kě lián zhè míng xiū shì zhì sǐ dōu hái bù zhī dào zěn me huí shì 。 ǎi pàng lǎo zhě de qì zhì quán biàn le 。
可怜这名修士至死都还不知道怎么回事。矮胖老者的气质全变了。
The unfortunate cultivator remained confused until his last breath. The short, plump elder’s demeanor had completely changed.
hào tiān guǐ dì ， jiǎo huá wú bǐ ， suī rán duó shě lín xuān ， tā yǒu shí zú bǎ liào ， dàn zài cǐ zhī qián ， hái shì liú xià le xiē xǔ hòu shǒu 。 tā xiū liàn yǒu dì èr yuán shén de shén tōng 。 bìng zài bù zhī bù jué jiān ， yǐ jiāng zhè lǎo zhě duó shě 。
昊天鬼帝，狡猾无比，虽然夺舍林轩，他有十足把撂，但在此之前，还是留下了些许后手。他修炼有第二元神的神通。并在不知不觉间，已将这老者夺舍。
昊天鬼帝 was incredibly cunning. Although he had taken over Lin Xuan's body, he still left some contingency measures in place beforehand. He possessed a second consciousness that allowed him to take over the old man without being detected.
zhè yàng ， jí biàn zhǔ yuán shén shī bài ， tā yī jiù kě yǐ huó xià qù ， wèi bì bù néng dōng shān zài qǐ ， rú guǒ chéng gōng ， liǎng gè yuán shén zài hé èr wéi yī 。 rú cǐ dǎ suàn ， bù kě wèi bù zhěn mì 。 hào tiān shèn zhì lián qīng shí xiá fù jìn de jìn kōng jìn zhì dōu suàn dé hěn qīng chǔ ， zì jǐ yǒu chōng zú de shí
这样，即便主元神失败，他依旧可以活下去，未必不能东山再起，如果成功，两个元神再合二为一。如此打算，不可谓不缜密。昊天甚至连青石峡附近的禁空禁制都算得很清楚，自己有充足的时
If his main consciousness failed, he could still survive and potentially rise again. If successful, the two consciousnesses would merge back into one. This plan was meticulously thought out. Even the禁制 around青石峡 (Greenstone Canyon) had been carefully considered by昊天鬼帝.
miè shā nà míng nián qīng xiū shì yǐ hòu ， tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yīn chén zhī sè ， huí guò tóu ， yuàn dú de kàn le yī yǎn shēn hòu miàn ， kě zhè yī kàn ， què liǎn sè dà biàn 。 yī lǚ jīng hóng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
灭杀那名年轻修士以后，他的脸上满是阴沉之色，回过头，怨毒的看了一眼身后面，可这一看，却脸色大变。一缕惊虹映入眼帘。
After killing the young cultivator, his expression turned grim as he glanced behind him with a venomous look. However, what he saw next caused his face to pale. A streak of lightning-like light appeared before his eyes.
“ bù kě néng ， zhè jìn kōng jìn zhì wǒ shì guò ， jiù suàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù néng fēi xíng de 。” ǎi pàng lǎo zhě shī shēng jīng hū ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā cái chōng fèn lǐng lüè dào nà jù móu shì zài rén ， chéng shì zài tiān de sú yǔ 。 suǒ yǒu de xì jié ， zì jǐ míng míng tuī suàn guò ， kě miàn duì lín xuān de shí hòu ， hái shì cuò lòu bǎi kě dú ！ rán ér tā yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān qù yù mèn le 。 zhāng kāi kǒu ， pēn chū yī lǚ fēi jiàn ， rán ér fù shēn zài le shàng miàn 。
“不可能，这禁空禁制我试过，就算是元婴后期的大修仙者，也不能飞行的。”矮胖老者失声惊呼，此时此刻，他才充分领略到那句谋事在人，成事在天的俗语。所有的细节，自己明明推算过，可面对林轩的时候，还是错漏百可毒！然而他已没有时间去郁闷了。张开口，喷出一缕飞剑，然而附身在了上面。
"Impossible, I've tested this禁制 (prohibition field) myself; even late-stage元婴 cultivators cannot fly through it," the short, plump elder exclaimed in shock. He finally understood the saying "Planning is within man's control, but execution depends on heaven." Despite all his calculations, he had still made mistakes.
