zhè zé gōng gào dài lái de zhèn hàn xìng , bù zài tiān xuán bǎo jiàn zhī xià 。 jiàng
这则公告带来的震撼性,不在天玄宝鉴之下。滰
The shockwaves from this announcement were no less than those from the Heavenly Xuan Treasure Mirror.
gōng gào míng wèi , dà yì rú xià 。
公告名为,大意如下。
The notice read as follows:
“ jīng guò xiān méng xiū shì de bù xiè nǔ lì , wán chéng le xuán huáng jiè bái wù bì zhàng de quán bù tàn suǒ 。 zhè shì yī zuò wěi dà de lǐ chéng bēi , zhí de yǒng yuǎn míng jì 。”
“经过仙盟修士的不懈努力,完成了玄黄界白雾壁障的全部探索。这是一座伟大的里程碑,值得永远铭记。”
"After relentless efforts by the Immortal Alliance cultivators, we have fully explored the White Mist Barrier of the Xuanhuang Realm. This is a great milestone that deserves eternal remembrance."
“ dàn xiān dào jiān nán , qián lù bù zhǐ 。 jiē xià lái , hái yǒu yí gè gèng jiā jiān jù ér wěi dà de rèn wù zài děng dài zhe dà jiā 。”
“但仙道艰难,前路不止。接下来,还有一个更加艰巨而伟大的任务在等待着大家。”
"But the path of immortality is arduous and endless. There is another daunting yet magnificent task awaiting us all."
“ zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī , xuán huáng jiè chú le fēn gē zhōu yù 、 dǐng tiān ér lì de bái wù bì zhàng zhī wài , hái cún zài zhāo shù zhī bù jìn de de dòng tiān xiǎo shì jiè 。”
“众所周知,玄黄界除了分割州域、顶天而立的白雾壁障之外,还存在着数之不尽的的洞天小世界。”
"It is well known that besides the dividing regions and the towering White Mist Barrier, the Xuanhuang Realm also harbors countless hidden small worlds."
“ rú jīn , bái wù bì zhàng yǐ jīng quán bù tàn suǒ wán bì 。 nà me jiē xià lái , shì shí hòu xiàng zhè xiē xiǎo shì jiè jìn jūn le !”
“如今,白雾壁障已经全部探索完毕。那么接下来,是时候向这些小世界进军了!”
"Now that the White Mist Barrier has been fully explored, it's time to advance towards these small worlds! Incorporate them into the rule of our Immortal Alliance and achieve the great unification of the Xuanhuang Realm!"
“ bǎ tā men quán dōu nà rù wàn xiān méng de tǒng zhì zhōng lái , shí xiàn xuán huáng jiè de dà yī tǒng ba !”
“把他们全都纳入万仙盟的统治中来,实现玄黄界的大一统吧!”
"All cultivators who contribute will receive substantial merits and contributions."
“ fán shì wèi cǐ chū lì de xiū shì , dū huì huò dé dà liàng de gōng xūn jí gòng xiàn dù 。” jiàng
“凡是为此出力的修士,都会获得大量的功勋及贡献度。”滰
"When a cultivator carries the Heavenly Xuan Treasure Mirror and encounters pathways leading to hidden small worlds, the mirror will alert them."
“ dāng xiū shì xié dài xuán tiān bǎo jiàn 、 zhōu wéi yù dào tōng xiàng dòng tiān 、 xiǎo shì jiè de tōng dào shí hòu , bǎo jiàn jiù huì fā chū tí xǐng 。”
“当修士携带玄天宝鉴、周围遇到通向洞天、小世界的通道时候,宝鉴就会发出提醒。”
"However, exploring these small worlds is far more perilous than exploring the White Mist. In the White Mist, one might encounter strange and dead entities. But in the small worlds, there could be other cultivators or species with extraordinary powers who may fiercely resist."
