Obviously, Luo FanGreat Tribulation, actuallynotbecausehepromotesslowlyandpostponesautomatically.
显然的,罗帆的大劫,却不会因为他提升缓慢而自动推迟的。As the matter stands, thatwill obviously focus on the timeaccumulationroad on realSaint, obviouslythen the non-daysuitshim.
这样一来,那一道明显将重点放在时间累积上的真圣之路,显然便不天适合他。Butregardingcultivator of road of right occupation, thissituationwas obviously different. cultivator of road of right occupationthenmusthave been continuously facilitatingby the endlesstimeaccumulationgoes forward, finallywas seized a faint traceinsignificantopportunitybyoneself, the achievementrealSaint. In such a case, thathas the infinite layertogether, mustborrow the endlesstimestackto makecultivatorbreak the boundaryachievementrealSaint the road of realSaint, thencomparedinthisPath of a Daoist Venerableis more suitablethey.
而对于正行之路的修士来说,这情况显然就不一样了。正行之路的修士本身便是要靠无尽的时光累积来不断推动自己前进,最终让自己抓住一丝丝微不足道的机会,成就真圣。在这样的情况下,那一道有着无限层,要借用无尽时光堆积来让修士打破界限成就真圣的真圣之路,便是相比于这道尊之路更为适合他们了。Understandsthese, in the Luo Fanheartsighedsecretly.
明白这些,罗帆心中却是暗自叹息。However, thissighhas not actually existedinhishearttoofor a long time, to him, the practicingenvironmentisto truly have the considerably largesubsidiarity. But, with emphasiseventuallyownWorldview, oneselftopracticing, toworld, tochaosunderstanding.
不过,这种叹息却也没有在他心中存在太长时间,对于他来说,外界的修行环境确实是有着相当大的辅助作用。但,重点终究还是自己的世界观,还是自身对修行,对天地,对混沌的认识。In such a case, how the practicingenvironment, affects, althoughhas, butactuallyalsoandis not enoughto decidehisfinalachievement.
在这样的情况下,修行环境如何,影响虽然有,但却也并不足以决定他最终的成就。Moreover, inknowingthisgroup of rune/symbolwritingcanmakehimobtainnearlyinfinitely, the after information of road of thatanothertrue understandingSaint, did hestep into the road of anothertrue understandingSaintto be indifferent. Is the presentdetermined that road of not suitableoneselfthattrue understandingSaint, actuallyalsoto exempt his choice, the will influence not be actually big.
而且,在知道这一团符文能够让他得到近乎无限的,那另一道真圣之路的信息之后,他踏入不踏入另一道真圣之路已经是无所谓了。是现在确定那一道真圣之路不适合自己,却也就是免去了他这一次的选择而已,影响其实也并不会太大。At that moment, hethentidies up the mood, startsto continue all sorts ofinformation of road of thoroughexcavationanothertrue understandingSaint.
当下,他便收拾心情,开始继续深入的挖掘另一道真圣之路的种种信息。Withhisunceasingexcavation, thatinformationregardingdevelopment of road of anothertrue understandingSaint is actually more and morethorough, is getting more and more careful.
随着他不断的挖掘,那信息对于另一道真圣之路的展现却是越来越深入,越来越细致。Comparesinsteps into the road of anothertrue understandingSainttruly, thisthorough, thiscareful, naturallyhas a bigdisparity. But, compared toLuo Fanowngoal, like this, is enough.
相比于真正踏入另一道真圣之路来说,这种深入,这种细致,自然还是有着不小的差距。但,相对于罗帆自身的目的来说,这样,却也已经是足够了。After all, nowadaysLuo Fanexperience, althoughis insufficientto dominateabove the road of realSaint, but before actuallyalsoagainnon-, generally the leveleffect of completelyroad of realSaint is not to him big. The road of experienceanothertrue understandingSaintto him, the biggestuse, gains the experienceeventually, fromanotherdirection, anotherangleverifieshimpassingregardingrealizing from experience of practicing......
毕竟,现如今罗帆本身的见识虽然不至于凌驾于真圣之路之上,但却也再非以前,一般真圣之路的层级对他来说在根本上的作用效果却是并不大的。见识另一道真圣之路对他来说,最大的用处,终究也不过是增长见识,从另一个方向,另一个角度来印证他过往对于修行的体悟而已……In such a case, obtainssoexperiences, is enough.
