cǐ zhèn de jīng miào chéng dù ， shèn zhì bù zài shàng yī shì lǐ fán suǒ xué de 【 tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn 】 zhī xià 。
此阵的精妙程度，甚至不在上一世李凡所学的【天玄锁灵阵】之下。
The complexity of this array was not inferior to that of the [Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array] that Li Fan had learned in his previous life.
ráo shì tā hé huáng fǔ sōng èr rén zhèn fǎ zào yì bù sú ， yě yòng le xǔ jiǔ 、 hù xiāng tǎo lùn zhī xià ， cái miǎn qiǎng kàn dǒng le zhè ge zhèn fǎ 。
饶是他和皇甫松二人阵法造诣不俗，也用了许久、互相讨论之下，才勉强看懂了这个阵法。
Even with their considerable expertise in阵法, it took a long time for both Huafu Song and Li Fan to finally understand how this array worked.
dāng rán ， yě jǐn jǐn shì kàn dǒng ér yǐ 。
当然，也仅仅是看懂而已。
Of course, they only understood its structure; the mechanism of how death energy and life energy were transformed within the array was beyond their comprehension.
zhì yú zhèn fǎ rú hé yùn zhuàn ， sǐ qì 、 shēng jī rú hé zhuǎn huà ， zé shì yǒu xiē chāo chū le tā men de lǐ jiě néng lì fàn chóu 。
至于阵法如何运转，死气、生机如何转化，则是有些超出了他们的理解能力范畴。
"Reversing the principles of life and death..."
“ nì sǐ shēng zhī lǐ ……”
“逆死生之理……”
"Could the primary cause of Blue Feather's failure in证道 and the immortal who emerged from the white mist still alive after dying be related to this array?" Li Fan was profoundly shaken.
“ lán yǔ zhèng dào shī bài de yuán xiōng 、 bái wù zhōng zǒu chū de suī sǐ yóu shēng xiū shì ， jiù gēn cǐ chù zhèn fǎ yǒu guān ？” lǐ fán xīn zhōng wú bǐ zhèn dòng 。
“蓝羽证道失败的元凶、白雾中走出的虽死犹生修士，就跟此处阵法有关？”李凡心中无比震动。
Huafu Song muttered, "Death means the end of one’s body and spirit. How can there be a case where someone revives from death? This is unbelievable..."
ér huáng fǔ sōng zé shì zài nán nán zì yǔ ：“ sǐ zé shēn sǐ dào xiāo ， yān yǒu sǐ ér fù shēng zhī lǐ ？ bù kě sī yì 、 bù kě sī yì ……”
而皇甫松则是在喃喃自语：“死则身死道消，焉有死而复生之理？不可思议、不可思议……”
Looking at his two companions, it seemed as if they were under some kind of spell; they remained unconscious for quite a while. Eastern Yaoyang, who was unfamiliar with this array, was both angry and anxious.
】

Finally, he couldn't help but shout in anger to wake them up.
kàn zhe shēn biān de liǎng gè tóng bàn ， jiù xiàng shì zhe le mó yì bān ， guò le xǔ jiǔ dōu méi yǒu qīng xǐng guò lái 。 duì zhèn fǎ yī qiào bù tōng de dōng fāng yào ， xīn zhōng yòu nǎo yòu jí 。
看着身边的两个同伴，就像是着了魔一般，过了许久都没有清醒过来。对阵法一窍不通的东方曜，心中又恼又急。
"Have you two been studying this for so long? Do you have any explanation?" He asked as he frowned.
zhōng yú rěn bú zhù yī shēng nù hè ， jiāng èr rén huàn xǐng 。
终于忍不住一声怒喝，将二人唤醒。
Huafu Song shook his head decisively. "In my opinion, even if our Chief Strategist Lu were here, it might not be possible to set up such a grand array. Such an expansive and magnificent array is unknown to the world, hidden quietly within the white mist domain..."
