tīng dào xī mén yǔ rú cǐ kěn dìng ， lǐ fán bù yóu de xiàn rù le chén sī 。
听到西门羽如此肯定，李凡不由得陷入了沉思。
Hearing Xiemen Yu's confident words, Li Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
“ shí guāng liú shì ， zēng jiǎn yǒu xù 。 zhè shì xuán huáng jiè zì shēn de biàn huà ， hái shì wài lì dǎo zhì ？”
“时光流逝，增减有序。这是玄黄界自身的变化，还是外力导致？”
"Time flows, increasing and decreasing in order. Is this a change within the Xuanhuang Realm itself or caused by external forces?"
lǐ fán xià yì shí de jiù xiǎng dào le nà wèi shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi de chuán fǎ tiān zūn 。
李凡下意识的就想到了那位神龙见首不见尾的传法天尊。
Li Fan instinctively recalled the mysterious Transcendental Sage who appeared only briefly before vanishing.
wú tā 。 rú guǒ shuō xuán huáng jiè nèi yǒu xiū shì néng rú cǐ qīng yì de zuò dào gǎi tiān huàn dì ， nà me yí dìng jiù shì zhè wèi xīn fǎ chuàng zào zhě le 。
无他。如果说玄黄界内有修士能如此轻易的做到改天换地，那么一定就是这位新法创造者了。
If there were cultivators inside the Xuanhuang Realm capable of such earth-shaking changes, it would certainly be this new law creator.
“ zhǐ shì ， rú guǒ cāi xiǎng zhēn de zhèng què 。 xuán huáng jiè jí jiāng zhuì rù xiān xū ， chuán fǎ tiān zūn què bù táo pǎo ， fǎn ér shù qiān nián rú yī rì de zài gǎi zào shì jiè ， zhè yòu shì wèi hé ？”
“只是，如果猜想真的正确。玄黄界即将坠入仙墟，传法天尊却不逃跑，反而数千年如一日的在改造世界，这又是为何？”
"But if my guess is correct, and the Xuanhuang Realm is about to fall into the Immortal Wasteland, why doesn't the Transcendental Sage flee? Instead, he has been transforming the world for thousands of years. Why?"
“ nán bù chéng ， zhèng shì yīn wèi wán chéng le duì shì jiè de gǎi zào ， chuán fǎ tiān zūn cái dé yǐ chāo tuō ？” yòu xiǎng dào shàng yī shì shí jǐ nián hòu chuán fǎ tiān zūn lí kāi xuán huáng jiè de shì qíng ， lǐ fán bù jīn yòu chuǎi cè dào 。
“难不成，正是因为完成了对世界的改造，传法天尊才得以超脱？”又想到上一世十几年后传法天尊离开玄黄界的事情，李凡不禁又揣测道。
"Could it be that only after completing this transformation did the Transcendental Sage achieve transcendence?" Li Fan mused, recalling the Transcendental Sage's departure from the Xuanhuang Realm a decade later in his previous life.
chà nà jiān shǎn guò zhū duō niàn tou ， lǐ fán zàn qiě jiāng xīn zhōng yí huò yā xià 。
刹那间闪过诸多念头，李凡暂且将心中疑惑压下。
A myriad of thoughts flashed through Li Fan’s mind as he temporarily suppressed his doubts.
“ xī mén xiōng dàng zhēn shì jīng tiān wěi dì zhī qí cái ， néng gòu cóng xì wēi chù kuī jiàn tiān dì běn mào ， wǒ kàn jí biàn shì hé dào qiáng zhě ， yě bù yuǎn bù rú nǐ yě ！” lǐ fán jué kǒu chēng zàn dào 。
“西门兄当真是经天纬地之奇才，能够从细微处窥见天地本貌，我看即便是合道强者，也不远不如你也！”李凡绝口称赞道。
"Brother Xiemen is truly a master of weaving heaven and earth. You can see the essence of the universe even from subtle details. Even if it were a Combined Dao powerhouse, you would still be far superior!" Li Fan praised him wholeheartedly.
