空间一阵模糊，九天微步比之瞬移，也毫不逊色，林轩出现在二十余丈开外了，那元婴大惊失色，忙小手掐诀，想要逃走，林轩已早有准备的将长戈取出，狠狠朝着下方挥落。青光一闪，书生的元婴跌跌撞撞在半空中出现。”不可能十…十…元婴脸色惨白，然而话却仅仅说到一半，他的头顶上面，青光一闪。一只古怪利爪出现，毫不客气的将元婴捞到了掌心里面。
The space blurred, and Nine Heaven Microsteps were no less impressive than teleportation. Lin Xuan appeared more than twenty meters away. Theprimordial infant (yuan xing) of the cultivator was visibly alarmed, quickly forming a hand seal to try and escape. However, Lin Xuan had already prepared for this and pulled out his long halberd, swinging it fiercely downward.
shū shēng yòu jīng yòu nù ， yuán yīng de xiǎo liǎn shàng mǎn shì yuàn dú ， dàn hěn kuài jiù bèi jiān dìng dài tì le ， hún shēn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī shēng lěng hēng què cóng páng biān chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ zěn me ， dào yǒu xiǎng zì bào me 。 wǎn le 。”
书生又惊又怒，元婴的小脸上满是怨毒，但很快就被坚定代替了，浑身灵光闪烁，一声冷哼却从旁边传入耳朵：“怎么，道友想自爆么。晚了。”
A flash of green light, and the scholar'sprimordial infant appeared in mid-air, stumbling and falling.
lín xuān zuǒ shǒu wēi tái ， shí yú dào qīng sī jī shè chū zhǐ jiān ， xùn jí ruò diàn ， fēn bié zuān rù le shū shēng de méi xīn 、 xiǎo fù ， yǐ jí shēn tǐ de gè chù yào hài lǐ miàn ， yuán yīng yǎn zhōng de guāng máng dùn shí àn dàn xià lái 。
林轩左手微抬，十余道青丝激射出指间，迅疾若电，分别钻入了书生的眉心、小腹，以及身体的各处要害里面，元婴眼中的光芒顿时黯淡下来。
"Impossible… Ten… Ten…" The scholar’s face turned pale as he tried to speak but was cut off. Above his head, a flash of green light appeared. A strange claw emerged, effortlessly scooping up theprimordial infant into its palm.
shàng cì yīn wèi yī shí dà yì ， ràng kōng xuàn hé shàng de yuán yīng táo zhī tiān tiān ， lín xuān shì hòu yù mèn bù yǐ 。 dāng rán bù kě néng zài chū xiàn chóng dǎo fù zhé de shì 。 rǎn bào ？ xiǎng yě pōu xiǎng 。
上次因为一时大意，让空眩和尚的元婴逃之天天，林轩事后郁闷不已。当然不可能再出现重蹈覆辙的事。冉爆？想也剖想。
The scholar was both shocked and angry; theresentful poison (yuan duo) look on the small face of theprimordial infant quickly turned to determination. The cultivator's body began to glow with spiritual energy as he coldly said from the side, "Do you want to self-destruct? Too late."
lín xuān shēn shǒu shàng zhāo ， nà guài shǒu jiù huà wèi yī qīng sè guāng qiú ， jiāng yuán yīng guǒ zài qí zhōng huǎn huǎn fēi guò lái le 。 luò rù zhǎng xīn yǐ hòu ， lín àn háo bù yóu yù de shī zhǎn sōu hún shén tōng 。
林轩伸手上招，那怪手就化为一青色光球，将元婴裹在其中缓缓飞过来了。落入掌心以后，林犴毫不犹豫的施展搜魂神通。
Lin Xuan raised his left hand slightly, sending a dozen strands of green silk shooting out between his fingers like lightning, piercing the scholar’s brow, abdomen, and other vital points. The light in theprimordial infant's eyes dimmed.
