yuán běn luó yān zhōu zhè xiē xiū shì nèi xīn shēn chù ， jiù yǒu bù mǎn 、 jué wàng de qíng xù jī yā 。
原本罗烟州这些修士内心深处，就有不满、绝望的情绪积压。
Originally, the cultivators of Luo Yan Zhou harbored dissatisfaction and despair deep within their hearts.
cǐ kè shòu dào lǐ fán kè yì yòu dǎo ， gèng shì rú tóng jí jiāng pēn fā de huǒ shān yī yàng 、 suí shí kě néng hōng rán bào liè kāi lái 。
此刻受到李凡刻意诱导，更是如同即将喷发的火山一样、随时可能轰然爆裂开来。
At this moment, influenced by Li Fan's deliberateinduce, they felt like a volcano about to erupt, ready to burst at any second.
ér zài zhè ge shí hòu ， lǐ fán yòu gěi le tā men yí gè xuān xiè kǒu 、 yí gè xī wàng 。
而在这个时候，李凡又给了他们一个宣泄口、一个希望。
And just as these feelings were intensifying, Li Fan provided them with an outlet—a glimmer of hope. An unparalleled secret technique that could grant them power without the need for cultivation!
yí gè jí biàn bù yòng xiū xíng ， yě chè dǐ jiāng nà xiē gāo gāo zài shàng de dà zú zǐ dì yā zài shēn xià de wú shàng mì fǎ ！
一个即便不用修行，也彻底将那些高高在上的大族子弟压在身下的无上秘法！
"Beyond all worlds, in the boundless void, there is a True Immortal of Supreme Compassion, witnessing all beings' suffering."
“ zhū jiè zhī wài ， máng máng xū kōng zhī zhōng ， yǒu wú shàng hóng chén cí bēi zhēn xiān ， guān zhòng shēng jiē kǔ 。”
“诸界之外，茫茫虚空之中，有无上红尘慈悲真仙，观众生皆苦。”
"Though trapped in hell, suppressing countless gods and demons, his heart still remains with the mortal world."
“ suī shēn chù liàn yù ， zhèn yā wú jìn shén mó 。 què réng rán xīn xì cāng shēng 。”
“虽身处炼狱，镇压无尽神魔。却仍然心系苍生。”
"Therefore, he bestowed this secret technique to ensure equality among all, giving everyone an opportunity to fight for their rights..."
“ gù ér jiàng xià mì fǎ ， shǐ de rén rén píng děng 、 jiē yǒu fèn lì yī bó de jī huì ……”
“故而降下秘法，使得人人平等、皆有奋力一搏的机会……”
Whispering these words, the mysterious veil of the [Divine Presence] technique was lifted before the eyes of the cultivators.
nán nán dī yǔ shēng zhōng ，【 shén lín shēn 】 mì fǎ de shén mì miàn shā ， zài zhòng xiū shì miàn qián jiē kāi 。
喃喃低语声中，【神临身】秘法的神秘面纱，在众修士面前揭开。
With mixed feelings of doubt and belief, some tried it out. After a period of cultivation, they indeed summoned divine or demonic avatars that could rival those with an Infant Core or Transcendent Soul!
zhòng xiū jiāng xìn jiāng yí ， dàn yǒu xiē rén bào zhe shì shì kàn 、 fǎn zhèng yě bù chī kuī de xiǎng fǎ ， xiū xíng yī duàn shí jiān hòu 。
众修将信将疑，但有些人抱着试试看、反正也不吃亏的想法，修行一段时间后。
No matter how unbelievable, the reality was there—such a leap in power within moments was too tempting for most to resist.
jū rán zhēn de zhào huàn chū le ， néng gòu gēn yuán yīng 、 huà shén xiū shì bǐ jiān de shén mó huà shēn ！
居然真的召唤出了，能够跟元婴、化神修士比肩的神魔化身！
Even if some suspected this might be a trap, they still willingly swallowed the poison. In their eyes, possessing such strength would allow them to do many things they had long desired but could not achieve.
jiù suàn zài zěn me fěi yí suǒ sī ， shì shí bǎi zài miàn qián 。
就算再怎么匪夷所思，事实摆在面前。
But what they didn't know and couldn't foresee was...
zhǎ yǎn jiù kě yǐ shí xiàn zhī qián bì shēng dōu kě néng wú fǎ dá dào de shí lì fēi yuè ， zhè zhǒng yòu huò ， yòu yǒu jǐ rén kě yǐ dǐ dǎng 。
眨眼就可以实现之前毕生都可能无法达到的实力飞跃，这种诱惑，又有几人可以抵挡。
Once they practiced Divine Presence and summoned divine or demonic avatars, their thoughts were no longer their own.
