「 zhè shì ……」
「这是……」
"Is this..."
「 hé zhèng hào tū pò dào zhù jī hòu qī le ？」
「何正浩突破到筑基后期了？」
"Has He Zhenghao突破to the late Foundation Establishment stage already?"
wēi wēi gǎn yìng zhī xià ， lǐ fán yǒu xiē jīng yà 。
微微感应之下，李凡有些惊讶。
Li Fan was slightly surprised after a slight感应.
「 cái liǎng gè duō yuè shí jiān ， zhè ge sù dù ， bǐ qǐ tā shàng yī shì hái yào kuài xiē 。」
「才两个多月时间，这个速度，比起他上一世还要快些。」
"Just over two months, and his progress is even faster than in my previous life."
「 fā shēng le shén me ？」
「发生了什么？」
"What happened?"
chá kàn le fān huà dào shí jīng tǐ zhōng bǎo cún de hé zhèng hào jiān shì huà miàn ， lǐ fán bù jīn yǒu xiē yǎ rán shī xiào 。
查看了番化道石晶体中保存的何正浩监视画面，李凡不禁有些哑然失笑。
After reviewing the surveillance footage of He Zhenghao stored within the transformed Daoist Stone crystal, Li Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
zuì jìn hé zhèng hào zhēn kě wèi shì chūn fēng dé yì 。
最近何正浩真可谓是春风得意。
Recently, He Zhenghao truly had been enjoying great success. The news that he had received guidance from a senior of the Celestial Fate Sect had spread like wildfire in the Cunyun Sea.
tā yīn wèi huò dé 「 tiān jī zōng qián bèi zhǐ diǎn 「， cóng ér nì tiān gǎi mìng de xiāo xī zài cóng yún hǎi kě wèi shì bù jìng ér zǒu 。
他因为获得「天机宗前辈指点「，从而逆天改命的消息在丛云海可谓是不胫而走。
Due to his early efforts to cultivate the "Sitting Mountain Technique" and build connections, He Zhenghao had already established a wide network of allies long before. His array formation talent also allowed him to maintain good relations with the various array masters at the Strategy Array Hall.
zhī qián yīn wèi xiū xíng 《 zuò shān jué 》 de yuán gù ， hé zhèng hào hěn zǎo jiù kāi shǐ jiù guǎng jié shàn yuán ， fā zhǎn rén mài 。
之前因为修行《坐山诀》的缘故，何正浩很早就开始就广结善缘，发展人脉。
Despite only being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he couldn't be underestimated in terms of his social network. Li Fan himself had been able to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance thanks to He Zhenghao's efforts!
ér yóu yú tā běn rén de zhèn fǎ tiān fù què shí bù cuò de yuán yīn ， cè zhèn táng de zhū wèi zhèn fǎ shī gēn tā guān xì yě dōu shàng kě 。
而由于他本人的阵法天赋确实不错的原因，策阵堂的诸位阵法师跟他关系也都尚可。
This time, through sheer luck, He Zhenghao had chosen an alchemy technique that perfectly suited him.
suǒ yǐ bié kàn hé zhèng hào zhǐ shì yí gè zhù jī xiū shì ， dàn tā de rén jì guān xì wǎng ， zhe shí bù néng xiǎo qù 。
所以别看何正浩只是一个筑基修士，但他的人际关系网，着实不能小觑。
It was clear to everyone that with no major setbacks, he would surely achieve the Inner Core realm.
qián shì lǐ fán néng gòu rù zhí wàn xiān méng ， hái shì kào de tā hé zhèng hào de shǒu bǐ ne ！
前世李凡能够入职万仙盟，还是靠的他何正浩的手笔呢！
With his skills as a master of array formations and his social prowess, He Zhenghao's status among others had changed dramatically. Visitors came one after another, and He Zhenghao welcomed them all with open arms, receiving gifts left and right, which greatly pleased him.
zhè cì hé zhèng hào jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià ， gǎi xiū le gēn tā jí wéi qì hé de yuán yīng gōng fǎ 。
这次何正浩机缘巧合之下，改修了跟他极为契合的元婴功法。
His cultivation also advanced rapidly, reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage in no time.
