yǒu yāo zú , diàn zi shū ()
有妖族,电子书()
There were demons, e-books (fiction).
bù shǎo lín xuān dōu jué de yǎn shú , duō bàn shì bèi tā miè shā de dǎo méi jiā huo , rán hòu jiāng hún pò nà rù shòu hún fān jìn gù 。
不少林轩都觉得眼熟,多半是被他灭杀的倒霉家伙,然后将魂魄纳入兽魂幡禁锢。
Many of Lin Xuan found the scene familiar; they were mostly souls of unfortunate creatures he had exterminated and sealed within his Beast Soul Banner.
lín xuān cū lüè yī shù , jū rán yǒu jìn wàn zhī duō 。
林轩粗略一数,居然有近万之多。
Lin Xuan roughly counted, finding nearly ten thousand souls.
yīn fēng rú mò , lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī , jí biàn shì tā , yě gǎn jué yǒu diǎn tóu pí fā má 。
阴风如墨,林轩眼睛微眯,即便是他,也感觉有点头皮发麻。
The dark wind stirred, and Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. Even for him, it felt like his scalp was tingling.
xiǎo yā tou jiū jìng xiǎng yào gàn shá ?
小丫头究竟想要干啥?
What could this little girl be planning?
yào zhī dào shòu hún fān suī rán kě yǐ xī nà wàn qiān hún pò , dàn què bù néng jiāng shí wù chǔ cún 。
要知道兽魂幡虽然可以吸纳万千魂魄,但却不能将实物储存。
After all, while the Beast Soul Banner could absorb countless souls, it couldn't store physical objects.
yuè ér yī shēng qīng chì , yù shǒu qīng qīng xiàng qián yī zhǐ 。
月儿一声轻叱,玉手轻轻向前一指。
Moon's voice was soft as she pointed her jade hand forward.
dùn shí wàn guǐ qí hǒu , nà shēng yīn gōu hún dàng pò , bù lùn shì xiū shì hái shì yāo zú , cǐ shí cǐ kè , jīng guò shòu hún fān de jì liàn yǐ hòu , quán dōu biàn chéng yuān hún è guǐ le 。
顿时万鬼齐吼,那声音勾魂荡魄,不论是修士还是妖族,此时此刻,经过兽魂幡的祭炼以后,全都变成冤魂恶鬼了。
Instantly, a chorus of wails echoed. The voices were haunting and terrifying; both cultivators and demons, after being purified by the Beast Soul Banner, had turned into vengeful spirits.
kě pà de lì qì pèi rán ér chū , zhè wàn qiān guǐ wù , huà wèi yī dào dào cán yǐng , zhēng xiān kǒng hòu de xiàng dì shàng gǔ shòu de shī tǐ pū le guò qù 。
可怕的戾气沛然而出,这万千鬼物,化为一道道残影,争先恐后的向地上古兽的尸体扑了过去。
A formidable aura emerged, and the myriad ghostly creatures transformed into streaks of shadow, rushing to devour the ancient beast's corpse.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
Could it be...
lín xuān yě suàn jiàn shí guǎng bó , kě kàn jiàn zhè yí mù yě bù yóu yǒu jǐ fēn jīng è , wēi wēi tàn xī , zhè gǔ shòu hái zhēn shì dǎo méi yǐ jí 。
林轩也算见识广博,可看见这一幕也不由有几分惊愕,微微叹息,这古兽还真是倒霉以极。
Lin Xuan was no stranger to such scenes, but he couldn't help feeling a bit shocked. He sighed softly; this ancient beast must have been extremely unlucky.
wàn guǐ yǐ jīng pū le shàng qù , jiāng è yú de shī tǐ fēn shí 。
万鬼已经扑了上去,将鳄鱼的尸体分食。
The ghosts had already begun their feast on the crocodile's body. Despite being over eight hundred feet long, the sheer number of spirits ensured that not even an inch of the beast was left.
xī suī rán zú yǒu bā 、 jiǔ bǎi zhàng de yàng zi , dàn guǐ wù shù liàng tài duō , wàn qiān yuān hún yí gè yī kǒu , yě jiāng xī chī le gè piàn jiǎ bù liú 。
牺虽然足有八、九百丈的样子,但鬼物数量太多,万千冤魂一个一口,也将牺吃了个片甲不留。
Given its age and the quality of its skin and bones as excellent material for cultivation, it would be a struggle to defeat such a powerful entity in this stage. However, Lin Xuan's luck had been good; he had been teleported to a sparsely populated area without encountering any rivals.