zhuǎn yǎn guò qù le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān shǒu yī yáng ， guāng qiú fēi xiàng zuǒ cè ， shī mó liǎn shàng lù chū kuáng xǐ zhī sè ， mó shāo huī wǔ ， jiāng qí sāi rù kǒu zhōng ， gē bēng gē bēng de luàn jué 。 zài tūn shì dà liàng de xiū shì yuán yīng yǐ hòu 。 cǐ mó yǐ yǒu tū pò zhōng qī de zhēng zhào 。
转眼过去了一盏茶的功夫，林轩手一扬，光球飞向左侧，尸魔脸上露出狂喜之色，魔筲挥舞，将其塞入口中，咯嘣咯嘣的乱嚼。在吞噬大量的修士元婴以后。此魔已有突破中期的征兆。
Previously, due to carelessness, Lin Xuan had allowed the Empty Gaze Monk'sprimordial infant to escape. He was now determined not to make that mistake again. Self-destruction? Not a chance.
xū zhī zhè zhǒng liàn shī jìn jí ， bǐ xiū shì hái yào jiān nán dé duō ， bù guò yóu yú yǒu shī yīng de yuán gù 。 lín xuān kòng zhì de zhè jù shī mó ， shì kě yǐ xiū xí tiān shī huà shēn jué 》 de ， zài jiā shàng bù shí yǒu xiū shì yuán yīng zuò wèi dà bǔ ， rú jīn yǐ kuài yào jìn jí chéng zhōng qī de guài wù 。 dāng rán ， cǐ shì jí bù dé ， cǐ kè lín xuān zhèng yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， xiāo huà tōng guò shōu hún dé dào de “ tiān zhōu luó jiā ， hēng hēng ， xiǎng bú dào shàng gǔ shí qī ， jū rán hái yǒu zhè me yī duàn yǐn mì 。” lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ ， liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū jǐ fēn chà yì 。
须知这种炼尸晋级，比修士还要艰难得多，不过由于有尸婴的缘故。林轩控制的这具尸魔，是可以修习天尸化身诀》的，再加上不时有修士元婴做为大补，如今已快要晋级成中期的怪物。当然，此事急不得，此刻林轩正以手抚额，消化通过收魂得到的“天州罗家，哼哼，想不到上古时期，居然还有这么一段隐秘。”林轩喃喃自语，脸上浮现出几分诧异。
Lin Xuan extended his hand and the strange hand transformed into a green light ball, enveloping theprimordial infant as it slowly flew over. Once in his palm, Lin Xuan immediately used his soul-searching technique.
shuō qǐ zhè shū shēng de lái lì ， hái zhēn de shì bù gǎn ràng rén yǒu fēn háo qīng shì ， zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， xiū xiān jiè shì yóu sān dà shì lì zǔ chéng dì 。 zōng mén 、 jiā zú 、 yǐ jí sàn xiū 。
说起这书生的来历，还真的是不敢让人有分毫轻视，众所周知，修仙界是由三大势力组成地。宗门、家族、以及散修。
After a moment, he raised his hand, sending the light ball to the left side. The scholar's disciples were all cultivators with extraordinary abilities.
zài zhè xiē shì lì zhī zhōng ， yǐ sàn xiū zuì ruò ， xiàng lái bèi rèn wéi shì cǎo gēn yī zú ， bù guò shù liàng yě shì zuì wèi páng dà de 。 dāng rán ， sàn xiū lǐ miàn ǒu ěr yě shé chū xiàn yī xiē gāo shǒu ， dàn jī lǜ yuǎn bù jí zōng mén jiā zú 。 ér lìng liǎng dà shì lì ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， xī shì xǔ duō xiū xiān zhě jù jí zài yì qǐ ， xíng chéng hù xiāng yī cún de guān xì ， dàn hái shì yǒu hěn dà qū bié dì 。 jiā zú ， gù míng sī yì ， shì yǐ xuè mài zuò wèi lián xì ， suǒ yǐ qí guī mó ， yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ yǔ mén pài xiāng bǐ 。 zōng mén shù liàng suī rán bù duō ， dàn cái shì xiū xiān jiè shí lì zuì qiáng de
在这些势力之中，以散修最弱，向来被认为是草根一族，不过数量也是最为庞大的。当然，散修里面偶尔也佘出现一些高手，但几率远不及宗门家族。而另两大势力，表面上看，郗是许多修仙者聚集在一起，形成互相依存的关系，但还是有很大区别地。家族，顾名思义，是以血脉做为联系，所以其规模，远远无法与门派相比。宗门数量虽然不多，但才是修仙界实力最强的
It was well known that so-called Saintly Spiritual Roots meant no bottlenecks when forming a golden core (jin dan). In other words, they could ensure successful formation of a golden core. This was already enviable; after all, only one or two out of a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators were lucky enough to have such an experience.
