lǐ fán lì yú mì shì zhōng , jiǔ jiǔ bù yǔ 。
李凡立于密室中,久久不语。
Li Fan stood in the secret chamber, silent for a long time.
sī suǒ zhe duì cè 。
思索着对策。
He was formulating strategies.
rú jīn yǐ jīng lěng jìng xià lái de tā , què bìng méi yǒu shí fēn huāng zhāng 。
如今已经冷静下来的他,却并没有十分慌张。
Despite his calm demeanor now that he had regained composure, he wasn't overly panicked. After all, he hadn’t reached the point of being completely at rock bottom.
bì jìng , xiàn zài de tā , hái wán quán chēng bù shàng shān qióng shuǐ jǐn de chǎng miàn 。
毕竟,现在的他,还完全称不上山穷水尽的场面。
In the Xuanhuang Realm, every life had only one chance. He merely returned to where ordinary people started from.
xuán huáng jiè yún yún zhòng shēng , méi yǒu hái zhēn , rén shēng yě zhǐ yǒu yī cì jī huì 。
玄黄界芸芸众生,没有还真,人生也只有一次机会。
Moreover, he still possessed a significant advantage: continuous rebirths and accumulated foresight over many lifetimes.
tā bù guò shì huí dào le gēn zhòng shēng xiàng tóng de qǐ diǎn bà le 。
他不过是回到了跟众生相同的起点罢了。
"Everything stems from that fleeting thought."
kuàng qiě , tā hái yǒu zhe , qián jǐ shì bù duàn lún huí , suǒ jī lěi de dà liàng xiān zhī xiān jué de yōu shì 。
况且,他还有着,前几世不断轮回,所积累的大量先知先觉的优势。
"While creating a clone with Shi Ke's blood, I integrated a fragment of Bai Senior’s essence."
“ suǒ yǒu de yī qiè , dōu shì yuán yú dāng chū ǒu ěr de yí gè niàn tou 。”
“所有的一切,都是源于当初偶尔的一个念头。”
Li Fan quickly pondered. He soon pinpointed the source of his various anomalies.
“ yǐ xǔ kè jīng xuè chuàng zào fēn shēn de tóng shí , róng rù yī lǚ bái xiān shēng de shén yùn 。”
“以许克精血创造分身的同时,融入一缕白先生的神韵。”
"Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch."
lǐ fán xùn sù sī suǒ zhe 。
李凡迅速思索着。
"With an appearance so similar to Bai Senior, I gained unparalleled talents and some divine abilities."
hěn kuài jiù què dìng le zì shēn zhǒng zhǒng yì cháng de lái yuán 。
很快就确定了自身种种异常的来源。
"In return, he subtly tainted my clone and even myself."
“ guǒ rán , tiān xià méi yǒu bái chī de wǔ cān 。”
“果然,天下没有白吃的午餐。”
"I was already wary when I realized something was amiss. If the main body was affected, I would immediately activate Truly Real Technique."
“ kào zhe shén sì bái xiān shēng yīn ér dé dào le jué shì tiān fù , lǐng wù le xiē xǔ shén tōng 。”
“靠着神似白先生因而得到了绝世天赋,领悟了些许神通。”
"But I didn't anticipate that by the time the main body noticed, it was too late."
“ huàn lái de jiù shì tā qián yí mò huà duì fēn shēn 、 nǎi zhì běn zūn de wū rǎn 。”
“换来的就是他潜移默化对分身、乃至本尊的污染。”
Li Fan's mind flashed with Bai Senior’s perfect face.
“ suī rán , zài fā xiàn bú duì de shí hòu , wǒ zǎo jiù xīn shēng jǐng tì 。 yí dàn rú guǒ chá jué dào běn zūn shòu dào yǐng xiǎng , jiù yào lì kè hái zhēn 。”
“虽然,在发现不对的时候,我早就心生警惕。一旦如果察觉到本尊受到影响,就要立刻还真。”
"Bai Senior..."
