zuò wèi lí hé hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， wàng tíng lóu biàn shì pò suì xū kōng yě yǒu qī chéng de bǎ wò ， qí shí lì zhī qiáng ，．
做为离合后期的修仙者，望亭楼便是破碎虚空也有七成的把握，其实力之强，．
As a cultivator at the Separation and Union后期 stage, Wang Tinglou had a 70% chance of breaking through the Void. His strength was formidable indeed.
jìn sān bǎi nián lái ， tíng lóu yǐ bù wèn shì shì ， yī xīn chōng jī dà yuán mǎn ， fǒu zé tā ruò shì huái yǒu yě xīn bào fù ， yī tǒng rén zú ， yě bú shì bù kě néng de 。
近三百年来，亭楼已不问世事，一心冲击大圆满，否则他若是怀有野心报复，一统人族，也不是不可能的。
For nearly three hundred years, Wang Tinglou had withdrawn from worldly affairs, focusing solely on reaching Great Perfection. Otherwise, if he harbored ambitions for revenge or unification, it wouldn't be impossible.
zhè cì tiān yá hǎi gé yǔ wàn fú zōng chōng tū ， yuán běn zhòng rén yǐ wéi tíng lóu huì chū miàn gān shè ， nǎ zhī dào tā què zhì ruò wǎng wén ， zuì hòu gèng mò míng qí miào de xiāo shī diào le 。
这次天涯海阁与万佛宗冲突，原本众人以为亭楼会出面干涉，哪知道他却置若罔闻，最后更莫名其妙的消失掉了。
This time, when the conflict between the Borderless Sea Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect arose, everyone originally expected Wang Tinglou to intervene. However, not only did he ignore them, but he also vanished mysteriously in the end.
tíng lóu kǔ liàn rú bīng xiān zi ， bì jìng yǐ shì bā bǎi nián qián de shì ， huì xuán cóng zhǒng zhǒng jì xiàng tuī cè ， yǐ wéi tā bú huì piān tǎn tiān yá hǎi gé ， suǒ yǐ cái huì yǔ lì hún gǔ lián hé ，！ wàng tú jiāng yíng zhōu dǎo gōng pò ， nǎ zhī dào guān jiàn shí kè ， zhè lǎo guài wù què hái shì chū xiàn le 。
亭楼苦恋如冰仙子，毕竟已是八百年前的事，慧玄从种种迹象推测，以为他不会偏袒天涯海阁，所以才会与厉魂谷联合，！妄图将瀛洲岛攻破，哪知道关键时刻，这老怪物却还是出现了。
Wang Tinglou had long been infatuated with Ice Fairy Lady, after all, it was something from eight hundred years ago. Huixuan deduced from various signs that Wang Tinglou wouldn't favor the Borderless Sea Pavilion and thus allied with Li Hai's Soul Valley! They attempted to breach Yizhou Island, but at a critical moment, this old monster still appeared.
yòu jīng yòu nù ， què jiàn nà rú páo xiū shì yī zhǐ diǎn chū ， hóng guāng yī shǎn ， yī zhī jié bái rú yù de dà shǒu guǐ yì fú xiàn ， yī bǎ zhuā zhù le huì xuán gāng gāng jì chū de xiān jiàn 。
又惊又怒，却见那儒袍修士一指点出，红光一闪，一只洁白如玉的大手诡异浮现，一把抓住了慧玄刚刚祭出的仙剑。
Surprised and angered, he saw a robed cultivator pointing his finger. A red light flashed, and an ethereal white hand materialized, seizing Huixuan’s just-summoned immortal sword.
jǔ zhòng ruò qīng ， sī háo bù dài rén jiān yān huǒ ， rán ér huì xuán tóng kǒng wēi suō ， shén shí zài rú páo xiū shì shēn shàng sǎo guò ， liǎn sè què fǎn ér qīng sōng xià lái le ：“ nǐ bú shì zhēn zhèng de wàng tíng lóu ？”
举重若轻，丝毫不带人间烟火，然而慧玄瞳孔微缩，神识在儒袍修士身上扫过，脸色却反而轻松下来了：“你不是真正的望亭楼？”
With ease, the cultivator effortlessly grabbed it. Huixuan's pupils constricted as his divine sense swept over the robed cultivator, but his expression relaxed: "You're not the true Wang Tinglou?"
