“ lín shī shū ， qián miàn de luò shen fēng jiù shì yíng zhōu dǎo de quán yǎn ， chú le yǐ gāi fēng wèi zhōng xīn de fāng yuán èr shí lǐ nèi bù néng kāi pì dòng fǔ ， běn dǎo qí yú de líng mài rèn nǐ xuǎn zé 。【 fēng yún yuè dú wǎng 】”
“林师叔，前面的落shen峰就是瀛洲岛的泉眼，除了以该峰为中心的方圆二十里内不能开辟洞府，本岛其余的灵脉任你选择。【风云阅读网】”
"Uncle Lin, the Lushen Peak ahead is where the spring of Immortal Isle flows out. Except for a twenty-li radius around this peak where no cave can be established, you may choose any other spirit veins on our island," Miao Hongying said.
tiān kōng zhī zhōng ， xuán fú zhe liǎng dào jīng hóng ， zuǒ cè shì yī míng shēn chuān lǜ sè gōng zhuāng de nǚ zǐ ， dà yuē èr shí qī 、 bā suì nián jì ， yuán yīng chū qī 。
天空之中，悬浮着两道惊虹，左侧是一名身穿绿色宫装的女子，大约二十七、八岁年纪，元婴初期。
Above the sky, two streaks of lightning hovered. To the left was a young woman in green court attire, about 27 or 28 years old, at the early stage of Spirit婴 Core formation.
zhèng shì yǔ lín xuān yǒu guò yí miàn zhī yuán de chén hóng yǐng 。
正是与林轩有过一面之缘的陈红影。
This was none other than Chen Hongying, whom Lin Xuan had met once before.
yǔ jiě jiě fēn shǒu yǐ hòu ， biàn shì yóu cǐ nǚ dài zhe lín xuān qù xuǎn zé dòng fǔ 。
与姐姐分手以后，便是由此女带着林轩去选择洞府。
After parting ways with her sister, it was this woman who led Lin Xuan to choose a cave.
tā yǐ tīng rú yān xiān zi shuō guò lín xuān jiāng jiā rù tiān yá hǎi gé ， suī xīn zhōng jīng è ， dàn liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì bì gōng bì jìng de 。
她已听如嫣仙子说过林轩将加入天涯海阁，虽心中惊愕，但脸上的表情却是毕恭毕敬的。
Though she was surprised by his joining the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion, her expression remained respectful and courteous.
nán zi yòu rú hé ？
男子又如何？
What about the man?
liǎng míng lí hé qī lǎo guài de jiā rù jiāng ràng běn mén shí lì bào zhǎng dào bù kě sī yì de dì bù 。
两名离合期老怪的加入将让本门实力暴涨到不可思议的地步。
The addition of two experts at the Separation stage would significantly boost our sect's strength to unimaginable levels.
dà shù dǐ xià hǎo chéng liáng ， mén pài de guāng dà duì zì jǐ yě yǒu hǎo chù ， suǒ yǐ duì zhè jiàn shì qíng cǐ nǚ yě shì lè jiàn qí chéng de 。
大树底下好乘凉，门派的光大对自己也有好处，所以对这件事情此女也是乐见其成的。
Under such circumstances, it would be beneficial for the sect’s reputation. Therefore, Miao Hongying was quite persistent in offering assistance.
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
"Uncle Lin, please wait a moment," Miao Hongying said as her voice reached his ears.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， bì shàng shuāng mù ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén niàn fàng chū ， guò le zú zú yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān cái chóng xīn zhēng kāi shuāng mù ， xiàng dōng cè fēi guò qù le 。
林轩点了点头，闭上双目，将强大以极的神念放出，过了足足一盏茶的功夫，林轩才重新睁开双目，像东侧飞过去了。
"What is it?" Lin Xuan showed signs of impatience on his face; she really was too talkative.
gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ lüè gǎn yì wài ， nà lǐ bìng fēi líng qì zuì wèi nóng mì zhī suǒ ， dàn tā zì rán bú huì hú luàn kāi kǒu duō shuō shén me ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de gēn zài hòu miàn le 。
宫装女子略感意外，那里并非灵气最为浓密之所，但她自然不会胡乱开口多说什么，恭恭敬敬的跟在后面了。
"Haha, the saying goes that disciples should serve their elders. You shouldn't personally handle the establishment of this cave. Just choose a location," the woman in green said with a pleasing smile.
