yōu zhōu xiū xiān jiè fēng qǐ yún yǒng ， zhǒng zhǒng chuán wén zì rán yě luò rù le lín xuān de èr zhōng ， yǐ tā de xìng gé ， yuán běn bù xiǎng qù chān huo tài duō de ēn yuàn jiū gé ， bù guò wàn fú zōng hēng hēng ， zì jǐ yǔ gāi pài zǎo jiù shuǐ huǒ bù róng 。
幽州修仙界风起云涌，种种传闻自然也落入了林轩的二中，以他的性格，原本不想去掺和太多的恩怨纠葛，不过万佛宗哼哼，自己与该派早就水火不容。
The cultivation scene in Youzhou was bustling, and various rumors naturally reached Lin Xuan's ears. Given his personality, he originally didn't want to get involved in too many grudges and grievances, but with the Wufo Sect breathing down his neck, it was clear that he and them were at odds.
dí rén de dí rén jiù shì zì jǐ de péng yǒu ， gèng hé kuàng zì jǐ yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé ， běn jiù suàn bù shàng shén me wài rén de 。
敌人的敌人就是自己的朋友，更何况自己与天涯海阁，本就算不上什么外人的。
Enemies of one’s enemies are friends, especially since he and the Tianya Hai Pavilion weren’t exactly outsiders. As for Qin Yan's relationship, they could be put aside for now; Meng Ruyan was his sworn sister!
qín yán de guān xì zàn qiě bù shuō ， mèng rú yān kě shì zì jǐ jué de jié bài jiě jiě ó ！
秦妍的关系暂且不说，梦如嫣可是自己觉得结拜姐姐哦！
From both reason and emotion, Lin Xuan had no intention of staying out of it. After all, with his current cultivation level, comparable to the Separation Realm, and with Moon’s fusion of true blood from the Deva True Blood Decree in the future, his abilities had surged to a point that was quite impressive.
yú qíng yú lǐ ， lín xuān dōu méi yǒu zhì shēn shì wài zhī yì ， hé kuàng tā rú jīn de xiū wèi ， yǐ kān bǐ lí hé ， yuè ér róng hé xiū luó zhēn xuè zài yǐ hòu ， shén tōng yě tū fēi měng jìn dào lìng rén cè mù 。
于情于理，林轩都没有置身事外之意，何况他如今的修为，以堪比离合，月儿融合修罗真血在以后，神通也突飞猛进到令人侧目。
With his master and servant teaming up, they could go anywhere in the world. It seemed like it was time for him to pay a visit to the Tianya Hai Pavilion.
zhǔ pú èr rén lián shǒu ， tiān xià jǐn kě qù dé ， kàn lái shì shí hòu ， gāi qù zào fǎng yī xià tiān yá hǎi gé 。
主仆二人联手，天下尽可去得，看来是时候，该去造访一下天涯海阁。
Lin Xuan toyed with the jade cylinder in his hand, placing his hand on his forehead as he looked deep into space.
lín xuān bǎ wán zhuó shǒu zhōng de yù tǒng ， yǐ shǒu fú é ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn lù chū shēn chén yǐ jí de shén sè
林轩把玩着手中的玉筒，以手扶额，眼中隐隐露出深沉以极的神色
Three days later, a streak of lightning pierced through the sky from Jiuling Mountain and flew northward without stopping.
sān rì yǐ hòu ， yī dào jīng hóng cóng jiǔ líng shān pò kōng ér chū ， háo bù tíng liú ， yī lù xiàng běi fēi lüè ér zǒu 。
三日以后，一道惊虹从玖凌山破空而出，毫不停留，一路向北飞掠而走。
Lin Xuan had delayed his departure for three days because he had already made preparations for Baixuan Pavilion. He instructed Qing Nv to remain cautious during this critical period, not to provoke unnecessary conflicts but instead wait for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ xiàn zài cái dòng shēn ， zì rán shì duì bài xuān gé zuò le yī fān bù zhì ， fēn fù liàng nǚ zài zhè fēi cháng shí qī ， qiè bù kě zuò chū nà chěng qiáng de dà jì ， ér shì děng dài shí jī ， zhǔn bèi hún shuǐ mō yú 。
林轩之所以现在才动身，自然是对拜轩阁做了一番布置，吩咐靓女在这非常时期，切不可做出那逞强的大忌，而是等待时机，准备浑水摸鱼。
Qing Nv was relieved when she heard that from her master. She didn't want anything to go wrong while they were away since her precious disciple Zheng Xuan was still at Jiuling Mountain's main hall.
