huáng fǔ sōng jiàn lǐ fán xiàn rù le chén sī zhī zhōng ， hái yǐ wéi tā yě dòng le huí qù pèng pèng yùn qì 、 xún zhǎo yán shòu bǎo wù de xiǎng fǎ 。
皇甫松见李凡陷入了沉思之中，还以为他也动了回去碰碰运气、寻找延寿宝物的想法。
Feng Hong saw Li Fan lost in thought, assuming that he had also considered returning to take a chance and seek out longevity treasures.
dāng jí lián máng quàn shuō qǐ lái 。
当即连忙劝说起来。
He immediately stepped forward to persuade him. After all, without Li Fan, their efficiency in exploring the Mysterious Domain would certainly not be as high as before. The hope of exchanging for the limited items on the Azure Cloud List was even more remote.
bì jìng yào shì méi yǒu le lǐ fán ， tā hé dōng fāng èr rén xiǎng yào tàn suǒ mí yù ， xiào lǜ kěn dìng jiù bù kě néng xiàng zhī qián nà bān gāo le 。 zài xiǎng yào duì huàn qīng xuán bǎng dān shàng de xiàn dìng bǎo wù ， xī wàng gèng jiā miǎo máng 。
毕竟要是没有了李凡，他和东方二人想要探索迷域，效率肯定就不可能像之前那般高了。再想要兑换青玄榜单上的限定宝物，希望更加渺茫。
"Actually, this time when the Azure Cloud Supreme Immortal issued a bounty, it turns out to be good news for us. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining; many cultivators have been attracted back, reducing the competitive pressure here..." Feng Hong analyzed in a serious manner.
“ qí shí lán yǔ xiān zūn cǐ cì fā bù xuán shǎng ， duì wǒ men ér yán ， dǎo shì yī jiàn hǎo shì 。 suǒ wèi cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng ， yǒu xiāng dāng yī bù fèn xiū shì ， bèi xī yǐn huí qù 。 bái wù zhè biān de jìng zhēng yā lì jiù huì biàn xiǎo ……” huáng fǔ sōng hái xiàng mú xiàng yàng de fēn xī qǐ lái 。
“其实蓝羽仙尊此次发布悬赏，对我们而言，倒是一件好事。所谓此消彼长，有相当一部分修士，被吸引回去。白雾这边的竞争压力就会变小……”皇甫松还像模像样的分析起来。
Li Fan smiled and waved him off: "Brother Feng Hong, you needn't worry. I don’t intend to return. In fact, I might stay longer in the White Mist than both of you."
lǐ fán xiào le xiào ， bǎi shǒu jiāng qí dǎ duàn ：“ huáng fǔ xiōng bù bì dān xīn ， wǒ méi yǒu fǎn huí de xiǎng fǎ 。 ér qiě ， shuō bù dìng wǒ hái huì bǐ nǐ men zài bái wù zhōng dài de gèng jiǔ ne 。”
李凡笑了笑，摆手将其打断：“皇甫兄不必担心，我没有返回的想法。而且，说不定我还会比你们在白雾中待的更久呢。”
Eastern Light immediately became curious: "How so? Brother Li, which item on the Azure Cloud List are you eyeing?"
dōng fāng yào dùn shí hào qí qǐ lái ：“ zěn me ， lǐ xiōng nǐ kàn shàng qīng xuán bǎng shàng nǎ yàng dōng xī le ?”
东方曜顿时好奇起来：“怎么，李兄你看上青玄榜上哪样东西了?”
Li Fan was not hiding his intentions and paused before saying: "[Final Stone Plate]."
lǐ fán yě bù yǐn mán ， dùn le dùn dào ：“【 zhōng mò shí pán 】。”
李凡也不隐瞒，顿了顿道：“【终末石盘】。”
Eastern Light and Feng Hong exchanged glances. "Ten thousand Azure Cloud Points to bet on a secondary body with uncertain effects..."
dōng fāng yǔ huáng fǔ miàn miàn xiāng qù ：“ shí wàn qīng xuán diǎn ， qù dǔ nà zuò yòng shàng qiě bù míng de cì shēng tǐ ……”
东方与皇甫面面相觑：“十万青玄点，去赌那作用尚且不明的次生体……”
Eastern Light couldn't help but advise: "Brother Li, think it over! The risk is too great. If that thing turns out to be just a name and has no practical use, wouldn’t you lose everything? It would be better to look at other items. Even exchanging for a Dao Integration Technique might work! You can always trade it with others even if you don’t plan on using it yourself..."