“ zhè lǐ bù cuò 。”
“这里不错。”
"Alright, you can send me a transmission talisman once it's ready."
lín xuān xuǎn zhōng de shì yí gè xiǎo shān gǔ ， cóng fēng jǐng lái shuō ， jué duì kě yòng rú huà lái xíng róng ， dàn líng qì què chā qiáng rén yì 。
林轩选中的是一个小山谷，从风景来说，绝对可用如画来形容，但灵气却差强人意。
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding his agreement. Although he was used to doing everything himself, as the Supreme Elder of Far Horizon Sea Pavilion, some habits needed to change.
zhěng gè yíng zhōu dǎo miàn jī guǎng kuò ， shàng miàn de líng mài tóng yàng zhòng duō ， chú le yī tiáo guàn chuān dǎo yǔ dōng xī ， cháng zú yǒu jìn wàn lǐ de zhǔ líng mài yǐ wài ， dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de líng mài hái yǒu shù bǎi 。
整个瀛洲岛面积广阔，上面的灵脉同样众多，除了一条贯穿岛屿东西，长足有近万里的主灵脉以外，大大小小的灵脉还有数百。
After giving instructions to Miao Hongying, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of lightning and flew towards the western side of Immortal Isle.
zhǔ líng mài de pǐn zhì bú yòng shuō ， dàn nà xiē xiǎo líng mài jiù cēn cī bù qí le ， bǐ rú shuō zhè wǎn huā gǔ ， jiù shì wǔ tiáo xiǎo líng mài de jiāo huì zhī chù 。
主灵脉的品质不用说，但那些小灵脉就参差不齐了，比如说这皖花谷，就是五条小灵脉的交汇之处。
Soon, an elegant building appeared in front of him.
měi yī tiáo líng mài dōu bù guò zhōng pǐn ér yǐ ， què bāo kuò le wǔ xíng zhōng de jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ 。
每一条灵脉都不过中品而已，却包括了五行中的金木水火土。
Towering and magnificent, it was protected by a layer of azure light.
yuán běn zhōng pǐn yě suàn bù cuò ， kě wǔ xíng jiāo huì zài yì qǐ ， fǎn ér ràng fāng yuán shù lǐ de líng qì biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí 。
原本中品也算不错，可五行交汇在一起，反而让方圆数里的灵气变得混乱以极。
This was the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion's library. As one of the five major forces in Yunzhou, it housed an extensive collection of classics.
zài zhè lǐ xiū xíng ， hěn róng yì zǒu huǒ ， suǒ yǐ yì zhí dōu huāng fèi zhe 。
在这里修行，很容易走火，所以一直都荒废着。
Lin Xuan descended his遁光.
rán ér lín xuān qíng kuàng tè shū ， tā xiū xí de fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué nǎi shì mó fǎng shén niǎo fèng huáng de mì shù ， wǔ xíng yuán qì jiē néng wèi jǐ suǒ yòng ， bié rén kàn bù zhōng zhè wǎn huā gǔ ， duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， què shì jué jiā de xiū liàn zhī suǒ 。
然而林轩情况特殊，他修习的凤舞九天诀乃是模仿神鸟凤凰的秘术，五行元气皆能为己所用，别人看不中这皖花谷，对自己来说，却是绝佳的修炼之所。
...
“ shī shū zhǔn bèi zài zhè lǐ kāi pì dòng fǔ ？” chén hóng yǐng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng è ， jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ tīng cuò 。
“师叔准备在这里开辟洞府？”陈红影的脸上满是惊愕，几乎以为自己听错。
Half an hour later.
“ zěn me ， bù xíng me ？” lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu de shuō 。
“怎么，不行么？”林轩眉头一皱的说。
"Grandmaster, this is the ninth floor of our library. All the classics here are left by generations of ancestors. Only the sect leader and Supreme Elder can enter; even advanced cultivators at the Spirit Core formation stage cannot," said a small woman who looked no more than 17 or 18 years old. Her demeanor was extremely respectful, her cultivation level likely in the late Spirit Core formation stage.
“ bù ， dāng rán kě yǐ ， zhǐ shì zhè lǐ de líng qì sì hū tài chà le yī xiē 。”
“不，当然可以，只是这里的灵气似乎太差了一些。”
Although the grand ceremony of joining the sect had not been held yet, news of two Separation-stage cultivators joining the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion spread throughout the entire pavilion.
“ líng qì rú hé ， lín mǒu xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zhè nǐ jiù bù yòng duō guǎn le 。”
“灵气如何，林某心中有数，这妳就不用多管了。”
The woman's respect was extraordinary; she would rarely have a chance to see a Separation-stage cultivator like this in her daily life.
