lí jiè 。
离界。
Beyond the Realm.
gāng gāng qí dǎo wán bì ， zhèng zài xiān líng tǎ biān xiū xíng de sū yǔ qíng ， liǎn sè mò dì biàn dé yān hóng 。
刚刚祈祷完毕，正在仙灵塔边修行的苏语晴，脸色蓦地变得嫣红。
Just after finishing her prayer, Su Yuning, who was cultivating by the Spirit Tower, suddenly turned a deep rosy red.
shēn tǐ nèi wǎn ruò dǒu rán bèi rén yòng jù wù cū bào chēng kāi ， fā chū yī shēng tòng kǔ de mèn hēng 。
身体内宛若陡然被人用巨物粗暴撑开，发出一声痛苦的闷哼。
Her body felt as if it had been forcibly stretched open by some massive object, emitting a painful groan.
zhèng dāng tā gǎn dào máng rán bù zhī suǒ cuò de shí hòu ， zhè gǔ mò míng jiàng lín zhì tā shēn tǐ nèi de jīng chún líng qì ， wǎn ruò róng jiě de bīng chuān ， hōng rán huà kāi ！
正当她感到茫然不知所措的时候，这股莫名降临至她身体内的精纯灵气，宛若溶解的冰川，轰然化开！
As she stood there, feeling lost and confused, this mysterious spiritual energy that descended into her body began to dissolve like melting ice, spreading through her body with a powerful rush.
hū xiào zhe zài tā tǐ nèi bēn zǒu ， zhǐ jǐ gè zhōu tiān ， jiù huà zuò le tā zì jǐ suǒ néng zhǎng kòng de lì liàng bān 。
呼啸着在她体内奔走，只几个周天，就化作了她自己所能掌控的力量般。
In just a few rounds of the heavenly cycle, it transformed into something she could control within her dantian.
wēn shùn de huí dào le tā de dān tián zhī nèi ！
温顺的回到了她的丹田之内！
At the same time, her cultivation境界 rapidly ascended at an alarming rate visible to the naked eye.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， tā de jìng jiè yě shì yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de kǒng bù sù dù zài jí sù pān shēng 。
与此同时，她的境界也是以肉眼可见的恐怖速度在急速攀升。
Within mere breaths, she leaped from early-stage Golden Core to full Golden Core completion.
zhǐ jǐ gè hū xī de gōng fu ， jiù yī lù cóng jīn dān qián qī ， bào zhǎng dào jīn dān yuán mǎn 。
只几个呼吸的功夫，就一路从金丹前期，暴涨到金丹圆满。
The new technique's breakthrough bypassed the restriction of the required Immortal Cave materials, causing it to halt.
yīn wèi xīn fǎ tū pò jìng jiè suǒ xū dòng tiān cái liào de xiàn zhì ， cái bù gān de tíng le xià lái 。
因为新法突破境界所需洞天材料的限制，才不甘的停了下来。
Throughout this process, the bottleneck "Heavenly Tribulation" that usually limited cultivators did not appear.
zhè ge guò chéng ， cóng shǐ zhì zhōng ， xiàn zhì xiū shì xiū liàn de píng jǐng 【 tiān zhī è 】 dōu méi yǒu chū xiàn ！
这个过程，从始至终，限制修士修炼的瓶颈【天之厄】都没有出现！
Su Yuning stood in awe as she felt her cultivation level. She couldn't believe what was happening.
sū yǔ qíng zhēng zhēng dì gǎn shòu zhe zì jǐ de xiū wèi jìng jiè ， mǎn liǎn de bù gǎn zhì xìn 。
苏语晴怔怔地感受着自己的修为境界，满脸的不敢置信。
She carefully pondered the source of this spiritual energy that had helped her break through. Her expression changed suddenly as a thought struck her, and she quickly knelt down to meditate and thank the "True Immortal of Compassion in the Red Dust."
xì xì gǎn wù zhe zhè gǔ zhù tā tū pò de líng lì lái yuán ， sū yǔ qíng ér hòu fǎng fú xiǎng dào le shén me ， liǎn sè yī biàn 。
细细感悟着这股助他突破的灵力来源，苏语晴而后仿佛想到了什么，脸色一变。
...
lián máng shuāng xī guì dì ， míng xiǎng 、 gǎn xiè qǐ 【 hóng chén cí bēi zhēn xiān 】 de ēn cì lái 。
连忙双膝跪地，冥想、感谢起【红尘慈悲真仙】的恩赐来。
In the Spirit Wood Realm, before the faceless deity statue.
