哪人身穿青衫．．而“容貌没有分毫出奇．然而独孤谋却瞳孔微缩，隐隐觉得在哪里见过。可一时片刻．却又完全想不起来了。
A man in a green robe... His appearance was unremarkable. However, Solitary Mưu's pupils constricted slightly as he felt a vague sense of familiarity. Yet, for the moment, he could not recall where he had seen him.
xīn zhōng jīng è ． tā qiǎo rán jiāng shén shí fàng chū ． zài duì fāng shēn shàng sǎo guò ． biǎo qíng què biàn dé shí cuò è 。
心中惊愕．他悄然将神识放出．在对方身上扫过．表情却变得十错愕。
Surprised, he quietly released his divine consciousness to scan the other person. His expression turned even more astonished.
yì diǎn líng lì yě wú ． nà rén jiù zhàn zài dōu fāng bù yuǎn zhī chù ． kě shén shí tàn cè de gǎn jué què kōng kōng de ． jiù fǎng fú tòu míng zhī wù 。
一点灵力也无．那人就站在都方不远之处．可神识探测的感觉却空空的．就仿佛透明之物。
There was no trace of spiritual energy; yet this man stood not far away from him. But when Solitary Mưu used his divine sense to probe, it felt empty as if the figure were transparent.
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
How could that be possible?
jiù suàn shì shì sú fán rén ． méi yǒu líng qì ． dàn yě bú huì yì diǎn lì liàng de bō dòng yě wú nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ． dú gū móu de liǎn sè yī xià zi shà bái qǐ lái le 。
就算是世俗凡人．没有灵气．但也不会一点力量的波动也无脑海中念头转过．独孤谋的脸色一下子煞白起来了。
Even a secular commoner without spiritual energy would still have some fluctuations in their power. Thoughts raced through his mind, and Solitary Moodoo's face turned pale.
tā bì jìng shì níng dān hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 、 jiàn shí suī shuō bù shàng guǎng bó ． dàn yě kěn dìng bù ruò ．
他毕竟是凝丹后期的修仙者、见识虽说不上广博．但也肯定不弱．
He was after all an advanced Condensation Core cultivator; although not broad-minded, he certainly wasn't weak either.
jiù suàn shì yuán yīng lǎo guài yě bú huì gěi zì jǐ zhè yàng gǎn jué de 。
就算是元婴老怪也不会给自己这样感觉的。
An Incorporeal Baby Spirit wouldn’t give him such a feeling.
néng gòu jiāng tǐ nèi de fǎ lì bō dòng shōu liǎn dé yì diǎn yě wú ， nán dào shuō ． duì fāng jū rán shì chuán shuō zhōng de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ？
能够将体内的法力波动收敛得一点也无，难道说．对方居然是传说中的离合期修仙者？
Could it be that the other person was actually a legendary Separation and Union stage cultivator who could completely suppress fluctuations in their spiritual energy?
dāng rán ， zhè jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， dàn dú gū móu de yǎn pí què yī xià zi kuáng tiào qǐ lái le 、 hū xī jí cù 。
当然，这仅仅是猜测，但独孤谋的眼皮却一下子狂跳起来了、呼吸急促。
Of course, this was just speculation. But Solitary Moodoo's eyelids began to flutter wildly as his breathing quickened.
rú guǒ zhēn jiàn dào zhè zhǒng děng jí de xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù zhī dào shì fú shì huò 。
如果真见到这种等级的修仙者，也不知道是福是祸。
Seeing such an advanced cultivator would be both a blessing and a curse.
nǎo hǎi zhōng de niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ． yī jiāo hū shēng què chuán rù ěr duǒ ． lǐ miàn yě dài zhe jīng yà zhī sè ：“ lín …… gé xià shì lín qián bèi me ？
脑海中的念头尚未转过．一娇呼声却传入耳朵．里面也带着惊讶之色：“林……阁下是林前辈么？
Before the thoughts fully settled in his mind, a soft voice called out with surprise: "Lin... Sir, are you Senior Lin?"
nà shēng yīn hěn shú ． bú yòng shuō ， shì zì jiā xiǎo mèi fā chū lái de 。
那声音很熟．不用说，是自家小妹发出来的。
The voice was familiar; it must have been his little sister speaking.