tā suǒ zhàn lì zhī chù ， bìng méi yǒu bèi jìn zhì lǒng zhào zhe ， kě xiǎng yào táo tuō ， jī hū yě shì bù kě néng de 。
他所站立之处，并没有被禁制笼罩着，可想要逃脱，几乎也是不可能的。
However, there was no time for him to dwell on this. A dozen streaks of lightning-like light appeared from the horizon. The动静 (movements) in Greenstone Canyon had clearly alarmed the sect. Disciples were sent to investigate. Lin Xuan didn't bother with them and used a firelight to teleport away.
rán ér wú lùn rú hé ， tā dōu bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì ， zhǐ yào yǒu yī sī xī wàng ， jiù yào wéi shēng cún nǔ lì 。
然而无论如何，他都不会坐以待毙，只要有一丝希望，就要为生存努力。
Several streaks of light flew towards Greenstone Canyon, led by two cultivators at the early-stage 炼气期. The rest were still at the筑基期. They had been assigned to patrol when they suddenly detected something unusual in Greenstone Canyon, prompting their arrival.
hào tiān guǐ dì què shí liǎo de ， ruò bú shì yīn cuò yáng chā ， piān piān zhāo rě shàng lín xuān zhè biàn tài de jiā huo ， zuì zhōng de chéng jiù kǒng pà fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 rán ér xiàn zài ， shì gāi tā wèi zài yōu zhōu suǒ zuò de yī qiè fù chū dài jià le 。
昊天鬼帝确实了得，若不是阴错阳差，偏偏招惹上林轩这变态的家伙，最终的成就恐怕非同小可。然而现在，是该他为在幽州所做的一切付出代价了。
Suddenly, a small fire dragon appeared before them. One of the white-robed leaders was taken aback and immediately grabbed a传音符 (sound transmission talisman). After sinking his consciousness into it, he looked at his companion with a grave expression.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yuǎn chù líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī zhī qīng sè de dà shǒu fú xiàn ér chū ， hěn hěn de xiàng ǎi pàng lǎo zhě zhuā qù le 。 shì huǎn shí jí ， yī xià jiù jiāng duì fāng suǒ huà jīng hóng lán zhù 。
林轩袖袍一拂，远处灵光闪烁，一只青色的大手浮现而出，狠狠的像矮胖老者抓去了。似缓实急，一下就将对方所化惊虹拦住。
"Senior Brother, what's going on? Who sent this sound transmission talisman? Is there any problem in Greenstone Canyon?" the younger-looking cultivator asked, surprised by his comrade’s serious demeanor.
yǎn kàn duǒ wú kě duǒ ， pēng de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qián miàn de tiān kōng yě biàn wèi le hóng sè ， què shì nà ǎi pàng lǎo zhě zì bào diào le 。 suī rán jǐn jǐn shì zhù jī qī ， dàn zhè zì bào nǎi shì shì fàng hún shēn de yuán qì ， yě yōng yǒu pǒ wèi bù nà qīng sè de dà shǒu bèi zhèn kāi ， yī lǚ hēi yān jì xù xiàng qián táo cuàn 。
眼看躲无可躲，嘭的一声传入耳朵，前面的天空也变为了红色，却是那矮胖老者自爆掉了。虽然仅仅是筑基期，但这自爆乃是释放浑身的元气，也拥有颇为不那青色的大手被震开，一缕黑烟继续向前逃窜。
"The senior elder is handling something there. He didn't provide many details but instructed us to inform the sect lord that he has dealt with the prisoner in Greenstone Canyon and not to send more people to watch over him," the white-robed cultivator replied, looking puzzled. "Since the senior elder gave these instructions, we shouldn’t interfere. Let’s just follow his orders and inform the sect lord."
