“ nà jiē xià lái fū jūn dǎ suàn rú hé ， yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé lián shǒu ， tóng wàn fú zōng sǐ zhàn dǐ me ?” yuàn yuàn xiù méi qīng tiāo de kāi kǒu le 。
“那接下来夫君打算如何，与天涯海阁联手，同万佛宗死战底么?”媛媛秀眉轻挑的开口了。
"Shall my lord plan to ally with the Boundless Sea Pavilion and fight the Thousand Buddha Sect to the bitter end?" YuanYuan raised her delicate eyebrows as she spoke.
“ nǐ shuō ne ?” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo shàng yáng ， bù shè jí shèng qíng zhī shì ， tā yòu huī fù le nà fù mǎn bù zài hū de shén qì ：“ wǒ wú yì yǔ wàn fú zōng wèi dí ， kě shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， zǎo yǐ méi yǒu le zhuǎn gù de yú dì ， qī pài zhī shǒu yòu rú hé ， tā men jì rán rě le wǒ ， zì rán zhǐ yǒu zūn tā men lián gēn bá chú wǒ cái kě yǐ ān xīn de 。“
“妳说呢?”林轩嘴角上扬，不涉及盛情之事，他又恢复了那副满不在乎的神气：“我无意与万佛宗为敌，可事情到了这一步，早已没有了转固的余地，七派之首又如何，他们既然惹了我，自然只有樽他们连根拔除我才可以安心的。“
"My lady, what do you think?" Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile. He was not one for pleasantries; his expression returned to its usual nonchalance: "I have no intention of making enemies with the Thousand Buddha Sect, but things have reached this point where there is no turning back. Regardless of how high up the Seven Sects' leader may be, since they provoked me, I must root them out completely."
ruò huàn yī míng nǚ zǐ ， huò xǔ huì dǎn qiè quàn shuō ， dàn yuàn yuàn bù tóng ， zhè wèi xī rì de kǒng què lǐng zhǔ ， yě shì wú fǎ wú tiān de rén wù ， qǐ lái què shí yǔ lín xuān xiù wèi xiāng tóu “ fū jūn shuō dé bù cuò ， rén bù fàn wǒ ， wǒ bù fàn rén ， wàn fú zōng jì rán rú cǐ guò fèn ， wǒ men jiù xiǎng bàn fǎ miè tā mǎn mén 。”〖 fú hào nèi yīng wén wèi gèng . xīn . zuì . kuài dì zhǐ 〗
若换一名女子，或许会胆怯劝说，但媛媛不同，这位昔日的孔雀领主，也是无法无天的人物，起来确实与林轩臭味相投“夫君说得不错，人不犯我，我不犯人，万佛宗既然如此过分，我们就想办法灭他满门。”〖符号内英文为更.新.最.快地址〗
If it were another woman, perhaps she would have hesitated to advise him, but YuanYuan was different. She had once been the Lady of the Peacock Clan and a law unto herself, sharing a similar mindset with Lin Xuan: "My lord is right. If they dare to provoke us, we must eliminate them completely."
tīng kǒng què zhè yàng shuō . lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū xīn chóu zhī sè ， dé qī rú cǐ ， fū fù hé qiú .，
听孔雀这样说.林轩脸上露出欣愁之色，得妻如此，夫复何求.，
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's face showed a mix of relief and gratitude. With such a wife, what more could he ask for?
sì zhèng yù kāi kǒu ， què tū rán shuāng méi yī zhòu ， liǎn shàng lù chū xiē xǔ tòng kǔ zhī sè 。
泗正欲开口，却突然双眉一皱，脸上露出些许痛苦之色。
Just as he was about to speak, his brows suddenly furrowed in pain.
“ fū jūn ， nǐ zěn me le ？” kǒng què máng guān xīn qián kāi kǒu 。
“夫君，你怎么了？”孔雀忙关心钤开口。
"My lord, what’s wrong?" The Peacock hurriedly asked with concern.
