běn zūn lǐ fán zhè cái huí guò shén lái ， wēi wēi diǎn tóu ， miàn sè yán sù dào ：“ xiān méng zhì bǎo tiān xuán jìng ， guǒ rán gēn xuán tiān jiào yǒu suǒ guān lián 。”
本尊李凡这才回过神来，微微点头，面色严肃道：“仙盟至宝天玄镜，果然跟玄天教有所关联。”
Li Fan finally came to his senses, nodding slightly and saying with a serious expression, "The Heavenly Mystical Mirror of the Immortal Alliance is indeed related to the Xuantian Sect."
dāng xià bǎ fēn shēn yòng 【 zhū xuán 】 mì fǎ gǎn yìng dào de chǎng jǐng miáo shù le yī biàn 。
当下把分身用【诛玄】秘法感应到的场景描述了一遍。
He then described the scene he sensed using the technique [Zhu Xuan].
jiāng yù shān wén yán zhòu méi dào ：“ sān shēng dīng xiǎng ， zhè yǐ jīng shì xuán tiān jiào zhōng zuì gāo jí bié de cún zài jǐng shì le 。 kàn lái ， zhè shén me tiān xuán jìng ， qí shí jiù shì dāng nián de xuán tiān jìng 。”
姜玉珊闻言皱眉道：“三声叮响，这已经是玄天教中最高级别的存在警示了。看来，这什么天玄镜，其实就是当年的玄天境。”
Qiang Yushan frowned as she said, "Three chimes. This is already the highest level warning within the Xuantian Sect. It seems that this Heavenly Mystical Mirror is actually the Xuantian Realm from back then."
liǔ sān què miàn lù bù jiě zhī sè ：“ míng zì bù guò qián hòu duì diào ， yǒu hé yì yì ？ rú guǒ shuō wèi le yǐn cáng zì shēn lái lì ， dà kě yǐ huàn gè wán quán bù xiāng gān de míng zì 。 gèng hé kuàng ， xuán tiān jiào sǐ dí 、 xiān dào shí zōng rú jīn zǎo yǐ huī fēi yān miè ， gēn běn méi yǒu yǎn rén ěr mù dì bì yào ba ？”
柳三却面露不解之色：“名字不过前后对调，有何意义？如果说为了隐藏自身来历，大可以换个完全不相干的名字。更何况，玄天教死敌、仙道十宗如今早已灰飞烟灭，根本没有掩人耳目的必要吧？”
Liu San looked puzzled and asked, "Just swapping the names around, what's the significance? If they wanted to hide their origins, they could have chosen a completely unrelated name. Moreover, the Xuantian Sect’s archenemies, the Ten Immortal Sects, are long gone. There's no need for such secrecy."
jiāng yù shān yáo yáo tóu ， jiě shì dào ：“ fēi zhǐ shì huàn gè míng zì zhè bān jiǎn dān 。 wǒ céng tīng shuō ， xuán tiān bǎo jìng 、 lái lì shén mì 。 yìng zhào shì jiān wàn xiàng ， yǒu wú shàng wēi néng 。 dāng nián xiān dào shí zōng nèi yǒu guò cāi cè ， cǐ jìng huò xǔ bìng fēi xuán huáng jiè běn tǔ zhī wù ， ér shì kě néng lái zì xiān jiè 。”
姜玉珊摇摇头，解释道：“非只是换个名字这般简单。我曾听说，玄天宝镜、来历神秘。映照世间万象，有无上威能。当年仙道十宗内有过猜测，此镜或许并非玄黄界本土之物，而是可能来自仙界。”
Qiang Yushan shook her head and explained, "It's not just about changing names. I heard that the Xuantian Treasure Mirror is mysterious in origin, capable of reflecting all phenomena in the world with supreme power. Back then, there were speculations within the Ten Immortal Sects that this mirror might not be from the Xuanhuang Realm but could have come from the Immortal Realm."
lǐ fán mù guāng yī níng 。
李凡目光一凝。
Li Fan's gaze sharpened.