在这样的情况下,得到这般见识,却也已经是足够了。
The timepassesleisurely, is the millenniumspasses by.
时光悠悠流逝,不知不觉间,便已经是千年过去了。Duringthesemillenniums, Luo Fanhas stayed at homeinownImmortal Cave, is realizing from experiencethatgroup of rune/symbolwritingwholeheartedly, unearthsinformation that inthatrune/symbolwritingcontains.
这千年之间,罗帆一直是在自己洞府之中闭门不出,一心体悟着那一团符文,挖掘那符文之中所蕴含的信息。But, thatoriginallyalreadyinhistop of the headfloat, thatseventhGreat Tribulation that as ifpossiblydescendsmomentarily, unexpectedlyalsointhesemillenniumsslightlymotionless!
而,那原本已经是在他头顶悬浮着,似乎随时可能降落下来的那第七次大劫,居然也在这千年之间丝毫不动!Howinitiallywas, hownow is still!
当初是怎么样的,现在依然是怎么样!Thischange, inmoststartsto be naturally insufficientto bring to the attention of Luo Fan. After all, Great Tribulationpossiblyarrivesmomentarily, thatalsorepresentsownstrengthcompared tothatGreat Tribulationis beingenoughinspiring, will not representthatGreat Tribulationto determine that will arriveinsomemoment!
这种变化,在最开始自然不至于引起罗帆的注意。毕竟,大劫随时可能降临,那也只是代表着自己的实力相对于那大劫来说已经是足够引动而已,并不代表那大劫就会确定在某一刻降临!Displacementseveralyears, are normal.
偏移个几年时间,却也是正常的。But, thatalsomoststarts.
但,那也只是最开始而已。Severalyears of displacementisnormal, but, over a hundredyears, several hundredyears, evenover a thousandyears of displacement, thismaywhichperspectiveno matterdid not calculatefromnormally!
几年时间的偏移算是正常,但,上百年,数百年,甚至上千年的偏移,这可就不管从哪个角度来看都不算正常了!Therefore, studyingthatrune/symbolwritingover a hundredyearslater, Luo Fanthenhas tonoticethistypeto be unusual.
所以,在研究那符文上百年之后,罗帆便不得不注意到这种异常了。„What's all this about? Isfloatin the top of the head, whydoesn't arrivenow?”Thisdoubts, once for a whilethenappearsfrom the Luo Fanheart, makinghimfeel that surprisedlyis somewhat uncertain.
“这是怎么回事?都已经是悬浮在头顶了,为何现在都不降临?”这个疑惑,时不时的便是从罗帆的心底浮现出来,让他感到有些惊疑不定起来。Becauselike thissurprised, letshisthese for over a thousandyears, is actually hard the trulyheart and soulinvestmentto the research of thatgroup of rune/symbolwritingduring.
正是因为这样的惊疑,让他这上千年来,却是难以真正全心全意的投入对那一团符文的研究之中。AlthoughLuo Fantheseover a thousandyearsstays at home, but, does thisrestricted areahave the controlto exist, has the differenceeventually.罗帆虽然这上千年时间闭门不出,但,这禁地有没有主宰存在,终究还是有区别的。Perhapsthesemoststartnot to feelincultivator that inthisrestricted areasurvives, butwith the lapse of time, as the activityinthisrestricted areaincrease, regarding the change of thisrestricted area, theynaturallythengraduallyhad detected!
那些在这禁地之中生存的修士最开始或许没有感觉,但随着时间的推移,随着他们在这禁地之中的活动增加,对于这禁地的变化,他们自然便会渐渐的有所察觉!Thisdetection, makingthem the activityinthisrestricted areastartto restrain.
这种察觉,使得他们在这禁地之中的活动开始有所收敛了。Manywantedto capturethisrestricted areacultivatoralsoto stop the movement, even, the planmadesomeradicaltransformationtothathightowermainlandcultivator, cannot help butputsto be smallownmovement.
许多原本想要将夺取这个禁地的修士也停止了动作,甚至,原本打算对那高塔大陆进行某种彻底改造的修士,也不由得将自己的动作放小。After all, althoughduringLuo Fantens of millionsyearsleftthisrestricted area, abandonedthathightowermainlandprobablycompletely.