ér hòu yòu huà fēng yī zhuǎn ：“ rú cǐ jīng shì hài sú de yán jiū ， bù zhī dào yǒu kě yǒu zhe zuò xiáng xì lùn shù ？ rú cǐ wǒ fāng hǎo chè yè bài dú a ！”
而后又话锋一转：“如此惊世骇俗的研究，不知道友可有着作详细论述？如此我方好彻夜拜读啊！”
Then, his tone shifted: "Such groundbreaking research—do you have any writings that detail your findings? I could read them through the night!"
xī mén yǔ xiān shì yǒu xiē dé yì ， bù guò dāng lǐ fán wèn qǐ yǒu guān zhe shū shì yí zhī hòu ， yī shí jiān què shì yǒu diǎn zhī zhī wú wú 、 xiǎn de shí fēn jiǒng pò 。
西门羽先是有些得意，不过当李凡问起有关着书事宜之后，一时间却是有点支支吾吾、显得十分囧破。
Initially pleased with himself, Xiemen Yu hesitated when Li Fan asked about publishing. He eventually revealed that he had almost completed a full version of *The Ancient and Modern Examination of Mountains and Rivers*, but it was rejected by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance due to unsuitable content.
lǐ fán zài sān zhuī wèn zhī xià ， cái bù dé yǐ shuō chū de shí qíng 。
李凡再三追问之下，才不得以说出的实情。
After much prodding from Li Fan, Xiemen Yu admitted that he had deleted some parts and resubmitted for approval. Despite numerous revisions, his work still failed scrutiny until only a single long article remained.
yuán lái ， zhī qián tā yǐ jīng jī běn wán chéng le quán běn 《 shān hé gǔ jīn kǎo 》 de zhuàn xiě ， zhèng xiǎng zhe fā biǎo 、 míng chuí qiān gǔ de shí hòu 。
原来，之前他已经基本完成了全本《山河古今考》的撰写，正想着发表、名垂千古的时候。
"Hmm, since then I've lost all enthusiasm. I just earn contribution points with my knowledge and occasionally change research directions."
tā què shōu dào le wàn xiān méng de jǐng gào 。
他却收到了万仙盟的警告。
"By the way, I'm currently focusing on researching the flow of earth veins. If you're interested, we could exchange ideas," Xiemen Yu said with a hint of melancholy.
xiān méng guān fāng rèn wéi ，《 shān hé gǔ jīn kǎo 》 yī shū zhōng ， yǒu xǔ duō bú shì hé gōng kāi de nèi róng ， xū yào jìn xíng xiū gǎo 。
仙盟官方认为，《山河古今考》一书中，有许多不适合公开的内容，需要进行修稿。
Li Fan pondered for a moment before whispering, "Do you still have a backup copy of your original manuscript?"
dàn què méi yǒu zhǐ chū jù tǐ nǎ xiē nèi róng fàn le jì huì 。
但却没有指出具体哪些内容犯了忌讳。
Xiemen Yu chuckled: "The *Ancient and Modern Examination* is my lifelong study deeply embedded in my mind. Why would I need a backup?"
xī mén yǔ wú nài zhī xià ， zhǐ dé shān jiǎn le yī bù fèn ， chóng xīn shàng chuán jìn xíng shěn pī 。 jié guǒ què yī rán méi yǒu guò shěn 。
西门羽无奈之下，只得删减了一部分，重新上传进行审批。结果却依然没有过审。
"However, it can't be transmitted through the Heavenly Xuan Mirror. If you really want to read it, come to Qihong Island in Leyang State," Xiemen Yu said.
zhí dào zuì hòu ， jiāng hòu hòu yī běn zhe zuò shān de qī líng bā luò ， zhǐ shèng xià yī piān zhǎng wén gū líng líng de xìng cún 。
直到最后，将厚厚一本着作删的七零八落，只剩下一篇长文孤零零的幸存。
Leyang State was located east of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's central region, about ten states away from Cunyun Sea. However, a full transmission wouldn't take long.
“ hē hē ， cóng nà yǐ hòu wǒ yě xīn huī yì lěng le ， zhǐ shì kào zhe zì shēn suǒ xué ， zhuàn diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。 shùn biàn gǎi huàn yán jiū fāng xiàng 。”
“呵呵，从那以后我也心灰意冷了，只是靠着自身所学，赚点贡献度。顺便改换研究方向。”
Li Fan immediately agreed.