kě fán shì jiē yǒu lì wài ， zài shù bǎi wàn nián qián 。 céng jīng yǒu yī shén mì jiā zú ， nǎi shì tiān yún shí èr zhōu de bà zhǔ 。
可凡事皆有例外，在数百万年前。曾经有一神秘家族，乃是天云十二州的霸主。
Forming a core indicated entering the ranks of high-ranking cultivators with lifespans reaching four hundred years. There were three types of Celestial Spiritual Roots: Saintly ones, Lower-grade ones that ensured successful formation of a spiritual embryo (jing dan), and Middle-grade ones that prevented bottlenecks when advancing to Great Cultivator.
nà shí hòu yù líng zōng 、 tiān yá hǎi gé 、 lì hún gǔ 、 wàn fú zōng de shí lì suī rán wú fǎ yǔ xiàn zài xiāng bǐ ， dào yě jué bù róng xiǎo shì ， kě qī dà zōng mén jiā zài yì qǐ ， què quán dōu dé yǎng gāi jiā zú de bí xī 。 xiǎng xiǎng jiù bù kě sī yì 。 yī xiū xiān jiā zú ， jū rán néng qiáng dà dào rú cǐ dì bù 。 nán dào chēng jiā zú de xuè mài ， jìng shì nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de fán shèng me ？ dá àn bìng ， fēi rú cǐ 。 gāi jiā zú de hé xīn chéng yuán ， mǎn dǎ mǎn suàn ， yě bù guò liǎng qiān 。 jiù guī mó lái shuō ， zài tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， yě bù guò jiù yī zhōng děng jiā zú 。
那时候御灵宗、天涯海阁、历魂谷、万佛宗的实力虽然无法与现在相比，悼也绝不容小视，可七大宗门加在一起，却全都得仰该家族的鼻息。想想就不可思议。一修仙家族，居然能强大到如此地步。难道柽家族的血脉，竟是难以想象的繁盛么？答案并，非如此。该家族的核心成员，满打满算，也不过两千。就规模来说，在天云十二州，也不过就一中等家族。
Upper-grade Celestial Spiritual Roots were the most impressive; they claimed that with diligent cultivation and good fortune, there was about a one-third chance of advancing to the Separation Realm. Don't underestimate this one-third; in the mortal world, only a few Separation Realm cultivators existed.
kě ràng rén nán yǐ zhì xìn de shì ， gāi jiā zú de dì zǐ ， xiū xiān zī zhì quán bù hǎo dé lái lìng rén wú yǔ ， zài hé xīn chéng yuán zhōng ， shèng líng gēn bǐ bǐ jiē shì ， shèn zhì hái chū xiàn le bù shǎo xiān líng gēn de dì zǐ 。
可让人难以置信的是，该家族的弟子，修仙资质全部好得来令人无语，在核心成员中，圣灵根比比皆是，甚至还出现了不少仙灵根的弟子。
However, Lin Xuan had tasted the Saintly Fruit from the Moon Clan and still managed to form a core despite his ordinary spiritual root. Everyone's fortune was different, but having good roots meant a smoother path.
