“ zhè zhāo kě zhēn shì jué le ！”
“这招可真是绝了！”
"This technique is truly ingenious!"
wǔ wèi tiān zūn de lì liàng dí què bù jiǔ hòu biàn huì huī fù 。
五位天尊的力量的确不久后便会恢复。
The Five Sages' power would indeed recover soon.
dào shí hòu ， cháng shēng jìng miàn qián ， jiàn lì de yī qiè yōu shì dōu yào qǐng kè jiān huī fēi yān miè 。
到时候，长生境面前，建立的一切优势都要顷刻间灰飞烟灭。
When that happened, all the advantages they had built up in the Eternity Realm would vanish instantly.
dàn ruò shì zài cǐ zhī qián ， bǎ wǔ lǎo huì de rén quán dōu zhuā zǒu ……
但若是在此之前，把五老会的人全都抓走……
But if they could capture everyone from the Five Elders Association...
liú gěi wǔ wèi tiān zūn de zhǐ shì ruò dà yī piàn kōng dàng dàng de tǔ dì 。
留给五位天尊的只是偌大一片空荡荡的土地。
All that would be left for the Five Sages were vast expanses of empty land.
suī rán duì cháng shēng jìng zhī zhī bù duō ， dàn lǐ fán què dìng ， jiù suàn shì zuì pǔ tōng de xiū shì ， duì yú zhè wǔ wèi tiān zūn dōu shì yǒu yòng de 。
虽然对长生境知之不多，但李凡确定，就算是最普通的修士，对于这五位天尊都是有用的。
Although he knew little about the Eternity Realm, Li Fan was certain that even ordinary cultivators would find these five sages useful.
huò xǔ jiǎn shǎo yī xiē méi yǒu shén me yǐng xiǎng 。
或许减少一些没有什么影响。
Perhaps a few less wouldn't make much difference.
dàn ruò shì zì jǐ zhǎng kòng jìng nèi ， xiū shì 、 shèn zhì fán rén quán dōu wèi zhī yī kōng ……
但若是自己掌控境内，修士、甚至凡人全都为之一空……
But if he controlled the realm and all its cultivators—mortals as well...
duì tā men ér yán jué duì shì jiàn zhòng dà dǎ jī 。
对他们而言绝对是件重大打击。
It would be a significant blow to them.
“ nán bù chéng ， cǐ shì de wǔ lǎo huì zhēn de jiù yào zhè me bài le ？”
“难不成，此世的五老会真的就要这么败了？”
"Could it be that this world's Five Elders Association is about to lose?"
lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù jīn rú cǐ xiǎng dào 。
李凡心中不禁如此想道。
Li Fan couldn’t help but think so.
jiē xià lái de jǐ tiān ， zhàn shì dōu jìn xíng de hěn shùn lì 。
接下来的几天，战事都进行的很顺利。
The next few days saw the war proceed smoothly.
shèng lì de tiān píng bù duàn cháo zhe wàn xiān méng qīng xié 。
胜利的天平不断朝着万仙盟倾斜。
Victory tilted more and more in favor of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
dàn bì jìng yě shì mián yán chuán chéng le shù qiān nián de páng rán dà wù ， dāng kuài yào bèi bī rù jué jìng zhī hòu ， wǔ lǎo huì zhōng yú bào fā chū le qiáng dà de fǎn kàng lì liàng 。
但毕竟也是绵延传承了数千年的庞然大物，当快要被逼入绝境之后，五老会终于爆发出了强大的反抗力量。
But after thousands of years of legacy, when pushed to the brink, the Five Elders Association finally unleashed powerful resistance.
tiān xuán jìng de huà miàn ， hū de qiè huàn dào yī chù tiān kōng 。
天玄镜的画面，忽的切换到一处天空。
The image on the Heavenly Profound Mirror suddenly switched to a sky.
tuǒ yuán xíng de mó hú mén fēi lǐ ， yī duì xiū shì qí qí fēi chū 。
椭圆形的模糊门扉里，一队修士齐齐飞出。
A group of cultivators flew out from an oval-shaped, blurry door.
tā men xiǎn rán bú shì wàn xiān méng de rén 。
他们显然不是万仙盟的人。
They clearly weren't part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
dàn chuān yī fēng gé ， què gēn rú jīn de wǔ lǎo huì yě bìng bù xiāng tóng 。
但穿衣风格，却跟如今的五老会也并不相同。
But their attire was different from that of the current Five Elders Association.
