lǐ fán chén jìn zài 《 bǔ tiān lù 》 de yán xí zhōng bù kě zì bá 。
李凡沉浸在《补天录》的研习中不可自拔。
Li Fan was so engrossed in his study of *Supplementing Heaven Record* that he couldn't tear himself away.
bù zhī guò qù le duō jiǔ ， zhěng gè líng mù jiè fā shēng de qīng wēi huàng dòng jiāng tā jīng xǐng 。
不知过去了多久，整个灵木界发生的轻微晃动将他惊醒。
After an indeterminate amount of time, a slight tremor in the Spirit Wood Realm woke him up.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"What is this..."
lǐ fán jiāng shì xiàn tóu xiàng líng mù jiè zhōng yāng 。
李凡将视线投向灵木界中央。
Li Fan directed his gaze towards the center of the Spirit Wood Realm.
nà kē yuán běn jiù cāng cuì tǐng bá 、 zhí chā yún xiāo de jù mù ， cǐ kè yǒu jīng rén yì xiàng xiǎn xiàn 。
那颗原本就苍翠挺拔、直插云霄的巨木，此刻有惊人异像显现。
The originally lush and towering giant tree now displayed astonishing phenomena. Its leaves moved with barely a breeze, enveloped by a hazy, luminous white light. At the top of the ancient tree, a beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the heavens.
zhī yè wú fēng wēi dòng ， lǒng zhào shàng yī céng mó hú 、 yíng rùn de bái guāng 。
枝叶无风微动，笼罩上一层模糊、莹润的白光。
This wasn't an exaggerated figure of speech; in fact, a hole had truly appeared in the sky above the Spirit Wood Realm.
gǔ mù dǐng duān ， gèng shì yǒu yī dào guāng shù chōng tiān ér qǐ ， zhí jiē bǎ tiān qióng dōu cì le gè kū lóng 。
古木顶端，更是有一道光束冲天而起，直接把天穹都刺了个窟窿。
The hole seemed to have a terrifying suction, pulling clouds around it towards itself.
bú shì shén me kuā zhāng de xiū cí ， ér shì cǐ kè líng mù jiè tiān kōng zhī zhōng ， zhēn de chū xiàn le yí gè kōng dòng 。
不是什么夸张的修辞，而是此刻灵木界天空之中，真的出现了一个空洞。
All the treemen below stopped their work and knelt down, their faces radiating genuine joy rather than fear.
kōng dòng fǎng fú yǒu zhe kě pà de xī lì ， jiāng zhōu wéi de yún céng dōu xuán juǎn zhe xī fù guò lái 。
空洞仿佛有着可怕的吸力，将周围的云层都漩卷着吸附过来。
"World ascension?"
jù mù zhī xià ， suǒ yǒu de shù rén quán dōu tíng xià le shǒu zhōng de gōng zuò ， guì dì bài dǎo 。
巨木之下，所有的树人全都停下了手中的工作，跪地拜倒。
Now that the Spirit Wood Realm was essentially half of his own, Li Fan could sense what had happened. Lin Ling's nourishing feedback, Shang Tianci’s transformation with the Heavenly Scene Gourd... most importantly, the continuous release of spiritual energy from thousands of heavenly furnaces...
liǎn shàng méi yǒu jīng huāng ， ér shì fàn zhe fā zì nèi xīn de xǐ yuè 。
脸上没有惊慌，而是泛着发自内心的喜悦。
These factors combined led to the Spirit Wood Realm finally completing its metamorphosis.
“ shì jiè shēng gé ？”
“世界升格？”
This was a rare and unique scene that even cultivation classics seldom recorded. Li Fan and everyone in the Spirit Wood Realm held their breaths, watching and contemplating.
rú jīn de líng mù jiè yǐ rán néng suàn de shàng lǐ fán de bàn gè fǎ bǎo ， shāo yī gǎn yìng ， jiù zhī dào jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me shì 。
如今的灵木界已然能算的上李凡的半个法宝，稍一感应，就知道究竟发生了什么事。
From outside the world, through the void, something seemed to be being drawn out and fed into the Spirit Wood Realm via the hole in the sky.
lín líng de zī bǔ fǎn kuì ， shāng tiān cì yòng tiān jǐng hú lú de gǎi zào 。 zuì zhòng yào de shì ， shàng qiān zūn tiān dì hóng lú rì yè bù tíng dì shì fàng líng qì ……
林灵的滋补反馈，商天赐用天景葫芦的改造。最重要的是，上千尊天地洪炉日夜不停地释放灵气……
A faint rumbling echoed across the land as if nothing had changed on the surface. However, Li Fan, as the master of the Spirit Wood Realm, could sense that its overall strength was rapidly rising.
