「 shuō qǐ lái ， zhè tūn tiān shí dì dà fǎ ， dǎo shì gēn nà 【 guī yuán há 】 shí fēn xiāng sì 。」
「说起来，这吞天食地大法，倒是跟那【归元蛤】十分相似。」
"Speaking of it, thisHeaven-devouring, Earth-eating Great Technique is quite similar to the [Return Origin Snail]."
「 dōu néng tūn shì dì mài ， tóng yàng bù zhī jié zhì 。」
「都能吞噬地脉，同样不知节制。」
"Both can devour earth veins without any restraint."
「 sì hū shàng gǔ shí qī yǒu xǔ duō gōng fǎ ， dōu shì mó fǎng yì shòu ér chuàng de 。」
「似乎上古时期有许多功法，都是模仿异兽而创的。」
"It seems that many ancient techniques were created by imitating strange beasts from the past."
lǐ fán huí xiǎng qǐ zài bó wù shén cáng guǎn 【 wàn fǎ zhēng fēng 】 qū yù zhōng de jiàn wén ， ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
李凡回想起在博物神藏馆【万法争锋】区域中的见闻，若有所思。
Li Fan recalled his experiences in the Museum of All Techniques' [Contest of a Thousand Methods] area, pondering thoughtfully.
「 kě xī tuī yǎn gōng fǎ jì chéng le yì shòu tè xìng de tóng shí ， lián qí bì duān yě yī bìng dài lái le 。」
「可惜推衍功法继承了异兽特性的同时，连其弊端也一并带来了。」
"Unfortunately, the Derivation Technique inherited the flaws of the strange beast along with its benefits."
「 bù guò ……」
「不过……」
"But..."
「 ruò shì néng tōng guò yǎn fǎ jué gǎi liáng ， yōu huà diào shén zhì mí shī zhè yī quē diǎn ， yě bù shī wèi yī mén qiáng dà de shén tōng 。」
「若是能通过衍法珏改良，优化掉神智迷失这一缺点，也不失为一门强大的神通。」
"If we can improve it through the use of the Derivation Jewel and eliminate the flaw of losing one's mind, it could still be a powerful technique."
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lǐ fán yáo le yáo tóu 。
想到这里，李凡摇了摇头。
With this in mind, Li Fan shook his head.
「 kǒng pà cǐ shì shì méi yǒu jī huì le 。 wǒ jí jiāng tū pò zhì yuán yīng jìng ，《 zuò shān jué 》 yǐ rán xiū liàn dào jìn tóu 。 jiāng qí tuī yǎn dào gèng gāo de jìng jiè ， nǎi shì dāng wù zhī jí 。」
「恐怕此世是没有机会了。我即将突破至元婴境，《坐山诀》已然修炼到尽头。将其推衍到更高的境界，乃是当务之急。」
"Pity that I won't have the chance in this world. I am about to breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm, and The Sitting Mountain Technique has already reached its limit. Pushing it further is urgent."
yī zhāng nián qīng xiū shì fàng dàng bù jī de liǎn páng shà shí fú xiàn zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
一张年轻修士放荡不羁的脸庞霎时浮现在李凡脑海中。
The face of a young, carefree cultivator flashed before Li Fan's mind.
zhèng shì shàng yī shì jiè zhù kě yán shòu bā bǎi zài de tiān dōu huà yǔ dān ， chéng gōng huò dé yǎn fǎ jué hé dào gōng fǎ tuī yǎn zī gé de hán yì 。
正是上一世借助可延寿八百载的天都化羽丹，成功获得衍法珏合道功法推衍资格的韩易。
It was Han Yi from his previous life, who had successfully obtained the Derivation Jewel by using the Heaven Capital Feather-Transforming Pill to extend his lifespan for eight hundred years and then tricked in the Foundation Establishment Master.
「 yī bù dào wèi ， jiāng 《 zuò shān jué 》 tuī yǎn zhì hé dào céng jí ， jiù xū yào qiè qǔ cǐ rén jī yuán 。」
「一步到位，将《坐山诀》推衍至合道层级，就需要窃取此人机缘。」
"One step at a time. To push The Sitting Mountain Technique to the realm of union with Dao requires stealing this person's fortune."
「 bù guò ， zhè rén sì hū yǒu diǎn bú duì jìn 。 tā zěn me kàn ， zěn me bù xiàng qiáng tiān yùn zhī rén 。」
「不过，这人似乎有点不对劲。他怎么看，怎么不像强天运之人。」
"But something seems off about him. He doesn't look like someone with strong fate."
