duǎn duǎn shí jiān nèi ， jiù cóng dà xǐ 、 dào dà jīng 、 zài dào dà bēi ， xiǎn sǐ táo shēng 。
短短时间内，就从大喜、到大惊、再到大悲，险死逃生。
In a short period of time, his emotions had shifted from extreme joy to shock and then deep sorrow. He narrowly escaped death.
cǐ kè de hán yì xīn zhōng zhǐ xiǎng mà niáng 。
此刻的韩易心中只想骂娘。
At this moment, Han Yi could only curse under his breath.
“ bù jiù shì zhōng le yì bǎi wàn gòng xiàn dù ma ， zhì yú qì yùn fǎn shì de zhè me lí pǔ ？”
“不就是中了一百万贡献度嘛，至于气运反噬的这么离谱？”
"Is it really worth such an exaggerated backlash of fate just because I got one million contribution points?"
yì zhí lù guò mǒu chù wú rén dǎo yǔ ， hán yì zhè cái shuāi dào dì miàn shàng ， jīng hún wèi dìng de chuǎn zhe cū qì 。
一直路过某处无人岛屿，韩易这才摔到地面上，惊魂未定的喘着粗气。
After passing by a deserted island, Han Yi finally fell to the ground, still catching his breath from the shock.
“ dàng zhēn shì huò fú nán liào ！”
“当真是祸福难料！”
"Truly unpredictable fortune and misfortune!"
tā de liǎn shàng yīn qíng bù dìng 。
他的脸上阴晴不定。
His expression was full of fluctuation as he reflected on what had happened. His intuition hadn't been wrong; there indeed was a great opportunity here. The celestial essence that could help him achieve the Dao realm, along with an odd broken sword that could counter it.
tā de yù gǎn méi cuò ， nà lǐ dí què shì yī chù dà jī yuán 。
他的预感没错，那里的确是一处大机缘。
If his strength were sufficient, he could have slain Qingfeng and taken control of the broken sword just now. He would not only become a Dao cultivator but also possess a divine weapon equivalent to his own power.
néng gòu chéng jiù hé dào jìng jiè de tiān dì zhī pò ， hái yǒu yī bǐng néng gòu gēn tiān dì zhī pò xiāng kàng héng de guǐ yì cán jiàn 。
能够成就合道境界的天地之魄，还有一柄能够跟天地之魄相抗衡的诡异残剑。
...
rú guǒ tā de shí lì zú gòu ， gāng gāng jiù kě yǐ zhǎn shā qīng fēng 、 shōu fú cán jiàn 。
如果他的实力足够，刚刚就可以斩杀青风、收服残剑。
Thinking about such a scene made Han Yi's breathing quicken. He even had the idea of going back to try again.
yī jǔ chéng wéi hé dào xiū shì de tóng shí ， hái néng yōng yǒu yī bǐng xiāng dāng yú zì shēn zhàn lì de shén bīng 。
一举成为合道修士的同时，还能拥有一柄相当于自身战力的神兵。
Fortunately, he still retained some sanity and quickly shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside.
……
……
"Still not strong enough!" he lamented inwardly.
xiǎng dào nà zhǒng chǎng miàn ， hán yì shùn jiān biàn dé hū xī jí cù qǐ lái 。
想到那种场面，韩易瞬间变得呼吸急促起来。
"To kill Qingfeng, I need at least the Spirit Transformation Realm. Although I have the *Tianyun Jing*, it would take me over a century to reach that level."
shèn zhì nǎo hǎi zhōng chǎn shēng le zài huí qù shì yī shì de xiǎng fǎ 。
甚至脑海中产生了再回去试一试的想法。
"What if someone else discovers this place during this time?"
bù guò hǎo zài tā hái yǒu jǐ fēn lǐ zhì ， lián máng yáo yáo tóu ， jiāng qí pāo chū nǎo hòu 。
不过好在他还有几分理智，连忙摇摇头，将其抛出脑后。
"If only I hadn't been so greedy for that small gain. It would be better to use the one million contribution points to quickly enhance my cultivation."
“ shí lì bù gòu a ！” tā xīn zhōng bēi tàn dào 。
“实力不够啊！”他心中悲叹道。
"Steady progress is nothing compared to achieving the Dao in one fell swoop!"