“ xū yào zhù yì de shì , tàn suǒ dòng tiān 、 xiǎo shì jiè , yǔ tàn suǒ bái wù bù tóng 。 xiōng xiǎn chéng dù shèn zhì yào yuǎn shèng guò jǐ fēn 。 bái wù zhōng , zuì duō shì xiē guǐ yì 、 sǐ qù de cún zài 。 dàn xiǎo shì jiè zhōng , kě néng huì yǒu xiū shì 、 yǐ jí zhǎng wò zhe bù tóng chāo fán lì liàng de wù zhǒng 。 tā men kě néng huì pīn sǐ fǎn kàng 。”
“需要注意的是,探索洞天、小世界,与探索白雾不同。凶险程度甚至要远胜过几分。白雾中,最多是些诡异、死去的存在。但小世界中,可能会有修士、以及掌握着不同超凡力量的物种。他们可能会拼死反抗。”
"But don't fear!"
“ dàn shì , qǐng bù yòng jù pà !”
“但是,请不用惧怕!”
"Even if you perish, the merits and contributions gained during exploration will not vanish. They will be passed on to your next incarnation along with your true essence."
“ jiù suàn nǐ men bù xìng shēn sǐ , tàn suǒ zhōng huò dé de gōng xūn 、 gòng xiàn dù , yě bú huì suí zhī xiāo shī 。 ér shì huì suí zhe zhuǎn shì zhēn líng yì qǐ , jì chéng dào xià yī shì 。”
“就算你们不幸身死,探索中获得的功勋、贡献度,也不会随之消失。而是会随着转世真灵一起,继承到下一世。”
"The great unification of Xuanhuang is destined to be a long process. But in our fearless spirit as cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, this goal will surely be achieved!"
“ xuán huáng dà yī tǒng , zhù dìng shì gè jí wéi màn cháng de guò chéng 。 dàn xiāng xìn , zài wǒ men xiān méng xiū shì dà wú wèi de jīng shén xià , zhè yī mù biāo bì jiāng zuì zhōng shí xiàn !”
“玄黄大一统,注定是个极为漫长的过程。但相信,在我们仙盟修士大无畏的精神下,这一目标必将最终实现!”
...
……
……
While other cultivators were either exhilarated or filled with doubts, Xu Bai inwardly cursed and immediately understood what his true self was worried about.
bié de xiū shì kàn de huò shì xīn cháo pēng pài 、 huò shì yí lǜ cóng shēng 。 jiàng
别的修士看的或是心潮澎湃、或是疑虑丛生。滰
"Fang Zaiji, have you completed the Endless Round Disk Array?" Li Fan flew to the exit of Eternal Valley and asked in a low voice.
ér xǔ bái zé shì xīn zhōng àn mà yī shēng , dùn shí zhī dào le běn zūn xīn zhōng de bù ān lái zì hé chù le 。
而许白则是心中暗骂一声,顿时知道了本尊心中的不安来自何处了。
This was the first time Li Fan had directly called Fang Zaiji by name. He instantly realized how serious the situation was.
“ fāng zài jì , zhōng mò yuán pán fǎ zhèn gǎo dìng méi yǒu !” lǐ fán fēi shēn zhì cháng shēng gǔ chū kǒu , chén shēng wèn dào 。
“方再济,终末圆盘法阵搞定没有!”李凡飞身至长生谷出口,沉声问道。
Without hesitation, he replied: "I've done my best. But we have never encountered this kind of power before. We need some more time to create an array based on it."
zhè hái shì lǐ fán dì yī cì zhí hū fāng zài jì quán míng , tā dùn shí zhī dào liǎo shì qíng de yán zhòng xìng 。
这还是李凡第一次直呼方再济全名,他顿时知道了事情的严重性。
Li Fan shook his head slightly: "There's no time left. Tell me about the current progress of the array."
bù gǎn dǎ mǎ hǔ yǎn , huí fù dào :“ yǐ jīng jìn lì le 。 dàn shì zhōng de lì liàng , wǒ men zhī qián cóng wèi jiē chù guò 。 xiǎng yào gēn jù qí chuàng zào fǎ zhèn , hái xū yào yì diǎn shí jiān 。”
不敢打马虎眼,回复道:“已经尽力了。但是中的力量,我们之前从未接触过。想要根据其创造法阵,还需要一点时间。”
Fang Zaiji was somewhat surprised but quickly complied.
lǐ fán wēi wēi yáo tóu :“ lái bù jí le 。 jiāng fǎ zhèn mù qián de jìn zhǎn gào sù wǒ 。”
李凡微微摇头:“来不及了。将法阵目前的进展告诉我。”
As Li Fan listened, he took out a Disentanglement Disc and input theprototypeof the array into it.