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， lüè yī shǎn shuò ， biàn huà chū yī shí yú zhàng zhǎng de qīng sè dà shǒu ， wǔ zhǐ jiān lì ， jiù yào hěn hěn xiàng nà shān bì zhuā qù 。
林轩话音未落，袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出，略一闪烁，变化出一十余丈长的青色大手，五指尖利，就要狠狠像那山壁抓去。
"Understood. You may go now," Lin Xuan waved his hand, showing no surprise or excitement.
“ shī shū ， qǐng shāo děng 。” chén hóng yǐng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“师叔，请稍等。”陈红影的声音传入耳朵。
"Yes, Grandmaster. If you need anything, please call me at any time," the female cultivator curtsied and then left respectfully.
“ zěn me ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū bù nài zhī sè ， cǐ nǚ hái zhēn shì luō suo 。
“怎么？”林轩脸上露出不耐之色，此女还真是啰嗦。
Lin Xuan looked at the pavilion before him. With a flick of his left hand, a palm-sized token appeared in front of him.
“ hē hē ， cháng yán dào ， zhǎng bèi yǒu shì dì zǐ fú qí láo ， zhè kāi pì dòng fǔ ， zěn me néng yóu shī shū qīn zì dòng shǒu ， nín zhǐ yào jiāng zhǐ xuǎn hǎo jiù xíng le 。” gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ mǎn liǎn tǎo hǎo de shuō 。
“呵呵，常言道，长辈有事弟子服其劳，这开辟洞府，怎么能由师叔亲自动手，您只要将址选好就行了。”宫装女子满脸讨好的说。
He gently raised it, and a red light shot out from within.
“ hǎo ba ， nǐ jiāng dòng fǔ nòng hǎo yǐ hòu gěi wǒ fā chuán yīn fú 。”
“好吧，妳将洞府弄好以后给我发传音符。”
A faint 'sizzling' sound entered his ears as the light screen shimmered like water waves. A one-meter-long passage appeared in his vision.
lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú ， jiù diǎn diǎn tóu tóng yì le ， suī rán tā yǐ jīng xí guàn ， shén me shì qíng dōu qīn lì qīn wéi qù zuò ， dàn xiàn zài dāng le tiān yá hǎi gé de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， yǒu yī xiē xí guàn jiù yào gǎi diào 。
林轩略一踌躇，就点点头同意了，虽然他已经习惯，什么事情都亲力亲为去做，但现在当了天涯海阁的太上长老，有一些习惯就要改掉。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction; he stepped into the pavilion.
fēn fù chén hóng yǐng hòu ， lín xuān huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi xiàng le yíng zhōu dǎo de xī cè 。
吩咐陈红影后，林轩化为一道惊虹，飞向了瀛洲岛的西侧。
Inside was much smaller than expected—only several meters long and wide, with a single bookshelf standing alone.
hěn kuài ， yī dòng huá měi de jiàn zhù jiù chū xiàn zài qián miàn le 。
很快，一栋华美的建筑就出现在前面了。
If not for seeing it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this was one of the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion's most important restricted areas.
gāo dà wēi é ， hái bèi yī céng wèi lán sè de guāng mù bǎo hù 。
高大巍峨，还被一层蔚蓝色的光幕保护。
There were hundreds of jade tubes on the shelf. These belonged to the Supreme Elders throughout history in the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion.
zhè shì tiān yá hǎi gé de cáng shū lóu ， zuò wèi yún zhōu wǔ dà shì lì ， lǐ miàn yǒu zhe jí wéi fēng fù de diǎn jí 。
这是天涯海阁的藏书楼，做为云州五大势力，里面有着极为丰富的典籍。
In other words, they contained the cultivation techniques and insights of Separation-stage cultivators. Even with Lin Xuan's composure, his eyes couldn't help but show intense interest.
lín xuān dùn guāng là le xià qù 。
林轩遁光落了下去。
Although he had managed to advance due to good fortune, he was still unsure how to proceed with his cultivation next.
……
……
For him, this place was a treasure trove, making the decision to join the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion correct indeed.
bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu 。
半个时辰以后。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan scanned the bookshelf. He then raised his right hand and flicked his index finger, causing a vibrant green jade tube to fly into his palm.