jí biàn yǒu nà me yī xiē rén ， zhī dào zhè kě néng shì mǒu zhǒng xiàn jǐng 。
即便有那么一些人，知道这可能是某种陷阱。
In Li Fan's subtle guidance, these once ambitious cultivators of Luo Yan Zhou temporarily abandoned their goals. They quietly left Luo Yan Zhou for distant regions where they might never have thought to go before.
dàn tā men réng rán gān zhī rú yí ， yì rán jué rán de tūn fú xià zhè kē dú yào 。
但他们仍然甘之如饴，毅然决然的吞服下这颗毒药。
It seemed like something was waiting for them there.
yīn wèi zài tā men kàn lái ， zhǎng wò le qiáng dà de shí lì ， jiù kě yǐ zuò xǔ duō yǐ qián xiǎng zuò ér bù néng zuò de shì qíng le 。
因为在他们看来，掌握了强大的实力，就可以做许多以前想做而不能做的事情了。
The transmission master arrived in Luo Yan Zhou, and the vigilance reached its peak.
dàn tā men bù zhī dào 、 yě gēn běn wú fǎ yù liào dào de shì ……
但他们不知道、也根本无法预料到的是……
However, following his instruction to avoid disturbing the populace and maintain a low profile, all defensive measures were targeted. Thus, Luo Yan Zhou wasn't completely sealed off, and their departure met no resistance.
yí dàn xiū xíng shén lín shēn 、 zhào huàn chū shén mó fēn shēn zhī hòu ， tā men de suǒ sī suǒ xiǎng 、 jiù gēn běn yóu bù dé tā men zì jǐ le 。
一旦修行神临身、召唤出神魔分身之后，他们的所思所想、就根本由不得他们自己了。
Although so many cultivators leaving within such a short time was suspicious, it would have alarmed the Immortal Alliance of Luo Yan Zhou under normal circumstances.
zài lǐ fán de àn shì 、 yǐn dǎo xià ， zhè xiē yuán běn yǒu zhe gè zì mù biāo de luó yān zhōu dà hǎo xiū shì men ， quán dōu zàn shí jiāng zì jǐ de xīn yuàn pāo què nǎo hòu 。
在李凡的暗示、引导下，这些原本有着各自目标的罗烟州大好修士们，全都暂时将自己的心愿抛却脑后。
But with the transmission master present,
qiǎo rán chū le luó yān zhōu ， qián wǎng le zhī qián huò xǔ yǒng yuǎn bú huì yǒu xiǎng fǎ qù tà zú de gè gè piān yuǎn zhōu yù 。
悄然出了罗烟州，前往了之前或许永远不会有想法去踏足的各个偏远州域。
What could be more important than carefully entertaining this great figure?
sì hū zài nà lǐ yǒu shén me zài děng dài zhe tā men shì dé 。
似乎在那里有什么在等待着他们似得。
If they failed to do so, the transmission master's anger might bring down even the Supreme Immortal. The decades-long efforts of Luo Yan Zhou would vanish in an instant.
chuán fǎ zhě lì lín luó yān zhōu ， jiè bèi dá dào zuì dà 。
传法者莅临罗烟州，戒备达到最大。
This was a risk they couldn't afford.
dàn zài nà wèi chuán fǎ zhě bú yào guò fèn rǎo mín 、 bǎo chí dī diào de zhǐ shì xià ， suǒ yǒu de fáng yù cuò shī dōu shì yǒu zhēn duì xìng de 。
但在那位传法者不要过分扰民、保持低调的指示下，所有的防御措施都是有针对性的。
So, accommodating the transmission master became their top priority.
yīn ér luó yān zhōu bìng méi yǒu bèi wán quán fēng suǒ ， zhè xiē xiū shì de lí kāi yě bìng wèi shòu dào rèn hé zǔ lán 。
因而罗烟州并没有被完全封锁，这些修士的离开也并未受到任何阻拦。
Thus, the investigation and handling of these cultivators' large-scale departure were temporarily put on hold.
suī rán ， rú cǐ duǎn de shí jiān nèi yǒu zhè me duō de xiū shì yī qí lí kāi ， dí què yǒu diǎn qī qiāo 。
虽然，如此短的时间内有这么多的修士一齐离开，的确有点蹊跷。
Only after all had quietly dispersed did the transmission master leave, destroying some documents under the guise of protecting his whereabouts.
