wèi qí zhèng jì yì zhōng ， kāng kǎi chén cí de zhōng nián xiū shì ， lǐ fán suī rán cóng wèi jiàn guò 。
卫奇正记忆中，慷慨陈词的中年修士，李凡虽然从未见过。
Wei Qi zheng's memory contained an eloquent middle-aged cultivator, Li Fan. Although he had never met him before.
dàn bù zhī wèi hé ， cǐ rén xíng wéi jǔ zhǐ yǐ jí shuō huà de shén tài ， dōu ràng lǐ fán yǐn yǐn gǎn dào shú xī 。
但不知为何，此人行为举止以及说话的神态，都让李凡隐隐感到熟悉。
But for some reason, the man’s actions and demeanor, as well as his way of speaking, made Li Fan feel a vague sense of familiarity. Especially when cold glints occasionally flashed in his eyes, confirming to Li Fan that he must have interacted with this person in one of his past lives.
yóu qí shì tā yǎn shén zhōng bù shí shǎn guò de hán guāng ， gèng ràng lǐ fán què dìng ， zì jǐ kěn dìng zài mǒu yī shì yǔ cǐ rén yǒu guò jiē chù 。
尤其是他眼神中不时闪过的寒光，更让李凡确定，自己肯定在某一世与此人有过接触。
While observing, Li Fan searched through the scenes recorded by the Dao Path Stone for similar figures.
lǐ fán yī biān guān kàn ， yī biān cóng huà dào shí jì lù de chǎng jǐng zhōng xún zhǎo xiāng sì rén wù 。
李凡一边观看，一边从化道石记录的场景中寻找相似人物。
"The Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Council faced off for thousands of years, each winning some battles. Xuanhuang cultivators were affected by the wars, suffering greatly."
“ xiān méng yǔ wǔ lǎo huì duì zhì shù qiān nián ， hù yǒu shèng fù 。 xuán huáng xiū shì ， bèi zhàn luàn bō jí ， kǔ bù kān yán 。”
“仙盟与五老会对峙数千年，互有胜负。玄黄修士，被战乱波及，苦不堪言。”
"In order to finally end this situation, many ancestors racked their brains, eventually coming up with a method that could be considered ingenious."
“ wèi le chè dǐ zhōng jié zhè zhǒng jú miàn ， zhū duō xiān bèi dān jīng jié lǜ ， zhōng yú xiǎng chū le yí gè kān chēng jué miào de fāng fǎ 。”
“为了彻底终结这种局面，诸多先辈殚精竭虑，终于想出了一个堪称绝妙的方法。”
As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, the outlines of various regions within the Immortal Alliance appeared before the young people.
suí zhe zhōng nián xiū shì de huà ， wàn xiān méng gè zhōu de suō yǐng ， fú xiàn zài zhòng qīng nián yǎn qián 。
随着中年修士的话，万仙盟各州的缩影，浮现在众青年眼前。
"Everyone knows that in each floating sky city of our Immortal Alliance stands a Heavenly Sage stone statue. Most people believe these were built to commemorate the Heavenly Sage's achievements. But have you ever thought about other possible uses for these statues?"
“ zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， wǒ men wàn xiān méng měi yī zuò fú kōng tiān chéng nèi ， dōu yǒu yī zuò tiān zūn shí xiàng 。 jué dà duō shù shì rén dōu rèn wéi ， zhè shì wèi le miǎn huái tiān zūn wěi yè ér jiàn zào 。 dàn nǐ men yǒu méi yǒu xiǎng guò ， zhè xiē shí xiàng ， qí shí kě néng hái yǒu bié de yòng tú ？”
“众所周知，我们万仙盟每一座浮空天城内，都有一座天尊石象。绝大多数世人都认为，这是为了缅怀天尊伟业而建造。但你们有没有想过，这些石像，其实可能还有别的用途？”
This statement caused the young people to look surprised.
cǐ yán yī chū ， qīng nián men quán dōu mù lù qí sè 。
此言一出，青年们全都目露奇色。
"When you entered the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, you should have sensed the lingering aura left by the Teaching Sage."
“ nǐ men zài jìn rù xiān méng zǒng bù de shí hòu ， yīng gāi dōu gǎn yìng dào le chuán fǎ tiān zūn cán liú de nà lǚ qì xī 。”
“你们在进入仙盟总部的时候，应该都感应到了传法天尊残留的那缕气息。”
"The construction of these statues was also a suggestion from the Teaching Sage himself."