“ dàn wǒ méi yǒu yù liào dào de shì , dāng běn zūn yì shí dào zhè diǎn de shí hòu , yǐ jīng lái bù jí le 。”
“但我没有预料到的是,当本尊意识到这点的时候,已经来不及了。”
"Fascinating."
lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng , chà nà jiān yòu fú xiàn chū nà zhāng jīng shì 、 wán měi de liǎn páng 。
李凡脑海中,刹那间又浮现出那张惊世、完美的脸庞。
"Wanting to use me for a second chance at life? Very well!"
“ bái xiān shēng ……”
“白先生……”
A glint appeared in Li Fan's eyes. The transformed Dao Stone, already overloaded with information, suddenly emitted blue light once more.
“ yǒu qù 。”
“有趣。”
Numerous images flashed through his mind—visions of the future he had derived.
“ xiǎng yào jiè wǒ chóng shēng ? nà biàn chéng quán nǐ !”
“想要借我重生?那便成全你!”
"Wishing to obstruct my path..."
lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī jīng guāng 。
李凡眼中闪过一丝精光。
"How simple can it be!"
nǎo hǎi lǐ yǐ jīng fù zài dào jí zhì de huà dào shí , cǐ kè hè rán yòu quán miàn bào fā chū lán sè guāng huá 。
脑海里已经负载到极致的化道石,此刻赫然又全面爆发出蓝色光华。
Suddenly, the light from the transformed Dao Stone extinguished. Li Fan had already devised a countermeasure.
wú shù huà miàn zài qí zhōng shǎn guò 。
无数画面在其中闪过。
A cold smile played on his lips as he sat down and began to decipher the data for the [Boundless Spirit Void Technique] once more.
nà shì lǐ fán zài tuī yǎn wèi lái de zhǒng zhǒng kě néng 。
那是李凡在推衍未来的种种可能。
The scene shifted to Shi Bai.
“ xiǎng yào zǔ wǒ dào tú ……”
“想要阻我道途……”
He exchanged glances with the Holy Embryo, both revealing eerie grins.
“ nǎ yǒu nà me jiǎn dān !”
“哪有那么简单!”
Shi Bai pointed at the red thread before him: "Go!"
zhòu rán zhī jiān , huà dào shí de guāng máng quán bù xī miè 。
骤然之间,化道石的光芒全部熄灭。
The thread seemed to come alive as it flew towards the Holy Embryo.
lǐ fán què shì yǐ jīng xiǎng dào le yìng duì zhī cè 。
李凡却是已经想到了应对之策。
At the same time, Shi Bai took out a pile of top-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and shattered them with one palm.
zuǐ jiǎo fú xiàn chū yī sī lěng xiào , lǐ fán xú xú zuò xià , yòu bù huāng bù máng de zài dù pò jiě qǐ 【 wú jí líng xū fǎ 】 de shù jù lái 。
嘴角浮现出一丝冷笑,李凡徐徐坐下,又不慌不忙的再度破解起【无极灵虚法】的数据来。
With no cultivation, the offspring or clone produced by the Holy Blood Incubation Technique would lack any spiritual foundation.
huà miàn huí dào xǔ bái zhè biān 。
画面回到许白这边。
But for Shi Bai, this wasn't an issue. His innate talent was identical to Shi Bai's, reaching unimaginable heights.
hé shèng tāi duì shì yī yǎn , liǎng zhě qí qí lù chū guǐ yì de xiào róng 。
和圣胎对视一眼,两者齐齐露出诡异的笑容。
Moreover, he had accumulated years of cultivation experience from his many lifetimes.
xǔ bái qīng qīng cháo zhe miàn qián de hóng shéng yī zhǐ :“ qù !”
许白轻轻朝着面前的红绳一指:“去!”