fāng zài jì wēi wēi yǒu xiē chà yì , bù guò hái shì lián máng zhào bàn 。
方再济微微有些诧异,不过还是连忙照办。
The Disentanglement Disc emitted a faint light as countless images flashed before Li Fan's eyes.
lǐ fán yī biān tīng zhe , yī biān qǔ chū jiě lí dié 。 jiāng zhèn fǎ chú xíng shū rù qí zhōng 。 jiàng
李凡一边听着,一边取出解离碟。将阵法雏形输入其中。滰
After half an hour, the images abruptly stopped, leaving a complete array in Li Fan's mind.
jiě lí dié shàng fàn chū wēi wēi guāng máng , wú shù huà miàn zài lǐ fán yǎn qián fēi sù shǎn guò 。
解离碟上泛出微微光芒,无数画面在李凡眼前飞速闪过。
The light vanished, and Li Fan pointed at the air, transmitting the array to Fang Zaiji, Liu San, and others while they collectively set up the array.
xiǎo bàn tiān zhī hòu , huà miàn dǒu rán jìng zhǐ , yí gè wán zhěng de zhèn fǎ chū xiàn zài lǐ fán de nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
小半天之后,画面陡然静止,一个完整的阵法出现在李凡的脑海中。
Fortunately, their location was well hidden within the mist. By the third day when the array was completed, no other cultivators had discovered it.
guāng máng xiāo shī , lǐ fán líng kōng yī zhǐ , jiāng zhèn fǎ chuán gěi fāng zài jì 、 liǔ sān děng rén de tóng shí 。
光芒消失,李凡凌空一指,将阵法传给方再济、柳三等人的同时。
"Fang Zaiji, the Heavenly Xuan Treasure Mirror sounds like a good thing," Fang Zaiji said with a hint of greed in his eyes after understanding the situation.
gòng tóng bù zhèn qǐ lái 。
共同布阵起来。
"It's probably a delicious poison," Qian Yushan sneered. "I wouldn't even take something that can reveal everything about me."
hǎo zài yùn qì bù cuò , cháng shēng gǔ rù kǒu yě cáng de bǐ jiào yǐn mì , wèi yú mí wù zhī zhōng 。
好在运气不错,长生谷入口也藏的比较隐秘,位于迷雾之中。
Fang Zaiji dismissed this: "Such a divine artifact requires some sacrifice to use. I don’t mind, since I have nothing to hide."
dāng sān tiān hòu , zhèn fǎ bù zhì wán chéng zhī shí 。
当三天后,阵法布置完成之时。
His words caught Li Fan and Qian Yushan's attention, and they exchanged glances with faint hints of murderous intent.
rù kǒu yě méi yǒu bèi qí tā xiū shì fā xiàn 。 jiàng
入口也没有被其他修士发现。滰
Fang Zaiji laughed nervously and quickly changed the subject: "The Immortal Alliance is making significant moves. As far as I know, there are countless small worlds hidden in the Xuanhuang Realm, not to mention secret realms and hidden caves."
“ xuán tiān bǎo jiàn , tīng shàng qù jiù shì gè hǎo dōng xī a 。” yǐ rán liǎo jiě liǎo shì qíng lái lóng qù mài de fāng zài jì , yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī tān lán 。
“玄天宝鉴,听上去就是个好东西啊。”已然了解了事情来龙去脉的方再济,眼中闪过一丝贪婪。
"Back when the Great Tribulation occurred, many sects retreated into these small worlds for refuge. The Immortal Alliance is now encouraging a full exploration..."
“ kǒng pà shì yī jì měi wèi de dú yào 。” jiāng yù shān lěng xiào zhe shuō dào ,“ néng gòu zhào biàn jǐ shēn de dōng xī , sòng gěi wǒ wǒ dōu bú yào 。”
“恐怕是一剂美味的毒药。”姜玉珊冷笑着说道,“能够照遍己身的东西,送给我我都不要。”
He sighed: "The bloody scenes that will follow can be imagined."