yǎn qián xiū shì de shén tōng suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn yǔ rén jiè dì yī de míng hào yuǎn yuǎn bù fú ， bù guò shì tíng lóu suǒ xiū liàn de yī jù shēn wài huà shēn bà le 。
眼前修士的神通虽然非同小可，但与人界第一的名号远远不符，不过是亭楼所修炼的一具身外化身罢了。
Though the cultivator's abilities were formidable, they fell far short of the first-name status he was known for; merely a manifestation cultivated by Wang Tinglou. His realm had only just reached Separation and Union.
jìng jiè yě bù guò gāng dào lí hé 。
境界也不过刚到离合。
Huixuan’s thoughts raced. Should he continue attacking the Borderless Sea Pavilion or retreat?
huì xuán nǎo hǎi zhōng zhū bān niàn tou shǎn guò ， shì yīng gāi jì xù jìn gōng tiān yá hǎi gé ， hái shì jiù cǐ tuì
慧玄脑海中诸般念头闪过，是应该继续进攻天涯海阁，还是就此退
After much deliberation, he couldn't bear to stop because of Wang Tinglou's interference. Besides, his opponent merely sent a manifestation out. But continuing would likely make him an enemy of this top-tier expert. Huixuan knew that Wang Tinglou’s abilities were beyond his reach.
zǒu 。
走。
Just as he was indecisive, his subordinate sent a long-distance talisman.
móu huà liáng jiǔ ， yīn wèi wàng tíng lóu de gān shè jiù yǎn qí xī gǔ zhe shí xīn yǒu bù gān ， hé kuàng duì fāng zhǐ bù guò pài le yī shēn wài huà shēn chū lái 。
谋划良久，因为望亭楼的干涉就偃旗息鼓着实心有不甘，何况对方只不过派了一身外化身出来。
He learned that the main force hadn't rushed to the Borderless Sea Pavilion but instead clashed with other sects in the outer sea. Huixuan nearly popped out of his eyes.
kě jì xù dǎ xià qù ， xiǎn rán huì yǔ zhè wèi rén jiè dì yī gāo shǒu chéng wéi sǐ dí 。 tíng lóu de shén tōng huì xuán xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， jué bú shì zì jǐ kě yǐ duì fù 。 zhèng dāng tā jǔ qí bù dìng de shí hòu ， què shōu dào le shǔ xià fā lái de wàn lǐ fú 。
可继续打下去，显然会与这位人界第一高手成为死敌。亭楼的神通慧玄心中有数，绝不是自己可以对付。正当他举棋不定的时候，却收到了属下发来的万里符。
However, the long-distance talisman wasn’t mistaken; it indeed came from one of his trusted subordinates. Amidst his grief and anger, he realized that something unforeseen had likely occurred.
dé zhī dà duì rén mǎ bìng méi yǒu gǎn wǎng tiān yá hǎi gé ， ér shì yǔ wài hǎi de qí tā mén pài fā shēng chōng tū ， huì xuán chà diǎn jiāng yǎn jīng dèng chū 。
得知大队人马并没有赶往天涯海阁，而是与外海的其他门派发生冲突，慧玄差点将眼睛瞪出。
No use fighting anymore; he needed to retreat.
rán ér wàn lǐ fú bìng méi yǒu cuò ， què shí shì zì jǐ xīn fù fā guò lái de ， huì xuán bēi fèn zhī yú ， yě zhī dào kǒng pà fā shēng le zì jǐ yù kē zhī wài de biàn gù 。
然而万里符并没有错，确实是自己心腹发过来的，慧玄悲愤之余，也知道恐怕发生了自己预科之外的变故。
A seasoned monk like this old one could easily pick up and put down such matters. Though reluctant, Huixuan quickly withdrew.
huí tiān fá shù ， nà jiù bù yòng jì xù jiān chí le 。
回天乏术，那就不用继续坚持了。
However, Fairy Lady Ruyan almost died at his hands. Given her nature, she wouldn’t let it go so easily. A sharp cry echoed as her immortal sword flashed, casting a dense green shadow that obscured half the sky.
néng gòu jìn jiē lí hé ， zhè lǎo hé shàng zì rán shì ná de qǐ ， fàng dé xià de rén wù ， yǎn zhōng suī shǎn guò bù gān zhī sè ， dàn hái shì lì kè chōu shēn xiàng hòu tuì zǒu 。
能够进阶离合，这老和尚自然是拿得起，放得下的人物，眼中虽闪过不甘之色，但还是立刻抽身向后退走。
Wang Tinglou had already intervened; he wouldn't hesitate. He tapped his waist, and a peculiar golden pen shot out.