“ ér jiàn zào zhè xiē shí xiàng ， tóng yàng shì chuán fǎ tiān zūn tā lǎo rén jiā shòu yì 。”
“而建造这些石象，同样是传法天尊他老人家授意。”
"Even the positions of each floating city were pre-designated by Him."
“ shèn zhì měi yī zuò fú kōng chéng de wèi zhì ， dōu shì tā tí qián zhǐ dìng de 。”
“甚至每一座浮空城的位置，都是祂提前指定的。”
"In every statue, there is a trace of the Heavenly Sage's will. If activated, it can summon a manifestation equivalent to the Sage's glance..."
“ měi yī zūn shí xiàng zhōng ， dōu yǒu tiān zūn de yī dào yí niàn cán liú 。 ruò shì yǐn dòng ， biàn kě yǐn dòng xiāng dāng yú tiān zūn yī piē de lì liàng ……”
“每一尊石像中，都有天尊的一道遗念残留。若是引动，便可引动相当于天尊一瞥的力量……”
The middle-aged cultivator slowed his speech here.
zhōng nián xiū shì jiǎng dào cǐ chù ， gù yì fàng màn shuō huà de sù dù 。
中年修士讲到此处，故意放慢说话的速度。
The young people, caught in the moment, found it hard to believe that just one glance could repel an ordinary Longevity Realm's all-out attack.
ér nà xiē qīng nián men yě dōu zhe le tào ， tīng dào zhǐ shì 【 tiān zūn yī piē 】， quán dōu bù jīn yǒu xiē bù yǐ wéi rán 。
而那些青年们也都着了套，听到只是【天尊一瞥】，全都不禁有些不以为然。
Seeing their expressions, the middle-aged cultivator revealed the expected smile.
jiù suàn chuán fǎ tiān zūn zài lì hài ， jǐn jǐn shì kàn shàng yī yǎn ér yǐ ， yòu néng zěn me yàng ？
就算传法天尊再厉害，紧紧是看上一眼而已，又能怎么样？
Then, with a solemn expression, he declared: "A single glance from the Heavenly Sage can withstand a Longevity Realm's full power strike!"
zhōng nián xiū shì kàn dào qīng nián men de shén qíng ， lù chū le yì liào zhī zhōng de xiào róng 。
中年修士看到青年们的神情，露出了意料之中的笑容。
The words echoed in the air. The 33 cultivators present slowly widened their eyes.
ér hòu shén sè sù mù ， zhì dì yǒu shēng ：“ tiān zūn yī piē ， jiù kě dǐ dǎng xún cháng cháng shēng jìng quán lì yī jī ！”
而后神色肃穆，掷地有声：“天尊一瞥，就可抵挡寻常长生境全力一击！”
"How is that possible?" A young cultivator couldn't help but refute.
huà yīn bù duàn huí dàng ， zài chǎng de sān shí sān wèi xiū shì ， quán dōu màn màn dèng dà le yǎn jīng 。
话音不断回荡，在场的三十三位修士，全都慢慢瞪大了眼睛。
"Even if the Teaching Sage was incredibly powerful, it would just be one glance. How could that make such a difference?"
“ zěn me kě néng ？” dāng chǎng jiù yǒu qīng nián xiū shì rěn bú zhù fǎn bó dào 。
“怎么可能？”当场就有青年修士忍不住反驳道。
"If the Heavenly Sage were truly so strong, why didn’t he unify Xuanhuang back then? Why leave this mess behind?"
“ chuán fǎ tiān zūn zài qiáng ， yě bù guò hái shì cháng shēng jìng 。 tóng wèi cháng shēng jìng ， zěn me chā jù huì rú cǐ zhī dà ？”
“传法天尊再强，也不过还是长生境。同为长生境，怎么差距会如此之大？”
The discussion erupted below.