「 shàng yī shì wǒ fēn shēn hé tā tóng qù tiān dōu yí jì zhōng tàn suǒ ， háo wú suǒ huò bù shuō 。 shèn zhì yī lù shàng wēi jī bù duàn ， dōu xiǎn xiē sàng mìng 。」
「上一世我分身和他同去天都遗迹中探索，毫无所获不说。甚至一路上危机不断，都险些丧命。」
"In my previous life, I went to explore the Heaven Capital ruins with his doppelgänger. We didn't find anything and faced numerous dangers, nearly losing our lives."
「 kě yǐ shuō ， wǒ nà jī hū háo wú qì yùn kě yán de fēn shēn ， dōu bǐ tā qiáng shàng bù shǎo 。」
「可以说，我那几乎毫无气运可言的分身，都比他强上不少。」
"His doppelgänger, who had almost no fate, was actually stronger than he."
「 dàn tā zhōng dé dìng yú tóu cǎi 、 shǒu wò tiān dōu huà yǔ dān zhè děng bǎo wù què shì bù jiǎ 。」
「但他中得定鱼头彩、手握天都化羽丹这等宝物却是不假。」
"But it's true that he obtained precious treasures like the Fixed Fish Head Fortune and the Heaven Capital Feather-Transforming Pill."
lǐ fán wēi wēi zhòu méi 。
李凡微微皱眉。
Li Fan frowned.
「 wǒ jì de ， tā zài yī yè bào fù zhī qián ， jiù céng zài zhù jī dà shī nà lǐ shòu guò piàn 。」
「我记得，他在一夜暴富之前，就曾在筑基大师那里受过骗。」
"I remember him being cheated by a Foundation Establishment Master before his sudden wealth."
「 dào shí hòu kě yǐ zhòng diǎn guān zhào tā xià 。」
「到时候可以重点关照他下。」
"I'll keep an eye on him closely."
「 kàn kàn tā jiū jìng shì zěn me cóng qióng kùn liáo dǎo ， chè dǐ fān shēn de 。」
「看看他究竟是怎么从穷困潦倒，彻底翻身的。」
"Let me see how he turned from poverty to prosperity."
sī xù liáng jiǔ ， fēn shēn zhōng yú sū xǐng 。
思绪良久，分身终于苏醒。
After much contemplation, his doppelgänger finally woke up.
lǐ fán jiāng líng shí hé wù dào dān quán dōu shōu qǐ ， liú fēn shēn jì xù zuò zhèn tài ān dǎo 。
李凡将灵石和悟道丹全都收起，留分身继续坐镇泰安岛。
Li Fan gathered the spirit stones and Enlightenment Pills, leaving his doppelgänger in charge of Tai'an Island while he transformed into a new face and traveled through the teleportation array towards the northeastern corner of Cunyun Sea.
zì jǐ zé shì yòu biàn huàn le fù miàn kǒng ， tōng guò chuán sòng zhèn ， cháo zhe cóng yún hǎi zuì dōng běi jiǎo gǎn qù 。
自己则是又变幻了副面孔，通过传送阵，朝着丛云海最东北角赶去。
His destination was Yin Yuzhen's island.
mù dì dì ， zì rán shì yīn yīn shàng rén suǒ zài de yīn yīn dǎo le 。
目的地，自然是殷殷上人所在的殷殷岛了。
Among all people Li Fan cared about in Cunyun Sea, Yin Yuzhen was one of them. Not only had his previous self verified that The Sitting Mountain Technique could be used to build a foundation, but there were still some flaws needing refinement.
zhěng gè cóng yún hǎi ， lǐ fán zài yì de rén bù duō 。
整个丛云海，李凡在意的人不多。
What most interested Li Fan was that after over a decade of studying the Immortal-Demon Mist, Yin Yuzhen chose to end his life. Even ants try to survive.
yīn shàng rén jué duì shì qí zhōng zhī yī 。
殷上人绝对是其中之一。
In theory, someone like Yin Yuzhen would not easily give up their life.
bù jǐn jǐn shì tā gǎn wù chū de nà tào 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】， shàng yī shì jīng guò sū zhǎng yù yàn zhèng ， què shí kě xíng 。
不仅仅是他感悟出的那套【以我筑基】，上一世经过苏长玉验证，确实可行。
But he did, which could only mean one thing: He truly understood the secrets of the Immortal-Demon Mist and found it unacceptable. With all hope lost, he chose to die.