zài píng cháng jué duì huì yǐn qǐ luó yān zhōu xiān méng zǔ zhī de jǐng jué 。
在平常绝对会引起罗烟州仙盟组织的警觉。
When Luo Yan Zhou returned to normal, the cultivators found no anomalies. It seemed nothing had changed from their usual state.
dàn cǐ kè ， chuán fǎ zhě zài cǐ 。
但此刻，传法者在此。
As the Immortal Alliance of Luo Yan Zhou began to envision a brighter future with the transmission master's favor, they didn't realize that an impending catastrophe was already unfolding.
hái yǒu shén me néng bǐ xiǎo xīn zhāo dài hǎo zhè wèi dà rén wù gèng zhòng yào ne ？
还有什么能比小心招待好这位大人物更重要呢？
"It can begin."
ruò shì zhāo dài bù zhōu ， zhè wèi chuán fǎ zhě yí nù zhī xià guài zuì xià lái ， kǒng pà jiù lián jí chéng xiān zūn yě bǎo bú zhù tā men 、 zhǐ néng duàn wěi qiú shēng 。
若是招待不周，这位传法者一怒之下怪罪下来，恐怕就连极成仙尊也保不住他们、只能断尾求生。
Thirty days later, the cultivators who spread out from Luo Yan Zhou after some effort increased the number of those influenced by the deceptive ones significantly.
luó yān zhōu shù bǎi nián de jīng yíng ， yě yào shùn jiān huī fēi yān miè 。
罗烟州数百年的经营，也要瞬间灰飞烟灭。
Mò Rúbīn felt it was about right and contacted Li Fan through his divine or demonic avatar. Li Fan looked at the map before him, showing all the regions of the Immortal Alliance, along with countless red dots marking their locations. He smiled faintly.
zhè zhǒng hòu guǒ ， tā men gēn běn wú fǎ chéng shòu 。
这种后果，他们根本无法承受。
The dark realm in his mind cleared instantly as if by magic. All the gods and demons vanished, leaving a clear and sunny space.
suǒ yǐ ， zhāo dài hǎo chuán fǎ zhě ， xiàn zài yā dǎo luó yān zhōu nèi qí tā yī qiè shì wù 。
所以，招待好传法者，现在压倒罗烟州内其他一切事物。
At this moment, countless ancient gods and demons created by Li Fan descended into the Xuanhuang Realm!
yīn cǐ ， zhè xiē xiū shì de dà guī mó lí qù de diào chá 、 chǔ lǐ ， zàn shí jiù bèi gē zhì le xià lái 。
因此，这些修士的大规模离去的调查、处理，暂时就被搁置了下来。
The cultivators who practiced Divine Presence had lost their ability to think. They were mere puppets of powerful divine or demonic beings, acting according to Li Fan's will.
děng dào tā men yǐ jīng quán dōu qiǎo rán wán zhěng le zhuǎn yí 、 sàn bō ， yǐ jīng wán gòu le de chuán fǎ zhě zhè cái shī shī rán lí qù 。
等到他们已经全都悄然完整了转移、散播，已经玩够了的传法者这才施施然离去。
One after another, these divine or demonic beings attacked the Immortal Alliance's celestial cities.
lín xíng zhī jì ， yī qún hēi yī xiū shì hái yǐ yào yán gé bǎo hù chuán fǎ zhě xíng zōng 、 jī mì wèi yóu ， xiāo huǐ le yī bù fèn zī liào 。
临行之际，一群黑衣修士还以要严格保护传法者行踪、机密为由，销毁了一部分资料。
Even though the rotation of celestial city defenses was now every three months, they were useless against Li Fan. The gods and demons easily bypassed the defensive arrays as if they didn't exist, entering the celestial cities.
děng dào jī fēi gǒu tiào de luó yān zhōu yī qiè huī fù zhèng cháng zhī hòu ， luó yān zhōu xiū shì men yī fān jiǎn chá zhī xià ， sì hū bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn shén me bù tuǒ 。
等到鸡飞狗跳的罗烟州一切恢复正常之后，罗烟州修士们一番检查之下，似乎并没有发现什么不妥。
Compared to the inland regions of the Five Elders' Council, the celestial cities of the Immortal Alliance had long enjoyed peace. Even in a conflict between the Five Elders' Council and the Immortal Alliance, it was limited to border regions, leaving most cultivators only glimpses through the Celestial Xuan Mirror.