毕竟,虽说罗帆数千万年之间是离开了这禁地,更好像是完全抛弃了那高塔大陆。But, thisrestricted areathishightowermainland, isLuo Fanconsumesmanypainstaking careobviously above existence.
但,无论是这禁地还是这高塔大陆,显然都是罗帆耗费许多心血在上面的存在。Suchexistence, theyactuallydo not believe the Luo Fanrealleast bitnot to yearn, will not really care abouttheirdestiniescompletely!
这样的存在,他们却不信罗帆会真的半点不留恋,真的会完全不在意它们的命运!Hassuchscruples, theyregardingthese two'stransformationnaturally will then restrain. If nothing else, ifthistransformed the opposite partyto satisfy, thatnaturallywas anything does not have. But, if the opposite partywhenmoodis suddenly uncomfortable, looked that transformationis not satisfactory, oneselfhow could it not beondanger?
有着这样的顾忌,他们对于这两者的改造自然而然的便会有所收敛了。别的不说,若是这改造对方满意了,那自然是什么事都没有。但,若是对方忽然什么时候心情不爽,看那种改造不满意了,那自己岂不就危险了?Obviously, canpracticethisPath of a Daoist Venerablefifthcultivator, is notthattypeis willingto reposemoodthatexistences above inothercultivatorownmind.
显然的,能够修行到这道尊之路第五层的修士,都不会是那种愿意将自己的心神寄托在其他修士的心情之上的那种存在。Hasthisall sorts ofreasons, theirrestraining, cananticipate.
有着这种种缘故,他们的收敛,也就是可以预期的了。Because oftheirrestraining, thisrestricted areatheseyearswereto actually becomegentle.
因为他们的收敛,这禁地这些年却是变得平和了许多。
The conflict of eruption, the battle, actually was also then shortonce for a while.
原本时不时便爆发的冲突,争斗,却也是少了许多。
The entirerestricted areaseems likeevencomparesinthisPath of a Daoist Venerablefifthotherregionsgentle, peaceful, regarding the cultivatorattraction, actuallyinsteadwasbigger.
整个禁地看起来甚至相比于这道尊之路第五层之中其他区域更加的平和,更加的安宁,对于外界修士的吸引力,却反而是更大了。Because ofthisrestricted areaspecial characteristics, here the Daoist Venerablediscipleor the powdercultivate/repairare unable to obtainmanyadvantages, comparesinotherregions, theirstatus are actually equalities. Therefore, likes the peaceregardingthesecultivator, hereactuallybecomesthem the idealdestination that wantsto stabilizepractices.
因为这一处禁地的特质,在这里无论是道尊门下还是散修都无法获得多少优势,相比于其他区域,他们的地位却是更加的平等。所以,对于那些喜好和平的修士来说,这里却就成为了他们想要安定修行的理想去处。Howeverismillennium, herewas fainthasmanyunwrittencustomsto take shape.
不过是千年时间而已,这里隐隐间就已经是有了许多不成文的规矩成型了。Theseunwrittencustomscause the Daoist Venerablediscipleor the powdercultivate/repair, mustconstrain outside all sorts ofattitudesoneself, allbehaviorlimitsas far as possibleinlettingthisrestricted areamaintainin the gentleconditionrange.
这些不成文的规矩使得无论是道尊门下还是散修,都必须将自己在外面的种种作风压抑,一切行为都尽可能的局限于让这禁地保持平和状态的范围之中。It can be predicted that so long assuchchangecontinuesmulti-some time, then, even if no Luo Fanto exist, thisunwrittencustom, truebecomesthisrestricted areacustom, truestriking root in the hearts of the people, was acknowledgedbyallcultivator.
可以预料,这样的变化只要持续多一段时间,那么,哪怕是没有罗帆存在,这种不成文的规矩,也将真正的成为这个禁地的规矩,真正的深入人心,被所有修士承认。Arrivedat that time, herealsotruebecame a Standing AloofDaoist Venerabledisciple and powdercultivates the aloofplace beyond battlevortex.
到得那个时候,这里也就将真正的成为一处超脱道尊门下与散修之间争斗漩涡之外的超然之地了。Forms the striking contrastwiththisrestricted area, naturally was thatentirePath of a Daoist Venerablefifth outside thisrestricted area.