zhǐ shì réng rán yǒu xiē xǔ xiá cī ， xū yào wán shàn 。
只是仍然有些许瑕疵，需要完善。
Li Fan was equally intrigued by this secret.
zuì ràng lǐ fán zài yì de ， shì tā jīng guò shí duō nián duì xiān fán zhàng de yán jiū ， jū rán zuì zhōng huì xuǎn zé zì wǒ liǎo duàn 。
最让李凡在意的，是他经过十多年对仙凡瘴的研究，居然最终会选择自我了断。
After three days, Li Fan quietly arrived at Yin Yuzhen's island.
lóu yǐ shàng qiě tōu shēng 。
蝼蚁尚且偷生。
The cries of ordinary people echoed far and wide.
xiàng yīn shàng rén zhè zhǒng chī rén ， lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng ， gèng shì bú huì qīng yì fàng qì zì jǐ de xìng mìng 。
像殷上人这种痴人，理论上来讲，更是不会轻易放弃自己的性命。
Li Fan did not intend to disturb Yin Yuzhen but only planned to use the Formless Killer Mechanism for surveillance.
dàn tā piān piān zhè me zuò le ， nà zhǐ néng shuō míng yì diǎn 。
但他偏偏这么做了，那只能说明一点。
But the result shocked him.
tā zuì hòu zhēn de dòng xī le xiān fán zhàng de ào mì ， bìng qiě zhè ge jié guǒ ràng tā nán yǐ jiē shòu 。
他最后真的洞悉了仙凡瘴的奥秘，并且这个结果让他难以接受。
As the Formless Killer Mechanism locked onto Yin Yuzhen, the perspective suddenly split into hundreds of views.
wàn niàn jù huī zhī xià ， shī qù le jì xù huó xià qù de dòng lì 。
万念俱灰之下，失去了继续活下去的动力。
Apart from the one focused on conducting experiments on the ground, all others saw broken and disfigured corpses in the basement that looked identical to Yin Yuzhen.
tā cái huì xuǎn zé *** ér wáng 。
他才会选择***而亡。
Under the vast expanse of heaven and earth, Li Fan realized these seemingly dead bodies were actually still alive. Occasionally, they would move slightly or roll their eyes.
lǐ fán tóng yàng duì zhè ge ào mì ， hěn gǎn xìng qù 。
李凡同样对这个奥秘，很感兴趣。
Li Fan felt as if these corpses were 'thinking.'
huā le sān tiān shí jiān ， lǐ fán qiāo qiāo lái dào le yīn yīn dǎo wài 。
花了三天时间，李凡悄悄来到了殷殷岛外。
This eerie scene made him feel uneasy.
yuǎn yuǎn jiù chuán lái fán rén cǐ qǐ bǐ fú de āi háo zhī shēng 。
远远就传来凡人此起彼伏的哀嚎之声。
"The Formless Killer Mechanism's perspective split, meaning to the heavens, these living corpses are essentially the same as Yin Yuzhen."
lǐ fán méi yǒu dǎ suàn jīng dòng yīn shàng rén ， ér shì zhǐ zhǔn bèi fàng chū wú xiāng shā jī jìn xíng jiān shì 。
李凡没有打算惊动殷上人，而是只准备放出无相杀机进行监视。
Thinking this, Li Fan grew more serious. He remembered Yin Yuzhen dissecting over a hundred bodies in the basement before finally understanding The Sitting Mountain Technique.
dàn jié guǒ ， què ràng tā dà chī yī jīng 。
但结果，却让他大吃一惊。
Given the current situation, it was highly likely that he had been dissecting himself while still conscious.
wú xiāng shā jī suǒ dìng yīn shàng rén de chà nà ， shì jiǎo què shì dǒu rán fēn liè chéng le shù bǎi fèn 。
无相杀机锁定殷上人的刹那，视角却是陡然分裂成了数百份。
"True madness..."
chú le zhèng zài jù jīng huì shén zhǔ chí shì yàn de dì miàn shàng de nà wèi 。
除了正在聚精会神主持试验的地面上的那位。
"No wonder he could understand such an unprecedented technique like The Sitting Mountain Technique."