jǐ zhǒng yīn sù xiāng hù dié jiā zhī xià ， zuì zhōng dǎo zhì le líng mù jiè zhōng yú wán chéng le tuì biàn 。
几种因素相互叠加之下，最终导致了灵木界终于完成了蜕变。
The most obvious change was to the giant tree that had created this realm. Previously, a single strike from Li Fan would have easily destroyed it. Now, every part—from roots to trunk and leaves—was becoming increasingly resilient.
cǐ nǎi shù qiān nián nán dé yī yù de qí tè chǎng jǐng ， jiù suàn xiū xiān diǎn jí zhōng yě xiǎn yǒu jì zǎi 。
此乃数千年难得一遇的奇特场景，就算修仙典籍中也鲜有记载。
By the end, even a direct hit from Li Fan wouldn't destroy its root or kill its trunk.
lǐ fán yǐ jí líng mù jiè zhōng zhòng rén ， quán dōu bǐng qì níng shén ， guān kàn 、 gǎn wù zhe 。
李凡以及灵木界中众人，全都屏气凝神，观看、感悟着。
The vortex gradually shrunk until it disappeared. The ascension of the Spirit Wood Realm finally concluded.
shì jiè zhī wài 、 xū kōng zhī zhōng ， fǎng fú yǒu shén me bèi chōu qǔ ， tōng guò tiān shàng de kōng dòng ， bèi guàn shū jìn líng mù jiè zhōng 。
世界之外、虚空之中，仿佛有什么被抽取，通过天上的空洞，被灌输进灵木界中。
Although the actual size of the realm remained unchanged, everyone who had witnessed this process felt an inexplicable sensation within them.
wēi wēi de hōng míng shēng xiǎng chè tiān dì ， biǎo miàn shàng ， líng mù jiè jǐng xiàng sì hū méi yǒu dà de biàn huà 。
微微的轰鸣声响彻天地，表面上，灵木界景象似乎没有大的变化。
The sky seemed broader and the earth wider. Even the air felt more refreshing.
dàn zuò wéi líng mù jiè zhī zhǔ ， lǐ fán què shì mǐn ruì de chá jué dào ， líng mù jiè de zhěng tǐ qiáng dù ， zài fēi sù shàng shēng 。
但作为灵木界之主，李凡却是敏锐的察觉到，灵木界的整体强度，在飞速上升。
Life was intangible but its presence could be clearly sensed.
zuì wèi míng xiǎn de ， jiù shì zào jiù le cǐ jiè de nà kē jù mù 。
最为明显的，就是造就了此界的那颗巨木。
Among all the beneficiaries, the female treeman chieftain gained the most. She broke through that threshold, matching the strength of a daoist who had achieved union with the Xuanhuang Realm.
yuán běn zhǐ yào lǐ fán chū shǒu ， biàn kě qīng yì jiāng jù mù huǐ qù 。
原本只要李凡出手，便可轻易将巨木毁去。
She no longer looked like a treeman, nearly indistinguishable from human cultivators except for her natural facial patterns.
dàn cǐ kè ， cóng gēn xū dào zhī gàn zài dào shù yè ， jù mù shàng shàng xià xià 、 měi gè bù wèi dōu zài bù duàn biàn dé gèng jiā jiān rèn 。
但此刻，从根须到枝干再到树叶，巨木上上下下、每个部位都在不断变得更加坚韧。
Wearing a green dress, she commanded all the treemen to continue their prostrations and praise Li Fan, the master of the Spirit Wood Realm, for his benevolence.
dào le zuì hòu ， shèn zhì biàn dé néng yìng kàng lǐ fán yī jī ， ér bù zhì yú gēn huǐ shù wáng 。
到了最后，甚至变得能硬抗李凡一击，而不至于根毁树亡。
Soon, Li Fan's voice floated down from above in a calm tone.
kōng dòng xuán wō zhú jiàn suō xiǎo ， zuì zhōng xiāo shī 。
空洞漩涡逐渐缩小，最终消失。
"Ascension of the Spirit Wood Realm, marking the beginning of a new life. From now on, your fate will no longer be confined to this realm..."