míng yǎn rén dōu kàn de chū ， zhǐ yào bù chū shén me dà de biàn gù ， hé zhèng hào chéng jiù yuán yīng jìng jiè ， kě wèi shì bǎn shàng dìng dīng de shì qíng le 。
明眼人都看的出，只要不出什么大的变故，何正浩成就元婴境界，可谓是板上钉钉的事情了。
During this process, many cultivators began to inquire about the ancient Celestial Fate Sect practitioner mentioned by He Zhenghao. After all, his status had doubled overnight; who wouldn't be envious?
yuán yīng jí bié de zhèn fǎ dà shī ， hái shì cháng xiù shàn wǔ de jiāo jì néng rén 。
元婴级别的阵法大师，还是长袖善舞的交际能人。
If they could just attach themselves to him...
zhè xià zhòng rén yǎn zhōng hé zhèng hào de dì wèi kě zhēn shì jié rán bù tóng le 。
这下众人眼中何正浩的地位可真是截然不同了。
At first, He Zhenghao could use excuses like "We haven't spoken in a long time" and "I never saw this senior again." However, as the number of inquiring cultivators increased and their statuses grew higher, He Zhenghao found himself struggling.
qián lái chuàn mén de rén luò yì bù jué ， hé zhèng hào shì lái zhe bù jù ， quán dōu xiào xī xī de rè qíng jiē dài 。
前来串门的人络绎不绝，何正浩是来着不拒，全都笑嘻嘻的热情接待。
His refusal to reveal any information about the Celestial Fate Sect practitioner had already begun to upset some cultivators. Accusations that he was hoarding all the benefits for himself started to surface.
suí lǐ shōu dào shǒu ruǎn ， xīn qíng shū chàng wú bǐ 。
随礼收到手软，心情舒畅无比。
Even the Inner Core array master Chu Ming who had helped Li Fan join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance through his connections, began asking He Zhenghao after failing to contact Li Fan.
xiū wèi yě shì yī rì qiān lǐ ， hěn kuài jiù tū pò dào le zhù jī hòu qī 。
修为也是一日千里，很快就突破到了筑基后期。
"Alas," He Zhenghao truly didn't know where Li Fan was. He couldn't reach him via the Celestial Mirror, and there were no communication spirit tokens left by the other party. Faced with increasing pressure from cultivators, He Zhenghao was practically on the verge of tears. He wished he could slap himself for going around showing off two months ago.
zài zhè ge guò chéng zhōng ， qián lái bài fǎng de xiū shì men ， yě bù kě bì miǎn de xiàng hé zhèng hào dǎ tàn qǐ lái yǒu guān yú nà wèi 「 shàng gǔ tiān jī zōng xiū shì 」 de xiāo xī 。
在这个过程中，前来拜访的修士们，也不可避免的向何正浩打探起来有关于那位「上古天机宗修士」的消息。
Looking at the constant greetings from the Celestial Mirror, Li Fan's lips curled into a smile.
bì jìng yī tiān zhī jiān ， shēn jià fān bèi 。
毕竟一天之间，身价翻倍。
"Let it simmer for a bit longer; the atmosphere is almost perfect."
zhè yàng de hǎo shì shuí bù yǎn hóng ？
这样的好事谁不眼红？
"A half million contribution points should be enough to support my first stage plan."
ruò shì tā men yě néng bào shàng zhè wèi de dà tuǐ ……
若是他们也能抱上这位的大腿……
"But for now, I'll let He Daoist handle this."
qǐ chū ， hé zhèng hào hái néng yòng 「 zuì jìn xǔ jiǔ méi yǒu lián xì le 」「 wǒ zhī hòu zài yě méi jiàn guò zhè wèi qián bèi 」 děng jiè kǒu fū yǎn guò qù 。
起初，何正浩还能用「最近许久没有联系了」「我之后再也没见过这位前辈」等借口敷衍过去。
Li Fan then sensed the situation with the Foundation Establishment masters.
