bù zhī dào shì bú shì qiǎo hé 。
不知道是不是巧合。
Unknown whether it was a coincidence.
yòu huò zhě dāng chū chuán fǎ tiān zūn zài chuàng jiàn xīn fǎ de shí hòu ， dí què cān kǎo 、 mó páng le shì jiè chū chuàng de chǎng jǐng 。
又或者当初传法天尊在创建新法的时候，的确参考、模彷了世界初创的场景。
Or perhaps when the Law尊 created this new law, he indeed referenced and imitated the scene of world creation.
zǒng zhī wèi le jiě jué xiū shì méi yǒu líng gēn 、 wú fǎ xiū xíng zhè ge wèn tí ， yòng rén tǐ fù miàn qíng xù cuī dòng shēng chéng de 、 yòng lái qiáng xíng jí qǔ tiān dì néng liàng de zào wù ， yě bèi chēng zhī wèi “ tiān dì zhī gēn ”。
总之为了解决修士没有灵根、无法修行这个问题，用人体负面情绪催动生成的、用来强行汲取天地能量的造物，也被称之为“天地之根”。
In any case, to solve the problem of cultivators lacking spiritual roots and being unable to practice, an object generated by negative emotions in the human body to forcibly absorb cosmic energy was also called "Root of Heaven and Earth."
suī rán tóng míng ， dàn xiǎn rán èr zhě bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
虽然同名，但显然二者不可同日而语。
Although they share the same name, clearly these two are incomparable.
rú guǒ shuō dài biǎo chuàng shì yǐn shǐ de 【 tiān dì zhī gēn 】， shì shén shèng 、 sù mù de 。
如果说代表创世尹始的【天地之根】，是神圣、肃穆的。
If the Root of Heaven and Earth representing the Creator Yinshi is sacred and solemn,
nà me lüè tiān duó dì 、 shǐ de rén rén jiē kě xiū xíng de “ tiān dì zhī gēn ”， zé xiǎn de yǒu xiē xié è 。
那么掠天夺地、使得人人皆可修行的“天地之根”，则显得有些邪恶。
then this Root of Heaven and Earth that allows everyone to practice by seizing the land and sky seems a bit evil.
zhè huò xǔ cóng “ tā ” zhǎn xiàn chū de wài bù xíng tài shàng ， kě yǐ kàn chū xiē duān ní 。
这或许从“它”展现出的外部形态上，可以看出些端倪。
This might be evident from its external form.
chéng bǎi shàng qiān 、 chéng qiān shàng wàn rú dòng de chù shǒu ， nà xiē dōu shì tiān dì zhī gēn de gēn xū 。
成百上千、成千上万蠕动的触手，那些都是天地之根的根须。
Countless wriggling tentacles, those were the roots of the Root of Heaven and Earth.
cǐ kè tā men jiù xiàng dàn shēng le zì wǒ yì shí bān ， zài bù duàn yán shēn zhōng ， kào jìn wǔ xíng dòng tiān 。
此刻它们就像诞生了自我意识般，在不断延伸中，靠近五行洞天。
At this moment, they seemed to have developed self-awareness, extending continuously towards the Five Elements Cave Heavens.
zì dòng xún zhǎo zháo zuì shì hé zhā gēn de dì fāng ， qù jìn xíng qīn zhàn 。
自动寻找着最适合扎根的地方，去进行侵占。
Automatically searching for the most suitable place to root themselves, to carry out their invasion.
chū shēng de wǔ xíng dòng tiān ， fǎng fú yù gǎn dào le zì shēn de wēi jī 。
初生的五行洞天，仿佛预感到了自身的危机。
The newly born Five Elements Cave Heavens seemed to sense its impending crisis.
dòng tiān zhèn chàn ， gè sè guāng huá zhàn fàng ， xiǎng yào jiāng zhè xiē fā dòng qīn lüè de “ yì wù ”， gěi pái chì zài wài 。
洞天震颤，各色光华绽放，想要将这些发动侵略的“异物”，给排斥在外。
The cave trembled, various lights blooming, trying to repel these invading "foreign objects."
méi yǒu yòng 。
没有用。
It was useless.
dòng tiān guāng máng qǐ dào de fáng hù xiào guǒ ， duì tā men ér yán gēn běn wēi hū qí wēi 。
洞天光芒起到的防护效果，对它们而言根本微乎其微。
The protective effects of the light from the cave were negligible to them.