……
……
An invisible feedback of cultivation power appeared in Li Fan's body.
líng mù jiè ， wú miàn shén xiàng qián 。
灵木界，无面神像前。
This was due to Su Yuning's consecutive breakthroughs through the True Immortal Technique.
yī gǔ wú xíng de fǎn kuì xiū wèi ， píng kōng chū xiàn zài lǐ fán tǐ nèi 。
一股无形的反馈修为，凭空出现在李凡体内。
After subtracting what Li Fan had previously imparted to her, his own cultivation even slightly improved!
zhèng shì yuán zì yú zuò xiān jué ， sū yǔ qíng lián xù tū pò dài lái de ！
正是源自于坐仙诀，苏语晴连续突破带来的！
"What is this?"
jiǎn qù zhī qián lǐ fán cì yǔ sū yǔ qíng de ， yī lái yī huí zhī xià ， shèn zhì lǐ fán de xiū wèi hái lüè yǒu jīng jìn ！
减去之前李凡赐予苏语晴的，一来一回之下，甚至李凡的修为还略有精进！
Li Fan was utterly shocked.
“ zhè suàn shén me ？”
“这算什么？”
However, he quickly regained composure. The generation of feedback cultivation power did not violate common sense and still fell within the operational mechanism of the True Immortal Technique.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng zhèn hài mò míng 。
李凡心中震骇莫名。
If Li Fan personally expended cultivation energy to help someone advance their cultivation level, indeed, he would receive some feedback cultivation energy after the matter was resolved.
bù guò hěn kuài ， tā jiù lěng jìng xià lái 。
不过很快，他就冷静下来。
But the cost in cultivation energy during this process was too high. It was a loss-making transaction that didn't pay off.
fǎn kuì xiū wèi de chǎn shēng ， qí shí bìng méi yǒu wéi bèi cháng lǐ 、 yī rán zài zuò xiān jué de yùn zuò jī zhì fàn wéi zhī nèi 。
反馈修为的产生，其实并没有违背常理、依然在坐仙诀的运作机制范围之内。
"Now, through this faceless deity statue, the loss of transferring cultivation energy has been significantly reduced."
jiù xiàng lǐ fán rú guǒ bù xī qīn zì hào fèi xiū wèi ， bāng zhù bié rén tí shēng xiū wèi jìng jiè 。
就像李凡如果不惜亲自耗费修为，帮助别人提升修为境界。
"This makes such behavior profitable!"
shì chéng zhī hòu ， dí què shì kě yǐ shōu dào yí dìng de fǎn kuì xiū wèi de 。
事成之后，的确是可以收到一定的反馈修为的。
Li Fan instantly understood that this was an additional function of the mysterious faceless stone statue.
dàn shì ， zhè ge guò chéng zhōng chǎn shēng de xiū wèi sǔn hào shí zài tài dà 。 shǔ shí shì kuī běn mǎi mài ， dé bù cháng shī 。
但是，这个过程中产生的修为损耗实在太大。属实是亏本买卖，得不偿失。
"Communicating with believers and bestowing divine blessings..."
“ ér xiàn zài ， tōng guò zhè wú miàn xuán tiān xiàng ， dà fú dù jiǎn xiǎo le xiū wèi zhuǎn yí de sǔn hào 。”
“而现在，通过这无面玄天像，大幅度减小了修为转移的损耗。”
"It's becoming more like a charlatan."
“ shǐ de zhè zhǒng xíng wéi jū rán yě yǒu lì kě tú le ！”
“使得这种行为居然也有利可图了！”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes as he focused on the faceless deity statue again.
lǐ fán shùn jiān míng bái guò lái ， zhè shì zhè zūn shén mì de wú miàn shí xiàng fù dài de gōng néng 。
李凡瞬间明白过来，这是这尊神秘的无面石像附带的功能。
"If there is indeed some great power behind this statue,"
“ gōu tōng xìn tú 、 jiàng xià shén cì ……”
“沟通信徒、降下神赐……”
"Why would it not directly contact these 'believers' but instead transfer all these abilities and senses to me?"
“ hái zhēn shì yuè fā shén gùn le 。”
“还真是越发神棍了。”
"Has my secret been revealed?"
lǐ fán mī qǐ shuāng yǎn ， shì xiàn zài cì luò zài wú miàn shén xiàng shàng 。
李凡眯起双眼，视线再次落在无面神像上。
After much contemplation, Li Fan concluded that his secret was likely still safe.
“ nà me wèn tí lái le ， rú guǒ zhè shí xiàng bèi hòu ， zhēn de qiān shè dào mǒu wèi dà néng 。”
“那么问题来了，如果这石像背后，真的牵涉到某位大能。”
Given the nature of powerful beings, if they knew about the existence of "Truly Real" within him, he would not be playing cat-and-mouse games.