bù guò hòu lái ， suí zhe xún wèn de xiū shì shù liàng yuè lái yuè duō 、 dì wèi yě yuè lái yuè gāo ， hé zhèng hào yě màn màn yǒu diǎn dǐng bú zhù le 。
不过后来，随着询问的修士数量越来越多、地位也越来越高，何正浩也慢慢有点顶不住了。
Li Chenfeng had returned, accompanied by a veiled woman in a green dress. The three of them showed great respect towards her and referred to her as "Holy Master." Since arriving in the Xuanhuang Realm, she hadn't left the secret room on the island.
yīn wèi tā shǐ zhōng bù kěn tòu lù zhè wèi tiān jī zōng xiū shì de bàn diǎn xiāo xī ， yǐ jīng kāi shǐ yǐn qǐ le yī xiē xiū shì de bù mǎn 。
因为他始终不肯透露这位天机宗修士的半点消息，已经开始引起了一些修士的不满。
When Li Fan entered the secret room with Li Chenfeng, he saw that she was fiddling with a machine resembling a celestial globe.
guān yú hé zhèng hào 「 chī dú shí 」 de zhǐ zé ， yě màn màn duō le qǐ lái 。
关于何正浩「吃独食」的指责，也慢慢多了起来。
"Is this Holy Master?"
shèn zhì zhī qián hé zhèng hào tuō guān xì zhǎo dào de 、 nà wèi bāng lǐ fán jiā rù wàn xiān méng de bù zhèng táng yuán yīng xiū shì chǔ míng ， zài shǐ zhōng lián xì bú dào lǐ fán zhī hòu 。
甚至之前何正浩托关系找到的、那位帮李凡加入万仙盟的布政堂元婴修士楚洺，在始终联系不到李凡之后。
"There's something interesting here. Since our three-month agreement has ended, let me meet her as the 'Ambassador of the Ten Thousand Realms Alliance.'"
yě kāi shǐ xún wèn qǐ le hé zhèng hào 。
也开始询问起了何正浩。
Li Fan didn't sense any danger from the veiled woman in green; instead, he felt an unfamiliarity that was faint but unmistakable.
tiān kě lián jiàn ， tā hé zhèng hào shì zhēn bù zhī dào lǐ fán qù nǎ le a ！
天可怜见，他何正浩是真不知道李凡去哪了啊！
Even after searching through his memories stored within the transformed Daoist Stone, Li Fan couldn't pinpoint its origin. This made him more intrigued.
tiān xuán jìng zhōng lián xì bù shàng 。
天玄镜中联系不上。
He changed back to his original appearance and flew towards their destination.
tōng xùn líng fú duì fāng yě méi liú yí gè 。
通讯灵符对方也没留一个。
Soon enough, he arrived above the island.
miàn duì yuè lái yuè duō xiū shì de yā lì ， hé zhèng hào kě zhēn shì jí de kuài kū le 。
面对越来越多修士的压力，何正浩可真是急的快哭了。
Upon closer inspection, he found that Li Chenfeng and company were already waiting at the entrance.
hèn bù dé gěi liǎng gè yuè qián de zì jǐ yí gè zuǐ bā 。
恨不得给两个月前的自己一个嘴巴。
"Senior, please follow us."
ràng nǐ méi shì qù dào chù xiā xuàn yào ！
让你没事去到处瞎炫耀！
Li Chenfeng whispered as he led Li Fan into the secret room.
kàn zhe tiān xuán jìng zhōng hé zhèng hào bù duàn fā lái de wèn hòu ， lǐ fán zuǐ jiǎo wēi wān 。
看着天玄镜中何正浩不断发来的问候，李凡嘴角微弯。
Li Fan's expression remained calm, but his guard was up.
「 zài yùn niàng yī duàn shí jiān ， qì fēn jiù chà bu duō le 。」
「再酝酿一段时间，气氛就差不多了。」
"Who is this?"
「 wǔ bǎi wàn gòng xiàn dù ， zú gòu wǒ chēng qǐ dì yī jiē duàn jì huà 。」
「五百万贡献度，足够我撑起第一阶段计划。」
"This old man has been sent by the Empress to verify whether the so-called 'Immortal Ruins' exist," the veiled woman in green said with a clear and enchanting voice that sounded like that of a young girl.