dōng fāng yào rěn bú zhù quàn dào ：“ lǐ xiōng ， sān sī a ！ fēng xiǎn shí zài tài dà le 。 yào shì nà wán yì jiù míng zì xiǎng liàng diǎn ， shí jì zuò yòng bìng bù dà ， dào shí hòu qǐ bù shì yào kuī de xuè běn wú guī ？ hái bù rú kàn kàn qí tā dōng xī ne 。 nǎ pà huàn yī mén hé dào gōng fǎ yě xíng a ！ jiù suàn zì jǐ yòng bù shàng ， yě kě yǐ ná lái gēn bié rén jiāo yì ……”
东方曜忍不住劝道：“李兄，三思啊！风险实在太大了。要是那玩意就名字响亮点，实际作用并不大，到时候岂不是要亏的血本无归？还不如看看其他东西呢。哪怕换一门合道功法也行啊！就算自己用不上，也可以拿来跟别人交易……”
Eastern Light went on and on, but Feng Hong pondered his opinion: "Final Stone Plate..."
dōng fāng yào xù xù dāo dāo ， huáng fǔ sōng yě shì chén yín zhe gěi chū le zì jǐ de yì jiàn ：“ zhōng mò shí pán ……”
东方曜絮絮叨叨，皇甫松也是沉吟着给出了自己的意见：“终末石盘……”
"Reports say that after the secondary body appeared, no other Heaven Azure secondary bodies were generated for ten years. It had the headquarters so worried they thought there would never be another secondary body."
“ tīng shuō zhè ge cì shēng tǐ dàn shēng zhī hòu ， zú zú shí nián jiān ， dōu méi yǒu qí tā de tiān xuán cì shēng tǐ zài cì chǎn shēng 。 gǎo dé zǒng bù nà bāng rén jǐn zhāng bù yǐ ， hái yǐ wéi cóng cǐ zhī hòu ， dōu bú huì zài yǒu cì shēng tǐ jiàng lín ne 。”
“听说这个次生体诞生之后，足足十年间，都没有其他的天玄次生体再次产生。搞得总部那帮人紧张不已，还以为从此之后，都不会再有次生体降临呢。”
"That’s why it got its name [Final]."
“ zhèng yīn wèi rú cǐ ， tā cái dé dào le 【 zhōng mò 】 zhè ge chēng hū 。”
“正因为如此，它才得到了【终末】这个称呼。”
"But..." Feng Hong frowned slightly, "we originally thought it was special since it caused such a long anomaly in the Heaven Azure Mirror. But after much research, no conclusive results were found, and we had to abandon our studies on it. That might be why the Immortal Alliance included it in the Azure Cloud List."
“ bù guò ……” huáng fǔ sōng wēi wēi zhòu méi dào ，“ shǐ de tiān xuán jìng chǎn shēng zhè me zhǎng shí jiān de yì cháng ， yuán běn hái yǐ wéi tā yǒu shén me tè bié zhī chù 。 jié guǒ yán jiū le hǎo zhǎng shí jiān ， dōu méi gè què qiè de jié guǒ ， zuì zhōng wú nài fàng qì le duì tā de yán jiū 。 zhè huò xǔ yě shì xiān méng zhè cì néng bǎ tā fàng jìn qīng xuán bǎng de yuán yīn 。”
“不过……”皇甫松微微皱眉道，“使得天玄镜产生这么长时间的异常，原本还以为它有什么特别之处。结果研究了好长时间，都没个确切的结果，最终无奈放弃了对它的研究。这或许也是仙盟这次能把它放进青玄榜的原因。”
"Since it’s a Heaven Azure secondary body, there could still be practical uses that the Immortal Alliance hasn’t discovered yet. The price of ten thousand Azure Cloud Points is high, but if we win..."
