zài rén jiè zhī shí ， lín xuān yě jiàn guò bù shǎo qì shì huī hóng de chéng shì 。
在人界之时，林轩也见过不少气势恢宏的城市。
In the human world, Lin Xuan had also seen many magnificent cities.
rán ér yǔ yǎn qián xiāng bǐ ， què bù zhí yī tí ！
然而与眼前相比，却不值一提！
However, compared to this one before him, they were insignificant!
rén zhàn zài zhè jù chéng miàn qián ， jiù fǎng fú miǎo xiǎo de lóu yǐ yì bān ， huì mò míng de dài lái yī zhǒng jù dà de yā pò gǎn 。
人站在这巨城面前，就仿佛渺小的蝼蚁一般，会莫名的带来一种巨大的压迫感。
Standing in front of this giant city, a person felt like an insignificant ant, bringing about an overwhelming sense of pressure.
chéng qiáng kuān kuò yǐ jí ， zài shàng miàn hái yǒu yī xiē yóu gē de jiǎ shì ， bù guò xiū wèi bù zhí yī tí ， jǐn jǐn shì gāng mài rù xiū xiān jiè de cài niǎo ér yǐ 。
城墙宽阔以极，在上面还有一些游戈的甲士，不过修为不值一提，仅仅是刚迈入修仙界的菜鸟而已。
The city walls were incredibly wide, with some roving soldiers patrolling on top. However, their cultivation was negligible; mere novices just stepping into the realm of cultivation.
dàn lín xuān què bù gǎn mò shì cǐ chéng de fáng yù ， bù shuō zài chéng shì zhōu wéi ， tā gǎn jué dào dà liàng jìn zhì de qì xī ， qiáng dà wú bǐ ， lián tā yě bù gǎn qīng xīn dà yì ， zài chéng qiáng měi gé shí zhàng de yàng zi ， jiù yǒu yī zūn jù dà de qīng tóng gǔ pào ， tàn chū bàn jié shēn tǐ ， xiǎn de zhēng níng yǐ jí 。
但林轩却不敢漠视此城的防御，不说在城市周围，他感觉到大量禁制的气息，强大无比，连他也不敢轻心大意，在城墙每隔十丈的样子，就有一尊巨大的青铜古炮，探出半截身体，显得狰狞以极。
But Lin Xuan did not dare to overlook the city's defenses. Not only did he feel a large number of powerful禁制 around it, but even on the city walls every ten zhang or so, there were giant ancient bronze cannons protruding half their bodies, looking extremely fierce.
jīng wēi pào ！
晶威炮！
Crystal Might Cannon!
suī rán yǔ zài tiān qiǎo mén suǒ jiàn de bìng bù xiāng tóng ， dàn què yì qǔ tóng gōng ， ér qiě lùn wēi lì ， xiǎn rán yào gèng jiā de jù dà yī xiē 。
虽然与在天巧门所见的并不相同，但却异曲同工，而且论威力，显然要更加的巨大一些。
Although different from what he had seen at Tianqiao Sect, they were similar in principle. In terms of power, this Crystal Might Cannon was clearly more formidable.
“ zhè jiù shì nǐ shuō de xiǎo chéng ？”
“这就是你说的小城？”
"Is this the small city you mentioned?"
lín xuān de shēng yīn yǒu xiē sī yǎ nán tīng ， yǎn qián de jù dǎo ， yī yǎn wàng bú dào biān jì ， shuō chéng yī xiǎo kuài dà lù ， yě méi yǒu shén me xī qí 。
林轩的声音有些嘶哑难听，眼前的巨岛，一眼望不到边际，说成一小块大陆，也没有什么稀奇。
Lin Xuan's voice sounded hoarse and unpleasant. The giant island before him seemed endless; calling it a small continent wasn't out of place. And the scale of Linhai City far surpassed anything in the human world, even slightly inferior to the Yellow Emperor City in Yunzhou.