「 bù guò xiàn zài ， hái shì zài ràng hé dào yǒu dǐng yī dǐng ba 。」
「不过现在，还是再让何道友顶一顶吧。」
"Oh? So you've figured it out?" Li Fan looked curiously at the device before her.
lǐ fán yòu gǎn yìng le fān zhù jī dà shī nà biān de qíng kuàng 。
李凡又感应了番筑基大师那边的情况。
In the center was an unchanging golden ball, surrounded by many differently colored balls moving irregularly along various tracks.
lǐ chén fēng yǐ jīng fǎn huí 。
李晨风已经返回。
The veiled woman shook her head and sighed: "There seems to be something masking the existence of the 'Immortal Ruins,' making it impossible to detect."
gēn tā yì qǐ de ， hái yǒu yī wèi shēn chuān qīng sè zhǎng qún de méng miàn nǚ zǐ 。
跟他一起的，还有一位身穿青色长裙的蒙面女子。
"However, this place has become even more abnormal."
lǐ chén fēng sān rén duì zhè wèi nǚ zǐ jí wéi zūn jìng ， chēng qí wèi 【 shèng shī 】。
李晨风三人对这位女子极为尊敬，称其为【圣师】。
Li Fan narrowed his eyes. "More abnormal here?"
zì cóng lái dào xuán huáng jiè hòu ， zhè wèi shèng shī jiù méi yǒu lí kāi guò dǎo shàng de nà jiān mì shì 。
自从来到玄黄界后，这位圣师就没有离开过岛上的那间密室。
The veiled woman waved a hand, retracting the device.
lǐ chén fēng jìn chū mì shì de shí hòu ， lǐ fán dé yǐ kàn dào ， tā zhèng zài mì shì zhōng bǎi nòng zhe yí gè lèi sì yú hún tiān yí de jī qì zhuāng zhì 。
李晨风进出密室的时候，李凡得以看到，她正在密室中摆弄着一个类似于浑天仪的机器装置。
"This is an instrument that took millennia for the Empire to create—the 'Celestial Grid Positioning Instrument.' It can mark and lock onto its own position in infinite space while mapping the surrounding environment," she explained.
「 shèng shī ？」
「圣师？」
"Originally intended for navigation through the void after leaving the Xuanhuang Realm."
「 yǒu diǎn yì si 。 zhèng hǎo yuē dìng de sān gè yuè shí jiān yǐ dào ， jiù ràng wǒ zhè wèi 【
「有点意思。正好约定的三个月时间已到，就让我这位【
"Now used to probe the 'Immortal Ruins,' it's a good use of resources."
wàn jiè lián hé huì shǐ zhě 】， qù huì yī huì tā 。」
万界联合会使者】，去会一会她。」
Li Fan listened quietly as the veiled woman continued.
cóng zhè wèi qīng yī nǚ zǐ de shēn shàng ， lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu gǎn dào wēi xiǎn 。
从这位青衣女子的身上，李凡并没有感到危险。
"In this place, the Xuanhuang Realm's main world..." her eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.
fǎn ér yǐn yǐn jué de mǒu zhǒng shú xī gǎn chuán lái 。
反而隐隐觉得某种熟悉感传来。
"The data from the positioning instrument is all chaotic."
zhè gǔ shú xī gǎn jí dàn ， nǎ pà lǐ fán fān zhǎo le huà dào shí zhōng cún chǔ de jì yì ， yě méi néng fā xiàn cóng hé ér lái 。
这股熟悉感极淡，哪怕李凡翻找了化道石中存储的记忆，也没能发现从何而来。
"Seems there are massive distortions in the surrounding space-time, affecting the mapping results."
zhè ràng lǐ fán gèng jué yǒu qù 。
这让李凡更觉有趣。
"From a theoretical standpoint, the observation aligns with your description of the 'Immortal Ruins' that devours everything," Li Fan said coldly.
