huò xǔ shì yīn wèi 【 tiān dì zhī gēn 】 hài pà sǔn shāng dào xīn shēng de wǔ xíng dòng tiān de yuán gù 。
或许是因为【天地之根】害怕损伤到新生的五行洞天的缘故。
Perhaps it was because of the [Root of Heaven and Earth] being wary of damaging the newly born Five Elements Caverns.
dāng lǐ fán lái dào zhè wǔ duǒ guāng tuán fù jìn zhī hòu ， lái zì wài jiè de xī lì dǒu rán jiàng dī le bù shǎo 。
当李凡来到这五朵光团附近之后，来自外界的吸力陡然降低了不少。
When Li Fan approached the vicinity of the five light orbs, the external suction force suddenly decreased significantly.
zhè yě bì miǎn le tā zài duǎn shí jiān nèi wán quán jiě tǐ de mìng yùn 。
这也避免了他在短时间内完全解体的命运。
This also prevented him from completely disintegrating in a short period.
cǐ kè de lǐ fán ， suī rán shēn tǐ zhǐ shèng xià yuán lái de yí bàn ， dàn què réng rán sì zhī jù quán 。 zhǐ shì shēn qū zhěng tǐ suō shuǐ ， biàn dé hǎo sì qī bā suì de hái tóng yì bān 。
此刻的李凡，虽然身体只剩下原来的一半，但却仍然四肢俱全。只是身躯整体缩水，变得好似七八岁的孩童一般。
At this moment, although his body was only half its original size, he still had all four limbs. His entire body had shrunk to resemble that of an eight or nine-year-old child.
huá jī ér guǐ yì 。
滑稽而诡异。
It was both humorous and eerie.
hǎo zài bìng bù yǐng xiǎng jù tǐ xíng dòng 。
好在并不影响具体行动。
Fortunately, it did not affect his specific actions.
jìng jìng níng shì zhe bù yuǎn chù hū míng hū àn de wǔ sè guāng tuán ， lǐ fán méi yǒu jí zhe shī zhǎn mì fǎ 、 jiāng qí tūn shì 。
静静凝视着不远处忽明忽暗的五色光团，李凡没有急着施展秘法、将其吞噬。
Staring quietly at the flickering five-colored light orbs nearby, Li Fan did not rush to use a secret technique to devour them; instead, he carefully observed.
ér shì zǐ xì guān chá qǐ lái 。
而是仔细观察起来。
The [Root of Heaven and Earth] continuously wove the same attribute energy and laws into the Five Elements Caverns through repeated flashes of light below.
tiān dì zhī gēn jiāng tóng zhǒng shǔ xìng de néng liàng 、 fǎ zé ， zài xià fāng bù duàn de guāng shǎn zhōng ， fēn bié “ biān zhī ” zài jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ wǔ gè dòng tiān zhī shàng 。
天地之根将同种属性的能量、法则，在下方不断的光闪中，分别“编织”在金木水火土五个洞天之上。
These nascent, weak Caverns grew increasingly complete and robust due to this process.
chū dàn bù jiǔ 、 chán ruò de dòng tiān men ， yě yīn zhī biàn dé yuè lái yuè wán shàn 、 qiáng rèn 。
初诞不久、孱弱的洞天们，也因之变得越来越完善、强韧。
"If one views this space as a womb nurturing life, then these newly born Five Elements Caverns are like embryos just beginning to take shape."
“ rú guǒ bǎ cǐ chù kōng jiān ， kàn zuò yùn yù shēng mìng de zi gōng 。 nà me cǐ kè de wǔ xíng dòng tiān ， zé shì gāng gāng chǎn shēng chú xíng de tāi ér 。”
“如果把此处空间，看做孕育生命的子宫。那么此刻的五行洞天，则是刚刚产生雏形的胎儿。”
As a line-form existence, Li Fan was far more sensitive to the fluctuations in surrounding laws compared to when he was in human form.
lǐ fán rú jīn shēn wèi xiàn tiáo xíng shì de cún zài ， duì yú zhōu wéi fǎ zé de qì xī bō dòng ， bǐ qǐ zhī qián rén xíng tài shí yào mǐn ruì de duō 。
李凡如今身为线条形式的存在，对于周围法则的气息波动，比起之前人形态时要敏锐的多。
He witnessed the initial formation of the Caverns, and insights flashed through his mind.