“ duì le ， zuì jìn wǒ zhèng zài zhì lì yú yǒu guān dì mài liú dòng de yán jiū ， rú guǒ dào yǒu yǒu xìng qù ， dǎo shì kě yǐ hù xiāng jiāo liú xià 。” xī mén yǔ yǔ qì zhōng lüè dài chóu chàng de shuō dào 。
“对了，最近我正在致力于有关地脉流动的研究，如果道友有兴趣，倒是可以互相交流下。”西门羽语气中略带惆怅的说道。
"By the way, Brother Xiemen, those locations you searched for but couldn’t find—could they be within the White Mist Barrier?"
lǐ fán chén yín piàn kè ， xiǎo shēng xún wèn ：“ bù zhī shū jí yuán gǎo ， dào yǒu hái yǒu bèi fèn ma ？”
李凡沉吟片刻，小声询问：“不知书籍原稿，道友还有备份嘛？”
"Can you mark their possible positions on the map?" Li Fan asked as he was about to end their communication.
xī mén yǔ dǎ le gè hā hā ：“《 gǔ jīn kǎo 》 nǎi wǒ bì shēng suǒ xué ， yǐ jīng shēn shēn kè zài wǒ nǎo hǎi zhōng ， hái yào shén me bèi fèn ？”
西门羽打了个哈哈：“《古今考》乃我毕生所学，已经深深刻在我脑海中，还要什么备份？”
Xiemen Yu seemed surprised: "Could it be that you want to venture into the White Mist and explore its secrets?"
“ bù guò wú fǎ tōng guò tiān xuán jìng chuán shū wán zhěng bǎn běn 。 rú guǒ dào yǒu nǐ zhēn de xiǎng bài dú ， kě lái lè yáng zhōu qí hóng yǔ zhǎo wǒ 。”
“不过无法通过天玄镜传输完整版本。如果道友你真的想拜读，可来乐阳州奇宏屿找我。”
"Not necessarily. I just want to keep a record. After all, the devouring white mist is fierce; who would willingly go there without a good reason?" Li Fan smiled but didn't confirm his intentions.
lè yáng zhōu wèi yú wàn xiān méng zhōng bù piān dōng ， jù lí cóng yún hǎi yǒu shí jǐ gè zhōu de jù lí 。 bù guò quán chéng chuán sòng ， yě bìng bù xū yào duō jiǔ 。
乐阳州位于万仙盟中部偏东，距离丛云海有十几个州的距离。不过全程传送，也并不需要多久。
"If one day my life comes to an end, maybe I'll still have the courage to venture into it."

"That's good. I thought you were another madman," Xiemen Yu muttered.
lǐ fán dāng jí yīng xià 。
李凡当即应下。
"Another madman? What do you mean by that, Brother Xiemen?" Li Fan became curious and asked quickly.
“ duì le ， xī mén dào yǒu ， nà xiē wǒ wěi tuō nǐ xún zhǎo ér shǐ zhōng bù dé jiàn de dì diǎn ， nǐ shuō yǒu kě néng shì luò rù le bái wù bì zhàng de fàn wéi zhī nèi 。”
“对了，西门道友，那些我委托你寻找而始终不得见的地点，你说有可能是落入了白雾壁障的范围之内。”
"Hmm, nothing special. During field surveys, I've seen a crazy cultivator repeatedly enter and exit the White Mist Barrier."
“ néng bù néng wèi wǒ zài dì tú shàng jiàng tā men kě néng cún zài de wèi zhì biāo zhù chū lái ？” zài jí jiāng duàn kāi tōng xùn zhī qián ， lǐ fán wèn dào 。
“能不能为我在地图上将它们可能存在的位置标注出来？”在即将断开通讯之前，李凡问道。
"At first, he was young; now, he's old. I don't know if he’s still alive," Xiemen Yu continued.
xī mén yǔ wén yán yǒu xiē chà yì ：“ nán bù chéng ， dào yǒu nǐ shì xiǎng shēn rù bái wù qù yī tàn jiū jìng ？”
西门羽闻言有些诧异：“难不成，道友你是想深入白雾去一探究竟？”
"This is just common sense—only those who survive can study it."