“ méi shì ， zhǐ shì yǔ shī wáng fù zǐ xiāng dòu de shí hòu ， fǎ lì xiāo hào tài duō ， yì zhí yòu méi yǒu · lái de jí tiáo xī dǎ zuò 。” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo jǐ chū yī sī kǔ xiào zhī sè ， xiān qū shǐ mó yuán jiàn yù dí ， hòu qín yòu shī zhǎn zhēn líng yī jī ， bù zhǐ hào jìn le fǎ lì ， duō shǎo hái kuī sǔn le xiē xǔ yuán qì 。
“没事，只是与狮王父子相斗的时候，法力消耗太多，一直又没有·来得及调息打坐。”林轩嘴角挤出一丝苦笑之色，先驱使魔缘剑御敌，后秦又施展真灵一击，不止耗尽了法力，多少还亏损了些许元气。
"It's nothing. I just expended too much mana fighting the Lion King and his son, and haven't had time to meditate," Lin Xuan forced a weak smile. He first used the Demon Fate Sword to fend off enemies, then unleashed a True Spirit Strike, depleting both his mana and some of his essence energy.
àn dào lǐ ， lín xuān yīng gāi mǎ shàng jìng yǎng chóu xī ， rán ér tā què gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shí jiān xiū xī ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhōng yú yǒu xiē zhī chēng bú zhù ， gǎn jué shēn tǐ nán shòu dào jí chù 。
按道理，林轩应该马上静养惆息，然而他却根本就没有时间休息，此时此刻，终于有些支撑不住，感觉身体难受到极处。
According to reason, Lin Xuan should have immediately rested, but he had no time for that. At this moment, he finally felt overwhelmed, his body in extreme discomfort.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， nà fū jūn kuài 、 zhī qiè shēn de dòng fǔ xiē xī 。’*
“原来如此，那夫君快、支妾身的洞府歇息。’*
"Then my lord, quickly enter your inner sanctuary to rest."
nòng qīng chǔ shì qíng de shǐ mò ， kǒng què bù zài dān gē ， hún shēn wǔ sè líng guāng yì qǐ ， méi lín xuān bāo guǒ ， xiàng qián fāng fēi lüè ér qù 。
弄清楚事情的始末，孔雀不再耽搁，浑身五色灵光一起，梅林轩包裹，像前方飞掠而去。
Having understood the situation, the Peacock no longer hesitated. She enveloped Lin Xuan with a five-colored aura and flew forward.
hěn kuài lái dào yī huán jìng qīng yōu de shān gǔ ， lín xuān suī rán hěn xū ruò ， què yě yī yǎn kàn chū cǐ chù
很快来到一环境清幽的山谷，林轩虽然很虚弱，却也一眼看出此处
Soon they arrived at a tranquil valley. Despite his weakness, Lin Xuan could see that this was YuanYuan's sanctum.
yuàn yuàn yù shǒu fān zhuǎn ， róu nèn de zhǎng xīn zhōng yǐ chū xiàn le yī kuài lìng pái ， yī dào hóng guāng gǎn shè rù . shēng miàn ， kōng qì rú shuǐ wén sōu huàng dòng ， yì zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de tōng dào chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng bǐ
媛媛玉手翻转，柔嫩的掌心中已出现了一块令牌，一道红光澉射入.笙面，空气如水纹艘晃动，一直径丈许的通道出现在了视线中匕
With a flick of her delicate fingers, a token appeared in her palm. A red light shot into the air, causing ripples to appear in the atmosphere. A tunnel about ten feet wide opened before their eyes.
suí hòu liǎng rén zài cì fēi rù ， shùn rú yī huā zhī hòu .， huán jìng biàn dé yǔ . zài shān liǎo wài . kàn jiàn de
随后两人再次飞入，瞬茹一花之后.，环境变得与.在山蓼外.看见的
The two entered again and found themselves in an environment vastly different from what they had seen outside.
dà bù xiāng tóng 。
大不相同。
"This is the Momentary Illusion Array."