与这禁地形成鲜明对比的,自然便是这禁地之外的那整个道尊之路第五层了。Arrivedthis, the strength that the powdercultivatedisquitepowerful. Althoughin the number of Peakpowerhouse, the powdercultivates unable to compare the Daoist Venerabledisciple. But, in the level, the powdercultivateswill actually not comparein the Daoist Venerablediscipledifferencemany is also, during the powdercultivatesmostpowerhouse, mostpowerhouse who will not actually compare tothisDaoist Venerabledisciplemustmissonmany!
到了这一层,散修的实力已经是颇为强大。虽然在巅峰强者的数量上,散修比不得道尊门下。但,在层次上,散修却绝不会比道尊门下差上多少也即是,散修之中的最强者,却不会比起这一层的道尊门下的最强者要差上多少!Thissituation, makes the powdercultivate/repairto be insufficientto have no resistanceabilityto the Daoist Venerabledisciple.
这种情况,就使得散修不至于对道尊门下没有任何反抗能力。Causes, the numerical advantage that the powdercultivates, had the leeway of display!
使得,散修的数量优势,有了发挥的余地!Has that strongestpowderto cultivateinfrontis going against, the powder of floorcultivatesnaturallythento have the opportunity to make the strengthconvergeto be locked in a stalematewith the Daoist Venerabledisciple, nottoobigleveldisparity, naturally can also be made up.
有着那最强的散修在前面顶着,底层的散修自然便有着机会能够让力量汇合来与道尊门下相持,原本就不算太大的层次差距,自然也就能够被弥补了。Naturally, althoughmakes upmakes up, but the impossibleretrogradationto comeeventually, the steamrolltop level of lowlevel. Even ifyes, the powder of lowlevelcultivates the quantity more......
当然,弥补虽是弥补,但终究也不可能逆反过来,低层次的碾压高层次的。哪怕是,低层次的散修数量更多……Therefore, finally, inthisentirePath of a Daoist Venerablefifth, the powdercultivateswith the Daoist Venerablehangers-oneach otheris locked in a stalemate, the battleis unceasing, butcan be in the upper handfinally, actuallyeventuallyDaoist Venerabledisciple!
所以,最终,这整个道尊之路第五层之中,散修与道尊门下之间彼此相持,争斗不断,但最终占得上风的,却终究还是道尊门下!It can be said that inthisentirePath of a Daoist Venerablefifthisto then haveover60%practicingsacred placeis occupiedby the Daoist Venerabledisciple. Butremaining40%, were actually dispersedcultivatesto occupy.
可以说,这整个道尊之路第五层之中便是有着超过60%的修行圣地被道尊门下所占据。而剩下40%,却是被散修所占据。Naturally, the meaning that thistypeoccupiesis, thatpractices the custom in sacred place, favorssomeinsidecompletely!
当然,这种占据的意思是,那一处修行圣地之中的规矩,完全是倾向于某一方!For example, bypracticingsacred place that the Daoist Venerablediscipleoccupies, itscustom, thenfavors the Daoist Venerabledisciple!
比如,被道尊门下占据的修行圣地,其规矩,便是倾向于道尊门下!Daoist Venerablehanger- on canoccupy the most perfectpracticingenvironment, canmostpracticingresources! Butdispersescultivates, althoughregardingdefinitelyis unable to step into, butin is actually anything can only choose the Daoist Venerablediscipleto selectremaining!道尊门下在其中能够占据最为完美的修行环境,能够得到最多的修行资源!而散修虽然不至于说完全无法踏入其中,但在其中却是什么都只能选择道尊门下挑剩下的!Butdispersespracticingsacred place that cultivatesto occupyin turn, the customfavors the powdercultivates, becomesto the Daoist Venerabledisciplesevere.
而散修占据的修行圣地就反过来,规矩都是倾向于散修,对道尊门下变得严苛起来。
The quantity that the powdercultivatescomparesin the Daoist Venerabledisciplewantsmanyover a hundredtimes, thousandtimes.
散修的数量相比于道尊门下要多上百倍,千倍。Butfinallyis the resources that the Daoist Venerablediscipleoccupiesare instead more, what kind ofthisseeseach otherrelative strengthsufficientlyis.