“ shī zǔ ， zhè lǐ jiù shì cáng shū lóu de dì jiǔ céng le ， lǐ miàn de diǎn jí ， quán shì lì dài zǔ shī liú xià lái de ， běn mén zhī zhōng ， chú le gōng zhǔ yǔ tài shàng zhǎng lǎo yǐ wài ， biàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù néng jìn rù 。” shuō huà de shì yī shēn cái jiāo xiǎo de nǚ zǐ ， kàn shàng qù bù guò shí qī 、 bā suì nián jì ， shén sè gōng jìng yǐ jí ， xiū wèi dà yuē zài níng dān hòu qī 。
“师祖，这里就是藏书楼的第九层了，里面的典籍，全是历代祖师留下来的，本门之中，除了宫主与太上长老以外，便是元婴后期的大修仙者，也不能进入。”说话的是一身材娇小的女子，看上去不过十七、八岁年纪，神色恭敬以极，修为大约在凝丹后期。
Lin Xuan lowered his head as he sank his spirit into it.
rù zōng dà diǎn suī wèi jǔ xíng ， dàn běn mén jiàng duō chū liǎng míng lí hé xiū shì de xiāo xī yǐ chuán biàn zhěng gè tiān yá hǎi gé 。
入宗大典虽未举行，但本门将多出两名离合修士的消息已传遍整个天涯海阁。
This was named Long Kexin's cultivation insights.
yǎn qián nǚ zǐ de shén sè gōng jìng dào jí chù ， lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhè zhǒng děng jí de cún zài tā píng shí gēn běn jiù bú huì yǒu jī huì jiàn dào de 。
眼前女子的神色恭敬到极处，离合期修仙者，这种等级的存在她平时根本就不会有机会见到的。
Although she hadn't successfully ascended, this woman had reached the peak of Separation-stage cultivators. Her insights were worth studying in detail, and Lin Xuan carefully pondered them.
“ zhī dào le ， nǐ tuì xià ba 。” lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， wú jīng wú xǐ de kāi kǒu 。
“知道了，妳退下吧。”林轩摆了摆手，无惊无喜的开口。
...
“ shì ， shī zǔ ， nín ruò yǒu shén me fēn fù ， qǐng suí shí chuán huàn dì zǐ de 。” nà nǚ xiū yíng yíng yī fú ， rán hòu cái gōng jìng de tuì xià qù le 。
“是，师祖，您若有什么吩咐，请随时传唤弟子的。”那女修盈盈一福，然后才恭敬的退下去了。
Meanwhile, the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion was filled with joy.
lín xuān kàn le yī yǎn qián miàn de gé lóu ， zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， yī kuài bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de lìng pái fú xiàn chū lái 。
林轩看了一眼前面的阁楼，左手翻转，一块巴掌大小的令牌浮现出来。
The addition of two Separation-stage cultivators meant a lot to the sect. Every woman knew its significance. Although Meng Rugan had ordered that the grand ceremony be kept simple, all members were actively preparing. They didn't want their Supreme Elders to feel neglected.
suí hòu qīng qīng yī yáng ， cóng lǐ miàn fēi shè chū yī dào hóng guāng 。
随后轻轻一扬，从里面飞射出一道红光。
Gifts from overseas sects and families piled up like mountains, but they were not allowed to participate in the grand ceremony.
cī lā yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǎn qián de guāng mù rú shuǐ bō bān huàng dòng ， yī tiáo zhàng xǔ zhǎng de tōng dào chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
刺啦一声轻响传入耳朵，眼前的光幕如水波般晃动，一条丈许长的通道出现在视线中。
Despite this, a large number of cultivators gathered near Immortal Isle.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， shēn xíng yī huǎng ， biàn jìn rù le gé lóu 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，身形一晃，便进入了阁楼。
News spread throughout Yunzhou and other regions, creating an unprecedented impact.
lǐ miàn bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào xiǎo dé duō 。
里面比自己想象的要小得多。
Over the years, the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion had expanded too quickly, causing dissatisfaction among some sects and families. The annihilation of Wanshou Sect and Liuhun Valley couldn't deter all ambitious individuals. In the world of cultivation, strength spoke louder than words.
zhǎng kuān dōu bù guò shù zhàng ér yǐ 。
长宽都不过数丈而已。
After the battle on Immortal Isle, their strength was weakened, but they now controlled twice as much territory.
bié wú tā wù ， zhǐ yǒu yí gè gū líng líng de shū jià chù lì zhe 。
别无他物，只有一个孤零零的书架矗立着。
What about the five major forces? The Twelve Cloudy States were full of hidden talents; not just them had Separation-stage experts.
ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， hěn nán xiǎng xiàng zhè lǐ jiù shì tiān yá hǎi gé zuì zhòng yào de jìn dì zhī yī 。
若不是亲眼目睹，很难想象这里就是天涯海阁最重要的禁地之一。
They might lose in a one-on-one fight, but if several large sects joined forces, victory would be within reach.
shū jià shàng de yù tǒng dǎo shì yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō ， zhè xiē dōu shì tiān yá hǎi gé lì dài tài shàng zhǎng lǎo liú xià lái de 。
书架上的玉筒倒是有数百之多，这些都是天涯海阁历代太上长老留下来的。
...
huàn jù huà shuō ， quán shì lí hé xiū shì de gōng fǎ yǔ xiū liàn xīn dé ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yǎn zhōng yě bù yóu de liú lù chū huǒ rè zhī sè 。
换句话说，全是离合修士的功法与修炼心得，即便以林轩的城府，眼中也不由得流露出火热之色。
However, before any plans could materialize, they were thwarted at the very beginning.
tā suī rán jī yuán qiǎo hé ， jìn jí chéng gōng ， dàn jiē xià lái gāi zěn me xiū liàn què shì yī tóu wù shuǐ 。
他虽然机缘巧合，晋级成功，但接下来该怎么修炼却是一头雾水。
Miao Rugan's successful advancement and the addition of two new Separation-stage experts made their strength comparable to that of Loose Breeze Academy. Who would dare provoke a tiger?
duì tā lái shuō ， yǎn qián jiù shì yī bǎo kù ， jiā rù tiān yá hǎi gé de jué dìng ， guǒ rán shì zhèng què de 。
对他来说，眼前就是一宝库，加入天涯海阁的决定，果然是正确的。
The role of Separation-stage cultivators was clear—no need for action; just the threat alone could make enemies tremble.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān mù guāng zài shū jià shàng sǎo guò ， suí hòu yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， shí zhǐ qīng qīng yī dòng ， yī cuì lǜ yù dī de yù tǒng jiù fēi rù le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
心中如此想着，林轩目光在书架上扫过，随后右手抬起，食指轻轻一动，一翠绿欲滴的玉筒就飞入了掌心之中。
...
lín xuān dī xià tou ， jiāng shén shí chén rù 。
林轩低下头，将神识沉入。
In the Tianfeng County, Yunzhou, on an uninhabited mountain, a beautiful woman stood atop a 10,000-foot-high peak. She wore a simple white dress that made her look like a celestial maiden.
zhè shì yī míng jiào lóng kě xīn de nǚ zǐ suǒ liú xià lái de xiū liàn xīn dé 。
这是一名叫龙可欣的女子所留下来的修炼心得。
She looked about 25 or 26 years old and was breathtakingly beautiful.
cǐ nǚ zuì hòu suī rán méi yǒu fēi shēng chéng gōng ， dàn yě shì lí hé chū qī dǐng fēng de xiū xiān zhě ， tā de xiū liàn xīn dé ， zì rán yǒu pǒ duō zhí de jiè jiàn zhī chù ， lín xuān xì xì tǐ huì qǐ lái le 。
此女最后虽然没有飞升成功，但也是离合初期顶峰的修仙者，她的修炼心得，自然有颇多值得借鉴之处，林轩细细体会起来了。
However, the oppressive aura she exuded was formidable; she was at the middle stage of Spirit Core formation.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， tiān yá hǎi gé zé chén jìn zài yī piàn xǐ qì yáng yáng zhī zhōng 。
与此同时，天涯海阁则沉浸在一片喜气洋洋之中。
In her hand, she held a colorful talisman—Wanli Talisman. It was sent by her master for her to return to the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion and attend Lin Xuan's grand ceremony.
liǎng míng lí hé xiū shì de jiā rù ， duì běn pài yì wèi zhe shén me ， měi yī míng nǚ zǐ jiē xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， mèng rú yān suī xià lìng rù zōng dà diǎn yī qiè cóng jiǎn ， dàn quán pài shàng xià ， què jī jí xíng dòng le qǐ lái ， tā men kě bù xiǎng ràng liǎng wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， gǎn jué zì jǐ shòu dào le dài màn 。
两名离合修士的加入，对本派意味着什么，每一名女子皆心中有数，梦如嫣虽下令入宗大典一切从简，但全派上下，却积极行动了起来，她们可不想让两位太上长老，感觉自己受到了怠慢。
Her expression was complex as memories of her interactions with Lin Xuan flashed before her eyes.