“ xū yú huàn shù 。”
“须臾幻术。”
Lin Xuan was surprised. This was not a low-level illusion; he had read about it in *The Heavenly Origin Formation*.
lín xuān sǒng rán dòng róng . zhè kě yǔ dī jiē de zhàng yǎn huàn bìng bù xiāng tóng ， tā yě shì yīn wèi xǐ huān shè liè zá xué ， cái jiàn 《 tiān yuán zhèn yǒu tí guò 。
林轩耸然动容.这可与低阶的障眼涣并不相同，他也是因为喜欢涉猎杂学，才见《天元阵有提过。
It was a highly advanced illusion technique, said to originate from the妖族 and activated by their bloodline. It could only be awakened at the Separation Stage.
zhè shì yī zhǒng jí wéi gāo jí de huàn shù ， jū shuō qǐ yuán yú yāo zú ， shì yóu xuè mài suǒ jī fā de tè shū tiān fù ， ér qiě bì xū dào lí hé qī cái néng chū bù jué xǐng de 。
这是一种极为高级的幻术，椐说起源于妖族，是由血脉所激发的特殊天赋，而且必须到离合期才能初步觉醒的。
The Peacock clan was among those who possessed this ability.
qí zhōng jiù bāo kuò le kǒng què yī zú .
其中就包括了孔雀一族.
"Could this禁制 have been set up by the Five-Colored Fairy?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
“ zhè jìn zhì nán dào shì wǔ sè xiān zi chù xià de ？” lín xuān yǒu diǎn hào qí de shuō 。
“这禁制难道是五色仙子憷下的？”林轩有点好奇的说。
"Yes, my lord is indeed well-informed. My mother cares for you and wants to prevent anyone from disturbing your meditation. That's why she set up this Momentary Illusion Array. Even Separation Stage existences would be delayed for a while," the Peacock explained.
“ bù cuò ， fū jūn guǒ rán jiàn wén guǎng bó ， shì yì mǔ xīn téng yuàn měng ， pà yǒu rén dǎ rǎo le wǒ jìng xiū ， suǒ yǐ cái zài zhè lǐ shè xià xū yú huàn zhèn ， jiù suàn shì lí hé qī cún zài chuǎng rù ， yě néng zǔ dǎng yī huì er gōng fu 。
“不错，夫君果然见闻广博，是义母心疼媛锰，怕有人打扰了我静修，所以才在这里设下须臾幻阵，就算是离合期存在闯入，也能阻挡一会儿功夫。
"Ah."
“ ó 。
“哦。
Lin Xuan nodded, his expression thoughtful as he entered YuanYuan's sanctum with her.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè ， suí hòu liǎng rén yì qǐ jìn rù le kǒng
林轩点了点头，脸上露出若有所思之色，随后两人一起进入了孔
Unlike the usual secluded abode of cultivators, YuanYuan’s sanctuary was elegantly decorated, more like a princess's chamber than a place for seclusion.
què de dòng fǔ 。
雀的洞府。
"Do you need me to assist in your meditation?" she asked.
yǔ yì bān xiū shì de yǐn jū zhī chù bù tóng ， kǒng què de dòng fǔ bù zhì dé diǎn yǎ dé duō ， yǔ qí shuō dào qīng xiū zhī suǒ ， dào gèng yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng shì sú gōng zhǔ de guī fáng le 。
与一般修士的隐居之处不同，孔雀的洞府布置得典雅得多，与其说道清修之所，倒更有几分像世俗公主的闺房了。
"No need to rush. I just depleted my mana and lost some essence energy. A few minutes of sitting should restore it," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
“ fū jūn shì zì jǐ dǎ zuò tiáo xī ， hái shì xū yào qiè shēn zhù nǐ yī bì zhī lì ？“；
“夫君是自己打坐调息，还是需要妾身助你一臂之力？“；
"Very well. Then I'll stay outside and call if you need me." Despite being a woman, the Peacock's character did not allow her to act overly maternal. She raised her head and spoke again before turning to leave.
