lín xuān bìng bù zhī dào tíng lóu yǔ gǔ mó zhōng jiàn le shén me ， shèn zhì chà diǎn zài nà shàng ， gǔ jìn zhì zhōng yǔn luò ， cǐ shí ， tā yǐ jìn rù le tōng dào shēn chù 。
林轩并不知道亭楼与古魔盅见了什么，甚至差点在那上，古禁制中陨落，此时，他已进入了通道深处。
Lin Xuan did not know what had transpired between Tinglou and the Ancient Demon Vase. He almost perished in that place, within the ancientprohibition. Now, he was deep into the passage.
liǎng biān de shān bì ， tū āo bù píng yǐ jí ， tōng dào zhōng ， shèn zhì hái mí màn zhe yī zhǒng zǐ sè de wù qì 。
两边的山壁，凸凹不平以极，通道中，甚至还弥漫着一种紫色的雾气。
The walls on both sides were uneven, and a purple mist permeated the corridor.
yǒu dú ！
有毒！
It's poisonous!
rú guǒ shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， suī rán yě néng yòng hù zhào dǎng zhù ， dàn fǎ lì de xiāo hào ， kě jiù huì biàn dé fēi cháng de jù liè le ， ér qiě hái huì wèi xíng dòng duō shǎo dài lái yī xiē bù biàn zhī chù 。
如果是普通的修仙者，虽然也能用护罩挡住，但法力的消耗，可就会变得非常的剧烈了，而且还会为行动多少带来一些不便之处。
For an ordinary cultivator, while they could use a protective shield to block it, the consumption of their essence energy would be incredibly intense, and this would also bring some inconvenience to their actions.
rán ér ， lín xuān què shì ruò wú dǔ ， bì huàn yōu huǒ běn lái jiù shì tiān xià jué dú zhī wù ， biàn huà wèi huàn líng tiān huǒ hòu wēi lì gèng shèng yī chóu ， lín xuān xiū liàn le cǐ shén tōng ， bǎi dú bù qīn bù gǎn shuō ， dàn zhǐ yào bú shì tài lì hài de dú sù ， yì bān dōu duì tā méi yǒu shén me yòng tú 。
然而，林轩却视若无睹，碧幻幽火本来就是天下绝毒之物，变化为幻灵天火后威力更胜一筹，林轩修炼了此神通，百毒不侵不敢说，但只要不是太厉害的毒素，一般都对他没有什么用途。
However, Lin Xuan paid no heed. The Illusory Phantasm Fire was originally a supreme poison in the world, and after transforming into Illusory Heavenly Fire, its power had increased even further. Lin Xuan had cultivated this divine technique, so he was not invulnerable to poisons; however, as long as they weren't too potent, most of them were useless against him.
tōng dào zhōng kōng wú yī wù ， dàn lín xuān què bù gǎn zhēn de zǒu dé tài kuài le ， bù zhī wèi shén me ， zǒu zài zhè lǐ ， tā jìng fǎng fú tà zú yōu míng guǐ yù ” biàn shì dāng chū zài wú dìng hé ， yě bù céng yǒu zhè yàng de gǎn jué 。
通道中空无一物，但林轩却不敢真的走得太快了，不知为什么，走在这里，他竟仿佛踏足幽冥鬼域”便是当初在无定河，也不曾有这样的感觉。
The corridor was empty, but Lin Xuan did not dare walk too quickly. For some reason, walking here felt like treading on the abyss and netherworld—something he had never experienced even in the Indeterminate River.
dàn lín xuān yě bù gǎn tíng bù ， tiān zhī dào tíng lóu yǔ gǔ mó ， shén me shí hòu huì cóng hòu miàn zhuī lái de 。
但林轩也不敢停步，天知道亭楼与古魔，什么时候会从后面追来的。
But Lin Xuan could not stop either. He didn't know when Tinglou or the Ancient Demon would catch up from behind.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu jiāng fǎ bǎo jì chū ， dàn shǒu shàng què niē le liǎng zhāng fú zhuàn ， zhēn pèng jiàn shén me yì wài biàn gù ， zhè dōng xī kǒng pà gèng yǒu yòng chù 。
林轩并没有将法宝祭出，但手上却捏了两张符篆，真碰见什么意外变故，这东西恐怕更有用处。
Lin Xuan did not summon any divine techniques but was still cautious, as he stepped into a trap.