yī fú shàng ， dū tǒng yī xiù zhe xiāng tóng de xuán ào tú àn 。
衣服上，都统一绣着相同的玄奥图案。
All their clothes bore the same intricate patterns.
zhè xiē xiū shì kàn zhe bù yuǎn chù zhěng qí huà yī de hēi yī duì liè ， liǎn shàng fēn fēn lù chū yuè yuè yù shì de xīng fèn xiào róng 。
这些修士看着不远处整齐划一的黑衣队列，脸上纷纷露出跃跃欲试的兴奋笑容。
These cultivators looked at the neat formation of black-robed figures nearby and grinned with eager excitement on their faces.
“ zhè shì …… tài shàng zōng ？”
“这是……太上宗？”
"Is this... the Supreme Sect?"
lǐ fán kàn zhe nà yǒu xiē shú xī de mén pài biāo shì ， wēi wēi zhòu méi 。
李凡看着那有些熟悉的门派标示，微微皱眉。
Li Fan, seeing a familiar sect symbol, frowned slightly.
tiān xuán jìng huà miàn zài biàn 。
天玄镜画面再变。
The image on the Heavenly Profound Mirror changed again.
yī dào dào mén fēi cì dì chū xiàn ， nà xiē zhū duō jù shuō yǐ jīng miè wáng de shàng gǔ zōng mén ， jìng rán zài cǐ shí chóng xiàn rén jiān 。
一道道门扉次第出现，那些诸多据说已经灭亡的上古宗门，竟然在此时重现人间。
Doors appeared one after another. Many ancient sects that were said to have perished long ago suddenly reappeared in the world and joined the battle.
bìng qiě jiā rù zhàn chǎng 。
并且加入战场。
Moreover, the image focused once more, capturing an unbelievable scene.
bù jǐn rú cǐ 。
不仅如此。
A graceful female cultivator dressed in a tight white outfit was seen bowing slowly toward a golden door, which seemed to be sealed shut and radiated ancient divine energy.
tiān xuán jìng huà miàn zài cì jù jiāo ， jì lù xià le yí mù bù kě sī yì de chǎng jǐng 。
天玄镜画面再次聚焦，记录下了一幕不可思议的场景。
The moment the door opened with a loud bang, a blinding golden light shot out.
zhǐ jiàn yī wèi shēn chuān bái sè jǐn shēn yī 、 shēn cái ē nuó de nǚ xiū ， bù zhī wèi yú hé chù 。
只见一位身穿白色紧身衣、身材婀娜的女修，不知位于何处。
As the light faded away, multiple figures identical to the white-robed woman appeared in the mirror.
cháo zhe qián fāng xū kōng zhōng ， yī shàn jǐn bì zhe de jīn sè 、 fàn zhe yuǎn gǔ shén shèng qì xī de dà mén ， huǎn huǎn kòu bài 。
朝着前方虚空中，一扇紧闭着的金色、泛着远古神圣气息的大门，缓缓叩拜。
Their appearances were exactly the same, differing only slightly in age and strength.
ér hòu dà mén hōng rán kāi qǐ ， tóu shè xià yī dào cì yǎn de jīn sè guāng máng 。
而后大门轰然开启，投射下一道刺眼的金色光芒。
It was as if...
guāng máng xiāo shī zhī zhōng ， chū xiàn zài jìng zhōng de ， shì shí duō wèi gēn zhè wèi bái yī nǚ xiū yī mú yī yàng de shēn yǐng 。
光芒消失之中，出现在镜中的，是十多位跟这位白衣女修一模一样的身影。
Different-aged white-robed female cultivators.
róng mào wán quán yí zhì ， zhǐ shì nián jì 、 shí lì yǒu xì wēi de chā bié 。
容貌完全一致，只是年纪、实力有细微的差别。
Without saying a word, these white-robed female cultivators rushed off toward the distance.
jiù xiàng shì ……
就像是……
"This is..."
bù tóng nián líng de bái yī nǚ xiū 。
不同年龄的白衣女修。
"Immortal Sect Armory?" Li Fan's eyes sparkled with recognition.
méi yǒu shuō yī jù fèi huà ， zhè xiē bái yī nǚ xiū men cháo zhe yuǎn fāng jí chí ér qù 。
没有说一句废话，这些白衣女修们朝着远方疾驰而去。
The information about the Immortal Sect Armory flooded his mind.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
The Immortal Sect Armory was akin to the Heavenly Profound Mirror within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. There, cultivators could freely exchange various techniques, scriptures, and treasures originating from ancient immortal sects using spiritual soul points as resources instead of contribution points.
