lǐ fán tōng guò wú xiāng shā jī , gǎn yìng zhe dōng fāng yào yuǎn qù de shēn yǐng , rú cǐ xiǎng dào 。
李凡通过无相杀机,感应着东方曜远去的身影,如此想到。
Li Fan sensed the distant figure of Dongfang Yao through the Formless Killing Mechanism. He thought to himself, "Dongfang... this person..."
“ dōng fāng cǐ rén ……”
“东方此人……”
"Not bad."
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
After slowly retracting his gaze, Li Fan quietly moved into a relatively cheap stone forest.
huǎn huǎn shōu huí mù guāng hòu , lǐ fán qiǎo rán lái dào le yī chù pǒ wèi pián yi de shí lín nèi 。
缓缓收回目光后,李凡悄然来到了一处颇为便宜的石林内。
This place was located in Zuhuai Island, where resources were scarce and had already been explored, revealing no small worlds or cave entranceways. Therefore, few cultivators came here now.
zhè lǐ wèi yú zhū huái zhōu , zī yuán pín jí 。 ér qiě yǐ jīng bèi tàn míng , méi yǒu xiǎo shì jiè 、 dòng tiān rù kǒu 。 suǒ yǐ xiàn zài hěn shǎo yǒu xiū shì lái cǐ 。
这里位于诸怀洲,资源贫瘠。而且已经被探明,没有小世界、洞天入口。所以现在很少有修士来此。
It suited Li Fan just fine.
zhèng shì hé lǐ fán 。
正适合李凡。
Like Dongfang Yao, he would also set up his traps across the Xuanhuang Realm over the next period of time.
gēn dōng fāng yào yī yàng , jiē xià lái yī duàn shí jiān , tā yě yào zài xuán huáng jiè gè chù , bù zhì hòu shǒu 。
跟东方曜一样,接下来一段时间,他也要在玄黄界各处,布置后手。
After opening a space underground at 3,000 zhang, Li Fan took out a pile of broken puppet parts. They were very similar to those guardian puppets from Tianyang Cavern—shattered like ceramics and with black and red interwoven surfaces.
lái dào sān qiān zhàng dì dǐ , kāi pì yí gè chù kōng jiān hòu 。
来到三千丈地底,开辟一个处空间后。
Upon closer inspection, the red threads on each part seemed to be strokes of some characters.
lǐ fán jiāng yī duī pò suì de kuǐ lěi líng jiàn qǔ chū 。
李凡将一堆破碎的傀儡零件取出。
This was how Li Fan thought he could decompose the Chaotic Character Technique!
gēn dāng chū tiān yáng dòng fǔ nèi de nà xiē hù wèi kuǐ lěi shí fēn xiāng sì 。 dōu shì sàn ruò táo cí 、 wài biǎo hēi hóng xiāng jiàn 。
跟当初天阳洞府内的那些护卫傀儡十分相似。都是散若陶瓷、外表黑红相间。
Setting up a formation, he placed the puppet core at its center. Then, he arranged the puppet parts in random order within the array.
zài zǐ xì kàn shí , měi gè kuǐ lěi líng jiàn shàng , nà xiē hóng sī sì hū dōu shì mǒu gè zì bǐ huà de yī bù fèn 。
再仔细看时,每个傀儡零件上,那些红丝似乎都是某个字笔画的一部分。
"When a specific condition is triggered, the formation will activate the puppet core and complete reassembly instantly."
zhè jiù shì lǐ fán xiǎng dào de , chāi jiě luàn zì jué de fāng fǎ !
这就是李凡想到的,拆解乱字诀的方法!
"Chaotic Character Technique complete."
bù xià fǎ zhèn , jiāng kuǐ lěi hé xīn zhì yú zhōng yāng 。
布下法阵,将傀儡核心置于中央。
"The puppets will self-destruct as energy for divine techniques."
ér hòu yī cì jiāng kuǐ lěi líng jiàn , luàn xù bǎi fàng zài zhèn fǎ zhōng 。
而后依次将傀儡零件,乱序摆放在阵法中。
Li Fan thought to himself as he finished arranging the puppets. The silver light in the formation passed through the node puppets, connecting the entire array.
“ dāng mǒu gè tè dìng tiáo jiàn bèi chù fā , jiù huì yóu zhèn fǎ jī huó kuǐ lěi hé xīn 、 zài shùn jiān wán chéng chóng zǔ 。”
“当某个特定条件被触发,就会由阵法激活傀儡核心、在瞬间完成重组。”
With a gentle touch, Li Fan silenced the formation, leaving no trace of its existence.