ér shě qù le ròu qū ， gǔ de dùn shù fǎn ér biàn dé qí kuài wú bǐ ， bié shuō qū qū zhù jī qī xiū shì ， jiù suàn níng dān qī dì zǐ ， yě míng xiǎn bù jí 。 kě xī zài lín xuān miàn qián ， zhè suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， quán dōu shì tú láo ér yǐ 。
而舍去了肉躯，牯的遁术反而变得奇快无比，别说区区筑基期修士，就算凝丹期弟子，也明显不及。可惜在林轩面前，这所有的一切，全都是徒劳而已。
The younger-looking cultivator nodded. The white-robed cultivator had no objections. The other筑基期 disciples stood silently; in the hierarchical world of cultivation, it was inappropriate for them to interject.
hào tiān guǐ dì de zhǔ yuán shén tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， fǎn bèi tā tūn shì ， qū qū yí gè dì èr fēn hún ， rú guǒ cóng tā shǒu lǐ táo tuō ， lín xuān kě yǐ qù shì sú mǎi kuài dòu fǔ ， gān cuì yī tóu zhuàng sǐ dé le 。
昊天鬼帝的主元神偷鸡不成蚀把米，反被他吞噬，区区一个第二分魂，如果从他手里逃脱，林轩可以去世俗买块豆腐，干脆一头撞死得了。
After discussing this, they returned to their duties. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan returned to his cave dwelling. However, Mo'er (Moon) was nowhere to be seen. Little Moon was practicing in her training room. Although her abilities were slightly inferior to Lin Xuan’s, the仙力 (immortal power) from the Deva Blood had helped her advance to late-stage元婴.
xiù páo yī fú ， zǐ tiǎn biān fēi lüè ér chū ， biǎo miàn diàn hú shǎn shuò ， huà wèi yī tóu jiāo lóng ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， pēn chū kě pà de guāng bō 。
袖袍一拂，紫腆鞭飞掠而出，表面电弧闪烁，化为一头蛟龙，张开血盆大口，喷出可怕的光波。
Lin Xuan felt something amiss when he returned. His body seemed to have undergone some changes, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different. He decided to check thoroughly. His经脉 (meridians) were fine, and his丹田气海 (dantian) appeared unchanged. Two元婴s sat side by side, each with a dragon-sized golden core above them. Below the dantian was a lake of colorful light, which was Lin Xuan’s source of power.
hào tiān guǐ dì dà jīng shī sè ， kě tā zhè dì èr yuán shén dùn shù suī rán bù fán ， dàn jiù xiū wèi lái kàn ， bù guò níng dān zhōng qī ， rú hé dǎng dé zhù lín xuān de léi tíng yī jī 。 hōng de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà hēi sè de yān wù ， shùn jiān yǐ huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
昊天鬼帝大惊失色，可他这第二元神遁术虽然不凡，但就修为来看，不过凝丹中期，如何挡得住林轩的雷霆一击。轰的一声巨响传入耳朵，那黑色的烟雾，瞬间已灰飞烟灭掉了。
In the depths of his识海 (awareness sea), countless sparkling points rotated slowly, resembling a starry sky. Checking this area revealed no issues. He then entered his识海.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， què dìng jiāng duì fāng miè shā dé gān gān jìng jìng ， méi yǒu rèn hé cán liú ， liǎn shàng zhè cái lù chū le mǎn yì yǐ jí de shén sè 。
林轩将神识放出，确定将对方灭杀得干干净净，没有任何残留，脸上这才露出了满意以极的神色。
Just like before, it was empty except for a five-colored ball floating in the center. This was his元神 (consciousness). It seemed larger than before and occasionally emitted strange black light.