“ xiān zōng wǔ kù ？” lǐ fán yǎn zhōng jīng máng yī shǎn 。
“仙宗武库？”李凡眼中精芒一闪。
Previously, Li Fan knew that the Immortal Sect Armory contained the true illusions of many ancient sects. The force used to create these illusions was similar to that of the Fallen Realm. In this place, Five Elders Association cultivators could explore numerous extinct ancient sects. Inside those sects, there were many images of ancient cultivators who lacked their own consciousness but had formidable abilities when in combat.
zhī qián sōu jí de guān yú xiān zōng wǔ kù de zī liào yǒng shàng xīn tóu 。
之前搜集的关于仙宗武库的资料涌上心头。
Five Elders Association cultivators could repeatedly challenge these ancient figures by expending spiritual soul points and improve their combat strength without affecting their physical bodies. Moreover, such injuries to the spirit could be healed using more spiritual soul points.
xiān zōng wǔ kù shì wàn xiān méng lèi sì yú tiān xuán jìng yì bān de cún zài 。
仙宗武库是万仙盟类似于天玄镜一般的存在。
In theory, with enough spiritual soul points, even a newly initiated mortal could become extremely powerful through repeated battles.
zài nà lǐ ， yuán yú shàng gǔ xiān zōng hào rú yān hǎi de gè zhǒng gōng fǎ 、 diǎn jí 、 zhēn bǎo ， dōu kě rèn yóu xiū shì rèn yì duì huàn 。
在那里，源于上古仙宗浩如烟海的各种功法、典籍、珍宝，都可任由修士任意兑换。
"These summoned ones are the projections of themselves left in the Immortal Sect Armory by expending spiritual soul points?"
suǒ xū zī yuán bú shì gòng xiàn dù ， ér shì shén hún diǎn 。
所需资源不是贡献度，而是神魂点。
Li Fan instantly understood the origin of these seemingly cloned cultivators.
zhī qián lǐ fán jiù zhī dào ， xiān zōng wǔ kù nèi hái cún zài zhe shàng gǔ shí qī zhū duō zōng mén de zhēn shí huàn jǐng 。
之前李凡就知道，仙宗武库内还存在着上古时期诸多宗门的真实幻景。
Clearly, his guess was correct.
chuàng zào chū zhēn shí huàn jǐng de ， shì gēn yǔn xiān jìng jí qí xiāng sì de yī zhǒng lì liàng 。 zài nà lǐ ， wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì men kě yǐ yóu lì zhū duō yǐ jīng miè jué de shàng gǔ zōng mén 。 zōng mén nèi hái cún zài zhe xǔ duō shàng gǔ xiū shì de yǐng xiàng ， tā men dà bù fèn méi yǒu zì shēn shén zhì ， zhǐ shì dān chún de qū qiào 。 dàn shí zhàn qǐ lái ， jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān wēi néng ， jī hū hé zhēn rén wú yì 。
创造出真实幻景的，是跟陨仙境极其相似的一种力量。在那里，五老会修士们可以游历诸多已经灭绝的上古宗门。宗门内还存在着许多上古修士的影像，他们大部分没有自身神智，只是单纯的躯壳。但实战起来，举手投足间威能，几乎和真人无异。
Similar scenes unfolded across the Five Elders Association.
wǔ lǎo huì xiū shì kě yǐ xiāo hào shén hún diǎn ， gēn zhè xiē shàng gǔ xiū shì bù duàn fǎn fù qiē cuō ， tí gāo zì shēn zhàn lì 。 bìng qiě zài 【 xiān zōng wǔ kù 】 nèi ， yī qiè shāng shì dōu bú huì yǐng xiǎng dào xiàn shí zhōng de shēn tǐ ， zhǐ huì duì shén hún zào chéng lüè wēi de qīng shāng 。 gèng miào de shì ， zhè zhǒng shén hún shāng shì ， yě kě yǐ tōng guò xiāo hào shén hún diǎn zhì yù 。
五老会修士可以消耗神魂点，跟这些上古修士不断反复切磋，提高自身战力。并且在【仙宗武库】内，一切伤势都不会影响到现实中的身体，只会对神魂造成略微的轻伤。更妙的是，这种神魂伤势，也可以通过消耗神魂点治愈。
As golden ancient doors projected their images, the remaining resistance forces swelled tenfold.
