hōng míng shēng bù duàn zài ěr biān huí xiǎng ， yǎn qián de jǐng xiàng yě shì bù duàn zài xuán zhuǎn ， kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
轰鸣声不断在耳边回响，眼前的景象也是不断在旋转，看不清楚。
The rumbling echoed in his ears, and the scene before him spun, making it hard to discern anything clearly.
guò le xǔ jiǔ ， lǐ fán cái cóng zhè yì cháng zhōng huī fù guò lái 。
过了许久，李凡才从这异常中恢复过来。
After a long while, Li Fan recovered from this abnormality.
“ dì yī cì zuò chuán sòng zhèn dōu zhè yàng ， xí guàn jiù hǎo 。” hé zhèng hào suí kǒu jiě shì dào 。
“第一次坐传送阵都这样，习惯就好。”何正浩随口解释道。
"The first time you ride a transmission array, it's like this. Just get used to it," He Zhenghao casually explained.
lǐ fán mēn shēng diǎn tóu ， guān chá zhe sì zhōu jǐng sè 。
李凡闷声点头，观察着四周景色。
Li Fan nodded silently as he observed his surroundings.
mù qián suǒ zài chù sì hū shì gè dà xíng de guǎng chǎng 。
目前所在处似乎是个大型的广场。
The current location seemed to be a large square. At the front of the square stood an enormous statue of an elderly man with long hair and a high crown.
guǎng chǎng zuì qián fāng ， chù lì zhe yī zuò jù dà de diāo xiàng 。
广场最前方，矗立着一座巨大的雕像。
Beneath the statue, the square was filled with thousands of stone statues in various shapes and sizes.
shì yí gè tóu dài gāo guān de zhǎng xū lǎo zhě 。
是一个头带高冠的长须老者。
Every one of these stone statues looked up at the old man with long hair.
diāo xiàng zhī xià ， guǎng chǎng zhōng ， tóng shí hái bù mǎn le dà dà xiǎo xiǎo ， shàng wàn zūn zào xíng gè yì de shí xiàng 。
雕像之下，广场中，同时还布满了大大小小，上万尊造型各异的石像。
The transmission array Li Fan had just emerged from was right in front of one of those statues.
shàng wàn zūn shí xiàng wú yī lì wài ， quán dōu tái tóu yǎng wàng zhe zhǎng xū lǎo zhě 。
上万尊石像无一例外，全都抬头仰望着长须老者。
"This is the Transmission Square. It was built to commemorate when the Immortal Sage imparted teachings. Each outpost of our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has such a square," He Zhenghao explained.
ér lǐ fán chū lái de zhè ge chuán sòng zhèn ， jiù zài qí zhōng yī zūn shí xiàng de qián fāng 。
而李凡出来的这个传送阵，就在其中一尊石像的前方。
Recalling the scene described in "Five Sensory Essence Technique" where the Immortal Sage taught and transformed ordinary beings, Li Fan stared at the statue for a long time before nodding silently.
“ zhè lǐ shì chuán fǎ guǎng chǎng 。 shì wèi le jì niàn dāng chū xiān zūn chuán dào suǒ jiàn zào ， wǒ wàn xiān méng měi gè zhù dì ， dōu yǒu zhe zhè yàng yī zuò guǎng chǎng 。” hé zhèng hào jiè shào dào 。
“这里是传法广场。是为了纪念当初仙尊传道所建造，我万仙盟每个驻地，都有着这样一座广场。”何正浩介绍道。
"Flight is allowed on this island, but remember not to fly above the Immortal Sage's statue. Otherwise, you will be attacked by the Great Desolation Array. Even if you are in Foundation Establishment Realm, it could still lead to your death," He Zhenghao warned with a serious expression.
xiǎng qǐ 《 wǔ líng gǎn qì fǎ 》 zhōng miáo shù de xiān zūn fǎ tiān xiāng dì 、 chuán dào zhòng shēng de nà yí mù ， lǐ fán níng shì le lǎo zhě diāo xiàng xǔ jiǔ ， mò mò diǎn tóu 。
想起《五灵感气法》中描述的仙尊法天相地、传道众生的那一幕，李凡凝视了老者雕像许久，默默点头。
Li Fan's heart tightened as he committed these warnings to memory.