jǐn jǐn sǔn shī le wēi bù zú dào de qí zhōng yī xiǎo bù fèn 。
仅仅损失了微不足道的其中一小部分。
Only a small portion of the black roots suffered losses.
shèng xià de hēi sè gēn xū ， rú jìn wú rén zhī jìng ， cháng qū zhí rù 。
剩下的黑色根须，如进无人之境，长驱直入。
The remaining black roots entered like they had free rein, penetrating directly.
rú tóng yī gēn gēn xì zhēn ， qiāo wú shēng xī dì fēn fēn zhā jìn dòng tiān zhī zhōng 。
如同一根根细针，悄无声息地纷纷扎进洞天之中。
Like fine needles, they quietly pierced into the cave.
dòng tiān hōng míng 。
洞天轰鸣。
The cave roared.
mò míng de shēng xiǎng zì qí zhōng chuán chū ， wǎn ruò tòng kǔ de kū tí 。
莫名的声响自其中传出，宛若痛苦的哭啼。
Strange sounds emerged, as if in pain and crying out.
dàn què wú fǎ zǔ zhǐ yuán yuán bù duàn de gēn xū ， jiāng tā men chán rào 、 bāo guǒ de yuè lái yuè jǐn 。
但却无法阻止源源不断的根须，将它们缠绕、包裹的越来越紧。
But it could not stop the continuous growth of roots from wrapping around them tighter and tighter.
guāng máng xiāo sàn ， hēi àn jiàng lín 。
光芒消散，黑暗降临。
The light faded, darkness descended.
ér zài yī páng 、 jiāng qīn tūn dòng tiān de chǎng jǐng shǐ zhōng kàn zài yǎn lǐ de shǐ zuò yǒng zhě lǐ fán ， cǐ shí xīn zhōng què shì bù yóu zì zhǔ de fú xiàn chū sī sī hán yì 。
而在一旁、将侵吞洞天的场景始终看在眼里的始作俑者李凡，此时心中却是不由自主的浮现出丝丝寒意。
While Li Fan watched the scene of invading the cave from the sidelines, a chill ran down his spine.
“ tiān zūn xīn fǎ ， guǒ rán guǐ yì 。”
“天尊新法，果然诡异。”
"The new law of Law尊 is indeed strange."
“ wàng zhī bù shì zhèng dào 。”
“望之不似正道。”
"It does not seem to be in line with the orthodox path."
tā xīn zhōng àn zì dī gū 。
他心中暗自滴咕。
He muttered inwardly.
bù guò lǐ fán bì jìng yě bìng fēi shén me jiǎo qíng zhī bèi 。
不过李凡毕竟也并非什么矫情之辈。
But Li Fan was no fussy person after all.
bù guǎn kàn shàng qù rú hé xié è ， xīn fǎ què shì rú jīn tā wéi yī néng gòu xiū xíng de tú jìng 。
不管看上去如何邪恶，新法却是如今他唯一能够修行的途径。
No matter how evil it looked, this new law was currently his only way to practice.
jiāng nǎo hǎi zhōng de zá niàn pāo zhū nǎo hòu ， lǐ fán níng shì bèi rú dòng de hēi sè suǒ bāo wéi de dòng tiān 。
将脑海中的杂念抛诸脑后，李凡凝视被蠕动的黑色所包围的洞天。
Shedding his杂念from his mind, Li Fan stared at the cave surrounded by wriggling black roots.
wú jìn de gēn xū jiù xiàng tā de chù shǒu bān ， jiāng dòng tiān xiàn zài de qíng xíng rú shí chuán dào lǐ fán de nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
无尽的根须就像他的触手般，将洞天现在的情形如实传到李凡的脑海中。
The endless roots, like his own tentacles, transmitted the current state of the cave directly into his mind.
lì liàng bèi tūn shì ， zhēng zhá de lì liàng yuè lái yuè ruò 。
力量被吞噬，挣扎的力量越来越弱。
---
ér cóng nà wàn qiān chù shǒu zhōng ， chuán lái yī zhǒng qí yì wú bǐ de néng liàng 。
而从那万千触手中，传来一种奇异无比的能量。
Energy was being consumed; the struggling force grew weaker and weaker.
nà shì bǐ qǐ lǐ fán xiū xíng 《 zào huà hōng lú gōng 》 gǎn yìng dào de rén tǐ mì cáng ， hái yào jīng cuì shù bèi de shēng mìng néng liàng 。
那是比起李凡修行《造化烘炉功》感应到的人体密藏，还要精粹数倍的生命能量。
From those myriad tentacles came a strange energy far more refined than what he had sensed from the human body while practicing the Transformation Furnace Technique.