“ ruò tiān zūn tā lǎo rén jiā zhēn de zhè me qiáng ， dāng nián wèi hé yòu bù gàn cuì zhí jiē yī tǒng xuán huáng ？ fǎn ér liú xià zhè me yí gè làn tān zi ？”
“若天尊他老人家真的这么强，当年为何又不干脆直接一统玄黄？反而留下这么一个烂摊子？”
Disregarding the middle-aged cultivator's authority, the young people argued their points.
chǎng xià dāng jí zhà kāi le guō 。
场下当即炸开了锅。
Under the gaze of the middle-aged cultivator, the cold glint in his eyes forced the young people to quiet down again.
wú shì zhōng nián xiū shì de quán wēi ， qīng nián men jù lǐ lì zhēng qǐ lái 。
无视中年修士的权威，青年们据理力争起来。
"Can we truly understand the Heavenly Sage’s thoughts? The reason for not unifying Xuanhuang back then is beyond us. But now, under clear instructions from the Heavenly Sage, it's time for one voice to dominate Xuanhuang."
zhōng nián xiū shì mù guāng sǎo guò ， lǐ fán shú xī de hán máng lǒng zhào xià ， qīng nián men yí gè gè yòu bèi pò chóng xīn ān jìng xià lái 。
中年修士目光扫过，李凡熟悉的寒芒笼罩下，青年们一个个又被迫重新安静下来。
The middle-aged cultivator spoke with a murderous intent.
“ tiān zūn de sī liáng ， qǐ shì wǒ men néng míng bái de ？ dāng nián méi yǒu tǒng yī xuán huáng jiè ， zì rán yǒu tā de yuán yīn 。 bù guò jīn shí bù tóng wǎng rì ， wǒ men jiē dào le tiān zūn míng què de zhǐ shì 。”
“天尊的思量，岂是我们能明白的？当年没有统一玄黄界，自然有他的原因。不过今时不同往日，我们接到了天尊明确的指示。”
"And you are key to achieving this great goal."
“ shì shí hòu ， ràng xuán huáng jiè zhǐ yǒu yī dào shēng yīn le 。”
“是时候，让玄黄界只有一道声音了。”
He pointed at them casually, and the scene in front of everyone changed again.
zhōng nián xiū shì mǎn shì shā qì dào 。
中年修士满是杀气道。
The scenery of Immortal Alliance territories slowly vanished, leaving behind nearly a thousand glowing points representing sky cities. Then, silver lines connected these points.
“ ér nǐ men ， jiù shì wán chéng zhè ge wěi dà mù biāo de guān jiàn 。”
“而你们，就是完成这个伟大目标的关键。”
"Have you noticed anything?" asked the middle-aged cultivator.
zhōng nián xiū shì suí shǒu yī zhǐ ， zhòng rén miàn qián de huà miàn zài dù biàn huà 。
中年修士随手一指，众人面前的画面再度变化。
Wei Qi zheng was the first to speak: "This... This is just like human meridians!"
wàn xiān méng lǐng dì de jǐng sè màn màn xiāo shī ， zhǐ liú xià jìn qiān gè dài biǎo zhe tiān chéng de shǎn guāng diǎn 。
万仙盟领地的景色慢慢消失，只留下近千个代表着天城的闪光点。
Other young people looked at Wei Qi zheng, then fixed their gaze on the increasingly clear network of points and lines before them. They all understood.
ér hòu ， yī dào dào yín sè de guāng xiàn jiāng zhè xiē liàng diǎn lián jiē qǐ lái 。
而后，一道道银色的光线将这些亮点连接起来。
"Could it be..."
“ nǐ men kàn chū lái shén me le ma ？” zhōng nián xiū shì wèn dào 。
“你们看出来什么了吗？”中年修士问道。
An unbelievable thought emerged in their minds.
wèi qí zhèng dì yí gè fā yán ， tuō kǒu ér chū dào ：“ zhè …… zhè jiǎn zhí xiàng jí le rén tǐ jīng luò ？！”
卫奇正第一个发言，脱口而出道：“这……这简直像极了人体经络？！”
The middle-aged cultivator confirmed their guess: "The Heavenly Sage's will is distributed across the Immortal Alliance according to human meridian patterns. If activated with secret techniques, you can summon a manifestation based on the Teaching Sage."
qí tā qīng nián fēn fēn kàn xiàng wèi qí zhèng ， ér hòu yòu sǐ sǐ dīng zhe qián fāng yuè lái yuè míng xiǎn de diǎn xiàn jiāo zhī tú 。
其他青年纷纷看向卫奇正，而后又死死盯着前方越来越明显的点线交织图。
"The Heavenly Sage’s will serves as the power source for the manifestation."
quán dōu huǎng rán dà wù 。
全都恍然大悟。
"If all of it could be activated..."