fāng zài jì bù yǐ wéi rán :“ rú cǐ shén wù , xiǎng yào shǐ yòng zì rán yào fù chū diǎn dài jià 。 wǒ dǎo shì yì jiàn bù dà , fǎn zhèng wǒ yě méi yǒu shén me jiàn bù dé rén de shì qíng 。”
方再济不以为然:“如此神物,想要使用自然要付出点代价。我倒是意见不大,反正我也没有什么见不得人的事情。”
Liu San frowned: "Even if the powers of the small worlds or hidden caves are formidable, with the Rebirth Mansion in existence, we can resurrect. How do we fight? It's almost certain that despite the difficulty, the ultimate losers will still be the small worlds."
cǐ yán yī chū , què fā xiàn lǐ fán 、 jiāng yù shān de mù guāng hū de luò zài zì jǐ shēn shàng , yǐn yuē chuán lái sī sī shā qì 。
此言一出,却发现李凡、姜玉珊的目光忽的落在自己身上,隐约传来丝丝杀气。
"Perhaps when the Rebirth Mansion was established, the Immortal Alliance already planned a war against these small worlds," Fang Zaiji agreed.
fāng zài jì shàn xiào yī shēng , lián máng zhuǎn yí huà tí :“ wàn xiān méng zhè cì de dòng zuò zhēn shì bù xiǎo 。 jù wǒ suǒ zhī , xuán huáng jiè yùn cáng de xiǎo shì jiè kǒng pà bù xià shù wàn 。 gèng bié tí mì jìng 、 dòng tiān le 。”
方再济讪笑一声,连忙转移话题:“万仙盟这次的动作真是不小。据我所知,玄黄界蕴藏的小世界恐怕不下数万。更别提秘境、洞天了。”
Listening to their conversation, Li Fan remained silent.
“ dāng nián dà jié zhī hòu , shuō bù dòng jiù yǒu bù shǎo zōng mén xiū shì dùn rù qí zhōng bì nàn 。 wàn xiān méng cǐ fān gǔ dòng xiū shì quán miàn tàn suǒ ……”
“当年大劫之后,说不动就有不少宗门修士遁入其中避难。万仙盟此番鼓动修士全面探索……”
In this world, the plans of the Immortal Alliance were intricately linked. Each move had its deeper meaning.
tā zé zé gǎn tàn dào :“ jī hū kě yǐ xiǎng xiàng dào bù jiǔ hòu de xuè xīng chǎng miàn le 。” jiàng
他啧啧感叹道:“几乎可以想象到不久后的血腥场面了。”滰
So, why did they go through such great lengths, even opening up the Heavenly Xuan Treasure Mirror for all cultivators and launching a war against these small worlds?
liǔ sān zhòu méi dào :“ suī rán xiǎo shì jiè 、 dòng tiān de lì liàng huò xǔ bù ruò , dàn xuán huáng jiè rú jīn yǒu wǎng shēng fǔ cún zài , xiū shì dōu néng fù huó 。 zhè zěn me dǎ ? jī hū kě yǐ kěn dìng , suī rán guò chéng yǒu xiē nán , dàn zuì zhōng shū de kěn dìng hái shì xiǎo shì jiè yī fāng 。”
柳三皱眉道:“虽然小世界、洞天的力量或许不弱,但玄黄界如今有往生府存在,修士都能复活。这怎么打?几乎可以肯定,虽然过程有些难,但最终输的肯定还是小世界一方。”
The unification of the Xuanhuang Realm held special significance for the Immortal Alliance?
“ huò xǔ zài wǎng shēng fǔ jiàn lì de shí hòu , xiān méng yǐ jīng jì huà hǎo duì xiǎo shì jiè de zhàn zhēng le 。” fāng zài jì diǎn tóu tóng yì dào 。
“或许在往生府建立的时候,仙盟已经计划好对小世界的战争了。”方再济点头同意道。
Almost instantly, Li Fan recalled those obelisks scattered across the Xuanhuang Realm from his previous life.
tīng zhe liǎng rén de duì huà , lǐ fán zé shì mò rán bù yǔ 。
听着两人的对话,李凡则是默然不语。
After the unification of the Xuanhuang Realm in the past, the Heavenly Alliance seemed to want to use thousands of obelisks to push it away from the influence of the Immortal Void.
cǐ shì , wàn xiān méng de jì huà huán huán xiāng kòu 。 měi yī bù jǔ dòng , dōu yǒu qí shēn yì 。
此世,万仙盟的计划环环相扣。每一步举动,都有其深意。
But this time, there were no signs of such actions.
nà me wèn tí lái le , xiān méng rú cǐ dà fèi zhōu zhāng , bù xī jiāng tiān xuán bǎo jiàn quán mín kāi fàng , fā dòng duì xiǎo shì jiè de zhàn zhēng , zhè yòu shì wèi hé ne ?