líng mù jiè de shēng gé yě zhōng yú jié shù 。
灵木界的升格也终于结束。
"I shall name you..."
suī rán líng mù jiè de shí jì dà xiǎo kàn shàng qù méi yǒu biàn huà ， dàn suǒ yǒu zài cǐ jiè zhōng 、 qīn yǎn mù dǔ le shì jiè shēng gé guò chéng de rén ， xīn zhōng dōu mò míng yǒng qǐ yī gǔ gǎn jué 。
虽然灵木界的实际大小看上去没有变化，但所有在此界中、亲眼目睹了世界升格过程的人，心中都莫名涌起一股感觉。
"Lin Xin!"
tiān kōng biàn dé gèng jiā liáo kuò ， dà dì biàn dé gèng jiā kuān guǎng 。
天空变得更加辽阔，大地变得更加宽广。
Lin Xin's face showed signs of excitement as he led his treeman clan in another round of prostrations and worship.
lián kōng qì dōu biàn dé gèng jiā qìn rén xīn pí 。
连空气都变得更加沁人心脾。
Shang Tianci and others also wore expressions of contemplation.
shēng jī shì bù kě jiàn zhī wù ， dàn què néng míng míng bái bái de gǎn jué dào qí cún zài 。
生机是不可见之物，但却能明明白白的感觉到其存在。
Li Fan turned his attention back to the Spirit Wood Realm itself.
zhè chǎng shēng gé zhōng ， chú le líng mù jiè běn shēn ， zuì dà de shòu yì zhě jiù yào shǔ shù rén nǚ zú zhǎng le 。
这场升格中，除了灵木界本身，最大的受益者就要属树人女族长了。
"If not for being captured by the Xuanhuang Realm, this realm's current specifications should have already met the minimum requirements for the cultivation world."
zuì zhōng tū pò le nà dào mén kǎn ， zhàn lì yǔ xuán huáng jiè hé dào xiū shì xiāng dāng 。
最终突破了那道门槛，战力与玄黄界合道修士相当。
Combining the descriptions in *Supplementing Heaven Record*, Li Fan thought to himself.
yǐ jīng jī hū tùn qù le shù rén mú yàng ， biàn dé hé rén lèi xiū shì xiāng chā wú jǐ 。
已经几乎褪去了树人模样，变得和人类修士相差无几。
"Before the path of immortality was severed, a world ascension could leave an imprint on the path. Cultivators within the world who reached certain stages would be able to ascend during the day and achieve immortality. Unfortunately..."
zhǐ shì liǎn shàng tiān rán de wén lù ， zhāng xiǎn zhe tā yuán běn de shù rén shēn fèn 。
只是脸上天然的纹路，彰显着她原本的树人身份。
"The path is now cut off, and it has become a vassal realm of Xuanhuang. Though it's been upgraded, it remains just another small world under Xuanhuang."
huàn huà chū yī shēn cuì lǜ qún shān ， shù rén nǚ zú cháng fà hào shī lìng ， mìng lìng quán tǐ shù rén jì xù bù duàn kòu bài ， gē sòng lǐ fán zhè wèi líng mù zhī zhǔ de ēn dé 。
幻化出一身翠绿裙衫，树人女族长发号施令，命令全体树人继续不断叩拜，歌颂李凡这位灵木之主的恩德。
Li Fan shook his head. "Xuanhuang Realm really does harm people!"
bù jiǔ zhī hòu ， lǐ fán dàn rán de shēng yīn zì tiān shàng chuán lái 。
不久之后，李凡淡然的声音自天上传来。
"But speaking of which, if the Spirit Wood Realm can still undergo an ascension, could the Xuanhuang Realm do so as well?"
“ líng mù shēng gé ， rǔ shǐ xīn shēng 。 zì cǐ zhī hòu ， rǔ zhī mìng yùn yǐ bù zài jú xiàn yú cǐ yī jiè ……”
“灵木升格，汝始新生。自此之后，汝之命运已不再局限于此一界……”
After much contemplation, Li Fan concluded: "Theoretically, the Xuanhuang Realm still has a chance for ascension."
“ jiù cì rǔ míng ……”
“就赐汝名……”
"Which means... it would transform into the Immortal World!" His eyes sparkled.