duì yú shào yé de fēn fù ， lù yíng ér zì rán wú yǒu bù cóng ， wǔ yún ér tóng yàng lù chū gōng jìng yǐ jí de shēn sè ， suí hòu lín xuān yòu chōu chū shí jiān ， duì liǎng nǚ de xiū wèi zuò le yī fān zhǐ diǎn 。
对于少爷的吩咐，陆盈儿自然无有不从，武云儿同样露出恭敬以极的深色，随后林轩又抽出时间，对两女的修为做了一番指点。
The Tianya Hai Pavilion ranked among Youzhou’s seven major forces, but its operational style differed greatly from the other six.
yǐ tā xiàn zài de jìng jiè ， diǎn bō liǎng míng níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， yòng dà cái xiǎo yòng lái shuō yě bù wèi guò ， liáo liáo jǐ jù diǎn bō ， jiù ràng liǎng nǚ yǒu máo sè dùn kāi de gǎn jué le 。
以他现在的境界，点拨两名凝丹期修仙者，用大材小用来说也不为过，寥寥几句点拨，就让两女有茅塞顿开的感觉了。
Among these seven factions, it was considered the most mysterious one. Legend had it that their sect resided on a fairy island in the overseas region, which technically didn't fall under Youzhou's jurisdiction and was categorized as an overseas sect.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu liú xià dà liàng líng dān ， yǐ bèi liǎng nǚ rì hòu de xiū liàn 。
随后林轩又留下大量灵丹，以备两女日后的修炼。
The Tianya Hai Pavilion rarely intervened in matters within Youzhou, except for the shocking battle that occurred five hundred years ago, which left people with a lasting impression of this mysterious sect.
zuò wán zhè yī qiè hòu ， tā cái lí kāi 。
做完这一切后，他才离开。
However, it did indeed trace its roots back to ancient times, though their rules were peculiar—only female cultivators could be accepted into the sect. Even if men had excellent spiritual root qualities, they couldn't join.
“ shào yé ， rú jīn yún zhōu hěn luàn ， jiù zhè me zǒu le ， nǐ zhēn de fàng xīn me ?” qīng cuì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì yuè ér zài kāi kǒu le 。
“少爷，如今云州很乱，就这么走了，你真的放心么?”清脆的声音传入耳朵，不用说，自然是月儿在开口了。
There were even rumors that any man who entered within two hundred miles of the island would be expelled by the sect's enforcers. If they left obediently, it was fine; otherwise, these beautiful female cultivators wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.
níng jié yuán yīng yǐ hòu ， xiǎo yā tou yǐ bù zài shì xū wú de yīn hún guǐ wù ， ér shì níng jié chū zì jǐ de shēn tǐ lái le 。
凝结元婴以后，小丫头已不再是虚无的阴魂鬼物，而是凝结出自己的身体来了。
The fairy island occupied by the Tianya Hai Pavilion was a vast paradise with abundant spiritual veins and various rare treasures. The beauty, medicinal herbs, and exotic treasures combined made this sect incredibly alluring. However, after that battle where Meng Ruyan killed thousands of cultivators, leaving rivers of blood, no one dared to covet their power.
àn lǐ shuō ， bù néng zài yǒu lín xuān suí shēn dài zhe ， bù guò shàng cì tiān qiǎo mén zhī lǚ ， lín xuān suī rán ráo guò le mò xuě sōng fū fù ， què cóng tā men shǒu zhōng qiāo zhà lái tiān jī fǔ 。
按理说，不能再有林轩随身带着，不过上次天巧门之旅，林轩虽然饶过了莫雪松夫妇，却从他们手中敲诈来天机府。
Nevertheless, many male cultivators still lingered around the area, as men were not allowed into the main hall but could marry female disciples if they fell in love.
zhè bǎo bèi de zhēn xī chéng dù ， kān yǔ yuán yīng hòu qī kuǐ lěi xiāng bǐ ， yǒu le tā ， yuè ér kě yǐ zhù zài mí nǐ dòng fǔ ， bù jǐn zǒu nǎ li dōu kě yǒu lín xuān suí shēn dài zhe ， ér qiě hái xiū xíng gǎn lù liǎng bù wù ， kě yǐ shuō ， bǐ yǐ qián ， gèng jiā de fāng biàn le 。
这宝贝的珍稀程度，堪与元婴后期傀儡相比，有了他，月儿可以住在迷你洞府，不仅走哪里都可有林轩随身带着，而且还修行赶路两不误，可以说，比以前，更加的方便了。
From this perspective, the sect's rules had a certain degree of human touch; however, once married, even if a female disciple was powerful or held an important position within the sect, she couldn't return to the main hall without permission.