ér zhè gǔ shòu huó de suì yuè gòu jiǔ , pí máo gǔ gé jì rán shì shàng jiā de liàn qì cái liào , lǐ miàn suǒ yùn hán de jīng yuán kěn dìng bù shǎo 。
而这古兽活的岁月够久,皮毛骨骼既然是上佳的炼器材料,里面所蕴含的精元肯定不少。
Even if he did meet others, there was no need to fear. After all, he was also at the Separation Realm and could rely on Moon for support. Even if faced with someone like Wang Tinglou, he still had a chance to escape.
duì yú zhè xiē yīn hún guǐ wù , kě shì jué duì de dà bǔ 。
对于这些阴魂鬼物,可是绝对的大补。
However, not everyone was as fortunate as Lin Xuan.
ér yuān hún de shí lì zēng qiáng le , shòu hún fān de wēi lì zì rán yě huì shuǐ zhǎng chuán gāo 。
而冤魂的实力增强了,兽魂幡的威力自然也会水涨船高。
Huang Zha Dao Ren was an advanced-stage Immortal in his mid-advanced stage. As one of the senior elders of his sect, he was usually quite formidable.
lín xuān kàn dé mù dèng kǒu dāi , dàn suí hòu yòu jīng xǐ le qǐ lái 。
林轩看得目瞪口呆,但随后又惊喜了起来。
But everyone has their own struggles. He had been troubled by a bottleneck for over a century and despite his efforts, his cultivation hadn't improved at all. Even elixirs and medicines were ineffective; it was a waste of time that frustrated him deeply.
liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè , méi xiǎng dào shòu hún fān hái yǒu zhè bān miào yòng de 。
脸上露出若有所思之色,没想到兽魂幡还有这般妙用的。
What could one do?
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù , qí shí bù guò yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu 。
整个过程说起来繁复,其实不过一盏茶的功夫。
Cultivation was about hard work; there was no shortcut to success.
suí hòu yuè ér xīn niàn yī dòng nà xiē yuān hún lì guǐ , jiù huí dào le tiān shàng de xuán wō , mó qì shōu liǎn , shòu hún fān chóng xīn fú xiàn zài yǎn qián , yuè ér jiāng xī xī rù le yù shǒu lǐ miàn 。
随后月儿心念一动那些冤魂厉鬼,就回到了天上的漩涡,魔气收敛,兽魂幡重新浮现在眼前,月儿将牺吸入了玉手里面。
However, fate had given him an opportunity. He obtained the Demon Realm Talisman by chance.
“ shào yé ……”
“少爷……”
The Demon Realm!
“ ń ……” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu , suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ , jiāng yuè ér yī guǒ , jiù xiàng zhe qián fāng fēi qù 。
“嗯……”林轩点了点头,随后浑身青芒一起,将月儿一裹,就向着前方飞去。
As a high-stage cultivator, he knew about this legend. It opened every nine thousand years, offering unimaginable opportunities along with endless dangers.
ér lín xuān bù zhī dào de shì ” jiù zài tā xiǎng yào yàn zhèng nà yù tǒng zhōng dì tú zhēn wěi de shí kè zhěng gè péng lái shān , què yíng lái le dì yī bō shā lù de ** le 。
而林轩不知道的是”就在他想要验证那玉筒中地图真伪的时刻整个蓬莱山,却迎来了第一波杀戮的**了。
It was said that the elixirs within were miraculous; taking them would allow one to transcend their current realm without needing to ascend to heaven in a single day.