而最终反而是道尊门下占据的资源更多,这足以看出彼此的实力对比是如何的了。Regardingsuchdivision, the powdercultivates the Daoist Venerablediscipleobviouslyisunsatisfied.
对于这样的划分,无论是散修还是道尊门下显然都是不满意的。Repairsregarding the powder, whyoneselfherepersonmoreactually can only so manypeoplecome the minute of thatlittlepracticingresources, but the opposite partypersonare so few, can actually divideso manyresources?
对于散修来说,凭什么自己这边的人更多的却只能够这么多人来分那么一点点修行资源,而对方人这么少,却能够分那么多的资源?Butregarding the Daoist Venerabledisciple, thatreasonwas fuller. Why, thisisPath of a Daoist Venerable that ourdivision commandersopen, isourdivision commandersspeciallyforwepracticepracticingsacred place that creates, why do your powdercultivate/repaircomesto snatchwithus?!
而对于道尊门下来说,那理由就更充分了。凭什么,这是我们师长开辟的道尊之路,是我们的师长专门为了我们修行而创造出来的修行圣地,你们这些散修凭什么来和我们抢?!Thisdifferentstandpoint, causesthemis the conflictis unceasing, the battleis unceasing.
这种不同的立场,使得他们彼此之间却是冲突不断,争斗不断。Alsoboth sides have scruplesluckilymutually, actuallyfewunderextreme methodsinthisbattle, ortheirstrengths, althoughhas the disparity, but the meddlesomefivetribulationpowerhouses, the disparitydoes not havetoforming the situation of qualitative changeeventuallygreatly. Therefore, underthisbattle, althoughboth sideswill have the loss, each otherpossiblypays the enormouspricein the battle, butactuallyfewdeceased people......
也幸好双方都还算是相互有所顾忌,在这争斗之中却很少下死手,或者说,他们彼此之间的实力虽然有着差距,但终究多事五劫强者,彼此之间的差距却没有巨大到形成质变的地步。因此,这种争斗之下,虽然双方都会有着损失,彼此都可能在争斗之中付出极大的代价,但却很少死人……Has the battle, naturallythenhas the camp, has the organization.
有着争斗,自然便有着阵营,有着组织。
The Daoist Venerabledisciplewas needless saying that theirinbornwas the samecamp. Has the fifthSenior Sistersuchpowerhouse of fifthSenior Brotherandto controlthisentirecamp, the strengths of integrationallDaoist Venerablehangers-on.道尊门下不用多说,他们天生的就是同一个阵营。有着第五师兄、第五师姐这样的强者掌控着这整个阵营,统合所有道尊门下的力量。Butdispersescultivates, inthisdoes not know that inmanytrillionyears of battle, actuallyalsograduallystudywas clever, actuallyalsounderstands , if not cooperateis actually hardto resistwith the Daoist Venerabledisciple.
而散修,在这不知多少亿万年的争斗之中,却也渐渐的学乖了,彼此之间却也明白了若是不合作却是难以与道尊门下对抗。Therefore, theyalsoformed an alliancegradually.
因此,他们也渐渐的组成了一个联盟。Repairs the alliancenamedpowder, sounds like the conventionalliance......
一个叫做散修联盟的,听起来似乎很是俗套的联盟……
The hegemon of thisalliance, is one canmostpowerhouse in thatDaoist Venerabledisciplewith the powerhouse who compares favorably with!
这个联盟的盟主,便是某一位能够与那道尊门下之中的最强者相媲美的强者!Because the battleis unceasing, the position of hegemon is also the unceasingshiftcompares the organization between common customs, canpractice successfullycultivator of fivetribulationpowerhouses is actually reason, the power and influence on theirattractions, obviouslyhas not achieved to subverttheirmentalities, canmakethembreak the commitment the situation. Therefore, thisshift, is actually the suitablenature, does not havein the common customlike that the change of eachpowerhas the bloody conflicts......
因为争斗不断,盟主的位置也是不断的转移相比于世俗之间的组织来说,能够修成五劫强者的修士却是更加的理智,权势对他们的吸引力,显然并没有达到能够颠覆他们的心态,能够让他们违反承诺的地步。所以,这种转移,却是相当的自然,并没有世俗之中那般,每一次权力的更替都有着流血冲突……On this day, the powdercultivates the hegemon of alliance, a fivetribulationpowerhousePeakfemaletowardtherestricted area that Luo Fancontrols.