“ tā wèi hé bù qīn zì gēn zhè xiē 【 xìn tú 】 lián xì ， fǎn ér yào jiāng zhè xiē néng lì 、 gǎn yìng ， quán dōu zhuǎn jiāo gěi wǒ ne ？”
“他为何不亲自跟这些【信徒】联系，反而要将这些能力、感应，全都转交给我呢？”
He was more likely to descend and seize it directly.
“ wǒ de mì mì yǒu méi yǒu bào lù ？”
“我的秘密有没有暴露？”
"Or perhaps He is in a deep sleep due to some reason."
sī cǔn xǔ jiǔ ， lǐ fán dé chū de dá àn hái shì qīng xiàng yú méi yǒu de 。
思忖许久，李凡得出的答案还是倾向于没有的。
Li Fan's eyes flashed as he stared at the statue for a long time before slowly leaving.
bì jìng àn zhào nà xiē qiáng zhě de pí qì ， rú guǒ zhī xiǎo le tā tǐ nèi 【 hái zhēn 】 de cún zài ， jī hū bù kě néng hái huì gēn tā wán shén me māo shǔ yóu xì de 。
毕竟按照那些强者的脾气，如果知晓了他体内【还真】的存在，几乎不可能还会跟他玩什么猫鼠游戏的。
Without issuing an order that no one should approach the faceless stone statue, everything continued as usual, as if nothing had happened.
hěn dà gài lǜ ， huì zhí jiē jiàng lín 、 lüè duó 。
很大概率，会直接降临、掠夺。
As Li Fan moved away from the statue, the prayers in his mind gradually faded.
“ yào bù rán ， jiù shì tā yīn wèi shén me yuán yīn xiàn rù chén shuì 。”
“要不然，就是祂因为什么原因陷入沉睡。”
This further confirmed his judgment.
lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng 。
李凡目光闪动。
"Xuan Tian Sect..."
níng shì shí xiàng xǔ jiǔ ， zuì hòu huǎn bù lí kāi 。
凝视石像许久，最后缓步离开。
Li Fan urgently wanted to know more about this ancient mysterious sect. Even in the Immortal Era of the Ten Great Daoist Sects, it was an absolute taboo topic. Only the true core members of each sect had the right to know.
bìng méi yǒu xià dá cháng rén bù xǔ kào jìn wú miàn shí xiàng de mìng lìng ， ér shì yī qiè zhào jiù 、 jiù xiàng shén me shì dōu méi yǒu fā shēng guò yì bān 。
并没有下达常人不许靠近无面石像的命令，而是一切照旧、就像什么事都没有发生过一般。
Even after reincarnating multiple times, Li Fan only managed to glimpse a corner of Xuan Tian Sect through Sister Zhao's dreams.
lí shí xiàng yuǎn le ， lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng nà xiē qí dǎo shēng ， yě suí zhī màn màn xiāo shī 。
离石像远了，李凡脑海中那些祈祷声，也随之慢慢消失。
"Perhaps there is another way."
zhè ràng lǐ fán yù fā què dìng le zì jǐ de pàn duàn 。
这让李凡愈发确定了自己的判断。
Suddenly, Li Fan recalled the first副本 in the Fallen Immortal Realm: "Taking Longevity Fruits in Ning Yuan."
“ xuán tiān jiào ……”
“玄天教……”
His incarnation Li Chen was the object of possession by the future Xuan Tian Sect Dharmaraja.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng pò qiè de xiǎng yào zhī dào gèng duō guān yú zhè ge shàng gǔ shén mì jiào pài de xìn xī 。
李凡心中迫切的想要知道更多关于这个上古神秘教派的信息。
"If I wait for him to come to me, could I see this Dharmaraja in the Fallen Immortal Realm?"
kě bù yào shuō shù qiān nián hòu de xiàn zài le ， jiù suàn zài shàng gǔ de xiān dào shí zōng shí qī ， xuán tiān jiào yě shì jué duì de jìn jì huà tí 。
可不要说数千年后的现在了，就算在上古的仙道十宗时期，玄天教也是绝对的禁忌话题。
Li Fan felt his heart race. Since he only sent a fragment of his consciousness to the Fallen Immortal Realm, even if he were assimilated by the Dharmaraja, it would not harm his true self.
zhǐ yǒu gè mén pài de zhēn zhèng hé xīn ， cái yǒu zī gé zhī xiǎo 。
只有各门派的真正核心，才有资格知晓。
"Perhaps this is an opportunity that cannot be realized in real life."