ér yuán běn shén qíng huǎng hū dì dīng zhe 【 zhōng mò shí pán 】 yán jiū de fāng zài jì ， yě shì hū de tái qǐ tóu lái ， kàn xiàng jiāng yù shān ：“ xiān jiè ？！”
而原本神情恍惚地盯着【终末石盘】研究的方再济，也是忽的抬起头来，看向姜玉珊：“仙界？！”
Fang Zaiji, who had been intently studying the Endstone Plate, suddenly looked up and stared at Qiang Yushan with surprise: "The Immortal Realm?!"
tā shī shēng dào 。
他失声道。
He exclaimed.
jiāng yù shān zì gù zì chén wěn shuō dào ：“ bìng bú shì shén me nán yǐ chuǎi duó zhī shì 。 xuán tiān jiào zhī zhǔ ， bàn bù zhēn xiān 【 xuán tiān wáng 】， zài fēi shēng zhī qián ， shēn shàng bìng méi yǒu lèi sì yú jìng zi de fǎ bǎo 。 dàn shì tā zì shēng xiān tōng dào guī lái hòu ， shēn shàng jiù duō chū le zhè me yī kuài bǎo bèi 。 zài tā yǐ bàn xiān zhī qū héng sǎo xuán huáng jiè chuàng lì xuán tiān jiào de guò chéng zhōng ， xuán tiān bǎo jìng yě qǐ le zhì guān zhòng yào de zuò yòng 。”
姜玉珊自顾自沉稳说道：“并不是什么难以揣度之事。玄天教之主，半步真仙【玄天王】，在飞升之前，身上并没有类似于镜子的法宝。但是他自升仙通道归来后，身上就多出了这么一块宝贝。在他以半仙之躯横扫玄黄界创立玄天教的过程中，玄天宝镜也起了至关重要的作用。”
Qiang Yushan continued calmly, "It’s not something hard to fathom. The Xuantian Sect's leader, half-step True Immortal [Xuantian Wang], didn't have a mirror-like treasure before ascending. But after returning from the path of ascension, he gained this treasure. During his process of sweeping through the Xuanhuang Realm and founding the Xuantian Sect with his semi-immortal body, the Heavenly Mystical Mirror played a crucial role."
“ fǒu zé ， yě bù zhì yú jí biàn zài xuán tiān jiào miè wáng zhī hòu ， xiān dào shí zōng réng rán duì qí chuí yán 、 gù jì bù yǐ ， shèn zhì bù xī kāi chū yī xí cháng shēng guǒ wèi de xuán shǎng le 。”
“否则，也不至于即便在玄天教灭亡之后，仙道十宗仍然对其垂延、顾忌不已，甚至不惜开出一席长生果位的悬赏了。”
"Otherwise, even after the fall of the Xuantian Sect, the Ten Immortal Sects still revered it, offering rewards for its acquisition, including a position in the Elixir Fruit Rank."
“ ér xiū wèi dào le zhēn xiān jìng jiè ， qí míng huì běn shēn jiù dài biǎo zhe mǒu zhǒng lì liàng 。”
“而修为到了真仙境界，其名讳本身就代表着某种力量。”
"At the True Immortal realm, their names themselves represent some kind of power."
bù zhī xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， jiāng yù shān xiàn rù le duǎn zàn de chén mò zhī zhōng 。
不知想起了什么，姜玉珊陷入了短暂的沉默之中。
Lost in thought, Qiang Yushan fell silent for a moment.
lǐ fán shì shí wèn dào ：“ jiāng zhǎng lǎo cǐ huà zěn me jiǎng ？”
李凡适时问道：“姜长老此话怎么讲？”
Li Fan asked, "What do you mean by that, Elder Qiang?"