那么问题来了,仙盟如此大费周章,不惜将天玄宝鉴全民开放,发动对小世界的战争,这又是为何呢?
Was it due to lack of power or...
xuán huáng jiè de dà yī tǒng , duì yú wàn xiān méng yòu yǒu zhe shén me tè shū de yì yì ?
玄黄界的大一统,对于万仙盟又有着什么特殊的意义?
"The Heavenly Xuan Mirror reveals all. After completing initial ascension within the White Mist Barrier, if we can incorporate countless small worlds into its scope..."
jī hū shì shùn jiān , lǐ fán jiù xiǎng dào le shàng yī shì nà sǒng lì yú xuán huáng jiè gè dì de fāng jiān bēi 。 jiàng
几乎是瞬间,李凡就想到了上一世那耸立于玄黄界各地的方尖碑。滰
"Perhaps we can take another step!"
shàng yī shì xuán huáng guī yī tǒng zhī hòu , tiān méng shì shì xiǎng yào tōng guò chéng qiān shàng wàn zuò fāng jiān bēi de fǎn fāng xiàng tuī dòng , shǐ de xuán huáng jiè tuō lí xiān xū de xī yǐn 。
上一世玄黄归一统之后,天盟似是想要通过成千上万座方尖碑的反方向推动,使得玄黄界脱离仙墟的吸引。
"At that point, perhaps we won't need external forces. Relying solely on the power of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, we could free the Xuanhuang Realm from the Immortal Void."
ér cǐ shì , què méi yǒu kàn dào zhè me zuò de jì xiàng 。
而此世,却没有看到这么做的迹象。
Li Fan's eyes sparkled as he pondered this possibility.
bú shì lì yǒu bù dǎi , ér kě néng shì ……
不是力有不逮,而可能是……
"No matter what, the trend is hard to stop. I must think about how to benefit the most from it."
“ tiān xuán jìng zhào jiàn shì jiān wàn wù 。 dòng xī bái wù bì zhàng nèi , wán chéng chū bù shēng gé 。 rú guǒ néng gòu zài jiāng wú shù xiǎo shì jiè nà rù zì shēn yìng zhào fàn wéi zhī nèi ……”
“天玄镜照见世间万物。洞悉白雾壁障内,完成初步升格。如果能够再将无数小世界纳入自身映照范围之内……”
...
“ wèi bì bù néng zài jìn yí bù !”
“未必不能再进一步!”
Over the next few days, Meng Wushi of Medicine King Sect began the experiment.
“ dào nà shí , huò xǔ gēn běn bù yòng jiè zhù wài lì 。 guāng kào tiān xuán jìng běn shēn de lì liàng , jiù néng dài zhe xuán huáng jiè bǎi tuō xiān xū de shù fù 。”
“到那时,或许根本不用借助外力。光靠天玄镜本身的力量,就能带着玄黄界摆脱仙墟的束缚。”
First, he voluntarily broke away from the connection with the Eternal Spring and Autumn Array to ensure that even if his condition was fully revealed, it would not affect the Medicine King Sect.
lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng , bù jīn xiǎng dào le rú cǐ de kě néng xìng 。 jiàng
李凡目光闪动,不禁想到了如此的可能性。滰
Then, he generated his own Heavenly Xuan Treasure Mirror, activated its detection function, and lingered near the entrance of Eternal Valley.
“ bù guǎn rú hé , dà shì nán dǎng 。 wǒ què yào sī suǒ zhe , zěn yàng cái néng cóng zhōng lì yì zuì dà huà 。”
“不管如何,大势难挡。我却要思索着,怎样才能从中利益最大化。”
After a while, he flew off on his own.