ér lín hǎi chéng de guī mó ， gèng shì yuǎn fēi rén jiè kě bǐ ， jiù suàn shì yún zhōu de xuān yuán chéng yě yào lüè xùn yī xiē 。
而临海城的规模，更是远非人界可比，就算是云州的轩辕城也要略逊一些。
"Haha, Senior, you must see for yourself. I don’t know about the human world, but by my estimation, this Red Leaf Island's Linhai City is indeed small," the elder said cautiously after observing Lin Xuan’s expression.
“ hē hē ， qián bèi míng jiàn ， wǎn bèi bù zhī dào rén jiè qíng kuàng rú hé ， dàn jiù wǒ dōng hǎi lái shuō ， zhè hóng yè dǎo de lín hǎi chéng què shí zhǐ néng suàn shì xiǎo de 。” lǎo zhě kàn le yī yǎn lín xuān de liǎn sè ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de péi xiào zhe shuō 。
“呵呵，前辈明鉴，晚辈不知道人界情况如何，但就我东海来说，这红叶岛的临海城确实只能算是小的。”老者看了一眼林轩的脸色，小心翼翼的陪笑着说。
Lin Xuan was speechless. There was no need to lie; the Spirit Realm truly thrived. A surge of excitement welled up in his heart, not for nothing had he endured so much hardship to ascend here.
lín xuān zé yǒu xiē wú yǔ ， zhè yàng de shì qíng ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， duì fāng dōu méi yǒu bì yào huǎng yán xiāng qī ， zhè líng jiè guǒ rán fán róng yǐ jí 。
林轩则有些无语，这样的事情，于情于理，对方都没有必要谎言相欺，这灵界果然繁荣以极。
"Alright, thank you for your assistance on this journey. You may stop using spiritual pills now. We will part ways here," Lin Xuan suddenly said coldly.
tā de nèi xīn shēn chù ， mò míng de mào chū yī gǔ xīng è fèn zhī yì ， bù wǎng fèi zì jǐ qiān xīn wàn kǔ de fēi shēng dào zhè lǐ 。
他的内心深处，莫名的冒出一股兴垩奋之意，不枉费自己千辛万苦的飞升到这里。
"Why? Senior, are you not going to enter with me?" The elder was taken aback, showing an expression of surprise in his eyes.
“ hǎo le ， yī lù shàng yǒu láo dào yǒu ， nǐ qiě tíng xià líng dān ， wǒ men jiù zài zhè lǐ fēn shǒu 。” lín xuān tū rán shēng yīn lěng mò de kāi kǒu 。
“好了，一路上有劳道友，你且停下灵丹，我们就在这里分手。”林轩突然声音冷漠的开口。
Lin Xuan shook his head and instructed the elder to halt the spirit boat again.
“ zěn me ， qián bèi bù yǔ xiǎo rén yì qǐ jìn qù ？” lǎo zhě yī dāi ， yǎn zhōng lù chū yì wài de biǎo qíng lái 。
“怎么，前辈不与小人一起进去？”老者一呆，眼中露出意外的表情来。
Though he was puzzled inside, seeing Lin Xuan's resolute expression, the elder dared not disobey. He raised both hands and cast a spell at the spirit boat.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， zài cì fēn fù duì fāng xiān jiāng líng zhōu tíng xià zài shuō 。
林轩摇了摇头，再次吩咐对方先将灵舟停下再说。
A whistling sound entered Lin Xuan’s ears as the spirit boat descended immediately.
suī xīn zhōng dà gǎn yí huò ， dàn jiàn le lín xuān jiān jué de liǎn sè ， lǎo zhě dāng rán bù gǎn wéi ào le ， shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué chōng zhōu ní dǎ le guò qù 。
虽心中大感疑惑，但见了林轩坚决的脸色，老者当然不敢违拗了，双手抬起，一道法诀冲舟尼打了过去。
Lin Xuan had already released his divine sense to detect no other cultivators within ten li around him. With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light shot out, rendering the elder unconscious without any reaction.