mù dǔ dòng tiān chū shǐ de xíng chéng guò chéng ， zhèn zhèn míng wù shǎn guò tā de xīn tóu 。
目睹洞天初始的形成过程，阵阵明悟闪过他的心头。
In his previous life, when the "Five Elements Great Cavern" had been transferred out due to imbalanced Five Elements and ultimately perished, Li Fan had seen the terrifying scene within the black and white vortex.
shàng yī shì ， dāng nà bèi qiān yí chū qù de “ wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ” yīn wèi wǔ xíng shī héng ér zuì zhōng yān miè zhī shí 。
上一世，当那被迁移出去的“五行大洞天”因为五行失衡而最终湮灭之时。
Now seeing the Five Elements being born again, comparing these two scenes, he found some similarities.
lǐ fán céng jīng qīn yǎn kàn dào guò nà hēi bái xuán wō zhōng 、 jìn hū yào huǐ miè yī qiè de kǒng bù chǎng miàn 。
李凡曾经亲眼看到过那黑白漩涡中、近乎要毁灭一切的恐怖场面。
"Birth and Death..."
rú jīn yòu jiàn wǔ xíng chū shēng ， liǎng xiāng bǐ duì ， tā fā xiàn zhè qí zhōng jìng rán yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。
如今又见五行初生，两相比对，他发现这其中竟然有几分相似之处。
"The birth is the beginning of destruction; destruction is the source of life," Li Fan muttered to himself, as if gaining insight.
“ shēng miè ……”
“生灭……”
"I used the principle that the Five Elements generate each other endlessly to drive the techniques of Mo Shi and Tian Sha, creating a [Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword]."
“ shēng shì miè zhī shǐ ， miè nǎi shēng zhī yuán 。” lǐ fán nán nán dī yǔ ， ruò yǒu suǒ wù 。
“生是灭之始，灭乃生之源。”李凡喃喃低语，若有所悟。
"Yet this principle of Birth and Death..."
“ wǒ yǐ wǔ xíng xiāng shēng 、 yuán yuán bù jué zhī lǐ ， tuī dòng mò shā 、 tiān shā zhī fǎ ， chuàng zào chū yī shì 【 dà wǔ xíng jì miè jiàn 】。”
“我以五行相生、源源不绝之理，推动墨杀、天煞之法，创造出一式【大五行寂灭剑】。”
His thoughts raced to their peak in an instant. Without any external aid, Li Fan seemed to enter a state of enlightenment.
huàn yuán app, tóng shí chá kàn běn shū zài duō gè zhàn diǎn de zuì xīn zhāng jié 。】
换源app, 同时查看本书在多个站点的最新章节。】
Standing motionless beside the Five Elements light orbs, he appeared like a statue, unresponsive to his surroundings.
“ ér zhè shēng miè zhī lǐ ……”
“而这生灭之理……”
However, his body still reacted externally. When particles occasionally flew past, heading towards the Caverns and nearly reaching him, Li Fan's form twisted oddly as if premonitioning their approach, dodging them effortlessly before reverting to its original state.
chà nà jiān ， sī xù yùn zhuàn dào jí zhì 。
刹那间，思绪运转到极致。
Li Fan remained lost in thought, unaware of his own actions. Time passed.
zài méi yǒu rèn hé wài wù zhù lì de qíng kuàng xià ， lǐ fán hǎo sì xiàn rù dào dùn wù zhuàng tài zhī zhōng 。
在没有任何外物助力的情况下，李凡好似陷入到顿悟状态之中。
Slowly, more detailed scenes began to emerge within the five-colored light orbs—oceans, molten fires, trees...
dāi dāi de zhù lì zài wǔ xíng guāng tuán zhī páng ， rú tóng yī zūn diāo xiàng bān 、 sù rán bù dòng 。
呆呆的伫立在五行光团之旁，如同一尊凋像般、肃然不动。
Various post-natural Five Elements creations started appearing within the Caverns, like a fetus growing over ten months, gradually unfolding into an infant's form.
zhǐ shì shēn tǐ duì wài jiè bìng fēi méi yǒu fǎn yìng 。
只是身体对外界并非没有反应。
Diverse images began to manifest within the Caverns. The light surrounding them condensed and retreated back inside.