dāng xià biàn huí nà rì yàng mào ， cháo zhe mù biāo dì diǎn fēi chí ér qù 。
当下变回那日样貌，朝着目标地点飞驰而去。
"I have no need to deceive you on this matter."
bù duō shí ， biàn lái dào le dǎo yǔ shàng kōng 。
不多时，便来到了岛屿上空。
The veiled woman smiled wryly: "No, you did deceive us."
dìng jīng yī kàn ， lǐ chén fēng sān rén ， yǐ jīng zài mén kǒu děng hòu le 。
定睛一看，李晨风三人，已经在门口等候了。
Li Fan's eyes narrowed as a sudden tension gripped his heart.
「 qián bèi ， qǐng suí wǒ men lái 。」
「前辈，请随我们来。」
"What do you mean?"
lǐ chén fēng dī shēng shuō dào ， jiāng lǐ fán yǐn rù mì shì zhōng 。
李晨风低声说道，将李凡引入密室中。
The veiled woman looked up at the Xuanhuang sky and said slowly: "Even if the 'Immortal Ruins' does exist, we won't be devoured after leaving the Xuanhuang Realm."
lǐ fán miàn sè rú cháng ， xīn zhōng què shì dǎ qǐ jǐ fēn jǐng tì 。
李凡面色如常，心中却是打起几分警惕。
"Not just us; none of the small worlds captured by the Ten Thousand Dao Sects will suffer this fate either."
dīng zhe zuò zài bù yuǎn chù ， kàn bù qīng róng mào de nǚ zǐ ， wèn dào ：「 zhè wèi shì ？」
盯着坐在不远处，看不清容貌的女子，问道：「这位是？」
Li Fan remained silent.
「 lǎo xiǔ shì shòu dì nǚ zhī tuō ， qián lái kàn yī kàn ， suǒ wèi de 【 xiān xū 】 shì fǒu shǔ shí 。」 qīng yī nǚ zǐ suī rán zì chēng lǎo xiǔ ， dàn shì shēng yīn qīng cuì dòng rén ， gēn shí jǐ suì de shào nǚ yì bān 。
「老朽是受帝女之托，前来看一看，所谓的【仙墟】是否属实。」青衣女子虽然自称老朽，但是声音清脆动人，跟十几岁的少女一般。
The veiled woman continued. "Because we are not in the same space-time as the Xuanhuang Realm."
「 ó ？ jì rú cǐ ， kàn chū lái le ma ？」 lǐ fán ráo yǒu xìng qù de dǎ liàng zhe nǚ zǐ miàn qián de zhè tái zhuāng zhì 。
「哦？既如此，看出来了嘛？」李凡饶有兴趣的打量着女子面前的这台装置。
"Only connected through the Immortal Ruin Passages."
zhōng yāng yí gè jīn sè yuán qiú bù dòng ， zhōu wéi xǔ xǔ duō duō 、 bù tóng yán sè de qiú tǐ ， àn zhào bù tóng de guǐ dào ， rào zhe tā zuò bù guī lǜ yùn dòng 。
中央一个金色圆球不动，周围许许多多、不同颜色的球体，按照不同的轨道，绕着它做不规律运动。
"If we sever our connection with the Xuanhuang Realm, we will gain complete freedom."
qīng yī nǚ zǐ yáo tóu wēi tàn ：「 shì yǒu shén me zhē yǎn le 【 xiān xū 】 cún zài ， wú fǎ tàn cè 。」
青衣女子摇头微叹：「似有什么遮掩了【仙墟】存在，无法探测。」
"While the Xuanhuang Realm will face its ultimate destruction."
"Is this..."
"Has He Zhenghao突破to the late Foundation Establishment stage already?"
Li Fan was slightly surprised after a slight感应.
"Just over two months, and his progress is even faster than in my previous life."
"What happened?"
After reviewing the surveillance footage of He Zhenghao stored within the transformed Daoist Stone crystal, Li Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
Recently, He Zhenghao truly had been enjoying great success. The news that he had received guidance from a senior of the Celestial Fate Sect had spread like wildfire in the Cunyun Sea.