sān bǎi nián de fēng fēng yǔ yǔ ” lín xuān kě shì zài wēi xiǎn zhōng mō pá gǔn dǎ chū lái de 。
三百年的风风雨雨”林轩可是在危险中摸爬滚打出来的。
Thisprohibition itself did not have an offensive nature, but it could drive one to madness and death.
tū rán ， qián miàn chuán lái yī zhèn qī lì de guǐ kū ， lín xuān sà rán tíng bù 。
突然，前面传来一阵凄厉的鬼哭，林轩飒然停步。
It stirred heart demons!
yǎn jīng wēi mī ” xiàng qián fāng wàng qù ， hēi hū hū de ， bù tài kàn de qīng chǔ 。
眼睛微眯”像前方望去，黑乎乎的，不太看得清楚。
This was the most terrifying kind of illusion. Among the hundred arts in cultivation, illusions were the most mysterious and hardest to master. Their strength varied greatly.
mù lì suǒ jí ， zuì duō èr shí zhàng yú ， bù zhī hé shí ， shén shí zài yí cì shòu dào yā zhì ， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， zhè zhǒng gǎn jué ， hái zhēn yǒu xiē biē qū 。
目力所及，最多二十丈余，不知何时，神识再一次受到压制，林轩叹了口气，这种感觉，还真有些憋屈。
Generally, they wouldn't show much utility, but sometimes, they could produce unexpected results.
bù guò huà yòu shuō huí lái ， zài zhè zhǒng guǐ yì de huán jìng zhōng ， xiǎng bì tíng lóu yǔ gǔ mó ， jiù suàn pèng qiǎo yǔ zì jǐ xuǎn dìng tóng yī tiáo tōng lù ， yě bì dìng bù gǎn zǒu dé tài kuài le 。
不过话又说回来，在这种诡异的环境中，想必亭楼与古魔，就算碰巧与自己选定同一条通路，也必定不敢走得太快了。
For example, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox from the Three Demons of Spirit Realm.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān yòu sōng le kǒu qì ， jì xù xiàng qián fāng zǒu qù 。
念及至此，林轩又松了口气，继续像前方走去。
In that ancient battle, despite the might of the Arrogant King, the other scattered fairy kings and demons were not his match. However, with her "Heavenly Demon Heart Moon" divine technique, she transformed earth elemental energy into a powerful illusion, causing the Arrogant King to suffer greatly.
jǐn guǎn tā yě bù zhī dào nà lǐ huì yǒu shén me 。
尽管他也不知道那里会有什么。
She was one of the few who could block the Arrogant King's might, aside from true immortals.
xiān rén yí bǎo ？
仙人遗宝？
In terms of strength alone, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and other scattered fairy kings were not much different. It was hard to say who was stronger or weaker. But once someone stepped into her pre-set illusion trap, even the Arrogant King might have suffered a little.
hái shì yī tiáo sǐ lù ？
还是一条死路？
This was the mystery of illusions.
shèn zhì kōng dàng dàng de ， shén me yě wú ？
甚至空荡荡的，什么也无？
They seemed useless but could kill powerful enemies effortlessly in specific situations.
huò zhě gān cuì yǒu jù dà de wēi xiǎn qián fú zhe ？
或者干脆有巨大的危险潜伏着？
Penglai Mountain, one of the Three Holy Sites, had seen many cultivators enter over the centuries. Of course, the final underground palace would not open, and no one could covet the immortals' treasures. But these various passages were accessible. Many who ventured into them to explore their depths had died from heart demons.
yī qiè jiē shì wèi zhī zhī shù 。
一切皆是未知之数。
Their souls couldn't ascend to heaven; instead, they merged with the ghostly mists in the passage, making this illusionprohibition even stronger.
dàn bàn tú ér fèi shì bù kě néng de 。
但半途而废是不可能的。
Lin Xuan's face showed pain as images of ghosts and spirits passed before his eyes.
lín xuān bú shì qīng xīn guǎ yù zhī tú ， yòu zěn me dǐ dǎng dé zhù xiān jiā zhī bǎo de yòu huò 。
林轩不是清心寡欲之徒，又怎么抵挡得住仙家之宝的诱惑。
"Master, what happened?"
fǎn zhèng yǐ shàng le zéi chuán ， jiù shì yǒu zài dà de wēi xiǎn ” yě yào qián qù kàn kàn 。
反正已上了贼船，就是有再大的危险”也要前去看看。
A beautiful maiden appeared, her white light flashing. Lin Xuan had encountered danger; how could Mo'er stay safely at the Celestial Oracle Mansion?