“ zài xiān lù wèi jué zhī qián ， xuán huáng jiè lì shǐ shàng céng yǒu guò bù shǎo chéng gōng dù jié fēi shēng de xiū shì 。 shèn zhì hái yǒu xiē shì xiān dào shí zōng de zōng mén zhǎng bèi 。 dàn dāng hòu lái rén ， xiǎng yào zhuī shù 、 chá yuè zhè xiē zhēn xiān de shí hòu ……”
“在仙路未绝之前，玄黄界历史上曾有过不少成功渡劫飞升的修士。甚至还有些是仙道十宗的宗门长辈。但当后来人，想要追述、查阅这些真仙的时候……”
"Before the Immortal Path was cut off, there were many successful cultivators who ascended to the heavens. Some even belonged to the elders of the Ten Immortal Sects. But when later generations wanted to trace and research these True Immortals..."
“ què fā xiàn suǒ yǒu guān yú tā men de jì zǎi ， dōu zì xíng xiāo shī le 。”
“却发现所有关于他们的记载，都自行消失了。”
"...they found all records about them had vanished on their own."
“ bù jǐn lián tā men dāng nián de shì jì tōng tōng zhǎo bú dào rèn hé jì zǎi ， shèn zhì tā men de míng zì ， dōu wú fǎ bǎo cún xià lái 。”
“不仅连他们当年的事迹通通找不到任何记载，甚至他们的名字，都无法保存下来。”
"Not only could they not find any records of their deeds, but their names couldn't be preserved either."
“【 zhēn xiān wú míng 】。 huò zhě shuō ， dāng wán chéng le zhēn xiān tuì biàn zhī hòu ， tā men jiù yǐ jīng chéng le wǒ men wán quán wú fǎ lǐ jiě de cún zài 。”
“【真仙无名】。或者说，当完成了真仙蜕变之后，祂们就已经成了我们完全无法理解的存在。”
"True Immortals without names. Or perhaps, after completing the transformation into a True Immortal, they became beings beyond our comprehension."
liǔ sān yǔ fāng zài jì zhè liǎng wèi hé dào xiū shì ， zài tīng wén zhè yī fān huà ， jù shì mǎn mù zhèn jīng 。
柳三与方再济这两位合道修士，在听闻这一番话，俱是满目震惊。
Liu San and Fang Zaiji, both cultivators who had reached the Dao-Integration realm, were equally stunned.
“ guài bù dé ， wǒ dāng nián biàn yóu xuán huáng jiè ， dōu zhǐ tīng shuō shàng gǔ yǒu xiān ， què cóng bù zhī xiān zhī míng xìng 。” fāng zài jì gèng shì huǎng rán dào 。
“怪不得，我当年遍游玄黄界，都只听说上古有仙，却从不知仙之名姓。”方再济更是恍然道。
"That's why I never heard of their names when I traveled through the Xuanhuang Realm," Fang Zaiji said with realization.
jiāng yù shān jiē zhe shuō dào ：“ zhēn xiān rú cǐ ， zhēn xiān fǎ bǎo yì rán 。 suī rán fǎ bǎo bù rú zhēn xiān nà bān ， zhēn míng bù xiǎn shì jiān 。 dàn xiǎng bì yě duì yìng zhe mǒu zhǒng guī zé lì liàng 。 cóng 【 xuán tiān 】 dào 【 tiān xuán 】， yīng dāng cún zài zhe bù wéi rén zhī de qí miào biàn huà 。”
姜玉珊接着说道：“真仙如此，真仙法宝亦然。虽然法宝不如真仙那般，真名不显世间。但想必也对应着某种规则力量。从【玄天】到【天玄】，应当存在着不为人知的奇妙变化。”
Qiang Yushan continued, "True Immortals have this for their treasures as well. Although treasures don't show their true names in the world like True Immortals do, they must correspond to some kind of rule power. The change from Xuantian to Heavenly Mystical should have some unknown and wondrous significance."
yī xí yǔ bì ， qí yú sān rén dōu bèi chuán wén zhōng zhēn xiān de lì liàng zhèn hàn ， yī shí jiān xiàn rù le chén mò zhī zhōng 。
一席语毕，其余三人都被传闻中真仙的力量震撼，一时间陷入了沉默之中。
Silence followed Qiang Yushan's words.