dāng ǒu rán yǒu hū xiào ér guò de lì zi 、 cháo zhe wǔ xíng dòng tiān fēi qù ， jí jiāng chuān tòu zǔ lán zài tā qián jìn dào lù shàng de lǐ fán de shí hòu 。
当偶然有呼啸而过的粒子、朝着五行洞天飞去，即将穿透阻拦在它前进道路上的李凡的时候。
This natural light acted as a supreme nourishment; after absorption, the scenes within the Caverns accelerated their changes by countless times.
lǐ fán de shēn qū fǎng fú wèi bǔ xiān jué bān ， zuò chū guài yì de niǔ qū dòng zuò ， chà nà jiān qīng sōng shǎn duǒ guò lì zi de xí jī 。
李凡的身躯仿佛未卜先觉般，做出怪异的扭曲动作，刹那间轻松闪躲过粒子的袭击。
Rumbles could be faintly heard.
ér zài ān quán zhī hòu ， yòu shùn jiān huī fù le yuán yàng 。
而在安全之后，又瞬间恢复了原样。
The Caverns themselves began to "grow," expanding outward. When they reached other Caverns, they stopped, but the internal force driving their growth did not cease.
zài kàn lǐ fán ， què shì shǐ zhōng chén jìn zài sī suǒ zhōng ， duì yú zì shēn de yī qiè xíng dòng ， dōu méi yǒu chá jué 。
再看李凡，却是始终沉浸在思索中，对于自身的一切行动，都没有察觉。
With creaking sounds, the five Caverns intertwined and formed a natural array, indistinguishable from one another.
shí jiān liú shì 。
时间流逝。
The Five Elements Caverns were about to take shape officially.
màn màn de ， wǔ sè guāng tuán zhōng ， yǐn yuē kě yǐ kàn jiàn xì jié gèng jiā fēng fù de jǐng sè 。
慢慢的，五色光团中，隐约可以看见细节更加丰富的景色。
"Good!" Li Fan finally woke up at this moment. His face, composed of lines, showed no sign of joy or sorrow.
dà hǎi ， róng huǒ ， shù mù ……
大海，熔火，树木……
Clearly, he had gained much from this experience.
gè zhǒng hòu tiān wǔ xíng zào wù ， kāi shǐ zài dòng tiān zhōng dàn shēng 。
各种后天五行造物，开始在洞天中诞生。
"That technique is not suitable for use here; I'll discuss it later after leaving!"
jiù xiàng tāi ér jīng guò shí yuè chéng zhǎng ， cóng yī tuán kàn bù qīng mú yàng de quán suō wù ， zhú jiàn zhǎng kāi ， yǒu le yīng ér de yàng mào 。
就像胎儿经过十月成长，从一团看不清模样的蜷缩物，逐渐长开，有了婴儿的样貌。
"Now, let's get down to business."
gè yì de jǐng xiàng zài dòng tiān zhōng kāi shǐ yǎn huà 。
各异的景象在洞天中开始衍化。
Reviewing the scenes recorded in the Alchemical Stone that he had missed due to his enlightenment, Li Fan nodded inwardly.
lǒng zhào dòng tiān wài wéi de guāng huá ， yě kāi shǐ nèi liǎn shōu suō ， huí dào dòng tiān nèi bù 。
笼罩洞天外围的光华，也开始内敛收缩，回到洞天内部。
"I guessed right. The Five Elements Caverns have yet to fully separate from [Root of Heaven and Earth]."
ér zhè guāng máng jiù xiàng tiān rán de jué jiā bǔ pǐn yì bān ， bèi xī shōu hòu ， dòng tiān zhī zhōng de jǐng xiàng ， gèng shì qiān bǎi bèi de jiā sù biàn huà qǐ lái 。
而这光芒就像天然的绝佳补品一般，被吸收后，洞天之中的景象，更是千百倍的加速变化起来。
"Like a mother's instinctive protective behavior towards her offspring, if I attempt to devour them, it will trigger the full attack of the Root."
hōng lōng lóng de shēng xiǎng yǐn yǐn chuán lái 。
轰隆隆的声响隐隐传来。
"Even with combined Dao cultivation here in its territory, I would still be defeated on the spot."
dòng tiān běn shēn yě kāi shǐ le “ zhǎng dà ”， cháo zhe zhōu wéi kuò zhāng 。
洞天本身也开始了“长大”，朝着周围扩张。
"So, my only chance is during that brief moment when the Five Elements Caverns separate from their mother but before they descend into this world's Heavenly Spirit State!"