cóng lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng ， ruò shì shén hún diǎn zú gòu ， nǎ pà yí gè gāng gāng xiū xíng bù jiǔ de fán rén ， yě kě yǐ zài yī cháng chǎng sī shā zhōng ， biàn dé jí wéi qiáng hàn 。
从理论上来讲，若是神魂点足够，哪怕一个刚刚修行不久的凡人，也可以在一场场厮杀中，变得极为强悍。
Moreover, all these cultivators who could leave projections in the Immortal Sect Armory were seasoned veterans with extensive combat experience. Their appearance dealt significant damage to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
“ zhè xiē bèi zhào huàn ér chū de ， jiù shì tōng guò xiāo hào shén hún diǎn ， liú zài xiān zōng wǔ kù nèi de zì jǐ de tóu yǐng ？”
“这些被召唤而出的，就是通过消耗神魂点，留在仙宗武库内的自己的投影？”
And it seemed that as long as the original was not killed, they could summon their projections from the Immortal Sect Armory by expending spiritual energy after a short rest period.
lǐ fán shùn jiān xiǎng míng bái le zhè xiē wǎn rú fù zhì rén yì bān de xiū shì de lái lì 。
李凡瞬间想明白了这些宛如复制人一般的修士的来历。
This effectively allowed them to be "resurrected" infinitely.
hěn míng xiǎn ， lǐ fán de cāi cè bìng méi yǒu cuò 。
很明显，李凡的猜测并没有错。
Thus, the numerical advantage of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's black-robed cultivators was nullified.
lèi sì de chǎng jǐng ， fā shēng zài wǔ lǎo huì gè chù 。
类似的场景，发生在五老会各处。
The assault on the alliance slowed down.
suí zhe jīn sè yuǎn gǔ dà mén bù duàn tóu shè chū dào dào tóu yǐng ， wǔ lǎo huì cán cún de fǎn kàng lì liàng ， shùn jiān péng zhàng le shí duō bèi 。
随着金色远古大门不断投射出道道投影，五老会残存的反抗力量，瞬间膨胀了十多倍。
Not long after the stalemate emerged, another force joined the battle.
ér qiě ， zhè xiē néng zài xiān zōng wǔ kù liú xià tóu yǐng de xiū shì ， quán dōu shì bǎi zhàn zhī bèi 。
而且，这些能在仙宗武库留下投影的修士，全都是百战之辈。
The image in the Heavenly Profound Mirror changed abruptly.
zhàn dòu jīng yàn jí qí fēng fù ， tā men de chū chǎng ， gěi wàn xiān méng zào chéng le jí dà de sǔn shāng 。
战斗经验极其丰富，他们的出场，给万仙盟造成了极大的损伤。
It seemed that something interfered, causing a blurry display.
bìng qiě ， sì hū zhǐ yào shì běn zūn bù sǐ 。 xiū xī yī duàn shí jiān hòu ， tā men jiù kě yǐ tōng guò xiāo hào shén hún lì liàng ， chóng xīn cóng xiān zōng wǔ kù zhōng zhào huàn zì jǐ de tóu yǐng chū lái 。
并且，似乎只要是本尊不死。休息一段时间后，他们就可以通过消耗神魂力量，重新从仙宗武库中召唤自己的投影出来。
It appeared to be a city built across the sky.
jī hū xiāng dāng yú kě yǐ wú xiàn fù huó 。
几乎相当于可以无限复活。
The cultivators within were all asleep.
zhè yàng yī lái ， wàn xiān méng hēi yī xiū shì de shù liàng yōu shì yě bèi dǐ xiāo le 。
这样一来，万仙盟黑衣修士的数量优势也被抵消了。
With slight tremors, they all woke up.
xiān méng de jìn gōng yán huǎn xià lái 。
仙盟的进攻延缓下来。
They didn’t have the confusion of suddenly waking from a long sleep but instead showed anger at their dreams being disturbed.