bù jiǔ hòu ， hái shì fāng zài jì zuì xiān fǎn yìng guò lái ：“ tiān xuán jìng shì zhēn xiān fǎ bǎo ， nà me tā de cì shēng tǐ ， bù jiù xiāng dāng yú bàn gè xiān qì ？”
不久后，还是方再济最先反应过来：“天玄镜是真仙法宝，那么它的次生体，不就相当于半个仙器？”
Fang Zaiji was the first to react: "If the Heavenly Mystical Mirror is a True Immortal treasure, then its secondary body would be equivalent to half an immortal artifact?"
liǎn sè shùn jiān yīn wèi jī dòng ér zhǎng de tōng hóng ， tā jǐn jǐn zhuā zhù 【 zhōng mò shí pán 】， yī liù yān pǎo de wú zōng 。
脸色瞬间因为激动而涨的通红，他紧紧抓住【终末石盘】，一溜烟跑的无踪。
His face flushed with excitement as he clutched the Endstone Plate tightly and ran off without a trace.
“ zōng zhǔ fàng xīn ， wǒ zhè jiù bì guān hǎo hǎo yán jiū tā ！ méi gè jié guǒ ， wǒ zhè bèi zi jiù bù chū lái le ！”
“宗主放心，我这就闭关好好研究它！没个结果，我这辈子就不出来了！”
"I'll close myself in to study it properly! I won't come out until I get results!"
shēn yǐng xiāo shī bú jiàn ， shēng yīn què réng rán bù duàn huí dàng 。
身影消失不见，声音却仍然不断回荡。
His figure vanished, but his voice echoed on.
lǐ fán wēi wēi yáo tóu ， ér hòu duì jiāng yù shān zhì xiè ：“ jiāng zhǎng lǎo bù kuì shì xiān dào shí zōng zhēn chuán ， bó wén qiáng zhì 、 jiàn duō shí guǎng 。 zhè děng zhēn xiān yǐn mì ， wǒ què shì cóng wèi tīng shuō guò 。”
李凡微微摇头，而后对姜玉珊致谢：“姜长老不愧是仙道十宗真传，博闻强识、见多识广。这等真仙隐秘，我却是从未听说过。”
Li Fan shook his head slightly and thanked Qiang Yushan. "Elder Qiang is truly a true disciple of the Ten Immortal Sects, with extensive knowledge and experience. Such secrets about True Immortals are unheard of to me."
liǔ sān yě gǎn tàn dào ：“ xiǎng wǒ men yào wáng zōng ， yǐ jīng suàn dé shàng zhōng děng zōng mén le 。 què duì yú zhè děng shì zhī zhī shèn shǎo 。”
柳三也感叹道：“想我们药王宗，已经算得上中等宗门了。却对于这等事知之甚少。”
Liu San sighed, "Our Medicine King Sect is already considered an intermediate sect, yet we know so little about such matters."
jiāng yù shān zé yǒu xiē bù yǐ wéi rán ， rú jīn shǔ mó cā de jiān ruì shēng yīn dào ：“ bù guò shì xián xiá shí de tán zī bà le 。 bì jìng xiān lù duàn jué xǔ jiǔ ， shén me xiān rén 、 jiù xiàng shì fán rén kǒu zhōng de shén huà chuán shuō bān ， yáo bù kě jí 。”
姜玉珊则有些不以为然，如金属摩擦的尖锐声音道：“不过是闲暇时的谈资罢了。毕竟仙路断绝许久，什么仙人、就像是凡人口中的神话传说般，遥不可及。”
Qiang Yushan seemed unconvinced and said in a sharp metallic sound, "Just idle talk. After the Immortal Path was cut off for so long, immortals are like myths to ordinary people—unattainable."
tā kàn zhe fāng zài jì xiāo shī de fāng xiàng ， yòu hū de shuō dào ：“ wǒ dé qù dīng zhe tā 。 yào bù rán ， děng tā yǒu gè jié guǒ chū lái ， pà bú shì yào bǎi nián guò qù le 。”
她看着方再济消失的方向，又忽的说道：“我得去盯着他。要不然，等他有个结果出来，怕不是要百年过去了。”
Looking at Fang Zaiji's direction, she added, "I need to keep an eye on him. Otherwise, it might take a hundred years before he gets any results."