“ luàn zì jué wán zhěng 。”
“乱字诀完整。”
"This should be done now."
“ ér hòu , kuǐ lěi zì bào , zuò wéi shī zhǎn shén tōng de néng liàng 。”
“而后,傀儡自爆,作为施展神通的能量。”
"Although it's somewhat crude, the simpler it is, the harder it will be to detect."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe , kuǐ lěi suí zhī sǎn luàn de fàng zhì wán bì 。
李凡心中如此想着,傀儡随之散乱的放置完毕。
Li Fan nodded with satisfaction before quietly leaving without setting up any concealment for the formation. He had crafted hundreds of such chaotic puppets; even if a few were discovered, it wouldn't affect the overall plan.
zhèn fǎ zhōng de sī sī yín máng , chuān guò zuò wéi jié diǎn de kuǐ lěi líng jiàn , jiāng dà zhèn lián tōng yī tǐ 。
阵法中的丝丝银芒,穿过作为节点的傀儡零件,将大阵联通一体。
After emerging from underground, Li Fan looked around to ensure no one was following him. Then he buried more chaotic puppets in other locations within Zuhuai Island. After completing his setup, he headed towards Shiyi State.
lǐ fán qīng qīng yì diǎn , zhèn fǎ guī yú chén jì 。 méi yǒu bàn diǎn qì xī xiè lòu 。
李凡轻轻一点,阵法归于沉寂。没有半点气息泄露。
He planned to place three or four puppets in each of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's states.
“ cǐ chù jiù suàn bù zhì wán bì le 。”
“此处就算布置完毕了。”
"Once all these puppets are triggered simultaneously, even the Eternal Heaven Sovereign will be drawn and blinded."
“ suī rán yǒu xiē jiǎn lòu , dàn yuè shì rú cǐ , yuè bù róng yì bèi rén fā xiàn 。”
“虽然有些简陋,但越是如此,越不容易被人发现。”
Li Fan moved quickly. As he finished setting up the thirty-fifth state, he suddenly paused his actions.
lǐ fán yǒu xiē mǎn yì de diǎn diǎn tóu , suí hòu lián zhē yǎn zhèn fǎ dōu méi yǒu bù zhì , jìng zhí qiāo qiāo lí kāi 。
李凡有些满意的点点头,随后连遮掩阵法都没有布置,径直悄悄离开。
"Is it finally time to ascend to the Spirit Transformation Realm?"
fǎn zhèng tā zhè zhǒng luàn zì kuǐ lěi , liàn zhì le bù xià shàng qiān jù 。
反正他这种乱字傀儡,炼制了不下上千具。
He looked towards the distance as the Saint Embryo Xu Bai's journey through the Xuanhuang Realm came to an end. The last change of life and death he absorbed into his own realm was the "Flower of Heavenly Spirit Birth."
jiù suàn ǒu ěr bèi rén fā xiàn le yī xiē , yě méi yǒu shén me sǔn shī , bú huì yǐng xiǎng dà jú 。
就算偶尔被人发现了一些,也没有什么损失,不会影响大局。
"I once thought that the Heavenly Spirit flower, tainted by malevolent energy, could never return to its former glory.
cóng dì dǐ zuān chū hòu , lǐ fán huán gù sì zhōu , què bǎo wú rén zhuī zōng 。
从地底钻出后,李凡环顾四周,确保无人追踪。
"Yet it seems this realm's self-recovery is truly remarkable," Li Fan mused.
yòu zài zhū huái zhōu qí yú liǎng chù dì diǎn , mái xià luàn zì kuǐ lěi 。
又在诸怀洲其余两处地点,埋下乱字傀儡。
With Xu Bai absorbing this change, the world within his realm blossomed like springtime. Flowers bloomed one after another, their beauty overwhelming. Even from afar in Cang Yuan, Li Fan seemed to catch a whiff of the flowers' fragrance from Xu Bai's realm.
bù zhì tuǒ dàng hòu , wǎng xiāng lín de shǒu yī zhōu ér qù 。
布置妥当后,往相邻的守一州而去。
It felt as if he had completed the final piece of a puzzle.
tā yào zài wàn xiān méng měi gè zhōu , dōu mái shàng sān sì jù 。
他要在万仙盟每个州,都埋上三四具。
The entire realm finally ascended to the status of a small world.