"Absorb the essence of heaven and earth, control its energy!"
zhè hóng shéng wǎn ruò huó guò lái yì bān , jìng zhí cháo zhe shèng tāi fēi qù 。
这红绳宛若活过来一般,径直朝着圣胎飞去。
Shi Bai muttered these words as a vortex of invisible force swept through the chamber.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí , xǔ bái yòu cóng chǔ wù jiè zhōng , qǔ chū chéng duī de jí pǐn líng shí 。
与此同时,许白又从储物戒中,取出成堆的极品灵石。
The dense spiritual energy whistled towards him. In just a few breaths, Shi Bai broke past the barrier between ordinary people and cultivators, successfully entering the early stage of Qi Refinement.
yī zhǎng pāi suì 。
一掌拍碎。
His absorption of spiritual energy accelerated rather than slowed down. His clone, Shi Bai, repeated the process of taking out spirit stones, shattering them, and retrieving more.
shèng xuè huà tāi fǎ , chǎn shēng de hòu dài 、 yì huò zhě fēn shēn , shì méi yǒu xiū wèi de 。
圣血化胎法,产生的后代、亦或者分身,是没有修为的。
Ordinary cultivators would have burst from absorbing so much spiritual energy in such a short time.
dàn zhè duì yú shèng tāi xǔ bái lái shuō , gēn běn bú shì shén me wèn tí 。
但这对于圣胎许白来说,根本不是什么问题。
But for Shi Bai, it was like an endless abyss. He swallowed every bit of energy without flinching, storing it in his dantian.
tā de zī zhì , gēn xǔ bái rú chū yī zhé , yǐ rán dào dá le zhǒng nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de dì bù 。
他的资质,跟许白如出一辙,已然到达了种难以想象的地步。
His cultivation境界 rapidly advanced: Qi Refinement Middle Stage, Late Stage, and finally, Completion!
gèng bù yòng tí , hái yǒu zhe lǐ fán lún huí zhè me duō nián jī zǎn xià lái de xiū xíng jīng yàn 。
更不用提,还有着李凡轮回这么多年积攒下来的修行经验。
The [Heavenly Tribulation], which plagued countless cultivators, seemed non-existent to Shi Bai.
“ xī tiān dì zhī líng , yǐ yù qí qì !”
“吸天地之灵,以御其气!”
For the first time, Shi Bai witnessed a cultivator with top-tier talent, unhampered by any bottlenecks. The terrifying speed of his cultivation was evident.
shèng tāi xǔ bái kǒu zhōng huǎn huǎn dī yín 。
圣胎许白口中缓缓低吟。
"Harness the wonders of heaven and earth to establish my foundation!" Shi Bai muttered again.
mì shì zhī zhōng , fǎng fú guā qǐ le yī zhèn wú xíng xuán fēng 。
密室之中,仿佛刮起了一阵无形旋风。
Red light emanated from his dantian as he spoke.
wǎn ruò shí zhì dì nóng yù líng qì , fā chū zhèn zhèn hū xiào zhī shēng , cháo zhe shèng tāi xǔ bái fēng yōng ér qù 。
宛若实质的浓郁灵气,发出阵阵呼啸之声,朝着圣胎许白蜂拥而去。
Without obstruction, everything flowed smoothly.
jǐn jǐn shì shù xī zhī hòu 。
仅仅是数息之后。
In a breath, Shi Bai successfully established his foundation.
tā jiù dǎ pò le fán rén yǔ xiū xiān zhě zhī jiān de jiè xiàn , chéng gōng tà rù liàn qì chū qī 。
他就打破了凡人与修仙者之间的界限,成功踏入炼气初期。
The red thread dissolved into his dantian, becoming his foundation. He now knew its true name: [Heaven's Will Sword].
xī qǔ líng qì de sù dù méi yǒu sī háo jiǎn huǎn , fǎn ér yuè fā xùn sù 。
吸取灵气的速度没有丝毫减缓,反而越发迅速。
"If there is heaven’s will, it should align with mine."