“ nǐ men liǎng gè yán jiū le zhè me jiǔ ， dào dǐ yǒu méi yǒu gè shuō fǎ ？” tā zhòu méi wèn dào 。
“你们两个研究了这么久，到底有没有个说法？”他皱眉问道。
A look of unease flashed across his face. "It seems we have mistakenly entered a powerful being's [证道长生] setup."
huáng fǔ sōng yáo le yáo tóu ， guǒ duàn huí dá dào ：“ yī wǒ kàn ， cǐ chù zhèn fǎ ， jiù suàn wǒ men cè zhèn táng lù shǒu xí qīn zhì ， yě wèi bì néng bù xià 。 rú cǐ huī hóng jù zhèn ， jū rán bù bèi shì rén suǒ zhī ， qiǎo rán yǐn cáng yú bái wù mí yù zhī zhōng ……”
皇甫松摇了摇头，果断回答道：“依我看，此处阵法，就算我们策阵堂陆首席亲至，也未必能布下。如此恢弘巨阵，居然不被世人所知，悄然隐藏于白雾迷域之中……”
"The white mist domain contains countless illusions, yet it just happened that we encountered this array. It’s hard to say if this is luck or misfortune," Huafu Song said with a grim expression.
tā de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī huáng jì ：“ wǒ men sì hū ， wù rù le yī wèi zhèng zài 【 zhèng dào zhǎng shēng 】 de dà néng bù zhì zhōng 。”
他的脸上闪过一丝惶季：“我们似乎，误入了一位正在【证道长生】的大能布置中。”
"Perhaps, it wasn't by chance. If there are multiple domains containing this array, wouldn’t that be the case?" Li Fan suddenly said.
“ bái wù zhōng mí yù wú shù ， què piān piān bèi wǒ men yù jiàn le bāo hán cǐ zhèn de 。 yě zhēn bù zhī dào shì xìng yùn hái shì bù xìng 。” huáng fǔ sōng miàn sè cǎn rán dào 。
“白雾中迷域无数，却偏偏被我们遇见了包含此阵的。也真不知道是幸运还是不幸。”皇甫松面色惨然道。
Huafu Song was stunned and became even more alarmed, unable to speak further.
“ huò xǔ ， bìng bú shì shén me qiǎo hé 。 ruò bù zhǐ yǒu yī chù mí yù ， cún zài zhe zhè zhèn fǎ ne ？” lǐ fán hū de rú cǐ shuō dào 。
“或许，并不是什么巧合。若不止有一处迷域，存在着这阵法呢？”李凡忽的如此说道。
Li Fan had many unspoken thoughts.
huáng fǔ sōng wén yán ， měng dì lèng zhù 。 ér hòu gèng shì sǒng rán ér jīng ， bù gǎn zài yǔ 。
皇甫松闻言，勐地愣住。而后更是悚然而惊，不敢再语。
He found this domain because he heard a voice similar to "Heavenly Medicine." Following the source of the sound led him here.
lǐ fán shí zé yǐn cáng zhe xǔ duō huà méi yǒu shuō 。
李凡实则隐藏着许多话没有说。
In this domain, there was an array that could reverse life and death. In his previous life, some immortals successfully reversed their deaths, achieving new realms of longevity.
tā shì yīn wèi tīng dào yí sì “ tiān yī ” de ní nán shēng ， cái shùn zhe shēng yīn de lái yuán ， zhǎo dào zhè chù mí yù de 。
他是因为听到疑似“天医”的呢喃声，才顺着声音的来源，找到这处迷域的。
All these clues seemed to logically point towards Heavenly Medicine being behind it all, leading to his own ascension as a Longevity Heaven Sovereign.
cǐ chù mí yù lǐ ， yǒu zhe nì zhuǎn shēng sǐ de dà zhèn 。 ér shàng yī shì ， yǒu xiū shì nì zhuǎn sǐ shēng zhī lǐ chéng gōng ， chéng jiù le xīn de cháng shēng tiān zūn 。
此处迷域里，有着逆转生死的大阵。而上一世，有修士逆转死生之理成功，成就了新的长生天尊。
But...