“ shǎ yā tou ， nǐ dān xīn shén me ， suī rán yún zhōu cáng lóng wò hǔ ， bài xuān gé de shí lì bù suàn shén me ， dàn zǒng duò de fáng yù què shì yī děng yī ， hù pài dà zhèn huā qù le bǎi wàn jīng shí ， biàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì bèi kùn zhù ， xiǎng yào pò zhèn ér chū yě yào pǒ wèi yī fān fū ， zài jiā shàng wǒ cóng tiān qiǎo mén dài huí lái de bǎo wù ， yǐ jí chuān shān jiǎ yǔ shī mó ， jìn gōng huò xǔ bù zú dàn guāng shì fáng yù běn mén zǒng duò ， zhǐ yào bú shì zhāo rě shàng shén me chāo jí shì lì ， yīng gāi chuò chuò yǒu yú 。”
“傻丫头，你担心什么，虽然云州藏龙卧虎，拜轩阁的实力不算什么，但总舵的防御却是一等一，护派大阵花去了百万晶石，便是元婴后期修士被困住，想要破阵而出也要颇为一番夫，再加上我从天巧门带回来的宝物，以及穿山甲与尸魔，进攻或许不足但光是防御本门总舵，只要不是招惹上什么超级势力，应该绰绰有余。”
Of course, it wasn’t that she would be expelled from the sect entirely.
lín xuān wēi wēi yī xiào de shuō ， duì yú lù yíng ér yǔ wǔ yún ér tā kě shì xìn xīn shí zú ， suī rán liǎng gè yā tou de shí lì bù zhí yī tí ， dàn rén jué duì cōng míng líng lì ， zuò shì qíng hěn dǒng de fēn cùn bǎ wò ， zì jǐ jì yǐ dīng zhǔ ， tā men jiù jué bú huì qù wú duān zhāo rě qiáng dí shén me ， huàn jù huà shuō ， gēn běn jiù méi shén me zhí de hǎo dān xīn de 。
林轩微微一笑的说，对于陆盈儿与武云儿他可是信心十足，虽然两个丫头的实力不值一提，但人绝对聪明伶俐，做事情很懂得分寸把握，自己既已叮嘱，她们就绝不会去无端招惹强敌什么，换句话说，根本就没什么值得好担心的。
She would simply become an outer-cultivator instead.
“ ó !” tīng shào yé zhè me shuō ， yuè ér sōng le kǒu qì ， bì jìng bài xuān gé zhǔ pú èr rén méi shǎo tóu rù xīn xuè jīng lì ， tā yě bù xī wàng lí kāi zhè duàn shí jiān ， chū shén me chā cuò ， hé kuàng zì jǐ de bǎo bèi tú dì zhèng xuán ， yě dài zài jiǔ líng shān zǒng tán 。
“哦!”听少爷这么说，月儿松了口气，毕竟拜轩阁主仆二人没少投入心血精力，她也不希望离开这段时间，出什么差错，何况自己的宝贝徒弟郑璇，也待在玖凌山总坛。
Outer-cultivators were not allowed back into the main hall but could live on one of the thousands of small islands scattered around the giant fairy island. They could establish their own cultivation families and have children if they wished to rejoin the Tianya Hai Pavilion after passing certain evaluations.
tiān yá hǎi gé wèi jū yún zhōu qī dà shì lì ， rán ér xíng shì fēng gé yǔ lìng wài liù pài què dà bù xiāng tóng 。
天涯海阁位居云州七大势力，然而行事风格与另外六派却大不相同。
In this way, the sect could continuously produce excellent disciples while having numerous cultivation families near the main hall, making it a formidable force indeed.
zài qī pài zhī zhōng ， tā kān chēng zuì wèi shén mì de yí gè 。
在七派之中，他堪称最为神秘的一个。
Lin Xuan's speed was extraordinary, but Youzhou was vast. After flying for an entire month without rest, he finally saw the boundless sea.