rán ér rú yān xiān zi gāng gāng chà diǎn sǐ zài tā de shǒu lǐ ， yǐ cǐ nǚ de xìng gé ， qǐ huì shàn bà gān xiū ， yī shēng jiāo chì ， xiān jiàn shǎn shuò ， céng céng dié dié de bì yǐng zhē dǎng zhù le bàn biān tiān kōng 。
然而如嫣仙子刚刚差点死在他的手里，以此女的性格，岂会善罢甘休，一声娇叱，仙剑闪烁，层层叠叠的碧影遮挡住了半边天空。
On the other side, the stench of death surged as Clear Origin Corpse King's body was enveloped in thick, tangible mist. The sound of bones cracking filled his ears, and an ominous aura emerged.
wàng tíng lóu jì yǐ chū shǒu ， zì rán yě bú huì tuō ní dài shuǐ shén me ， shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī shì yàng qí tè de jīn rùn bǐ fēi lüè chū lái 。
望亭楼既已出手，自然也不会拖泥带水什么，伸手在腰间一拍，一式样奇特的金润笔飞掠出来。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan frowned, looking to his left. Green Illusory Fire had already gained the upper hand against Corpse Fiery Flame, with gray-white corpse flames being consumed layer by layer.
lìng yī biān ， shī qì pēn bó ， qīng yuán shī wáng de zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， bèi yī céng ruò yǒu shí zhì dì nóng wù bāo guǒ ， gē bēng gē bēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī gǔ xiōng lì zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
另一边，尸气喷薄，清源尸王的整个身体，被一层若有实质的浓雾包裹，咯嘣咯嘣的声音传入耳朵，一股凶戾之气沛然而出。
Lin Xuan's eyes glinted as he waved his hand, and Green Illusory Fire returned to his palm. But amidst the green hue, a hint of gray white appeared—corpse poison.
jiàn le cǐ mù ， lín xuān méi tóu huī zhòu ， tái qǐ tóu ， wàng xiàng zuǒ cè ， bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ duì fāng xī shī yàn yī fān zhēng dòu ， yǐ rán dà zhàn shàng fēng ， huī bái sè de shī huǒ bèi céng céng bāo guǒ ， zhú jiàn tūn shì diào le 。
见了此幕，林轩眉头徽皱，抬起头，望向左侧，碧幻幽火与对方嬉尸焰一番争斗，已然大占上风，灰白色的尸火被层层包裹，逐渐吞噬掉了。
Lin Xuan’s face lit up with joy. The corpse poison in this old monster’s body was formidable; after refining it, Green Illusory Fire's power would increase significantly.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn shuò ， yī zhāo shǒu ， bì huàn yōu huǒ jiù huí dào le tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng ， rán ér zài yī piàn bì lǜ zhī sè ， què duō le yì diǎn huī bái zhī sè 。
林轩眼中精芒闪烁，一招手，碧幻幽火就回到了他的掌心之中，然而在一片碧绿之色，却多了一点灰白之色。
However, he had no time for such matters now.
cǐ nǎi shī dú 。
此乃尸毒。
He raised his left hand, and the demonic flames reformed into a grotesque giant snake, viciously lunging at the opponent. With his right hand, he summoned a text from behind him, where a faint phoenix shadow emerged. A clear cry followed as it gradually took shape, its wings spreading widely before shooting forward.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xīn xǐ zhī sè ， lí hé qī lǎo guài wù tǐ nèi de shī dú fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jiāng qí liàn huà yǐ hòu ， bì huàn yōu huǒ de xū néng yòu kě yǐ dà zēng bù shǎo de 。
林轩脸上露出一丝欣喜之色，离合期老怪物体内的尸毒非同小可，将其炼化以后，碧幻幽火的戌能又可以大增不少的。
Lin Xuan didn't stop there; he reached for his waist and activated his spirit beast pouch. A spell was cast on it, causing a buzzing sound to erupt. Purple-red insect clouds appeared above him, swirling and rushing towards the corpse cloud.
dāng rán cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín cǎo bo méi yǒu shí jiān zuò cǐ shì de 。
当然此时此刻，林草卜没有时间做此事的。
Meanwhile, Black Gold Dragon Armor shield floated beside him, ensuring that he wouldn’t give the opponent an opportunity to strike back.
