huǐ miè yǔ chuàng zào ， cóng lái dōu shì wán quán bù xiāng tóng de shì qíng 。
毁灭与创造，从来都是完全不相同的事情。
Destruction and creation have always been entirely different things.
shí lì qiáng dà de xiū xiān zhě men ， kě yǐ qīng yì zuò dào yí shān fén hǎi 。 dàn shì xiǎng yào tú shǒu niē zào shān hé ， nán dù zé bù zhī dào gāo le duō shǎo bèi 。
实力强大的修仙者们，可以轻易做到移山焚海。但是想要徒手捏造山河，难度则不知道高了多少倍。
Powerful cultivators could easily move mountains and burn seas. But to create a mountain or river with their bare hands would be exponentially more difficult.
kàn shì hěn duō xiū shì néng zuò dào zhè diǎn 。 dàn tā men wú fēi zhǐ shì jiāng zhè ge shì jiè shàng bié chù de shuǐ yǔ tǔ ， yí dòng dào lìng yí gè dì fāng ér yǐ 。
看似很多修士能做到这点。但他们无非只是将这个世界上别处的水与土，移动到另一个地方而已。
It seemed that many cultivators could do this, but in reality, they merely moved water and soil from elsewhere in the world to another place.
gāng gāng xǔ bái zài shòu zhǒng jiè zhōng suǒ zuò de zé bù rán 。
刚刚许白在兽种界中所做的则不然。
What Xu Bai had done just now in the Beast Kindom was different.
nà shì xìn shǒu shēng huā ， píng kōng zào wù 。
那是信手生花，凭空造物。
That was creating something out of thin air, crafting it into existence.
huò zhě shuō ， gǎi tiān huàn dì 。
或者说，改天换地。
Or perhaps, changing heaven and earth.
zuò wéi hé dào qiáng zhě ， liǔ sān yǔ fāng zài jì kàn de shí fēn qīng chǔ 。
作为合道强者，柳三与方再济看的十分清楚。
As a realm master, Liu San and Fang Zaiji understood this clearly.
shòu zhǒng jiè zhōng ， nà tū rán chū xiàn de shān chuān 、 hé liú 、 shù mù ， yuán běn bìng bù zài zhè ge xiǎo shì jiè tiān dào de zì rán yǎn huà fàn wéi zhī nèi 。
兽种界中，那突然出现的山川、河流、树木，原本并不在这个小世界天道的自然衍化范围之内。
The mountains, rivers, and trees that suddenly appeared in the Beast Kindom were not originally part of the natural evolution within this small world's laws.
dàn què bèi xǔ bái shēng shēng qiáng xíng gǎi xiě guī lǜ ， bèi pò yǒu le xiāng yìng biàn huà 。
但却被许白生生强行改写规律，被迫有了相应变化。
But Xu Bai had forcibly rewritten these rules, causing corresponding changes to occur.
bù jǐn shè jí dào dān chún de wù zhì fāng miàn ， gèng guān hū běn yuán de fǎ zé gǎi biàn 。
不仅涉及到单纯的物质方面，更关乎本源的法则改变。
Not only did it involve simple material aspects but also fundamental rule changes.
shòu zhǒng jiè de hōng míng shēng zhú jiàn píng xī ， zài liǔ sān hé fāng zài jì fù zá de yǎn shén zhōng ， xǔ bái cóng dùn wù zhōng xǐng lái 。
兽种界的轰鸣声逐渐平息，在柳三和方再济复杂的眼神中，许白从顿悟中醒来。
The rumbling sounds from the Beast Kindom gradually subsided. In Liu San and Fang Zaiji’s complex gazes, Xu Bai awoke from his enlightenment.
】
】
He sensed the numerous eyes focused on him and was slightly taken aback. Then he keenly noticed the change in the mountains and rivers of the Beast Kindom, realizing what had happened.
chá jué dào jù jí zài zì jǐ shēn shàng de mù guāng ， xǔ bái wēi wēi yī lèng 。
察觉到聚集在自己身上的目光，许白微微一愣。
"Even while still in the process of understanding, my body could naturally perform it. My intent aligned with heaven, as if it were a natural part."