jù shuō qí zōng mén zài hǎi wài de yī zuò xiān dǎo ， yán gé lái shuō ， dōu bù shǔ yú yún zhōu de shí lì fàn chóu ， ér bèi guī shǔ dào le hǎi wài zōng mén zhī zhōng 。
据说其宗门在海外的一座仙岛，严格来说，都不属于云州的实力范畴，而被归属到了海外宗门之中。
To avoid drawing attention, Lin Xuan used his recondite qi technique and transformed into an ordinary mid-stage condensation realm cultivator.
gāi pài yě shèn shǎo chā shǒu yún zhōu de shì wù ， ruò bú shì wǔ bǎi nián qián ， nà chǎng zhèn jīng tiān yún zhōu de dà zhàn ， rén men kǒng pà dōu yào duì zhè shén mì de mén pài wàng huái 。
该派也甚少插手云州的事物，若不是五百年前，那场震惊天云州的大战，人们恐怕都要对这神秘的门派忘怀。
After spending a day in the city, Lin Xuan arrived at a common island.
dàn tā què shí shì cóng shàng gǔ shí qī chuán chéng xià lái ， zhǐ bù guò mén guī shí fēn gǔ guài ， zhǐ shōu nǚ xiū ， nán zi biàn shì yǒu zài hǎo de líng gēn zī zhì ， yě bù kě néng bài rù qí zhōng 。
但他确实是从上古时期传承下来，只不过门规十分古怪，只收女修，男子便是有再好的灵根资质，也不可能拜入其中。
This island was considered ordinary because its spiritual vein quality was extremely poor, unsuitable for cultivation; however, it had a city of cultivators.
shèn zhì gèng yǒu chuán yán ， nán zi zhǐ yào tà rù tiān yá hǎi gé suǒ zài de xiān dǎo liǎng bǎi lǐ nèi ， jiù huì bèi gāi pài de zhí shǐ qū zhú 。
甚至更有传言，男子只要踏入天涯海阁所在的仙岛两百里内，就会被该派的执使驱逐。
The Sea City!
ruò duì fāng tīng huà lí kāi yě jiù bà le ， fǒu zé nà xiē měi mào nǚ xiū shā qǐ rén lái yě jué bú huì yǒu fēn háo shǒu ruǎn 。
若对方听话离开也就罢了，否则那些美貌女修杀起人来也绝不会有分毫手软。
As the name suggested, beyond this city lay the depths of Youzhou's outer sea.
ér tiān yá hǎi gé zhàn jù de xiān dǎo yě shì yī dòng tiān fú dì ， líng mài bú yòng shuō ， gè zhǒng tiān cái dì bǎo yě shì jí duō ， yī xiē líng wù ， shèn zhì shì nèi lù suǒ méi yǒu 。
而天涯海阁占据的仙岛也是一洞天福地，灵脉不用说，各种天才地宝也是极多，一些灵物，甚至是内陆所没有。
Speaking of Youzhou, it was indeed a holy land for cultivation. The inland region harbored countless hidden talents and experts, but even the outer sea, considered a savage place, had many sects and families as well as scattered cultivators.
měi nǚ ， líng yào ， yì bǎo ， zhè sān yàng jiā zài yì qǐ ， ràng gāi pài chōng mǎn liǎo wú jǐn de yòu huò lì ， kě xī dāng nián nà yī zhàn ， mèng rú yān yī jǔ miè shā shǔ yǐ wàn jì de xiū xiān zhě ， xuè liú chéng hé ， lián hǎi shuǐ dōu bèi rǎn chéng le hóng sè ， rú cǐ shǒu duàn zhī xià ， zì rán zài méi yǒu rén gǎn duì gāi pài xīn huái jì yú 。
美女，灵药，异宝，这三样加在一起，让该派充满了无尽的诱惑力，可惜当年那一战，梦如嫣一举灭杀数以万计的修仙者，血流成河，连海水都被染成了红色，如此手段之下，自然在没有人敢对该派心怀觊觎。
Of course, their strength paled in comparison to those on the mainland.