qí yú kàn dào de ， jiē shì wèi yú dì xià shì zhōng de 、 hé yīn shàng rén xiàng mào wán quán xiāng tóng 、 cán pò bù kān de shī tǐ 。
其余看到的，皆是位于地下室中的、和殷上人相貌完全相同、残破不堪的尸体。
"If he had focused on cultivation, he might have easily reached the realm of union with Dao."
tiān dì shì jiǎo xià ， lǐ fán fā xiàn ， zhè xiē zhī lí pò suì 、 kàn shàng qù sǐ de bù néng zài sǐ de shī tǐ ， qí shí jìng rán dōu hái huó zhe ！
天地视角下，李凡发现，这些支离破碎、看上去死的不能再死的尸体，其实竟然都还活着！
"Pity his obsession with the Immortal-Demon Mist led him here."
jìng jìng tǎng zài dì xià shì de tóng shí ， tā men ǒu ěr huì wēi bù kě jué de fān dòng shēn tǐ 、 zhuǎn dòng yǎn zhū 。
静静躺在地下室的同时，他们偶尔会微不可觉的翻动身体、转动眼珠。
Staring at the only Yin Yuzhen who was still active, Li Fan couldn't help but marvel.
lǐ fán kàn zhe tā men de yǎn jīng ， shèn zhì
李凡看着他们的眼睛，甚至
Throughout this life, he had seen many so-called geniuses. Even Chapter Master Qian Hong's wish to suppress all time and Bai Xiansheng's transformation from a mere mortal to a divine being in an instant were figures that could be remembered for countless lifetimes.
mào chū le zhè xiē shī tǐ sì hū dōu zhèng zài 「 sī kǎo 」 de niàn tou 。
冒出了这些尸体似乎都正在「思考」的念头。
But Yin Yuzhen with his Foundation Establishment cultivation seemed even more sinister than them.
zhè guǐ yì de yí mù ， ràng lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǒu diǎn fā máo 。
这诡异的一幕，让李凡心中有点发毛。
Li Fan spied on Yin Yuzhen for several days outside the island. The cultivator worked tirelessly, conducting experiments and making notes before repeating the process. He showed no signs of weariness but only deep immersion.
「 wú xiāng shā jī de suǒ dìng shì jiǎo jìn xíng le fēn liè ， yě jiù shì shuō ， zài tiān dì kàn lái ， zhè xiē huó zhe de shī tǐ qí shí hé yīn shàng rén dōu shì tóng yī gè rén 。」
「无相杀机的锁定视角进行了分裂，也就是说，在天地看来，这些活着的尸体其实和殷上人都是同一个人。」
Every time Yin Yuzhen entered a state of contemplation, the expressions of thought on the hundreds of corpses in the basement became more pronounced.
lǐ fán zhè me xiǎng zhe ， yuè fā níng zhòng 。
李凡这么想着，越发凝重。
"Equivalent to several hundred minds thinking at once..."
tā kě shì jì de ， yīn shàng rén shuō guò ， tā shì jiě pōu le zhè dì xià shì de shàng bǎi jù shī tǐ ， zuì zhōng cái lǐng wù chū 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 de 。
他可是记得，殷上人说过，他是解剖了这地下室的上百具尸体，最终才领悟出【以我筑基】的。
Li Fan realized.
nà zhào xiàn zài de qíng kuàng lái kàn ， tā jí yǒu kě néng shì zài 「 zì jǐ 」 hái bǎo yǒu yì shí de qíng kuàng xià ， yī jù yī jù dì bǎ 「 zì jǐ 」 gěi jiě pōu le 。
那照现在的情况来看，他极有可能是在「自己」还保有意识的情况下，一具一具地把「自己」给解剖了。
"This might be why he could unravel the secrets of the Immortal-Demon Mist."
「 zhēn zhèng de fēng zi ……」
「真正的疯子……」
Recalling his previous life's conversation with Yin Yuzhen and Su Changyu, Li Fan asked himself,
「 nán guài kě yǐ lǐng wù chū 【 yǐ wǒ zhù jī 】 zhè děng kān chēng nì tiān de fǎ mén 。」
「难怪可以领悟出【以我筑基】这等堪称逆天的法门。」
"Yes, where did these corpses come from?"
「 ruò shì tā yǒu xīn yú xiū xíng ， kǒng pà hé dào jìng jiè dōu tuò shǒu kě dé 。」
「若是他有心于修行，恐怕合道境界都唾手可得。」
"Oh! I remember now!"
