“ xiāng bǐ zhī xià ， shàng yī shì de yào wáng gǔ ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū le 。”
“相比之下，上一世的药王谷，简直就是小巫见大巫了。”
"Compared to the Medicine King Valley of my previous life, it's like a small witch seeing a great witch."
“ guāng píng cǐ chù mù shǔ xìng dòng tiān ， biàn néng zhī chēng qǐ yī dà shì lì de jué qǐ 。”
“光凭此处木属性洞天，便能支撑起一大势力的崛起。”
"Just with this Wood Attribute Heavenly Realm, a major force can rise up."
“ gèng bié tí ， hái yǒu qí tā sì shǔ xìng dòng tiān le 。”
“更别提，还有其他四属性洞天了。”
"And don't forget about the other four attribute Heavenly Realms."
tí qián lái dào xuán huáng jiè ， jié hú le wàn xiān méng fā xiàn de lǐ fán ， xīn zhōng shèn shì dé yì 。
提前来到玄黄界，截胡了万仙盟发现的李凡，心中甚是得意。
Having come to the Xuanhuang World earlier than planned and intercepted Wanxian League’s discovery of Li Fan, he felt quite pleased.
dà zhì guàng le yī quān hòu ， yòu yī cì qù wǎng huǒ 、 tǔ 、 jīn 、 shuǐ sì dà dòng tiān 。
大致逛了一圈后，又依次去往火、土、金、水四大洞天。
After wandering around for a while, he then proceeded to visit the Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water Attribute Realms in sequence.
shuǐ shǔ xìng dòng tiān lǐ fán céng jīng dāi guò xǔ jiǔ 。
水属性洞天李凡曾经呆过许久。
Li Fan had spent much time in the Water Attribute Realm before.
dàn cǐ kè lǐ fán cái zhī dào ， nà shí suǒ jiàn de ， jī hū jiù shì yǐ jīng bèi bān kōng hòu de jǐng xiàng le 。
但此刻李凡才知道，那时所见的，几乎就是已经被搬空后的景象了。
But now he realized that what he saw back then was almost an empty shell.
bù xiàng xiàn zài ， shēng jī àng rán de dà hǎi zhī xià ， yǒu wú shù yú lèi fán yǎn shēng cún 。
不像现在，生机盎然的大海之下，有无数鱼类繁衍生存。
Unlike now, beneath the vibrant sea teemed countless fish species thriving and reproducing.
shù zhī bù jìn de shuǐ shǔ xìng líng yào 、 líng kuàng ， chōng chì zhe zhěng piàn hǎi yù 。
数之不尽的水属性灵药、灵矿，充斥着整片海域。
Innumerable water attribute spirit herbs and minerals filled the entire ocean.
ràng jiàn duō shí guǎng de lǐ fán ， yě bù jīn lián lián jīng tàn 。
让见多识广的李凡，也不禁连连惊叹。
This left even the well-traveled Li Fan marveling in amazement.
jīn shǔ xìng dòng tiān ， shì yī piàn guǎng mào wú biān de dì xià shì jiè 。 biàn bù zhe gè zhǒng zhēn xī kuàng mài ， yǐ jí jīn shǔ shēng mìng tǐ 。
金属性洞天，是一片广袤无边的地下世界。遍布着各种珍稀矿脉，以及金属生命体。
The Metal Attribute Realm was a vast underground world filled with various rare mineral veins and metallic lifeforms.
huǒ shǔ xìng dòng tiān ， zé shì gēn dà lí bèi miàn de huǒ shì jiè chà bù tài duō 。 bù guò bù shì nà bān bào nüè 。
火属性洞天，则是跟大离背面的火世界差不太多。不过不似那般暴虐。
The Fire Attribute Realm, on the other hand, resembled the fiery world behind Great Li, albeit less violent.