bù guò hěn kuài ， tā yòu shén sè yī dòng ， yuǎn chù de tiān biān ， chū xiàn le shí yú dào jīng hóng ， suī rán qīng shí xiá wèi yú jiǔ líng shān shēn chù ， dàn zhè biān de dòng jìng ， xiǎn rán yǐ jīng dòng le bài xuān wén 。 yǒu zhí shì dì zǐ guò lái tàn chá le 。 lín xuān lǎn de yǔ tā men duō suo ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào huǒ guāng fēi lüè ér chū ， bú yòng shuō ， suí hòu lín zhǒng shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
不过很快，他又神色一动，远处的天边，出现了十余道惊虹，虽然青石峡位于玖凌山深处，但这边的动静，显然已惊动了拜轩阌。有执事弟子过来探查了。林轩懒得与他们哆嗦，袖袍一拂，一道火光飞掠而出，不用说，随后林种身形一闪，已从原地消失不见。
Lin Xuan finally realized something was wrong. After devouring昊天鬼帝's consciousness, he felt discomfort. Although the ghostly bloodline was very diluted, the imprint it left on his consciousness couldn’t be easily digested.
yuǎn chù tiān biān ， shù shí dào dùn guāng zhèng xiàng qīng shí xiá fēi lái ， lǐng tóu de xiū shì gòng yǒu liǎng gè ， dōu shì níng dān chū qī de xiū wèi ， zhì yú qí yú de xiū xiān zhě ， bù guò zhù jī qī bà le 。 jīn tiān gāng hǎo lún dào tā men xún luó ， tū rán gǎn dào qīng shí xiá zhè biān yǒu yì dòng ， zì rán yào guò lái
远处天边，数十道遁光正像青石峡飞来，领头的修士共有两个，都是凝丹初期的修为，至于其余的修仙者，不过筑基期罢了。今天刚好轮到他们巡逻，突然感到青石峡这边有异动，自然要过来
In his training room, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and identified the problem but struggled to find a solution. He rubbed his forehead in thought.
tū rán yíng miàn fēi lái yī xiǎo qiǎo de huǒ lóng ， nà lǐng tóu de bái páo xiū shì yī è ， lián máng èr huà bù shuō ， shēn shǒu jiē zhù le chuán yīn fú 。 suí hòu tā jiāng shén shí chén rù 。 shǎo qǐng ， bái páo xiū shì tái qǐ tóu ， liǎn shàng què lù chū le yī fù níng zhòng yǐ jí de shén sè 。
突然迎面飞来一小巧的火龙，那领头的白袍修士一愕，连忙二话不说，伸手接住了传音符。随后他将神识沉入。少顷，白袍修士抬起头，脸上却露出了一副凝重以极的神色。
After some time, he raised his head. This method might not work, but at least it was worth trying. A black baby appeared above him.
“ shī xiōng ， zěn me le ， shì shuí fā lái de chuán yīn fú ， qīng shí xiá nà biān ， kě zǒu chū shén me wèn tí le ？” páng biān de níng dān qī xiū shì ， miàn mào yào nián qīng yī xiē ， jiàn le tóng bàn de biǎo qíng ， duō shǎo yǒu jǐ fēn chà yì 。
“师兄，怎么了，是谁发来的传音符，青石峡那边，可走出什么问题了？”旁边的凝丹期修士，面貌要年轻一些，见了同伴的表情，多少有几分诧异。
This was his second元婴 (Devil Baby). The隐患 (hazard) had been resolved, and his cultivation level had reached the early-stage late-stage元婴.
“ shì dà zhǎng lǎo zài nà lǐ bàn shì ， jù tǐ de qíng xíng méi yǒu duō shuō ， zhǐ shì ràng wǒ men zhī huì yī shēng gé zhǔ ， shuō qīng shí xiá de fàn rén tā yǐ chǔ lǐ diào le ， bú yào zài pài rén kān shǒu 。” bái páo xiū shì yáo le yáo tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn mí huò ， bì jìng qīng shí xiá jiū jìng guān yā zhe shén me ， tā yě bìng bù qīng chǔ 。“ dà zhǎng lǎo jì rán rú cǐ fēn fù ， nà wǒ men jiù bú yào duō shì le ， àn zhào tā de mìng lìng tōng zhī gé zhǔ ， shī xiōng nǐ kàn rú hé ？” nà miàn mào nián qīng de xiū shì rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。“ zhèng gāi rú cǐ 。
“是大长老在那里办事，具体的情形没有多说，只是让我们知会一声阁主，说青石峡的犯人他已处理掉了，不要再派人看守。”白袍修士摇了摇头，脸上露出几分迷惑，毕竟青石峡究竟关押着什么，他也并不清楚。“大长老既然如此吩咐，那我们就不要多事了，按照他的命令通知阁主，师兄你看如何？”那面貌年轻的修士如此这般的说。“正该如此。
However, in the双婴一丹 (two consciousness one core), he ranked last. Lin Xuan’s main consciousness was obvious, and even his妖丹 (monster core) had advanced to mid-stage.