dú gū móu xiān shì yī è ． suí hòu nǎo hǎi zhōng rú líng guāng shǎn guò ． jīng bǎi de tái qǐ tóu lú 、 mù guāng chóng xīn zài nà shén mì xiū shì de liǎn jiá shàng sǎo guò ． yě yī xià zi jiāng tā rèn chū lái le 。
独孤谋先是一愕．随后脑海中如灵光闪过．惊摆的抬起头颅、目光重新在那神秘修士的脸颊上扫过．也一下子将他认出来了。
Solitary Moodoo was initially taken aback but then a flash of enlightenment lit up his mind. He raised his head and scanned the mysterious cultivator's face again, finally recognizing him.
xiǎo mèi méi yǒu jiào cuò 、 zhè rén zì jǐ bǎi yú nián qián què shí jiàn guò 。
小妹没有叫错、这人自己百余年前确实见过。
His little sister hadn't called wrong. This person had indeed met him over a hundred years ago.
jì de nà shí ， tiān yá huì gé yǔ wàn fú zōng shàng wèi bào fā quán miàn chōng tū ． xiāng qīn dà huì fǎn ér tí qián jǔ xíng le ……
记得那时，天涯诲阁与万佛宗尚未爆发全面冲突．相亲大会反而提前举行了……
He remembered when the Tianshae Sea Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect were yet to engage in full-scale conflict; the matchmaking ceremony was held ahead of schedule...
xiǎo mèi shì zhù jī qī xiū shì ． zì yǐ zé jiǎo xìng jié dān chéng gōng ． rán ér zuò wèi sàn xiū ． yī jiù méi shì qián tú ， shèn zhì lián fǎ bǎo yě ná bù chū 、 jié guǒ zài qù jìng yuè dǎo de lù shàng zāo yù le hǎi shòu guài wù ． liǎng rén gēn běn dǐ dí bú zhù ． yǎn kàn jiù yào zàng shēn yú fù ． jié guǒ què bèi zhè wèi lín xiōng suǒ jiù 。
小妹是筑基期修士．自已则侥幸结丹成功．然而做为散修．依旧没市前途，甚至连法宝也拿不出、结果在去静月岛的路上遭遇了海兽怪物．两人根本抵敌不住．眼看就要葬身鱼腹．结果却被这位林兄所救。
His little sister was at the Foundation Establishment stage, while he narrowly managed to condense his essence. As an independent cultivator, he still had no prospects for the future, lacking even a magical treasure. On their way to Jingyue Island, they encountered sea beast monsters and were utterly unable to resist. They were about to be devoured by fish when this Lin brother rescued them.
dāng shí tā de jìng jiè suī bǐ zì jǐ shèng shàng yī chóu ， dàn yě bù guò níng dān zhōng qī bà le 、 duǎn duǎn bǎi yú nián 、 jiù suàn jī yuán zài zěn me nì tiān ． néng gòu jié yīng chéng gōng yǐ lìng rén xiàn mù ． zěn me kě néng yī bù mài rù lí hé 。
当时他的境界虽比自己胜上一筹，但也不过凝丹中期罢了、短短百余年、就算机缘再怎么逆天．能够结婴成功已令人羡慕．怎么可能一步迈入离合。
At that time, his cultivation stage was just one level above him, only at the middle-stage Condensation Core. In a hundred years, even with extraordinary luck, becoming an Incorporeal Baby Spirit would already be enviable; how could he leap directly into Separation and Union?
nán dào shì zì jǐ gāng gāng gǎn yìng chū cuò ， tā zhī suǒ yǐ yì diǎn fǎ lì bō dòng de jì xiàng yě wú 。 shì yīn wèi xiū liàn de gōng fǎ tè shū ？
难道是自己刚刚感应出错，他之所以一点法力波动的迹象也无。是因为修炼的功法特殊？
Could it be that he had misjudged his spiritual energy fluctuations? The reason for no trace of power might have been due to the special cultivation technique he was using?