“ hē hē ， yě bù zhì yú ba 。 lǎo fāng tā hái shì bǐ jiào kào pǔ de ……” liǔ sān shuō zhe ， què fā xiàn jiāng yù shān shēn xíng yǐ jīng huà zuò yī dào hēi xiàn yuǎn qù 。
“呵呵，也不至于吧。老方他还是比较靠谱的……”柳三说着，却发现姜玉珊身形已经化作一道黑线远去。
"Haha, not necessarily. Old Fang is reliable..." Liu San said, only to find Qiang Yushan had already turned into a black streak and disappeared.
shùn jiān yě yǒu xiē jí le ：“ yù shān ， děng děng wǒ ！”
瞬间也有些急了：“玉珊，等等我！”
Anxiously, he called out, "Qiang Yushan, wait for me!"
shèn zhì dōu méi yǒu gēn lǐ fán gào bié ， jiù zhuī le guò qù 。
甚至都没有跟李凡告别，就追了过去。
He didn't even say goodbye to Li Fan before chasing after her.
chǎng jiān chà nà jiān jiù zhǐ shèng xià le lǐ fán yī rén 。
场间刹那间就只剩下了李凡一人。
Li Fan was left alone in the scene.
“ zhēn xiān wú míng xìng me ……” méi yǒu zài yì lí qù de sān rén ， lǐ fán zhǐ shì huí xiǎng zhe jiāng yù shān de shuō fǎ ， yī shí jiān xiàn rù huǎng hū zhī zhōng 。
“真仙无名姓么……”没有在意离去的三人，李凡只是回想着姜玉珊的说法，一时间陷入恍惚之中。
"True Immortals without names..." Lost in thought, Li Fan pondered Qiang Yushan's words, his mind wandering.
bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ ， tā fāng cái cóng xiá xiǎng zhōng huí guò shén lái 。
不知过了多久，他方才从遐想中回过神来。
After a while, he regained his composure.
“ bái wù tàn suǒ jí jiāng jié shù 、 tiān xuán jìng bù jiǔ jiāng wán chéng tuì biàn ……”
“白雾探索即将结束、天玄镜不久将完成蜕变……”
"The White Mist Exploration is about to end; the Heavenly Mystical Mirror will soon complete its transformation..."
“ rú jīn wàn xiān méng zhèng chǔ yú biàn gé de guān jiàn shí qī ， bù yí wài chū 。 qiě zài zhè cháng shēng gǔ nèi ān xīn děng biàn huà lái lín biàn shì 。”
“如今万仙盟正处于变革的关键时期，不宜外出。且在这长生谷内安心等变化来临便是。”
"Now that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is undergoing significant changes, it’s not advisable to venture out. We should wait for the changes here in the Longevity Valley."
“ yǔn xiān jìng de jìn rù xiàn zhì zǎo yǐ jīng jiě chú ， bù guò cǐ qián dōu zài mí yù zhōng tàn suǒ ， gù méi yǒu shí jiān zài rù 。”
“陨仙境的进入限制早已经解除，不过此前都在迷域中探索，故没有时间再入。”
"Entering the陨仙境 has already been lifted, but we've mostly explored the Labyrinth Realm before. There's no time now."