bái páo xiū shì dāng rán bú huì yǒu yì yì ， zhì yú qí tā de zhù jī qī dì zǐ ， zé shù shǒu ér lì ， xiū xiān jiè ， yōng yǒu sēn yán de děng jí ， shī zhǎng shuō huà ， tā men shì méi yǒu zī gé chā zuǐ dì 。 liǎng rén shāng liáng wán bì ， biàn dài zhe dì zǐ diào tóu fēi le huí qù 。 zài shuō lìng yī biān ， lín xuān yě huí dào le zì jǐ de dòng fǔ 。 bù guò yuè ér
白袍修士当然不会有异议，至于其他的筑基期弟子，则束手而立，修仙界，拥有森严的等级，师长说话，他们是没有资格插嘴地。两人商量完毕，便带着弟子掉头飞了回去。再说另一边，林轩也回到了自己的洞府。不过月儿
This wasn’t surprising since the妖丹 formed later but focused on cultivating 凤舞九天诀 (Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique) while only superficially learning 玄魔大沽 (Mystic Devil Great River).
què fāng zōng liǎo wú ， xiǎo yā tou zhèng zài liàn gōng fáng zhōng 。 suī rán tā de shén tōng fǎ lì ， yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ ， yě bù guò lüè xùn yī chóu ér yǐ 。
却芳踪了无，小丫头正在练功房中。虽然她的神通法力，与林轩相比，也不过略逊一筹而已。
Lin Xuan cast a spell, and the black baby’s body emitted black light. It shrank significantly and entered his眉心 (forehead center).
kào zhe xiū luó shén xuè zhōng luò shě de xiān lì ， bāng zhù yuè ér chéng gōng jìn jiē dào le yuán yīng hòu qī ， dàn zhèng yīn wèi rú cǐ ， tā - de jìng jiè bǐ zhèng cháng jìn jí gèng bù wěn gù ， xū yào hǎo hǎo xiū xíng mó lì yī fān de 。 zhè xiē shì qíng lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， suǒ yǐ méi kàn jiàn yuè ér yě jiù bù qí guài le 。 lín xuān yě lái dào liàn gōng fáng 。
靠着修罗神血中落舍的仙力，帮助月儿成功进阶到了元婴后期，但正因为如此，她-的境界比正常晋级更不稳固，需要好好修行磨砺一番的。这些事情林轩心中有数，所以没看见月儿也就不奇怪了。林轩也来到练功房。
In an instant, he appeared in his识海.
dāng rán shì lìng yí gè ， bì jìng liǎng rén zài yì qǐ liàn gōng de huà ， chú le shuāng xiū yǐ wài ， kěn dìng huì hù xiāng yǐng xiǎng ， suǒ yǐ píng rì lǐ ， dōu shì fēn kāi xiū xíng 。
当然是另一个，毕竟两人在一起练功的话，除了双修以外，肯定会互相影响，所以平日里，都是分开修行。
The area was empty as the black baby flew towards the center.
pán xī ér zuò ， lín xuān xiān lüè zuò tiáo xī ， rán hòu shuāng shǒu qīng wò ， jìn rù rù dìng zhuàng tài le 。
盘膝而坐，林轩先略作调息，然后双手轻握，进入入定状态了。
After a moment, the five-colored ball contracted into a tiny figure.
shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí ， chén rù le dān tián qì hǎi lǐ 。
施展内视之术，林轩将神识，沉入了丹田气海里。
It resembled the size of the black baby but wasn’t solid; it was just a light projection. "Hurry!"
hào tiān guǐ dì àn suàn zì jǐ ， nǎ zhī dào què ròu bāo zi dǎ gǒu ， fǎn bèi zì jǐ jiāng yuán shén tūn shì
昊天鬼帝暗算自己，哪知道却肉包子打狗，反被自己将元神吞噬
The consciousness formed a small figure gripped its hands and cast a spell. Its body trembled uncontrollably before opening its mouth to emit a cloud of dark mist, which was昊天鬼帝's元神.
zuì qǐ chū de shí hòu ， lín xuān yě méi jué de shén me ， rán ér huí dào dòng fǔ zhī zhōng ， tā què jué de zì jǐ de shēn tǐ ， sì hū jiàn shēng mǒu zhǒng biàn huà 。 xuán 。 jù tǐ qíng xíng ， lín xuān yě shuō bù qīng chǔ ， zì rán yào juān hǎo jiǎn chá yī xià 。 hún shēn de jīng mài bìng kàng bù tuǒ 。 dān tián qì hǎi ， sì hū yě yǔ yǐ qián yī yàng jūn 。 liǎng gè yuán yīng pán xī ér zuò ， xiāng duì piāo fú ， lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de jīn dān ， zài tā men tóu dǐng pán xià miàn shì yī tán hú pō ， rán ér lǐ miàn de hú shuǐ què zuò wǔ cǎi zhī sè ， nà jiù shì lín xuān de líng lì zhī yuán le 。 ér zài qì hǎi shēn chù ， zé yǒu wú shù cuǐ càn de guāng diǎn huǎn huǎn xuán zhuǎn ， měi lì dé yǒu rú xīng kōng yì bān 。 shén shí sǎo guò ， zhè lǐ yě kàng bù tuǒ 。 suí hòu lín xuān jìn rù zì jǐ de shí hǎi le 。 yǔ gāng gāng yī yàng ， yī jiù shì yī piàn xū wú 。
最起初的时候，林轩也没觉得什么，然而回到洞府之中，他却觉得自己的身体，似乎鉴生某种变化。旋。具体情形，林轩也说不清楚，自然要娟好检查一下。浑身的经脉并亢不妥。丹田气海，似乎也与以前一样钧。两个元婴盘膝而坐，相对漂浮，龙眼大小的金丹，在他们头顶盘下面是一潭湖泊，然而里面的湖水却做五彩之色，那就是林轩的灵力之源了。而在气海深处，则有无数璀璨的光点缓缓旋转，美丽得有如星空一般。神识扫过，这里也亢不妥。随后林轩进入自己的识海了。与刚刚一样，依旧是一片虚无。
For some reason, Lin Xuan’s consciousness couldn’t digest it fully but expelling it would be wasteful.
zài nà shí hǎi de zhōng xīn zhī chù ， yǒu yī wǔ cǎi guāng qiú huǎn dù piāo fú ， zhè jiù shì xiū shì de yuán shén le ， yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， tā sì hū bǐ yǐ qián dà le xǔ duō ， biǎo miàn bù shí yǒu guǐ yì de hēi guāng shǎn guò 。
在那识海的中心之处，有一五彩光球缓渡漂浮，这就是修士的元神了，与以前相比，他似乎比以前大了许多，表面不时有诡异的黑光闪过。
Consciousness was merely an ethereal entity and thus very fragile. The black baby opened its mouth and emitted green gas that enveloped the remnants of昊天鬼帝's consciousness, swallowing them whole.
lín xuān zhōng yú fā xiàn le zì jǐ shēn tǐ de bù tuǒ ， jiù zài zhè shí hǎi zhī zhōng ， tūn shì hào tiān guǐ dì de yuán shén yǐ hòu ， yǒu xiē bù shū fú 。
林轩终于发现了自己身体的不妥，就在这识海之中，吞噬昊天鬼帝的元神以后，有些不舒服。
The black baby then transformed into a streak of lightning, exiting his识海 and re-entering Lin Xuan’s 天灵盖 (forehead).