“ dào shí hòu luàn zì qí fā , jiù suàn shì cháng shēng tiān zūn , yě yào bèi xī yǐn 、 zhē bì shì xiàn 。”
“到时候乱字齐发,就算是长生天尊,也要被吸引、遮蔽视线。”
A strange energy flowed through it—from the sky, to all things, and back down into the earth. It cycled repeatedly.
lǐ fán de dòng zuò hěn kuài 。
李凡的动作很快。
From deep within the ground, faint rumbling sounds echoed. Along with the rain, wind, and bird calls in the realm, they formed a grand and vibrant symphony.
dāng tā àn bù jiù bān , wán chéng le dì sān shí wǔ gè zhōu de bù zhì zhī hòu 。
当他按部就班,完成了第三十五个州的布置之后。
Li Fan seemed to see the ongoing expansion and elevation of his realm.
què shì hū de zàn tíng le shǒu shàng de dòng zuò 。
却是忽的暂停了手上的动作。
Xu Bai stood in the Void of Heavenly Spirit State's void space. Though no other cultivators noticed him, those subtle changes in Heavenly Spirit State were detected by some, such as Sun Qian, who had been reporting on his progress with the "Inverse Derivation of Heaven and Earth Record" to Sun Liancheng.
“ zhōng yú yào jìn shēng huà shén le me ?”
“终于要晋升化神了么?”
Sun Qian suddenly paused, looking towards the sky outside the house. "What's going on?" Sun Liancheng also followed Sun Qian's gaze but saw nothing amiss.
lǐ fán tái tóu wàng xiàng yuǎn chù 。
李凡抬头望向远处。
Sun Qian frowned for a long time before shaking his head slightly.
shèng tāi xǔ bái yóu lì xuán huáng jiè de jiǎo bù , yě zài cǐ kè zhōng yú yíng lái le zhōng diǎn 。
圣胎许白游历玄黄界的脚步,也在此刻终于迎来了终点。
"It might just be my imagination."
tā zuì hòu shōu rù zì shēn dòng tiān de tiān dì jiāng shēng zhī biàn , nǎi shì 【 tiān líng jiāng shēng zhī huā 】。
他最后收入自身洞天的天地将生之变,乃是【天灵将生之花】。
"Back then, I felt as if the world was reviving in that moment."
“ céng jīng yǐ wéi , bèi lì qì zhān rǎn 、 cóng cǐ měi jǐng bù zài de tiān líng huā , yuán lái zhōng jiāng huì chóng xiàn yú shì 。”
“曾经以为,被戾气沾染、从此美景不再的天灵花,原来终将会重现于世。”
"But it was only a brief sensation."
“ kàn lái zhè piàn xuán huáng tiān dì de zì wǒ fù yuán néng lì , hái zhēn shì bù fán 。” lǐ fán àn zì sī cǔn dào 。
“看来这片玄黄天地的自我复原能力,还真是不凡。”李凡暗自思忖道。
"This feeling has since disappeared," Sun Qian said slowly, his words heavy with uncertainty.
suí zhe shèng tāi xǔ bái jiāng zhè tiān dì zhī biàn xī shōu , dòng tiān shì jiè lǐ , rú tóng chūn fēng chuī guò 。
随着圣胎许白将这天地之变吸收,洞天世界里,如同春风吹过。
"World revival..." Sun Liancheng's eyes narrowed, deep in thought.
yī duǒ duǒ fán huā cì dì shèng kāi , měi bù shèng shōu 。
一朵朵繁花次第盛开,美不胜收。
Through the Formless Killing Mechanism, Li Fan sensed this scene and felt a heavy heart. Only he knew that Sun Qian was right.
shèn zhì yuǎn zài wàn wàn lǐ zhī wài de lǐ fán , dōu sì hū wén dào le lái zì shèng tāi xǔ bái dòng tiān de huā xiāng 。
甚至远在万万里之外的李凡,都似乎闻到了来自圣胎许白洞天的花香。
The revival of Heavenly Spirit State had been extracted by Xu Bai and injected into his own realm.
fǎng fú bǔ quán le zuì hòu yī piàn pīn tú 。
仿佛补全了最后一片拼图。
Without such changes, it would take considerable time for Heavenly Spirit State to regain its former prosperity.