dú gū móu xīn cháo qǐ fú ． nǎo hǎi zhōng de niàn tou bù tíng zhuǎn dòng ， rán ér yī jiù sī háo tóu xù yuǎn chù ． nà shén mì xiū shì huǎn huǎn zhuǎn guò le tóu lú ． méi cuò ． tā què shí shì gāng gāng cóng jù líng kōng jiān tuō kùn de lín xuān 。
独孤谋心潮起伏．脑海中的念头不停转动，然而依旧丝毫头绪远处．那神秘修士缓缓转过了头颅．没错．他确实是刚刚从聚灵空间脱困的林轩。
Solitary Moodoo's mind raced as thoughts swirled, but still, he couldn't find any clues. Far away, the mysterious cultivator slowly turned his head. Yes, it was indeed Lin Xuan who had just escaped from the Spirit Gathering Space.
lún hǎi sāng tián ． shì shì biàn qiān ， zì jǐ zài nà lǐ zú zú bèi kùn le bǎi nián 。
沦海桑田．世事变迁，自己在那里足足被困了百年。
The world changed over a hundred years; Solitary Moodoo had been trapped there for that long.
xiǎng xiǎng guò wǎng de qīng lì ， lín xuān gǎn kǎi bù yǐ 。
想想过往的轻历，林轩感慨不已。
Thinking back on past events, Lin Xuan felt profound emotions.
dāng shí ， yuè ér jǐ chéng gōng jìn jiē lí hé ， kě yǐ tuō kùn ér chū ， dàn lín xuān què bìng wèi dǎ suàn nà me zuò ． ér shì jué dìng yào zài zuò yī fān cháng shì zài shuō 。
当时，月儿己成功进阶漓合，可以脱困而出，但林轩却并未打算那么做．而是决定要再做一番尝试再说。
At that time, Mo'er had successfully advanced to Separation and Union and could break free. But Lin Xuan didn't plan to do so immediately; instead, he decided to try again.
zuì dà de kùn rǎo shì xīn mó 。
最大的困扰是心魔。
The biggest obstacle was the heart demon.
bù guò shì yǒu qiǎo hé ． zì jǐ cóng wǔ sè xiān zi nà lǐ dé dào de kuí huò tiān xuán dān gāng hǎo kě yǐ jiāng zhè ge zhàng ài kè fú 。
不过事有巧合．自己从五色仙子那里得到的魁惑天玄丹刚好可以将这个障碍克服。
But fate played a trick. The Confusion Heavenly玄丹he received from the Five-Color Fairy just happened to be able to overcome this barrier.
wèi le bǎo xiǎn ． lín xuān hái xiān jiāng qí tí chún chéng zhōng pǐn dān 。
为了保险．林轩还先将其提纯成中品丹。
To be safe, Lin Xuan first refined it into a middle-grade pill.
rán hòu yǔ bǎi cǎo dān yì qǐ tūn fú ， zài shī bài hòu bù jiǔ jiù cháng shì dì èr cì tū pò 。
然后与百草丹一起吞服，在失败后不久就尝试第二次突破。
Then, after consuming both Hundred Grass Pills and Spirit Flowers, he attempted another breakthrough shortly after his failure.
bǎi píng dān bà dào de yào lì yī jiù shì yī zhǒng tòng kǔ de zhé mó ， rán ér zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi de lín xuān yǎo yǎo yá yě jiù chēng guò 。
百苹丹霸道的药力依旧是一种痛苦的折磨，然而早有准备的林轩咬咬牙也就撑过。
The霸道power of the Hundred Grass Pills was still a torment, but well-prepared Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and endured.
yě bìng kuí huò tiān xuán dān zhēn chǎn shēng le xiào guǒ 。 zhè yī huí lín xuān bìng méi yǒu chū xiàn huàn xiàng xīn mó 。
也并魁惑天玄丹真产生了效果。这一回林轩并没有出现幻象心魔。
And indeed, the Confusion Heavenly玄丹did take effect. This time, Lin Xuan didn't encounter any heart demons.