zhè yī qiè lián qǐ lái ， sì hū jiù néng shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de tuī yǎn chū ， shì 【 tiān yī 】 zài mù hòu zhǔ dǎo le zhè yī qiè 。
这一切连起来，似乎就能顺理成章的推衍出，是【天医】在幕后主导了这一切。
Li Fan still harbored doubts.
yě shì tā ， zài bù jiǔ hòu jìn shēng chéng wéi cháng shēng tiān zūn 。
也是他，在不久后晋升成为长生天尊。
According to logic, this domain’s array was crucial for Heavenly Medicine's证道. Such an important place should not have allowed any mistakes. Why would he let Li Fan and others enter so easily?
dàn ……
但……
"This completely unguarded appearance..."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng què réng rán yǒu xiē yí lǜ 。
李凡心中却仍然有些疑虑。
Could it be a trap? Or perhaps the master of this place did not care much about the array. Alternatively, he had such confidence that no one could disrupt its foundation even if they entered by mistake?
àn lǐ shuō ， cǐ chù mí yù zhōng de zhèn fǎ ， nǎi shì 【 tiān yī 】 zhèng dào zhǎng shēng de guān jiàn 。 rú cǐ zhòng dì ， yuán běn yīng dāng róng bù dé sī háo shǎn shī 。 yòu zěn me huì zhè me qīng yì de jiù ràng lǐ fán děng rén chuǎng rù jìn lái ？
按理说，此处迷域中的阵法，乃是【天医】证道长生的关键。如此重地，原本应当容不得丝毫闪失。又怎么会这么轻易的就让李凡等人闯入进来？
Li Fan recalled his small wooden house on the peak of Great Xuan’s Separation Mountain.
“ zhè fù wán quán bù shè fáng de mú yàng ……”
“这副完全不设防的模样……”
It was where he rested and practiced while waiting for his Truly Real Technique to recharge. Like this domain, it did not have any array defenses.
“ shì xiàn jǐng ？ hái shì cǐ dì de zhǔ rén ， gēn běn duì zhè zhèn fǎ bù shèn zài yì 。 yì huò zhě ， tā yǒu jué duì de xìn xīn ， jiù suàn yǒu rén wù rù ， yě gēn běn wú fǎ dòng zhèn fǎ gēn jī ？”
“是陷阱？还是此地的主人，根本对这阵法不甚在意。亦或者，他有绝对的信心，就算有人误入，也根本无法动阵法根基？”
Only a layer of illusion was set up outside to prevent ordinary people from entering.
lǐ fán hū de xiǎng qǐ le tā zài dà xuán jiě lí shān diān de nà jiān xiǎo mù wū 。
李凡忽的想起了他在大玄解离山巅的那间小木屋。
Because Li Fan thought there was no need for such precautions.
nà shì tā zài děng hòu hái zhēn chōng néng wán bì de qī xī 、 xiū xíng zhī suǒ 。 jiù gēn cǐ chù mí yù yī yàng ， bìng wèi shè zhì shén me zhèn fǎ fáng hù 。
那是他在等候还真充能完毕的栖息、修行之所。就跟此处迷域一样，并未设置什么阵法防护。
"Am I treating commoners as she treats cultivators?"
zhǐ shì zài jiě lí shān wài ， bù xià yī céng zhàng yǎn fǎ ， yǐ fáng fán rén wù rù 。
只是在解离山外，布下一层障眼法，以防凡人误入。
"Is it Heavenly Medicine?"
yīn wèi lǐ fán rèn wéi ， méi yǒu nà ge bì yào 。
因为李凡认为，没有那个必要。
Li Fan couldn't be certain. But he asked himself, if the matter involved his promotion, he would definitely take measures out of caution to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
“ wǒ shì fán rén ， rú tā shì xiū shì ？”
“我视凡人，如她视修士？”
"But she didn’t do that..."