“ sōu yuàn pò ： bù yòng zháo jí ， wèi tiān zhǐ shì hào jìn fǎ lì ， bìng kuī sǔn le xiē yuán qì ér yǐ ， zhǐ xiāo dǎ zuò jǐ miè jí kě huī fù ， yuàn jiāo yuán zài wài bāng wǒ hù fǎ jiù hǎo le bǐ ” lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， jǐ chū yī sī xiào róng de kāi kǒu 。
“艘媛珀：不用着急，为天只是耗尽法力，并亏损了些元气而已，只消打坐几灭即可恢复，媛姣辕在外帮我护法就好了匕”林轩抬起头，挤出一丝笑容的开口。
The room was left only for Lin Xuan. But as soon as he closed his eyes, a beautiful girl appeared in front of him. Yue'er lived in the Celestial Mechanism Mansion and had been by Lin Xuan's side constantly, so she naturally knew everything that happened. However, her jealousy was more about pretending to be upset rather than genuine.
“ hǎo . nà qiè shēn jiù zài wài miàn ， fū jūn yǒu shì chuán yīn jiào wǒ 。” kǒng què suī shì nǚ zǐ ， dàn yǐ tā de xìng gé ， zuò shì qíng zì rán bú huì wù pó mā mā de ， lì kè tái qǐ tóu ， rú cǐ zhè bān de kāi kǒu 。
“好.那妾身就在外面，夫君有事传音叫我。”孔雀虽是女子，但以她的性格，做事情自然不会婺婆妈妈的，立刻抬起头，如此这般的开口。
Still, what did it matter? The Lady Peacock had been with the young master for a long time, and she never objected before. Now, expressing any disagreement would seem too ridiculous.
suí hòu zài shēn shēn de kàn le shī jūn yī yǎn ， biàn zhuǎn shēn fēi xiàng wài miàn 。 jìng shì zhōng biàn zhǐ shèng xià lín xuān 。 kě bái guāng yī shǎn hòu ， yī wèi měi mào rú huā de shào nǚ yòu chū xiàn zài yǎn qián 。 yuè ér jū zhù zài tiān jī fǔ ， yǔ lín xuān xíng yǐng bù lí ， suǒ fā shēng de yī qiè tā zì rán kàn zài yǎn shuō xīn zhōng yì diǎn yě bù chī cù zì rán shì piàn rén de 。 kě nà yòu rú hé ， kǒng què jiě jiě hěn zǎo jiù yǔ shào yé zài yì qǐ liǎo dàng chū zì jǐ yě bù céng fǎn duì guò ， xiàn zài zài biǎo shì yì yì wèi miǎn yě tài kě xiào le bǐ
随后再深深的看了失君一眼，便转身飞向外面。静室中便只剩下林轩。可白光一闪后，一位美貌如花的少女又出现在眼前。月儿居住在天机府，与林轩形影不离，所发生的一切她自然看在眼说心中一点也不吃醋自然是骗人的。可那又如何，孔雀姐姐很早就与少爷在一起了当初自己也不曾反对过，现在再表示异议未免也太可笑了匕
In his past life as the Arrogant King of the Asuras, he had led millions of demons and ghosts to slaughter the Spirit Realm, making him decisive in matters. But this life was vastly different.
qián shì ā xiū luó wáng céng shuài lǐng bǎi wàn yāo guǐ ， jiāng líng jiè shā le gè xuè liú chéng hé ， zì rán shì shā fá jué duàn de rén wù ， rán ér zhè bèi zi yuè ér què dà bù xiāng tóng 。
前世阿修罗王曾率领百万妖鬼，将灵界杀了个血流成河，自然是杀伐决断的人物，然而这辈子月儿却大不相同。
The young girl was weak-willed and a typical good girl. She felt a bit jealous but didn't want to show it, so she acted like an ostrich in the Celestial Mechanism Mansion.
