“ āi ， shuō bù qīng ， nǐ qù kàn jiù shì le 。 zhī qián jīn dān qī de zhào shī xiōng bù fèn zhī xià ， yào jiào xùn cǐ rén ， què bèi duì fāng yī jiàn dǎ fān zài dì 。”
“哎，说不清，你去看就是了。之前金丹期的赵师兄不忿之下，要教训此人，却被对方一剑打翻在地。”
"Ah, hard to say. Just go and see for yourself. Before, Senior Brother Zhao from the Golden Core realm was so upset that he wanted to teach this person a lesson, but ended up being knocked down by one sword strike."
“ wǒ yě tīng shuō le ， nà ge jiā huo kàn shàng qù bù guò liàn qì xiū wèi 。 nǐ rèn wéi kě néng ma ？ dìng rán shì bèi zéi rén hùn jìn zōng mén le 。 wǒ kàn shì lái zhě bù shàn nà 。”
“我也听说了，那个家伙看上去不过炼气修为。你认为可能嘛？定然是被贼人混进宗门了。我看是来者不善那。”
"I've heard about it too. That guy doesn't look like he has any cultivation. Do you think it's possible? He must have been mixed in with the sect by thieves. I think we should be wary of him."
“ kuài diǎn ， yī huì bǐ shì dōu gǎn bù shàng le 。”
“快点，一会比试都赶不上了。”
"Hurry up, or you won't make it to the competition."
fēn rǎo de shēng yīn zhōng ， lǐ fán gēn zhe rén qún ， lái dào le yī chù bǐ wǔ chǎng shàng 。
纷扰的声音中，李凡跟着人群，来到了一处比武场上。
Amidst the commotion, Li Fan followed the crowd into a martial arena.
tóng shí nǎo hǎi zhōng yě míng bái le zhè jù shēn tǐ de xìn xī 。
同时脑海中也明白了这具身体的信息。
At the same time, he understood the information about this body: Ji Zhaoxuan, with Golden Core realm cultivation and an inner sect disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect. He was reserved, uninterested in socializing, and deeply immersed in sword techniques.
jī zhào xuàn ， jīn dān xiū wèi ， tiān jiàn zōng nèi mén dì zǐ 。
姬兆炫，金丹修为，天剑宗内门弟子。
"Senior Brother Chen, thank you for your guidance!"
wéi rén chén mò guǎ yán ， bù xǐ jiāo jì ， yī xīn chén zuì yú jiàn dào 。
为人沉默寡言，不喜交际，一心沉醉于剑道。
A pleasant voice caused Li Fan's body to tremble as he snapped back to attention. The owner of this voice was so familiar—it was Mr. Bai!
“ chén shī xiōng ， chéng ràng le ！”
“陈师兄，承让了！”
Li Fan followed the direction from which the voice came but found that the speaker looked unremarkable and bore no resemblance to Mr. Bai.
yī dào hǎo tīng de shēng yīn ràng lǐ fán shēn qū měng zhèn ， shùn jiān huí guò shén lái 。
一道好听的声音让李凡身躯猛震，瞬间回过神来。
However, a certain air about him convinced Li Fan that he was indeed none other than Mr. Bai himself.
yīn wèi zhè shēng yīn de zhǔ rén lǐ fán shí zài tài shú xī le ， zhèng shì ， bái xiān shēng ！
因为这声音的主人李凡实在太熟悉了，正是，白先生！
"Perhaps his original appearance was too conspicuous, so he changed it."
lǐ fán shùn zhe shēng yīn chuán lái de fāng xiàng wàng qù ， què fā xiàn shuō huà de xiū shì yàng mào píng píng 、 gēn bái xiān shēng wán quán shì liǎng gè rén 。
李凡顺着声音传来的方向望去，却发现说话的修士样貌平平、跟白先生完全是两个人。
"But what time is this? Why did he pretend to be an ordinary person and join the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
bù guò tā shēn shàng bù jīng yì jiān liú lù chū de nà zhǒng qì zhì ， ràng lǐ fán què xìn ， tā jiù shì bái xiān shēng běn rén wú yí ！
不过他身上不经意间流露出的那种气质，让李凡确信，他就是白先生本人无疑！
Li Fan's mind was filled with questions as he continued to observe the scene.