“ dǎo shì kě yǐ chèn zhe zhè ge jī huì ， zài fǎng tiān jiàn zōng 。”
“倒是可以趁着这个机会，再访天剑宗。”
"This is a good opportunity to visit the Heaven Sword Sect again."
chén yín piàn kè ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng zuò le jué dìng 。
沉吟片刻，李凡已经做了决定。
After some thought, Li Fan made his decision.
bù guò zài jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng zhī qián ， tā què shì qiāo wú shēng xī dì guàng le biàn cháng shēng gǔ yǔ shòu zhǒng jiè 。
不过在进入陨仙境之前，他却是悄无声息地逛了遍长生谷与兽种界。
However, before entering the陨仙境, he quietly strolled through the Longevity Valley and the Beastkind World.
cháng shēng gǔ nèi ， dà bù fèn sū xǐng de yào wáng zōng dì zǐ dōu yǐ jīng wài chū 。 zhǐ guān jiàn wèi zhì yǒu dì zǐ zhí shǒu 。
长生谷内，大部分苏醒的药王宗弟子都已经外出。只关键位置有弟子值守。
Most of the Medicine King Sect disciples in the Longevity Valley had already gone out. Only key positions were guarded by disciples.
ér zài shòu zhǒng jiè nèi ， lǐ fán kàn dào le jǐ dào shú xī de shēn yǐng 。
而在兽种界内，李凡看到了几道熟悉的身影。
In the Beastkind World, Li Fan saw several familiar figures—Xiao Fei, Su Changyu, and Su Xiaomei among them.
zhèng shì lí jiè xiāo fán 、 sū zhǎng yù 、 sū xiǎo mèi děng rén 。
正是离界萧凡、苏长玉、苏小妹等人。
Without their knowledge, his divine sense swept over them, revealing something odd.
shén shí zài tā men háo bù zhī qíng de qíng kuàng xià sǎo guò ， lǐ fán fā xiàn le yī jiàn qí guài de shì qíng 。
神识在他们毫不知情的情况下扫过，李凡发现了一件奇怪的事情。
Although he hadn't managed to guide them much in this life,
zhè yī shì ， suī rán méi yǒu zěn me guǎn tā men 。
这一世，虽然没有怎么管他们。
he had granted them cultivation methods without imposing too many restrictions.
dàn bì jìng yě shì shòu yǔ le xiū xíng zhī fǎ 、 méi yǒu duì tā men guò duō xiàn zhì de 。
但毕竟也是授予了修行之法、没有对他们过多限制的。
Over a decade had passed. Based on the talents they displayed in previous lives, at least one of them should have reached the Golden Core realm by now.
rú jīn yǐ jīng shí duō nián guò qù ， àn zhào qián jǐ shì tā men biǎo xiàn chū de tiān fù lái kàn ， zěn me zhe yě dé yǒu rén tū pò dào jīn dān jìng jiè cái shì 。
如今已经十多年过去，按照前几世他们表现出的天赋来看，怎么着也得有人突破到金丹境界才是。
But...
kě xiàn zài ……
可现在……
Their progress was somewhat disappointing.
tā men de jìn dù què shì yǒu diǎn chā qiáng rén yì 。
他们的进度却是有点差强人意。
Ye Feipeng, who practiced the three methods—cultivation technique, body refinement, and beast soul pearl—had the highest cultivation level but only barely reached mid-Basement Foundation.
gōng fǎ 、 liàn tǐ 、 shòu hún zhū sān fǎ tóng xiū de yè fēi péng jìng jiè zuì gāo ， què yě bù guò kān kān zhù jī zhōng qī 。
功法、炼体、兽魂珠三法同修的叶飞鹏境界最高，却也不过堪堪筑基中期。
Su Xiaomei and Su Changyu, who cultivated techniques, had just broken through to the Basement Foundation stage. The natural treasures provided by the Medicine King Sect were all from the world. Over three years of selling Longevity Elixirs, the sect's treasure vaults had grown increasingly rich.
xiū xíng gōng fǎ de sū xiǎo mèi 、 sū zhǎng yù ， cái gāng tū pò zhù jī qī bù jiǔ 。 tiān dì qí wù zì rán dōu shì yào wáng zōng tí gōng de 。 sān nián shí jiān fàn mài cháng shēng dān ， yào wáng zōng de zōng mén bǎo kù yě rì yì chōng yíng qǐ lái 。
修行功法的苏小妹、苏长玉，才刚突破筑基期不久。天地奇物自然都是药王宗提供的。三年时间贩卖长生丹，药王宗的宗门宝库也日益充盈起来。
V Xiao Feng, who chose to communicate with the imperial beast soul pearls instead of cultivation methods, had completely given up on advancement. He spent his days in the Beastkind World as a Beast God Armor, exerting power and authority.