xiū luó zhī mén tóng shí duì liǎng jiè dǎ kāi , jìn rù lǐ miàn de rén lèi 、 yāo zú yǐ jí yīn hún guǐ wù , jiā zài yì qǐ , shù liàng zú yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō 。
修罗之门同时对两界打开,进入里面的人类、妖族以及阴魂鬼物,加在一起,数量足有数百之多。
Unable to resist the temptation, who wouldn't want to become an advanced-stage cultivator, even a Separation Realm?
qí zhōng , yǒu yī xiǎo bù fèn , yǐ jīng sǐ yú le péng lái shān běn shēn de jìn zhì , dàn dà bù fèn xiū xiān zhě , yī jiù ān rán wú shì 。
其中,有一小部分,已经死于了蓬莱山本身的禁制,但大部分修仙者,依旧安然无事。
After thorough preparations, he entered the Demon Realm.
zhè shù bǎi rén zhōng , yǒu bú dào shí fēn zhī yī de dá dào le lí hé qí yú de , dà bù fèn hái shì yǐ yuán yīng qī wéi zhǔ 。
这数百人中,有不到十分之一的达到了离合其余的,大部分还是以元婴期为主。
The journey was uneventful, and no treasures were found until recently when he encountered the white-robed man ahead of him. The man looked around twenty years old, with a strikingly handsome appearance; he was an early-stage Immortal.
fàng zài wài miàn , gù rán shì yī fāng bà zhǔ , kě zài xiū luó zhī mén zhōng jǐn jǐn shì bù rù yǎn de xiǎo zú 。
放在外面,固然是一方霸主,可在修罗之门中仅仅是不入眼的小卒。
Huang Sang Dao Ren decided to kill for treasure. While such incidents are common in the cultivation world, killing for treasure among advanced-stage cultivators is rare. Most independent cultivators at this stage have powerful sects or families backing them.
ér gù lǎo xiāng chuán , xiū luó zhī mén suī rán wēi xiǎn , lǐ miàn de bǎo wù yě lìng rén chuí xián 。
而故老相传,修罗之门虽然危险,里面的宝物也令人垂涎。
Even if a disciple from a major sect were killed outside, unless they were prodigies with deep connections, their sect would ignore it as a loss.
ér néng fǒu qiǎng dào bǎo wù , chú le běn shēn de shí lì , hái yào kàn jī yuán rú hé , fǒu zé jí biàn shì wàng tíng lóu zhè yàng de cún zài rú guǒ dào wù , yī yàng zhǐ yǒu kōng shǒu ér guī 。
而能否抢到宝物,除了本身的实力,还要看机缘如何,否则即便是望亭楼这样的存在如果倒雾,一样只有空手而归。
Reputation was meaningless; what mattered was practical gains.
yùn qì zhè zhǒng dōng xī , shuí yě shuō bù qīng chǔ xiǎng yào yǒu gèng duō de jī huì qiǎng dào bǎo wù , zuì jiǎn dān , zuì zhí jiē de fāng fǎ jiù shì jiāng jìng zhēng duì shǒu mǒ chú 。
运气这种东西,谁也说不清楚想要有更多的机会抢到宝物,最简单,最直接的方法就是将竞争对手抹除。
But for advanced-stage cultivators like Huang Sang Dao Ren, even minor offenses could lead to severe consequences. If a powerful entity like Wang Tinglou were killed, the entire sect or family would be implicated, leading to an all-out conflict between two major powers.
zhè ge dào lǐ , rén rén dōu qīng chǔ , yú shì zài jìn rù xiū luó zhī mén yuē shù gè shí chén yǐ hòu , zhè dì yī bō shā lù , jiù zhòu rán kāi shǐ le 。
这个道理,人人都清楚,于是在进入修罗之门约数个时辰以后,这第一波杀戮,就骤然开始了。
Thus, advanced-stage cultivators rarely engaged in such acts; let alone killing for treasure.
rén lèi yǔ yāo guǐ pèng zài yì qǐ bú yòng shuō shuāng fāng běn lái jiù méi yǒu shén me hǎo gǎn , kěn dìng huì pīn gè nǐ sǐ wǒ huó 。
人类与妖鬼碰在一起不用说双方本来就没有什么好感,肯定会拼个你死我活。
But here, dying in the Demon Realm was normal and untraceable. So Huang Sang Dao Ren's greed was awakened.
