàn dé rú cǐ wú zhī le ?
李凡嗤笑一声：“千年过去，修士都变得如此无知了?
He Zhenhao’s face turned red from embarrassment at the other's disdainful tone. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw that the other party was suddenly staring intently at him:
“ nǐ zhè ge wèn tí ， jiù gēn wèn wèi shén me xiū shì néng yī yǎn kàn chū yāo shàn bú shì rén yī yàng 。”” wǒ tiān jī zōng xiū shì ， jiǎng jiū tiān rén hé yī ， zōng nèi gōng fǎ dōu hé qì jī tuō bù liǎo gān xì 。 wǒ zì rán yǒu mì shù néng gòu fēn biàn 。 hé zhèng hào tīng zhe duì fāng bù xiè de yǔ qì ， lǎo liǎn wēi wēi hóng 。 zhèng yù zài shuō xiē shén me ， què yòu jiàn lǐ fán shí rán jǐn dīng zhe zì “ qián bèi ， nǐ ” hé zhèng hào bù miǎn yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng 。“ nǐ xiū xíng 《 zuò shān jué 》, yǒu duō jiǔ le ?” lǐ fán wèn dào 。 hé zhèng hào wēi wēi yī lèng ：“ yǒu bǎi yú zài le ，”
“你这个问题，就跟问为什么修士能一眼看出妖善不是人一样。””我天机宗修士，讲究天人合一，宗内功法都和气机脱不了干系。我自然有秘术能够分辨。何正浩听着对方不屑的语气，老脸微微红。正欲再说些什么，却又见李凡实然紧盯着自“前辈，你”何正浩不免有些紧张。“你修行《坐山诀》,有多久了?”李凡问道。何正浩微微一愣：“有百余载了，”
"Senior, you"
《 zuò shān jué 》 rú cǐ shén gōng ， nǐ xiū xíng zhè me jiǔ ， zěn me cái zhù jī xiū wèi ?
《坐山诀》如此神功，你修行这么久，怎么才筑基修为?
He Zhenhao felt a bit nervous. "How long have you been practicing 'Sitting Mountain Technique'?"
lǐ fán hú yí dì kàn zhe hé zhèng hào ：“ mò fēi nǐ yě shì shòu shāng diē luò jìng jiè le ?
李凡狐疑地看着何正浩：“莫非你也是受伤跌落境界了?
The other party asked.
hé zhèng hào wén yán ， liǎn dùn shí biàn dé tōng hóng 。
何正浩闻言，脸顿时变得通红。
"A hundred years or so," He Zhenhao replied.
qián bèi yǒu suǒ bù zhī ， zhè zuò shān jué
前辈有所不知，这坐山诀
"Why is your cultivation level only at the Golden Core realm after such a long time of practice with this technique?
tā zhèng yù wèi zì jǐ biàn jiě ， què yòu hū de xiǎng qǐ ， zhè wèi kě shì xiū xíng 《 zuò shān jué 》 de zǔ zōng 。
他正欲为自己辩解，却又忽的想起，这位可是修行《坐山诀》的祖宗。
The other party looked suspiciously at him: "Could it be that you suffered an injury and fell back in cultivation?"
dāng xià yī shí jiān yě shuō bù chū huà lái 。
当下一时间也说不出话来。
He Zhenhao’s face turned red.
zhī zhī wú wú ， dāi zài dāng chǎng 。
支支吾吾，呆在当场。
Senior, you don’t know, but 'Sitting Mountain' is not the same as 'Sitting Immortal.'
bù guò què shì lǐ fán wèi tā jiě le wéi 。
不过却是李凡为他解了围。
Only by mastering both can one truly achieve longevity.
tā fǎng fú xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， huǎng rán dà wù dào ：“ duì le ， nǐ bú huì gǎn yìng tiān jī zhī fǎ 。 yě nán guài nǐ xiū xíng rú cǐ zhī màn 。”
他仿佛想起了什么，恍然大悟道：“对了，你不会感应天机之法。也难怪你修行如此之慢。”
Seeing his predicament, Li Fan stepped forward to help: "Ah, that's why you can't sense our sect's methods. That’s why your cultivation progress has been so slow."
“ guāng kào 【 zuò shān 】 bù qù 【 zuò xiān 】。 nán nán
“光靠【坐山】不去【坐仙】。难难
"Without achieving 'Immortality,' it is difficult."
"How could this be!
I can understand studying the same cultivation technique with someone, but his cultivation level is actually higher than mine?
He Zhenhao fell speechless for a moment and immediately began questioning the meaning of life.
This will surely bring trouble.
In an instant, He Zhenhao's mind raced with numerous thoughts. However, he ultimately decided to temporarily seek refuge on Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Just as he was about to activate the teleportation array,
"Why are you hiding inside and not facing me?" the other party's angry voice rang out again, echoing like thunder.
The entire Lustrous Isle trembled under this roar. He Zhenhao's face twitched; he dared not make a sound but hurriedly activated the teleportation array.
Who would have thought that the person actually discovered his actions. "Trying to escape? Hmph!

The other party asked: "How did you recognize that I’m not a disciple of our sect?"
He Zhenhao sighed inwardly at his bad luck but still had doubts.
"Is it because my 'Sitting Mountain Technique' is so advanced, and yet my cultivation level is only at the Golden Core realm?" He Zhenhao asked.
The other party scoffed: "After a thousand years, cultivators have become so ignorant?
This question is like asking why a cultivator can instantly recognize a demon as not human."
"As disciples of our sect, we strive for harmony with nature. Our techniques are closely linked to the flow of energy. I naturally have secret methods to distinguish," the other party said.
He Zhenhao’s face turned red from embarrassment at the other's disdainful tone. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw that the other party was suddenly staring intently at him:
"Senior, you"
He Zhenhao felt a bit nervous. "How long have you been practicing 'Sitting Mountain Technique'?"
The other party asked.
"A hundred years or so," He Zhenhao replied.
"Why is your cultivation level only at the Golden Core realm after such a long time of practice with this technique?
The other party looked suspiciously at him: "Could it be that you suffered an injury and fell back in cultivation?"
He Zhenhao’s face turned red.
Senior, you don’t know, but 'Sitting Mountain' is not the same as 'Sitting Immortal.'
Only by mastering both can one truly achieve longevity.
Seeing his predicament, Li Fan stepped forward to help: "Ah, that's why you can't sense our sect's methods. That’s why your cultivation progress has been so slow."
"Without achieving 'Immortality,' it is difficult."