“ wàn xiān dǎo zhōng bù jīn fēi xíng ， dàn qiè jì gāo dù bù kě chāo guò xiān zūn xiàng 。 fǒu zé bì huì zāo dào wàn xiān dà zhèn gōng jī ， jiù suàn shì yuán yīng jìng ， piàn kè jiān yě yào shēn sǐ dào xiāo 。” hé zhèng hào shén sè yán sù ， zhǔ fù dào 。
“万仙岛中不禁飞行，但切记高度不可超过仙尊像。否则必会遭到万仙大阵攻击，就算是元婴境，片刻间也要身死道消。”何正浩神色严肃，嘱咐道。
"Although flight is not prohibited on the island, I advise you to avoid flying around unless necessary. The entire Cunyun Sea is filled with cultivators, many of whom are Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouses. If they see you flying above them, they might remember it," He Zhenghao whispered as he led Li Fan through the square.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， dùn shí jì zhù le 。
李凡心中一凛，顿时记住了。
Li Fan listened intently, noting these important points for his safety.
“ suī rán dǎo shàng bù jīn zhǐ fēi xíng ， dàn wǒ quàn nǐ méi shì hái shì bú yào luàn fēi de hǎo 。 zhěng gè cóng yún hǎi de xiū shì dōu jù jí zài zhè lǐ ， qí zhōng bù fá jīn dān 、 yuán yīng jìng de qiáng zhě 。 ruò shì nǐ fēi zài tā men tóu dǐng ， rě dào le tā men ， shuō bù dìng biàn huì bèi qí jì zài xīn shàng 。”
“虽然岛上不禁止飞行，但我劝你没事还是不要乱飞的好。整个丛云海的修士都聚集在这里，其中不乏金丹、元婴境的强者。若是你飞在他们头顶，惹到了他们，说不定便会被其记在心上。”
After walking a short distance, they passed through a corridor made of vines into a lush and quiet forest.
“ dào shí hòu gēn zhe nǐ chū le wàn xiān dǎo ， jiāng nǐ suí shǒu dǎ shā ， nǐ gēn rén shuō lǐ de dì fāng dōu méi yǒu 。”
“到时候跟着你出了万仙岛，将你随手打杀，你跟人说理的地方都没有。”
In the center of the forest was a large ancient mirror. Cultivators hurried in and out, passing through the mirror without any clear destination.
hé zhèng hào lǐng zhe lǐ fán ， yī biān xíng zǒu ， yī biān dī shēng jiāo dài zài wàn xiān dǎo shàng xū yào zhù yì de shì xiàng 。
何正浩领着李凡，一边行走，一边低声交代在万仙岛上需要注意的事项。
Others emerged from the mirror and left immediately.
shì guān shēng sǐ ， lǐ fán yě dōu yī yī láo jì zài xīn 。
事关生死，李凡也都一一牢记在心。
"This is our Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror," He Zhenghao said.
zǒu le piàn kè ， èr rén chuān guò yī dào téng wàn biān zhì zì rán xíng chéng de zǒu láng ， lái dào le yī chù lǜ yì àng rán de yōu jìng shù lín zhōng 。
走了片刻，二人穿过一道藤蔓编制自然形成的走廊，来到了一处绿意盎然的幽静树林中。
"Legend has it that before the Immortal Sage imparted teachings, this mirror was just an ordinary one. After he taught, the mirror reflected his form and developed its own willpower. It later learned to cultivate like other cultivators, evolving into a divine treasure."