ér hòu mǐn ruì de fā xiàn le shòu zhǒng jiè de shān hé zhī biàn ， yú shì huǎng rán 。
而后敏锐的发现了兽种界的山河之变，于是恍然。
"Remarkable!"
“ shàng zài lǐng wù guò chéng zhōng ， shēn tǐ jiù néng zì rán ér rán shī zhǎn 。 yì yǔ tiān hé ， hún ruò tiān chéng 。”
“尚在领悟过程中，身体就能自然而然施展。意与天合，浑若天成。”
Of course, Li Fan was praising not himself but this incarnation. Or rather, the essence of Bai Master that had created this strange existence.
“ liǎo bù qǐ ！”
“了不起！”
With a mental command, all the scenes from his enlightenment in the Beast Kindom instantly appeared in his mind.
dāng rán ， lǐ fán dǎ xīn dǐ kuā zàn de bú shì zì jǐ ， ér shì zhè jù fēn shēn 。
当然，李凡打心底夸赞的不是自己，而是这具分身。
Xu Bai reflected thoughtfully: "Using my hands as a pen to change heaven and earth. This divine technique can be named [Heaven Alteration]."
huò zhě shuō ， shì zào jiù zhè jù fēn shēn zhǒng zhǒng qí yì zhī chù de ， nà yī lǚ bái xiān shēng de shén yùn 。
或者说，是造就这具分身种种奇异之处的，那一缕白先生的神韵。
The initial inspiration for the [Heaven Alteration] divine technique came from the Reverse Five Elements Life-and-Death Sword.
xīn niàn yī dòng ， gāng gāng zài zì jǐ dùn wù guò chéng zhōng ， shòu zhǒng jiè lǐ fā shēng de yī qiè chǎng jǐng ， dōu shà shí fú xiàn zài nǎo hǎi lǐ 。
心念一动，刚刚在自己顿悟过程中，兽种界里发生的一切场景，都霎时浮现在脑海里。
When Li Fan had first understood this divine technique by comprehending the wonders of the Five Elements Immortal Cave and the Great Annihilation in the root of heaven and earth, he could perform simple "creation": reshaping scattered spiritual energy into spirit stones.
xǔ bái ruò yǒu suǒ sī ：“ yǐ shǒu wèi bǐ ， gǎi tiān huàn dì 。 zhè shì shén tōng ， kě míng 【 tiān biàn 】。”
许白若有所思：“以手为笔，改天换地。这式神通，可名【天变】。”
But when trying to create more complex objects, Li Fan was powerless.
【 tiān biàn 】 shén tōng zuì chū de líng gǎn ， lái yuán yú nì wǔ xíng shēng miè jiàn 。
【天变】神通最初的灵感，来源于逆五行生灭剑。
However, this time, his ability to transform the world with a wave of his hand came from the existence of those seventeen petals of Heavenly Spirit Flower.
dāng chū lǐ fán cóng tiān dì zhī gēn biān zhī wǔ xíng dòng tiān 、 wǔ xíng guī yī dà pò miè děng tiān dì qí jǐng zhōng ， lǐng wù zhè yī shì shén tōng hòu ， biàn kě yǐ shí xiàn jiǎn dān de “ zào wù ”： jiāng kōng zhōng sàn yì de líng qì ， chóng xīn niē chéng líng shí 。
当初李凡从天地之根编织五行洞天、五行归一大破灭等天地奇景中，领悟这一式神通后，便可以实现简单的“造物”：将空中散溢的灵气，重新捏成灵石。
On the Heavenly Spirit Petal, mountains and rivers of Tianling State appeared. Xu Bai scrutinized it carefully, as if entering the petal himself, quickly flying over the former skies of Tianling State. The scenery changed rapidly before him, showing every step in the creation of the world's mountains and rivers.
dàn dāng xiǎng yào píng kōng chuàng zào de shì wù biàn dé fù zá qǐ lái ， lǐ fán jiù wú néng wéi lì le 。
但当想要凭空创造的事物变得复杂起来，李凡就无能为力了。
In simpler terms, heaven acted as a teacher, personally demonstrating the process of creating mountains and rivers to Xu Bai on the Heavenly Spirit Petals.