「 zhǐ kě xī chén nì yú xiān fán zhàng de yán jiū zhōng le 。」
「只可惜沉溺于仙凡瘴的研究中了。」
"It was a huge rain! Countless bodies fell like raindrops from the sky. I took advantage of it to gather some..."
lǐ fán dīng zhe wéi yī hái néng zhèng cháng huó dòng de yīn shàng rén ， bù jīn fā chū yī zhèn jīng tàn 。
李凡盯着唯一还能正常活动的殷上人，不禁发出一阵惊叹。
Li Fan narrowed his eyes: "Hundreds of corpses picked up during a heavy rain? All of them me?"
tā lún huí zhè me shì yǐ lái ， jiàn dào le xǔ xǔ duō duō de suǒ wèi tiān cái 。
他轮回这么世以来，见到了许许多多的所谓天才。
It truly was an extraordinary matter.
shèn zhì zhāng shī xiōng hóng yuàn fǎ shēn zhèn yā wàn gǔ 、 bái xiān shēng fán rén yī shùn huà shén ， zhè xiē dōu shì néng gòu bǎi shì liú míng de cún zài 。
甚至章师兄宏愿法身镇压万古、白先生凡人一瞬化神，这些都是能够百世留名的存在。
After much thought, Li Fan could not find any similar cases in the ancient secrets he had seen before and decided to set it aside for now.
dàn gěi lǐ fán de gǎn jué ， què dōu bù rú zhè wèi zhù jī xiū wèi de yīn shàng rén lái de xié xìng 。
但给李凡的感觉，却都不如这位筑基修为的殷上人来的邪性。
He continued to spy on Yin Yuzhen for several more days until the ordinary people on Yin Yuzhen's island were no longer sufficient as test subjects. When Yin Yuzhen was about to leave to seek new subjects, Li Fan quietly left.
lǐ fán yīn yīn dǎo wài tōu kuī le shù rì 。
李凡殷殷岛外偷窥了数日。
"Keep an eye on him. The Secret Art of Transforming into One will not affect my regular cultivation."
zhè yīn shàng rén fǎng fú bù zhī pí juàn de jī qì yì bān ， shì yàn 、 jì lù 、 sī kǎo 。
这殷上人仿佛不知疲倦的机器一般，试验、记录、思考。
Li Fan looked at Yin Yuzhen's hurried back and transformed back into his 'Heavenly Mechanism Sect cultivator' appearance before returning to the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals.
zài chóng fù shì yàn 。
再重复试验。
After consuming an Enlightenment Pill, he activated the [Awakening Spirit] state and closed himself off for intensive practice.
liǎn shàng méi yǒu sī háo de yàn juàn ， zhǐ yǒu shēn shēn de chén mí 。
脸上没有丝毫的厌倦，只有深深的沉迷。
With dual benefits, even though The Sitting Mountain Technique was extremely difficult to master, Li Fan made rapid progress.
lǐ fán hái kàn dào ， měi dāng yīn shàng rén xiàn rù sī kǎo de shí hòu 。
李凡还看到，每当殷上人陷入思考的时候。
Two months later, as a refined essence suddenly appeared in his dantian, Li Fan woke up from his seclusion.
"Speaking of it, thisHeaven-devouring, Earth-eating Great Technique is quite similar to the [Return Origin Snail]."
"Both can devour earth veins without any restraint."
"It seems that many ancient techniques were created by imitating strange beasts from the past."
Li Fan recalled his experiences in the Museum of All Techniques' [Contest of a Thousand Methods] area, pondering thoughtfully.

With this in mind, Li Fan shook his head.
"Pity that I won't have the chance in this world. I am about to breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm, and The Sitting Mountain Technique has already reached its limit. Pushing it further is urgent."
The face of a young, carefree cultivator flashed before Li Fan's mind.
It was Han Yi from his previous life, who had successfully obtained the Derivation Jewel by using the Heaven Capital Feather-Transforming Pill to extend his lifespan for eight hundred years and then tricked in the Foundation Establishment Master.
"One step at a time. To push The Sitting Mountain Technique to the realm of union with Dao requires stealing this person's fortune."
"But something seems off about him. He doesn't look like someone with strong fate."
"In my previous life, I went to explore the Heaven Capital ruins with his doppelgänger. We didn't find anything and faced numerous dangers, nearly losing our lives."