“ què yě wèi bì ， zhǐ shì liú gè niàn xiǎng bà le 。 bì jìng shì yuán bái wù xiōng měng ， shuí huì xián huó de tài zhǎng ， méi shì qù nà lǐ miàn ne 。” lǐ fán xiào le xiào ， méi yǒu chéng rèn 。“ rú guǒ yǒu yī tiān ， děng wǒ shòu yuán jiāng jǐn le ， shuō bù dìng hái yǒu kě néng qù qí zhōng tàn xiǎn yóu lì yī fān 。”
“却也未必，只是留个念想罢了。毕竟噬元白雾凶勐，谁会嫌活的太长，没事去那里面呢。”李凡笑了笑，没有承认。“如果有一天，等我寿元将尽了，说不定还有可能去其中探险游历一番。”
Xiemen Yu scoffed, his tone dismissive.
“ nà jiù hǎo ， wǒ hái yǐ wéi yòu yù jiàn yí gè fēng zi ne 。” xī mén yǔ dōu nāng zhe shuō le jù 。
“那就好，我还以为又遇见一个疯子呢。”西门羽都囔着说了句。
As he spoke, he transmitted a map with several marked locations.
“ yòu yù jiàn yí gè fēng zi ？ xī mén dào yǒu nǐ zhè shì hé yì ？” lǐ fán lái le xìng qù ， lián máng wèn dào 。
“又遇见一个疯子？西门道友你这是何意？”李凡来了兴趣，连忙问道。
"I'll think of ways to find more information in the coming days. If I can't solve it, I won't contact you again," Xiemen Yu said before going silent.
“ hāi ， méi shén me tè bié de 。 jiù shì zhī qián shí dì tàn cè dì xíng de shí hòu ， céng duō cì qīn yǎn mù dǔ guò yí gè fēng fēng diān diān de xiū shì cóng bái wù bì zhàng zhōng pǎo jìn pǎo chū 。”
“嗨，没什么特别的。就是之前实地探测地形的时候，曾多次亲眼目睹过一个疯疯癫癫的修士从白雾壁障中跑进跑出。”
Li Fan carefully examined the map and noticed that the markers were scattered across various states within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. These locations had been chosen by Li Fan from regions where Linhu Chang's memory was concentrated in adjacent one or two states.
“ zuì kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， tā hái shì qīng nián mú yàng 。 dào le hòu lái ， yǐ jīng biàn dé chuí chuí lǎo yǐ le 。 bù zhī dào tā xiàn zài shì bú shì hái huó zhe 。”
“最开始的时候，他还是青年模样。到了后来，已经变得垂垂老矣了。不知道他现在是不是还活着。”
This confirmed Xiemen Yu’s research.
“ yě céng quàn guò tā ， tā què bù tīng 。 zhǐ shì bù duàn shuō zhe bái wù bì zhàng yǒu dà mì mì ……”
“也曾劝过他，他却不听。只是不断说着白雾壁障有大秘密……”
Sure enough, the Xuanhuang Realm had been torn apart and reformed.
“ zhè bú shì fèi huà me ， nǐ dé yǒu mìng qù yán jiū cái shì 。”
“这不是废话么，你得有命去研究才是。”
Staring at the map, Li Fan remained silent for a long time before deleting all information.
xī mén yǔ chī zhī yǐ bí ， yǔ qì bù xiè 。
西门羽嗤之以鼻，语气不屑。
"For now, we should buy materials to refine the Elixir of Immortality from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror. Once we have a batch, let Third Daoist Liu use the Samantabhadra True Boat to venture into the depths of the White Mist and see if there's anything to discover."
yī biān shuō zhe ， yī biān jiāng yī fù dài yǒu shù gè biāo jì de dì tú chuán le guò lái 。
一边说着，一边将一副带有数个标记的地图传了过来。
"If that fails, I could consider planting them in my Wood Attribute Cave Heaven within the Five Elements Immortal Realm," Li Fan said.