lín zhōng kòng dì shàng ， bǎi fàng zhe yí miàn páng dà de gǔ piáo jìng zi 。
林中空地上，摆放着一面庞大的古朴镜子。
"The majority of our affairs on the island are handled by this Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror. He has a grudge and can be quite temperamental. Be careful with what you say," He Zhenghao whispered to Li Fan.
bù shí yǒu xiū shì xíng sè cōng cōng ， chuān guò jìng miàn ， bù zhī qián wǎng hé fāng 。
不时有修士行色匆匆，穿过镜面，不知前往何方。
He Zhenghao then led Li Fan into the mirror.
yě yǒu xiū shì cóng jìng zi lǐ chū lái ， jìng zhí lí kāi 。
也有修士从镜子里出来，径直离开。
Upon entering, they found themselves in a separate space devoid of other cultivators.
“ zhè jìng zi jiù shì wǒ men wàn xiān méng de tiān xuán jìng le 。”
“这镜子就是我们万仙盟的天玄镜了。”
It felt as if they were in empty space, surrounded by darkness.
“ chuán shuō dāng chū xiān zūn chuán dào zhī qián ， zhè tiān xuán jìng zhǐ bù guò shì yí miàn pǔ tōng de jìng zi 。 hòu lái xiān zūn shòu dào ， zhè jìng zi yìng zhào xiān zūn fǎ yǐng ， jìng rán dàn shēng le zì jǐ de yī sī yì zhì 。 hòu lái yě xué zhe hé xiū shì yì bān xiū liàn ， cóng yī fán wù ， màn màn jìn huà chéng le rú jīn de tiān dì líng bǎo 。”
“传说当初仙尊传道之前，这天玄镜只不过是一面普通的镜子。后来仙尊授道，这镜子映照仙尊法影，竟然诞生了自己的一丝意志。后来也学着和修士一般修炼，从一凡物，慢慢进化成了如今的天地灵宝。”
"This is new cultivator Li Fan. You are here to join our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance," He Zhenghao pointed out.
“ nǐ wǒ xiū shì zài wàn xiān méng zhōng de dà bù fèn shì wù ， dōu shì yóu zhè tiān xuán jìng lái chǔ lǐ 。 jù shuō zhè jiā huo hěn shì jì chóu ， nǐ yào xiǎo xīn ， bú yào luàn shuō huà 。” hé zhèng hào xiǎo shēng gào jiè lǐ fán 。
“你我修士在万仙盟中的大部分事物，都是由这天玄境来处理。据说这家伙很是记仇，你要小心，不要乱说话。”何正浩小声告诫李凡。
"Referencing one初级炼气 cultivator, recording medium-grade Ding Gong, equivalent to 50 contribution points. Current total: 920 points," a voice sounded from the space.
suí hòu ， hé zhèng hào lā zhe lǐ fán zǒu jìn jìng zhōng 。
随后，何正浩拉着李凡走进镜中。
He Zhenghao's expression remained neutral.
rù mù suǒ jí ， shì yī dān dú de kōng jiān ， méi yǒu jiàn dào qí yú xiū shì de shēn yǐng 。
入目所及，是一单独的空间，没有见到其余修士的身影。
Li Fan thought deeply.
fǎng fú shēn chù xū kōng zhī zhōng ， zuǒ yòu sì zhōu jiē shì xū wú yǔ hēi àn 。
仿佛身处虚空之中，左右四周皆是虚无与黑暗。
After receiving his contribution points, He Zhenghao smiled.
“ cǐ rén nǎi xīn jìn xiū shì ， cǐ cì lái wàn xiān dǎo jiā rù wǒ wàn xiān méng 。” hé zhèng hào zhǐ zhe lǐ fán shuō dào 。
“此人乃新晋修士，此次来万仙岛加入我万仙盟。”何正浩指着李凡说道。
"Since you're here now, I can rest easy. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror. Generally, he will provide detailed information. I need to attend to my duties on the island, so I'll leave," He Zhenghao said before hurrying away.