xiǎo yā tou xìng gé róu ruò ， shì biāo zhǔn de guāi guāi nǚ 。
小丫头性格柔弱，是标准的乖乖女。
Only when the Peacock left did Yue'er reappear.
qī zhōng yǒu diǎn chī cù ， yòu jué de bù gāi fā huǒ ， yú shì gàn guāng qīng zài tiān jī fǔ zhōng dāng tuó niǎo le 。
七中有点吃醋，又觉得不该发火，于是干胱轻在天机府中当鸵鸟了。
Of course, she wasn't here to scold Lin Xuan; seeing him pale and weak made her heartache. Any lingering resentment was quickly forgotten.
zhí dào kǒng què lí kāi ， yuè ér lìn yòu chóng xīn chū lái 。
直到孔雀离开，月儿吝又重新出来。
"Young Master, how do you feel? Can I help with anything?"
dāng rán . tā kě bú shì zhǎo lín xuān xīng shī wèn zuì ， jiàn shào yé liǎn qīng chún bái ， yuè ér zǎo jiù xīn téng dé bù dé le ， xiē xǔ de bù kuài ， yě bèi pāo dào le jiǔ xiāo yún wài 。
当然.她可不是找林轩兴师问罪，见少爷脸青唇白，月儿早就心疼得不得了，些许的不快，也被抛到了九霄云外。
"Don't worry, Yue'er," Lin Xuan said apologetically but tenderly. "I can meditate on my own..."
“ shào yé ， nǐ gǎn jué rú hé ， yǒu xiǎo bì néng bāng shàng máng de ？“
“少爷，你感觉如何，有小婢能帮上忙的？“
Before he could finish, his brows furrowed deeper. He had taken some elixirs but hadn't meditated yet; most of the medicinal power remained in his dantian.
“ yuè ér ， bù yòng dān xīn 。 lín xuān yǒu xiē qiàn yì ér chǒng nì de kàn le yī yǎn shēn xiāo de ， shào nǚ ，“ wǒ zì jǐ dǎ zuò jiù xíng ……”
“月儿，不用担心。林轩有些歉意而宠溺的看了一眼身萧的，少女，“我自己打坐就行……”
This was harmful to his body, so Lin Xuan closed his eyes and used Inner Vision...
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān de méi tóu què zhòu dé gēng shēn le ， suī rán tā yǐ fú shí le yī xiē líng dān ， ér bìng wèi dǎ zuò tiáo xī ， jué dà bù fèn yào lì dōu méi yǒu jìn rù jīng mài lǐ miàn 。 ér shì yī jiù wéi yú dān tián 。
话音未落，林轩的眉头却皱得更深了，虽然他已服食了一些灵丹，而并未打坐调息，绝大部分药力都没有进入经脉里面。而是依旧围于丹田。
Thus, Lin Xuan began restoring his lost essence energy.
zhè yàng zhào shàng qù ， duì shēn tǐ yǒu hài wú yì ， lín guō bù gǎn jì xù dān gē xià qù ， bì shàng shuāng móu ， shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ……
这样罩上去，对身体有害无益，林郭不敢继续耽搁下去，闭上双眸，施展内视之术……
For another cultivator, this would take at least half a month. But Lin Xuan's mana far surpassed that of his peers.
rú cǐ ， lín xuān jiù tiáo xī huī fù qǐ kuī sǔn de yuán qì 。
如此，林轩就调息恢复起亏损的元气。
Firstly,
rú guǒ huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， zhì shǎo yě xū yào bàn yuè de gōng fu ， dàn lín xuān běn shēn de fǎ lì ， què yuǎn fēi tóng jiē xiū shì kě bǐ 。
如果换一名修仙者，至少也需要半月的功夫，但林轩本身的法力，却远非同阶修士可比。
Secondly, he had plenty of elixirs to consume.
cǐ qí yī bǐ
此其一匕
So, in just three days, he was back in top condition.