bó bó shēng jī ， cóng dòng tiān zhōng chōu qǔ ， bù tíng de zhù rù dào lǐ fán tǐ nèi 。
勃勃生机，从洞天中抽取，不停的注入到李凡体内。
Vibrant vitality was drawn from the cave, continuously injected into Li Fan's body.
lǐ fán zhǐ xī qǔ le qí zhōng wēi bù zú dào de yī sī ， xīn zhōng jiù yǒng xiàn chū yī zhǒng gǎn jué 。
李凡只吸取了其中微不足道的一丝，心中就涌现出一种感觉。
Even taking only a tiny portion of it, Li Fan felt something.
kào zhe zhè jīng chún wú bǐ de shēng jī ， nǎ pà zì jǐ bèi qiān dāo wàn guǎ 、 fēn chéng ròu mò 。
靠着这精纯无比的生机，哪怕自己被千刀万剐、分成肉沫。
With this incomparably pure life force, even if his body were cut to pieces and reduced to flesh,
zhǐ yào hái yǒu shèng yú de bù fèn zǔ zhī cún zài ， nà me zì jǐ réng rán kě yǐ jiè cǐ chóng xīn chuàng zào chū yī jù quán xīn de qū tǐ chū lái 。
只要还有剩余的部分组织存在，那么自己仍然可以借此重新创造出一具全新的躯体出来。
as long as there remained any part of him, he could recreate a new body using this energy.
“ dī xuè chóng shēng ， bù sǐ bù miè ……”
“滴血重生，不死不灭……”
"Dripping blood for rebirth, immortal and indestructible..."
yuán běn zhè shàng gǔ chuán wén zhōng ， zhǐ yǒu dà néng xiū shì cái néng zhǎng wò de shén tōng ， cǐ kè què yòng zhè qǔ qiǎo de fāng fǎ ， jìn sì shí xiàn 。
原本这上古传闻中，只有大能修士才能掌握的神通，此刻却用这取巧的方法，近似实现。
This technique from ancient legends, only great cultivators could master, was now almost realized through this clever method.
“ chuán fǎ ……”
“传法……”
"Transmitting the law..."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù dé zài dù gǎn tàn 。
李凡心中不得再度感叹。
Li Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
jiē xià lái ， jiàn shí jī yǐ dào ， zhōng shì yǒu le dòng zuò 、 yíng lái liǎo jié yīng de zuì hòu yī bù 。
接下来，见时机已到，终是有了动作、迎来了结婴的最后一步。
Seeing that the time had come, he finally took action, reaching the final step of forming an embryo.
yuán běn jiù zhǐ shèng xià bàn gè de shēn qū chè dǐ róng jiě 。
原本就只剩下半个的身躯彻底溶解。
His body, which already consisted of just half, completely dissolved.
huà zuò gǔ gǔ de hēi sè nóng zhī ， shùn zhe wàn qiān dào gēn xū ， qīn rù dào wǔ xíng dòng tiān zhōng 。
化作汩汩的黑色浓汁，顺着万千道根须，侵入到五行洞天中。
Transforming into a gushing black liquid, it seeped through countless roots and entered the Five Elements Cave Heavens.
zài lǐ fán de gǎn zhī zhōng ， zì jǐ fǎng fú yī fēn wèi wàn 、 wàn huà zuò yì 。
在李凡的感知中，自己仿佛一分为万、万化作亿。
In Li Fan's perception, he seemed to be divided into myriad entities yet still remained as one.
bèi fēn gē chéng wú shù de cún zài ， yòu hǎo sì réng shì yí gè zhěng tǐ 。
被分割成无数的存在，又好似仍是一个整体。
With a unified goal: to seize the Five Elements Cave Heavens.
yǒu zhe tǒng yī de mù biāo ， nà jiù shì jiū zhàn què cháo ， chè dǐ jiāng wǔ xíng dòng tiān jù wéi jǐ yǒu 。
有着统一的目标，那就是鸠占鹊巢，彻底将五行洞天据为己有。
This was a very strange experience.
zhè shì yī zhǒng hěn qí miào de tǐ yàn 。
这是一种很奇妙的体验。
Originally, compared to the human body, the "cave" was several levels higher. But now it seemed like an equal life form.