fēn shēn xǔ bái miàn wú biǎo qíng , chóng fù zhe qǔ chū jí pǐn líng shí 、 pāi suì 、 zài dù qǔ chū jí pǐn líng shí de guò chéng 。
分身许白面无表情,重复着取出极品灵石、拍碎、再度取出极品灵石的过程。
"Truly remarkable," the Holy Embryo and clone Shi Bai said in unison.
rú guǒ shì xún cháng xiū shì , duǎn shí jiān nèi xī qǔ rú cǐ duō de líng qì 。
如果是寻常修士,短时间内吸取如此多的灵气。
Even after entering Foundation Establishment, Shi Bai continued to absorb the dense spiritual energy from the chamber.
pà bú shì shēn tǐ zǎo yǐ jīng bèi chēng bào le 。
怕不是身体早已经被撑爆了。
His cultivation境界 rapidly advanced. There were no bottlenecks at this stage: Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Completion.
dàn shèng tāi xǔ bái , què fǎng fú wú dǐ dòng yì bān 。
但圣胎许白,却仿佛无底洞一般。
"Perceive the laws of heaven and earth to refine the Golden Core."
miàn bù gǎi sè , líng qì lái duō shǎo , tūn duō shǎo 。
面不改色,灵气来多少,吞多少。
Shi Bai stood with his hands behind his back, muttering words.
jìn shù xī rù dān tián zhī zhōng 。
尽数吸入丹田之中。
He inhaled, and the dense spiritual energy that had almost condensed into a liquid state in the chamber vanished instantly.
tā de jìng jiè , yě zài yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù xiàng shàng pān shēng 。
他的境界,也在以肉眼可见的速度向上攀升。
He accepted the storage ring containing spirit stones from his clone Shi Bai.
liàn qì zhōng qī 、 liàn qì hòu qī 。
炼气中期、炼气后期。
In his hand, red light slowly coalesced within his dantian.
liàn qì yuán mǎn !
炼气圆满!
"Intent is heaven’s will; heart is heaven’s essence."
nà kùn rǎo tiān xià wú shù xiū shì de 【 tiān zhī è 】, zài shèng tāi xǔ bái shēn shàng , jiù fǎng fú wán quán bù cún zài yì bān !
那困扰天下无数修士的【天之厄】,在圣胎许白身上,就仿佛完全不存在一般!
Red light spread throughout his dantian before contracting to an intense point.
fēn shēn xǔ bái , yě dì yī jiàn dào le , zhēn zhèng tiān fù dǐng jí de xīn fǎ xiū shì 、 zài méi yǒu píng jǐng kùn rǎo de qíng kuàng xià 。
分身许白,也第一见到了,真正天赋顶级的新法修士、在没有瓶颈困扰的情况下。
A moment later, a red light appeared in Shi Bai's dantian.
nà kě bù de xiū xíng sù dù !
那可怖的修行速度!
Shi Bai had entered the Golden Core Realm!
“ jiǎ tiān dì zhī qí , yǐ zhù dào jī !” shèng tāi xǔ bái kǒu zhōng zài dù dī yín 。
“假天地之奇,以筑道基!”圣胎许白口中再度低吟。
In such a short time, he accomplished what ordinary cultivators might take decades or even centuries to achieve.
dān tián zhī zhōng , bái xiān shēng hóng shéng fā chū dàn dàn wēi guāng 。
丹田之中,白先生红绳发出淡淡微光。
He continued his cultivation without stopping. With unending spiritual energy supply, Shi Bai advanced towards Golden Core Completion.
méi yǒu sī háo zǔ sè , shuǐ dào qú chéng 。
没有丝毫阻塞,水到渠成。
As expected, no [Heavenly Tribulation] appeared again.