“ lín xīn ba ！”
“林新吧！”
"However, the gap between the cultivation world and the immortal world is too vast. Even with the Xuanhuang Realm having devoured countless cultivation worlds, its territory has only expanded slightly. It's far from meeting the requirements to ascend to the immortal realm."
lín xīn miàn lù jī dòng zhī sè ， shuài lǐng zhe shù rén zú qún zài dù kòu shǒu guì bài 。
林新面露激动之色，率领着树人族群再度叩首跪拜。
"Perhaps..."
ér shāng tiān cì 、 tiān yáng děng rén ， yě shì miàn lù gǎn kǎi zhī sè 。
而商天赐、天阳等人，也是面露感慨之色。
"With the current Xuanhuang Realm being a hundred times larger than before, there might be a chance for ascension into the immortal realm."
fēn fù zhòng rén jì xù zhì zào 【 tiān dì hóng lú 】， lǐ fán de zhù yì lì zhuǎn yí dào le líng mù jiè běn shēn shàng miàn 。
吩咐众人继续制造【天地洪炉】，李凡的注意力转移到了灵木界本身上面。
"But even then, it may not deserve the title of [Immortal World]. Describing it as an [Immortal Domain] would be more appropriate."
“ qí shí ， rú guǒ bú shì yǐ jīng bèi xuán huáng jiè bǔ huò de huà ， yǐ mù qián líng mù jiè de guī gé děng jí lái kàn ， yīng gāi yǐ jīng néng dá dào xiū xiān jiè de zuì dī biāo zhǔn yāo qiú le 。”
“其实，如果不是已经被玄黄界捕获的话，以目前灵木界的规格等级来看，应该已经能达到修仙界的最低标准要求了。”
Li Fan mused.
jié hé bǔ tiān lù zhōng ， duì yú shì jiè de miáo shù ， lǐ fán àn zì sī cǔn dào 。
结合补天录中，对于世界的描述，李凡暗自思忖道。
It should be noted that all this was Li Fan's conjecture based on snippets from *Supplementing Heaven Record* regarding the description of the Immortal World.
“ xiān lù shàng wèi duàn jué zhī qián ， gāng gāng de shì jiè shēng gé biàn kě zài shēng xiān tōng dào zhōng liú xià yìn jì 。 shì jiè zhōng de xiū shì xiū wèi dá dào yí dìng jìng jiè ， biàn kě bái rì fēi shēng ， yǔ huà dēng xiān 。 kě xī ……”
“仙路尚未断绝之前，刚刚的世界升格便可在升仙通道中留下印记。世界中的修士修为达到一定境界，便可白日飞升，羽化登仙。可惜……”
As to the truth...
“ xiān lù jì duàn ， yòu lún wèi xuán huáng jiè fù yōng 。 shuō shì shēng gé le ， qí shí yě réng rán shì xuán huáng jiè fù shǔ xiǎo shì jiè bà le 。”
“仙路既断，又沦为玄黄界附庸。说是升格了，其实也仍然是玄黄界附属小世界罢了。”
Even Tianyi, the author of *Supplementing Heaven Record*, had never seen the Immortal World with his own eyes.
lǐ fán wēi wēi yáo tóu ：“ xuán huáng jiè zhēn shì hài rén bù qiǎn a ！”
李凡微微摇头：“玄黄界真是害人不浅啊！”
Verifying it would be impossible without evidence. However, according to Li Fan's understanding of Tianyi, this person was extremely meticulous in his studies. He wouldn't casually write such speculations unless they were backed by substantial evidence.
“ bù guò ， huà yòu shuō huí lái ， jì rán líng mù jiè yī jiù kě yǐ wán chéng shì jiè shēng gé 。 nà me xuán huáng jiè xíng bù xíng ne ？”
“不过，话又说回来，既然灵木界依旧可以完成世界升格。那么玄黄界行不行呢？”
"Perhaps the Venerable of Heavenly Law could have some insights into the secrets before the path of immortality was severed."
lǐ fán zhòu méi sī suǒ le xǔ jiǔ ， zuì zhōng dé chū le yí gè jié lùn ：“ cóng lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng ， xuán huáng jiè réng rán shì yǒu shēng gé de kě néng de 。”
李凡皱眉思索了许久，最终得出了一个结论：“从理论上来讲，玄黄界仍然是有升格的可能的。”
This world ascension gave Li Fan a bit more inspiration regarding the essence of the world's operation and the ultimate cultivation method suited to him.
“ jí shì …… shēng huá wèi xiān jiè ！” lǐ fán mù lù jīng guāng 。
“即是……升华为仙界！”李凡目露精光。
Li Fan, who never acted without gain in mind, felt that only *Sitting Immortal Art* derived from Sitting Mountain Technique truly suited him.