xiān líng gēn ， lín xuān rěn bú zhù tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo ， nà míng cí ， tā yě jǐn jǐn shì zài diǎn jí shàng jiàn guò 。 xiàn shí zhōng yǒu méi yǒu ， kě bù gǎn bǎo zhèng de 。
仙灵根，林轩忍不住舔了舔嘴角，那名词，他也仅仅是在典籍上见过。现实中有没有，可不敢保证的。
In the mysterious family, almost every core disciple was a high-ranking cultivator. The ratio of high-ranking cultivators was astonishing. In other clans or sects, one out of ten thousand low-rank cultivators might become anprimordial infant (yuan xing) cultivator, but in the Luo Family, it was five to one.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， suǒ wèi shèng líng gēn ， jiù shì jié dān de shí hòu bú huì yù jiàn píng jǐng ， huàn jù huà shuō 。 jiù shì néng gòu bǎo zhèng níng jié jīn dān chéng gōng ， zhè yǐ jīng gòu lìng rén xiàn mù ， bì jìng jié dān yě hěn bù róng yì ， shàng qiān zhù jī xiū shì ， yě jiù yǒu yī liǎng gè nà yàng de xìng yùn zhě ér yǐ 。 níng dān ， yě jiù yì wèi zhe bù 、 rù le gāo jiē xiū shì de fàn chóu ， shòu yuán gèng shì gāo dá sì bǎi nián zhī jiǔ 。 ér xiān líng gēn zé fēn wéi sān zhǒng ， shèng líng gēn yǔ qí xiāng bǐ yòu bù suàn shén me 。 xià pǐn xiān líng gēn ， néng gòu bǎo zhèng jié yīng chéng gōng 。 zhōng pǐn xiān líng gēn ， jìn jiē dà xiū shì de shí hòu bú huì yù jiàn píng jǐng 。
众所周知，所谓圣灵根，就是结丹的时候不会遇见瓶颈，换句话说。就是能够保证凝结金丹成功，这已经够令人羡慕，毕竟结丹也很不容易，上千筑基修士，也就有一两个那样的幸运者而已。凝丹，也就意味着步、入了高阶修士的范畴，寿元更是高达四百年之久。而仙灵根则分为三种，圣灵根与其相比又不算什么。下品仙灵根，能够保证结婴成功。中品仙灵根，进阶大修士的时候不会遇见瓶颈。
This meant that only one-sixth of the core disciples were low-rank cultivators; the rest were all high-ranking cultivators. Even more terrifyingly, there were several Separation Realm elders, with the Grand Elder being a late-stage Separation Realm cultivator. This family had ruled over the Twelve Cloud States for a million years, but like all things, it eventually declined.
ér shàng pǐn xiān líng gēn zuì niú ， jù shuō zhǐ yào néng gòu qín fèn kǔ xiū ， bìng qiě jī yuán bù cuò jìn jiē lí hé gè xī wàng yě yǒu sān fēn zhī yī zuǒ yòu 。 bú yào xiǎo kàn zhè sān fēn zhī yī ， fàng yǎn rén jiè ， yě cái jǐ wèi lí hé hú xiū xiān zhě 。 dāng rán ， bú shì shuō méi yǒu shèng líng hěn ， xiān líng gēn jiù bù néng jìn jiē yuán yīng 、 lí hé ， zhǐ shì shuō nà yàng lí pǔ de xiū xiān zī zhì ， bǐ qǐ qí tā rén lái ， yào jiǎn dān qīng sōng dé duō 。 bǐ rú shuō lín xuān ， suī rán zài mò yuè zú fú shí le shèng guǒ ， dàn líng gēn zī zhì yě pǔ pǔ tōng tōng ， bù yě tóng yàng jié yīng chéng gōng 。 měi gè rén jī yuán bù tóng ， dàn yōng yǒu hǎo zī zhì ， xiū xiān zhī lù yào píng tǎn dé duō 。 ér nà shén mì jiā zú ， jī hū měi gè hé xīn dì zǐ ， dōu cái lái xíng róng ， gāo jiē xiū shì de bǐ lì 。 gèng shì ràng rén chēng mù jié shé 。 zài bié de zōng mén jiā zú ， yǒu yī wàn míng dī jiē xiū shì de shì lì ， hěn kě néng huì yǒu yī wèi yuán yīng qī lǎo zǔ 。
而上品仙灵根最牛，据说只要能够勤奋苦修，并且机缘不错进阶离合硌希望也有三分之一左右。不要小看这三分之一，放眼人界，也才几位离合猢修仙者。当然，不是说没有圣灵狠，仙灵根就不能进阶元婴、离合，只是说那样离谱的修仙资质，比起其他人来，要简单轻松得多。比如说林轩，虽然在墨月族服食了圣果，但灵根资质也普普通通，不也同样结婴成功。每个人机缘不同，但拥有好资质，修仙之路要平坦得多。而那神秘家族，几乎每个核心弟子，都才来形容，高阶修士的比例。更是让人瞠目结舌。在别的宗门家族，有一万名低阶修士的势力，很可能会有一位元婴期老祖。
About 150,000 years ago, the Luo Family experienced a generation gap, though it was relative. The number ofprimordial infant (yuan xing) cultivators remained in the hundreds, but Separation Realm elders were reduced to just two.