bù guò zhè cì ， tā zhī suǒ néng shí xiàn huī shǒu jiān suí xīn yì gǎi zào shì jiè 。 zhèng shì yīn wèi nà shí qī bàn tiān líng huā de cún zài 。
不过这次，他之所能实现挥手间随心意改造世界。正是因为那十七瓣天灵花的存在。
Thus, Xu Bai, having achieved enlightenment, learned it well. Following and emulating his celestial teacher, he subconsciously replicated this in the Beast Kindom.
tiān líng huā bàn shàng ， yǒu tiān líng zhōu shān chuān hé liú xiǎn xiàn 。 fēn shēn xǔ bái xì xì duān xiáng ， fǎng fú qiè shēn jìn rù dào huā bàn zhī zhōng ， cóng céng jīng de tiān líng zhōu shàng kōng kuài sù fēi guò 。 yǎn qián jǐng sè fēi sù biàn huàn ， shì jiān shān hé dàn shēng de zhěng gè guò chéng ， yī yī zài tā yǎn qián chéng xiàn 。
天灵花瓣上，有天灵州山川河流显现。分身许白细细端详，仿佛切身进入到花瓣之中，从曾经的天灵州上空快速飞过。眼前景色飞速变换，世间山河诞生的整个过程，一一在他眼前呈现。
"[Heaven Alteration] divine technique flows smoothly for me, but I need repeated trials to fully master it."
yòng zhí bái yì diǎn de yǔ yán lái jiǎng ， jiù shì tiān dì zuò wéi lǎo shī ， qīn shǒu zài tiān líng huā shàng ， wèi xǔ bái yǎn shì shì le yī fān chuàng zào shān hé de guò chéng 。
用直白一点的语言来讲，就是天地作为老师，亲手在天灵花上，为许白演示饰了一番创造山河的过程。
To be precise, outside the Beast Kindom, the current [Heaven Alteration] served more as a spectacle than practical use.
yú shì dùn wù zhī zhōng de xǔ bái ， xué dé yǒu mú yǒu yàng 。 gēn suí 、 xiào páng zhe tiān dì zhī shī ， wú yì shí jiān ， zài shòu zhǒng jiè lǐ tóng bù wán chéng le “ lín mó ”。
于是顿悟之中的许白，学得有模有样。跟随、效彷着天地之师，无意识间，在兽种界里同步完成了“临摹”。
Since Li Fan was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, his influence on heaven and earth was limited.
“【 tiān biàn 】 shén tōng ， xǔ bái shī zhǎn qǐ lái ， háo wú zǔ sāi 。 dàn shì běn zūn xiǎng yào wán quán zhǎng wò ， hái xū yào fǎn fù cháng shì cái xíng 。”
“【天变】神通，许白施展起来，毫无阻塞。但是本尊想要完全掌握，还需要反复尝试才行。”
However, this divine technique held great potential.
yán gé lái jiǎng ， mù qián de tiān biàn ， chū le shòu zhǒng jiè ， guān shǎng zuò yòng jiù yuǎn dà yú shí jì shǐ yòng 。
严格来讲，目前的天变，出了兽种界，观赏作用就远大于实际使用。
Li Fan's main purpose for it was to create "the Essence of Heaven and Earth."
yīn wèi miàn qián lǐ fán zhǐ shì yuán yīng jìng jiè ， néng gòu duì tiān dì zào chéng de yǐng xiǎng shí zài yǒu xiàn 。
因为面前李凡只是元婴境界，能够对天地造成的影响实在有限。
As an essential item for advancing to the Transcendent Realm, the Essence of Heaven and Earth served as a driving force for changing the world.
bù guò zhè què shì yí gè qián tú wú liàng de shén tōng 。
不过这却是一个前途无量的神通。
In Tianling State, thousands of rivers would be born; in Taihua State, thousands of mountains...
lǐ fán mù qián suǒ xiǎng dào de zuì dà yòng tú ， jiù shì zì zào “ tiān dì zhī suǐ ”。
李凡目前所想到的最大用途，就是自造“天地之髓”。
Foundation Establishment cultivators needed to observe impending changes in a certain state before extracting this "driving force" to complete their ascension.