gēn wǎng rì de luó yān zhōu bìng méi yǒu shén me liǎng yàng 。
跟往日的罗烟州并没有什么两样。
They never imagined they would be attacked!
chóng xīn zǒu xiàng zhèng guǐ de luó yān zhōu xiān méng xiū shì men ， yǐ jīng kāi shǐ chàng xiǎng zhe ， dé dào le chuán fǎ zhě qīng lài de tā men ， rì hòu jiāng huì rú hé fēi huáng téng dá 、 gèng jìn yí bù le 。
重新走向正轨的罗烟州仙盟修士们，已经开始畅想着，得到了传法者青睐的他们，日后将会如何飞黄腾达、更进一步了。
The moment the gods and demons broke through defenses and entered the celestial cities, most of the Immortal Alliance's cultivators chose to flee rather than face them head-on.
rán ér ， tā men què bù zhī dào ， yī cháng kě bù de hào jié què yǐ jīng zài bù jīng yì jiān zì tā men shǒu zhōng liú chū 。
然而，他们却不知道，一场可怖的浩劫却已经在不经意间自他们手中流出。
"Your Immortal Alliance is not mine."
“ kě yǐ kāi shǐ le 。”
“可以开始了。”
This was the thought in the minds of almost all fleeing cultivators. Only a few with lingeringpassionate and martial artists from the Training Hall responded, facing the myriad gods and demons.
yòu shì sān shí tiān hòu ， zì luó yān zhōu kuò sàn kāi lái de xiū shì men ， jīng guò yī duàn shí jiān de nǔ lì ， yòu jiāng bèi gǔ huò xiū shì de shù liàng shàng shēng le yí gè shù liàng jí 。
又是三十天后，自罗烟州扩散开来的修士们，经过一段时间的努力，又将被蛊惑修士的数量上升了一个数量级。
But behind these divine or demonic beings were Li Fan's manipulations. Although he couldn't perfectly control each one due to the division of his consciousness, the vast group of gods and demons formed by merging many cultivators' spiritual essence easily crushed their resistance.
jué de yǐ jīng chà bu duō le de mò rú bīn ， cǐ shí tōng guò shén mó fēn shēn ， lián xì shàng le lǐ fán 。
觉得已经差不多了的墨儒斌，此时通过神魔分身，联系上了李凡。
After all,
ér lǐ fán zé shì kàn zhe zài zì jǐ miàn qián de 、 zhěng gè wàn xiān méng gè zhōu yù de dì tú 。
而李凡则是看着在自己面前的、整个万仙盟各州域的地图。
Li Fan wasn't fighting alone at this moment; he was controlling the thoughts and wills of tens of thousands of cultivators. Combined with his superior combat awareness, the general protection of the Immortal Alliance quickly crumbled.
yǐ jí dì tú shàng mì mì má má de wú shù hóng diǎn ， wēi wēi yī xiào 。
以及地图上密密麻麻的无数红点，微微一笑。
Knowing about the Immortal Vastness, Li Fan chose not to kill but instead split into one divine or demonic being after another, forcefully entering the minds of those who had lost their resistance.
shí hǎi de yīn sēn guǐ yù ， shà shí jiān wèi zhī yī kōng 。
识海的阴森鬼蜮，霎时间为之一空。
These bodies became the nourishment for practicing Divine Presence.
suǒ yǒu de mó shén quán dōu shī qù le zōng yǐng ， biàn dé kòng dàng 、 yáng guāng qǐ lái 。
所有的魔神全都失去了踪影，变得空荡、阳光起来。
After some time, these bodies without autonomy would involuntarily summon more divine avatars, continuing the cycle of war and division.
ér zài zhè yī kè ， wú shù bèi lǐ fán huàn xiǎng 、 niē zào chū lái de shàng gǔ shén mó ， jiàng lín xuán huáng jiè ！
而在这一刻，无数被李凡幻想、捏造出来的上古神魔，降临玄黄界！
In less than a day, the number of divine or demonic avatars controlled by Li Fan reached an unimaginable level. (End of Chapter)
Originally, the cultivators of Luo Yan Zhou harbored dissatisfaction and despair deep within their hearts.
At this moment, influenced by Li Fan's deliberateinduce, they felt like a volcano about to erupt, ready to burst at any second.
And just as these feelings were intensifying, Li Fan provided them with an outlet—a glimmer of hope. An unparalleled secret technique that could grant them power without the need for cultivation!