“ yīng gāi shì tā yuán běn yàng zi tài guò yǐn rén zhù yì le ， suǒ yǐ biàn huàn le róng mào 。”
“应该是他原本样子太过引人注意了，所以变幻了容貌。”
The Golden Core cultivator named Chen, defeated by Mr. Bai who appeared to have only Qi realm cultivation, didn't show much difficulty accepting it. Instead, he bowed respectfully and sincerely said, "Thank you for your guidance."
“ bù guò ， xiàn zài shì shén me shí hòu 。 tā jiǎ zhuāng pǔ tōng rén ， jiā rù tiān jiàn zōng yòu shì wèi le shén me ？”
“不过，现在是什么时候。他假装普通人，加入天剑宗又是为了什么？”
Then, with a hint of joy, he vanished into seclusion to reflect on his defeat.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng dùn shí yǒng qǐ wú shù yí huò 。
李凡心中顿时涌起无数疑惑。
The spectators were shocked. They realized that this "Qi realm" cultivator was far more complex than they had thought.
dài zhe yí wèn ， lǐ fán jì xù xiàng chǎng zhōng wàng qù 。
带着疑问，李凡继续向场中望去。
At this moment, Li Fan finally noticed something. His gaze fixed on the wooden sword in Mr. Bai's hand.
zhǐ jiàn nà wèi xìng chén de jīn dān xiū shì ， bài yú biǎo miàn liàn qì xiū wèi de bái xiān shēng zhī shǒu hòu ， bìng méi yǒu biǎo xiàn chū shí fēn nán yǐ jiē shòu de yàng zi 。
只见那位姓陈的金丹修士，败于表面炼气修为的白先生之手后，并没有表现出十分难以接受的样子。
"This sword..."
ér shì gǒng le gǒng shǒu ， xīn yuè chéng fú dào ：“ xiè guò qián bèi zhǐ diǎn 。”
而是拱了拱手，心悦诚服道：“谢过前辈指点。”
Li Fan was instantly shaken. He quickly asked his fellow disciples and learned that when Mr. Bai started the competition, he didn't have a proper weapon at hand. Instead, he picked up a piece of wood from nearby trees to make this wooden sword.
suí hòu lüè dài xīn xǐ de lüè guò zhòng rén ， jìng zhí xiāo shī 、 bì guān gǎn wù qù le 。
随后略带欣喜的掠过众人，径直消失、闭关感悟去了。
This revelation left Li Fan in shock once again.
guān zhàn xiū shì yī piàn huá rán 。
观战修士一片哗然。
"Correctly so, this wooden sword is the same one Shuofeng uses."
dōu míng bái le zhè wèi “ liàn qì ” xiū shì ， jué duì bù xiàng kàn shàng qù zhè me jiǎn dān 。
都明白了这位“炼气”修士，绝对不像看上去这么简单。
"Heaven's Wonder [Sword]!"
ér zhè shí hòu ， lǐ fán zhōng yú fā xiàn le shén me 。
而这时候，李凡终于发现了什么。
"How can this be? Such a wonder should have been crafted by Mr. Bai casually?"
mù guāng jǐn jǐn suǒ dìng zài bái xiān shēng shǒu zhōng ná de nà bǐng mù jiàn zhī shàng 。
目光紧紧锁定在白先生手中拿的那柄木剑之上。
"What realm of cultivation does he possess?"
“ zhè bǐng jiàn ……”
“这柄剑……”
These realizations scrambled Li Fan's thoughts. Heaven's Wonder [Sword] was the gathering of sword laws in the world.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng dùn shí wú bǐ zhèn dòng 。
李凡心中顿时无比震动。
Logically, it required the aid of heaven and earth to nurture such a thing. But now, with Mr. Bai, it seemed like a toy for children, casually created.
lián máng xiàng shēn biān de shī xiōng dì men dǎ tīng ， zhè cái zhī dào ， gāng gāng bái xiān shēng kāi shǐ bǐ shì de shí hòu ， shǒu zhōng méi yǒu chèn shǒu de bīng qì 。
连忙向身边的师兄弟们打听，这才知道，刚刚白先生开始比试的时候，手中没有趁手的兵器。
How deep must his understanding of sword techniques and even cosmic principles be?
yú shì cóng yī páng de shù mù zhōng ， suí yì qǔ le yī jié ， zhì zào le zhè bǐng mù jiàn 。
于是从一旁的树木中，随意取了一截，制造了这柄木剑。
This far exceeded Li Fan's imagination.
tīng dào zhè ge shì shí hòu ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng zài dù xiàn rù le zhèn jīng zhī zhōng 。
听到这个事实后，李凡心中再度陷入了震惊之中。
As Li Fan was nearly in a daze, another Golden Core cultivator appeared, using sword light to approach. He wielded forty-nine mother-son swords, launching an attack like a shower of pear blossoms towards Mr. Bai.