“ nán dào shuō ……”
“难道说……”
The middle-aged cultivator took a deep breath: "The Five Elders Council will fall soon!"
yí gè bù kě zhì xìn de niàn tou bù jīn zài tā men xīn zhōng yǒng xiàn 。
一个不可置信的念头不禁在他们心中涌现。
The 33 young people were stunned.
zhōng nián xiū shì kāi kǒu ， zhèng shí le tā men de cāi cè ：“ tiān zūn yí niàn ， àn zhào rén tǐ jīng luò de tè shū guī lǜ fēn bù zài xiān méng dà dì shàng 。 ruò shì néng yòng mì fǎ yǐn dòng ， jiù kě cóng xū kōng zhōng zhào huàn chū ， yī jù yǐ chuán fǎ tiān zūn wèi yuán xíng de fǎ xiàng 。”
中年修士开口，证实了他们的猜测：“天尊遗念，按照人体经络的特殊规律分布在仙盟大地上。若是能用秘法引动，就可从虚空中召唤出，一具以传法天尊为原型的法相。”
"And you are the key to unlocking this immense power..."
“ tiān zūn yí niàn ， xiāng dāng yú qū dòng fǎ xiàng de lì liàng yuán quán 。”
“天尊遗念，相当于驱动法相的力量源泉。”
As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, the young people became engrossed, their eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness.
“ ruò shì néng quán dōu yǐn dòng ……”
“若是能全都引动……”
The power of the Heavenly Sage's will was too great for a single cultivator to fully activate or inherit. Only by dividing it into 33 domains could each domain be managed by an unparalleled talent.
zhōng nián xiū shì shēn xī yì kǒu qì ：“ wǔ lǎo huì bù rì kě miè ！”
中年修士深吸一口气：“五老会不日可灭！”
When these 33 chosen immortals achieved unity in thought,
sān shí sān wèi qīng nián ， cǐ kè quán dōu zhēng zài dāng chǎng 。
三十三位青年，此刻全都怔在当场。
and familiarized themselves with the Heavenly Sage’s will, they would act as levers to summon its power!
“ ér nǐ men ， jiù shì kāi qǐ zhè gǔ qiáng dà lì liàng de yào shi ……”
“而你们，就是开启这股强大力量的钥匙……”
"The first time you call forth the manifestation of the Heavenly Sage, it will not last long."
zài zhōng nián xiū shì de jiǎng shù zhōng ， qīng nián men fēn fēn bèi xī yǐn le xīn shén 。 yǎn shén zhōng mǎn shì chōng jǐng yú yuè yuè yù shì 。
在中年修士的讲述中，青年们纷纷被吸引了心神。眼神中满是憧憬于跃跃欲试。
"You must seize this opportunity to understand and grasp the subtleties within."
tiān zūn yí niàn de lì liàng tài guò páng dà ， zhǐ kào yī wèi xiū shì ， gēn běn wú fǎ quán pán yǐn dòng 、 jì chéng 。
天尊遗念的力量太过庞大，只靠一位修士，根本无法全盘引动、继承。
"And during this process, none of you can be distracted. Remember, at that moment, you are collectively controlling the manifestation as a single entity."
zhǐ yǒu fēn ér huà zhī ， huà zuò sān shí sān yù 。
只有分而划之，化作三十三域。
"If any of you disagree, the manifestation may collapse."
měi yī yù dōu xū yào yī wèi jué shì zhī cái zhǔ chí 。
每一域都需要一位绝世之才主持。
The middle-aged cultivator detailed the various aspects of the Heavenly Sage's manifestation to the young people.
dāng zhè sān shí sān wèi xiān xuǎn zhě ， néng gòu zuò dào xīn niàn hé yī de dì bù 。
当这三十三位仙选者，能够做到心念合一的地步。
These 33 cultivators were all spirited young elites with their own pride. It was difficult for them to unite their hearts and minds.
zài bù duàn shú xī tiān zūn yí niàn ， jiù kě yī qí chōng dāng qiào bǎn ， yǐn dòng tiān zūn yí niàn zhī lì ！
再不断熟悉天尊遗念，就可一齐充当翘板，引动天尊遗念之力！
Therefore, the Immortal Alliance prepared a series of training sessions for them.
“ dì yī cì huàn chū tiān zūn fǎ xiàng ， suǒ chí xù de shí jiān dìng rán bú huì tài zhǎng 。”
“第一次唤出天尊法相，所持续的时间定然不会太长。”
Inside a transparent sphere filled with silver light, countless rapidly evolving worlds seemed to exist. The spirits of these 33 people were immersed in various trials: the chaos of human history, the mundane world; ancient cultivation realms' unexpected encounters, and possible future scenarios.