“ shèng xià de zhè jǐ gè wǒ zhè jǐ tiān zài xiǎng xiǎng bàn fǎ ， kàn yǒu méi yǒu jiě kāi de kě néng 。 rú guǒ shí zài bù xíng ， wǒ jiù bù lián xì nǐ le 。” shuō wán ， nà biān biàn méi yǒu le shēng xī 。
“剩下的这几个我这几天再想想办法，看有没有解开的可能。如果实在不行，我就不联系你了。”说完，那边便没有了声息。
His Five Elements Immortal Realm was still in its infancy. Its size, scale, and concentration of qi were far from those that had caused a war between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders' Association.
lǐ fán zǐ xì duān xiáng dì tú ， fā xiàn biāo jì sàn luò 、 fēn bù yú wàn xiān méng lǐng dì gè chù 。 ér zhè xiē dì diǎn ， dāng chū lǐ fán yǒu yì tiāo xuǎn de shí hòu ， dōu shì xuǎn de zài líng hú chāng de jì yì zhōng ， xiāng duì jí zhōng zài xiāng lín de yī liǎng gè zhōu nèi de 。
李凡仔细端详地图，发现标记散落、分布于万仙盟领地各处。而这些地点，当初李凡有意挑选的时候，都是选的在令狐昌的记忆中，相对集中在相邻的一两个州内的。
However, the fundamental nature remained unchanged, offering endless potential.
yóu cǐ kě jiàn ， xī mén yǔ de yán jiū bù jiǎ 。
由此可见，西门羽的研究不假。
"Planting spirit plants would also help refine the laws within my Wood Attribute Cave Heaven. But I'm not an expert in this field..."
guǒ rán xuán huáng jiè bèi sī liè 、 zhòng sù le 。
果然玄黄界被撕裂、重塑了。
Li Fan suddenly recalled Chen Ying from the Medicine Hall of the Cunyun Sea in his previous life. He had been missing since being drafted into the Five Elements Immortal Realm but hadn't yet perished due to Li Fan's warning.
dīng zhe dì tú ， lǐ fán jiǔ jiǔ bù yǔ 。 xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， fāng cái jiāng dì tú xìn xī chè dǐ shān chú 。
盯着地图，李凡久久不语。许久之后，方才将地图信息彻底删除。
"Perhaps he’s still within the realm, busy with something," Li Fan remembered that in his previous life, after 38 years, the Five Elements Immortal Realm was drained of resources, leading to a balance reset and eventual annihilation.
“ mù qián hái shì xiān cóng tiān xuán jìng zhōng gòu mǎi liàn zhì cháng shēng dān cái liào 。 děng jī zǎn xià lái le yī pī hòu ， zài ràng liǔ sān yù shǐ zhe pǔ xián zhēn zhōu qù wǎng bái wù shēn chù yī tàng 。 kàn néng bù néng yǒu suǒ fā xiàn 。”
“目前还是先从天玄镜中购买炼制长生丹材料。等积攒下来了一批后，再让柳三御使着普贤真舟去往白雾深处一趟。看能不能有所发现。”
"I wonder if the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will repeat this mistake." Li Fan didn’t know why the alliance was so aggressively extracting resources from the Five Elements Immortal Realm. However, Chen Ying’s continued absence suggested that their activities hadn't ceased.
“ shí zài bù xíng ， yě kě yǐ kǎo lǜ zài wǒ wǔ xíng dòng tiān zhōng de mù shǔ xìng dòng tiān lǐ zhòng zhí 。”
“实在不行，也可以考虑在我五行洞天中的木属性洞天里种植。”
After some thought, Li Fan shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.
rú jīn lǐ fán de wǔ xíng dòng tiān fǎ yù ， bù guò hái shì chū shēng de pēi tāi 。
如今李凡的五行洞天法域，不过还是初生的胚胎。
Just as he was about to return to Shenhua Island, he received a message through the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.
wú lùn shì dà xiǎo guī mó 、 hái shì líng qì nóng hòu chéng dù ， dōu yuǎn bù néng gēn zhī qián yǐn qǐ wàn xiān méng hé wǔ lǎo huì dà zhàn de nà ge xiāng tí bìng lùn 。
无论是大小规模、还是灵气浓厚程度，都远不能跟之前引起万仙盟和五老会大战的那个相提并论。
The original island master of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, a Transcendent Immortal and Sage of Great Harmony, had finally returned after being drafted into the alliance headquarters for years. He ordered Li Fan, the "Secret Messenger," to meet him immediately.
Hearing Xiemen Yu's confident words, Li Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Time flows, increasing and decreasing in order. Is this a change within the Xuanhuang Realm itself or caused by external forces?"
Li Fan instinctively recalled the mysterious Transcendental Sage who appeared only briefly before vanishing.