ér qiě guò chéng bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào shùn lì de duō 。 zhǔ yuán yīng rú shuǐ dào qú chéng bān de tū pò ． chéng gōng mài rù le lí hé 。
而且过程比想象的要顺利得多。主元婴如水到渠成般的突破．成功迈入了离合。
Moreover, the process went much more smoothly than expected. His main essence core broke through like water finding its channel, successfully entering Separation and Union.
lín xuān zì jǐ yě dà gǎn jīng è ， suī rán jí qǔ dì yī cì shī bài de jiào xùn yǐ hòu ． zhè yī cì tā yě yǒu wǔ chéng zuǒ yòu de bǎ wò ． dàn guò chéng hái shì shùn lì de yǒu cǐ chū hū yì wài le 。
林轩自己也大感惊愕，虽然汲取第一次失败的教训以后．这一次他也有五成左右的把握．但过程还是顺利得有此出乎意外了。
Lin Xuan was greatly surprised; although he had about a fifty percent chance of success after learning from his first failure, the process still exceeded his expectations.
yī shí jiān ， lín xuān jìng yǒu huǎng rú zuò mèng de gǎn jué 。
一时间，林轩竟有恍如做梦的感觉。
For a moment, Lin Xuan felt as if he were in a dream.
dàn qīng xǐng guò lái hòu ． tā bìng wèi zhuī gēn jiū dǐ ， yīn wèi zhè bì jìng shì xǐ shì 。
但清醒过来后．他并未追根究底，因为这毕竟是喜事。
But upon waking up, he didn't delve into details because this was indeed good news.
mài rù lí hé ， zì jǐ cái zhēn zhēn zhèng zhèng de chéng wéi le rén jiè zuì dǐng jiān de xiū xiān zhě 。
迈入离合，自己才真真正正的成为了人界最顶尖的修仙者。
Entering Separation and Union meant he truly became one of the top cultivators in the human world.
fēi shēng líng jiè bú shì mèng ． dāng rán qián tí shì yào chēng guò tiān jié chē kě 。
飞升灵界不是梦．当然前提是要撑过天劫车可。
Ascending to the Spirit Realm wasn’t a dream; but it required surviving the heavenly tribulation first.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu mǎ shàng cóng jù líng kōng jiān zhōng pò suì ér chū ， fǎn zhèng duō de shí jiān dōu yǐ jīng dān gē nà ge dì fāng suī rán xiǎo le yì diǎn ． dàn líng qì zhī nóng ， rén jiè hěn shǎo yǒu dì fāng kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
林轩并没有马上从聚灵空间中破碎而出，反正多的时间都已经耽搁那个地方虽然小了一点．但灵气之浓，人界很少有地方可以比拟的。
Lin Xuan didn't immediately break free from the Spirit Gathering Space, as he had plenty of time left. Although the space was slightly smaller, its spiritual energy was extremely concentrated—hardly found in any other place on Earth.
zhǔ pú èr rén yòu dòu liú le sān nián ， mù dì shì jiāng gāng gāng tū pò de jìng jiè wěn gù 。
主仆二人又逗留了三年，目的是将刚刚突破的境界稳固。
He and his servant stayed for another three years to stabilize their newly acquired stage.
rú guǒ jí zhe chū lái ． rán hòu lìng mì bié de dì fāng xiū liàn ． zhè ge guò chéng zhì shǎo yào duō huā shàng shù bèi de shí jiān 。
如果急着出来．然后另觅别的地方修炼．这个过程至少要多花上数倍的时间。
If they had rushed out and sought a different place to cultivate, it would have taken at least several times longer.
sān nián hòu ， liǎng rén suī rán jǐn jǐn shì lí hé chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ． dàn jìng jiè yǔ gāng gāng tū pò shí xiāng bǐ ． yǐ xiǎn de wěn gù yǐ jí 。
三年后，两人虽然仅仅是离合初期的修仙者．但境界与刚刚突破时相比．已显得稳固以极。
Three years later, although both were only at the early Separation and Union stage, their cultivation levels had become extremely stable compared to when they first broke through.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu qù le yào yuán yī tàng ， yǐ tā de xìng gé ． hǎo dōng xī zěn me kě yǐ là xià ne 。
随后林轩又去了药园一趟，以他的性格．好东西怎么可以落下呢。
Lin Xuan then visited the herb garden. Given his nature, he couldn’t leave anything useful behind.
bù guǎn yǒu yòng méi yòng ， lǐ miàn zāi zhòng de líng huā líng cǎo kěn dìng shì shōu guā yī kōng 。
不管有用没用，里面栽种的灵花灵草肯定是收刮一空。
He thoroughly collected all the spirit flowers and herbs planted there, regardless of whether they were actually useful or not.