wū wū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà líng zhōu dùn shí xiàng xià jiàng luò 。
呜呜的声音传入耳朵，那灵舟顿时向下降落。
"Haha, if I were more ruthless, I could have eliminated you directly; it would have been even safer. But Lin Xuan is not a killer. Considering how much you’ve helped me with my questions about the Spirit Realm, I’ll spare your life for now. However, this memory must be erased."
lín xuān zé yǐ jiāng shén shí fàng chū ” gǎn yìng dào fāng yuán shí lǐ nèi bìng méi yǒu qí tā de xiū xiān zhě ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， nà lǎo zhě sī háo fǎn yìng yě wú ， jiù yǐ yùn guò qù le 。
林轩则已将神识放出”感应到方圆十里内并没有其他的修仙者，袖袍一拂，一道光霞飞掠而出，那老者丝毫反应也无，就已晕过去了。
After saying this, Lin Xuan raised his hand and instantly sucked the elder into his palm. His fingers spread wide to press down on the elder’s head, green light flickering continuously.
“ hēi hēi ， ruò shì xīn hěn shǒu là yì diǎn ， zhí jiē jiāng nǐ miè chú ， yuán běn gèng wéi wěn tuǒ ， bù guò lín mǒu bú shì shì shā zhī rén ， kàn zài nǐ wèi wǒ jiě dá le rú cǐ duō guān yú líng jiè de yí huò ” jiù ráo nǐ yī gè xiǎo mìng hǎo le ， bù guò zhè jì yì me ， zì rán bù néng zài bǎo liú 。”
“嘿嘿，若是心狠手辣一点，直接将你灭除，原本更为稳妥，不过林某不是嗜杀之人，看在你为我解答了如此多关于灵界的疑惑”就饶你一各小命好了，不过这记忆么，自然不能再保留。”
Lin Xuan began to perform a secret technique, sealing and altering the elder's memories.
shuō wán zhè huà yǐ hòu ， lín xuān shǒu yī tái ， lì kè jiāng lǎo zhě xī dào le tā de zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn ， wǔ zhǐ jī zhāng ， àn zhù tā de tóu lú ， qīng sè de guāng yùn bù tíng shǎn shuò 。
说完这话以后，林轩手一抬，立刻将老者吸到了他的掌心里面，五指箕张，按住他的头颅，青色的光晕不停闪烁。
---
lín xuān kāi shǐ shī zhǎn mì shù ， fēng yìn cuàn gǎi qǐ lǎo zhě de jì yì lái le 。
林轩开始施展秘术，封印篡改起老者的记忆来了。
Intruding into someone else's mind was extremely difficult; however, due to their significant difference in power, Lin Xuan completely erased the elder's memories within less than half a cup of tea time. Of course, only those related to him were removed.
xiǎng yào rù qīn duì fāng de shí hǎi ， yuán běn fēi cháng jiān nán ” rán ér liǎng rén de chā jù ， bú shì yì diǎn bàn diǎn ， jǐn jǐn huā le bú dào xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān jiù jiāng lǎo zhě de jì yì wán quán mǒ chú 。
想要入侵对方的识海，原本非常艰难”然而两人的差距，不是一点半点，仅仅huā了不到小半盏茶的功夫，林轩就将老者的记忆完全抹除。
Next, Lin Xuan reached out and pulled out a small jade bottle from his chest.
dāng rán ， jǐn jǐn shì yǔ zì jǐ yǒu guān nà yī bù fèn de 。
当然，仅仅是与自己有关那一部分的。
"Meeting someone is fate. You helped me somewhat; this bottle of pills isn’t worth much to me, but it’s a great opportunity for you. I hope you can form a core."
suí hòu lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， cóng huái lǐ tāo chū yī xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng lái 。
随后林轩伸手一拍，从怀里掏出一小巧的玉瓶来。
He placed the pill beside the unconscious elder, then his entire body was enveloped in green light as he flew towards Linhai City.