bù guò měi nián zài gāi pài fù jìn pái huái de nán xiū shì yī jiù shì jí duō ， nán zi bù zhǔn tà zú běn mén zǒng duò ， dàn rú guǒ liǎng qíng xiāng yuè ， tiān yá hǎi gé de nǚ dì zi yī jiù shì kě yǐ jià rén de 。
不过每年在该派附近徘徊的男修士依旧是极多，男子不准踏足本门总舵，但如果两情相悦，天涯海阁的女弟子依旧是可以嫁人的。
However, every place had its unique specialties; some rare treasures from the depths of the ocean were not found inland.
cóng zhè yì diǎn lái shuō ， gāi pài de mén guī dào yě yǒu yī xiē rén qíng wèi ér ， bù guò jià rén yǐ hòu ， gāi nǚ dì zi bù guǎn shí lì rú hé ， yuán běn zài zōng mén nèi dān dāng shén me zhí wù ， wèi dé zhào huàn ， dōu bù xǔ zài tà zú zǒng duò 。
从这一点来说，该派的门规倒也有一些人情味儿，不过嫁人以后，该女弟子不管实力如何，原本在宗门内担当什么职务，未得召唤，都不许再踏足总舵。
The Sea City was where cultivators could rest while preparing for a journey into the sea. It wasn't rich in valuable items but provided an opportunity to learn about local customs and cultures.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì shuō jiù jiāng tā zhú chū mén qiáng le 。
当然，也不是说就将她逐出门墙了。
Standing before a shop, Lin Xuan held a blue jade cylinder, which contained news about the Tianya Hai Pavilion.
zhǐ bù guò 。
只不过。
Given that the Tianya Hai Pavilion was a major force among outer-sea sects, there were many records of their activities. Lin Xuan read with interest.
yóu nèi gōng dì zǐ zhuǎn wéi wài gōng dì zǐ ér yǐ 。
由内宫弟子转为外宫弟子而已。
To avoid drawing attention, he changed his attire to a different style of green robe, adopting the appearance of an overseas cultivator.
wài gōng dì zǐ bù xǔ huí zǒng duò ， dàn zài nà jù dà de xiān dǎo fù jìn ， hái yǒu shù yǐ qiān jì de xiǎo dǎo xīng luó qí bù ， ér qiě dà duō dōu shì yōng yǒu líng mài nà zhǒng 。
外宫弟子不许回总舵，但在那巨大的仙岛附近，还有数以千计的小岛星罗棋布，而且大多都是拥有灵脉那种。
After purchasing a map, Lin Xuan rested in the city and feasted on some seafood before resuming his journey into the ocean depths.
jià rén yǐ hòu ， wài gōng dì zǐ jiù kě yǐ hé tā men de zhàng fū ， xuǎn zé yī zuò xiǎo de dǎo yǔ jū zhù ， kāi zhī sàn yè ， jiàn lì xiū xiān jiā zú 。
嫁人以后，外宫弟子就可以和他们的丈夫，选择一座小的岛屿居住，开枝散叶，建立修仙家族。
For ordinary cultivators, the dangers of the deep sea were numerous—fierce sea monsters and dangerous storms. Even those with lower cultivation levels could be overwhelmed by these threats.
shěng chū lái de nǚ ér rú guǒ zī zhì yōu yì ， jīng guò kǎo hé ， yòu kě yǐ chóng xīn jiā rù tiān yá hǎi gé 。
省出来的女儿如果资质优异，经过考核，又可以重新加入天涯海阁。
Apart from old monsters at the Separation Realm level, most cultivators traveled in groups for safety.
huàn jù huà shuō ， tiān yá hǎi gé tōng guò zhè zhǒng mó shì ， bù jǐn kě yǐ yuán yuán bù duàn de dé dào zì zhì jué jiā de dì zǐ ， ér qiě zǒng duò fù jìn ， hái yī fù yǒu shù yǐ qiān jì de xiū xiān jiā zú ， bù kuì shì páng rán dà wù 。
换句话说，天涯海阁通过这种模式，不仅可以源源不断的得到自制绝佳的弟子，而且总舵附近，还依附有数以千计的修仙家族，不愧是庞然大物。
While sipping tea in a tavern, Lin Xuan met several cultivators who wanted to team up with him. However, he politely declined their offer.
lín xuān de dùn sù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér yún zhōu shí zài tài dà le ， tā bù xiū bù mián de fēi le yí yuè zhī hòu ， cái zhōng yú jiàn dào máng máng de dà hǎi 。
林轩的遁速非同小可，然而云州实在太大了，他不休不眠的飞了一月之后，才终于见到茫茫的大海。
Lin Xuan glanced at his map and estimated that it would take a few days to reach the Tianya Hai Pavilion's fairy island based on his speed.