yuán běn bǐ qǐ rén tǐ yào gāo chū shù gè céng jí de “ dòng tiān ”， cǐ kè què fǎng fú chéng wéi le píng děng de shēng mìng xíng shì cún zài 。
原本比起人体要高出数个层级的“洞天”，此刻却仿佛成为了平等的生命形式存在。
---

The ethereal "Heaven and Earth," which had been intangible, now appeared as a tangible entity that could be attacked.
yuán běn xū wú piāo miǎo de “ tiān dì ”， cǐ shí què hǎo sì biàn chéng le kě yǐ gōng jī de shí tǐ 。
原本虚无缥缈的“天地”，此时却好似变成了可以攻击的实体。
As Li Fan continued his invasion, the struggle of the cave weakened until it became inaudible.
suí zhe lǐ fán de bù duàn qīn rù 。
随着李凡的不断侵入。
-----------------
dòng tiān de zhēng zhá yuè lái yuè ruò ， zuì zhōng wēi bù kě wén 。
洞天的挣扎越来越弱，最终微不可闻。
In the Golden Heart State, beyond the Five Elements Void.
-----------------
-----------------
"Um? Was there any movement just now?" A Golden Core cultivator on duty suddenly raised his head and looked at the black hole above him, asking curiously.
tiān líng zhōu 。
天灵州。
"Ancient Sun, I bet you're hallucinating again," a lazy-looking cultivator beside him scoffed carelessly.
wǔ xíng xū kōng zhī wài 。
五行虚空之外。
"I've been telling you to take leave from upstairs and get some rest. After fighting for so long, seeing all these dead bodies, it's lucky if you don't go crazy. You even volunteered to come here to guard the place..."
“ ń ？ shì bú shì gāng gāng yǒu shén me dòng jìng ？” zhèng zài zhí shǒu de yī wèi jīn dān xiū shì hū de tái qǐ tóu ， kàn zhe tóu dǐng yī piàn qī hēi de dà dòng ， hū de wèn dào 。
“嗯？是不是刚刚有什么动静？”正在值守的一位金丹修士忽的抬起头，看着头顶一片漆黑的大洞，忽的问道。
Ancient Sun ignored his taunts, staring intently at the black void, as if lost in thought.
“ lǎo sūn ， wǒ kàn nǐ shì yòu chǎn shēng huàn jué le ba 。” tā de shēn páng ， yī wèi miàn sè lǎn sǎn de xiū shì mǎn bù zài hū de chī xiào dào 。
“老孙，我看你是又产生幻觉了吧。”他的身旁，一位面色懒散的修士满不在乎的嗤笑道。
After a moment of hesitation, he flew to the edge of the void and carefully examined the area.
“ wǒ zǎo jiù quàn nǐ ， gēn shàng miàn qǐng gè jiǎ ， hǎo hǎo xiū xī xiū xī 。 dǎ le zhè me jiǔ de zhàng ， jiàn guò zhè me duō de sǐ rén ， bù fēng jiù xiè tiān xiè dì le 。 jū rán hái zhǔ dòng qǐng yīng ， lái zhè lǐ chéng dān kān shǒu de rèn wù ……”
“我早就劝你，跟上面请个假，好好休息休息。打了这么久的仗，见过这么多的死人，不疯就谢天谢地了。居然还主动请缨，来这里承担看守的任务……”
"A lunatic, always paranoid, must have gone mad!" The cultivator by his side snickered under his breath.
lǎo sūn méi yǒu lǐ huì duì fāng de nuó yú ， zhǐ shì jǐn jǐn dīng zhe hēi sè xū kōng ， bù zhī xiǎng dào le shén me ， miàn sè yán sù 。
老孙没有理会对方的挪揄，只是紧紧盯着黑色虚空，不知想到了什么，面色严肃。
Stretching lazily, he looked up at Ancient Sun with an air of watching a show.
chóu chú le piàn kè ， tā hái shì fēi shēn lái dào xū kōng biān yuán ， zǐ xì chá tàn qǐ lái 。
踌躇了片刻，他还是飞身来到虚空边缘，仔细查探起来。
Sure enough, after much inspection, he found nothing out of the ordinary.