dāng yì zhí péng zhàng ， chù pèng dào qí tā dòng tiān zhī hòu ， cái huǎn huǎn tíng le xià lái 。
当一直膨胀，触碰到其他洞天之后，才缓缓停了下来。
Li Fan understood clearly, without any emotional波动. He waited for that time.
zhǐ shì nà zhǒng nèi zài cù shǐ tā men zēng zhǎng de lì liàng ， què bìng méi yǒu xiāo chú 。
只是那种内在促使它们增长的力量，却并没有消除。
For other cultivators, facing such an opportunity where missing it would bring lifelong regret, even the most psychologically resilient might feel some anxiety.
gē zhī gē zhī de jǐ yā shēng zhōng ， wǔ zuò dòng tiān xiāng hù róu hé ， jié chéng tiān rán zhèn shì 、 nán fēn bǐ cǐ 。
咯吱咯吱的挤压声中，五座洞天相互糅合，结成天然阵势、难分彼此。
But to Li Fan with [Truly Real], it was just another ordinary attempt in his infinite trials.
wǔ xíng dòng tiān ， jí jiāng zhèng shì chéng xíng 。
五行洞天，即将正式成型。
His heart remained calm and undisturbed, like a skilled hunter patiently waiting for prey.
“ shàn ！” jiù zài zhè shí ， lǐ fán què shì zhōng yú xǐng le guò lái 。
“善！”就在这时，李凡却是终于醒了过来。
No one knew how much time passed.
chún cuì yóu xiàn tiáo zǔ chéng de liǎn shàng ， nán yǐ kàn chū shén me xīn xǐ de biǎo qíng 。
纯粹由线条组成的脸上，难以看出什么欣喜的表情。
The distant Caverns' scenes seemed to become more transparent.
dàn xiǎn rán ， tā cǐ fān shōu huò fěi qiǎn 。
但显然，他此番收获匪浅。
Inside the [Root of Heaven and Earth], only five interconnected Caverns' external circular outlines remained, spanning space.
“ nà shì shén tōng ， dǎo shì bú shì hé zài zhè lǐ shǐ chū 。 děng chū qù hòu zài shuō ！”
“那式神通，倒是不适合在这里使出。等出去后再说！”
Boom...
“ xiàn zài hái shì xiān gàn zhèng shì ba ！”
“现在还是先干正事吧！”
The Five Elements Caverns began intense vibrations. The internal space of the Root also shook violently.
jiāng huà dào shí zhōng jì lù xià lái de 、 yīn wèi zì jǐ dùn wù ér cuò guò de jǐng xiàng huí kàn le yī biàn ， lǐ fán àn zì diǎn tóu 。
将化道石中记录下来的、因为自己顿悟而错过的景象回看了一遍，李凡暗自点头。
It was as if the Caverns were trying to break free from their mother's constraints.
“ wǒ cāi dé méi cuò 。 rú jīn wǔ xíng dòng tiān ， shàng hái méi yǒu wán quán tuō lí 【 tiān dì zhī gēn 】。”
“我猜得没错。如今五行洞天，尚还没有完全脱离【天地之根】。”
In Li Fan's vision, those intersecting lines became slightly distorted.
“ jiù xiàng mǔ qīn tiān rán de hù zǎi běn néng yī yàng ， yí dàn wǒ shì tú jiāng qí tūn shì ， shì bì huì yǐn qǐ tiān dì zhī gēn de quán lì gōng jī 。”
“就像母亲天然的护崽本能一样，一旦我试图将其吞噬，势必会引起天地之根的全力攻击。”
"Clang!"
“ kǒng pà jiù suàn shì hé dào xiū wèi ， zài cǐ chù tā de zhǔ chǎng ， yě yào yǐn hèn dāng chǎng 。”
“恐怕就算是合道修为，在此处它的主场，也要饮恨当场。”
A sound like a broken string suddenly rang out.