lín xuān bù xiǎng yǐn rén zhǔ mù 。 shī zhǎn liǎn qì zhī shù ， biàn chéng le yī pǔ tōng de níng dān zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
林轩不想引人瞩目。施展敛气之术，变成了一普通的凝丹中期的修仙者。
The vastness of the sea was breathtaking, and Lin Xuan had never seen such scenery before, which left him feeling refreshed.
rán hòu yòu huā le yī rì de fū ， lín xuān lái dào le yī zuò pǔ tōng de dǎo yǔ 。
然后又花了一日的夫，林轩来到了一座普通的岛屿。
Two days later, a streak of lightning pierced through the sky, just a few thousand miles from the Tianya Hai Pavilion’s fairy island.
zhè zuò dǎo ， shuō tā pǔ tōng ， shì yīn wèi suǒ chù de líng mài dī liè yǐ jí ， gēn běn jiù bú shì hé xiū xíng ， rán ér què yǒu yī zuò xiū shì de chéng shì 。
这座岛，说他普通，是因为所处的灵脉低劣以极，根本就不适合修行，然而却有一座修士的城市。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's speed slowed as he turned to look at his left side. The only thing visible was the blue sea, but after releasing his divine sense, he detected something unusual—crackling sounds emanating from several miles away.
rù hǎi chéng ！
入海城！
Though Lin Xuan didn't like meddling in others' affairs, this place was close to the Tianya Hai Pavilion. If it were one of their disciples in danger, he couldn’t ignore them out of reason and emotion.
gù míng sī yì ， guò le cǐ chéng ， jiù jìn rù le yún zhōu de wài hǎi shēn chù 。
顾名思义，过了此城，就进入了云州的外海深处。
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan flew towards the source of the sounds.
shuō qǐ yún zhōu ， bù kuì shì xiū liàn shèng dì 。 nèi lù cáng lóng wò hǔ ， yōng yǒu de gāo shǒu shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， biàn shì zhè bèi rèn wéi shì huāng mán zhī dì de wài hǎi ， yě yǒu bù shǎo zōng mén jiā zú ， tóng yàng sàn xiū yě hěn duō 。
说起云州，不愧是修炼圣地。内陆藏龙卧虎，拥有的高手数不胜数，便是这被认为是荒蛮之地的外海，也有不少宗门家族，同样散修也很多。
Although he had concealed his true strength, it didn't take long for him to reach the scene.
dāng rán shí lì yǔ nèi lù xiāng bǐ ， nà shì yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。
当然实力与内陆相比，那是远远不及。
A battle raged before his eyes. Two cultivators were fighting a ferocious monster. One was a man in early-stage condensation realm, while the other was a young woman around seventeen or eighteen years old, with mid-stage condensation realm cultivation level.
bù guò měi gè dì fāng ， zǒng yǒu yī xiē tè chǎn ， hǎi yáng shēn chù ， duō shǎo yǒu yī xiē nèi lù bù tài cháng jiàn de bǎo wù 。
不过每个地方，总有一些特产，海洋深处，多少有一些内陆不太常见的宝物。
The monster chasing them had a unique appearance—two-headed fish-like creatures with pink scales and infant-like cries. It could manipulate water arrows to an incredible degree.
zhè rù hǎi chéng shì xiū shì men jìn rù hǎi yáng shēn chù de zhōng zhuǎn xiē jiǎo zhī suǒ ， yǒu jià zhí de dōng xī bù duō ， bù guò liǎo jiě yī xiē fēng tǔ rén qíng hái shì méi yǒu wèn tí de 。
这入海城是修士们进入海洋深处的中转歇脚之所，有价值的东西不多，不过了解一些风土人情还是没有问题的。
It was a third-stage middle-grade monster, which explained why the two couldn't hold their own.
cǐ shí lín xuān zhàn zài yī jiā diàn pù ， shǒu zhōng ná zhe yī méi hǎi lán sè de yù tǒng ， guài yú tiān yá hǎi gé de xiāo xī ， jiù shì cóng lǐ suǒ de 。
此时林轩站在一家店铺，手中拿着一枚海蓝色的玉筒，怪鱼天涯海阁的消息，就是从里所得。
Lin Xuan didn’t interfere but watched from the side.