zuò wéi jìn shēng huà shén de bì xū zhī wù ， tiān dì zhī suǐ nǎi shì shǐ de shì jiè fā shēng gǎi biàn de “ cuī dòng lì liàng ”。
作为晋升化神的必需之物，天地之髓乃是使得世界发生改变的“催动力量”。
With hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Cunyun Sea and only two Transcendent Realm cultivators—Zi Yun and Hong Xi—the disparity was clear.
tiān líng jiāng shēng qiān shuǐ 、 tài huá jiāng shēng qiān shān ……
天灵将生千水、太华将生千山……
Observing the heavens for signs of change was already extremely difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Completing the absorption of [Heaven and Earth Essence] alone, without being detected by other covetous Foundation Establishment cultivators, was nearly impossible.
yuán yīng xiū shì xiǎng yào yǐ cǐ wèi píng ， tū pò dào huà shén jìng jiè ， shǒu xiān yào guān cè dào mǒu yī zhōu yù jí jiāng fā shēng de biàn huà 。
元婴修士想要以此为凭，突破到化神境界，首先要观测到某一州域即将发生的变化。
But for Li Fan, who had mastered the [Heaven Alteration] divine technique, he could initiate changes in a remote area, then covertly steal this power to complete his ascension.
ér hòu jiāng zhè “ cuī dòng zhī lì ” chōu qǔ 、 xī shōu ， wán chéng zì shēn jìn jiē 。
而后将这“催动之力”抽取、吸收，完成自身晋阶。
With bolder actions...
cóng yún hǎi yuán yīng xiū shì shù yǐ bǎi jì ， ér huà shén xiū shì zé shì zhǐ yǒu zǐ yún 、 hóng xī liǎng wèi 。
丛云海元婴修士数以百计，而化神修士则是只有紫云、鸿曦两位。
Creating batches of Transcendent Realm cultivators might not be out of the question!
zhè jù dà duàn céng bān de shù liàng chā jù ， zú yǐ shuō míng le qí zhōng de nán dù 。
这巨大断层般的数量差距，足以说明了其中的难度。
Realm masters were almost all state rulers. Transcendent Realm cultivators were undoubtedly the backbone of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
xiǎng yào tí qián guān cè dào tiān dì zhī biàn ， duì xún cháng yuán yīng xiū shì lái shuō ， jiù yǐ jīng shì qiān nán wàn nán 。 ér yào mán guò qí tā hǔ shì dān dān de yuán yīng xiū shì ， dú zì yī rén wán chéng 【 tiān dì zhī suǐ 】 de xī shōu ， gèng shì nán rú dēng tiān 。
想要提前观测到天地之变，对寻常元婴修士来说，就已经是千难万难。而要瞒过其他虎视眈眈的元婴修士，独自一人完成【天地之髓】的吸收，更是难如登天。
If a sudden organization with dozens or even hundreds of Transcendent Realm cultivators appeared, it would surely draw attention from both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association.
dàn duì yú zhǎng wò le 【 tiān biàn 】 shén tōng de lǐ fán ér yán ， wán quán kě yǐ zài mǒu yī piān pì wú rén qū yù ， cuī dòng tiān dì fā shēng gǎi biàn 。
但对于掌握了【天变】神通的李凡而言，完全可以在某一偏僻无人区域，催动天地发生改变。
Of course, all this depended on not being detected during the process of invoking the Yellow and Black Transforming Force.
ér hòu jiāng zhè gǔ lì liàng qiè qǔ ， qīng ér yì jǔ de wán chéng jìn shēng 。
而后将这股力量窃取，轻而易举的完成晋升。
Occasional covert actions might go unnoticed. But large-scale movements would undoubtedly be exposed.
ruò shì dǎn zi zài dà yī diǎn ……
若是胆子再大一点……
At that point, drawing the attention of realm masters or even Longevity Heaven Sages was inevitable.
chéng pī liàng de dǎ zào huà shén xiū shì ， yě bú shì bù kě néng ！
成批量的打造化神修士，也不是不可能！
Therefore, Li Fan needed to test how to perform [Heaven Alteration] in the Yellow and Black World while ensuring his safety.
hé dào xiū shì ， jī hū dōu shì yī zhōu zhǔ zǎi 。 huà shén xiū shì ， jué duì suàn de shàng shì wàn xiān méng de zhōng jiān lì liàng le 。
合道修士，几乎都是一州主宰。化神修士，绝对算的上是万仙盟的中坚力量了。
"Congratulations, Young Master! You have made progress on your path!"