“ shén jīng bìng ， zhěng tiān yí shén yí guǐ de ， nǎo zi huài le ba ！” yī páng de xiū shì bù xiè dì dī shēng mà le jù 。
“神经病，整天疑神疑鬼的，脑子坏了吧！”一旁的修士不屑地低声骂了句。
Finally, he had to return disappointedly to the ground.
shēn le gè lǎn yāo ， yǎng wàng zhe lǎo sūn ， yī fù kàn hǎo xì de yàng zi 。
伸了个懒腰，仰望着老孙，一副看好戏的样子。
"How about now? I told you it was your hallucination," the cultivator mocked him.
guǒ rán bù chū suǒ liào ， xún shì le xǔ jiǔ ， duì fāng dōu méi néng chá jué dào shén me yì cháng 。
果然不出所料，巡视了许久，对方都没能察觉到什么异常。
"This damned place, not even birds shit here! How could there be any enemies? I wonder what they were thinking, leaving a team here to guard."
zuì zhōng hái shì zhǐ néng xìng xìng dì fǎn huí dì miàn 。
最终还是只能悻悻地返回地面。
"They can go back and enjoy themselves. We have to suffer here! Aaah..."
“ zěn me yàng ， wǒ shuō le ba ， dōu shì nǐ de huàn jué 。” xiū shì jiàn zhuàng ， lián shēng cháo fěng dào 。
“怎么样，我说了吧，都是你的幻觉。”修士见状，连声嘲讽道。
Seeing that Ancient Sun didn't react, he turned his attention elsewhere, complaining endlessly.
“ zhè chù guǐ dì fāng ， niǎo dōu bù lái lā shǐ ！ yòu zěn me huì yǒu rén dí rén lái ne ？ yě bù zhī dào shàng miàn shì zěn me xiǎng de ， fēi yào liú xià yī duì rén zài zhè lǐ kān shǒu 。”
“这处鬼地方，鸟都不来拉屎！又怎么会有人敌人来呢？也不知道上面是怎么想的，非要留下一队人在这里看守。”
Ancient Sun seemed used to it, ignoring him.
“ tā men dào hǎo ， kě yǐ huí qù xiāo yáo kuài huó le 。 wǒ men zhǐ néng zài zhè lǐ shòu kǔ ！ a pēi ……”
“他们倒好，可以回去逍遥快活了。我们只能在这里受苦！啊呸……”
But he still occasionally looked up at the sky with a frown.
jiàn lǎo sūn méi yǒu fǎn yìng ， xiū shì zhǐ néng zhuǎn yí le mù biāo ， dié dié bù xiū de bào yuàn zhe 。
见老孙没有反应，修士只能转移了目标，喋喋不休的抱怨着。
"Um? This Sun cultivator has very sharp senses; almost caught on."
lǎo sūn fǎng fú shì xí guàn le ， zhì ruò wǎng wén 。
老孙仿佛是习惯了，置若罔闻。
"Interesting."
zhǐ shì réng rán shí bù shí tái tóu wàng xiàng tiān kōng ， méi tóu jǐn suǒ 。
只是仍然时不时抬头望向天空，眉头紧锁。
Above the sky, Li Fan, hidden from view, watched Ancient Sun and felt a touch of surprise.
“ ń ？ zhè wèi sūn xìng xiū shì de líng jué hǎo shēng mǐn ruì ， jū rán chà diǎn bèi tā fā xiàn le 。”
“嗯？这位孙姓修士的灵觉好生敏锐，居然差点被他发现了。”
The moment the Five Elements Cave Heavens descended upon the Golden Heart State's void, he completed his consumption without incident.
“ yǒu diǎn yì si 。”
“有点意思。”
Finally, he successfully advanced to the Yuan婴stage.
tiān kōng zhī shàng ， yǐn cáng zhe shēn xíng de lǐ fán kàn zhe lǎo sūn ， xīn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jīng yà 。
天空之上，隐藏着身形的李凡看着老孙，心中闪过一丝惊讶。
But before he could check his own changes, he nearly got caught by the suspicious Ancient Sun.
zài wǔ xíng dòng tiān jiàng lín dào tiān líng zhōu xū kōng de chà nà ， tā yǒu jīng wú xiǎn de ， wán chéng le duì dòng tiān de tūn shì 。
在五行洞天降临到天灵州虚空的刹那，他有惊无险的，完成了对洞天的吞噬。
Fortunately, Li Fan reacted quickly and hid his form.
zhōng yú chéng gōng jìn shēng dào le yuán yīng jìng jiè 。
终于成功晋升到了元婴境界。
Although his cultivation was a whole stage higher than theirs, allowing him to subdue them with a single gesture,
rán ér hái méi lái de jí chá kàn zì shēn biàn huà ， tā què xiǎn xiē bèi xià fāng dòng xī dào yì yàng de lǎo sūn chá jué 。
然而还没来的及查看自身变化，他却险些被下方洞悉到异样的老孙察觉。
with the war about to end, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was still in a sensitive state.