“ bì jìng shì tiān xuán cì shēng tǐ ， shuō bù dìng hái zhēn yǒu shén me xiān méng shàng wèi fā xiàn de shí yòng zhī chù 。 shí wàn qīng xuán diǎn de biāo jià suī gāo ， dàn ruò shì dǔ duì le ……”
“毕竟是天玄次生体，说不定还真有什么仙盟尚未发现的实用之处。十万青玄点的标价虽高，但若是赌对了……”
Li Fan smiled and continued: "A single bet for countless benefits! I’m willing to give it a try!"
lǐ fán xiào le xiào ， jiē zhe shuō dào ：“ yī běn ér wàn lì yě ！ wǒ yuàn yì yī shì ！”
李凡笑了笑，接着说道：“一本而万利也！我愿意一试！”
Eastern Light whistled in amazement: "Brother Li, your gambling spirit is huge. If you end up with just an ordinary stone..."
dōng fāng yào zé shé dào ：“ lǐ xiōng dǔ xìng hǎo dà 。 yào shì zuì hòu fā xiàn ， nà wán yì zhēn shì gè shá yě méi yǒu de pò shí tou ……”
东方曜咋舌道：“李兄赌性好大。要是最后发现，那玩意真是个啥也没有的破石头……”
"At the very least, it will have some collection value, so you won’t lose everything!" Li Fan chuckled and showed his carefree attitude.
“ nà zuì qǐ mǎ yě yǒu gè shōu cáng jià zhí ， zěn me yě bù zhì yú xuè běn wú guī ！” lǐ fán shěn rán yī xiào ， sǎ tuō zhì jí 。
“那最起码也有个收藏价值，怎么也不至于血本无归！”李凡哂然一笑，洒脱至极。
"Now my only worry is whether anyone else wants to compete with me. There are countless Immortal Alliance cultivators; many must be as risk-loving as I am."
“ xiàn zài wǒ wéi yī dān xīn de ， shì yǒu méi yǒu qí tā rén yào gēn wǒ zhēng 。 xiān méng xiū shì qiān qiān wàn ， dǔ xìng zhòng de ， kěn dìng bù zhǐ wǒ yí gè 。”
“现在我唯一担心的，是有没有其他人要跟我争。仙盟修士千千万，赌性重的，肯定不止我一个。”
Feng Hong clapped his hands: "Then we need to speed up our progress. We’re still far from the ten thousand Azure Cloud Points!"
huáng fǔ sōng fǔ zhǎng dào ：“ nà kàn lái wǒ men yào jiā kuài jìn dù le ， jù lí shí wàn qīng xuán diǎn ， kě hái chà shàng bù shǎo ne ！”
皇甫松抚掌道：“那看来我们要加快进度了，距离十万青玄点，可还差上不少呢！”
After this discussion, the three of them unified their goal and continued exploring the Mysterious Domain with renewed vigor.
zhè yī fān tǎo lùn zhī hòu ， sān rén tǒng yī liǎo mù biāo ， jì xù quán lì tàn suǒ qǐ mí yù lái 。
这一番讨论之后，三人统一了目标，继续全力探索起迷域来。
Time passed swiftly in this process.
shí guāng jiù zài zhè ge guò chéng zhōng cōng cōng liú shì 。
时光就在这个过程中匆匆流逝。
Feng Hong and Eastern Light had already exchanged the [Disentanglement Disc] and [Swallowing Primordial Saint Body Technique], shifting their focus to other treasures. The accumulated Azure Cloud Points were getting closer to ten thousand.
huáng fǔ yǔ dōng fāng zǎo yǐ jīng jiāng 【 jiě lí dié 】 yǔ 【 tūn yuán shèng tǐ gōng 】 duì huàn wán bì ， jiāng mù biāo zhuǎn xiàng qí tā bǎo wù 。
皇甫与东方早已经将【解离碟】与【吞元圣体功】兑换完毕，将目标转向其他宝物。
So far, they had explored thirteen Mysterious Domains, including the initial [Life-and-Death Mysterious Domain].