“ xiǎng yào zhū shā qīng fēng ， zuì shǎo yào huà shén jìng jiè 。 wǒ suī rán shēn jù 【 tiān yùn jīng 】， dàn zuì shǎo yě yào bǎi duō nián shí guāng cái néng zuò dào 。”
“想要诛杀青风，最少要化神境界。我虽然身具【天运经】，但最少也要百多年时光才能做到。”
His mind was filled with doubts, making him feel anxious.
“ rú guǒ zhè qī jiān ， nà lǐ bèi rén fā xiàn le zěn me bàn ？”
“如果这期间，那里被人发现了怎么办？”
-----------------
“ zǎo zhī dào ， jiù bù gāi tān nà xiǎo pián yí 。 yòng bǎi wàn gòng xiàn ， jǐn kuài tí gāo zì shēn xiū wèi cái shì 。”
“早知道，就不该贪那小便宜。用百万贡献，尽快提高自身修为才是。”
While Han Yi was still thinking about Li Fan's *Cloud Water Illusion Technique* and how it led him to finally encounter Qingfeng trapped by a sword, the instigator himself had already quietly left Cunyun Sea and arrived in Tianling State.
“ shén me wěn zhā wěn dǎ ， nǎ yǒu yī zhāo hé dào lái de tòng kuài ！”
“什么稳扎稳打，哪有一朝合道来的痛快！”
The ceasefire was now official. Many cultivators who were previously stationed at the front lines returned home. The battlefield gradually became peaceful again, but the air still carried an indelible stench of blood.
nǎo hǎi zhōng zá niàn cóng shēng ， hán yì biàn dé huàn dé huàn shī qǐ lái 。
脑海中杂念丛生，韩易变得患得患失起来。
From afar, the landscape was dotted with deep fissures, and the sky was a chaotic mix of red and green hues. Teams of robed cultivators rushed to various parts of Tianling State.
-----------------
-----------------
They used their techniques to purify the lingering malevolent energy in the air and repair the cracked earth.
jiù zài hán yì yīn wèi lǐ fán zhī qián 【 yún shuǐ huàn mèng gōng 】 de àn shì ，“ jī yuán qiǎo hé ” zhī xià ， zhōng yú zhuàng jiàn qīng fēng kùn jiàn de shí hòu 。
就在韩易因为李凡之前【云水幻梦功】的暗示，“机缘巧合”之下，终于撞见青风困剑的时候。
In the distance, occasional rumbling sounds could be heard. Occasionally, one could see the sky distorted as if some massive entity was moving through it.
shǐ zuò yǒng zhě lǐ fán běn rén ， què shì yǐ jīng qiǎo rán dòng shēn ， lí kāi cóng yún hǎi 。
始作俑者李凡本人，却是已经悄然动身，离开丛云海。
"Damn! The Five Elements Great Caverns are our property; why should they take them away like that?"
lái dào le tiān líng zhōu 。
来到了天灵州。
"Oh well, better to move out. Although it's a prosperous place, it’s not a good omen. Too many cultivators have fallen in this war."
xiū zhàn yǐ jīng bǎn shàng dìng dīng ， xǔ duō bèi zhēng diào zhì qián xiàn de xiū shì yǐ jīng fǎn huí gù xiāng 。
休战已经板上钉钉，许多被征调至前线的修士已经返回故乡。
"Yes, Tianling State has suffered greatly. Many old friends can no longer be reached."
yuán běn de zhàn chǎng ， yě chóng xīn biàn dé píng hé xià lái 。
原本的战场，也重新变得平和下来。
...
zhǐ shì kōng qì zhōng sì hū réng rán mí màn zhe nóng nóng de xuè xīng wèi ， huī sàn bù qù 。
只是空气中似乎仍然弥漫着浓浓的血腥味，挥散不去。
Along the way, Han Yi occasionally heard other cultivators discussing.
sì mù yuǎn tiào ， dà dì shàng héng qī shù bā de 、 dào chù dōu shì shēn shēn de liè xì 。
四目远眺，大地上横七竖八的、到处都是深深的裂隙。
The reasons for the battle and the existence of the Five Elements Great Caverns were no longer secrets. The feelings of the Tianling State cultivators towards this incredibly fertile land were complex. As a result, when the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance officially moved the Five Elements Great Caverns to their core area, many cultivators gathered around to watch.