lǐ fán jiù suàn lún huí duō shì ， yě zhǐ shì cóng zhào shī jiě de mèng jìng zhōng ， yǒu xìng kuī dé xuán tiān jiào de yī jiǎo 。
李凡就算轮回多世，也只是从赵师姐的梦境中，有幸窥得玄天教的一角。
"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you. As he attempts to possess Li Chen and merge with me, Li Chen tries to peek into his memories,"
“ huò xǔ ， hái yǒu gè bàn fǎ 。”
“或许，还有个办法。”
As for whether the Dharmaraja from the Fallen Immortal Realm could breach the boundary between the realm and reality to harm Li Fan...
lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng ， hū de xiǎng qǐ yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de dì yí gè fù běn 【 níng yuǎn qǔ shòu guǒ 】。
李凡脑海中，忽的想起陨仙境中的第一个副本【宁远取寿果】。
Unless surpassing that Fallen Immortal's power, it was impossible!
tā de jiàng lín shēn qū lǐ chén ， zhèng shì rì hòu nà wèi xuán tiān jiào fǎ wáng de duó shě duì xiàng 。
他的降临身躯李尘，正是日后那位玄天教法王的夺舍对象。
Li Fan's eyes flashed as he pondered. He deemed it feasible.
“ rú guǒ wǒ shǒu zhū dài tù ， shì bú shì jiù néng zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng ， jiàn dào zhè wèi fǎ wáng ？”
“如果我守株待兔，是不是就能在陨仙境中，见到这位法王？”
Thus, he quickly made up his mind.
lǐ fán bù jīn pēng rán xīn dòng 。
李凡不禁怦然心动。
He flickered into the closed-off secret room in the Spirit Wood Realm and set up the ritual.
yóu yú qián wǎng yǔn xiān jìng de ， bù guò shì yī lǚ shén shí 。
由于前往陨仙境的，不过是一缕神识。
"Due to my fear of Mr. Bai, I hesitated before entering the Fallen Immortal Realm without finding a solution to the隐患of Truly Real."
suǒ yǐ jiù suàn bèi zhè wèi fǎ wáng tóng huà ， duì běn tǐ yě méi yǒu rèn hé de wēi hài 。
所以就算被这位法王同化，对本体也没有任何的危害。
"But now, the crisis brought by Xuan Tian Sect seems more imminent."
“ huò xǔ ， zhè qià shì yí gè xiàn shí zhī zhōng nán yǐ shí xiàn de liáng jī 。”
“或许，这恰是一个现实之中难以实现的良机。”
"As for risks..."
“ zài níng shì shēn yuān de shí hòu ， shēn yuān yě zài níng shì zhe nǐ 。 dāng tā shì tú zhàn jù lǐ chén de shēn qū 、 gēn lǐ fán róng wéi yī tǐ de tóng shí ， lǐ chén yě zài shì tú kuī sì tā nǎo hǎi zhōng de jì yì 。”
“在凝视深渊的时候，深渊也在凝视着你。当他试图占据李尘的身躯、跟李凡融为一体的同时，李尘也在试图窥伺他脑海中的记忆。”
Li Fan's eyes showed no fear or hesitation: "Fear and timidity lead nowhere! I Li Fan am not that vulgar person!"
zhì yú yǔn xiān jìng de nà wèi fǎ wáng ， shì fǒu kě néng chuān guò yǔn xiān jìng gēn xiàn shí de jiè xiàn ， duì xiàn shí zhōng de lǐ fán zào chéng yǐng xiǎng yǔ shāng hài ……
至于陨仙境的那位法王，是否可能穿过陨仙境跟现实的界限，对现实中的李凡造成影响与伤害……
"Prosperity, Heavenly Immortal of Xuan Huang!"
chú fēi shí lì chāo yuè nà wèi yǔn xiān ， fǒu zé duàn rán bù kě néng zuò dào zhè diǎn ！
除非实力超越那位陨仙，否则断然不可能做到这点！
Li Fan silently recited. In an instant, the surroundings distorted.
lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng ， sī lǜ yī fān ， jué de kě xíng 。
李凡目光闪动，思虑一番，觉得可行。
Unsurprisingly, he was transported back to the "Taking Longevity Fruits in Ning Yuan"副本.
yú shì hěn kuài xià dìng le jué xīn 。
于是很快下定了决心。
"Junior Brother? Junior Brother?"
shēn xíng shǎn shuò ， lái dào le líng mù jiè bì guān mì shì zhōng 。
身形闪烁，来到了灵木界闭关密室中。
Zhang Qianmo's familiar voice echoed in his ears.
shú liàn de bù xià yí shì 。
熟练的布下仪式。
The strange sensation dissipated as Li Fan turned to face Zhang Qianmo.