hǎo zài lǐ fán fǎn yìng xùn sù ， jí shí yǐn cáng le shēn xíng 。
好在李凡反应迅速，及时隐藏了身形。
If something happened here, it might stir up trouble again.
suī rán rú jīn xiū wèi gāo tā men yí gè dà jìng jiè ， kě yǐ jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān jiāng tā men zhì fú 。
虽然如今修为高他们一个大境界，可以举手投足间将他们制服。
Better to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.
dàn cǐ shí dà zhàn jiāng xiē ， wàn xiān méng hái shì chǔ yú shí fēn mǐn gǎn de tài shì 。
但此时大战将歇，万仙盟还是处于十分敏感的态势。
Shaking his head, Li Fan memorized Ancient Sun's appearance before leaving.
rú guǒ zhè lǐ chū xiàn le shén me biàn gù ， pà bú shì yòu yào xiān qǐ shén me fēng bō 。
如果这里出现了什么变故，怕不是又要掀起什么风波。
But suddenly, he heard more voices below.
hái shì mēn shēng fā dà cái de hǎo 。
还是闷声发大财的好。
"Old Sun, have you heard? Zhang Debiao seems to have made a big fortune recently."
lǐ fán yáo le yáo tóu ， jiāng lǎo sūn de yàng mào jì zài xīn zhōng ， zhèng yù lí qù 。
李凡摇了摇头，将老孙的样貌记在心中，正欲离去。
"He was responsible for clearing the battlefield."
què hū de tīng jiàn xià fāng yòu chuán lái shuō huà shēng 。
却忽的听见下方又传来说话声。
"All those dead bodies on the battlefield in the Golden Heart State, all the benefits went to him!"
Unknown whether it was a coincidence.
Or perhaps when the Law尊 created this new law, he indeed referenced and imitated the scene of world creation.
In any case, to solve the problem of cultivators lacking spiritual roots and being unable to practice, an object generated by negative emotions in the human body to forcibly absorb cosmic energy was also called "Root of Heaven and Earth."
Although they share the same name, clearly these two are incomparable.
If the Root of Heaven and Earth representing the Creator Yinshi is sacred and solemn,
then this Root of Heaven and Earth that allows everyone to practice by seizing the land and sky seems a bit evil.
This might be evident from its external form.
Countless wriggling tentacles, those were the roots of the Root of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, they seemed to have developed self-awareness, extending continuously towards the Five Elements Cave Heavens.
Automatically searching for the most suitable place to root themselves, to carry out their invasion.
The newly born Five Elements Cave Heavens seemed to sense its impending crisis.
The cave trembled, various lights blooming, trying to repel these invading "foreign objects."
But...
It was useless.
The protective effects of the light from the cave were negligible to them.
Only a small portion of the black roots suffered losses.
The remaining black roots entered like they had free rein, penetrating directly.
Like fine needles, they quietly pierced into the cave.
The cave roared.
Strange sounds emerged, as if in pain and crying out.
But it could not stop the continuous growth of roots from wrapping around them tighter and tighter.
The light faded, darkness descended.
While Li Fan watched the scene of invading the cave from the sidelines, a chill ran down his spine.
"The new law of Law尊 is indeed strange."
"It does not seem to be in line with the orthodox path."
He muttered inwardly.
But Li Fan was no fussy person after all.

Shedding his杂念from his mind, Li Fan stared at the cave surrounded by wriggling black roots.
The endless roots, like his own tentacles, transmitted the current state of the cave directly into his mind.

The moment the Five Elements Cave Heavens descended upon the Golden Heart State's void, he completed his consumption without incident.
Finally, he successfully advanced to the Yuan婴stage.
But before he could check his own changes, he nearly got caught by the suspicious Ancient Sun.
Fortunately, Li Fan reacted quickly and hid his form.
Although his cultivation was a whole stage higher than theirs, allowing him to subdue them with a single gesture,
with the war about to end, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was still in a sensitive state.
If something happened here, it might stir up trouble again.
Better to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly.
Shaking his head, Li Fan memorized Ancient Sun's appearance before leaving.
But suddenly, he heard more voices below.
"Old Sun, have you heard? Zhang Debiao seems to have made a big fortune recently."
"He was responsible for clearing the battlefield."
"All those dead bodies on the battlefield in the Golden Heart State, all the benefits went to him!"