ruò shì tū wù chū xiàn yǒu jǐ shí shàng bǎi wèi huà shén jìng jiè xiū shì de zǔ zhī ， xiǎng lái wú lùn shì wàn xiān méng yì huò zhě wǔ lǎo huì ， dōu bù dé bù jǐn shèn duì dài 。
若是突兀出现有几十上百位化神境界修士的组织，想来无论是万仙盟亦或者五老会，都不得不谨慎对待。
Seeing Li Fan awake, Liu San flew forward to congratulate him with a faint smile. He also sealed off the surrounding space to prevent anyone from discovering that Xu Bai was Li Fan's incarnation.
dāng rán ， zhè yī qiè de qián tí ， shì 【 tiān biàn 】 yǐn dòng xuán huáng biàn lì de guò chéng ， bú huì bèi qiáng zhě kuī tàn dào 。
当然，这一切的前提，是【天变】引动玄黄变力的过程，不会被强者窥探到。
Fang Zaiji’s [Same Vision Eye] also approached: "Using mountains and rivers as canvases, rules as ink, divine techniques as brushes..."
ǒu ěr yī liǎng cì ， zuò de yǐn bì diǎn ， huò xǔ kě yǐ yǐn mán guò qù 。 dàn dà guī mó de yì dòng ， háo wú yí wèn kěn dìng huì shì bào lù de 。
偶尔一两次，做的隐蔽点，或许可以隐瞒过去。但大规模的异动，毫无疑问肯定会是暴露的。
"Master, you truly are remarkable!"
dào shí hòu yǐn lái hé dào 、 nǎi zhì cháng shēng tiān zūn de mù guāng ， yě shì yīng yǒu zhī shì 。
到时候引来合道、乃至长生天尊的目光，也是应有之事。
"I remember there used to be a similar divine technique in the Divine Brush Sect. Unfortunately, it is said that after Chu Youhong created this move, the Divine Brush Sect was utterly destroyed..."
suǒ yǐ mù qián ， rú hé zài xuán huáng jiè zhōng 、 bǎo zhèng zì shēn ān quán de qíng kuàng xià shī zhǎn 【 tiān biàn 】， xū yào lǐ fán yí bù bù de jìn xíng shì tàn 。
所以目前，如何在玄黄界中、保证自身安全的情况下施展【天变】，需要李凡一步步的进行试探。
"This move..."
“ gōng xǐ shǎo zhǔ ， yú dào tú zhī shàng yòu yǒu jīng jìn ！”
“恭喜少主，于道途之上又有精进！”
Liu San’s face twitched; before Fang Zaiji could finish his sentence, he swept his sleeves and hid the golden eyeball.
liǔ sān jiàn lǐ fán sū xǐng ， fēi shēn shàng qián gōng hè dào ， liǎn shàng lù chū dàn dàn de xǐ sè 。
柳三见李凡苏醒，飞身上前恭贺道，脸上露出澹澹的喜色。
Fang Zaiji's voice abruptly stopped, and the area fell silent.
shuō huà de shí hòu yě bù wàng suí shǒu jiāng zhōu wéi kōng jiān fēng suǒ ， yǐ fáng bào lù xǔ bái shì lǐ fán fēn shēn zhī shì 。
说话的时候也不忘随手将周围空间封锁，以防暴露许白是李凡分身之事。
Liu San then relayed Jiao Xiuyuan's conditions to Xu Bai.
ér fāng zài jì cāo zòng de 【 tóng shì zhī yǎn 】， yě còu le guò lái ：“ yǐ shān hé wèi huà juàn ， yǐ fǎ zé wèi mò ， shén tōng wèi bǐ ……”
而方再济操纵的【同视之眼】，也凑了过来：“以山河为画卷，以法则为墨，神通为笔……”
"Jiao Daoist still insists on seeing a rabbit before releasing it," his response was as expected by Xu Bai.
“ zōng zhǔ nǐ dàng zhēn shì liǎo bù dé a ！”
“宗主你当真是了不得啊！”
Extending his left palm, the seventeen petals of Heavenly Spirit Flower flew into his hand.