“ xiāng féng jí shì yǒu yuán ， hǎo dǎi nǐ yě bāng le wǒ yì diǎn ， zhè yī píng dān yào ， duì lín mǒu lái shuō ， bù zhí yī tí ， dàn yú nǐ ， què shì mò dà de jī yuán ” xī wàng nǐ néng gòu jié dān 。”
“相逢即是有缘，好歹你也帮了我一点，这一瓶丹药，对林某来说，不值一提，但于你，却是莫大的机缘”希望你能够结丹。”
He still concealed his aura; after all, even though the Spirit Realm had abundant resources and better cultivation conditions compared to the human world, making it easier to advance, this wasn’t a given. High-ranking cultivators weren’t easily found.
jiāng dān yào fàng zài hūn mí lǎo zhě de shēn biān ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ” xiàng zhe lín hǎi chéng fēi dùn ér qù 。
将丹药放在昏迷老者的身边，林轩浑身青芒大起”向着临海城飞遁而去。
His own cultivation was already quite formidable; as long as he didn’t encounter an Unfathomable Realm cultivator, he could still dominate freely.
tā yī jiù yǎn gài zhe zì jǐ de qì xī ， bì jìng líng jiè yě jǐn shì zī yuán fēng fù ， xiū liàn gè jiàn jiào rén jiè lái shuō hǎo yī xiē ， xiāng duì ， gèng róng yì jìn jí 。
他依旧掩盖着自己的气息，毕竟灵界也仅是资源丰富，修炼各件较人界来说好一些，相对，更容易晋级。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan had a rough assessment of his current situation.
dàn zhù yì ， yī qiè dōu zhǐ shì xiāng duì ér yǐ 。
但注意，一切都只是相对而已。
He kept a low profile; the current Red Leaf Island Lord was only at the late-stage Immortal Core. If he entered like this, it would undoubtedly cause a stir. Therefore, concealing his aura was necessary.
bìng fēi gāo jiē xiū shì fǔ shí jiē shì 。
并非高阶修士俯拾皆是。
"Hmm, now let’s see what kind of celestial city this Spirit Realm is."
zì jǐ de xiū wèi ， yǐ fēi cháng bù ruò ， zhǐ yào bù yù jiàn dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， yī yàng néng gòu zī yì zòng héng de 。
自己的修为，已非常不弱，只要不遇见洞玄期修仙者，一样能够咨意纵横的。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he sped up his flight.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān duì yú zì jǐ de chǔ jìng ， yǐ dà gài yǒu le yí gè píng gū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩对于自己的处境，已大概有了一个评估。
The gate of Linhai City was over ten zhang tall and made of copper essence. Lin Xuan couldn’t help but marvel; the Spirit Realm truly was a place where such extravagance was possible. Which sect or force in the human world would dare be so extravagant?
dī diào shì tā de yuán zé ， rú jīn de hóng yè dǎo zhǔ ， yě bù guò yuán yīng hòu qī ， zì jǐ ruò shì jiù zhè yàng jìn qù ， kěn dìng yǐn qǐ hōng dòng wú yí ， suǒ yǐ yǎn cáng qì xī shì bì xū 。
低调是他的原则，如今的红叶岛主，也不过元婴后期，自己若是就这样进去，肯定引起轰动无疑，所以掩藏气息是必须。
Copper essence was one of the materials used to forge magical treasures, though commonly used, using it for gates seemed... wasteful.
“ ń ， xiàn zài jiù kàn kàn líng jiè de xiān chéng ， jiū jìng shì shén me yàng zi 。”
“嗯，现在就看看灵界的仙城，究竟是什么样子。”
The value of this gate alone could reach several million crystal stones.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ ， suí hòu fēi xíng de sù dù gèng kuài le xiē 。
林轩喃喃自语，随后飞行的速度更快了些。
At the city entrance, two cultivators in casual robes stood guard. However, both had a small leaf symbol on their collars and cuffs.