suí hòu lín xuān cháng shì zhe jiāng zhè ge kōng jiān dǎ pò ， zhè yī huí ， bìng méi yǒu yù jiàn yì wài zǔ gé hěn qīng sōng qiè yì jiù bàn dào le 。
随后林轩尝试着将这个空间打破，这一回，并没有遇见意外阻隔很轻松惬意就办到了。
Next, Lin Xuan tried breaking this space. This time, no unexpected obstacles appeared; it was accomplished easily and comfortably.
shèn zhì yuè ér dōu wèi chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。
甚至月儿都未出手相助。
Even Mo'er didn't need to help.
lín xuān jǐn jǐn shì diào dòng tiān dì yuán qì ． xiù róng yì jiù pī kāi le yī tiáo fèng xì 。
林轩仅仅是调动天地元气．秀容易就劈开了一条缝隙。
Lin Xuan merely调动天地元气and easily split a gap in the space.
suí hòu tā háo bù chí yí 、 jiāng jiǔ tiān líng dùn kāi qǐ ． rán hòu yī bù mài rù jìn qù 。
随后他毫不迟疑、将九天灵盾开启．然后一步迈入进去。
Without hesitation, he activated the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield and stepped into it.
yóu yú zhè jù líng kōng jiān shì rén wéi kāi pì chū lái de ， suǒ yǐ yǔ rén jiè xiāng lián de kōng jiān fèng xì zhōng bìng wèi yǒu shén me luàn liú 。
由于这聚灵空间是人为开辟出来的，所以与人界相连的空间缝隙中并未有什么乱流。
Since this Spirit Gathering Space was artificially created, there were no chaotic flows at the connection with the human world.
huàn jù huà shuō ． lín xuān yì diǎn wēi xiǎn yě wú ． jiù chéng gōng tuō kùn ér chū 。
换句话说．林轩一点危险也无．就成功脱困而出。
In other words, Lin Xuan had no danger; he successfully escaped.
cǐ shí tā zhuǎn le zhuǎn tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn hǎi tiān yī sè ， liǎng duì xiū shì zhèng mǎn liǎn jīng huāng fū cuò ， jì jìng qiě wèi de jiāng zì jǐ zhù shì zhe 。
此时他转了转头颅，只见海天一色，两队修士正满脸惊慌夫措，既敬且畏的将自己注视着。
He turned his head to see a vast sea sky. Two teams of cultivators stood in shock, respectfully watching him.
kàn fú shì ， sì hū shì yún zhōu wài hǎi de xiū shì 。
看服饰，似乎是云州外海的修士。
From their attire, they seemed to be from the Outer Sea region of Yunzhou.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bù lù shēng sè ， xīn zhōng què duō shǎo yǒu xiē jīng xǐ de ． dāng chū ． zì jǐ shì cóng yíng zhōu dǎo bèi xī rù ． rú jīn hái shì huí dào bù yuǎn zhī chù ， yùn qì hái zhēn shì bù cuò suàn suàn shí jiān ． jù lí nà chǎng dà zhàn jǐ guò qù bǎi nián ， bù zhī dào shuí shèng shuí fù shuí shuō xiū xiān zhě dōu zì sī ． zhì shǎo lín xuān jiù bìng fēi rú cǐ ， tā yǒu hěn duō qiān guì de rén yǔ shì 。
林轩脸上不露声色，心中却多少有些惊喜的．当初．自己是从瀛洲岛被吸入．如今还是回到不远之处，运气还真是不错算算时间．距离那场大战己过去百年，不知道谁胜谁负谁说修仙者都自私．至少林轩就并非如此，他有很多牵桂的人与事。
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, but he was secretly delighted. Initially, he had been sucked into Yingshou Island; now, he returned not far away, quite a stroke of luck.
mù guāng zài zhè xiē xiū shì de shēn shàng sǎo guò ． què tū rán yǒu yī jīng è de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ “ lín …… gé xià shì lín qián bèi me ？、
目光在这些修士的身上扫过．却突然有一惊愕的声音传入耳朵“林……阁下是林前辈么？、
Calculating the time, it had been a hundred years since that great battle. He didn't know who won or lost, but at least it wasn’t the worst possible outcome.