ér jī zǎn de qīng xuán diǎn yě lí shí wàn yuè lái yuè jìn 。
而积攒的青玄点也离十万越来越近。
As their exploration became more proficient, Li Fan also summarized some patterns about "Mysterious Domains."
rú jīn sān rén tàn suǒ guò de mí yù ， suàn shàng zuì chū de nà ge 【 shēng sǐ mí yù 】， jiā qǐ lái yǐ jīng dá dào le shí sān zhè ge shù zì 。
如今三人探索过的迷域，算上最初的那个【生死迷域】，加起来已经达到了十三这个数字。
Based on the conclusion that "the current Xuanhuang World is a result of ancient Xuanhuang merging with many other worlds," Li Fan realized that these Mysterious Domains might be fragments from the original worlds during their mutual fusion and collision.
shú néng shēng qiǎo 、 tàn suǒ guò chéng yuè fā shú liàn de tóng shí ， lǐ fán yě zǒng jié chū le yī xiē guān yú “ mí yù ” cún zài de guī lǜ 。
熟能生巧、探索过程越发熟练的同时，李凡也总结出了一些关于“迷域”存在的规律。
The Mysterious Domain was full of strange phenomena, often having unique rules, similar to the "strange" in the Xuanhuang World.
hái shì yǐ “ rú jīn de xuán huáng jiè shì yuǎn gǔ xuán huáng jiè róng hé le zhū duō qí tā shì jiè ér dàn shēng ” zhè ge jié lùn wèi jī chǔ ， lǐ fán fā xiàn suǒ wèi de mí yù ， hěn kě néng jiù shì shì jiè zài xiāng hù róng hé 、 pèng zhuàng guò chéng zhōng ， cóng yuán běn de shì jiè zhōng tuō luò de “ suì piàn ”。
还是以“如今的玄黄界是远古玄黄界融合了诸多其他世界而诞生”这个结论为基础，李凡发现所谓的迷域，很可能就是世界在相互融合、碰撞过程中，从原本的世界中脱落的“碎片”。
By comparing the attire and architectural styles of the corpses of cultivators within the Mysterious Domain, Li Fan found that these domains had distinct origins.
mí yù zhōng guǐ jué fēi cháng ， wǎng wǎng yǒu zhe zì shēn dú tè de guī lǜ ， zhè yì diǎn gēn xuán huáng jiè zhōng de “ guǐ yì ” shí fēn xiāng sì 。
迷域中诡谲非常，往往有着自身独特的规律，这一点跟玄黄界中的“诡异”十分相似。
"The world-level evolution is colliding, with the White Mist serving as a buffer..."
ér bǐ duì mí yù zhōng xiū shì shī shēn de yī zhuó dǎ bàn 、 jiàn zhù de tú wén fēng gé ， lǐ fán yòu fā xiàn zhè xiē mí yù hěn xiǎn rán yǒu zhe gè zì bù tóng de lái yuán 。
而比对迷域中修士尸身的衣着打扮、建筑的图纹风格，李凡又发现这些迷域很显然有着各自不同的来源。
After completing another exploration of a Mysterious Domain, Li Fan gained some insights.
“ shì jiè jí bié de yǎn huà zhèng zài pèng zhuàng zhōng fā shēng ， ér bái wù jiù shì qí huǎn chōng dì dài ……”
“世界级别的衍化正在碰撞中发生，而白雾就是其缓冲地带……”
This could explain why there was such vast space in the White Mist, originally being the distance between worlds.
zài dù wán chéng yī chù mí yù de tàn suǒ hòu ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǒu suǒ míng wù 。
再度完成一处迷域的探索后，李凡心中有所明悟。
"Damn it, finding unexplored Mysterious Domains is becoming increasingly difficult."
zhè huò xǔ yě kě yǐ jiě shì wèi hé bái wù zhōng yǒu rú cǐ guǎng kuò de kōng jiān ， yīn wèi nà yuán běn jiù shì shì jiè yǔ shì jiè zhī jiān de jù lí 。
这或许也可以解释为何白雾中有如此广阔的空间，因为那原本就是世界与世界之间的距离。
The True Vessels of Prajna sailed through the White Mist for several days, passing by a few Mysterious Domains. However, the Celestial Measure Mirror kept sending notifications that these areas had already been recorded. Eastern Light couldn't help but curse.