tiān kōng yě shì hóng lǜ jiāo zhī ， guǐ jué wú bǐ 。
天空也是红绿交织，诡谲无比。
Li Fan, hidden among them, only glanced at it before quietly retreating to the back of the crowd.
yī duì yòu yī duì de qīng yī xiū shì ， bēn fù tiān líng zhōu gè chù 。
一队又一队的青衣修士，奔赴天灵州各处。
He flew in the opposite direction towards the original location of the Five Elements Great Caverns.
tā men shī zhǎn fǎ shù ， jìng huà kōng qì zhōng cán liú de lì qì ， xiū fù jūn liè 、 cán pò de dà dì 。
他们施展法术，净化空气中残留的戾气，修复龟裂、残破的大地。
After a short while, Li Fan arrived at his destination. In the midst of the mountains, where two peaks met, there was a yawning black hole that seemed to have been gouged out from the landscape. It transformed what used to be a picturesque valley into something eerie and terrifying.
yuǎn chù ， yǐn yuē chuán lái chén mèn de hōng míng shēng 。
远处，隐约传来沉闷的轰鸣声。
Without the Five Elements Great Caverns, this place lost its value as a guardian post. The heavily guarded cultivators were withdrawn, leaving only a few Golden Core cultivators for routine patrols. Clearly, these cultivators did not take their task very seriously.
shí bù shí gèng néng kàn dào ， tiān qióng bèi niǔ qū de huà miàn 。
时不时更能看到，天穹被扭曲的画面。
After all, the war was over, and the Five Elements Great Caverns had been moved away. Who would bother to come here?
fǎng fú yǒu shén me páng rán dà wù ， zhèng zài tiān dì jiān yí dòng 。
仿佛有什么庞然大物，正在天地间移动。
Thus, they were quite relaxed, chatting idly without much vigilance.
“ wǒ pēi ！ zhè wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān nǎi shì wǒ men tiān líng zhōu zhī wù ， píng shén me jiù ràng tā men zhè yàng bān zǒu le ？”
“我呸！这五行大洞天乃是我们天灵州之物，凭什么就让他们这样搬走了？”
With his form hidden, Li Fan easily broke through their defenses and descended into the black void above.
“ āi ， qiān chū qù yě hǎo 。 suī shuō shì fù shù zhī dì ， dàn què bú shì jí zhào 。 zhè yī zhàn ， yǔn luò de xiū shì kě tài duō le 。”
“哎，迁出去也好。虽说是富庶之地，但却不是吉兆。这一战，陨落的修士可太多了。”
Stopping before the dark void, Li Fan paused and observed silently. Unlike the completely lifeless abyss that had been utterly destroyed by Mo Shi, there was still a faint sense of strange energies in this part of the sky. Even some traces of spiritual energy could be felt.
“ shì a ， zán men tiān líng zhōu zhè cì kě zhēn shì sǐ shāng cǎn zhòng 。 xǔ duō lǎo yǒu ， yǐ jīng lián xì bù shàng le 。”
“是啊，咱们天灵州这次可真是死伤惨重。许多老友，已经联系不上了。”
"This is not a dead place..." Li Fan pondered for a moment before leaping into the void.
huàn yuán app】
换源app】
Instantly, all light vanished.
……
……
Han Yi suddenly felt like he had become blind, losing his sight entirely. His divine sense spread out like tentacles in every direction, but received only the concept of "nothing."
yī lù shàng ， ǒu ěr kě yǐ tīng dào zhōu wéi xiū shì yì lùn fēn fēn 。
一路上，偶尔可以听到周围修士议论纷纷。
Looking back at where he came from, the scenery that once belonged to Tianling State was gone. It was as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, and Han Yi lost his sense of direction.
tiān líng zhōu zhī zhàn de qǐ yīn yǐ jí wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān de cún zài ， yǐ jīng bù zài shì shén me mì mì 。
天灵州之战的起因以及五行大洞天的存在，已经不再是什么秘密。
No matter how much he flew up, down, left, or right, he could not feel any change in position. It felt like he remained stationary.