“ shì tiān yī me ？”
“是天医么？”
Just when Li Fan was still puzzled, Eastern Yaoyang's words inadvertently enlightened him.
lǐ fán yě bù néng què dìng 。
李凡也不能确定。
"Brother Huafu, I think you might be wrong. Although we don't understand the array’s intricacies, if it can reverse life and death, shouldn’t the one who set up this array be even more capable of doing so?"
dàn lǐ fán mǐn xīn zì wèn ， jiù suàn zhǐ shì miàn duì fán rén ， rú guǒ shì guān tā de jìn shēng ， nà me chū yú jǐn shèn 、 tā yě jué duì huì bù xià shǒu duàn ， yǐ fáng wàn yī 。
但李凡抿心自问，就算只是面对凡人，如果事关他的晋升，那么出于谨慎、他也绝对会布下手段，以防万一。
"After all, how could someone without understanding the principles have been able to construct such an array? Reversing life and death is already a Longevity Heaven Sovereign's technique. Why haven't I heard of this sovereign’s name before?"
“ ér tā què piān piān méi yǒu zhè me zuò ……”
“而她却偏偏没有这么做……”
Li Fan suddenly understood: "That makes sense. I thought the master here wanted to achieve the reversal through this array, but she might have been able to do it herself long ago. So..."
zhèng dāng lǐ fán mǎn shì bù jiě de shí hòu ， dōng fāng yào de yī xí huà què shì wú yì jiān diǎn xǐng le tā 。
正当李凡满是不解的时候，东方曜的一席话却是无意间点醒了他。
Li Fan looked around.
“ huáng fǔ xiōng ， wǒ jué de nǐ shuō de yǒu xiē bú duì 。 suī rán bù dǒng zhè zhèn fǎ jiū jìng miào zài nǎ lǐ ， bù guò nǐ men shuō tā néng nì zhuǎn shēng sǐ ， nà me bù xià cǐ zhèn de nà wèi qián bèi ， qǐ bù shì gèng néng zuò dào zhè diǎn ？”
“皇甫兄，我觉得你说的有些不对。虽然不懂这阵法究竟妙在哪里，不过你们说它能逆转生死，那么布下此阵的那位前辈，岂不是更能做到这点？”
"This is not a place for证道; rather, it's an experimental ground after achieving immortality!"
“ bì jìng bù dǒng yuán lǐ de huà ， yòu rú hé néng bù zhèn ne ？ néng nì sǐ shēng zhī lǐ ， zhè yǐ jīng shì cháng shēng tiān zūn de shǒu duàn le ba ？ wèi shén me wǒ cóng lái méi yǒu tīng shuō guò zhè wèi tiān zūn de míng hào ？”
“毕竟不懂原理的话，又如何能布阵呢？能逆死生之理，这已经是长生天尊的手段了吧？为什么我从来没有听说过这位天尊的名号？”
His thoughts raced.
lǐ fán dùn shí huǎng rán ：“ shì le 。 wǒ xiān qián yǐ wéi ， cǐ dì de zhǔ rén ， shì yào tōng guò zhè zhèn fǎ ， shí xiàn nì sǐ shēng zhī lǐ 。 dàn yě yǒu kě néng ， tā běn rén zǎo jiù yǐ jīng néng zuò dào zhè diǎn le 。 nà me zhè lǐ ……”
李凡顿时恍然：“是了。我先前以为，此地的主人，是要通过这阵法，实现逆死生之理。但也有可能，她本人早就已经能做到这点了。那么这里……”
"After attaining longevity, the laws of nature change. Logically speaking, a single thought could revive these frozen cultivators from death. But why go through the trouble to set up another array?"
lǐ fán huán gù zuǒ yòu 。
李凡环顾左右。
"What is she researching? Achieving immortality isn't enough; she wants to take it further?"
“ bú shì shén me zhèng dào zhī suǒ 。 ér shì dé dào zhī hòu de shì yàn chǎng ！”
“不是什么证道之所。而是得道之后的试验场！”
Li Fan's gaze shifted towards the center where he had found the life-reversing array.
lǐ fán sī niàn jí zhuǎn 。
李凡思念急转。
"Perhaps, the answer lies there."
