tōng guò chuán sòng zhèn huí dào le wàn xiān dǎo ， lǐ fán fā xiàn yún shuǐ tiān gōng xiàn shì de xiāo xī yǐ jīng zhuàn kāi le 。
通过传送阵回到了万仙岛，李凡发现云水天宫现世的消息已经传开了。
Returning to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island via the teleportation array, Li Fan found that news of Cloud Water Heavenly Palace resurfacing had spread far and wide.
《 sù kàn ！ chén fēng qiān nián guǐ yì zōng mén chóng xiàn rén jiān 》、《 wēn róu shī xiōng jìng rán bàn yè yù xíng bù guǐ ……》、《 jué mì qíng bào ，10 gòng xiàn diǎn yī fèn ， tóng sǒu wú qī 》

**速看！千年古宗重现人间**
**温柔师兄竟然半夜欲行不轨……**
**绝密情报，10贡献点一份，童叟无欺**
zuì kāi shǐ ， shì nà jiāo xiū yuǎn suǒ fàn mài de qíng bào 。 zhǐ yǒu qín táng shì liàn de dì yī zhòng kǎo yàn xiāng guān nèi róng 。
最开始，是那焦修远所贩卖的情报。只有秦堂试炼的第一重考验相关内容。
Initially, it was the information sold by Jiao Xiuyuan. Only the content related to the first level of trials at Qiantang Temple.
bù guò yóu yú shì dì yī shǒu qíng bào ， réng rán mài chū le 30 diǎn gòng xiàn dù yī fèn de gāo jià 。
不过由于是第一手情报，仍然卖出了30点贡献度一份的高价。
However, due to its being a firsthand report, it still fetched a high price of 30 contribution points per piece.
jiāo xiū yuǎn yīn cǐ hěn shì zhuàn le yī bǐ 。
焦修远因此很是赚了一笔。
Jiao Xiuyuan made quite a profit from this.
bù gòu hòu lái suí zhe xìng cún zhě men cóng yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhōng bù duàn fǎn huí ， guān yú zhè ge guǐ yì zōng mén yí jì de qíng bào yě zhú jiàn fēng fù qǐ lái 。
不够后来随着幸存者们从云水天宫中不断返回，关于这个诡异宗门遗迹的情报也逐渐丰富起来。
But as more survivors returned from Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, the information about the mysterious sect's ruins gradually became richer. The prices dropped sharply.
jià gé yě suí zhī zhòu jiǎn 。
价格也随之骤减。
However, since only a limited number of people had explored first, the current circulating reports were still limited to the Qiantang Temple statue and its surrounding peculiarities.
bù guò ， yóu yú dì yī pī tàn suǒ de rén yǒu xiàn ， mù qián shì miàn shàng liú chuán de qíng bào hái jǐn xiàn yú qín táng shí xiàng yǐ jí zhōu biān jǐ gè guǐ yì 。
不过，由于第一批探索的人有限，目前市面上流传的情报还仅限于秦堂石像以及周边几个诡异。
Information on deeper areas like the Soul Refining Tower and Taiyi Hall in Cloud Water Heavenly Palace remained blank.
yún shuǐ tiān gōng gēng shēn chù ， bǐ rú liàn yāo tǎ 、 tài yī diàn děng qū yù de qíng bào ， shàng hái shì yí piàn kòng bái 。
云水天宫更深处，比如炼妖塔、太一殿等区域的情报，尚还是一片空白。
Shaking his head, Li Fan returned to the Ten Thousand Immortals Mirror and began tallying up this trip's gains.
lǐ fán yáo le yáo tóu ， huí dào le tiān xuán jìng nèi ， kāi shǐ qīng diǎn zhè cì de shōu huò 。
李凡摇了摇头，回到了天玄镜内，开始清点这次的收获。
- The Cloud Water Illusion Art taught by Qiantang Temple,
- The insect master's entangling insect technique,
- The Cloud Water Diagrams
- And the items obtained from Si Kongyi: the Calming Sea Divine Sword, Small Truly Real Decision, and the Steal Heaven Change Sun Command.
qín táng chuán shòu de 《 yún shuǐ huàn mèng gōng 》、 chóng dào rén de fù chóng shén tōng 、《 yún shuǐ tú lù 》。
秦堂传授的《云水幻梦功》、虫道人的缚虫神通、《云水图箓》。
Currently, he had already practiced Thousand Mechanisms and Jade Circle, Soul Illusion Technique, and Shadow's Echo.