bì jìng zài wài hǎi zōng mén zhī zhōng ， tiān yá hǎi gé shì jué duì de páng rán dà wù ， guà yú tā men de xiāo xī hěn duō ， lín xuān ráo yǒu xìng qù de kàn zhe 。
毕竟在外海宗门之中，天涯海阁是绝对的庞然大物，挂于他们的消息很多，林轩饶有兴趣的看着。
"Brother, you must leave! Don't worry about me; otherwise, both of us will end up in the belly of this fish," the young woman said anxiously.
wèi le bù yǐn rén zhǔ mù ， tā yě huàn le yī jiàn shì yàng bù tóng de qīng shān ， wán quán shì yī fù hǎi wài xiū shì de dǎ bàn 。
为了不引人瞩目，他也换了一件式样不同的青衫，完全是一副海外修士的打扮。
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm your only brother, and my parents passed away early. It's my duty to take care of you. I won’t just watch as you meet your demise. Sister, go first; I'll try to hold back this monster," the man said while releasing a hook-shaped treasure and striking at the creature.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu mǎi le yī zhāng hǎi tú ， zài cǐ chéng lüè zuò xiē xī ， chī le yī xiē hǎi xiān ， dài jīng lì huí fù ， jiù huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi xiàng le hǎi yáng shēn chù 。
随后林轩又买了一张海图，在此城略作歇息，吃了一些海鲜，待精力回复，就化为一道惊虹，飞向了海洋深处。
Lin Xuan sighed. The man was a condensation realm cultivator but couldn't even use a treasure or spiritual weapon effectively, which explained why he couldn’t defeat the fish-like monster.
The cultivation scene in Youzhou was bustling, and various rumors naturally reached Lin Xuan's ears. Given his personality, he originally didn't want to get involved in too many grudges and grievances, but with the Wufo Sect breathing down his neck, it was clear that he and them were at odds.
Enemies of one’s enemies are friends, especially since he and the Tianya Hai Pavilion weren’t exactly outsiders. As for Qin Yan's relationship, they could be put aside for now; Meng Ruyan was his sworn sister!
From both reason and emotion, Lin Xuan had no intention of staying out of it. After all, with his current cultivation level, comparable to the Separation Realm, and with Moon’s fusion of true blood from the Deva True Blood Decree in the future, his abilities had surged to a point that was quite impressive.
With his master and servant teaming up, they could go anywhere in the world. It seemed like it was time for him to pay a visit to the Tianya Hai Pavilion.
Lin Xuan toyed with the jade cylinder in his hand, placing his hand on his forehead as he looked deep into space.
Three days later, a streak of lightning pierced through the sky from Jiuling Mountain and flew northward without stopping.
Lin Xuan had delayed his departure for three days because he had already made preparations for Baixuan Pavilion. He instructed Qing Nv to remain cautious during this critical period, not to provoke unnecessary conflicts but instead wait for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Qing Nv was relieved when she heard that from her master. She didn't want anything to go wrong while they were away since her precious disciple Zheng Xuan was still at Jiuling Mountain's main hall.
The Tianya Hai Pavilion ranked among Youzhou’s seven major forces, but its operational style differed greatly from the other six.
Among these seven factions, it was considered the most mysterious one. Legend had it that their sect resided on a fairy island in the overseas region, which technically didn't fall under Youzhou's jurisdiction and was categorized as an overseas sect.
The Tianya Hai Pavilion rarely intervened in matters within Youzhou, except for the shocking battle that occurred five hundred years ago, which left people with a lasting impression of this mysterious sect.
However, it did indeed trace its roots back to ancient times, though their rules were peculiar—only female cultivators could be accepted into the sect. Even if men had excellent spiritual root qualities, they couldn't join.
There were even rumors that any man who entered within two hundred miles of the island would be expelled by the sect's enforcers. If they left obediently, it was fine; otherwise, these beautiful female cultivators wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.
The fairy island occupied by the Tianya Hai Pavilion was a vast paradise with abundant spiritual veins and various rare treasures. The beauty, medicinal herbs, and exotic treasures combined made this sect incredibly alluring. However, after that battle where Meng Ruyan killed thousands of cultivators, leaving rivers of blood, no one dared to covet their power.
Nevertheless, many male cultivators still lingered around the area, as men were not allowed into the main hall but could marry female disciples if they fell in love.