huà yòu shuō huí lái ， zhè yī lù ， sī háo méi yǒu rú yān xiān zi de zōng jì ， yě bù zhī dào jiě jiě shēn zài nǎ lǐ 。
话又说回来，这一路，丝毫没有如嫣仙子的踪迹，也不知道姐姐身在哪里。
The illusion array was useless to her. The little girl was a reincarnation of the Arrogant King, and while this illusion caused Lin Xuan immense pain, compared to the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's divine technique, it was insignificant.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， rú jīn kě méi yǒu shí jiān dān xīn bié gè ， zì jǐ miàn lín de má fán yào dà dé duō 。
林轩摇了摇头，如今可没有时间担心别个，自己面临的麻烦要大得多。
Meanwhile, in other passages,
wū ……
呜……
Almost everyone encountered trouble.
tū rán ， yī zhèn shān fēng chuī guò …… bú duì ， zhè lǐ míng míng shēn chù dì dǐ ， zěn me huì yǒu shān fēng ne ？
突然，一阵山风吹过……不对，这里明明身处地底，怎么会有山风呢？
Boom!
lín xuān gāng yī dòng niàn ， sì zhōu de mó wù jiù sà rán fān yǒng le qǐ lái 。
林轩刚一动念，四周的魔雾就飒然翻涌了起来。
Explosive sounds filled his ears as light radiated everywhere.
yuán běn shì zǐ sè ， yùn yǒu jù dú ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ” què tū rán biàn chéng le huī bái zhī sè 。
原本是紫色，蕴有剧毒，但此时此刻”却突然变成了灰白之色。
In the passage where Tinglou was located, it was incredibly wide. A giant ten meters tall was cut down by a single sword stroke.
yī zhǒng lìng rén máo gǔ sǒng rán de yīn lěng gǎn jué 。
一种令人毛骨悚然的阴冷感觉。
The giant's skin was yellow and seemed to be composed of soil.
suí hòu sì zhōu chuán lái le qī lì de guǐ kū 。
随后四周传来了凄厉的鬼哭。
Earth Spirit!
bú duì ， yě bú shì guǐ kū ， ér shì pǔ tōng rén de kū qì ， shāng xīn āi yuàn yǐ jí ， fǎng fú dù juān qì xuè ……
不对，也不是鬼哭，而是普通人的哭泣，伤心哀怨以极，仿佛杜鹃泣血……
Also known as Earth Puppet, simply put, it was a monster created from earth elemental energy. However, this guy's strength was at the Separation Stage.
lín xuān de xīn ， hěn hěn de tiào le yī xià ， fǎng fú bèi jiū jǐn 。
林轩的心，狠狠的跳了一下，仿佛被揪紧。
This wasn't the hardest part; he had his head severed by Tinglou's sword but grew another one almost instantly, seemingly indestructible.
ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ ， jiē xià lái de biàn gù ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān jīng lì shǐ fēng fù ， yě bù yóu de lù chū le zhèn hài zhī sè 。
而这仅仅是开始，接下来的变故，即便以林轩经历史丰富，也不由得露出了震骇之色。
Tinglou frowned and struck again.
zhǐ jiàn zhěng gè shān bì ， bù lùn tóu dǐng hái shì liǎng cè ， jìng rán fú xiàn chū yī zhāng zhāng de rén liǎn lái le ， nán nǚ lǎo yòu ， bù yī ér zú ， ér qiě měi yī zhāng liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， jiē xiě mǎn le tòng kǔ ， zài āi āi de kū 。
只见整个山壁，不论头顶还是两侧，竟然浮现出一张张的人脸来了，男女老幼，不一而足，而且每一张脸上的表情，皆写满了痛苦，在哀哀的哭。
It wasn't silent or deafening, just a regular strike.
zhè shì shén me ” mò fēi zì jǐ lái dào le yōu míng dì fǔ ？
这是什么”莫非自己来到了幽冥地府？
But the puppet was cut down once more.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng ” yě lù chū le yī sī máng rán zhī sè ， nà kū shēng kàn qǐ lái shì wú hài de ， dàn què néng tiǎo dòng rén de xīn mó 。
林轩的脸上”也露出了一丝茫然之色，那哭声看起来是无害的，但却能挑动人的心魔。
A large hole appeared in front of him, with the monster's chest pierced by a single sword.