yě jiù shì yuán yīng xiū shì yǔ dī jiē cún zài de bǐ lì 。 dà gài shì yī wàn bǐ yī ， kě zài luó jiā ， zhè ge bǐ lì dá dào le yī bǐ wǔ 。
也就是元婴修士与低阶存在的比例。大概是一万比一，可在罗家，这个比例达到了一比五。
During this period, the Seven Powers, led by the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, flourished, leading to a power struggle. Despite their victory, the Seven Powers suffered significant losses. The Luo Family's main stronghold was razed to the ground, but they never found what they sought.
zhè shì shén me gài niàn ne ， zài luó jiā de hé xīn dì zǐ zhī zhōng ， zhǐ yǒu liù fēn zhī yī shì dī jià xiū shì 。 qí yú de ， quán shì yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù 。 gèng kě pà de shì ， gāi jiā zú hái yǒu shù wèi lí hé qī lǎo zǔ ， dà zhǎng lǎo ， gèng shì lí hé hòu qī de rén wù 。 gāi jiā zú tǒng zhì tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， zhǎng dá bǎi wàn nián zhī jiǔ ， wēi míng hè hè ， rán ér cāng hǎi sāng tián o shì dào biàn qiān ， bù lùn zài yù yí gè jiè miàn ， dōu méi yǒu shén me shì lì kě yǐ zhǎng shèng bù shuāi 。
这是什么概念呢，在罗家的核心弟子之中，只有六分之一是低价修士。其余的，全是元婴期老怪物。更可怕的是，该家族还有数位离合期老祖，大长老，更是离合后期的人物。该家族统治天云十二州，长达百万年之久，威名赫赫，然而沧海桑田o世道变迁，不论在郁一个界面，都没有什么势力可以长盛不衰。
The reason for the Luo Family’s dominance lay in their exceptional genetic inheritance; they were descendants of the Heavenly Saber Bright King from the Netherworld Realm.
dà yuē yì bǎi wǔ shí wàn chē qián ” gāi jiā zú chū xiàn le qīng huáng bù jiē luò shí kè ， dāng rán shì xiāng duì de 。 zú nèi de yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， yī jiù yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō ， dàn lí hé qī lǎo zǔ ， zé zhǐ shèng xià liǎng wèi le 。
大约一百五十万车前”该家族出现了青黄不接络时刻，当然是相对的。族内的元婴期修仙者，依旧有数百之多，但离合期老祖，则只剩下两位了。
The Heavenly Saber Bright King was little known among mortal cultivators but famous in the Netherworld Realm. Although not a true immortal, his lifespan reached millions of years. His strength surpassed even the Transcendence Realm cultivators and was on par with the Moon Princess's father.
piān piān zài nà duàn shí qī ， yǐ wàn fú zōng wèi de qī dà shì lì ， què chāng shèng wú bǐ ， cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng zhī xià ， tā men zì rán bù xiǎng zài yǎng duì fāng de bí xī 。
偏偏在那段时期，以万佛宗为的七大势力，却昌盛无比，此消彼长之下，他们自然不想再仰对方的鼻息。
Why an earthly family would be connected to such a great demon ghost remained a mystery. Even for the Luo Family, it was unclear why they were descendants of the Heavenly Saber Bright King.