zhěng gè dòng tiān , zhōng yú shēng huá dào le xiǎo shì jiè de wèi gé 。
整个洞天,终于升华到了小世界的位格。
Heavenly Spirit State's revival differed slightly from Congyunhai's.
yī gǔ qí yì de néng liàng , zài dòng tiān shì jiè zhōng liú zhuǎn kāi lái 。
一股奇异的能量,在洞天世界中流转开来。
Congyunhai represented a creative transformation from life to death, from destruction to rebirth.
cóng tiān qióng , dào wàn wù , zài dào hòu tǔ 。
从天穹,到万物,再到厚土。
In contrast, Heavenly Spirit State's revival was the natural cycle of going from desolation to flourishing.
rán hòu xún huán fǎn fù 。
然后循环反复。
With this change, Xu Bai's realm had fully transformed into a small world.
zì dà dì shēn chù , yǐn yǐn chuán lái hōng míng zhī shēng 。
自大地深处,隐隐传来轰鸣之声。
Li Fan could now see the scenery in its entirety as it unfolded before him.
bàn suí zhe dòng tiān shì jiè nèi de yǔ shēng 、 fēng shēng , chóng míng niǎo jiào zhī shēng , qí qí zǔ chéng le yī qū hóng dà ér shēng jī àng rán de yuè zhāng 。
伴随着洞天世界内的雨声、风声,虫鸣鸟叫之声,齐齐组成了一曲宏大而生机盎然的乐章。
His divine sense swept over the land below, rich with life.
lǐ fán sì hū kàn dào le , dòng tiān shì jiè zài jīn hòu , bù duàn kuò zhāng 、 shēng huá de guò chéng 。
李凡似乎看到了,洞天世界在今后,不断扩张、升华的过程。
A familiar sensation stirred within him.
shèng tāi xǔ bái lì yú tiān líng zhōu xū kōng 。
圣胎许白立于天灵州虚空。
"This terrain distribution..."
suī rán méi yǒu rèn hé qí tā xiū shì , fā xiàn tā de cún zài 。
虽然没有任何其他修士,发现他的存在。
"Seems familiar."
dàn shì yóu tā yǐn qǐ de 、 tiān líng zhōu zhè qiǎo rán jiān de biàn huà , què shì xiē xǔ xiū shì yǒu suǒ chá jué 。
但是由他引起的、天灵州这悄然间的变化,却是些许修士有所察觉。
To verify his thoughts, he quickly pinpointed several distinctive mountain ranges and water systems.
bǐ rú , zhèng zài gēn sūn lián chéng huì bào zì jǐ 【 nì yǎn qián kūn lù 】 xiū xíng jìn dù de sūn qí , què shì hū rán tíng le xià lái 。
比如,正在跟孙连城汇报自己【逆衍乾坤录】修行进度的孙亓,却是忽然停了下来。
"Sure enough. It's exactly the same."
tái tóu wàng xiàng wū wài tiān kōng 。
抬头望向屋外天空。
Li Fan was struck by this revelation.
“ zěn me le ?” sūn lián chéng yě cháo zhe sūn qí de shì xiàn fāng xiàng wàng qù , què bìng wèi fā xiàn shén me yì cháng 。
“怎么了?”孙连城也朝着孙亓的视线方向望去,却并未发现什么异常。
"What is this...?"
sūn qí méi tóu zhòu qǐ , xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu , wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
孙亓眉头皱起,许久之后,微微摇头。
"The ancient Xuanhuang Realm's landscape?!"
“ huò xǔ shì wǒ de cuò jué ba 。”
“或许是我的错觉吧。”
Through Xiemen Yu's writings, Li Fan understood the differences between the ancient and current Xuanhuang Realms' terrain.
“ gāng gāng nà ge shùn jiān , wǒ sì hū gǎn jué dào le tiān dì zài fù sū 。”
“刚刚那个瞬间,我似乎感觉到了天地在复苏。”
By removing the white fog barrier and reassembling the disrupted states, he had reconstructed the original appearance of the ancient Xuanhuang Realm!
“ bù guò zhǐ shì yī chà nà 。”
“不过只是一刹那。”
This was what Xu Bai had been doing all this time.
“ xiàn zài zhè zhǒng gǎn jué yǐ jīng xiāo shī le 。”
“现在这种感觉已经消失了。”
"Ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivators rely on one state and a single change."
sūn qí yī zì yī dùn dì huǎn huǎn shuō dào 。 cóng tā réng rán yóu yí de yǎn shén zhōng , kě yǐ kàn chū , jué bù jǐn jǐn shì cuò jué zhè me jiǎn dān 。
孙亓一字一顿地缓缓说道。从他仍然犹疑的眼神中,可以看出,绝不仅仅是错觉这么简单。
"But Xu Bai has transformed into a spirit in every state... using..."