“ yǐn jiàn yī liàn qì chū qī xiū shì ， jì zhōng děng dīng gōng ， zhé suàn 50 diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。 dāng qián zǒng gòng xiàn dù ：920 diǎn 。” kōng jiān zhōng yí gè shēng yīn xiǎng qǐ 。
“引荐一炼气初期修士，记中等丁功，折算50点贡献度。当前总贡献度：920点。”空间中一个声音响起。
Li Fan was left alone in this space of the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror.
hé zhèng hào shén sè rú cháng 。
何正浩神色如常。
A light flickered and then extinguished around him.
lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ sī 。
李凡若有所思。
"Recorded your mental activity."
hé zhèng hào shōu dào le gòng xiàn diǎn ， miàn yǒu xǐ sè 。
何正浩收到了贡献点，面有喜色。
"Generated a separate space."
“ xiǎo yǒu jì rán yǐ jīng dào le cǐ chù ， nà me wǒ yě néng fàng xià xīn le 。 nǐ yǒu shén me wèn tí ， jǐn guǎn kě yǐ wèn tiān xuán jìng 。 yì bān lái shuō ， tā dū huì xiáng xì gào zhī yǔ nǐ 。 wǒ hái yǒu shǒu dǎo zhí zé zài shēn ， jiù bù duō péi le 。”
“小友既然已经到了此处，那么我也能放下心了。你有什么问题，尽管可以问天玄境。一般来说，他都会详细告之与你。我还有守岛职责在身，就不多陪了。”
"Please state your name."
shuō bà ， hé zhèng hào jiù cōng cōng lí kāi le 。
说罢，何正浩就匆匆离开了。
An unusual voice sounded.
liú xià lǐ fán dān dú yī rén zài zhè tiān xuán jìng zhōng 。
留下李凡单独一人在这天玄境中。
"Li Fan," Li Fan replied.
zhōu wéi hēi àn zhōng shǎn qǐ yī dào liàng guāng ， suí hòu yòu xī miè 。
周围黑暗中闪起一道亮光，随后又熄灭。
"Welcome, cultivator Li Fan. As a gift, you will receive 20 contribution points. You can use these to exchange for spirit stones, mystical techniques, and magical artifacts."
“ yǐ jì lù shén shí bō dòng 。”
“已记录神识波动。”
"You can earn more by submitting resources, completing tasks, or trading with others."
“ yǐ shēng chéng dú lì kōng jiān 。”
“已生成独立空间。”
"Similarly, if you encounter problems that you cannot solve, you can spend your contribution points to post a bounty."
“ xiū shì ， qǐng shuō chū nǐ de míng zì 。”
“修士，请说出你的名字。”
"Your current total: 20."
yī dào yǒu xiē guài yì de shēng yīn xiǎng qǐ 。
一道有些怪异的声音响起。
"As a new member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, you can stay in this space for thirty days free of charge. After that, you will need to pay with contribution points."
“ lǐ fán 。” lǐ fán huí dá dào 。
“李凡。”李凡回答道。
"The accommodation fee is: 10 contribution points every thirty days."
“ xiū shì lǐ fán ， huān yíng jiā rù wàn xiān méng 。 zuò wéi fú lì ， jiāng miǎn fèi zèng sòng nǐ 20 diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。 nǐ kě yǐ shǐ yòng gòng xiàn dù ， duì huàn líng shí 、 gōng fǎ 、 fǎ bǎo děng 。”
“修士李凡，欢迎加入万仙盟。作为福利，将免费赠送你20点贡献度。你可以使用贡献度，兑换灵石、功法、法宝等。”
"Of course, you can also choose to spend your contribution points to buy a personal abode on the island."
“ nǐ kě yǐ tōng guò shàng jiāo wù zī 、 wán chéng rèn wù 、 yǔ rén jiāo yì děng fāng shì huò qǔ gòng xiàn dù 。”
“你可以通过上交物资、完成任务、与人交易等方式获取贡献度。”
The Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror continued its detailed explanation.