jū rán yǒu rén rèn shí zì jǐ ， lín xuān bù yóu de dà wēi jīng qí ． máng jiāng mù guāng nuó le guò qù 。 shì yī wèi shēn chuān gōng zhuāng de shào nǚ ． dà yuē shí qī bā 、 jiǔ nián jì ． róng mào qīng xiù yǐ jí ． suī shuō bù shàng jué sè měi nǚ ， dàn yě dāng dé qǐ xiù sè kě cān zhè jù píng yǔ 。 wén zì yóu shū shū shū shū shū shū wǎng tí gōng 。 bǎ zhōng jiān de shū shū qù diào cái sōu dé dào ó 。
居然有人认识自己，林轩不由得大威惊奇．忙将目光挪了过去。是一位身穿宫装的少女．大约十七八、九年纪．容貌清秀以极．虽说不上绝色美女，但也当得起秀色可餐这句评语。文字由书叔叔书叔叔网提供。把中间的叔叔去掉才搜得到哦。
His mind filled with joy as his lips curled into a smile.
“ shì nǐ ？．
“是你？．
"Sir, you are... really Senior Lin?"
lín xuān de jì yì ． kě yào bǐ nà dú gū móu hǎo dé duō ． yī yǎn jiù jiāng yǎn qián de shào nǚ rèn chū 。
林轩的记忆．可要比那独孤谋好得多．一眼就将眼前的少女认出。
Indeed, someone recognized him, and Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling surprised. He turned to look; standing before him was a young woman in court attire, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her appearance was extremely delicate, though not breathtakingly beautiful, she certainly deserved the phrase "a feast for the eyes."
chū jiàn tā shí shì zhù jī zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， rú jīn yě jié dān chéng gōng 。
初见她时是筑基中期的修仙者，如今也结丹成功。
"Is it you?"
kàn tā de fú shì ． nán dào cǐ nǚ yě jiā rù le tiān yá huì gé zhè me shuō gǎi mén pài hái cún zài zhe 。
看她的服饰．难道此女也加入了天涯诲阁这么说改门派还存在着。
Lin Xuan's memory was much better than Solitary Moodoo’s; he immediately recognized the young woman.
qiě bù guǎn yíng zhōu dǎo yī yì shuí shèng shuí fù ． zhì shǎo bú shì zì jǐ suǒ dān xīn de zuì huài jié guǒ niàn jí zhì cǐ lín xuān bù yóu de mǎn xīn huān xǐ ． zuǐ jiǎo biān ， yě lù chū le yī sī xiào yì 。
且不管瀛洲岛一役谁胜谁负．至少不是自己所担心的最坏结果念及至此林轩不由得满心欢喜．嘴角边，也露出了一丝笑意。
When they first met, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the middle stage. Now, she had successfully condensed her essence core.
“ gé xià zhēn …“． zhēn de shì lín qián bèi me ？”
“阁下真…“．真的是林前辈么？”
From her attire, this girl must have joined the Tianshae Sea Pavilion. So, the sect still existed.
Regardless of who won or lost in the battle at Yingshou Island, it wasn’t the worst possible outcome Lin Xuan was worried about.
His gaze swept over the cultivators, and suddenly, a surprised voice called out: "Sir... are you Senior Lin?"
A man in a green robe... His appearance was unremarkable. However, Solitary Mưu's pupils constricted slightly as he felt a vague sense of familiarity. Yet, for the moment, he could not recall where he had seen him.
Surprised, he quietly released his divine consciousness to scan the other person. His expression turned even more astonished.
There was no trace of spiritual energy; yet this man stood not far away from him. But when Solitary Mưu used his divine sense to probe, it felt empty as if the figure were transparent.
How could that be possible?
Even a secular commoner without spiritual energy would still have some fluctuations in their power. Thoughts raced through his mind, and Solitary Moodoo's face turned pale.
He was after all an advanced Condensation Core cultivator; although not broad-minded, he certainly wasn't weak either.
An Incorporeal Baby Spirit wouldn’t give him such a feeling.
Could it be that the other person was actually a legendary Separation and Union stage cultivator who could completely suppress fluctuations in their spiritual energy?
Of course, this was just speculation. But Solitary Moodoo's eyelids began to flutter wildly as his breathing quickened.
