Chapter 235
Chinese line, note at 【6】? Actually there is a gap: after 【2】 there is 【6】 note (maybe they skipped indices 3-5). So note for 【2】 is at 【6】.
Translation: "The verdant island hovering in absolute void was like a mirage appearing before a desert traveler, so beautiful it was unbelievable."
This is a check line? Actually line 【6】 is a note: "Check: Keep meaning...." It's not a Chinese line to translate? The prompt says: These lines still contain untranslated Chinese. Translate each FULLY into natural English. Output EXACTLY one line per item as: 【N】
Chinese line, note at 【9】? Actually after 【7】 there is 【9】 note (maybe they skipped 8). So note for 【7】 is at 【9】.
We need to use the glossary terms; for "Life's radiance" we could translate it as "gentle and steady life light", though it's not in the glossary. However we must use the exact glossary forms: "Life Imprint" and "Tree of Life."
Thus: "The gentle, steady life light dispelled the surrounding cold and darkness, and also dispelled the pent-up despair in the expedition members' hearts. The plant at the island's core, resembling a miniature Tree of Life, emitted a comforting, familiar aura that resonated strongly with Li Qingxuan's Life Imprint."

In this deathly void where even starlight is scarce.
Chinese line, note at 【21】.
"Energy response stable, life fluctuations real… not an illusion." Yanxin Runesmith, forcing himself despite fatigue, scanned with the only remaining simple detector, his voice full of shock: "How... how is this possible? To maintain such an ecosystem in the Void..."

"Is this... a relic left by the ancestors?" Huang Rong looked at the tree and its surroundings, making a judgment. Such a means of pushing the Life Law to its extreme, capable of opening up stable space in the Void, is absolutely beyond the reach of any current civilization.
【42】
Li Qingxuan walked to the base of the Tree of Life and looked up. The crystal of his Life Imprint on his chest emitted a pleasant hum, resonating more deeply with the ancient tree. He reached out and lightly touched the energy-formed trunk.
【45】
In an instant, a vast and gentle stream of information surged into his mind!
Translation: "In an instant, a vast and gentle stream of information surged into his mind!"
【50】
It was not concrete knowledge or language, but a meaning, a legacy—about how to anchor life in the Void, how to use the Life Law against annihilation, and... a fragmentary, vague memory of this oasis's origin.
【53】
This oasis is indeed an artifact of the ancestors, those ancient beings who drifted in the Star Sea, sowing life and order. After sensing the danger of the Exile Land, they placed many Life Beacons deep in the Void. Their purpose is not only to shelter wanderers, but also, at critical moments, to serve as Anchor Points that stabilize reality and resist the Void's erosion.
【56】
And this central ancient tree is precisely the oasis's control hub, and also one of the nodes linking other Life Beacons.
【59】
The information stream also noted that to fully activate and control this oasis, one must possess Life Source Breath or recognition of its higher form.
【62】
Li Qingxuan's Life Imprint undoubtedly meets this condition.
【65】
He closed his eyes, attempting to fuse his Spiritual Power with his Life Imprint, slowly infusing it into the ancient tree.
【69】
Translation: "\"Hum—! \""
The ancient tree's light suddenly blazed! The old runes on its trunk lit up one by one, like ignited stars! The whole island trembled slightly, the invisible energy barrier around it became more solid, and even the island's edge began to slowly sprout new vines and roots, expanding outward!
【72】
At the same time, a purer, vaster life energy spread from the ancient tree, falling like sweet rain upon each team member.
【75】
"Ah..."
Translation: "\"Ah... \""
【80】
The injured teammates let out comfortable groans; their wounds began to heal at a visible speed, their expended Spiritual Power and stamina swiftly recovering. Even Li Qingxuan's stubborn annihilation energy on his shoulder, under the onslaught of this mighty life flood, melted like snow in sunlight, quickly dissipating and leaving only a faint scar.
【84】
Translation: "But within just a quarter hour, all surviving teammates' conditions returned to peak, even surpassing before!"
"This is amazing! This is practically the source of life!" an elven druid exclaimed, dropping to his knees and feeling that incredibly intimate natural power.
【87】
"With this outpost, we might..." Starblade looked at the restored Li Qingxuan, his eyes reigniting with fighting spirit.
【90】
However, Li Qingxuan's face showed little joy. Through his recent connection with the ancient tree, he not only gained control of this oasis but also received fragmented warning signals from other Life Beacon nodes.
【93】
"The situation is not optimistic." He opened his eyes, scanning the recovered teammates with a heavy tone: "According to the information I got from the ancient tree, there are many such Life Beacons in the Void, but more than half... have gone out."
【96】
"Gone out?" Huang Rong's heart tightened.
【99】
"Well, they've been eroded by annihilation energy, or... destroyed by monsters leaking from the Exile Land." Li Qingxuan pointed in a direction—the approximate location of the nearest extinguished beacon he sensed through the ancient tree network—"Moreover, the False Emperor's Boundary-breaking Legion seems to be deliberately seeking out and destroying these beacons. Our time... may be less than we imagine."
【102】
This oasis is a safe haven, but it could also become the next target of attack.
【105】
"We must quickly contact the Alliance and the Shadow Hall and inform them of the situation here." Li Qingxuan walked to the edge of the oasis, gazing at the endless darkness outside, "At the same time, we need to use this oasis to find a way back to known star fields, or... to continue our mission."
【108】
He attempted to send a weak life fluctuation signal with a specific identification code through the ancient tree node, toward the approximate directions he knew of the Lightforge Alliance and the Shadow Hall. But he had no confidence that this signal could cross the endless Void and be received.
【111】
Just as he finished sending the signal and was preparing to discuss the next steps with the team, the ancient tree's core suddenly transmitted a sudden surge of fluctuation!
【114】
It was not a response to his signal, but the ancient tree's own monitoring detected an abnormal, violent energy surge from deep in the distant Void! The source of that surge... pointed unmistakedly toward their general direction of arrival, namely the region of the Exile Land!
【117】
Through the ancient tree's vague perception, Li Qingxuan "saw" a heart‑pounding scene—
【120】
"Near the Rift Seven node, the Boundary-breaking Legion, which had fallen into chaos after the barricades self‑destructed, seems to have been forcibly unified by a stronger will! Countless warships and monsters, gone mad, no longer regard losses, and begin suicidal assaults, frantically striking at that already tottering seal."
【123】
And in the depths of that huge rift, a shadow impossible to describe in size—formed of countless twisted tentacles and frenzied eyeballs—seems to be... slowly probing out of the rift!
We need glossary: none specific. So translation: "And in the depths of that enormous rift, a shadow impossible to describe in size, composed of countless twisted tentacles and frenzied eyeballs, seemed... to be slowly probing out of the rift!"
【128】
"The False Emperor—or rather, the terrifying entity deep within the Exile Land—was utterly enraged by the deactivation of the beacons and the destruction of the barricades! They accelerated the pace of breaking the seal!"
【131】
The crisis, far from being resolved, instead surged forward in an even more ferocious form!