ér tǔ shǔ xìng shì jiè ， zé shì yī piàn lián mián bù jué de shān mài jǐng xiàng 。
而土属性世界，则是一片连绵不绝的山脉景象。
And the Earth Attribute World was an endless expanse of mountain ranges.
lǐ fán zǒu mǎ guān huā de guàng le yī quān ， xīn mǎn yì zú de tóng shí ， yí gè wèn tí yě yóu rán ér shēng 。
李凡走马观花的逛了一圈，心满意足的同时，一个问题也油然而生。
After a cursory tour, he felt satisfied but also had a question arise naturally: these Five-Attribute Heavenly Realms were too vast.
nà jiù shì zhè wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， shí zài tài dà le 。
那就是这五行大洞天，实在太大了。
If one wanted to consume them with Golden Core cultivation and achieve Foundation Establishment Realm, it would likely take years if not decades without any interruptions or resistance from the Heavenly Realms themselves.
rú guǒ xiǎng yào yǐ jīn dān xiū wèi ， jiāng qí tūn shì ， chéng jiù yuán yīng jìng 。
如果想要以金丹修为，将其吞噬，成就元婴境。
"Such a large appetite is problematic," Li Fan frowned slightly.
kǒng pà méi yǒu gè sān nián wǔ zǎi ， dōu jī hū shì bù kě néng de shì qíng 。
恐怕没有个三年五载，都几乎是不可能的事情。
Although challenging, he wouldn't abandon these Five-Attribute Realms.
zhè hái shì zài méi yǒu bié rén fā xiàn 、 bú huì bèi dǎ rǎo 。
这还是在没有别人发现、不会被打扰。
His own cultivation was irrelevant.
bìng qiě wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān běn shēn bú huì fǎn kàng de qián tí xià 。
并且五行大洞天本身不会反抗的前提下。
The main concern was preventing Wanxian League from obtaining them to avoid adding unnecessary variables to this world's war.
shì shí shàng ， dāng guī mó dá dào wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān zhè ge jí bié hòu ， jí biàn hái bù shǔ yú 【 xiǎo shì jiè 】 de céng cì 。
事实上，当规模达到五行大洞天这个级别后，即便还不属于【小世界】的层次。
"Try transferring the entrance of the Five-Attribute Realms during my current gap before Golden Core Perfection. If it draws too much attention, there might be a risk of discovery."
dàn shì yě gēn “ shì jiè ”， jī hū méi shén me liǎng yàng le 。
但是也跟“世界”，几乎没什么两样了。
Using Lin Ling as his guide, he continued lingering in the underground network for some time.
lǐ fán huán qīng xī de jì de ， zhī qián tā men xiǎng yào zài cì bù xià lǒng zhào quán bù dòng tiān de 【 tiān xuán suǒ líng zhèn 】 de shí hòu 。
李凡还清晰的记得，之前他们想要再次布下笼罩全部洞天的【天玄锁灵阵】的时候。
As they emerged from the earth veins, Li Fan felt an unusually strong sense of reluctance from Tianyang.
jiù zāo shòu dào le dòng tiān yì shí de jī liè fǎn kàng 。
就遭受到了洞天意识的激烈反抗。
"Tianyang is using the Earth Fire Return Core Array to create his puppet body. This earth vein power must be somewhat special to him."
shēng chéng wú shù guǐ jué wú bǐ 、 shā zhī bù jìn de guài wù ， fā dòng xí jī 。
生成无数诡谲无比、杀之不尽的怪物，发动袭击。
"Let Lin Ling take him on more runs. The Xuanhuang World's vast earth vein power; taking a bit of advantage shouldn't bother the ancient trees, right?"
jiù suàn yǒu lín líng hù wèi zuǒ yòu ， kǒng pà yě wèi bì néng chī de xiāo 。
就算有林灵护卫左右，恐怕也未必能吃的消。
With this in mind, he instructed Lin Ling accordingly.