zuǒ shǒu yī yáng ， cǐ mó yán chóng xīn huàn huà wèi yī zhēng níng jù mǎng ， è hěn hěn de pū xiàng le duì fāng 。
左手一扬，此魔炎重新幻化为一狰狞巨蟒，恶狠狠的扑向了对方。
Roar!
yòu shǒu yī wò ， wén zì lái zì ， bèi hòu yǐn yǐn yǒu fèng huáng de xū yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， yī shēng qīng míng yǐ hòu ， yě zhú jiàn qīng xī qǐ lái ， shuāng chì yī zhǎn ， tǐ xíng zhòu rán péng zhàng ， jī shè xiàng qián fāng 。
右手一握，文字来自，背后隐隐有凤凰的虚影浮现而出，一声清鸣以后，也逐渐清晰起来，双翅一展，体型骤然膨胀，激射像前方。
The roar of a wild beast echoed in his ears. Clear Origin Corpse King didn't want to endure it; with the stench of death enveloping him, he shot towards the distance.
yǔ lín xuān hái bù bà shǒu ， zài yāo jiān yī zhāi ， jiāng líng shòu dài yě jì le qǐ lái ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ zài shàng miàn ， dùn shí wēng míng shēng dà qǐ ， zǐ hóng sè de chóng yún chū xiàn zài tóu dǐng 。
雨林轩还不罢手，在腰间一摘，将灵兽袋也祭了起来，一道法诀打在上面，顿时嗡鸣声大起，紫红色的虫云出现在头顶。
Lin Xuan chased after Green Illusory Fire and the golden phoenix.
pán xuán fēi wǔ ， xiàng shī yún fēng yōng ér qù le 。
盘旋飞舞，像尸云蜂拥而去了。
However, as an old monster at the Separation and Union stage, his evasion techniques were extremely mysterious. Without using teleportation spells, even Snow White Fox King’s spear had no effect.
ér wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn zé xuán fú zài shēn cè ， lín xuān zài gōng jī de tóng shí ， yě bú huì gěi duì fāng yǐ
而乌金龙甲盾则悬浮在身侧，林轩在攻击的同时，也不会给对方以
Such a prolonged chase was not in his favor. Lin Xuan was deeply frustrated but couldn't think of a good plan quickly.
kě chèn zhī jī 。
可趁之机。
Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Nine giant swords rose slowly, the closest one being red and only ten miles away.
hǒu !
吼!
Ancient incantations filled the air as the red sword flashed, separating countless sword lights that dazzled him. Even with his extensive experience, Lin Xuan was taken aback by the sheer number—over a hundred thousand sword energies. The power of such a quantity was formidable even for low-grade fire spells in the Five Elements.
fǎng rú yě shòu páo xiāo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qīng yuán shī wáng zì rán bù yuàn yì yìng jiē yìng káng ， bèi shī qì bāo bì ， xiàng zhe yuǎn fāng jī shè 。
仿如野兽咆哮的声音传入耳朵，清源尸王自然不愿意硬接硬扛，被尸气包襞，向着远方激射。
Was this nine palaces sword array too powerful? Lin Xuan didn't know that within the mortal realm, the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array was indeed one of the supreme prohibitions. During the battle against demons and monsters, it had slain countless enemies, including many at the Separation and Union stage.
yǔ lín xuān zé cāo zòng bì huàn yōu huǒ yǔ nà jīn guāng shǎn shǎn de fèng huáng jǐn zhuī bù shě 。
雨林轩则操纵碧幻幽火与那金光闪闪的凤凰紧追不舍。
Unlike ordinary protective arrays, this required crystal stones to fill and earth’s primordial energy as a supplement, necessitating its placement in an upper-grade spirit vein.
kě zuò wéi lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， duì fāng de dùn shù shén miào yǐ jí ， yòu méi yǒu shǐ yòng shùn yí zhī lèi de fǎ shù ， nà dé bái xuě hú wáng de zhǎng gē yě méi yǒu xiào guǒ 。
可作为离合期老怪物，对方的遁术神妙以极，又没有使用瞬移之类的法术，那得白雪狐王的长戈也没有效果。
Once set up, the array continuously absorbed surrounding qi and stored it.
zhè yàng tuō xià qù kě duì shào jǐ bù lì 。 lín xuān xīn zhōng ào shí yǐ jí ， kě yī shí piàn kè ， yòu xiǎng bú dào hǎo zhǔ yì 。
这样拖下去可对哨己不利。林轩心中懊蚀以极，可一时片刻，又想不到好主意。
The Borderless Sea Pavilion had never encountered danger beyond raiding Luo Family Headquarters; this qi was already stored for a million years. Once activated, its power would be awe-inspiring.
jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ ， zhǐ jiàn nà jiǔ bǐng jù jiàn rǎn rǎn ér qǐ ， qí zhōng jù lí tā men zuì jìn de shì yī bǐng hóng sè de jù jiàn ， zhǐ yǒu shí yú lǐ yuǎn 。
就在这时，异变突起，只见那九柄巨剑冉冉而起，其中距离他们最近的是一柄红色的巨剑，只有十余里远。
However, everything has its drawbacks. For the mortal realm, the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array indeed possessed supreme power, but using it meant it couldn't be reactivated for at least thirty thousand years.
yī zhèn gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà hóng sè de jù jiàn yī shǎn ， wú shù jiàn guāng cóng lǐ miàn fēn lí chū lái ， yào yǎn cì mù ， lín xuān yě suàn jiàn shí guǎng bó ， kě kàn zhuó yǎn qián de yí mù ， yě bù yóu de sǒng rán dòng róng le 。
一阵古朴的咒语声传入耳朵，那红色的巨剑一闪，无数剑光从里面分离出来，耀眼刺目，林轩也算见识广博，可看着眼前的一幕，也不由得耸然动容了。
In other words, if the Borderless Sea Pavilion faced annihilation in the distant future, they would be defenseless.
nà jiàn qì jū rán yǒu shí yú wàn zhī duō ， rú cǐ shù liàng ， jiù suàn shì wǔ xíng zhōng zuì dī jiē de huǒ dàn shù ， yě lìng rén cè mù ， hé kuàng nà jiàn guāng de wēi lì ， jué duì shì bù xiǎo de 。
那剑气居然有十余万之多，如此数量，就算是五行中最低阶的火弹术，也令人侧目，何况那剑光的威力，绝对是不小的。
Of course, he could worry about that later. The immediate concern was to resolve this crisis.
jiù suàn shì qī dà shì lì zhī yī ， zhè jiǔ gōng jiàn zhèn de wēi lì shì bú shì yě tài dà le xiē 。
就算是七大势力之一，这九宫剑阵的威力是不是也太大了些。
As for the array's mysteries, even the Borderless Sea Pavilion knew very few details; Huixuan and Corpse King’s spouses had sent many spies but couldn't uncover such information.
lín xuān què bìng bù qīng chǔ ， jiù rén jiè lái shuō ， zhè jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn què shí shì shǔ yī shǔ èr de jìn fǎ le ， dāng nián jué zhàn yāo mó ， wén zì lái zì ， cǐ zhèn kě zhǎn shā qiáng dí wú shù ， shèn zhì bāo kuò bù shǎo lí hé qī cún zài de 。
林轩却并不清楚，就人界来说，这九宫须臾剑阵确实是数一数二的禁法了，当年决战妖魔，文字来自，此阵可斩杀强敌无数，甚至包括不少离合期存在的。
In the sky, a beautiful young woman in imperial attire floated. Lin Xuan's gaze swept over her face, his expression filled with shock.
kǔn ； yǔ yì bān de hù pài dà zhèn bìng bù xiāng tóng ， cǐ zhèn chú le xū yào jīng shí tián chōng ， hái yào tiān
悃；与一般的护派大阵并不相同，此阵除了需要晶石填充，还要天
Cloud Fairy Lady.
dì yuán qì zuò wèi bǔ chōng ， suǒ yǐ bì xū shè zài shàng pǐn líng mài zhī suǒ 。
地元气做为补充，所以必须设在上品灵脉之所。
Sister said that Qin Yan was in seclusion due to an accidental ingestion of immortal fruit; could she have woken up?
shè hǎo yǐ hòu ， cǐ zhèn jiù huì bù tíng de xī qǔ zhōu wéi de líng qì ， bìng chǔ cún qǐ lái 。
设好以后，此阵就会不停的吸取周围的灵气，并储存起来。
Nine ancient swords hovered around Qin Yan’s body, identical to those seen before. Was she operating the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array?
As a cultivator at the Separation and Union后期 stage, Wang Tinglou had a 70% chance of breaking through the Void. His strength was formidable indeed.
For nearly three hundred years, Wang Tinglou had withdrawn from worldly affairs, focusing solely on reaching Great Perfection. Otherwise, if he harbored ambitions for revenge or unification, it wouldn't be impossible.