hǎi wài zōng mén jiā zú de lǐ wù ， yǐ duī jī rú shān ， bù guò tā men què bèi xiè jué cān jiā rù zōng dà diǎn 。
海外宗门家族的礼物，已堆积如山，不过他们却被谢绝参加入宗大典。
The Lushen Valley had been a foolish disciple, often mocked by his fellow cultivators, but when crossing streams and ravines, he displayed astonishing strength. Together they could repel enemies.
dàn jí biàn rú cǐ ， yíng zhōu dǎo fù jìn ， yě jí jié le dà liàng de xiū shì 。
但即便如此，瀛洲岛附近，也集结了大量的修士。
After the meeting on the moonlit night, they agreed to cultivate together.
zhì yú yún zhōu nèi lù ， yǔ qí tā de zhōu fǔ ， xiāo xī yě dōu chuán kāi ， suǒ zào chéng de hōng dòng xiào guǒ ， jiǎn zhí lìng rén chēng mù jié shé 。
至于云州内陆，与其他的州府，消息也都传开，所造成的轰动效果，简直令人瞠目结舌。
What was that transmission talisman about? Qin Yan still didn't understand it fully.
yuán běn zhè xiē nián lái ， tiān yá hǎi gé yīn wèi kuò zhǎn tài kuài ， yǐ jīng yǐn qǐ le yī xiē zōng mén jiā zú de bù mǎn ， wàn fú zōng yǔ lì hún gǔ de mǐn miè ， bìng bù néng zhèn shè suǒ yǒu de yě xīn zhě ， xiū xiān jiè yǒng yuǎn shì yòng shí lì shuō huà de ， yíng zhōu dǎo yī yì hòu ， tiān yá hǎi gé de shí lì míng míng shòu dào le xuē ruò ， kě tā men zhàn jù de dì pán què bǐ yǐ qián zēng jiā le yí bèi hái duō 。
原本这些年来，天涯海阁因为扩展太快，已经引起了一些宗门家族的不满，万佛宗与厉魂谷的泯灭，并不能震慑所有的野心者，修仙界永远是用实力说话的，瀛洲岛一役后，天涯海阁的实力明明受到了削弱，可她们占据的地盘却比以前增加了一倍还多。
But she couldn't deny that since their encounter in Xue Ming Mountain, she had developed a liking for Lin Xuan.
wǔ dà shì lì yòu rú hé ， tiān yún shí èr zhōu cáng lóng wò hǔ ， yě bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu tā men jǐ pài cái yǒu lí hé qī lǎo guài wù 。
五大势力又如何，天云十二州藏龙卧虎，也并非只有他们几派才有离合期老怪物。
Now he not only wanted to join her sect but would also become the Supreme Elder.
dān dǎ dú dòu dāng rán dǎ bù guò tiān yá hǎi gé ， dàn ruò shì jǐ gè dà pài de lián méng yíng què yǒu bǎ wò 。
单打独斗当然打不过天涯海阁，但若是几个大派的联盟赢却有把握。
Qin Yan bit her teeth. She wasn't jealous; she was genuinely happy for his advancement to Separation stage. But she refused to call him uncle.
rán ér yīn móu shàng wèi xiǎn lù ， què bèi è shā zài yáo lán zhōng 。
然而阴谋尚未显露，却被扼杀在摇篮中。
A proud daughter of heaven, she had her pride. If she couldn't advance to Separation stage, she wouldn't return to the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion.
rú yān xiān zi chéng gōng jìn jí ， tiān yá hǎi gé yòu xīn tiān le liǎng míng lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， rú cǐ shí lì ， yǔ sōng fēng shū yuàn xiāng bǐ ， jī hū yě néng bìng jià qí qū ， shuí hái chī bǎo le chēng de gǎn qù luō hǔ xū 。
如嫣仙子成功晋级，天涯海阁又新添了两名离合期老怪物，如此实力，与松风书院相比，几乎也能并驾齐驱，谁还吃饱了撑的敢去捋虎须。
Qin Yan's beautiful face showed a determined expression as she sank her spirit into the Wanli Talisman and told her master about her resolve before transforming into a streak of lightning and flying away.
zhè jiù shì lí hé qī xiū shì de zuò yòng ， gēn běn bù xū yào chū shǒu ， jǐn jǐn zuò wēi shè ， jiù néng ràng dí rén dǎn hán le 。
这就是离合期修士的作用，根本不需要出手，仅仅做威慑，就能让敌人胆寒了。
...