“ zhī qián shì yīn wèi jì dàn bái xiān shēng ， suǒ yǐ xiǎng zhe zài méi yǒu zhǎo dào néng gòu chè dǐ jiě jué nà bù yuàn fā dòng hái zhēn de yǐn huàn zhī qián ， bù zài jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng 。”
“之前是因为忌惮白先生，所以想着在没有找到能够彻底解决那不愿发动还真的隐患之前，不再进入陨仙境。”
"Junior Brother, what happened?" Zhang Qianmo's gaze was filled with confusion and concern.
“ bù guò rú jīn ， xuán tiān jiào dài lái de wēi jī sì hū gèng pò zài méi jié yì diǎn 。”
“不过如今，玄天教带来的危机似乎更迫在眉睫一点。”
"It's my first time leaving the mountain; I'm a bit excited."
“ zhì yú fēng xiǎn ……”
“至于风险……”
Li Fan quickly entered character, taking over where Zhang Senior Brother left off.
lǐ fán yǎn shén méi yǒu sī háo wèi jù 、 jiān yì wú bǐ ：“ wèi shǒu wèi wěi ， nán chéng dà shì ！ wǒ lǐ fán qǐ shì nà zhǒng cū bǐ zhī rén ！”
李凡眼神没有丝毫畏惧、坚毅无比：“畏首畏尾，难成大事！我李凡岂是那种粗鄙之人！”
As they chatted, they arrived in Ning Yuan City.
“ fú shēng ， xuán huáng tiān zūn ！”
“福生，玄黄天尊！”
Just as planned, Zhang Senior Brother eagerly went to find his old flame Scarlet Dew.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng mò niàn ， xià yī kè ， zhōu wéi de huà miàn dùn shí niǔ qū 。
李凡心中默念，下一刻，周围的画面顿时扭曲。
He entrusted Li Fan with the task of collecting longevity fruits.
méi yǒu yì wài de ， tā chóng xīn huí dào le 【 níng yuǎn qǔ shòu guǒ 】 fù běn zhōng 。
没有意外的，他重新回到了【宁远取寿果】副本中。
Li Fan smiled and did not intervene.
“ shī dì ？ shī dì ？”
“师弟？师弟？”
After parting ways, Li Fan directly headed for the Central Longevity Tree in the city center to collect three longevity fruits under the guidance of City Manager Song HeSong.
zhāng qiān mò shú xī de shēng yīn cóng ěr biān chuán lái 。
章阡陌熟悉的声音从耳边传来。
Soon after removing the fruits from their seal, as per "plot," Cao Liang and other Immortal Alliance cultivators would ambush Zhang Senior Brother's old flame Scarlet Dew, trying to provoke him into a fight. In the end, they were outsmarted and killed instead.
yì yàng gǎn rú cháo shuǐ bān tuì qù ， lǐ fán zhuǎn tóu kàn xiàng zhāng qiān mò 。
异样感如潮水般退去，李凡转头看向章阡陌。
Li Fan turned to look at Song HeSong, his face showing an eerie smile.
“ shī dì ， nǐ zěn me le ？” zhāng qiān mò de yǎn shén yǒu xiē yí huò yǔ guān xīn 。
“师弟，你怎么了？”章阡陌的眼神有些疑惑与关心。
Song Manager's heart raced as he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
“ dì yī cì xià shān ， xīn zhōng yǒu xiē jī dòng 。”
“第一次下山，心中有些激动。”
"Spit!"
lǐ fán zhè cì hěn kuài jìn rù le jué sè ， jiē xià le zhāng shī xiōng de huà 。
李凡这次很快进入了角色，接下了章师兄的话。
Without warning, Li Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper.
gēn tā tán xiào zhī jiān ， jiù lái dào le níng yuǎn chéng 。
跟他谈笑之间，就来到了宁远城。
"Senior Brother, save me!"
hé jì dìng de guǐ jì yī yàng ， zhāng shī xiōng pò bù jí dài yào qù zhǎo tā de chì xiá lǎo xiāng hǎo 。
和既定的轨迹一样，章师兄迫不及待要去找他的赤霞老相好。
Li Fan shouted.
Beyond the Realm.
Just after finishing her prayer, Su Yuning, who was cultivating by the Spirit Tower, suddenly turned a deep rosy red.
Her body felt as if it had been forcibly stretched open by some massive object, emitting a painful groan.
As she stood there, feeling lost and confused, this mysterious spiritual energy that descended into her body began to dissolve like melting ice, spreading through her body with a powerful rush.