yǐ jí dé zì sī kōng yí de 《 dìng hǎi shén jiàn 》，《 tōu tiān huàn rì jué 》， tōu tiān huàn rì lìng 。
以及得自司空宜的《定海神剑》，《偷天换日决》，偷天换日令。
The saying goes that one cannot chew too much at once. Among these new techniques, which to practice would require a choice.
mù qián tā yǐ jīng xiū liàn le 《 qiān jī yù huán jīn zhāng 》、《 míng líng huàn gōng 》、《 rú yǐng suí xíng jué 》。
目前他已经修炼了《千机玉寰金章》、《冥灵幻功》、《如影随形诀》。
Among them, entangling insects was a natural talent and did not need cultivation.
suǒ wèi tān duō jiáo bù làn ， zhè cì xīn de jǐ mén gōng fǎ ， jù tǐ yào xiū xíng nǎ mén ， zì rán yào yǒu suǒ qǔ shě 。
所谓贪多嚼不烂，这次新的几门功法，具体要修行哪门，自然要有所取舍。
Cloud Water Illusion Art had endless uses. It would be essential for his future plans, so he had no choice but to practice it.
qí zhōng fù chóng nǎi shì tiān fù shén tōng ， wú xū xiū liàn 。
其中缚虫乃是天赋神通，无需修炼。
He could cultivate Steal Heaven Change Sun, but...
《 yún shuǐ huàn mèng gōng 》， miào yòng wú qióng 。 lǐ fán jiē xià lái de jì huà ， tā gèng shì yǒu dà yòng 。 suǒ yǐ bù dé bù xiū 。
《云水幻梦功》，妙用无穷。李凡接下来的计划，它更是有大用。所以不得不修。
Scanning the Steal Heaven Change Sun Command in his storage ring with his spirit sense, Li Fan decided that the technique of creating an avatar was worth trying.
《 tōu tiān huàn rì jué 》 kě yǐ xiū liàn ， zhǐ bù guò ma ……
《偷天换日决》可以修炼，只不过嘛……
As for the technique created by Si Kongyue that transformed life essence into a Steal Heaven Change Sun Command, there was no need to practice it.
lǐ fán shén shí zài chǔ wù jiè zhōng de tōu tiān huàn rì lìng shàng yī sǎo ér guò 。
李凡神识在储物戒中的偷天换日令上一扫而过。
In Li Fan's view, Si Kongyue's survival technique was far from perfect.
nà liàn zhì huà shēn zhī fǎ kě yǐ cháng shì 。
那炼制化身之法可以尝试。
At least with his own method, trapping both the main body and the avatar, then continuously killing them, so-called resurrection was just a joke.
zhì yú hòu lái sī kōng yuè suǒ chuàng ， jiāng shēng mìng běn zhì zhuǎn huàn wèi tōu tiān huàn rì lìng de gōng fǎ ， jiù dà kě bù bì xiū liàn le 。
至于后来司空玥所创，将生命本质转换为偷天换日令的功法，就大可不必修炼了。
What in this world could be better for self-preservation than his "Truly Real"?
zài lǐ fán kàn lái ， sī kōng yuè zhè bǎo mìng zhī fǎ ， yuǎn chēng bù shàng wán měi 。
在李凡看来，司空玥这保命之法，远称不上完美。
Why bother to focus on trivial matters?
zhì shǎo zhǐ yào shì lǐ fán zhè bān ， jiāng běn zūn hé fēn shēn jìn shù kùn zhù ， suí hòu bù duàn miè shā 。
至少只要似李凡这般，将本尊和分身尽数困住，随后不断灭杀。
Moreover...
suǒ wèi de fù huó ， yě zhǐ shì xiào huà ér yǐ 。
所谓的复活，也只是笑话而已。
Looking at that slightly eerie token which seemed almost alive, Li Fan felt an inkling of premonition.
zhè shì shàng ， lùn bǎo mìng ， hái yǒu shén me bǐ tā de “ hái zhēn ” gèng qiáng ？
这世上，论保命，还有什么比他的“还真”更强？
"Steal Heaven Change Sun. Who steals from whom? It's hard to say."
hé bì qù shě běn zhú mò 。
何必去舍本逐末。
"There's no need to risk it. I'll just put it aside for now and verify later if the opportunity arises."
gèng hé kuàng ……
更何况……
"The Calming Sea Divine Sword can be cultivated all the way to Golden Core Realm. When perfected, it can condense 108 Calming Sea Swords in his dantian.
kàn zhe nà lüè xiǎn yāo yì ， fǎng fú huó wù de lìng pái ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn shǎn guò yī sī yù gǎn 。
看着那略显妖异，仿佛活物的令牌，李凡心中隐隐闪过一丝预感。
"Against a single opponent, one hundred swords can be released simultaneously; against a group, they can form a Calming Sea Sword Formation. It's an unparalleled martial technique."