“ tā niáng de ， xiàn zài xiǎng yào zhǎo dào hái méi bèi fā xiàn de mí yù yuè lái yuè nán le 。”
“他娘的，现在想要找到还没被发现的迷域越来越难了。”
Feng Hong held the Disentanglement Disc in his hand, looking somewhat distracted: "It’s normal; almost a year has passed since the Immortal Alliance issued the exploration order. With so many Immortal Alliance cultivators, the shallow parts of the White Mist should have been explored thoroughly. To achieve more success, we need to delve deeper..."
pǔ xián zhēn zhōu zài bái wù zhōng fēi chí le shù tiān ， lù guò jǐ chù mí yù ， liàng tiān jiàn què dōu chuán lái le yǐ jīng jì lù zài àn de tí shì 。 dōng fāng yào rěn bú zhù mà le jù 。
普贤真舟在白雾中飞驰了数天，路过几处迷域，量天鉴却都传来了已经记录在案的提示。东方曜忍不住骂了句。
"Bang!" Feng Hong was interrupted by a loud noise before he could finish his sentence.
huáng fǔ sōng shǒu zhōng bǎ wán zhe jiě lí dié ， yǒu xiē xīn bù zài yān de shuō dào ：“ hěn zhèng cháng ， xiàn zài lí xiān méng xià fā tàn suǒ zhào lìng ， yǐ jīng kuài yào guò qù yī nián le ba 。 yǐ xiān méng xiū shì de shù liàng ， bái wù qiǎn céng bù fèn ， yě yīng gāi tàn suǒ de chà bu duō le 。 jiē xià lái zài xiǎng yào yǒu suǒ shōu huò ， bì xū yào jì xù shēn rù ……”
皇甫松手中把玩着解离碟，有些心不在焉的说道：“很正常，现在离仙盟下发探索诏令，已经快要过去一年了吧。以仙盟修士的数量，白雾浅层部分，也应该探索的差不多了。接下来再想要有所收获，必须要继续深入……”
It seemed as if something had fallen from above onto the True Vessels of Prajna, causing the ship to violently shake for a moment.
“ pēng ！” huáng fǔ sōng huà hái méi shuō wán ， biàn hū de tīng jiàn yī shēng jù xiǎng 。
“砰！”皇甫松话还没说完，便忽的听见一声巨响。
Feng Hong instinctively put away the Disentanglement Disc and used his divine sense to scan. His face turned strange.
fǎng fú yǒu shén me dōng xī cóng shàng fāng zhuì luò zài le pǔ xián zhēn zhōu shàng ， chuán shēn jù liè de huàng dòng le piàn kè 。
仿佛有什么东西从上方坠落在了普贤真舟上，船身剧烈的晃动了片刻。
What they saw was a corpse of a cultivator colliding with their speeding vessel!
huáng fǔ sōng xià yì shí dì jiāng shǒu lǐ de jiě lí dié shōu qǐ ， shén shí sǎo guò zhī hòu ， miàn lù gǔ guài zhī sè 。
皇甫松下意识地将手里的解离碟收起，神识扫过之后，面露古怪之色。
Moreover, from the clothes it wore, this corpse did not come from a Mysterious Domain but from the Immortal Alliance itself!
yīn wèi nà hé fēi chí zhōng pǔ xián zhēn zhōu fā shēng pèng zhuàng de ， hè rán shì yī jù xiū shì de shī shēn ！
因为那和飞驰中普贤真舟发生碰撞的，赫然是一具修士的尸身！
The three on the ship instantly became solemn, suspecting that an Immortal Alliance cultivator had met some misfortune and perished here. They immediately focused their attention to be alert.
ér qiě ， cóng shī tǐ suǒ chuān yī wù lái kàn ， bú shì lái zì mí yù ， ér shì lái zì wàn xiān méng ！
而且，从尸体所穿衣物来看，不是来自迷域，而是来自万仙盟！
But what happened next left Li Fan and his companions in shock.
chuán shàng sān rén shùn jiān miàn sè yī lǐn ， hái yǐ wéi shì yǒu xiān méng xiū shì zài cǐ chù zāo yù le shén me biàn gù 、 bù xìng shēn sǐ 。 lì mǎ níng shén jiè bèi qǐ lái 。
船上三人瞬间面色一凛，还以为是有仙盟修士在此处遭遇了什么变故、不幸身死。立马凝神戒备起来。
"Bang!"
dàn jiē xià lái fā shēng de yí mù ， ràng lǐ fán tā men bù jīn miàn lù hài rán zhī sè 。
但接下来发生的一幕，让李凡他们不禁面露骇然之色。
"Bang!"