tiān líng zhōu xiū shì duì yú zhè fù ráo wú bǐ de wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， gǎn qíng fù zá 。
天灵州修士对于这富饶无比的五行大洞天，感情复杂。
The stark contrast between movement and stillness caused a slight dizziness. Other cultivators might have panicked under such circumstances, but for Li Fan, this empty space devoid of immediate danger was nothing to worry about.
suǒ yǐ dāng wàn xiān méng guān fāng jiāng qí qiān xǐ zhì fù dì de guò chéng zhōng ， jù jí le bù shǎo xiū shì wéi guān 。
所以当万仙盟官方将其迁徙至腹地的过程中，聚集了不少修士围观。
With *Zhenhuan* at his disposal, even the most perilous void could not trap him! A moment's thought would allow him to escape from this predicament. Therefore, Han Yi was naturally not anxious.
yǐn cáng zài rén qún zhōng de lǐ fán ， jǐn jǐn shì yuǎn miáo le yī yǎn ， jiù qiǎo rán tuì zhì rén hòu 。
隐藏在人群中的李凡，仅仅是远瞄了一眼，就悄然退至人后。
He calmed down and did not move hastily but instead quietly sensed his surroundings. Although it was a vast expanse of emptiness, there seemed to be something hidden in the darkness.
bèi dào ér chí ， cháo zhe wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān yuán běn de suǒ zài dì fēi chí ér qù 。
背道而驰，朝着五行大洞天原本的所在地飞驰而去。
Every so often, Li Fan could feel ripples pass through him, but when he tried to trace their source, they suddenly vanished, as if they were just illusions.
bù duō xiǎo bàn tiān gōng fu ， lǐ fán jiù lái dào le mù dì dì 。
不多小半天功夫，李凡就来到了目的地。
Lost in the darkness for who knows how long, nothing changed.
qún shān zhōng ， shuāng fēng jiāo huì zhī chù 。
群山中，双峰交汇之处。
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance likely sent people here after moving the Five Elements Great Caverns."
hǎo sì bèi shēng shēng wā zǒu le yī kuài ， yōu hēi de dà dòng ， héng gèn zài tiān dì zhī jiān 。
好似被生生挖走了一块，幽黑的大洞，横亘在天地之间。
"They failed to uncover anything then, indicating that this void conceals a deep secret."
jiāng yuán běn fēng jǐng xiù lì de shān chuān ， biàn dé guǐ yì 、 jīng sǒng 。
将原本风景秀丽的山川，变得诡异、惊悚。
Li Fan thought to himself without any urgency. He had plenty of time and opportunities.
méi yǒu le wǔ xíng dòng tiān ， zhè lǐ yě jiù méi yǒu le kān shǒu de jià zhí 。
没有了五行洞天，这里也就没有了看守的价值。
With all external affairs set aside, Li Fan focused his mind and abandoned the idea of pursuing the ripples in the void.
yuán běn zhòng bīng bǎ shǒu de xiū shì fēn fēn bèi chè zǒu ， zhǐ liú xià liáo liáo jǐ wèi jīn dān xiū shì ， zuò lì xíng de kān guǎn 。
原本重兵把守的修士纷纷被撤走，只留下寥寥几位金丹修士，做例行的看管。
Instead, he tried not to control his body but let it flow with the ripples.
hěn xiǎn rán ， duì yú zì shēn de rèn wù ， zhè xiē xiū shì yě bìng bú shì shí fēn zhòng shì 。
很显然，对于自身的任务，这些修士也并不是十分重视。
Suddenly, he felt like he was floating on a river, carried along by the current. Gradually, he sensed that his body began moving within this space.
bì jìng zhàn zhēng yǐ jīng jié shù ， wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān yòu bèi qiān xǐ zǒu ， shuí yòu huì méi shì zuò ， pǎo lái zhè lǐ ne ？
毕竟战争已经结束，五行大洞天又被迁徙走，谁又会没事做，跑来这里呢？
But good times did not last long; soon, he seemed to have hit a wall and stopped abruptly.
"F*ck!"
In a short period of time, his emotions had shifted from extreme joy to shock and then deep sorrow. He narrowly escaped death.
At this moment, Han Yi could only curse under his breath.
"Is it really worth such an exaggerated backlash of fate just because I got one million contribution points?"