“ tōu tiān huàn rì 。 dào dǐ shì shuí huàn shuí ， kǒng pà hái zhēn bù hǎo shuō 。”
“偷天换日。到底是谁换谁，恐怕还真不好说。”
"It has great power, but I'm not eager to cultivate it just yet."
“ bù bì qù mào zhè ge fēng xiǎn 。 jiù xiān liào zhe ba ， děng yǐ hòu yǒu jī huì zài yàn zhèng xià 。”
“不必去冒这个风险。就先撂着吧，等以后有机会再验证下。”
"Now that the anchor is set for 12 years, in my previous life, I spent 31 years fighting the Crimson Flame Ocean. Before this, I was hesitant about whether to participate in such a major event. With this chance and the avatar technique along with Cloud Water Illusion Art, even if the main body flees to a distant continent, stirring up some waves in Cunyun Sea might still be possible."
“《 dìng hǎi shén jiàn 》， néng yī lù xiū xíng dào jīn dān jìng 。 xiū zhì dà chéng ， kě yú dān tián nèi níng jù yì bǎi líng bā méi dìng hǎi jiàn 。”
“《定海神剑》，能一路修行到金丹境。修至大成，可于丹田内凝聚一百零八枚定海剑。”
...
“ duì dān kě bǎi jiàn qí fā ， duì qún kě yǐ zǔ chéng dìng hǎi jiàn zhèn 。 nǎi shì yī děng yī de shā fá gōng fǎ 。”
“对单可百剑齐发，对群可以组成定海剑阵。乃是一等一的杀伐功法。”
In an instant, Li Fan's mind raced through various plans. After much contemplation, he set them aside.
“ wēi lì bù sú ， dàn què bù zháo jí xiū liàn 。”
“威力不俗，但却不着急修炼。”
Taking out the small multicolored model from his storage ring, he examined it closely.
“ rú jīn yǐ shì máo dìng 12 nián 。 shàng yī shì chì yán fén hǎi ， shì zài máo dìng 31 nián 。 zhī qián wǒ hái duì shì fǒu cān yù zhè yī dà shì jiàn yǒu suǒ yóu yù 。 rú jīn yī fān jī yuán jiā shēn ， ruò shì tōng guò fēn shēn yǔ yún shuǐ huàn mèng gōng 。 jí shǐ běn zūn táo wǎng yáo yuǎn dà lù ， yě wèi bì bù néng zài zhè cóng yún hǎi jiǎo dòng yī fān fēng yǔ 。”
“如今已是锚定12年。上一世赤炎焚海，是在锚定31年。之前我还对是否参与这一大事件有所犹豫。如今一番机缘加身，若是通过分身与云水幻梦功。即使本尊逃往遥远大陆，也未必不能在这丛云海搅动一番风雨。”
"If not for me personally obtaining this from Taiyi, I wouldn't have believed that this was really the Cloud Water Diagrams," Li Fan said after a thorough examination, still unable to discern any secrets. "Perhaps there is indeed something hidden here, but if we can't decipher it, it's as good as trash. Exchanging for 100,000 contribution points seems most appropriate."
……
……
"But, if the main body hands it over, it would be too obvious. I need to first create an avatar before doing so."
chà nà jiān ， lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò zhǒng zhǒng móu huà 。 xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， fāng cái jiāng qí xiān xíng fàng xià 。
刹那间，李凡脑海中闪过种种谋划。许久之后，方才将其先行放下。
Checking his current contribution points, Li Fan realized he had nearly spent all of them fighting Si Kongyi.
cóng chǔ wù jiè zhōng ná chū nà ge xiǎo xiǎo de qī cǎi mó xíng ， xì xì dǎ liàng 。
从储物戒中拿出那个小小的七彩模型，细细打量。
He only had about 560 left.
“ ruò bú shì zhè dōng xī shì wǒ qīn zì cóng tài yī shǒu shàng qǔ dé ， kǒng pà wǒ yě bú huì xiāng xìn ， zhè jiù shì chuán shuō zhōng de 《 yún shuǐ tú lù 》。” yán jiū le yī fān ， yī jiù méi néng kàn chū yǒu shén me ào mì ， lǐ fán bù yóu dì gǎn tàn dào 。
“若不是这东西是我亲自从太一手上取得，恐怕我也不会相信，这就是传说中的《云水图箓》。”研究了一番，依旧没能看出有什么奥秘，李凡不由地感叹道。
Fortunately, the materials for creating avatars weren't expensive.