“ pēng ！”
“砰！”
At first, it was a few sounds, but they grew increasingly dense.
“ pēng ！”
“砰！”
Continuous collision noises echoed as the True Vessels of Prajna shook violently, with its protective shield becoming precarious. Feng Hong used magic to reinforce it while watching outside, his face pale.
xiān shì yī liǎng shēng ， ér hòu yuè lái yuè mì jí 。
先是一两声，而后越来越密集。
Above them, a black mass descended like raindrops, countless corpses falling from above.
jiē lián bù duàn de pèng zhuàng shēng xiǎng qǐ ， pǔ xián zhēn zhōu de chù zài bù duàn zhèn dòng zhōng 、 fáng hù guāng zhào chà nà jiān biàn dé jí jí kě wēi 。
接连不断的碰撞声响起，普贤真舟的处在不断震动中、防护光罩刹那间变得岌岌可危。
Some bodies were relatively intact, others shattered into pieces.
huáng fǔ sōng yī biān shī fǎ jiāng qí jiā gù ， yī biān kàn zhe wài miàn de chǎng jǐng ， miàn sè cāng bái 。
皇甫松一边施法将其加固，一边看着外面的场景，面色苍白。
But without exception, there was a writhing, distorted black rope around their edges.
zhǐ jiàn tóu dǐng hēi yā yā yī piàn ， wú shù xiū shì shī shēn ， rú tóng yǔ dī bān ， cóng shàng fāng zhuì luò 。
只见头顶黑压压一片，无数修士尸身，如同雨滴般，从上方坠落。
The faces of the occasional corpse did not resemble those in Mysterious Domains, which were grotesque and terrifying. Instead, they had closed eyes with calm expressions.
yǒu de shēn qū shàng qiě bǐ jiào wán zhěng ， yǒu de què shì yǐ jīng zhī lí pò suì 、 zhǐ cún cán zhī 。
有的身躯尚且比较完整，有的却是已经支离破碎、只存残肢。
The rain of corpses never ceased, as if it would never stop.
dàn wú yī lì wài ， tā men de shēn tǐ biān yuán ， sì hū dōu yǒu yī quān niǔ qū 、 rú dòng de hēi sè shéng xiàn de hén jì 。
但无一例外，它们的身体边缘，似乎都有一圈扭曲、蠕动的黑色绳线的痕迹。
Forcing themselves to break through this rain might damage the True Vessels of Prajna.
ǒu ěr kě yǐ kuī jiàn de shī tǐ liǎn páng ， yě bù shì mí yù zhōng suǒ jiàn de nà bān ， zhēng níng kě bù 。
偶尔可以窥见的尸体脸庞，也不似迷域中所见的那般，狰狞可怖。
They stopped their flying vessel and blocked the falling corpses above. Although these were lifeless beings, posing no significant threat, this eerie scene still sent a chill down their spines.
ér shì jǐn bì shuāng yǎn 、 miàn róng píng jìng 。
而是紧闭双眼、面容平静。
(End of Chapter)
Feng Hong saw Li Fan lost in thought, assuming that he had also considered returning to take a chance and seek out longevity treasures.
He immediately stepped forward to persuade him. After all, without Li Fan, their efficiency in exploring the Mysterious Domain would certainly not be as high as before. The hope of exchanging for the limited items on the Azure Cloud List was even more remote.
"Actually, this time when the Azure Cloud Supreme Immortal issued a bounty, it turns out to be good news for us. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining; many cultivators have been attracted back, reducing the competitive pressure here..." Feng Hong analyzed in a serious manner.
Li Fan smiled and waved him off: "Brother Feng Hong, you needn't worry. I don’t intend to return. In fact, I might stay longer in the White Mist than both of you."
Eastern Light immediately became curious: "How so? Brother Li, which item on the Azure Cloud List are you eyeing?"
Li Fan was not hiding his intentions and paused before saying: "[Final Stone Plate]."
Eastern Light and Feng Hong exchanged glances. "Ten thousand Azure Cloud Points to bet on a secondary body with uncertain effects..."
Eastern Light couldn't help but advise: "Brother Li, think it over! The risk is too great. If that thing turns out to be just a name and has no practical use, wouldn’t you lose everything?