ér jiù zài jiāng chí chū xiàn hòu bù jiǔ ， yòu yī gǔ lì liàng jiā rù le zhàn jú 。
而就在僵持出现后不久，又一股力量加入了战局。
Muttering curses, without any action, their clothes transformed into full-body liquid metal armor and flew toward the battlefield.
tiān xuán jìng de huà miàn wèi zhī yī biàn 。
天玄镜的画面为之一变。
The image on the Heavenly Profound Mirror suddenly changed, as if forcibly interrupted.
dāng sì hū shòu dào le shén me gān rǎo ， jìng zhōng xiǎn shì de huà miàn jìng rán yǒu xiē mó hú 。
当似乎受到了什么干扰，镜中显示的画面竟然有些模糊。
"Is that..."
fǎng fú shì jiàn lì zài tiān mù shàng de lián mián chéng shì 。
仿佛是建立在天幕上的连绵城市。
Li Fan was momentarily stunned. "The Blissful Paradise?"
chéng zhōng xiū shì men ， jǐn zài chén shuì zhī zhōng 。
城中修士们，尽在沉睡之中。
The Blissful Paradise was the most mysterious place in the Five Elders Association's territory.
wēi wēi zhèn chàn zhī zhōng ， xiū shì men jìn shù zhuǎn xǐng 。
微微震颤之中，修士们尽数转醒。
It was a dreamland for all cultivators, and only those who passed certain tests could enter.
méi yǒu jiǔ shuì zhī hòu tū rán xǐng lái de mí máng ， ér shì liǎn shàng quán dōu shì měi mèng bèi dǎ rǎo hòu de yùn nù 。
没有久睡之后突然醒来的迷茫，而是脸上全都是美梦被打扰后的愠怒。
Once one entered the Blissful Paradise, few returned.
zuǐ lǐ mà mà liē liē ， yě bú jiàn tā men yǒu hé dòng zuò ， shēn shàng de yī fú jiù biàn chéng le quán bāo guǒ 、 yè tài jīn shǔ yì bān de zhàn jiǎ 。
嘴里骂骂咧咧，也不见他们有何动作，身上的衣服就变成了全包裹、液态金属一般的战甲。
In that brief glimpse, Li Fan also saw many interesting things in the illusory city above, such as modern-style skyscrapers and neon lights. There were aerial roads connecting various buildings like a rainbow. And there were flying shuttles constantly traversing the city...
cháo zhe zhàn chǎng zhōng fēi dùn ér qù 。
朝着战场中飞遁而去。
"The power of Blissful Paradise almost covers the entire Yellow World. The Fifth Sage among them should be the strongest."
tiān xuán jìng de huà miàn tū rán zhuǎn huàn 。
天玄镜的画面突然转换。
"Interesting."
sì hū shì bèi pò zhōng duàn 。
似乎是被迫中断。
It looked just like the future scene of the cultivation world Li Fan had seen in his time.
“ nà lǐ shì ……”
“那里是……”
"If possible, I could explore it with a clone."
lǐ fán yǒu xiē lèng shén ：“ wú yōu lè tǔ ？”
李凡有些愣神：“无忧乐土？”
Li Fan felt that he might find something interesting from the Blissful Paradise.
wú yōu lè tǔ ， shì wǔ lǎo huì lǐng dì zhōng zuì wèi shén mì de suǒ zài 。
无忧乐土，是五老会领地中最为神秘的所在。
The addition of Blissful Paradise cultivators completely turned the tide of battle.
shì suǒ yǒu xiū shì de mèng xiǎng xiāng ， bìng qiě zhǐ yǒu tōng guò kǎo yàn zhī rén ， cái néng jìn rù qí zhōng 。
是所有修士的梦想乡，并且只有通过考验之人，才能进入其中。
Although their cultivation levels weren’t impressive, their magical artifacts were incredibly powerful. The metal armor almost absorbed all attacks and then bounced them back.
ér yí dàn qù wǎng wú yōu lè tǔ ， jiù xiǎn yǒu fǎn huí de 。
而一旦去往无忧乐土，就鲜有返回的。
Moreover, each cultivator carried nearly endless energy beams that could be deployed at will from behind.
ér gāng gāng nà jīng hóng yī piē zhōng ， lǐ fán yě zài nà zuò tiān shàng xū huàn zhī chéng zhōng ， kàn dào le xǔ duō yǒu yì si de dōng xī 。
而刚刚那惊鸿一瞥中，李凡也在那做天上虚幻之城中，看到了许多有意思的东西。
They began to bombard the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's cultivators with reckless abandon.
bǐ rú wǎn rú xiàn dài chéng shì yì bān de gāo lóu dà shà yǔ ní hóng dēng guāng 。
比如宛如现代城市一般的高楼大厦与霓虹灯光。