yú shì qī pài lián shǒu ， zài jiā shàng yī xiē bié de zōng mén jiā zú ， yǔ tiān zhōu luó jiā jí qí zhuī suí zhě zhǎn kāi dà zhàn 。
于是七派联手，再加上一些别的宗门家族，与天州罗家及其追随者展开大战。
The Seven Powers failed to find the desired treasure but understood the reason through soul-searching. No wonder Luo Family cultivators could practice Confucian techniques and still perform secret arts that shocked even ghost cultivators.
tiān dì wú guāng ， fēng yún biàn sè ， xiū xiān jiè de sī shā suī rán cóng lái méi yǒu tíng xiē guò ， dàn zhè yī cì ， què kě yòng hào jié lái xíng róng ， ruò lùn cǎn liè chéng dù ， kǒng pà zhǐ yǒu gèng jiā jiǔ yuǎn de hóng huāng shí qī 。 rén yāo liǎng zú jiǎo miè gǔ mó nà yī zhàn ， cái néng xiāng bǐ 。 tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， quán bù bèi juǎn le jìn qù ， shèn zhì shì sú de fán rén yě shòu dào bō jí ， sǐ shāng shù bǎi yì 。
天地无光，风云变色，修仙界的厮杀虽然从来没有停歇过，但这一次，却可用浩劫来形容，若论惨烈程度，恐怕只有更加久远的洪荒时期。人妖两族剿灭古魔那一战，才能相比。天云十二州，全部被卷了进去，甚至世俗的凡人也受到波及，死伤数百亿。
Driven by this, the Seven Powers did not spare the two Separation Realm elders; they were also killed in large numbers along with theprimordial infant (yuan xing) cultivators. Only a few low-rank cultivators remained. However, the Seven Powers didn’t stop there.
luó jiā suī qīng huáng bù jiē ， dàn shēn wèi tiān yún shí èr zhōu de bà zhǔ ， zì rán bú shì hǎo xiāng yǔ ， bǎi zú zhī chóng ， sǐ ér bù jiāng ， qī pài suī zuì hòu shèng lì 。 què yě yuán qì dà shāng 。 rán ér luó jiā zǒng tán suī bèi yí wèi le píng dì ， qī pài què shǐ zhōng méi yǒu zhǎo dào tā men suǒ tú móu de xī 。 luó jiā ， zài dǐng wēi shí qī ， yě bù guò liǎng qiān dì zǐ ， què néng chéng wéi tiān yún shí èr zhōu de bà zhǔ 。 yuán yīn jiù zài yú zú nèi de měi yī míng xiū shì 。 zī zhì dōu kān yǔ tiān cái xiāng bǐ 。
罗家虽青黄不接，但身为天云十二州的霸主，自然不是好相与，百足之虫，死而不僵，七派虽最后胜利。却也元气大伤。然而罗家总坛虽被夷为了平地，七派却始终没有找到他们所图谋的西。罗家，在鼎威时期，也不过两千弟子，却能成为天云十二州的霸主。原因就在于族内的每一名修士。资质都堪与天才相比。
Despite their efforts, some escaped. Initially, the Seven Powers were tense but over time, as millions of years passed, the Luo Family finally faded into history.
dàn zhè míng xiǎn shì bú zhèng cháng dì ， yí gè zōng mén jiā zú ， huò xǔ huì yǒu jǐ rén líng gēn chū zhòng ， dàn zěn me kě néng měi gè rén dōu zhè me liǎo bù qǐ 。 luó jiā kěn dìng shì yǒu shén me yǐn mì 。
但这明显是不正常地，一个宗门家族，或许会有几人灵根出众，但怎么可能每个人都这么了不起。罗家肯定是有什么隐秘。
Even the Seven Powers had forgotten about it; after all, times change. The current Seven Great Sects were not like those from before and now ruled the Twelve Cloud States. Combined, their power was no greater than the peak strength of the Luo Family.