“ wǒ jì de dāng nián shén bǐ zōng jiù yǒu zhè me yī shì lèi sì de shén tōng 。 zhǐ kě xī jù shuō nà chǔ yóu hóng chuàng chū cǐ zhāo hòu bù jiǔ ， shén bǐ zōng jiù cǎn zāo miè mén le ……”
“我记得当年神笔宗就有这么一式类似的神通。只可惜据说那楚游鸿创出此招后不久，神笔宗就惨遭灭门了……”
Xu Bai smiled and held up one of the transparent petals.
“ zhè zhāo ……”
“这招……”
Though all the frozen petals remained intact, there was one that seemed to represent "the first rays of dawn casting light on the mountains."
liǔ sān de liǎn chōu le chōu ， bù děng fāng zài jì bǎ huà shuō wán 、 biàn dà xiù yī huī ， jiāng jīn sè yǎn zhū shōu le qǐ lái 。
柳三的脸抽了抽，不等方再济把话说完、便大袖一挥，将金色眼珠收了起来。
"This is a copy from the Original Heavenly Spirit Flower. It lacks ten percent of its essence but should suffice..."
fāng zài jì de shēng yīn jiá rán ér zhǐ ， zhōu wéi shùn jiān ān jìng 。
方再济的声音戛然而止，周围瞬间安静。
"Old Master Liu, give this to Jiao Daoist, and he will naturally understand the value of the Heavenly Spirit Flower."
liǔ sān zé xiàng xǔ bái zhuǎn shù le jiāo xiū yuǎn de tiáo jiàn 。
柳三则向许白转述了焦修远的条件。
Xu Bai said calmly.
“ jiāo dào yǒu hái yī rán shì bú jiàn tù zi bù sā yīng a 。” tā de huí yìng zài xǔ bái de yì liào zhī nèi 。
“焦道友还依然是不见兔子不撒鹰啊。”他的回应在许白的意料之内。
Liu San carefully held the transparent petal in his hand, nodded, and departed.
shēn chū zuǒ zhǎng ， shí qī bàn tiān líng huā fēi zhì zhǎng xīn 。
伸出左掌，十七瓣天灵花飞至掌心。
"We need to speed up. We must complete this before the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance announces the grand exploration era."
xǔ bái niān huā yī xiào 。
许白拈花一笑。
"Otherwise, everyone will go exploring the white fog, who would buy my Heavenly Spirit Flower?"
míng míng bèi bīng fēng de tiān líng huā yī piàn huā bàn dōu bù céng shǎo ， dàn què piān piān yǒu yī yìng yǒu “ chū shēng zhāo yáng xié zhào zhào shān luán ” de tòu míng huā bàn ， chū xiàn zài xǔ bái de yòu shǒu zhōng 。
明明被冰封的天灵花一片花瓣都不曾少，但却偏偏有一映有“初生朝阳斜照照山峦”的透明花瓣，出现在许白的右手中。
Xu Bai muttered as he waved his hand like a pen, drawing imitation "Heavenly Spirit Petals" in the air.
Destruction and creation have always been entirely different things.
Powerful cultivators could easily move mountains and burn seas. But to create a mountain or river with their bare hands would be exponentially more difficult.
It seemed that many cultivators could do this, but in reality, they merely moved water and soil from elsewhere in the world to another place.
What Xu Bai had done just now in the Beast Kindom was different.
That was creating something out of thin air, crafting it into existence.
Or perhaps, changing heaven and earth.
As a realm master, Liu San and Fang Zaiji understood this clearly.

Though all the frozen petals remained intact, there was one that seemed to represent "the first rays of dawn casting light on the mountains."
"This is a copy from the Original Heavenly Spirit Flower. It lacks ten percent of its essence but should suffice..."
"Old Master Liu, give this to Jiao Daoist, and he will naturally understand the value of the Heavenly Spirit Flower."
Xu Bai said calmly.
Liu San carefully held the transparent petal in his hand, nodded, and departed.
"We need to speed up. We must complete this before the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance announces the grand exploration era."
"Otherwise, everyone will go exploring the white fog, who would buy my Heavenly Spirit Flower?"
Xu Bai muttered as he waved his hand like a pen, drawing imitation "Heavenly Spirit Petals" in the air.