èr lái ， tā yòu yǒu dà liàng de dān yào kě yǐ tūn fú 。
二来，他又有大量的丹药可以吞服。
Lin Xuan opened his eyes but did not emerge from seclusion. Instead, he stretched out a hand and summoned an jade bottle from his waist.
suǒ yǐ jǐn huā le sān tiān ， jiù huī fù dào zuì jiā zhuàng tài 。
所以仅花了三天，就恢复到最佳状态。
Opening the lid, the fragrance filled the air as a dragon eye-sized Dragon Nucleus pill appeared before him.
lín xuān zhēng kāi le yǎn ， dàn què bìng wèi chū guān ， ér shì shēn chū shǒu lái .， zài yāo jiān yī zhāo ， yí gè · yù píng jiù fú xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
林轩睁开了眼，但却并未出关，而是伸出手来.，在腰间一招，一个·玉瓶就浮现在了面前。
Alluring Heavenly Pill.
fú kāi píng sāi ， fāng xiāng mǎn yì ， yī lǒu lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de lóng dān wán yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ 。
扶开瓶塞，芳香满溢，一搂龙眼大小的龙丹丸映入了眼帘里。
This was the pill Lin Xuan obtained after eliminating the Heavenly Lion Sage.
mèi huò tiān xuán dān 。
魅惑天玄丹。
While it wasn't immediately useful to Lin Xuan, it could eliminate the晋级阵法 that appeared during the晋级 process for妖族.
cǐ wù nǎi shì lín xuān miè shā yāo shī shàng rén suǒ de 。
此物乃是林轩灭杀夭狮上人所得。
Of course, different races encountered different bottlenecks when advancing. Since YuanYuan and the Five-Colored Fairy were both from the Peacock Clan, if their mother faced such a bottleneck, YuanYuan would face the same challenge.
duì yú lín xuān zàn shí méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， dàn què kě yǐ xiāo chú yāo zú jìn jí shí shì xīn jiàn zhī zhèn de 。
对于林轩暂时没有用处，但却可以消除妖族晋级时饰心见之阵的。
Although they had met by chance, Lin Xuan knew that before reaching the Profound Origin Stage, they could not be together for long. They must separate temporarily.
dāng rán . yāo zú zhǒng lèi wàn qiān ， bù tóng de zhǒng zú jìn jí shí suǒ yù dào de píng jǐng yě gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn yuàn jiāo yǔ wǔ sè xiān zi dōu shì kǒng què yī zú ， qí yì mǔ jì rán huì yù dào zhè yàng de píng jǐng ， nà ài fēi xiū dào tóng yàng de jìng jiè yě shì yī yàng de 。
当然.妖族种类万千，不同的种族晋级时所遇到的瓶颈也各不相同，但媛姣与五色仙子都是孔雀一族，其义母既然会遇到这样的瓶颈，那嫒妃修到同样的境界也是一样的。
So, in preparation for her breakthrough, Lin Xuan decided to purify this Alluring Heavenly Pill.
liǎng rén suī rán yì wài xiàng yù ， dàn lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zài jìn jí dòng xuán yǐ qián shì bù kě néng zhǎng
两人虽然意外相遇，但林轩心中有数，在晋级洞玄以前是不可能长
Holding it in his palm, he used Inner Vision and saw both his inner infants full of vitality. Satisfied, he began调动 the blue starlight, which flowed through his meridians and into his hand.
"Shall my lord plan to ally with the Boundless Sea Pavilion and fight the Thousand Buddha Sect to the bitter end?" YuanYuan raised her delicate eyebrows as she spoke.
"My lady, what do you think?" Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile. He was not one for pleasantries; his expression returned to its usual nonchalance: "I have no intention of making enemies with the Thousand Buddha Sect, but things have reached this point where there is no turning back.

"Mmm."
If it were another woman, perhaps she would have hesitated to advise him, but YuanYuan was different. She had once been the Lady of the Peacock Clan and a law unto herself, sharing a similar mindset with Lin Xuan: "My lord is right. If they dare to provoke us, we must eliminate them completely."