lín hǎi chéng de chéng mén gāo zú yǒu shí zhàng yú ， jū rán shì yóu tóng jīng suǒ zhù ， lín xuān bù yóu de àn àn zhuō shé ， líng jiè jiù shì líng jiè ， ruò shì fàng dào rén jiè zhī zhōng ， nǎ yí gè zōng mén shì lì ， gǎn rú cǐ shē chǐ 。
临海城的城门高足有十丈余，居然是由铜精所铸，林轩不由得暗暗拙舌，灵界就是灵界，若是放到人界之中，哪一个宗门势力，敢如此奢侈。
Each island was a domain, similar to sects or families, even with greater authority for the island lord.
tóng jīng ， kě shì liàn zhì fǎ bǎo de cái liào zhī yī ， suī rán shì zuì cháng yòng de yī zhǒng ， dàn yòng lái zhù mén ， yě tài … bài jiā le xiē 。
铜精，可是炼制法宝的材料之一，虽然是最常用的一种，但用来铸门，也太…败家了些。
Life and death were at his command!
zhè shàn mén de jià zhí ” kǒng pà jiù gāo dá shù bǎi wàn jīng shí 。
这扇门的价值”恐怕就高达数百万晶石。
Of course, this was contingent upon his ability to suppress any potential threats.
ér zài chéng mén kǒu ， zé zhàn zhe liǎng míng shēn chuān biàn páo de xiū shì ， bù guò tā men de yī lǐng yòu kǒu ， dōu yǒu yī xiǎo xiǎo de hóng yè biāo shì 。
而在城门口，则站着两名身穿便袍的修士，不过他们的衣领柚口，都有一小小的红叶标示。
Lin Xuan landed his遁光.
yī zuò dǎo ， jiù shì yí gè shì lì ， yǔ zōng mén jiā zú yě méi yǒu shén me bù tóng ， shèn zhì dǎo zhǔ de quán xiàn hái yào gèng dà yī xiē 。
一座岛，就是一个势力，与宗门家族也没有什么不同，甚至岛主的权限还要更大一些。
Within ten li of the city gate, there were extremely powerful禁制 in place.
shēng shā yǔ duó ！
生杀予夺！
Many people were queuing up to enter the city; naturally, they needed to pay a certain amount of crystal stones.
dāng rán ， qián tí shì tā néng jiāng xīn huái bù guǐ zhě yā zhì 。
当然，前提是他能将心怀不轨者压制。
The process went smoothly, and Lin Xuan did not attract any attention from other cultivators. However, one female cultivator glanced at his attire several times. The only difference was the clothing; fortunately, Linhai City had diverse customs, with visitors coming from various seas, making such differences common.
lín xuān jiāng dùn guāng là le xià qù 。
林轩将遁光落了下去。
She simply regarded him as a foreigner.
zài jiē jìn gāi chéng shí lǐ ， jiù yǒu fēi cháng kě pà de jìn kōng jìn zhì 。
在接近该城十里，就有非常可怕的禁空禁制。
This unremarkable detail didn’t go unnoticed by Lin Xuan; he knew he would need to buy new clothes soon.
bù shǎo rén zhèng pái duì jìn rù chéng lǐ ， dāng rán ， zhè xū yào jiāo nà yí dìng shù liàng de jīng shí 。
不少人正排队进入城里，当然，这需要交纳一定数量的晶石。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan entered the city.
zhěng gè guò chéng shùn lì yǐ jí ， lín xuān sī háo méi yǒu yǐn qǐ zhōu wéi xiū shì de zhù yì 。
整个过程顺利以极，林轩丝毫没有引起周围修士的注意。
Inside, it was truly vast. The streets could accommodate over ten carriages side by side.
dǎo shì páng biān yī míng nǚ xiū duō kàn le jǐ yǎn lín xuān de fú shì ， yào shuō wéi yī de bù tóng ， dà gài jiù shì chuān zhe ， hǎo zài lín hǎi chéng sì tōng bā dá ， shí cháng yě yǒu lái zì qí tā hǎi yù de xiū shì ， gè dì yǒu gè dì de fēng sú ， zhè chuān zhe yě shì jiǒng yì 。
倒是旁边一名女修多看了几眼林轩的服饰，要说唯一的不同，大概就是穿着，好在临海城四通八达，时常也有来自其他海域的修士，各地有各地的风俗，这穿着也是迥异。
There were many peculiar buildings on both sides of the street, likely shops.