“ nǐ men yào zhuā jǐn zhè ge shí jī ， shú xī 、 lǐng wù cǐ zhōng de xuán jī 。”
“你们要抓紧这个时机，熟悉、领悟此中的玄机。”
But they were all forcibly bound together by various reasons, gathering as one. Only when they achieved unity could they finally break free from the cycle of rebirth.
“ ér qiě ， zài zhè ge guò chéng zhōng ， nǐ men dāng zhōng rèn hé yí gè rén ， dōu bù néng yǒu sī háo de fēn xīn 。 yào zhī dào ， zài nà shí hòu ， jiù xiāng dāng yú nǐ men sān shí sān rén zài gòng tóng yù shǐ zhāo fǎ xiāng 。”
“而且，在这个过程中，你们当中任何一个人，都不能有丝毫的分心。要知道，在那时候，就相当于你们三十三人在共同御使着法相。”
If any one of them had any ulterior motives, the cycle would restart.
“ rú guǒ nǐ men dāng zhōng yǒu fēn qí ， hěn kě néng dǎo zhì fǎ xiàng bēng jiě 。”
“如果你们当中有分歧，很可能导致法相崩解。”
Even with the Immortal Alliance's deliberate guidance, this was a long period.
zhōng nián xiū shì xiáng jìn de wèi qīng nián men jiè shào zhe guān yú tiān zūn fǎ xiàng de zhǒng zhǒng shì yí 。
中年修士详尽的为青年们介绍着关于天尊法相的种种事宜。
No one knew how many years passed in the virtual world. When these "young people" finally emerged,
zhè sān shí sān wèi xiū shì ， wú yī bú shì yì qì fēng fā de shào nián jùn jié 。 xīn zhōng dōu yǒu zì jǐ de ào qì 。
这三十三位修士，无一不是意气风发的少年俊杰。心中都有自己的傲气。
the greenness on their faces had vanished, replaced by沧桑 (sorrow and experience).
yào tā men xīn wǎng yī chù shǐ ， yòu hé qí nán ？
要他们心往一处使，又何其难？
They looked around, showing a mix of caution and bewilderment.
suǒ yǐ wàn xiān méng jiē xià lái wèi tā men zhǔn bèi le yī lián chuàn de xùn liàn 。
所以万仙盟接下来为他们准备了一连串的训练。
"Papapapa..."
yī chù mǎn shì yín bái guāng máng de tòu míng qiú tǐ nèi ， sì hū fēn bù zhe wú shù kuài sù yǎn huà de bù tóng shì jiè 。
一处满是银白光芒的透明球体内，似乎分布着无数快速衍化的不同世界。
In response to the middle-aged cultivator's continuous clapping, their suppressed memories from the past began to resurface.
zhè sān shí sān rén de shén shí bèi tóu rù shì jiè zhōng ， jīng lì zhǒng zhǒng mó nàn 。
这三十三人的神识被投入世界中，经历种种磨难。
"Very good. Now we begin our second lesson," said the middle-aged cultivator without considering the young people's feelings.
yǒu hóng chén luàn shì ， yǒu fán rén jiāng hú 。
有红尘乱世，有凡人江湖。
...
yǒu shàng gǔ xiū xiān jiè qí yù ， yǒu wèi lái kě néng chǎng jǐng 。
有上古修仙界奇遇，有未来可能场景。
Following this, Wei Qi zheng and his companions underwent even more brutal training. They were all stripped naked and locked in a pitch-black space with only simulated Teaching Sage auras present.
dàn wú yī lì wài de ， tā men sān shí sān rén dōu bèi qiáng xíng còu chéng jī bàn 。 yīn wèi zhǒng zhǒng yuán yīn ， jù dào yì qǐ 。
但无一例外的，他们三十三人都被强行凑成羁绊。因为种种原因，聚到一起。
Their eyes could not see, their ears could not hear.
Wei Qi zheng's memory contained an eloquent middle-aged cultivator, Li Fan. Although he had never met him before.
But for some reason, the man’s actions and demeanor, as well as his way of speaking, made Li Fan feel a vague sense of familiarity. Especially when cold glints occasionally flashed in his eyes, confirming to Li Fan that he must have interacted with this person in one of his past lives.
While observing, Li Fan searched through the scenes recorded by the Dao Path Stone for similar figures.