“ wèi kǒu tài dà le ， yě shì gè wèn tí a 。” lǐ fán bù jīn wēi wēi zhòu méi 。
“胃口太大了，也是个问题啊。”李凡不禁微微皱眉。
Lin Ling had a good impression of Tianyang and readily agreed.
suī rán yǒu xiē kùn nán ， dàn cǐ chù wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān ， lǐ fán què shì jué duì bú huì fàng qì de 。
虽然有些困难，但此处五行大洞天，李凡却是绝对不会放弃的。
Arriving at another location, Li Fan crushed an jade token to release a波动.
zì shēn xiū wèi dǎo shì wú suǒ wèi 。
自身修为倒是无所谓。
Soon after, Yu Da Yi hurried over.
zuì zhǔ yào de shì bù néng ràng wàn xiān méng dé dào tā 。
最主要的是不能让万仙盟得到它。
This time there was no grand show. Only one other person accompanied him.
yǐ miǎn wèi cǐ shì zhàn jú zēng jiā bù bì yào de biàn shù 。
以免为此世战局增加不必要的变数。
Seeing the other, Li Fan's alarm bells rang instantly.
“ chèn zhe hái méi jīn dān yuán mǎn de zhè duàn shí jiān ， xiǎng xiǎng bàn fǎ 。 shí zài bù xíng ， jiù zhǐ néng shuǐ mó gōng fu le 。”
“趁着还没金丹圆满的这段时间，想想办法。实在不行，就只能水磨功夫了。”
Though they had never met before, he sensed a familiar aura from this individual!
zài wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān zhōng ， jì xù dòu liú le xiē xǔ shí rì 。
在五行大洞天中，继续逗留了些许时日。
The answer was clear: this person was part of the Unity of All Worlds Sister Zhao!
zhí dào gēn wǔ lǎo huì yuē dìng de shí jiān kuài dào le ， lǐ fán zhè cái lí qù 。
直到跟五老会约定的时间快到了，李凡这才离去。
But at this moment, it wasn't in her feminine form; instead, she appeared as a handsome youth around fifteen or sixteen years old.
“ yǒu liǎng gè hé dào bāng chèn de huà ， dǎo shì kě yǐ shì zhe jiāng wǔ xíng dòng tiān de rù kǒu zhuǎn yí 。 bù guò dòng jìng tài dà ， shuō bù dìng hái yǒu bèi wàn xiān méng fā xiàn de fēng xiǎn 。” jiāng rù kǒu zhòng xīn zhē yǎn de lǐ fán ， lí qù zhī qián rú cǐ xiǎng dào 。
“有两个合道帮衬的话，倒是可以试着将五行洞天的入口转移。不过动静太大，说不定还有被万仙盟发现的风险。”将入口重新遮掩的李凡，离去之前如此想到。
"Is this the fellow from the Unity of All Worlds?" He smiled and asked Li Fan.
yī jiù shì jiè zhù lín líng ， chuān suō yú dì mài zhī zhōng 。
依旧是借助林灵，穿梭于地脉之中。
His eyes scanned Li Fan intently, almost revealing all secrets.
hěn kuài sān rén yòu zài qiāo wú shēng xī jiān fǎn huí le jiǔ shān zhōu 。
很快三人又在悄无声息间返回了九山州。
Li Fan felt a chill but remained calm.
lí kāi dì mài zhī shí ， lǐ fán hái cóng tiān yáng nà biān ， shí fēn hǎn jiàn de gǎn shòu dào le “ bù shě ” de qíng xù chuán lái 。
离开地脉之时，李凡还从天阳那边，十分罕见的感受到了“不舍”的情绪传来。
Sister Zhao had many bodies, and this one was only at the Transcendence Realm. Even if it were a Law-Transmitting Celestial Sage, full knowledge wasn't possible.
“ tiān yáng tā shì yǐ 【 dì huǒ guī yuán zhèn 】 zào jiù kuǐ lěi shēn qū ， kàn lái zhè dì mài zhī lì ， duì tā hái yǒu diǎn tè bié de yòng chǔ 。”
“天阳他是以【地火归元阵】造就傀儡身躯，看来这地脉之力，对他还有点特别的用处。”
So he wasn't worried about his secret being seen in an instant.