“ tóng yàng ， rú yù dào zì jǐ wú fǎ jiě jué de wèn tí ， yě kě yǐ xiāo hào gòng xiàn dù fā bù xuán shǎng 。”
“同样，如遇到自己无法解决的问题，也可以消耗贡献度发布悬赏。”
"If I can't make it in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, can I join the Five Elders Association?" Li Fan asked after a long time.
“ nǐ dí dàng qián zǒng gòng xiàn dù ：20。”
“你的当前总贡献度：20。”
It felt as if someone had choked him. The mirror's response stopped abruptly.
“ zuò wéi xīn jiā rù wàn xiān méng de xiū shì ， nǐ kě yǐ zài wàn xuán jìng zhōng miǎn fèi jū zhù sān shí tiān de shí jiān 。 sān shí tiān hòu ， nǐ xū yào zhī fù gòng xiàn dù cái néng jì xù jū zhù 。”
“作为新加入万仙盟的修士，你可以在万玄镜中免费居住三十天的时间。三十天后，你需要支付贡献度才能继续居住。”
After a moment of silence, the mirror continued: "Once you are part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, you cannot join the Five Elders Association, and vice versa."
“ jū zhù fèi yòng wèi ： měi sān shí tiān 10 diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。”
“居住费用为：每三十天10点贡献度。”
"If violated, both parties will hunt you down together."
“ dāng rán ， nǐ yě kě yǐ xuǎn zé huā fèi gòng xiàn dù zài wàn xiān dǎo shàng gòu mǎi zì jǐ de dòng fǔ 。”
“当然，你也可以选择花费贡献度在万仙岛上购买自己的洞府。”
Li Fan fell silent again.
……
……
"I don't think I agreed to join your alliance," he said.
wàn xuán jìng zī zī bù juàn de xiàng lǐ fán jiǎng shù zhe wàn xiān méng nèi de shēng huó cháng shí 。
万玄镜孜孜不倦的向李凡讲述着万仙盟内的生活常识。
"Entering this space and being recorded means you have voluntarily joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
“ rú guǒ wǒ zài wàn xiān méng hùn bù xià qù ， kě yǐ xuǎn zé lí kāi ， jiā rù wǔ lǎo huì me ？” lǐ fán tīng le xǔ jiǔ ， tū rán wèn dào 。
“如果我在万仙盟混不下去，可以选择离开，加入五老会么？”李凡听了许久，突然问道。
"Can I leave the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and choose to be a wandering cultivator?" Li Fan asked again.
fǎng fú bèi qiā zhù bó zi bān ， wàn xuán jìng huà jiá rán ér zhǐ 。
仿佛被掐住脖子般，万玄镜话戛然而止。
The mirror remained silent for a while before responding: "Yes, but all items obtained from the alliance will be forcibly reclaimed. Please make your decision carefully."
chén mò le piàn kè ， wàn xuán jìng cái jì xù shuō dào ：“ yǐ jiā rù wàn xiān méng zhě ， wú fǎ zài jiā rù wǔ lǎo huì 。 fǎn zhī yì rán 。”
沉默了片刻，万玄镜才继续说道：“已加入万仙盟者，无法再加入五老会。反之亦然。”
"Can gold and other valuables be exchanged for contribution points?"
“ rú ruò wéi fǎn ， jiāng zāo dào liǎng fāng lián shǒu zhuī shā 。”
“如若违反，将遭到两方联手追杀。”
"Yes, see the exchange list for specific rules," the mirror replied.
zhè xià lún dào lǐ fán chén mò le 。
这下轮到李凡沉默了。
Li Fan asked question after question, not tiring of it.
“ wǒ hǎo xiàng hái méi tóng yì jiā rù nǐ men wàn xiān méng ba ？”
“我好像还没同意加入你们万仙盟吧？”
After a long time, he stopped.