“ dé zhèng cháng shēng zhī hòu ， tiān dì fǎ zé yě wèi zhī gēng gǎi 。 àn lǐ lái shuō ， yí niàn zhī jiān ， biàn kě jiāng zhè xiē bīng fēng xiū shì yóu sǐ zhuǎn shēng 。 dàn piān piān yào duō cǐ yī jǔ ， zài bù xià yī dào zhèn fǎ ……”
“得证长生之后，天地法则也为之更改。按理来说，一念之间，便可将这些冰封修士由死转生。但偏偏要多此一举，再布下一道阵法……”
Li Fan said in a low voice: "This senior has likely already achieved Longevity Heaven Sovereign status. This place is abandoned by her, so we can easily enter. Leaving from the array’s core should not be dangerous. Let's move quickly!"
“ tā hái zài yán jiū xiē shén me ？ chéng jiù cháng shēng hái bù gòu ， tā hái yào gèng jìn yí bù ？”
“她还在研究些什么？成就长生还不够，她还要更进一步？”
Without waiting for Huafu and Eastern Yaoyang to react, he dived into the black sea.
lǐ fán de shì xiàn zhuǎn xiàng zhī qián zhǎo dào de 、 nì zhuǎn sǐ shēng dà zhèn de zhèn yǎn chù 。
李凡的视线转向之前找到的、逆转死生大阵的阵眼处。
Seeing that there was no turning back, Huafu and Eastern Yaoyang reluctantly followed.
“ huò xǔ ， dá ān jiù zài nà lǐ 。”
“或许，答桉就在那里。”
As they entered the water, an unimaginable silence enveloped them from all sides. It felt like countless worms were consuming their vitality, much like the Sucking White Mist.
lǐ fán chén shēng dào ：“ zhè wèi qián bèi ， pà bú shì zǎo jiù chéng jiù cháng shēng tiān zūn le 。 cǐ dì yǐ jīng bèi tā fèi qì ， suǒ yǐ wǒ men cái néng rú cǐ qīng yì chuǎng rù jìn lái 。 cóng zhèn yǎn chù lí kāi ， yīng gāi méi yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn 。 wǒ men kuài diǎn dòng shēn ba 。”
李凡沉声道：“这位前辈，怕不是早就成就长生天尊了。此地已经被她废弃，所以我们才能如此轻易闯入进来。从阵眼处离开，应该没有什么危险。我们快点动身吧。”
Li Fan, who had experienced the loss of his lifespan in the white mist, was not unfamiliar with this feeling.
shuō zhe ， bù děng huáng fǔ èr rén fǎn yìng guò lái ， biàn shuài xiān cháo zhe zhèn yǎn chù fēi qù 。
说着，不等皇甫二人反应过来，便率先朝着阵眼处飞去。
He took a deep breath and pulled out five Longevity Pills, swallowing them whole.
huáng fǔ sōng hé dōng fāng yào liǎng rén wén yán ， wēi wēi yī lèng 。 yòu jué de lǐ fán shuō de yǒu diǎn dào lǐ ， yú shì lián máng gēn shàng 。
皇甫松和东方曜两人闻言，微微一愣。又觉得李凡说的有点道理，于是连忙跟上。
As the effects of the pills kicked in, he forced the life energy from the pills to form a protective barrier around him, shielding against the death energy.
bù duō shí ， tā men lái dào dà zhèn zhōng yāng 、 sǐ qì zuì wèi nóng yù zhī chù 。
不多时，他们来到大阵中央、死气最为浓郁之处。
Using his fastest遁法, he descended rapidly into the dark sea.
gāng gāng nà sǐ jì hēi hǎi zhōng de yì shòu ， jiù shì zài cǐ dì xiāo shī de 。
刚刚那死寂黑海中的异兽，就是在此地消失的。
In just a few breaths, he was almost at the bottom.