“ kě yǐ ràng lín líng dài zhe tā duō pǎo pǎo 。 xuán huáng jiè dì mài zhī lì hé qí xióng hòu ， zhàn diǎn pián yi ， xiǎng lái dì mài gǔ shù yě bú huì jiè yì de ba 。”
“可以让林灵带着他多跑跑。玄黄界地脉之力何其雄厚，占点便宜，想来地脉古树也不会介意的吧。”
Concentrating, he thought for a moment before narrowing his eyes and choosing "General."
zhè me xiǎng zhe ， lǐ fán biàn rú cǐ dīng zhǔ le lín líng yī shēng 。
这么想着，李凡便如此叮嘱了林灵一声。
"Ha ha, to attract a Celestial Sage's presence. What honor!" He grinned oddly at Sister Zhao.
lín líng duì yú tiān yáng hái shì shí fēn yǒu hǎo gǎn de ， dāng jí yīng xià 。
林灵对于天阳还是十分有好感的，当即应下。
The youth’s smile froze instantly as he took Li Fan seriously.
lái dào lìng wài yī chù dì diǎn ， lǐ fán zài dù niē suì yù fú ， shì fàng chū yī dào bō dòng 。
来到另外一处地点，李凡再度捏碎玉符，释放出一道波动。
Yu Da Yi, unaware of the other's true identity, was momentarily stunned by Li Fan's words, looking confused.
bù jiǔ zhī hòu ， yú dà yí cōng cōng ér zhì 。
不久之后，余大宜匆匆而至。
But being from the Five Elders Association, he quickly caught on.
zhè cì méi yǒu xīng shī dòng zhòng ， yǔ tā yì qǐ de ， zhǐ yǒu lìng wài yī rén 。
这次没有兴师动众，与他一起的，只有另外一人。
Turning his head, he saw the youth's playful smile and his expression froze.
ér zài kàn dào duì fāng de shùn jiān ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng shùn jiān jǐng líng dà zuò 。
而在看到对方的瞬间，李凡心中瞬间警铃大作。
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
cǐ qián míng míng méi yǒu jiàn guò miàn ， dàn cóng duì fāng shēn shàng ， lǐ fán què gǎn shòu dào le yī gǔ shí fēn shú xī de qì xī ！
此前明明没有见过面，但从对方身上，李凡却感受到了一股十分熟悉的气息！
"Oh, it seems I've been seen through."
dá àn yǐ jīng hū zhī yù chū ， duì fāng jiù shì 【 wàn zhòng yī xīn 】 zhào shī jiě zhōng de yī yuán ！
答案已经呼之欲出，对方就是【万众一心】赵师姐中的一员！
"Interesting. It looks like your Unity of All Worlds has some real power."
bù guò cǐ shí zhào shī jiě què bú shì nǚ ér shēn qián lái ， ér shì yī wèi bù guò shí wǔ liù suì 、 jí wéi jùn qiào de shào nián láng 。
不过此时赵师姐却不是女儿身前来，而是一位不过十五六岁、极为俊俏的少年郎。
"Do you welcome me as a concubine?"
“ zhè wèi jiù shì 【 wàn jiè lián hé huì 】 de dào yǒu le ba ？” tā kàn xiàng lǐ fán ， wēi xiào zhe wèn dào 。
“这位就是【万界联合会】的道友了吧？”他看向李凡，微笑着问道。
The youth chuckled seductively.
yī shuāng yǎn jīng zài lǐ fán shēn shàng sǎo shì ， jī hū yào bǎ suǒ yǒu de mì mì kàn gè jīng guāng 。
一双眼睛在李凡身上扫视，几乎要把所有的秘密看个精光。
Li Fan responded with a sarcastic laugh: "I'd love to join the Celestial Sage's Great Dao Sect too."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， dàn què suī jīng bù luàn 。
李凡心中一凛，但却虽惊不乱。
Sister Zhao was unperturbed, smiling coyly: "We could merge… if you wish."
zhào shī jiě shēn tǐ zhòng duō ， yǎn qián zhè jù bù guò shì huà shén xiū wèi 。
赵师姐身体众多，眼前这具不过是化神修为。
Yu Da Yi shuddered and his legs went weak.