tā jǐn jǐn shì jiāng lín xuān zūn chéng le wài dì rén ér yǐ 。
她仅仅是将林轩尊成了外地人而已。
Lin Xuan walked towards one building.
zhè bù yǐn rén zhù yì de xiǎo chā qǔ ， lín xuān yě xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， kàn lái yī huì er dǎo shì yào chóng xīn mǎi yī tào yī fú 。
这不引人注意的小插曲，林轩也心中有数，看来一会儿倒是要重新买一套衣服。
Within a cup of tea time, he emerged from the structure with an additional jade bottle in hand.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān jìn rù le chéng shì zhī zhōng 。
心中如此想着，林轩进入了城市之中。
The shop was extremely simple; it only sold one item: the very jade bottle Lin Xuan held.
lǐ miàn dàng zhēn shì fēi cháng kuān kuò ， jiē dào zú kě róng nà shí yú liàng bìng pái xíng zǒu de mǎ chē 。
里面当真是非常宽阔，街道足可容纳十余辆并排行走的马车。
It contained records of various events in Linhai City. With this object, newcomers could quickly familiarize themselves with the city’s life, making it incredibly convenient for them.
jiē dào liǎng pài yǒu bù shǎo qí xíng guài zhuàng de fáng zi ， kàn shàng qù yīng gāi shì diàn pù 。
街道两派有不少奇形怪状的房子，看上去应该是店铺。
However, it was somewhat expensive, priced at ten crystal stones.
lín xuān xiàng zhe qí zhōng yī dòng zǒu guò qù le 。
林轩向着其中一栋走过去了。
He didn’t know if items from the Spirit Realm were generally more expensive than those in the human world or if there was some other reason. Regardless, Lin Xuan wasn’t going to delve into it further; with his wealth, ten crystal stones were mere pocket change.
jǐn jǐn yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， tā jiù cóng nà jiàn zhù lǐ chū lái ， shǒu zhōng hái duō le yī kuài yù tǒng jiǎn 。
仅仅一盏茶的功夫，他就从那建筑里出来，手中还多了一块玉筒简。
Lin Xuan pressed the jade bottle against his forehead and slowly sank his divine sense within.
zhè diàn pù jiǎn lòu yǐ jí ， lǐ miàn zhǐ mài yī zhǒng dōng xī 。
这店铺简陋以极，里面只卖一种东西。
After about a stick of incense time, Lin Xuan raised his head.
jiù shì lín xuān shǒu lǐ de yù tǒng jiǎn 。
就是林轩手里的玉筒简。
"Haha, this Linhai City is much more interesting than I imagined. But let’s address accommodation first," Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
In the human world, Lin Xuan had also seen many magnificent cities.
However, compared to this one before him, they were insignificant!
Standing in front of this giant city, a person felt like an insignificant ant, bringing about an overwhelming sense of pressure.
The city walls were incredibly wide, with some roving soldiers patrolling on top. However, their cultivation was negligible; mere novices just stepping into the realm of cultivation.
But Lin Xuan did not dare to overlook the city's defenses. Not only did he feel a large number of powerful禁制 around it, but even on the city walls every ten zhang or so, there were giant ancient bronze cannons protruding half their bodies, looking extremely fierce.
Crystal Might Cannon!
Although different from what he had seen at Tianqiao Sect, they were similar in principle. In terms of power, this Crystal Might Cannon was clearly more formidable.
"Is this the small city you mentioned?"
Lin Xuan's voice sounded hoarse and unpleasant. The giant island before him seemed endless; calling it a small continent wasn't out of place. And the scale of Linhai City far surpassed anything in the human world, even slightly inferior to the Yellow Emperor City in Yunzhou.