biàn shì xiū shì yǔ xiū shì xiāng yù chú fēi shí lì xiāng chà fǎng fú , shuí yě méi yǒu miè shā duì shǒu de bǎ wò fǒu zé yě huì dà dǎ chū shǒu de 。
便是修士与修士相遇除非实力相差仿佛,谁也没有灭杀对手的把握否则也会大打出手的。
However, he now regretted his decision bitterly. The man was clearly a Separation Realm entity, not an early-stage Immortal as he had assumed. His aura alone paralyzed Huang Sang Dao Ren, and the skull-like figure pounced on him.
lí hé qī cún zài fēn fēn lù chū liáo yá , zài tā men yǎn lǐ , yuán yīng bù guò shì lóu yǐ , jū rán gǎn lái zhè lǐ hé zì jǐ zhēng qiǎng bǎo wù , nà bú shì huó nì le ?
离合期存在纷纷露出獠牙,在他们眼里,元婴不过是蝼蚁,居然敢来这里和自己争抢宝物,那不是活腻了?
A scream echoed, but it was too late; even hisyuan baby didn't escape.
ruò ròu qiáng shí , hǎo hǎo de péng lái shān , zhuǎn shùn jiān , bèi xuè xīng suǒ yǎn mái 。
弱肉强食,好好的蓬莱山,转瞬间,被血腥所掩埋。
"Hmph, an Immortal is just a lowly ant. This feeling is so delightful... Lin Brother, will you be surprised when we meet again?"
fǎn dào shì lí hé qī xiāng yù , jí biàn yí gè shì rén lèi , yí gè shì yāo guǐ , yě huì shì ruò wú dǔ de chā shēn ér guī , cǐ shí cǐ kè , hái bú dào tā men dòng shǒu huǒ bìng de shí kè 。
反倒是离合期相遇,即便一个是人类,一个是妖鬼,也会视若无睹的插身而归,此时此刻,还不到他们动手火并的时刻。
Field Xiao Jian smiled smugly, unaware that Lin Xuan had also reached the Separation Realm.
shā lù yì zhí zài jìn xíng zhe , ér lín xuān yùn qì bù cuò , bèi chuán sòng dào dào dì diǎn ” rén yān xī bó , bìng méi yǒu yù jiàn qí tā de jìng zhēng zhě 。
杀戮一直在进行着,而林轩运气不错,被传送到到地点”人烟稀薄,并没有遇见其他的竞争者。
Who would be more shocked?
bù guò jiù suàn zhēn yù jiàn le , yě méi yǒu shén me hǎo hài pà de , bì jìng zì jǐ yě shì lí hé , ér qiě yǒu yuè ér lián shǒu , jiù suàn shì duì shàng wàng tíng lóu , dǎ bù guò , yě yǒu jī huì táo zǒu 。
不过就算真遇见了,也没有什么好害怕的,毕竟自己也是离合,而且有月儿联手,就算是对上望亭楼,打不过,也有机会逃走。
Meanwhile, in an unremarkable valley.
rán ér bìng bú shì měi gè rén , dōu yǒu lín xuān zhè yàng de hǎo yùn qì 。
然而并不是每个人,都有林轩这样的好运气。
While separation realm cultivators didn't always fight, even those at the same stage could have vastly different strengths.
huáng zá dào rén shì yī míng yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě , zuò wèi běn pài de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo zhī yī , tā píng shí yě wēi fēng yǐ jí 。
黄杂道人是一名元婴中期的修仙者,做为本派的太上长老之一,他平时也威风以极。
Aaah!
kě měi gè rén dōu yǒu měi gè rén de kǔ chǔ , tā shòu píng jǐng de kùn rǎo yǐ yǒu bǎi nián zhī jiǔ le , zhè bǎi nián lái , bù lùn zěn yàng nǔ lì , fǎ lì dōu sī háo zēng zhǎng yě wú , shèn zhì fú yòng líng dān miào yào yě méi yǒu xiào guǒ , zhè yàng bái bái làng fèi guāng yīn tā dāng rán shì xīn yǒu bù gān de 。
可每个人都有每个人的苦楚,他受瓶颈的困扰已有百年之久了,这百年来,不论怎样努力,法力都丝毫增长也无,甚至服用灵丹妙药也没有效果,这样白白浪费光阴他当然是心有不甘的。
The roar was like thunder. Anyone passing by would be stunned; a monstrous creature with a fearsome appearance stood out.
rán ér yòu néng rú hé ?