ér méi xuǎn xiū xíng zhī fǎ ， xuǎn zé gōu tōng dì guó shòu hún zhū de xiāo héng ， gèng shì yǐ jīng chè dǐ bǎi làn 。 méi le jìn qǔ xīn 。
而没选修行之法，选择沟通帝国兽魂珠的萧恒，更是已经彻底摆烂。没了进取心。
"Although they still train faster than me, their current level is clearly not what it should be."
zhěng rì yǐ shòu shén jiǎ zī tài ， yú shòu zhǒng jiè zhōng zuò wēi zuò fú 。
整日以兽神甲姿态，于兽种界中作威作福。
"Is the essence energy gradually disappearing...?"
“ suī rán tā men xiū liàn sù dù réng bǐ wǒ kuài shàng bù shǎo ， dàn què xiǎn rán bú shì tā men yīng yǒu de shuǐ píng 。”
“虽然他们修炼速度仍比我快上不少，但却显然不是他们应有的水平。”
Li Fan pondered this thoughtfully.
Li Fan finally came to his senses, nodding slightly and saying with a serious expression, "The Heavenly Mystical Mirror of the Immortal Alliance is indeed related to the Xuantian Sect."
He then described the scene he sensed using the technique [Zhu Xuan].
Qiang Yushan frowned as she said, "Three chimes. This is already the highest level warning within the Xuantian Sect. It seems that this Heavenly Mystical Mirror is actually the Xuantian Realm from back then."
Liu San looked puzzled and asked, "Just swapping the names around, what's the significance? If they wanted to hide their origins, they could have chosen a completely unrelated name. Moreover, the Xuantian Sect’s archenemies, the Ten Immortal Sects, are long gone. There's no need for such secrecy."

"The White Mist Exploration is about to end; the Heavenly Mystical Mirror will soon complete its transformation..."
"Now that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is undergoing significant changes, it’s not advisable to venture out. We should wait for the changes here in the Longevity Valley."
"Entering the陨仙境 has already been lifted, but we've mostly explored the Labyrinth Realm before. There's no time now."
"This is a good opportunity to visit the Heaven Sword Sect again."
After some thought, Li Fan made his decision.
However, before entering the陨仙境, he quietly strolled through the Longevity Valley and the Beastkind World.
Most of the Medicine King Sect disciples in the Longevity Valley had already gone out. Only key positions were guarded by disciples.
In the Beastkind World, Li Fan saw several familiar figures—Xiao Fei, Su Changyu, and Su Xiaomei among them.
Without their knowledge, his divine sense swept over them, revealing something odd.
Although he hadn't managed to guide them much in this life,
he had granted them cultivation methods without imposing too many restrictions.
Over a decade had passed. Based on the talents they displayed in previous lives, at least one of them should have reached the Golden Core realm by now.
But...
Their progress was somewhat disappointing.
Ye Feipeng, who practiced the three methods—cultivation technique, body refinement, and beast soul pearl—had the highest cultivation level but only barely reached mid-Basement Foundation.
Su Xiaomei and Su Changyu, who cultivated techniques, had just broken through to the Basement Foundation stage. The natural treasures provided by the Medicine King Sect were all from the world. Over three years of selling Longevity Elixirs, the sect's treasure vaults had grown increasingly rich.
V Xiao Feng, who chose to communicate with the imperial beast soul pearls instead of cultivation methods, had completely given up on advancement. He spent his days in the Beastkind World as a Beast God Armor, exerting power and authority.
"Although they still train faster than me, their current level is clearly not what it should be."
"Is the essence energy gradually disappearing...?"
Li Fan pondered this thoughtfully.