bì jìng duì fāng kě shì jù yǒu shì xuè guǐ zú de xuè tǒng ， suī rán hěn xī bó ， dàn yuán shén zhōng suǒ yùn hán de yìn jì ， yě bú shì shéi dōu kě yǐ xiāo huà dì 。
毕竟对方可是具有嗜血鬼族的血统，虽然很稀薄，但元神中所蕴含的印记，也不是谁都可以消化地。
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His plan had succeeded for now, but he would need to see how it developed further. Using an元婴 to digest another consciousness shouldn’t pose many issues.
liàn gōng shì zhōng ， lín xuān huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi le shuāng móu ， dǎo shì fā xiàn le wèi hé bù tuǒ ， dàn gāi zěn me jiě jué ， què hái pǒ fèi yī fān sī liáng de 。 lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， xiàn rù le chén sī zhī zhōng 。
练功室中，林轩缓缓睁开了双眸，倒是发现了为何不妥，但该怎么解决，却还颇费一番思量的。林轩以手抚额，陷入了沉思之中。
After stretching, he sat down again, closed his eyes, and used the 内视术 (internal viewing technique)...
liáng jiǔ ， tā zhōng yú tái qǐ le tóu ， zhè ge fāng fǎ suī rán bù zhī dào yǒu méi yǒu yòng ， dàn zhì shǎo kě yǐ shì yī shì de 。 líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī hēi sè de yīng ér zài tā tóu dǐng fú xiàn 。
良久，他终于抬起了头，这个方法虽然不知道有没有用，但至少可以试一试的。灵光一闪，一黑色的婴儿在他头顶浮现。
In his dantian, the black baby sat cross-legged. After devouring昊天鬼帝's consciousness, it didn't show any discomfort; instead, its complexion improved significantly. Lin Xuan felt a glimmer of hope.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì tā de dì èr yuán yīng le ， mó yīng de yǐn huàn yǐ jīng jiě chú ， rú jīn xiū wèi yǐ dào yuán yīng chū qī dǐng fēng 。
不用说，自然是他的第二元婴了，魔婴的隐患已经解除，如今修为已到元婴初期顶峰。
P.S.: Second update for the month. Votes are due this month, Raindrops! Please get your monthly votes to secure the category honor. Thank you all.
The unfortunate cultivator remained confused until his last breath. The short, plump elder’s demeanor had completely changed.
昊天鬼帝 was incredibly cunning. Although he had taken over Lin Xuan's body, he still left some contingency measures in place beforehand. He possessed a second consciousness that allowed him to take over the old man without being detected.
If his main consciousness failed, he could still survive and potentially rise again. If successful, the two consciousnesses would merge back into one. This plan was meticulously thought out. Even the禁制 around青石峡 (Greenstone Canyon) had been carefully considered by昊天鬼帝.
After killing the young cultivator, his expression turned grim as he glanced behind him with a venomous look. However, what he saw next caused his face to pale. A streak of lightning-like light appeared before his eyes.
"Impossible, I've tested this禁制 (prohibition field) myself; even late-stage元婴 cultivators cannot fly through it," the short, plump elder exclaimed in shock. He finally understood the saying "Planning is within man's control, but execution depends on heaven." Despite all his calculations, he had still made mistakes.
However, there was no time for him to dwell on this. A dozen streaks of lightning-like light appeared from the horizon. The动静 (movements) in Greenstone Canyon had clearly alarmed the sect. Disciples were sent to investigate. Lin Xuan didn't bother with them and used a firelight to teleport away.
Several streaks of light flew towards Greenstone Canyon, led by two cultivators at the early-stage 炼气期. The rest were still at the筑基期. They had been assigned to patrol when they suddenly detected something unusual in Greenstone Canyon, prompting their arrival.
Suddenly, a small fire dragon appeared before them. One of the white-robed leaders was taken aback and immediately grabbed a传音符 (sound transmission talisman). After sinking his consciousness into it, he looked at his companion with a grave expression.