“ huò xǔ zhè lǐ miàn zhēn de yǐn cáng zhe mì mì 。 dàn ruò pò jiě bù chū ， bǎi zài shǒu lǐ yě gēn lā jī méi shén me qū bié 。 hái shì huàn qǔ shí wàn gòng xiàn dù zuì wèi hé shì 。”
“或许这里面真的隐藏着秘密。但若破解不出，摆在手里也跟垃圾没什么区别。还是换取十万贡献度最为合适。”
- Supreme Bones
- Celestial Essence Milk
- Broken Bone Treasure Sinew...
“ zhǐ shì ， běn zūn shàng jiāo de huà tài wèi xiǎn yǎn 。 hái shì yào xiān bǎ fēn shēn liàn zhì chū lái zài shuō 。”
“只是，本尊上交的话太为显眼。还是要先把分身炼制出来再说。”
Li Fan purchased these one by one. When his contribution points were down to just 135, he bought everything except the last material, Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand.
lǐ fán chá kàn le xià zì jǐ mù qián de gòng xiàn diǎn shù 。
李凡查看了下自己目前的贡献点数。
According to Si Kongyi's memories, this could be found somewhere in Cunyun Sea.
zhī qián wèi le duì fù sī kōng yí ， tā jī hū huā guāng le shēn shàng suǒ yǒu de gòng xiàn dù 。
之前为了对付司空宜，他几乎花光了身上所有的贡献度。
Turning on the auxiliary cultivation mode, Li Fan began practicing Steal Heaven Change Sun Technique.
zhǐ shèng xià le wǔ bǎi duō diǎn 。
只剩下了五百多点。
This technique was somewhat similar to his main practice, Thousand Mechanisms and Jade Circle.
hǎo zài liàn zhì fēn shēn de cái liào dà duō yě bù suàn áng guì 。
好在炼制分身的材料大多也不算昂贵。
While Thousand Mechanisms and Jade Circle cultivated qi mechanisms, Steal Heaven Change Sun focused on stealing numbers.
jí shàng gǔ 、 tiān líng rǔ 、 suì gǔ bǎo jīn ……
极上骨、天灵乳、碎骨宝筋……
Whether it was qi mechanism or number, both were subtle yet real. With the启灵加成 (spirit awakening enhancement), Li Fan managed to cultivate it to middle-stage Qi Gathering in just three days.
lǐ fán yī yī jiāng qí gòu rù náng zhōng 。
李凡一一将其购入囊中。
But his contribution points were now down to a pitiful 35.
zuì hòu zài gòng xiàn dù zhǐ shèng xià 135 diǎn de shí hòu ， lǐ fán jiāng chú le zuì hòu yī zhǒng cái liào tiān jīng líng shā zhī wài de qí yú cái liào dōu gòu qí le 。
最后在贡献度只剩下135点的时候，李凡将除了最后一种材料天晶灵砂之外的其余材料都购齐了。
---
zhì yú zhè tiān jīng líng shā ， zài sī kōng yí jì yì zhōng ， cóng yún hǎi mǒu chù jiù kě yǐ cǎi jí 。
至于这天晶灵砂，在司空宜记忆中，丛云海某处就可以采集。
Since he could create an avatar at middle-stage Qi Gathering with Steal Heaven Change Sun, Li Fan decided to stop cultivating and took the materials.
suí hòu lǐ fán kāi qǐ le fǔ zhù xiū liàn mó shì ， xiū liàn qǐ le 《 tōu tiān huàn rì jué 》。
随后李凡开启了辅助修炼模式，修炼起了《偷天换日决》。
Through the teleportation array, he left Ten Thousand Immortals Island and arrived in the Western Sea of Cunyun, Lingyun Island.
zhè 《 tōu tiān huàn rì jué 》， yǔ lǐ fán zhǔ xiū de 《 qiān jī yù huán jīn zhāng 》 dǎo shì yǒu xiē lèi sì 。
这《偷天换日诀》，与李凡主修的《千机玉寰金章》倒是有些类似。
The location where Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand was found wasn't far from Lingyun Island.
《 qiān jī yù huán jīn zhāng 》 shì xiū qì jī ， ér 《 tōu tiān huàn rì jué 》 shì qiè mìng shù 。
《千机玉寰金章》是修气机，而《偷天换日诀》是窃命数。
After greeting the guardian of Lingyun Island, Li Fan activated his concealment talisman and flew towards the remembered spot.
wú lùn shì qì jī hái shì mìng shù ， dōu shì xuán zhī yòu xuán 、 nán yǐ gǎn yìng ， dàn yòu dōu zhēn shí cún zài 。
无论是气机还是命数，都是玄之又玄、难以感应，但又都真实存在。
Over several days, he landed at a sea surface dotted with large and small whirlpools. He then dived underwater.
qǐ líng jiā chéng zhī xià ， lǐ fán yòng le 3 tiān ， jiāng qí xiū liàn dào le liàn qì zhōng qī 。
启灵加成之下，李凡用了3天，将其修炼到了炼气中期。
The water here was shallow, reaching the bottom after just 300 to 400 meters.