From this perspective, the sect's rules had a certain degree of human touch; however, once married, even if a female disciple was powerful or held an important position within the sect, she couldn't return to the main hall without permission.
Of course, it wasn’t that she would be expelled from the sect entirely.
She would simply become an outer-cultivator instead.
Outer-cultivators were not allowed back into the main hall but could live on one of the thousands of small islands scattered around the giant fairy island. They could establish their own cultivation families and have children if they wished to rejoin the Tianya Hai Pavilion after passing certain evaluations.
In this way, the sect could continuously produce excellent disciples while having numerous cultivation families near the main hall, making it a formidable force indeed.
Lin Xuan's speed was extraordinary, but Youzhou was vast. After flying for an entire month without rest, he finally saw the boundless sea.
To avoid drawing attention, Lin Xuan used his recondite qi technique and transformed into an ordinary mid-stage condensation realm cultivator.
After spending a day in the city, Lin Xuan arrived at a common island.
This island was considered ordinary because its spiritual vein quality was extremely poor, unsuitable for cultivation; however, it had a city of cultivators.
The Sea City!
As the name suggested, beyond this city lay the depths of Youzhou's outer sea.
Speaking of Youzhou, it was indeed a holy land for cultivation. The inland region harbored countless hidden talents and experts, but even the outer sea, considered a savage place, had many sects and families as well as scattered cultivators.
Of course, their strength paled in comparison to those on the mainland.
However, every place had its unique specialties; some rare treasures from the depths of the ocean were not found inland.
The Sea City was where cultivators could rest while preparing for a journey into the sea. It wasn't rich in valuable items but provided an opportunity to learn about local customs and cultures.
Standing before a shop, Lin Xuan held a blue jade cylinder, which contained news about the Tianya Hai Pavilion.
Given that the Tianya Hai Pavilion was a major force among outer-sea sects, there were many records of their activities. Lin Xuan read with interest.
To avoid drawing attention, he changed his attire to a different style of green robe, adopting the appearance of an overseas cultivator.
After purchasing a map, Lin Xuan rested in the city and feasted on some seafood before resuming his journey into the ocean depths.
For ordinary cultivators, the dangers of the deep sea were numerous—fierce sea monsters and dangerous storms. Even those with lower cultivation levels could be overwhelmed by these threats.
Apart from old monsters at the Separation Realm level, most cultivators traveled in groups for safety.
While sipping tea in a tavern, Lin Xuan met several cultivators who wanted to team up with him. However, he politely declined their offer.
Lin Xuan glanced at his map and estimated that it would take a few days to reach the Tianya Hai Pavilion's fairy island based on his speed.
The vastness of the sea was breathtaking, and Lin Xuan had never seen such scenery before, which left him feeling refreshed.
Two days later, a streak of lightning pierced through the sky, just a few thousand miles from the Tianya Hai Pavilion’s fairy island.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's speed slowed as he turned to look at his left side. The only thing visible was the blue sea, but after releasing his divine sense, he detected something unusual—crackling sounds emanating from several miles away.
Though Lin Xuan didn't like meddling in others' affairs, this place was close to the Tianya Hai Pavilion. If it were one of their disciples in danger, he couldn’t ignore them out of reason and emotion.
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan flew towards the source of the sounds.
Although he had concealed his true strength, it didn't take long for him to reach the scene.
A battle raged before his eyes. Two cultivators were fighting a ferocious monster. One was a man in early-stage condensation realm, while the other was a young woman around seventeen or eighteen years old, with mid-stage condensation realm cultivation level.
The monster chasing them had a unique appearance—two-headed fish-like creatures with pink scales and infant-like cries. It could manipulate water arrows to an incredible degree.
It was a third-stage middle-grade monster, which explained why the two couldn't hold their own.
Lin Xuan didn’t interfere but watched from the side.
"Brother, you must leave! Don't worry about me; otherwise, both of us will end up in the belly of this fish," the young woman said anxiously.
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm your only brother, and my parents passed away early. It's my duty to take care of you. I won’t just watch as you meet your demise. Sister, go first; I'll try to hold back this monster," the man said while releasing a hook-shaped treasure and striking at the creature.
Lin Xuan sighed. The man was a condensation realm cultivator but couldn't even use a treasure or spiritual weapon effectively, which explained why he couldn’t defeat the fish-like monster.