ér qiě jiù suàn shì chuán fǎ tiān zūn ， yě wú fǎ quán zhī 。
而且就算是传法天尊，也无法全知。
He cursed himself for not being deaf to such taboo conversations.
suǒ yǐ lǐ fán dǎo shì bù dān xīn ， zhǐ yī yǎn zì jǐ de mì mì jiù bèi kàn pò 。
所以李凡倒是不担心，只一眼自己的秘密就被看破。
He immediately categorized both the Unity of All Worlds and Li Fan as the most dangerous entities to provoke.
shōu liǎn sī xù ， sī suǒ piàn kè zhī hòu ， lǐ fán yǎn jīng mī qǐ ， zhí jiē xuǎn zé le “ jiāng jūn ”。
收敛思绪，思索片刻之后，李凡眼睛眯起，直接选择了“将军”。
Li Fan chuckled awkwardly but didn't answer directly, instead asking: "What do we need?"
“ jié jié ， jìng rán yǐn dé tiān zūn qīn zhì 。 zhēn shì hé qí róng xìng ！” tā lù chū yī fù guài yì de xiào róng ， dīng zhe zhào shī jiě shuō dào 。
“桀桀，竟然引得天尊亲至。真是何其荣幸！”他露出一副怪异的笑容，盯着赵师姐说道。
Sister Zhao tossed over a Void Spirit Mother Stone.
shào nián láng liǎn shàng de xiào róng ， shà shí níng gù zhù 。
少年郎脸上的笑容，霎时凝固住。
Li Fan checked it against his list; everything matched perfectly.
tā zhè shí hòu ， fāng cái zhēn zhèng rèn zhēn de kàn le lǐ fán 。
他这时候，方才真正认真的看了李凡。
He put it away.
ér yī páng de yú dà yí ， sì hū bìng bù zhī dào shēn páng xiū shì de zhēn shí shēn fèn 。 tīng dào lǐ fán cǐ huà hòu ， wēi wēi lèng zhù ， yǒu xiē mí hū 。
而一旁的余大宜，似乎并不知道身旁修士的真实身份。听到李凡此话后，微微愣住，有些迷糊。
"Are you afraid I might have tampered with this?" Sister Zhao suddenly asked in a soft voice.
dàn tā bì jìng shì wǔ lǎo huì tǔ shēng tǔ zhǎng de xiū shì ， jǐn jǐn shì piàn kè zhī hòu ， jiù fǎn yìng guò lái 。
但他毕竟是五老会土生土长的修士，仅仅是片刻之后，就反应过来。
"You are straightforward and honest, not one to play such tricks," Li Fan replied.
měng dì zhuǎn guò tóu qù ， kàn zhe shào nián láng liǎn shàng pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn wán wèi de xiào róng ， biǎo qíng jiāng zhù 。
猛地转过头去，看着少年郎脸上颇有几分玩味的笑容，表情僵住。
Sister Zhao's expression changed dramatically.
shēn qū yě suí zhī zhǐ bú zhù de chàn dǒu qǐ lái 。
身躯也随之止不住的颤抖起来。
"Considering your personal appearance, I'll provide you with a secret for free."
“ āi yā ， bèi kàn chuān le ne 。”
“哎呀，被看穿了呢。”
"Prajna True Leaf can be used to make Divine Ships. It allows travel through the white mists without the side effects of devouring essence white mists."
“ zhēn shì yǒu qù 。 kàn lái nǐ men zhè shén me 【 wàn jiè lián hé huì 】， hái zhēn yǒu xiē běn shì 。”
“真是有趣。看来你们这什么【万界联合会】，还真有些本事。”
Li Fan whispered this and then vanished in a green light before Yu Da Yi could react.
“ bù zhī dào ， huān bù huān yíng nú jiā jiā rù ne ？”
“不知道，欢不欢迎奴家加入呢？”
"Women's thoughts are hard to guess," Sister Zhao laughed softly, not long after.
shào nián láng qīng xiào dào 。
少年郎轻笑道。