“ suǒ yǐ ， wǒ de wéi yī jī huì ， jiù shì wǔ xíng dòng tiān tuō lí mǔ tǐ 、 dàn méi yǒu jiàng lín zài xiàn shì tiān líng zhōu xū kōng qián de chà nà ！”
“所以，我的唯一机会，就是五行洞天脱离母体、但没有降临在现世天灵州虚空前的刹那！”
Li Fan saw that a line seemed to have appeared and been torn apart around the Five Elements Caverns.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng míng wù ， wú bēi wú xǐ ， děng dài zhe nà ge shí jiān diǎn de dào lái 。
李凡心中明悟，无悲无喜，等待着那个时间点的到来。
Even though it was fleeting, he was certain it wasn't an illusion.
ruò shì bié de xiū shì ， miàn duì zhè yí dàn cuò guò jiù yào bào hàn zhōng shēn de jī huì 。 kǒng pà xīn lǐ sù zhì zài zěn me chū zhòng ， yě huì nán miǎn yǒu jǐ fēn tǎn tè 。
若是别的修士，面对这一旦错过就要抱憾终身的机会。恐怕心理素质再怎么出众，也会难免有几分忐忑。
Sure enough, a chain reaction of breaking sounds continued.
dàn duì yú yǒu zhe 【 hái zhēn 】 de lǐ fán ér yán ， bù guò shì “ wú xiàn ” cháng shì zhōng pǔ pǔ tōng tōng de yī cì bà le 。
但对于有着【还真】的李凡而言，不过是“无限”尝试中普普通通的一次罢了。
Countless lines above the Caverns fluttered in the wind before dissolving instantly.
suǒ yǐ tā de xīn zhōng méi yǒu rèn hé bō lán 。
所以他的心中没有任何波澜。
The Caverns' shaking intensified.
rú tóng chū sè de liè shǒu ， nài xīn 、 jìng jìng dì děng dài zhe liè wù 。
如同出色的猎手，耐心、静静地等待着猎物。
"Now!"
bù zhī guò qù duō jiǔ 。
不知过去多久。
At this instant, Li Fan's body completely disintegrated into twisted writhing lines, like countless snakes protecting his Dantian's Golden Core.
yuǎn chù jǐng sè gè yì de dòng tiān jǐng xiàng ， sì hū zhèng zài màn màn biàn dé tòu míng 。
远处景色各异的洞天景象，似乎正在慢慢变得透明。
They rushed towards the location of the Five Elements Caverns.
【 tiān dì zhī gēn 】 zhōng ， zhǐ shèng xià wǔ gè bǐ cǐ lián jiē zài yì qǐ de dòng tiān wài bù yuán xíng lún kuò ， héng gèn zài kōng jiān zhī zhōng 。
【天地之根】中，只剩下五个彼此连接在一起的洞天外部圆形轮廓，横亘在空间之中。
This seemed to alert the [Root of Heaven and Earth], as the dissolution speed of his fine lines increased during flight.
hōng ……
轰……
But it could not stop Li Fan from getting closer.
wǔ xíng dòng tiān kāi shǐ le jù liè de zhèn dòng 。
五行洞天开始了剧烈的震动。
As the Five Elements Caverns finally broke free from the Root's space, cracks appeared on Li Fan's Golden Core.
lián dài zhe 【 tiān dì zhī gēn 】 de nèi bù kōng jiān nèi ， yě zài bù tíng huàng dòng 。
连带着【天地之根】的内部空间内，也在不停晃动。
They looked like the core was about to disintegrate, but it remained intact.
jiù xiàng wǔ xíng dòng tiān yào zhèng tuō mǔ tǐ de shù fù 、 pò tǐ ér chū bān 。
就像五行洞天要挣脱母体的束缚、破体而出般。
Instead, grotesque "tentacles" emerged from these cracks.
zài lǐ fán de shì yě zhōng ， nà yī dào dào zòng héng jiāo zhī de xiàn tiáo ， dōu biàn dé yǒu jǐ fēn niǔ qū 。
在李凡的视野中，那一道道纵横交织的线条，都变得有几分扭曲。
Like seeing delicious food, they reached out eagerly towards the nearby Five Elements Caverns.
“ dīng ！”
“叮！”
These tentacles were also [Root of Heaven and Earth], not referring to the primordial creator here, but the strands that world cultivators had condensed in their bodies according to the new laws set by the Heavenly Sovereign.
Perhaps it was because of the [Root of Heaven and Earth] being wary of damaging the newly born Five Elements Caverns.
When Li Fan approached the vicinity of the five light orbs, the external suction force suddenly decreased significantly.
This also prevented him from completely disintegrating in a short period.
At this moment, although his body was only half its original size, he still had all four limbs. His entire body had shrunk to resemble that of an eight or nine-year-old child.

"Birth and Death..."