这一日,散修联盟的盟主,一名五劫强者巅峰的女子向着罗帆所主宰的这一处禁地而来。
The strength of thisfemalehas been close tosixtribulationpowerhousesextremely, ifsheandLuo Fanaretake the going against the flowroutegenerally, at this timeshefeared that has been ableto inspiresixthGreat Tribulation......
这一名女子的实力已经是极为接近六劫强者,若是她与罗帆一般是走逆行路线的话,这时候她怕是已经是能够引动第六次大劫了……
The look of thisfemaleis beautiful, thiswas actually needlessto say. After all, regardingpracticing, towardmore perfectdirectionsublimationis an instinct. The look of female, trendgraduallyduringsublimationtime and time will again be naturally perfect.
这一名女子的相貌美丽非常,这却是不用多说。毕竟,对于修行来说,向着更完美的方向升华是一种本能。女子的相貌,自然会在一次又一次的升华之中渐渐的趋向完美。Even ifownperfectconditionwithotherliveshas distinguishedaesthetically, because ofperfectspecial characteristics, still the charm of acquireddifficultword......
即便是自身的完美状态与其他生灵的审美有所区别,因为本身的完美特质,也将获得难言的魅力……Butat presentthisfemale, itsperfectcondition, conforms to the aesthetic standard of lifeobviously.
而眼前这一名女子,其完美的状态,显然是符合生灵的审美观的。At least, conforming to the Innate Dao Bodyappearanceishuman formappearance the aesthetic standard of life.
至少,符合先天道体模样乃是人形模样的生灵的审美观的。
Before thisfemalearrives atthisrestricted area, opens the mouthto send greetings: „RequestsLuo FanFellow Daoistto cometo see, fallsonbelowdream, addscultivates the alliancehegemonfor the powder.”
这一名女子来到这禁地之前,开口传音:“烦请罗帆道友前来一见,在下梦落,添为散修联盟盟主。”Thissoundthenpenetratedallimpedimentsdirectly, before arriving atLuo FanImmortal Cavedirectly, spreads to hisImmortal Cavedirectly, was receivedby the ear of Luo Fan.
这声音直接便穿透了一切阻隔,直接来到了罗帆的洞府之前,直接传入他的洞府之中,被罗帆的耳朵所接收到。„Does dreamfall? Does the powdercultivate/repair the alliancehegemon?”Luo Fanrecovers, a browwrinkle, in the heartfeelssomedoubts.
“梦落?散修联盟盟主?”罗帆回过神来,眉头一皱,心中感到有些疑惑。Hecultivates the alliance to have no relationwiththispowder, perhapsinitially some contactwhenfourthwas a relation?
他与这散修联盟可没有什么联系,或许当初在第四层之时的某一次接触算是一点联系?How manyannual ago thingsbutthatrelationhas not known, how manyworldevenhehas passed throughdoes not know, nowadaysagainthatrelation? Is unlikely?
但那一点联系也已经是不知多少年以前的事情了,甚至他都已经是走过不知多少个世界了,现如今再来说那点联系?不太可能吧?At this moment, inhisheartis actually intertwiningnot to descendinownseventhGreat Tribulation, has no thoughtsto continueto delaylike this. Thereforeknits the brows, said: „Fellow Daoistpleasecome is.”
此时此刻,他心中却在纠结于自己的第七次大劫迟迟不降落,却也没有什么心思继续这样耽搁下去。于是只是皱眉,道:“道友请过来便是。”
The voicefalls, thisrestricted areaturnsslightlywells up, thenhas a channeldirect production, appearsbeforethatdreamfalls the body.
话音一落,这一处禁地微微翻涌之间,便有着一条通道直接形成,出现在那梦落身前。
The dreamfallsseesthis, the eyesflashes, has known the opposite partywas quite intrepidregarding the control of thisrestricted area, has not actually thoughtunexpectedlytothissituationintrepidly. Was missingtens of millionsyearslateroperationthisrestricted area that unexpectedly can still sohave one's wish......
梦落看到这一幕,双眼一闪,原本就已经知道对方对于这禁地的掌控力相当强悍了,却没想到居然强悍到这个地步。失踪了数千万年之后居然依然能够如此随心所欲的操纵这禁地……