……
……
"Fortunately, we have this. Otherwise, we might be embroiled in a bitter struggle," Fang Zaiji sighed.
jiē xià lái de jǐ tiān , yóu yào wáng zōng mèng wú shì zuò qǐ le shì yàn 。
接下来的几天,由药王宗孟无世做起了试验。
"It's also due to luck that I got that final stone disk that blocks the Heavenly Xuan Mirror’s perception," Li Fan pretended to sigh.
shǒu xiān tā zhǔ dòng cóng dà mèng chūn qiū zhèn de lián jiē zhōng tuō lí chū lái , què bǎo nǎ pà zì jǐ tǐ nèi zhuàng kuàng bèi wán quán dòng xī , yě bú huì qiān chě dào yào wáng zōng 。
首先他主动从大梦春秋阵的连接中脱离出来,确保哪怕自己体内状况被完全洞悉,也不会牵扯到药王宗。
Liu San was relieved: "In the upcoming world-shaking battle, our Medicine King Sect can stay out of it. This is truly a fortunate thing. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to rise again."
rán hòu tā shēng chéng le zì jǐ de tiān xuán bǎo jiàn , dǎ kāi tàn cè gōng néng de tóng shí , zài cháng shēng gǔ de rù kǒu chù bù duàn pái huái 。
然后他生成了自己的天玄宝鉴,打开探测功能的同时,在长生谷的入口处不断徘徊。
Qian Yushan also seemed thoughtful: "Perhaps we can seize this chance and openly join the Immortal Alliance."
wéi chí le yī duàn shí jiān hòu , biàn zì xíng fēi zǒu le 。
维持了一段时间后,便自行飞走了。
"After all, the Immortal Alliance cannot completely exterminate other small worlds; there must be some that voluntarily surrender."
“ xìng hǎo yǒu yòng 。 yào bù rán wǒ men kǒng pà yào xiàn rù kǔ zhàn le 。” fāng zài jì zhǎng hū yì kǒu qì dào 。 jiàng
“幸好有用。要不然我们恐怕要陷入苦战了。”方再济长呼一口气道。滰
"We might be able to infiltrate them and complete our identity cleansing," she suggested.
The shockwaves from this announcement were no less than those from the Heavenly Xuan Treasure Mirror.
The notice read as follows:
"After relentless efforts by the Immortal Alliance cultivators, we have fully explored the White Mist Barrier of the Xuanhuang Realm. This is a great milestone that deserves eternal remembrance."
"But the path of immortality is arduous and endless. There is another daunting yet magnificent task awaiting us all."
"It is well known that besides the dividing regions and the towering White Mist Barrier, the Xuanhuang Realm also harbors countless hidden small worlds."
"Now that the White Mist Barrier has been fully explored, it's time to advance towards these small worlds! Incorporate them into the rule of our Immortal Alliance and achieve the great unification of the Xuanhuang Realm!"
"All cultivators who contribute will receive substantial merits and contributions."
"When a cultivator carries the Heavenly Xuan Treasure Mirror and encounters pathways leading to hidden small worlds, the mirror will alert them."
"However, exploring these small worlds is far more perilous than exploring the White Mist. In the White Mist, one might encounter strange and dead entities. But in the small worlds, there could be other cultivators or species with extraordinary powers who may fiercely resist."
"But don't fear!"
"Even if you perish, the merits and contributions gained during exploration will not vanish. They will be passed on to your next incarnation along with your true essence."
"The great unification of Xuanhuang is destined to be a long process. But in our fearless spirit as cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, this goal will surely be achieved!"

While other cultivators were either exhilarated or filled with doubts, Xu Bai inwardly cursed and immediately understood what his true self was worried about.
"Fang Zaiji, have you completed the Endless Round Disk Array?" Li Fan flew to the exit of Eternal Valley and asked in a low voice.
This was the first time Li Fan had directly called Fang Zaiji by name. He instantly realized how serious the situation was.
Without hesitation, he replied: "I've done my best. But we have never encountered this kind of power before. We need some more time to create an array based on it."
Li Fan shook his head slightly: "There's no time left. Tell me about the current progress of the array."
Fang Zaiji was somewhat surprised but quickly complied.
As Li Fan listened, he took out a Disentanglement Disc and input theprototypeof the array into it.
The Disentanglement Disc emitted a faint light as countless images flashed before Li Fan's eyes.
After half an hour, the images abruptly stopped, leaving a complete array in Li Fan's mind.