“ lǐ xiōng ， shì bú shì zài kǎo lǜ yī xià ？” huáng fǔ sōng kàn zhe xià fāng de hēi sè hǎi shuǐ ， bù jīn yǒu xiē fā chù 。
“李兄，是不是再考虑一下？”皇甫松看着下方的黑色海水，不禁有些发憷。
Li Fan's eyes narrowed as he sensed a small vortex ahead.
lǐ fán zé shì dīng zhe hái zhēn miàn bǎn 200% de chōng néng jìn dù ， yáo tóu shuō dào ：“ dāng duàn bù duàn ， fǎn shòu qí luàn 。 cǐ dì wǒ men yǐ jīng tàn biàn ， zài duō tíng liú yě shì wú jì yú shì 。 nán bù chéng ， nǐ hái xiǎng zhe wù tòu zhè nì zhuǎn shēng sǐ dà zhèn 、 rán hòu pò zhèn ér chū me ？ yǔ qí děng sǐ ， bù rú fàng shǒu yī bó ！”
李凡则是盯着还真面板200%的充能进度，摇头说道：“当断不断，反受其乱。此地我们已经探遍，再多停留也是无济于事。难不成，你还想着悟透这逆转生死大阵、然后破阵而出么？与其等死，不如放手一搏！”
Inside it, there was a flicker of life.
shuō bà ， zhōu shēn yī gǔ nóng yù zhì jí de mù shǔ xìng líng lì huán rào 。
说罢，周身一股浓郁至极的木属性灵力环绕。
"That must be it!"
“ gēn jǐn wǒ ！” lǐ fán lěng hē yī shēng ， měng dì yī tóu zhā rù sǐ hǎi zhī zhōng 。
“跟紧我！”李凡冷喝一声，勐地一头扎入死海之中。
Focusing his mind, Li Fan transformed into a beam of light and rushed into the vortex.
jiàn shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， huáng fǔ hé dōng fāng èr rén ， zhǐ dé yǎo yá gēn shàng 。
见事已至此，皇甫和东方二人，只得咬牙跟上。
The next moment...
yī jìn rù hǎi shuǐ zhī zhōng ， nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de sǐ jì zhī qì ， shà shí biàn cóng zhōu zāo gè chù xí juǎn ér lái 。 rú tóng wú shù rú chóng ， kěn shí 、 xī qǔ zhe lǐ fán de shēng jī 。 zhè zhǒng gǎn jué ， gēn shì yuán bái wù jí qí xiāng sì 。
一进入海水之中，难以想象的死寂之气，霎时便从周遭各处席卷而来。如同无数蠕虫，啃食、吸取着李凡的生机。这种感觉，跟噬元白雾极其相似。
A slight dizziness followed by a sudden burst of light.
céng jīng zài bái wù zhōng qīn shēn jīng lì guò shòu yuán liú shì dài jìn de lǐ fán ， bìng bù mò shēng 。
曾经在白雾中亲身经历过寿元流逝殆尽的李凡，并不陌生。
A gentle sea breeze, salty air, and occasional bird calls filled his vision.
xīn zhōng bìng bù zěn me huāng luàn ， yì kǒu qì qǔ chū wǔ méi cháng shēng dān ， rēng jìn zuǐ lǐ 。
心中并不怎么慌乱，一口气取出五枚长生丹，扔进嘴里。
Li Fan found himself on a vast blue ocean.
dāng yào xiào bèng fā zhī jì ， lǐ fán jiāng dān yào zhōng yùn hán de cháng shēng qīng lì bī chū tǐ wài ， xíng chéng yī céng hù zhào 。 dǐ yù zhe sǐ qì de qīn shí 。
当药效迸发之际，李凡将丹药中蕴含的长生青力逼出体外，形成一层护罩。抵御着死气的侵蚀。
Bursting with vitality.
The complexity of this array was not inferior to that of the [Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array] that Li Fan had learned in his previous life.
Even with their considerable expertise in阵法, it took a long time for both Huafu Song and Li Fan to finally understand how this array worked.
Of course, they only understood its structure; the mechanism of how death energy and life energy were transformed within the array was beyond their comprehension.