zhǐ yí gè hū xī de gōng fu , shèng tāi xǔ bái jiù yǐ jīng zhù jī chéng gōng 。
只一个呼吸的功夫,圣胎许白就已经筑基成功。
The dual standards of the Xuanhuang Realm’s Heavenly Dao were evident.
dàn dàn hóng shéng róng jiě yú dān tián zhī zhōng , huà zuò tā de dào jī 。
淡淡红绳溶解于丹田之中,化作他的道基。
Finally, after half a day from when he was officially created, Shi Bai successfully ascended to Golden Core Completion.
yīn cǐ , yě zhī dào le tā de zhēn zhèng míng zì 。
因此,也知道了它的真正名字。
"Is this Bai Senior's cultivation speed?"
【 tiān yì jiàn 】。
【天意剑】。
"No, back then, it would have been even faster. A commoner can instantly transform into a divine being."
“ ruò yǒu tiān yì , dāng yǔ wǒ tóng 。”
“若有天意,当与我同。”
In the secret chamber, Shi Bai and his clone exchanged questions and answers.
“ miào zāi 。”
“妙哉。”
After a long silence, the clone shook his head slightly.
shèng tāi xǔ bái yǔ fēn shēn xǔ bái , yì kǒu tóng shēng dào 。
圣胎许白与分身许白,异口同声道。
"Now’s the limit for Foundation Establishment in this Xuanhuang Realm."
tà rù zhù jī qī , shèng tāi xǔ bái què bìng méi yǒu tíng zhǐ xiū xíng de bù fá 。
踏入筑基期,圣胎许白却并没有停止修行的步伐。
Shi Bai nodded in agreement: "Seize heaven's essence to form an Immortal Core."
yī jiù yuán yuán bù jué de xī qǔ zhe mì shì nèi de nóng yù chún jìng líng qì 。
依旧源源不绝的吸取着密室内的浓郁纯净灵气。
"Without preparation, even with high talent, no further progress is possible."
xiū xíng jìng jiè yě shì fēi sù wěn bù pān shēng 。
修行境界也是飞速稳步攀升。
"As they say..."
zhù jī qī , yī jiù shì méi yǒu sī háo píng jǐng kùn è 。
筑基期,依旧是没有丝毫瓶颈困厄。
Shi Bai bowed and left gracefully.
zhù jī zhōng qī 、 zhù jī hòu qī 、 zhù jī yuán mǎn ……
筑基中期、筑基后期、筑基圆满……
"Before stepping on the path of immortals, there’s a Heavenly Venerable above!"
“ kuī tiān dì zhī fǎ , yǐ liàn jīn dān 。”
“窥天地之法,以炼金丹。”
His figure vanished, but his voice echoed in the chamber for a long time.
shèng tāi xǔ bái , fù shǒu ér lì 。
圣胎许白,负手而立。
The clone Shi Bai knew that Shi Bai was searching for an opportunity to form an immortal core.
kǒu zhōng niàn niàn yǒu cí 。
口中念念有词。
For other cultivators, this process would be immensely difficult. But for Shi Bai, it was merely routine.
tā zhāng zuǐ yī xī , mì shì zhōng yuán běn yǐ jīng kuài yào níng jié chéng yè de nóng yù líng qì , shùn jiān wèi zhī yī kōng 。
他张嘴一吸,密室中原本已经快要凝结成液的浓郁灵气,瞬间为之一空。
Even his safety wasn’t a concern. Although he had only reached Golden Core Completion, even a Transcendent Realm cultivator might not stand a chance against him.
tā suǒ xìng jiē guò fèn shēn xǔ bái dì guò lái de yī méi zhuāng mǎn líng shí de chǔ wù jiè 。
他索性接过分身许白递过来的一枚装满灵石的储物戒。
Because...
jiāng qí wò zài shǒu zhōng 。
将其握在手中。
"My heart is heaven’s essence."
dān tián zhī zhōng , hóng sè guāng huá huǎn huǎn níng shí 。
丹田之中,红色光华缓缓凝实。