“ tiān dì fù sū ……” sūn lián chéng yǎn jīng wēi mī , bù zhī dào zài xiǎng xiē shén me 。
“天地复苏……”孙连城眼睛微眯,不知道在想些什么。
Li Fan's heart trembled.
ér tōng guò wú xiāng shā jī , gǎn yìng dào sūn qí zhè biān chuán lái de huà miàn 。 lǐ fán zé shì xīn zhōng níng zhòng 。
而通过无相杀机,感应到孙亓这边传来的画面。李凡则是心中凝重。
"The Birth of Xuanhuang Change!"
zhǐ yǒu tā zhī dào , sūn qí de zhí jué shì duì de 。
只有他知道,孙亓的直觉是对的。
"Simulating the changes that will occur in the Xuanhuang Realm with his inner realm world!"
tiān líng zhōu de fù sū zhī biàn , bèi shèng tāi xǔ bái chōu chū , zhù rù dào zì shēn dòng tiān shì jiè zhī zhōng 。
天灵州的复苏之变,被圣胎许白抽出,注入到自身洞天世界之中。
"A natural result of the Xuanhuang Realm evolving without interference from any cultivators or Eternal Heaven Sovereigns!"
méi le cǐ zhǒng biàn lì , tiān líng zhōu xiǎng yào chóng xīn biàn huí yuán běn de fán róng mú yàng , yòu yào bù shǎo shí jiān qù jī xù lì liàng le 。
没了此种变力,天灵州想要重新变回原本的繁荣模样,又要不少时间去积蓄力量了。
"This... is truly astonishing."
tiān líng zhōu de fù sū zhī lì , gēn cóng yún hǎi de wēi wēi yǒu xiē bù tóng 。
天灵州的复苏之力,跟丛云海的微微有些不同。
The more Li Fan thought about it, the more he felt the magnitude of this achievement.
cóng yún hǎi , shì yóu shēng zhì sǐ de , yóu pò miè zhì xīn shēng de chuàng zào xìng biàn huà 。
丛云海,是由生至死的,由破灭至新生的创造性变化。
"Without the support of the World itself, no one could achieve this, even with constant attempts on my part!"
ér tiān líng zhōu , zé shì yóu jì liáo 、 dào fán shèng , zhèng cháng de shēng jī yùn zhuàn zhī biàn 。
而天灵州,则是由寂寥、到繁盛,正常的生机运转之变。
Despite ascending to the Spirit Transformation Realm, Xu Bai's aura remained unchanged. He stood silently in the void like a common person.
duō le zhè dào biàn huà hòu , shèng tāi xǔ bái tǐ nèi de dòng tiān , yě chè dǐ wán chéng le xiàng xiǎo shì jiè de yǎn biàn 。
多了这道变化后,圣胎许白体内的洞天,也彻底完成了向小世界的演变。
---
yǔ qí tóng qū , lǐ fán yě yīn cǐ néng duì zhè xīn shēng xiǎo shì jiè de jǐng sè yī lǎn wú yú 。
与其同躯,李凡也因此能对这新生小世界的景色一览无余。
There will be another chapter later; I'll finish and sleep now.
Li Fan sensed the distant figure of Dongfang Yao through the Formless Killing Mechanism. He thought to himself, "Dongfang... this person..."
"Not bad."
After slowly retracting his gaze, Li Fan quietly moved into a relatively cheap stone forest.
This place was located in Zuhuai Island, where resources were scarce and had already been explored, revealing no small worlds or cave entranceways. Therefore, few cultivators came here now.
It suited Li Fan just fine.
Like Dongfang Yao, he would also set up his traps across the Xuanhuang Realm over the next period of time.
After opening a space underground at 3,000 zhang, Li Fan took out a pile of broken puppet parts. They were very similar to those guardian puppets from Tianyang Cavern—shattered like ceramics and with black and red interwoven surfaces.

He planned to place three or four puppets in each of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's states.
"Once all these puppets are triggered simultaneously, even the Eternal Heaven Sovereign will be drawn and blinded."
Li Fan moved quickly. As he finished setting up the thirty-fifth state, he suddenly paused his actions.