“ cuò bù liǎo ， zhè bǐng mù jiàn ， jiù shì rì hòu shuò fēng shǒu shàng nà bǐng 。”
“错不了，这柄木剑，就是日后朔锋手上那柄。”
Mr. Bai raised his hand and lightly swung the sword.
“ tiān zhī qí ，【 jiàn 】！”
“天之奇，【剑】！”
The forty-nine mother-son swords instantly turned against him, clashing in chaos.
“ zhè zěn me kě néng ？ zhè děng qí wù ， jìng rán zhǐ shì bái xiān shēng shùn shǒu wèi zhī ？”
“这怎么可能？这等奇物，竟然只是白先生顺手为之？”
But in an instant, the sword cultivator was defeated.
“ tā ， jiū jìng shén me xiū wèi ？”
“他，究竟什么修为？”
"Did you notice? He's stronger than he was when facing Senior Brother Chen!"
zhè ge fā xiàn ， ràng lǐ fán de sī wéi yī shí jiān xiàn rù le hùn luàn zhī zhōng 。
这个发现，让李凡的思维一时间陷入了混乱之中。
"He must be concealing his strength to tease us!"
tiān zhī qí 【 jiàn 】， nǎi shì shì jiān jiàn zhī fǎ zé de huì jù 。
天之奇【剑】，乃是世间剑之法则的汇聚。
"Now Master Brother is forced to intervene. I wonder if he’s sober."
àn lǐ shuō ， zhǐ yǒu jiè zhù tiān dì zhī qí ， cái néng yùn yù 。
按理说，只有借助天地之奇，才能孕育。
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Li Fan recalled memories of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Master Brother.
dàn xiàn zài ， yú bái xiān shēng shǒu zhōng ， bù guò xiàng xiǎo hái de wán jù bān ， bèi suí shǒu zhì zào chū lái 。
但现在，于白先生手中，不过像小孩的玩具般，被随手制造出来。
The sect’s eldest disciple for ten thousand years, though his seniority was higher than the current sect master. He was lazy by nature, uninterested in managing affairs and only loved drinking. Thus, he used a poor excuse to maintain the title of "Master Brother."
nà me bái xiān shēng duì yú jiàn dào 、 shèn zhì tiān dì zhī lǐ de lǐng wù ， yòu yǒu duō shēn ？
那么白先生对于剑道、甚至天地之理的领悟，又有多深？
His name: Si Tu Yao.
zhè shí zài chāo chū le lǐ fán xiǎng xiàng 。
这实在超出了李凡想象。
Back then, Master Brother Si Tu Yao claimed to be the strongest warrior in the world, attracting many eager cultivators who challenged him.
jiù zài lǐ fán jìn hū dāi zhì de shí hòu ， yòu yǒu yī wèi yuán yīng jiàn xiū ， yù shǐ jiàn guāng ér lái 。
就在李凡近乎呆滞的时候，又有一位元婴剑修，御使剑光而来。
Tired of it, Si Tu Yao found two large stones and placed them at the entrance. He carved the words [Idle Ones, Step Aside] and [Comers, Cease Fighting] on the swords.
shǐ chū yī tào qī qī sì shí jiǔ bǐng zi mǔ jiàn ， rú bào yǔ lí huā bān ， cháo zhe bái xiān shēng gōng qù 。
使出一套七七四十九柄子母剑，如暴雨梨花般，朝着白先生攻去。
After carving the words, he drank a good bottle of wine, laughing loudly, saying that peace would reign henceforth.
bái xiān shēng tái shǒu ， qīng huī yī jiàn 。
白先生抬手，轻挥一剑。
Indeed, most challengers were unable to break past the two large stones at the entrance. They realized their significant gap in strength and left humbly.
sì shí jiǔ bǐng zi mǔ jiàn chà nà jiān jìn shù dǎo gē ， luàn zuò yī tuán 。
四十九柄子母剑刹那间尽数倒戈，乱作一团。
...
bù guò qǐng kè jiān ， jiàn xiū biàn yǐ luò bài 。
不过顷刻间，剑修便已落败。
"Wow, Si Tu Yao must be an extraordinary figure."