然而又能如何?
It was over two meters tall, had four arms and two heads, its head resembled that of a lizard, and it had thick scales covering its body...
xiū xiān xiū xiān , yào de jiù shì jiǎo tà shí dì , gēn běn méi yǒu bàn fǎ kě yǐ qǔ qiǎo 。
修仙修仙,要的就是脚踏实地,根本没有办法可以取巧。
Needless to say, this was a demon from the Lower Realm, and its strength was formidable, at the Separation Realm stage.
rán ér tiān wú jué rén zhī lù , yī cì jī yuán qiǎo hé , tā dé dào le xiū luó yù pèi 。
然而天无绝人之路,一次机缘巧合,他得到了修罗玉佩。
If Lin Xuan encountered such an entity without Moon's help, he would likely be in a tough fight.
xiū luó zhī mén !
修罗之门!
The Lower Realm, despite being nominally lower, had true power comparable to the Spirit Realm. Its cultivation techniques were so mysterious that even human cultivators couldn't fathom them.
zuò wèi gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě , tā dāng rán tīng jiàn guò zhè ge chuán shuō 。
做为高阶修仙者,他当然听见过这个传说。
At the same level, there was no suspense; humans, whether cultivators or demons, would surely lose.
jiǔ qiān nián kāi qǐ yī cì 。
九千年开启一次。
But at this moment, the two-headed four-armed monster was powerless. It had provoked Wang Tinglou, who had hidden his aura and attacked him. As the first expert in the human world, Wang Tinglou was near the peak of Separation Realm.
wú jìn de wēi xiǎn , dàn yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì ràng rén chuí xián de jī yuán 。
无尽的危险,但与之伴随的是让人垂涎的机缘。
Regardless of his motivation for entering the Demon Realm, he had a ninety percent chance of passing through the heavenly tribulation.
jù shuō , lǐ miàn de dān yào shén qí yǐ jí , fú shí yǐ hòu suī bù néng bái rì fēi shēng , dàn tū pò jìng jiè què chuò chuò yǒu yú 。
据说,里面的丹药神奇以极,服食以后虽不能白日飞升,但突破境界却绰绰有余。
For others, the Demon Realm was dangerous, but few could threaten Wang Tinglou. Facing this two-headed four-armed monster, Wang Tinglou didn't even use histreasure; just two sword beams formed by his mana were enough to repel it.
yú shì tā méi néng rěn zhù yòu huò , shuí yòu bù xiǎng chéng wéi yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě , shèn zhì chuán shuō zhōng de lí hé 。
于是他没能忍住诱惑,谁又不想成为元婴后期的大修仙者,甚至传说中的离合。
Wang Tinglou crossed his arms behind his back, still appearing youthful and graceful despite being in his forties. He had no time for a demon or ghost, his expression turning fierce as sword beams fell like a waterfall, splitting the monster in half.
There were demons, e-books (fiction).
Many of Lin Xuan found the scene familiar; they were mostly souls of unfortunate creatures he had exterminated and sealed within his Beast Soul Banner.
Lin Xuan roughly counted, finding nearly ten thousand souls.
The dark wind stirred, and Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. Even for him, it felt like his scalp was tingling.
What could this little girl be planning?
After all, while the Beast Soul Banner could absorb countless souls, it couldn't store physical objects.
"Quickly!"
Moon's voice was soft as she pointed her jade hand forward.
Instantly, a chorus of wails echoed. The voices were haunting and terrifying; both cultivators and demons, after being purified by the Beast Soul Banner, had turned into vengeful spirits.
A formidable aura emerged, and the myriad ghostly creatures transformed into streaks of shadow, rushing to devour the ancient beast's corpse.
Could it be...