shì sú wǔ lín zhī zhōng ， dǎ zuò chuí liàn nèi lì de shí hòu shàng pà zī shēng xīn mó ， xiū dào zhě gèng bú yòng shuō 。
世俗武林之中，打坐锤炼内力的时候尚怕滋生心魔，修道者更不用说。
There were no others here; Tinglou didn't need to hide anything. He now revealed his true strength.
ruò lùn shí lì ， tóng jiē xiū shì huò xǔ wú yī néng yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ ， tā xiū liàn zhī xùn sù ， gèng shì qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， rán ér fán shì jiē yǒu liǎng miàn lái zhe 。
若论实力，同阶修士或许无一能与林轩相比，他修炼之迅速，更是前无古人，后无来者，然而凡事皆有两面来着。
"Good job," the Nosed Dragon couldn't help but clap: "Tinglou, I see potential in you. You're at the Separation Stage, yet you can kill a Separation Initial-stage monster with one strike. Such power and divine techniques are rare among our peers even in our upper realm. If I could guide you further..."
lín xuān jìn jí xùn sù ， gù rán yǒu mò dà de hǎo chù ， dàn yóu cǐ suǒ chǎn shēng de pò zhàn ， yě shì fēi cháng de míng xiǎn 。
林轩晋级迅速，固然有莫大的好处，但由此所产生的破绽，也是非常的明显。
"Just shut up," Tinglou frowned, interrupting Nosed Dragon's words impatiently: "You're wasting your breath. You think saying useless things can solve this predicament? How about figuring out how to get through here?"
dào xīn bù wěn ！
道心不稳！
"Tsk, be patient, Tinglou. Didn't you notice anything different in the elemental energies of this passage?"
jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì xīn jìng de mó liàn yǔ fǎ lì de zēng zhǎng xiāng bǐ ， míng xiǎn zhì hòu le xiē 。
简单的说，就是心境的磨练与法力的增长相比，明显滞后了些。
"Are you talking about these yellow mists?"
xī rì rú yān xiān zi yě yù dào zhè ge wèn tí ， cái shòu kùn yú lí hé chū qī de píng jǐng ， fǎ lì yǐ bù néng cùn jìn yí bù ， dàn wú lùn rú hé yě mài bù rù zhōng qī de 。
昔日如嫣仙子也遇到这个问题，才受困于离合初期的瓶颈，法力已不能寸进一步，但无论如何也迈不入中期的。
"Yes, it seems you're teachable. The entire passage is filled with yellow mists formed from earth elemental energy. And that puppet is an earth elemental energy product. In such a situation, it naturally can quickly revive," said the True Dragon Immortal lazily.
kǔ nǎo bù yǐ ， gù ér cǐ nǚ cái xuǎn zé le rù shì ， yǐ táng táng lí hé qī gāo shǒu ， yún zhōu dì yī nǚ xiū de shēn fèn ， zì fēng fǎ lì ， wěi zhuāng chéng yī líng dòng qī de sàn xiū shào nǚ ， cháng biàn rén jiān kǔ chǔ ， yǐ qiú jìng jiè tū pò …………
苦恼不已，故而此女才选择了入世，以堂堂离合期高手，云州第一女修的身份，自封法力，伪装成一灵动期的散修少女，尝遍人间苦楚，以求境界突破…………
"So there's no way to kill it under these circumstances?" Tinglou gritted his teeth.
ér lín xuān de qíng kuàng ， qí shí hái yào bǐ rú yān xiān zi yán zhòng dé duō ， zhǐ bù guò yī shí shàng wèi bào fā bà le 。
而林轩的情况，其实还要比如嫣仙子严重得多，只不过一时尚未爆发罢了。
"There are ways, actually. It's quite simple; just disrupt the nearby elemental energies."
kě wèn tí bì jìng shì cún zài de 。
可问题毕竟是存在的。
"Disrupt?"
tā suī rán yǐ fēi cháng xiǎo xīn ， kě hái shì yī jiǎo tà rù xiàn jǐng 。
他虽然已非常小心，可还是一脚踏入陷阱。
Tinglou was stunned for a moment before showing a thoughtful expression. The earth puppet had already rushed towards him.
zhè jìn zhì běn shēn bìng bù jù yǒu gōng jī ， dàn què néng gòu ràng rén diān kuáng ér sǐ 。
这禁制本身并不具有攻击，但却能够让人癫狂而死。
"Break!"
tiǎo dòng xīn mó ！
挑动心魔！
Tinglou struck again with his sword, and the divine light blinded everyone. His strike seemed to pierce through space itself. Without any doubt, another Separation Stage earth puppet was instantly killed.