“ nǐ men fā xiàn méi yǒu ， tā bǐ gāng gāng duì zhèn chén shī xiōng de shí hòu ， gèng qiáng le ！”
“你们发现没有，他比刚刚对阵陈师兄的时候，更强了！”
Years later, Li Fan, who had once seen these giant stones transformed into a celestial wonder, couldn't help but think this way.
“ kěn dìng shì zài yǐn cáng xiū wèi ， xì shuǎ wǒ men ！”
“肯定是在隐藏修为，戏耍我们！”
"But clearly, he still has some distance to go compared to Mr. Bai."
“ zhè xià dà shī xiōng bù dé bù chū miàn le ， yě bù zhī dào tā jiǔ xǐng le méi yǒu 。”
“这下大师兄不得不出面了，也不知道他酒醒了没有。”
"One is merely Human's Wonder, the other has reached Heaven's Wonder..."
zhòng rén de fēn fēn yì lùn shēng zhōng ， yǒu guān tiān jiàn zōng dà shī xiōng de jì yì ， yě chà nà jiān fú xiàn zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi 。
众人的纷纷议论声中，有关天剑宗大师兄的记忆，也刹那间浮现在李凡脑海。
"Truly inconceivable."
tiān jiàn zōng wàn nián dà dì zǐ 。
天剑宗万年大弟子。
Si Tu Yao’s legendary status further shrouded Mr. Bai in mystery. At present, with his profound cultivation, he faced challenges from Heavenly Sword Sect disciples without discrimination.
shí zé bèi fēn bǐ dāng jīn zhǎng mén hái gāo 。
实则辈分比当今掌门还高。
With a single move, he defeated them all.
bù guò tiān xìng lǎn sǎn ， bù xǐ guǎn lǐ shì wù ， zhǐ ài yǐn jiǔ 。 suǒ yǐ yòng “ shì suǒ yǒu hòu bèi dì zǐ men yǒng yuǎn de shī xiōng ” zhè děng zhuō liè de jiè kǒu ， yì zhí bà zhàn le “ dà shī xiōng ” de tóu xián 。
不过天性懒散，不喜管理事务，只爱饮酒。所以用“是所有后辈弟子们永远的师兄”这等拙劣的借口，一直霸占了“大师兄”的头衔。
The defeated Heavenly Sword cultivators didn't show any disappointment; instead, they seemed to have gained much from the "exchange." Realizing this was a rare opportunity, the disciples eagerly tried their luck.
míng yuē ： sī tú yáo 。
名曰：司徒遥。
Li Fan's heart stirred as he seized his chance and stood before Mr. Bai first among the disciples.
dāng nián ， dà shī xiōng sī tú yáo hào chēng tiān xià zhàn lì dì yī 。 yǐn dé bù shǎo hào zhàn xiū shì ， fēn fēn shàng mén tiǎo zhàn 。
当年，大师兄司徒遥号称天下战力第一。引得不少好战修士，纷纷上门挑战。
Even though he could disregard all beings in the Yellow and Black World, Li Fan still felt a slight tension in front of this extremely mysterious Mr. Bai.
shí zài bèi nòng fán le de sī tú yáo ， bù zhī cóng nǎ nòng lái liǎng kuài dà shí tou ， bǎi zài le shān mén kǒu 。
实在被弄烦了的司徒遥，不知从哪弄来两块大石头，摆在了山门口。
Since entering the Void Immortal Realm in附身mode, he couldn't use his own abilities.
yòng jiàn fēn bié kè xià le 【 xián zhě zhǐ bù 】、【 lái zhě zhǐ gē 】 liǎng xíng dà zì 。
用剑分别刻下了【闲者止步】、【来者止戈】两行大字。
Taking a deep breath, Li Fan recalled the cultivation technique practiced by Ji Zhaoxuan: condensing dantian essence into a sword—a rare method.
jù shuō sī tú yáo kè zì zhī hòu ， dāng chǎng tòng yǐn yī hú hǎo jiǔ ， hā hā dà xiào 。 shuō yǐ hòu jiù qīng jìng le 。
据说司徒遥刻字之后，当场痛饮一壶好酒，哈哈大笑。说以后就清静了。
However, one technique could lead to many others.