rén dōu yǒu tān yù ， xiū xiān zhě gèng rú cǐ 。 rú guǒ néng jiē kāi zhè ge mí tuán ， hǎo chù bù yán ér yù 。
人都有贪欲，修仙者更如此。如果能揭开这个谜团，好处不言而喻。
The battle involved all states and prefectures but hit Tianzhou hardest since that was where the main base of the Luo Family was located.
kě qī pài zuì zhōng ， què bìng wèi néng gòu dé cháng suǒ yuàn ， shì shàng nǎ yǒu néng tí shēng zī zhì dì bǎo wù 。 jiù suàn yǒu ， yě gāi shì líng jiè zhī wù ， ér bù gāi zài rén jiè zhè zhòng xià wèi jiè miàn chū xiàn de 。
可七派最终，却并未能够得偿所愿，世上哪有能提升资质的宝物。就算有，也该是灵界之物，而不该在人界这种下位界面出现的。
Tianzhou was a unique existence; its area was incredibly small, even smaller than Yanzhou where the Cloud Valley was situated. One thousand of them could not match Yunzhou in size.
luó jiā xiū shì zhī suǒ yǐ tiān cái rú yún ， gāo shǒu rú yǔ ， shì yīn wèi jiā zú xuè mài chuán chéng de yuán gù 。 tā men jū rán shì yīn sī jiè tiān shā míng wáng de hòu yì 。
罗家修士之所以天才如云，高手如雨，是因为家族血脉传承的缘故。他们居然是阴司界天煞明王的后裔。
Despite its small size, Tianzhou had abundant cultivation resources with numerous spiritual lands and countless treasures. If there were any places in the mortal world that resembled the spirit realm, it would be Tianzhou.
tiān shā míng wáng ， huò xǔ hěn shǎo tǔ yǒu rén jiè xiū shì tīng shuō guò ， dàn zài yīn sī jiè ， què shì wēi míng hè hè 。 suī rán méi dào cháng shēng bù sǐ de zhēn xiān dì bù ， dàn shòu yuán yě dá dào le qiān wàn nián zhī jiǔ 。 qí shí lì ， zěn me shuō ne ， bǐ dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě dōu hái yào shèng shàng yī chóu ， yǔ xīn yuè gōng zhǔ de fù qīn yì qǔ tóng gōng ， dá dào le sàn xiān de chéng dù 。
天煞明王，或许很少土有人界修士听说过，但在阴司界，却是威名赫赫。虽然没到长生不死的真仙地步，但寿元也达到了千万年之久。其实力，怎么说呢，比渡劫期修仙者都还要胜上一筹，与新月公主的父亲异曲同工，达到了散仙的程度。
During ancient times, almost all of this state was dominated by the Luo Family; even other clans or sects were few and far between, completely dependent on them.
The space blurred, and Nine Heaven Microsteps were no less impressive than teleportation. Lin Xuan appeared more than twenty meters away. Theprimordial infant (yuan xing) of the cultivator was visibly alarmed, quickly forming a hand seal to try and escape. However, Lin Xuan had already prepared for this and pulled out his long halberd, swinging it fiercely downward.
A flash of green light, and the scholar'sprimordial infant appeared in mid-air, stumbling and falling.
"Impossible… Ten… Ten…" The scholar’s face turned pale as he tried to speak but was cut off. Above his head, a flash of green light appeared. A strange claw emerged, effortlessly scooping up theprimordial infant into its palm.
The scholar was both shocked and angry; theresentful poison (yuan duo) look on the small face of theprimordial infant quickly turned to determination. The cultivator's body began to glow with spiritual energy as he coldly said from the side, "Do you want to self-destruct? Too late."
Lin Xuan raised his left hand slightly, sending a dozen strands of green silk shooting out between his fingers like lightning, piercing the scholar’s brow, abdomen, and other vital points. The light in theprimordial infant's eyes dimmed.
Previously, due to carelessness, Lin Xuan had allowed the Empty Gaze Monk'sprimordial infant to escape. He was now determined not to make that mistake again. Self-destruction? Not a chance.
Lin Xuan extended his hand and the strange hand transformed into a green light ball, enveloping theprimordial infant as it slowly flew over. Once in his palm, Lin Xuan immediately used his soul-searching technique.