"Senior Brother, what's going on? Who sent this sound transmission talisman? Is there any problem in Greenstone Canyon?" the younger-looking cultivator asked, surprised by his comrade’s serious demeanor.
"The senior elder is handling something there. He didn't provide many details but instructed us to inform the sect lord that he has dealt with the prisoner in Greenstone Canyon and not to send more people to watch over him," the white-robed cultivator replied, looking puzzled. "Since the senior elder gave these instructions, we shouldn’t interfere. Let’s just follow his orders and inform the sect lord."
The younger-looking cultivator nodded. The white-robed cultivator had no objections. The other筑基期 disciples stood silently; in the hierarchical world of cultivation, it was inappropriate for them to interject.
After discussing this, they returned to their duties. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan returned to his cave dwelling. However, Mo'er (Moon) was nowhere to be seen. Little Moon was practicing in her training room. Although her abilities were slightly inferior to Lin Xuan’s, the仙力 (immortal power) from the Deva Blood had helped her advance to late-stage元婴.
Lin Xuan felt something amiss when he returned. His body seemed to have undergone some changes, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different. He decided to check thoroughly. His经脉 (meridians) were fine, and his丹田气海 (dantian) appeared unchanged. Two元婴s sat side by side, each with a dragon-sized golden core above them. Below the dantian was a lake of colorful light, which was Lin Xuan’s source of power.
In the depths of his识海 (awareness sea), countless sparkling points rotated slowly, resembling a starry sky. Checking this area revealed no issues. He then entered his识海.
Just like before, it was empty except for a five-colored ball floating in the center. This was his元神 (consciousness). It seemed larger than before and occasionally emitted strange black light.
Lin Xuan finally realized something was wrong. After devouring昊天鬼帝's consciousness, he felt discomfort. Although the ghostly bloodline was very diluted, the imprint it left on his consciousness couldn’t be easily digested.
In his training room, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and identified the problem but struggled to find a solution. He rubbed his forehead in thought.
After some time, he raised his head. This method might not work, but at least it was worth trying. A black baby appeared above him.
This was his second元婴 (Devil Baby). The隐患 (hazard) had been resolved, and his cultivation level had reached the early-stage late-stage元婴.
However, in the双婴一丹 (two consciousness one core), he ranked last. Lin Xuan’s main consciousness was obvious, and even his妖丹 (monster core) had advanced to mid-stage.
This wasn’t surprising since the妖丹 formed later but focused on cultivating 凤舞九天诀 (Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique) while only superficially learning 玄魔大沽 (Mystic Devil Great River).
Lin Xuan cast a spell, and the black baby’s body emitted black light. It shrank significantly and entered his眉心 (forehead center).
In an instant, he appeared in his识海.
The area was empty as the black baby flew towards the center.
After a moment, the five-colored ball contracted into a tiny figure.
It resembled the size of the black baby but wasn’t solid; it was just a light projection. "Hurry!"
The consciousness formed a small figure gripped its hands and cast a spell. Its body trembled uncontrollably before opening its mouth to emit a cloud of dark mist, which was昊天鬼帝's元神.
For some reason, Lin Xuan’s consciousness couldn’t digest it fully but expelling it would be wasteful.
Consciousness was merely an ethereal entity and thus very fragile. The black baby opened its mouth and emitted green gas that enveloped the remnants of昊天鬼帝's consciousness, swallowing them whole.
The black baby then transformed into a streak of lightning, exiting his识海 and re-entering Lin Xuan’s 天灵盖 (forehead).
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His plan had succeeded for now, but he would need to see how it developed further. Using an元婴 to digest another consciousness shouldn’t pose many issues.
After stretching, he sat down again, closed his eyes, and used the 内视术 (internal viewing technique)...
In his dantian, the black baby sat cross-legged. After devouring昊天鬼帝's consciousness, it didn't show any discomfort; instead, its complexion improved significantly. Lin Xuan felt a glimmer of hope.