guǒ bù qí rán ， zì cǐ zhī hòu ， jué dà duō shù de tiǎo zhàn zhě ， lián mén kǒu liǎng kuài jù shí de xiàn zhì dōu wú fǎ pò chú 。
果不其然，自此之后，绝大多数的挑战者，连门口两块巨石的限制都无法破除。
Using an air-sword as a basis, he managed to partially unleash the power of his divine insight [Pierce Heaven Heart Sword].
shùn jiān míng bái shuāng fāng zhī jiān jù dà de shí lì hóng gōu ， zhǐ dé huī liū liū de lí qù le 。
瞬间明白双方之间巨大的实力鸿沟，只得灰溜溜的离去了。
"Please enlighten me."
……
……
Li Fan said solemnly.
“ sī ， kàn lái zhè sī tú yáo yě shì wèi liǎo bù dé de rén wù 。”
“嘶，看来这司徒遥也是位了不得的人物。”
In the next moment, several sword intents filled with black煞qi suddenly appeared around Mr. Bai.
ruò gān nián hòu ， céng jīng jiàn guò zhè yǐ jīng huà zuò tiān dì qí wù de jù shí de lǐ fán ， bù jīn rú cǐ xiǎng dào 。
若干年后，曾经见过这已经化作天地奇物的巨石的李凡，不禁如此想到。
The black sword let out a long howl, as if it intended to cut Mr. Bai into countless pieces.
“ bù guò xiǎn rán ， tā gēn bái xiān shēng xiāng bǐ ， hái shì yǒu xiāng dāng de chā jù de 。”
“不过显然，他跟白先生相比，还是有相当的差距的。”
"Not bad. The idea is good, but does your heart match the sword?"
“ yí gè bù guò shì rén zhī qí ， lìng wài yí gè zé shì dào dá le tiān zhī qí de jìng jiè ……”
“一个不过是人之奇，另外一个则是到达了天之奇的境界……”
Just when the black sword was about to strike Mr. Bai, it suddenly paused and hung in mid-air. Time seemed to freeze.
“ dàng zhēn shì fěi yí suǒ sī 。”
“当真是匪夷所思。”
Li Fan heard Mr. Bai's pleasant voice in his ears.
sī tú yáo de chuán qí xìng ， gèng ràng bái xiān shēng pī shàng le yī céng shén mì miàn shā 。
司徒遥的传奇性，更让白先生披上了一层神秘面纱。
"A sword used as a tool will treat you the same way."
cǐ kè ， shí lì shēn bù kě cè de tā ， miàn duì tiān jiàn zōng dì zǐ de tiǎo zhàn ， lái zhě bù jù 。
此刻，实力深不可测的他，面对天剑宗弟子的挑战，来者不拒。
Boom!
quán dōu zhǐ yòng yī zhāo ， jiù jiāng tā men jī bài 。
全都只用一招，就将他们击败。
As if a thunderbolt had split through the fog, countless inspirations flashed through Li Fan’s mind.
bèi dǎ bài de tiān jiàn zōng xiū shì men ， bù jǐn méi yǒu ào nǎo 。 ér shì yí gè gè shí fēn huān xǐ ， sì hū zài “ qiē cuō ” zhōng dà yǒu shōu huò 。
被打败的天剑宗修士们，不仅没有懊恼。而是一个个十分欢喜，似乎在“切磋”中大有收获。
All possible iterations of Pierce Heaven Heart Sword appeared before him, leaving him dizzy and unsure how to choose.
"Ah, hard to say. Just go and see for yourself. Before, Senior Brother Zhao from the Golden Core realm was so upset that he wanted to teach this person a lesson, but ended up being knocked down by one sword strike."
"I've heard about it too. That guy doesn't look like he has any cultivation. Do you think it's possible? He must have been mixed in with the sect by thieves. I think we should be wary of him."
"Hurry up, or you won't make it to the competition."
...
Amidst the commotion, Li Fan followed the crowd into a martial arena.
At the same time, he understood the information about this body: Ji Zhaoxuan, with Golden Core realm cultivation and an inner sect disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect. He was reserved, uninterested in socializing, and deeply immersed in sword techniques.