zhè shì zuì wèi kě pà de yī zhǒng huàn shù ， ér zài xiū xiān bǎi yì zhī zhōng ， huàn shù běn lái jiù shì zuì wèi shén mì ， zuì nán zhǎng wò de yī zhǒng 。
这是最为可怕的一种幻术，而在修仙百艺之中，幻术本来就是最为神秘，最难掌握的一种。
A flash of light revealed that this guy was split in two, more severely injured than before. He fell to the ground, but countless yellow mists rushed into his wounds.
qiáng ruò yě hěn nán shuō 。
强弱也很难说。
However, due to the severity of the injuries, the recovery speed was slower. Tinglou's pupils constricted; he did not follow Nosed Dragon's advice to disrupt nearby elemental energies.
yì bān lái shuō bú huì zhǎn xiàn chū duō dà de yòng tú ， dàn yǒu shí hòu ， què yòu néng fā huī chū yì xiǎng bù dào de xiào guǒ 。
一般来说不会展现出多大的用途，但有时候，却又能发挥出意想不到的效果。
This place was deep underground where earth elemental energy was abundant. Such a move would be effective but would take much effort.
bǐ rú shuō líng jiè sān yāo wáng zhī jiǔ wěi tiān hú 。
比如说灵界三妖王之九尾天狐。
Tinglou raised his hand, and countless golden light points appeared around him.
zài shàng gǔ zhī shí de nà chǎng dà zhàn zhī zhōng ， yǐ ā xiū luó wáng de qiáng shì ， qí yú de sàn xiān yāo wáng ， shèn zhì bú shì tā yī hé zhī dí ， dàn jiǔ wěi tiān hú yǐ “， tiān mó xīn yuè ”， shén tōng huà qiáng huàn mù ， què ràng ā xiū luó wáng yě chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ tóu 。
在上古之时的那场大战之中，以阿修罗王的强势，其余的散仙妖王，甚至不是她一合之敌，但九尾天狐以“，天魔心月”，神通化强幻木，却让阿修罗王也吃了不小的苦头。
"Go!"
tā yě shì chú le zhēn xiān yǐ wài ， wéi yī yí gè dǎng zhù ā xiū luó wáng fēng máng de rén wù 。
她也是除了真仙以外，唯一一个挡住阿修罗王锋芒的人物。
The light points flashed and merged with the earth elemental energy, entering the puppet's wounds.
qí shí ， dān yǐ shí lì lái shuō ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú yǔ bié de sàn xiān yāo wáng yě bù guò xiāng chà fǎng fú ， hěn nán fēn chū shuí qiáng shuí ruò ， dàn zhǐ yào tà rù tā shì xiān bù hǎo de huàn jìng xiàn jǐng zhī zhōng ， jiù suàn shì ā xiū luó ， yě xǔ yě huì chī xiǎo xiǎo kǔ tóu de 。
其实，单以实力来说，九尾天狐与别的散仙妖王也不过相差仿佛，很难分出谁强谁弱，但只要踏入她事先布好的幻境陷阱之中，就算是阿修罗，也许也会吃小小苦头的。
His method was simpler; instead of disrupting it, he treated other elemental energies as impurities. The earth puppet did not rise again. Tinglou swiftly moved deeper into the passage.
Lin Xuan did not know what had transpired between Tinglou and the Ancient Demon Vase. He almost perished in that place, within the ancientprohibition. Now, he was deep into the passage.
The walls on both sides were uneven, and a purple mist permeated the corridor.
It's poisonous!
For an ordinary cultivator, while they could use a protective shield to block it, the consumption of their essence energy would be incredibly intense, and this would also bring some inconvenience to their actions.

But Lin Xuan could not stop either. He didn't know when Tinglou or the Ancient Demon would catch up from behind.
Lin Xuan did not summon any divine techniques but was still cautious, as he stepped into a trap.
Thisprohibition itself did not have an offensive nature, but it could drive one to madness and death.
It stirred heart demons!
This was the most terrifying kind of illusion. Among the hundred arts in cultivation, illusions were the most mysterious and hardest to master. Their strength varied greatly.
Generally, they wouldn't show much utility, but sometimes, they could produce unexpected results.
For example, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox from the Three Demons of Spirit Realm.
In that ancient battle, despite the might of the Arrogant King, the other scattered fairy kings and demons were not his match. However, with her "Heavenly Demon Heart Moon" divine technique, she transformed earth elemental energy into a powerful illusion, causing the Arrogant King to suffer greatly.