……
……
A million miles away, on the Five-Colored Spirit Mountain, a woman in green court attire held up the legendary sword. Her face was filled with shock.
yún zhōu tiān fēng jùn ， mǒu rén jì hǎn zhì de huāng shān dà zé ， yī měi mào nǚ zǐ zhàn zài yī wàn zhàng gāo de shān fēng dǐng bù 。
云州天丰郡，某人迹罕至的荒山大泽，一美貌女子站在一万丈高的山峰顶部。
Of course, this woman was none other than the Five-Colored Fairy.
tā bù guò chuān zhe yī pǔ tōng de bái qún ér yǐ ， què piāo piāo rán yǒu rú jiǔ tiān de xiān zi 。
她不过穿着一普通的白裙而已，却飘飘然有如九天的仙子。
"A mere hundred years, that Lin boy actually advanced to Separation stage?" If not for knowing Meng Rugan wouldn't deceive her about such matters, the Five-Colored Fairy would never have believed it: "Yuan Yuan's judgment is really good. If that Lin boy is only over 300 years old, ascending to the Spirit World is highly possible."
kàn shàng qù shí ** suì nián jì ， yǒu zhe qīng guó qīng chéng de měi lì 。
看上去十**岁年纪，有着倾国倾城的美丽。
With this thought, she heaved a sigh of relief. She genuinely cared for her adopted daughter, even though they were allies with the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion.
rán ér shēn shàng suǒ sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā què fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhè jū rán shì yī míng yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
然而身上所散发出来的威压却非同小可，这居然是一名元婴中期的修仙者。
After all, humans and spirits had different destinies; Yuan Yuan was a celestial bird with a lifespan measured in thousands of years, while Lin Xuan as a cultivator couldn't compare.

If Yuan Yuan fell deeply in love, she would surely be heartbroken when he died. But if he could shatter the void...
cǐ shí tā de shǒu zhōng ， ná zhe yī yù zhì zhī wù ， wàn lǐ fú 。
此时她的手中，拿着一玉制之物，万里符。

"Uncle Lin, the Lushen Peak ahead is where the spring of Immortal Isle flows out. Except for a twenty-li radius around this peak where no cave can be established, you may choose any other spirit veins on our island," Miao Hongying said.
Above the sky, two streaks of lightning hovered. To the left was a young woman in green court attire, about 27 or 28 years old, at the early stage of Spirit婴 Core formation.
This was none other than Chen Hongying, whom Lin Xuan had met once before.
After parting ways with her sister, it was this woman who led Lin Xuan to choose a cave.
Though she was surprised by his joining the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion, her expression remained respectful and courteous.
What about the man?
The addition of two experts at the Separation stage would significantly boost our sect's strength to unimaginable levels.
Under such circumstances, it would be beneficial for the sect’s reputation. Therefore, Miao Hongying was quite persistent in offering assistance.
"Uncle Lin, please wait a moment," Miao Hongying said as her voice reached his ears.
"What is it?" Lin Xuan showed signs of impatience on his face; she really was too talkative.
"Haha, the saying goes that disciples should serve their elders. You shouldn't personally handle the establishment of this cave. Just choose a location," the woman in green said with a pleasing smile.
"Alright, you can send me a transmission talisman once it's ready."
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding his agreement. Although he was used to doing everything himself, as the Supreme Elder of Far Horizon Sea Pavilion, some habits needed to change.
After giving instructions to Miao Hongying, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of lightning and flew towards the western side of Immortal Isle.
Soon, an elegant building appeared in front of him.
Towering and magnificent, it was protected by a layer of azure light.
This was the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion's library. As one of the five major forces in Yunzhou, it housed an extensive collection of classics.
Lin Xuan descended his遁光.
...
Half an hour later.
"Grandmaster, this is the ninth floor of our library. All the classics here are left by generations of ancestors. Only the sect leader and Supreme Elder can enter; even advanced cultivators at the Spirit Core formation stage cannot," said a small woman who looked no more than 17 or 18 years old. Her demeanor was extremely respectful, her cultivation level likely in the late Spirit Core formation stage.
Although the grand ceremony of joining the sect had not been held yet, news of two Separation-stage cultivators joining the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion spread throughout the entire pavilion.
The woman's respect was extraordinary; she would rarely have a chance to see a Separation-stage cultivator like this in her daily life.
"Understood. You may go now," Lin Xuan waved his hand, showing no surprise or excitement.
"Yes, Grandmaster. If you need anything, please call me at any time," the female cultivator curtsied and then left respectfully.
Lin Xuan looked at the pavilion before him. With a flick of his left hand, a palm-sized token appeared in front of him.
He gently raised it, and a red light shot out from within.
A faint 'sizzling' sound entered his ears as the light screen shimmered like water waves. A one-meter-long passage appeared in his vision.