Seeing such an advanced cultivator would be both a blessing and a curse.
Before the thoughts fully settled in his mind, a soft voice called out with surprise: "Lin... Sir, are you Senior Lin?"
The voice was familiar; it must have been his little sister speaking.
Solitary Moodoo was initially taken aback but then a flash of enlightenment lit up his mind. He raised his head and scanned the mysterious cultivator's face again, finally recognizing him.
His little sister hadn't called wrong. This person had indeed met him over a hundred years ago.
He remembered when the Tianshae Sea Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect were yet to engage in full-scale conflict; the matchmaking ceremony was held ahead of schedule...

Solitary Moodoo's mind raced as thoughts swirled, but still, he couldn't find any clues. Far away, the mysterious cultivator slowly turned his head. Yes, it was indeed Lin Xuan who had just escaped from the Spirit Gathering Space.
The world changed over a hundred years; Solitary Moodoo had been trapped there for that long.
Thinking back on past events, Lin Xuan felt profound emotions.
At that time, Mo'er had successfully advanced to Separation and Union and could break free. But Lin Xuan didn't plan to do so immediately; instead, he decided to try again.
The biggest obstacle was the heart demon.
But fate played a trick. The Confusion Heavenly玄丹he received from the Five-Color Fairy just happened to be able to overcome this barrier.

Then, after consuming both Hundred Grass Pills and Spirit Flowers, he attempted another breakthrough shortly after his failure.

Lin Xuan was greatly surprised; although he had about a fifty percent chance of success after learning from his first failure, the process still exceeded his expectations.
For a moment, Lin Xuan felt as if he were in a dream.
But upon waking up, he didn't delve into details because this was indeed good news.
Entering Separation and Union meant he truly became one of the top cultivators in the human world.
Ascending to the Spirit Realm wasn’t a dream; but it required surviving the heavenly tribulation first.
Lin Xuan didn't immediately break free from the Spirit Gathering Space, as he had plenty of time left. Although the space was slightly smaller, its spiritual energy was extremely concentrated—hardly found in any other place on Earth.
He and his servant stayed for another three years to stabilize their newly acquired stage.
If they had rushed out and sought a different place to cultivate, it would have taken at least several times longer.
Three years later, although both were only at the early Separation and Union stage, their cultivation levels had become extremely stable compared to when they first broke through.
Lin Xuan then visited the herb garden. Given his nature, he couldn’t leave anything useful behind.
He thoroughly collected all the spirit flowers and herbs planted there, regardless of whether they were actually useful or not.
Next, Lin Xuan tried breaking this space. This time, no unexpected obstacles appeared; it was accomplished easily and comfortably.
Even Mo'er didn't need to help.
Lin Xuan merely调动天地元气and easily split a gap in the space.
Without hesitation, he activated the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield and stepped into it.
Since this Spirit Gathering Space was artificially created, there were no chaotic flows at the connection with the human world.
In other words, Lin Xuan had no danger; he successfully escaped.
He turned his head to see a vast sea sky. Two teams of cultivators stood in shock, respectfully watching him.
From their attire, they seemed to be from the Outer Sea region of Yunzhou.
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, but he was secretly delighted. Initially, he had been sucked into Yingshou Island; now, he returned not far away, quite a stroke of luck.
Calculating the time, it had been a hundred years since that great battle. He didn't know who won or lost, but at least it wasn’t the worst possible outcome.
His mind filled with joy as his lips curled into a smile.
"Sir, you are... really Senior Lin?"
Indeed, someone recognized him, and Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling surprised. He turned to look; standing before him was a young woman in court attire, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her appearance was extremely delicate, though not breathtakingly beautiful, she certainly deserved the phrase "a feast for the eyes."
"Is it you?"
Lin Xuan's memory was much better than Solitary Moodoo’s; he immediately recognized the young woman.
When they first met, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the middle stage. Now, she had successfully condensed her essence core.
From her attire, this girl must have joined the Tianshae Sea Pavilion. So, the sect still existed.
Regardless of who won or lost in the battle at Yingshou Island, it wasn’t the worst possible outcome Lin Xuan was worried about.
His gaze swept over the cultivators, and suddenly, a surprised voice called out: "Sir... are you Senior Lin?"