After a moment, he raised his hand, sending the light ball to the left side. The scholar's disciples were all cultivators with extraordinary abilities.
It was well known that so-called Saintly Spiritual Roots meant no bottlenecks when forming a golden core (jin dan). In other words, they could ensure successful formation of a golden core. This was already enviable; after all, only one or two out of a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators were lucky enough to have such an experience.
Forming a core indicated entering the ranks of high-ranking cultivators with lifespans reaching four hundred years. There were three types of Celestial Spiritual Roots: Saintly ones, Lower-grade ones that ensured successful formation of a spiritual embryo (jing dan), and Middle-grade ones that prevented bottlenecks when advancing to Great Cultivator.
Upper-grade Celestial Spiritual Roots were the most impressive; they claimed that with diligent cultivation and good fortune, there was about a one-third chance of advancing to the Separation Realm. Don't underestimate this one-third; in the mortal world, only a few Separation Realm cultivators existed.
However, Lin Xuan had tasted the Saintly Fruit from the Moon Clan and still managed to form a core despite his ordinary spiritual root. Everyone's fortune was different, but having good roots meant a smoother path.
In the mysterious family, almost every core disciple was a high-ranking cultivator. The ratio of high-ranking cultivators was astonishing. In other clans or sects, one out of ten thousand low-rank cultivators might become anprimordial infant (yuan xing) cultivator, but in the Luo Family, it was five to one.
This meant that only one-sixth of the core disciples were low-rank cultivators; the rest were all high-ranking cultivators. Even more terrifyingly, there were several Separation Realm elders, with the Grand Elder being a late-stage Separation Realm cultivator. This family had ruled over the Twelve Cloud States for a million years, but like all things, it eventually declined.
About 150,000 years ago, the Luo Family experienced a generation gap, though it was relative. The number ofprimordial infant (yuan xing) cultivators remained in the hundreds, but Separation Realm elders were reduced to just two.
During this period, the Seven Powers, led by the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, flourished, leading to a power struggle. Despite their victory, the Seven Powers suffered significant losses. The Luo Family's main stronghold was razed to the ground, but they never found what they sought.
The reason for the Luo Family’s dominance lay in their exceptional genetic inheritance; they were descendants of the Heavenly Saber Bright King from the Netherworld Realm.
The Heavenly Saber Bright King was little known among mortal cultivators but famous in the Netherworld Realm. Although not a true immortal, his lifespan reached millions of years. His strength surpassed even the Transcendence Realm cultivators and was on par with the Moon Princess's father.
Why an earthly family would be connected to such a great demon ghost remained a mystery. Even for the Luo Family, it was unclear why they were descendants of the Heavenly Saber Bright King.
The Seven Powers failed to find the desired treasure but understood the reason through soul-searching. No wonder Luo Family cultivators could practice Confucian techniques and still perform secret arts that shocked even ghost cultivators.
Driven by this, the Seven Powers did not spare the two Separation Realm elders; they were also killed in large numbers along with theprimordial infant (yuan xing) cultivators. Only a few low-rank cultivators remained. However, the Seven Powers didn’t stop there.
Despite their efforts, some escaped. Initially, the Seven Powers were tense but over time, as millions of years passed, the Luo Family finally faded into history.
Even the Seven Powers had forgotten about it; after all, times change. The current Seven Great Sects were not like those from before and now ruled the Twelve Cloud States. Combined, their power was no greater than the peak strength of the Luo Family.
The battle involved all states and prefectures but hit Tianzhou hardest since that was where the main base of the Luo Family was located.
Tianzhou was a unique existence; its area was incredibly small, even smaller than Yanzhou where the Cloud Valley was situated. One thousand of them could not match Yunzhou in size.
Despite its small size, Tianzhou had abundant cultivation resources with numerous spiritual lands and countless treasures. If there were any places in the mortal world that resembled the spirit realm, it would be Tianzhou.
During ancient times, almost all of this state was dominated by the Luo Family; even other clans or sects were few and far between, completely dependent on them.