“ zhǐ bù guò ， xiū xiān jiè gēn xiān jiè zhī jiān de kuà dù shí zài tài dà 。 jí biàn rú jīn xuán huáng jiè yǐ jīng bù zhī dào tūn shì le duō shǎo xiū xiān jiè ， yě zhǐ shì jiāng zì jǐ de dì pán kuò dà le xiē 。 hái yuǎn dá bú dào jìn shēng xiān jiè de yāo qiú 。”
“只不过，修仙界跟仙界之间的跨度实在太大。即便如今玄黄界已经不知道吞噬了多少修仙界，也只是将自己的地盘扩大了些。还远达不到晋升仙界的要求。”
However, at his current level, he needed to face formidable elders like Tianyi, Ruo Mu, and the Stone Plate Senior. Simply cultivating a technique was no longer enough.
“ huò xǔ ……”
“或许……”
With his fundamental cultivation method already lagging behind others, how could he compete?
“ zài yǒu rú jīn de xuán huáng jiè bǎi bèi zhī dà ， fāng cái yǒu yī sī jìn shēng xiān jiè de kě néng 。”
“再有如今的玄黄界百倍之大，方才有一丝晋升仙界的可能。”
Tianyi's guidance resurfaced in Li Fan’s mind.
“ bù guò jiù suàn nà shí hòu ， huò xǔ yě pèi bù shàng 【 xiān jiè 】 yī cí 。 yòng 【 xiān yù 】 lái xíng róng huò xǔ gèng qià dàng diǎn 。”
“不过就算那时候，或许也配不上【仙界】一词。用【仙域】来形容或许更恰当点。”
"Remember, techniques are secondary. What truly matters is contemplating theoperation of the Heavenly Dao and the essence of the world."
lǐ fán bù yóu xiá xiǎng dào 。
李凡不由遐想道。
"No matter how powerful a technique may be, it ultimately belongs to someone else. Only one that truly suits you is the perfect technique."
xū yào shēn míng de yì diǎn shì ， yǐ shàng quán dōu shì lǐ fán gēn jù 【 bǔ tiān lù 】 zhōng tí jí de ， duì yú 【 xiān jiè 】 miáo shù de zhī yán piàn yǔ de zǒng jié ， ér chǎn shēng de mǒu zhǒng cāi xiǎng 。
需要申明的一点是，以上全都是李凡根据【补天录】中提及的，对于【仙界】描述的只言片语的总结，而产生的某种猜想。
Li Fan's eyes sparkled as he gazed into the distance.
zhì yú shì shí jiū jìng rú hé ……
至于事实究竟如何……
*Supplementing Heaven Record*, *Sitting Immortal Art*, world ascension...
jiù lián bǔ tiān lù de zuò zhě ， tiān yī dōu méi yǒu qīn yǎn jiàn dào guò xiān jiè 。
就连补天录的作者，天医都没有亲眼见到过仙界。
A storm of thoughts and experiences from his past swept through his mind. After being refined like molten metal, it exploded!
xiǎng yào zhèng shí jiù běn wú wú cóng tán qǐ le 。
想要证实就本无无从谈起了。
In Li Fan’s mind, three words crystallized:
bù guò gēn jù lǐ fán duì tiān yī de liǎo jiě ， cǐ rén zài zhì xué fāng miàn shí fēn yán jǐn 。 rú guǒ zhǐ shì dān chún de cāi xiǎng ， ér méi yǒu shí zhì xìng de zhèng jù zhī chēng ， tā shì bú huì qīng yì xiě zài zì jǐ shū shàng de 。
不过根据李凡对天医的了解，此人在治学方面十分严谨。如果只是单纯的猜想，而没有实质性的证据支撑，他是不会轻易写在自己书上的。
*Sitting Heavenly Art!*
“ tiān fǎ jiè zūn zhě dài tiān zhí fǎ ， huò xǔ néng zhǎng wò yī xiē xiān lù wèi jué zhī qián de yǐn mì yě shuō bù dìng 。”
“天法界尊者代天执法，或许能掌握一些仙路未绝之前的隐秘也说不定。”
(End of Chapter)
Li Fan was so engrossed in his study of *Supplementing Heaven Record* that he couldn't tear himself away.
After an indeterminate amount of time, a slight tremor in the Spirit Wood Realm woke him up.
"What is this..."