ér gòng xiàn dù ， yě zhǐ shèng xià le kě lián de 35 diǎn 。
而贡献度，也只剩下了可怜的35点。
Ruins were scattered everywhere, suggesting this had once been an ancient site.
fǎn zhèng 《 tōu tiān huàn rì jué 》 liàn qì zhōng qī jiù néng liàn zhì fēn shēn le ， suǒ xìng tā jiù tíng zhǐ le xiū liàn 。
反正《偷天换日诀》炼气中期就能炼制分身了，索性他就停止了修炼。
Though the scale of the ruins was impressive, Li Fan wondered why it had sunk to the bottom.
dài shàng cái liào ， lǐ fán tōng guò chuán sòng zhèn lí kāi le wàn xiān dǎo ， lái dào le cóng yún hǎi xī fāng hǎi yù ， líng yùn dǎo 。
带上材料，李凡通过传送阵离开了万仙岛，来到了丛云海西方海域，灵韵岛。
Such ruins were common in Cunyun Sea. Li Fan wasn't surprised; he had heard tales of wind disasters sinking hundreds of islands when he first arrived.
nà tiān jīng líng shā suǒ zài zhī chù ， jiù lí líng yùn dǎo bù yuǎn 。
那天晶灵砂所在之处，就离灵韵岛不远。
Approaching a leaning square stone, Li Fan crawled through the缝隙 (gaps) between the stones.
gēn líng yùn dǎo zhèn shǒu dǎ le shēng zhāo hū ， lǐ fán suí shǒu jī fā le cáng xíng fú ， cháo zhe jì yì zhōng de dì diǎn fēi qù 。
跟灵韵岛镇守打了声招呼，李凡随手激发了藏形符，朝着记忆中的地点飞去。
Inside was a dark cave, but hundreds of glowing jellyfish swam around like moving stars.
yī lián guò le shù rì ， zài yī chù bù mǎn dà dà xiǎo xiǎo xuán wō de hǎi miàn tíng xià ， suí hòu qián rù hǎi dǐ 。
一连过了数日，在一处布满大大小小漩涡的海面停下，随后潜入海底。
The ground was covered with glittering fine sand.
zhè lǐ hǎi shuǐ bǐ jiào qiǎn ， zhǐ sān sì bǎi mǐ hòu ， biàn dào dá le dǐ bù 。
这里海水比较浅，只三四百米后，便到达了底部。
In the center of the cave, a large stone had been hollowed out to serve as a home for the jellyfish.
dào chù dōu shì dǎo tā de jiàn zhù cán hái ， yīng gāi shì yī chù yí jì 。
到处都是倒塌的建筑残骸，应该是一处遗迹。
This sparkling sand on the ground was naturally Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand.
yí jì guī mó hái tǐng dà ， yī xī néng xiǎng xiàng chū dāng chū fán huá de mú yàng 。
遗迹规模还挺大，依稀能想象出当初繁华的模样。
Li Fan collected the sand and couldn't help but marvel at nature's wonders.
zhǐ shì bù zhī wèi hé chén rù le hǎi dǐ 。
只是不知为何沉入了海底。
This place was where Si Kongyi accidentally discovered this site.
zhè zhǒng yí jì cóng yún hǎi gè chù dōu shì ， lǐ fán yě méi jué de xī qí 。
这种遗迹丛云海各处都是，李凡也没觉得稀奇。
The central stone was just an ordinary Celestial Essence Ore, but after being consumed and digested by these unknown jellyfish, it transformed into the precious material, Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand.
bì jìng ， lǐ fán gāng lái dào cóng yún hǎi de shí hòu ， jiù tīng dào guò fēng zāi sì nüè 、 shù bǎi zuò dǎo yǔ chén mò de shì qíng 。
毕竟，李凡刚来到丛云海的时候，就听到过风灾肆虐、数百座岛屿沉没的事情。
It truly was incredible. Even for a Foundation Establishment Refiner, it would take considerable effort to create such a substance.
Returning to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island via the teleportation array, Li Fan found that news of Cloud Water Heavenly Palace resurfacing had spread far and wide.
**速看！千年古宗重现人间**
**温柔师兄竟然半夜欲行不轨……**
**绝密情报，10贡献点一份，童叟无欺**