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction; he stepped into the pavilion.
Inside was much smaller than expected—only several meters long and wide, with a single bookshelf standing alone.
If not for seeing it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this was one of the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion's most important restricted areas.
There were hundreds of jade tubes on the shelf. These belonged to the Supreme Elders throughout history in the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion.
In other words, they contained the cultivation techniques and insights of Separation-stage cultivators. Even with Lin Xuan's composure, his eyes couldn't help but show intense interest.
Although he had managed to advance due to good fortune, he was still unsure how to proceed with his cultivation next.
For him, this place was a treasure trove, making the decision to join the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion correct indeed.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan scanned the bookshelf. He then raised his right hand and flicked his index finger, causing a vibrant green jade tube to fly into his palm.
Lin Xuan lowered his head as he sank his spirit into it.
This was named Long Kexin's cultivation insights.
Although she hadn't successfully ascended, this woman had reached the peak of Separation-stage cultivators. Her insights were worth studying in detail, and Lin Xuan carefully pondered them.
...
Meanwhile, the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion was filled with joy.
The addition of two Separation-stage cultivators meant a lot to the sect. Every woman knew its significance. Although Meng Rugan had ordered that the grand ceremony be kept simple, all members were actively preparing. They didn't want their Supreme Elders to feel neglected.
Gifts from overseas sects and families piled up like mountains, but they were not allowed to participate in the grand ceremony.
Despite this, a large number of cultivators gathered near Immortal Isle.
News spread throughout Yunzhou and other regions, creating an unprecedented impact.
Over the years, the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion had expanded too quickly, causing dissatisfaction among some sects and families. The annihilation of Wanshou Sect and Liuhun Valley couldn't deter all ambitious individuals. In the world of cultivation, strength spoke louder than words.
After the battle on Immortal Isle, their strength was weakened, but they now controlled twice as much territory.
What about the five major forces? The Twelve Cloudy States were full of hidden talents; not just them had Separation-stage experts.
They might lose in a one-on-one fight, but if several large sects joined forces, victory would be within reach.
...
However, before any plans could materialize, they were thwarted at the very beginning.
Miao Rugan's successful advancement and the addition of two new Separation-stage experts made their strength comparable to that of Loose Breeze Academy. Who would dare provoke a tiger?
The role of Separation-stage cultivators was clear—no need for action; just the threat alone could make enemies tremble.
...
In the Tianfeng County, Yunzhou, on an uninhabited mountain, a beautiful woman stood atop a 10,000-foot-high peak. She wore a simple white dress that made her look like a celestial maiden.
She looked about 25 or 26 years old and was breathtakingly beautiful.
However, the oppressive aura she exuded was formidable; she was at the middle stage of Spirit Core formation.
Qin Yan
In her hand, she held a colorful talisman—Wanli Talisman. It was sent by her master for her to return to the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion and attend Lin Xuan's grand ceremony.
Her expression was complex as memories of her interactions with Lin Xuan flashed before her eyes.
The Lushen Valley had been a foolish disciple, often mocked by his fellow cultivators, but when crossing streams and ravines, he displayed astonishing strength. Together they could repel enemies.
After the meeting on the moonlit night, they agreed to cultivate together.
What was that transmission talisman about? Qin Yan still didn't understand it fully.
But she couldn't deny that since their encounter in Xue Ming Mountain, she had developed a liking for Lin Xuan.
Now he not only wanted to join her sect but would also become the Supreme Elder.
Qin Yan bit her teeth. She wasn't jealous; she was genuinely happy for his advancement to Separation stage. But she refused to call him uncle.
A proud daughter of heaven, she had her pride. If she couldn't advance to Separation stage, she wouldn't return to the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion.
Qin Yan's beautiful face showed a determined expression as she sank her spirit into the Wanli Talisman and told her master about her resolve before transforming into a streak of lightning and flying away.
...
A million miles away, on the Five-Colored Spirit Mountain, a woman in green court attire held up the legendary sword. Her face was filled with shock.
Of course, this woman was none other than the Five-Colored Fairy.
"A mere hundred years, that Lin boy actually advanced to Separation stage?" If not for knowing Meng Rugan wouldn't deceive her about such matters, the Five-Colored Fairy would never have believed it: "Yuan Yuan's judgment is really good. If that Lin boy is only over 300 years old, ascending to the Spirit World is highly possible."
With this thought, she heaved a sigh of relief. She genuinely cared for her adopted daughter, even though they were allies with the Far Horizon Sea Pavilion.