“ yí dàn jìn rù wàn xuán jìng 、 bèi jì lù xià shén shí ， jiù shì zhī zì yuàn jiā rù wàn xiān méng 。”
“一旦进入万玄镜、被记录下神识，就视之自愿加入万仙盟。”
"I don't have any more questions now."
“ wǒ kě yǐ tuō lí wàn xiān méng ， zhī hòu bù jiā rù wǔ lǎo huì ， xuǎn zé dāng gè sàn xiū me ？” lǐ fán yòu wèn dào 。
“我可以脱离万仙盟，之后不加入五老会，选择当个散修么？”李凡又问道。
"Understood, cultivator. If you have new inquiries, feel free to call me or check on your own."
wàn xuán jìng zài cì chén mò 。
万玄镜再次沉默。
The space became quiet again as Li Fan manipulated his mental energy to transform the space into an ancient room similar to that in the Great Sage's residence.
guò le huì ， tā cái jì xù huí yìng 。
过了会，他才继续回应。
Everything inside was identical to what he had seen before, indistinguishable from reality.
“ kě yǐ 。 dàn rú guǒ xuǎn zé tuō lí ， céng jīng zài wàn xiān méng zhōng huò dé de yī qiè wù pǐn ， dōu jiāng huì bèi qiáng zhì huí shōu 。 qǐng jǐn shèn zuò chū xuǎn zé 。”
“可以。但如果选择脱离，曾经在万仙盟中获得的一切物品，都将会被强制回收。请谨慎做出选择。”
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror is truly a remarkable treasure," Li Fan thought.
“ jīn yín zhè xiē dōng xī kě yǐ yòng lái huàn qǔ gòng xiàn dù me ？”
“金银这些东西可以用来换取贡献度么？”
Through their conversation, Li Fan gained a basic understanding of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
“ kě yǐ ， jù tǐ duì huàn guī zé xiáng jiàn duì huàn qīng dān 。”
“可以，具体兑换规则详见兑换清单。”
Opening the list of available mystical techniques with his mental energy, Li Fan saw that even the simplest初级炼气 technique required 1000 contribution points.
……
……
Checking the task list and filtering for初级炼气 tasks, he found all rewards were only five or ten points.
lǐ fán yī jù jù ， bù yàn qí fán de wèn zhe wàn xuán jìng 。
李凡一句句，不厌其烦的问着万玄镜。
"Truly a life of a donkey in cultivation," a vague emotion stirred within him.
xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， tā zhōng yú tíng le xià lái 。
许久之后，他终于停了下来。
"You have new message from an image transmission. Please check it promptly," the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror's voice suddenly sounded again.
"嗡……"
The rumbling echoed in his ears, and the scene before him spun, making it hard to discern anything clearly.
After a long while, Li Fan recovered from this abnormality.
"The first time you ride a transmission array, it's like this. Just get used to it," He Zhenghao casually explained.
Li Fan nodded silently as he observed his surroundings.
The current location seemed to be a large square. At the front of the square stood an enormous statue of an elderly man with long hair and a high crown.
Beneath the statue, the square was filled with thousands of stone statues in various shapes and sizes.
Every one of these stone statues looked up at the old man with long hair.
The transmission array Li Fan had just emerged from was right in front of one of those statues.
"This is the Transmission Square. It was built to commemorate when the Immortal Sage imparted teachings. Each outpost of our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has such a square," He Zhenghao explained.

If they see you flying above them, they might remember it," He Zhenghao whispered as he led Li Fan through the square.
Li Fan listened intently, noting these important points for his safety.
After walking a short distance, they passed through a corridor made of vines into a lush and quiet forest.
In the center of the forest was a large ancient mirror. Cultivators hurried in and out, passing through the mirror without any clear destination.
Others emerged from the mirror and left immediately.
"This is our Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror," He Zhenghao said.
"Legend has it that before the Immortal Sage imparted teachings, this mirror was just an ordinary one. After he taught, the mirror reflected his form and developed its own willpower. It later learned to cultivate like other cultivators, evolving into a divine treasure."
